MURDERER BUTLER
Makes Confession--No One Believes
Him

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-Mur-
derer Frank Butler. the prisoner of many
aliases, volunteered a queer confession
today by declaring and endeavoring to
prove that ten years ago he killed fell
low soldier at Walla Walla. Wash.
Heretofore Butler has stoutly denied
all the capital crimes charged to him; (;
now he is anxious to show that he is a
murderer and that his crime was COM
mitted on the soil of the United States.
When 1t is considered that within few
days Butler is to sail for her nj jesty 5
colonies, where the justice meted out to
murderers is stern and swift, it is not
difficult to understand why he should
confess a crime in the United States,
even If he had not committed it.
The confession was made to Chron-
icle reporter and was related by Butler
with an earnestness that might have
been convincing in the absence of infor-
nation tending to disprove his State

dence in the story.

TWO BALLOTS

FRANKFORT, KY, March 24-The
several forces in Kentucky's senatorial
struggle are lined UP like armies, ready
to battle. Two ballots taken were bSt

know which side will make the first
real attack
Tonight it is whispered that the anti
Hunter Republicans are ready to act,
and are urging the Democrats who are
in the Bradley coalition scheme to make
the dash intended on tomorrow.
Hunter, with six bolting Republicans,
has secured three Democratic votes.
and is putting forth every effort to Sc
cure the two additional votes necessary
to his election.
The anti-Hunter coalition propose
to hurry up matters to prevent his Sc

Physiology of BIushing.
Chicago Times-Herald.


Blushing is not an art; neither is 1t an
absolute sign of i'll breeding, as some I'M
kind folk maintain. The fact is il is lust
as natural for some people to blush on one
occasion as it is for others to turn pale on
another. The same laws of nature which
govern the one rule govern the other. The
meet the arteries and veins in the body
form, particularly over the cheeks, a net
work SO fine that it is necessary to employ
microscope to distinguish them Ordinar-
lily the blood passes through these vessels
in normal volume, leaving only the natural
complexion. But when some sudden emo
ton takes possession of the heart its action
increases, and an electric thrill instantly
leaps to the cheek. The thrill is nothing
more than the rush of blood through the in
visible capillaries; the color is nothing more
than the blood just beneath the delicate
surface of the skin. The causes that bring
about this condition in the circulating sys-
tenn are called mental stimuli" They con-
sist of joy, anger shame and many other
emotions. Sudden horror, remorse or fear
on the contrary. Influences the nerves
which control the blood vessels, and the face
becomes white. Blushing and pallor result
from the sudden action of the mind on the
nervous system. SO If the mind be fore
warned and prepared for emotions, both
habits can at least be partially overcome
But when the nervous system is highly
strung it would be lifelong If not a futile
task to endeaVor to effect a perfect cure
IT is the sensitive, nervous woman who
bushes easily while the girl stolid by ma
ture or who by education has her nerves
under perfect control, seldom bushes.

ELLEN TERRY'S PUPIL.
She is Showing AN Especial Interest
in an American Girl.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
Although Ellen Terry has been reported
as adverse to giving Instructions to any
young aSpirant for the glory OF the stage,
yet there comes interesting report of the
favor with which she has received an
American girl to whom she is imparting
of her rich treasure Of dramatic knowledge.
The story is romantic one: The young
woman is the daughter of business man OF
New York OF some prominence and the
niece of the president of one of our leading
insurance companies. A brother of hers
has taken high honors in college field
sports holding the championship in certain
lines, while her cousin is one of the ia
nous amateur tennis players of the United
States. Another cousin was not long ago
a candidate for Governor of Vermont.
This young woman had a very beautiful
contralto voice and had been persuaded to
cultivate it with view to going upon the
operate stage; her teachers predicted sue
cesses for her equal TO those obtained by
Annie Louise Cary and Adelaide Phillips.
She was, however, made grievously i'll by
an attack of the grip, and when she re-
covered found she had lost her singing
voice. although her speaking voice had be-
come marveousy sympathetic, pure and
pleasing to listen TO. Her ambition for the
operate stage having thus been thwarted,
she was almost persuaded to study for the
dramatic stage, but had not fully deter
mined to do SO when an instance occurred
which decided her career.
When Ellen Terry was last in this city.
playing with Henry Irving, this young
woman went to hear and see her. She was
near the stage. There was a personal re-
semblance to Ellen Terry, so much so that
many of the audience noticed this young
woman, wondering whether she was not
Miss Terry's daughter.
Miss Terry herself took heed of her from
the stage and perceived how intensely she
was watching the progress of the play, and
before the evening performance was over
Miss Terry had communicated with some
one in the audience whom she knew, stat
ing that the young woman in the box had
interested her greatly and that she was
sure she was possessed with dramatic am
bition
Inquiry speedily proved this to be true,
and Miss Terry was assured that her sur
mise was correct. In a very romantic way
Miss Terry made the acquaintance of the
Young woman, learned from her her am
billions and promised that if this young
woman would go to Great Britain and
place herself under Miss Terry's friendly
Instructions she would do her best to pre-
pare her for the stage
For the past four or five months the
relation of friend and dramatic instructor
and pupil has been maintatnep. and now
word has Just been received tFaL Miss Ter
nv is satisfied that the youn6 0man's am
bition had good foundation and that, if
she determines to go upon the stage, she
will do honor to her instructors.
That determination has not been made,
although it will publicly be made very
soon, and it is for this reason that the
name Of the young woman Is not made
Dublfc at this time.

DON'T LIKE THE COUNTRY

Destitute Women Would Rather starye In
Cities.
House servants have such a dislike to
the country that it is almost impossible
to keep them there. This has long been
acknowledged, but it is rather q sur
prise to the State Charities Aid associa-
ton that even the women who have
been reduced to utter restitution will
not remain in the country, even for the
sake of q home. 5a.
The association has been trying to
assist widows, deserted women. and
young girls, who are friendless, by
finding homes for them in families. In
all cases where there arc babies it is
difficult to find places for the women in
the city, and the association, therefore,
sends them to the country. ..-
In town, housekeepers will not be
bothered with servants with babies,
but country families cannot afford to
be SO fastidious. They are glad to get
servants, anyhow, and the baby is
made welcome with the housemaid or
maid-of-all-work perforce. 49,.
The association has done much for
the unfortunate women who find them
selves thrown on the world without q
natural protector, with a helpless in
FAINT in their care. Some of the women
are taken to the workhouse for un-
skilled labor, at Al Prospect place, and
kept there, with their babies, until it is
found that the mothers can get a living
for themselves.
Generally it is found that they can
not do anything but plain laboring,
and the only chance for them is in do
nestle service. 1t is desirable that the
babies shall have fresh air, and that
the mothers shall retain their offspring.
So every effort is made to find country
homes for the unfortunates.
In some instances the arrangement is
satisfactory on both sides. Often, how
eyer. the woman and her babe come
back to the city in the course of a week
or two. There is fascination about
town life to those that have never had
any enjoyment out of it which is re.
markable.
These poor women, who have known
all kinds of misery in the city, hurry
back to it as soon as possible, when
there is nothing to look forward tc
when they get there. Officers of the
association have become so used to this
kind of human nature that they think
nothing of it.-New York Press.
