Sample Card and Price- Mistake Which Brings Sympathetic Attention to the Poor Unknown— The Dead Girl Not Identified—A Case Puzzling Theatrical Circles in New Tork. By Telegramh to the Post-Dispaton. : New Yorn, May 23.—A fair, slight girl, with au- burn hair that hung in curls on her forehead, en- gaged lodging a few weeks ago at the old-fashioned brick house at 42 Clinton Place, where she had lodged before. She was an actress and was known the landlady as Miss Maude Stewart. Miss Stewart was in the last stages of consumption. She seemed to have no friends, and Dr. Thomas Wildes was called in and attended her as a charity patient. Last Monday morning Uncle Ben Baker, assist- ant secfetary of the Aciors’ Fund, got a note from Harry Miner, saying that an actress named Stuart— so Mr. Miner spelled the name—was dying in the lodging house, Mr. Baker found her in a small bed-room on the top floor. The poor girl was with- out food and almost starving. A servant of the lodgings told Mr. Baker that she had occasionally taken Stewart surreptitiously, and that the only nourishment she had had for days. She had soid all of her jewelry and some of her cloth - An ambulance took her to St. Vincent's Hospital. Mr. Baker visited her and tried again to learn her history or the names of persons interested in her. SHE WEARILY SHOOK HER HEAD, but finally said she would tell one of the sisters, but she died, having told nothing. Her death occurred at 11 o'clock on Thursday morning. play goers as the Blind Girl in “Young Mrs. Winthrop,” were shocked on reading in yesterday morning's per the news of the actress’ destitution and Helen Ottolengui of 243 Duffield street, Brooklyn, soubrette of the “In the Ranks“ com- pany, was one of them. Miss Ottolengui was her- self a while ago a member of the Madison Square Company, acted with Miss Stuart and was intimately acquainted with her. She went -to the u er's, saw the body, believed it was that of herfriend. She assisted in preparing it for burial. It was laid out in white, iss Otto- lengui strewed roses on the coffin, and left on it a pillow of white immorteiles. with Maude“ worked on it in pink carnations, Other actresses and act- ors called at the undertaker’s and looked at the face under the glass in the coffin. It was white, and a trifie wasted. The light auburn hair lay in little curls on the foretiead. Everybody took it for Maude Stuart's face. Later in the day Miss Ottolengui heard in the neigh- borh Union Square that Annie Russell and others had seen Miss Maude Stuart at the Lyceum Theater matinee on Toursday afternoon. telle Clayton, Ered De Belleville and Ed Marble affirmed it positively. All the actors in Union Square had been talki all the morning about ber sudden death. Quick consumption they said was what had killed her. “She was 3 SUCH A FRAIL LITTLE OREA said Olga Brandon, of Sealed Instructions,” 1 Was not surprised to hear that died suddenly. Poor girl, how sorry | am. 1 am oin down now to help about the pa nis Stuart's friends went iu numbers to ‘the St. Cloud Hotel, ‘where she lived, to inquire about the statement that she was dead. iss Otcolingui was among the number. When she learned that Miss Stuart had been at the hotel that day in good health, she returned to the under- taker’s. She cut a lock of bair from the dead actress’ head and left the flowers, and said she was glad of the circumstances that had given her the opportunity of remembering a lonely sister in her profession. The lock of hair she would keep. she said, and roaybe the ris friends might identify her by it. ‘ne undertaker, at the Post-DispaTcn correspond- ent's suggestion, made a correction of the name of Stuart to Stewart. The certificate of death from the hospital gives Miss Stewart's birthplace as En- gland, her age 24 years, and her father and mother unknown. niess the body is claimed by friends, it will be buried at 10 o’clocx by the Actors’ Fund in the Cemetery of the Evergreeus. The dead actress bore a remarkable resemblance to Miss Stuart. Ben Baker says they might have been twins 80 far looks went. He set out yesterday with Frazer of “Humpty Dumpty” to — who Miss Stewart was. They were told at 42 Clinton place that she nad first come there as long as two years ago, but that she had never remained more tnan a few wezks. Nobody in the house knew what her connection with tue stage had been, beyond that she was an actress. A maid at the lodgings said that she had lent Miss Stuart $5 50, and that the landlady had given her $2 25. There were some family photographs in frames in the bureau, a few dresses—some that looked as if they might have been WORN UPON THE STAGE. « “Maule lay play books of The y of Hunchback,” “Under the Gaslight” and “Betsy Baker.

McDonald Makes a Spectacle of Himself in Washington. * How an Assistant Circuit Attorney Pays Hés Respects to Attorney-Gen- eral Garland—The Local Develop- mentsin the Maxwell Case—What Messrs. Blair and Clovér Have to Say. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wisumeron, D. C., May 23.—Marshall McDonald of Missouri, arrived last night and was more surprised than delighted at the completeness of the arrangements for his reception. A number of room, What incensed him most was the discovery that the De- partment of State has been 80 presumptuous as to bold a different view from him as tothe number of agents the Government has a right to send after a fugitive from justice. When informed that Attorney General Garland had encouraged the State Department by declar ing that the President in this matter was not bound by the opinion of the Assistant Cir- cuit Attorney of St. Louis, he exclaimed, Attor - ney-General Garland! Who in hell and damna- tion is he? A damn backwoods lawyer from Ar- kansas. What does he know about extradition?” The reporters felt it very erobarrassing to hear the Attorney-General thus condemned, but made a note of it, nevertheless. BRAIN FROM ST. LOUIS. Then Mr. McDonald entered upou a lecture as to the law of extradition in the course of which it was demonstrated that the only real legal information in Washington City on the subject of extradition had arrived from St. Louis last night. Mr. John McDonald conceded that Mr. Brown, the chief clerk in the Department of State, who had attended to extra- dition matters for seventeen years, might know something in general on the subject, but still he was not to be relied upon when a question of law arose. The correspondents kept asking Mr. McDonald, who interested them ve much, a whole lot of questions, some of whic were quite absurd, and others of which were in a measure exasperating, although probably not intended to be so. MR. M’DONALD’S IDEE. They learned from him that when a question of extradition arises in St. Louis the Governor of the State assumes a secondary position to the Circuit Attorney and his assistant. hey learned that the Governor is bound by law to appoint or as agent only tuch person as the Circuit Attorney may name. They learned that the Governor had no right what- ever to so mea into the sufficiency of the requisition pers before signing, but that in the Maxwell case Mr. McDonald spent two days in Jefferson City exploring the sufficiency of the documents merely because Governor Marmaduke manifested a desire to know what they contained, a desire, however, which Governor Marmaduke had no lega right to entertain. They learned that it was alto- — a false impression that Mr. McDonald had esired to go after Maxwell in an official and that as a matter of fact he at to him e that the merchants on Change, of their own motion, and without any encourage- ment or assent on his part, got together and — * 2 the appolntment of a committee to a and that THEY THEN BE SOUGHT MR. M*DONALD for their sakes and the sake of the city to accept this fund and go to New Zealand > p the United States authorities attend to their ness in a proper way. ey learned — any man who said that Mr. McDonald as applied for or desired an appointment was a liar. They learned that if Mr. Blair or Major Harrigan or any newspaper reporter rep- reesoted at the Circu Attorney had exp an intention of prevent- fag the second agent from wey were all, singularly and teverally, da Mars. They learned that there were a whole hat- full of Hars about the Four Courts in 8t.

When this case with thanks. I took of the wood cuts my paid for part of the course no one will re was needed and I matter was to be treated with COMMON COURTESY. The Police Board has no standing in the case whatever, yet I wanted to co-operate with them. When the matter took its present shape I told Mr. Blair that I would turn the papers over to him, and he could perfect them at his own risk. This he would not do, I then told him—I did more than teil him. I pledged him my word of honor that if he would let McDonald alone, let him go to Washington and perfect the papers without annoyance, I would see that everything was ami- cably arranged. Mr. Blair, however, evidently believes that I am trying to euchre him in some way. I suppose he thinks that if MebDona d gets the papers into his pos session. he will go direct to New Zealand by way of Chicago.” “Has Mr. McDonald nothing to do here in the several months that his voyage would take him way!?“ “There is very little for him to do. Nothing that I can not attend to for him.“ “The Grand Jury meets in July. Should he not resent at that time! “Tt is the custom to call the Grand Jury and then dismiss it until September.” ; “The law prescribes as 5 of his duties that he shall sue on forfeited bonds and recognizances. Is there none of that to be done? That I do anyhow.” „How about the September Grand Jury?” “He will be back by that time.” „But supposing that he is delayed?” “In that case I will undertake to do his work for him. His absence is a matter within my discretion wholly, and l have told him that he may go, if the arrangements can be made. I believe that it is in the interest of jus- tice that he should go.” “His salary will go on just the same?” “Of course it will.“ “If he goes he will have no official standing, will he? He does not represent anybody in interest; of what service can he be? How can he get a hear- ing before the New Zealand court?” “He will appear as a legal expert, competent to testify as to American procedure. He will be a witness who can give just the sort of evidence that will be needed. JUDGE VAN WAGONER’S OPINION. Leaving Mr. Clover the reporter found Judge Van Wagoner, who was questioned concerning the work of the July Grand Jury. I dismissed the last July Grand Jury to September,” said the Judge. “The one before had worked along into June; the weath- er was very oppressive, and the public business in such condition that it could not suffer.

