His Report to the Pope Will Remain a " Geeret—What He Says of It. : Dispatch. N „ January 5.—It was the general belief y bere that Mgr. Per- Nico's secret report to ‘the Pope on his special mission to Ireland would be published the week of the new official authority of the | Vatican thatthe report might be expected in January and that the | paper would be very barsh to the Irish peo- ple and severe on the priests who assist in carrying on the plan of campaign; but the word has quietly passed around now tbat Persico’s report will remain a secret. Rumor has it thatthe Pope has received sound in- formation from the Irish Archbishops and Bishops about the public sentiment there and concludes it would be unwise to do anything further to irritate it. The Post-DIsPATCH corresponden$ sought to obtain facts from Persico bimselt and called on Monsignor at the Convent Cappuecini, where he is staying. He was very sourteous and said he knew nothing whatever about the pudlie rumors and conjegtures concerning the report. THE INTEREIZEW. „made my report to the Pope, he said, „and his holiness was quite satisfied with it. So far as I am concerned my mission ie ended, but I do not believe the report will de pub- lished.*’ „What are your own impressions of the present condition of Ireland?’’ **l think,’’ answered Monsignor, that it will be a long time before matters go smoothly for Ireland. The tenants have on their side a great deal to complain ot and in many cases 1 found them in the right. The feeling of hatred against the landiords for continued injustice bas been growing for a long time and is very deep-rooted, but the genera! feeling against England is not so bitter as some people would like to make ont. I was much sur- prised when talking with several Nation- alists to hear them deprecate all talk of absolute separation from England. They want home ruie and that is all. BETTER FOR IRELAND, Are you in tavor of giving it to them!“ Persico was asked. His answer was guarded. Wen,“ be said, 1 am certain that they did get it things would g a great deal better for Ixe- land than they do now. At least they might try it and see how it works. But Iwas astonished to find,’’ continued Monsignor, *‘that the masses of the Irish peo- ple have formed very mistaken ideas about the Pope. They think he is using his influence against them in a manner that tends to menace Ireland's future prosperity. This ts not so. His Holiness is seriously concerned about the miserable state of the lower classes of the people of Ireland, and is continually urging the Irish bishops to try and look after them a littie more than they do. That is all 1 am at liberty tosayto you. The Pope has de sired me to be reticent on the gubject.’’ The Feeling in Dublin. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatcn. Dupuy, January 5.—Irishmen feel very much pleased at the quiet intimation from Rome that Persico’s report of his mission bere is not going to see daylight. It would not make much practical differenee in the priests’ part in the plan of campaign, but might stir up an unpleasant feeling, The arch- bishop of Dublin has never by word ordeed altered his course in Irish polities toward the men against whom Persico’s secret reports were directed. Irish Oatholics awaited with some dread the one-sided report they felt sure was coming and will be greatiy relieved if it is suppressed. The Pope's recent affectionate letter to the Archbishop of Dublin fully reaseures Irish Catholics of the holy father's feelings toward them. — — TRADE IN TONQUIN.

The report of the Mia- ister of Finance shows that during the past fiscal year the national debt has been in- creased nearly eleven and a half uilliion dol- lars until it now reaches $254,578,000, an increase of , %%, or #& per cent., as Compared with 1887, although there has been only an increase of 16 per cent in population. Thisis not the worst feature asthere has been another large deficit in the Treasury and another appeal to England for more money, in the shape ot a loan will be necessary. Revenues from customs and excise show a decline of over half a million dollars as compared with 1887, thé main source from which the re- enue ef the county is derived. Interest om the public debt has increased over a quarter of @ million while in the working of the goVernment railways there was a deficit of $300,000. The total revenue from all sources during the year was $35,908,468, of which 822,105,926 was from customs. The total expenditure was $36,108,494, of which $9,723,313 was interest on public debt. Over N per cent of the total revenue of the Dominion is paid out on ac- oount ofinterest. Turning now to the trade question itisshown that as compared with 1883 the aggregate trade of the Dominion has fallen off from $230 ,000,000 to $199,000,000. Ouly once in the history of the country has the bal- ance of trade been io favor of the Dominion, which was in the year 1880, when exports ex- ceeded imports $1,421,711. Were there any prospectef matters improving there might be some hope for the young Dominion, but there is not; they Are going from bad to worse with- out any apparent signs of the development of ite natural resources, as evidenced in the ex- ports, which did not last year reach as high a figure as they did in 1888 by $9,000,000, while imports show an increase of $,000,000. Folks are tiring of this state of affairs, which is every day tending to strengthen the feeling throughout the country fora closer alliance with the United States. -— THE WORLD OF PLEASURE.

Lonpox, January 5,-—It is too early to speak of the new London season, but some events cast their shadows before. That Irving’s and Terry's Macbeth, spiendidly false as they are, will last into and through and possibly beyond the season, is now assured. Old oritics wag their heads and say it will take Shakspeare years to recover from this shock, years to get the proper con- ception of his characters readjusted. The death of Hallawell Phillips is a remarkable cdincidence. People say that Irving’s per- formance must have hatrowed up his schol- arly edul. ; Among the events of the coming season is one of so much importance to society that it is already beard of thus far in advance. Is is the return of the Vanderbdilts. It is understood that they were pleased with experience ot last season. Mr. und Mrs. Cornelius Van- derbilt have retained their London house and will occupy it, receiving end giving entertain- mentson the same magnificent scale as be- in the season, will come over in their yacht Alba, Thesé, with others expected to arrive, will make up a dazzling colony of American millionaires. Among the American singers who are win- ning their way here is Miss Zippora Monteith of Brooklyn, whe bas been engaged te appear at the Exeter festival on April % in the soprano roles of The Woman of Samaria’’ and some other cantatas. Miss Monteith has been studying with Randegger, who has greatly interested himself in her advance- ment and has secured for her several concert appearances at the Orystal Palace and with Sir Charles Halle. Migs Monteith now expects to remain here until next winter. Americans Abroad. Special Cablegrem to the Fost-Dispatch. London, January 5.— ol.

A Theroughly Romaptic Drama—Halliwell Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, January 5.— Mansfield is making great preparations for an entirely new play, The scenery bas all been ordered and the actors in the company taken into the secret. Manefield will not tell yet who is writing the play for him, but says itisa well-known scholar and writer thor- oughly familiar with French history in the time of Marie Antoinette. The scene will be laid in Brittany. Mansfield will play the part of a peasant who falls in love with a lady of high degree of Marie Antoinette’s court, The play will be a thoroughly romantic drame, « good plot and full of action and incident, and Mansfield expects to make a great hit with it.

The death of Halliwell Phillips on Thursday opens the possibility that the best colfection of Shakspeariana in the world may go to America. It ie not known yet whether Phil- lips disposed of it by will, but probably not. He had a row with the Stratford-on-Avyon people, and would not be Ilkely to give his books to a memorial there, while if he gave them to the Shaks- peare library at Birmingham it would duplivate many rare books already in that library. Shortly before his death Phillips had a talk with B. F. Stevens about Shakspeariana in American libraries, and Steyens suggested to Phillips that his collection should find a permanent place in New York. Phillips did a graceful thing recently by presenting to sev- eral public libraries in America rare copies of his own works on Shakspeare printed here for private ciculation. — —— — CHINESE IMMIGRATION, Speculation Concerning the Settlement of the Question in Australia, Special Cablegram to the Post-tispatch. London, January 5.—Although the Chinese Government appears tobe inno great hurry to come to an agreement with that of Great Britain in regard to Chinese emigration to British colonies,the Pekin authorities are nev- ertheless equipping themselves for the diseus- sian of the question, From the beginning the leading Chinese residents in Australia have been in constant communication by telegraph and letter with the Chinese Minister in London and the Government ia Pekin. The principal Chinese merchant in Sydney. in response to an invitation, has proceeded to Pekjn to give the authorities there information on the subject, and to represent the views of the Chinese In Australia. It certain vague official mapifesta- tions are to be trusted, no very sanguine hopes are entertained that the negotiatians can produce a result satisfactory to the Aus- tralians. Indeed, since it has become known thet the American representive treaty was re. jected the British Foreign Office is reported to have lost heart and hope in the matter and to be proceeding more from a enge of duty to Australia than from any hope of obtaining s prohibitive or restrictive treaty with China. — — — — DIVORCE IN.

The crime was from the first velled in the deepest mystery, but among those to whom suspicion pointed as having done the job was Rezzilo.

HE Post-D1sPaTOoH correspondent’s at- tention has been called to a most interesting matter, which altects a very large number of residents of a part of Wisconsin and Minne- sota. It relates to the question of the legal- ity of the title of the land which includes the Falls of St. Anthony on the west side of the Mississippi, the whole of the cdunties of Pepin, Pierce, St. Croix, Barron, Dunn, Eau Claire, Douglass, Chip- pewa, Washburn, Sawyer, Pierce and Taylor, with a good part of Buffalo, Trempesicau, Jackson, Wood, Marathon, Lincoln, Polk aad Ashland, on the Wisconsin side. It is alleged that it was granted to one Johpathan” Carver, by two Nandowissie or Sioux chiefs, whose favor be had gal while exploring their country. Interest was frst awakened by the receipt ofa letter from a Baltimore attorney by a well-known law firm of this city. The attorney is looking the mat- ter up and your correspondent, in reference to it, also received a letter, of December 27, 1888, in which the attorney says he holds three deeds, the — 1 of David Martin ot Mary- land, who received them from the descend- ante of Carver. PETITIONING CONGRESS. In 1806 Carver's heirs besought the Co 8 of the United States to restore them this land. Nothing was heard from it, and in 1623 they again applied, and lastly in "1825 they made a Anal appeal. The matter was then 25. but Con claimed that they had no proofs by which to substantiate their claims, and the case was . dismissed. It was appar- ently dropped by the disheartened heirs, but the foregoing letters are evidence that some are alive and intend to bring the matter before the public again. A MANIA FOR DIVORCE.

CINCINNATI, O., January 5.—The Investment Co. of Philadelphia has just brought suit in the United States Court here to recover pay- ment on 674 bonds of $1,000 each, and to have the receiver, Hon. Samuel Hunt, wind up the business affairs of the road if payment is not forthcoming. This road runs from Cincinnati to Portsmouth, and is = miles long. The text of the Investment Co.’s claim is: First, that the 674 bonds, of a r of $674,000, "and 808 interest coupons delivered to them. Second, that over-due interest on bonds and coupons, to the amount of ,000, be awarded them, and, as the Olio & orth western has broken the conditions of sold to liquidate 3 td — "eats they are otherwise ad; that the Court order the road to pay — 1 —· ae due, within a cer- tain time, or to order Receiver Hunt to sell the road and apply the proceeds to the — * ment of interest and all claims.

He had organized a person- ally conducted search party forthe head and body coverings he had removed an hour or more before, when he went in to hear Edwin „The Poor Piayers’’ their new club house. He Richard Watson Glider, the poet editor ofthe Century. As he groped in the pheives and cubby-holes, a rasping voice ealled out to him: Here, take my hat and coat. Raising his small, alert head to transfix the brusque stranger with bis dark, deep, sunken eye, Mr. Glider and Mayor Hewitt recognized each other, bowed and smiled. „thought you were the attendant,’’ ex- plained Mr. Hewitt, ‘‘but you might as well putmy bat away, as you don’t seem able to And your own.’’ Four hat, Mr. Hewitt,“ replied Mr. Gilder, don't see why you should need a hat when your head goes off to-day.’’ Club men coming in and going out in the meantime addressed Mr. Hewitt as Mr. May- or, and passed on. A BARDONIC SMILE eradlated his dyspeptic features and bristled his silvery chin beard. How indifferent these passers seemed to be to the great fact that Hewitt would cease to reign over them in just eleven hours. The waning potentate passed np the marble stairs, hitched up his white cra- and stepped into the hall, whose gay upe—not too gay—were eddying into open doors of the grill- and making merry on sandwiches, and claret punch. Where were the eager belsances, the obsequious bows, the testi- onials of inferiority and homage to which he ruler ofthe third city in the world had accustomed? Gone with the wane of his tyranny, and, with none 80 poor to do reverence,’’ he passed into the throng mnnoted and ignored. Inthe meantime Mr. e cork. AN INTERESTING GROUP. .

Ua and the statistics six years ago when he ex- amined them warranted his assertion. Mr. Miller said that he had never heard a stronger argument than that in favor ofthe kindergarten. Director John Brady asked whether it was Mr. Vickroy’s opinion that if a child had only three years to go to school it would be better for him to go to the kindergarten forone year. The reply was that he considered thata child who attended the kindergarten for one year and the primary for two would know more at the end of three years than a child who had spent the three years in the primary depart- ments. 8 Principal of . ‘Garonéeles School, was next called on and said: In my opinion, where a child gy with the creates: only b three or THE KINDERGARTEN USES SCHOOL PRINCIPALS SUGGEST MODIFI- CATIONS.OF THE SYSTEM.

Ss in A should join acom- munity because a certain number of people with names in O or M have done so, yet itisa fact that the proportion is invaluable, ‘‘The ratio preserved in directories is very sin- gular, said an old cauvasser. Here is an experiment I have not tried for a long while, Take the directories of different cities and figure out the center of the pages used for the registration of names, or tuke two-thirds of the volume or one-third and on figuring to the same proportionate part of the directory of another city, notwithstanding the dispro- portion that may exist between the total pop- uiations, you will find not only the same letter, butoftenthe same first syllable on the corresponding page. The work of cowp.ling directories has beep reduced to such a system thata large city can be canvassed in a very short time. THE FIRST GENERAL DIRECTORY was compiled in London in 1627. Reprints of this old publication are curious volumes. Whole lines are given to the designation of the citizens whose standing was of sufficient Wi AAA, SE 9 4 Canvasser. importance to give them place in the list of London's residents. The first attempt to register the citizens was not en- tirely 11 success owing to neglect on the part of the Street Commissioner of London of that day in numbering houses. This was not the first registry of names, bow- ever, as prior to this datethe practice of keep- ing a list of résidents of districts had been in- troduced by the police in the towns of conti- nental Europe. The first directory published in this country was issued at Philadelphia, Pa., in 1769, and a few years later the population of New York City was listed. The volumes are about the size of a grammer schoo) arithmetic. The first city directory compiled in St. Louis was issued in 1821. It isa much less preten- tious volume than the 1,800 page book of to- day. Tae compilations of names and addresses were not known as directories until Napoleon I. introduced the word. They are now com- piled annually in nearly every city in this country. The work of preparing a directory for such a city as St. Louis with a population of 500,000 and an area of over sixty-two square miles is a contract of no small proportions. To accomplish the work the city is DIVIDED INTO 850 DISTRICTS. Some of these, including large buildings such as the Custom-house, Court-house or a large office ouilding are not over a few blocks in area while others in the thinly populated parts of the city comprise an area of several square miles. The canvasser ’ is to register the name of every adult or bead of a family in his district. It will be seen at once that duplications are numerous, but this is provided against by en- tering every name, employment, residence, business on single slips. These are written with the family name frst so that in Sorting ee in an alphabetical order duplicates will come together and be discov- ered readily. To do this work requires an ex- pert set of canvassers. A good d oanvasser, said Mr. D. B. Gould, the 8, Louis Directory compiler, — the qualifications that go to furnish orth a bank president or cashier and some- something more. General information and wide experience are useful. A knowledge of languages is no drawback in rexistering names pecnilar to certain nationalities. The first thjng to be done in ting up a directory ,’’ Mr. Gould, is to selecta force of canvassers. This force represents ALL NATIONALITIES to meet the requirements of the work. There are parts of st.

TWELVE LECTURES. Edward H. Bemis of Johns Hopkias Univer- sity to Talk at the Public Library. The close of the month and quarter gave the Public Library Board considerable business to transact at ite meeting yesterday afternoon. Most of it would be of no special interest to the public, which, however, wif be glad to know that an unprecedentedly large number of new members subscribed during the month — Dosw ber and many valuable volumes were added. Prot. Edward W. Bemis, Ph. D., of Jobns Hopkins University will deliver, af the Public Library, a course of twelve lectures, on suq@ ve Friday evenings, beginning with Feb- ruary 8. Alter each lecture Dr. Bemis answers any uestions that may be put, and gives direc- ons for further — of the topics treated. The course bas met with the sereatest success in other cities. Glyen in Buffalo last ar, there was an urgent demand for its repetition this winter; and both seasons the audience- room was ulled, and the lectures and accom- panying discussions were pronounced in the hi best degree entertaining as well as in- structive, The St. Louis Public Library offers this course of lectures in the exercise of its func- tion as an institution for popular education with a view to induce a wider study of social science, polities and political economy. The managers have no thought of pecuniary prof- it; they merely desire to cover the expenses of the course. wing tothe small seating ca- pacity of the room, only a limited number of tickets can be sold. It is proposed to issue 100 course tickets to subscribers at $5, at the same time giving to each subscriber the priv- llege of an extra course ticket for $l. Persons desiring to aubscribe are reques to send in their aames promptly und to indicate whether they wish the extra ticket. AN ELOPER’s GOOD FORTUNE. Her Father Threatens to Disinherit, but Don’t, By Telegraph to the POST-DIsPaTOoH. KANSAS Crrr, Mo., January 5.—A dispatch from Omaha says: ‘‘Nellie Frank-Benton of Kansas City, the daughter of the late Jobn Frank of Omaha, Inherits his estate of $60,000. Two years prior to the father’s death she abandoned her husband and eloped with Ben - ton, who is a printer, and was one of her bhus- band’semployes. After she had secured a di- voree they were married. For that her father threatened to disinherit her.

