Incendiary Attempt.

Scholz's Palm garden on Alamo
and Losoya streets, was as near
being made nothing but a pile OF
ashes Sunday night as it probably
ever will be again until the
actual fact happens.
The employees had cleaned up
everything and were about to close
the place at II o'clock. when a
waiter named Max discovered the
smell of smoke and gave the
alarm. A thorough search of the
three floors of the building re-
vealed nothing until visit to the
back cellar was made, when the
fire was discovered in the wood
work near the lunch kitchen. 1t
was gaining considerable Roadway,
and had 1t not been eXtinguished
in time, a disastrous fire to the
entire block of buildings in which
the saloon is situated would have
resulted.
The fire was plainly Of incend.
larry origin, but on whom to fix
the guilt is question which
will probably ever remain un'
settled.

WAS SHE DIVORCED.

Peculiar Legal Puzzle In a Pittsburg
Case.
An interesting legal question is now
puzzling Judge, respondent, prothono-
tary and attorneys in a divorce suit.
Kate Hughes, of Carnegie, was re-
Gently granted a decree divorcing her
from her husband. The question is
whether she is divorced woman or
widow. The case is peculiar, and the
prothonotary will probably lose his
fees, no matter which way the case is
decided. Mrs. Hughes does not want
a decree she has been fighting for nine
months.
Kate Hughes is we'll known resi-
dent of Carnegie. Her husband, Mar
tin Hughes, worked for the Panhandle
railroad for many years and had
large number of friends in this city.
About three years ago he left for parts
unknown and sent no word to his wife
or friends. He remained away so
long that Mrs. Hughes determined to
secure a divorce. She engaged attor-
ney ]. d. Watson, and entered suit.
After nine months. several hearings
being held, the divorce was recon-
mended by the commissioner in the
case. Martin Hughes had not appear
ed, either in person or by counsel.
On the moring the decree was hand
ed down by the court Mrs. Hughes re-
ceived a telegram from New Jersey,
advising her that her husband Martin
Hughes, who had been employed on
railroad there, had been killed. Be
fore he died he had given them his ad-
dress. Mrs. Hughes had spent large
sum of money obtaining the divorce.
That morning it was handed down,
signed by the Judge, but she refused
to appear. The prothonotary has not
Transcribed it on his docket. The
question is whether she was divorced
when the Judge signed the decree or
when he handed it down. The hus-
band was killed before the decree was
placed in the hands of the prothono-
tary. If Mrs. Hughes was a wife she
is entitled to damages from the rail-
road company, If a divorced woman
she has no claim.-Pittsburg CONNER

TARIFF THE ISSUE.
Democrats Are Trying To Dodge Be-
hind The Silver Craze.

Democrats Are Trying To Dodge Be-
hind The Silver Craze.
Chicago, July 2S.-Robert p. Porter,
Washington, has arrived at Republi-
can headquarters to enter on his du-
ties as chief caretaker of the tariff in
terests in the coming campaign.
Major McKinley's nomination was
not only by reclamation of the dele
gates at st. Louis" he said, but by
the voice of the great majority of the
people of the United States. The
cause of that spontaneous uprising was
not the money question, it was de-
mand for the restoration of protection,
and the benefits which accrue to a
people governed by protection princi-
Piles. The other side has tried to turn
the issue to a contest between gold
and silver and our people have thus
far made a mistake in allowing this
issue to supercede the greater issue on
which McKinley's nomination was
made almost unanimously by the en-
tire people. Now, while it will not do
to belittle that issue, we must not al
low it to occupy the whole stage, to
the exclusion of the more important
question of reviving business indus
tries by going back to the principles
which have done more than anything
else to build up American industry in
the past.
THE memories of the people are not
so short-lived as some seem to mag
inc. The scars of 1894 have not yet
been forgotten. Armies of unemploy
ed men in every industrial center bear
witness to the disruption of property
consequent on the abandonment of the
principle of protection, even for short
time. In Cleveland alone there are
10000 men out of work. and that is
but an instance of the state of affairs
prevailing in every industrial center.
We should be guilty of little short of
criminal negligence to overlook this in
the campaign ahead of us. The silver
craze is a subterfuge on the part of the
enemy to distract our attention from
the greater questions of providing
means for the resurrection of national
prosperity. Therefore, the tariff ques-
ton will force itself to the front in this
campaign, no matter what the other
side may do"

seven foreign members was 70 years and
