the mission crowd reassembled about
their fallen leaders and passionately
mourned their loss. Skala's body was
removed to an undertakers rooms,
and Gay was taken to st. Johns hos
pital His wound is dangerous, but
it is believed he will recover.
Skala was prominent locally as a
mission worker and as the editor of
the Bohemian Christian Journal,
which he and Andrew James Losa
published at Coraopolis. He was a
Presbyterian but had filed the pull
pit at the Congregational mission
house as substitute today, as he
hao often done before.
DR. William A. McAWen, head of
the Presbyterians here, said Mr. Skala
was one of the most successful of the
mission workers. After an education
at Park college in Missouri, he had
come here to work among the foreign
ers He was % years old. He mar
ried one of his converts and besides
her, he leaves a child.
Gal is a Colporteur for the Bible
Institute of Allegheny county and is
well known for his extensive work
among foreigners.
None of the church workers believe
that there was any method in RADIO
witch's madness He was a man who
had lived at the Salvation Army bar
racks and as a charitable parasite
elsewhere, but was always at variance
with the teachings of his Christian
leaders 1t is doubtful if he had ever
seen Skala before today. He is said
To have been detained once at a hos
pital for examination into his mental
condition, but was released after a
brief time.
1t is believed by some of the con-
gregation that the sermon Skala
preached with the emphatic declara-
ton that ANY moment God would
want my life 1 am ready to lay my
life down." had stirred the foreigner
to test his Christian fidelity.

cred together to fight for reform I'M
til victory had been won was passed
by reclamation. Enthusiastic scenes
ensued and there was great cheering
for the rights of the democracy, while
100000 voices broke into the stirring
strains of the Workmen's Marseillese
and the Song of Freedom, but they de-
sisted on orders from the leaders.
The meetings then disbanded, the
original groups marching off as they
had come without the slightest dis
order. The entire Berlin garrison was
confined to barracks all day as a mea
sure of precaution, but the services of
the military were not required.
Twelve meetings were held in halls
in the suburbs and these also passed
off without untoward Incidents. The
most significant features Of todays
manifestation were the orderly man
ner in which it was conducted and
the cooperation between the socialists
and radicals, indicating the depth of
feeling among the workers regard
ing the necessity of suffrage reform.
Commissioner Won Gagow, who in CT
william clothes witnessed the demon
stration, was completely surprised at
the discipline and good order.
The socialists held huge open air
mass meetings of protest against the
suffrage bill at Breslau, Magdeburg,
Cologne, Bochum, Dortmund. Essen,
Dusse dorf and Stettin.
All passed off without incident ex
cept at Breslau, where the police turn
ed out in force and tried to dispense
the crowds that were parading after
the meeting.
The paraders broke the police cor
don and the police drew their sabres
and made numerous arrests.

BERLIN, April 10.-At least 1000
socialists and radicals took part to-
day in the most impressive demon
stration ever held in Berlin in favor
of suffrage reform in Prussia. From
IL o'clock this morning the streets
resounded with the tramp of thou
sands of earnest looking men in ev-
cry precinct in the city toward the
Humboldt Hahn and Treplow park,
where police commissioner Van GagoW
had sanctioned open air meetings.
Because of recent criticism of po-
lice methods in the repression of pop
ular assemblages, the police commits
sioner had withdrawn his former pro-
hibition on assurance from the So
cialist leaders that no disturbances
would occur and that the traffic would
not be disturbed.
Men and women gathered at the
at an early hour and from there
marched off in groups Of one hundred
toward the allotted meeting places.
There was no shouting or singing as
the crowds passed through the streets,
from which the police seemed to have
disappeared as if by magic. Squads
arrived at the park about 1 o'clock
with precision There they gathered
around 16 improvised and numbered
platforms, from which at the sound Of
a bugle, socialist and radical mem
bers of the reichstag and Lantag be-
gan addresses in which they vehem-
eltly denounced the injustices of the
present system of elections. For an
hour and half they continued amid
deafening cheers and at 2:30 another
bugle sounded, and for one minute
utter silence prevailed.

NEW YORK, April 10.-The condi-
tons of the market last week grew
so apathetic as to verge upon stagna-
ton. At times a number of causes
might be discerned for this state Of
things. The feeling of suspense due
to the question Of how the supreme
court will settle the American Tobac-
CO and Standard Oil cases, was dis
closed in the nervous tremors of the
market near noon on Monday, when
the court was assembling.
The surfeit Of new bond issues in
jected into the market is a contrib
utory cause of it's lethargy. The
Journal of Commerce traces new cap
itai issues for March of $3.50, 1000, 900
par value compared with only SIS, 000,-
000 last year, the months issues run
ming, in fact more than s17,00O,e00
over the total for the entire first
grade bonds have dropped under this
weight and the foreign demand for
our bonds, after having absorbed be-
tween $15O,000O0 and $25O,OO0,0O of
new issues, came to a full stop.
Export trade continues to be cur
tailed by the high prices of our COM
modities. The initiation Of gold ex-
ports upon the cessation of foreign
subscriptions to bond issues was
therefore inevitable. The special
urgency of the London requirement
for gold reserves was reflected in the
substantial premium over the market
price on American eagles paid by the
Bank of England on the gold ex-
port.
Interest rates rose in New York
with the substantial Withdrawals of
gold from bank reserves Dizziness
and depression in stocks were natural
results from this money market con-
dition

