vestors in the East who have bought these notes demand payment at once it will cause trouble. Gillett shipped 75.000 head of cattle to Kansas City this year and as many last year. He often made a profit of $5 a head, but his expenses were enormous. The creditors of Gillett spent Sunday struggling over the wreck which he left behind him. It has developed into a cose of every man for himself, and the result is a worse snarl than ever. Each commission firm who holds Gillett paper seems to devote most of his time in checkmating the moves the others make. In the meantime losses are piling on losses. There is no one to feed or water the thousands of cattle at the Gillett farm here, and while the creditors of the failed magnate are quibbling among themselves the cattle in the stalls are dying for the want of water and feed. The employes of the ranch have deserted their posts. On a side track are twenty carloads more of Herefords and Shorthorns suffering In the storm, with i<> one to care for them. They had arrived on the date of the failure. It Is stated to-day that Oillfctt has certainly mortgaged and remortgaged the same cattle to different parties. In at least one cast*, it was stated to-day. he rebranded Cattle lie had sold to one man and mortgaged them to a commission house, or, as seems probable, to two or three commission houses, for a heavy sum, and then had the herd divided and driven quietly off his farm 10 another man's place, where he arranged to have It kept for the winter. It. is still Impossible to accurately estimate Giliett’s liabilities. Gillett Halil for Spain. WOODBINE, Kan., Nov. 27.-Grant C. Gillett, the cattle king, so-called, whose failure last week with liabilities estimated et over (1.500,0U0 startled the .ive f-to k trade, Is .believed to be on his way to Spain. The following telegram is said to have been received in tills city to-day by a brother-in-law of the missing plunger: “New* York. Nov. 27.—1 will leave to-day by steamer for Spain. Cable me at Cadiz. How are my wife and baby? “G. C. GILLETT.” At the home of the departed Gillett no one would vouchsafe any information as to his whereabouts, and the receipt of the alleged telegram was kept a secret. It was generally believed that Gillett had first gone to Texas* and from there to old Mexico, a traveling* man claiming to have seen him at Chihuahua. Gillett is said to have telegraphed friends here on last Friday from Texas that he was then en route to old Mexico, and by some this is believed to have been a “blind” to give him time to get to New York and set sail. In an interview today J. H. Holllnger, president of the Gillespie Commission Company, whose attachment caused Gillett's collapse, is quoted as saying that Gillett hud planned for his departure for several days previous thereto, and that ha hud taken S2O,GJU in cash with,, him. Gillett Said to Be in Mexico. FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 27.—Grant C. Gillett, the Kansas cattle king, who recently failed for a million and suddenly disappeared, is well known in Texas.

After leaving Kansas Gillette came to Texas and on Nov. 22 registered at the Worth Hotel, in this city. He was seen by local cattlemen. He lett the same day and is thought to have gone to old Mexico.

Lucien Young, of the Hist, who some days ago examined the wreck of too sunken cruiser Reina Mercedes and found her with about 110 feet hanging over the channel bunk, made another exiunination yesterday. He found that the wreck had moved slightly and is now in an extremely dangerous position. A southwest wind of any strength would send the vessel into the channel leading to Santiago harbor anil completely block it. Parties who have gone on board felt the wreck moving. If work is not started soon the vessel will probably be lost. At the present moment only a comparatively small amount of effort would close tile valves and pump out her hull.

