A FIENDISH CRIME* IN ROCHESTER!

Young Lady O u t r a g e d , R i b b e d and ' M u r d e r e d ! ^

(From the Rochester Herald, Nov. 22.) The most fiendish crime ever com­

mitted in Rochester was brought to light by the finding. of »the body of Miss Teresa Keating, 26 y^ais of age> of 1-71 University Avenue, in a vacant lotion Davis Street; near the/wrner of Union Street, shortly before noon Wednesday. The cut and bruisedface and torn cloth­ing of the unfortunate young woman told plainly enough the horrible story of robbery, criminal assault" and mur­der—ofthe commission of that foulest of all crimes, for which colored brutes— jnore animal than man—are cut to pieces in Georgia and burned at the stake in Colorado.

Miss Keating bad gone on an errand about 8 o'clock in the evening, had per­formed it, and was on her return home by a short but not, frequented, jou te when suddenly attacked and felled into unconsciousness, then dragged through a fence opening into a vacant lot where the beastly crime was committed and she was choked to death and her body robbed of money and jewelry. Her sisters aud the .police hunted for her nearly all night without, avail. At

How Democrats in Congress feel' to ward the proposition to reduce Southern* representation in Congress and in the. electoral college, which is being urged by quite a number of Republicans, may be judged from these remarks "of Sena­tor Money: "If a.n attempt is made to reduce the Congressional representation from tke South, I for one will be will­ing to talk from the 3rd day of Decem­ber to noon on the 4th day df March. And it 'won't be wind, .either. I t Will be a speech worth- listening to. I have been preparing for this fight for some time. If the Republicans attempt that reduction, they might as well prepare for an extra session of Congress. They will not pass their shippipg bill, nor, in? deed, anything else in the way of legis­lation." Every Democratic Senator and Representative who has been in

The Episcopal Church on Divorce and Remarr iage ot Divorced P e r s o n s .

In connection with the recent dislos-ures regarding the operations of-a so-called divorce mill in New York, the canons adopted by the Episcopal church committee which has been considering the questjtfh of divorce are interesting. The first canon Episcopal clergymen remarrying either party to a divorce, except where there was no marriage in an ecclesiastical sense, the cause for divorce existiug be­fore the marriage. Another canon adopted by the committee guards a-gainst divorced persons wbo have re­married outside the church re-entering its communion. It excludes from all fellowship with the church the offeritP ing party to a divorce suit who shall have remarried, t h e r e is a provision, however, for the readoption into "the" church of. those who manifest true penitence, and agree to a separation, from the party to the second marriage. There is also a provision for those who are dyitig. These canons place the. Episcopal Church on strong grounds, but its members will have no alterna­tive except to withdraw from the Epis­copal communion if the canons are adopted a f t h e next general convention, as they probably will be.

To the average American travel in the United States resolves itself into a question of how to cover the magnifi­cent distances with greatest comfort and speed. T h e "get t h e r e " idea p redomi­

nates in this as in o ther things, and the

possibility of en joyment or ins t ruct ion

en rou te is no t taken into considerat ion.

W h e n an Amer ican wishes to go sight­

seeing, h e p lans a t r ip to E u r o p e , or, a t

t he least, a tour which will give h im

glimpses of the prairies aud the Rock­ies, A n y t h i n g short of tha t iu the way

of t ravel is -classed as a ha rdsh ip inci­den t to the pursu i t of business or the search for p leasure . \

Yet it is possible to obtain from even a short j ou rney limitless en joyment and

satisfaction for eye aud brain, and that without any exert ion except tha t of con­nect ing facts with places and scenery with history. T h a t fact is well develop­ed by Charles Ba rna rd in a recen t ar t i ­cle in Cram's Magazine, on "Seen from the Train , Travel as a F ine Ar t . " T h e rou te chosen by Mr. Barnard as admi­rably i l lustrating the idea he wishes to convey, is tha t of the New York Central Railroad from New York to Buffalo a n d Niagara Falls. Mr. B a r n a r d is a geo­logist as well as a magazine writer and s tudent of history, a n d not the least in­teresting feature of his descriptions a re the notes h e m a k e s of the rocks and hills and moun ta in s on his l ine of t ravel . F r o m point to point he also traces scenes and incidents connected with the early days 'of Amer i can occupat ion of the New York hills and valleys, and gives brief sketches of persons and places brought to mind with the pass­ing of the mile-stones.

