Immigrants Must Read.

The Lodge immigration bill which
passed the senate last Friday by aVote
of 81 to 10 is far the most stringent
measure of the kind that has ever been
approved by either house of congress.
It was amended so as not to apply to
persons coming to this country from
Cuba during the present war in that
island. With this exception all imml-
grants over 16 years of age on their
arrival at our ports must be examined
and If they are not able to read aud
write English or thtir mother tongue
will be expelled from the country
They will be required to read and
write five lines from the constitution
of the United States, or leave. 1t Is
believed that this bill will become a
law practically as it passed the senate

LIED ON HIS DEATHBED.
Sensational Confession Made by a
Cigarette Fiend.

BANCROFT. Mich. Sept Harry f.
Leadley. of Rochester, N. Y. died here
yesterday. Before his demise he stated
that he had been guilty of killing a Miss
Emerson in Rochester and of embeZzle-
ment from a Rochester fire insurance firm.
A correspondent in Rochester to-day inter-
viewed Charles T. Leadley father of de-
ceased. He acknowledged that the man was
his son. but said nothing about the crimes
mentioned.
Later-The confession of Harry F. Lead
ley. the bicyclist, who died here yesterday,
has been shown to be a pure fabrication
Leadley was a cigarette tiend, and his
strange statements before his death were
doubtless the rawlings of a mind diseased
from that habit. The body of the young
man will be buried here.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 7.-Leadly
was employed in this city by the Monroe
County Cooperative Fire Insurance Com
pany. He was not a defaulter. He did not
murder Miss Emerson or anybody else so
far as can be learned. No woman named
Emerson is known to have been murdered
in this city at any time. The opinion is
universal that Leadly was insane at the
time the statements were made.

ANOTHER MANS WIFE
caused Edward Statesman to be Shot
to Death at Duff Village.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
HUNTINGBURG, Ind, Sept. IA sensa-
tional murder occurred at Duff, village
fve miles west of Huntingburg, last even
Ing. Edward Statesman, young farmer
was fatally shot by William Solomon. a res
ldent of the village, for persisting in paying
attentions to Solomons wife. For a year
past Statesman has been calling ON Mrs.
Solomon whenever the husband was alb
sent and Solomon had repeatedly warned
Statesman to keep away. Yesterday while
solomon was absent from the village
statesman again called on the woman.
Learning of this on his return Solomon
armed himself with revolver and started
IN search of Statesman, whom he found at
HoHmanS store. He accused him of calling
on his wife, and when Statesman denied the
fired twice. One ball grazed the left fore
arm and the other entered Stuteman's alb
domen and lodged in the spinal column,
producing Il fatal wound. He died this
morning. Solomon has not been arrested
and is still at his home in Duff. The gen.
eral opinion in the neighborhood is that the
shooting was justitiable.
Last fall Statesman and Mrs. Solomon
eloped to Petersburg where they stopped
at a hotel and registered as man and wife.
Solomon followed, and had them arrested
on the charge of adultery. They were found
guilty and sentenced to Jail, Statesman
serving 40 days and the woman sixty days.
Statesman was also in Jail at Jasper, safter
his release at the Petersburg jail, on the
same charge, but at the time of shooting
he was out on bond to appear at the next
therm of court. Statesman was a married
man and the father of two children, but he
and his wife have not lived together for

SHERIDAN's GRAVE.
The General Himself Selected the
Site in Arlington Cemetery.
Washington Star.

General Sheridan was not the only Off
Ger who selected the site for his grave at
Arlington explained one of the employees
of Arlington Cemetery to a reporter,
though that impression prevails very large
ly. Hundreds of other officers and soldiers
have done the same thing, and there are
to-day in the books at Arlington records OF
sites selected by at least fifty ex-ottcers
and ex-soldiers who want to be buried there,
which is their right if they desire. All that
has to be done is to select the site. The
government pays all the expenses of inter-
mentment digs the grave places a regula-
ton monument on it and keeps the grave
in order. OF course, when it is preferred,
the regulation monument is not insisted on,
and the privilege is allowed of having any
kind of monument at the expense OF those
who are to occupy the graves, or of their
family or friends. Nearly all of the army
nurses who have been buried at Arlington
their own burial sites, and quite a number
of selections have been made by others who
expect to rest there. There is frequent in
quiry made in regard to the site selected
by General Sheridan, and upon which the
handsome monument, which is one of the
many attractions of the cemetery, has been
placed, from the fact that it is in front of
the mansion instead of in the rear at
the side of it, as are the other graves. This
is explained by the fact that General Sheri-
dan himself selected it. His reason for Sc
lecting it was that that particular point was
in full view of his residence in Rhode ISL
and avenue. 1t is, besides, the only site
which can be seen from the west windows OF
the house where his family resides 1t was
this, rather than that he was exclusive in
his desires, that caused the selection. Major
Gregory, of the engineer corps, who was
buried beside him a few weeks ago, then
a captain was at that time his staff.
They were together when the site was Sc
lected. After. General Sheridan, who had
selected the site by viewing it from one of
the upper rooms of his residence had in
Dictated it to the superintendent of the GEM
etery and a record was made of the exact
location, Major Gregory remarked in
pleasant way:
i" General, how would you like company
General Sheridan turned to him and re-
piled: Nothing would suit me better, and,
if you want to, | will stake out a claim
for you, so that we can rest together
9 Thank you, general replied Major
Gregory, though l am likely to come here
first Major Gregory was rather unwell
that day. though, as it happened, his illness
was brief. Immediately General Sheridan
turned to the superintendent and said,
pointing to the ground: Reserve a place
right here for Gregory. We got along very
nicely together in life and l don't think
we will quarrel after death. Anyhow, we
are both willing to risk it. -

chapter has been added to the trouble con-

Board, came up from Shelbyville and adj

other side had the sheriff come up and or

obeyed, but the board erected fences across
the streets, shutting up some OF the main
business houses, including the Union State

Freeport star mail route, and as the mail
carrier is not compelled to go by any diff
ferent route he could cause them some
trouble. The board has been ordered to

Mr.. Walter A. Wyckoff, who made this ex-
pertinent in reality for the sake of getting
the laborer's point of view, makes a very
entertaining story for Scribner. 1t takes
but little time for him to get this point
of view and to feel himself in an entirely
new attitude toward the world from that
he had known but few hours before. He
also makes the ingenious statement that
the laboring people, whom he had hitherto
regarded as q class differ as greatly in
higher social grade. He thus describes
his sensations at the end of his first day
as an unskilled laborer shoveling dirt into
cart: II was hungry, not with the hunger
