The chic thing now Is to have a maid of

her only attendant. The reason for this
sudden change is that it has been proved

CABLE TROUBLES.
ONE COMPANY SHUT DOWN FOR
INSTRUMENTATION.
Disseminated in Rates and Was Ordered
To Quit, But Failed to do so and
Now They're Sorry They Did it,.

Buenos Ayres, Feb. 1.-The follow
ing account is given of the recent
trouble between the cable companies
operating in South American states:
The Western and Brazilian company
has been enjoying a monopoly of tele-
graph communication on the coast of
Brazil, the concession running until
1918. This telegraph line is connect
ed with the city of Buenos Ayres by
lines operated by the River Plate
Telegraph company, of Montevideo.
In order to prevent competition in
business destined for the United
States and Europe, an. Overcharge of
fifty cents in gold per word has been
imposed on kilograms via Galveston
to Brazil, since the year 1892. Rep
reservations to different governments
concerned produced no effect until
last June, when this government or
dered the River Plate Telegraph COM
pany to stop collecting this overcharge
in Argentina territory. Protests and
proposals of arrangement followed, all
tending to elude the jurisdiction of
Argentina until October, when the gov
eminent of Argentina gave the River
Plate company "a hours in which to
comply with its DEGREES. They then
replied stating that they had Obeyed
and always would obey the orders of
FNhiS hoS Sinnn hapn
found to be misleading, because on
the occasion of the reduction of rates
in January, the Oyercharge on mes
sages to Brazil figured along with the
new tariffs submitted to the govern
ment for approval, according to law.
The government sent a representative
to tho office of the River Plate Tele-
graph company to prove that violation
was being insisted upon and at 3
O'Clock, stopped the service here be
cause of the alleged evidence of insu-
bordination. Since then the River
Plate Telegraph company has inquir-
ed of the government concerning the
terms under which the re-opening of
its office would be permitted and the
government has replied that only on
unconditional surrender without any
reserve, expressed or implied, would
the company be allowed to continue
it's business. 1t is now believed that
the office here of that company will
continue closed until the orders of the
government in the matter Of uniform
tariffs and the charging of all the
public alike and the stopping OF dis
eliminating rates hitherto imposed
on kilograms via Galveston are
obeyed.

MURDERER CAPTURED.
MUST NOW PAY THE PENALTY OF
HIS FIENDIsH CRIME.
He Has Already Been Convicted and Now
Only Has to Have the Sentence
Carried Out.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. by the
capture of George Taylor at Hanford,
Cal, the last chapter in one of the most
atrocious murders in Missouri's history
has been begun. Requisition papers
will be gotten out Immediately for the
return of the noted murderer and
death on the scaffold which awaits
Taylor will doubtless rapidly bring to
an end the Meeks family horror. Bill
and George Taylor were brought here
and condemned to hang together for
the murder of the Meeks family and
while in the Carrollton Jail escaped on
the night of April IL last. Bill was
caught on the roof of the Jail and re-
turned to his cell and less than a
month later was hanged for his part
in the crime. George made his escape
and till now has eluded capture, though
he had been reported to have been seen
in many places.
Gus Meeks, his wife, his two little
girls, and his baby were shot and bea-
ten to death on the night of May 18th,
1894, on a lonely road in Sullivan coun-
ty, Missouri. The Taylors were ban
kers and had been accused OF making
u DlS CdlllG Sltdls MCthS was W pN
the principal witness for the state and
on the night of the murder the Tay
lors were aiding the family to leave
the country, they having paid Meeks
for agreeing not to appear against
them. After most brutality numbering
all but Nellie, years old, the brothers
placed the bodies of all in a straw sack
on Geo. Taylor's farm. Nellie who
was wounded, managed to crawl from
the stack next morning and gave the
alarm. The Taylors fled and for
months the whole country around the
scene of the crime was up in arms.
The murderers in three months were
run down at Mountain Home, Ark,
and brought home for trial. Several
attempts to lynch them were made but
the law was permitted to take its
course. They had plenty of money
and at the first trial succeeded in buy
| ing the jury. Finally murder in the
| first degree was returned and the SEN
tence of hanging which Bill has al
| ready undergone, and which must soon
take place in Georges case, was pro-
nounced.

RAILROAD MEN PROTEST.
Don't Want A Reduction OF Passenger
Rates.

