Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 9. Theresa Bo tak, 2.1 years old, was this evening murdered by her lover Joseph Orosz, upon her refusal to marry him, accord ing to u previous promise. He had saved up his wages and given her $50 for a marriage portion, rfhe returned this today. He afterwards dressed In his best clothes, with a revolver in his pocket, and went to see her. He plead ed wildly for their marriage, but the girl rejected his advances. "Will you marry me tomorrow?" he cried. "I will not." the girl answered. "Then you will die!" shouted Orora, and drawing his revolver, he sent two bullets Into her head, one penetrating her brain. Then he turned the revol ver upon himself, but his aim was less sure, and. after receiving a slight flesh wound he ran into the BtreeL When locked up in the police tatlon ho Im mediately asked for his supper.

By regulating the flow of water the heat may be kept uniform. LI K I NORM OHRBITRATION Sentiments of the London Chronicle's Commissioner. KILL AMEKICA LEAD ENGLAND? Air. Gorman Does Not lielive That British Sctimcnt Will Not Be .Moved to Accord with American Ideas of Settling Notional Disputes. ' Washington, Jan. 9. Henry Norman, the special commissioner of the Lon don Dally Chronicle in Washington, cables his paper today as follows: The sentiment for arbitration is a ball, which once set rolling among a civilized people, cannot be stopped. I take it for granted that in some man ner arbitration in the Venezuelan dis pute is now certain. Therefore my work here is done. But that this tem porary evil may prove the germ of a great good I have desired to add a fresh Impetus to the wider movement. Now President Clevelund and Mr. Olney pre serve absolute silence, deeming their official positions incompatible with un- olllclal speech. Who, after them, rep resent the weightiest Influence on American foreign affairs? Obviously the members of the senate committee on foreign relations and the house com mittee on foreign, affairs. Accordingly.-1 have been at pains today to learn the opinions of these gentlemen, and the results I have obtained, will. I feel assured, be equally gratifying and po tent in Kngland. One member of the senate committee, Roger O. lllla it AllltS, UT Texas, I was unable to find. But with this single exception 1 can present you with the views of the entire commit tee. To each member I put this ques tion: "Would It, in your opinion, he well for the governments of the 1'nlted States and Oreat Britain to endeavor to agree upon the constitution of a perma nent court or tribunal of arbitration to which all questions at Issue between the two governments, not Involving na tional autonomy or honor, should be submitted for decision when diplomatic negotiations fall?" Opinion Innnimous. Every member of the committee seen by Air. Norman expressed himself strongly in favor of settling the dis putes between nations by arbitration. Those members of the house foreign committee who were seen by Mr. Nor man, expressed sentiments similar to those of the senate committee. After quoting all the opinions gathered by him, Mr. Norman continues: The above represents the weightiest and most Important body of opinion that could possibly be secured In the I'nitcd States. In it there is not a single dissenting voice. And these are the men to whose consideration any question between England and America would be first submitted, and by whose decisions the senate and the house would be probably guided. It is Impossible to believe that British senti ment will not be moved to respond to such remarkable unanimity and such enlightened utterances, if not, then the world will see that America Is ahead of England in the most striking characteristic of a civilized people. Moro Troublo in Uulunn. It is cabled today that the British Guiana police have occupied the ex treme limits of the territory claimed by Venezuela. The American government has brought heavy pressure to bear to prevent the Venezuelan government from committing any over act and thus precipitating a hostile situation. There fore it Is Imperatively necessary that the British government instantly deny and repudiate such a monstrous and fatal act as the armed occupation of territory while the question of arbitra tion is pending. Aly work is done. I propose to leave Washington immediately. The Sciiom burgk line is now abandoned. The Eng lish public, understanding the Ameri can attitude, has changed Its own at titude and nothing blocks the way to a prompt settlement not only of the Venezuelan, but of all other matters, and they are numerous, now pending and creating International discord, and thereby placing our relations upon an amicable footing for the future. Aly last words shall be, and they must surely express British no less than American sentiment, that the nation desiring arbitration is In a civilized at titude and that the nation refusing it Is In an uncivilized attitude. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Tribune Bureau. 