Special Cablegram te the Pest-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 28. _~, RETAN affairs have reached the critical J point. The recent ac- tion taken by the Turkish Government bas brought matters to the stage at which though there may be i a ino delay in the workings | out of the conse- quences, the ultimate result can only be a renowal of the troubles in the island. Astate ot things will then arise which can hardly fail to call for European interference. The European con- cert having been for years in suspense, the interference will come from two sides and will refiect the general policy of the two groups into which the powers are at present divided. English politicians say the practical question for them is whether they intend their own government to keep aloof, or to act with either group, and if so with which. In the absence of any strong and gen- eral expression of preference the English Government will undoubtedly continue to pursue a policy inconsistent with English traditions, opposed to the principles of free government and dangerous to the best inter- ests ofthe empire. Yhetime has gone by for holding the judgment in suspense for there is no longer any doubt about the substantial outline of the facts. AMNESTY A FARCE. The Porte’s amnesty proclamation was a mere farce. No persons were mentioned by name as permitted to return or as guaranteed their liberty. There is no expunging of the record, and moreover it was expressly de- clared that ofienders against the criminal law shall not be included in the amnesty. This was equivalent to declaring plainly that tbe Turks reserved the right of executing, Im- prisoning and flogging whomsoever they chose to. This they have been doing with the same activity as before the amnesty proclamation was issued. The Cretan refugees in Greece have aroused the sympathy of the Hellenes and great press- ure is brought upon the Greek government to induce it to relax the strict repression hitherto exercised upon those who would send arms and ammunition to Crete. The scene In the Greek Parliament the other day proves that M. Tricoupis endangers his position by this restraint. The moment he gives way to public opinion or is compelled to make way for another Minister the Cretans willreceive supplies. Then will commence a war of extermination in Crete between Christians and Turks. The powers of Kurope will thus be compelled to make a second in- ferterence . THE KEY TO THE SITUATION. Earl Granville, Mr. Giadstone’s former Foreign Secretary, in speaking on the subject to-day said: „The key to the situation is notin Crete, notin Athens or in Constantinople nor even in Berlin, but in London. The policy of Berlin is to avoid a war. For this end everything will be ignored unless it affects a real or sup- posed German interest or a vital interest real or supposed of one of the parties to the Triple Alliance. Germany has no interest in Crete at all and neither Austria nor Italy has such an interest as would make either of them call the Triple Alliance into the field on its behalf. France and Russia are without direct motives for preventing a union of Orete with Greece and it is probable that they will de- cline to join in any future demogstration against Greece. It would seem therefore, at firstsi it, as though it would be easy for Salisbury, if he cared a jot for doing an act of statesmanship, by removing the cause of all the trouble, to secure a solution of the diffi- culty favorable to the Cretans. The Sultan’s suzeranity over Crete prior to the landing of Chakir Pasha was a mere matter of tribute and of words. A little pressure, and the offer of a round sum to be paid by Greece and Crete, would make it worth the Porte’s while to cede the island; while it would be better for Greece to pay a heavy price rather than incur all the risks involved in the present state of things. IN LINE WITH THE ALLIANCE. „But Lord Salisbury doubtless has other reasons apart from his lack of statesmaniike insight for avoiding this course, He has drifted or moved intentionally into line with the Triple Alliance.. At every turn he is kept in bounds by the magic word ‘Egypt’ pro- pounced at Berlin. In small matters he is al- lowed concessions for the sake of appear- anees. Butin important matters the German Government keeps to its object, which is to eouvince France and Russia that in case of trouble England will be either on t side of the Central Powers or in an attidude of neu- trality favorable to them. The Foreign Office at Berlin wants no territorial changes in Eu- rope at present, forthey would forestall the a 5 moment when, after the next war, Germany will remodel the map. Neither must there be ada check to German diplomacy such as a settle- mont of the Cretan quarrel on lines which are 5 cee Moreover, the Sultan must misrule.’’ be kept in the leading strings of the alliance into which he has been so cleverly and suc- cessfully drawn. Prince Bismarck told all the world how he duped Lord Salisbury at Berlin in 1878, He is now repeating the game, apparently to Lord Salisbury’s entire satis- faction. It is time the English public looked Into the matter and gave Lord Salisbury to understand, in terms not to be misunder- stood, that English feeling and opinion are on the side of Greek freedom and not of Turkish —_— BIRTH OF THE REPUBLIC. Gen. |Fonseca’s Brother Tells the Stery of the Brazilian Revolution. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Fim ARIS, Dec. 28,--Sen- shor Simoes Da Fon- seca, brother of Gen. Da Fonseca, Chief of » the Provisional Gov- ernment of the ; £Gin ~an\ United States ot Brazil, has arrived 1 in this city. He was sent by his brother to ascertain the feei- ing of his country- menin Europe, and especially in France, with Wer, to the change ot Goverument made in Brazil, and to assure all persons directly concerned in the commercial and financial affairs of Brazil, that the change will in no-wise affect their interests. As the personal representative of the General, he has lost no time in informing the bankers and merehants here, that the new Government will continue to recognise all obligations in- curred by the old regime. In pursuance of the purpose of his mission Senhor Simoes has entered upon the publica- tion of a journal, entitled La Courriere Da Brazil, devoted to the explanation and de- tense of the new order of things and to the maintenance and promotion of Brazilian se- curities and Brazilian interests generally. THE CAUSE OF THE REVOLUTION As the man best informed of the views of the new government and of its chief, and fresh from the headquarters of the revolution, Senhor Simoes was waited upon by your correspondent and readily aecorded him an interview, during which he freely | Y | yl The Flag of the Republic. spoke ofthe great change which has been effected. He said the chief causes of the movement were the intolerant and intoler- able religious views of the Crown Princess, Isabella; constant infringment upon the peo- ple’s rights by the court party; insults offered the army and the disgraceful means employed in the last election to defeat the Republicans. The Princess, Who never had the esteem of the greater portion of Brazilians, took it upon herself 4s Regent during the absence of the Emperor in Europe to play a dangerous role in political affairs. She interfered in the reorganization of the Ouro Preto ministry, which as already formed by the Emperor contained Republi- cans. The Princess dismissed all the Repub- lican Ministers and replaced them by mem, bers of her household, of whose loyalty to the throne she wassure. The new Ministers had neither prestige nor experience in political affairs. The idea of the Princess Regent was to insure the throne by centralizing the ad- ministration. INTERFERING WITH ELECTIONS. Added to this was the constant attitude of the Count d' Eu, whose offensive policy made him the most unpopular member of the im- perial family. In every move the Republic- ans made the heavy hand of the Count was felt. His obstructive and hostile action dur- ing the election of October 6 contributed largely to incresse the popular discontent which led to the revolution. Through his ad- vice the Government employed every method of fraud and violence to prevent the Repub- licans from voting. Men with Republican bal- lots were denied access to the polls and Repub- lican placards were torn down by the police wherever found. The press was muzzied and the writers who dared express liberal views wore thrown into prison. The result of all this was an overwhelming majority for the government andthe formation of an exclu- sively monarchbical government. Among those who brought about this success recompenses were freely distributed in the form of titles. Ina short space of time ninety barons and viscounts were created. Senators were pro- moted to the peerage and small politicians were decorated with imperial orders. GROWTH OF REPUBLICANISM. Undeterred by defeat at the polis the Re- publicans continued their aggressive policy. Finding itself unable to make use of the army to persecute the Liberals the Government ap- pealed tothe negroes. They were reminded of the fact that to the stroke of the Imperial pen they owed their liberty. This call upon their gratitude succeeded and resulted in the organization of the ‘‘Guarda Nigra,’’ which was used to attack the Republicans on all sides. Next the National Guard was formed out of the militia as a counter check tothe regular army in which the monarchical party had lost confidence. To further carry on their crusade against the Republicans large sums were voted and land owners were heavily taxed. The latter, originally slave holders, became dissatisfied with their actions and with the hasty and ar- bitrary abolition of slavery and gave their support to the Republicans. The soldiers be- came imbued with the Republican spirit. Then the imperial throne began to totter. THE FINAL BLOW. The final blow was given it wnen the Em- peror sanctioned the return of the Jesuits, who had been a long time expelled from Brazilian territory. For this actthe Crown Princess, whose work it really was, received from the Pope the Golden Rose.The Emperor was over- influenced by the Princess, whose bigotry has always made her unpopular and who has con- stantly labored to muke Brazil tributary to the Pope. Six bishops were created at onse and cardinals’ hats solicited from the Holy Father for favored prelates of the court. This was going too far. The people pro- tested, but in vain. The Oabinet was thoroughly conservative and atone with the court. The Emperor was implored to modify the Ministry. He failed to act promotiy and missed the opportunity of saving his crown. It was not until the people had risen and de- manded to be heard that the Emperor gave them ahearing. Buthis deposition had al- ready been decreed. Gen. Fonseca received notice that his majesty had formed a new Mintstry and that a portfolio was waiting for him. It was then too late. The revolution bad been accomplished. A BLOODLESS REVOLUTION. Senhor Simoes says it was Gen. Fonseoa’s | — 0 ) = great destre to see the revolution completed without bioodshed, and he personally knew it was his brother’s sincere wish to put the Emperor and Empress to as little inconven- fence as possible. The Emperor was much loved and he could not be held accountable for acts, which had been forced upon him. It was his subjection to the baleful influences of the Princess and the Count D’Eu which was fatal to him. It was a blessing that the change happened in Dom Pedro's time, Had the Princess been upon the throne there would have been a lamentable shedding of blood. The revolution was a popular one. The fact that no biood was shed was due to the fraternization of the people and the troops. Tue Government was in equal har- mony with the army and the people. The revolution was an accomplished fact and the Republic was bound to remain. There could be no turning back. The Naturalization Proposition. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Dec. 28.— A vast number of the foreign residents of Brazil have protested against the naturalization scheme of the Pro- visional Government. A number of French, Portuguese, German and Italian merchants residing and doing business in Brazil have applied to their respective governments for protection. They do not wish to interfere with Brazilian politics, but say they will not submit to the loss of their national rights. Should the Provisional Government dispute those rights they will leave the country after disposing of their business. Baron DePenido, late Imperial Minister of Brazil to England, is preparing a vamphlet in which he will reveal the intrigues of the Re- public prior to the overthrow ofythe Empire. No Outbreak at Para. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTCca. New Yorn, Dec. 28.—Mr. Ohas. R. Flint of 142 Pearl street received a cablegram from Para this morning, saying that the situation in Brazil was unchanged. Nothing In the dis- patch indicated that there had been anz out- break, and Mr. Flint says that if there had been his correspondent would have notified him. At the officeof W. R. Grace & Co. in Hanover Square a dispatch was also received this morning from Brazil, saying that ex- change had declined M cents = A BROKEN HEART. Cause of the Fatal Illness of the Ex-Em- press of Brazil. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LiIsBoN, Dec. 28. — The death of the Empress of Brazil was most peaceful. The Emperor was with her to the last. He left Lisbon with Her Majesty sooner than he had contemplated doing on account of the failing condition of her health and sought the warmer clime and quiet of Oporto, instead of going to Cannes. He found the Empress could not bear the fa- tigue of the long railway journey and feared the passage across the Pyrenees at this sea- son. Thechange of airand scene could not save her. She was not well when she was forced go rudely and suddenly to leave Brazil. 760 pA NX) 61 Hf 77 Y { et — * — LA The Late Ex-Empress of Brazil. From the shock she received on that occasion she never recovered. It is announced that she died of disease of the heart. Her heart was broken when she was expelied from her be- loved country by those whom she dearly loved. All Europe is in mourning for this gentle spirit, whose only sin was the crown she wore. The remains will be temporarily deposited in a mortuary chapel in the Lapa Convent here, and will be afterwards taken to Lisbon for intermentin the Royal Pantheon. The ‘municipal authorities of the city, returning in full state from the celebration of the King’s proclamation in the Cathedral, went to the hotel of the ex-Emperor to offer their con- dolences, but Dom Pedro was so overcome by the event that he could not receive them. The Oardinal Archbishop of Oporto also called. The Empress, Princess Senhora Theresa, Christina Maria, was born March 14, 1822, the daughter of Francis I., King of ths Two Sicilles. She was married to Dom rearo Sep- tember 4, 1843, she being then 21 and he 18. In 1844 a son, the Prince Imperial, Don Alfonso, was born tothe imperial couple, but he died the following year. In 184 the Princess Isabella was born, and in 1847 her sister, the Donna Leopoldina, of whom the elder one only survives the wife of Count D’Eu. The Princess Leopoldina married in 1864 Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and died in 1871, leaving four sons. The Em- press spent her long married life in assisting her husband in contributing to the charities of her adopted country and watching over the education of her daughters and their chil- dren. She always held aloof from the affairs of State. She was one of the recipients of the Goiden Rose. In every way she was an ex- emplary woman and Princess. -— FRANCE A FIREBRAND. She Is Sewing the Seeds of Republicani«em ih Europe. ARIS, Dec. 28.—It has Gipleased the Italian authorities to consider that the revolutionary appeals posted up in various parte of the os country are due to N French machinations, Se a conciusion that is om not generally accept- ed. Italy has enough anti- -monarchy mate- uae i rial at home to ac- — count fur such demon- strations and nothing could be more natural than that they should caliupon their inflam- matory brethren to imitate the Brazilians and establish an Italian Republic. The hesita- tion as to the re-establishment of the death penalty in Italy is said to be due to the fear of an outbreak on the part of the irredentists, a view of the case which is certainly not very flattering to that faction. It is certain that since the abolition of capital punishment crimes of violence have increased in Italy to an alarming degree, and the Gov- ernment sees no resource but to legalize its infliction again. It is probable that there would be a dead set against France by the combined mpnarchies of Europe were they sufficientiy sure of the continued subordina- tion of their own people. France is, as the . . ee er da rande, in the midst of com - bustible materials, and recent activity at Sheen Hona and the air of mysterious elation assumed by the supporters of the Comte de Paris seem to prove that the rumored asgsur- ances of good will and assistance from abroad have some foundation. It may be regarded as settied that there can be no alliance be- tween Russia and France so long as the latter nation continues to be a republic, and this may be looked upon as one of the most im- portant consequeaces of the quiet ene of Dom Pedro. PROCLAIMED KING. Carlos I. Formally Made Kuler of the People of Portugal, * Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lisnon, Dec. 28. ANY were the cheers which rent the air in the streets of Lisbon to-day, for the for- mal accession of Carlos I. as King of Portugal was pro- claimed at the great palace this morning ¢ with elaborate and f impredsive ceremo- The day was cloudy, but not un- pleasant, and the people turned out en masse to witness what they could of the ceremonies, The most in- teresting features of the occasion, however, were observed within the walls of the Pelace of Necessidades, where the oath was taken before the Cortes and Carlos I. was crowned King of Portugal and of the ancient and now forgotten King Carlos I. Kingdom of Algarey. This bad been preceded by a brilliant pageant, the King and royal family driving from the castie at Belem through the streets to the palace surrounded by the dignitaries of the kingdom and amid the cheers of the populace. After the coro- nation the procession resumed to the Town Hall, where the Presidont of the Municipality handed the keys of the city to the King. Queen Amelia, though not entirely recovered from her attack of influenza, was able to ac- company the King in the procession. Relations With the United States. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2%.—An official of the State Department said to-day regarding the possible troubles between this country and Portugal growing out of the Delagoa Bay Rallroad controversy, to which reference was made yesterday in a New York evening paper, that he was disposed on the whole to regard the story as untrue. He added, however, by way of explanation, that last June, wheu the trouble first began, Secretary Blaine cabled Minister Loring at Lisbon to see that the rights of Americans involved were amply protected. There has been beyond this, he thinks, no further correspondence upon this subject. Secretary Tracy said: ‘‘I know nothing about Mr. Blaine’s depart- ment. This mayormay notbe true, so far as the State Department is concerned, but it is absolutely untrue so far as the Navy De- partment is concerned. The squadron of evolution went to Lisbon because it was the firstofanumber of places they were told to visit. They willgofrom there to Gibraltar and they will continue to put in at different ports until their cruise is ended. There L no more significance in the appearance at Lisbon than there will be at any other Mediterranean or eontinental port. I will go further and say there is no international diMiculty between Portugal and this country that makes the presence of the squadron necessary there, nor anywhere else for that matter.’’ Mr. F. de Sousa Rosa, the recently appoint- ed Portuguese Minister to this country, said: There is nothing inthe controversy that is liable to cause trouble between the United Statesand Portugal. There is nothing in it whatever that cannot be peaceably settled through the ordinary diplomatic channels. — — O’SHEA’S SENSATION, A Move to Injure the Irish Cause Through Parnell. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. ONDON, Dec. 28. — O’Shea’s sensational move to drag Mr. Parnell be- fore the divorce court was not unex- pected. He has been threatening to do it ever since the Com- mission adjourned. In his pleading O'Shea simply burn- ished up the charge he made two years ago about Parnell’s Charles Stewart Parnell. intimacy with his wife, and supplements it with specific accusations. Up to last month it was based on the report of a private detective employed for the purpose, O‘Shea names a house near Regent’s Park where Parnell wasin the habitof visiting, &lao a prominent house on the esplanade at Brighton. He merely sues for divorce, mak- ing noclaimsfor damage. However, he has contrived to pull. himself from oblivion and furnishes the sensation of the hour. Such a man as this against the Irish League possesses no less political than personal interest. The trial is set for next month, and will probably be in full force about the time the report of the Parnell Commigsion comes in. Since O’Shea testified before the commission Par- nell has not récognized him. Parnell is notnow in London, The Post- DISPATCH correspondent called on O’Shéa and tried in vain to get him to talk about the case. I have broughta petitionfor divorce and expect to get it, he said. ‘*That’s enough for the public to know now. I am not the man to waste my powder talking to a newspaper. Whatever charges 1 have made against Parnell lam prepared to prove. PURELY A POLITICAL uno. One of Mr. Parnell's supporters said to- night: It is the generally accepted theory that che action is purely a political move, and | opponents. doubt in the mind of any man who has the story, and almost everybody has, thas O'Shea after calmly acquiescing for several years in the relations between his wife and Parnell blackmailed the latter into securing him a seat in Parliament which he did in. the face of the bitter o ition of his trusted of the personal friendship of several of them, the breach lasting to this day. It is to the lasting creaitof Mr. Parnell, however, that when O'Shea betrayed him in Parliament he had the courage to squeeze him out ot his ‘goat ig the House and dare him to do nis worst. This O'Shea is now making an effort todo, asthe tool of Mr. Parneli’s political The general belief ig thet Mr. Parnell will admit the relations with Mrs. O'Shea alleged in the complaint and show conclusively that they existed with knowledge and consent of O’Shea, thus pre- venting the Captain from nn. a d- vyoree.’’ The publication of the fact that O’Shea had begun the action created a great sensation in Dublin. Mr. T. P. O'Connor’s paper, the Star, makes no mention of the matter what- soever. MUST REFUTE THE CHARGE. The view above expressed ie not shared dy all Parnellites. A gentleman who has fol- jowed the Irish movement says he knows the djenesis of the present case. He says that if Mr. Parnell is not able to refute the allega- tions made against him in Capt. O’Shea’s peti- tion for divoroe, nothing can save him from deposition, and unless he can disproye be- yond question this attack upon his personal character he will be repudiated by Arch- bishop Croke,Archbishop Walsh and the other able bishops and priests without whose aid and friendship no man can hope to carry on the popular movement in Ireland. Some of Mr. Parnell’s warmest friends have feared some such sensational explosion: as this for years. They used to wonder at first, three or four years ago, where Parnell se- creted himself at various intervals, until they learned that most of his time was spent at Capt. O’Shea’s house, What the great Pariia- mentarian saw in the Captain they ‘could not make out. Their wonder increased when O’ Shea proved an ingrate to his party and Mr. Parpeil tried to shield him from the indigna- tion of his wrathy colleagues. Then it was that grave suspicions were awakened in their minds as to the actual eit- uation, But they are perplexed all the same, for they knew that if their suspicions were correct, Mr. O’Shea must necessarily have been aware ofthe circumstances, if not act- ually a party to them. Parnell’s influence was not great enough to restore O'Shea to the prestige and place he haa formerly occupied in the Irish Parliamentary purty, for Tim Healy and the other leading spirits refused to have anything to do with him. En- raged at his disappointment, O’Shea crowned his treachery to Parnell and the party by appearing as a witness for the Times and swearing to the genuineness of Mr. Parnell’s signatures to the forged letters. Even then the Irish leader treated O’Shea with a forbearance that astonished all who bad no suspicion of anything wrong. But some of the most influential ofthe Par- nell colleagues have steadily refused to take any stock in the aspersions cast upon their leader’s character, and they will probably regard this divorce petition as Capt. O’Shea’s last and most degenerate attempt to ruin the reputation of the man to hurt whom he blithely perjured himself at the instance of the gang behind the Times conspiracy. There are, however, circumstances that give an air of credibility to the story, but it is pos- sible that Mr. Parnell may be able to explain these to the satisfaction of the pablic. Un- less his explanation is conclusive the man who has been the unquestioned and idolized leader of the Irish people for almost @ decade must step to the rear. The men next to him in authority, are John Dillon, William O’Brien, Thomas Sexton and Thomas Healy. Mr. Dillon ig at present in Australia. WAITING FOR THE WORD. London Gas Stokers Discussing the Question of a General Strike. &pecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch, ONDON, Dee. 23.— London is walting to-night to s¢@6 whether the gas stokers are going to play their last card— ordering a general strike. In South London several thousand gas stokers are still out, but so far as it concerns the public supply of gas the strike there has collapsed. But this is the day on which the union gas stokers in other parts of London were going to hand in notices of quitting work, if the demands of the South London men were not acceded to. No notices were handed in up to to-night até o’clocs. The unions in charge of making such a serious move are hesitating. The mat - ter is under discussion at a mass- meeting to- night. A general strike may be ordered before morning. BNGLAND’S FINANCES, The Chancellor of the Exchequer has received fresh information from the depart- ments concerned as to the flourishing con- dition and prospects of the revenue. There is no doubt that something resembling one of the ‘‘leaps and bounds’’ of the time of Gladstone at the Exchequer has taken place and the revenue from the income tax, from the taxes of intoxicating drinks and from stamps will be found to have made a very considerabie upward movement. For the first time in the history of finance the „penny in the pound’’ income tax has pro- duced over two million pounds, This is said to be due not only to the ingprovement in trade and@to the fact that a redaced rate of income tax generally yields better returns because there is leas evasion, bat also the strieter methods of collection, which experience has developed. In fact, Mr. Goschen will next year be able to show a a better condition of the revenue than has exiated in any recent year, and he will be in a position to make a budget which certainly need not be what he himself has termed hum · drum. PRESENTS TO GLADSTONE. Mr. Gladstone onthe occasion of hig Sth birthday, which occurs to-morrow, has al- ready received a vast number of presents and remembrances from workingmen and working-women in all parts of the kingdom and is also the recipient of costly gifts and hearty expressions of good will from hun- dreds of gentiemen and ladies of rank without regard to political opinion.

Ite Creation Weuld Change the Balance of Power at Sea. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. ONDON, Dec. 28. : Lord Charles eresford speaking of the new American Navy to-aay, said: The creation of a powerful navy by the United States would make a serious change in the balance of mill- 32 power at sea. During several years there bas been carried on, under the auspices of the two military departments, a study of the proceedings by which a navy may be best created, and the modes of manufacture of heavy guns with whicn ſt should be armed. A beginning of manufacture has been made and these efforts will undoubtedly be continued. A fleet which should hape eight ironclads in the Pacific and twelve in the Atlantic would rival that of any but the stronger naval powers of Europe. The present Secretary of the United States Navy aims at nothing short of this. In addition be wants an equal number of coast-defense ironclads, carrying guns of the largest caliber. The fact that such a scheme is receiving the hearty approval of the American people is of great moment. No doubt the United States are as yet not strong- ly infected with the militarism now rampant in continental Europe. The one Mea which at present is expressed by American advocates of naval preparation, is defense, The United States are not willing in an age of armies and navies to leave either the Pacific or the At- lantic seaboard exposed to some unexpected attack, But the European strategists, re- sponsible for advising their own Governments upon matters of attack and defense, though they will doubtless assume on the partof the United States a pacific and non - interfering pol- loy as regards Europe, will yet de unable to leave out of their calculations the existence of these American ships of war. They are in addition to the total available forces of pos- sible friends or enemies. The result will be sooner or later a further increase of European demands. The militarism of Europe has penetrated in a preliminary non-acute form into America. 4 few more years will prob- ably bring a reaction into Europe of thig unfortunate contagion.’’ n A PLEA FOR SOCIALISTS.

Lonpon, Dec. 28.—A singular story comes from Dresden. A prominent American now in London, whose name for obvious reasons is withheld, who was there last week, reestved a note from the wife of Judge George Barrett of New York, saying that she had been vio- lently seized by her husband’s orders and placed in a private lunatic asylum near Dres- den and deprived of all liberty. Your correspondent was permitted to read the letter, which was signed Tours in sor- row, G. O. Barrett. In it Mrs. Barrett says: I have no strength to write you details. [ can only say that it is a high-banded outrage, that I am helpiess—most helpless.’’ This will be a great surprise to Mrs. Bar- rett’s friends. She wasa widow of a Cuban and kept a boarding- house in New York when Judge Barrett, then an almost unknown young lawyer who was boarding with der, married her. He was much younger than she. Mrs. Barrett was a woman of talent and fine manners. Her daughter, Gertrude Bar- rett, whom Judge Barrett adopted, was «a handsome girl. She died two years ago in Judge Barrett’s house In New York. He has one daughter by this marriage, about 20 years. old. Mrs. Barrett has lived abroad many years. She has been very unhappy recently about domestic troubles, but Americans who have met her in Germany this summer never quéstioned her sanity. EMIN PASHA, * The Egyptian Government Will Reward 1 Heroic Services. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch, Lorpun, Dec. 28.—The Egyptian Govern- ment is seriously considering the question of retiring Emin Pasha on a pension in resog- nition of his heroie services as Governor of the last Egyption province in interior Africa. It is thought likely, however, that he will be asked by Germany to co-operate with Maj. Wissman in the establishnient of commercial ports in Southeast Africa, in which case the contemplated action of Egypt will be neld in abeyance, Emin’s recovery is more doubtfal than ever.

Special Cablegram te the Post-Dispateh Paris, Dec. 28. OT a moment too soon Frenchmen are waking up t the fact that the officials have been concealing the real facts of the infiu- enza epidemic. They have been re- peating over and over again that the present epidemic was not serious; that it cannot, un- der any circum- stance, éndanger human life, and that no prophylatic measures were called for. To-day Paris is on the verge of a panic, because its death rate has bounded to the startling figures of cholera days, and undertakers are issuing notices that they are too busy to make anything but plain oak and deal coffins. Not a family in Paris seems to have escaped the disease. In some cases all the members of the household have been prostrated at the same time. In others the servants are seized and their employers attend to their own wants. Upto Thursday nightthe total num- ber ofdeaths by theofficial returns was 586, which would raise the average mortality per week to over 4,000,ahigher figure than the severest cholera epidemic. Since Thursday matters have been growing worse inmstead of better. The Compagne des Pompes Funebres, which has a monopoly of the burials, finds itseif una dle to meet the demands upon it, and has obtained leave from the authorities to dis- pense with the decoration of houses and churches with funeral draperies. There is the same aiarming condition of affairs all over France. There have been many cases of the epidemic injithe fleet at Brest, although the outbreak is stated to be on the decline there, while Lyons seems to be completely at the mercy of the malady. Many large places of business in Lyons have been completely disorganized, owing to the spread of iliness among the employes, while the sanitary condition of che troops in the district igs anything but satisfactory. At Lille the number of cases have increased five fold since the beginning of the weak. The situation appears to be equally serious throughout the Northeast of France. In Lyons all the schools have broken up. The large warehouses and shops there are thrown into disorder by the illness of their staffs. Three soldiers died yesterday at Versailles. The autopsy showed a state of the lungs ex- actiy similar.to cows that died of rinderpest. During the week the infinenza has spread rapidly where the cases are most numerous. The Casino is almost deserted. Travelers arriving here from Spain say the disease is almost as bad there. In Madrid it is violently epidemic. In Lisbon there are 2.000 cases in the hospitals. The Dread Grip Described. Special Cablegram tothe Post-DidPatch, PARIS, Dec. 28.—To-day all Europe is the victim of an epidemic, and the most interest- ing subject discussed at the present time is the dengue fever. Some have tried to prove that the dengue is like Amerivan hay fever, butthereis little resemblance between the Giseases. Dengue is common in India, Persia and Egypt, and for the first time last summer was introduced into Smyrna by a Jewish fam- lly who emigrated from Beyrout. In no two countries are the symptoms similar. Some- times the attack is sudden, at others the fever is prevedea by warnings that cannot be mis- taken. ~ In Paris the first symptom is bigh fever, with chills, pains in head, back and limbs, so severe that the patient groans and even screams in his agony. It is almost impossible to open the eyes because of weakness of the muscles, and the tongue is brown, sometimes black, with red edges. Every one afflicted with dengue fever has distaste for all kinds of nourishment, solid and liquid. At the end of three or four days an eruption appears. Some- times this resembles scarlet fever, sometimes measies. It the case be a severe one the fever continues ten, or even fifteen days, but usu- ality the patient is convalescent at the end of the sixth day. However, convalescence is vory slow, and for days, even weeks, one who has passed through the dengue fever cannot est and has hardly strength enough to speak. HOW IT CAME TO PARIS. ‘ae There isadifference of opinion about the cause of this fever in Paris. Some physicians day that Paris is on the road over which gweeps the epidemic, others that the germs of disease were breught in the Oriental carpets designed bythe Louvre dry goods house for — the January exhibition. In any case, the dis- rr * + Sth 1 2 - a Ha * “ 00 l here, and ite first appearanoe was made atthe Louvre. For days the secret was kept, pecause during the holidays all these large > q 9 establishments gain immense sums of money; acknowledgment would be utter defeat—ruin for the entire season, and only when 700 em- were confined to their houses with an al inexplicable disease did the public know what + fe a 2 , p ’ } és ble guest had reached Paris. as To- dey there are thousands of victims in . be city; every school and almost every pub - ppe Filling More Graves lic {nstitution counts from twenty to five dred patients. Nearly every person who has been to the Louvre to make purchases during the past week now pays for sucn rashness by suffering from the dengue fever. From the Louvre the malady has spread through Paris. Several Deputies are attacked, and there is serious talk of closing the Chamber. Mme. de Freyeinet and Mme. Yves Guyot are both victims, and the reporters who have been making inquiries for their journals are expe- rleneing the horrors of dengue fever. RAVAGES OF THE MALADY. At the Department of Posts and Telegraphs, Rue de Grenelle, are employed 550 men and 420 women; to-day 300 are absent. At the Lycee Saint Louis eighty pupils and pital. The Polytechnic School is closed for two or three days because more than halt the pupils are ill, and the presence of dengue has just been declared at the School of High Commer- cial: Studies. Lycee Condorcet has sixty cases, and it is proposed to close the schoo! for a time. are panic-stricken. Many already have the disease, and one who was well yesterday, as fell on the stones of the courtyard a victim of dengue. Saint-Oyr, the great military school, is closed, the pupils are cared for in the hos- pital and no outsider is allowed to approach the building. Other large establishments would do well to ‘follow the example of St. Cyr, but the French learn only from bitter experience. The physicians appointed by Government to investigate have certainly considered the dis: ease with too little attention. Of course, dengue at the present time is not so serious a malady as cholera or typhoid fever, but Drs. Bronardel and Proust should not forget that in the last century dengue ranked with conta- gious diseases, of which we have the greatest fear at the present time. What to-day may be a simple indisposition to-morrow may be a plague. IN OTHER PARTS OF EUROPE. In Russia the people are in a state of fright, as Moscow, Warsaw and St. Petersburg are all afflicted with the epidemic. The hospitals of Vienna are filled with dengue patients, and at Spandau, in Germany, 600 workmen in the powder factories are suffering from the fever. A famous German scientist says that the disease was known in the thirteenth century, and that then the symptoms were the same as now. He also says that the epidemic travels in a certain direction and at a rate of speed that may very easily be calculated. As proof, he cites the fact that a ship’s crew was attacked by the disease in mid-ocean at just the time it was estimated that the air charged with poison must have passed over the vessel It is said that since the year 1510 there have been 300 epidemics of this kind, and in 1729 there was not a city in Europe free from the disease. Then it was often fatal and in Lon- don more than one thousand persons died in a week. In 1775 the disease attacked animals, and that same year, in St. Petersburg, more than forty thousand persons were stricken with the fever in twenty-four hours. In Rus- sia, Germany and Austria great fear is ex- pressed about the health of the troops, and quantities of brandy and quinine are dis- tributed to the soldiers each day. BARONESS ALTHEA SALVADOR. On This Side the Atlaatic. BY Telegraph tothe PosT-Drmaratonr. New YORK, Dec. 28.—The health officials still maintain that ‘‘officially’’ there is no positive evidence of the existence of la grippe in this city. Despite the fact that the sanitary physicians of the Bureau of Contagious Diseases diagnosed seven cases of Russian la grippe in East Forty- sixth street Dr. Bryant, the HeaithjCom missioner,and President Wilson of tne Board of Health, decided to repiy toa telegram from S8urgeon-General Hamilton of Washington, that There iano la grippe in this city, as fer as we are informed officialiy,’’ on the day following Pres- dent Wilson fell a victim to the disease ande has become convalescent only within a few days. The three patients from the steamship estmoreland, who are in the hospital on North Brothers’ Island, whose disease was Giagnosed as typhus fever, still remain there, but Dr. Bryant is sceptical. „J am not convinced that these men are victims of typhus fever,’’ he said yesterday to a WORLD reported, nor dol believe that they have it. But as a precautionary measure they were properly sent there, as their high fever and general condition suggested a sus- picious disease. „Je it not possible,’’ asked the reporter, „that they are victims ot la grippe in its worst 99 „1 don’t know anything about it, was Dr. Bryant’s response, ‘‘but it is as likely to be that as anything else. The rule which forbids subordinates in the Health Department to give news of epidemic diseases to the public overawes competent physicians in charge of bureaus from speak- ing on the subject, but there is not one of them who does not shake his head signifi- cantly when asked the extent of la grippe. They admit freely that probably 50,000 of the population is affiicted by influenza, for- getful evidently that this is synonymous with the French term la grippe, but refuse to talk of the disease in its fatal form in Europe. It is conceded by the physicians in charge of the Bureau of Vital Statirtics that pneumonia, bronchitis and phthisis are largely on the increase, and that the excessive mortality is due principally to heavy colds contracted duringithe recent remarka- ble climatic changes. They also insist that the heavy mortality lists in France are due, not to La Grippe, but to pneumonia and kindred diseases which follow in its wake on a debilitated system. The same fatal diseases bave wrought a_ terrible havoc in this city recently as the following compar!i- son shows. Pneumonia, week ending December 21, 87; ending December 28, 189. Phthisis, week end- ing December 21, 97; ending Decem- ber W, Bronchbitia, week e ing December 21, 40; week end December 28, 50. Total for week ending De- eember 21, 224; week ending December 28, $20. The total deaths for the week ending De- cember 21 were 665, and for last week 762, an increase of 97. Never in the history of the health Department has pneumonia reached such a stage of mortality as during the past week. Competent sanitarlans admit privately that la grippe in its fatality can accurately be de- termined by watching the deaths from pueu- monia, bronchitis and kindred diseases. About two hundred cages are reported on Staten Island. including District Attorney Thos. W. Fitzgerald, Col. John A. Duff, pro- rietor of the club house and thirteen mem- ers of the Staten Island police force. There are about 1,200 cases of influenza in Newark. The majority of cases are bad colds in the head with violent sneezing and pains in the head, back and limbs Nearly all the inmates in the Morris Piains Insane Asylum have been attacked.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. ROCHESTER, N. .. Dec. 28.—La grippe has taken possession of this city in a way which makes the doctors dance for joy and common people tremble. From reports to-day from thirty of the leading physicians there are fully 1,500 cases in the city at present. 4 week ago there were not more than haifa ozen cages in the city. Now it is everywhere. It has invaded the East avenue with just as much freedom ag it entered the cottage on Bay street. It has gone into the offices, the shops, the schools, the banks, the factories of the city and chosen its victims with an impartiality born of adesire to level | everybody and a common condition of In. flamed noses, sore throat, distressing coughs and a generai feeling of desperation and dis- ust. It spares no one from its clutches and t never gives warning of its approach. ‘A sudden fever is the first indication. The patient retires in good health and awakes the next morning with a chill, followed dy a fever of more or less severity. A bodily tem- perature ranging from 101 to 10% and red _— are prominent among the symptoms. The catarrhal symptoms do not make themselves known until twenty-four hours have passed.

