I Extract from a Remarkable Document
Proving That the Disease
is Curable.
It is stated that the struggle in
Central America will soon be over.
People are getting tired of it. They
want decks cleared for a nice, fresh
struggle.
The sun is again freckled with
spots. The prophets will immedi-
ately begin to predict as much
trouble as will be consistent with
the general upward tendency of
things.
The chameleon has been unchained.
The courts could not bear the idea of
the little creature being deprived of
liberty. There are a number of in-
aocent sailors on Alcatraz island who
iiave been prisoners for more than a
fear. The courts seem to bear with
jquanimity the spectacle of their
being deprived of liberty.
There is trouble among the Chi-
nese Sunday schools of Chicago, such
is has already caused them to be
jlosed in Denver. The tendency of
ihe Oriental to make love to his
ieacher is a matter so serious*as to
jxcite apprehension. The tendency
>f his teacher to be made love to is
ilso viewed with disfavor.
It is evident that there is a gen-
sral movement in the greater cities
ind their suburbs, as well as in the
arge manufacturing centers, toward
i revival of building:. The motive
ior this is in the cheapness of ma-
terial, the abundance of labor, the
lowered rate of wages, and the plen-
iifulness of loanable funds.
There is not a man, woman or
jhild in this country who is not di-
rectly interested in the question of
wages ana immigration and who, if
i moment's thought is given to the
subject, cannot realize that without
my restriction ten starving men are
low coming to America to scramble
!or the one situation to be filled.
L'be government seems dead to the
situation.
A wealthy Englishman offers to
juild a $190,000 extension to the
Poets' corner in Westminster Abbey
'or the interment of future great
poets. This would seem to necessi-
iate measures of some sort for the
production of great poets to inter in
it. England's present supply is too
meagre to supply a worthy laureate.
\t least that appears to be Mr.
jladstone's juijfi.gt'-ent.
The prine

shores. Albert Edward is the TUTrd
McAllister of England, and if he is
joing to wear pink, yellow or mul-
Derry swallow tails the fact cannot
se known too soon to Americans, who
ispire to be, as Ward says, "in de
sush."
The proposition for a "greater
New York" is assuming practical
shape. That is to say, it is reaching
;he stage where the quarrel over a
lame will be in order. It would be
impossible to imagine anything more
likely to arouse the ire of a Gotham-
.te than the suggestions of people
icross the big bridge who will prob-
ibly insist that the conglomorate
>f towns be called "Yorkbrook," or,
it least "New' Brooklyn."
The plea of insanity or transitory
irenzy cannot in any way be properly 1
ipplied to the assassin of Prender-
fast. He is a mental imbecile !
Belonging to a class that can- |
aot be legally shut up in an :
msane asylum. Clothed in their
right minds, they are a con-
stant menace to the safety of the !
general public and it is only by pun- |
•shing them to the fuil extent of the j
law that others will be deterred from 1
similar crimes.
Lord Dunraven has not relin-
quished the hope that a British de-
signer may be able to turn out a .
[racht that will win the American !
sup. To this end he and Lord Wol- |
rerton will build a new craft during
the year and through the royal j
pacht squadron challenge for the !
trophy, so that the races will be j
failed in 1895. The new yacht, Lord !
Dunraven says, will be seventy feet !
Dn the water line, a matter of fifteen !
feet less than the Valkyrie and last |
season's cup defender.

A Child Murderer.
Abbeville, Ala., March 20.—Little
Dick Vant, the 10-year-old son of
James Vant, colored, asked a 12-
year-old brother for a piece of biscuit
which he was eating, and, being re-
fused, drew a pistol and shot him in
the head, inflicting wounds from
which he died yesterday. Two
months ago Dick killed a 6-year-old
brother with a club because he would
not give him some marbles, - and one
month ago he cut three fingers off
the hand of his little sister with an
ax. The murderous youngster is
now in jail.
Driven Off by Rioters.
Cripple Creek, Col., March 17.—
Superintendent Treverro of the Victor
mine at Altman has just arrived here
With the news that the Victor miners
have been driven off by a large force
of armed men. The four deputy sher-
iffs at that place were taken in charge
by the rioters. One man was shot.
It is not known how serious his in.
juries are.
It is an interesting fact that the
first educational institution to draw
>he line at football is the military
academy at West Point. The war
department maintains that its pur-
pose is to make soldiers, not ruffians;
to fit men for war and the stern
iuties of life, not to cripple and in-
capacitate them. President Eliot
has, relatively, the same idea, but is
handicapped by a lack of authority
and by the indisputable fact that
fractured legs and weakened bodies !
are more serious impediments in the
army than in the pulpit, the count- '
tng house or at the bar.
Not Guilty.
Jackson, Miss., March 20.—The
jury in the case of Ratcliffe, Populist
state representative, on trial at Kos-
ciusko for killing Jackson, Democratic
state representative, returned a ver-
dict yesterday of not guilty. In the
fight a bystander was killed and an-
other wounded.

