We say in these modern times, “Let us make the cooks o° a na- tion, and we care not who makes its apothecaries.”’ But in order to teach the cook such ways of prepauses food as will make it palatable and wholesome, we must first furnish such improved cooking ‘pperetes as will give the advantage of economizing time and saving labor. It is of the utmost importance that the article on which our daily food is cooked should be the very best article in the house, as health depends largely upon the food we eat, and more so on how it is cooked. Years of experience and practical tests have demonstrated -the superierity of wrought-iron Kanges over all other kinds of ranges or cooking stoyes, on account of their greater durability, larger cooking capac uy, ease of management, certain- ty of operation, and solid ee in use of fuel. In all these points the **Home Comfort”? Ranges stand unrivaled, and the unprecedented demand for them from all parts of the country festifies stronger than words to their great popularity; and the universal testimony of thousands of families, hotels, restaurants, public and private institutions now using the ““Hom* Comfort’’ is, that they are not only unsurpassed, bat unequaled by any other ater apparatus upon the market. The improved malleable iron water-heaters used by as are of capacity sufficient to furnish abundance of hot water, and, with our hotel sizes, to,at the same time, operate a steam table connected with the Range, thus cooking all kinds of vege- tables, soups, paddings, etc., thoroughly and without danger of burning, by the same fire which heats the ovens, thus doubling its capacity without increasing the amount of fuel used.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wasuinetoyn, December 8.—The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds is preparing for a last struggie with the House on its public building bills. More than a hundred were presented at the last ses- sion, and of the whole number only one became & law. Of the other “‘ninety-and-nine” the committee hopes to get favorable action on a large They have had a list prepared and will distribute it to members of the committee in a few days, and to other members of the House. showing the various bills as reported, and may accompany it with some figures showing the need for them, the present sum paid for rent, etc. The amount asked for in the bills offered in the House alone amounts to some twenty-five millions of dollars. Of course, only @ small proportion of the number is likely to get through, for your average member bas not so strong an incentive now to push his médasure as he had be- fore the election. MORE ABOUT THE COST OF CONGRESS. It was remarked in this correspondence a day or two since that Congress cest $6,000,000 a year.* The detailed report of the Secretary of the Senate, just given to the public, shows some curious items of expenditures, indicating some of the reasons for so large a total. Take the cost of the Danville investi- gation of last session, for instance. The Senate Committee did not think it pelicy, for some reason, to go there to take the testimony, but instead of so doing, sent for the witnesses to come here. Their mileage must be paid, and two days witness fees each, making the amount paid for each wit- ness, On an-average, about forty dollars. Then it was found necessary to send a deputy serreant-at- arms scrambling about over the Virginia mountains with a fine-tooth comb to gather up the witnesses who didn't want to come. So the cost of the in- gestigation amounted to some six or eight thousand dollars, or double what it micht have been had the committee seen fit to take the trouble to ride over there and hold a three or four days’ session instead of bringing a hundred or two hundred witnesses at forty dollars or so apiece. There are also some instructive items in the “ex- pense account” of a committee on “protection to here fish and fisheries,’ which made A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER TOUR along the coast after the end of the session, ao companied by clerks and stenographer, and deputy sergeant-at-arms, whose duty seems to have been to disburse the money. Here are some of the items which made this delightful little trip to the watering places cost $2,500. Cab hire at starting $2 2%. ‘This is the firstitem. The second is ‘refreshments for journey $41," and this for the refreshments necessary for a trip from Washington te Cape May, about five hours’ ride, or $12 per hour for a party of a half dozen. ously encugh, the railroad fare for'trip was but $38, or @ littie more ‘than ‘half what the “refreshments” cost. The smallness of the railroad fare was made up, how- ever, by an item of $525 for transfer from one depot to another in Philadelphia and carriages and porters at Cape May. Then there was another item of $5 for servants and porters at Cape May, and another of $179 for the hotel bill. “Refreshments” in New York seem to have been quite inexpensive, as they are put down at fifteen cents, while the same item in Boston is $12. Thereis another item further on for further refreshments, amounting to ° $16. There are some curious items of expense about the Senate chamber. For instance, there are on one page of the report, the following curious items: Seventeen City (Washington) directories, $8; one Imperial Dictionary, forthe Commitee of Foreign Affairs, $2; six hundred street car tickets for use of the Senate, $25; for winding and regulating clocks during one month, as per contract, $25. OFF FOR THE EXPOSITION. Chief Clerk Coffin of the Interior Department's display at the New Orleans Ex position, leaves in a day or two for New Orlrans to supervise the work of putting the figishing touches to the display, which has gone on before. He will be followed ina few days by most of the Cabinet members, who are to spend a week ortwothere. An elegant house, the residence of a wealthy citizen of New Orleans, bas been leased for the term of the Exposition, and will be used to entertain Cabinet officers and other Government officials while there. It seems to be pretty well settled that the President will not go to the opening ceremonies, and probably will not visit the Exposition until after the expiration of his term of office, if at all. THE TAIL-TWISTER 'S LAST. “Richelieu” Robinson of the Brooklyn District, the celebrated “‘tail-twister,” who never omits an opportunity to give a shot to royalty or anything in that line, is at the front again. This time he offers a resolution to simplify the inauguration cere- monies. The resolution prohibits the erection of triumphal arches and the display of bayonets on inauguration day, and provides that the Chief Justice shat] call upon the President and accom- iev*Richelien’s” expiring effort. He steps down and out at the expiration of this term of Congress, to the gratification of all who have any particular respect for the State of New York or humanity in general. He has played the clown and made self and his country the laughing stock of world quite long enough. He is not « tioned old man, but is one who country ridiculous in the eyes world with extreme ease.

Wasuixoton, December 8.—Senator Morgan of Alabama, who is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. has been interviewed concerning the Nicaragua treaty. He does not believe that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty will be any barrier to the He to the Ciayton-Bulwer treaty, and he says the argu- amnents of the Secretary in his cor dence with Lord Granviile are unanswerable, Senator Morgan holds that.in the first place, the Clayton-Bulwer t was entered into to meet certain conditions that ee nglan away,and, in the second place, that has violated its provisions whenever she feit disposed, notably in the acquire- ment of the Mosquito coast territory. In addition to these considerations he maintaing that the resuit of self-preservation impels the United States to con- trive a » sary way by water between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As far back as 1870 Senator Morgan offered a resolution providing that no Government should construct any canal or passage for ships across the Isthmus, separating the Autantic and Pacific Oceans, without the consent of the United States Government. This was not adopted, and several years later he renewed it, but it did not then pass the Senate. He says the RATIFIOATION OF THE NICARAGUAN TP EATY and the construction of the canal contemplated by it, would give this government every advantage in position to protect itself, though the DeLesseps canal way be operated. He believes that the construction of the Nicaragua Canal may be a preventive of war in the future between this Government and European powers. He says the contemplated Nic- aragua route is possessed of certain natural ad- vantages for a canal, and that be tween New York and San Francisco it would be 1,000 miles shorter than DeLesseps’. He says an United States naval station could be main- tained in Nicaragua, from which our vesseis could romptly reach either the Atiantic or the Pacific Oceans and that this demonstration of our nation- abilit ve jon to protect our interests would have a tendency to prevent encroachments powers. He regards the inheritance to the nation of this canal as so appa- rent that he does not anticipate any opposition to the treaty. He maintains that the construction of the Panama Canal renders it doubly imperative that the United States Government shail avail itself of the Ss nity to obtain a passage way,and, jointly with Nicaragua, control canal when it shall have been buiit. St. Louisans at the Capital By Telegranh to the Post-Dispatch. Wasuineror, D. C., December 8.-—Missouri is pretty well represented at the Capttal to-day. Col. Prather, John G. Priest, Judge Lindley, Hon. Matt Reynolds, Col. Geo. Hatch of St. Louis, a brother of Congressman Hatch, and a number of others are here. Col. Hatch is urging the claims of Reynolds for Bliss" place as District Attorney. He says he is confident that Reynoids will be success- ful. There are also two or three applicants for the position mad 8 vacant by the resignation of Internal Revenue Col- lector Dan Stewart, in Hatch's district. It is sup- posed that some of these statesmen are here with the hope of es some influencein regard to the distribution of Cabinet places, to Missouri. Several representatives of companies having leases of land in the Indian Territory are reported here, trying to head off the proposed investigation of the eases, Gone to Lew Orleans. Wasuineoron, D.

WasHinerton, D. C., December 8.—Colonel Rey- nolds of St. Louisis here makinga fight for the District Attorneyship. Bliss, itis understood, will be here soon to present his own claims for reappoint- ment, It is expected that the fight over the place wili be pretty spirited, as it is one of the best Gov- ernment berths in St. Louis. The name of Hon, J. H. Thomas of Plattsburg, Mo., will be sent to the Senate to-day as Register of Land Office at Yakima, Washington Territory. Mr. Thomas gets this place through the kind offices of Congressman Dockery, who was his successful rival for the seat in the present Congress. @Bland is still detained at home by the serious ill- ness of his child. ’ F. A. McCormick of Platt County is here on a pleasure trip. ——— XLVIIITH CONGRESS. The Senate. Wasnrveror, D. C., December 8.—The chair laid before the Senate a letter from the Postmaster- General, recommending a larger clerical force at the Post Offices. When the Chair laid before the Senate the Naval Appropriation bill recently passed by the House, Senator Hale explained that it was a mere renewal for the coming half year of the lump appropriation made at the last session, based upon the appropriation of last year. He thought the Senate should take up and refer to the new conference committee the regular appropria- tion bill which was the subject of conference at the close of the last session, especially as that bill con- tained important provisions relating to new ships. Senator Mitchell read a letter from Genera! Grant relating to the bil) recently introduced to give him a pension. Gen. Grant expresses the hope that the bill will be withdrawn, as under no circumstances could he accept a pension even if the bill passed both houses and received the approval of the Presi- dent. Senator Mitchell stated that he had intro- duced the bill because he was chairman of the Committee on Pensions, and the Pres- ident had recommended a pension for Gen. Grant. He (Mitchell) had always felt that General Grant ought to be placed where he ‘was when, to accept the Presidency, he iaid down the great office he had won inthe war. In defer- ence to General Grant's wishes, Senator Mitchell withdrew the bill. the Committee on Appropriations reported the committee of the whole.

Miss Ethe! Tucker, ¢ dynamic violence. A drama in which | new star, has nengaged for the leading role. romantic love, illicit passion, supposed murder, suicide, violent death, wrongful arrest and im- prisonment, and madness play star engage ments cannot fail tobe volcanic. The Charcoal Dealer is an 40tna in ful! play. Tne shadowy side of Parisian life among the lower and middle classes is thrown into bold relief. The motive running through the play, like that in “Miss Multon,” is maternal devo tion, but with strong variations, and with this dif- ference, that as in the one we have the pathos of presence, but actual separation by reason of a wrongful suspicion of sin, the other there is the more violent situation of self-sacrifice. The argumentin a nutshellis the happy marriage of a beloved daughter, the going astray of the husband for a street waif and actress, the jealousy and conception of murder by the wife, “the self-sacrifice of the mother by assuming the guilt and punishment of the supposed crime to aid in the escape of the daughter, ending in madness and the final disc very that the crime is not murder but suicide, with a happy denouement. The lay is artificial a entirely outside f the experience of coinmon mortals, but it is full of thrilling situations and hair-raising episodes. It is just what it claims to be, and is an excellent specimen of the thrilling, emotional, biood-curdling French melodrama, withgthe com: manding excellence that it is sustained with scarcely a faiter in the highest measure and to the end. #2 Mrs. D. P. Bowers is a remarkable woman. As Catherine she has the burden of the work to sustain, and in all ofthe trying situations of the play she proves herse equal to the task an does not mit a single suug- gestion of failing or of weakness to enter tne deline- ation. She the strong-willed, determined, devoted woman and mother, running through the whole gamut of maternal love, seif-sacrifice and madness until the drop of the curtain on the last act, when dethroned reason resumes its sway. She has not the tears in ber voice that Clara Morris has, but she is the undoubted mistress in emotional roles, strong, sustained and forceful. Her mad scene has the advantage of being shorter and much less trying than that in “L’ Article 47,” but it is sus- tained strikingly and commands admiration, *** The mechanical effects and stage setting and scenery were fine, and taken altogether, “La Cha-- attract attention. se ous a ee sane for pp open- night, and was not what the play, and especial- ly Mrs. Bowers’ strong part deserved. ses ‘Michael Strogofft” started in at the People's last night with a boom.

