PoiS Lau'-e jte of En^lani passed away quietly in his home at Haslemere, where he had been lying at the point of death for three weeks. On the last night tha household at Aid worth, his country seat, remained ur> watching of. tha hoHqitin and waitine for his death. Sir Andrew Clark, Dr. Dabbs, Lady Tennysou, Hrtllatn Tennyson and an old family servant were in the sick chamber at the fatal moment. His death was painless, and he retained consciousness until the encJ. Sketch ot His Career. Alfred Tennyson, the first B von Tennvsod. was born August C. 1809. at the rectory of Somorsbv, a quiet village of Lincolnshire, Enrlanri. He was the fourth of twelve children, eight sons and four daughters. His ancestry is described as a good one, and industrious genealogists have traced his lineage back through many noble names to King Edward I. H is father, the Rev. Dr. Georgo Clayton < Tennyson, was then the rector of Somersoy. He married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Stephen Fiytctie, vicar of Louth. From his father Alfred received his early * education, including an intimacy with outof-door nature, and practice in verse-making. Later he was 6ent with his elder brother eharlas to a grammar school at Louth. In 1829 Alfred entered Trinity ^OllejjQ Cambridge, where his tutor was Whewell, >?^d his comrades included Thackeray, Milnes (Lord Houghton), Spedding, Trench, Alford, Kemble and Kinglabe. He took the Chancellor's prize there (1829) for a poem on a given subject?"Timbuctoo" i ?and he seems to have been looked upon by all who knew him as a scholar of ratv promise: but he did not graduate, and for a number of yaars after leaving the University he led an extremely quiet and meditative life, avoiding society, but enjoy ' nf a fow intimate 1HSC to? uuuaaiuuai ? ?h%o w. ? -? friends, among whom Arthur Hallam, the son of the historian, was the dearest and the most brilliant. Before he left the University he published his first avowed volume, a little collection of '"Poems, Chiefly Lyrical" (London 1830). After tbe publication of bis second volume (183'J) Tennyson remained silent for ten years. "The Princess," his first long poem, appeared in 1847. In the year of the publication of "In Memoriam" (1850) Tennyson received, with universal approval, tbe appointment of Poet Laureate, in succwsion to "Wordsworth. Five years later he gave us "Maud," which was more vehemently discussed than any of his previous productions. ' Tiie pef-aonality of Tennyson is unknown to the general public, he having, with increased care and energy as age advanced, shut himself up in the privacy of bis house and grounds. Lord Tennyson at one time made a practice of running up to London at least once a year, and roaming about, as far as possible unrecognized, but no one could pass him by without turning to look at one ot tbe strangest figures that ever trod the streets of modern London. A tall, round-shoul dered man, growing stout in these later years, he always walked with a stick, and gave the impression that he was not entirely free from gout. A. long beard covered his face, and he looked out through a pair of large spectaoles upon a world which, on the whole, he was rathor inclined to despise. In supplement of his spectacles there dangled across the somewhat shabby-looking tweed dustcoat a pair of ( gold-rimmed pince-nez. The tweed dust- I coat, in color a musty red, was evidently an f acquaintance of many years, and had now grown too tight for him across the chest, over which it was, neversuemss, ? minedly buttoned. Dark trousers, with gaiters over his thickened boots, and a broad briaimed felt hat. probably older by some years than the tweed dustcoat, com pleted the dress of the Poet Laureate when last he was seen strudily plodding across Regent's Park. In 1884 Tennyson was create! Baron Tennyson in the peerage of the United Kingdom. He was Poet Laureate until his death and an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He recjived the degree of D. C. L. from Oxford in 1855 and was patron of the living of Grasby Vicarage, Lincolnshire, of which his brother Charles was curate from 1835 until his death in 1879. In 1850 he married Emily, daughter of Henry Sellwood, Esq. Lird Tennyson had two children? 