VERY SAD CASE. Could Not Bear to See His Beloved Wife Go Out . TO WORK FOR OTHERS Lost His Reason and Killed Her aiul Himself?The Con pic Had Lived Happily Together Until the HusA. 1 band Lost His Health and Spent His Savings in Doctor's Rills and Medicines in Trying to (Jet Well. A pathetic case happened in New York on last Wednesday ni^ht, when Harry Dhernock awoke and found that in his sleep or in a trance he had stabbed his wife Mollie, four times, he leaped from a third-story window and crushed out his own me on the stone pavement. Mrs. Dhernock, who is in Bellevue hospital, may not recover. The cou pie lived with the wife's mother, Lena Goodman, and their five-vearold child. They had been married six years and Wednesday was their wedding anniversary. They came to this country from Russia five years ago. The couple were very happy until six months ago, when Dhernock was taken ill and had to give up his work. All the money they had saved went for physicians and medicine. When the funds were exhausted, Mrs. Dhernock, 25 years old, and pretty, went out to worK to earn a paltry sum to support the little family. The young husband brooded constantly over his ill health, and the fact that his wife had to work. Dhernock was more cheerful Wednerday and when his wife was about to start for her daily toil, he said; > "Come home early today, Mollie; you know this is our wedding anniversary We will have a little celebration; a dinner." Mrs. Dhernock was home promptly and they had a merry little party. They retired early and shortly after 3 o'clock Wednesday morning the young wife was awakened by her husband. His eves were ODen. but glazed. He appeared to look at her, but there was no gleam of intelligence in his eyes. "Mollie," he said, in an unnatural voice, "I am going to kill you." "You wouldn't do that Harry, said the wife, terrified. > Without another word Dhernock .. got out of bed and went to the dresser. He took a pair of scissors from a drawer while his trembling wife watched him, too frightened to utter a word. Returning to the side of the bed he plunged the scissors into her left breast, just over the heart. Mrs. Dhernock gave one scream, which aroused her mother. Dhernock, apparently unconscious of what he had done, walked calmly into the kitchen, sat in a chair and lit a cigarette. He was smoking indifferently when neighbors, aroused by Mrs. Goodman, rushed into the flat. Then Dhernock was awakened by the noise. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Oh, you have killed her," shouted Mrs. Goodman. Dhernock, dazed, walked into the bed room. His wife, still conscious, lay dying on the floor, while their little girl was weeping beside her. \ "What's the matter, Mollie?" asked Dhernock, his voice trembling. "Don't you know Harry, you stabbed me," whispered his wife weakly. "But I know vou didn't mean it." J "My God! Did I dc/that?" shrieked the husband. Looking intently at his wife for a moment, Dhernock rushed to the j window and leaped out. He landed } on his head in the yard, four stories below. His skull, his legs and arms 1 were broken and he received inter- s nal injuries. ; Meanwhile somebody had tele- j phoned to police headquarters and policomen from the East Twenty- ] second street station hurried to the house. Dr. Mears came in an ambulance from Bellevue hospital. Mrs. Dhernock was carried down the stairs to the ambulance. Her husband was taken from the yard and placed beside her. The young wife, with a great effort, placed her hand on his face and patted him affectionately. "Oh. Harry, you didn't mean to do - it, did you? I know you didn't," she said softly. But he did not answer. He was unconscious and never spoke again. At the hospital he died, and it is only a question of a few hours when she will follow him. After the dying couple had been removed from the house the wife's mother became hysterical and she, 1 too, was taken to Bellevue in an ambulance. Immigrants Brides.. Those American cities where the big passenger steamers land thousands of immigrants each year witness many romantic marriages between long parted lovers. Years before, the men have left their sweethearts to build a home in the land of promise across the sea. There is a long period of drudgery, and there are aching hearts on both sides of the great body of water. But in no other land is industry so quickly and surely rewarded. In time there is enough of money to bring over the promised bride. The meeting at the landing is one of joy. After satisfying the official at the landing that the bride has come to America expressly to marry the man who claims her there is a hasty marriage, with friends of their own nationality as witnesses, and the happy couple proceed on their way to live better and broader lives than was possible in their native land. Bfet. WHITE SUPREMACY I Vital to the Nation, Says an Em- q inent German Visitor. There Can Be No Equality of the Races, and the Negro Question Will Give Us Trouble. "Supremacy of the white race must be maintained. Otherwise the ^ AmpnVan ftenublic will. cro on the ii rocks." e This opinion was expressed by Dr. H. Schauinsland, one of the most eminent German scientists who is now making a tour of this country. He is in Washington making a study of the scientific departments of the Government, on which he will make a report to his government when he shall return to his home in Bremen. "It is my belief," continued Dr. Schauinsland, "that much trouble is in store for your people in the handling of the negro question. Equality of the races does not exist, except in theory. You may as well understand now that the Anglo-Saxon and Ethi- . opian will not work in common. Their 7 differences in constitution, in customs, in habits, in education?and ? merely in color?make them substan- ** tially incompatible. In the whole ? history of the world there is no in- 9 stance of the domination of the su- ? perior, by an inferior race. I use the term 'superior' and 'inferior ad- . visedly, but in no offensive way. The * time will come when a definite line j* of demarcation will be drawn be- ? tween the &hite and black races in i America. It is possible, although * not certain, thatuefDre that line is [J drawn it will be necessary for the ? whites to demonstrate their physi- ? cal, as 'well as their mental, super- V iority. To my mind, this is a prob- ? lem pregnant with serious posibili- ? ties for Americans. In the end, of P course, the result will be the triumph ^ of the white race. The blacks nec- ? essarily will have to take a subordi- " nate position. That wHi be as it * should be and will make for the best f ?n : t xu an auu iui an pcuuico. r, "I have been most impressed in n this country by your marvelous educational facilities.

