New Onxzans, La., July 6.—Kilrain is with- out doubt in splendid condition and appears to be confident of winning. He expresses him- self to this effect, saying that he never felt better in his life, and felt now that he would win. He did not underrate Sullivan's skill and strength. Ailhe asked was a fair field and no favors and he was satisfied of the result. For further information he referred to Mitchell, Mitchell said Kilrain wasin better condition now than he had ever been before in his life and was as skillful as he was strong. He hoped that the people would accord his man fair play and felt sure that Kilrain would BEST THE BIG SLUGGER, Pap Moore and others of the party expressed themselves in like terms, and likened the two men unto a quarter horse and a mile runner, comparing Sullivan to the former and Kilrain to the latter. Kilrain was in the very pink of cendition and was far superior in any respect to what he was a few vears ago, while they have many reasons to believe that Sullivan had deteriorated. The reception accorded Kilrain by the Mer- chants’ clu of Baltimore amounted to an ova- tion, Just prior to Kilrain’s departure he was called upon by @ holy father, who bestowed upon him his blessing and wished him GOD SPEED AND GOOD LUCK. There appeared to be some slight fears in the minds of some of the party that the enthusiasm aroused in the city in behalf of Sullivan might cause the crowd to be overpartial to the big man, but assurance was given them that the Baltimore man would be given fair play, and this appeared to satisfy them. The party and escort arrived at the gymna- sium of the South Athletic club about noon and a rousing welcome was given Kilrain and party. --—_-___ THE RAILROAD CUT RATES.

Commissioner Fink has decided that this course should have been adopted before the tickets were placed on sale.” nem cliiases SIR CHARLES 1S TIRED. Won’t Go Near the Parnell Commis- sion for a While. ste; He Loxpoy, Jaly 6.—Sir Charles Russell is re- ported to be mortally tired of the Parnell com- mission and is said to have expressed an inten- tion to keep away from its sessions altogether, now that Mr. Davitt’s examination has been concluded, until the closing speeches are on. Sir Charles has not been very well of late, and be is now in the hands of Dr. Sir Morell Mackenzie. When Parnell appears before the commission again for cross-examination Sir Charles expects to be on hand, but in the meantime he will allow his agsociate counsel to look after the interests of the Parnellites before the commission. AN AUTHORESS SUED FOR DAMAGES. A West End tradesman has brought suit for £20,000 damages against a young authoress whose novels are very painstaking studies of real life. He imagines that he is the original of one of the characters in her last novel. Hee! id through this tradesman’s efforts the book has been withdrawn from sale. American visitors in England ex; sur- rise at the substitution here of homely Saxon i the elegant French to which they are ac- customed at home upon bills of fare at hotels, restaurants, and private dinners. The cha here has been slow but sure, and now a “bi of fare” is so called, and is no longer a ‘‘menu.” The dishes are given their good old English names, and it is no longer considered good form to eat anything for which a Saxon name cannot be found. CANADIANS DISSATISFIED. The Canadians here express dissatisfaction with the easy manner in which the government has treated Canada’s protests on the subject of the Behring sea seal fisheries, and the an- nouncement that the government has come to an amicable Sopa with America does not suit them at all. There is a feeling in Downing street that the Canadian officials are doing all in their power to embroil the United States with the home government, end this is a source of constant irritation. Their influence for evil is, however, very small, and there is not the slightest chance that England and America will ever go to war over Canadian grievances. Patriotic Americans will perhaps be glad to learn that their good-looking countrywoman, the famous whistler, Mrs. Shaw, has had an offer of —— from a wealthy English baro- net. They will possibly be still more rejoiced to learn it she has refused the offer. grasa tnt A Fourth of July Shooting. Krasyvittz, Mo., July 6.—During the cele- bration here on Thursday the Miles brothers, Bill and Jim, shot and killed O. E. Bronson, the sheriff of Taney county, and Ed. Frink, his deputy.