The whole story is an interesting picture of travel on the New York Cen­tral, and it is something more than that. It is a brief object lesson in his­tory, geogra'pny>ahd' geology, "and- %eh* illustrates .the fact that travel is a bore or a delight, according to the disposition of the traveler, provided always that the railroad has done its part as thoroughly as does the Central. Yet Mr. Barnard does the historical part of the route scant justice. H e makes allusion to many historical things, but forgets to mention some of~the most interesting points along the journey. No reference is made to the spots made historic by Sir William Johnson. Herkimer is mentioned as recalling the brave figure of General Herkimer, yet nothing is said of the fact that just east from Lit­tle Falls, and in full sight from the train, is the monument which the State has erected to tha t general . Utica and its revolutionary connections receive

In addition to being -j mention, and something is said about the battle o^Oriskany, but the monu­ment on the site of that battle is not touched upon, although it stands almost within a s tone 's throw of the rai l road.

The omissions arefsufneient to. indi­cate that even so well-read a traveler and so close an observer as Mr. Bar­nard has failed to grasp all of the possi­bilities of a trip up the Hudson and

Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by

Kidney Trouble.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis­courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor

and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid­neys are out of order or diseased. '-.

Kidney trouble'has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kioV neys. If the child urin­ates too often, if the

urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when It should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with: jbedWetting, depend upon it. the cause of Hhe difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the-treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition ofthe kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as 'most people suppose.,

A PATRIOTIC SCHEM1

THE TOWN WAS IN FAVOR OF FLYING I THE FLAG PERPETUALLY.

F a p P e r k i n s , P o s t m a s t e r o f J e r i c h o . T e l l s H o w D i s s e n s i o n M a r r e d t h e Discus s ion of t h e P r o p o s i t i o n a n d H o w t h e P r o j e c t E n d e d .

[Copyright, 1900, by O. B. Lewis.] It was Enos -Hopkins who got the

Jdea that Jericho should prove her pa­triotism to the world at large by dis-playin the American flag foj seven days a week.. He got the idea one Sunday morn inas he lay in bed, and he hugged it to his soul and chuckled over it for a week before lie said any­thing to a livin soul. Everybody knew by his actions that somethin was' up, but they couldn't flgger out exactly what it was. At length, when Sat­urday night came, and there was the usual crowd at the postorBce, he shot off his gun. He had his speech all pre: pared. He told how the American flag, was first flung to the breeze^—how men cheered for liberty a " they saw it—how it had given freedom to a con­tinent and brought happiness to mil­lions. Men had- fought eheerin for that flag, and men handled blessln it. He wanted it .hlsted in" Jericho at-suri-

'rise every day -in the year, and he Ranted, children, to cry for it and men and'- women to venerate it. " Monday was wash day in Jericho, .^.nd front yards and- back yards rBkde *a'beauti­ful showiniof sheets and shirts and

over liny grocery 2" aske3 Btffl skinner • s i t e wiped the tears of emotion; from

etlculated to chip to 10 cents and no _ o r e . •• • ; . - ; " ' - , _ ' - „ ; '"„

; -Then 'everybody bobbed ujh and de-, manded to-fte heard. Every maff^rSs-ent -wanted ;ihat flag in iEtont of his house or place of business and no­where else, and purty -soon they/ was shakin thehc.fists.and sayin. t h e ^ d he durned lf,^hey wonldn't have "tfc, there or refuse to contribute a ' r e d - c e M . There wasLa^llveiy row on-te*two Balh-.

, its, y^tbTao. more VfieRte &ver*patrtoi?-^ Ism.' v i s t h e row grew hotter Abljah TDavlson turned to Joel Hardman and % |aid h e V a s giad his dog.had bi t the ear off tha t hog and tha t he'd like to serve Joel 'the same way. Deacon igpooher rattled on the stovepipe with -his cane until he quieted the, racket, and then he said: .

"Feller patriots, but have we no pub­lic speeHt. among tw?"

"We have!" yelled the crowd. " "Then let us exhibit it. Bein my

cooper shop is the highest bujldin in town and bein the American flag has got to flip-flap in the breeze to be seen and venerated, I unselfishly offer to put up a pole and take -charge of the flag."

