ONDON, Nov. 30.—The preparations for the coming Liberal de- mmonstration at Man- ichester, where Mr. Gladstone will deliver apeeches, are delng conducted on an Yin immense scale. Great Wipes fit esuite from the meet- N ings are hoped for by the Liberals and obvi- Sously feared by the Tories, who are watching Mr. Gladstone closely with a view of taking advantage of any madvertant expression which may be used against him, and thus weaken the ex- Premier’s speech. Mr. Gladstone is, however, not likely to be caught napping, In a letter published to-day, Mr. Gladstone, referring to the programme of the Liberals, says: ‘‘It will be a part of my duty to explain clearly my attitude, and to do my utmost to further reforms. DIVERSE VIEWS. A protracted meeting of the Cabinet was held to-day, at which was considered a pro- posal for a ten million land purchase scheme to apply to the disaffected portions of Ireland. It is understood that a there was not the degree of unanimity with regard to the measure that should characterize the consideration of so vital an issue, and:it 7 is not unlikely that if the scheme is launched upon the dea of legislation it will be open to the \ game objection to William E. Gladstone. many Tories that will be raised against it by the Liberals and Nationalists; that it dis- criminates against a very considerable part of the people of Ireland, who are entitled to all the benefits that the measure may bestow. Indeed, it is now quite plain that the question of land purchase is not the only one upon which there is a diversity of views in the Con- servatives ranks, and the Government will have no easy task tosteer clear of breakers next session. THE BRISTOL STRIKE. There is now hope that the strike of the dock laborers at Bristol may be speedily set- tiled, the men having offered to submit their grievances to the arbitration of the Mayor of Bristol. As yet it cannot be definitely ascer- tained that Bristol has sustained any loss of commerce by reason of the strike, but it is certain that the prolongation of the troubl4 @ few days longer will not only drive away the business which fell to Bristol from the great strike in London, but send many of the old shippers to other ports. With thie result confronting them, it is unlikely that the Masters will be so unwise as to meet their , men in the compromise. PARLIAMENTARY PROGRAMME. The programme of the next session of Parlia- ment was practically settled in the Cabinet council yesterday. Such arrangements are always subject to exigencies arising from movements in public opinion. But as it stands, and with Lord Hartington’ complete assent, there is to be no effective dealing with Irish local Government, and the land pur- chase bill will be no very. ambitious measure. The views of Mr. Smith, the Tory leader in the Hause, end of r. Goschen against compulsion have been adopted by the Cabinet, and the plea that it ie desirable toretain a landed gentry is ac- cepted as a barto the high prices and the “8 enormous drafts on British credit which com - pulsory sule and purchase must involve. THE LAND PURCHASE BILL. The bill will apply the latest principles of ‘Scottish crofter legislation to the congested districts; all propose to improve the pro- cedure under Lord Ashbourne’s acts and devote further grants of money for the pürposes of these acts, and will de closely attended by the Irish Solicitor General’s bill setting up local registries of title. The idea of the Minister’s is that the next shall be an Irish and English session. The tithes bill is to be followed by the land tranefer bill and the dis- trict councils bill. But this last is very likely to be pressed out, partly because the Govern- ment is a little afraid of the matter, and also because there were several necessary bills, such as the census bill and one dealing with the new schedules of railway rates, to which early attention must be devoted. A PROSPEROUS PROVINCE. British North Borneo is clearly onthe high ito prosperity. About twelve months ago price of land for plantations was increased $1 to $2 an gore, and now. in consequence success of the tobgecco crop, the price of ed to $6 dh acre, ile the au omieal prosperit t rest solely on tobacco, and the aie ual — 4 14 other prospect of gold . proving a — | industry, the main difficulty at present ms the distance of the deposits from the coasts. Regular steam communication has been opened with Hong Kong and cheap labor from Ohina is flocking in. TROUBLE FEARED AT LIMERICK. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that there will de trombie at Limerick to-morrow. The Nationalists are determined to hold a demonstration in honor of the Manchester Martyrs, while the authorities, deter- mined that they shall not, have sef a force of police and military some hun- dreds strong to guarding the monument with orders “to ‘prevent anybody from ap- proaching it. If the excitement is as big to- morrow as itis represented to be to-night, it does not seem possible that a collision be - tween the people and the authorities, with fatal results, oan be averted. A OLERGYMAN’ DISGRACED. A sad story is related of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, who until quite recently held the office of Vicar In one of the most important churches in the diocese of Peterbury. His tastes hav- ing become exalted far above the power of his legitimate income, to gratify them he sought to improve his pecu- miary condition by betting on the races, cautiously at tirst, but ultimately with all the recklessness ofa hardened plunger. His ex- perience was that ofthe great majority who indulge in the alluring practice of gambling, and utter ruin overtook him. Unableto face bis creditors he resigned his position and dis- appeared, going, no one knows where. A new syndicate opened the Princess Theater to-night with Brandon Thomas’ melo- drama, The Gold Craze, which was badly received. The Queen has wired her sympathy to the family of the late Martin Farquhar Tupper, whose obsequies will take place at Albury on Tuesday next. LONDON GOSSIP. Young Abraham Lincoln submitted to a surgical operation at Paris this week which will probably save his life, but he is still too ill for his parents to remove him to London. Mary Anderson and Amelie Rives left Paris this week, the former going to Nice and the latter to Algiers. The Paris papers are full of flattering notices of Mrs. John Sherwood’s readings. French charities are profiting much thereby. She is g@ing to read next week for the Anglio-Amer- ican Hospital. Teddy Solomon sat bis old tricks again in court, now defending a charge that the music of the new opera, Red Hussar, is simply „The White Sergeant,’’ which was written years ago and re-d~essed. Pienty of notable people are bound for America. The Teutonia has Patti, Nordica, Poultney Bigelow, Ogden Mills and J. R. Roosevelt and wife. The Alaska has Gen. Rush Hawkins, Signor Arditti and Lionel Mapie- son. The Etruria has Senator Chandler, Charley Delmonico, Richard K. Fox, Mme.

Epecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, Nov. 80.—Ex- cept in Tory dewspa- pers there is no longer any attempt to sap- press the West End scandals or hesitancy to denounce the Gor- erment for preventing the police bringing the aristocratic criminals to justice. A pubiic subscription has been started to assist editor Parke in his suit. Most astounding revelations will be made when this case fairly comes to trial, if it ever does. Itisas certain as anything well can be that several members of Parliament are on the war path and taking active measures to call the Government to account. No mercy will be shown. LABOUCHERE’S LANCES. Labouchere talked about the scandals at a crowded mass meeting at Lincoln last night, justifying himself by remarking that the hid- sous subject was so much a subject of general comment and discussion in clubs and public places that London conversation was becom- ing almost as horrible as London vice. TVO impecunious wretches have been sent to prison,’’ said Labby, ‘‘but a person highly placed and concerned in these crimes has been allowed to escape from the country, simply because he belonged to the upper classes. I warn the Government that when Parliament meets they will have to explain their conduct. We shall insist on an investi- gation. This will probably be refused at first, but we shall surely get it.’’ THE PUBLIC AROUSED. The cordial cheere with which these re- marks were received showed how deep the action cuts into ee age popular indigna- ff * tion. It is not as fair to blame the 2 Police Depart- SOIT ment for what occurred. From the outset Chief Munro wanted to prosecute, but his hands were firmly tiedby Matthews and the Treasury Depart- ment. Atthe Cabinet Council ealled this week to discuss the situation, Chief Munro was summoned, with the result that the affair was taken away from Scotland Yard entirely and left wholly at the disposition of the Treasury. GOVERNMENT ANXIETY. At the conclusion of this council Lord Salis- bury is reported to have said that since he has been in office no foreign complication or disputes about home rule caused him so much anxiety of mind or annoyance as these scandals. So important was this Cabinet Council considered that ministers in foreign ports had come bome to attend it. Lord Ash- bourne had to leave Ireland at great personal inconvenience. The Prince of Wales is as much concerned about the matter as anybody vlee,for he went personally to the Home Office this week, said Mr. Matthews. WALES’ PREDICAMENT. The Prince is reported to see very clearly the folly of the course of the Government in letting the gullty escape and then trying to suppress the fact. But what can he do when the police show him the name of Albert Victor among those mentioned having visited the house. Through special sources of information the SUNDAY Posr- DISPATCH ovrrespondent is fully informed of facts which the Scotiand Yard au- thorities believe to be their own secrets, and pow that the case has been taten out of the hands of Chief Munro he can mention an in- cident whieh occured last Tuesday whiok will 16 1 free : 1 4 1 tts 4 e 2 : : 2 L. 3 11 N at 2 _ ’ 0 yee a . oe .. . yee 8 = Px! 8 K Fix + te : > > 8 1 Re = re 8 2 +, i Pe ee 8 3 8 “tf . * a 4 * ee Fe 2 > .

Abperiine wished to take them tothe Bew Street Court for the purpose ol identifying Lord Euston as one of the men they had seen at the House. Munro indorsed the application as fals@ „Let Inspector Abberline see the public prosecutor at the Treasury and get his direc- tions.’’ The Public Prosecutor, who is purely a factotum of Matthews, indorsed the doou- ment in red ink as follows: I decliné to give Inspector Abberline any instructions in this matter. Munro then added the follow- ing indorsement below the Public Prosecu- tor’s: I hold the Public Prosecutor respon- sible.’’ This incident clearly shows that Munro knows which which way the wind is blowing. Your correspondent has also seen depos!- > tions made by persons who frequented the house for the purpose of crime, and whogive names of the aristocratic clientele from whom they regularly received money. These persons promptly selected the photos of Somerset and Euston from several others sub- mitted and made most fearful revelations con- cerning them. A memorandum book was taken from one of them. This book is now in the possession of Scotland Yard. Extracts have been made from it by parties interested showing what the government has been up to. Eustonina preliminary trial this week. admitted he had been to the house, but said he was lured there by a card thrust into his hand on the street, and left the moment he discovered what kind of a place ſt was. A LAME ANSWER. Somerset has not put himself in a position yet where he is forced to make any public ex- planation, but one he allows his friends to make for him is that he also went to the house, but went there with a woman of high social position. When matters became com- plicated he left the country rather than stop and riskan exposure which might compro- mise this woman. Somerset has taken refuge in Wimele, a dismal littie seaside hotel near Boulogne, where he goes under an assumed name. Your correspondent went there yes- terday to try and see him, but the servants of the house he has hired deny all knowledge of him, and would not allow anybody to pass the threshold. Somerset has been seen out of the house only once, when he went to the lit- tie theater of Boulogne, patronized by fish- women. A SLY SCHEME. Though he has not been in England for weeks, Somerset still writes letters to his friends dated London and manages it this way: Acoachman named Michel lives in Boulogne, who formerly lived in London. He gets well paid for crossing the channel once a week and malling the letters at Charing Cross, buying some tobacco near by to take back and show that heactually made the journey. I saw Michel, who declared the letters were handed him at a small hotel by a woman; that he never saw Somerset. AN ACCOMPLICE BOUGHT OFF. But the man these licentious aristocrats are most terrified about is Hammond, who kept the house, and who is now in New York. If Hammond conid be collared and made to tell all he knows the prison walls would shield many titled names before the year is ont. Letters received from Hammond by his wife and others in London since his flight show that Government agents were shadowing him, so he did not return to this country so long as he was liberally supplied with money. There was little danger of his doing 30, though in a recent letter he complains to his wife that he does not hear from his friends so frequently as he desires, and asks her to call on one Newton, who was a sort of solicitor and pri- vate secretary to Somerset, and remind him that certain promises must becarried out. At least a dozen of these letters clearly show who it is keeps Hammond out of the country. A HUNTED ORIMINAL. He will almost surely reveal, when intesti- gated, where he got the private tip to run away and avoid arrest. Itis definitely known that Hammond was escorted out of the coun- try by a Scotland Yard officer named Low. While in Paris, under the guardianship of Low, he was, at the instance of the British Foreign Office, ordered by the French police to quit French territory, and was conducted over the frontier into Belgium, accompanied by Low. Whilein Belgium Low ived in- structions to hand Hammond over fo the Bel- gium police, but there were no police officers in the village where they were staying, and Hammond was allowed to get away to Antwerp. Here he was allowed to take a boat to New York without interfer- ence. One of his letters shows he came near taking passage on a vessel which touched ata British port before going across, but received a timely suggestion from a friend not to do it. When Hammond sailedInspector Byrnes was promptly notified what steamer he was on, and he was shadowed by a detective. On his arrival in New York he was found under the name of Bowman, and a report was sent to Scotland Yard. Everything depended on the evidence of this man.Considering his previous record in the Dublin scandals, the wonder is thet his patrons trusted him as much as they did. Itis no wonder at all they want to keep him out of the way. NOW IN AMERICA. One letter received here from Hammond, dated Antwerp, shows he proposed to take his family tq America, and explains to his wife that he wentto Brussels to meet a certain solicitor, who instructed him to sail for America on a ship sailing under the American flag, and offered him £300. I told him,’’ says Hammond, ‘‘that he must pay all ex- penses ef my family first-class to America, and give me £800 more to start in business on. This he agreed to. In another letter Ham mond complains he was watched for fear he would return to England. It I only go across the road,’’ he says, ‘‘they follow me. It Lask any questions they go ask the people what Isaid to them.’’ He speaks, also, of longing to come back. It he does there will be music. Could any- thing be more suggestive than the following extract from areport made to Matthews by one of the Scotland Yard men engaged in the case? A BOBBY’S REPORT. „When I arrived at Newlore,’’ says the officer, ‘‘he said to me: ‘I do not see why I should be punished when persons of high position are allowed to walk about scott free.’ Iasked him, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘Why,’ he said, ‘Lord Arthur Somerset and Earl Euston used to meet me at the house. Why not punish them?’’’ _ — nm BELGIUM, The Anti-Slavery Congress Declared a Fail- ure—Jeailous of Stanley. &pectal Cablecram te the Post-Dispatch.

ERLIN, Nov. %80.—A Reyal scandal of vast proportions, if stories which have been re- throughout peated Europe for years are true, is about to be : jbrought to light. When the famous Duke of Brunswick, known familiarly as Gold Uncle of Geneva, died he left a will be- queathing to the city of Geneva his immense fortune for building monuments in his honor and for other uses. The King of Saxony and Duke of Cumberland, heirs of the late Duke, have inetracted M. Waldeck-Rousseau, a distinguished advocate, to bring action in the Paris courts to INVALIDATE THE WILL. The plaintiffs allege the insanity of the testator as a ground of sult, and ask that the property left by him be divided among the rightful heirs. The prosecution of this case will require a minute Investigation into a life of most extraordinary intrigue on the Continent, and will lead to a series of reveia- tions which will startle the world. This will become more apparent when a certain so- called Countess Civry puts in her claim, as she is sure to do, as she has long been aggrieved by the failure of the late Duke to do her justice before or after death. SPICY POINTS PROMISED. Should the royal and ducal heirs succeed in their efforts to break the will the Countess will bring suit against them, and if resisted will, according to all accounts, have a pretty tale totell. The scandals to be revealed are likely to effect some of the highest heads in Europe. Preliminary proceedings on her part begin at Brunswick, where it is possible pre- mature disclosures will be made. The case arouses special attention throughout Ger- many. _ n. STANLEY’S LETTERS. Their Contents Crystallized by Sir William MeKinnon. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, Nov. %.— Sir William McKin- nou, Uhairman of the Emin Relief Com- mittee, in an inter- view regarding the latest letters from Henry M. Stanley, says: Mr. Stanley’s ob- ject was to relieve Emin Pasha, who had for several years kent the Mahdi south of his prov. ince, in which, for the interest of civilization he labored so faithfully and so long. It was well known in England that Emin had no intention of quitting his host. What Emin asked for was that he should be supplied with ammunition, with articles of European manufacture and with a road to the east coast so that he might send home the ivory he had collected. With this object in view Mr. Stanley left this coun- try nearly three years ago, hoping to reach Emin in a few months. Indeed, in the fare- well speech he delivered in London he re- duced the time to days. His belief was that in 121 days from leaving Zanzibar he could shake hands with Emin. Even on his third journey he found that the distance from Banalava to the Albert Nyanza could be covered in less than 140 days. The fact is Stanley found the natives more bitterly opposed to any expedi- tion penetrating their country than he had an- ticipated. Besides, they were better armed and more disciplined than was generally be- lieved, For instance, take a single sentence from one of Stanley’s recent letters, viz: ‘Found out that Emin and Jephson were both prisoners since the 18th of August, last year, being the day after I made the discovery that Maj. Bartellot's caravan was wrecked.’ TIPPOO TIB’S TREACHERY. The colncidence is, indeed, uns. and he might well leave the simple mention of it to suggest the disheartening story of organized treach- ery, extending over a wider area than was hitherto known, which We expect to y have in detail in 4 few days. There isa Ss total and very sig- nificant silence re- garding Tippoo Tib, ; whom he leftasGov- Henry M. Stanley. ernor of Stanley Falls; but it has been known im” England since the publication of Mr. Werner’s book that the wrecking of Bartellot’s caravan was the work of Tippoo Tib, and now it appears that just one month afterward the Governor of the equatorial province whom Stantley was bast- ening to relieve was made a prisoner. Bar- tellot was murdered on the 17th of July, 1888, and Emin was imprisoned on the 18th of Au- gust. Stantley bad been with him in May, and found him in possession of abundant food and a wealth of ivory; had gone back to bring up Bartellot’s columns, and then, on returning to the Albert Lake for the third time in four and «4 half months, Was met with tidings of the revolt of the troops of the equatorial province, and that Emin was a prisoner, It h not possible to regard the two onlamttiee—Bartellot's mur · der and the revolt of Emin’s troops—although occurring at points so far apart, as chance co- incidences. The intrigue of Tippoo Tib, the force which withstands the,totroduction of liberty and civilization into the center of Africa, had clearty produced both, and ar- n com so close in point me. STANLEY'S c : to refer to 2 — that his whole heart and soul were centered im the civilization of Central Afriea. On that occasion Emin wrote: ‘The work that Gordon on, if not with his energy and genius, Still ac- cording to his intention and in his spirit. When my lamented chief placed the govern- ment ot this country in my bande he wrote me: 1 appoint you for civilization ress’ sake.“ Ihavedone my best to justify the trust de had in me, and that I have to some tent been successful, and have won the confidence of the natives is proven by the fact that 1 and my handful of people have held our own up to the presentin the midst of hundreds of thousands of natives. I re- main here the last and only rep e of Gordon’s staff. It therefore falls to mo, and is my bounden duty, to follow up the road he showed. HOPEFUL GF THE FUTURE. ‘*Sooner or later a bright future must dawn for these countries. Sooner or later these people will be drawn into the circle of the ever-advanoing civilized world. For twelve long years have I striven and toiled and sown the seeds for future harvest—laid the founda- tion stones for future buildings. Shall I now give up the work because a way may soon open to the coast? Never! The seed has been rooted up and the foundation stones scat- tered and Emin is an involuntary fugitive from the land in which he labored se devoted- ly and so unselfishly for the cause of civiliza- tion. However, it is heped that a much stronger and better-equippod expedition will reinstate Emin at Wadelal. The commerce of the equatorial! province would soon become a source of valuable revenue to the Imperial British East African Co., repaying them for the expense incurred in such an expedition. In addition to this, a great work would be done in the direction of stopping slave raids in Oentral Africa.’’ THE DETHRONED MONARCH. Dom Pedro to Be Greeted by Diplomat Republicanism Growing. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch ISBON, Nov. 30.—It is stated that the English, German, Spanish and Russian Minis- ters to Portugal will greet Dom Pedro on his arrival in the Tagus. This attention has, of course,no politica) significance, being merely a matter off courtesy to a for- mer ruler who enjoys the highest respect of all countries, includ- ing his own. The Duc de Mour has started from Paris to meet Dom Pedro here. He will discuss the prospects of restoration of the Orleans dy- nasty in Brazil, and will advise Dom Pedro to abdicate as Emperor in favor of his daughter, the Princess Isabell, Countess D’ Eu. REPUBLICANISM GROWING. A less pleasing occurrence, from the Gov- ernment’s point of view, will be the Repub- lican demonstration which is shortly to be made under the management of Latino Guelh, the Republican leader in the Deputies. An address is being prepared, which will be signed by all the prominent citizens of Portugal who favor Republican ideas, and will be sent to Rio de Janeiro by a special delegation. The departure of the dele- gation will be made as demonstrative as pos- sible, and it is not believed that the Govern- ment will care to interfere. At a large meeting of Republicans in Madrid last night Senor Pi Margall presided and made a fiery Republican speech, predicting the speedy Americanization of ali the European monarchies. An address embodying the sentiments of the meeting was forwarded to Brazil. KINGLY COURTESIES. The arrival of Dom Pedro at St. Vincent has revived the sensation caused by his over- throw. Communications have passed between the ex-Emperor and the royal family at Lis ben. Dom Pedro announces his deposition. He makes no complaint, and heeven has a Dom Pedro Il. | good word for the authors of his fall. King Oarlos heartily welcomes him to Portugal and invites bim to come to Lisbon direct, tender- ing the Palace for the residence of himseit and Empress. The ex-Emperor wires a reply, thanking the King for his warm-hearted invi- tation, but declining the offer of the Palace, saying he will avail himself of the King’s hospitality, and after resting a few days in the capital, will proceed to Cannes. UNEASINESS IN SPAIN continues and increases. There no feeling of sympathy for the man prevails among the fierce Republicans, who are pro- foundjy stirred by the example of Brazil. Meetings are being openly held at which a Republic ls openly advocated. Castellar has returned, and although he takes no public part in the proceedings, his spirit animates the party. The situation is 4 dim - cultone. Already all members of the Span- ish Cabinet except the Prime Minister threat- en to resign. The army and navy are stil} un- der contro! but are closely watohed, for from them, especially from the navy, recent revol- utionary movements have sprung. In the weakness of the Government lies the oppor- tuhity for a revolution, and Republicans, who feel that they have been cheated out of the power they once enjoyed, may take advan- tage of it at any moment.

The number of Germans there is reckoned by these papers at 200,000, but it is in reality mush less, and some ofthem have thrown in their lot with the country of their adoption. Not a small portion of these latter are intense- ly anti-German. Those not openly so fully appreciate the advantages of their position, are gratified at the security of their sons from conscription and are at heart fully alienated from their native land. The clerical Vossisehe Zeitung exhibits as freely as it dares to do its pleasure at the downfall of monarchy in the Southern Hemis- phere and points out that the other European powers, especially those whose naval strength is formidable, would certainly not view with indifference any attempt of Germany to exer- cise a protectorate over almost the only por- tion of the vast country accessible to foreign commerce. Inthe jealousy of the European powers, itadds, isthe strongest guaranty of the Brazilian Republic’s safety and in its in- ternal dissensions its only danger. THE SUICIDE MANIA. The committee appoluted to inquire into the alarming and constantly increasing number of suicides among German officers has com- pleted its labors, but its report has not been made public, and probably never will de. It is understood that the principal reason as- signed for the greater number of suicides is. the inability of many of the poor but proud junior officers to keep up appearances with those of their more fortanately situated comrades who have private means. Attempts to inorease their income dy gambling or speculation leads of course to debts. in most cases, which by the code can only be acquitted by prompt payment or the death of the person incurring such obliga- tion. Another reason, the report might have stated, is the Virtual impossibility which talented young officers experience of securing Geserved promotion, unless they de of noble family. Sensitive men, seeing all positions to which a proper emolumeut is attached in she hands of a proscriptive aristocracy, lose all hope of the future, and naturally, for men with their 3 seek the last refuge of despair. ADOPTING TURKISH LUXURY. AY AND made upon the mind of Emperor William of Germany by the exhibition of Turkish luxary provided by the Sultan on the occasion of the recent visit of the Kaiser to Constantinople, it is plain that the display was not lost upon the Empress, who has ordered several of her appartments in the palace to be furnished in Turkish style. A MAN-TRAP DISCOVERED, For some time pastthe Berlin police have been mystified by the occurrence of several murders, or rather the disappearance of several persons, supposed to have been mur- dered. The victims wereall traced toa cer- tain locality, and there all knowledge of them ended despite the strict watch kept over the neighborhood. Finally suspicion was directed to the shop of a tobacconist named Bobbe, and to-day his house was searched with the result offinding a ‘‘mantrap’’ in the floor | covering a deep excavation, in which were found the bodies of the missing men.. Bobbe was arrested but has made no confession. The controversy between Prince Bismarck and Count Von Waldersee, which has been conducted for some time through the columns of the German press,continues unabated, with the honors thus far in favor of the Chancellor. The stage of water in the Kiver Rhine is lower than at any time for many years. The report which is in circulation that the Mapdi is surely dead Is generally disbelieved, in view ofthe many previous reports of his death which have been disproved.

By Telegraph te the Post-DIsPaTou. ASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 30.— Tom Reed had a waikover.’’ This was the shout that rang through the corridors of the house - wing | a littie after 1 o’clock this after- noon and the big Portland States man, sitting be- hind the closed doors, heard it with a thrill of delight. He had declared that he would win and he bad won, hands down. He did not get there on the first ballot, but he managed it very cleverly on the second, and it is likely that had the vote been secret, as is usual in speakership caucuses, he would have walked off with the prize by a much larger majority. The change to Reed after the first ballot would have been in the nature of stampede, but for the check put upon mem bers by the roll call vote, which dis- closed to the candidates the true positions of those who had prom- ised to stick till the better end. As it was ‘Reed received on the second ballot 86 votes, or three more than enough to elect him, while McKinley got but 36; Cannon, 19;Burrows, 15, and Henderson, 9. To-night Reed’s friends are oelebrat ing, though the victorious leader carries himself with modest decorum, while the defeated can- didates are putting as good a face as possible on what is for them a Thomas B. Reed bad matter, and striving of Maine. not to look like sorely disappointed men. De- feat for them will be softened by the reflection that in making the valiant fight they have waged, prizes have been guaranteed them in the grand distribution of committee prizes to pe made as sood as Speaker Reed can get his wits together. . READY FOR THE CONTEST. 8 The hall of the House began to fill up this morning as early as 10 o’clock. As usual the new members were the first to arrive. They gathered about in little knots and discussed in knowing fashion the possible outcome of the caucus delegations and then mapped out to their own satisfaction the legislation of the coming session. They were nearly all Re- publicans. Here and there a few veteran Democratic members sat in their old seats, put us the ousiness of the day was neither picnic nor funeral of theirs they were content : | and permit the Republicans to — — — friends and those who were willing to be, in the event of success, paced up and down, gossiping eagerly over the outlook and wuit- ing anxiously for the trouble io begin. Hitber and thither dodged the lieutenants of the candidates, button-holing newly arrived members and driving a nail here and there to make sure of the redemption of promises. Uncle Jo Oannon, the Illinois candidate, was the first to make his appearance. His face wore a beaming smile and he bowed right and left to friends and acquaintances with the utmost suavity. Uncie Jo must have felt in his bones that he had no more show for victory than a snow bali in a blast furnace, but he looked as confident as though he hada hundred members’ written pledges in his pocket. Right behind Cannon came Julius Cesar Burrows, his frock coat buttoned tightly and a smile of satisfaction adorning his countenance. Burrows could have had above a dozen pledges, including his own State delegation, but nobody would have — the fact from his pleased air ot con- dencer. Business was certainly opening very like a game of biuff, REED’S APPEARANCE. A few minutes later the favorite was led to the post. Thomas Brackett Reea of Maine came strolling 13 within, shakins hands good humoredly with members, newspaper men and clerks, and patting the little page boys patronizingly on the head, As Reed took his old seat on the floor a Tyro would have been convinced by tis manner that the fight was all over but the shouting. W hat a lot of friends a promising candidate for the Speakership has, to be sure. How the members crowded around Reed and shook him by the band and assured him of a con- tinuance of their most distinguished consid- eration, and some of the ve members who greeted him so cordially apd shook bis band so warmly carried sand-bags for him under their coat tails, and were only waiting an op- portunity to use them. It was 11:30 before the Iowa candidate, Rep- resentative Henderson, arrived. Henderson is deservedly popular with his colleagues on both sides of the House, and his welcome was warm. The Reed men began to grow a trifie anxious as the hands of the bi clock slowly traveled toward the brow o noon and the Ohio Napoleon, Major William McKinley; failed to appear. McKinley is the only candidate the Reed men have felt afraid of and his movements they have watcned with the utmost care. Their anxiety as to how he might be employing the last minutes of the campaign was relieved at 11:45 when the courtly gentleman who wonld’t go back on his friend even to be president walked briskly in and took his old seat. A dozen members crossed the hall and shook bands with McKinley, who declared confidently, but with modesty, that every- thing was ‘‘all right.’’ In the meantime there was A DEAL OF HUSTLING going on outside the chamber of the House. Oannon’'s two lieutenants, Adams and Powell of Illinois, had opened headquarters in the main room of the Committee of Appropria- tions, anu every stray member who showed his head wag bundied into Cannon’s den and labored with most indefatigably. Hender- son’s forces occupied an adjoining room, while Maj.McKinley set up his standard in the —— of the Committee on Rivers and Har- ors. Burrows’ friends, the solid little Wolverine delegation, went to work in the room of the Committee on Naval Affairs, but despite their best efforts they failed to get any flies within their web. Big Tom Reed didn’t have any headquarters. His work was not done, how- ever. Thethree busy bees, Bayne, Belden and Bingham, assisted by Lodge, looked ak - ter the final details for Reed. A more compe- tent quartette it would be hard to find. At five minutes bofore 12 the floor of the House was cleared ofall but the Republican mem- bers. Mr. Mudd of Maryland, who contests Representative Compton’s seat, wanted to see the wheels go round, andiwas permitted to re- main. Members rusied in at every door, and at noon the caucus was formaliy opened. THE PLAN OF VOTING. : The largest number of votes castin the Re- publican caucus to-day was 165. Of the 169 Republican members four were absent, namely, Wilbur of New York, Morrow of Cal- fornia, Hermann of Oregon and A. A. Taylor of Tennessee. Of 165 members in caucus eighty-three were a majority. By a resolution adopted unanimously at the commencement of business each of the five candidate for the Speakership cast his vote for himself. There were no nominating speechesat all. the five candidates having been by unanimous consent regarded as already numinated. As soon as Gen. Henderson of Illinois had been elected chairman ofthe caucus the 2 sition held by Cannon of Illinois in the last Congress, and as soon as thefother necessary preliminaries had been disposed of, Mr. Mo- Comas of Maryland, who was re-elected sec- retary of the caucus, proceeded to call the roll, a resolution to dispense with the secret baliot having been „ The voting showed immediately that Reed was the onl candidate whose effective — was equa to his claims or expectations. McKinley and Burrows tell behind what they haa and probably behind what they a Cannon was alittle short in these points too, but Henderson of Iowa who had been very modest in his pretensions all through the canvass, came out fuliy as well as had been expected.

S Total. ese e J e 0 000 5 6 165 Then Tom Reed of Maine, upon Maj. Mo- Kinley’s magnanimous motion, was made the unanimous choice of the Republican majority for Speaker of the House, to which position he will formally elected when the House meets on Monday according to the constitutional rovision that Congress shali meet on the first onday of every December. Judg ng by present indications the Demo- crates willthen nominate Mr. Carlisle of Ken- tucky for Speaker, and will give a compli- mentary nomination to all the other elective officers of the last House, but the Democrats being the minority of the House their nomina- tions will be empty hönors simply. THE OTHER NOMINATIONS. The Speakership having been disposed of the next business before the Republican cau- cus was the selection of Clerk of the House to take the place of Gen. John B. Clark of Mis- souri, who has filled that important position admirably in several Democratic Congresses. Only two candidates were put up, and strange to say they were both from the same State— Pennsyivania. There is no record of any similar contest between candidates from the same State. The clerkship of the House is an important position, not so much on account of the salary of $5,000 and the val- uable perquisites as on acoountof the exten- sive patronage he controls. Last year’s ap- propriation bills included over ,000 tor salaries in the Clerk’s office. The two candidates for the place were Maj. John M. Carson, who has been for many years the Washington correspondent of the Phila- delphla Ledger and whoin the Forty-seventh Congress was clerk of the ommittee of ays and Means, and Edwara{ MocPher- son, who was Olerkg of the House some years ago, but who is best known as the com- piler of the New York Tribune’s political al- manac and asthe secretary of the Republican Congressional * Committee for years. This was a hard fought contest and it was understood that the result in the caucus would depend upon the attitude of the Penn- syivania delegation. Out of the twenty-one Republican members from Pennsylvania Car- son had positiye promises of support from eleven. But within the past few days some- thing happened detrimental to Mr. Carson’s chances and Mr. Carson it was the Interferenee of Quay with bis ‘‘maiied hand.’’ to Gray’s interference that Mr. Carson at- tributes the fact that only five Pennsylvania Republicans stuck to him—Kelily, armer, Osborne, Culberson and Dalsell. The caucus vote was for Mclberson, 116; for Carson, 50. And so Mr. Carson was defeated. Now he has declared war—implacable war—upon Senator Quay, and he is a man who in many ways can exercise influences with which it is difficult for the most powerful public manjto cope. SERGEANT-AT-ARMS. The office of Sergéunt-at-Arms was the next ongin order. It has been held under the Democrats by Mr. Leeton of Ohio. He pays the members’ salaries, advances loans to them occasionally, and generally the Ser- geant-at-Arms is something of a friend, an uncle, one might say, to the Congressmen. His salary is 54, 500, and he has assistants whose salaries increase the appropriation for the office to about $16,000, Unexpectedly the name of Ex-Congressman Holmes of Iowa wassprung upon the caucus ana the result was that the vote stood, for Holmes, 14z; for Reed of Minnesota, 18. Reed had been the promising candidate all along, but the freemasonry of Congressmen is such that the mention of an ex-inember’s name is enough to settle any contest. Holmes was notin Washington. He had no iueathat his name was to be presented, and nobody had expected it. FOR DOOR-KEEPER The contest for the Doorkeeper of the House resulted in the selection of Charles W. Adams, editor of the Hagerstown Daily Mail at Hagers- town, Md., thehome of Representative Mo- Cornas who was bis chief sponsor. The vote wae Charles W. Adams, Maryland, 84; J. A. heat of Wisconsin, 82. The office of Door- keeper has asalary of $3,500, with valuable prequisites and the salaries aid to emnployes in his department bring the 88 * for is office up t about $130,000. Mr. A. B. Hurt of Mississippi, was Doorkeeper of the last House. For the loss of the Doorkeepership Mr. Wheat was consoled by being setected for Postmaster of the House. It has been held for years by Mr. Dalton, an Indiana Democrat, and a few Seve ago it looked as if for 8 it would de held by one of the McKee family of Indiana, one Thomas McKee, who even now holds a lucrative clerkship in the United States Senate.

Be- sides being to the pointand having a vein of cheery humor in them, they did not bother the Lord much and did not detain the House. But in nominating Mr. Milburn for Chaplain four years ago, Mr. Morrison of Illinois had declared him to be a good, straight-out Dem- ocrat, who feared the Lord, hated the devil and voted the straight Democratic ticket, and with that testimonial on the record Dr. Mil- burn could not win in a Republican caucus. It was pretty nearly 6 o’clock when the Republican caucus finished its business and adjourned. at 10 o’ clock Monday the Democrats will hold their caucus, and two hours later the new House will be called together by the clerk of the old House when Democrats and Republicans will meet face to face on the same floor, the Republicans in the majority, but not very much so. Un Tuesday the House will be ready to receive the President's mes sage, and the Senate in this respect will walt on the convenience of the House and receive the message at the sume time. q Reed at Home. By Telegraph to the Post-DisParTcu. PORTLAND, Me., Nov. 30.—Everybody knows Tom Reed of Washington, but with the Thomas B. Reed of Portland, Me., the readers of the Post-DiIsPaTcH are less acquainted. It must be admitted that Tom Reed of Washing- ton, nominee for the positicn next to the retary of State in political importance, is not Tom Reed of Portiand,who goes down the street swinging his arms, with bis hat on the back of bie head, this man and off-band Hello, neighbor. He the capital but be saves his best wit forthe boys at home. You must see Tom Reed in his own city and at his own desk in his own office to know him best. He is a man literally bristiing over with humor and bright remarks, and Lawyers Seiders and Chase, who occupy the same of- dee with him, seldom pretend to do any se- rious legal business whenthe Congressman begins to scintiliate. Early in the fall, when it was reported that Henry Cabal Lodge of Massachusetts was to enter the fleld asa New England candidate for the speaker- ship in opposition to Mr. Reed, your correspondent dropped into the latter’s office just as he had finished a letter to Mr. Lodge in reference to the rumor. He, of course, knew that there was no foundation for the — He read the letter just for the fun of the thing, and a mony thing it was in- deed. He appeared to take it for granted that Mr. Lodge was really a candidate, and the mock irony of the epistle could not have been equalied. It was written off-hand, and in the burry with which a busy man usually turns off his dally correspondence, but it was a gem. WHAT IS SAID OF HIM. Said one of his neighbors to-day: ‘‘Mr. Reed has his serious moments at home just as he does at Washington, but itis at home that he relaxes most completely. He stands in awe of no man in the world, and lets his satire fall on the high and the low alike. They call him lazy, but should like to know why. OUertainfy a man who accom- plishes from one year’s end to another as much as does Tom Reed is not lazy. For instance, in the lagt two months he has been personally conducting his canvass for the 1 be bas studied carefully the questions that are likely to come up for legis- lation during the coming session of Congress; he has taken a hand, anda prominent hand, in the political campaign ofthe new State of Montana. He has written several articles for magazines, he has given personal attention to an enormously large correspondence Reed, as yet, has no secretary), he tened hour after hour to the claims of this and that candidate for some Government office in his district, then suddenly he goes off to Massachusetts in response to an urgent call TO TAKE THE STUMP to help out the Republicans in that State; he has been the chief guest at banquets, anda, besides all this, has attended to the ordinary cares of life after the manner of an honest and upright citizen. When Mr. Reed goes down town, abeut UI o’olock in the morning, he leaves one of the most comfortable homes in the State. It is a large three-story brick house on the corner of State and Deering streets. He bought the house a year ago and moved into it last June. The walls of the two rooms on the Re floor are lined with books in the choicest of bindings. In his business and politics, Mr. Reed still finds a good deal of time to read and he kee abreast of the best literature of the day. 4 never lets a néw book that is worthy go long unread. His popularity in hisown district is constantly growing and noconstituency ever took a more genuine pride in its representa- tive. There one slight rawback to the pleasure of Tom Reed’s home life. It is a faction fight within the Republican party, ca y a See esa ning. entire reonal between Mr. Reed and Col. Fred W. w, who is one of the leading party workers in Maine. Col. Dow is a son of GEN.

