QUEEN LIL'S PLANS.
Her Faithful "Duke' Palmer, in Won
derful Toys, Calls at the
Whita House.

Washington, July 13.-Ex-Queen Liliuo-
Palmer, will leave Washington tomor-
row for New York, to be away from this
city until the early autumn, when she
will return, to remain probably until the
annexation question is settled The ex-
queen will stay in New York a week or
two, and after that will go to some of
the seashore resorts, where she and her
companions will remain quietly during
the hot season. Later on, before return
ing here she will visit the dukes resi-
dence, near Boston.
This afternoon the duke called at the
White house and saw Secretary Porter,
to whom he stated his desire to see the
president and pay his respects. He did
not ask for an audience for the ex-queen,
and volunteered the information that she
has nothing to TASK of the president, but
that he did not feel it would be courteous
to leave the city without making a per-
sona1 call" The duke" found the presi-
dent to be busily engaged with
Senator Hanna, First Assistant Secre-
tary of State Day, and Captain Crownin-
shield of the navy. and was told that it
would be impossible for him to be re-
ceived this afternoon. He was told, how
ever, that if he called in the morning Sec
retary Porter would endeavor to have
him pay his respects"
The dukes costume consisted of
white duck suit, with two rows of brass
buttons down the front of the coat, and
white muslin tie, held together by a
brilliant diamond.

INDIAN DRANK WHISKY.
Then Ran 1S Miles to Escape the
Things He Saw and Finally
Hid Under a Bed.

Centre Moriches, L. T., July 13.-Joseph
Ward, an Indian, filed up with frewater
today near Wading River. He thought
that a whole tribe of his enemies was
after him and started to run. He never
stopped until he reached here, a distance
of twelve miles. After a short rest
Wards enemies caught up with him and
he started off again.
He ran to Poosepatuck and back. a dis
tance of six miles. On his return he ran
into the house of Hamilton Robinson. He
sought a hiding place in Robinson's gran
ary, but his enemies found him there,
and with a series of war whoops Joe
started for the woods. Coming to the
house of Theron Ross, Joe shot through
the front door and crawled under a bed.
Deputy Sheriff Loper was sent for and
he induced the Indian to leave his hiding
place. He is known hereabouts as the bad
son of Paul Ward, chief of the Poose-
patuck Indians.

CHICAGO'S NEW JAIL.
Cost $780, 900 and is One of the Best
in the World

Chicago, July 13-Cook county's new
Jail will pass from the hands of the coun-
ty commissioners today, the transfer be-
ing attended by the simplest form of cere-
mony. President Healy will probably de-
liver a short address, setting forth the
many advantages of the new building,
some of the judges are expected to fol-
low with brief speeches. and then Jailer
Whitman will marshal the host of evil
doers under his care and march them
into their new quarters through the iron
new.
The change of abode will be hailed with
delight by every one of the 45O prisoners.
1t will be equivalent to moving from
third-rate tenement house into brown
stone mansion. From a foul-smelling,
miserably ventilated, poorly lighted and
vermin-infected structure that has been
a standing disgrace to the county for
many years, the prisoners will be sudden
ly transferred to what is acknowledged to
be the finest and most complete county
Jail in the whole country This is the
verdict passed by some of the most prom
inent experts on penal institutions after
visiting the place and inspecting the
plans.
Two years and $230,O00 have been ex-
pended in the construction of the new
Jail. Every modern idea that would tend
to make the building a model has been
incorporated in the plans of the county
architect.

BEER CENTS A GLASS.
New York Hotel Charges Colored
People q Fancy Price.

New York, July 13.-Members of the
Calumet Cycle club have been barred
from the West End hotel at One Hun
dred and Tenth street and the boulevard
by extra charge for beer. The Calu-
met club is the ace-high organization of
colored society in New York.
A few nights ago a member stood treat
for party and when the check was pre-
sented he was panied to learn that Is
cents a drink had been charged for beer.
The treater objected. He couched his OBJ
lection in strong terms and the treaties
corroborated him in the statement that q
cents was the market price for beer, all
to no purpose. Fifteen cents a mug or no
beer the walters ultimatum. Pro-
prietor Christ was finally called, but he
insisted that Is cents was his price, and
the bill was paid. Then the members of
the club left the hotel and that night
boycott was instituted against the place
which had dared charge colored folks Is
cents a glass for beer.

