Open Violations of Its Stipulation By the Sultan—The French Expedition to the Tuat Oasis What the Movement Means—Ite Importance to Morocco— British Interests Jeopardized—Some- thing of the People Who Inhabit It and Its Geographical Position. GIBRALTAR, Jan. 2.—To-day’s news from Tangier, the diplomatic capital of the empire of Morocco, indicates that new difi- culties now harass Sultan Muley Hassan. He bas a war on hand with France, but the latest trouble is in the nature ofa revolt of some of his subjects in the vicinity of Tangier. Matters in Morocco have been in a tur- bulent condition for some time past. In November last news reached Tangier from Fez, the principal city of the country and its real capital, that all the Morocco —. and court™ad been dismissed in disgrace. Among the jallen was Mula! Ismain, the gultan’s favorite brother. He for several years held the Khalifaship of his brother— that is to say, he formed a sort of supreme court ofappeal to whom all cases already decided by the local Governors could be re- ferred. Exceptingthe Sultan and the va- rious heads of the Sheerlfan families, the Khalifa was the only man from whom the nobility of Morocco thought they could ac- cept judgment without derogatfon. No rea- son was known for his disgrace, but it was thought it was the result of a court intrigue. He had many friends among the upper classes and among the tribesmen, and it may be his dismissalis the cause of the present trouble. It was said by some of the natives at the time of his exile from Fez that Mulal Ismain was the instigator of a plot to depose his brother and to take the throne himself. This affords a basis for a conjecture that the rebellion now in progress in the vicinity of Tangier may perhaps bean attempt to carry out the plans of the alleged conspirators. ‘The British authorities are taking prompt and energetic stepsto protect Brit- ish interests in Morocco. One of the impor- tant points in that country in possession of the British is Cape Juby. It was reported some time since that the British had deter- mined to avandon this place, but it was later stated that they had no intention of doing so. On the contrary, it was deciared that they were actively engaged in fortifying the sta- on and were about to establish a Governor’s residence, withthe object of improving the trade relations with the desert tribes.” ~~” THE SLAVE TRADE. For some time the attention of Europe has been directed to Morocco, owing to the weil authenticated reports of Muley Hassan’s abrogation of the treaty of Brussels by the terms of which he was bound to abolish the slave trade in his dominions. According to the reports of the French and Spanish Ministers at Tangiers Muley Hassan has repudiated tis own indorsement of the irussels agreement by authorizing the sale of negroes in his Empire. Moreover, it has been discovered that the Sultan of Morocco has countenanced the foundation of a settlement at Marakesch, one of the imperial residences, in which * @ male and. female slaves brought zvom the inteMor are compelled to marry, in order that the children born of these unholy unions may be sold for the Sultan’s benefit. In fact, slaves are being bred in Morocco in much the same fashion as borses., Europe cannot tolerate so grossa violation of its decisions, and all the signa- tory powers seem virtually in accord as to the necessity of an expedition. Although the Sultan is fond of boastingthat Moroceo is stronger than Europe, he knows well enough that barbarism must always and everywhere give place in the long run to civilization. Should the contemplated expedition be or- dered France will take advantage of the op- portunity of settling the issues relating to Tuat with Muley Hassan, THE TROUBLE WITH FRANCE. The reason why Muley Hassan wants to keep possession of the Oasis of Tuat is be- cause that fertile spotison the desert route ofthe slave caravans in which he has so large aninterest. In November last a French expedition was sent out from Tiemen, on the eastern frontier of Algeria, to Tuat, a dis- tance of over 500 miles, in order to prevent the occupation of that country by the Sultan of Morocco, The Oasis of Tuat isa fertile littie strip along the Wady Saura. The name, however, is extended to half a dozen oases in that region, stretching from the Gourara inthe horth to the Touareg country in the east andthe great sandy waste of Igidi in the west. The result of the expedition is not yet known, but there is good reason to believe that it will be successful. In 1860 the people of Tuat began to fear that France's rage to possess hew lands would soon embrace their own ceuntry. They therefore sent a present of 10,000 francs and twenty young negresses to the Sultan of Morocco, and prayed that he take their land under his protection. His Shereeflan Highness was also their spiritual suzerain, and he now promised to make their fertile oases, which commercially form the most important center of the whole Sahara a parto!t his dominions, The new politica reiationship, however, proved to be merely nominal. or years the Sultan did not even take the trouble to send envoys to collect ‘axes, which ts conclusive proof that he did not seriously think of annexing the oases. He was prolific in promises, but did nothing, In 1886, however, the people of Tuat having become alarmed again on account of the gradual extension of the French frontier to the South, sent another mission to the Sultan reminding him that Te was their soverign, and demanding that he take steps to protect them against France. He accordin y sent envoyas,to the country, collected tribute from fll the families, ana promised to expend the inoney in protecting Tuat from the French. This proceduré has been repeated anaually, | much to the uneasiness of F Giscovered it.

The people believed bis as- sertion that he was an envoy from a power- ful sheikh further west, and thathe was himself of tllustrious lineage. The common people crowded around to kiss the hem of his garments, and they told of the marvelous cures he had wrought, and even asserted that he had given sight to the biind. Ten ears later Soleillet, approaching the country rom the north, was turned back. He tried in vain to secure admittance. The ple are chiefly of Berber extraction, with a considerable intermixture of Arab, Touaregand negro elements, and, though they are most hospitable to all Mohamme- dans, their fierce hatred of the white race, chiefiy on religious grounds, has lopg made them an apparently impassavie Darrier against the extension of white enterprises across the desert. AFFAIRS IN CHINA. THE PEKIN GOVERNMENT UNABLE TO CARRY OUT ITS DECREES. Lonpown, Jan.2.—It is authoritatively stated this afternoon that the diplomatic situation in regardto the outrages on Europeans in China is about asfollows: The Powers have for six Months past been in general agree- ment to leave the matter in the hands of their ministers in Pekin, subjectto the con- dition that no warlike steps were to be taken without full discussion and agreement among the governments at home. The ministers have reported from time to time most tavorably of the attidude and language of the Chinese Government. The latter promised ample re- dress, and so far as money is concerned this promises has been carried out. The Pekin au- thorities h@ve kept their promises as far as they could; they have got the Emperor to issue an unusually vigorous decree and have sent peremptory orders to the local authori- ties in connection with the outbreaks. But the officials in the provinces have not re- sponded in a like spirit and herein lies the great difficulty. Pekin promises to do and does vigorously all that is demanded by the foreign Ministers, but unfortunately this has no salutary effect. Itis felt to be impossible to act with vigilance towards a government which does with more or less alacrity allitisasked todo. The European Powers have now satisfied themselves of the complicity of a number of the local Mandarins of high position inthe dissemination of in- flammatory literature and in the creation of riots. Accordingly, formal demands have been made tothe Chinese Government for the punishment of nearly a score of these. IN A PEACEFUL WAY. FRANCE AND BULGARIA WILL TRY TO AVERT WAR—RELIGIOUS MATTERS. Paris, Jan 2.—Political affairs in France have assumed a more cheering and pacific aspect. Itis saidthat the Franco-Bulgarian quarrel is about to be settled in a diplomatic way. M. Stambouloff, Bulgarian Premier, rumor has it, will offer an apology for his basty and undiplomatic ceurse, in expelling the French journalist from Bulgarian soll, although he positively declines to allow the Ilatter to return to Bulgaria. As a further amende, the Premier will pledge his Govammmnsnaindutuseteveier-arerenitay offenses, should such occur, to the French diplomatic ayent at Sofia for adjudication. In religious matters there is stilla clouc of trouble hanging over the country. M, Fallieres, the Ministerof Public Works, has seen fit to stop the salary of the Bishop of Carcassone, because the’ lat- ter visited Rome in his official capacity without obtaining permission to do so fromthe Minister of Public Works. As there is good reason to believe that the bishop paid this visit to Rome under the im- pression that he had the right to do so and had never heard of M. Fallieres’ order, is- sued during the Pantheon disturbances in mission from the French Government, more than probable that the present clerical difficulty will soon be smoothed over and relations between the civil and clerical fac- tions will assume a more amicable char- acter, IN EAST AFRICA. THE COUNTRY TO BE DEVELOPED BY ENGLAND AND PORTUGAL. LONDON, Jan. 2.—It is learned to-day on excellent authority that an arrangement is n progress between England and Portugal which if successfully carried out will go far to solve all the difficulties between the two countries ih East Africa. It is obvious that Portugal will never of herself be able to do anything to develop her territory in East Africa, and little hope is entertained that the chartered companies which are being floated will be able to do anything without the help of British capitalists. Itis asserted in this connection that Lord Salisbury is hopeful that he may come to aM arrangement with the Portuguese oy which East Africa will be administered and develop®d jointly by the two Governments. The advantage of such an arrangement to Portugal is obvious and the probability is that many of the dimcul. ties which now face the British South Africa Co. would be cleared away. Communication with the Kast Coast would be establishen without loss of time, and that probably, hot nly from the mouth of the Pungwe, but on the north ofthe Zampbesi from the Ooast— from the Bay of Iboto Lake Nyasa—as to the railway across the Mozambique company’s territories to Mashonaland a party is on its way out to begin operations. RUSSIA’S FAMINE, STARTLING STATISTICS GATHERED BY M. LEVAS- SEUR—RELIEF IMPOSSIBLE. - Paris, Jan, .2.—Mr. Levasseur, the famous French statistician, has recently published some statistics in regard to the Russian fam- ine, which are not new, but ofa startling character so far as the extent of that terrible calamity is concerned. Among many other interesting facts which he discloses is to be found in the statement that to relieve the deficiency of foodin thirteen of the famine districts it would require the importation from abroad of 862,128,000 bushels of grain, which at a reas: onable estimate wou!d cost $800,000,000. M. Levasseur says thatthe areaof the famine districts is so immense and the facilities of transportation so lamentabiy deficient that practical relief to the district is im possible. COMING TO THE FAIR. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 2.—Fourteen firms in St. PetersBurg have announced their inten- tion of sending exhibitstothe World’s Oo- lumbian Exhibition at Chicago in 189. Their exhibits will consist chiefly of carriages, jewelry, silver enameliing, furs and spirits. The society of Russian ladies who sent ex- hibits to the Moscow exhi will send to Chicago a large 4nd interesting collection of lace, fancy work and gold, silver and silk embroideries Book Store Burned.

He Gives His Impressions of the People of England and America. MILLIONAIRES AND ARISTOCRATS WITH TITLES COMPARED. The Women of Yankee Land Mentally and Physically Superior to Those of Great Britain—Tory Plans for Legislation in Parliament-A Pilea for Delay in the General Elections—Watching Experi- ments in the American Navy. LONDON, Jan. 2.—The Duke of Marlborough takes qulet revenge on the British people whohave been unkind to his American Duchess by an article in a new review pub- lished to-day. This article compares the condition of life in England and America, particularly dealing withthe position of the aristocracy of America, as compared with the titular aristocracy of England. Any En- glish Duke, writes Marlborough, may be toadied by a few costermongers or local cler- gemen, butan American millionaire holds a species of court in Wall street or on the Ohi- cago Exchange; his orders are things to be feared, Taken as a whole, Mariborough believes that, though the pleasures of life to the work- ing classes in America are not so varied as they are in Europe, people are infinitely happier, though they work twice as hard. Writing of the continual scramble of Amer- ican giris for titled Britishers, the Duke says that Trans-Atlantic belles a long time hankered after the glories of British institu- tions with their lordly mansions, broad estates and emblazoned coats of arms. Americans, he sdys,'can not spend their wealthathome,. Sons of rich men are not content to stay there; they go backwards and forwards from London to Paris; they live in Bond street and Rue Pais; they are the joy of | hatel keepers, but they must be deadly bored themselves. Wild sport, country homes, Scotch moor race meetings. and the New- market, which they find in England, they would like to have in America, and they will undoubtedly create all these things. It is clear, says the Duke, thatinthe not distant future America will be possessed of a repre- sentative class of landed merchant no- bles who will vie in luxury and “in wealth with anything thatthe Old World ever produced, and that artistic riches in pictures, in furniture and in works of art which have been so enhanced in value in the nineteenth century, will be raised by Ameri- can niillionaire buyers of another generation to most fabulous proportions. Marlboro | Optmnidhs Of American commerce, American railways, American homes and American clubs. Here’s what he says about American women: ‘‘The American womanis perhaps the most different thingin America to any- thingin England. She has natural quickness for appreciating the characters around her. She takes Infinitely more trouble and in some respects greater interest all round than Eng- lish women display. Child-bearing does not seem to crush evorything else out of them as it does with: all classes in England. The bright, cheery girl remains gay and care- fully dressed. The married women is always trying to show herself off quietly to the best advantage, and she understands the art per- fectly. Among all classes of people in middle age and even laterin life she seems to pre- serve perennial interestin everything around her. Shedoes not grow old mentally as so many English women do. The tendency to nagging and gossip-mongering of an Iill- natured character is rarer in that country than in England.’’ In fact throughout the entire article the Duke hits straight from the shoulder. When it gets copied intothe newspapers and has time to percolate through the country the Duke willcomein forasound wigging from British dames. COBDEN’S DAUGHTER. A WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT WHICH SURPRISES LONDON—CLUB GOSSIP. Lorpor, Jan. 2.—Jane Uobden’s engage- mentto Ediles Fisher, announced to-day, has taken London Dy surprise. Miss Cobden is the daughter of Richard Cobden. She in- hérited her father’s political creed to the full. Her special work has beenin woman’s rights, striving by every means to obtain suffrage for hersex. Three years ago Miss Cobden was elected a member ofthe London Country Council forthe Bow and Broomley constituency, where woman’s rights are strongly upheld. Lady Sandhurst, who was elected toa similar position, had a Ditter opponentin Lord Beresford. He contested her election and she was completely ousted from the council. Miss Cobden, through a singular anomaly, was allowed to remain a member but could not vote or take an active part in the doings of that body. Miss Cobden is a re- fined, strong woman, about %yearsold. She is not handsome, but very attractive. Her hair is white, and has been for years, which gives hera striking appearance, She often speaks at political meetings, especially those of the Woman's Libera! Federation, of which Mrs. Gladstone is President. She reads her speeches from notes; is earnest and winning, though not magnetic. Though by no means a society woman Miss Cobden is well known in West End society, where advanced thinkers congregate. Fisher publishes the Century Magazine in Engiand and has been for years a tower of strength in the National Liberal Clab. Mis ascent of the Matterhorn last sum- mer is oneofthe most perilous Alpine feats. on record, The wedding is to take place early next month. : It seems to be quite understood that neither Hurlburt nor Mrs. Osborne will be captured. In both cases the judicial authorities are to blame. If Justice Denman had at once issued a werrant against Mrs. Osborne for ury she would now have been in custody. the Public Prosecutor had taken little less time tomake up his mind about Hurlburt it is probable Wilfred Murray would have de- clared himself.

Lonrpor, Jan, 2.—MNow that the introduc- tion, at all events, Ofthe Irish local govern- meat bill isas certailm as any evont of the next session of nent, which meets Feb. 9, can be, the objectors to the bill are actually demagaging that next session shall not be the lasfof. this*Parliament.