tees operated to curb the volume of

Missionaries Victims
Of a CraZed Fanatic

PITTSBURG. April 10.-A sermon
on martyrdom. in which Frank Skala
an editor and prominent mission
worker, had declared himself willing
to lay down his life for the Christian
cause, was followed today by his as
sassination in a highly sensational
manner and the shooting down also of
a fellow church leader, John Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries
We're leaving the little Congregational
church in Woods Run, suburb, at
the head of more than 100 foreigners.
A raggedly dressed and collarless man
poked his way through the crowd and
when he was only a step behind the
leaders he pressed a revolver to
Skala's head and fired twice.
The bullets took effect in the jaw
and temple and in the midst of his
followers Skala fell dead.
Assassin Heard Sermon.
Gay, who threw up his right hand,
as if to ward off the weapon, was
struck first in the thumb and then a
second bullet was buried in his head.
He fell unconscious across the body
Of his colleague.
For some moments the assassin
stood over his prey in a crazed con-
temptation of the deed fiourishing mis-
revolver while the panic stricken
crowd fled to shelter behind posts and
doorways
character known to most of the mis-
sion for his shiftless habits, slovenly
dress and radical opinions A moment
before he had meekly read from juve-
nile leaflets in the Sunday school led
by Skala, previously he had sat in a
back pew of the church during the
regular sermon; and at the COM
mencement of the services Skala had
shaken his hand in greeting. In all
this Radowitch had given no warn
ing of his murderous intent.
There were no police in sight when
the murder was done, the church peo-
pie were too frightened to seize the
assassin and after the wild flourish
of his weapon and stamping of his
feet on on the bodies he made off and
was soon lost to view a large armed
posse of police, detectives and church
people was soon in pursuit, but up to
a late hour tonight had found no trace
of him.

ARMOUR ALEXANDRIA BRANCH
HOUSE.

Amour & Company's new branch
house iu this city. which will be opened
on Tuesday. September 10Th, is a good
example of the methods which have
been in force for several years in the di-
rection of bringing the handling of
meats and food products to the highest
possible point of efficiency and attrac-
tiveness.
1t is the aim of large packing concerns
like Armour & Company TO make each
branch house represent in miniature
the methods and appliances employed
in their large packing plants.
Armour & Company have six plants
in constant operation; the parent plant
at Chicago and others at Kansas City,
South Omaha, +. st. Louis, Sioux City,
and Forth Worth Each plant is equip
ped TO carry on independently all
branches of the business Of converting
live animals into food and disposing OF
the bi-products.
The impression has been conveyed
that meats intended for domestic and
local consumption in the United States
are not subjected to the same form OF in
| spection as the meats intended for eX-
port. This is an absolutely mistaken
| impression. In the large packing houses
which have any form of government
| inspectiOn-and government inspection
| is enforced in all the plants of Armour
& Company-there is absolutely no dill
ference between the inspection for local
or domestic trade and the inspection for
| foreign trade. Every animal Is inspect
ed alive and animals found to be
diseased are rejected, or never bought
by, or enter the packing houses. Every
animal, hog, sheep or beef, is inspected
again after slaughter. and the car,
casses which are found TO be infected
with disease are cast aside and destroyed
under the direct supervision OF the gov
eminent inspectors. o
| This new branch house oe Armour &
Company is located at the corner OF
Cameron and Henry streets, descrip-
ton of which has been published in the
| Gazette.
This branch will be the distributing
| depot for large section Of country sur
rounding Alexandria.
Starting with the basement one finds
an interesting feature, doubly interest
ing In view of the accusation that the
smoked meats from large packing
houses are not actually smoked, but are
dipped in some sort Of bath that gives
them the smoked appearance and hayor'
All the apparatus for the proper smoking
of meats will be found in the new plant.
The basement contains two large cool
ers, one for sweet picked meats and one
for dry salt meats, etc. Reinforced con
crete soaked watts are provided for treat
ing the sweet picked meat before smok
ing.
There is large cooler on the frs
floor, lined With cement plaster. Alto
gether this branch house is one Of the
most complete, modern and up.to-datt
wholesale markets to be found any
wuere in this country.

A DUAL AFFLIcTION.

Mr.. William H. Mullin, an old and
we'll known resident, died at his home,
III north Pitt street, about & O'Clock
yesterday evening. He leaves a widow
and several children. The deceased
was about 60 years old. He was many
years ago a member Of the police force
OF this city, and later was employed by
the Carlin- Hulfish Hardware Company.
During recent years he had been a
special policemen. having been en-
ployed by merchants on Union
street and the river front to watch
their property at night. He was a
member OF James w. Jackson Council,
Junior Order United American Me-
chanics. He had been in declining
health for some time.
The death OF Mr.. Mullin is rendered
more distressing from the fact that
il is the second Bereavement in his
household within two days His eld-
est son. William II. Mullin, died in
Washington on last Friday and ar
rangements had been made for the
funeral from his fathers house this
afternoon; hence it is a second bereav-
ement to an already afflicted house
hold. While their many friends ex-
press their sincere sympathy for the
widow and fatherlGss, all realize their
impotency to say anything at present
which can gid such a sorrow. Time
alone and the assurance that they
who SOW in tears shall reap in JOY, "
can blunt the edge Of such affections.
