M'DONALD Will RETURN.
The Accused Fort Scott Attorney to
Return Tuesday.

Leavenworth, Jan. 11.-Judge ]. F.
Mcdonald of Fort Scott, charged by
frauding his clients and absconding
from the city, is in Leavenworth He is
at the home of J. w. Yarroll where he
has been since December 20 in cCnnec-
ton with the checking up of the books
relating to the Frontnac case. Only
last evening he returned from Topeka
where he has been at the capitol and
secured communication of sentence for
a convict named Edwards. He spent
last Christmas with his family. A cor
respondent called at the residence and
found the judge much Frustrated as a
result of the charges published He
denied them one and all, and entered
into a lengthy explanation of his own
and Hills connection with the Fonte-
nae suits.
THE facts are these" said the Judge.
''In December, 1888, made a contract
with the widows and other dependents
of those killed in the mine disaster at
Frontenac. They employed me as their
attorney, the clients to pay all expen-
ses incurred, to give half of the judg
ments after the payment of costs, the
balance to be paid them. In Decena-
Der, 1890, Hill, thinking 1 had q. bonan-
"a, approached me to assist in the trial
of these suits, and 1 agreed to take
him in, providing he paid one-half of
all costs already incurred and put up
$500 additional as a bonus.
Later, 1 signed an agreement to take
Judge McCleverty into the cases in
place of Danford, with the provision
that he should only be paid in suits
which judgment were rendered, but in
the event that a compromise was eff
fected he should receive no part of the
attorney'sb fees.
THE judge participated in the trial
of but one case, which was appealed to
the Supreme court and being there
affirmed. The other cases were settled
on a compromise basis. Ipaid Judge
McCleverty $500 for which I hold his
receipt.
II will return to Fort Scott, and ex-
pect to be there next Tuesday, SO that

think of quoting poetry about trained
nurse. She has no romance about her.
She is too scientific and, it might be
added, too expensive.
Of course there are the charity nurses
who dispense their benefactions in the
city Sums. These the fiction writer
sometimes surrounds with a romantic

The coming of the trained nurse has
displaced also a somewhat picturesque
character. With her arrival the ''oId

The change is most grateful one.
Sarah Camp will always live in fiction,
but we can well spare her from the
modern sickroom.
We all know the old nurse, her pecu-

not have been quite SO frowsy as Mrs.
Camp, her weakness for ''just putting
the bottle to her lips when she was so

She was generally some whimsical,
fat and untidt widow who had seen so
or more hard winters and who had a
wealth of uncheering reminiscence to
tell about them. Invariably she had
taken to nursing because ''she had had
so much sickness in her own family that
she got used to it, - and because she had
no other way of earning living. That
good nursing might require special apti-
tude or knowledge no one formerly
thought of declaring. Was she not a
''motherly old SOUL, who was willing
to work cheaply and put up with all

asville.
Mr.. Mark Hanna's winter home amid
the pine groves of Thomasville, Ca, is
likely to be something of political
center during the next two months.
Many northern capitalists have built
elegant and pretentious winter resi-
dences there, in which they live not
more than three months of the year,
and the shady streets are lined with fine
structures, many of them more preten-
tious than that of Mr.. Hanna.
Nearly all of the members of Mr..
Hanna's large family spend at least part
of the winter in this quiet and health
full Georgia retreat. J. Wyman Jones
of Englewood, N. j., brother-in-law
of Mr.. Hanna, was the first to build a
home there. About ten years ago he
bought large tract Of land around
Thomasville and built handsome win
ter residence. Then he proceeded to lay
out his gros 1ds in the form of a wood
land park, with charming drives wind
ing through groves of magnolia, pine
and beech trees. On a lofty elevation
overlooking the park he built a mansion
in which to entertain his friends, but

IN THE NAME HEAVEN.
Two Factions of Christians Fall Out
and Shed Blood.

New York, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Constantinople says:
Official adViceS received here from
Jerusalem show that there has been
further trouble among the worshippers
at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher
It appears that the Roman Catholics
were opposed to members of the Ortho-
dox Greek church entering the church
by a certain door on the eve of January
6, the day observed by the orthodox
church as Christmas.
The latter insisted upon their right
to enter and the result was that the
two factions became involved in a SER
ious fight, which did not end until the
Turkish authorities interviewed to re-
store order. Some of the cOmbatantS
were badly injured, but it is not known
whether ANYBODY was killed.

