Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, January 12.—The keynote has been struck for another dig fuss about Morell Mack- enzie, which next week will be the absorbing topic in English and Ger- man papers and sink the Morier in- cident out of sight. : It involves ashock- ing snub to royalty, probably unprecedented. Last night an official announcement was made in 1 quiet way that the Royal College of Surgeons had adopted resolutions severely censuring Mackenzie for publishing his book about the iliness of the German Emperor. This gneat blow is struck at Mackenzie by his own college and amounts to a notification to the famous throat special- ist bythe most powerful and distinguished body of medical men in England that they want nothing more to do with him. INVOKING ROYALTY’S AID. Mackenzie got wind of the intended rebuke, by a notice to appear before the council of t4 college and defend himself against the charge of a breach of professional etiquette. He paid no attention to the summons, so far as putting in an ap- pearance was con- cerned, but invoked the direct interference of the Empress Fred- erick and the Queen to head off the resolution of censure. The Empress wrote a . letter to the college through Sir Spencer Wells, who proposed the resolution, beseeching them not to take such a step be- cause it would seriousig impair her position and interests in Germany. This letter was written from Osborne on the Queen’s letter paper. The Empress indicated further that Mackenzie wrote the book at the solicitation of herself and the Queen, and that any cen- sure on him must nec- essarily refiect on them. This letter was read to the college and yetin the teeth of such powerful royal persuasion, they threw Mackenzie overboard and sided with the German doctors. The letters has not been made public yet, but surely will be when the matter becomes the subject of controversy in the papers. The great wonder will be how such doctors as depend in a great degree on royal circles for patronage and position could disregard such a request. A SURGEON’S OPINION. Aprominent surgeon who refused to allow his name to be quoted said to-day: ‘‘It will be hard to convince the people that the col- lege was actuated by motives of professional honor and not by an acute attack of profes- sional jealousy. That was undoubtedly at the bottom of it. Few people out- side of the profession realize what a blow this is to Mackenzie, and particularly when the Empress Frederick, backed by the Queen, almost went down on her knees to ward & off. Yet the vote of the Oollege lacked only two votes of being ananimous. My opinion is that the Empress bungled as badly in head- ing off this move as Mackenzie aid in publishing the book. Instead of writing the letter to the college if she had quietly called Sir Spencer Wells and one or two other promi- nentmen to Osborne and made the matter a personal affair instead of a college affair. I think the resolution might have been sup- pressed. POPULARITY OF THE EMPRESS. The Empress Frederick has such «4 hold upon populer sympathy here just at present that the publication of the facts will probably cause the tide of public feeling now to flow toward Mackenzie. The Empress feels persecuted enough in the course of events in Germany| without an additional burden from the English people. It is known that she person- ally wrote to her son, the Emperor, a few days since, asking him to put a stop to Bis- marck’s revenge in keeping alive the Morter incident. — — What An American says of the Methods Raw — — Special Cablegram to and wife sailed — gee + Press in America. “It is meartly impossible,’’ said Smith, to telegraph news not doctored by Government spies at the great capitals of Burope. The only way a cor- respondent can give the public the facts as they are is to send tha matter to London by mall and, if it is suspected, it is not sure that way. In European cities the public are so used to getting nothing but a few facts filtered through Government channels that they cease to look for news as Americans un- derstand the word, and the Press Associations make no effort to get it for them. This js true ot Rome fully as much as Berlin and St. Fe- tersburg, but I have made arrangements by which the Associated Press will give the American papers reliable news from the Vati- can long before the Continental nnn if they get it at all. I have met a great many — abroad, continued Smith, and a number of them are much displeased with the con- dition of things atthe United States Legations, both at Berlin and London. In Berlin, Pendle- ton’s Ulness obliges him to be absent from his post most of the time, and affairs bave fallen into the hands of Secretary Colman, who is very unpopelne with Americans in Germany. BOULANGER. Confident of Success in the Coming Election —Talking of Barricades. RIS, January 2. es Boulanger stillseems to carry everything before him, and were the election to-mor- row, instead of on the 27th, he would surely sweep the De- \ partment ofthe Seine by some 5,000 major- ity. When the Post- DISPATCH corre- spondent called on him to-day the Gen- eral was as cool as acucumber and confident, as becomes a man of destiny. His audience- room was again thronged with all sorts and conditions of men and women, evincing that gratitude which isa keen appreciation of fa- vors to come. CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS. „es, said the General, with that very winning smile which has oe secured him the suffrages of the softer sex, ‘‘every- body seems N to be working to secure my election, and especially the efforts of Flo- quet and his crew are worthy of all praise. Jacques is such a weak oandidate, and then all these little men—such as Boule and Harrauld- vm serve to subdivide into impotency the num- bers of my enemies, They, the Opportunists, are not fighting me witli! open vizor,’’ said the General, growing earnest, ‘‘slander and mud-throwing are their only weapons. No one believes now that I aspire to a dictatorship. No sensible man can. But the tradespeople, in view of the coming exposition, dislike any agitation, however constitutional or healthful. Though they are not against me, they may say, ‘Let well enough alone for the present, and inthe fail we will attend to politics. Still Lam confident of being elected, with some hundred thousand votes to spare.’ Political Betting is rampant here just at present, and one bookmaker has cre- ated a sensation by opening a book as to whether Carnot or Boulanger will drive from the Elysee on May 1 to open the exhibition. The odds are still slightly in favor of Carnot, but by the way in which the Boulangists are -rushing matters this will probably be changed. INTERVIEW WITH FERRY. The Post- DISPATCH correspondent then saw M. Berry in his New Hotel in Rue Bayard. After remarking that he hated the institution ofan interview hesaid: ‘‘No, I think Gen. Boulanger will be defeated. I cannot think that Paria wishes to be represented in the Chamber by a mountebank and the patron of concert hall singers. M. Jacques will be elected and deserves to represent the people with whom he has always lived and for whom he has worked polit- ically with credit to himself and advan- tage to his fellow oeltizens for twenty years. Do not let the people in Amer- ica be alarmed for the stability. of our institutions.

But if the suggestion be correct then the ‘large force’ which the ‘White Pasha’ was said to have under his command was a force of Zandehs added to Stanley’s own Zanrzibars, and Stanley's success up to this point in the story suggests that he and his followers were on the best of terms. On the other band, the fact that Emin succeeded with the aid of these same Zandehs, and asa consequence of the general native recognition of the benificence et his rule in regaining possession of the provinces entrusted to bis charge, clearing out Inn SCUM OF KHARTOUM,’ and absolutely suppressing the slave trade, makes it difficult to believe that he can have been betrayed, as described by Osman Digna. Emin was fighting at Lado, if fixbting at all, with a loyal country behind bim and an open line of retreat either to the South or west, and it the alleged surrender only occurred, as reported, on October 10, he and Stanley had successfully resisted the invader for about seven months. Then comes recent dispatches from Zanzi- bar giving what purports to be the substance ot a letter from Stanley written at Bonalaya- on-the-Aruwim!,: where be hud arrived on August 17, „ting that he intended leaving thereon August 28 to return toKmin. This ye “would be consistent with the report sent by man Digna, for it Stanley had met Emin at he end of May, Emin would have received he Khedive’s letter and might afterwards have been captured at the beginning of Octo- ber. But other dispatches have since been received indicating that Stanley returned to Emin and was back with him oa the Upper Aruwimi on October 26th last. Who Osman Digna Is. Special Cal \ogram tothe Post-Dispatch. Panis, January 11.—Osman Digna, who com- mands the advance army of the Mahdi’s troops, and who firat communicated to Gen. Grenfell the alleged capture of Stanley and Emin Bey, I. not an Arab, as ie generally de- lieved, but is an European by birth. Aeccord- ing to the Ferit Journal Osman Digna was born in Rouen, Fran e, in 1836, of French parents. His father, whose name was Joseph Nisbet, sentthe boy, Gorge, at an early age to Paris to be educated. When George was 13 years old hie parents emigrated to Alexandria, in Kgypt. Here Joseph Nisbet soon succumbed to the trying climate and his widow, who was stil! a beautiful wo- man and comp: tively young, married Osman Digna. an Arabian merchant. The latter took a stron, liking to his stepson, had him educated inthe Mohammedan faith, and sent him to Cairo, to attend the military school. George Nisbet became Osman Digna, Jr. When he had graduated from the college with high honors, the family moved to Sua- kim, when Osman Digna, Sr., engaged asa merchant and slave dealer, principally the lut- ter, and acquired «a large fortune. Alter the death of his stepfather, Osman Digna, Jr., continued the business and soon became one of the most influential men in Suakim. When the revolt of the Arabs took place in 1862, Osman Digna became one of the most enthusiastic champions of the move- ment. He was joined by his friend, Arabi Pasha, and was elected chief of all the tribes in Eastern Soudan. Osman isa general fa- vorite, and wields such a powerful influence that even the Mahdi himself dare not oppose the pacific endeavors of the French Arab’’ to Open the Soudan to the commerce of the world. Osman hasapowerful physique and imposing stature; he has dark, restiess eyes, a very long, black beard and carries himself with all the dignity ofa full-blooded Sheik. He has only“ three wives, who, coming from the dest families in the Soudan, through their family connections increase his already great influence in the councils of the mation. Osman Digna has only one arm, hav- ing lost the left one on the battle fleld. — — — HATRED OF GERMANY. The Feeling Which Dominates Political Circles in Russia. r Post-Dispatch. ERLIN, January 12.— It ie believed in well- informed circles in Berlin that the Ozar has now become fully convinced that. the action of Germany has mot been directed against Muscovite in- tereste, Dut there still prevails a feeling of uneasiness, owing to the possibility of the Ozar’s being unable to resist the inflaences that surround him and 5 urge him to a breach with Germany. § i ’ Hatred of Germany and desire to come to an | with France in order to be able take advantage of all possible contingen- to the detriment of the Teutonic race, has been the mark the Russian Obauviniste.

It is not necessary to suppose that a similar trick bas been played upon the Czar, but it is one characteristic fact of the European situa- tion that the peace of the world is in danger from the peculiar isolation in which the mas- ter of 60,000,000 of Russians is compeélied to live. THE DESIRE OF FRANCE. It is well known that the desire to come to an understanding with Russia has long been powerful among a large class of French poll- tician8. Gen, Boulanger owes much of his success to an irregular attempt at correspon- dence withthe Czar. Many recent episodes of diplomacy have shown that France wishes to find an ally in the one other nation which feels itself antagonistic to Germany. The Germans, oratany ratethe rulers of Germany, have not taken alarm. They have the bostile combination is to profess to ignore it, andatthe same timeto strengthen them- selves against alleventualities. The Triple Alliance has done something to modify the dangers to which Germany isexposed. But the GermanGovernment judges that valuable as alliances are, itis bestto be as strong as possible at home. The German army is as numerpus, „as well armed and as woll equipped as any army can reasonably be hoped to be. The staff makes every effort to keep itself well informed and the navy is being rapidly strengthed. Nine new tironclads and eleven new cruisers make a formidable building pro- gramme, tosay nothing of the smaller craft whose construction is in contemplation. — Sree — — SERVIaA’s DI EAM, Pine no werecived thatthe best way to prevent Great Questions to Be Settled in the Near Future—Austria’s Desire. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. IENNA, January 12. —Politics at Vienna is just now summed up in the one word, ‘*Servia.’’ The Vi- ena and Pesth newspapers are eagerly speculating as to the composi- tion of the new Ser- vian Cabinet, the possible accession of the formidable M. Ris- tics to power, and even the possible abdica- tion of King Milan. M. De Layeleye, in an in- terview to-day, said: The real cause of the uneasiness which Austrian politicians always feel, and occasionally express, about Servia is that Austria bas shown herself the deter- mined enemy of the Servian nationality, We talk of Bosnians and Herregovinians, but Bosnians and Herzegovinians are Serbs. 80 are the Montenegrins and Lakewis, the two millions of people scattered about Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia and Daimatia. THE SERVIAN DREAM. All the Serbs, the Montenegrins excepted, are under Austrian rule, and with regard to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovinia at all events, there is at the bottom of every Servian heart the feeling that Servia should be inde- pendent. In Macedonia, also, though under Turkish rule, there is another large block of Servian inhabitants. Now, to talk of pan- slavism in connect on with Servia is nonsense, and the pbrase is only used by Austrian news- papers with the object of inducing the public to believe that for some mysterious reason the Servians are anxious to be absorbed into Russia. Pan-Serbism, on the other hand, is a very real feeling and a very strong one. It may seem ancient history to talk of the four- teenth century and the great Stephen Dushan, but when, in point of fact, every Servian knows all about the great Dushan and dreams of a reconstituted Servia which, like the Servia of those days, should extend from Belgrade to Janina, it is not ancient history at all, but very modern history indeed. Of course the Servians do not shut their eyes to the hard facts of the ninetéenth century. Tney probably dream lIittie of Croatia and not at all of Saionica. But on the other hand, they do most certainly dream a great deal of Bosnia, Herzegovinia, still more of Kossoro and Novi-Bazar, and they will never acquiesce without fighting (any more, for that matter, than the Greeks) in the acauisition of the whole of Macedonia by Bulgaria. THE TREATY OF SAN STEFANO. The treaty of San Stefano did wrong to Greece and Servia by giving the whole Mace- donian land to Bulgaria, as a large part of it was not Bulgarian, but Greek and Servian. The settiementof the Macedonian question depends essentially upon the Bulgarians. It is a bard saying, bute true one, that Greeks and Servians would rather see the Turk rule in Macedonia than to see the whole of that country given up to Bulgarians, and if the lat ter fall to show sense and moderation that particular question will never be settled with- out a war. “The other part of Servia Irredania raises even more serious questions: Austria went into Bosnia and Herzegovinia expressly to pro- vent the formation of a greater Servie. She rushed forward towards Novi-Bazar express- ly inorder to drive a wedge between Servia and Montenegro, and so prevent their union. It istherefore impossible that any patriotic Servian should be honestly Austria’s friend. It is hard to see what will be the outcome of it all; but it is certain that Austria has herself manufactured the greater part of her present difficulties. Ifebe had frankly aided the for- mation of the greater Servia instead of thwarting it by every meansin her power she could now snap her fingers at the Russians.’’ — —⅛ — CHINESE BLsSTRICTION, The Canadian Government Will be Urged to Recede From Its Policy. By Telegraph to the Post-Disrarcn. OrTawa, January 12. inte year, to rem between British Columbia and China, with a view to building up a trade in that country ih connection with the Cana- dian Pacific. The Chinese Government have intimated, however. that unless the tax of 650 per head on Chinamen landing ig Canada is removed they will not entertain any pro- posai for extending trade relations between the two countries. If the tax is removed there will be a general influx of Chinese into the United States through British Columbia. POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS. The exceptional advantages the postal sav- ing bank system of the Dominion offers to the working classes to save their surplus earnings is clearly instanced in the report of the Postmaster-General just issued. In 18688 system of postal sayings banks was intro- duced in Canada, as the Postmaster-General states, to encourage the habit of saving among the working classes by providing a place where they might deposit their surplus earnings at a fair rate of interest (4 per cent), with absolute security. This system enables such depositors to deposit assmallasum as $1; the amount deposited in one year not to exceed $300, or in all $1,000. Ordinary banks will not, as a rule, take such small deposits, and consequently they were heretofore obliged to save up until they had accumulated a sufficient sum, large enough to deposit it in ordinary banks. In 1869 these postal banks numbered eighty-one, with $204,588 on de- posit. In 1880thenumber of banks in opera- tion bad increased to 297, and the amounton deposit to $3.945,669, increasing in 1888 to 433 offices, with $20,679,082 to the credit of depos- itors. Almost the entire increase has been since 1880. The following is the order in which depositors stand according to occupation and 2 deposited to their credit: Farmers, married women, single women, mechanics, trusts, accounts and children, laborers, in- cluding children, widows, clerks, tradesmen, professional men, farm and other male ser- vants. The total cost of maintaining the sys- tem, including interest allowed depositors and all expenses of management is 41-10 per cent. The last annual report of the Post- master-General shows thatthe total revenue of the department during the year was $2,751,139; expenditures $3,583,897; deficit $782,258. The number of letters carried was 80,200,000; postal cards, 16,688,000; free letters, 5,500,000. It has been in contemplation to re- duce the 3 cent rate of postage toa uniform rate with thé United States, but the large deficit this year the Postmaster-General says, will preclude the possibility of such a step being taken for the present at least. A QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE. MONTREAL, Quebec, January 12.—A sensa- tion has been created in religious and politi- cal circles over the assumption by Cardinal Taschereau of precedence in the Provincial Parliament over the Lieutenant-Governor and representative of the Queen. Parliament opened yesterday. Cardinal Taschereau and his clergy bad been sent invitations to attend, being assicned the first seats on the floor. His Eminenee resented this, and writing to the chief usher, demanded a position on the throne, claiming as a Prince of Rome and ac- cording to the rules of tne charch precedence over even the representative of the Queen in the person of the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province. Speaker of the Senate Bruere and Premier Merceir held a hurried consultation, and word was sent to His Eminence that what be demanded would be acceded to, and apologizing for any seeming discourtesy. It would have been worth the Government’s existence to have slighted the Cardinal. A hastily constructed, throne was erected be- side the Queen's throne, and directly under the royal arms, and this was occupied by Cardinal Tasch uand his body guard of prelates yesterday when Parliament opened. Much indignation was expressed by the Pro- testant members of the Legislature, and there isa movement looking toward sending a re- monstrance to the Imperial Government against what the English-speaking popula- tion call the dangerous influence being exer- cised in public affairs by the Catholic Church in this province. Only a short time ago a law was passed by Parliament, giving the Jesuits $400,000 subject to the approval of the Pope be- fore it could become a law. The church ex- acts tithes from the Catholic inhabitants of the province, and there are statutes on the books having marginal references, such as **decree by our holy father, the Pope, to take precedence,’’ etc. — — IN THE BIVIERA.

