""" " l ' ... - - THE BENDERS. Till. MOST ATROCIorS DESPER ADOKS OF THE AVEiT. jjow They Worked. A Woman. Vhose l'Ieanre Was Assassina tion in Cokl Blood Ten Victims in One Grave. The story of the Lender family illus trates the possibilities for crime and gain tli.it ft new country sparsely settled always furnisL.es. The Bender family consisie I of an old man and his wife and a sjii ami daughter Kate. They kept a sort of wayside inn, with a saloon attach ment, about ten miles west of a little vil lage called (alcsbuig,in Neosho County, Kansas. Here travelers often put up for the night, and it was usually the case that they took lodgings for eternity. Their scheme was an ingenious one, and it was successfully played upon many a lonely man travelingthroughthe country, whose doom was forever sealed the instant he darkened the lenders' door. When thev saw a traveler approaching sme member of the family would stray out of the house and busy himself by the wayside, and as the traveler came along would ac cost him in a pleasant manner, asking him whore he was going, and if the time was anywhere about nightfall, he would be assured that he could not reach his destinations and proposed that he step in and remain over night. Such an ap parently hospitable oiler was seldom de clined. The interior of the house was pur posely arranged for the double purpose of murder and robbery. The front room was separated from the back by a thin curtain, arranged similar to those that are put over folding doors. When a man entered whom they intended to rob and murder, he would be invited to take a chair with his back to the curtain, so that when he sat down his head would be against the curtain. Sometimes sev eral travelers stopped over night at once, on which occasion as many members of the family as possible would secret them selves bthind the curtain, and, each se lecting a victim, would await the right moment to brain them. If a stranger came along, who for any reason chose to change his seat, then the family became exceedingly jocose and entertaining. The old man told funny stories of early times and hair-breadth escapes on the plains. Games were proposed and all sorts of merriment indulged in. Among the games would be one in which the traveler had to get down on his knees on a pillow and close his eyes. The pillow would be placed directly over the trap door, and at the right time Kate would step from the curtain, and, dealing the kneeling victim a blow on the back of the head with a large hammer, follow it up by a blow on the temple with a smaller hammer, which finished the traveler. The trap-door was then pulled and the victim fell into the cellar below. People were missed, and there were frequent inquires for strangers who had been seen in the town of Neosho, but whose whereabouts could be traced no further than the neighborhood of the Benders' house. The Benders were re garded as tough characters, but nothing of a positive character was known against them. The immediate cause of their discovery was a woman whose hus band resided in Eastern Kansas. He ex pected to settle in the western part of the State, and took his departure, agreeing to return by a certain time'and to bring his wife along. Time rolled on, and not re turning, his wife started in search of him. As luck would have it she was overtaken near night at the Benders', and took a room there. It was a room in the second story, and looking around she saw on the bureau a small locket which at once at tracted her attention. Opening it she saw a picture of herself that she recollected her husband always wore. Then her suspicions were thoroughly aroused, and the resolved to watch an opportunity to escape. She did not retire, but putting out her light resolved to watch by the window and await developments. It was a bright moonlight night and the window opened upon an orchard. Soon she saw a ithght moving around in a mysterious manner. Without making any noise she succeeded in making her escape. She moved toward the spot in the orchard and closely watched the movements of the people. When they had disappeared she rcen-t to the spot and found a newly made grave. Paralyzed with terror at the narrow and fortunate escape she had, for she realized that the grave was dug for herself, she remained upon the prairies 111 hiding until morning came, when, repairing to one of the neighbors, she re lated what she had seen, and shawed the locket as proof of her story. The news soon spread, and what had been mere suspicions before became hard facts as true as Holy Writ. A posse of citizens as at once organized and they repaired to the Bender resideuce, but the birds 4 flown. Their stock and cattle were found, and their horses tied to a wagon. They fol oived after iham, scouring the country, but whether they overtook them or not, meted out to them the grim justice tuatth-y so justly deserved, is one of the solved mysteries. On their return the mhors the po-e refused to talk, a;:d . jkere