a . KILLED HIS FATHER “SLOODY WORK OF AN INSANE MAN AT VINELAND, N. J. . ‘The Entire Family Is Crazed by Re- gion, but When the Father Re- covers From the Frenzy and De- clines to Further Participate in the Orgies He Is Beaten to Death by One of His Sons, New York, Dec. 16.—At Vineland, N. J., to-day, a crowd of armed men bat- tered down 'the door of the home of Luigi Jurio, cut through the cellar, and after a struggle captured Antonio Jurio, who had brutally murdered his father. In the cellar with the murder- er were his mother and brother, all insane with religious frenzy. Until recently the Jurio family were living happily, but the death of a younger son seemed to turn the minds of them all. Since that time they have been exhibiting religious frenzy, and a few weeks ago two of the sons, one of whom was Antonio, were arrested and sent to jail. They were discharged a day or two ago and the father, Luigi Jurio, incurred the wrath of Antonio by refusing any longer to indulge in the insane and boisterous religious service. Antonio in his rage to-day seized a club and attacked his father. Outside the house he dealt the old man a terrific blow on the head, and when the old man had fallen he planted his foot on his chest and pounded his father’s head into a shapeless mass. Crowds of people saw the murder but none dared interfere to save the man’s life. Finally two of the spectators se- sured guns and at the sight of these Antonio fled to his home. A posse was formed and a crowd of armed men surrounded the house. But the place had been barricaded and it was neces- sary before an entrance could be ef- fected to batter in the door. The family were heard shrieking and pray- ing in the cellar, the trap door of which had been fastened down below. Then axes were secured and a large section of the floor cut away. Half a dozen men, prepared for any emerg- ency, dropped down into the dark hole where the crazy Italians had taken their stand, and after a territic struggle managed to bind the murderer with ropes. He was then hoisted up and carried off to jail along with his insane mother and brother. WHO IS HART? Supposed Western Swindier Under Arrest in ~ York, New York, Dec. 16—Search among the effects of James C. Hart, accused of swindling Mrs. Elizabeth M. Dela Barre out of $9,000 worth of diamonds, has caused the police here to believe that Hart had carried’ on extensive swindling schemes in the West. There were several letter heads of the firm of “R. R. Howell & Co., mill and mill- ers’ supplies, Minneapolis.” There were also a lot of cards of “R. R. How- ell, purchasing agent for R. R. Howell & Co., The Rookery, Minneapolis.” There were also letter heads of the firm of “Matthews & McCarroll, ‘bi- cycle dealers and commission mer- chants, [55 Madison street, Chicago.” ‘There was also an account book of the last mentioned firm with the Union Trust Company of Chicago and a check on the Union Trust for $358.29, signed by the name of the same firm. A Union Trust company check book and a book of promisscry notes were also among the effects. Minneapolis, Dec. 16. — The New York police wired the Minneapolis au- thorities to-day for the record of Jas. Hart, who has been going under the alias of R. R. Howell, Jr., of Minne- apolis, and who is under arrest in New York on the charge of fraudulently obtaining money from young girls. It. R. Howell & Co. of this city informed the police that Hart had been traveling through the East representing himself as a son of the senior member of the firm and had raised considerable money on this representation, giving them no end of trouble. A Colorado Populist at the Head of a Volunteer Movement. Denver, Dec. 16.—It is claimed by leaders that a movement is being or- ganized here to send troops to Cuba, about 1,000 being already enrolled. John McAndrew, middle-of-the-road Populist candidate for attorney gen- eral at the recent election, has beem chosen commander. Mr. McAndrew said last night that the volunteers will not leave Denver by stealth, as was originally proposed, nor by trains, but will go overland either on foot or horseback, gathering men on the line of march till they reach where they will make a great army. He thinks further interference with their plans would precipitate a revolution in this country. ANTU THE GULD KHGILUN. A New Transportation Company Is Being Organized.

St. Paul, Dec. 16. — Sheriff Water- man of Barron, Wis., interviewed and examined to-day at the central police station Peter Dedario and Joseph Ala- mietto, the Italian laborers arrested in this city for supposed complicity in a recent murder near Barron.