Mrs. Reed’s father was the Rev. 8. H. Merritt of Centre Harbor, this State, who was one of the most eloquent ora- tors of the Congregational denomination in Eastern New England. He gave bis personal attention to his daughter’s education, and she is a woman of quiet and refined taste, ex- ceedingly well-read, and has a congenial and happy flow of conyersation. Mr. Keed’s only child is a daughter just entering her teens who does her share in making his home happy and cheerful. Where Missouri Stood in the Contest. By Telegraph tothe POST-DISPATCH WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30.—The excite- ment which has prevailed for a week past over the speakership of the next House has caused much gossip among the Missourians. Congressman Wade was among the (frst of „the Southern members to de- clare himselt u supporter of the successful nominee of to-day’s caucus. His open declaration has put him in good favor with Mr. Reed and he wm no doubt come in for substantial recognition in the disper of committee chairmansbips. In the caucus to-day Con an Wade stood alone of the Missouri Congressmen as a champion of the Maine statesman, Messrs. Kinsey, Niedringhbaus and Frank voting for Congressman McKinley. The latter three went down with the McKinley flag nailed to the mast. On the question of clerk the four Missourians stood together as they did for Mr. Adams for doorkeeper, who was chosen by one majority, and as Congressman Frank was the only unpledged member on this office, he lays claim to the dietinctlon of having elected him. The four Missourians were a unit on the following selections; Those of Mr. Holmes for Sergeant-at-Arms and Wheat for Postmaster. When the question of a chaplain came up oo was again a house divided against it- if, Congressman Frank supporting Rev. Mr. Rausdall and Congressman Niedringhaus Rev. Mr. Milburn, the blind preacher. The latter took occasion to explain his vote, as it had been chargad that Mr. Milburn was a Democrat, and in substance said: ‘‘Last December while I was on this floor I pledged myself to votefor Milburn. I do not understand how I can get out of voting for bim on the statements of several speakers. I bélieve aman to be Chaplain should have influence in the courts above, and it matters not what his influence may be with the powers below. I have not read allthe text books which apply to new members and therefore vote as I pledged.’”’ Congressman Wade has all along thought that he would like tobe made chairman of the Committee on Public Buildings avd Grounds, but it fs now said that he will bend bis energies to be placed at the head of the Committee on Agriculture. *thould he got a chairmanship, Mr. Wade will likely make hie son clerk of the same. Congressman Niedringhaus was desirous to have a place on the Ways. and Means Committee, but will be satisfied to be placed on the Committee on Rivers and Harbors or Appropriations. Con- gress man Frank's aspirations are to occupy a chair with the Committee on Judiciary. Con- gressman Kinsey’s desires are not known. Congressman Frank attributes the defeat of McKinley to the fact that a nba many members preferred McKinley to Reed, but having voted for Reed two consecutive times in the past when he could not get it, they felt bound to vote for him when he could get it. As a result ef the work to-day, in which Congressman Wade comes to the surface, the farmer will likely come in for a large share of the patronage. ‘ Complexion of the House. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 30.—Apart from the five Territorial Delegates from Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming who have no votes, the House of Representatives was to-day composed of 829 members, of whom 169 are Republicans and 160 Democrats. When the vacancy in the Sixth Congressicnal District of New York has been filled the pro ortion will be 161 Democrats and 169 Repub- r well understood, and are no grave consequences involved in the question anyhow. The only effect of the clerk's objection to the certificates will be that neither Mr. Cummings nor Mr. Payne will be allowed to vote for speaker, and if the House after organization should not ac- cept the credentials; they bear, these two entlemen will require to wait until the State oard of Canvassers meet before they can begin to exercise the functions of Oongress- men. What the Politicians Say. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 30.—The election of Reed as Speaker is very well received by politicians of both parties. Indeed any one of the five candidates would have been ac- ceptable. Reed’s methods are those of 4 straightaway fighter, who neither asks nor gives quarter. His strong partisanship is Democrats will know where to find him and with what wea s to encounter him. The chief subject of specu- lation to-night is the matter of committes a*signments. has some excellent ma- terial from which to choose hie chair- men. By common consent, MeKiniey will get th chairmanship of Ways and eane ~ Reed’s most formidable adversary im the fig at just finished, as well as in recog- n . on of “is services as a member of the com- mittee. Cannon will doubtless get the chairmanship of the most important commit- tee—Appropriations; where, nevertheiess, he will be bound to defer largely to the judgment and experience of veteran Samuel J. Randall. Burrows may prefer to remain in his place on Ways and Means, but he can have the head of the Judiciary Committee if he wants it. Henderson will Iikely get Fen- sions or Milit Affairs. Lodge for his work in Reed’s behalf will probably be re- warded with the Chairmanship of the Com- mittee on Elections, a most important com- mittee for the Republicans, in view of the large number of contests the small Republican majority and the efforts that will be made to pass a Federal election law. Bayne will get a fat plum in the Chairmanship of Rivers and Harbor, while Maine will be remembered by the assignment of Boutelle to the Chairman- ship of Naval Affairs and Dingley to an im- portant place on Ways and Means. For the there will be a grand scramble as to the out- come of which even astute Tom Reed cannot as yet venture an intelligent opinion. McKinley’s Defeat. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. CoLtumsBeus, O., Nov. 80.—The defeat of Maj... McKinley for Speaker has a very depressing effect here upon the Republican leaders, ex- cept at the Governor’s office, where it gives no little satisfaction, as Gov. Foraker’s friends are disposed to cherge McKinley with secretly knifing him. The Tennessee Election Cases. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPpaTca. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 30.—The election cases have been on trial in the United States Circuit Court before Judges Jackson and Hammond and a jury all the week. Those founded upon alleged ballot box stuffing in Fayette County are nowon. Scores of negro witnesses have already been examined, and scores more are lu waiting to be heard. Many of them do not know for whom they voted, but make breaks for names, and are neatly trapped by lawyers for the defense. A verdict of acquittal after short deliperation is regarded as almost certain. Indiana Republicans at War. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH.

But per- haps they were thinking of a possible time when such invitations would be ex- coating timely, and hence wanted to | set good examples to each other. Thrones are not as firm as rocks nowadays. ee Ir was one of those little, harmless, mild, gentle electric light currents that wouldn’t hurt a babe which burned down $10,000,000 worth of Boston Thursday. These are the things which are tangled in spider webs all around us and start fires, melt wires, kill mules, horses and line- men, but which the electric companies insist would not execute murderers and are not at all dangerous to the public. — . ö — —-—:qv. TRx cable has told us during the week of the dangerous illness in France of young ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the only son of Minister LINCOLN, and, consequently, the only grandson of the great President. All over the world the uncounted milliohs who love the name of liberty will pray that this life may be spared to perpetuate the name, than which there is none more illustrious in history. — . — — Ir is very unfortunate for that small but hard-working class of citizens known as burglars that Judge CAMPBELL is not Judge of the Criminal Court. It is to be presumed that if a burglar caught in the act of felony should promise not to do it again, kind-hearted Judge CAMPBELL would dismiss the case against him and return him his kit of tools to enable him to earn an honest living. —— — ͤ — ad A CHICAGO paper published an editorial the other day on ‘‘The Intellectual Growth of Chicago,“ attempting to prove that the Windy City has advanced mar- velously in literature and the arts. Asif in striking corroboration of the purpose of this article the same newspaper noted the opening of an engagement at a dime museum of a troupe of learned pigs and the arrivalin the city of some hand-or- ganists and street bands driven out of New York by the ordinance forbidding their playing in the street. — — — a THE school election drew 20,252 Boston women to the ballot-box last year, but for this year’s election only 10,584 are regis- tered. This falling off indicates that the enfranchisement of women would im- mensely increase the silent vote. But a big reserve vote may be a great moral influence, even when it ordinarily remains uncast. The mere fact that an extraordi- nary. call may bring it all out in an elec- tion hasa tendency to make parties and elective officers more careful about doing anything to awaken the sleepers. Tue Harvard faculty asserted that the Princeton foot-ball team Contained pro- fessional] players, and now the Princeton faculty, collectively and individually, deny that there are any professional play- ers on the Princeton team. Thus the learned and dignified professors of these two great educational institutions have looked horns over this question of para- mount importance to proper collegiate training. The next movein the game is to call each other liars and have it out. Perhaps the best way to settle it would be according to foot-ball rules and adjudge that side the winner which has less broken bones, sprains and bruises than the other. Gen. Lew WaALLACE’S proposition to give every private in the United States Army a chance to earn a military educa- tion and a commission by good conduct is meeting with contempt and strenuous aristocracy Dbénuse of their shoulder straps. But there is a lot of genuine democracy and good sense in the plan. The chance for education and promotion would be a strong spur to endeavor., As a matter of fact, little besides perfunc- tory work can be obtained from men who have no hope of rising by their own efforts. And then it would take away the taint of favoritism and exclusiveness which now unpleasgantly affects officer circles. 2 Tun Chicago papers still have the — 3 ape ty dats opm 12 wore?

But every drop of rain that falls on any | spot within those limits goes to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, via the River St. Law- rence, and not to the Gulf of Mexico through thé Mississippi and its tributa- ries. The canal which is required to con- nect Chicago with the drainage of the Mississippi Valley will cost $30,000,000, and has not yet pierced the divide“ the British side of which Chicago is located. a — „ — _— DAMNING OFFICIAL RECORDS. In charging incapacity, inefficiency and criminal inactivity on the police authori- ties and the officials of the Court of Crim- inal Correction in their dealings with lot- tery offenders, the Post-Dispatch has kept far within the bounds of reason and justice. The records of these officials give ground for suspicion of something worse than has been charged. Since the Post-DispatcH first revealed the enormous extent of the criminal lot- tery business in this city, the bold methods of its agents and the supine lethargy of the authorities, the latter have been con- demned by their own conduct. The Chief of Police has contented him- self with a few arrests, several of which were so bunglingly made that the prison- ers were immediately released. This in- activity has ruled in his department despite the fact that lottery establish- ments have been run, lottery tickets have been sold as boldly and extensively as before and lottery advertisements have appeared daily in a disreputable local paper. The Police Board hesitated, waited nearly a week and then gave a general order to the Chief of Police to increase his force of lottery detectives and arrest lottery offenders. No further action has been taken, although the order has been almost entirely neglected. The record of Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Dres has been even more startlingly bad. He has issued warrants only when forced to by the com- plaints of the police. In the case of the disreputable publishing com- pany which has printed lottery adver- tisements daily, he issued two war- rants on charges of doubtful soundness against the secretary, of whose responsi- bility he based his opinion on “nothing but rumor.’’ He avoided issuing warrants for the acknowledged president of the com- pany, who isa Congressman, and for the business manager. The Prosecuting At- torney confessed that he had no evidence to prove the responsibility of this man. Finally the warrants were found to be gross blunders in that misdemeanors were charged on the felony clause of the law, thus practically assuring the escape of the prisoner. The proceedings of the Court of Crim- inal Correction have been equally as bad. The prosecution threw up its case against the arrested alleged editor by a confes- sion of blunder at the start. The Judge entertained an objection contrary to the rulings of the Supreme Court in favor of the prisoner. In the case of a lottery vender, Judge CAMPBELL deprived the prosecution of its evidence on the promise of the prisong that he would not violate the law again, in order that the law-breaker might not lose the money he had invested in crim- inal goods. These records are damning evidences of the inefficiency of the officials who made them. They suggest to the people the significant question: What is the reason for such gross inefficiency ? a, — —, ee, THE CHICAGO GAS TRUST DECISION. The courts are drawing the noose aw- fully tight about the neck of that modern monster, the trust. The Louisiana Su- preme Court lias held that pooling con- tracts in restraint of competition are against public policy and will not be rec- ognized or enforced by the courts. Noth- ing but the chance of a reversal by the Court of Appeals is left the Sugar Trust to stand on since the New York Supreme Court decided that the several corpora- tions concerned could not lawfully form such a combination or validly transfer the control of their plants to a combina- tion having no legal status or existence. But the deadliest decision of all is that which the [Illinois Supreme Court has rendered against the Chicago Gas Trust. This Gas Trust was incorporated under the general law of Illinois to engage in the manufacture and sale of gas, and to erect, purchase, lease and operate gas- works. Its articles of incorporation also specifically provided thatit should have power to ‘‘purchase and hold or sell the *‘oapital stock, or purchase, lease or op- ‘‘erate the property, plant, good will, ‘*rights and franchises of any gas-works ‘‘or gas company or companies.’’ In the exercise of this supposed power it had bought up the stock of the other Chicago gas companies, taken possession of their plants and issued and sold its own stock and bonds ta the amount of several times the cost of the property. And while earn - ing a fair return on this greatly watered capitalization, it was giving Chicago cheaper gas than her people ever had be- fore. 3 But the Supreme Court decides that the provisions of the charter authorizing the company to buy out competing com- panies, take possession of their plants and assume control of their business, were void because contrary to public policy and 222 ite sack pore | debts can be collected. 2 as r joy ae of exclusive privileges, and. —— encourage the, freest competition. The recital of the charter authorizing the Gas. Trust Co. to buy up the stock and plants of competing companies was therefore inserted for an unlawful purpose” and | was invalid. The compan y’s authority to erect or purchase gas works or stock and to engage in the manufacture and sale of gas was valid, but not to the extent of legalizing a suppression of competition and the creation of a monopoly. It will be notiéed, however, that none of these decisions can affect a voluntary co-operative association of the stock- holders of several competing companies to run their business in harmony and share the profit or loss upon an agreed basis, each stockholder retaining his stock and each company its own corporate identity. Such an association may be a conspiracy against public policy, but no decision has yet suggested how it can be arraigned and punished or broken up, if its members find it to their interest to co- operate in good faith, and it does not go to pieces through its own inherent weak- ness. — THE Philadelphia Times takes occasion to draw a contrast between St. Louis and Chicago in the matter of supporting dra- maticart. The raising of $118,000 for an opera season by Chicago men and the raiding of the cash boxes of five shows by St. Louis constables are used to make the point that St. Léuis does not give liberal encouragement to music aud the drama. The point is not properly taken. The managers of road shows come to St. Louis impoverished by the niggardly treatment of the public in Chicago and the East and their creditors jump thém with attach- ments here because they know that they will find money in the box office. St. Louis has come to be recognized as the place of the entire West where theatrical No good shows go out of St. Louis without money unless they have made too many debts before they got here. The Times will have to come again. NOISBLES8 powder seems to be as valuable in waras the noiseless kissis in love.

Up and down its high stone steps and through its antique doorway, whence issued stately matrons ng brocades in the days when fashion had her temple on the now equalor-striaken East Side, pass morning and night seven sien- der, sweet faced girls. To the ond side ot them is a cellar groggery, to the other a syna- gogue now being converted to other uses, and across the way aud all about them are cheap shops and dismal, unclean lodging- botses where want joins hands with vice and hopelessness in a strange uncanny dance of suffering; but the seven fresh faced girls in their dainty little gowns, with spotless gloves and boots such as Rivington street had utterly forgotten, and their exguisitely simple bon-: nets half revealing and halt concealing the bright abundance of rippling hair, look ont from under level brows on dirt, despair and drunkenness and are not afraid. Within the house is an atmosphere of warmth and light and color, such as shogid pervade the cosy home nest of any seven happy hearted young women. A round little maid with short biack hair and an immacu- late pinafore opens the door for you. She used to go with toes out of her boots and to be innocent of the bath tub, but the seven girls have worked the change. you into a roomy, high-ceiled sitting-room, with carved columns Of the old days, where the tinted walls, white and gold hangings at the windows, rugs on the stained floor, rows of bookshelves, and odd and artistic chairs,” some in oak and some in bamboo, are all delightfully cheery and comfort- able; and you willbe greeted by Miss Jean- nette Gurney Fine, the presiding genius of the establishment, (that is, if it is Friday, and youare a college woman), whojwill explain two you that this is a college settlement, and that its girl inmates are simply trying to be neigh- borly with the women and children of the tenement houses. There are only two other such colonies in the world of cultivated peo- ple living in the slums; one is Toynbee Hall, which was founded by university men in the east end of London, and the otheris in Chi- cago, and was started by a wealthy woman this summer on bearing of the project of the seven college girls. MISS FINE is a gir] of great personal beauty and with a wonderful charmin her earnest eyes. ésbe comes from Smith College and has given up a position in an aristocratic private school up- town to get acquainted with her Rivington street fellow-beings. One of her sisters in the colony la studyiug medicine in the school which was founded by Dr. Elizabeth Black- well. Another— her name is Dr. Caroline Hamilton—bas just received her degree as a physician and brought ber skill to be of use to this weary, toiling neilghbor- hood, and another still owes allegiance to col- lege balls and is studying for her second degree. These are the four who will remain ja the colony for a year, for there are perma- nents and transients among the young set- tiers. The transients come for two months at atime, and tne three who have there since the house was opened at the beginning of October will be replaced by other Vassar and Smith and Wellesiey giris as soon as De- cember comes in.

They can’t make soups or stews which are cheap and nourishing because they are gone all day in the factories, and the question resolves it- pe y by really into teaching them to broil instead One great institution is library day. The seven have the nucleus of a good circulating library to take the place of flash literature. It is made up of young people's books mostly, for the population of the district is foreign and the older people can’t read in the ENGLISH LANGUAGE. There are to be dressmaking clubs and m- linery clubs and clubs simply to have good times, but the marvel of all who open the door is the establishments it«elf, quite apart from any auxiliary features. "Such a bi and wmarvelousiy clean kitchen. Such cheery spot is Dr. Hamilton’s office in the front basement, where they are learning to bring their bodily woes.

Matters of Interest to the People Beyond | Reach of the Board — Additional Powers Asked — Union Pacific Official Changes—Increased Earnings of the Bur- lington—The Railroads. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disra ron. ES MOINES, Io., D Nov. 30. — The Iowa Board of Railway Com- missioners to- day submitted their annual re- port to the Gor- ernor. The com- missioners inti- mate, though they do not say, that there has Deen an evident disposition on tt he part of some of the old companies to give as little informa- tion as possible, to delay to a late day what was given, and to answer only such questions as were of little relative value in ascertaining the real condition of the financial affairs of the companies reporting, and the condition of Iowa business as compared with that in other States of the whole line. The mileage is given at 8,846, about the same as last year. The pro- ‘portion of the earnings belonging to the lines in Iowa is reported as 887, 188, 399. 76. Several roads have failed to report, but counting their earnings the same as last year, the total gross earnings for the year ending January 80, 1889, are $87 , 469,276.26, an increase over last year of $193,689.58. The passenger earnings are 30 per cent; freight, 69, and miscellaneous, 1. While earnings have increased, expenses have de- creased, so that the net revenue is increased in Iowa $862,887.19. It is utterly impossibla, say the commis- Sioners, ‘‘with the returns furnished to give reliable information on many matters which are of interest to the people of the State.’’ While the tonnage on interstate trafficshows a decrease of nearly 6,000,000 tons, the ton- nage on Iowa business has increased about 850,000 tons. The commissioners ask the Legisiature to determine where a ‘‘switch ends and a ‘‘haul’’ begins, and what is an — r farm crossing. They also ask to be clothed with power to establish new stations, to require the use of union depots, where built, to compel roads to put in a ‘‘Y’’and re- uire two roads in the sametown to connect their tracks so that shippers can use either line. They also s ee that the * law so as to give them power “fix joint tariffs. Removing the Shops. Ry Telegraph to the Posr-Dur Kren. MT. VERNON, III., Nov. 80.—The question of removing the Louisville & Nashville Railroad shops from this city to Howell, Ind., which has been agitating the people of Mt. Vernon for the past year, has now reached a climax. A portion of them have already been moved, including the large engine and a portion of the machinery. Steps were taken to prevent them from moving, but as the bonds which were issued by the township to get them here and on which interest has been paid for a number of years were deolared worthless it was decided to do nothing fur- ther in the matter. Several propositjons by capitalists to putin car works have been re- ceived, but itis not decided what disposition will be made of the buildings yet. Union Pacific Changes.

By Telegraph to the POst-DISPATOR, BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 80.—While the Gov- ernors of Maryland and Virginia are parieying over the Hog Island controversy the dredgers from the two States, acting under the procla - mation of Gov. Jackson, deciaring the waters . thereabouts open to all, are flocking thither in great numbers. Upon the request of M. T. Smith, the Commonwealth Attorney, Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, has telegraphed instructions to Oa Foster, commander of the Virginia State navy, direoting him that as Mr. Lewis had acquired certain rights under the laws of the State, it was his duty to see that Mr. Lewis was protected in them. This means that Capt. Foster, who bad been reluctant to inter- tere in the matter, will be required to arrest Aredgers about the flats, and as these have armed themselves and expressed their de- eon to fight for what they think their hts, another naval war on the Potomac wil ll be the consequence. Several of Gredgers who were arrested and diem! the payment of a nominal fine have pro- vided their boats with Springfield rifies, and, together with others 3 e ave cae aeade off in the direction of reatest excitement ate. ocalit Gov.

All shook hands with him and told him they ptt — to see him, but they did it Mxe the thorough going Democrats they are. The present aoa ag oe of the ane ot Missouri, John E 21454 of Springfiel was also present and had hie hand shaken by everyone on the floor. It was a very jolly time they were having. Thomas R.

Most of them were, in the hall last arent John W. Noble, now Secretary of the Inte- rior, would have been presentif it had been —— but was detained at Washington by usiness of importance. He wrote to Mir. Rodgers some days ago that he hed seen his name on the programme, but he was afraid his friends would not see him on that night. He anticipated that ublic business would detain him at Wasb- naton. However, he wanted the comrades of Blair Post to know that nis heart was with them. This is the concluding paragraph of his letter: Say also that I am doing my duty for them, ana by them here—they need have : no fear on that score. 1 am the friend of the soldiers to-day as I have always been, not for a favored few, but forthe whole rank and file of the deserving of the Grand Army of the Republic and all other men who fought to maintain the nation.’ Last night the following telegram was re- ceived from Mr. Noble: The Commander of the Post, President of the Wo- > Relief Corps, Frank P. Blair Post, G. Regret very much that I cannot be with you to-night. You may be sure I bave at heart the best interest of our comrades, their widows and orphans. I wish you may have a giorious celebration of the tenth anniversary of our old post. May it always be as it has been No. lin merit as in name. JOHN W. NOBLE. Whether having at heart the best intereets of the comrades meant an advocacy of Eugene F. Weigel for Postmaster at St. Louis or not, none of the leading members of the Post would say. All smiled in an odd way at the question. Mr. Rodgers presented to the Post a large photograph of the surviving charter members of the Post, Messrs. Rodgers, Fish, Chase, Stone, Paschall, Mollencott and Dreifus. 7 Department Commander Phelps asked to be excused from speaking. He talked a minute about the post’s growth and gave place to Mr. Warner, who spoke in avery eulogistiv strain of Frank P. Blair and the post that bore his name. He concluded happily. Mrs. Mary Fiannger, chairman of a com- mittee of the Women’s Relief Corps, pre- sented, with the assistance of Leo Rassleur, to the post, a picture of its ten commanders. Mrs. Flannger’s coworkers on the committee were Mrs. J. B. Gandolfo, Mrs. Miss Von Kiesenwetter and Mrs. H. meyer. After this presentation thé handshaking was gn earnest, and then there was something o eat. Laura Lear, Steis- TAE LEGAL LOG, A Texas Hardware Firm in a Sad Plight— Notes From the Courts.

The flames immediately envel- oped the elevator shaft, and closed all mode of egress for the sixty or more men employed on the 7th floor in getting out of the Tribune. The flames lighted up the entire sur- . rounding tearitory, and revealed atevery window in the upper story men clinging to the windows, fire es- capes, and every projecting wall. Their CRIES EOR HELP WERE HORRIBLE to hear. The Fire Department responded nobly and did all they could, but their efforts were of little avail, as the building is a tinder box. Men jumped from the high windows and were seriously injured, many of them fatalyy, but how many is not yet known. he building is eight stories high, standing o Fourth street, between Nicoll and first enue, and bad but one stairway, a winding air, and one elevator, which proved a splendid pathway for the flames. The Tribune employed fifty printers and between fifteen ortwenty men in the editorial department in addition. The St. Paul Pioneer Press had a branch office employing five men in the sixth story. " — vy ; 8 N 05 TMU ser. n, 70: KY * on EIGHT MEN KILLED. There were about a nundred men employed on the top floor. Of these eight are known to be killed. Several tried crossing to another building on telegraph wires, but their strength failed, and they made twenty to fifty feet only to drop. Some jumped or fell from window ledges. One man is said to have shot himself When all hope fied. THOSE KNOWN TO BE DEAD. Those known to be dead are Harry Colwell and McCutcheon, printers in the Tribune com- posing room, who were Killed by jumping. Prof. Olsen, President of the Vermillion (Dak.) University, was in in one of the edi torial rooms on the sixth floor and fell from the fire escape «and was instantly killed. He was spending his Thanks- giving here with his brother, and had madea friendly call on a friend connected with the Tribune. One unknown man lies in Circhler’s drug store. He probably worked on the sixth flvor of the building. It will be impossible to obtain an exact list to-night, as there were nearly one hundred persons employed on the seventh floor when the fire broke out ORi MIN ON THE FIRE. The fire originated in a law office on the third story of the building about 10:30. The elevator man noticed the smeil of smoke and called attention of some of the persops around The cry of fire was raised story to investigate and then returned to work. Before long smoke began to fill the narrow stairway, the onty one in the building, and everybody began to make preparations for their departure. No immediate danger was feared. The only exits to the building, which was erroneously supposed to be fre- proof, were a narrow staircasg scarcely wide enough for two persons to come down abreast, the elevator and a siingle fire escape in the north end of the building. Several persons had made their escape in the meantime, but in less than ten minutes the flames sought the elevator shaft, which acting as a mammoth flue conveyed the flames to the top story, and soon the editorial rooms in the same side of the building where the fire origin- ated were a secthing mass of flames. In a few minutes it reached the other side where the composing room was situated. A general alarm was founded and all the engines in the eity responded tv it. DESPAIRING CRIES FOR HELP. The imprisoned printers gathered at the windows in the south end and sbrieked wildly, despairingly for aid, Hurry the ladders’’ was the awful refrain that burdened the air. Hurry the ladders for God's sake, shrieked with all the vehemence and power that the anguished souls of the dozens in peril of their lives by an awful death was all they could nutter. The vast crowd that from the oppo- site side viewed the fire wreak its work, shouted words of encourage- and good = spirit to them in strenuous endeavors to buoy them up. ‘The long ladder seemed to move up at a „ pace, but was finally rested in post- „and the crowd began to descend, the mes making steady encroachment in the er where the frightened men had huddled the seventh mlalse ie Wrowering animals, The life nets were and some were saved by this means. tire building at t heen, bi Gh 4 xe . ere PPP PPP * 3 5 . fa 335 | ings, occupied. | and adjoining dulld- & Van Winkle’s saloon and McCristie’s ta Store, are doomed. The Tribune Building was five years old, ageven-story brick structare, and valued at $800,000. It contained the Tribune newspaper, the Tribune - Star and the Journal, the Tribune job printing establish- ‘ment, the editorial rooms of the Minneapolis department ofthe St. Paul Pioneer-Press, the Svenske Fotlkets „ a Swedish paper, and numerous law and real estate offices. The loss will easily reach over $1,000,000; insurance not ascertained at this hour. ADDITIONAL DEAD. James Igoe, the Associated Press operator, and Dan Maloney, a printer, are among the list to be added to the dead. Jerry Jeukinson, a printer on the Tribune, is dead. ; The unrecognized man has since been rec- ognized as Milton Pickett, a reporter on the Pioneer Press. MIRACULOUS ESCAPES. Several miraculous escapes are reported, some jumping from one window ledge to an- other and so on to such places that they could make to the stairway. A few escaped by the fire-escape. There is only one fire-escape, and this in avery inaccessabie part of the building. The elevator burned early, the stairway also, thus cutting off all escape. The bullding was an old box and is a total loss. . SCENES AT THE MORGUE, At the morgue lay flve bodies, that of Prof. Olsen enclosed in a plain pine coffin. On the floor are the bodies of Jerry Jenk- inson, a ecompositor on the Tribune, a young man =~shortly to be married. Beside him are two bodies, so bloated and burnt, with blood still oozing from the terrible wounds, that thus far they bave not been recognized. On two tables are the corpses of Robt. McCutcheon. acompositor and Milton Pickett, a reporter on the Pioneer Press. Jenkinson endeavored to make his escape on the heavy telegraph wires. He clambered down a short way, but was unable to retain his hold and was obliged to let go and dropped to the ground. When picked up he was dead. It is not yet known how Pickett met his death. He was badly burned and it required a careful inspection to recognize him. McCutcheon, a big heavy man jumped and was instantly killed. JAMES IGOE’S DEATH. James Igoe, the Associated Press operator, probably did not hear the alarm, being busy listening to his instrument. He made a vain endeavor toescape by coming down the wires. He had descended until within about fifty feet of the pavement when he was compelled to loosen his hold. When picked up he was in an unconscious condition and died while being conveyed to the hospital. His hands were badly lacerated and also the back of his neck as though he had vainly endeavored to support himself in that manner. He leaves a wife and family. Two pistol shots were heard during the progress of the fire, and it is supposed that some ofthe printers voluntarily ended their existence. Thus far no trace of them has been found. ~~ flying in an ANOTHER BODY IDENTIFIED. One of the unidentified bodies at the morgue has since been recognized as thatof Patrick Miles, the Bay Associated Press operator and also the night agent of that company. How he met hie death is not yet Known. The report that Dan Maloney is dead proves to be erroneous, ashe has been seen since. Jimmy Kohl, a messenger boy on the Tribune’ is said to be missing. Ohas. Alf Williams and his brother William had narrow escapes, and both are badiy burned. The police who lined First avenue south say they saw six men jump from upper stories. A number of men are still missing. THE BUILDING A DEATH TRAP. The’ building is a total loss, being gutted from garret to cellar. The Trib- une Co. loses the entire plant, valued at $75,000 or $100,000, insured The buliding was erected in 1883 and was the first of the tall buildings erected in Minne- apolis. It was not fire-proof and complaints bad been made time and again by printers who protested tothe owners of the insuffi- clency of thefire escapes. OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING. The Tribune building was occupied as fol- lows: First floor, Tribune, Pioneer Press, Star and Journal business offices. Second floor—I. C. Seley & Co., Bell Invest- ment Co., A. B. Nettleton, Cross & Carleton, and Remes dell Engraving Co. Third floor—Republican League, W. OChan- ning Whitney, P. M. Dahl, Tribune Building Company, Office Journal Editorial Rooms; Brooks, lawyer. Fourth floor—Hart & Brewer, law office; Hall & Gamble, real estate; W. D. Rawley, in- snrance; W. B. McCord, Hobart & Hobart, J. G. Blake, G. F. Hitchcock, court stenog- rapher. Fifth floor — Tribune Job Printing Co., office and bindery. W. F. Booth, legal blanks. Sixth floor—Pioneer editorial, United Press, and a portion of the Tribune editorial rooms; Tribune job printing press and composing- room. N Seventh floor — Tribune editorial and posing rooms. Eighth floor—Svenske Folkets Tiduinge a 8Swe- dish paper. Inthe basement were the Tri- bune- Star and Journal press and mailing rooms, engines and boilers belonging to the Tribune Building Co. ADDITIONAL LOSS ESTIMATES. The adjoining buildings were saved by the exertions of the firemen, but the Tribune Building is a smoldering ruin. The loss is $160,000; insurance on the building is said to be 5100, 000. The loss to the Journal is $85,000; insured for $30,000. The Tribune loss is fully as much asthe Journal, fully cov- ered by insurance. The Star is the afternoon edition of the Tribune and its loss is covered by the same policy. The Tribune loses its entire files. Hitchcock, the court stenographer, loses the evidence in all the cases taken for a number of years in the Dis- trict Court. Millman, the commercial editor of the Tri- bune, who lost his life, lost his wifea few weeks ago by asphyxiation. _ THE START OF THE FIRE. The fire canght in a mass of paper in an un- used room on the third floor. The room had been closed for more than a yea. The smoke was detected by J. T. Mannex, police reportor of the Pioneer Press, who burst open the door. It spread rapidly to the hallway and reached the eleva- tor shaft and was in a minute or two leaping toward the upper floors. An alarm was given, but the fire de- partment seemed desperately slow in its re- sponse. Before a stream had reached the upper floors the windows were full of men calling wildly for help, and the street below was a mass of human beings. rushing about powerless to aid them. Ladders were brought quickly and the work of saving men began. Many had already escaped by the fire escape and stair way, and the ladders rescued many more, Half a dozen who had despaired of receiving assistance jumped, and several were crushed. Miraculous escapes were numerous. Lad- ders were too short and men had to drop com- list of the dead will increase. oH ae ret ‘ — ‘ 4 a - . eat Pa ie > * . ae ay 4 irs 8 4 eee 9 5 — 8 Se ery gS 1 e n S ; — 5 eee eee eee P 1 a five to meet various local unions and take some action. There is intense indigna- ion felt at the owners of the building. Some three years ago the printers claiming the dire possibilities that might arise in case of fire demanded an that hdditional fire escape be placed on the building. The request was not granted by the owners. of the building, and an appeal was taken to the city, but there was no legal way of compelling the owners to place an additional éscape to the structure. Another Account. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. Sr. Paul, Minn., Nov. 80.—Eleven human lives and half a million dollars worth of prop- erty were sacrificed to-night by & fire that originated in the rooms of the Union League on the third floor of the Minneapolis Tribune building. The fire was discovered shortly after 10 o'clock by a district messenger. Almost before an alarm could be turned in every door and window of the immense seven-story building was belching fire and smoke. There were upwards of eighty men, including the editorial staff and a force of compositors, at work on the seventh floor, and these were penned in like sheep by the sheets of flames that separated them from the elevator and stairway. There begana frenzied stampede for the windows and roof. Meanwhile the fire department had gotten a ladder up to the sixth floor and from there thirty or forty men were taken out of the building and landed on terra firma. Those who were onthe roof dared not de- scend and several jumped to the roofs of ad- joining buildings and escaped with a few bruises. HOW THE VICTIMS DIED. Dr. Olsen, President of the University of Dakota, at Vermillion, was among those on spe roof, and, seeing all means of cscape cut off, he essaped to jump to an adjolning building. He slipped and fell to the ledge of a window on the sixth story and from there to the ground. He fell head foremost and was instantly killed, almost every bone in his body being broken. J. F. Igoe, night operator for the Associated Press, stuck to his post until it was too late to escape. He was frightfully burned about the head, and in hisagony he jumped from the burning building and was killed. Day Operator Myles of the Associated Press, whose home is in Detroit, Mich., at- tempted to follow Igoe, but fell back into the crater of fame and was burned to a crisp. Milton A. Picket, a reporter for the Pioneer Press, whose office isin the Tribune building, was caught with acompanion named Pierce, on the stairway, and there they were roasted to death and subsequently crushed to a pulp by falling timbers. While the fre was at its height J. McCun- cheon appeared at one of the windows of the composing-room and jumped intoa net held by the firemen below. The weight of his body carried the net to the stone pavement, and he died a few moments after being picked up. PREFERRED TO DIE BY THE BULLET. A few moments after he had jumped another of the printers appeared at a window on the opposite side of the room. He was told to wait a moment and a ladder would be sent up to him. He ap- peared crazed by fright, however, and instead of waiting pulled a revol- ver, and placing the muzzie to i his bead fired. The report was heard in the street and the man seen to dropto the floor. His name could not be learned. It was rumored that another man had also shot himself, but this report could not be verified. SOME FORTUNATE ESOAPES. Some of the printers, who were the last to leave the building, made their escape on theextension ladders put up dy the firemen. Among those was Frank Hoover. Just as he left the ledge and got on tothe ladder, which the firemen were lowering, W. H. Williams, the foreman, appeared upon the ledge. The ladder was then too far for him to reach. ‘*Good-bye, Frank, he called out to the boy below him as he leaned over and saw the ladder disappear. The firemen below saw him asthe ladder came down and rushed it up again just @s the flames reached Williams. He lost no time in getting on the ladder and was lowered to the ground as the flames swept across the ledge upon which he had just stood, sweeping all before. His hand was badly burned, and he will be crippled for several weeks at least. The bodies of five of the victims are still in the ruins. A WIERDLY TERRIBLE SCENE. The scene from the street was wierdly terri- bie. Within thirty minutes from the time the fire was discovered flames were bursting through the roof, and were thrusting their forked tongues out of the windows. At the southwest corner, on the seventh floor, the heads of a score of men were seen at the win- dows, through which smoke was pouring in thick, black volumes. The crowds on Fourth street and First avenue groaned shrieked and screamed for ladders. Slowly the Uays truck mounted up towards them from Fourth street. Finally it reached the sixth floor. Then Aa man was seen to let himself down by his hands from the window ledge of the seventh. The sixth floor was the editorial rooms of the Pioneer Press in which a number of reporters were at work. When the smoke became heavy on that floor Re- porter Jos. T. Mannix started down the stair- way to make an investigation. In the extreme north end of the third floor were two rooms which had formerly been used by the league of Repubil- can clubs. These rooms had not been occupied for about six months except as a place to stow waste paper. In this room the fire started presumably from spon- taneous combustion. When Mr. Manix reached the dodr of this room he saw through the glass in the door that it was all on fire. He threw himself against the door and broke in, intending to extinguish tue fire. When the door was broken in the flames burst ontin Mr. Manx’s face, driving him down the stairway. He made a desperate attempt to go back to warn his companions, butthe flames were too fierce and he was Griven back. Several men were on the stairway at the time and be directed him then to turn in the alarm on the corner of Fourth and Nicolet avenue. For some reason no one did so and there was con- siderable delay in getting the alarm to the de- partment, at least fifteen minutes elapsing. THE FATAL ELEVATOR SHAFT. The eleyator shaft is in the entre of the building and, acts as a big chimney, sticking the flames up to the root, wepreading the fire throughout the entire building. When the fire department arrived the entire building was in flames. There was only one stairway in the building, and that was built around the elevator shaft. As the fire started at the head of the stairway on the third floor every avenue of escape was cut off except a single fire escape on the orth side of the building. The flames burned out the window on the gy 1 e i * e ag M PR Ey FO Re I, Re RRR Pye . - 8 n » : . ; fe, 0 : * 2 2 2 Ta es ral — — 1 * . 7 0 ’ - N — ik ARES = 2 ey — n . ne — 7 f e a 4 24 ¢ * Rf . * 45 = es) cS ge Se a ee ed a #2 5 25 > ek gen. be * Sig? . 4 rf : — 1 3 4 5 mS hae Ut 2 e * * a : a ioe N pst!

A Ball Dress for the Duchess of Aosta— Velvet the Favorite Material for Recep- tion Dresses—Eiffel Red — Fashionable Colors—Reproductions of the Eiffel Tower —The Latest of the Exposition. Special Correspondence of SUNDAY PoOst-DIsPaTcH. Paris, Nov. 10. T is now time to begin to consider some of the grand tollettes of the season, and though a temporary check has been dealt to the production of dresses for royal la- »\edies by the death of =the King of Portugal, it will not last very long. Court mourn- ing is only of thirty days’ duration, so the demise of Don Louis will not cast a very dense or protracted shadow over the garb of his female relatives. Worth has just executed a group of lovely dresses for the Queen of Italy, the fair Marguerita being one of his most constant customers. One of these is a carriage costume in moss- green velvet, bonnet, jacket and dress with plaited skirt just touching the ground being all of the same material. There is another of the same style in velvet ofa dark shade of electric blue. Eachof these street costumes has a half dozen pairs of silk stockings supplied with it which are dyed of precisely the same color of the velvet. A dinner dress in satin in two shades of green,one pale water green and the otber a light shade of the new reed green, is embroidered with chenille and silver thread. A richer and more lovely tollette is in peach colored and pale peach-blossom satin and pale blue watered silk, trimmed with ostrich plumes, which are caught to- gether with allver cords. But the most po- etic, though perhaps not the most magnificent of these dresses, is a dinner dregs that repre- sents ite royal owner's name- flower, the vio- It is in faille francaise of thé richest quality, and a lovely shade of lilac at once brilliant and delicate in tone. The skirt front is bordered with amassed gariand of violets without foliage, aud the train is looped back witb knots of moss green velvet ribbon to give the coloring the relief of the green of the leaf. Each dress is accompanied with satin slippers and with silk stockings, both exactly matching its “ PREVAILING HUE. The ball and operacioak to be worn with these charming dresses is in a new style of double-faced plush, the exterior a rich silver- shaded green and the interior in a delicate hue of old rose. It is made in the long paletot shape, crossing over the breast and closing under the left arm. For the Duchess of Aosta (the Princess Letitia Bonaparte) M. Worth forwarded at the same time an evening dress 'n pale pink tulle and satin, the long train covered alternately with bands of satinin graduated widths, and with very full wide ruches of tulle. The skirt front, in full straight widths was hela down just above the hem with an embroidered design on black and silver, very delicate and lace like, and fringed wit silver pompilles. Another very striking dress from his establishment was the costume worn dy the Countess Rene Vigier (formerly: the great prima donna Sophie Crovelli) at a grand wedding at Marseilles. It was in rose-pink velvet embroidered with long sprays of flow- ers in minute bugles of cut jet. The skirt was bordered with awide band of biack ostrich feathers, a narrower band edging the corsage. The bonnet was a oapote of the jet embroidered pink velvet, ornamented with a cluster of black plumes. From my recent observations I should say that velvet will be the favorite material for visiting and reception dresses this winter. For young married ladies velvets in moss green, steel gray, electric blue and a light shade of heliotrope are shown, the deeper shades of violet, sapphire, blue and seal-brown being reserved Sey, wearers. Turquoise blue in French faille or peau de sole is combined with seal-brown velvet in the shape of side anels and corsage ribbons. Sky bine is argely used to adorn hats or bonnets in black velvet and jet. The new SIFFEL RED is extensively worn, and promises to be as popular as the structure from which it takes Its name. Other new colors are the Mon- soreau,’’ a warm shade of old rose; the ‘*Manola,’’ which is a brilliant orange; *‘In- dian gold, maize, and a vivid yellow known as Cleopatra color. The new greens are the verbena; the Nile green, which ish cast, and billiard green, which isa bright yet durable hue. The genuine old-fashioned royal purples are coming once more into vogue. A very pretty new material for even- ing wear is the Liluminated Fountain silk, which has a white satin surface shot under- neath with changeable tints of rose pink and pale blue. Some * individual recently un- dertook to make a list ofthe articles that are miniature reproductions of the Eiffel Tower. There are candlesticks, paper-cutters,clocks, inkstands, paper-weights, bonnet pins, brooches, ear-rings watch charms, cravat ins, ice 5 jolly moulds, lamp shades, the meters, night Ii » eto.

