TOWN SHELLED;
MANY KILLED
fierce and Bloody Battle at Paerto
Cabelio, Veaezaela.
OVE r 689 PEOPLE WERE KILLED
evolutionary Leader, Paredes,
Refused to Surrender the
Town Peaceably.
Advices from Puerto Cabelio, Vene
cia, state that General Paredes, a
former commander in the army of ex-
President Andrade, who had refused
the demand made upon him by Gen
eral Cipriano Castro and the de facto
authorities to surrender the town,
even when this was re-enforced by the
reouest of the British, French, Amer
ican German and Dutch commanders,
surrendered Sunday morning at 10
o'clock, after a terrible battle.
The aspect of the city is one of ruin
jnd devastation, and it is estimated
that upward of 650 persons were
hilled or wounded during the fighting.
Dr. Braisted, of the United States
cruiser Detroit, and the other sur
geons of the various warships in the
harbor, are ministering to the wants
of the wounded.
General Bamon Guerra began a
land attack upon the town and the
position of General Paredes on Friday
night.
Desultory fighting continued until
Saturday morniug about 4 o’clock,and
then a fierce struggle ensued. Gen
eral Paredes made a stubborn defense
but General Guerra forced an en
trance into the town at 5 o’clock
Sunday.
As early as 8 o’clock Sunday morn
ing the fleet began a bombardment
but the raugo was too great, and the
firing proved ineffective.
General Paredes held the fort on the
hill and Fort Liberator until Sunday
morning.
TO BUY “BEAUVOIR.”
Jefferson Davis’ Old Mansion May Bo
Used For Soldiers’ Home.
At Saturday’s session of the conven
tion of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy at Richmond, Ya., the
movement of several gentlemen to buy
“Beauvoir” and turn it into a home for
confederate soldiers and sailors was
endorsed. Mrs. Davis offers to sell
“Beauvoir” for that purpose for
$25,000.
The idea of the promoters of the
scheme of the purchase is at present
to issue certificates of $1 each aud sell
them throughout the south. It is
probable that General Fitzhugh Lee,
General Joseph Wheeler, or some
other distinguished Confederate will
be asked to accept the position of
president of the association, which
will be known as the “Southern Home
Association for Confederate Veterans,”
and that vice presidents will be ap
pointed in each state.
BECKER PAYS PENALTY.
German Bntclier at Chicago Hung; for
Murder of HU Wife.
Albert August Becker, the German
butcher who, on January 27th last,
murdered his wife, Rachael, and after
wards chopped up and boiled the re
inains iu order to dispose of them,
was lmnged in the county jail at Chi
cago, Friday.
Ike case of August Becker in many
ways bore a remarkable similarity to
°1 Adolph Luetgert. Both of the
condemned men were butchers, and
. e motive for the crime was the same
'a <oth instances, the desire to get rid
( the wife in order to marry a younger
woman. The manner of committing
crimes was also much the same,

extremely brutal in the killing,

REPORTER WORTH A MILLION,
Now Editor end Proprietor of the Jersey
City Journal.
Col. Sheffield Phelps, owner of the
Jersey City Journal, was the richest
newspaper man in America several
years ago. From his father, the late
William Walter Phelps, he inherited a
fortune of several millions, and under
his active and practical management
lie made his newspaper the foremost
journal of tho State.
At the end of his first year he was
bitterly attacked by his political ene
mies, who brought libel suits for many
hundreds of thousands of dollars
against him, but be won easily In the
courts. Since then he has been a pow
erful political factor in Hudson Coun
ty, and his course lias been signally In
dorsed by Gov. Voorhees.
The Colonel, whose title comes from
appointment on the staff of Gov.
Griggs, lives In one of the showy places
of the State, directly opposite New
York City, on the crest of the Pali
sades. The family estate comprises
more than 3,000 acres. It is probably
tho costliest farm in America. The
land Is worth In the neighborhood of
?3,000,000 for building purposes.
After his graduation from Yale, In
1880, Col. Phelps began active news
paper work as a reporter on the World
at New York. Later ho became an ed
itorial writer on the Mall and Express,
and afterword filled the position of act
ing managing editoron the same paper.
Once, while on the World staff, he
was sent to report the wedding of the
daughter of a Wall street man recently
from the West. The reporters were
met at the front door by a trained ser
vant, who quickly separated them from
the guests and led them to the host’s
privato room, where the banker met
them in person, and gave them type
written slips containing the Informa
tion they were sent for. Then cham
pagne was opened, and the banker took
some cigars from a drawer In his desk.
“Have one,” ho said to Phelps.
"They’re genuine conchas. I Import
them myself.”
"Thanks,” said Phelps pleasantly, as
he took the cigar. “Have one of mine.
They’re real as cum madams.” —Phila-

People Who Live in Nests.
Travellers who have returned from
the heart of Africa and the Australian
continent, toll wonderful stories of
nest-building people who inhabit the
wilds of those countries.
In the bushmen of Australia we find
perhaps the lowest order of men that
are known. They are so primitive that
they do not know enough to Duild even
the simplest form of huts for shelter.
The nearest they could approach to
it Is to gather a lot of twigs and grass,
and taking them into a thicket or jun
gle, they build a nest for a home,
much as does a bird. The nest is usu
ally bulP large enough for the family,
and if the latter be very numerous then
the nests are of a very large size.
Into this place they all turn and
snuggle and curl up together like so
many kittens. Sometimes the foliage
will grow together and form a sort of
natural covering, but there is never
any attempt at constructing a protec
tion from the rain and storms, and it
is a marvel how they endure them.
Where there is a particularly good
piece of jungle for home sites it will
be quickly appropriated for the pur
pose, and sometimes hundreds of these
nests will be found together in the
bush, as It is called.

swetheart! Sammie’s Snllie's slave!
Society shall soon see something start
ling!"
Saturday Sallle sat sewing steadily,
singing softly. Suddenly seeing Sam
mie’s shadow, she seized scissors, snip
ped savagely, still singing softly.
Sammie said slyly, ‘‘Sweetheart,
sing Sammie something sadly sweet.”
Sallie started—seemingly surprised—
saying: “Sammie Sampson, stop saying
such silly stuff. Spoony sentiments
sound soft. Say something sensible.”
Sammie Straightaway said: “Sweet
est Sallie, set some time soon.” Sally
serenely said, “Say Sunday.” “Surely,
surely,” shouted Sammie, supremely
satisfied.

I con now work all day aud not get

done for me. I shall always praise
your medicine to all suffering women.”

and I can say that your remedies will
do all that you claim for them. Before
taking your remedies I was very bad
with womb trouble, was nervous, had
no ambition, could not sleep, and my

am well, and your medicine has cured
me. I will gladly recommend your med
