QUESTION OF HOME RULE.
1t Will Evidently Be Forced by the
Unionist Party.

London, Dec. 4.--Evidence of the in
tention Of the unionist party to force
the question of home rule for Ireland
to the forefront in the impending election
struggle Is shown in a message sent by
Premier Balfour to a unionist candidate
in by-election in which the premier
says he hopes the electors "will set an
example of determined resistance to
those home rule proposals, which, as we
have recently heard from the leader of
the opposition, once again threaten the
country"
The political gossips are busy with
cabinet making for the liberal party.
The names suggested are interesting as
forecasting the return to Office of Sir
Charles Dixie, who has been for twenty
years without a portfolio.
The Daily Telegraph, somewhat Curl
ously, predicts that the chief secretary
for Ireland in the liberal cabinet win be
Sir Anthony MacDonnell, at present I'M.
der secretary to the lord lieutenant OF
Ireland

A NEW YORK MURDER.


New York, Dec. 4.-Roy L. Miller, a
telephone superintendent in an uptown
hotel, early Sunday aroused the occu-
pants of the fiat adjoining the one he
had Occupied in Forty-third street for
the last three months with Lottie A.
Miller, whom he had introduced as his
wife. Excitedly he called that someone
had been shot.
Horace Hedden, living in the adjoining
apartments, rushed out and followed
Miller to the latter's dining room, where
the woman, fully clothed, lay uncon-
scious upon the floor. Miller fell to his
knees and begged her to speak to him,
to tell the visitor she had shot herself,
but there was no response. Hedden hur-
ried out for help. Returning few min
utes later with policeman and doc
tor, he found the woman dead and Mil.
Ter gone. An all-day search has failed
find the man. A general alarm has been
out for the arrest of Miller.
Neighbors of the Millers heard NO
quarrel, nor did they hear the report
OF the pistol. There were no signs OF
a struggle. The woman lay stretched
upon the floor. Her right hand was
clasped over wound in her left breast
Her clothing was scorched by the fash
of the powder, SO closely had the re.
volver been held to her breast. The
police say, however, there was no trace
of powder upon the woman's fingers. Tho
pistol lay near the body ON the floor
one chamber empty. A search Of ths
woman's effects leads the police to be
lieve that her real name was Miss Nellie
Brod, and that she came here from Brit
ish Columbia. The authorities believe
that it was in quarrel over her goins
back to her home that the shooting
occurred.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Fred Hartman House in Orange Burned
Saturday Night.

The unoccupied house on the Fred
Hartman farm in Orange was burned
through some mysterious cause Satur-
day night, together with the accumula-
tions Of Mr.. Hartman, who is some
times known as the Hermit of Orange
He is the old man who makes daily trips
to this city and collects odds and ends
of most every description. The farm
house was storehouse for these cols
lections, and the stuff made brisk
fire.
Mr. Hartman has not lived on the
place for some time, having taken up
his residence on the road between this
city and East Barre a year or more
ago. 1t is said that he made q trip
to the Orange farm Saturday and carted
away some Of his collections. 1t is
thought that he might have had fire
in the stove, and that the flames were
communicated to the papers from that.
The flames were seen simultaneously by
people in Washington and Orange at six
o'clock, and the neighbors were sum
moned to the place. They could do
nothing to extinguish the fire, however,
as 1t had gained much headway and was
leu Dy tiHuer VI thc iHo5t lhHammADle
sort. The house was burned to the
ground. The barns, which are located
across the road, were not burned. They
contained quantity of hay, etc.
The deeds of the property go under
the name of Smyth Martin and it is
understood there was no insurance.
Mr.. Hartman made his usual trip to
this city today and says that the first
he knew Of the burning of the house was
when Harry Patterson told him when
he was driving into the city. He didn't
have any theory to advance as to the
cause OF the fire and said there was
not much of value in the building; also
that he didn't carry any insurance.

Der OF razors and some wearing appar-
el belonging to the Italian section

in pursuit Of the hoboes. Two Of the
men were arrested FIVE miles east of
Sedgwick, the Others escaping for the
time being by leaving the railroad
track. By the use, of the wires the
sheriff learned that four men answer
ing the description of those wanted
we're at Crook, and he went to that

Illegal to Open Another's Mail.


The postotfice department has made
ruling regarding the opening Of
other peoples mail which makes the
same an offensc punishable by fine OF
$4,000 regardless Of the fact that it
may have been done by mistake. 1t
is not an infrequent occurrence for a
business man to receive letter in mis-
box directed to some one Oner than
himself, but few ever look to see
whether the mail received really be-
longs to them. Therefore, in the fu-
turc it will be a mOney-saving plan to
scan all letters carefully. Where mail
has been thus received and opened
heretofore, all that has been necessary
was to mark it 'opened by mistake
ana drop it back into the postOffice.
That plan will not work. The postal
regulations provide that in event of u
letter being opened by other than the
party to whom it is addressed the Of
fender is to be fined 100000. Mistakes
will not be considered sufficient excuse
to exempt the oifender-Logan County
