Warning LETTER
Addressed TO Cudahy by Kidnap-
ers of His Child.
Threaten to Take Another I'm
less Reward Is Withdrawn.

Omaha, Neb.. Dec BE A. Cudahy
the millionaire packer. has received a
second communication from the men
who kidnapped his son This time, as
formerly. the letter contains a threat,
and says in substance that unless he
withdraws his offer of s25. 900 for the
arrest and conviction of each of the
three bandits. they viii kidnap another
Of his children.
The letter refers to the failure of the
police to get anything like a tangible
clue as to the identity of the kidnapers.
SCOTS at the idea of Pat Groves being
one Of them. mentions the ease with
which the first job was pulled off, and
concludes by saying that if Mr.. Cudahy
first instance he viii comply with the
request and withdraw the rewards at
once.
This letter is written in pen and ink
on the same kind Of yellow paper as
the first. and evidently by the same per-
son. II was found by a servant of the
Cndahy household early on the morning
of Thursday, December II. Some one
called up the house by telephone, and
asked If Mr.. Cudahy was in The serv-
ant answered that he was not.
Well" came the voice over the
phone, you can go out in the front
yard and you'u find a letter there near
the gate It's addressed to Mr. Cu1aIy.
See that its delivered to him personally
and to no one else"
The servant went out at once and
found a letter. It was in a plain white
envelope and was addressed. Mr.. T. a.
Cudahy, sr. Personal and private
Mr.. Cudahy, who was then at his
packing house in South Omaha, was
summoned home at once. No one was
permitted to see the letter at first ex-
cept Mr. and Mrs. Cudahy. Mr.. Cud-
ahy's intention at the time was to keep
its contents to himself, as the bandits
had requested. but later he thought
better of it. as he believed that, in the
hands of the police, it would prove a.
valuable clue. 50 he took Chief Donahue
into his confidence.
They held a consultation at the chiefs
Office which lasted nearly three hours.
The chief was seen afterward, but re-
fused to disclose the nature of the sub
ject discussed. Mr.. Cudahy says he has
not withdrawn the reward, nor viii he
do so. The reward offered stands as
originally announced.
There can be no doubt said Chief
Donahue. that there was a woman in
the Cudahy case. and I have reason to
believe that that woman is still in
Just why I think So But have no faith
in this sweetheart business. Grove was
not a woTnan'S man. So far as my
knowledge of him goes he was never
known to be mixed up with a woman In
a love affair. and if he took one into his
confidence in this case it was for bust
ness reasons purely. And it is not d1fa-
cult to understand why a woman was
pressed into service in this matter. A
woman could pick up a little girl on the
street and carry her away easily, where,
il a man would attempt it the child
would scream and be frightened into
mysteries So I think this accounts for
the appearance Of the woman in the
case
7 can say. however, that the police
are looking for no particular woman at
this time"

He put his hand in the satchel and

locked the satchel.

The porter reached the platform in

ssYes, my false beard The passengers

HOW SHE cor A PENSION.

TFrom Washington Evening Star.1
A pension has been allowed recently
to the widow of a soldier Of the Sixth
United States cavalry for whose death
the beneficiary was responsible. Wbile
this startling fact would seem to debar
the widow. the peculiar and interesting
circumstances of the soldiers demise
rendered it proper for the pension Off
ciaIs to pass favorably upon her apph-
cation.
It appears that the soldier. according
to the coronerss verdict. came to his
death May {, 1888, through choking with
d leather watch chain in the hands of
his wife while she was protecting her
life The Widows statement before the
jury disclosed q remarkable series of in
cidents, and was corroborated in all es-
sential respects by other witnesses She
testified that her husband had been
drinking heavily for a week. She had
gone to him at u o'clock and told him
that dinner was ready He made no re-
sponse, and after the meal was finished
and the diners had gone, he came and
told her to prepare dinner at once she
at first demonstrated. but observing a
strange look upon his face, became
frightened, and began to do as com
manded-
The husband then said with an oath
that he was going to kill her, and
struck her, knocking her against the
table. The wife then fed from the house
thinking to find some of the men about
the place who would quiet or restrain
men were pIowing and besought their
interference or protection. They refused,
saying they could do nothing with the
man. Meantime he had gathered up the
baby, mounted a horse and followed in
pursuit of her. The husband rode to
his wife, who begged him not to hurt
her. He replied with an oath that he
would break her bones, and would kill
her-that she must die. He then threw
the baby to the ground, pulled his six
shooter from his belt, tried to make his
horse run over her, and reaching out
trying to strike her with his revolver.
As he leaned over he fell from his horse
to the ground on his side and back In
falling he fell against his wife, knocking
her down. She jumped up, threw her
self upon her husband, intending to get
his revolver away from him. She laid
hold of his leather watch chain, which
he wore around his neck. This leather
guard fastened with a. slip-knot. The
wife clutched the chain with one hand
and with the other held one of her hus-
bands hands She was exhausted, and
lay in that condition for four or five
minutes. He did not struggle, but made
q queer noise in his throat
When the woman recovered she arose,
hid the revolver. and ran to the house
When the men went to where her hus-
band lay they found him dead. The wife
had unintentiona1ly strangled her hus-
band Her pension has been granted,
and TODAY she is drawing IS a month

THE FEATHER FASHION.

TF.ron the Humane Review
Here is a passage from a pamphlet re-
printed d couple of years ago from the
sFOne Of the commonest as well as the
saddest sights in London is the eldeztsT
lady taking her airing in carriage or
bath chair in Hyde Park or some other
public place. in appearance SO bent and
discolored and wasted with age anu
many infirmiIies as to remind the spec
tator Of a corpse. her bowed mead
crowned with white egrets' feathers torn
from birds that were slaughtered when
feeding their y0ungi To man who has
any love of nature. and of natures most
beautiful children, such a spectacle is
ghastly and repulsive in the extreme: he
remembers that he once had q mother,
and is glad to think that she passed
away a long time ago. since if she had
lived down to within recent years she
might not have escaped the contagiou
of rI1is hateful fashion among women
This is a sample of the severe things
that have been said by me and by scores
OF writers in England and America, and
thess. things have been printed and re-
printed IN journals and as leaflets and
pamphlets, and have been blown like
thistIedovvn all over the kingdom and
over the English speaking world, so that
no woman IS ignorant of what has been
said: and it has produced no effect That
is to say no apprecfable effect the few
women here and there who refuse to
wear feathers. even when assured by the
ments that they are artificial and not
birds feathers at all are probably re-
garded as eccentrics by their sisters
Feathers still decorate and degrade the
majority of women of all ages, and Of
all social grades, from the poorest dwell
Iers in the slums to the duchess and
the daughter of a hundred earls, and the
one wife of the sanity and eloquent &C.