Benton, alluded to in to contest for the Roberts E. and the above dispatch, have lived in Kansas City or the past two years. r. Benton states that the estate there is worth about $125,000. Mrs. Bentow decided to do as ber father had done in 288 Fleck, and paid his board band other bills, and supplied him in pocket money. They know nothing about his inten- tion to contest the will. Chess News. The handicap tourney of the St. Louis Chess Club is drawing to acioseand the prizes, to the amount of $100, win be distributed by Mr. Rowse next week, Wm.

The third > of $l5 and the fourth of $10 lie between Sers. Max Judd and 8. A. Spencer. The fiftt, sixth and seventh prizes are still a matter of doubt; in fact eo even is the score of many of the players with respect to the fiftn prize, that it may be found necessary to inau- gurate a minor tourney to decide the matter. It is generally conceded in the club that Mr. Wm.

Much of the Property Along the River North Out of the Market—Miscelianeous Sales amd Real Estate Notes Transfers Be- served in a couple or more of the leading real estate offices dur- ing the week were each ot them sufficiently plain to indjeate that several secret and important negotiations had about reached their culmina- tion, but every time the interested parties were asked for infor- mation about these L mysterious deals the parties approached closed their lips. The knowing gentlemen would say, we can’t tell you about it. We would ke to, you know, but every one of us ts pledged to secrecy.’' Prominent business men and several retired capitalists that are rarely met in real estate baunts have been seen in the offices of agents on several occasions this week. There was a feeling during the last few days that some big deals were going on. When the the Post- DISPATCH printed the details of some secret deals in property in the block between Seventh and Eightb streets, Clark avenue and Poplar street. The news caused much com- ment. Positive information was obtained about the sale of these pieces of property in the block and enough more learned in a gen- eral way to leave no doubt that a plan was then being worked to buy up the whole block at low prices and to con- vert it into rallway or manufacturing purposes. There had not been a deed flied of public record to prove thatany ofthe prop- erty had been sold at that time, nor has one been filed up tothe present day, but consid- erable property in that neighborhood has changed ownership, and the papers bave sot appeared of record because the official publi- cation of such sales would be egivaient to notifying owners had not yet 901d to advance their prices. The Post-DisPaTo#, however, wave the owners sufficient warning and some of them took the timely bint and have 1 tively refused to convey at prices to which they bad agreed, and others who had nat yet consented to take the proffered. considera- tion have advanced their price from 50 to 100 per cent. and the prospects ere that they wil) get all that they ask. The excitement in the reel estate fleld, how- ever, which was referred to particularly above, isin an entirely different direction and in this connection it is safe tosay that the facts pertaining to the transac- tions and the aggregate amount of money involved could stated the eum total of sales closed this week would be much la than ever known before in this market during a corresponding time in the month ot Janu- ary. A few days ago the real estate sensation of the pe was the sales of Lucas place pro whieh first appeared in the Post-DisPaTtcH. The demand and sale of such property for the purposes stated was so unusual and entirely unexpected at the time as to be almost doubted, but subsequent events have fally proven the truth of the original report, and it way be stated here that much more pertaining to the sale of other pronerty in that locality has not yet ap be purchases which have caused excitement during the past week relate to the Merchants’ Bridge. They were numer- ous an i extensive. ey embrace blocks and — of blocks of property improved and un- mproved, extending from the Eads Bridge noathward to the ater-works and sita- ated between Broadwa and the river front. It stated now what portion, y, of this territory has been bought for bridge r proper. but it is a certain fact that there has been the liveliest kind of ascramble going or all week in a quiet way among local capitalists to buy or obtain the ref of an immense amount of property all through that section, Having convinced themselves that the Mer- chants’ Bridge will surely te built these speculators have concluded that all that so- ealled river bottom property would be utilized for railway terminals, and that there would be eee: demand for warehouse and manufactur- ng sites all through the territo where the have been buying. There bas n a rush all week to buy sections of this property, and an ent, who is known to have a amount of information about these secret deals, says that there bas been big buying in that district.

Cox Will Not Answer Mrs. Dickerson. Last evening a PosT-DISPATOH reporter sent up his card to Mr. and Mrs: Charles E. Cox at Huret’s Hotel and when usbed into their room on their invitation asked what they had to say in regard to the statements made by Mrs. Jerome Dickerson in a dispatoh received from Springfield, Mo., and which appeared in last evening’s Post-DisPaTCH. Mrs. Dickerson stated to the Post DISPATCH correspondent at Springfield that Mrs. Cox yee Miss Elva 1855 n n heiress of * Who is ber niece, was not 000 left ber by her father, as had been re- ported, but that on the contrary she had who, absolutely nothing. Mrs. Dickerson said that Klva'e father nad died when bis daughter was quite-a child, and she had raised her as if ene were herown. She had objected to Mr. Cox paying her attention, because she did not believe ne was a fit person to court her. Fur- thermore, she said that her will, which con- veyed to Kiva large property, had been torn up and that Mr. Dickerson, wno had intended to leuve her a fortune, would not do so now. Mr. and Mrs. had read the dispatch and were prevared for the reporter’s inguiry. „1 have simply noth ng to say about Mrs. Dickerson’s statements, said Mr. Cox. **When I get back to Springfield, then 1 will „eit true that Mrs. Cox is really worth nothing, as Mrs. Dickerson asserts?’ ’ „do not wish to make any answer to Mrs. Dickerson’s statements Whatever. „When was that dispatch received?’’ asked Mrs. Cox.

English Capitalists to Invest Heavily in Arizoua Mineral Lands. One of the largest sales of mining property that the country has known for «a long time will probably be oom pleted within the next six weeks. The property in question is that known as the Silver Bell group of mines, lo- ated in Pina County, Aris., about sixty miles m Tucéon and ten miles from the Southern and part of it is for me, put in Mr. Nothing Pacific Railway. The group comprises claims, covering more than three bundrea acres,and the numerous Veins contain — silver and lead. O. 8.

Tests made from a large — of outcrops gave an average of * ounces of silver to to 15 ae lead, and from cent sliver. Owing to the unsettied and disturbed condition of the country, the mines had not been 6 ally worked. and the appliances on the ground are of the most primitive description. The English company, it they decide to pur- chase, will erect large smelting works at once.

Nor has their labor of love even been allowed to merge with the mere record of the past, for the share they bave taken in the work will be made permanent with the perpetuation of the children’s fund. Last evening at the Mercantile Club the general committee came together for the last time to hear the report agreed upon by eleven of its members at a meeting beld at the Southern Hotel. There were present the following gentlemen: 2 er 2 2a os. Specht, Charles T. Whitsett, D. R. Wolfe, 3 Richard Ennis, W. F. Niedringhaus. Marcus Bernhelmer, , PERPETUATING THE FUND. Chairman John 8. Moffitt called the meeting to order and submitted the motion adopted by the eleven, which was as follows: That t isthe sense of this committee that the money remaining over from the Post- Dispatcu Christmas Tree be made the oasis of & permanent fund to be known as the Post- Disraron Obildren’s Fund under the manage- ment of a committee of eleven. The purpose of this fund shall be to give an annual Christmas tree entertainment for the ehildren of the 8t. Louis ,and to aid with clothing, shoes and medical attendance needy children. All applications shall be reported on and recommended by some one of the existing charity organizations, or t the applicant be not connected with or known to any such 80 ciety then it shall be inv by some authorized and eppeoved representative of the Associated ty Workers. The office and distribution rooms shall for the present be located at No. 405 North Eleventh street, in the office of the Children’s Aid Society. | Contributions of children’s clothing and of materials to be made up shall be requested from the public, and volunteers be invited to make up clothing and do the work ef n and distributing. Mr. Moffitt then suggested that the commit- tee of eleven was too large and that its num- ber be reduced to seven. He thought that it . would be found advisable for some member to visit the rooms at Eleventh and Locust, streets each day, and as the committee must be workers, it would no doubt prove better limit the size of the body. Mr. Ennis agreed with this view, and moved that a committes of seven, who should have charge of farther distribution of the fund, with N. 0, Nelson as Chairman, be 82 and that the genera! committee of fifty be disc Both motions were adopted and the follow permanent committee was appointed: My THE PERMANENT COMMITTEE.

SOMETHING ABOUT HIS MAJESTY AND HIS ROYAL PALACE.

Special Correspondence of SUNDAY Post-DisPaTcCH. SEOUL, Komm, November 2%. faced, almond-eyed subjects, just 100 years before Colum- dus discovered Amer- ica. The blood that flows in the veins of Li Hi, the present King of Korea, is of the seme continuous royal stream which has flowea over the Korean throne since 1393. During thas time twenty-nine kings have reigned and the power of each has been more despotiv than that of the Ozar of Russia. The royal blood has not weakened in its flowing and hia maj- esty:of to-day bas the best qualities of hig ancestors and is one of the most progressive of the Asiatic rulers. I bad an audience and an interview with him to-day. It was at the royal palace, and I was presented by our minister, Mr. Hugh A. Dins- more. Werodeto the palace in state. Our conveyances were two sedan chairs, each borne by eight big-hatted Korean coolies, and the whole escorted by twelve of the King’s soldiers. The palaces of the King of Korea, in which he has now his residence, cover as much ground as a good sizedfarm. They comprise about one hundred end sixty acres, and a high, well-dullt wall of stone tiled with blue Korean tiling shuts them out from ordi- nary gaze. The gates to this wall are of fine masonry. They have roofs large enough to cover a good sized cottage, and upon these are figures of Korean gods, or of the sacred animals. Each great stone gate has three en- trances, and the central one is never used ex- cept by the King himseif or by the representa- tive of royalty. Leaving our chairs andour soldiers at the outside, for no onerides into the palace grounds, we were ushered past the gorgeous royal guards and escorted by the two greatest generals of the Korean army, were taken into what might be called the hall of foreign enter tainment. It was a long, one-story tiled building, with great overhanging roof upheld by massive beams, welch showed in all the natural beauty of the wood. A brussels car- pet covered the floor, tabies like those you eat from at home were in the center ot the hall and upon these were plates of cakes, which might have been made at an American baker shop, and ranged around the table were glasses ot champagne. Here I was introduced to the King’s prime ministers and I drank wine and clinked glasses with the Secretary of State and the generals of the Korean army. HOW THEY WERE DRESSED. They were allciad in their court dresses, and tle head of each showed a top-knot shin- ing through its une Korean cap of horse-bair with great wings flapping out at the sides. They bad gowns of fine materials of various colors which fell from the neck nearly to the feet, and their feet were shod with great Ko- rean boots, which mede each look as though he had the gout an d wrapped up his feet for the occasion. The most striking feature of their costume, however, wasa stiff, hoop- like belt which ran around the body just be- low the arm pits, and which was so big that it came out about 6 inches trom the dress. These belts are emblems of rank. They were about three inches wide, and they were plated with 2 prone number of small squares, fastened by joints. On some of these belts the squares were of gold, on others they were of silver, and on others they were of green jade or other precious stones. Each quality had its signifi- cance. Another emblem of rank was the button de- bind the right ear, which fastened on the hats of the ministers. This was of gold in some oases, and I noted also that each of these royal dignitaries had a aquare piece of em- broidery about as large as a lady’s lace band - kerchief sewed tothe front and back of his gown. These squares rested between the shoulders and upon the breast and the figures upon them were tigers, in the case of the mil- tary Officers, and storks, in case of the high civil officials and Ministers of State. The hats were especially fine, and as we ~~ our champax«ne I wastold that the big flapping wings at the back of them, which look like ears, represent the quick reoéipt of the orders of the King and the desire of the own- ners to fly in response to them. Ags for the minister and myself, we were of course in full evening dress, and I nad a gentle hint be- fore we went to the King that i must remove my eyeglasses, as spectacies are in Korea an emble ank and no one presumes to rank before the King. OUR AUDIENCE had been fixed for 4 o’clock in the afternoon, ab especially early hour, on account of a stress of business and of my desire to depart for Chinaon the morrow. The business day of the King of Korea is, to use an Irish expres- sion, at night. He begins his work et 8 o’ clock in the afternvon and closes at abvat8in the morning. His most important consultations are now held under the rays of the electric light and his hours are practically the same as tnose ofa hard-working newspaper man. It was promptly at 4 that our procession walked out of the foreign entertainment hall and with measured tread and sober faces solemnly moved on towards the audience chamber of the King.

We thus through the gate and stood in presence of the King. We were still, however, in the open air. The King was in his audience chamber across the court. It was alow room, perhaps 50 feet long, raised about 6 feet above the ground and reached by three flights of steps. It was open at the front and was not more than 88 feetdeep. At the back of this room, and in the center, in front of ascreen and behind a small table his stood.

His tones were low bat impressive, and I could see from the expressioas which came and went across his countenance and the answers which he made, that he is jndeed the King of Korea, and that he is a of more than ordinary ability. The King said he liked the Americans and the people of his country liked them. He had been pleased with their action toward his kingdom and the relations between the two countries had been strengthened since the President had sent outsuch an able man as Mr. Dinsmore to be his representative. echa on various topics some time. After thanking the King for the audience we backed out, bowing three times in about the same positions as atourentrance. We backed down the steps and again bowed, and then with dignified tread were ushered out of his majesty’s presence. THE PALACES. We next tookawaik through the palaces, going by buildings which looked like Japan- ese temples and the outside of which were decorated with carvings. The Royal Cabinet accompanied us,each one of the ministers having two servants to bold up his arms as he wal „ Wewere taken to the center of a beautiful little lake over rustic bridges, where the King has a pagoda-like summer house and where the Queen and her ladies come and smoke on a hot summer evening. We then went to an audience with the Crown Prince, whom we found ina palace more gorgeous than that of the King. He is a young man about 16, though he is fullgrown and is taller than his father. He was gorgeously dressed in a wn of crushed atrawbe silk and he had two eunichs beside him just the same as the King. His face had not the —2 of the King’s, and as yet the young man has hardly shown, Iam told, the ability of his father. ur inter- view was rather tame. The Crown Prince asked after the President and expressed a kindly feeling for our country, and the audi- ence lasted but a few moments. We did not see the Queen, but I doubt not she saw us, for 1 am told she often sits be- hind the screens in His Majesty's councils and views the proceedings through the cracks. At a dinner given to the foreigueis not long ago one of the guests sat very near a latticed win dow separating the dining-room from the one behind, and he tells me that the King and Queen sat bebind this and that the Queen had punched ahole through the paper with her finger, and that he heard the King laugh at some of the jokes which he passed about the Korean officials. THE QUEEN OF KOREA is by no means a figurehead. She belongs to one of the greatest families of the country and it isan open secret that she has at times her voice in the councils of the King. She is one year oider than the King and is said to be a very bright woman. She has an establish- ment of her own inside these palace grounds, and the King, Crown Prince and the Queen each have their separate households. The Queen is never seen men, but she has sev- eral hundred court ladles about her and there area number ofeunichs among the regulariy appointed officers of the court. The Queen dresses, of course, in Korean costume. She wears fine silks and she has beautiful diamonds. She carries a chate- laine watch which is diamond studded and she smokes American sand.

He is clogged with a feudal nobility and with family factions which may break out in rebeliion, and he has to go slowly. Still he has pushed Korea far to the front, and I see in his work the beginning of a revolution which may intime materially change his ple. With a royal school for the instruction of young Korean nobles in the sciences of Christendom, with aline of tele- graph connecting his country with the rest of the world, with his attempted reorganization of the army and his sending out his embassies to foreign courts, he bas certainly taken some steps to thé front. He has, Iam told, the American papers transiated for him and under his directions ‘‘Wheaton’s Treatise on International Lay’ is being translated into the Korean. FRANK G. CARPENTER. CHARLES SUMNER’S SISTER, Trying to Break Her Will, Which Is For the Benefit of Spiritualists. From the Philadelphia Press. Gen. Butler is trying to break the will of the tate Sally Sumner, who at one time owned nearly all of the town of Hyde Park, in the interest of several legatees, who object to certain provisions of the will for the benefit of believers in Spiritualism. Sally Sumner was a sister of Charlies Sumner. She died in the latter part of 1887, leaving a will dated September 11, 1886. She owned considerable property including 115 acres of land. By the terms of the will $30,000 was to de be- queathed to n and the residue of the 8 to ft to thirty other lega- tees.

