THE PTTTSBUE& DISPATCH, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 189a
SHYER STANDS STILL.
Conservatives Say That the Bill Has
Kot Advanced. a Step.
THE BILL IS STILL ON THE TABLE.
Free Coinage Men Confident of a Favorable
Committee Report.
FILIBUSTERING DELAYS TOE ACTION
"Washington, D. G, July 6. The sil
ver bill has not advanced one step to-day.
That -was the judgment of conservative
members after the smoke of battle had
cleared away. The "silver" men who had
yesterday tieclared positively that they
would not permit any business to be done
until the Senate bill "had been referred to
the Coinage Committee decided this morn
ing that they had better not attempt to ob
struct that Legislative favorite, the river
and harbor bill, and the bars being once let
down it was easy for the managers of
the diplomatic appropriation Dill to
creep through with their conference
report. The "silver" men were
the more willing, to permit this, as they
realized that they had no immediate means
to check the progress of the filibustering
motions that followed one another with
steady persistency whenener silver was fore
most and disappeared whenever there was
any attempt to return to the consideration
of "other legislation.
They are getting very impatient at the
failure of a number of absent members to
return to their post of dutv, aud it was
threatened by some of them tbat they wonld
try to secure the passage of an order provid
ing for the punishment of the deserters.
Whips Bringing In the Recalcitrants.
But this is idle talk after the experience
of preceding Houses. Nevertheless the
whips have had some success and to-day
the total of one vote was 224, with the
promise of more to-morrow.
It was said this evening that the "anti
silver" Democrats had concluded to refrain
from further opposition to the reference of
the bill to the Coinage Committee. This
is probablv premature, at least, but thev
will have a conference to-night to endeavor
to arrange a programme.
The Democratic members of the Rules
Committee were in conference for two
hours this afternoon. They proceeded upon
the theory that this statement was correct
and contented themselves with agreeing to
pass in the toll committee to-morrow morn
ing a resolution fixing Friday as suspen
sion day, when the tariff bills, the Utah
local government and some other nieasnres
can be disposed of. It cannot be learned
now whether the rules are to be suspended
by a majority vote, or, as heretofore, by a
a two-thirds vote, and the difference Is very
material to the ' silver" men, for under the
first named order they might see their way
clear to rush the silver bill through.
It Slay K In Committee Two Days.
One of the leading members of the Coin
aee Committee said to-day that he believed
the bill must remain in the committee at
least two days when it is finally reached, as
it was possible for its opponents to consume
that much time in offering amendments and
voting. Meanwhile the bill is still on the
Spejker's table, and the House must decide
where to refer it to-morrow as soon as the
diplomatic conference report is acted upon.
There are 13 members of the Coinage
Committee. Every one ot them is in Wash
ington except Mr. McKeighan, of Nebraska,
who has been attending the People's Party
Convention at Omaha, and he is expected
here within the next 48 hours. The absence
of McKeighan, who is known to be in favor
of free coinage, does not worry the other
members of the committee, who are anxious
to have promnt action on the bilL A mem
ber of the committee said to-day that ot the
12 members of the committee now in Wash
ington 7 are lavorable to the bill and 5 are
opposed to it The "tree silver" members
feel confident that nothing stands in the
way of a lavorable report from the commit
tee, although it may be delayed by amend
ments ofiered with that purpose in view.
SENATE SIDE ISSUES.
Nearly a Million Dollars Added to the Pen
sion Appropriation IE11I.
"Washington, D. C, July 6. A Senate
bill to increase the pensions of those who
have lost limbs in the service of the United
States and w hich will add 5700,000 to the
pension charges was passed in the Senate,
while a House bill to pension survivors of
Indian wars, was, after its provisions being
considerably extended, recommitted to the
Committee on Pensions.
The conference report on the river and
harbor bill was agreed to; and a concurrent
resolution lor final adjournment on the 10th
of July, was offered by 3Ir. Aldrich and
referred to the Committee on Appropria
tions. Mr. Kyle's resolution providing for
an investigation relative to the "slams of
cities" was taken from the calendar and
adopted yeas, 31; navs, 14.
STJNDBY APPBOPaiATIOHS.
A Senate Committee Recommends Five
Millions for the World's Fair.