Special 2 to the Post-Dispatch. OME,January 12.--The fact that the pope has 7 found it necessary, as reported, to make an investigation as to the truth of the allegatious that the Irish Cathol- ics in America are ar- rogating to themselves Roman Catholic religion in the United States, has raised a question of serious import, It is true that among acertain class whose misinformation if not downright ignorance bas led them to thie beliet, the Irish in America have been considered the sole upholders of Catholicism, and many Irishmen otherwise sane have suf- fered from similar hallucinations not only in America butin other countries. The statis tics of the Catholic Church compiled atthe Vatican from accurate reports received from American prelates, dovever, refute this theory and represent the German ele- ment as not only numerous but influential, and, above all, generous contributors to the support not only ot the church in America, but to the Holy See as well. With these reports before him, and having also in view authenticated representations of many of the German elergy in America that their parishioners as Oatholics are suborai- nated in many cases to their Irish co-religion- ists in the distribution of moneys, the choice of edifices, ete., the Pope is impelled. to ap- point 6 Cardinal to investigate the question of equal rights involved. The Catholic Church in Americais merely a mission at the best, there being no establish- ment of relations with the Government or unanimity of thought among the people through which the Holy See can act as it can in recognized Catholic countries, and the task to which the Pontiff bas betaken bimself is une promising great difficulty, if not abso- lute failure. In addition to his appointment of a commissioner to inquire into the matter of equal rights for German Catholics, the commissioner being incidentally a German, His Holiness is sorely exercised over the spirit of socialism which he has discovered to be prevalent among the Irish Oatholica of America. This alleged spirit or socialism is presum- ably the spirit of patriotism and love of liber- ty, which impeis Irish-Americans to give all possible aid to the struggle of home rule, which is being carried onin Ireland. If this be the spirit he alindes to in his exhorta- tions to American prelates the Holy Father is wasting his time in combating it, whatever headway he may make in the direction of securing equal rights for his German followers. — ——ͤ— ——¾ib EVENTS IN ENGLAND, The Sackville Case — Prosecution of Irish Members of Parliament. Special Cablegram te the Post-Dispatch, ONDON, January 12.— Correspondence in the Sackville case, pub- lished in the Blue Book, issued this morning, confirms the impression that no Minister will be ap- pointed by the British Government to fill the vacaney in Washing- ton during the present administration. Re- gardless of the appeals trom members of his own party opinion, of Liberal leaders and of the sentiment of the country generally, Lord Salisbury is deter- mined to carry out the policy of resentment to the bitter end. He fully sympathizes with Lord Sackville, considers: him an_ill-used man, and brings precedents to his support, furnished by Lord Palmerston whose delicht it was to buily all the weak nations of the world. While he had not the courage to ap- ply tothe United States, a precedent is cited in the case of Spain on the occasion of Lord Bulwer’s dismissal. He follows in the foot- steps of his predecessor as far as he dares, and it will take along time for the ill feeling he has aroused to subside. The sincere desire which exists here, and no doubt in América, to see all questions at issae settled and har- mony restored, is thwarted, and mutual hopes indefinitely deferred.

Mr. Balfour has re- sumed his plan of campaign with all his malign vigor. Summons and warrants are going about in all directions seeking whom to sieze. None ofthe leading men of the Irish par- ty. who have rendered themselves construo- tively liable under any clause of tne coercion act are likely to escape Mr. Balfour’s attentions. When Parliament reassemblies it will find the Irish vote considerably reduced. All gentie- men who have received summones refuse to take any notice of them and arrest if they stay in the country is sure to follow. The penal- ties imposed under the act are increasing in severity, and the treatment of political pris- oners is more rigorous than ever. Mr. Edward Harrington is reported to be suffering from the harsh treatment he has received. His brother, Timothy Harrington, promises to make the House of Commons ring with the denuncia- tion of the manner in which the convict rules are enforced in case of delicate and educated gentlemen to whom the application of such rules is wanton torture. BVICTIONS IN IRELAND. With the revival of political persecution the cruel work of eviction is carried on with re- lentiess determination. Resistance becomes more dogged and threatens to grow more dan- werous. Firearms are displayed on both sides,although bappily they have not yet been used. Several times have the combatants been on the brink of firing, but in all cases the priests have rfered to prevent blood- shed. Should be exchanged and lives be lost the consequences would be terribie. There would bean outburst of long pent-up wrath and fury which might precipitate most disastrous events. The Nationalist leaders still counsel patience, and the moral infiu- ence of their English friends is the great re- straining power. There was a scene of unusual violence to- day on the estates of Lord Lurgan in Armagh. A large force of bailiffs and policemen sought to evict one John Henry from his holding. The house was surrounded by all the defenses which ingenuity could devise and strongly garrisoned by Henry’s family and friends. The fight was a desperate one. The police advanced to the attack several times and were as often driven back, the defenders using pitchforks, stones and hot water. A number of the assailants, among them the land agent of Lord Lurgan, were injured. At last came the usual result. The garrison was overpowered and all were made prisoners. The building was levelled to the ground. PLAYs AND PLAYERS. American Aspirants for British Praise and Pence—Theatrical Goxsip. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, January 12.— Agnes Huntingdon, who used to be with the Boston Ideals is another American aspirant for praise and pence before the Brit- ish theatrical public. She made her first ap- pearance in England to-night in the Prince of Wales’ Theater, in the new comic opera of Paul Jones. The music is by Planquette. Aside from the first night’s drawbacks, the piece lacks lightness and vivacity. Patti Rosa has danced and kicked herseif into public favor. The theater is crowded nightly. A very fisttering offer has been received by Wilson Barrett to appear in Parisin ‘‘Ham- let’’ and other roles. Provided the dates can be satisfactorily arranged before the actor sails for his second American tour, the Parisian offer will be accepted. Minnie Hauck, who arrived from the conti- nent to-day, has been presented with the Duke of Saxe Altenburg’s decoration for art and science. The iatest news from Josef Hoffman is that as soon as his health has been sufficiently restored he will perform in London before doing s anywhere else, but the progress of his recovery is very slow. Albani, with her husband Gye | and concert troupe, salied in the Servia. Grace Hawthorne has been very ill but is recovering. Marie Decca lett Paris to-day on a concert tour of Bngland and Scotiand. According to the will of the celebrated Shakspearian scholar, Halliwell Phillipps, he has left all his electro plates, electros of wood blocks and wood blocks to the dunn peare Society of New York. Mansfield is nursing «a “sore throat and studying Richard Third,’’ which he proposes te produce in about three weeks.

There are almost as many English in the company now as Americans. This gives Beatrice Cameron a chance to rest and brings John T. Sullivan n the stage. CASUALTIES. The Tornado’s Victims. PITTSBURG, Pa., January 12.—The stupen- dous task of removing the debris from the basement of the Weldin building, on Wood street, was completed at noon to-day. No more bodies were found.

The patients at the bospitais are all reported as getting along wuicely, except Jno. Barbock, colored. The physicians en- tertain no hope of his recovery. Davy Jones Alone Can Tell. GLOUCESTER, Mass., January 12.—The great storm of November 2% and 26, which proved so disastrous to shipping along the New England coast, and in which many lives were lost, did not pass with ut leaving its mark upon Giou- cester. At that time there was a large fleet of fisuermen scattered over the various fishing rounds, allof which have returned or have een safely reported, with the exception of two, which are engaged in the Georges fixhing. These have been given up for Ist. They are the schooners Carlton and Joseph 0. The Carlton had a crew of eleven men, as fol- lows: Patrice O'Connell, master; Maurice O'Connell. Oscar Smith, Andrew Johnson, Martin Johnson, Aaron Anderson, Jobn Bor- eson, Wm. Bird, Michael Hines, Charles urke, Lincoln Simpson. The Carlton was built at Essex in 1869, measured 63.08 tons, owned by John F. Wonson & Co., and insured for $2,000 on the vessel, with an ‘additional insur- ance of 000 on the outfit.

V., January 12.—At the meet- ing of the Grade Crossing Commission this afternoon a compromise was effected between the New York Central Rallroad and the city, settling the grade crossing matter. The im- provements will cost $6,000,000 and will do away with the Central tracks crossing «city streets at grade. The revision of cost decided on was that the city pay one-third, random effort of some drunken rufflan. The latest scare of this nature is just now convulsing the picturesque little village of Pleasantville, seven miles beyond White Plaing, in West Chester County. Pleasant- ville consists of a number of pretty houses, a dozen stores, a railroad sta- tion, several churches and a couple of ghoe-factories. The village also boasts an excelient public school, presided over by a young man named George Heald. The opera- tions of this new band of so-called White Caps, as related by reputable inhabitants of the vil- lage, are in part as follows: Some two weeks since James Riley, 80 the story goes, was sitting in his saloon waiting for a chance customer, who might drop in at a late hour.

ATLANTA, Ga., January 12.—Athens is to furnish a colored missionary to Africa in the person of Tom Jackson, one of the most prominent colored men in the city. For several years Jackson has been work- ing there as a tailor and all the while he has saved his money. Now he states he is able to send himaelf to Africa as a missionary. Jackson isa man of above the average intelligence, and in giving an account of his plans seemed to grow quite enthusias- tic. He proposes to spend a year in ‘America preparing himself for his work, and then he intends to go direct to Siberia and from that point will push forward in his work. Jackson is a thoroughly religious man and confidently ex- pects to do good missionary service. He pro- poses to build a church in Siberia and then to — into the interior, Where he thinks work Ss most needed. In regard to the education of the negroes Jackson said that, not having a fine education himself, he could not think of attempting such a work, but that he would expend all his efforts in support of it. He goes, not as a missionary of any denomination, but of his own accord, in- tending to support himself. He has sold his shop and will leave Athens in a few days, Hard to Find a Bishop.

Some time ago the miners signed a contract fora year to work at $1 a ton as long as coal sold at $2.15, the market price then, but if coal rose they should get the benennt of the rise.

One of those present said be would give the cob- bier two 5-cent cigars if he could keep quiet for halt an hour. The offer was taken. ur- ing the next thirty minutes Mr. Olarke preserved absolute silence, despite all efforts to make him talk. With 4 mighty effort he shut his teeth hard and held to his seat upon a flour barrel. He kicked off his rubber boots, re- moved his coat and hung his straw hat ona convenient chair, to help bim keep silent. Hardly had this been done when the three White Caps burst intothestore. Everyone hastily arose, chairs were overturned and the young girl at the cashier’s desk uttered a little scream of fear. LASSOED THE COBBLER. The Caps waiked up to the cobbler, lassoed him with a length of clothes line and hauled him offthe barrel before he knew what was =>. Out he was dragged into the sharp night air in his stocking feet, leaving his straw hat and coat behind him. The Caps warned him not to stay away from home so much, and made him promise to re- turn et once. The cobbler said he would just as soon as he could get the rest of his clothes. He was released, and hurried back to the store. He got into his coat, dived into his straw bat, and tried to pull on his boots, but found the latter filled with apples and potatoes. These were dumped on the floor, and the foot was thrust in again but came to a sudden stop on some nails. Before he could get into the boot the Capsentered again, bound the line tightly around him and dragged him out and along the road to a lonely lot. : All the rest stayed in the store. They had thought at first that the Caps were jokers, but this latter proceed ing looked serious. They did not know buta hundred maskers stood outside ready to pounce upon anyone who tried to rescue the cobbler. THOUGHT THEY WOULD HANG HIM. The latter was taken to the tree and the rope was thrown over a convenient limb. Will you stay at home after this?“ he was asked. ‘*You,’* exclaimed the cobbler. And not go out and leave your family while you ‘chin’ at George's store? No; certainly not. We are afraid you will forget, I guess we'd better nang him,’’ remarked the leader. At this Clarke grew greatly frightened. He fellupon his knees and burst into tears, beg- ging the White Caps to release him. After another consultation it was decided to do so. The rope was unbound and the cobbler started on arun toward home. It is said that for near- ly @ week the man did not appear onthe street, James Wesley Knapp, who knocked the leader through the window, says he koesn’t think the White Caps will visit him 3 and he does not care it they do. r.

HARRISON can afford to reward him for it, or any of those who applaud it as a political feat of transcendent importance. Very few Republicans or Democrats are inclined to think that it helped Harrison more than it hurt him, and both before and after the election public sentiment in both parties condemned the trick and its perpetrators.

P. Huntrmxrecron and the California fruit and wine men are clamoring for the free importation of Chinese labor. Buta little while ago they were clamorous for Republican success and the protection of American labor. If they are unwilling to pay the price of protected white labor in California why do they not send for those multitudes of colored voters who, they tell us, are outraged, prevented from vot- ing and forced to work for almost nothing in the cotton States? In Républican Cal- ifornia they could be protected both as to their votes and their wages by Republic- an employers.

The mischief thus done is probably not fully compensated by the good that results sometimes from abuses of the minority’s power, and some modification of the rules for the restriction of such abuses seems to be in order.

Difficulties of Logging. By Telegraph tc the PO6T-DISPATOR. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., January 12.—The local lumber dealers have about completed the invoices of their stock, which shows that some 241,986,000 feet of lumber are now in lle im Minneapolis. The amount had n estimated ali the way from 250,000,000 to 300, C00, 000 feet. But, asis shown, the amount falls below the most conservative estimate. Telegrams recetved yesterday from ditferent camps contain unfavorable reports in regard to the - progress of logging operations. Messages from Pine River, and Daggett’s Brook, state that all of the hauling ie still done over ice roads, as the snow fall thus far has been exceptionally light, and the little which did come has disap , Parties owning shore timber are said to be doing good work, but at the majority of camps logging is attended with more than ordinary difficulty and expense. Those com- elled to make long hauls, and they consti- ute a majority, are the principal sufferers. As a month of good time hus been lost, it will be well nigh impossible to e up the shortage, even with a foot of su on the ground. It is claimed that under the most favorable conditions, from new on, big shortages in the log crops can be anticipated. Farmers Dictating Terms. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. CHARLESTON, 8.

All merchants will be allowed to bid but after the decision is made no member of the alliance will be allowed to trade elsewhere than at the chosen store. They are also trying to get special rates from railrosdas and fertil- izer companies, but neither of them will have anything to do with the alliance. A “Sleeper” Rolls Into a Creek.

The Elwood people, after second thought, how- ever, became convinced they had gone be- yond what the law allowed ,loadad up the cap- tured property and returned it to Homerville where it was received with jibes and jeers from the enemy. Yesterday the Deputy Sheriff of Homerville came to Elwood and ar- rested Constables Martin and Post, on the charge of stealing the Winchester rifies taken from the defeated Homervillians the day of the raid. There are all kinds of rumors afloat. Homerville is moae than anxious for a chance to wipe out in blood its recent surrender, but the people of Elwood are disposed to let matters take their course. Just what will be the outcome is hard to tell as a very little matter could readily precipi- tate an armed conflict. LITIGATION, — A Case of Much Interest Settled—A Senator Sued. BALTIMORE, Md., January 12.—Since 1887 a case has been pending in the United States Cirouit Court in which a decision has been waited for by many in Kent County with much interest. The case was that of Taggart & Co. against R. 8. Emory of Kent County. The suit was brought by Tag art & Co., on notes aggregating $20,900, in 887. These notes were given in December, 1885, by Robert J. Ruth at twelve months, to the order of Emory, and were en- dorsed to Taggart & Co. When the notes matured their amount was not paid, but similar notes were given in re- newal, at seven months, and the original notes were returned by Tiggart & Co. to Ruth when the renewals were accepted. the several notes were due they were dishonered and rotested. Immediately after this default in payment Taggart & Co. sued on both the original notes and the notes given in renewal. The admission of the genuineness of the first notes and the declaration by Capt. Emory that the renewals were skilifully executed forgeries was set up as the defense. The first trial resulted in A dis- agreement of the jury, and before the second legal battle was set for trial a compro- mise for $3,000 was effected. Ruth represented Taggart & Co. in hent County. u September 6, 1887, a short time before the forging of the note given Taggart & Co. would have become known, Ruth committed suicide at the residence of Mrs. Lydia Cinnamond in this city by swallowing eight ounces of laud- anum. The suicide was a premeditated one. Ruth left carefally written directions as to his funeral and the disposition of his personal property. He also left several letters, but none of them gave a reason for the suicide. Just before bis: death Ruth was engaged in business in New York Clty. To Save Abandoned Women. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatTca. Mapisoyx, Wis., January 12.—Dr. Kate Bush- nell departed for Pennsylvania to-day, where she goes to fill lecture engagements. The matter of urging upon the Legislature modifi- cations 0 existing statutes relative to houses of ill repute, which she came here fo set in motion, will be entrusted to the State Secretary, Mrs. Emma Curtis and to Mrs. Hanchett of Madi- son; Mrs. Dr. Shaw of Eauclaire and other prominent women ofthe W. C. T. U., with whom she has been in consultation. Dr. Bushnell believes that in im- prisonment lies the solution of the knotty problem. Where the statute provide the alternative of imprisonment or fine for keepers of houses of ill fame, she would im- pose imprisonment only, and where the. stat- ute imposes imprisonment for enticing fe- males of previous chaste character, she would extend the scope to embrace all unmarried females, whether of spotiess purity or the most hardened prostitute. , Said Dr. Bushnell: ‘‘If my investigation sat- isfied me of one thing it was that never under statute can houses of prostitution, and these infamous Northern dens, be driven out. Noth ing short of imprisonment, and that, too, for a considerable term of years, will ever wipe out or even mitigate the ei. This law specifies chaste unmarried women only, and in that regard it is defective. With prostitutes as readily obtainable as the are, Northern dens can never be abolished, and, too, should a girl who has once een an inmate reform, for him who again accomplishes her downfall there is no law. What the Temperance Union wants is imprisonment for the enticement of the most confirmed prostitutes as well.’’ tor the reception was 3 o’clock, but at 12:45 Col. Lamont looked out of the big windows and saw nearly a hundred people standing in line waiting for the portals to open. Some of them had come a long distance, and they did not propose to be late atthe feast. From all quarters they came, nearly all ladies, to join in the double file that waited patiently until 3 o’clock, when the ushers slowly swung back the doors and allowed the head of the procession to enter the White House. From that moment unt after 5 o’clock the big porte cochere was crowded with ladies and a long line of callers extending to the gates of the inclosure, and for a block down Pennsylvania avenue. It was the greatest crush ever seen at the White House. Within the choicest flowers and plants from the big conservatories had been used to adorn the rooms. THE DECORATIONS. The long east room was handsomely deco- rated with ferns, palms and potted plants that bloomed from every nook and corner of the great apartment. The pillars that sup- ported the roof were wound round with ropes of evergreen and bore shields designed with the coat of-arms of the United States done in red, white and blue immortelies. The other decorations were those used at that State dinner on Thurs- day night. The stained floor screen was parted this afternoon to make «a place for the Marine Band. Conductor Sousa bad bidden his men lay aside the strident brass for the tbrilling strings, and a dozen violins played the sweet strains of every light opera that eame into the head of the versatile leader. When a score of people pressing againstthe outside door asked if they could come in the Marines played ‘‘What Do the Dickie Birds Say?’’ and when the reception was over they picked a pizzicato variation of Home, Sweet Home, on their violin that was irrisistible, THE CHARMING HOSTESS. Urs Cleveland entered the blue room from the red eorridor. leaning upon the arm of Col. Jno. M. Wilson, and was followed * Mrs. Calvin as Brice, who was escorted by Lieut. Duval. They were followed by an innumerable train of ladies in waiting in pairs, Mrs. Cleveland took up her position at the head of the sofa barricade, on arrangement of the room that was introduced by Col. C- Michael in the late Gen. Arthur’s time. By her side stood the guest of the house, Mrs. Brice, and the others ip line were Miss Ellen Bayard, Miss Vilae, and Miss Daisy Garland, daughter of the Attorney-General, a debutante trio, and the other ladies received those, ho by reason ot their official position were entitled to pass the cerberus who guards the portals. MRS. CLEVELAND'S TOILETTE. Mrs. Cleveland looked like the ideal Juliet in the bridal scene. She wore a trained toilette of white bingaline with groups of white satin stripes. The front was “ec of white silk ganze, striped with tin, and was gathered at the half way between the bosom and the throat upon a ribbon. It was then confined at the waist and fell to the feet. The train started from the side and was edged all round with a full rucbin and was gathered fullat the back below the waist line. She wore a white bow about the back of her neck, a djamond crestent ena at her throat, her hair combed back p 11 a full coll at the top of her head, with a fringe on her neck, and the coll thrust through with silver orna- ments. She held a ian of white. ostrich feathers witb an ivory handle. WHAT THE OTHER LADIES WORE. Mrs. Brice wore a high-necked gown of ab- sinthe green brocade and China crepe. The front of the end and petticoat were of the crepe drawn full and had a high collar, side panel and pointed vest ofopal studded silver trimmings; the pointed vest had a deep ringe 0 silver, and the sleeves were drawn at the elbow. Mrs. Brice shook hands with every one that came and so passed them along the line. Miss Elien Bayard, the Secretary’s youngest daughter, wore a dress of biue silk, draped with silver-bangled tulle, and garnished with garlands of white roses, and she wore gold chains about her neck. Miss Vilas wore pink India silk, combined with pink crepe an old passementerie; the draperies were turned back with paiest green silk moire, and upon the shoulders were knots of ribbon in the same shade. Miss Garland, with her front gray lock the brown ones, wore a foreign gentlemen make it a point to go to the palace and pay their respects to the Queen as they hrase it, every time the doors are opened. he crowd outside grew very impatient asthe hour of5 drewnear. The line was still very long and some enterprising ladies forsook their places and tried to get in some other way. TRIED THE BACK DOOR. One fat old lady went round to the kitchen door and tried to bribe the cook to let her go up the back stairs. Falling here she tried to slip in at the door provided for an exit, but was captured by the gentlemanly sergeant on duty and escorted, blushing violently, to the rear of the procession.

