On December % last young Walker stepped

laid it down the weapon was in some unknown

to return to his home. He is suffering no pain

house, the laundry ard all the mod ern improvements of big cities sub stitute, if they do not supply, "alI the comforts of home" He has the divorce court and the domestic scandals of everyday life to mislead him into the belief that marriage is failure. And there are other in huences, more or less bad, which prevent him from setting up a home of his own
 If he should rise superior to all the deterrent conditions and find a lcongenial girl to share his lot he generally goes to live in flat Be- fore he gets the keys of his future home he must satisfy an eXacting Landlord that he has no children. He may even be required to take a solemn oath that he will never have any,
 The tyranny of the flat owner has not reached the point of requiring wife to swear to the same thing, but there is no doubt that the spirit and atmosphere of flat life is antag- onistic to children. In the east ern cities especially, the flat fad has put a severe check upon the propa- qation of the race. Even the dot ing parent who rents a flat under false Dretensions and smuggles the children into their own home after dark takes desperate chances. The ianltor is always "agin kids, If they do not fall out the upstairs windows, they run afoul of the peo pie in the lower flats. They inno- gently ring the wrong door bell, or drop soap-bubbles upon the sub- dwellers untiIl their parents become the seorn of the neighborhood and must move in selfdefense.
 Here in St. Louis the flats and children seem 10 be more compat- ible. There are some flats in St. Louis where children are not only admitted, but welcomed. Still the chances are against the youngsters, The remorseless street car fender. the cat rifle and the gasoline stove help to decimate the ranks of the babies on our blocks, and no wonder there is a decrease in the percentage Of children in our population.

The Chlld Population
st-Louls Republic

Statistics show that the percent age of children in the United States has decl eased. Whether this is traceable to a short crop or to the untimely taking off of the young. sters is not shown, but it IS prob able that both causes are equally responsible for the surprising re- suit.
 It is well known that the propor- tion of city population in the United States has increased rapidly as compared with the numbers which live in the country, and there is no doubt that the trend of Amer ican life is towards metropolitan and thiekly settled communities at the expense of the rural growth in the country. Whether this is a wholesome condition is a question that must work it's own solution Wtlhln the next decade, but 1t is a transition1natural in the develop ment of a people devoted by nature and training to mercar tile pursuits.
 This growing partiality for city life is probably the cause Of the pro portionai decrease in chj.d popula- ton. City folks do not marry as early as their country cousins. The young woman in town is compara- lively independent. Mercantile and professional pursuits are open to her and matrlmony is not the chiel end of her ambitions. The excite ment and temptations of city life lare not calculated to aid young mer to 'settle down." The boardine

AT HER. HOTELlBY AN AN ARCHIST WHO WAS
 ARRESTED.
Was A Terrible Crime.
Brief Sketch Of the Woman Whose Life Was Thus Sacrificed at the Whlm
 of Human Fiend.

Geneva, Switzerland, September lO.-The Empress of Austria was assassinated at the Hotel Beauri- wage this evening by an anarchist, who was arrested. He stabbed her majesty with a stilletto.
 It appears that her majesty was walking from the hotel to the land- ing place of the steamer at l o'clock when an Italian anarchist suddenly approached and stabbed her in the heart. The empress fell, got up again and was carried to the steamer unconscious. The boat started, but seeing the empress had not recovered consciousness the captain returned and the empress was carried to the Hotel Beauray- age, where she expired.
 The murderer is q man named Lucchoni He was born in Paris of Italian parents,
 The Empress of Austria was born December 21. 1887. She was the daughter of Duke Macmillan of Ba- varia, and married Francis Joseph, emperor Of Austria, king of Hun gary, April 24, 1854. They had three ehildren-Archduchess Gisola, who married CPrinee Luitpold, Ba- varia; Archduke Rudolph, who married Princess Stephanie, Bel gium, and who was seemingly as .sassinated in 1889, and Arebduehess Maria Valeria, who married Arch duke Franz Salvador, Austria, Tus- cany. The late empress was an en- thusiastic horsewoman.

Even in Jefferson county, where there was hot fight oyer the sher- iiI's office, the vote was light, Mon. day, Mccoy, the Democratic nom inee (O beat Bell, Independent, over 400 otes.-Fordyee Enterprise.
 The remarkable feature of the Jefferson county election is thar Me. Coy's biggest majorities came from the black districts, and that he was elected by negro republican votes. In the republican town ships of Vaugine Exclusive of Pine BlefD, Bolivar, Dudley Lake, Old River, Pastoria, Richland and Vile mont, McCoy's majorities aggre. gate 484 votes, whereas his majority in the county over Bell was only i42 votes. Thus we have witnessed the spectacle of a democratic nominee (?) being elected by republican votes over an independent democratic candidate indorsed by both wings of the republican party. This is another evidence of the fact that if is the unexpected that happens ir politics.

SELF-CONFESSED BUTCHER.
Consul General Lee Said to Have DOcu-
ments That VIII show Weyler Up In
Most Diabolicu Light

NEW YORK, April IA. The New York
Evening kilograms Washington cor
respondent sends the following:
There seems to be no doubt now that
Gen. Lee will present documents to
President Mckinley proving absolute
ly that Gen. Weyler placed mines in
Havana harbor and planned destruc-
ton for any American warship that
might visit Havana on friendly mis-
sion or otherwise. Gen. Lee carries
with him indisputable proof Of Wey-
ler's perfdy. II the papers which
the American consul general car
ries are made public they will
cause an international sensation.
These papers are In most cases original
documents and are fully attested.
One places Weyler in the position OF
being a self-confessed butcher, who
would willingly sacrifice the lives Of
hundreds Of human beings for the sim
pie reason that they happened to be
connected with an American warship.
In other words, he openly boosted his
ability TO blow out Of water any
Yankee ship that entered Havana
harbor, no matter what position might
be taken. Mines were so carefully ar.
ranged that they commanded every
anchorage In the harbor.

A VICTIM OF MORPHINE.


COLUMBIA, Mo-, April IA. = Mrs
Pauline Smith died here under unusual
circumstances. Several years ago she
was taken to the lunatic asylum at
Fulton, Mo-, being at the time violently
insane from the use Of morphine, to
which she had been addicted for
many years Several days ago she was
released, under the belief that she was
not only perfectly sane, but cured Of
the habit. She started for Columbia,
but at Mexico her craving for the drug
exceeded her control. She left the
train and purchased supply Of NOR
phine. She took a large dose, the
amount she was accustomed to take
when she left off, and the result was
that she died when she reached home.
