FOUND MURDERED AND HANGED.
Brutal Killing of Young Woman Near
Springfield, Ark.

Little Rock, Ark, April 1.-Anoth-
or mysterious hanging is reported
from Conway county.
Last Friday the daughter of Jesse
Howard, a farmer living three miles
east of Springfield, left home togo to
the field where she was stumbling
sprouts in their crop. No one hap
pened to be at work in the same part
of the field, and when night came the
Girl failed to return from her work.
When found she was swinging from a
maple limb dead and cold. The limb
to which she was tied was only about
feet high and left her feet full on the
ground, one knee even resting on the
ground. Her apron had been torn in
strips and made to serve for a hang
man 5 rope. The cOroner's Jury decid-
ed that she had first been murdered
and then hanged that it might as
sumo a suicidal look No motive can
be assigned for the deed
1t is a strange coincidence that
within a short distance from the
maple to which she was tied stands
a black Jack, to which an old colored
man was found tied with bride
rein about four years ago. He was
also touching the ground with his
both feet and thought to have been
murdered and hanged.

Auction of a Little Bottle.

Baltimore, Md, April 11.-Manu-
facturers of perfumeries from many
cities will attend an auction sale on
May when a pint bottle of the
strongest violet extract, valued at
81 1000, will be sold by the federal
officials. 1t was sliced for underval-
uatiOn by custom officers.
The liquid is coal tar product
called ''IOnone," generally known as
violet water, because its odor is sim
liar to that emitted by preparations
sold under that name When the
IOnone arrived IA valuation of 81 90
was placed upon it by the importers,
but the local appraisers investigated
and learned that the article was val
ued at S645 in England. where it was
placed aboard the steamer.
The duty on articles of this kind is
high, and this, with the price of
IOnone, increased the value OF the
pint bottle to 81 200.

a cruise on the United States training
ship Hartford in southern waters

voyage of 81 days the ship brought

son Cruso."
Forster says that 90 persons live
on the island and they all speak
Spanish. They acted like crazy peo-
pie when the ship put into port, so
glad were they to see some human
beings besides themselves. The is
land is ovetrun with wild goats and
horses and the people hunt the horses
and goats as Americans hunt rab-
bits.
The natives knew nothing OF the
Spanish-4merican war until told OF
it by boys on the ship. They seemed
to be glad the "Americanos" won.

{. H ALLEN ITS FIRST RULER
Puerto Rico's Governorship For Longs
Assistant


Washington. April 12-Charles H.
Allen, at present assistant secretary
of the navy, will be the first civil gov
ernor of Puerto Rico, under the pro-
vision OF the bill passed yesterday by
the house of Representatives.
While the formal tender and accep-
tance of the position cannot be made
until the President signs the bill, it
is known that President Mckinley
has been bringing pressure to induce
Mr. Allen to relinquish the care of his
considerable private interests for u
sufficient time-at least to install
the civil government of the island,
and Mr.. Allen has consented to as
sumo the new responsibilities.
lnasmuch as the act takes effect
upon the first OF next month"; there is
little time left in which to outline a
skeleton form of government. 1t is
understood that the new governor
will be taken to Puerto Rico i'll one of
the finest vessels of the navy.
Mr.. Allen is % years old and has
had experience in public affairs.
After he had made Il fortune in the
lumber business at Lowell, Mass, he
served in both branches of the leg
islature and then spent four years i'll
Congress, where he became acquaint
ed with President Mckinley. In 1861
he was defeated for governor OF
Massachusetts by Governor Russell.
When Theodore Roosevelt left the
Navy department at the beginning of
the Spanish war to become lieutenant
colonel of the Rough Riders" Mr.
Allen succeeded him. He is a person
al friend of Mckinley and often con-
suits him on matters outside OF his
own department.

A French prophecies has been
making some most direful predic-
tions of events that are to trans
pire during the year 1900. She
says it will be more terrible year
than 1870, which the Fronch con-
sidered the worst in their history.
According to her predictions,
clouds of blood and mourning are
to hang over many points of the
world, and some of the bloodiest
battles are to be fought within less
than q year after the meeting of the
peace conference. The Pope of
Rome and Queen Victoria, the
most distinguished notables of the
period, according to this prophesy,
are to pass away before spring time
and the United States is to exper-
fence much trouble in the Philip
pines, and will be unable to over
come their resistance.

Back in 1883 Mr.. William Mo
Kinley, then member of the
House of Representatives, attacked
the then secretary of the treasury,
Mr.. Fairchild, for having distribu-
ted among banks without interest
fully $59,OOO,OOO of the surplus
money that, as he put it, fought
to be in the treasury" and he
charged, with particular eloquence
and indignation, that the President
of the United States and his adj
ministration were solely RESPONSE
BILE for the congested condition of
of the treasury and the alarm that
existed about the currency situa-
ton. That was when Mr.. McKin-
ley was congressman. Now that
he is the President, his secretary
of the treasury is doing exactly the
same thing that Mr.. Fairchild did,
and more, in the same direction,
So indignant, indeed, was Con-
gresham Mckinley concerning
this outrage that in the Republi-
can Convention of 1888 he, as chair
man of the Committee on Resolu-
tions, saw that into the platform
was put a denunciation of "the
democratic policy of loaning the
Governments money with interest
to pet banks" But the President
of the United States does not fol-
low the convictions nor live up
to the beliefs of the chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions, for
he and his secretary have adopted
the policy which in '8S was de-
nounced. It is estimated that be-
fore the distribution of money
among the banks, now begun, is
completed, there will be $129,OOO,-
600 thus deposited in pet banks
without interest, which they will
loan out at from to 10 per cent.
This is the policy which the sue
cessful Mckinley adopts, and is
exactly the policy which Mckinley
struggling upward toward eminence
denounced in 1688.-Chicago Jour

Not go very long ago the people
were told that market was what
was required to mako the manu-

people are now told by the Treas

that to obtain good market abroad
