County Attorney Escapes Death.
Roy e. Ayers, county attorney, who
has been active in solving the murde,
mystery, has made public the fart
that an attempt was made, December
l, to poison himself and wife, it being
his theory that it was thought the at.
tempt would put him out of the case
by killing or frightening him. Mr.
and Mrs. Ayers were away from home
until 2 a. m. and when they returned
found the house had been entered
When Mrs. Ayers took drink from a
bucket of water she noticed a peculiar
taste and an analysis by chemist re-
vealed the presence of a large GUAM
tity of strychnine in the water.
All whom Sherman has implicated in
the crimes to which he has confessed
are under arrest.
Every one Of the suspects denies ah
solutely that there is any truth in the
story told by Sherman. DR.. Long
points out the fact that he was not In
town at the time of the postofice rob
berry, and this statement is confirmed
by the officers. Sherman has told con-
Trajectory stories in regard to some Of
the details connecting these persons
with the crimes, and some doubt isez
pressed by the officers.

Pauperism Grows in Some Localities
in Alarming Proportions.
LondOn.-In connection with the re-
cent agitation started by the army OF
unemployed IN this city the figures
given in the 34th annual report of the
local government board showing the
great increase of pauperism which
marked the close of 1904 are of espe-
cial interest. In December a year ago

those relieved had actually risen to
932,267.

AFFAIRS IN RUSSIA
DARK DEEDS OF VIOLENCE and
BLOODSHED REPORTED.
All Parts of Great Empire in Turmoil
Troops in Manchuria on Point of
Revolt Because Of Failure to Get
Pay or Proper Food-Strike on Rail-
road-Linevitch Reports to Car.

Dark deeds of violence and blood
shed were reported from all parts of
the Russian realm the past week. In
st. Petersburg the week opened with
the military arrest of M. Kustaleff,
president of the executive council OF
the striking workmen. This was i'm
mediately followed by wholesale ar
rests of leaders of the insurgent peas
ant leagues throughout the empire, M.
Witte having entered upon a more
rigorous policy of putting down dis
order.
In Moscow the week opened with a
panic on the bourse. The government
met this startling situation by giving
out reassuring statements of Russian
finances and the panic seems to have
been arrested
from st. Petersburg, Moscow and the
Odessa country to the Baltic provin-
ces in the west. The ancient kingdom
of Lithuania is af1ame with the spirit
of revolution. A provisional govern
ment has been set up in Riga, capital
of the government of Livonia and seat
of the governor general of the Baltic
provinces.
Riga is a city of about 100000 pop
ulatiOn and is on the Duna river;
about 10 miles above its mouth in the
Gulf of Riga, 3oS miles southwest of
st. Petersburg. The new government
there has declared the separation of
the Lithuanian people from the Rus
sian empire. The population around
Riga is largely Germanic, and Lithua-
mans are bitter against the German
landlords. Bands Of peasants are burn
ing the estates ana numbering land
owners. Lithuania was formerly an
independent kingdom, but in the 18th
century it entered into union with
Poland. With the dismemberment Of
the Polish empire, the country passed
to Russia and has since been part of
that empire.
The Russian government has an ar
my in Riga and dispatches report there
has been fierce fighting in the streets
and that machine guns were used by
the cars soldiers against the in
surgents.
The cars affairs were rendered still
more desperate the past week by
alarming reports from his Manchurian
army. The troops in Manchuria are at
the point of revolt because of failure
to receive their pay and inability OF
the government to give them proper
food and clothing, due to the suspen-
sion of traffic on the transsiberian rail-
road, arising from the strike. 1t is
said that General Linevitch has advis-
ed the car that there is grave danger
of a general revolt.

ORIGIN OF LLOYD's.
Humble Beginning of Europe's Great
Maritime Agency.

Humble Beginning OF Europe's Great
Maritime Agency.
Two centuries ago a man who had
a cargo to send to the Mediterranean
contrived to get rid of some of the risk
by inducing a friend to take an interest
with him. It was necessary to write
out statement of contract to which
the guarantors subscribed. This was
the first underwriting. These two men
happened to be frequenters of Lloyd's
coffee house in London, which was a
favorite place for the merchants of the
town to gather to discuss business or TO
gossip.
Others Immediately saw the advan-
tage Of the scheme which their col
leagues had devised, and on the next
voyage the risk was parceled cut
among a larger number Of the patrons
Of the coffee house.
Out Of this small beginning has
grown the great European maritime
agency, still bearing the name of the
humble coffee house proprietor, and
which not only writes risks on vessels.
but rates them and publishes their ar
rivals at every port the world over, no
matter how small or how remotely sit
uated. From 1.-THE Annals of the
American Academy"

First Hebrew Editor in America.

