WENT EAST TO HER DEATH
TRAGIC END OF A YOUNG WoM-
AN FROM TECUMSEH. A CASE
OF MURDER AND SUICIDE.

Tecumseh, Neb., July 81. MFR. aud
Mrs. w, L. Dunlap, OF Tecumseh,
have received the news of the death
OF their daughter. Grace e. which
occurred in Washington, Pa, Tues
day, July I. The death OF the young
woman is surrounded with tragic
circumstances and most of the par
ticulars Of the affai S are not under
stood by the family here.
1t seems that Miss Dunlap taught
school in Edgcmont S. d., last year,
aud while 50 employed formed the
acquaintance of Rev. A b. Young,
pastor of the Presbyterian church in
that city. He was q very prominent
young man, had the confidence Of his
fellow citizens and appeared to be
leading raight-fOrward christian
life, but later d vel lpmentS are very
much to the contrary. The friend
ship between the young minister and
Miss Dunlap ripened into love, and
they became engaged to marry. This
was known to her parents.
Miss Dunlap left Tecumseh July 1,
ostensihly for the purpose of going
to Lincoln to have her eyes treated,
but it seems she did not tarry in the
capitol city. She went on tic Pitts
burg, Pa and was there married to
Rev. Mr.. Young. From Pittsburg
they went Immediately to Washing
ton, and going to the leading hotel
Of the place, Rev. Mr.. Young in
formed the night clerk, for it was
late when they arrived there, that
he had mis- wife with him and de-
sired room. They were ushered to
one, and that vas the last time
either was seen alive. A disturbance
was heard from their room during
the night hut the hotel people paid
no attention to it. Upon their fail
ure tn arise the next morning, how
ever, their room was forced open and
a sight was beheld which was hor-
rihe In the extreme. The woman
lay on the bed with two big holes in
her heart, while the man was
stretched out on the floor with a sim
liar wound. His hands were thrown
over his head, and in one OF them
he clutched a32-caliber reyolver-the
weapon which had done the fatal
work.
The Rev. Mr.. YoupGs parents, re-
speCted and well-to-do people who
live in little town in Pennsyl-
vania were Informed OF the tragedy,
and took the remains OF both thG
victims to their home town and there
buried them. Presumably, they die
not know who the relatives Of the
woman were, for they sent no wore
to this city.
From what can be learned it would
seem that the Rev. Mr. Young was
a rascal in the fullest se7se of the
term. 1t appears that he had moi
only played crooked in tinancia
way in places where he was employed
before going TO Edgemont, but that
he was previously married, had Sc
cured no divorce from his former
wife and that he deserted her anc
his little son
1t is a very unfortunate affair, anG
the relatives Of the woman In Te
cumseh have the sympathy of all il
their affection.

China Lore For Amateurs.

The amateur china collector Is often confused by the terms hard paste and ''soft paste.' The Ladies' World explains them thus; The paste is the clay of which the article is made.
 Hard paste Is made of natural clays, and when broken shows bright and sparkling. In hard paste articles the rim on which they rest is left without q glaze, which is an easy method of distinguishing them, These hard paste porcelains were made at Plymouth, Bristol and Liverpool. Oriental china is also hard paste.
 Soft paste Is more porous and dull, very often creamy in tint. Soft paste wares were made in many places in England, such as Bow, Chelsea, Worces- ter, Derby, Staffordshire, etc.
 The glaze must be distinguished from the paste. It Is the glassy cover ing of the paste. It may be hard or soft, the hard paste feeling cold and glassy to the touch, the soft paste rather soft and gummy.

WAGES REDUCED.
Dominion Iron and Steel Workers Get
 Gut.

Halifax, Nov 1s.-The Dominion Iron and Steel Co posted notices yesterday of a reduction of wages of all its en- ployes. The notice was as follows:
 Beginning with December 1, 1903, all the wages and salaries of the em- ployes of the Dominion Iron and Steel Go will be reduced from 10 to 93 1-3 per cent. Common laborers will re- ceive $1.25 per day. Signed, David Baker, Manager"
 The bulletin issued to the machinists notifies them of reduction of 15 per cent and furnace men 20 per cent. The reduction will affect the whole plant from officials to laborers.
 The workingmen do not take kindly to the reduction and strike talk is al- ready heard. The employees generally are members of the Provincal Work ingmen's association and joint meet ing of all the lodges has been called to discuss the situation. It is thought the matter will be referred to the grand court for final action, and the men believe q general strike will be inaugurated on December 1, The com pany's managers in Sydney say that the cut was made because the United States Steel corporation had made a reduction of the salaries of their em- ployes and the company was forced to make the cut in order to compete with the American company.

Mayor Elect Mcclellan Tn His Vale-
 dtctory Favored the Cuban BilI.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The house resumed consideration of the Cuban bill. The only notable incidents of the day were the speeches of MT. Stevens, a Republican member from Minnesota, who spoke in opposition to the bill. and the speech of Mayor Elect Mcclellan of New York. MT. Stevens opposed the measure for reciprocity with Cuba at the last session. He argues that the bill is a "cruel blow at one of the most promising agricultural industries of this country and that the measure will imperil our vast foreign trade. MT. Mcclellan delivered his valedictory to the house, making an argument in f& vor of the bill, during the course oa which he criticised the administration of General Wood in Cuba and charged the Republicans with responsibility for what Is lacking in the fulf1llment of the duty of the United States to Cuba. Mir. Mcclellan said:
 Two years ago Cuba was on the verge of bankruptcy, and that she has escaped ruin Is not due to any effort on our part. That she has been able to ex- ist at all during the last two years Is because of two reasons--frst, the change in her government; second, the marketing of an increased amount of tobacco and sugar.
 "In 1902 the spectacular and extrava- gant rule of General Wood having sad dled upon Havana for ten years the in famous gambling monopoly of the Soci- edad Anonima Jai Alai, gave place to the conservative &, economicah sensible and businesslike administration of President Palma, who has proved him. self an executive of the very highest order. a..-s
 Tn other words. under President Els trada Palma the cost of government Is over $7,000,00o less per Snnum than it was under General Wood. And now at last, after years of waiting. after the spectacle of an insolent lobby pract- cally dominating the congress. we pro- pose to partially fulfill our pledge to Cuba by giving her this tuppeny meas ure of relief that is warranted not to offend the susceptibilities of the most sensitive trust in existence"
