In the early sixties Jam- Hawkins was a Justice of the peace at Evansvllle. His first wife died, leaving several children. Later he married a Miss Stinson, of Evansville. One of his daughters by his fir-t wife removed to Cedar Hill. Tenn., to reSide, and the second one married without his consent and also went to Cedar Hill. Hawkins vowed h would massacre his son-in-law for marrying: the girl, and ha moved to Cedar Hill with his second wife. A few days later he carried out his threat and murdered his daughter's husband. He was jailed, and after spending a large fortune was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary at Nashville tor ten years. While in the jail at Cedar Hill his wife frequently visited him, and owing to his prominence he was allowed many liberties, and a close watch was not kept on him. He had been In jail fifteen months when a son was born to his wife, which he acknowledged as his own. and gave him the name of Fred Hawkins. A few weeks before the child was born Hawkins wanted his w ife to deed away her rights in his property, and on her retusal he cursed her and hoped she would die. He was in the penitentiary when the child was born, and he died before his term expired. Mrs. Hawkins died, as ne had wished, but before passing away gave the son to Mrs. Schoeny, who resided in Evansvllle at the time, and on Sept. VI, 1S77, when the son was eight weeks old, she adopted the boy. Mrs. Schoeny by her first husband, named McDonald, had a son, William, who knew the secret of the boy's life, and a few days ago, in a moment of anger, told him that his parents were dead. Young Schoeny questioned his mother, and she acknowledged the truth, and told all she knew of his history. Mr. Hawkins left four children by his lirst wife, who are half-brothers of young Schoeny. One is Mayor Hawkins, of Evansvllle; another is a minister in Lexington, Ky.; another resides at Cedar Hill, Tenn., and a half-sister resides in Henderson county, Kentucky. Young Schoeny will visit his new-found relatives before he returns. It Is reported that young Schoeny will come in for considerable property of the Hawkins estate at his twentyfirst birthday.

On application of assignee Foster, of the defunct Kent Rank,. W. W. Gleason, manager of the company, was to-day appointed receiver of the Warren Live Stock Company, -Ahose herds of cattle, sheep and horses range the hills of nine counties in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. The debts of the company are ?200,0"0, while the assets are $3r0,000, though a year ago the same assets were valued at $730,000. They include about 2,000 horses, 3,500 cattle, .70,000 sheep, 81,000 acres of land. Ex-Senator Warren, the president of the company, stated to a reporter that the last shipment of sheep r.etted only 21 cents a head over cost of shipment, and -where such sheep formerly brought over $3. The other extensive business operations In which he is engaged will not be seriously affected by the receiverrhip of the live stock company. The causes that led up to the receivership are stated by Mr. Warren to be the free-wool Fcare, the financial stringency that has Leld the whole country' in its folds the past year and the labor troubles of the past weeks. Up to and including the Warren Live stock Company ran on its ranges 12J.ooo sheep, the largest individual. flock of sheep in the Lnited States.

A CoiiJilnnt Header Viicertnlnt ' About LI Hung Chang Garment. Ex-Editor, in Philadelphia Inquirer. If the war between China and Japan goes on and I continue to read the newspapers my knowledge of Chinese politics will soon oo extensive, If not exact. Already I have amassed a great deal of misinformation in regard to Li Hung Chang's yellow vestment. In the press disnatch?a I find his denuded garment spoken of as the yellow jacket, .the yel'ow coat and the yellow riding coat. Resides the yellow jacket the Viceroy was Invested w'th the double-eyeJ peacock's feather, but whether the feather ent with tho coat I have not as yet been iblo to le:rn. Once before Li was deprivet! of the peacock's feather and the riding coat at one fell swoop and it may be that both have been again laid aside for that more sanguinary garment the red coat. Why the yellow jacket should be called a ridin'i coat is not very clear if. as is said to be the case, the Viceroy only wore It in the Emperor's presence. It nny be, however, that it is described as a ridinr coit because LI Hung Chang never wore it when he went out riding. Besides. ;he substitution of the red garment for the yellow one may after all be only a delicate compliment to Jret Hritain. For the Chinese commander-in-chief to be ordered to wear a red coat out of compliment to China's Eritish allies is more reasonable than the assumption of the London Standard that the true explanation of Li Hung Ch.ns's apparent disgrace is that it is an established Chinese mode of inciting to renewed efforts. The rebuke, it is claimed, merely signifies that the war is to be prosecuted In earnest and that the Viceroy will be held primarily answerable for the Issue. In support of th's theory it will be noted that while he is deprived of the yellow riding coat, and. perhaps, also of the double-eyed peacock's feather, the Emperor places all the military authorities under LI Hunt: Chang to protect the rights of the empire and orders that Japanese ships, wherever found, be captured and destroyed.

