MR. GLOVER’S COU NTRY RESIDENCE. 4 BEAUTIFUL SUMMER HomME. | Mr. Glover's Suburban Residence Near the | Loughborough Koad. ee DR SUBURBAN IMPROVEMENT | —A BEAUTIFUL SITE—FINE VIEWS AND PLEAS AST SURROUSDINGS—A GOOD TYPE OF COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE—CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENT. THE PIONEER STEPS The country residence which Mr. C. C. Glover is building on his farm near the Lough- | Dorough road and opposite the Methodist Uni- | ! versity property isa fine example of suburban architecture. The size of the house and its ost give it rank as the most notable improve- ment that has been made recently in the Ten- leytown region. In fact, the country home of } ‘Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard is the only other modern residence in that locality that can be compared with it. The erection of this house and the country | houses of Mr. Hubbard and Mr. C. S. Noyes! may be taken as the pioneer steps in the move- ment which, it is believed, will result in the course of the next few years in the building of a large number of country residences of a superior class in various parts of the suburbs of the city. A TINE SITE. Mr. Glover has made an excollent selection of asite for his residence. It occupies an ele- vated point commanding a wide sweep of the picturesque scenery which is the feature of this region. To the south lies the Potomac, while to the north and west is an attractive stre of country pleasantly diversified with et fields and groups of forest trees and terminat- ing in the hazy line of the Blue mountain range. COLONIAL ARCHITECTUR The house, which was designed by the archi- tects Mesurs. Barry, Simpson and Andrews, is a | tecture. pure specimen of the colonial style of archi- The sides are covered with weather boards painted a delicate brown yellow, while the cream-colored frieze is marked by tl graceful line of garland ornamentation which is one of the characteristics of the style. The high pitched roof 1s covered with shingles stained in brown. the entire color tone of the | house being quiet but effective. The roof is shed at the top with a square balustrade. THE MAIN ENTRANCE through a handsome porte cochere on the north side of the house. By this arrangement all the living rooms are located on the south side of the house and those on the lower floor lave casement windows opening on the roomy verandas, which extend entirely around the | south and west sides. From the apartments on the second floor there is access to a balcony which extends along over the top of the veranda. A GENEROUS HALLWAY. The important feature of the interior plan is the generous hall, twenty feet wide, which ex- tends through the house from the north to the south, with spacious doorways at each end opening on the veranda and the porte cochere. The ceiling of the front portion of the ball two stories high and in the upper story there is agollery running around it, mto which the rooms of the second floor open. The prevailing feature of the house is its openness. The entire first floor can be prac- tically thrown into one room. On the right of the bill is Mr. Glover's own room-—his den or retreat. or whatever it may be called. Back of this, with windows opening on the veranda, is the drawing room. On the opposite side of the hall is the dinin, The domestic offices nd the servants’ rooms are annexed to the house on the east side. ‘The builder, Mr. John 5. Larcombe, expects to have the house prac- tically completed before cold weather and next summer it will be ready for the occupancy of Mr. Glover and his family. room. PLAN FOR PEARY'S RESCUE. ‘What is Said by One Who Has Been Over the Same Ground. | To the Editor of The Evening Star: After reading an article in your paper of this | date concerning Lieut. Peary, now at Whale | sound, west coast of Greenland, and a possi- bility of a relief expedition for his rescue next | year, I wish to say that Dr. Hughes of the Phila- | delphia Press is right in every particular. Lieut. Peary is in a bad way. I said when he lectured | here in Washington that if he lived to get through to the western edge of the Greenland continent that he would find his work | only begun. A retreat from his position even now is fraught with fearful dan- gers, and his brave little never stand it. Life in @ whale-boat retreat across Melville bay is a terror to hardy seaman, wife can Jet alone a delicately raised woman. I was with Capt. Robert Pike in 1883 during the retre from Cape Sabine to Upernavick. He say it is impowsible. He said the «ame in 1883. 