available troops in this vicinity will be
ordered out, including the artillery at
Washington barracks, the cavalry at
Fort Myer, the marine from the bar

the District of Columbia. The civil

sits firmly in the saddle, the steed is
slightly checked and the whole statue
gives the impression of reserve force.
The artist is II. h. Ellicott, of this city,

CYCLISTS IN REVOLT.

Webster City, Iowa, May 12.-The
city council has just passed an ordi-
nance doing away with scorching on
the public streets and compelling BIZ
cycle riders to use a lamp at night
Last night to show their disapproval
of the ordinance hundred riders
formed in line, and amid the rafting
of all kinds Of bells and the blowing of
tin horns and whistles paraded the
streets until after midnight. There is
a strong probability that, as the result
OF last nights demonstration, the coun-
Gil will pass another ordinance keeping
bicycles off the street altogether.

A QUEER CASE.

Nea York, May MARY Alice La
mont Livingston, known as Mrs. Flem-
ing, was put on trial yesterday charged
with poisoning her mother She is the
strangest woman ever charged with
crime in the courts of New York. The
mother of four children, she has never
been a wife. Accused of a terrible
crime, she has had few sorrows, since
she was granted the privilege of re-
moval from the Tors2bs to a city hospi-
tai that her baby might not be born in
Jail. Apparently normal woman, full
of motherly love. sweetly considerate of
those about her in the prison or in the
hospital, she has won the hearts of all
attendants, and they look forward, as
she does, to an easy and complete ac-
quittal. The prosecuting officers look
forward as confidently to conviction.

KIPLNG'S QUARREL.

Kipling is ia danger of being mum

of countless readers of his mystic
stories His life is in danger, and he
seeks the protection of the laws of
this beastly country" Kipling's wife

family. Her elder brother. now dead,
was, in conjunction with Kipling, the
author of several stories. One mem

Beatty Balestier, whose escapades have
caused her and her noted husband
much trouble. Beatty carries ON a
small farm a short distance above this
town. He is a bright, capable man.
Some time ago Kipling made brotberiy
advances toward him and offered to
straighten his affairs. which had be-
come somewhat tangled, If he would
leave his path of roses and thistles.
To Kipling's entreaties Balestier turned
a deaf ear and was sadly ruffled in
temper, the rufiles increasing until dec
laration of hate on the part of Bales
tier resulted. A short time ago Kip
ling was coming from his retreat on
Putney hill to trade in town Bales
tier had business on the same road
and a result of the meeting was the
opening of hostilities, Balestier threat
ening to take Kipling's life. There
upon Rudyard came here, related his
grievances and Balestier was brought
before Judge Newton and had a pre-
liminary hearing Balestier WIS held
in $500 not to do INJURY t. Kipling be-
fore tomorrow Though his relatives
are rich none would furnish bail, and

to Philadelphia and identify the body.
This he did positively, and 50 did Alice

Philadelphia, May 8.---Probably the
most remarkable murderer OF modern
times paid a just penalty for his crimes
when II. Fl. Holmes Cor Herman Mud
gett was hanged In Moyamensing
prison yesterday The man died full
OF nerve He modestly asserted his IN
nocense. kissed the crucihx and fell to
his doom. His previous night was one
OF sound sleep and his breakfast was
hearty The execution occurred at
1912. In his last statement he de-
elared that the only wrong doing in
taking human life for which he could
be held responsible consisted in the
death of two women as q result OF
criminal operations at his hands. He
did not name the victims
The particular murder for which he
was hung was that Of Benjamin r.
Pletzel, which occurred in Philadelphia
Sept. 2, 1894 and was the elimination
of conspiracy between the men to de-
fraud the Fidelity Mutual Life associa-
ton OF this city. Of 100000, and the
swindle was successfully accomplished
Holmes and Pietzel became acquainted
In Chicago In 1890. Pietzel was mar
rled and had six children He was
poor, and was not averse to engaging
in dishonest business If 1t were lucra-
tive. Holmes had been practising for
gerry, and he induced Pietzel to enter
the same line" In January 1898,
Pietezl was arrested in Terre Haute,
Ind for passing forged paper. Holmes
went there aud gave $500 straw bail
for Pietzel. who thereupon ran away.
Holmes sent him to Fort Worth,
Texas, under the name Of Benton r
Lyman He had with him deed to
property there valued at $4,000. which
belonged TO Minnie r. Williams. am