9allam and Lionel. Hal lam was born on August 11, 1832, and was educated at Marlborough College and at Trinitv College, Cambridge. He married, in 188 J, Audrey Georgians Florence, daughter of Charles "John Boyle, and granddaughter of the Vice-Admiral Courtenay Boyle, third son of the seventh Earl of Cork. She was then thirty years old. They have no children. Lionel was born in 1854 and was edu' ited at Eton and at Trinitv College, Cambridge. On February 28, 1878, he married Kleanor Mary Bertha, only child of 1 'rwlpriek lacker, the DOet. and tlis first wife, Lady Charlotte* Christian Bruce, laughter of the seventh Earl of Elgin, who is tamous as an ambassador and for his collection of marbles. Lionel served some time in the India Office and died in India on April 30, 18S6, leaving three sons?Alfred Browning Stanley, barn 1S7S; Charles Brace 1/scker, born 1879, ?inct Michael Sell wood, born 1SS3. CKESPO WINS. He Defeats the Venezuelan Government Forces at Los Teques. IX rauiegram iiuiu ua uuayta, ? cuctucia, says A desperate battle has juat taken place at Los Teque.-, a small town on the railroad line to Valencia, at a c'istance about equal between that place and Caracas. Six hundred were killed and many high Government officials captured. Crespo has struck another decisive blow, which, following: UDon his previous successes since the revolution began in last March, means victory for the Crespitas. Caracas was more than ever excited, for at a distance of but ten miles from its city limits, Crespo had signally defeated the Government forces. Crespo announced hia determination to enter the capital next day. From details received the light was a most bloody one, 60") me a being left deatl on tbe field of battle. Considering the sizs of the contending armies, this indicates serious fighting on botti sides. But stubborn us was the resistance of the Government levies, they had to fly before the Crespitas and were utterly routed. Crespo had at hi? disposal some 14,000 men, including 6000 brought to him by General Colino. who joined him some days ago at Valencia. Under Crespo were Generals Vegas and Quintana, who started, so ne days ago, by different roads, on the way to Caracas, their objective point. The revolutionist general nossessed twelve pieces of artillery and hal the assistanca of several Americans, besides that of General Widener, a German, and General Betalli, an Italian. General Pulido, au uncle of the acting President, was in command of the Government forces, numbering 6000. and went to Los Teques, to take up a position in order to rep9l Cresno's advance on the caoital, which was thus denuded ol' troops. This defeat robs Acting President Viilagas Pulido of his army. AU the Government officials at Los Toques * Pl*MidpriClsl WQU loose auuiuifouj IUJ, - ?army were reported to be prisoners in Crespo's camp. Crespo lias made a formal demand for the lurrender of the Capital of Venezuela. Americans resiaing there feel somewhat ecure, as the Chicago is close in shore, with her guns loaded an:l trained and ready to protect Uncle Sam's subjects. mBS.

The half of the double card containing the message to which a reply is desired, is three and a-half inches wide by five and a-half inches long. At the top of the card and a little to the left of the centre are engraved in three lines, one above the other, the words j "Postal Card with Paid Reply," "United States of America," and in smaller type, "This Side is for Address Only."

At the lower left-hand corner are the words, "Detach Annexed Card for Answer." The whole is enclosed in a tasteful border. The face of the return card, in general effect, is similar to the message card. Instead, however, of the words "Postal Card With Paid Reply" at the top of the card, are the words "Reply Postal Card.'1 Over the vignette of General Grant the words "Reply Card" are substituted for "Message Card."