The Right Hon. William Lawless Jackson, the new Secretary for Ireland, will have charge of the Irish local government biil, and will give the earliest possible notice of its introduction. The Right Hon. Henry Chaplin, the Presi- dent of the Board of Agriculture, will ex- plain the merits of the small holdings bill, which will ¢mpowerthe Public Works Loan Commissioners to raise the sum of £5,000,000 for the purpose of the act. The Rt. Hon. O. P. Ritchie, the President of the Local Government Board, will have his district councils bill ready, which will apply to London as wellas the country, generally. The Government intends to press the bills quickly to a second reading and to refer them atan early date tothe Grand Committee on Law. The Rt. Hon. George J. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has falied again; and it Is now generaily believed that his currency bill will be prepared, offered to Parliament, and laid aside, the scheme being virtually dropped. ‘‘I would rather havea guinea than a pound note,’’ the refrain of a very old song, has been revived in some of the London music halls on account of his bill. Mr. Goschen’s political future is a matter of interesting specniation among his friends. The question of the Conservative leadership has now been settled adversely to himself, and itis very much doubted whether he will sitasa commoner in the next Parliament. It is likely, however, that before Lord Salis- bury relinquishes power, Mr. Goschen will be madea Viscount, with aname taken from the locality of his Kentish estate. There are evidences that the Liberals will be obliged to seriously debate the question of an eight-hour day plank in their platform whether they like the idea or not. Mr. Ben- jamin Pickard, M. P., for Normanton, York- shire, is loudly denouncing the lethargy of his fellow-Liberals in neglecting the labor vote, of which he claims to be a representa- tive. He declares that the result of the deliberations of the miners’ meeting Thurs- day at Barnslew will be the defection of 50,000 miners who have for the last ten years steadily supported the Liberal party, unless something is done to convince these men that their interests are not to be disregarded by the party. This warning has greatly alarmed the Liberal leaders, who are anxiously con- sulting their trusted adviser, Mr. Schnad- horst, as to what course it is best to pursue. There is no doubt that Mr. Pickard voices a feeling of distrust among the Northern miners. WATCHING PROGRESS. EUROPE’S EYES ON THE NAVAL EXPERIMENTS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. Lonrpon, Jan. 2.—The St. James Gazette, T6- ferring to the improvements made in the United States Navy, says that in spite of Sc- casional mistakes, the Americans are making steady and surprising progress towards be- coming a great naval power, adding: ‘‘There is not the,smaliest doubt of their ability to do so.’’ Thereds no doubt that the new United States navy is attracting much earnest at- tention in Europe, and the result of the gun trials of the double turreted monitor Mian- tonomah are being closely watched here. The new United States cruiser New Yorx is also being much commented upon, andit is an open secret that it was her advent into the naval world which ied to the determination ! mn i i the New York’s battery power is superior that of the Blake, The batteries of that sliip and of her sister vessel, the Blenheim, cona- sist for each vessel of two 9.2-inch breech- loading rifles, ten: 6-inch rapid fire guns, three 6-inch Hotchkiss rapid fire guns and two machine guns. ; To oppose this battery according to the fiz- ures quoted here, the New York will have six 8-inch breech-loading rifles, twelve 4-inch rapid-fire gains, six 6- pounder rapid-fire guns, rap- id-fire guns of small caliber and f machine guns. Consequently the New York’s six 8-inch guns will throw 1,270 pounds of metal ata discharge against the 760 pounds thrown from the two 9.2-inch guns of either the Blake or Blenheim. BEHRING SEA. THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION TO’ BEGIN WORK AT WASHINGTON. LONDON, Jan, 2.—Sir George Baden Powell will return to Washington next week, for the purpose of drawing up the report pf the Behring Sea Commission, It wil) be made jointly by the commissioners of Canada, Great Britain and the United States, and will be submitted to the court of arbitration, It is is expected that the body will be appoifited the latter part of this month. It will be com- posed entirely of jurists, and will not, of course, De in any sense a political tribunal. The suggestion that {t should include an expert in natural history amongst its mem- bers is not likely to be ddopted, but evidence as tothe habits and natural history of the seals will be given before it. In this connec- tion the photographs made by Dr. Dawson of the seal nursery upon the seal isiands will be valuable documents. Copies of them are‘ now at the British Colonial Office, and are most curious and imstructive. The young seals areto be seen covering the shores in dark masses which stretch for many hun- dreds of yards inland, In one place only the young *‘pups,’’ as they are called, were found dead in considerable numbers. The cause of death does not seem to have been satisfactorily ascertained. IRISH NATIONALISTS. SEXTON ARIVAL OF DILLON FOR LEADERSHIP— THT CASTLE EXPLOSION. DUBLIN, Jan. 2,—Irish Nationalists are still suffering from @issensions in thelr ranks. Mr. Sexton has loomed up as a formidable rival to Mr. Dillon asthe leader of the Irish patriots. Mr. Sexton, so his friends claim, has displayed great political tact in keeping himself free from the political squabbles and consequent bitter hatredin which Timothy Healy and Wm. O’Brien have been mixed up. The result is that Sexton now has astrong hoid on his party associates, besides which the Irish clergy, it is said, are willing to throw their powerful influence in his behalf. No outsiders are allowed in the Dublin Castle to-day and it isa very hard matter to obtain accurate information as to the results of the investigation which is being carried on by the authorities to ascertain the exact na- ture of the explosion. The theory of an ex- plosion of gas was effectually disposed of to- day. The gentlemen who are conducting the investigation in examining the beams sup- porting the floor directly over the cellar where the explosion occurred found that a number of small pieces of metal had been deeply embedded in the timbers. This is evi- dence’ beyond question that the explosive,” whatever it may have been,;; was’ {2 @& injunction suit from the Court of Common Pleas, No. 8, to the State Supreme Court.’’ IN THE TENNESSEE MINES.

Sax AnwTontro, Tex., Jan. 2.—The Mexican government has offered a reward of $300,000 for Garra’s head, but will hardly get him. Bo far the Mexicans have killed over a hun- dred men on suspicion of being revolution- » ists, and this has tended to drive other niranchers to join the revolt. ~ people revolted and every priest has been At Pveblo the arrested. The Texas Rangers are rendering good \ gervice on the border in the time of the pres- gent trouble with the Garza revolutionists,as ig shown bya dispatch received here this evening by D. J. McNeill from his father, Capt. J. L. McNeill, of the Ranger force. The dispatch gives an account of another despe- rate encounter that bas just taken place} with the Garsa men. Capt.

Women of questionable character are allowed to stay among the soldiers over night, making these hallisa great deal more immoral than the vilest bagnios imaginable. In some of these quarters sleep from sixty to 500 men. Besides all these cruelties, the Mexican sol- Gier is a prisoner during his entire five years offorced enlistment and is never allowed out of doors without a strong guard to keep him trom deserting. A many of the soldiers are convicts who have been sentenced by Mexican tribunals for a term exceeding five years, and what is worse yet many officers are also convicts who ae h some hook or crook have been pro- mo e . FEARED BY DIAZ. THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT FEELS THAT THE REVOLT 18 SERIOUS, LONDON, Jan. 2.—A personal letter received here froman official highin the esteem of the Diaz government inthe City of Mexico throws new light on the existing trouble, The letter reads: **Youask does the Mexican Government fear the Garza movement?’’ It does. Presi- Gent Diazis not popular with the masses. Diaz rules with an iron hand.- He does not consult his Ministry or his Congress but makes and repeals laws at his pleasure. In Mexico there is no politics. Diazrules. The people are not satisfied with the state of affairs and were they in a position to ado so, they would join Catarina Gargzato day. Diaz knows this and fears it. Every company, Mexican Army no the Me I speak of Garza, but noone believes him to ~ Ra Rg SRE address an pular, a r. When the time are in ists. As to t cannot speak there is no question that Diaz is conside ag an enemy to Catholicism, being the leader liberal party.’’ GAROIA NOT DEAD. THE RUMOR OF THE ASSASSINATION OF GER. GARCIA DENIED.

Under numerous headlines and date of **Valparaiso, Jan.1,’’ the Globe-Democrat and the Republic yesterday printed 4 col- umn each of Chilian news (7). The cable dispatch in each instance opens with these announcements: | The United States gunboat, Yorktown, arrived here on Nov. 8. She sa- luted the Ohilian flag and ailso the Admiral of the German squadron on epter- ing port. She anchored close to the Baltimore, about a mile off shore, Her com- mander, Capt. Evans, intends to send his men ashore on liberty within a few days. Then follows an absorbingly interest- ing account of how the Baltimore is hav- ing her keel scraped. Sympathetic read- ers of the graphic account doubtless shared in imagination the luxurious experience with the man-of-war, and they will be grieved to learn that their sensibilities have been trified with. The fact is the Baltimore is docked at San Francisco, Oal., and is not having her bottom scraped in Valparaiso harbor, The further fact is that whatis printed as cable news from Valparaiso of Jan. 1 by the Globe- Democrat and Republic yesterday was printed in the SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH four weeks ago. It is not what it purports to be. Were it not for the jour- nalistic policy to which we are solemnly committed of minding our own business such newspaper methods would offer to us @ subject for some remarks. DINNER-TABLE WARRIORS. A curious outbreak of rhetorical militar- ism has taken place since the beginning of the Chilian complications, which sounds strangely in the ears of those who have supposed the United States stood for peace, and would pay any price for it save honor. Gen. Hokacr PoRTER’s plea for a ‘*‘war now and then’’ is {substantially the argument advanced by Lord WoLsELEY and other warriors who have seen little of war. According to the dinner-table fight- ers, waris the nursery of patriotism. It keeps alive the love of country which dis- tinguishes nearly all prosperous and suc- cessful nations. It is the means by which peoples climb to influence and acquire power of which they may be proud. While it is only half a truth, and the worse half. A war is justifiable only to secure or save rights which are threatened. Nations grow in these days not so much at the cost of their neighbors as by the honest devel- opment of their mental and moral resources and by increasing the stock of useful things which promote prosperity. War impairs the world’s material and moral capital, and no good can come of it that is not balanced by anevil. No nation should indulge in it except upon compulsion. It is not necessary to speak of lives lost and homes destroyed. Those are not the most hideous consequences. Great wars are usually followed by a period of sut- tlers’ morality. Our civil war, righteous as it is probably considered by most of us, left a legacy of corruption which is to-day threatening the very existence of free in- stitutions. It was the jobbers’ oppor- tunity and the opportunity is not yet ex- hausted. It left behind a monstrous sys- tem of taxation which is now cunningly manipulated in the interest of a privileged few with whom patriotism is food for cynics’ jests. We had ourwar. We are now suffering some of the consequences. Let us have no unnecessary war with the Chilians. Let them keep their nitrate beds. If we have cause to complain let us reason with them as sensible men do and settle the quarrel decently. This is the policy of avilization, the counsel of morality and enlightenment. SCHOOL KNOW-NOTHINGISM. ‘*A Friend of the Public Schools’’ solemnly warns the PosTt-DIsPaToH that the education of the youth of this country involves a question which strikes at the very root of the tree of American liberty, and that the Post-DISPATCH must show its friendship for the Public Schools, the palladium of our free institutions, by help- ing him to destroy the Catholic schools as deadly foes of the tree aforesaid. The help required isthe republication of what va- rious eminent Catholic writers have said against Catholic schools and colleges in ef- forts to improve or change their methods. Now, in the first place, the Post-Dis- PATCH is a newspaper, and the matter with which he proposes to fill its columns, to the exclusion of news, is old, very old. He claims that the original publication of this matter wrought no improvement in the Catholic schools, and he wants it re- published now only to arouse public senti- ment against them as malicious and dan- gerous rivals of the public schools, and as nurseries of sentiments hostile to American liberty. In the always declined to go into the business of demolishing any schools which area con- siderable part of the active educational machinery of thecountry. It recognises the purpose and the ability of denomina- tional schools, Catholic or Protestant, as much to the cause of public education, We fear none of them, and we indignantly well as of the public schools, to contribute ing American youth for an intelligent, honest and patriotic performance of the duties of American citizenship, and in such a work as that, while hindering none, we would trust the public schools to survive as the fittest. The others are sus- tained only by those who want them, and who are willing to pay extra for them while contributing equally with all other citizens to the support of the public schools. There can be no worse way of befriend- ing the public school system than by mak- ing ite interests and safety dépend ona successful revival of Know-nothingism. A very small minority of the American peo- ple are moved by the foolish fear or sec- tarian animosity which regards any Amer- icam organization of Christians as hostile to American institutions. The most vicious blow struck at the root of American lib- erty, or at the welfare of our non-secta- rian State school system in recent times, is found in that legislation which was en- acted in some States for the suppression of Lutheran or other denominational schools— to deprive parents of their natural right to provide extra schools of their own choos- ing for their children at their own expense, American liberty was instituted for the protection of all creeds and is guaranteed to all alike. The framers of our great charter based it upon the fundamental truth that no religious creed or church organization is its enemy, or should be made its enemy by the application of any religious test in the administration of civil affairs. The Post-DisPaTcH has un- faltering faith in that doctrine, as applied to schools and to every affair of public concern controlled by the people at the ballot-box. ee WoOMEN are important factors nowadays in the practical work of the world. They take an intelligent interest and an active part in the development of science and literature, the advancement of education, the improvement of social conditions, the organization of charities, the inauguration of reforms and nearly all the progressive movements of society. It is in recognition of this fact that the Sunpay Post-Dis- PATCH will devote a part of its woman’s page to recording the labors and concerns of women outside of the home. The notes of fashion, the suggestions for the house- hold and the chit-chat of the drawing- room are good enough in their places. They fill a part of every woman's life, but they do not embrace all that in- terests intelligent women. The news of woman’s work in the SuNDAY Post-DiIs- PATCH will be worth the attention of all women. me THE absurd report that President HAR- RISON will recommend to Congress a declaration of war against Chili is false on the face of it. ~No doubt the gang who now control the administra- tion—the gang of Republican business mén who are always on the make—would wel- come war and have done what they could to precipitate it. There are unlimited job- bing possibilities in war. Besides the pro- tected plutocrats would favor it because it would necessitate a halt in the policy of economy proposed by the Fifty-second Congress. But all these influences go for nothing against the Democratic majority in the House. Ifthere isto be a declara- tion of war it must rest upon grounds more just than jobbers’ wishes. ——— 3 PREMIER MERCIER of Quebec will have considerable difficuity in his propaganda of independence now that he has been so thoroughly smirched, for there seems to be . no doubt that the Tories have caught him in corrupt transactions. He has posed for years as a patriot, butif his patriotism is for revenue only he cannot long retain his influence after being found out, even in Canada. The French Canadians had under his leadership acquired a position in Do- minion affairs analogous in many respects to that won by the Irish in the English Parliament under PARNELL, and by the fall of the leader they lose much that they had toiled for, justas the Irish did when PARNELL fell before temptation. THE newspapers of Kansas City have re- vived the story of the kiss that Parti gave ex-Gov. ORITTSNDEN in this city, ,obutin re- counting it tney make ita commonplace and unpoetic affair.

With a‘strong, active, penetrating and well- disciplined mind he combines a singularly passioniess temper. He has no vices. We might almost say he has no appetites. He drinks no wine. He does not use tobacco. He cares nothing for excite- ments. He is indifferent to entertain- ment except such as diligent - work can give. He has no family cares to distract his mind, no social entanglements to make exactions on his time or strength. Ue cares nothing for money and has no trace of that love forease which is the enemy of work with tne majority of men.

