PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-The myster
ious mission of the Philadelphia tug boat,
George W. Chllds, has assumed an en
tirely new aspect and, unless the steamer
Is actually engaged In filibustering tactics,
he is beyond the' pale of legal interfer
ence by the United States government.
The theory has obtained here that the
voyage of the Childs to Jamaica was for
the purpose of towing Insurgent transports
and assisting the rebellious factions In the
landing of troops. The statement of Deputy
Collector Crilley, to-day, that before clear
ing the George W. ChlMs was placed
under foreign registry completely alters
the responsibility of her owners and crew.
Mr. Crilley said tfcat before taking out
his clearance papers Captain Swain had
applied for and secured a foreign register,
at the same time releasing his coastwise
register with which the tug boat was sup
plied. 'The department - Is thoroughly
convinced." said Mr. , Crilley, "that the
mission of the Child Has not in violation
of any laws governing the departure of
Amercian vessels for foreign ports as far
as her clearance from the port of Phila
delphia is concerned. If her owners or
officers have elected to carry on any fili
bustering actions they have done so after
leaving this city. There will be no in
vestigation because none is necessary."
Ciotura IiiTitlr Puerto Principe.
HAVANA, June 13. Maximo Gom?z has
invaded the province of Puerto ' Principe
at the head of a band of Insurgents, and
has arrived near Puerto Principe, the cap
ital of the province. Several important
personages of the neighborhood and the
autonomists of Puerto Principe are going
to have a conference with Gomez, with the
view of prevailing on him to desist from
further armed revolution. The people of
the province or Puerto Principe are not in
favor of the revolution.
Insurgents. It is reported here, murdered
a citizen near Pavr.mo, a town in the east
ern part of the island. On the plantation of
Senor Itomelio. near (uantanamo, Fermozi
harged a number of citizens, soldiers and
two miners. They were taken prisoners
near Gibara. In this instance, as in many
others, the Insurgents mutilated the
bodies of the dead in a horrible manner.
Kven during the conflicts on the fi?ld. wher
ever possible, the revolutionists, after shoot-
ing. carried on this practice of cutting to
pieces the toliea of the dead. Reports re
ceived here indicate that the insurgents
have raised -large bands in the vicinity of
an Antonio and Barrcs.

Cuba. It is believed that vessels will be
purchased abroad and sent to ('uba in cr-
dr to more thoroughly patrol the coast
of that Island.
A law has been gazetted suspending the
redemption of the Cuban notes of l&m), in
order to defray the expenses of the war.

WABASH, Ind., June 13. The Wabash
county grand jury adjourned yesterday
after a session of six weeks, most of which
time was consumed in the Investigation of
the official acts of the Wabash county
Board of Commissioners. Serious charges
had been made against the members of the
board by a local newspaper, and Judge
Shivcly ordered a special Investigation. The
grand Jury to-day filed its repot, which is
most sensational, and will result in imme
diate and vigorous criminal prosecution of
the three commissioners, Judson Lukens, of
Roann; James Starbuck, of Lagro, and E.
P. . Failor, of Lafontalnc.
The report declares there appears to be
amazing Ignorance of official duty and dis
regard of the public Interest in refusing to
advertise such business as the law directs,
in not keeping record of the "publje con
tracts, in borrowing or allowing to be bor
rowed large sum3 of money without mak
ing record of same, In making additional
allowances on contracts, in allowing ac
counts filed against the county
without verification by claimant,
In making contracts with one another
to perform other than specific work. In
making allowances to themselves for work
which the law forbids doing, in conducting
the public business with a reckless diregard
of business principles and In surrounding
the public business with an air of secrecy
arousing suspicion."
The report also charges that "often by
telegrams meetings have been arranged be
tween commissioners and a certain bridge
company's agent, and at his exensr t..vj
commissioners have been driven about the
county. At prices suspiciously large con
tracts have been let out of session for
bridges for which there had never been pe
titions, notice or requests, and at places
where none save this bridge man and his
three dupes considered it a work of neces
sity. From this agent presents have been
received by the commissioners or those with
whom they are directly connected, of money
and other valuables. A thorough overhaul
ing of the public records is recommended by
the Incoming board."

AX OLD CONFESSION.
Suicide Overman Murdered and
Robbed n Man of f.JO.tMMJ.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind.. June 13. Last winter an
old resident of Windfall, named Overman,
committed suicide under peculiar circum
stances. This week, in going through Mr.
