A T
About The Story of The Sixth Cav
airy Coming Through.


1t was rumored in Ell Paso ibis morn
ing that several troops of the Sixth
United States cavalry en- route &c San
Francisco would pass through the city
either this afternoon or tomorrow. A
man who registered at the Pierson as
E. F. Brewer, U. S. A., arrived in the
city Sunday afternoon and brought the
news of the proposed mobilization of
government troops in Ell PssO. Brew
err claims to be a captain in the
army.
According to the reports which he is
alleged to have made of the intention
of the governne nt, the cavalry troops
were to rendezvous here, and then be
3 . ut on to San Francisco. From there
they were, according to the story, to
be TRANSPORTED to the scene of the pres.
emit trouble In China.
The ROO which, according to the
rumor, are to be brought here are six
troops of the Third cavalry and band,
and the Sixth cavalry. The Sixth ia at
present at Fort Myer, Virginia, near
Washington. According to q story
printed in q morning paper Captain
Brewer has lately returned from the
Philippine stands.
HERALD this afternoon Captain Bre-
wer either would not, or could not,
give any Information concerning
which troops we're to rendezvous here,
and said he knew nothing definite con-
corning the time when they would
arrive. He made q visit to Fort Bliss
this morning, but returned to the
city during the afternoon.
In b United States army register
there are only two officers whose
nam es are Brewer, Captain Edwin P.
Brewer, who was made captain in the
seventh cavalry December 8, 1896,
and Captain Madison M. Brewer, as
sistant surgeon of the medical depart
ment. There is no Captain E. F.
Brewer in the register OF t q army.
Captain Loughborough at Fort Bliss
this afternoon stated that while Cap.
tain Brewer claimed to have known
him in Washington, D. c., be had nc
recollection of having ever met him.
General Manager Van Week of the
Southern Pacific railroad at Houston
wired this afternoon that he knew
nothing OF the alleged mobilization of
the trt ops near Ell Paso and that his
road was not transporting the cavalry
rumored to be on the way here.
The officers stationed at Fort Bliss
are alec in darkness and have had no
orders to arrange for a rendezvous.
It is regarded as significant that both
the railroad company and the officers
at the post have not been informed of
the action -hich It Is said, the war

found in William Rice's body after his death. 0. r. Jones, Riees valet, in the confession he made before he cut his throat in the Tombs, said he saw Albert F. Pat rick holding towel in the shape of cone over the millionalre's head. Mir. Osborne, who said he would communicate with Pro- lessor Witthause concerning the matter, declared that the autopsy had revealed a state of affairs consistent with some other things, Whether the lungs have been pre- served or not was not known at the district attorneys office, but it is believed that they are held.
 MT. David Short, who executed the will of MT. Rice, the one in which the million alre bequeathed the bulk of his fortune to Albert T, Patrick, today said:
 T went to MT. Rices apartments at the request of MT. Patrick Patrick sent a messenger to my office. 1 went over to Patricks. Patrick said to me: You are wanted up town to execute some papers, Morris Meyers went with me. He went as notary, as commissioner of ueeds. When We reached the apartments Jones let us in and escorted us to MT. Rice's room. Mir Rlce Was sitting at his desk, sort of cab met compartment, from which he drew out papers. He said to both of us:
 This is my will, gentlemen. l have sent for you 10 witness my signature
 We asked MT. Rice to read one partic- ular clause or paragraph in the will. I do not remember what the subject matter of the clause was. 1 did not pay any atten- ton to it. MT. Rice seemed to have much confidence in Meyers. He consulted him about his affairs. l did not know the con- tents of the will; the will was not read aloud l frequently executed papers for MT. Rice. l executed the assignments to Patrick"

