Re Mato limn. By ROBERT O. BAILEY. WICKER, : 110)TTANA. The widaiv glass trust formed in In. thane last week is not a thing to be made light of. The neighborhood gossips and the bi- cycle are itch alike. They're always running somebody down. Chicago's postmaster gave a party Oh the troHey ears. The songs they sang were of the trolley -la-la variety. What is called the. -\bicycle face\ is really the result of a gradual approxi- mation of the human countenance tc the long, solemn horse -visage. Woman's temper has always been spectacular, but there are possibilities never dreamed of when the new woman discovers that the hired girl has worn her bloomers out. Miss Stella Dunlap, member of a wealthy Peoria family, and Prof. Henry Albion Molohon, of the deaf and clumb Institute at Jacksonville, both deaf mutes, were married the other day. It was a case of mutual affection. • Already the women's board of the Atlanta Exposition has got a row • start . This shows that the Atlanta E sition is a real exposition, and no ake believe. The row on the woman's board is a good test of genuineness. People who drive horses should be • taught by law, if in no other way, that bicycle riders Italie rights even if the drivers - nf horses do not like thewheel. The Brooklyn papers tell of a case of two men who deliberately turned out or their course. whipped up their horse, • and ran s down a woman on her bicycle. Sach things are perhaps not common, but when found should be punished. Wyoming is in tne front as the para- dise of the fin de siecle girl. l'he daughter of the governor of the state Is his private secretary, and when he is away she is to all practical purposes his representative and fulfills the du- • ties of his office. And she is only 19 years old. It takes a rather bright girl to run a state, even one where woman suffrage has been in force for twenty- five years: Now, when she marries -- • but that opens up too wide a field for spe . 1.1 , tiOn, and, besides, it is his look- out - When the papas and mammas get back home from spending their gold herd enjoying.') the discomforts of Earepean :: - ave! some of their boys and gills who have been studying geogra- pit: , should open quiz classes and see whether papa and mamma know half • m - u.

Is a bear market. At the very most the tight little island raises only a small part of the bread/fluffs required to feed the people who swarm about its hives of industry. A few days ago a Londen dispatch set forth that there was a glut of grain'coming from dif- ferent parts at the world'. One would suppose from the representation made that our farmers ought to be thankful if they got half price for their wheat. Since then there has fallen under ob- servation the estimate made by the Russinn minister of finance of this year's wheat crop His figures are these. Est. 1895. Final Mt Quarters. Quarters.

HORRIBLE DOUBLE MURDER BY AN ITALIAN. With • Stiletto Ile Stabled the Girl Ile Loy ed :sod Then Murdered Ily r Sister Y ---Shouted ”liefitlet DI\ Iliad Then Put the Weapon to Ills NE OF THE MOST heartless, fiendish and ghastly double tragedies which New York city has witnessed in years, was perpetrated last week. Its prin- cipal not only slashed two young women with a stil- etto so that both will die, but actually placed the warm, red weapon to his lips after finishing his deadly work, and exclaimea: \I have drank her heart's blood!\ The double tragedy was enacted,. on the sidewalk. The cowardly assassin, Giampata. Is a cobbler and a native of Italy. 47 years old. His vic- tims are Kate' \Veils, 18 years old, and her sister Rosa. 27 years old. The sisters were walking down East Eigh- ty-eight street on their way home, when, all - unknown to them, Giampata, who stood in hiding in a vestibule, \ KATE WELLS. awaited them with murder in his heart. In his hand he held a stiletto, eight inches in length, made from a piece of quarter -inch steel, sharpened to a needle point and placed in an awl handle. As the two women reached the steps of the house Giampata sprang from his hiding place. Without saying a word the Italian seized Kate by the throat and plunged the stiletto into her left breast near the heart. The wounded wbmanstcreamed in agony and her sis- ter shrieked for help. Withdrawing the istletto, which had sunk to the hilt in the woman's breast, the assassin plunged it again and again into his helpless victim, accompanying each deadly stroke with a curse. Finally he sank the weapon deep ip . the helpless girl's back. She screamed again, threw up her hands and ran, he following her and stabbing until she fell. Rosa had thrown herself upon him, and, now he turned on her. The first stroke of the blade she caught on her arm, and then she fled, shrieking for mercy and for help. Giampata struck again and again, until Rosa, like her sister, plunged forward on her face. Two men had seen the ferocious crime, William r . H. Washington, a eolored.carpet beater, and George Hohenstein, an ice man. They were almost paralyzed with hor- ror at the stabbing: but what followed turned them sick and faint, for the Italian, with a shout of - triumph, brand- ished his bloody weapon and then drew it across his lips. \Vendetta he cried. \I have drank her heart's blood!\ Ciampata was plying the weapon on the woman when George Hohenstein seized his arm. Then he turned upon Hohenstein and struck him with his knife, but fortunately without wound- ing him. Hohenstein then loosened his hold and Giampata started away on a run. Before he reached the corner, however. he was taken into custody by Policeman 'Ude'. IsIdel called tivV• other policemen and sent them back tO look for the girls. They found them st - •••-re the stabbing had been done. F e was still lying on the sidewalk a Rosa bending over her. An AM - Tot ale ... .231.100,000 259.200.0et.