515 Fourteonlli street, N. V., Washington, Jan. 9. The court of claims has work enough ahead of it to keep it busy for the next llfty years at the rate cases are disposed nt present, to say nothing of the new business that Is dally accumulating. It is said there ure now more than 25,000 canes on the docket, 8.01X1 of which are Indian depredation and from Pennsyl vania known as the Border Raid claims. From the snail-like manner in which busi ness before tho court of claims is con ducted no one knows when this lurge num ber of claims will be adjudicated. I'mler the rules of the court it Is Impossible to hurry cases. All that Is necessary to de lay a case is for the attorney for the gov ernment - to tell the court that he is not ready to proceed. That Is sufficient cause for pigeon-holing the claim whether a Just or unjust one. .Many a person has spent a fortune and the better part of his life trying to have his claim adjusted. There was one cose, of which I have per sonal knowledge, that required nearly thirty years' hard work on the part of the claimant to get It through the court of claims. It was that of Nathaniel C. Mc Kay, whose father furnished vessels to the government during the rebellion. To use Mr. McKay's own language, "I came to Washington thirty years ago a red-headed boy to get my father's claim allowed, and I am now an old gray-haired miri, broken In health and purse." Mr. McKay two years ago succeeded in getting about one-half of his claim allowed, but he spent a fortune and thirty of the best years of his life In doing It. Pncie Sam Is mighty slow In paying his debts when he once gets you into court. , II ft II Secretary Carlisle's popular loan scheme threat ns to be a lizzie. While he is daily receiving plenty of offers he fears that when the lime conies for Issuing the bonds the fellows who hold the gold, when they thoroughly understand the provisions of the plan, will not ante-up. The mnjorlty or the ofTers so far received at the treasury department are from people who are not aware of the fact that thev will have to pay a premium of 12 to 15 uc'r cent., and Instead of getting JlO.OiW worth of bonds on the face for SlU.Ooti In sold, they will in realltv nnK- get about $8,500. Of course they will be worth all they pay for them, but their face value will not show It. For that rea son Secretary Carlisle Is a little dubious about his popular loan being a success. Kentucky Democrats now In Washington are of the opinion that the present legis lature of the Blue Grass slate will be un able to elect a successor to Senator Joe Blackburn, and that Governor Bradley will be allowed to appoint a Republican until the meeting of the next legislature. The wish Is, no doubt, father to the thought. The Democrats, of course, ex pect the next legislature to be Democratic and that the successor to Blackburn will be of that political complexion, II II II Ex-Congressman Bines, of Luzerne, was here yesterday on business before the postofltce department. There are a few Republican postmasters in his district whose terms have either expired or will expire shortly whom he wants succeeded by Democrats. , Congressman iJlsenrlng will shortly !n troduce a bill In the house for a new pub lic building at Wilkes-Barre. He hasn't yet made up his mind as to just how much of an appropriation he will ask for. He thinks $500,000 would put up a building in keeping with the Ideas and tastes of the average Wllkes-Barrean, but he will be mighty lucky if he gets one-tenth of that amount. An Immigration Jill "which will mean something will likely fee passed by the present congress. Senator Chandler says that It is more than llkelv the bill drawn by the Antl-lmmigratlon association of Massachusettes will be passed. It com pels all immlKranta to be able to speak, read and write their own a well as the Knglish language, if such a bill liml been pasKeil years ago It would have been a Kood thing for this country. There are thousands of foreigners who have been in the I'nited States for many years who are till unable to speak the English language, much less write or read it. The colleagues of Congressman Scran ton In the house are criticizing him quite severely for fulling to support nominee of the regular Republican city convention In St-runton. They suy it is Indicative of political weakness. Mr, Scranton will re ceive a warm reception from his fellow members when he returns to Washington. Senator Quay has gone to Florida on a two weeks' fishine- trio. Before be left a conference of prominent politicians was held at his resilience at which the presi dential situatkm was discussed at some length. Among those present were Gen eral Clarkson, Chauncey K Fllley, State Senator Andrews and several other well- known national characters. Before leaving nenator yuay oemeil most emphatically the report that he had made peace with David .Martin and other member of the Philadelphia combine. Quay's frienis claim he will control sixty of the sixty eight delegates to the nutionul convention. W. K. B. OCR NATIONAL HYMN. Soma Novel Facts in Its History t.ntcr tninlngly Told. I have nothing to sny uenlnst either Key's "Star Spangled Bnnner" or Smith's "America, writes Thomus Broxholm to the Rochester Post-Express. I admire them both. But 1 have a few facts to set forth. The men who wrote the words of each song were Americans Francis Scott Key being born In Frederick county. Maryland. I .