SOME of the Northern newspapers
are now discussing the subject Of the
typical American-the word American,
of course, to them, meaning only the
people of the United States. From the
nature of the case, in that view, there
can be no such thing as typical
American, for the people of the
two sections of this country are as diff
ferent from each other as are those OF
England and Greece, or Russia and
Spain. There is typical Yankee and
a typical Southerner, easily recognized
and described. but the typical Ameri-
can is an unknown quality.

SUIT AGAINST MIR. BARBOUR.

SUIT AGAINST MIR. BARBOUR.
A New York newspaper states that
]. R. McMurren is suing Edwin Bar.
bour, formerly of Virginia, a stock
broker, for $50, 900 profits from specu.
lation in Bell Telephone stock, made
on contract under the terms of which
Barbour was to purchase 1000 shares
and to give two thirds of the profits 10
McMurren. According to the published
statement McMurren gave Barbour an
advs1c copy of recent decision of the
United States Eapreme Court in An i'm.
portant patent case affecting the value
of the stock, alleging. that "ex.Con.
gresham Phil Thompson, of Kentucky,
had clerk in the Supreme Court and
could get anything be wanted"
As to the facts in the case James w.
Ridgway, head of a well-known law
firm and counsel for Mr.. Barbour, ad.
mits that his client has been sued for
ful6llment OF such q contract as that
named.
Concerning the allegation that Nc.
Murren obtained his information from
ex-Congressman Thompson or Su
preme Court clerk, the attorney will
say nothing. 1t is learned, however,
that Mr.. Barbour states that he never
accepted McMurren's advice to buy
1000 shares of the Bell Telephone and
never made the purchase. Il is also
learned that the answer contains no re.
Election on any clerk of the Supreme
Court, hut states that under the con-
tract McMurren agreed to deliver the
decision of the court in advance. The
answer has not been filed in court.
Mr.. Barbour formerly had an Office
at No. Vail street, but moved nearly
year ago. His present location is
not known. His attorney said yester-
day that he did not know where Mr..
Barbour was snd that he was anxious
to find him. Mr.. Barbour's home adj
dress is given in the city directory So
No. 122 west Ninety-irst street. At
the apartment house there the janitor
said that Mr.. Barbour had moved, Civ
ing No. SAG west One Hundred and
Forty.6fth street as his address. The
latter number indicates an unoccupied
lot in Harlem. Robert l.. Stanton,
who was mentioned in the publication
as McMurren's attorney, says he knows
nothing of the suit.
In Wall street the alleged assertion
of McMurren that he was able to de.
liver in advance decision of the Sn-
prepe Court is not accepted seriously.
Mr.. Barbour's neglect 20 avail himself
Of such information is regarded as an
evidence of his shrewdness. Such in
formation is peddled about like sus-
penders and collar buttons in advance
of every decision affecting the stock
market. The chances that the infor.
nation will prove to be correct are
about even. In any event the tipster
cannot lose anything.

the wedding was set for the 23d of this
month. He called on his affianced on

the Turkish government will now drop

CeLoRED WOMAN MURDERED.
r3,ord Om;fb oo1orad q Washing

Edward Smith, colore0, Wasnlng-
ton ragpicker, was arrested yesterday
on his own confession, charged with
killing Edmonia Jackson, wife of James
Jackson, also colored. The parties
lived in a frame tenement house In
what is known as Madison avenue. be-
tween First and Second and T streets
northwest, Washington. Two other
families of colored people occupy rooms
in the house. Smiths wife is dead,
and for some time Jackson has been
Jealous of him, as he and the Jackson
woman were said to be intimate. Some
months ago a fight occurred between
the two men on account of the woman
and they were arrested. They brought
counter charges of assault and both were
sent to the work house. Smiths term
expired first, and he returned to the
house and resumed his relations with
the woman. On Monday the latter went
to the work house to see her husband,
and when Smith heard OF this he up
braided the woman and finally killed
her with Ratchet. Her dead body
lay for four days and four nights in the
soualid little room where she had been
murdered, and Notwithstanding the fact
that other families live in the same
house, the woman had scarcely been
missed. On each of those nights, Smith
lived in the same room and slept in the
same bad with the corpse, and rday,
while drunk, told policeman what
he had had done. A feature of the al
fair is the fact that the house was on
fire last Tuesday, but the blaze was ex.
tinguised by a neigbbor. The police
now believe that Smith set fire to the
house in order to burn it and concesl
the murder. They have secured evil
dence which will tend to prove it.
