A RICH COOK.
Her English Claim is Recognized.
She's An Heiress Now.


Des Moines, Dec. 11.-Victoria May
Jennings Ballard, cook in a boarding
house at 701 Sixth Avenue, tonight
learned that her claim to large es-
tate in England has been established
without question, and she will leave
for Liverpool next week. She is %
years old, and her story, as told by
her attorneys and papers, is romantic.
She was the only daughter of a young
err son, who at the time of her birth
% years ago, had no apparent pros
pect of coming into any property. She
was left in charge of maid after her
fathers death, who brought her to
America, with the half consent of her
mother. The latter lost track of her
for long time. Over year ago her
mother died, after having come into
property valued at $4,000 and the
girl here was left sole heir Detec-
tives were set at work ON the case,
and finally located her several months
ago in Detroit. The investigation Of
her claims was taken up, and mean
time she came here, having little ex-
pectatiOn that anything would come of
it. Today she was notified by attor-
neys who have been looking after the
case that everything was settled, and
that she would-come into the property
as soon as she could comply with le-
gal formalities. She is petite, pref
ty, and before she was reduced to
poverty by the misfortunes of the wo-
man who brought her to America,
had been given q fair education.

KNOCKOUT FOR STRIKERS.
cleveland Judge Holds Them
Morally Responsible for
Riot Violence.

Cleveland, o., May S.-A knockout blow
to the strikers of the Consolidated Steel
company was delivered by Judge Sage of
the United States circuit court this morn
ing. He allowed the temporary injunc-
ton against them to stand at the conclu
sion of an exhaustive opinion. Judge Sage
maintained that the proof was conclu-
sive that violence had been done the men
in the employ of the company. He fur
Their held that if the strikers were not
actu3Uy engaged in violent acts they were
at least the ruling spirits of them.
Furthermore he held that the rod mill
workers union was the fountainhead of
the trouble and that it was clear that the
strikers had interfered with the lawful
right of the company. The judge called
attention to the fact that since the tens
porary injunction was granted the COM
pany had not been molested During the
reading of the opinion the courtroom was
crowded with attorneys, manufactured
and strikers

School Children Buy Water,

Chicago, ILL.,, May 7.-Impelled by the
pangs Of thirst, the children of the Haw-
thorne school, Seminary avenue and
School street, offered money to the store
keepers of the vicinity for water yes
terday afternoon. The water they re-
ceived in exchange for their pennies is
the same water that the board of educa-
ton, in it's far-seeing wisdom and in its
intense desire to keep it's own skirts clear
from the chance of disease spreading, has
shut off from the school building itself.
Yesterday was the first hot day of the
season and the sufferings Of the children,
as evidenced by their means to secure re-
lief, form a gloomy augury for the sum-
mer term.

Senate Committee Looking Into the OPP
Grafton of the Law.

Washington. D. c., May S.-The COM
mittee of civil service of the Senate to-
day resumed the investigation of the
operation of the law which was under
taken some time ago. Senators Pritch-
ard of North Carolina and Chiffon of
Texas and President Proctor and George
r. Wales of the civil-service committee
conducted the proceedings. Several let
ters from government officials giving
their opinions of the law were read
William W. Hill, former assistant SUI
perintendent of the free mail delivery,
charged that there has been collision be-
tween the postottice department and the
civil-service committee to violate the law
by the employment in 1894 and 1895 of
fifty-nine spies whose employment was
not authorized by law. Two of the in
spectors, termed spies, Mr.. Hill asserted,
were brothers of Mr.. Machen, superin
tendent Of the free delivery service.

for the Ohio Senator.
Washington, D. c., May THE first
victim scored by the Onrush of the army
of officeseekers is no less person than
Mark Hanna himself, and the junior
senator from Ohio, after standing the
strain of a long political campaign, has
broken down under the rush.
While at the office Of the national com
mittee in the Glover building yesterday
he was seized with vertigo which pros
trated him for a short time and greatly
alarmed the people about the rooms. II
was not a serious attack, being in every
respect like one with which he was Wis
tied in Cleveland during the early
days of the campaign last summer
The usual restoratives were applied, and
Mr.. Hanna's iron will at once asserted
itself, so that in spite of the protests of
friends and physicians he insisted upon
being driven to the Senate chamber to
cast his vote in favor Of the arbitration
treaty, following cut the policy an
nOunced by President Mckinley in his
inaugural address.
When this duty was accomplished Sen
ator Hanna returned to the hotel, but did
not Immediately deny himself to visitors
Today he was obliged to keep to his room
until late in the afternoon, when he got
out doors for a little while, but an
nounced to his close friends that he had
determined to go back to Cleveland
When he arrives at his home he expects
to be able to shut himself up entirely and
take a needed rest for a week or so.