Louis - : LARA L. The Cathedral, often called the French Cathedral, on Walnut street, between Second and Third streets, is the oldest church in this city. It was erected in 1834, on the same ground occupied by the old log church, built by the early settlers, What is the difference, if any. between a Jacobite and a Jacobin? HISTORY. There isa very decided difference between a Jacobite anda JacobDin; in fact, the two parties had nothing but humanity in com- mon. The term Jacgbites was applied to the adherents of the Stuarts after the abdication of James IlI., the followérsof the old and of the young pretender. The name is derived from the Latin word Jacobus, the synonym for James. The Jacobins were the extreme party during the French revolution, the fol- lowers of Marat and Robesplerre. The name is derived from the fact that the society’held its early meetings in the church of the Jacobins, in the Rue St. Jacques, in Paris. Can you tell me the significance of the term ‘‘the curse of (romwell!"’ A. 3. The expression ig one used principally amongthe Irish. [Its derivation is as fol- lows: After Oliver Cromwell bad overthrown the royal power In England, arebellion broke out in Ireland. The great Protector with his troops crossed to Ireland and made short work of his oppofients, using very severe measures. Heconcludedthat the only way in which Ireland coula@ be permanently paci- fied was to remove all Irishmen. He accord- ingly inaugurated a system of wholesale de- portation supplying the place of the exiles with colonists drawn principally from among his soldiers. Before the work was com- pleted the Protector died. So great was the terror which he inspired that to invoke the. ‘*curse of Cromwell’’ upon an enemy passed into a proverb. ee Please decide the following dispute.

' **Aaron Burr’s Conspiracy and Trial’’ is the title of an article in Harper’s Magazine for January. It is fairly good, but nothing more; and I should be sorry to think that any re- porter onthe Post-Disratca could not, ata week’s notice, write a much better one. For instance, carelessness or igmorance is the only explanation of such a sentence as this: ‘*Burr’s only child, his accomplished daugh- ter, Theodosia, the wife ofa South Carolina planter,’’ etc. Probably Joseph Alston was a planter, as very many gentlemen in South Carolina were in those days and sirice, but he was also Governor of the State—a fact which the reader is entitled to know. But I intend to use the article only as a peg on whichto hang a short story, suggested by the mention of Theodosia; a story which came tome first thrice, told tale, The late Miss Theodosia Burr Davis of New York was a dear friend of mine in the long, long ago days. The niece and ward of Matthew L. Davis, the intimate associate and biographer of Burr, she hada store of anecdotes of men who figured prominently in national affairs seventy or eighty years Since; but this one—which I shall repeat as nearly as possible in her @Wn words—linter- ested me most of all: **Il wasa school girl of 4, spending a short vacation at Uncle Matthew’s house in the city, when one day I heard him calling to me from the hall below and went to the head of the stairs. ‘Come down,’ he said, ‘there isa gentleman here who wishes to see you.’ I hesitated—held back by some undefinable fear. Again he said, ‘Come down,’ and in such tones that I dared not disobey. He led me into the parlér, and there on the sofa satan old man whom I had never before seen. Very old he looked, dressed in the costume of the last century, with his snow-white hair drawn back and tied in a queue behind. But his eyes, they were not old; large, dark and deep, they flashed with all the fire of youth. I never saw such eyes in man or woman. They fascinated while they frightened me. My uncle led me forward and said: ‘Col. Burr, thisis the child of whom Ispoke. I need not tell you whose name she bears.’ The old man rosé, took my hands inhis and held me out at arms length and looked at me—looked at me with those eyes which seemed to see into my very soul. Only amoment, butthe moment wasan hour. Then he dropped my hands, and exclaimed in a voice trembling with emotion: ‘Take her away, Matthew, take her away! I cannot bear it!’ I saw him only once afterward; it was on Broadway, andIitriedto slip by him unperceived. But when I turned to look back he was standing still, following me with those wonderful, wonderful eyes. They haunt me still; and will, I know, while memory lasts.’’ A London correspondent of the New York Nation recently announced—as if the dis- covery was his own—that ‘‘Napoleon was no gentleman,’’ I have seen precisely the same statement in precisely the same words in various English books and magazines within the last thirty years; but, unlike the Nation correspondent, the credit of the alleged dis- covery was always assigned to the Duke of Wellington—to whom it undoubtedly belongs. Whether ‘‘the man who’’—as the London Times once said—‘*hasw ploughed his name and fame more deeply into human conscious- ness than any other since C@sar,’’ was or was nota gentleman is a question I do not propose to argue, every reader being quite competent to do that for himself. But, as an illustration of the different ways people have of looking at things, it is well to remember that Wellington, who thought ‘‘Napoleon was no gentleman,’’ was proud to kiss the hand of that king of royal blackguards, George |[V., whom Thackeray has thus pil loried: **Lord Malmesbury has given us the begin- ning ofthat wretched marriage story; how the Prince reeled into chapelto be married; how he hiccoughed out his vows of fidelity— you know how he kept them; how he pursued the woman whom he had married; to whata state he brought her; with what blows he struck her; what his treatment of his daugh- ter and what his own life. He, ‘the first gen- tleman of Europe!’ There’s no stronger satire onthe proud English society of that day than tnat they admired George.’’ And the Duke of Wellington was the first and foremost in that ‘‘proud English society’’ who ‘‘admired George,’’ and took off their hats and saluted him as ‘‘the first gentleman of Engiland!’’ If the old Duke were alive to-day, doubtless his ideas of what constitutes a gentleman would be equally curious. He would resent as a personal in-' sult and species of high treason to Church and State, the assertion that an English prince and heir apparent to the English throne whocould carry his gambling tools into a private house to which he had been in- vited as a guest, and insist upon playing a gambling game, though the hostess told him that her husband had positively forbidden such game in his house—was no gentleman. If George IV. and the present Prince of Wales are gentlemen, then most assuredly ‘*"Napoleon was no gentleman;’’ and I am very giad he was not. By the way, why does not some ingenious writer makea book in answer to the fre- quently asked question, ‘‘What é a gentle- man?’’ The dictionary gives usa string of more or less unsatisfactory definitions. Now let us have an elaborate treatise (octavo at least) to settle the matter. Meanwhile, When Adam dolve, and Eve span, Whe was then the gentleman? ‘Most likely Adam, I should think. I visited an exhibition of pictures some time ago, which was neither better nor worse than the usual show of that sort. Under one of these pictures—which with all the rest I have quite forgotten—were these lines, in explanation of the artist’s subject. I stood still ten minutes in the pushing, el ing crowd to copy them, and then went home with my prize, which I had never seen before.

Perkins, has started for Washington, where he will take his seat in tne Senate next Tuesday. To say that all are satisfied with the choice of the Governor would be far fromtrue. There are many rumblings of discontent and in no sense can Senator Perkins be considered the nominee of his party for re-election. He will take immediate steps to spike the guns of his most formidable enemies. In fact the first move in this direction has already been made.

To do this Hackney will be compelled to work in harmony with his worst enemy, the bew Senator. Se r Perkins, before leaving for Washington afternoon, said: **T will do all ican to assist Mr. Hackney, I bear him no malice and if I did I would assist him in any measure which ts forthe good of the people. His opposition to mé will have no influence in my course on any measure in which he may De interested.’’ Col. Hackney willbe in Washington next week. He doubtless understands that, the Santa Fe is more 60! icitous about his attitude toward the new Senator than itis about the bill which it expects Mr. Hackney to loos after. Hackaey’s sentiments regarding Senator Perkins have not been modified in the least. To-day he reiterated his inten- tion of returning to Kd@hsas to prevent Per- kins from being elected Senator next winter, If he carries out this purpose he will doubt- less become a@ Candidate for State Senator in Oowley County, that he may be in a position to lead the anti-Perkins forces in the Legis- lature. Those, who oppose Perkins’ appointment admit thathe isa first-class political organ- izer, and that he is possessed of more politi- cal sagacity thanany one of his opponents, withthe possibie exception of Judge Ben Simpson. It was freely predicted early in the week thatifhe was appointed he would at once proceed to remove Federal officers who Opposed himin ordertomake room for his friends, Those who prophesied tuls course for the Senator now admit tnat he is too guod @ politician to take this course.

HIS AMUIBLE QUALITIES ENUMERATED—SOME DISSATISFIED. ATCHISON, Kan., Jan. 2.—If the people of Atchison had any choice for United States Senator, ex-Senator Ingalls, who lives here, being out of the way, it was for ex-Congress- man Morrill, who lives in Brown County, the next county north of this county. The appointment of Judge B. W. Perkins is not satisfactory to the RepuDlicans of this sec- tion, although they will make the best of it. The dissatisfaction is not on account Of any personal dislike of Perkins, but because he is at war with so many Republicans of Southern Kansas, where he lives, that his appoint- ment is UMable to cause party dissen- sion that will give the State o the opposition in November.. Ex-Senator Ingalls pretendsto like the ap- pointment. Ina published interview he says: Tne distinguished array of strong, popu- lar and un nable candidates made the Governo task extremely dificult and delicate, but he has acquit himself with great honor, and given the people renewed evidence of his high character, devotion to sg and unerring tl sa- ga ty.

Perkins of Oswego, Kan., to succeed to United States Senator Plumb’s seat will make interesting a few reminiscences of the early day-by-day history of Mr. Perkins, related by a st. Loutsian yesterday Ao a Post-Disratca ro- porter: 7 **"It was tn the early °*70s that Mr. Per- Kins, shortly after the grasshopper plagues in Kansas, and after losing his first wife, migrated to California. The circumstances were about as follows: Although Mr. Perkins was not a farmer, he, like all other citizeng of Kansas, was greatly affected by that re. markable devastation, and being at thar time Co ty Attorney of Oswego County, nsas ha . of cou ‘se, to depend upon the finances. of thé county for his oT: A friend, a wagon. maker, named Waddell, who had been raiseq in Oswego Oounty, and who had spent, perbans fifty years, or more, of is life In that and adjoining counties in Kansas, sudden! took the California +? and Calistog Napa Coun Cal. Mr. Perkins, in ‘an spring of 1875, Ayer was short of clerks (I being one of his employes at the time) and Mr. rkins was anxious to securea place. On being asked wast me coals to whom he could refer and how long he had been at the business, Mr. Perkins ery answered: ‘‘I know nothing of the Dusiness;I have never done this kind of work;I am a lawyer from Kan sas, but sir, I can Goany Kind of work that is hcnora Try me on my merits, and you touched Mr. Ayer. Bim at a sala of $0 a erkins had B, W. PERKINS, , ATTORNEY AT LAW. ‘*The first case, I remember, was one in which a Mr. J.

Mr. Perkins had heard me make some remarks, casually, about the party whom he was employed to prosecuts; and the next morning whenlI re. } dans at the office, Mr. Perkins was not here, but soon appeared and subpcenaed me as a witness in Dehalfof Mr. Francis. Being quite young I was alarmed. , ia nds told melI might deniand my wit ness fees beforelappeared. This I did. and although Mr. Perkins was'‘very anxious to appear once at least before a Calistoga Justice, he failed to either get from Mr. Francis, or himself give sufficient guarantee that the $2 would be paid, anil therefore did not have to appear and Perkins lost his case, **This is to-day the United States Senator Sa mpaend, to succeed the late FP.

Manager Robertson Here. wr. J. A. Robertson, the general manager of the Mexican, Monterey & Gulf road, isin the city, having arrived yesterday morning from New York, where he attended the annual meetihgof the directors. It is the intention of the company, he says, to push ontothe Pacific Coast as fast as possible and they expect to have the road com leted to Mazatlan before the end of 1834. Prains have beenrunning for some time from be- tween Tampicoand Monterey and also from Monterey to Trevino, the present western terminus of the road. His com- any will be the first in lexico, he says, to connect the two oceans by rail. Mr. Robertson expects to leave for Monterey this evening. e would like to stay longer and meet ail of his old 8t. Louis friends, but says he is needed in Mexico. When asked about the Mexican revolution he said that he hardly knew there was any trouble down there until he went to New York, He was certain that the reports about it were grea exaggerated. New ‘Line to Kansas Oity. There ts a strong probability that work will soon be resumed on the old Cleveland & Kan- sas City road. Only sixteen miles of the road was finished when the enterprise collapsed a couple of years ago, but about fifty-six miles more are graded namely the twenty miles between St. Charies and Alton and thirty-six miles from Hamburg, west. Two traits a day are now run between Hamburg and St. -Charles, the road being operated by the American Construction Co. Mr. J. H, Bethune the ° sident of the company, says that no definite arrange- ments for the completion of the yoad have as ‘et been made, but that he still; has strong heses of seeing the line built. The con- struction company owns road- bed already finished and the rolling stock, but the charter is still the property of the Cleveland, St. Louis & Kansas ty Rallroad Co. The original intention was to complete the road first to Boonville and then to Kan- sas City, but when work is res@med, as it robably will be soon nothwithstanding Mr. ethune’s apparent ignorance of the nd- ing negotiations, it will be pushed until the entire line is completed.

SLYE STILL PLEADS IGNORANCE. Again Chief Harrigan turned to Slye and nodding to Messenger Muirennnan asked: **Do you know this man, Slye?’’ **No, Idon’t,’’ Came the dogged response. **Never saw him before?’’ **Not that I know of,’’ said Slye. **That’li do,’’ responded the Chief, and then turned towards Messenger Mulrennan. **Do you know this man?’’ pointing to Slye. **] do,’’ said the Adams Express messenger, promptly, staring Slye ful] in the face. **Where have you ever séen him before?’’ **On the night of Nov. 80 last, whem my car — robbed on the ’Frisco road near Gien- ale.’’ ave winced perceptibly at this quiet state- ment. **How and where did you see him on that night?’’ continued Chief Harrigan. **He was one of the two men who entered my carafter the door was blown open and robbed the Adams Express Co.’s safe.’’ ‘*What part did he take in the robbery of the safe?’ ‘**‘He took the leading part, directing the other man an helping to break into the safe. He is the man I described as doing all the cursing,swearing and threatening while in the car. He is the man also who took my watch away from me.’’ **You positively identify him as that man, o you?’ ~ **Il do, most positively,’’ and Express Mes- senger Mulrennan’s face fairly glowed as he looked into Slye’s eyes as they were suddenly raised at the Ohief’s significant words.

I told him it was, and then in @ moment he picked up a box in the bottom of which was another pistol covered up by the contents of the box, and turned upside down. The pistol fell out, and this man Slye grabbed it and turning to me poured out a voliey of curses and cried: ** *l knew you were lying to me about that pistol! You thought you were smart, didn’t you? I’vea good notion to blow your brains out right now!’ ’”’ ‘*Slye also took my watch from me, asI said, and Isaw him put itin his pocket.

J. Whittaker and Edward ‘Byron of San Francisco, Oal., who brought Slye to St. Louis from Oakland, Cal., had also entered the Chief’s office during the scene and stood between Slye and the west door. And Messenger Mulrennan sat facing the man who had faced him with a drawn re- volver in the express car of the Frisco through train as it waited in the Glendale cut on the night of Nov. 30, while the Adams Express Oo,’s sate was being rified of its contents. _ Blye, with head bent down during most of the time occupied by Messenger Muirennan’s story, fumbled nervousiy with his hat, his face set, and tycoons and paling by turns as the story progressed. An almost contin- uous crossing and recrossing of his legs be- trayed the restiess strain that had gathered upon him, and his whole Manner was some- thing of a contrast with that of the smiling, self- possessed, ‘‘perfect gentlieman,’’ who reached the Four Courts from his trip across the continent on New Year’s morning. When Messenger Mulrennan reached the point where he deseribed Slye’s finding of the second pistol and threats against the mes- senger’s life, the latter suddenly raised his face with almost a look of helpless appeal on it, butasthe story proceeded, Slye gripped the arms of his chair with an evident strong effort to pull himself together. He seemed to succeed to a certain extent, for when the story was finished h6 drewa long breath of relief and then looked calmly up. CHIEF HAKRIGAN INTRODUCES SLYPR. ‘*That’s all,’’ said Chief Harrigan to man- ager Damsel, ‘‘that issufficent, I think.’’ And then for afew moments the Chief and the St. Louis Manager of the Adams Kxpress Co., retired toa corner of the office and held an earnest conversation in whipers. That it was rather a i gman — mo | talk was plain from the a on the faces of the two as they strolled back together smiling. Then the party up, Messseger Mulrennan accom. nying Chief of Detectives Desmond into is private office and Manager Damsel and the two California detectives going into the office of the Chief's Secretary, r.

