Mr.. Philip Burne-Jones' THE Vampire"
The canva represents a woman kneel-
ing on a bed flooded by moonlight, and
gloating over a man who is lying prone
and unconscious, the red mark on his
bare chest telling the tale of the vam-
pire's deadly caress. The expression on
the woman's pale face, her dark eyes
half closed in satisfaction, the beauti-
full lines of her supple form in her
white ~draperies, are remarkable, and
many critics pronounce the work the
best that Mr.. Burne-Jones has done.

THE LUETGERT MYSTERY.
A Most Important Discovery-The Prose-

cutiOn Rests Its Case.
CHICAGO, May 2s.-Prof. de la Fon-
tame, the expert chemist, has made a
discovery in his Investigations into the
contents of the vat in the Luetgert
sausage factory, which is considered
by the prosecution to be of u nature
most damaging to the defense. In the
sediment not only has he found traces
of teeth, but also a large number of
flakes of a composition only found in
the human tooth. This, together with
the broken false tooth found by the
police near the vat is looked upon by
the prosecution as the strongest kind
of evidence to establish the corpus
deficit, which the defense has main
tanned was wanting in the states case.
The state rested its case yesterday
with the evidence of Prof. de la Fon-
tame, and Dentist Klein. No effort
will be made to call any other wit
nesses, except in rcbuttal, and then only
in case an effort is made by the defense
to go into expert testimony.

THE FLOOD IN THE RIO GRANDE.
The Situation at Ell Paso and Juarez, Mex,
Worse Than Ever.

Ell PAso, Tex, May 27.-The Rio
Grande rose at least two inches last
night, and the outlook to-day is more
ominous than ever. The river washed
away a large portion of the bank pro-
tecting the headgate of the big irriga-
ton canal last night, and it seems i'm
possible to prevent it going out alto
gether and allowing the water to rush
through the Santa Fe yards and bust
ness sections of the city. All residence
houses in the neighborhood have been
vacated, and the families have gone
to the high foothills in the vicinity.
The big levce protecting the south
ern portion of the city is being
threatened and it is feared a wind
storm, so common at this season of the
year, may come up and force the water
over it. The situation in Juarez, Mex,
opposite this city, is even more pre-
cariOus.

-oace Negotiations Take q Turn more
Favorable to Greece.
LONDON, May 2S.-The correspond
ent of the Times at Athens says:
The dispatches which the government
has received from representatives OF
Greece abroad, all indicate hat the
peace negotiations have taken a turn
more favorable to Greece. Turkeys
proposal to occupy Thessaly no longer
receives any consideration, owing to
England's attitude, while the proposal
to abolish the capitulations in the case
of Greek subjects in Turkey is rejected
and the suggested extradition treaty is
apparently set aside
The powers have fixed &c, 900, 900 as
the highest limit of indemnity, and will
allow such a strategic alteration OF
the frontier as will not involve the
subsection of any inhabited district to
Turkish rule. Germany's demand for
N international control of Greek
finances has not been favorably re-
ceived, as the government hopes to
raise a fund on the guarantee of En-
gland, France and Russia, with inter
est to pay the indemnity, conceding
certain revenues, but not accepting the
principal of foreign control.

The Turkish foreign minister has
spoken on the subject in a conciliatory
tone to the Baron Di Calico, the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, asking only a
little delay in order that public ex-
element may subside.
On the other hand the whole official
and religious world, including the
Sheik-Ul-Islam denounces the idea of
restoration, while every military
measure points to retention. Even
those who had supposed that the sui
tai was manufacturing the excitement
in order to exact better terms from the

gone to far and lost control of the sit
