To the Eultof OF Inc Evening star.
The Star has recently published notices OF
new newsboys society, with its appeals
for support. AS one who has followed WIN
a good deal of interest the work of the
Newsboys and Childrens Aid Society for
some ten years, the writer would be glad
to know the special object of the new Or
ganiZation. Does it open a line of
work. or is II rival of the old society,
with its excellent home, It's gymnasium, Ii
brary and reading room, and room for lee
lures, music. games, &c? II 1t can do bet
ter work at less expense than the old So
ciety IL will be welcomed. If II Is simply
to duplicate work and expense have we not
already quite enough of that kind of effort?

Bar the Russian Troops
More Murders by Boxers. +"

Pekin, Tuesday, May 29.-From all
parts of the surrounding country news
is constantly arriving of fresh atroci-
ties committed by the Boxers" Three
Christian families were massacred at
Shan Lai Ying. sixty miles from Pekin,
Friday, May %.
Only two escaped.
A representative of the Associated
Press visited Fang Tai this morning.
and found the place occupied by a bat
talon OF troops. The whole railroad
station, workshops and locomotive
sheds were Quilted, and much rolling
stock was destroyed, including the i'm
perlaI palace car company. The Co
downs Chinese warehouses;. full of
valuable merchandise, were burned.
after having been looted by the rioters.
The damage is estimated as half a mill

The neighboring villagers seem to
nave joined in the attack, showing that
the movement is not confined to the
Boxers. Eight rioters who were cap
tured viii be decapitated. Riding
through the south gate of Pekin. the
correspondent found the road inside the
walls lined with troops, who greeted
the Traveller and his party with a fusil-
lade Oe stones.
The whole country is much excited.

UNCLE SANS BATHROOM.
How the Old Man Keeps Statesmen
Clean.
(Chicago Times-Herald.

1t is best to have clean statesmen, even
If they are made clean by public
charity. A Washington correspondent
says: It is not generally known that
Uncle Sam furnishes his legislators with
bath tubs and other accessories. of clean
Illness, but it is nevertheless. a fact In
the basement of the capitol are located
the congressional bath rooms where the
statesmen cleanse their cuticle at the
expense of the people. On the house side
there are fifteen tubs. while in the senate
the number is somewhat smaller They
are patronized by the statesmen at all
hours of the day. Attendants are pro-
Ylded at the expense of the government
The fact that the bathrooms are almost
constantly occupied indicates the extent
70 which the privilege of The free bath IS
appreciated. Senators and members who
live at hotels. where an extra charge is
made for a bath, usually wait until they
reach the capitol TO enjoy this luxury.
Not only are the statesmen furnished
free baths, but barbershons are provided
for their use. These are %5ell patrOnized.
as no charge is made, and the BARRIERS
turn many an honest penny. They re-
ceive good salaries from the government,
and at the same time get tips from their
patrons.

INTEREST At PRICE.
Expected That ToIliver Will Give
Battle to Outlaws.
LSpecial b Ne HeraId.

/ Price. Utah. May 30.-In the absence
Of ans news from the posses in search
of the bandits who murdered Sheriff
/ Tyler and Deputy Jenkins on last Sat
urday, a great deal of speculation is
being INDUCED in rs to the probable
route taken by the outlaws in order to
evade the officers. and at the same
time land them in d place of safety.
if such there be.
Sheriff Leamaster, with his posse,
left ThOmDsons on Monday about a.
m. This was the first posse in actual
pursuit. and figuring that it would take
him and his men tWenty-fOur hours to
reach Hill creek. the scene of the muir
der, he would be at least seventy-twO
hours behind the outlaws, who lost no
time in getting out of the country. as
evidenced by the fact that they reached
K ranch Monday evening, which is a
point about seven miles from what is
known as JenSen's ferry. which crosses
the Green river and trails directly into
the Ashley country. The estimated dis
lance covered in the travel between the
time they left the scene of thir bloody
ded and X ranch is over 100 miles.
1t IS the belief of those who have
traversed the country through which
the outlaws are travelling those who
have followed the trails upOn similar
missions, that the bandits are headed
for the Hole-in-the- Wall country. and
possibly, but not probable, for Browns
park. In reaching the latter point
from h ranch, according to those IA
mlilar with the trail, it will be more
than probable that they would drop to
the east and north Of Vernal into the
Blue mountains for about fifty miles
into what is known as lille Park.
thence TO the northwest foT a distance
Of fifty miles to Browns Park. a dis
tance OF about 100 miles from the point
where they camped on Monday night
which point they should reach not later
than Thursday.
The ger sral belief is here that Dillev
and his pals had nothing to do with
ShsFlH Flyers assassination, but that
1t IS none other thaa the Arizona ban
ais VINO escaped after doing murder
in that state
It is thought that Sheriff Leamaster
who was on the trail at least ten hours
M advance OF any of the other posses.
VIII reach the K" ranch this evening
News is momentarily expected of a baf-
Tie between Deputy Sheriff TolIiver of
U1ntah county, who started in pursuit
with a posse Tuesday morning. being al
the most but few hours behind them
IolllFer is well known IRE and has the
reputation OF being man without fear
and who will give them game to the
nnlSh should he run amuck of them
interest in the final result is bv no
means abating in this part of the coun-
Try. Every newspaper obtainabIe is
read with intense interest, and nothing
IS talked but the possibility of success
of some of the posses.

LIVELY TIMES IN CONVENTION.

Death Comes.

twenty-five years to complete a gold re-
fining machine. Samuel w. Walker. an
inventor of Omaha, was stricken with
heart disease in Brooklyn and died to-
day, aged As years.
Walker believed he had found a prac-
teal way to recover gold from the
crude ore by a dry process. He de-
veloped an amalgamating machine,
and after a long period of waiting he
obtained a patent His years of scien-
tihc research and the cost of perfect
ing his invention cost him a fortune.
He brought the model of his machine
to the east in the hope of interesting
capitalists in this city. Several wealthy
men became interested in Walkers
patent after his arrival in New York
Walker told his friends a few days ago
that the experiments he had bsen con-
sidering were successful in every de-
tail IT was said that Walker would
take his gold refining machine to the
Klondike, with the backing of William
