TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1894.
No Democratic paper has suggested the name of Walter Q. Gresham for Judge of the Supreme Court in place of llornblower, the rejected. Greshara seems to be among the despised by all parties.
TIIE New York Press thinks that Minister Willis should have interpolated a provision in his contract with Lilioukalani that the chiefs of the Provisional Goverment were not to be broiled, baked or fricasseed.
IT is now said that Queen Lil will bring an action for damages against the United States, claiming a large sum of money. She will rely on Grover Cleveland, Walter Q. Gresham and James 11. Blount as her chief witnesses.
GEOKC.E IIAHVEY, a gentleman not unknown to the Republicans of the 8th District, having made speeches with Governor Porter in most of the counties in 1888, is a candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court. lie is at present Deputy City Comptroller of Indianapolis, and a gentleman of integrity and ability. His name would honor the State ticket.
MINISTER WILLIS is now under a social boycott at Honolulu. No one now attends his weekly receptions except the wives of naval officers in port. At first the gatherings were large and Mrs. Willis wrote to friends at home that she was delighted with Honolulu society. Now the cake and wine wait in vain for the coming of the representatives of the best people on the Islands. Mr. Willis may as well pack liis kit and come home.
UNDER the operation of the McKinley tariff the income of the government paid all expenses in the fiscal year 1802, and produced a surplus of 89,015,453.Gfi. Mr. Cleveland's election occurred in the fifth month of the succeeding fiscal year, with the result that the surplus for that year, 1803, fell to §2.331,(74. This year it disappeared wholly, ana, instead of a surplus, we have a deficiency which will probably amount to 875,000,000.
RICHARD A. BLACK, of Greenfield, was in the city 'yesterday on business and incidentally looking after his interests as a candidate, for Clerk of the Supreme Court on the Republican ticket. Mr. Black was a soldier in the USth Indiana, having enlisted when he was fifteen years old. He was elected Clerk of Hancock county in 1888 by a majority of 100, a county which usually goes 600 Democratic. 'This is certainly a fair test of his popularity at home.
REPRESENTATIVE BLACK, of Illinois,, lias the courage of his convictions. In a speech delivered last Tuesday in the re If I were certain that wanes were higher here I would seek to repeal these laics which make wages higher, and would let wages haw their natural placc all over the world." Whereat there was great applause on the Democratic side of the house, in which it is presumed Mr Brooksliire joined. Every workingman in America should read and heed this brutal declaration. General Black has revealed to them the full meaning and intent of the Wilson bill. YS
THE famous dispatch that Cleveland at first suppressed, and known as N 3, is boiled down by the New York Tribune as follows: "Will you be good to your enemies if we put you back' asked Willis. I will not, replied Lili uokalani on the contrary, I will cut their heads off and confiscate their property. Do you me|n it? said he. I do, said she. Bless my soul, said lie, I must have time think but how does your head set? Rather loosely, she. In that case, said he, make yourself at home aboard one of my warships, or here in the legation, at any hour of the day or night. Good afternoon, I'll see you later but, in meantime, there is a telephone in my bed room, and you can ring me whenever you feel like it."

THE Indianapolis News thus humorously'mentions the new mutual life insurance company which has its headquarters in this city:
One of the events of the past week was the organization, at the good old town of Crawfordsville, of the Supreme Tribe of Ben-Hur. No doubt the streets of this classic burg were crowded to-day with ,'pilgrims from the rich lands lying along Sugar Creek, hungry for news of this new tribe, and anxious to receive^ the grip and a guide-book to the inner mysteries. And while we hear that branches, or camps, of this noble order are already projected at Jerusalem, Stamboul, Benares and Massowah, we arc confident that in the villages of Balhinch, Pleasant Hill, Ladoga and New Richmond it will meet with an immediate success. While the secret work of the order must always be unknown to a curious and uninitiated public, we violate no confidence when we give currency to a rumor that only men of great endurance are fit candidates for the thirtysixth, or chariot-race degree.

CHAPTER VI, CONTINUED. 'All right, cabby,' said he. •I suppose ho thought wo had come to the hotel that he had mentioned, for he got out without another word and followed me down the garden. I had to walk beside him to keep him steady, for ho was still a little top-heavy. When we came to the door I opened it and led him into the front room. I