have ben -Hrious rumor hat the Uraily -scaped Hv.fi fled to Gem. . ttb THE i10R theh ill-gotten gains ; that thev are liviu- xx i.a!s or .Mexico. There were a number of graves found on tho Bender place, ten being in one spot besides several bodies in the cellar The hammers that were used bv Kate the daughter, who is described 'as the most fiendish of the gan, are now in the possess'on of a man named Bailev who holds an olMciai position in Parsons' Kan. She was a repulsive looking, lar-e-boned, raw and awkward woman, with a snaking gait and masculine way Her fo.ehead waslow, her eyes deep-set in her head, and her lips thick and chin and lower jaw large. ( Id man Tender had an unkempt appearance, with Ion shagglety hair, and a full bea-d that was scraggly and dirty. The father and daughter were two as repuUive-iookhu. beings as could be conjured up, and their many crimes entitle th..., i r. o i.i iug place in the criminal history' of ! A Chinese Restaurant. In Chinatown are six restaurants of the regulation Canton style. The one at 1G Mott street, the King Fang Ian, is the best and is well worthy of a visit. The room is gaudily painted and is decorated m a manner that must be seen to be ap preciated. A scarlet quotation from Confucius glares out at one from beside a notice that the house will not be re sponsible for umbrellas. A portrait of some Mongolian divinity or mythic hero supports a walnut-framed li God Bless Our Home," embroidered in green b'ue and purple. The tables are round', neat and high. Instead of chairs elevated counting-house stools are used by the patrons. At this time of the year the average dinner at the King Fang Lan begins with some pastry resembling an orange in shape and appearance and a thick stringy candy in taste and con sistence. The next course is small yel low cake, inclosing jelly, candy dia monds made of peanuts, sesame seed and white sugar and light, snow-white cakes full of mince-pie-like composition. The third course is a row ot cylindrical dumplings filled with chopped spiced meats. The fourth, plates of crescent shaped pearl-colored bars of dona-.. stuffed with minced fish and condiments ! The fifth, a composite stew strongly sa voring of beefsteak and onions, but con taining at least a dozen different ingre dients. The sixth, perfumed pork and rice, and the last a bowl of soup. The only drinks used are black tea, no-ma-dhaio and ung-ka-peh. The cost was 79 cents, for the tea nothing and for the two wines and liquors 40 cents. The service, though strangely odd, was neat and clean. To each guest is given a bowl, a tiny cup for alcoholic drinks, a porcelain spoon, two ebony chop-sticks, four teacups and saucers, and three diminutive plates, containing sauces, resembling Worcester shire, Chutney and mustard dressing. A table holds four guests comfortably, and all eat directly from the same dish. To eat rice and similar foods the bowl is held close to the lower lip and the con tents shoveled or pushed with the chop sticks into the mouth. In eating other foods the guest seizes a mouthful from the general dish with the sticks, plunges it into one or more of his sauces, lets it drain a second in the rice-bowl and then throws it into his mouth. The cooking would delight Miss Par loa. Where the Caucasian boils the Chinese more frequently steams. Rice, dumplings, pastry and many meats and vegetables are steamed inside of a tin cylinder that looks like an inverted water boiler suspended by a rope over a pulley in the ceiling. This enables the Mongolian cook to produce effects that are handsome to even an American eye. Where the New York housekeeper fries, the son of Confucius boils in a very effective manner. The dish he uses that corresponds to our frying pan, is a globular .pan, fitting the stove-hole tightly, and immediately over the hot test fire hickory wood will produce. Water in this pan explodes rather than boils, so high is the heat. It cooks in a way unknown to our cooks, but worthy of imitation by them. JVew Tori World. Fires in Russia. The same precautions against fires are taken in Moscow and St. Petersburg to day that were in use a century ago. Scores of towers are everywhere seen. They run up about seventy-five to one hundred feet, are built like a lighthouse, with winding stairway, and have a plat form all around at the top, where the watchman patrols day and night. If a fire is discovered, a signal is given and the Fire Department turns out. It was only recently that St. Petersburg, the cubital, with hundreds of millions of government property, secured a steam fire i engine. And that is a poor, old-fashioned affair. The hand engine does service there yet, as in most other cities in the Empire. When a fire breaks out the streets are cleared for such a department display as an American town would make. People go wild, talk loud, and get in the way, and when the fire burns out the Fire Department goes back to watch the towers for another signal. Kansas City Journal.

