One of the most important statements in

CONSPIRATORS CAUGHT;
A Foul Plot To Blight The Life Of An
Innocent Man.
A St. Louis despatch says : James A.
Brock, formerly of St. Louis, but now a
resident of El Paso, Tea., is the hero in a
most sensational occurrence in criminal
annals. For over fourteen years Mr.
Brock has been under suspicion of being the
murderer of lids cousin, Frank. Woolsey,
baying been twice indicted for the crime by
the grand jury of Shakelford county, Tex.
But he now stands before the world an
innocent man, having after an incessant
search located his missing relative in
Benton, Ark. On the 22nd of May, 1877,
Frank Woolsey disappeared, and Brock
was suspected of having murdered him.
Brock alleges that he was persecuted for
years afterwards. He felt confident
that.Woolsey was not dead, but that it was
= conspiracy among tho Woolseys to rob hini
of his ranch. tie spent a large sum of
money to locate Wooleey, and. offered a
$1,000 reward for his discovery. About
three months ago a detective located
Woolsey in Benton, Ark. Brock claims to
have positive evidence that will convict
the Woolseys of conspiracy and gays he
will institute legal proceedings immediately.

A London cable says: The Chinese
Minister to Germany has arrived at St.

sudden and urgent orders from Pekin re-
garding the Russian encroachments upon
Pamir, the extensive table land of Central
Asia. The Chinese Government became
alarmed over the advices that the Russians
had penetrated far beyond the frontier of
this district, and the Minister was en-
trusted to proceed to St. Petersburg and

the 'intention of the expedition. China and

A Man Bound, Gagged and Hurled from a

A Denver despatch says: Whiskey and
jealousy were the causes oaf a tragedy yes-
terday morning which cost one life and will
probably land two men in the penitentiary
for a long term. The notorious Jim Coir.
nors and Mike Ryan were drinking in a
saloon after midnight, and Connors being
goaded and teased by his friends over the
fact that his mistress, a Mrs. Dalcoff, had
deserted him for C. J. Fennicum, became so
enraged that he took Ryan and, going to
Mrs. Dalcoff's rooms, broke open the door
and found her in , bed with Fennicum, to
whom she was engaged to be married. Fen-
nicum was ordered todress, after which he
was knocked down, tied hand and foot, a
gag placed over his mouth, and then carried
to the window and thrown into the alley.
On the way to the ground three stories
below his head struck a projecting stone,
leaving a portion of the skull. When
picked up it was found that the jaw was
broken, both hiseyesout and the skull torn
open until the brains were exposed. Be was

A Boy With a Rubber Toy in His Traelue.
A St. John, N. B., despatch rays
Twenty-seven days ago John Taylor, 10
years old, was playing with a toy balloon.
The balloon was filled with air through a
hollow mouthpiece. Taylor blew too hard
and the balloon burst. He was startled by
the sound, and his gasp of surprise drew the
mouthpiece, together with a piece of the
rubber, into his windpipe. His desperate
efforts to obtain breath forced the obstruc-
tion down to the bronchial tubes, at the
entrance to which it became lodged. At
the public Hospital Drs.- MacLaren and
White decided upon tracheotomy as afford-
ing the only chance to save Taylor's life.
the incision was made, but the whistle could
not be reached. ' The physicians said then
Witt Taylor's death was a question of only a
few hours. To -day thelSoy was sent home,
as nothing more could be'done for him. • The
whistle had become lodged in the left bron-
chial tube, and the patient breathes through
it with comparative ease. It is though the
rubber attachment must have been absorbed,
as no whistle has been heard since a day or
two after the accident. The boy still
breathes through the incision in his throat,
but it is rapidly healing.
A Type -Setting Machine Test. '
A -Chicago despatch says: The private
test of ,type -setting machines, held here
under the auspices of a committee of the
American Newspaper Publishers' Associa-
tion, closed last evening. The test has been
very satisfactory in many respects, and the
report of the committee will. give newspaper
publishers a definite idea as to the work
which can be done by the various machines.
For three hours during the forenoon the
machines Were worked by members of the
Typographical Union who had never before
seen them, to show the capacity of begin -
tiers who are practical printers, and for
three hours in the afternoon they were
worked also by girls familiar- with the Rem-
ington typewriter keyboard, to ascertain
what could bedone on the machines by
those who are suddenly called upon to
operate them. All next week the machines
will be on exhibition to newspaper publish-
ers and the public.

' A BOY MURDERER.

A Milwaukee despatch says : Annie
Kodatz, a 15 -year old girl, weak-minded, was
murdered on October 7th by Albert Kohle,
a 16 -year-old, who worked on her father's
farm just outside the city. The body of
the murdered girl was discovered last night
under the stable floor, and to -day Kohls
confessed he killed the girl by hitting her
on the head with a hammer. Kohls had
been intimate with the girl, and she was
soon to become a mother, and he killed her,
he says, for this reason. On the day of the
murder Kohls also tried to poison the
Kodatz family by putting paria green in
some soup.

Words of Wisdom.