'W. B, Hamilton in St. Nicholas, Rockets are raade for three purposes—for signalling, for decorations or celebrations, or as projectiles in war. For signals, the charge consists of twelve parts of nitre, two of sul- phur and three of charcoal. The ornamental, or decorative, rocket is the one we see used on the Fourth of July, and the composition of which itis made comprises iS of mealed or finely pulverized powder, 80 of nitre, 40 of sul- phur, and 40 of cast iron filings. The main part of the rocket is a case, made by rolling stout paper, covered on one side with paste, around a wooden form, at the same time applying con- siderable pressure. The endis then ‘‘choked,” or brought tightly together, with twine. The paper case thus made is next placed in a copper mould, so that a conical copper spindle will pass ‘up through the choke, and the com osition is then zene in and packed by blows of a mallet on a copper drift or packing too) made to fit over the spindle The top of the case is now closed with alayer of moist plaster-of-paris one inch | thick, perforated with a small hole for the passage of the fame to the upper part, or “pot.” The pot isformed of another paper cylinder slipped over and pasted to the top of anes aaikon Gog: by a paper cone filled with tow. The “decorations” are placed in the t and are scattered through the air when the Bosse, having passed through the aperture of the plaster, reaches a small charge of mealed | powder placed in the pot. ‘The stick is a piece of pine wood, tapering, and about nine times the length of the rocket. It is to guide the rocket in ite flight. The decorations in the pot may be ‘‘stars,”’ “serpents,” ‘‘marrons,” “‘gold- rain,” and so on. ‘Marrons” are small paper shells filled with grained powder and pinned with quick-match. ‘Serpents” are small cases aboat }¢ inch in diameter, in which is @com- position of three parts nitre, three sulphur, sixteen mealed powder, }¢ charcoal. This com- | position is driven in the case, the top of which is closed by plaster-of-paris, having a small saure through which passes a piece of quick- mate yptember, southern and 3303434; white, 34.

Adler house shortly sfter 1 o'clock this after- noon and the commotion visivie to the passer by showed that there was some change—e change for the worse—in the condition of Morris Adler. ‘ The telephone was called into service, and as fast as the sound-waves could convey the in- formation, Dr. J. W. Bayne was told that his presence was needed immediately at the bed- side of the stricken young man. In the meantime Dr, Wagner, whois always with the ter did all he could to stop the nervous Bayne’ k horse never pulled a by ~ 4 much more rapidly than he did after the tor got in at his own door, and it was only a few minutes before the destination was reached. By that time the spasmodic action AN UNFAILING SYMPTOM OF TETANUS had become more frequent and more violent. Sensation to such pain as accompanies it has come back to the wasted, paralized body of the victim of Ward's pistol. Motion also refuses to return save when commanded by the power of that disease which must speedily bring the end. Hypodermic in- eier'pad of morphia and atropia were adminis- red and the spasms at once were modified. Their force was lessened and they were less frequent. Temperature and respiration had not changed, but the pulse was much weaker. WHAT DR, BAYNE SAYS. To a Srar reporter Dr. Bayne said: “I regard the symptoms now prevalent as unfavorable indications; indications which point, I think, fo an early termination. There is nothing that leads me to look for immediate dissolution.” At the regular morning consultation the doc- tors found the patient's condition to be practi- cally unchange His temperature was not so hig! — erp ae the ——_ thermometer registering degrees, piration was eas: at 24, but the pulse, which was at *, was decidedly weak. It was very evident that Adler had at last come to a full sense of realization so far as his condition was con- Coy cerned for he aeered less interest than usual in things aroun: ye partly be ascribed to the morphia which it has been found necessary to give him to banish pain and to give him necessary rest, but that the change in his demeanor is largely due to a xnowledge of things as they are is beyond question. HEROISM AND MENTAL STRENGTH, But few people outside of the Adler house- hold and the attending physicians have realized the heroism and the mental strength displayed by the now dying man. For eighteen days he has lain his bed, a living head on a dead body; an active min linked to a lump of senseless clay. Incapable of motion so far as his own volition has been concerned and moving and feeling only when in the throes of pain, he has borne his sufferings with- out a murmer or complaint. While those around him have been sad and depressed he has been as cheerful and happy as any man possibly could be under the circumstances; he saw the silver lining in death-laden clouds that threatened to break over his head. To-day, for the first time in all this — period of suffering helplesaness, he is inclined to be despondent, and the probabilities all point to the dissolution which will come in at most a few days—probably ina few hours. Another point of interest is the UTTER ABSENCE OF VINDICTIVE FEELING. From the time of the shooting Adler has al- ways held that he was the wronged man—that Ward shot without provocation or cause—but he has never uttered a single word which could be construed into a desire for retaliation. a braiinicanes settle Real Estate Matters, Elizabeth Floyd Sicard has bought of Rodgers & Stellwagen, trustees, for $15,106.13, lots 6, 7, and_10, block 6, and 16 and 17, block 7, Kalorama Heights.