There was nothing in Giam- pata's manner to show that he medi- tated revenge, and he said no word that would lead to the belief that he Medi- tated the fearful deed which he com- mitted less than an hour later. WOMAN IN TROUBLE. • Charged With Cremating tier Sister for insurance Money. Mrs. Nora Perkins was arrested at 'Minneapolis the other night, charged with the murder of her sister, Mrs. Louise Hawkins, the supposed motive for the alleged crime being the fact that Mrs. Hawkins had $7,000 insurance on her life. Mrs. Hawkins died Aug. 9, four hours after the overturning of a lamp near a bed where she lay ill. The fire was supposed to be accidental, but a similar aecident had occurred several weeks before and this aroused the sus- picions of the police. In company with the i i nsnrance officials they have been making a quiet investigation, which re- sulted in the arrest. There are two poli- cies on Mrs. Hawkins' life—one for $5,000 in the Fidelity and Casualty and one for $2,000 in the Security Mutual Life. The sisters were widows and Mrs. Perkins has one child. Mrs. Hawkins' burns were so serious that she died in great agony without being able to tell what had happened. The police' abso- lutely refuse to disclose the nature of the evidence. The two policies were taken out April 9 in Mrs. Perkins' favor.. It is understood the state expects to prove that the bed clothing was satur- ated with oil and ignited and the lamp overturned to conceal the crime, as charged in the warrant. On the other hand, the defense claims to have an ante-mortem statement of Mrs. Haw- ROSA WEILS. Alliance was calred and both girls were taken to the Presbyterian hospital.

The shock A man who has frequently witnessed games in Pittsburg this season told the Record reporter recently that he saw 810,000 wagered against $8,000 that the Pittaburga would win it certain game from the Baltimores, and that at the conclusion of the last inning ths money was paid over on the grounds. He said that the Pittsburg officials nev- er interfered with the betting. although they must have known of its existence. It is also said that the rule is violatei in Bain/tore, St. Louis.

