Members of the Family are Still Under
 Arrest


 Allentown, Pa, Oct 31.-As the result of the verdict of the coroner's jury that heard the evidence in the case of Ma bel Bechtel, the pretty mill girl whose body was found Tuesday morning In an alleyway at her home, four mem bers of the girls family, with Alois Eckstein, to whom the girl was en- gagged, were arrested last night on q warrant charging them with having concealed the girls body in the house with intent to hide the crime of mur- der and thereby being accessories after the fact. Thomas Bechtel, another member of the family, who was held awaiting investigation of the murder, committed suicide in his cell In the Central police station. The police con siIer this act as a practical acknowl- edgment of Bechtels guilt.
 The members of the girls family against whom this charge has been made are the girls mother, who is 60 years old; her youngest sister Martha. 16, and her two brothers, Charles and John. All these lived in the house at 627 Cedar street, where the crime Is alleged to have occurred. The girls old mother. whose air of motherliness seems almost to belle the charge, col lapsed during the inquest and Is in n very weakened condition. The prison CTS were admitted to bairin $1 900 each and were allowed to go home last night They will be held to await the action of the grand jury, which meets November 9.

Two Tariffs.

The introduction of a maximum and minimum tariff proposition in the sen ate and it's discussion lends interest to a statement recently published by the treasury bureau of statistics regard ing the maximum and minimum tariffs of She world and their method of ap- plication.
 The maximum and minimum tariff sygtem, t says, is distinguished from others. first of all in it's form. Instead of having two rates for 2 few articles it has two rates on most articles on which duties are imposed, and for this reason is frequently called the double tariff system. Tn the application of these rates the maximum schedule corresponds to the conventional schedule of conven- tional tariffs, since the minimum rates are given only to those countries which receive the most-favOred-na treat ment. The characteristic difference between the two systems, however. gin. The minimum schedule is not drawn up by negotiations between the executives of two countries, but is framed by the legislative body at th,. same time that the maximum schedule is made. That is, the legislative power fixes two rates of duty on each article in the tariff. The higher rate is the one which fixes the maximum extent to which those articles may be taxed on entering the country; the lower. or minimum rate, is the one which fixes the minimum extent to which the duty may be lowered. If it is desired to make commercial treaties at any time. these two rates show the exact limits be- tween which the treaty rates are to be dxed

A REPRESENTATIVE FIGURE

I can think of no one more properly representative of the later phases of our national literary life than MT Howells
 It i5 not as being necessarily the greatest genius of his time that MT Howells is entitled to this distinction. Neither Irving>nor Lowell was exactly the greatest genius of his time. Meas uremcntS of genius are misleading and dangerous; only in cases of immense prc-cminencc can we be quite sure of ! our reckonings. Putting such danger ous questions aside, Mir Howelis. like Irving and Lowell, is for other reasons more representative man than any ] Of hls contemporaries. For ono thing he is more q master of his profession than anyone else; he understands the whole range of letters more thoroughly | Irving and Lowell were also masters of easy power in broad range Of letters. | but ] am not sure that MT Towels does not surpass them. Not merely fic- | tion is his field, the natural and neces- sary mode of expression of our day, but | poetry, criticism, essay, drama as we'll Like Goldsmith, there are few veins that he has not worked. and wherever | he has worked he has brought forth
 gold.
 But further, also. Mir. HoweIls Is l representative of his time. he is en- | tirely in the spirit of it. It is true that | of late years everyone sees that the spirit of the times. so far as letters are | cC1ccrned Is changing; but however
 that may be, the last third of the cen
 tury will historically be the time of the | influence of realism in fiction and the | drama, a movement in which Mir. How
 els was our chief leader. And however
 technical principles of realism may | have changed or may be changing. | there can be little doubt that the in- l creased seriousness which it brought.
 the more prevailing consciousness of
 the necessary close relation between literature and life. the feeling that lit
 erature should in some measure and with varying means interpret life. thi=
 the necessary feeling of the realist, will
 not pass away as readily as the for
 mulas of local Colo~ and states of soul
 And in that respect too, MT. Howells IS

DISASTROUS FIRE IN TUCSON.