E Slye was in Chiefof Detectives Desmond’s room chatting with Desmond and Whittak and of San Francisco. - + About 3 o'clock two men came in to identify a@ negro for burglary and the two California detectives stood . There was r man in at the time. En- agnerand Fireman B®. J. Daly of train were in the outer of- in without any an- n pose of their visit. Both. the the engineer recog- nized the ‘prisoner immediately and singled bim out from other men in the office without a sign of hesitation or uncertainty. The remarked to Silye, ‘‘Yes, and those eyes of yours twinkle just as they did on the night of the rob a. ‘*You, —— —— you,’’ said Slye, ‘‘you were too badly scared to identify anybody.’’ **l was, wasil.

Both Engineer Wagner and Fireman Daly state most emphatically that Slye was one of the two men who rode om the tender of the engine up tothe top of the hill where the train was eh 6 ore Slye, they say, had two revolvers and did most of the sing around. DALY AND WAGNER TALE. Both Engineer Wagner and Fireman Daly were seen in Chief Desmond’s office after the indentification. Mr. Daly was the first in- terviewed, Mr, Wagner being in consultation with a detective. ‘*‘Dia you recognize Slye?’’ was asked of Daly. “Well, I guess I would know those sparkling restiess eyes of hisinany crowd. He is the gen- tleman who sat Over me On the tender with a gun in each hand. He was oneof the two men whoclimbedup on thetender and sat on the coal, covering us with their guns for about two miles, 6 pald particular atten- tion to me and saw me eying him once or twice and said: ‘Keep your face to the engine, -— -—— £«5you, and tend to your business.’ When we got to the top of the hill the train was stopped and the engineer and a deadhead fireman andl were made to get off and stand beside the engine. is man biye covered us with the two postols while his partner, a tall man of slimmer build, went ahead and put out the headlight. Then Slye’s partner went back to the smoker with the engineer and the other fireman while Slye stayed with me by the side ofthe engine. A few minutes later he took me down to the smoker with the rest and afterturning me over to the other man Slye wentaway and the other man stood at the car door shooting off his pistol and mak- ing a racket, I suppose to Scare us.’’ ‘*Did either of the men have masks on?’’ ‘*Yes, they had handkerchiefs tied around the lower parts oftheir faces, but they did not cover much.’’ **Could you see the men plainly?’’ ‘*‘Not as clearly as in daylight, but we could see pretty well, and had a good look at them, too, when we got off the engine, be- cause Mr. Wagner had a conductor’s lan- tern.’’ ‘*Did Siye ony to you that you were too scared to identify anyone?’’ ‘*Yes. It was a bad break he mede, and he talked just as if he recognized me, too.’’ ‘*You picked him out of a bunch of several men, did you not?’’ ‘* Yes, I had notrouble at all in recogniz- ing him from the rest.’’ Engineer Wagner said: ‘‘WhenI first went into the office I did not even know what I was called inforand had no idea that the man was anywhere about. Ilsawaman from be- hind and thought that his back looked famil- lartome. I looked at him more closely, and then as heturnedI saw his face and eyes and immediately recognized himasthetrain robber. His whole appearance was well im- pressed on me and knew him ina mo- ment. **He is the man who wason the tender of the engine who covered us with pistols all the way up the hill until westopped. He and the other man covered us with guns and made us get off. Slye covered us with pistols until the other man put outthe headlight of the engine. Then Slye’s partner came back and took us down to the smoxking-car. I had a conductor’s lantern in my hand, and Slye swore at me and tuwld meto put it behind me so as not to blind him with the light.’’ . **What became of Slye after he took you to the smoker?’’ ‘*l don’t know, except that he went toward the express car,’’ The identification of Slye by the engineer and fireman confirms the identification of Mulrennan. They account for Slye ae the time he was riding on the tender an until the engineer and the two firemen were taken back to the smoker car. After that they both agree that he went off toward the express car and they saw him no more,except once when he was feeling over Mulrennan’s clothes looking for valuables. Slye during his interview with the two trainmen was less guarded in his speech and seemed more careless. He chaffed the fire- man about being frightened when the trouble was goingon. Siye wasalso identi- fied yesterday afternoon bya lady who was summoned to the Four Courts for that pur- pose, but whose name is withheld by the po- lice. Theljady positively identified him as having lived at the houseNo. 4244 Swan ave- nue just preceding the train robbery of Nov. 30, and as being one of the partv of four men and a woman already described as Hedspeth and his wife, Slye, ‘*‘Dink’’ Wilson and one other man, name unknown. HURRIED WORK LAST NIGHT. Detectives Whittaker and Byron of San Francisco, pm under Chief Harrigan’s orders by Chief Crowley of that city, left hurriedly for the West last night. Re- newed activity atthe Four Courts last night indicated that something new in the train robbery case had developed during the day. Chief Harrigan held a long conference with Chief of Detectives Desmond behind closed doors in the former’s private office, lasting from 7:30 until almost 9 o’clock, after which the Chief of Police Iieft. It is also expected that Maggie Hedspeth, alias Florence Waterman, the wife of the leader of the ‘‘Glendale gang,.’’ willarrivein St. Louls by next Friday or Saturday. Detective Tracy of 8t.

He is ex- pected to reach San Francisco to-morrow night and willatoncestart back with the woman. By that timeitisnow almost cer- tain that others of the ‘‘Glendale gang’’ will have been nabbed by the police. MESSENGER MULRENNAN’S WATCH. In addition to identifying Slye as one of the men who rob the express car on the night of Nov. 80 last, Adams Express Mes- senger Mulrennan also positively identified the watch found in Slye’s possession when the latter was arrested in Los Angeles, Cal., last week, as his own, taken from him by Siye on the night of the train robbery. The watch ig a very handsome gold timepiece, valued at $150, and Mes- senger Mulrennan described it perfectly before it was produced and shown to him. In this instance, as in all his denials and eva- sions, Slye has been found a most skilful ana accomiplished twister of the truth. He was subjec to a cross-examination concernin the watch by Chief of Detectives Desmond yesterday. ‘*l bought that watch in Francigco my- er to r.** wns the cool reply. from?’’ I can’t remember me. ean street were they on in San Fran- sco 7 p te don’t remember.

Jan. 2.—Chief of Police Speers of this city, who has furnished tothe St. Louls police some pointers concerning the Glendale train robbers, to-day gave the PoOsT-DISPATCH correspondent the full crim- inal history of Marion Hedspeth, the dyna- mite train robber, as follows. ‘“*‘Hedspeth, who, I believe, led the band of robbers of which Slye, now in jail in St. Louis, was one, was bornand raised in Cooper County, and his people live at Pisgah. He was sent to the pen for grand larceny and jail-breaking, and has been out of prison for about two years. He is now between 26 and 28 years old. When he was released he had a large overlapping toothin his upper jaw which marked him. He had the tooth taken out and wears a false one in its place. When he left the Jefferson City prison he associated himself with an ex-convict named Cody, who had been sent from Sedalia for burglary. When Cody was opr in Sedalia he was caught in the act of drilling a safe. He and his gang opened fire on the police officers who detected them and one officer was killed and. another severely wounded. One of Cuody’s pals was killed and it was sup- ed that Cody was mortally wounded. Cody was confined in jail for sometime and the attending physicians thought he would not recover. Whencourt convened he was carried to the court.room, entereda plea of guilty and was given only two years in the penitentiary, the Judge and court officers thinking that it would be but a few months before he woul@ die. Instead of dying heat once commenced to recover, and when his sentence expired he was awell man and he and Hedspeth at once went on the road together taking in an old railroad man, who had been a freight conductor, and revious to associating with Hedspeth and ody, had been a man of good character. These three men located at Bonner Springs, twenty miles west of Kansas City, on the line of the Union Pacific. Their purpose was to hold up the Union Pacific train some ten miles east of that place. While living at Bonner Springs Hedspeth and Cody went down tothe county seat of Miller County, Mo, , and openea the safe of Mr. Johnson, a merchant, and got $1,400. A few days after this Detective Bryant and Kansas officers went to Bonner Springs to arrestthe Hedspeth gang, but they had fed. After this Hedspeth and Cody and the rallroad man separated out through Kansas. One night at Osage City while they were drilling a safe, they were surprised, showed fight, and Cody was killed. Hedspeth and the others then came back to Missouri and operated in Southwest Missouri. They opened a safe at Ava, a& small town not far from Springfield, and were followed and captured. Afterward they broke jail and were caught in Quincy, Illl., and returned. Hedspeth_ again broke jail. His pal was recentl tried for the Ava robbery and sent up for fif- teen years. Hedspeth then associated him- self with a new gang composed of Hedspeth as leader, Slye, a St. Joseph man and ex-con- vict; L. L. Wilson, an Omaha man, a brother of Wilson and another unknown man. This gang wentinto Toney Crandall’s saloon on the Southwest Boulevard at the State line and held Crandall up when there were a dozen men in the place. They took Crandall’s diamond studand watch and some money. Their next exploit was the Kansas Oity (Kan.) street car barn rob- bery. Then the car barn at Omaha suffered, following which the Pacific House robbery at St. Joseph, where they held ap the clerk. The next was the robbery of the train four miles from Omaha. There they only got $235. They tore the whole end of the express car out with dynamite. Their next appearance wasthe Western Union Junction train robbery near Milwaukee. The last was the Glendale train robbery near St. Louis, by which the gang got a large sum of money. Hedspeth, the leader, was arrested in this city on Nov. 28, 1890, for stealing a chair worth $5 from W. H. Bean, 912 Main street. Bean failed to prosecute and the man was released.’’ The capture of Slye is considered a!most im- portant one here and the police believe that the rest of the gang will be taken in custody. The police here say no doubt that the gang is one of the most daring ever organized for plunder. STORY OF THE CHASE, HOW THE DETECTIVES TRACKED THE ROBBERS FROM ST. LOUIS, On the 7th day of December last there began from St. Louis a chase on the hot trail of the Glendale train robbers which furnishes the most fascinating and, in its results, the most important story ofthe entire tracking down of that bold gang. It was on the night of Dec. 7 that Chief of Detectives ‘William Desmond, ac- companied by Detectives Viehle, Allender and McGrath, so suddenly and mysteriously. disappeared from 8t. Louis. The cause of their disappearance was a ‘‘straight tip’’ that accomplished its purpose and located the leaders of the ‘**Glendale ng’”’ so con- clusively that only the leaking out of the news of the arrest of the first of the gang, Adelbert D. Slye, in Los Angeles, Cal., pre- rented a prearranged successful bagging of the four principals in the Glendale robbery at tven with that wholesale prevented, such a cordon ra the entire group tnat now it is only a question of perhaps a day untilevery member ofthe gangis cap- tured and the great case successfully closed. And the success of the ‘‘cordon’’ results from the work of the four men named, Chief Des- mond and Detectives Viehle, Allender and McGrath, who followed up the oe until they had them all pushed so far to the Pacific slope that escape now believed to be im- sible. It has alread y been told how, on Dec. 6, six daysafter the robbery, Chief Harrigan age! pa information which led to the search- n E press ve excellent authority, yo Oak- ry t trunk—the trunk which is still bein at Oakland, Cal. fhe t made known to the Chief, the day At left St. Louis, es Fioren Waterman’’ was had a hasty visit to his wife and then hurried on westward after Hedspeth end ey a Hedspeth, At Sioux City and Council Bluffs, Io., the tracks of both Hedspeth and Slye were still warm, and they were point- ing still due west.

Slye was again heard of in very definite shape, Omaha being his home but he had sto only a day there amd then contin is flight westward. »t Greenwood, Wyo., both “ve and Hedspeth were again beara of, and they were heading westward at the same precipitate speed. And at Lithes, Utah, Chief Desmond lea positively that the gang had been there afew days before—they had four days’ start from 8t. Louls—and from there started for the straight trip to the Pacific coast. Chief nh was at once telegraphed that the ‘‘Glendale gang’’ was safely cor- rallied beyond all question in California, Chief Crowley of n Francisco was im- mediately wired that the ball had open at his end of the line, and Chief of MPe- tectives Desmond was ready to return to St. Louis. But there had been certain other discoveries made during the journey, and instead of bringin his three men back with him, Desmond located Viehle and Allen- der at certain points. ‘‘between here and Utah,’’ as Desmond himself puts it, to escape detaliis, sent McGrath back . haste to St. Louis, with a full report of all results accomplished, and himself came back via Kansas City, investigating* certain incidental developments in that neighbor- hood. He reached St. Louis finally on Dec 22, Just eight days before Slye was arrested in California. **It was through that trip alone that the Glendale gang was ‘spotted’ in California, and the trip was o of the luckiest ever made in a chase after thieves. We got the full history of the gang from their several homes;we got them headed safely for the Slope and then I came back to 8t.

In passing through Wyoming we had to board a train rather late one night, and some ladies became alarmed and asked the porter of the car to stay up all night on guard, as they were afraid we might be desperate men. The conducior knew who we were ard laughed at the ladies, telling them we were a safeguard against robbers and not robbers ourselves. ** ‘If you are afraid of robbers, ladies,’ he suld, ‘don’t look for men who dress roughly. Pick out fellows with silk hats. They are the dangerous men.’ ”’ HEDSPETH’S CAREER. BOONVILLE, Mo., Jan. 2.—Cooper County, which is the birthplace of Marion Hedspeth, the Glendale robbery suspect, has cause to remember her wayward son. His career of crime was started in this county in 1882 when he was only 17 years old. In company with a man named Harry Sanders, he broke intoa store at Prairie Home and robbed the safe. He was arrested and got one year in the County Jailfor hiscrime. After being ina month he attempted to escape and In doing so nearly killed Deputy Sheriff Louis LE. Willtams now World’s Fair Commissioner for Alaska. He was captured and narrowly escaped. lynching. He madea subsequent attempt to escape and stolea horse in the venture, for which he was given seven years in the penl- tentlary. After his release he worked as a farm hand in Cooper County, a remarkable paps in connection therewith being the num of small thefts which kept occurring during/his presence in the vicinity. PROGRESSIVE BENEFIT ORDER. ton Committee Makes Its Report— hady Methods Exposed. About t enty gentlemen, representing the fifty lodges of the Progressive Benefit Order, met at Central Turner Hall last night to heara report from Messrs. Dassen, Duggan and Maloney, the gentlemen who had gone on to Boston in the interest of the members of the order inthiscity. Mr. Dassen read the re port, which was as follows: We your committee report: First—That the Supreme Lodge have abused their trust in the most shameful manner. Second—That the Supreme officers are entirely un- able or unwilling to make any statement as tothe standing or condition of the order. Third—That it has not deposited the money re- ceived on benefit assessments in the State Treasury as provided by the laws of the commonwealth from which it received its charter. Fourth—That it has discriminated in the payment of certificates, inasmuch as certificates maturing in December have been paid, while October certificates remain unpaid perterense being shown to certifi- cates presented y brokers and collectors and. other persons hoiding powers of attorney to act for certifi- cate holders, and your committee lieve that these were acting as agents for the supreme officers in one form or another. Fifth—That the Supreme Lodge has used the gen- eral expense fund in the most extravagant manner in paying exorbitant salaries to its officers and depu- ties and squandering the monéy so recklessly that the cost of bringing in a new member was $7. ; Sixth—That the bonds of Supreme officers were en- tirely insufficient. From all the facts gathered, your committee thought prem thatthe business ofthe order should be wound up as soon as possible; I therefore brought proceedings in court. for an injunction, and have also petitioned for a receiver to wind up the buai- ness of the order and make an equitable distribution among all the members in good standing. The committee further recommend that no money be sent on to Boston. Mr. Duggand in explaining -the report said that the order was dead beyond resurrection and that it would never get out of the courts. His doubts about rottenness inthe Supreme Lodge were quickly dispelled when he reached Boston and was approached by the brokers who were anxious to pick up all matured and rematured certificates at reduced rates. r. Duggan was of the opinion that the brokers were in collusion with the Supreme Lodge and said that the leader of the brokerage business was a past president ofthe order. He told of how he was ap- proached by one man who said thatif they would raise the injunction on the order for twelve hours they could have anything they wanted. Another broker offered to take up a lapsed certificate and give the face value minus the assessments unpaid. After considerable discussion of a rambing nature Messrs. J. F. a EN. ar Gilles Boland, D. Ryan, H. J. Parker, . H. Littieand E. C. Dassler of 606 North Fifteenth street were Executive committee the affairs of the d this city. They have already engaged a lawyer to look after the affairs in Boston, and every member of the order will be asked to turn into the committee the date and number of his certificate and assessment of 25 cents to cover expenses. When the committee finds the amount of money owing to mem- bers in St. Louis, they will know what claim to make on the Boston courts. 18-KT. GOLD WEDDING RINGS. RMOD & JACOARD JEWELRY Co., Com.

