THE universal impression in Europe
appears to be that the war between
Greece and Turkey is over and moth
ing remains to he done but the arrang-
ment of the terms of peace. Very
much the same opinion seems to pre-
vail in this country. Were the time
pushed back a hundred years, it
might be possible for Greece To pro-
long the struggle until some of her
neighbOrs We're drawn into il, but mod
ern wars, at least wars at this end of
the century, require ready money for
their conduct, and the cash of Greece
is exhausted. There must be money
tc run and repair railroads, buy ord
nance stores, build bridges and pur-
chase provisions. Greece has no cred
il, and unless she hal large surplus
of stores, she must have money to buy
them. The Greek campaign, there
fore, promises to coilapse if, for no
other reason, because the exel,equer is
empty.

IT is pity that the efforts spent by
friends of criminals in shielding them
from the pqiIalty of their deeds could
not be spent earlier on prevention of
such deeds. This particular energy Of
friendship Is becoming a serious block
ing of the workings of justice, aud,
while one can not reasonably blame
the efforts, their successful results are
demanding serious attention.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND must
have been so busy defending himself
against the attacks during the late
campaign that he failed To- get time to
read the platform of the Republican
party. He evidently does not under
stand that its strongest pledges were a
restoration of protection, the mainte-
nance of the present safe standard of
our currency and the promo: ion of in
ternatiOnal bimetallism. The burden
of his New York speech the other
night was an attack upon the party for
carrying out these pledges which were
endorsed 10y much larger majority of
the voters of the nation than he ever
received in any of his three candida

An Egg Test.

A correspondent of The Dakota Farmer
asks, as there any sure way of distin-
gushing perfectly fresh eggs from taint-
ed ones, or those that have been set upon
by hens for several days? Gambling j.
quite a sure method, but if there il a
way should like to know it," The fol-
lowing reply is given: ITO the expert
enced eye, the roughish, or granulated,
surface of the perfectly fresh egg distin-
guishes it at once from the more shiny
or polished surface of the egg that has
been under the hen day or two. We
can pick out every fresh egg among a
nestful of those that have been sat on,
even in the dark. The secret is very
simple. Just scratch over the surface
with the finger nail; if it CRATES, the egg
is fresh, but if the nail slides smoothly
the egg is old. \ little practice makes
this sure test

About one o'clock Norman went to

manded admission. She blocked

admit him. She refused, and Norman
procured razor, went up stairs and
cut the throat of Peter X. Hillstead,

and tried to get into Mrs. Hillstead's
room again, but she had blocked the
door. He then proceeded to carve the
13-months-old son, Thomas, after which
he cut the Threats of Adolph and Oscar,

A PARIS HOLOCAUST.
Fire in a Crowded Bazaar Causes an
Awful Loss Of Life.
More Than 100 People Perish, Most Of
Them WOmen-Frlghtful Panic Fol-
lowed the Alarm OF Fire-Many
Vet Missing.

PARIS, May Sire and resulting
panic in a crowded charitable bazaar in
the Rue Jean Goujon at 4:3O o'clock
yesterday afternoon caused no fewer
than 100 deaths and the more or less
serious injury of 200 persons. Many
leaders in Partisan society are num-
bered among the dead or wounded.
Most of the victims are women. At
midnight 100 corpses had been taken
to the Palais de pIndustrie, and it is
supposed that 100 more are still buried
in the ruins. The injured are known
to number at least $780,
The building in which the fire broke
out was a temporary structure of
wood. The flames were first discov-
cred above the stall presided over by
the Duchess d'Uzes, and while the
place was densely crowded. The bazar
is an annual function, presided over by
Partisan society women. A terrible
panic and crush followed the alarm of
fire. There was wild rush for the
exits, and the weaker persons were
borne down and trampled upon. The
inflammable nature of the building
and contents caused the flames to
spread with great rapidity, and in q
very short time the bazaar was mass
of flames.
Heartrending cries of fear arose on
all sides, soon followed by shrielSs Of
agony, as the flames swept onward be-
hind the crowd struggling for the
doors. Before the firemen could ar
rive, the roof of the bazaar crushed in,
burying numbers of those who had
been unable to make their egress from
the building.
In spite of the efforts of the firemen,
some time elapsed before the charred
bodies could be pulled from the smok-
ing and burning mass of debris cover
ing the spot which, but short time
before, had been the scene of so much
gayety. The building was erected in
the iimsiest manner, the nudity of the
scaffolding on the inside being con-
cealed by tapestry hangings of the
most inflammable description. More
over, there was only one exit. The
dead were piled in heaps, and especially
near the exit, where the charred re-
mains were five feet deep. In some
cases only the trunks remained, with
no vestige of clothing.

DIR. GOodmansOn, of Fender, Neb., Given a
Life Sentence for an Awful Crime.
PoNCA, Neb., May 5.-Dr. Joseph
Sidney Goodmanson was found guilty
of murder in the first degree yesterday
afternoon, and his punishment fixed at
Imprisonment for life. Goodmanson
was charged with the murder of his
wife by administering poison last sum
mer in his Office at Fender. Goodman
sbn, who is dentist, came to Nebras-
ka" from" Chicago in 1898. He had
formerly practiced dentistry at lis
kilwa, ILL.,, where he won the heart Of
Laura Toder, daughter of one of
the most prominent families of the
county, and who was possessed of
a considerable sum of money in her
own name. Last August she died very
suddenly in his Office, and the body
was hastily sent to Tiskilwa for inter-
ment. There it was exhumed and a
post-mortem was held, the stomach be-
ing sent to Chicago medical college
for chemical analysis. 1t resulted in
Goodmanson's arrest and conviction.
1t is alleged that Goodmanson intend
ed, after he had poisoned his wife, to
marry Kansas City girl, whose name
it has been impossible to learn, al
though detectives have worked on that
case for months.