"So do II" shouts every man in the crowd.

Then Sqhar Joslyn. made a speech. He told how a million men had died for that flag; how i ts ' s tars and bars had made tyrants tremble; how a young nation had worshiped it and made all the world respect it. He wound up after ten minits by offerin to float it from

hoss barn^_but only hisses and groans f-ollered. There was signs tha t three or four patriots would soon be punehin each other's head when Lish Billings strolled in in that careless way of his. Deacon Spooner pounded and rattled till he got order and then said:

"I want to hear from Lish Billings on this matter. Mebbe he can suggest somethin. Lish, what place in Jericho would you say the American flag ought to float from?"

"How many stars are there on the American flag?" calmly asks Lish.

Nobody could tell. "Well, how many stripes?" • Nobody could tell. " 'Pears to me," said Lish as he start­

ed to wander out ag'in—" 'pears to me that as none of you can tell the.differ­ence between the American flag and a tablecloth you'd better hang up an old army blanket most anywhere and let i t go a t t h a t "

And at the end of five minits more there wasn't a patriot left! in the post-office, a n d no'thin more h a s ever been eaid about buyin a public flag.

M. QUAD.

"HAVK WE NO PUBLIC SPEKRIT AMONG US?" towels and tablecloths, but above them all would flap and flop the flag which had covered the heroes' of Bun­ker Hill as they died in the cause of liberty. *"

As soon- as the erowd had"recovered from its surprise and begun to -cheer

"Cpeacon -Sp&oner said, it was a mighty strong p'int and one worthy of a leadin patriot of Jericho. He was heartily in favor of the idea, and he would then and~ there contribute 13 cents toward the purchase of a public flag. He also thought a vote of thanks was due Enos for his- cuteness in thinkin out the idea. A flap'plhT floppin flag h'isted to the balmy- "breezes of Jericho would give the" town worldwide fame and probably result in a boom.-

The deaeon said that was a l so a beautiful speech* with a mighty strong pMhl; to it, and the- feelin's of the crowd ha$ got so worked up over free­domJaiid- liberty tha t tears stood in many eyesw Hosea was foHeredv by Squar Joslyn,: Philetas Williams, Abrar j lwnwwii te and others, and there was 'fr&tuent eheerin and shakin hands. 2LDcfet ten: years ago Abijan Davison's dog tore the ear off a hog owned by Joel Hardman, andfhe-men have beenT 'enemies ever Isince^bnt under the ex­citement and the patriotism engender­ed by them "speeches they fell into each other's arms and became. brothers ag3n. I t was finally settted tiiat a pnb-Bd cdntribntion should be taken up to buy a f 15 flag, and then eame the ques­tion of where i t should be raised. EnoC Hopkins, who bad started i t all, got up in a modest way and said he would go to the expense of f lantin a pole in front of his house. I t was on high ground,' and the flag could be seen from every house In Jericho.

As the porter passed through the car she called him aside. There was a whisper and a gleam of silver. ^ 'Npw, remember they are in the yel­

low satchel." "Cyan't miss dem, ma'am." "You won't-let any one see you?" "No, ma'am." "The major is sitting in that car." "He won't see me, ma'am." "Well, here is the key." The porter took the key and passed

through to the next car. "Guess dis am it," he said, slipping

the thin key in the lock of a yellow satchel. He* put his hand in the satch­el and pulled out a bunch of hair. Then he relocked the satcheL

"Heah's y<S' frizzes, ma'aml" "Don't speak so loud." "Anything else, ma'am?" %,f "That's, all, I believe. I jnst^have a

"Tonr whiskers, sah?" "Yes; my false beard. The passen­

gers say yon opened my satchel with a skeleton key. Where are those whisk­ers?"

"Laws," muttered the porter, "Ah went in de wrong satchel!"

Jus t then a lady passed toward the dining car.

"Dah's yo' whiskers, sah," grinned the porter, " o n t o p o b dat lady's haid!" -^Chicago News.