The most pronounced symptom is not in the nose, it is an irritation of the sometimes goes down in ‘ It is accom panied by cough, which comes in parox- yems, and is a terrible strain on the entire system. I have not noticed as much ofthe bone-ache here as is reported from other cities. I have one patient who came on from Boston, where he was exposed to the grippe and he suffers intensely from the pain in his bones. It is almost as severe as in cases of break - bone fever, but my other patients do not sufferas much in that way. The most paimful thing is the racking of- fect of the cough. have bad to almost cove? the abdomen and chest with capcine plasters in some cases. The soreness in the lungs and abdomen is severe in most cases I have had. Some of them have been complicated with malaria and tenden- cies to pneumonia. They then become verv serious. The disease is serious to any one with a weak constitution. The disease is not transitory as a cold is and the effects cling to one. As to the treatment so far it has not been at all satisfactory. The ordinary treatment for a cold does not appear to have the desired effect. The best results I have no- ticed as yet were from the use of calomel.’’ Invaded Chicago.

In fact, none of the cases could be classed as anything else, although I do not think there is any epidemic here at the present time.’’ Dr. Frankle Glasgow is another physician who is treating what he believes to be a case of influenza. ‘‘I have two cases under my gare, he stated, which I ghink are very likely influenza. They appear to have all the symptoms of that disease, but I am not yet prepared to pronounce them genuine cases .’’ Dr. Frank Rumbold remarked: ‘‘I have treated two cases which had pecullar symp- s, similar to those of influenza, but I hardly think they were genuine cases, though they could not be diagnosed as anything else. 1 likely they were severe colds, but I told both patients, who are personal friends of mine, that it was influenza. If it was not for allthis talk about that malady, however, I should have called them something else. Said Dr. Felix J. Levy: I had one case which had all the symptoms ot influenza, but they disappeared inside of thirty-six hours, so I do not think it was a genuine case. I think it was merely a bad cold of some kind pro- duced by the present warm weather, which is very bad and unseasonable.’’ ‘*I have a case just recovering, remarked Dr. Robert J. Hill, ‘‘which strongly resembles influengsa. I think it is hay fever or nay asthma, however.

Said Dr. H. N. Spencer: I have not heard of a case of it in the city.“ Dr. Hughes remarked: ‘‘I have been shown alleged cases of influenza, but none of them have been genuine. They were merely severe colds. I do not think there are any genuine cases in the city.’’ Dr. J. K. Bauduy said: I have not heard of any cases so far, but I guess there will be some out here soon. I don’t think it will amount to very much here, but it may be very annoying.’’ Dr. A. V. L. Brokaw said: ‘'I have not heard of the influenza being here yet, but I have heard a good deal about it. I do not doubt for an instant, however, that it will be here in a week or so, and then we can go ahead and prepare for it. It will ve in a measure epidemic and may spread to quite an extent. Itis not, as arule, much of arespector of person, and will probably get a good many people. I do not think it will become as severe here as it is in Europe, but it may make things lively for a While.

Dr. Borck said: ‘‘I have not heard of a ease. Dr. Dudley: ‘‘I have not heard of a case of of influenza and am surethere is none here. None of the public institutions have a single case. Dr. Graves stated that he did not know of a case and no one whom he knew had seen one. Dr. Steinmetz had not seenacase and did not believe there was any in the city. Dr. W. B. Dorsett, Superintendent of the Female Hospital, remarked: ‘‘We have none of it at our place, but when I was going to the meeting of the Medical Society to-night I telephoned Dr. Atwood, the Superintendent ofthe Insane Asylum, to inquire if he was going. He replied in the negative, stating that he had influenza, It was said by him in a joking way, and I suppose he merely has a cold, and was jesting about 16.

All Im All Ready- VERY OLD OR VERY YOUNG ODD FACTS ABOUT THE HEIRS TO THE THRONES OF EUROPE. * Whe Will Bethe Next King of Bavaria—The Future King of the Belgians—Wurtem- burg’s Crown Prince—The Very Youth- fal Crewns in Germany, Portugal and Holland. N Special Correspondence of SUNDAY Posr-Drsraren. ARIS, Dec. 17.—1 have thougbt that a subject that might possibly prove interest- ing to the readers of the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH is that of the heirs to the different thrones of Europe. Recent deaths or threatened deaths amonyst the reigning sovereigns are bringing sundry hitherto unnoted personages in this position very much before the eyes of the public. Usually the heir is the direct descend- ant of the ruler he or she ia called upon to succeed, but occasionally the relationship is very distant, and it requires some skill in geneological lore to enable one to trace out the almost undefinable threads that link the prince or princess to the throne. The oldest of the royal heirs presumptive of Europe is the present Regent of Bavaria, Prince Luitpold, the uncle of the mad King Otho, who sits playing with straws in a padded room in the palace at Munich, and who wears ashadowy crown whilst awaiting a release from the thrall of a mindiess existence. The Prince Regent is nearly 69 years old, 80 his chances of becoming King of Bavaria de jure as be al- ready is de facto are extremely small. He is a grave, conscientious ruler, caring little for the pomps and vanities of royal state, a fact which is perhaps fortunate for him, as the Bavarian nation has been roused to a pitch of exasperation against show and display on the part of their princes by the immense extravagance of the late King Louis. The people are now burthened with taxes in order to pay for the imitation Ver- sailles, the private representations of grand opera, the Lohengrin“ armor in silver and precious stones and all the rest of the costly follies of their late and lunatic King. So far do they carry this feeling thatthe Prince Re- gent, having appeared in the streets of Munich a short time ago in a handsome new carriage, got hooted by the crowd on ac- * of the sumptuousness of his equipage. A WIDOWER e and his eldest son, Prince Louis, is 45 years ssibly be the grandson of the Prince Regent, rince R 14 ee who is avery fast youn man indeed, in truth royal youths in gene ‘are apt to be. Another elderly royal heir is the future King of Belgium, the Count Philip of Fianders, brother to the present monarch. He is a quiet, retiring man, now 58 years old, and kept a good dealin the background, in spite osition in the reigning family, by reason of his exceeding deafness. In the event of his becoming King of Belgium he would probably leave the business of ruling to his Ministers, and would take a comparatively unimportant piace in the poli- tics of Europe. Butasthe present King is only 2 years hissenior, his chances of ever succeeding to the throne are decidedly small. In the event of his dying before his brother his place in the succession would be taken by his eldest son, Prince Baldwin, now nearing his 2lst birthday. Neither is it very likely that the helr apparentto the Austrian throne will llve to succeed his brother, the sent Emperor. This is the Archduke Louis, now 56 three sons, Francis, Otho and Ferdinand, all of whom have reached the years of manhood, so that the Imperial crown of Austria is in no danger of lapsing to one of the collateral branches in default of direct heirs. This is the case at present with the throne ot Wur- temberg, whose heir, Prince William, Is the secona cousin only of the reigning king. He is 42 years old and isa widower, his wife, the Princess Georgine Marie of Waideck Pyr- mont, the sister to the widowed Duchess of Albany, having died in 1882, leaving him with A LITTLE GIRL his only child. He will probabil when he become of AA that a Uity in the near future, is in very bad health and is nearly 67 years old.

He is about the same age as the young Prince of Naples, the beir to the Italian throne. But, unlike that young man, he hag a group of stalwart brothers who will keep ony one of his uncles or cousins from ever in- duiging in a hope of wearing the Imperial crown. As an off-set to the group of elderly gentie- men with an account of whom this article opened, is the cluster of royal children who now stand next in succession to various of the thrones of Europe. The youngestof these, and the one who has just been promoted to the post of heir-apparent, isthe little Prince of Beira. son of the new King of Portugal and of his charming wife, formerly the Princess Amelia of Orleans. He is not quite 3 years old andisa healthy, lively, thriving young man, iving full promise of living to succeed to his ather’s throne, though when he was about 8 months old he camé near beirg burned alive, the draperies of his cradle having accidentally been set on fire. The little fellow bad one arm and one of his plump cheeks badly scorch.d, but he got over his injuries in a few days. Very near to him in age isthe Princess of the Asturias, heiress totheCrownof Spain, who is 9 years old.She is a gentle child, is the Infanta Mercedes, and is more like her father than is either her brother or hersister. The baby King is said to strongly ; RESEMBLE HIS GRADMOTHER, naughty old Queen Isabelia. The Princess Mercedes was devotedly attached to King Alpbonso, and has never forgotten the fond and tascinating young father who used to — with her, and bring her toys and bon- ons in secretto cheat the watchfulness of her all-powerful chief lady-in-waiting. Dur- ‘ing the few months thatelapsed between the death of her father and the birth of her brother, while she was acknowledged treated as the possible future of Spain, she realized though ’ young the importance of her position to the full, and comported herself with true royal and Castilian dignity and de- corum. As there is only the life of one not very healthy iniant between her and the crown, she may one day reign as Queen over her native land after all. eantime, till the little Alphonso XIII. grows up and marries and has children of his own, her sition in 2 royal family is only second to that ot the ng. — The present Crown Prince of Germany will be 8 years old next May. He isa very ‘‘bump- tious’’ young man, very fully aware of the prominence of his position and requiring all the authority of his very dictatorial father, the only person whose rule he recognizes, to keep him in order. The Emperor, soon after his accession to the throne, found his turbu- lent heir in the act of cuffing and kicking one of his little brothers. On being commanded to stop the boy replied: ‘‘Leave me alone! I am the Crown Prince of Germany, and I havea right to whip whom! please.’’ **Very good,’’ responded his father, but I am tne Emperor of Germany and I have the right to whip the Crown Prince. So, suiting the action to the word, he bestowed upon his cantankerous little son a sound thraghing. THE HBIRESS to the throne of the Netherlands, the Princess Wilhelmina, is a few, months past her 9th birthday. As the only Queen Regent of the future she is a very interesting personage, the most important young lady that now figures in European politics. Young as she is the question of her marriage has already been mooted and widely discussed, and it is proba. ble that very few more years will pass over her childish head before she will be solemniy betrothed to some one or other of the many pretendants to her hand. She is at present a pretty, fair haired little girl, very closely and carefully guarded by her watchful mother, Queen Emma, who superintends herself the course of education which is destined to make the future Queen of Holland one of the most accomplished Princesses of Europe, The Crown Prince of Denmark is aman 4 years ot age. He has a son who is himself nearing a marriageable dae, as he is pest 10. The Crown Prince of Sweden is 31, and his oldest son, the Duke of Scania, is just 7. As to the future King of Italy, he is a fragile youth of 20. Thenewly married Crown Prince of Greece is a little over 21. Then we come to the heirs of the shado claime to the crowns of Franceand of Gre Britain. As regards the former, the Count de Paris will transmit his rights to his eldest son, Prince 3 who will attain his majority in February. he pretensions of the Bonapartes are centered on Prince Victor, the eldest son of Prince Jerome Napoleon, who is 27 and is not married, nor is .

La Gripre has indvaded the Bast and has taken the air line for the West. T story of the election returns of Mis- souri from 1876 to 1888 is mighty interest- ing reading. — | THE Brazilian Republic should not be kept waiting for recognition at the hands of this republio. — Tux election figures of Missouri show that the Democrats of this State cannot afford to quarrel over a Senatorship. — — — e ̃ u—ñ—ẽ Tue Post- offioe question might be set- tled by allowing the Republicans of St. Louis to hold an election for Postmaster. — . — . — — — THE McMillan idea that competition in gas increases the price of gas is not sustained by therecord of the Laclede Gas Co. A LARGE part of our news columns is devoted to reports of the spread of the influenza, which has brought with it its foreign name of ‘‘la grippe.” — 2 — — St. Louis is looming up in the World’s Fair contest, and Chicago is showing signs of fright which will develop into a panie before the battle is over. i ua—», — — | nnn. 3 THE adyocates of the Branham gas bill urged the Mayor to sign it yesterday, but failed to show in what respect it would benefit anyone except the promoters of the project. -_ - — em 1 — — Tux most gratifving information con- cerning La Grippe“ derived from the article on the subject in the Medical News is that, while it comes suddenly,” it „goes as quickly.“ Noone will object to letting her go. — — — Dou PrpRo's recognition of the Brasil - ian Republic lasted only until he put him- self under the monarchic influences of Europe. It may be laid down as a rule that it is impossible to make a real Re- publican out of an Emperor. a — THE symptoms of the Russian influenza are remarkably like those of a complica- tion of bad cold and malaria. It has ceased to be a joking matter, however, since so many fatalities are reported from pneumonia and other lung affections which it induces. But there is no occa- sion for panic. Fear kills more people than the epidemic. THE management of the St. Louis Water Department has shown conclu- sively that it is entirely practicable for any large city to manage its own water supply or its gas supply with economy, efficiency and honesty. But to secure these results the city must have full control of | the work, and that control must be pro- ' ere W. C. tected from the temptations and dangers of City Hall boodleism. ie — * — FroM the warmth and unanimity with which the Republican organs are cham- pioning Mrs. J. ELLEN FosterR’s Non- T. U.“ the public will readily infer the sole purpose of that organization. Itisto hold the Prohibi- tionists solid for the Republican ticket everywhere and in every contest as long as the male incumbrances of the lady members are provided with lucrative offices by Republican administrations. — 2 ͤ v—̃ ſ— Hon. Geo. W. JULIAN, whose connec- tion with Land Office affairs in New Mex- ico under CLEVELAND was such a stum- bling-block in the way of the land grabbers, writes to the New York WORLD that President HARRISON’S propo- sition to create a commission for the adjudication of old Mexican land grant claims is the pet scheme of the Elkins and Dorsey crowd of land grab- bers, and would inevitably prove as scandalous a convenience for land thieves as was the old California Land Commis- sion created by Congress in 1851. — . — — Tux old scandal concerning CHARLES STEWART PARNELL and the wife of Capt. O’SuHea has been revived through a peti- tion for divorce filed by the latter. When the scandal was first brought to the sur- face about four years ago it was charged by Mr. PanNELL's friends, then as now, that it was due to personal enmity and partisan malignity. The divorce case will probably bring out the truth, but it is remarkable that Capt. O’SHEA should have smothered his wrongs for several years and should resent them at the very time that a blow to PARNELL is most op- portune for the British Government. — ——_ 6 — — N Tux argument of President McMILLAN of the Gas Trust against the Branham gas Dill thatthe presence of a competitor in the gas business will have the effect of putting up instead of reducing the price of gas is not worth considering. It is a bluff. In view of the position of the Gas ‘Trust that the city cannot regulate the price of gas a competitor may be ex- tremely desirable. But when the city grants a gas franchise or concludes to build a plant, it should be done in a de- liberate manner and the ordinance should be carefully drawn so as to fully protect the treasury from a raid. This is not the case in the Branham gas bill. . In advertising for bids for the privilege of killing fur seals, Mr. WIV Don has ar- ranged matters in a way eminently fayor- able to the bidding of the Alaska Com- — | souri Democrats to the influences ado has been made about the extinction of the seals by poachers. The impossi- bility of suppressing the poachers has been \ splendidly advertised, and so has the intention of our Government not to seri- ously proclaim and enforce the mare clausum doctrine. In addition to all this Mr. WINDOM announces that the number of seals to be killed shall be limited to 60, - 000 the first year, but does not say what number shall be killed in succeeding years. in this fur-seal monopoly from the begin- ning, and now it is unusually pungen? THE MISSOURI OUTLOOK. The returns of Missouri elections since 1876, as collated and presented in another column, should open the eyes of Mis- now operating to undermine the ascendency of their party in this State. Thesé are the data from which the Re- publicans are ficuring out the possibility of electing a Republican over Vrsr in 1890 and rescuing the State from the Dem- ocrats in 1892. They do show that from 1880 to 1888 there was an increase in the total vote for President of 124, 130, out of which the Republican candi- date realized an increase of 82,683, while the Democratic candidate got an increase of but 52,734 over 1880, the vote for other tickets having fallen from 35,045 in 1880 to 23,158 in 1888. From 1884 to 1888, with no appreciable change in the vote for other tickets, the Republican vote increased 33,323, while that of the Democrats increased only B, 955. The Democratic percentage of the whole vote for President shrank from 53.50 in 1884 to 50.24 in 1888, and it cannot be denied that a continuation of the same ratio of changein favor of the Republic- ans will give them the State in 1892. The legislative majority of the Demo- crats on joint ballot fell from 101 in 1882 to 68 in 1884, to 58 in 1886 and to 30 in 1888. So Republicans have reason to hope that by a judicious manipulation of Democratic dissensions and mistakes, by a proper handling of third parties and a liberal application of boodle to close counties, they may capture the next General As- sembly and down VEST. Asthe Democratic percentage of the total vote for Governor dwindled from 57 per cent in 1876 to 52 in 1880, 50.05 in 1884 and 49.87in 1888 itis evident that local dissatisfaction with bossism and its dis- creditable use of the spoils system is oné of the main causes of this Democratic loss of strength, and that its continued opera- tion will bring defeat on the party as surely as it caused the great Democratic defection in this city in 1888. Buta similar Democratic loss under CLEVELAND in Virginia was quickly fol- lowed by a much greatér Republican loss under HARRISON. The defeat of MAaHONE and the loss of Ohio and Iowa were wholly unexpected defeats of Republican calcu- lations, and may be duplicated in Mis- souri if the Democrats will only be true enough to their party and its principles to sit down heavily on its bosses and their scandalous practices. That an overwhelming majority of the people of Missouri are Democrats by every fair test we have no doubt, but their full strength ban never be brought to the polls in the face of such scandals as the Burks grain inspection, the coal oil inspection joband the other boodle business by which boss- ism uses the party for selfish ends and shames its honest men. 6 — a 6 — — — A PATRIOTIC DUTY. The State of Tennessee has bought the home of ANDREW JACKSON and deeded it in trust to the Ladies’ Hermitage Associ- ation, which proposes to rescue it from decay, restore it to its original condition, fill it with all obtainable Jackson relics and provide a fund for its future preserva- tion &s one of the Meccas of American patriotism. The fund of $150,000 needed for this purpose isto be raised by admit- ting 100,000 members subscribing $1.50 each to the fund. The promotion of this object should be the prominent feature of every local cele- bration of the approaching Eighth of January, and the time has come when the masses of all parties, as well as the pro- fessed followers of Old Hickory, have reason for paying homage to his memory. However, a certain school of doctrinaires may magnify his faults of temper and rail at his principles, there is no question that he left a deeper and more enduring impression upon the minds of the people of all sections and parties than any other public man of his generation. He not only won for us the most brilliant and important victory of our last war with Great Britain, but he wasalso the heroof the most important political contest that oGcurred in his time. He uttered the first warnings against the insidious aggrandizement aud aggres- sive encroachments of the Money Power in our politics. He made and won the “(first fight against those encroachments, and the precepts of his messages on that subject are still treasured with veneration or read for the first time with a responsive thrill by mill- ions who see in our present political status ample proof of JaCksOn’s prophetic an- ticipations. It is impossible to read those messages now without a feeling that just such an intrepid and honest leader is more needed to-day than in the days when Jackson nipped nullification in the bud and throttled NicHOLAS BIDDLE’s money monopoly. » The fact that Jackson is . asa Democratic party saint has not kept his popularity from outgrowing all party limits. His life, character and public services are the pride of our whole people, There has been the odor of a job mous Xmas business, ments of our political history. Let us have a general celebration of the 8th of January, and raise in one day the little sum asked for by the Ladies’ Hermitage Association. ͤj— WAT DISTRUST BRAZIL? Within twenty-four hours after the re- public was proclaimed as the result of a coup d@’etat in Spain in 1878, our Govern- ment recognized it. The French Re- public had been recognized as promptly in 1870 by Gen. Grant’s Admin- istration, and within twenty - four hours after its proclamation Min- ister WASHBURNE was instructed to tender the congratulations of the President and people ofthe United States, as soon as the situation would in his judgment justify ; such tender. Why should we hold back and show stich extreme marked distrust in the case of Brazil? Whether the provisional Government existing there isthe prelude to a Republic or to a Military Dictatorship, we are obliged to deal with it as the Govern-; ment de facto, because there ia no other. In the meantime we should not vie with the Old World governments in manifest- ing our doubts as to the wisdom of de- posing the Imperial Government and our distrust of the interit of those who did it. The world rather expects us to show our faith in the purpose and capacity of the Brazilian people to @establish a freer and better fabricin the place of the one that went to pieces in the firat little breeze of popular opposition. The moral effect of our faith and sym- pathy may be needed to sustain and guide them, and if they should afterwards prove unworthy of such support it would cost us nothing to have shown our disposition to greet cordially every new Republic. We certainly are not complimenting the people of Brasil or gaining any point whatever by the wait- ing attitude, the extreme reserve and caution with which we are treating what from all indications seems to be the most thoroughly accomplished and the most peaceful of revolutions. — —j—U—g— — ——d— THE saddest effect of the whirligig of time is the decay of the Little Lord Fauntleroy’’ craze. It has been discovered that, sweet and charming as the ideal curly-headed boy of the book and stage is, in real life his curls are an awful bother and are nuts“ for the hair-clipped boy in a fight; the Byronic ol lar catches allthe soil in the neighborhood and the velvet suit loses its gloss and gets woefully bedraggied in a wrestling match. Even dearest palls on the mater- nal ear. Altogether the little lord of a year or two ago is terribly degenerate. He is tired being sweet and everybody is tired of big ar- rogantand oppressive sweetness. The ideal boy has fulfilled his mission and cah frétire until he is needed again. FRED DOUGLAS writes from Hayti that he is tabooed in society there just as he was in Washington. Perhaps the Haytiens object to his having too little color, as the Washing- tonians Objected to his having too much color. Mr. Louctas’ gombplexion strikes what may be called an anhappy mean. JOHN L. SULLIVAN officiated as god-father atthe christening of an infant in Brooklyn the other day. Of coursé, the mignty JouNn will bring the youngster up lu accordance with Margais of Queensbury rules, through strict attention to which he has gained his own proud eminence. —_— * THE first case of an eager desire to get the grip’’ has appeared in St. Louis. It is mant- fested by the promoters of the gas steal, who want to get it on the olty treasury, and by the ‘solid seven, who want to get it on every- thing in sight. EpIsoON could have saved himself the trouble ot making a phonographie doll which ‘‘talks and recites verses’’ to send to the daughter of the Archduchess of Austria. An infant theat- rical star would have served just as well. THE imported grip can hardly be more dan- gerous than the domestic article on wheels when it is run by careless gripmen. The latter does not strike so many people, but the ratio of fatality ie much greater. JOHN WANAMAKER remarked in his speech at the New England dinger in Philadelphia, „Shoot that man who spends a penny for dis- honest elections. Get your gun, JOHNNY, and hunt for Our.

A8 HING TON, Dec. 28.—At St. Louts World’s Fair Parlors there is not the hustie that there was a week ago, but Maj. D. Walker Wear, Who pre- sided with a good deal of dignity, has many callers every day, and something new and encouraging is heard now and then. That St. Louis is now the most formidable applicant in the contest is assured by those who have given the matter close attention. One of the prominent Democratic members of the House, in talking this evening, said it was conceded that Uhicago at this time had probably the greatest number of votes in the House, but that was not tobe feared. That it was in the first place necessary for st. Louls to consolidate the Southern vote, which she would probably do; that this support would likejy be broken by the West Virginians alone, Wheéling’s great interests being with Chicago; that when New York City was satisfied that the time had come aud that the location must go to the West the support which that metropo- lis could command would go te «the future Great. That New York’s sympathies are for St. Louis, he was assured, the reason therefor being apparent to those who had given the matter thought. Among other callers to-day at headgurters was Hon. Chas. Mansur of Missouri, who as one of the committee here, made a canvass of forty members of the House under his as signment of the committee. Mr. Mansur be- lieves that evervthing pointe to thé selection of St. Louis and that there will certainly be a World's Fair. With very few exceptions he had metno member of the House who did not want a fair somewhere. A Defaulter or a Suicide. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcn. Wasuineton, D.

No tidipgs of the missing man have been re- ceived by his family. The hat he wore on the e disappeared was picked up not far from the Arsenal wharf by Capt. Baily of the tug Teuton.

Mean- while a new element has appeared in the case by the report tnat Jones was short in his ac- counts. He was elerk to Maj. Goodloe, Pay- muster atthe Marine Barracks. The amount said to have been unaccounted for, so far as the investigation has gone, is about 5,000.

Officers Chosen—Retiring Presi. dent Lats Pays His Respects to the Doctors Who Left the Organization When He Was Instalied In Office—A Peace. able, Orderly Election. HE &t. Louis Medi- oa] Society held its regular anh ual meeting and elec- tion last night at thelr assembiy rooms in the Polytechnic build. ing. There was a large attendance, and whiie the election lacked that warmth of feeling and expres- sion which charac- terized the last an- nual meeting of the body, the proceed - ings were by no means dull. In fact it fequired more than one ballot to determine the choice of the society for two of the five officers voted upon. It took two ballots to decide the presidency, and there was 11 very pretty race for the position of corresponding secretary. The new officers chosen are: Dr. Bau duy, President; Dr. Mooney, Vice-President; Dr. G. Hurt, Treasurer; Dr. Blickhahn, Recorda- Ing Secretary, and Dr. Elmer 8. Smith, Cor- fesponding Secretary. Drs. Hurt and Biick- Rahn were re-elected. id Dr. Lutz was in the chair and Dr. Bliokhabn Officiated as secretary. After calling the meet ing to order Dr. Lutz, as the retiring presi- dent, read his annual report or address. It was as follows: REMARKS OF DR. LUTZ. GENTLEMEN OF THE Sr. Louis MBDICAL So- OIETY—The year which we are about to close is, perhaps, the most important inthe hie- tory ofthis society. If ever in the past it has Deen questioned whether the St, Louis Med- ical Society is a nermanent organization the @xpérience of this year has proven beyond a doubt that in the hearts of the profes- sion of this city it Is deep rooted and fixed and that a handful ot malcontents cannot prevail against it. When, after the last election, a few designing then, whose ambition to manage the affairs ofthis sagiety, and whose objections to the élected president (wholiy of a personal nature), were greater than their love of right and justice, and than their regard for this association, followed by those to whom was held out the pragpect of hieh offidée, made an attempt to wreck this society by the establish- ment of a rival organization, and usurped the name of this time- honored institution, the profession rose in ite might and the ludicrous finale of the mal- contents’ society was as ridiculous as its incipiency had been uncalled for. On the other band their noisy effort attracted the Attention of the workers of the profession to our meetings, and brought to them members who for years had been inactive, and in lieu -of the persons who intentionally absented themsetves from our weekly gatherings, from & sense of shame at their action, I take it, there appeared here as regular attendants those whose presence and work was worth infinitely more to us than the ornamental presence of members whose at- tendance is conditioned upon the gratificafion oftheir schemes. But de mortuis nil nise bene. They are men of sorrows and ac- guainted with grief. Our membership has K increased, thirty-five new names having been added to the roster. The scientific contributions and the value of the discussions were unsurpassed by those of any previous year. No better proof of the interest taken in the society by the profession and of the constantly increasing scientific activity of ite members need be adduced than the large attendance upon our meetings and the readi- ness, I was about to sey, eagerness with which gentlemen embrace the ern to make contributions, by the reading of for mally prepared papers or by the exhibition of pathological specimens and cases. It is not self-laudation to say that we are abreast of our sister soceties and this in spite of the fact that this society offers only thé opportunity to contribute from the scientific s'orehouse of individuals, but does not, exceptin au.ost limited way. add to the means of pursuing scientific inquiry. Medi- Sal literature, as scattered throughout the periodicais of the world and as deposited in the more lasting volumes, is so immense that but few can become possessed of the most important part of it, in a se- lected department. The time is past when a rowof text books furnishes the medics! food of the physicians. We live in another era. It no longer suffices to contribute in- dividual experience, much as is tauxht by it; what others have done and seen must and is considered of equal importance. How the @eontributions to medical literature can best be made accessible to members through a well-eelected library is a question whieh must be solved at no distant day. The scientific * does not stop when he as interpreted for practical purposes only, which he observes, but he pursués through their various ramifications, he connections and relationships of medical phenomena, sided and assisted by means and methods not at the command of our predecessors. The physical sciences have taken the place of culation; positive demonstration is con- sidered the ultimum consideratum. It is oe ae to observe tbat the man who Gals in glitteriug generalities is rap- Aly disappearing as an active factor in our discussions and that scientific @xactneses and positive demonstrable knowl- edge is taking the place of mere conjecture, I congratulate you, gentiemen, upon this flour- ishing condition of our society and I hope that this era of scientific activity may con- tinue for many years. In conclusion permit mé to say that, however highly I value the honor of having been your presiding officer, itis incomparible tothe expressions of ap- val and the assistance which you lent to me hen im the hour of peril, decency, a just te- ote for right and the preservation of the onor of the medical profession, whose 1epre- séntatives the St. Louis Medical Society is — — — demanded that I take a firm and * Bnqguestionable position.

B.—A strike on the New York, Lake Erie & Western Rallroad, which will extend from this city to Buffalo, is threatened. The trouble is caused by the recent discharge of four engineers. The dis- charged men composed a committee ap- pointed by the locai brotherhood, who pre- sented a protest to the officials of the com- pany against compelling employes to undergo an examination and sign a certain agree ment. The General Standing Grievance Com- mittee of the Erie Railroad, to whom the discharged men appealéd to-day, held a meet- ing at Ravonia, N. J., to discuss the matter. It was resolved to demand a reilustatement of the discharged men and the withdrawal of the agreement. If the cOmpany refuses to con- cede the demands of the men, the engineers, firemen and switchmen of the road will strike. Ifthe railroad does not readily comply Chief Arthur will be called upon to Intercede be- tween the company and the men. Advices from Middletown and Port Jervis report all quiet in the Erie yards at those places. Wood. Carvers on Strike. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Arcen. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. . —Bardwell, Robinson 4 Co. are having trouble with tneir wood-carvers. A strike has been on for two weeks. The cause of it is unusual and novel. A young man named R. Nymond, who learned his in the Manual Training Department, fora position as a carver’s apprentice and per day, and he was given $2. The other carvers, all of whom belong to the Carvers’ Union, objected to the young man because be was not one ofthem. laws of their organization allowthis. Tney formulated their case ina paper to the foreman, demandjn~ that the wcademic ve fired forthwith. 2 Wan handed thelr request to the proprietors and they summoned the spokesman. He was told that the house would not permit the dictation of the employes, and that the carvers must go back to work or get out. They struck and are still striking. They have met several times, aud have called twicé to Inquire if the firm were ready to give in. No Strike Probable. Rr Telegranh te the Posr-Dter kro. CINCINNATI, O., Dec, B. — The Queen & Cres- cent Ratiroad officiais say they have no fears of a strike by the freight conductors and other employes on their line, There are, however, street rumors here that President Atthur ofthe Locomotive Engineers’ Broth- erhood is in secret conference with the en- gineers at Somer-et, Ky., and from this the inference 16 drawn that the engineers will make 60mmou cause with the freight con- ductors. Eight Hours and More Pay. BosTon, Dec. 28.—The freestone outtters of Boston met last evening and heard the re- port of their committee tothe effect that a majority of the bosses favored an eight-hour day. The meeting voted to work only eight hours a day after January I and to accept 4&4 cents per hour up to April I, when they should demand 50 cents. Want Shorter Hours. BALTIMORE, Dec. 28.—The Garment Ontters and Trimmers’ Local Assembly of the Knights of Labor have demanded of their emplovers a work day of nine hours. A circular setting the day for the new system for the first Mon- day in January was sent to-day to each cloth- ing manufacturer in the city. It asks the same rate of wages as has hitherto been paid for ten hours. Serious Labor Situation. CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 28.—The situation on the Cincinnati Southern road is becoming more strained. All their engineers belong to the Brotherhood, as do all the freight con- ductors except fifteen. The road has dis- charged thirty conductors. A Strike Brewing. LEIXNGTON, Ky., Dec. 28.—A general strike is believed to be brewing on thé Oincinnati Southern Rallway, owing to the discharge of more than twenty freight conductors because they belong to the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors.