Defiler, of Legit finale Sports.' HE following from t h e Philadelphia Record as to the dangerous incre5se of gambling on base - ball results is most timely: \When the Na- tional league base- ball moguls meet at the Fifth Avenue hotel in November there will probably be a serious discus- sion over an evil that is increasing daily, add in time may threaten the welfare of the game. Although the va- rious clubs in the league formed a rule long ago strictly prohibiting betting on the grounds, it is an undeniable fact that open speculation on ball games prevaila in several of the big towns, and the club officials, so far, have neglected to en- force the rules. At the Polo grounds last Monday a man walked up and down the aisles of the grand stand, waving a. roll of bills and offering to bet on the Brooklyns. In a few min- utes $25 .of his money was covered in blocks of fives by New York followers. The officials in the New York club did not see the man, but when President Freedman was informed of the fact lat- er, he issued orders to stop all such pro- ceedings in the future. \Information comes from Pittsburg that there is more and heavier betting among the grand stand patrons there _ •:;•= was It great one to the girl and her father was taking her to Camden. Ohio, to visit and rest until she recovered. They were to rewaln at Richmond over night and took rooms at one of the leading hotels. Early this morning Mite; Dora left the hotel and boarded the train for Caldwell,' Ohio. She left a note for her father RS follows: \Dear father, I alp going to see him. I must do it or die. Don't worry about me -or try to follow me, for if you do I will rommit suicide. Please forgive me for spending your money, but I must go.\ When Mr. Jones discovered what his &tighter had done his grief was great, but he deckled not to follow bee slough- tet for fear she would carry out her threat. He went on to Camden. 1114 More Work for Spotters. Ti..‘ street ear spotter has practically disappeared from some western cities, where just lately a scheme of selling tickets for 25 cents good for six rides (there should also be sold thirty tick- ets for $1) has come into general use. The conductor punches a hole In the ticket for each ride. The spotter can- not, of course, tell which passengers have paid cash farce and which have, trip cards, and so his usefulness has gone and he is going himself. The Rock Island road recently adopted a seem- ingly excellent. plan on its local trains running out of Chicago. The conduc- tors were informed that it, the future spotters would not be employed on the road and that the money thus save.] week] be applied to an Increase in the wage tt of s conductors. The conductors woeld not in the future be watched, be regarded as trttated em- ployes and paid As such. The plan Is ssid to work to the atC.lefact in of both eonmeny and men. • Electric lights are sbon ;.p be nut up to ilitimiliste athirst:1 Isells at night.

Cincinnati The Brooklyn rani) huts al- ways prreented open betting as much as possible. The Boston and Philadel- phia chiles are also very partlenlar about the enforcement of the rule.\ While the above is probably exag eerated, there is no doubt that gam Wing upon base -ball Is becoming alto settler too frequent and heavy for the ultimate good of the game. A peculiar danger was pointed out by the SpArting 1.Ife last spring, viz that gambling on horse - t - acing having been practically suppressed by the strong arm of the law all over the country, there was a probability that the irrepressible spec- ulative fraternity would find a vent for its passion or business in some (Bret.- don, and that base -hall, owing to its great popularity, vast extent and pe,m- liar uncertainty, woulti be seized upon as the most available sport for exploi- tation. That danger still exists; in fact, is greater now than ever, and it therefore behooves all directly intereet- ed in the game to not only keep a watchful eye upon its every phase, but to give no handle to its opponents or opportunity for the birds of prey to fasten themselves upon it. It is for this reason that Mr. ltobinson's recog- nition of the gambling possibilities is to be keenly regretted. There never was a time that the game needed more careful handing and nursing than just now, whereas upon the surface it seems to need it least. A great many things have happened within the last two sea- sons which must cause the thoughtful and discerning lovers of the game much disquietude as to the future. The ef- fect of past and recent mistakes Is bound to be cumulative, so that when confidence in the integrity of the sport and of those who control it once be- gins to go it will go with a rush, and the bottom drop out of the game with a dull thud. It has taken years to place the game upon the high pinnacle It now occupies, but It may require only one season, one month, one week, or even one day to undo the work of two decades. Beware of the blighting, withering touch of the gambling co- horts.—Charles J. Richter, Editor of Sporting, Life. Training a Cavalry Or A curious story comes from Berlin A lieutenant of a uhlan regiment made a bet about six months ago that he dot is a Parisienne. She lately re- placed Miss Marie Tempest In the prin. cipal role of \An Artist's Model.\ would train a young ox within six months so that it would obey the word of command like a cavalry horse. The trial took plare a few days ago on the drill ground of the uhlan barracks in the invalidenstrasse. It seemed at first as though the officer would win his bet. The ox trotted, galloped right, galloped left, and did everything per- fectly till it came to the vaulting. In this the animal failed, and the officer lost his bet.
