ONE BURGLAR KILLED
Butler's Brave Defense of his
Employer's Property.
HE, HIMSELF, BADLY WOUNDED
Physicians Unable to Tell Whether He
Will Recover or Not la Bis
Second Experience.
San Fbancisco, Feb. 14. Frank
Miller, a butler in the house of J.
' Franklin, at 2930 California street, sijot
and killed a burglar this morning and
was himself shot and wounded by a bur
glar. Three burglars were engaged in
an attempt to loot the house.
John A. Anderson, the dead burglar.
was left below to keep watch and the
other two went up stairs. Miller, who
sleeDS in a small room in the basement
heard Anderson moving about the kitch
en, and went after him with a pistol
Anderson was also armed, and the men
commenced firing at each other, each
one firing four shots.
The noiee of the shooting caused an
officer to rush to the houee where he
found Miller unconscious and the burg
lar dead. Anderson was shot through
the temple, and his dead body was found
lying on top of Miller. The latter was
snot through the neck. The other two
burglars escaped.
Miller was too weak this morning
to
give any account of the shooting, but he
said there were three burglars con
cerned.
Miller and Anderson evidently had
desperate struggle, as there was a great
deal of blood on the floor. The other
members of the household were aroused
by the shooting:, but by the time they
reached the lower part of the house
was all over an.d they stumbled oyer the
two bodies on the floor.
Physicians were sent for at once, and
it was necessary to make a bed for Mil
ler just where he lay, as he was injured
too seriously to move around much. It
is supposed the other two burglars made
their escape while the shooting was in
progress.
One year ago a robbery was attempted
in the same house, and the thieves, as
in the present case, were discovered and
driven off by Miller, but not until the
latter had been kicked and beaten into
insensibility. It is believed this morn'
ing's robbery was by the same persons
as they showed great familiarity with
the premises, haying cut the electric
- light wires before beginning operations,
thus leaving the house in total dark
ness.
Anderson was afterwards identified by
the police. He was a native of Sweden
and a sailor, and had served a term in
San Quentin for burglary. In his
pockets were found newspapers clippings
referring to the street-car robbery at the
Ingleside race trace last December, and
it is believed he was concerned in that.
Miller remained practically uncon
scious all the morning, and it is not
known yet whether he will recover or
not.
TERE1BLE CHARGE.
Accused of Attempting to Assassinate
His Entire Family.
Chicago, Feb. 14. John Kochler is in
jail in this city, accused of attempting
to have an assassin kill his entire family,
The alleged plot, it is claimed, was frus
trated by three men. These are John
Meade, a miner in West Superior, Wis.
a tramp by force of circumstances; Cap
tain Schuettler, of the 'Sheffield-avenue
police station, and John Banmer, of the
same station, who disguised himself as a
tramp, and, it is said, was hired to com
mit the-murder.
Kochler broke down when arrested
and was so limp that officers had to
carry him to a patrol wagon. He is an
Alsatian and has amassed a small fortune
in Chicago, where he has lived for 15
years. Four months ago he . married
Mrs. Frederika Tnbbecke, who had, be
sides a handsome face and form, a
four story brick house on Claybourne
avenue, from which she derived a snng
income by taking in boarders. Despite
these things, the widow brought suit for
$10,000 damages for breach of promise
before Kochler married her. The suit
was begun last summer. When at last
the ceremony was performed, the wife, it
is said, had the whip-hand and enforced,
as a condition of the union, that in
case of the death of either the combined
property should revert to the survivor.
. ,The affections of the couple began to
cool soon after marraige, and it was not
a month before quarrels were frequent.
Three yonng children of the wife by her
first husband were the cause f many of
the difficulties. The many deputies fin
ally led to a separation, and then the
ninfc to murder the woman and the
children followed.
: General WejTer's Flans.
New Yobk, Feb. 14. A dispatch from
Havana says:
It is learned, unofficially, that Gener
al Weyler will personally take the field
very soon. '
Captain-General Weyler'a purpose is
said to be to place bis command between
the armies of Gomez and Maceo, in the
neighborhood of Ouivan, and force one
or both to give battle immediately.
Insurgents Defeated.
, Havana, Feb. 14. A dispatch from
Santiago de Cuba says the insurgent
leader Felix Denis has been killed in an
engagement with the Spanish troops an
92 of his followers surrendered to the
authorities.
Clean Minstrelsy.
The ears of music-lovers were suffi
ciently delighted at the Baldwin Saturday
eveniner. where for three hours the
Georgia University Graduates retained
the undivided attention of a hoase full of
people with bewitching music, pleasing
specialties and uproarious tun. . The old
time minstrel show is giving way of late
years to a more refined production, and
the Georgia University Graduates
thoueh a colored troupe, are in th
van.
There was nothing Saturday night
that would shock the sensibilities of the
most ortho Jox, but on the contrary, the
most devout Christian, had he attended
the performance, wcud have found the
purest of legitimate fun to amuse him
he could have extracted political wisdom
from a stump speech ; found precepts in
the sparkling dialogue; he could have
even found praise for the Creator in en
dowing the human voice with the qual
lty of music, for it reached its highest
expression iu the melody of the'fiuwanee
river quartette, and demonstrated anew
the fact that the unaccompanied natural
voice is as much above every human
contrivance for expressing the divinest
harmony, as the heavens are above the
earth. The fact should not cause won
der or doubt. The voice is of heavenly
and the violin of earthly origin. The
wares of each cannot but continue the
proportion that exists in their makers,
The solos of Bessie Gillam and Eillen
Watkins were of surpassing sweetness.
and in chorus tilled a niche of their own
that made the melody complete. The
bass of Jack M. Oliver was mellow and
penetrating and the tenor of A. McKinzie
of great clearness and compass. There
was little of the old fashioned tambo and
bones work just enough between the
musical selections to keep the taste from
palling, as it surely will in a purely
musical program, if even first-class
without some diversion of a different
character. The regulation stump speech
was made, and a very good hit made by
an imitation of the impassioned elo
quence of a campaign orator, drilling the
audience to vote solidly for the princi
pies enunciated. Altogether the excel
lence of the show agreeably surprised
many who attended it, and a general
and generous applause greeted the well
balanced company as the curtain closed
on the final act.
Will Repeat the Entertainment.
A large number of children, and a con
siderable sprinkling of older folks aa
well, were amused, instructed and en
tertained at the M. . church last even
ing by "Sanders Wonderland." The
grandeur of nature is most realistically
produced on a screen, complete in detail
and coloring. Next to a personal visit
to Yellowstone National Park, with its
sublime canyons and waterfalls, its won
derfnl geysers and glacial relics, a last
ing impression can be better gained by
looking at the immense pictures 'fifteen
feet square that are so accurately repro
duced on a plain muslin surface. Some
scenes are shown as they appear at sun-
Bet, at noon day and at moonlight, a
very unusual and sublime sight. -
A glimpse of tonight's entertainment
was given last evening by showing a few
scenes from Malasia, including natural
scenery, flora and fauna, queer build
ings, and queer inhabitants of India,
Malay, China and Japan. These are of
intense interest and have been taken
from life at considerable cost. Comic
pictures and songs at intervals enliven
the interest. Last night the words and
music of "What a Friend We Have in
Jesus" were enlarged to occupy the
whole of the great screen. The notes
were as large as hen's eggs, and the let
ters of the song about four inches in
height. , . -