ATTACKED BY A WILDCAT.
Three New York Girls Have an Ad-
venture in the Catskills-Cne Hurt

Kingston, N. Y, July 13-Miss Lucy
Powell of Brooklyn, Miss Clara Gaus and
Miss Genevieve Harrison of New York
started from their hotel near Pine Hill on
Monday afternoon to explore the noun
tain side in search of mountain laurel
When they reached the slope of the
mountain the heard a rustling in the un-
derbrush, and, turning, they saw a wild
cat about to spring at them. The women
shrieked and started to run. The cat
leaped at them, telling Miss Harrison to
the ground.
Hearing the shrieks of the women
hunter, Jim Deutcher of Big Indian, who
was passing through the woods, ran to
the spot and killed the cat with an axe.
Miss Harrison had tainted. Her dress
waist had been torn in ribbons by the
claws of the cat, and her arms and body
were lacerated. Today, although suffer-
ing greatly with the shock and hysteria,
she is out of danger.

MRS. LEASES ANNOUNCEMENT

[Rose Field in Chicago Post.l
Our gallant feminine comrade, Mrs.
Lease, appears to have achieved the
distinction known colloquially as fly
ing the COOP" She announces that
the silver question is an issue of the
past" and that socialism is the hope
OF the country" In the absence of our
revered chiefs, we shall not undertake
TO discuss this question. the gravity of
which cannot be overestimated, partly
because we are not ready to forswear
allegiance to our heaven-bOrn ratio, and
partly because we have never found two
persons who exactly agree as to the
correct principles of socialism. We be-
Heve that as people we ought to be
more social and we shall look forward
eagerly to Mrs. Leases definition of the
word. Perhaps she approached the
ideal socialism in the late campaign
when she put up at the Waldorf and
gave large tips to the walters. It pains
us to criticised in the slightest degree our
noble party. but it seems to us that if,
as Popocrats and Populists, we have a
weakness ii is the continual chasing af-
ter 'an issue" The weather is so hot
that, greatly as we admire Mrs. Lease,
we have decided to sit down and let
the issue come to US if that issue is
socialism If it happens to be silver
dollar We shall at least condeScend to
meet the issue a little over half way
say, about 53 cents.

WANTS PIXIES PEAK.
DIR. Albert Lewis Files Homestead
on the Summit.

Colorado Springs, July 13.-Dr. Al
bert G. Lewis, mayor of Manitou, will
go to Washington within 80 days to lay
claim to the top of Pixies Peak. With
him will be a corps of the best known
land and title lawyers in the country,
who will attempt to prevail upon the
supreme court to acknowledge Lewis
as the rightful owner of the south half
of the southwest fourth, and the south
half of the southeast fourth of section
z, township IA, range 68 west in Ell Paso
county, Col, which land is, and COM
prises the whole summit of the famous
mountain.
The claim is based upon a filing made
by Lewis under date of February 2,
1883, when at the Pueblo land office he
filed an old soldiers declaratory state
ment upon the land in question This
filing was made Immediately after
President Cleveland's proclamation
transferring the entire mountain from
the war department to the department
or the interior. Lewis will go to Wash
ington loaded down with his aff1davits
of prominent citizens of Ell Paso county
who will testify to his having legally
taken possession of a quarter section
on the very top of the mountain, and to
his having lived upon it the required
length of time and made the necessary
improvements stipulated by the law
for the proving up of an old soldiers
homestead.
The doctor will attempt to prove that
he settled upon the land in good faith
while it was yet a part of the public
domain, and that he had esta blished his
ownership to $50 acres there before the
peak was converted by the government
into a timber reservation.
Th1S is the most astounding claim
ever made at the government land of
flee. If DR.. Lewis is successful it will
put hlm at once in possession of prop
erty worth almost fabulous sums of
money. 1t will give him control of the
most famous mountain peak in the
world. 1t would place at his mercy the
tens of thousands of tourists and sight
SeerS who make the top of Pixies Peak
the objective point of their wanderings
and who annually give up their little
quota of 50 each just to ride the nine
miles to its summit. He would have at
his mercy the capital invested in the
cog road, and could, if he so chose, levy
exorbitant taxes for franchises and
rights of every kind. The property to
which he lays claim bears the distinc-
ton of being the highest piece of
ground ever settled upon for home
stead purposes in the United States
AT its highest point it is 1417O feet
above the level of the sea. No desert
was ever more barren of vegetation
The place is wholly unfit for human
habitation, and yet DR. Lewis made his
home there winter and summer for over
three years, and now claims as his re-
ward government title to a strip of
land Cor rock-for Pixies Peak is a
solid mass of granite), a quarter of a
mile wide and a mile long, extending
directly over the summit of the Peak
The disputed point in the controversy
is as to whether President CleveIand's
proclamation actually and legally
transferred the land from the war de-
partment to the interior department.