"Washington, D. C., July 6. The Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations to-day
finished the consideration of the sundry
civil bill, and reported it to the Senate.
The amount of the appropriation made by
the bill is ?30,797,798, being an increase
over the bill as it passed the House of Sll,
574,810. There is an appropriation of 55,
103,000 in aid of the "World's Fair and a
requirement that the Fair shall not be kept
open on Sunday.
SPSINGEE'S VIEWS OK KANSAS.
Ho Advisee Democnua There to Vote for
the People's Tarty Elector.
Chicago, July C If the Kansas Demo
crats follow the advice of Congressman
M.Snringer,the solid Democratic vote ot the
State will be given to the People's party
electors next November. Congressman
Springer gives full expression to his views
in a letter to W. A. Eaton and T. "W.
Hagan, delegates to the Kansas Democratic
Convention and former constituents of his,
who wrote to ask his opinion as to the ad
visability of following such a course. He
outlines "the scheme as follows:
I liave no hesitation in saving that were
I a delegate I would favor the nomination
by the Democratic Stato Convention of
Kansas of the same pet-ons lor electors of
President and Vice President who have
Leen nominated by the State Convention ot
the People's part. The course will involve
no -acnnce ot Democratic principles and no
disloyalty to the Democratic organization.
It might cause the defeat of Harrison by
throwing the election of President into tbe
piesent House or Eepresentatives; and it Is
lurtlier poosible that the electors w ho will
be chosen m Kna (if the votini ot the
l'oonlo's pai tv candidate for Vice President
would re-ult in the choice of Whitelaw Held
bv the Republican Senate) may vote directly
m the electoral college "for Stevenson.
EEGINEEE AND FIREMAN ASLEEP.
Their Kepose Cost Jtoth of Them Their
XJves in a ItnilroadTVreclc.
Loganspokt, Ind.. July 6. Tbe south
bound passenger train, which left Chicago at
8:20 last night and arrived here at 12:40
o'clock this morning over the Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and St Louis Railroad, brought
news of a fatal accident and one of the most
extraordinary that ever occurred on a rail
road. The train also borewith it the vic
tims ot the catastrophe, ooth of whom,
Pierce PJchardson and Otto Fiendling,
lived in this city. Eichardson, who was
the engineer, and Fiendling, the fireman,
had charge oi the first section of westbound
freight train No. 87, that left here last
evening for Chicago. The train sidetracks
south of Chicago to allow the eastbound
freight 82, known as Armour's fast meat
train, to pass.
There was a layover there of about 15
minutei before the arrival of the meat
train. Richardson and Fiendling were
both tired, and they alighted from their
engine, and laid down on the ground be
tween the switch and the main track. They
braced their feet against the switch on
which their engine stood, and rested their
heads on top of the south rail of the main
track. "While lying as described both men
fell asleep. Presently the Armour train
came dashing along at the rate of 40 miles
an hour, striking the men. Fiendling'B
head was crushed in horribly, while Rich
ardson's skull was crushed and his shoulder
blade broken. Both men were killed.
They were married men, and neither was
ever known to take a drink of liquor.
RACE RIOTS IMMINENT.
Negroes In Florida ISonnd That a Murder-r
Shall Ifpt Bs Lynched-State Militia
Called Ont to Frovant Threatened
Bloodshed A Bartons Situation.
Jacksonville, Fla., July 6. $&
The danger of a bloody race riot here is
increasing rather than diminishing. "While
the military ostensibly held command of the
situation last night, the negroes were under
arms in vast numbers in the blocks adjacent
to the iail. and if a shot had been fired on
either side after the gattling gun had been
manned by the State troops it would have
been a signal for the massing of a thousand
armed blacks about the structure.
The only breach of the peace was when
Police Officer Hitchcock about 9 o'clock last
night was confronted with a gleaming Win
chester in the hands of one of the colored
mob which had at that early hour assembled
to the number of several hundred. Deputy
Sheriff "Williams ran into the jail for rein
forcements. He sallied forth with deputy
sheriffs to arrest the offenders. As they
approached the man he was reinforced and
shots were fired into the posse from both
front and rear.
