Going to school is among the hardships
of children. The pills of knowledge are
now sugar-coated, and school-housts are
sometimes made attractive with music and
flowers and pictures, and teachers who un
derstand and practice the luw of kindness.
In such cases children are glad when the

It.asiilis for not Accepting the Chairman
ship of tlin National Committee.
From tile New York Herald.
Washington, July 18.—There seems to
lie considerable luisundtrstanding regard
ing Senator Gorman’s refusal to serve as
chairman of the Democratic 'national
committee. A Philadelphia paper to-day,
for example, attributes Mr. Gorman’s re
fusal to a fear that the tariff issue will
cause the defeat of the Democrats next
autumn, and that he does not intend to
make himself apertyto the defeat by ss-
suaiing any responsibility for the cam
paign.
Senator Gorman, in conversation with a
Herald representative to-day, disposes of
the ujaiiti iu toe following emphatic lan
guage :
“It is true I did not want the national
committee chairmanship. Neither did 1
desi e to serve on the committee at all.
But my objections were personal, not |mj-
liticai. My connection with the national
committee in 1884 kept me busy about
three years. My work began esrlv in the
canvass. You might think it ended with
Mr. Cleveland’s •. lection, but it did not.
Every politician I had met during the
campaign who wanted an ofiiee culled upon
me to asiiot them. When they did not
come theiuselvoa they sent their friends. I
had, for this reason, almost as many de
mands ujkiii me, comparatively speaking,
as the President, with this diflercnce: Mr.
Cleveland had the offices to dispose of nud
I did not.' Naturally enough my private
affairs suffered. This year I shall not even
be a member of my State committee.
“Rather against my wishes 1 accepted a
place on the national committee, and I
may say that my principal reason for do
ing so was to prevent this very charge
which I see has been made—viz., that 1
feared defeat on account of the tariff issue
and wished therefore to avoid all responsi
bility for it. After Congress adjourns,
about the middle of September say, 1 shall
try to take an active part in the campaign
— that is, as active a part aa my business
aflairs will allow.”
“What do you think of Mr. Brice, the
new chairman of the committee?”
“He impressed me as a man of good
sense, bright, intelligent and energetic.
I have no doubt he will make an.excellent
chairman. He will have the assistance of
Mr. Barnum and Mr. Scott, and, as 1 have
said, what I can give him also.”
‘•flow does the outlook in New York,
New Jersey, and the other doubtful States
presen'itself to you?” Senator Gorman
was asked.
‘‘There is no outlook at present," replied
this clever politician in his usual quiet
hut emphatic manner. “The campaign
hns not advanced far enough to afford any
outlook. The lines are not yet drawn.
Nine men out of ten will tell you what
they honestly liojie for, not what they hon-

THE KEY OF HEATH.
Shooing llow n Meilituvnl Lover Revenged
His ltejected Suit. ,
From American Notes and Queries.
About 1000 a stranger named Tebaldo
established himself as a merchant in \ en-
ice. He hecaipe enamored of the daughter
of an ancient house, and, asking her baud,
was rejected, the young lady being already
affianced. Euraged, he set himself to plan
revenge, and, lieing a skillful mechanician,
lie invented a formidable weapon. There
waa a large key, the handle of which could
be turned easily. Being turned it discov
ered a spring, which, when pressed, sent
out irom the other euu of a key a poisoned
needle of sueli fineness that li entered the
flesh and buried itself there, leaving no ex
ternal trace. . ,. ......
With this weapon Tebaldo waited at the
church door till the maiden he loved
passed in to her marriage. Theiij uuper-
ceived, lie sent the slender needle into the
breiist oi the bridegroom, who, M-'ixeu with
a sharp pain from an unknown cause,
fainted, was carried home and soon died,
bU gtrangc illnesi* battling the skill ox the
physicians. Again Tebaldo demanded the
maiden’, hand and was again refused. In
a few days both her parents died in a like
mysterious manner. Suspicion was excit
ed, and on examination of the bodies the
small steel instrument was found 111 the
flesh, ’.'here was universal terror; no one
felt that his own life wss secure.
The young lady went into a convent
during her mourning, and, after a few
months, Tebaldo begged to see and speak
with her, hoping now to bend her to hi*
will. Bita with instinctive horror of this
man, who hail from the first been displeas
ing to her, returned a decisive negative:
Whereupon Teb*ldo contrived to wound
her through the grate. On returning to
her room *he felt a pain in her breast and
discovered a sing'e drop of blood. Sur
geons were hastily summoned. Taught by
the past, they cut into the wounded part,
rin led the needle and saved her life.

