The little farming community oi

The whole ne.ghDorhood soon reach

conclusion that the entire family. ha6
been murdered and torch applied tc
the dwelling.
A hammer was the only weapon
found in the ruin, which could have
inflicted the wounds, The coroner's

came to their death "by fire or some
other means unknown"
While many theories are entertain

believe other members Of the family
were murdered in bed by bing knock

outraged and then killed by some 9th

REVOLT IN RUSSIA cuRsED.
Strikers Being Held in Check by the
strono Arm of the Military.

.
Associated Press dispatches from St.
Petersburg state that while no fur.
ther encounters between the strikers
and the authorities have occurred. re-
ports frcm other points indicate
that the strike movement Is spreading.
At Mitau bodies of strikers marched
to the shops and compelled the men
who were at work to leave. The War
saw strike begun Friday is spreading
rapidly, but without disorder. A gen
eral strike has begun at Lodz. At Mos
COW and St. Petersburg the authorl-
ties have the situation uncer control
and the day passed quietly. In the
former city some men have returned
to work. Advices from st. Petersburg
are to the effect that the authorities
regard the danger of general tie-up
of Russian industries as past and as
sert that the attempt to convert the
movement into a political revolt sas
failed.
The governments promise OF short
er hours of labor has been proclaim
ed in Moscow and other cities and
zemstvos had the effect on the work
ingmen. The political side OF the
movement is again sinking beneath
the surface. When and in what form
it will break out only the future can
determine. The authorities every
where seemingly are attempting to
treat the workmen whose aspirations
are purely economic without harshness
and are appealing to their patriot
ism. by pointing out the benefit which
will accrue to the Japanese by a sus-
pension of work at the arsenals. dock
yards, etc.
On the other hand. the authorities
are putting down the revolutionlsts
with a stern hand. The latter have
again been forced to cover, meetings
being almost Impossible. Many for
eign correspondents come here to ind
that the acute stage is past and some
of them have been driven to repeating
the horror stories Of Sunday, while
others are indulging in the widest in
ventions, particularly abott the in
trigues and ter-ors prevailing at court.
The latest sensational report Is that
the emperor and the IMPERIAL family
have fed to Livadia.

You're uncle's girl, sure enough,
Bess," Mrs. Otis would say, after that;
for there came peaches from the old
mans garden, big and solden-straw-
berries, scarlet and melting sweet
crimson cherries, and pale spice sweet

say to herself perhaps he'll do some

with her so many times during the
evening that lookers-on said, 1T will

It was certainly for some reason Of
this kind that the winter passed very
pleasantly to Bess, as we'll as the sum-
mer.
When spring broke, there came sud-
den news of Uncle John. His death
had suddenly occurred, and the law
yer's letter said: He has left a legacy
to his favorite niece, Miss Bess. She
had better come down here"
So the family made flying, excited
trip into the country-only Bess was
crying.
When they reached Wheatlands,

AS he spoke, he looked curiously at
the button Of the old garment which
he held in his hand. Bess looked, too.
Something yellow shone through the
worn meshes of the cloth. She scraped
it little with her finger nail, and
saw a five pound piece.
"They are all alike, these buttons"
said the lawyer with smile, land
there are q hundred Of them"
"Oh!" shrieked Mrs. Otis; ITO think
that ridiculous old coat should be
worth five hundred pounds!" and she
took it eagerly into her possession.
"As for the old carriage" said the
lawyer.
"It's stuffed with hottest" cried Mrs.
Otis.
No. it wasn't stuffed with notes, and
Uncle John had not left his favorite
niece all his fortune; but under the
seat of faded green cloth was found
title deed to Wheatlands, bequeathing
that valuable property to the girl who
had wished always to live there.
1t was happy bequest; for after
Bess had married Eustace st. Elmo,
and much of the st. Elmo wealth was
lost, Bess, with her husband and lit
tie ones, made happy home at Wheat

TOO MUCH UGLY FURNITURE.
Parson Wagner Makes Telling Point
Against One American Evil.

Against One American Evil.
Parson Wagner, who tells us that
we ought to live simpler lives, is fight
ing a losing battle, because he is COM
batting human appetites, which grow
by what they feed on and become
stronger in proportion Is civilization
finds new means to pamper them. 1t
may be desirable, but useless to tell
us that we should be better off if we
preferred mutton and turnips to
French sauces and foie gras with
truffles, and if we drank spring water
instead of Chateau Yquem and cham
pagne.
But there is one piece of advice he
gives us that there is chance we
may heed. because the practice
against which he protests gratifes no
human desire and is obviously waste
full and absurd. This is his advice,
not to throw money away on super
auities of furniture. One does not
realize what an excess of furniture the
average American home contains un-
til he looks around with the idea in
his mind. Much Of it is absolutely
useless, always ugly, and often in
shocking bad taste. Especially is this
true Of the furniture found in the
| homes Of people of moderate means,
bought cheap. and precisely the same
in all of hundred thousand houses.
The result is that the average in
terror is not only an eyesore to per
sons of cultivated taste, but is so
crowded and Uttered up with veneered
monstrosities that it is exasperatingly
difficult to navigate. If third Of 1t
had never been acquired the house
! hold would be healthier, happier and
much more comfortable. Sensible peo-
pie who desire to get all they can out
of life will carry as little tmpedimenta
as possible on the journey. AS one
of the richest women in Chicago was
heard to say when she closed her
great mansion and discharged most of
her servants to move into a compare
| lively modest fiat:
"If I could have my way I would
own nothing but bank account and
travelling bag; and the smaller the
bag and the bigger the bank account
| the better I should like it. it."-Chicago
