KILLED HIS SWEETHEART.
She licjectedllim on tlio Day Set for the
Wedding.
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.
V. G. ROBINSON ILL.
ih Originator of the Baby Incubator
Keeks Health In the Sooth.
New Tork, Jan. 9. William O. Robin
son, the originator of the baby incuba
tor. Is ill with consumption, and is at
present at Asheville, N. C, where he
has gone In hope of regaining his health.
The incubator Is simply a brass box
about two feet long and having an
inner and outer body. '
Between the two bodies, in the space
of an inch or two, hot water Is circu
lated. 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.

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.

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.