Washington, July 27. The House com
raittee on manufactures to-day began an in
vestigation of the so-called whisky trust. J.
M. Atherton, of Louisville, Ky., president of
the J. M. Atherton Co., wss the first witness,
The company was not engaged in distilling
whisky, but in handling the whisky of
firms, who ran the distilling business in
their own names. Witness said most of the
large distiller* of fine Kentucky whisky bad
entered into an agreement by which they
bound themselves to produce no whisky in
the fiscal year 1888. Some few large firms
refused to sign the agreement, nnd there
were also 150 very small distillers who were
not asked to sign the agreement. The agree
ment grew out of the fact that there linil
been n very large over production of whisky,
which could not be consumed in this coun

market, but no buyers Caving been found
much ot tin , whisky Wua coming hack.
In 18S3-4 there was about 7,000,0uo
gallons produced each year, in 1885 about
10,000,0(8), iu 1886 about 8,000,000 and in 1887
about the same quantity. Iu order to pro
tect the owners of this whisky from the cfli-e 1 -
of this over-production, the agreement to
suspend operations from July 1,1887, to.Inly
1, 1888 was entered into. This agreement,
witness desired to say, waa
NOT IN THE NATURE OF A TRUST.
There was no consolidation of property.
The only organization which the witue»s
knew of os having ever existed in the Ken
tucky whisky trade was the Kentucky I 'in-
tillers’ Associatirn, formed about 1879. The
object of this association was the considera
tion of proposed changes in the intern *1
revenue laws and technical trade a flairs It
had nothing to do with production, and the
only time the association took any interest iu
politics waa when after there had been an
accumulation of whisky and it Wanted the
bonded period extended. This failing, thja
association soon disbanded.
The witness ssid that en May 25th, of this
year, a resolution was passed at a meeting of
Kentucky distillers to limit the production
for the fiiscal year of 1899 to lLQMMjjgal

range for ita distribution among parties to
the agreement, but the matter had never
been consummated and probabilities were

Too witness was then examined in regard
to the production to alcohol and spirits as
distinguished from beverage, and asked if
there was a trait in this trade, lie replied
that he believed nearly all distillers north of
the Ohio river were.
MEMBERS OF A TRUST,
each distiller having a common interest in
the business of all others. The headquar
ters were at Peoria, Ills., and 'he president
was II. B. Greenliut, of that place. The
trust also included a few distillers of alcohol
and cheap whisky located in Kentucky, near
Covington. The witness said that ns some
reference might be made to the National
Protective Association of which he was
president, he desired to say that that associ
ation had nothing to do witli the mouufac-
tureorsaleof whisky, bat was organized
solely and entirely for the purpose of oppos
ing the enactment of prohibitory legislation.
The association sent out literature, but hail
never sent a dollar into au election district
nor to a State eapitol.
W. II. Thomas, of Louisville, Ky., a
wholesale whisky dealer with trade of 10,-
000 barrels a year, testified that he knew of
no agreement of distillers of fine Kentucky
whisky other than than mentioned by Mr.
Atherton. The witness was not in favor of
the repeal of the tax for the reason that
every farmer with a stream near bis farm
would go into the business and ruin distill
ers by over-production. With no tax on
whisky, witness believed ther* would he ten
times the amount of it drank.

the order was pas.-cd with a view to check
ing, to some extent, this injury to the pub
lic property. .
Only a .-hurt while ago the colored Odd
Fellows held ila-ir anniversary exercises
in the Superior Court room, and the order
was passed immediately thereafter. Ac
cording to the construction of their
authority, no uu-eting of the citizens can
be held at the court house, nor can the
City Court l e held in tho Superior Court
room unless by permission of the chairman
or the bo.-ml.
The consequence of the clash is that tgo

is right; the commissioners think they are
right; ami the poor prisoners evidently

have w hat the law proposes they should
have, a speedy trial.
Yesterday iu-moon Judge Freeman is-
sued a warrant for Foster Combs, who, it

The matur was pretty generally dis-

ers to prev ut the holding of tho court in
the court house, the law giving them the
control of tlie building. The law further
provides li.at the sheriff, ordinary and
clerk si.all have their offices in the court

ii is in the case of many counties, by the
ordinary if the county. There arc rooms
provided the use of the Superior Court and
ill the set creating the city court the com
missioners were required to furnish a room
for that count, and it was so provided. It
is argued that the term court house ap-