TREATY DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
bill VIII Probably Go
Over TIL Next Week.

Washington. March 2i.-The senate will
devote the major part of the week to the
consideration OF the Anglo-American
treaty. II the appropriation bills which
have passed the house AS they were
agreed upon In the session should be re-
ported to the senate they probably Will
receive prompt attention. There Is a
possibility that these bills may not be
taken up Immediately In committee. ow-
ing to the absence of some committee
members. 1t is also possible that when
reported they may be somewhat changed,
or IL not changed In committee, that they
win be In the senate. Many senators
have propositions which they are anx-
ious to see enacted into laws and they are
not disposed to forego this chance OF get
ting them through. The democratic lead
ers may consider It wise party policy to
hold the appropriation bills up until the
republican policy of the senate with ref
ence to the tariff is developed
Senator Allison will exert himself to
secure speedy consideration of the bills.
There is little prospect of committee work
until the committee vacancies are filled.
The two sides of the chamber are holding
out against each other, each contcndlng
for concessions which the other refuse to
make. The democrats still insist on be-
ing allowed TO fill all the places vacated
by the retirement of democratic senators,
while the republicans contend that the
populists should be merged with the DEM
ocrats Upon the adjustment CT this diff
ference the whole matter depends. Some
way out of the difficulty ultimately will
be found, but the opening has not yet
presented itself

SECRET SOCIETY RESERVE FUND.
New Organizations Corresponding x
on the Subject.


Chicago March 21.-The fact has devel-
oped that confidential correspondence has
been and is still i'm progress between the
national officers of the various fraternal
beneficial associations, including the Roy
al Arcanum, National Union, Royal
League and the Maccabees. looking to
united action at the next meeting of the
National Fraternal Congress- in favor Of
the adoption by the societies of q reserve
fund.- and the Increase of regular assess
ments or the calling of special assess
ments for that purpose. The step Will be
a radical departure, inasmuch as opposi-
ton to the reserve-fund plan has hitherto
been the backbone and main argument Of
the fraternal organizations, on the
ground that no more money should be
called for than is actually needed from
month to month; and that, further the
reserve-fund plan means the creation, tn
vestment and care of a large fund, adds
to the number of officers, materially in
creases the salaries and other expendt-
lures and to all intents and purposes,
puts the fraternal society on the same
plane as its arch-enemy, the old-line com
pany.
The supporters of the plan, however -
and they include supreme officers of a
large number of organizations that have
hitherto been bitterly opposed to it-tahe
the ground that the steady increase IN
deaths, and consequently in assessments
must inevitably lead to a disintegration
of the fraternal society, and that it is alb
solutely necessary, for the protection OF
the older members, to create a reserve
fund. in order to meet such a demand un-

about by an epidemic or similar catastro-

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-
LONG AND WEARY TARIFF DE-
BATE IN THE HOUSE.
Senate VIII Devote Several Days to
Discussion of AnElo-American
Treaty.

washington. March 21.-The program OF
the tariff debate. which opens in the
Ecuse tomorrow, is simple but arduous
The house will sit from 10 O'Clock in the
morning until ii p. m, with recess from
I'LL each day. The general debate viii
close Thursday night. Beginning Friday
the bill Will be read for amendment un-
DER the nve-minute rule until o'clock
the following Wednesday, when the bill
ana pending amendments win be voted
upon. The committee on ways and
means. by the terms of the special order
under which the house Will operate, will
nave the right of way In the matter OF
amendments. and such amendments can
at any time supersede pending amend
mcnts of individual members, a provision
made to give the committee the fullest
power to perfect the bill
The debate win be opened by Mr.. Ding
ley, the chairman of the ways and means
committee, for the majority. Either Mr..
Bailey OF Texas. the selected leader of
the minority, or Mr.. McMiIin OF Tennes-
see will reply. Mr.. Bailey has rendered,
to Mr.. McMilin this privilege In defer
ence to his long service on the ways and
means committee, but 1t is not yet de-
cided whether the latter will avail himself
of the proffer The night sassions of the
house during the general debate viii be
given up almost entirely to set speeches
by new members. who desire 10 get their
views In the Congressional Record for the
benefit of their constituents. When the
Wilson bill was under discussion the time
at the night sessions was not consumed,
and there Is likely to he a repetition of
lack of sponlsers on this occasion, as
members under the order are given leave
to print, ana many of them win take ad-
vantage of this opportunity without taxi
ing the floor.
