this thought come into your purchases and it will make your money.

counter. You cannot equal them at 20c perhaps not at 25c; price Monday io cents.
Our dress making "department under Madame Liggett, is already getting

TRAWBRIDGE MENTALLY DISABLED.
Xexia, Mich., March 8. It is announced
here with a positiveness that makes it
most indisputable that Attorney General
Trnwbridge will ho compelled to resign
his ofnee. For some months past he has
been suffering from a mental disorder and
his condition lately has hecome so serious
that his friends have decided to remove
him to his old home at Birmingham,
where he will have absolute rest and quiet.
This may affect him beneficially for the
present, but the feeling is general that his
mental strength is fast ebbing away and
that he is incurable.
A PETITION FOR DISSOLUTION.
Philadelphia, Pa., March S. Charles
R. McMichael, Esq., today made apnlica
tion to the court of common pleas No. 4,
Judge Wilson presiding, in the matter of
the petition of the Credit Mobiler com
pany of America for dissolution. The
accounts show that the corporation is pos
sessed of the account and office books and
papers used by it in its business which are
of no value, and that the corporation has
no outstanding obligations of any kind
and Is not indebted to any person, firm or
corporation. Mr. McMichael moved to
appoint an auditor, hut tne judge thought
that where there were no accounts to audit
an auditor would be of little use. He
took the papers and held the matter under
advisement.

A WORKHOUSE SCANDAL.
A frightful Condition Prevalent at the
Kansas Oitv Institution.
Kaxsas Citv, Mo , March S. The charges
made by Alderman Ford concerning the
frightful condition of the prisoners con
fined in the workhouse are found to be
true. Two reporters of the Times investi
Kated the matter this afternoon and fouud
that about seventy-live male prisoners are
crowded into narrow and filthy cells,
reeking with vermin and not pro
vided with sanitary regulations. The
men are constantly manacled with shack
les weighing from five to thirteen sounds,
and are therefore prevented from bathing.
lwootthe prisoners said they had not
taken a b.ith for two months. Many of
the cells ate five feet long, and in some of
them are confined men six feet tall
For
these seventy-five prisoners are but i
two guarus. J.nc guards say that
on account of the desperate character of
the men it is necessary to bhackle
them to prevent them escaping so Jong as
they are alone, have to guard them and
they remain in their present quarters. The
building is ol wood and the partitions are
thin. The committee appointed to inves
tigate the matter will report at Monday