Medical Superstitions—How Easily Mankind Is Decetved—Much About Familiar Drugs Remedies Shown to Be Worthless. From the Boston Herald. Probably one of the most notable signs of medical progréss at the present day is the de- Cline in the use of medicines by physicians, much less being given by them tothe sick now thaneven a score of years ago. They largely substitute food for drugs, and many diseases dosed by our fathers from beginning to end are now kept under better control by the judicious employment of nourishment. Ie can safely be said that, until late years, the importance of supportive treatment in diseases has never been fully appreciated; too much reliance was once placed in medicines, and the need to nourish, and in that way keep up the life being drained, was not understood as at the presentday. In the list of remedial measures arranged ac- cording to their accepted values, medicines were formerly placed far above food. Their relations have been slowly changing, and if the change continues to go on in the next two decades as rapidly as it has in the last two, it cannot be long before the order willbe re- versed. It is to be feared that centuries must pass before people will learn the true value of drugs. They now, as a rule, have unlimited faith in them, and hold many of them to be infallibie cures. In many even serious diseases the natural tendency is for the patients to re- cover. All that is necessary for the physician to do In nota few such cases is to direct the nursing, and especially to see that the food and drink are wisely given. Oftentimes from the beginning to the end of an attack of I- ness the dietetic treatment alone is sufficient. But people are slow to recognize this new order ofthings. Physicians and drugs have been inseparably associated in their minds, and they cannot understand why the one should be needed except for the purpose of giving the other. It is a positive fact that any number of physicians at the present time are constantly being discharged from attend- ance upon patients simply because they are honest and withhold medicines as they ought, and depend upon good nursing, nourishment, etc. majority of poom™ when they are ill must be dosed, and it one physician won't order drugs for them, they find one who will, or physic themselves. On no other subject are there as many super - stitions as upon that of medicine. There was, perhaps, some excuse for the people of the middie ages, but how those at the ent day Can so easily deceive themselves is hard to understand. An interesting book has lately been written telling of THE MEDICAL SUPERSTITIONS once current in France, and most of them it is said prevail there even at the present time. Here are some ofthe superstitious practices mentioned: To cure fever they abstained from both flesh and eggs on Easter and on other high. festivals; they caused a cabbage, stolen forthe purpose from a neighboring garden, to be dried on a pothook; they wore one of a dead man’s bones as an amulet; they iInclosed a green frog in a bag, and hung it tothe sick person’s neck; they ate the Easter daisy that they found; and they received the benediction in three different parishes on the same Sunday. While telling tneir beads, they searched for a mulicin-stalk and threw it to the winds; the passed through the cleft of a tree; they cau a horse to drink a bucketful of water and then drink after him; they crossed a procession be- tween the crossandthe banner, they drank holy water on Easter eveor on the eve of Pentecost; they twined the hemsof a shroud about their arms and neck, and they drank from three . 1 had their fisheries blessed on a certain saint‘s day. On Assumption day the 2 of mba ym went before sunrise, walking backward, to gather nine sprigs of century, which they fas- tened to a feverish person’s neck, after which they gave bim an infusion of the herb to drink. A choked to death on the eveof St. John’s day had the same virtue. It was common for a feverish patient to rise early in the morning and walk backward in a meadow, plucking a bandful of herbs without turning or looking at them, then throw them behind himand keep on in his course without turning back. The result of this was that the fever attacked the devil. Another practice was for the fevered person to dropapiece of money ina public place with some mummery; whoever picked up the coin took the fever. The waters of sev- eral fountains cured fevers, and, in particu- lar, the fountain of Krignac triumphed over tertains. To banish rheumatism, the sick erson caused a miller or his wife to strike — blows with a hammer, saying: nomine patris,’’ etc. Bathing the parts with the water of the fountain of caused the pain to cease, matics and paralytics were cured of their ills by getting into certain openings, called etrines, in the piliars of a churoh. In Brit- tany a child was protected against all diseases by having its SHIRT PUT ON DAMP. Among the penssase of the Montagne-Noire a white handied knife was an infallible remed tor colic.

Sometimes the sound of church bells had the same effect. The remedy for bleeding from the nose was to allow the blood to trickle on toa straw fashioned into a cross, or to apply a tubular key tothe back. By running up and down in the church pleurisy was escaped. By roiling entirely naked in a field of oats, plucking a handful of oat-headsand leavin them to ry on tog one was made proof against the itch. Spitting into alive frog’s mouth was a eure for cough.

PITTSBURG’S WESTERN TRIP. Manager Phillips Disagrees With Von der Ahe as to the Greunds. By Telegraph to the Post-DispaTcu. PITTSBURG, Pa., January 5.—Manager Phil- lips of the Pittsburg Club said to-night that he had arranged terms with a number of Western clubs for a series of games during the first part of April. However, said he, I have not closed dates yet, for the reason that Iam waiting to hear from Von der Ahe and in what he iatends doing. At the close of the season, it will be remembered, the 8t. Louis man rexpressed himself as anxious to play Pittsburg, but now he wants to «play only in St. Louis. This pro ition, of course we don’t feel disposed to accede to, an in order to arrange aseries of say three games. in both cities, I would be willing to rantee him $200 or for coming dere, which is in excess of the usual one, and I think I would be safe in 8 so, as I feel satisfied if the games are p ayed, and the weather is any- ways favorable, that he could take as his share probably A, 000. But speaking of the western trip, if satisfac- tory arrangements are completed we will leave home in the latter part of March and pi a short series of games in Cincinnati, t. Louis, Kansas Oity, St. Joe, Omaha, Louis- ville and Columbus, returning home in time for the opening of the championship season.

DEAD PEOPLE’S CLOTHES. The New Way of Disposing of Clothes Ne Lenger of Use to the Owner. From an Exchange. What becomes of the clothes of the dead? Here isthe answer. It used to be, among the women of a past generation, a custom to leave their clothes by willin the same manner that they did their ‘‘second best bedstead’’ and ‘*silver gilt teapot.’’ They divided their furs, laces, brocades and ‘‘body linen’’ among their nearest Ein, and generally left the plainer and more worn things to old family servants or poor relatives. But these per- sonal possessions, with the exception of laces, are rarely bequeathed nowadays. rs. John Jacob Astor kept to the old customs, and I sawa poor, pretty girl wearing one of her sealekin coats last week, it having been specially bequeathed to herin the will. The usual course is that taken by the heirs of the late Mrs. A. Stewart, who sold all her enormous wardrobe to dealers in second-hand clothes. Though little was said about it at the time, a good many society women took occa- sion to purchase certain things through the dealers, but generally handkerchiefs, stock ings, silk underwear and gloves, which would not be — and which they ot very cheaply. There is a woman on th avenue who makes a business of buying the wardrobes of dead women, and who is fast making a fortune out of the bargains she gets. Most of her customers who purchase goods from her have no idea of the real secrets of her trade. She is ostensibly a dealer in im- ported goods, and has certain French and En- glish boxes and cases Into which she packs many of her goods and selis them as new. She will take the whole wardrobe of the deceased, new avd old, good and bad, and then this oes through a careful process of selection. The new things, or those nearly so, which are really imported or have that appearance, she packs into foreign cases, and ties them up daintily and disposes of them to rich customers. Many a time a woman bas come to her and said: ‘‘I want to find something— stockings, gloves or what not—like some I once saw Mrs. Quelquechose have. See if you can find them for me.’’ And the dealer has in course of time sent her a note saying that she has found 2 very near what she asked for. In reality they are Mrs. Quelyue- chose’s own, and the dealer had them ali the while. The rae that are new or nearly new she sells to the dressmakers, who freshen them up a bit and sell them to out of town customers, and that was the way the poor Chicavo woman got hers. She went and bought it honestly as an imported dress from her own dressmaker. As it had ever been worn but once, it looked perfectly fresh. Then the dealer has alist of customers who are perfectly familiar with the real nature of her trade. They are mostly women who are struggling to keep their places in society, with lean purses and a great desire to keep up ap- pearances. They keenthe runof her place and getsome bargains, because though the things they buy are somewhat worn, they are worth the money for the good Parisian cut and style. They buy from her black and inconspicuous gowns that are like those worn a dozen other women and are not likely to be recognized, and sometimes they have them made over at home and buy them for the sake of the good material in them. There is a third class of the wornout and — clothes, bunnets, shoes and general belongings which are sold in a lump to the second-band dealers in the Bow- ery. And so all the pretty frills and fancies of the dear dead women of our households be- come scattered to the far winds, worn by her friends, her enemies, her servants, st and women whom in life she would have turned her eyes away from as she There is something very pathetic me, in such dispersal an intimate personal possessions woman. e old wuy was best.

The recent campaign, with its charges and counter charges of bribery, fraud and cor- ruption of the suffrage, has turned the atten- tion of all interested in honest elections to the new ballot law, which isto go into opera- tion next fall. Much is hoped from its suc- cessful workings, and all parties profess to believe that they will be gainers by ite use. It is popularly known asthe Australian ballot system, for its adoption has been most com- plete and its operation most successful in that country. Much has been said and writ- ten on the subject, but the actual operation of the system as described by an eye witness and one thoroughly acquainted with the subject may be of interest. Toobtain this informa- tion an interview was obtained with a dis- tinguished Australian now in this city, and his views are given below: It has been said thatthe new system will lead to confusion and delay at the polls. Has this been the case In Australia?’’ was the first question. Not at all. Each voter as he passes into the voting room is handed a ballot, upon which are printed the nantes of all the candli- dates.

None but the elec- tion officers and those about to vote are al- lowed within a specified distance of the poll- ing booth. Very little work is done near the polls in the Interests of the several candidates; it may be said none at all. The campaign is conducted much the same asin the States, by means of meetings, pampbh and flyers. Work at the polls 1s impossible, and it does not pay to work at the distance prescribed by law. Has the attempt ever been made to issue, previous to election, a ballot similar to that igsued by the State, but already markod, thus controlling the party vote for the party can- didates?’’ Even were it im - the numbering each ballot as given out, revent the snccessful issue forged 4 P think no difficulty will found on that score. In regard tothe nominations, all who desire to be candidates offer themselves as such, and it a sufficient number of voters sign their petitions, their names are pl upon the official ballot, without K- to themselves or their lands. The different parties do not bold caucuses, but the members signify by the 7 titions and in other ways whom they want te represent their party in the election. One of the leading dailies has such influence that it practically controls the nominations of the it represents in the d This does not lead, as of candi. election, down to two candidates for each office. A provision of the law is also instramental in reventing needless contests, and serves to coop the fist within reasonable bounds. No man’s name may be put upon the ballot with- out his consent; but if it be put upon the ticket and he fails to receive one-fifth of the total number of votes cast, he is obliged to ayafine. This fine or assessment, usually 258. but varying according to the importance of the office sought, partiaily reimburses the State for the extra expense put er it by the candidate’s fruitiess contest.

From the Springfield Republican. Laurence Oliphant, whose death is an nounced, although sometimes a British of- ficial, was essentially a character of romance. Wherever he appeared, whether as boy in Hindustan, negotiator with Indians in Canada, war correspondent beyond the Caucasus, member of Parliament, spiritual mystic in Western New York, brilliant figure in Man- hattan society or dreamer ofa Jewish restor- ation to the Holy Land, he brought with him that stimulus the imagination that al- ways attends certain characters. He was himeelf more remarkable than anythi he did, although he showed great practical of ficiency in various posts; and he roused ex- pectation of great achievement but to disap- point it. Oliphant knew himself at the last and aptly characterized himself as a — stone. With his parts he should have an important man, but he lacked continuity ot purpose, just as he lacked certainty of con- viction. e resembied in some respects the extraordinary Gordon, and may stand with him, though at a distance, as a type of the ro- mantic Euglishmaa, who from the days of Richard the Lionbearted has been in the front of picturesque and adventurous characters. Laurence Oliphant was the eon of Sir An- thony Oliphant, O. B., for many years chief justice of Ceylon, and of a family of Norman descent.

EVER since the cry of *‘kenol’’ was heard ac- companied by ejaculations of disgust from halt a bun- dred disappointed players who were within a ‘‘but- ton of filling their oard when the fatal cry an- nounced that some lone individual had secured the prize for which the many had eagerly hoped,placing button after button on the numbers corresponding with those announced in shrill tones by the crier, has St. Louis had so many public gambling resorts as now. Faro is dealt, but cautiously and never twice in the dame place, and during the past fortnight four ‘well-known St. Louisans broke the bank of “one of the oldest gambiers in the Mississippi Valley who flourished publicly in East St. Louis until a little more than a year ago, when the authorities there raided and closed the faro banks for good. Only a select few are given the tip when and where there is to be a quiet little seance over the green cloth, forthe dealers stand in wholesome dread of the law and are not bold enough to risk a raid. Draw poker isan epidemic and no one pays any attention to it. There are dozens of **professional’’ and innumerable private games going on every night, but there is nothing about any of them to attract more than passing attention. Low ‘‘crap’’ dives flourish principally in the negro quarter, where the dusky brothers assemble nightly to equander their quarters, dimes and nickels d quatt poor gin, and within twerfty feet of the bime-coated, brass-buttoned conser- “wator of the public peace can be heard the peculiar Shouts of the devotees ofthe game. Thereis but one white man’s crap game in the city, however, and that ie located in ‘‘Gamblers’ Alley, between Sev- enth and Eighth and Pine and Olive streets. There is a saloon below and a stairway leading tothe ‘‘crap dive“ is hidden by a heavy oaken door, at which stands a sentinel with the key that opes the portal. Without his aid none can enter. Up a narrow, dirty stairway, round a small hallway, and a scene is wit- nessed which would startle the staid and cir- cumspect citizen far more than he can imag- ine. Asmall, close room, darkened windows and a glaring street electrical light burning might and day, a rough deal table, behind which stands the ‘‘proprietor’’ or his repre- sentative, feigning that he is there to main- tain order, but signally failing to do go, the room filled to its utmost capacity with men whom age bas marked with wrinkles deep and tinged their hair with ay Gown to the callow youth who mervously looks toward the door as each new comer enters for fear ne will be detected in the company he despises, and yet is drawn in- e — the sone g. ng, swearin an ushed with the fever of 7 ckle favor or id with the sickening realization that the doliar of bis own, and perhaps a few not his own have been lost, and ne is on the brink ofexposure and disgrace.