WAS MONEY ENOUGH.
Ex-Bank President Spalding is
Caught in q Trap.

Chicago, July 13.-In the trial of ex-
Bank President Spalding for embez-
Element yesterday, Prof. Shattuck of
the University of Illinois created a SEN
sation by declaring there was enough
money in the general fund of the bank
to meet all warrants up to the date the
bonds were hypothecated by Spalding.
On the former trial Spalding contend
ed that he hypotheoated the endowment
bonds in order to secure money with
which to meet warrants issued by the
officials of the university and the same
line of defense has been adopted in the
present trial
The attorneys for the defense will at
tempt to show an entirely different
state of affairs from that shown by Pro-
fessor Shattuck's testimony.

DIVER FINDS A DIAMOND.
Ring Lost Six Years Before Recover
ed bv its Owner.

Portsmouth, o., July 13-About six years
ago, while bathing in McCulloch creek at
Camp McCulloch, Mr.. Russell Newman,
nephew of J. w. Newman, lost a valuable
diamond ring in the water.
A careful search was made for the
jewel, but it was fruitless. Monday aft
ernoon Mr.. Newman and party of
friends were bathing at the same place,
and as amusement they would dive ID the
bottom and bring up handful of gravel.
In one of his efforts Mr.. Newman brought
up a large handful, which on examination
was found to contain the ring lost *
years ago.

SUGAR TRUSTS HARVEST

The price of sugar trust stock ad-
vanced 51A cents per share in New York
yesterday. OF more direct interest to
the people is the fact that refined sugar
also recorded a considerable advance.
IF the prices of other stocks and COM
modities and the wages of workingmen
had gone up in proportion, the increase
might have been attributed to the re-
turn of prosperity of which so much
has been said and written. Since, how
ever, all other prices remained at a
comparative standstiIl the bulge in re-
fined sugar and sugar stock must be
attributed to the announcement that
the conference committee of the house
and senate on the tariff had safely
passed the sugar schedule, thus giving
assurance that there would be no furth-
er changes in that part of the bill.
When it is remembered that there are
more than 500, 100000 of sugar stock
outstanding, some idea can be gained
Of what an advance of 51a cents per
share means to the holders thereof.
When the amount of sugar consumed in
a day by 10000 900 of people is taken in
to consideration, some realization may
be had Of what even a slight advance
in the price per pound of refined sugar
means to the people who own the bulk
of the sugar stock.
1t was declared on the floor of the
senate, in justification of the sugar
schedule, that the refiners needed pro-
lection and they got it. About the same
time Secretary Sherman asserted in
most emphatic language that the peo-
pie needed protection from the rapacity
of the trusts, but every amendment to
the tariff bill introduced with this end
in view was promptly voted down.
There is clearly no legitimate reason
for an advance in the price of refined
sugar at this time. Neither crop con-
ditions, increased cost of production
nor any of the causes which commonly
enter into rise in the price of staple
commodities are apparent. 1t is
wholly arbitrary
1t is announced from the trusts head
quarters and the wholesalers and job
bers are compelled by their contracts
to respond. Your groceryman who re-
plenished his stock yesterday did so at
a higher figure than he would have paid
on Saturday.
The people stand in need of some pro-
lection from the millionaires of Amer1-
ca as well as from the paupers of Eur
ope.