Boston, Mass., January 12.—The poet Whit- tier makes some interesting remarks on Amerigan farming in a letter to the Essex County Agricultural Society, He says his brief experience as 2 tarm boy caused him to ever envy the farmer. He declares that the average Essex county farmer nowadays is entitied to the name of gentieman, being intelligent, self-respectful, self-respected and independ- ent. The curse of intemperance is not known among them. The rumseller has no mor on their farms. Says the poet: It may be said that they are not mil ionaires and that their annual gains are small, but on the other hand the farmer rests secure while other occupations and professions are in constant fear of dis- aster; his dealing directly and honestly with the Almighty is safer than speculations; his life is no game of chance ana his Invest- mentsin the earth are better than in stock companies and syndicates. hat rinted a substi- Boston, who enlisted last summer at the close of a lengthy spree. He was assigned toa troop ofthe Ninth Cavalry, and his comrades soon discovered that he was a rank coward. When the troop was suddenly ordered to Strawberry Valley, Jackson tried to feign Ul- ness, but was unsuccessful. He started with the troop at sunrise one morning, and at the first halt he deserted. It was shortly after noon when a wiid-looking rider on a panting horse, nearly dead from exhaustion, ap- peared at the fort. The sound of gal- loping hoofs brought the entire garrison out to meet him. Jackson’s clothes were torn, his hat gone and he looked terribly scared. The Indians!’’ he gasped, they are on the war path! There's a great upris- ing. I'm the only one to escape alive,’’ and he clutched at his scalp as if to make sure it was still there. He then told excitedly how a band of at least six hundred howling red- skins, in war paint end feathers, had sud- denly appeared from an ambush and dashed upon the troop of cavalry. The suddenness of the attack took the regulars by surprise and many of them fell vie- tims to the hideous rifles before they had a chance to draw their carbines. Lieut. W righ in command, rallied hig ate band-to-hand conflict Finally a tomahawk buried itself in Wright's Skull and he fell. According to Jack- son's story ev man in the troop save himself had been massacred and he bad run away oe the first appearance of the savages and had been chased for miles. Jackson told the story so welland appeared so imp with the terrible experience that he was be- lieved. The army officers ,from old Maj. Chapin who was in command, decided that the general uprising of the redskins meant death for them unless reinforcements could be obtained. o fort was at once in the best possible state of defense and couriers were dispatched ort Bridges and Fort Douglas for aid, instructions to 2 tho the Secretary of ar as egraph wire was found.

Lo un hes come to an end. MoNeary bas be- come a municipal character since he firet took possession of the saloon on Jeffer- son and Washington avenwes, known for a generation past as * Unrig’s Oave, because he has been involved with the residents of the biook in a bitter fight, on bis part to obtain a license to sell Hauors and on their part to preventhim. It has not been simply a neighborhood quarrel over saloon, but a stragetic fight in which wit und courage have been the weapons instead Of muscle and brawn, and its history contains nome very interesting incidents. The vroperty was leased to McNeary in 1882, and May 1 ofthat year he took possession, refitted the bar and prepared to do a saloon business. He took his petition for -mlicense to the residents of the block and easily secured a majority of names upon the application for a license. The petition was presented to the Oollector—Hudson it was then—and MeNeary had not the slightest doubt Dut that his license would at once be given him. He reckoned without his host, however, for opposition at once sprung up and the war ‘was inaugurated. Dr. William G. Eliot and Mr. George Partridge were the leaders of the opposition. Dr. Eliot was interested for two reasons. He lived onthe block and was Ohancellor vf Washington University, and one ofite departments, the Mary Institute, was also on the block. For these two reasons he wanted to prevent the establishment of a sa- loon where McNeary’s was located, and Mr. Partridge joined him because Mr. Partridge owns a number of dwelling houses on the block, and he thought 1 saloon s0 near by would depreciate the value of the property and accelerate the 122 of the residents of the They used their influence and bad Ba withheld until they had induced a eelat number of residents of the block to eir names from the petition to re- yw yy number of signers to a minorit McNea was surpris to learn that the ition had won, but he determined to He — that the lice ought to have been issued when bis peti was pre- sented and that Collector Hudson should not have held it out to give the opposition a ce to work st him.

McNeary stopped work on the building and nothin was done for a month, but the agent did not come back. Then he began building. The walis started up and had reached the second story. The da- painted bricks looked badly and the archi- tecture would have done no credit to the de- signer. But the agent suddenly appeared and again wanted to know on what terms the work could be stopped. McNeary said $1,000 and a license. THE AGENT PROMISED to let him know withina week.

A Baptist Clergyman Tackles a Pharmacy and Becomes Moistened. Kansas City, Mo., January 12.—When the list of the liabilities of the Rev. D. AK. Mo- Ewan, the retired Baptist minister who left the pulpit to engage in the drug business, was published there was one item which was not made public. R. W. Hocker of the Citizens’ National Bank, as trustee, took charge of the drug store on last Wednesday. The transfer was made by the Rev. Mr. Mo- Ewan, to secure a debt of $3,000 due the bank. Other chattel mortgages, given at the time of the transfer, or previously ro- corded, brought the total amount of the indebtedness against the stock and fixtures up to $9,345. On Thursday, the day after the . took charge of the store an- other ohattel mortgage was recorded in the Recorder's office. Mg te . F. 88d was given by Mr. McEwan Ogden, and although — 12 may, was only put on record last Thursday he mortgage purports to convey a one-half interest in the stock of drugs and fixtures. Mrs. Ogden is a widow of some means, and Is one of McEwan’s former parishioners. No one knew of the existence of this mortage until her attorney put it on“record after Mo- Ewan's failure.

Rv Telegraph to the PosT-DIsratcu. NDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January 12. The biggest of all the Southern Cabinet booms was borne into town last night by a delegation of Gressed-up Vir- ginians, repre- senting in twen- ty-two varieties he Republican party forces of the State of the first families. They came to tell Gen. Harrison all the good that could be said about Gen. William Ma- hone, what be bas done for the Republican party, and the things that he can do if he is taken iato the Cabinet of the President-elect. W. 8. Lurty came in * few hours in advanee of the delegation and was interviewed in succession by a dozen or more newspaper correspond ente, all of whom he told that his visis to In- dianapolis bad no connection with the Mahone boo. , but, just the same, he had a great deal to say in praise of the fire-cating Virginian as a volitical leader. A CONFEDERATE REPUBLICAN. Mr. Lurty is something of a politician him- self. Although a confederate who started into the war, as he boasts himself, ‘‘At Har- per’s Ferry and came out at Fort Delaware, be was among the firstof the reconstructed to join the Republican party, and he brought to it support that wus of sufficient value to obtain for him the posi- tion of United States District Attorney for Virginia, which he held for many years. He la one of the F. F. ¥V.’s’’ and is acousin of the lamented Stonewall Jackson. „Jam not in the least interested in the movement in behalf of Gen. Mahone,’’ Mr. Lurty said. For many years I was at daggers’ points with him. I didn’t like the coalition of Republicans with Gen. Mahone and bis fol- lowers, and I oppose it, but I recognize in Gen. Mahone a man of great ability as a leader, and when he came into our Republican State Convention I welcomed him and told him that he was the man that we needed as a ieader. He has done much forthe party. There ie no man in our section of the country who possesses the abil- ity to successfully deal with men and to lead It was under his — that he 72 2 as the Supreme Judges of , and he has increased the vote of the 1 we now have a majority of 5,000. n 1884 Mr. Blaine, who, it bas been supposed, wes more popular in Virginiathan any other Republican, received 189,000 votes. Gen Harrison, at the last election, got 150,000 and some hundreds, In Indiana, Iiiinols, — 2 braske or any of the other Western States, t increase — be accounted for as due to Gen. Mahone’s leadership. I believe that no southern mas could better or more satisfac- torily resent the South in the Cabinet than Gen. Mahone. BACKED BY AN ADDRESS.

The Contest Grows Warm Among the As- pirants in Minnesota, By Telegraph to the Post-DisraTcu. St. Patt, Minn., January 12.—The interest of the Senatorial fight Is now centered upon the proposed caucus. Upon the issue as to whether or not that shall be held hinges a great many things important gnd bear- ing upon the end of the campaign. The Committee on Oaucus have not yet held a joint session and will not before next Tuesday or ednesday, at which time some conclusion win de reached. The first ballot- ing of the Senatorial election must commence by law on Tuesday, January 22. It is therefore probable that the caucus, if it is held at all, must come between the I7th and the Tlat. Up to the time of the election of Col. Graves as Speaker, both the Sabin and Wasbburn factions were loud in their rofessions in favor of a caucus. The men said the least then, now to what their will in the caucus and it is probable that it it is beid and they scent the crooked work feared they will withdraw and refuse to abide by the decision reached. The independent members feel The Washburn men oa uus attendance of 127, whic we obably ebout ten too high.

The joint committee trom the Senate and House to fix upon the date of the Senatorial held a protracted meeting Merchants’ Hotel to-day. It | was impossible to get auy information in re- gard to the session. All the Senaterial fac- tions are represented in the committee, and there is every reason to believe that they wil have no easy time in coming to an agreement. As has been previously stated at the Wash- burn, men in the committee favor a caucus, but it is more than likely that the other fac- tions represented will oppose it. The German Vote.

The majority report, which urges high license, says cases of alleged violation of the Sunday liquor laws have been more numerous than any other single class of offenses. The wit- nesses in nearly all of them being unwilling ones, in kuli sympathy with the saloons, «ive poor results for the investigation of these cases. The re- liable witnesses evade a personal summons, and fail to appear until the attendance of this class is enforced. The result will be the same.

The details of | ‘ \ > ae, the story are about as os follows:, About 11 o’clock Mrs. J. 8. Kel- lam, wife of the man- meager of the repair — shops of the Pratt Mines Co., went out from her bouse a short distance back into the woods to look for a cow that had not come up during the morning. She was accompanied by her little son, Willie. When she reached the woods a yellow negro man accosted her, asking her what she was looking for. She replied, her cov. The negro then said: ‘I saw it down here in the woods about 100 yards. Iwillshow it to you.“ Mrs Kel- lam and her son started with the negro, but before reaching the spot the negro hit hera uttul blow on the head with a club, felling her to the ground. Her 8on ran for his life, but was overtaken by the incarnate fiend and had his skull crushed in with one murderous blow with the same club that had been used upon his mother. Mrs. Kellam in the meantime re- gained consciousness and seeing the fiend striking her son ran screanfing in that direction. The negro then took through the woods and made good his escape. The mother’s screams a the attention of a man running a stationary engine not far off and he ran to the rescue. en he reached the spot Mrs. Kellam had again fainted. Ad- ditional help was summoned and the mother and son (the latter dead) were taken home. The wound in the boy’s head was frightful to behold. He was killed instantly. After some time Mrs. Kellam regained conscious- ness and told the story of the assoult upon her and her son as reported. The crime has cre- ated the wildest excitement, and hundreds of men are scouring the woods about. Manager Rogers of the mines put his blood- hounds on the track of the fiend, but the bloodhounds lost the scent and only succeeded in running down the wrong man. A man answering the description is confined in the coal shaft at the mines and will be held for identification. Fully 200 men armed with Winchester rifies are scouring the country in every direc- tion. The dastardly crime created the wildest excitement and consternation at the mines, andif caught the perpetrator will De lynched. At 8.o’clock Mrs. Kellam was still alive, but her lifeis despaired of, as she is desperately hurt. The Coroner examined a number of wit- nesses, but adjourned the inquest until Mon- day. it is believed the negro murderer is in Birmingham. 1 > BULLDOZERS AT WORK. A Minister Suffers Brutal Treatment at the Hands of Roughs. N By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcnu. New ORLeans, La., January 12.—A young man named ©. Rockmaid, a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who came South from St. Louis, Mo., about four weeks ago, has arrived in this city after having assisted in revival meetings in some of the country parishes. Rockmaid has had a very exciting and unpleasant experience, and has not yet fully recovered from the treatment he re- ceived. He is about 21 years of age, ofa —— countenance and address, and was ut recentiy ordained as a minister. He was assigned to wmissiona work in Africa, and to fit himsel for his task he decided to visit the South and preach to the negroes for a time. About Christmas time he found himself in the vicinity of Spring- field, in Livingston Parish, La , and on Christ- mas night preached to a congregation of ne- groes. Atabout 9 o’clock he was returnin from the church to the house where he ha teken up his quarters wen, in the woods, he was beset by a gang of toughs, who seized him and bound a handkerchief over his oy . They then Gagged him, stripped him, and, throwing m down on the ground, held his arms and feet outstretched and flogged him —— ty ee A with clubs sticks and switches until his body was cut an bruised in a terrible mainer, and his hands and face scratched and cut by the switches and tue brambles. The only cause the bull- dozers assigned for the outrage was that he had ‘‘mixed with the niggers.’’ After the cong had satisfied their cruel pleasure they re- eased Rockmaid and advised him te get out of the country as quick as he could and not to dare to say a word about what happened to him. The outrage became known, how- ever, and the better class of the people residing in the town of Springfield and violin! denounced the act, but so far as learned no steps have thus far been taken to bring the offenders to justice. Bishop W. F. Malalen, who recently arrived in this city from an extended Euro tour, met the young missionary and was most favorably im- pressed with him. He says he is evident! earnest and sincere and not likely to give of- fensetoanyone. He said he intended to in- vestigate the matter fully in a few days with a view to having some action taken by the church authorities. _ — — ROUGH ON CALDWELL.

Fort Warm, Ind., January 12.—Two years in the penitentiary for defrauding a man out of his property and afterwards killing bim is the punishment which an intelligent“ jury this morning meted out to Jerry Shoaff, the defendant in the Golleoke murder case. Shoaff, a young man who prides himself on being a tough, together with half a dozen com- panions, entered the saloon of Mr. Gollecke last fall and ordered a round of drinks and cigars. Thecrowd, after partaking of the re- freshments, coolly started to walk out. The saloon-keeper remonstrated and wanted pay tor the goods, and Shoaff, picking up an tron cuspidore, threw it at Gollecke,: striking him on the head. He sustained a fracture of the skull and died from the injuries received. The trial has last - ed all week, and the evidence was overwhbe!m- ing to show the guilt of the defendant. The jury after being out thirty-eight hours brought n verd iet ot two years. It is rumored that some temperance people were on the jury who held out for an acauittal, and finally com- promised on a two-year sentence. There is great indignation felt here over the verdict, which is interpreted here as an invitation to the rowdy element to keep up their boisterous behavior. FEMALE GAMBLERS. Chicago Policemen Catch Some Tender Fish Im Their Net. By Tejegravh to the POst-DIsPATcn. CHICAGO, January 12.—Adelaine Jones, Maggie Emerson and Annie Smith did not look like gamblers when brought into the Des- plaines Street Station last night, but they were booked on that charge. There are prob- ably not many professional female gamblers in Ouicago, and consequently they were looked upon with considerable curiosity when brought into the station. Yesterday afternoon information was conveyed to Capt. Aldrich that a gambling house was in fu blast at 222 West Van Buren street. Just as the day was parting Officers Hartford and Meany rapped on the door of the above number and withoutany formalities proceeded to arrest everybody in sight. The three women were gathered in, as were also A. F. Lamb, D. V. Lamb, John Best, Frank Baker, Joseph Stevenson and George Howard. To say that the officers were sur- prised at the revelations made would be putting it mildly. Fu'l poker and faro lay- outs were found, the players having been surprised at the seductive game of poker, and other gambling apparatus was unearthed. The Jones woman was the proprietress, and the other two females were dealers. It was said that the place has been running for some time, the women conducting the game. Bail was fixed at $300 in each case and Justice Scully will hear the evidence Monday. — —— A LIFE SENTENCE. After a Long Legal Battle a Verdict Is Found im the Tennyson Case. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. OLATHE, Kan., January 12.—J. D. Tennyson, a wealthy farmer, 75 years old. came to his death under very suspicious circumstances on June 18, 1887. The attending physician claimed that he came to his death from the effects of arsenic. The community became excited and demanded a coroner’s inquest. The result was a verdict that the deceased came to his death from arsenic administered by the wife of the deceased, Lucy D. Tennyson. The stomach and other organs were analyzed by a chemist; who testified that he found suf- ficient arsenic in the stomach alone to kill two men. Mrs. Tennyson was arrested for murder inthe fret degree in June, 1887, and given a trial, but the case was thrown out in the District Court on a legal chnicality. The County Attorney made an appeal Supreme Court, which decided favor and sent the oase back for Mrs. Tennyson, who was in Missouri all this time, was rearrested last September. An- other attempt was made to try the case ata special term on the 19th of last November, but, on account of the absence of two material witnesses, it was again pet off to this term of , when it was finally called Tuesday and to-day decided and the defendant givera life sentence in the pénitentiary.

