turned out, however, that the Negro
was not dead, and with the applica-
ton Of proper restorative remedies he
has become entirely we'll and is now
sitting up and enjoying life probably.
At any rate, he Is living. and the ques-

what shall be done about 1t, wheth-

must be hung again to satisfy the de-
mands Of law.
Manila cable Of May /: Governor
Cailles, Of Laguana province, and a
party Of volunteers yesterday captured
Rios. the fanatical Filipino leader, in
that part Of the Island Of Luzon. Rios
was formerly a blacksmith Of Tayabas
and claimed to be Of divine origin.
He attracted many followers and start
ed an insurrection which the constab-
ulary suppressed. He fled to the noun
tains and later claimed the title OF
Pope Of Luzon," and also asserted he
was a prophet. Governor Cailles cap
tured Rios in the disguise the latter
had worn when appearing as "proph-
et." He Is said to be guilty Of many
crimes and will probably be tried for
murder.
Charlotte Observer. What does 1t
all mean? In the ceremonies at st.
Louis last week Mr.. Grover Cleveland
was easily the central figure. His vis-
1t was q continual ovation. Friday
night banquet was given to the
many Washington correspondents in
the city. Mr.. Cleveland was present
and the banquet took the form Of a
demonstration in his honor. When he
arose from his seat to acknowledge the
compliments, the 800 guests sprang to
their feet, waving their napkins and
shouting. He spoke brilliantly, and
when he concluded the audience start:
ed the refrain, -Four years more Of
Grover" Every day newspapers and
individuals are prophesying that he
will be the Democratic nominee for
president next year; his praises are
sounded from one end Of the land to
the other; criticism Of him has ceas-
ed, except in Nebraska, and he who,
six years ago was the best hated man
in the country, is in danger Of becom-
ing again the most popular. What
does it ali mean?
Justice has followed with leaden
heel the murderers of Governor Goe-
bel, Of Kentucky, but 1t Is overtaking
them one by one. Powers has been
duly punished, Youtsey is in the peni-'
tentiary, and Howard was last week
convicted and sentenced. The public
will never feel, however, that the ends
of the law have been met until pun
ishment Is visited upon William
Taylor, who was the governor Of the
state at the time Of the assassination
and who is believed to have been the
chief conspirator. His flight to Indi-
ana, where he has been since the law
got on his trail and where he has been
protected by Governor Durbin, who
has refused to honor acquisitions for
him-these are confessions Of his
guilt and proof that the governor Of
Indiana believes in it. There have
been in the annals OF history few more
brutal crimes than this assassination
Of Goebel, and the majesty Of the law
will not have been vindicated until all
concerned in it shall have been made
to smart for the bloody deed.
London cable of May 2: Lord
Kelvin, the distinguished scientist, In
moving a vote Of thanks to Prof.
Henslow for his lecture before the
University College Christian associa-

gin of life, science neither affirmed nor

thing so absurd as to believe that a
number Of atoms falling together Of

A pitched battle, in which prayer
books and broken furniture were the
missiles, took place in the Slavonic
Roman Catholic church at Joliet, ILL.,,
last Sunday, and when the police ar
rived to quell the disturbance the bel
ligerents turned from each other and
united their forces against the off,
GERS. The fight, which grew out Of
factional differences, resulted in no
serious bodily harm to any Of the 200
men, women and children who were in
the church when it began, but the pam
ic among the affrightened women and
children was the cause Of severe
bruises. Bloody and lacerated faces
and hands were evidence Of the fierce
ness Of the contest and the protests Of
Father Kollar and others were una
vailing to restore peace. The men had