NO FAVOR FOR PICQUART PREMIER DUPLY WANTS COURTMARITAL PUSHED AT ONCE* - -4 - Demonstration Expected in Paris Tills Week to Stave Off the Trial—Aa Artist’s Wife Arrested. PARIS, Nov. 27.— I There was a renewal today of yesterday’s conference between the premier. M. Dupuy, Minister for War M. De Freycinet and the minister of justice, M. Lebret, and members of both chambers regarding the request of the committee of the Leftist senators for a postponement until after the decision of the Court of Cassation in the Dreyfus affair of the trial of Colonel Picquart, charged with revealing important military documents to his counsel. Asa result of the conferences it is understood that M. Dupuy, who had promised to refer the request to the Cabinet and to give a reply to-day, will decline to postpone the Picquart court-martial. His decision will bo announced in the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow. This afternoon M. Dupuy had several conversations with M. De Freycinet at the offices of the minister of war. He is supposed to have gone there to inspect certain documents only obtainable at the war office In connection with the Dreyfus case. General Zurlinden, military governor of Paris, in an official note to-day, repudiates the Insinuation that his decision to send Colonel Picquart for trial by court-martial wa prompted or suggested by President Faure. Le Soir asserts that the Picquart dossier contains “new and unanswerable proofs of the guilt of Dreyfus.” Le Jour, in a sensational article, declares that the secret dossier constitutes the only real proof of Dreyfus's guilt. It gives details In a circumstantial manner as to the documents in the package and promises further revelations. The Picquart excitement is growing in intensity. The signatures to the public protest against General Zurlinden’s order are now well up in the thousands and include many of the most distinguished names in Prance. Madame Mochelet telegraphed asking to have her name added to the list, “since my husband would have wished it.” A public meeting will bo held to-morrow night under the auspices of many members of the Institute to protest against the courtmartial. Despite the government's decision that It cannot interfere with General Zurlinden’s right to fix tho date of tho courtmartial, there are strong hopes of some now turn in uffairs that, will result in postponing the Picquart military trial until the Court of Cassation has given judgment in the Dreyfus revision proceedings. A retired officer now asserts that the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry was an old and intimate friend of Comte Esterhazy. A duel was fought to-day between Maximo Dreyfus and M. Lepic, a journalist. Neither was injured. Esterhazy Sails for America. ANTWERP, Nov. 27,-The Droits De L’Horn mo asserts that Major Comte Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy has .sailed for tho United States.

A HIT ST BIANCHINT POISONED. Pretty Wife Arrested fit Paris Charged with the Crime. PARIS, Nov. 27.—Madame Bianchlnl was arrested to-day on charge of attempting to poison her husband, Charles Ilianchini, the famous and popular scenic artist. About six months ago he was attacked suddenly by a ipysterious malady, which the physicians diagnosed differently. One of them declared his belief that the symptoms were those of atropine poisoning, and thereupon Bianchini’s friends, MM. Carre and Gailhard, directors of the Grand Opera, took it on themselves to carry him to a distant village, away from his wife. There he recovered rapidly. The story spread, and Mme. Bianchini was compelled to take some action. This led to her arrest, the police finding bottles of atropine in her house. She Is young and pretty, and treats the case quite flippantly. A divorce suit was pending between the couple. Permit* to Travel In Asia Minor. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.—The energetic action of Oscar S. Straus, the United States minister, has obtained a concession which the united powers had been for eighteen months vainly endeavoring to secure, namely, the granting of traveling permits to foreigners in the interior of Asia Minor. The immediate incentive to the action of air. Straus was the Porte’s refusal of permits to American missionaries. Brlti*li 1 nlon Jack Not Hun I p. SHANGHAI, Nov. 27.—The report received here yesterday that the British admiral had hoisted the union jack over Ting-Hui, capital of the Island of Chusan, and over several other Islands in the Chusan archipelago is not credited. The British consulate has had no confirmation of the rumor, which probably originated In mistaking the survey marks of the survey ship Water Witch for the union jack. Mnd Mullnli Cro**en the Swat.

Dr. Lyman Abbott, from the pulpit to-day announced bis intention to resign the pastorate of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, which he has filled for ten years. In his letter Dr. Abbott said: “Perhaps, so reluctant am I to sever my 1 astoral connections with Plymouth Church, I should still have hesitated and delayed had not a warning been given me this fall which scarcely needed the doctor’s interpretation. He tells me frankly that I am using up vital energies faster than nature supplies them. He imperatively declares that I must prepare for discontinuance of the attempt, though made with all possible reserve and every aid, to fulfill the duties of my two offices, either one of which would be quite sufficient to tax my fullest and best energies, and he leaves me no option but to withdraw from the pastoral work and devote myself to the equally responsible but quieter work of the pen. “I have, therefore, no choice but to resign to your bands the office with which for these ten years you have honored me. It will not be possible for me to continue your pastor beyond the present season. 1 can never resume the labors of the pastorate.” IN COL GUNDER’S CAMP

The coal industry in Indiana is at full capacity for the number of available miners, and there Is some talk of advancing the selling price at the mines.