O., Dee. 28.— Eight black bodies, * steeped in gore, jum- died together like the carcasses of 80 many dutchered jackals, with Vvones and brains pro- va truding, lying half nude upon the ground, is the sickening spectacle mat presented itself EY early this morning in tame limits of the little ? LOR l 5 town of Barnwell, in this State. Worked almost into frenzy by the repeated brutal murder of prominent white meg by negro plunderers, the citizens deter- mined to avenge their dead friends, and in the gray dawn of morning they repaid life for life with three for boot. The murder of young Robert Martin last Saturday night made the fifth white man who has been killed within the last sixty days by the cowardly bullet of the colored assassin. The excitement was so great that it culminated in an act of even greater lawlessness, when at 2 0o’clock this morning a hundred armed men in disguises broke open the jail where eight suspected colored murderers were impris-¢ oned, carried them to the limits of the town and shot them to pieces. No intimation of their purpose had been given to the authori- ties, and the entire matter was conducted with the utmost secrecy. At the appointed hour they collected near the jail, and sending a few men tothe building the Jailor was cleverly brought to the door by aruse. He was then overpowered, gagged and put into the hands of several of the lynching party. With the ut- most quiet a selected crowd crept into the ‘usual verdict being returned. They jall and witn the keys taken from the Jailor opened the cells until they obtained the fol- lowing negroes: THE VICTIMS. Mitchell Adams, charged with being an accessory to the murder of Hefferman. Peter Bell, held for the murder of Robert Martin. Hugh Furz, accessory to the murder of Martin. Handy Johnson, accessory to the murder o Martin. : Ripley Johnson, charged with the murder of Hefferman. Judge Jones, held as a witness. Ralph Morell, held has a witness. Robert Phoenix, held as a witness. The poor wretches were then rapidly car- ried tothe extreme limits of the town. Here in the gathering dawn amid their piteous howls for mercy, the crack of & hundred rifles and as many pistols rent the air, mingling with the death cries of eight poor devils, whose guilt was as yet unproven. Scores of death dealing slugs buried themselves in the human targets until nota vestige of life was jeft. The merciless mob did not retire satiated until they had fairly riddled the bodies with bullets. When the affair was over the men carried the jailer back to town and in an instant the horses were wheeled and the men sped homeward. The Sheriff was noti- fied by the Jaller and they proceeded to the spot where the rays of coming morn fell on eight men, tied around the waist to trees, riddied with bullets. Itseemed as if they were tied with their backs tothe trees, standing up, but some had slipped down and were hanging with feet and hands trailing on the ground. The firing was heard by many of the citizens of Barnwell, who thought it was fireworks. The crowd of over 100 men rode into town with no more noise than if two gentlemen had leisurely ridden in. The news was not known in town until the Sheriff returned about breakfast time. Negro women rushed te the jail with shrieks and men were prow!l- ing over the town with revengeful iooks, Tbe Sheriff at once wired Gov. Richardson for help. Things had a foreboding look until the train arrived this afternoon with a detach- ment of. forty militiamen under command of Col. D. L. Copeland of Bamberg. The Coro- ner suinmoned a jury and held an inquest, the came to their death by gunshot wgunds infiloted by pee unknown to the jury. The lynchers came from the country, and no one in thellittle town hag the slightest idea who they were, for the affair was a startling surprise to the town. Sam Lee, a barber, who is held as an accessory for the murder of Hefferman, wis taken out of jail by the lynchers, but was put back, as the party thought him innocent. At II p.m. everything is quiet. THE KILLING OF HEFFERMAN. The history of the killing of Hefferman is as follows: Ripley Johnson,who had a bad repu- tation,and who had given J.J. Hefferman some impertinence prior to this time was in Adam’s restaurant October 30 last, when Hefferman, who, in company witha friend, happened to be passing the place, called to Johnson to come out and explain why he had taiked about himas he had ona previous occasion. Jobnson refused to come out, and Hefferman walked into the room. As he entered the door the negro, who was standing at one side, levelled his cocked volver and sent a ball whizzing through Hefferman’s head and made off. efferman Glied almost instantly, with a great pool of blood oozing from the left side of his head. Johnson then ran back to the doorand escaped. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict to the effect that Hefferman was siain by Johnson and that Milchell Adams, Albert Gaunt and Sam Lee were accessories. They were seen to hold a private conference the night before, and all the circumstances of the murder showed it to be a diabolical one. ASSASSINATION OF YOUNG MARTIN, The murder with which six of the negroes were charged, and tor which they suffered death, was that of Robert Martin, of Martins Depot, a station on the Portroyal Railroad, about forty miles below Augusta. Mr. Martin was a merchant doing business at Martin’s Depot, and on the night of December 21, started from his place of bus- iness on horseback to his father® home, where he slept, some distance away. He never reached it. His body was found the next morning on the public road between Martin’s and his father’s home, and the wounds on his body showed that heehud been shot from the rear with a shotgun loaded with slugs, five of which penetrated the body at the back, three to the right the spimai column and two to the left, Two of the missiles went through the body, either of which would have produced death. Ata point near where his body was found are located gome negro houses, which be had just passed before e was killed, that the ocou- ants of there houses claim to ave heard the un and his cries Nou have killed me. The indications are that he was shot nearer to the houses than the point at which bis body was found. Rob- bery is supposed to have been the incentive for the murder, as several hundred dollars that Martin took with him from the store were _never found. Harrison Johnson was a on December ‘ Hie sald that he saw Mr. Martin and Peter Bell, colored, ride by his house the night of the killing, and sbortly after heard the report of the gun and the cry of Mr. Martin, but did not re- of ACTS. In consequence of the terrible excitement that exists and the thousand and one reports that are rapidly gaining circulation Sheriff Lancaster appointed a committee of the first citizens of the town, who have furnished the following report to the Post- DISPATCH for publication: . in consequence of. the lynching which took place here last night the 8 were this morning reques by the Sheriff to act as an Ad- visory Committee to counsel such 3 as may be deemed best to secure order. We at first proceeded to investigate and deem it right to put the pablic in possession of the facts of the occurrence and causes whith we believe led to it, as far as we have gathered them. On October 8 last Jno. H. Hefferman, a prominent young merchant and brave, public-spirited citizen, was shot down and killed in Barnwell by negroes. Public in- dignation ran very high. Threats of lynching were freely made, but this was di- verted by cooler counsel. At the last term of the court the Grand- jury found true bills against his mur- derers and accessories, but the cases were continued. The white people were disap- pointed and the negroes, it is thought, were emboldened by this disposition of the matter. On the 19th of December Mr. James 8. Brown, u prominent planter and a leading citizen of Fish Pond Township, was shotto death on his own premises by negroes without the slightest justification or exouse. The mur- derer has not been arrested. On the 18th of December, while going from his store at Martin’s Station to his home, a mile away, Mr. Robert Martin, a young man ofthe most exemplary character and of the highest standing as aman and citizen, was followed by a negro and shot in the back with a gun loaded with slugs. The crime was com mitted on the public road, which runs through his fath- er’s plantation, in hearing of negroes whose houses were all around the spot, and who admit that they heard the shot and hie cries, yet none of them went to hie relief and none of them went to his body, although it lay in the road all night and for several hours after daylight in plain view of them all. It was satisfactorily establisned that the mur- der was the result of a conspiracy to remove him in order that the negroes license upon the plantation might be greater. The murderers, that is, the negro who fired the shot and his accessories, six in number, after being clearly identified by the Coroner’s Jury were arrested and lodged in jail. These several brutal mur- ders of prominent white men by negroes caused a state of resentment among our peo- le that can be better imagined than escribed, but cannot be imagined by any one not present in our midst, Last night a large body of armed men, in disguise, at about 2 a. m., called at the jail, over- powered the jailer, took out the six murder, ers of Martin and two of Heffernan, took them to the limits of the corporation and shot.them to death. ROBERT ALDRICH, MIKE BROWN, GEORGE BATES, WILLIAM MCNAB, ‘ JAMES A. JENKINS, Com mittee. Graphic Account of the Lynching. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 28.—Three hundred armed men with faces masked surrounda jail just at the darkest hour before the dawn, while the inmates are sleeping beavily. They move with caution and as an organized body. The Jailer is quietly seized and quickly overpowered, keys taken from him, the heavy doors unlocked and before eight negroes sieeping within are awakened from their sleep, their cells are filled with strange figures. They are seized and carried out into the night. Their cries for mercy, prayers and curses are alike unheeded by their silent executioners. The body of men is put in motion and proceeds a quarter of a mile and halts in the outskirts of the town. The eight unfortunate wretches are secured, sev- eral bundred shots are fired and eight bodies lie on the earth with blood running from a hundred wounds, liter- ally shot to pieces. Such was the scene of the terribie tragedy enacted in the town of Barnwell this morning. The most terrible retribution for a not extraordinary offence as the crimes records willi prove. our years ago five men were lynched in ork- ville for the brutal murder of 8 little boy who caught them stealing. But they belonged to the organized gang whose members were sworn to kil! who- ever caught them stealing, and they were be- lieved to have committed murders previously. Their conviction was uncertain and the people took the law in their hands. But the wholesale lynching of this morning is without paralell in the records of crimes in this State and there was less ground for the act than probably any lynching before. It is doubtful if the county can show alike record. Those eight negroes were charged with committing and being ac- cessory to the crimes described below: THE MURDEK OF WHITE MEN. On the afternoon of October 30 John J. Hef- ferman was shot and instantly killed in a restaurant in the town of Barnwell by Ripiey Johnson. Hefferman wasone of the princi- pal merchants of the town, and Jobn- son was a colored man employed at that time in running 1 gin. There had been some trouble between the white man and the negro the day before, and although there were conflicting accounts as to the dif- culty it is probable that Hefferman threatened the negro, for he had been summoned to appear before the Town Council the morning following and had been put under bond. The killing took place in acol- ored restaurant where Hefferman had fol- lowed Johnson. Five negroes charged with being accessories to the murder, and who were in the restaurant at the time fled toa swamp, but were shortly afterwards captured and jailed. A large reward was offered for Ripley Johnson, and he was captured two weeks later. Of the two murders for which the men were lynched this morning the worst was commit- ted on last Saturday night, when Robert Mar- tin, a young man of great prominence and the only child of two old parents, was ambushed and shot to death while riding to his father’é& house. It was about 8 o’ciock in the evening. The young man was within sev- enty-five yards of the several negro houses on the side of the road when he was fired upon from behind. The occupants of the house heard the gun and heard the exclamation: ‘‘Oh, me; oh, me; you have killed me,’’ butthey did not go to the help of the wounded man. was not missed that night by dis parents, as he was in the habit when reaching home late to go to his own rooms, which were separated from the rest of the house. In the morning a servant noticed the riderless horse atthe gate, and finding blood on the saddle gave the alarm, and a search was immediately begun. The body of the young man was found on the side of the public road, within 100 yards of the houses above mentioned. He had evidently lived but afew minutes. Five bui- lets had entered his back on either side of the spinal column. Three had through the body and them would have been a mortal wound. The young man had not an enemy in the county that any of his friends knew of, and the whole community was greatly excited over his horrible murder. It was subsequently discovered that Martin was shot by a party of negroes who worked on his father’s place and who the young man kept retty clore totheir work and allowed littie icense. It was also believed that the people in the house near where the murder was com- mitted, knew all about it and that was why they would not go to the assistance of the dy- ing man. DONE WITHOUT WARNING, There was notarumor in the town of Barn- well last night that yiolence was contem- lated. Hadthere been a whisper of it the ail would have been guarded by troops. As itwasthe town, together with the doomed 13 and the jaller, was sleeping. At this morning the Jailer was called by some men on the outside of the jail enclosure. He was informed that a Constable had arrested the murderer of James P. Brown, a promin- ent citizen, murdered last week by negroes, and that he wished to lock him up. Suspecting nothing, the Jailer came down and opened the heavy gate. He was immedi- ately seized by a dozen men and overpowered disarmed and told to keep quiet or he would suffer for any alarm made. The keys were taken from him and {ty men entered the jail and took out in prisoners: Ripley Johnson and ael Adams, the principal and chief acces- sory in the murder of J. J. Hefferman in Octo- ber last, and Peter Bell, Rafe Morrell, Hugh Furse, Hudson Johnson, Roger Phonix and Judge Jones, the six negroes charged with the nation of bert Martin on Sat- urday night. They were marched to the outekirts of the town and in a few minutes each man was bound to the body ofa tree. Two hundred men then formed a line a short distance from them and ured volley after volley intothe bodies the negroes. They were shot to pieces. firing was the first intimation the people of the. town had of the trouble. It seemed thes as if the negroes wonld rise up and revenge the lynching. In response to a request the Governor ordered a rd company of infautry and of calvary to prepare for seryice. Thew ives are — and pretty Young Marting by relatives.

It will be continued to- morrow until completed. The creek was guarded last night for fear the parties com- mitting the murder would raise the body and put it away securely. It will also be guarded until. the dredging is completed. The man who cannot be found went there some days ago and was buying outtie in the vicinity He had bought some and wanted more.

AvusTin, Tex., Dec. 28.—The suicidal mania which developed in this city about two weeks ago is atill going on. On last evening a woman on the County Poor Farm, Frances Thomas, suicided by drowning herself in a pool, and another woman, in a bagnio, took poison early this morning, and may die in spite of the doctors. Six deaths from suicide within two weeks, five of them within eight days, and one attempt which may prove fatal, is the record thus far. Drank a Pint of Aleohol.

EHI INVENTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE WITHIN THE LAST DECADE, Wonderful Development That Has Taken „ Place Within a Few Years—The Growth of the Electric Light—Some of the Appli- cations of the Electric Current—General Gossip. HAT within the last few " years there has been an immense increase in the number of industries to which electricity is ap- plied u a trite remark butfew have given any close attention to any but the most obvious and common changes that have taken place in the uses to which the elec- trical current has been put, and still fewer have any adequate idea of the extent to which it is used in even the most familiar methods. FIFTEEN OR EVEN TEN years ago it may be broadly stated that elec- tricity, save in the telegraph, and to a very small degree in medicine, was industrially un- know. To-day, although electrical science is admittedly in its infancy, the change has been so great that were electricity to be con- fined to the uses to which it was put prior tothe last decade the inconvenience would be more intolerable than those that would have re- suited had the world been deprived of the telegraph during the period just after the war. Had anyone in 1870 been informed that in less than twenty years a private conversation could be carried on between persons sepa- rated by more than 250 miles, an application de lunatico inguirendo would probabiy have been made, and would more than probably have succeeded. But at the present time a man in New York can talk to one in Boston, the varying tones of the voice being distinctly recognizable. The dim and iasufficient gas lamps have for street lighting been very gener- ally replaced by the arc lights. The pressures in use vary from 5600 to 2,500 volts, the average length of circuits in central lighting stations being about four miles. There are instances on record wherea circuit of nine miles has been supplied from a single central station. THERE ARE NOW IN OPERATION in this country 850 central station arc and in- candescent plants and 800 isolated are plants in factories, mills and other balld ings. The systems most generally employed are the Edi- son three-wire system and the Thomson, Westinghouse, Brush and Slattery alternating systems. As the difference between these sys- tems is not very well understood, a short explanation may not be out of place. In the alternating systems a pressure of from 1,000 to 2,000 volts, not infrequentiy more, is maintained upon a primary circuit, which is very small. This circuit is earried into the basement of the building to be lighted, where it is connected with a converter or transmit- ter, which consists of two coils of wire so placed and proportioned as to reduce the pressure of 1,000 volts on the primary circuit to 50 yolts onthe secondary or lamp circuit. Two wires are used in this system, verters being in multiple are. In the Edison low-tension system of central station lighting three wires are used through- out, with a pressure between the inner and either outside wire of 110 volte, or a maximum pressure of 220 volts. The current is direct, and a constant pressure maintained through- out, indicators and regulating instruments being used to maintain the pressure at its proper intensity at all times. There are in continuous operation in this country 2,400 iso- lated incandescent plants and there are man- —— tor their use 7,500,000 lamps annu- ally. the oon AS A MBANS OF TRANSPORTATION the development of electricity has been no less remarkable. There are now in the United States 180 different electric street railroads, and the number is monthly increasing. Steam is being replaced by electricity in aele- vators. Hundreds of printing offices, thousands of sewing machines, drills, fans, lathes and a hundred other appliances depend upon the new motor. The transmission of power over la dis- tances is now for the first time possible. With acurrent of 1,000 volts 100 horse power can be transmitted to the distance of a mile with a loss ot only 10 per cent. Waterfalis have beea used as a soarce of power for cities m les away by the intervention of the electric wire. In miningit has revolutionized several departments, while in surgery the surgeon's knife is guided by the incandescent lamp, and the probe has in many cases given way tothe electric balance. Electricity has been successfully — in tanoing hides, plating by the electro-deposition of copper and silver is daily becoming more popular, not a faw horse-owners groom their stock by electric power, packages can be rapidly sent long distances, and the elec current has F the humbie boot- ack.

Atthe last meeting of the directors of the Western Union Telegraph Co. the usual divi- dend of 1% per cent was voted, with an extr dividend for the quarter of % percent. Th payment of u per cent as an extra allowance makes the distribution for the current quarter 2 percent, at the rate (if continued) of 8 per cent a year; but, inasmuch as the 8 amount might be given in no other ꝗqdar- ter, it would leave the stock still upon the per cent basis. The estimated earn- ings of the company during the quarter end- ing September 30 were during that quarter put at $1 750, 000, but the real figures proved to have been $2,008 045, or $258,045 more than the estimates; this is equivalent to 2.06 per cent for that term upon the capital stock. An estimate of the business for the quarter end- ing December 31 showed expected net revenues of $2,000,000, out of which interest and sinking fund payments of $233,850 must be —＋ leav- ing, after the payment of the regular iu per cent quarterly dividend, a balance of $688,762. The extra dividend will require $646,432, leav- ng still in hand a balance of $42,330. Electrical Misceliany. It is reported that an office sign readin ‘*‘Criminais Electrocuted with Neatness an Dispatch’’ Isto be had very cheap from an alleged electrical expert of New York. An enterprising suitor in the ay of Detroit proposed by telephone while hie rival was waiting in the parlor for the same purpose. later in the evening the proposal of the other was de- clined. There is already a dearth of competent elec- trical engineers, but the manner in which the various cities are appointing electrical com- missions and electrical experts to supervise plants and wires threatens t) intensify the scarcity. The position of city electrician is nota new one, but the d@ties now being at- tached to it are often new and decidedly oner- ous. Senator McPherson introduced a bill author, izing the purchase, from Stephen Vail, for $10,000, of the original telegraphic instrument used by Alfred Vail, at Baltimore, on Prot. Morse’s first line. The instrument has been on exhibition in the Nationa! Museum fora ear or more. The instrument used by Morse Imself at the capitol end of the line has not been preserved. For determination of the air temperature at reat heights, the Berlin Society for Balioon- ng proposes to try a method of Herr wy, 3 feid, who uses a thermometer which, by t closure of an electric circuit when certain tém peratures are reached, gives a light signal. Small balloons, each containing such a ther- mometer, will be sent up by night, and the light will affect photographically a so-called ‘*photo-theodolite,’’ while the height then attained will be indicated in a mechanical way. It is hoped that more exact formula for the decrease of temperature with height may thus be obtained. The latest electro-mechanical contrivances and one that has not yet been made public, 1- amachine madein Boston, working by elec- tricity, fer taking tintypes. It is in she style of the ‘‘slot’’ machines, now so common. A person stands on a platform, drops a dime into a slot and the maghine prints and carries the tin negative tothe various baths neces- sary for developing, and in a few minutes hands the completed tintype tothe patient waiter. The only obstacle to success thus far is the question of light on dark days, and the experiments are now ag made for the pur- pose of using the electric light, if feasibie. ‘ LITIGATIONS.

Decision reserve THEY DEMUR. lowa Democrats De Not Relish the Fre- posed Re-Election of Allison. By Telegraph to the PoOsT-DISPATCA. Des Morngs, Io., Dec. 28 — The Democrats of Iowa have read with amazement the decia- rations ascribed in newspaper dispatches to Senators Beck, Vest, Pugh and other Demo- oratlo Senators, expressing a hove that Séna- tor Allison will be returned to the Senate by the coming Iowa Legislature. The Democrats of Iowa went out of power in 1854, and have been kept out until the present year. In the face. of certain defeat they bave for thirty-five years kept up an active organiza- tion and conducted some memorable cam- paigns. They have at last won a notable victory. Not only have they elected the Gov- ernor, butin the face of a most unfair and unjust apportionment of the State, for which Allison is responsible, they have almost car- - ried the Legisiature, and the Dubuque Sena- tor’s seat is in jeoparpy. Allison is the head and front ofthe Republican organization in Iowa. His defeat means the defeat of the Republican party and the triumph of Democracy for many years. It means the substitution of a man who, though he might not be a Democrat, would at least be in harmony with the Democratic position on the tariff question. It means a man with Western ideas rather than Eastern, who will bave the courage of his convictions, and whose convictions will be founded upon principie rather than the passing wave of ublic fancy. In making the 5 owa might lose in prestige n the Senate, but the gain would de greatin other directions. It is therefore with a good deal of irritation that Iowa Democrats read these utterances in Allison's favor by distinguished Democrats. They seem from this distance to have been drawn out ata stated time for a specified purpose, for simul- taneously with their coming Mr. Allison, despairing of election by votes of his own party, is pleading and supplicating for Demo- cratic votes. But hewill not getthem. He — be elected by the Republican vote or not a a a ~ A Desirable Plum, Ry Telegraph to the Post-Disraron. — KANSAS Orrr, Mo., Dec. 28.—Ira Alderman of Maryville, a candidate for the United States Marshalship of this, the Western District of Miisouri, arrived in the city to-day from Washington.

He Is Loser in a Land Deal, Yet the Canrts Deny Him Kedress. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. Kansas CITY, Mo., Dec. 28.—In the fall of 1888 W. A. Melton, editor and publisher of the Traveler, an evening penny paper, being the owner of a stock of drugs, traded It for land in Linn County owned by Dr. D. V. Howard of Bucklin, and Lawyer G. W. Bailey of Brookfield, prominent and ‘wealthy citizens. After the trade had been made, Melton charged that he had been de- frauded, alleging that the land was worth only $2 an wacre instead of $30, at which he had taken it, and that it was mortgaged for $1, 200, of whi h he has no been apprised. In the meantime the stock of drugs was burned and Meiton lost his land through foreclosure proceedings. Melton tried to have Bailey and Howard indicted, but failed, and then instituted proceediugs against them in Justice Maybury’s court here for false representations. Justice Maybury de- cided this afternoon that the evidence did not warrant his holding the men for the Grand jury. i BOYS’ READY-MADE SUITS.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 28.—After a hard fight between Harvey Meyers of Covington, W. T. Cox of Bowling Green and Gus Richardson of Brandenberg, the speakership of the Ken- tucky House of the Legislature, which meets Monday, was settled to-day by the selection of Myers by the Democratic caucus. Myers and Vox, who had been warm friends, have been onnvassing actively for six months and Richardson withdrew atthe last moment in Cox’s favor. Green Keller of Carlisle was selected for Clerk, and Harry Glenn of Oarlisle for Clerk of the Senate. Wants to Batile in Louisiana. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcnr. NEw ORLEANS, La., Dec. 28.—Bud Renaud to-night received a challenge from Billy Myers to fight Andy Bowen, the local light weight. The terms proposed are satisfactory with the exception that the Bowen people want the fight to take place in Louisiana under Marquis of Queensberry rules with two-ounce gloves, both men to wei 3 inside of 135 pounds. Meyers wanted the fight to take place in Texas, but as there ie no law in Louisiana against a mill with gloves, and as a square fight and big gate receipts are in- sured in this State, the Bowen management prefer Louisiana. Held Up on Seventh Street. Themas Murphy, living at 518 Ewing ave- nue, came to the Central District Police Sta- tion about 10:30 o’clock last night and re- ported that a few minutes before he had been beld up on Seventh street, between Pine and Chestnut, and robbed of a silver watch and gold chain. His assailant, he said, was a white man, whose description he left with the police. Delayed Four Heurs. The Missouri Pacific train’ from Kansas Clty | was delayed last night forfour hours about five miles west of Washington, on account of the wreck of a freight train, and did not ar- rive in St. Louis until after 11 o’clock. Among the passengers was Gov. D. R. Francis ame down to attend the 828 0 World's Fair Executive Committee. appreciative audience wild. One orator spoke of Washington, and there was applause. He referred te Lincoln, and there was areal breezy round. He mentioned Niedringhaus, and there were some shouts. He said Filley, and—there’s no describing the noise. ' There*were 200 men in the hall when Mr. Niedringhaus entered on the arms of Sheriff John H. Pohiman er Henry Zleg - enhein. An hour later A POLITICAL CLUB of 100 mempers and a band of fourteen pieces arrived with great nolse in the hall. The following gentiemen sat on the plat- form: C. F, Wenneker, C. P. Walbridge. J. K. Cummings, Dr. T. J. Comstock, Ford Smith, Michael Foerstel, Louis Grund, John Wahl, Nat Barth, Henry Ziegenhein, John W. Gates and Richard Bartoldt. Nathan Cole presided. He opened «he meeting with a speech. He was complimentary to the audi- ence and referred ;biographically to Mr. Niedringhaus, whom he said the meeting was to honor, because of bis efforts in behalf of Filley for Postmaster. President of the Council C. P. Walbridge foliowed the chairman. He talked of the growth of Republicanism in the State and was eulogistic of Mr. Niedringhaus. He was also biographical. He congratulatéd Mr. Nied- ringhaus o his course and asked him to tell the President what St. Louis thought of OC. I. Filley for Postmaster. Then followed a flood of sloquence. Mr. John H. Wahl said he was not On seme ac asa politician, but Ma „because 1 love Chauncey I Filley.’’ Mr. Wahl was 6o lit- tle of a politician that he forgot, the reception was to Congressman Nied- ringhaus.

The Filleys are all great men, he said, and the crowd applauded feebiy, Thes ker continued, ‘‘and aoe eatest of them all was iles e. The silence 8 followed this statement astonished Mr. Cummings.

He told how he had met the present Ninth District Congressman. ‘‘I went to Filley’s house one Sunday. He said, ‘Come here, I've got something I want to show you.” He took me into his room and introduced the Ninth District Congressman to me. That was the fret time I had ever heard of him. But ink tw him for ‘the old raan.’ Do you thin would have supported him or would have got 4 vote in the — 4 — if we had known he would knife the old man?’’ Mr. Foerstel was positive that the Ninth District was for Filley, in spite of the Congressman. Val Barth of the Tenth District Congress- lonal Committee said that Congressman Kin- sey was not doing justice to nis constituents in refusing to support Filley. Then Congressman Neidringhaus was called for. The meeting had been worked up to him. He was received with nearly a Filley round of applauee and talked very pleasantly. He told of the efforts made to send Mr. Filley to London or Liverpool, or to get him ‘‘some- thing equally as ood.’’ He deplored the Congressmen’s differences, but said Mr. Kinsey bad asstred him he was now ready to indorse Filley. He told of interviews with the President and said, Mr. Harrison ig the most approachable man in America.’’ His praise for Secretary John W. Noble was enthusiastic. In the course of his talk, without any apparent conuection, he to a story of a colored man in- dorsed for some office by two Demoeratic Senators and made this comment, ‘‘When you hear of race wars and outrages in the South you may be eure it is not altogether the white’ man’s fault. Mr. Niedringhaus disposed of the praises that had been heaped upon bim by the speak- ers saying, "‘My statesmanship is three weeks old. If I have done anything worthy of special mention I am not conscious of it. At the conclusion of the demonstration the crowd adjourned to the residence of Chauncey I. Filley, on Beaumont and Chestnut streets, and tendered him a serenade. In the speeches of some of the ward workers present allusions were made which indicated that their plana were to elevate Congressman Niedringhaus to the gubernatorial chair and to run Mr. Walbridge for Mayor. In breaking up the meeting the crowd made haste to the home of the ole man“ and the Oougressman, in whose honor the dewonstra- tion was arranged, was somewhat ignored. The circular which was sent out to bring together the clans was a rather remarkable document and is entitled to a place in local itical history.

A REMARKABLE ADDRESS. The question of the selection of two spokes- men then came up. It was approached very asi as there was a feeling that it was eavily loaded. After a little desuitory con- versation bad gone on, the individual whose self-appointment had caused all the trouble, arose and stated that this was a most impor- tant point. The claims of New York would be urged by ex-Seoretary Whitney and Chauncey M. Depew. Chicago would unquestionably have able N | and St. Louis, if it wished to stand any chan must not be be- hind in this respect. we What a Senatorial committee wanted was not eloquence, but a clear, cone statement of facts, and men who undérstood this should be chosen. The Speaker father indelicately went on to say that he had learned this out thor- oughly in the course of his numerous appear- ances before Congress, and coul not insist too strongly upon the neces- sity of subordinating mere eloquence to clearbeaded directness. A motion was made that the matter of the speakership be left to the delegation to decide, but this was met by the objection that careful preparation would be required to properly present the claims of this city. It was next suggested that the number of speakers be increased, but this was found to be impossible because the Senate Committee had invited but two from each competing city toappear before it. It was then unan nga voted that the Gov- e.aor of the tate be one of the speakers, but weeltia had been done toward solving the delicate vroblem of the evening. At last Mr. O. A. Cox said, turning to the self-appointed person A your name has already been 71 1,Derhaps you had better be the other er.

RELATIVE INCREASE OF PARTY STRENGTH. The following table gives the relative gains for periods of four years, made by the Demo- crats, Republicans and the combined vote, as against the Democratic party. The vote cast F members of all parties who are given to the study of election statis- tics will read the figures fees. — 1 given below they will find them both valuable and instructive. These figures show the steady falling off of Demo- oratic majorities in this State and the constant increase of the Repub- lican and opposition vote since 1876. Especially will those Democrats who are wont to talk about the 40,000 to 50,000 Democratic majority in Mis- sourifind in this startling array of election statistics much food for thought and refiec- tion as to the causes which have taken Mis- Misgour! with its 54,000 Democratic majority in 1876, and placed it in the list of future doubt- ful States. In this article itis only proposed to present facts, and those who study the facts may pro- pose theories and discuss causes. That the result of each election may be seen at a glance, and for convenience for reference, the complete vote cast by all the parties having candidates is given. In presi- dential years the vote for the party candidates for President and Governoris given, and at the intervening elections the vote for Supreme Judge is given, asis also the political com- plexion of each general assembly. The per- centage of the total vote cast by each party atevery election is also given. The period covered is from 1876 to 1888, both inclusive. ELECTION OF 1376.

While any such result may be a matter of speculation, yet under the present manage- ment of the Democratic party in this State, nothing is being done to organize it and putit infighting trim for the contest in 1890, which will be characterized by all the fierceness and intensity of a presidential campaign, as the election of Congressmen and a United States Senator will give it the character and import- tance of a national campaign. The opposition will have two years in which to lay their plaus and mobilize their forces, and unless the Democratic party cuts itself loose from the influence which have dominated its conventions forthe last eight or ten years, it will lose the votes of thouands of farmers and workingmen who have heretofore voted with it. It is safe to say that at least two-thirds of the 00,000 voters in the Farmers and Laborers Union, Knights of Laborjand kindredjorganiza- tions, are Democrats who have in the past, voted with the Democratic party. But in order to get their votes in the future the Democratic party must demand tariff re- form of the most radical kind; it must declare * the national banking system; against ail manner of trusts and combinations of cap- ital, and in favor of the governmental owner- ship and supervision of railroads. Taking into consideration all these condi- tions, there is no longer any reason why Mis- souri Democrats should point with pride“ to the history of their party for the past dozen years, and every reason why they should view with alarm’’ its present environments, and be filled with anxious forebodings for its future. H. MARTIN WILLIAMS. — — SUBSTANTIAL REMEMBR ANCE, Pierpont Morgan the Recipient of a Valu- able Christmas Present. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—J. Plerpont Morgan of the great Wall street banking house ot Drexel, Morgan & Co., was the astonished recipient on Christmas of probably the most valuable reminder of the day received by any New Yarker. Christmas day the safe vault de- livery wagon of Tiffany & Co. drew up atthe door of the banker’s brown stone residence, at the corner of Madison avenue and Thirty- sixth street, and there was carried into the house a set of silver- plate, magnificent in de- sign and costing more than a moderate for- tune. It was the gift of Wm. R. and Cornelius Vanderbilt, in behalf of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Co., and cost $50,000. The Messrs. Vanderbilt are out of town and Mr. Morgan decilned to talk about his holiday gift, while the — ay who called at the Tiffany establishment, in Union Square, was frozen out by the repre- sentative of that concern, who said coldly: „„We have no information to give to any- one. Not so the genial Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, who was found in his office. Mr. De- pew smiled and replied to the question of the reporter: „es, sir, the gift was made and I believe it is no longer a secret. Mr. Morgan was the chairman of the committee which reor- ganized the New York Central Raliroad Co. It was the firm of Drexel, Morgan & Co. that assumed great liabilities in the refunding scheme. Mr. Pierpont Morgan peremptorily refused to accept any remuneration for the arduous services which be had performed in the matter, nor would he take any pay for the services which his house had performed, or the liabilities which they assumed, and the New York Central has presentea him with a service of plate in recognition of his services. I have not seen the plate, but the figure which named, $50,000, is not far out of 1 believe. The work with Morgan had so much to begun in and continued through 1885. It has only just been fairly completed, in fact. I have no idea of the de- sign of the plate nor the numberof pieces, but I believe it is a very sumptuous service. There was no speech, no formal presenta- tion of the plate, buta beautifully and richly engraved set of resolutions were 3 — and accompanied the $50,000 service of — when Tiffany delivered the latter. Mr. gan had had no previous intimation of the matter, and the gift was a genuine Christmas surprise to him. Bitten by a Mad Dog. Ry Telegraph to the Posr-Dur ron.

N ; - m An English Syndicate Wants to _ Buy the Granite Mountain. The Largest Offer on Record for the Montana Bonanza. British Capitalists, Anxious to Secure Con- trol of the Great Mine, Make an Offer forthe Plant as It Stands—The Largest Bid on Record for a Mining Property— What President Rumsey Says—The Stock- holders Want More Money for the Mine— Histery of Its Discovery and Develep- ment—Nearly $8,000,000 Already Paid in ee ee Still in Preg- ress. , N English syn- dicate is try- ing to bay the Gran ite Mountain, and has made the largest bid for it ever offered for an American mining property. This was the news that was quietly whispered among some of the best-in- formed brokers and D capitalists on Third ft street yesterday after- \ noon, and which L. M. Rumsey. caused the greatest ex citement among the few who were aware of it. At first the story was treated as a canard, but as inguiries were made the fact that it Was true became abundantly evident. The heavy stockholders were deoidedily reticent, and none were inclined to talk very freely about the matter, but it was learned that an offer had been made, and that its terms are now under consideration. THE HISTORY OF THE TRANSACTION is as follows: Some time ago a letter was re- eccived by L. M. Rumsey, President of the Granite Mountain Ca., from a New York broker, asking him whetheracontrolling in- terest in the mine could be purchased, and what it would cost. To this Mr. Rumsey replied that he supposed that a controlling interest could be purchased if a sufficient amount was offered for it, but what the price would be he could not say. Several letters passed to and fro, the St. Louis holders manifesting no eagerness to sell, while the would-be purchasers were evidently very anvioug to buy. The latter were given to un- derstand that no proposition for a mere ma- jority of the stock would be entertained, as the heavy stockholders would not consent to make better terms for themselves than those less largely in ter- ested could obtain. The agent of those seek- ing to purchase the property made one or two attempts to induce the St. Louis owners to setaprice, but without success, and finally an offer was made. The terms proposed were that the sum of $18,000,000 would be paid for the stock or such partof it, more than a majority, that the holders were willing to dis- pose of, the price payable being, of course, reduced in proportion to the amount ot stock remaining out. THERE ARE 400.000 SHAKES of stock and this offer would place a value of S5ashareonit. This price is from $2 to 8 above the price at which the stock has re- cently sold in the market, but the transac- tions have been small; and the stockholders do not believe that the prices obtained fur- nish any accurate guide to the value of the property. While those best acquainted with the progress of negotiations are reticent, it is understood that few if any of the heavy stock- holders are willing to sell at the price of- fered. Although the sum is very large, it is believed. to be considerably less than the value ofthe property. Dividends of 50 cents ashare per month have been paid for some time, and the officers say that they can be kept up indefinitely, and probably increase. Even should there be no increase, the mine at this rate would pay for itself in less than eight years. Negotiations are going on at the pres- ent time, the large stockholders saying that the price is too small, and itis by no means improbable that an advance will be offered. PRESIDENT RUMBEY, when seen and asked about the bid, admitted he had received such a proposition. What do you think of it?’’ was asked. Well, $18,000,000 is $45 a share. ‘*Will it be accepted?’’ do not know any one who wants to sell, So far as lam concerned, I have refused $63 a share for my stock. In answer to further questions, Mr. Rumsey repeated that he knewof noone among the heavy holders who wanted to sell their stock. From this it wo. ula appear that there is small probability of the deal being made. THE GRANITE IS HELD on the basis of whatisin sight, and the En- gZlish proposition is made on the same basis with an allowance, of course, for a good profit to the syndicate and a greatly increased issue of stock in London. The amount in sight, clear, is estimated at away above the 18,000,000 proposition, and it is also estimated at it will continue to pey its present divi- nds to the children of the present holders. e character of the ore deposlt, a true fissure velm, growing richer in gold as depth is at- tained, and the amount biocked out ready to be stoped is thought to make this a perfectly safe calculation. Another feature of value is the development in the eastern levels, after 4 through barren grouud, which prom- etoopenup a second ore body as rich as the one now being worked. THE PRESENT NEGOTIATIONS, 80 far as can be learned, are being conducted by a New York financial agent. He has had personal conferences on the subjectand is very well known to President Rumsey and others ofthe company. The attention of bis people to the mine was first attracted by the reports from the property, and particularly the annua! report which had been forwarded tothem by their New York representative. Some of them had also heard of and visited the property in Montana, while traveling through thatcountry. They bad it as ine | In- vestigated as possible, without the privilege of going through the company’s books and making en expert examination. This bid of $18,000,000 is one of the largest, if not the largest, ever made for an American . The price offered for the Anheuser- usch Brewery is said to have been $9,000,000, or just haif the amount which the English syndicate is willing to pay for the mine. THE GRANITE MOUNTAIN is well known throughout the country, being one of the finest, if not the finest silver mine inthe world. Other lodes have produced far greater amounts than have been taken from the Granite Mountain, notably the famous Comstock, with its output of ,000,000, but in all these the expense of mining has been far greater in propor- tion to the amount of sllver than is the case with the Montana bonanza. Nearly invariably where large bodies of silver ore ex- ist they are ot low grade, the Granite Mount- ain being almost the only exception. The 9 was Griginally located in the antumn of 2, but was allowed to lapse from time to time until July 6, 1875, when the claim known as Granite Mountain Lode Claim was located by Messrs. James W. Estill, Eli D. Holland and Josiah M. Merrell, and recorded July 14, 1875; and the claim known as Granite Mount- .ain Extension Lode Claim was located No- vember 30, 1878, by David Simmons, and recorded Februa 7, 1879. By deeds dated October 18, 1880, C aries D. McLure acquired title, and by power of attorney dated Novem- ber 1, 1880, he granted to Charles Clark the right to sell all his interest in the property. Un- til Mr. McLure acquired the titie, the claims were thought to be ‘good “cat Angel but in- : ut very little development was done prior to the autumn of 1880, Mr. Clark was able to interest the fol- 5 igp ine gentlemen so as to form a syndicate, 3 emvnstrate the value of the property, vis. .

