The fact that Gov. Altgeld pardoned
nineteen burglars, thieves, cut-throats and
similar criminals in one day recently will
not cause a great deal of surprise. But il
is surprising that he should have includ-
ed in his list of favored criminals two
bankers who had been sentenced to the
penitentiary. IT was rather to be expect
ed of him that he would order the bank
ers into solitary confinement upon a bread
aud water diet. because Of the Nervousness
OF their business.

They are logical or nothing in the town
Of Paola, Kan. The other day a man
went up in a balloon. A band played
certain popular air as he sailed away. In
one part of the tune there is a very shrill
bar. AS that bar was being played some
thing happened to the balloon, the man
fell and was killed. A few days later the
band was again playing the same tune,
at a festival. AS the shrill bar was begun
the Santa Claus of the festival was in the
act of descending a rope into the hall,
when the rope broke and Santa fell and
sustained fatal injuries. The citizens,
therefore, have petitioned the town coun-
ell to prohibit the playing of that partic-
ular piece of music within the town linn

Ell CAPTAIN AT SALT LAKE
What the Paper Said CATER" it Had
Been There.

OF De Wolf Hopper and his opera
"El Captain" which were seen in Salt
Lake City last week. the Salt Lake
Tribune has the following to say:
Seeing that every play, good, bad or
Indifferent, is alluded to (previous to It's
production) as being the event of the
season, the term, at this late day, has
its pOrtentCuSness, but judging from
the immense and handsomely attired
audience at the theater last night, De
Wolf Hopper and 'EI Captain must
have been regarded and accepted as
the event of the season.
DE Wolf Hopper is one of the quaint
est, drollest figures on the American
stage. Tall and ungainly and no voice
to boast of, he is yet whole evening
of amusement in himself. 1t would be
difficult to describe his artistic qualities
or to invent words suitable to his orig
inality. He is truly funny in the most
telligent and a reflection of no one but
himself In the grotesque role of Don
Errico Mediqua he affected a sort of
Don Quixote personality, and while
lacking much of the assurance of that
distinguished character, he possessed
the greater part of his exquisite alb
surdity.
THE opera of 'El Captain is what
would be termed popular seeing that
it has many of the light, bewitching
and haunting melodies which go to
make an opera popular. Sousa is very
successful in his climaxes, and the chO-
in the very finest style. The Hbretto
is amusing and has about as much pith
to it as might be expected in light

CLEVELAND ON SUGAR TAX.
Believes it Should Yield a Govern
n1ent Ravanna

Princeton, N. J., June 3.-Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland was asked yesterday if
he had anything to say concerning the
statement made by Senator Jones in the
senate last Friday that he C0dr. CIeve-
lanO had said to him (Senator jones'
that he thought the one-fourth cent on
raw sugar was necessary to the Amer
lean rehners, and that a one-eighth cent
rate would drive the refiners out of
business. Mr.. Cleveland replied:
I have no desire to enter into a dis
pute with the senator on this subject.
but his statement leads me to believe
that he is certainly Iaboring under a

taxation on sugar would be sufficient to
either maintain the sugar trust or to
yield it profits, and everybody that had
any conversation with me during the
trOublous times of tariff conference
could not fail to be aware of my posi-
ton. I have always believed sugar to
be legitimate and eminently proper
subject for tariff taxation, and my anx-
tety only extended to subjecting it to a
fair tribute to necessary revenue with
as little burden to the people as was
consistent to that purpose

a GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From Piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the
study and treatment of Piles and rec
tai diseases. recently stated that the
Pyramid Pile Cure, the new discovery
for the cure of piles, was the most re
markable remedy he had ever seen or
tried in one respect, and that was the
instant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe, from the mo-
ment the remedy was applied; this was
the more surprising to him, because he
had carefully analyyzed the prepara-
ton and no trace of opium, cocaine
or similar poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it
is rapidly taking the place of surgical
operations and because 1t is so simple,
so easily applied and contains no min
eral or other poisons so commonly used
in pile cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the vari-
Gus forms of Piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first ap-
plication, no matter how severe the
pain or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the
instant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important ad-
vantage is that ANYONE can use the
remedy without detention from busi-
ness or interference with daily occu-
patton. Sold by druggists at so cents
per package.

WOMEN WHIP A TRAMP.
Two Young Cyclists Punish Hobo
for Strewing Glass in the
Roadway.

Tombstone, Ariz., June 3.-The Bron-
co Addie Curtis and Flora Hill, two cy-
clists, yesterday severely punished a
tramp for strewing broken glass in
their path.
The young women were resting in the
roadside, near Hayesville, when they
saw a man scattering something in the
path a short distance ahead of them
The fellow disappeared behind some
bushes after completing his work. The
girls rode to the spot and found that
pieces of broken glass had been scat
tered about with the evident intention
of puncturing the tires of their wheels.
Looking about they caught sight of the
tramp hiding in the bushes.
You did this" exclaimed Miss Hill,
pointing toward the man; "come out
here at once and pick up the glass.
The tramp made several attempts to
escape, but only succeeded after the
girls had whipped him severely with
heavy switches.

ERROR SAVED $4,000.
Miss Williams Slip of a Key a Bene-
fit to New Jersey.