1 it bad been left to him we, no doubt, would, like Greely’s men, have perished. But « game man uever des; Peary is a dead game man, a Lieut. ne only thing likely to dishearten him will be the presence of his wife. She will be days at a time in an open boat during the retreat, exposed to fearful eold, hunger, &c. His’ men, being unac- customed to handliag a boat ina sea way, will find a job ahead of them that will territy all but the stoutest hearted of them. A winter in their present position is enough to try their nerve, and if they travel any north they will be short of provisions aud possibly men next ring. Tksow what they will experience in an en- forced retreat south. I was through it—and now I beg of you have patience with me for a moment. If an expedition leaves next spring, fr God's sake let it be an American one, offi cers and men; let it be entirely American. Lieut. Garlington, if called upon, can tell why Tepeak as Ido. He can tell you what Pike and his crew of Newfoundlanders did in our expedi- tion in 1883. Let the next expedition be commanded by the gamest seaman I ever saw step over a boat's nwale. I speak of Lieut. J. C. Colw | sionaries stationed at Peki | ei DELUDED CELESTIALS. Superstition Employed to Excite the Igno- Fant Classes in China. The Methodist Episcopal Missionary Society of New York has received the following letter from the Rev. Marcus L. Taft, one of its mis- Almost simultaneously riots and mobs have | appeared in Hankin, Cyinkiang, Wubh,Kinkiang and Wusuch, and in the broad, fertile valley of the Yang-Tse-Kiang and in other par.s of cast China. Inflammatory placards, inciting riots against foreigners, have been pasted on the gates of Pekin and in the streets of Shang- hai, Tieustein and many inland mission sta- tions. At Nankin one of our missionaries, D. ¥. Nichols, seized the ringleader and held him until the troops from the viceroy took charge of him for punishment, probably decapitation. Only at Wusuch have the lives of any for- igners been lost, Green and Argent. In this five’ miles farther up the Yangts river than Kinkiang, were two houses of mis- ionaries in the center of this Ch: tion on July 3, when the riot suddenly out with such violence. The two ladies living thereand alady with the children were the only foreigners in the mission compound. Their hus- bands were all off on different missionary tours in the country. ‘The ladies escaped out of a buck door to aside street. ‘Their houses were looted and set on fire. The mob kept on str: ing, kicking and stoning them. One official closed his doors so that these defenscless ladies could not find refuge in his yamen. Another ofticial willingly rescued them until the mob burned his yamen and roughiy beat him. They escaped toa mat hut, where a couple of az Chinamen, by the promise of a large reward, concealed them by sitting at their door calmly smoking their pipes. Later a Chinese official sent his underlings and rescued them, until they were taken safely on boarda river steamer. The two Euglishmen that were killed—Green and Argent—seeing the glare of the fire at the mission premises, hastily ran thither in order to render assistance, when they were set upon by the howling mob, killed and so maltreated that their faces were hardly recognized. Their disfigured bodies wore afterward recovered and carried on the United States gun boat Cnited States navy, who saved us men in 1553, and who was the first man in Greely’s camp im 1844.

If Colwell goes you can depend on Peary being found; if Pike or any of his countrymen it will be a toss ofacent.

It is stated upon good authority that the dis- missal of the Turkish ministry was due to the sultan’s discontent at the spread of brigaudage in Turkey, the fecent outrages upon foreigners committed by Turkish brigands and the demand for indemnity for such ‘outrages brougiit by theGerman and French embaseadors ting the powers whose subjects ha cubored by this lawlessless.