Old World Gossip.
Vills Fkaxchk, France, March S. On
Friday the Bamphino, a small steamer,
chattered by the Hotchkiss Ordnance com
pany, arrived in the harbor for the purpose
of experimenting with the Howell auto
matic torpedo. This torpedo since its in
vention has been a most formidable rival
of the Whitehead and with coutinued im
provement has developed into a most
destructible and reliable destructive
weapon. In the afternoon itwas given four
very severe tests, the first three at a
range of 300 metres (about 330 yards) and
the last at a range of 820 metres. A target
consisting of light rone netting forty or
sixty rods iu length and twenty feet deep,
weighted at the bottom and floated with
buoys, was placed 300 metres from the dis
charge tube. To indicate the center of the
target a red flag was displayed from a staff
and after every discharge the target would
be hauled up, the injured meshes located
and the true score accurately ob
tained. In the first three trials the
torpedo was set for 300 metres distance and
two and a half metres submersion. In or
der to thoroughly understand the working
of, the torpedo, it is necessary to add that
motion is imparted to it by the momentum
of a fly wheel set in rapid motion by a
steam power generating 9,000 revolutions
before the torpedo is launched, and that its
submersion is controlled by an automatic
submersion regulator which can be set for
any desired depth. Each time it
was aimed at the target the tor
pedo never struck moro than a
metro's length horizontally from the
center of the target while the depth was
absolutely correct in every instance.
The trials were regarded as eminently
successful by Mr. F. H. Paine, late lieu
tenant United States navy, who was iu
charge of the operations on behalf of the
Hotchkiss company, and the inventor him
self, Captain Howell, who commanded the
Atlanta and who happened to be on the
spot at the time, could not conceal his
satisfaction.
The target was then hauled up and the
torpedo w.is set for S00 metres, 9,000 revo
lutions momentum, -de Jtk two and one
half metres. The result was most gratify
ing. The torpedo darted like lightning
on its sub-aqueous mark and after its mo
mentum had given out and it floated to
the surface it was found by leciprocal
hearings and measurement that its course
had been a direct horizontal line, depth as
indicated by the register two and one-half
metres. The officers of the French fleet
were much impressed with the exhibition
ot the torpedo and spoke in high terms of
its superiority.
WILLIAM'S IDEA.
Eecent Utterances Construed as Meaning
a Policy of Absolutism.
Copyi ichtcil 1S'J, by the New York Associated Prcssl
BERLIN", March S. The government has
decided to open the business of the reich
stag with the projects prepared by the
council of state, the foremost of which
are bills regulating work on Sunday, and
restricting the hours of labor of women
and children. The more complex meas
ures, relating to the hours of the male
adults and miners' work day, will be re
served until the autumn session. Simul
taneously with the presentation of sev
eral measures, increased army and colonial
credits will be demanded. There will also
be presented a bill aiming to control strikes
and anti-anarchist measures designed to
replace the anti-socialist law.
It is impossible to foresee how the differ
ent elements of the reichstag will group
themselves upon the government's propo
sitions. The official expectancy is that
the projects of the council of state will be
quietly discussed and accepted, but the
army credits and the anti-anarchist law
will last the position of the government to
ward tho majority. They foreseo organ
ized efforts put forward in order to force
the Center to declare its tactics and they
predict that if the Centerists throw their
vote against the government a dissolution
will be immediately pronounced. Al
though the clerical press is reserved
on tho suoject, su.gesttve allusions
constantly recur to the resolutions
adopted at recent Catholic congresses in
favor of loreign intervention at Rome.
The Centrist leaders are too sagacious to
insist upou a change of Prince BNinarck's
policy toward Italy as an immedinte con
dition of their support. The first terms
asKeil will oe eilucationai concessions.
When these shall have been grantedwhat- !
ever pressure the Centrists cau exercise
they will concentrate upon an effort to ,
effect a rupture in the existing compact. J

the emperor's intention of
abso- '
lutism. Throughout in
spech the I
st emphatic
emperor asserted in the mos
lang
ngur.ge his personal authority and his '
spon-Hbiiity to God. In the most re-1
m.-.rkable passage, whicn will be forever
memorable, he said: "I see iu the people
and the land entrusted to me by God a ,
talent which, s the bible sas, it is my j
dutv to increase. 1 mean with all my '
tren-th to so trade with my talent that
'I will be enabled to add many another
thereto. Those who nelp me I heartily
welcome, those who oppose me I dah to
pieces." The phrase evoked the iirelieat
comment. The semi-officinl press holds
that it is not to be regarded as
threatening moral opposition, but merely
physical aud violent resistance to the jaw.
Ifae Conservative Post hails the speech as
cnisonnut with the-snirit that hasalwav-
animated the kings of .frussn. Other
Conservative pipers commend it as the
promise of a vigorous ruie, leading
strong homo and foreign policy that will
keep Germany from the impotence of
J parliamentary governments l.ke that of
: France. The Liberals value the speech as
placing under a white light the
character of a monarch who
deems himself the soic arbitrator
of the nation's destinies, ignoring theYact
that the yanous Dirties iu the reichstag
wait to carry out their own ideas and not
his and who is foolish enough to dash tne
people to pieces ou the eve of the meeting
cf a parliament in which the government
will free a hostile majority. The imperial
threats find an echo among the ultra-conservatives.
The Centrist Westphalisch Merkur today
asserts that the chancellorship crisis is re
uewed and that the retirement of Bis
marck is imminent. The article discloses
the extravagant hopes of the clericals of
the early triumph of the Vatican.
The Socialists, Krouse and Rieckman,
have been sentenced to eighteen months
imprisonment at hard labor for commit
ting perjury. Another Socialist received
a sentence of one year at hard labor 'for a
similar offense.
Tomorrow will be the anniversary of
the death of Emperor William, and the
day will be observed at the imperial mau
soleum at Charlottenburg, in the presence
of the emperor and his family. The bod
ies of William and Augusta have been
placed in the new vault.
A CONSERVATIVE RETURNED.
London, March 8. The election to fill
the vacancy in the house of commons for
the Hanford division of Lincolnshire,
caused by the resignation of Mr. John
Compton Lawrence. Conservative, who
has accepted a judgehip, was held yester
day. It resulted in the return of Mr.
Crist, Conservative, who received 4,326
votes against 4.954 cast for his opponent,
Mr. Prestly, Gladstonian. At the last
preceding election Lawrence was returned
without opposition.
RIOTOUS STUDENTS AT PRAGUE.
PRAGUE, March 8. A number of stu
dents assembled in the street here and
marched to the houses of several old Czech
professors, where they acted in a riotous
manner. The military was finally called
upon to quell the disturbance. The soldiers
charged the students with fixed baj'ouets
and dispersed them. Ten of the rioters
were arrested.

