DIABOLICAL DEPRAVITY. Wholesale Murder of Infants by Angel Makers" in Russia. St. Petersburg, May 4. At Vilna to dav six Jews and Jewesses were con lcted or murnenng uoie nmi mm been entrusted to their charge, and were sentenced to from six to twenty years penal servitude.

In many cases the mur ders were committed wita tne con vance of the mothers ol the little vic ti ms The nreliminary inquiries into these crimes lasted nearly two years, each case beiniF most thoroughly mvestigaiea ie fore anv arrests were made. he rst clue to this wholesale conspiracy to murder was obtained in April, IrtiM). when some one discovered cessnool in a wretched hovel in Vilna the bodies of six small children. This led to further searches, and in the end the remains of sixtv tive infants were found Forty men and women were arrested and 350 witnesses were summoned to testify against them. The dispatch from Vilna does not state whether all the prisoners were tried and only six convicted, but the supposition is that as the evidence was so strong against the accused, only the six condemned were tried.

The prisoners had gained the colloquial name of "Angel makers," from their practice of killing children whose existence was inconvenient or distasteful to parents. THE READING DEAL. The Matter Being; Actively Pushed Before the House Commerce Committee. Washington. May 4.

The intention of the subcommittee is to nrenare and submit a sub facto case, showing what It thinks can be proved with reference to the deal, and vo recom mend what steps shall next be taken. There was some difference of opinion expressed in the Committee as to the right ol Congress, unaer me vyouwuiu tion. to do anvthins whatever with re spect to the combination.

Cent Dinner for fya the Tropical Garden. on is Of at 'PEMSYLY1IIA The Low Tnlng of aa Irnora inans, who Kefer to the Oermans of laate Fenn sylvaaia la Vile Terms. The New York Ptem in its issue of last Sunday contained an article in which the writer in a series of low dines he evi dently regarded as sarcasm, but which were only displays of the vilest possible ignorance, sought to prove that the people whom he called "Pennsylvania Dutch" are lsnorant. uncultured, grovel inir. voracious and repulsive in much of their appearance and actions.

We use these strong terms in order to define the real meaning of what the writer of the article in question desired to impress on bis New lork readers as to the charac teristics of the people of whom he gives the clearest proof he has no knowleddge whatever. The allusion in the article to which we "refer is to the Germans of Eastern Pennsylvania, who have made gardens of beauty, teeming fields, fruit ful orchards and rich vineyards oi rsergs, Lancaster, Lebanon, York, Dauphin and parts of other counties. Those people represent as intelligent classes of citi zens, as reunea 111 meir uuuironi. cia tions. as independent in their politics.

honest their dealings, as intelligent nersonallv. and as sturdy as patriots as are to be found iu any like number of men in New lork. or any other hfaie, who toil in held or workshop or do business of anv kind. A more thrifty, honest, religious people, fair in all things, thau the so called 'Pennsylvania Dutch," do not live in any other country in Christen dom. They contribute to good citizen shin as much trood material in men and women as emanate from any of the social conditions ol the United States, and the representative ''Pennsylvania Dutch" have as honorable lame in all the professions, the industries and the oflicial life of the United States as are presented by any other class of people we have classes in this country) living under our system of government.

Such are the real characteristics of the "Penn sylvania Dutch" to whom the writer in the New lork fres so glibly and so irnorantlv refers. Virtuous, honest. broadly intelligent, thrifty, patriotic and manly in all things, the "Pennsylvania Dutch" really need no defense from any one, but the ignorance that presumes to depreciate them deserves to be set right, on the principle that a fool should be deterred from misleading people in any part of the country.