THE MARVELOUS TALES arising from the story of the telegraphic or- der to stop work (in November, „ being crossed by a message announcing the discoy- ery of the Bonanza chute, may be set at rest by a simple statement—the order to Mr. Per- kins, the Superintendent at that time, to dis- continue driving No. 2 tunnel, was because there had been a lack of information at the home office for three weeks previously re- garding developments and prospects (the work being in the 115 feet of barren ground as montioned above), and the officers wished to be able to give the gentlemen contributing the development funds some definite information before asking them for more money. Since July 31, 1889, Mill B has been increased from 40 to 50 stamps. Mill C was completed in March, 1889, and isalarge structure covering 506x260 feet. In the three mille there are 170 stamps and seven roasters. Mul OC, at Romsey, is now connected with the mine &t Granite by a wire tramway, 8,650 feet long, having a fall of 1,170 feet, 800 feet of which is almost a vertical drop from the brow of the Fred Burr Canon. This tramway transports ore and supplies be- tween Rumsey and Granite at a comparatively a mall cost. CHRISTMAS AT THE CAPITAL. Administration Ladtes Give the Annual Feast to Poor Children, Ev Telegranh to the POsSt-DisratTc#. WASHINGTON, D. C., Deo. 28.—The Children’s Christmas Club is a great institution in Wash- ington. Its membership is composed mainly of the young ladies belonging to the families of Cabinet members and the principal officers of the Government of the time being at the capital. It therefore changes with every change of administration. The President's wife is always a patron of the club, and if there are any young ladies in the President's family they always belong to the club. The object of the organization is to give a good Christmas dinner once a your to the poor children of the capital. The invitations are usually distrib- uted through the police, as they are supposed to have the best knowledge of the deserving poor. When Mr. Arthur was President his little daughter, Nellie, always worea white cap and officiated at the table as a waiting- maid to the urchins who were tobe fed. Un- der the last regime Mrs. Cleveland always at- tended the Christmas dinner and bestowed marks of kindness to the children, who are bound to remember and love her for it as long as they live. To-day Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. McKee graced the meeting, and let it ba un- derstood that the President wouid have at- tended if he had been in town instead of duck- shooting in Virginia. For the purpuse of the dinner the city was divided into sections. At each section a hall was selected and dinner was given to some hundreds of youngsters. The principal feast was at the National Rifles’ Armory, where about a thousand children were provided with a dinner, a Punch and Judy show and as many presents as they could conveniently carry home with them. Al 20’oclock Rev. Dr. Douglas, the pastor of St. John’s Episcopal Church, asked a blessing and the pending meal was on. At the word go, uttered by a lay gentleman, the youngsters began. Three ladies were assigned to each table, and their names are as follows: Mrs. J. M. Browne, Mrs. Weld, Miss Mildred Fuller, Mrs. Totten, Miss Anna Wilson, Miss Wood, Mrs. Jere Wilson McHenry, Miss Woodhall, Mrs. MacFariand, Miss MacFariand, Miss Mc- Almont, Mrs. Allen, Miss McCarthy, Miss Thomas, Mrs. Park, Miss Heintzeimann, Miss Noyes. The members of the club who were selected to perform duty as waiters and attend to the wants of their guests were romptly on hand. The giris wore white caps and aprons, and they as well as the boy waiters were kept busy when active operations were begun. The dinner was served in the great hall onthe ground floor, while in the hall up-stairs the ladies were oc- cupied in decorating the Christmas tree and arranging the packages of gifts. Alarge tree was erected on the platform and under the skillful hands of the committee, consisting of Miss Woodhall, chairman; Miss Heintzel- man, Miss Mildred Fuller, Miss Peachy, Mies Woods, Miss Shields, Miss Noyes and Miss Rigas, it became resplendent with all sorts of pretty things, which glowed and gleamed underthe gas-light and made the children think of Fairyland. The District Commissioners, as usual, were present to patronize the youngsters and to re- ceive Mrs. Harrison and the other distin- guished guests. TOOK THE WATCH. Constables Follow Up an Ex-Theatrical Manager and Make a Seizure. Drop that watch,’’ yelled Johnny Ranson, the new comedianinthe Rentz-Santley Bur- lesque Oo., to Constable John Dolan last night as the latter coolly picked up his gold timepiece from the table in the dressing-room pocket ‘*T guess not, said Dolan, with one of his cataleptic smiles. ‘‘We want that watch or else $199.50 which you owe to the Jones Print- ing Co. Are these your clothes?’’ he asked as 3 bundling up a suit which hung on a nall. Ranson’s jaw dropped as he saw the clothes being rolled up. He was clad principally ina pair of tights and some balf-put-on grease paint, and his teeth began to chatter at the thought of appearing on the street in this cos- tume. Hold on. I guess we can fix this matter up. Ranson said. ‘‘Gim’me my ciothes and we'll go out into the office and talk it over. His clothes were returned to him, and with a sighof relief he slippedinto them suspi- OORT Cy eran every movement of the consta- les. The claim on which the attachment was made, was a Dill for printing by the Jones Printing Co. . against Ran- son for work done _ for the latter while he posed as manager of a company. He did not pay the bill and an attachment was made out against him in Justice Kane’s court. Uonstabies Dolan aud Coughlan went to the theater last night just before the performance for the purpose of seizing Ranson’s personal effects, which was done, as already described. Ranson claimed that the watch belonged to but of no avail. The watch is at about $100. It was impossible to scttie the affair in the box-office, so Constable Coughian started ont with Ranson and a friend to look for a bondsman. Ranson 4id not appear as per programme last evening. THK O’HEARBN CASE. The Discharge of a School Janitor Causing Hard Feelings in the Board. There is a promise of a lively fight in the School Board at the next meeting over the discharge of Janitor O’ Hearn by the Building Committee. Mr. Oscar Bollman of the First District is partioularily wrought up over O’Hearn’s dismissal. O’ Hearn is a resident ot Mr. Bollman's district and Mr. Boliman thinks that the action of the committee Was an outrage. He told the committee so at a meeting esday night and a motion was made to reconsider, but lost vote four three, Mr. Bollman O' Hearn ever notified of any charges against the latter and to drop ajanitor who had served four- teen years without a complaint being made 2 him, in such a manher as was done, „ Bollman and other directors also con- sidera very improper p ing and one which they propose to have thoroughly ven- tilated at the next meeting.

They Propose to Go Scot Free, Like the ‘Curbstone Brokers—A Summary of the Week's Business in Property—Agents’ Schedules—A Chicago Speculator In- creasing His Investments Here—Building EAL estate agents, that is several of the promin- ent ones, are going to rebel against paying license. Those who are going to join in the rebellion until the battie has been fought through to the highest courts, until the cause has been lost or won, claimed to have observed the law mclosely by paying their license every year, but from now on they are going to bid defiance to the City Collector and fight him to the bitter end. One ofthe moving spirits in this revolt against the laws of the city says tnat he never had any objections to paying 4 license to carry on the business of selling real property, but what he does find fault with is the political favoriteism or neglect, as the case may be, by which other men who make a specialty of the same pursuit are al- lowed to go and escape scott free without pay- ing a dollar into the Oity Treasury. The class of men against whom this complaint is direct- ed are known as street salesmen, or curbstone brokers, and their name ts legion compared to the regularly established agencies. For more than three years past repeated attempts have been made by real estate firms collect- ively aud individually to induce the City Col- lector to compel these ‘‘outsiders,’’ as they are called, to pay the regular license, but the results have not been satisfactory by any means. Another agent, views on the subject, into a pool to defeat the license law. He did object so much to paying the license. It was $100 a year. He was not trying to save the hundred dollars, but opposed to the principal which makes some agents to pay and allows others to go free. These curbstone men, he remarked, did a good deal of business and got muoh of the cream of it at that. Most of them were able to pay and they ought to be made to pay or, be prevented from coming into competition with regularly licensed agents. As a matter of choice between dispensing with the curbstone man or compelling him to pay the license some of the larger agencies would rather have him retained, for his services are valuable and highly prized in many cases. But since taese itinerant, open- air agents have succeeded so long in evading the law other men in the business, who have a permanentiy located and establisbed office place, propose hereafter to deal in property — the utmost freedom, without regard to cense. giving expression to his said he would put $50 THE WEEK’S BUSINESS. The record of real estate transfers filed last week indicates that $833,290 worth of property changed ownership during the past five busi- ness days. Within that period 97 deeds were filed, against 132 for the previous week, when the transfers aggragated $404,769. These com parisons show a falling off, but no more than might reasonably have been expected during a holiday week. It is not anticipated that the coming week willend with any better results, for that, too, like the one just past will be taken up chiefly in participating in the festivities of the season. In the schedule of sales reported to-day it will be observed that the Hammett-Anderson- Wade Real Estate Co. has sold a large piece of property in Green Lea place. The pur- chaser is Mr. [Thomas Robinson,a Chicago grain speculator, whom it is said lost $100,000 there in one deal not long ago and came to St. Louis to recover his fortune by speculating in real estate.

Denny, a building association secretary, who has given much time and at- tention to the improvement of these money- saving institutions, says the idea is taking a firmer hold day by day in 8t. Louis, and as it develops it proves the strength of the new methods over the old. This is seen in the fact that nearly all the new associations follow some one of the new features introduced by the Peter Cooper Associations just two earsago. They were much criticised at first, — as they had real merit, criticism and dis- cussion but brought people toa better under- standing of their plan, and one by one the new associations have adopted some of the new features. The plan ot giving the borrower all of the money on which be paid interest and paying premiums by installments monthly, is a com- mon favorite. In the old associationsif a borrower desired to close his loan, the gross premium plan gave rise to complications which nearly if not always created dissatis- faction, and the borrower was tue loser. By the new plan de can settle at any time ona perfectly equitable basis. ä The Peter Cooper plan also includes the re- demption of the stock at any time by which the shareholder gets all his money, and if he has been in six months or more the actual net profita earned by his stock are included. The Humboldt Building & Loan Association will probably issue its second series early in the new year. Real Estate Transfers.

By Telegraph to the POST-DISsPATCH. ITTLE ROOK, Ark., Dec. 2%.—Very great preparations are being made by the “Old Hick- ory’’ Democratic Club for the celebration of the birthday of Andrew Jackson on January 8. An elaborate banquet has been arranged, to which a large number ofthe leading Democrats of the State have been invited. Following named guests will respond to toasts: | Hon. P. D. MeColloch, Jr., Marianna: ‘The Young Democracy. g Gen. D. H. Reynolds, Lake Village: ‘‘Jack- sonian Democracy.’’ Hon. E. W. Rector, Hot Springs: ‘*Patriot- ism of Jackson.’’ Hon. D. E. Barker, Barkada: the Friend of the Farmer.’’ Hon. B. B. Hudgins, gresive Democracy. Hon. 8. H. Whitthorne, ‘Rabbit Foot’ in Politios. Judge U. M. Rose of this plade is likewise booked tospeak from an appropriate text, and altogetner the celebration is expected to be one of the most memorable political affairs ever held in the State. It will bring together the best and brightest men in the Democratic party, and as all portions of Arkansas will be represented, the interchange of ideas respect- ing the future course of the party in State affairs will unquestionably result bene- ficially. Democracy Harrison: Pro- Benton: The A POLITICAL SURPRISE. inal Political circles have been somewhat agi- tated during the past week by the formal announcement of Hon. John H. Rogers, rep- resenting the Fourth Arkansas Oongressional District, that he would not bea candidate for re-election. Mr. Rogers prints a letter in which he says among other things: It is due to friends in all parts of the dis- trict who have not only never faltered in their support, but who have held up my hands in the arduous duties here fat Washington] with a fidelity and partiality I can never forget, as it is due the district which has four times consecutively honored me, that I do nothing in voluntarily retiring which can be construed either into Ingratitude to friends or a want of appreciation of tne kindly treatment which the district has uniformly shown me, or that may serve to create dissensions in the party or operate prejudicially toward any of those who may become aspirants for the place. These considerations, among others, induce me to say that I have determined to retire at the expiration of my present term. In doing so lam guided solely by a sense of duty. To all the people of the dis- trict lam deeply grateful, and keenly do I feol the debt of gratitude I owe to many trusted personal friends who have cheerfully and repeatedly given their time and best services to the earnest support of my several candidacies; but for the people of my own county [Sebastian], who have never exacted from mè even a canvass for either nomination or election since I first aspired to a seat in Congrese#, Ishall cherish a devotion that will last while Ilie. That Ihave made mistakes during the past ei years of public service, all know, and none better than I;but it will continue to be the most pleasing memory connected with it that notwithstanding this a generous and noble people have shown their steady confidence and reliance by a stronger and more united support at each succeeding election. It ie likewise a source of gratifica- tion that the party inthe district is stronger, and I think better organized than it has been for years. For the remainderof my term the district shall have my earnest and best en- deavor, and when that is ended I hope the trust may fall into more capable and deserv- * hands. hie letter was received here with much surprise and has created a great deal of com- ment. Mr. Rogers is regarded as one of the most able men in the State, and it was gener- ally thought he would enter the race for Con- gress for the fifth time, only a few personal friends having knowledge of his intention in this respect. As it is, ail sorts of rumors are afloat regarding his political future. He is credited with a desire for gubernatorial honors and also with the ambition of filling the seat in the United States Senate now occupied by Hon. James H. Berry. As a matter 0 fact your correspondent was informed this morning that Mr. Rogers had for months past been arranging to re- sume tbe practice of law at Fort Smith, and that he would ‘‘settle down to work’’ as soon as he is freed from official cares. But, added our informant, he will be one of the most important factors in Arkansas politics, all the same.’’ Be this as it may, his determination to retire from the Congressional arena o most exciting struggle for the n Hon. William M. Cravens and Ju Little, both of Sebastian County, virtually in the race, while Judge J. B. ot Hot Springs is a probable candidate. last named is Judge ot the Seventh Judicial District, Hon. J. 8. Little being Judge of the Twelfth. AN IMPORTANT DISTRICT. The Fourth Congressional District is one of the most important in the State. It embraces the counties of Pulaski, Sebastian, Garland, Sabine, Perry, Yell, Scott, Montgomery, Lo- an, Johnson, Crawford and Franklin, and in t are the chief towns of the State, namely: Little Rock and Fort Smith. Thus far, as concerns representation, the eastern portion of the district, including this town and county, has been altogether ignored, the Con- gressman having fallen to the western end of the district, and this fact ls a source of com- mentandconcern. It is claimed, as a matter of justice, that the candidate should come from this place for the next ensuing term, — giving aa equal division of representa- on. Little Rock, said a representative lawyer to the POST-DISPATCH correspondent last night, ‘‘ought to bring out a candidate and see to it that he is nominated. No time is to be lost. Rogers is out of the way, and the feld is clear and there is nothing to prevent the Democrats of the eastern part of the Fourth Congressional District frow bringing forward a man and securing his nomination by the convention. The indorsement of the convention, as is well known, is equivalent to an election. I know and respect Messrs. Cravens and Little, who are spoken of as can- didates, very much, but they both come from Sebastian unty, and that fact 5 that same locality, has held the In succession, ought to bar them. office be distributed, so to s It o to be kept in one corner of the district ali thit time, for there are good men scat in streaks all over the district.

The Christmas festival given by the Turner Society to the school that is under its charge was quite a success. It was held in their large hall last night, which was crowded. The children, the exercises and the Christmas tree that was laden with good things. Albert Ernst, the principal of the school, had charge of the exercises. The entertainment was closed with a grand ball. One of the most brilliant parties of the season was ro last nights at the handsome residence of Mr. and Mrs. John N. Drum- mond on Twelfth street. The rooms were elegantly decorated with flowers, ferns and — and the music was furnished by Pos - lewaite of St. Louis.

Turaers’ A GIRL’S SAD STORY Brought toa Happy End by a Marriage at Justice Spaulding’s Office. On Christmas eve Jacob Frye was taken from his cell in the city jail tothe officeo Justice James J. Spaulding, where he was united in marriage to Miss Katie Rearich. Frye wis under arrest on the charge of be- tray ing the girl, Miss Rearich having sworn to information a week ago to the effect that he had betrayed her under promise of marriage. Frye is a machinist and carpenter living on Geyer avenue and employed at the works of the Wooden Gutter Co., Main and Park ave- nue. He is 28 years of age. Miss Rearich is younger. For years she has made her home with Mrs. Williams at 2731 Wash street. Frye took his arrest very coolly, insisting that he would go to the penitentiary before he would be forced into any mar- riage. Un last Monday evening, however, Miss Rearich, in despair at the obstinacy of her recreant lover, attempted to take her own life. Left alone in her bed-room for a few minutes she procured a revolver and was in the act of placing itto her head when Mrs. Williams returned and seized the weapon. Then ensued a desperate struggle, the de- termined girl striving to end her earthly troubles and her friend battling to prevent the crime. Mrs. Willams finally succeeded in wresting the revolver from Miss Reari¢h’s hand. The latter then fell in a dead faint, but was soon revived. When the story of the girl’s desperation was told to Frye the following morning he gave way and consented to the marriage. Bride and groom are now living happily to- gether at their home on Geyer avenue. JAMES MARTIN’S DEATH, It Will Be the Subject of an Investigation To-Morrow. N Yesterday afternoon at about 12:20 o’clock James Martin died at the City Hospital. Ooroner Frank has been notified and will hold an inquest to-morrow. Martin was 40 years of age and a carpenter by occupation. He was a married man and lived in East St. Louis. Thursday he came over to this city, got drunk and was arrested by officers of the Third District. An hour after being locked up in his cell at Seventh and Carr streets Martin fell in a fit, injuring his head in a serious manner. He was removed to the City Hospital via the Ci Dispens where he lay in a comatose condi- tion until his death. It was at first supposed that Martin had died from the effects of a fracture of the spine pro- duced by the fallin bis cell. The post-mortem examination showed, however, that such was not the case. There was a severe scalp wound but no fracture. Death was due to an abscess of the brain which had troubled the deceased for a number of months. 2 Modern Woodmen of America. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatTcn. SPRINGFIELD, II., Dec. 28.—The numerous complaints that began pouring in to the State Auditor’s office last November from members of the Modern Woodmen of America, in re- gard to the wrong doings of the officers of the order in Iilinois, caused an investigation of the affairs of the institution to be made by State Auditor Pavey. This lar ) this w ~ other. py * a 4 trunk is quite interest. ing, although the facts on the opening of the trunk are much more curious and interesting. The trunk was the property of Chas, ahaa who has been stopping at Hunt’s Hotel, and was obtained by Constable Hyde in a manner. ‘ apparently became difficulties, for she ran behind in her payments for board until the lady remonstrated. Mr. Miller agreed to be responsible for the board of Miss Wall, the young lady, so it was decided to permit her to remain a while longer. * On the 17th of August her bill amounted te $49, whith made the landiady very weary was- much as there appeared to be no chance of @ settlement. She called on Justice Spaulding, and the result was that Constable Hyde went up to the house and SEIZED THE TRUNK and Miss Wali. At this juncture Miller, the good Samaritan, made his appearance and told the Constable that if he would take bis trunk as security and let Miss Wall's trunk go be would be greatly pleased and would also put up a nie des $10 gold piece for the costs. The exchange was effected and Miss Wall took ber trunk and movedaway. Miller represented that he was engaged to marry Miss Wall and that her trunk contained her bridal trosseau. It bas since transpired that Mies Wall did not re- mdin constant to Miller, as when he went to New Orleans and wrote for hertocome on and join him she falled to do so and In a few days married another man, according to the report at the Justice’s office. - Iller is a geniusin his own way, ae the contents of bis trunk prove. The owner of that trunk at least was a gambler and was uo appears that he had a few tricks of his owg, which he used to his own advantage, both for use and for sale to his customers. T papers in his trunk would indicate that was a resident of Minneapolis, and a note book showed that he was known by a number of different names throughout the ceustry. The book showed his route for the past sum- mer, with the names of fairs at which he had „worked, and also accounts of his earnings, the figures of which showed him to have been very industrious. SOMB OF HIS TRICKS. In the trunk was found a cigar with the end chewed, Dut which had never been lit. In the side of the cigar was a small, round mirror about thesize of a dime. The way he w to lay tbe cigar down carefully when he dealt the cards so as to enabie him to see what cardshe was «fving out to nents. When not dealing the cigar could be held between the teeth in a natural way, an any way careful. There was alsoin the trunk a plated with a little socket into which the eS be slipped while dealing. In this way he could readily see just what cards the others were receiving when he dealt. Then there was the ‘‘hold-out,’’ a contri-: vance for holding extra cards so that t blayer who used it could cheat the ot $ This ‘‘hold-out’’ was a very simple affair, and one not used toit would never suspect the purpose for which it was used. The hold- out could be placed at the convenience of Diayer. There were a number of printed circulars in the trunk, some of them advertising the above described article and a new way for marking and shading cards so as to make what are called ‘‘readers’’ or cards which can be told by a person familiar with them, by certais signs or shadings on the backs which desig- nate each card. ‘ THE FIRST CIRCULAR was a sort of an introductory one as follows: **GENTS—I have a new process for cards and I defy any gambier to find mark. I will make two cards and on ofastamp will send them to you. can’t find the mark return one and keep I will mark the one you send me return it to you so you can find the mark the one you hold. There is no use for this mark unless you want to beat men, make it. Two men can use this m one man cannot find the other’s mark. | ‘‘Talso make cards forshading.

Mrs. Kennerly, Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Priest Chat About the New Year Customs When They Were Girls—How the Day Was Observed—The Three Fiddlers— Some Joyous Times. Written for the|SUXDAY PoOsT-DISPATCH. | 8 there any hope of reviving the custom of receiving New Year’s calis?’’ said a SUNDAY Post-Dis- PATCH representa- tive to one of the prominent society women, an authori- ty on all social ques- tions. Not the faint- est, was the reply. The dear old custom is practically dead now and I doubt much it it will ever be resurr ect- ed. It’s a sad pity, too, for it was a most happy manner of meeting ali one’s old friends, forgetting petty quar- rele and establishing new friendships. I don’t think in any other city there was ever such splendor inthe celebrating of the day. The most superb costumes of the season were ordered for New Year’s Day, the houses finely decorated, and as forthe table, every luxury was served on it; wines of the finest bouquet fiowed like water, and every art was used to make ita day to be remembered. First only the ladies of the family received their friends, then afterwards when it became the custom to have sometimes twelve and fifteen young ladies assist the hostess ‘the scene was positively dazzling. Especially when daylight has banished for the fashion of gas, the brilliantiy illuminated rooms, the biaze of jewels, the glow of the flowers, the rainbow of satins and velvets of the women made a grande miseen scene not soon to be forgotten. The entrance and departure of the men in evening dress, the good-will pledging in sparkling champagne made it for all the world like a picture on the stage. I remembe once one lady had ner house not only banked _ end garianded with roses so rare then at this @geason, but she also had a carpet of them, or rather carpets of them, made so the callers should walk literally on a bed of roses. In one of the rooms she had a fountain erected where the flashing sprays were not of water, but of the finest imported perfumes. The goent throughout the house was simply deii- cious, and the splendor of every detail of that reception was town-talk, on the second day of the year, I can tell you. The squares about the homes where the receiving was in progress were lined with carriages and one of the peculiar features was the early morning pict- ure, when the young ladies were on their wav to the houses where they were to aid in re- ceiving. They were enveloped in ball mantles and opera cloaks, and always, of course, had their heads enveloped in clouds of crochet wool or lace, and always with faces lighted with expectancy. There was much bowing and nodding and returning of the salutations as carriage after carriage passed each other and the occupants discovered their other fair friends on their way to the house where they SHINE AS STARS in the aid of the waiting hostess. about 12 when the reception was fully under Way and 12 at night when it was over. Then came the counting of the cards, the greatest number of callers nee the great aim and end of New Year’s. As the belle at the ball counts her sought-for dances, so did the hostess on New Year’s enumerate with eagerness just how many had calied. She who counted the atest number had the gem in the crown of New Year’s Day. Finally the craze formany callers became so intense that all - gorts of artifices and ruses wore used to swell the list, the husbands and fathers were madeto drop in, and even smal! brothers ane other caller. The height of all this splendor iim celebrating was just reached when New Year fashion decreed the custom abolished - from the sacred shrine of the Ultra’s in the e etropolis, and little baskets henging on It would be ta e door-bells grew more numerous eac Pear to catch the oards of the callers, and be the silent announcements that the ladies that day.

This year there is to be simply mo receiving; that is in the most conservative 0 „It is a great pity, too, for it was such leasant way to greet the New Year. The jes clung to it as jong as possibile, and a . an to then ot pt slow! became the nence in 1 * the incentive for greeting. and The need of sipping wine at each place was not imperative, and the ‘abuses’ of the com- plainers could have been easily corrected. A great cause of displeasure was that it brought people inferior in social standing into contact with those of the more exalted station. The contact, that is a nod, and a word was so very slight as not to be dangerous to further ac- quaintance, and besides this twocould have had acorrective by issuing cards, as some ladies did to those whom they wished to re- ceive. Oh! the ‘abuses’ could have been made all right, and I’m so sorry, ever so sorry, the custom is dead now in the fashionable world,’’ and the disciple of conservative aris- tocracy sighed deeply. This lady was notthe only one who regret- ted the decline of the once popular habit. It is a subject of much regret on all sides and one or two of the more daring girls have de- clared that they will receive all who come to seethem even if no other ladies do. But this declaration seems only a little wilful bravado, as the present outlook points only to CLOSED DOORS and ‘‘not at home’’ on the coming first. But the comment on the cessation of this fashion suggested to the SUNDAY PoOSsT-DISPATCH representatvie to gather a bit of 2 regarding the long ago method of celebrating New Year’s Day. Mme. Primm, the mother of the late Judge Wilson Primm, and who, by the way, was only 16 years older than her brilliant son, used to tell a few years ago, before the hand of death touched her, of the happy way in which the early St. Louisans celebrated lst day of January. She had a fund of interestin reminiscences connected with this event, an would tellof the quaint entertainments and how it wasthe privilege of each gentieman who calledat the home to claim a kiss from each of the ladies of the bouse. The kiss was given coyly, but unrebuked, for itwas the especial favor of the New Year’s Day. The receptions would beon the enfamilie order. There was little preparation, andthe men who called were mainly cousins and old friends. The dear old lady with her wealth of anecdotes has passed away, but there is another lovely lady of the ancient regime who still lives active and marvelously ciearin mind in the home where she was born—S8t. Louis, and now despite her 90th birthday being passed is as bright in conversation and manner as though ahe was eo of acentury younger. This is Mrs. E. M. Kennerly, who resides with her daughter, Mre. Mery Taylor, and her grand- daughter Mrs. Mortimer F. Taylor at their pretty home on Morgan street, near Ware avenue. She came to welcome the SUNDAY Post - DISPATOH representative with a smile of welcome and readily consented to think u a reminiscence of the old way in which New Year’s Day was celebrated. ‘‘Let me see; Iam one of the oldest ladies in St. Louis, she said, ‘‘I ex- pect the very oldest who was born in the city, tor I passed my 90th birthday some months * - You want to know something of New ear’s Day as far back as say 1814? Well, I was only & tony old then, but I remember dis- tinctly how they received in those days; in- deed, there wasn’t any receiving, for St. Louis was too poor to allow anyhody to have any confectionery or spend any money at all im receiving guests. Yet New Year's was always welcomed as a day when all friends would call to greet the coming of the new year: My father, who was Antoine Francois Saugraine, lived in a stone house between Second and Third streets near Hazel and Mulberry streets. Of course the house was only one story high because there were no higher stone houses in those days, yet there was a distinction in my parents’ home because we had the only hall in the town. On New Year’s Day the two big rooms, the parlor and the dining- room, would be where the FRIENDS WOULD CALL. My mother and sisters, one of whom after- wards became Mrs. Reel andthe other Mrs. Henry Von Phul, and I would remain with our mother to welcome all who came to Gall, but we did not dress with any greater style for the day, and really made no preparation Whatever. Our men friends came in and were welcomed, and all day the callers continued. The young lady relatives ofthe family would come too, to kissand greet my mother, and we had a pleasant time informally. As years passed by and the town grew arger we made greater preparations. Eventu- ally I married Mr. Kenner! and moved to Council Bluffs, Io., then almost a wiiderness, On N return later to the city my husband und I lived at Jefferson] Barracks, as he was in the army, and we used to have leasant, but informal New Year’s recep- jonas then. The later years I used to watch the elaborate preparations, the dresses, the flowers, wines and bon bons with interest and compare them with the old time New Year’s Day. Idon’tthink after ‘all the late ones were nearly 80 pleasant as the ones I ‘remember in the old home near Second street, when love was all ood will the angel of the hour,’’ and the handsome old lady smiled at her little 8-year-old great grand daughter, who was playing near by. and as the Post- DISPATOH representative rose to leave the narrator of old times, despite protestations, accompanied her guest to the door with the ease and grace of a young ma- tron. Ia a call upon Mrs. Bernard Pratte, the widow of Gen. Pratte, re ing the method of celebrating New Years long ago, she said: ‘‘New Years was a very happy * in the early times. On that day al the men poopy © and friends would call to greet the les who were waiting to welcome them. This time was one of general rejoicing. We put on our prettiest gowns and had always a universal reunion of friends and relatives. All the men friends came to pay their devoirs, and many of the young lady relatives or friends. There wasa great deal of hearty omer | and greeting and ex- change of love and friendship, and on shies all the lite disagreements of year a © up and * 5 given and little unpleasantness smoothed over by forgiveness and atonement | and we had a deli pleasant time, and looked forward to it as the merriest day of all the year. But we celebrated the holiday season from the beginning of Xmas Eve, when we always attended midnight mass, which was a glorious religious observance, and placed everybody ina proper frame for enjoying the season, religiously and in a worldly sense. The festivities always wound up with the twelfth night, when the great event of the year, the ‘King Ball,’ took place. This entertainment was the SPLENDID ONE OF THE SEASON, and the one that I looked to, of all others. The young people all assembled in their happiest moods, the young ladies in their most beauti- ful attire. The King and Queen were of course the observed of all observers, and the way in which they came to be crowned for the occasion was a quaint and pretty one. In the center of the table a large cake was placed; in it was baked one bean, and whatever man drew the bean was to be the King of the ball, and it was his prerogative to selecta lady as Queen, just as in the tournaments of old, only on these occasions luck, and not skill and prowess, won the championship. The King and Queen ruled royally the festival, and there was a perfect song of mirth and merr!- ment all during the bour, which made the King Ball the most famous and best liked of all the old-time customs. Later, when my daughters and granddaughters celebrated the new year’s advent m formal fashion, I would tell them that nothing like that could ever equal the pleasure of old St. Louls when the King Ball was the gem of the year. Mrs. John G. Priest, speaking of old times to the SUNDAY POST-DISPATOH representative, said: ‘‘The New Years were delightful times long ago, and my father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Auguste P. Chouteau, made all our rel- atives and friends welcome at the old home. There was a great deal of welcome and chat- ting in French anda great deal of happiness on that day of days. Silk gowns were not an every day affair in St. Louis those early days, I can tell ou. When one young lady would get a silk gown from New York she would send aroun to all the young ladies in the city to come and see 1. Miss — has gotten her dress from New York, come and see it this afternoon,’’ was generally the word sent by the servant, and quite a gathering would assemble in the young lady’s home to view and admire the wonderful silk gown. Tue fortunate girl would be the cynosure of all eyes, and generally putting on the dress to show its stvie and fitting qualities, would walk around the room to be admired, roud as the proverbial peacock. e enjoyed receiving our friends on New Years in the informal fashion then in vogue, and everybody, young and old, would call at the different houses to offer .THB SBASON’S GREBTING. **I think the later fashion of — ge the day only one of formality could not fail to die away because it was not, like the early ones, full of real love and interest and good will but merely a whim of fashion, which must 0 way to other novelties. in the oe time for New Year’s Day, or any other entertainment time, was only three old negro musicians,one of them ry old Andre, the fiddler. There was always a demand for these musicians, and always a contest to se- cure their services, — eee ray A when there were several entertainments to be given. The old negro musicians fully appreciated their importance and reaped golden gain out of it. For instance, this was one of their tricks: When midnight would approach, after having played all evening, they would affect to be very tired, and closing their eyes af- fect to be falling asleep at their playing. Of course just then the dancers would bein the zenith of their excitement and gaiety, and want bright music to aeccom- pany their dancing feet. So some young man would go and throw a picayune to old Andre or Pierre and did him wake up and play faster. The old fellows would arouse for the time and give them a lively tune; then they would assume to doze again, and some other lover of the dance would go out with the com- mand, play faster now,“ and toss them an- other picayune or bit, and so it would O on till the ‘‘wee sma hours and the wiley old musicians would leave, with a regular harvest of picayunes and bits, reaped through the lovers of the dance and their own ‘foxiness,’ which really deserved a reward of merit for the trouble it caused them to ‘act asleep.’ In these days when there are sO many bands, it seems strange to remember the days of the ‘fiddlers three’ and even when the ‘Arkansas Travel- ler’ was the only ‘dancing tune.’ Those were the happy days, I can tell you, and they were conservative too, for the old Creoles woe strictly to themselves in all their rejoio- ng. o the death of the old custom of receivin calis and celebrating New Year is receiv with sorrow by every . Old and young alike weep over the demise of welcoming the boy king, the new year, to his new throne, the world. Yet despite the embers of the dead custom in celebrating the day by calls and receptions there can never be but one in each breast, that of resolution mentally and morally to have each leaf of life turned brightly on January 1, and the reception of new reso- lutions and the calls for a brighter and better year than each past one can never be classed among the ‘‘what has been.’’ ANTORIA.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS The Record for the Present Year, Showing the Number of Mines and Miners, Value of Coal, Prices Paid for Mining, Casual- ties and Strike Troubles—Proceedings of the State Teachers’ Association in Session at Springfield. By Telegraph to the Post-Drsratron. PRiINGFIELD, III., Spe. W. —The eighth annual report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the year ending July 1, 1889, will be issued within the nex month. The com- plation is made by Dr. J. 8. Lord, the Secretary, and the statistics of the coal in- dustry is complete and very Interesting. The following summaries are compiled from the reports of the several inspectors, and present the zeneral results of the year’s business for the State at large: Number of counties in which coal bas been mined Number of employes of all kinds Number of mſnerree us. Number ot other employes (including ys Number of boya employed under ground Average number of days of active oper- ations......... ; Number of kegs of Average price pai wder used per ton for hand Numberofmen killed. .. - ... cas Number of wives ma minesreovened.... . .. Number of mines closed .. ........... .. Number of mining machines in use 235 These totais epitomize the year’s experience in the coal flelds of Illinois, and, compared with corresponding totals for other years, at- ford a measure of the variation between them. THE OUTPUT. In view of the mildness of the winter, and the depression in trade occasioned by it, aud more especially in view of the gona sus- pension of operations inthe northern field, pending a settlement of the wages question, during the last two months ef the year, the falling off in the annual output is perhaps less than might have been expected. As com- pared with the prededing year the total prod - uct of the State is 257,225 tons less, though still materially greater than that of any of the years preceding 1888. MINES 4ND MINERS. The number of mines and of men is slightly increased over all former years; the average value of the product has dropped from $1.12% to $1.07% per ton; the average number of days of active operations has fallen from 220 to 211; the price of hand-mining for the State at large is found to have slightly increased and the number of fatal accidents has mate- rially diminished. There has been rather more than the usual number of new mines opened, but a corresponding Increase in the number closed; while the number of mining machines re asin use is less by thirty- cores: than the number in use the year ore. Of the 854 so-called mines 217 only are of the and really contribute 3 the a goes h as wel ts to 18, 195,606 tons. : * crease in the output in tne whole State there hes been a gain inthe Fourth and Fifth Dis- the industry in to be much more 8 an in the northern. In the north the falling off was 694,452 tons, and the gain in the south- ern districts was 437,227 tons. Macoupin is Gileads with an output trict of 86.7 cents. In the Second District, on tne other hand, in the northwestern portion of the coal field, prices range from $l. 25 to $2.25 per ton atthe pit, with an average of $1.43. PRICES PAID FOR MINING BY HAND. The customary compilation has been made of the rates per ton paid for mining coal by hand, as distinguished from machine pro- cesses, in the various seams and localities within the State. As this report covers the situation as of July 1, 1889, and prior to the recent reduction of prices in the first district, the figures here given are those which pre- vailed during the year preceding the strikes and lockouts of May 1 in the northern field. The result of the averages by districts and counties shows very little change for the three ears 1887, 1888 and 1889—the respective rates or the State at large being 72.7 cents, 71.7 cents and 78.1 cents per ton. In the tables of general averages it is shown that the lowest price paid is 31% cents, and the highest $1.50 per ton, and the localities in which they are found correspond with those in which the extremes in values are reported. Coal which ts sold at 50 cents per ton is mined at 31% cents, if mined by the ton at all, and coal sold at $2.25 is mined at $1.50 per ton. This average value is for the product of all mines, but the price of mining is for those only in which coal is mined by hand, so that the application is not altogether exact; but making aseparate group of all the mines worked by hand, it is found that the average vaiue of their product is $1.147 per ton, which as the sole product ofthe hand-miner’s labor isthe proper amount to compare with his wages. On the other hand, the re value of the product of all machine mines is only 92.4 cents per ton. The proportion of the total product mined by hand is 76 per cent, and chat mined by machines 24 per cent. MINING WITH MACHINES. | The report shows a diminution in the num- ber of machines and also in the number of mines in which they are used, though a „ gain in tonnage cut. The gain in tons is 95,5038, though the numberof machines reported is thirty-seven less than last year. his year the machine-mined coal is 21 per cent of the entire product; last year it was 19 per cent. The increase in the output of thie char- acter is largely in the fourth district, ana the decline in the first and fifth. Several new fmachines have been produced during the year and several experiments have been made in the use of electricity in the lace of compressed air. The mine at Girard n Macoupin County has an electric plant on trial which is turnishing motive power toa new device for under-outting the coal and at the same time a current fora system of elec tric lights throughout the workings. The ruling rates of wages in the thirty-five mines where machines are used are $2.25 $2.50 per day for the machine operators; $1.75 for helpers; $2for blasters; $1.75 for loaders; 2 for timbermen; $1.50-$1. 75 for laborers and $2 for drillers. The total number of employes in this indus- tryin the State for the year is shown to be 80,076, or 666 more than any previous year. The whole number of miners is 23,583, showing a gain of about 3,000 since 1883. CONSUMPTION OF POWDER. The report shows that 169,332 kegs of pow- der have been used by 10,990 miners in reduc- ing 6,061,149 tons of coal in 461 mines during the year. These figures reduced to their ultimates show an average of 15.4 kegs per man and 35.73 tons of coal produced per keg as thejexperience of the State at large. The ex- tremes range from 2 kegs per annum per man to 83 kegs; and from 10 tons of coal to the keg to 174 tons. These figures have relation only to the common method of mining, with or without undercutting, in pilar-and- room workings; they do not refer to the consump- tion of powder in long-wall mines, because, in those, explosives are not used for recover- ing the coal; nor in machine mines. CASUALTIES IN MINES. The number of tatal accidents which have occurred in the mines of the State during the year is 42; the number of persons receiving injuries, more or less serious, is 201. Com- ared with the experiences of former years his is a favorable showiog as to the number of killed, though the number of injured this year is somewhat in excess of former years. As aresult of the 42 deaths during the year, 20 women were made widows and 7 children made fatuerless? The ratio of children to widows is not, however, an index of the num- ber of children dependent upon the widows as some of the victims were widowers, an their children have consequentiy become orphans.

