A GIRL'S SIN AND SUICIDE

CAUSED BY A MORAL LEPER AND 8 OCA LL ED ASTROLOGER. The T ratio Ending or I.JmU TT1on'i Idfe t w York nd the Persecution by Ahmet Wh IIa Since lle1 Letter Written to Iler Mother ad Sweetheart. Jjw Your, March 27. A daughter deal in this town, and a bitter ache In a mother' heart across the ocean. Thai's all there ia of this etory, and may not lo worth the telling. Indeed, daughters die daily of suicide and mother's hearta will alwavs ache. Ho there is no reason for the writing of this lave there is a legacy of let lent that renders Lizzie Vileon'a death of mora than usual human interest. Io an uptown boarding house the other day the was found dead became of poison the had taken to end a life out of which all pride has not been blotted by sin. An astrologer Ahmet by name whose 'aaeiitant" she was, had sought to df grade her beyond description, and she tie J from him. He wrote in his anger to the girl'i aged mother over the ocean, and to'd her that Itor child vras a moral wreck. Then with the keenness of diabolism he hunted down Lis prey, told her what he had done and promised If she would return to him that he would write again to the mother and declare Iiis previous letter a lie. Tiiis wm done, but foon bus again drove her forth and ahe Was found dead, and beside her poor body ere letters tiiat were opened today by a roner. The dead girl turned her shroud to arraign the man Ahmet. fche had written bin? : I want yon. aa a right not aa a favnr, to bury 0. You bare ruinad ra f life at borne, I can10t ever bs received again, fend the letter roa will find here to niy mother and the w.ll fuud you ah it will fost you. lleae fcaa ne cremateti is all 1 ak and keep the thiug aa tell a posiible out u! the papers. This much she reached back from her lotlin to claim and then her thoughts had urned with Littemesd to his future: Yoi al.all never be happy ai.-i if I hare taythiog to do in the great unknown, which 1 im about to enter upon. Thus the letter en led and here is what was said to the mother in the writing "he had atked to hare pent to Mrs. .Neil Crossly, liavernett postotfice, J.i.-luru, County Autrim, Ireland: Mother I am about to take the life which baa always laen iny eurae. l'orgiv me.

And that's all of the story only the relics of a huiu-ui wrcc, and a mother's heart already stricken, but to bear yet a severer blow. And the man Ahmet? He hart tied and tnniorraw the girl's bodv will be sown with other dead in a trench in I'olter'n lie d. THE NEW ORLEANS DECISION. It Sets Labor Leaders and Law) era to Thinking. New Ynjif.-, March 2'5. The decision of TJ. S. Judge K. C. 1'i.iioga touching the late general strike in New Orleans in which he declares general strikeH to b. illegal, if in any respects they restrain the freedom of commerce, befogged labor leaders ftjain today and est lawyers to thinking. Tin buninef-a of the Central labor union was difiosl of in a hurry in rrder that the de.eitate mignt hare time to taik about it. l ew lawyers who were reen were willing to tiiscu-s it until they think it over. Col. Hubert Ingersolk eai 1: "As a veuerel rue, men have a right t fjiiit work, but not to prevent others fro'ii taking their pares l'.y thii4 I don't mean to pay that Strikers may not use persuasion and argument to induce other people to refrain from going to work in places where there are strikes. Men mav, of course, 'conspire to quit work but how ia any one to prove it. Mnnv strikes have he?n idegttl but the number involved make the courts powerless." Henry George sa d: "This in but another attempt to bind down the ocean with pack thread, 'lhat stakes are restraints of commerce ia true; so are manv other things which the courts cannot or do not interfere. Tlixotrike at bottom rests upon the individual right to work or not to work, and for the courts to attempt more than to prevent violence or threats of violence is to enter upon untenable or danCeroiia ground. They u.uht as well try tt ro-estabinh slavery. If the trades union with its necessary weapon, the strike could be prevented by prohibition and penalties it could never have grown tip in reat Untnin where courts and legislator did theia uUno-tto put it down under conditions far more favorable to attempt than those which exist in the United States to-day. New Okie ns, March '21. As the derision by Judge I'.LUings of the TJ. H. circuit court rendered Saturday in the caae of the United Mates vs. the "Workiogmen's amslzamated council of New Orleans, prowicg out of the general labor strike of laat November, Is not understood in some circles, the following resume ja telegraphed ty rennest: The decision of Jude I'.illiogs maintains tnat combinations in restraint of interstate and foreign commerce by and between laborers are within the tatateof July 2, 1-V.1, as well as combination by and between capitalist. A combination among laborers to allow no work to be done in moving gwla und merchandise, which wa beinj conreyd through thecitv of New Orlcana from the State and to and from for.in countrits, until the demands of employes, in certain kinds of buainess were compied with, is within the prohibition of the statute. The opinion further holds that mere rafuaal to work or a combination among the many laborers not to work, with no attempt by intimulation a' , viol. nre to prevent others front woric'ng, would not contravene the statute.