Just lee Freeman ilefniied the Use of the
Court House to ffenr a Case.
Something of a clash occurred yesterday
between the county commissioners anil
Justice Freeman.
It seems that at a recent meeting of the
commissioners an order was passed to the
efiect that the courthouse rooms should not
he used but for ^tbe purposes designated
without permission of the chairman of the
board In the verbal instructions to Clerk
8m i ih hewas told not to allow justice
courts or any public gathering in any of
the rooms without permission, and the
door of the City Court room waa ordered
closed.
Justice Freeman had some three or four
cases sot down for yesterday morning, and
in all of ilieiu the State W08 the plaintiff.
At court hour the prisoners_ and witnesses
•tin iu iue cviuii house and shortly alter
ward Justice Freeman appeared with his
docket. O11 going up the stairs he was
told by the janitor that Clerk Krnith want
ed to see him. The Cily Court room, in
which the conrtjwss to lie held, was locked,
and Clerk Binith informed the Justice of
the order of t'.e commissioners and sug
gested that permission be obtained from the
chairman. I As the Justice and others had
been holding court in the court house, and
believing that the building belonged to
the State and county, and as the cases
about to be tried were those iu which the
State was the plaintiff. Justice Freeman
felt somewhat indignant and refused to
ask permission of the chairman. He
therelore ordered the prisoner* back to
jail and indorsed upon the war
rants that the hearing in the
several cas*s hud been set for the
'J7th, but being refused the use of the court
house, the prisoners must remain in jail
until a place was provided by the cour.tv
in which to iu-ar the cases, or some otiier
court take hold of them.
The Justice claims that the right under
the general and lime-honored custom, of
ling the court house, .1- it belongs to tin-
ate and county and the people.

Atlanta, July 28.—E. T. Shubrick,
assistant keeper of tho Georgia peniten
tiary system, lias made his report fur the
month of June. The report comes rather
late, but lias some points of interest, ami
these are given to the public by the Tele
graph's correspondent. Mr. Shubrick
says;
At Camp Grcmton I found tho regula
tions had been disobeyed and that one
Danforth was not required to wear "stripes”
and was aliowed to sleep beyond thenar-
rack walls. I called the attention of Col.
Lowe, president of company No. 2, to this
matter, and I am glad to say that he had
it corrected at once. At Camp Oglethorpe
there was same discontent among
the men, attributable, I think, to a care
less, and m some instances a non observ
ance of tiie regulations aad orders of this
department. I found that the diet regula
tion as y> fresh meat had not been complied
with during some part of the month. I
have had on several previous occasions to
report non compliance with this regulation
on the part of the management of this
camp. With these two exceptions every
thing was in good condition, there being
□0 cause of complaint at nty of the other
camps.
It will be noticed that as usual the li
sees have not been carrying ont the rules
set down for the government and care of
the convicts. In some instances com
plaints were mado and the irregularities
noted were removed.

Atlanta, July 28.—The report of tho
Western and Atlantic railroad commission
is now in the hands of the Governor. For
the past two days it has been in the execu
tive office under lock and key. Even the
Governor’s secretaries have.not read it for
fear they might lei out something before
the Governor was ready to give the re|iort
to the pnclic. The ^Constitution of this
morning made a publican concerning the

work from beginning to end. No newspa

his hands udoo this imjiortant document,
although they itave n-peateoly requested

.A member of the commission said this

more about the report than it <iid before

The report covers one hundred and ten

Berlin, July 28.—The movements * f Km*
peror William aud his party, after their.visit
to Copenhagen, are timed so they will arrive
at Viel on Monday next. On Tuesday his
majesty holds c naval review, the leading
feature being a test of the powers of torpedo
boatB. The interview between Emperor
William and King Christian, of Denmark,
has special importance, as associated with
the settlement of family questions connected
with the Bulgarian throne. The Czar has
given bis consent to the creation of a Bul
garian monarchy, with either Prince Walde-
mar, youngest son of King Christian, or the
Duke of Cumberland on the throne. The
latter has decisively rejected the oiler, which
was made to him through Bismarck. In his
note refusing to accept the crown, he de
clared that the proposal is an insult to him
as the legitimate King of Hanover, and ex
pressed the hope that he is destined to see
the Kiug of Prussia reduced to his proper
level. King Christian advised Wuldrumr to
accept the thr< lie. King George, of Greece,
brother of Prince Wnldemar, opposes his
candinature. Important events nre certain
to lake place if Greece' and Bulgaria come
into conflict. Emperor William, before re
turning to l’otid mi, will go to Freiderichs-
rhue to confer with Bismarck.
ADVICES FROM STOCKHOLM
say that Emperor William was delighted
with his reception in that place, which was
even more spontaneous than his reception at
St. Petersburg. The Stockholm Journal of
to-day, the Dazeus Niheter, dwells upon the
pleasant impressions which Emperor Will
iam left by his frank and unconstrained
manner. It considers his visit of the great
est importance in assistiug the progress of a
peacelul policy, which must henceforth be
come sure for the miuor European nations.
The KsHnn.l X^imin.. in «. semi official
article, dccl ires that the Imperial visit to
Stockholm and Copenhagen is a pledge for
the re-establishment of fiiendly relations by
Germany with tho Scandauavian races, aud
adds: The Prussian press and people trust
the result will show the French the worth of
the revanche spirit If the Czar will get
Holstein, France ought to learn to
reconcile herself to the loss of
Alsace-Lorraine. With reference to Prince
Ferdinand, it has been decided that be shall

