Whatevera kiss be, there is but one thing that sanctifies it, one thing that should pernrt it one that should demand it, and that is love. Hot necessarily the love of a sweetheart; it may be the love of friendship, providing it be not a friendship between man and woman; the love existing in a family.

Is not that kiss a moekery which one woman gives another when meet ing, wheD but a few hionients before she had been gossiping about the one he now salines? We are thankful that at last fashion has taken it in haod atid frees ns from the gushing woman who sulutes us on all occasions wiiha kiss. We are glad that the custom of presenting the cheek in preference to the lips becoming popular. It is a custom brought home by the foreign school girl and the convent-bred girl of our own 1 mil. The girl wlo has been taught to offer her cheek on all occasions, who has received a kiss on her brow, as a great honor, will not be so apt to give h-T lips to the first knight who comes first man who flirts with her. Sh will know that her lips should only be kissed by one that tbe is sure loves her alone, and to whom she has given her henrt.

MiXBOtmxK, May 3. The behavior of Deeming since he was sentenced has become more inexplicable than ever. There is a strange mixture of sense and Insanity in all he says and does, the' latter evidently assumed.

No doubt he is laboring under intense excitement, finding himself baffled at every point. He expected to procure at first a pctDonement of his trial, and next a division of the jury on the plea of mental aberration put forward for him, and in delay he had ever hope of making his escape. Now be is bent on an appeal, but there is no ch.mce fur him in this; no court in Christendom would grant it. His atrocious lying and maligning the memory of his victims has lost tor him what little sympathy he might have inspired by his indomitable courage. The jailers fear tiiat under the breaking down of all his hopes, Deeming may become actually mad or attempt suicide, for although in spirits, assumed or otherwise, he sometimes drops into a 'moodiness which looks ugly and dangerous, and when to approach or speak to him provokes threatening looks and language.

All these things being" considered, by the jail authorities, it was decided to put the prisoner in irons, and this resolution was carried into effect to-day. Much interest is manifested in the auto biography that Deeming is writing and upon whict ho has spent much of his time since he was imprisoned. It is believed that the man's overweening vanity will compel him to confess in this workallthecrime.be has ever committed. By appealing to the judicial Committee of the Privy Council Deeming may succeed in putting oil his execution for a time, but his haste to complete his book shows that he has little, i any, hope of escaping hanging. Early this morning' he resumed his writing on his biography, which he says he will bequeath Mss Rouusevell, the young lady to whom he was engaged at the time of his arrest.

He expresses the hope that the prolfts which she may derive from its publication will in some degree compensate her for thewrong and annoyance which he has been the means of inflicting ou her. THE SCRANTON LABOR TOOUBLE. Workmen Demand a Nine Hour Day With i Ten Hour's Pay. Sen anton, May 3. Trade circles in Scrantoh are on the brink of a panic because of the threatening attitude of carpenters, masons, bricklayers and helpers.

They are demanding a nine-hour day with ten-hour pay. The painters.have been on a strike for the same thing for nearly a month but there has been no yielding yet by either side. Two unions of hodcarriers yesterday voted to strike.

The plasterers decide their course today.

These trades paraded 8,000 men yesterday afternoon, bearing banners and mottoes.Telatlug to their demands from the bosses; The builders have organized an exchange and- will fight every demand made by the tradesmen.

Two Persons Killed and Others Have Kar-rew Escapes. Kingfisher, (X T-, May 3. A cyclone gathering force in the southwest portion of Kingfisher Monday evening created great fear among the residents. A heavy rainstorm began an hour before, quickly followed by immense hailstones. Windows were broken and men and animals knocked senseless.

The loosely built houses were deserted, and women hid in cellars under unfinished building half filled with water from the recent storm. The cyclone turned to the south a half mile and just missed the town. The cyclone did great damage to growing crops, overturning houses in its path and killing young stock, finally spending its force about fifteen miles distant. The onlyjdamage done in Kingfisher was to overturn small outbuildings and unroof two residences. Fourteen houses outside the city were destroyed and.

great damage done to crops by the haiL F. A. Bidwell of York, and his son, were killed by the cyclone. Simon Bates, a farmer, while riding, was overtaken by the 'cyclone. He dismounted and held his horse by the lariat rope.

The animal became frantic and wound Bates np in the rope. Before he could extricate himself the horse was lifted from the earth and carried a considerable distance. Bate's left leg was fractured and he received internal injuries. George Eickert and his family of ten entered a dug out, and the house was torn to atoms. A portion of the.

room was hurled against the roof of the cave, crushing it in. All escaped with bruises. PRINTER'S TJXION BUILDING, President Harrison Attends the Dedication In Washington. Washington, May 3. Columbia Typographical Union No.