Daring Scheme of Farmers to Steal 3000 Acres of Land. A plot of Iowa farmers to steal 3930 acres of Nebraska land by changing the course of the stream was revealed a few days ago when the courts stopped the work. An injunction was secured and the property owners who were ibout to be despoiled went in search of the nieves. The farmers planned to change the 3003 acres from the Nebraska side by digging big trenches and directing the river into a aew channel. If the discovery had not come a score of lives might have been lose when the flood-gates were opened. Although the plotters have been at work since last June, they conducted their opera - tions so secretly none suspeunsu mu io?> design. Emboldened by success, they became reckless and attempted to rush the work through. The Nebraska land-owners discovered what was going on and at once took summary proceedings to check ooerations. At J.30 in the afternoon Sheriff Whitney, of Sarpy County, served the restraining order issued by Judge Scott that put a stop to the work, and now two great ditches?one 400 teet long and the other 150 feet long, seven feet deep and five feet wide, with great mounds of freshly turned earth along either ride?are the silent witnesses of the big rteai. The Missouri River describes a wind al --* ? of T?a1 latrno a. fav HOSH a cuuipioic uuwio av w ?v. n iles south of Omaha, Only a narrow neck >t land joins the land within the wind and the rest of the State. The farmers ditched across this neck, mo wing that when the river rushed through t wou'd destroy all trace of their work and they would be 3000 acres richer by the law if accretion. The contractor digging tus ditch says Adner, Wrizht and Jenkins are the names of the men who hired him to do the work, rhe excitement is great in South Omaha and Bellevue. The property involved is worth over $125 900, and should the perpetrators of the plot appear in the neighborhood they would be roughly handled. The Nebraska authorities are going to demand of Iowa that the land-grabbers be jeverely punished. Condition of the Public Debt. The statement of the condition of the public debt and Treasury on September 30 shows rtnHnir fchA month in the debt of $708,255.50, and an increase of cash in the Treasury of 12,743,573.66, & net decrease of debt of $8,451,829.16. The total interest bearing debt is $585,031, 170; debt on which interest has ceased since maturity, $2,510,145 20; debt bearing o interest, $378,976,848.87; total debt, $966,518,164.13. The cash balance in the Treasury, exclusive of the $100,000,000 gold reserve, was $31,S9<|918.34. Of tnis amount fl6.275,S38.6l was on deposit in National banks 10 the credit of disbursing officers and on general account. Coin in the Treasury consisted of $240,fi05,908.50 gold, azamst which certificates amounting to $146,555,989 had been issued, and $454,725,783.31 silver, with $329,469,304 certificates outstanding against it. The statement of receipts and disburse* meats snows mac iae cnoiera quai am/mg did not affect customs receipts, as it was feared it would. The total receipts for the month were S31,841,278.68, against $28,001,247.25 in September, 1*91, ana the increase was almost entirely from the Custom House. Last month the customs due footed up 117,209,947.88; iu September, 1891, they were $14,120,940.30. Exoenditures jast month were $28,917,798.74, against $23,934,801:19 a year ago. tensions were chargeable with the greater part of the increase, being $12,654,387.13. In September, 1891, the payments on that account were $6,632,878.75. Suffering Hamburg. A late cablegram from Hambarg, Germany says: There have been ninety-eight fresh cases of cholera, thirty-one deaths and " - - ? ? 159 burials. In the hospitals am penwu? aro under treatment. In Alt>na there have been nine fresh cases and Ave deaths. The Hamburg Council has asked for permission to borrow 12,500,000 to be used in tearing down condemned buildings and erecting others in their places. Although tne theatres are full and the variety shows and bear saloons have rarely done a heavier business, the suffering in the city is extreme. In Hammerbrook nine persons died of typhoid fever, Induced by insufficient nourishment. Seven of them were in the families of clerks who have been dismissed on account of the lull in trade. The speedy revival of business has not come us was expected. Many shops open dally, yet no general re sumption of trade has been effected. In the Spitaler, Stein, and Neiden streets no busi " J T?> t-ho whnla Ht.p QODO I]ess at an ia uuuc. vuu ?Mv.w -? clerKs are without employment. In ttie shipping district a similar state o! distress prevails. Infant mortality is increasing. The physicians fear that the scarcity of food and clothe* among the unemployed will result in a series of minor epidemics throughout the winter. Chulera's Kavajjes in China. Letters from Chung King, China, give aocounts of terrible mortality from cholera. The disease even attacked the missionaries. The wife of Dr. Kilburn of the Canadian Methodist Mission died only a few weeks after her arrival and before she was fairly settled in her new home. On August 14 Dr. James Cameron of the China Inland Mission died. He was the oldest member of his mission and had traveled in the eighteen provinces. The cholera be* ean in Aoril, and