PENDLETON'S ITJKERAL.
The Distinguished Dead Buried with Great
Ceremony.
Cincinnati, O., March 8. The funeral
service this morning over the remains of
the Hon. George II. Pendleton, minister
to Germany, were conducted In Christ
church by the Rev. Dr. Gibson and the
Rev. Dr. Forest. It was attended by the
family and friends only.
Meanwhile one of the most imposing
corteges ever seen in Cincinnati, formed
to escort the remains to Music hall. It
was headed by a detachment of police.then
the first regiment O. N. G., and then Gov
ernor Campbell, of Ohio, aud staff. Then
the hearoe surrounded by the pall bearers
and they surrounded iu a hollow square
by members of the old Woodward club.
After tho hearse were carriages contain
ing tho family and friends and followiug
them came Mayor Mosley, Governor Buck
ner, of Kentucky, and ex-President Hayes
aud ex-Governor Foraker. Notable iu the
pocession were all the political clubs of
both parties. The passage of the cortege
in the street was marked by respectful and
sorrowful interest of great numbers of
persons who had known the deceased in
life.
On arrival at Music hall that magnifi
cent building was found to be filled except
the space reserved for those in the proces
sion. As the casket was borne down the
middlo aisle to a catafalque in front of the
center of the stage the long line of pall
hearers separated and faced iuward, while
the audience arose and remained standing.
Meanwhile the great organ sounded a
funeral march. The hall had been beauti
fully draped with national emblems and
the space about the casket was decorated
with palms. The casket itself was beauti
fully covered with the national colors,
with calla lillies and with palms
bound with purple.
After prayer by the Rev. Dr. Forest and
an anthem by the choir of young ladies of
tha college ot music, led by Prof. Foley,
the oration was pronounced by the Hon.
Isaac M. Jordan. This was a carefully
prepared eulogy of the deceased, aud was
lull of eloquent praise of the many en
dearing qualities, as well as of the princi
ples and the work of the beloved dead.
After these services were ended, the cas
ket was placed in the hearse and followed
by the family and friends, was borne to
Spring Grove cemeterv. where final
interment was made. Fully 0,000 per
sons were in music hall, and many were
uuable to find room within.

Washington, March S. The senate com
mittee on privileges aud elections, after a
long session today, finally reached a de
cision iu the case of the contested Moutaua
senatorship, and by a party vote decided
to recommend to the senate that Powers
and dauuders, the Republican senators, be

The ground upon which the majority
of the committee will take its stand as a
basis for it-, recommendation, is that tho
Republican hou-e of Montana was the
legal house, as its members had the cer
tificates of electiou from the election
oilicers aud was ricoguized as the legal
house by the state seuate.
The report of the committe will not be
made for several days as it will be 11 long
document, discussing both the law aud
the facts in the case. Mr. Gray, it is ex
pected, will prepare the report of the mi
nority. The presentation of tho reports
will be signal for an extended debate aud
it may be several weeks before the seuate

stitute between Superintendent Meserre
and the Kansas employes. Upon his ar
rival last October tho new superintendent
found nearly all of the employes Kansana.

these and supplied their places with east
ern people. About two weeks ago the res
ignation of Andrew A. Atchison, principal,
was asked for. Mr. Atchison is a graduate
cf the university and was highly recom
mended hi Senators Plumb and IngalL
and the university faculty, besides several
other prominent Kansas men. The resig
nation was handed In this afternoon. The
reason given for such action was that
Aichisou was not the man wanted for re
organizing the work. Lawrence people
very much dissatisfied with the turn of
affairs.