Overman's papers, to make a real-estate
conveyance, a letter was found, written by
Overman a few days before he ended his
life which conveyed the Information that
more than twenty years aero Overman fell
In with a stranger, supposed to be a
wealthy Englishman on his way to Colo
rado to purchase a cattle ranch. The strang
er carried in his valise 130,000 of English
bank notes and coin. The temptation to se
cure this vast sum of money overcame
Overman and he lured the man to a se
cluded spot and murdered him. The body
was secreted in a swamp in Tipton county
and has never been found.
After getting possession of the money.
Overman says in his letter, he was afraid
to spend any of it, fearing detection. He
was also afraid to exchange it for American
money for the same reason and without
disposing of a shilling of the cash secreted
it about the premises.
Years wore on and th? crime preyed heav
ily on Overman's mind. He avoided meet
ing his neighbors, leading, as much as
possible, a hermit's life. Finally he b3
came desperate and determined to end the
torment by self-destruction. This he did
some months ago. his dead body being
found in A field with a bullet in the brain.
.The letter did not give any explanation of
the whereabouts of the body of the mur
dered man, the date of the murder, or the
name of the unfortunate man. Neither did
it Indicate where the hidden $30,000 could be
found. It is thought the wealth is stored
away somewhere in the house or buried in
the yard. The relatives are on a lively
hunt for the hidden treasure but have not
succeeded in finding it.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMIXGTOX. Ind.. June 13.-The com
mencement exercises of the Law School
were held at the old college chapel last
night, eighteen future members of the bar
receiving their sheepskins. The commence
ment address was delivered by the Hon. R.
D. Richardson, of Evansville, an alumnus of
Indiana University. It was an able effort,
dealing first with the duties and obligations
of a lawyer's career and Its high functions,
and afterward with the standards of legal"
education to-day. Judge Richardson is a
firm believer in higher education as a prepa
ration for a legal career. Without a strong
foundation in the liberal arts a young man's
chance of success at the bar are very slim
indeed to-day. The shysters and pettifog
gers are no more able to earn a living by
fleecing the public. Better to begin at
twenty-seven or twenty-eight years of age
with a liberal education than earlier with
out solid preparation. Since 1S37, when the
Supreme Court met temporarily at Bloom
lngton, none of its functions had been per
formed here until last night, when Judge
James II. Jordan administered to the class
the oath admitting them to practice in the
State's highest court. Judge Jordan also
addressed the candidates-on th duties and
responsibilities of their new position. Fol

EVAXSVILLE, Ind., June 13. The epi
demic, of typhoid fever that has prevailed
hero with varying Intensity for several
weeks has finally been checked by the ef
forts of the Board of Health and the city
authorities, aided by a citizens' committee
of twenty-flve, appointed to work in con
Junction with them in remedying the sani
tary condition of the city. The epidemic
reached its highest point about four weeks
ago. when for seven days 10S cases were re
ported to the health authorities. From that
time the disease has gradually decreased,
until within the pat three days there have
been no reports of new cases. It is be
lieved the epidemic arose from the water
supply, which is drawn from an intake In
the river, several hundred feet below the
output of a sewer and slough. The drainage
from these has been diverted to a consider
able distance below the intake, and since
then the disease began to disappear as
quickly almost as it showed itself. The
health authorities now say that the dlseas(n
is under control, that no new cases are be
ing reported, and that the city's health at
this time Is better than it has been during
the summer for many years.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.. Juno 13.-Thc
mystery surrounding the disappearance of
Capt. W. H. Clark, government inspector
of steamboats at Howard's shipyards, in
this city, is still unsolved. His friends have
about concluded that he was drowned,
either accidentally or that he drowned him
self. The workmen at the shipyards state
that for several days he had been appar
ently troubled over something, and that it
was often necessary to speak to him sev
eral times before he would answer. Capt.
Mediu, of St. Louis, who is also a gov
ernment inspector, states that when he last
saw Clark he was in deep thought, walk
ing along the edge of the river. Chief
Cisco, who is investigating the case, is pos
itive that Clark is drowned. The fact that
he had considerable money in his possession
causes many to think that he has been
foully dealt with. A derby hat was found
on the falls, which, it is thouzht, belonged
to Clark. Captain Howard telegraphed to
his wife at Grand View, Tenn., but as she
Is quite ill she is unable to come.

