BLACK BAND CRIMES

SKSSATIOXAL CRIMINAL CASH JIST fOMPI.RTED IX IlKIXillM. Series of Murders and Robberies Traced to n Giuik of Thirteen The Cholera Coming: "West. BRUSSELS. Aug. 4. The most sensational criminal trial In the annals of Belgium was concluded to-day at Mons by the convlct'or of all but one of the accused. In August last the cottage occupied by an old man named Hendricks and his young wife, who were popularly supposed to have money hidden in their house, was set on fire and destroyed. The charred remains of the couple were found in the ruins, and it was at first thought that they had been burned to death. Facts came to the knowledge of the police, however, which led to an Investigation, when It was found that Hendricks and his wife had been murdered. L -h had terrible wounds. In their heads and necks, inflicted with some sharp instrument that had nearly decapitated them. The cottage had been set on fire In order to destroy, if possible, all evidence of the murders. The police began to search for the guilty persons. It being evident that several had been concerned In the crimes. It. was learned that a one-armed man named Van Ham had been seen in the vicinity of the cottage on the night of the murder. Van Ham was arrested at Tournal, and at once made a full confession. He described how the deed had been committed and ascribed the first idea of the crime to a man named Dumeaunier. The revelations of Van Ham served as the basis for further Inquiry, and the police gradually traced the existence of an organized gang of malefactors known as the "Black Band of the Center," of which Van Ham was the leader." This band has for years been carrying on a system of robbery and pillage, breaking Into railway cars, pilfering from country cottages and farm-houses, and In one case robbing a church. No fewer than sixty railway robberies were traced to members of the band. The headauarters of the band was at a lonely country inn kept by a woman named Josephine Godeau, who, together with another woman, were soon in custody. The police found the Inn handsomely furnished and full of rich stuffs and valuables. Altogether thirteen members of the band were arrested and placed on trial at a special sitting of the Hainan Assize Court. Two hundred witnesses were called by the prosecution, and the evidence against the accused was overwhelming. Van Ham, Dumeaunier and Delhoux were found guilty of the murder of Hendricks and his .wife, and they were sentenced to death. The other members of the band were convicted of burglary and other crimes, and were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. A man named Quevls was condemned to twenty years' imprisonment at hard labor. Two others, Rullieu and Lacroix, were conlemned to fifteen years' imprisonment, while the remainder of the prisoners were given shorter terms. One of tho women. Madame Smoos, was acquitted. The trial excited the greatest interest, and the crowds seeking admission to the court room were so large and so unruly In their eagerness to get Inside that large detachments of .police were assigned to keep order. Van Ham has already served several terms of Imprisonment. On one occasion, while In prison, he feigned insanity to secure his removal to a lunatic asylum. He was successful, and shortly afte he was transferred to the asylum he made his escape. The police found no trace of him until after the Hendricks murder. THE CHOLERA SCOURGE.

There is In Ribe. Deni mark, one auinor, nowever, wno is paia much better for his work than Zola. That man thA vntrahle Itishon of Rlh Mr. Balsley. the author of "Luther's Little Catechism, wdth Eplanatory Remarks." Up to dale the little catechism has appeared

in l) editions, about the same number which "Nana" has reached. But while every edition of "Nana" only consists of one thousand' copies. that of the catechism amounts to ten thousand, and. although it contains only seventy-two small pages, half of which are crowded with quotations, the Iilshop of Ribe has derived as large a revenue from Luther's little catechism as Zola has from his own big "Nana," which numbers nearly five hundred pages, closely printed. An exact calculation will show that one single verse of the Lord's prayer, "Give us this day our daily bread," accompanied by the explanatory remark. "Pray for that only which you need!" is worth $1,000 to the Bishop. OAK 11AKI:0U JiUUNLNG.

fc'niall Ohio Town Being: Destroyed at an Early Hour. OAK HARBOR, O.. Aug. 5.-1:20 a. m.Fire, which started shortlj' after midnight in Mylander's stave factory, threatens to destroy the town. Up to this hour it has destroyed the stave factory, the Portage House, the largest hotel in town, a carriage shop, three residences and a number of smaller buildings.