The query at once arises, What caused this widespread series of riots? It has been ascertained that acertain secret so- ciety called the Ko Lao bas been the leading cause. This society consists largely of dis- banded soldiers, who are intensely provoked because their names have recently been stricken off the pension list. “Drummond's theory,” as it is called, is that this Ko Lao society is stirring ‘up the — populace against the foreigners in order to bring the present Manchu dynasty into complic tions and if possible into war with Euro- pean powers, when this secret society will start 4 rebellion to secure a purely Chinese dynasty. Others versed in Chinese ways consider the worst over from the firm way in which riots have been squeiched. Should a rebellion arise they say that it could be speedily put down, was the late Mohammedan rebellion im Sane schuan. Whatever may be the inteation of these rioters one highly beneficial result has already been obtained. ‘The emperor, slarmed for the stability of his throne, has issued an edict ac kuowledging the rights of foreigners to live in China and granting full toleration to the prop- agation of Christianity. It has been ascertained that the popular superstition is causing the trouble, that the foreigners were taking the eyes out of Chinese babies to make medicine of them, which was employed by designing rascals, So dense the ignorance and credulity of the common people that such @ rumor acted as a spark upon of gunpowder. A man was seen carrying two buskets four young bubies for the Roman ‘atholic Foundling Hospital at Kinkiang. A ery was raised “they are taking those babies to the mission to make medicine of them.” ——~eo—__ GEN. ALGER HAS NOT DECLINED. He Says, However, Mr. Blaine Can Have the Nomination if He Wants It. A Chicago special to the Philadelphia Press today says: “Ihave never said to any one that I would or would not be @ candidate for the } Presidential nomination before the republican ional convention,” said Gen. Russell A. Alger of Detroit at the Grand Pacific today. | “i did not tell Grand Army men nor other per- sons that I would not be a candidate and that I was for Blaine. I have not discussed the ques- tion of my own candidacy and I certainly will not decline anything in advance—until some one offers it to me. ding Mr. Blaine’s nomination I have etore and I say now that it depends upon i. If Mr. Blaine wishes the nomina- can have it without a struggle. No one | will oppose him. Another misstatement going | the rounds is the story that I said Mr. Blaine told me he was a candidate. That is simply nonsense.

Two weeks | ago two men came there seeking employment | and were set to work at chopping wood. They were to live in an out-of-the-way cabin. A week ago one of them came and collected what was due both and came to Seattle.

The members of the yest Greenland expedi- tion that traveled with Liout. Peary « part of the way into the frozen north returned to Philadelphia yesterday, and all with one accord agree that unless a relief expedition shall be sent out and prove successful, which latter is by no means certain, Lieut. Peary and his party of Greenland voyagers will find nameless Graves in the ice deserts that surround the north pole. There were eight in the company that landed at Baltimore at 8 o'clock yesterday morning from the steamship Nova Scotian, from St. Johns, N. B. They were sent by the Academy of Natural Sciences to investigate the geology, botany and biology of western Greenland. were the members: Prof. Benjamin Sharp and Prof. J. F. Holt, goologists; Prof. Angelo Heilprin, geologist; Dr. W. E. Hughes ornithologist; Dr. W- Burk, botauist; Mr. zel, entomologist; Dr. Robert N. Kelly, surgeon, and Fraser Ashhurst, Dr. Kelly yesterday afternoon outlined the story of the west Greenland expedition. “The expedition,” he said, was entirely distinct from Licut. Peary's. He went intending to push to the farthest point north yet reached by man. We went merely to study the west coast of Green- land and bring back specimens. We were ex- ceedingly successful, but every member of our party. I believe, considers the fate of Peary and the sever. companions he now has as most hazardous. To make the situation plain he is now about 600 miles north of Upernavik. the Danish town which trading vessels reach about once “H eral hundred miles northward toward the pole. and to get back to Upernavik agnin by Augurt 1 next. In the first piace, north of Upernavik stretches Melville bay, which has always bafiled navigators. We in our little barkentine, the Kite, were for three wecks packed in the ice of the bay, and had given up all hopes of getting through, when it finally opened up. But we brought back the Kite with us, and Peary will bave to depend on his whale boat to get him south. The boat weighs about 800 pounds. He will have a ton orso of freight to carry, and with ouly six men and his wife to manage it it is safe to say the party will never get back: through Melville bay. “The lieutenant’s pitty is made up of good, hearty fellows, but they are men almost with: out exception who have never experienced arctic life. They must all depend on Peary, and should anything happen to him I don't know what will become of them. A relief ex- | pe alone can bring Peary and his party ck, and the success of such ‘an expeiition even is dubious. The Academy of Natural Sciences was not the prime mover in Peary's trip, and