Croker as a Social Lion.

A cablegram from London brings
the interesting information that the
New York Tammany chief, Richard
Croker, is posing as social lion
across the pond. His picture appears
in several of the prominent journals,
and as the comments are more of an
admiring nature than otherwise, it is
not unlikely that the Tiger majesty
will take his place beside the Prince
of Wales in the exclusive set of
London.
Mrs. Croker is a member of the
Green Park Club, an exclusive organ
ization, which has three of the royal
princesses among its members and
any number of women of title. One
of the rules of the club is that every
woman must be eligible for presenta-
ton at the Court of st. James. AS
Mrs Croker is a member of the club,
she must, of course, be eligible, and
will doubtless duly make her bow to
the Queen.
1t is even whispered that Mr..
Croker has some idea of making quite
prolonged visit this time to Eng
land. At any rate, an agent is nego-
tiating a residence for him in one Of
the fashionable West End streets, and
it is said that one of his sons is to pass
a year or two either at Oxford ol
Cambridge University.
Mr.. Croker is not at all unpopular
in London. On the contrary, he has
many friends, and, as among a great
number of people who do not know
any better, all American politics are
regarded as corrupt. The Tammany
chieftain is regarded by Engllshmer
with very much the same sort o.
esteem as was accorded fifty year.
ago to members of Parliament whC
obtained seats in the House by un
blushing bribery and corruption, anC
seemed to be proud of the meaus they
employed.

MISS BILLsTEIN'S TRIAL.

The PIttsburg Matricide Takes the

be insanity, the direct result of shock
sustained at the time the prisoners
father dropped dead at the breakfast
table some time previous to the muir

Miss Bertha Billstein was the first
witness called in her own defense. She
told of the great affection existing
between her father and herself and of
the effect his sudden death had on her.
She said:
"It was an exceedingly great shock,
one from which have never recov-

she said that persons in this world
can communicate with persons in the
other"
The witness then told of visiting
mediums In Chicago, who told her that
her father was lonely, and would not
be happy until she and her mother
were with him. Then she told Of the
killing of her mother, giving her tes-
timony in a clear tone of voice. She
remembered only shooting herselfonce.

AMERICA AND ENGLAND
Will Stand Together in the Cars
Disarmament Conference.
WILL ADVOCATE ARBITRATION


For the Settlement of International
Disputcs--Our Delegates Committed
TO the Arbitration Project More
strongly Than to Any other Subject.
Washington, May 10.-The United
States and Great Britain will stand
together in the advocacy of the adop-
tion of a scheme for the settlement o.
international disputes by arbitration
which will be presented to the disarm-
ament conference at its meeting in The
Hague on the 10th day of the present
month. The American delegates, head
ed by Ambassador White, are equip
ped with fairly digested plan for the
execution of this long cherished pro-
ject, while the British delegates are
prepared with a plan which is almost
identical with the American project.
The details cannot be procured for
publication in advance of the pre-
sentation of the projects to the con-
ference It is known, however, that
there are essential differences between
this last plan and that embodied in the
treaty drafted by Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote, which failed of
action in the senate when submitted
for ratification. The differences are
rather in the methods provided for
securing an impartial adjudication
than in the principles of the former
convention, eand it is believed that on
these points the British and American
propositions are not precisely similar.
1t cannot be said that the American
delegates go to the conference with
any strong expectations that their own
scheme for securing the adjustment of
disputes by arbitration, or, indeed, any
project of the kind, will secure the
adhesion of the entire conference, or
even a majority of the delegates. But
they are content to plant the seed and
made a beginning which, it is hoped by
the president and Secretary Hay, will
in the end have substantial results
The American delegates go committed
to this arbitration project much more
strongly than to anything likely to
| figure before the conference.
Regarding disarmament, their in
structions are to tell the conference
that the present armament of the Uni
ted States and any within the possi-
bilities of the future are so far below
the present minimum ornaments with
which any of the great powers of Eu-
rope are likely to be content that there
is really no reason why the United
States should be called into the agree
ment
Other points upon which the dele
gates have been instructed are the
exemption from seizure of individual
property and the extension of the Red
Cross rules to warlike operations at
sea- AS to the former the president
expressed himself very strongly in his
last message to congress, and the dele
gates go charged to give practical eff
feet to these views. Another point in
the instructions is that relating to the
amelioration of the horrors of war
and with this, too, the American dele.
gates are deeply concerned.

THE MONSTER STEEL TRUST.
No Foreign Company Would Be Biz
Enough TO Compete.

