daughters end a worthless, fortune-seeking Englishman, who had made the boast that he could win the little American miss." Plumb did not, however, add anything to the statement which he had prepared in advance, regarding the events that took place Just prior to the shooting. He appeared cool Immediately upon his arrest, but when at the police station word came that Masterton had died. Plumb broke down and said: "It bad to be." A chambermaid at the Burlington, who was the only one near the room In which the shooting occurred, told the police that he heard the men In angry conversation Just before she heard the pistol shots. One of the men, she paid, and she was positive that It was not Masterton, said, in a loud, angry tone, "I will not be satisfied with that amount" Two shots were tired in quick succession and a moment later three more. Plumb came out of the room perfectly collected and said to her, "There is a man in trouble in there." He then went down rtairs and Into the reception room, where, later, he was arrested. , if AST ERTO N AND HIS SLAYER. Alexander Masterton was a leading resident of Mount Vernon, where he occupied a handsome- home with his wife and two daughters, Mrs. C. B. Tibbals and Mrs. W. N1. Ferris. He was formerly connected with the old Manufacturers' and Merchants' Back of New York, and later was Interested in the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company. He had the management of many estates, and was interested heavily In Westchester real estate. He had held a cumber of public offices. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity and was a popular man In Mount Vernon. J. Nexle Plumb at one time was very wealthy, occupying a fine residence on ilfth avenue, and having a half-mllllon-dollar villa at Islip, L. I. It Is said by those who are Intimately acquainted with Slnmb that he lost most of his fortune, although he had sufficient left to retire from business, twenty years ago. He also Is said "by those who know him best to be a popular, easy-going man. A number of the lawyers interested In the legal proceedings of the Plumb-Masterton case were greatly surprised to learn of the murder. Lawyer David McClure, who represented Masterton In proceedings in which the two men were involved, was greatly urprised to hear of the shooting, which, however, he did not wish to discuss. He raid, however, that he had always found Piumb pleasant and easy to get along with. J- Henry Thompson, another lawyer interested in the Plumb family litigation, fald: "Had the shooting occurred during the first proceedings I might not have been eo much nurprlsed." Mr. Thompson admitted that Plumb was very bitter over the court proceedings, and believed that he was the victim of a conspiracy. BELONGS TO POLICYHOLDERS.

Ho Question About the Sarpln of 31 ntaal Insurance Companies. NEW YORK, May 3. In life Insurance circles the one subject of discussion to-day ?was the decision of the appellate division of the Supremo Court in Brooklyn yesterday. Vice President Alexander, of the Equitable, to-day regarding the decision ald: "The bold statement of the recent decision In the case of Greif against the -Hquitablo Life Assurance Society Is calculated to give the affair an air of greater importance than it deserves. For example, there Is no question about the entire surplus of the Equitable and any other mutual companies belonging to the policy holders. The only question is how shall It be divided end when. Neither is there any question about the immediate division of the entire surplus of the society. The question arises in regard to a marginal surplus of six millions or thereabouts very properly carried over from year to year as a guarantee ugalnst fluctuations in values. An application Is to be made at once to have the case certified to the Court of Appeals, and even 'upon an adverse decision there the question would com up on trial with the new light of facts, which, in the opinion of our counsel, would dispose of the whole thing satisfactorily."

FRANKLIN, Ind.. May 2. The new fish law has been the subject of much discussion here and one bad feature has been noted. As it would be too dangerous to fish with a pole and line there are now few people along the banks of the streams and the dynamiters are taking advantage of the fact. As a consequence, it is reported that the banks of the streams in many places are lined with small dead fish. A few days ago two Shelby county men drove over to Sugar Creek in tho east part of this county and dynamited the stream.