give you my word that, all the way, the father and daughter were walking in front of us. 'It's infernally 'dark,' said he, stamping about. 'We'll soon have a light,' I said, striking a match and putting it to a wax candle which I had brought with me. 'Now, Enoch Drebber,' I continued, turning to him, and holding the light to my own face: 'Who am I?' "He gazed at me with bleared, drunken eyes for moment, and then I saw a horror spring up in them andconvulse his whole features, which showed me that he knew me. He staggered back with a livid face, and I saw the perspiration break out upon his brow, while his teeth chattered. At the sight I leaned my back against the door and laughed loud and long. I had always known that vengeance would be sweet, but had never hoped for the contentment of soul which now possessed me. 'You dog!' I said 'I have hunted you from Salt Lake City to St. Petersburg, and you have always escaped me. Now at last your wanderings have come to an end, for either you or I shall never see to-morrow's sun rise.' He shrank still farther away as I spoke, and I could see on his face that he thought 1 was mad. So I was for the time. The pulses in my temples beat like sledge-hammers, and I believe I would have had a fit of some sort if the bloofi had not gushed from my nose and relieved me. 'What do you think of Lucy Ferrier now?' I cried, locking the door and shaking the key in his face. 'Punishment has been slow in coming, but it has overtaken you at last.' I saw his coward lips tremble as I spoke.
He would have begged for his life, but he knew well it was useless. 'Would you murder me?' he stammered. 'There is no murder,' I answered. 'Who talks of murdering a mad dog? What mercy had you upon my poor darling when you dragged her from her slaughtered father and bore her away to your accursed and shameless harem?' 'It was not I who killed her father, he cried. 'But it was you who broke her innocent heart,' I shrieked, thrusting the box before him. 'I.et the high God judge between us. Choose and eat. There Is death in one and life in the other. I shall take what you leave. Let us see if there is justice upon the earth, or if we are ruled by chance.' "He cowered away with wild erics and prayers for mercy, but I drew my knife and hold it to his throat until he had obeyed me. Then I swallowed the other, and we stood facing each other in silence for a minute or more, waiting to see which was to live and which was to die. Shall I ever forget the look which came over his face when the first warning -pangs told him that tho poison was In his system? I laughed as I saw it, arid held Lucy's marriage ring in front of his eyes. It was but for a moment, for the action of the alkaloid is rapid. A spasm of pain contorted his features he threw his hands out in front of him, staggered, and then, with a hoarse cry, fell heavily upon the floor. I turned him over with my foot and placed my hand upon his heart. There was no movement. He was dead! "The blood had been streaming from my noBe, but I had taken no notice of it. I don't know what it was that put it into my head to write upon the wall with it. Perhaps it was some mischievous idea of setting the police upon a wrong track, for 1 felt light-hearted and cheerful. I remembered a Ger-

man being found in New York with 'rache' written up above him, and it was argued at the time in the newspapers that the secret societies must have done it. I guessed that what puzzled the New Yorkers would puzzle the Londoners, so I dipped my finger in my own blood and printed it on a convenient place on the walL Then I walked down to my cab and found that there was nobody about, and that tho night was still very wild. I had driven some distance, when I put my hand into the pocket in which I usually kept Lucy's ring and found that it was not there. I was thunderstruck at this, for it was the only memento that I had of her. Thinking that I might have dropped it when I stooped over Drebber's body, I drove back, and, leaving my cab In aside street, 1 went
boldly" up to the liouso—fori wasreafly to dare anything rather than lose the ringl When 1 arrived thero I walked right into the arms of a police officer who was coming out, and only managed to disarm his suspicions by pretending to be hopelessly drunk. "That was how Enoch Drebber came to his end. All I had to do then was to do as much for Stangerson, and so pay oft John Ferrier's debt. I knew that he was staying at Ilalliday's private hotel, and I hung about all day, but he never came out. 1 fancy that he suspected something when Drebber failed to put in an appearance. He was ounnlng, was Stangerson, and always on his guard. If he thought he could keep me off by staying indoors he was very much mistaken. I soon found out which was the window of his bedroom, and early next morning I took advantage of some ladders which were lying in the lano behind the hotel and so made my way into his room in the gray of the dawn. I woke him up and told him that the hour had come when he was to answer for tho life he had taken so long before. I described Drebber's death to him, and 1 gave him the same choice of the poisoned pills. Instead of grasping at the chance of safety which that offered him, he sprang from his bed and flew at my throat. In self-defense I stabbed him to the heart. It would have been the same in any case, for Providence would never have allowed his guilty hand to pick out anything but the poison. 'I have little more to say, and it's as well, for I am about done up. I went on cabbing it for a day or so, intending to keep at it until I could save enough to take me back to America. I was standing in tho yard when a ragged youngster asked if there was a cabby thero called Jefferson Hope, and Baid that his cab was wanted by a gen-

tleman at 221B Baker street. I went round, suspecting no harm, and the next thing I knew, this young man here had the bracelets on my wrists, and as neatly shackled as ever I was In my life. That's the whole story, gentlemen. You may consider me to be a murderer but I hold that I am just as much an officer of justice as you are."
So thrilljng had the man's narrative been, and his manner was so impressive, that wo had sat silent and absorbed. Even the professional detectives, blase as they were in every detail of crime, appeared to be keenly interested in tho man's story. When ho finished we sat for some minutes in a stillness which was only broken by the scratching of Lestrade's pencil as he gave the finishing touches to his shorthand account. "There is only one point on which 1 should like a little more information," Sherlock Holmes said at last. "Who was your accomplice who came for the ring which I advertised?"
The prisoner winked at my friend jocosely. "I can tell my own secrets," he said, "but I don't get other people into trouble. 1 saw your advertisement, and I thought it might be a plant, or it might be the ring I wanted. My friend volunteered to go and see. I think you'll own he did it smartly." "Not a doubt of that," said Holmes, heartily. "Now, gentlemen," the inspector remarked gravely, "the forms of the law must be complied with. On Thursday the prisoner wiH be brought before the magistrates, ana your attendance will be required. Until then I will be responsible for him." He rang the bell as he spoke, anl Jefferson Hope was led off by a couple of warders, while my friend and I made our way out of the station and took a cab back to Baker street.

What Will Do Itl
Medical writers claim that the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever done and both physicians and patients free ly concede this fact. Our druggists keep it.

ABOUT a year ago I took a violent attack of la grippe. I coughed day and night for about six weeks my wife then suggested that I try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. At first I could see no difference, but still kept taking it, and soon found that it was what I needed. If I got no relief from one dose I took another, and it was only a few days until I was free from the cough. I think people in general ought to know the value of this remedy, and I take pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I have received from it.

"DUKINO the epidemic of la grippe Chamberlain's Cough Remedy took the lead here and was much better liked than other cough medicine." H. M. BANGS, druggist, Chatsworth, 111. The grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. This Remedy is prompt and effectual and will prevent any tendency of the disease toward pneumonia.
