the killing of Mrs. Kaiser.

NEWARK N. T., Nov. 26-James A.
Clemmer, of Norristown, Pa, was arrested
here this afternoon on the charge of muir
der and after being taken to police head
quarters he admitted his guilt. On Oct. 70,
1896. Mrs Emma p, Kaiser went driving
in company with her husband, Charles o.
Kaiser, James A. Clemmer and Elizabeth
l.. Dekalb That was the last seen of Mrs
Kaiser. Mrs. Kaiser had not lived with her
husband for some time previously, but she
had placed a $4,000 insurance policy on her
life and this accounted later to the police
for the interest her husband took in her.
On the same day Kaiser, Clemmens and
the Dekalb woman returned with Mrs
Kaiser's dead body. They told a story of
their being waylaid by highwaymen, Mrs
Kaiser being shot dead and Kaiser himself
being slightly wounded in the arm. The
story was not believed and Kaiser and the
Dekalb woman were arrested, Clemmer
making his escape. Kaiser was tried. con-
vcted and sentenced to death The Dekalb
woman is now held for trial. When arrested
Clemmer took matters calmly and denied
his guilt. He claimed that his name was
Harry E. Youngs and that he knew nothing
of the Norristown affair. After being taxi
en- to police headquarters he was searched
by the police and found on him was a roll
of clippings from newspapers containing a
full account of the Kaiser murder includ-
ing the trial and conviction of Kaiser

The Badge Craze.

What idiosyncrasy Of the human
mind causes man to delight IA CO.
vering himself with all sorts ID
varieties of badges would be an inter-
esting study for the society FOR ps,
chical research.
Time was then these decorations
meant something, when man who
wore one attracted the attention of
his fellow-being, and then these com
binations OF silk or metal with their
impossible color schemes reflected
some honor upon the wearer and ut
tracted to him awe and sometimes
admiration.
But to-day badges have become so
common that they must have ceased
to distinguish one man from his
neighbor, and can be to him but a
small source OF satisfaction.
One Of the duties of newly crown
ed ruler is to design a number Of
decorations which he dispatches to
other potentates, the whole transact
ton being very similar to the way in
which railroad officials exchange
passes. No secret society is complete
without a plethora of immense liable
with trimmings in gold or silver. A
species of this singular taste is what
has been popularity termed "the but
ton craze"
The latter has taken such violent
form that legislation has been forced
to take hand, and many cite have
more or less stringent ordinances
regulating or controlling the mania,
so that the harmless aud well-mean-
ing citizen may not himself, through
association be taken with the lunacy
and thus the necessity of enlargin &
our insane asylums may not become
one OF our so.cslled 'problems of
the Countrywide LeavingVorth
Times.

New Kind of Steel.

Remarkable reports are current
about a new kind OF steel invented
by Samuel Maxim at his expert
mental laboratory at Wayne, Ne.
The inventor believes it to be identi-
cal with the ancient steel of India,
which is alleged to have been far
superior to any steel known to
metallurgists in modern times. 1t
is said that small blade made from
the Maxim steel possesses the power
OF cutting glass with as much ease
as il it were chalk.

Preserving Human Bodies.

There were good embalmers in the
old days. Only few years ago the
brains of James 1. of England were
discovered inclosed in little leaden
case in a hospice in Paris. Four
hundred and sixty-three years after
Edward |. died he was found to be
little, if at all, changed, so far as
contemporary pictures could be trust
ed. The flesh of the face was little
wasted-that was all. Canute died
in 1017: in 1866 his body was
found to be still quite fresh looking.
In the tenth century the bodies of
several Roman soldiers were exhum.
from an Aberdeen peat bog, and
after 1900 years were as fresh and as
plump as if they had only been in
tered few months. The remains
OF William the conqueror and his
wife were found absolutely perfect
in the sixteenth century. Lady
Kilsyth and her infant were embalm-
ed in 17l7 and close upon eighty years
afterwards discovered to be as perfect
as at the time in which the burial
took place. The bodies of Thomas
Gray, one time marquis of Dorset
shire, and Robert Bray brook, Bishop
of London in the fourteenth century
were also strangely preserved for
centuries.

THE TRUST GETS ITS OWN

The Senate voted Friday
to take not less than $53, ,24l, 900 out
of the pockets Of the American
people and present it to the Sugar
Trust, The Republicans were able to
force the bounty through only with
the aid of the Democrat McEnery,
Of Louisiana, and Jones and Stew
art, the two ancient Nevada friends
of the Sugar Trust
The Republicans felt that they
did not dare to pass this schedule
in silence. So in the absence Of
Aldrich, Senator Allison undertook
to defend the indefensible and eX-
cuse the ineXcusable, But he
made a sad mess Of It,
When Mr., German proved that
the trust was getting double the
protection Of the present tariff law,
Mr. Allison could not deny it, When
Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, showed
that the schedule was based upon
false figures furnished by the trust,
Mr., Allison could not get around it..
When Mr., White showed that the
bounty to the trust was at least
SOB, ,2ll 900, Mr., Allison could only
wave it aside,
Finally Senator Tillman remind
Mr.. Allison Of Mr.. Havemeyer's ia
nous admission-that there are
only %, 600 men employed in the su-
gar reAneries Of this country and
that sugar refining can be done
more cheaply here than in any
oteer country in the world, When
Senator Tillman askedif these facts
justified any protection at all, not
to speak of twenty millions a year,
Senator Allison could only stammer
and retire under cover Of Senator
Hoars burst Of eloquence about
beet sugar farms,
But the Republicans made up for
their weakness in argument by
their strength in votes, And the
trust had Its way And the "for-
gotten man. is still forgotten

HOW TExARKANA WAS NAMED.

Texarkana was named for taking
rib each from Texas, Arkansas
and Louisiana. The name OF the
town leads many to think that it is
located on the boundary Of the
three states, but It isn't. Part Of
the town is in Texas and part in
Arkansas, but Louisiana is twenty
miles away. If TeXarkana were in
Louisiana it might be great deal
more interprising. - Shreveport
Journal.
You are right, Mr. Journal man,
when the men named TeX-Ark Ana.
They intended it to rest in the
three states ana they picked out
the ground suitable for its growth,
"Rome was not built in a day and
Texarkana has spread from a small
railroad company ground to a city
that covers over six square miles,
equally divided between Texas and
Arkansas, and it IS growing yet ana
that in the direction of the Louisi-

A Brazen Hold Up.

This is the forcible declaration Of
ex-senator ingalls,, a stalwart OF
stalwarts in the Republican ranks
in denouncing the sugar schedule
of the Dinglcy tariff bill, When
such men as ingalls, rises up and
condemns this piece OF rank legisla-
ton attempted by his own party
the evidence must be accepted as
not being merely a partisan utter
aDce. Here is what he says;
From the Republican point Of
view it would be better that the
tariff bill should fail than the sem
ate sugar schedule should stand, 1t
is the most bra2en and audacDous
hold-up Of the century 1t has no
excuse except the Unsuitable greed

These brigands propose to pilIage
the nation and to compel congress
to become their accompices, The
trust schedule will defy competl-
tion, annihllate the beet sugar in
dustry and add to the oppressive
burdens OF every citizen Of the

pose of swelling the already inordl-
nate gains Of remorseless monop-