Senator Gallinger, who will be the orator at the Childs-Drexel Home dedication, and others followed him, and President Harrison honored the union with his, presence, accompanied by Private Secretary Halford.

The President entered the hall after the speechmaking. He was greeted by a prolonged shout and then three hearty cheers. Standing on the steps in front of the platform, the President shook hands with the people who filed past him from the body of the hall. After the President had left the crowd amused itself at will. ANNA DICKINSON'S CONDITION.

Her Physician Savs She is Much Improved and Expects Her Ultimate Recovery. New York, May 3. Anna M. Dickinson, reformer, politician, lecturer, and pioneer in. the woman's rights movement, who was reported to be dying at the Fifth Avenue Hotel is much improved and her physician says her ultimate recovery may be expected soon.

She has long been prominent, in this country in the advance ranks of public women. A little more than a year ago she was committed to a public asylum, poor, broken and demented, it was said. She managed to secure her release, ana although her mental' disorders have manifested themselves since, she has remained free. Her last appearance in this city some time since was pathetic in its evidence of decline, and her friends were not at all surprised at the report of her illness. THEODORE WOODRUFF KILLED.

THE WIFS OBTAINS A JUDGMENT, Orders Issued to Ee'za Eer Ensband'a Proparty Whiaaver Pound- The Action Believed to Be tha Result of the Baron's Assertion That He Woeild Not Hereafter Be Responsible for His ife's Says That Ho Never Pays a Debt Unless Compelled to Do So By Law. New York, May 3.

Tha domestic difficulties between Baron and Baroness Blanc have developed iuto open warfare. The Baroness has obtained an execution from the Supreme Court to satisfy a $40, 000 judgement which she obtained some time ago against Laro Blanc's Litofuga Manufacturing Company, til John street, this city, which produces a compound for the presevation of boilers. The execution was placed into, the hands, of a deputy sheriff -with orders so seize on any properly he found. This action of the Baronnss'is believed to have been precipitated by the action of the Baron in having inserted in a morning paper -that he would not here- after be responsible, for his wife's debts. The Baroness, when seen by a reporter at the Allermnrln was indignant over the advertisement.

She declared that instead of the Baron advertising her it was she that should have advertised the Baron'. She said that when siio married the Baron, five years ago, ho was a civil engineer, employed by the Underground railroad. She said that she had paid, most of his debts siiiee, and had expended a large sum of money, in p-iying tho greater part of expenses incurred in foreign travel by both the Baron and herself. She concluded by sayinu that tho Baron never paid it deb.t unless he was compelled to by the law. In accordance with, the order of the Supreme Court theoueWII has taken possession of the manufactory of Baron Blanc, on John street, and closed it up.

Keeley is responsible for her husband's death and demands $1,000. PAIGE PLEADS GUILTY. Remanded for Sentence on One of Many Iudictmonts for Forgery. Cleveland, May 3. Ralph R.

She Was to Have Assisted In the Distribution of America's Contribution to the Famine Sufferers, But Russia Objected to Her, as It Was Charged that She Had Been a Socialistic Agitator Abroad If She Has Gone There May Be Trouble New York, May 3. Complications of a perplexing nature have beset the com- mittee of ladies designated by Miss Clara 1 Barton, head of the Red Cross Society, to' deliver in Russia the cargo of grain collected by the women of Iowa for the 1 starving peasantry, which was shipped yesterday in the steamship Tynehead. Mrs. Theophila Kraenier, a beautiful and accomplished woman, a Pole by 'birth and a rare linguist, is the wife of Felix Kreamer, a trusted employee of Stein.way Sons. She desired to ac-j company the delegation, and through the influence of Airs.

M. Louis Thomas of this city, who heads the delegation, Mrs. Kreamer was appointed. It was thought by Miss Barton and Mrs. Thomas that the selection was an exceed-i ingly fortunate one because of Mrs.

Kraemer's personal charm and her iamiiiariiy wim me nussiuu language. A few days' ago, however, Alexander Greger, Charge d' Affairs of the Russian Legation at Washsngton, called on' Mrs. Thomas and stated that he was sent by 'the Russian Minister, Charles de Struve, to say that Mrs: Kraenier was known to be a Socialist, and that her record in Poland was such that the Russian Government would object to receiving her as one of the delegation. Accordingly Mrs. Kraemer's name has been dropped from the list, as the ladies in charge desire to avoid even the appearance of irritating the well-known sensitiveness of the Russian Government as to alleged political intriguers.

Mrs. Thomas will sail on the City of Paris witnout Mrs. Kraenier. It is reported that Mrs. Kraemer has already started for Russia on her own hook.