SECRETARY - SCORED
For Eef using to Spend Ap
propriation for Seeds.
NOT A VOICE IN DEFENSE
Boatner' Remarks Arouse Enthusiasm
Congress Accused of Selling
the Soeds.
Secretary Morton Scored.
Washington, Feb. 15. The attack on
Secretary Morton for his refusal to ex
pend the appropriated for seeds in the
present agricultural appropriation was
transferred from the senate to Je house
today and furnished a feature ofbe pro
ceedings in the lower house.
It was led by Baker and was support
ed by Moses, Livingston, Boatner an
Meredith. Some very harsh things were
said and applauded, especially by Boat
ner, who referred to Morton con temp tu
ously as "that individual" and not
voice was raised in his defense.
Baker led in the attack on the secre
tary for refusing to use tho seed appro-
priation in current law, the present bill
appropriating $136,000 for seeds. "We
will," he added "force Secretary Morto
to either execute the law or abandon his
office."
Boatner, however, aroused the greatest
enthusiasm by his remarks. "The feat
ure of Mr. Morton's actions which has
aroused my indignation," said he, "more
than any other is that it is based npon
sort of false pretense. As an anteceden
to bis decision that, under the terms of
the law he was not authorized to expend
the appropriation, there emanated from
the agricultural department a report de
rogatory to the congress of the United
States. It was that congressman have
been guilty of selling seeds allotted
them for distribution. As a member of
the fifty-first congress I present and die
nounce the imputation, that this body
were addicted to sell the eetds which
were alloted them for distribution, as an
infamous slander. I believe that to
abolish the system of disturbation of
seeds would be advantageous to mem
bers of congress. For every constituent
who receives a package of seeds and who
is gratified at the compliment, there are
others dissatisfied because they have not
likewise been favored. I am extremely
tired of having this body brought into
disgrace andnpontempt by the executive
officers of the government."
Livingston said Morton was a servant
of this house and he wanted him to
know he had said it. "He must either
obey this purpose or we will impeach
him."
Hansen all O. K.
London, Feb. 15. The British consult
at Archangel, capital of the Russian pro
vince of that, name- telegraphs confirm
ing the report that Nansen is safe and is
returning from the north pole.
Later advices say the first news of
Nansen's safety was sent by Kandaroff,
a local Russian official, in the Yak o tech
region, who was a member of Siberia-
koff's expedition.
Dr. Nordenskjold, who is in Christiaia,
is inclined to believe the news of Nan
sen's safety at any rate, even if it is not
true that he succeeded in discovering
the north pole.
According to the opinion of Arctic
experts here when the Fram left the
Kari sea, in 1893, she may have found
a sea to the northward free of ice, and,
pushed on until locked in. She may
then have been allowed to drift until
the expedition came to land around the
pole, and Nansen and his party may
have returned in sledges to the Siberian
islands.
'General" Kelley Again.
Omaha, Feb. 16. A new political
party was born in Omaha last night.
Two hundred laboring men organized it.
General ' nelly, of industrial army
fame, presided. Following ia the
pledge:
"Recognizing the necessity of labor
organizing for its protection, we, the
undersigned, do pledge ourselves to sup
port no political party other than the
party of 'labor, and we hereby renounce
any and all political affiliations with the
Republican, Democratic and Populist
parties."
A state and national organization will
be pushed at once.
Caused By Gasoline.
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 15. The explo
sion of gasoline in the Pullman sleeper
Wyndham about noon completely de
molished the interior of the car, badly
damaged the Pullman cars Gila and New
England, and. seriously injured Mrs.
Laura Fass, aged 30; Sadie Conroy, 25, 1
and James Richardson, the porter. The
women were cleaning the carpets of the
Wyndham with gasoline. ' By some
means the gas ignited from the stove,
and the explosion followed. The women
and porter were seriously burned and
cut. Miss Conroy will probably die.
- ?iot Yet Found.
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 15. No trace
has been found of Mrs. A. B. Cody, who
disappeared fifteen days ago, all c'ews
having proven fnlio. The water front
will now'be investigated for miles by a
steam launch in search of her body, as
the explosion of dynamite in the harbor
failed to reveal it there. A settled be
lief exists now that she is dead. The
whole coast has been searched for her by
her husband, who, came from Chicago
when informed of her disappearance.