exander J. McDonald, of 194 "County
street, died suddenly last Wednesday
of heart disease. Saturday'Daniel J.

TARIFF PROGRESSING
IT IS SUBMITTED TO THE FULL
COMMITTEE.
The B ill Repeals the Reciprocity Clause
of the McKinley Daw, Raises the Duty
on Sugar, but Continues in Full Force
the Hawaiian Treaty.
Washington, March 21.—The Dem-
ocratic members of the finance com-
mittee have completed consideration
of the tariff bill and in its revised and
completed form it was submitted to
the full committee yesterday. The
most important change made by the
bill is in the sugar schedule. An ad-
ditional duty of £ of 1 cent per pound
is given on all sugars testing above
87 degrees by the polarlscope test or
which are abve 16 Dutch standard in
color. The provisions abrogating the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty are
stricken from the revised bill and
specific delaration is inserted repeal-
ing the reciprocity treaties negotiated
under the McKinley act. A few other
changes were made in the
revised bill from the bill as agreed
upon by the sub-committee. On tin
plate, terne plate and taggers' tin the
duty is fixed at 1 cent per pound in-
stead of 1 1-15 cents, as in the Wilson
bill, the senate sub-committee not
having before changed tin from the
Wilson rate. In this paragraph the
Wilson bill provision that the rate
shall take effect Oct. 1. 1894, is re-
stored. Other changes are cast iron
pipe of every description, 221 per
cent ad valorem, instead of 25 per
cent in the Wilson bill, and 20 per
cent in the senate sub-committee bill;
cross cut saws, mill, pit and drag
saws, 15 per cent ad valorem, instaad
of 25 per cent, the Wilson bill rate;
aluminum in crude form, 15 per cent
ad valorem, instead of 25 per
cent, the Wilson bill rate. The
lead and lead ore duties are
left unchanged in the senate
subcommittee rates, as are the iron
ore and coal duties. In the internal
revenue the committee strikes out the
provision which the senate subcom-
mittee inserted first, taxing cigars and
cigarettes weighing more than three
pounds $5 per 1000, and cigarettes, in
paper weighing not more than three
pounds, $1 per 1000; wrapped in to-
bacco, 50 cents per 1000, thus leaving
the taxes on these articles unchanged
from the present law. The provision
in the income tax amendment relat-
ing to a tax on building and loan asso-
ciations, which was exempted by the
house and stricken out when the
senate subcommittee reported the bill,
has been restored, with the proviso
that a tax shall, not be levied upon
^has^^institutions who jnake no
the pi^tjpose of enabling; them to build
homes.' The bill provides for the re-
peal of section 3 of the McKinley act
pertaining to reciprocity: "All
agreements or arrangements made or
proclaimed between the United States
and foreign governments under the
provision of said section are hereby
abrogated, of which the president
shall give such notice to the authori-
ties of said foreign governments as
may b^ required by the terms of such
agreements or arrangements." The
Hawaiian treaty is left in full force
and effect.
Wase
Seigniorage Coinage,
ington, March 19.-
Should
the Blahd seigniorage bill, which has
now parsed both the house and sen-
ate, become a law, the coinage of the
£55,0001,000 worth of silver bullion
would lijave to be done at the mints
of Philadelphia, San Francisco and
New Orleans, which are in fact the
only mints of the government now in
operation, exclusive of other neces-
sary coinage. The Philadelphia mint,
it is thought, could turn out $1,000,000
a month, the San Francisco mint about
the saiie, and the New Orleans
mint abjut $800,000 per month. The
San Irincisco mint, however, has
Dnly ab<|ut $16,000,000 in silver bul-
lion on hand and the New Orleans
mint on. y about $9,500,000. So after
the supily now on hand at these mints
had bcpn exhausted the remaining
$30,000] 000 would have to be coined
at the Philadelphia mint alone. The
whole time, therefore, which would
be necejssary to coin the seigniorage
would (be approximately about two
years aisd two months,
"Sooneristn."