MAY SEIZE A POUT RUSSIA SAID TO HE PLANNING CO IP IV ETAT IX CO HE A. LI HunpT CIhuik'h Entlmnte of the Indemnity England Will Demand for the Sinking: of the Kow Shlntr. CHICAGO, Aug. 6. The Post's Washington "special says: "Russia Is planning a coup d'etat in Corea, and unless the Czar's plans nlscarry this will be one of the most sensational incidents of the war between China and Japan. According to news received here to-day the great northern bear intends to grab one of the most desirable ports of the kingdom and establish sovereignity over it. The story to this efftct is pronounced of a. most authentic character, and leaves no doubt of its trustworthiness in the minds of the recipients. The reason for Russia's move Is her desire for a southern port which shall be open to her commerce throughout the year. The only port Russia now has on her Siberian coast is closed during the rigors of wdnter.' AVOILD-IIE AVARHIOUS. Many American Anxloim to Serve In I he Japanese Army. WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. Several hundreds of letters containing tenders of service to the Japanese government in the present war with China have been received at the legation here. They come from nearly every part of the United States. One of the latest as from an ex-confederate at Greenville. Miss., offering to raise a battalion, and even a regiment of men, if desired, at that place and New Orleans. Another was from the Foreign Legion of Cleveland; a third came from an individual who was willirg to raise a company of picked sharpshooters, and a fourth was from a person who had some torpedo device he was willing to pr;rt with for a consideration. Such conn nlcations as the last ment'oned are turn, d over to the naval attache of the legation to do with as he u.-nis best. To the others the legation oflicials return polite declinations. It is a penal offense for Americans to serve either in the Chinese or Japanese sendee while the two nations are at a-ar, so the latter government cannot, under any circumstances, accept the offers. Slav Anxlnnn to Fight for Japan. CONNELLSVILLE. Pa., Aug. 6. Valentine Nowackl, the leader of the foreign forces of the coke strikers, proposes to make an offer to the Japanese government to furnish 5,000 soldiers for use in Its war against China. The Slavs have been trying for some time to find a place to go and leave the coke region. Nowackl will confer at once with the Japanese legation at Washington. He is a soldier, and, so It Is claimed, is every adult foreign coke striker in the region. Their marching and camping of the. last three months has made them enthusiastic to once more carry gun and sabre. Since war was declared between Chin and Japan Nowackl has had lieutenants in all parts of the region feeling the pulse of his countrymen in regard to offering their services to Japan In the way of five regiments. All seem anxious to go. NoAacki's lieutenants report that It would be an easy matter to recruit 5,0U0 Slavs in the coke region. Contraband of "War. LONDON, Aug. 6. In tne House of Commons to-daj- Sir Edwin Grey, in reply to a cuestlon from Mr. Gourley, a prominent ship owner, said that Japan had promised that no warlike operations should be undertaken against Shanghai and Its approaches on the condition that China does not obstruct the approaches to Shanghai. Japan contends that the powers have n right to interfere with neutral vessels except in the event pf an effective blockade, due notice of which should be given, or In the case of contraband of war. It would be dangerous for Great Britain to define by a general statement what is and what Is not contraband of war. Coal had been held not to be contraband of war as a rule. But it was possible in certain cases that it might become so. Great Dritaln must adhere to the doctrine thit it Is not for fighters to decide what is and what is not contraband of war regardless of the well-established rights of neutral people. England May Demand Jf.1,.00,00O. LONDON, Aug. 6. A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai, dated Aug. 6, says that the Viceroy, Li Hug Chang, expects the British government will claim compensation for the relatives of the victims of the sunn transport, Kow Siilng. and also for the owner of the cargo, who were under the protection 6f the British flag when the Kow Shing was sunk. Ll Hung Chang estimates the indemnity due to China from Japan ca account of the Kow Shing affair at $3,500,iaw. Whil2 the Japanese minister, accompanied by his suite and the Japan consul, were leaving 'lien-Tsin. on Aug. 3, they were attacked by a crowd of Chinese soldiers, who seized their baggage and threatened them