Nothing Accomplished by the Hand Miners’ Pool at To-Day's Meeting. The details of the meeting of the hand coal miners on Monday last, as published in the Post- Dispatos, included the formation by those gentle- men of the St. Louis Coal Association, which was to meet tor the firss time at 11 o’clock to-day at the office of J. S. Whitehead, the coal pool agent, on Fourth and Chestnut streets. The differences between the hand miners and the machine miners of coal are no nearer adjust ment now that the meeting is over than they were before it was begun. The hand miners have formed a pool for the pur- pose of setting and maintaining a price on coal. The machine miners up to the present time have declined to come into this pool, but it was ex- pected that to-day’s gathering would remove ail the obstacles and that the St. Louis Coal As- sociation would be launched with all the honors. The meets, was called for 11 o'clock, and at that hour Mr. Whitehead's office was crowded with both hand aud machine operators. Fully an hour was spent in a _ strenuous but unsuccessful effort, by the hand-operators to induce the machiue men to sign the pool pledge, and to abide by the action of the association. Finally, Mr. Freudenlan ra ped the members to order. and stated that unless it was otherwis¢ ordered. all persons who had not signed the paper committing them to the association. were reques to withdraw. The machine operators accordingly filed out into the hall. . Reports were called for from the different com- mittees appointed to interview the operators on the different roads, and fix upon the quotas of coal to be furnished, but were not presented, and a week's further time was given for the work. A resolution was adopted deciaring that until such time as the opertors now out should agree to come into the coal associa- tion no price could be fixed. A motion made by Mr. I. D. Crabb that the Association adjourn sine die was voted dowa in some confusion, and the assotiation adjourned to meet next Saturday at the same place. FINE RASCALS. - A Peculiar Gambling Suit Before 6 Chi- cago Justice. Cx1caGo, May 23.—Charles H. Brown was given a judgment for $25 to-day before Justice Hammer against John H. Redheffer, a lawyer, and George Ryall, agent of the American Protective Associa- tion, both of whom are recently from Phil- adelphia, and C. A. Cook of this city. Brown declares that on May 11 Cook introduced bim to the other two defendants who expiained that they would advance him $100, which he was to lose in a gambling ‘room kept by Martin and Skagel, who are operating what is known as an automatic grain register.” Havin lost the money, the defendants in this suit woul sue to recover, andthe plan was, to squeeze“ Martin & Skagel, willingly pay 85.000 to $10,000 be prosecuted. It was claimed that a similar game had been played in St. Louis, Afier keeping him idle for four or five days and not giving him the $100 Brown says he grew discouraged and began the present suit to secure the payment of wages. The defendants denied in a general way the state- ments made by Brown, but the Justice, after hear- ing the testimony, allowed the claim. It was de- dareh int eee & Skagel were taking in $800 a ay. — WEED THEM OUT. Leaders of State Associations to be Re- a moved From Office. By Telegranh te the Post-Dispateh. | WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28.—A concerted effort is being made to ascertain the names of the leaders of the State associations organized here during Republican ascendancy for the campaign work,and wherever found they will be summarily dismissed. Offensive partizanship in its most violent form lurks in these associations, and during the last campaign twenty-three State Republican orgainiza- tions were in full blast in this city.¢A prominent member of the Administration said to-day that the Republicans were as much in control of affairs at Washington as ever, and something must be done at once to get rid of this incubus around Democratic necks. It is that eediug out process will n the first of the month, the most blatant politicians will be the first to go.

Loxpox, May 28.—My belief of yesterday is only too well confirmed: Almost without warning, En- gland is landed in the midst of an acute political crisis, the result of which nobody can foresee. One can hardly even exaggerate the possible conse- quences, For the following facts I can vouch, al- though every man here has his own opinion and interpretation. Chamberlain and Dilke positively said inthe Cabinet that they would, resign rather than support any further measure of coercion for by the other Ministers to agree to a re- newal, in a very mid form, of the crimes act. In their opinion & measure of local self government should precede any land purchase scheme, and Gladstone's statement on Tuesday that the government would introduce one later this session, was in advance of the decision of the Cabinet to thateffect. In fact, I am creditably assured that Dilke wasin the tea room at the time Gladstone's statement was made, when a Conserva- tive member entered and said: “So we are to have a land purchase bill after all?“ “No, we are not.“ replied Dilke. “But Gladstone has just announced it in the House, retorted the other. Whereupon Duke hastily left the room with a forcible expression of surprise. The breach was thus opened wider than ever. The land purchase bill is far more one to enable the landlords to sell, than to enable the tenants to buy. So, naturaliy, Chamberlain Woes not care about it. After the Cabinet meeting yesterday Chamberiain entered the lobby and passed a slip of paper to Morley, who went into the House, Subse- quently he announced his intention to oppose the renewal of the crimes act. This confirms the truth of the statement made yesterday of Chamberlain getiing the pressure applied to the Government from the outside. om THE CABINET SITUATION now means either the renewal of the truncated crimes act for one year only, or eise Chamberlain and Dilke will resign, and, probably. also Shaw Lefevre, the Postmaster General. So much for the facts, What, now, is the interpretation of all this? The first answer that naturally occurs is that Chamberlain, for he leads and Dilke follows, cannot conscientiously support what he thinks an unjust measure, and that he would rather risk any consequence. But his opponents retort that he has frequently spoken and voted in favor of coercion, and that it is now too late in the. day to change his mind; that he owes everything to Gladstone, and is selfish to kick over the latter now when hig health is breaking at the end of his career; that he is playing The answer to this is that Chamberlain voted for exceptional coercion legislation, when exceptional grime rendered it mecessary, and that this is no jonger the case; that he represents the radical reform élement in English politics, and that Glad- stone may now be fafrly considered an obstruction- ist to these views; that he proposes to fight in the coming general election entirely on home questions, knowing that the masses of electors care nothing for Penj-deh or Paraparismus; that if he is playing entirely for own hand, it will be time to blame these electioneering tactics entirely for his own hand. him, when we are shown any English politician, who is not do- ing so too: and, morsover, that although a renewal of the Crimes Act for 4 year will force the Parliament to deal with the whole Irish question again at once, it will perhaps postpone much needed legislation upon the County government and London municipal reform. This is only just, because the Parliament was ELECTED UPON A LIMITED FRANCHISE, and had no right to dictate laws on such a subject to one for the first time fairly represeating the peo- ple. My own belief is the crisis will be averted by a limited renewal of the Crimes Act in the mild- est form, each side yielding a little to make 4 compromise. The ‘Session will be pro. longed till August by the bitter Irish opposition, expressed in every possible rhanner. In view of these exciting home questions foreign complications drop out of sight, bnt there is vo doubt the situation here is also much more serious than England has seen in many years. It is sug. gested with much reason that Russia will postpone the closing of the negotiations a8 long as possible, because she will then be compelled to turn her at tention to home reforms, which are now thrown in the background by the oxcitement of a possible conflict, But, in effect, if not in name, there is a European concert against Engiand. A war with Russia would be Bismarck's opportunity. In view of these facts, the fiery talk and declama- tion of Salisbury and Churchill is drivel, if not a crime. All honor and support are due to the Minis- ters who have stood out for peace. Almost ths first gain of the coming election campaign is the choice of Bradlaugh for a London district if he fails n Northampton. ; A half million pounds has al- ready been expend} ed by the Government, and 1,200 new operators and ,000 messengers added to the Post Office, in view of the coming reduction of the telegraph rate to sixpence . A GREAT SCANDAL SUPPRESSED. A woman named Jeffries, recently convicted and fined for keeping disorderly houses, mentioned the King of the Belgians during the trial. Since the Home Secretary refuses to make an inquiry, the Pall Mall Gazette says that it has the names of all concerned, and threatens to make them public. It says the light séntence was the price paid to the woman for ber silence. This bold move has re- ceived much approval. Rossberry’s visit to Berlin, and Churchill's to Paris is keeping quid nuncs busy. M. D. Conway sailed for New York in the Etruria to-day. N DARWIN'S STATUE.