(Copyright, 1833, by Shirley Dare.)
The balm of the vernal grass is In the
air that delicate incense which one will
be sorry to miss from the fields of heaven,
if such a perfect thing can bo left out
there. The very soil of these hillsides is
fragrant with the du3t of sweet things
grown upon them scented grass, sweet
clover rioting on the cindertcds along the
rallroadsv, sweet fern and birberry, black
birch and laurus benzoin, or spice bush,
and the wild cherry, which gives the woods
that haunting fruity fragrance, infatuating
the sense in early autumn and late spring,
an odor of remembrance which carries the
heart away with longing after all sweet
and departed things. What is it? A trace
of hydrocyanic acid and sweet varnish on
bark and leaves. Yet one had rather catch
the tantalizing wafts of it than to hear
much music. What are we made of, that
scent and sound and air can play upon
U3 as to draw the soul from the body with
intensest longing? That wild cherry odor
is steeped in the sweetness of all seasons
bloomed and faded the aroma of that
viewless draught in which we pledge the
dead.
Fill your house with sweet things for the
children to remember after you are gone.
An odor will reach them, remind them of
home when language is worthless. Never
mind a poor home if it is airy and clean
and perfumy with wild natural things. I
know a house where the closets smell of
vernal grass and sweet clover gathered
years gone by, and the balsamic scent cf
vhite sage, plucked in California more
than thirteen years ago, has hardly left
its shelf. These things are for the neaith
of our bodies ana atfections. "
Sweet scents are antiseptic, nervine, stim
ulant, sedative indeed, you may get the
whole round of medication out of them.
The greater part of what we call the sweet
est flowers have the hydrocyanic base un
derneath their honeyed scent. Lilacs, arbu
tus, orange blossoms, violets and all the
fruit blossoms are tinctured with its ether
apple bloom most delicately of all. Certain
white pinks have a dash of it, but the car
nation and gtlliflower tribe are the exquis
ites of flowers, as far as scent is concerned,
and purely stimulant vivifying. Their
breath exhales ozone, and so does rosemary,
plant of the sea, which I long to see ac
climated here with Its mates, lavender and
wallflowers. You find hedges of lavender in
California, home of sweet aromatics, but I
hunted the flower markets of New York
this year in vain for a single plant, and
found but two of rosemary, with a sorry
looking array of forced wallflowers. So we
must perforce make the most of our own
scented plants, choice enough In themselves
but lacking association. Our finest native
shrubs of the laurel family which scent
tho borders of the lawn with Italian rich
ness smell to us only of root beer and the
barber's shop. Were sassafras a tropTc
plant we would esteem it like benzoin and
sandalwood, and find snake root delightful
as vertivert frangipannl. It is cruel to seo
tho destruction of the wild cherry trees
for short riddance of cankerworm nests,
for few trees have finer qualities. The
wood wrought into cabinetwork is hardly
lees fragrant than the violetwood of Aus
tralia, and the bureaus and closets panel
ed with it in old French work keep their
scent though made in the reign of the
Grand Monrrque.
Elegant French Women were very . fond
of tho coffers and cabinets of this wood,
hardly second to mahogany in lustre and
richness. The trees might be preserved
and the worms killed by discreet manage
ment if all the useless boys In the country
were set to burn out the canker nests
wherever seen. If Arbor day were given
up to this good work with battalions of
boys carrying kerosene torches it would be
put to better use than it is now. The ob
servance mostly consists in setting out a
dozen spindling trees left to die of drought
before the summer is over and the after
noon is given up to rupturing blood ves
sels and getting up intestinal hemorrhages
by bicycle racing. Boys would find more
sport burning out worms' nest3 if they
were shown how, and all the tfld campaign
torches would be put to reasonable use
the boys likewise. It is not beyond wom
en's work either. I was up before sunrise
thl3 morning burning out the only two
rests this year out of forty infested trees
about the grounds three years ago. Early
and late those worms were fought with
the torch of war, an old Droom and a
pail of kerosene. A few branches were
killed, but the worms died too. What if the
pests do start in the wild cherry thickets
must we lose one of the choicest orna
mental and useful trees of the country
when each neighborhood has idle boys
enough to sweep the woods of the worms
without chopping down the coppices?
THE KIND TO GATHER.
