STOCKTON, CAL, May 16.-One of the
most tendish murders in the history of
Calaveras County was committed at An-
gels Camp this afternoon. Harry Arnett
shot his 15-year-o old wife through the heart
and then Drained her with hatchet. Ar.
nett is now in custody, but there is such
strong talk of Iynching that he may
pay the penalty for his crime before morn
ing. It has been almost impossible to hold
back the men who are clamoring ior his
life.
The murderer is well known in Angels
Camp. He has been engaged in the candy
business there and has accumu-
lated some money and property in the
famous mining town. He is about 81 years
OF age and has always been we'll regarded
by the citizens of Angels. Many months
ago he fell in love with the youthful
daughter of Mrs. Knight, who had resided
for long time at Angels, but is now
resident of Stent, another mining center.
The mothers consent was gained and last
ember, although pretty Miss Knight
was but IA years of age, she was united in
m arriage to the man who murdered and
mangled her this afternoon.
Since the marriage the child-wife of the
candyman has not been happy, and there
have been frequent quarrels between her
and Arnett. This afternoon they were at
home, and with Mrs. Arnett was another
girl, her cousin. Words passed between
Arnett and his wife, and the quarrel
finally becam me so heated that she talked
of getting a divorce from him. At this
he grew frantic and threatened to kill his
wife, and when her cousin demonstrated
he threatened to take her life also. Be-
coming more and more enraged, he drew a
revolver and fired at Mrs. Arnett. The
bullet entered her breast, and ranged
downward near the heart. Not satisfied
with his work, the fiend seized hatchet
and buried it in her brain. He again
threatened to kill the cousin, who thor
oughly frightened, ran screaming from the
house and gave the alarm to the neigh
borhood. Arnett dragged the mutilated
body of his child-wife to the door, leaving
it there with the head on the doorsill, He
then fed.
When the screams of the cousin of the
murdered girl drew the attention of the
neis hbors they hastened to the Arnett
house. The yourg wife was not dead, but
she passed away without gaining con-
sciousness ten minutes later.
Instantly the citizens of Angels started
out to hunt for the murderer. He led
them lively chase. but after half hour
he was found where be had dropped from
loss OF blood and exhaustion. He had
fired three bullets into his breast, but
none of the self-intiicted wounds are
necessarily fatal. He was taken into

LONDON, Eng, MAY 16.-The solution

the Russian scheme that has been framed
since the outbreak of the war, when it was
foreseen that Turkev would be the victor
and would demand an indemnity tina;
Greece would be unable to Immediately
pay.
The powers are agreed to the extent OF
thinking the prolonged Turkish occuDa-
ton OF ThessalY would raise grave
troubles. The only solution of the ques-
ton will be a European commission to
administer the finances of Greece until
the indemnity is completely paid. Eu-
rope will therefore make advances to
Greece, which Will permit of prompt pay

D.. PARIS, FRANCE, Nav ia dispatch to

that the powers will adopt Russia's scheme
OF advancing money to Greece to enable
her to meet the demands of Turkey for the

land was already settled upon by Jane

white man. Attorney Dewey, for Black
Tomshawk, insisted that the land legally
belonged to his client and that Mrs. Wal.
dron lost her Indian rights by marrying a
white man. For century the interior
department had decided adversely to Mr..
Dewey's statement and three different
times followed the precedent already set
by the department and decided against
Black Tomahawk. Finally, however,
Mr.. Dewey got the case before the attor-
ney general and it was decided in favor
OF Black Tomahawk. This case estab-
fishes precedent of widespread interest,
in that it makes married woman OF the
same status as her husband.

Seattle Times: John II. McGraw on
Thursday retired from the presidency Of
the First National bank and Was succeed

known lawyer and railroad man. 1t is
said that Ex-Governor McGraw is a can
didate for United States marshal for the
state of Washington. This sounds as il
McGrsw intended to begin at the ground
of the political ladder again, and try to
make another ascension. The ex.goyer
nor was once a policeman; then city
marshal, sheriff of King county and with
big leap bounded into the gubernatorial
chair. If now he can begin all over with
United States marshal, he may go to
congress in 1898, and succeed Turner in
the United States senate in 1913. Who
knows? For Governor McGraw is still
young man, and as full of political am
bition as he was when at the head of the
police force in Seattle.

ADVANTAGE Of sleep.

In reply to the question, Is it wise for
a man to deny himself and get along
with few hours sleep a day, to do more
work? Tesla, the great electrician, is
said to have replied: That is great
mistake, am convinced. A man has
just so many hours to be awake, and the
iewe, Of these he uses up each day, the
more days they will last; that is the
longer he will live. I believe that q man
might live two hundred years if he
would sleep most of the time. That is
why negroes often live to advanced old
age, because they sleep 30 much. 1t is
said that Gladstone sleeps seventeen
hours every day; that is why his faculties
are still unimpaired in spite of his great
age. The proper way to economic life
is to sleep every moment that is moi
necessary or desirable that you should be
awake"

Conservative historians among the
Chinese claim for their race an antiquity
OF at least 100000 years, while those
whose estimates are little "wild" assert
that the Chinese were the original in
habitants OF the earth, and that Chinese
history goes back at least 100000, 200
years. The government records OF China
place the foundation of the empire at
2500 b. c., and claim that it Was estab-
lished by Tohi, who they assert, is the

Bimetaiiism IA Live Issue sui.

If any had supposed that bimetallsm
was dead issue, the scene in the United
States senate last week Tuesday would
Completely have dispelled that impression.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire
made brilliant and scholarly address,
in which he said that the shrnkage in
values as a result of the characterization
OF silver had been enormous, and made
the uncomfortable statement of his be-
lief that "prices had not as yet touched
bottom" He declared that Bryan's de-
feat was not because the people did not
desire silver as part OF their standard
money, but because they believed that
the Chicago platform meant silver mono
metallism; that they are now as they al,
ways had been, in favor of bimetallism,
and closed by declaring that unless this
fact was recognized by the incoming adj
ministration ultimate defeat would be
inevitable. We give the senator's own
language;
''lf the republican party shall content
itself with seizing and enjoying the spoils
OF office, surrendering unfeservedly to
the money power, which so effectively
contributed to its recent victory, acqui-
escing permanently in the gold standard
and treating bimetallism as juggling