From New York Sun's Review. The author of these memoirs was an eyewitness of the parting of Napoleon and Josephine. In his eyes the first wife of the Emperor had an irreslstable attraction. He recognizes hat she was not a woman of regular beauty, but she had the grace which is more beautiful that beauty's self; she had the soft abandon, the supple and elegant movements and the graceful negligence of Creole women. Her temper was always even. Good-natured and kind, she was affable and Indulgent to every one. Meneval would not pretend that she was a woman of superior intelligence, but be puiuia uui ilia i. uri cauijuc (juiihiicm aiiu 1 great familiarity with society and court life j taught her at a moment's notice what she ought to say and do. There was a charm and a delicacy about her way of obliging people or thanking them for a service which won all hearts. The decree of divorce pronounced by the Senate was dated Dec. 18, 1809. After the ceremony that unloosened the bonds of a union which, had Josephine been fruitful, would bave lasted as long as her life, she who, till then., had been Empress went down to her apartment.' The Emieror reentered his study, sad and silent, and let himself fall on a sofa, where he usually sat, in a state of complete depression. He remained there some moments, his head leaning on his hands, and when he rose his face was distorted. Orders for his departure to Trianon had been given in advance. When it was announced that the carriages were ready. Napoleon took his hat and said, "Meneval, come with me." The secretary followed him up the little winding staircase which Jed from his study to the Empress's apartment. Josephine was alone, and wrapped in the most palnfu! reflections. The noise made by the entrance of her late husband and his companion attracted her attention, and, springing up, she threw herself, sobbing, on the Emperor's neck. He pressed her to his breast, kissing her over and over again, but In the excess of her emotion she had fainted. Meneval ran to the bell and summoned help. The Emperor, wishing to avoid the sight of grief, which he was unable to assuage, placed the Empress in hLs secretary's arms as soon as he saw she was coming back to conciousness, ordered him not to leave her and withdrew rapl.lly to the drawing rooms, at the door of which his carriage was waiting for him. After the Emperor's disappearance the Empress's women entered, laid her on a couch and did what was necessary for her recovery. In her confusion she took Meneval's hand and besought him to tell the Emperor not to forget her. and to assure him of an affection which would survive every event. She made the secretary promise to send her news of Napoleon on his arrival at Trianon, and to see that the Emperor wrote to her. It reemed to be difficult for her to allow him to depart, as if his departure would brenk the last tie by which she was connected with her former husband. STOIT AM) Till:." PEOPLE. atnre IteKiilateM Fntnc and Thini.esx with an Iron Rule. Health. Fatness and slimness come by nature, and are. therefore, often impossible to remedy; lor it ! no use. and it is utter lolly besides, to tight against one's constitution. You can affe.-t that constitution to a cartain extent (which won't please either the loo fat or th too slim foiKs) you can only do harm, defeat the very object you try i or, ran. wv-rst of :11. throw yourself Into ill health. It stands to reason that if a man or woman comes of a big-lor.ed, stoutly built stock he or she may reasonably be expected to Inherit the tendency 'to corpulence. Conversely, suppose a man is born of a family stock notable for its thinness and slimnes?, it may be, and generally is, worse than folly for him to expert, by any prorvss of feeding or otherwise, to become a stout and well-favored person. So let us realize this big fact at once that we have to fate tlv question of our constitution first of all. and, r.s sensible people, to see and discover whether our fatness or our thinness is part and parcel of our natural build. Rest assured if we are fat by nature it is useless to attempt by diet or otherwise to reduce our bodies to very siim proportions. .Many a man and woman han paid theVenalty of such rashness by inducing disease through their outrageous effort to thwart nature. Let us Le sensible, then, about this "fatness" question and see clearly where, as rational bfings, we stand. It is possible to keep even a fat body within its own limits by reasonable care In diet, just as It may be possible to fatten up a thin person (within limits again) by a regulated course of.food. Whatever you may do in the way of thinning or fattening you can never safely cr (what is more to the purpose) permanently attain your aim by the use of drugs. If there is any cure for fatness at all be sure it is to be found in the food, and in the food alone. Proper Punctuality. Xew York Times. "Oh. dear." sighed a woman, opening her mail, "this letter must be answered on the instant. It's not so dreadfully important," she went on to explain, "but U's from an Englishwoman, ana Englishwomen are so ortensively punctual, l I may be allowed the expression, that one does not dare be otherwise." It undoubtedly is a trial, and often a surprise to use "lax American women, that we are expected to reply at once to our notes. The Inelegance of beginning a note with an apology for not having written is so very common that at the private schools it Is consHered necessary to point out for reform. An Englishwoman would as soon think she must be toll not to eat with her knife as to need a caution of this sort. A note of any sort is a saciel obligation to be at once discharged. A system in one's correspondence would much reduce its burden. Her want of training in this res.ect is one of the handicaps, by the way, which '.he woman who begins a business career wunout it finds.