Most women are ambitious ; they want to
be men.
Sweethearts and wives are entirely dif-
ferent women. . -
Women are apt to criticise women with
undue severity.
A woman i seldom prosaic until she is

To keep your own secret is wisdom ; to

"'' "i'A Feminine Weakness.
' Fully half the virtues for which their
owners are praised are of spontaneous
growth, and really reflect little credit upon
those who practice them.
Let us take a case in point -that of a
woman who has -a pet extravagance. It is
teacups. She lovas pretty clothes, but she
can gaze at the latest fabrics in the win
dews of dry goods shops without being
tempted to purchase, and can even survey
unshaken, invoices of Parisian millinery,
gowns and gloves. She has a sweet tooth,
but when occasion requires she can steer
a steady course between Purssell's and
Arnaud's, or Huyler's and Deane's, with-
out swerving to the right or to the left.
Butalterw. he nears her steps
f
Strange to say, the very high-priced shops
do not most beguile her. Her attraction:is
towards those fascinating little establish-
anents that display cards bearing the legends,
Special.Sale ! Great Reduction ,!! Marked
Down ! ! ! Like a moth to a candle, is she
drawn towards that place of temptation.
All china is dear to her heart, but she can
resist plates, teapotS, and even cream -jugs,
of which every housekeeper known one can
never have too many. But when she be-
holds a cup and saucer ticketed Only 24
cents, she is sure to succumb. She can hold
out a trifle longer if she reads 39 cents, and
twice she has been known to walk on, with
an air of dignity, as far as the corner, be-
fore she could make up her mind to go in
and buy the cup -and saucer billed, For to-
day only, 50 cents. Don't think she is
reckless in her selection. She always pre-
fers pretty china, and generally shows ex-
cellent taste, but she will buy a plain cup
sooner than refuse a bargain.
Now this woman is known as a good wife
and mother. She is praised ftlir her house-
keeping, which she likes for her devotion
to her husband and children whom she
adores, for her pleasant, cordial manner,
which is entirely naturel, and for her phil-
anthropy and berievolence, which are innate.
'But should she tell of the times when she
scores a veritable moral victory lay crossing
the street to keep away from a china shop,
or recites poetry to herself to aid
her in forgetting an advertisement
of a Closing -out . Sale, Cups and
Saueers of fine Doulten, Copeland and
Limoges at only 63 cents apiece, every one
would laugh, and no one would think it
worth while to account her resistance of
temptation as a long step in the path of
self-control and self-denial.
Which goes to prove the force of the sen-
tence that preludes this truthful narrative.
-Harper's Bazar.
Women's Rights.
New York Herald: The Rev. William
Gorman spoke a good word for women in
the Methodist Convention at Washington.
Her influence is needed in the Church, he
said, and it is always a good influence.
There is no reason why the graces and apti-
tudes which adorn the home should be in-
terdicted within the circle of our religious
life.
She can teach her sons to preach, ah she
has been known to assist her husband in the
preparation of a sermon. We welcome her
voice everywhere else, and why not in the
pulpit?
The world I:Slogging. along in that direc-
tion, Doctor. You are only a few short years
ahead of the times, that's all.
And, bv the way, the women are well
equipped for the fight and are achieving
some bravo successes. Slowly but surely,they
are encroaching on the various employments
heretofore monopolized by men, and it
wouldn't be surprishsg if by and bye men
should be forced to organize for self-protec-
tion. Women's rights are pretty fully
established and the grave question of the
future will be. How many or how few are
to•be the rights which women will allow
men to enjoy?

Ile was No Smoker.
Although in later life Napoleon was a
votary of the snuff box, he was never known
to attempt smoking but once. The Persian
Ambassador having presented, him with a
magnificent oriental pipe, he wished to give
it a trial. After being instructed how to
proceed, he desired his attendant, Constant,
to light it. It was accordingly properly
charged and lighted. We will let Constant
tell the rest of the tale. " I obeyed, and
returned it to him. But scarcely had be
drawn a mouthful, when the smoke, which
he did not know how to expel from his
mouth, turned back by his palate, pene-
trated into his throat, and, came out by his
nose, nearly blinding him. As soon as he
recovered breath he exclaimed, ' Take that
away -what an abomination ! The brutes !
My stomach is quite .upset !' In fact, he
was so annoyed for more -than an hour that
he renounced forever all. desire to try, the -
experiment again." -National Review.
" Smart has married Mimi Dasher."
" Yee, I heard so ; it seems to me a rash
experiment." " Why so ?" " He's a self-
made man and she's a tailor-made girl, and •
it is ,doubtful if such a combination will
work well together."

Wis. This is the opinion of a Man
who, keeps a drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,
and knows better than anyone else
how remedies sell, and what true
merit they have. He hears of all
the failures and successes, and can
therefore judge : " I know of no

winter a lady called
Hoarseness, at my store, who was
suffering from a very
severe cold. She could hardly talk,
and I told her about German Syrup
and that a few doses would give re-
lief; but she had no confidence in
patent medicines. I told her to take
a bottle, and if the results were not
satisfactory I would make no charge
for it. 'A few days after she called
and paid for it, saying ; that she
would never bewithout it in future as
a few doses had given her relief." ®
