ASSISTED IN BIG FRAUDS,
Errell. Who Dies of Starvation. Help
ed the Bidyren F'Orgers.

New York, June Eff he told the truth,
Edward Errell. an old man who died at
Bellevue Hospital last evening of starva-
tion was the assistant of the Bidwells
when they perpetrated their tremendous
forgcries On the Bank of England, in 1872.
Errell said at the hospital that he had
steady employment as an engraver with q
firm of jewellers in Union Square when
Austin Bidwell went to him and hired him
to go to England to help in the forgeries
He would not tell who his New York en-
ployers had been; they had always treated
him WELL he said. and there was no reason
why he should drag their name in. When
the Bidwell gang was broken up. Errell
drifted back to this country. Misfortune
and trouble had followed him from the day
he first met Austin Bidwell.
Errell was found at Fourth Avenue and
Sixteenth Street Thursday night, helpless
wreck. He told the police that he had not
eaten for four days and that he had been
driven away from every place where he
went to ask for food or the chance to wash
himself. He had been prevented from
washing himself even in horse troughs
The surgeons at Bellevue found that his
story of starvation at least was true. He
was so weak that they could not save him.

MANILA WE'LL LIGHTED.

IF'rom the st. Louis lobe-Democrat.1
One of the first things noticed by
American naval officers in the city of
Manila was the excellence of the street
lighting which is fully up to the stand
ard of American cities. 1t seems that
in 1895 an American firm made a twenty
years contract whit the municipal
council for lighting the city. 1t was to
supply 40 2,000-candle power arc lamps
and 1000 20-candle power incandeScent
lamps for $780, (Mexican) per annum.
The contract provided that the lamps
should burn every night, and all night
ii. e, from twenty minutes after sun
set to twenty minutes after sunrise).
The city lighting covers all streets on
both sides of the Pasig river, except
few in several native quarters of the
town. AS might be expected, the pri-
vate lighting service has grown largely,
and includes, besides many arcs, about
5000 incandeScentS. Some of the city
residences have as many as 200 lights
each. Since the Americans took pos
session of the city the electric light
company has been busy day and night.
The barracks selected for the troops
had TO be lighted, and the churches,
cOck-pits and ''go-downs," or ware
houses, appropriated quarters for
the soldiers, had to be wired and con-
nected with the lighting system. The
Chinese merchants were very quick to
see the advantage of having a flood of
electric light in their stores, and in
some of the business quarters there are
over 1000 incandescents in d space of
about four blocks. The agent of the
electric company happened to be in
Yokohama when the news came that
Dewey's fleet had sailed from Hong
Kong for Manila. He was at once ap-
piled to for electric fans for the ships
of the fleet, and managed to secure
about twenty. Subsequently he brought
back at a handsome premium fifty more
that he had just delivered to a Gus
toner, and the whole consignment was
shipped Immediately to Manila, where
they were a godsend to officers aboard
ship, who had already begun to exper-
inseparable from living in cramped
quarters in a tropical climate.

THE STRIKE GROWS.
Miners Gain in Recruits and Press
Their Advantage.

Pittsburg, May 22.-The strike situa-
ton in this district begins now to show
considerable gains for the strikers. The
miners of the Central Coal and Coke
company at Yale, who refused to come
out at first, laid down their tools Sat
urday, and will remain out until Wed
nesday next. when there is a large
mass meeting of the miners in Chero-
kee and Crawford counties to be held
in this city. During that time the ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers association will have commit
tees at work among the non-union min
ers to try to get them to come out. The
executive board held a meeting at Weir
City Saturday. The result of the meet
ing has not been made public, but it is
rumOred that a special fight against the
Kansas and Texas Coal company is to
be maintained in Missouri and Kansas.
1t begins to look now as if a general
strike will soon be ordered. The exec
utive board has been told by a large
number of non-union miners that they
would support such a strike on the bas-
is of eight hours work, So cents a ton
for mine run coal IN the summer and GA
cents per ton in the winter.

roPEKA,s GROWTH.