This seems to be the unanimous opinion of those most concerned in the matter. If she has it is very likely that she will get herself into trouble on the other side and possibly bring about a bad feeling between the Russian authorities and those persons in America whose sole object now is to aid in the famine sufferers. Mrs. Thomas, in speaking to a reporter ubout the alleged departure of Mrs. Kraemer, said that from what she knew of Mrs.

Kraemer's character she felt quite sure that the woman, made desperate by disappointment, bad started on her mission alone. It is known that two weeks ago Mrs. Kraemer obtained passports for foreign travel. Her house at Steinway was closed a fortnight ago and a large sign 'To Let," nailed upon the door. A man who knew her well throughout her entire career in this city, said tb-day: That woman has gone to Russia.

I am sure of it. She had set her heart on going with the Red Cross people, and had boasted so much to her Polish friends here of how she was going to aid their cause, that now, if for no other reason she has been-thwarted, she would make the attempt out of pure pique and bravado. She is a determined sort of woman, bound to have her own way. She had it with her three husbands. Now she expects she will have equally good fortune in this matter." Mrs.

Kraemer came to this country from Poland about ten years ago. Here she has had three husbands. Felix Kraemer, a salesman for Steinway was her latest husband. They separated about a year ago, when Mrs, Kraemer achieved a good deal of notoriety by riding at the head of a Polish procession and afterward making an incendiary speech at Cooper Union. If Mrs.

Kraemer has really gone to Russia she will very likely get bersolf and her friends in this country into no end of trouble. ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED. A Pittsburg East Bound Express Collides With a Freight Train. Pittsbuho, May 3. Second section of No.

Bound His Hands and Feet and Then Ctckad Himself to Death- Staffed HU Month Fall or th Meat While Bitting on the Floor of the Jail BathroomHis Appearance After Death Indicated That He Had Made a Desperate 6traggle to Free Himself He Was a Prisoner for Debt. New York! May 8. Joseph Silberg, aged 89, who was confined in the Queens County Jail at Long Island City for debt, has just ended his life under peculiar circumstances.

Silberg, who was not locked in a cell like the ordinary prisoners, had the privileges of the corridor, and about 1:30 o'clock he went to the bathroom, where he first tied his hands with a handkerchief and strapped his feet at the ankles with a strap. He then managed to stuff his mouth full of smoked beef, while sitting on the floor in an upright position. In this way he choked himself to death. It was some time afterward when he was found dead by the jailer. The position in which Silberg was found showed that he had not died without a desperate struggle, and that if he had not previously pinioned his arms and legs he would have undone the work which caused his death.

His features were horribly, distorted, the eyes staring wide open. The fingernails were so deeply imbedded in the palms of the hands that blood had been drawn. The strap with which he had bound his ankles together had, by the great pressure he exerted in his struggle to free himself, left broad red marks on the flesh, and the hands were swollen and discolored by the stopping of the circulation of the blood, before, death, by the tightly bound handkerchief. Silberg lived at Hempstead, and had a wife and four children. He became indebted to.

John Clesslin, of New York, and the latter obtainad a judgment against him and had him committed to jail in default of payment. He was a Hebrew, and had been engaged in the dry goods business. He was committed to jail on April 22. The body will be sent to Hemstead for burial. THE UEOG EXPLOSION.

The CitJ In a State of Excitement and the Gnards Reinforced. Liege, May 3. The dynamite explosion at the house of the commander of the civic guard, Monday night has thrown the city into a state of great ex-citemont and the guards have been doubled and other precautionary measures taken to guard against the Anarchist bombs. The house was completely Wrecked. Doors, half of the first siory wall and the storm steps were smashed and strewn along the pavement The large paving stones in front of the house were split, and directly before the steps a gap six feet deep was torn.

The ceilings fell throughout the house, two chandeliers fell, and every bit of glass, Including the wine bottles in the cellar, was broken. The shock shook the houses for a radius of 300 yards, and- many within a radius of 200 yards were seriously damaged. The commander of the civic guard had left the city with his family. He had been warned repeatedly since the calling out of the civic guard- for May Day that any attempt of the guard to discipline the Anarchists would mean his death. He therefore lei't late Sunday night after passing the day in the city and issuing many of the orders to his men in the riots of the evening.

The maid servant, who started to answer the ring at the door, was thrown on her back by the shock and was picked up five minutes later in an unconscious condition. She recovered and is apparently without serious injury. The plan of the dynamitard apparently was to have the bomb explode while the door was open and kill the servant and anybody else that might be in the front part of the house. A crowd of panic-stricken neighbors gathered before the house and one of them told the police that he had seen a German hurrying away from the commander's bouse just before the explosion. He described the man, and upon strength of his description the police have arrested a German commercial traveler, whose name they refuse to divulge.

The police while apparently active, are very'retlcent. The Quarrymen's Strike. New Haven, May' 8.
