will bring ruin and misery
it would be appropriate
to put it through on hang

Republican Senators expect
the bill to be passed rs early
as Wednesday or Thursday
Of this week, but that is not
very probable. Republicans

SAUSAGE FACTORY MURDER.

More Damaging Ev,denc. A.ninst the
Defens"-The ST. r stS Its Csse.
CHICAGO, May 29-Prof. Mark De-
lafontaine, the expert chemist, has
made discovery in his Investigations
into the contents of the vat in the
Luettgert sausage factory which is
considered by the prosecution to be of
nature most damaging to the de ense.
In the sediment not only has he found
traces OF teeth, but also mum ber of
flakes of composition only found in
the human tooth.
This together with the broken false
tooth found by the police near the vat,
is looked upon by the prosecution as
the strongest kind of evidence to es-
tablish the corpus delecti, which the
defense has maintained was wanting
in the states case.
The state rested its case Friday with
the evidence of Prof. Della ontaine and
Dentist Klein. Noeffort will be made
to call any other witnesses except in
rebuttal, and then only in case an ef-
fort is made by the defense to go into
expert testimony.

THE PORTE

Consents to Negotiate Terms Of Peace
With the Powers-The Greek Com
msuders Must First Sign the Arm,ssice.
LONDON, May 29.-The porte has con-
sented to negotiate terms of peace
with the powers, provided that the
Greek commanders first sign the arm
istice, and that the treaty be signed
by the Turkish and Greek ministers in
Thessaly.
The Daily Mail here says: The ques.
tiop of giving up Thessaly to Greece is
rapidly becoming more serious in Con-
stantinople. The ministers and civil,
military and religious officials-all
classes from The palaces to the
street porters-are against the with
drawal Of the troops. Every imagina a.
able influence is being exerted on the
sultan to have him retain the CONCUR
ed territory. He alone does not show
his hand. 7 he Sheikh- Ul-Islam de-
clares it impossible Tor Islam to aban-
don without war, territory conquered
from infidels.
Exalted Ottoman officials build
much on Germany's jealousy of Russia,
and assert, apparently with truth,
that the German emperor is straining
to oust Russia from her position OF
confidential advisor to the sultan.

This enragei the old woman.
She procured an empty oat sack,

child heard groans in the cabin and
went to investigate. To his surprise
he found that the sack had caught fire

How q Smart Young Drummer Made
Clean Thousand Dollars.
A neat way of making clean thou
sand dollars was contrived by travel
ing salesman who was idle a few
months ago. He had learned fact in
connection with trade methods which
he resolved to profit by at the first OPP
portunity. Every house of any stand
ing is in the habit of importing one or
more Worth costumes in the course of
the season, to serve as models for their
own designers and as attractive objects
of display.
When their purpose is served they are
glad to dispose of the costumes at a
third of their cost, if this can be done
without interfering with their regular
trade. The goods are dead stock"
when they have been on exhibition for a
time. No woman who could afford to
wants to wear dress which would be so
easily recognized as having been lately
on exhibition.
The bright young drummer, antici-
pating period of ofinactivity, quietly Sc
cured options on costumes in number
of good stores, promising that they
would not be sold in this vicinity. Then
he secured the 'elite directory" of
Chicago and addressed a number of neat
circulars to selected list of names in
viting the ladies to inspect number Of
Worth's latest creations at the Palmer
house parlors.
This and the expense of his journey
embraced all of his expenditures, for
the houses knew and trusted him to
make returns for the goods. In two
weeks he had sold out, the result being a
net profit of 81, ,OOO-N. Y. World.

COLUMBIA, s. c., May 29-While two
companies of ocal militia were stand.
ing their annual inspection on the ath.

foul ball struck by a student engaged
in game of baseball at the other end
OF the grounds, struck the horse of
Maj b. b. Evans, an officer on Adjt
Gen. Watts staff. The militia had been
given permission to use only half of
the grounds, but Gen. Watts immedi.
ately requested the ball players to
withdraw until the troops could march
past to leave the field. This the stu
dents refused to do; and the police de-
clining to interfere, Gen. Watt ordered
the troops to advance. The students
resisted and some broke through the
line. A general riot followed, in
the course OF which policeman
was knocked senseless and a student
named McColl had his head crushed,
from the effects of which he may die.
Professor OF History r. Means Davis,
interfering, was knocked down by a
student and as were also two soldiers.
The soldiers were hardly to blame;
they obeyed orders.
The police being powerless, the fac
ulty finally quieted the students and
the soldiers were marched back to
their armories.
