THE BRITANNIA SMUGGLERS.
Further Evidence of Conspiracy Among
the Steamships Officers is Rapid
ly Accommodating.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Further evi.
dence of the conspiracy among some OF
the officers of the White Star line
steamer Britannia to steal and
smuggle have been reported to the
chief of police of Jersey City. In the
rooms of Third Officer John kynaston,
who is under arrest here, and First Of
fcer j. w. Jago, who disappeared af-
ter the arrest of Kynaston on Friday
last, were found three receipts for
registered packages mailed on Friday
in New York. These packages were
sent by JagO to London ON the Cunard
line steamer Etruria, due in London
next Friday. 1t is believed that they
contained money and valuableS stolen
from the Britannia during her trip over.
h Britannia arrived in New York on
Friday, and the packages were posted
in New York shortly afterwards.
Chief Murphy has learned that the
lace which the accused tried to SNUG
gle from the Britannia to the dock was
part of the cargo of the vessel, and
that the shippers of the lace were not
in the plot to dcfraud the government.
Chief of Police Murphy said hal as
the White Star line was a British
corporation, and as English mail was
opened, the British authorities have
jurisdiction in the matter.
John kynastOn, who tried to have 90
coupons from United States bonds
cashed here, will nave an examination
Wednesday.

WOMAN'S TEMPLE OF CHICAGO,
The Temple Trustees Have No Idea of
Abandoning the Effort to Pay for
the Building.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Mrs. Matilda B.
Carse, president of the board of tenn
pie trustees of the Woman's Temple
of Chicago, in referring to the action
taken at Il recent meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National w.
{. L. T., said:
THE recommendation of the COM
mittee that the local w. c. 7. L. socie-
ties discontinue any further effort to
pay for the temple, on account of the
SLOW progress which has been made
in collecting money, was Il most
unfortunate decision, and is not
upheld by the rank and file of
the society. The temple trustees
are al Incorporated and Independent
body, and have not the slightest idea
of abandoning the project of making
the temple Miss Wizards memorial.
Miss Wizards last words on her death
bed in regard to the temple were:
'Oh, if l could be of help. Oh,
that some one would help me in my
extremity SO hat success might
come to the temple More plans than
ever have been set on foot by the tenn
pie trustees to pay for the beautiful
building, and some large subscriptions
have been received within a week. The
chain letter, sent out by the Young
Peoples Christian Temperance union,
is proving a great success"

FIVE NEGROES DISPOSED OF.
The Awful Result of the Murder Of Q
Good CI~tizensof the State of
Arkansas.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 10.-Five
negroes are hanging from the limbs of
trees near the railroad track and the
widow of John T. Orr is dead in her
cell. This is the tragic denouement Of
the assassination of John T. Orr, a
wealthy merchant at Clarendon, a few
nights ago. The wife died from a dose
of poison, self-administered, while the
negroes, her associates in crime, were
strung up by a mob of citizens.
The report of the lynching was re.
ceived here at an early hour this morn
ing after telegraph communication had
suspended for the night, and the only
authentic details of the affair came
from a railroad telegraph operator at
Clarendon, who saw the lynching.
Four bodies, two women and two
men, are hanging from the limb of a
tree not far from his office and a few
PAGES away bangles the body of another
negro women, the former cook in the
Orr household. Miss Morris, the Jewess
Implicated in the assassination, was not
hanged, she having disappeared Mon.
day night.
Those lynched are MANI Castle, Den.
mis- Ricord, Rilla Weaver, Susie Jacobs
and Will Saunders.
Late Saturday night John T. Orr
was assassinated while making a glass
Of lemonade. He had just returned
from choir practice where his wife was
organist. The crime was shrouded in
mystery until Miss Morris told ome
body that she knew who fired the shot.
A coroner's inquest resulted in the ar.
rest of the five negroes and Mrs. Orr
and a warrant for Miss Morris. 1t was
charged that the wife had hired the
negroes to do the murder.
Orr's life was insured for s. 5000 and
it developed at the inquest that Orr
and his wife lived unhappily. Mr..
Orr was formerly a theatrical man.
In 1890 the couple eloped to a summer
resort in Wisconsin and were married.
Later they settled in Clarendon, where
Orr prospered in business, and was
considered wealthy at the time of his
death.