John A. Ander- son in the Fifth Dis- trict for another term in Congress, is being withdrawn and that Mr. Anderson will, in all probability, be renominated by the Republicans with but little, u any, opposition. G. M. Stratton, who was Chairman of the Republican Central Com- mittee of the Fifth District during the last campaign, said to the §Post-DISPATCH corre- spondent to-day that the fight which was being organized against Mr. Anderson in Cloud, Olay and other counties a few weeks ago is now on the wane. He be- lieves that another term is to be conceded to Mr. Anderson, as the State isto be redis- tricted in 1891, and the boundaries in all prob- ability willbe entirely changed. Ambitious statesmen of the Fifth District who have an eye on Mr. Anderson’s place have come to the conclusion that the wise thing to do is to post- pone ithe fight until the new districts are made. CONGRESSMAN PETERS. The statement is made by a prominent Re- publican of the Seventh Congressional Dis- tricot that Congressman Peters, who has been in the House for twelve years, will not de @ candidate for re-election. The gentieman says that this informa- tion came to him from a “reliable source and that Mr. Peters did not intend to ask for another term. This decision of Con- gressman,Peters will inaugurate in the Sev- enth District a lively contest among the half dozen aspiring statesmen who are willing to hely represent Kansas in the National Con- gress. Prominent among these are Col. J. R. Hallowell and Judge H. C. Sluss of Wichita, Senator H. B. Kelley of McPherson, Judge J. O. Strang and Senator J. W. Rush of Larned and Senator F. E. Gillett of Kingman. It is thought that Col. Hallowell and Senator Kelley will be the most prominent candidates. Col. Hallowell has declined to join the resubmission movement in Wichita and this may give him some trouble in securing the delegation from Sedgwick County. To Col. Hallowell is due the credit of defeating a resubmission bill in the last County Convention. Senator Kelley has been devoting his time to the study and discussion of the silver question for the past year with a view to a congressional race. His address be- fore the National Silver Convention at 8&t. Louls adyocating free coinage and his vigor- -ous editorials in the McPherson Freeman, of which he is editor, touching that and the trust question have operated to his interest with the farmers, making his candidacy dan- gérous to the other aspirants. THE RACE FOR DEPARTMENT COMMANDER. There isa lively contest in progress among the members ofthe Grand Army of the Re- public over the position of Department Com- mander. he State Encampment is to be held at Salina during the last week in Janu- ary. There are two very prominent men who are candidates for the place. Oneis Col. R. W. Blue of Pieasanton, who has been in the State Senate for eight years and has been prominent in political and G. A. R. circles ever since the eariy days of Kansas. The other is Capt. Ira F. Collins of Sabetha, who is now Senior Vice-Commander of the Depart- ment of Kansas, and ig avery popular man among the old soldiers, many of whom think he should be promoted to the first place in the department. Both men are advocates of service pension, and it is sald that both men expect at some time to be candidates for Con- gress. JUDGE DOSTER’S MORTGAGE DECISION. Considerable excitement among brokers and chattel-mortgage dealers was caused afew days ago by the statement that Judge Frank Doster had decided a mortgagee could not buy property at a Sheriff’s sale under foreclosure proceedings. Judge Doster was asked for an explanation of his decision and replied: Tot course did notso decide so far as the mortgage of real estate is concerned. I did decide that a chattel- mortgagee could not buy at his own sale, where he had received com- petitive bids, and where, instead of selling in parcels, he sold in gross, after being request ed by bystanders to sell in parceis,and in such case he must account to mortgagor for value of property, and not its purchase price simply. In this case linstructed that a chat- tel-mortgagee could not buy at his own sale, but the burden le upon him to show such sale was fair and bona fide.’’ THE SUGAR*OUTPUT. It is pow certain that the output at the Med- icine Lodge Sugar Factory, which has been the most successful in the State this year, wil! exceed 4 unds. It was thought until this week that it would not exceed 470,000 pounds, but the ‘‘seconds’’ are much richer than was anticipated. This places the plant at Medicine Lodge at the head of the ligt as the most successful one ever built. It has paid every dollar due for cane and labor and does not owe one cent on account of the sea- son’s work. Yesterday there was shipped from here seven car loads of sorghum sugar for New Orleans. A charter was filed with the Secretary of State yesterday for another sugar factory to be built at Kingman. The capital stocx of the company is $500,000, and the directors are Oharies H. Hinman and O. J. Hinman of Med - leine Lodge, G. W. Wattles, O. A. Kentner, J. R. Whitney and W. A. McLogan of Carroll. III.; L. J, Drake of Omaha, Neb.; R. S. Cates, Albaugn, W. R. Coleman, Omar Gillett, wis Walter of Kingman, and W. T. Cannon of Cunningham. This company pro- oses to build a mill and factory for manu- acturing and refining sugar and syrup from beets, and glucose from grain and seeds. A BIG ACCESSION. The department of natural history at the State University has just received a large ac- cession to the herbarium, consisting of 800 species of North American plants not before represented in the collection. They are mostly from California, and were received from the eminent botanist, J. C. Martindale of Cam- . in change fora duplicate col- lection of butterflies and moths collected by k. A. H. Snow in Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. Five hundred of these species are mounted ready for the berbarium. This makes the total number of North Am the State University herbarium > A. G.

Resolved, By the Central Kansas Livestock Association, that we are unalterably opposed to adopting the system of weighing contem- pen for the reason that it would cause ours of delay in unloading stock and in get - ting the bills to make settlements after the stock is sold—the delays corneas shrinkage and other loss to the shipper. o railroad companies have not reduced the rates on live stock shipments In proportion to the decrease in the price of such stock and we believe the proposed change in weighing is sought to be established for the purpose of increasin rates. The proposed plan having been trie in both Kansas City and Chicago has proven very unsatisfactory to all shippers. TEACHERS DECLARE FOR PROHIBITION. The annual meeting of the Kansas State Teachers’ Association which closed yesterday, and which was the largest ever held in the State, adopted the following resolution on the prohibition question: W bereas he probibitory amendment to the Constitution of Kansas has, by driving the saloon beyond her borders, pe oe hap- ate and comfort to thousands of homes, as brought thousands of soper, industrious 21 to us from other States and from other ands; has reduced crime and pauperiem; has made it easier for us to govern and teach the children of the commonweaith, and has ele- vated Kansas toa plane of civilization never reached by any other people in the history of the world; therefore, Resolved, That we are now and forever op- posed to a resubmission of the prohibitory amendment; and that it is our deliberate con- viction that the prohibitory amendment is as firmly imbedded in the constitution of Kansas and in the hearts of her people as are the thir- teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments imbedded in the Federal constitution, and in the hearts of the American people. Resolved, That the substance of the fore- going resolution be telegraphed to every State Teachers’ Association now in session in any part of the United States. The Brewer Reception. By Teleeranvh to the Post-DISPATOR. ATCHISON, Kas., Dec. 28.—The social event of the coming week will be the reception by Maj. B. P. Waggener in honor of David J. Brewer, of Leavenworth, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. It will ocour Tuesday night, and between 600 and 700 invitations have been issued. Among other distinguished personages from abroad who have been invite are Chief Justice Horton and other members of the Supreme Court of Kansas, United States District Judge Foster of Kansas, Gov. Humphrey and the other State officers, the Governor of Nebraska and staff, United States District Judge Dundy of Nebraska, and prominent members of the bar of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missour!. HEAVY FREIGHT TRAFFIC. The Missouri Pacific Railroad yard hands will close the month of December with a rec- ord of 30,000 loaded freight cars bandied through Atchison. This is by far the largest businessin the local history of the road. There have en seasons before when there was as much freight to haul, but the weather has never been as favorable. When business is ordinarily good the Pacific handles about 16,000 cars a month in Atchison. There are some engineers on the Central Branch and Missouri Pacific who will make $175 this month. They have been on their engines about two-thirds of the time. FIGHTING THE PACKERS’ COMBINE. A meeting of farmers of the county was held in the Court-house this afternoon for the pur- pose of appointing delegates to the State Stock Breeders’ Convention to. be held in To- peka, January next. The annual meeting of the State Agricultural Society will occur the same day, and asthe object of the con- vention ia to take action relative to the dressed beef combine, the attendance promises to very large and the proceedings very interesting. At the meeting this after- noon the following were named as delegates to the convention: Ex-Gov. Geo. W. W. Guthrie, L. P. Dubois, Wheeler, Isham Holmes. I. H. Martin, D. C. Hall, G. A. Cushman, Samuel Arthur, Lutber Dickerson, J. B. Wilcox, C. 8. m, L. R. Spaugler, D. G. Wilson, Robert White, F. E. Clayes and W. 8. Percell. Gov. Glick and Mr. Guthrie deliverod short addresses, briefly stating the grieyances of the farmers of the country against the combine. Gov. Glick charged thatthe hog packing industry was practically in the hands of four men,who con- trol the prices of both hogs and pork and dt rect what the packers ot the country shall do. He said that a combine was formed under the leadership of these four men two or three years ago, by which the pork product ofthe country was limitedso asto control prices. All the packers of the country were drawn into the combine, and an ironciad agreement entered into fixing the maximum number of hogs the several packers might kill, the number being fixed according to their respective capacities. If a packer chose to kill more than his number in a year he should pa a fine of 2% cents a head on the excess. If he Illed less than his number he should receive a reward of 25 cents a head for the difference. As a result many packers closed their houses, killing no hogs at all, preferring to receive the 2 cents a head on thelr quota than do any business. The aggregate of this reward! for idle houses amounted to abéut $300,000 a year, some houses 89 as high as $20,000 apiece, all of which Gov. Glick charged came out ot thefarmers. By the hog com- bine packers can manipulate the market just as they please. In former years in the stock yards of Ohicago there were four or five hundred buyers representing packers all over the East, and when a farmer took his hogs or cattle to market there was active com- petition and he got a — 2 good price. The combine had destroyed this once great market and the buying is now done by beard- less boys, who rush through the yards offer- ing prices that their bosses have fixed and the farmers are compelled to sell or suffer their animals to eat up their value in feed, only to be compelled finally to accept the figures fixed by the combine. aving vust houses and im- mente storage capacity for both pork and dressed beef packers can afford to suspend killing thirty or forty days, and still — § the market with meat; thus, the deman being shut off farmers cannot stand out against the exactions of the monopoly. It an attempt is made in localities to astablish home markets by inspection ordinances tke Federal courts construe such action to be in violatian of the interstate commerce provision of the Constitution. If the butchers decline to buy imported meat the packers combine and open a market and undersell the home killed meat. Ifthe farm- ers undertake to get laws on the subject through the legislature the lobbyist is on hand wigh backing and money to defeat the measures. The convention will appeal directly to Con- resse, and will pass iron-clad instructions for the guidance of the Senators and Representa- yee of Kansas. Broom Factory Froposition.

Chicago’s Board of Trade and Elevator Men at War—An Advance in Wheat That Won't Materialize—A Dead Level of List- lessness Characterizes Wall Street Opera- tions—Review of the Markets. By Telegraph to the Post-DispatTon. . HICAGO, Deo. 28.—The Chicago Board ot Trade is passing through a discomfort- ing ‘‘sweat,’’ The bucket shops are get- ting the big end of the speculative trade, and now the elevator pro- prietors are appropri- ating the bulk of the receiving business. The commission merchants are between the devil and the deep sea, and they are struggling for breath. The notice served by the elevator companies of an ad- vance of Kc a month in storage charges after January 1 was the match in the powder maga- zine that has produced an explosion. Two largely attended meetings of mem- bers of the board have been held to protest against the advance. Incidently it has come to light that the ele- vator companies have been cutting the ground from under the receivers by sending agents through the country and scouring it for wheat, outbidding everybody. This they could afford to do, for the reason that they could make such terms with themselves for storage as they might elect, while charging the regular trade a fixed rate. By this means they were and are enabled to pay more for grain in the West and sell it cheaper than their competitors. The natural tendency of this has been to Centralize the graint rade in the hands ofpeople who are the legal custodians of grain and who should in all decency be de- barred from competing with their customers. What are you going to do about It?“ is the question the elevator proprietors are asking the Board of Trade and their victims.

New Tonk, Dec. 28.—Operations in Wall street were never more completely dominated by the money question than during the week just closed. It was a period of extraordi- nary dullness, even for this proverbially dull season of the year. Outside of perhaps halt a dozen or so of stocks, the transactions were so clearly and unmistakably a mere swapping of jackknives between traders, that the exchanges might as well have been clos altogether, so far as their employment as a medium for business by the public was concerned. The leading professionals did nothing to speak of, probably tor the reason that they are of the opinion that not enough outside interest can be énlisted in the market until after the holidays to warrant them in making an agressive movement. The bulls, even if they felt disposed to inau- urate a campaign, woula hardly dare take the initiative steps with money at 6 er cent one minute and 30 ps cent the next, say nothing of the possibility of manipu- lation that might double upthe latter rate at any moment. Only investors with ample bal- ances and a supreme confidence in the future buy stocks under such circumstances right at the close of the year. On the other had the bears are feeling their way cautiously. The smaller ones are deterred from selling short freely by the activity in the tron industry and the heavy ains reported by various roads West and South. The leaders on that side, while acknowledging these fact- ors, assert that the latter are more than offset by the enormous falling off in the output of anthracite coal and reduced prices which fol low in the wake of a light demand for the product; by the hostile attitude of the granger clement at the West toward the railroads; by the stupendous losses sustained this year by holders of the trusts, which suppress the desire to speculate, and by the fact, as they claim, that the old dividend payers are already selling at prices so high that the inaucement to buy them on the prospect of * revival of business is not commensurate with the risks involved. To-day there was a little more life to the dealings, but the improvement in this respect was at the expense of values. It ap- ears that some of the commission ouses, fearful of a money ‘*squeeze’’ on Monday or Tuesday, advised their customers to sellout. Inthis way quite an amount of long stock came to market and its impression was far greater than the hammering of the bears produced at any other time during the week. Prices yielded all around and the losses made the net decline for the week 1 tos per 9 pa more for No. 2 than we are, of the ia 45 to rough the sea Shipments for week ,1,706,275 bu, a falling off of 307, 000 fous week. lines No, 2 selling as o, Janus to and May to 28%@ 0.

An inquiry for January shipment is beard of, and indicates that the turn of the year will liven trade considerably. Reports of export sales were heard in the ‘‘eorner,’’ and it was stated that Kehior Bros. bad placed one order for 35,000 sks for ship- ment abroad. Mr. Duncan Kehlor admitted baving made a fair sale for export, but would not go beyond that statement.

It is at this caucus the most determined struggie will be made, as the regular ticket is popularly supposed to get the best of the send off. There are now but two candidates in the field for President of the Merchants’ Exchange. They are Mr. Hugh Rogers and Mr. Phil Brockman. Mr. Rogers has the in- dorsement of nost of the prominent men on the floor, and undoubtedly will draw largely on what is known as the outside voters. He retires from the position of Vice- Presiden which in itself is a strong c for him. The fact that Mr. Brockman has neverserved in the directory, and wishes to step, as it were, di- rect from the ranks to the head of the Ex- change, has injured his chances somewhat. There is an unwritten law that Exchange presidents shall have at least been a member of the Board of Directors. Several ears ago they went up step dy step, rom the committees of arbitration to that of appeals, thence to the directory, vice- president to president. No member has as yet been elected President who has not been either a director or vice-president.

P. Williard claim belonging to that company. This is the ore chute spoken of before in the Post - DISPATCH | and was the ob- jective point to which the dit- ferent upraises and winze sunk from the Col. Sellers side, was aimed. It was being worked upon, toa large profit, on both the Sellers and the A.

The connections are all made now, and shipments begun, and the ore is of very excelient grade. Passing down the main incline of the Silver Cord, to what is known as the Imes Station, at which poiptthe bottom level is met, and along that level for 2,800 feet, one cannot but admire the system displayed in the pro- jection of this entire work, the drift being in reality a grand main artery cutting through the lime at a place about half way through it— the estimated thickness at this point being in the neighborhood of 175 feet—and command- ing, from its position, thatentire section of Iron Hill, and greatly facilitates’ the handling ofthe ores from the chutes above it, as the bodies are all connected by wooden chutes through which the ore is dropped to the lower level. THIS DRIFT BEING CONTINUED into the south end of the A. P. Williard, an upraise was made from that point, to reach the chute, which is known as the Smuggler sulphide ore chute, and was carried up some fifty feet before that result was arrived at, and as the upraise wis made purposely very wide, It has been thoroughly planked from top to bottom and now forms a storage bin with * capacity of some 87,350 ounces of silver and 82 ounces of gold. avidity and the ou House —— 7 * ty fest, have reached a of zinc, d as t assured ckett ete Vv quan extending r Not only on large tracts of vacant . work of prospecting being done, but on many home lots in the city are the owners work quietly, being anxious v2 dager what they li pon.

Saturday the argument was resumed and Culver took the position that Sourk’s identification was by no means complete, and that the identity ofthe furniture had not been established. This staggered the other jurors. They had expected trouble, but were not prepared for the position he was taking. Several of the jurors, after a consultation, prepared a series of questions concerning many of Culver’s These questions were put to him in rapid sue- cession.

Various other counts are included in the indictment, such as abolish- 250 tons, the bottom of which opens to enable the cars of the tram to run under it and load.

HIS city is keeping up her wonderful record and the thir- teenth day’s races oc- curred without a drop of rain to lay the dust on the track and the weather wa, as warm as summer. The attendance is showing a constant increase and the books have had a good week. To-day they had a festival, none of the heavily- backed horses win- Ning and not a favor- = ite first. a a — Col. Simmons ar- rived during the week and resumed his place on the stand and to-day the ruling-off com- menced. The first victim was Mattox, who was declared to have pulled Secret inthe sec- ondrace. The otherdaysheran the fastest five furiongs of the meeting and to-day she was nowhere among a lot of crabs. Notwithstanding the constant announce- ment that there are no more horses coming here, five arrived to-day, and Scully has tele- graphed from Lexington for room for fifteen. First race, selling, 5 pounds above scale, beaten, non- winning allowances, six furlongs. Starters, weights, riders and post odds: Balance ‘101, Nignes, 5 to 1; Zeke Hardy 105, Vestal, 15 to 1; Bertha 108, Hollis, 5to1; Cris- peno 108, Garland, 20 to 1; Vattell 108, Jack- son, 6 to 1; Regardless 108, Young, 20 to 1; Harry Ireland 111, Barnes, 6to5; Duhme 117, Abbass, 5to2, Duhme started a favorite but Harry Ireland was booked off the boards and Redon and Vivell quit their books for a while thinking the race a job. They came back later and the judges warned Abbass on Duhme. The horses were kept at the post for a long time by constant breaking, but when they did get off they were in beautiful line. Duhme, as usual, galloped in front and made arunaway race. Theothers closed up before the stretch and caught him in it, and he quit before the wire. Balance took the lead and held it plackily, winning bv a length from Bertha, she a length before Regardless, and all fighting. Harry Ireland, Crispino, Duhme, Zeke Hardy and Vattell finished as named. Time, 1156. Place odds: 2 to 1 Bal- ance, 3to2 Bertha. Second race, selling, for horses not having won twice at this meeting, ten pounds below scale, non-winning allowantes, eleven sixteenths of a mile—Boot Jack 98, Ab- bass, 8tol1; Tommy R. 102, Overton,6 tol; Secret 10%, Adams, 4 to 1; Relievo 109, Mooney, 6to5; Vice Regent 112, Jackson, 8tol; Sam Jones 112, Black, 10 tol. The horses got off atthe rst attempt and Secret and Boot Jack raced in front to the stretch, where Secret pulled up and Boot Jack led until easily | assed by Tommy R., who finished strong. — R. won by a length and a half. Boot Jack was a head before Vice Regent. Secret, Relievo and Sam Jones trailed. Time, 1:09%%. Place odds, 2to 1 Tommy R., 4to5 Boot Jack. Third race, selling, for non-winners at the meeting, beaten allowances, five furlongs— Winnie Davis 97, McCann, 7to2; Little Bess „V, Abbass, 5 to 1; Passion 103, J. Trainor, 4 to 1; Lily Lochiel 108, West, 4 toll; Col. Cox 107, Mattox, 8to 5; Tremont 118, Vail, 80 to 1. Col. Cox was 10 to 1 atthe start, but was backed out of sight, and started a favorite at 8 to 5. Winnie Davis led into the turn, where Col. Cox passed by her so easily and led to the stretch it looked as if the race was over. Win- nie Davis finished strong. Col. Cox swerved when caught and Winnie Davis wom by a length. Col. Cox was three lengths before Passion, with Lily Lochiel, Little Bess and Tremont as named. Time, 1:02. Place odds, 6 to 5 Winnie Davis; Col. Cox barred. Fourth race, handicap, seven furlongs— Cora L. 108, Barnes, 7 to 1, Buckler 100, Ab- bass, 7 to I; Koko 95, Freeman, 2 to I; Recluse 90, Lawrence, 20 to 1; Cashier 90, West, 4 to 1. When Wheelack put out 2 to 1 against Koko Barney Wolf and Viell jumped and laid a hundred atatime, and the public followed, and Koko was backed down to even money. Towards the end of the betting the Cora L. money came pouring in, and she went down from 5 to 2 to favorite, and the old 2 to 1 against Koko was hun up again, so the books closed wit a coupe, for Cashier beat the pair. Recluse and Koko led after a fine start, but after the first quarter went to the front, and was never headed. Koko almost caught him in the first part of theturn and wasshaken off. Cashier was kept moving by Cora L., while Kokocame fast again at the finish, and just did fail to pass the leaders. Cashler won bya short neck, with Cora L. a short head in front of Koko, ali three . Buckler and Re- cluse pulled up. Time, 1:80. Place odds, 6 to 5 Cashier, Cora L. barred. Races Tuesday, and all purses $125. Nashville’s Spring Siakes Issued.

In England his half brother, Royal Hampton, 388 creditably, while another half rotherin this country, Prince Royal, won no less than 337, in bis 2 and 8-year-old form, and his second this year to Exile in the Brooklyn Handicap with 120 aoe up marked him as a horse of much merit. Prince Leopold is nows years old, and is a horse of grand proportions. His com- manding presence and superb blood lines will cause trainers to fight shy of him until his true merits become known. An item has been going the rounds of the oe that Capt. S. 8. Brown, the well-known ttsburg turfman, has purchased 2,000 acres of land in Fayette County, Ky., and that he will remove all his horses to his new place in the spring. Capt. Brown bas purchased a farm in Fayette County, Pa., and not in Ken- tucky. His horses have been in this State for several years past, at Wildwood Farm, in Jef- ferson County, those located there belonging to his breeding stud. His stable next year will be reinforced with a number of of homebred youngsters, several of which are said to be much admired by Trainer Rogers, who is confident his string next year will be fully as good as it was last season. He be- liaves Buddhist, Reporter and Senorita will be even better next year than they were this. Pepper & Relilley have renamed their recent urcbase, the stallion Elias Lawrence, Mel- ourne, after the name conferred on their new etud farm. Elias Lawrence, until this change, bore the name of the first secretary of the Latonia Jockey Club. He is the sire of Nellie J. and Amelia and a full brother to Vol- turno, the latter one of the best race horses of recent years. Elias Lawrence was himself a fine performer and won many good races. The recent purchase of Mr. F. J. Megibben, the imported stallion Mocvasin, is expected daily to arrive in Kentucky, when he will be installed in the stud at Edgewater stock farm. Moccasin, with limited chances in the stud, has sired Disdain, Amazon, Faith, Vampire, etc., and he will doubtiess do well when once fairly established on Kentucky soil. On account of the doings of St. Carlo, Sadistah, St. James and others of the get of A. Belmont’s imported Derby winner, St. Blaine, that horse will be withdrawn from public service next year and used only pri- vately in the stud atthe Nursery stock farm. His owner desires to be very careful with him, as he values him quite highly as a sire. 11 who was recently sold privately to Hough Bros., New York City, for $7,500, proved a most remarkably good investment to Barney Riley, his late owner, who bought him atthe Woodburn spring sale in 1888 for The sons and daughters of Longfellow since the year 1876, when they first appeared on the turf, have won $650,000 in stakes and purses. For several years he has been standing at $500, but is likely to be used only as a private stallion. He was the first horse to run a mile in 1:40 on American soll. Prince Charlie (dead), who stood second on the list of winning sires this year, only cost Mr. Swigert about {#4,000. He was bought at the earnest solicitation of Mr. B. G. Bruce, who argued that although a failure in En- giand he would be a success crossed on American bred mares. Guttenburg Meeting.

By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. 1 EW YORK. Dec. 28. —The talk in sport- ing circles to-day was in regard to the coming Cal McCar- thy - George - Dixon match forthe feath- er- weight champion- ship of the world. When the Horn- bacher-Dixon match was made the under- standing Was that if Dixon defeated the New Yorker Cal Me- Carthy would then Blanchard, Dixon’s manager, is more than jubilant. Joe Early, Cal MoCar- thy’s backer, has promised that the meeting will take place. In allprobability the match will be arranged within afew days, the fight to take place in the spring. Cal McCartty has never yet met bis match. He has won over a score of fights and against good men, too, the best in his class. None of them have ever been able to stand up against the lightning-like punches that Oal has a fashion of planting on an opponent’s jaw. Last nicht's contest proves that Dixon is too quick for Hornbacker. He was all around him and upon him like a flash before the plucky Eugene knew what had struck him. What Dixon will do when pitted against a fast fighter like Cal remains to be seen. Dixon has a marvelous reach and a head so small as to offer but a small target. His style of leaning back when he fights and his excessive length of arm give him an advantage over most fighters. But in Cal MoCarthy he wiil meet a seasond veteran, well used to the tactics of the ring, and one who knows how to take advantage of eye chance offered to make a point. This matc between the Jerseyman and the Boston col- ored boy will be the talk now in pugulistic ciroles until it takes place. There is an ab- sorbing interest to learn if Call McCarthy will at least meet his match. Slavin Gets the Money. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. New York, Dec. 28.—The following special cabie from London has been received at the Police Gazette office: Slavin of Australia has been presented with the whole of the stakes, £1,000, in his matoh with Jem Smith. Slavin’s backers claim that Sullivan must arrange «@ match according to rules cathe oe the prize- ring championship or else forfeit the Police Gazette belt and championship. Smith’s back- ere admit that their man was beaten. Charley Mitchell denies he engaged the roughs. Opin- ions of the Australian’s pugilistic abilities are that he is a champion, and will defeat either Sullivan, Kilrain or Jackson when they meet. Sullivan te Meet Jackson.

Harvard Finding Reasons for Continued Defeatse—General Athletic News. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. Boston, Mass., Dec. 28. ROMINENT Harvard Se graduates in inter- views to-day tell why 1 they think Harvard ie doesn’t defeat Yale in athietic sport. Col. Bill Bancroft, ex-cap- tain and later coach of the crew, says: Some of the reasons I would assign are the following: Other col- leges. have well-de- fined, old-established methods in training and actual work, and Harvard bas none. The faculty, for rea- sons the right or wrong of which I will not discuss, has interfered with athletics. Thie has had a very bad effect. An athlete is not made so much of by his undergraduates in Harvard as de la in other colleges. They do not appoint him to high-class positions or elsewhere as they do popular men, society leaders and others. The trouble is, in the first place, that students ds a body do not en. courage them to go through the hardships of training and the self-sacrifice which training necessitates by rewarding them with the highest honors, Next, I would place the in- crease of clubs and the extravagant forms of luxury in which many students at Harvard live comparatively a modern feature and entirely unknown there fifteen years ago. The highest honors were then paid to the men who worked for the honor of the University, and the roll of names on the crews and teams contained the names of our best families, boys who have centuries of good blood back of them, and who fought tothe death in everything they undertook. And they swept everything before them, too. * was a lasting disgrace to be defeated by ale.’ R. O. Watson, the inventor of the Watson stroke, said: .‘‘I don’t know of any reason why Harvard gets beaten except that the other fellows are better men. Francis Peabody, a leading oarsman while at Harvard, sald: There is no general inter- est at Harvard in athietics. The students don’t admit athletes to high social standing. The men inthe clubs think that When they have given their money for the support of athletics they have done their full duty. They regard the athletes then as hired workmen and their social inferiors.’’ An Unfinished Wrestling Match, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. MICHIGAN City, Ind., Dec. 28.—Bert Schel- ler of Beloit, Wis., champion wrestier of the Northwest, and A. F. Kasten, an all-around athlete of Kansas Oity, contested their wrest- ling match on the night of December 11. They wrestied according to catch-as-catch-can rules, two points down, best three out of five falls. Kasten won two falls and Scheller one. The contest lasted for four hours, and within two minutes of the Sunday hour, when the match was necessarily stopped. Ii was then decided that the two concluding bouts should be wrestied at another time. The match last night was for this purpose. Owing to the unexpected absence of a competent reféree a noviceof this city was appointed. He decided the firet bout in favor of Scheller amid the disapproval of a vast majority of the pes ag Kasten then refused to wrestle the other bout. Foot-Ball Games To-Day.