Two Presiding Officers at One Time and Charges of Illegal Voting—The Lutz Fac- tion Adjourn and the Rest of the Society Elects a New President—To Be Settled by Law. HERE was a high old time at the meeting of the St. Louis Medical Society last night. Every doctor present was excited to the highest pitch, and for a time the meeting in the room on the third floor of the Polytechnic Building resem- bled very much a political ward meeting. The speeches were be- ing made from all parts of the room at once regardless of order or precedence. The doctors laid aside all medical subjects for the time being and went into discussions savoring strongly of the personal and far removed from surgery and medicine. Charges and counter charges were made and the two factions into which the society had resolved itself, went hot and heavy. Every doctor in the place wanted to declare himself on the subject, and wanted the society to under- stand just exactly how he stood. It was only a contest over the election held last Saturday. On that day the two candidates for the presi- dency of the society, Drs. F. J. Lutz and I. N. Love, ran very close, Dr. Lutz getting 74 votes and Dr. Love getting 71. The Love contingent suspected and the Lutz contingent crowed. — | the case a pleasant conversation was carried on between the physician and patient, during which the patient touchéd upon the re and — —— pees Dr. 8 ow m es lay.

Immediately Dr. Love took the floor and had his say. His statement was in effect that it had come to his knowledge that illegal votes had been cast for Dr. Lutz at the election for president. He wanted to say from the start that under nd ciropmstances would he accept the position of president of the society should the proper investigation prove his charges true, * 1 Ni 1 py 1 ~ ‘ ; 8 * E > EES: 3 5 . * ’ N uw 2 al ’ 8 . 1 wa t * * 4 ae &% , ; vi

HE Post - Meraron Parnell Defense Fund, opened yesterday aft- ernoon, already bids fair to be a great euc- cess. By limiting the amount of cach con- tribution to s cents the rieh and the poor are given an equal voice in the testimonial of the free to the brave struggle of the Irish peo- ple for just laws. The object of the fund is a popular one. It i intended as a helping hand to Charles stew- art Parnell and his associates in their heroic ‘fight for Irish rights against the fearful odds of a powerful and unconscionable perscou- tion. Mr. Parnell is not alone on trial as defendant to criminal charges preferred by the London Times. The cause of home rule is on the rack, and the English Government is trying to torture the life out of it. The last struggle is eon. What that means oan hardly be comprehended by people who have spent their lives under such a Govern- =" ment as that of the United States. A ftew months ago Mr. Arthur O'Connor, M. P., standing on the stage of Music Hall, Ex- position building, as the emissary of the home ruler, addressing an audience largely American, said: ‘‘Do you know what coercion means? Possibly not. I'll tell you. He then painted a terrible picture of the condi- tion of Ireland to-day. The audience listened to the recital of legal atrocities daily com- mitted in Ireland with surprise bordering on horror. Tosecure relief from these op- ‘pressive laws was the aim of the Irish party in English politics. The effect of Mr. O’Connor’s 11 De said he would not attempt a speech, was wonderful. He had said that the fight for liberty was within legal lines and to advance the cause and relieve the want and misery re- suiting from systematic oppression the fands of the party and the wits of the Irish leaders were nearly exhausted. Mr. O'OCon- nor retired when one of the gentiemen stepped forward from the rear of the stage, and said he wouid constitute himself a committee to re- ceive contributions for the deserving cause just described by the speaker. The audience poured down the alsles towards the orchestra space tendering contributions often only limited by the limit of the funds in the donors’ pockets. The in- cident showed the sentiment of a sample audience of St. Louisans. The need of that same cause is now far greaterthan it was then. The fight has be- come more bitter. The power of the Govern- mentisarrayed behind the London Times in ite fight on the champion of Irish rights. Speaking of the expenses of the great trial Mr. Parnell ald: The suit is indeed very costly. Iecannot put it down at less than £50,000 ($250,000) on our side, while the case will cost the Tes, I should say, £150,000. The amount they have spent in witnesses is fabulous—and Imay even say grotesque—considering what littie return they are getting for their money.’’’ To the citizens of St. Louis and Missouri, regardiess of nationality, the Post-Disratcu in opening its 25-cent fund offers itself asa medium through which they may give a belping hand and a cheering vote to the men who are fighting for the right on the other side of tlie sea. The edition of the PostT-DISPATCH yesterday afternoon announcing the opening of the Parnell Defense Fund had not been upon the Streets half an hour when the frst contribu- tions began to arrive. At the residence of Dr. Thomes O'Reilly, Eighteenth and Washing- ton avenue, the announcement of the opening of the fund created a scene approaching con- sternation. Dr. O'Reilly is an enthusiastic friend of the Irish leader. His household con- sists of twenty-three souls, twenty-one of whom were present at the time, and within ten minutes the twenty-one members of the doctor’s household had signed a roll and con- tributed 25 cents each, as credited below.

MILLERS IN CONCLAVE, An Excited Gathering of Flour Men Held at the Lindell. An important meeting of the St. Louis millers was held last night in Parlor 17 of the Lindell Hotel. Nominaliy it was noth- ing more than a regular routine monthly meeting, but in reality the discussion which took place en. braced a me — and led to not a little Ii feeling. de regular routine business wasquickly dis- patched and the question of appointing dele- gates the millers convention, which assemblies in Indianapolis. on February 6 was next brought up. Here it was that the first symptoms of trouble mani- tested themselves. The question of the Mil- waukee cement, limiting all winter wheat mills to half production from the month ofJanuary was en up, and a num- ber of millers took this occasion Ot alrlag their grievances, real or imaginary’ John W. Kauffman was called upon to bear the brunt of the attack, his alleged. vio- lation of the Milwaukee compact de- ing rte animadverted upon by sevy- eral of those present. Mr. Keuffman gavean explanation of his supposed breach of the agreement, which was supposed to be satisfactory, and further discussion on this oint was ones The gathering hen resolved itself into a mourn- ers’ mecting, and the grievances the winter wheat millers, general and particular, were discussed at great length. After a long session the appointment of a committee to represent the St. Louis winter wheat millers at the Indianapolis convention was postponed, and the meeting adjourned. Among those present were President Louis Fusz, Secretary Alex H. Smith, John W. Kaufman, Geo, Bain, Geo. H. Plant and many others.

K. | Mr, Edward 8. Holden, Director of the Lick Observatery, Sums Up the Question—The Karly Observations—The Nature of the Surface—Changes that Take Place—The Canals of Mars. [Written for the Suxpay Post-DisPraten. | Tisin the memory of all that the past ten years have yielded mtch thatis new and important relating to Mars, our nearest neighboring planet. From time to time we hear of the submerg- ence of Martial ‘‘con- tinents’’ on the sur- face, of the ‘‘duplica- tion’’ of these oa nales. The names of Prot. Schiaparelli, Di- : ; rector of the Milan Observatory; of M. Perratin, Director of the Observatory of Nice; of M. Terby, etc., are not unfamiliar in this connection. Yet I doubt if even the attentive reader of astronomical news, as it appears in the dally press, has as clear a notion as he would desire of just what has been done and of just what the problems are hieh are next to be attempted. The present is perhaps a good time to sum up the question, as all the observations of the last apposition are now available, as the Planet is to be invisible fora considerable time to come and especially as M. Schiapa- relli, the discoverer of the most important feautures, and M. Terby, one of the most as- siduous observers, have lately printed full discussions of thelr own work and of that of others. BARLY OBSERVATIONS OF MARS. Fontana, Hooke and Huyghens, 1636-50, were the first to observe the spots and markings on Mars. Their observations were directed to the determingtion of the rotation period of the planet. A certain spot is on the center of the disc of Mars at 10 p. m. ot Monday, for example; it gradually moves away from the center towards the western edge of the planet; it disappears, and finally it reappears at the eastern edge and again becomes arr at about ll p. m. of Tuesday. The rotation time isthus about 25 hours. It is, im fact, 24h. 87m. Nes. The drawings of Mars made in 1666 are easily compared with similar drawings made to-day, and the rotation period can be determined from about 80,000 revolutions of the planet on ite axis. We have drawings of the planet from Cassini, Maraidi and others aboutthe end of the seventeenth century, and other observa- tions and drawings Ly Sir William Herschel and by Schroeter about the end of the eigh- teenth, but it was not until the observations of Maedler (1830) that the accurate and de- talled study of the planet’s surface began. With his small Frauenholder telesco of eter- mined of the pu a As f. Schiaparell marks, Maedier’s bears the same relation to maps Mars that the map of the great mathematician and geograpber Eratosthenes (about 200 B. C bears to the earth. From 1860 to 1860 the map of Maedler re- mained the standard ogg 4 The observa- tions of Secchi, Dawes, alser, Lassell, Lockyer and others afforded material for the compilation of new charts. Finally, from 1875 tothe present time the planet has been assiduously studied by the distinguished ob- Server, Prof. Schiaparelli, who has made this subject. peculiarly his own, as well us dy many other competent observers of England and Europe. A few observations of value have also been made in America, but from one cause or another the larger telescopes of this country have not con- tribu as fully as they should to the know!l- edge of the surface markings. The discovery of the two satellites of Mars by Prof. Hall at the Naval Observatory in Washington xives America a large share in the progress of the last decade, however. It is interesting to notice, in passing, the et- fect of the labors of a distinguished astrono- meron the fortunes of his own observatory. The astronomical establishments of Italy are the oldestin the world. It wasin Florence that Gallleo was making hie astonishing dis- coveries when Milton visited him. Yet they have always been poor in equipment. When Schi li took charge of the Royal Observa- tory of Milan its principal instrument was a small telescope of four inches aperture. His pepe | of the asteroid Hesperia by means of thig telescope was the cause of the purchase ot a larger instrument of eight inches in 1875. His discoveries on the planet Mars led again to the installation of his present 184¢ inch re- fractor, one of the world’s great telescopes, in 1885. Thus the modest observatory of the earlier years has become one ot the great iIn- stitutions of the world through the skill and assiduity and learning of its chief astronomer. THE NATURE OF THE SURFACE OF MARS. The surface of Mars when viewed in the telescope is at once seen to be divided into regions of three classes, whose principal dis- tinction is in color. The reddish regions have been called conti- nents,isiands, land; the dark greenish regions have been called seas, oceans, gulfs; the whitish regions near the poles of Mars have been identified with the polar caps of ice and snow. In general these latter wax and wane as they should with the Martial winter and summer; and inspite ot minor variations it seems to be fairly proved that they are in fact what they seem to be—namely, masses of polar snow orice. If snow and ice exist on the planet there must be water there, and the vapor of water. The spectroscope yields in- dependent evidence of the presence of watery v r tn the planet’s atmosphere also. Whether the dark green or the reddish regions are the oceans, seas and gulfs has never yet been settled by observation. The colors seem, by terrestrial analogies, to designate the green aréas as oceans, the red as land, but his distinction is one based almost ex- chusively on analogy. The encroachment of een areas upon red ones is now explained as partial submergences of (red) continents by the neighbaring (green) seas. But the case may be the exact opposite, and in fact it is quite possible a very different affair altogether. The limbs or edges of the planet are alwa of a lemon yellow hue, which tint usually masks the sharp lines of the markings. It is — no means understood how the absorbtion the planet’s atmosphere operates.

Having got into literature I suppose the right to review her remains just where it was when she was content to stay in mock heroines. The privilege of weighing her work is un- disturbed whether she is shouting or shin- ing.

The world of wealth and fashion furnishes the world at large statesmen like Theodore Roosevelt, Perry Belmont and Henry Cabot Lodge; actresses like the Langtry and the Potter; railroad presidents like Chauncey M. Depew and George B. Roberts; authors, piay- wrights and what not, but rarely a scientist like Br. Elliott Coues of Washington, who is at the Victoria Hotel. Equally eminent in ornithology and theosophy Dr. Coues has in both a reputation wider than the continent. As an oraitbologist he ranks second, perhaps,to none in the world. As a the- osophist he has created and can almost at will create to-day a very profound impression on both the initiated and the Philistines. Dr.Ooues is an erect, striking-looking man, whose deep, dark eyes seem to carry asecret. He is fond of warning the uninitiated that de isso sur- charged with virility that itis dangerous to stand in front of his eyes ortrifie with his movements. It has been said of him that he and conversationality are perpetually estranged, Dr. Coues knows more than any man living, in this country at least, about the flight of birds, aud writes quite frequently on the subject for scientific periodicals. Dr. Coues has shot over the game water of North Aweriea and studied in their own haunts the habits of its game birds. He is president of the American Board of Control of the Theo- sophical Society and has been reckoned a warm friend and upholderof Mme. Blavatsky. At of the alleged ex- Mme. Blavateky, a year ago, was announced that Dr. Coues was going to India to straighten mat- ters out. Instead of which he married a brill- lant and wealthy Bostonian, Mrs. Emily Bates.

He had just received two interesting communications proffering unsolicited and appreciated honors. One was a letter asking him to be godfather to the latest offspring of the ducal house of Buckingham. he other was a letter from Prince Russell Harrison, accompanying a large-sized photograph of the Preside.t-elect.

Mr. Villiers isa ö lusty looking fel- low, dark halred and eyed und whiskered, his chin beard and pointed mustache giving a Gaellic expression to the lower part of his face. Hie personal appearance is quite in con- trast to that of Melton Prior, the ruddy little representative of the London Jlustrated News, by whose side ou the battie-fleld and cam- — march r. Villiers, representing tne ndon Graphic, has often bivouacked. He is equally unlike Archibald Forbes, the inter- viewer of kings, and Henry M. Stanley, the conqueror ot savages. Villiers was educated in France and returned to England not lon before the Servian war with Turkey, whic ut him in mind to be a war correspondent. n twenty-four hours after he had broached the subject to Manager Thomas of the London Graphic, he was en route for the Balkans. There he fought and wrote with Archibald Forbes of whom he became a great [friend and with whom be was associated in the greater Russo-Turkish war, which followed in 1877.

The Goethe Series at St. George's Guild Room Followed by Lectures on Art— Wm. T. Bryant Discusses the Symbolism of Greek Architecture—Synopsis of Yés- terday Morning's Very Interesting Talk. S A RESULT of the lee - tures delivered at the guild room of Dr. Hol- land’s church, upon Goethe this winter and upon Dante last, a per- manent organization has been effected for the purpose of insuring their continuance in other series of lectures of like eharacter. A full list of the officers chosen, embracing the names of those who have been most prominent in the work, are as follows: President, John W. Noble; Vice- Presidents, Mesdames Henry Hitchcock, John W. Harrison, Edwin Harrison, Beverly Allen, George H. Plant, W. H. Pulsifer, OC. L. Free- born, W. H. Clopton, Miss Susan V. Beeson, Miss Leonora Halstead, and Messrs. James H. Dillard, Charles Gilderhaus and Joseph Otten; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. E. O. Sterling; Executive Committee, Mrs. R. J. Lackland, Mrs. H. Olay Pierce, Mrs. W. E. Ware, Mrs. George W. Allen, Miss A. ©. Fruchte, Miss Gertrude Garrigues and J. G. Woerner. This organization is to be known as the Dante School, and the first continued course under its auspices is now in progress. This course consists of ten lectures on art, two of which have been given, delivered Saturday mornings, by W. T. Bryant. Mr. Bryant’s lecture yesterday was on the ‘*Symbolism of Greek Art. It was delivered in the Guild Room at St. George’s Church, Beaumont avenue and Chestnut street. The following is A SYPOPSIS OF THE TALK. We have seen the symbolism of Egypt to be full of enigmas. And we have seen in the Greek interpretation of the vocal Memnon an intimation that the solution of these enigmas finds its begin- ning in the civilization of the Greeks. To this clv:lization again the key - note may be found in the legend of Cadmus, for the legend is itselfa beautiful symbol of the rhythmic character so conspicuously dominant in the whole Hellenic race. There is at the outset a significant intimation in the fact that Cadmus himself is represented as a descendant of Neptune, one of the Greek divinities. His eventful career, too, is begun through the in- tervention of another—the chief of the same pantheon. Thus at the outset Cadmus is seen to have both a divine descent and also a divinely appointed destiny. His sister Europa is borne away by Zeus. Cadmus in search of her traverses many lands and finally enters Hellas. Here a strangely beautiful shepherd meets him and directs him to the shrine of Apollo, where he will find clear guidance. Obeying, he finds that Apolio him- self is one and tbe same with the shepberd. Cad ums is to follow a cow along the way until she ilies down, and there he is to build a city. In Egypt animals were themselves embodi- ments of divinities. In Greece they are mere instrumentalities ior the furtherance of the des gne of gods in human form. This is em- phasigzed in the legend by the fact that no sooner has the animal served the purpose in- dicated then Cadums offers it as a sacrifice to Athene, the Goddess of Wisdom, dy whom, then, he will be guided in bullding the city. At the outset of this enterprise, too, he finds himself in flerce conflict with the dragon sacred to Mars, the god of war. In the devel- opment of civilization the savage forces of disorder must be overcome. Nor is this a simple task. He must sow the dragon’s teeth in the earth, whence spring up a multitude of armed oes threatenin his existence. Athene hints to hima simple means of secur- ity. Astone cast into their midst sets them upon one another and all are slain save five, who lu theirexhaustion submit themselves to the leadership of the divinely directed man who alone is capable of rule. The city be- comes a reality and Cudmus establishes alt the arts of peace. His laborious mission is ac- complished, and now the gods whom he has aerved would re- ward him. Now can the gods themselves discover any more fitting reward for him who bas been the willing instrument in estab- lishing divine order in the world than the Goddess Harmonia as his wedded companion for the remainder of bis life. ‘*‘Nay, all divine influences are grouped as if by inevitable attraction about this man who — does what the gods require. The gods emselves attend and honor his wedding with Harmonia, while the Muses sing the wedding - hymn. All forms of beauty find their truest rhythmic realization through the union of this divinely gifted pair. ‘‘*Significantly, too, the wedding robe of Har- monia is presented by Athene. And nothing could be more appropriate than that Harmony should be clothed in garments woven by isdom. Taking thie richly suggestive legend as the clue, we may note how the rythmic char- acter it unfolds is present and dominant in all the architectural as well as other work of the Greeks. IN THE EGYPTIAN ARCHITECTURE, indeed, we found all characterized by vague- ness and vastness. In the architecture of the Greeks, on the contrary, there ig utmust clearness and simplicity, so that rythm of form rather than vastness of dimensioa is the element found most impressive. Among the Greeks, too, we find two strongly marked types of mind and life and two correspona- ingly marked types of architectural coastruc- on. How the Doric and the Ionic character came to be differentiated from the primitive Hellenic stock and from each other can — | be conjectured. That this differentiation too — before the Heilenes discovered and en- ered into the lands we know as Greece seems nd question. It was in the migrations from their primitive home that the separation between Dorian and lonian became complete, each division csasing from ita wandering only when it came into the presence of such phase of nature as satisfied its own deepest though undefined yearning. Thus it vas thatthe Dorians, with their dominant mood of reticence and simple re- serve, found a congenial home amid the K mountain masses of Northern Greect, while the vivacious lonians experi- enced complete restfuluess for the first time when they came upon the shores of the miid, yet everr ean sea. **Thus, while the native distinguishing char- acteristics ot these two remarkably contrasted divisions of the Hellenle race could uot bave had their origin in the merely external forms of nature, yet these forms reacted soem those characteristics. seems evident, t if no therefore, other people could bave develo the same characteristics, merely through the influence of the same forms and forces of nature, so also the Greeks themselves could not have unfolded their peculiarly admirable qualities in any other lands than serge of G 4 ‘If now we apply thisto the Greek 1 % in the * ta ot ere first all 5 = pe — eS „ 0 22333 et BR tec , x ih BEI, RAE ae if“ » : a 1 a G iM bie + Jaa i a . 73 ; ‘ Pte Rete p ̃ . ³ -. p SL EIR TRE.