 A fire Sunday night came very near saving the city the trouble, expense and litigation attendant upon the re- moval of Wedge No. 2," says the Tue son Citizen. The four buildings in the center of the wedge were completely destroyed by fire between the hours Of 12 and l o'clock. It was one of the hottest fires that has visited Tucson in years, and even at the above late hour great crowds fiockcd to the scene. Those near by were slow in turning the alarm into the fire house, so the de- partment did not reach the scene for some little time after the fire was first discovered. The fire is thought to have started in the store which has been selling a bankrupt stock for the past week. From there it spread in both directions, entering Miltonberg's bak- cry on the west, Hogan's tailor shop and the Dewey barber shop on the east.
 Little was saved out of the buildings actually in the blaze. The estimated losses are Gs follows: Hogan, the tailor. s1.50O; Coleman. the barber. S1,G0o; Miltenbcrg bakery. $500; Lego Tender. S1 ,OOO; Jlcomc & Mango, $500. and about $500 in plate glass by the secvral merchants. The windows ia most places were reduced to scales. The heated glass and cold water sqattcriuc on it caused this effect Few of the merchants carried insurance on theIr stock. The general public seems to look upon the fire as starter for the re moYal of the wedge

Making Faces.

It Is sad truth that making faces in the International field is followed by it's consequences. The faces, how ever little and obscure, are finally seen and known of all men; and, in the long run, the many small faces count for much more than the few big ones. This is what is the matter with Ger many just now, in her relations with Great Britain and the United States. The German press made faces at us ali along during our war with Spain; and. that little affair having brought the German newspaper men into good con- dition, intellectually and historically. they thanked God and took courage when they found at the close of QUE war that divine Providence had placed the British war in South Africa ready to their hands, and then proceeded, with an enlarged vituperative vocabulary, 10 do that British war up to their own satisfaction, and to the very great dis satisfaction of most living Englishmcn. It was not the adverse judgment that made this wound. but the needless mis- representation and rancor accompany ins it.
 These German chickens, so literally and so recently sent out to the United States and to Great Britain, are now returning to their roosts in the father land with painful fidelity. The faces that the Germans made at the two great English-speaking peoples with fair regularity from the beginning of 1888 until last summer, these faces these same Germans are now beginning to see for themselves. Chancellor vou Buelow saw them when he said in the Reichstag:
 It is a striking fact that part of the English press often judges without ob- iectivity. often with undisguised male violence in matters where Germany is concerned. A poet of great talent turned savage and even indulged in verbal unjust attacks upon us. These phenomena can be explained through .. certain enbitterment of the English people over the violent attacks of the Continental press during the South African war.
 The faces having been made, there is nothing for Germany to do about il except to wait for time to bring some new international excitement to over lay the recollection Of them; but it is a pity that they were made; and official Germany, if not the local German press patriot, now knows it.
 The lesson is as broad as all inte-- national relations, whether these rela- tions are visible and consciously oh- served at the moment or not. It is just as ill-bred and dangerous to make faces at other nations as it is to make them Gt the bystanGers.

A DOUGLAS FIRE.

Several shots rang out at 7:30 Tues day evening, and soon a large crowd was rushing toward a cloud of smoke which was gathering above some tents and small frame buildings on the cor ner of II and Eleventh streets. The flames began to leap higher. and it be- gan to look like the entire block be- tween Eleventh and Tenth was to be licked up by fire. Three tents owned by w. Welcome. where the fire origin atcd first, were burned, spreading to Welcomes shoe shop and lastly to the French restaurant. cleaning everything up.
 According to MT. Welcome. the fire caught in one of the tents, where there was q lamp and a small stove.
 The French people who lost the res trarant building could give no infor- nation as to how the fire began. but explained that all their earthly posses sions had gone up in smoke.
 The wind was in favor. as it was not blowing hard, nor in the direction of the adjoining buildings. Had the fire broke out at nCon, when the wind was quite high. nothing could have pre- vented the loss of thousands of dol lars.-Ditp2tch.