Drunk- enness was literally unknown, in spite of the fact that beer and wine were freely offered for sale and largely partaken of on every side.

Nearly 6,000,000 passengers have been transported by the Decauville Uroad, and that with but one solitary accident. , And with all its glory and its success, the Exhibition has wrought avast and unfore- seen result.

Their Application for Citizenship Denied in a Vigorous Decision, SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 80.—Judge Anderson ‘to-day denied the application for citizenship made by Mormons who had taken the Endow- ment House oath. He holds that the Church is a treasonable organiza- tion in its teachings and hostile to the Government in its practices, disobeying the laws and seeking the over- throw of the Government. The oath binds its members, under penalty of death, to im- plicit obedience in things temporal as well as spiritual to the priest- hood and to avenge the death of Joseph aud Hiram Smith upon the Govern- per — people of the United States. There- fore aliens who members of the church are not fit on be made citizens. The Judge reviews the evidence at great leAgth and lays stress upon tune refusal of Mormons to give the nature of the oath, while ex-Mormons described it as above stated. The Judge quotes from speeches of Brigham Young and other leaders and leans tothe opinion that the Mountain Meadow massacre was inspired by their utter- ances. JAY GOULD AT BAY.

By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. ASHINGTON, d:. C., Nov. 30.—The Western District Marshalship is worrying Con- gresseman Wade of Missouri more than anything else just now, anditis said by good authority that his candidate, Col. Tracy, will not succeed. Ab attempt was made by the latter's friends to have the St. Louis delegation indorse him, but as it had been agreed last spring that the St. Louis members shouid keep hands of in Western District affairs, the indorsement to-day was refused. The same request was made on behalf of Col. Jim Beach for Surveyor of Customs at St. Joe and refused. Ira K. Aldeman of Maryville is the principal opponent for the Western District Marshalship to Col. Tracy. He argues that Collector Dorale of Kansas City, First Deputy Fike of Warrensburg, Ap- Ppraiser Ross Griffin of Kansas City, Attorney Neal and Assistant Jones, all come from south ofthe Missouri, andthe north side has noth- ing, while the North side cast over one-half of the Republican votes at the last election. Judge Alderman’s chances would be good but his enemies are making allegations against him. In the meantime Col. Ellis of Lebanon is working hard and quietly to suc- ceed. Congressman Wade will make things lively if he cannot get Tracy through. THE POST-OFFICES. The St. Louis Post-office contest is prac- tically off untilafter Congress meets, for the reason that the new appointee will not be wanted to qualify until a bond can be given which will not have to be duplicated.

Post-office Department has stated that after Congress is in session the postmaster- ship will be given out. The first appointee as postmaster at Pal- myra, Mo., committed suicide, and a second appointment was made. By dating from the first appointment the term will expire in May next, and as no charges can be found against the incumbent, Mr. Pedicord, he will be allowed toremain. H. Koch has been agreed upon for the place. So at Hannibal, while J. Catlett has been settied upon to succeed to the place, the in- cumbent will not be disturbed for a year. MISSOURIANS AT THE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 80.—As President of the Service Pension Association of the United States, Gov. Alvin P. Hovey to-day issued an address entitled Soldiers Rights— An Appeal to the Loyal People of the United States and Their epresentatiyes in Congress.’’ The fir portion of the address explains that the Service Pension Association does not meanto inter- fere with the system of disability pensions now in operation, but asks, independent of it, a pension for every man who served sixty days or more in the Union Army. This is not meant to be only tor the support of the survivors but for a mark of honor, something as the Victoria Cross and the French Cordon of Honor. The address says: ‘*The soldiers of the revolution, of the war of 1812-15, wien France, witn Tripoli, with Mexico, with all our Indian wars, were generously given lands by millions of acres and pensions for life. For those who fought last, ih the Rebellion—an unnatural conflict— lands and life pensions have been refused, with billions of acres of public domain, anda surplus in opr treasury thatthe ingenuity ofour Statesmen bas been unable to exhaust.’’ The final paragraph says: Send no representa- tive to Congress Who will not honestly and earnestly peppers your just claims and de- mands.

COST A GOOD ROUND sun. Silken Folds Ablaze With Splendid Water Coleors—The Newest Wrinkies for Ball. Reem or Theater—Beautiful Trifles That Om the Very Rich Can Buy—The Mania for Fan Collecting. Spec ial Correspondence of SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. A EW YORK, Nov. 28. * Funny, isn’t it, that fans sell best in December? But they do. They are not used to cool the cheeks of beau- ty, but simply as part and parcel of costly costumes. A delicate affair of point lace sprinkled with 200 diamonds goes well with a gown from Paris, and a sparkling necklace such as fashion now ap- proves. Such a fan is not- ably rich and ele- gant with its carved mother of pearl sticks inlaid with gold, its golden rivet and golden bow set with dia- monde. The lace is in a pattern of flowers, with a small put brilliant diamond at the heart of each flower, and something over $400 worth of gems is used lu ita decoration. The political economist, who is always elevat- Ing hie troublesome eyebrows, would find justification for this, to him, extravagant whim of luxurious women if fashions in fans did not change with every season, and ifa maid could use one long enough for her gal- lant to know the minutest tracery of its pat- tern, as in the good old days when all the ladies at an evening party threw down their fans on a table and all the gentlemen chose partners by picking up each the fan of the fair dame he loved best, recognizing the pretty trifie that hid her blushes as he would have done her eyes or the tips of her white fingers. Unhappy would be the knight or esquire now: adays if put to such a test of his chivalry. It was a fan that saw seasons enough to be famous, of which it was written: ** Loves in a riot of light, Roses and vaporous blue, Hark to the dainty frou-frou! Picture above, if you can, aye that could melt as the dew— This was the Pompadour’s fan!“ Yes, and it had a lace mount that cost $30,000. Each of its sections was nine years in the making and the medallions that adorned it were masterpiece of miniature painting. It ig mot recorded that any New York belle has spent such a sum on a fan, but many of those which are now being ordered for CHRISTMAS GIFTS are almost rich and elaborate enough to be- come like the Pompadour’s, historical, 4 7 1 4 — Of these none could be more havoc making and bewiidering in effect than a pale blue gauze fan covered with yellow chrysanthe- mums tipped with reddish gold hien the one young lady who wore full evening dress on © first night of Aunt Jack wielded with composure as she satin a box and thought, haps, that she was the only properly ressed woman in the theater. Evening dress is not common even among the society por- tion of first nighters, and this dark-eyed blonde beauty attracted much attention. The chrysanthemums on her fan matched a bunch at her bosom, and when she lifted the amber sticks it could be seen that the old and red were copied from the lights in er hair. But the most fetching thing about the chrysanthemum fan was the fact that the pretty and fragile gauze mount was arranged as a mask, after the clever idea evolved by Mrs. Kendal, and when it was lifted to the flower-like face ite owner might be powdering —perish the thocght—or nibbling sweetmeats —this, too, is unsentimental—or surveying good-looking Bobby X. three or four rows away— how he felt the blood rush to his face and his finger tips at the 1 among the pos les and through the peepholes. This new fashion of the mask fan is worthy ofthe days of good Queen Anne, dn whose réign society was more frank in its speech than delicate and the maiden who WAS TOO INNOCENT or too discreet to listen found her fan a screen behind which it was often convenient to retire. The modest fan was used no more, And virgins smiled at wnat they blushed before, says Pope, in talking of what seemed to him degenerate days. - Anotber novel fan of the season which is certain to do execution if it falls into skillful hands is of delicate bluish gauze set in a frame of curling goose or swan’s plumes. The gauze is fine and transparent and is painted with witch-hazeltwigs starred with small yellow flowers. The painting, which is wonderfully done onthe airy material, runs off on the feathers, which are mounted on half a dozen of the sticks on either side, their smooth stiff surface affording an equal! good background for brush and colors. Alt About the top is set a wavy edge of the blue feathers. Kid and Gauze’ Fans. A third notable example from the Christmas collection is of black gauze and was ordered yesterday for a young widow whom the Wall street broker who will send it to her is be- li¢ved to consider the prettiest brunette in town.

One large collection in Brooklyn contains some of Albert’s best examples. One is an exquisite = scene painted on gauze, one is a French girl’s boudoir and oth- ers are studies in pink and blue and white of Dresden china landscapes. Mme. Chenne- biere has painted fairies hovering over flow- ers, cherubic jJnfantse and the quarrels and reconciliations of sweethearts and swains. All of these are pretty, but few have the charm of the genuine uis Quinze fans in those famous old Vernis Martin mounts which time bas not robbed of their luster and which are shown with a connolisseur’s delight in the smiling and simpering Magjuesses,the powder andthe patches, portrayed with the minute — delicate aft, the graceful prettiness of hat z PLEASURE-LOVING PERIOD.

The carving of the sticks Is a special feature. Instead of being left without ornamentation these run to the extreme edge of the fan, and are elther delicately painted in small flowers, or carved and inlaid. Another feature of the new fans is that the tops are scalloped out round each stick and edged with a fine lace heading. ‘ Lace fans often cost as much as those which are painted, the Vaiencienes, Duchess, or Venetian being spread on stick of ivory, ebony, tortoise shell or mother of pearl. Fewer ostrich feather fans are used than last winter, though the fan which is made of lumes measuring from 18 to 20 iaches, these ast being worth each a small fortune, is so rareand so beautiful that it can never be otherwise than the height of style. Gauze fans embroidered with disks of darned work are made by an artistic woman who earns a very comfortable livelihood from their sale, some of her best examples bring - ing as bigh as $150. Shapes in fans have not altered from last season. Someof the extreme novelties are qnite small and approach the old French forms. Others abandon the regulation semi- circle for a high curve. The art of managing a fan is one in which Sith the revival of old- fashioned gowns aud old-fashioned dances the girl of the period, who is complimente when an old beau aseures her she looks like her grandmother, is beginning to take lessons. [Copyright.] WHY DOCTORS DISAGREED. One Physician Had Seen Two Authenticated Cases and Two Had Not Seen One. The Medical Society meeting last night at the Polytechnic Buliding was the most stormy since the division over the election for a pres- ident a numder of months ago, There was a large attendance of phy- sicians and one of the biggest assem- blagest of students ever known. The discussion which provoked the trouble was on Dr. Shaw’s case of meyotonia. Three weeks ago Dr. Shaw introduced to the society a man who be claimed was suffering from that affliction, which is of so rare a character that only forty cases have been reported in the world, and only three in thiscounty. Dr. Bremer disagreed with Dr. Shaw’s diagnosis of the case and pronounced it not one of myotonia. He had the decided advaotage over his brethren ia having seen two authenticated cases of myotoniain Ber- lin, and being in the position consequently of knowing what he was taiking about. the case introduced by Dr. Shaw was not of that character. He made certain tests and the results, he claimed, fully justified his con- clusions. Drs. Shaw and Bauduy differed from him. Last night Dr. Shaw had a whole stack of books carried upto the speaker’s table and with these and alot of manu soript he attempted to show that he was right. When he bad concluded Dr. Bauduy, who on the previous Saturday evening did not agree with Dr. Shaw’s diagnosis, but strongly dis- puted the infallibility of Dr. Bremer’s tests to rove that Dr. Shaw was wrong, got possess- on ot the floor. He presented ten new rea- sons why he considered Dr. Bremer’s tests not conciusive,and confessed that since he had read up on the suoject he was inclined to lean tow Dr. Shaw’s N though he wisbed to state emphatically that he did not consider the diagnosis certain. He used some very forcible language in speaking of Dr. Bremer’s tests as applied to the case under discussion ; at one time he became 60 personal that Presi- dent Lutz called him to order. When he had finished Dr. Bremer arose and expressed his 1 that the discussion of the case should have resulted in personal attack. A stranger, he said, coming in- to the room would nave been at once reminded of the — — between Kilkenny cats. He very much wished te be given an oppor- 28 of reply to Drs. Bauduy and Shaw, and if granted that privilege by the society would promise to do so in a scientific and im- partial manner, and without resorting to the personalities his opponents had indulged in. Dr. Bauduy moved thas he be given an 0 tgp me! to have his say next Saturday night. One of the physicians ob- on the 8 that the discussion, ttle practical benefit to the . had already taken up too much time. Dr. Hughes said be hoped the motion would prevail as he Was anxious to say something on the subject himself. Dr. Shaw seconded Dr. Bauduy’s motion, and asked whether the discussion would be confined to Drs. Bremer and Hughes. President Lutz as te understood it there was to be a free fight open to all comers, and with this e nation the motion was carried and the society adjourned. A Military College for Mexico, Mo.

She has had & strange experience during the past month for a little miss ot sweet sixteen, and the mystery surrounding her kidnaping from in front of the residence of Mr. Brouthers on Mississippi avenue, her removal to the House of the Good Snepherd and her subsequent trip to a safe hiding place have excited the interest of the community and made her name well known throughout the city. Mr. Brouthers, who was appointed her guardian atthe request of the Humane So- olety, has endeavored to secure possession of the friends of Mr. John G. Taylor, her uncle and former guardian, and Mr, Brouthers has been unable to find her. He applied for a vrit ot babeas corpus, but Judge Woerner decided that he could not issue one directed against Mr. Taylor. Hesought to have Mr. Taylor cited for contempt, but that also failed. Hethreatened criminal proceedings, but they have not been begun. Meantime Mr. Taylor has kept quiet, and so have his friends. The little girl is now safely stowed away in St. Louis, but she will probably appear in oourt aud ask for the reappointment of her former guardian. THE ABDUCTION. On Monday, November 18, as Allie Jackman was getting into a carriage, in company with Miss Hunt and Mrs. W. H. Brouthers, in front of the residence of the latter, six men seized | & the Jackman girl and forcibly thrust her into a closed carriage, after which they drove rap- idly away. The abduction occurred on the | day which had been set by the court for the appointing of a guardian tor the girl, or rather the day on which the girl was to make known to the court ber choice of guardian, She had expressed a de- sire to have Mr. W. H. Brouthers, who had given her a home, appointed as her legal guardian, giving as her reasons for such a request that Mr. Taylor, who had been her guardian for three years had, it was charged, neglected ber and she told a story of having been beaten and abused by Taylor and the other members of his household. This story has not stood the test of investigation on every point. She claimed that they did not permit her to have sufficient clothes. She also complained of belag nearly starved to death From tne evidencesof witnesses, who saw her at the time she ran away from Taylor’s house, she was not well > She expressed herself as being willing and eager to learn. The case was brought up before Judge Woerner IN THE PROBATE COURT on the day of her abduction, but Mr. Brouthers’ attorney, Mr, F. M. Estes, asked for a stay of proceed ings untli the girl could be brought into court. This was refused and the merits of the dase were taken under ad- visement by Judge Woerner. He finally de- cided that Mr. Brouthers should be appointed ner legal guardian. Mr. Joseph G. „ as attorney for Mr. Taylor, at once filed notice of an appeal, which was kept dragging on in the courts for over two weeks. Every effort was made tofind thegiri. De- tectives were consulted and the police re- quested to ald in the search. Newspa - orters, lawyers, etc., all turned ou ook or her, but it was impossible for any person to tell where she could be found, except those who abducted her and took her away. Thursday Mr. Brouthers filed a bond of $8,000 as guardian of the child. but no child could be found, A trace was fond of her at the house of the Good Shepherd, at Seventeenth and Pine streets, where she remaineda day. From there she was taken, no one knew where, except those who had her in their charge. Since then she has been in the custody of friends of Mr. Tay- lor and will be produced in court to-morrow. CHARLES SPINE was seen last evening by a POsSt-DISPATCH re- porter, but was very reluctant to make any statement for publication. however, that the the girl away, I don’t admit that I took the girl away, were asked by Allie Jackman to take hér away from Mr. Brouthers. She said that she was compelled todo washing tor out- side people and ate with the servants, except two meals which she ate with Mrs. Brouthers. The girl wanted to go away, and when the parties who took her away went ufter her she tried to kiss one of them. She has asked and begged to be permitted to come and live with me but I cannot let her, as it would be too much trouble for my wife. There can be no charge of abduction brought against me, as the girl went perfectiy willing, and, in fact, requested to be taken away from there. The girt will be produced in court at the proper time, when everything will be given tothe public. The tri is perfectly safe and in good hands, and there is no coercion exercised in keeping her where she is. NEARING AN END. The Striking Cuban Cigarmakers Shorn of Their Last Weapen.

His wife, whom be affectionately bids farewell every time he ascends the lofty tower, end who witnessed the accident, was frantic with grief. At the rooms two physicians examined Peynaud and found that besides suffering from a concussion of the spine the lower extremities were benumbed and without strength, and it required con- stant exercise to prevent more decided con- traction. Peynaud said that he could not tell exactly howit happened. He became dizzy and lost copsciousness instantly upon strik- ing the net. He attributes the accident to the damp atmosphere. The unfortunate athiete was very seriously affected, being threatened with permanent paralysis of the lower limbs from the hips down. The fool-hardy acrobat has made his last leap.

ATTORNEY COHiCK’S DEPOSITION, It is Taken in the Case of Mrs. Eliza Fry Against Dr. W. P. Hill. The taking of depositions before Commis- sioner Davis, yesterday afternoon, in the suit of Mrs. Eliza Fry against Dr. William Preston Hill, son and executor of Britton A. Hill, de- ovased, lasted several hours, but failed to develop anything startling the way of testimony. Mrs. Fry seeks to recover $80 , 000 damages from the estate of Britton A. Hill because sbe claims that by his advice she was induced to transfer 2,560 acres ofland owned by her in Jefferson County, Kan., belng part of what is Known as the half-breed Indian lands, to W. W. Nevison, an attorney of Lawrence, Kan., whom she alleges defrauded her out of them. Attorney W. W Cehick, who was formerly in Britton A. Hill’s office, was the only witnese examined, the defense endeavoring to bring out through Mm that he and a lawyer named Jackson were really the plaintiffs in the case and not Mrs. Fry, she had oon ferred on them power of attorney to recover the land and take such action as they deemed necessary in the prem- jses. Cohick testified that be. first met Mrs. Fry atthe office of Britton A. Hill on Third and Pine streets. He could not state posi- tively, but he thought that in either 1854 or 1885, in the month of June, he first met ner. It was shortly after he entered Britton A. Hill’s office and began the practice of law. The witness admitted having had a conversation with Mrs. Fry in regard to what was known as the half- breed Indian lands in Jefferson County, Kansas. His counsel objected to the examination ofthe witness on this point, as it was irrele- vant, he claimed, and he also said that Mr. Cohick might be her attorney. The witness was asked whether he was Mrs. Fry’s attor- ney, and he replied that he was. He had been employed by her in the case probubly a month before the filing of the petition, which was dated September 18, 1889. She had frequently consulted bim about . employing him as ber attorney both while he was in the office of Britton A. Hill and after- ward. About a month or two after he entered Mr. Hill's office he first heard Mrr. Fry speak ofthe lands. In the summer of 1888, three or four monthe prior to Mr. Hill’s death, she first consulted him as an attorney. He was not her attorney at that time, and her consul- tation with him was more inthe nature of n complaint. That conversation was proba- bly a preliminary step to employing him as her attorney. Mr. Cohick was shown a copy of the power of attorney granted him and Mr. Jackson by “Mrs. Fry io August of the present year, which was found on file at Oscaloosa, Kan., and he was asked if he was first employed lags attorney by Mrs. Fry when she anted him that power of attorney. He replied that it was at that time he was first employed by her. The witness was asked if he had ever over heard any conversation between Mr. Hill and Mrs. Fry and replied that he bad. He over- ard one between them a few months after e entered Mr. Hiil’s office. The conversa- tion did not refer to these Kansas lands di- rectly, though it may have referred to the lande incidentally, the income from the lands, or something of that sort. Mrs. Fry wanted some of the money received from the lands and complained about Mr. Hill be- ing siow in renee of them. The taking of the depositions will probably be resumed to-morrow. ; Purifyiug a City. rex the Posr-Disr Aron. Reapine, Pa., Nov. 30.— James Moorehead, Wililam G. Deys ber and Chas. E.

She quickly ro- sponded and Evans invited her to come up on the first train, look him over and marry if she liked hie style and credentials. She accepted his invitation, was pleased with him and they were married at once. Sedalia’s Horticultural Society. By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPpaTca.

HE third warrant has been issued for John Gilbert for pub- lishing lottery draw- ings, but how he * will fare when he comes to trial is a question. The shameful re- cord grows daily worse, and scarcely 4 an hour passes but some further evi- dence is found of = protection granted to lottery criminais. § Disgraceful proceed- fF ings in which the whole object seems to be to aid the of- fenders to escape are ; common. Evidence against convicted criminals is returned to them by order ofthe Court of Criminal Cor- rection. Offenders who have been proved guilty and sertenced to pay the penalty of their crimes are quietly released from jall, and the whole machinery of the court is pros- tituted to uses of the lottery venders. To ask why would be to puta delicate question, but still it is pertinent, proper to demand of pub- lic officials why such things can bein what has been named a court of justice, in an insti- tution the State has erected as a safeguard for the community against the criminals, not for the criminals againet the community. A HIDDEN HAND. Is it for votes that the lawbreakers are per- mitted to go unpunished? OR IS I HERE ANOTHER, A MORE POWERFUL AND DIRECT INFLUENCE WHICH ENABLE: THEO MONEY.MAK- ING RASCALS TO ESCAPE FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE LAW? Surely no officer indulges such men without areason, anditis not money that prompts violation of duty. There is sometbing behind it, something that would not look well if it was dragged into the light of day. Another shamefu! and inexplicable act which has just come to light is the release of Wm. Shaw, a negro who ran a policy game. On November 16 Detectives Haynes and Gocking arrested Shaw in his room on Twelfth and Carr streets. They found him with a complete policy outfit around him, his pool tickets, memoranda and ali and, they were taken tothe Four Oourts. On November 22 he was tried and conyicted. He had no defense he could make, no plea to offer except that he had dreamedof lucky numbers and was obeying the dream. He was convicted and fined $100 and costs. He failed to pay the fine and was committed to jail. MYSTERIOUSLY RELEASED. The shameful, disgraceful part of this record is that after he had served only three days HIS SENTENCE WAS COMMUTED BY JUDGE .CAMPBELL, who assigned no reason, gave no [cause, simply had an order quietly entered and transmitted to the Jailor, and since last Thursday, though every one thought Sbaw was serving out his time, he has been free and at large by order of Judge Campbell. Jallor Calahan was asked ift he knew any- thing about the causes that led to the release of Shaw and said all he knew was that he re- ceived notice to release Shaw as his sentence had been commuted. Clerk William IL. Fitzgerald was asked the same question, and all he knew was that he had been di- rected to enter the order. What was it that prompted Judge Camp- bell te commute the sentence? Ign’t lenity in such cases a mistake? These questions are very serious ones, and they need an answer. WHAT IS THE POWER? When a man is sent to jail for six months for some common offense the sentence is dt com- muted. Petitions for commutation are una- vailing, and 4 — mothers and begging fathers have to go home and dry their copious tears, for they must wait until their chiidren have served the full measure of their dis- grace. None ot the balm a pardon brings is oured into the wounds. But, if the offender ea lottery man ora policy operator, the Judge, without explanation, apparently of his own motion, commutesa sentence of six onths to three days. 15 „Lottery, Where does that word get its agic charm? 11 10 the open sesame“ to the doors of the court and the prison officials do not hesitate to violate their oaths and their duty. Officers who are sworn to enforce the laws and punish criminals prostitute their offices to the uses of criminals and dare to ask again for the votes of the people. Jadge Campbell owes it to. himself—he cer- tainly owes it to the people—to explain 1 when Shaw had been convicted and sentence to pay a fine, which, if not paid, would have kept hin in jail six months, he should be re. leased, after spending only three days behind the dars.

This. is the record of the ourt of Criminal Correction during the last eight months, and this not include the cases which had been brought prior to April 10 and run over the a included. Only those that have originated within that time. s it not a record to be ashamed of? ot one conviction until. the outrageous lenftence of the court was paraded before the pubiic, and then what? Three convictions have followed. Two ap- peals have been taken. The other convicted criminal sent to jailfor six months relieved after three days of imprisonment. A WARRANT POCKETED. But there are other departments where the abuses of office are cqually as dangeroustand smaller only because the abuse of judicial power is the greatest possible in this land. On November 20, eleven days ago, a warrant was issued against John Gilbert,the pseudo editor of a dally sheet, for publishing the drawings of a lottery. Before it was served 8 left town, but he returned on Novem- er 28. THAT WARRANT HAS NOT YET BEEN SERVED BY THE SHERITF. Deputy Sheriff Dan Ready has it in bis pocket and Is carrying it about with nim, but though he bes had dozens of opportunities to serve it Gilbert nas not vet been arrested. Can the criminals not only throttle the courts but Srighten all the other officers of the law out of doing their duty? The Deputy Sheriff has no right to withhold awarrant. Itis his business to serveit as soon as possible after it has been placed in his hands. It is the duty of Sheriff John Ponl- man to see that his deputies perform their duty without tear Or favor, reward or pope ofreward,’’ and both are negligent when the deputy pockets a warrant and fails to serve con- selling lottery tickets; ANOTHER WARRANT FOR GILBERT. Mr. Bernard Dierkes bas awakened out of his lethargic condition and now seems to re- alize that as a publie official he has a gry to perform. Mr. Dierkes yesterday notified Chief Hueb- ler to send up any further cases of publishing lottery dra wings that he had at hand and ,he would issue warrants. * Fortwo yearsa daily sheet has deen pub - lishing lottery advertisements, aud since the first warrant was issued for the psuedo editor it has been more brazen than ever in its disre- gard of the law. A filthy weekly whose so- called editor is now awaiting trial in two courte, has been guilty of another open offense. Upon receiv this notification from As- sistant Prose g Attorney Dierkes Chief Huebler sent up aBother copy of the alleged newspaper containing a lottery drawing, and a third warrant was issued. He has not yet been arrested. Will Deputy Sheriff Dan aeady pocket this one too? A THIRD MISTAKE. Gilbert has been guilty of too many flagrant violations of the law to be permitted to escape, but Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes has followed the same strange course in this case that he did in the other two. Gilbert has two guilty partners. One of them isthe President of the company and an office-holder. The other is the business man- ager and the one who made the contract with the representative of the lottery to publish — advertisements at a stipulated sum per ori me. ; Mr. Dierkes has issued the warrant for Gilbert, one of the guilty partners, and has again permitted the others to escape. Why should he not Insist upon the arrest of all three of the guilty men, and why pick out the one of all three who has the best chance of escaping? Mr. Dierkes has done only one-third of his 3 and he should not hesitate about doing tall. The objection to the information filed in the Court of Criminal Correction, which was im- peopersy admitted at the trial on Friday, will o argued to-morrow morning, and on Tues- day morning the second case of Edward A.

CARTHAGE, Mo., Nov. 30.— Thanksgiving week has been a busy one in this section in mining matters, and all operators were will ing to give thanks for the prosperous year they had enjoyed. It is timated that the fully 50 per cent, and it certain that those engaged in the enterprise throughout the whole of the districts are richer by many thousands of dollars than before. The bustie of city life is nearly equalled in the several camps of the county. Joplin is making rapid strides in the improvement of her business houses and sew- erage system. In Webb City and Oarterville, the substantial character of their new brick blocks tells of their increased wealth. In all other parts of the camps equal showing of prosperity is made. At Carthage it isacommon sight now tosee men draped in the garb of miners, whereas six months ago such a sight was novel. Atall the camps the output is re- ported very large, and, though winter is set- ting in, no signs of suspension are discerna- ble. Atthe Lamb Mines in this city all mines are being pushed.

Judge Longencker’s Arraignment of the Alleged Cronin Murderers. The Wife and Little Daughter of Detective Coughlin in Court, Bitter Denunciation of Kunze Enrageé the Prisoner Beyond Control—Coughlin Un- moved and Bourk Snecring and Defiant ~Patrick O’sullivan, the lee Man, De- _ mounced as Heartless and Cold- Blooded —Dramatic and Yet Dignified Perora- tien of the State’s Atterney—Sensa.- tional Scenes in Judge MoeConnell’s Court— The Opening Argument in Detail. By Telegraph to the POst-Disratcn. HICAGO, III., Nov. 80. — 4A pale-faced woman sat in the front row of spectators in Judge MoUon- nell’s court-room to-day. She wore a sorrowful, anx- ious look, and every few seconds fixed her gaze steadfastly upon the row of prison- ers charged with the murder of Dr. Cronin. On the woman’s lap sata é4-year-old girl, who gazed wonderingly at the scene and seemed to feel by ber unnatural quictness that she must not talk or laugh. The little girl was the daughter of Daniel Cougulin, and the woman was his unfortunate wife. It was the firat time that mother and child have sat among the spec- tators. Mrs. Coughlin HNetefed with wrapt attention to every word which flowed like a raging torrent from the lips of the earnest, fervid State’s Attorney. The words which the 7 poor woman heard con- r tained no drop ot com- fort or hope for her. They were words which were spoken for another pur-, pose, and that purpose was to convince the twelvemen in the jury- box that Danie! Cougblin committed u cold-blooded Judge Longenecker. murder, and should atone for the crime with his life. Whenever Judge Longenecker reached aclimaxin his story of the murder as shown by the evidence and launched forth his denunciations of the accused detective, the sad-faced woman in the front ros would look sympathetically at her husband, while the innocent child gazed with wide-open eyes towards her father, wondering, no doubt, what it all meant, and why he was sitting so far from her, and why he did not come home as he used to do before the 25th of May. OUTBURSTS OF ELOQUENCE. At the opening of his address Judge Longe- necker told the jury that he wanted to speak to them only and indulge in no flights of oratory. But towards the latter part of bis speech he was carried away by the intense earnestness which characterizes his utter- ances and held his audience spellbound by his eloquence and dramatic inspiration. Wie do not say that the secret Camp 2 committee tried Dr. Cronin or was appointed to try bim,“ exclaimed the orator. ‘‘They did not even go through the formality of a mock trial. They did not give the man a chance for his life. Try him? Oh! no. In the language of Senior GuardiagBegge the matter was ‘amicably settled. The speaker paid his respects to Forrest in these words: The learned counsel has more ‘I object,’ Walt a minute,’ and ‘Exceptions’ in the record than he has evidence for all his clients.’’ KUNZE WILD WITH ANGER. Jobn Kunze was the most susceptible of any ofthe prisoners. He could hardly restrain himself whea the State’s Attorney poured upon his head, with finger pointed toward him, ‘all the criminating facts brought out at the trial, and seasoned these circumstances with person- al anathemas. Kunze is just as much in the conspiracy by going into it at the eleventh hour asif he had been one of the conspirators from the first hour, cried the Judge, and then went on to remind the jury about Detective Coughlin. the little German being seen in the Clark street flat rented by Simonds. Kunze’s cheeks reddened furiously, bis eyes shot out an angry giance at his accuser and he started to his feet to make a reply to the burning words but Attorney Donahue pushed bim back with a few a words. The prisoner ceoled down but chewe a toothpick continually and acted as iftrying hard to suppress his feelings. The otber defendants settled in their chairs, axed vacant!y before them as if trying to oraetthe words which spoke of their guilt and connection with the crime. Not a word was exchanged between them as they sat all day with immovable faces refiecting nothing but cold-blooded indiffer- ence, assumed for the occasion. when the State’s attorney accused Kunze of help ing Burke to carry the furniture into the cottage the excitable little German shouted: „Thais a lle!“ The interruption went un- noticed by the speaker, ape the sensation it created soon subsided. ith a burst of elo- quence the speaker refuted the charge that men who exposed secrets of the Clan- na-Gael order were traitors in these words: „The noblest patriots of the Irish cause to- day are those men who came here, took the witness stand and told the whole truth. COUGHLIN AND BOURKE... There was no trace of yesterday’s anxiety and agitation to be seen on Coughlin’s face. He knew that if the prosecution made any more providential discoveries they could not be used in evidenee against him. He knew that the case was finally closed and he would bang or go free on what the jury had heard. He felt relieved and unconcerned.

But Providence ordained that some one besides the murderers should see und hear the last acts this terrible tragedy. if the doctor was notdriven to the Carlson cottage and killed there tell me 3 of his life stands above us to-day to see that jus- tice is directed aright and the men who took the life of a fellow creature should atone, for their terrible crime. O'SULLIVAN ARRAIGNED. „Patrick O' Sulltvan, with his cold and chilly heart, sat like a block of stone in his house when he knew that Dr. Cronin had been be- trayed to his death by means of a card, print- ed by the iceman, only admitting his contract — fearing not the consequences at that time. Daniel Coughlin, the cold-blooded, heart- less wrétch, almost stood on the edge of the catch basin where laid the body of his victim, when sent out by his superior officer to help in the search for the man he had murdered a few days before. Lawyer Donahue objected tothe use of the words ‘‘’eold-blooded, heartless wretoh,’’ whereupon the State’s Attorney added vehe- mently: „lam speaking from the evidence only and that shows he is a ‘cold-blooded, heartless wretch.’ whose hands are dyed red with the life- blood of Dr. Cronin.’’ A DRAMATIC PERORATION. The Judge’s peroration was dignified and dramatic, at times rising to the standard of brilliant oratory. Pointing successively at each of the prisoners, who sat with fixed countenances, the State’s Attorney exciaimed: It you desire to write a history of this crime write thus: ‘I contract for a cottage— Martin Bourk.’ ‘I Con- tract for a horse and buggy for my friend Smith—Daniei Coughlin.’ ‘I eontract for medical services—Patrick O’Sul- livan.’ Sign this, Com- mittee of Three.’ Then write again, ‘I contract for a cottage to kill you “in—Bourk.’ ‘I contract for a horse and buggy to drive you to your death —Coughliin.’ ‘I contract for your life—O’Sulll- van,’ and lastiy the com- mittee reports to the Patrick O' Sullivan. Senior Guardian alone as.’ The officers of the law who should have heid up my hands to ferret out thése murderers were divided against me. Men who draw their salaries from the city for upholding the law stood in league with the men who struck out the lite of Dr. Cronin. If these five men are to hang upon the scaffold, they cannot claim that they had no time to call upon the Holy Trinity, though they gave no time to their victim ex- cept to cry out, My God, Jesus. Judge ing counsel for Dan Coughlin, began his dress by impressing upon the 7 minds the danger of confounding direct and circumstantial evidenoe, and outlining as acase in point the celebrated Hull murder in New York City, afew years ago. The lawyer had not warmed up to bis speech when court adjourned. i The Argument in Detail. CuHIcaGO, Nov. 30.—Judge Longenecker re- sumed his address to the jury in the Cronin case this morning. He took up the incidents of the meeting of Olan-na-Gael camps at the reunion February 22 and reviewed the remarks made at that meet by Pat MoGarry to show that the members the clan w that time ing in bitter t m apd recrimination, the _— Martin Bourk. Mr. 8 pretended to ring te Ss MeG — speech, ry ad ed the triangle in the . ~na-Gael. He had said that the em the fonds of the ‘There is a spy here to succeed Le Caron, and we have u pretty straight that it is Dr, Cro- bin.’ And this was on March 1. The evidence showed that the conspiracy began in Camp 20, February 8, when the motion to appoint the secret committee was made by Dan Uough- Un. MOTIVE FOR THE nm. The Attorney General dwelt for some time on showing the motive that actuated the con- spirators to commit the crime and told again how the murdered physician had openly charged the Tridngiec with misappro- priating the funds of the order and for the purpose of covering the theft of the Triangle, claiming the deficiency had been expended in dangerous K a ad, when on the con- trary the money had gone no farther than the wets of the Tri and the dupes who had been sent — bea been “aeity to the English government and were now lan- guishing in foreign jails. After touching again on the appointment of the Secret Commi , which Senior guardian Beggs had subsequentiy informed the camp would report to him alone, the State’sAttorney read the law on conspiracy and then took up the purchasing of the furniture and the leas- ing of the flat at 117 South Clark street and of — having being seen there by the witness ames. The leasing of the Ourleon cottage next claimed the attention of the State’s Attorney. „Why. he cried, pointing to Bourk, hy, if Bourk rented that cottage for him- selfand sister, did he use the name of WII- liams?’’ The speaker could find no answer that showed a legitimate use. He then referred to Kunze having helped Bourk carry the furniture into the cottage. Judge Longe- necker followed the course of the conspiracy step by step, picking up thread, unravelling it with skill and then wound it about the five suspects, binding them altogether. Why was it thatthe cottage of the Carl- sons was rented?’’ demanded the speaker. Because, he answered, it was known that the Carlson’s were in the habit of going to bed early, were sound sleepers, not likely to hear what was going on and even should the hear they were of unsuspecting natures an would pay no attention to it. And how did the murderers know this? Who told them? Why, Patrick O’ Sullivan, the next door neigh- bor of the Carisons.’’ He called attention to Coughlin having de- nounced Cronin as a North Side Catholic, who was unworthy of being connected with the Irish cause, and to the detective seeking the services of ‘‘Major’’ Sampson to ‘‘do up’’ the d r. * * * „ And then the counsel for the defense sought to throw discredit on such evidence by revealing the criminal! character of Sampson, the speaker continued. Ot course his character was off color. Had it not been would Coughlin have believed Sam n capable of ‘doing up’ the doctor. Is it likely Coughlin wanted a deacon of a church, or a reputable man to do his dirty worg?—hardly!’’ HE BLOOD-STAINED TRUNE. Judge ngenecker, continuing his argu- ment this afternoon, said: „What more evidence do you want that the trunk found in the ditch was the one that was taken to the cottage? In the catch-basin in which the body was found was cotton, and cotton was in the trunk. In the trunk there and biood, and has ® shown that the hair were from ahuman body. Aman was put on the stand who swore that he could not tell human blood and hajr from any other. Do you, I ask, do you believe that the blood and hair were from adog or a guinea pig, or from an living thing excepta human being? The h and blood Delon to Dr. Cronin. You cer - tainly do not believe that any dog or lower animal was killed in the ¢o e? Had such been so, why was the floor pain to covér up the blood of a dag or animal? I shall not take up your time to argue such a theory. THE MEN WHO DID THE DEED. Now whatof the men who did this deed? return. I have no doubt that Beggs airmly — that the body would never be dis- covered.’’ The State’s Attorney then showed inti- macy that existed 4 — Cough d Kunze. The * — my best to present the case to you. Ileave the matter in your hands, gentiemen. I have had the case on my hands for months, Officers of the law have been against me, but the mountain of evidence has piled — coer the prisoners at the bar, an 1 trust that you will do ur duty.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTCH. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 80.—Judge Henry to-day handed down a decision in the cele- brated case of Ann McDonough against Nan- nie M. Baumgart, which has been in the courts of this county nearly five years. Mrs. McDonough is the wife of ex-Chief of Police McDonough of St. Louls. In the 50’s Mrs. McDonough, nee Owen, married Hezekiah Harrison. A few years after their marriage Harrison went to nver in search of gold. It was afterwards reported that he was massacred by the Indians. then married McDonough. wards Mrs. McDonough tract of land in this city James Eaton for $10,000, which is now valued 232 000.

