TUESDAY. DECEMBER 26, 1893.
ONE OUT OF SIX HUNDRED. Of the eighty indiotmenta returned by the recent Federal grand jury, of which Capt. H. H. Tulbot was foreman, there was but one retnrned for obtaining a pension by frand. The man indicted, it was proven, had never been in the service although his application for a pension was based on the alleged fact thai he had served three years in the Thirty second Indiana. Notwithstanding this fact Hoke Smith and his stool pigeon Lochren suspended six hundred in this State at the last pay day in November. Why did not some of their spies report the names of these six hundred to the United States grand jury? Besides the one mentioned not another name was presented even for consideration. If, aa Mr. Cleveland says in his message, that "thousands of neighborhoods have their well known pension frauds," why is it that some of these thousands were not brought before the Federal grand jury Bnd exposed? Echo answers, why
SOME PERTINENT FACTS
Rev. Thomas L. Qulick, pastor of the Foreign Protestant Church at Makawas, on the island of Maui, and who is now in attendance at a meeting of the ForBoard of Missions in Washington, has addressed an open letter to President Cleveland. This letter was printed in the New York Tribune of last Saturday. Mr. Gulick writes earnestly and with full knowledge. He is especially indignant at the President's assumption that the Queen was a "constitutional" ruler, when in foot she had undertaken to overthrow the constitution, and at his uncalled-for reflections on the citizenB who refused to allow her to have her own way. What Mr. Gulick 6ays in hiB spirited letter is but cumulative evidence that Mr. Blount wofnlly misrepresented the true condition of affairs on the Islands and that President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham have made egregious asses of themselves in pinning their faith to Blount's lying report.
A FIGHT FOB B&EAD.
Mass meetings are being held in all the manuTacturing centers of New York, New Jersey and throughout New England to protest against the enactment of the Wilson bill into law. These meetings are called by the operatives who work in the larg.j manufacturing establishments, most of whom are Democrats but who never until now realized the danger to their own wages through a revision of the tariff on free trade lines. The "object lesson" which is now being imparted to them is one no doubt that will leave t» lasting impression,
when they go to the polls at
the next election they will emphasize their protests in a manner that will be felt. They realize now that the passage of the Wilson bill means either starvation wages or no wages at all. It is a fight for bread and butter.
THE wool industry is threatened by the Wilson bill. Statistics show more than 35,000,000 people are interested in the wool business, directly and indireotly. The wool produced is worth $65,000,000 and the sheep are wprth about 8185,000,000. Free wool will completely wipe out the industry of sheep growing and drive from the market an important food product, for mutton cannot be produced unless there is market for wool at fair prices. And Congressman Brookshire proposes to vole for this industry smashing bill!
AN amendment has been made to the urgent deficiency bill providing that pensions are a vested right and that neither Grover Cleveland, Hoke Smith or Wm. Lochren can suspend a pensioner without first furnishing the evidence that he is not entitled to receive it. The burden for the proof must rest on the government, and not on the pensioner, after the pension is once granted. With the aid of the Republicans there were enough Northern Democrats to pass this most righteous amendment.
THE rules for playing football are to be reformed. They are to be amended in such a way as to eliminate the demoralizing and brntal features of the game. The urgency of the game's reform does not come from the opponents but from the lovers of the sport, from those who wish to see it endure as a trial of strength and skill. Harvard,
Vale, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and the University Athletic Club have the good work in hand.
THE Cincinnati Tribune advises exQuoen Lil to sue Grover for breach of promise.

CHAPTER III, CONTINUED.
"We have it nil here," snid Greason, pointing' ton litter of objeets upon one of the bottom steps of the stairs. "A Po 1 watch, No. 1)7,103, by Uarraud, of London. Hold Albert ehuiu, very heavy and solid. Gold ring', with masonic device. Gold pin—bulldog's head, with rubies us eyes. Russian leather card-ease, with curds of Enoch J. Dreliber, of Cleveland, corresponding with the E. J. D. upon the linen. No purse, but loose money to the extent of seven pounds thirteen. Pocket edition of Boccaccio's 'Decameron,'with name of Joseph Stangerson upon the fly-leaf. Two letters—ono addressed to E. J. Drebber a.ud one to Joseph Stanprerson." "At what address?"' "American Exchange. Strand—to be left till called for. They are both from the Guion Steamship company, and refer to the sailing- of their boats from Liverpool. It is clear that this unfortunate man was about to return to New York." "Uave you made any inquiries as to this man Stangerson?" "I did it at once, sir," said Gregson. "I have had advertisements sent to all the newspapers, and one of my men has gone to the American Exchange., but he has not returned yet." "Have you sent to Cleveland?" "We telegraphed this morning." "How did you word your inquiries?" "Wo simply detailed the circumstances, and said that we should be glad of any information which could help us." "You did not ask for particulars on any point which appeared to you to be crucial?" "I asked about Stangerson." "Nothing ?lse? Is there no circumstance on which this whole ease appears to hinge? Will you not telegraph again?" "I have said all I have to say," said Gregson, in an offended voice.
Sherlock Holmes chuckled to himself, and appeared to be about to make some remark, when Lestrade, who had been in the front room while wo were holding this conversation in the hall, reappeared upon the scene, rubbing his hands in a pompous and self-sat isfied manner. "Mr. Gregson," he said, "I haTO just mado a discovery of the highest im-