The Application to Foreclose the Vulcan 4 Iron Work's Mortgage. Judge Treat heard arguments to-day on the de- murer to the application made by General Noble last week on behalf of certain mortgages of the Vulcan Iron Works in the matter of the receivership of the St. Louis Ore and Steel Compan Gen, Noble represents Messrs. Lackland and r, who hold a $1,000,000 mort on the Vulcan Works, and —_— application r the foreclosure of th ni rtgage on the ground that a default had been ™ n yment of interest. He contends that Mr. Olyp t's claim, under whose bill the present re ver, Mr. E. A. Hitchcock, was any does not extend to this Vp ene Soy the St. Louis Ore and Steel Com and that mortgages under this latter should not be compelled to come into court as parties to these proceedings and be subjected to the interminable delays necessarily incident to the receivership. A demurrer was flied to his application on the ground that he was nota proper or necessary partyto the suit, and hence had no standing in the case. After General Noble had argued this point and showed that, although his clients were not necessary _— yet they were proper parties to the suit. Judge Treat said he did not want to hear any arguments on the other side, as he was convinced § they were proper parties. Gen. Noble then presented again his application asking for a foreclosure of the m Mr. é T.

MONDAY, DECEMBER §8, 1884. — ” Tae present session bids fair to be the most profitable on record. We always consider that session the most profitable in which there is least legislation. Tue recent tram robbery near Little Rock calls for the appointment of Governor CRITTEN- DEN to a judicial position. He has had expe- rience with train robbers. Tue arrival of Minister Foster with his treaty was celebrated by the simultaneous closing of many cigar factories and the dis- charge of thousands of workmen. MR. CLEVELAND'S preferences for a simple inauguration ate not meeting with proper respect. The indications are that his inaugura- tion will be the most magnificent public demon- stration ever seen in this count-y. One of the interesting features of the New Orleans Exposition will be a competitive art display, entered into by the artists of the Sun- day morning papers of this city and the artist of “little Freddy's” slate cartoonsin Puck. THERE is a bill on the House calendar to remove the duty on works of foreign art. It will be a great service to art when this bill is passed, but it will be a greater service if any one can induce the Sunday morning papers to desist from illustrations. en Oe ee ee eee eee WE publish the full text of the celebrated Foster treaty with Spain. It is a long docu- ment, but it is worth reading as an illustra- - tion of the recklessness with which American interests are sacrificed by those who claima divine right to take charge of our interests, WHEN asked to state the cause of BLAINE’s defeat, Bop INGERSOLL made this comprehen- sive reply: ‘‘Personal hatreds in the party, cold water, the Delmonico dinner, BURCHARD’S remark and BLAINg#’s reply, too wuch church, and last, but, not least, not quite enough votes.” cone Tue reciprocity idea between the United States, with no exports, and our small bob-tail néighbors, with no imports, was probably sug- gested by the matrimonial experience of the young man who said that, as he had nothing and the girl had nothing, they thought it would be a good plan to unite their fortunes, —_————— THE New York Tribune's latest corrected table of the popular vote gives CLEVELAND a plurality of 70,945. Yet the Chicago Zribune and Cincinnati Commercial Gazette are still _ Claiming a plurality for BLatng. The editors of those papers seem to have been made as crazy as GUITEAU was by disappointed expecta- tions. , , ——___ OvR portraits of the principal characters in the Loewenstein divorce case in our issue of Saturday were taken from sketches made after the opening of court Saturday morning. The drawings were made after ten o’clock and the plates were in the form before noon. There is no connection between the art department of the Post-Dispatcu and that of any other paper. SENATOR MILLER, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, indulges in sonie remarkable statements about the Nicara- gua treaty and the way it will uphold our leadership on this continent. Without know- ing anything about the Nicaragua treaty we hazard two assertions regarding it, based on general principles: First, that there isa job in it; second, that it dodges all reassertion of the Monroe doctrine. en Tae Government officials who flourished as Deputy Marshals at Cincinnati have gotten themselves into a bad box. If Buarne had been elected they would have nothing more to fear than an investigation, an adverse report from a majority of the committee and a de- tH from the minority, to be followed by re- in office and further rewards for their géal. Now they will take their chances between dismissal or the penitentiary. It is simply the difference between Republican rule and Demo- cratic rule. \ —_—_—eeeeeee- In sacrificing Lieutenant Durry of the East Bt. Louis police to the vengeance of the law, the authorities have ruined one of the most promising of our future public men. There ts a brilliancy, an originality, a genius in the idea of combining the two functions of policeman and safe-blower which mark Mr. DUFFY as one the century. To an in- tellect.so acute, so piercing, so enterprising, no : : ‘ambition was impossible, no destiny too lofty. Had the stern severity of the law not inter- -» fered to blight the brightness of his promise, it ‘would be easy to think of Mr, Durry as a Ss A magnetic statesman, as a campaign manager, as the idol of a party of great moral ideas He | such as until quite recently prevailed in Wash- -| eandidate, of whose election he has no official evi- times and under more favoring auspices, ay | ington he would undoubtedly have risen. Our only consolation is that his loss is the public gain. nr rns ma ore ee | : THE SPANISH TREATY. The text of the new Spanish treaty will be found among our special telegrams to-day, and our readers can judge for themselves how much there is in the objections that were urged against it from the outline of its provisions re- cently published. One of the objections was that the provisions favoring cargoes under the Spanish and Amer- ican flags would not secure us any larger share of the carrying trade between our own and Cu- ban ports, as the liberal navigation laws of England and Spain would enable British ship owners to transform their vessels into Spanish ships by metely employing’ Spanish flag cap- tains. Another objection was that no stipulation in the treaty itself could secure us any favor which other nations could not claim and share equally under the “‘most favored nation” clauses of their treaties with Spain. So it was said that the advantages apparently offered to us by the treaty were more imaginary than real. On the other hand, it was urged asa fatal objection that the treaty leaves Spain free to impose ex- port taxes to the full amount of the import duties taken off by us from the products of Cuba and Porto Rico. If open to these objections the treaty would simply transfer a revenue of more than thirty millions perannum from our National Treas- ury to the Treasury of Spain, without materially extending our trade or benefiting our shipping interests, and without benefiting either Cuban producers or the American con- sumers of Cuban products. The Hawaiian treaty simply took three mil- lions of revenue from the public treasury and gave it annually to the Claus Spreckels monop- oly, and at the same time increased the cost of sugar to the Pacific coast consumers without benefiting the Sandwich Islanders, as ths monopoly imported coolie labor to pro- duce the sugar. Itis said that a rich syndi- cate has been purchasing Mexican sugar lands with a view of establishing another Claus Spreckels monopoly under the proposed Mexi- can reciprocity treaty, and that this Spanish reciprocity treaty is only part of a scheme promising free trade in spots, but really de signed to promote monopolies, which, after they have broken down our own sugar pro- ducers, will have consumers at their mercy. By studying the instrument itself with refer- ence to these objections, business men can form their own opinions and intelligently follow the ensuing discussion of this important subject. Any citizen who wishes to post himself on the merits of the controversy over street pav- ing material in St. Louis would do well to be- gin by inspecting the alleged Nicholson pave- ment on Fourth street, between Locust and Washington avenue; a cross section of its ridges and terraces recalls the pictures of the cliff dwellings of the Moqui Indians in Arizona. Then it would be well to study the granite question on South Seventh street. Here the workmen are engaged in digging up the granite which ‘was planted last spring, presumably to see if it has grown any since then. Chouteau avenue affords a fine study of macadam effects. By diligent boring traces of last year’s macad- am can be found at varying depths nearly all along the avenue. The assortment of our pave- ments closes with the Pine street asphalt race track, where chariot races of the coal haulers and lumber dealers attest the care with which our street interests are guarded. It is believed that the assortment of street pavements in St. Louis is unique. THERE isa tinge of irony in the statement that the recent investigations into the accounts in the Department of Justice will probably re- sult in a substitution of salaries for fees. For sixteen years the machinery: of the Department has been abused to do party service; the abuses have been open and notorious; complaint has been made again and again; proof has been offered, reform demanded; but nothing has been done. Any Republican who would admit that there were any abuses was called a “traitor.” It was almost a test of patriotism to believe in the honesty and accuracy of the accounts in the Department of Justice. What does the change nean? It means simply that the defenders of old abuses are becoming alarmed. They have good reason to be. Their time is coming. But théir sudden access of virtue deceives no one. eee THE Globe-Democrat of yesterday makes the following serious charge against the rail- roads of Missouri: The railroads of Missouri are used to promote competition against St. Louis, and are parties to a strife which the merchants and business men of Bt. Louis are not akowed to enter into on terms of equal- ity with other cities. Railroads which were originally bullt by the money of the people of Missouri, and of St. Louis especially, are being conducted so as to take as inuch trade as possible away from St. Louis and carry it elsewhere, This is a case in which an ounce of proof is worth many pounds of assertion, 8 re | Tilinois Lawlessness. From the Philadelphia Times. — How lawlessness begets lawlessness is forcibly {l- lustrated in the Sixth Senatorial District of Iilinois. The lawless alteration of the ballots, whereby a ' Democratic Senator was given a majority instead of the Republican who was rightly chosen, was the original crime which has given rise to a series of lawless acts mistakenly designed for its correction. First, the Grand Jury of the United States Court, which has as much lawful concern with the election ofa State Senator as the Parliament of Great Britain, undertook, without regard to law, to inves- tigate the election, not with any idea of lawful ao- tion, but to make a party pointin advance of the Upon the strength of the testimony thus said to have been obtained, though not a word of it has been imany formal way established, the Governor not only witbholds the certificate of election fromm the candidate returned as elected—who had, indeed, declined to receive it~but has given it to the other dence whatever, This is as lawless as the original action of the lega! authorities, enidibun, "would have been a tie and the Republican, if he had the case that is claimed, must have been seated. That wolld have been the lawful course. But the Governor takes snap judgment and secures the seat for his party candidate in advance—notupon the returns, nor even upon Jegal evidence of fraud, but only upon an extra legal allegation. Very likely the end attained is equitable, but it is attained in a lawless way that’ will give excuse for worse lawless- ness hereafter. WS The German Mission. From the New York World. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat makes the follow- ing reference to a prominent St. Louisan: It looks very much as if Mr. Charles Gibson, of this city, would be a candidate for the Bertin Mis- sion, and that he would have the strong backing of the Post-Dispatou and the New York WorLp. And Mr. Gibson would fill the bill about as well as any- body who is likely to desire or to accept the office. This compliment from a Republican journal is certainly deserved. Mr. Gibson stands at the head of the St. Louis bar. His character is pure and un- impeachable. He isa Virginian by birth and the only American citizen, perhaps, who is the friend of two Emperors He has been honored, with decora- tions by both Emperor William and Franz Josef in the way of recognition of eminent legal services performed. Despite al) this Sir Charles Gibson is thoroughly Democratic and all his inspirations are patriotic. He would undoubtedly be acceptable to the German Court if accredited as our Minister, and he would certainly confer credit upon our Republic in that capacity. Cleveland’s Cabinet. From the New York World. Money is becoming the autocrat in political as in social life. It no longer contents itself with the glitter and tinsel of society, with fat poodles, liv- eried servants and gaudy coats-of-arms. It stretches into politics and seeks to corrupt the popular vote and subvert the popular will at the ballot-box. The false report that Gov. Cleveland is in sympa- thy with the monopolies has been believed, and non- estly believed, by many Democrats. In constructing the frame work of his adminis- tration President Cleveland must show that these suppositions are erroneous. His Cabinet must be a practical proof of his entire and fearless indepen- dence of all these corrupting interests. it must win back good Democrats who have strayed from the fold, by showing them from the commencement that the Democratic President is the friend of hon- est labor and the enemy of all enemies of the peo- e. President Cleveland's policy is to shape his views on these and other subjects in his mind and to fit to them the advisers he calls around him. New Style at the Opera House. From the Chicago Herald. There is something new to grand opera here, and one of the results is comical. A box already filled with belles is entered by several beaux. Thereis a huddling and rustling in the formation of a tableau, for they are aware that they are on view to nearly the whole house, and they enter into animated con- versation, entirely confident that they are more in- teresting than the proceedings on the stage, where a lank Tannhaueser is being tempted,by a fat Venus. At this juncture the stalwart German father of a present family stands up in the midst of his an- noyed following, faces the box squarley, and says: “Sdop—sdop—hoo-o-sh!"” The fashionables are as completely extinguished as though a bomb of car- bonic acid had been smashed among them. These episodes, varying from the spoken reproof of an individual to the hisses of a hundred, are of almost nightly occurrence. O Geminil From the New York World. And now conservative Connecficut, having giving its vete for Cleveland, is coming tothe front con- spicuously asa producer of popuiation. Not con- tent with the ordinary issue of what may be called second-class mail matter, the physicians throughout that State are proudly publishing that there never has been known a period since the establishment of the original volony when so many twins were born as this season, and it is even proposed to mark the era in the State annais as the “Twin Year.” A sin- gle physician, who does not propose to remain sin- gle long, reports twelve cases in his small town within a month, and doctors ali over the State are sending in similar returns. Desdemona hesitated before her “divided duty;” the daughters of Con- necticut are impulsively doing double duty. Bismarck and Kailway Passes. From the Pali Mall Budget. There will be much gnashing of teeth in German Parliamentary circles when the usual railway passes to which every M. P. of the Empire is enti- tled come to be distributed at the beginning of next session. Ever since 1873 these passes have enabled Deputies to travei free of charge by every Govern- ment and private railway in the Empire during the session, and a weeks before and after, due compen sation being paid tothe railways by the Govern- ment. Prince Bismarck, however, finding that these passes were largely used for private and busi- ness purposes by some of the members, has issued an order restricting the use of the new railway passes to the journeys between Berlin and each Deputy’s place of résidence. A Sure Way to Get Rich. From the Wall Street Daily News. The owner of a chair shop in a town in Wisconsin figured away fora week before hesaw his way clear. It was evident that he must either reduce wages or discharge some of the men, and he was working to get around it. He finally called them to- gether and ssid: “Ghentlemens, it vhas hardt times; I haf blenty shairs, but no orders. I vas oaferpro- ductioned for der market. I don't like to shut up shop, und I doan’ like to cut down vages, sol fix it some odder vay. My capital vhas $12,000 und my stock on hand vhas $7,000. I water my capita! $3,000, und I put upder brices on my furniture $2,000, und so you all haf work all winter at the same old vages, und like enough I make one tousand dollar to boot.” . Mrs. Alex Mitchell's Little Darkey. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. Two or three years ago Mrs. Alexander Mitchell of this city brought from Florida a young negro named Jesse Griffinas a house servant. At the time he could neither read nor write. He remainea here about a year, and during that time succeeded in learning to write his name so that it could be de- ciphered. Not liking the climate he returned to the land of alligators and flowers about eighteen months ago. Now his friends have received word from him that he has just been elected Sheriff of his county on the Democratic ticket. —— MEN OF MARK, Mr. GLADstong's salary as Premier is $25,000. and as Chancellor of the Exchequer $12,500 per an- num. Mn. Buatwe is now asked by the San Francisco Argonaut to accept the California Senatorship. Lavi P.