with personal violence, but the Viceroy quickly sent a force of troops to the scene and suppressed the riot. JVetv CruUern for Japan. LONDON, Aug. 6. Two fast vessels left England on Saturday flying the Spanish flag. Another one will follow in a few days. These three vessels are partly fitted out as cruisers and will be transferred on the I igh seas to the Japanese government. Their equipment will be completed in Japan. All munitions of war now loading for both China and Japan clear under Spanish and Portuguese flags. Japanese O Ulcer Recalled. BERLIN, Aug. 7. Major Ando, director of the military school at Tokio, who has been in this city since February, studying the organization of the German military schools, has bten recal'ed to Japan by telegraph. Twelve other Japanese officers who came to Germany to inquire into the working of the military institutes have also been ordered to return. I SE.ATOIt MIRPIIY. The Junior Xetv York Senulor IVot n Speaker, but an Aetlve Worker. Washington Post. Senator Murphy, of New York, is one of the most interesting men in the Senate He Is a worker, not a talker. He has not made a six?ech sinc3 he toon his seat, lie never obtrudes himself ujon public attention. His seat is away over in the corner of the Senate chamber, at the furthest end of the rear row, woere he can almost touch the white and gold wall of the room with his hrnd. It i. indicative of the character of the man that every Senator on botii sides of the center aisle has found his way to Mr. Murphy's desk. There is no man in the Senate more popular than Mr. Murphy. Even the men who disagree with him in politics love to sit down with him, listen to his well-told stories, and catch something of the charming geniality and delightful good nature which make the atmosphere around him one of continual sunshine. His bonhomie has become proverbial. If the dignity of the Senate Is som times broken in upon by a burst of subdued laughter the offenders are almos: sure to be found in the vicinity of Mr. Murphy's desk, for the most grave and reverend of the entire eighty-five Senators cannot witnstand the good humor that is In the twinkle of his cie.ir blue eye or in the Infectious smile upon hl3 face. But there are times when Mr. Murphy's desk is sought not for the sake of his del'htiul companionship, but because the Democrats have learned to rely upon the advice which he can give them. They know that it Is Senator Murphy whose ability has mad3 th? New York Democratic organization suh a power in his State, and his judgment is followed with Delphic trust. A man of in iomitable courage. wlLa remarkable politick sigacity and with a wonderful faculty for controlling men. Senator Murphy has been far more of a factor In the great struggle than has ben generally supposed. Senator Hill, his colleague, has been more prominent. It Is true, but in the quiet counsels of the cloak room or In th2 conferences at night, when Republican schemes were to b frustrated or party harmony secured. Senator Murphy

has been the staff upon which his febowreniocrats have leaned. Mr. Murphy Is a man of wealth. He has the happy faculty of making money and the stid happier faculty of enjoying It. His business enterprises 3nd he has a multitude of them have all prospered. SoHa-

New York World. A prominent doctor who has performed a score of successful operations for the removal of that troublesome and inexplicable part of the human anatomy, the vermiform appendix, says that the general impression that appendicitis is caused by the presence in the appendix of a cherry stone, or a cu-rant seed, or a seed cf any kind is erroneous. "I have not found a seed In th appendix of a single one of my cases, ha said. "A small bit of digested matttr pets Into the little sac. If the neck of it is op n far enough to receive It. ll may remain there for years and cause no trouble, and then again it may brinu on appendicitis almost immediately. Wnere the patient l In good health. In four cases out of live the operation for removinc: tho appendix is successful. There is a great difference In the length of time taken bv surgeons to perform this, or, in fact, any delicate operation. There Is one surgeon In the city who has performed the operation in eighteen minutes, which includes the time from the moment the patient was brought in on the operating table until he was ready to h taken out. This Is half the time that it requires the majority of skillful surgeons to do It. Of course, speed it not everything. "The appendicitis fad. as the craze amon; rich people to have their vermiform appendices removed is called, still continues unabated, and there are few surKeons of prominence