One of the noticeable facts about the increased demand is that inquiries are coming from the natural gas field, which has not been buying coal for some years. OH Near Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 27.—’There has been a good deal of leasing of land for oil wells west of the city in the past week, and it is thought the experts who have been investigating the field have reported to those who sent them here that there is a field in that direction, across the Wabash. One of the city wells, drilled in more than ten years ago, is still a good producer, and is making several thousand dollars a year for its owners, as it has been yielding constantly since it came in. When Terre Haute had the oil fever three wells were big producers, and the one now producing is one of the three. Thirty other w r e!ls drilled in and adjacent to tho city failed of production and the search was abandoned, but the oil experts have always been confident that there is a big pool near here, the continuous production of the one well being the best evidence.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—Washington A. Roebling, chief engineer in. the construction of the Brooklyn bridge, called renewed attention to the defects in the structure yesterday. It will be remembered that public alarm was aroused last July by the discovery that some of the girders had buckled under excessive strain. The sagging of the bridge had been noticeable to persons crossing. Repairs were made ami the trolley companies were compelled to allow greater headway for their cars* Mr. Roebling is not satisfied, however. He declares that the bridge is overloaded, and, though he does not fear that it will give way, he says a recalculation of the present mar gain of safety is imperative. When seen at his home in Trenton, N. J., he said: “The crying evil on the bridge is that every year since it has been opened to traffic there have been numerous additions to the dead load, small in themselves but large ill the aggregate. They amount to fully 15 per cent., if not more, all of which must be multiplied by a factor of tension of 1.70, and is intensified by being carried chiefly by the tw r o middle cables. “They comprise, for example, telegraph cables and wire, pneumatic tubes, double lines of rails, fastenings, sheaves and ropes, trolley wires, with extra heavy supporting brackets; heavy rails for trolley ears, .heavier planking, electric light stands, etc. “What is reeded at present is a recalculation of the loads and weights of the bridge, so as to determine the present margin of safety in the main parts of the structure, such as cables, anchorages, etc. Application to this effect has been made to the proper authorities by me, without any satisfactory result as yet. I have no fear of the cables. They still have ample strength and could puil up the anchorage with ease.” REMARKABLE ACCIDENT. Piece of Flesh Driven Through a Vein Into a Man's Heart. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—John Wagenblant died at St. Catherine’s Hospital to-day as the result of a remarkable accident. He was shot with a piece of his own flesh, which, entering a vein, brought about his death. Had Wagenblant lived he would have been the only man In the w r orld without a face, except a face of celluloid that was being made for him. He was twentyone years and lived with his parents in Williamsburg. Nov. 19 he was handling an old musket, which accidentally exploded, tho charge striking him full in the face. Both ears, the nose, the left cheek and the forehead were entirely torn away, and both eyes destroyed. It was not believed that he could live an hour. The victim was taken to a hospital, and the surgeons finally determined upon preparations for making for the young man a face of celluloid. Liquid food was given to Waganblant by means of a feed cup with a long nozzle. Just as a nurse had finished attending to him he died. wu.nout an instant’s warning'. An autopsy showed it was not the loss of his face that had killed Wagenblant, but a marvelous and unsuspected accident. A fragment of flesh, torn from the forehead by one of the buckshot, had driven into a vein. and. taken up by the current of the blood, had been slowly pushed toward the heart. Finally the particle of flesh reached the heart, causing instant death. It was, in its effects, as if a knife point had been driven into the heart. Indebtedness of l|tS4s,2i)i).

GOOD-BYE TO BLANCO' ♦ GEX. WADE AND ADMIRAL SAMPSON PAY THEIR LAST CALL. . Report In Clrenlntinn at Havana, that tien. Maximo Gome* Died Lust Friday Night. ■ HAVANA, N->v. 27—9 p. m.—There !s a report in circulation here this evening that word has been received of the de-ath of General Maximo Gomez on Friday night, but it is not credited in Cuban circles. In accordance with yesterday’s arrangements General Wade, Admiral Sampson, Colonel Clous, Captain Hart, their aids, attaches, all in gala uniform, and an interpreter, called on General Blanco at the palace at 10 o’clock this morning to extend a formal farewell on his resignation of the captain generalship and in anticipation of his early departure from the island. Tho Americans were met by General Parrado, president of the Spanish evacuation commission, at the staircase and escorted to the reception room, where General Blanco was awaiting them. General Wade expressed thanks for courtesies extended to tho Americans, and congratulated General Blanco on the efficient measures he had taken to maintain order and discipline in the Spanish army. Though the Americans had come to a country with which they were at war, they had no complaints to make, said General Wade, as there had been no cause of offense since their arrival. Genera! Blanco answered: “I have acted only in the performance of duty.” When the Americans retired General Blanco accompanied them to the head of the staircase, bowing them out with the greatest courtesy and shaking hands with all. The United States cruiser Topeka arrived this morning at 11 o’clock. Commander W. S. Cowles, with the flag lieutenant, immediately visited the United States evacuation commissioners. The men of the United States Second Engineers, who recently arrived, are in excellent health.