For several years it has been the custom o a number of local riders to ride to Ballwifi on the evening of December 31 and to arrange the time of their departure so that they would arrive on the morning of January 1. The honor of being the first cyclist to register on New Year’s morning has been severely contested on several occasions and has re- sulted in spirited rivairy between some of the best riders of tne city. Last year the pro- prietor of the hotel, following the example of the Eastern hotels, offered a bottie of wine anda dinner to the successful participant, which added all the more interest to the affair. This year the same inducement holds good,and other prizes will be given to the second and third men. To guard against any imposition, the riders who wish to compete for the prizes this year will not be allowed to start before 10:30 p. m., January 31, from the Missouri Club-house, on Cardinal avenue, and they will be given the word by Chief Consul Holm. In addition to the above, intending partici- anis must send their names and addresses to ice-Consul A. L. Jordan before Tuesday morning, and be will lesue cards authorizing them to start, and the cards must be shown to the starter. If the present weather continues, it is safe to say that fully 1 wheelmen will take part, and they will be bandicapped commensurate with their speed. Among those who will start are: J. R. Pomarede, A. G. Harding, G. E. Tivy, Richard Hurck and E. N. Sanders. Cycling Chat. No runs have been called for to-day. Morgan seems to have made a success of his venture at Portiand, Ore. The attendance at the clubs during the week on account O. W. Barstow, Jr., has local consul of the L. A. Louis. It is said that Buffalo will have a new bicycle track next season, and will give a grand tournament. Rumor has it that W. A. IIlston, the crack English amateur, intende to retire from the track on account of business. R. M. Stebel, local Consul of the L. A. W. at Kansas City, is in town stopping with friends. He will visit the clubs during the week. Missouri’s L. A. W. membership is slowly forging ahead and now numbers 327. This is — 2 of nearly 25 per cent since Septem- er 1. B. F. McDaniel of the Pennsy'vania Club is to receive a gold watch for breaking the State record for twenty-four hours’ road-riding, he having covered 211% miles. The Rhode Island division of the League of American Wheelmen has issued a memorial to the people of their State, in the form of a neat pamphlet, asking for better roads. The Eastern racing circult scheme which was to have included Buffalo, Cleveland and other cities, has been abandoned as the prime mover of the affair, H. E. Dueker, has gone into other business. The Cyclists’ Union of Long Island has dis- banded. The $250 in the treasury will be divided among the members, This is the last of the organization that promised to wipe out the L. A. W. at Brooklyn. EK. C. Klipstein led the Missouri Club’s gym- nasium classes last Monday evening and introduced several new features which had been adopted by the Springfield (Mass.) gym- nasium, of Which he fs a prominent member. A little exercise once or twice a week in the winter does a man far more good for the next season’s riding than idling through the winter months. It is a mistake to strain your muscles out part of the year and let them rust through the other. The English cycling * publish each week the exact time at which lamps must be lighted by riders of bicycles or tricycles. There isalaw compelling all wheelmen to ride with lanterns after suaodown, which is strictly enforced. Itcan be authoritatively stated that E. Bar- nard, St. Louis’ fastest racing man, will again be seen on the path next season. He is now making arrangements to attend all the tour- naments, and will doubtiess show a great im- provement over last year. Vice-President Sanders has had an offer made him to havethe local bicycle track covéred with crushed cinders. The matter will be laid before the stockholders at their meeting next month, and, if not too expensive, will proba- bly receive favorable action. ' The League of American Wheelmen is well ahead of ite membership of a year ago. This is largely due to improved organization and better officers. The League never made more apparentthe need of its existence and its value to members than during the present year. * President Chauvenet of the Missouris has appointed his committees for the year, and the selections made are said to be good ones. The club will shortly inaugurate a series of smokers and athietic entertainments which promise to be very popular and add greatly to the list of members. Coningsby had hard luck in his attempts to try for the Eagle Rock record. His last at- tempt was made on December 8 in threatening weather on slippery ground. He made two trips and was well along on.the third when the rear stay of his safety cracked close to the frame and he was compelied to abandon the undertaking, Says the American Athlete Whenever an En- glish cycler comes to America one of the first things that strikes his notice is the olub life of this country. Mr. Frederick Price, a member of the Ripley Road Club of England, who was in Philadeiphiaon a visit, said that the social aspects and club life of the cycling world in America was far ahead of what those phases of wheel life are in England. Mr. James T. Joslin of Schenectady, a com- poke of Prof. Richardson during his recent icycle tour in Europe, remained abroad longer than the rest of the party and made a trip down the Rhine and across Holland. The wheeling, he found, averaged better all the way after he bad left the German frontier than he bad found it the whole trip before, and continued 80 all the way through to Rotter- dam. All the roads in Holland are paved with brick, seton edge, but they are laid so evenly and with so true a surface that they ride as smooth as a floor. He was able to make sixty and seventy miles a day on them frequently. There never has been an election for the chief office in the gift of the League of Amer- ican Wheelmen when there was so much dis- cussion so far ahead of the convention as this year. There seems ao reason to doubt, says the Boston Herald, that the next incumbent will be James R. Dunn of Massilon,O. He will have the thorough support of the West s been slight he holidays. eon appointed W. for est St. be unanimous in his favor. The Vice-Presi- dent is sure to be Dr. Emery of Boston. He has done splendid work forthe League, and no Ohlef Consul has ‘tried harder or achieved better results. A slender, athletic little woman, clad in green, with a felt cap on ber head, sat on the high saddle of a safety bicycie. To the steel rod which connected the handie-bar of the machine with the tront wheel was fastened a little but strong seat, It was quite narrow— just wide enough fo hold a little child of per- haps 8 years of age—who was occu g it.

Why the Spanish Minister Absented Him- self From Dinner at Delmonico’s. NEW YoOrK, Dec. 28.—The absence of the Spanish Minister from the recent sumptuous banquet given here at Delmonico’s by the Spanish-American Commercial Union, an association of wealthy merchants doing busi- ness with the Spanish Americas, was much commented upon at the time. When it was learned to-day that J. M. Ceballos, holding large tobacco contracts with the Spanish Governments, first President of the Commercial Union, had resigned and was not present at the banquet, the rumor spread that he was forced to do so by the Spanish Government. Merchants generally are loath to express themselves, fearing it would im- peril their business interests, but the opinion was that the Minister’s absence and Cebalios’ resignation are evidences of Spain’s hostile attitude towards the Pan-American Confer- ence. R. A. OC. Smith, chairman of the committee on banquet, stated that the Spanish Minister had not answered the invitation and had on — occasions slighted the Commercial nion. Ceballos refused to say whether he was forced to resign the presidency or not. What the Minister Says. WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 28.—The Spanish Minister was at dinner when called upon this evening, In reply to written questions as to his having absented himself from the Pan- American Banquet in New York he said: **Oertainly Ireplied to the invitation. It is may general custom sotodo. The pressure of official business here compelled my return on the day of the banqguet.’’ AE SIGNED THE BILL. Mayer Noonan Affixes His Signature te the Tire Ordinance. Mayor Noonan yesterday signed the bill regulating the width of wagon tires to be used in this city and the extra taxes to be assessed for violation of the ordinance. The bill created a great deal of interest among the wagon makers generally when it first came up, because it was not drawn up accord- ing to modern ideas of wagon architecture, the basis for the width of the tires be- used to strongly objected to by the wagonmakers, and 80 the ordinance was modified and the size of the tires adjusted in proportion to the diameter of the axles of the vehicles. A delegation of wagonmakers waited upon the Mayor yesterday with the intention of asking him to sign the bill. The Mayor asked if the bill was all right and they replied itwas. He then informed them that he had already made up his mind to sign it so that no arguments were necessary and that the delegation might rest easy with the knowledge that the bill would become a law.

MAUD HOWE GIVES SOME HINTS TO LOVERS AND THEIR LASSIES. Women Rarely Deceived by Flirtations— Girls Should Not Wear Their Hearts Upon Their Sleeves—A Pilea for Frank- ness in Girle—Why Long Engagements Should Be Avoided. [Written for the SUNDAY POS8T-DISPATCH. ! [Copyright,] HE advice of Solon to a |. young girl who is pass- ig through the fairy- U land of courtship would Reece a SS — ** * lad to talk with those most delightful of peo- ple—lovers—I will very ; ‘| dimdently give one or J p ‘two hints which have occurred to me as of possible value to some girl whose lover happens to be away on journey, and who may be willing to pass the time which she would prefer to pass in his society in reading these modest suggestions. To such a one I would say, let frankness and reserve be your two watch words. Courtship is the gay novitiate to sober mar- riage, but it must be always remembered that it is a testing of each other’s natures, & trial of characters, which sometimes at the last moment do not stand the test, are proven to be unbiendable, and the marriage never takes place. Reserve in demeanor 18, therefore, always to be borne in mind. There is so much of what is called inno- cent flirtation“ between young people in this country, that an unsophisticated girl thrown in the society of a young man given to paying attentions without laten tions to the most at- tractive young girl on the social horizon, may sometimes be deceived by such a light swain, and mistake for SERIOUS COURTSHIP what is only meant for a pleasant passing of the time. Ithink this is not often the case, for a woman’s instinct almost infallibly tells her with what end a man persistently seeks her society; still, it does sometimes happen that avery young girl fancies she is being courted, when, in point of fact, she is only being trified with. It is as well for a girl to bear this fact in mind, and not to wear her heart upon her sleeve. Pursuit is a large part of the pleasure of the chase, and the thing that has cost us the greatest effort to secure is valued ac- cordingly. Until you have real reason to believe that yourlove is being sought, no matter how much you may care for aman, do not let him know it. If herealiv wants your love, be will not fear to risk a refusal. The man who kee his intentions to you a secret, who Is not will- ing that the whole world should know he is our suitor, does not deserve to win you. If is vanity is stronger than his love let him pass by; he is no true lover. Orlando wanted all the dwellers in the forest of Arden to know the secret of his love to Rosalind, so he bung verses on the trees ofthe wood praising her virtues and beauty; every woman prefers an honest Orlando who, whether his love is crowned with happiness or not, is willing all the world should know that he loves her and has chosen her for his own. The books of etiquette give rules of behavior for lovers which may be of use to some peo- ple; but the best rule is in your own finer in- stinct. So much for reserve. Now for frankness. If you are going to MARRY FOR LOVE, for the sake of your future 8 de frank with your suitor and with your be- trothed. If you are on the — of marrying from any other motive—ambDition, pique, fear an old maid, or anxiety to provide with a home, you na no have no advice to give you, s adviceto those about to get married, ‘‘Don’t.’’ This lecture is only for true lovers, to no others doth it apply. Perfect love casteth out fear. If you havea of — ourself rther, for I except Punch’ dispute, do not conceal it for he will be better able to fo later. Ot course ought to be, he knows Very Fa that s have prez. of faults. If they did not would they be fit mates for him and his kin forsooth?

Pallen Tells How to Rest Your Over- worked Brain. [Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATOR. } Modern physiological research proclaims sleep to be the result of a certain amount of blood being abstracted from the brain, to lie ulescent, if not dormant, in certain channels and vessels, which during the waking period are apparently empty, or at least very flabby and ina condition, as it were, of negation. In proof of this view it is a well-known fact that good, healthy, restful sleep rarely if ever takes place when the head 18 full of blood. Continuous prevention or any interference with sieep is the most far-reaching damage producer to the humantsystem. Comfort and contentment are obliterated. Theirattendant substitutes are nervous irritability, mental anxiety, which sooner or later, according to the resistance power ofthe Individual, become idiocy, mania or death, preceded by a paintul physical collapse. At this moment just insomniacs there are alone is unknown, but the fact that at least ten ner cent of Wall street operators are wretched sleepers, and 6 per cent more are pronounced victims of insomnia, who never sleep except under exhaustion or from the benumbing influence of some hypnotic—it may be chlorai, opium, alcohol, sultonal or bromides. These used in ever increasing quantities to produce artificial sleep must end by the destruction of intellectuality. This is brought about by a constant con- traction of the blood vessels supplying the brain structure, because these hypnotic drugs primarily act upon the great nervous centers whence arise those nerves distributed to alithe blood vessels which are known as the vaso-motor nerves, or governing nerves. Under the influence of such drugs these nerves are either paralyzed or over-excited, and they keep up a constant diminu- tion of the caliber of the blood ves- sels, wherefore the wholesome supply of nutrient blood is kept from the brain, which temporarily promote sleep, but ultimately de- stroy it. What is the safe remedy for sleep- leseness? What can be done to cure Insomnia? In these two leading questions the entire sub- ject is considered. Thousands of insomniacs can trace their troubles to causes readily re- mediable in the 3 The absence of correlation between the brain andthe stomach must be known as a prime factor in preventing sleep. The muscle- brawn laborer rests infinitely better when he seeks his sleep with a stomach comparatively * with him sleep is that oblivion which his sliow-acting brain awards the work- strained muscles. The brain worker proper— students, professional men and bullders of fortune rarely sleeps soundly and regularly. To such insumniacse I say, study your stow- ache and keep them comparatively full for two purposes. First, tocoax the blood cur- rent away from a flaccid lot of blood vessels ramifying through every nook and corner of your brain, which is tho active and loaded with unnatural fullness. Secondly, the stom- ach must contain food in order to keep up a steady supply of that always in demand pab- vlum necessary to healthful nutrition, without which po organ can thoroughly do its allotted work. The brain worker must always woo sleep with a full stomach, warm feet, cool head and quiet heart’s action. But what if there is a tendency to an epidemic of insomnia as the result of that dreadful wave of the higher education of our boys and giris, — — of nervous parents, inheriting their debilitated physical constitutions, with a co - added attenuated higher intellectuality, undoubtedly now being made manifest as our young people enter adult life? f we but recall the beginning ot the up- ward wave of intellectual life as it existed twenty years ago and contrast it with the present concert- pitched tones of educational life, we may possibly check these sleepless nights and the early physical decay evidenced by athousandfold increase in neuraigias, a vast amount of ever-aggregating eve disease, or rather a tallure in eye accommodation, b urging the educators to cease their so called psychical efforts, not because our youth cannot absorb every subject now taught, but simply because it is done. This intellectuality and psychical, advancement of the age are dangerous beyond anticipation. The soll is too fallow. It mußt be permitted to lie Idle, else the next two decades will wit- ness a state of affairs much more, dangerous because much more artificially cualtivated— undoubted hot-house raised intellects of brilliant color but feeble vitality. The time has come to cry a halt, otherwise this excessive culture will permeate the age and weaken such resistance power as is yet abiding in our people. Just at this momenta wave of disease, the grippe or influenza, is traveling around the world. We must study it to avoid it. If such pbysical results obtain through atmospheric inffüences we can readily comprehend, because we see the results, how a too frd@gile intellectuality breaks under a condition, as it were, of stereotyping, which should never show one single flaw under proper surroundings.

BRONSON HOWARD TELLS HOW IT {SHOULD BE DONE He Advises English and American Play- wrigh sto Study the French Schoo!—The Effect of Modern Stage Realism— Holding Up the Mirror—Where the Tendency of Stage Realism Should Lead. [Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Disrarcn.! [Copyrighted. } | LTHOUGH I am es- sentially a comedy writer,my first work was a dramatization of the saddest of books—Victor Hu- go's Fantine in Les Meserables. It was played by a local stook company in 1864 at my native place, Detroit. Mich. And here let me say at once. as I have been asked to write on the subject of dramatic construction, that the young play- wright can study no detter model than Victor Hugo. Why? Because few men of modern times. pos- sessed a mind so imbued with the dramatic instinct. Indeed, the dramatists of both England and America can find no more profit- able study than the wonderful promoter of dramatic construction in France during the last half century. Before that time the French stage was given up almost entirely to the classicists and academes. It is needless to re- hearse their names, for they are found in col- lege text books, but they were not the names by which to conjure popular sympathy or reach the public heart. Victor Hugo, by the production of ‘‘Hernan!,’’ made the dramatic revolution against this rigid classicisms suc- cessful. The critics were at first puzzied, and the public amazed by his audacity, but,never- theless , thé classic and heroic drama was overturned and the drama of romanticism took ita place. The success of ‘‘Hernani’’ was the victory of the living drama over those who clung to the traditions of A DEAD DRAMA. At a dinner gh, at the Stanley Club at Paris, in 1884, [had been specially invited as an American dramatist and, if my memory serves me, during the speech I was called upon to make I spoke as follows: In coming to Paris I came to the Mecca of my art, and feel the same reverence for the magnificent 7 W Yi, as er Weser 1 yuan if .* at ' Bronson Howard at His Desk. system of construction evolved here by French dramatists in late years that a Mussulman would feel in going to Mecca itself. I meant every word I uttered. A study of French construction shows a rigid application of modern thought to the true motives of characters. «The modern French dramatist treats his characters with as much precision as a scientifiC man treats a phase of natural history. There is a raison d’etre, a motive for every action. In the earlier scenes of a play there may, perhaps, be some comparatively timid which the spectators may not with any special attention, before the play is ended he will find that this action, timid as it may have appeared to him at the moment, Will form an essentlal feature in the development ofthe story. It is here that the French dramatist is facilis princeps. He does nothing without a motive, aud this mo- tive is utilized in such a manner that makes it indispensable in the development ot the con- struction and character. In my Own work, as a disciple of the French school, Ihave essayed to analyze character after those methods. Indeed, character has been with me a study, andI have done my utmost to train myself to theanalyzation of motives and their customs. The public must judge of my success ; but whatever the verdict may be on my personal work, I am individ- ually confident that the French school is the only true schoo! of dramatic writing at the present day. It should be noted that in the developmen of this school by THE FRENCH DRAMATISTS. they have educated their public to appreciate and enjoy this evolution of human motives without reference to the sad or joyous ending of the play. In short, it is not found neces- sary inthe French drama to bring down the final curtain amid the pealing of marriage bells. On the contrary, in England or Amer- ica, the dramatist, as yet, must desert his logical conclusion, Or else must confine him- seit toa limited range of subjects in order to have happy denouements, and the traditional weddings to end his plays. N A marked example of this was Charlef Reade’s adaptation of Zola’s ‘‘L’Assoms moir’’ tothe English stage, under the title o- Drink.“ The Freuch author brought hi- people to the misery and death the awful subs ject demanded. This would never have done for our English dramatization, however, and as Mr. Reade was compelled to give his play a happy ending, the curtain finally dropped — 35 heroine about to marry her third hus- an Iam not quite sure, but it seems to me that American audiences would not be reconciled — this means of avoiding a logical conclu- sion. * a battle may de told on the stage without a soldier in the presence of the audience and without the fusillades of musketry that burned down the old Bowery Theater, when ‘*‘Put- nam’’ was being played there in the infancy ofthe American drama; when Kirby used to roll himself in the stars and stripes and die two or three timesin the course of the night, to the intense delight of the boys in the pit. Audiences to-day do not n to have every- thing labeled. They think for themselves; the task of the dramatist is to lead their thoughts into the channels toward which he wishes to direct them; and from a construc- tional point of view all the accessories of the modern stage are of use to the dramatist simply so far as he can avall himeelt of them to affect the imagination of bis audience. On the Chinese stage, for instance, a block of wood represents a pig. and, so far as the imagination of the audience is concerned, it does not make any difference whether the dramatist uses a pig or a block of wood, It must be conceded that the effect of a rain storm is much more clearly om gs upon the imagination of an audience by the use of the old-fashioned silk cylinder behind the scenes than by a sprinkling of real water from the flles. I have tried them both. He was a wise manager in hie generation, who, when the chopped white paper used in an imitation snow storm had given out, ordered his prop- erty man to ‘*'sNOW BROWN.’’ He knew that imagination had more to do with the success of the scene than the actual color of the inch square paper flakes.

It seems to me that the tendency of stare realism sbouild be rather lu the realism of the characters than of the accessories which, as a rule, detract from rather than add to the im- pression intended to be produced. And this realism, asl have endeavored to poiat out, isin the evolution of the motives of the va- rious characters represented. The reason of the failure of so many modern comedies, so- called, ts their lack of motive. In real life all our actions are guided by some motive power. From the man who tries to rule Wall street to the man who tries to rule a ward caucus or his own wife there is not one who has not some motive, some ob- jective point in view. The great poet bas told us that it is the mils - sion of the stage to hold the mirror up to nature. Surely this cannot be done until we find the nature to bold it up to. When this is sought earnestly and intelligently, then will be given forth a reflection which the worid must admire, for it will be the reflection of truth. BRONSON HOWARD. THE HYDRAULIC TOP. An Ingenious Toy That Was First shown at the Paris Exhibition. The gyroscope and the humming and chameleon tops are the best known applica- tlous of the live power of systems in rotation, and, up torecent years, scarcely any others have been kgnown; but mechanical play- things have become the fashion, and inveant- ors have therefore set their wits to work to vary the forms and arrangements of them ad The Hydraulic Top. infinitum. The locomotive, the waltzers, etc., are the recent varieties most appreciated by children.

Davis * out the hydraulic or water-jet top, which was exhibited in the English section of the Paris Exposition and which the accom- panying figure represents in section, in order to allow its principle to be understood, and in perspective, in order to show its operation. The external aspect of the hydraulic top is not very different from that of the humming chameleon, and other tops. A disk, A, of an alloy of lead, is.set in rapid rotation by means ofacord wound around the lower part, as in the majority of tops. When the proper velocity is obtained, the top is placed in a deep dieb filled with water to the height of about half an inch.

I wasonthefirst watch and down in the furnace hold, at the very bottom of the vessel, surrounded by big heaps of coal, my work was to get the black diamond’’ out of the bunkers and furnish it to the stokers. And it was hot.

By the advice of my friend,the chief engineer, I had laid in a supply of plug tobacco and it being quickly known thatI was under his protection, a great double-fisted stoker volunteered to help me in what was al- most child’s play to him, giad to get compen- sated with a cut or two of the seductive Vir- ginialeaf, We were ON WATCH FOUR HOURS, and off eight hours, and gladly at the stroke of the bell which ended our watch did I climb up the forty feet of iron ladders to the deck.

Special Correspondence of SUNDAY Posr-Dreraren. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 26. SVERY¥ one of the noted houses of Washington will be thrown open next week. On the ist of January the pompous Washington butler will come out in his giorious livery, and for three months there will be nothing but receptions, teas, call - ing and dinner-giy- ing. Year by year the number of states- men owning houses in Washington in- ereases. During the present season only 125 Representatives will live at hotels,and there are now only seventeen hotel Senators. Senators Berry of Arkansas and Ransom of North Carolina are stopping at the Metro- politan, Frve is at the Hamilton, and Blodgett and pious oid Joe Brown of Georgia are at the National. Brown bas the rooms which were occupied for years by Henry Clay and Alexander H. Stephens. He has lived for the past few years in the Northwest, but he pre- fers to go back to bis old historic quarters in this hotel. Room and board at the National and Metropolitan Hotels cost from $50 per month upwards per person, and the Metro- politan, National and Hamilton Hotels, are among the good, but not dear hotels of Wash- ington. It costs more at the hotels nearer the White House, and Frank Hiscock, Gil Pierce, Platt of Connecticut, Washburn of Minnesota and Squire of Washington, who are at the Arling- ton, bave board bills which run well up into the hundreds of dollars a month. Frank His- cock rattles around in the rooms which were long filled with the greatness of Charles mner, and his front windows look out upon the White House toward — D __—- etry 4 A oe a * e*een * 4 . 1 L 71 * „ * — ; Castle Henderson. which his eyes are ambitiously turned, Senator Farwell lives in Morton’s big flat, the Shoreham, where the cheapest quarters are $1,200 a year,while Dixon of Rhode Island stops at the Arno Flat on Sixteenth street and Pad- dock of Nebraska has his old quarters at the Portland just opposite Schenck's residence, and Bates of Tennessee and Joe Blackburn of Kentucky have comfortable quarters at the Ebbitt House. Nearly allthe Senators keep house. Sena- tor Hearst is boarding at Welckers’, but he has bought the big brick house near Blaine’s, which Secretary Fairchiid occupied last year, and he ie building a big addition to it. Mrs. Hearst is one of the most noted entertainers of Washington, and neither expense nor care is being spared inthe making of her housea beautiful one. Senator Sawyer, who has for years lived in the house which Jefferson Davis occupied when he was here in Wash- ington, has stopped paying rent and has butt a MAGNIFICENT BROWN STONE MANSION within a stone’s throw of Dupont Circle. It is worth at least $80,000 and Sawyer’s millions will keep it in fine style, There are fine bouses all around it. Ina block near by Sen- ator Edmunds hides his exclusiveness in his lron-barred Dungeon Keep. His houseisa red pressed brick with a copper-plated bay- window which has rivets as big und aga trade dollar. Edmund’s office is on the ground floor near the butler’s pantry, and his libr and parlors are above. e house is wort about $50,000, and the lot on which it ig built cost the Senator $14,000 some years 0. Just above it is Blaine’s barn-Ike palace, for which the rich retired merchant, Mr, Leite pays him $11,000a year and does not use i more than four months out of the twelve. Mr. Leiter is here this winter, and his family are making money fly. Across the street from this is Senator Stewart’s castie, for which the Ohinese Legation pay him a rent of $10,000 a year, and which the Nevada Senator saya he owns but cannot afford to live in. lunder- stand that he would like to sell it, and that his price is $125,000 cash.

It is one of the MOST FASHIONABLE STREETS of Washington and lots upon it need a carpet of bank notes in order pay the sum de- manded for them. At the head it ex-Sen- ator Henderson of St. Louis has built a grund brown stone castle and this is about ready for coon pener- It has turrets and towers, bal- coniés and cosy nooks and it must have cost in the neighborhood of 6100, 000 to bulid it, It has a large lot about it on the side of the hill and its windows give aview of all of Wash- ington and miles of the Potomac Valley. Just above it ig Joaquin Miller’s log cabin and within a short distance of it, nearer the White House, is the modest brick which Breckenridge of Ken- tucky has rented for a term of years. On the corner of Sixteenth Teller is living in T. C. Crawford’s house for which he pays about $100 a month, and on the corner of Sixteenth and K, ina big’ red brick nicely furnished lives Secretary. Evarts. Evarts was a greut entertainer while he was Secretary of State, and it is said he spent $30, - 000 more than his salary during Hayes’ admin- No.1. Wanamaker ( Whitney). No. 2. Noble (Stanton). No. 3. Cameron (Ogle- Tayloe). 4. Blaine (Seward). istration. Senntor Wolcott lived in modest quarters near by and further down stillon the corner of Sixteenth and H, is the beautiful brick mansion of John Hay, Lincoln’s biogra- pher which stands on the ground which cost him $6 a square footand which could not be now got for $10. Mrs. Zach Chandler has just bought a big lot on Sixteenth street, opposite the Evarts mansion, and she will probably build a house here asa residence for herself and her son-in-law, Senator Hale of Maine. A number of the Senators live in historic quarters. Senator Cameron paid $67,000 some years ago for the old Ogle Tayloe mansion on Lafayette Square. It isa three-story brick of dirty yellow with an iron portico running along the seeund-story above an English basement. Thefront door is painted olive green and the lower story contains the office of the Senator and his reception room. The parlors are on the second floor and the house is nicely furnished. Inthis house have been entertained all of the Presidents since Andrew Jackson, and Winfield Scott and Martin Van Buren have often put their legs under the mabogany in its dining-room. One day when Gen. Scott was dining here a violent bailstorm occurred, smashing the windows and bring- ing down lumps of ice the size of hickory nuts. These hailstones were brought into the table and Scott,as he dropped one of them into his winegiass said: Ladies we will cool our champagne with celestial ice.’’ Just below this house of Cameron’s is the home of Secretary Blaine. He rents the house, but he has refurnished and repainted it. You enter the ground floor from the street through an olive green doorway and ree find the par- lorson the second floor. The drawing room is furnished in salmon tint and the woodwork and mantels are of pearl white. The dining room is on the ground floorand its walis are hung with CRIMSON TAPESTRY and the chairs are upholstered in red leather. The sideboard is ot aid oak and the whole house is adorned with the pictures.and bric-a- brac which Secretary Blaine picked up in Europe. This house and lot is worth now atleast $100,000 and the lot would bring $50,000 under the hammer. Still it was once sold fora jackass and it was Henry Clay who sold it. It is just across the street from the White House and Clay had otten refused to sell it. One day, however, old Commodore Rogers came home from the Mediterranean with his naval vessel full of live stock, which he picked up abroad. One of Clay’s hobbies was stock farming, and Royers’ cargo included one fine Andalusian jackass. Clay saw it and wanted it. The Commodore refused to sell, but at last said laughingly: Lou can have him for your lot opposite the White House. „Done, said Clay, and the animal was shipped off to Kentucky. Commodors Rogers built a big four-story brick on the ground and this brick has been the scene of many a Wash ington festivity. In it Blaine will entertain this winterand in it Seward dined the dip- lomats when he was Secretary of State. The Wannamaker front door is also an his toric one and this mansion has been a Cabinet house for a number of administrations. It was in it that President Arthur called on Tillie Frelinghuysen and gave rise to the report that there was to be soon a marriage in the White House, It was in this that Mrs. Whitney held her grand receptions and the gorgeous paint- ings of her ball-room have given place to the works ofart purchased by the Postmaster- General. This house will be open during the coming season, and it has been so refurnished that it will be grander than ever. The statesman who calls on Secret Noble trots up the same stepsthat Edwin M. Stanton used to mount every day when he came home from the War Department, and Stanton’s house has the same flat three-story front and Senator Edmunds’ Doorway. the same unconventional entrance that it had when he occupied it. It now belongs to Sena- ator Sherman, who bought it a few months ago for $35,000, and who has since spent some- thing like $10, 000 in putting itin order. It was a boarding-house last season, and Senator Hoar lived in it. Sherman has three houses in the same block, and the trio must be worth somewhere between $150,000 ,000. He bought the first when rankllin Square ad no _ fence around it, and was used as a ball ground and « cow pasturage. Fashionable Washington was then near the Capito] and Mrs. Sherman did not like the idea of movi so far out of the world. Within a few years, however to the northwest came and now the residence is just on the edge ofthe fashionable ia on the second floor and you find him — . — ea after 7 o’clock when he is not out SENATOR INGALLS has just changed his quarters and he will live isis the beautiful home of the late Sen- and PF streets Senator | he 1d Capitol r silat ane ip 2 ang Senne aR yg ye e k. n 8 Sante Hill, and he is sow 188. vlok within it.

Rea- ' parlors are very plain but comfortable he Senator does his work in a little office on the second floor with his wife as an assistant. Scnator Eustis of Loulsiana has bought a house on Rhode Island avenue. It is a brick, with a dig library in one of its wings. Vance of North Ogrolina owns a very pretty house on Massachusetts avenue, and Gen. Walthall, who takes La- mar’s place inthe Senate, is keeping house ou Ruode Island avefiue, just opposite the big mansion which was presented to Gen. Sheri- dan and lin which Mrs. Sheridan is now liv- ing. Senator Waithall has a very pretty E and his accomplished wife ig with m. Matt Quay keeps house on I street, beyond Wanamatker’s. Piumb of Kansas boards. Henry B. Payne occupies a rented house on Vermont avenue, and just next to him Allison of Iowa lives in the honse which came to him through the death of his wife. Senator Mitehell of Oregon has rented a fine mansion on Connecticut avenue, and vores is tiving in his old quarters near the White House. an- derson of Nebraska bas rented the big double brick which Farwell of Chicago had last sea- son, He has taken it for a term of years and bas furnished it TO THE QUEEN'S TASTE. Heretofore he bad lived in fats and he now has one of the best houses in Washington and in the most fashionable part of the city. Just above him are two fine white stone houses which belong to Congressman Bayne of Pitts- burg. These houses are worth about $30,000 apiece and Tom Bayne lives in the bigger of them, while the smaller is rented to Gen. Anson G. McCook of New York. Senator Hoar of Massachusetts is living near the White House.

Hansborough of Dakota is at the Riggs, and Allen of the State of Wash- ington lives with his wife in Grant Place, ne ar the Interior Department, in order that he may the better attend to the land claims of his constituents. John T. Cain of Utah is trying the country air of Takoma Park, and Fred DuBolise is living on Thirteenth street not far from the White House. Judge Seney of Obio is plotting how to catch the Senator- ship at the Riggs, and Judge Kelley, the father of the House, has a room at the same hotel, the walls of which are bung with pict- ures of Lincoin and Stanton, George Dorsey of Nebraska is at the Portland. Dalzell of — Mam 4. Senator Sawyer’s Chateau. Pittsburg has afine house on the corner of Massachusetts avenue, near Morton, and George Barnes of Georgia, the fattest man in Congress, is a walking advertisement for the Metropolitan Hotel. Thaddeus Stevens’ house on Capitol Hill now belongs to William Walter Phelps. Houck of Tennessee has taken quarters in it and he says he hopes that he will get some of Stevens’ inspiration from him. He has one attribute of Stevens’ character already, and that is in his always being different from the other fellows. This attribute recalls the bon mot made as to Thad Stevens’ condition in a future state. The story of his enemies was that when he called upon Pluto and asked for his seat in the as- sembly of the regions below that his Satanic Majesty ag agg A told him that there was no seat for him, and kicking alittle brimstone out of the fire with his cloven hoof he said: Here, Mr. Stevens, take this and go off and make a little hell of your own.

The Chinese language, as the natives use it, bas great force, fluency and direction. It is practical, as the nation is practical, and those who use itare too independent to abandon the speech and writing handed down to them through so long a line of ancestors. It will be made the medium of instruction in science and is very suitable for becoming s. They have contractions for all their characters which foreign students do not trouble them- selves to learn, but the use of which, in fact. qualifies the Chinese to become shorthand reporters of speecnes in their own language. hey do not practice speech-making, but if they did and the native newspapers formed a staff of shorthand reporters they would not need to learn any foreign system. They can report quite fast enough themselves with a littie practice,and they write the contractions with wonderful quickness. Their hand mus- cles are pliable, their fingers small, and the writing - brush they employ is an instrument superior to the steel pen or the quill. The scribes at an imperial audience probably write all or nearly all that ie said. ri who are paid by the pee get through a amount of copyingin a very shorttime.