The returns of the city assessor con-
vey the gratifying confirmation of To-
pelxa's progress. For several months
people have known that the city was
enjoying an era of prosperity but the
information was general and lacked
official PRONUNCIATION.
An increase of 1000 in population dur
ing a single year is little less than phe-
uomenal when it is considered that
the growth is healthy and permanent
There is no boom in Topeka What the
city has will not be lost by a backward
turn of the wheels of progress.
The capital city is the best town in
Kansas and always will be. It's natural
advantages are not excelled and no
city in the United States has more
beautiful streets or a better class of in
habitants. Kansas people are slowly
learning the lesson Of home patronage
and the time has gone when people con-
sidered it necessary to go to Missouri
for everything needed-even in the way
of entertainment.
Kansas has refused to enrich Kansas
City by patronizing her fall festivities
and the result was apparent-the fes-
tivities are a failure.
Topeka can furnish Kansas all that
is needed. Topeka will continue to
grow and will always be the best city
in the best state in the universe.

WORST NIGHT NOISE.

LFrom the New York SUM-

gamut of nightly recurring SOUNDS TO
go by, and can conjure the particular
degree of hopelessness and aggravation
evoked by each in turn but to me the
sound of sounds most calculated to set
the nerves on edge is the 'Whop! Whop.
whop!' of a woman's skirts shaken out
of an upper window at midnight or
close on to midnight.
"A householder over the way here is
given to striking up his full-toned par
lor organ toward the small hours. An
other neighbOr makes it practice TO
let out his house-bound dogs for exer-
else around the block at the same I'M
seasonable time. They are big dogs,
and enjoy the chance. There is some
times a great clatter when the maids
next door get to shying tins and heavy
objects at the cat that prowls in the
area, and there is the usual number or
whirring, gOng-sOunding electric CAPS
and late scurrying hansoms in this
neighbOrhOod. But no one of these
sounds, all put together, can COM
pare in efficacy with that clothes-shak-
ing business. The half-muffied, dOmes-
tic sort of sound is as much more audi

ALGER IS STUBBORN.
Determined to Have Volunteers

Washington, May 22.-In anticipation
of the prompt return of the volunteer
troops in the Philippines the secretary
of war today telegraphed instructions
to Gen. Shafter, commanding the de-
partment of California at San Francisco
to establish a, model camp at the Presi-
dio for the accommodation of about 1000
volunteers from Manila pending their
muster out. Gen. Shafter is instructed
particularly to make ample provision

He is informed that big sacks are to

it advisable. The returning troops will

fits. The quartermaster's department
has been ordered to supply the neces-
sary tents to the camp at the PresidiO.

CHILD MURDER.
Horrible Crimes Committed by Wo-
men at Waimea.

Seattle, Wash, May 22.-The follow
ing Honolulu advices have been re-
ceived by the British steamer Garone:
With a view of restricting Japanese
immigration into Hawaii the executive
counsel proposes to limit the number of
permits issued so as to maintain on the
respective plantations force of that
nationality not greater than the num-
Der of laborers of all other nationalities.
This will go into effect in July.
"A horrible crime occurred at Waimea
on May 2. The wife of a ranchman
killed her little step-daughter by brutal
ly beating her with a heavy stick. The
crime was witnessed by a youngster
who went to a neighboring house and
told the story. So enraged was the
woman of the house on hearing of the
crime that she rushed to the other wo-
mans cabin bent on Furnishing the step
mother. She did not attack the MUIR
deress, but dashing through the door,
caught up the wOman's own child, also
a little girl, and threw the little one
head first against the wall, breaking
her neck. The two women soon came to
realize the enormity of their crimes and
buried the children together. They
swore the other child to secrecy, but it
told other neighbors and the women
were arrested.
There is a great scarcity of meat on
the islands, due to the fact that much
pasturage land has been planted with
sugar and the native herds have con-
Sequently been much reduced.

Misuse of Excursion Tickets.

Suppose a man buys an excursion
ticket at a reduction of IS. on condi
ton that he will not transfer the ticket
to anybody else. That is equivalent to
making a contract with the company
that in consideration of S., value re-
ceived, he will do or not do certain
things. What moral right has he to
violate that contract? BY selling the
ticket he commits a deliberate fraud
upon the company. which in effect paid
him not to sell it. 1t is as
if man rented house and
grounds, and in consideration of
getting cheaper rent. agreed not
to keep animals or poultry on the place.
He has not bought any absolute right
to do as he pleases on the premises, but
merely the right to live there under
certain restrictions. Because he ac-
cepts those conditions he gets a cheap
err rent. If he wants the absolute right
to do as he will with the place. he must
pay more rent, or buy it outright. Or,
it is as if a man hires a saddle horse
for the season, and by agreeing not to
use it for carriage driving gets it for
considerably less money. 1t is just as
reasonable to argue that he has the
absolute right to use the horse for car
riage driving as it is to say that
