Merely the method Of setting ria O
the dead body CAV, excuse ior mystery
and sensation
rho 10 confederates dissocted the
wretch who had pe~rseveripgly found
way to death, and throw the members
Of his body in the river as they re-
turned to the city on the ferryboat.
These members being found sewed
up caused a similar mystery to the dis
mem5ered body which the robbers set
over their cave in the tale OF the
s.Forty Thieves" From the oilcloth
used to sew up the members the case
was traced backward through q
variety OF little details, not the least OF
which was the peeping of the neigh
bors at that country house where two
people went in without baggage and
came out with big baggage. 1t seemed
q regular circus trick.
The law did its work very well, and
by the aid of the pulpit the woman was
brought to confess. Nevertheless the
original and instigating criminal wa
the man who was dismcmhered. HI
was in pursuit Of criminality. All tina
followed was possible in any combina
ton where you can forge the first link,
and that was carnal d%epravity.
Mystery has a better influence thar
crime. Ia the time of Charles Ii,
magistrate named Godfrey took thu
deposition of some religionaries agains
certain plotters to restore the old re!i
gion to England. Soon after, this mag
istrate was found in a stream OF waite
with his W sword u through hi
body. His other wounds, however
| showed that he had not killed himself
To this day nobody knows who kille'
him. But the mystery of his deaf
called up q host of p~erjurers, who s.
inflamed the public that a long serie
Of horrible executions of possibly limo
cent people followed, among them tina
of the Earl of Stafford, an eminen
gentleman who had no crime but hi
religion.

GIGANTIC PROJECT.

1t has been freely stated that the
monumental railway enterprise Of the
nineteenth century will be the Trans
Siberian railroad. Considering that
when this tremendous length of line is
completed the Pacific littoral will be
brought into direct railway commuui-
cation with the North Sea, one cannot
but pause for a moment to admire the
enterprise OF q nation which 10 some
quarters has beer looked upon for
many years as n more or less bar
barrie, says the New York Herald.
There is 40 question that Russia is
marching onward with firm and
vigorous steps, and in engineering bids
fair to compete with any Of the older
and, presumably, more intelligent
countries. Its latest engineering scheme
is one which is likely to put into in signi-
icance auy other undertaking OF a like
character. 1t is nothing less than to
build a gigantic waterway from the
Black Sea to the the Baltic; in other
words, a canal deep enough and wide
enough to carry cargo steamers from
tao north of Russia to the south, or
vice versa. At the same time the coun-
try OF Russian Poland, in the watershed
OF the Dnieper, is being actively sur
veyed toward this end, and early next
year it is expected that the work of
constructing this gigantic canal will
begin. The estimated cost ia $780,
900, GOO, which includes a system Of
electric lighting along the canals
whole length of 1000 miles.
A glance at the map will reveal the
fact that IN western Russia the low,
fat marsh land adjacent TO the Dnieper
should afford excellent opportunities
for rapid work in connection with the
enterprise in hand. The scheme at
present is to take advantage of the
River Duna, from the port OF Riga,o on the
Baltic coast, to the town of Dunaberg,
in Poland. Here a canal will be cut
to the River Beresina, which flows into
The Dnieper, which itself, after passing
through Kiev and Ekaterinoslav,
empties into the Black Sea at Kherson,
close to Odessa. The canal will, when
completed, be in every way as great in
its possibilities as the present Suez
canal, for not only is it intended for
the development OF commerce, but it
will be built large, deep and wide
enough to allow of the passage of
ironclads and ocean-going steamers.

The sporting writer's OF tho country
propose to i~naugurate a reform which
will meet with the hearty encourage
ment of every newspaper reader 10 the
land. They will organize to keep out OF
print all this cheap pugilistic chatter,
and publish only only actual news con-
corning prize fighters who mean bust
ness and who have a fight on hand
This will relieve a great pressure upon
the sporting columns CT the daily preeS
and will deprive pugilistic fakcrs OF 0

Mrs. LANerRY will have to 90 il

Mrs. LANGTRY will have to 60 into
court soon and explain the circumstan-
ces surrounding the many gifts that the
late .Squire"Abington Baird showered
IN her. He gave her property worth
more than 50. 900. OO1 and a valuable
racs horse, the latter in compensation
for a black eye he also had given her.
After his death q searching investiga-
ton of his affairs was made by his re-
latives, and she was asked to explain
how these things came into her pos
session. She said she had a deed of
gift, but evidently this has been lost,
for she is advertising. II she does not
get it she either must give up the things
or go into court. and she has chosen
the latter.

In the house Wednesday, while the
District Of Columbia bin was under
discussion, Delegate Ferguson, q
New Mexico, got the floor, and. under
the latitude allowed for debate, argued
that an injustice had been done in de-
nying statehood to New Mexico. He
said that if it was delayed all the
valuable land lately restored to the
public domain which would be selected
by the Territory, were she a state, for
school purposes, would be gone. He
appealed for the passage of the bill al
lowing the Territory to select such
lands now.

THE Hawaiian treaty is in a state OF
suspended animation. Its friends have
abandoned the design to drive i
through because they are two votes
short, and still they feel too strong tc
abandon it aad to substitute a joint
resolution of annexation. So they will
let the treaty rest for a time and try to
get the two votes. IL is intimated that
they are likely TO come from the
democratic side, through Senator Cor
mans influence.

WITH the remarkable increase in the
membership of the Christian Science
church, the law seems to be keeping
pace in prosecutions for violations OF
the statutes by the faith curists. In
Kokomo, Indiana, warrants have been
issued for J. L. Stevenson and Samuel
Fuller, leaders of the Christian ScIep-
lists in jackson township, on the
charge Of manslaughter. They are
held responsible for the deaths Of a
child of the former and the wife Of the
latter, both OF whom died without re-
ceiving medical attention. Fuller's
wife, who died last week of typhoid
fever, did not believe in Christian
Science, and wanted her husband to
send for a physician, but he declined.
and her death was due to neglect.

THE experiments of Prof. John B.
Smith, who has been obtaining pecu-
liar results by grating insects ut the
New Jersey state experimental farm,
near New Brunswick, have excited
some of the farmers in that mosquito
plagued state. One man called to see
Prof. Smith TO protest against the ex.
periments. He said he had been in
formed that the professor intended to
produce three-headed mosquitoes by
his grating process, and he wanted, as
q resident of the worst mosquito
infested section of the state, to make
a remonstrance. One-headed mos
quitoes were bad enough, he insisted.
