Plain Talk.
[From the Cleveland Plaindealer.]
"There are hundreds and thousands
of people in the large cities and towns
who cannot afford to pay the prices de-
manded for the best dairy and cream-
ery butters. Oleomargarine is in every
respect better and more healthful than
country store butter. Give the middle
class a chance to place on their tables
an artificial butter that looks like but-
ter, that tastes better than most dairy
butter tastes, and is absolutely nutri-
• tious and healthful. Let there be fair-
ness in this matter, and a repeal of all
prohibitive laws that work injury and
injustice to a large uumber of people."
Silver Churn Butterine is prepared by
superior methods under careful scien-
tific supervision. It is sold largely
throughout the United States, and fas-
tidious housekeepers proclaim it the
best table article obtainable.

AS MYSTERIOUS AS EVER.
No Clew Yet as to Who Murdered
Miss Catherine Ging.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 7.—The mysteri-
ous murder of Catherine Ging is still
unsolved. Newspapers and police have
followed up every clew with unremit-
ting energy only to fail.
The work of placing the pieces of
torn note together, which Miss Ging re-
ceived and tore to fragments on the
morning of the day she met death, is
not yet completed. A note, however,
has been partially fitted together on
which the words "I will not marry
you” are disernable. These words led
confirmation to the theory that the
deed was one of passion or jealousy
rather than robbery, and that the money
on her person at the time of the murder,
estimated at $10,000, was taken as an
after thought to obscure the motives
for the deed.
W. H. Dennis thinks he has seen the
man now, and a vindictive, testy man
at that; but a citizen’s committee which
during the last six months has gone into
his allegations and the mass of docu-
ments which he possesses, is convinced
that his story is a true one.
Last summer a committee was organ-
ized with Assemblyman Judson Law-
son and George W. Stokes at its head.
Sessions were held and O’Rourke held
back for a long time, pleading his desire
not to produce his documents until pos-
itively convinced that the committed
would not drop the matter. Finally he
told his story.
Lawyer Ferris and Mr. Stokes went
before Judge Andrews of the supreme
court with an application for a sum-
mary investigation and examination of
the comptroller’s office. Judge Andrews
took the matter to Judge Patterson who
was sitting in chambers, to fix a peti-
tion, the material parts of which were
as follows:
The petition of Judson Lawson,
Henry Robbins, James Denholm and
Louis Bower.—The above named re-
spectfully request as follows:

of the city of New York has knowledge

tain), which have been issued while the
said Richard A. Storrs has been deputy
comptroller of said city and many of
which said bonds and stocks are not
payable until the next century, have
never been reported as outstanding in

murderer’s face. He was in St. Paul
last Friday and states that he met Miss

killed Miss Ging.
Detectives are working on this clew
as well as one given by M. D. Wilson,
who saw a rig the night of the murder
corresponding with the one hired by
Miss Ging. He afterwards saw the man
at the morgue who, he thinks, was in
the rig. The detectives are shaddowing

Goulds vs. Orphans’ Home.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Surrogate Fitz-
gerald will hear the arguments today in
suit of the Soldiers and Orphans’ home
of St. Louis against Russell Sage and
the estatelof Jay Gould. The counsel
for the orphans’ home have made a mo-
tion to compel the children of Jay Gould
to file an inventory of the Gould estate,
and are suing the Gould estate to secure
an accounting of $11,000,000 of bonds
of the Kansas Pacific railroad.

EMPORIA, Dec. 7.—Thirty-two years

regiment, according to their annual cus-
tom, will gather here to commemorate
the battle, with headquarters at the

They Glory In Calling Themselves the
«England of the East"—Captain Cor-
mick Says Uncle Sam or Johnny Bull
May Yet Have to Teach the Little
Kingdom a Valuable Lesson.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The steamship
Energia and Strathlevon, from China
and Japan, leaving Yokohama on Sept.
5 and Shanghai, Foo Choo, have arrived
here.
Captain Cormick of the Strathlevon
and Captain Saw of the Energia, said
that they had not seen much fighting,
but that in the different ports where
they had anchored they had many
chances to observe the feeling between
the two countries.
"Why," said Captain Cormick, “you
never saw a country have such a large
bump of selfesteem as Japan has re-
cently developed. They are very fond
of calling themselves the ‘England of
the east.’ One Japanese gentleman,
whom I met in Yokohama, was talking
to me about the future of Japan and The
got down a map and pointed out to me
the fact that Japan was in the same rel-
ative position to Asia that England is to
Europe, and then he said: ‘Japan’s in-
fluence may be felt throughout Asia as
England’s is throughout Europe, and
then England has some interest in Asia,
possibly we may have some in Europe—
no one can tell.’ And that Japanese was
educated in France," said the captain.
"I tell you what," he continued, "if
Japan conquers China, as she most cer-
tainly will, the United States or Eng-
land will have to give Japan a real
good whipping before there will be any
living on the same earth with her.
"Another Japanese whom I met was
very confident that Japan would some
day be the greatest nation on the earth.
He was a passenger 01 my ship and
was going from Yokohama to Hokodate,
and one night when we were standing
on deck together I asked him who would
win the war. He said: ‘Why, Japan,
of course.’ What will Japan do after
the war?’ I asked. ‘Oh, there is a coun-
try of gold to the south; Japan may
want that."
-He meant Australia, and I asked
him what England would be doing
while Japan took Australia.
« ‘I don’t think Japan cares what Eng-
land would do,’ he answered, and I had
to run off and look hard at the compass
for fear of laughing in his face.
"Chinese are not saying as much
they were the last time I: visited their
ports. They are divided into two fac-
tions—one in favor of old Li Hung
Chang and the other very much op-
posed to him. . 1
"I think, though, said the captain,
that he has done as well as could be ex-
pected with the stuff that was at his
command. I saw a Chinese regiment
over there and it was one of the funni-
est things I ever saw. The soldiers all
looked like liv ng skeletons and they
were armed with snikersnees, spears
and old flintlock muskets. The armor
they had on was a very cheap tin that I
could have made a hole in with a tooth-
pick." ________
BIG DEMONSTRATION.
The Arrival of the Prince of Wales
and Duke of York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—A special dis-
patch from London says the arrival of
the Prince of Wales and the Duke of
York in London today is to be made
the occasion of a big demonstration by
Tory West End club men in recognition
of the prince’s effort to secure an Anglo-
Russian agreement.
The effect abroad of this display,

which is regarded as an insiduous re-
vival of jingoism, is awaited with the
keenest anxiety by the ministers who
already are profoundly alarmed by the
attitude of Germany, France and Aus-
tria, owing to the premature crowing of
the British press over Britain’s im-
proved relations with Russia. England’s
situation has become so,embarrassing,
not to say dangerous, by reason of the
growing irritation and distrust of other
powers, that the opinion strongly pre-

Minister Rosebery in making it clear
that England’s sole interest is in the

The application was directed at Dep-

has always stipulated that largesums of
money should be paid for his informa-
