Congress of Women.
French women are anxious to call
another international congress of women
to Paris during the exposition, which
will be similar to the one held in Wash-
ington last year. The committee of or-
ganization has been appointed and ac-
cepted by the ministry. It consists of
some very high personages, a member of
the academy, a deputy, senators, judges,
Jews, Catholics, Protestants and several
famous women. The delegates to the
congress will, of course, be all women.

“Pa,” plaintively pleaded petit Pierre,
popularly known as “Petey,” the other
morning, “I really canpot go to school

“Then you may stay at home,” kindly
responded Petey’s father, who, despite
his rough exterior, had a warm heart
beating in his breast.
“So you lied to me, you young rascal,”
fiercely exclaimed Petey’s father when
he saw petit Pierre fishing in the creek.

to Kerbyville, immediately in the neighbor-
hood of Capt. Kinney’s old home. Sheriff
Branson, accompanied by Detective Funk,
went to the celebration at Kerbyville also.
Nothing happened as an indication of the
coming tragedy until about 4 o’clock in the
afternoon, when some one came and told the
sheriff and Funk that the Miles boys were dis-
playing pistols at the spring. The sheriff and
the detective started to the spring to see what
the Mileses were doing. Funk was some dis-
tance ahead of Branson, and accosted Bill
Miles first, asking him his name and demand-
ing his arms. It is claimed by the friends of
Branson that no violence was threatened, and
that the intention of the officer was merely
|bo disarm the Mileses in discharge of his duty.
“Before Funk had more than made known
his business it was asserted by the Branson
faction that Jim Miles drew his pistol, and,
stepping to the rear of the detective, shot
him in the back. As Funk reeled and turned,
Jim fired again, the ball entering the right
side, both shots being fatal. By this time
Branson had advanced within five or six
steps of the Mileses, and Bill opened fire on
the sheriff, his first shot striking the cheek
under the left eye, penetrating the brain and
lodging against the skull, a little forward of
the right ear. The next shot from Bill Miles’
pistol struck Branson in the leg below the
knee.
“The friends of Branson consider the killing
deliberate murder. The militia party hold
that there was a plot formed to kill the Miles
boys, and that the latter acted in self de-
fense. ”
Jim, who was wounded, was carried some
distance by his brothers, but was finally cap-
tured and taken to jail. After Bill had trav-
eled around several days he was finally
taken in the vicinity of Springfield.
ROBERT BROWNING.
tains one letter in which appear a few sen-
tences, well enough to be set down in a pri-
vate letter perhaps, but hardly to be put
forth in a printed book in good taste. They
are here given as sent by cable to America:
“Mrs. Browning’s death is rather a relief
to me, I must say. No more Aurora Leighs,
thank God! A woman of real genius, I
know, but what is the upshot of it all? She
and her sex had better mind the kitchen
and their children, and perhaps the poor.
Except in such things as little novels, they
only devote themselves to what men do much
better, leaving that which men do worse
or not at all.”
When Browning read this matter he de-
cided that the memory of Elizabeth Bar-
rett Browning ought to be vindicated
at once, especially as there was a chance
for a good stroke of advertising in the
vindication. Some sensible men would
have passed the matter by in silent contempt,
but not Browning. So he produced the fol-
lowing, and the editor of The Athenaeum
unkindly accorded the stuff space in his
journal:
To Edward Fitzgerald:
I chanced upon a new book yesterday;
I opened it, and where my finger lay
’Twixt page and uncut page these words I read—
Some six or seven at most—and learned thereby
That you, Fitzgerald, whom by ear and eye
She never knew, thanked God my wife was dead.
Ay, dead, and were yourself alive, good Fitz.
How to return you thanks would task my wits.
Kicking you seems the common lot of curs,
While more appropriate greeting lends you grace;
Surely to spit there glorifies your face—
Spitting—from lips once sanctified by hers.
Browning’s friends are mortified, of course,
but hardly more so than the friends of the
editor of the book on Mr. Fitzgerald, the man
who was glad of Mrs. Browning’s death.
But the whole business amounts to a first
class “ad.,’’ not only for Browning, but for
the aforesaid book about Mr. Fitzgerald and
his private and other letters.