Ms. Lynn Linton, the Noted Novelist, Writes About Strange Ti raments eo wees oY The Shattering of Our Idols The Images of the Superstitious—Jealous People WeAre What We Are. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DrIspaTcu.| MONG the subtle dit- ferences which shade offhuman qualities is that whick divides in- tellect from character, and divorces thought from action. Super- ficial reasoners won- der—and blame—when the two do not har- monize together— when the character belies the intellect, and intellectual conceptions have no force over the action springing from temperament and character. They say that one who sees such and such a course to be the wisest ought to follow it; as if theory and practice, intellect and tem- perament was identical. They forget that ‘pathetic cry, The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak.’’ They forget that other mournful, but so intensely human, admission, „For that which I do, lallow not; for that I would, that da I not; but what I hate, that I do.’’ They hold that knowing should be the Same as doing, and that spiritual insight should ever control temperamental action. So it would if we were all under the sway of reason, and had attained perfect self- mastery ; but however clearly we may see the better thing to do—the wiser way of restralnt—with most of us the temperament conquers the intellect, and characteris more potent than theory, as the shaper of our lives and the director of our actions. We often say we wish we could return to life with our present txperiences—what a much better thing we should make of it! Yes, in certain specific actions of which we now know the practical ultimate. But just as we repeat the same class of action with different protag- onists, so long as the impelling temperament remains unchanged, so, in spite of experi- ence, should we repeat our lives in their main directions, if we had the same character as now. Take, as an example, the evil of that uneasy trust which belongs to a sanguine tem- perament and a character made up of affec- tion, unselfishness, sincerity and imagina- tion. Such a character is foredoomed to such and sucha course of action, as a bird is made for fiying in the air, oracrab for walking sideways. THE BURNT CHILD may dread the fire, but the person with whom affectionateness and imagination, impulse and sincerity act and react on each other, never learns caution—is never taught distrust or the wisdom of waiting and proving before giving, and never will be while the exciting causes remain. Past experience is like those waves which Ever mark, though they never impress The light sand which paves thein, consciousness. One idol after another is shattered ; but there is always that other standing in the place of the one which has fallen. The loving beart most love; and if not here then it wonders there, like those roots which travel far under- ground, seeking their proper soil beyond the arren tracts of stones and slate. A has proven false to his trusts; B has gone over to the hated rival; C has trained off from love into indifference; D has proved but a windbag without one grain of solidity to weigh his airy pretensions; but E will be the ideal so long sought and at last found. No previous experience modifies the great doctrine of chances. In the lottery of life, a hundred blanks do not destroy the pos- sibility ofa prize on the hundred and first draw. There are prizes inthe big lucky-bag of fortune—why may I not find one as well as my neighbor? So the trustful reason, con- sciously or unconsciously; and they dip their hands again and again into the bag which may hold a serpent to sting or arose to adorn; adiadem to crown or a whip to scourge. Conversely the suspicious temperament is never taught trust. All past experience in the truth and fidelity of one has no in- fluence in teaching belief in another. That crooked line can never be ruled straigh in the mind which is always looking around corners —the suspicious by temperament can never act like the trustful and affectionate. The prosaic lessons of life, the harder biows of ex- perience, show the facile lover the wisdom of reserve, reticence, doubt, prudence and, —ubove all—proof, before staking reputation on AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY. Those lessons are learnt by the mind, as one learns the alphabet or multiplication table; but they are inoperative guides of feeling or rules of conduct. The higher law of noble ness and love whispers to the suspicious sweet words of human trust, far more sub- iime than its rasping, narrow-eyed doubt; but itis in vain. 10 the last the crooked line meanders through the straighter web, and temperament conquers the experience born of such a one’s devotion, such another's fidelity, aswell as the purer impulse roused by the nobler word. Take, too, a person temperamentally timid and given up to superstitious fancies. How much does reason help here in the victory of mind over character, intellect over phantasy? The wind which howls through the trees at night appals the listener with its terrifying sounds something as ghostly, weird and fore- telling coming disaster. The hooting of the owls in the ivy presagés sorrow, iliness, death. The scampering of the mice behind the wainscot shake those quivering nerves . more than the roar ofa lion shakes the nerves ofan ordinarily brave man, watching over his sleeping companions by the camp- fire in an African forest. The burglar is always under the bed; the Un- known Terror is always in the cupboard; the dead presence of an unseen specter hovers in the air like a bodily visitant; fears incho- ate, inarticulate, vague, but nore the less real, invade the mind which is overmastered by temperament; and the night is a time of terror always repeated. Allthis is tempera- mentand conditional, In the daytime the fears which disturb the dark hours are laughed at—seen in their true light as mere bugbears and self-made phantoms. When the evening has waned and the night has fully come the temperamentto which silence and darkness are antagonistic forgets all the brav est teachings of the sunshine and the intelli- gence aud gives way to THE OLD FOOLISH TERRORS as it they had never been 1 by exper- fence. There are many to wm night ie an ever recurring time of fear. They are like the 111 =| ope inthe Persian tale whom every nightTfhe old hag belabored with her cruteh—and this hag is terror—terror born of temperament and disowned by indestructable, however hard the biows dealt it by reason, common sense and experience. So we may suy of fear all through: the fear of the mother who loses herself possession be- cause the nurse isten minutes behind her usual time of returning; the fear of the friend to whom every railway journey is emphatically the careering of so thany iost souls on the edges of their own graves;’’ the fear of those who stay at home for those who wander abroud—those who are sheltered from all danger to temptation for those who have to affront the ordinary periis of life—all these are fears which spring from the temperament only. The sanguine and the hopeful, the un- imaginative and those who have let them- ecives learn of life through experience know nothing of them. What amount of intellectual reasoning touches our self-made tortures of jealousy? The passion is temperamental, and the ey!- dences are as thick as motes in the sunbeam. All temperamental evidences are whatever names we givethbem. The mind is influenced and happiness is destroyed by this passion, over which reason and common sense have no more control than a couple of obildren over runaway horse. Where was she when Post sight of her atthe ball last night? Young Assman had been paying her more at- tention than I liked.

The di- rections for sending ont the postals notify- ing the members of the meeting were not given, and consequently the attendance was small. A few assembled and discussed the situation. A letter from Washington was read detailing the efforte of the Cnicago con- tingent to influence Southern and South- western votes in favor of that city by repre- senting that Chicago was a Democratic city, while St. Louis had added three Congressmen to the Republican side of the House of Repre- sentatives. This argument, the letter stated, was met my saying thatin the contest for the World’s Fair no partisan considerations should enter, but if those were drawn into the feld by Chicago, that the friends of St. Louis could point to the fact that it was a Republican . city in a Democratic State, and that ite Mayor was now Demo- ogatic, while its Municipal Assembly was Ro- ubiican. A large number of the delegates to ashington will leave to-day or to-morrow. The subscriptions are coming in rapidly, as the following list shows.

Des Mornes, Io., Nov. 80,—The city of La- porte was thrown into a state of white heat of excitement Thursday over a proposed foot race. Since Mr. O. A. Dodson, lowa’s most 9 tea! amateur sprinter, closed his season e has been besieged with challenges for a race, and was induced to enter into a $800 con- test with 4. ©. Dallas of Eagle Grove, whose time is 10 4-6 seconds. Over 2,000 people was present to witness the contest, and the presence ofa large namber of —— were noticeable. The runner came forward and was immediately | as the profess- ional Johnson, the world-beater of 1836. Dodson challenged the man and a hot dispute resuited. A. V. Everts, Dodaon’s trainer, of- fered to put up $100 that the man brought for- ward was not Dallas. To this there were no takers. The proposition was then made that the race go on and if Dallas won he was to prove his identity before receiving the money and also receive a bonus of $50. This failed to suit and the race was declared off. Later developments proved that a gang of seven professional sprinters sre around doing the towns and roping in amateur money. fter so successful a season Dodson still stands first and can find thousands of backers against any amateur in the State, Carondelet Jottings. Mr. Jon Cummings leaves for Fiorida this evening. The Liberty Club gave a social hop last éven- ing on South Broadway. The South End Improvement . Association will be organized to-morrow evening.

Bensiek Takes the Contract to Bury the Unknown Dead of the City—It Is in Opposition to the Spirit of the Laws —An Arrangement of Mutual Benefit Between the Coroner and the Council- HERE is a section in the olty charter which \ provides for the , qualifications of the members of the Mu- nicipal Assembly and with which provisions the different members 3 ot the Assembly are ue supposed to be famil- _—— — Mr. John O. = BRensiek of the City Council is now the — subject of discussion at the City Hall in connection with this poction. : N The particular section which Mr. Bensiek floes not seem to know abous is sec 6, art 3. which says: „„In addition to the other qualifications E ot ka: tusioipal Aseombly a — ohe following: He shall rectly or indirectly interested in any or * oat be indebted to the State of any tax. * 3 oe. ? . 7 ieee is now —_— — — and a Republican politician of considerable popularity. Through the power ot his posi- tion in politics and as a member of the Coun- cil, he has obtained from Coroner Frank the business of burying the pauper dead and doing other jobs in connection with the Coro- ner’s department and the Morgue. The way Mr. Bensiek happened to get this work was through the downfall of Ohris Schawacker. It will be remembered that Chris Schawacker some time ago was serious- ly compiained of by a numberof people be- cause he had acquired a habit of seizing bodies, and when relatives turned up and de- sired to have the burial put into the hands of other undertakers. Schawacker claimed that he simply acted with promptness. That when a case was reported he did not investigate but took charge of the body. 3 Otten he changed from public undertaker to private and took charge of the funeral. Th system he adopted because the puplic busi- nese which fell into his hands ' WOULD NOT PAY his horse feed as he was burying paupers for next to nothing. Schawacker’s conduct was not satisfactory to the Coroner, however, The Coroner cast around for another under- taker to the work of carting off the pau- er dead an hauling floaters from the river „ In the array of undertakers d none which suited him so well mber of the upper legislative body of the city, so he selec him. ‘ Now, ur. Bensiek is a contractor under a A of a and is directly inter- ested in contract. The work Mr. Bensiek has to do now is described by an a coroner as follows: ‘‘The undertaker w that job don’t make any money out of the work he does for the city, but it ie on the privileges he makes up the d nee.

He takes the body in his 1 and brings it to the Morgue untſi the Coroner has made his in- quest, then THE CITY UNDERTAKER ete the burial certificates and holds on to hem like grim death. Then if in any event the friends or relatives of the dead ron want to have another undertaker ury the body they have the city undertaker to deal with. The family undertaker comes along and says that the family have sent him to take charge of the funeral. The city un- dertaker says no, it can’t be done, and then it generally ends by the city undertaker charg- ing a good round sum for services he bas already performed. Th again the city undertaker gets first chance at all funerals of persons who bave met sudden and violent deaths. He is notified immediately and, of course, is the first to get hold of the body,and it is well known that when an undertaker wets & body it is hard to take it away from him. The oe Depany Coroner concluded by inti- mating very pointedly that to make the thing pay the City Undertaker had to resort to methods which do not meet the approval of other undertakers. The manner in which matters are arranged between MR. BENSIEK AND THE CORONER is such that there is no specifie contract be- tween the city and the undertaker, yet there Stets a nominal contract and a verbal agree- ment, which amounts to the same thing, and the failure to execute a written ment in due form does not make it any less a contract inthe opinion of Mr. Bensiek’s Democratic friends at the City Hall. Some years ago the city did let out the con- tracts In regular form, getting bids from the different undertakers in the city and award- ing the contract to the lowest bidder. Finally t 92 got so low that when the contract expired the city found it would be cheaper to let the same man goon withthe work at the same price without rag ety age and so it was . Since that @ no regular con- tracts have been let, and the Coroner has been left to settie the matter as he pleases and make arrangements with whoever he could get to hang 14 ' 1 5 x Mee n . ae & ~ 2 on which the Councilman’s critics ng complaint is that as Councilman Mr. | THE PETTUS TRAGEDY.

The speech before the club recently by Hon, Wm. u. Fishback of Fort Smith on the tariff and kindred issues has had the effect of arousing additional interest in the subjects discussed here and throughout the State, and will un- doubtedly bear fruit in the way of bringing more and more of the laboring masses into the Democratic fold. THE TARIFF QUESTION. The tariff question will probably enter more largely into the next State canvass than ever before, though, of course, local issues will en- gage their full share of attention. In the last State canvass the Democratic gubernatorial candidates, with the exception of Hon. W. M. Fishback, touched the tariff very lightly, con- fining themselvesfor the most part to per- sonal thrusts at each other. The next con- vass will be conducted on a different plan, and discussion of topics of general interest. The efforts making by afew Democratic and Re- publican papers to fan the dying embers of the issues of a past decade into a flame is meet- ing little popular encouragement. over. Theage is progressive. Sensible men feel that the great political questions of the the eras of reconstruction or Ku- Klux. most sagacious Democrats in the State are aware that nothing can be gained by fighting over dead issues. The next campaign in this state, sofar asthe Democratic party is con- cerned, will, therefore, be fought and won on questions which are of State and national in terest, and which address themselves directly to the present and rising generations. The opinion is expressed very generally among Democrats here that it is not too early to begin preliminary work, particularly if the party expects to elect the ticket by a majority in excess of that of the last gubernatorial election. Much can be done in organizing the party in each county in the State, and getting the members in good working shape. This is aiready in progress in many counties, and will result in the polling of a full vote. FUIURE POSSIBILITIES. ean parties is a matter of conjecture. It is thought the latter will nominate a full State ticket in order to make a show of party strength and organization and thus im the federal admidistration in the event of the election of a Republican President in 1892. The Union Labor party may also put out can- dinates. Either party, when running separate tickets, are not very important factors in the politics of the State. United they become somewhatformidable. It is barely possible that a union may be effected between them in to- eat - the- Democracy. THE ZINC MINES.

When the Rock Island bullt into Kansas two yearsago it received aid from every county through which it was built, and many cities and townships also voted it bonds. Nearly $3,000,000 in municipal bonds was voted by these counties, townships and cities to encourage the Rock Island ex- tension iuto Kansas, and in return for this aid the company issued its stock to the various municipalities in amounts equal to the bonds voted. The Metropolitan Trust Co., which is trustee forthe bondholders, claims now that the railroad company is unable to pay interest on the C., K. & N. bonds and asks that the road be foreclosed. It is claimed by the municipal stockholders that this is a scheme to freeze them out, for if the road is fore- closed their $3,000,000 of stock becemes worth- less. Representatives of all the municipali- ties interested met here this week and formed an alliance. A large fund was subscribed for the purpose of going into the courts to re- sist the foreclosure. They hage flled a pe- tition in the United States Circuit Court, in which they deciare that prior to 1884 the Chi- ago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway was bound by an agreement with certain rival lines not to build west of the Missouri river. THE AGREEMENT BROKEN. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy broke the agreement by building into Nebraska, and the Rock Island ut once began the construction of lines into Kansas under the name of the Chi- cago, Kansas & Nebraska, and other auxiliary lines that were at all times under the control of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific. Upon surveying and locating the new lines it caused to be issued all their capital stock in solid blocks and caused it to be transferred in solid blocks to itself, save what went to counties, town- ships and cities voting ald. On March 31, 1889, the pretended capital stock of the Chi- cago, Kansas & Nebraska Railway was $27,687,900, of which the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific claimed to own $25,150,000. The road made large profits, and asnotrueor just ac- counting had been made andthe Rock Island took all but 30 per cent of the earnings there was not enough left to pay operating expenses and interest on the $25,149,000 which had been borrowed from the Metropolitan Trust Co. to pay for the construction of the Chicago, Kan- sas & Nebraska. The sum of $25,149,000, bor- rowed to pay for the construction of the road, the complainants say, was grossly excessive. Asale at foreclosure would necessarily de- prive all smaller stockholders of their in- terest in the road. They claim thatthe earning capacity of the road is suflicientto pay interest and all op- erating expenses. The petitioners demand a just accounting with reference to the receipts of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska for tolls, rents and profits; they also demand the can- cellation of the, present pretended lease by which the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska is op- erated by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, and the formation of a lease, if necessary, by which the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska will be enabled to receive a fair sum for rental sufiici- client to pay existing indebtedness and inter- eston its bonds, thus preventing a foreclosure sale.

Labor Commissioner Betton has been mak- ing an investigation into the aims and objects of the various labor or- ganizations of Kansas, The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers report eighteen lodges, the Locomotive Firemen have twenty-six, the Cigarmakers four and the Typographical Union seven. In addition to these are re- narted eight from the Brotherhood of Rall- 3a Brakemen, Brotherhood of Carpenters Association of Stationary En- Union, th- Miners’ Union, Iron Bes, Union, Printing Press- ns Union, Stonecutter’s Union, Brother- bod of Railroad Switchmen, waking a total 116 unions divided among these crafts. Mis shows a wonderful increase, and leads Commissioner Betton to say: ‘‘The organiza- tion of wage-earners is apparently proceeding upon strictly trades union lines. Thus, while * the Knights of Labor, with their broad and general platform of principles, referring more to legislation than industry, have not increased their membership in Kansas, the various craft nizations and the farmers have pushed into every part of the commonwealth, so that nearly every industry in the State has its rep- From the tables which the commissioner has just compiled it ie found that out of forty-four trades unions reporting fifteen report that work was more ntifalin their trade this year than last; wenty-six report the reverse, and in four there was no change.

For this land the Cherokees were paid 70 cents an acre from the prcceeds of the sale of the Osage reservation. Since that time t Osages have been occupying the lands, they have never been given any title to it. It is to attain this object that the chiefs who passed through the city are visiting Talequah. A CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE. The latest candidate for Congres from this State is Col. J. R. Hallowell of Wichita, who ennounces that he will be a candidate in the Seventh District against Congressman Peters, who has represented that district for ten years. Col. Hallowell was at one time United States Distfict Attorney of Kansas and is one of the best campaign orators in the Slate. He is considered a formidable candidate, It is probable that others will be in the field before many weeks. tohison ca SPECIAL TRAIN.

The county seat war has been renewed in Wallace County. To-day Attorney-General Kellogg commenced quo warranto proceed- ings in the Supreme Court to oust ail the present County officers. He alleges that they are not the legally elected officers, that they organized the canvassing board, took pos- session of the Court-house, public offices and records and by force of arms, intimidation and threats drove out the legally eleeted of- ficers of the County and by means of fortifiea- tions, created by the defendants, and the use of Winchester® rifles and other firearms held, and are now .- Rold- ing, the offices, and 1 the duties thoreof by force, violence, intimida- tion and fraud, thereby making it impossible for the County Commissioners to meet and canvas the returns or issue certificates to #h officers elected.

Only three herds are now held in quarantine, one in Franklin County, one in Cherokee County and another at Kiowa, all of which are Texas and Indian Territory cattle. The Commissioner received a report from the inspector at Kansas City to the effect that about seventy thousand head of stockers and feeders have been shipped out of Kansas City markets during the past year to Kansas cattlemen for the purpose of fattening. A HEAVY MORTGAGE. A fhortgage for $150,000,000, payable in 100 years at 5 per cent interest, was filed here to- day.

The limitis $5,000 a mile on track,including all real estate, shops, engines, cars, etc., owned by the rail. way. The plan of reorganization was also filea in conjunction with the mortgage. The Question of Resubmission. WicHiTa, Nov. 30.—The anti-resubmission meeting of Wednesday night has been referred to quite extensively by papers in the State and especially in the Southwest. It had been given out that at the meeting ao anti-resubmission club would be organized, but at the meeting there ap- peared only about fifty of anti-resubmission tendencies with about six hundred wf the opposition. The speeches were made and resolutions read, but not a word said by the lesders about orgavizingaclub. Some ofthe resubs would cry out pass the enrollment sheet, but the leaders were just a little too smart to allow their strength to appearon paper. The character of the speeches seems to have attractea most attention. Col. Lewis, first speaker, Chairman of Police Board, spoke in uncomplimentary terms of the prohibse for gambling, about the law not being enforced and atthe same time not helning to enforce it. He said there were enemies shooting at the board in the rear, and he had far more respect for the enemy in front than the enemy at his back. M. E. Stanley, another member of the board, said there was not a man present who had ever assisted him in trying to enforce thg law, and many of them had grumbled and atcused them of boodle, out given no help, and their accusations were by far more hurtful than if they came from the avowed enemy. The new Assistant Attorney-General, H. F. Coffin, said he intended to enforce the law if possibie. ‘‘I willdo my duty if every man in the Stateis against me,’’ he said, and at this period a voice, ‘‘At$25acount.’’ This caused a general uproar, whooping and yelling. „es, Imean to get some money out of it, by way of answer. His speech consisted in dealing with personal matters, and on reach- ing the point, ‘‘Any attorney in the city would have accepted the osition of Assistant Attorney-General had it been offered them,’’ there was much hissing and one yelled, What egotism.’’ The speeches made, each and all dealt with personal matters, and resolutions presented simply praised the State Administration for appointing Police Commissioners and At torney Generals. The anti-resubs voted for them and the other fellows voted ‘‘no,’’ and the negative had it 12 to 1. but the chair de- clared the resolutions carried. They claim since the meeting that they intend atan early date to organize a club. ‘ The Republican Resubmission Club now has over 1.880 members and more being added every day. They have as President, Geo. H. Blochmolder; Secretary, M. D. McCormick, and an Executive Committee, which is cor - responding with similar organizations else - where in the State and trying to bring organ- ization out of chaos. It is suggested by the committee here to commence work, at an early date, organizing in all counties in the State. Having strength they will proceed to find out in what direction it can be applied most effectively. TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION. The Southwestern Teachers’ Association ad - journed this evening after a session of three days. It was the third annual session and attended by nearly double the number of any other. Thera were enrolled 210 members present. The enrollment of the Northwestern Association, beld at Concordia, adjourning last night, was ninety-eight, which was also the largest ever held by that associatiou,. One of the features of the meeting was a lec. Prof. Jas. H. Canfield of the State niversity on The State and Education, in which he took the position that all schools--the puvlic schools, colleges and universities should admit pupils and students of all colors. He took the position that the State 1e founded on society and society the result of the education of the people, and that the community is composed of all racea and colors and should be educated together. The position when announced was not responded to with applause. He very clearly referred to the question of the day ia in Kansas by saying: „Some questions may be resubmitted to the people in Kansas, but the matter of maintaining schools never. This called for considerabie applause, Tune audience was made up of people from Wichita and Southwestern Kansas. A prize of $25 was offered to county having the largest delegation present, ‘It won by Camby Counts who had seventy teachers enrolled for duty. * ¥ AND and ture b -one a * 5 74 * Se * * 22 R 8 4 * 2 * — .

ATCHISON, Kan., Nov. 30.—The Northeast en Kansas Grainmen’s Association, an organiza- | tion for the protection of grain dealers, held a regular quarterly meeting at the Byram this afternoon. The territory extends as far west as Concordia and the association was repre- sented at the meeting to-day by about thirty members. One of the objects of the meeting was to take some action in regard to the furnishing of box-cars by the railroads, and to use the influence of the association to secure better sefvice in this particular, The meeting ap- peared to have another and more important object, but as it was held with closed doors it could not be learned. No Atchison grain men were in attendance, and the meeting was en- rye a by Edson Grezz and E. H. Morse, St. oe grain men. WHISKY INSURRECTION. Atchison is about to getadose of ‘‘whisky been going on in Leavenworth ever since the appointment of a police commissioner there. Atchison has only had police commission since April last. Before that the Mayor had police control of the city. When the police commissioners came they at once appointed their own City Marshal and policemen, an: the joints, which were quite numerous, were compelled to pay monthly fines. The law re- quires that all surplus police collections shall be turned over to the city for general city purposes. The commissioners made one payment of $800 to the city, but have since withheld all surplus money. They have now about $3,500 on hand, which they decline to give to the city on the ground that they have an expense of about $1,000 a month to pay for the support of their department, and they want to keepasurpluson hand to meet any emergency. The guurrel for this surplus has become almost an open rupture between tne municipal governmeht and the police department. The question has been a subject of newspaper comment, but the fact that the joints were levied upon every month was not published unti last week, when in an in- terview with the Omaha Republican Mayor Wagnener in exprossing his opinion of prohi- bition and its eviis stated the situation in Atchison. The interview was published in the local papers, and last night the Commission- ers retaliated hy ordering Marshal Tafte to close every joint in town and place all the @lubs under police surveillance s0 as to get evidence against them also. In addi- tion to this quarrel between the two depart- ments ofthe Government and the loss ofa very valuable revenue it is generally under- stood that the extreme Prohbibitionists have petitioned the Attorney General of the State to appoint an assistant for Atchison, whose duty and profit will be to make indiscriminate war on whisky men and thus involve the cuunty in untold expeuse. The Parsons Slip- Works. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. PARSONS, Kan., Nov. 30.—The slip-works of the Parsons Mining and Smelting Co. were started forthe first time this afternoon. A large amount of slip has been mined, which will be ground and samples sent to all the large potteries west of the Mississippi River. A large stock will be kept on hand, but at present there will probably be demand enough to keep the works constantly busy. There are other uses to which the clay can be ut. It makes the best material for stove lining hathas sofar been found in the Western country. It will make the best of vitrified brick and there is a strata ofeighteen feet in thickness below the slip which will make the finest of vitrified brick. The clay has been examined at the great brick-works at Galesburg, III., and pro- nounced superior to clay there. There isa movement on foot to start vitrified brick- works in connection with the slip mine, whictr would prove a good investment for our local capitalists. Testing the Prohibitory Law. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Nov. 30.—George W. Jackson, a colored teamster, whose principal oceupation for the past year has been the hauling of beer and whisky from the Missour! side of the river to this city, mak- ing a distribution of the same to pri- vate parties from his wagon, was arrested yesterday by tbe police and was this morning fined $200 and given thirty days in the city jail. This is the firat sentence of this class, many before having been arrested, but no convic- tion secured. Thecase was appealed to the District Court. The prohibitionists are tak- ing active steps toward the enforcement of the probibitory law and three cases were filed yesterday against many ,parties for selling and having on their premises beer and liquor.

Rv Telegraph to fhe Post-DIsPaton. NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Nov. 30.—The South- eastern Nebraska Teachers’ Association con- cluded a two days’ session in this city yester- day. Theconvention was largely attended, many prominent Nebraska educators being present. Much important work was accom- plished. “DAMNATION OF FAUST.” Last Rehearsal of Chorus, Orchestra and Soloists Yesterday Afternoon. The full rebearsal of the Choral Society for orchestra, chorus and soloists took place yesterday atternoon st the Music Hall. Or- chestra and soloists were on hand at 3:30 p. m. and the practice began promptly. All the singers were in good voice, though of course they did not attempt any real ‘‘singing.’’ But natur- ally went through their parts sparing their volees as much as possible. Both Mme. Muliers and Mr. Beaumont have extremly sympathetic and true voices and have been accustomed to singing in large halis, and Mr. Ludwig’s voice is too well known and 2 lar here to need any further praise. Tne singer who was to take Brander’s (a student) song, disappointed the society at the last mo- ment, but Mr. George Wiseman came to the rescue and sangthe part without any pre- vious preparation, He will sing it at the con- cert with bis well-known intelligence and correctness. The orchestra did very weil and rendered the realistic and melodramatic effects in excellent style. The chorus, which is tor this concert reinforced by the Lieder- kranz Mannerchor, sang with its customary certainty and clearness of phrasing and, be- ipg mue — than usual, filled the bail bes a magnificent volume of sound. he concert promises altogether to be the best 1 2 eet performance yet given by the Choral Society. : Patents Issued to Missourians.

Makes Another Big Purchase—Cen. tral Business Property Engaging the At- tention of Investors—Northern and West- ern Speculators Leoking at East St. Louis Lands—A New Masonic Temple. AILWAY terminal prop- erty was dealt in more ‘extensively yesterday than any other class of real estate and papers pertaining to two of the ‘transactions, uggregat- ing over 554,000, were filed for record. The purchaser in each case wae the Merchants’ Bridge Railway Terminal Co., which has already Dought a great deal of property along its proposed route, from its bridge site down vr. 2 2 the river tront to near Poplar street and west into the Mill Creek Valley, south of the Union Depot. The details with regard to many of these purchabes have been made public, and some in relation to others of very considerable magnitude have not. Some time since the company instituted condemna- tion proceedings to obtain property desired by them and which it was said they coulda not secure by purchase, but the frequency with which they have bought recently has caused several well posted real estate agents to conclude that it is the intention of the company to buy if possible, and con- demn only aga last resort, after owners have refused to accept geod round prices. The grbund bought yesterday is near what will be the western appr ach to the bridge. One plece fronting 911 feet on the east line of Hall street and 144 on Angelica, was bought from Mr. G. Clark for 381, 101. 65. The other was apiece of ground fronting 8668 feeton Penrose street by a depth of 911 on Hall street, situate at the southeast corner of Penrose and Hall streets, which was bought for $22,985 fromthe Ohouteau, Harrison, & Valle Iron Co. ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL PROPERTY. The organization of the Central Improve- ment Association has already had a stimulat- ing effect upon the demand for business property within the domain over which the institution will have a watchful care. Two sales on Ninth street south of Pine, aggregating $385,000, are attributed sole- ty to the influence of this association. he property sold has been upon the market a longtime, but now thata combined and powerful effort isto be made by repre- sentative real estate owners and business men to rid the section of the many objection- able features which are holding its better de- velopment in check, speculato.s see that it is going to enhance rapidly in value and the dis- position is to ay now. Another $16,000 pur- chase was made in this district last week by a gentleman who has owned adjoining prop- erty for many years. He could have bought the site for mucn less money two years ago. At that time he would have been glad to have parted with the adjoining premises for $10,000 and it war no more valuable than the place for which he has paid $16,000. Seeing the turn events have taken for the better and feeling that the Cen- tral Improvement Association is going to ac- com plish a great deal of good for that quarter of the city he conclud that he would not sell, but became a buyer and will probably be the firetto put up a fine building on Chestnut street. Yesterday the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws held a meeting at the office of the secretary, Mr. Kernan, of the Orm of Ker- nan & Faris, and formulated papers which will be submitted at the next Po meeting of the assocjation, December 5. AN INCREASE OF OVER $600,000. These transactions, however, do not figure in the record ofthe week’s business, which, according to the list of published transfers, shows a gain of $601,357 over the previous week. This is a very satisfactory increase, especially in view of the fact that Thankegiving left but five days in which to record deeds. During the week ending November 23 there were but 108 conveyances filed for record. Last week only thirty-four more transfers were filed, and yet there was only one deed amon the whole lot which exceeded $100,000 an that was in the name of the Para’ more Investment Co. The sales, how ever, taken all through the list, were uni- formly largerthan they have been for sume time past. This is mainly for the reason that more down town Ousiness property has been sold lately than earlier in the season when speculations and investments were confined principally to residence property. The trans- fiers for last week foot up $882,527. A NEW MASONIC TEMPLE. There is a good deal oftalk in masonic cir- cles about building a grand new temple at a cost of at least $1,000,000—a structure which shall surpass the imposing outlines and inter- ior elegance ofthe Odd Fellows Building at the southeast corner of Olive and Ninth. A feeling of pride seems to be at the bottom of this enterprise and there is bright promise that something worthy of the order is going to grow out of it. In this city there are twentygiive Masonic lodges, eight chapters, two K hte Templar assuciations, an Owl’s nest, a Shrinérs organization and a Grand Lodge, and yet they have not gota building which they can call their owu. In this regard St. Louis is one of the very rarre exceptions, as every other city in the country has a fine Masonic Temple. The old hall at Seventh and Market streets was mortgaged for debt, and is now owned by the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co, Since that financial failure St. Louis Masons have thrived and grown rich. Tuscan Lodge alone, it is said, is wealthy enough to build a $1,000,000 hall, and there are several other lodges néarty as well off. No site has yet been suggested for such an improvement, but itis proposed to raise the necessary amount of money — atock sub- scriptions among Masons exclusively, so that they will own and have exclusive control of their own beadquarters. The idea now advanced is to put up a ten-story building from the upper floors of which a revenue of $4,000 a year may be easily derived from masonic organizations. In addition to this income other apartments in tbe building could be rented 80 as to make the investment pay an excellent percentage. CAPITALISTS IN BAST ST. LOUIS, Messrs. M’Causland & Guignon, who have been operating extensively in East St. Louis property during the past six months, are pleased to know that moneyed men from dis- tant cities are being attracted to that thriving. town, and have been there looking at rea! estate, with a view to investment. Last week Mr. H. B. Chamberlain, of the Chamberlain Investment Co., of Denver, Colo., went over the river and made a _ thorough inspection of the town, and so did Mr. George Adams of Chicago, also Messrs. Fran Yarnal and Thos. Mumford of Minneapolis, Minn. The two last named gentiemen are extensive real estate operators and all of them are surprised an N much pleased with the prospects of the place, They saia St. Louis is a great city Dut favor East St, Louis ss the best field for real estate specula- tion, and are seriously considering a propos tion to buy a large slice of the Ames and other land tracks, which Messrs. McCausland & Guignon bave purchased over there. READY FOR KUSINESS. The St. Louis & Seattle Land Co. filed arti- cles of incorporation in the Recorder’s office yesterday.

HAT at least ninety players have afiixed their names tothe Na- tional League con- tracts is certain, and nearly all of them will be found playing base ball in this organiza- tion when the season begins next April. A new impetus was given to the movement when . it became known that Mike Kelly had fallen A into line. Here is a 2 player who has had every inducement of- rt mis „ i:. 2 — with the Boston National League Club, and 1 cannot refrain from centrasting his action with that of Jack Giasscock. One ls a qguiok- witted, whole-souled, hearty fellow, as bright off as he is on the diamond; a player whom thousands of people know personally, and whom all lovers of base ball admire; who could have received a bonus of $5,000, and made a three years’ contract at $5,000 a year to have deserted his comrades. He had no serious grievances. True, the Bos- ton triumvirs promised him the management of the team last season, and then took it away from him before a game had been played; but that made no difference with Mike’s piaying. He didn’t abstain from liquor throughout the season; but at the very time he was accused of excessive drinking he was playing the best ball. Once, several years ago, it is sald, President Soden voted to black list bim because he cut third base while in a hurry’ to get home, and in the last meeting of the National League President Spalding evidently wanted to square accounts with Kelly, but failed. These mat- ters are not really grievances, and the great Player does not like to have them mentioned. Because he was one of the stars, the magnates bowed down to him, and, generally speaking, he was at peace with them. On tne other hand, Jack Glasscock, also a great player, has been howl- ing at the National League for years. He has been heard to score the Indianapolis manage- ment hundreds of times in a manner that would make President Brush’s ears tingle. After creating general sympathy he tries to sell out his brother players for $1,000 and a $4,000 salary. Fortunately his desertion carried no weight with other first-class play- ers, but it is easy to see that there is a differ - ence between such a man and Mike Kelly. Kelly was handed $500 by the management of the newclub in Boston and told to go to California and sign the other Boston players. He left Tuesday night with Mrs. Kelly, and expectstoplay afew games of ball on the coast before he returns. The National League’s paid supporters are making much of a clause in the Players’ League contract which provides for the payment of salaries from gate receipts. Now, this idea came from the players who were on the committee to draft the contract, and it was inserted to avoid any loss that might result from dishonesty of a stockholder or player in any club. In most States the part- nership laws are such that an agent or partner may incur liabilities and the club is held re- sponsible. In the players’ National League not only the stockholders but the players are partners, and this provision was incorporated in the contract to cover any irregular action on either side. As a matter of fact, it protects the player as well as the stockholder. The cavitalists, however, to put aquietus onthe criticisms which have been made on the document, will, at the meeting to be held in the Fifth avenue Hotel on the _ 10th inst., put up a guarantee fund of $40,000 to be used for the purpose of paying salaries. Perhaps the sum will be larger; at any rate it will be ample to meet the requirements of the case. Bot where have the players previously gotten their salaries? This is easily. ex- pluined. The gentiemen who have been ſos- ing money in base ball from year to year have gone down deep in their pockets and paid every cent at all times. They are so fond of the game they rejoice in just such philanthro- py. Thrifty boys, these magnates. 5 John M. Ward has returned from the West enthusiastic over the prospects of the new league. He had assurances of support wher- ever he went, and ltikewise, from this time forward the magnates will able to bribe none ofthe players. Knights of Labor organ- izations are sending Mr. Ward letters of con- gratulation and encouragement, and some of them wou!d make interesting reading for Glasscock, Denny and four or five others. There was no necessity.for these deserters to place themselves in such a bad light before the public. Take the case of Billy Sunday. He was an active Brotherhood man, but was not on the best of terms with Ned Han- lon. Of course, he had five offers from the National League. He went to Ward and begged for and finally was granted an honora- bie release. The other men could have done the same thing. Ward will undoubtedly cap- tain and manage the Brooklyn team. coker, who, by the way, is solid for the player's League, will be on first, Bassett second, Ward short, Blerbauer third, with Seery, Mowveachy nd Andrews in the outfield. So far Con Rurphy and Jack O'Connor is the only bat- tery signed, but several battery players will be secured in a few weeks. rooklyn will have a great team Buffinton Signs With the Brotherhood. Fall River, Nov. 30.—Charies Bufnnton, the Philadelphia pitcher, says he has signed a contract with the Brotherhood and thinks he bas done the wisest thing. The Browns Beaten by the Dallas Club. NV Telegraph to the POsST-DISPATCR.

