Picture Showing Rival. -
CHICAGO, May 1O.-A photograph in
which his wife Is shown in an affectionate
attitude with former sweetheart Is be-
,lieved to have caused John Krula, forty
four years old, to shoot and kill his vile,
Amelia, twenty-five years old, last night.
The shooting terminated a visit at the
house Of friend, Louis Krika. and IT oc-
Cured shortly after John Krika, aged
twenty-five. Krula's alleged rival, entered
the place.
Krula escaped and went to his residence.
but within an hour returned to the scene
of the shooting with the intention of killing
himself in the room where his wife had
died.
Drawing from an envelope the photograph
which stirred his wrath, and crying that ne,
too. wanted to die, he reached into his
pocket for the revolver, which still con-
tained one cartridge. A policeman ran into
the house Just in time to snatch the. revolver
from Krula's hand. Krula was taken to

As the evening shadows gather.
Then tits cuddle time. I know.
When my baby. dressed for Dreamland.
Comes a-romping to me so:
Comes and bess of me to hold him
On my knees and ''rock-a-bye.
As the purpling sun sinks lower
In the cleaning western sky.
And he cuddles to me nearer.
As the freight softly CLOVIS.
And across the dusky portals
Ghostly pickering shadows throws;
And two dimpled arms about me
Are clasped tighter for kiss
All. was richer. rarer necklace
Placed about ones neck than this!
And I clasp and hold him closer,
Little tousled head OF gold.
As he begs dad for tory
Which a hundred times I've told:
Begs to have me tell Ii over
OF the quaint Red Riding Hood.
Or the bears-that happy family
Living in the deep. dark wood.
Soon the dropping. drooping lashes
Cover up two eyes of brown.
And the tousled head so golden
On my breast sinks lower down;
Lower yet. till. deep in s'Imber.
Cuddled close to me he lies,
With the glory OF the sunset
In his sleeping. dreaming eyes.
In his eyes. in whose rare luster
Shines the beauty of the dawn:
Till | know that into Dreamland
My wee golden-head has gone.
All. the sweetness of the pleasure,
Making life one golden rhyme.
With a dimpled babe to fnndle

Suffrage in the Philippines

The new assembly will have at first
but eighty-one members, the intention
being to increase it to a total of one
hundred at the next election. 1t will
have but little positive power, for it
is to be the lower house of the new
parliament, while the members of the
Philippine commission will sit as the
senate or upper house. Each house
can veto the action of the other, but
still 1t may be considered desirable
to consult the lower house when new
legislation becomes desirable.
The entire business is an expert
ment In self-government, and the ad-
ministration and the powers that be
are proceeding very guardedly. The
Filipinos are not altogether tractable,
and the new assembly may SOW the
seeds of independence. Possibly
though some other way may be open

Philippine annexation can be lifted
from the shoulders of Uncle Sam.
On July next, under the Australian
ballot law elections will be held in the
Philippines for members of legisla-
tive assembly and for various provin.
cial and municipal officers. 1t will be
the first effort at self-government
that the Philippines have ever known
since at least their conquest by the
Spaniards.
But the ballot is restricted to those
who pay taxes or to those who read,
write and speak Spanish or English.
These restrictions cut out at least
one-half of the number of males over
twenty-three years of age. The Re-
publican party seems to have at last
discovered that an unrestricted stuff
rage is not an unmixed blessing.

fought in the straits of Japan forever
determined the issue between the
east and the west. The western loot
ers and rainbow builders lost ground
that can never be regained.
Japan will dominate the east, but
she will as a measure of defense do
her best to bring China up to her
own standard, and China is willing.
Even the people of India feel the gem
eral impulse. All Asia, south of
Siberia, will endeavor to fall in line
with Japan, and this is why the
Russo-Japanese war promises to be
considered the most important and
far-reaching one of modern times. 1t
has saved the Orient from the spoiler,
the promoter and the looter. 1t has
left vast populations free to live their
own lives in their own way. This is
why it was a war waged in the inter-
ests of humanity, for it has put half
the world on their feet, filled their
hearts with hope and enabled them to
see a way clear for the overthrow of
all possible grabbers and subjugators.
The tide has turned, and the east is
safe and secure.

Buffalo Robes as Cures

The buffalo robe that commanded
ten dollars apiece in the days OF civil
war now brings 5000, and it is treas
ured as a rug or curio. The skin of
a real buffalo goes up in price as real
buffaloes become scarcer. Those who
possess buffalo robes, once seen in
every household, especially in the
colder states, are holding them as
heirlooms, or else are selling them for
small fortunes
The American buffalo, or bison, was
an animal closely allied to the do
mestic OK. The naturalists say it
should not be called a buffalo at all,
but it matters little what we call the
big animals now that they are almost
as extinct as the dodo. The bisons
that once roamed the vast plains that
stretch from the Mississippi river to
the Rocky Mountains furnished both
1000 and clothing for the Indians and
for the early settlers and the few re-
naming hides from those vast herds
are the robes that are now held at
advancing prices as curios.
The bison, like the Indians them
selves, fell below the advancing hosts
of white men, and pretty soon the
yellowstone National park will hold
the last of the species, while Okla
homa holds the last of the red men.
These changes have taken place in a
single lifetime, and they go to show
how rapidly affairs on this world are
recognized and reshaped and re-
placed under the law OF the survival
of the fittest.

AMERICANS USE GERMAN BEER.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The German beer industry has grown
year by year, and the increasing capaci-
ty of the establishments has made it nee
essary for the brewers to search for new
markets wi ere their overproduction could
be disposed of. The year of highest ex-
port was 1885, the amount being 13ls,oOo
hectoiters 2s,ses,oOO gallons), representing
a value of "a, 0O0, 900 marks (S6, .000.)
The next decade showed decrease,
and since then the export has gone down
to about one half of what it was. The
countries who were Germany's best Gus
tomers-France, Belgium and the Meth
erlands-had increased their output suf-
ficiently to nearly meet the home de-
mand The high duty placed on foreign
beers has also had the effect of consid-
erably reducing the Import of German
beer into those countries. In all those
years the export of German beer in bulk
(barrels) has been greater than in bot
ties
German beer once nearly had a monop-
oily of the beer trade In South America;
but there, also. it Is stated, the demand
has decreased The decline of the Ger
man beer trade in Brazil alone during the
years 1896 and 1897 is given as amounting
to fully three-fourths what the German
brewers had exported to the country in
former years.
IL is noticeable that while the export
had declined year by year. the production
of beer in Germany has advanced stead
lily, owing to the increase of home con-
sumption. At present the United States
is the best customer for Germany. i'm
porting 100000 gallons. The export of beer
to Japan and China amounted to one
third of that to the United States and
the German brewing industry has strong
hopes of entirely supplanting the English
in Australia and other British colonies.
