Stop This Humbug!
Common prudence should teach free
trade organs the folly of makingiroseate
predictions about the operations of the
Wilson—German tariff as a revenue
measure. When the fiscal year closed
on J une 30 these organs were jubilant—
ly asserting that the entire deficit for
the next six months would not exceed
ten millions. The deficit shown by the
Treasury figures for the single month
of July is $9,210,000. This showmg
has been made by systematically sup-
pressing regular payments for a week,
and by cutting down all government
expenditures for the last two days of
the month to a little over two hundred
thousand dollars, when in the natural
course of events they would have been
about two millions and a half. _ The
actual July deficlt is at least $12,000,—
000. It is probably much nearer 3515,—
000,000.

'No lndlans to Fight.
It turns out that the savage Indians
who had congregated in Jackson’s Hole
with a view to the massacre of all the
white people in the neighborhod were
in fact huddled to-gether there to de-
fend themselves.
The only massacre that has occurred
was the lawless slaughter of a number
of indians, and their comrades quite
justifiably concentrated in a mountain
Easiness for mutual protection. Learn-
ing that the United States'troops were
coming, they knew they would be safe
and they appear to have made off to
their reservations.
It is clearly evident not only that the
whites were the aggressors, but that
the Indians did not even hit back; It
is furthermore evident that the alarm-
ing stories sent east from Wyoming
were deliberately concocted wrth in-
terested motives, partly to embroil the
Indians and get their hunting privileges
curtailed by the government, and
partly for the pleasure and p1 ofit to be
derived from the presence of the troops
There will be no fighting, and Gen-
eral Coppingcr will take care that the
Indians get fair play. If the whole
charge of the Indians were entrusted
to the W ar Department, there would
be no more wars nor rumors of wars.
The Gem of the Ocean.
The Columbia’sperformance on her
runlfrom Southampton to New York,
which she made inside of seven days,
establishes her position as the swiftest
mau-of—war afloat. This is equal to the
ordinary time of the very fast passen-
ger steamers, and while she did not, of
course, equal the exceptional record
made by the fastest of them, she came
without forcing, as to
so near to it,
justify the belief that she could, if re-
quired, overtake any of the “grey-
hounds,” and certainly could not be
overtaken. ’
Recalling the alarm about the Colum-
bia’s supposed straining in the dry
dock, and considering also that she was
provided with only ordinary coal and
was without her full complement of
engineers, this performance is most
gratifying, and must be particularly
so to the officials of the Navy Depart-
ment and to the Philadelphia ship-
builders by whom the magnificent
cruiser was created. It will draw re-
newed attention to the class of vessels
of which she is the type and in the de-
velopment of which the United States
may fairly be said to have taken the
lead. -
Not since the old days of the sailing
frigates have we been able to feel the
same pride in a representative vessel of
our navy that the Columbia inspires.
We have not unwisely allowed other na-
tions to carry on the costly experiments
in pondcrous battleships and coast de-
fenders, and have been able to profit
by what they have thus learned. In
the modern swift cruiser we have struck
out upon a line more nearly parallelwith
the achievements characteristic of the
old navy, and it is on this line that we
may expect the glory of our new navy
to be won.

Where is It ? 0’
Where is the South Norwalk Elm
Tree Innoculation Company? That
most worthy institution which scattered
its agents throughout the stile to seat-
ter the pesky beetle .that thrives so
industriously on our principal shade
supply. The wily agent flourished his
brace and bit, declared by all that Was
sacred that if he could be permitted to
bore a good sized hole in the base of
your pet elm and 1nject a squirt-gun
full of prune juice, the beetle would be
a thing of the past and be recorded in
the pages of history as a “has been.”
If be induced you to allow it, he
charged you a dollar a tree, and the
chances were, when it was time for the
beetle, the tree was in a fair way to be-
come a thing of the past and a “has
been” shade supplier. The agent was
a most cheerful prevaricator, but his
boss or the man who discovered this
great preventative was a successful leg-
puller.—-Danbury Dispatch.

Rattler Bite and Whiskey.
Things were unusually quiet in Hu-
ber’s Fourteenth street Museum New
York when the performance opened
yesterday afternoon. There were but
few spectators. The leading lady in the
woodsawing contest had just finished
an argument with the gentleman who
eats grass upon the difference between
the shucks of butternuts and walnuts
when "Rattlesnake Jack” the alleged
husband of Snake charmer Dot Sou-
well, formerly of East Norwalk, climb-
ed into his den of snakes and began his
turn. On a platform erected near the
middle of the main floor stood the cage
containing his twenty pets, seven of
which are rattlers. He picked up with
his left hand a rattler nearly seven feet
long, and began his patter. “ ’Ere we
are, ladies and gents,” he began, strok-
ing the reptile with his disengaged
hand,” “ ’ere we are, a purely Ameri-
can product in the wenom line. ’E be-
longs to the family C'rotalidoe, and the
poison varies in intensity according to
the season, climate, and rigor—ouch!
Good Lord 1 ”
Jack ended the sentence with a yell.
I‘he rattler, which had been swaying
its flat head from side to side in a rest~
less manner, had made -a sudden dart
and bit the charmer on the third finger
of the right hand.
Jack climbed out of the enclosure and
called for whiskey. One of the atten-
dants ran out and reappeared with a
large glassful of red liquor, which he
said was liquor. “If Jack downs that
he’s a dead man!” cried the lady with
the beard.
“It can’t be any worse than the snake
bite,” said the charmer, and he drank
the liquor neat. Then some one got a
cord and tied it around his wrist tight,
after which Jack took a Third avenue
cable car to Twenty-sixth street, and
ran all the way from Third avenue to
Bellevue Hospital.
He said that he was John Sonwell, 32
years old, and that he lived at 156 East
100th street. He had a great time at
the hospital. First, a pint of whiskey
was poured clown him; then a large
dose of aromatic spirits of ammonia,
aft3r which he was turned over to Dr.
Flanders in Ward 2,who gave him some
more whiskey. The cord was then
tightened about the wrist and hypo-
dermic injections of permanganate of
potash and digitalis were given. Then
more whiskey. .
“How is the patient, doctor?” asked
a visitor a short time after. -
“Most gloriously drunk,” replied Dr.
Flanders, briefly.
Sonwell will be all right in a few
days. He is the husband of Dot Son-
well, who has also taken snake bite and
whiskey on divers occasions. They
had Sonwell at Bellevue with a snake
1 bite in J une, 1891.