He was held to await further develop- ments. i s i POWERS ARE ACTING. Turks Must Come to Time and That at Once. Constantinople, Dec. 15.—The ambas- sadors of the powers have sent a joint note to the porte demanding the recall within forty-eight hours of the porte’s special envoy to Crete, Saad-d-Bin Pasha, who is accused of thwarting the reforms projected there. ‘These reforms included the nomination of the Christian governor of Crete, which was accorded, eccnomic autonomy with the payment of a tribute to the sultan, the reorganization of the gen @’armerie by European officers and the independence of the judiciary of Crete by the creation of a high court at Cenea. W GOLD F ‘DS. Faribault Citizens Said to Be Chas- ing the Duck. Faribault, Minn., Dec. 15. — A few days ago th city was thrown into a fever of excitement by the discovery of several small nuggets of fine gold in the crop of a domes duck. The duck had been purchased at Tuttle’s butcher shop by Mr. Straub, a jeweler of this city, who naturally was a good judge of the precious metal. The gold was mixed with perhaps two or three heaping tablespoorfuls of | quartz gravel, showing that the duck had been feeding on the head of a small stream. Mr. Straub showed his gold findings to several well known pros- pectors and miners of this city, and among them William H. Grant, the leading mining expert, who at once proclaimed it genuine quartz and genu- ine gold of a very rich kind. This ex- pert de ion raised the excitement and Tuttle experienced a raid on his stock of slaughtered ducks and in a short time was cleaned out, and Faribault never in its history could match the day for duck crop exploiting as was the 9th day of December, 1896. No one will tell whether or not they se- cured dny nuggets. However, the gold laden duck was traced and finally proven that its last feeding was in the neighborhood of land in this state, and when the Ss melted and winter gives place to s search will be made for the hitherto undiscovered gold bearing region.

