THUBSDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1888. fllMllrd t. o. iiMHmuv, THE WHITECIIAPEl MURDERS A Story of ttae Recent Hmrdera stud Hntl UUqu ot Woman In London.

Worldwide interest hu recently been ex cited by the mysterious and brutal murders and mutilations of women In the district of London commonly known as Whitechapel. This series of atrocities has many interesting and unique phases. The crimes were doubtless all committed by one person, and the Tictlms all belonged to a single class aban doned women. The general methods pursued were very similar, and, notwithstanding the rimes were perpetrated in the midst of a densely populated district and in a manner most likely to lead to detection, at this writing no suspicion exists as to the identity of the murderer. Police, lawyers, physicians, professors, insanity experts, and every one of a speculative or investigating turn of mind, have made a study of this series of crimes and all thus far without substantial result.

During the next few days the Times will give a succinct account of this Carnival of Crime, including a description of the section of London known as Whitecbapel; the seeking of the murderer by the police, including experiments In tracking men with bloodhounds; theories of prominent authorities as to thfrmnidmr, together with some account TTf other peculiar horrors in various cities, in the past. The New York Sun comments editorially on "The Murders in the Kue Morgue," and their similarity to the White chapel atrocities, as follows The shocking features of the Whitechapel butcheries recall in a certain nndefinable fashion Poe's story of "The Murders in the Hue Morgue." As they have been unfolded day after day by the press they have pre Ben ted no greater actuality than did the crimes that Poe's brain conceived when they first reached the public. The identity that they hold in common with this great masterpiece of fiction lies in the element ot mystery which distinguishes them. It looks, too, as if somemirnole of the detective's art, such as Poe founds his tale upon, would be needed to unearth the Whitechapel horror. We trust it may not be wantiog.

But, in the rcan time, everybody should read Poe's ury. This graphic account of the Whitechapel murders appear exclusively in the tmrs." Extra copies of the paper may be had upon application at the counting room, atould any be desired. Hi rrfeon AVtll Sorely Carry Indiana. Attorney General Michener and ex Congressman Peelle, of Indiana, arrived at Pittsburg on Tuesday morning and held a tnat the natural inference is that the pub consultation with Colonel Bayne relative iianed accounts of the London murders to the Republican campaign in New York have developed a latent desire to slay in and Indiana. They report that a careful some mentally diseased individual in Ala poll of Indiana gives the State to General bama.

The fact that the victims are all of Harrison hi good majority. tne same race makes it appear that the Alabama assassin's antipathy to the col omnf Awrai saaeeie. It is estimated that the Democrats have zeii $1,6007000 out of the officers for the campaign fund. One must verlook the fact, however, that Presi Cleveland contributed $10,000 of show the other office holders what elings were in the matter. To those expected great things from Cleve reform cry, four years ago, this state of affairs is disappointing.

Cbauncey M. Dppew Harrison's KlecMon, In an interview at Rochester, N. on Thursday, Chaunccy M. Depew said: "The prospects for Republican success are brilliant. In my judgment Harrison will carry New York by over 20,000 votes.

I am confident that a great many persons will be surprised when the election returns are counted. There will be a large silent vote in favor of the Republicans. The tariff issue is the main cause of the disaffection among the Democracy. The local fight in New York city will have no effect on the canvass except to bring out the full Democratic vote. The tidal wave for Harrison is rising juBt as rapidly as the similar movement in 1840 which elected to the Presidency his illustrious namesake.

Then, as now, the country was weary of the Democratic Administration which insisted upon another four years control of the government. The demand was indignantly refused. Let's complete the parallel. IiTSX EYED opponents have watched ver An fur uu unguarded word from speeches which could be ast the candidate or his party. They have watched in vain.

There seems to be no limit to his resources. He is always ready to meet all delegations and speak to them in the happiest terms and upon all topics. Tub Bureau of Statistics' report fur August and the eight months ending August 31, 1888, shows that the balance of trade with foreign countries is against us and is steadily increasing. For August we had ovnr $12,000,000 on the wronir side of our account, while for the eight months the sam amrmntcrl to nnarlv $100, 000,000.

All Taxes Are Not Burden. It is not true that all taxes are a burden to the laboring man, as claimed byFreeTraders. There is a sound philosophic principle upon which tariffs may be based which is wholly advantageous to the laborer and to the community. In discussing this question, George Qunton, an eminent political economist, says that "whenever a tariff protects the opportunity for developing unrealized capacity in any direction it is not a burden but a good investment, just the same as the school tax or a water tax or highway tax is not a burden but a wise investment. We have to pay for it, but it comes back with compound interest in improved citizens and better social and sanitary relations.