The Steamer Encounters Several Large Icebergs un Her Last Trip. New Yorx, May 28.—The steamship City of Ber- lin, on the 9th inst., at 3:85 @. m., latitude 48° . longitude 49° 80’, struck an iceberg—stern on—in a dense fog. The engines were golng very slowly at the time. Her bowsprit and figurehead were carried away, but no damage was done below the main deck line. At 4:15 she proceeded quite slowly. At 6:24 a. m. she passed another iceberg, and still an- other at 8:50. The City of Berlin brings 143 cabin and 1,139 steerage passengers. A PASSENGER'S ACCOUNT. Mr. James O Rourke. one of the cabin passengers on the steamer City of Berlin, makes the following report; The City of Berlin sailed from Liverpool for New York on May 12. All went well, the weather being very fine and thé sea smooth, until approaching the banks of Newfoundland, when a thick fog set in at 8 p. m. Monday, the 18th instant, which continued until 10 p. m. of the 20th, when it cleared off. The ship was run at about half speed during the fog, and the steam whistle kept blowing at intervals of about five minutes. On Tuesday morn- ing, at about 3:25, the ship came in collision with an immefése iceberz, which carried away the jibboom, bowsprit, tigurehead and all gear attached, stove in the bow, breaking the iron plates ,deck planking, iron railroads, etc. Many tons of ice fall upon the torecastle deck, breaking it through and going down into the hold. Two men on the lookout had a very narrow es- cape with their lives, the fog being sothick at the time that they coula not see the iveberg until it came tumbling ou the forward deck, where they were standing, which caused them to run for their lives. At the time of the shock Chief Officer Tarleton and Second Officer Barker were on duty on the bridge,and with great promptness Mr. Barker rusbed to the bow of the ship to ascertain whether the ship was cut through below the water line, at the. same time giving orders to CUT AWAY THE LASHINGS of the life rafts and boats, and to prepare them for lowering in case the ship should sink. Two of the boats were swung out bound the others were being put in readiness, until it was discovered * ship was not maki water when the ord were countermanded, The con- sternation on board at the time among the passen- gers as they were asleep in their ber:hs can better be imagined than described. They ran helter skelter to and fro, screaming and praying, not knowing but they would go down with the ship in a few moments. THE NORTHWEST WAR. Riel’s American Citizenship Will Not Pre- vent His Punishment. WNNIP RO, Max., May 23.—Attorney General Hamilton interviewed as to how Riel's alleged Amer- ican Citizenship would affect the latters trial and pugishment, says: Reil can be tried by a military court martial just the same as if he were a British subject. No right of citizenship gives protection in case of such effense. Reil could also be tried in the civil courts and condemned. and in either case the sentence could be executed with perfect safety even if he were an American citizen. He forfeits all protection by violating the lawof the country in which thé act is commmitted. A military court martial is lixely to be adapted in Reil's case and doubtlessin any event, the seatence will be executed.” JEFFERSON JOTTINGS.

It is important to litigants to have a com- petent and attentive clerk, The appointing power, whether vested in the President or the Judges of the Supreme Court, is a public trust, and not a personal perquisite. Applicants who have rendered faithful and important public service, whose personal character is above reproach, and whose qualifications and capacity are unquestioned, are the first to be considered, Personal associations or friend- ship come in only when all other things are equal, Thereisno disposition by any one to criticise the judgeship, and all will hope they will exercise the power reposed in them with sound discretion, and so as to fill the office to the entire satisfaction of the court and the pub- Nosopy ever heard of any rupture between Mr. RANDALL and his party on the tariff ques- tion, nor of any fundamental difference be- tween him and Mr. CARLISLI on that question, till the Speakership contest inspired the Ran- dall men to dub CARLISLE a Free Trader and the Carlisle men to dub RANDALL a Protec- tionist. In defining their own views they have always taken substantially the same position, Mr. RANDALL proclaiming himself a tariff re- former and Mr, CARLISLE denying that he is for Free Trade. Both approved and still ad- here to the Chicago platform, which favors tariff reform and tariff reduction, with such incidental protection as a conservative dis- crimination may justify. There are more radical differences between leading Repub- licans than between the Randall and the Car- lisle elements in the Democratic party on this tariff question. The Republicans have never split on it and have no idea of doing so. The Democrats who so carefully nurse the germseofa tariff fight within the lines of their own party are helping neither the party nor the cause of tariff reform. — ———— = Iy tHe thousands of vacant houses now labeled For Rent” are not to be adbepted as proofs that this city is dwindling away and that population is leaving her, there must be a reduction of rents. People well acquainted | with St. Louis know that the building going on in newer portions of the city fully accounts for the vacation of a great number of houses further down town where rents are higher. The attempt to keep up these rents is scattering the people, driving them out where the incon- venience of living farther from their business is compensated by newer, cleaner and roomier premises and comparatively lower rents. By | refusing lower rents in the old rows, grasping landlords are depopulating and injuring the parts et the city in which their property is lo- cated, forcing a on of the value of their own property and hurting the city, in a vain attempt to hold up rents when all other items iin the cost of living have gone down with wages and profits. They arestubbornly sinking money in maintaining e short-sighted policy, and the sooner they meet the competition that is emptying their houses, the better for them and for the city. . 5 ELE A SILLY and unsuccessful attempt has been made te apply the new law against importing contract labor to a German band which came over under contract to give certain musical en- tertainm ents in this country.