most, literally, a new world. Such a spot is
Yellowstone Park. There is no place like 1t
in the world. You will be astonished at what
you see and learn there. Amonth's outing

you cannot afford it, then go to beautiful

UNCAS AGAIN AT KEY WEST.
Interesting Experience of the Banner
Blockadlng VesseI-Darlng Adventures
In Carrying Cuban Supplies.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 1.-THE tug
Uncas, comma Lder Lieut.. r. Brainerd,
reached here yesterday after an ex-
citing fortnight of blockade duty on
the north Cuban coast. The Uncas
holds the record of the three smaller
boats for continuous blockade service
and interesting experiences. She car
ries Cuban expeditions and lands them
almost under the enemy's guns; she
chases almost anything from a raft to
a battieship, and occupies spare mo-
ments by knocking over Spanish block
houses and capturing prizes.
On this, her latest trip, the Uncas
put ashore all her expeditions for
Gomez and had a dangerous fire in her
hold, just above the magazine. In
spite of all this she looked none the
worse when she steamed into Key
West for coal and provisions.

BEAUTIFUL HOMES.
The Tendency of hi Age Is Toward
Mural Decorations.

Probably at no time in the worlds history
has as much attention been paid to the IN
terror decoration of homes as at present.
No home, no matter how humble, Is without
its handiwork that helps to beautlfy the
apartments and make the surroundings more
cheerful. The taste of the American people
has kept pace with the age, and almost
every day brings forth something new
1 n the way of a picture, a draplng, a
piece of furniture or other form OF mural
decoration. One Of the latest OF these has
been given to the world by the celebrated
artist, Muviile, in a series of four handsome
porcelain game plaques. Not TOR years has
ANYTHING as handsome in this line been seen.
The subjects represented by these plaques
are American Wild Ducks, American Pleas
ant, American Quail and English Snipe,
They are handsome paintings and are es-
pecially designed for hanging on dining
room walls, though their richness and beau.
tv entitled them to a place IN the parIOr OF
any home. These original plaques have been
purchased at a cost of $4,000 by J. {. Hub
niger Bros. Co, manufacturers OF the cele-
brated Elastic Starch, and in order to enable
their numerous customers to become posses
sors of these handsome works of art they
have had them reproduced by a special
process, in all the rich colors and beauty of
the original. They are finished on heavy
cardboard, pressed and embossed in the
shape of a plaque and trimmed with a heavy
band of gold. They measure forty inches
in circumference and contain no reading
matter or advertisement whatever.
Until September lst Messrs. J. c. Hubing-
er Bros. Co. propose to distribute these
plaques free to their customers. Every pur-
chaser of three ten-cent packages OF Elastic
Starch, fat-iron brand, manufactured by j.
C. Hubinger Bros. Co, is entitled to receive
one of these handsome plaques free from
their grocer. Old and new customers alike
are entitled to the benefits of this offer.
These plaques will not be sent through the
mail, the only way to obtain them being
from your grocer. Every grocer store in the
country has Elastic Starch for sale. It is the
oldest and best laundry starch on the mar
ket and is the most perfect cold process
starch ever inverted. 1t is the only starch
made by men who thoroughly understand
the laundry business, and the only starch
that will not iniure the finest fabric. 1t has
beten the standard for a quarter of a century
and as an evidence of how good it is twenty
two million packages were sold last year.
Ask your dealer to show you the plaques and
tell you about Elastic Starch. Accept no
substitute. Bear in mind that this offer
holds good a short time only and should be
taken advantage of without delay.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 1O.-A special
from Vancouver, B. c., says the steamer
Farralon is in port from Skaguay.
The purser and captain claim that
$1,000, 900 is in the safe in gold drafts.
The purser says that when she left
Skaguay the town was in flames,
and that the fire was fast approaching
the dynamite stores with no prospect
of checking it. The fire started ffrom

high wind driving the flames in with
terrible force.