Still on the Tariff.
Washington, March 17—Senators,
representing both the Democratic and
Republican sides of the senate com-
mittee on finance, expressed the opin-
ion at the close of the committee
meeting yesterday that the bill would
be reported to the senate on Tuesday
next. They stated, however, that no
agreement to this effect had been en-
tered into, but that the opinion was
the result of a knowledge of the prog-
ress that had been made upon the bill
since the full committee has been in
possession of it. The entire time oi
the meeting, which continued from 10
a. m. till 3 p. m., was devoted to that
portion relating to methods of collect-
ing the revenues in both the tariff
and revenue parts of the bill, and it
was announced at the close that this
part of the work had been practically
completed. The appearances now
are that the Democrats will have
quite a large number of changes
which they will agree upon, and these
changes will include the transfer of a
number of articles to the free list which
are now made dutiable in the senate
bill before the sugar duty had been
agreed upon. The treasury depart-
ment estimates make it appear that
the bill will give a larger revenue
than will be needed by the govern-
ment, which will afford the committee
an opportunity to make a'greater
number of articles free than would
have been possible if the sugar duty
had not been imposed.
So re About Tariff.
Washington, March 19.—If the
present programme remains un-
changed the tariff bill will be reported
to the senate on to-morrow and de-
bate will begin on the bill on Mon-
day, April 2. After the full com-
mittee adjourned Friday at 4 p. m. the
Democratic members held a consulta-
tion among themselves, Secretary
Carlisle also being present for the
purpose of deciding what changes
they would recommend. They de-
voted the greater part of the time to
the sugar schedule, but did not
reach a conclusion as to whether
any change should be made.
The question, however, has been
reopened and further change is not
unlikely. The determination of this
matter was postponed until this
morning, when the Democratic mem-
bers will decide definitely before re-
porting to the full committee. The
whisky tax has not been changed, nor
has the income tax or the coal or
iron ore duty, but there have been
several small changes in other sched-
ules. The Republican members ol
the committee have had their way in
many cases with the administrative
features of the bill and one of them
expressed himself to-night as very
well satisfied with this part of it.
Bill .. »
Washington, March 16 The de-
bate on the Bland seigniorage bill
attracted a large crowd to the senate
yesterday and the galleries were well
filled. The first part of thp day was
taken up by the transaction of some
routine business and by the speeches
of Senators Carey, Palmer, Dubois,
Mitchell, of Oregon, and Pettigrew on
the seigniorage bill. Mr. Dubois said
he had hoped that when the Sherman
law was repealed congress would
stop all piecemeal legislation. Pie
declared that he took little stock in
all suggestions that the position oi
silver should be determined by inter-
national monetary conferences, be-
cause all such agreements would be
in the interest of foreign nations and
not in our interest. He believed that
a sentiment favorable to silver was
growing rapidly in this country, and
he feared that this legislation might
have a tendency to check that senti-
ment. A vote was taken, and the bill
passed by a vote of 44 yeas to 31 nays.
About Anti-Option.
Washington, March 20.—The pro-
posed anti-option legislation again oc-
cupied the attention of the house
committee on agriculture yesterday
aud some progress was made. Chair-
man Hatch laid before the committee
the draft of a new bill on the subject
and this formed the basis of consid-
eration. The new bill contains a num-
ber of amendments that were sug-
gested to the chairman by the boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
throughout the country. The new
draft will be printed and laid before
the committee as soon as possible.
Yesterday Commissioner Miller of the
internal revenue bureau and Mr. Bate,
chief of division in his office, were
before the committee by invitation.
The tax on dealers in options aud fu-
tures and the stamps to be affixed on
contracts, etc., proposed by the bill
as originally introduced being merely
suggestive, will be materially reduced
by the committee when that portion
of the bill is considered.
HELL'S OWN KITCHEN.
A GIRL CHILD IS CUT UP AN