Any tariff that protects the opportunities for developing potential industries is not an economic burden, but wise investment which comes back with compound interest in superior pro uctive capacity and cheaper pro ducts without diminishing wages. Now this is exactly what can be exclusively bhown has been the result of the American Tariff. It is true that, at the first, it only prevented wages from falling by raising the price. But the secondary and per manent effect was to enable us to develop the highest productive possibilities by which we now supply our own population with the various manufactured and agri cultutal products cheaper than the lowest wage paying countries can supply their populations. And what is more, through the improved method of production thus made possible we are beginning to be able to produce commodities at as low a price and in some cases lower, cent for cent, than they can be produced in cheap labor countries, while we pay from 40 to 200 per cent, higher wages than they do." A Mysterious Assasoln.

It would be interesting to know the mo tive for the four mysterious murders which have occurred in the little town of Tuscaloosa, within tbe last two weeks. All of the victims were colored men and all had their throats cut. The body of the first one was mutilated by fifteen knife wounds, but the rest had only the ghastly wound at the throat. Tbe Philadelphia Forth American says "This work is eo much like that of the Whitechapel fiend ored people is the same as that of the Whitechapel murderer to fallen women. So far there seems to be as little chance to capture Tuscaloosa's fiend as London's, and if the murders go on the effect on other bloodthirsty maniacs is indicated with alarming clearness." The New York "Times" on Harrison.

The New York Times is for free trade, and of course is for Cleveland. With all the over zeal of a convert it is more bitter than moBt of the Democratic journals. It savs "Genera! Harrison is a citizen of the Republic, who has done worthily such share of public work as has devolved upon him. He was a brave soldier. At Resaca and Peach Tree Creek he won no meagre title to military renown.

There, if nowhere else, he showed himself worthy of his grand 8i re. In civil life the record of bis services is confined to the faithful performance of duties of a minor office in Indiana, and one term in the United States Senate. The eye of curiosity will search the pages of the Record in vain for any evidence that Senator Harrison distinguished himself. It is an inconspicuous chronicle, yet we find him in all instances acting with sincerity and for the public interest. His Republican supporters will avoid the subject of his eloquence lest embarrassing reference be made to his too sparing use of that noble gift.

Altogether it is an entirely respectable nomination." Omaha svnd Council niufT 11. Jl. llridjro Opening The editors of the Reading Ti mks and Journal are in receipt of a special invitation to the grand opening ceremonies of the new wagon aod motor railway bridge for uniting tbe cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs, to take place on the 30th of Oc tober, 188. This is one of those colossal schemes of public improvement for which the cities of the Mississippi are pre eminently distinguished. In the lint of a dozen special committees who have the work and the celebration in charge we find the name of Harry Bi kinbiue, now a resident of Council Bluffs, who, we believe, is the en gineer of the new structure, which is erected at a cost of $750,000.

lemocratlo "floodle." Last week $140,000 was sent by the National Democratic Committee into Indiana, and it is believed that as much more has been raised in the State to help carry it for Cleveland and reform. Tbe Democrats of the Hooaier State, however, have not many hopes of success, although it is pleasant to have the handling of plenty of money In conducting the work for the cause. At no previous campaign since tbe war has boodle been to little effective in influencing the decision at tbe polls as it will prove this year. Free trade is something thst cannot be bought in this coiin try' Thk notion that the President's Thanks giving proclamation is being held back until tbe returns show fust how much he has to be thankful for is unfounded, says tbe Philadelphia Ledger. Tbe proclamation may therefore be expected on any day, now.

There are only two mem bers of the Cabinet in the capital, who will leave the middle of this week, when President Cleveland will also go to New York. But the machinery of government will run on as smoothly as when all these officials are at their posts of duty. Reading Benevolent Society.

Tbe Times is requested by' some of the lady managers of tbe Reading Benevolent Society to remind the good people of Beading that the season of the year is at hand to make arrangements for the relief of the poor during the coming winter. The collector, Mr. J. F. Rudolphy.

who has been so faithful and efficient in past years, has again been appointed to solicit subscriptions, and is now making his annual rounds for that purpose. It is to be hoped that his callB will be metjwitha prompt and liberal response on the part of our citizens. The society is an old one that has been doing an immense amount of good in past years It has kept the wolf from tbe door in many families during our inclement winters. It has fed the hungry and warmed the freezing on many occasions when there was no other help at hand, and has done its work quietly and unostentatiously year after year without its beneficiaries, incurring the loss of self respect by its quiet and Christian operations. There are many charitable societies in Reading that are de" serving of all praise and a generous sup port, but of them all the Reading Benevolent Society has perhaps the strongest claim upon the general and generous pub lic.

Give to all good and deserving charities if you can, but by all means do not send the collector for the support of this benefice away empty handed. A Sngaestlve Exhibit. From the N. T. Tribune's record of the Presl dent'n appointments la the Civil Service, July 23.