I‘ve just dropped down to find that you Have got the drop on me!” —Hobart HETTY AND CARISTMAS TIME INA Just ahead of me, on Grand street, the other night, and stopping here and there to look into the shop windows, was a girl of ten. Her toes peeped out of her old shoes—her dress was ragged and thin—the old shawl which covered her head and shoulders had more rents than warmth. I knew where the girl came from— from some of the cross streets with their tall tenements and little rooms and dark hallway I knew why she was flitting from window to window, despite the cold wind sweeping up from the bay and the frosty air com- pelling pedestrians to hurry along. Christmas was near at hand. Tightly clasped in her hand was something to buy with—a nickel, perhaps, but more likely a penny. By and by, as she halted for a longer time than usual, I advanced and said: “It's a cold night for a little girl like you to be out on the streets.” She drew away and started on, but stopped and looked me over. After half a minute she came closer, and asked: “Have you a little brotker Jim?” “No, child.” “I have. He's a lame boy, and can’t get out, and I want to buy him a Christmas present.” “So your brother Jim is going to hang up his stocking on Christmas eve, is he?” “N—no, sir. He hasn’t any stockings to hang up. but I’m going to buy him something.” “Tiow long has he been lame?” “Oh- ever so long. He fell down stairs and broke his hip when he was a baby, and he can’t get out, you see.” “How old is little Jim?” I asked, as we turned to look at the toys in the window. “How old?” she repeated, as a trou- } bled look came into her face. “He can’t be twenty-seven, can he?” “Not and be ‘Little Jim.’ You said | he was a boy.” “Then he must be seven or eight. I can’t read nor spell, you see, though I can count up to fifteen. Yes, he’s a boy—a iame boy—and he has to lay abed most of the time. He’s all the family I’ve got. What are you laugh- ing about?” “About your family. Haven’t you a i sir. He got drowned ever so long ago.” { “But you have 2, mother?” “No, sir. She’s dead. We live with Aunt Mary. You don’t know her, do you? Well, she’s awful good to us. She’s got a lame back and a sore hand, | and can’t work, but says God won't let | us starve to death. She didn’t have but a few pennies, but she gave me tus one to buy something for little m.”” “And how about you? Don’t you get a Christmas present?” i “No, sir; I’m too big ,you see, and then we've got to save our money to buy bread. Have you got lots of bread at home?” “Enough to last a week, I guess.” “How nice! You must be rich! You live on Fifth avenue, don’t you?” “No.” “But you must be rich. My, but what nice clothes you've got on! If you wanted a whole pound of candy to once you could,buy it, couldn’t you? Are you laughing at my clothes?” “No, dear. Let’s go inside. Do you think those stockings up there would fit little Jim?” “Yes. I know they would.” “And how about yours?” “J--haven't any!’ she stammered, as | she stepped back to show her bare ankles, | “Then these are for Little Jim and these are for you. Here are shoes, too. ; Sit down and try on a pair.” When we had shees and stockings we bought a pair of mittens, some cali- co for dresses, a warm hood and a child’s shawl; and then we went to aj grocery and purchased a few things for Christmas dinner. When that tot of a girl found her feet in “real” stock- ings and shoes she looked around the store and up at me, and rubbed away at her eyes, as if she believed it all a dream. When we started to go she took my hand and drew mie aside and whispered: “Are you going to steal me away from Aunt Mary and Little Jim?” | “No, child.” “Then you must want me to marry you?” “Not just yet. stockings feel?” “Say- I could couldn't I? mouth-” She picked up a piece of paper off the floor, spat on it and rubbed away at?’ her mouth and chin, and when I laughed she said: “T don’t want you to be ashamed of me, you knew!” And from the grocery we went round into Hester street, and up the stairs of a tenement to a single room on the fourth floor. There we found Aunt Mary and Little Jim—the one a middle- aged, hard-working, woman, who washed windows and scrubbed and cleaned, and who was bearing her bur- den without complaint—the other a boy of eight, who will never see more of God’s sunshine than filters through the window of the tenement in which he drags out his weary days. And Aunt Mary broke down and wept, and Little Jim and his sister Betty hugged each other and laughed and shouted, and when I went away I felt that $3 or $4 could not have been better-expended. Jim and Betty -will hang up their stockings before going to sleep Christmas eve, and Sania Claus, who never forgets the poor of How do the shoes and go on Broadway, Hold on till I wash off my tachment in Mayville, Wis. About two months ago a cat gave birth to two kittens in a nest adjoining the hen house. Before the little ones were old enough to open their eyes, a hen, ob- serving them in their bed, went and sat upon them, covering them as she would little chickens. This she still continues to do, and will fight with a vengeance any person who attempts to take them from her. As they peep out from under her wings she pushes them back with her beak, and t to them in the hen language. She leaves them only an hour or two ev- ery day in order to get food. The mother cat nurses the kittens and does not in the least object to the authority usurped by’ the hen, and a strong at tachment has been formed between the kittens and the hen.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Needed More Evidence. A young curate came to Dr. Temple one day and said: “My lord, it is ru- mored that you are not able to believe in special interpositions of providence on behalf of certain-persons. “Well?” grunted the bishop. “Well, my lord, here is the case of my aunt. My aunt journeys to Exeter every Wednesday by the same train and In the same com- partment of the same carriage invari- ably. Last Wednesday she felt a dis- inclination to go, and that very day an accident occurred by which the car- riage of the train in which my aunt would have traveled was smashed to pieces. Now, was not that a direct in- terposition of providence on behalf of my aunt?” “Can’t say,” growled the bishop; “don’t know your aunt.”—St. James Gazette.

The substance is dissolved in acetone, and made into a splint which fits the body, by taking a plaster cast of the part to which it will be applied, and lining the cast with felt.

Cory, of the New Yory School of Industrial Art and Tecchnical Design for Women. “Man- ufacturers still send abroad for many thousand designs yearly, which they would prefer to get here if they could, and which could just as well be made here. The work is pleasant, remuner- ative, and it is comparatively easy to learn how to do it. Any woman of av- erage intelligence can become a good designer in two years, and when she has done so she will not have the mor- tification of seeing men better paid than herself for work that is not so good as her own. In this work the sexes stand on an equal footing, and if there is any advantage, the women have it, for some of them have received higher salaries than were ever paid to men. Most manufacturers prefer wo- men designers,” she adds: “They do the work better; they take more inter- est in it and are more origiral and un- conventional than men. Moreover, most of the articles of trade and com- merce for which designers are required are made for women, and women know best what women want.” Catarrh Cannot Be Curea with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promi ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by al} who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the gennne arti- cle; which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by allreputable sts. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, ene chould have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most jargely used anigives most general satisfact GRAIN AND PROVISIONS ty. pondence S, a eae JARD OF TRADE. « \}