RAPID GROWTH OF 8TUD POKER. But the game which is just now in the mscendency is stud poker. Prior to the de- cision that the authorities could not break down a door in raiding a gambling- house the ng e fared very poorly. Raids of su frequent occurrence that the re of the few rooms in the city found ificult matter to eke out an existence. raid cost them from 850 to 61860, and they raided twice and three times in a Not only w these raids a rain on the ‘‘bank’s’’ exchequer ut the players, who were in hourly dread o and exposure, were made up ofa not over well 2 with funds. room on Seventh street nearly ine house was the last to give he be ahth „ and can ed out any night by the tell-tale ains and bright lights shining from all others dove at hours w er uires money in larger sums than the — cooker after profit and excitement at ami table can eit profitable to — ers homeward with the full realization that a family awaits bis arrival with the money for their support and he has lost it. The fas- cination isso strong upon him that the fol- lowing week finds him back in the web trying to 1 ven, with the same poor luck, an the final result ts a destitute family. With the clerk it is the same story as to losses, the onl variation being in the outcome, which is usually disgrace and downfall, and not in- 1 — crime. The game is simple enough to lookat. Any pumber, or as many as can crowd about the table can play at the same time. The table is usually from ten to fifteen feet long andtwo to three feet wide. The dealer sits in the center, where a curved slice-out has been made 0 admit him. In front of him is the check Rach, man layeracard face one he deals to so that the payee can see four cards, but must guess what the other one, called the ‘buried card’’ is. The rules governing win- oo hands are the same asin draw poker, an there are the same chances for . A veteran sport of the interest attached to said: It seems strange that with four cards exposed a man can bluff at this game, but it in a fact. You can make a player catch his breath by judicious bluffing at stud poker, where at draw you could not hase him. There’s nothing in it, I know, ut 1 like to play it for the excitement. It is far more fascinating and dangerous than faro or draw,.’’ CHANCES FOR CHEATING. The meaning of ‘‘brace game’’ as applied to faro is pretty generally known even to the novice. While all games of stud poker are not on the ‘‘brece’’ order, all that is requisite to make them such is a dealer capabie of handling the cards and afew stool pigeons in the game. The cards are not in a box as in faro but In the hands of the dealer, and the attention of the paves is absorbed in watch- ing the cards of his opponents of whom there may be twelve or fifteen, and at the same time keeping an eye on his own. The inference is plain. The dealer has ample time to **fiash’’ a card toa pal“ orto slip one from top to bottom. The only thing to prevent him from cheating is honesty and pangs of conscience, and he is not, as a rule, sorely affiicted with either ofthem. There are many tricks resorted to by ‘‘brace’’ _stud dealers. The expert will clumsily drop cards into the check rack, and it would be impossible to 1 as to whether he picks them up just as they fell ornot. Inan offhand way he con- veys information to bis stool-pigeons as to their chances for winning, and they act ac- cordingly oe in or dropping out, as the case may be. hen a greenhorn wins a pot“ it is a fayorite scheme for the dealer to ‘‘ac- cidentally’’ knook the chips on the table into the bank’s check-rack, and when he picks them out there is nothing to prevent making a mistake of a dollar or two and suok mistakes are always one way—in favor of the house. The various rooms in the city are, however, ed as to quality of patrons, judgin troin those who frequent them, and in some there is robably less likelihood of being fleeced than n others. But the novice who enters one of these dives can rest assured that the reason why he is not fleeced is because the oppor- tunity is lacking. WHAT THE DETECTIVES SAY. The detectives, who are pretty well posted as to the effect of various gambling devices, regard stud poker as the worst ofall. A well- known detective says: ‘‘We have always made it a point to break up stud poker when- ever and wherever found, and have waged war against it more vigorously, perbaps, than against the games of draw. It is not only a pitfall for those who cannot afford to lose their money and who bring sor- row upon their bomes by so doing, but where you fina stud poker you will usually find a re- sort and rendezvous forthe criminal classes of the city. It is a pretty easy matter to sup- press stud ker by constant raiding, but at present, with noright to break into a room where you know a game is going on, nothing can bedone. All of the stad-poker rooms are cet Magee with heavy doors, witha lookout ole, and the approach of an officer could announced in ample time forthe dealer to hide all evidences of guilt and it would be im- possible to make acase. The effect of this ruling is shown in the wonderfui growth in the number of stud poker rooms in the city. There has not been a raid of any kind since the decision was rendered, and it is not likely there will be un- less the cause is reversed by a higher court. Meantime the Juggernaut stud poker must flourish and its victims suffer, I presume.’’ ALWAYS READY FOR A GAME. Material for plucking frequently becomes scarce during the week, but a ‘‘sucker’’ can always get a game. Let an outsider drop Into one of these resorts at any hour of the night. There may be nothing going on at the time but he will find halt a dozen loungers who wil rise from their chairs as he comes in, and without addressing him or apparently noftc- ing him, will eee to play, Iwhile the dealer will industriously shuffle the cards and rattle the — The stranger may have a large or small amount of money when he comes in, but the longer he remains the less he will have. It there are six playing he has just one chance in six to hold his own, with the dealer against him. he can watch the dealer and the players and do it successfully then he is a remarkable man. He-wonders why it is that some one invariably ‘‘draws out on him. Perhaps the dealer might ex- plain that peculair phenomenon to him, but he will not, The stranger is not given an op- rtunity to discover that he bas been play- og against everybody in the room, for when he is broke the dealer or an attache of the room announces: 1 goin’ to close now. Everybody out. If he could regain access to that room and witness the division of the spoils he would not be so liable to return forthe purpose of winning back what he has lost. A PECULIAR PROPOSITION. Tam afraid the law is too lenient,’’ com- plained a local sport, and believe I wouid prefer an occasional raid. The fact has gone abroad that gambling is again virtually per- mitted in St. Louis, and the ‘‘shoe-string’’ fraternity are flocking to St. Louis from every direction. Few of them ap r to have any money, but as it costs very little to start op 14 stud poker game, they all want to get into the business.

The Paving-Stone Structure Built by Cab- men on Olive Street. There is no place in the West End into which the average boy desires more to gain entrance and be placed on a visiting footing than in the cabman’s cabin, or ‘‘Iadaho Mansion,’’ situ- ated on the vacant lot on the northside of Olive street opposite 8212 and 382314. Oab drivers arenot generally considered as re- markably original except in the calculation of their fares which are always placed at the maximum. During the winter season it is not uncommon to see a‘‘cabby’’ flapping his arms across his breast, as if he was about t o give vent to a chanticleer’s warble or dancing a double shuffle on an icy pavement. These manoeuvers are the warming methods commonly ind uiged in, in order to keep the blood in circulation and keep warm. e cabmen of the Mound City Cab Co. are original and treat with con- Ea — 7. >= —“ a — —— — = R **Jdaho Mansion. tempt such amateurish methods. On the north side of Olive, just beyond Thirty-sec- ond street, the cabs of the company line the curb all day and all night. The chill winds rushing across the vacant lot at that point are marrow congealing, and the luckless jehus were wont to stay by their teams and take it. On the lot adjoining are big piles of granite street-paving blocks in a quiescent state. An- ticipating the chilling blasts of winter, a cau- cus of drivers was held one chilly evening. „Dad Prescoe was the temporary Chairman Joe McGilenn, Bert Knapp, B. W. Baber and ‘*Burton’’ completed the meeting, It was then and there decided that something must be done to defy old Boreas and extract the sting from his breath. A brilliant idea was promulgated. Why not tackle those paving blocks and dulld a shanty? It was agreed to. No architect was em- ployed. Sue plumb line and ievel were not rought into use, but a mess of mortar was borrowed from a building in course of con- struction and the ‘‘cabbies’’ began to erect their mansion. On the north side the wall was made 1 yard thick while the sides and front measure about eighteen inehes through. Enough bricks were gathered on the lot to build a fine fire- place and chimney. An old fire grate was in- serted, a door bung and two panes of glass put in the front wall, in order to obtain a southern exposure. The tnterior was fur- nished with bright lithographs, proclaiming the merits of favorite chewing tobacco, a few soap boxes and a bench. This all occurred afew weeks ago and to-day they bask in the firelight and swap juicy stories while awaiting prospective ‘‘fares.’’ A little framed sign protrudes from the door- way, containing the words, ‘‘Idaho Maa- sion,’’ christened thusly by one of the festive jehus, who halls from that section of the country. Atnotime during the dayor nightis the mansion closed. he proprietors keep ror petual open house and the dancing firelight sheds cheer gieams through he recessed window panes, informing the chiliy wayfarer of the whereabouts of the pre- siding genil of the string of coupes and cabs, while t oe eee occasionally un- bends his noble form, as the echo of his res- onant cudgel fades away in the distance, mounts himself upon a disused saponaceous receptacle and woos the chill ofthe night air from his bones and ligaments. Moisture in Houses. It is stated thatthe sudden change of the weather recently from cold to warm and damp, observes the Philadelphia Tunes, has caused thousands of dollars of damage to wall paper and other articles in houses. Of course it has, and it is sosimply because many people do not study the plainest common sense prin- ciples in airing their houses. ne evening lately people went to bed with a bunt for extra blankets because of the sud- den and severe chill in the atmospbere. When they rosein the morning, their bed- rooms, pariors, dining-rooms, etc., were yet chilly from the cold of the 2 — day, while the outside atmosphere had suddenly ome not only warm, but hot and oppressive with dampness. Inconsiderate people opened their windows and doors because the weather was warm, for- getting that the excessive moisture in the at- mosphere would rush in with the warm air and swiftly deposit itself on the cold walls, furniture, etc., and penetrate wall papers, curtains, bedding, and everything witbiu reach that presented a surface colder than the air that carried it into the bouse. Of course the moisture loosened and discol- ored paper; made curtains as limp as a wash- rag; made beds damp and musty, and gener- ally spoiled everything that water could spoil; but all could have been avoided by following the plain, common sense rule of not opening houses suddenly to suddenly changed atmos- phere, carrying an excessive quantity of moisture. . A pitcher filled with cold water and placed in a room in summer will ‘‘sweat’’—at least that is what it is commonly called. The pitcher does not sweat, because it is not por- ous and cannot swea ; but the cold water in- side of it chills the outer surface, and, as soon as the outer surface of the pitcher becomes colder than the atmosphere in the room the moisture of the air will precipitated upon the pitcher in drops.

They have noticed with pride that rates have gradually changed from 80 much per hundred pounds on first,second and third class freight to so much and a half on same character of freight, and that there isa prospect for the consolidation of all great trunk linesand feeders, whereby rates will ultimately reach so much and three-fourths per hundred pounds with all responsibility and the entire onus resting on the shipper. But there has been much curiosity feit, es- pecially by the laity, as to how newspapers were meeting the law, aud what methods were employed in preserving an armed pentrality between the press.and the rods with- out the use of passes. Of course the general taxpayer recognizes the fact that the locomo- tive and the perfecting press go hand In hand, so to speak, having as I may say grownup as boys and girls together, so it is generally be- lieved that there is atacit understanding be- tween them wherepy the press can swap kind words for transportation and still dodge the penitentiary. But how is it done? Simply by keeping a running account and by the use of asystem of debits and credits be- tween the road andthe paper, so that it is only a business transaction and notan evasion ofthelaw.

In this way an editor who cultivates asunny disposition may scoot up and down over the whole broad land eating wormless cooking apples and throwing the debris under the seat of the man who does not advertise. In this way general good feeling is prese rved; the tax-payer as represented in Congress, feels that all is well, and the editor whose money is — in non-taxable bonds or the rust and burglar proof treasury of a land which is more preferable than this, feels con- tented, while the railrvad continues to drag out a miserable existence, borrowing a few dollars now and then to pay a dividend with and reading pleasant notices of its prosperity from time to time in the columns of the paper, its attention having been called to them by some one.

The Former Empress of France as & Dressmaker—Her Great Skill atthe Art — The Queen of Saxony’s Preserves— Some Queens Who Are Authors — The Princess of Wales Makes Bonnets, Special Correspondence of SUNDAY PosT-DIsPaTcu. Paris, December 24. MEDITATE often on the way in which the royal ladies of Europe pass their leisure hours, for the duties of their station, the time taken up in receptions, and draw- ing rooms, and drives, : and entertainments, a 7 to say nothing of the 1 N labor of making N several tollettes a day, cannot by any means fill up all their time. It is to be imagined that Queens and Princesses, like ladies of less exalted rank, musteach have some favorite occupation to while away the hours that else would seem interminable. For instance, the Empress Eugenate used to be extremely fond of dressmaking. Not that she cut out and fit- ted and sewed her gowns with her own impe- rial fingers. She held inthe sewing rooms at the Tuileries the same position that Worth, or in factany one of the great dressmakers of Paris maintains in his or her establishment. She gave directions, and superintended the carrying out ot her ideas. A corps of trained workwomen and of sewing- machine operators were engaged to put her plans into execution. The materials were sent directly from the great siik manufactories of Ly- ons, and in many instances were woven expressly to order. The work-rooms were situated on the floor above the private apartments of the Empress. A tiap-door, cutin the ceiling of her boudoir, permitted of the lowering from the room above of a mannikin, arrayed in a newly completed toilette, so thatthe Empress could inspect it without going up-stairs. One of these figures was mounted on wheels. It was constructed for the display of oourt-mantles and for dresses made with long trains. One of the ladies in waiting used to draw it around the room by means of a cord, so that the f * of Italy. effect of the tollette when the wearer was in motion could be noted. Will it be believed that this perfectly harmless occupation added a very unneeded increase to the unpopularity of the Empress? The story of the sewing- room and the sewing machines got abroad, and Parisian society stigmatized t pastime itself, as well as the economy that had appa- rently dictated it, as altogether unroyal. THE ENGLISH PRINCESSES. | The princesses of the royal family of En- — 4 are very accomplished ladies, and ave each more than one resource against ennul. The Empress Frederick of Germany was noted, even asthe young Princess Royal of England, for her skill as an artist. She paints landscapes in oil and models little figures and groups in clay with more than an amateur’s talent. Her sister, the Princess Beatrice, executes groups of flowers charmin in water <a Christian) is an admi- rable musician and / was on intimate terms of friendship with Jenny Lind, who to the last hours of her life used to give advice and indications Zlizabeth of Austria. about singing to the Princess.

HAT Viadivostok is of great interest to the rest of the world is clear,and chiefly so to England and the United States,as the two powers with most at stake in the Pacific, for exactly the game reasons that it is of importance to Russia, namely, es the one great naval stronghold and base from which Rus- sian ironclads could issue in time of war to tall upon their enemies in the Pacific, and to which they could return for supplies, for re- pairs or for refuge, Is ita great stronghold? Could it defy a hostile fleet? Is it provided with the necessaries of an efficient naval base? Does it, as its name dedlares, help those who hold it to ‘‘the possession of the East?’’ Let us see. The last so-called scare showed exactly what would be done at Viadivostok in case of war. The tights on Skrypleff Island in the > 3 5 . — os 4 „ } a 9 * 1 me Ny ate” oa 3 gc eee Ge, 4 en N 1 ¢ 8 « risk once for all. It was natural and explica- ble enough on the part of THE RUSSIANS but itis an innovation far from welcome to the greater part ot any foreian fleet, which must remain knocking about outside at gun practice or steam tactics while the flagship and one other vessel are comfortably an- chored and politely entertained within. The impression made by the rank and file of the land forces at Vladivostok is that of soldieis who have been on active service for six months, long enough to have grown careless about the powers of leather and steel and the details of personal care which go to make 1 the much admired ‘‘smartness’’ of thecrack regiments. Their clothes are soiled and coarse, their boots are unbiacked and ns look as it they had seen several campaigns. But the men themselves are happy and hardy, the picture of physical well-being and content. They are mostiy much younger than troops with us, and they are evidently drawn from the lower classes of a farming population. Their winter barracks are spacious and hand- some buildings, but their summer barracks, several miles Inland by the shore of a beauti- ful part of the Amur Bay, are rather ramshackle, and if the truth is to be much dirtier than the Britis Atkins would de satisfied to live in. ut I spent a jolly even- in with them, and shared their very pal- ‘table if frugal supper of biack bread, potato soup and Kvass—a kind of thin bitter beer. They would certainly make excellent rough fighting materiai—all the better for war work in this far-off hard country because they do not know what it is to be petted or pampered in time of peace. In fact, peace means per haps more hard work for them than war, for their wea — Ay employed on building fortifications, m ng bricks, and several other occupations that are not included in the military curricu- lum elsewhere, very much like common labor ers. The following estimate of their numbers at Viadivostock is not far frem the mark: Two battalions of infantry, 2,000; artillery, 3850; sappers, 250; total, on peace footing, 2,600 men. This ts Goubtiess much smaller t an is —— supposed, but the tendency is to istribute the forces all over this part of East- ern Siberia, and only to collecta large num ber at Viadivostok in times of danger. Then robably from twelve thousand to fifteen ousand men would be concentrated here. THE OFFICERS on the whole strike me as a fine body of men, — 22 — and intelligent. But they must suffer intellectually from being cut off by the strict Russian censorship laws from the infor- mation which circulates 80 freely elsewhere. The growing importance, by the way, of the stronghold in Russian Tartary,is shown by the fact that officers are no longer liberally pen- sioned for short service here and elsewhere on the Siberian Ooast.Officers used to elect to serve in Siberia, and after ten years’ service were entitled to retire upon haif-pay, and twenty years’ service upon full-pay. For ser- vice in European Russia, on the other hand, retirements upon full-pay comes only after thirty-five years’ service. Fall-pay in Rus- sia, however, does not mean the same as elsewhere. A Russian officer’s total military income is made of three 3 pay proper, lodging allowance and table money, in the prope ion that a total income of say over ,000 roubles a year, a lieutenant’s pay would mean only 1,400 roubles of pay proper. Halt- ay for him, therefore, after ten years in 81 a would be 700 roubles, and full-pay 1,400 roubles. These liberal terms of pension nat- urally made service in Siberia popular, but the whole system of naval pension was altered a year ago, and the above only applies now to officers who entered the navy before last year. An occasional officer here speaks a lit - tle English, several speak French, and almost all speak more or less German. THE RAILWAY. The coming transcontinental raiiway from 22 to Vladivostok is just nu lng to be the chief topic of conversation here and in- eed an interesting topic all over the East. ut so far asI can make out, some misconcep- tions prevail about it.