This was about the only means the Baltimore mag- nate sawopen to bim to get out of the hole into which he was forced. THE . u roth. indin 333 the League, they Great Preparations Going On-—Gibelin a Prospective Champion. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New Tonk, Nov. 80.—Although Slosson and Daly are the only men who have ene? the articles for the billiard tournament, there will undoubtedly be at least three more names added by the time the entry list closes on Monday. Sexton and Ives are all ready, and at soon as the document is presented will affix their signatures thereto. The other con- testants for the prize money will, in all be Heiser, Carter and two French- n and Garnier. Theonly doubtful Heiser, who says he is afraid he cannot spare the time for the Chicago tournament. His friends are trying to talk him over, however, and the chances are that he will manipulate the cue with the rest ofthem. Carteris now abroad giving exhibitions in Brussels, but will leave or New York as scon as bis ey a is na e holl- men—G ibe! man is filled, and arrive in New York duri days. The management couldn’t keep him out of the tournament it it tried, and Carter says he will come out pretty near the top of the heap. ’ The troubie thus far with the Frenchmen has been the question of expenses, but the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. have made up their mind to have them no matter what the cost will be, and Mr. Collender, who is now in Paris, has undoubtedly signed them by this time. Garnier is well known in this country, and is very popular. He came to New York soon after the close of the war and opened the Dilliard room now run by Sexton, on Sixth avenue near Broadway. After a sojourn of ten years he returned to Europe, and now has three establishments under his management, one in Toulouse, another in Leeds, with his headquarters in Brussels, wnere Carter is now giving exhibitions. Gibelin, the other French player, is a young man, but plays a wonderful game of billiards. He is considered by the knowing ones to be the coming champion of France. The New York cracks are making active preparations for the big event. Slosson isin better trim than any of bis great rivals. He practices daily and makes some large averages at the l4-inch balk line game. die, the amateur champion, will shortly begin playing with Slosson and the local enthusiasts will have achance to see sowe fine billiard playing free of charge. THE WHEEL, To-day’s Paper Chase—Prominent American Riders—Cycling Chat. Weather permitting, the big bicycle paper chase which was originally announced for Thanksgiving day will be run off to-day at Forest Park, starting from the Blair Monu- ment at 9:30 a. m. sharp. E. N. Sanders and A. L. Jordan will be the hares H. G. Wolzen- dort and A. J. Emery will act as whippers-in. Geo. Wilder will be master of the pack. Geo. L. Lucas will do the starting and timing and the judging will be looked after by Robs. Haha. It is expected that fully 100 wheelmen will take part, and they will have to be on hand promptly so that the proper handicaps can be arranged. Geo. Tivey has generously donated a guitar to the winner of the event, and the chase will therefore prove to be very interesting. PROMINENT AMERICAN RIDERS. Trainer Wm. J. Corcoran says in the Bos ton Herald: ‘‘I nave attended about half a dozen race meetings this season and the racing was not as good as in 1886, nor were the men asstrong. If Hendee and Ives had been in their 1886 form, they would have had no difficulty in beating all comers. As it was, That shows that the lacking. Windle could have beaten them all. He is Wat I calla won- der. He could beat any of them 50 ardsinamile. I think Windle could beat sumsden as he pleased. The latter is a. good man with great strength, but be is no phenomenon like indle. If the right men were in the East, Lumsden would not find winning so easv. I do not consider Banker and Campbell racing representatives of this section. Ives, Hendee and Windle are better men, and Christ, with better training, could beat Lumsden. The East is very strong in safety riders. George Hendee is no doubt the king of tiem. With but four weeks’ practice he made a mile in 2m. 41s. Then there is Davis of Harvard. Van Wagoner would be a surprise if he got the right kind of training and stuck to one wheel. In Canada E. O. Rassicoe of Woodstock seems to be the leader. He isin the same class with our best men. These riders will compete next season andthere promises to be many recruits from the Connecticut regioa.’’ CYCLING OHAT. Attend to-day’s paper chase at Forest Park. No runs have been called for to-day on account of the muddy roads. Maurice Johnson is aow considered the best trick rider in the city. Art Taylor and T. Corey of Chicago were in town the past week and visited the clubs. Among the visitors announced is H. A. Lein- bart of Boston, who will be here December 5. The Louisiana Cycling Club has ran its mem- bership up to seventy-five. Fifteen members were elected at the November meeting. James B. Dunn of Ohio, one of the candi- dates for thee League presidency, will be the guest of Treasurer Brewster next week. Chairman Daval of the Racing Board will have his headquarters at No. 1 Thirty-first street, Chicago, after December 1. Applications continue to pour in on Secre- tary Bassett for L. A. W. membership in svite of the fact that the riding season is about over. W. Derby Hyde, an Englishman, 43 years of age, during the year ending -eptember 30 has ridden 7,881 miles on a tricycle. Nefther Percy Stone nor Hal Greenwood dave been noticed on a wheel for several months. These men were formerly among the hardest riders in the city. Lumsden and Winship are to be presented with spécial medals bythe Peoria Ciub for their record-breaking performances last fal). An increased attendance was again noticed atthe Missouri Club’s gymnasium classes, and the face of Capt. Hildebrand is wreathed in smiles in conse quence. Will Murphy of the Kings County Wheel has a monthly record of 1,700 miles that was second only to that of Beers of the Middlesex (Mass.) Cycle Club. St. Louis has at present five cycling clubs, but with the exception of the Missonris and the Cycling Club they are small organizations and are hardlgever heard of either on the road or path. “ - The St. Louis Cycling Club holds its regular monthly meeting Monday night at A. L. Jor- dan’s office, and the Missouris will hold theirs on Tuesday at their club. Important busl- ness will come before both clubs. Capt. Nisbett of the New York Club has thrown down the gauntiet to any club in New York City for a team race of four men for any. distance from five to twenty-five miles. The Chicago clubs have adopted the scheme of calling walks when runs cannot be taken, and a number ofthe clube have done the dis- tance to Pullman and back. This is an excel- lent idea for keeping the active riders to- — gg and should be adopted by the local clubs. A. J. Menge, with 4,116 miles, led the River- side (N. Y.) wheelmen in the seven-months’ mileage competition, which ended October 31. The leading scores are: J. R. Fitch with 3,091; F. R. Miller, 3,007, and E. J. Olmstedt, 3,000. The special business to come before the Missouris at Tuesday’s meeting is to eliminate the words active and bicycle wherever found in the constitution and by-laws. This can only be done by an assentlag vote of two- thirds of the members present. 3 The Chicago Oricket and Athletie 0 having secured a of ground nt quality was hey saw that * . | | were true they could not have had members, —— * pa — kin g for ward N o em are loo 1 — they will de resumed with t anticipation.

The house will be of original design, two stories in height, con- taining lockers, a general assembly room, a secretary’s office and apartments for ladies. The house, it is expected, will be completed by July, 1890. THE TURF. The Opening day of the New Orleans Races— Track Talk. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw ORLEANS, La., Nov. 30.—The fall meeting opened to-day with chilly weather, a fine track and a small attendance. The open- ing was slimly advertised and thinly patron- ized. The track this year is partly tile- drained, well graded ana greatly improved. There are about a hundred horses on hand, about fifty more are on the road from Bir- mingham,and others are coming from Texas. When all get here, stakes are promised to bring out the cracks. Col. Simmons, the ruling sport of the meeting, is still in the stan up in Jersey, and Capt. Billy Williamson is acting as presiding Fate, Capt. J. B. Ferguson the entucky starter, officiated here and did well. It was expected to give the betting privilege to one man and allow him to sub-lease, but there has been no bid high enough. The club dealt with the books direct, and Marsh Redon Barney Wolf of Kansas City, Wheelock and Flanagan and Lamb were on the four stands. They lost money, as three favorites won, and outside of the first race only the favorites were backed. First race, selling, purse $125, divided, sell- ing and maden ailowances, five furlongs.

Rellevo joined them in the turn and led inte the stretch, where Nellie Kent, who had dropped back to fifth, came through easy and won bandily by three lengths, Rellevo a length and a half in front of Secret, Rosa Pearl, Germanic and Bonnie Annie, the others strnng out.

She has the best record of any animal ever before offered at auction. — a — THE RING. The McCarthy-Nolan Fight—The 835,000 Story Denied—Other Pugilistic Items. By Telegraph te the PosT-DISPATCH. New Tonk, Nov. 30.—No pugilistic en- counter of recent years in this locality has occassioned so much discussion as the Me- Carthy-Nolan affair. It was, in the opinion of almost everybody who was present, a great fight. The lads displayed more science than the ordinary run of ‘‘matinee’’-goers are ac- customed to, and the spectators haven't ceased praising both men yet. McOarthy is undoubtedly the peer of any man of his weight in this country, and he has had some 3 hard batties, but he never fought in his ifeashe didonthat barge in the bosom of the Hudson last Wednesday night. He did not think that his opponent could withstand Mis terrific left-handers as long as he did, but Nolan took all he was given, and was not slow in returning the compliments the Jer- seyman extended. If Nolan had been properly handied the fight would have lasted fully twenty-five rounds, but he tried to rush Cal, and that’s just where he made a misgake. Some one remarked that the Englishman's advisers were ‘‘shoemakers,’’ but they cer- tainly did not use the proper tactics to have their man last. McCarthy kept well away from Nolan in the first round, expecting “to ‘‘wind’’ the Britisher and then put him out at will, but Noian fought for six rounds as hard as anv man ev did with the punishment he ot. Nolan did not seem to be a dodger at rat, and fortwo rounds looked slow, but in the third round he got away from four ter- rific blows, any one of which might have put him to sleep, and so cleverly that the specta- tors, who had previously been perfecti quiet, applauded him roundly. In the fourt round be looked a bit tired, but he took lots of punishment and gave not a little. Me- Carthy had the best of this round, however, by long odds, The fifth round was a complete surprise.

Foot-Ball Games. There will only be two foot-ball games played to-day, the Christian Brothers’ College team having dropped out of the League as the other clubs were toe heavy forthem. Wynne will captain the Pastimes until Skerritt is able to resume diay, which will probably be in a month or so. Both games to-day will be called at 8 p. m. The Shamrocks play the Pastimes at Sports man's Park and the Hibernians meet the Olympics at Amateur Park, The teams will be as follows: AT SPORTSMEN’S PARK. SHAMROCKS. J. Dennehy, | Goal. D. J.

This will not interfere with the regular cross coun- try runs waich will be continued so as to af- ford prac/ice for those who wish to take part inthe four-mile steeple chase, which will probably be set for next Sunday. Pistel Practice. Alexander again won the medal at the regu- lar weekly shoot ofthe St. Louis Pistol Club. Out of a possible 100 the following scores were made on the standard 30-yard target reduced to 20 yards: G. W. Alexander 9 W. Bauer..............8 $ W.C. Mackwitz...... 9 O. Wallace C. Billmyer. ..... 7 Athletie Notes. Alex. Jordan plays the position of halt back on the N. Y. A. C. foot ball team. There is some talk of holding the Western Association field championships in the spring instead of the fall. F. L. Lambrecht, the noted amateur weight utter, bas gone into foot ball and is a mem- er of the Manbattan Athietic Club’s foot-ball team. The new club-house of the Manhattan Ath- letic Club, atthe corner of Madison avenue and Forty fifth street, will be ready for occu- pancy by May 1. The reopening of the entries for the M. A. A. ©. steeplechase was done at the request of several athletes who had been dilatory in sending in their entries. The board of managers of the Amateur Athletic Union bas taken a step in the right direction in shutting down on picnic games. The Western Association should pass a sim- ilar rule at once. Procrastination is not only the thief of time, but of one’s patience as well, and inno case is it demonstrated more clearly than in the de- lay among athietes in sending in their entries to games. The only way to remedy the evil is to refuse past entries. The Olympic Athletic Club, San Frfhcisco, {is about to turn out a runner who, it is be- lieved, will replace Schifferstein, the crack sprinter of the Coast and make the quarter- mile men uneasy. A. 8. Henderson is the man, and he is reported to have done 100 yards in even time and a quarter in 50s. Although the dally papers have it that Cope- land, M. A. C., will not hurdle again, but will confine himself to flat races, the chances are ood that when the season rolls around and chwegler turns up in form, Copeland will not be able to resist the temptation of having it out with the Staten Islander.—Exchange. George Smith, of 2 the noted 222 says: I look upon im Collins as the coming greatest sprinter of the world. He is only 23 years of age, and is finely de- veloped, and from what he has shown there is no one whocan touch him in a match on the level. Smith has permanently retired from the path. It is not often that an amateur athietic record is broken three times in one season, yet such has been the case with the three-mile running record. P. D. Skillman reduced it at the Eastern championship games at Bergen Point on June 15, and was again lowered by A. B. George, who brought it down at the New York Athletic Club’s games, and now W illie Day has reduced it again. Ata meeting of the elfic Coast Amateur Athletic Association, November 7, the ques- tion of allowing members of the Amateur Athletic Union to compete in games of the P. . A. A.

By Telegraph to the PosTt-DIsPraTcn. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—THE SUNDAY WORLD proposes to give a free trip to Europe—which means first-class at e passage, with a week in London, an@a week in Paris, together probably with a run down to Rome—to the per- son who makes the nearest guess to tbe exact | time ocoupied by Nellie Bly in making her flying trip around the worid. The winner of this coveted prize will have to state the time in days, hours, minutes and seconds. Miss Bly’s plan of travel has been published, and itis expected, if fortune favors her in her tour, that she will accomplish her globe-gird- ling feat in seventy-five 8.

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky., Nov. 30.—News has been received from Nortonville to the effect thatthe body of Tom Loving, ayoung man residing near there, was found in the road at an early hour yesterday morning cold in death. He had gone to Morton’s G the evening before to sell a pistol he owned, but failing in that he started home ata late hour. Uneasy over his absence, his father went in search of him and finally found him 2 the road dead, a pistol shot wound in tt temple and the weapon in his hand. He had evidently been dead for hours when found. There is great excitement’ over the affair, though it is generally belleved that he came to his death by an accident. ; Whisky Men Rejoice.

PRACTICES PECULIAR TO THE PRESENT OFFICIALS OF THE STATE. To Congressman Cannon’s Henchmen Fall the Plums of Patronage—Important De- cision of the Appellate Court—New Kail- way Corporations—Pardoned by the Gov. erner—Southern Illinois for St. Leun State Gessip. PRINGFIELD, II., Nov. 80.—Illinois is a great State. Her meth- ods are peculiar in politics, in agricul- ture, stock raising and in State government. Her plans are copied not only by sister States, but by the United States Government. Reference bas béen made to the statement that Secretary of State Pearson maintains a State bed-house and allows a number of State-house employes to occupy furnished rooms in the State Capitol building. The occupants of the government building now come to the front and propose to be as polite on this subject as the State offi- cialis. Dr. Wilcox, the gentleman from Cham- paign, appointed by Mr. Harrison on Congress- S position of Collector of Internal Revenue here, comes tothis city usually every Wednes- day night and leaves Friday morning, spend- ing two nights and a day once a week at his office, for which burdensome duty he draws from the Government #,000a year. in one of chief deputy, Green, lodges. The story is told that the economical doctor occupies this bed with Mr. Green while in the city. Mr. MeMillan is one of the doctor’s deputies and a close friend. A part of the close figur- ing to be done in the office isto arrange Mo- Millan’s trips so that heshall be out when Wilcox is here, as he occupies the folding bed with Green when not on the road. This trav- elling deputy is one, fortunately, that Wilcox is satisfied with, out of the fifteen he has tried since he was appointed to office. But of this number, no fellow from Springfield got a show. Senator Cullom did not indorse WII- cox, so the people from Mr. Cullom’s district are not recognized. Wilcox le a henchman of Congressman Cannon, and when a man is wanted he is taken from Cannon’s district“ A HIDE-BOUND POLICY, As an evidence of this hide-bound policy Judge Fosselman of this city, an old-line Re- publican and an excellent man, applied fora position under Wilcox and went to see Con- gressman Cannon in regard to the matter. He was informed that he ‘‘lived in a Demo- cratic distriet. Now observe the consist- tency. Adams and Pike Counties, both very much stronger Democratic than Sangamon, each have a traveling deputy. But this is Cullom’s county, and he must be punished. The only way to account for the favors extended to Adams and Pike Counties is to presume that they are endeavoring to entice Col. Aga Matthews over to their side, as he is a very conspicuons Pike County Republican. Little Hon. Andy J. Lester, who made some reputation in the last presidential campaign as the Republican bov orator, and was elected to the Illinois Legislature, is one who is doing the most kicking about the maintenance of a bed- house Aer by Dr. Wilcox. The lit- tle Hon. Andy is on the rapid road to fame. Hie track is at least two seconds fast and atrifie short. Since ‘the election of Har- rison he has asked for pretty much everything, from Attorney-General of the United States down, and has finally sub- ceeded in getting appointed to the ition of second assistant associate counsel to the In- spector ofimmigration. He bas just returned from Washington, where he obtained per- mission to locate his headquarters in thiscity, and is now busily engaged on a scheme b which he will either have the immigrants lan here or, after their landing at Castie Garden, have them come hereto be inspected. Mean- while he thinks it tolerably tough that he has to 1 around on the corner of the streets until do addition ts erected to the Government building, while Wilcox uses that room in the northeast corner for a dormitory.

PARDONED BY THE GOVERNOR. The Governor has pardoned August Gahr and Joseph Franz, who were sent from St. Clair County in 1887 to serve twoand one- halt years each in the Chester penitentiary for maliciously placing obstructions on the track of the Illinois & St. Louis Railroad; also George Holland of Greene County, sent to the Reform School, March, 1889, for four years for assault; also dale, sentenced in March, 1885, to fourteen years at Chester forthe murder ofa school- mate. He was pardoned on account of falling health. NEW RAILWAY CORPORATION.

Shuman of Chicago stopped here on his way back from Southern Ulinois, where he went to investigate the prospect of the Iili- nois Congressional vote for the location of the World’s Fair. He finds that the entire State is not wild for Chicago. Congressmen Forman Fithian, Lane and Williams expressed a p erence for St. Louts. He thinks that St. Lou! will get the vote of the southern part of the State at least. Portraits for Christmas. Oll Pastel Crayon made by Scholten awarded highest prize Paris Expositi6n.

Young [Written for the SUNDAY PosT-DisPATcn.] * $6 H, dear oh dear, Christmas is nearly y ask here. Ihaveoceans of . Christmas presents to give, and how shall I possibly decide what to give each of my ‘dear 500 friends?’ ’’ This is the wall of the feminine worid at present, the vital and ill-absorbing topic of ne day. One which is agitating everybody, for Christmas pres- ents are really the great events of the entire year. Atthis happy tide each emotion of love, friendship or in- interest will find an outlet ih some thoughtful gifts. The feminine world entire is athrob at this omentous time. Each woman is in sympathy with the other. Itis the grand ex- position of congeniaity. It is the Christian promoter of human consideration and recip- rocation. Near and afar thoughts biend in unison. ‘‘She shall remember me. He shall not forget me. These are the very key notes of happy Xmas tide, for each one remem- Pers the other inthis grandest of all seasons. Even now the streets are alive with seekers of gifts for the coming festival. The mails even now are beginningto befreighted with gifts to the friends who are very, very far away, and in a brief time willswell to the greatest magnitude. Christmas is coming’’ is writ- ten on every face. The shops are crowded, the cars are overflowing, every place is alive with people bent on their Xmas preparations, and everywhere the all important cry goes forth: ‘‘What shall I give for Christmas gift?’’ Men find it hard to select for women, women find it decidedly more difficult to choose for men, and so the sea of aifficulty grows deeper and deeper. As the season is one essentially of love and rejoicing so the gifts emanating trom thoughtful interest are the most appreciated, and for that reason a gift made at home and worked by loving bands is trebly appreciated in preference to purchased ones. It is simple enough to buy a jewel or dainty gift, but when one tolls over design and construction t is all different. Designs worked subtiety int. neshes of the gift practical are double treasures in them- selves. For this reason the Christmas gift made at home by the donor is of ali others the most perfect one to be given. The SunN- DAY Post-DIsPaTCH knowing the certainty of this determined to collect for the benefit of ites readers a list of novelties for Xmas pres- ents. A very careful study and investigation resulted inthe accompanying description of what to give and how to make pretty and use- ful souvenirs. A minute geography of each article is given, and the methods of con- struction explained clearly. The accompany- ing illustrations were made by the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH artist from each article, and will better enable the reader to fully compre- bend and unravel the difficulties of the de- sign and determine at once the desirability of selecting it for presentation. A FISH PIN-CUSHION iscut out first inthin card board (visiting ecards will suffice) of two pieces, the shape of the > jllustration, and about 1 Dee >, e — three inches in length. s LE * Cover the pieces with 8 amber, or pale- blue a satin, or with any A Fish Pin- Cus ion. acraps of pretty silk or beads, and if the cov- ering materiai bas no pattern on it the scales shown must be painted or worked on it, or the entire thing may be covered with fine white net. Fasten the two sides together, com- mencing at the tail, and before closing this up insert just sufficient wadding in the body of the fish to give ita slightly round appearance, The mouth must now be worked in rather thick embroidery and sewing silk and pins arranged all around the form of the fish, and aiso where the fins are marked. A HAIR PIN AND PIN BASKET is the daintiest little affair imaginable and is formed of a piece of celluloid cut lengthwise and turned to form tire base ana sides of the basket. The celiu- loid is painted in de- for hairpins and con- sists of a st yg in- insert ig the to the pins. Another pretty present i — A WATOH-POCKET that is simply and unreservedly a gem of beauty is made of pasteboard fashioned ina small, round box shape, ead together by means of puffings of S é fret as aving first ad white un kid firmly surface. painted a lovely little picturesque boy, sumably ‘‘Budge’ **Toddy,’’ and neath the words: wantto see the wheels go wound.’’ The cover of the box is | formed by pasteboard A Watch- Case. covered tightly with kid, and upon it is pilea in graceful confusion a mass of soft pale pink surah, which is finished by little bows of pale pink and white ribbons. cover is made on the box, the interior of both box and cover being lined deftly with chamois skin to pre- servethe watch. This is one of the very prettiest of the fancy creations this year. A SPECTACLE CASE. A curiously pretty spectacle case is one which can be made of celluloid and bent in the shape necessary for holding spectacles. The celluloid is painted in designs, either floral or picturesque, and the pieces are caught together by brass rings with crochet coverings. On the top is placed a bow of brown ribbon and the roiled surface has painted on it these apt lines: **For your other pair of eyes Herein find a paradise.’’ Still another spectacle case can be made hy selecting a paper box of covenient size for holding a pair of spectacies and separate each side from the bottom. Then place one of the Jong sides ona piece of stiff pencil make an outline on the card-board Fig. 1. around the edge of the sides. Remove the side and use the outline as a base, extend the drawing up, curving and rounding it out into the form of fig. 1. Cut this out and use it as the back of the spectacle case below. Ifthis form is too. difficult simply draw the lines into a point from the base of the pattern, making the back — Fig. 2.—A Spectacle Case. triangular in shape. Cover the sides, under part and back with yellow silk. Make the case from each completed piece being over- handed altogether in their proper places. On the front print in fancy letters, Glasses; black lettering of silk is generally preferred, A NOVEL MATCH-SAFE. 2 0 The materials required rl this novelty are a strip of old-gold ribbon, SW satin being preferable, ray, 2½ inches wide, and Sinches long. an emp- ty tack box of heavy pa- per, bronzed or painted the colorof the ribbon, a small piece of sand pores and five little rass rings; with cov- erings of crochet of old gold sewing siik, tasseis of the same being made on three of the rings. Hem the ribbon on top and bottom, sew a covered ringon each of the corners and attach the three rings on the lower end of the ribbon. Fasten the box to the ribbon with firm paste, and attach the sand- paper on the ribbon in the same manner. Take stitches through the rib- bon and each corner of the top of back of the box. Do the same with the sana paper. On the ribbon trace the letters **Match’’ infancy letter- ing with ink or dark paint, and write the word ‘‘Scratch’’ in the same manner over the sand paper. A nice way of suspending the match - safe is by passing the four corner rings over four hooks placed in the A Novel Match-Safe. wall for the purpose. 2 Will make them firmly attached to the wall. THE COLLAR AND CUFF BOX is aChristmas novel- ty. Foundation is of paste board, the sides and bottom fashioned into the shape of a round box and fastenedtogether.

KIDDER has not gstven S01 Smith Rus- sell the best oppor- tunity to develope thd legitimate comedy in his composition, but he has given him e@ clever, pleasing vehi- cle to get above the monologue entertain- ment to which he has for the most part devoted himself of late years. He givés him a chance to draw a character, and while here and there are inconsistencies and appeals to the risibilities of the audience mot essential to the character, the tone of the performance is legitimate and Mr. Russell shows himself able to draw a genuine type. Ofthe charm of this type, of the kindly sym- pathy it invokesand the responsive chord it touches it igs néedlessto speak to those who enjoyed Mr. Russell’s work in A Poor Re- Jation’’ at the Grand last week. There aré some exquisite touches, some Gélicate side lights on gentle human nature, appeals to humor and pathos which fairly Surge over the auditor. The fact that the dramatist has done so little for the actor is the stronger proof of the latter’s ability, and gives earnest of admirabie results when Mr. Russell has perfected his plan of higher en- deavor. Mr. Russell has given himself excellent surroundings. A bright and dainty bit of in- menue work was done by Grace Filkins as Dolly and unusual cleverness was displayed by Marie Osborne. Lizzie Evans is working her way up by earnest and capable work. Miss Evans’ voice ‘hardly fits operetta, but she is pleasing in light comedy and is working out an excellent ambition to excel. There were strong evidences at the Olympic that the Fauntierov craze is flickering out. It Was one of those pretty things which are too sweet to iast.

The cast of characters is said to be most excellent, em- bracing sixty artists, the bright particular star being the popular humorist, Mr. Louis Harrison. The chorus is large, well-trained and good voiced, the feminine portion con- taining, so itis said, more pretty faces than any similar organization now before the pub- lie. Messrs. Rice and Dixey have attained a national reputation as producers of the beau- tiful in their ‘*Adonis,’’ ‘‘Corsair,’’ .etc., and tais last success is not excelled by any of their former efforts. The production is elab- orate, picturesque and richly mounted. Mr. Louis Harrison is said to have introduced in- numerable witticisms in his characterization of the jolly Tyfoo since last season, and sides his popular Bing-Uinger' has a new tepical song that has been the rage in the East. * — * John H.

The plot, though Slight, is said to have some very funny situa- tions, and the complications arise from the fact that each charac- ter in the play is named Smith. It is filled in with songs and specialties which are described as clever and cutching. The Cast contains a big list of bright people. in- clading Charles Reed, Ignacio Martinetti, John W.

The Jamesport Herald, an independent political paper, published in Daviess County, the home of Congressman Dockery, nominates Mr. Dockery for Governor in 1892, and says he will be a candidate, and is of all others in the State the most available for the position. The report that J. Scott Harrison, Jr., ro- cently appointed Superintendent of the Money Order Department of the Kansas Citv Post office, is a son of J. Scott Harrison of that city, is a mistake. He is a son of the President's brother, Carter Harrison of Tennessee. Frank Walker is mentioned as Secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee. Mr. Walker was Assistant Attorney-General and is Clerk ofthe Committee on Revision. He would make a most excellent Secretary should he be appointed and accept the position. F. M.

THE ADAMS EXPLORING AND SAID T0 HAVE VERY GOOD PROSPECTS. —— — Important Development Work Being Done on Other Properties—Indications as to a Valuable Ore Chute— The New York Guich—Reports From St. Louis Mines Transactions, Quotations, Etc, By Telegraph to the Post-Disrater. 8 EADVILLE, CO o., Nov. 30.—At the meet- ing of the Adams Mining Oo., on the Aot inst., very little business beyond the reading of the Super- intendent’s report, ay the sworn statement of Mr. Sylvester, the Secretary of the com- pany, and tne eléc- tion of Direc tors for the ensuing year was transacted. Mr. J. T. Briggs was in the chair, with Mr. R. J. Coleman as Sec- retary. The stock- holders were repre- sented by 119.9888 shares, out ot 150, 000, and the following gen- tlemen were elected as Directors: Messrs. James Campbell, J. J. Sylvester, Geo. F. J. G. Kelly, G. E. Me- Cline, W. W. Sylvester and w .F. Reed, the contro! passing almost entirely out ot the hands ' of the St. Louis stockholders. A, Though but very little ore is * being shipped at present froin thefgAdams, exploration continues, and it 8 more than probable the output will be con- siderably greater during December than it bas been for some little time. The connection between the dritt upraise and winze on the A. P. Williard claim of the Silver Cord property will probably be made soon, when the justly celebrated White Cap ore chute encountered in that ground will be thoroughly opened and developed. Where met with on the Col. Sellers, A. T. and Minnie mines this chute has proved of great value, and the fact that it is now being worked on at a distance of nearly 200 feet from where met inthe Silver Cord property would give one the impression that it is a large ana wide chute of ore, @rtainly as good as any hitherto caught in the Silver Cord workings. It is now estimated to be in the neighborhood of NINE FEET IN THICKNESS, and carries, on an average, 29 per centin lead, and assays very well in silver. Continuous prospecting goes on in other portions of the Cord workings, notably in the 1,100-foot level, where the upraise to the contact is being made, while inthe upraise to connect witn the Gross shaft the indications for catching a lead carbonate chute are extremely favorable. It would appear that the immense amount of development work now going on in this prop- erty cannot but result in the finding of large and profitable ore bodies in the upper con- tact, and the lower ore zone, upon which the White Cap’s chute is being opened, is sure to develop the Silver Creek property intoa valu- abie adjunct to our increasing list ot pro- ducers. The Shenango Is still bolding out in good shape, the ore slightly improving in grade as expioration continues. The development of the sulphide chute of the Uleter-Newton shows continued improve- ment, and a lot of about 100tons has just been shipped to the Omaha & Grant Smelting Co., the returns on which are, of course, not in, but from the appearance of the ore one would say that it should pay quite weil, par- ticularly as it is understood that the grade of the ore has somewhat improved. his, as said before, is almost invariably the case, as these sulphide chutes are opened out, as on the feather edge they are almost certain to carry more pyrite and zinc, and less silver than nearer the center of the chute. THE MOST IMPORTANT UNDERTAKING that has been commenced in this district for a long time is that ot the New England Gold & Silver Mining Co., as it developes a sec- tion of country in which but little intelligent prospecting has been done, as in almost every instance the development work has con- sisted of tunnels run im the pyritiferous porphyery, cutting the hills at too shallow a depth to obtain any very good results. Where these tunnels have been run, gash veine of sulphide ore, of different degrees of thick- ness, have been cut, which have been simply cut through, instead ot sink- ing on hem and the tunnels driven ahead. Where any attempt to sink On them bas been made, the parties do- ing the sinking have met u great deal of water and, asa rule, not possessing the necess funds to carry their shafts and winzes down have abandoned the sinking. Such is not thé state of affairs with the New England Oo., as they possess both the requisite amount of and“ and money to tbhorou vn dévelope the ground in which they, with a mining men here, nave implicit confidence, | The property is located at the head of California Guich, on the southeastern sir of White’s Hill, and consists of something over sixty acres of ground, all covered by United States patents, and a contract is being let to-day to sinka large shaftto the a i The shaft is tobe 9 feet 8 inches by 4 fe 3 ange ane 2 P n , roh . 6 an it is re- AS i. = Li — 7 I 42 * ity + 1 hoisting and will the shaft will be made to pay expe betore the contact, which is the o — is reached, and possibly do ever 6 r. * At Kokomo the 1 Delphos ate datne exesedinnly Well. ‘th a ar Oin e 1 — | oh goed ore, is now engaged in cutting a st 800-foot level to place a holster there, In o to sink a Winge which, it is unde od, is to 92 the go down some 300 feet in order Upper levels, ‘lit.

THD NEW YORK GULCH, near Aspen, is likely to be heard trom during the coming season, as there are some excellent properties being opened up there, notably the ew York mine, the Garden lode and one or two others, on which a deal of work is being done, Quite a deal of high-grade ore has been oe from the former of these mines, and the Castle Garden is likely to prove a gold bonanza, as it now has disclosed in its workings a vein of quartz, about six feet wide, that assays on an average about seven- tenths of an ounce of gold per ton. In the Galena Belie mine, which is located in Grizzly Gulch, a two-foot pay streak has been opened inthe quartzite, which carries about one hundred and sixty ounces in silver, and will also run about $15 in gold per ton. 4 A LEASE has been given Messrs. — Bray and WII- liam Berryman, two well known and ex- perienced miners, on the Brian Boru, and they are now engaged in clearing up the drifts and levels, both of the tunnels and main shaft, and when these are retimbered and put in good shape generally it is the intention of the lessees to endeavor to open up that portion of the ground lying next the Florence lode, in which it is said a good body of lead carbonate ore was met with few years ago. The mine was then being worked by lessees, who had some falling out omens themselves, and it is currently reported that the cave that oc- curred in these workings at the time of the discovery was given decided help by some of the parties in the lease. However that may e, the present lessees mean business, are amiliar with that locality, and propose giving the claim a thorough development. The Briag Boru lies immediately west of the Florence and just below thefamous Nellie 8., from which a great deal of very exccilent ore has been shipped. It is the opinion, however, that the present workings are not low enough, as the folding, which is now known to cut across that hill im a north-and- seuth direction, has itssteeper slope to the west, which would apparently place the Brian Boru near the apexof the folding and at a point where the ore, when found, would be of a jJow grade. This is borne out by the fact that what ore has been encountered, mined and shipped from the Brian Boru wasof that description. , —̃ — — LOCAL MINING NEWS.

JASON. — > WALL 8i REET. The Great Decline in Trust Stocks—Review of the Week. Ry Telegravh to the Poat-DisPatTcn. NEW York, Nov. 30.—Wali Street has rarely had an experience such as the trust stocks have furnished it tn the last two months. Fearful as the declines have been, the market to-day for these specialities gave no indication that bottom has yet been reached. Indeed,the weakness of the sugar trust certificates was the conspicuous feature of anervous and at times greatly depressed market, declining 59, a drop of nearly eight points from Friday’s closing and ot twelve points from the quotations current just one week ago. The liquidation has undoubtedly been hastene by the vigorous decision rendered by the Chicago Gas Trust case by the Supreme Court of Illinois, and the remarkable plunge that occurred in that stock—some twenty points. This decision, coming on top of that of the general term here against the sugar refineries has strengthened the opinion that the trusts have got to go, and that any attempt to evade the ruling of the courts by re-organizins in any other way than in strict compliance with the law will be fol- lowed by prompt prosecution of the offenders. Holders of the certificates of the various trusts have in consequence been seized with panic and last week sales were made almost regardiess of price. The results are simply such as have been repeat- edly foreshadowed by the Post-DISPaTCH, while the insiders have done everything pos- sible to hoodwink the public into belleving that they were buying the certificates them- selves, because they had no fear that the trusts couid be disintegrated. Now, after the old prices have been cut in half the streets arejfull of ‘*points’’to seil, and there is little doubt that the advices have been actedupon in many instances. The rule that the eneral run of. traders only buy- ing after the leaders have engineered a considerable advance holds good in the case of sales after a big shrinkage has taken place. Any one who bas had experience knows that this rule, if only followed long enough, lexds toruin. It is, of course, impossible to say when a selling fever is on where it will lead to. Conditions sufficiently bad in them- selves, but of a temporary character so far as their influence on intrinsic values are con- ‘cerned, often disturb confidence to an extent that enables the berre to pro- duce a panicky state of the market. = — — ° The situation just now, while encouraging in many respects to holders of railroad 8e curities, is also peculiarly favorable to opera- tions for a decline. The events in sugar, American cotton oll, lead and Chicago gas have spread demoralization, and added to this is the unsatisfactory con- dition of the money market, while ferred to later on when the alr is full of rumors of impending fallures, and of banks throwing out tne trusts from loans, as was the case to-day, skillful manipulation is liable to precipitate the trouble. Then, Boston is a factor which must not be lost sight of. . Her enormous losses by fire in the past week or so, a calculation of which must include the interruption to her trade and manufactories, as well as the destruction of wmwerchan- dise, must prove an awful Capitalists in various parte England, coming as it does heels of the tremendous shrinkage in Atchi- son, Burlington & Quincy and other securi- ties, which have enjoyed their confidence and had their undivided support in the past. That this is so beyond question is attested by the heavy sales of stocks by Boston people tor several days, and which culminated in the break In sugar refineries to-day. These are facts, and readily account for the ner- yousness and disquietude in Wall street. It is possible that the bears, who have been well equipped all along, and are now elated with guccess, may keep up, if not accelerate, liquidations. a . * A stone gathers velocity as it goes down the mountain side, and the remark is applicable to the stock market. Butthere is this to be remembered concerning the trust, more es- pecialiy by those who are already short, or who cantemplate er them- selves on that. side—that 8, that the men who sold out sugar refineries and the others at high prices maysee fit to take back their certificates, and that speculators may combine at any moment to twist the shorts. In either event the effect ‘would be the same, namely, to run up 22 several points. It should e added that shrewd operators who are firm looking daily for a move of the sort here out- lined and are, acting Cautiously in conse- quence. The chances for be the monetary | vag te cag in still lower prices ultimately are improving the market decidedly better than they are if situation created no uneasiness, As it is, the banks are very close to the legal requirements; currency does not return from the West and South to the atmountexpected; bonds are going into the treasury siowly, and the Dellef is peining ground that 1 Windom, u order to carry out the made by the present administration, will be- gin the work of reducing Government de- posits with the national banks. 4 * 7 In some quarters it is thought that the meeting of Congress will stimulate things in Wall street owing to the talk about sliver inflation and subsidies to American steamship lines. There is more or lees guess work about this, however, and car rators have not been willing to uch on promises of late. The Pittsburg Market.

Tumored failures in the glose of the Exchange at lety was a ented by New York CHAT FROM CHANGE. What will he do with it? is the question that agitates the local trade, when Moses Fraley and the December wheat deal is discussed. That most of the 1,400,000 bu stock of No. 2 red now in store here will be transferred to Fraley’s possession to-morrow there seems to be no doubt. He has made arrangements to carry every busbel delivered him, having contracted with D. R. Francis & Bro., Hub- bard & Bartlett, Block, Dean & Co., Cole Bros., Thomas Akin and other commission houses to carry the wheat, paying, it is said, as high a8 8 per cent interest to some, if not all these concerns, besides a commis- sion of Ye per bu. With storage and insurance charges added, it is claimed the carrying charges will be fully 7iec per bu for the five months including December up to May 1. It is a well known fact that Mr. Fraley has not the May sold against his December at any such difference us 7c. There never has been such a difference as that between these months this season, and itis openly asserted that Fraley’s sales of May will not average over 5c above his December purchases. At any rate it is sure that he has no carrying difference that will anywhere near let him out. Floor gossip has it that Mr. Fraley be- lieves there will be such a demand for the cash No. 2 that he will be able to sell his stock of wheat at the same price or even at a premium over the May price, long before that month comes around. During previous yeara the elevator people who carried the stock of wheat did this, and made good money out of it, but they usually had their May placed at such a difference over the price the cash stood them at, that they couldn’t lose any money—had everything, in fact, to gain and nothing to lose. It is different In the present case. The elevators let go of the wheat and an outsider will have it. Another reporton the flooris that Fraley is backed by outside capital. Heis also said to be long a large line of December in Chicago and expects to carry the wheat there if de- livered him. How long will Fraley carry this wheat? isthe next question that comes up, and the fear that the wheat may come out for sale at almost any day causes even the firmest friends of the cereal to feel sbaky and avoid staying long Decem options. There is not the confidence felt in thé long side of the market there was a short time ago. Several of the stanchest bulis have deserted that side and most of them are now sbort and seliing on every bard spot. Too much wheat and too small a demand was what converted them. Senti- ment and speculation both seem to have played out and the cold fact of increasing supplies aloneremains. It must be remem- bered, however, thatthe movement of wheat to market this year, especially in the North- west, bas been something phenomenal and it is liable to drop off to small proportions at almost any moment now. Already there are indica- tions of decreasing receipts, yesterday's ar- rivals at Minneapolis and Duluth amounting to a littie over cars, where they have been running 800 to 1,000 cars a day. Our own re- ceipts for the;jweek were 215,100 bu, or 114,000 bu leas than the preceding week, The stock here will probabiy show 50,000 bu increase, as only 5 bu was shipped away, and millers bought only enough to their milis running. The stock export trade atthe sea- board is a depressing factor. verv little leav- ing the Atiantic ports tor Europe and no fresh purchases for foreign account being heard of. Last week’s total clearances from coasts of wheat and flour were equivalent to about 1. 700, 000 bu (they were 1,869,000 bu the week before and 000 bu for corresponding Week last year) and most of this was from the Pacific Coast. Last year’s total ex- ports of four and wheat were nsidered small, yet Bradstreet’s says, *‘The present out- look for the current cereal year is not favor- able for exports of wheat (including flour) to equal those of 1888-99, when they were ,000,000 bu. The crop of 1889 promises an export surplus this cereal year of 118,000, bu, even if 40,000,000 bu are to be carried over next July.“ The markets on the other side, however, have shown firmnesss, even when those of this country have Seen weak and depressed. The friends of wheat say, too, that while this country bas a surplus, other exporting countries are short and as soon as their competition lets up, the United States will be able to have something to suy towards deciaring the price that wheat willbe soldat. It was another narrow and featureless market, that of the past week. May sold as low as 8c on Monday and as high as 84 %% „e on Wednesday and it closed with sellers at 89% e yesterday, which was Me above the preceding Saturday's ciose. Last week saw receipts of 1,745,555 bu corn, which were the largest single week’s receipts in the history of this market. Of this, 448,000 bu was for eh? shipment, the balance stopping here. The widely advertised ‘‘cor- ner in November corn that was to squeeze the price up to 40c was the principal cause for the immense arrivals. Every country snip- per who could get the cars, rushed his corn to St. Louis to take advantage of the corner(?). The result was so much corn came in that every contract outstanding was filled by ac- tual deliveries, and the market collapsed. Orthwein Bros. and H. O. Haurstick, who had bought the corn for export, and who, it was expected, would squeeze the shorts,got all the corn they had contracted for, and there was enough left to All up three or four times over all the shortage there had been in November. The result was a complete smash in price. Yesterday there w hundreds of cars of No. 2 offered at c. ow the country shippers must have felt like pay themselves when they saw November in Chicago quoted at 60c. The only mistake made was in the market that was to be ‘‘cornered.’’ There is no prob- ability of future recéipts approaching any- where near those of the past week. ‘They will be large, as local receiving houses have bought several million bushels to come here in De- cember and January, but St. Louis is now so far below competing — 481 — tor grades lower than contract, that fresh purchases ars not now possible. There has been some vigorous, if quiet ing by commission men here over what they term the cut-throat pol- ley pursved by tworival houses of this mar- ket.

