DUEL TO THE DEATH
REMAINS A MYSTERY
No Motive Found by Police
For Death of Two
Women.

CHICAGO. Sept. 16.-After an all-night
investigation the police today are stiu
mystihsd as 20 the motives for the re-
volver and kpife duel between Mrs.
Leah Trip and her sister-in-law, Mrs
Anna Silvers. which cost the lives Of
both women.
Following the statement Of Mrs. Sill
vers. before she died last night. that
she shot Mrs. Trip to death during a
quarrel over household troubles, rela-
tives of the women explained the trag-
edy by declaring Mrs. Silvers was de-
mented.
The tragedy occurred in the home OF
Mrs. Trip, where Mrs. Silvers had
been living since she separated from
her husband. julius Trip. husband or
one of the women and brother o. the
other, admitted TO the police the women
had quarreled. saying that several
times his sister had threatened 10 'iget'
Mrs Trip
The first intimation Of the tragedy
came when Mrs. Trip appeared al the
front door Of her apartment In fash
ionable district with a long knife wound
across her forehead. She screamed that
she was murdered. simultaneously Mrs.
Silver appeared at the rear door and
screamed for help.
When nelghbors broke inSn the apart
ment, they found Mrs. Trip dead on
the floor Of the front room with eleven
bullet wounds and two knife wounds
on her body. She had been literally
cut and shot 70 pieces. On a bed in
another room, Mrs. Silvers lay dying
with knife wound across her fore
head and a bullet IN her breast. At
her side lay a new revolver With three
undisch arged shells in the chambers.
All through he apartment were signs
Of a struggle. Rugs were tossed to one
side, chairs were overturned and every
thing pulled down. Everything was
covered with blood.
Before she died. Mrs. Silvers, between
periods Of delirium. said she had made
up her mind to kill Mrs. Trip with an
axe, but later decided to use revolver.

THE POOR OLD TARIFF.

A. w. Farmer" Smith, of Nc
Pherson, was in town the other day
and his stately mien was emphasized
by a new suit of clothes. AS he
caressed his coat sleeves fondly while
compliments were being paid his
brilliant raiment he remarked. with a
note in his voice which betokened that
he considered himself to be among the
oppressed of the land. that he had
been compelled to pay 81 more for the
suit than he had paid for similar
one a year ago and he laid the blame,
in line with the suggestion of his
tailor, on the wooden schedule of the
new tariff law. This Is where
Farmer" Smiths tailor slipped one
over on him for there is nothing in
the wooden schedule of the new tariff
law which should necessitate an in
crease in the price of clothes made
from wooden goods. The new wooden
schedule is Just the same as has been
the wooden schedule in the tariff law
which had been in existence for
number of years. Nobody in con-
gress even had the temerity to suggest
in the new law.

in times past for merchants. in various
lines of trade to impose on their
credulous clientele after a tariff law
has been made by insisting that it
compels them to increase the price of
their wares. when as matter of fact
it does nothing of the sort. This was
pointed out conclusively recently by
no less an authority than William e.
Curtis who was commissioned by the
Chicago Record-Herald to analyze the
new tariff law. Incidentally Mr.. Cur
tbs reported of this law that sit is I'M
doubtedly the most consistent and
scientific tariff law that has ever been
enacted But to get back to the
question at issue. On it Mr. Curtis
wrote:
There is no change whatever in the
wooden schedule. The same old duties
remain upon every article, although
the other day 1 was shown a circular
from a tailoring establishment which
notified its customers with great re-
greet that owing to the advance in
duties on high class suitings by the
new tariff law it had been compelled
to raise its price Is to 20 per cent
This is an old trick. 1t was used
very generally after the enactment of
the Mckinley tariff as a pretext for
| increasing prices. There was 81 gen.
eral advance in the cost of living in
the early SOS. which was unjustly at
tributed to the Mckinley tariff al
though that law was not responsible
for per cent of the increase Many
| importers. wholesale dealers and
manufacturers are already taking ad-
vantage of the Payne law for the
| same purpose"

The young Mr.. Fairly walked il

that the old veteran, who had been

the fleet that did the trick at Santiago
l think-think that will settle It,"
Il am ready to admit that we
couldn't have done without the fleet"
replied the general when he had got
over his establishment, 'but I think
the commodore ought to be willing to
admit that If the navy had been at
Gettysburg it could not have won a
greater victory than the army did,
Before high noon all was settled

The prices of food stuffs have in
creased so much in Austria during the
past few years that the government
there is going to try and take steps
to prevent any further increases of
this sort and bring about some
material reductions if possible. These
governmental endeavors will be
watched with interest the world over
where similarly exacting and onerous
conditions prevail. Perhaps Austria
Will be the Moses to point the way out

to accomplish them in countries that
are more free and "enlightened."
