No 0vertures To Gold Men.

Washington, D. C., Jan. l5.-It is as
certain as anything can be in the future
that no sort OF overtures are going to be
made to the gold men who deserted the
Democratic party last year on account of
the Chicago platform. These men are
going to be left to follow whatever course
they want to, but if any of them come
back into the fold it can be only by the
acceptance of what they call Organism.
TIE lines on the silver question are be-
ing drawn closer than they ever were be-
fore, and il will soon appear that the
only way to antagonize the free coinage
of silver is to join with the Republican
party and work for that party as the gold
men did during the last Presidential cam
psign.
A number of talks and conferences have
been held between leaders of the Demo-
cratic, Silver Republican and POpulist
parties, which have resulted in their get
ting closer and closer together. They
agree entirely on the no. no-compromise pol
icy, and have adopted the policy Of max
ing common cause in the support of each
other in the fight for silver. The gold
people who are deceived by reports of
disagreements and divisions are being
simply lulled into sense OF security,
while the Bryan forces are perfecting
their organization in manner surprising
for its skillfulness and complete harmony
Of purpose. The talk about Democrats
trying to bring back the gold men of
their party by making terms with them is
simply intended to fool the people.

Satan in a Church.

BOURBON, Ind, Jan. l7.-Rev. Mr..
Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethel
Church. Sunday night took for his theme
''His Santanic Majesty" lie is an elo-
queut man, and he painted the arch
fiend in vivid colors. At the climax of
the description being, dressed to repre-
sent devil, with large head and switch
ing tail, ambled up the aisle, blowing
smoke from his nOstrils and believing
Il am the devil and | want all of you -
The audience became panie-stricken.
Men, women and children were hurled
to the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush for the door. In the confusion
the stove was upset and the building
caught fire. Before the Mortified mem
bers regained their senses the fire had
gained such headway that all attempts to
save the church were in vain.
This morning George Akin, son Of the
pastor, c0nfssse ed that he, with the help
Of other boys, rugged up devil suit,
and, knowing the subject OF his faith
er's sermon concealed himself behind
a chair and awaited the arrival Of the
audience.

He Were s25O.OO EightgOwns.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. l3.-PTesi-
dent Mckinley, at the request Of Senator
Wolcott, to- day nominated ex-senator
Horace \. w. Tabor. the former million
aire, to be postmaster of Denver, in spite
of the fact that Tabor is a Bryanite. be-
cause at 81 he is absolutely in need Of a
salary, having lost even the SIC. eco recent
ly given him hy one Of the Colorado
milliOnaires in an unfortunate mining
venture.
Senator Teller was very much pleased
at the appointment Of one of his follow
ers, and was inclined to think that Den
yer will also be pleased, although there
were ten candidates for the place.
Tabor is still remembered here as the
most sensational person who ever came
to the Senate in our day.
During his short term he was advertis-
ed all over the United States by his $50
nightgowns and other extraordinary ex-
hibitiOns OF his wealth. His diamond
cuff buttons with which he used to
scratch his desk in the Senate, in order
that it might always be remembered as
Tabor's desk, were never equaled in the
Senate. And neither were the extraor-
dinary speeches which he used to make
the Senators, and the personal canvass
he made sor their autographs for his al
bum.

Deed Of a Novel Fispd.

The body of e-year-old Percy Lock
var. who is believed 10 have been mur-
dered on Friday night by fifteen-ysar-old
Samuel Henderson was found Sunds- in
the bottom of Reddies Creek, Sixtieth
and Catharine streets, Philadelphia, and
there seems little doubt in the minds Of
the police that young Henderson is gull
ty of the crime.
The child's skull was crushed in and
there was a knife thrust just above the
heart and a similar wound on his breast,
side. aud forehead, while on one side of
his Glee was long cut extending from
below the eye 10 the chin. Two stones
lied TO the body held it down in the
water. From W hat the police have been
able 10 learn, the crime seems 10 have
been one OF the most horrible character,
and if its details are true it stamps young
Henderson. who is dime novel fiend,
as a degenerate Of the worst type, and he
does not seem 10 realize the enormity of
his crime.
He admits having coaxed Percy Lock
var aud Willie Addison, aged seven years,
to the woods to play Indian" but con-
tends that the younger boy ran against
the knife and stabbed himself" after
which Henderson claims he became
/ frightened and threw the body in the
| creek. The police assert that Henderson
accompanied Lockyar and Addison to the
woodS, as he stated, but that instead oi
aBy accident happening to either, Hen
derson tied both children 10 tree; Ad-
Olson broke away and ran home, and il
was then, it is claimed, that young Lock
/ vars death was accomplished.