No Foreign Company Would Be Big
Enough TO Compete.
Chicago, May 10.-The Tribune says:
Representatives Of two of the big cor
poratiOns which rumor has associated
with the proposed $500, 100000 COM
bination of iron and steel industries,
declared yesterday that material prog
ress had been made during the day.
The plan, already exploited to con-
siderable degree, is to absorb mines,
mills, railroads and factories. The
two representatives in question said
the following corporations, giving the
capital stock of each, were to be in
cluded: The Carnegie companies,
$3.50 900, 900; Federal Steel company,
500 900, 900; American Steel and Wire
company, 100000, 600; National Steel
company, $4,000, 900; American Tin
plate company, $50,000,000; Republic
Steel company, s50,000,000 American
Steel Hoop company, $33,000,000.
The figures given of the Carnegie
companies are less than the accepted
estimate of the amount invested. 1t
is said if the great trust is formed the
Carnegie concerns will represent no
less than $300,000,000 of its capital.
The Federal Steel company has an au-
thorized capital of 5000, 100000, but
only one-half of it will be taken, it is
said.
One thing it is proposed the trust
shall do, the representatives stated,
is to take in the iron and steel plants
of Importance which are still inde-
! pendent concerns. None of these is
| large when compared with the trusts,
| but they are considerable industries.
The largest Of these are: Jones &
| Laughlin company, Pittsburg, capital
$40 900, 900; Cambria Steel company,
capital $4,000. 900; Scranton Steel COM
pany, capital $5,0O0,000.
Several of the promoters asserted the
consolidation could obtain business
that none of the trusts is able to con-
/ troll. 1t will undertake to capture the
! business of European concerns, they
| contended, and furnish rails and steel
plates for European railways and war
ships. No foreign company, they as
sert, is big enough to be a formidable
competitor

senting the BrideRroom's Age.
Baltimore, May 10.-Mrs. Maggie
May Rogerson Schwab was last night
locked up in the central police station
charged with falsely swearing to an
application for a marriage license, and
her recently acquired father=in-law

1t is alleged that Mrs. Schwab, then
a handsome widow, aged "a, applied
for and received a marriage license for
herself and John H. Schwab, swearing
that the age of her prospective spouse
was % years. The couple were sub
sequently married. The groom's father,

ADMIRAL DRwEys WELCOME
New YorRers Propose TO Make It a
Record Breaker.

New YorRers Propose TO Make 10 a
Record Breaker.
New York, May 10.-At a meeting Of
the board Of aldermen yesterday an
enthusiastic resolution calling for an
official reception to Admiral Dewey
upon his arrival in this city was adopt
ed unanimously. The admiral is to be
presented with a monster testimonial
consisting of autograph letters from
nearly every member of President Nc
Kinley's cabinet, governors OF states
and prominent United States senators.
While he will be the recipient Of many
honors on his return home, this testi-
monial will be the first written evil
dence of admiration and gratitude on
the part of Americans for the victor
of Manila.
It is proposed to make Admiral
Dewey's welcome to New York a record
breaker. A s100 a plate banquet at
the Waldorf-Astoria will be one of the
big features of the day. Alfred Chas-
saud, who is the secretary of the ban
quet committee, as at present project
ed sees the way clear to its being a
$4,000 feast, but If the committee ac-
cedes-as 1t undoubtedly will-to the
suggestion that It combine with the
civic committee in making the banquet
part of the city's official program at
least 1000 will be ready to take part
in 100000 festivity.
Comptroller Coler says the city
should give Admiral Dewey such re-
ception as a hero never had before,
and President of Council Randolph G.
Guggenheimer insists that there should
be no sparing of money nor pains to
make the reception a grand and mem
orable affair. And when these two
officials are so unreserved in their ut
terances it is safe to assume that the
mayor is of the same mind. and is
only restrained from a similar declara-
tion by his unfailing custom of silence
until the time for his official action ar
rives.
Secretary Chassaud has in his pos
session the admirals letter of accept
ance He has had 1t framed. The ad-
miral simply expresses his pleasure at
receiving the invitation, and in accpet-
ing it says e.cannot say when he will
be able to leave Manila.

What Shall We Do.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails
in this country, dangerous because so decep-
tive. 1t comes on so slowly yet surely that it
is often firmly seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may be
divided into three distinct stages is, First,
Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back
lumbago, frequent desire to
urinate often with a burning sensation, the
flow of urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy
pain in the abdomen low down between the
navel and the water passage, increasing de-
sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in
passing, small quantities being passed with
difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it
with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DIR.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous
for its marvellous cures of the most distressing
cases and known as DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
1t is sold by all druggists

great discovery, Swamp Root, sample bottle

Germnnv.s- Ment Insnectfon Bnl.

Washington, May 10.-In the highest
German quarters it is stated that there
is no doubt whatever the German gov
ernment will be able to command the
requisite majority to pass the govern
ment measure relating to the inspec-
tion of meat, foreign and domestic,
now before the reichstag, and for this
reason there is said to be no ground
for the apprehension expressed in this
country that the adverse action on the
bill in committee would prejudice the
negotiations between the United States
and Germany. The bill now pending
in the reichstag is to a considerable
extent the result of negotiations be-
tween Berlin and Washington and is
acceptable to both governments.

ORDERS for American locomotives,
says the New York Times, are now ar
irving almost daily from abroad, and
it is pleasant to see, by picture in

that the great machines are not only
of American make, but that IN most
respects they embody American ideas
as to how a locomotive should be con-
strueted.

THE London Engineer pays a very
high tribute to American manufactur-
ers when it says; "While the British
manufacturer is tied and bound hand
and foot by rigid specifications,
carried out under the eyes of exacting
inspectors, American bridges, or loco
motives or engines or tools are ac-
cepted apparently on the reputation
of the makers" Thus is justified the
wisdom of Solomon, who declares
that "a good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches" With our
American manufacturers the two
seem to be closely allied.