This afternoon the Spanish auxiliary cruiser Rapido and the steamers Yanez and Pinzon arrived. The United States gunboat Scorpion sailed north this afternoon. A BRITISH KICK. Recognize I'nele Sain’* Enterprise in the (liiriqui Incident. LONDON, Nov. 28.—The Standard publishes a special article this morning dealing with the report of the recent concession secured by tho United States at Chiriqui, in the department of Panama, Colombia. The writer says: “Great Britain was advised to secure a harbor there iri 1539, and her rejection of this advice must be placed among her lost opportunities. The strategical advantages of Chiriqui are important, and we may expect the American occupation to be something more than nominal. The Incident is another proof of the energy, determination and prescience of the United States in pursuing the role of an imperial nation.” Tho article calling attention to the fact that “any attempt to fortify or colonize this would be in contravention of the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty, which British governments have successively declined to modify,” says: “If so valuable a concession Is now’ granted it would be interesting to know what is the consideration offered to Great Britain. Doubtless there may be reasons for modifying or abrogating the treaty, but it Is to be assumed that the Foreign Office will take care the important rights secured to Great Britain under the treaty will not be abandoned with sufficient compensation either in the American isthmus or elsewhere.”

How He Told Who Hud Last lined the Public Telephone. New Orleans Times-Democrat. “The last man who used this 'phone/' said a New Orleans Sherlock Holmes, preparing to wrestle with the instrument in an up-town public station, "was a short, little teliow in a deuce of a hurry, smoking a cigarette. He asked for the I. C. freight office, was told they were busy and repeated his request live times, getting madder at each call. Meanwhile his cigarette went out, and after vainly seaching for a match—” “hold on there,” exclaimed a friend who had accompanied him to the booth. "What kind of a fairy story are you giving me, anyhow?” “No fairy story at all,” replied the amateur sleuth blandly. “I was merely stating a few facts.” “But how the Dickens u.u you ascertain them?” “Plain as A, B, C, my boy. To begin with, the adjustable mouthpiece of the instrument is pulled down, as you see, to its fullest extent, indicating clearly that the last user was very muen undersized. Isn’t that evident?” “Ye-e~e-es, I guesa so; but how about the rest?” “Well, look at that ledge and you will observe five charred spots on an equal number of small piles of tobacco ash. What do you infer? Why, obviously, that the gentleman was smoking and laid down his cigarette each time lie called. The piles of ash are still undisturbed, showing they were recently deposited, and they are very small, proving plainly that the intervals of calling were brief. My logical conclusion was that the ’phone he wanted happened to be busy, and I looked instinctively for a memorandum of its number which most men make under such circumstances. I found it, as 1 anticipated, on top of the box. scrawled in pencil, and recognized the number of the freight office. Such memoranda are almost always rubbed out by the sleeve of the next customer, and as this one is still fresh and bright, it is fair to presume it was made by the last man in the booth—otherwise tinshort chap with the cigarette. Moreover, a fr< ight office ’phone is usually busy at this hour, so the clews interlock and sustain one another. Not so. my dear boy? “But the matches?” “Oh, I deduce the match incident front those fresh toothpicks on the floor. When a man in a hurry searches for a match he invariably finds quantities of toothpicks. I Would—” "Are you Through with that 'phone?” asked a short, stout stranger appearing suddenly at the door and vigorously puffing a cigarette, “because if you are I—’’ "Certainly, sir.” said the analyst, smiling, “I think you will find the freight, office disengaged at present.” “Well, I’ll be hanged!” said the friend. An Economical Millionaire. Chicago Post.

The transaeti<sn was completed, the purchaser had drawn his check for SIO,OOO. the first payment, and stood on the railroad platform, having his return tickets in his pocket. “Say.” be suggested as a kind of afterthought, “\ou better let me have a dollar in cash.

Philadelphia Inquirer. Prof. Angelo Heilprin, who left this city for Alaska lust July, has returned and brings with him interesting stories of the Klondike region. He says that the surface there is plastered with gold, and his statements indicate that the tales told of rich findings have not been exaggerated. He says that some claims have already yielded gold worth S3(X),(XK). and have not been nearly exhausted. Laborers earn $lB a day, but a dozen eggs cost $3 and other articles are similarly high. He says that the methods of mining there are not perfect and that from one-quarter to one-third of the gold is lost. He expresses the belief that the gold there is due to volcanic action, as there are traces of volcanism to be found. The mother lode has not yet been discovered, and it may never be found. Borne particles of gold Indicate that they have traveled a long distance, while others show by their sharp edges that the mother lode is near by.

