GOVERNOR OF THE CITY KILLED Murder Done by Partisans cf Vico President Gomez. Victim CSoes on a Peace Frrand, Is Invited to Tuke a Drink, and Shot to Pieces as lie Sits. Chicago, Feb. 2. The following 1ms been received by the Associated Press, dnted Caracas, Venezuela, Jan. 28: "General Luis Matu y Illas, the governor of .Caracas, was assassinated last night by a crowd of intoxicated partisans of Vicente Gomez, the first vice president of the republic. Among Urn assassins was Eusebio Gomez, a cousin of the vice president. The men bad Bpent the evening riotously shooting pistols, drinking and crying 'Long lire Gomez!' They managed to avoid the police, but their behavior was creating considerable apprehension in the city. At this stage General Mata y Illas drove In a cab to the cafe where the men were for the purpose, of remonstrating with them in a friendly manner. Was a Cowardly Crime. "They Invited the governor of the city into the cafe to drink with them. Mata y Illas eat down and began to expostulate, whereupon the crowd suddenly opened tire on him with their revolvers. Eighteen bullets entered tho body of the governor, who died this morning. Immediately after the shooting the assassins drove hurriedly to the outskirts of the city and took refuge in the mountains. Another Bloody Iincident. : "Another incident of last night waa a fight between General Salas, commander of the San Mauriclo barracks, and Ovelieno Uzcategui, commander of the troops in the federal district. This trouble arose from a conflict of au. thority. Uzcategui received a bullet wound In the scalp, but inflicted injury upon his adversary with his sword." Assassins Are Captured. A later dispatch, dated Caracas, Jan. CO, says: "The men who murdered General Luis Mata y lllis were captured in the mountains today without bloodshed, and are now in prison here. Domingo Carvajal was appointed to succeed General Luis Mata y Illas ns governor of Caracas, but be died of heart failure a few hours after being told of bis appointment. The appointment of Dr. Angel Carnevali Monreal as governor of the city was announced today. General Illas was appointed governor of the federal district of Caracas on the recent return of General Castro to the presidency." TRADE OUT LOCK IS BRIGHT Dun & Co. Finds the Prospects in the Mercantile World as Rosy as Could Bo Desired New York, Feb. 2. II. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Although the average of sixty of the most active railway securities fell this week to the lowest point since 1904 there was no corresponding reaction in commercial activity, which continued beyond precedent. Reports from leading manufacturingcentersludicate that scarcely any idle machinery can be found, preparations for future trade evidencing a contidence in well maintained consumption. Forward business Is most extensive in the Iron and steel manufacture and the cotton industry, but other prominent producers have liberal contracts on hand also, and the mercantile outlook is bright. Wholesale houses receive large contracts for spring delivery, especially in dry goods lines, and the settled winter weather lias produced a wholesome reduction in retail stocks cf heavy weight wearing apparel and other seasonable merchandise. Little specification for delivery of Bessemer iron by the prominent steel interests during the past week has increased the available supply, but premiums for spot shipment tend upward because of the pressure from smaller producers, and there is no evidence of weakness in the situation. Cm. A. It. Chief Injured. Cincinnati, Feb. 2. K. P.. Brown, commander-in-chief of the G. A. It., oneotherpassenger and the engineer of a Baltimore and Southwestern train were injured in a collision between the train and a switch engine near Section avenue, Norwood. Genera Brown, who was on bis way from Cincinnati to ZanesviHe, bis ' home, sustained a sprained ankle. Saw a Man Leap to Death. St, Louis, Feb. 2. M. II. Seaman, cf Duluth. reported to the police that while crossing Fads" bridge be saw a well-dressed man about HO years old leap from the bridge. Seamen watched, but did not see the body come to the surface of the Mississippi, which is about 12o feet below the bridge. Shawneetown Safe at Last. Shawneetown, 111., Feb. 2. With the receding of the river below the danger line it is generally believed that the levees have won their battle with the flooded Ohio, and business is1 rapIdly resuming its normal state. The cost to the city for repairs on tee levea, to far, is about 51.000.

It had seemed as though clothes waa a worn out subject for the stage. Presented in the past have. been plays of all sorts and conditions dealing more or leas -with the subject of clothes, though never avowedly basing their whole fabric upon them. Then again have befjn seen plays where the clothes, worn by the actresses were of more importance than the drama Itself. In tho society drama by Avery Hopvvood and Charming' Pollock in which Grace Georga and her brilliant company are to appear at the Illinois theatre, Chicago, for two weeks, commencing Monday, Feb. 4, It can be learned that the subjoot has only been partially considered In the past. This play is the final word, the ultimate consideration, the autobiography of clothes. When Cartyle wrote "Sartor Rosartus" he summed up the past and outlined the future of the subpect from a literary viewpoint. No one lias ever been able to augment his work. "Clothes" performs the same feat for the stage, and is itself a dramatic garment that fits (Irace George like one of Worth's gowns. Primarily and fundamentally "Clothes" 1s clever. It bristles with sparkling epigrams and is up-to-date with a