Getting Rid Of Weeds.

It is poor gardening to cut off a weed
just below the level of the ground with
rake or hoe, for the root remains alive,
gains strength, and nearly always sends
up additional shoots. The best time for
wedding is very early in the morning.
Let the weeds lie exposed TO the sun all
day and they will be thoroughly killed.
Wedding in a small garden is done most
effectually with the patent finger spade
a little implement very popular with So
ciety women who tend the garden for
almost like glove and protects the finger
nail. For wedding and transplanting it
has no equal. With the invention Of the

Standard of the World.

For nearly two score of years the Win
chester has been the standard rifle of the
world. 1t is found in all lands and it is
always very highly thought of on account
of it's accuracy, strength and durability.
There are over two million Winchester
guns in use to-day, but the makers have
yet to learn of any dissatisfaction with
them. Such a recommendation as this
should convince everybody of the excep-
tionally high quality of Winchester guns.
Winchester ammunition is of as exactly
as high a standard and always gives en-
tire satisfaction. When used in Win
chester guns the results obtained cannot
be equalled. Send to the Winchester Re

ATTEMPTED BRIBERY.
Go-betWeen Mistakes Committee
Clerk for a Member OF the

bride a committee clerk, mistaken for a

and dairying, stated to representatives of
the press that he had been mistaken for
Representative Flanagan by a lobbyist
for the Humphrey bills and offered $1,000
to vote for them
The Humphrey bills extend the fran
chises of all street railways in Illinois
fifty years and give the control of exist
ing roads and new franchises to specially
appointed commissions instead of to the
boards of aldermen of the various cities.
The bills have been bitterly opposed, par
ticularly by the civic reform organizations
in Chicago.

ON FIRE AT SEA.
Sixteen Passengers on the Steamer
Leona Meet Death-Escape
was Cut Off.

New York, May 9.-The Mallory line
steamer Leona, which left her pier on
Saturday bound for Galveston, took fire
at sea, put back. and arrived in port to-
night with sixteen corpses on board.
The dead were thirteen steerage pas
sengers and three members Of the crew
who succumbed to a terrible fire which
occurred off the Delaware cape at an
early hour this morning. The horror of
the story can hardly be told tonight.
Those who were dead were penned be-
low decks and although frantic attempts
were made by the officers of the vessel
to save them, the fire had gained such
Roadway before the danger was diScov
cred that all escape was cut off.
The dead are, steerage passengers:
r. Catine, Sophia Schwartz,
Mrs. @. Guzza, Maria Warner,
Miss GuZza, Two unknown chill
Hanna SOlomanSOn, dren,
Mrs. Valcicks, Two unidentified.
The crew:
Alfred Hardy, waiter, Al years DID, New
York
Alfred Lang, waiter. 10 years old, New
York.
H. Hartman, butcher, 81 years old, New
York.
1t is not certain how the fire origi-
mated, but when it was discovered it
burst forth with such Jury that 1t was
impossible to reach the storage. Even
then the steerage passengers appeared
unmindful of their danger, else the
smoke and the flames had not reached
them. The saloon passengers were
aroused in such a manner as to occasion
little alarm. When it became apparent
that the fire had cut off the steerage the
captain and his men poured great Quanti-
ties of water down the ventilatOr, and
the most frantic efforts were mace for
the escape of those penned up. In this
way eight of the Storage passengers
made their escape.
Capt Wilder ordered signal lights of
distress burned, and in a few minutes
there flashed up in the darkness far to
the north an answer signal. 1t came
from the City of Augusta, of the Savan
nah line, which came alongside about
daybreak.
In the meanwhile the deck forward of
the pilot house was burned away, leav-
ing iron crOss-beams bare and red hot.
The iron plating on the ships side glowed
red hot.
The passengers were all transferred to
the City of Augusta in safety, and the
work of fighting the fire was continued.
About clock in the morning the flames
were under control and the steamer out, of
danger. The passengers were sent back
to the Leona, and the City of Augusta
continued on her way to Savannah The
Ieona put about and returned to port I'M
der her own steam.