Trenton, n. J., June 3.-The very ex-
cusa BILE error which Miss Margaret
Williams made in transcribing the cleo
ton bill and which necessitated the
calling of an extra session of the legis-
lature, proves to have been a blessing
in disguise, for the state is saved about
$4,000. The error was a very simple
one.
Miss Williams nimbIe and graceful
fingers were too quick and she clicked
off the word provide instead of pro-
hibited, that was all. Unfortunately,
somebody was careless enough TO let
her hurriedly-w written copy go without
comparison, and when Governor Griggs
discovered the error Of course Miss
Williams had to bear the unpleasant
part of it all, when in reality she was
not at all to blame. Now, however,
comes an hour of congratulation for

special election to vote upon the con-
stitutiOnal amendments, several regis
tration days were abolished and other
changes made to simplify the election

Miss Williams stating this and decIar-
that the error was not nearly so grave
as it has been painted.

MIRAGE NEAR DULUTH.
Meeting of Two Opposing Armies in
Battle Reflected in the Sky.

Duluth, Mimi, June 3.-A mirage,
showing two large bodies of armed men
engaged in active hostilities. has been
seen in the sky east of the city by sew
eraI different persons. .PatrO1man Kash-
mer who was one of those who saw it,
tells the following story:
About 4 o'clock Monday morning,
while I was walking my beat, my atten-
ton was attracted by a brilliant illum-
ination in the sky 1 thought it was the
sun rising. While I was watching, how
ever, the sky became brighter, and sud
denly what seemed to. be a large body
of men marched into the Illuminated
space and stopped. Another body of
men appeared from an opposite direc-
ton, and at this time 1 could easily see
that both bodies were armed with small
arms and artillery. The two detach-
ments drew up in line of battle and
opened fire on each other. 1t seemed s
if it were only a half mile away, every
thing was so plain. At this time the
sky darkened again, and the picture
faded from view. I am now anxiously
scanning all the papers to see if there
is any account in them of a battle hav-
ing been fought in Cuba at a time to
correspond with the time I saw the

EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIA-
TION MEETING.

For the meeting of the National Ed
ucational association at Buffalo in 1896
the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July to 9,
and members of the associa ton and
others from points west of the Missouri
river should by all means take the
Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars, Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers, din
ing cars and buffet smoking and Ii
brary cars. Fewer changes than via
any other line. One fare, plus $50, for
the round trip will be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.

So SWITCHING CHARGE
Comes Up Before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Chicago.

Chicago. June 2.-The complaint of
the Texas cattle shippers association
against the switching charges, 81 a car
imposed by the roads delivering cattle
to the Union stock yards is being heard
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. Incidental to the 50 switching
charge which the shippers ask the COM
mission to annul by order on the rail-
roads, is involved the matter of alleged
burdensome delay in order to get feed
ing charges from the shippers at the
Chicago yards.
William Brown of the Chicago & AL
ton opened the proceedings by present.
ing motion for the exclusion of the
chicago live stock exchange as an in
terVener. Mr.. Brown charged the live
stock exchange with not being in court
with clean hands. He said he had no
interest in the controversy; that it was
to all intentS corporation, engaged in
unlawful combination and conspiracy
IN restraint of trade and was not such
corporation as set forth in section 10
of the act constituting the interstate
commerce commission
Chairman Morrison said he would
take the motion under advisement and
II at any time in the progress of the
hearing it developed that the live stock
exchange was not concerned in the
hearing, it would be excluded.
w. N. TrueSdale, vice president of the
Rock Island, was then called. He did
not know whether the agents of the
connecting lines of his road in Texas
had notified shippers of the 81 SWITCH
ing charges, but thought his own agents
did. However, he had no contracts for
shipping to refer to. He said he did
not know what the arrangements were
for the use of the tracks at the stock
yards. Delivery at the yards was un-
der a lease of some kind from the stock
yards company.
In answer to a question by Commits
sioner Prouty, Mr.. Truesda1e said the
stock yards company made a trackage
charge of 80 cents. The commissioner
then asked him if the imposition of the
charge of 81 did not simply amount to
q. rate against Chicago and in favor of
St. Louis and Kansas City, there be-
ing differentials to those points.
Mr. TruesdaIe replied that this was
not necessarily so.

TIN PLATE WORKERS, TOO.
They Are Demanding an Advance
While Employers Say Wages
Are Too Hirh Now

Cleveland, June 3.-The demand of
the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron
and Steel Workers for a substantial
advance in the wages of tin plate work.
ers is being met all over the country by
declarations from the employers that
absolutely no advance will be given.
1t is the custom of the Amalgamated
association TO appoint a conference
committee at its annual meeting, which
meets with a committee from the man
ufactuTers and settles the wage ques-
ton for one year. These committees
will meet June Is. The years scale of
dates the breach must be healed or the
tin plate factories must shut down.
One of the leading manufacturers in
that line in Cleveland, says:
1T is pretty near fOregOne concIu-
sion that the manufa cturers of tin
plate in the United States will not ac-
cede to the demands of the Ama1gama-
ted association. They will shut down
first
This position of the Cleveland manu-
facturers is right in line with the ac-
ton of the tin plate men who met in
Pittsburg and declared that they would
not grant an advance to the workers.
Mr.. H. A. Bishop, president of the
Ellwood Tin Plate company, takes a
slightly different view of the situa ton.
1T is too early now he said, ito talk
about the matter of wages in tin plate
factories. Nothing can be said until
after the meeting of the conference
committees next June
In reply to a question as to whether
the conference committee would be like
ly to recede from the position taken by
the association, Mr. Bishop said that he
did not believe the association had any
idea that the men would get the pro-
thing in their meetings and the confer
ence committee arranges for another
when the time comes. MY idea is that
the present scale is high enough and