Even at the North we may keep a calen
dar of fresh incense each month from our
own fields and woods. The year of per
fume begins when the prunings and billets
of the cherry trees are burnt on the
hearth, In March evenings, shedding de
lectable aroma through the house. In
April gather witch hazel twigs and buds
and balm of Gilead buds for their wild,
woodsy odor, grateful as that of wild
olive. These things fresh are very different
from the decoctions of the apothecary," an
d
they blend with other aromatics in maktng
strange, pleasant comcications. aiay
wakes the maidenly odcr of the vernal
grass, which 19 cut in bunches thick as
the wrist to dry in closets, as the English
keep their woodroffe and tussilago of sim
ilar fragrance. These bunches outlast lav
ender, and are exquisite for scenting linen.
June is the month for beginning potpourri
and filling rose Jars, which may be filled
with wild roses, varieties of which have
the scent of the tree rosa damascena. from
which attar is made, if you are fortunate
enough to find them. An old English Flora
says .the water from the common dog rose
Is by many considered more fragrant than
when di.-tilled from any of the garden
roses. The evergreen single white rose
yields the fine-scented attar from the coast
of Darbary and Egypt; the double rose
loses its yield of oil, though some zoses
which have scentless attar make fragrant
rose water rasa centifolia or hundred
leafed rose chief among them.
Fo" roe Jars pure and simple admit no
other flower, and the choicest for enduring
odor Is the common province or cabbage
rose almost unknown in our gardens filled
with purplish hybrids. Its peta.s keep their
fragrance mor than a year in a close en
velope. Fragrant tearoses deserve to be
kept by themselves; a Jar of bonsiline petals
13 a thing to make one dream. Gather all
roses as soon after opening as possible, in
the morning of a dry day. as soon as the
dew is off, though one would not willingly
forego the example of English girls Jn nov-
fl3 who go out afternoons on the terrace
to gather the rose leaves that have fallen
on the grass. Rose leaves are rose leaves,
provided they are free from rain or de.v.
They should be strewn thinly on piper or
cheese cloth, with half an hour in the sun
and finish drying in the shade, in an airy
place, till noon. Put them quickly away
in bulk. A glass candy jar will be found
the best thing to store them in. Do not
pack them, but shake tnem in lightly, giv
ing the Jar a rap to settle them, and put
thin cotton wadding under the tin cap. Salt
Is added to rose petals in many recipes for
rose Jars, but this Is a mistake. Abroad
rose leaves are pickled for making com
mercial rose water, being first wilted In the
sun and packed in casks In alternate lay
ers of petals and fine salt, to be distilled
any time wanted. The salt is not s much
to preserve the leaves as to absorb their
remaining moisture, which it gives up in
distillation. From these pickled roses we
get the "pure imported rosewater" soil,
the weak, brackish stuff, which is no more
like freshly distilled roses than vln ordi
naire is like violet Burgundy. Roses keep
best without any addition. If dry.
HOW TO SCENT LACES.
To scent laces or silk adorably, line a
flrawer with thick white paper, strew
fresh gathered peta's thickly over it and
lay the lace or silk open over them, adding,
another layer cf leaves, other lac2s and fin
ishing with a cover of tissue paper. Close
the drawer and leave it twenty-four hours'
or longer, examining to see that no damp
appears. This is the court practice for per
fuming queen's laces and lawns.
July is the month or beginning potpourri,
which is another thing from rilling rose
Jars. If you want something better than
the mince meat and fruit cake effect of
the cjmmon potpourri use three times the
quantity of flowers and one-third the
spices called for in recipes. For a fine pot
pourri leave all spice? out save crushed
cloves and U32 a cup of ground orange peel,
dried and pounded, the same of lomcn peel
and an ounce of gum benzoin In - the Jar
as a foundation. To this add a pound or
two of dry lavender flowers, all the green
leaves of lemon verbena you can have, a
;uarter-3f a pound of orris ta .coarse pow
der, all the gilliflower. carnations and
pinks possible, or in want of these two
ounces of crushed cloves. Let these ue
close covered for a week, opening the jar
and giving the contents a stir when it is
desired to scent the room. A three-gallon
Jar Is a desirable size for filling. The fool
ish little rose Jars sold, holding less tan
a pint, are made for rose past or other
heavily scented Oriental confections in
mass, not for dry leaves.