Drrvixe in St. Louis is done under a cloud. To speak more advisedly, in a cloud, The cloud be- gins with Page avenue, and in fact with most of the suburban roads, and clings to them, envelopes them and tits on them like a night-mare. Any one who ever hag occasion to pass over one of them knows that a cloud of dust is referred to. One has two alternatives: to drive in the rain or to drive in the dust. There is very little choice between them. To THrow dust fh one's face is not a mere figure of speech on Page avenue. It means something. It meang that if you cannot lead the procession you are in danger of strangulation, of breathing in and swallowing pecks of fine dust, thoroughly pul- - verized and of the best quality. There is no pleas- ure in a drive and a team isa kind of dead loss on one. I took a whirl the other day with an old driver, and be almost shed tears, whether from mental or physical anguish I cannot tell. “The finest drive in the eountry,” said he, and yet near- ly useless... The dust was four inches deep snd the air was full of it. Ir would be an interesting calculation to check off the number of vehicles which pass over the road on a fine day, and estimate how much the expense divided up pro rata would amount to for each per- son. The Gentlemen's Drfving Club has taken the matter in hand, and it has been estimated that the cost of keeping the avenue well sprinkled, can be brought within the sum of $20 per day. Taking ninety days as a fair estimate of the number on which the avenue will need sprinkling within the next four months, only $1,800 will be required, and this much ought to be raised in a jiffy. A contribu- tion of five cents for every man who takes a drive on fine afternoons would pay for the luxury of 2 well sprinkled road. Fifty cents a drive would he a light tax for thie result, The Driving Club gave a matinee for the object, which ought to have raised the full amount, but, as is usually the case, while afew men were liberal, many would do nothing, and they are the greatest grumblers. It would be a mere matter of business for the livery men to pay for it. Speaking of benefits, there is one feature of them that Ido not understand, That, is why every Tom, Dick and Harry—which is meant to include women as well as men—of the dramatie profession, as soon as the season is nearly or quite over, should be entitled to a benefit. I can understand why charita- ble objects should have them, because they must be supported in some way, and this is as easy as any. Loan even understand why employes of the theaters should take them. It is a matter of business, bad as the principle is, and their salaries depend on them. Their friends pay for what the theater should pay. I can also understand why a benefit should be tendered one once in a long while as a compliment or as a help in special disaster. But why it should be claimed as a privilexe of all I cannot understand. On the last principle I mentioned the profession must be subject to annual disaster. I have seen doctors nearly atarve and no benefits were offered them. I have seen lawyers briefiess and seedy left to fight it out alone, and I have seen business men go down under financial wreck and the public not asked for a cent. But your actor or actress and your people gener- ally whose businesss it is to amuse must be tenderly lifted out of the ditches. It is a species of ill- disguised mendicancy that is degrading to the profession. THERE have been plenty of them this year, and there seems to be plenty more to follow. The evil has grown 80 great that there is a kind of rebellion against itand the good fall under the same ban as it a rule not to purchase benefit tickets, I have heard several benefit managers complain that every ticket put out for sale or sent out to expected pur chasers has been returned or neglected. Even the derelict. While this is a most pitiful state of affairs, there will be few tears shed on its account. Tues is a term much in vogue in some quarters which I take it is almost meaningless in ita true sense, but which has taken on an artificial signif cance. It is much abused and ill-used. It is the term “society” as applied to men and women, or a collection of them, indicating that they are mem- bers of upper-tendom. Of course every one knows what it means. , At the bare mention of the words, society young lady, a vision of loveliness, spright- liness, silks, satins and laces rises before one, not to speak of diamonds and all of the other attributes of & butterfly of fashion. Society man, society girl, society people—what unattainable heights rise in the minds of the person who usesthe word with proper unetion, as this only oceurs when the person feels that he or she is not, in the strict sense of the term, a society person. It has indefinite range. Every victim of 4 scandal is asociety person, and to make the term at all distinctive it must be re- stricted to the ball and party, useless and frivolous individuals. It is not complimentary and is meaning less. Every one ts, in a certain sense, in society. Its “Have you ¢ No, was the reply, “and I don't intend to." “Why nor’ „Because her father don't keep @ carriage.” “What difference does that make?" “Oh well, I have guch @ lange circle of aequaint- ances that I cannot attend to all of them, 0 1 have E 8 a 5 f 3 EES EI 8 7 N aw > P ee tan cents 5 1 FF * ö a 8 3 the unworthy objects. Men are beginning to make “friends” whe always appear in the call have been. lapse of time. Nobody knows, outside of the two ents, either the Russian or the English ultimatum; what Russia insists upon having, or England insists upon holding. It is plain, however, that the prospects for poace are not naar 80 en- ent British Government; and it is evident to all the world that Gladstone not only does, not want to fight, but will yield everything popular sentiment permits him to yield te avoid fighting. Russia, to use the common phrase, “is banking” on the Pre- mier's anxiety to escape the final issue; is pressing and pusbing England in this matter, because En- gland's representative shows a willingness to fall back still further with each new pressure and pusb. The most ardent admirers of Gladstone, and those Who liked Beaconsfield the least, must admit that if the latter were Prime Minister instead of the for- mer, the situation would be entirely changed; that Russia, aod not England, would be the aggressive party, and that Russia, not England, would be pleading for peace at almostany price. There isno doubt that the people, irrespective of politica, are becoming restive under a policy which is certainly neither bold, strong. nor wise; which, tor the sake of what is at best only a temporary truce, is humiliating England in the eyes of Europe. and lowering ber prestige everywhere. Parlia- ment, which is now the faithful echo of popular feeling, shows signs of breaking away from a leader whose honor and honesty does not compensate for his timidity in euch an emergency as this. The coalition of Radicals, Parneliites and Conservatives against the Irish Crimes Act is, we think, quite as much the result of dissatisfaction with the Govern- ment's course on the question aq with its proposed legislation for Ireland; and, from present indications, unless Gladstone and his colleagues put the Russian question in far better shape than it now is, during the Parliamentary recess, which began yesterday to continue two weeks, they will be beaten by the coalition on a test vote and make room for successors of sterner sort. Meanwhile war preparations have not been suspended in India, the Ameer is fortifying Herat with British artillery, and tbe British troops returning from Suakim have been ordered to await instructions at Alexandria. Minister Lowell has formally stepped down and out, and Minister Phelps has stepped up and in. The latter seems to have made a most favorable impression upon all with whom he has been brought in contact, and is hkely to fill the high position with credit to himself, the country whose ambassador he is, and the President who was smart enough to find such 4 man for the place in such an unpromis- ing locality as Vermont. The two alleged dynamiters, Cunningham and Burton, have been convicted and sentenced to penal servitude for life, and are now lodged in Chatham Prison. The popular temper of London is such that persons charged with this class of offenses are surer of get- ting tho butt end of the law than of having the evidence for and against them carefully and im- partially weighed by judge and jury. The Revised Bible bas been published, and is now going through the fire of criticism. While generally acceptable to the high ecclesiastical authorities and the best Biblical scholars, it is not Mkely to supplant King James’ version among the masses for a generation at least. The Beatrice-B berg annuity having been satisfactorily settled, the Queen and Royal family have retired for the season to the congenial solitudes of Balmoral. The picture-punching folks on this side of the ocean will be glad to hear that their British brothers and sisters have damaged the pictures in the Royal Acadamy to such an extent that strong railings will soon be put up to keep these vigorous connoisseurs at a safe distance. Ireland is quiet, getting ready to be otherwise case the Crimes Act becomes law. The far as England is concerned, is a corpse waiting for a coffin. The Suakim-Berber Railway, six miles long, is for sale; the thermometer at Suakim marks 110 in the shade, fever is assisting the heat, and the troops are hurrying away as fast as steam can earry them; and Lord Wolseley, covered with boils, but not with glory, is on the road to London, much in the mood of the man who went after wool and came home sborn.” This sadly dilapidated hero should now be kept ina glass chse, reserved only for such easy work asa bloodless rebellion in Canada, or the suppression of an Egyptian mob. The relations of England with Egypt are becoming so much “strained” that the Times warns the Government to keep its eyes very wide open, as all the European powers, except, per- haps, Italy, are watching for an opportunity to in- terfere and assist the natives to run the English out of the land. With the Soudan gone and Egypt “shaky,” British investments in the Valley of the Nile may be quoted “low and falling.” ‘Lhe great event of the week im France is the death of Victor Hugo, whose name and fame alone would be sufficient to preserve the memory of France from oblivion if the country were sunk to- morrow in the depths of the sea.

Austria, Russia, Spain and the rest have been too poor dur- ing the last seven days to produce a print-worthy paragraph. A Post-Dispateh Scoop. From the Spectator. It has been decided that two men should go to Auckland for Maxwell, siuce there are chances that one man, through illness or accident, might seri- ously delay the return voyage. In the appointment nearly one hundred applicants were disappointed and the Post Dispatca obtained a “scoop” on the other papers, for Frank R. O' Neil, a reporter of that paper, accompanies Detective Tracy. He is recog- nized as the leading reporter in the city, and in going to New Zealand, as the agent of the State, be has a plan in view which will prove of considerable value to hia paper, if it succeeds. This ia to obtain a confession from Maxwell, and have it in the Poer- Dispatcu before any other papers are aware of it. Such a “scoop” would be worth $5,000, and if any one can get it, O'Neil will. The State will not pay his expenses, this matter being undertaken by the Police Department, although I believe the paper really assumes them. I wonder whether the Globe- Democrat, with its enterprise, will not also send a representative. Gov. Marmaduke readily assented to the ap pointment of Mr. O'Neil, as he is personally acquainted with his qualifications. He has already notified Secretary Bayard, with the request that he issue a requisition to the Government of New Zea- land for the delivery of the murd erer. But an amusing sequel devel oped when the other papers recognized the scoo p' which the enterpris- ing Post Dispatou had obtain ed. The Globe-Demo- crat had strenuously urged the appointment of M. F. McDonald, the Prosecuting Attorney, and the latter was the one who had urged the appointment of two agents. He was dumfounded when Mr. O'Neil quietly slipped into the appointment. This is speaking of his surprise ina mild way. Being supported by the good will of the two morning papers, which were impressed with the necessity of making a final stand, he has sent a friend to Wasb- ington to prove Mr. O'Neil's disqualifications to President Cleveland. I do not know what opinion the latter has of reporters, but I am positive he will be bored by the fight which will be made at the Capital by the friends of both gentlemen. The fel- low that grumbles over spilt milk is very wearying company. Iam forced to admire the rapidity and success with which Mr. O'Neil'’s paper seized the opportunity before its rivals were aware of the Posr-Disraron's intention. As the case stands the Post-Dispatcu already bas a big “scoop.” The Antique Feminine Waist. From the Magazine of Art. I believe it is said that the corset was not un- known to Rome, but it is clear that the Greek and Roman women, asa whole, were quite convinced that the human form was itself beautiful, so that they made no attempt to disfigure it by compres- sion or addition. Young girls were dressed simply, chastely and yet elegantly in the flowing stola, slightly open at the throat and occasionally falling in two sets of folds, On the eve of marriage they were ciad in a white robe called theregilla. After that event they wore the girdle, which the Roman matrons generally placed immediately beneath the bosom. Sometimes it was a band and at other times a cord tied in a bow, over which the folds of the upper part of the dress fell gracefully. Among the Greeks, though not infrequently worn as just described, it was often placed lower down. Oc- sionally the stola was bound about the bosom by a band passing over the right shoulder and under the left breast. This gave the right arm liberty for action and it was only for this object or for speedy motion that the waist cord ever seems to have been drawn very tight. So little did the Greek and Roman women think of the waist that in great numbers of draped statues their mantles are so arranged as to hide it altogether. Gail Hamilton Scorches the Prohibitionists Gail Hamilton in North American Review. What political prohibition has thus far done may be summed up: By methods not only ant agonistic, but quarrelsome. sometimes even to the borders of scurrility, by misr epr that charity alone can attribute to misunderstanding, it has shamed its own prophecies, destroyed its own harmony, de- pleted its own ranks, vitiated its own laws, defeated the party from which all prohibitory legislation has come, enthroned the party by which all prohibitory legislation has been opposed. This it can continue to do indefinitely; but no protestation on the part of ita leaders, and no delusion on the part of its followers can alter the fact that it is working in the interests of intemperance and not in the interests of temperance. No intelligent observer can fail to recognize its character and ita tendency. A Boom for the Post-Dispatch. From the Kansas City Journal. The §t. Louis Board of Police want to send Frank R. O'Neil of the Post-Dispatom along with the State agent commissioned by Governor Mar- maduke to go to Auckland for the Southern Hotel murderer.