Ssince his return the Senator has talked with several of his friends and the recent Elmira speech of Senator-elect Hill was Culled to his attention, From the published report he was at aloss to understand where the New Yorker belongs on the cuinage question, .ap- plauding as he did the ~»placing of Congressman Bland at the head of the Committee on Colnage, Weights and Measures, and deprecating as ne did the pas- sage ofa free coinage measure, with which Mr. Bland isin sympathy. But what the New York Sengtor intended by that speech is not understood by others and he will be secure from having toexplain when he enters the Senate Chamber any seeming inaccuracies or misleading sentences on the question of coin- age contained in his E] mira address. FAVORS FUSION, —_—_———.. IGNATIUS DONNELLY CAUSES CONSTERNATION AMONG REPUBLICANS. St. Pact, Minn., Jan. 2.—A good deal of consternation was created in Republican circles here this afternoon upon the an- nouncement that Ignatius Donnelly, Pres!- dent of the Farmers’ Alliance, had been con- verted to the belief that sion with the Democrats is the proper thing at this hour. Most of the other Alliance leadere had already indorsed the idea, but Mr. Donnelly had been holding out for straight Alliance nominations, and a large portion of the rank and fileof the People’s party was following him. One of Mr. n- nelly’s lieutenants came up from Hasti to-day and said: ‘Mr. Donn is not opposed to a fusion with the Democrats next year, as has been asserted, but on the contrary will favor tt. His idea of fusion will take in Congressmen, electoral tickets, State officers and Legislature. He would divide these as follows ween the Alliance or People’s party and t Dem.- ocrats: electoral ticket, nine; five Demo- crats an@four People’s party men or vice versa. OCongressmen—Democrats, four; Alll- ance, three. State officers—Governor, Alli- ance; Lieutenant Governor, a Dem- ocrat; Secretary of State, Alliance; Treasurer a Democrat; Attorney-Gen- eral, Alliance; United States Sen- ator, . a Democrat or Alliance man according to which party has a majority of the fusion party men in the Legislature. This plan contemplates the nomination of Senator John B. Hompe in the Seventh Dis- trict, and an equally prominent Alliance man ‘| in the Second District, probably Gen. James robably se- H. Baker, both of whom could eimocrats of cure the indorsement of the those districts.’’ The plan tn a general way contemplates the re-election of Mr. Donnelly as President of the Alliance, next week; his probable in- dorsement as the People’s» party presiden- tlalcandidate andthe renomination of Sid- ney M. Owen, Alllance, for Governor. Mr. Donnelly has already announced that he is not a candidate for Senator. THE DEMOCRATIO CONVENTION, MONEY RAISED BY THE CITY ON THE KAW TO SECURE IT.

The committee is sending out baskets of mail matter and !s receiving many favorable answers. Senator Vest writes Offering his services to Kansas Oity. The committee will have a souvenir printed in elegant form, showing by a series of fine illustrations the principal buiid- ings and other objects of interest in Kansas City.

Copeland and Thompson. *‘Iwasin avery serious condition whenf went to Drs. Sue of and Thompson,’’ said Mr. Adam Tils of Belleville, Ill., who tg employed on the Branch Mine at Gartside No. 4, near Belleyilie. ‘‘My trouble had existed for over four years. At first my head, nose, ears and throat became all stopped so I could hardly breathe or swallow. My appetite failed, food distressed my stomach and gave me n6 strength. Ilost flesh rapidly. I wag not able to sleep half of the time, and I was more tired and miserable when I would get up than before I went to bed. rst part i Reges to = e ine. days andI would suffer constantly m @ terribie throbbing pain in the back of my head just as if some one were striking me in the back with a Ratchet. **All doctors failed to heip me, seemed unabie to understand my case and I WAS DI URAGED almost without nope, for I had been tn such con. stant misery for solongatime. No one but myself can know ag terribly I suffered. **With Drs. Copeland and Thompson al! was dif- ferent. I experienced relief from the start, and now I am strong and well. They cured my catarrhal trouble. and since the first week under their treat- ment I have had no return of those spells which were justtaking my life, inch byinch. I can not recommend Drs. Copeland and Thompson wo highly. They are successful physicians, worthy the confidence of all.’’ A FORERUNNER. How the Sufferer Can Detect the Coming of Trouble. One of the most common and annoying effects of catarrh is a continual dropping in the back part of the throat, which is especially noticed while lying down in bed, The patient affected with this disease feels fairly well in the afternoon, but toward even- ing the nose becomes partially stopped, the voice gots a little husky, and in some cases the throat may feelalittie sore or stuffed up, and when he retires for the night the patient feels that, added to his other symptoms,he cannot breathe through his nose, which has become entirely plugged up; the result is that he snores to the annoy ance of himself and room- mate and, in some cases when the partition is thin, even his neighbors’ lives are made miserable. A person so affected will drop off to sléep only to awake after a shorter or longer period by feeling a dropping in the back part of the throat. After pass- ing a wretched night, filled with bad dreams and annoying sensations, caused by the dropping in the throat, he will awake in the morning not at all re- freshed, but feeling more tired than he did the night previous on going to bed. Alter getting out of bed inthe morning he finds his throat and upper part of the bronchial tubes filled with slime and mucus, which has collected by the dropping therein in the night, and which causes a bad taste and a sticky sensation in the mouth. The first thing hejs called upon todois to rid his throat of the mucus, which he does by hawking ap the offensive material. In some cases this causes gagging and vomiting. The result of all this isa dis- gust for food, and no breakfast, or a very light one, follows. But this not the worst: During the night consid- erable of the mucus is swallowed, and when foodis taken into the stomach it is coated over by this material, and isso prevented from coming in con- tact with the digestive fluids, the result of which is the food decomposes; gas is formed which Dloats the patient up, causing him to belch and tasting the offensive material. Part ofthis poisonous material is absorbed by the blood and takeninto the system, ‘where it irritates the nerves, causing headache and the thousand and one littie aches and pains that people compiain of. The charges of Drs. Copeland and Thompson for treatment are so reasonabieas to be within the reach of all. Medicines are furnished free.

But She Had Property cf Value in En- gland—Belief That She Was Murdered and Robbed—Died on the Gallows— Rescue or a Rope—Moonshiners Cap- tured—Fired by Thieves. ; Lowpow, Jan. 2.—Through exclusive in- formation from official sources wired to-day from Naples, the SuNpDaY PostT-DISPATCH correspondent ts able to largely unravel the mystery of the aJleged English woman who was murdered in Naples one week ago to- day. The British newspapers have hitherto paid little attention to brief cables from Rome of this tragedy because nothing could be learned about the womap’s connections in England, where she came from or where her relatives lived, if she had any. She was associated for ten yearsin Naples with Pastor Barff ofthe English Church there, without elther Barft or his congregation learning anything whatever of her past history, She was always regarded in Naples as a secretive and most eccentric woman, who took especial pains to court ob- scurity. One night the woman was ™mur- dered. She Was on her way to dine with Pastor Barff. She livedin Villaquarento, in Posilippi, about one mile away from BarT?’s house. In reaching the pastor’s hoyse she had to pass through a low quarter leading to the customs gate. At this gate she was stopped by the customs officers, because she was carrying a package which they examined, it belng suspected that it contained something contraband. The Officials discovered their mistage, and the woman continued to walk toward the residence of Mr. Barf. A few minutes afterwards some policemen saw a young Neapolitan .of the lower class following her. Nothing more was ssenof the woman until daylight on the following morning, when a lamplighter found her dead. No package was found, and what her package contained has not yet been discovered, There Was a deal oftrouble in discovering the dead woman’s identity. Dispatches to London papers called her both Browning and Wellesley. Some said she was a Mrs., others said she wadga Miss: On first examination of her effects at the villa nothing wasfound which would give a clue to her identity. She was buried without any relatives or friends turning Wpto claim her, butin goingover papers ijeft by the murdered woman, if she was murdered, British Consul discovered a letter from Frank genby, President of the Capital and Coun- Bank at Basingstoke, Engiand. This let- ter referred to some. property which the dead woman had owned seven miles from Basing: stoke. It appeared she had purchased the Basingstoke property in April, 1890, had lived there until six weeks ago, when she went |. back to Naples, taking considerable money Judging by the woman’s pronounced foreign accent and name, Wenzel, in which she kept her account at the bank, Lazenby concluded that she was a native or Austria or Southern Germany. It seemed to be certain that she was nota born IKnglish woman, despite the name Wellesley which she seems to have assumed, but certainly appeared to be a lady and a woman of culture. When Miss Wellesley left the hermitage six weeks ago she turned the Key in her door and — no instructions about her property. he house remains to-day exactly as she left itin this quiet, remote village. Nothing had been heard of the mysterious Naples murder until the letter from the British Consul ar- rived to-day. The Naples police made an egregious mistake in assuming that the woman’s last name was Browning. This blunder probably arose from the fact that her villa, the hermitage, is situated In a part = tate Village locally Known as Browning Ofcourse allthis, while it helps to estab- lish the dead woman’s identity, does not clear up the mystery of hér alleged murder. The woman’s body was found in tne street in the vilest quarter of Naples several hours after she ad passed the Customs gate witha package. This package, whatever it may have contained. was not found with the body. Where she went or what happened after passin the Customs gate, nobody knows; but there seems to be no doubt in the minds of the Naples police that she was the victim of outrage and rovbery. The difi- culty in clearing up the mystery had been increased by the police not discovering the woman’s realname. Nowthat it has been disclosed, some solution of the mystery may ve forthcoming, DIED ON THE GALLOWS. A DESPERATE NEGRO CRIMINAL HANGED AT CHATTANOOGA, TENN. OHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Jan. 2.—For the un- provoked murder of Officer Musgrove on the 12th of June, «189, Jesse Frierson was hanged here to-day. Frierson had seemed to become very religious for the past week until iast night when he made a murderous attempt to take the life of his jailer instead of listening to the consoling words of preachers and friends. At 9o’clock Jallor Holt passed through the cage of the ward where the murderer had enjoyed a comparative amount of freedom from re- strain. The jatier had come to remove Frierson toa place where he would be under the eye of the death watch then assembled. The mo- ment the Jaller entered, Frierson seized him by the throat and pinned himtothe wall. A terrible struggle followed. Holt is @ game officer, but tn the hands of the burly negro he was like a chila’in the hands ofa xiant. The murdgrer’s struggle was forthe possession of thé Jaller’s revol- ver. Holt’s face was purple, and tothe two other officers who hurriedly worked their way yon the cage it looked as if his breat w gone. One of them knocked Frierson senseless with the butt ofa istol, anda physician soon brought: Holt ck to his normal condition. . sage the terrible struggle he bad never relea ihe holdon Frierson’s hands. At9 o’ clock t night. the death watch was put on, and to-day a few minutes after 12 report- ers, officers and the relatives of Frierson son re whisky.

She went into the hallway a few minutes after 4 a. m., for W hile drawing it she smelled smoke. Looking Gown the winding stairway she saw thick clouds of smoke in the lower halis. Mrs. Larkin started down-stairs screaming **fire.’’ With another cry of ‘‘fire,’’ she here she, meta iceman who turned in an alarm and lastened fo the house. Hie rapped for assistance and then mounted the four flights of stairs, striking his club on the floor as he went along and shouting for the re inmates to get ont. Meanwhile the eugines arrived. Before the flremen got to work the four score panic- stricken people were runningand tumbling down the stairs. “Some of them took refuge on the roof, while others sought safety on the fire escape. In a few minutes the blaze It was found thata deliberate at- teinpt had been madeto burnthe house. A lot of Kindling wood and other inflammable stuff had been plled up inside a coal bin and set on fire. . While some of the firemen were still at work scattering the smouldering material and others were about to take up the hose an- other cry of ‘‘Fire,’’ was heard. It came from awoman who appeared in her night dress at the door of No, 85 Carmine street, im- mediately opposite. The hallway was full af smoke and streaks of it poured through the chinks in the sidewalk. This was also a five- story building, bnt it was a single tenement in which lived eleven families, comprising fifty-five persons. Ihtense excitement pre- valled when it was found that the two fires had been started in the same manner. The second fire was evidently started last as it had not made much headway and was quickly extinguished. That robbery was the object of the incen- diaries is proven by the fact that a number of articles of clothing, a pocket-book and a child’s bank were stolen during the brief panic and confusion. Whenthe fire at 842 was first discovered and during the subse- quent excttement a young man rushed up the stairs shouting fire. He was followed by two others, but they were driven back by the pases and firemen. After all the inmates had eft their rooms at No. 3442, except a rheu- matic man named Bosselet, who lived on the fourth floor front, the latter was assisted down, but he was loath to leave his rooms saying there were thieves in the house. While he was tn bed after his wife and child had left him a young Man ran into his r@omand snatched a child’s bank from the mantel. It contained $10 in change. The sick man shouted after the thief and tried tointercept him, but could not. His description of the fellow tallied with that of the young man who had gone up-Sstairs shouting fire. After he left Bosselet’s room the thief went through several other apart- ments which had been deserted by their oc- cupants and stolemrticles of clothing. Mrs. Annie Sullivan, who lived on the sec- ond floor in front, was. surprised by a fellow coming into her room witha bundle in his arm. She screamed and the thief ran away but the woman gave chase until she reached the lower landing, where she stopped be- cause she wore only her night clothes. The thief escaped. Mrs. Hennessey, living on the third floor of No, 38, saw twotough looking fellows run into that house immediately aiter the 17 of fire by Janitress Hill, but she supposea they were tenants and thought no wore of the cir. cumstance until after the excitement had died away and Wm. Rogers, living on the fourth floor, said he had been robbed ofa pocketbook containing about $60 in money and some papers. ; BURGLARS AT WORK. FARMINGTON, Jan. 27.—Farmington had not been troubled by burglars since last Septem- ber until the night of December i. On that night the house of Mrs. Metz was entered and a quantity of provisions stolen, On the same night the residence of Dr. E. C. McCor- mick was entered and some clothing taken. What is singular about the burglary at Dr. McCormick’s is that an entrance was ef- fected in precisely the same manner in which the house was entered about months ago. rast night the marauders visited the resi- dence of Lassource, They entered Mr. *s sleep! nt, secured the Gjoining toon and rifled Mr. Las- pockets, ta A VERDICT REACHED — Chili’s Court of Inquiry in the Massacre Case Reports. RIGGIN WAS KILLED, BUT NO ONE IS TO BLAM. The Complete Finding to Be Submitted Monday—Prospects for a Peaceful Set- tlement Look Brighter—Minister Montt Says His Government Will Make E=x- planation—Egana Stumbling-Block, VALPARAISO, Chili, Jan. 2,—The Procurator Fiscal has concluded his review of the Balti- more case. He findsthat Rodirguez, Domez and Azumada, the three rioters who were held by Judge of Crimes Foster, are guilty of stabbing and otherwise wounding the American sallors, but he says the evidence is not strong enough to show that the wounds in- filcted by the four prisoners caused the death of Boatswain’s Mate Charles Riggin and Coal Heaver Turnbull. He finds the Bal- timore sailor Davidson guilty of assault upon a Chilian sailor. Rodriguez acknowledged stabbing Riggin because the latter assaulted one of the sallors of the Chilian torpedo boat, Almirante Cochrane. Seeing the Chilian seaman ill- treated Rodriguez stuck his knife into Riggin’s back. Gomez admitted stabbing Turnbull in the back three times, and said he did so defend- ing some friends of his whom Turnbull had knocked down. Azumada denied having anything to do with the assault, but was shown by other witnesses to have partici- pated in it. Cortez, another of the prisoners, also al- leged that he took no part intheaffair, A revolver was found on him, but he said that he carried it to defend himself. It now only remains for Judge of Crimes Foster to pass sentence onthe three con- victed prisoners. Relative to Cortez’ implication the Procu- pho al Fiscal says that more data are re- qu ; . The Fiscal comes to the conclusion that itis impossible to determine who fired the shot which killed Riggin. It will be remembered thatone of the witnesses, ac- cording to Judge Foster’s report, testified that he saw three policemen holding Rig- gin at the time the fatal shot was fired.