vigor. It is full of freshness, of virility and of unhackneyed things and is realistic with a realism that has not been before attempted in society plays. "Clothes" deals with the lives of a people on the fringe of good society; money spenders, In the world where the women spend, the men worry, and the devil attends the tea parties. Grace George has the part of a girl left an orphan and who supposes her money is derived from some stocks her father left hi3 lawyer friend in trust for her. As a matter of fact the stocks are worthless and she is constrained to marry for money. Then she falls in love with the suitor and in a fit of selfhatred refuses him, but finally after the villain tells the lover that he has been supporting the girl for years and that she would not marry if it were not for clothes, the play ends satisfactorily in a daringly original act. New York theatregoers have hailed the piece as the most emphatic success of tho season and in this play Miss George has the opportunity of her dramatic career. Her supporting company is notably brilliant even in an era of brilliant companies. Among others In the cast are Frank Worthing, Robert T. Haines, Selene Johnson, A. II. Stuart, Edward Fielding, Justine Cutting, Evelyn Carrington, Ruth Benson and Laura Leminers. As the piece was staged under the personal direction of William A. Brady, the costuming and mountings are on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It should be remembered that letters or telegrams sent to the Illinois theatre in advance always receive prompt attention. "THE WOMAN IN THE CASE." Iitanche Walsh's Greatest Success Is to Appear at the Towle Opera House Sunday lght. Blanche "Walsh's greatest success is to appear at the Towle opera house Sunday evening. It presents one of the strongest themes possessed by any modern drama of recent years and entirely accounts for the great success it achieved in New York whence it comes here with a record of six engagements at six separate theaters, including a phenomenal run of four months at the Herald Square theater. Here is the pith of the plot: A wife must prove her husband innocent of a murder with which he has been wrongly, and vindictively charged. There is but one way to worm the truth out of the woman who is his chief accuser a woman of the town. To learn that truth she must insinuate herself into the woman's confidence, persuade her finally to the telling of the talo that shall prove that the murder was really a suicide. The wife is all resolute devotion. The other woman is all vindlctiveness, working through low cunning. There are two acts of preparation. The third act sets tho two women face to face. There is a hint of the wife's repulsion toward all that her effort brings upon her, another of the chief resolution that upbears her. Then the last battle begins. The tide ebbs and flows. The wife learns tills, learns that, but the truth she seeks evades her. Then she begins to play upon the woman's vindlctiveness. Inch by inch they near the confession. At last it comes. The wife springs upon her half in triumph, half in wild relief from all that she has endured. The scene, except for a few moments, in which the attendant men are dismissed, is all stark emotion. and stark suspense. There is no sparing of what is the fashion to call unpleas ant detail, but that detail serves to bring the spectator at closer grip with living emotions in vital conflict. KNIGHTS OF MACCABEES OF THE WORLD It Aids tiie Hand In Sickness and Distress and Hrlntts Comfort to the 'Widow and Orphan of Deeensed Members This fraternal beneficiary society has its general offices at Port Huron, Michigan. A society bearing this name was ! organized at tho City of London, Can ada, in 1STS, in honor of tho valiant soldier, Judas Maccabeus, who had the honor of being the greatest general of , his time and who required that a porI tion of the fruits of his brilliant victories should be set apart for the widows and orphans of those who fell in battle.

LIQUID STOVE POLISH EXPLODES. BEXZIXK POLISH BLOWS IP AND BURNS TWO GIRLS IX HOME. Passengers Scorched in Car. Stove Polish is polish except when amite and fireworks in deadly combinit's Benzine Polish, and then it's dynatlon. The latest examples of the deadly energy of Benzine Stove Tolish are furnished by a couple of news items from tho "Chicago American;" "Martha Lepka, age fourteen, 25 Currier street, and Catherine Morz, twelve years old, 23 Currier street, were blackening the range in the kitchen of Mrs. Morz' home and placed the stove polish too near the fire. The polish, containing benzine, exploded, and the sheet of flame set fire to the Lepka child's dress. "The Morz girl suffered severe burns in attempting to save her playmate, but is expected to recover. The Lepka girl, the physicians say, cannot live. "The house was damaged to the extent of $300." The other benzine explosion occurred in a crowded Sergwlck street car, "when the car became filled with flames. The car, an old one, was equipped with a coal stove which had been smeared with benzine stove polish. The polish caught fire and endangered those near it. "A woman's cry gave the alarm. The stampede for the doors began. Several of the women passengers jumped to the street. "Firemen succeeded in extinguish ing the blaze with chemical appli ances." The only moral seem3 to be: Don't use liquid stove polishes containin benzine. TOBACCO GROWN IN CANADA. "Sounds funny to hear of tobacco being grown in Canada, doesn't it?" said W. J. Clancy of Toronto. "Not so much perhaps, to Wisconsin people, who know that it is grown in thi3 state, where the mercury frequently goes out of sight, but the average American thinks of the waving palms of the tropics as soon as tobacco culture is mentioned. It ia a fact, however, that the weed is now grown with great success in Ontario and other provinces in the eastern part of tho Dominion. So great have been the returns, in fact, that many farmers are giving up wheat and are planting tobacco in their fields." Milwaukee Sentinel.
