CRUELTY SLAUGHTERED
Shocking Developments In Wlsconsin's
Murder Case

Berlin, Wis. June 1l.--Augnst
Nimpke, charged with wife murder,
waived examination and was taken TO
the county jail at hartford. The
coroner's jury held an inquest over
the body OF Mrs. Nimpkc, Drs. Dod-
son and Willis having made a post
mortem examination. The testimony
was to the effect that there had been
two shots fired from a gun, which
had penetrated the body and that two
gashes or deep cuts had been made
by some sharp instrument. which was
probably the cause OF the death. The
verdict Of the jury was that she came
to her death by gunshot wounds, and
cut In the abdomen by some sharp
instrument In the hands OF August

children. the oldest OF whom is mar

Russian frontier and came into the land Oh

al;tv Polish girls are more like American
girls. If you ask young English girl

YOU that her mamma does not allow her

Girl how she likes to live in Paris, she tells
Won that she never went down town alone
In her life.
But the Polish girls are different.
They are individual. They all have per-
sonality. When you have met one, you
never feel as If YOU had met all. In this
respect they resemble American girls, but
only in this respect, for whereas there Is

A HoNEYCOMB or STEEL.
A Description of the Iowa, Probably the
Best American Battieship.

There are three types of heavy fighting
vessels in our navy-the harbor defense
monitor capable of service I'm smooth wa
ter; the coast line battlcship, for coast de-
fcnsc, and the seagoing battleship, which
can handle its guns in IA fairly heavy sea.
None of these have speed exceeding 10
or IL knots, the principal difference be-
tween the three classes being in the height
of the guns above the water line and the
capacity to maintain their highest speed
in rough water. The Iowa, as the best of
these, is our only completed example OF
seagoing battleship, and she may be taken
as a type. She has been described as "a
vast honeycomb Of steel" Doubts have
been expressed as to the stability of this
honeycomb under the shock of a heavy
projectle. Writers who have had no ex-
periencc on the sea are likely to forget the
heavy shock which the bulls of all our
ships have already withstood in firing their
own guns. In fact, there Is not much
difference in the jar to the turret and its
machinery from the reaction OF IL inch
shell and that resulting from n blow.
The Iowa carries 46 guns, just two moro
than the rating of our old Constitution,
and, like her, is among the first OF new
type. Four IL inch guns are mounted
near the ends of the ship i'm steel turrets
| 10 inches thick, and four inch guns are
| placed on each side in smaller steel turrets
| 6 inches thick. These turrets have steel
| covers and are like inverted cheeseboxcs,
l with holes for the muzZles of the guns,
nearly all of which are fully % feet above
the water. The other guns are of smaller
caliber of the rapid firing class. -Four
Calling guns are mounted in platforms on
the single mast, called the fighting tops
They are placed high in the air for the
purpose of delivering plunging fire upor
the decks of an opponent. While the Con
stitution fired broadside weighing about
200 pounds, the Iowa is capable of dis
charging 1850 pounds in one broadside
If we reckon the total weight OF meta
which can be thrown by the Iowa In TIT
time required by the Constitution to fir
q broadsde, we have not far from 9,OO'
pounds. Ira n. Hollis In AT

A Peep at Mr.. wyckofrs Chicago Board
ing House at supper Time.

Mrs. Schulzs boarders had soon reas-
sembled, this time in her kitchen. Every
thing was in readiness for us. A row or
tin basins stood in long sink which ex-
tended under the rear windows nearly the
length of the room, buckets of hot water
were convenient, and at the pump at one
end of the sink we could temper the water
in the basins to our liking. Finally there
were cakes of soap cut from large bars
and the usual coarse towels hanging from
rollers on the walls. With sleeves rolled
up and our shirts wide open at the neck
we took our turns at the basins. 1t was

WASHINGTON UNMOVED.
No sneers, No Rivalry, Gould Make Him
Change His Well Considered Plans.

The country, with its head turning from
the victory over Burgoyne, was clamoring
for another battle. Comparisons were
made between Washington and Gates, gro
tesaue as such an idea seems now, much
to the formers disadvantage, and the de-
feats around Philadelphia were contrasted
bitterly with the northern victories. Muir
murs could be heard in the congress, which
had been forced TO fly from their comfort
able quarters by tho arrival of the yictori-
Gus enemy in Philadelphia. John Adams,
one of the ablest and most patriotic OF
men, but with distinct capacity FOR nom
est envy, discoursed eXcitedly about WASH
ington's failures and Gates successes. lie
knew nothing of military affairs, but as
sydney Smith said of Lord John Russell,
he would have been ready to take COM
mand of the channel fleet on n days no.
tice. and so he decided and announced in
his impetuous way the greatness OF Gates,
whose sole merit was that he was not able
| to prevent Burgoyne's defeat, and growled
ut the general in chief, who had saved the
| Revolution and sneered at him as Ia
| bus.

CHALLENGES THE SCHOOLS.
Great Men III Various Walks Who Have
Not h-sen Academicians.

1t Is In no ungracious or unfriendly
spirit that / challenge the schools, but
nevertheless / do challenge them. And
back of me stands the more serious chal-
lcnge Of events. 1t is surely significant
fact that the men and women whose per-
formances in art, in science i'm literature,
have most touched the heart and the i'm
agination of our time have been for the
most part men and women who have
taught themselves. Lincoln, our first
American, was quite untaught in any
academic sense, but nevertheless in his
Gettysburg speech he reached level in
both thought and language that had not
been reached In America before AS we
all know his two masters were the Bible
and Shakespeare.
1t Is true that on the other side of the
water the best English of the century has
perhaps been written by Matthew Arnold,
an -academician to the backbone, and yet
know that in his lack of human warmth
he has failed in any very vital way to
touch the imagination of his time. / can
not forget the comment of the clever wom-
! an who said to me in reference to the
minor chord which pervades Arnold's po-
etry, Eyes, like him, but he always
seems to me to be saying, Cheer up; the
worst is still to come" A message so
! discouraging as this Is not the utteranoe
| of first class power.
The most considerable figures in current
literature, men like Walt Whitman, Ste.
venson and Kipling, are not academicians,
ont men who have seen and reported life,
master workmen who learned their craft
at first hand. In science it would be use
less to ask who taught Darwin and Audi
bon, Agassiz and John Muir, for we al
know that largely they taught themselves

half of the century, was little more than {
