ant that the court appoint commits
sioner to take evidence. He urges the
court to compel Hon. Daniel ]. Ryan
and Hon. D. X. Watson to furnish the
names of parties who made the offers
and representations set forth.
The attorney general further de-
clares that the stockholders and Of
f1cers representing the Standard Oil
company that Charles B. Squires
claimed were the parties through
whom the proposition had in some
way come to him were Frank Rookie
Teller, Of Cleveland, stakeholder Of
the Standard OIL company; F. B.
Squires, secretary of the Standard Oil
company, and Charles N. Haskell, late

The attorney general says that to as
certain in what way Charles B. Squires
received his communications from the
above parties the state will be compell-
ed to take testimony under an order
of the court.
"The only agent or employe of the
Standard Oil company" the attorney
general says, that plaintiff can fur
nish the court without legal process

Parish, a negro Is years old, was ,shot
and killed yesterday by John Meyers,
white. Meyers, it is said, caught the
negro attempting Z fslonious assault
upon Mrs. Kate Haier, an aged Wits
woman of Sulphur Springs Hollow. ~
Parish started to run away Meyers
fired and almost instantly killed him.

Parish attempted similar assault
upon Mrs. Mics earlier In the after
noon, but had been frightened of be-
fore accomplishing his purpose. A cor

shooting was justifiable, and Meyers,
who was in Jail on a warrant charging

New York, May 9.-The police yes
terday turned over to the secret SER
vice authorities Randolph Meyers, ar
rested while attempting to pass a
counterfeit 50 bill. The bill is of the
issue Of 1891, bearing the Mcpherson
head, the same bill which was counter
feitod extensively by gang of Scicil-
ians last winter, and for which offense
number of the men are now serving
sentences in prison. 1t is, however,
much more clever imitation of the
genuine bill. 1t is regarded as a very
dangerous counterfeit, especially when
it becomes worn by use, when it is al
most impossible to distinguish it from
a genuine bill.

AMERICAN APPROVAL.
Italian Minister Says We Sanctioned
San-Mun Seizure.


Rome March 16.-1n the chamber of
deputies yesterday Admiral Canevaro,
minister of foreign affairs, made a
comprehensive statement regarding
1taly's action in China. lie confirmed
the reported recall of Signor MARITIME,
Italian minister at Picking, and an
nounced that Italy had obtained the
approval of the United States before
making the demand regarding San
Nun.
Great Britain, however, had request
ed that force should not be employed,
and promised i'm return to give her
diplomatic support to Italy at the
court of Picking.
Other friendly powers, the minister
continued, were notified and indicated
their acquiescence. He expressed con-
fidence in the ultimate success of
Italy's policy and reminded the cham
Der that Italy's duty was to refrain
from force so far as possible since she
had gone to China without any pre-
vious provocative incident or violated
rights to justify resort to violence,
which might, if adopted, disturb the
international equilibrium in the far
east and exercise a fatal reflex action
in Europe besides injuring Breat Brit
ain, who had proved herself Italy's
cordial friend, and exposing to con
fiict other powers that had shown
themselves well wishers of Italy.

A Birthday Brcakfast.

Cincinnati Tribune: In these days
OF rush and hurry-this dreadful hur-
~ which even controls reading and
thinking-we become Obvious, or it
would seem SO, of the personnel of our
homes. Husbands, wives and children
become secondary considerations. To
counteract this tendency, let us re-
member the birthdays of the men,
bers of our households. Give to them
personally at least one day in 1868.
Common holidays, as Christmas and
New Years, with their gifts, have
strongly the flavor of fashion. A birth
day remembrance is personal one,
which brings much of that delightful
Just for me" satisfaction.
Birthday breakfasts in our homes
have been happy affairs. Pleasant sur
prises always give pleasure, and many
times has the one for which such
breakfast was prepared been apprised
of the fact that another milestone In
lifc's journey was reached which
would have been UNDECIDED but for
this lovingly prepared reminder.
Meals planned for later in the day
SAVIOR more of "just for anybody" per-
haps for company. The meal need
not be an expensive one or consist Of
many courses, but let it be as tasty
and dainty as is possible.
The best of dishes, of course, and
the choicest table linen are to be used.
Let thoughtfulness and love be every
where evidenced. These are the fairies
that make the coarsest food and the
plainest tableware surpass the most
delicate viands and the exquisite china
if the evidence of their presence is
wanting. Try birthday breakfast
| and the presenting of the gifts at this
hour, whether they are large or small
BE sure to have the Just for you,'
with much of love, very evident.