gan of the Sofia government, declares that
the abdication of Prince Ferdiunnct does not
depend on the will of any power whatever;
that he was raised to the throne by the Bul
garian nation, and will remain ns long as he
preserves the affection and confidence of the
people.
Tiie Orleans family has had a council to
consider the situation. Princess Clementine,
mother of Prioce Ferdinand, the Duke of
Montpensier, and others, were present. The
Russian government distrusts more thua
ever Bismarck’s diplomacy with reference
to Bulgaria.
TIIE RU88IAK TREES.
The Moscow Gazette and the Sviet are no
longer contsnt with demanding the depot!,
tion of Prince Ferdinand from the throne of
Bulgaria, as a guarantee of Germany’s good
faith, but demand that Bismarck' he dis
missed. It is notable as illustrating how
Emperor William’s visit to St. Petersburg
modifies anti-German hostilities ns seen in
the Pau-slavin press.
Regarding the church festival at Kief, it
•bourn be laid that U is not the great cels
bration which the star comiqittee expected,
Few German journals responded to the in
vitation to he preaenL Some of the minor
papers sent representatives at the cost of the
Star committee. The contemptuous neglect
with which Germany thus treats the celebra
tion arouses the ire of the Muscovites press.
The Moscow Gazette says: “Oerni'nyisa
permanent menace to the peace of Europe,
and she stauds in the way of Runlt's ulti
mate destint.” The newspaper of Kief, the
Kieskove Slovo, organ of Gen. Ignatiefl, says
Russia will soon absorb all Eastern Eurape,
including Constantinople, despite military
strength. The St. Petersburg press, in a few
days after the departure from that city of
Emperor William, uses the same language.
It is significant that the Emperor's visit ac
complished little toward easing the strained
relations between the two countries.
THE VATICAN WINS.
Rism.ir k will go to Kissengen after his
conference uith Emperor William. It is
doubtful whetlir* or not the interview be
tween Signor Cri-pi, the Italian premier,
aud Count Kaln.iky, imperial iniuister of
foreign affairs of Austria, will he held uut“
October. The protest of the Vatican against
the visit of Emperor William to Rome hss
proved effectual. Cardins! Galimherti, pa
pal nuncio, ii reported to he secretly seeing
Bismarck at Fredericharhue. It la certain
he returned to Vienna last evening, after an
erick III be commemorated as a special cel-
ebration in all the schools and universities
of Germany.
IIOUSE OF COMMONS.
The clerical papers of Vienna announcr
that he will go to berlin on a special mis
sion. The truth is, Uismark has assented to
the proposal to have Galimherti meet Em
peror William in Berlin and ask him per
sonally to forego his visit to rome. tine re
sult of the Vatican’s triumph is that Minis
ter Christi has sent instructions to the em
bassy at Paris to investigate the negotiations
with France. Berlin officials strongly dis
trust the Italian government on account of
ita relations with France. Th* approaching
election to the Izuidtag causes differences
between the Nrtional Liberals, now forming
a majority to become more distinctly in
dicated. The National Liberals, hoping to
obtain pre|K>ntii:rance, sic disposed to cre
ate an alliance with the Conservative lead
ers, who are disinclined to re new the cartel
screed upon early last Tear. The North
German Gazette warns Ultra-Conservatives
that their time has passed and says that
national Liberals will sacrifice their sympa
thies with public progress to the conserva
tive notions, which would retain everything
a< it is in scholastic domains. The lan
guage of the North German Gazette is re-
pented by the Col gne Gazette, as an indica-
cition that the national Liberals are confi
dent tbnt the elections will r- store them to