DEATH RATE DECREASING

HEALTH OF HAVANA'S POPULATION SHOWS I3IP110VEMENT. American Troops Throughout Cnba tn Good Condition Alleged Corruption in Management of Jail. HAVANA, May 3. The most recent reports regarding tha health of Havana's population show a great and continuing improvement, with a death rate only two-thirds of that officially recorded for the corresponding period of last year. Not a single case of yellow fever is known to exist. The health of American troops throughout the Island is exceptionally good. The outbreak of typhoid fever among the members of the Eighth United States Cavalry at Puerto Principe has been completely subdued, and only a few convalescents now remain there. The Havana Herald publishes a sensational article to-day, charging the grossest corruption in the management of the city Jail. It asserts that the prison officials take money from prisoners and then place them at liberty under a pledge to return if they are ever asked for. As many accused persons are never brought to trial at all, and as It often happens that the judges have no notion as to who is supposed to be locked up, the jailers find It an easy matter to speculate in this fashion. The presidents of thirty benevolent socie ties of Havana have forwarded a petition to Secretary Alger, secretary of war, ask ing him to retain in the service Captain Noel Gaines, of the Third Kentucky Volunteer Regiment, who has had charge of tne reiier work in Havana. Another petition to the same effect has been forwarded to General Alger by Cuban officers; and it is understood that Major General Ludlow will request that Captain Gaines be appointed to his staff after being formally mustered out. Mrs. Brooke, wife of the governor general, has presented to the Orphanage la Beneflclencla $1,000, representing contributions by friends in the United States, among them President McKinley, Secretary of State Hay end Mr. W. K. Vanderbllt, each of whom subscribed $100 to the fund. On the Constancia plantation, near Cienfuegos, Santa Clara province, bandits have burned 1,000,000 arrobas of sugar cane. (The arroba is a Spanish weight of twenty-five pound., containing each sixteen ounces.) A somewhat peculiar situation has resulted In the province of Puerto Principe by the reverting of Gen. Louis H. Carpenter to the rank of colonel. In that capacity he becomes the junior of Col. Edward A. Moale. commanding the Fifteenth Infantry. Army officers say the President may appoint Col. Carpenter military Governor of the province, but that Colonel Moale's orders must supersede Colonel Carpenters. The topic is one of considerable Interest in army circles. During the month of April. Havana exported to New York 7.771 tierces of tobacco baled and 18.402.7lu cigars. Maj. Francis S. Dodge, of the pay department, who has been selected by the War Department to disburse the 13,000,000 allotted by the government for the payment of the troops of the Cuban army, arrived to-day. The United States hospital ship Missouri arrived this afternoon, bringing a number of sick troops. At 3 o'clock to-day the temperature in Havana was 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Penniless Soldier. SAN JUAN DB PORTO RICO, May 3. Several hundred eoldlers who were discharged from the United States army three weeks ago are awaiting transportation home. They are without funds, and are becoming much exasperated over the delay.

General Henry has authorized them to Bleep and cat at the military barracks. Many of the men are without a cent. . The United States transport Buford sailed to-day for Santiago and New York with 400 discharged eoldlers on' board. 1 Bandits Killed.

Georgia Leglnlature Proposes Prompt Legal Hanging of Rapists. ATLANTA, Ga., May 3.-The lynch-law question will be one of the subjects for dls cussion at the next session of the Georgia Legislature. Hon. N. A. Morris, represent atlve from Webb county, believes he has solved the problem and will Introduce a bill upon the subject at the next session of the General Assembly, in October. Mr. Morris's bill provides for the trial of the accused within five days after his arrest, and, upon conviction, the measure provides for a public hanging five days after. A unique provision of the act Is that the testimony of the assailant's victim may be taken in private by a special commissioner, in the presence of the accused, while the trial is in progress. The bill makes every provision for a speedy trial. Including the filing or a bill or exceptions, and the special convening of both District and Supreme courts if necessary.