Governor Cleveland detests apple jelly, but bas a deep and unconquerable affection for pumpkin pie, and Governor Hendricks just loves chicken pot-pie. Firtp Manswat Hargreap, who ran & $20,000 sub- sidy Blaine organ in New York, and Charles Emory Smith, who ran a $20,000 subsidy Blaine organ in Pennsylvania, are just wild for Blaine's renom ina- tion in 1888, WHEN some celebrated pictures of Adam and Eve were seen on exhibision Mr. McNab was taken to see them. “I think no great things of the painter,” said the gardener; “why, man, tempting Adam wi’ @ pippin of a variety that wasna known until about twenty years ago.” Jutics Rassix, a farmer near Somerset, in the State of Kentucky, met death the other day in a form in which it has come to very few persons in the history of the world. A meteoric stone, fall- ing from the sky, is said to have passed through his body likea cannon shot, WiTH a view of depreciating the value of the com- ing visit of Wales’ boy, Albert Victor, a London correspondent writes that be is hopelessly under- witted and the dullest of all the Queen’s descend- ants, but this only makes him all the nearer, if not dearer, to our Anglomianiac dudes. Sarpdov hired a house in the country to pass the last summer, and went in search of a farmer who had a milch cow. Having found one, he said: “My good man, my servant will come every morning to buy a pint of milk.” “Allright; it is eight sous.” “But I want pure milk—very pure.” “In that case it is ten sous.” “You will milk in the presence of my servant.” “Then it is fifteen sous.” Governor Henpaicks has been for years a war- den in St. Paul's Cathedral, Indianapolis; heis now its senior warden. He was, it will be remembered, one of the distinguished laymen in the General Convocation of the Episcopal Church at Philadel- phia in 18838, when Senator Edmunds remarked, upon being asked to preside, that he was “a candi- date for no Presidency.” Or the two Alexandre Dumases, pere et fils, Ed- mupd Yates tells the story that when the first suc- cessful novel of the son appeared the elder wrote to his son, as though to a stranger, congratulating him on his book, and adding that he ought to know something about the difficulties of novel-writing, as he had himself been guilty of several. Alexandre fils replied in the same spirit, thanking his corre- spondent for his congratulations, of which he felt specially proud, as coming from one of whom he had often heard his father speak in the highest terms. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. Pavuine Lucca is singing in concerts exclusively during her present visit to Russia. Mrs. Parnewu intends to write an Irish opera. This seems to be an unusually bad year for the Irish. Tue wife of Gen, Oyama, the Japanese Minister of War now visiting this country, was educated at Vassar College. Tue people of Minneapolis who gave the grand banquet to Christine Nilsson last summer have been sued for the cost of that affair. Tue arms manufacturers of the United States, in the absence of war, will doubtless fall back on the ladies of Paris and New Orleans. THere are afew mothers who have no heart. One in New York, the other day, refused to pay the fine of her son, who is frequently and punctually drunk. Miss Mary Hewten Ferroevson of the American Queen has just returned from a visit to Strasburg, Va.,and is now said to be preparing a series of sketches of Old Dominion life. Kate Fretp now laments that she invested full $5,000 in studying the Mormon problem, and re- grets that there should be so little interest in the in- vestment and less interest in her iectures. Miss Fortescue has obtained a verdict of £10,000 damages against Lord Garmoyle. and has tempora- rily retired from the stage. For a bruised heart Garmoyle is better than St. Jacobs Oil. A New York dealer in hosiery says that no true lady will wear a pair of stockings costing less than $150. Yet people wonder why marriageable young men are so backward about coming forward. Mme. Nrisson finished her engagements in En- gland yesterday, and will presently go to Riviera for the winter. She will return to England in the spring for a season of Italian opera.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, December 8.—The Wort gays: “Whatever may be the cause of the difficulties leading to and growing out of the strike of the hatters at South Norwalk, Conn., it is certain that there have been no unseemly disturb- ances, and the strikers themselves are the declared eonservators of the public peace. The dispatches sent by the Associated Press representing that vio- lence and bloodshed were imminent were wholly untrue, and the cal! on Governor Waller for troops to suppress & supposed riot appears to have been un warranted,” THE SUN. The Sun says: “It is expected that the draft of the proposed canal treaty with Nicaragua announced by President Arthur in his message a week ago will be sent to the Senate to-day. The discussion of this important measure, involving, as it probably. does, an entirely new line of — policy, and a government undertaking of start- ling magnitude and sensational interest, will not be confined to the Senate chamber. Whether that body examines the provisions of the treaty in secret session or with open doors, and whether it finally rejects or ratifies the action of the state de. partment, the whole subject must be revived in the house before there can be any @ riation of money for the pu contemplated. will also be thoroughly understood by the country.” THE TIMES. Tre Times says: “The full text of the Spanish. American treaty relating to trade between the United States and the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico is published on the first page of the Times this morning. Asit was not practicable to secure a copy of the treaty in this country in advance of its submission to the Senate, the Times bas had the en- tire doeument cabled to it from Madrid, It was transmitted over the Atlantic cable y ay afternoon and evening in the Spanish language, and was caref translated by the Times. The question of its ratification or rejection all odds the most important one now r on in wens y mete nage readers, = Ty grateful for an early opportunity y the provisions of the treaty.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “The labor troubles in South Norwalk, Connecticut, are due to the tyranny of the Hatters’ Trade Union. The factory owners have heen forced by competition with rivals employing non-union labor to make a reduction of wages.

John Kelly, a hardened criminal, who is now serving his second term for burglary,butchered his cell-mate, Wm. Gaines, who was but a boy of 17 years. Kelly was leader of the shoeshop gang, and Gaines was a water carrier, For some weeks there had been bad feeling between the two, which seemed to have no more definite cause than lack of congeniality, and Kelly threatened to kill the boy. The latter made no complaint for fear that he might not be given a change of cell, and in that event Kelly would be more evil-dis ithan ever. Last night, in ing to bis cel!, Kelly carried with bim a shoe-knife and shoe hammer. He made no demonstration till after the 9 o'clock si for the putting out of lights and going to bed. hen all was quiet Kelly stood near the door as ——— listening for the night guard. He claimed co have heard some man in an adjoining cell call him an ugty name, and the boy, not sus ing his state of mind,told him to come to bed and not make a fool of himself. At this Ke'ly turned upon the lad, who was already in bed, and assaulted him with thehammer. There was a brief struggle. and the hammer was dropped.

New York, December 8.—Under the lead of the New York Central Railroad Company, the railroads began‘the issue of continuous trip tickets, only to the West. This is, in one sense,a blow aimed at the ticket brokers, as it prevents the “scalping” process by not allow ing passengers to stop over and obtain a rebate.

City Officials Who Make a Serious Charge Against Ex-Mayor Bowman —Five Hundred Dollars Said to Have Been Offered for the Implica- tion of City Clerk Canty in the Thett —A Criminal Romance, The Clark case up to date makes one of the most complete criminal romances yet spread upon the records of St. Louis justice. It has elements of humor as wellas crime, and, taken all! in all, it makes a story which might well furnisha theme for a novelist or a plot for a playwright. Charles Coleman, alias Clark, isa good-looking, bright young man, with what is described in the police reports as a pleasing ad- dresa, He talks well, looks straight into the eyes of his interlocutor and deports himself asa@good man struggling with adversity. He had trouble in Illinois and served a term in the Peniten- tiary, after which he came to Missouri, making his headquarters at Hannibal, where he won the affec- tions of Miss Goslin, the lady he married. He was an enterprising burglar and burgled nearly all the time. The safes of Hannibal were so much egg- shell work to him; he opened them as with a can- opener and lived on the fat of the land. Out of sheer malice he broke into a freight car at Hannibal and took out two hundred bats. Not being able to wear them, he sold some of them, and from the clew thus afforded. Detective Furlong soon had him learning the shoemaker’s trade within the Jefferson City Penitentiary. He was a mode! prisoner, and soon earned his liberty. His first care on getting out was to seek out Detec- tive Furlong and assure him that he had made up his mind to “square it,” and that he was now work- ing at his trade, shoemaking, on Eighth and Wash- ington avenue, with J. R. Craob & Co. Shortly after Coleman, alias Clark, began to square it. The safe of the City Clerk of East St. Louis was blown open on the 22d of May last, and some $3.000 taken. The robbery was so bold and so successful that it created adealof talk, and, owing toa number of suspicious circumstances, Lieutenant Duffy was per- mitted to resign from the police force shortly after the robbery. A reward of $1,500 was hung out for the detection of the thieves, but resultlessly. A number of pointers coming together made Detective Furlong believe that Clark, was concerned in the robbery, and about ten days since he gave a friendly tip to the St. Louis officers, The story of the manner in which Clark's house was garrisoned, and his wife prevented from giv- ing the alarm, has been already detailed at length in these columns. Letters from Clark to his wife were intercepted, by which the missing man was located at Springfield, in custody for a petty misde- meanor there. Chief of Detectives Burke at once started for = vty and mornin g returned with Mr. Clark, ag there was upto this time nothing but suspicion. Clark in the meantime bad very nearly effected his escape. He was brought back to St. Louis. how- —- where he made the following startling con- THE CONFESSION, The following was sworn to early yesterday morning: Sr. Louis, December 7. 1884.—I, Charles Clark, do hereby make this my voluntary confession to L. Harrigan. Chief of Police of St. Louis, Mo., relative to the robbery of the vault.in the City Clerk's office in East St. Louis, Ill.,on the night of the 2ist or morning of the 22d of May, 1884. Made by me this 7th day of December, 1884. On the night of the robbery I was sitting on a barrel half a block from Shea's saloon, when Police Officer Jerry Halloran of the East St. Louis force came up and stood on the corner, when I said: “It looks as though it was going to rain.’ I do not remember what wassaid, but we were there about five minutes when Lieut. Duffy camealong. He addressed him- self to Halloran, and said: “Why don’t you go down where I told you? What in —— is the mat- ter?’ Halloran said nothing, but walked down the street. He (Halloran) looked as though he sus- pected some was wrong. There were one or two other officers Duffy told that he did not need that night. That was for the pu of keeping the officers out of the way, as they would be in that neighbor- hood if they were on duty that night. Ihad the tools there and ready to do the work. Duffy was with me all night and showed me how to get into the vault or room where the vault was. ée first tried the door and could not open it. We then went to the window on the outside and went in through it. Duffy sat outside on the steps until after I the money. We then went toa back room in Duffy's house and divided the money. We had about $1,500 each, and I said, ‘I have seen a good many pulice- men in my life, but you area .” Ithen said to him, *“‘Now that we have divided the money you keep your part and I will keep mine. If you get caught it will be your fault, and if { get caught it will be mine.” Ileft himin his house about 3:30 o'clock a. m., and I came across the river. There were no city warrants taken. It was all gold, silver and greenbacks. lthink it was the second day afterward that I went over the river, where I met Duffy in Shea's saioon. We walked from there down to the Relay Retreat. We had a couple of drinks. He was verv nervous andappeered to be badly frightened, and be advised me to leave the country, the tewn was flooded with detectives. Isaid there was no evi- dence against us, it could not be found out un- less one of us gave it away. I was introduced to Duffy by Pat azan, who keeps a saloon over there Louis, about two weeks before the rob- bery (on the sidewalk in front of Shea’s saloon). : was attending bar for Shea at that time. D did not say anything to me that time about it, but 1 met him three or four days afterward down by his own house. It wasin the evening, and he was “a big thing bere if you have a mind to takea hand init.” 1 asked him what it was. He said there was about $40,000 in the City Clerk's safe, and it could be got provided I could open the safe. I then told him to find out how long the vault see who was the maker of lay ools made. I was working for J. Crabb, Eighth and W I boughtall the rankiim avenue. I got two of sp nue near Sixteenth street, at a J Hallor.nand when Lieu up. The robbery took place that night.