Mr. Debs says that he will not, under any circumstances, be a candidate for any office from constable to President. He declares his one public ambition is the success of the American Railway Union organization. The Wabash and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern switchmen to-night unanimously decided that the American Railway Union strike was off. The stockyards men will take similar action when they know that a majority of the railroad men will declare it off. The declarations are mere formalities, as all the switchmen have been at work for some time. The Pullman shop3 dosed to-day for the Saturday half-holiday. About six hundred men were at work in the repair shops at that hour. It is expected that 750 men will be on I. and Monday. The strikers seemed uiscouraged to-day, although their leaders would not admit that the resumption of work has affected their cause. When the men left the shops a mob of one hundred strikers collected about the works, and after following the workmen with hoots and howls, assaulted a carver named John Swanson. Before rescued by the police, Swanson was terribly beaten, but will probably recover. Eight companies of infantry, one troop of cavalry and one battery of artillery of the Second Regiment, Illinois National Guard, were sent home from the stockyards to-day on the recommendation of Mayor Hopkins, and it is exp?cted the remainder of the First Regiment, at Pullman, will be called in Monday morning, unless serious trouble occur on Sunday. Four companies of the Second Regiment are still at the stock yards and three of the first are at Pullman. As the result of a conference between the Mayor and other city officials with A. B. Heims, railroad member of the A. Ill U., the authorities have arrested W. P. Hajl on a charge of inciting riot. It is claimed that he led the rioting mob July 6 at Thirty-first street and the Rock Island tracks which overturned and burned cars and destroyed all property that fell In their path. The Mayor' said to-day: "Helms, who came to the office with the Information, Is an A. R. U. man, and, I understand, waj sent by that organization to cause the arrest of one of the men who were such a factor In the loss of their strike, as they claim. We took advantage of the informtlon and caused the arrest of Hall." - LOXG STRIKE TO EXD. Beech Creek Coal Miners In Penti8Ivnnla Ready to Go to Work. PHILLIPSBURG, Pa., Aug. 4.-A conference of Beech Creek coal region operators and miners was held In this place today. The conference agreed to certain minor details in view of the possible return of the miners to work at the rate of 40 cents a ton. In the afternoon a convention of miners, representatives from all the mines Idle, met and voted to return to work at the 40-cent rate, provided all the strikers be given places and that the minor concessions granted by Beech Creek operators be granted by all operators. It Is certain that the long strike will be declared off not later than Monday. The opiosition to Its termination comes almost entirely from miners who have received the 43-cent rate. Spring: Valley Miners Holding Out. SPRING VALLEY", 111., Aug. 4.-Xot-wlthstandlng the Streator, Coal City and Kingley miners have broken ranks and voted to resume work at the Columbus scale, the miners at the Spring Valley and LaSalle end of the district will continue the strike with as much vigor as ever.