Woman Fatally Wounds an Attorney and Kills Herself. CHICAGO, May 3.-Daid J. Wile, an at torney, lies at the Post Graduate Hospital, probably fatally wounded by three shots fired by a young woman named Mabel BIrk. After wounding Wile Miss Birk shot and killed herself. The shooting occurred this afternoon in a parlor of the Hotel Anthony. According to the lawyer's statement he had met Miss Birk in a professional way only. He claims that they met on the street today accidentally and that the young woman asked him to accompany her to the hotel, where she would sing for him. Wile was seated on the piano stool, running over the keys when, without any warning, his companion shot him three times. One of the bullets struck Wile just above the small of the back, another lodged in his neck and a third back of his right ear. The single missile which ended the life of the young woman penetrated the breast. Wile Is well known In Chicago legal circles and has conducted a considerable practice. He is married. He says he cannot conceive of any reason for the young woman's rash act. LODGE OF BLACK ELKS. Ritual Stolen from Whit Clnclnnatlans and Copies Printed. CINCINNATI. May 3.-Last October a lodge of the Patriotic and Benevolent Order of the Elks was organized here by negroes. It was soon discovered that the colored Elks had the same ritual and everything like the white Elks. Arthur Riggs, a Pull man porter, became general organizer. The Elks charged that he had found a ritual in the Pullman car some time, and instead of ''turning it in" had used It to establish the colored EJks. Riggs denied the charge, but lost his place with the Pullmans. lie then devoted himself to organizing colored Elks. Last night there was a row among the local colored Elks, and some of their number to-day gave the secret away. Riggs did not find a ritual in a Pullman car, but the Janitor of the Cincinnati lodge let some colored men into the Elks hall last summer, when a copy of the ritual was stolen ana many copies printed for the use of the coi ored brethren. DEGENERATE AMERICANS. Trying- to Ape Spaniards by Taking Part in Mexican Ball Fights. CITY OF MEXICO, May 3. The coming bull fight at Durango, in which Americans will perform, occasions much comment, and the English-speaking clergy continue to denounce it with few exceptions. One cler gyman says he cannot see what particular sin there is in bull fighting any more than in pugilism, horse racing, etc. The Cath ollc clergy are preaching sermons against tne prevalent mania and urging more de votion to the worship of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which course ia also advocated by the Bishop of Tepic in a pastoral letter. INVENTED "OUR MARY." John R. Rogers Tells How Re Started Talk About 3Iary Anderson. New York Telegraph. T see." said John R. Rogers yesterday. "The Morning Telegraph is the only paper in town that refers to Mary Anderson De Navarro as 'Our Mary.' She used to be thus endearingly spoken of almost every where in this country, and I claim the hon or of having Invented the term. I had just returned from a tour around the world with the late J. K. Emmet, and had reached Chicago when John W. Norton, who was then managing Miss Anderson, and having a hard struggle, telegraphed that he would give me my own terms to go ahead of nls attraction. "I joined the company, overlooked the situation and concluded that It would be necessary to adopt sensational tactics. My nrst stand was Providence, and It seemed utterly Impossible to awaken interest in the new classic star. So I thought out a scheme. I called upon the editor of a leading Providence paper and asked him If he knew that the late Major Anderson, who fired the first gun in the civil war. was killed and had left a widow and daughter penniless in Providence. "He eald he was aware of the fact, and i asKea mm not to allow any reference to get into the paper touching the fact .that jkiajor Anderson s daughter bad been compelled to go upon the stage as a last resort to earn her living. I told him I thought an article to this effect had been sent to his paper by some one who desired to humiliate the 'aristocratic but poor Anderson family. Then I went away. "The editor, who hadn't received any such article, probably figured that it might have been sent to some other paper, so he came out the next day with a big spread story about 'Our 'Mary,' with columns of family history. That day I went the rounds and proved to all the other editors that the Mary Anderson for whom I was working wasn't the ono mentioned in the publication, and thus started a mass of contradictions end statements pro and con that went all over the country. "Wo played to nearly $6,000 that week In Providence. It was the first big week of the tour, and gave us money to work with. From that point clear through the season there were big profits." A Lost Souvenir. New York Evening Sun. In spite of the assiduity of the souvenir seeker while the Raleigh was here, the cruiser managed to carry off a few of its portable belongings. Indeed, some things that the souvenir seeker would have given her eye teeth for went deliberately to waste. On officer upon leaving the boat, decided only to take with him what Is known in naval circles as his "Sunday sword;" the battered blade that he had worn during the battle of Manila having no further usefulness in his eyes. "Here Blank," he cried to a fellow officer, "You can have this old sword of mine: I don't want it." "No more do I." returned the fellow officer In a tone to bring tears to the eyes of the souvenir seeker. "Why don't you pitch it overboard?" So through the porthole went the sword Into the North river. But It wouldn't be surprising to hear that the souvenir seekers, so soon as they learn its fate, have formed a dredging company for the purpose of recovering so priceless a treasure.