THE MISUSE OF
 POWERFUL WORDS

Clara Sterling Doolittle in the Chicago
 Record.
 We talk sometimes with people whose conversation, as Emerson says, would lead us to suppose that they had lived in a mu- scum where all the objects were monsters and extremes. This characteristic of ex- aggeration in speech is caused not by rich ness of emotion or expression, but actually by poverty. Many persons have a small vocabulary or do not distinguish among their sensations, and consequently lack the word that in the positive degree expresses their impression. Hence they lasily take some other word and hope to make up for it's not being the right one by putting it in the superlative degree.
 The frequent use of the superlative be- sides being slovenly, Is fatiguing. We be- come weary of any unvaried extreme. How tiresome the prima donna would be if she never came down from high c! How futile the efforts to impress us of the speaker who always uses his most powerful tones! How monotonous and weak the most per feots, most awfulS,' simply perfeots'' and perfectly terribles' that we hear on all sides! We must have lights and shades and variety-some approach to the sequence and calm of ordinary life-or We grow weary.
 In being unnatural the frequently super lative involves its user in another fault untruthfulness-that is none the less real because 1t is unintentional. He does not hold the mirror up to nature" If he did he would find few superlatives. It is well nigh impossible. for example, that each of the parties attended by a young girl be- tween the ages of 15 and IS years should be more delightful than the preceding one. But she implies this when she says after each of them that she has had "the best time she ever had in her life." Would 1t not be equally emphatic and much more in accord ance with fact to call the time" good, pleasant, charming or delightful
 On account of the abuse which 1t has suf- fered the superlative has fallen into disuse of late, one purist having gone so far as to suggest that its use be limited to experts. His plan, if feasible, would work we'll The striking out of this third degree from the vocabulary of most of us would be a posi- tive benefit to our speech rather than a loss. It would make us think several times before we speak. and would force us to say something particular. Unfortunately such striking out must be voluntary, and proba- ply will not take place. If we are not ex- perts. however, and wish to use the super lative unchallenged, We must not do so pro- miscuously but must see to 1t that the idea or sensation expressed is manifestly super- lative.
 lar superlative is the misfortune that is be- falling certain strong words which depend for their power not on degree, but on origi-

THE GRAND JURY
 ACTS PROMPT TLY
Indictments Against Four Men in the Paterson, New
 Jersey Case

New York, November 2.-The grand jury at Paterson, N. J., today handed up in- dictments again Walter 0. McAlister, George J. Kerr, William A. Death and An drew Campbell. who are charged with the murder of Jennie Bosschieter, who was drugged to death on October 1S.-There were two indictments against each of the young men, one for murder and the other for rape, the first, 1t is said, also embrac- ing the latter.
 It Is said that while the grand jury was considering the case some members were disposed to return indictments against Schulterp on his own admissions as &C., cessory to the assault at least, but they were in the minority. The hackman claimed to know nothing about the condi- ton of the girl when she was bundled into his rig, and that when he arrived at the river he was coerced by the men into doing as he was told It Is alleged that in the course of the discussion of the case it was said that Jennie's heart was weak and 1t was possible that his may have been the cause of her death. There was no evidence that choloral was administered, and this point can only be obtained by the N~~NS~S cA of one of the acused men. It was said in support of the statement that death may have been due to weak heart, that on one occasion Jennie, while standing on street corner talking to two young men, fell into a faint and remained unconscious for half an hour.
 The chemical analysis of the organs Is being made at. labortary in New York where Professor Witthaus, who has figured in hn Anli the head
 It is said it may be needful to accept the confession of Campbell or Death or both as witnesses and accept pleas of guilty from them to the crime of rape only. If the chemical analysis is strong enough the confession may not be used. Even If the analysis does not establish the administra- ton of poison, though the state may elect to eliminate that feature of the matter and proceed to trial upon the assurance that 9the- violent assault caused heart failure and that would entail the death penalty as much as the administration of poison.