The Dost of Ocean. A. "dusty" ocean highway sounds al­

most incredible. Yet those who are familiar with s i p i i g ships know tha t no matter how carefully the decks may be washed down in the morning and how little" work of any kind may be done during the day nevertheless if t he decks are not swept at nightfall an enormous quantity of dust will quickly collect.. • Of- course on the modern "liner" th&jburoing of hundreds of tons of coal every 24 hours and the myriads of footfalls daily would accotmt for a considerable accumulation of dust, but on a "wind jammer," manned with a dozen hands or less, no" such dust pro­ducing agencies are a t work. And yet the""records of sailing ships show t h a t they collect more sea dust than does.a steamer, which 1& probably accounted for by the fact that while the dus t laden smoke blows clear of the steamer the large area of canvas spread by the sailer acts as a dust collector.—Mari­ner.

J PRESENTS FOR HIS WIFE.

"Hello, did man! What have you in all those bundles?" asked a gay, airy young bachelor of a careworn, solemn looking young man as they met in a suburban, railway train.

"Presents for my wife," was the sen­tentious reply. "It 's her birthday."

''Well, what are you bringing your wife in that package from your tai­lor's?" gayly pursued the bachelor.

"Trousers," was the answer. "What?" "Xes, I repeat—trousers. Just you

listen. On my birthday my wife got me three or four beautiful lace hand­kerchiefs, such as women carry a t aft­ernoon teas and such places, and a Mack velvet hat with high feathers, one" of the three story kind that ob­struct your view of the stage" in the

^theater. They looked mighty well on feer, and she asked me if I. %asn't hav­ing a nice birthday, >:'

, <rWell, I didn't mind that very much, but-when Christmas came I got anoth­er, deal of the same sort» I gave my wife a pretty gold r ing. ' She gave me a turquoise ring too small to ga over •any of my knuckles, and she wears it now next fo the one I gave her. But that wasn!t the worst of it. "She,got her sister to give me some after dinner coffee cups and my sister to make me a lot o f lace doilies. That was all I got for Christmas.

"Tomorrow is my wife's birthday. In this package I am bringing her a pair of trousers which 1 iiad made to my measure and which I s^aH wear. In this pareeils aj>air of the very best p a t e n t shoes, size S%, a good dea l too big "for my wife ; in t h i s package is a box of cigars, and in my pockets I

"have a n e w meerschaum pipe a m i a. packe t of tobacco. Now, I don ' t see how she can fail to have a happy birth­day. Do you? 1 hope she'll enjoy it, for I want to get even for all the pret­ty things she has given ma"--London Ti t -Bi ts . •*

What the hero of this story kicks about is "the fact tha t bis wife forgot her sacred word never to say anything regarding i t His business keeps him out-late, and h6 frequently carries con­siderable money. When footpads are reported in evidence, he gets a s near home as he can by street .car and then takes the best lighted route to nis house. - ' ' "»-

One night he had reached.the front of his own place and had just drawn a

. long . sigh of relief when the order "Hands up!" startled i i m into compli­ance. One man held a gun fir the inl-mediate neighborhood of Ms ear, ami another systematically.robbed him of everything worth carrying off, Tn6 or-': der then was that he walk around the Mock so as to'defer the use o f his tele­phone, and i t was clearly ^stated t h a t any attempt to tnrn back, p m or. call tor M l p would result & ' M s * being assassinated. ;, "

Before he reached the corner It' struck him that the voice of one. off the men sounded familiar and i h e n that Its owner was a near neighbor greatly given to' practical* joking. Back he went on tiptoes, his revolver, in Ms ' right hand, and surprised the" footpads a s t h e y w:ere dividing the. spoiis>. _He made-them lay 'everytMng,on<Hifir walk* and when they straightened u p await­ing the next order he discovered that both; were total strangers. His hand dropped from sheer terror^ and then the robbers ran one way, while he sprinted the other. Half an hour la te r he, his wifV and a. lantern, a revolver; and the hired girl went out and found his money, watch, papers and diamond pin.^ His wife shnply ruined the Sttory^ by telling it firsts—Detroit S*tee Press.

When public endorsement is made by a representative citizen of Geneva the proof is positive. You must believe i t . Read this testimony. Every backache sufferer, every mau, woman or child, with any kidney trouble will. profit in the reading.

Mr. Henry G. Snelling, of 391 Ex­change street, says:—"It is 20 years since 1 first experienced kidney troubles. I tried various treatments. I doetored and at times I kmnd palliation in medicines, but for the urinary difficulty I never foundanything to surpass Doan's Kidney Pills,- sold at Allen's drug store on Seneca street. For backache I found them most beneficial.