was especially bad in July, being aggravated by the intense heat. On twenty out of twenty-seven days in July the mercury rose above 100 degrees. The natives estimated that between thirty and forty thousand Chinese had perished of cholera up to August 1. Grant's Physician Gone. Dr. Douglass, who attended General Grant during his last illness, died in Washington CiT a few days ago. He contracted, it is presumed, from his illustrious patient the same disease?cancer of the throat. When called to attend General Grant Dr. Douglass had a splendid practice as a throat specialist, but he sacrificed it in close attendance upon his patient, at Mount McGregor. Subsequently the doctor's health failed and later the cancer developed. Being debarred from practice by illness. Dr. Douglas went to Washington to reside with a daughter, who holds a position under the Government. Hs died a poor man. Killed His Wife and Himself. David Cade, aged thirty-two, and his wife, ?ged twenty-one, separated about two inoncns ago on account ot msano jealousy tnd cruelty on his part. At noon the other day they accidentally met In a small store ear Whitehall, 111. The moment his wife entered the room Cade drew a revolver and shot her twica through the head, killing her instantly. He then sent a bullet into his own brain, and died nn hour after. They had been married about five years. The Wisconsin Apportionment Case. The Supreme Court of Wisconsin denied the motion of Senator Vilas, attorney for the Secretary of State, for leave to interpose an answer ia the Legislative apportionment case, and ordered judgment for relief entered for tbe relator, tbus finally and ultimately closing the case against the Secretary of State and in favor o! the relator, C. F. Lamb. An extra session of the Legislature to enact a new law will undoubtedly be called at an early day. He Thanked, the Mob. J. W Smith, a carpenter, brutally murdered his wife and six-year-old daughter at Castela, Cal., by shooting them with a shotgun and afterward cutting the child's throat. Smith had been drinking. Next night a mob of twenty-five went from Duntmir, took Smith from the officers, who were* en route to Redding with him, and hanged him. Smith thanked the mob and said he Was glad to be hanged.

Four Desperadoes and Four Citizens Were Killed. A dispatch from Coffey ville, Kau., says The Dalton gang of outlaws, the most notorious in the West, was wiped off the fact of the earth here a few days ago, but in th< battle which resulted in their exterminatioi three good citizans were killed and twc fatally wounded. The desperadoes, who hRd grown holder as they thought 'thej were above all law. ann that the officers ol the countv were powerless against them, attempted to raid the banks of Coffeyville, their old home, and met the fate which thej so well merited. This was their first at tempt at bank robbery and their last piece of outlawry. The six outlaws came into town together on horseback about 9:33 o'clock, and, leav" -t?? ?11?a i ing ineir norses id an uiiey, namou mpiuit | across the square. Four entered Condon's Bank and two the First National. At Condon's Bank the desperadoes were told by Cashier Ball that the lock would not be open until 10 o'clock. Holding their Winchesters on Ball and Teller Carpenter, they said they would wait, taking, meanwhile, the money in the drawer. Bob and Ecnmett Dalton were the two who took in the First National. Here were Cashier Ayres, his son Bart, and Teller W. H. Shepperd. They were forced to give up all the money in the safe, which was hastily shoved into bags. The Daltons then forced the three men out of the front door and folio we 1 right after them. The alarm had in the mean time been given, and as the outlaws appeared George Cubine, a merchant, and Express Agent Cox shot one of them, badly wounding him. The outlaws then returned the fire, killing Cubine. The robbers In Condon's Bank shot a. - * ?^? J ? ? klffinrr A trrnc onrl OUt OL till) niuuuw, uiifvw^ UMM Brown. Both robbers then ran back through the bank, when they met Baldwin and fatally wounded him. The citizens being thoroughly aroused by this time, were hot and heavy after them, and, after a fight in which City Marshall Connely was killed, succeeded in killing the four desperadoes named and mortally wounding Emmett. Jim Spears, a livery stable keeper, with his Winchester rifle killed three of the out. taws in as many seconds. This created such a diversion that other citizsns were enabled to get close enough to kill another of the robbers. The two remaining robbers dropped their plunder and mounted their horses, but a poS3e was quickly in pursuit, and one more of the bandit gang fell from his horsa mortally wounded about two miles from rr" ~ ??'?