Starvation Staring Northwestern Settlers in the Face. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. St. Pact, Minn., January 12.—Interest in Walsh County sufferers was again revived to- day by the receipt of a letter from Rev. G. J. Omland, of Walsh County, to Rev. Brum, of this city,in which the statements made by Rev. Richos are strongly corroborated and leaves no ground for any belief other than that desti- tution of the most appalling nature does exist in western Walsh County, the denialof the Park River Board of Trade and County Com missioners to the contrary notwitstanding. Rev. Omland states that the need west of Park river is so great that there is danger of starvation among the most recently ar- rived Scandinavians. Public appeal was not made until the more fortunate had shared with their less fortunate nelxhbors. Now there is absolutely nothing left in the com- munity upon which to subsiet except frosted wheat, as stated in the former appeal. Com- mittees have been at work there for some time past, but their endeavors have been con- fined to their own countrymen and distribut- ing where the needs were the greatest. A Juvenile Bace War. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. RICHMOND, Ky., January 12.—At Berea Cel- lege, which was established in 1856 by Cassius M. Clay for the education of whites and blacks together, a race disturbance has occurred which may bring serious trouble and a radical change in the school. On January 1, when it is customary forthe students to select their seats ut table for the year, ten white boys chose seats together atone table. This was noticed by the colored pupils. At supper a colored boy slipped into the vacant seat of one of the ten. The steward had given his consent to the white boys’ arrangement, and when the races t. ox sides in the quarrel it was tempo- rarily adjusted by giving the white boy his seat. That night the colored students gath- ered about the whites, and with threats told them if they were too good to associate with negroes they should not have come to a negro school. An angry quarrel ensued, and on! with much difficulty was blows prevented. was final’y decided, contrary to the principles of the school, to allow the white students a table together and the colored boy keeps the seat he took. A white student from O left school and his seat at the table of ten, and it remains unoccupied. Tribute to George Bain. .

They do nos propose to give gach child an entire outit, Out to simply supply 4their most pressing deeds. Some will be given shoes only, if it is found that the rest of their clothes are in a good or fairly good condition. In other cases the children may have good shoes aud be in want of sufficient ‘underolothing. These wil! also be given what they need the most. In some cases it will be necessary to give the chiid a whole outfit of shoes, stockings and underclothes. The purchases of the committee have been excellent, including sboes of all sizes, from that for the baby to the shoe that will fit a 18- year-old. They are of splendid quality, being made of heavy, piiuble leather, with good stout soles; one pair of these shoes, with ordinary care, will last until the time when the children can go bare-footed again. The flannel which is »being made up into underciothing is very heavy and warm. Two of these sults willbe given to the children who are given underclothing, as it was the verdict of all the committee that unless the young ones could wear the samt kind of underclothing all the time it would be injurious to their health. The stockings are good enough for anybody, being strong and heavy and thick. The com- mittee has not yet made the necessary pur- chases, but a good supply is on hand and more articles are being bought every day. The committee desires all who can do 80 to come to the headquarters at Eleventh and Locust streets aad help! culttng outand making up the garments te be given to the poor children whose parents can not find time to sew the clothing at home. A large number of ments must be cut up for distribution, and it is this work that the com- — 1 — done by the charitable ladies of Louis. **POST-DISPATCH’’ CHILDREN’S FUND QUARTERS are well arranged and very convenient for the work. There is one large room, about 100 feet square, well lighted and amply provided with sewing machines, chairs and cutting tables. The machines are all arranged on one side near the windows where the light is good. Every convenience is handy to help along the work and make the workers comfortable. If the ladies of 8. Louis will display their usual charitable and come fo:ward to lend assistance the work can be done in a short time and a great deal of — will be accomplished for the or chil- ren. The dry goods houses of St. uls can give the Post-DisPpatTcu Children’s Fund a very decided lift by douating to the fund all those remnants of dry goods of all kinds that are constantly accumulating in every |! dry goods establishment.

Within tha“ short time the expend - ture of over a million dollars has been as- sured for the construc- tion of six commercial structures. In this connection it may not be amiss to republish from last evening’s Post- DisPaTcu the follow- ing table for the benefit of some who may be inclined to doubt the facts as stated: To begin with there is the Boatmen’s Sav- ings Bank building at the northwest corner of Fourth and Washington avenue. The exterior of this structure alone will cost The interior, it is estimated, will cost from $50,000 to $100, mo re. Edward J. Gay’s new buildings at the northeast corner of Fourth street — Olark avenue, scene of the late Danici M. Houser’s building, north- west corner of Broadway and Chest- nut street D. Nugent’s new building and im- —— on Broadwa 41. — 2 avenue and St. Charles 150, 000 The. — Cupples warehouse to occupy the old Seventh Street Mar- . Sore on between Poplar and The Bell Telephone’s nev building, at the southest corner of Olive and Tenth streets This certainly is a véry good showing for the business district at this early stage of the season. For residence and smaller store buildings the outlook isexcellent. Nearly all the architects are at work now making plans for spring work, and the great amount of home building that is going on now in all sec- tions of residence territory is a mat- ter of very general comment as such extensive improvements are unprecedented at this time of year. On every side and in all quarters house mechanics are at work putting on the interior finishing touches or laying the foundations for another structure. Better indications for the spring sale of property have never been realized. These are facts which more than discount any opin- ions as to what the future isto be. There is a splendid market for property now, as the numerous sales reported in the Posr- DISPATCH during the week amply testifies. One of the best indications of the market is the mom gph number of small sales reported, which goes to show that money is plenty with the masses and the people at large are speculating with their savings in real estate and are buying homes. In addition to the smaller sales there was quite an array of larger transactions. The largest of these was a transaction con- * dy the Anderson- Wade Real Estate „ the property being the vacant lot, 76x100 pant at the southeast corner of Twelfth and Locust streets, which the firm sold for the peice stated to J. S. Sullivan of Jefferson Ong. his lot }, Wee parehesee May 11, 1887, Festus J. and Louis J. W. wall and they were severely criticized at the time for what was then regarded as a very foolish exhibitidn of speculative nerve, * that they have made a profit of about 7, 000 out of tne premises has changed the tune of the croakers, who will now give the yous men credit for being shrewd buyers. Mr. Sullivan purchased the site for investment and the Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. say he is ready to put up any kind of a building atenant mey require, as the property was bought with a view to improvement for a permanent investment. Other prominent events of the week in the real estate market were: The purchase of the First Presbyterian Church property at the northwest Gorner of Lucas 2 1 and Fourteeuthettreet by 8. H. Leath for $40,000. Daniel Cafijn’s purchase of 1. 107x162 feet on ground situsted on the north line of Oitve street west of Sarah for H. Fraxier's purchase of thirty-seven acres of ground southwest of Forest Park and about 400 feet from the Clayton road for 12, 000. The purchaye of 38.34 acres of Kinloch form at $125 an acry by Mrs. Sarah Chambers. The sale of do feet of er round on Olive street between Newstead and Pendleton avenues, at $27.50 4 foot. One of the agents who has been assisting in making a great many sales of Lucas piace property recently reports of only a few of which, howeyer, have as yet been in print says that several of the parties who were firat to buy there have since resold at a handsome profit, but as yet the deeds to none of these transactions hyve passed between the prinol - pals.

In- Gacious gang is that which makes raids bé- tween Valentine and Chouteau avenue. An incident which may be cited as a fair sample of the boldness of this crowd of youthful ma- rauders, oceurred atthe foot of Plum street Friday afternoon, and was witnessed by 4 number of people. Four cars laden with coal were being pulled down towards Chou- teau avenue, and atthe Plum street crossing a crowd of about eighteen boys got on board and began to pitch off coal at a furious rate. There was a brakeman in charge of the train, but he was either afraid of*the. crowd or else did not care to interfere withthem. At any rate he didn’t, and they threw off the coal in euch a way that asa witness said to-day it seemed as if their intention was to entirely empty the cars. In about five minutes they had thrown off fully seventy-five bushels. BART ADAMS, Superintendent of the Crown Coal Co., which has an office on a darge at the tot of Plum street, saw the whole scene, and thinking it was not right to let such an outrage be enacted without any at- tempt to make the perpetrators suffer for it, called up the Chief of Police and informed him of what had occurred, telling him also that the robbers were even then engaged in a quarrel about the division of the spoils, and if police were sent Gown the entire gang could be captured. The police did not come, but an agent of the Missouri Pacific road did, how- ever, and he, with the assistance of others, awed the crowd and held them until an empty car was backed up, into which the thieves were made to throw back the coal which lay on the ground. It is not every day that they throw off as large an amount of coal at one time as they did Friday, but their aggregate stealings during a day will amount o a great deal. Probably a better idea of the magnitude of their stealings can be obtained from the statement of a railroad man that fully twenty-five youths make a gvod living in this way. The railroad man who made this statement has been engaged on the Levee for a number of years, and apeeking. about the bold raid made on the coal cars Friday, said to a Por- DISPATCH reporter last evenlug: I NEVER SAW THE LIKE of it since I have been on the Levee. Between Pium street and Chouteau avenue there is no watchman during the day, and it is impossi- ble for the Plum street and the Pacific agent at Chouteau avenue to keep watch * the cars — these two ints.

THE COMMERCIALCOLUMN OF TRADE AND FROM WALL STREET. A Smash in Wheat—Effect of the Govern- ment Report—A More Solid Appesrance te Corn and Oats—Provisions Have a Ballish Look—The Meney Situation— Stock Items—Local Markets — Gossip From the Floor. HICAGO, January 12.—Smash went the wheat market to-day. It broke yesterday. on a ‘tip’? that the Government esati- mate would show a crop of 420,000,000 bushele and it : slumped to-day on the practical confirmation of the ‘‘tip.’’ The estimate was 6,000,000 bushels short of the pointer figure, but the total was big enough to give the bears tremendous courage, which they were not slow to use. The break to-day carried the orice of May wheat down to $1.00% and January was quoted at ic. Min- neapolis broke 30 and New Yor closed panicky on the ‘‘curb,’’ with millions of long wheat pressing for sale, A lot of foreign limits were reached and the orders filled before they could be withdrawn or lowered. Last cables were weak and New York advised that not less than 56,000,000 bu of futures, held for foreign account, would be sold Monday unless the tone ofthe market should change radically before Monday. And the Government report is credited with hav- ing wrought this wonderful transformation a revolution in sentiment so sudden and so radical that the bears, who would have been delighted a week ago with assurance that wheat would go to I are vebemently prophecying 8 cents, while the bulls stand around scared and feverish with fear, willing to admit the possibility of almost any calam- ity. Seventy-five per cent of the bulis who rode up on the boom to §1.23 have biown lu their winnings and are where they started from. Of the remaining 2% per cent half have done nothing since they floated out of their winnings, and the other halt have been playing the bear side of the deal with eminent success. What does the Government report say, and what is the lesson it teaches? It gives the crop at 415,000,000 measured busb- els. Deduct 380,000,000 bushels for short weight, a not extravagant estimate, as millers concede, and we have ieft 385,000,000 commer- cial 60-pound bushels. Since July 1] there have been exported 50,000,000 bushels, leaving 885, - 000,000 bushels, or 5,000,000 bushels less than the inside estimates of the amount of wheat required at home for food, seed, the manu- factures, etc. Thus it would seem that if exportation should cease, we would have 5,000,000 bushels less in sight and reserve on the Ist of next July than we had on the Ist of last July, when supplies were admittedly and nvtoriously sinaller than at any time for five years and considerably within safe limits. The statistical situation is quite as strong as the more ardent bulls figured on when they were bidding $1.20 for ay wheat, yet the realization is less full of terrors than the an ticipation, and the same bulis’ crowd is now disheartened and whipped. What is the matter? New ork and St. Louis speculators have now alot of money in their market since wheat left $1.18, and the hard-betting local bears have re- covered more of the money they dropped on the ground boom last September and ber. Wheat closes to-day lower than it has been for three months and a half. Nat Jones and other plungers of his ilk say the market is headed for 90 cents. Of course they know. Fairbanks is sweating blood. He is not penoralty supposed to be carrying much igh-priced wheat, but he cannot look with pleasure on the radual disappearance of his paper profits, which at one time must have been in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. He won a $2,500 bet with Ream to-day, the latter having luid that amount yes- terduy that May would go to $1.00 to-day. Ream oan afford to pay the loss, as he turned bear several days ago and clea * 000 on the break that bas since occurred. airbanks took on an additionai lead to-day, and Hutch. inson’s interests are now N to be on the long side.

It seem to be resting on rock bottom, and wise ol eommission merchants, who do not advise their customers once a year, are sending out letters advising against short selling at these prices, and suggesting that ow would be a good time to buy a littie. The short interest in corn is immense, and the movement from first hands clear through is falling of sharply. Oorn looks like a buy to the old stagers.

ALL STREET, New YORK, January 12.— Although speculation is as dead as the proverbial door- nail and the two thon- sand more or less active members of the Stock and Con- solidated Exchange have transformed themselves into a lot of ‘‘eighth cnasers’’ in order to make both ends meet, Wall street is keeping a close watch on cur- rent events. The conferences held in this oity during the past week of course transcended all other matters in importance and in some quarters are expected to be the salvation of an ermy of poor brokers and speculators. Sofar as the general public are concerned, they are at the moment wholly independent of the ups and downs of the stock list. Such of the outsiders who formerly took a flyer when the profits of their legitimate business warranted the risk long since retired from the feild either through disgust at the way they were handled by the leaders of the street or through a more potent cause, a lack of the needful to satisfy their speculative desires. Another and a very considerable set who have been fortunate to have a surplus to invest have quietly paid for the securities bought and bave them securely locked in their tin boxes to be sold perhaps on the next boom. The situation is both novel and inter- esting to everybody but the firms who have a retinue of clerks, private wires and expensive surroundings to maintain. These are in a state bordering closely on despair. When in December several leading banking firms with the backing of their important and influential branches abroad began the work of bringing the railroad presidents into line it was pretty generally agreed that at last things were going to change for the better. Drexel, Morgan 4 Co., having been successful manipulators of various great deals, to say nothing of their work in the resurrection of Huntington’s Uhesapeake & Onio enter- prise, the cry wentup that the roads west, northwest and southwest of Onicago would immediately be transformed into big dividend payers again. Wall street likes to anticipate, and as it was hungering for something new it took to the promised new order of things with a good deal of unction. It may be that the scheme will be carried through, despite overbuilding of roads, ex- cessive capitalization, legislative restrictions and other considerations; but on the bull side apesaiasecs are significantly silent. They h een beaten so often in the last few — 2 that they prefer to suppress their ardor —that ie 80 far as their pockets are concerned—until they can see exactly which way the wind in going to blow. The spurts in the Marketon Friday and Saturday may or may not prove the forerunner ofa better con- dition affairs in the future. Is all de- pendent upon the efficacy of the latest device to maintain the rates of transportation on a ayin basis? It true that the presidents have agreed never to sin again, but itis quite evident from con- versations with some of them that they are distrustful and will watch each other with eagle eyes. 4. 7 2 | — > j In this connection an interesting corre- — open was made public to-day which sheds some — on the peculiar methods and ertifices o managers in getting around agreements ang even the law. President R. R. Cable of the Rock Island, who has claimed alone to be in possession of docu- ments piacing the onus for the violation of the agreement at the beginning of the year on the Missouri Pacific, has addressed a commu- nication to the presidents of the road, whe attended the recent conference, He presents affidavits which show thatthe regularrate from Fairfield, Neb., to St. Louis on January 3 was 20 cente rer hundred, which is equivalent to 11.2 cents per bushel forcorn, while the rate from Fairfield to Chicago was 2% cents per bundred, that the difference between the price df r corn at Fairfield loaded in Missouri Me gars and routed by Hiawatha and the rice offered by a certain St. Louis firm free on — St. Louis, in other cars was 94 cents on bushel. This was uivaient to 7 cents per hundred pounds, being3 cents per hundred leas than the regular established Tate. The complainant, liam J. Pope, claims that the special rate ‘effectually pre- vents the shipment of grain from Fairfield to Chicago so long as other railroads exact the regular rates therefor, and bas actually re- sulted in the diversion of a large trafic, orig- inating in the territory in which Fuirfleld is locat from the city of Chicago to the city of St. Louis. The transaction ou which these affidavits are based is set forth by the complainant, Wm. J. Pope, who says that he has in his possession an original contract for the pur- chase of rain at Fairfield, signed by a prom- ment commission firm of St. Louis, bearing date of January 8, 1689, from which an ex- tract is given, to- wit: ‘*This confirms the = of you this day of Any cars, 600 busbeis each, of No. 2 corn at dente per bushel, f. o, b.

They had taken the wheat and corn markets and rap away with them, notwithstanding the energetic protest- ations of the bulls. Wheat especially siffered severely, losing largely in value and selling 8e below the preceding Saturday's close. There was but one side to wheat all the week and that was to sell it on every reaction, no mat- ter how small that reaction might be. Why wheat was a sale has been pointed out in this column time and again, and the same reasons still hold good. Thereisno demand for the actual stuff at the prices rulingin this coun- try, except for local consumption in this country, though it must be admitted that this consumptive demand is now improving. But Europe will have none of it, and dppar- entiy will not wantany wheat until the price gets down considerably below where it is now. Speculation, outside the large centers, is almost dead and the outside buying that is such a mainstay to the market is lacking. The crop now in the ground never was in bet- ter condition to withstand the rigors of win- ter; the rigors which, like the latter, have not come, at least so far, The longs are demoral- ized and the shorts aggressive, the latter play - ing on velvet and eager to crush the market down still further. The last straw was the Government estimate of the 1888 crop, that it was near 415,000,000 busheis.. This knocked the last hope of the bulis, who believed that the final returns wonld show the actual yield to be 875,000,000 bushels or less. Manipuia- tion appears played out as an influence. It ut the market too high and heid it there too Its are now reap- whiriwind. The bears will sell wheat too low. y. do that and have to y for aying, but it doesn't look as though the bottom was near as yet. Yester- day May was down to #8%c and July sold on the ‘‘curb’’ at sse. The decline in Muy from the top figures last October is Aue. «* * St. Louis is away ahead on the break in wheat. The feeling has been bearish to an extreme among local talent, that is, among the majority of those who whoop things up and down in the st. Louie grain pit. Con- siderable caation has marked the opera-, tions of some of the bearishly inclined and as a consequence the plums they pulie out were not as rich aad juicy as those a few can pluck when they think the plums are ripe enough. Now, there is Moses Fraley. He's been an out-and-out bear, yet the ping in- stinct appears to be so strong in hm that he has 1 an in-and-out game, buying in on small profits and patting out lines on hard spots. So that while has undoubtedly made good money, yet his winnings will not stack up with others working the short side. The trader who is generally believed to dave out the big - gest line vf short wheat is K H. & one of the hewviest plungers in the pit. of his line is in July, which is said to millions.