The nose was compelled to return to the
jail. Eleven shots were fired, which In
tensified the excitement and also drew hun
dreds of negroes who had been waiting in
the reserve to the front. In a short time
they had fully GOO men in the neighbor
hood and all were armed. Over half ot them
had "Winchester and other rifles, while the
remainder were equipped with pistols,
knives and razors.
To-night the two home companies of in
fantry and the Wilson battery (in all 120
men) have been reinforced by the arrival
of Adjutant General Lang from Tallahase
and lour other companies two from SL
Augustine, one from Gainesville and one
from Dayton. The State troops now on the
scene number altogether about 300 men. At
sunset to-night the blacks began gathering
again, but they made no demonstrations.
The leaders say that all they ask is that the
murderer (Ben Reed) be protected from
lynchers. A cranky white man from Mis
sissippi who made some loud talk in the
streets Monday night and ofiered to head a
lynching partv is said to be at the bottom
of all the trouble. The blacks quote him
as their authority for the rumor that Reed
is to be taken from the jail by white men.
BRAZIL QUARRELS WITH ITALY.
The Governmsnt at Home Orders Gunboats
to Bio Janeiro.
Rio Janeieo, ' July 6. It is officially
announced that the Government forces have
captured the position of Corumba, which
had hitherto been held by the revolting
troops. Quiet has also been restored in
Sao Panlo; but there is much animosity
shown against Italians, and diplomatic re
lations with that country are slightly
strained. The trouble grew out ot the
attack on Italian sailors at a Brazilian port
A cablegram from Rome says: Orders
have been sent from the home "Government
to the commanders of the Italian gunboats
Provania and Veneiro, now stationedin
South American waters, to place themselves
at the disposal of the Italian Legation at
Rio Janeiro.
AN AGED MENDICANT.
TTHson tfobson, of Yirclnla, Arrested In
Allegheny for Vagrancy.
"Wilson Hobon was arrested in
Manchester, Allegheny, last night for
vagrancy. He claimed to be 80 years old.
He siys he came from California to "Virginia
several years ago, and failing to find
relatives became a mendicant, wandering
from State to State. His case excited con
siderable sympathy, and something will
likely be done for the old man to-day.
It Wng Not at Skelly's.
Coroner McDowell did not go to Mans
field last night to hold an inquest on John
McGuire, who was killed Tuesday night at
"Walker's Mills by being knocked over a
barrel. 'Squire McMillen may have held
the inquest but he made no report of it last
nieht Mr. Skelly, at whose honse the
affair was said to have taken place, denied
yesterday that it was at his honse and said
that at the time of the occurrence he was
away at work.
A Saddler Disappears.
The friends of Theodore Zeude, a saddler
living on Eighteenth street, Southside, are
greatly exercised over his sudden disap
pearance. He has not been seen since
Saturday, and there is no reason to account
lor his sudden departure. Foul plav or
suicide is suspected. He was employed by
H. O. Strahley, and bad always been a
trusted employe.

Mrs. Annie Maria "Wornle, of Rebecca

LIBERALS STILL GAIN,
Bat Not Quite to the Extent They
Have Fondly Anticipated.
BALFOUR'S MAJORITY COT DOWN.
Labor Makes Heavy Inroads in Gladstonian
Hanks in Cities.
CHOLERA IET ON ITS 0WARD MAECH
rmrcAnLs to the dispatch. 1
London, July 6. Copyright. Failure
to win more seats than the Tories yesterday,
coupled with the announcement this morn
ing of a Liberal Unionist victory in Edin
burgh, somewhat disheartened all Liberals
except those exceptionally enthusiastic
The idea that the enemy should score a vic
tory under the very nose of the Grand Old
Man was exceptionally exasperating, and
seemed to warrant the fear that Scotland
would not, had been confidently believed,
reject every Liberal Unionist.
But, after all, yesterday was only the
second day of the fight, and the end of the
week will be time enough for the Liberals
to dream of defeat, if at all. Mr. Gladstone
has again declared to-day that he is satisfied,
and he ought to be fairly happy, considering
that when he spoke six Liberal Unionists,
his pet aversions, had been overthrown and
that he had made a net gain of nine seats,
counting 18 in a division.
How Liberals Hate the Dissidents.