[Copyright 1889.1 AM going to come out stronger for temper- ance hereafter than 1 have before. Hereto- fore I have been liberal regarding sumptuary legislation. The past yearl have been try- ing to build up my health by means of mild malt beverages at meal time. This worked well at home, but not so well on the road. When a man is at home he can eat as many Meals a day as he chooses, taking ale or porter along with his meals, but when he goes away he has to con- form to striot rules. That is not all. Hotels, as the towns diminish in size, get more aston- jshed as you order ale with your dinner, until it is almost like breaking into a private house and having several orgies. Of course my physician had told me to use ale or porter along with meals and that it would give me color and strength, appetite and good blood. So I tried it. At the Tootwiler House I asked the waiter if I could have a glass of ale. He asked me over again what I wanted. Six wide-eyed school teachers on the other side of the table looked at each other horrified. The waiter went to the head waiter. He came and asked me whatI wished. I said I would like a glass of ale, if we could conceal it from the author- ities. He said Il would have to take a bottle. Then he sent out for a blank application. I filled it out, coloring to the roots of my late hair, for every one stopped eating in order to watch the face of the man who had become a slave to ale. The stable boy wrapped bimself up warmly, and bidding good-bye to one and all he dashed down the street tothe Baby Elephant to fll my order. By the time I got to my pie he came in with a short breath and thealeconcealed in a shawl strap. Most everybody in the dining- room had dawdled through the meal in order. to see how I would act after I had got my rum. They pretended to be talking about something else, but really remained to see me disgrace myself. The waiter sent out for a cork- screw and pulled out a piece of the cork with it. He got a better bold, and after a long, purple faced struggle with it there was a pop that scared everybody in the house, and the ale boiled over the table, spurted up the sleeve of the waiter and deluged my ple. I am going to drink iced tea now, especially in America, where drinking is done more behind the green door and less at table than in other countries, I am told. Yesterday I meta young man who had just graduated at college and was on his way home. ‘‘lam a little sorry to leave college, be said, for Ihave bad a good time. I have been pretty well supplied with money by my father, and graduated pretty well up, for I made a good showing and a Food speech. If you will not give my name I will show you the speech and tell you wherel gotit. You see, I bave putin a good deal of time at college out of doors, and I have made some little money out of the boys, teaching sparring, etc., te., so 1 hated to stay indoors and suffer when it didn’t fit my style. Igot the address of Colchester Roberts & Co,, Tiffin, O., and for $15 got a beautiful ora- tion. lama pretty good elocutiorist, though avery poor thinker, and I madeagreat hit withit. The firm isan imaginary one, fora bright young school teacher does all the work himself, aud that is all he could do. He writes a good lecture on geology or autumn or thought and charges so much a hundred words. He did rather extra for me, and I paid him well, for we bad just made some- thing out of a little sparring match in the spring. Iwill give you some of the speech, It was on Thought. It starts out: „„Oh, Lsometimes think how glorious athing is thought. Thought makes the mare go. Thought threads tunvels with trade and traverses the valleys. Thought fills the gran- aries and gaols of the earth. Who can safely monkey with thought? She builds churches, schools and colleges, bridges the torrent, de- clares dividends after paying large salaries, giorifies the pulpit, places a wreath of fame about the knobby brow of the statesman, erects monuments to the courageous dead, giving thenames ofthe heroes in lower case andthe sculptured names of the donors in full, gothic extended letters, ether with the cost ofthe monument and other things, which do not relate to the deeds of those whose dust lies buried there. „Who can overtake or put salt on the tail of thought? No one can! Nou may count the volts ln a stroke of lightning and charge the same up to the oon- sumer, but you cannot puszle thought. You can harness the tornado and make it pump water for — stock, but you cannot even read the thoughts of a petitjury. Who knows what a petit jury thinks? You know how long it takes for the light of the faintest fixed star to reach the United States. You can weigh the pianets and map out the political divisions of the moon, but you cannot even prove that a petit jury thinks, Then let us do more thinking as we jour- ney adown life's pathway. Let us, so fur as possibie, think our own thoughts unless we are able to employ thinkers to advantage. Let us encourage thought in others and do some of it ourselves. ‘*Thought soars beyond the beautiful rain- bow and finds out how it is done, so that art and science and manufacture may even imi- tate it. Thoughtekims the Milky Way, and 8 it with the mush of our busy life, makes still more thought. Oh, let us, therefore, encourage thought even among people whose time seems to be mainly taken up with other things. Let us pat the thinker on its back, as one might say, and bid it do its best. Show methe nation that has asphalt pave- ments and bonored wives and mothers, and I will show you the nation that thinks and progresses. Show methe people who try to do business over cobble stones and woo their wives nthe tumult of a stone-paved street aud I will show you a people who cannot think unless they have a roll of cotton in each ear. Show mea nation of people who do not think, and I will show you a nation of people who eat their enemies and whose victuals do not agree with them. Thougut is really a very desirable thing. Aman may be a good penman and yet be a oor thinker. Give me a mrn with a studious ook, however, and a big round house for the engines of thought, and I will overlook the bagness with whiob his trousers are wont to bag and the general menacing way he has of waltzing. God madesome men good waltz- ers and gave to others an earnest bate of life together with thoughtfulness aud billourness.

There is and has been forsometime con- siderable talk in East St. Louis relative to changing the name ofthe city. Prominent citizens say that the name East St. Louis, for several reasons is not the, one the city should bear. The principal reason is that with the name it has the city ldses to some extent its identity and individuality. these being merged in the great city of St. Louis, which is ao near and so closely con- nected as to convey the idea to the outside world that East St. Louis bears the same rela- tion to the Missouri metropolis as do South St. Louis and North 8t. Louis. The agitation of the subject ie growing, and there is little doubt that in a short time the change will be passed upon. The fact that the project has many advocates and no opposers makes it very probable. Chief of Police Walsh thinks that the Prose- cuting Attorney of St. Clair County should, like the Sheriff, have an assistant in East St, Louis who would look after the criminal cases that come before the local Justices of the Peace. At least four-fifths of the State cases in the county, Chief Walsh says, come SP in East St. uls, and their prosecution, under the existing state of affairs, is dependent upon the Police Department. He thinks it unjust that when a criminal is arrested the police are forced togo into the Justices’ courts and fight able lawyers single- handed, when, with proper lega! assistance, they might secure many more convictions than they now do. The Chief cited several in- stances of this kind yesterday, saying that in each he could undoubtedly have obtained a convictien of the offenders had he been as- sisted by a lawyer vested with the proper power, but as the State’s Attorney cauld not attehd the trials, the persons accused were discharged when he was certain of their guilt, In this way, he says, justice is often cheated, and the police are heavily handicapped in their efforts to suppress crime. The City Attoruey of East St. Louis, of course, had nothing to do with State cases, and the police could not count on assistance from that quarter. The Chief thinks that it would be an easy matter to se- cure an East St. Louis lawyer to act as Proae- cuting Attorney Schacfer’s assistant at no ex- pense, as there are fees in all criminal cases that would be inducement enough wou other pecuniary consideration. Belleville. A conference of attorneys was held yester- day at the office of Silas B. Jones, in St. Louis, for the purpose of settling up the affairs of the City Water Co. of Belleville. Lewis Wal- lace of New York was present to represent the American Loan & Trust Co., whieh holds the firsts mortgage bonds of the water com- pany, and Mr. Jones of St. Louis, and A. 8. Wilderman of Belleville looked after the interests of Alexander G Black, the holder of the gecond mortgage bonds. L. D. Tur- ner of Belleville represented Water Co. M. T. Stookey, the geeral super- intendent of the water- works, who was ap- pointed receiver of the embarrassed company, was also present. The oonference, after more or less argument, resulted a settlement which is said to satisfactory to all concerned. attorneys agreed to have the water works sold at public sale, and after paying the costs of litigation from the proceeds, di- vide the remainder among the bondholders in proportionate amounts. In accordance with this agreement an order for the sale of the water- works will probably by made by the United States Court at Springfield at an early Gay. and the attorneys say that in all likelihood the sale will take place within the next thirty days. The 1 is that the American Loan & Trust Uo. will buy the works. The failure of the Water company will probably not result in a very serious logs to the bondholders, as the property is worth nearly if not quite as much as they have in- vested in the bonds.

THE LAST DISCOVERY. ‘“‘I shall like to turn farmer, Lord Harry went on talking while Iris opened and began to read Fanny’s manuscript. ‘‘After all my adventures, to settle down in a quiet place and cultivate the soil. On market day we will drive into town together’’—he talked as if Kentucky were Warwickshire—‘‘side by side in a spring cart. Ishall have samples of grain in bags, and you will bave a basket of butter and cream. It will be an ideal life. We shall dine at the ordinary, and, after din- ner, over a pipe and a glass of grog,I shall discuss the weather and the crops. And while we live in this retreat of ours, over here the very name of Harry Norland will have been forgotten. Queer, that! We shali go on liv- ing long after we are dead and buried and for- gotten. In the novels the man turns up after he is supposed to be cast away—wrecked— drowned—dead long ago. But he never turns up when he is forgotten—unless he is Rip Van Winkle. By gad, Iris! when we are old peo- ple we will go home and see the old place to- gether. It will be something to look fotward to—something to live for—eh? **T feel quite happy this evening, Iris; hap- pier than Ihave been for months. The fact is, this infernal place has bipped us both con- foundediy. I didn’t like to grumble, but I’ve felt the monotony more than a bit. And so have you. It’s made you brood over things. Now, for my part, I like to look at the bright side. Here we are comfortably cut off from the past. That's all done with. Nothing in the world can revive the memory of disagree- able things if we are only true to ourselves and agree to forget them. What has been done can never be discovered. Not a soul knows except the doctor, and between him and our- selves we are going to put a few thousand ——. What’sthe matter, Iris? What the devil is the matter?’’ For Iris, who had been steadily reading while her husband chatted on, suddenly dropped the book and turned upon hima white face and eyes struck with horror. What is it?“ Lord Harry repeated. „Oh! Is this true?’’ „What?“ J cannot say it. true?“ „What? Speak, Iris. He sprang to his feet. ‘‘Is it—is it discovered?“ = Yes, all—all—all—is discoy- Oh, my God! can this be „Where? How? Give me the thing, Iris. Quick! Who knows? What is known?’’ He snatched the book from her hands. She gbrank from his touch, and pushed back her chair, standing in an attitude of self-defense —watching him as one would watch a danger- ous creature. He swiftiy read page after page, eager to the worst. Then he threw the book k upp the table. well?“ he said, not lifting his eyes. „„The man was murdered—murdered!’’ she whispered. He made no reply. **¥You looked on while You looked on consenting! derer!’’ **‘Thad noshare or part in it. I did not know he was being polsoned. Tou knew when Iwas with you.

I thought he was dying when he came into the house. He did not die; he began to recover. When the doctor gave him his medicine—after that woman went away—I suspected. When he died my suspicions were stronger. I chal- longed him. He did not deny it. Believe me, Iris, Ineither counseled it nor knew of it.“ Nou acquiesced in it. You consented.

I will not look for you.“ „As regards this money which I have ob- tained for you under false pretenses, out of the £15,000 for which you were insured, £5,000 have been paid to my private account. I shall restore to the company all that money. Good heavens! Iris, you will be prose- cuted on a criminal charge.’’ ‘*Shalll? That will matter little provided I make reparation. Alas! who shall make reparation—who shall atone—for the blood- spilling? For all things else in this world we may make what we call atonement, but not for the spilling of blood,“ 3 mean this? You will deliberately do a?’’ I mean every word. I will do nothing and say nothing that will betray you. But the money that lcan restore, I will restore So help me God!’ With streaming eyes she raised her hand and pointed upward. Her husband bowed his head. She went to her own room and packed a single box with necessary things. Then she calied the housemaid and informed her that she had been summoned to return suddenly to England; she must reach Brussels at least that evening. The woman brought a porter who carried her box to the station, and Iris left Louvain—and her husband—for ever. CHAPTER LXII. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. A Board Meeting of the Royal Unicorn Life Insurance Co. had been specially convened. J submit, Mr. Chairman, said one—and he was a barrister—‘‘that the company knows nothing at all about Lady Harry Norland. We have had to deal with the firm of Erskine, Mansfleld, Denham & Co. of Lincoln’s Inn Felds, and a most respectabie firm, too. On their representations we paid the money. If itcan be ascertained that we have been de- frauded we must look to them. If we have to — anybody it must be that respectable rm. Good, said the Chairman. At this moment a card was brought in. It was that of Mr. Erekine himself, senior part - ner in the very firm. He came in, old, eminently respectable but shaken. He was greatly shaken. ‘‘Gentie- men, he said nervously, ‘‘I hasten to bring iy € — 1 — 1 She Opened the Window. you a communication which I have just re- ceived.

It was the result of a deep-laid conspiracy. You mn whe been made the innocent accomplice of a great crime. My wife, who now knows the whole truth, is most anxious for restitution to be made. She is about to restore that portion of the money which lies in her name. The rest willbe sent back by myself, on cer- tain conditions.

She never was in this danger for a 2 minute, but conscience made a coward gf her. The step was that of Hugh Mountjoy. **I found you out, he said, ‘‘by means of Fanny. The girl knew that she was safe in letting me know your secret. Why are you in concealment?’’ Lou cannot know all, or you would not ask me that.’’ Ido know all; and again Lask, why are you in concealmént?’’ **Becau It was all over. se——. Oh, Hugh—spare me!’’ „I know all, which is the reason why I can- not choose but come to see you. Come out of this poor place, resume your old name. There is no reason why youshould not. You were not present at Passy when this conspiracy was hatched ; yon got there after the funeral. You, naturally, wenttosee the family solicitors. Iris, what bas the couspiracy to do with you?’’ It will be observed that Hugh bad not read the letter written to the Directors of the company. Do you know about the money? **Certainly.

This is a aiffi- cult point, bowever. Somebody, it seems, has compounded—ogis going to compound— a felony. Ido not understand exactly what this means, or what dreadful consequences might follow; but I am assured by thelawyers that we need apprehend nothing more. All is over.“ Iris heaved a profound sigh. „Then be is safe?’’ she said. „Tou think of him first,’’ said Hugh jealously. ‘‘Yes, he is safe, and, I do hope gone away, out of the country, never to come back any more. The more important thing is that you should be safe from him. At for the doctor—but I cannot speak of the doctor with common patience. Let him be left to the end whichalways awaits such men. It is to be hoped that he will never, wherever he goes, feel himself in safety.’’ Jam safe,’’ said Iris, not only from my husband, but from what else beside? You know whatI mean. You mean that I, as well as my husband, am safe from that. Oh! the fear of it has never left me—never for one moment. You tell me that I am safe from public disgrace, and I rejoice—when I ought to sink into the earth with shame. She cov- e red her face with her hands. a „Iris, we know what you have done. We also know why you did it. What need we say more? The thing is finished and done with. Let us never again alude to it. The question now is, what will you do next? Where will you live?’’ ‘*‘Ido not know. I have got Fanny Mere with me. Mrs. Vimpany is also anxious to live with me. lam rich, indeed, since I have two faithful dependents and one friend. In such wealth, Iris, you will always be rich. Now listen seriously. I havea villa in the country. It is faraway from London, in the Scottish Lowlands—quite out of the way— remote even from tourists and travelers. It isavery lonely piace, but a pretty house, with a great garden behind and a stretch of sand and seashore in front. There one may live completely isolated. Il offer you that villa for your residence. Take it; live in it as long as you please.“ No, no. I must not accept such a gift. ou must, Iris—you shall. I ask it of you as a proof of friendship, and nothing more. Only, I fear that you will get tired of the lone- Iiness. No—no, she sald. I cannot get tired of loneliness; it is all I want. There is no society at all. Society? Society for me?“ „1 go to the neighborhood sometimes for fishing. You will let me call upon you?’’ Who else has such a right?“ „Then you will accept my offer?’’ ‘*l feel that I must. Yes, Hugh; yes, with deepest gratitude.’’ The next day she went down by the night mail to Scotiand. With her traveled Mrs. Vimpany and Fanny Mere. CHAPTER XLV. THE INVINCIBLES. The gat of Lord Harry after he had sent off that check were most remarkable. If he had invited—actually courted—what fol- lowed, he could not have acted differently. He left London and crossed over to Dublin. Arrived there, he went toa small hotel en- tirely frequented by Irish-Americans and their friends. It was suspected of being the prin- cipal place of resort of the Invincibles. It was known to be a house entirely given up to the Nationalists. He made no attempt to conceal his name. He entered the hotel, greeted the landlord cheerfully, saluted the head waiter, ordered his dinner and took no notice ofthe sulien looks with which he wasreceived or the scowls which followed him about the coffee- room where halfa dozen men were sitting and talking, for the most part in whispers. He siept there that night. The next day, still openly and as if there was nothing to fear, either from England or Ireland, he walked to the station and took his ticket, 1 no attention to what all the world might have seen and understood—that he was watched. When he nad taken nis ticket two men immediately afterward took tick r the same piace. The place where olng was that part of Kerry where the cibles had formerly assassinated Arthur Mountjoy. The two men who followed him—who took their tickets for the same place—who got in the same carriage with him—were two mem- bers of that same fraternitv. It is well known that ha who joins that body and afterward leaves lt or disobeys its order, or is supposed to betray ita secrets, incurs the penalty of death. On the unexpected arriyal of Lord H at this hotel, there had beeg hurriedly called to- — a meeting of th inembers then in ublin. It was resolved that the traitor must be removed. Lots were cast, and the lot fell upon one who remembered past acts of kind- ness done by Lord Harry to his own people. He would fain have been sparea this business, but the rules of the society are imperative. wh ton of the society * ‘the a resolved upon to ap Mint a s to accompany murder has second man, whose duty it — murderer and to see that he executes his In the afternoon, about an hour before gun- ; arrived at the station wh | Hove n ü — — as done, She read the letter — . ae ee were obvious: master recognized him and touched bis hat.

The two men walked after him. One pres- ently quickened his leaving the second man twenty yards be . The station- master looked after them till he could see them no longer. Then he shook his head and re to his office. Lord Harry, walking along the road, knew that the two men were following him. Pres- ently he become aware that one of them was quickening bis pace. l He waiked on. Perhaps his cheeks paled and his lips were set close, because he knew that he was walking to his death. The steps behind him approached faster— faster. rd Harry never even turned his head. The man was olose behind bim. The man was beside bim. „Mickey O' Flynn it is,“ said Lord Harry. „ Ties a—— traitor you are, said the man. „our friends the Invinoibles told you that, Miokey.

And then you'll be a murderer for life. Lam another—we shall both be mur- derers then. Why don’t you fire, man?’’ „By ——I cannot!“ said Mickey. He held the revolver behind bim, but he did not lift his arm. His eyes stared; his mouth was open; the horror of the murderer was upon him before the murder was committed. Then he started. Look!“ ne erled. Look be- hind you, my lord!“ Lord Harry turned. The second man was upon him. He bent forward and peered in his face. Arthur Mountjoy’s murderer!’’ he cried, and sprang at his throat. One, two, three shots rang out in the even- ing air. Those who heard them in the road- side cabin, at the railway station on the road, shuddered. They knew the meaning of those shots. One more murder to load the soul of Ireland. + Lord Harry lay dead in the middle of the road. : The second man got up and felt at his throat. ‘*Faith!’’ he said, 1 thought I was mur- dered outright. Come, Mick, let us drag him to the roadside.’’ They did so, and then, with bent heads and slouched hats, they made their way across country to another station, where they would not be recognized as the two who had followed Lord Harry down the road. Two mounted men of the constabulary rode along an hour later and found thé body lying where it had been left. i They searched the pockets. They founda purse with a few sovereigns; the rtrait ofa lady—the murdered man’s wife—a sealed envelope addressed to Hugh Mountjoy, Esq., care of his London hotel; anda card-case; nothing of any importance. It is Lord Harry Noriand,’’ said one. »The wild lord—he has met his end at last. The letter to Iris was brief. It said: Farewell!

H. N. — — — — EPILOGUE, It is two years after the murder of Lord Harry Norland, the last event counected with thie history. Iris, when she accepted Hugh Mountjoy’s offer of his Scoteh villa, went there resolved to hide herself from the world. She was accompanied by her friend and maid—the woman whose fidelity to her had been so abundantly proved—and by Mrs. Vim- pany, who acted as housekeeper. After a decent interval, Hugh Mountjoy joined her. She was now a widow. She un- derstood very well what he wished to say, and she anticipated him. She informed him that nothing would ever induce her to become the wife of any other man after her degradation, Hugh received this intimation without a re- mark. He remained in the neighborhood, however, calling upon her frequently and offering no word of love. But he became nec- essary to her. The frequent visits became daily; the afternoon visits were pald in the morning; the visitor stayed allday. When the time came for Iris to yield, and he left the house no more, there seemed to be no change. But atill they continued their retired life, and nowldonot think they will ever change it again. And then happened the last event which the chronicler has to relate. It began in the morning with a letter. Mrs. Vimpany received it. She knew the handwriting, started, and hid it quickly in her bosom. As soon as she could get away to her own room she opened and read it. GOOD AND TENDER CREATURE—I ascertained, a good while ago, thinking that probably 1 might have to make this kind of application to you, where you were living and with whom. It was not difficult; I only had to connect you with Mr. Hugh Nountjoy and to find out where he lived. I congratulate you on being so well abie to take care of yourself. You are probably settled for life in a comfort - able home. I feelas happy about it as if I had myself contributed to this satisfactory result. Ihave no intention of making myself more disagreeable than Iam obliged to. Necessity, however, knows no law. You will understand me, however, when I tell you that I have spentall my money. Ido not regret the man- ner in which the money has been spent, but the fact that it has all gone. This it is which cuts me to the heart. I haye also discovered that the late lamented Lord“ Harry, whose death I myself have the greatest reasons to depiore, played me a scurvy trick in regard to certain sums of money. The amount for which he was insured was notless than £15,000, The amount as he stated it to me was only £4,000. In return for certain services reudered at a partioular juncture I was to receive the half of the in- surance money. I only received £2,000, con- sequently there is still due to me tne sum of £5,500. This is a 1 ome of money. But Mr. Mountjoy is, I lieve, a wealthy man. He will, doubtless, see the necessity of pay- ing this money to me without further question or delay. . will, therefore, seek his presence—he is now, Inear, at home. You may read him any part of thie letter that you please, and you will let him know. that I am iu earnest. A man with empty pockets Cannot choose but be in earnest. He may possibly object. Very good. In that case you will tell him that a fraud has been committed in connection with which Iam pre d to make a full con- fession.

Both bad work in their laps; : neither was doing any work. The autumnal ; day had been boisterous; the wind was getting higher. „What are you thinking ot?“ asked Fanny. J was thinking of my husband. It he were to come back, Fanny—if he were to threaten” ou would loose my tongue—you would let me speak?’’ es; for her sake. I would have shielded him once—if Icould. But not now.

Persuade her to lie in bed—any- thing.“ He does not know what I have seen. Charge him with the murder of the Dane.

Oh! who will rid us of this monster!’’ Outside the gale rose higher—higher still. They heard it howling, grinding branches together; they heard the roaring and the rushing of the waters as the rising tide was driven over the shallow sands, like a mount- ain reservoir at loose among the valleys below. In ths midst of the tempest there sudden lull. Wind and water alike seemed hushed. And out ot the lull, as it in answer to the woman’s 98 there came a loud of a man in deadly peril. he two women caught each other by the hand and rushed tothe window. ‘They threw it open; the tempest began again: a fresh gust drove them back; the waters roared ; the wind howled; they heard the voice no more. They closed the window and put up the shutters. It was long past midnight when they dared to go to bed. One of them lay awake the whole night long. In the roaring tempest she had seen an omen ofthe wrath of Heaven about to fall once more upon her mistreas. She was wrorg. The wrath of Heaven fell upon one far more gullty. Iu the morning, with the ebbing tide. a dead body was found lashed tothe posts of one of the standing nets in the Solway. It was recog- nized py Hugh, who went out to look at it, and found it was the body of Vimpany. Whether he was oa bis way back to Annan, or whether he intended to call at the villa that evening instead of next morning, no one can tell. His wife shed tears, but they were tears of relief. The man was buried as a stranger. Hugh kept his counsel. Mrs. Vim- pany put the letter in the fire. Neither of them thought it wise to disturb the mind of Iris by any mention of the man. Some days later, however, Mrs. Vimpany came dowa- stairs in a widow’s cap. To Iris’ look of interrogation she replied caimly, Les. I heard the other day. He is dead. Is it not better—even for him, perhaps —that he should be dead? He can do more wickedness; he can bring misery into no more households. He ia dead.’’ Iris made no reply. Better—better far—that he was dead. But how she had been delivered from the man, to what new dangers she had been exposed, she knew not,and will never know.

A FOOD OF THE FUTURE, Possibilities of the Possum as a Substitute for Beef and Pork. From the Chicago Herald, In theearly days of Chicago an opossum was occasionally seen hanging in front of a store where game was sold. Being a curiosity it attracted attention and served the purpose of asign. If it ever found a purchaser it was a negro, who secured the animal at the cost ofa few cents. But times have changed. The opossum has come to be classed among the article of luxury that ouly the rich can indulge in. It is the dearest kind of food in our market. It brings a higher price than canyas-back duck or woodcock. he favor- ite food ofthe negro ot slavery days has be- come a dainty for the rich epicure. It has a conspicuous place on every table spread for a game dinner. Roasted in true Southern tyle, garnished with parsiey and served with fried sweet potatoes, itis considered a dish At to set before a king. The despised pos- sum is at last appreciated. And now people remember that Henry Clay, Alexander H. Stephens and other distin- guished men of the South preferred possum to any kind of flesh, fish or fowl. The think it strange that our market is not well supplied with this delicacy. They predict a most brilliant future fortbe very interesting marsupial that is only found on this conti- nent. Now that the deer and prairie chicken are disappearing they are gl that there is something to take their peers The opossum is easily domesticated. All you havetodo torender ittame is to give it enough to eat. A Georgia farmer who had runined his lend by raising continuous crops of cotton allawed it to grow upto pa w trees, surrounded it with ws sence abe ra’ woven wire and stocked it with opossum. He now gets a good crop ev year without the employment of commercial fertilizers. He anticipated the coming demand for possum and proposed to supply it. CONSUMPTION SURELY CURED.

HOLIDAY WEEK AT THE VARIOUS PLac Or 66— AND ITS EFFECT, Queer and Fiagreat Errors Whi:h Abound in Held by the Enemy“ Pointed Out by a Military Critic—A for the Coming Week—The Yale Glee Club—Dra- matic Notes and Gossip. uur, es T IS remarkable that a play like ‘‘Held By . the Enemy,’’ which has borne the test of popular favorso long, should be marred by so many absurdities. It purports to be a military drama, and yet, nearly every striking scene oon tains blunders which cause persons who have a knowledge of military life to laugh heartily. The young- est and stupidist re- _ cruit in thearmy could have corrected several g glaring errors. In tue court-martial scene the table is lighted by candles stuck in bayonet sockets. A soldier who should make use of his bayonet for such a purpose would make a protracted visit to the guard-house. The members of the court wear their hats and swords, while no regulation is more stringent than that requiring both to be laid on the table. The prisoner who was captured in a dilapidated Union uniform has been pro- vided with a complete officer’s outfit of Con- federate gray, a thing that never would have occurred in the service. That during the heat ofa tremendous battig the Commander-in- Chief should station himself in a warehouse without an aide or orderly in attendance and engage in a long conference with a superan- nuated Ethiopian is highly improbable. In the hospital scene the surgeons wear artillery sabres, weapons as inappropriate as bowie knives would have been, as the sword is worn by surgeons only on state occasions, and then a light weapon with a crosshilt is carried. To represent a surgeon marching about a hospital with a huge revolver strapped about his waist is no less incongruous than it would have been to send a chaplain to the pulpit. similarly equipped. Passing over the fact that a Colonel of artillery would have no right what- ever to put a Surgeon in his own hospital under arrest, the manner in which the order was obeyed is most wonderful. When the sword is given up it is against all rules to flash it out as if for combat, but the scab- bard should be unhasped, and blade and sheath handed to an officer. Causing a com- missioned officer to deliver his weapon to an enlisted man is the crowning absurdity of all, and would not be tolerated for an instant in any ‘civilized service. The expurgation of some of these blunders would relieve those acquainted with military etiquette from a longing to laugh at some of the best conceived scenes of the play. To,refrain from referring to a casemate as a casement would also be an improvement. * ” — 2 * The business at all the theaters was very good last week, when the fact is considered that all were old attractions. Paul Kauvar’’ at the Olympic, ‘‘Held by the Enemy’’ at the Grand, Nellie McHenry at Pope’s, ‘‘My Aunt Bridget’’ at the Peopie’s, and the Rentz- Saatley 9 at the Standard have all been here before, some of them many times, son. Yet they all did well. The matinees on Christmas were not as crowced as is usual on that day. More people seemed to look upon Christmas as a home day than ever before in St. Louis. ee At the Grand Opera- house, commencing this evening, Frank Daniels will seen in his play Little Puck. Mr. Daniels will be re- membered as the original and very clever comedian playing Old Sport in one of the Hoyt plays. His new play is derived from F. An- stey’s novels, Viee Versa’’ and Fallen Idol,’’ the scene being transferred from Lon- don to New York. The idea at the bottom of It has the merit of originality, provides an abundance of lively situations, with music, singing and dancing, and gives Mr. Daniels an opportunity to employ his quaint humor to its fullest -extent. His support in- cludes Miss Bessie Sanson, Annetta Zelina, Rose Chesneau, Marie Hilton, Emily Beau- mont, Burt Haverly, Robt. Evans, Arthur Moulton and others. this week at the Olympic. It is an old favorite, and yet the management say that it is also new, because it has been changed in several particulars since it last was seen here. A number of novel features is promised. The Play abounds in fun and laughter and is load- eda with specialities in which Anna Boyd, and other members of the company get a chance to display their versatility. In the third act, a sensation is promised. The whele of the stage is draped with black portieres, and in this setting white robed dancers go through a minuet, with striking effect. „Zig Zag’’ opens to-night and will be the bill all week. Patti Rosa, a general favorite, in ‘‘Margery Daw’’ will be at Pope’s this week. She will begin her stay at the matinee to-day. The play is said togive her the opportunity she wants to kick and dance and #ing her way in- to popular favor. One song in particular, „Hannah, Hannah, Oh, do come out to-night’’ is said to be the best thing she has ever done. ‘*Margery Daw’’ was written for her by ;Tom Craven, the author of ‘‘Stowaway.’’ Miss Rosa will introduce her songs, dances and banjo solos. The company avery strong one. * 0 * Carroll Johnson in the Fairies“ Well,“ a new spectacular Irish drama, will de the at- traction at the People’s. The first perform- ance will be given at the matinee to-day. Mr. Johnson is the well-known minstrel, iate of Johnson & Slavin’s Minstrels.

The case of Augustin Daly against W. A. rey is being retried. The young manager of ‘‘The After Dark company is charged with unlawfully using the railroad effect of Under the Gaslight.’’ It’s quite probable that there will be no Me- Caull company next year. Oudin is going to Europe, De Wolf Hopper leaves them, De an- 2 goes tothe Aronsons, and Marion Manola as an offer from Wilson. William Young, the author of ‘‘Ganeion,’’ was anxious that the production of his play should take place at the Broadway, with a substitution for Mr. Barrett. This, however, would have been a very unwise policy. Miss Bertha Hecker, a young New York ar- tiete, has completed and sent here a life-size bust pastel portrait of Mme. Ysidora Clark who is at the head of the vocal department of the Beethoven Conservatory of Music. The likeness is said to be strikingly fine and the work delicately artistic.

His lonesome houses in Pittsburg were due more to the high price of admission—$§2 a ticket than to any fauit of Mr. Salvini’s. The people of Pittsburg boycotted the theater rather than submit to what they deemed an extortion. Mr. Boothand Mme. Modjeska hada similar experience in New York. They played to less money and fewer aye than if they had charged only the usual $1.50. The Kendale are the only English company. in America that have an American manager, an are the only foreigners now in America who are amassing the American dol- lars in quantities at all dazzling.

This was particu- lariy true of the popular price houses, from which places of amusement a great deal is al- ways expected.

(Copyrighted.] NEw YORK, Dec. 26.—Over New York there is passing just nowa wild wave of excite- ment. Upper Tendom is agitated beyond ex- pression. It is all on account of the New Year’s ball, which takes place next Thursday evening, at the Metropolitan Opera- house. Ordinarily a ball, even at New Year’s, arouses Only a passing interest in Gotham. So many take place during the season that one of more or less magnificence makes little differ- nee. But this is to be no common ball, but the finest ever given in this coun- try, and the most remarkable since the colonial days, when the high-born dames - @anced side by side with the wives and daughters of the honest burghers. But what distinguishes it above all other balls is the fact that it will mark the graceful surrender of the gilded Four Hundred, who have lorded it over New Tork. and who have consented that Ward McAllister should throw wide open the gate and allow a thousand or so of Gotham’s most approved citizens to come in, enter the charmed circle and enjoy its privileges and felicities, like any of the aristocrats them- selves. So itis that, for weeks past, this ball has been the topic on everybody's lips. The loveliest women in town have been driving their dressmakers to distraction preparing for it, andeventhe art of the London and. Parisian modistes has been enlisted at short ese the hands cost nothing ex- cept a very little jabor and time, and they make good, gubstantir.l serviceable mit- ashes or for hanging out the Instead ofthe hot-water bottles, some per: sons prefer to fill stoat bags of cotton or bed- ticking with common sand, sewing up the ends securely.

During the twelve years her hus- — 208 has served in Congress Mrs. Reed has passed the winters in Washington, and, while not reasive in her social methods, she has enjoyed wide popularity. Mrs. Reed, whose ma dan awe was Susan Merrill, was born in Center Harbor Me. Her father, Rev. 8. H. Merrill, was one of the most eloquent pulpit orators of the — 1 ee Ohurch in that section of New England. The daughter was finely educated, and in 1870 became the wife of Thomas B. Reed, who had just entered the office of Attorney-General of his State. Their marriage took place at Portland, and that became their home.

The Hungarian band will play while the uests make the terrapin, canvas-backs, nglish pheasants and game from the West disappear, washing down the repast with cooling ices and draughts of rare wines. Be- sides ciaret, sherry, apollinaris and other drinkables, there will be three kinds of cham- agné, imported specially for the ball: Molt & Bdandon g Imperial Brut, Perrier Jouett Brut and Roederer Brut. One thousand quarts of champagne will be served, but several hundred extra quarts will be kept in reserve. Should the crowd find di- ficulty in securing accommodations in the two assembly rooms, tables will be set in the wide corridors. In the big concert room up-stairs on the Broadway side a great buffet is placed, decorated with mounds of palms and mosses and lit up with candelabra. A similar buffet Das been set up in the assembly room on the Thirty-ninth street side. Both will be loaded down with tempting game dishes, gies? pleces and other appetizing viands. Mr.Pinard thinks that the supper will be over about 2 a. m., when the guests will return tothe ball room. The cost of the supper is estimated at §5,000, and the wines and cigars at $8,000: CIGARS COSTING HALF A DOLLAR apiece will be served tothe gentlemen, and the tables will contain a pretty souvenir for each lady, which 1 Carry aWay as a me- ea ° been | tions Workingmen’s Self-Cultuare.

There is nothing definite yet to teil, but I have confided all to mother, and she has promised to plead my case with papa. You know he is averse to balls and parties, like all men of learning.

If you were only here, I could hug you to death with joy. Atfirst papa would not hear to anything of the: kind. A ball—certainly not. She is much too young,’ said he. ‘Dear husband, she will be 18 next summer,’ pleaded mother. ‘Eighteen, eb? (I don’t believe, dear Meta, that papa really knows how old his children are.) And while the girl is thinking of all this frivolity, she’ll forget all about her domestic duties.’ ‘No, no, dear papa,’ I now ejacu- lated, ‘I promise you that mamma shall be satisfied with me. ‘I have certainly been that with our daughter,’ my mother asserted in her kindly manner. ‘Magda is beginning to bea very sensible girl.’ Haven't seen much of it, however—’ I wouldnét let papa finish his sentence, but clasped my arms around his neck. ‘Then I may go, father dear?’ ‘Have I said so, you blunderbus?“ snaried papa, submitting to my fond caresses inspite of it. Suddenly, he looked uneas- ily toward motber. ‘You certainly do not expect me to go with you, do you?“ With a gentle ‘no, no,’ mother quieted his fears. **] shall go alone with Magda, for we will find many families there of our circle of friends, whom wecan join.’ Papa breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Well, then you had better arrange the rest between yourselyes!’ And so it is a fact, Meta, I am to go tothe bali—my rst bali. I shall, of course, not have so costly a toilet ss yours, only a simple, white mull gown, which I am to help to make up, butidon’t care about that. You shall see how pretty Ioan make it look.