Leading a detachment of the Forty-fourth regiment to the support of the falter- ing column of Gen. Gibbs, his right arm was shat- tered by a ball, and his horse killed by another. Mounting the small creole pony of his aid, Capt. MoDougall, he again pushed to the front of the wa- vering line—then within an hundred yards of the American batteries. “At this moment the standard- bearer of the Ninety-third, feeling something rub- bing against his epaulette, turned, and percelyed through the smoke the small black horse which Peckenham now rode. It was led by his aid, as be seemed to have no use of his right arm. In his left hana he held his cap, which he waved in the air, crying out, ‘Hurra! brave Highlanders There was an awful crash and the ensign saw the little pony fall and its rider roll from the sad- dle into the arms of Capt. McDougall, who, strangely enough, had performed the same office for Gen. Ross, killed in the British advance on Baltimore. The second wound was from @ grapeshot laying open the thigh, and before the now disabled man could be lifted from the ground, a third shot struck him in the groin, producing immediate paralysis. He was quickly carried to the rear, and laid under a live oak, where he died ina few moments without ut- tering a word. The remains of Packenham, after the removal of the viscera, were put in acask of rum and taken to England, where they rest in St. Paul's Churchyard, London. A handsome monument iserected to his memory within the Cathedral. Gen. Gibbs was mortally wounded about the game time, and died in horrible agony next day; the command then devolving upon Maj. Gen. John Lambert, to whom the credit of a most skiliful retreat in the face of a victorious foe, is mainly, if not exclusively, due—and for which he received the honors of knighthood, The American loss was § killed and 13 wounded, not including those who fell on the west bank—a small number. The British loss, out of a total force on both sides of the river, of about 6,000 men, was, by official report, 201 killed, 1,255 wounded, 488 missing; in all, 1.929. A large proportion of the wounded died be- fore the retreat. In this connection I cannot omit AN ANECDOTE OF WELLINGTON, told to Gen. Quitman by the Earl of Ellesmere, who visited New York in 1853. The Earl knew Welling- ton intimately, and often visited him in his private room. document which gave him special pleasure, of crumpling it in his hand and waving it over his head. On 4 certain cocasion the Ear! surprised the Duke in one of these curious displays of satisfac- tion, and, inquiring, heard to his amazement that the paper which so much elated the conqueror of Napoleon was a simple note of introduction from Gen. Jackson, whom he profoundly admired.

When Walker wrote his val- uable book thirty years ago everything remained much as it was forty years before, barring the ine evitable wear and tear of time; but since then hu- man agencies have aksiated time in the work of change and destruction, so that there are now very few objectajor places connected with the hat. tles which can be satisfactorily identified. The Macarte house, where Jackson had his head- quarters, is gone, and his unfinished and unsightly monument occupies a part of its gite. The aban- doned and almost desiroyed chateau close by the track of the Shall Beach Railway ts pointed out as the headquarters of Pack- enham, but it Walker's deser iption is correct, cannot be, as he says the Villere man- sion was onestory oni, While this has two. In 1865 the city donated to the Federal Government some twelve or fifteen acres of land for a National Cemetery, now tenanted by about 13,000 Union soldiers, most of whom died in hospital. It is stiited, by good authority, that the south wall of the cemetery is built on, or very near to, the American line of f dons; but it certainly does not extend so far toward the swamp, nor does it cross the second, The broad and perf plain. ovep whieh the British advanced is He had a habit, whenever he received a | of a low tree, blew the charge long ing columns ong after the charg- had fled beyand the range of the mur- | derous volleys.

One or two other balls, it is said, have been grown over, and the protuberances made by the process are still visible. These venerable live oaks, scarred by shot and storm, are all that is left on the field of Chalmette to preserve the memory of | the unfortunate soldier who here closed a brilliant career in defeat and deatb. The cemetery, located entirely within what were the American lines, is admirably kept and much more attractive than its surroundings. To ilus- trate the density of popular ignorance in regard to the battles, the superintendent told me that mot long before a company of well-dressed visitors asked him if the men buried there were “soldiers of the Revolutionary war;“ and when set right on that point, wanted to be shown the grave of Gen. Jackson!” Is American history still taught in American schools? A. &. — * BOOKS RECEIVED. From the t. Louis Stationery and Book Co. Lanpscapsz, By Philip Gilbert Hamilton.

A Pointer on the N. O. Exposition. From the Cincinnats Enquirer. There is no more attractive spot in the Exposition, none better furnished or decorated than that of the manufacturers of the celebrated Corticelli“ and Florence“ silks, for an immense sign, over forty feet in length, is visible from every portion of the building, and attracts all to the exhibit. There one will finda most artistic and interesting display. The space assigned is one of the largest. Every thing within is of the most exquisite inaterials; the rich carpet and rugs, the cherry railing, the walnut and ebony stands, easy chairs, etc. It is one or the most sought-for places, and the assistants in charge are kept busy with the thousands of visitors. The Company was organized in 1838. The Italian na me “Corticelli* was given to the article manufact- ured, and the village where it was made was named Florence, after Florence in Italy. In 19850, when a silk thread was made that would run on sewing- machines, the business tooke sudden boom and began to thrive. From that time it has grown rapidly, until there are now eight mills, employing sixteen hundred hands., The exhibit gives the full history of silk, from the miller that lays the egg and shows in actual operation all the machinery employed in reeling, twisting and man- ufacturing silk. It is understood that the Corticelli Silk Mills have carried off the gold medal here, as it has done at some thirty other Expositions, at the Centennial, at the Louisville Southern Exposition, at Boston, St. Louis, Cincinnati, New York and Paris. Thieves and Their Plunder. Cavender & Rowse report that a directory, marked all through with their rubber stamp, was stolen yesterday from 213 N. Eighth street. Abraham Meyers, from Cincinnati, now stopping at the Union Depot Hotel, reports that $150 was stolen from him in a saloon on Sixth and Spruce streets. He had been out riding with John Burns, John Hogan and Jacob Merkel. About 2 . m. some thief reached in through an open window at 220 Moore street and pulled out William B. Wood's pantaloons. In the pockets were a oes gold watch, stem-winder, and a small sum of money, The sneak got away. Stepben Blackwell, 1808 Washington avenue, re- ports the theft of a coat, and g. Goldman, 713 Carr street, complains of losing two black beaver coats, in an unfinished condition, in the same way. Ta Centra!

Since Dr. J. C. McCoy began the praetices of his Profession in 8. Introducing the methods of 2 Hospital, of which he was for years, and illustrating by prac tioal results the power of enlightened and moderg and testimonials from those relieved and cured by him. These have been the lame, the halt, the blind, the eg geud in mahy shapes and forms, brought back to a perfect life, and anxious to testify to the skill of {he man that they believe restored them. There have been those from the outskirts of the city, some from the aristocratic West Ead, and still more from the central sections. Some weeks ago, a cotrespoadent in the Post Dispaton stated that he had failed to find the @ddress of one of the persons on the outskirts of the city testifying to her cure. That woman was Mary Burns, who had recovered her eyesight after years of blindness. The | REPORTERS TOOK UP THE Case and ound that the woman had practically beeq @riven out ot her home by the crowds who came to seo her and satisfy themselves regarding thas whieh inthe neighborhood was reputed to de al- most a miracle. in answer to the insinuations of the correspondent, who, by the way, turned out to be one of the so-called regular physicians, Mary Burns herself, who had taken rooms for the ress and retirement needed, came to the front WITH AN AFFIDAVIT recounting her seven years of blindness and the ours at the hands of Dr. McCoy, She has returned to her home on Blair avenue, where she may be seen at any time. But as the interest in Dr. McCoy's operations is every day increasing, and as many scientific and professional men as well as people themselves need- ing treatment are anxious to look into these mat- ters for themselves, it bas been thought wise to cite some cases. in the very center of the city, easily accessible to all. , Three as remarkable cases as the history of mod ern science records, are among those effected by Dr. MoCoy in the very heart of the city. They are the cases of Louis Kindermann of 1015 Thirteenth street, who was told by his doctors that he was dy- ing of heart disease, and the cases of. Mrs. Carroll of 1015 Market street, Billy Carroll's sister, and of Lizzie Westermann of 1018 Chestnut street; pro- nounced helpless and hopeless cripples. ~ zit WESTERMAN, 1013 CHESTNUT STREET.