A JUMP IN WHEAT.

Tbe Prico Advances Two Cents Over Saturday. CHICAGO, March 27. May wheat jumped to 80c a bushel today, a 2c advance over Saturday's high mark and closed at 79c.,The advance of lc Saturday 6care 1 the shorts and they started in at tbe opening to cover part of their line. The market was wild and the opening quotations ranged from 7Slc to 7sJo. The heavy buying sent the market to 70o with a ru-h. Then the clique came in by selling some of its holdings and the trioe dropped to the opening figure. The phorts then began to buy again and the market went up to 80c, the clujue aiding in the advance by taking bark part of their original oilericcH. The traders became nervoud and from this point until the close the market see-sawed between 71'Jc and 7i)ic, closing nearer the top. July wheat was firm, but closed without material change in its value Corn opened firm, but cloned very weak at Jc under Saturday's latent quotations. Oats were weak from start to finish, and closed after an active day's business at jc below the prices ruling on Saturday afternoon. Provisions were dull but firm. The visible supply of wheat unexpectedly decreased Sl-.UOO compared with an increase of 154,000 bushels the corresponding week last year, but the figure had no appreciable eUect upon the market. The interest in the May deal dominated the market to the exclusion of everything; else. The c ique brokers were being closely watched, and although they must have disposed of a considerable quantity of May wheat on the hard spots, the traders could see that there must be heavy buyinz orders in the market from aborts which enabled realizing to be done without breaking the prices. Kaufman of St. Louis was one of the heavy thorta who "faced the inunic" today. The whole trade was restlet-s. Outside shorts were very anxious, straddlerg at St. Louis, Dtiluth, Milwaukee and Chicago all had trades outstanding that were getting very unprofitable. This forced con-idurabie bin ing for May aside from the question of what the big northwestern shorts may have covered. It is clain ed in some quarters that the bull cliUo house in wheat have of late been bending their energies to hold the market within bounds. A break would be quite disastrous to them. An advance at this time would but attract more wheit from other centers to Chicago. This might prove disastrous. When May wheat got a twist of 1 (c) over Saturday to 78 (c) the move was first charged to the clique. Later according to these theorists it was their opinion that shorts were largely responsible, and that the clique did as much as possible to hold tbe market together. This morning they had the same task on hand in au aggravated form. Pardridge says of wneat: "The clioue poses as a target for the entire grain trade of the country. While not having the broad sides oi a barn, this target is of sufficient size to be much riddled before June 1. Probably the capital of the clique is opposed by equady large amounts and the tactics arrayed agaimit it are as shrewd as their own. Tha contract , stocks of wheat have lately increased about four hundred thousand weekly. There yet remains nine weeks to fill sales of May wheat. We tbiuk the leant the clique can expect to receive in that time will be 500,000 bushes a week, which would raise the total contract stocks by June to over 15,500,000 bushels. Car lots of No. 2 wheat are selling 3c under the May price and only thirty-six days to Mav 1. Py looking at the daily out inspection of wheat none of the car lota of No. 2 rd or No. 2 wheat are found, but the shipment all consist of grades selling H 15o iesH. After a price for No. 2 red in this market today would be 07c and No. 2 spring 05c. Either New York must advance from 75c to S5c. and Toledo and Detroit from O'.tc to 7So or Chicago must sooner or later fall into line and we shall not incline to the bull eido until values all around are adjusted in their usual positions." The wheat pit took the attention of operators today to such an extent that other pita' were neglected. The feature in corn and oata was the eeetning deaire of country longs to get out of their holdings. Tonight, compared with Saturday night, pork is up lo and lard 7Jo. Kibs tt'e about unchanged.