This aroused him and, supposing Duffy bad given him away. he opened out and gave me the whole history of the business, which I took down right here.” ~ “Are any other persons implicated in the East St. Louis work?” “No, no one but Duffy and Clark. I have told you what connection this man Eagan had with the introduction of the men.” Chief Harrigan was asked his opinion of (Clarke and said: ‘He is 29 years old, pretty sharp, and a good safe blower. I don’t count hii first-class by any means, but stil! he might be very troublesome. He talked of Red Leary while he was in my office, but that’s ali nonsemse. Red Leary wouldnt touch him with a pole. Clark, alias Mike Coleman was first convicted in Chicago by Capt. O'Donnell and sent to Joliet for stealing a watch chain from a woman. Detective Furlong sent him to Jefferson City afterwards from Hanni- bal, Mo. Altogether he has been on the turf about ten or twelve years.” 2 WHAT THE PRISONERS SAY. A visit was made to Fast St. Louis this morning, and, through the kindness of Chief Hailoran, access was permitted to the prisoners. Since their incar- ation Duffy and Clark have not been allowed to communicate at all. Their cells are at different the prison, and a patrol constantly guards the middle Ciark as stated above, I is a Ss fellow hardly thirty, perfectly willing to talk. He v3 that be meansto stay by the confession printed above, and admits that he could not go back on it :{ he wished to. As tothe story that he was hired by Detective Furipng to go over to East St. Louis and help run down the safe blowers there, Clark laughingly said it was a true bill. “You see, | came over here as a sort of deputy fiy- cop, and pretty soon I ran into Duffy. ‘My God, man,’ he said to me, ‘what are you doing here? Don't you know that the town is fuilof detectives* “Yes, said, 1 ‘of course I know it. Ain't I one of them? You better be careful what you're up to orl li run youin.’ Lieft thetown a little after that.” Clark repeats the main versation and seems ready to question that comes up. MR. THOMAS FURLONG. who first directed attention to Clark, said this morning: “Clark. or, rather, Mike Coleman, lies ints of his con- freely on every about my hiring him to bunt up the safe-bicwers in East St. He knew a lot of hog thieves who were doi us up at the stock yaris, I him to locate them for me. This he faithfully. Hetold me that the man who was doing the work was sick near the Stock Yards, which I found to be true. as the fellow was afterwards taken to Chicago, where be died. The hog stealing ended at this time too. Clark professed the greatest willingness to serve me or give me atip on anything coming his way, but the fact that he didn’t whenl spoke to him about this and other — ee me that there was nothing in his ions. When 1 ques- tioned Clark about the East St. Louis job I wasn't far off and I suggested Clark to the city officers." THOMAS DUFFY is a scorbutic-faced man with shifting, unsteady eyes, very nervous and very anxious. He is smart enough, however, to keep entirely silent. “If | knew what I was charged with,” said he toa Post-Dispatcu reporter, “J could make a state- ment, but I have no idea at all about it.” “Clark has given you dead away,’ saidthe re “Seeing that I have done nothing to be given away for, that doesn't affect me.” “Tt is said that you got half of the money stolen from the city treasury safe when it was blown , that's you know see I don't laid for nonsense, Aa lawyer. fore me I would talk willingly, ail I can say now is that any man who charges me with anything wrong That is the word that covers the whole case. It’s a lie.” A great deal of excitement was caused in Fast St. Louis by the statement that other city officia's were concerned in the‘robbery which in a vague and uncertain way was made in the morning papers. Mr. T. Canty, the City Clerk, Chief of Police O'Halloran and erman Shea join in one statement, however, which is of a very substantial character. Mr. Canty acted as spokesman for the rty, and in that capacity made _ the pete ailegation. “Both Duffy and his wife at the time of the arrest stated to the Chief here and myself that this arrest was a plant of Bowman's; that MR. JOHN BOWMAN HAD OFFERED Durry $500 to implicate me in the robbery.

Maprip, December 8.—The text of the new com- mercial treaty betweeh the United States and Spain is made public here. It was signed on November 18, last, by Mr. John R. Foster, the American Minister, and Senor Don Salv dor De Albacete Y Albert, formerly the foreign Minister of Spain. By means of it, Spain will admit to Cuba and Porto Rico American goods, and the United States will admit goods from Cuba and Port Rico at rates spec- ified in the subjoined treaty-and the annexed tariff schedules. It has long been the policy of Spain to maintain a system of discriminating duties on im- ports to the colonies, and to extend great favors to trade with the mother country in Spanish bottoms. On goods brought from any foreign country under the Spanish flag duties three times as large as those included in what is known as the first-class of Spanish duties were levied, while on ~ foreign goods brought in foreign vessels the highest duties of all were imposed under thissystem. Of course, anything sent under the American flag from the United States to Cuba or Porto Rico paid : A CRUSHING DUTY.

The text of this important treaty is as follows: Treaty of commerce between Spain and the the United States. His Majesty the King of Spain, and the United States of America, animated by a common desire to strengthen and perpetuate the frendly relations which happily exist between the Spanish Nation and the United States, and recog- gizing particularly that the Spanish Isles and Prov- inces of Cuba and Porto Rico being in close proxim- ity to the coasts of the said United States, frequent and constant commercial relations exist between the two Territories to the advantage of their inhabi- tants, and both Powers considering, also, that the community and harmony of their interests demand that these same relations be encouraged and favored to THE GREATER EXTENSION AND PROTECTION OF COM- MFRCE and its prosperity, both in the provinces and islands abeve mentioned and in the United States of America, have decided to adopt atreaty of com- merce that shall attain this special object. With this intention His Majesty, the King of Spain, has conferred full powers upon his excellency Sen-r Don Salvador De Albacete Y Albert, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs and Senator of the Kingdom. and the United States of America have conferred fuil powers upon Mr. John W. Foster, Envoy Extraor- dnary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the said United States at the court of his Catholic Majesty, and the said plenipotentiaries having exchanged their respective powers, executed in due form, have upon the foliowing articles: Article First—The United States of America, in te tan | for the concessions and privileges stipu- lated by Spain in the sent treaty, and as an equivalent of the same, to admit into all the ports of entay of the said Stat free of import duties or with the duties to which they are sup- jected ih the accompanying tariff marked “A,” all the articles or merchandise enumerated in the same; provided always that said articles or merchandise enumerated in said tariff “A’’ shall be NATURAL PRODUCTS, or products of the industries and manufactures of the Spanish Isles and provinces of Cuba and Porto Rico, and moreover, provided always, that the said articles or merchandise be transported directly from the said Isles to the United States in bottoms which shal! be the exclusive property of citizens of the United States or of Spanish ciuzens, and whose of- ficers shall be res vely citizens of said United and with similar cargoes. entering ports of the Islands of Cuba and Porto cargo,and leaving said ports without having carried on any commercial operation, shall be exempt ployed in trade between said islands. « ARTICLE ELEVENTH. Reciprocally, Spanish vessels proceeding directly from any port or ports in the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, with a cargo entirely of articles or merchandise, natural or industrial products or products of the manufactures of the said islands, or partiy of foreign origin, shipped or transhipped in said port or ports of the islands of Cuoa or Porto Rico, or in ballast, shall be exempt in any port in the United States from all tonnage dues of what- ever nature, and in r t of harbor port dues, pratique charges, pilotage, hospital taxes and other usual local taxes; they shall pay no other nor larger fees than are exacted of American vessels employed in trade between said islands and said United States. Article Twelfth—Vessels which, as to cargo and the port from which they come, are within the con- ditions of the two preceding articles shall have ‘reedom to go from one port to another in the _ territo or islands of their destination, unloading or discharging what they bear to said different ports, consigning in due form and in proper terins,as vessels employed in the coasting trade of the nation to which the ports be- long; always provided that the duties or tariff charges im upon the cargo in acco ce with the provisions of this treaty are paid. ARTICLE THIRTEENTH. Ships coming within the conditions stated in ar- ticles Eleventh and Tweifth shall have no right, whether American or Spanish vessels, to receive on board or ship in any port of the country of their destination, any kind of cargo to be carried to any other port of the same nation in the States and islands already mentioned, the local coasting trade being reserved exctusively to the flag of each of the high contrasting powers in their respective terri- tori eB. Article Fourteenth—Ships of the United States, with or without cargo, sailing from a ports, and proceeding to ports in the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, and Spanish ships, with or without cargo, proceeding from foreign ports and entering ports in the United States, whatever the source or destination of their cargo, shall be subject in all respects on their arrival during their stay and on their departure to the same regulations governing national ships proceeding from the same countries ARTICLE FIFTEENTH.

This treaty shali be ratified by the President of the United States in accord with the opinion and approval of the Senate of the United States and by Spain. in accordance with the law which author- izes its Government to makea ey and put it in force thirty days after its official publication by the two governments in accord. To effect publication onthe same day this shall not take place until the Congress of the United States shall approve the necessary laws to put the treaty in force and until both governments have adopted co nding reg- ulations, which shall be done within six months, eomputed from the date on which the treaty is signed. ARTICLE TWENTY-SEVEN. The present treaty shall endure seven years from the date on which it is put in force by both contract- ing parties, in accordance with the foregoing article, and continue effective until one of the same con- tracting makes known, one year in advancc to the other, its intention and decision to hold it as ended at the expiration of twelve months, computed from the promulgation of this resolution. Each of the contracting parties shall have the t, when the term of seven years s have expired, or sub- sequently to that period and at any time thereafter, to declare the treaty ended. Article Twenty-eight—The ratification on the the present treaty shall be exchanged at Madrid, as speedily as possible, after the approval refe to in a previous ciause.

Iam afraid 1 can pot take up any pardon cases to-day. What is your case?” to a conspicu- ous man; “a pardon case? Weil, you may come again at 11 o'clock, and i will try and see you then. No inore paraon cases now.” Then, while some are waiting and some are going off, he sits down at a table an begins to write,com- posing amidst the crowd as if he were accustomed to it. Introduced to any stranger, he seldom has anything to gay. unless that stranger be some equa! or party friend; when he may make a litile phrase almost in monospilabies, intimating that he knows who he is, then there is a little smile, a jerk or two of the head, and heis down at the tabie again — something with his hand. I foresee that the question will be asked whether Cleveland impressed meas a gentleman? He impressed me as a New York State gentleman. That is to say, a successful business man in mer- chandise or finance. His manuers were those you generally find inthe head of some iarge business establishment; not a man who wants to sell you a bill, but who represents the house, knows its strength, and isin his business hours while you are looking at him. I can not get a nearer description of Cleveland than to say that he reminds me ofa strong, self-made bank pore who has not been much in courtier life, but whose native courace and respectable instincts would acquit him weil anywhere. He has not that shy look you often saw on President Grant’s face. :He has not that clear moral complexion borne by Hayes. He does not tower up like the soldier school teacher that Gar- field was. Yet there is soniething about him more decided and executive like than any of these men. He is big enoughto make a physical impression: thoughtful enough in coun- tenance to show that he is not bad-hearted. When he setties down to write you see that business is his ruling inclination. I fancy that in tnis man we have come nearer a commercial age than we ever essed: that while he has been a lawyer. bis true nt was for something commefcial and executive, and that his official positions, which have a:ways been of an executive character, have turned the country clerk and commercial lawyer into a factor of public office. The intellectual life of the man I should think to be but moderate and subordinate to his official career. I got a good deal of light on him when the person already quoted told me that be had been for years a clerk inastore. I thoteht after that | could see something of the development of the country clerk upward, one who had waited on customers with at- tention and diligence, and preserved just enough bonhoinie to have it said that he wasaright clever feliow.

