PENALTY FOR MATRIMONY.
Evanston Bachelor Girls VIII Here
after Dine at the Expense of
the Little God.

Members Of the bachelor Girls club.
OF Evanston. ILL.,, held Il secret council
the other night debating the most eff
f~ective method Of Furnishing their mem
bers who so far forget the vows they
take when they become members Of the
club as TO get married.
Various suggestions Of netting out
evidence Of GispleasUre were talked of,
but the one most favored is the plan
adopted by the men bachelor clubs.
Those who are contemplating the mat
rimOnial venture Will he required to
notify the club at least six weeks in ad-
vaCce of their intentions and defray the
expenses of a banquet TO which all the
Surviving" members Of the club shall
be invited.
The most serious breach in the other
wise harmonious couIuct of affairs Of
the club was madc public a short tine
ago. when one Of the members so far
forgot her club VOWS as to get married.
AS there was no adequate rule govern
ing the retribution Of those who got
married without the consent of the
club, the members are determined that
in future none shall be allowed TO get
off sc easy as did the first yiolater Of her
club oath.

STRANGE RECOVERY OF A Yin
Dropped from n Morning Pa.sepuer
Train, IL Found After Two
Days Searching.

\ woman on the Sioux City passenger
train of the Illinois Central road, while
washing her hands in the sleeping car,
dropped a valuable diamond ring into
the bowl.
The jewel went down the drain pipe
TO the track below and the owner gave
it up for lost. She reported her mis-
fortune to Conductor Frank Wiley, who
in turn notified Superintendent Dill.
Orders were given the section men Of
the nearest stations, Scales Mound and
Apple River, H., TO look over every foot
of the roadbed for the ring. The men
started on their seemingly hopeless
quest. The search resulted in the re-
covery, on the second day, Of the dia-
mond, and it has been restored to the
owner.

CORN IN EUROPE
Make A%ppropris ton for It's DEM
enstration at PARA.

Col. Clark f. Carr, Of Galesburg, ILL.,,
made an eloquent plea before the sp-
preparations committee OF the house Mt
Washington for the special recognition
of Indian corn at the Paris exposition.
He suggests the establishment OF a corn
kitchen and restaurant. which would
make distribution Of cooked a1ticles
made from Indian corr and also distrib-
ute corn meal In sample bags, accom-
panied by leaflets informing visitors
where they could secure q new supply.
Col. Carr made a strong point before
the committee by explaining that when
he went TO Denmark not a pound OF
corn meal was used in all Scandinavia,
whereas now there is an annual ship
ment OF 5000 barrels. He also showed.
that when 100000 people were starv-
ing in India corn was being burned for
fuel in our western states. He urged
that a satisfactory appropriation be
made TO teach Europeans the use OF this
distinctly American product. and he
showed to the committee that an in
crease OF only one zen a bushel in the
price would make a difference Of $50.
100000 annually TO the farmers OF the
United States and of 49, 900 to the
producers of Illinois alone. Col. Carr's
brief but forcible speech made a deep
impression upon the committee, and he
was enthusiastically applauded when
he concluded.

SALVATION AR2tY PAWNSHOP.
A Novel Method of Aiding the Poor
Has Been I~nauGurnted
in Boston.

The Salvation Army has fitted up a
storeroom in the south end Of Boston
in a thickly-settled section where the
poor live as a %pawnshop, and will go
into the business Of money lending. 1t
is designed to buy and sell secondhand
furniture and make small loans on per-
sonal property.
The idea is to save TIE poor from IN
%scrupu!ons usurers and aid The families
of drunkards. Shelter will be given the
wife and children of a drunkard in the
event of their being turned out by a
landlord for n%onpayment of rent and
their furniture will be stored until the
husband reforms.
There will be no attempt to make
large profits in money lending. A low
rate Of interest will be charged and like
arrangements will be MADE in relation
TO the furniture. In every case the
names of those doing business with the
establishment are to be kept secret.