In August gather sweet clover and balsam
flr tips. The whole plant of sweet clover is
fragrant, the dead stalks In winter scenting
yards around in the snow. Pas of It hung
in closets last sweot for a year, and cush
ions of it in a room are very pleasant. The
Jersey road sides abound with this delight
ful, plant, which should be put to use, and
would be in any country but our own un
thrifty one. In August and September all
the garden herbs are fit for cutting, sweet
basil and delicate woodmlnts. not pepper
mint, but lemonseented and camphory things,
wh.'ch seem to like to lie In one's hand. and
have their mild odor co.ixed out cf them.
October sees the wild immortelle perfect,
its tiny white roses of sweet, comforting
smell, which the dry blossoms keen for sea
sons. Like rosemary, its ordor Is one of
suggestion and remembrance, and it has
all the good qualities which commonly go
with grateful scent, for not content with
beauty of color and perfume, cur best flow
ers pride themselves on their medical prop
erties, like beauties of the town, turned
sick nurses.
November and December have stores of
bayberry and cedar. Juniper and other ever
green berries one likes to keep to throw
a few on the winter lire and rill the room
with household Incense. The berried bowa
smell fresh and spicy in the hall, and a
plant in a tub is a beautiful decoration at
Christmas time, takine it up carefully with
plenty of Its own soil the summer before,
and shading and giving it plenty of water.
If it were a foreign plant, with Its rich
leaves and clusters of blue jjray berries, we
would make much of It. How stupidly use
dulls us to the nearest beauty!
FIIt-FILLED PILLOWS.
Everybody likes the pillows of balsam flr
tips, but It may be remembered that these
are better fresh every year, though they
retain scent longer. Pillows of rose leaves
are pleasant in idea long after the smell
Is out of them, and are sleep producing
when fresh. Iri Tunis and Egypt they used
to fill silken mattresses with rose leaves
for luxurious, black-bea reded, scimetar
noSed rulers, and in Persia even now the
bath is strewn with rose leaves, insidiously
soothing. Homelier, yet as grateful a lux
ury, is the pillow of lemon balm, which
displaced and derided plant is really one
of the strongest nervines, whether sipned
in tea or laid under a restless liead. A hop
pillow is nothing beside .a balm pillow,
whose scent puts babies to sleep and wiles
away headaches. Lemon jreranium and
verbena leaves may go toward filling this
pillow, for the lemon scent is always re
freshing. And let those who cannot find
this Frenchy herb In reach try a lavender
pillow for those who have sleepless nights,
and float away to rest, thanking the kindly
herb. A cushion of lemon leaves and fresh
hops is very pleasant and soporific, less fit
for any but the sick room. '

In the . name of rose water, with the
strength lost by keeping, or manufactured
rosewater, is made by pouring attar on
powdered magnesia and filtering distilled
water through it, or the water from pickled
roses- of the Levant. The filtered rose
water may be nice they use about seven
drops of attar for making a pint and for
bathing face and eyes it is better than the
distilled, because less astringent. But it
has not the richness of the true rosewater,
triply stilled from fresh roses, the heavy,
oily water, with a honey-colored tinge, ahi
a honeyed tincture in its sweetness, often
an aromatic spirit blending in its soft
breath. The choicest gift I over had. to
my taste, was several bottles of home rose
water, sent by a Maryland lady, who dis
tilled it from her own fields of roses, after
a recipe used in the family for generations.
I never had the least good of it, as it was
left with a friend for safe keeping, and
the servant girl drank it up! But the per

me what rosewater really is, and left me

ST. FRAN'CLS, Kan., June 33. A horriU.
tragedy was enacted about nine rr.ilsj
northeast of St. Francis this morning.
Frank Williams, a farnur, while in a tX
of jealousy, attempted to murder hii wife,
also Miss Alice Smith and William mi:h.
He then beat out the brains of his own
children, a little girl, aged about five, ani
a boy, about nine years of age, with a
hatchet, after which he blew out 1.1s own
brain? with a revolver. Williams lost his
first-wife last September, and on May l:
was married to Mrs. Anna Kennedy, form
erly a Miss Dixon, who lived near by, and
who had assisted in his housework for some,
time past. Their married life was very un
happy, and after about four weeks of tur
moil the woman left him and went to liv
with a man named A Swnnson, a neighbor.
During the past week Williams went to
the house of Swanson several
times, nourished a revolver and
threatened to kill his wife and Mis.
Swanson. This morning the anon
family and Mrs. William started for t.