*af man Koino* nilT town. 1 ne sum uuu iaou t? sued at last accounts. The roan who got away was Allie Ogee. This is the old home of the Daltons, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the world should be rid of tne gang here. Great excitement prevails, and if the other man is found he will be summarily dealt with. The large rewards for the capture of the outlaws, dead or alive, will, if the citizens' wishes are respected, go to the families of the murdered citizens. All of the money wu recovered to a cent and turned over to the bank. that lost it. Emmett Dalton has made a partial confession that his gang was the same that robbed the Pacific Eroress car on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway, at Adair station In the Indian Territory in July last, and sommitted other daring robberies. Th* news was telegraphed to Parsons ihortly after 10 o'clock, and General Superintendent Frev, of the Missouri, Kansas tnd Texas Railroad, with his special ?r, in which were thirty or fortj trusty citizens with Winchesters and ihotguns came to Coffeyville t< issist in running the desp9ridois to bay. rhey found on their arrival that there was but little work for them to do, as the plucky inhabitants at Coffeyville had wound up the careers of the desperadoes. The dead were: Bob Dalton, Grant Da'ton. Tom Heddy, tnd an unidentified desperado, making foui dead outlaws: C. T. Connely, Marshal ol Coffeyville; George Cubine, merchant; Charles Brown, shoemaker. Fatally wounded?Eramett Dalton, des perado, Thomas G. Ayres, Cashier of the First National Bank; Lucius Baldwin, clerl in Brown's shoe store. Slightly wounded?T. A. Reynolds, Louii Deitz. The bodies of those of the attacking party who were killed were removed to their respective home?, while those of the dead bandits were allowed to remain where the; had fallen until the arrival of the Coroner from Independence, who ordered them removed to the Court House. There he held ai inquest, the jury returning a verdict in ac cordance with the facts. During the time the bodies remained it the square they were viewed by hundreds ol the people of this and surrounding towns who, having heard of the battle, came ii swarms to inspect the scene. The Daltons were a numerous family. There were five boys and three girls. 0 the boys, two are engage! la iarming one in Oklahoma, where the motnei of the family lives, and one near Coffey ville, where three of the brothers met 4-L.i.

About two hundred and fifty feet of ti mill fence, or as it is known at Homestoac Penn., the Palisade to Fort Frlcfc, was tor down the other afternoon by workmen frot the Carnegie firm, and next day the oufce mill yard from the restaurant to th company's stores was open. The retnainde of the feoce along Eighth avsnue was al? removed. The company officials say that tha r*aso for tearing down the fence Is that so far ? they are concerned the strike is practical! over, and they desire operations to continu just as they cud in May.

The first and fundamental principle of marketing is to pay cash. The panbook system is one of tho greatest curses to the laboring man and ought to be banished from our land. Keep, instead, a daily expense book, and post up once every month, and you will know what it costs to furnish your table every week, and every meal, too, if you carry ycur division far enough. If possible deal with a cash grocer, aud the one having the largest assort* ment of goads. You can buy more advantageously by having a large stock and different grades from which to select. Though it is an axiom in eook book literature that the best is the cheapest, the careful buyer will often find intermediate grades in many articles that answer lully as well as the higher priced ones. Buy as many things by the quantity as possible, and beware of buying potatoes by the half peck, ot sugar by the quarter's worth. The small measure goes along with the passbook and is the grocer's own harvest.? St. Louis Ropublic. AN ECONOMICAL TABLE COVER. By the following method a simple, cheap table corer for a table or stand may be quickly made: A heavy, double-faced canton flannel is now manufactured in various colon, having the nap on both sides, and can be found on sale at nny house furnishing store. Either this or the single-faced can be used, but the double-faced is preferable on account of its extra thickness. The shade can be selected to match the furniture. When cut into suitable size it is bordered with a contrasting shade of the same material of. any desired width, and folded so as to leave the fold for the outside edge, and stitched on. ' To cover the same sew on a strip of velvel or velveteen, with cross (or feather), stitch of filoselle or contrasting shade. Gold is preferable. This comes in all colors, costs but a trifle, and each thread can he snlit in two or three strands. ? -r? f This table cover should not be exposed to a glaring light, as this material, being all cotton, will not hold color welL Bid for ordinary use it is durable enough and quite inexpensive.?Detroit Free Press.

Some one has estimated that at least one-fourth of the world knows nothing of the use of forks, and fully one-quarter of the men, women and children in it gat with their finger. The Egyptians ind Turks pride themselves on their cleanliness in the use of their fingers rather than forks, and give a very ingenious excuse for the practice. Fcrks, :hey say, have been in some other man's nouth, and you have to depend upon four servants for their cleaning. These people wash their hands before sitting iown to table or squatting arouna tae neal on the floor, and they take up the norsels of food with thin pieces of bread,, rolling it around such food or sopping it in the soup. They use their bands in tiding in the carving and tear rather ;hau cut their roasted fowls. An Epitaph. Mr. J. W.