Cleveland’s Peculiafities Described. Washington Correspondence Indianapolis Journal. “Unless Iam greatly mistaken in human nature ir. general and Grover Cleveland in particular, there will be alot of people disappointed in this city on the 4th of March,” observed a brother of Secretary Post of the Democratic Congressional Committee. “TI know Grover Cleveland personally and well, and if he rides in a carriage at the head of a procession from the Capitol to the White House after the inau- guration I shall be very much surprised. He is one of the plainest men lever saw. He doesn’t believe in display in the lirst place, and he wouldn't want to be bored with such an affairif hedid No, heis not cranky; he is a plain man—that’s it. About the Executive Mansion at Albany he lives like a farmer. Ihave often seen him around there. He always prefers walking fromthe depot tothe Executive Mansion in returning home. He seldom rides toa theater or anywhere about town. There are no secretive qualities about him. Any and everything from all tonnage dues, port charges and clearance dues.

ARTICLE SIXTEENTH. The consular officers of the United States and Spain shall not claim nor collect, while this trea is in foree, any of the fees enumerated in the tari of consular charges of the United States and Spain, as compensation for official services rendered to vessels of the United States or of Spain engaged in trade between said United States and the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. In respect to cargoes transported by said ships the two powers reserve to themselves the right to recompense services ren- dered to navigation, commerce and trade, as re- ferred to in this article and performed by consular officials, adopting for this purpose such methods as they may deem proper, but without tax of any sort upon said navigation, commerce or cargoes. ARTICLE SEVENTEENTH. By common accord the two high contracting parties agree in the present treaty that fine and pecuniary penalties imposed, and the proceeds of confiscations which may be effected as a consequence of infractions of the customs laws and reguiations of the United States and of the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico, when the fines, penalties and confisca- tions proceed from infractions of said laws and or- States or of Spain. If, during the existence of this treaty, any reduction is made inthe import duties of the United States upon any article or articles among those enumerated in the tariff upon which duties are imposed, thé duties of the said tariff “A” shall be proportionally reduced upon said articles. Article Second.—Spain, in reciprocity of the con- cessions and privileges stipulated by the United States of America inthe present treaty, and as an equivalent of the same,.agrees to admit into all _ ports of entry of the Spanish Isles and provinces of Cuba Porto co, free of im- port duties or with the duties imposed in the annexed tariffs marked “B" and “CO,” respectively, all the articles and merchandise enumerated in said tariffs, provided always, that the articles or merehundise enumerated in said tariffs “B” and ““C” shali be natural products or roducts of the industries or manufactures of the nited States; and, furthermore. that said articles or merchandise shall be transported directly from the United States to the said islands in ms which shall be the EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF SPANISH CITIZENS or of citizens of the United States, and whose offi- cers shall be respectively Spanish citizens ,oFr citi- zens of the said United States.

The text of the new Spanish treaty will be found among our special telegrams to-day, and our readers can judge for themselves how much there is in the obje¢tions that were urged against it from the outline of its provisions re- cently published. , One of the objections was that the provisions favoring cargoes under the Spanish and Amer- ican flags would not secure us any larger share of the carrying trade between our own and Cu- ban ports, as the liberal navigation laws of England and Spain would enable British ship owners to transform their vessels into Spanish ships by merely employing: Spanish flag cap- tains. , Another objection was that no stipulation in the treaty itself could secure us any favor which other nations could not claim and share equally under the ‘most favored nation” clauses of their treaties with Spain. So it was said that the advantages apparently offered to us by the treaty were more imaginary than real. On the other hand, it was urged asa fatal objection that the treaty leaves Spain free to impose ex- port taxes to the full amount of the import duties taken off by us from the products of Cuba and Porto Rico. If open to these objections the treaty would simply transfer a revenue of more than thirty millions perannum from our National Treas- ury to the Treasury of Spain, without materially extending our trade or benefiting our shipping interests, and without benefiting either Cuban producers or the American con- sumers of Cuban products. The Hawaiian treaty simply took three mil- tion will be the most magnificent public demon- stration ever seen in this county. ote —— One of the interesting features of the New Orleans Exposition will be a competitive art display, entered into by the artists of the Sun- day morning papers of this city and the artist of “little Freddy's” slate cartoonsin Puck.

It will be a great service to art when this bill is passed, but it will be a greater service if any one can induce the Sunday morning papers to desist from illustrations. ce ee ee ee WE publish the full text of the celebrated Foster treaty with Spain.

SENATOR MILLER, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, indulges in sonie remarkable statements about the Nicara- gua treaty and the way it will uphold our leadership on this continent.

If Buarne had been elected they would have nothing more to fear than an investigation, an adverse report . from a majority of the committee and a de- . fense from the minority, to be followed by re- tention in office and further rewards for their geal. Now they will take their chances between law, the authorities have ruined one of the most promising of our future public men. There is a brilliancy, an originality, a genius in the idea of combining the two functions of policeman and eafe-blower which mark Mr. Durr as one of the great minds of the century. To an in- ___ tellect.so acute, so piercing, so enterprising, no ___ @iibition was impossible, no destiny too lofty. Had the stern severity of the law not inter- + ‘fered to blight the brightness of his promise, it ‘would be easy fo think of Mr, Durry as a if lions of revenue from the public treasury and gave it annually to the Claus Spreckels monop- oly, and at the same time increased the cost of sugar to the Pacific coast consumers without benefiting the Sandwich Islanders, as the monopoly imported coolie labor to pro- duce the sugar. Itis said that a rich syndi- cate has been purchasing Mexican sugar lands with a view of establishing another Claus Spreckels monopoly under the proposed Mexi- can reciprocity treaty, and that this Spanish reciprocity treaty is only part of a scheme promising free trade in spots, but really de- signed to promote monopolies, which, after they have broken down our own. sugar pro- ducers, will have consumers at their mercy. By studying the instrument itself with refer- ence to these objections, business men can form their own opinions and intelligently follow the ensuing discussion of this important subject. Any citizen who wishes to post himself on the merits of the controversy over street pav- ing material in St. Louis would do well to be- gin by inspecting the alleged Nicholson pave- ment on Fourth street, between Locust and Washington avenue; a cross section of its ridges and terraces recalls the pictures of the cliff dwellings of the Moqui Indians in Arizona. Then it would be well to study the granite question on South Seventh street. Here the workmen are engaged in digging up the granite which ‘was planted last spring, presumably to see if it has grown any since then. Chouteau avenue affords a fine study of macadam effects. By diligent boring traces of last year’s macad- am can be found at varying depths nearly all along the avenue. The assortment of our pave- ments closes with the Pine street asphalt race track, where chariot races of the coal haulers and lumber dealers attest the care with which our street interests are guarded. It is believed that the assortment of street pavements in St. Louis is unique. THERE is a tinge of irony in the statement that the recent investigations into the accounts in the Department of Justice will probably re- sult in a substitution of salaries for fees. For sixteen years the machinery of the Department has been abused to do party service; the abuses have been open and notorious; complaint has been made again and again; proof has been offered, reform demanded; but nofhing has been done. Any Republican who would admit that there were any abuses was called a “traitor.” It was almost a test of patriotism to believe in the honesty and accuracy of the accounts in the Department of Justice. What does the change mean? It means simply that the defenders of old abuses are becoming alarmed. They have good reason to be. Their time iscoming.

Railroads which were originally built by the money of the people of Missourj, and of St. Louis especially, are being conducted so as to take as inuch trade as possible away from St. Louis and carry it elsewhere.

First, the Grand Jury of the United States Court, which has as much lawful concern with the election ofa State Senator as the Parliament of Great Britain, undertook, without regard to law, to mmves- tigate the election, not with any idea of lawful ac- tion, but to make a party point in advance of the action of the lega! authorities. Upon the strength of the testimony thus said to have been obtained, though not a word of it has been imany formal way established, the Governor not only withholds the certificate of election froin the candidate returned as elected—who had, indeed, declined to receive it—but has given it to the other | candidate, of whose election he has no official evi- dence whatever.

If the nado om te did not take his seat the Senate "would have been a tie and the Republican, if he had the dase that is claimed, must have been seated. That woiild have been the lawful course. But the Governor takes snap judgment and secures the seat for his party candidate in advance—notupon the returns, noreven upon Jegal évidence of fraud, but only upon an extra legal allegation. Very likely the end attained is equitable, but it is attained in a lawless way that will give excuse for worse lawless- ness hereafter. The German Mission. From the New York World. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat makes the follow- ing reference to a prominent St. Louisan: It looks very much as if Mr. Charles Gibson, of this city, would bea candidate for the Berlin Mis- sion, and that he would have the strong backing of the Post-Dispatcsu and the New York Woritp. And Mr. Gibson would fill the bill about as well as any- body who is likely to desire or to accept the office. This compliment from a Republican journal is certainly deserved. Mr. Gibson stands at the head of the St. Louis bar, His character is pure and un- impeachable. He isa Virginian by birth and the only American citizen, perhaps, who is the friend of two Emperors He has been honored, with decora- tions by both Emperor William and Franz Josef in the way of recognition of eminent legal services performed. Despite all this Sir Charles Gibson is thoroughly Democratic and all his inspirations are patriotic. He would undoubtedly be acceptable to the German Court if accredited as our Minister, and he would certainly confer credit upon our Republic in that capacity. Cleveland’s Cabinet. From the New York World. Money is becoming the autocrat in political as in social life. It no longer contents itself with the glitter and tinsel of society, with fat poodles, liv- eried servants and gaudy coats-of-arms. It stretches into politics and seeks to corrupt the popular vote and subvert the popular will at the ballot-box. The false report that Gov. Cleveland is in sympa- thy with the monopolies bas been believed, and hon- estly believed, by many Democrats. In constructing the frame work of his adminis- tration President Cleveland must show that these suppositions are erroneous. His Cabinet must be a practical proof of his entire and fearless indepen- dence of all these corrupting interests. It must win back good Democrats who have strayed from the fold, by showing them from the commencement that the Democratic President is the friend of hon- est labor and the enemy of all enemies of the peo- e. iii Cleveland’s policy is to shape his views on these and other subjects in his mind and to fit to them the advisers he calls around him. New Style at the Opera House. From the Chicago Herald. There is something new to grand opera here, and one of the results is comical. A box already filied with belles is entered by several beaux. Thereis a huddling and rustling in the formation of a tableau, for they are aware that they are on view to nearly the whole house, and they enter into animated con- versation, entirely confident that they are more in- teresting than the proceedings on the stage, where a lank Tannhaueser is being tempted,by a fat Venus. At this juncture the stalwart German father of a present family stands up in the midst of his an- noyed following, faces the box squarley, and says: “Sdop—sdop—hoo-o-sh!” The fashionables are as completely extinguished as though a bomb of car- bonic acid had been smashed among them. These episodes, varying from the spoken reproof of an individual to the hisses of a hundred, are of almost nightly occurrence. O Geminil From the New York World. And now conservative Connecficut, having giving its vete for Cleveland, is coming tothe front con- spicuously as a producer of population.

Desdemona hesitated before her “divided duty; the daughters of Con- necticut are impulsively doing doubie duty. Bismarck and Kailway Passes. From the Pall Mall Budget, There will be much gnashing of teeth in German Parliamentary circles when the usual railway passes to which every M. P. of the Empire is enti- tled come to be distributed at the beginning of next session. . Ever since 1878 these passes have enabled Deputies to travel free of charge by every Govern- ment and private railway in the Empire during the session, and a week« before and after, due compen sation being paid tothe railways by the Govern- ment. Prince Bismarck, however, finding that these passes were largely used for private and busi- ness purposes by some of the members, has issued an order restricting the use of the new railway passes to the journeys between Berlin and each Deputy’s place of résidence. A Sure Way to Get Rich. From the Wall Street Daily News. The owner of a chair shop in a town in Wisconsin figured away fora week before hesaw his way clear. It was evident that he must either reduce wages or discharge some of the men, and he was working to get around it. He finally called them to- gether and said: “Ghentlemens, it vhas hardt times; [haf blenty shairs, but no orders, I vas oaferpro- ductioned for der market. I don't like to shut up shop, und I doan’ like to cut down vages, sol fix it some odder vay. -My capital vhas $12,000 und my stock on hand vhas $7,000.

At the time he could neither read hor write. He remainea here about a year, and during that time succeeded in learning to write his name so that it could be de- ciphered.

The dispatches sent by the Associated Press representing that vio- lence and bloodshed were imminent were wholly untrue, and the cal! on Governor Waller for troops to suppress a supposed riot appears to have been un warranted,” THE SUN. The Sun says: “It is expected that the draft of the proposed canal treaty with Nicarague announced by President Arthur in his messare a week ago will be sent to the Senate to-day. The discussion of this important measure, involving, as it probably does, an entirely new line of — policy, and a government undertaking of start- ling magnitude and sensational interest, will not be confined to the Senate chamber.