Peoria, ILL.,, Feb. IF. 2. Sargent
grand master of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen, has returned from
the conference at Little Rock, Ark',an
makes the following official statement:
ION January 25, at union meeting
held in the city of Little Rock, Ark,
under the auspices Of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, Order OF
Railway Conductors, Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen, Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen, and the Order OF
Railroad Telegraphers, business OF
national interest was considered. At
ter a full discussion of the Philips
commission bill, the Erdman arbitra-
ton bill and the contempt bill, now
pending before Congress, they were
unanimously endorsed, and W. f.
Hynes, representative in Washington,
of the five great railroad brotherhoods,
was hired to present the sentiments OF
this representative body of railroad
men in the southwest to the senator's
and representatives there assembled.
THE proposed bill before the Legis-
latures of the several states, tending
toward a reduction of passenger and
freight rates, were considered move
ment that would impair the revenue
of the railway companies and would
inevitably result in a reduction of wa
ges Of railway employees and it was
unanimously agreed that the above
named organizations through their
membership in the several states
where these bills are pending, should
use their united efforts to prevent the
passage Of any measure that would
tend to curtail the earnings of the rail-
way companies, thereby endangering
the present scale of wages paid to en-
ployes and to appeal to the friends OF
labor, and the members of the State |
Legislature, to vote against such meas
ures."

ARBITRATION DON'T GO.
NOT IN THE PRESENT AMENDMENT
FORM, ANYWAY.
Salisbury Will Never Consent to Accept
The Treaty as the Senate Commit
tee Has Amended it.

New York, FEB. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
The Anglo-American arbitration
treaty, as amended by the Senate
committee on foreign relations, is
highly Objectionable TO the admins
tration.
If the treaty in it's present amended
shape is ratified by the Senate, it will
not be proclaimed during the present
administration, or during Lord Sails
bury's incumbency of office in, Eng
land. Such at least is the opinion of
leading members of the daministra-
ton who recognize that Lord Sails
bury has already made considerable
political capital for himself out of the
fact that he was able to successfully
negotiate n treaty with the Cleveland
administration and will have moth
ing to lose by refusing TO accept
amendments made by the Senate, pur-
posely made Objectionable to Great
Britain.
The amendments will be opposed by
the administration not only because
they destroy the vital parts of the
proposed treaty, but because the state
department is morally certain that If
the treaty goes to Great Britain in its
present amended form it will be
turned down" and long time may
elapse before the United States will
ever again have the opportunity of
securing peace on such easy terms.
1t is not definitely known whether
Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote have conferred regarding
the committee amendments, but your
correspondent has positive knowledge
that the administration officials have
abandoned all hope of the acceptance
of the treaty by Great Britain If rat
flied in it's amended form.
Your correspondent has also learned
of another important amendment 10

GOOD RUSSIA.

New York, Feb. IA dispatch to
the Herald from St Petersburg says:
The Blasnost, which, of late, seems
to have been especially inspired con-
corning the little" eastern question
as the Turkish question is called here,
in contradiction to the greater" east
ern question-speaking of Corea,
says:
Russia cannot descend to the pill
lage of Turkey together with Tur-
keys other creditors. Russia has Civ
en- Turkey a hundred years to pay her
war indemnity of three million rou-
bles a year. Russia has shown she
knows how to be magnanimous, nor
does France wish to exchange the in
terest in her pocket for Russia's
friendship. Russia always shows
the same traditional policy-namely,
not to interfere with the internal af-
fairs of other countries"

WHAT THE LIGHT BELIEVES.

1.-The Evening Light appears to be-
lieve that the securing, through long
and faithful service, of an honorable,
responsible and lucrative position in
the community, hold a good social po-
sition, and being connected by family
ties with reputable people is a dis
qualification for holding public office"
Daily Express.
BY no means. But the Light does
believe that public Office is public
trust, and that no man by reason of his
social position, connected by family
ties or loyal service to the interests Of
q private corporation should invest him
with a life tenure to public office. On
ly this, and nothing more. Let's take
a look at the books and count the cash.

that the minutes of the union for last

SHARK HOOKS.
Fitted with n Length of stout Chain
That the Shark Can't Bite Through.

That the Shark Cun I Blte InFOuBns
Shark hooks are made in various
sizes, ranging in length from five inches
to IA inches, and in width from 14s
inches to 3A inches. They are pro-
vided with chain and swivel, the
chain of the various sized hooks rang
ing from 10H inches TO % inches in
length. Shark hooks with chains sell
from so cents to two dollars, says the
New York Sun
Shark skin and shark oil are utilized
for some purposes, and IN Mediter-
ranean countries young sharks are
eaten; but the catching of sharks for
profit is mostly confined to Europe.
Here they are taken mainly for sport.
Every coasting vessel is likely to carry
a shark fishing outfit, and every fisher
man is sure to, and shark tackle is
often carried on yachts. Fishermen
may catch sharks to get them out OF
the way so that they will no longer pur'
sue and disturb the fish. On coast
er if they run across sharks the men
are likely to fish for them just for fun;
and shark fishing from the yacht would
also be a diversion. 1t may be that
in shark fishing from yacht the owner
will try his skill on the shark with a
rifle, killing il before it is hauled
aboard.
Sharks are sometimes mounted by
the taxidermist as show pieces for ex'
hibition purposes, but they are never
mounted whole as trophies. Occasion
ally a sportsman or a sailor brings in
TO be mounted sharks Jaws
