Cannes, Feb.

19. The most intense excitement was. caused in the large American colony here yesterday by the announcement that one of the most prominent visitors at the place, Mr. Edward Parker Deacon, a native of the United States, had shot and Killed a Frenchman named Abeille. All sorts of stories were in circulation in regard to the affair, but the matter finally resolved itself into a case of honor a caso where a man had avenged to the death the disgrace of his family brought upon him and his children by his wife and her lover.

Mr. Deacon and his wife had been sojourning for some little time past at the Hotel Splendide, one of the fashionable hotels of this fashionable watering-place. With them were their four children. There was nothing in the actions of Mr. Deacon to indicate that he had any suspicion that his wife was unfaithful to him; on the contrary, they appeared to be as devoted to each other as is usual in the case of people who have been married for years.

Tt has transpired, however since the shooting, that Mr. Deacon suspected that his wife was unduly intimate with M. Abeille, who was connected with the French diplomatic service, and he kept a close watch on her actions. About midnight last night Mr. Deacon discovered M.

Abeille in his wife's room and rushing upon them unawaresfired three shots at the despoiler, two of which took effect, causing death in a few hours. Deacon was arrested but the general belief seems to be that he did the proper thing. THE CRISIS IN FRANCE. Its Introduction and Value Discussed by a Practical Apiarist. At the Michigan state bee-keepers convention M.

H. Hunt said: The intelligent use of comb foundation has added largely to the pleasures and profit of bee-keeping, and its importance is second only to the movable frame. The first practical foundation was made in 1874, and the demand has increased so rapidly that at times there has been scarcely enough beeswax to produce it. In 1878 it was said; "Wo can hardly conceive what an immense business this is soon to become." During the first years of its introduction a large proportion of poor comb foundation was sent out, but this did not seem to affect the demand. Several attempts have been made to make comb with full depth of cells, but so far they have all been failures.

Its great bulk, the extra expense and the greater amount of wax required, all combine to make it undesirable. In my use of foundation in the brood frames I have been most pleased with the full sheets of light brood in wired frames. There is only wax enough in this grade to draw out the cells a trifle, giving the bees a chance to utilize the natural secretion of wax that is sometimes lost. Nice, straight, all-worker combs are secured in this way at little expense. Full sheets give more bees a chance to operate, making them lss liable to cluster and secrete wax which may be wasted.

By the use of starters only, in brood frames, perhaps the bees will enter the sections sooner, storing a greater proportion of their honey there; but that is not always an advantage. The bees must have a certain amount to winter on, and if forced to put their stores above, and the flow ceases about the time the sections are completed, it necessitates feeding for their winter supply. there would be 'an increased demand for labor. Neither is it true that no harm has come to consumers by the law of 1890. In the first place, the increased cost of wool, as compared with prices in Europe, has forced the use of cotton and other adulterants to a great and unusual extent; and, secondly, if woolen goods have not advanced, they might have been lower but for the duties on wool.

There is no question among manufacturers that the act of 1890 was intended to advance prices, nor that it was well calculated to do so to the extent that consumers could afford. The almost universal fall in prices was caused in very small degree, if at all, by the tariff act of 1890. The tremendous losses in the Argentine republic and elsewhere, the failure of the Barings, the distrust caused by silver legislation, the low price of cotton in the south on account of an enormous crop, the failure of crops in the north and west prior to 1801, causing dull trade and reduced consumption, are the principal causes that brought distress and falling prices. What those manufacturers and wool growers who arranged the wool schedule with the intention of increasing prices want is, no doubt, to be let alone, so that the tariff act may produce under more favorable auspices the results they expected and worked for. But the rest that the public needs is a permanent relief from taxes which oppress both them and manufacturers, which hamper the latter, as every manufacturer and which largely increase the cost of woolen goods to the public The readjustment of the tariff on the basis of free wool is perfectly simple; it needs but the removal of the duties on wool and a corresponding reduction of the duties on goods which were put on to offset the the cost of the wool dutias.

Here is a great boon to every manufacturer ot wool and to every consumer. The growth of the wool manufacture has undoubtedly been great during the past thirty years, for the country, with its vast natural resources and enorm Suicide. St. Louis, Feb. 18.

The Four Courts was the scene of greater excitement yesterday and last night than at any time since the Maxwell trial. Marion Hedspeth, the famous outlaw, was brought in loaded with chains, and dragging his weary feet along with painful effort He wore what are technically known as "Oregon boots' inquisitional contrivances which render rapid walking or escape impossible. Adelbert Slye and Mrs. Maggie Hedspeth also came in for a share of public curiosity. They were taken to Clayton in the morning and placed on trial in the county court.

Slye's plea was "guilty." Sentence was deferred by Judge Edward. It is believed that Slye will turn state's evidence Mrs. Hedspeth excited the sympathy of the crowd when the court continued her case owing to her ill health, fixed her bond at 1, 000 and finally released her, with her attorneys as sureties; the poor woman was the recipient of an ovation from the audience in the court room, and a number of ladies, representing the first families of the county, enthusiastically embraced and kissed hr. "The most important incident in a day full of criminal history was the attempted suicide of Mrs. Hedspeth.