A Boy Convict Fairly Hacked to Pieces by His Brutal Cell-Mato, Jouret, Itu., December 8.—The Northern Peniten- tiary here, so prolific of horrors, was the scene last night of one of the most thrilling tragedies in its history. John Kelly, a hardened criminal, who is now serving his second term for burglary, butchered his celil-mate, Wm. Gaines, who was but a boy of 17 years. Kelly was leader of the shoeshop gang, and Gaines was a water carrier, For some weeks there had been bad feeling between the two, which seemed to have no more definite cause than lack of congeniality, and Kelly threatened to kill the boy. The latter made no complaint for fear that he might not be given a change of cell, and in that evént Kelly would be more evil-dis ithanever. Last night, in ing to his cel), Kelly carried with him a shoe-knife and shoe hammer. He made no demonstration til] after the 9 o'clock signal for the putting out of lights and going to bed. When all was quiet Kelly stood near the door as though listening for the night guard. He claimed co have heard some man in an adjoining cell call him an ugly name, and the boy, not sus ing his state of mind,told him to come to bed and not make a fool of himself. At this Ke!ly turned upon the lad, who was already in bed, and assaulted him with thehammer. There was a brief struggle, and the hammer was dropped, Then Kelly drew his shoe-knife and began to plunge it time after time through the sheet in which young Gaines had wrapped himself.

The Clark case up to date makes one of the most complete criminal romances yet spread upon the records of St. Louis justice. It has elements of humor as wellas crime, and, taken al! in all, it makes a story which might well furnisha theme for a novelist or a plot for a playwright. Charles Coleman, alias Clark, isa good-looking, bright young man, with what is described in the police reports as a pleasing ad- dress. He talks well, looks _ straight into the eyes of his interlocutor and deports himself asa good man struggling with adversity. He had trouble in Illinois and served a term in the Peniten- tiary, after which he came to Missouri, making his headquarters at Hannibal, where he won the affec- tions of Miss Goslin, the lady he married. He was an enterprising burglar and burgled nearly all the time, The safes of Hannibal were so much egg- shell work to him; he opened them as with a can- opener and lived on the fat of the land. Out of sheer malice he broke into a freight car at Hannibal and took out two hundred bats. Not being able to wear them, he sold some of them, and from the clew thus afforded. Detective Furlong soon had him learning the shoemaker's trade within the Jefferson City Penitentiary. He was a mode! prisoner, and soon earned his liberty. His first care on getting out was to seek out Detec- tive Furlong and assure him that he had made up his mind to “square it,”’ and that he was now work- ing at his trade, shoemaking, on Eighth and Wash- ington avenue, with J. R. Crabb & Co. Shortly after Coleman, alias Clark, began to square it. The safe of the City Clerk of East St. Louis was blown open on the 22d of May last, and some $3,000 taken. The robbery was so bold and so successful that it created adealof talk, and, owing toa number of suspicious circumstances, Lieutenant Duffy was per- mitted to resign from the police force shortly after the robbery. A reward of $1,500 was hunz out for the detection of the thieves, but resultlessly. A number of pointers coming together made Detective Furlong believe that Clark, was concerned in the robbery, and about ten days since he gave a friendly tip to the St. Louis officers, The story of the manner in which Clark’s house was garrisoned, and his wife prevented from giv- ing the alarm, has been already detailed at length in these columns. Letters from Clark to his wife were intercepted, by which the missing man was located at Springfield, in custody for a petty misde- meanor there. Chief of Detectives Burke at once started for Springfield, and Sunday mornin g returned with Mr. Clark, against whom there was upto this time nothing but suspicion. Clark inthe meantime had very nearly effected his escape. He was brought back to St. Louis, how- rt! where he made the following startling con- THE CONFESSION.

Chief of Police of St. Louis, Mo., relative to the robbery of the vault.in the City Clerk's office in East St. Louis, [ll.,on the night of the 2ist or morning of the 22d of May, 1884. Made by me this 7th day of December, 1884. On the night of the ry was sitting on a barrel half a block from Shea's saloon, when Police Officer Jerry Halloran of the East St. Louis force came up and on the corner, when I said: “It looks as though it was going to rain.” I do not remember what wassaid, but we were there about five minutes when Lieut. Duffy came along. He addressed him- self to Halloran, and said: “Why don’t you go down where I told you? What in —— is the mat- ter?” Hailoran said nothing, but walked down the street. He (Halloran) looked as though he sus- some was wrong. There were one or two other officers Duffy told that he did not need that night. That was for the purpose of keeping the officers out of the way, as they would be in that neighbor- hood if they were on duty that night. Ihad the tools there and ready to do the work. was with me all night and showed me how to get into the vault or room where the vault was, ée first tried the door and could not open it. We then went to the window on the outside and went in through it. Duffy sat outside on the steps until after I got the money. We then went toa back room in Duffy's house and divided the money. We had about $1,500 each, and I said, ‘‘I have seen @ good many police- men in my life, but you area .” [then said to him, “Now that we have divided the money you keep your part and I will keep mine. If you get caught it will be your fault, and if i get caught it will be mine.” Ileft himin his house about 3:30 o’clock a. m., and I came across the river. There were no city warrants taken. It was all gold, silver and greenbacks. il think it was the second day afterward that I went over the river, where I met Duffy in Shea's saioon. We walked from there down to the Relay Retreat. We had a couple of drinks, He was verv nervous andappeered to be badly frightened, and he advised me to leave the country, the town was flooded with detectives. Isaid there was no evi- ~— h the Gage as follows: “When Chief Halloran es og the facts ta mea I told him Thad my hands full at home, but tha: I yous give him what he'p I could.

Clark asked me if I wouldn't help him and he would tell me something about men in St. Louis. I told him that I would do anything for him that Ithought consist- ent, but I said I didn’t know how he stood as I only had the other side of the story. This aroused bim, and, supposing Duffy bad given him away, he opened out and gave me the whole history of the business, which I took down richt here.” “Are any other persons iniplicated in the East St. Louis work?” “No, no one but Duffy and Clark. Ihave told you what connection this man Eagan had with the introduction of the men.”’ Chief Harrigan was asked his opinion of Clarke and said: ‘He is 29 years old, pretty sharp, and a good safe blower. I don’t count hiin first-class by any means, but stil] he might be very troublesome. He talked of Red Leary while he was in my office, but that’s all nonsense. Red Leary wouldn't touch him with a pole. Clark, alias Mike Coleman was first convicted in Chicago by Capt. O'Donnell and sent to Joliet for stealing a watch chain from a woman. Detective Furlong sent him to Jefferson City afterwards from Hanni- bal, Mo. Altogether he has been on the turf about ten or twelve years.” & WHAT THE PRISONERS SAY. A visit was made to East St. Louis this morning, and, through the kindness of Chief Halloran, access was permitted to the prisoners. Since their incar- ation Duffy and Clark have not been allowed to communicate at all. Their cells are at different of the prison, and a trol constantly guards the middle. Jark, as stated above is a oe my fellow hardly thirty, perfectly willing to talk. He that be meansto stay by the confession printed above, and admits that he could not go back on it if he wished to. As to the story that he was hired by Detective Furipng to go over to East St. Louis and help run down the safe blowers there, Ciark laughingly said it was a true bill. “You see, | came over here as a sort of deputy fily- cop, and pretty soon I ran into Duffy. ‘My God, man,’ he said to me, ‘what are you doing here? Don't you know that the town is fuilof detectives” ‘Yes,’ said, 1 ‘of course I know it. Ain't I one of them? You better be careful what you’re up to orllirun youin.’ Lieft thetown alittle after that.” Clark repeats the main og => of his con- versation and seems ready to talk freely on every question that comes up. MR. THOMAS FURLONG, who first directed attention to Clark, said this morning: “Clark. or, rather, Mike Coleman, lies about my hiring him to hunt up the safe-blowers in East St. He knew a lot of hog thieves who were doin us up at the stock yards, and him to locate them for me. This he did faithfully. Hetold me that the man who was doi the work was sick near the Stock Yards, which I found to be true, as the fellow was afterwards taken to Chicago, where he died. The hog stealing Clark professed ended at this time too. the greatest willingness to serve me or give me atip on anything coming his way, but the fact that he didn't whenl spoke to him about this and other wor owed me that there was nothing in his prot jons. When 1 ques- tioned C about the East St. Louis job I wasn't far off and I suggested Clark to the city officers.” THOMAS DUFFY isa scorbutic-faced man with shifting. unsteady eyes, very nervous and very anxious. He is smart enough, however, to keep entirely silent. “If | knew what I was charged with,’ said he toa Post-Dispatcn reporter, “J could make a state- ment, but I have no idea at all about it.” “Clark has given you dead away,’ saidthe re “Seeing that I have done nothing to be given away for, that doesn't affect me.” “It is said that you got half of the money stolen from _the city treasury safe when it was blown Savs open? “Oh, well, that’s nonsense, you know I want to see ai lawyer. I don't know what sort of a trap has been laid for me inthis thing. If I had aciear statement be- fore me I would talk willingly, ail I can say now is that any man who charges me with anything wrong That is the word that covers the whole case. It's a lie.” A great deal of excitement was caused in Fast St. Louis by the statement that other city officia!s were concerned in the‘robbery which in a vague and uncertain way was made in the morning papers. Mr. T. Canty, the City Clerk, Chief of Police O'Halloran and Aiderman Shea join in one statement, however, which is of a very substantial character. Mr. Canty acted as spokesman for the y, and in that capacity made e allow ng. ailegation. “Both Duffy and his wife at the time of the arrest stated to the Chief here and myself that this arrest was a plant of Bowman's; that MR. JOHN BOWMAN HAD OFFERED purry $00 to implicate me in the robbery. 1 believe that aos Oa telling the truth when he made the state- dence against us, that it could not be found out un- less one of us gave it away. I was introduced to Duffy by Pat Eagan, who keeps a saloon over there in Kust St. Louis, about two weeks before the rob- bery (on the sidewalk infront of Shea’s saloon). was attending bar for Sheaat that time. D ’ did not say anything to me that time about it, but | met him three or four days afterward down by his own house. It wasin the evening, and he said there was “a big thing bere if you have a mind to takea hand in it." 1 asked him what it was. He said there was about $40,000 in the City Clerk’s safe, and it could be got provided I could open the safe. I then told him to find out how long the vault see who was the maker of after telling him rom work and get the tools made. I was working for J. R. Orabb, Eighth and Washington avenue.

Duff é i f if ei i Fi : é 3 5 yf “At any rate,” added Chief Halloran, “the state- ment was made in my hearifg. Duff said, as Mr. Canty tells you, that Bowman had of- fered him $500 to implicate Canty in the robbery.” Alderman Shea also stated that he heard Duffy make the same statement but at a different time. case. Chief Halloran has declined to take any bond for either of the prisoners until after the examination this In the mean- Wasutnoeton, D.