Sir William Harcourt, speaking at Hull
this afternoon, happily indictted the Liberal
feeling when he said that when he went out
shooting his favorite game is woodcock
Liberal Unionists are his political woodcock,
and he would rather bring down one of those
deserters than any two of the common
enemy.
Unfortunately Liberal dissension in the
division of Glasgow has to-day given the
Unionists another seat, and a Tory masque
rading as a Liberal Unionist has ejected
Thomas Sexton from the representation of
West Belfast Sexton will not be without
a seat long, however, as he will be given
the choice of contesting one of several sate
Irish constituencies.
Chamberlain and his friends and relatives
have carried Birmingham by thumping ma
jorities, as was expected, because it false to
Liberalism he has been true to the local in
terests of Birmingham.
Gladstone has made a net gain on to-day's
pollings of 7 seats, making the net total
gain 16, counting 32 on division. This is
not in accordance with expectations, but it
is success of a character which, had it been
theirs, would have driven the Tories wild
with joy.
John Morley's Seat in Danger.
The three Tory London seats won to-day
will probably be duplicated iu the metropo
lis to-morrow. The result of the polling at
Newcastle, where John Morley s seat is
thought to be imperiled by his opposition
to the eight-hour bill, will not be made
known until about noon Thursday. The
counting of votes in Kilkenny and Water
ford has been deferred until to-morrow, also
through fear of rioting. The Cork result is
not yet known, and reports are current here
of serious rioting in that city.
As an instance of the heavy inroads which
the labor 'vote has made in the Liberal
ranks in the metropolis Burns, the work
ingmen's leader, turned a Liberal majority
into a plurality for himself of 4,417. Bal
four was re-elected by 398 at Manchester,
but this is a Tory loss of 246. The 110 ma
jority in the same city, won by the Post
master General Sir James Ferguson, also
represents a Tory loss of 40.
Mr. Gladstone addressed a large and
highly enthusiastic meeting in Corstorshire,
Scotland, to-day. He charged the Govern
ment with strangling Liberal measures.
The Newcastle programme, he declared,
was a Liberal prospectus, and the Liberal
record of the past was a guarantee of its
fulfillment. He is satisfied with tho result
ot the polling in London, but confessed that
the classes were against him. He deploied
the Liberal defeat in Perth, but rejoioed in
having a majority of the Scottish votes. He
is confident tbat Scotland desires justice for
Ireland.
More Klotlmr Over in Ireland.
A dispatch from Dublin, says: A crowd of
anti-Parnellites to-day stormed the plat
form which the Liberal-Unionists were ad
dressing a meeting at Stranother, County
Donegal. Among those on the platform
was Mr. Donaldson, a Justice of the Peace.
He was hit on the head and his skull
fractured. E. T. Herdman, the Conserva
tive candidate for East Donegal, and D. B.
McCorkcll, the Conservative candidate for
North Donegal, were also present. Each
of them was cut about the head and face.
At an anti-Parnellite meeting held at
Ballena, County Mavo, to-day, speeches
were made by John Dillon and Daniel Crelly,
who is the candidate in the North Mao
district. During the meeting Eev. Father
Conway, who was on the platform, bared
his head and showed severe scalp wounds
that had been inflicted by Farnellites.
When his injuries were Been, over 100
Parnellite voters present declared that they
wuuiu uesert me jraruemies aau cast ineir
ballots lor Mr. Crelly.
The total returns received up to midnight
show the election of 123 Conservatives, 93
Liberals, 19 Liberal-Unionists and 4 anti
Parnellites. Up to this time the Govern
meut has still a majority ot 45. The total
Liberal gains are 29, and Conservative 14.
The total number of votes cast by the
Unionists is 644,179; by the opposition,
617,147.
CHOLERA'S ONWARD MARCH.
Russian Newspapers Forbidden to Publish
News Not Fnrnlshrd or Verifl-d by
the Government Measures Taken to
Arrest the Plague 200 Miles From
Moscow. ,
St. Petersbubo, July G. The cholera
has reached Tsaritsin on the Volga. Fifteen
cases of the disease and six death
have been reported. In the SarstoS" 29 cases
and six deaths have been reported. In
SaratoS 29 cases and six deaths have
been reported. In Baku, the Russian port
on the Caspian sea, the deaths number 100
daily. The disease is rapidly increasing in
severity throughout the Caucasus.
