EATWAED CEIEF CONSPIRATOE.
The Murder Was Planned to Secure MJm
Ging's Iife Insurance Money Tlie Con
fession of Janitor Blixt, Who Fired the
Fatal Sliot at IIaywar'g Bidding-.
Minneapolis, Dec. 10. The confession
of A dry Hayward reveals tho whole plpt
by which Miss Catherine Ging, the dress
maker, came to her terrible death on the
6hore of Lake Calhoun Monday night,
Her life had been insured, and she was
killed that her lover, Harry Hayward, who
Instigated the crime, might realize upon
the policies, which had been transferred to
him. The whole plot was hatched up after
the publication of the Holmes insurance
Bwiudle, and was unquestionably the out
growth of it.
, Young Hayward, who is of respectable
parentage, a swell in society and the be
trothed of the daughter of C. J. Bartle
son. a leading attorney, seems to have
had some strange control of Miss Ging.
No breath of scandal had ever attached o
her name, yet since her murder it has been
developed that she was infatuated with
the man, and had repeatedly furnished
him large" sums of money with which to
gamble, she being a partner in his enter
prises. .
At first he let her win. She had given
him more than 11,000 at a time with which
to "play the bank," but after the first play
or two ha always lost. Finally, when she
had no mere money, and when he-was in
desperate straits, he suggested that she em
bark in business on a larger scale.
He would furnish tho capital $7,000 was
the figure, lie wo uld secure a loan from
a friend if she would insure her life in his
favor for f lO.iKW. This she did. and the
I policies wers transferred f Hayward.
j Then she demanded the money. He gave
I it to her in counterfeit goods. The con
trol which he had over her made it an easy
matter for hiia to induce her to deposit
the money in a safety vault instead 'of
banking it, where its worthlessness would
be discovered, but she was immediately af
terward so determined upon embarking in
business that Hayward not only saw ex
posure from the counterfeit money deal
staring him in the face, but realized aa
well that ho would lose the f 10,000 insur
ance on her life. " '
He at once determined upon her mur
der in order to secure the return of the
counterfeit money, as well as to realize
npon the life insurance. He called into
council his senior brother, Adry A. Hay
ward, and urged him to join in the plot.
Adry refused, but he, too, was under
Harry's spell, and when Harry threatened
to murtler hiin if he made a whimper Adry
subsided. The plot, however, went on,
and Harry found a willing tool in tho per
son of Claus A. Blixt, engineer of his
father's flats.
Blixt called Mayor Eustis and the chief
of police to his cell, last night and con
fessed that he fired the fatal shot. He say a
that Hayward had persuaded Miss Ging
that "green goods" could be easily circu
lated through the medium of her business
as a dressmaker. She, having always had
an insane idea to get rich easily, fell in
with the idea.
On the night of the murder Hayward
had told her that he had arranged for her
to meet a green goods dealer on the out
skirts of the city. They started off on the
ride tcjrot her. About twelve blocks from
Ozark fhirs they met Blixt. Hayward in
duced her to let Blixt drive her to the
.place of meeting, with the assurance to
her that he would himself follow immed
iately in another buggy and be present at
the meeting.
Blixt then drove the woman out to the
old Excelsior road, and called her atten
tion to a piissing object. As she turned
her head to leok out of her side of the
bxiggy he shot -her. Hayward, instead of
following Klixt returned to the Ozark fiats
and afterwards went to the theater.
AH of the conspirators' are now in jail,
and it is believed their conviction is as
sured. '

DEATH OF E WM.
The Famous Proiector and Con
structor of tlie- Suez Canal.
BRIEF SEETOH CP HI3
For Many Years He Served in the Diplo