Mayer was indicted for fraud at the May meet ing of the Grand Jury. He was arrested on Thursday and placed under $6,000 bonds, Nathan Frank going his security. There are two charges, one preferred by R. Hutchinson of the Mechanics’ Bank; and the witnesses are S. M. Lederer, New York City: E. Lichenstein & Bro., and Benj, Lich- enstein. This warrant alleges "that Mayer, on March 3 last, obtained $2,890 from the Mechanics’ Bank, unlawfully, feloniously and with intent to cheat and defraud. J. I.

It has several pretty al comic songs and an immense amount of action an stage business which is always entertaining, and then it has the sine qua non of the comic opera—giris f without petticoats. It makes no difference What the quality of the girls is, so they are real girls. In the case of the chorus atthe Standard the state of being without petth coats ia not an advantage; in fact, these inconven- jenit and much abused articles would be & positive protection, and it would bea kindness on the part of the manager to enforce a petticoat rule. 096 can understand after viewing the expose atthe Standard, even through the gentle medium of sail- ors’ suits, the loving, clinging tenderness with which womankind. hangs to Une petticoat prerogative despite of dress reform advocates.

This is beginning to be the attitude of the public to the theaters. Still they keep open, and still are found, apparently, a good many people willing to undergo some discomfort to be amused. ses The business of those theaters which are open keeps up in a wonderful way. Lizzie Evans has done fairly at the People's against the odds of a third engagement; the Casino has had several fine audiences this week, and“ Billee Taylor“ has drawn large houses to the Standard, so that, in the ex- pectation of warm weather, the managers can take gome comfort as it approaches. *s There is a remarkable wear to comic opera. People go night after night and laugh at the same oid jokes, applaud the familiar songs and are tickied immensely by the ancient bits of funny business. Billee Taylor“ seems to have caught the popular fancy again. It has several pretty comie songs and an immense amount of action an stage business which is always entertaining, and then it has the sine qua non of the comic opera—girls without petticoats. It makes no difference what the quality of the girls is, so they ure real girls. In the case of the chorus at the Standard the state of being without petti- coate is not an advantage; in fact, these inconven- jent and much abused articles would be a positive protection, and it would be a kindness on the of the manager to enforce a petticoat rule. One can understand after viewing the expose at the Standard, even through the gentle medium of sail- ors’ suits, the loving, clinging tenderness with which womankind hangs to the petticoat prer ve despite of dress reform advocates, It is a bulwark, a screen for the defense and concealment of weak- nesses, It is a crime to ruthlessly tear it away in any degree from the shrinking objects in the chorus. eee The shades of the Greek artists must shiber, if fromtheir abodes they can contemplate the limbs opened to view. This.much may be said for the array of legs, that there is an individuality about them which is interesting from an anatomical point of view. ‘They may also be said te be in entire con- formity with the comic character of the perform- ances. The contrasts, similariti 3 twists, crooks and idiosyncracies of the up o under pinning spread out before one furnish endless points for calculation, speculation, amusement and study. The varieties range, fromthe extreme of bow-legzedness to the ' extreme of knock- kueeduess through all the intermediate states and combinations of the two, There are com- hinations. The tendency to knock-kneedsmgess seems to be so genera! in the chorus girl, and from her, as the only evidence in sight, we may argue to womankind, that even when nature insists on an outward curve, the tendency asserts itself and an unhappy mean is struck between them. There are one or two beautiful specimens of this singular freak of nature. Nature itself has its humorous moods and sometimes manufactures what might be called comic opera iu the original Latin meaning of the last word. With nature and art combined to produce fun, any comic opera ought to be a suc- es eee Even plump and pleasing Franc Hall has just a suggestion of the general tendency, and when she walks in her sailor suit the two inside balls of her knees pass in dangerous proximity to each other. Miss Hall, by the way, is working herself into fa- vor, and she deserves a large share of it. She is unassuning and simple in her manner and does Hunt she has to do well and with an earnest desire to succeed. Her voice is light and she can make bouly a slender thread of song, but it is true and once, two most desirable qualities. ses Anything is admissible in comic opera—anything at All, which is likely to take. The entire domain of nature has to pay tribute toit. You can throw in the bark of a dog, the mew of acat, or the bray of a jackass with good charces of success. One of the hits in “Billee Taylor“ has been Mr. J. H. Murchie’s rooster song as Billy Bowline. He has caught the true spirit of the barn-yard and imi- lates its monarch with remarkable fidelity. He crows in three or four different styles, and does them all admirably. His recalis have been limited only by his good humor. It is possible for a man to even crow himself into success, Amusements, The People’s will have two attractions next week. The two performances to-morrow afternoon aud evening will be filled by Genevieve Rogers and Frank E.

Bill-Posters as Censors, From the Dramatic News. A decision of interest to managers, rendered by a Brooklyn judge, has apparently escaped the atten- tion of most theatrical people. Some church mem- bers caused the arrest of a bill-poster across the bridge upon a charge of displaying theatrical print ing that was alleged to be indecent. The accused wasfound guilty, although he personally had seen none of the paper until it was upon the bill-boards. His punishment was only a nominal one, being a fine of $1. A precedent was thus established, how- ever. which may work considerable damage. Probably the printing was indecent, but the question arises whether it is proper to make the bill-poster responsible, and thus constitute him a censor of the illustrations given bim to distribute. The bill- poster isa very useful individual, but he is apt to find the new office thrust upon him too much even for his keen discrimination. Some distin- guished authorities have differed when they under- took to define the line between the. artistic and the indecent. The least the purists can dois to give the knight of the paste brush some tangible idea for deciding which pictures shall adorn the dead walls and which shall be consigned to the waste paper man. It strikes us that a law which holds the man who of the man who is employed to do the work, would be more effective. That would bring the guilty ones to justice and put an end to the dissemination of certain mercantile advertisements that are an outrage todecency. As it is now, a bill-poster may reasonably refuse to distribute a lithograph of Rosalind, while the cigar shops and grocery stores are full of suggestive placards. Abbey’s Difficulties. Keller in N. F. World. Mr. Henry E. Abbey will arrive here from En- gland about the middle of this week. His intimate friends claim that his coming is entirely due to the iliness of His little boy, who may become a cripple from the effects of a recent attack of scarlet fever. Mr. Abbey is devotedly attached to his children, and took especial pride in the promise given by the health and brightness of this boy. It is said, by those who claim to know, that Abbey’s recent traus- fer of his American interests was made simply to meet obligations incurred in his disastrous operatic venture at the Metropolitan Opera House. One of Abbey's confidential friends said to me yesterday: “When Henry E. Abbey concluded his Italian opera experiment he was 000 in debt. I urged upon him the expediency of going through bauk- ruptcy, but be replied that he could not think of causing his friends any loss. I then told him that those friends would be perfectly willing to accept his word of honor to pay them in full, but he pre- ferred to keep up the struggle, and the result has been the payment of Nilsson, Campanini and all that class, while the personal friends who stood by him through thick and thin are still waiting for their money. Still. I toink that Abbey will pull through yet. I know that he has paid of $60,000 of his indebtedness during the past year.“ An Ideal Bridal Feast.

The Elks’ New Quarters—Mercantile Art Reception—Germania Meeting. Since the members of the Elks’ Club voted for a change of quarters last Saturday from their present location to the building on Sixth street, between Chestuut and Pine streets, a change has come over the spirit of their dreams, andit is now possitively announced that their former determina- tion goes for naught. It seems it was a question of heat that caused the difficulty. The members of the Elks insist upon keeping the blood warm and in a lively state of circulation all the time. In summer there is no difficulty to be met in this direction, but in winter, unless stimulants are used, and a by-law of the Elks pro- hibits this, the problem of keeping warm is an all- important one. The proprietor of the new building which they proposed to occupy said he could not give them a furnace,so that settled it. They would not move, but remain where they are until uilding to suit them. An adver- they can get a tisement for proposals to erect them a suitable rominent building brought in some few responses, among which was one from Mr. Joe Lucas, who offe to Ber at their disposal by the fall a structure suitable in every respect for all their re- quirements. The proposed site is Eiguth and Chestnut streets, and the pians and specifications are now in the hands of the arch- itect, to be submitted for approval within the next few days. It is more than likely that the proposi- tion willbe accepted and the ciub soon have a building which for ali practical purposes they can call their own. The art loan exhibition at the Mercantile Club has been postponed for a week, but will surely take place the second week in June. Some very choice paintings have been contributed by mem- bers and friends, and the exhibition, promises in every respect to prove a success. The club house wili be thrown open both day and night for members and their famuies and it is pro- on one or two of the evenings to give an in- tormal reception and concert. Nothing of importance is expected at the Ger- mania in the way of entertainments until after the annual election on the third Wednesday in June, when the regular standing committees for the year will be appointed, YOUNG MEN!—READ THIS.