it will not, I think, back a relief party. Still, the fact’ that there is a woman there will arouse public sympathy and lead peogle at home, if anything to supply Tunds for a reliet expedition.” APPREHENSIVE FOR PEARY. The Philadelphia Press today, speaking of the arrival in that city of the members of the scientific expedition, says: In spite of the ex- hilaration inherent in their experience among strange people and strange sights, and in spite of the delight that is part of an expedition that has been a great success, a gloom hung over some of the party owing te the uncertainties, the dangers and the probable and more than likely disasters that await the members of Lieut. Peary's north Greenland expedition. Prof. Angelo Heilprin, the leader of the party, took, howe: most cheery view of the situa: tion. He declared his belief that Lieut. Peary Was provided with suiticient food and fuel un- til next summer, urged the necessity of a relief expedition, und pronounced the scient sults of the expedition altogether satistactory. He suid: “Ihave seen none of the newspaper reports egatd to Liout. Peary, but am told they represent him in danger.’ He and his whole party are safe. He told me that he bad six- teen months of provisions, An opinion of the steward of the ite thut be bad insuflicient sup- plies may have started a different impression. in Lieut. Peary wanted ten tons of coal and he got seven. ‘This isan ample supply. He has, besides, kerosene oil and alcohol. The captain of the Kite assured me that Lieut. Peary had all the fuel he needed. He has plenty of hme juice aud refused the offer of more. The purty will euffer for nothing this winter. RELIEF PARTY TO BE ORGANIZED. “But after Lieut. Peary has completed his work of exploration he ought not to be asked to make the bout trip to Upernavik. As he id, he would not ask fora relief party, but he will xcept one. One will be organized, and there will be no difficulty in raising the amount, particularly after all that has been mnplished by this expedition. The sum needed is not large and it ean be raised. - “There is no rcason_for any alarm whatever about Lieut. Peary. He hus a difficult task be- fore him. He may find the ice cap open to his advance, and he may find it cut up by crevasses and tiords, No one can tell. But he is per- fectly sate until he returns to McCormick bay from his trip. Then he will be in danger un- less a veusel is there ready to bring him home, and he is at a perfectiy accessible point, whi can be reached with certainty every year. ‘The other members of the party who were gree With Prof. Heilprin that a relief expedition is a most necessary feature of the north Greenland expedition. Ameng those who recounted their never-to-be-torgotten €x- periencesy were Dr. Benjamin Sharp, the zo- ologist of the expedition, and Dr.W. E. Hughus, the ornithclogist, who, as the correspondent of the Press, has given such graphic accounts of the expedition. ‘THE LIEUTENANT'S SITUATION. They took a somewhat less sanguine view of the matter and went into the subject in great detail. They pointed out among other things that Mra. Peary was not taken into account when the food supply for the bleak winter was gotten together, and who in the necessary econ- omy of service in the expedition counts not only for naught, but acts asso much dead weight. Mrs. Peary's going was early looked upon as a mistake, and rather curiously it was through her, though indirectly, her husband broke his and it was through this same accident sho remained in north Greenland with the party instead of coming back with the Heilprin party. If Lieut. Peary had been landed in good eondi- tion with dogs, winter clothing, plenty of sup- ies, fuel and in perfect physical health Mrs, Peary would have returned as she was expected to do by her family; but when instead, without dogs, ‘without « complete supply of winter clothing, without guides and without even knives, forks und spoons (these were left in the Kite’s hold by an oversight), he was curried on shore in a litter, weak and’ helpless, the wife would not desert him. ——_—_+o>+____ MR, FOSTER'S FINANCIAL TALKS, Some Results of His Conferences in New York Yesterday. Secretary Foster in New York yesterday con- sulted with Henry W. Cannon, president of the Chase National Bank; Colis P. Huntington, 8. V. White and other prominent financiers. “The Secretary,” said Mr. Cannon, “expresses himself well satisfied with the situation. He would have been glad to have the banks tako out more circulatiou, but as they declined to do vo, he was well satisfied to pay money for the redemption of the 434 per contbonds, as he did not think there had ever beens time when the money would do more good to the country than af present. No, there is not the slightest chance now of the fulfillment of the plan for some banks to take out £5,000,000 of currency against extended 43¢ per centbonds. The sub- scriptions to that proposition nave been can- celed and the Secretary's visit here had no ref- erence to that proposition so far as I ain aware of. I believe his visit here is entirely unofii- cial and mainly for the purpore of recreation.” One result of the visit of Secretary Foster was the temporary suspeusion of the day Timiting to $580,000 a day the deposit of money at the subtreasury for shipment by Washing- ton treasury to other places. ‘The Grady Statue, ‘The head, shoulders and trank of the bronze statue of Heury W.