Heyer NORMAN. TWO ASTRONOMICAL EXPEDITIONS. Harvard College Is to Send Them Out to Ob- serve the Eclipse of the Sun. From the New York Sun. Harvard College bas just completed prepa- rations for two astronomical expeditions of the highest importance. The first in the order of time will be an expedition to Cali- fornia for observation of the total eclipse of the sun, which occurs January 1, 1889. One of the observers will start immediately after the date of the eclipse to Peru, taking with him a part of the apparatus. There he will be joined later by others, and the work will be entered upon which has been a year or more in contemplation of making a complete survey of the southern heavens, upon the plan already carried into effect at Cambridge as respects the parts of the sky there visibie. In Oalifornia the party will take a position near the town of Willow, in the Sacramento Valley, the observing ttation having an al- titude of 2,000 feet above the sea level. The Coane from San Francisco is about 200 miles. The party will consigstof W. H. 1 A. Lawrence Rotch, Samuel Bailey, E. 5. King and Robert Black. Mr. Rotch has already mors that a national reputation as a meteor- ologist, and it will de in that line that his serv- ices will be rendered. The other three have been for some time active assistants at the Observatory, and are well practiced in the manipniation of apparatus and familiar with the working methods of the institution. Many instruments of subordinate service are com- prised in the equipment. Among these are a five-inch and a _ four-inch hotographing camera of the ordinary ind. hese, marked with quick plates, will be used for picturing the * of the outer region of the Corona, and the sky at a distance from the sun. One of these will be operated ata con- siderable height above that of the observing station of the party. Each produces an image of one-quarter inch diameter. The other quadrupiex instrument ie for measuring the brightness of the corona, and is an ingenious plece of apparatus, a primary feature of which isa perforated plate, having, perhaps, 1,000 minute apertures for the passage of separate shafts of light, any one of which may be used for the purpose of observation. An important part of the work will be pho- tography of the spectrum, for which very complete apparatus jg provided. There will be two other important observing stations established in the pathway of the totality. One of these will be that of Lick Observatory. The site of that observatory is out of the path of totality, and its staff of observers will take the field and occupy a position a consider- able distance to the eastward of that of Har- vard. Prot. Davidson of the National Coast Survey will have charge of an expedition gotten up at rivate expense, and will occupy a station in Nevada. ith the ending of the eclipse a part of the apparatus of the Harvard College expe- dition will be continued. in service in Cali fornia, namely, the tbirteen-inch and the eight-inch Boyden telesco „ This, how- ever, is for purposes outside of the work of the observatory, but stili within the province of astronomical science, Certain wealthy and n friends of the University of Southern lifornia propose to set — 2 a first-class ob- servatory for it which shall rival the Lick Observatory, and excel it in one point, in having a larger telescope. The great Lick in strument ts of thirty-six-inch aperture, That which will be made for the university named will be of forty inches. ‘The selection of a site for this purpose is of greatimportance. As contributory to this end the two Harvard in- struments named will be put into service for a ear on Wilson’s Peak, 6,000 feet high, in outhern California. Here they wi operated experimentally for tbe period named, after which they will be taken to Peru and placed inthe permanent observatory of Harvard there to be established. The enterprise there to be begunis the es- tablishment of an adjunct observatory, to be ermanent and to co-oporate inthe southern hemisphere with the work of Harvard Oollege Observatory and in the same lines and acord- ing to the same plan. One of the assistants will leave Cambridge for the West in about a week from this date in charge of the apps- rat us. The rest ot the party will strrtin the latter part of the month. THEY ENTERTAINED THE BUTLER. How Lord Sackville’s Servant Impersonated the British Minister. From the Baltimore American. A story current in Washington last winter in regard to Lord Sackville was that on one occasion, early in the season, his trusted but- ler asked for and obtained permission to visit Baltimore forafew days. immediately upon his arrival there he drove to one of the lead- ing hotels and registered as Hon. Lionel Sack- ville West. An hour or two later a note was banded to him, in which the writer stated that, although rsonally unacquainted with the British Minister they were desirous of extending to bim the hos tality of their house during his stay, and closed with an invitation that he would be their guest at dinner that evening. This invitation was accepted by the butler who arrayed himself in full dress attire an actually attended the dinner, where through- out the evening he maintained his assumed character with such cleverness that neither his entertainer nor the guests asked in his honor ever suspected that he was other than —ç what he represented himself to be, the J inister Plenipotentiary from the Court of St. ames.

LOUISANS. The Last Week of the Holidays—A Week of safe-cracking episode, linked with a conventional and somewhat wearisome melodrama at Pope’s and a sensational American melodrama at the Standard, the local stage dealt in - familiar attractions last week. But the old attrac- tions drew better than a great many new ones this season. “Le Voyage en Suisse“ and Hoyt’s ‘‘Hole in the Ground seemed t closely the measure of the public taste for light en- tertainment, while The Ivy Leaf’’ filled the demand for romance and Irish humor, 4 The number of opera companies giving grand operainthis country outside of New York ig excessively limited. The stupendous enterprise of the American and afterwards the National Opera Co. fell of its own weight and through rotten management of the Loeke type. Out of that enterprise has arisen a new America opera company trimmed down to a business basis in point of numbers. It is under the management of Gustav Hinrichs, who was one of the musical directors of the former enterprise. What Mr. Hinrichs aims to do and what he is credited with doing is to give the best operas in the English lauguage completely and hand- somely with excellent singers, good chorus, complete orchestra, ballet and all the necessary adjuncts of a rounded opera organi- gation. The aim is to secure a satisfactory ensemble, to present the operas of the master composers in a style which will make the production richin enjoyment, but which will not place it beyond the means of the average theater goer. The company includes well-known artists, among them Louise Natali, who may almost de called a St. Louis singer, having begun her career here and who is credited with eminent success since leaving this city, Clara Poole, Cora Meacham, Charles Bassett, Alonzo E. Stoddard, Frank Vetta, Adelaide Randall, Lizzie Mao- nichol, Fanny Gonzales, William Castile, E. N. Knight, Thomas Ebert and many others. altogether numbers ninety artists, with Mme. Pione, the premiere dan- seuse, at the head of the ballet. The St. Louis engagement of the company will commence on Monday evening at the Olympic, and the followin 1 will be given during the week: onday, ‘‘Il Trovatore;’’ Tuesday, ‘*Maritana;’’ Wednesday matinee, Bohemian Girl;’’ Wednesday evening, La Traviata;’’ Thursday, Daughter of the Regiment ;’’ Fri - day, Faust; Saturday matiaee, ‘*Mari- tana, and Saturday eveaing. The Masked Ball, which will be given for the first time in this city. The prices for the week will be popular opera prices, ranging 50 cents to $1.50. This company appeared at Philadeiphia dur- ing the entire summer, gaining a brilliant financial and artistic success. he newspa- pers there praised it highly asa splendid or- ganization and In other cities where the com- pany has appeared it has received strong com- mendation. The organization, therefore comes to St. Louis with excellent promise of giving a delightful week of opera. Frederick Warde, the tragedian, will open an engagement at the Grand Opera- house this evening in one of the strongest of his roles and plays, Galba, the ladiator.’’ Mr. Warde has firmly established his rank among the tragedians, and his annual engagements here are notable events of the season. Instead of being satisfied with the same plays which constitute the annual round of a star tragedian he is constantly adding to them and is thus giving new attractions tothe pub- lic and is testing his own versatility. ‘‘Gal- ba, as those who have seen it know, is to- tally different from ‘‘Spartacus’’ in all re- spects, presenting a Docian slave during the rise of Christianity at Rome in a series of be- roic and somber episodes. It is very stron dramatically. On Monday, Tuesday ant Wednesday evenings Mr. Warde will appear in the great historical ptay, William Teil;’’ on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings Mr. Warde will present The Mountebank,’’ while at the Wednesday matinee ‘‘Gaston Cadal’’ will be the bill, with a strong attrac- tion for the Saturdsy matinee.

The spectacie was first produced at the Chicago Opera-house on Christmas Eve. It made a hit in Chicago, and was praised without stint by the Chicago papers. It was produced un- der Mr. Kiralfy’s personal supervision with new spectacies, marches and bDallets of his own invention, and scenery painted and cos- tumes designed by the best European artists. The premiere danseuse will be Mile. Paris, and there will be several special acts by Euro- pean artists. The story is based on a legend of the Rhine, and is said to be magnificently illustrated by Mr. Kiralfy. The first perform- ance will be given to-night. The attraction at Pope’s for the week, commencing with a matinee this afternoon, will be Dan’! Sully in ie a plays, ‘‘Cor- ner Grocery’’ and Daddy Nolan. Mr. Sully has developed a new line of American drama, in which he has gained excellent success. He has taken the character of a hman who has — pant in trade and, placing him in his naturai surroundings, has su ed in giving clever characterizations and broad humor without descending to silly borse- play or suggestive vuigarity. He has also. suc- ceeded in touching genuine chords of pathos. Daddy Nolan! will open the — 4 and will continue until Wednesday night in- clusively, after which ‘‘The Corner Grocery’’ will hoid the stage for the rest of the week. Minstrelsy will rule at the Standard thie week. It will be given by an organization new to St. Louis,credited with success in this popu- lar line of amusement elsewhere. The i- zation is entitled Goodyear, Cook & Dilion’s Minstrels, and is said to be composed of clever exponents of minstreisy and to give a bright and entertaining programme, consist ot songs and dances, jialties and novel ures. The first performance will be given to- night. Gen. Harrison Enjoys Opera. M.

Comedian Florence Tells of His News- paper Career Before Going on the Stage. From an Interview in the Louisvilie Post. How long have you been on the stage, Mr. Florence?“ „Woll, sir, the 10th of next month will make it forty years. Iam 57 years old and began when Iwas quite young. Before going on the stage I did some work as a reporter on the New York Sun, and I guess I wrote the first newspaper interview ever written. I will tell you the story, provided you don’t print it. Iwas barely 16 years old and m duty consisted in going the hotels an copying the arrivals, There were then but four principal hotels and my task was not a very difficult one. I was also expected to watch the Tombs Court and make a note of any important fact with- out any comment whatsoever. Well, Mr. Pel- lew, the city editor, had heard that ex-Gov. Marshall was at the How House and directed me to go and find out something about his movements. I undertook it. After lounging around the office awhile I marched boldly up- stairs. big nigger, who, strange to say, did not know me, caught me by the seat of the pantaloons and the nape of the neck and slung me down-stairs, after having bumped me around against the wall for sev- eral minutes. However, I had 7 up a few pointers from the clerk, and went to my mother’s residence and wrote my inter- ‘view. Having finished it, I strode back to the Sun office—the builain now occu- pied by the Advertiser— —— boldiy up to Mr. Pellew’s desk and laid down my manuscript. It would have made about two sticks, and, oh! I was so proud of it. Icould just hear my heart throb with anxiety. Mr. Peilew read it and scowled. He walked across the room and showed it to Mr. Beach, the managing editor, who also read it and scowled. My soul sank within me. I saw them take my. precious ‘first effort,’ tear itup and drop the pieces into the waste- basket. My hopes were thoroughly blighted. I had proudly done the writing in my mother’s presence, and she shared in my ambition to see the ‘article’ in print, as up to that time I had only been allowed to take notes. When I saw the fruit of my labor and anxiety, to mj nothing of the big nigger at the hotel, thus wantonly de- stroyed, I was iiterally crushed, and my first thought was, What will mother think? The editor turned to me and said, ‘Mr. Florence’ (the boys all called me Billy), ‘Mr. Florence, is this the best you can do? Go down to the Tombs and copy the docket.” I was no longer satisfied to be a journalist; it was evidently not my size. Forty years on the stage 28 time. I might have been rich and abie to retire, but I am not. Many of my friends — to me, ‘Florence, why don’t you quit this? Wh don’t you retire?” They don’t seem to thin that 1 ‘don’t have to,’ as the boys say. I ben they think I’m doing this for fun, and auling my wife about the country in dusty stifling cars, going into cold theaters and third-rate hotels, traveling all 3 without sleep, ete. Great fun! I tell you 1 have to do it, though I think there are poe years of good work in me yet. I am in fine health and really don’t mind the hard work. I wish to present a few more characters that I have in mind before the curtain goes down.“ Clara Morris’ Idiosyncrasies. Freund in American Musician. Said an attache of the Park Theater one night last week as Clara Morris was nearing the con- clusion of her play: ‘‘It will be 12 o’clock before Miss Morris leaves the house. When the curtain falls on this act she will sob and scream all the way to her dressing - room and there she will sit for an hour rocking back and forth until she gets quieted down. Then she will put on her street costume and leave the theater. Apropos of this I shall never forget the first night of Jane Shore, Don Piatt’s play, at the Brooklyn Theater. Olara Morris was in- terested in the play and practically produced it. It was a failure, largely due to imperfect rehearsal and the most scandalous misman- agementit has ever been my misfortune to witness, Morris was frantic. Through the perform- ance, as she began to realize the inevitable result, her excitement became almost uncon- trollable. The curtain did not fall on the last act till nearly 1 o’ clock.

CHAPTER XV. -( Conclusion. ) HE found the wounded man lying in the front room upon arudely ex- temiporized couch of bear skins, he having sterniy declined the ef- feminacy of his wife's bedroom. In the possi- bility of a fatal termina- tion to his wound, and * 7 nin obedience to a grim -\ frontier tradition ne had also re- fused to have hisboots removed in order that he might ‘‘die with them on,’’ as become his ancestral custom. Johnny was therefore speedily made comfortable in the McKinstry bed while Dr. Duchesne gave bis whole atten- ‘tion to his more serious patient. The master gianced burriedly around for Mrs. McKinstry. Bhe was not only absent from the room, but there seemed to be no suggestion of ber pres- ence in the house. To his greater surprise the hurried tnquiry that rose to his lips was _ @hecked by a significant warning from the attendant. He sat down beside the now sleep- lug boy and awaited the doctor's return with his mind wandering between the condition of the little sufferer and the singular revelation that had momentarily es- caped his childish lips. It Johnny had actually seen Seth fire at McKinstry, the latter mysterious wound was accounted for dat not Seth’s motive. The act was 80 utterly incomprehensible and inconsistent with Seth's avowed hatred of the master that the boy must have been delirious. He was roused by the entrance of the sur- geon. It's not so bad as I thought, be said, with a reassuring nod. It was a mighty close shave between a shattered bone and a severed artery, but we've got the ball and he’ll pull through in a week.

The master assisted him with difficulty to hie elbow. „Gentlemen!“ said McKinstry with a char- acteristic wave of his crippled hand towards the crowd as he laid the other on the master’s shoulder, ‘*Ye heerd me talkin’ a minit ago; ye heer me now.

He's really quite out of danger now. Good night! I'll drop in on vou at the hotel when I return.’’ The master, albeit still confused and bew!ll- dered telt his way to the door and out into the open night. The wind was still des alringly wrestling with the tree tops, but the far reced- ing voices seemed to be growing fainter in the distance, until, as he passed on, they too seemed to past away for ever. Monday morning had come again, and the mas er was at his desk in the school-house early, with a still damp and inky copy of the Star fresh from the press before him. The free breath of the pines was blowing in the window, and bringing to bis ears the distant voices of his slowly gathering flock, as he read as follows: ‘*The perpetrator of the dastardly outrage atthe Indian Spring Academyon Thursday ca ii i, last—whicb, through unfortunate misrepre- sentation of the facts, led to a premature call- ing out of several of our most public-spirited citizens, and culminated in a most regretta- ble encounter between Mr. McKinstry and the accomplished and estimable principal of the school—bas, we regret tosay, escaped con- dign punishment by leaving the country with his relations. If, as is seriously whispered, he was also gull of an un- paralleled offense against a chivalrous code which willexclude him in the future from ever seeking redress at the Court of Honor, our citizens will be only too glad to get rid of the contamination of being obliged to arrest him. Those of our readers who know the high character of the two gentlemen who were thus forced inte a hostile meeting, will not be surprised to know that the mostample apologies were tendered on both sides, and that the entente cordiale has been thoroughly restored. The bullet—which it is said played a highly important part in the subsequent ex- planation, proving to have come from a re- volver fired by some outsider—hae been ex- tracted from Mr. McKinstry’s thigh, and he is doing well, with every prospect of a speedy recovery. Smiling albeit not uncomplacently at this valuable contribution to history from an un- fettered press, his eye feil upon the next para- graph, perhaps not so complacently: „Benjamin Daubigny, Esq., who left town for Sacramento on important business, not entirely unconnected with his new interests in Indian Springs, will, it is ramored, be shortly oined by his wife, who has been enabled by is recent good fortune to leave her old home in the States, and take her proper proud po- sition at hie side. Although personally un- known to Indian Springs, Mrs. Daubigny is spoken of as a deautiful and singylarly ac- complished woman, and itis to be fegretted that her husband’s interests will compel them to abandon Indian Springs for Sacramento as a future residence.