Canal Caused II is Oowufall.
Paths, Dee. 8. O jmta Ferdinand da Loa
seps, died yesterday, at .Lachcnnie, near
Vatan, in t U department of IT mire.- Dur
ing the n'urht he received the last sacra
ment, and hi: physicians remained at hid
bedside from Thursday evening, ' from
which time his death was expected at every
moment. Com to d-; Lessepa had been in
a very fecbia condition ever, since the
Panama canal exposures.
Viscount Ferdinand-de Lesseps, G. C. S.
I., was born at Versailles, France, Nov. 19,
1805. In 1823 he entered the diplomatic
service aa an attache of the consulate at
Lisbon, and subsequently served in like
TITE LATE FECDTNASD DE LESSEPS.
positions elsewhere. He was consul at
Barcelona in 1S43 when that city was bom
barded, and was zealous in the protection
of the lives and property of French citi
zens and afforded an asylum to Spaniards
on board the vessels of the French flee.
In 1818 M. de Lesseps was appointed
French minister 1 1 Madrid, but was suc
ceeded by Pri uce Napoleon Joseph Bona
parte in about a year. The , former was
then appointed miuister to Switzerland,
but soon after was sent' on an important
diplomatic mission to Italy.
Comte ile Lesseps was among the first
to urge tun expediency of constructing a
canal across the Isthmus of Suez, connect
ing the Mediterranean with the Red sea.
After unremitting effort for many years
he obtained a firman from , Said Pasha in
1S51, and eulistin,1? French and English
capitalists undertook tho work, which was
vigorously prosecuted to completion de
spite many obstacles that would have dis
couraged a less resolute man. Decorations
were showered upon hiin by nearly every '
sovereign of Europe, and honors were con
ferred upon him by learned societies in all
parts of the world.
Turning his attention to tho new worlds
M. de Lesseps undertook tho construction
of a canal acro.;s tho Isthmus of Panama.
The original capital of the company, 030,
000,000 francs, was exhausted, when the
subscribers refused to advan ce more money
and the enterprise was abandoned. De
Lesseps' private fortune was also absorbed
in the undertaking, and he was left com
paratively poor. 113 continued his efforts
to procure mvans with which to prosecute
the work, but capital was timid, and ho
was unable to procure the necessary assist
ance. Then came the report of fraud in connec
tion with the Panama canal loan and lot
tery schemes. . At first but a murmur, it
became a rumble which developed into a
roar when Deroulede committed suicide
and .lu4 damning revelations against prom
inent Frenchmen were published. The
storm shivered honored names and tore ex
alted reputations ta tatters in its fury. De
Lesseps and his sou and' three others were
found guilty of fraudulent proceeding
and were sentenced on Feb. 9, 1803, the
elder De Lesseps being heavily fined and
condemned to five years' imprisonment.
No attempt was made in his case, however,
to execute the sentence, which was finally
set aside by the court of cessation.
It is doubtful whether the old man ever
realized the calamity and the disgrace that
had" overtaken him. When he was put
under arrest at his home he had apparently
some vague idea of impending menace to
his reputation, and he put on his orders
and his star of the Legion of Honor before
receiving the officers of the law. He was
not molested further, and never knew that
he had been tried, convicted and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment. Even the
fact of his son's sentence was mercifully
kept from him, and he was permitted to
die in peace. For many months before his
death his memory was a blank, and it was
only at rare intervals that there was any
flash of intelligence in the brain that had
once been so active.
In February last Comte de Lesseps re
signed the presidency of tlie Suez Canal
company, and was made honorary presi
dent. An effort was made to have him
expelled from the Legion of Honor, but it
was finally abandoned, and to millions of
Frenchmen he remained "'La Grand Fran
cais" to the dav of his death.

subject of athletics the Rev, Madison C.
Peters said hst night in his prelude: "I
am an enthusiast for athletics. The gym
nasium of today will prevent the dyspepsia
of tomorrow. "But I protest against smash

souls out of men's bodies in the name of

THE TREATY WITH JAPAN,

Modern Nation.
Washington-, Dec. 10. The new treaty
bet ween the' United States and Japan ia
the main subject of comment in diplo

treaty shows how fully the United States
ha3 accorded Japan tlu recognition she
now has as an eniijrhtened, modern na
tion. Running throughout the new
treaty are the concessions recognizing her
courts and laws as ample for Americans j
as well its natives. This is the chief fea- j

The right of Japan to make her own
tariff laws is also recognized. Heretofore
the United States has been freeto make
such tariil laws as she saw fit affecting
Japan, but tho latter was forbidden by
treaty from fixing duties above 5 per cent,

recognizes the general statutory laws of
Japan concerning the tariff, and articles

have over 250 public schools, several

They hold not by right of conquest, but
by concession of the American Govern
ment by treaty. Shall they be dis
turbed? The Philadelphia Record
says:
It would seem folly needlessly to
tne lawlessness tnrougnoui tne ano-
mnlously regulated region would un
doubtedly be diminished to a reason
able degree. Many intruders maintain
a shadow of a right to residence by
herding cattle in the name of natives
and nominally under leases. The
authority of the United States has al
ready bepn appealed to for their ejec
tion. These intruders constitute a
very powerful body, and. among the
Chickasaws are said actually to out
number the Indians themselves. They
are not recognized as having any tribal
rights, however, and it would seem as
tho 'gh the Interior Department should
be able to solve the problem of these
settlers successfully." Wilmington

The Pains of liheuuiatum '
According to the best authorities,
originate in morbid conditions of the
blood. Lactic acid caused by the de
composition of the gelatinous and al
buminous tissues, circulates with the
blood and attacks the fibrous tissues,
particularly in the joints, and thus
causes the local manifestations of the .
disease. The back and shoulders are
the parts usually affected by rheuma
tism, and the joints at the knees,
ankles, hips and wrists are also some
times attacked. Thousands of people
have found in Hood's Sarsaparilla a
positive and permanent cure for -rheu-mafism.
It has had remarkable suc
cess in curing the most severe cases.'
The secret of it is that it attacks at
once the cause of the disease by ntxx
tralizing the lactic acid and purifying
the blood, as well as strengthening
every'fuction of the body.

seriously. A young man who has a
muscular eye affliction that causes an
involuntary blinking, was seated at the
table in front of a xopng man and his
wife. Every time he looked up from
his plate he would apparently wink at
the young woman. The husband got
madder and madder, as the dinner
progressed; and finally he jumped up
and threw the involuntary winker from
the table. A free fight was likely, but
mutual friends separated the comba
tants long enough for an explanation.