Miss .Mollie Bergen, a lass of sixteen summers, whoso parents reside on Pool's Slough, Yaquina, heard the dor making a great noise the other morning, and on loo ;ng out saw a ueer lumn into the slough. She stepped quickly into the fcoase, picked up her father's Winchester, returned to the door, raised the rifle and fired. The first shot struck the animal in the head, the second in the shoulder and the third and list went through the animals heart, killing it. She" .thsn stepped down t ) the bank of the slough, ur.moore smr. 1 boat, rowed to where the buck lay floating in the water, pulled tne carcass into the boat aad succeeded in getting it oa shore before any of the men folks appeared.

It has been asserted that there has been a gradual decrease of b.ondes in Germany. Almost 11, 000,000 school children were examined m Germany, Austria and Belgium, and the result showed that Switzerland has only 11.10; Austria, 19.70, and Ger many, 31.S0 per cent., of pure blondes. Thus the country, which since the days of ancient Rome has been proverbially known as the home cf yellow hair, has to-day only twenty-two pure blondes in 100, while the average of pure brunettes is fourteen per cent. The fiftv-th-ee per cent, of the mixed type are said to be undergoing a transformation into pure brunettes. Dr. Pedloe, in England, has collected a number of statistics which seem to point in the same direc tion. Among 72G women he examined he found 3(H) brunettes and 337 blondes. Of the brunettes he found that seventy eight per cent, were married, while of the blondes only sixty-eight per cent, v; ere married. Thus it would seem that a brunette had ten chances of rettin married to a blonde's nine. In France a similar view has been put forth by M Adolph de Candolle. 31. de Candolle found that when both parents have eyes of the same color eighty-eight per cent, inherit this color. But it is a curious fact that more females than males have black or brown eyes to the porportiou of forty-five to forty-three. It seems that with different colored eves in the two parents fifty-three per cent, follow the father in being dark eyed. An in crease of five per cent, of dark eyes in each generation must tell in the course of time. Toronto Truth. 3Irs. Cleveland's Mall. An early riser, like the President, his wife is also, like her husband, busy dur ing the day. She doe not assume the management of the house, beyond such occasional supervision as may be necessary to maintain order and regularity. The morning brings to her a volume of let ters that has been constantly growing A thoughtless writer in an otherwise friendly paragraph, wrote a while ao that Mrs. Cleveland personally responded to all letters received by her. An ava lanche followed. She had been receiv ing more letters than she could answer. Now there were more than she could take time to open; most of them con tained requests for scraps of her weddhrg iress. Distressed women, anxious to save a homestead, wrote for loans of 15,000 to $10,000, to "save the old place' One woman wrote to ask for a specified number of yards of velvet, that was to be mazarine blue in colcr, and in iddition she wished to have enough material for a wrap. Of application for lutographs and photographs there is no Jnd. To attempt to answer all these letters would be out of the question. To read mem all is unnecessary. If Mrs. Cleve land undertook to respond favorably to ill who write to her, she would keep a stenographer and photographer con stantly at work, she would gradually rob herself of her wardrobe, and she svould bankrupt the President. So a large part of the correspondence is turned )ver to one of the Executive clerks to be mswered with a printed form signed by Col. Lamont, Mrs. Cleveland personally responding only to letters from her per sonal friends.- Epoch, Fashion Xotes. Badger is a fine and deservedly popu lar trimming fur. Astrakhan and Persian lamb are com ing in favor again. Stoles and capes of fur are almost as fashionable as boas. Deaver is the favorite fur for young iadies shoulder capes. The most fashionable boas reach aeariy to the hem of the dress. Soft cap crowns are now finished with ?ap like knife pleated borders, double or triple, of the same velvet. In bonnets extremes meet, fur for the promenade being offset by tulle, lace and Bowers for theatre, or other dressy tvear. The English fancy for fine bonnets is a Jlender strap and bow of fur, in place of strings, which, in seal or astrakhan, is said to be particularly fetching. For dressy mourning, black watered ilk, ahirred on cord over a cone shaoed -rown and bordered with a twist cf sii: md crape, is stylish, world without end. i pound hats, with wide brims of shirred tulle, and crowns of loosely folded sash ribbons, or else velvet or surah, are among the startling noveltiej lor evening wear. A charming evening toilet was macb wholly of pink moire ribbon. The straight skirt, of