A New York Variety Perfermer Supposed to Have Imitated Odium. By Telegravh to the Pest-Dispater. New Lokk, May 23.—Severai men inquired at the bridge last night whether anything was known of a man having jumped off that structure, in imitation of the late Professor Odlum. The police were not aware that any one had taken such a leap. The man who is supposed to have jumped is Frank Liv- ingston, who gives exhibitions on the variety stage of light and heavy balancing. Since Odlum's death he has made frequent assertions of his ability to jump off the bridge, and on Thursday he an- nounced to his friends at Harry Hill's that he would perform the feat last night. He was ei- dently in earnest, and when he failed to appear at his usual haunts during the day, and search for him was unavailing, much anxiety was felt. It was thought that he might have fulfilled his prom- ise, and have sbared the fate of Odlum. About Harry Hill’s the affair was the chief theme of conversation last night. Many expressed the be- lief that Livingston had jumped, and the impres- sion prevailed that he had MET WITH A MISHAP. Harry Hill said: Livingston has filled numerous engagements of from one to twelve weeks’ dura- tion during the past eight He is engaged here for this week, has failed to turn up to-day. This is something that never occurred before, and I believe that something must be wrong.” Livingston spoke to Stage Manager Roberts on Thursday and declared emphatically that he would aud could perform the feat. What does your wife say?” he was asked. “Oh, she doesn't want me to try it, but I'm going to, all the same.“ He spoke in a similar strain to Gus Hill, the champion club swinger. The latter says that Livingston has quite a reputation for jumping from — places and that he thrice sprang from high bridges. Word reached Harry Hill's late last nigut that Livingston had performed the feat and been picked up oy friends wuo were ina row boat, and that he was taken tothe New York Hospital. At that institution it was said that no man had been taken there from the river. Pile Tumors however large, speedily and painlessly cured with- out knife, caustic, powder or omtment.

LOGAN'S RE-ELECTION. * A Case of Weodchuck for the Repub- licans of Illinois. -— — Editor Joe Medill’s Ambition to be the Republican Boss in the Sucker State—The Onslaught of Judge Tree's Pile—Chicago Chat. Speciai Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. CHIcaGo, May 22.—Logan's election was a case of woodchuck. The Republican party in Illinois was out of meat, and thay had to have it. man who had $10,000 put into his hands to help in the General's election, if it had to be used. It was a case of clean grit and desperation. Nobody can deny that Logan is manly and plucky. He may not know how to talk good English, but he can stand up and grit his teeth justthesame. The Democrats were out-generaled—there is no doubt about that. But it was not a case of death and starvation with them. They had not the same ifitentive to fight. Logan is poor, so is “Long” Jones, Dan Shepard and all the rest of the loyal Logan legion several hundred thousand strong. With Blaine out of the Presidency, Frank M. Palmer out of the Chicago Post Office and Logan left out of the Senate, the Logan contingent in Illinois would have had to hunt for fodder the next four years. An intimate friend of the Postmast it was the motto of the new Administration, from the President down, to “turn the rascals out.” I know a ri told me yesterday that „And why not?” said he, I notice they were not ceremonious about turning us out twenty-five years ago.” eee In Chicago the Republicans are triumphant, the Democrats complacent over Logan. Anybody who knows Joseph Medill knows that he has precious Senatorship, the thing had to be done and no ting around it, Medill’sinmost ambition is to the Republican boss of Illinois, but he does | of the factsIcan imagine how Logan curled his lofty lip when he got that bitof buncombe and tucked it away in his coat-tail . pocket witha cuss- word as big as a clap of thunder. + There are capitalists in Chicago to-day, let me tell you, who know full well the value of a Repub- lican Senatorship. They know which side their bread is buttered on. Money did not elect Logan, that much is sure, but it would not have been want- ing had it been needed. Judge Lambert Tree was put to the front by the Democrats because of his ile, but he had not the experienced heads to know ow touseit. Business, by the way, in Chicago is, as elsewhere, still at the lowest ebb, It seems each week as if it must before long strike bed rock and bezin to rise, but as yet there is a dead calm, Since the open Board of Trade went to work on its own hook and the cliques outside the the big board fixed up a deal to get St. Louis quotations over the West- ern Union wires, it would seem as if speculation ought to revive, but the trouble is that while the money-changers sit there ‘ready and willing to fleece, the outside public gently cometh notto be 8 * * With money loanable at less than 4 per cent it would look as if there ought to be some stir in gen- eral business, and there have been several faint efforts made at schemes here and there.

The splendid p'aying of the Browns is gaining here an armr of friends, and apparently they already have a mortgage on the pennant for 1885. Strange to say, however, what seems to be the club's gain is Von der Ahe's loss. The attendance for the last t wo weeks has been very poor for the simple reason that but one game has been played gince the Athletics came here that has been in any way interesting. This was the third game in the Baltimore series. In all the others the Browns bave been manifestly the superiors, out-batting an d out-fie ding all comers. To-day, however, the Brooklyns begin their series here, and at as far as Von der Abe is concerned, a 8 for the better will te tbe result. 0 Brooklyns ha’. been playing, great ball and the Browns ~ will nd that it isn’t as easy to uin a game from aciub in good trim as it is to defeat acrippied one. The chances are that the Brooklyns will break the long record of the St. Louis’ victories, and perhaps they may capture two of the games. However, with Bushong behind the bat and Foutzand Caruthers in the pitcher's box the coming champions ought to be able to hold their own. xe The debut of “The Black Diamonds" as Henry Lucas’ St. Louis League team is christened, on the Polo Grounds to-morrow afternoon. will be the oc- casion of an ovation, Manager Mutrie having deter- mined to make the event in every way a memor- able one. The long, sovere, trying, but ultimately successful fight for supremacy which has attended Henry Lucas’ efforts to e:tablish a League olub in this city has turned the tide of public opinion in his favor, and he certainiy commands and merits the popular approval which has been aroused in his behalf in New Yors. The reception of the Lucas League Club will bea thoroughly hearty and en- thusiastic one, and they will be lionized in true metropolitan style. Mr. Lucas will be at New York with his team. 8 * « Charley Sweeney's disgraceful conduct at Provi- dence has been severely commented upon duriug the past week.

In regard to the mat- ter, it may be said that coming bome, as it were, among his former sseociates and on top of this to gain the splendid victory he did over Radbourne, it was but natural that he should fee! a little exuberant, and perbaps be guilty of an excess which otherwise would not have oc- curred. But this is as far as it should have gone, One night's reunion is enough, and while Sweeney is without doubt an excellent pitcher and a great factor in the S . Louis club. a severe fine should be imposed upon lum and he shouid be given.to under- Stund empiatically that this sort of thlag must stop. The mere tact that a mau is a good plaver is no excuse for drunkenness, and if the flue which Lucas is in justice bound, both to himseif and the rest of the ciub, to impose upon the offender does not bring about the desired reformation, Sweeney or any other member of the club wo thinks he has @rigatto become intoxicated whenever he pleases should be summar.iv expeiled from the olub.

A lone, sqnatter-sovereignty billygoat, with all the enthusiasin and nobility of Gotham biilies, leisurely strolled acruss the diamond and made his entree with becomin; modesty in tne direction of bis namesake, Buck“ Ewing. The latter was compelled to duff his head- gear and bow m obeisance to the continued plaudits of 10,000 amused spectators.