BOILED.
V
Little 11-Year-Old Susan Martin is Found;
Cut to Pieces and Cooked iu a Kitchen
in New York City, but There is no CleT^
to the Guiltv Parties.
New York, March 21-—The latest
mystery in hell's kitchen is partially
solved. The half-boiled and shock- ,
ingly mutilated trunk found in a coal
bin Sunday night is probably that of
Susan Martin, aged 11, who has been
missing from home since the after-
noon of November 8. Yesterday the
clothing wrapped around the body
was positively identified by Mrs. Mar-
tin as that of her daughter Susan.
Further than this the awful mystery
has not yet been unraveled. Dr. Cyrus
Edson, after an examination of the
body, is positive it was boiled not
more than fifteen minutes. He says
the crime was that of a maniac. The
next thing is to find the couldon into
which the murderer plunged the body-
after clumsily cutting off the head,,
arms, legs and all that portion of the
trunk below the kidneys. This was •
not the work of an expert, but some
one who, for some reason, wanted to
reduce the size of the corpse to be.
concealed.
THE TRUST AFTER NOTOBAC.
|Su?ar Bounty Claims.
\\ asiiIngton, March 17.—A treas-
ury statement shows that since July
I, 1893. jtho amount involved in sugar
bounty ^claims was $12,010,355, of
tfhich 5 5,512,001 has already bsen
said.
Before the President.
Washington, March 20.—Chairman
Pearson of the house committee 011
enrolled bills, presented the Bland
silver seigniorage bill to Private Sec-
retary I hurber, who receipted for it
in the president's name, at 2:80
o'clock yesterday afternoou. The con-
stitutional ten days' limitation within
which it may be signed or vetoed, if
at all, will not begin to run until to-
day, however, as fractions of days ars
not counted.
Estimated That a Half Million Tobacco
Users Will Be Cnred in '94 by the Usj
of INo-to-bac, Causing a Loss of
Many Millions of Dollars to Tobacco
Manufacturers. \
Chicago, March 19.—-{Special.]—It
Was reported to-day that a-- iarge sum
ofm oney had been offered tl\e proprie-
tors of the cure for the tobacao habit
called "no-to-bac," which is famous all
over the country for its wonderful
■effect. This offer, it is said was mauef
by parties who desire to take it off the
market and stop its sale, because of its
injury to the tobacco business. Mr. H
L. Kramer, general manager of the no
tobac business, was interviewed at hisv
office, 45 Randolph street, and when
questioned, promptly said:
"No, sir. No-to-bac is not foi sale
to the tobacco trust. We just re-
fused a half million from other parties.
for our business. Certainly notobac-
affects the tobocco business. It will
cure over a half million people in 1894,
at an average saving of $50, which
each would otherwise expended
for tobac'co, amounts in round
figures to twenty-five millions of
money. Of course tobacco manufac-
turers and tobacco dealers' loss is the
gain of the party taking notoba^
"^•'Does" no-td-bac_*^^e£?r^nysic'afiy?
Yes, sir. The majority of our patients
report an immediate gain in flesh, and
their nicotine saturated systems,,
are cleansed and made vigorous.
How is no-to-bac sold? Principally
through our traveling agents, we
employ over a thousand. It is
also sold by druggists wh^
sale and retail, throtighout the Unira^
States and Canada. How are pati-
ents assured that no-to-bac will affect
a cure in their case. We absolutely
guarantee three boxes costing $2.50 to
cure any case. Failure to cure means
the money back. Of course there are
failures but they are few, and we can
better afford to have the good will
of an occasional failure than his
money. We publish a little book called
'Don't Tobacco Spit or Smoke Your
Life Away,'that tells all about no-to-
bac, which will be mailed free to anyone
desiring it by addressing the Sterling1

Chicago.
Michael Keegan Dying.
Louisville, Ky., March 21.—Mi-
chael Keegan, the well known rail-
road contractor and turfman, is dying
of cancer of the stomach at St. " Jo-
seph's infirmary. Monday a surgical
operation was performed which may
delay the end for a while. Mike
Iveegan's name is known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and his rail-
road contracts brought him an ex-
tensive business acquaintance. On
the turf he was known as "the plung-
er of the south." He will leave a
large fortune, including a fine stock
farm in Missouri.
Tramps on the March.
Massillon, O., March 21.—The

Louisville, Columbia and other sta-
tions along the Pennsylvania and Yal-
ley railroad are to the effect that the
tramps are at last on the march,