Sig. Don Pedro Montt, the Chillan Minister, is himself the authority for the statement that the negotiations have been transferred from the Chilian capitaltothe seat.of Gov- ernment in the United States. Mr. Montt says that if the question !n controversy had been left to himself and Mr. Blaine, a settle- ment would have been arrived at long before this. The chief difficulty, he says, inthe way of an adjustment, has arisen from the strained relations between the United States Minister, Mr. .Egan, and the Chillan Government. All matters are now taken out of that channel and the correspondence is being. conducted directly from here, chicfly by cable, and without the intervention of our Minister ‘in Santiago. This removes one great source of friction, though at the same time leaving the American Minister to an anomalous posi- tion from which it is thought he will shortly be reliev in some manner, either by a leave of absence or otherwise, just as soon ag the berplexing matter of the Balmacedan refugees is adjusted.

A Disgusting State of Things—Complaints of Abbott's Ineffloency—The French Stand by Their Old Leader—Speaker- ship Influence—Agitation for Church Schools for Religious Training. MONTREAL, Jan. 2.—The next session ol the pominion Parliament promises to be kept as pusily engaged in investigating Conservative scandals as the last. Mr. Israel Tarte, the famous Independent Conservative journalist whose revelations last year put Sir Hector Langevin out of the cabinet and Hon. Thos. McGreevy out of the House itself,has publicly promised several times during the past few weeks to prove Sir Adolph Cown,the Minister of Militia, to be as bad a corruptionist as his jate knightly colleague. He also says he will show that the Government spent $500,000 in corrupting voters during the last general election. Thos. McGreevy, who was treas- urer of the fund, threatens that he, too, will blab in revenge for bein made a scapegoat. Chapleau is reported to be again in the sulks. He has been absent from Ottawa for nearly three weeks. He denies that he is ‘‘kicking’’ and says that his absence from the capital is due toasevere cold. His friends, however, declare that he is growing impatient at the failure of Premier Abbott to reconstruct the Cabinet. Several of the ministerial journals are impatient, too, and some of them*openly express their discontent at Abbott's inaction. The Montreal Gazette, the chief Tory organ ino Quebec Province, is rather mild in its lan- guage on the subject, but the Montreal Star | guys bluntly: ‘‘Jt was thoroughly underst®od when the old Ministers remained in their places after the burial of the iate leader that this was only a temporary arrangemept to get through what was hoped to be the short balance of the session, and that immediately on prorogation there would come a drastic reconstruction. The Premier himself was.a stop-gap compromise. The twomen who were spoken of were Sir John Thompson and Sir Charles Tupper. But no one imagined that this straggling forma- tion and parlor-car leadership would be con- tinued.’’ If Abbott had any persona! tnfla- ence or political capacity he could easily get over the difficulty that confronts him, but he has neither. That difficulty is the social and religious antagonism between the Conserva- tives of Ontario and those of Quebec. The late Sir John Macdonald succeeded by his consummate tactin putting his followers in both provinces on the backs, and in making them believe that he was their best and truest friend. There its none amongst the pres- ent leaders of the party, leastof all, Mr. Abbott, whocando the same And yet Ab- bott is determined bot to give up the Premiler- ship. FAITHFUL TO MERCLER. - The political campaignin the province of Quebec has opened in good earnest. The literals had thestart of thcir oppononts, which gives them an advantage, apart from the merits ofthe struggle. The polling day isaiong way of—March 8—but it will cer- tainly surprise a good many observers of pub- lic events if the Conservatives win. The Bale des Chaleurs affair has been overshadowed by the constitutional question that has been raised by the Liberals, and it will doubtless beuponthis issue that the confiict will be fought. Mr. Mercier’s personality will bea powerful factor as heisa sort of .popular hero amongst French-Canadians since his stand on the Riel execution. Rightly or wrongly, the great majority of them regara® him as the foremost champion oftheir race, their religion, and their constitutional rights On the other band Mr. De Boucherville, whom Gov. Angers has created Premier,is a political vecKkK number. Before his pres nt appoint- ment he had not been heard of since 1878, when he was relegated to the obscurity of the Upper House or Legisiative Council. Jhere be remained until Dictator Angers resuscitated him. He is a respectadie old gentieman of 70, belongs to the ultramontane school of Catholics, and doesn’t like the Lnglish. L'Electeur of Qhebec, the leading Liberal organ published in the French lan- ruage, recently wroteto a number of emlil- neni constitutional lawyers t!iroughout the Dominion, including Premier Mowatt of Ontario, and Premier Greenway of Manitoba, asking them their Opinion as to the Governor’s aclionin dissolving the Legislature on the eveoft a session which has been called in or- dertocomply with the law providing that at least One session must beheld every year. With one or two exceptions they are all &zreed that Angers has violated the Constil- tution. Premier Montt and Premier Green- Way are emphatic upon the point in their re plies, and they further state that Angers bas, »y bis legal action, endangered the liberties Of the people of Quebec. The Hon. Charles liarke, ex-Speakerof the Ontario Legisia- ture, ardently deciared Gov. Angers’ con- duct to"be without precedent in Canada, and sisoin Great Britain since the daysof the revolution of 1685. The Hon. David Mills, M. ’., says that Angers has violated the funda- remem laws from which he derives his au- iority. A POWERFUL SPEAKER. In consequence of a dispute between Speak er Marchand of the Getunct Quebe@ Legis- ative Assembiy-and Mr. Halli, the new Vrovincial lreasurer, it is ramored that there is guinea to be some serious trouble of a novel sescription. The Speaker, it will be remem- bered, retains his oMce till his successor is A} pointed, When Parliamentor the Legis- lative Assembiy is Gissoived the Speaker thereof is the only direct representative of the people until the new House mects. As he has control of the issuing of writs for the ®ecUons,and a lot of other electoral ma- tuinery, he Can create a good deal of em- arrassment if he likes. Itappears that Mr. Lallunintentionally hurt Marchand’s feel- ‘oes over a government check and has not rel apologized. SHEEP RAISING. “ome little interest is being aroused fimongst farmers by the recent experimen ts 4\ the Ontario Experimenta! Station, Guelph, which have shown that a profitable trade can be done inthe English market by winter feeding of lambs. Ithas also been demon- strated that sheep rearing is a profitable ranch of agriculture. In this respect the farmers are somewhat blind to their own jiterests, a6 comparatively very few sheep Are kept in Ontario i@ proportion to the humber that might be advantageously ral-ved, Hitherto there has been a too general Inclination to place value upon animais With especial reference to woo production anc to calculate the profit of sheep rearing by the price of that article. When, some years ago, the price of long wool went down, a kmumber of farmers discarded sheep entirely, losing sight altogether of the factor Of mutton raising. oy Gid not recognize the fact that they were harvesting only one crop where it was possible to have two, with- outappreciably increasing flock rations or idding tothe routine of management, be- rond a ttle more care in breeding. there can be no doubt that at the present time there is @ general tendency in the Girection of mutton improvement, as never before have importations of pular mutton breeds been heavier than of late.

VILLAGE DOGBERERYS. City Officials at War With Each Other Over a Shockingly Improper Dance. CHILLICOTHE, Mo,, Jan. 2.—The Mayor and City Attorney of this city have had a falling out and are making themselves and the town ridiculous. Italicame of a dance which the City At- torney, being a good man, thought was im- proper. Healsothought it unlawful and in accordance with this view made out war- rants for a number of the participants, among whom was a member of the police force, chargingthem with attending an un- lawful assemDlage. When the first case came up for trial the Mayor spiked the City Attorney's guns by holding a special meeting of the Council and issued an order commanda- ing the attorney to dismiss the case. ‘ihe Mayor explained his position by stat- ing @ case could not be made out, and that prosecution would only end in useless litiga- tion; thatthe city would suffer a needless expense andtbat he world not permit the pecosscings. The attorney, however, said he grounds wereample fora case and de- clared that the dignity of the city must be maintained at all hagards. He caused an- other warrant to be issued. The trial came on and resulted tn an acquittal of the defend- ant and the depletion of the city’s exchequer. Then the attorney issueda warrant fora policeman, who it is alleged, was present when the following document was issued from the Mayor’s home, where he was con- fined by an attack of la grippe: Mr. W. E. Kern, City Attorney: CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Dec. 1891. You are hereby suspended and forbidden to exer- cise the duties as City Attorney for the city of Chilli- cothe untii further notice. CHARLES STEWART, Mayor. This notice was given to the City Marshal to serve, who handed it to J.-E. Waite, Mr. Kerns’ partner, who accepted it, and made the following brief though expressive return: Mayor Stewart: You go to —— in a hand basket. (Signed. ] W. FE. KEEN, er Waite. The Mayor then called a special meeting of the Council for the followingafternoon. Upon assembling, he opened the Hall by delivering , Christian Advocate, a bricf address tothe City Attorney. stating | in substance that their former intercourse had been very pleasant, but that differences had arisen, and thatthey were entirely at variance; that his confidence in his ability as an attorney had become some- what shaken and, in his official opinion, it was Incumbent on the City Attorney to re- tract his views or that his resignation as City Attorney for the greatest municipality in the Grand River valley would be accepted with pleasure. Attorney 9. E. Waite, who was present off behalf of the prosecutin attorney, then arose and attempted to address the Assem- bly when Councilman Welsh from the Third Ward in rich Irish headed him off by ad- cressing himself tothe Mayor: ‘*Yer Honor, Ol don’t think that a man who would show such disrispict tothe Mayor by sinding him sooch an ungintlemanly missage as this man | did should be permitted to address this hon.- | orable body."’ Mr. Waite, who Is reputed to bethe ugliest man anja good lawyer, thus finding himself corked up simply said, ‘If we can’t be heard tn this court there is one | where we can be heard,’’ put on his hat and left the Council Chamber. Mr. Kern then arose and in a few caustic | remarks defined his position. He acknowl- edged that he was honored tn his appoint- mentand that he knew he was coing right. If anybody got in his way they would be crushed. Herefused to resign. He then de- inanded that specific charges be made. ihe case against t been conrinwed penting the settlement’ of the official trouble.

That Gerza has many influential sympathizersin this city there can be no doubt. Neither is the assertion—made by Capt. John G, Bourke of the United States Third Cavalry—that Garza obtained funds with which to carry on the war in this city questioned. It would Dave been a compara- tively easy matter for Garza to have spent some time here without being recognized, as he bad no acquaintance among the people of t its believe here that revolutionary movement is not down immediate! that. there is great danger of its spreading to the famine- stricken distPicts of Durango, Coahuila and San Luis Putosi, where the poorer classes would gladly embrace the opportunity of making war against the government, which they already regard with great disfavor, be- cause it has not come to the relief of their suffering and distress. The Department of War, under the direction of President Diaz, has been very active during the past several days in rushing troops to the frontier, the best equipped regiments ofthe army having been sent from the lower part of the repub- lic, The result of Garza’s operatiuns is awaited with interest and anxiety by Ameri. can and foreli investors here. There is probably nota section of country in the world where a@ greater abundance of wild honey is to be had for the gathering than in the coast district adjacent to Tam- pico. The natives earn a good livelihood by thering and selling the product. Seventy- five thousand dollars’ worthof this honey was exported last year from the port of Tam- pico to New Orleans and New York. The grippe has appeared again in Mexico, and there are severai hundred cases reported in thiscity at the present time. A number of deaths have occurred here during the past few days as a direct result of the malady. At Vera Cruz and Oaxaca the epidemic has as- sumed such a serious form that schools have been ordered closed. The recent death of Jose M. Ygiesias in this city was caused by @ fall cown an elevator shaft ina private house. He was one of the most celebrated men in Mexico, being at one time Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Vice-President of the Repubiic. He was with Juarez in ail his wanderings during the retgn of Maximilian and the French intervention. He wrote a cowplete history of the latter, which is now accepted as a standard work.

There is a movement on foot here toimport a large number of Chinese laborers from Cal- fornia into the southern part of this coun- try, there being @ great Ceinand for that kind of labor on the coffee plantations inthe States of Vera Cruz and Oxaca.

New YorkK, Jan. 2.—A very pretty war is on | between Col. R. G. Ingersoll, the agnostic, Buckley, editor of the the leading exponent of Methodist thought in America.