A Holdover Slaveholder.
At Miami Messrs. Jones and Robert Wy-
lie, who recently finished their trip from
Tarpon Springs in the little steamer Mar-
garet to a point on Indian river, had the
pleasure of meeting the only genuine
slaveholder in the land of the free, namely
the Hon. Cypress Tiger, of the Everglade
Seminoles. When crops are good and
there is a scarcity of labor in Mr. Tiger’®
dominions, he is believed to sally forth
into the neighboring settled country and
lasso a few negroes, who are taken into
the glades and consigned to unlawful
servitude. ••Injun’s niggers no free.”
says Tiger, when it is intimated to him
that slavery has been abolished. Some
fifteen years ago the country laughed
over the story, given in lengthy detail,
of the old cracker from somewhere near
the jumping off place, who drove his cart
into St. Augustine and offered a fine, big,
sleek looking negro for sale, as he needed
a little extra money, and it will probably
receive the story of Tiger’s practices in
the same away. But it is all the same to
Tiger.—Jacksonville Times-Union.

ers, Jim and Manu-
el, have the repu-
tation in Taney
county of not knowing what fear is.
After Miles had killed Kinney, he being a
trifle quicker with his gun, things settled
down a little. But there had been a sharp
line drawn between the Bald Knobbers and
the Anti-Bald Knobbers, and at present the
relations are somewhat strained.
THE PRESENT DIFFICULTY.
The origin of the present difficulty began
some time ago. Edward Funk and James H.
Dennis, two detectives about 25 years of age.
came into Taney county from Eureka
Springs, Ark., and concocted a scheme to en-
trap Arbert Combsand Austin Stockstill, two
young men who were members of two power-
ful and numerous families in Taney county,
by inducing them to rob the store of one
Cummings. They did it in this wise. Funk
stayed in Forsyth and Dennis went to the
Stockstill and Combs settlement, at the mouth
of Bear creek, and hired out as a farm hand.
He ingratiated himself into the graces of
young Combs and Stockstill, represented him-
self to be a tough character, and finally pro-
posed that the trio rob Cummings’ store. The
two victims fell into his trap. Then he told
Cummings about it, got his keys to the stere
and arranged to have Sheriff Branson and
Funk near by on the night of the attempt.
The night came around, and Dennis un-
locked the door with the keys Cummings had
given him, and sent Combs and Stockstill in-
side to gather the plunder, while he stayed
outside, as he said, to keep watch. When the
robbers had entered the store Dennis gave
the signal, and they were rushed on by the
two detectives and the sheriff. Combs ran
out, and on his way shot Dennis dead. The
next day he was arrested for murder. Stock-
still was caught in the store. At the inquest
held over the body of Deunis, Funk made a
violent speech, and justified the course pur-
sued by his dead friend in entrapping Combs
and Stockstill.
The entire Combs and Stockstill families,
who had been zealous Bald Knobbers and
supported Branson for sheriff, now turned
around and denounced him for favoring the
methods of Dennis and Funk, and thus there
resulted a split in the Bald Knobber ele-
ment. The feeling against Funk became
very strong, for tile people did not indorse
their patent burglar trap.
Thus we have two parties. On one side
Sheriff Branson, one of the original Bald
Knobbers, Detective Funk and their sympa
thizers; on the other side the Miles boys, the
Combs and Stockstill families and their sym-
pathizers. It was natural, therefore, that on
the Fourth of July, the day of the celebra-
tion at Kerbyville, when both parties were
brought together, some trouble should ensue,
and it is here graphically related by a cor-
respondent of The Globe-Democrat.
A LIVELY FOURTH.

A Modern Absalom.
Peter Anderson, who is visiting rela-
tives here, has the most wonderful hir-
sute development in the United States.
He is a good looking young man about
21 years of age. He was born in Wis-
consin, and is a veritable Absalom. His
hair is about ten inches loi<?g, of an ashy
brown color, and each particular one
stands on end—not like quills—but like
wool on a sheep,
look and feeling.
Mr. Anderson can wear neither hat
nor cap, but instead a silk turban, with
a light elastic band drawn over and down
to the scalp, above which it bulges out
about fifteen inches in diameter, and the
cubic contents of which are about equal
to that of a peck measure.—Rushford