This savory list includes two murderers and the tools of two others, five notorious duelists and three rioters one to be Judge of the very court by which he had been imprisoned six weeks. It includes five persons who had been indicted or convicted for frauds against the revenue, appointed to be officers of the revenue service.

It includes a jury fixer, a dead beat, a lawyer jruilty of defrauding clients and an attorney who had cleared notorious bandits by contriving a defeat of justice, all appointed to be judges. Persons were appointed pension asrents who had been indicted for violating pension laws. Persons guilty of robbing tbe mails were appointed post masters or mail agentsone when appointed was in jail for robbing the very office to which he was appointed. Liquor sellers, tbeir boos or attorneys were appointed internal revenue officials. An impeached State Treasurer, defrauding county or town treasurers, seven forgers one of whom had served two terms for that offense, but "knew Cleveland personally" and men guilty of robbery, embezzlement, theft, malfeasance, tapping a church till, grand larceny, bribery, obtaining money under false pretences, of a printing steal, a mileage steal and a patent fraud, of keeping gambling houses and houses of resort for the vile of both sexes, of assault and battory, fiat fighting and insulting women, of assaulting a lady temperance lecturer with a club, of wife beating, of blackmailing and selling offices and of Belling official information, with an editor of a rogues paper and a Brooklyn police officer who was dismissed for arresting in her bed at 2 a.

A full alphabetical list of these appointments has been before the public for nearly two months, with quotations from papers that support Mr. Cleveland for re election authenticating more than three fourths of tbe charges, and accompanied by the Tribune's promise to correct any and all errors. Just one correction has been asked for and made.

Suits for damages canted by defective drainage are something new in legal proceedings, but a Boston landlord has just been mulcted in $5,500 in addition to a plumber's bill, all because he neglected to look after the drainage of his property Owners of property in this vicinity may get a valuable hint from this. There are 10,000 Chinamen in New York, and the Sun says there are no loafers among them, and it is a rare sight to see any of them applying for help at char if able institutions.

Mrs. Kfte Chase lprrnM la Braid, Brtag Salt for Ioe Blostr, TlPpom the New York GrrmDhte.l It is said that on the death of her father, tne iaie mei juauce oaimon r. onase, there was left in Senator Con Kline's hands for Mrs.

Sprague a considerable number of valuable securities lue Chief Justice and Senator Conk ling were warm personal friends and tbe Judge relied npon the Senator's friendship and judgment to protect his daughter's interests. Some time after Justice Chase's death Senator Conkring changed these investments. His judgment resulted in a heavy loss of value within two or three years, and eventually the income ceased and the new securities which he had purchased became practically valueless. Tbe Senator evidently felt some moral obligation to secure Mrs. Sprague against loss, for he is said to have paid regularly from his own pocket an amount equal to the former income on the investment.

This payment was continued until two years before his death, and then stopped without any explanation. Mrs. Sprague referred the matter to another old friend of her father, the late C. W. Moulton, who was the brother in law of Senator Sherman, and I General Sherman.

Mr. Moulton died a year ago. At the time of bis death he was endeavoring to procure a settlement of some kind with Senator Conkling, but had not succeeded, and the matter has been left to bo settled with the late ex Senator's executors. Sasnmabet'ji Philadelphia, Thursday, October 24, 1888. You hear of here and there an India Shawl at half price Half of what price There is truth telling that deceives.

Such cheats are nowhere easier than in the high cost India Shawls. Not one store in ten handles India Shawls. Not one in fifty, perhaps, handles the high cost ones. Prices nine times in ten are what the dealer chooses to make them. There are $1000 and $1500 Indias.

Precisely the same Shawls in another store may be $400 or $500. 'What the traffic will bear" is the India Shawl rule in most stores. Such houses keep most of their Indias. Even "halt price" don't bring the goods to the right level. We don't do business that way.

There never has been a time when the finer Indias could be had for so little at first hand. The making of them has almost stopped. What are in the market now are mostly picked up one or two at a time from corners where they've lain unnoticed. What we get hold of we take with every bit of extravagance squeezed from the price. We sell them without a bit of extravagance added.

That keeps our bhawl stock fresh and moving, and always a brim with the best values. There is hardly an India Shawl in our stock that we could replace at the price it cost us; some we couldn't buy at the prices they are marked for sale. All India Shawls go out to the world from the twice a year London trade sales. What are now in this country must last till next Spring. We don't expect to ever see prices more favorable to buyers; chances are the other way.

Our showing never was better. It is the nick of time if you ever expect to own one of these exquisite creations. Umntzurs, $17 to $100 Valleys, $75 to $500 eeoond floor. ner Juniper and Chestnut streets eoraer. iu elevator.