portance, and one which would have been overlooked had I not made a careful examination of the walls."
The little man's eyes sparkled as he spoke, and he was evidently in a state of suppressed exultation at having scored a point against his colleague. "Come here," he said, bustling back into the room, the atmosphere of which felt cleaner since the removal of its ghastly inmate. "Now stand there!" lie struck a match on hii boot and held it up against the wall. "Look at that!" he said, triumphantly.
I have remarked that the paper had fallen away in these parts. In this particular corner of the room a large piece had peeled off, leaving a yellow square of coarse plastering. Across this bare space there was scrawled in blood-red letters a single word: "RACHE." "What do you think of that?" cried the detective, with the air of a showman exhibiting his show. "This was overlooked because it was in the darkest corner of the room, and no one thought of looking there. The murderer has written it with his or her own blood. See this smear where it has trickled down the wall! That disposes of the idea of suicide, anyhow. Why was that corner chosen to write it on? I will tell you. See that candle on the mantel piece. It was lit at the time, and If it was lit this corner would bo the brightest instead of the darkest portion of the wall." "And what does it mean, now that you have found it?" asked Gregson, in a deprecatory voice. "Mean? Why, it means that the writer was going to put the female name Rachel, but was disturbed before he or she had time to ^nish. You mark my words, when this case comes to be cleared up you will And that a woman named Rachel has something to do with it. It's all very well for you to laugh, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. You may be very smart and clever, but the old hound is best, when all is said and done." "I really beg your pardon!" said my companion, who had ruffled the little man's temper by bursting into an oxplosion of laughter. "You certainly have the credit of being the first of us to find this out, and, as you say, it bears every mark of having been written by the other participant in last Dight's mystery. I have not had time to examine this room yet, but with your permission I shall do so now."
As he spoke he whipped a tape measure and a large, round magnifying glass from his pocket. With these two instruments he trotted noiselessly about the room, sometimes stopping, occasionally kneeling, and once lying flat on his face. So engrossed was he with his occupation that he appeared to have forgotten our presence, for he chattered away to himself under his breath tho whole time, keeping up a running fire of exclamations, groans, whistles, and little cries suggestive of encouragement and hope. As I watched him I was irresistibly reminded of a pure-blooded, well-trained fox-hound as it dashes backward &nd forward through the covert, whining In its eagerness, until it comes across the lobLsfient.

more he continued his researches, measuring with the most exact care the distance between marks which were, entirely invisible to me. and occasionally applying his tape to the walls in an equally incomprehensible manner. In one place he gathered very carefully a little pile of gray dust from the floor and packed it away in an envelope. Finally he examined with his glass the words upon the wall, going over every letter of it with the most minute exactness. This done, ho appeared to be satisfied, for he replaced the tape and glass in his pocket. "They say that genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains," he remarked with a smile. "It's a very bad definition, but it does apply to detective work."
Gregson and Lestrade had watched the maneuvers of their amateur companion with considerable curiosity and some contempt. They evidently failed to appreciate the fact, which 1 had begun to realize, that Sherlock Holmes' smallest actions were all directed toward some definite and practical end. "What do you think of it?" they both asked. "It would be robbing you of the credit of the case if" 1 was to presume to help you," remarked my friend. "You are doing so well now that it would be a pity for anyone to interfere." There was a world of sarcasm in his voice, as he spoke. "If you will let me know how your investigations go," he continued, "I shall be happy to give you any help I can. In the meantime, I should like to rpeak to the constable who found tho body. Can you give me his name and address?"
Lestrade glanced at his note-book. "John Ranee," he said. "He is off duty now. You will find him at 40 Audley court, Kennington park gate."
Holmes took a note of the address. "Come along, doctor," ho said "we shall go and look him up. I'll tell you one thing which may help you in "the case," he continued, turning to the two detectives. "There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet high, was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height, wore coarse, squaretoed boots and smoked a Tricliinopoly cigar. He came hero with his victim in a four-wheeled cab, which was drawn by a horse with three old shoes and one new one on his off fore-leg. In all probability the murderer had a florid face, and the finger-nails of his right hand were remarkably long. These are only a few indications, but they may assist you."
Lestrade and Gregson glanced at each other with an incredulous smile. "If this man was murdered, how was it done?" asked tho former. "Poison." said Sherlock Holmes, curtly, and strode off. "One other thing, Lestrade," he added, turning round at the door 'Rache* is the German for 'revenge:' so don't lose your time looking for Miss Rachel."
With which Parthian shot he walked away, leaving the two rivals openmouthed behind him.