The Caspian Steamship Company has been
ordered to suspend its service, because of
the prevalence ot cholera at the ports on the
Caspian sea, and the Government has con
verted the company's vessels into hospitals
for the reception of cholera patients. A
medical stall has been appointed for each
ship. The newspapers ot this city and
Moscow have been forbidden to publish
news concerning the cholera, that
is not obtained from or verified
by the Government officials.
Several sanitary corps have arrived in
the cholera scourged town of Baku, whence
they will proceed to trans-Caspia. Eleven
sanitary corps are employed in Tiflis, where
a temporary hospital tor the treatment at
cholera patients has been opened. It is
reported that the cholera has reached
Kostroma, a city of European Kussia and
capital of the Government of Kostroma,
200 miles northeast of Moscow.
The Assistant Minister of the Interior
has gone to Kostroma. He will personally
investigate the condition ot the city, and if
he finds that the disease has really appeared
then he will take all the measures possible
to prevent it from spreading. If the
cholera epidemic continues it is considered
certain that the renowned fair held an
nually in the town oi Nynii Novgorod will
be prohibited this year, owing to the serious
danger of infection from the massing to
gether ot such a vast body of people as
usually congregate there.
Tht French FIcht Another Asiatic Battle.

says two French gunboats have bombarded
the villages in th.e Dekames district, the
inhabitants of which recently "attacked
tribes that were friendly to the French.
TJMBBELLA AS SHE IS SPOKE.
The Details of a System That Is Now Qnlte
Fashionable.
After a lengthy study of the subject some
clever genius has arranged the following
"language of umbrellas:"
To place an umbrella in a raok at a clnb
or friend's house indicates that it will
shortly change owners.
If a cotton one is substituted for Bilk it
means exchange Is no robbery.
An umbrella held over a lady with the
man getting all the raindrops' from the
points signifies courtship; but when the man
keeps the lion's share ot the article and
gives the lady tbe droppings it indicates
marriage.
To carry the umbrella under arm at an an
gle implies that the Individual following
will lose an eye, while to hold it just high
enough to Injure passers' eyes and men's hats
signifies "lam a woman.
Lastly, the loan of an umbrella is synony
mous with an act of egregious folly.

PACKED PEDAGOGUES
At the State Teachers' .Association
at Beaver Falls.
A NEW SYSTEM OP INSTRUCTION,
is Developed by Miss Elizabeth Fnnden
lerg, of Pittsburg.
TEACHERS' D0IXG3 OP THE SECOND DAT
Beaver Falls awoke yesterday to a heavy
responsibility; for it was knee deep in teach
ers in attendance at the thirty-eighth annual
meeting of the Pennsylvania State Teach
ers' Association, and its hotels are neither
numerous nor large. Pittsburg's quota by
the early trains was the last straw. H,otel
clerks, haughty with knowledge of a house
filled from garret to cellar, turned dollars'
worth of patronage from their doors to the
cold comfort of a possible prospect-of a
chance boarding house.
The teacher was everywhere; the city
representative, in his or her jaunty negli
gee shirt; tbe grave-faced young man from
the country district, in his clerical Prince
Albert and cool straw hat, and his sweet
faced, demure, young, feminine co-laborer,
who is delighted with the crowd, yet a bit
confused by it, and thinks an institute is
quite a wild sort of dissipation. From
the Burgess down to the street-car conduc
tor Beaver Falls came out on the street and
made the visttor welcome within its gates.
The two official headquarters for the asso
ciation are the Sixth Avenue Opera Honse
and the public school building at the corner
of Eleventh street. In the first the associa
tion is holding itshree days' session. The
exhaustive exhibition from "Western Penn
sylvania, and particularly the voluminous
display from Pittsburg and Allegheny, oc
cupies fully the big school building and
attracts the overflow and something more
of the attendance from the convention.
Study In tin Public Schoo's.
Yesterday morning's session opened at
9 o'clock with an address on "Art Study in
Public Schools" by Art Director H. T.