Street-Car Employes Think the Slam Vm S. Mail' I Wrongfully; Used. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 3. The Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes, in session heie to-day, telegraphed President McKinley a protest against the too free use of the protection afforded by the words "U. S. Mall." The telegram was as follows: "The Amalgamated Association of Street Car Employes of America assembled respectfully call your attention to the fact that many street railway companies throughout the country are using the words U. S. Mail on street cars that do not carry mall, and we are convinced that this is done to intimidate and coerce their employes; ai"Whereas.

Mall.' and requiring the company to have signs, which must be removed when no mail is being, carried, "We respectfully petition your Excellency to have the ruling made universal throughout the' country, assuring you that we do not wish to interfere with the rapid delivery of the United States mail nor deprive our fellow-countrymen of any benefits accruing from the same. All we are asking is that we be given equal rights as citizens by our government." HHMaVBBBBMSBIBBBSMSBSBBBMMSBBBlBSn HOW FUXSTOX LOST A CADETSHIP. Deaten by n Country Lad Who Is Now a Lieutenant. New York Tribune. "Colonel Fred Funston, of the Twentieth Kansas Volunteers, who is making such a record as a fighter in the Philippine campaign, will never get over his disappointment at not going to West Point about fourteen years ago," said one of Funston's classmates at the Kansas State University to a Tribune reporter yesterday, after reading the dispatches from Manila. The narrator, who is a machine manufacturer on the East Side, had a number of stories to tell about Funston. This was one of them: "Funston is a native of Ohio, and although one of the smallest men in the university, he was one of the pluckiest. Before going to the university, from which, by the way, he was not graduated, owing to his being dull in studies, he tried the examination for a West Point cadetship. If I remember rightly this was about fourteen or fifteen years ago, when Funston was a mere stripling, and when his father was a congressman from a southern Kansas district. "Fred's father had at his disposal, subject to competitive examination, a cadetship. and Fred, after filling his mind with United States history and practicing at marksmanship and sword exercise for months, went into the examination, which was held, I think, at Paola. Fred was confident. That's the way he is built, by the way, notwithstanding that he Is small and red-headed, and he thought that the cadetship was a sure thing. His father thought so, too, and no doubt helped Fred along as much as possible In the examination were half a dozen farmers' sons, among them a fellow named Charles Crawford. This Crawford knew a thing or two himself, and had a much better all-round store of knowledge than Funston possessed. When the papers were examined Crawford was found to be the winner by a handsome margin, with Fred a poor second. "The disappointment nearly broke Funston's heart, and he was as savage as a bulldog for months afterward. Fred was named as the alternate, and he had a gleam"cf hope that Crawford would be killed in a cyclone or get struck by lightning or get crippled In a railroad smash-up, and that as alternate he would go to West Point after all. But Crawford was an unusually healthy fellow snd went to the Military' Academy, where he was graduated well up In his class. He accepted a lieutenancy In the army, and in the Santiago campaign was brevetted captain for gallant conduct under fire. He is now a lieutenant In the Twenty-first Infantry, and he left San Francisco for Manila three weeks ago with his regiment. "Now Funston is a colonel, with the prospect of speedily becoming a brigadier general, and It Is possible that Crawford, wbo will arrive In Manila as a lieutenant, will have his regiment assigned to Funston's brigade. That might not please Crawtord, but no doubt it would take away some of the sting of fifteen years ago, when Crawford's superior ability wrecked one of Funston's most fondly cherished hopes."