A Parliamentary SchoO'.

Young MT Beveridge is in a way 10 learn something of parliamentary tao tics. If he does not learn it will not be because he is lacking in opportunity or teacher, for the venerable MT. Quay is up to tricks that were never heard of in Indiana.
 The astuteness of the champion of statehood unoflds itself every day. Some impatient souls in the territories have been wondering for weeks why he did not apply the screws to the enc mics of the omnibus bill and be done with it. It was manifest that he had enough strength to do what he pleased in the senate. It seemed that he did not exert his power.
 No doubt he could have tied up the senate almost any time after the holi- day recess, ard by this time the op- porents of statehood would have prob ably surrendered. It turns out that the mere passage of the bill did not en- gross the mind of MT. Quay. He has been studying to find out the greatest number of holes into which he can put his antagonists and at the same tim@ keep on the right side of public opinion.
 The continuous session which he has succeeded in precipitating is one in effect. though it does not prevent the senators from sleeping or eating. It does though prevent the consideration of any other measure than the state hood bill without the consent of MT. Quay, and it affords the enemies of tha bill all the time. there is to speak against it.
 We observe by a reference to our es- teemed contemporary, the Compression al Record, that the name of MT. Bever- idge appears in it from day to day with a greater frequency than any other combination of the letters of the alpha bet than those which compose the words the" and and" The edition of the Record having been enlarged by Mir Quay, MT. Beveridge's name may appear with still greater frequency.
 MT tIudy IdleSl pIOpOSdi lO dIHGA copy of the omnibus bill to some of the appropriation bills as a sort of an irrelevant but proper amendment need not interfere with his present plans. and no doubt he does not intend that it shall do so.
 Those who are opposed to statehood would not likely put themselves in the position before the country of filibus- tcring against the appropriation bills even if they were dressed up in the fam tastic garments in which MT. Quay pro . poses to array them.
 Just what the gentleman from Penn sylvania is intending to do will remain a. matter of conjecture to the enemies of the omnibus bill as we'll as to the public at large until he has got it donc. We may confidently believe that he is making no mistake. A great many hard things have been said of MT. Quay at home and abroad, but he has never been accused of blundering.

words may have been none of these at which he offered his conjectures.
 Meanwhile on the left and center D'Eron. Jerome and Ney were equal ly puzzled, and kept on sending cavalry to places where it was very uncomfort- able Ohough our men seldom managed to hit any of the cavaliers, firing too high) and did no sort of good. Napo leon may never have been arprised of these circumstances. His old writing master was not on the scene of action, Nobody dared to say, Sire, what does this figure of a centipede mean, and how are we to construe these two thick strokes flanked by blots?"
 The imperial temper was peppery; the great man would have torn off his pistol to shoot a little dog that danced on them. Did he not once draw his pistol to shott a little dog that parked at his horse? And when the pistol missed fire, the great soldier threw it at the dog, and did not hit him. The little dog retreated with the honors of war.
 Such was the temper of Napoleon, and we know what Marlborough would have thought of the value Of an equa, ble temper. Nobody could have asked Bonaparte to write a legible hand. SC his generals lived a life Of conjecture G5 to his meeting. and Waterloo was not a success, and the emperor never knew why. Of all his seven or eight theories of his failure al Waterloo, his -andwriting was not one. Yet if this explanation had occurred to him, Na- poleCn would certainly have blamed his pens, ink and paper. Those of Nel- son, at Copenhagen, were very bad. 'If your guns are no better than your pens" said a Danish officer who came in under a flag of truce before the fight, and was asked to put a message into writing, you had better retire.