now who are not familiar with ths performance of the operation. A story U told of a doctor who is constantly ordeVlng the removal of the vermiform appendix for patients. He was called to see a gentleman one evening who had been rather seriously Injured. The gentleman, when he recognized the doctor, said: " 'Oh. it Is you; then I must have appendicitis!' "Doctors who have allowed the appendicitis fad to carry them away have performed the operation upon a great many feople whose vermiform appendices were n good condition, and in Fome cases patients having weak constitutions have died because of the needless slit In their abdomens. I am very glad to explode that story about the grape seeds and other seeds, especially as the grape season it Just coming on. People who have heard about appendicitis have given up the luxury of small fruit In fear of appendicitis, and some of tiie extremely sensitive ones have even bedi constantly worried lest some seed that they had swallowed In th past might give them this disease, which Is among the rarest of diseases, anyway." DA It 11 SOT LIVE IX CHICAGO. Strikers Make Life n Terror for the Lehman Fnrnlly. Special to New York World. The Lehman family are preparing to leave Chicago secretly In order to avoid persecution and possible Injury or death. Mrs. Lehman Is the woman who, during the strike, shot and killed Herbert Letters while he was beating her husband because Iehman insisted upon working. She was locked up for two weeks, but was finally discharged by the grand Jury. Husband and wife returned to their home, but the neighbors did not treat them kindly, and the friends of the dead striker and the strike sympathizers continued to abuse them and threaten violence. Lehman was warned that he would be killed if he tried to work. His wife was nervously prostrated, and refused to let htm leave her side. Their small savings were soon exhausted. Then they were forced to sell their furniture, and are now without a home. Mrs. Lehman said to-drty: "Some of the railroad men are only waiting for a chance to kill one or both of us. They have threatened us constantly. I am afraid to live in Chicago. We will leave the city In a few days. We don't know where to go, but must choose some place where no one knows us." PuKnuclonn Plngree. Major Handy, In New York Mall and Express. Keep your eye on Mayor Pingree, of Detroit. Ills capacity for mischief Is great, for he is honest, illogical, bull-headed and a born iconoclast. His Republicanism is only skin deep, although he has been elected more than once for the mayoralty as a Republican nominee, and each of the l.i two times by Increased majorities. The word corporation will throw him Into convulsions, and when he has one of those fits he Is dangerous alike to friend or foe. In his battles with corporations he has generally won, and not content with beating the life out of them, he would grind their bones to make his bread. His candidacy for Governor on the Republican ticket was the price that he exacted from the party In Michigan, and because the price was not paid, he bolts and threaten! to run independent. He wants to be Governor as a stepping stone to a presidential nomination, and, surrounded by those who minister to his vanity and his ambition, he will do anything now to keep before the public. If the Democrats offer to nominate him for Governor he will accept, and his record as a vote maker, plutocrat as he is himself, among the laboring people, will make him a dangerous candidate. Debs proposes now to turn the labor organizations Into a political party. Pingree went to Chicago and tried to bulldoze Pullman Into arbitration. I would not be surprised to see Pingree the Debsite candidate for President. Sale of the Tliotiannd iNlnmU. ' Montreal (Quebec) Witness. The government is rejoicing over the sal of the Thousand Islands, which, it appears, are going off cheap fcr cash. Over three hundred have been sold for the paltry sum of $40,000, or. say. $123 each. The Ontario government was not given much time to consider their purchase. The Dominion govr ernment has had Its own way. The "nigser In this woodpile' is yet to be discovered. It is not imaginable that the Dominion government would part with such a unique and magnificent park property merely to mo paying the Indians Interested JOo.imj or SI m).O00. Just what motive Is behind the determination of the government to sell th islands In spite of public opinion Is not evident. Those who remember all the Kykert and other timber land deils. and who look back over the thirteen years rcrl of this most corrupt government, wii! look for revelations in connection with this matter some day.