The next step below bronchitis is consumption. It is near the bottom on the down-grade hill of disease. The symptoms of bronchitis are tightness in the chest, difficult breathing, soreness; darting, sharp, or dull and heavy pain, or a prickly, distressing scuviticn, accompanied usually by

a nagging coc?n and expectoration. There is no care for bronchitis, or for sore throat and weak and bleeding lungs, unles the blood is ptuiiied.

Military Methods the Only Kind That Will Succeed. Philadelphia Inquirer. If recent events In the Philippines prove one thing: more than another, they prove the superiority of military over academic agencies in the pacification of barbarous and savage races. If Aguinaldo luul been subjected to no more potent Inducements than the lamb-like proclamation of tho Denby-Schurman commission," - tio white man or woman would be alive today In the Island of Luzon, and no shred of j property remain lu the hands of its legitimate owner. Stern war Is a dreadful thing at best, and spectacled philosophers, protected here by the civilization we are about to establish In the Philippines, may be counted on to see it at Its worst. But the realization of the wildest nightmare would seem a peaceful view of Arcady compared with the fiendish carnival of massacre and rapine that would be ushered in at Manila were our fighting men to withdraw and leave the situation to the estimable Colonel Denby and the learned pundit Schurman and their flute-like warbllngs of millennium. The simple truth of the matter Is that. If we really intend to enter upon a career of territorial expansion, with colonial dependencies and foreign complications, we may as well acknowledge to ourselves the necessity of acting upen practical and common sense lines. These "sullen, silent peoples" are not to be reformed by evangelical methods. Look over the field of our missionary activities and say where and whea the cause of civilization has been advanced by meekness, love and ministration. Barbarous peoples do not understand these agencies. They recognize Just one influence the Influence of force. Centuries of experience have left them with no other standard. The apostle who goes among them following the Savior's Injunctions is martyred without a second thought. They do not wont our religion, our ethics, our methods. We can accomplish but one end, and that Is to teach them moderation and good behavior. Civilization may come later. It cannot possibly lead the procession of our enterprise. Those Filipinos who have followed Agulnaldo are barbarians of the most turbulent and ferocious type. They are marauders, pirates, spoliators. Once they were the terror of the Kastern seas. Never have they been subject to the softening Influences of Christianity. To issue to them a proclamation of prace and light is to whistle in the tf-eth of Dorcas. We cannot wipe out the teachings and traditions of a thousand years with mellifluous appeals and pious epigrams. We have to set up against their savage Irapulses and bloody inclinations the barrier of a serene strength and a pitiless repression. The men behind the guns are the true evangelists in Duzon. PRECKDIJVT A VICIOUS OXE. Pertinent Reflection on the Verdict am to Mrs. George. Philadelphia Bulletin. Experience In numberless Instances has shown the dlfiiculty In getting a Jury to convict a woman of a capital offense. This Is unjust, irrational and prolific In dangerous consequences. The sex of the accused ought not to enter into the merits of the case, and a woman who commits a willful murder should be held to account as etrictly as a man under the same conditions. At present there Is far too much ground for the belief, on the part of angry and revengeful women, that they are practically sure of immunity from the law's ultimate penalty when they take human life. This simply amounts to putting a premium on murder if the ajsassln happens to-wear petticoats. There Is one feature of the case that Jeserves special comment. The fact that the man for whose murder Mr. George was on trial was the brother of the wife of the President of the United States wos nowhere made prominent in the proceedings, and there was not the slightest attempt on the part of the federal autnorlty to influence the action of the court or the procuring of evidence. If the verdict had been od versa tc the prisoner no one could have said that the power of the government had been exerted, even in the most indirect degree, in securing her conviction. 1It attorneys had no odds to contend with in this respect. They were as completely unhampered as thy would have been if Saxton had been n ignorant day laborer, without a sing: influential friend or relative. It is doubtful if there is another nation on the face of the globe in which this would have been the case under similar circumstances. Alsrer nnd Wheeler nt Laming. LANSING. Mich., May 3.