At one * time ite habitat ex- tended as far Tast as New Jersey. It is only a few years ago that several prairie chick- ens were killed in the central portion of that State, showing thatin an early period of the history of this conntry the prairie chicken was probably familiar with all the country embraced between the Atlantie Ocean and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The pinnated grouse is from 17 to 20 inches in length, ite color is blackish brown varied above and below with a light tawny color. The sides ot the neck are ornamented with little wing-like tufte of feathers, these are pinnated in shape, hence, the name of ‘‘Pin- nated grouse.’’ The under tail coverts are white and throat a yellowish color. During the breeding season of this bird there are some rare batties fought between the cock birds. They are like the veritable game cocks and fight until they have to lie down from weakness caused by the loss of blood and wind. It bas been said by some writers that the result of a fight between prairie chicken cocks does no damage. In some cases this may be true, but they certainly are great stayers when they get to fighting. The nest of this bird is made of grasses and is buiit in some sheltered nook. The eggs are of a brownish color, sometimes spottedand are from twelve to üfteen in number. It will be seen that itis notthe faultof the prairie chicken mother that we do not have a great quantity of this game for sbe lays a great many eggs and rears sometimes two broods ina season. The motber is very attentive to the little chicks from the moment they leave the shell, guarding them from danger and even sacrificing her own life that they may reach a place of safety. It may be proper here to add, that it our laws were somewhat more rigidly enforced we would havea greater abundance ofthis splendid game, for nature certainly does all she can to replace the woeful waste. THE SHOOTING SEASON. At the time when the first frost comes, if you are on the prairie chicken ground and have your arrangements made for a day’s sbootins and start an hour after sunrise, you will probably have splendid sport if the day is fair and still. You will get a little longer {Written for — range shooting in the hot August days, but it will be more than recompensed by the flight of the birds and the clean Kills that you will make later in the season. The grouse will be found a dosen or so together scattered within aradius of thirty or forty feet in front of you. Here the dogs will find them, and as you advance they will whirl up one after another at the crack of the gun to the right, to the left, in front, and sometimes get- ting up tothe rear of the shooter, and if the sporteman be a steady hand he will often bag from six to ten birds on one of these pointe. As the season grows later the birds become wilder, until there will be day after day in which it is almost 7 to get dog or shooter any where within shooting distance at such times. Ifthe sportsman has a full choke gun he may be able to get a bird now and then at a very long range. The prairie-chicken season opens about the middie of August, which is, in my opinion, at least twenty days too soon, for atthat time there are many birds only two-thirds grown. The weather is hot andethe birds are loath to take wing. They are A killed at this time, and being a large b and flushing ve near the shooter, they offer a very bros mark. The best time by all odds and the one that gives the sportsman the most satisfaction is to shoot the pinnated grouse after frost has come. Among the wa of following this game bird is to embark, so to speak, in a prairie schoonor, this is a spring wagon strongly built and large 2 usually to carry four shooters and the driver. his commodious vehicle holde all the uns, ammunition, water tor the shooters and dogs. In prairie shooting itis absolutely necessary to carry water so that one can shoot a whole day in a place where water ie Hkely to be scarce. The prairie schooner also should be rovided with an ice box which not only wu grateful to the shooter and the doge, ut ie a cool receptacie to keepthe gamein.

In St. Lou 8 to- day many of the Laveracks and English- Amerioan setters, not forgetting to mention the Gordons, are some of the bh — dogs and wide-ranging animals to be found in the United States. In fact, St. Louis has led for many years in the best dogs for prairie shooting. itis only recently that a 8t. Louis gentleman sold one of these Irie racers ata fivure running up above $1,000.

One of the nicest ways of cooking a prairie chicken is to broil it ten- derly and lovingly over the coals of a hard - wood fre. In lieu of this, an anthracite coal fire, after the gas is burned off is next best. It can also be made very edible by roasting ina hot oven and served as we would a turkey. 80 far as side dishes are concerned, the pi: nated ouse is the only one ot our gallinaceous irds that approaches the sameness of flavor and can be cooked as our domestic fowis are cooked and served, hence the excuse for uslug the frying-pan. THE GUN TO USE. The gun to use, or rather the one I would sugxest for shootins the pinnated grouse, is a 12-gauge of eight to eight and a half pounds’ weight, chambered fora 2%-inch shell. The cartridge should be made up of 8% drame of excellent powder, well wadedd, one ounce of shot with a cardboard on same; this will give a high muzzle velocity and will insure clean killing the bird is squarely bit, Later in the season the charge can be increased to 3% drames with one ounce of No. 7trapor7shot. Many men, boweyer, use much lighter guns, for in- stanse 12-gauge, while others adhere to the gauge of nine to ten and a half pounds weight, using five drams of powder and one and a quarter ounces of shot. Such a charge, bow- ever, is entirely unnecessary, as four to four and a half drams will be found to do the work well, and even better than a larger charge of powder.

The pyra- mid of Obeops is the most striking of these monuments, rising as it does about 480 feet into the air. It covers quite a bit of ground, too, for Pharaoh fully understood the necessity of providing a wide base for such a high structure. It is doubtful it any modern builder would feel like attempting such a job, on account of the expense. But Pharoah wasn’t particular in this matter. Material was cheap and he didn’t pay high wages. Egyptian laborers didn’t have any trades unions to help them ont in case of a strike. But in the matter of erecting a tall struct - ure, M.

The visitorto the French Exhibition may ride to the top of the Eiffel tower in an ele- vator and take a bird’s-eye view of Paris at a polnt almost a thousand feet above the exbi- bition grounds. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Eiffel tower will be by far the highest structure in the world. It presents a decidedly unique appearance, too—in gen- eral outline not unlike a stack of four gigantic muskets with their butts well and solidly spread and their bayonets joiningat their tips. The Eiffel tower stands in the Champ de Mars, almost on the left bank of the River Seine, just in the rear of the Qual d'Orsay, and in fact a part of its foundation is sunk through an old arm of the river, which has been filled in these many years. Its base covers a plot of ground $28 feet square, or nearlytwo and a half acres in extent. It is really at the base a group of four tow- ers,each nearly fifty feet square, placed at the corners of the plot oft ground, and inclining toward each other as they rise at an angle of 54 degrees. Each tower consists of four col- umns, bound together by truss work,and éach column restseon a masoury pier whieh is 80 built that the weight of the column rests upon it squarely and not at an angle. As the tower when comipieted will be 94 feet high, it will de seen that the matter of providing a solid foundation was one of great importance. The selection of the site was a matter which uired considerable close thinking, for the soil of the Champ de Mars has been disturbed a good many times during the past hundred years. The best spot was within a portion of the territory own by the state and was not obtainabié. There was a lot of boring and digging before the spot upon which the tower stands was finaily selected, The foundation reste upon a thick stratam of sand and gravel. It may be well to say, tor the benefit of those who think sand is a rather treacherous sort of qreses, that a bed of sand and gravel away under ground is prosty solid stuff. One of the towers of the Brook- lyn Bridge reste on that sort of base.

While the Eiffel tower was a stupendous conception, and will stand as completed the marvel of modern engineering, no new prin- ciples are involved in its construction. In fact,to an engineer, the most wonderful thing about the tower is its simplicity. The way ior the Hiffel tower, both in oa and execution, was paved, after a fashion, 4— work of the Garobit viaduct and the arses Bridge, both of which. were built by Eiffel.

It is an immense quadrilateral of brick, three stories high to the coping, with second and third roofs, arranged cruciform and mounting two stories above the main or outer roof. The only rooms in the building are those which are lighted from the exterior windows, at least one-half of the entire area beneath the cruef- form glass roofs constituting the enormous inner court, where the inauguration ball will take place. This is one of the most spacious patios in the world. It is paved with a teesellated floor and is a sauperbd hall. Here some very important conventions have already been held, and here the ai Post-office will be sheltered after the paguration ball until other quarters are provided.

Its sds ututious have been adopted; there are Twelfth Night comical- ities scattered through all the fes- tivals, but the festival itself is scarce- ly known at all to the people at large. To- day is Twelfth Day; so called because it is the twelfth day after Christmas. Itis a feast day of the Roman Catholic Church, and is there known as Epiphany. The feast was instituted in the fourth century, to commemorate the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles, — ~~ 7 — T. K. Hervey recently, and many antiqua- rians before him, have written care- ful comparisons ot Twelfth Night cus- toms with those of the Roman satur- nalia and show many common points. Quite as interesting would be the tracing in detail of all the oustoms of this festival through the American holiday celebrations. In Italy, according to Leigh Hunt, the festival is called Beffana and that name also is given to an old witch myth, who is supposed on the night to reward and punish the children by putting sweetmeats in the stockings of the good and stones in the stockings of the bad. The stockings are hung up for gifts, as at Christmas in the English-speaking countries. IN THE ENGLISH CLhLEBRATIONS at night lots are drawn for a King of Misrule,. who directs the festivities in his group and is for the night a veritable monarch. Such 4 custom might be dragged along by the ears until it stood on a parallel with the Rex, King Comus and Veiled Prophet of American cities. The wassall bowl has always been in great demand in England on this night, and indeed, that much abused basin is not supposed to be empty any time between December 2% and January 7, andthat isina much milder sense the merriment begins.

He is far from an ungenial man; indeed, baving + * often traveled with him under all kinds of cir- cumstances, and travel is a great test of man’s = * 5 e : 3 N tL Ss SS SS ae * * | gmiability, Ioan say truly that I never found a fellow-traveler more agreeable and more un- selfish. He carries into the smallest details of his life a high-bred courtesy which is a far “higher proof of his good birth and breeding than his descent from so many of the states- a men of Ireland and bis relationship to many of the best families in England. But he is dis- tinctly not an effusive man, and of all subjects that of which he least likes to speak is him- elt. It is doubtful if ever he spent a moment of his whole life in self-analysis, and if he ever did so he has certainly never communl- @ated the result to anybody. I was rather fortunate—when I a@ought to in- terview bim for the SuNnDaY Post-DIsPATCH— to find him at dinner. He was cating a sole, a . fish we have in this country which is al- most unknown in America. It is a delicate fish and is often recommended to invalids. I ’ gound that it was the one gish of which Mr. Parnell partook—a strong contrast to the hearty meal I used to see him take some years ago. Iasked him some questions about the State of his health, complimenting him on his greatiy improved appearance. This is the moment to confess what it would have been Improper to reveal at an earlier period. The fact is, we thonght a couple of years ago that Mr. Parnell had a very bad chance of ever re- covering. He used to come down to the House with a face heavily lined and ghastly pale. His walk was feeble and his eye had the _ glassiness of coming death. Joe Biggar is one of the sternest politicians that ever lived. There is no fate he would consider too bad for a political enemy and he has never Deen known to bend or soften or turn from any purpose upon which he bas fixed his iron will. But when Joe saw Parnell upon one of those bad days he retired to a quiet part of the House and had a cry that would have done \* oredit to a hysterical woman. I thought that * „ > 3 * * * =- vor Be rs he * 1 * . your readers would like to hear, therefore, from Mr. Parneli’s own lips, an account of bis Mines and his present state of health. MR. PARNELL TALKS ABOUT HIS HEALTH. „attribute my iliness, as that of most pub- lic men, he said, to three causes—eating too fast, eating sometimes too much and stopping in bed too long in the morning. Sir Henry Thompson undoubtedly understood my ease at once, as it is to his regimen that I largely owe my recovery. For many months Iscarcely ever touched butcher’s meat; my food consisted of fish. and game,and very little of either. Then I took a great deal of exercise, andi was taking a great deal until the commission and Parliament interfered with me.’’ „What kind of exercise do you take?’* „Well, sometimes I ride and sometimes I walk, and often on the ot same day I ride a good 8 deal and walk a good deal.

Tou will judge of that by the fact that 1 have ceased to attend the court.

As to the general charges brought against our organization and movement, that is a matter of speculation and, to some extent, of history, and a law court is no more com- tent to decide it than anybody else. Up to he present the Times has not got beyond a eneral description of the disturbed state of land.

Are the expenses of the Irish movement pane at the present moment or have they n diminished dy the adoption of the home rule principle by the Liberal party?’’ They have increased,’’ he said, for va- rious reasons. Indeed, you have just given one Of the reasons. The adoption of our prin- ciples by the great English party, by changing the whole situation, has considerably in- creased our labors and our expenditure. The demand for Irish members to speak at English meetings is universul; and the unanimous account 1 get is that their speeches do enormous service in ad- vancing the movement by dispelling ignor- ance and prejudice. We pay the expenses of ourmembers in traveling about the country out ot ourown funds. Then there has been an equally large demand for literature on the Irish 3833 We have had, accordingly, to establish a bureau for speakers and for litera- ture, which is known as the Irish Press Agency. That bureau provides the members forthe English meetings, and at the same time superintends the production of pam- hlets, leaflets, and even placards. Recently the ories have taken to covering the dead walls, especially when there is an election, with placards giving lurid and lying pictures of some of the tragic incidents in the agitation. It has been found necessary to counteract the influence of such things by giving pictorial representations of eviction and other scenes in the present regime. All this, too, costs money. The Irish Press Agency costs an- . rising, I am glad to say, to , 000. HOW EVICTED TENANTS ARE CARED FOR. . pee is the other great item of expendi- ure?’’ The fund for the evicted tenants. We have made it, as you know, a rule of our movement that no tenant who falls in a man- tul struggle against a bad iandlord shal! be neglected. We dulld him a house. We sup- ply him with a weekly allowance for food. We never lose sight of him until he is restored to his holding. Where wholesale evictions take place, as on the Clanricarde property where a whole district has been evicted, this entails an enormous expense. The operations under the plan of campaign have, of course, added largely to the expenditure under this head. The expenditure for the plan of campaign does not come out of the funds of the National League, for the league has never taken any part in the plan; but the funds, of course, do come from money placed at the disposal of the national cause. I pt down our annual expenditure at the present moment on evicted tenants at £25,000.’ **What is the next item?“ ‘*The fund for the members of the party; that comes to about £10,000 a year.’’ Lou spend a good deal of money on look- ing after the registration of voters?“ es, itis not easy, I fear, to make an American reader understand how large a fac- tor in our political struagies registration plays, but an experienced electioneerer like you will be able to explain to them that most elections are fought, not at the final polls, but in the registration corrtsg, where voters are admitted or rejected. In Ulster, espe- claily, we have had to spend money freely under this head. There are several seats there where the contests are very close, and as peo- ple in England are alwavs thinking that Uister is against us, it is most important that we should fight the seats in Ulster more vigor- ously than any place else. Then, again, we bave to spend money on registration in Eu- giand—I mean on the registration of our own ople—because now every English election sa matter of vital interest to the Irish cause. Iputthe expenditure under registration at between £3,000 and £4,000 ay £3 ,600—a year. Finally, you may put down £2,000 annually for miscellaneous expenses. .

AMERICAN REMITTANCES FALLING OFF. „Where have you receiyed for the last year the money necessary for this enormous ex- penditure?’’ **I got £10,000 from Mr. Rhodes, a South African merchaut who is in sympathy with the Irish cause, and I got £1,000 from Mr. Mur- rough, an Irishman, afriend and partner of Mr. es in the Kimberley mines.

For this reason he employed the prison brutalities which have been 80 often e sed. He tmagined that if he made imprisonment severe enough people would hesitate to run the risk of it and that thus the organization would melt away.’’ Aud that calculation, I said, has com- pletely miscarried?’’ BALFOUR’S TYRANNY A FAILURE. „Completely, answered Mr. Parnell, ‘‘and that’s the reason I say the people have stood up against the coercion in a way I never expected. Indeed, coercion is a miserable failure. Mr. Balfour began by prosecuting editorsfor publishing reports of the league. He has ceased these prosecutions. He prose- cuted news vendors for selling the papers that contained the reports. That class of prose- cution has ceased. He suppressed by roclamation the league in three counties. he branches of the league continue to meet in these counties as regularly as ever before, and their membership has increased rather than diminished. He gan by reversing the whole policy of Sir Michael Hicks Beach with regard to evictions, claiming that he had nothing to do with the justice or injustice of these evictions and that he was obliged to send troops and police to help the worst landlord in carrying out the most cruel evictions. And now rd Clanricarde and other landlords are vainly asking foi troops and police. Mr. Balfour won’tgivethem. Of course, there is still a —＋ deal of cruelty and tyranny and wrong, ut the back of coercion is broken, and Mr. Balfour has failed as ignominiously as any of his predecessors. ’’ ENGLAND READY FOR HOME RULE. ‘*So far with regard to Ireland. What do you think of the prospect in England?’’ All we want, said Mr. Parnell, is a gen- eral election. 1 don't tuink any rational man has any doubt that we should have the same majority now as the United Liberal 2 had in tae Parliament of 1885, Then, it i remem- ber the figures rightly, the Liberals had a majority of 2 over us and the Tories combined. We were 86, which makes the Liberal majority over the Tories alone, 88 Add our „ I think we sball remain pretty much where we are, and there would be a majority of 174 for home rule. That would be a majority quite sufficient to intimidate the House of Lords against reject- ing the home rule bill. Besides, as yo know, a smaller majority would quite suf- fice.’’ To sum up then, Mr. Parnell, your view of the future is hopeful?’” ‘*Quite hopeful, said Mr. Parnell. ‘‘Our only obstacle isthe sense of the Tories, and still more ofthe Unionists, that the country is against them, and that Mr. Gladstone isa very old man. Their idea is to postponea general election accordingly as long us pos- sible.’’ Have general election will come ‘*Who can tell?’’ replied Mr. Farnell. Poll ties, to use a trite remark, is a chapter of accidents. All administrations have a ten- dency towards disintegration. Then there are always some — turning up in a vast Em- pire like the British, which causes troubie and dissension, and which may any day land the Ministry in a difficulty. The personal element enters largely into the Parliamentary struggies in this country, and we have reached the period when the personal element may Degin to work prejudiciaily against the Govern- ment. „How?“ asked. „Well, by this time all the places have been given away and ambitious men have nothing more to hope from the Government. Thatis making a good many of them restive. Then Lord Randolph Churchill is very dissatisfied and there’s no knowing when he may be abie to trip them up, for he is a very clever man. In short, there’s no knowing when the crash may come and then our hour will arrive.“ HE DISAGREES WITH HENRY GEORGE. I called Mr. Parnell’s attention to the opin- ion expressed by Henry George in a recent in- terview that the creation of peasant proprie- tors would interfere with the home rule cause. 1 do not agree with Mr. George, said Mr. Parnell. ‘‘Our expérience has been that the more independent and prosperous the Irish tenants have become the greater is our strength. We never began to be really stron in Parliament untilthe bailot and the Lan acts madethe tenantstoa certain extent in- dependent of the landlords. I have no appre- hension whatever from the increase of peas- ant proprietors.’’ “Will not the possession of their holdings.’ I asked, make the peasant proprietors con- servative?’’ ‘‘Certainly,’’ replied Mr. Parnell, but conservative has various meanings. They will be ‘conservative in regard to property, but they will not be conservative as regards the preservation of English dominance. No,’’ said Mr. Parnell, emphatically, in conclusion, there is no chance of any Irishman becoming an enemy of home rule because he happens to become the owner of his land.’’ T. FP.