,Bailey, of Massachusetts, who drew the lar
gest gathering of the day, owing to the
present intense belief in artistic influence
on education. Two more papers of
value followed that of "Heading in the
Public Sohools'! by Miss Coffin, of Beaver
Falls, and "Educational Progress" by Mr.
Chapman, of Pittsburg. The remainder of
the morning was consumed by the discus
sion of an amendment to the constitution
cancelling the position of ticket agent, to
cut down an unnecessary expense, and
which was carried by an almost unanimous
vote; and the display of tbe result of a first
year's education in a Pittsburg school
under the direction of Miss Elizabeth H.
Fundenbcrg, of the Osceola School.
This was the drawing card of the day.
Not a teacher was missing when the an
nouncement that the Pittsburg class was
ready for its exhibition. Miss Funden
berg's work had been the talk of the con
vention, and the name of Pittsburg's day
was given to yesterday's session principally
on that acconnt.
A Prlzs Class of Scholars.
In a twinkle the stage of the Opera House
was tranformed into a schoolroom, and a
dozen or so bright-faced, well-bred looking
little boys and girls filed into their seats,
followed by Miss Fundenberg and Superin
tendent Liickey, of Pittsburg, the latter in
troducing the lady to her audience and then
retiring.
Miss Fundenberg's "scheme" of educa
tion represents a phase of what in educa
tional phraseology is known as the natural
method. She fosters the inquisitiveness of
the raw material put in her charge, de
velopes its powers of observation, and by
the phonetic methods teaches the applica
tion in writing.
Miss Fundeuburg illustrated a day in her
schoolroom. At her request 12 "articles
choBen by teachers in the andience were
handed up in a tew minutes. Mr. Luckcy
wa3 loaded down by a miscellaneous collec
tion of hats, umbrellas, bells, knives and
other goods and chattels to be divided
among the children for description.
These small people were all between the
ages of 6 and 8, and had never been in
school longer than the ten months of one
school year.
A busy scene ensued. Tbe children ex
amined" their articles; wrote ot what they
saw and thought concerning them upon their
slates, flying to the board when a new word
proved a stumbling block, and working it
out there with a hint from the teacher.
Miss Fundenberg claims that these little
children can make a probable correct staeger
at almost any of the more ordinary words in
Webster's dictionary by means of her ap
plication of the phonetic "system. In every
description written yesterday new words
were used and spelled and applied properly.
As a further example of their work in the
atternoon, with the addition ot memory cul
tivation, the class was made to write a story
told to them by Dr. Snyder, of Colorado.
A Little Author's Essuy.
The following example illustrates the gen
eral work ot the class, and was produced bv
a little lad, Master Leighton H. Campbell,
only 7 years of age. It is reproduced ex
actly as it was written:
The Trip is the MoraTAis I live in Colo
ratta and I navti a Utile boy and girl. One
tlav my sirl cams in my office and said,
"Papa, let us go up in the mountain." "Oh
yes," said the lfttle boy. Wo got some
bread and butter and some eggs and some
salt and tnon we weut. ' Yo got up and saw
the flowers coming out of tbe snow. Tho
little girl caught a fish in a stream and
the boy caugbtaflsh. The boy's name was'
Tim and the gill's name was" Laura. The
hoy ho saw a bear and he said it was a dos.
Laura said that's a bear. Wo had a very De
lightful time. When wo came home wo
were very tired. I think the bov was afraid.
If 1 had a gun 1 would killed the bear,
wouldn't you Mr. Luckeyt
Superintendent Lackey ffn Prond.
The exhibition was as instructive as it
was entertaining, and Miss Fundenberg
was besieged by inquiries, while Mr.Luckey
moved about like a beneficent spirit, bless
ing and being blessed, so delighted was he
with his Pittsburg school.
The remainder of the afternoon was dis
posed of to a number of speaKera and the
nomination of officers, whose elections will
be held to-day. A paper on "Systematic
Music Instruction," written by Mr. Jones,
of "West Chester, was, on Recount of that
gentleman's illness, read' by Mr. Smith.