ported the missing. On the list is the name of Benj. Moorehouse, a clerk for Tarrant x Co. The authorities persist in declaring their belief that he is alive and purposely keeping his whereabouts secret We have detectives out for Moorehouse tnd expect to land him soon,' said District Attorney Walsh, who is assisting the fire marshal in the investigation.
 Moorehouses family and neighbors at Mont Claire, N. J., are convinced that he perished in the disaster. resident of Mont Claire, who was in New York at the time of the fire, saw Moorehouse standing in front of the building directly after the ire started, but since that time no one has seen or heard of him.
 The ire departments investigation of the explosion closed today, ai ter the testimony or Louis Patterson and George c. Thomp. son, employees of Tarrant & Co.,, had been taken.
 Thompson is bookkeeper for the firm, but he showed ignorance of what was in the storage in the upper floors and important evidence was drawn from him. He said Moorehouse, the missing clerk, was tho only man that knew just what material was in the building
 Dr. Lederle, health department analysis who examined the seven drums found In the ruins, said today that they contained analyne oil, which Is only little less ex- plosive than kerosene.

Onion Diet.

Chicago, October 9.-Onions on steaks, onions boiled, onions in salad are the rage at the University of Chicago, and it's all because Dr. Harper, the president of the institution, has been put on an onion diet
 Members of the faculty and students de- slring to emulate the illustrious example set them vie with one another in the amount of onions they can consume and the number of different dishes they can concoct from the aromatic vegetable. Some are eating onions in sincere faith in their health-giving properties; others say they are obliged to fall into line in self-defense.
 Dr. Sarah De Loss has been prescribing for President Harper, so the story goes. She believes in onions. All depends upon temperament, she maintains and the tenn perament is shown by the hair, the eyes and the face.
 There five temperaments," pr. De Loss explained to the World correspondent. First comes the motor temperament in which any disease is most likely to affect the muscles. Next is the vital tempera- ment. where the heart is most likely to be affected. ApopleXy and such diseases are common to this temperament. The bilious temperament is confined to persons of dark nalr ana eyes; the Sanguine temperament to persons of reddish hair and light-colored eyes. Last comes the nervous tempera- ment shown in persons who have the high and protruding forehead.
 II can easily prove to you the potency of onions," continued pr. De Loss, Just take a piece of limestone-be sure 1t is lime stone, however-and rub an onion upon it. You will find that the stone is soon reduced to a pulpy mass. So it is in the system. Any secretions of lime are promptly dis solved by the use of onions"

THE GOULDS
Will Pay Count Boni's Debts and Stop EszzS the Scandal

New York, November 2.-On the authority of an intimate friend of the late Jay Gould the Evening World today announces that the debts of Count Boni Castellane will be paid in full by the Goulds at once.
 The scandal attending the claims of $,- 100000 against the spendthrift of Countess Anna is to be stopped. The Evening World adds: "A lump sum will probably be con- tributed by George, Helen, Howard, Edwin and Frank Gould to wipe out these debts, as they consider that the honor of the Gould family Is involved
 Incidentally the Evening World article says: "It was elicited that the Gould mill lions have nearly doubled since Jay Goulds death, and Annals share is nearly SIS, 900, GOO and her income nearly $1,000000. The total value of the Gould estate is now over $125,- 000,0O0.

Some Items of Interest from the
 Steel City

Ensley, November 2.-(Speclal) )-The Workingmen's Municipal Club met for the purpose of organizing last night at the Laboratory Building. One of the leading subjects under consideration is the city charter, which they naturally will take a hand in. As to their political views it seems to be pretty well understood among the members that the organization will go into politics as a whole, and may, instead of endorsing any of the candidates who an- nounce themselves later, put out a full ticket from within their own organization. This would no doubt make the coming cam paign very lively one.
 The legislative committee of the Board of Trade met at pr. Cunningham's office last evening and spent considerable time in thor oughly investigating the proposed charter Other meetings will be held within the next few days and as soon as the examination IS finished special meeting of the Board of Trade will be called to hear the report of the committee.