SATURDAY. sian volunteer fleet through the Dardanelles is quickening the British foreign office in its ef- forts to obtain concerted action on the part of the treaty powers in demanding full explana- tions from the porte. Within two days Lord Salisbury’s attitude appears to have changed from one of pretended indifference into one of keen diplomatic activity. From Chateau Cecil, whore he still abides, he has woke up the offi- cials of the foreign department here, through whom night and day cipher dispatches pass in s stream to and from the European capitals. A high official of the department, who was re- cently of the opinion that the Moscowa -inci- dent would not affect the exist relations between Great | Britain an Turkey, now takes the view that tho Russo-Turkish ment will make necessary an early demonstration on the part of Great Britain, even if she has to act alone. The porte’s statement is evidently intended to cover Turkey's responsibility in the event of the expected combined representation of the wers. Lord Salisbury’s position, as it is un- lerstood to have been communicated to the powers, is that the Russo-Turkish ment is ‘an evasion of the treaty of Paris. Turkey could notassent to an open and flagrant violation of the treaty by giving Russia the right to send war skips through the straits, but she makes concessions tantamount to the same privilege in permitting the passage through the Dar- danelles of a volunteer fleet equipped with guns and filled with soldiers. Be the developments of diplomacy in this case swift or slow, British intervention ultimately appears to be inevit- able. YRANCE TO SUPPORT THE SULTAN. Asa result of the position which Lord Salis- bury has now definitely taken the Paris Temps tonight, after contending that the sultan has a right to grant Russia a special privilege, com- pares the Russian volunteer flect with the Brit- ish steamers built for armament in time of war. This argument indicates France's line of response to the British remonstrances. ‘The fact is when the treaty of Paris was concluded it was not foreseen that vessels would be de- signed of mixed merchant aud war character. The article reserving to the sultan the right to grant firmans for the passage of the Darda- nelles is precisely defined as limited to Ba ments Legers destined for the use_of legations or as guard ships for the mouth of the Danube, ‘The Temps distinctly indicates that the French government intends to support the sultan’s right to enter into a special contract with Rus- sia outside of the articles of the treaty. THEOSOPHY 48 A FAD. The theosophy fad is infecting society through and through. Spiritualism, long dormant, is experiencing an energetic revival. ‘The newspapers publish columns of letters from and interviews with theosophists inti- mate with Mabatmas. Claimants are daily arising who offer to demonstrate their posses- sion of powers transcending ordinary material conditions. The Society for Paychical Re- search, which, after an inquiry into Mme. Blavataky's claims, pronounced her an im- jester and Col Olcott a dupe, challenges Mrs. Besant to submit to an investigation. Mr. Foote, president of the Secular Society, makes asimilar challenge. Meanwhile Mrs. Besant, Col. Oleott and other leaders of the theosophists tell the fashionable crowd nightly filling the Blavatsky Hull that belief must pre- cede miraculous Visions, and that messuges from the Mahatmas are only sccorded to disciples trained in occultism. Mrs. Besant addressed the United Demo- cratic Club, impressing the audience with her earnestness and sincerity. Her personal his- tory renders her conversion no surprise to her friends. Her overstrained, nervous sensitive- ness and unstable, neuretic temperament are likely to make her a victim of delusions. Nev- ertheless, the movement she leads has assumed, at least temporarily, considerable social im: ortance. ‘Ihe Theosophist Society is artang- ing for a mission in America. Probably Mrs. Besant, Herbert Burrows and Col. Olcott will go to Japan and India. ‘TRANBY CROFT AGAIN. The annguncement that the Prince of Wales will revisit Tranby Croft this autumn evokes loud outcries from the religious press. The Methodist Times asks ifthe prince has nota single friend in touch with British people, and warns him that his conduct excites deep emo- tion among the middle and working classes, on which the stability of the throne rests. ‘The facts are thut the Wilsons, who were at Hom- burg while the Prince of Wales was there, in- duced the prince to accept an indefinite invita- tion. The Prince of Wales joins the family group in Copenhagen about the middie of this month. The Wilsons will entertain at Tranby Croft during Doncaster week, Gen. Owen Will- iams, Lord Coventry and others of the bace: Tot set without the Prince of Wales. THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION. With the straits trouble is directly involved the question of Egypt. Moukhtar Pasha, the porte’s commissioner in Cairo, has renewed his demand through the khedive for the evacua- tion of Egypt by the th. Cairo advices state that if, this demand 1s