DRESSING THE HAIR.
Some Sensible Suggestions for the Young
Ladles.
The prettiest way to arrange your
hair? Especially if it is very long, very
thick, and a most beautiful color, yet
cannot be worn hanging down in braids,
because you ara too tall for anything so
childish, nor fastened up in a graceful
Psyche knot at the back of the bend
(juite near the neck, because it is too
heavy, and comes tumbling down at in
convenient seasons. Lovely hoir, but
an embarrassment of riches, is it not?
If it were my hair, and I were the
dear young girl who finds it a bother
and a burden, I would coil it up on top
of my head and wear it like a crown.
wouldn't mind its having the effect of
making me look taller, and I would
stand up very straight, and look as tall
as I could. In my opinion height is a
beauty, and I never care about a girl's
being tall, except to admire her. Tall
girls mt mind that they carry them
selves well, and do not stoop nor crane
their head forward as if they had lost
something and were perpetually look
ing for it. You remember Tennyson's
picture, do you not, a word picture such
as only a poetcould pamt:
"A daughter of the gods,
Divinely tall, and most divinely fair."
If the coronal effect were unbecom-
ing, or gave a feeling of weight on top
of myhend, then I would braid the hair
n several strands, and mass it all over
the back of the head. I would simply
part it in the middle, and avoid fringes,
and bangs, and little curls, crimps, and
other attempts at decoration in front.
When hair has a natural wave or ripple
is very pretty, and should have its
v. ay, but straight hair ir- pretty too, and
girls should be satisfied to wear their
hair in the style nature intended for
them. Harpers' Round Table.