WEALTH FOR SALVATION ARMY
Benedict, of Boston
Gives @25O,OOO o Stun
Work.

A large part of the estate Of Wash
ington Il. Benedict, the real estate and
electric railroad operator who died at
Boston, has been given to various
churches Of the city and to the Saliva
ton Army.
The will of the t~estator, containing
these requests, was filed in the Suffolk
county probate Office. The amount OF
the estate is not ascertainable, but 1t Is
reported to be in the neighborhood of
81 100000.
The Salvation Army's share is about
one-fourth and the money is TO be used
for slum work. The requests to the
three churches provide that the money
be used for city missionary work.

In q Little over Five fesfs ~
Gained Eight Pounds In
Weight.

While fishing through the Ice at Dels-
van, Wis.,, the other day Tim Smiley
hooked a pickerel that gave him an ex-
citing fight, and when finally landed
weighed 2i% pounds. While the fsh
lay on the ice beating its tail ~convulsive-
~ the fisherman was startled 70 hear q
strange metallic sound and 10 see q
piece OF bright substance flashing in
the sun. Upon examination IT was
found TO be a tag placed there by the
director in charge OF the fisheries ex-
hibit at the Columbian exposition.
This aluminium tag had been fastened
by a ring through the tail Of the fish.
On one side is stamped the Fisheries
building, and on the other: From the
Fisheries Exhibit at the Worlds Co
lumbar Exposition, 1893. Age, five
years. Weight, IA pounds" The tag
has the appearance Of oxidized silver,
but Is very hard. The edges are worn
away, but the engraving is clear and
distinct.
Smiley, who worked as a farm hand
for several different people during the
summer, lives by himself in a cabin
back from the lake about two miles. He
says he intends 10 have the fish pre-
served, with the medal attached, and
may present it TO the Field Columbian
museum. Fishermen there think the
dates and weights will be valuable in
determining the age OF fish Of this

JUST FOR A JOKE.
Missouri Wits Lynch a Dummy and
Fool Whole Town.
Frightened Citizens Hear Attack on
jail and the Prisoner Plead for
Ills life and See Supposed
Victim Hanged.

Ten masked men. with a dummy man
and an old clothesline. made a number
Of people believe the other night at
Kansas City. Mo-. that Ernest eleven
ger, who shot George Allen and Della
Clevenger al a district schoolhouse a
few night ago., was being lynched. The
street lights were turned off a few min
utes after ten o'clock and a party OF
men were heard TO rush from the north
west corner of the square TO the court
house. A number Of men and boys
have been staying up nightly since
Clevenger was brought here, expecting
a lynching. With hatchets the mob"
banged on the Jail doors and an old
piece Of sheet iron. In the meantime
a crowd was gathering and listened
breathlessly on the south side Of the
square. Shortly they heard a man beg
ging for his life and he was marched TO
the courthouse front. where Jones was
lynched three months ago. The man
was asked II he had anything to say,
and he made the plea that he was drunk
when he did the deed.
THAT won't do" said the leader.
Give him what happened to Jones'"
The rope was placed on the dummy
and the crowd acros the street saw II
swing to the porch railing, firmly be-
lieving that Cleyenger had been
lynched. The mob went out the back
way and quietly dispersed" after
frightening u few men and causing
them to run back home.
A large number of spectators crossed
into the courthouse yard, but did not
get close enough to discern the joke.
Coroner Rowell and Sheriff Jake Hy-
mer were notified. The coroner was
first TO arrive and, after feeling the
pulse Of the dummy, announced that
the body would not be taken down until
the sheriff arrived. 1t was not long
until Sheriff Hymer and Deputy Van
Dyke came running up.
Shall we cut the rope, or do you want
to save it, Mr.. Sheriff." said the cor
oner.
Save il TO use on some of that mob"
was the mad reply OF the officer.
At this pointthe joke was discovered.
Clcyenger was told beforehand by the
what they intended to do and he
not frightened.