The founder of the first Jewish
newspaper in this country has died in
New York city at the age of 70. x. III.
Sarasohn came from Russian Poland
as boy and was educatel in New
York public schools. When 40 years
old, in 1874, he established the Jewish
Gazette, and twelve years later the
Jewish Daily News, which he owned
and edited until his death. He was
deeply interested in the educational
and other interests of his race, and
although he grew rich, he retained his
home in the midst of the poorest Jew
ish quarter on the east side, so that
ne might always be at the call of his
people. He was the founder of the
Hebrew sheltering house on East
Broadway, and bore it's expenses.
There was scarcely a Jewish institu-
ton in the city that he was not con-
nected with, and always actively so.
Sarasohn was chairman of the Kishinev
relief committee, which raised over
100000

A Famous Rosarian Gone,

The Very Rev. S. Reynolds Hale,
dean of Rochester, England, famous
for his book on roses and his enthusi-
asm for gardening, died recently in his
eighty-fffth year. Dean Hale was one
of the foremost promoters and from
the time of it's formation until his
death the president of the National
Rose Society Of England. He has been
called probably the most noted anna
teur rose grower in the world and was
a regular exhibitor at rose shows and q
writer for the horticultural journals.
Besides the classic on the rose Dean
Hale published a number Of other
works on gardening and some volumes
of "reminiscences. The charming per-
sonality and genial wit of Dean Hale
pervaded his writings and endeared
him to many readers.

Zion City Deacon Criticises Bust
ness Methods Of the City
and Predicts Failure.
THE END is COMING RAPIDLY.
Westwood Says Barnard Was Too Hard
Pressed and That There is No
System in Zion.-Use
Loose Methods

Deacon Charles Westwood at one
time very close to the financial heads
of Zion who left the city last Novem-
Der, aroused by the repeated asser-
tions that he was dismissed has at
last come out with statement in
which he gives his reasons for leaving
and predicts the ultimate failure Of
the enterprise. In an interview given
out yesterday he said:
81 handed in three designations as
church member, officer, and secretary
and never received an answer. In
Zion you cannot resign. Fourteen
years I have been with Zion and stood
as a buffer during the receivership.
''I thought it all out for months and
prayed over it, but could not see the
way clear for myself or Zion, was
worked to death and was given no APP
probation. 1t can easily be seen
where Zion stands. The end is not
yet, but surely coming. Loose methods
of doing business and mistatements
by officials will bring the end. Dea-
con Barnard's resignation is one'step
nearer the approaching dissolution.
When one runs factory the cost of
production usually is looked into. 1t
is not SO in Zion. When they want
anything they get it. Chicago bust
ness men have been patient, but sore
1y tried.
''Whi1e I could not put my finger on
any one reason why I resigned, got
tired of the whole business. To my
mind Deacon Barnard's retirement
was for similar reasons. It will have
a hard effect on the credit of Zion.
Business men trusted him. He, too,
became tired and could not see Zion S
way under the present policy.
Barnard was too hard pressed" he
continued. "He never could satisfy
the creditors and never had anything
to give except promises. All the sat-
isfaction I could get this morning
was that they will pay as soon as they
are able"

A SCHOOLGIRLS DECISION.

Worlds History.

Different, 1T Might Have Changed the
Worlds History.
when Charles Wesley, one of the
founders Of Methodism, was at school
a gentleman Of the same name intro
duced himself by letter to the boys
father and declared his intention Of
making Charles his herr says writ
er. From that time forth the bene-
factor discharged the boys liability at
school and behaved as the handsomest
Santa Claus all the year round. After
some years the incognito asked the boy
if he would accompany him to Ireland.
Charles eventually decided against go
ing. The stranger went his way alone.
In Ireland he struck UP an acquaint-
ance with a person who adopted his
name of Wesley, or Wellesley, became
the first Earl of Mornington, GRANDPA
Their Of the Marquis Of Wellesley and
Of the Duke of Wellington. Had
Charles Wesley accompanied his bene-
factor to Ireland there had been no
Methodist church, British India might
still have been menaced by foes, even
if it remained British at all; Napoleon
would never have met his Waterloo,
and England might have become an
appanage of France. All this turned
upon the decision Of a schoolboy."

WORST I'm THIRTY YEARS.
The Month just Closed Has Been Cold
est February in Thirty Years,

The temperature above the freez-
ing point, the snow disappearing and
soft winds blowing, the month Of
March arrived borne on the arms Of
southern zephyrs.
According to custom it should,
therefore, in it's thirty-one days of
existence develop claws, teeth and a
roar which will cause the cold chills
to creep up ones spine and it's exit
should be like the proverbial lion,
seeking whom he may devour.
And what of February, the brief,
but powerful month just closed? 1t is
we'll that only four weeks constitute
this month, for it has been most
vicious in it's meteorological NANTES
tations. It has been the coolest Feb
ruary since 1875, The ground hog
was wise old boy and his retreat into
his burrow early in the month was a
good move. The average temperature
for the month has been close to is
degrees. Other Februarys have been
cold, but none for thirty years has

Had the rigorous cold not been
moderated after the middle Of the
month the record would have broken
all previous marks and have estab-
1ished a new one which would have
stood for long. The past few days
have been warm and have modified
the average markedly.
Incidentally, Forecaster Cox, the
man in the Auditorium tower in Chi
cago, has been peeking through his
horoscope and promises that the mer-
curry shall not be allowed to pass the
zero mark this month unless some
ching gets out of gear and smashes
all the arrangements.
But look for the 1eonine departure
of blustery March.