lr.ee, was completely covered by loops of ribbon falling from the waist to the hem. A novel ribbon decoration for a hat was of ribbon woven in two colors, with a narrow ribbon of the same sort put on branchwise, and fastened only in tho middle to the middle of the broader ribbon foundat'on. Simple, loise fitting frocks for little girls are made entirely of red or red and white I ecomingly combined. A pretty model was of cream-colored cashmere serg, the loose jacket and skirt being alike trimmed with a triple row cf red braid. Striped fabrics seem to be gradually superseding plaids and checks, and ex cept for very tall, slender ladies they are decidedly more becoming. Stripes of every width and design are seen, some of the broad, many colored stripes having as lively an effect as the most variegated plaid. Blue and red h still a favorite combi nation in wool dresses for younjr ladic. These dresses are now made with a polo naise of blue, with double drapjry, short enough to reveal a narrow strip of the red kirt at the bottom. Broad red stripes are used as trimming upo both polonaise and bodice. Facts About the Bible. The number of letters in th? Bible is 3,oS?,4S0; words, 773,00 ; verses, 31, 173; chapters 1,189; books, sixty-six. The longest book in the Old Testament is Psalms, it having 1 j0 chapters: the shortest is Obadi.th, it having but oiu chaper of only twenty-one verses. The longest looks in the Xew Testament ar Matthew and the Acts, each of which consists of twerty-eight chapters, al though Luke contains more verses and words.

The middle verse is the eighth verse of the lieth Psalm. Tne nine teenth chapter of 2 Kings and thiity seventh chapter of Isaiah read alike. The Sth, loth, 21st and 31st verses of the 103th Psalm are alike. The book of Job is the oldest book in the Bible, and the 21st verse of the 7th chapter of Ezra contains all the letters of the al phabet with the exception of "j." The 33th verse, 11th chapter, of St. John, is the shortest in the Bible. Atlanta Con stitution. The Bengalis. The Bengalas are a fine race physic ally, being tall, powerful, and splendidly formed, with features by no means of the negro type; the women are the hand somest I have seen in Africa. Their dress is scanty, consisting for the most part only of a waist-cloth for the men and a short kilt of woven grass for the women; but men of high degree often wear mantles of dressed goat or other skins. They cicatrize their arms, shoul ders, and busts in patterns by cutting the skin and injecting some irritant. Some times the result looks very well; but in other cases the process is not successful, and raises huge unsightly lumps of flesh. The chief of Iboko, when I arrived, was an old man over 80 his ae was reported i by some to be 84, by others SO who I had lost one eye in battle and Dossessed had lost one eye in battle and possessed fifty wives. He was over six feet in height, with a line, well-developed fig ure, and but for his dirty white hairand shriveled skin, would have passed for a man of half his age. He was much at tached to Capt. Coquilhat (named "Mwafa" or the "Eagle" bv the na tives), and never umlertook anything without consulting him.

A New York State man proposes to make a railroad car entirely of wood pulp. He claims that it will be inde structible either by f re or by shock. A turtle was recently hatched out ic the parlor of a Jersey C it j womm from an egg which she brought home as 8 souvenir of a trip. It was placed on the f card receiver.

A horrible crime, and one of the most diabolical ever committed in Wyoming, says the Cheyenne Sun, occurred last week in the northwestern portion cf the Terri tory, not many miles from Fort Washakie, and on the Shoshone reservation. An Indian woman, who was probablr re garded as a burden by the balance of her band, was unfortunate enough to meet with an accident, whereby she sustained a fracture of one of her limbs. The bucks, who appear to have everything their own way, counseled together and came to the conclusion that the best thing to do with the poor old woman was to put her to death. In pursuance of this plan, and after divesting her of erery garment that could protect her from the cold, they drove stakes in the ground and tied her to 6takcs m tbe ground and tied her to thcm and Ieft her to frccze 10 death- At tnc eVlUoa two days and nights both of her arms were frozen solid, but she was not dead. Concluding that some more expeditious way must be adopted, they gathered a lot of old blanket3, p'.led them tapon and around her, and set them on fire. The result of thi3 terrible torture was that her bodv was to badly burned that j the inner organs were left exposed. They then let the fire go out and left her again to freeze. At the expiration of twenty four hours death at la.t came to her re lief. A Yoan5st2rs Comr.snt. Harold is getting old enough to as tonish his parents occasionally with an original remark.