The scientific, literary and j: industrial successes achieved by Am- ? erica are forming a new class in this _ country?a class of brains?from rj which nothing but good can come to all the world. ^ "One thing I hesitate to speak frankly lest I may be misunderstood. I fear many of your newspapers are r giving too much to the publication ' of sensational matters-~matters that v appeal rather to the emotions than t, to the reasoning power of readers. In America, the newspapers are more widely read than in other country on J the globe. They are, therefore, the n most powerful educators. In making t. as they do of murders, elopments and i all sorts of purely sensational sub jects of no permanent value they not l only are adding nothing to the total of human knowledge, but are, in ^ fact, detracting from the moral pow- u er of the press." j, Dr. Schauinslaud, who is accomp- ' anied by his daughter, is making a +v tour of the world in the interest of the German Government, as well as ^ of the great educational institution ci in Bremen, of wnich he is the director. ?? ai SWOKE VENGEANCE. al di s tc \ Strange Proceeding in the City of New York. . m n< Kneeling beside the body of Epi- si tania Arcara, who was stabbed by a K . . . ... .. m mysterious enemy, nis iatner, motn^r r :wo sisters, brother, wife and two 30ns swore to avenge his murder. tt This weird ceremonial took place A] in the parlor of the Arcara apart- Y? raents at Xo. 4 00 East 108th street, C( N'ew York, with a small shrine of St. je Rocco at the head of the bier and with the tali candles flickering about tj. the dimmed room. - q Little Pietro, the youngest son of the dead man, did not at first understand the oath, but his grand-father jj. then for the first time explained to ej him the meaning of the vendetta, f( that he must not rest until he had n, avenged in blood the murder of his js father. a] The lad eagerly took the oath with the rest of the family, swearing to the stature of St. Rocco that he ei would never be content until he had m slain the slayer of his father. t( ARRIVED AT SEATTLE. ai d.

"To-night and silence sinks forevrmore!" does not kindle great deeds nd strength for any sublime endeavr. Cicero said of the Epicurean reed that it was utterly to be reacted because it led to nothing worhy or generous. If death ends all, what an imposni*<a nnr oirofom nf lfl\x7Q nn wVnoh sn iety is founded! If we must wholly erish, the maxims of charity and astice and the precepts of honor and riendship are empty words. Why hould they be binding if in this life nly we have hope? What duty do re owe to the dead, to the living or o ourselves, if all will be nothing? f retribution terminates with the rave, morality is a bugbear of hulan invention. What are the sweet ies of kindred if we shall not live gain? What sancity is there to the ist wish of the dying if death is a rail instead of a door? What is obdience to laws but an insane serviude, justice an unwarrantable inringement'upon liberty, the laws of mrriage a vain scruple, and governlent an imposition upon credulity, ; death ends all? There was one nation and only one hat ever tried to destroy belief in rod and in immortality. France dereed in national convention that here was no God and death an eteral sleep. The Sabbath was abolishd, churches were turned into temles of reason, the Bible was draged along the streets by way of deision and contempt. Infidelity then eigned and frightful was its reign, ts crown was terror, its throne the uillotine, its scepture the battleaxe, ;s palace yard a field of blood, and ;s royal robes dripped with human ore. Gutters were filled with the am shreds of human flesh. Proprty was confiscated. The morning reeze and evening wind bore across he vine-clad hills of France the cries f suffering and the shrieks of teror, and to carry the metropolis and he kingdom from utter desolation he infidel authorities had to instiate the Sabbath and public worhip. Were the belief in God and timortality to die out in the human eart, the flood-gates of vice would pen wide, plunge the world into ie grave of despair, and Consign umanity to the dungeons of the amned.