Tho O'Kclly CnsoStill Under Fire— Replies
to Interrogatories.
London, July 27.—In the Ifonse of Com-
mou* yesterday,Mr. Sexton asked the govern-
msnt whether, seeing that no Irish member
could he summoned in England for offenses
committed in Ireland, but must be urrested
under warrant, it Would legislate to' release
Irish members from this penalty.
Mr. Matthews said any special penalty at
tached to proceedings against Irish mem
bers 011 a warrsnt issued by an Irish magi*,
trate could be executed in England, but
there was great difficulty in issuing summona
In England beyond the jurisdiction, of an
English magistrate.
Mr. Anderson, member from Nalnghire,
then demanded to know whether, before his
arrest, any intimidation was given to O'Kelly
to the efiect that the crown intended to
prosecute him, and if it was uniform practice
in the crown prosecutions of England to
communicate before the issue of the warrant
witli the persous to beYirosecuted.
Mr. Balfour replied that no sunh intima
tion was given to O’Kelly and no such prac
tice exists- [Conservative cheers.]
8ir William Vernon Harcourt asked
whether s summobs is.ued in Ireland, hav
ing legal stringency in Englaud, would not
enable a person summoned to defend him
self without beiud placed under arrest.
Mr. Sexton asked whether, if in future
complsints being made by Parucliltes en
gaged iu England, the government would
proceed by summons instead of smuggling
the men off In the dark. [Parnellite cheers
aud cries of Utter! Hear!]
Mr. Balfonr replied that this matter had
to be decided by the legal advisers of tho
Crown. If Iristi members would hasten to
obey summons there would he no difficulty
in agreeing to Sexton’s suggest on, hut hfs
experience was directly to the contrary.
[Hear! Hear!]

I.IRERAL, Kas., July 28.—The bodies of
four more meu killed by the Hugeton party
were brought to Voorhees night before last,
and with the wounded boy, Hfrhcrt Tony,
afterwards taken to Woodsdale, No further
shooting is reported, but armed squads of
Hugeton and Wood.-dale people, seen by
travelers in different parts of the country,
may provoke another conflict.
Herbert Tony, a nineteen-year old boy,
who is seriously wounded, mude a statement
as follows: On July 24th I went in company
with John Cross, sheriff of Stevens county,
uuiuauiii meu i
the neutral strip. Wo went down to the
neutral strip, and failing to find Robinson,
we proceeded to return on July 25th, and
stopped to remain awhile at Wild Horse
lake. We laid down ourselves at a hay
stack. In about half ' an hour I
heard the sheriff say: “Boys, they
have got ns.” I locked and saw they
were all around us, their number consisting
of about twenty meu. Bum Robinson de
manded of Sheriff Cross that he give up his
arms. Cross replied that he did nut nave
any, whereupon Robinson said, “Shnriff
Cross, you are my prisoner,” raised his Win
chester rifle an I fired, and Cross fell. Rob
inson then killed Herbert in the sumo
manner. J. B. Chamberlain, one of the
county commissioners of Stevens county,
shot me in the shoulder, hut I escaped by
feigning death. 1 heard Robing say nc shot
Eaton, r. fellow who had formerly pulled a
gun on him. They also shot and killed
Wilcox. They fired into the dead bodies of
several men to make sure, but they left me
for dead. The po«e consisted of myself,
Cyrus Eaton, Bob Uabbard, Wilcox and
John Cross, the sheriff. After they had gone
I saddled my pony and made thehest of my
to Voorhees.”

THE NEW LAKD KILL.
The Committee on Agriculture Reports Ite
Nubstltute to tho House.
Washington, July 28.—Representative
Conger, of Iowa, from the committee on ag
riculture, to-day reported to the House a
substitute for the Butterworth bill to regu
late the manufacture of compound lard,
already described in these dispatches.
Iu its report the committee says the object
ot the bill 1* to compel the branding of com
pounds sold as laru so that the purchaser
may be advised of the real nature of the ar
ticle be purchases. The bill is similar in
character to the oleomargarine law, which
has given almost universal satisfaction.
The importance of the measure will be
come apparent when it is stated that the
annual lard product of the United States la
valued at $80,000,000. It is a business of
vast commercial importance and of vital- in
terest to the farmers and hog grower. It is
sn undisputed fact, says the committee, that
parties are now engaged in the manufacture
and oale of a compound sold as lard, and that
ut least one of three compounds contains no
trace of lard whatever. The committee sub
mit* that it is impossible to justify the prac
tice of such deception as this, and it tnere-
fore recommends the passage of the bill.

of dynamite, and when the subject was
properly presented to Mrs, Hroneck
•he led the way to a basement of the build

light of the officers, who alloweoher to do
the searching, returned to the opon air with
a market basketful of half pound iticks of
