Burdick Murder.


Buffalo, N. Y, March 2.-The district
attorney and the heads of the detective
and police forces for nearly two hours
have been closely questioning a woman

win L. Burdick. She is not under ar
rest, but it is stated that an arrest
may follow at any moment
1t Is said the woman, whose identity
is known only to those i'm the room, has
figured in the case heretofore. Her

entirely different light from any of the
theories previously advanced by the
police.
The body of Burdick was to-
day taken to his former home in Canas4
tota, near Syracuse, for burial. Mrs.
Burdick, her three children and two
close personal friends went with the
body.

A new tenant in an uptown ffathouse was promptly and forcfbly demonstrated with when she was found to possess an appetite for fried onions. Later, when she became acquainted with the other tenants and they grew to like her, she furtively mentioned her fondness for the odorous edible and her disappoint- ment because she could never have them at home. Why, of course, you can have onions here whenever you want them,' '' exclaimed one of the prime movers against the-onion frier at the beginning But you said you couldn't live in the house with such an oder," returned the other, in astonishment- "Oh, but it's different now," was the answer, in seri- ousness "A friends onions don't smell nearly so disagreeable as a strangers. you know."-N.

 Officers say the monkey went aft after the visitors had left and actually wept, a most extraordinary thing for mon- key to do. He was found in the evening lying below bunk and moaning pite- iously. Investigation showed that he had drunk potash, evidently, it is al- leged. with suicidal intent. f,,S.ta @
 Surgeons revived the monkey, but he seemed the victim of melancholia. To- day the cook of the Florida, who under stands Spanish pretty well, began to sing a Spanish love song entitled La Senorita Bonita The monkey listened for awhile, and then walked aft to the rail. There he sat for two hours, a far away look in his face and his hands crossed.
 Unobserved, he went below. A pail tof lye was there. The monkey seized the pail, climbed to the main deck, and, turning toward the river, waved his hand to the outgoing craft and drank the poison. He was picked up by Landsnan Evans unconscious.

Very Conservative.

Conservatism is believed to be the distinguishing characteristic of Eng iishmen. A young man of Bermuda, of English descent, now residing in New York city, shows that the belief is we'll founded. He imports his collars from St Georges Town, on the island where he was born, not because he has any prejudice against American-made goods, nor because he can't get col- lar to suit his needs in one of the thousand or more shops where collars are sold here, but simply that he is used to the sort that he imports. Its the kind I've always had, y know," he says, by way of explanation.

How a Poor English Girl Got 2,5oo,O0O Because of Her Kindness to a Lonely Old Man chester FaCtoru Owner.

A LITTLE English girl living near X Manchester has been made the
 heroine of a real, actual fairy taIe-just like one of the kind she loves She won the heart of an old, seemingly grabbed man. He is dead now, and "Janey," at the age of nine, Is worth s2,500, ,000.
 The story of Jane Lofts good fairy begins TO years ago, when there was born in a mean street of an ugly Man chester suburb boy who in the or dinary course of events was chris tened John Port. His parents were among the poorest of the poor, and the boy had hardly emerged from baby hood before he was plunged into fac. tory work.

izens. He had married, but his wife died and left him chi1dless. He was 8 sef-centsred man. Business was his all in life. He had succeeded as he had told the foreman he would. He was rich, but he was solitary old man.
 Here begins the romance of a hith- erto unromantic life. A little giri of four years managed to entWine herself in the heart of the old martinet. With out knowing that he was yielding to her influence, the old man found that, he could not live without the girl. He took her to his home and her welcome when he returned at evening from his factory was the one pleasant feature of his life
 They used to romp about the house together to the surprise of the serv- ants, who never had seen the head of the house unbend. The old man called the girl his little ray of sunshine" and was a brighter and happier man in her company.
 He died, few weeks ago and when his will was opened it was found that everything had been left to little Janey Loft with the stipulation that she take his name and Be known as Jane Port
 Good fortune has not changed the girl, who is now nine years old. A vis- itor found her the other day playing the piano in the drawing-room-a tall, l graceful little maiden dressed in white, her well poised head fringed with dark l brown ringlets. On a footstool near 1 her feet sat listening silently another pretty little miss with long fair hair, and curled up on the floor between them was a yellow and white dog, slumberously indifferent to the charms of music dainty picture the three 1 of them made.
 l Miss Port played with unusual skill for one so young. Presently she sang in pleasing childish treble 1 The song over, the little musician introduced first her friend, then Jackey the dog. Isn't he a beauty ?'' she exclaimed, caressing the dog-a description which, it is to be feared, a canine expert might question.
 ''Jackey is my greatest friend. They would not let me take him to Wales with me, and I missed him so much that I hurried back home to see him 9
 Miss Port does not realize the good fortune that has befallen her, although her school companions have hinted at it to her. She, by the way, declines to leave the public school she has been accustomed to attend and have her tuition undertaken by a private gov erness.
 I What would you like to do, Jane, if some day you became a rich lady ?? asked the visitor.
 | Please do not call me sJane,'" was the reply. s.I lake 'Janey better Miss Port gave the visitor to under stand that she did not care in the least for horses and carriages or fine dresses and jewels. All she wanted, it ap- peared, to complete her present happi- ness was a bicycle-a modest request which at the time of the visitors de, parture seemed on the high road to be complied with.

A Rusgian statesnaan.

M De Witte, who now holds the most powerful portfolio in the empire of the czar, is remarkable example of the self-made man. As was perhaps to be expected of a porter, he made his suc- cession in connection with railways, and rapidly rose until he obtained 8 post as government director of rail- ways He became minister of finance some II years ago, and since then has grown more and more powerful. A sim pie and unostentaHous man, M. De Witte does not lack impressiveness. He is big man. He stands six feet one inch in his stockings and his frame is strong -hmbed and muscular. His fore head is very high and full and his hair rises from it combed straight back with cut parting.

MONTANA'S I'LL LUCK.

The evil cloud which lowered over
Montana's legislative affairs when
first she assumed the dignity of
statehood seems to follow her. Start
ing with rival organizations of the
legislature, eacn calling the other
''rump," every session since the first
has been marred by scandals created
by either senatorial boodlers or cor
porations fighting one another over
the present assembly seem to differ
from it's predecessors, unless 1t may
be a little worse, if possible. With
half of the session gone, the only
thing that has been accomplished
has been the passage of the appro-
priation bill, to pay the per diem and
mileage of the members. The scan
dals of the Silver Bow judiciary and
election contests overshadow all
other subjects and nothing else seems
to be considered. While these sub
jects should receive attention, there
is no reason why all other interests
should be ignored; for the state of
Montana is larger than Silver Bow
county.
The agricultural and fruit growing
interests of the state are asking for
needed legislation, while the people
of the whole state are interested in
the bills for the reform of the road
laws and the creation of railroad
commissions; but the prospect of
legislation on these subjects is not
bright.
After the election and before the
converting of the Legislature a good
deal of republican talk was heard
about thirty-day session and other
measures of economy; but since the
session began such talk has died out
and the assembly seems to have
more clerks and other expensive ad-
juncts than it knows what to do
with. The republican victory in the
last election was due largely to the
extravaganza and incompetency of
the democrats in the last assembly,
but the present body seems to be
worse than any that have gone be-
fore. and unless all signs fail, repub-
lican supremacy will be short lived.