There hasn't been very much received—159, 260 bu for week, where 201,520 bu came in for cor- responding week last year—but so slack was the demand that supplies accumulated, Out- ‘side gf the buying of local feeders, there was little demand and only 51,835 bu waa shipped Frank ot F. H. Ryan & Son, who largest shippers from this mar- ket, says he never saw such - stagnation at this season of the year as now exists. His pondents at the South write him that supplies are accumulating rapidly, as there is actually no call for oats. Besides a good corn crop, the North raised more oats than usual and have supplied thelr wants mainly from thelr own product. While the cash articie has been so near dead there was not much more life displayed in speculative circles, yet May ag ag up a peg or so, and is now selling 0. 26 Domestic trade buying only in a hand- to- mouth fashion, export business almost im- possible and in luck if 1000 sacks can be placed aboard, no profit in the littie flour sold, and mills turning out only just enough to keep their machinery and hands from idieness, is the re- ort of tocal millers. Their advices from urope are of abundant supplies for the — and no fears of the future; from New ngland points that while stocks are low they can get flour as fast as they need it; from the South, that they have all the flour they want just now. The country is beginning to con- sign flour to this market, some country millers who haven’t been heard from for months, writing their old St. Louis brok- ers for the market and stating that they have a few cars of flour on hand they could ship, if the price is satisfactory. So there is not at present any signs of improvement in the flour market. As only 44,577 bbis were shipped from here last week, it wil! be seen the out- ward movement is small, while receipts were 26,282 bbls, where there were only 10,834 bbis for same week last year. * = * McPherson, Switzer & Co., by private wire, received the following on the New York cotton and coffee markets: Coiton—Liverpoo! advices were of a very favorable tenor to-day, the recovery from the recent liquidation of arrival cotton in that market causing an advance not justified by our strength of yesterday. Receipts or cotton at the ports are very large, but the Soutbern markets, our telegrams tell us, are sustained by the purchases of American spinners, who have 80 far taken their requirements from hand to mouth. Lo- cally the market after-opening showed a dis- position to ease under realizing sales by the room trudersand the absence of any support from outside speculation. The appearance late in the session of leading bousés as buyers, however, cowpletely changed the tone of the marketand the close was firm. Advices from the Southern markets report stronger feeling among bolders, and as our classification renders the contracts available this season as hedges against sales of manu- factured goods, the purchases this afternoon are generally believed to have been for ac- count of manufacturers. Coffee—Oar market opened steady at 10 points decline, but afterwards on bull sup- port recovered 5@10 points, though under renewed offerings, chiefly for account of Europe, became easier and the recovery was lost. Theold short interest being covered there is a tendency to ease when buli withdraw their support. Rio and Santos re ceipts were more encouraging. The world’s visible supply is now not expected to show as great a decrease for November as was ex- pected two weeks ago. The total was over 300, 000 and now about 200,000 are the figures. The closing tone was steady, with bulis giv- ing renewed support at the close. An agreement has been asrived at by several of the parties interested to have the ard of Directors of the Exchange settie the question of the Mo storage on grain. This will be whefe elevator receipts of grain dated prior to Novemwberlare delivered upon contracts also ante-dating that time. Itis believed the directors“ decision on this question will be accepted as final by ali parties interested. The board will meet to-morrow afternoon. It is asserted that there are now a larger number of Exchange members delinquent for their annual dues than ever before known. The number is placed at over 500. Secretary Morgan is now sending out last notices,’ and he reports that the delinquents are com- ing forward and paying up yr avy f but there seems to be no doubt bat that the list to be posted by the 15th will bean unusually log one. Most of these delinquents would only be too gidd to get rid of their member- ships if they could anywhere near the amount they first paid for them, and it is really only that $500,000 sarplus fund that causesthein to hang on now. They have a faint—a very faint—hove that this fund may be divided up. If itshould be used to pur- chase Planters’ House and other property upon which toerect an Exchange building, what a rush there would be to sell member- ships! There's no telling how cheap they would sell. They arecheap enough now, for one sold last week, dues unpaid, for $10. How the old-time broker and commission man looks back with regret at the comwmis- sions he formerly received for filling option orders. Away back, when St. Louis had no option trade of her own ingraih and did all her speculation in Chicago, they were charged Mec per bu, and besides that paid for all tele- graphic service. St. Louis, when she went into the business, charged Me commissions and pay for telegrams. Now it has got down so fine that a commission man is doing weil when he can collect 1-166 per bushel on op- tion orders, and some of them charge $2.50, and others as low as $1.25 a five. It is not sur- prising that several houses in the pit are said to be ‘‘bucket shopping’’ the orders they aregiven. They charge upon the ‘‘bucket shops’’ this decline in commission rates, but these shops appear tobe as hard up for business as the men on the Exchange floor, and as willing to take trades as cheaply. One local concern is —— trades with the under - standing that they will only charge We on grain and stock, where their customer makes a profit. - 2 = A certain speculator on was a bear on wheat—and he has been more frequently identified with the short than the long side of the marketin the past—was fond of telling with great glee alittle story of the man who started out to follow afuneral.

THE We Cannot Compete With the Cheap Land, Labor and Transportation of Rusia, India and the Argentine Republic—Prices 24 Per Cent Lower than in 1888—Little Encourage ment to American Farmers. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. | (Copyright. } HERE is little else, if anything, in which we are voluntarily or in- voluntarily more in- terested than in the price of Dread. Hence that of wheat. Is there anything new in relation to wheat prices? There is, indeed; or is going to be. It is only a few years since the United States dominated the wheat markets of the world, in 1879, 1880, 1881 and 1882. By that time India and Russia began to compete with us—the ‘‘pauper’’ wheat grow - ers of Southeastern Europe and Southern Asia, if you please. This threw the price- lever into the hands of the English, the chief purchasers of im- ported wheat, enabling them to sit still while India, Russia and the United States cut each other’s throats by underbidding each other. Since then, Australia, Chili and latterly Argentine Republic have entered the contest as wheat producersin excess of their home requirements, and the question of our future as a competitor ln the worid’s markets for the sale of wheat assumes very prominent pro- portions. At this time the situation in the domestic wheat markets is not particularly satisfactory to those who class themselves as ‘‘contita- tional bulls’’—those members of the trade who are firm believers in the intrinsic worth ofthe cereal, who are always ‘‘under the market’’ to hold it up. who carry the grain, and in this way perform the economic func- tion of holding one season’s surplus to meet the wants produced by A LEAN HARVEST. The price of wheat to-day is, orhas been, about 24 per cent less than it was one year ago, although the domestic crop is only 15 per cent larger than in 1888, with reported smaller supplies avaliable for export in Russia and India. This is the more striking when it is recalied that our reserve stocks atthe close of the last cereal year, July 1, 1889, (or, on August 1, following) ran down as iow as 35,000, 000 bu., ‘‘visa- ble and =invisible’’—that is, stocks in sight at various points of accumula- tion and stocks in farmers’ hands and else- where, not reported. There are some statisticians who place the reserves of August 1, 1889, atevena smaller total than I have given. This means that while our exports of wheat forthe tweive months ended Julyl, aggregated (including flour) about 90,000,000 busbels of wheat—less than for a number of years before, we are obliged to draw upon farmers’ bins and other reserves trom 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels in order to meet home and foreign requirements. Our crop of wheat last year, 415,000,000, was considerably under an average, too. This year, with probably 470 or 480,000,000 measured bushels of wheat, quite an average harvest, the season’s requirements will include an item to cover the 20,000,000 excessive depletion of the preceding twelve-month. On top of this came the reports of lighter export supplies in India and Russia prices have ranged DW to per cent below those of a year ago. The great wheat experts have thus far been at fault in their predictions or express- ions as to the probable course of prices. In England, Beerbohm, a leading authority, has not been committal, though manifestiy ex- pecting higher quotations. In Dornbusch’s circular, widely known in thegrain trade, the letters signed by Mr. H. Kalus-Jackson, have pronounced flatly in favor of the belief that the winter must bring HIGHER PRICES. William E. Bear of London, once editor of the Mark Express, has inclined to like views, particularly as Germany and France expect to have to buy some wheat this year from abroad. At home there have been honest differences of opinions among good judges for more or less plausible reasons, only one of which calls for special reference, to-wit, that there will be more than 2,000,000,000 bushels of wheat for export for the year ending July 1, 1890. The veriest boy in the grain trade should know this to be worse than absurd. Let me prove it to you. We will presume that the domestic grain crop for 1889 amounts to 480,000,000 bushels, probably larger, and that the quantity of wheat carried over last summer was about from the preceding crop. That total, certainly a liberal one, is based on r- sonal investigation. This would indicate a total supply with which to begin the current cro year amounting to about 515,000,000 busbels. The closest current estimates for wheat required for food at home average about 290,000,000 bushels, the quantity to be required for seed and for use in manufactures, about 67, 000, 000 bushels, or home require- ments 357,000,000 leaving about 158, - 000,000 bushels to export and carry over into the new crop year, July 1, 1890. Now, if we allow only 50,000,000 bushels to fill up last summer’s depleted reserves and to carry over into the senson of 1890-’91, there will remain availabte for export from July 1 last to June 30, 1890, about 108,000,000 busneis. Of course. if we can get along without carrying over’’ all of 50,000,000 bushels, we increase the quan- tity available for export by just that much, that at the outside one may such total, perhaps, at 118 or 20,000,000 BUSHELS. But shall we need that much? It does notl as if we should—that is, not now. For 883 five months of the current cereal year, July 1 to close of November, our exports of wheat (and of flour as wheat) have amounted tomore than 42,000, bushels as compared with 47,000,000 bushels in a corre- * portion of 1888. As Europe took t bulk of her wheat pure ™ us in the first five rather than last 1 F ona * — cereal year (our ex at year being only 90,000,000 bushels) it will de seen that, unless an unusual demand for our wheat shows itself in May and June, 1890, the prospect for 889-90 is for smaller 3 abip - ments than last year. Our exports afe 11 cent less than from June 30 to the end of Le- vember, 1888, and if they. maintain like pro- Portions until next summer total ce yéar’s shipments will not exceed 83,000,000 bushels. Soifthe United Stated are to have 108 or 118,000,000 bushels for export in the cur- rent year, shipments atthe rate majntained during nesrly one-half of it A to leave „000, 000 or more bushels of this quality on our hands. . a This is the view held by the bears. h supplies utterly fall to give any intimation of —1 r stocks of wheat on the high seas uropean ports and unexpected a on the part of importers at 1 naturally ald bears on w in the ‘United States—and the existing situation Ig ACCOUNTED on, we have ch van coun „ and the q itself—are we ta be supremacy, or is the dian ryot or the America to shut out well-equipped farmer WESTERN GRAIN States of North America?

His object traveling is to study the production of grain must in different countries, the freight tariffs and other matters connected therewith. I be greatly indebted to you for any informa- tion or assistance you would kindly give bim, ete, Dr. George Ruhland proved to bea charm- Ing talkerand an enthusiast on the subject which Prince Bismares commissioned htm to investigate. He has visited Russia, India and Australia, I think he said California, and thence to New York on his way home. He wished for data as to the growth of rail way mileage, the telegraph, the gradual deoline in interest rates since 1858, the farm mortgage buajiness and kindred topics, and was soon supplied to the extent of my resources. Aside from official publications and copies of one or two leading economile publications, Dr. Rushland took an interest in 8 papers by Edward Atkinson and David . Wells. : The German Commissioner frankly stated 1 wp former prominence of the United a world’s markets, was not, in his 22 due, as commonly explained, to fertile an cheap lands backed by pushing Individuals. Those characteristics might havea little to do with it but, if so, the United States is doomed as a competitor with Russian and Indian wheat, for the latter countries have vast regions of practically virgin soil, more fertile than our own wheat lands, and to he bad for little or no expense. Our cheap freight rates and elevated systems are important factors but India is ushing its, ra- ways and Rassia and Argentine their INTERIOR STRANGE BLEVATOR. The doctor is of the opinion thai the rapid extension of wheat production in the United States, and the ability to waintain it in the face of low prices, is due primarily to the rapid flow of capital to the soil in the form of loans. The ease and facility with which the American agriculturist can borrow money to tide him over poor seasons and to procure or other supplies, and the relatively low rate of interest at which he can accomplish this compared with farmers in other lands, are regarded as the keynote to the persistent fight which American wheat growers have made in the race by a lower civilization and there- fore tew and inexpensive wants. Just how the heavily mortgaged American farmer intends to escape his yoke, Dr. Ruhland did not have time to explain: but his to die overnment, when published, will prove of special interest here. The ac- tion of the Gernian Government in sending Dr. Ruhland on this mission is in direct line with the enterprise shown in its reorganized and enlarged navy and ite well-formed and, even to English minds, quite imposing schemes for colonization. The German first measures all hig material, plans his work down to the last coat of polish, and then goes to work. He is nothing if not thorough. Taking the surgestion of the traveling com- missioner of the German Government, who has investigated causes of excessive wheat production and the ability to sell it in compe- tition with semi-civilized peoples, for what it is worth, how does it weigh uponthe wheat- producing and exporting conditions prevail- R — outlined above? ithin afew years no radical changes are romised. But the conclusion is forced home rresistibly that loans will not enable the farmer to compete permanently against conditions which involve chen per land and lower cost ro- duction. The Argentine Republic. promised one day to become the center of the great wheat it of the Americas, probably in ad- vance of Kussia’s reaching any like promi- nence. Ten years from now it is extremely doubtful whether we cut as much of a figure in the world’s wheat markets as last year, or as we now promise to in 1890. But with a reduced domestic wheat area, and a greatly increased population, the ques- tion of the price of wheat assumes a new im- portance. ALBERT OC. STEVENS. Newspaper Fire.

[Written for the SunDAY PosT-DISPATcCa. ] [Copyrighted,1 ~ N THE WING, Nov. %4.— In seeking to elevate the stage by means of our justly celebrated entertainments, which I believe Mr. Thomas Bailey Aldrich has happily . characterized asa higher order of literary minstrelsy, we meet a good many peo- ple. We meet a great many ot them as we go to our work in the evening and when we come away, we meet others while on our way home. But those are not the ones I refer to especially. Irefer more especialiy to the eminent men whose homes are inthe cities we visit and who courteously shake hands with us and bid us God speed, often going so far as to intro- duce us to the audience. A little while ago we had Mr. Powderly on the platform with us and he took occasion to remind me that he was among my early sub- scribers to the old Laramie Boomerang, a paper which I had the honor of foundering some years ago. In the rush of scampering years I had forgotten it, but I remembered it ationce when he recurred to the fact. I did not Delilah Walked Of With Hu Hair. Femember the name of the other subscriber, but Leannot well forget Mr. Powderly beause he was the one who paid me. A man with a heart like that cannot help having friends and Terrence will find me ever grateful. Any time I can give him a good reading notice, I will be glad to doso. I may not be cursed with the fatal gift of beauty, but a man can be grateful without being beautiful. We aiso met the other day Mr. McKee, who has risen to the notice which he little courted or cared for, because he was the tather of Baby Mckee. He is a handsome, young man with a very straightforward way, which indicates his own worth, aside from the honor of being the father of Baby McKee. His case is a mild repetition of history. Judge Conkling was a man of recognized ability and this reputation was not confined to his own city or State. Once, however, he was intro- duced as the father of Roscoe Conkling. He said:. There was atime, gentlemen, when Iwas known as Judge Conkling, a man of some ability. Now, God help me, I am sim- ply the father of Roscoe Conkling.’’ Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine was one of the wiidly (elighted andience at our spectacu- lar show in Portiand the other evening. He still looks like a large guileiess boy ana at this writingIl am impressed with the idea that those who wish to catch the eye of the speaker this winter in Congress, willdo well to get the address of Mr. Reed. I heard two prominent men conversing with each other on Washington street, Boston, the other day, as to the relative demerits of Boston and Philadelphia. It was a good-natured ficht, but the language used was quite piain. Final- ly the Philadeiphia man said: ‘‘You Boston eople are too cold for me. Especially the usiness men. I know a Baltimorean man 22 — «4 We Rw manes I Wondered Why They Laughed. who has been in business bere for forty years, but hesays he is going back to Baltimore when his race is run, because he hates to die among strangers.’’ „Well.“ said the Boston man, anyone has a right to locate his death-bed where he dies, but for living purposes Boston seems to please @ great many people first-rate.

The doctor thought be ought not to worry about it. Said the case was not very severe yet or his pulse would show the effects of the loss of sleep. He prescribed for him and the man went home. Aftera week he came back. He was no better.’’ **Why,’’ says the doctor, you are in fair health. Your tongue is one of the most at- tractive tongues I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Your pulse, also, is the regu- lar Philadeiphia pulse, which we regard as the best working model of a chronometer balance, ops second und fiy-back pulse in the worid. I some very odd to me that you cannot sleep nights.’’ sleep nights?’’ says the Philadelphia man. Tush, tush. It is not that. I cannot sleep daytimes.’’ he other evening I went to the new and beautiful Tremont Theater in Boston to hear Signor Salvini in a delightful little skit calied ‘* It was written by Ipfoolits D' Aste aud translated by William Dean Howels, au- thor ot April Hopes. I think the play has been atly improved by translation. It seems to appeal much more strongly tome at least, The reason that the author did not write the play in rag al at first, was that he cidn’t D’ Aste do it I presume. The Tremont Theater is very tast@fully and beautifully made up now. The colors are soft ang subdued, the lights gentle anu restful and the effect extremely graceful to the eye.

The sew- ing machine used by Delilah in the second act is from the well-known factory of Messrs.Tuck- er & Feller of Milk street. The shears used by Delilah in gnawing off the hair of Samson are from the hardware store of Shingle, Nail & Co. of East Boston. The shampoo mixture used afterward and the hair encourager which starts the giant’s new hair, come from the well-known tonsorial emporium ot Measrs. Confersezzione Bros. Sat Why go into detail. - The play opens withan argument, which is read by those who wish to know more about says, all of which is in Italian. It appears that at the time of the incident the Jews were under subjections to the Philis- tines and discriminated against them in the matter of rates on freight, both through and way freight. If they wanted to examine a car load of Jewish freight and it happened to be sealed up, they would break it open in the yard and then report it ‘‘in bad order.’’ The Philistines had picked on the Jews till atience ceased to be virtuous. Samson bad een regarded as a sort of middie weight champion, he had failed somehow to do what they had expected of him. He had talked a good deal down atthe store about what he could doand how he had run his hand down the hot and fever- ish throat of an irritated lion and turned him wrong side out so quickly that before he could recover from the surprise, he had caught such a cold in his exposed digestive economy that he died from his injuries. Samson had therefore shaken the confidence of those who were about him and people were beginning to clamor fora new giant, In the first act we see Zorah, a high table land which gives upon the plain below. ManylIsraelites are discovered assembled around a biazing pyre, furnished by the Boston Guslight 4 Coke Co. Manoah, aremarkable man with white lamb- skin eyebrows, opened the play with prayer. The odor of incense arises from time to time, varied by the wulf ot cardamon seeds from the front row. The people are dressed in Oriental bath robes and rich smoking gowns from Askelen, and over against Twenty-third strvet while they are discussing him and his failure to sign articles for a set-to with the Philistines, Sam- son appears suddenly among them, dressed ina hectic smoking jacket and carrying over his arm the tanned peilt ofa lion. 6 Ad- dresses them briefly la Italian, to which they reply in English. Sig Salvini takes the part of Samson in this play and is said to be as good a tragedian as ever acted out on the stage. I cannot give his exact language here, but it was very good indeed Ithought. Idid not find the place in my libretta, however, till the next to the last act and then the lights were all turned off so that I could not get at the drift of his remarks exactly. Ste Salvini is a large, powerful looking man withadeep voice and large sub-chest. He wears a long, black wig, wherein his muscle is supposed to reside. In an evil hour he meets a Philistine girl named Delilah who has been a great deal talked about and falls in love with her. He speaks to her in italian, to which she replies in good English. All their courtship is con- ducted in this way without the aid of an in- terpreter. Finally to quiet the tongue of gos- sip he marries Delilah and they take a little bridal tour by camel. In the meantime he proposes a riddle to the Philistines, which they are about to give up when the idea of securing the co-operation of Delilah occurs to them. They give her a new tea gown and she, while Samson is sleeping off a large jag. goes to his trunk, finds the oke book from which it is taken and telle the hilistines the answer. This naturally a Sig. Samson, who starts out and kills quſte a quantity of Philis- tines with the jaw bone of a man named Veritas. They do not mind being killed, of course, so much as they do the humiliation of having their names knocked out by the jaw bone of a man who had none himself. One of the saddest scenes is the one where Delilah, in order to secure some valuable sil- erwareé and clothing, seeks out the secret of amson’s great strength. She speaks very pleasantly to him and gives bim a Manhattan eocktail which he ought to know would go to bis head, for there is about a quart of it, Gradually Samson gets more talkative and finally he becomes siéepy. Before he goes to sleep, however, he manages to tell what rhe knows, which does not take him but a little while. She sends ont for a pair of shears and while the orchestra softly playe Chippy, Get Your Delilah docks him. Finally he wakes and feeis real miserable. He calis De- lah a ‘‘hukster of filtby kisses’’—‘*‘ Vendi- trice de Lozzi baci questo capo mio“ are his exact words at this time.

His hands are manacied together with a trick chain which he breaks when he re- members that his hairis gown. He now sees a way to fulfill the pr phecy made at his birth, for while the Philistines are dan queting in the temple he can hear their laugh- ter and the stories of the after-dinner speak- ers as they take advantage of the drunk- enness of the peole, to tell them some feeble anecdotes of the prehistorio variety. He knows that thousands of these people are there and as the jaw bone of Old Pro Bono Publico is not at hand, he laya hold of the paper mache pillare of the temple and by a dextrous movement brings down the house.

HE cloister of Trappists, to-day existing in Kentucky, and known as the Abbey of Getusemane, owes ite direct origin to the Abbey of La Meilleraye of the Departements Lo ire-Inferieure, in France. The abbot of the latter had made an ar- rangement with the French Government to lay the foundation for a convent of their order on property situated on the Island of Martinique, and donated to them by Louis Philippe. After the down-fall of his regime the original plan was abandoned in favor of a colony in the United States. In 1848 two of the Fathers started on a yoy- age to New York with the Intention of finding a favorable location, and naturally turned their eyes toward the Catholic settiements of 0 built of stone, is three stories high, heated by stoves a lighted gas.

Upon entering the latter we are at once reminded of the Vow of poverty taken by the Trappists. Thechasubies are simple and devold of all ornamentation, and the un- ostentatious decorations of the altar correspond fall the simplicity of the vestments. @ crucification scene, which forms the back-ground of the altar, consists ot wooden figures, which one of the monks bas carved and painted tn alinost a primitive manner. Whatever beauty the church itself possesses is brought about partly by the magnificent form the stones used in its construction, and the manner in which its lofty columns are arranged; but the somber gray, which spreads over it all, reminds us, that we are in aplace sought by burdened sinners, who kneel in humble contrition be- fore the Eternal. Outside of the churéh un- der the shadow of its cross is found the still, garden-like cemetery, where the dead rest side by side under the perennial green of the myrrh. Each pare is marked with a modest wooden cross, bearing the convent name, and indicating the office which the silent sleeper occupied. We read: it than they can gather from what Sig.

From there they went by boat to Louisville, and thence to Gethsemane, a distance of about sixty miles. The Trappists possess but two monasteries in the United States—the above mentioned, which is the oldest, and one near Dubuque, Io., a branch of the Abbey of Ire- land. The dominions of the Abbey of Gethsemane comprise about 700 acres of land, part of which ie cultivated, the other consisting of extensive woodland hilis, which furnish tne timber for the steam saw-mill of the monas- tery. In the midst of this area are found the settlements of farmers. The monastery itself is reached by following a long avenue, inclosed on each side by a cedar bedge, and shaded by a row of magnificent En- glish elms, all of which were grown from one original tree. Wandering through this delightful avenue’s wondrous quiet, interrupted but now and then by the soft rustling of the tree-tops, and the half-hushed twitter of the birds nestling ‘in their branches, one reaches the porter’s Father Timotheus, Bro. Hilarius, Bro. Eutropius, etc., etc. Who are they? Whence came they? What are the names they bore upon the play-grounds and battlefields of the world outside?

OF THE GENTLER SEX. and the Use of Opium—Some Cass That Have Occurred in St. Louis—Warnings' That It Would Be Well for Women to Heed—A Growing Evil. [Written gor the SUNDAY PostT-DIsparon. ] EARS ago few Ameri- can women smoked, drank intoxicating jiquors, or were so de- pendant upon the use of chloral, bromides or morphine to steady their nerves. Very occasionally a com- munity was horrified by some woman drink- ing too much and some old women occasion- ally indulged in smok- 2 inga pipe, but a vic- tim to the use of nar- cotics was hardly ever heard of. The drinking women were generally of the Sairy Gamp style, seldom ladies. Now, however, attention of the public fs often drawn to many sad cases and nearly every druggist could a customers. Even in the smaller towns and lets but have at least one such case. Temper- ance lectures are generally levelled at men but these habits are becoming so prevalent among females that even with the secrecy the morphine habit new victims are becoming eration and the craving for excitement is becoming so general that the situation is of tbe gravest character. It strikes at the root of goodness, vurity and truth. The habit of stimulants causes women of good character, well-known probity and the highest refine- ment to becoms such slaves and so degraded by the chains that bind them that to hide their fault and procure the drug they cannot live without they will falsify, deceive and even steal in some cases. The disease, for that it probably is, not only strikes at the morals of Phy- whisky drunkards are stupid, afflicted with brain trouble, often idiots. Experience and that vice is inherite drunkard is the hereditary inebriate. The Bible also teaches that the sins of the fathers descend upon the third and fourth generations. And this we find to de sadly true. There have been many warning written upon this subject and one cannot and the worst and pains of opium without trembling with horror at the terribie power for pleasure and pain contained ina bottle of laudanum. He took for many yeurs , 7,000 DROPS of laudanum a day and would have it put upon a table inadecanter and drink it from a wine wiass. The bitter taste was lost in the pleasant effects, the visions of exquisite biiss caused by the juice of the poppy. Women generally form the habit without knowing the terribie consequences. They believe that they are only taking a medicine to ease pain, and that they will never become slaves to the med- icine. Alas, they do not know bow powerful a foe they are tampering with. The habit so easily formed is the hardest of all habits to break, because the suffering entailed is so in- tense. The nerves beceme so dependent upon opium that to leave it off suddenly after using it habitually causes the most intenge agony and restlessness that the human mind can conceive. The opium babit creeps upon its victim like a thief in the night, and, unlike whisky, its effects are not 8 nor does its punishment come Bo guic One addicted to opium eating has kept the fact secret from a room-mate for years.

He was so im per- haps with the odor of the weed he did not notice the habit in bis wife, especialiy as she took great pains to conceal it from him. Finally this lady begun taking chloral. One night she took a larger dose than usual for she was found dead next morning lying across the foot of the bed dead, the empty bottle near. Notwithstanding these weaknesses she was & gifted woman. Her friends think that she died of heart disease and often speak of her virtues and deplore her untimely end. Beer drinking among women ‘s a very com- mon habit’in St. Louis and other cities too, though some ons seem to think it a habit lar to St. Louis. Aiady living in St. ulis began by drinking one glass daily by 4 physician’s advice. Sending a pitcher to a saloon she often had three glasses sent back for5 cents. From drinking a glass she got to drinking several and soon became intemperate in habits. She was a charming woman and the mother of a lovely girl, much admired in St. Louis. The husband, astonished and mortified, remonstrated, but in vyain. In those days this woman was a member of the church, highly respected and beloved by many, forshe had a wonderful magnetism and attraction. Now she has lost all of her refinement, her influence over friends and family, and is a dishonor to her sex. Another case which occurred in St. Louis was that of the daughter of a clergyman, and the wife of a man well-known. After marriage the husband found his wife given to indul- gence in strong drink, but being much in love with her, for she was a beautiful and cultured woman, he set about reforming her with A DEVOTION that was beautiful and a patience super- human. He tried again and again to assist ber in leaving off her degrading habits; but the habit was stronger than her love for bim or her self-respect. She sat insensible from drink and narcotics by the bed of her dying chiid, and at last died herself a victim to her own excesses. How many examples there are around us if we oply knew it. Cases at tributed to Il health, sickness and other eauses than the person’sown bad_habits. Only one given to the habits or fagiillar with its signs can imagine the horror of the opium habit. The erroneous idea that — . persons have of it is that itis an occasional vice like whisky drinking. From the nature of the drug it clings and gets the poor unfortunate who tampers wi it completely dependent upon the dose for any —— at mind or rest. There is no rest from the abit; no, itis master always, never the slave. It is such a steadily growing habit that the poor victims themselves, knowing their own degradation and slavery, all others from a like fate. most prominent and gifted actresses of the day is dependent upon opium for every Dreath of rest or peace she draws. Between the acts of the tragedy this envied wom of genius must have the little hypodermic syringe ready to put into her blood what has become her life, without which there would be no inspiration of genius strong enough to put away from her the tortures of the nerves calling for their master, opium. A lady living in St. Louis went away from the city to spend a summer in the, mountains, and while she was away she got out of morphi ne. She had been taking what she considered a small dose every morning and night for years. She had been so secret about it that her bus- band never dreamed that she was a victim to any habit or owed her deep, calm repose to any foreign substance except to nature.

She could not get any more mmediately, forshe was miles from any vnn lage or drug store and had no messen- gor or way to ride herself to get the drug. hen her secret was dear to her and rather than bave the habit known she concluded to stand the inconvenience caused by — without.

When evening came she beganto feel very strange and restiess, and her nerves bean to cry out for her accustomed stimulant. She was suf- fering acute ony by midnight and went herself two miles to the nearest neighbors see if they had 8 laudanum or even «oric to enable her to endure the suffering until morning. When she found that nothing could be found she even thought of walking ten miles to a drug-store, and only the intense alt agony and weakness de- terred her from this wild scheme. She re- turned to her room and she raved in her agony until daylight, her eyes starting from the sockets, the cold 1 pene from every pore of her suffering y, col chills, intense restlessness, and even sneez- ing and gaping every few seconds withoutany relief. She ran outto anegro cabin at the first streak of dawn and offered a messenger gi to get her a bottle ot laudanum by 8 o’clock the nearest town. He set out on his horse, and when he got within two miles of home she was coming to meet him. She took the bottle and, holding it up, sald: Thank God! here is relief for my. oe NG SUFFERI 1 and, putting it to ber lips, drank from the bottle. Since then she will never go tothe country.

Her Ideas on the Silver Question—A Debu- tante’s Thanksgiving Party—Soeme Opin- ions on an Old Subject—Recipes for the Care of the Hair, Valuable to Both the Young and the Old. [Written for the SuNDAY Posd-DIsPaTCH. ] EAREST EMI LY—I be- lieve the Silver Con- vention and Thanks- giving turkey have about equally divided public attention dur- ing the past week. We have had allver served at our house morning, noon and night, figtr- atively speaking I mean; practically it has not been more abundantly supplied ack talksso knowingly about it all that one might Imagine he owned a mint and had carte blanche to coin all that he wanted. Mr. Oldbeau, with whom I have made friends again, tried heroically to ex- piain to me what was meant by sound money, free coinage, the inwardness of the Bland bill, the necessity of a permanent organiza- tion, the memorial to be sent to Congress and ever so many more things but the gray matter of my brain was not eqtal to the task of absorbing so much information at once. Jack was quite enthusi- astic over the speech of Mr. Fitch, which he said was punctuated with applause, and I replied that I thought applause would make very nice punctuation marks, but he paid no attention to the interruption and went on enlarging upon the speech until I again ventured a remark that I should like to have heard the silver-tongued orator on such a silvery subject, when he looked up impa- tiently as it he really suspected me of trying to perpetrate apun. Lam going to read up on the silver quéstion and see ifI cannot find out what is meant by the demonétization o Silver, vontrol of the monometallists, Wall street cabal and allof the other phrases that have been flying around during the week. I do not think that we will be able to buy more for one of the reconstructed“ silver dollars than we can now for an old one or a paper dollar, but in some way not very clear to me the country will de benefited by the change, and the prices of things that you want are going down and the prices of things that you have to sell are going up, that is if you have anything to sell, Ie the farmers and manufacturers. The most pleasant feature of the convention was the promenade concert and hop given at the Merchants’ Exchange. It is all well enough for the men to have all the business to themselves but when it comes to entertaining their guests they have to call on the feminine haif of creation. You have been to so many assemblies at the Exchange that a description would hardly interest you, but I must tell you about the handsome young delegate whom I met at the beginning of the evening and whom I felt that I knew very well indeed at its close. Rather arapid friendship, but then he was from the West, and von know they do things in a hurry there, all on account of the ozone in the atmosphere that stimulates one’s ener- gies so wonderfully, so Mr. Argent said. Charlie Argent—ttiat is his name and he lives in a place called Three Licks. He graduated at Harvard ten years ago and went West to —— up with the country ala Horoece Greeley ecause, ashetold me (we got quite confi- dential) his lungs needed expanding and 80 did his purse,and be thought that both objects might be aecomplished at the same time. He said that the population of his metropolis is divided into rich men, poor men and workingmen, and that the most useful city official is the Cor- oner. Old people are never seen, partly be- cause the citizens seek the effete East to spend their fortunes and partly because ofa law ngulnst carrying concealed weapons, which makes it imperative on the inbabitants to use them openly. There are only three young ladies in that interesting place—one who sings every day to an accordion accompaniment that she wants to be an angel in a way that moves everybody with a wild impulse to grant her wish, another who wears false bungs that do not match her back hair, and whose young days would make ex- tremely: ancient history, and the third, avicentiy the favorite, who dispenses consoia- tion for the inner man, not in the capacity of hostess at the only hotel in Turee Licks. The Weather was not allthat one could wish by aly means during the stay of our Visitors. I suppose that the weatbér bureau man thought that as there was so much silver being taiked ofthat he — send on a few elouds to re- ceive the proverbial silver lining. Thanksgiving way. was the first reaily cold day of the season. The snow was flying when lawoke inthe morning inaway mere sug- stive of Christmas than Thankegiving. verybody went tochurch inthe morning, and as all of the ministers preached patriotic germons, I suppose hed ee added to the list of things to be thankful for, the great rivilege of being an American citizen. Aunts presided with her usual grace and dig- nity over the regulation dinntr, and in the evening I wentto a party at Mrs. E wald’s on Pine street, given h honor of her daughter Denise, whois also a debutante. I had a lovely time and so did every body ee who was there. Refreshments were served all during the evening, and between the dances frozen punch was served. Miss Denise Ewald looked like a picture in a soft gray Henrietta, decollete and sleeveless. Vivac- ious Miss Lalitte Bauduy, who seems to be enjoying her first season to ite fullest, wore a dainty white china silk. Miss Thompson of Morgan street, was girlish andlovely in pale biue. Miss Hebe Wise and Miss Tudie Kaime looked unusually sweet in full ball toilette, but I have no time to describe any more costumes. Aufitie attended a large ball at the Lindell which she said was quite an enjoyable one. Jack says that Thanksgiving Day is almost as nice as Christ- mas, and not nearly so hard on a fellow’s pocketbook. Weddings are still in the lead among the so- cialevents, and one hears matrimony dis- cussed from every conceivable point of view. A beautiful girl who lives on Pine street says that love in a cottage may be 132 poetic, but that she does not think it would be very com- fortabie unless the cottage had all of the mod- ern improvements and wal situated on a fashionable street, and in that case it micht ust as well be called a house. A pretty little londe, who is rich enough to have nearly anything she fancies, remarked that she thought a cozy little t was tne nearest approach to Arcadian simplicity that one could have in acity. A bride of a year sagely informed us that the happiness of mar- ried life depended a good deal on the cook, and that if a dessert which was intended to be a dream in pastry came a mae f a reality in soft dough, a bad temper was apt to bs devel- oped, = ong with symptoms of drspepsia. Another bride declared that marrirze even as a failure was far better than sirgle blessed- ness as a success, but everybody id not agree to that. Adele says that in Fugland atten- tions must mean intentions or they are cut short on short order bys stern papa ora prudent mamma. Poor Hnglish girls know nothing about the fascination of sitting out a dance on the stairway, carrying on a littie lirtation—I nope you are not shocked—Mr. Jidbeau says that I act very much like my elder sister did durir.g her first season. Several popular girls are spending the winter elsewhere. iss Madge Barney has one with her sister to China, iss Mae Ku hy is in Florida, Miss Annie Webb left on the boat Friday evening for New Orieans, and 7 three others are going South right after holidays. | Friday afternoon I attended Mrs. Johnson's class which meets at the Lindell to ba entered m at home, 3 a margin observations. » Wells, w ov silvery hair and the fascinating ers of me od ime, Was one of the * of 1 tl 11 ts N evening, and carried . a og 7 Tie Uy * of novels.

I attended aconundrum party tne other offthe second per resent 12 conundrum, which no one heard before, and which Ithink is pretty han enough to remember,I will give for benefit. ‘‘Why will our flag last ion that of any other nation?’’ The answer Is: The lily may droop and its leaves decay (Fran The rose from its stem may sever (England); ce), The shamrock and thistle may fade away (Ireland But the stars shine on forever (United States). The other day I came across a queer bi nonsense in an old French book of Auntie’s which is either very funny or very as you look at it, entitled The Map of On this map the course of love is marked out, and very minutely too. First is shown the „Lake of Indifference,’’ on the shores of which are the hamiets of admiration and respect; from these the course leads on to the Iam very sorry your hair is giving you so much trouble. Auntie says that she a that 77 do not persevere in the habit of brushing it thoroughly every day, a practice which she declares is absolutely indispensable to a healthy suit of hair. She sends you two recipes; the first is for dandruff and was pre. scribed by a celebrated physician for a friend of hers, and was warranted a sure cure:’ Salts of tartar,3 draehms. Tincture of cantharides. 15 drops. Spirits of camphor, 15 drops. Lemon juice, % pint villages of Notes of Invitation,“ **Good Times,’’ ‘‘Complaisance,’ -«Submission, ‘*Attentions,’’ ‘‘Assiduity,’’ then the towns of ‘‘Congeniality’’’ and Mutual Appre- clation,’’ situated in the same region with the City of Tenderness,’’ which is built on the „River of Inclination, which flows into the „% Dangerous Sea, on the shores of which is the Haven of Rest, meaning marriage of course. 1 am afraid that my translation is not as absurd as the original, but you can imagine the sort of compliments the old French gal- lants paid the Patrician dames who powdeére d their hair and wore stiff brocades and high- heeled siippers in the gay salon of a Madame Racamfer, according to this old map, Imagine amodern American youth getting off such stuff, 1 think that our nineteenth century love- making must be muvh nicer. In preparing this wash the salts should be dissolyed in the lemon juice tlil the effer- . vesoence ceases, and then the other in- gredients should be added, and the whole left uncorked in the open air fora half an hour, and then a perfume can be added if desired and the mixture is ready for use. The second is said to be infallible for ar- resting falling halr, and was originally given to some Baron whose name I have forgotten, or never knew, by a physician in Paris. Boxwood shavings, 6 oz. Proof spirit, 12 oz. Spirits of rosemary, 2 oz. Spirits of nutmegs, 1d oz. The boxwood shavings should be left to steep in the proof spirit for ten days or two weeks ina moderately warm room, then the liquid should be strained off and the other ingredients added. The scalp should be thor- oughly rubbed with this twice a day, that is every morning and evening, for the first two weeks and then once a day afterwards as long as needed. The climate probably has something to do with the condition of your hair. Auntie Says never upder any circumstances use strong soup on vour hair, as it rots it and turns the color to a dirty looking faded yel- low, and that soap ofany kind should be sparingly used. So much for your hair—too much to permit of my telling you a big secret, which, as I vennot keep mach longer with any degree of comfort, shall have to contide to some one else. Au revolr.