GROVER CLEVELAND. —— Gath’s Pen Picture of the New Presi- dent-Elect. ——— Another Man’s Account of His Official Characteristics, — New York Cor. Cincinnati Frquirer. The room presents both in appointments and au- dience something of the appearance of a prime minister or king, when suddenly the wainscotting at Citizens ‘ the rear opens, and there steps in a substantial-look- ing man with a firm tread, no clumsiness of move- ment, solid, slow, but not stiff, and he is dressed in black all over, dressed rather negligently, as if the black suit had been well worn,and he holds his hands towards his hips and a little behind him in unconstrained yet settled position. He has a portly figure, a short neck and a head of good size, not as iu the caricatures of the last Campaign, with a brow noticeably narrow. His hair is brown, and much browner than the portraits and photorraphs make itappear. It does not look like black hair at a dis- tance, and closer by is seen to be a medium brown, more sandy than black. It is pretty thick hair, but has fallen off at places, and there isa large bald spot just behind the crown of his head. His skin is healthy, but it is that of the German and of the good liver. He has a moustache of a brown color, tolerably large. His nose is something between a Roman and a Jewish. Hisforehead is good. His eyes are of a blue color, and not very firm in tint, as if with a fluid tendency. They are not disagree- able eyes, but somewhat cold. The e on of Governor Cleve'and’s face is that of aman habituated to consider business things. and not decide them without a little anxiety. It is not the anxiety of a nervous man, but that of a positive one, who wishes to take a successful and stern view of the case, and not to be accused of infirmity in his judgment. You see a face like this in a good many ks about the time persons are going in for loans, and the President's face is just nalf welcoming, with a shade toward the word. “no.” At the same time, Governor Cleveland moves about his office like its master, or, rather, its owner—one firm in his position, solid on his feet, and by weight accustomed to. stay, rather than waltz about. He would turn from left to right and advance a step or two, then turn to another group, and perhaps his hand will fly out for a moment and ou hear his voice, somewhat in the throat, affable ut dry, distinct, and generally accompanied with a short, brief nod of the head. Not a single sign of the vote-getter is in that man. He does not look like a man who ever golicited a vote, and if he had, was rather ashamed of it. He makes the impression of a person in a situation where it is easier to concede and make a mistake than to shake his head short and say “No.” In- deed, while we are looking at him, he is saying no. People are going up with their pardon cases. He says, smiling a little, shaking his head a little, step- ping a little within a small radius, “Ah. no, not to- day. Iam afraid can not take up any pardon cases to-day. What is your case?” to a conspicu- ous man; “a pardon case? Well, you may come again at 11 o'clock, and i will try and see you then. No inore 10n cases now.” Then, while some are waiting and some are going off, he sits down at a table and begins to write,com- posing amidst the crowd as if he were accustomed to it. Introduced to any stranger, he seldom has anything to say, unless that stranger be some equa! or party friend; when he may make a little phrase almost in monospilabies, intimating that he knows who he is, theti there is a littlesmile,a jerk or two of the head, and he is down at the table again writing something with his hand. I foresee that the question will be asked whether Cieveland impressed meas a gentleman? He impressed me as a New York State gentleman. That is to say, a successful business man in mer- chandise or finance. His manuers were those you generally find inthe head of some iarge business establishment; not a man who wants to sell youa bill, but who represents the house, knows its strength, and isin his business hours while you are looking at him. I can not get a nearer description of Cleveland than to say that he reminds me ofa strong, self-made bank 2 agese eae who has not been much in courtier life, but whose native courage and respectable instincts would acquit him weil anywhere. He has not that shy look you often saw on President Grant's face. :He has not that clear moral complexion borne by Hayes. He doves not tower up li the soldier school teacher that Gar- field Was. Yet there is something about him more decided and executive like than any of these men. He is big enoughto maxe a physical impression: thoughtful enough in coun- tenance to show that he is not bad-hearted. When he settles down to write you see that business is his ruling inclination. I fancy that in this man we have come nearer a commercial age than we ever essed; that while he has been a lawyer. bis true oes was for something commefcial and executive, and that his official positions; which have a:ways been of an executive charactér, have turned the country clerk and commercial lawyer into a factor of public office. The intellectual life of the man I should think to be but moderate and subordinate to his official career. I got a good deal of light on him when the person already quoted told me that he had been for years a clerk inastore. I thotght after that | could see something of the development of the country clerk upward, one who had waited on cusiomers with at- tention and diligence, and preserved just enough bonhotnie to have it said that he wasaright clever feliow, Cleveland’s Peculiafities Described. Washington Correspondence Indianapolis Journal. ““Uniess lam greatly mistaken in human nature ir general and Grover Cleveland in particular, there will be alot of people disappointed in this city on the 4th of March,” observed a brother of Secretary Post of the Democratic Congressional Committee. “T know Grover Cleveland personally and well, and if he rides in a carriage at the head of a procession from the Capitol to the White House after the inau- guration I shall be very much surprised. He is one of the plainest men lever saw. He doesn't believe in display in the tirst place, and he wouldn't want to be bored with such an affair if hedid No, he is not cranky; he is a plain man-that’s it. About the Executive Mansion at Albany he lives like a farmer, Ihave often seen him around there. He always prefers walking from the depot tothe Executive Mansion in returning home. He seldom rides toa theater or anywhere about town. There are no secretive qualities about him, Any and everything he does he thinks is all fright, and he doesn’t care to keep it a secret, and so he makes it public if there are any circumstances con- nected with it calling for publicity. Iwas not sur- prised tu hear the Maria Halpin story. I venture he never tried to cover thatup. If he was guilty he didn’t think it was disgraceful, and so he gave it all the latitude it wanted He has no regard for his personal reputation. He simply does what he wants to, and lets the people put their own con- struction u his purposes in doing it. That will be his line in the ite House.” . “Somebody says he is stubborn, * I suggested. “Well, if he isn't, I never saw an obstinate man,” laughingly replied Mr. Post. “He is said todo just the contrary to pong clamor, if he can find any- to justify him.” ‘He won't make removals from office to gratify the y, then?” : “Not much. If a man wants him to let him re- main in office, he had better not bother him much; and if a mana wants an appointment, he would do well to do his request properly. He is not the man who would make changes just for the novelty of having changes; neither would he remove a faithful officer, if he knew it, toappeaseclamor. He would, however, remove an officer if he didn't do his work well, and if he didn’t work long. . “Industrious Grover, then?’ “Works more hours a day than any public officer lever saw.

Fraudulent Representations Regard- ing Work on the Levees. Thousands of Workingmen Turned Tramps in the South—Memphis Thronged With Laborers—E m- ployment Ageneies and Contractors Com- Crowds of Unemployed binedin Making False Representations— Work for Only 6 Per Ceut of the Arrivals —A Laborer's Story. A laboring man whose BF net appearance gave evidence of a recent disheartening struggle against the fates, called at the Post-Dispatcna office this morning and told a story of misfortune which will prove as a warning to others. He said: “I have just got up this morning from Memphis, where I went in search of work, but failed to find it. My home is in Cincinnati, which city I left last Monday morning in the hope of getting work from McGinty & Reid, contractors on the levee. Being»out of work, I was hunting a job in Cincinnati, when I read a notice to the effect that that firm had employment for 1,000 laborers at Trotter's Landing, a point below Memphis. I consulted a firm of employment agents and was informed that, if I went to Memphis, I could find work at Trotter's landing at $2 a day, provided I stayed twenty-six days, and $1 75a day forashorter stay. I raised money to take me to Memphis, the ticket costing me $740, and arrived there with only a few cents in my pocket, but con- fident of at once obtaining work. . When I reached there I found that it would be necessary for me to pay $140 to take me to Trotter’s Landing, but, before starting, I decided to investigate the state of affairs, as the large number of unemployed laboring men hanging around the levee at Memphis made me suspicious that something might be wrong. ——— with a number of them and soon found a THE GLOWING ACCOUNTS SUPPLIED by the employment agencies were untrue. In Memphis advertisements for laborers to work at Trotter's Landing were to be seen on all the walls, but they were cruelly deceptive. I found out that out of every 100 men who paid $1 40 each for trans- portation, barely half a dozen got work when they reached Trotter’s Landing. They reached there confident of at once being supplied with employ- ment, but. after a very small number of them had neen selected, the remainder were coolly told that there was no work for them. The consequence is that there are hundreds of destitute workingmen at that place and in Memphis, whose only means of reaching home again is to beg and one their way ack. Not only was it almost im ble to get Work, but the reports of those who had secured em- ployment were anything. bat satisfactory. They all said that the food supplied them was so vile that they could not eat it nos 5 reduced by hard work andjong fasts toa condition of semi-starvation.

Fanny Elsslor’s Lovers. From the Philadciphia Telegraph. The celebrated danseuse Fanny Elssler, whose death in Vienna is reported, was born in Vienna in 1811. A coryphee of the opera dwelt ina house adjoining the resiaence of Herr Eiss- ler. An intimacy subsisted between the fami- lies and the glitter of the stage had often daz- zled the vision of the sisters, Fanny and The- rese Elssler, and they were constantly asking from their neighbor an admission to the theater. The first visit fixed the destiny of the sisters. Fanny immediately made application for a »lace in the ballet, and her handsome face’and tigure and bright intelligence at’ once secured her her desire. She was in the ballet when Taglioni made her debut in Vienna. Her prog- ress wassoi rapid that the director “a shortly assigned her pt wy in the ballet. Within a year she was called on to rehearse the principal partin the ballet of ‘‘La Fee.” Her success was unequivocal. The roval family of Naples invited her to their capital. She went, she saw, she conquered, and returned in triumph to be installed as premiere danseuse of the Veinna Imperial Grand Opera. It was on her return that occurred a passage in her life which, whether justly or not, has thrown a dark shade upon it. The Duke of Reichstadt, the young King of Rome, was then residing in Vienna, He was the subject of much difficulty to Metternich, who was then directing the destinies of Austria. It was said ‘that this wily and heartless statesman desired to get him out of the way,and with this view em- loyed Elssler to play serpent and crush him in er coils. Be this as it may, they were brought ther. The Duke was then very young and delicate. He became at once deeply fascinated with the beautiful Fanny and she was fond of him. In the early of his illness she attend- ed him with much devotion, but before his death she left Vienna and ap at Berlin. Oid King Ferdinand was said to have been a victim of her fascinations. He wrote: ‘I love her because to look at her brings back my youth,” and he certainly offered her a perma- nent engagement on any terms she chose, and, as a further inducement for her to reside in Berlin, an annual life pension was offered her of $3,000 provided she would eng to dance there for ten years, but she declined and pro- ceeded to London, where she again carried the town by storm Offers of marriage from men in first-class circles of society met her in every city. She was followed from London to Paris by bevies of infatuated swains. Fanny was fastidious in her fancies. The only tender passion, vpen and declared, to which she yield- ed, besides that for the young King of Rome, was one for his illegitimate brother, Count Walewski, who was afterwards the friend of Rachel. e wasthe father of her son, and. judging from her letters, she was onately love with him. The nce ° Syracuse, brother of the iggy Naples, was the father of her daughter. th her son and the hus- band of her daughter are Austrian Barons. In England she had a long train of devoted ad- mirers. Sex our men’s great $10 cassimere suits at the Grose, 714 and 716 Franklin ave. Painting Her Red.

And years rolled by, but I, content, Trimmed my own lamp and kept it bright, Till age’s touch my hair besprent With rays and gieams of silver light. And then, it chanced, I took the bock Which she perused in days gone by; And as I such passion shook My soul—I needs must curse and cry.

From the Washington Gazette. Few are aware that in the broad vaults of the Treasury are deposited for safe-keeping a large uantity of diamonds and other precious stones. mong them is a bottle four or five inches long filled with diamonds, and there are many other kinds of precious stones. set in gold ornaments, intended for personal wear. The first collection of which we have any authentic account has been in the custody of the Treasury officials for over forty-five years. They were sent to President Van Buren by the Imaum of Oman, whose capital city of Muscat, in Arabia, on the Persian Gulf, is the most widely known of all Arabian cities as to out- siders. The Imaum a found that Martin Van Buren was two-fold sharper, keener, subtler and dandier than he was himself, sent these diamonds and pearls to him. As the Con- stitution expressly forbade any person con- nected with the Government accepting any present or decoration from any foreign power or potentate without express authority of Con- gress, the jewels were turned over to the Treas- ury, where they are now. But the Imaum’s gift is not all, There are in the collection superb jewels received at other times and in various ways. Torquoises, blue as Syrian summer skies; emeralds like the re- flection of Ireland’s n turf in her crystal- waved lakes; rubies, Oriental rubies that flash a world of liquid crimson light till the eye grows dim with gazing; sapphires; pearls as white as the foam of the sea, and opals that shimmer with resinous radiance as only the precious opal can—all these are there. There are many beautiful and many quaint orna- jeweled brooches and rings and sword hilts; bedimonded creeses brought from the Malay isles by Wilkes, and lots of other rare and valuable trinkets. They have no definite owners, and are placed in the Treasury vaults because they are too valuable to throw away, and nobody dares to claim them because nobody has any right to them. ” A Marine Monster.

A ROYAL SOCIALIST. | The Alleged Natural Son of King Will- iam as a Leader. Washington Cor. N. Y. Mail. The latest reports of socialistic riots at —— and Paris have caused nearly as much in the German as in the French legation here. The heads of both MM. Avensleben and Rous- tan have recently arrived from Europe, and have found their legations standing upon a foot- ing of cordial friendship, established during M. Roustan’s absence by the efforts of M. Le- faivre, French consul general and representa- tive atthe Washington claim and meridian conferences. The evident connection between the electoral successes of the German socialists, who were openly and practically hel at the second ballot by the money of the nch or- ganizations, and the riots at Lyons and Paris has so frightened the German diplomatists here that they have let outa secret, or what they thought to be such, for it was not a secret for the revolutionists of Europe.

In sq called ‘‘viereck” (abbreviation for “four cor- ners’’), and the most popular socialist in that Leipzig electoraPdistrict was actually named Viereck. Everybody understood the bill rep- resenting a square, and the name of Viereck cast 13,373 ballots. Now, it has leaked out, even in our austere diplomatic circles, that, in 1840, a talented female tragedian made her de- but at the Royal Theater in Berlin, and that she attracted the attention of Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, brother of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. He was often seen with her until 1848, when he failed in drowning in blood the Berlin revolution and took ne land. The actress went then to Bres y and again lived in the greatest King Wilhelm until her death. Viereck ; and thus the Leipzig is the natural son of Emperor Wilhelm. All Traveling Humbugs Eclipsed.

Oneofthe policemen of this district told me yesterday that he saw a colored woman the description I gave running from Maple into Schell street, toward Vine, at about the time I was robbed.