refused Moukhtar Pasha will ask the sultan to recall him and to leave the post vacant as a protest against the Khedive's contuinacy toward the suzerain. SIR WILLIAM WINTE TO RETIRE. The British ambassador at Constantinople, Sir William White, is on the worse possible personal terms with the sultan, who has re- peatedly made excuses to avoid seeing him, id it is reported tonight that Sir William is about to be replaced. ‘The Austrian ainbas- sador in Turkey, Baron von Cualice, who has been on leave at Vienna, had a long conference with Count Kalnoky in regard to the Dar- danelles question and started to return to his post at Constantinople yesterday evening, charged to support England’s ‘diplomatic policy. RELATIONS WITH CHILI, The agent ‘of the Chilian junta sent to the Britivh foreign office yesterday a note in refer- ence to the silver carried from Chili by the British war ship Espiegle. The bullion will be impounded on its arrival in England, and will be retained pending a legal decision on the junta’s rights to it. Diplomatic "relations etween Great Britain and Chili are in a cl otic state. Balmaceda's last envoy. Senor Vicuna, never presented his credentials here, and he is now in Paris awaiting developments. The junta’s agent, who has long been secretly holding friendly communications with the gov- erniment.will obtain every assistance in captar- ing the silver. THE AUSTRIAN ARMY MANEUVERS. A Berlin dispatch says that according to per- sonal statements from some of the Prussian officers in attendance at the Austrian maneu- vers they are not favorably impressed with the condition of Austrian troops. The Hungarians of manhood, but the Aus- jerma: y say, are distinctly inferior to the Prussians, and both Hungariansand Aus- triaus show a lack of perfect discipline. ‘These defects are frankly commented upon by Ger- man military men and donot inspire confidence as to the part of Austria in a future war. On the other hand, as one Russian critic points out, something must be allowed for the intense hatred which the Hungarians bear toward the Russians, and which would probably make the Hungarians inyinctble in a conflict with their old enemies of 1849. This feeling stronger than any animus ‘vor felt against the Austrians, as the Hungarians look upon Russia as an outside nation that interfered to prevent them from gaining the independence they were about to grasp. It is said that Hungarian chil- dren are taught to remember ‘4 and the share of Russia in that year of tragedy. For this reason the critie quoted suggests that Hun- garlan vongeance would, in a conflict with Rus- more than make up for lack of discipline. ‘THE MEETING OF THE EMPERORS. In financial circles in London marked atten- be attached to the meeting of the emperors of Germany and Austro-Hungary than to any other signs which at presout_ 9) on the European political hor mier, Count Kalnoky, and his minister of nance, M.

Louis Bulling, the St. Joseph, Mo., wife mur- @erer, was hanged yesterday afternoon. Just before the time for the execution the doomed man shot himself in a vain effort to commit suicide, and finally died on the gallows shriek- ing for mercy and cursing his executioners. Up tos few days ago Bulling seemed cheerful and hopeful in the face of his approaching death. He had twice before cheated the gallows by jail-breaking. He reasoned that that chance still remained, and to it might be added two others—commutation of sentence and suicide. One of these chances failed. Early last week it was discovered that Bulling had planned to break jail the third time. Steel saws were found ‘in his cell and they were taken away preroel ear orpetual guard was kept over him, an vinilofs were searched betere being permitted to enter. All means of escape were cut off,and then the doomed man sent for his father and mother, aud pleaded with them to appeal to the governor fora commutation of sentence. The faithful parents went to Jefferson City and had several personal interviews with Gov. Francis, but the governor was firm in his decision to not interfere. Still the parents did not lose heart. They made another call on the governor yes- terday, and pleaded for their son's life. The joveruor would not interpose. Then Mr. and rs. Bullin; telegraphed their son the gov- ernor’s decision, and followed the message to Savannah. They had an affecting parting from the doomed man Thursday night. When Bull- ing’s second chance for life disappeared he broke down completely. When he received from his parents the message that the governor was obdurate he fainted. BY DOSES OF OPIUM. He wasaconfirmed opium eater and during the night he was given large doses of the drug. It failed to have its accustomed effect and the condemned murderer slept less than two hours during the entire night. ‘The Rev. August La- vake, during Bulling’s waking hours, spent the time in reading the Bible and praying, exhort- ing Bulling to confess his sins and receive bay tism. Sheriff Barry had set the hour for the execution at 10 o'clock yesterday mornin; When he went to the cell at 6 to prepare the doomed man for ,execution Bulling pleaded so pitifully for an extension of a few hours that the sheriff yielded and gave him until 2 o'clock ive. Bulling ate breakfast and spent the rest of the timo in pleading with the sheriff for mercy and attending to the religious exercises con- ducted by Key. Lavake. He still bad famt hope of commutation, but at noon submitted to the baptismal ceremony and received the sacrament. When 2 o'clock arrived he re- newed his supplications to the sheriff and pleaded for one hour more.’ The sheriff granted his request. The sheriff then retired, Jeaving the murderer with the Rev. Lavake, at the same time removing the guard from the cell door at Bulling’s request to be left alone with his spiritual adviser. FAILED TO KILL HIMSELF. The silence of the jail was broken only by the voice of the priest, when suddenly two shots rang out. The sheriff ran to the cell. ‘The priest lay on the floor; at his side lay Bul- ling, weltering in his own blood, which flowed from wounds in his breast. "He had shot himself twice with a revolver. The priest had fainted. An examination of Bulling’s body showed that one of the bullets had entered the left breast and glancing from a rib had passed around his body and come out of his back. The other bullet only made a slight flesh wound in his leit side. He swore at them in ahorrible manner. The deputies dragged the struggling man tothe court yard and lifted him to the allows. He refused to stand, and they placed im upon chair. As he sat there he pre- sented a revolting right. He was dressed only in shirt and trousers. His hands and face were covered with blood, which also stained his shirt, and blood was streaming through his shoes. He cursed and swore at the deputies, cried and screamed for mercy and shricked in terror. Finally he was told fo get up and stand upon the drop. He refused, and four deputies held him up while the rope was being adjusted. The black cap was placed over his head and, screaming, curs- ing and blaspheming, he shot through the opening at exactly 3:21 o'clock. His neck was broken by the fall and he died almost instantly. THE PRIEST ARRESTED. The Rev. Lavake has been arrested for giv- ing Bulling the revolver with which he at- tempted to commit suicide. Rev. Lavake de- clines to be interviewed. Bulling’s cell was thoroughly searched and no weapon was found. The only persons admitted to the cell since that time were a newspaper man, the deputies and the Rev. Lavake. Suspicion rested upon the latter and he was urrested. Bulling’s crime was the murder of his wife. He ruined her when she was fifteen years old, four years before the murder, and was forced to marry her. He was brutal to her and she left him, securing work in the Herbert House in St. Joseph. Bulling, failing to persuade her to live with him, went to the hotel, January 29, 1883, enticed her into a room and shot her three times. Wien the hotel proprietor rushed into the room Bulling tried to kill him, but was overpowered. His defense was insanity. He has spent over three years in the jails of Buchanan and Andrews counties, his case hav- ing been transierred to the latter county ona change of venue. He has bad three trials and two hearings before the supreme court and has been sentenced to hang four different times. Three times he has attempted to escape, the last being almost successful. ,He was to have been executed April 17 last, but on the night of April 9 he broke out of the Savannah jail. Af- ter an exciting chase, in which many shots were exchanged, he wus captured on the 25th of June by two Chicago policemen. He was taken back to Savannah and resentenced. THE FAST MAIL FROM JAPAN, An Event of Much Importance to Great Britain, Says the London Times. The London Times, in a column leader, says that the transport of mails from Yoko- hama across the American continent will, in all probability, be delivered in London within twenty-one days. ‘The leader goes on to give the time in cross- ing the Pacific ocean and mentions the fuct that the mail train nccomplished the distance | from Vancouver to Brockville at the rate of twenty-six miles per hour over the Canadian Pacific and reached New York over the New York Central road at a speed of filty-one mik perhour. Of course this remarkable perform- ance must be considered as a tour de force, for ordinarily it could not be expected that means would fit so exactly throughout as to enable mails liaded at Vancouver at noon on Satur- day to be shipped at New York early on the morning of the following Wednesday. It may be assumed, therefore, that ordinary | travel would be nearer twenty-five than twenty- one days: However, it shows what can be done in case of emergency and says that the Cana- dian Pacific affords an alternative route to the east through British territory. The route is established and its advantages are at the serv- ice of the empire in time of need. ‘The deliv- ery of mails in London within twenty-o. days of leaving Yokohama is a feat never before ac- complished, #uficiently remarkable in itself. It is pregnant with untold issues of the future British empire. ———__+e+_____ ‘Mr, Blaine’s Return.