EW MUX AT OMAHA. Six Hundred onuniou Ilntchers KiimIiimI in front Lincoln, el. OMAHA f Xeb., Aug. 4. All Is quiet among the South Omaha strikers to-night as far as riotous demonstrations are concerned, but several largely attended meetings are in progress. When the men ar rived from Lincoln to take strikers' places they were rushed into quarters provided in the packing house and no trouble occurred. Some trouble is anticipated Monday, however. Word has been received that the South Omaha packing houses had recruited a large force of men at Lincoln to take tho places of the striking butchers and laborers, ajid that they would leave Lincoln on a special train this afternoon. The South Omaha strikers were expected to make trouble, but desisted. Th? executive committee of the strikers held a meeting to-day and the members gave it out that word had been received from St. Louis and Kansas City that the men there were ready to go out at a moment's notice. This news came from the committee sent by the Omaha m?n to report on the situation in those cities. Six hundred men were taken into the Federated Union of Packinghouse Employes. Chairman Martin, of the strikers' committee, was removed because he is not employed now in a packing house, but is running a saloon, the strikers claiming that it was injuring their cause to have a saloon keeper at the head of the committee. Strikers Itonounee President Debs. CINCINNATI. Aug. 4. Committees representing the strikers called on the o!Ticia'.s of different railroads to-day asking for reinstatement. The movement is the outgrowth of recent meetings of the American Railway Union and others who struck. The men admitted their mistake in the sympathetic Ftnke, and were disposed to dror Debs and other leaders. President Ingalls promised a reply on Monday for the Big Four system. None of thi other roads gave any assurance to the committee. There are about l.rj experienced railroaders idle here on account of Uebs's recent orders. Ricks Investigation Delayed. CLEVELAND. Aug. 4. The Department of Justice has deferred the Ricks investigation temporarily, owing to the fact that Judge Ricks is now absent from the city on a vacation.

WOMAV AMI THE WASH STAND. II. C. Bunner, In ruck. If you take up any society novel that pretends to portray American life and manners, and open It at me place where Percy Algeron Fitzdutch goes to call on Miss Gladys Ileapstyle to propose marriage, or elopement, or suicide, or to do nothing at all which would be more In accordance with the traditions of the society novel you will find that it goes something like this: "Percy had hardly touched the Heapstyles doorbell when he was admitted by the old butler, whose dignified visage brightened at the sight of the young man, whom he ushered at once into the sunny morning r6om. " 'Why, how late you are!' cried Gladys, half rising from her d?lightful nest among the multitudinous pillows of the great divan. Her mandolin lay at her feet by the side of the latest novel; and as she spoke she coquettlshly rearranged a bunch of flowers In a crystal vase." Or perhaps this is the exact formula: "A discreet knock upon the rosewood door was all that was necessary to gain admittance for our hero to the dainty boudoln whare Gladys Heapstyle lay back languidly in her luxurious fauteull." That Is about the way it reads, isn't it? Yes? Well, it isn't so. It never happened that way. Not in this country. Not on your mother-in-law. Not if Gladys Heapstyle was an American girl. But here Is what did happen. Whether It was a dignified butler or a neat and attractive housemaid who admitted Percy Algernon, he or he shot that young man straight Into the parlor and scuttled off upstairs one flight, two flights, three flights, as the case might be to Mi?s Gladys's bedroom, and routed her out of that sacred asylum to come downstairs and see the man she had been expecting for an hour and a half. And the moment his call was over Gladys gathered up her front draperies and ran upstairs as hard as if she were sprinting for a hundred-dollar prize, and she didn't feel really comfortable or like herself until she got her rocking chair hitched up close to the washstand. For, to the true American woman, there is no room in the world like her bedroom; and life without a bed, a washstand, a pitcher and, a basin, a soap dish and a slop jar is a barren blank. You may think that Gladys is happy when you see her sweeping through the magnificent ballroom between ranks of bowing admirers, with the chastened glory of the electric lights Illuminating her sunny hair and her goddesslike brow. And, In a way, perhaps, she Is happy. Put it Is not the genuine solid happiness of sitting in a room with a bed and a washstand in It, where she can feel the near presence of the soap dish and the tooth-brush mug, and the box of combings under the bureau. It Is only In such sacred surroundings as these that the true American woman can be truly happy. The bedroom disease pervartes all classes of American womanhood. It knows no restrictions of wealth, fashion, locality or srel?-l position. As far or tne passion for bedroom life is concerned, the millionaire's wife ani the spouse of the humblest shanty dweller stand, or rather sit, on exactly the same ba.?is. He it ever so humble, there's no place like the bedroom. Gladys is a child of wealth. 8he lives in a sumptuous New York home. The rooms on the lower floor are many and comfortable. There are sunny rooms and shady rooms. There are warm rooms and cool rooms, larpe rooms and small rooms. Put if thre were a wildernas of apartments, each one more beautiful than the other. GJadys would fly them all to mew herself vu in her bedroom, happy in her proximity to her washstand as a devotee who drnws near the altar with the mystic longing of devotion. Her occupation matters nothing. To her bedroom she takes her renditi, her sewing, her fancy work; it is there that she practices upon her mandolin or her zither, and if she could carry her p!ano under her arm she would have it up there. I do ret know how the bedroom disease first g.n Its insidious grio on the women of our country. I only know that it has obtained such a hold upon their svstem that the: are, in probability, beyond any mortal cure. There may be regulations in heaven to keep tnose hle?sed angels in the streets, or in the Jasper vestibules, or the crystal front parlors, or isome place where slop Jars and washstands are not, but never on this poor mortal earth will you zet the American woman to give un her hrbit of festering in her bo Iroom. during every minute of her spare time. There was one man who one attemitel to buck again: the b?drooni habit. He was a very r:ch man who had ma le vast fortune in the West, and he hid a wife of whom he v.as very fo.n l. She had injured her heilth by sitting d.iy after diy In the miasmatic atmosphere of her tooth brush and combings, and he wanted to try to rec:a:m h?r, to mak? a h?althy, happy woman of her. S) he built a hou.e that might have been mailed a pi lice, if any on of those wretched old European palaces were one-hundre i;h part a god as the kind of house an Americin buiids when he sets out to plea?? his wife.