New York, May 23.—There was a lively time in Biily Sexton’s billiard parlors, on Broadway, early yesterday morning. Many well-known sporting men had gathered together and talked sport in all ite phases. Al Smith was the center of a group consisting of Billy Sexton, Jace Schaefer, Joe Howard, Phil Lynch, Marty“ Malone. and Harry Stedecker, He expatiated on the merits of George Slosson as a billiardist, and asserted that Slosson could defeat any man at any style of billiards. After Sexton defeated Siosson at cushion caromsa few weeks ago, a match for the same style of play was made, to take place in October next, for $1,000 a side, 500 points to be played. A mile spread over Sexton's countenance as he reminded Smith of this match, and the latter said: Well, I will bet you the same odds as I laid on the last ga mo that Siosson will defeat you in a match, the same style and number of points, on the night succeeding that on which you play your next game.“ Done, “ gaid Sexton, and articles of agreement were drawn u stipulating that Smi:b bets Sexton $1,500 to $1,059 that Slosson will defeat Sexton at cushion-caroms, 500 1 up. Then Smith said; “I will bet another $1,000 that Slosson can beat you at the fourteen-inch balk-line game the night fol- lowing.” “I won't do that,“ said Sexton, “byt I 2 — Any o It.“ ee mith agreed, and articles were drawn up, in which it is stipulated that Sloason and Schaefer | are to play 690 points at the fourteen-inch balk-line game for $1,000 a side, on the night following Slos- sun's and Sexton's second match. After the articles had been signed Mr Smith asked Mr. Sex- ton if he would give dim tour dis- counts in a game of cushion-caroms of 100 pointa for aside and wine for the party. xton and soon the balls were roilin about on the green cioth at a lively rate. The fi game was decided for Smith. Then the layed another, Smith laying $59 to he woul wis and Sexton was ty beaten. Then Jake Schaefer i; “Al, Dll play you a game, give you the same ds and stakes $50 ust $00." Smita agreed and won that and another game.

About two years ago and within a few weeks after the death of her husband, John Fritz, the defendant, who had previously lodged in the same house with the — family, besieged the bereaved widow, who was the possessor of @ fortune of about $500,000, with protestations of love and proposals of marriage. Mrs. Haxe was not unwilling to receive the flattering 4 tentions of her youthful swain, but insisted that she should have at least a year’s time in which to mourn over her recent affliction and bewail the loss of the lamented Haxe, before seriously considering a proposition to agals seek happiness in the wedded state. A corre ndence of anamatory character ensued b — them, extending over many months. Aft length her eldest son, discovering what we going on, 8 ke seriously with his mother anc convinced her of the folly of believing in the disinte ness of Fritz's affection, and acting upon her son’s advice, she declined to have any- thing further to do with him. rhe discarded lover, seeing his golden dreams of th life of luxu and ease, supported by the widow's wealth fading rapidly to thin air, on June 19th las rushed madly to St. Helena, where the fs widow was nding her vacation, and in room at the St. Helcna Hotel, in the presence of her little daughter Josie, tendered her with one hand a promissory note for $500 and wit the other a bundle containing thirty-four co her amatory effusions, and by threatening publish the letters, induced Mrs. Haxe to sigr the note, which at the request of Fritz, bu without knowledge of its intended use, nad been drawn up by Mr. Wade, the cashier of the bank, strong, so that it would stick.” Thi interview was of so noisy a character that it attracted A. Tanolo, the proprietor of the hotel; who witnessed a portion of scene. Fritz ther surrendered the letters. But six days afte wards he again appeared, and stating that he had preserved copies, procured a second n for $500 by similar threats of publication. Re turning to San Francisco,he induced Goeslin t write a fictitious telegram addressed to himse and signed “McF.” offering him $2,000 to tify against Mrs. 7 in the Hammersmi will contest, in which she was interested, A TELEGRAPHIC SCH IME. This telegram he inciosed in an envelope dressed to himself in the care of Mrs, Haxe St. Helena, with the hope that curiosity mig! tempt her to open it, and to make the ma appear genuine, he followed it up with the f lowing letter to Mrs. Haxe: SAN Francisco, June 25, 1884, My DarurneG Eva—l arrived in this city th evening at 7:30 o'clock and my friend told that he received a telegram for me and thought I was still in St. Helena, so he sent up to me.

He became loud his demands for this spurious dispatch and sul sequently wrote her as follows: San FRANCISCO, July 2, 1854, My Drar—lIf you want to save trouble, ha that telegraph at Mrs. Bann’s at 2 o'clock Me day afternoon.

They will put on ointments that burn and plastersthat tear the flesh, lotions that harden and liniments that diseolor the skin, andthey will stand before their mirrors using tweezers by ‘the hour. Ihave had women come to me almost in hysterics over their de- * of ridding themselves of this superfluous gift of nature. Frequently they have made themselves look ten times worse than they did before, for in their desperation and determina- tion they will do, anything to their faces, I have one patient now taking my treatment who has, I fear. disfigured her face for life and made it look worse than twice as many superfluous hairs would have done 2 there none of these things that do any Ot all the remedies which ladies oommonly try there is only one, the tweezers, that is miess and effective. But that has to be kept up, at intervals of a few days, all one’s life, I have experimented with all the remedies that, so far as I know, have ever been proposed. Some I have found to be positively injurious; some very painful‘ and but one to have any value,” What is that?” The electric treatment.” said the beauti- fler,” as he uncovered a diabolical-looking little machine, all whevls and rods.

The principle is not new, but its application to this purpose is comparatively recent and its use is not common.” DIVORCES OF THE WORLD. How and for What Reasons They are Granted in Many Countries. From the Leeds Mercury. The following particulars as to the methods of securing divorces in different countries are interesting: Siamese—The first wife may be divorced, not sold, as the others may be. She then may claim the first, third and fifth child, and the alternate children are yielded to the husband. Arctic er wap, re a man desires a divorce he leaves the house in anger and does not return for several days. The wife un- derstands the hint, packs her clothes and leaves, Tartars—The husband may put away his partner and seek another when it pleases him, and the wife may do the same. If she be ill-treated she complains to the Magistrate, who, attended by the principal ple, accom- ies her to the house sad pronotncts a ormal divorce. Chinese.—Divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality, mutual dislikes, jealousy, incom- patibility of temper, or too much loquacity ou the part of the wife. The husband cannot sell his wife until she leaves him by action of the law or desertion. A son is bound to divorce his wife if she displeases his parents. Jews.—In olden times the Jews had a discre- tionary power of divorcing their wives, Javans.—If the wife be dissatisfied she can obtain a divorce by paying a certain sum. Thibetans,—Divorces are seldom, allowed, unless with the consent of both parties—neither of whom can afterward remarry. Moors.—If the wife does not become a mother of a boy she may be divorced with the consent of the tribe, and she can marry again. Abyssinians.—No form of marriage ig neces- sary. The connection may be dissolved and renewed as often as the parties think proper, Siberians.—If the man be dissatisfied with the most trifling acts of his wife he tears her cap or veil from her head, and this constitutes A divores. Coreans.—The husband can divorce his wife and leave her the charge of maintain- ing the children; if she proves unfaithful he can put her to death. Druse and Turkoman,~ Among these people, if a wife asks her hus- band’s A eryerr to go out, andif he sa „go,“ without adding but come back n,” she is divorced. Though both parties desire it, they can not live together without being remar- ried. Cochin-Chinese.—If the parties choose to separate they break a pair of chop-sticks or a copper coin in the presence of witnesses, by which action the union is dissolved. The hus- band must restore to the wife the property be- lo to her prior to her marriage. Ameri- 2 ek pve some tribes the pieces of sticks given to the witnesses of the marriage are burnt asa sign of divorce. Usually new connection are formed without the old ones being dissolved. A man never divorces his wife if she has borne him sons. For He is a Jolly Good Fellow. From the New York Chronicle, Addison Cammack is the most important man in Wall street on the bear side.

The ground work is ouernlly stoné; on this are thrown media val patterns in . yellow, blue (light‘and dark) and what is now. called terre, closely allied to terra-cotta. A gold thread runs through the material; sometimes a conven- tional flower is prin upon it. The ribbons display borders in which medi val shields And many very heraldic looking devices are printed, with a predominating gold element in them. Neither the materials by the yard or the rib- bons are cheap; some of them cost over a pound a ag e fabric is the chief novelty in this year’s millinery. Many of the Byzantine scarves have been prepared for hats; scarcely one of the new hats is to be seen with@ut them. Nar- row ribbons in bows are a great deal worn and moire ribbons. Gauze ribbons, with and with- out satin stripes, have come in in, much as our mothers wore them. The soft-corded make of silk as in the ‘‘faille francaise,” is a plied to ribbons. There ie a deal of gold worn—gold cord, gold braid, wings of birds covered with gold and aigrettes gled with gold. Gold and gold and cream silk canvasses are used for the crowns of bonnets, and with these gold-threaded gauzes and chenille are often blended, also tufts of the same with crepe. The used in millinery are ngled with gold, soare the marabout tufts. e fashionable aigrettes are a mixture of marabout, ostrich and osprey. American Fables. A Tiger suddenly Appeared before a Peasant one day and asked for a Certificate of Charac- ter, Explaining that he Desired it to help him Better his Fortunes.