-. t.M riciiiifl I 111 Ufiaton I to. ! IhlAlt a.4 songs must be American productions, and they both must be "essentially American," but the iiiubIc of each song was written by Europeans. The music of "America" is very likely nut Engllsn at all, but seenu) to have been aaop'.eil uy the Britishers, while it is a glaring fact that the music of the "Star Span gled Banner" was composed by an Eng lishman, but that Is no reason that the music should be any the worse. In revolutionary times there was sung a patriotic song, entitled "Adams and Liberty," which was adapted to an English hunting tune, known as "Ana creon in Heaven." and composed by Samuel Arnold, born in Londoji in 1740. It was this tune that Key fitted to the "Star Spangled Banner." Now with reference to the tune of "God Save the Queen," which is the same tune as our "America," some claim that it Is German in origin, and others that It is French. Dr. S. V. Smith Bays that he discovered It in an old German music book, in 18.12. Duftleld, In his "English Hymns," says that the British national song, "God Save the Klne" the same song as "God Save the Queen" was origin ally published In the "Gentleman's Magazine" in 174r, but that the tune is in much dispute. He adds, however, that It is now usually entered as an amendment by Henry Carey (169G-1743) from Dr. John Bull, who died In HS22. Curey Is said to have composed the words and adapted the music in honor of George II. about 1740. The tune, says Imilleld, was ilrst published about 17ii. The French rlulm that the tune was found at St. Cyr In 1721 by Handel, who was a Prussian by birth. They also as sert that the words, "Grand Dleu, sau vez li Rot," "Great God, Save the King" were cotnoposed by Madame de Btinon. Further it Is said that the tune was composed by Jean Baptlstc Lully, born at Florence, 1633, but who went early to Paris, and who became the friend and musical collaborator of Mollere. Lully obtained a place in the orchestra of Louis XIV, and It is claimed the tune was sung by 300 young ladles before that monarch at St. Cyr. F. 8. Key when he met with the music of the "Star Spangled Banner." knew a good thing, and appropriated it, even If it was the music of an old Eng lish drinking song. So, also it was with Dr. Smith. The appropriations have made no one the poorer, but huve richly helped us to tune our patriotic voices. And now, Incidentally, let me remark that about 1763, there appeared the re ligious hymn, "Come, Uhou Almighty King," supposed to have been written by Charles Wesley. During the revolu tionary war our grandslres sang tnat hymn under peculiar circumstances one Lord's day morning. It was when the British had possession of Long Islund. A body of British troops invaded a place of worship, and insisted that the congregation sing, "God Save the King." In reply the people sang to the same tune as "God Save the Queen" and our "America" the religious hymn above mentioned, the first stanza of which is: "Come, thou almighty King ! Help us Thy name to slug, Help us to praise; Father, nil-glorious. O'er all victorious, Come.and reign over us, Ancient of days!" They sang the tune of the British na tional hymn, but avoided the words. It is amusing to note the ridiculous ness that is often manifested with ref erence to tl.e tune under consideration. In 1891, a correspondent of the City Press, of London, made a "startling" discovery. Writing from Brooklyn, N. Y.. under the date of July 31, tie said: "Our tune of 'God Save the Queen' has been coolly appropriated by our breth ren, who have renamed It America,' and it Is now considered the national anthem of the United States." But the New York Tribune at the time, In com menting on "his virtuous indignation at such an act of larceny," beggeH leave to assure the correspondent that It was "a felony "fully as heinous ns was his own country's 'conveying' ol the same time-honored ,air from Ger many." But enough. "My country, 'tis or tnee , Sweet land of liberty, Of thou I sing; Iand where my fathers died, Laud of the Pilgrims pride, From every mountain side let freedom ring." We have the tune, and I should like to ask, who can hinder us from ping ing It? A CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION. The other week a large and fashion able audience assembled in a Paris lec ture hall to hear one of a series of lec tures delivered by a celebrated profes sor of chemistry. At the conclusion of the lecture a lady and gentleman who were among the first to leave the hnll had reached the open air, when the lady caught her escort staring at he. "Whut is the matter?" asked the madume. In surprise. "Pardon me.but you are quite blue!,, The lady returned to the hall and approached a mirror. She started back In horror. The rouge upon her cheeks had been converted Into a beau tiful blue by the chemical decomposition which had taken place under the Influ ence of the gases which had been gen erated during the lecture. The majority of the women In the audience had suf fered In a similar manner. There were all sorts of colors blue, yellow, violet, and black. Some whose vanity had In duced them to put Ivory on the skin, and black on the eyebrows had under gone a ludrlclous transformation. Pearson's Weekly. THE TIII NPF.RF.ICS MISTAKE. An amusing printer's error occurred in a recent Issue of the London Times. In announcing the marriage of a young city man to the daughter of a naval con structor at Sheerness, a few words of a telegram which apparently belonged to some notes from China or Armenia were printed after the interesting Intelli gence.. They read as follows: "Trou ble Is expected." Buffalo Commercial. Would Prefer Chaoses of the Dark. He "These electric lights are very un reliable."