Flour millers are stillcroaking about hard times, the dullness and depression in trade, etc. They appear, however, to be doings first-rate business for this season of*the year, when trade is usually very dun. Most of the mills are running, the millers are buying wheat to a considerable amount every Gay, — out flour and shipping it awey. It bas been a difficult matter to ascertain local mill - urchases of wheat each Gay, Seemingly artul that if it was known it would influence the wheat market, they take ca»t-iron pledges of secrecy from the sellers as to the amounts sold and the prices — That the price has been pretty fall, is nown to be a fact from the way the figures are approaching the — 7 options price. Cash wheat will undoubtedly sell even with y before that month arrives. Another thing suggestive of bow firm the flour trade is, is the fact that while May wheat has declined largely the price of flour basn’t suffered at all. U- ers demand and receive the same figures for their flour that they did over two weeks ago. Some of the pit traders who go on the ‘‘ourb’’ are grumbling because they have to meet in a bucket- shop,“ and have the nerve to elaim that the Exchange should allow them to meet in the hal b afternoon. As ‘‘curb’’ trading is under Exchange and as made after 1: man easily run That, aaa eubeedly, is wha e big gune of ers’ actual ers * ut of the sublime, seo massive is the gall displayed. This ‘‘curb’’ trading, except so far as go puts and calis, would not be indulged in here were it not that ‘*‘eurb’’ quotations come from Chicago in the afternoon. These Chicago ‘‘curbe’’ sare made on the Open Board there, uo regular or repu table bouses in that market attempting to trade after hours, and refusing to send these quotations out. The St. Louis Exchange’s new of Directors might make an Hort to suppress the ‘‘curb’’ here H they were not afraid of exciting the indignation of some of their customers. Some of the Exchange members are out for economy and reform with a ve ance. The have already started in and thelr fret effort is directed against Exchange employes, Yeater- day a certain member was quietly canvassing the floor for signatures toa petition addressed the Board of Directors, asking that employes’ salaries be grounds are that the pgp employes are paid too much money for e ces they render. The party carry- ing around this petition’ must have been somewhat ashamed of his errand, for he was very careful to approach only those who he thought would favor the move. the Merchants’ Exchange was h up and really suffering for funds this reduction in salaries could be asked for witn reason, but when A big bod like the Merenants’ Exchange, with a surplus of $600,900 that it doesn’t know wat to do with, and a revenue so far in excess of expenses thata good lump sum goes tothis surplus yearly—when such an organization cuts its employes’ salaries, after raising them where they are, it will look very small indeed. It may be clalmed that the employes are over- paid, but that such is the case a no reason why they should now be reduced when there ig no occasion for it. * * R. M. Hubbard, one of the newiy elected di- rectors, expresses his astonishment, likewise his satisfaction, at the numerous advaatages that accrue to the position of a director of the Exchange. Besides the honor attaching. to the position, he claims that it entities him to free market reports, rebates on grain inspeo- tion charges, cigars from the Secre ’s box and free lunches from the Cate de Cooney. Could one ask for any more? While wheat was holding on obstinately some time ego and it looked as though it pever would break, a well-known member of the St. Louis Club, one who takes a flyer“ in —.— occasionally, was overheard solllo- quizing to himself: ‘*Thnat blank wheat is like Banquo’s ghost.

An Encouraging Outlook—The Outputs of the Carbonate and Fryer Chutes. Special Correspondence of SUNDAY POsT-DISPATOCH. LEADVILLB, Colo., January 10.—There is a geological question still unsettled in Lead- ville, which is of great importance to St. Louis people, in that the future of the Small Hopes is dependent upon it. This ts whether or not there is an ore chute in Yankee Hill, between the great ore chute of Fryer Hill and the Star ore chute of Carbonate. The ore bodies from which the Small Hopes has been 80 very gproseeses are connected with the Fryer ore chute by stringers and pockets of ore running into the Robert E. Lee and Lit- tle Sliver properties, and by many the Small Hopes bonanzas are considered offshoots of the Fryer Hilicbute. Some ot the most ex pert geologiste and engineers of Leadville owever, are of the opinion that the Small Hopes’ ore bodies bel to another ore chute, which for convenience may be called the Tan- kee Hill. The fact that the ore bodies of the Small Hopes and Robert E. Lee are connected is no evidence against the theory that each be- lo to an independent chute, for all of the ola ht ore chutes of Iron Hill are connected in this manner. THE YANKEE HILL ORB CHUTE. There is strong evidence ig favor of this supposititious Yankee Hill ore chute. South- west of the Forest Ci ne are the Hibernia and ney Queen and the Pitsburg (not the Little Pi — TB iy eva | in each of which important ore es have been worked. In fact the Hibernia was one of the richest mines of Leadville in the early days. Northeast of the Forest City lies the Denver Oity and Shamus O’Brien; then comes the Alles any. and then the formation of Yankee Hill Droken by the iron fault, which crosses from Iron hill. By this fault the country lying northeast has been uplifted. Beyond the Alle- gheny property is the Scooper, in which rich ore was min near the surface only a few yeara ago. Now all these ore bodies, that of the Pittsburg, Hibernia, Forest City, Denver City, Shamus O' Brien and Scooper, are in line and the course of that line is northeast and south west, like the course of all the Leadville ore chutes. If this seed ‘eae |e ore chute actually exists t will pass directly through the h.therto unexplored por - tions of the Small Hopes territory, the Result and Robert Emmet claims, and the Small Hopes is likely to be as heavy a producer as it ever was. This is only a possibility, however, and is not sufficient reason for any one to a Small Hopes shares. The new McOorm shaft is being sunk onthe line between the Result and Robert Emmet claims, and is tairly well located to strike the new ore chute if it exists, The shaft is Be @ .peneneer,’ ae mn n po N probable depth to which it wilt te is to sink the shaft to strike the contact tween 450 and feet.

An Active Market—Stocks Sold and Prices Obtained Yesterday. Instead of the usual languid mining market of Saturday, yesterday’s trading was by far the heaviest of the week and nearly all stocks showed a strong advance, * f *” * West Granite appears to have changed its nature. Some time ago it was always very active on call, with little trading afterward. Recently the call has shown but little demand for this stock, trad- ing becoming very active. The cause is to be that a bid or offer for 100 shares will either advance or depress the price ifmade during the call, thus transfer- ring large operations, an effect which is not observed to follow a similar transaction when made after tacit understandin the call. There appears to be a among brokers to do lit- tle trading on call ns unt u this stock, pos ning 0 a later hour. ester- day but shares of stock were sold on call, the price paid being 82%.

Who he was before he donned Uncle Sam's regulation regimentals his comrades neither know norcare. Suffice it for them that he is a professional soldier, beating professional wheelman at theirown game. If he wins the race nothing at their disposal will be too good for him. Brooke says he will present him with a $100 handsome gold watch and also procure for him his discharge from the serv- fee. These alone are prizes worth striving for, but the victor will also receive a big slice of the receipts, $800 to $1,000. The sum is not to be sneezed at by any poor man. Knapp began to hoist signals of distress shortiy after 7 o’clock, and as the evening progressed it became evident to everybody that his strength was failing him, but he stuck pluckily to his work and never relaxed the day. The ‘‘unknown’’ was nine laps behind him and riding with ease. About 9 o’clock the unknown suddenly relinquished his dog- ging tactics and shot ahead of Knapp ata nineteen mile clip. The Denver lad bent his back and worked hard to regain his grasp on the pole, but hie waning strength was not equal to the emergency.

A gentieman who left Sulphur Springs, Mo., on the 5:40 o’clock train yesterday evening in- formed a representative of the POsT- DISPATCH that shortly before the above time a man named Alexander was shot and mortally wounded by some unknown man who quar- reled with him over a trifling offense. The unknown individual after the shooting made good his escape. Sulphur Springs, Mo., is a little town about twenty miles south of St. Louis, on the Iron Mountain Railroad. The gentieman said that he was attracted to the scene by loud talking, and, while walking slowly to the place where the men were stand- ing, saw one man pull out a revolver and fire. As the train for which he was waiting was approaching, he got few particulars. Some of the bystanders said that Alexander was shot because he informed the officials of the town that bis assailant was conducting an illegitimate business. Later reports were to the effect that the townsfolk were up in arms endeavoring to find Alexander’s assaliant, Sulphur Springs cannot be reached by tele- graph after 6 p. m.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. 2 EW YORK, January 12. m—Secretary Fair child has ordered that all the epecjal treasury agents in the country who can de spared from their posts of duty shall hasten at once to this city to assist in a thor- ough top-to-bottom in- vestigation of the office of the Appraiser of the Port. The Chief Supervising Special Agent, Col. Jewell, will arrive here from Washington day, and Col. Montgomery, Chief Treasury Agent at Boston, has been telegraphed for, and wi get here atthe same time. Mr. A, K. Tingle, the special agent, one of the three who investigated the Custom-house two years ago, will be jn New York to meet them. As fastas the other special agents arrive they will be assigned to the respective lines of detective work for which the Chief Super- vising Agent thinks them to be best fitted. This important step is the result of a confer ence at the Custom-house yesterday after- noon, in the Collector's office, between Co lector Magone and Appraiser A. B. Stearns of Boston, who has temporarily taken charge of the office made vacant by Mr. neun,. removal. STARTLING FRAUDS. Evidence of a startling nature as to the corruption and rottenness of the Appraiser’s office under Mr. McMullen’s management was presented. There is not the slightest thought of reflecting upon the personal integrity of Mr. MeMullen, whose unfortunate position, alter along and faithful service of thirty-six years in,the Appraiser’s office, arouses gen- eral sympathy among the Custom house Officials. But there seems to be no doubt Whatever that the most gigantic frauds hav been perpetrated during the past three * re in which he has been the head of that impc tant office. fh Certain merchants have been favored at $i expense of the Government and of honest importers, undervaluations on an enormous scale have been permitted and the Treasury Department has been defrauded of millions of dollars. That may seem like a strong statement, but it comes from no less a per- sonage than Appraiser Stearns. The pre liminary work of the investigation will begin to-day as soon as Col. Jewell arrives. . HEADS FOR THE BASKET. * It is predicted that within forty-eight hours the removal of Assistant Appraiser Sterges of the division having charge of the appraise- ment of tobacco, whisky and groceries will follow.

LIGHT westerly wind had crowded the spacious [Pater of the Dewns wit y enchored vessels. rue oolor, the ap- 7 parel, the quaint bravery of the ships and mar- mers of the last century made 6 noble and spark- ling show of tne marine pageunt. The hour was a little before sundown, and the gush of warm red glory past the giant headland went in a tincture of dark gold to the zenith, and thence pale as amber to the eastern sea line, witha hot crimson head of cloud here and there vaguely defined upon the delicate radi- ance, whilst the horizon ran with a line as Clear as though scored with the sweep of the leg of a pair of compasses. It was an evening in the month of Septem- ber. There was scarce fewer than 300 sail of vessels gently straining at their hemp cabies tothe easterly set of the water. They had’ come together as if by magic, for that morning the historic tract of waters had Steeped bare to the white terraces of the -Forelands whilst now the multitudinous Shipping showed like a forest’ upon the sea, gay with fluttering pen none delicate asa bit ot pencilling with the wondrous intricacies of the riggifig brilliant with the red sheen of the waning lumtoary upon glass and brass; upon the writing of gilt-work upon quarter gal- leries ahd casteliated sterns; upon innumera- pie tigure-heads of fantastic device; upon » yellow spars where the expiring flames in the West trembled in veins of burnished brass. An old-world scene of this kind is not to be matched nowdays. The iron craft has en- tered the soul of the marine andis dull, flat, prosaic. Ships of fifty fashions filled the Downs. that evening. There was tbe towering three-decker grand asa palace abalft, with handsome galleries and spacious windows trembling to the luster that rose to them from off the running water, the red coatsof marines dotting the white lines that crowned her adamantine defenses, sbronuds as thick as cables soaringto huge round tops, from which, higher and higher yet, rose topmast and tongallant-mast and royal- mast into miracles of airy Gelicacy, from whose central spire languidly floated the pennon of the ship ot the state. There was the Haat In diaman outward bound, newly brought up, scarcely less regal in ber way than the first rate, with Jobn Company's bouse flag at the main under the dog-vane that glanced like a streak of fire to the raining of the splendor be- yond the line of coast, the red flag at her back, the grinning lips of cannon along her sides, the glitter of uniforms upon her quarterdeck, and rows of lively hearties aloft upon her top- sail yards snugging the spaces of white cloths into lines of snow. There was the little bilan- der bound to the Mediterranean, rigged with a long lateen yard upon her mainmast; the high-sterned pink; the round-bowed sturdy snow; the galley ofa hundred and fifty tons, Whose long, low bull, with ports for sweeps, gave her a most piratical look, with a malig- nant fancy to follow onof a breathless calm anda stagnated vessel, toward which this same galley is impelled by ber huge oars, as though she were some vast deadly marine in- sect subtly though swiftly stirring to the im- pulse of its antenne. The scene was full of lightand life. Standing on Deal beach, so quiet was everything ashore, so still this hour of sundown, you would have heard a blending of innumerable sounds softened into music by distance—the Strains of fiddles in the nearest craft, the voices of men singing, the pleasant noises of FIA carrying a face as red as he flag he sailed under. lope you't 8 ick up ashore,I do.

It will be a matter of £28 te me; who am now ina condition to view even a6 pence as avery se- rious thing.’ Trust me, trust me, Mr. York,’’ the — exclaimed with a oheery wave ot h 5 The ean young fellow 7 Jeremy Tork, lowered h * wy the boat; a ome bundle pparently the luggage he had—was hande A down by the skipper; he flourished his hat; the crew of the brig,éome of whom were at work upon the fore e and some aloft, gave him a cheer; in a moment or two he was being swept shgrewards by the vigorous arms of a brace of boatmen. It was pow gatk; the Western hectic was gone, the sfars floated in a showering of briil- lant points to the liquid dusk, that hung giim- meriess above the horizon, with here dnd there a round-browed cloud with a sheen upon it Uke the head of a snow-cloud, rising to ob- gcure a narrow space of the sparkling dome. The foreland soared wan and massive from the white wash of the water swept darkly to upon which were d the houses of the town of Deal, whose ore — this — winked with ite row oradim illumination in places 1 e-paved windows, and a brighter streak of light striking through an open door. High and dry upon the shingle rested groups of boats; and at intervals, as York approached the beach, he would — 6 4 noise like to a rash of water upon oo and mark some little fabric newly launch wirt- ly making off on a small buccaneering cruise of its oon among the shipp ping, or maybe to intercept some shadow over ing past the Goodwins with her hold full of silks, tobacco, tea and spirits, to be run“ before the morn- ing, and under the noses, too, of the lookout aboard the first-rate and the revenue people, Seadg" solitary and austere, along the tall olze or the long, low line of beach. 12 5 1 in Deal just nos“ York in- quired of one of the boatmen.

The Kind of Opera Masic That the Public Wantse—Young and Old Ballets—At. tractions Promised for This Week—Gossip Chat. ris was one 5 event in the local theatrical This was the resur- rection, the revivifica- tion of Italian opera in the English lan- guage. a The old favorites of the melody school are not dead. They still have the power of touching tenderchords and awaking inspirs- tion and euthusiasm. The public may take Wagner and Rubin; stein and Goldmark in a spirit of educational advancement, and at long intervals between lessons. They take them garnished with all the rich beauty of artistic and lavish stage mounting and in- terpreted by great artists. But the people long for tunefulness. They like to have the strings of music stirred into thrilling harmony by the touvh of the bright | spiritof melody which presides over sunny Italy. They want soul, romance and the concord of Sweetsounds found in the sweet and tune- ful airs that abound in the works of the best English and Italian composers. That they will take the melody operas with few specially attractive adjuncts was proved by the fais success of the New American Opera Co. It pongessed a number of capable, earnest, artistic singers with good voices, such as Natali, Clara Poole, Vetta, Alonzo Stoddard, William Bassett, E. N. Knight and promising, sweet- voiced Lizzie Macnichol. Mme. Natali deserves particular praise. She changed easily and gracefully from light opera roles to grand opera roles, handling both with skill and spirit; such parte as Leonora, Violetta, Maritana and, Lucia with dramatic force and fervor; Marguerite with tenderness and sweet pathos, and Marie with dash, piquancy and rollicking comedy, her voice showing cultivation, ample power, unusual range, and her execution being even brilliant. Here are six performances all different and all requiring the highest artistic treatment. It was bard work for one little artiste, The organization labored under difficulties in having no substitute soprano until the ar- rival of Alida Varens, which somewhat marred a performance or two. had a light chorus and a kitten ballet, with the — movement, characteristic of But with the capital orches good management, ef 1- trained ents lent ensembie the old operas were reviv a thoroughly enjoyable way. be company will be welcome 22 charming relief from e grand English ope pere,on broken operate ree pitas = the opera ballet was a kitten pallet per- pone 3 ie corps is best described as a cat There was no lack of massive limbs and mature charms in his dancers and no lack of A de 1 ewe and generous dash. result would have been better it * — had been some connection between the straing of the orchestra and the measures of the dancers.

I then found that the brutes who brought fim in from the Indian country had drawn his arms back and bad run A STICK SHARPENED AT BOTH ENDS through and through the fleshy parte of his arms above his elbows, and had tied a string or a thong in the middle of it, and thus deliv- ered him to the authorities. Well! he was cared and attended to, and was carried over to Illinois and tried for his life at Vandalia, before the United States Judge there. He made no complaint or defense. He was condemned and executed there. He was passive and stupid untilhe was brought to the gallows; the rope around his neck and the certainty of his death thus assured to him. He then asked leave to sing ‘‘his death song’’ which he did. He recounted his former deeds of daring against the whites. He said they were his enemies; the enemies of his race, that he gloried in the scalps ofa certain number that were hanging up yet in his lodge, all white men’s scalps ; wished there were more of them, as there would have been if he had lived. He said he had done * he was ashamed ot or so for, and closed his recitative by expressing his joy that he was now going to the land of the good Spirit and brave indians, and that be was now ready to die. Those around were astonished at the bold, joyous strain of his death song and the striking change in his appearance and manner. THE MO There were various relics of the former gov- erments, French and Spanish, left, and some- what curious, when I first arrived in St. Louis in 1819. On the upper range or terrace of land west of the town there were at various points, round towers of stone or martello towers, one of which bad been used as a prison. They were known to have been erected by the Spanish government as posts. They were marked features in the view of the town. At the northern extremity of the range was a large stone fort or bastion in pretty good preservation. The town had already come up to these old land marks, and I doubt not lon since has gone beyond them. On the nort had never heard of the custom. They had also kings balls“ among the French, when the lady, as Queen of the Ball, No. 1, selects any gentleman she pleases, whois then King of the next. He chooses his Queen and makes her a costig present, generally a ball-dress, (the more expensive, the more kingly) and so the balls goon through the whole carnival Tower That Stood at Foot af Cherry Street (Now Franklin Avenue.) for some weeks before Lent. These were queer customs to me. I mention them as typical of what happened fifty years ago and are perhaps now obsolete. I knew Joe Immel, an old Indian trader and trapper, who told me he saw an Indian on horseback shoot a buffalo through and through his flank with an arrow, and that once when he was on the Maria River he saw a buffalo killed by a grizzly bear. He first * 4 ty WY! 22 7 4 4 ' 11 | ' as * THE OLD CHOUTEAU MANSION. and some distance little from the town was a t mound of earth, perhaps thirty feet igh, shaped like the mound ofa grave, and below it nearer the river a series of accurately formed terraces running down to the Mississippi from the edge of the high- est land. T were gigantic works mani- festly artificial and of unknown 6 and origin. The walk to the ‘‘Grand Mound” and the ‘‘Falling Gardens,’’ so called, was a favorite one with the citizens. The existing bes of Indians had no tradition of them as structures of their people, but a vague belief that they were the works of a race of white o pr them in the past time.