When Spain Got No (JoiiKolntion. St. Louis Globe Democrat. At the end of Spain’s twelve years’ war against England. Germany and Holland Philip wa.s compelled to cede Naples, Sardinia, Parma, Milan and all the Netherlands. And not a cent in cash went to Spain by way of consolation. THE CONVERT BROUGHT BACK. He Wa* Edward Wilson, of the Slgnui Corps. Detective Dugan returned last night from Louisville with Edward Wilson and Wm. Boling, both charged with larceny. Boling, the detective says, stole clothing from Harry Kelley and John Ashcraft when all three were living In a boarding house at 1718 East Washington street. He then went to Jeffersonville and was arrested there. Dugan went after him and took him over to Louisville. While Dugan and two Louisville detectives were walking about in the business part of the city Dugan saw Wilson leaning against the bar in a saloon, and arrested him. Wilson was a member of the signal service corps which was recruited here. When the corps returned to this city he became a patron of a restaurant on West Washington street, run by a Mrs. Willitts, who also deals in wall paper, and incidentally is an active w 7 orker along religious lines. She began to miss small sums of money, and told Wilson about it. One night he told her he was a detective, ami volunteered to watch tho restaurant all night in the hope of catching the thief. There was $9 In the cash drawer, and a little more was received before the closing hour. A girl employed in the kitchen had her watch in the drawer, and when she went after it Wilson told her it would be safer if he watched than if she wore it. When everyone had left the place Wilson cleaned out tho cash drawer and also took the watch, it is claimed. He left for Louisville. Mrs. Willitis told Detectives Asch and Dugan she had tried to convert Wilson, and that "he seemed to take such an interest in reform work.” PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

The He*t Coffee. The most popular booth at the pur* Food Exposition is that of James Heekin & Cos., which is daily thronged by lovers of good coffee. A cup of coffee "fit for the gods.” may be had there free; such coffe* as you never tasted in your iife before. There isn’t an article of food that you should be more cautious in selecting for the table than coffee. Good coffee contain* essential oils; is a harmless stimulant and gives tone ahd buoyancy to the system. It soothes the stomach and aids digestion, whereas, common coffee has none, or very little of the essential o.is, giving therefore, an astringent, depressing effect and retarding digestion. The coffees constituting the justly celebrated “Kin-Hee” Mocha and Java, are selected from line old coffees for their intrinsic cup value; they art* carefully blended. By a special process of roasting the different kinds of coffee together. the essential oils are fully developed and retained, producing the rare, rich flavor In "Kin-Hee" that never change* and is always reliable. Did you ever give a thought as to how much a cup of coffee costs you at your breakfast table? You of small means who have studied economy in all its phases t may think you cannot afford to pay 3o cents per pound for a good coffee. But how much do you think a cup of good coffee, like the “Kin-iee” brand, costs you? Just 7-10 of a cent per cup; the cheapest articlo of food you have on the breakfast table. The beverage that clears your brain; drive* away malaria; warms and tones the stomach; quickens the imagination, and stimulates the heart action, all for 7-<l< of a cent per cup, while, the cheap coffees that sell for 10 and 12 cents per pound cost you fully 3-10 of a cent for a cup. which is fiat to the taste, wootty-fiavored, nerve-devour-ing, and without any of the essential oils, that are so necessary in building up the tissues—in one word—“coffee soup.” The good housewife never thinks of buying butter because it is cheap. No, indeed, she buys that which is good, because it is good. Then why buy coffee that has no merit and is coffee in name only? On the score of economy, it would be much better for the human system, and therefore, more healthful, to drink “Kin-Hee” Mocha and Java only two or three tim?s a week (if this Is all you can afford) than for you to drink trashy coffee three times every day. If you will send your name and the name of your grocer to James Heekin & Cos.. Cincinnati, they will send vou a copy of Mrs. Rorer’s little booklet, "Coffee and Cakes,” and will see that your grocer supplies you with “Hln-Kee” Coffee, so that you may hereafter always have at your o-vn table the last coffee that can jr>* slble be made,—Cincinnati Poat.