imenting. Depend upon One Minute

London, Feb. 17. Another blue book
on Armenia was published today, the
dispatches covering the period between
September 3, 1883, and February 11

CIEZON'S REPLY.
It Deals With Russia's Movements in
Armenia.
London, Feb. 17. Under Secretary of
the Foreign Office George N. Curzon, re
plying in the house of commons today to
questions, said the powers had not in
formed Russia that her occupation of
Armenia would not be objected to. Such
occupation, he added, wi'thout the con
sent of the sultan, would be in violation
of the treaties of Paris and Berlin. Cur-
zon also said the statement of the Rus
sian minister of toreign affairs, Prince
ixioanon uoetovsky, that Kussia was
willing to undertake to maintain order
in Armenia was spontaneous.
THE KI3IEDIAL BILL.
Itoth Sides Preparing: for a Bard fight
in Manitoba.
CnicAGO, Feb. 17. A dispatch from
Winnipeg says :
In the face of the remedial bill just in
troduced at Ottawa to restore the Roman
Catholic separate schools in this pro
vince, tho Dominion government, under
Sir Charles Tupper, will make a big ef
fort to retain the support of Manitoba's
members in the Dominion house. It has
been arranged to hold a big conservative
convention here within a fortnight, and
Sir Charles Tupper wires that he will
attend and ' fully explain the govern
ment's position on the school question
Sir Donald A. Smith, the millionaire of
Montreal, who laid the foundation for
his fortune in Manitoba, and has large
interests here, will be invited to be the
candidate for Winnipeg. Sir Donald
will arrive here during the day. Prem
ier Greenway aud his government de
cline to take any action on the school
question until they officially receive
copy of the remedial bill. Then they
will, no doubt, give notice of vigorous
resistance.
A POLITICAL CRISIS.
Condition of Affairs in France Very
Threatening;.
Paris, reb. 1. the political crisis
arising out of the demand of the senate
for a vigorous Inquiry into the Southern
railroad scandal is practically a Btruggle
between the chamber of deputies, which
has supported the radical ministry, and
the senate, which seems bent upon over
throwing it, even at the cost of serious
disturbance.
There is little excitement this morn
ing outside the newspaper offices. It is
claimed the resignation af the ministry
would not alter the matter to any great
extent, as it appears to be no longer a
question of confidence or of non-confi
dence in the cabinot. The chamber of
deputies, it is asserted, has practically,
by defying the eenate, endangered the
constitution, and the result is a condi
tion of affairs about as threatening as
any since the troublesome times ot
1870-71.
The conservatives and socialists de
mand the dissolution of parliament.
The moderates and republicans agree
that dissolution is advisable, but claim
it should take place under another
cabinet.

UNIQUE WASHING COMPETITION
How English Women Draw Visitors to

In. England when society embarks
upon some charitable enterprise usu
ally a bazar or something1 on ttiat or

baker's dozen of popular young debu

Each of the fair washerwomen is at

the elbow in true washerwoman style. '
Each competitor is supplied with a
pail, some cold water, two pegs and a
Roiled tea cloth. '
On the word "go" jeweled hands are
plunged into the water and the wash-,

methods in my physical culture class."