From the Buenos Ayres Standard. 2 are I was paddling along in a small canoe on one of the numerous tributaries of the Rio Parana, looking for ducks or anything worth shooting, when suddenlyI heard behind mea fearful yell and a great splashing in the water. A bend in the river prevented me from seeing what it was, but, thinking it was some tapirs or carpinchos bathing, I turned my canoe in order to get a shot at them, and saw a huge snake hanging froma tree with his body curled two or three times around an unfor- tunate seal. The water around them was foaming, and every now and then the seal and the fore part of the snake would disappear be- low the surface and remain below for several seconds, until, in a moment, the snake would twist his body into a sort of corkscrew shape and lift the seal right out of the water, and they would remain swinging in the air, onl supported by the snake’s tail. At one time saw the second seal jump ciean out of water to catch hold ofthe snake, and all three remained in the air. roaring and yelling most fearfully, for some time, when suddenly they dro d into the water again, the snake never losing his bold of the tree.

A great many have written about French art, as the long list of author- ities at the begin- 2 7 ahan’s 4 History a Mi. of French Painting, From Its BHarliest to Its Latest Practice’’ shows, but these writers have confined themselves to individual French painters or an essay on some particular school. The great scope of the subject has probably had something to do with this state of affairs, and then, too, some parts have proved far more attractive to write avout, yet it seems strange that a complete history Has never been tried when the interest in French art has been so great. Mrs. Stranahan’s book is as compre- hensive a one as has yet appeared on the sub- ject and was well worth the effort. As French art.seems destined to guide American art it is fitting it should appear nere. A fact that strikes the attention is the number of French paintings that have come to this country. It has been said that all the best modern French pictures come to this coun- try, but this is by no means true, as she French galleries bear testimony to the fact that quite as many ofthe pictures remain in Paris as come away from it. The French paint- ers of position undoubtedly find some of their best patrons in this country and paint with that factin mind. In the present volume the most important pictures mentioned are lo- cated and New York, Boston, San Francisco and Cincinnati are found to be the possessors of ~ yom many,and thus denoting a very pow- erful agent of culture in our busy American communities. The writer gives, it would seem, a description of nearly every thaster- — French painting has produ and his rnished a greataid to the student for the purpose of reference. The preface announces that the book is for the student and with that idea in view critical discussion is subordinated to the presentation of facts throughout the volume. Lists of painters who can be classified by any common characteristic or any official ade, dates of all kinde, blographica! detaiis, escriptions of the various recom penses of the State and their value, annals ofthe Academy at Roma, and tne Institute, the Salons and other exhibitions—theentire statigtical part, in fine, of the history of French painting is placed before the student. The writer also treate her subject critically, explains tendencies, and in fact deals with the subject as an evolutionary process, and follows it out, giving as far as possible the cause of the result. The book is tur- ther made attractive by sixteen full-page reproductions of the masterpieces of French painters. The 2 which have been reproduced with great beauty and accuracy include famous works by the best-known and most popular French artists—Messonier, Mil- let, Troyon, Bougnereat, Watteat, Gerome, David, Poussin, Daubigny, Bastien-Lepage, etc., Illustrating the most characteristic lines of artistic expression along which French painting has developed. ‘*GIBRALTAR.’* By HENRY M. FIELD. Tlus- trated. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons. 1888. Pretty much everybody knows where Gibral- tar is, and thatthe English Government bas a military post there, but beyond these two facts the knowledge of the place is limited. It is entirely out of the run of travel, for ruil- roads do not reach it, and no regular line of Atlantic steamers stop there, so it is neither easy to get to or away from. Dr. Field’s vol- ume is a delightful book ot travel, and contains bits of history that it would be difficult to find elsewhere without considerable trouble and search, and with the accurate descriptions and excellent illustrations one cannot fail to pass several pleasant hours in reading it. The different chapters cover the climbing of the rock, the description of the fortifications, the rides around the town, a eketch of the so- ciety of Gibraltar, the history of the great siege, the incidents of the parade on the Ala - meda, and the anomalous incident of the hold- ing of a fortress in a foreign country. The Straita of Gibraltar haveas distinct a histor- ical — sens to offer as the Straits of Dar- danelies that lead into the Bosphorus. Hun- dreds of years before the Turk crossed the latter, the Moor orossed the Straits of Gibraltar, and attempted the conquest of Granada. The population is of a varied type. Besides Spaniards and English- men, it includes Moors from Africa, ong- bearded Jews in their gabardines, Turks in native costumes, wen om Africa blacker than any Moors, curious men from Malta, and certain natives of Gibraltar, who bear the im- pressive name of ‘‘Rock Scorpions.’’ The author thinks the place admirabiy adapted to the wants of artiste, and advises them to go and try the local color. ‘tON THE SENSES, INSTINCTS. AND INTELLI- GENCE OF ANIMALS.’’ By Str Jonn LUBBOcK, BART. The International Scientific series, ilius- trated. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1888. The International Scientific Series has had anotber valuable addition made to its already long and worthy list in Sir John Lubbock’s vyolumn on the Senses, Instincts and Intelligence of Aulmals. The author deals more in detail with insects, and all his state ments are made from recent observations. In every case he begins with the organs of sense in man and follows them down to their lowest form. The results cannot fall to be of great interest to the student of natural history, and to the casual reader, who does not have time, or perhaps taste, for extensive study, and yet would like to know something of the wonder- ful habits of insects the book affords much that is interesting. Some of the facts are most curious and et gg Among others the author relates r the interes experi- ments made by him some time ago rove that some animals sees the ability to distin- ? invisible to humaneyes. He showed that ants were extremely sensitive to rays of light whose vibrations were too rapid for us to perceive. iments made on some small fresh-water crustaceans, belong- ing to the geuus Daphnia, seem to show that these also perceive the ultra-violet rays to which we are blind.

The same number contains portraits of Walt Whitman and of the poet Whittier. The Whittier portraif Is from a photograph taken when the poet was ignorant of the fact that he was sitting. The Boston and London letters of Ario Bates and J.Ashby- Sterry, the brief descriptive reviews of new bqoks, the notes about forthcoming works, the illustrations from the newest books and the department of questions and answers about literary topics, edited by Rossiter John - son make up an excellent number. The “Forum” for January. The Forum for January contains two oppor- tune historical essays. One by President An- gell ot Michigan University on The Recall and Dismissal of Ministers. The recent Sackville West incident does not stand alone in our diplomatic history. President Angell enumerates and explains all these cases. he other historical article is on ‘‘Defeated Prest- dential Candidates,’’ by James Parton, who writes of Clay, Birney, Greeley, McOlelian, Tilden, Cleveland and many more. Among the other writers Senator Morrill re- views the disadvantages and the advantages of political anion with Canada. Senator Dawes, who opposed the Chinese restriction act, reviews our dealings with China, and ar- gues that the act is both hasty and unjust. Andrew D.

New York: * Some Iden of the Material Necessary in Maintaining a Big System, Even When Construction Is at a Standstill—Rails ang Ties by the Million—A Few Pertinent Figures. [Written for the Suxpay Post-Disratcn. | Mississipp! River, the Western rail- roads of this coun- try have come to de content during the past year with perfecting the steel parallels already placed in position. Construction pure and simple is compara- tively at a standstill, and the manag- ers of the great lines that span the continent are, for the most part, de- voting their attention to the building up of business on the mileage accomplished in 1887. Branch after branch and feeder upon feeder have kept pace with the progress born of néwly-conquered fields, until axe and plow, ploneer and farmer, have been pursued toa point where the panting engine must pause for fuel and the cars traveling in its wake for the further development of the soil. Five or six years ago the sums repre- sented by track-laying were enormous, for. steel rails cost $80 and $90 per ton. Twelve months back and these same rails brought $43 at St. Louis, while now $82 is the price asked, with the fires of the local rolling-mills long since extinguished. This may not be inter- preted to mean disaster, but simply that American activity has for the moment out- stripped the object of its pursuit and is waiting with tense muscles for the renewal of the chase after commerce. Nor does the temporary halt in aggrandizement mean that the fires are wholly extinguished and the metal cold, or that the felling of trees in the forest has alto- gether ceased. Track must be renewed, and Pittsburg and Chicago called upon for the material, while THE TIE INDUSTRY keeps thousands of axes ringing in the woods of Missouri and Arkansas. Highty- eight tons of steel and 2,800 stout pieces of oak are required for each new mile of track laid orevery old mile renewed. Then bridges must be built and repaired, tele- graph wires hung aloft to meet the growing requirements of trade, rolling stock replen- ished and equipment of all kinds maintained in good condition, so that the material annu- ally brought into requisition by a big railroad is still of immense proportions. Let the year be dulior booming, the har- vests bountiful or the earth arid, thie work of improvement and renewal must be done. Some idea of the labor thus expended and the demand made upon factories and forests by the railroads may accordingly —— of inter- est to those Inclined to pull a long face when told that there has been a surfeit of construction and that the coun- try must be given a chance to w. Therenewals found necessary by the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway in 1886 embraced the following materials: 268,501 cross ties, 1,750 kegs of spikes, 425 kegs of bolts, 16,450 angle bars, 41 split switches, 50 frogs, 50 improved switch stands, 145 sets of switch ties, 80,000 feet of crossing plank—pur chased new end used in repairs of track. Then, in addition to other items under the same head, 12% new cattle yards were added and thirty miles of old fencing re- paired, while 41,000 square feet of station platforms were built. B way of improve- ments may be mentioned over 229 miles of new wire fence where there was none before, the construction of thirty new side tracks the addition of 347 miles of secon wire to the telegraph lines and over elghteen miles laid with new 67-pound steel rails in place of 56-pound. The Fr was PUSHING INTO TEXAS in 1886 and the extensions and branch roads located and well- advanced towards comple- tion comprised nearly two hundred and six miles. By way of new equipment, contracted for delivery tween October 1, 1886, and July 1, 1887, was included 7 passenger en- vines, 7 mogul engines, 10 consolidated engines, 14 passenger cars, 2 Pullman —— cars, 6 baggage cars, 40 caboose cars, 350 stock cars, 260 box cars and 600 gondola cars. An accurate record in detail of the material used is kept by the management of the Indian- apolis & St. Louis Railway and the other Van- derbilt lines. According to the statement of General Manager each in 1887, the Bee Line by way of improvements and repairs found necessa an expenditure of over $223,000 and cross ties tothe number of 124,214 were used, as were also in round - ures 952 tons of new steel rail, 6 pounds the yard; 635 tons of partly-worn steel rall, to relay sidings, 72 tons of track spikes, of tons of track bolts and nuts and 106 tons 87 iron angle eplice bars. The rods of new barbed wire fence constructed 10,586, at a total cost of over $7,000, while more than $10,000 was expended in repairing the fences on the entire line.

Distinguished equally by beauty anda lively imagination, a good memory and uncommon intelligence, she re- ctived the education of a man rather than ofa woman; and to this may in part be attrib- uted the many eccentricities of her life. Dur- ing her minority the kingdom was governed by the five highest officers of State, the princi- pal being the Chancellor Oxenstiern. In 164 she assumed the reins of power, and in 1650 was crowned with the title of King. She had previously declared her cousin, Charies Gus- tavus, her successor. For four years there- after she ruled the Kingdom with vigor and was remarkabie for ber patronage of learned and scientific men. In 1654, however, at the age of 28, weary of the personal restraint which royalty imposed on her, she abdicated in favor of her cousin, reserving to herself sufficient revenues, entire independence and supreme authority over her suite and house- old.“ According to later and much better author - ity, there is another and A DIFFERENT STORY of Christina’s conduct before the abdication. She threw aside all royal etiquette, prece- dents and traditions—except those pertaining to autocratic power—and did precisely as she pleased, generally pleasing to do things which had better been left undone. Of brains she had enough and tospare, but lacked the balance-wheel which hard common sense supplies. ‘‘A lively imagination! she cer- tainly had, but uniluckily her liveliness was not confined to that comparatively barmiess locality, but exhibited itself in innumerable astonishing ways, regardiess of the proprie- ties of the time or place. ‘‘Her patronage of learned and scientific men’’ wasamere whim —— — — r 5 * — . & 4 Sam, m + - : 3 . y * é more than anything else, and when the savants bad told her all she wantead to know in their respective departments, she either dismissed them un- ceremoniously or retained them to furnish amusement to herself and her court.

Entering Paris September 8, 1656, in right regal style, escorted bya thousand men on horseback and riding, as usual, her own big white horse, man fashion, Christina created an immense sensation even in that home of the sensational. Lingering forsome time in the gay city, she at last moved on to OComplegne, where Louis XIV. and his mother. Anne of aAustria, were awaiting her. That she astonished royalty and everybody elee need not be said, and for a little time the novel exhibition was greatly enjoyed. Buta woman, even though a Queen who could speak eight languages and taik like a philos- opher and savant on all subjects, who ewore likea 2 flung her legs over the arms of her chair, indulged in undressed hair and un- washed hands, and meddied in business which did not concern her, soon began to wear her welcome out, and finally was virtu- invited to depart; which she reluctantly ired coach which the King ordered and gave his bankrupt guest the money to pay for. Finding the plague in Rome she retired to Northern Italy for some monthsand then returned to France, where nobody wanted her, and where it was Gecreed she sbould biacken forever her already sadly solled fame by A DEED OF BLOOD which would be simply incredible if it were not as well authenticated as any other histor- ul event of the period. In October, 1657, Christina arrived at Fon- tainebieau—from which the court was then absent—and was requested to remain there until further orders. She made berself entirely at home in the royal chateau, which was soon to the theater of a horrible tra y. She had brought with her to Fontainebieau two young Italian noblemen, the Marquis of Monal. deschi and the Count Sentinelli—the former meter, as her grand equerry and the latter as captain ofthe guard. Mogaideschi had been ber favorite, but Sentineili then wore the dubious bonors of that position. The grand equerry was absurdly jealous of his successor, and wrote letters ly insulting to Chris- tina, imitating as closely as he could the hand- writing of Sentineill. hese letters somehow came into the Queen’s possession. On the morning of November 6 she sent for a monk, who lived in the neighboring village, named Father le Bel, and pledging him to secrecy, all did, leaving in a gave bim a sealed package with no address, telling him to keep it safely until she called for it. The following in the afternoon, Saturday, November 10, He went at once to she again sent for le Bel. the palace and was shown into the Galerie des Corts, where he found the Queen in versa- tion with Monaldesch!i. ear them stood Sentinelliand behind the group were two Italian soldiers, As soon as she saw him she rose from her chair and in a loud voice called for the packet. He gave it to her, she opened it, took out some letters, which she showed to Monaldeschi, and demanded to know if he iged them. At first be denied, then be confessed, and, throwing himself at the Queen’s feet, implored pardon. Sentinelli and the two soldiers then drew their swords, The scene which followed lasted, according to Father le Bel—a most unwilling svectator— two hours and three-quarters. Christina, not in the least excited apparently, walked toward her chamber, Monaldeschi clinging to her skirts, begging and 2 log for mercy. She guietiy shook him off, told him there was no mercy for bim and passed into the adjoin- ing apartment, where she began to talk and laugh, as usunl. Then the miserable wretch CRAWLED ON HIS KNEES to the feet of the soldiers, ones for mercy from them. Sentinelii was touched, and — ing tothe Queen urged her to spare the of- fender. He returned weeping, and told Monaldeschithere was nohope. Le Bel had been ordered by the inexurabie woman, when she left the gallery, to“ prepare this man for death and take charge of his soul.“ He now went to her and begged that the penitent might be forgiven. He was politely but —— refused. Then the Queen's private chaplain went on the same useless errand, and then Sentinelli went again. Christina sneered at the coward who was afraid to die, and exclaimed to the 1 peti- tioner: ‘‘Make him oonfess—give im a wound!’’ The bloody command was obeyed. Sentinelli pushed Monaldeschi, who was un- armed, back against the wall, and gave him a blow which cut off three of his fingers. Confession was then made to the horrified monk, absolution wen, and the shriven sinner then cut and slashed by the two soldiers over the head and face. Havy- ing a coat of mail under bis clothes, his body was partially protected. When almost at the last gasp, the Queen's chaplain again entered the room, and Monaideschi bexged him to go once more to the Quern. While he was cone Sentinelli finished the butchery by a stab in the throat. And all this time—two hours and a halt at least—this woman, not yet Sl years old, sat withina few yards of the butchers, remorseless and pitiless, laugbing and chat- ting, hearing the cries and shrieks of the helpless victim, tbe clash of the swords strik- ing at his life—and might almost have heard the last gurgling groan which followed Senti- nelli’s final stab!