The handsome corridors and rooms were ablaze with tinted lights and agiow with the rarest flowers. Roses and ferus banked the mantele and were twined about the chandeliers, ascreen of the same hiding the musicians, who played in the main hall. A most unique feature was the Gypsy repast. When supper was announced the little guests dropped simultaneously to the ground just on the Spot where each had stood, and inthis Romany fashion refresh- ments of every kind were served to the 100 children. The picture of the giris in their brightly tinted dressesand the boys in their evening suite grouped about the floors in this unconventional style was very pleasing. The dark-eyed hostess, Miss Florence Rea Rock- well, wore an exquisite gown of imported embroidered muslin with broad pink moire sash and pink effects throughout. Miss Del- phine Lore, a mrecian toilette of buttercup — silk with pieturesque drapery. Miss azie Scott, claret color velvet combined with shrimp pink. Miss Clara Ewald, cream white Cnina silk with draperies of the same. Miss Caroline Newman, white China silk with tulle skirts. Miss Edith Champlin, mahogany silk combined with old gold. MRS. BURNET’S BREAKFAST. The breakfast given on Wednesday by Mrs. Haisted Burn t was a most unique and deau- tiful affair, maintaining the repntation of the hostess for the originality and attractiveness of her entertainments. Her lovely Queen Anne hail was a bower of pink roses and the dining-rooms were fragrant with the breath of hyacinths and roses. In the regular dining-room a large table at which twenty-five guests were séuted wus presided over by Mrs. Burnet. the parlor and library were placed other tables, presided over by George Plant, Miss Mattie Plant, Mise Sadie Seils and Miss Annie Daughaday. In the center of each table was placed a can- delabrum, the lights shaded by colored silk shades, tinted and fringed to match thefiow- ers, in one room pink, another red and a third lavender, etc. At the table presided over by Miss Sadie Selis the candelabrum was sur- rounded by a bed of pink roses in eight compartments, to exch of which was attached a large bow of pink satin ribbon. At Miss Flant s table the decorations were ed carnations with red ribftons, and the red candles were shaded by red silk shades. At Miss Annie Daughaday’s table the deco- rations were pink with pink chrysanthemums and ribbons. At Mrs. Burnet’s table the decoration’ were lavender chrysanthemums and lavender ‘rib- bons; at Mre.Piant’s table the decoration ere yellow chrysanthemums and yellow ribbons and shades. After the repast these flowers and ribbons were distributed to the ladies and the large bows of ribbon placed upon their left shoulders made pretty and effective fa- vors. a Mrs. Burnet wore a lovely Paris tea gown of old gold piush en traine over a full puffed front of cashmere embroidery in the same shade as the gown ; — 2 sleeves of the plush. Mrs. Plant wore Diack Chantilly lace with orange trimmings. Miss Selis wore pure white cashmere with round neck and soft draperies.

Special Correspondence of SCNDAY POST-DISPATCH. N [Copyrighted. NEW YORK, Nov. 28. HERE is no prettier picture in any New York house than that presented by Mrs. Levi P. Mor- ton, surrounded by her five fair daugh- ters. She is a beau- tiful woman, nc yet quite 85 years of age, though many people think her older, because her Pa? “hair iswhite. This @ is not the result of age, but of pain; for Mrs. Morton has been for many years a sufferér from neuraigia. The effect of her soft, fluffy bang is very pretty. Mrs. Morton is not an extravagant woman, but her taste is exquisite, and some of the new dresses which she will wear in Washing- ton this winter are marvels of richness and beauty. ‘‘Ido not buy many imported dresses, she said to me yesterday. ‘‘I really think our New York dressmakers turn out some of the prettiest gowns in the world.’’ And vo they do, if one may judge from Mrs. Morton’s wardrope. For indoor wear, she has some Very stylish little jackets, made of velvet, in dainty colors. The morning I called upon her she wore one of copper brown with a Figaro front, scarcely deeper than aj yoke, that fell over a biouse ffbut of soft ecru silk, figured with tiny Persian devices. It was held in at the waist by a velvet girdle. One of her breakfast dresses isof bisque- biue camel’s hair, lined wien with pale pink surah. It has long pligrim sieeves falling to the floor, similarly lined. The front la et silk, daintily smocked at the throat, and fastened at the waist with a silver girdle. A tea gown is made 6f brocaded silk as soft as surah. It is tied in front with broad hand- some ribbons, and a deep ‘‘Kendal’’ collar of fine point lace is turned away from the low cut throat. One ot her prettiest dinner Gresses is of heavy yellow satin, brocavted with clusters of purple grapes, the demi-train of dark pur- ple velvet. The bodice is pointed back and front, .SHIRRED AT THE SHOULDERS and drawn softly down tou pointin front, where it is ed with bands of velvet. The sleeves reach the wrists, and are as wae this dress will be worn a splendid set of ame- thysts, mounted upon gol of necklace and „ Carrings, b tiara. The fan that matches this costume is gf magnificent purpie piumes. Among Mrs. Morton’s reception dresses, the one which I fancy fashion writers will bave most to say about this winter is a combina- tion of black velvet, lace and jet. The bodice is of velvet and reaches — up to the arm- its, where it is finished with — 1 points. t just meets in the front and away in — — 4 saw-teeth to the waist line, where it points doWn into a reguiar coat 9 with jet, and sweeps out ina train trom waist. The whole front ie at the finest silk embroidered with fet. The worn — this — au ec vet flowers. rea lea inted tabs of the pené long pole has 6 — — — — GUWNS FOR MRS. MORTON, | and Market 6 roadway. eight inches broad. A long tight-fitting coat, - open in front, dnd slashed on the sides, up te the hips, has a broad roiling collar of the fur, and bands of it are placed around the sleeves at the wrist and just above the elbow. Last winter Mrs. Morton wore an exquisite costume of white lace heavily trimmed with ostrich feathers. This yearshe has the cos- tume almost reproduced, except that now it is trimmed with white fur. Among her winter wraps is a Russian gar- ment made of dars mahogany velvet shot with gure. The large otter cloak is bordered with beaver fur and falls away from the figure at each side like great wings, lined with vivid flame color. A cloak of gray green velvet bas sleeves of a very beautiful fabric, covered with man colored embroidery in Persian effects. superb passementerie, exactly matching this material, is placed where the sleeyes are joined to the mantle, so that it falls on THE GREEN VELVET. There is an 61d pointed yoke and fichu-ilke collar of the same around the throat. This mantie is only for evening wear. The handsomest of Mrs. Morton’s wraps is a long garment of dark, moss-green velvet made surtout style, with rich trimming o Alaska sable, a deep Russian collar of this fur nearly covering the-shouiders. She does not share the taste for the large **picture’’ hats of velvet laden with ostrich plumes, but wears instead close- fitting toques, or round turbaus, made to match her cos- tumes. Mrs. Morton has recent! tire dining service, including china, cut glass, silver and linen. The china is the finest Havi- land, and is colored almost entirely a dark mahogany red, which is relieved by scroll pat- terns ofgilt. Thesilver is of very massive design, very much like the patterns used a hundred years ago. In the matter of table covering, Mrs. Mofton does not incline to- wards the table spreads of embroidered silk or satin, which are now so popular. She prefers, rather, the colored decoration. Some of ber sets, however, are marvels of needlework, which is done by drawing the threads aod working in intricate lace patterns. Her tray clothes and bouffet scarfs are all made after the same fashion, having, in addition to the neediework, heavy knotted fringe. r. Morton bas taken as hie Washington residence a large house near Mr. Biaine’s, bulit by a wealthy Ualifornia widow and com- pleted less than two years ago, but 8 vacated by the death of its mistress. It is all furnished, ready for occupancy. Mrs. Morton will take with her own co of servants, and there,as here, the household arrange- ments will be ander her personal supervision.

Ithad grown dark on Burnt Ridge. Seen from below the whole serrated crest that had giittered in the sunset as if its interstices were eaten by consuming fires, now closed up its ranks of blackened shafts and became again harsh and somber chevaux de frise against the sky. A faint glow still lingered over the red valley road, as it it were its own refiec- tion, rather than any light from beyond the darkened ridge. Evening was already creep- ing up out of remote canons and along the “* sowed flanks ofthe mountain, or settling he nearer woods with the slow home- ting of innumerable wings. At a point tire the road began to. encroach upon the 4ntain side in its slow winding ascent the kness had become so real that a young .Cantering along the rising terrace found iculty in guiding her horse, with eyes still zzied by sunset fires. An spite ot her precautions the animal sud- nly shied at some object in the obscured adway and nearly unseated her. The acci- int disclosed not only the fact that she ‘a8 riding in a man’s saddle, but a foot and wwkle that her ordinary walking-dress was oo short to hide. It was evident that her equestrian exercise was extempore, and that at that hour on that road she had not ex- pected to meet company. But she was ap- parentiy a good horsewoman, for the mis- chance that might have thrown 4 less prac- _ tleal or more timid rider seemed of little mo- ment to her. With a strong hand and de- _ termined gesture she wheeled her frightened horse back into the track and rode him di- “rectly at the object. But there she herself slightly recoiled, for it was the body of a man lying in the road. sshe leaned forward over her horse’s . she could see by the dim light that he was a miner, and that, though motionless, be was breathing stertorously. Drunk, no doubt lan accident ofthe locality alarming only to nerhorse. But although she cantered _impatiently forward, she had not proceeded a hundred yards before she stopped refiectively | and trot ed back again. He had not moved. She could now see that his head and shoulders . were covered with broken clods of earth and gravel, and smaller fragments lay at his side. A dozen feet above him on the hillside there Was afoot trail which ran parallel with the Dbridle-roaa, and occasionally overhung it. It Seemed possible that he might have tallen from the trail and been stunned. 'Dismounting, she succeeded in dragging him to a safer position by the bank. The act @iscovered his face, which was young and un- knowntoher. Wiping jt with the silk hand- Kkerchief, which was loosely slung around his meck after the fashion of his class, she gave a gulck feminine glance around her and then pproached her own and rather handsome enearhis lips. There was no odor of al- soho! in the thick and heavy respiration. Ounting again, she rode forward at an in- Sreased pace, and in twenty minutes had feached a higher tableland of the mountain, i cleared opening inthe forest that showed igns of careful cultivation, and a large, ram- — ING ZZ 2 BEA ness, albeit worn by repotition, In the young irl’s deep, honest voice thatfor one instant er two more emotional relatives qualled be- fore it; but only for a moment. ‘‘That’s right!’’ shrilled the old woman. ‘‘Go on and abuse your own brother. It’s only the fear you have that he’ll make hie fortune yet and shame you before the father and mother you despise.’’ The young girl remained standing by the window, motionless and apparently passive, as if receiving un accepted and usual punish- ment. But here the elder woman gave way to sobs and some incoherent snuffling, at which the younger went away. Whether she recognized in her mother’s tears the or- dinary deliquescence of emotion, or whether, as a woman herself, she knew that this mere feminine conventionality could not possibly be directed at her, and that the actual con- flict between them had ceased, she passed siowly on toan inner ball, leaving the male victim, her untortunate father, to succumb, as he always did sooner or later, to their in- finence. Crossing the hail, which was decor- ated with a few elk horns, Indian trophies and mountain pelts, she entered avother room and closed the door behind her with a gesture of relief. The room, which looked upon a porch, pre- sented a singular combination of masculine business occupations and feminine taste and adornment. A desk covered with papers, a shelf displaying a ledger and account books, another containing works of reference, a table with a vaseof flowers aud a lady's riding whip upon it, a map of Califoraia flanked either side by an embroidered silken workbag and an oval mirror decked with rasses, a calendar and interest-table hanging elow two school-girl crayons of classic heads, with the legend, ‘‘Josephine Forsyth fecit’’—were part of its Incongruous accesso- ries. The young girl went to her desk, but presently moved and turned towardthe win- dow thoughtfully. The last gleam had died from the stee)]-biue sky; afew lights like star points began toprick out the lower valley. The expression of monotobous restraint and endurance had not yet faded from her face. Yet she had been accustomed to scenes like the one she nad just passed through since her girlhood. Five years ago Alexander Forsyth, her uncle, had brought her to this spot—then a mere log cabin onthe hillside—as a refuge from the impoverisbed and shiftiess home of his elder brother Thomas and his ill-tempered wife. Here Alexander Forsyth, by reason of his more dominant character and business ca- pacity, had prospered until he became a rich and influential ranch owner. Notwithstand- ing her father’s jealousy of Alexander's for- tune, and the open rupture that followed between the brothers, Josephine retained ner position in the heart and home of her uncle without espousing the cause of either; and her father was too prudent not to recognize the neer and prospective advan- tages of such a mediator. Acoustomed to her parent’s extravagant denunciations, and her Luncle’s. mere represted but practical spans tempt ofthem, the unfortunate girl eariy de- veloped a cynical disbeillef in the virtues of One ..accns ated digits. Burnt Ridge Ranch they alone took it upon themselves to represent the shattered domes- tic altar and its 1 Lares and Penates. So conscientiously d th perform their task as to even occasionaily impede the busi- ness visitor to the ranch and to cause some of the more practical neighbors to seriously doubt the young girl’s commercial wisdom. But she was firm. Whether she thought her parents a necessity of respectabie domesticity or whether she regarded their presence in the light of a penitential ‘atonement for some previous disregard of them, no one knew. Public opinion inclined to the latter. The biack line of ridge faded out with her abstraction and sheturned from the window and lit the lamp on her desk. The yellow light illaminated her face and figure. In their womanly graces there was no trace of what some people belleved to be a masculine char- acter, except a singularly frank look of critical inquiry and patient attention in her dark eyes. Her long, brown hair was some- what rigidly twisted into a knot on the top of her head, us if more for security than orna- ment. Brown was also the prevailing tint of her eyebrows, thickly set eyelashes and eyes, and was even suggested in theslight saliow- nese of her complexion. But ber lips were well cut and fresh colored and her hands and feet small and finely formed. She would have passed for a pretty girl had she not suggested something more, She sat down, and began to examine a pile of papers before her with that concentration and attention to detail that was characteristic of her eyes, pausing at times with prettily knit brows, and her pen-hoider between her lips, in the semblance of a pout that was pleasant enough tosee. Suddeniy the rattle of hoofs and wheels struck her with a sense of something forgotten, andshe put down her work quickly and stood up listening. Tne sound of rough voices and her father’s queru- lous accents was broken upon bya cultivated and more familiar utterance. ‘‘All right; 111 speak to her at once. Wait there, and the door opened to the well-known pbysician of Burnt Ridge, Dr. Duchesne. Look here, he said, with an abruptness that was only saved from being brusque by a softer intonation and a reassuring smile, I met Miguel helping an accident into your buggy. Your orders, eh?’’ , pes, said Josephine, quietly. ‘‘A man 1 saw on the road. f „Well, it’s a bad case, and wants prompt attention. Andas your house is the nearest I came with him here.’’ ‘*Certainly,’* she said gravely. ‘*Take him to the second room beyond—Steve’s room— it’s ready. she explained to two dusky shadows in the hall behind the doctor. ‘*and look here, said the doctor, partly closing the door behind and regarding her with critical eyes—‘‘you always said you’d like to see some of my queer cases. Well, this is one—a serious one, too; in fact, it’s just touch and go with him. There’s a piece of the bone pressing on the brain no bigger than that, but as much as if all Burnt Ridge was atop of him! I’m going to liftit. I want some- body here to stand by, some oue who can lend a hand with a sponge, eh?—some one who isn’t going to falut or scream, or even shake a hair’s breadth, eh?’’ The color rose quickly to tne girl’s cheek, and her eyes kindled. ‘‘I’llcome,’’ she said thoughtfully. ‘‘Who ts he?’’ The doctor stared slightly at the unessentia!l query. Don't know; one ofthe river min- ers, l reckon. It’s an urgent case. I'll go and get everything ready. You’d better, he added, with an ominous glance at her gray frock, put something over your dress. The suggestion made ber grave, but did not alter her color. A moment later she entered the room. It was the one that hadalways been set apart for her brother; the very bed on which the un- conscious man lay had been arranged that morning with her own hands. Something of this passed through her mind as she saw that the doctor had wheeled it beneath the strong light in the center of the room, stripped its outer coverings with professional thoughtfulness, and rearranged the mattresses. But it did not seem like the same room. There was a pungent odor in the alr ‘from some freshly opened phial; an almost feminine neatness and luxury in the open morocco case, like a jewel box, on the table, shining with epotiess steel. At the head of the bed one of her own servants, the powerful mill foreman, was assisting with the mingled curiosity and blase experience of to um and lacer- she did not look at the central, unconscious figure on the bed, whose sufferings seemed to her to — — — — — — — — ——— Josephine aud the stranger to supplant her the spare —— 8 intent only upon the form before m. > The lips moved again, but this time feebly and weeny i the eyes were staring vaguely arou * 2 „What's matter?

Dr. Duchesne looked grave, but recovered himself uickly. That willdo. Leave him alone now,“ he said brusguely to the others. But Josephine lingered. „He spoke well enough just now,“ she said eCageriy. ‘*Did you hear what he said?’’ Not exactly, said the doctor abstractedly, gazing at the man. „He said, ‘You'll have to kill me first,’ ’’ said Josephine — 8 : ‘‘Humpnl’’ sad the doctor abstractedly, passing his hand backward and forward be- fore the man’s eyes to note any change in the staring pupils.

What I had done to him? Dh, yes!“ CHAPTER U. Before noon the next da throuxhout Burnt Ridge Duchesne had perf awiiffiealt opera- tion upon an unkoown man, who had been picked = unconscious from a fall and car- ried to Burnt Ridge Ranch. But although the unfortunate man’s life was saved jby tie Operation, he had only momentarily re- covered consciousness—relapsing into a semi- idiotic state, which effectively stopped the dis- covery of any clew to his friends or his iden- tity. As it was evidentiy an accident, which inthat rude community—and evenin some more civilized ones—conveyed a vague im- pression of some contributo incapacity on the part of the victim or some Providential in- terference of a retributive character, Burnt Ridge gave itself little trouble about it. It is unnecessary to say that Mr. and Mrs. Forsvth ave themselves and Josephine much more. hey had a theory and a grievance. Satisfied from the first that the alleged victim was a drunken tramp who submitted to have a hole bored in his head in order to foist him- selfupon the ranch, they were loud in their protests, even hinting at a conspiracy between it was known alley that Dr. brother inthe property, as he had already in bedroom. Didn't all that yer happen the very night she pretended to go for Stephen—eh? Tell we that! And didn’t sha have it all arranged with the mals to bring him here, as thataneaking doctor himself let out—en? Looks mighty curious, don’t it?’’ she muttered darkly to the old man. But the man which might have made his present dependent condition picturesque by contrast. He had come to her handicapped by an unro- mantic accident and a practical want of energy and ljutellect. He would have to touch her interest anew if, indeed, he would ever suc- ceed in dispelling the old impresslon. His beauty, in a community of picturesquely handsome men, had little weight with her, except to accent the contrast with their fuller manhood. Her life had given her no illusions iw regard to the othersex. She had found them, how- ever, more congenial and safer companions than women, and more accessible to her own sense of justice and honor. In return they had respected and admired rather than loved her, in solte of her womanly graces, If she had at times contemplated eventual marriage, it was only as a possibile practical partnership in her business; but as she lived in a country where men thought ita dishonoring proof of incompetency to rise by thelr wives’ superior fortune, she had deen free from that kind of persecution, even from men who might have pe is herin hopeless and silent honor, For this reason there was nothing in the sit- uation that suggested a single compromising speculation in the minds of the neighbors or disturbed ber own tranquillity. There seemed to be nothing In the future except a possible relief to her curiosity. Some day the unfor- tunate man’s reason would be restored, and he would tell his simple history. Perhaps he might explain what was in his mind when he turned to her the first evening with that sin- gular sentence which had often recurred strangely to her she knew notwhy. It did not strike ber until later that it waa because it had been the solitary indication ofan en- ergy and capacity that seemed unlike him. WOMAN’S IDEAL MAN. — ‘MARY J. HOLMES ON QUALITIES IN. MEN MOST PRIZED BY WOMEN. Things in Man Which Amase Woman in Courtship Often Annoy Her After Mar- riage —Woman’s Likes and Dislikes —A Girl's Opinion of Men—Husbands Some Young Women Would Choose. [Written for the SUNDAY PoSsT-DISPATCH.| 5 HAVE been asked to give my opinidn as to what qualities or actions of men are most pieasing to wom- en and most conducive to their happiness. It there were but one woman in the world, and I that woman, I could answer that question easily, for I exactly what pleages me ina man, and could tell it in afew words. But the name of woman is legion, and every woman has her own ideas, and theseideas change as years go by, until, seen inthe full glare of summer life, or through the spectacles which more sober autumn puts on, the man who in our spring-time was our ideal ot all a man should be falls trom his high pedestal,and the pieces of our shattered idol are not worth the picking up. When Mrs. Jones, in her early girlhood, marriea Mr. Jones, she thought him the one man in all the world who could make her hap- py, and his roughness and swagger and coarse good-humor pleased and amused her, for there wasin her nature something which re- sponded to his, But, given the same advan- tages, women polish sooner than men, and are quicker to adopt the little customs of po- liteness and refinement, and although Mrs. Jones is not yet so refined that she cannot en- joy herself, she has learned to blush at her husband’s roughness, and shivers at his COARSE, LOUD TALK. Mrs. Brown likes to have her husband smoke, and enjoys the smell of his cigar, while Mrs. Smith detests tobacco, and the smell of a cigar makes her sick. Mr. Wilkes likes her husband to dine at his club, because it gives ner more liberty to gossip and visit, while Mrs. Tubbs cries if she le left to dine alone. And so oue might multiply the list of women whom the minor actions and habits of their husbands make happy or miserable. But it is not altogether with the Mrs. Smiths, and Browns, and Joneses that this article has to do; nor yet withg@that class of women who marry the man they know to be a drunkard, saying as did a young girl of my acquaintance, that =" would marry him if they knew he would e brought home every week in astate of in- toxication. That, Isuppose, is love; but of the kind of which I know nothing from per- sonal experience. Icould not marry a man who drank, or gambled, or swore, or made vile remarks about women, holding them all as low as himself, or who had notas much or more brain than myself, Still, there are plenty of girls who can and do marry justsuch men and seem reasonably content. And thus the puzzie grows as to the quality in men most prized by the better class of women, for I do not call her of the better class who willingly and knowingly promises to love and honor a fool, or a roue, Ora swearer, ora gambler, or a drunkard. She may be, and often is, in the 80-CALLED HIGHER RANKS, where money reigns supreme, for money will buy nearly everything and everybody, and I should sometimes be tempted to think itthe golden virtue which my sex prizes the most in men, did I not know many a nobie-minded woman who has chosen to be poor with the man she loves rather than rich {with the one she does not. To judge others by one’s self is said to be righteous judgment, but it is not always a safe rule to follow in drawing conclusions, and since thinking of this article I have sounded several women with regard to their likes and disitkes in husbands, real or prospective. I askeda young girl with positive opinions what trait she would like best in her husband, if she had one, and her answer was prompt and tothe point: ‘‘I’d want him*to have a mind of nis own, and net be bossed around by his wife!’’ The reply was startling, but had in ita ring of common sense and truth, for much as a woman may like to boss her husband and leasing as the recreation may be, she would n her heart respect him more if he sometimes took the reins in his own hands, even if he upset the matrimonial car or drove itintoa |. forhearing and unselfish, the more attentive I would be to her, for n this way,I believe, I could make her happy, even if I were neither rich, nor learned, nor famous, nor the perfeet Adonis so many young girls are expect.ng for a husband.

True to an odd standard of jus- tice, which she had erected from the crumbling ruins of her own domestic life, she was tolerant of everything but human erfection. Thie quality. however fatal to er higher erowth, had given her a peculiar capacity for business which ehdeared her to her uncle. Familllar with the strong passions and prejudices of men, she had none of those feminine meannesses, a wholesome distrust of which had kept her uncle a bachelor. It was not strange, therefore, that whep he died two years ago, it was found that he had left her his entire property, real and personal, limited only by a sin- gie condition. She was to undertake the vocation of a sole trader, and carry on the business under the name of ‘‘J. Forsyth. If she married, the estate and property was to be held distinct from her husband’s, inalien- able under the Married Woman's Property Act, and subject during ner life only to her tad contro! and personal responsibilities as a trader. The intense disgust and discomflture of her parents, who bad expected to more actively articipate in their brother's fortune, may be magined.

Almost before she knew it the operation was over, and she — 2 — with equal curiosity the osténtatious solicitude with which the doctor seemed to be bets — his fateful instrument that bore an odd resemblance to a silver-handled center- bit. The stertorous breathing below the bandages had given way to a fainter but more natural respiration. There was a moment of sus- ense. The doctor’s hand left the pulse and fted the olosed eyelid of the sufferer. A slight movement passed over the figure, The sluggish face had cleared; life seemed to struggle back into it before even the dull eyes ated In the glow.’ Dr. Duchesne, with ture, waved aside om erp erty but not before Josephine had ben head to 1 rward. „He is coming to, she said. f At the sound of that deep, clear volee—the k the hush of the room—the dull up and the head turned iu ite.

There was still for the diagnosis revealed It was a most interesting case. He would watch it oarefully and as soon as the patient could be removed would take him to the county hospital, where, under his own eyes, the patient would have the benefit of Physically he was doing remarkably well; in- deed, he must have been a fine young chap, free from blood taint or vicious complication, whose flesh had healed like aninfant’s. It should be recorded that it was at this that Mrs. Forsyth first learnt that a silver plate let into the artful stranger’s skull was an adjunct of the healing process! Oonvinced that this infamous ex- travagance was part and parcel ofthe con- spiracy; that it was only the beginning of other assimilations of the Forsyths’ metallic substance; that itjwas probably polished and burnished with a fulsome inscription to the doctor’s skill and would pass into the poseas- sion and adornment of a perfect stranger, her rage knew no bounds. He or his friends ought to be made to pay for it or work it out! In vain it was declared that a few dollars were ell that was found in the man’s pocket, and that no memoranda gave any indication of his name, friends or history beyond the suggestion that he came from a distance. This was certainly a part of the conspiracy! Even Josephine’s practical good sense was obliged to take note of this singular absence of all record arding him, and the apparant obliteration of every- thing that might be responsible for his ultimate fate, Homeless, frlendless, helpless and even nameless, the unfortunate man of twenty- five was thus left te the tender mercies of the mistress of Burnt Ridge Ranch as it he had been a new-born foundling laid at her door. Butthis mere claim of w negs was not all; it was supplemented by a singular reonal appeal to Josephine’s nature. m he time that he turned his head toward her voice on that fateful night his eyes had always followed ber around the room with a wondering, yearning, canine balf-inteiligence.

She taught him to repeat after her the names of the inanimate objects in the room, then the names of tha doctor, his attend- dant, the servant, and finally her own under her Christian prenomen, with frontier familiarity; but when she pointed to himself he waited for her to name him! In vain she tried him with all the masculine names she knew, his was not one of them. or he would not or could nat speak it. For at times she rejected the professional dictum of the doctor thatthe faculty of memory was wholly par- alyzed or held in abeyance, even to the half automatic recollection of his letters, yet she inconsistently began to teach him the alpha- bet, with the same method, and—in her sub- lime unconsciousness of his manhood—with the same discipline as if he were a very child. When he had recovered sufiicientiy to leave his room, she would lead him to the porch before her window and make him contented and bappy by allowing him to watch her at work at her desk, oc- castonally answering his wondering eyes with a word or stirring his faculties witha ques- tion. I grieve to say that her parents had taken advantage of this publicity and his sup- posed helpless condition to show their disgust of his assumption to the extreme of makin faces at him—an act which he resented wit such a furious glare that they retreated hur- riedly to thelr own verandah.

Special Correspondence of SUNDAY POST-DISPATCR. [Copyrighted. | GP ONDON, Nov. 20, 1 1889.—Dur ing the Pe coming week the great caucus of the Liberal party, the National Liberal Federation, will be holding high carni- val. The selection of Manchester as the place of meeting is as significantin its way as was that oft Bir- mingham last year. Birmingham was invaded by the Gladstonian army, with all its horse, tobt and artillery as the one stronghold of Mr. Chamberiain’s-. recreant radicalism. Manchester, on the other hand, is the Capital of Lancashire, and used to be said that what Lancashire says to-day England will think to-morrow. Manchester may be said to be the birth- place of free-trade as Birmingham was of natural education; it was Manchester which inspired Cobden in his crusade against the Crimean war, it was Man- chester which led the van of the struggle for the enfranchisement of workingmen. From the Liberal point of view, however, Man- chester has of late years sadiy fallen away from its high estate and historic tra- ditions. At the general election of 1885, Lancashire proved it- self lukewarm in the cause of reform and daugerously indoctrinated with Protection; while in the Home Rule fight of 1886 it de- livered itself over bag and baggage to the enemy, only twelve members being returned to support Mr. Gladstone out of a total of fifty-eight elected. In taking the field at Manchester, therefore, the National Liberal Federation has beeu actuated by the practical wisdom which concentrates its strength upon the spot where most is to be gained. The Liberal caucus is the creation, of course, of MR. CHAMBERLAIN, alded by the celebrated Mr. * ye ee was then his ‘‘Fides Achates.’’ M. Cham- berlain founded the Nationa! Liberal Federa- tion in Birmingham in 1878, wnen Lord Beaconsfield’s popularity was in its palmiest days, and the Liberal power in Parliament was at its lowest ebb. At first the new departure evoked little interest ham. Mr. Gladstone, with that innate conservatism that forms so essential a feat- ure of his character, for some time held aloof. Atthe Gret conference only 150 dele- gates, representing forty-four associations, attended. But in the general election of 1880 one caucus proved the most powerful agency inthe accomplishment of Liberal triumph. At once it became the object ofthe bitterest hatred on the partof the Tory party. Lord Randolph Churchill in particular poured upon it the copius vials of his wrath, and for sevéral years it was the special bete noir“ of the good people who declaimed against the Americanizing of our institutions.’’ The caucus is now an ac- cepted fact, however, in English politics. From abusing, Conservatives came to adopt- ing it, and the National Union of Conservative Associations, which has just held its annual meeting, la a copy of the Liberal Federation as the Women’s Liberal Association is a copy of the Primrose League. The principie of the caucus as defined inthe programme of the National Federation is, ‘‘the participation of all members in the formation and di- rection of its r and in the selection 0 those par- ticular measures of reformed rogréss to which priority shall be given. he Liberal Association of every constituency ie entitled to send acertain number of delegates (iu ac- cordance with its numbers) to the annual conference at which the selection of such measures is made.

Mr. Schnadhorst has the not too common gift of knowing his vocation and wt yay | to it. Truly viewing the powers within him he abandoned the care of souls for the organiza- tion of voters, and with as much wisdom has since declined all invitations to enter Parlia- ment. He rarely speaks: he never comes to the front ot the stage. But he pulls the wires which make the figures move, and as one of the parents of the caucus and the priceless pearl of organizers his will be a place of re- nown at the Manchester meeting, certainly not secondary to that or Sir James Wilson, the President, and Sir Walter Foster, M. P., the Chairman of the General Committee of the Federation. Sir James Wilson, who received his baron- etcy on Mr. Gladstone’s retirement from office in 1886, is a Leeds merchant with a persuasive voice. He has never sat in the House of Com- mons, having been beaten by a small vote at the last election for Central Leeds by a —— — brother of Mr. Balfour, the Irish ecretary, but out of Parliament he possesses more influence than most men who are in. A popular physician of Birmiagham and a mem- ber of its Town Council, ir Balthazer Walker Foster, was once the devoted apostie of Mr. Chamberlain, of whose battie-cry, Three acres and a cow. he made the most vehement use. As the penalty for fol- lowing Mr. Gladstone instead of Mr. Cham- berlain when the parting of the ways came the Duke of Westminister managed to secure his rejection for Chester, where his Grace of Eaton Hall exercises great sway. But Sir Walker’s revenge came soon, for in afew months he greatly increased the Liberal ma- jority in a Derbyshire division. He is only 50, ond there are those whose who think that Sir Walker will play a very prominent part in the coming struggles. Of the Home counties division of the Feder- ation, the Ear! of Rosebery, who was chosen as the first chairman of the London Connty Council, is president, but its moving spirit is Mr. Herbert Gardner, M. P. Mr. Gardner is termed the chairman of the committee, and in that capacity devotes to the 1 of Liberalism all the matured energy of a healthy, vigorous man of 44. He represents one of the divisions of Essex, and he deserves his position on the Eederation, if only because he was in 1886 the only SUPPORTER OF MR. GLADSTONE retained by the Home Counties. The Home Counties division has thus much hard fighting John Morley. to do, but it may be said to have hardly justi- fied itself by recent Liberal victories In Kent On the committee of which chairman, serve Lord Hon. Philip Stanhope, Russian wife, the and Hampshire. Mr. Gardner Brassey and who, with Countess is one most popular members society. Mr. Stanhope, whose brother is the Secretary for War in Lord Salisbury’s gov- ernment, is a dashing speaker, and although the son of an Earl, his piebeian occupation as a civil engineer and devotion to the most democratic causes endears him to the hearts ofhis constituents, the miners of Stafford- shire. As an officer of the Federation, Lord Brassey is, I am afraid, more oinamental than useful, his pretty estate at Norwonhurst giving bim, it is supposed, a stake and an in- fluenée in what Tories delight to call ‘‘solid success. As President of the London Liberal and Radical Union Mr. John Morley bas delivered some stirring orations on the social condition of the 8 At the Federation meetings last year Mr. Morley electrified his audience by the eloquence with which he claimed their attention of the Liberal party to the miseries. In three or four short _— the literary stu- dent has develope into a platform orator, and at the present there is no one beside Mr. Glad- stone whom educated workingmen in London are more giad tohear. Although member forso distant a city as Newcastiec Mr. Morley as President of this section of the Federation is practicaily the leader of Lon- don Liberalism, and at Manchester this week he will doubtless again give it a potent voice. On all the great social questions which are be- ginning to agitate the English masses MR. MORLEY is in line with the most advanced thinkers not- withstanding, as some would say, the econo- mictraining and logical tendencies. It is true that he has recentiy been much cate- chised on the subject of the legal limitations of the hours of laborers, but it must be said that at present the working classes of the country have quite as open # m ind upon an eight-hour bill as Mr. Morley. It is not on these social questions, however, rominently as they undoubtediy will bein all he discussions, that the delegates at Man- chester will most certainly fullow Mr. Mor- ley’s lips. During the autumn the great point in Unionist speecher has been that the Lib- eral party has not yet made it clear, whether, the event of returning to power ag reintroducing Home it intends to retain bers in the House of Commons. the earliest pioneers of Home Rule, Mr. Morley was in favor of sending back the Irish members to Dublin, and it is believed some that it was under his influence Mr. Gladstone inserted the famous twenty-fourth olause into his Home Rule Bill, disfranchising Ireland in the Imperial Parliament.

Of the Welsh wing of the catcus few words need be said. Its most interesting leader is Mr. Thomas Ellis, the young man who, in his rationalist as- irations and strong character, has termed the Parnell ot Wales. the future relations ales with the official Liberal par it is difficult to make any forecast, but it is cer- tain thatsince the North Wales Federation and the South Wales Federation were formed the cry of Home Rule for Wales has found much freer vent in the councils of the party. To Mr. Chamberlain, THE SPECTACLE which Manchester will afford during the com- ing week must be one of the deepest humiliia- tion. To him the cancus must appear as the Frankenatein which destroys its creator. Since the great upheaval of 1886, the National Liberal Federation has reconstructed the Lib- eral party. In ite power Mr. Chamberlain must see the signs of his own failure and the ortent of Mr. Gladstone’s triumph. When r. Chamberlain was disowned, when the Federation freed itself from all connection with Birmingham the caucus seemed to take a new lease of life. Before the Unionist revolt the Federation comprised 225 associations, and Sie James Kitson. at the great Reform Oonfearence of 1883, 2,200 delegates attended. At the Birmingham mevet- ing last year 716 asyociations were repre- sented by 3,000 delegates. At Manchester these members will probably be even larger, and there can be no doubt of the devotion of the delegates to the leadership of Mr. Gladstone. At Birmingham last autumn they made themselves hoarse in cheering for ten minutes the oration of nearly two bours which Mr. Gladstone delivered to them. And this year all the proceedings of the caucus are dwarfed compared with the speech which the Gand Old Man' is to make in the fa- mous Free Trade Hall, For weeks past there have been discussions in Liberal circles respecting the programme that will be put forward at Manchester. For my part, Ishould say that it will emphasize rather than extend the programme of Bir- mingham. At Birmingham the resolutions passed by the delegates comprised twenty- one articles of the Liberal creed. Apart from such reforms in the machinery of Government as the shortening of the duration of Parlia- ments and the payment of election expenses out of the rates, they may be classified as (1) social reform forthe towns and (2) social reform in the villages.. Better houses for THE WORKING CLAS6BES, the taxation of ground rents and free educa- tion werethe then main measures advocated in respect to the first. In regaid to the second the greatest stress was laid upon the provis- ion of the three acres, of which the laborers by the bill of the present government have got only a moiety, a larger measure of local government and the abolition of the feudal system respecting land. To last year’s pro- gramme the only addition is likely to be the removal of the tax on tea, although some en- deavor may be made to take the option of the delegates on an eight-houre’ bill. As you are doubtless aware Mr. Gladstone has already reduced the tax on tea to 6d a pound with the result that with the spread of temperance it has become John Bull’s national beverage. Most Liberals now think that even the six pence should be taken off and that at last Cobden and Bright’s ideal of a free breakfast table should be real- ized. There would be perhaps less readiness to abolish the tax were it notforthe fact that China has been superseded by India in En- giand’s tea market. Much eloquence will doubtless be heard at Manchester on the Irish question, and de- cisive resolutions will be passed upholding home rule and denouncing coercion. But it is not to home rule or coercion that the Federation and the political force it repre- sents will devote the greater part of their evangelism. The caucus claims that THE DEMOCRACY is alread declaring its preference for the Gladstonian over the Balfourian system of governing the sister isle; that upon the Irish question its conversion is accomplished. Whether this is so or not is not for me to opine, but it is safe to say that In the next few days at Manchesterthe appeals will be to the desires and co-operators of the laborers in the village and the artisans in the town.

Among them are banker-million- alre Henry Budge, the Président of the Fair; Abraham de Freece, famous throughout the country as a successfui mana- ger of charitable enterprises; Messrs. A. F. Hochstadter, Isaac Wallach, V. H. Roths- child, Samuel Stiefel and Wiiliam Vogel, mer- chants; Jesse Seligman and Samuel Schafer, bankers, Jacob H. Schiff. also a banker and millionaire, known through his manifold charities as the American Monteflore, and others equally prominent and influential. As a spectacle alone, the Fair promises to be the finest effort of its kind ever undertaken in New York. Lavish outlays have been made for decorations. There will be about seventy stands or booths, at which the richest He- brews ofthe city, their wives and daughters will preside. All the Jewish congrégations in the metropolis are working actively for its success and each congregation will have one or more booths. Greeneries of ferns, orchids and chrysanthemums, with tall tropical plants and thousands of beds of perfume will made the great building look like a summer paradise. Itis estimated that the total ex- peuses of the Fair will not fall much short OF $100,000, while the receipts will probably be quite double that sum. As in everything relating to social display, the Hebrew ladies will take a very prominent art in the Fair. Mrs. M. H. Moses, Mrs. enry Budge, Mrs, Herrman, Mrs. Scniff, Mrs. Isidore Strauss, Mrs. Edward Lauter- bach, Mr. Isidor Wormser, Mrs. Dewitt Seligman, Mrs. Robert Offenbach and many others will preside at the different booths. The leading rabbis, Gottheil, Sil- berman, ut, endes, Harris, Weill, and Kohler will also ac- tively assist the management.

In 1886, 30,000 came to this country, being driven from their homes in Europe by the action ofthe Russian, Polish, German and Roumanian Governments. From 1881 to 1886, 114,000 arrived. Sixty thousand more have come since then. To-day there are 450,000 Hebrews in the United States, of whom 130,000 are in New York. Atthe present rate they will, in three or four more decades, control the balance of trade in the Union, One of the best informed Hebrew statists, Isaac Markens, estimates that the Hebrew wholesale trade of New York City represents an annual amount of $250,000,000. Of this, $55 , 000 is in clothing, $80,000,000 in jewelry, $25,000,000 in meats, 725, 000, 000 in wines, spirits and deer, „000, 000 in tobacco and cigars, 312,000, lamonds, and a like sum in leather and hides. The Hebrew butchers of New York and Brooklyn employ 6,000 men. The mam- moth fretail dry goods and fancy goods establishments of the metropolis are under similar control, the Altmans, the Bloomingdales, Ehrichs, Sterns and others being the leading spirits. Pot- tery, laces, oil, trunks and bags, corsets and umbrellas are also in their hands. In Georgia the trade of the leading cities is control 7 them; in Baltimore they are prominent in bauking, clothing and trade generally; in San Francisco they are among the wealthiest and most influential citizens; in Galveston they are foremost in the business worid, and man other Western and Southern cities owe muc of the financialand commercial development to the wonderful genius of this race. In Wall street, that ocean of sunken for- tunes, the master-spirit of the Hebrew bas as- serted itself for the last fifty years. As early as 1800 the names of Gomez, Hess, Seixas and Hart were prominent among the money brok- ers of New York. The Hebrews have always been among the leading spirits on Change. The Lispenards, the Brandons, Henriques, Schafers, Harmons and Nathans were amon the best known. Al! began life poor. Josep Seligman, the elder, was a bank clerk, and saved up his salary to bring his brothers to this country. Philip Hel- delbach was a r Bavarian boy; Lazarus Haligarten started almost without capital; the Wormsers were in the clothing busin in a small way in San Francisco before coming East to be money kings: Nathan Bloom, whose trade extended throughoutthe South- western States and who died worth $5,000.000, came here a pore emigrant peddler; Isaac Friedlander, the late grain king of California, whose fleets numbered 270 ships, was a pennt less lad before he became a gold-bunter in the Rockies, Jacob H.

