SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. Gov. Yates has designated Friday, April 24, as Arbor day in Illinois. The Howard county bank at Nashville, Ark., has suspended, and the appointment of a receiver was asked. Prof. Mazzoni, the pope's physician, declares the pontiff is in excellent health and gains in vigor each year. Over $1,000,000 was left to St. Paul poor by the will of Mrs. Cornelia D. W. Appleby. Trained nurses were among the provisions made for them. Premier Balfour in a speech at Liverpool said the United States should teach South American governments to observe the principles of international courtesy. H. M. Niles, manager of the United Cigar Stores company, 112 Clark street, Chicago, committed suicide after losing $75 of the company's funds in a poker "club." Regina Curry, a young Philadelphia seamstress, was beaten to death near that city. A man who was seen to follow her has disappeared. His name is known to the police. In the French chamber of deputies Maurice Binder, nationalist, called Premier Combes a "weather cock" and a riotous scene followed, resulting in the suspension of the sitting. Count Maurice de Bosdari, member of a distinguished Italian family, is sought by the London police for alleged forgery of bills in J. P. Morgan's name. It is said $150,000 was secured from business men. A package containing $50,000 in commercial paper was lost on January 31 by postal employes on a Pennsylvania train between Louisville and Indianapolis. Search of empty pouches failed to discover it. Carelessness is blamed. The California legislature's investigation of the San Quentin and Folsom state prison abuses disclosed one convict killed and many permanently crippled by straitjackets. The Spanish windlass was used to extract confessions. Illinois and Missouri legislatures are asked by St. Louis fair officials to make forging, altering or "scalping" railroad tickets a prison offense. A threat is made by the railroads to refuse reduced rates unless legislation is secured.