ALTE FOR JANUARY. THE EFFECTS OF DANCING DISCUSSED BY DE. w. 4. HAMMOND, He Strongly Approves of It as It ls a Pow- erfal Means of Exercising Both the Mind and Body—How Best to Enjoy Dancing— Partuers should Be Changed Frequently —Praise for the German. [Written for the SUNDAY PosT-DisPaTcH.| HERE is more dancing done throughont the United States, I sup- pose, during January than in any month of the year, and it may not there- fore be deemed inap- propriate if I restrict my remarks upon this occasion to the con- sideration of the ef- fects of this amuse- and exercise upon the system of those who induize in other t. Nothing is more | wearisome to the aver - age man or woman than exercise for the mere sake of the exercise. A walk in a famillar country, with nothing but trees and cows and a dusty road to look at, while it may give ex- ercise to the muscles, does this in a not much less mechanica] way than if the iifibs were put on a board and shaken by the vibrations of a steam engine. While a like amount of physical exertion in the streets of a large city, which are crowded with people and lined with most beautiful products of art, shops .resplendent with not only the brings the muscles into play, but at the same time stimulates the mind. The walk through Farmer Smith’s lane is pretty much the same day after day, and eventually the mind be- comes fatigued with its unvarying features. But Broadway or Fifth avenue or Chestnut street are always changing, and the mind is kept alert and amused, for, after all, the one factor that never palis is variety. This susceptibility of the system to become wearied, and, as it were, callous from a rope tition of the same impression, is exbibited not only in the way I bave mentioned, but in many other interesting modes. The body,for instance, soon becomes habituated to the repeated dose of the same medicine, and it is necessary to increase the quantity from dayto day in order to obtain the desired results. A first dose ofan eighth ofa grain of morphia will probably put most persons to sleep; a second dose of the same quantity acts less ener- getically, a third dose still more feebly, while afourth has noappreciable effect whatever. In order to obtain sleep the dose now must be increased, and alike process must be gone through with from day to day so as to subject the body to a continually increasing influence. A LIKE CONDITION exists in regard to pains, the body soon be- coming accustomed to very agonizing sensa- tiens unless they are rendered more intense or altered in quality. Even the most acute tortures fail to be experienced by the nerves, unless they are changed in some way or other.

Hoffmeister, Supreme Re- corder, administered the oath of office to the newly elected officers at Ferguson Oouncil on Wednesday night. After tne installation services at Ferguson on Wednesday Prof. E. D. Luckey was success- — 9 8 and artistically served with a racket. Brothers Berry and Hoffmeister wanted to ourney to Ferguson in a ‘‘balloon,’’ but Jim aters insisted on their accompanying him on the train, claiming ‘‘fast time and sure delivery.’’ At Huntley the engineer lost a shoe“ and it was soon evident that the de- livery clause’’ in Waters’ contract would be — * 7 — void.“ — * egraphed ahead to repare supper for ve, but Hotel De Pardee was not open for transient trade, so the reply was not favor- able. The — uestion me a probiem but was finally solved by Messrs. B an Hoffmeister walking back to Olive street road and returning with a supply of cheese, erack- ers, sardines, etc. Ontheir arrival at Tiffin Hal , about ¥o’clock, a recess was taken to allow the guests to have full sway at their eatables. A bucket of water was furnished aratis by the council. The ante-room door was locked and the fun began. Weeping and gnashing of teeth could be heard and a dis- tant rumble like the cannon’s roar. All sur- vived the siege, however, but the ante-room has taken to itself a cheese-let odor that time alone can wipe out. There was not a member of Ferguson who was not on-Luckey Wednesday night. f. Laflin asked the class several ques- tions concerning the past record of Jim Waters at Ferguson on Wednes- day night, and favorable and compli- mentary replies having been given, four stalwart brethren brought forth the calf and laid it on the altar. Jim thought his name would change to mud, but under penalty of death removed eighty-seven newspapers and found a handsome L. of H. button of solid gold to reward him for his search. The presentation speech was made byiLafiin, who told Jim how much the U. 8. appreciated his services, etc. Blackburn took an instanta- neous photograph of Jim’sface and will frame it for the good of the order. Ferguson has secured a prize in capturing enial Charlie Cunningham, tate of Ivanhoe, or her Guide.

The gun went off and Jimmy fled at the sight of Luckey’s face, but the people at the finish said that Luckey won the race. Lee Hutchison failed to materialize on Wednesday, hence was not installed as Over- seer in Ferguson. Lee wae ‘‘calling’’ all day and nighton New Years, hence indisposed. But Lee is a royal good fellow just the sume. Empire Council held a special meeting at Masonic Hall, on Wednesday night and initiated five candidates and elected William Allen a representative to the Supreme Counoll. Delmar Council was ably represented at the Supreme Council meeting on Friday night by F. R. Peters and T. K. Wormer, who voted the right way each time. Delmar OCouncll’s installation occurs next Tuesday night. The duties of the installing officers will be made particularly — tor them on account of the high class ot men selected by Delmar for officers for 1839. Delmar Council believes in the old saying that Westward the star of Empire takes its way, and is laying plans for a grand increase in membership during 1889. All of her me bers are ‘‘hustiers,’’ anda gentle and friendly rivalry exists among them which will calmin- ate in a larger number of applications than ever. E. C. Dodge, the retirin Vice-Chancellor of Delmar, is one of the hardest workers in that council and never lets an Opportunity pass to eulogize the Legion of Honor in general and Delmer Council in particular. e 18 Ernest by name and earnest by nature. O. H. Wengler, Recorder, is one of the ligt weights of Imar, but he made an efficient officer during 1888 and will excel J — en- deavors during 1889. His innate modesty has been somewhat of a drawback in the Council discussions, but he gives promise of shortly overcoming that unfortunate phase of his com position and blooming out as an unblush- ing o r. Tho bupreme Council will never have cause to regret its selection of Dr. R. M. King of West End Council for Supreme Medical Di- rector of 1889. His reputation is first-class in every respect. He has been a — phy- sician for many vears and as Medical Exam- mer of West End Council he showed a pecu- liar fitness for the position. The doctor made hosts of friends among the members of the — — owing to the unostentatious manner in which he made bis canvass, and this fact con- tributed materially to his success. Wm. Allen of Empire made a good race for Supreme Chaplain and was only defeated on the second ballot by a slight majority. His defeat is partiy attributabie to the fact that he was only entered at the eleventh hour, and his friends did not have time to rally to his — or present his good qualities to their ends. Tom Morse of Empire was nominated for re- election as a member of the Executive Board, but positively and vehementiy refused to enter the lists. Empire Council received one office from the Supreme Council, that of Supreme Overseer, which will be ably filled during 1889 by Frank Marsh, Jr. That Supreme Recorder W. H. Hoffmeister ef Alpha Council has made an efficient and pope ar officer during the = yor was evi- enced Friday night by the handsome vote he received. West End Council had a ratification, a jolli- fication and an Mstaliation last night. The Supreme Council meet in annval session on Friday night at the Masonic Hall, and after listening to the readings of the reports of the different officers proceeded to the election of officers for 1889. An exhaustive, complete and thorough report was read from the Supreme rder, showing the membership had in- or based over 700 during the past year and one new OCouncilhad been instituted. The elee- tion resulted as follows: Supreme Cbancellor, Frank M. Estes; Vice Supreme Chancellor W. 5. Scott; Supreme Recorder, W. H. Hofmeister; Supreme Treas- urer, J. W. Donnell; Supreme Guide, G. Walden; Supreme Overseer,F. W. March, Jr.; Supreme Sentinel, Robert L. Little; Supreme Chaplain, J. W. Jordon; Supreme Medical Ex- aminer, Dr. R. M. King; Members of Execu- tive Board, Jas. G.

On Wednesday evening the officers of George Washington Coun- cll, Nov 214, were installed by D. G. C. James Webb. After the Hon. P. Mona- ghan, on behalf of the council, pre- sented the retiring Commander, A. J. Gilsen, with a magnificent gold watch and chain. It certainly was a surprise to P. O. Gliisen, but he was equal to the occasion, and the members of the council went home happy and jolly in the small hours of the morning. The officers installed were: A. Shannon, The G. O., Col. Jack P. Richardson and staff will make an official visit next week as follows: Mon evening, Hendricks’ Coun- cll at Seventeenth and Cass avenue; Wednes- day evening, De Soto Council, Jefferson and Lucas avenue; Thursday evening, Des Peres Council, St. Louis. As the Grand Council meets in February, the Grand Secretary is very anxious that sec- retaries of subordinate councils would send in their reports as 2 as possible. Garfield Oouncil«No. „A.

Miller; Warden, OUhristian Thiemer; Sentinel, Gotlieb Jaggi; Trustees, Charies H. Kassing and H. A. Eicks. After the installagion a recess was taken and the large number present partook of a boun- toous lunch, provided by the Committee on Refreshments, and enjoyed themselves until a late hour. The business of this council is transacted in astrict business manner and yet the corner- stone ofthe American Legion of Honor, ‘‘fra- ternity,’’ is always made a prominent feature ateach meeting, notasingle case of distress having ever been brought to the notice of the council that immediate relief was not ex- tended. Daniel Webster Council, A. L. of H., held its meeting Friday evening and was literally filled with ladies and gentlemen. Grand Deputy James Webb installed the newly- elected officers, assisted by Grand Secretary John H. Sloan and Dr. Gib. Carson. After the usual ceremonies coffee and cake were served. Amidst the confusion D.G.C. Webb arose and with an elegant — resented the re- tiring commander, James ss, with an ele- gant emblem ofthe order. He spoke of the untiring efforts of Mr. Ross, who for seven years has served the Council in various offices, and forthree years was their Commander, running that office without fear or favor and winning the esteem of the members. Mr. Ross was taken completely by surprise, and was too overcome to do himself justice, but thanked the members and wished them God- speed for the new year. Dancing was kept up, and all went over and paid a visit to Ivy Council, where a d cheer awaited them. Ivy Council held its regular meeting Friday evening and installed its newly-elected officers. Mrs. Hutton filied the chair. After the usual ceremonies a lunch was served. -Mi Demars and others sang.

The year 1889 promises to be one of the most prosperous in the history of the O. M. P.

Organizers are at work in all the North- = ern States, and the outiook is extremely flattering. A new iodge will be instituted in North St. Louis by the Supreme President, Dr. Henry some time this month. There are thirty-three applicants on the charter list up to date. Missouri initiated five candidates at the meeting on last Wednesday; there were 80 many Visitors present that cbairs were in de- mand. The Secretary of Liberty was present —another proof that the SUNDAY Post-Dis- PATCH reaches every member of this order. Atter installation of officers the usual supper was enjoyed by al) present. The Supreme President has been over- whelmed with inquiries from all parts of the country lately and has decided to bave those most important printed with answers.

The Missouri jurisdiction of the Knights of Honor may well be proud ofthe leading rep- resentative men, who have been, and are now, connected with its benevolent purposes. Since the institution of this order in 1873, down to the present, no worthy public charity has ever been inaugurated without the active co-operation of Knights of Honor. John 8.

Their unselfish devotion and untiring zeal in assist- ing tn the bringing of sunshine into desolated homes. and driving the hungry wolf from many a door, has endeared them more closely to their brethern of the lodges of the K. of H., and placed their names upon the very acme of fame. When one glances over the roll of the Knights in this city, ghey are not surprised at the success of its practical system of true benevolence, while distributing annually through the banks of our city the sum of $3,000,000 to the beneficiaries of deceased brethren. Using the words of Missouri’s Grand Dictator, ‘*‘The hearts of all philan- thropic citizens beat in unison with the men who are eprolled as members of this order, and daily testify to its usefulness, ite genuine work, in the cause of Christian enlightenment and charity, for nowhere upon this globe can there be found more unselfish, devoted, ain- cere, practical workers in the cause of philan- thropy than among this grand brotherhood, the second largest eneficiary organization in existence. During the past week many of the lodges installed the officers-elect for the year 1889. Quite a number of lodges gave open meet- ese public installations, where the Gra Dictator and his staff performed the beautiful impressive ceremony. At Manches- ter Lodge, Manchester, St. Louis County, Brothers Bass ard Kinsey delivered eloquent and instructive addresses. At Bellefontaine e Supreme Reporter Col. B. F. Neilson, distinguished himself as an orator of rare ability. Repeating the words of Past Dictator Nolte, ‘‘I got three applications that same evening as a result of Brother Nelson’s ad- dress. At Banner Lodge (the Mercantile Lodge), the Grand Dictator captured the audience with a neat address. Mt. Olive Lodge last night held its annual reunion, installation and banquet. No lodge of any order in this city can produce a more congenial set of officers and members; none are more liberal with their sick and afflicted than this lodge. The report made by the trustees last night showed the sum of $6,989.75 in the lodge fund. It is the intention of Mt. Olive Lodge before the year 1889 is ended to occupy itsown lodge hall and have room in its own building to accommodate several Grand Dictator Martin and Brother F. has always been the treasury and most earnest members lodge, as the guardian of the children of a deceased brother made a report of his guardianship — the $2,000 left these children to be drawing interest, and the children cared for by himselt and the minister of his church, witbout expense to them as members of their own housebold, and when they reach their majority the money lett by the wise forethought of their father. Next week and the balance of this month will be devoted to the installation of the officers-elect of the numerous lodges in this city and State. Brother L. F. Borntraeger has earned the thanks of the Grand Dictator for his efficient services as Grand, installing the officers elect of lodges of the order. Ancient Order of Foresters. The Executive Councilof the Missouri Dis- trict, Ancient Order Foresters, at the last meeting decided to move tothe old quarters, in Wentzler’s Hall, Eighth and Franklin ave- nue, and to meet on the firstand third Fri- days of each month. The members of E. O. intend to visit Court Benton on Saturday evening in a body.

Detectives say that, having once seen aman whom they know to be a thief, they will know him ata glance under any circum- stances, no matter if years elapse between their first and second meeting. Of course it is an easy matter for them to recognize such well-known characters «as Little Horace Haven, Walter Sheridan, Billy Porter, and other prominent actors in their profession. But the fact of these men being „star thieves and confining themselves almost exclusively to one class of work is an important factor in identifying and appre- hending them. Their general appearance, some peculiar oddity of gait or manner, are so well known that they are, asa rule, easily recognized by a keen-eyed detective, even though fully disguised. Indeed it may be said that athief will never disguise himself unless as a last resort, as the ability of de- tection while personating a character not his natural one is greater than many people think. Most men have certain distinctive charac teristics in their walk, manner of carrying the head or swinging the arms. When 4 THIEF GETS IN TIGHT QUARTERS the only disguise he assumes is a sort of self- restraint that has a tendency to give him an unusual appearance. If a crook should come into a town where he has no friends nor pointers to guide him in looking for a job,“ it would take him a week or ten days to get on to the ‘‘lay-out’’ and be able to work in an intelligent manner. That applies, however, only in the cases of those who look forward to doing protracted work ina city, Ifhe is a ‘*houseman’’ (and only the smooth and fin- ished people can make a success of that line) he will secure lodging in some respectable lo- cality outside of the district he intends te work or may stop at one of the prominent hotels if he is unknown, and will devote @ large part of his time, both dayand night, to going carefully over the residence part of the city before opening the battle. He will note the kind of fastenings that are in general use for windows and doors, the probable lo- the family in ho of a dozen ifferent houses.