The general public knew nothing of the terrible scenes enacted in the gloomy, forbidding cell of the prisoner during the early hours of the day. In the course of the night Mrs. Hedspeth's cell-mate, Laura Maddox, who was arrested for shop-lifting, was awakened by loud cries and heart-breaking moans. She found Mrs. Hedspeth hanging by the neck from an iron bar and reached her just in time to save her life.

Mrs. Hedspeth was half-crazed with grief at the time and later on regretted making the attempt to take her own life. A. Comparison of Prices Forty Years Agn With Those of the Present. Ae things cheaper than they used to be? In answer to the above question we will say.

they are very much cheaper in material and construction and in many instances price; but it is safe to say that in wear and tear the common articles of every day use sold forty years ago were much cheaper to the purchaser, for the best is always the cheapest. We have in our possession the books kept by Samuel N. Baker, who was the founder of the potteries now conducted by his sons in Eockville, and who also kept a general store for some years before his death in 1860.

Aside from all questions of superiority of goods sold thirty-five years ago, how much cheaper can the above items be bought in Rockville to-day? Some items may be purchased at a lower price, others will cost more.

But it must always be remembered that there was not a railroad in Parke county thirty -five years ago, and everjr pound of goods sold in Rockville had to be hauled here in wagons. Then comes the important question of labor. In those days nearly everything was made by hand.

20. President Carnot strongly urged the ministry to reconsider, but M. De Freycinet insisted upon resigning, saying he and his colleagues had decided that they could not remain in power after the action taken by the chamber. Several generals yesterday called on M. De Freycinet, who was war minister as well as premier, and strongly appealed to him not to resign, saying that he would be a great loss to the army.

M. De Frescinet, however, remained obdurate. The lobbies of the chambers were filled with excited leaders, discussing the situation, and when the final decision of the ministry became known the opinion was general that a state of political uncertainty had arrived, in view of the apparent inability at much lower prices than are now paid.

J. B. Simpson, the Reported Dallas Fugitive, at Hot Ark. He Denies Damaging Stories. Hot Springs, Feb.

IS. James B. Simpson, of Dallas, whose name has been the central point of a recent financial sensation there, is in this city. When seen to-day he pronounced the story of his crookedness false. He denied all knowledge of reported indictments against him and said he knew nothing of the reports of his flight with $300,000 of other people's money.

Continuing he said: "What you have told me is the fust I have heard of any such report, I Lave been here some time for my health, but having heard that my business affairs need attention I will leave ihis afternoon for Dallas." Asked what gave rise to the ret ent stories Mr. Simpson said he had haen engaged in many extensive enterprises. The stringency of the money market brought on a crisis and attachments were run by creditors for large amounts. "Had I been given more time," he said, "I could have met all demands." "There is no truth in the published report that you are guilty of fraud?" "None whatever. As evidence of this I.

will return to Dallas this evening and meet all charges against me. It is but a business crash brought on by creditors jumping on me without giving me a chance to meet obligations. I think I will be able to arrange matters satisfactorily and without any diffiuclty on my return to Dallas."

We are told that the greater with free wool, and its growth and prosperity mean larger use, of domestic wools and higher prices abroad for all competing wools.

It is clear from the statements of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers and from undoubted facts, emphasized by the vast increase in the imports of wool since the passage of the act of 1890 and by the falling prices of Ohio wool, that this country produces practically no carpet wool to supply the demand for nearly pounds needed by the carpet manufacturers, and only a part of the cloih-ing and combing wools nee led; and it is further to be considered that the use of wool for so-called "woolens" would be much larger if the restrictions of the wool duties did not greatly reduce the consumption of wool and largely increase the use of shoddy and cotton in so-called woolen goods. And this is the case after a long series of years of high duties on wool. In the theory of the "new protection, it is laid down as a principle that "the necessities entering into the daily life-of the mass of the people which we canuot economically produce should be made free." On this principle wool should certainly be made free. It is a most important article for all the people. It is produced in this country in inadequate quantities, and not in the necessary varieties and qualities.

Some indispensable grades can be produced in this country only under conditions unfavorable as compared with those of other countries. High duties for a quarter of a century have failed to produce any carpet wool in this couutry, and have also failed to produce an adequate supply of the wools needed for the woolen and worsted manufacture.

The "Wool Consumers Association" Petition Congress For Free Wool and Lower Duties on Woolen Goods. To the Honorable, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States: The Wool Consumers' Association respectfully petitions the Fifty -second congress to change schedule relating to wool and woolens, in the tariff act of 1890, for the relief of woolen manufacturers, and for the benefit of all consumers of woolen fabrics. It is, of course, undesirable in general, to change tariff frequently, but the generai principles of the act of 1890, as applied to wool and woolens, are the same as have been tried unsatisfactorily for very many years, except that it aggravates some of the worst and most oppressive features of former acts in relation to wool.

The act has therefore practically been tested by the trials of many years, and there is no occasion to test it by longer experience. It is not true that the act, in its present form, can work no harm to woolen manufacturers. It works the same injury to the makers of woolen and worsted cloth that the restrictions on the use of wool always have produced; and, in the case of the carpet trade, which consumes a very large proportion of all the imported is ooen next to driveway, for Ohio XX 31c. 33o. 3Jo.

Besides, such bands make excellent insect traps.
