The woman was 60 years cf age, single, and of Irish extraction. She was Tery large, weighing over 200 pounds, a physical condition to which is attributed the fatal results of the snort fall.

It was printed la the Auckland Herald more than a month aso and is the only correct picture of the man that has yet been presented. The Post-Dispatch of yesterday gave the St, Louis public the first news of the arrival from Auckland of W. H. I Maxwell, the effeminate. dudigh young man who, on April last, killed his friend and companion, O.

Arthur Preller, in room No. 144 of the Southern Hotel, this city, by administering chloroform. Maxwell made his escape to Saa Francisco, and thence to New Zealand, which ho reached about twenty-eight days after the murder. He was arrested immediately upon his arriTal at Auckland and placed in the Government rison there to await th coning of the St. Louis detectives.

These, Messrs. James Tracy and Q. W. Badger, sailed from San Fran cisco June 7, srrlvlng in Auckland June 29. On July 8, th extradition papers were presented in the Auckland Police Court, and the evidence adduced Maxwell was given into th custody of the Ec.

Louis officers. Detective Tracy presented the information against him made out by Prosecuting Attorney Claiborne, and identified numerous articles found in Maxwell's trunk. Detective Tuohy of Auckland identified several articles found In th accused's traveling Dass and en his person. W. J.

Napier, Maxwell's counsel, insisted that the judge had no jurisdiction, but the Judge thought otherwise and Maxwell was arraigned on the Information wbich was read to him. He merely replied: 1 reserve my defense," and was remanded to jail to await the order of surrender from the Governor. There was a crowd at the pier in Saa Francisco to greet Maxwell wnen be arrived. As he left the Zealand ia in the Government boat all the passengers who had accompanied him on the steamsnip CROWDED TO THK OAXOWAY and had to be pushed back to allow the prisoner and officer to pass. This same interest was manifested in the prisoner wnen the boat reached the snore.

At the dock the Dews spread rapidly that the person in custody was Maxwell. The prisoner carried on his aria a large and coarse gray blanket. Ha was not apparently disturbed by the giancsa directed toward him. Two carriages war waiting, and into one of tuese he was assisted by the detectives, who took places beside him. At the city prison, to waich he was taken temporarily, pending his transportation East, a crowd had also gathered, aad idlers crowded is after him through toe corridor, until they were stopped at the iron gate of the inner prison.

It is safe to go beyond that and assert that eating is not only a necessity, bat it exerts the greatest influence ou the happiness of mankind.

It could doubtless be proven that most of the melancholy, the quarrels and despair that lead so often to suicide or divorce are not so much affairs of the heart aa of ths stomach. Misery and bad food go hand in hand, and a poor cook is the arch-enemy of humanity. The best advice to give one who is ill in mind or boy is to live well, eat good food and be happy.

How th Whites iai the Territory Tltwtha President's Order. Robert Mayn, a merchant of Tahlequah, registered at the Lin dell Hotel this morning. Speaking about the leases of lauds in the Nation affected by th President's order to a Post-Dispatch re porter, he said: "There can be no doubt about the correctness of the President's stand on the question of admitting the cattlemen torAhe Territory, to the exclusion the Oklahoma boomers, and such white residents of the Territory as are not interested in cattle in th reservations indorse his action. I don't see, however, why Cleveland doesn't go farther and apply his policy every resorva. ion in the Territory.

Surely, tue leases are illegal iu one section they are illegal in another. It is not necessary to wait for an outbreak on tbe part of the Indians before taking action. That sort of policy is aa bad as none at ail. Tnere ia no use mincing matters. The lands in the Nation belong to the Indians and this rigat to them must ne aeia inviolable, ektisuate that there are be tween 175,000 and 200,000 cattle which will bave to be moved.

1 don't see why any of tsem should be thrown on the market. The beef steers will not have to be driven any tuan the Cherokee strip and will not lose sufficient tlesh on tbe trip to masu it an ooiect to their owners to sell them on a Cheap market Such talk as tnat is only bluff."