Colonel Mateland was recently appointed t of a well-known life-insurance company. high standing of the Colonel and his excel- lent qualifications as a business man immedi- ately secured for him a remunerative run of business. The othsr day, while sitting in his office, a healthy-looking man entered and said that he would like to have his lifeinsured. “I am in something of a hurry,” said he, “for my friends are waiting for me at the door. I want a $10,000 policy.” The sas yer hy physician, who was present, pronounced him sound, and the policy was soon made out. Several days later a man met the **And you insuréd it?” “Of course.

He Was Convinced That Teemer’s Managers Had Arranged to Lose the Race—A Strong Argument in Support of the Decision. ” Mr. Thomas Gallagher. the sporting editor of the Globe-Democrat, who was the referee in the late Gaudaur-Teemer boat race, was asked by a Post- Dispatch reporter if he had read the statement made by Mr. J. A. St. John some days since about the race. “Yes, Ihave read it, and I think it exceedingly rich. Mr. St. John says he don’t understand why I gave such a decision, in the face of the fact that it is but a few days since I explained the whole case to him.” “What was your explanation?” “A few days before the race occurred I learned that a business man who is not in the habit of betting any money had placed $1,750 on Gaudaur at Roche's, and thata young man employed in a dry goods ng ee had agate —~ —— Then a a in the Post- saying chat Sauleon. eemer's backer, had bet $2.500 on his man with Baldwin & Teutenbe I inves- tigated the $2,500 story, and found out from Saul- son himself that no such bet had been made. I then told Eph Morris, Sam Baldwin and Dick Roche that I did not like the betting. Neither Baldwin nor Morris made any reply. Roche said he had refused to take any more money in large amounts on Gau- daur, but was making a book, and was so situated that he could lose but little in any event. The night before the race. and the morning of the day it took place, 1 was on several occasions quietly advised that the race was FIXED FOR GAUDAUR TO WIN. “after Teemer had come in water-logged I eon- chided to withhold my decision for a few hours and investigate the circumstances ve mat eng the race, particularly the betting. Shortly after returned to the city the gentleman who placed the $1,750 on Gaudaur sent word to me that he had no interest in the money, and that he had simply han- died it as an accommodation for ldwin & Teutevberg. I then sought out Teutenberg and told him that I wanted to know who he p that money for. If he could satisfy me that it was prop- eriy invested 1 wou!d decide accordingly, but if he could not I would not permit anybody to win or lose a dollar on the race. He refused to tell me on the ground that he had to protect his customers, and all that [had aright to know was Baldwin & Co. had bet that money. I left him at the corner of Broadway and Pine street and started to walk to the Southern Hotel. Before I got half way to the Southern I met a gentleman who asked me if he would tell me something that would assist me, if I would promise not to use his pame unless Ibadto. I assured him that I would not use his name unless compelled, and he then furnished me convincing proof that every dollar of the $2,350 bet by Baldwin & Teutenberg belonged to Sauison and that Saulson ard Morris had agreed with Baldwin & Teutenberg that Teemer shouid lose and they would pay a commission of 5 per cent on all money that could be placed on Gaudaur. At the Southern Hotel I met another party who corroborated the story of this agreement. The only question that I then had to consider was whether to declare the race off and let the bets and pools naturally follow the stakes or give the race to Gaudaur asa unishment to the Teemer rty, and deciare off ts and pools. I finally determined to give the race toGaudaur and declare off outside money. Since rendering that decision Ihave secured over- whelming proof of the justice of the decision. Teemer’s managers do not deny THE AGREEMENT TO LOSE but say that Teemer was not a party to it. and the jutention wasto ‘double cross’ Baldwin & Teuten- berg. Iam willing to give Teemerthe benefit of this statement, but stillI do not see how, with the information I possessed, I could bave allowed any- body to win or lose on the affair. If I had declared the race off there would have been nothing to barp onin the decision, which Mr. St. John should be the last man in the world to complain of.” “But Mr. St. John says Saulson’s betting on Gau- daur was no secret?” “Util I brought that transaction to the surface it pWas uot known to any one outside of those directly interested anda favored few to whom the secre! had been communicated. Mr. St. John’s assump- tion that Saulson was ‘hedging’ is the height of absurdity. He stood to lose $200 in case Teemer was beaten, and bet $2,350 to ‘hedge.”. Mr. St. John says Sauison told him that he had bet $1,500 in the East on Teemer. Allow that statement to be true, and add the $1,500 and $200 together and he still st to win on Gaudaur $650, less his commis- sions, That may be hedging, but I don't under- stand it that way. Had Saulson’s investments on Gaudaur been no secret nobody would have experi- enced any annoyance over my decision, for I would not have acted as referee. WhatI have said I am yg eee to prove, and if Mr. St. Johnor Baldwin & Teutenberg think differently and are willing to attest their sincerity by backing their opinions, I am authorized to bet them from $500 to $10,000 that they are mistaken. Reports have been circulated that I decided bets off to protect Dick Roche. From the start of the race until the next day I did not speak to Roche. When | met him the following day 1 told him thatI thought the scheme was arranged to fleece him, for Baldwin & Teutenberg were given a ‘sure thing’ on Gaudaur. His answer was: ‘I know every man that hada5-cent piece in it. If you knew what | know you would laugh.’” “What do you think about Tecmer’s statement, that there was no money on the race?” “I don't believe it. The circumstances of the first contest are very strongly opposed to it. These men rowed on a stormy day when there was no gate- money in sight, and the struggle for the last three- quarters of a mile was the most desperate ever seen on any water.” Must sell the goods at original cost, not con- sidered bargains, for everybody at Hess & CULBERTSON'S, 22 N.

SHELBYVILLE, Inp., December 8.—It will be ro- membered that a year ago the 10th of last Septem- ber a house of prostitution, presided over by a woman calling herself Kittie Wells was destroyed by fire, and two of its inmates, Flora Garrett and Maggie Wells, were burned todeath. Strong sus- picions of foul play were entertained at the time, but uothing could be found to substantiate this theory. Some time after the affair had become quiet, Nelson Purdham, Kittie’s lover, was forced to marry &@ young girl here, and Kittie was thrown Into a frenzy of despair and hatred. Afew days ago Purdham's wife had her arrested, fearing vio- lence at her bands. ‘While in jail Kittie intimated that she could tell all about the supposed crime if she wished to, and that proof would be found in an old vault on the premises. This vault was searched yesterday, and an empty oil can found, which was identified by Mrs. Henry, owner of the burned building, as being stored inaroom adjoining that occupied by the unfortunate girls. This room could only be entered by a door oper'ng from the vt room. Consequently these women must have been murdered, the door broken open and this can of oil to the house. It was reported last night that Kittie had further indicated that the girls were first killed and their heads thrown into the vault. A preliminary search would seem to prove this idea correct, as blood- stains appear on the walis of the vault. A critical examination of these stains and a thorough search of the premises will be made to-morrow. It is be- lieved that Kittie will make a full statement of the horrible butchery and give the names of all impli- cated parties. . Hess & Culbertson, At 22 N. Fourth.

Lrrrizy Rock, Arx., December 8—Five or six young men infringed on the .James-boy patent on Saturday night, and perpetrated a train robbery with as much coolness and bravadoas ever char- acterized the inventors of that crime. About 10:30 o'clock p. m. a passenger train on the Little Rock, Mississippi River and Texas Railway was approach- ing Little Rock, having on board between seventy- five and one hundred passengers. When about three ‘miles from town the engineer was amazed to see histrain turn into a switch where the train seldom, if ever, makes a halt. He, of course, immediately shot off steam, and ped the train to avoid an accident by running off the switch at the other end. As the train was slowing up five or six men ap from places in hiding, and while one of them, with a revolver in hand, took charge of the engineer, the others scattered them- selves through the train. A large number of shots were fired, and the robbery was systematically en- tered upon. /The leader of the gang, who was a tall, slender young man, was very loquacious, and wien ordering the passengers to hold up their hands to be robbed, remarked, that they would now have “a chance to contribute to the missionaries,” that: he was a _ cousin of Jesse James, ete etc. In a very few seconds the conductor and brakemen were under guard and the plunder was very easily effected. One man at the door of a car with drawn revolver, all of the pas- sengersin their seats with both hands up above their heads, and a deft-fingered man _ to go through the car witha bac into which he dumped money and watches and jeweiry—this was all there was of it. Each car was thus imvaded without resistance. The men ail wore white. masks, with a hole cut in the middle, through ‘which the eyes and nose of each could be dimly seen. The Express messenger, J. B. Honeycutt. realized what was about to kappen as soon as he heard the first shots, and, jumpiug out of the car in the confusion, he made for the woods. He did not go back to the train, but burried into Little Rock afoot. As hehad with him the key to his safe, which contained a large sun of money, the robbers were driven to the necessity of breaking fhe safe to get the money, and this they VAINLY TRIED todo. The mail clerk, Stevens, took his registered letters and hid himself under some mail sacks, where he remained undiscovered. The robbers secured about $6,000 of value, and then telling the passengers and train meén to remain still for ten minutes or take the consequences, they moved off. Soon afterward the train resumed its course, and the passengers reached their destina- tion well satisfied that nobody was killed. As soon as possible after the news was circulated, Sheriff Worthen, with a large posse and several biood- hounds borrowed trom the Penitentiary, started in ursuit. The party were out all night, andthe ounds struck the trail Itled them by a wide de- tour around the city, but finaily turned into one of the thoroughfares, and was lost. About nine o'clock yesterday morning, however, J.M.Lindley,who keeps the Gilmore House, notified the authorities of what appears to be a well-grounded suspicion. He said that Joseph Cook, a mattress maker; Charles Campbell,employe in Neimeyer & Hefer'’s stove factory, which is close to the freizht depot of the road that was robbed, and Jack Clifford, whois in the employ of said road as tender of the switch where the robbery occurred, were a!l boarders at his house. Campbell, he said, had been missing for three weeks, but came back yesterday, and during his absence the other to have talked together with great show of secrecy every day,and have gone off together every evening. He thought that anoth- er boarder named Jones had some relationship with them also. The four men were arrested, but Jones will doubt- less be released, as it is quite clear he was not in the b. Cook, however, has been identified positively y several of the passengers who were robbed as the leader of the gang, more of them identifying him by his voce than oy hisface. He is only 21 years old and seems much worried by his arrest, al- though his wife,a mere girl, says he was at home with her when the robbery occurred, Adolph Parker,a young man of bad nabits but good family, is also under arrest. andis strongly suspected be- cause of his association with Cook, who works for his (Parker's) father. His errest was caused by one of the passengers of the robbed train, who met bim on the street and pointed him out to the police as one of the robbers. Concerning Clifford and Campbe!!,Mr.Lindley says they left his hotel Saturday night shortly after dusk, and did not come home till about 1 o’clock in the morning. Then they went to their room, but soon came down again and went into the wagon i. where they stayed about half an hour. This strange action at such a strange hour first set Lindiey to thinking about it. It looks as though some of the right men were in custody.

Prices Down, but Thousands of Men Out of Work, PHILADELPHIA, December 8.—The Record says: A reduction in the price of anthracite coal varying from twenty-five to forty cents a ton is anticipated by. the coal companies within two months. The officers of these corporations say that this great saving to consumers, amounting in the aggregate to $8.500,000 a year, is to be brought about by an abandonment of the present system of suspensions of one week in every four, and by 4 return to the quota plan, which means that the coal companies will apportion among themselves the percentage of market demand each can supply. All the com- panies, with one exception, agree that this is the preferable method. No difficulties stand in the way of an immediate adoption of the quota plan. The first isa matter of detail and relates to the adjusiment of the details of percentages among the coal producers. The sec- ond more important obstacles come from the Read- ing Railroad Receivers, who say they do not intend to enter into any combination, but propose to mine coal on business principles, closing those collieries which are expensive to work, and increasing the output of those openings which are cheaply mined. The Reading receivers say they cannot enter a com- bination because they believe such action is illegal. The officers of the other coal companies scoff at the returning virtue of the Reading management, and say its refusal to enter the combination is of a bluff game by which it expects to o an in- creased percentage in the apportionment. One re- sult of a return to the quota plan will be the dis- charge of 18,383 men who are now employed about the mines, forming one-fifth of the number of men and boys (91,917) working in the te coal Pants Almost Given Away. 500 pairs men's union cassimore pants, sold else- where at $2 50, will go for 7c at the Giont, 714 and 716 Franklin avenue.

IT 1S FINISHED. The Last Stone Laid on the Washington Monument. Wasuincton, December 8.—The capstone of the Washington monument was laid Saturday after- noon with considerable ceremony,despite the heavy rain that was failing, and wrapped the white shaft in a marble of mist. The crowdon the bal- cony of the monument was very great but a number ventured up still higher by means of spliced ladders on the outside.

Slattery and others against the St. Louis and New Orleans Transportation Com- pany and the St. Louis and Mississippi Valley Trans- portation Company and others, Judge Thayer this morning delivered ap Opinion, in which he sustained the demurrers to the petition.