Dr. Moflatt, ot Washington and JeiFerson
College, replaced Dr. George Keed, of
Dickinson College and spoke on "The High
School From the College President's Stand
point," making an earnest plea for the in
tellectual benefit reaped by the study of
dead languages, for which he was frequently
applauded. Prof. Shearer, of York, took
the reverse side of the subject, "The Col
lege From the High School Principal's
Standpoint," on which he spoke both
earnestly and intelligently. Miss Myers,
ot Huntingdon, closed the programme lor
the afternoon.
Tlie Governor had been invited to speak in
the evening, but beitig unable W. D.
Moore, ot Pittsburg, was the orator of the
occasion. Interspersed with music, as were
the day sessions aUo, the evening closed
most agreeably. The closing session will be
held to-day.

TWELVE TIMES A WIDOWER
And Then Karrles Bis Thirteenth Bride
This Exceeds by Four Times tho Legal
Mexican Limit, ned."the" BnterprlslnK
Yankee Bridegroom Is In "J nil. I
Zacatecas, Mex, July 6. Frank -C
Lawton, an American mechanic of this city,
has been arrested and placed in jail on the
charge of exceeding the limits prescribed
by an old Mexican law still in force regulat
ing matrimony.
Lawson came here about four years ago
from the City of Mexico, bringing with him
a pretty Spanish woman as his wife. She
died two months after their arrival, and
Lawson soon took another young wife. She
died, also, and the American continued to
exercise his matrimonial propensities at a
rate that astonished the natives, particularly
as none ot the wives lhed longer than two
or three months after becoming a bride.
Lawson never jvore weeds longer than three
months after the deaths of his wives, whep
he would repeat the matrimonial experi
ment. The people of the city are very conserva
tive in such matters, and they let Lawson
alone with his remarkable and unfortunate
domestic oiTain until three days ago, when
it was learned he had married his 13th wife
since his arrival in Zacatecas. The author
ities began working on the case, and, as
there was no evidence at hand to show that
his 12 previous wives died from other than
natural causes, he was arrested under the
law enacted many years ago. which pro
hibits a man entering into the matrimonial
state more than nine times.
Lawson, therefore, has four offenses to
answer forj and will probably receive a long
term in prison. He is about 40 years old
and well educated. He has resided in Mex
ico 15 years.
POSTPONED ACTION.
Allegheny Survey Committee Opposed to
Wldenlcs Ucrth A vnae.
The Allegheny Survey Committee met
last night and approved the work of the
sub-commitfee and the pay rolls and bills.
There was little new business. A feature
that proved of some interest was the reso
lution of Mr. "Wertheimer, vacating the
pavement of North avenue for the purpose
of widening the street. Mr. Nesbit thought
the resolution too indefinite, as it did not
specify how much of the avenue should be
widened or what benefit it would be.
He argued that it would be necessary to
encroach on the parks to have the work
done. This, he ?aid, would be outrageous,
as the park property had been sufficiently
infringed upon. The committee decided to
indefinitely postpone action.

COMFORT FOR THE AGED.
Food Better Than Medicine Dosing What
Physicians Say About Lariated Food.
"The old folks do not need medicine so much as
they do pure and nourishing food." said a physi
cian yesterday.
"In three or four score years of life, a great
many tons of food have been digested and this
wear and tear results in weakness of the digestive
organs. Stimulate them with medicine.14 he con
tinued, "and the effect Is speedy destruction.
Nourish them with an easily digested and strength
ening food, and strength will return."
The best physicians in the world endorse this
theory. And they have found that lactated food,
the perfect food for Infants, whose digestive
organs are of the weakest, gives the same happy
sncces3 when used for the aged.
Albert A. JIcDonald, M. D , consulting physi
cian of the Infants' Home and physician in the
General nospltal, Toronto. Ont.. says: "I havo
used lactated food for some time and have found It
especially useful In cases of impaired digestion In
Infants and old people."
Dr. Thomas G. Herron of Cincinnati, sayst "It
is with honest satisfaction that I recommend lac
tated food. I have used It with perfect success In a
large number of cases both of tbe infant and the
aged."
In many families lactated food Is used by nearly
every one In the family. It gtves the baby firm
flesh, strong bones, and rosy cheeks; It forms a
pleasant and strength-giving variation of the
mother's diet, while It la the only food that will
easily digest and satisfy tne hunger of the aged
grandparents.