And indeed were there no retribuon beyond the limits of this present fe, we should be necessarily obligi to admit one or the other of the blowing conclusions: Either that o Moral Governor of the world exts or that justice and judgment re not the habitations of His throne. If the moral government of God, le existence of which our experiice avouches, is ever to have its adlinistrations perfected and wrought > a complete actualizing of its own tanifest principles, it can only be in lother state of existence, and the auble conclusion presses upon us lat there is a future life, and that lat life is one of rewards and punhment.

[Tlear Presentation of Case as Seen in the West by President Smith of Cotton Association. The State says Mr. E. D.

To ill of these Mr. Smith replied, "TT 11 -.u.

"If ever there was a time when the conditions were clear and unmistakable* without there being any complications, it is now. It is a clear case of pure speculation against real conditions.

Yet in the face of all these favorable conditione the price has dropped from 2 1-2 cents to 3 cents per pound. Why? Because a few speculators, who neither grow nor 3pin cotton, please to have it so. rhe question is squarely up to the South, the whole South, the merchant, the banker, farmer, lawyer, doctor, preacher and laborer in any and every vocation, avocation or profession, whether they will tamely submit to this outrage, whether they will allow these gentry to exact a toll from us, at their pleasure, :>f from $10 to $25 per bale or whether they will put their price on tjieir property and refuse to accept any other. The only answer to this absurd decline is to.refuse to take the prices offered. "In the West they are, making a brave stand. They are complaining bitterly that the Atlantic Stetes are lot standing for the price agreed up)n. How true this is, I am not able to say.

States' Rights and Regulation of Trusts, the Other Questions Must Likely to Figure in the Campaign. A dispatch from Washington to , The Charleston Post says gradually the sentiment of the people of the country with respect to the Democratic nomination for the presidency next year is taking form. Definitenessis being brought about not so much by men, asT)y policies. The feeling among Democrats of the country is practically uniform in all sections that during the next national administration, something will have to be done regarding the tariff 1 question. That feeling is not eonfin- ] ed, to be sure, to the Democratic . party, but the sentiment is more homogeneous and definite among Dem- 1 ocrats than it is among Republicans, A strong "stand-pat" sentiment ex- < ists among the Republicans and the , differences of opinion among Republicans on the tariff renders it the ea&- < ier for the Democrats, who substan- i tially are a unit on the proposition, , to make headway with their propag- < anda. It daily is becoming evident that , the tariff revision question is to be a , prominent, perhaps the paramount, , issue of the next national campaign. , In the selection of a candidate for , the presidency, therefore, the Demo- , cratic party, particularly, will en- ( deavor to name a man who has been , a consistent and able tariff reformer. . This is the situation which, to a greater extent than any other, is di- ' rof?+intr finow nf HphHiiv fit. nnp man. The man, in the opinion of many of the prominent Democrats who recently have visited Washing- 1 ton, is William J. Bryan. He is re- j garded as the ablest advocate of tar- ] iff revision in the Democratic party, 1 and when the tariff question as a ; leading issue he would be the logical candidate. Some apprehension has been felt i by the party leaders as to Mr. Bry- 1 an's strength in the South, but as- 1 surance is given by prominent Demcrats of that part of the country that < he would receive the cordial support 1 of the party, of the South on such a : platform as is now likely to be adop- i ted. Senator F. M. Simmons, of 1 North Carolina, voiced the Southern sentiment well when he said a day or < two ago that the people of his section i regarded Mr. Bryan ae "the great- j est advocate of the people's rights < and interests which this generation s has produced.' , Senator Simmons j said that with the elimination of the i question of Government ownership ] and that of the initiative and refer- < endum, on which the people of the j South differed from Mr. Bryan, the .Nebraska leador wouia oe aoie to command the support of the South witnout serious opposition. ' . That seems to be the concensus of opinion among the Democratic leaders, all of whom agree with Senator Simmons in believing that, in addi- , tion to the tariff question the two ] important issues of the next nation- . al campaign will be "Federal, encroachment upon the powers of the Slates"?an issue which has been , precipitated by the present adminis-!(' iration?and the regulation and control of trusts and combinations of ( capital. , On all three of the questions now presented Mr. Bryan is regarded as [ particularly strong, and unless the situation should change materially [ before the convention, it is regarded as very probable that he again will aalanfn/] oc +Vio a+anrlorH hpnrpr UC tA/lW tvu UMJ uuv k> w*tAV4v?* | W?????i?????? j This is Headquarters - FOB \) Pianos and Organs. !