And the wider the publicity the better, other things being equal. He might just as well put the money he pays for advertising into an old stock- img and bury tt in the back yard as to print his inducements where they will not be seen by the particular people whose Attention he aims to attract. What he should use, therefore, is THE NEWSPA- PER THAT IS READ BY THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PERSONS LIKELY TO WANT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER. Mere EXTENT of circulation does not always insure the kind of publicity required by the advertiser. It is the QUALITY of cir culation that tells, as weil as its extent. ‘That, indeed, is the vital factor in the Problem the advertiser has to solve. Sen- ational and scandalous cess-pool jour- nals, thet are chiefly circulated in the slums of @ city, and read by the riff-raff of the town, may and often do have avery considerable circulation, asthe number of copies printed end bandied indicate, but they are merely glanced at to see whether the new scandal is worse than the old one, and then tossed into the gutters, where they belong. They are consequently worth nothing to the men or women whose eim 1s to reach reputable and responsible peo- ple with euch business announcements as they may desire to make. ‘What is needed in such @ case is an en- terprising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- fully edited FAMILY newspaper,—one that can safely be put in any hands, whose contents tell the whole world’s news story Of today, (not of last week or yesterday) and which is eagerly and profitably read from beginning to end every day by every member of the household, from its dual bead down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies and children ofthe family. Such a journal is THE EVENING STAR. It has both EXTENT and QUALITY of circulation within the field it occupies in “greater degree than any other paper in the world. In these respects it is abso- lutely without @ rival, anywhere, and there is no paper in Washington worth talking about in comparison with it In Verification of this claim, LOOK AT THE FIGURES: For the six months ending with the 30th of June last THE STAR'S average daily circulation was 34,064, For e popula- tion of 250,000 this aggregate is some- thing phenomenal, even where the city of Publication is surrounded by prosperous and populous villages and thickly settled agricultural districts, as most places of thst size are. In this respect, bov-ever, ‘Washington difters from other cities. She 1s practically isolated, having few outly- ing towns subordinate to her or identified with her interests. The circulation of THE STAR is, consequently, almost en- Urely @ HOME CIRCULATION, with e jarger percentage of the whole output regularly delivered by carriers at the ree- idence of permanent subscribers within the city where printed than any other Paper that can be named, no matter in ‘what city or country the same may be printed. This is demonstrated by the foi- lowing daily average UNPARALLELED SHOWING: Served by carriers in the city, - - 23,377 ee, - - - = + + + o27e By mail to outlying pointa, - - - 1,415 Tol - - - - - - 34,064 sbout these figures. They ere substan- tiated under the solemn obligations of an cath, and they may be further verified by an examination of the books of the office ‘and inspection of its press and delivery interest in the correctness of the exhibit. Few newspapers are willing to submit to #o trying an ordeal. But THE STAR does it cheerfully. It has nothing to con- eal, and no motive for exaggeration. The truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is ite business motto. 4s THE STAR tn sists on ite right to know how many pounds of ink it gets when it buys e barrel of that articie,and how many pounds of paper it pays for in one of the immense rolls delivered at its press rooms, so it is willing that ite advertising patrons shell know exactly HOW MUCH and WHAT KIND of publicity they are getting when ‘they put an announcement in its column. It claims to be THE one Washington pe- per that is ‘taken by the family, for the family, and read by the family, and es pectally by all the people in the city who ‘want things and are abie to pay for them, and it ts willing to have its claims sub- jected to the most exheustive and conciu- sive tests that can be devised. In other words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS THE WHOLE FIELD. ITS FAMILY CIR- CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THRER | TIMES AS LARGE 48 THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF ITS READERS IN THE CITY 18 FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER. ¢ ‘These are the qualities that constitute “Values in A@vertising,” and make THB EVENING STAR en unequalled business belp ;