Ills courage was dauntless; chilled eteel was mush In comparison with his nerve. This was the m:rn who had undertaken to cure his wife of the bedroom habit. The boudoir that he offered her as a substitute for her bedroom was a marvel of nineteenth century art. In order to pet it Just exactly right, he sent for a boudoir expert from Paris, and gave him full, unlimited swing. When the expert got through that boudoir had cost a quaritr of a million dollars, and it had not its or;ual upon earth. There was no resource of art or of textile manufacture that had not ben exhausted to make it beautiful. Silks ant satins were the cheapest of Its drnperks. Couches, sofas, divans, every possible Invention in the way of furniture wherein a woman could lie. or lounpe. or sit, or sprawl was there to tempt the indolence of the gentle mistress of the place. I'erfume fountains played in every known key of odor. IJirds of sweetest song caroled from golden cases, and were trained to shut up when so directed. No appurtenance of luxurv, comfort or elegance was wanting In thl magic chamber. He made his wife promise that she would give up her commonplace bed chamWr and pass her leisure hours in this halcyon atode. and he had chromatic slides llxed in the window sashes, so that by touching the proper button fhe could have any illumination she wanted tj sui; whatever complexion she happened to have on. Sh was a true woman and she kr.pt her promise. Day by dav she faded away, anl her wan, white check grew pale and ralr. Day by day. hour after hour she sat In her martyrdom, dreiming of h-r wnsiistand. dreaming of her toothbrush, dreaming of her soop-dish, dreaming of lh dear, dear tin slop-jar. Her hnslnnd noted with anxletv her falling health, but his coarse masucline perceptions did not enable him to guess the c:use. At last there came a time when he was obliged to leave her for a fortnlcht. and with streaming eyes he confided her to the oM nurse who had car l for her in her infancy. No sooner was he gone than thl her dc woman resolved upon a radical and darl-ig course of actlcn.