HOW BIRDS FLY. A Forgotten Naturalist Who Was Thirty Years in Advance of His Time. From the Washington Star. , Among the many interesting papers read at the session of the American Ornithologists’ Union was one by Dr. Coues ‘on the flight of birds, which for several reasons attracted special attention. Dr. Coues was not present- ing his own views on this difficult subject, but took the occasion to bring to notice cer- tain views published thirty years ago bya Washingtoufan, Mr. BR. Davidson, in a pamph- let entitled A New Theory onthe Flight of Birds.’’ It seems that Mr. Davidson was en- tirely unknown, not only to Dr. Coues him- self, but to all the other ornithologists pres- ent, and it was par due to the desire to bring his paper, hitherto ored, to the proper attention of scientists that the speaker presented itand gave a brief resume of its contents. Dr. Coues did not claim that Mr. Davidson had the matter entirely right, but he thought it only justice to a hitherto neglected author to say that Mr. Davidson’s fundamental ideas and propositions were in close accord with whatis now the accepted explanation of the mechanics of flight; that the discovery was no doubt original with Mr. Davidson, and too much credit could not be given to one who thus showed himself to have been nearly a generation in advance of his timesin this par- ticularjline of original research. Atthes time Dr. urged upon the attention ofthe union the necessity of care- fully examining and sifting the evidence brought forward by Mr. Davidson, especially in the light of late studiesof Mr. Edward Muy- bridge on the whole subject of animal locomo- tion by means of an admirable series of instan- taneous photographs. The fundamental prop- osition isthat gravity, orthe weight of the bird, so farfrom being that which is simply to be overcome in flying, is the greatest factor in the mechanics of fight, without which mo- memtum would be impossible. It is well- known that, as a rule, the birds which fly the fastest and strongest are those whose bodies are the heaviest in proportion to their spread of wing. Gravity acts upon flight somewhat as does the string of a kite, which at once holds the kite down and enable it to rise against the wind. Many other points are involved in different cases and under different circum- stances, but in all of them gravity is the most important factor. g In speaking of the matter to a Star reporter Dr. Coues said that he bad failed thus far to discover who Mr. Davidson is, if he be still alive, but that he desired always to give credit where credit is due, and hoped that the pre- sentation of the paper before so distinguished a body of ornithologists would at least result in rescuing from oblivion the name of a meritorious and ingenious stadent of nature, who had perhaps dd before his discoveries were appreciated.

GLOBE, 705 to 718 Franklin avenue. A Wedding in India. From the London Queen. . A picturesque marriage ceremony was re- cently celebrated at Lowjee Castle, Parel, the residence of the family of the late Mr. Arde- shir Hormusjee Wadia,the bride being the fourth daughter, Bai Cursedbai, of Mr. Arde- shir, and the bridegroom, Surgeon Rustom- jee Hormusjee Cama, Mad D., grand- son of the founder of the Bombay Cama Hospital. Parsee weddings are generally celebrated in the evening, a second ceremony being repeated at midnight, but on the present occasion, setting aside this ancient usage, it was arranged, in conformity with the wishes of the bridegroom and his relatives, to perform the ceremony in the morning. The approaches to the house, the hall and the veranda were handsomely decorated. In the center of the reception-room was a mag- nificent chandelier of 1 — beneath which were displayed the wed 8 presents to the bride, consisting of diamond, ruby, emerald and gold and silver jewels. The bridegroom, his relatives and friends, arrived soon after 10 o’clock, accompanied by the band of the Fourth Bombay gy Me and plenty.

This paper never opened the year with brighter prospeots than it does now. age now begins to give it a solidity which, as a young squint of a journalistic venture, it did not heretofore: pos- sess. For its coming year it will therefore be bright, breezy, racy, N fresh, zossipy and still instructive Ina high degree. While catering to the tastes of the careful student, it will also bubble over this year with parenthetical „laughter, and *‘prolonged laughter’’ will be an every-day occurrence. There will be articles of interest from time to time, by some of our most entertaning Congressional writers. Notable articles on Dakota by Cox, war history by Ingalls, Sher- man and others. Special articles will appear from time to time, by its best writers, both in the House and Senate, men who will, during the present year, give up more of their time to the preparation of such addresses or essays for the Record, and lessto making speeches than heretofore. In past years, too much has been thought of delivering these speeches or opinions, and the printing has “~ Senator Hoar’s Galley. been considered secondary; but now the edit- ors of the Record hope to print the best work of Congress, in advance of ita delivery, or in many instances giving much better and en- tirely original matter in the Record. Page after page of the magazine will this year be used for this purpose exclusively by the pub- lishers, and thusit is hoped that those who have heretofore gone to the House or the Senate to listen to a speech will become paying subscribers to the Record, in order to get more and better literary staff. It is thought that the time will come at last when Congress will be merely opened with the aid of a powerful prayer and the various associate editors of the Record will repair to their committee rooms thus refreshed and purified, to write their editorials for the great magazine and its eager readers. In the humiorous department several changes will be made with great advantage to the paper; it is thought Senator Riddleberger will give less time to histrionic humor hereafter, and thus have more leis- ure for sparkling and bubbling in the columns of the Record. Heretofore many of his best things were not reported, as the blue pencil has slaughtered his brightest and goodliest humor. He will now have a chance to do his best and see that his work is properly printed without change. Mr. Rid- dleberger will also handle the laughter font and (hic!) galley under contract with the editor of the Record, with a positive obligation on his part not to contribute to any other paper in the meantime. his may read like a puff for the Record, but I feel a growing interestin the paper whichis far above mercen consider- ations. The po per is one that I nave watched with much solicitude for many years. It has had ahard struggle and other papers have hopped on it inacritical way that made my heart bleed. Now itis r It has a good staff and, best of all, it is backed by Con- ress with writers like Preston B.

Now it will be differ- ent. Earnest men will be detailed with nothing else todo but report the crimes and misdemeanors. The applause editor will be dispensed with, each man being allowed here- after to insert his own applause, as his good judgment and fine discrimination may sug- gest. For the coming year the Record will also award prizes to large clubs in order to extend its circulation over our entire land. Bound —— of the Record will be offered to those getting up the largest cash club. Bound copies of the report of the commission on diseases of swine for 1878 will be given to those making, the next best record. This book is especially interesting, and should be on every center tuble. It is well printed, and has bright red pictures of the hog in health and disease. Neither the hog nor the author should be ashamed of his works, so long as they are so well handled. The study in con- — livers is alone worth the price of the ook. The report of the curculio commission, illus- trated, will make another prize book. treasure entitled, The Home Life of the Bott, showing the bott in health and dis- ease, se that anyone can pick‘out a robust bott in an instant. The ‘‘Loudest Resonant Report of the Microbe Commission’’ will be offered asa prize. The Record will also ask the public to i the number of beans in a jar which will be hermetically sealed. Anyone acting in good faith may guess the numberof beans con- tained in the jar by paying 50 cents, and if successful he will have to get up pretty early in the morning. If he should not succeed in guessing the right number he will still have a chance to subscribe for the paper, provided he shall act in good faith. In closing, I will say that the next ten years will see great change in what we may be — doned for calling Congressional journalism. The Record will, of course, be the organ of Congress, as it were, but it will be held in higher esteém, because Congress will do more writing for it instead of doingso much ina declamatory way. The Con an of the future will be more of a student, and will try harder to build up his popes than he has. Heretofore our American Congress has vir- tually said tothe Record, Lou go your way and 1 will go mine. You send a man to get my s h as I talk it off to the 1— bound, apple-eat in the Balle ot debate, or go wi he future the C will have the manu- script two days beforehand, with instructions to hold it for future additions, erasures or in- terlineations and thus, whether the speech be delivered or not, the public will not be de- prived of it. The Record will continue, however, in the future as it has been in the past, strictly inde- pendent in politics 8 that asuccessful paper cannot afford to pander to the coarse demands of either party, and so the will do no pandering whatever this year, but try to bulld up the paper, and let other indus- es look out for themselves. Ex-Congressmen who may bein town are cordially invited to visit the office I their stay, and sleep in the press - room when driven out by thankless hotels. No manuscript will be paid for by the Record unless an arrangement to that effect has been previonsly made. Births and deaths made in good faith will be ac- copted at 11 if set in nonpareil type. The Record will next yeas establish in Europe a branch to be called th Wi ter. Both papers will be furnished to one ad dress at the regular price to subscribers in good faith, who will also have a ohance to guess at the beans. To those who are contemplating a visit to Washington, let me say that the latch strin of the Record office is always hanging out, an friends from all over the land are cordially in- vited to drop in any day and bring their din- ners or feed their teams in front of the office.

Itis a common ambi- tion in men to make a good impression at the beginning of an ac- quaintance. St. Louls- ans have always been desirous of making good impressions on the stranger world, impressing it with the size, wealth and advantages of this city.

The spectacies have been more unique, more imposing, more costly and altogether ona grander scale than any dispiays of a similar intent originating in any other city in the country. And all these thousands, all these strangers, have bad their first experiences of the city in the Union Depot. In that collection of sheds and shiftieasness, dirt and disorder, noise and nauseating smells. From tunnel terrors the stranger emerges to Union Depot borrors, He is landed anywhere from Tentb to Thir- ‘* (MEAMAMAABIE Fida “ — ee of Vas Te 44 * / r 3 teenth street, within a few feet of the Daggage- yooms or near to Mill Creek sewer. He is expected to find his way out of the maze of tracks, out of the turmoil and trucks without assistance. He is expected to avoid destruction under the wheels of rapidly shifting locomotives, keep out of the way of express or mail teams, and baggage porters with belated loads, or ing on into anyone ot the depot tracks which happens to be vacant.

On the occasion of your next visit to the depot you may be expecting a friend from over the Vandalia line, and the policeman telle you to expect’ the train on track No. 10. If your previous experience bas taught you any- ung you will look on track No. 8. and itis bighly probaple that the train will arrive on track No. 1. There is no more regularity about the ar- rivals fromthe West, The Missouri Pacific, St. Louis & San Francisco, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Wabash Western and St. Louis, Oak Hill & Carondelet trains enter the switches when and where — can. If the switches are full or traing are going out of the de „ bound west, the incOming trains are heid anywhere from Summit avenue to Four- teenth street for any length of time from a minute to an hour. A ’Frisco train expected on track lmay be shifted to a track outside the sheds. A Wabash Western expected on track 10 is very liable to abow up at the bar- ber shop door. Not one suburban train in three of either the ‘Frisco, Wabash or Mis- souri Pacific gets as tar east as the Twelfth street bridge. There seems to be no system of signaling the approach of inbound trains from the West at the depot. No one seems to have any interest in bringing in these trains on con- venient tracks. No attempt is made to keep tracks cleared for incoming trains from either Kast or West, and passengers alighting from them are frequentiy oblige to stand in the sheds and wait until coaches which compose a train that, accord ing to the schedule, should not leave the de- pot for half an hour, are switched down into the sheds. The switching is done witb so little care or skill that the delay is apt to be a very serious one. These delays are particularly annoying to business men. The passenger has found his way, if he bea stranger, by following the crowd through the labyrinth of sheds.

The Union Depot is supposed popularly to be a great charge upon the railroads using it, and they do pay tothe parties in control very considerable sums indirec for the pvrivilége of landing their passengers there. But with- outany compensation from that source, the Union Depot Co. could ee the place on are, and would be, the rentof offices on the second floor of the building, the rent of the sheds occupied dy the Transfer Oo. and the Post-office, and the rent of the restaurant privilege, which includes the checx-rooms, the lunch counters, bar, barber shop and news stand. The expense and the maintainance of the depot is confined to absolutely necessary re- pairs, suchas the replacing of rotten wood- work, the pay ot an ornamental individual known as the Depot Master, and the e- room force. The persons having the restaurant privilege, in addition to the very iarge rental they pay, are supposed to keep the public rooms clean, and supply a porter and porteress for the pub- lic rooms. The wash-room is sub-let to boot-blacks, who make a pretense, or very little more, of keeping the place clean. There is some slight income from the stor- age of baggage, so that that item is not alto- gether an expense. The police supplied for the protection of the public by the city are forced by the lack of servants of the Co. to p shifted through h “ is no system or time for switehing the police are not always at the needed piace, and fre- quentiy the engines approach passengers witbout the latter being aware that danger is near them.

The present depot was built in 1875, with probably four-fifths of its present accommo- dations for its trains and passengers. It never was adequate, and now that the business to be transacted there has increased at least 50 per cent, it has become such an evil that the company should be compelled to abate it. There have been from time to time state- ments made by Mr. Gould's agents in 8. Louis to the effect that a new depot would be erected shortly.

Now, while the Expo- sition will be richly worth seeing, to say nothing of the innumerable perma- nent attractions of the Frenen Vanity Fair, yet it is safe to assume that nota few American visitors will be most interested In those relics of the stormy period between 1789 and 1795, which, though sot nearly so abundant as they were a few years ago, are yet suffiicientiy numerous to satisfy ordinary historical curiosity. For whether we appiaud or execrate the French Revolution, no thoughtful student of history will venture to deny that it is by far the most important event of modern times; the birth and begin- ning of mighty forces which are as yet not only unspent, but which have not as yet touched their climax. For the benefit of such readers of the PosT-DISPATCH as will be in Paris this summer, and desire to see the most interesting of still existing revolutionary relics, the following guide has been prepared. Firat, go to the PALAIS ROYAL, not only because it is the most convenient and accessible, but because there if in any one spot was the cradle of the revolution—where the terrible child was rocked into fierce and fiery manhood. Built by Cardinal Richelieu in 1620-36 it was presented by him to Louis XIII. In 1642, who made it his residence after the Cardinal’s death. Louis XIV. and his mother lived here during the troubles of the Fronde, and this King gave it, in 100, to his nephew, Philippe of Orleans, on the occasion of his marriage with Mile. de Blois. From him it passed to his son, Philippe, called ‘‘Egalite,’’ the father of King Louls Philippe, who, in or- der to increase his revenues, built up the larger portion of the garden with shops, which commanded a high rent. Other alterations had been made before, but the 3 and its accompaniments are prac- tically the same now as they were in 1786, when the shop additions were completed.

Here, under these arcades and in these gardens, crowds gathered day and night, to see and be seen, to discuss the news, to eat, drink, gambie and make and to criticise the latest fashions in garments and government, the latest craze in finance, iterature, hilosophy, morals and immorals. And it s here—on the evening of July 12, 1730—that Desmoulins, rushing out of Foy’s restaurant, mounted one of the chairs im the > den, flourishing a pistol,and made the - sionate speech which pared the way for the attack upon the Bastille two days after- ward.

The death of this man who, with a thorough College education anda life whose youth was pont in luxury, ta this pauper state has re- @alled the memory of the family, whose ec- @entricities and career will be remembered by many old citizens.

It ig claimed that as early as the beginning of the eighteenth century, Father Pinet established himself on the Mississippi, opposite what is now St. Louis, and called the place Notre Dame des Cahoguias, now Oahokta. Kaskaskia, Prairie du Pont, &t, Genevieve, Fort Chartres and Prairie du Rocher followed. In 1768 Pierre Lasieds Liguest, commonly known as Pierre Laciede, a fur trader, left Fort Chartres, stopped for a time at Cahokia, abd in 1764, crossing the river, established a trading post and together with August Ohouteaa laid out the town of - — St. Louis, at fret, howevér, called Laclede's Village. Two years later another Cahokian, Delor Detergette, noting Laciede’s success, and likewise attracted by the beauty of the opposite shore, braved the perils of an isolated abode and transferred bis family to the present site of Carondelet. The bouse was built, it is said, In a small natural clear- ing twenty feet above the ordinary level of the river, and surrounded, as it was by the forest, presenteda pleasing sight and sure hospitality to travelers from Ste.

The senor and the senora and my father and mother began atonce at their work. They unlock the door to the room where the bars of silver were kept as they were made inthe furnace-room, and such a sight as met my eyes I never can forget.

LAST YEAR’S TOMATO PACE, An Overproduction Which is of Benefit to Consumers. The American Grocer, in its issue of January 9, gives an interesting report in regard to the tomato pack of 1888. According to the com- pilation presented in the report, for the second time an overproduction has occurred. There were put up last year 3,319,437 cases of tomatoes of two dozen tins each, ora total of 70,666, 488 cans, costing at ints of production about $6,000,000 and reaching consumers at a total expense of $8,000,000. During ths year the acreage was largely increased in all di- ections, and, in spite of unfavorable weather, heavy rains in some States and long droughts in others, the increase in the pack over 1887 was 502, 889 cases. The canning industry grew in the Western and Southern States. Maryland and Virginia turned out 1,118,783 cases, the former being the banner State. Houses for canning vegetables are . ing faster than the demand warrants. e over-production, however, wasof benefit to the consumers, and asa resuit canned goods are at the command of the poorest. The diet of the masses, itis claimed, has been great! improved by the canned goods, which furnis at a reasonable cost a supply of anti-scorbutic food, and itis fairto assume that to this im- rovement in variety and quality of diet is ue in some degree the average longevity shown now to be greater by two years than a generation ago. It is considered probable that the trade will enter the packing season of 1889 under less favorable auspives than for any year since The Jumbo Paris Has Lost. From the London Daily Telegraph. The remains of the Paris Jumbo will not be lost to posterity. The aged elephant died the other day in the Jardin des Plantes of tubercu- losis, as has been proved by M. Pouchet, who made the post-mortem examination of the animal. The skeleton,the trunk,the beart and the liver of the colossal pachyderm will be laced, after due preparation in the Anatom- cai Museum, but the body has been igno- miniously cut up and divided among various neturalists for experimental purposes. The animal, which was a female, came to Paris from the Indies in 1862, and had survived the Franco-German war, the Commune, the various changes of Ministry that have taken since the foundation of the Third Re- ublic, and the recent ‘‘scandais’’ and ‘‘rev- elations.’’ Nevertheless, the late lamented pachyderm’s life was biighted by losses to which a thinner-skinned creature would have similar link between the Atlantic and the Pacific.

