Mr.. Hanna Tries Tt Successfully on
the Office Seekers Breast

Washington Cor. of the Chicago Record.
1t is suspected that Mr. Hanna brought
Charles Gates Dawes of Evanston TO
Washington with him TO add an esthetic
feature TO the combination and assist in
relieving him from the pressure 10 which
he is subjected by Office seekers and their
congressional friends. As everybody in
Evanston and some of the outlying Yards
of Chicago knows. Mr.. Dawes is q most
accomplished musician and performs upon
the pianOfOrte with a grace and skill
surpassed by only a few such men as
Psderewski. ROsenthal Rubinstein and
the Able List. There is no piano in
Mr. Hanna apartments. but there is IN
excellent one in the parlOrs near by
When Mr.. Dawes is invited by those who
know his skill he cheerfully complies.
and no sooner do the notes begin TO fall
from his accomplished fingers than Mr..

breathlessly as long as he continues to
play. BY this simple and polite maneu-

deal of annoyance. and is allowed TO Sc

lowed by a slight cold. and that be
the end of it: here your chill may turn
out the end of everything for you.
Moreover, the soil. when dampened by
rains, probably exhales a miasma pro-
ductive of what we call malarial fever;
in Jamaica it occasionally develops into
an appallingly ugly and brief disease
known as black vOmit.
On the other hand. if you are ra-
tiOnally cautious, and let liquor of
every kind alone, you may walk or
climb or play tennis. or ride horse
back all through the hottest parts of
the cloudless day and feel only the
better for it at night; in fact, you must
take plenty of out door exercise in or
der to be at your best. The way to
get i'll is to avoid exertion and per-
spiration, and sit at ease in the shade
absorbing cooling drinks. Such people
sometimes last two years. Those who
pursue the alternative regimen are not
surprised TO find themselves alive and
alert at 90 and upward. OF course it is
more difficult to get i'll on the higher
levels than on the lower ones: but tax
ing the island by long and large, it is
one of the healthiest places on the
globe.

New York. Jan. 2.-Senator Wolcott

national conference in the interest of

States. France, Germany and Russia

SO rarefied as that of our own west;
one can read here by moonlight, but
one cannot read fine print easily. The
remote distances of the landscape are
melted in an aerial haze instead of be-

THREE HUMAN FIENDS.
ROB AND THEN TORTURE AN
OLD MAN.
Victim Gagged. Blindfolded and
Left Tied to a Tree-More Dead
Than Alive When He Was Re
leased.

Redwood City, Cal, Jan. 2.-Three
men are confined in the San Mateo
county jail charged with one of the
most cruel and heartless acts ever COM
mitted in this section of the state. They
were captured several days ago, and
the details of their crime were brought
cut IN the preliminary examination of
The trio yesterday. The charge against
them was robbery and arson, and they
were held for trial before the superior
court.
Frank Schmute, an old man, lives in
the lonely mountainous country Is or
20 miles distant from here, known as
The Alpine district. Two weeks ago
tonight, while sitting in his house, he
was aroused by somebody knocking at
his door. Responding to the knock. he
emerged from his dwelling and was
seized by two men, who gagged and
blindfolded him and led him TO a spot
200 yards from the house, where he
was tied to a tree. After binding him
securely the footpadS returned to the
house, which they ransackeG from top
to bottom carrying off everything OF
value portable Not being satisfied
with thus stripping the old man of all
mis- personal property, they set fire to
his house. After the fire had started
the two, accompanied by a third, re-
turned to where they had bound the
old man, removed the bandage from his
eyes and invited him to enjoy the bon
fire they had kindled. Strange to say,
none OF the men wore masks or at
tempted to conceal their identity in any
way, and as a result. Schmute was
enabled to get a good description of
them. The trio left him bound to a
tree. where he was found the next
morning more dead than alive, by per-
sons passing by. and was released by
them The sheriff was quickly notified
and on Wednesday, last the WTetches
were lodged in the county Jail. Part of
the stolen goods have been recovered,
found in possession of the men when
arrested. The identification of the rob-
bers by Schmute was complete.

A Nicotine Story.

Harper's Round Table: In a book
of travels written by a Mr.. Barrow
we find this interesting bit of informa-
ton: Hottetot was seen to apply
the short end of his wooden tobacco
pipe to the mouth of a snake when
the reptile was darling out it's tongue
Death was instantaneous, the effect
almost like an electric shock; with
convulsive motion that lasted only for
a moment the snake half UNFINISHED
itself, and then became still. And up
on examination the muscles were
found to be so contracted that the
snake felt as hard as if it had been
dried in the sun.

be assisted, but thus far nothing of
consequence has been done by the i'm
perlal government to avert the effects
OF one of the greatest calamities that
has ever threatened India Compare
sons are made in the matter on the
attitude Of Great Britain and Russia
which do not rebound greatly to the
credit of this country. 1t is known
that the car has several times eX-
pressed himself as being deeply con-
cerned in the outcome of the famine
ana his interest has taken a practical
turn which will undoubtedly result in
some alienation of the widespread dis
tress in the Indian empire of Great
Britain.
APPEALS FOR HELP.
The newspapers of Moscow and st.
Petersburg continue their appeals for
help for the famine sufferers and in
other directions steps are being taken
TO aid the victims. In some English
quarters the opinion obtains that this
generous action of the Russians is only
a mask hiding some deep laid political
scheme, having for its object the rails
ing of disaffection in India against
British rule. Some of the tory papers
express their approval of declarations
that have appeared in certain Indian
papers to the effect that aid from such
a source should not be accepted. But
they do not urge the government to
extend aid TO the sufferers, and in the
meantime thousands of the natives are
dying. There is no question in the
minds of those who are not blinded by
hatred of Russia that the Russian
movement had its origin entirely in
charitable motives, and that it was in
tended as a response to the foreign aid
given at the time of the great Rus
sian famine some five years ago. The
opinion is gaining ground that the
Indian government is not able 10 cope
with the situation, and that unless i'm
perial aid is extended the famine viii
prove one Of the most calamitOuS ViSi-
tations of the kind that has ever
affected India.
NAVAL MOVEMENTS.
A Spanish naval commission, con-
sisting of the Marquis de Mosa and
several officers is at present in London
watching the progress of the building
of waTships and awaiting any orders
that Spain may give here. A member
OF the commission informs the United
Associated Presses that four torpedo
boat destroyers are now being con-
structed on the Clyde for the Spanish
government, and that two other Brit
ish built vessels of the same class are
ready TO be placed in commission.
Following the example set by the
American navy department, the Brit
ish naval authorities have decided to
use nickel steel instead of Harveyized
steel for the protection of warships
now under construction.
In response to inquiries as to the re-
ported withdrawal of the yachts
Britannia and Ailsa from the Mediter-
ranean races. Viscomte Rochehourt,
president of the Cannes Union, writes
TO the United Associated Presses that
all reports of troubles arising from
the new rules are false. All the regat-
tas this year will be sailed under the
rules agreed upon in 1892. The Britain
mia and Aiisa will certainly take part
in the racing. The owners of the other
large English yachts have not vet re-
piled to the invitation to enter their
boats. A brilliant gathering is ex-
pected.