lady and her innocent appearing son of about
3 years, sat a man with a glass eye.
The youngster had been gazing intently on
his victim for some time. All at once he ap-
peared very uneasy, when, to the great
amusement of the passengers, he exclaimed:
“Say, mister, why don’t you wink at ma
with the other eye, too?”—Life.
“AGE CANNOT WITHER HER,”
remarked an old gentleman, as hft gazed
fondly upon the comely little woman by his
side; ‘ but frankly,” he continued, “ at one
time I was afraid cosmetics would. The silly
little woman, in order to appear youthful,
plastered her face with different varieties of
whitewash, yclept ‘balms,’ ‘creams,’ ‘lotions,’
etc.” “Yes,” interrupted the little woman,
“ I did, until my skin became like parchment
and so pimply and coarse.” “Well,” said the
listener, “What do you use now?” “Use,”
was the reply, “nothing but common sense
and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
Common sense told me that if my blood was
pure, liver active, appetite and digestion good,
that the outward woman would take on the
hue of health. The ‘ Discovery ’ did all those
things and actually rejuvenated me.” If you
would possess a clear, beautiful complexion,
free from blotches, pimples, eruptions, yellow
spots and roughness, use the “ Golden Med-
ical Discovery.” It is guaranteed to do
all that it is claimed to, or money paid
for it will fee promptly refunded.

Do You Want a Situation ? Do You Want to Em-
How the Bald Knobbers Were First Or-
ganized, and a History of the Recent
Split in the Order—Pistols Were Used
Altogether.
About a year ago the whole Bald Knobber
region in southwestern Missouri, the center
of which is Taney county, was stirred up
over the shooting to death of Capt. N. N.
Kinney, the man who organized the order.
Capt. Kinney was shot on Aug. 21, 1888, by
William M. Miles, a young man of 22. People
who were acquainted with the history of ths
Bald Knobbers predicted at that time that
the death of Capt. Kinney would stop all the
trouble, but it has been smoldering ever
since, and recently broke out afresh when
the three Miles boys, Manuel, William M.
and Jim, shot and killed Sheriff Branson and
Detective Funk at Kirbyville, near Capt.
Kinney’s old home, on July 4.
Sheriff G. E. Branson was one of the
original Bald Knobbers, and was associated
with Capt. Kinney when the order was first
formed. Capt. Kinney was originally u sa-
loon keeper in Springfield, Mo. In 1883 he
moved to Taney county, and he became very
much incensed at the depredations which
were committed on life and property. It
was claimed that since the close of the war
all the way from twenty-two to thirty-two
murders had been committed, and in no case
had the murderers been punished. The lives
and property of the people were in constant
danger, and Capt. Kinney argued that this
thing ought to be stopped. The officials of
the county, on the other hand, declared that
Kinney was not a person to pass judgment
on the morals of a community. Capt. Kin-
ney was. warned by his friends that his life
would be in danger, but he replied that he
would have a finger in the pie when the time
came.
In the mean time J. M. Everett, who was
one of Capt. Kinney’s best friends in For-
syth, the county seat of Taney county, and
who was referred to as “a prominent mer-
chant of the town in the liquor business,”
was deliberately shot down by one Al Lay-
ton, .who had been playing billiards in his
place. Layton fell into a dispute with one
Hull with whom he was playing, and while
they were fighting Everett came out and
separated them, holding Layton down.
Finally, however, he let Layton up, a mis-
take on his part, for, although he was un-
armed, Layton shot him dead at once. In
October, 1.884, a jury returned a verdict of
“not guilty.”
' THE BALD KNOBBERS FORMED.
Then it was that Kinney determined to act,,
and in January he called together a number
of citizens to consider means to protect them-
selves and enforce justice. A second meeting
was held on Bald Knob, a prominent peak
eight miles west of Forsyth, on April 5,
1885. Hence the name of the order.
The organization proved to be a very pow-
erful one, and in the secrecy and swiftness of
its work, which at the first was only for the
public’s good, was a terror to all law break-
ers. But the great power which the Bald
Knobbers found themselves possessed of led
them, after they had accomplished the pur-
pose for which they had been organized, to
use. it to further their own private ends. The
good citizens who had belonged to the order
deserted it, and then arose Bill Miles, one of
the three Miles’ boys, who determined upon
the overthrow of Capt. Kinney.

The Verses with Which He Brought Him-
self Before the Public Again.
Robert Browning has a horror of being for-
gotten by the dear public—the dear public,
two thirds of whose individual members
never read his verses, or reading, cry out,
“Rats!” while the other third read, are en-
tranced and feel grieved and insulted because
all do not appreciate as they do the versifica-
tion of their beloved prophet.
Of late the dear public has heard little of
Browning, but now all those members of it
that call themselves literary, besides many
people who are simply sensible business and
workingmenand women, are talking of him.
How was it brought about?