New York. New York, Nov. 2%.—The success of the Within a few days, how- Mrs. Hardie, has opened a ‘‘Ladies’ Guide and at 24 Union Square. brought my wife with me on my trip last spring,’’ sald the head of a Western business house in eonversation recently. „We were here a fortnizht, and I was busy every day and occasionally in the evening. Molly satin her room at the hotei and con- cluded that marriage isa fallure. 0 have ust had a houseful of guests from o, sa 7 knew they were anxious to see the city, but my time was all full witn previous en- gagements, and I was positively unable to go about withthem. If I could have found any- bedy to play hostess for me I should have been so thankful.’’ The district messenger boy is the usual re- Sort of the timid woman from out ot town. He calls for her at the hotel and escorts her to the dry goods stores. That is, he goes ekipping — ahead of her, particularly at crowded crossings, leaving herto dodge the horses’ heads as best she is able, or eise he loiters behind in cheerful converse with other messenger boys. The new idea is to substitute the lady guide for the messenger boy, and so many women of education and refinement are left dependent on theirown resources without any business education to heip them to a livelihood that it is thought the evolution of one more oceupa- tion may prove a great gain. Mrs. Hardie’s pian is to furnish reliable and experienced women who are accustomed to shopping and know the price of goods to at- tend the young bride who has come to the city to buy her trousseau, or the ae of any age or condition who is not posted as to the pisces at which for the least money to get the estthings. Young housekeepers, both town dwellers and country people, often wish fora companion of artistic tastes to help them choose furniture and draperies, and the send- ing out of experts to assist in the selection of musical instruments is another scheme which may bear good fruit before long. The London bureau has proved completely successful, but an important part of its work consists in sending lady guides with tourists to all points of interest, the guides being en- aged sometimes by the week or fortnight to ake American women to Westminister, St. Paul's, the British Museum and the Tower, such palaces and great houses as are open or can be opened by the almighty shilling, and to see that they do“ everything noteworthy in good style. New York has lesa to offer in this direction, but it ts thought that ladies with some knowledge of pictures can be sent with strangers visiting the art galleries and museums, while otber ladies can take out of town visitors to Bedloe’s Island to see the Liberty Statue, to Trinity Church and to such lions as the city counts among its attractions. One very practical feature ie to be the engaging of rooms at hotels for women trav- eling alone. Some hotels will not take lone women without a recommendation, and in any case if one telegraphs one has to take the chanee of finding the house full. Another lan is to engage seats for concert or theater y telegraph, and to provide ehaperons, if desired, to accompany ladies to places of amusement. Like the Ladies’ New York Club, just organ- ized, the comfort and convenience of women isthe end sought, and astheyare thrown more and more on theirown resources the sex feminine becomes thoroughly practical as to the means. Mre, Hardie isa wa bright and business-like woman, who will carry the pene through to success, if success is possi- le. THE Col. CODY’ HAT. . One of the Latest Designs in Parisian Milli. nery.

This nefarious industry throve in England and France, while in Spain it be- came so common as to call for the enactment of special laws to preventit. Of late years, however, Germany has enjoyed almost a me- nopoly of this business and 96 per cent of the counterfeit postage stamps are manufactured in that country. The Government has sel dom been a sufferer in this way, the imita- tions nearly invariably going into the h of collectors. The single important tion to this rule is to be found in Spain. eral of the South American rep were at one time flooded counterfeit stamps which. were for postage, but the sales, owing to habits of the people, and the infrequency which they wrote letters were not sufficien afford the imitators any adequate reward their expense and trouble, and the iss soon disappeared. In Spain, however, case was different. The Spanish stamps simpie in design and of poor workmanshi and therefore easily duplicated, while rates were high enough to afford a large m gin of profit. Fifteen or twenty years were 80 common to cause the Government to its models yearly, and it was not uns the stamps were ordered in London, of being made in the country in which were used, that the troubie ceased. that time counterfeit stamps have seldom or never been placed upon letters. STAMPS LIKELY TO BE IMITATED. Contrary to the general coppers: the counterféiter seldom undertakes to imitate the rarest and most expensive vurieties. Those would only be bought y collectors who have studied the subject, and de- tection would be nearly sure to follow an attem sale. The great mass of stamps d are bought by boys and girls, who begin collections and abandon them ina yearortwo. From this source the demand is constant, and as almost anything purporting to be a stamp is accepted as genuine, the im- itator has a fine field. The fact that many un- used stamps are sold at less than their face value is explained by the fact that they are not? genuine. In Europe the industry thrives than in this coun or England. Near! every tourist *. one or more friends who request that 4 of the different countries visited be sent — and travelers are familiar with the sheets of stamps that are forsale in nearly every r. stand or tobacco shop that they enter. 2 reat majority of these are imitations, and or few of them is more than 10 or 16 cents asked. The reason for this is evident. A real collector, if asked to give $5 or $10 for a stamp, would either examine it very “ene fully himself or submit it toan expert. cheaper stamps he would pay less attention to, a he wodld have them in his collection, and those who desired to ob- tain them would be safely counted A destitute of technical knowledge. The rare stamps are v seldom counterfeited, The imitators regularly supply the dealers with their wares, and in many instances up stamp bureaus of their own, advert packets containing certain specified mens ata Nr price. In many instances stamps sold in packets are genuine, but counterfeits are disposed of in this than ia any other. ' COUNTERFEIT DETECTION. It is by no means an easy matter to N ood counterfeit.

OM REED says he felt during his first six months in Con- gress like a fly ina bowl of molasses —‘‘there was plen- ty of sweetness, but no ligbt.“ I give you pen pict- ures of all of the recent candidates. Maj. McKinley of . Ohio is one of the . — finest-looking men Se TUTTE in Congress. Five I feet seven inches in height, he is as straight as Michael An- gelo’s statue of David, and a line dropped | from the crown of his jet-black head would just touen the heels of his polished boots. Broad -shouldered and well-padded, his form would serve as a model for the Washington Athietic Club, and his classic, smooth-shaven Congressman Reed. face would not be out of place among the signers of the Declaration of Independence in the painting which hangs in the rotunda of the Capitol. MAJ. M’KINLEY undoubtedly looks like Napoleon Bonaparte, though he once toid me that he did not like to be reminded ofthe resemblance. He has the same grave, dignified mouth, the same high, broad and full forehead and the same heavy lower jaw. Heisabetter looking man than was Napoleon, and his bright, dark eyes shine out under brows which are less heavy than those of Bonaparte, and his frown is by no means so terr. Ble as that of the Little Cor- poral. He appreciates, however, the value of dignity, always dresses in a double-breasted frock coat and crowns his classic head with a tall silk hat. He generally walks upto the Capitol, and ashe goes along with his chest tothe front and bis tall hat in theair, he ie one of the striking figures on Pennsylvania avenue. It was during such a walk that I once passed him in the streetcarin company with two Mary- land Congréssmen. These men were free- traders, and they naturally disliked MoKin- ley. As we went by him one of them pointed tothe street and said in a most significant tone: Some men are born great, and some are born—in Ohio.“ The other two Oongressmen laughed and said, just so, and the two continued to giggle overthe remark for the next three ocks. McKinley was born in Ohio, and he made his first speech one cold February morning just forty-five years ago. Whether born great or not, he has succeeded in making himself go in the eyes ofthe people. He is not a man of ex- traordinary natural ability, but he is pos- sessed ofthe genius of common sense.

He a fine Freuen scholar, and his Shakspeare is better thiinbed than his Bible, tho he knows the latter well. He has an analytic mind, and when he gets hold ofa fact it drops into one of the little pigeon holes of his brain, ready to slide off his slippe tongue at a second’s notice. He has the bump of humor largely developed a sarcastic thing and he can’t resist sayl even if it does cut the — | rected. Many of | THE SHARP THINGS be has said in the past are remembered and some, of these lost bim votes and friends. Lremember one instance respecting a promineht member of one of the comm ittees of the Fiftieth Congress. The man is dead now, and I will cailhim Mr. Blank, as Reed's remark concerning him is not creditable to his memory. d was asked his opinion of at whom it is di- the committee to which Mr. Blank belonged. He replied: ‘‘Oh, I like the committee very well. It is mposed, in the main, of good fellows. I like them all, except that little squirt of a Dick Blank, who is good for nothing in God's world but to be stood up in a corner aud spit upon. Of course this created a laugh at Blank, but Blank was by no means a nonen- tity. The story was repeated to him, and Blank never forgot nor forgave it. His ex- perience is similar to many other men in the Congressman Cannon. House of Representatives, though they by mainly on the Democratic side. Tom Reed is nothing of a diplomat, and his leadership has not been gained by the obstinacy which gave Kandall his rank among the Democrats, or by the Oily Gammon actions which wade Morrison a leader. He maintains his position by sheer force of brain, courage and elo- quence. ,. Tom Reed looks anything but the tradi- tional leader. He has the frame of & Japanese wrestler, and his head might serve for that of a Chinese giant. He is fat and tall, and his big-boned body is padded at every point with muscular flesh. I have never seen him strike; but his fist, under John Sullivan’s training, would fell an ox; and he has a foot which would make him one ofthe greatest foot-bail players in the worid. His face is broad, fair and fat; the cheegs puff out, and a pair of small, half-almond eyes shine like diamonds under a broad forehead, which wey onand on upward until it fades away nto a fuzzy baldness about three inches in front of Reed’s- crown. Reed’s mouth isa strong one, and he hasa STRAGGLING RED MOUSTACHE on his upper lip containing about enough bristies to make a camel’s hair brush. Reed’s hair is thickest at the sides and at the back. It is not luxuriant at any place, and he combs the sandy locks well up and back of his ears, so that the ends of them just touch the collar of hiscoat. This big, round head is pasted down upon Reed’s broad, fat shoul- ders with a fiat, wafer-like neck, and when Reek sits in his chair in the House with his hands up under bis chin and elbows leaning on his desk, you wonder whether he has any neck atall, and youcan hardly imagine bim to be tne greatest man among the members surrounding him. Let adiscussion come up and you wonder no longer. Reed’seyes begin to twinkle, a queer smile hovers around that big mouth, anda moment later you see him throw six feet into the arena of debate, and, in asharp nasal twang, he pours sarcasm and argument out at friend and foe. Ashe goes on with his speech his cheeks change from white to red, his semi-bald pate becomes the color of a boiled lobster, and he gestures violently with his arms, emphasizing every sentence with a shake of his head. He cares but lit tle for uppearances, and dur- ing the quieter part of the ses- sion he walks about the House with his hands in his pockets, stopping now and then to tell a story to acrowd of brother mem- bers, and — laughter Wherever he goes. He Ie always ready with a story or a speech. He never writes out his speeches for the Record and seldom corrects the proot of them as taken down by the stenographers. He can make as good an after-dinner speech as a Con- gressional one, and heenjoys the good things of this life as well as any other man in Con gress. ‘ Tom Reed is, however, simple in his habits. He is not a money-saver nor a money-ac- cumulator, and he would be a richer man if he had remained out of Congress. During HIS PAST CAREER he has lived very simply at Washington. His quarters were in the Hamilton House, a pri- vate hotel frequented largely by New En- glanders. Reed had a couple of little rooms up hear the‘attic, and he worked away at his desk against the wall and under a gas-jet. The only picture in the room was a print of Abraham Lincoln, whom Ree admired greatly. You never found him loafing about the hotel, and he bas spent the chief part of his leisure in study. This year he nas changed his quarters, and he will live at the Shoreham, which is more comfortable, but which will be quite as retired as the Ham- ilton. His quarters here are not far from those of the Hon. Joe Cannon, who made a lively fight for the ö Cannon is as unconventional in is appearance and babite as Reed, but he is an en- tirely different kind of man. Of medium height, he is lean and wiry, and his fair, rosy face, with a pair of bright blue eyes looks out from under a siouch hat, which he pulls down over it. He is a Westerner in appearance, and, like Reed, he frequently moves about with his hands in his pockets. He is a great smoker, and is seldom seen without a cigar in his mouth, the end of which is always well chewed. e does not weigh as much as either McKinley or Reed, but his frame has become iron through exercise, and it has been his custom to take a horseback ride every day during his stay in Washington. Mr. Cannon is now 58 years of age and he has been in Congress for the last sixteen years. He has 44 held a good position on the floor, and he is noted asafighter. His favor- ite attitude in speaking is with one foot on the ‘chair nearest him. Then leaning over he shoots his words at the rate of two hun- dred a minute at the opposite side of the House, gesturing as he does so by shaking his finger at the Democracy and by now and then violently throwing his hand at them. Hels a goed speaker, is well posted on the rules, and 2 has many friends. There is nothing snob- _ about him, and every one knows him as oe non. MR. CANNON has not as many enemies as Reed, though he is by no means so mealy-mouthed as one of his fiinots constituents. Mr. Cannon told the story of this man the other day.

There is never a funeral in the county but that Jones is there, and in talking about the virtues of the deceased there is no praise so profuse nor tongue so giib as Jones’. He can find virtues in the worst of r they are dead, and he is packed full of the milk of human kindness from the bottom of his flat cowhide boots to the op of his bald crown.

Henderson does not look unlike ; he has the same dark haircombed up from a high forehead, the same dark complexion, which turns to the color of the moss rose as he talks, and the same half-Hmp walk, due to the wooden leg replacing that which he, like Dudley, lost on the battlefield. Henderson is a good speaker, he 4 — well, and has lunggequal to those of the famed bull ot Bashan. He tis a lawyer by profession and he lives at Dubague.

He isa man of great industry and umlimited ambition. All of the Speakership candidates were mar- ried. Mrs. Reed isa finely educated: woman and the daughter ofthe Rev. 8. H.

No man ig so miserable but he may find some one poorer and more comfortless. „Sometimes, when I am biue and feel de- serted, Iam pleased to call to mind,’’ said a Lisbon street wholesaler, Saturday, ‘‘the day that I learned a practical lesson, and it was not very long ago, either. I was feeling awful blue and lonesome. I saw no joy in lite. I didn’t know whetnerlI was worth a dollar or not. All my ventures seemed to me sure to fail. My wite noticed it and sbe said, What's the matter?’ Itold her. She looked sad and went away. ‘*Pretty soon she came back to me, and put- ting her hand on my head as I sat in my chair she said, ‘My dear. our neighbors under the hill in the little house are poor. I wish you would godown and see them. You better take down some apples and potatoes and 1 will find something to add to them by the time you are ready. Then she looked in my face, and I saw omething that made me feel like minding her. Well, I did as she said. 1 put a bushel of apples and a bushel of potatoes and some pork and some other things in the wagon and my wife added a lot of clothes from the wardrobes of oar girl and our boy, who had outgrown them. hen I started, and in due time got to the house. saw there some one more miserable than Iwas. As I poured our bomely gifts out into a wash tub set to receive them, I got my first lesson in the relations of wealth. To see the woman weep tears of joy at the sight of applies and tatoes and children’s cast o clothes; see the little ones, half naked, view them with wonder and almost with alarm, set me to thinking, and I said to myself: ‘Man, you have done wrong. You bave neglected to appreciate what has been done for you. Why, you are rich, fabulously rich, for you have a home, a business,a loving wife and ali the comforts of life.’ „A great change came over me, I grew calm and still but content, and I have never been downcast since then that I didn’t seek some poor fellow more wretched than lin the hope that we both might be made less so together by mutual ministration.’’ Paris Exposition has made the test, And proved Guerin’s photos the best. HAUNTED MUORISH WELLS. Drinking Places ‘that Are Terrors to Spanish Peasants.! From the Fortnightly Review. Stories of haunted wells are common eveéery- where in Portugal. They take various forms. In the Castle of Torre-ne-Dona-Chama, in the wild mountains of Traz os Montes, is an en- chanted well. Here the Moorish maiden has appeared more than once. She is seen in likeness of a woman to the waist; thence her form ends in a serpent’s coils. So appearing once to a young peasant of the neighborhood, she offered untold wealth if he would dis- enchant her. To do so he must consent to let her put off all likeness ofa woman’s sha and come to him as a serpent, and clasp him and coil ber- self round his body. He agreed, but when she began to wind her cold, scaly folds round him and a serpent’s head came near his face, a horror came upon him and he struck the seeming reptile with a club in his hand. Then the creature fell down and . away, a ser- pent still, but speaking with a woman’s Voice, and she cried out that the spell upon her was now made doubly strong.

Yet, in spite of the twenty-six closely printed pages which Oarlyle has devoted to him and the longer or shorter mention made by many other writers of less celebrity, it is doubtful whether, to nine out of ten of what are called intelligent readers,’’ Cagliostro is anything but the shadow of a name—familiar endugh as a name perhaps, but mimost un- known in more tangible 3 Aud unless one is very fond ‘lean English, I would not advise ahi ore additional information by 124 4 x) the twenty-six pages aforesaid. It. me is not worth the candle.“ But Oagl: worth knowing, providing the knowledge does not cost too much labor; and for the benefit of those who may desire to make his acquaintance on easy terms I have boiled down into smallest possible compass what seem to methe most reliable and essential facts In a case, the exact truth of which is not obtainabdie at any price. The real name of OUR RASCALLY HERO was Joseph Balsamo, and Palermag in Sicily has the questionable honor of being his birth- placé; the interesting event occurring some time in the year of 1743. His father, Pietro Balsamo, was a small shopkeeper. The mother is not spevified further than that she was the wife of Pietro, and that she had the baby promptly and properly christened ‘*‘Guiseppe,’’ or Joseph, after the venerable saint who has furnished names probably to as many rogues as honest men. His father died when he was very young, and his early edu- cation—réading and writing only—was pro- vided by some ot his mother’s relations. At the age of 13 or thereabouts he was sent toa neighboring monastery, partiy to be taught the rudiments of chemistry and physics, and partly in the hope that he might become a ious as well as learned member of the re- izgious brotherhood. But such was not his predestined yocafion, and after two or three years spent in better company than he ever got into again, Joseph left the nionaste with a fine assortment of bad habits, a well- established character for evil-doing, a tongue which could make the most impudent lie sound like truth and a ‘‘cheek’’ of a- mantine brass. By the time he bad attained his majority he was a full-fledged scoundrel of the * and as such would “ 1 2 Baby ty onan or graced a penitentiary. Beginning by forg- ing theater tickets, he afterward forged a will; having meanwhile robbed his uncle, and for innumerable minor offenses seen the in- side of all the prisons in Palermo. But Joseph was «mbitious for higher distinction, and so gained, in some now unknown way, the repu- tation of being A SORCERER AND ALCHEMIST. In this capacity he persuaded one Marano, a silveremith, to go with him at midnight just outside the city in search of hidden treasure, for the showing of which he wasto receive sixty ounces of gold on the spot. Arriving on the ground be drew a magic circie with a magic wand and called upon the Devil to bring forth the treasure. he Devildid not ey bat several of his boys did—accom- Dlices of Sorcerer Joseph—dressed in Faust costume, spitting fire and armed with pitch- forks. The poor silversmith was beaten into insensibility, robbed of the sixty onnces and all his valuables, and then left to die or et upand go home as he chose. Hedid not choose to die and soon after daylight managed to crawl back to his shop—not as pretty as he had been, but Knowing considerably more. His first purpose was to complain to the mag- Istrates, but dreading the ridicule his story would surely provoke, he resolved to settie accounts with the sorcerer bya few inches of stiletto steel. Unfortunate!) he told his intention to a mutual friend, who, of course, told the intended victim. Delay was dangerous and Joseph knew it. 80 he left Palermo at once in light marching order, and did not stop torest untii he bad landed at Medina, in Arabia. There, in the city made sacred by the tomb of the Prophet of Islam, the fugitive found not merely safety buta most accomplished teacher in the person of a Greek named Altolas. This man was a rare Oriental scholar, and an enthusiastic student ofoccuit science—more especially seer ey He was in want of an assistant, was highly pleased with Balsamo and straightway en- gaged bim in that capacity. Within fifteen ays he was admitted full partner, and the firm at once proceeded to business. Altolas had discovered how to make Hax look like silk, by some chemical process; and with a stock of this silken fax they went to Alexandara and other cities in Egypt, and sold the article at a very handsome proft. Then they went to — Ap venders of drugs and amulets; and returnin where thethen Grand Master of the Knights, Pinto, was a famous achymist. They worked with him in his laboratory some months, try to change a pewter plate into a silver one—but did not snoceed,Joseph became tired of the une rofitable experiment, and obtaining fiatter- ng letters of introduction from the Grand Masterto friends in Romeand Naples, he bade him and Altolas farewell,{and set forth to seek hisfortune alone. Long before this he had dropped his orginal name, on account of unpleasant associations, end now had . MORE NAMES THAN COATS. He was Chevalier de Fischio, Marquis de Melissa, the Baron de Belmonte,de Pellegrini, d' Anna, de Fenix, de Harat. But his favorite designation was the one by which he is best known to unenviable fame—tbhe Count de Cag- liostro. With it he entered the Eterna! City, and never changed it afterwards, In Rome he announced himself as a Rosicru- cian philosopher, deciared his ability to trans- mute all Daser metals into Role. to rénder himselfinvisible. to cure all diseases, and even arrest decay and oid e. His letters from the Grand Master brouam bim plenty of customers,and the sale of his ‘‘Elixir of Lite“ brought him plenty of money. But better for him than the money was the wife he won in Rome. If Lorenza Feliciana had no fortune, she was a fortune in and of herself—that is, for such a man as der future husband. She was of noble family.

Finally Miss Fry gained access to the Countess and, under plea of extreme poverty, obtained a promise that she would persuade her husband to name one more lucky number. He consented and, as luck would have it, number eight won the highest prize—i,500 guineas. A por- tion of this money, probab y Scot’s sug- estion, Fry spent in a utifal gold box aving two compartments, in one of which she placed a handsome neckla filled the other with finest snuff. Box and contents were resented to the Countess, and thenceforth the two conspira- tors had her in their power.

They were, nowever, ordered to pa 200, and for the gold-box and necklace; an to cap the climax of misfortune, Cagliostro was identified in the court room as Balsamo, of Palermo. 80 he 2 as ,000 they the ‘‘confidence man’’ and his wife zot out of England as ssible, with only £50 ofthe £ ught with them.

He soon became a strong believer lu the magical powers of the Count, and especially in his prognostications of future events; and this belief was destined to cost both of them very dearly in purse and person. Meanwhile the Count and Countess visited Naples, where they made a great sen- sation in the usual way, and then went to Bordeaux, where they made a greater one; but in both places the sensations were short- lived, as they bad been in Strasbourg and eleewhere, and the makers of them finally de- termined to try their swindling skill on the broader stage of Paris. They arrived in the city of great sensations probabl in the early months of 117864, thoug dates here are very doubtful. Rooms were taken in a very fasbionable quarter and through the influence of De Rohan they were soon ornamenting the most fashionable so- ciety ef the most fashionahje city in the world.

Good God! my dearest, angry?“ He kissed her passionately—not the less pas- sionately that she had retarned at a time so terrible. What was he tosaytoher? How as he to tell ner? While he showered kisses on her he was asking himself these questions. When she found out—when he should confess to her the whole truth, she would leave him again. Yet he did not understand the nature ofthe woman wholoves. He held her in his arms; his kisses pleaded for him; they mastered her—she was ready to believe, to accept, to surrender even her truth and ber honesty; and she was ready, though she knew it not, to become the accomplice of a crime. Rather than leave ber husband again she would do everything. Yet, Lord Harry felt there was one reserva- tion; he might confess everytning, except the murder of the Dene. No word of confession had pas@ed the doctor’s lips, yet he knew too well that the man had been murdered; and,so far as the man hac been chosen for his resem- blance to himself, that was perfectly useless, because the resemblance, though striking at the first, had been gradually disappearing as the man Oxbye grew better: and was now, as we have seen, wholly lost after death. **T have a great deal—a great deai—to tell you, dear,’’ said the husbaad, holding both her hands tenderly. ‘‘You will have to be very patien® with me.

Like all French dining-rooms, it is used for no other purpose than for eating, and furnished with little more than the barest necessaries. She closed the door and opened that of the saloon; that also was empty. She called her husband; there was no answer. It was for- tunate that she did not open the door of the spare room, for there lay the body of the dead man. She went upstairs to her husband’s room. That too was empty. But there was something lying on the table—a photograph. She took it up. Her tace became white sud- denly and swiftly. She shrieked aloud, then dropped the picture and fell fainting to the round. For the photograph was nothing ess than that of ber husband, dead, in his white grave-clotbes, his hands composed, his eyes Closed, his cheeks waxen. The cry feil upon the ears of Lord Harry, who was in the garden below. He rushed into the house and lifted his wife upon the bed. The photograph showed him plainly what had happened.

Henceforth she would be—though thisshe knew not—the willing in- strument of the two conspirators. CHAPTER LIV. ANGTHER STEP. ‘‘Thave left this terrible thing about once too often already,“ and Lord Harry took it trom the table. Let me pat it in a place ot safety.’’ ) He unlocked adrawer and opened it. ‘'‘I will put it here, he said. ‘*Why’’—as if sud- denly recollecting something—‘*here is my will. Ishall be leaving that about On the table next. Iris, my dear, I have left everything to you, All will be youre. He téok out the document. ‘‘Keep it for me, Iris. It is yours. You may as well have it now, 4nd then I know, in your careful hands, it will be quite safe. Not only is everything left to you, but you are the sole ezecutrix.’”’ Iris took the will without a word. Sbe un- derstood, now, what it meant. It she was the sole exeoutrix she would have to ect. If ev- erything was left to her she would have to re- eeive the money. Thus, ata single step, she became not only cognizant ofthe conspiracy, but the chief agent and instrument to carry it out. This done, her husband had only to tell her what had to be done at once, in consequence of her premature arrival. He had planned, he told her, not to send for ber—not to let her know or suspect anything of the trath until the money had been paid to the widow by the insurance com- any. As things turned out, it would e best for both of them to leave Passy at once—that very evening—before her arrival was known by anybody, and to let Vimpany carry out the rest of the business. He was quite tobe trusted—he would do-everything that was wanted. Already, be said, the Office will bave received from the doctor ano- tification of my death. Yesterday evening he wrote to 1 my brother—confound bim!—and to the family solictor. Every mo- ment that I stay here increases the danger of my being seen and recoynized—alter tue Office has been informed that I am dead. — ‘*Where are we to gor?“ ‘*I nave thought of that. There is a little qujet town In Belgium where no English peo- ple ever come at all. We will go there; then we will take another name; we will be buried to the outer world, aud we will live for tne rest of our lives for ourselves alone. Do you agree?’’ ‘‘I will do, Harry, whatever you think best. 1 „It will be for a time only. When all is ready yon will have to stepto the front—the will in your hand to be proved—to receive whatis due to you as the widow of Lord Harry Norland. You will go back to Belgium after a while, so as to disarm suspicion, to be- — once more the wife of William Lin- ville.’ Iris sighed heavily. Then she caught her husband’s eyes gathering with doubt, and she smiled again. ; In everything, Harry,“ she said, I am your servant. When shall we staft?’’ ‘‘Immediately.

However, he left it; he was obliged to caution and warn the doctor, and he was obliged to get his wife away as quietly as possible. This done, he packed up bis things and hur- ried off to the station, and Passy saw him no more, The next day the mortal remains of Lord Harry Noriand were lowered.into the grave. | Continued in the next SUNDAY Post- Dis raren. | ou alone tle- deal READ this morning’s Globe- Democrat and Ne- public and see how the Globe, 7% to 713 Frank- lin avenue, is almost giving away suite and overcoats, and $10,000 in presents. CHARACTER IN EARS, The Smalland Thin Ones and Those Large and Thick. Little notice is commonly taken of the out- ward form of our organ of hearing, and even artists do not give it much consideration as a rule, yet the formation and shape of the ear, will amply repay those who give it close at- tention. Our modern por- trait painters seldom go into minute detail over it. They seem content with a general outiine and a rongh touch va here and there, showing Div. I. Fig. 1. the principal points. The sculptors are more particular, especially among the antique; one seldom sees a good piece of statuary without noticing that great care has been taken to correctly model the ear, and it was regarded as worthy of study. A well-formed ear isa thing of great beauty, and, like all other works of the Creator, is exquis- itely adapted and designed for the function it performe, that of collecting and concentrating the undulations of sound. Ears vary greatly in form and size, and the peculiarities of shape they assume sometimes give an index to the character of the individual. Women have much better-shaped ears than — — — 8 — sinulier and eloser to the head. Some people possess a singu- Div. II. Fig. 2. lar muscular power over the ear and can move the upper part at will, but it is rarely met with. The ear is worth studying from an an- atomical point of view. Be- ginning with the outer fold or ridge, called the helix, which forms the outline, the ear is composed of thin cartilage and integument. The next prominent ridge is the an- tihelix, which some people have very largely developed, but in a well-formed ear pro- jects very little beyond the helix. Ohe little knob that projects from the foot of the , 3 antibelix is called the anti- Aristotie’s Ear.tragus and the corresponding Fig. 3. knob on the other side the tragus. The deep well in the center of the ear is the concha, and last of all, the fleshy rt below is called the lobe oriobule. The concha, so termed from fs shell-like form, rtant plays the most impo art in — the vibrations n the toner ear; in fact all these projections or depressions are of importance to our bearing and play their own parts in conveying the undulations of sound to the drum of the ear. Owing to the immense variety of size and form in ears it is ta somewhat dificult to definitely classify them, but they may be roughly divided into two di- Homers Far. visions, which are easily identi- fe 4. fied—Division I., with curved anging lobe, as fig. 1; Division II., with strait lobe, as fig. 2. Besides the peculiarities of shape, the ear may be large or smell, protruding or flat, and straightor sloping. Some ears have pointed tops, while others have straight. Small and thin ears usually denote delicacy and refinement, and abnormal- ly large thick ears are associated with a sensual and coarse nature. 3 Eurs of the first division Hippocrate’sEar are by far the most common, . while not more than one per- son in fifty possesses the straight · lobed ear of the second division. This pecullar- shaped ear is often hereditary, and can be traced some familes for generations. People with musical tastes generally have . large and prominent ears, while the thin angular ear is said to de- note bad temper and cruelty. The ears of great philosophers and statesmen have been noticed to be large and sloping. Mr. Gladstone’s ear has a curved hanging lobe, lies close to the head and has a sloping position, The Marquis of Salisbury’s ear is massive and well propor- tioned, and has also a sloping osition. The ear of the great apoleon was rather small, weil formed, with curved lobe. creases, the ear becomes more ar marked.

A striking instance of the brilliant anticipations of the great good to be derived from a transatlantic cable, and also of the lack of knowledge of the requirements for the success of such a scheme is furnished by a letter written to the famous Prof. IE. 8. Morse at hisrequest by Prof. Alonzo Jack- man of the Norwich (Vt.) University in August, 1816. This communication was at the time of its publication regarded as remarkable alike for the scientific skill displayed and its far- In the light of the present day it is interesting reading. THE FIRST ATLANTIO CABLE SCHEME. Prof. Jackman’s plan was to lay a submarine cable, consisting of a single wire, or rather two single wires, one for receiving and the other for transmitting messages tween this country and England. Each wire was tobe inclosed ia an India rubber tube one-tenth of an inch in diameter, and this ip its turn was to be in- closed in a lead pipe two-tenths of an inch thick. When placed on the bottom of the ocean by the work of coral insects and other analagous animals, the apparatus would ina short time be inco rated with and become a part ot the erust of the earth. A long cal- culation is made in reférence to the likelihood of the wire inclosed in lead reaching a point where the specific gravity of the water would be so great as to prevent it sinking further, and the conclusion is arrived at that, as the ocean was supposed to be twelve miles deep, nothing of the kind need be feared. There would be danger from mon- sters of the deep until the pipe became incor- porated with the crust of the earth but this, it was believed, would soon occur. Marine mousters seem to have beenasource of great anxiety to the early projectors of the sub-ma- rine cable, and next in order was the fear of submarine volcanoes. AsurvVevy was recom- mended to avoid the regions where such volcanoes prevail. Prof. Jackman, as he investigated the subject more we came to the conclusion that twenty or thirty wires could be inclosed in the same tube, and connections with as many cities made. SCHEMES FOR CABLE LAYING. In reference to the difficulties to be en- countered the writer makes the following suggestions: here would be no serious trouble, I think, in reference to ‘pipe laying,’ for when we consider the skiil exhibited by the Phila- delphians and New Yorkers in this depart- ment ot business during 1840 all fears vanish. In reference to locating pipe, I will here venture the following suggestions: One of the lines of said pipe would weigh 1,500 tons, half ot which, 750tons, would be a good cargo for a steamship. Nowlet two steamships, suffi- ciently large, each having 750 tons of said pipe jadictously coiled in the hold, accompany each other to a point half way between Boston and Liverpool; then let an artist splice the two halves of the apparatus together, wire to wire, rubber to rubber, and pipe to pipe. Next let one ship head towards Boston, the other towards Liver- pool, and each put on steam’’ and pay out pipe according to the circumstances of the case. The pipe would sink down and admirably tay to the bed of the ocean. In like manner and at the same time the other line of pipe might be located. Thus,ina few days, would be located in the two pipes 36 or more distinct telegraphs, by which 72 or more large cities might be connected; the proportional expense for each city would be buta drop in the bucket. Instead ofeach pipe being located by two steamers a greater number might be em- ployed and kept in their — gs direction by others (if nesessary) stationed in sight of each other for guides onthe line, as the locomot- ivesteamers should respectively separate from and meet with each other; well-instructed artists might splice the apparatus and let it go down. Thus in one day the two lines of pipe could: be from America to uropes. In order to prevent the lead pipe from breaking, let strong bands of iron (each hav- ing holes drilled through them to pass wires) be sifpped * and well soldered to the exterior Qt the pipe; these bands should be at suitable istances from gach other—say 1,000 feet. Moreover, let a sufficient number of strong wires be stretched between every two con- secutive bands, into which their extremities shall be well fastened; also, let the whole be wound with spun yarn or something more suitable; and thisin order to keep these e2- terior wires close to the pipe while handling it under yarious circumstances. Apparatus thus supported will sustain, of its own length, in space, about five and a half miles, and in salt water about seven miles. Thus far we see that our gg will probably be adequate to any depth of the ocean. Should the ocean prove to be too deep for the strength of our apparatus to sustain a length that would reach to the bottom it may by means of attaching buoys, be suspended ack in in the water a. a suitable depth below the surface, and thus abate the strain that would otherwise be exerted on the appuratus while aying it out ot the ship. These buoys should be of such a nature as would absorb the water slowly and thus gradually sink and ultimately reach the bottom, For this purpose many kinds of seasonwood will answer. If it should de thought necessary to ro- tard the sinking process still more, the buoys might be overlaid with some chemical preparation which it would require the water a given time to dissolve. Therefore everything may become subjected to the will of the engineers. Hence, said * paratus can be located with perfect safety in any desirable part of the ocean. A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Of the thirty-sixor more distinct telegraphs, let us suppose the distribution to be some- thing like the following: Let Boston, New York and Philadelphia each have four sorts of wires connecting them, respectively, ac- cording to their choice, with four European vities. In the same manner let Baltimore and Charleston each have one set of wires; New Or- leans three and Washington seven, connect- ing it, if necessary, with as mauy capitais of Europe. Moreover, suppose four sets of wires lead off from London, destined for Canada, China, Caloutta and Botany Bay; also let four sets of wires from PF be destined for the Pacific region; and let the Spanish and the Dutch each have two sets, destined for their East India possession. In like manner more cities and nations might ictpate in the Grand Compound Telegraph. Thus the thirty- six sets of wires are disposed of.

The ocean cable has been laid, although not In precisely the manner specified. How many of the prophesied benefits have ensued is a question. A New Submarine Boat. The Goubet, the name of the boat built by a private firm at the expense of the State, says the Cologne Gazette, is a little boat 5.60 meters long and 1.58 meters broad. It can hold two men. The body of the craft is cast in bronze of a single piece, and can therefore beara v high pressure. It is moved by elec- tricity, which, in case ot failure, can be re- placed by oars. Completely armed it weighs 6,000 kilogrammes (about 12,000 pounds), and —— therefore be transported easily every- where. The electricity, as may be safely assumed, accumulatora in the boat; Ddut it seems that this propelling force can also be transferred to the boat from land or from a ship accompanying the Goubet by means ofa wire, which would naturally con- siderably hamper the movements of the sub- marine craft. Thestores of compressed air are said to last for twenty-four hours and can, by an automatic arrangement, be so distrib- uted that the state ofthe air in the ship is constant. The boat was immersed for eight hours at a of ten meters, with two sallors in it, and these latter experienced not the slightest inconvenience durin that erlod. advantage it is claimed or the boat that it can ata word of command sink any depth, greatest probably ten meters, remain there, and change its position at will. The sinking and rising In the water, it is said, can be executed with the greatest regularity, which is not the case apparently with the Spanish submarine boat ‘‘Peral’’ and the other French boast **Gymnote.’’ Electricity and the Full Moon. A rather novel comparison was recently made by Prof. J. L. Black of Kansas Dniver- sity at Lawrence, Kan. He compared the brightness of the ligot of the full moof with the arc lights of that city, by means of a suita- ble photometer. At a distance of 100 feet from the arc light he found its 8 bright- ness to be about twenty-five times that of the full moon. This means thatif are lights of the same brightness as those in Law- rence are placed at a distance of fifty feet above the earth, the brightness of their light, as seen from the base of the tower, will be about a hundred times that of the full moon, or rather more than that if the aro light is viewed at the angle of greatest illumination. It also indicates that if arc lights of this brightness are placed 1,000 feet apart, at the point — 4 between them the brightness of the electric light will be equaltothat of the full moon. New Use for the Phonograph. A New York paper says Thomas A. Edison has made a contfact with the Mexican Gov- ernment to furnish the post-offices of the republic with phonographs to be used for the transmission of messages. In place of writing a letter, a Mexican hereafter can say what he wants to say and the wax impression of his tone will de forwarded to the post-office nearest to the residence of the person for whom the message is intended. The latter will be notified on its arrival, and the message will be ground out to him by the local phono- gtaph. As the vast majority of the Mexican population cannot read or write, it is believed that the phonograph will be extensively used in correspondence. Look Out for Your Water Colors. Mr. J. J. Hissey of Raven 's Moat, Last- bourne, writes: Nov that the electric light is being generally introauced into our houses, it may be well to caution those possessing valuable water color paintings against placing the electric lights in close proximity to their piotures, as Ihave found, after three years’ experience of the electric (incandescent) ig tin my own bome, that so placed the new Uluminant is sufficiently powerful to cause some of the more delicate pigments to fade to a greater or lesser degree. ater colors that are safe lu diftused daylight are certainly not always so when exposed night after night, for many hours, to the active white light of elec- tricity close at hand. THE quality and superiority of Dr. Enno Sander’s mineral waters have been testified to by over 300 leading physicians and professors of colleges. Why will you use any that are not warranted? Oscar Wilde at Present. From a London Letter. The Oscar Wilde who made himself famous in America a few years ago is not the Oscar Wilde of to-day. Thelong hair has been cut and is now short and curly. The knee breecbes have been put away carefully, the lackadaisical air is no longer worn, and the Oscar Wilde of London to-day is a straight, strong, broad-shouldered, atnletie fellow, witb no nonsense about him, and an evident determination on bis face to make fame and money. The Wilde craze, so far as England is concerned, la over.