Do you mean our friends in general, or a very cer- tain friend’ in particular, about whose com- ing you are interested? But I am merciful and will tell you that he is really coming. Papa met him and he has promised. Lest you should not know who the party is designated by the little pronoun ‘he,’ let me enlighten you by saying that it refers to a certain Dr. Phil Arming, and it is whispered about that he has for some time exhibited great interest for the daughter of acertain professor, who may be no stranger to you. It’s quite a re- markable fact, that he too inquired who was to attend the ball. He seemed just a little bit ‘put out,’ when he heard that you were going. Dear Magda, won’t it be delightful? Jam already engaged for the first waltz. Can you guess to whom? To-day the gentie- men on the committee purchased the cotillon favors and there are some charming trinkets among them.

Magda’s father was anxiously endeavorin to soothe the sufferings of his pallid wife, an beckoned his daughter to leaye the room. Mechanically the girl obeyed and hastened back to the little chamber, which but a mo- ment ago she had left with a heart full of glad anticipations, and sank uponachair. Was it 8 that this could be the end of her ream of pleasure? No, no, it cannot be. Without even ciinging to a definite thought, she sat in the solitude of her little room, in- stinctively ganna her delicate gown against crushing, when Hannah’s voice bade her come to her mother.

Father will soon be ready; put on your wraps now, and do not keep him waiting.’’ Silently Magda kissed her motber’s hand and repaired againto herroom. Once shel- tered by its narrow halisshe locked the door and with her face hidden in her hands aban- doned herself to her unrestrained grief. Her heart was full of contending emotions. So this was the end of all her dreams and hopes. All her glad expectations had come to nanght. Wasn’t it her duty to remain at home? If her mother should grow worse—if something se- rious should happen to her while she was away—could’ she in all her life pardon herself? But the attack would x0 by—mother had often bad it before. Was she suffering less then, because she suffered often? Could she devote herself to enjoyment, knowing her mother to be lll? How kind and unselfish that mother had been at ali times; how many sacrifices had she not made for her child—how could she hesitate to remain at home for the love of her? It was her first ball. And then, it was not the ball alone. Ah, she had hoped to meet the one to whom her inno- Ready for the Ball. cent heart had gone out secretly in girlish love and admiration. Ana now he would dance with others. There were so many pretty girls he would quickly forget her. Their’s was so quiet and reserved a home, God knows, the opportunity to meet him again might be lone deferred! Until then his heart bave decided in favor of another! Two heavy tear-drops es through her fingers, then she raised her head. How could I hope for happiness when Ido what is wrong? I will be dutiful and leave the rest to God, she whispered to herself and began hastily to undress. Piece after piece of the dainty garments were placed on the bed, and then, as a last fare- well to hopea and joys departed, she pressed her face for a moment into the soft mull clouds, slipped into her simple House dress and repaired to the kitchen to prepare with her own hands the tea, which had so often helped her mother under similar attacks. And while her father stood with a heavy heurt beside his patient wife, to bid her adieu for the next hour, the door opened and Magda entered in her everyday gown, Carrying a cup of steaming tea in her hand. Her eyes were a little red from weeping, but around her mouth hovered a friendly, winsome smilie. „My darling child,’’ was all her mother could say, but the tone in which she spoke the tender words fell like a soothing balm on Magda’s burning wound, and when her father, so little inclinedto any demonstra- tions of affection, now patted her cheek and said with kindly praise: ‘‘You have done well, my child, Iam proud of you,“ all linger- ing trace of bitterness of the sacrifice she had made disappeared. She remained with her mother until she drank the tea then helped her to undress and put her to bed. “en An hour had eJapsed and Magda whispered to her father, whose anxions face appeared in the door which he had softly opened, that her mother was asleep. „Thank God,’’ replied he with a sigh of re- lief, ‘‘the danger is past forthis time. We can now leave her safely to Hannah’s care. I think that by to-morrow she will be herself again. But whatshall we do with the remain- ing hours of the dying year? Wouid my little daughter care to walk with ber old father? It is a clear, crisp winter night and the fresh air will do us both good. „Aud may we come along also?“ exclaimed Elizabeth and Charley, who had been greatly perplexed by the sudden, unexpected change in the programme of the evening. ‘*You may indeed,’’ replied the fathe? with unwonted good humor, and when we come back, Magda shall prepare the Sylvester bowi for us and we will await the New Year to- gether.’’ Well protected against the cold with wra and mufflers, the younger children taking the lead, Magda bythe side of her father, the little troup soon started out into the clear winter night. The Professor turned his face toward the public park. How strangely beau- tiful it appeared in could not remember to have ever seen the winding, wintry. walks at night time. Dazziinglty white the vast, snow-covered might their way resolutely swards expanded before her, bathed in th silver light of the moon, latticed here an there by the shadows thrown by an isolated aie, Ame ee: = * 7 * 7 * ty — a 2 4 J ai 1 =. ee e nnn . 7 aif cme : .

The figure of a man av- peared in the shadow of the pine grove be- yond. With curious eyes Magda scanned the newcomer. Was it a casual estrian, short- ening his route by traversing the park,or were there others like them, who sought the a spectacie of this beautiful winter night As he emerged from the trees the moonlight fell fullon his face. A tremor of happy fright passed through Magda’s frame as she recog- nized in the lonely wanderer before her—Dr. Arming. Dr. Arming, who had occupied her thoughts all day, and whom she believed at this moment in the midst of the enjoyment of the Sylvester ball! Magda’s father now greeted him: ‘‘Is that you, Dr. Arming?’’ he cried in surprise. ‘*Where in the world do you come from? I thought you were at the ball. ‘*T was there, replied the doctor, betray- ing some slight embarrassment, ‘‘but left very soon; II was notin the right kind of mood for a ball. But I am scarcely less sur- prised to see you, Miss Magda, promenading the wintry park, instead of gracing the shin- ng pee’ of the Excbhange.’’ „It is because she is a dear, good child, said her father, lovingly placing his hand upon his daughter's shoulder. My wife was suddenly taken ill, and while we did not want to interfere with Magda’s pleasure, she was too good a daughter to leave her suffering mother and willingly renounced the antici- pated enjoyment. It may not have been an easy task, be added, but I can truthfully say it was glaaly done. „Such heroism deserves great praise, said Dr. Arming, cleverly turning from the pro- fessor’s side tothat of his young daughter. Aud was’nt this to be your first bali, Miss Magda!“ es, of course, but I have al- most forgotten the ball, said the young damsel, in a voice, which left no doubt as to the truth of herassertion, ‘‘How beautiful it ie here,’’—and she guzed about with shining eyes—‘‘itseems almost to me, that the last evening of the year is far better spent under- neath God's vast open sky, than in the ball- room. Jam glad that you agree with my own sen- timent, and I may well confess to you that I am no great friend of New Year’s Eve balls. The custom of obliterating the solemn thoughts which the close of the year brings to every human heart by loud gayety and mirth never appealed to my liking. It's an evening which above all others belongs to the family. Ot course, he added witha gentle sigh, to those who are so happy as to havea fam- ily.’’ é Charley and Elizabeth took advantage of the favorable opportunity and took their father in their midst, drawing bim along with them and overwhelming him with a thousand ques- tions. Magda and the doctor foilowed slowly on. And while they wandered side by side through the moon-lit. park, the young man 3 to tell her in gentle words of the happy family life of his youthful — „and how earnestly he wished that the circle of home would once more close warmly and snugly around him. He told her of nis dead mother, with whom he had always spent this evening of the year, of her goodness and tenderness, and the great loss her death wae to him. Before either wers aware of it, they had arrived at her father’s house. With a polite salute the doctor attempted to withdraw, but the professor protested. ‘‘No, doctor, you must come with us. The old year has so wonder- fully led you across our path that you must help us see its close. „Will it not disturb your wife?’’ My wife cannot hear us in her room, and besides she fell asleep long ago. Magda will see to it that the punch will soon be ready. Maada’s nimbie feet ran swiftly up the stairs. Charley and Elizabeth lent helping hands, and soon the little company was gathered around the family board, doing bonor to the traditional fragrant bowl, which Magda had prepared. The younger children provided all manner of New Year's Eve entertainment, and even their grave father had to join inthe throwing of apple peels and slippers, and try his luck at melting lead. Magda and Dr. Arming took part in the general merriment at first, but as the mystic hour drew near, in which the old year surrenders its scepter to the new, they grew strangely quiet. Stauding close to the slightly open window, they listened and peered into the darkness outside. Suddenly the first peal of the midnight bell announced clearly and distinctly the changing tide. Magda clasped her arms around her father’s neck, wishing him a happy New Year,’’ and, making room for Charley and Elizabeth, turned to Dr. Arming, who had modestly stepped aside,so as not to disturb the little family scene. 1 hope the new year will be a happy one for vou, she said timidly. Do not say forme alone—say for both of us, Magda, my darling,“ he whispered earn- estiv. It was all he could say then, for Char- ley thrust his hand into the doctor’s with a „Happy New Year’’ over and over again. Magda’s face was bathed in girlish blushes; her sensitive mouth trembled as she felt her lover’s gaze rest long ingly upon her. Slowly, timidly she raised her face to his, and their eyes met ina happy promise, while his hand folded gently over her two dimpled ones. The doctor had gore, and the rest of the family had soon retired. Stepping softly along the hall, with her slippers tn her hand, s0 as not to awake her mother, Magda slipped into the room, which she shared with her. But the mother heard the approgch of her child. Is it you, my little daughter?’’ she questioned gently. In a momont Magda was by her side, 928 into her ear the warm New Year’s wishes for her mother's welfare. Asthe mother passed her hand caressingly over the girl’s face she found the dew of tears upon the soft velvety cheeks. „Are you still unhappy about the ball my poor child?’’ she asked tenderly. ‘‘Unhappy? Oh. mother, sweet mother, I am so happy, 80 indescribably happy!’’ And ressing her blushing face againat the loving preast of her mother she whispered to her the exquisite hope which had unfolded to her on the threshold of the new vear.

Some of the Holiday Festivities—Iwe Types of Femininity and the Effects They Pro- duce—An Artistic Gown, a Beautiful Opera Clonk and a Useful Pincushion— Personal Gossip. ie [Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. | ae EMILY: 1 have just finfehned the not very trifling task of utting away my Christmas presents. Au week I have had them scattered around everywhere for the ready inspection of admiring and envious friends, but the ap- proach of Sunday made me think it 1 might be as well to give the house a more seyerely neat appear- ance than wasin keeping with a bazaar-like array of articles lying around in convenient nooks and inconvenient corners. Santa Claus was very good to me and I recelyed ever 80 many things that I have been wanting, but I must also acknowledge to the possession of a host of trifles which an unappreciative person might call trash, and which I shall have about as much use for as a belle in South Africa would have for a sealskin cloak, or a baidheaded man for silver hairpins. How- ever, Ihave learned a lesson in regard to the making of Onristmas gifts, a lesson born of my own experience, Which I hope Iwill not have forgotten by next year, when the duty of selecting gifts again arrives. Presents in some cases seem too much like a mere ex- change to be properly called gifts at all, and in many instances they have an indesoribable air of having come from the bargain counters, which takes the charm away, for all of us like to think of our presents, however trifling, as having been selected solely witha view of giving us pleasure and pot because they were cheap, and when we do get something which, as the advertisements say, fill a long felt want, I think it is quite natural that our grat- itude should be proportionately great. There was a regular epidemic of glass boxes, glass moucholr cases, glass photograph receivers, Klass glove cases, glass everything in the way of hoiders for the little accessories to a girl's toilet. Adele made six, and after the last one was dispatched by a special messenger to her particular friend she was loathing the very sight of glass, whilst trying to heal halfa dozen cuts on her fingers, when the bell, which kept up an almost incessant jingle all day on Christmas Eve, gave a particularly vigorous peal, anda package was tenderly deposited which, on being as tenderly opened, proved to be a glass box for Adele with love and best wishes, etc., from that very same gir!. Auntie received one also, and I made one for Marie, but when I found out at what a discount glass boxes were getting to be around our bearth- stone, I made a virtue of necessity and sent it toa bazartor the poor, where it sold for , just 25 cents leas than THE RIBBON COST. You would never dream, to look at one of the little things, of all the ribbon it takes, it is one of the clearest cases of deceptive appear- ances that you can imagine; Adele used eight yards on each one of hers, and they are not a large either. 6 began the celebration of our Christmas rather earlier than usual, for ali of us got u in time to goto 5 o’clock mass at the Roc Church, Adele being the moving spirit. When she was abroad last year she attended mid- night mass atthe Cathedralin Florence and as there were none celebrated here at mid- night outside of the convents she could not enjoy that privilege this season; however, as it was pitch dark at early mass, and as every- one was sleepy enough to imagine it midnight or any other hour that did not belong to day- time, lsuppose it amounted to about the same thing. It was very beautiful, the altars were decorated with hundreds of flashing wax tapers and hot-house plants and gariands; the priests wore their costilest vestments, the music was beautiful, and when the Christ- mas hymu, the “Adesta Fide les,“ rang out clear and sweet, carrying the worshipers back to the first Christmas in far off Bethlehem, it sent a thrill through every heart, no matter what the religious faith, and there was many a one who joined the throng which filled the pews and aisies who lacked a great deal of being Roman Catholic. The weather was anything but the {conven- tional Christmas weather, and I looked long- ingly at my new set of furs which Jack and Marie gave me and stood by the open window to examine a lovely Christmas card which had a fine snowstorm painted onit with appropriate Christmas poetry all about cold and snow and winter’s cheer, and glowing coals and tink- ling sleigh belis. Of course we ate plum pud- ding and mince pie and turkey and gathered around the flowing bowl, over which Jack made a speech which might have been en- hanced in veracity, if not in oratory, by more Sa and leas rhetoric, but fd think wea ENJOYED THE ICE WATER and ice cream more than the Christmas part of the bill of fare, although nobody would sayso. Mr. Oldbeau, who dined with us, having no home of his own, poor fellow, face- tlously invited me to go sleigh- riding with bim; and some children whoreceived skates and sleds looked with disgust on the bills where such good coasting oug t to be and was not. We went walking on the Lindell boule- vard, dispensed with wraps and talked about the feasibility of making St. Louis a winter resort in opposition to Florida. The Weather Bureau man says, however, that some cold weather is being prepares for St. Louls, man- ufactured according to a process known only to Wiggins and Hicks and those people who bother themselves about regulating the ther- mometer, so I have hopes of exhibiting my furs after all. After admiring each other’s Presents and going into eostacies over our own and . polite little fibs about the ar- ticles received from the family being just what we wanted, and eating more than was altogether good for us we wound up the home features of the great day and prepared for the social part of it. Adele and I went to Mrs. Wainwright's re- ception and met with Santa Claus in, and in the midst of a giorious time a andsome French clock chimed away tor midnight and Christmas according to — calendar Was over. All the girls are looking Torward with eager anticipation to the party which Mrs. E. C. Simmons is going to give in honor of the Yale College boys, who are to warble to delighted admirers on Monday night. The debutantes are to be given a prominent part in their en- tertainment, so for once we will soore a point ahead of the generally irresistibie roses. Mrs. Ewing, who is now living in her home on Locust street, recently purchased from Mrs. Morrison, will give a party on New Year’s night in honor of her sons who are here trom Exeter College for the holidays. Just before Christmas Mrs. Bailey gave one of the most 9 and elegant parties of the season fn honor of ber oon opular young daughter and Miss Katherine ‘erens, the daughter of Mr. R. C. Kerens. Miss Kerens is said to know more prominent people both here and in Europe than any young lady of her age in the city, When you were a girl did you ever have some one whom you id not tike meet you at every turn, a regu evil genius? Well, such is my ſuek, although perhaps I ought not to apply terms so harsh to a person so nearly perfect, accordin opinions of some people, not mine. ell, she is a young lady who constantly conveys the impression of her own superiority, not that ou know less, but that she knows more.

Ugh! I think of a snake when I am with that girl. I would like to send her a book called ‘‘Habits and Instinots of es.’ She sows seeds of jealousy in bappy bearts, tells djsagreeable facts in an artfully artiess way, drags out skeletons from aristocratic and well guarded closets, patronizes the timid giris and ignores tbe su- perior ones, and, ina word, is a veritable thorn in my nerves and a crooked in my esh. In welcome contrast to her is Mrs. oodheart, Junior, whom I meta few weeks ago, a woman who is not very pretty, nor very talented, nor very anything especi- ally, but who has more friends than any one I know.

She has lovely manners, never loses her temper nor talks about household affairs at areception. She leaves the wonder- ful qualities of her children to speak for themselves or be discovered by her friends without her assistance. She thinks her hus- band is about as near perfection as it is the privilege for mortal man to be and is not ashamed of her weakness. She serves dainty refreshments to callers but does not make her spreads so elaborate as to invite suspicion that she attributes the call to a desire to get a free collation, She does not toady to riches nor put on snobbish airs tq her poorer friends. She is not interested in Buddhism, has no theories about the primordial atomic globule, entertains old-fashioned ideas about right and wrong and is uncompromising in re- gard to her own conduct and remarkably charitable toward the conduct of other peo- * noone ever thinks of calling her a bril- lant woman but everybody finds her a noble one. From character to pin-cushions is a long step, but I want to tell you about the latest thing in that important center-piece on a giri’sdressing-case. Everybody knows what a veritable white elephant an embroidered or hand-painted satin pin-cushion proves, be- cause it cannot be used, as the pins leave lit- tle boles in the satin, and a ventilated appearance is not considered desirable for a pincushion. The new factor in fancy work which does away with this objection is the exquisite bolting cloth which forms a lovely background for embroidery or painting, and which, put in the center of the satin or velvet used in the construction of the cushion, gives a satisfactory home for the pine, as the thrusts leave no impression on the olting cloth. The coarser , . more leen was desirable for pin-cushions. One of the lovely new shades f06F evenin and reception gowns is the pale gray, whic takes on a pink sea-shell tint by gasiight. Mrs. J. Finney Howe wore at a recent reception an artistic costume of grey bengaline exquisitely embroidered in vandyke points of white. A becoming little bonnet which matched the gown perfectly was worn witb it. Oneof the most beautiful opera cloaks I ever saw was around the lovely form of Mrs, Henry Meir. It was made ofarich changabie green plush, lined with pale pink and trimmed with white lamb. Here, I have only a line left on which to say Happy New Tear. Au revoir, Your lov- ing KATHLEEN.

The New Song That Has Become the Popular Favorite. From an Exchange. Down went McGinty to the bottom of the sea. That's the refrain which greets your ears now wherever you turn. It has driven those other choice bits of melody, ‘‘I Owe Ten Dol- lars to O’Grady’’ and I'd Fifteen Dollars in My Inside Pocket, out of public favor. No- body knows why; but it has. Everybody humsit. The song runs as follows: Soonday marnin’ just at zine, Dan McGinty, dressed so fine, Shtood lookin’ up agin a high ston Whin bis young frind, Pat Mc Siz, ‘‘Ol'll bet a folver, Dan, Ol kin carry yez to the top without a fall!“ So on his shoulder he took Dan, And to climb the lad began, An’ ’twas very near he did to rache the top; When McGinty, thinking thin That the foiver he would win, Let go his hould an’ tuk an awful drop! CHORUS. Down went McGinty to the bottom of the wall, And tho’ he won the folve, *Twas more dead he was than alolve, Wid ribs an’ nose an’ back broke from the wall; no, tall— Dressed in his best shoot av clothes!

McLean, Congressman Stewart, Old Saddle- bags, Senator Gorman and Others Dis- cuss the Question, [Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Drerarcn.] ** Does political life offer sufficient honors and re- wards to warrant a young man in engaging there- of leading politicians ny of this country re- & (_#\ cently; men who have had their ups and downs, their victories and defeats, and who know from personal experience what they are talking about. Annexed are their an- swers: SMITH M. WEED, often called the Demo- cratic sage of Piatts- burg, N. Y¥.: ‘‘There is nothing so decep- tive as politics. A young man who adopts politics as a profession is reckless and paving the way for an impecunious exist- ence. He is notacitizen who is going to as- sist in elevating and improving the commun- ity in which he lives, but rather expects to float on atidal wave of popularity to office and the emoluments thereof. Asa rule, in- deed, nine times out of ten, he is caught in “the ebb tide and is carried to shallows and disappointment. Suchis the fate of the as- piring professional political office-seeker. I believe that all young men should take an interest in politics and go to the polls and vote. Rion men can indulge in politicosas a pastime, and even then they are often sadly disappointed. In large cities, of course,there are afew men who can become professional politicians and eke out arather unsatisfactory existence. If a young man, with the eloquence of Cicero, the Giplomacy of Bismarck and the brilliancy of Gladstone, should ask me whether ke should adopt politics as a profes- sion, I would say, uniess you are wealthy and independent, don't. DORMAN B. EATOX, the well-known Mugwump and Civil Service Reform advocate: ‘‘Every young man should belong to some political party that has prin- ciples that he can advocate anddefend, He should make it his duty as acitizen to under- stand the principles of each party, and thereby know how to voteintelligently. If civil service ever obtains and becomes a fixed institution in our republic, which I believe it will, then young men can study to go into the service of the Government and not be afraid of being discharged whenever a new administration comes into power. The brightest and best young men in the country will come to the front it civil service is carried out to the letter and the many poli- _ticians who make it a business to deal out oflices will be reiegated to obscurity. What the Kepublic needs is efficient men in the Goy- ernment service, not political sineoures, and until this change for the better oecurs I do not see any chance for young men in politics. It will comessome day; the people will ask for and then demand it. SENATOR JOHN C. BPOONER of Wieconsin, known as the little Republican giant: “As a general proposition Il would advise all young men to become interested in pol- itics. It brightens their faculties, makes them think for themselves, and in its way educates them as much as book learning. If a young man refuses to vote and refuses to take an interest in the politics of his country, why, be simply abdicates his rights of citizen- ship. Professional politics is precarious, and should be avoided. Strictly speaking, politics is nota profession, and success in it is often the result of circumstance and environment. Too many young men with superior educa- tions bold back and refuse to take an interest in politics. It is a sad mistake and out of keeping with the spirit bf arepublic. Many of them may urgue that Dick, Tom and Harry, men with no reputations, no attainments whatever, are occupying high politica! offices, and for that reason hold back. If these men occupy high places it is because the better educated young men stand back and refuse to go into politics. The tendency of the times ie, to put the most efficient men in office.’’ EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER of New York: ‘‘Young men should certainly take an interest in politics, but if they hold office when young they become professionals, and when turned out have no way to support themselves. First, they shouid become inde- pendent financially, and then if they wish to seek political advancement or office they can Go so without fear of the results. No poor young man can afford to become a profes- sional politician. Politics Is not a profession, and, generally speaking, the man who tries to make ita 1 unless he is wealthy and can afford the experiment, winds up dis- astrously. Taking an interest in politics and voting intelligently are duties that young men as well as old owe to their country. We have no political, permanent office- holding class as in England, and, therefore, young men should recognize in the beginning of their careers that a profession or business is far preferable to the uncertainties of office-seeking and political preferment.’’ COL. A. L. CONGER ot Ohio, member Republican National Com- mittee: It all young men could succeed in political life like Congressman William McKivley and Senator John Sherman I would take a delight in patting them on the shoulders and saving: Go in boys. You were born to succeed in polities. Ahl but the two men named are exceptions, and were started up the political ladder with such im- petus that they have never stopped climbin et. Why could take the lives o hese two eminent Ohioans and sing a political didactic threnody that would in- struct and be a model for young politicians to emulate. They are not professional politicians, but the people have 80 ny | recognized their distinguished ability that they continue them in office. The office has sought them; they have rot been office-seekers. Do not go into poli- tics, young men, unless you are caught in the maelstrom of popular favor and carried with such force that you feel assured it will con- tinue you in office for some years. Be inde- pendent financially it you think of pulling yourself into political fayor by the bootstraps of demagogism.’’ COL. GEORGE W. HOOKER of Vermont, member of the Republican Na- tional Committee: ‘‘This is my hobby, young men in politics as a profession, because it is not a profession so recognized, Lassert that young men are more moral, have more en- e and vim when they are politics than when they remain aloof. y should run for office when an gent ogg occurs and should grow up with the understanding that some day might be called upon to au im- t litical offices.

Ofcourse, there are exceptions all rules, and the successful politician rep- resents, perhaps, the one man in many thousands who has attempted and suc- ceeded.’’ 8 EX-SEORETART OF NAVY GEN. NATHAN GOFF of West Virginia: ‘‘Politics is a lottery; it ie opportunity and circumstance. Young men should remember these facts before attempt- ing.to force ene - Their first and main object in life should be to succeed in some legitimate business or profession, and then politics can come in asan after consider- ation. Often in the pursuit of business chances thrust themselves before you, and without knowin how or why you find yourself suddenly in _ politics and more or less successful. Politica must come to young men naturally in the course of eveats, and with this expectation every young man should take an interest in political ques- tions and ally himself with some great 1 Those who are on the fence are not generally called down, but left there, because neither party has any right to ignore their best young men for undecided and wavering ones. Make asuccess at something, and then think of politics and office holding as a profession.’’ CONGRESSMAN JOHN W. STEWART of Vermont: ‘‘Young men should not adopt politics as a profession, because it is not in- dependent. Ibelievethat in New York City and other very large cities politics is more or less a profession. he uncertainties of a political life are too great for young men to run anyrisks by premeditatedly adopting it as a mans of attaining a livelihood. Men who go into politics, asa rule, have accomplished something in their profession or business and can afford to take the chances of defeat. But it would be the height of 2 for a young man Ink of adopting 7 as a profession, unless he lived in New ork City. EX-SENATOR JOSEPH M’DONALD of Indiana, known as Old Saddle- bags“: ‘*Republics are said to be ungrateful, but politics is more so and has no cold charity to offer tothe defeated. Even when a man is successful in politics he finds it less remun- erative than any other profession. The pro- fessional politician is quite an anomaly in our republic, and his career is so precari- ous that my advice to young men is not to endeavor to emulate him. Success in politics, anyway, is largely due to circum- stances. Politica often thrusts itself upon a man, and, before he is scarcely aware of it, he is in the swim and borne on to success. Oftentimes easy success is the bait that causes one to try again, and the result is de- feat. Young men can study politics toadvan- tage and become better citizens, but to think ot becoming an officeholder ina professional way is not to be thought of, much less encour- aged.’’ EX-GOV. P. c. CHENEY of New Hampshire: ‘‘I would not advise any young man to go into politics. Where the political parties are so evenly divided and so many changes are liable to occur every four vears I think it would be rash for any young man tothink of politics as a profession. I know that there are some men who make a living out of politics, but, with the exception of afew, itisa precarious existence at best. We have so many callings that our young men could more profitably engagein that do not see what they can promise themselves by adopting politica as a profession. Vote in- telligently, understand politics, but do not try to live by it. EX-MAYOR JOHN A. ROCHE of Chicago: There is no zense, no satisfac- tion, no independence in politics, and to nearly every young manit is a snare and a delusion. I confess that I took a flyer in pol- itics and have had enough. I havea business that keeps me engaged and employs a num- ber of young men. As soon as I was elected Mayor two young men in my employ wanted to get small offices. I knew the uncertainty of a long ten- ure of office and advised them not to quit positions, that, although they did not pay as muchas the offices, would be more secure and more remunerative in the long run. One clerk agreed to remain, and is now getting a much larger salary, is rising, and is practically independent. The other took office. Iwas not re-elected, and he was asked to resign his office. To-day he is look- ing for work. Do not think of politics, young men, as a pursuit; it is the road to poverty. JOHN R. M’LEAN, editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer: ‘‘Why, a young man is insane to go into politicos. There is nothing to be gained and all to lose. Suc- cess inone or two instances is no security that for the rest of his natural life he may not score failures. Any profession or business is better, and will bring more contentment and more genuine happiness. The political office-seeker’s life is one strewn with shards and flints, and the young man who wilfully and premeditatedly selects politics as a pur- sult or calling has a mental structure that certainly should be inquired into dy the proper authorities. ° SENATOR ARTHUR P. GORMAN of Maryland: Polities is not a profession, and those who try to make it one signally fail intheend. I certainly think all young men should take a deep interest in politics and be prepared, ifthe exigencies arise, to assume responsibilities under the Government. The people govern in a republie, and therefore they should keep posted and under- staud current political questions, Young men should interest themselves in politics more than old men, because they will have to govern and uphold the institutions of the country some day. Much could be said to show why 38 men should study politics and yet not think of adopting it as a profes- sion. Often the most successful men in polit- ical life are those who had no idea of going into politics, but were compiled to do so through the force of circumstances.’’ CONGRESSMAN FREDERICK MILES of Connecticut: In England politics ts a profession, made so to keep in office the sons of rich men. In our repubiic politics as a profession would have in it such an element of uncertainty that it could not be followed, except by the wealthy. For this reason it should not be made a calling. It behooves us, though, to see to it that our youth are ed- ucated enough to understand and take an interest in politics. A good citizen, who loves his country and wishes to help perpetu- ate its institutions, should study politics and keep thoroughly posted on all political ques- tions. If our plan of holding Government office were similiar to that of England, then a few favored youths might be educated in pol- iticae as a profession. Our present plan is good enough, because it gives every citizen a chance to aspire, if the opportunity occurs.’’ EX-CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM WHITING of Massachusetts: ‘‘Before adopting politics as a profession a young man should pause and ask himself if he should fail to get office what would he have to fall back upon. Of course, if he is independent in worldly goods the ne- ceasity for pausing Would be superfluous. There are afew men who follow politics asa profession and have succeeded. These men, though, were sought by politics, soto speak, pecause of their eminent fitness, and they, as a rule, are not free from the cares and per- plexities of other vocations. Young men are the prop and stay of our og e and as such it is their duty to vote and know how they are voting. I would advise no one to go into politics; rather let it come to him.’’ SENATOR NELSON W. ALDRICH of Rhode Island: ‘‘Atime, doubtiess, will come, when we will desire young men to educate themselves for diplomatical service, especially the consalar branch of it, if it can be so classed. The many changes made every four years in our consular servicetend to weaken it, and retard our commercial rela- tions with foreign countries. Men with busi- ness tact and judgment should be made consuls, and not subjected tothe frequent changes of the present system. hy, as soon as a consul begins to learn his duties and is able to do d out he goes.

It has demoralized them and instead of going to work to earn their living in some other way they hang on from day to day, hoping ever that their turn will come next. It is simply sad to consider, and shows that politics as a profession is very discouraging. I do not intend to say that young men should not take an interest in politics, for they should in order to vote in- telligentiy and understand the questions at issue before the people. If civil service is perpetuated a professional class of office- seekers will be the natural consequence, and there will be much suffering and poverty among them.“ GEORGE 8.

At the head of the list, as first in importance as well as in Interest, I place THE HEAD OF CROMWELL, which, as comparatively few people know, Is still in existence. How this can be, when more than two bundred and thirty years have passed since the owner died, requires some explanation. ‘‘The greatest prince that ever ruled England, as Macaulay rightly calls bim, was buried in Westminster Abbey; where his mother and daughter, with other relatives and friends, had already been in- terred. Charles II. (‘‘who never said a fool- ish thing and never did a wise one’’) came to the throne he was unfit to occupy in 1660. On the first anniversary, after the Restoration, of the death of the then so-called „Blessed Martyr, his father, a mob of loyal and pious rufflans, acting under the King’s authority, if not by his ex- press command, invaded the abbeyfor the phrpose of removing therefrom the remains of all persons who had been prominently con- nected with the late Commonwealth. The vaults were broken open and a large number of corpses brought out and flung in a pille in Palace yard. But one Republican tomb was spared and that only on condition the tablet bearing name and epitaph should be turned to the wall—in which position it may be seen to-day. Allofthe bodies taken from the abbey were buried in s common pit with the exception of three, which were reserved for more emphatic insult and ignominy. These three were Cromwell, Ireton, his son-in-law, and Bradshaw, President of the High Court of Justice which tried and eondemned Charies I. Their corpses—or what was left of them— were placed upon hurdles, dragged through the streets of London to Tyburn, there banged bythe neck for several hours, then taken down and beheaded. The trunks were thrown into a hole dng beneath the gallows (which is supposed to have stood very near where now stands the Marble Arch in Hyde Park) and the heads fixed upon poles over the main entrance to Westminster Hall. So much is history. Nowfor the tradition which has, I thimk, enough proofto make it quite as trustworthy as most history. Ina terrific storm which occurred some years later Cromwell’s head was blown down. It was night, andthe sentry on guard at the time picked up the moldering shrine of a mighty brain carried it home and concealed it. How many hands it passed through afterwards is not known, but it is now—or was not long since—in possession of a family named Williams; which, by the way, was THE ORIGINAL NAME OF THE CROMWELLS. It is not on public exhibition, but has at dif- ferent times undergone most oareful and critical examination by anatomists and anti- quarians; all of whom, I believe with scarcely an exception, were convinced of its authen- ticity. ‘The sha of the cranium and face corresponds with the standard portraits of Cromwell. Flaxinan, the celebrated sculptor, before seeing the head, enumerated the vari- satisfy himself. He found them all. A young man who happened to visit Flaxman’s studio was noticed to have the same facial formation as the head; and 8 developed the fact that he belonged to a branch of the Pro- tector’s family. Cromwell was embalmed, while Ireton and Bradshaw were not. The head shows unmistakable evidences of the embalming process. For several days before his death mwell refused to be shaved, and a partly grown beard is observable upon the withered cheeks of the decapitated head. The spot on the forenead where the famous wart was located is marked by a small hole, as if an excresence of some sort had been cut or burned out. And, finally, apart of the oaken pole, or spear staff, which held the head over the entrance of Westminster Hall, ous 8 which he should require to pole having been inserted just behind the chin and driven upward until it came out through the top of the skull. The case was exhaustively discussed in the London Times and elsewhere fifteen years ago, and the balance of opinion decidedly favored the Cromwellian — 2 * And the latest biographer of Cromwell, Mr. Frederic Harrison—one of the most eritieal of criticsa— speaks of that theory with at respect as, if notactually proven, yete mely probable. Of course the head may have sat _ ess illus- trious shoulders than those of the Lord Pro- tector of the English Commonwealth, to whom Milton addressed the splendid verse which contains the familiar line, Peace hatn her victories no less renowned than war. But 1 believe it to be the head of Oliver Cromwell. Nextin order, of course, should be men- tioned THE HEAD OF CHARLES I., tor whose benefit ‘‘the immortal rebel hewed the throne toa block. The remains of the dead king were treated with all gw oy re- spect by the men who sent him to the scatf- fold; they having no desire to vent their righteous wrath on senseless clay. The body was carefully embalmed immediately after the execution and taken to Windsor for inter- ment. This took place on the 19th of Febru- ary, three weeks after the final scene in front of Whitehall palace; the spot selected being a vault in the center of the quire of the rosal 9822 which already held the dust of He VIII. and Jane Seymour. The outer wooden cof- fin bore these words only, King Charles, 1648. Some fo years later, during the reign of William III., the vault was opened to raceive one ot the numerous children of Princess (afterward Queen) Année, and then more than a century before there was another the burial of the Duchess of reopening for .