He says that there are lies in your Christmas sermon published in the Post-Disprarcu.’’ *‘lam much obliged toyou for showing me Dr. Buckley’s paper. Thereisin the article the true Christian #@pirit. Whenever an orthodox editor attacksan unbeliever, look out for kindness, charity and love. The | gentle editor of the Christain Advocate charges me with having written three gigantic false- hoods and he points them out as foliows: First, Christianity did not come with tidings of great joy, but witha message of eternal grief. Second, it (Christianity) has filled the future with fearand flame,.and made God the keeper ofan eternal penitentiary, des- tined to be the home of nearly all the sons of men. Third, not satisfied with that, it (Christianity) has deprived God of the par- doning power. Now let us take up these gigan- tic falsehoods in their order and see whether they are in accord with the New | Testament or not—whether they are sup- ported by the creed of the Methodist Church. : Ingersoll’s attention | He was. I insist that Christianity did not come with | tidings of great joy, but with a message of eternal grief. According to the orthodox creeds Christianity came with the tidings that the human race was totally depraved, andthat all men were inalost condition, and that all who rejected or falled to believe the new religion would be tormented in eter- nalfire. These were not tidings of great joy. Ifthe passengers on some great ship were told that the ship was to be wrecked—that a | few would be saved and that nearly all would | gO to the bottom—would they talk of tidings | of great joy? It is to be presumed that Christ knew what his mission was and what he came for. Heseapas ink yt ti am come to senda perce on the éarth; Icome not to send peace, Dutasword. Forl am come toseta manat variance againsthis father, and the daughter against her mother.’ my judgement these are not tid- ings of great joy. Now, as to tne message of eternal grief? ‘Then shall he say also untothem on the left hand, de- part from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire pfepareda for the devil and his angels. And these shall go away into everiasting punishment; but the righteous (meaning the Methodists) into life eternal. He that be- lieveth not shall be damned. He that be- lieveth not the son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him which is able to destroy both sou) and body inhell. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever. **Knowing as we dothat but few people have been believers, that during the last 1,800 years not oneina bundred has died in the faith, and that consequently nearly all the dead are in hell, it can truthfully be said that Seay came with a message of eternai grief. **Now as tothe second gigantic falsehood,to the effect that Christianity filled the future with fear and fame and made God the keeper of an eternal penitentiary destined to be the home of nearly allthe sons of men. Inthe Old Testament there is nothing about ishment in some other world, not about the flaines and torments heli. When Jehovah killed one of his enemies he was satisfed. His re- venge was glutted when the victim was dead. The Old Testament gave the future to sleep and oblivion. But in the New Testament we aretold that the punishment in another world Is everlasting and tbat the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for everandever. This awful doctrine, these frightful texts filled the future with fear and fame. Buliding on these passages, the orthodox churches have constructed a penl- tentiary in which nearly allthe sons of men are to be imprisoned and tormented forever, and of this prison God is the Keeper. The doors are opened only to receive. The doc- trine of eternal punisirment is the infamy of infamies. Asli have often said, the man who believes in eternal torment, in the justice of endless pain, is suffering from at ast two diseases—petrification ofthe heart and pu- trefaction of the brain. ‘*The next question:fis Has Christianityjde- petwed God ofthe pardoning power. The ethodist Church and every orthodox church teaches atthis life is a period of probation ; that ere is no chance given for reformation after death; that God gives no 4 path egy to repent in another worid, This isthe doctrine ofthe Christian world. If this dogma betrue, then a will never release a soul from hell—the oning power wtll never be exercised. ow happy God will be and how happy all he saved will be knowing that ovilllons and Dillions of his children, their fathers, mothers, sisters, wives, and children are convicts in the eternal dungeons and that words of pardon will never be spoken. Yet this is in accordance with the promise con- tained in the New Testament of happiness here and eternal joy hereafter to those who would desert brethren or sisters, or father or mother, or wife orchildren. It seems to me clear that Christianity did not bring tidings of great joy, but that it came with a message of eternal grief—that it did fill tne future with fear and fame, thatit did make God the keeper of an eternal penitentiary; that the penitentiary was destined to be the home of nearly all the sons of men and that it deprived God ofthe paraonping power. Of course you can fing passages full of peace in the Bible, others of war—some filed with mercy and others cruel as the fangs of a wild beast. According to the Methodists, God has an eternal prison—an everlasting Siberia. There its to be an eternity of grief, of agony and shame.’’ **What have you to say to the Doctor’s per- sonal abuse?’’ il, or *‘Notbing.

What They Are Doing in Charities Other Useful Fields. Itisa matter of surprise to anyone who takes the trouble to consider the subject for & Moment to note the obscurity which en- shrouds the charitable anda philanthropic works that the ladies of St. Louis have in Band at the present time, and have sup- ported for many years past. it is true that the spirit of true Charity seeks obscurity, but the noble virtue has attained so much success, thanks to the energy of philanthropic ladies, that public notice is absolutely necessary to guide the efforts aright. Some few of these enterprises have been ina flourishing condl- tion for over thirty years, many are the product of recent years and not a few have speak into being within the year just ended. The objects , of these works are various and embrace all the varied Wants of the human race, which only the mind of woman, trained in matters of detall, can comprehen. These works aré multiplying every day. It is patent that the orkers in the vineyard should te horoughly order with each r en To take but a_ single in- the Woman’s Christian Associa- with its five local branches. w people outside or the active members, are aware that these united char ities expended $40,000in the works of charity in 1600.

The SUNDAY Post-Disratcu willtake time and space to set the objects, the methods, the means and the doings of these multiple works of the be- Mevolent ladies of the clty before the public, with the hope that it will be to many a pleas- ant and interesting surprise. Woman's Training School. ‘ Ofthe several branches of the Women’s Christian Association none can be be con- sidered superior to her sister organizations in the energy of her managers and their bility of purpose. The Women’s Training hool, the third inthe order of birth, hs come before the public in the past week in a rticular manner, on account of the suc- ssful reception and promenade concert for he benefit of this charity, at Anchor Hall, efferson and Park avenues, last Thureday evening. The Training School aims to ald Geserving girls and women in obtaining a Menns of livelihood and to provide them Doard and lodging while they are awalting @mployment. Day by day women are berom- ing more numerous in every line of business they must be trained for the work. The subject of training classes was broached before the associationas long ago as 1876, and a cooking school was discussed in 1880. Neither of these projects had any foateriali results. The question wasreviewed in i881. and Miss Juliet Carson of the New York Cooking School, was engaged to give two courses of lessons in cookery, to test the sentiment of the public upon the subject. ‘be iadies canvassed assiduously and rought the course toa most successful issue. But the association did not feel itself able to make this newW venture at that time, because had the obligations incurred by the Omorial Home to defray, funds to ratse for © Women’s Christian Home and the ex- mses of the International Conference of omen’s Christian Associations to pay. The ooking School did not therefore open its inviting doors until a later day. The association returned tothe task in Jan- Mie” 1sf2, Mrs. Dr. Hodgen, Mrs. D. Arnold, rs. J. H. Louderman and Mrs. C. C. Rain- Water wore appointed a committees to found the training school. They met for the first time at Mrs. Louderman’s residence, Feb. 16 ofthat year. The ladies went right to the heart of their business. They outlined the work to be done and nominated the following Micers: Miss Mary 8S. Moore, President; rs. W. L. G. B. Allen, Vice-President; Mrs. Arthur Gale, Treasurer; Mrs. M. Moore, Secretary. The labor Yad only begun. A board of managers was required, and funds were needed. Theinfant charity was sadly of on Oct. 65, 1882. The boara haa retited the building 1801 street at 35 0Ctié‘iaal month. It f not the money to furnish it; in fact it had only $40 in the treasury ,not enough to pay next month's rent. But these sad-eyed diMiculties were the very cAuses of success, for the ladies by the greatest exertions secured funds to put 6verything in rendiness for the opening Classes. The managers were in a quandary tO know where to secure teachers. “Why,’’ said one original mind, each take a class ourselves. **You are asplendid cook; take the cook- ing class. I willhelp you and some one else will volunteer for the sewing-school.’’ Ahd so it was done without extra ex- nse. The ladies volunteered their serv- es and for four years were splendid teachers. The board ascribes all its success tothis Organization. Mrs. W. L. G. = Allen had charge of a cooking class, and rs. J. F. Aglar taught inthe same depart. ment. Mrs. J. D. Lawnin was the oe in the sewing class, and Mrs. J. **‘let us recept- » Swan ught needlework. These were all the sses Opened that year. he first reguiar election, held Jan. 21, » resulted in the choice of Mrs. Frank lley, President; Mrs. W. L. G. B. Allen and rs. ©. C.

The Board soon found that 1901 Olive street was out of the reach of the scholars and they Geeeres 807 North Fourth street, in February, . Alun¢h room for industrial women was ned, and the curriculum of the school was a Stenography, typewriting and : ane were addedto the accomplish- ments already taught. The school grew so rapidiy that it was obliged to take the build. ing, 609 North Fourth street, in addition to its other quarters, But another move became imperative, and in 1887 the school opened its classes a ee present quarters, 618 North .

Each one was given two bulky boxes. One contained a host of sweets from the capacious bakery of Santa Olaus; the other contained articies of wearing apparel fresh from Santa’s looms and factories. Forty-eight children received presents, and strange to say each one got what he or she was most In need of. The Executive and Financial Committee of the South Side Nursey will méet to-morrow morning, at the residence of Mrs. C. M. Woodward, 1761 Missouri avenue. The new hot water furnaces have been a boon tothe nursery. Heretofore,. the build- ing has been heated by antiquated stoves. Home of the Friendless.

Business of im- portance relative to the work of the new year will be transacted and all members are re- quested to be present. -AHOMELIKE HOME. Novelties in Decorations and Furnishing— A $10,000 Room. If there is any home thatis thoroughly un- homelike it is the place that has been put into the hands of some unsympathetic decorator and furnished upon the sharp, stern lines laid down by Some cerrect epoch of design. It is all well enough to bave a home furnished correctly, but a house needs the stamp of personality to make it all and wholly a home, forthe occupant ig bereft ofa large share of pleasure if her establishment is robbed of all reminiscence and sentiment.

Itis becoming more and more the fashion to hang lace curtains straight so as toshow their tuil design. For some time past the public have - been looking for an adjastable grille with shelf attachment,upon which to place bric-a-brac, the whole tobe arranged over windows or doorwaystorelleve this portion of a room, which is usually dependent upon a curtain ole. The great trouble has always been hat they had to be made to order, as win- dows and doors vary in width. Now, bow- ever, a device is made narrow enough to go into the narrowest doorway. Itis in two sections, running upon a sliding top bar; by drawing these pieces apart they can be ex- tended to the width of the door, and the open place left inthe center of them is fur- nished with a short drapery. Anew form of draping the giass panel in the front door is a deviation from the simple muslin sash curtains. We will presume that the glass panel is fifteen inches wide, down the center ioraspace of about six inches wide is a silk net work in a mesh as big asa quarter ofa dollar. On each side of thisisa length of silk drapery four or five inches wide, This scheme its varied by arranging the network in other forms, in cross stripes or diagonals. It is a singular fact that the footstools made inthis country are all of a@ common kind. Everything in this linethat is beauti- fuland rich comes from Europe. They are called tabourets, and the name indicates the daintiness of the thing, much better than plain ‘‘footstool.’’ Some of the tabourets that come from Paris are elaborate affairs o... 2a and maroon.

Some of the oid castles in Europe are ver- itably art museums of house furnishings. Until recent years they have been guarded with a jealous eye, but now their doorways have beeh thrown open and we hence find some of the most marvelous pieces of cabi- net work reproduced in American shops.

Allthe rat-catchers of the country were notified that they would be paid a cer- tain sum for heads, and behold intothe fur- shops they came bringing barrelson barrels of rat heads.

St, Fouis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, January 8, 1899, . “MARK TWAIN AS ACOURIER. The Tourist Tells of His Futile Effort to Get His Party From Aix-les- Bains to Bayreuth. Written for the SUNDAY PosT-D1sPATCH. A time would come when we must go from Aix-les-Bainestto Geneva, and from .thence by a series of day-long and tangled journeys to Bayreuth in Bavaria. I should have to have @ courier, of course, totake care of s0 considerable a party as mine: But I procrastinated. The time slipped flong,andat lastI woke up one day to the fact that we were ready to move and had no courtier, I then resolved upon what I felt was a foolhardy thing, but Iwasinthe humor of it. Isaid I would make the first stage with- out help—I did it. I brought the party from Aix to Geneva by myself—four people. The distance was two hours and more, and there was one change of cars. There was not an accident of any kind, except leaving a valise and some other mat- ters on the platform, a thing which can hardly be called an accident, it is socommon. So I offered to conduct the partyall the way to Bayreuth. This was @ blunder, though it did not seem soatthetime. There was more detail than I thegght there would be: 1. Two persons whom we had left in a Genevan pension some weeks before must be collected and brought to the hotel. 2. I must notify the people on the Grand Quay, who store trunks, to bring seven of our stored trunks to the hotel and ‘carry back seven, which they would find piled in the lobby. 3. I must find out what part of Burope Bayreuth was in,and buy seven railway tickets for that point, 4. I mustsend a telegram toa friend in the Netherlands. 5. It was now 2in the afternoon, and we must look sharp and be ready for the first night train and make sure of sleeping car tickets. 6. I must draw money at the bank. It seemed to me that the sleeping car tick- ets must be the most important thing, sol went to the station myself to make sure; hotel messengers are not always brisk people. It was a hot day, and I ought to have driven, Dut it seemed better economy to walk. It did not turn out so, because I lost my way and trebiled the distance. I applied for the tickets, and they asked me which routel wanted to go by, and that embarrassed me and made me lose my head, there were so many people standing around and I not knowing anything about the routes and not supposing there were going to be two; sol Judged it best to go back and map out the road and come again. Itook acabthis time, but on my way up- stairs at the hotel I remembered that I was out of cigars, so I thought it would be wel! to get some while the matter was in my mind. It was only around the corner and I didn’t need the cab. I asked the cabman to walt where he was. Thinking of the telegram and trying to word it in my head, I forgot the cigars andthe cab, and pralked on indefin- itely. Iwas goingto have the hotel people send the telegram, but asI could not be far from the post-office by this time, I thought I would doit myself. Butit was further than I had supposed. I found the place at last and wrote the telegram and handed it in. The clerk was a sever e- looking, fidgety man, and he began to fire French questions at mein such a liquid form that I could not detect the joints between his words, and this made me iose my head again. But an 6 ye stepped up and said the clerk wanted to know where he was to send the telegram. Icould not tell him, because it was not my stelegram, and I ex- plained that I was mefely sending it fora member of my party. But nothing would cify the clerk but the address; sol said hat if he was so particular I would go back and get it. However, I thought I would go and collect those lacking two persons first, for it would ' pe best to do everything systematically and I had—so I judged I - a > ' found the in order, and one detailatatime. ThenIre- membered the cab was eating up my sub- stance down at the hotel yonder, so I cailed another cab and toid the man to go fetch it to the Post-office and wait till I came. I had a long hot walk to collect those peo- ple,and when I got there they couldn’t come with me because they had heavy #eatchels and must have acab. I went away to find one, but before Iran across any I no- ticed that I had reached the neighborhood of the Grand Quay—at least iI thoucht could save time by stepping around and arranging about tbe trunks. Istepped around abouta mile, and although Idid not find the Grand Quay! founda cigarshop and remembered about the cigars. Isaid Il was going to Bayreuth, and wanted enough for the journey. The man asked me which route I was going to take. Isaid I did not know. He said he would recommend meto goby Zurich and various other places which he named, and offered to sellme seven second class through tickets for $22 apiece, which would be throwing off the discount which the railroads allowed him. I was already tired of ag second- class on first-class tickets so I took him up. By anc by I found Natural & Co.’s storage -office, andtold them to send seven of our trunks to the hotel and pile them up in the lobby. It seemed to me thatiwas not de- livering the wbole of the message, still it was all I could find in my head. . Next I found the bank and asked for some money, but I had left my letter of credit somewhere and was not ableto draw. Ire- membered now that I must have left it lyin on the table where I wrote my telegram; so gotacaband drove to the post-office and Went up-stairs, and they sald that a letter of credit had indeed been left on the table, but that it was now in the hands of the police au- thorities, and it would be necessary forme to go there and prove property. They senta boy with me, and we went out the back way and walked a couple of miles and place, and then I remembered about my cabs, and asked the boy to send them to me when he got back to the It was nightfall now, and the ne to dinner. I thought I pedinat half past ten, but said ate to do anything to-night—come at 9:30in the morning. The officer wanted to keep me all night, and said I wasa susp!i- cious looking person and probably did not own the letter of credit, and didn’t know what a letter of credit was, but merely saw the real owner leave it lying on the table, and wanted to get it because I was probably a person that would want anything he could get. whether it was valuable or not. But the mayor said he saw nothing suspicious abovt me, and that I seemed a harmless person and nothing the matter with me but a dering ind, and not much ofthat. So I Ghanked im and he set megfree, and I went home in my t cabs. As I was dog-tired, and in no condition to newer questions with discretion, 1 thought would not disturb the expedition at that time of night, as there was a vacant room I knew ofat the otherendof the hall; but I did not quite arrive there,as a watch had been set, the expedition being anxious about lling situation.