THE EADS SN CANAL. The route by the way of Tehuantepec; which is the northern, as Panama is the southern of the three points at ‘which the feasibility of connecting the three oceans has been sériowsly discussed, is 144 miles in length, and has at its high- est point an elevation of 700 feet above the level of the sea. These obsta- cles would have prevented any attempt at crossing the isthmus by ships at this point, had it not been for a very ingenious scheme suggested by the late Oapt. James B. Eads for constructing a ship railway, for which the Tehuantepec route presented many advan- tages not possessed by elther of the other routes. The general features of the proposed canal were a tem of dry doeks at which vessels could ross While the less than that of any canal, the effect which transporta- tion in this manner would have upon ships was generally considered to be so disastrous to their seaworthiness that no shipowners ressed any intention of trusting their vessels on such a road, jand no - * —— 1 i * N * — > n \ | wt 1 | 110 Ae * a ee enn SWAY 2 — — —— — A STREET IN RIVAS.

[Written for the SunpDay Post-Dispatcu.] INNER was over and } we were sitting in the little parlor—Mr. B. and I—enjoying our cigars. Our young friend Bonnefoy was busy at a water-color sketch ofthe Panteon, whieh we had visited that day, and the ree- ollection of the long 8 row of mummies, and one in particular in whose side I had imadver- tantly punched a hole with my finger was not the most pleasant. We were in the old city of Guanajuato, Mexico—the famous mining cen- ter of the Republic—where the mines were opened in the year 1558, and where they have takén out of old mother earth since then $1,500,000,000 in silver and gold. ) Though I had enjoyed my dinner, and was then enjoying my cigar, I could not dispel the unpleasant recollection of that particular old mummy with whom I had been too familiar in tickling it under the ribs. I was about to call out to Bonnefoy who was sitting in the court to come in and lay outa trip for the next day which would make me forget my post-mortem experience of to-day, when Miss Kitty came in to say there was another man at the door below who wanted to see Mr. B. about the hidden treasure. ‘*Tell him I won’t see him, confound these treasure hunters; they worry my life out; he is the twentieth man who has been here this month. No, I won't see bim; tell him I don’t want to part with my hidden treasure.’’ Miss Kitty went to deliver the message, though she said the man seemed to be some important personagé from his dress and man- ner, and she would like Mr. B. to see him. „What is allthis talk about?“ I asked, for- getting in an instant all about my dead triends at the Panteon. at a time, and they carried it down some stone steps and along a dark passageway under the senor’s bed-rooms, to a vauit or arch-shaped room which I had never noticed before, though I had deen down the steps. In this room they began pffing it up until every bar ot it was removed from above. I remember they were two nights at it. When it was all removed then the senor took his fine silver- ware and his boxes and bags of money and put them all in the same room with the bars and I remember he closed the door and locked it, and he and my father carried stones down there and mortar, and they buils a solid wall in front of the door and when they were through ey built auother wall where the door was that led down stairs. The Senor nepent two or three days vee = his ks and writing some letters which he gave the senora, and then tell! my father to defend the senora and take care of her and the rest of us, he bade us all good-bye and went back to the prison. In one week from that day they killed and a lot of sollers came to th broke in and killed my father and drove us all out. Not long after that tne senora died from the excitement and I never knew what became of the little girls, but I bh they went back to n. My mother never talked to me about what had happened till the war was nearly over and was a grown woman, forthe war lasted till 1821. When one day as she was ly- ing very sick and she told me never to — anything about the silver to any one as 2 as lived, for it would get me in trouble if I did. Not long after this she died.

I think Bhe is the senora, and she wants some of us to dig up the silver but [don’t want Juan to touch it.’ This is old Juanita’s story; now what do you think of it?’’ ‘*Well,’’ I replied, ‘‘I don’t take much stock in the ghost part of it, but Isuppose it would not be a lost treasure romance without the ghost.

[Written for the SUNDAY PosT-DisPaTcu. | HE enormous increase im men’s clubs is «4 siuguilar feature ot modern socie- ty. Their name is legion, thelr uses manifold and their in- fluences complicated. Their latest effect is Runen to be the most important of all; it is the creation, through imitation, of women’s clabs. It may cer- tainly be stated, with- out possibility of oon - tradiction, that had there been no men’s clubs there would ney- er have been any women’s clubs. The uneasiness of women to imitate men, politically, personally and so- clally, is a distressing note of modern civili- zation. It is artistipally a mistake, it is prob- ably also one morally. It is unlikeness which lends interest to intercourse quite as much as sympathy, and itis difference which consti- tutes charm in companionship, as well as comprebension. The landscape which is uni- form is tiresome, and so is uniformity of char- acter. The mere fact that women should wish for clubs indicates the immense change which has taken place in the habits and wishes of the sex. Clabs merely supply to men, in & con- densed shape, what they possessed before; but to women they offer wholly new and possibly questionable advantages. If a woman wants a club it is indicative that her home does not give her much that she wants; she may be a busy or an idle person, but she is at all events one who loves the streets, like Dr. Johnson, and finds pleasure in being associated with strangers. To those who are still of opinion that the finest flower of womanhood is a sensitive plant best cultured in shade and silence this indication will not be welcome. The kind of woman who will enjoy aclub will not be ot the highest order; she will be a chatty, grecarious, sociable, probda- bly fussy and gossiping woman, or she will belong to that eminentiy uniovely and unlovabie class of women who is, in sporting pbrase, ‘‘hard es nale,“ who wears giasses, dissects live kittens, and writes learned essays to prove the nothingness of everything; a truly borrible and appalling class which it is the especial destination of the ninteteenth century to have producec. CLUBS FOR BOTH SEXES. These two orders of women, with. those other women who are humdrum, burried and oceupied in gaining their own livelihood in the most meritorious but uncomfortable man- ner, Will furnish the ladies’ clubs with their members; at least those ladies’ clubs from which men are excluded. Those to which men are admitted will so exactly resemble Hurlingham, Sandringham, the New COlup and all other places where men and women already meet that they are not worth discussing. They will offer agreeabie facilities for revdezvoug and this will become their chief end and object very naturally; possibly when one or two tre- mendous scandals have had their headquar- - ters in them they will de shut up with a tre- mendous noise and uproar, and society will be neither the better nor t the worse for them. What are essentially women's clubs are those to which women only are admitted, as men’s clubs are essentially those to which men on! have aeccess; clubs to which both men an women go are mere pisces of promiscuous social resort, such as have existed from the days of Rawieigh and the Palais Royal. They do not affect nor alter the social relations of the sexes in any way whatsoever. * — to which men alone e have * on those relations; ough on tending liberties and es Polsios which’ men previously t dnding 7 have facilitated men’s ~ ons | = ers nee wien etre, both men- and cal, elsewhere than at their homes, in 17 8 y or with the bt as . they are attac They have ensed the already large 2 ties which en possess for enjoying themselves in the company of their oon se and h their greatest disad th make men before the ner — of — ciety. fthe these influences are on stone of those which ee all ade lite modern olub extend the oo — influences of fae 6 ame nature wh oh ub life for women wil ring inte women’s — 5 tions and habits isa very much wider and graver matter; the ange which female 2 alete, should they ob- reat doveicpment Ban occasion in © sex will be Very extended, an a ty is ult to predict of what kind i¢ wi ATTRA OL not d as men make men absor ore in a day of man 1 women more and affections which demanc of both time and —— loungins- chair, the well- cook dishes * Miss ax }ing with her father : OUIDAON WOMEN'S OLUBS| 2 wn Camilla Thompson is home from Louis- Mrs. 8.

Next to a beautiful complexion, a beautiful form according to the taste of the present day—is at once the idol of women and the admiration of men, and realizing this fact, the fairer sex are willing to endure any degree of discomfort so long as it will admit of the con- finement of the bust witnia the outlines of the modern corset. On the coptrary, most men are rather desirous of attaining that degree of size which, with the assistance of a fash'on- able tailor, is supposed to typify solidity and prosperity, and as they have not constantly before themjthe necessity of conformation to a fashionable standard, it is not until they begin to experience a certain sense of un- wieldiness and discomfort—especially during the heated term—that they are disposed to envy their less corpulent brothers. Up to the period of middie life a moderate deposition of FATTY OR ADIPOSE TISSUE in either sex is a perfectiy physiological and conservative process, and under the influence ofa mixed dietary and ot a regular mode of life is a result to be anticipated by any per- son who is not the subject of one of the hereditary or acquired cachexia, I. e., cer- tain morbia@ systemic conditions, such as rheumatism, scrofulosis (tuberculosis) and certain affections of the pulmonary or urinary organs. But there are circumstances in the life of many persons which decidedly modify the fat-forming process, either tending to that unfortunate condition known as obesity or to a deficiency not only of adipose, dut of mus- cular and osseous tissues as well. With the exception of the normal subcutaneous cushion of tat, especially around bony prominences, and which is useful not only in the preserve- tfon of the rotundity of the form, but also as a protection to certain portions of the body from injury, the adipose tiseue is utilized in the maintenance of bodily heat. Inasmuch as relates to the prevention of the febrile state, the temperature of the animal body is zegu lated by an extremely delicate ‘‘safety valve“ in what is known as the heat center“ in the medulla oblongate—that portion of the brain which presides over those organic fune- tons wuilen are not within the scope of our will power, as the respiration, circulation of the blood (or reg- ulation of the neart’s action) and the t perature.

The order of the Sons of Veterans was founded at Pittsburg, Pa., in November, 1881, by A. PF. Davis, a prominent member ot the G. A. KR. This was the first camp organized, and was named the Davis Camp, in honor of the founder. The lineal descendents of the soldiers, sailors bs and marines who served in the Union 2 army or navy during the civil struggle of 1861-1865, have joined together for the pur- pose of keeping een the memories of their fathers, and Capt. W. L. Bowers. their sacrifices for the maintenance of the Union. To aid and assist worthy and needy members of the d members of the G. A. R. in caring for their helpless and disabled veterans; to extend aid and protection to the widows and orphans; the proper observance of Memorial Day; to inculcate triotism and love of country; to bear true allegiance to the Government of the United States of America, and the discountenancing of anything that may tend to weaken loyalty, incite to insur- rection or treason, or in any manner impair the efficiency of our National Union. The following is taken from Artiéle 5,Section I., Constitution, Rules, and Regulations, re- garding the eligibility of membership: The sons, not less than 18 years of age. of deceased or honorably discharged soldiers, sallors or marines, who served in the Union army or navy during the Civil War of 1861- 1665, shall be eligible to membership; also, upon attaining the age of 21 years, all sons of members of the order in succeeding genera- tions, providing that o person shall el- le who has ever been convicted of any | 5 ru ment.

The officers for 1889 of Excelsior Council were installed last Tuesday evening. The beautiful and impressive cere- mony of installation was given * an additional grandeur by the iy graceful dignity and earnest- , ness of Past Supreme Chance!- lor Frank Gaiennie, who was accompanied by Assistant Su- preme Guide J. P. Burdeau. The following is the roster: Chancellor, L. E. Anderson; Vice Chancellor, Joe A. Deffry; Recorder, O. F. A. Mueller; Treasurer, August Gerdeman; Guide, L. J. Kiser; Chaplain, E. C. Schuster; Over- seer, A. H. Rawlings; Sentinel, W. W. Graves; Medical Examiner, Dr. F. P. Johnson; Trus - tees, Thos. Knox, T. P. McKelleget and Bryan Brady. Past Supreme Chancellor 0 Graves was presented with a very fine coun- ry of himself in the shape of a crayon por- trait. It was a genuine surprise to him. The pre- sentation was made by Past Supreme Chan- cellor Gaiennie. Brother Graves tried to re- spond, but was so overcome as to be unable to Say more than Boys, I thank you.“ After the regular routine business had been dis- osed of and the pariiamentarian had indulged n his usual stroke of genius, the followin 5 was given: ano solo, by Prof. ilsinn; vocal duet, by J. — te | oa ili and Lewis Cassabaut. This was followed by a very interesting exhibition of scientific box- ing by Messrs. Wickham and Joel of the Pas- time Athietic Club and Messrs Parsons and Newton of the Crib Olub. Brother Mullally contributed a vocal solo, which elicited considerable applause. The Silver Weve Comet Band was in attend- ance and during tbe intermissions popular airs were distributed ad libitum. An elegant lunch was served in the ante-rooms and every- body looked happy: Under the clear-headed guidance of Chancellor Anderson Exceisior promises to make a long stride towards the top during 1889. Excelsior Council preposes to initiate Gil- eed g Band two or three meeting nights ence. M. E. Mullally of Excelsior possesses a soft, sweet voice. He is the Troubadour of Excel- sior Council, Brother T. J. Dooley of Excelsior declares that there is no tonic as good and as stimulat- ing as ginger ale. n the entertainment provided for the mem- bers and visitors of Exceisior present on last Tuesday, Chancellor Anderson was ably as- sisted by Brother Boles and the Cribb Olub. It is a pleasure to know that B. W. Dreiling has fully recovered from an ailment of many years’ standing. The chair of Vice-Chancellor at Excelsior is well filled with the 200 pounds of flesh and dignity of Joe A. Deffry. A feature of Excelsior’s entertainment not sufficiently appreciated was the tableaux, »The Three Graces.’’ Excelsior initiated Jos. McLain and Jas. A. Carroll at their meeting, on last Tuesday. Delmar’s installation took place on last Tuesday night, Past Supreme Chancellor Gaiennie and Deputy Supreme Guide Burdeau being the installing officers. Owing to the weather there was not as large an attendance of the members as there usuallyis in this wide-awake council. Delmar has reason to be proud of her growth the past year, as the report of Supreme Re- corder Hofmeister shows that the percentage of increase was greater than any ot ber sister councils, andfrom the enthusiasm shown at the last meeting it is predicted that her growth will be even greater this year. „Where are Brothers Becker and Free- man?’’ was the question asked quite often in Del mar on last Tuesday. Delmar Council has C. H. Anderson and Wentworth Terry, two of the finest amateur French horn players in the city. Brother An- derson favored the counoll with a solo at the Jast meeting, and his performance was en- cored to the echo, it even brought tears to the eyes of some of the members, but he could not be prevailed upon to repeat. F. R. Peters and Chas. H. Wengler having been successful in securing six new members within the year, were decorated with the Guard of Honor badges, by L. A. wn. Delmar Council has reduced her annual dues from $6 to N per annum, and effects this action to help in inducing new members to join her ranks. ‘ L. A. Brown, the founder of Delmar,’’ was happy at the last meeting, having successfully passed his motion to reduce the dues. Hyde Park, No, 4, held an open meeting at its installation of officers on Wednesday night which was largely attended bythe council members, their ladies and friends. The in- stallation ceremonies were very impressive. After the ceremonies Past Supreme Chancel- lor Barry delivered an address, which was en- thusiastically received. This was followed b aneat speech from Supreme Recorder Hotf- meister, which was very eulogistic of Hyde Parks old ‘‘stand-bys.’’ The remarks of the * officers were responded to by How- ard Stanton, Chancellor Carroll being nervous and indisposed, in a very able manner. His remarks elicitea considerable applause from the members who were awake at the close of them. After the brothers had all had their say Chancellor Carroll announced,in as steady a voice as possible under the circumstances, that Brother Palmer had prepared a pro- amme for the evening’s entertainment. rother Carroll openedthe affair 2 an im- personation of the ‘‘Elephantic Kid.“ His make-up was very unique, green pants, yel- low hosiery, a red scarf around his ample waist, blue jacket, gray necktie and plug hat. His rendition of the number wag very well re Brother Sullivan character lone, the Colored Belle, was very well rendered. Hise make- up was as grotesque as Brother Carroll's. Brother Balmer rendered a fine aria on the flute assisted by his two daughters who ac- companied him with the piano and guitar. Mrs. Goggin sang several wey sweet baliads, and the Temple Quartette, led by Prof. Darby, rendered a numder of plantation and other melodies in a fine manner and were A encored. Brother Noble’s rendition of Tim Flanerty, a French character sketch, was the hit of the evening and caused great amuse- ment; Brother O’Fallon surprised his many friends by the manner in which he rendered the well-worn chestnut, Spartacus to the Gladiators; heretofore Brot ers Cooper and Keane have carried off the honors as heavy- weight deciaimers, but they will have to brush u f they wish to retain their grip. The „Pollen Boy, by Brother Little, was also well rendered and received. Brother Bob isa little bashful, but he is gradually outgrowing it. Brothers Caner and Irwin, as tumblers and clog dance artists, created a good deal of amusement; their clog-dancing is really good. Brother Stanton was callea on for a song and sang that new and catchy ballad, Three Black Orows.’’ One of the crows seemed to be stuck in his throat and he did not make much — . with his song, and, acting on sug- geetion of Mr. Carroll he repaired to the ante- room and had a drink of water. The even- ing’s entertainment closed with a ballad by Past Chancellor Johnson entitled“ Tou Never Miss the Lager Till the Keg Runs Dry.“ The sentiment was a very feeliug one to some of his listeners. spread was laid, of which all present k heartily except Brothers Oarcoll and — who were not feeling well. ill Council, No. 9. year After the musicale au elegant of t F Z. , Th Hulbert. regitations by and others. 1 eodore H.

Commercial Council's meeting on last Tues- day evening was an especially interesting one tothe members, the occasion being the in- stallation of officers by Past Supreme Chan- cellor A. Moore Berry and Deputy Supreme Guide W. H. Hofmeister. The ceremonies were impressive and beautiful. After the in- stallation, the supreme officers conducted the initiation of two candidates. Speeches were made by the supreme officers and several members of Commercial Council. A boom has set in in No. 13, and she will be beard from during the present year. Obancellor Wadsworth of No. 18 is an ex- ceedingly modest man, but he will show them how to ‘‘get there.’’ Ivanhoe Council’s installation and enter- tainment on last Tuesday evening was a grand success. The installation ceremonies were conducted by Past Supreme Chancellor Butler and Past Supreme Guide Scott. Genial Billy Hobbs spent the evening introducing Supreme Gnide Walden as the man what beat him“ for Supreme Guide. .‘‘Billy’’ is not a bit sorry, however. He says there is too much hard work about it for his delicate con- stitution. All the Supreme officers on duty last Tuesday night ‘‘rounded up’’ ativanhoe. Those pres- ent were: Supreme Chancellor F. M. Estes, Supreme Guide G. M. Walden, Past Supreme Chancellor Gaiennie, Butler, Thomas and — * J. P. Burdeau ofthe Executive Board and Supreme Recorder Hofmeister. Supreme Chancelior F. M. Estes and Su- rome Guide, G. M. Walden have installed the oliowing councils during the week: Stella, Grove, Victoria and Carondelet. They were very enthusiastically received on each occa- sion and generously entertained. Numerous es were made and hearty support prom- sed, which, if fulfilled, will make a great reo- ord for 80.