THE DUNlNT MYSTERY
An Alleged Iinportant Witness Against
the Accused Man.
SMELT BURNING CLOTHES.
The Clark. Evidence. Which Would Have
Favored Durant, Is Now Considered
Worthless, and No Effort Will
- Bo Made to Obtain It.
SAN Faancrsco, Aug. r..—The police
have learned of a witness whose story, if
repeated in court, may prove disastrous to
Theodore Durant’s defense against the
murder charges with which he is dealing.
The new Witness is a Woman, and it is
said she declares that on the night of the
murder of Minnie Williams, Durant arrived
home very late and burned something,
probably clothing, in a stove before he re-
tired to his bedroom.
The young medical student claims that
on the night Minnie Williams met her
tragic fate he escorted two; young ladies
home from the reception at the Vogel resi-
dence, andthen went to his own abode on
Fair Oaks street, where he remained until'
about 5 o’clock the following morning.
The police have contended all along—
that Durant strangled Minnie Williams
before he went to Dr. Vogel’ s and after
the reception returned and hacked her
with a knife. The story on which they
are now working follows up this cleW.
Mrs. Durant, the mother of the accused,
has stated that her son arrived home on
that eventful night about the same time
as usual and went directly to bed. This
story has been directly contradicted by a
woman who claimed she stopped at the
Durant house that night. She has told a
feminine friend of hers that she was
awakened by the noise which Durant
made getting into the house.
“I heard a noise down stairs, ” she said,
“made by somebody who was at the stove.
Mrs. Durant called out, ‘Is that you,
Theodore?’ The answer came, ‘Yes.’
“ ‘What are you doing down there?’
asked the young man’s mother. ‘I am '
burning some old letters of mine,’ he re-
plied. I paid no more attention to the
matter, . but soon detected the odor of
burned 'clothing. It was long after mid-
night when this occurred, and I thought
nothing more of the matter until I heard
that Theodore was charged with the mur-
der of Minnie Williams. Then the expe-
rience of that night came back to me. But
I have kept my Own counsel, as I do not
Wish to get mixed up in the matter.’
The Police Reticent.
The police authorities are very reticent
as to this important Witness, but the 'gen-
eral impression is that they have located
her and will have her in court at the
proper time.
Captain Lees, chief of detectives, in
speaking of the subject admitted that he
had heard the story, but would give no in-
formation regarding the identity of the
witness. In fact, he denied that he knew
her. ‘
“The only way in w lch such a matter
could be effective,” sat he, “would be to
have the witness tell her story on the
stand. I have heard that the lady has told
the story, but whether she will tell it in
court is another matter.’
Charles H. Clarke did not see Bl nche
Lamont with a man who looked like heo-
dore Durant, but who was not Durant, on
a Powell street car on April 3, the day
Miss Lamont was murdered in Emanuel
church. Therefore Clarke’s depositions
will not be taken in Boston to be used at
the trial of Durant, and the testimony of
three young girls that they saw Durant
and Miss Lamont on the car will go un-
challenged so far as Clarke was Concerned.
Mrs. Clarke, wife of the man who is
now in Boston, made a statement to Cap-
tain Lees, District Attorney Barnes, Eu-
gene Deuprey and John H. Dickinson,
which proves Conclusively that Clarke
eculd not have been on a Powell street
car at the time Blanche Lamont is known
to have taken her last street car ride. She
has also exhibited a letter from Clarke to
herself, written from Boston, in which he
states that he was mistaken as to the (late.
The Clarke Story.
The letter says that Clarke was riding
on the dummy of :1 Powell street car and
sitting close to him was a young lady, es-
corted by a young man. At the corner of
Powell and Market streets the young lady
took a transfer to a Market street car.
The young man took no transfer. Clarke
stated that he saw the couple separate, and
he heard the young man say, "Goodby,
Miss Lamont, ” as he raised his hat and
left her. It is.known that on April 3, the
day Blanche Lamont was murdered, Clarke
was at his mother’s bedside all day, until
4:30 in “the afternoon. It Was therefore
impossible for him to have seen Miss La:
mont on a street car that day. Clarke’s
mother, Mrs. Mulrae, came here from Los
Angeles about April 1 and had a surgical
operation performed. On April 3 she was
very ill, and because of that illness, Mrs.
Clarke remembers the date. On that date
larke arose at 8 o’clock, and after break-
fast Went to his mother’s house, where he
remained all day. Mrs. Clarke remembers
a day that Clarke could have seen Miss La-
mont with a man, but it Was not the day
the girl was murdered. It Was a Week
prior to April 8. As a result of these de-
velopments the police are much pleased.
Clarke’s testimony as outlined by the de-
fense would have seriously affected the
case of the prosecution against Durant.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.-—-Baron Harden-