We recommend him; das heiss, the Grande Hotel Beau Rivage recom- mends bim.’’ I declined with coldness. My spirit was not broken yet. And I did not iike having my condition taken notice ofin this way. I was at the county jail by 9 o’clock, hoping that the Mayor might chance to come before his regular hour; but he didn’t. It was dull there. Eve time I offered to touch any- thing, or look at anything, ordo ansthing, or refrain from doing anything, the policeman said it was *‘defendee.’’ I thought I woulda ractice my French on him, but he wouldn’t ave that, either. It seemed to make him particularly bitter to hear his own tongue. The Mayor came at last, and then there was notrouble; forthe minute he had con- vened the Supreme Court—which they always do whenever there is valuable property in dispute—and got everything shipshape and sentries posted, and had prayer by the Chap- lain, my unsealed letter was brought and opened, and there wasn’t anything init but some photographs; because,as Il remembered now, I had taken out the letter of credit so as to make room forthe photographs, and had put the letter in my other pocket, which I roved to everybody’s satisfaction by fetch- ng itoutand showing it with a good deal of exultation. So then the court looked at each other ina vacant kind of way, and then at me, and then at each other again and finally let me go, but said it was ingprudent for me to be at large, and asked me what my a fession was. I said I was a courier. hey lifted up their eyes in a kind of reverent way and said: ‘‘Du Meber Gott!’’ andi saida word of courteous thanks for their apparent admiration and harried off to the bank. However, being a courier was already making me a great stickler for order and syetem and ome thing at a time and each thing in its own proper turn; sol passed by the bank and branched off and started for the two lacking members of the expedition. A cab lagied by, and Itook it upon rsua- sion. Igained no speed by this, but it wasa re turnout andI liked reposefulness.

There was a good deal of a crowd, and they had that pleased ana interested look which such a crowd wears when they see that some- body is out of luck. The horse was asleep, andso was the driver, and some boys had hung them and me fullof gaudy decorations stolen from the innumerable banner poles. see a scandaloys spectacle. The officer Said: **I’m sorry, but we can’t have you sleeping here all day.’’ I was wounded and said with dignity: **I beg your pardon, I was not sleeping, I was thinking.’’ ‘*Well, you'can think if you want to, but you’ve got tothink to yourself; you disturb the whole neighbortiood,’’ It wasa poor joke, but it madethe crowd laugh.

Then a woman away up there sung out: ‘Oh, they? Why I got them a caband they left here long ago—8:30, I should say.’’ It was annoying. I glanced at my watch, but didn’t say anything. The officer said: ‘*It is 11:45 you see. You should have inquired better. You have been asleep three- quarters of an hour, and tn sucha sun as this. You are baked—baked black. It ig wonderful.

It was the first time I had known them todo a rational thing, and it was very confusing. This is one of the things that makeacourier’s life so dificult and uncertain. Just as matters are going the smoothest, his people will strike a lucid interval, and down go all his arrangements to wreck and ruin, The train was to leave at 12 noon sharp. It was now ten minutes after12. I could at the station in ten minutes. I saw I had no great amount of leeway, for this was the ightning express, andon thecontinent the lightning expresses are pretty fastidious about getting away some time during the ad- vertised day. «My people were the only ones remaining in the waiting-room; everybody else had passed through and ‘‘mounted the train,’’ as they say in those regions.

One of the hardest situations in life, I think, is to be fullof grief anda sense of defeat and Shabbiness that way, and yet have to put on an outside ofarchnessand gavyety, while all the time you know that your own expedition, the treasures of your heart, and whose love and reverence youare by the custom of our civilization entitled to, are belug consumed with humiliation before strangers to see you earning and getting a compassion which is a stigma, a Drand—a brand which certifies you to be—oh, anything and everything which is fatal to human respect. I said cheerily it was all right, just one of those little accidents that was likely to hap- pen to anybody. I would bave the right tickets In two minutes, and we would catch the train yet and moreover have somethin to laugh aboutall through the journey. i did get the tickets in time, all stamped and complete, but then it turned out that I couldn’t take them, because in taking so much pains about the two missing members I had skipped the bank and hadn’t the money. So then the train left, and there didn’t seem to be anything to do, but go back to the hotel, which we did; but it was Kind of melancholy and not much said. I tried to start a few subjects, like scenery and and transubstantiation and those sorts of things, bat’ they°didn% seem to hit the weather right. We haa lost our good rooms, but we got some others which were pretty scattering but would answer. I judged things would brighten now, but the Head of the Expedi- tion said sendup the trunks. It made me feel pretty cold. There was a doubtful some- thing about that trunk business, I was almost sure of it. I was going to suggest— Buta wave of the hand was sufficient to warn me, andi was informed that we would camp for three days and see if we could rest up. 4 said all right, never mind ringing. I would go down and attend tothe trunks my- self.

MARK TWAIN, SIR JOHN LUBBOCK. A Sketch ofthe Banker, Statesman and Philosopher of England. Specia! Correspondence SUNDAY PoOSsT-DISPATCH. LONDON, Dec. 2.—If the question were asked, ‘‘What ts Sir John Lubbock?’’ his most familiar friend would find it no easy one toanswer. SirJohn ts so many things one hastothinka good while to determine which he is most. Primarily heis a banker, and a very great banker too, one of the greatest in the city of London. He comes of a long line of eminent bankers, and he him- self entered Lubbock’s Bank in Lombard street, as a clerk when he was only 14. At the age of 21 he became a partner in the ‘bank, and he has ever since taken an active and responsible share in its affairs. He has been recog- nized formany years, in fact,as a repre- sentative London banker, and was chosen first President of the Institute of Bankers and honorary Secretary of the Association of London Bankers. He is oneof the few bankers, who like Mr. LCLidderdale, Gov- have been appointed to the Priv ave the cil inorder that the crown may advantage of their advice on state questions affecting currency and commercial finance generally. Robartes, Lubbock & Co,’s Bank ranks with those which come just. next to the Bank of England and the ndon and Westminster; and in that bank Sir John Lub- bock is the moving spirit. Yet thousands and tens of thousands of people who see and hear most of Sir John never have any reason = snow that be ia connected with ness a ‘ He is a Baronet and country gentleman by long inheritance, and fulfils his duties as such tothe entire satisfaction of his neigh- bors, rich and r: and for ten years he sat in Parliament for Maidstone, the tee, My ne of Kent, where his ancestral property is sit ated. But by all his strongest aMilia is a thorough Londoner. For the past eleven ears he represented the London University nthe House of Commons, and he is Chair- man of the London County Council, the most important and truly representative position that any citizen of the great metropolis can hil. There could, perhaps, be No more strik- ing evidence of the place he holds as a Lon- doner than the fact that at the first election for the County Council he rece!ved 8,900 votes out of 10,000 that were recorded.

The view he t don is the heart of En-/ | Yet no member’s bills are ee —_ ee more kindiy treated by the Tory lords than his are, wien they reach the Upper House. It seems a stirring, exciting, absorbing, exhausting life that he leads in the city, in metropolitan politics and In Parliament. Yet, how small a part of his real existence all this really forms. To get at the man him- self, in those phases of his nature where he may most truly be said tolive and have bis being, we must lock the banking-house door, turn out the lights of St. Stephen's, shake the dust of the London streets from off our feet and go with him to his home among the lavender gardens in Surrey. There, amlist all sweet rural surroundings, and walied in by the bound thoughts of the greatest and best and tenderest minds of all ages, he with.- draws from men to commune with pDature., Yet, not for his own intellectnal enjoy- ment, for such a man finds enjoyment in all he does, but always for the delight and instruction and elevation of others.

The Women’s Franchise League of London discussed at their last meeting the position of women. Mrs. Jacob Bright presided.

CHARGES AGAINST THE DREWS OF “SPRINGING A CHESTNUT.” “That Girl From Mexico” Said to Be a Stolen Play—Farces and Melodramas Hold the Boards at the Opening of the New Year. Special Cor. SUNDAY Poat-DisPatcn. Copyright. NEw YORK, Dec. $1, 1891.—The last week of the good old year of 1891 is not being passed in New York theatrical circiés in that gentle harmony of spirit which alone should sur- round the death-bed of the year. There are three causes for this state of things, and each ofthe three is eminently characteristic of New York. The first is that in the very bloom of a brilliant run It has been discovered that Mr. and Mrs, Sidney Drew, whoare producing Mr. Archibald D. Gordon’s play, ‘‘That Girl From Mexico,’’ at the Standard, have actually had the audacity to spring a ‘‘chest- nut’’ upon Gotham. The critics have learned in some way that the whole play, with the exception of the frst act, is stolen almost bodily from Charles Mathews’ two-act farce, **Who Killed Cock Robin?’’ which was, in its turn, stolen from the French, and they are wild about it. They even upbraid Mr. Archibald Gordon, the author, hecause, when that gentleman was called before the curtain recently by enthusiastic admirers of his play, he did not tell the audience that the play was at the opening of 1893. Of these the ‘‘Lost Paradise’’ is being produced at Proctor’s Twenty third Street Theater, under Mr. Frohman’s direction, to houses at least a 100th-night aftniversary even more brilliant than the fiftieth, which It celebrated jJast week. ‘‘The Power of the Press’’ is play- ing @ good return engagementat the Grand ra-house, after which it will start est.

And speaking of revivals, Manager Murtha put Boucicault’s shop; worn old Frenchy sensation, ‘‘Led Astray,’’ on the boards of the Windsor Theater Monday night, with Rose Kytinge once more in the ne part. It was something ofa queer reminiscence to New Yorkegs, but it seemed to take pretty wel., Messrs. Frank Roberts and W.F. diitton gave Miss Eytinge her principal support, and the performance as u whole was creditable, But it was very like grave-robbery, this res- urrection of **Led Astray.*’ At the People’s Theater ‘‘After Dark’’ was the New Year’s week attraction, with Manager Brady as **Old Tom.’’ Charles McCartby in ‘‘Une of the Braveést’’ is playing at H.

Special Correspobdente SUNDAY POst-DisPatcH. » Lowboy, Dee. 2.—The most notable devel- opment In the London dramatic world at present Is the Beginning of the remarkable movement to establish what its advocates call ‘‘a Uterature of the drama,’’ meaning, however, the publishing of acting- plays for, private reading. Itisan experiment so dar- ing as to deserve the term foolhardy, but as it promises that great boon of this fin de siecle,a new sensation, it is at least charitable not to condemn it without a fair public trial, Dramatist Pinero is the first Quintus Curtius to leap into the—at present—vold chasm of modern unpublished playwrights and at-- tempt to fill ft up with folios of published plays. Heis just beginning the pubiication of his own, which have beyond question been successful as *‘acting dramas,’’ S80 recent is his beginning, indeed, that there has been as yet notest case of the popularity of a dramatic work surviving the process of belag transplanted from behind the foot- lights to under the lam plight. But Mr. Pinero, pending the verdict on this point, certainly deserves some admiration for hig tearlessness in subjecting an estab- lished reputation to such a test. It ig an- nounced thatthe publication of Mr. Pinero’s dramatic works will be followed by those of Henry Arthur Jones, Mr. Pettit, Sir Augastus Harris, Mr. Henry Hamtiton and Mr. Robert Buchanan. Without any prejudice in the matter whatever, by that time I think t will. have been discovered that such literary skeletons as the modern plays ao bat coldly furnish forth the intellectual feast demanded by the modern reader. And they will be left unread on the publishers’ shelves, and the 6 of trying to make the public read them at home, as well as see them at the theatres will be abandoned.

GILBERT’S NEW OPERA. The Rehearsal Audience Pronounos ‘The Mountebank’’ a Success. Low pow, Jan. 2.—When the curtain fell to- night on the final dress rehearsal of Gilbert’s new opera, ‘‘The Mountebank,’’ there was no question whatever about its being a suc- cess, but whefher it will be a very great suc- cess, and succeed in getting that firm grip on popular favor which means a long run and overflowing box office receipts, can- not be decided until the first public performance Monday night. After repeated postponments due to unfor- tunate Alfred Cellier’s feeble health and re- cent death, it is settied now that the opera will be produced next Monday night. That it is ripe for production is clear from the fact that Gilbert, who is the most critical of stage managers, allowed the final rehearsal to go through this evening with only two iInter- ruptions. The audience at the rehearsal was composed mostly of prof men and women whose business compels them to be absent from first night’s audiences. Their verdict was that Gilbert’s libretto is clever and that Cellier has writ- which will become . - Of bhaks re’s § .

Chambers’ play* has been modified since the premier and is doing well. Dan Frobman bas purchased it for America. George Edwards’ New Gaiety Burlesque and Sir Augustus Harris’ Pantomime are both drawing more people than the theaters will hold. The big Olympia building is crowded for two rformances caty to see Imre Kiralfy’s Spectacular Venice. The visit of the Royal Family this week gives it a great boom. The gondoliers, scene shifters and ballet women struck last night for more pay. Kiralfy had to give it or close the show, so he conceded the advance. Irving’s ‘‘Henry VIl1.’’ for Tuesday night will be the theatrical event of next week. Irving is spending mote money on this than be ever has on any previous play, and ex- pects to make it the crowning event of his stage career. A DEAF MUTE AT THE OPERA.

It is com- ical that this indignation should originate in a city which hails Dion Boucicault as the father and patron saint of all its drama- tists. But after the critics get through with their cries of ‘‘Stop thief!’’ they give quite a lot of praise to Mr. and Mrs. Drew, and also, it is pleasant to add, to young Miss Phyllis Rankin, another daughter of ‘‘Oanuck’’ McKee Rankin.

St, Louris Yost-Bispatch, Sunday, Yanunry 8, 1899. BOULEVARDS’ COST. |RirRiniAR Sina cis? am us “DIGNIFYING DOMESTIC WORK.” Mrs. C. H. Stone Discusses Two Ways of Working Towards That Opjeot. Mrs. C. H. Stone of this City, who has taken great interest in, the @igscussion which s0 deeply interests good hogsewives and good servants, contributes the following: There has been talk of a combined effort for dignifying housework. ,To successful, such an effort must eed in two direc- tions. First there should be at stated times, discussions of all the Knotty problems in this subject, the obstacles to overcome, the means to be used. Such discussions would interest all women and should be open to all who could listen to any, chance mention of womanly foibles, withoug losing self control; better still, they would cOmmit no one to any work but talking or listening, and the listener would be just as. important as the talker. True, certain lines of work might result from such discussions, sincé they would bring together the women already helping in this direction and those who want to help and do not know how; but there should be no compulsion. The object of these talks would need to be very broad. If they considered only the needs of this or that class of housekeepers or only the frills of housekeppipg, instead of the drudgery also, the movement would not only defeat itself but do harm. This would be espetially true whenthe question of do- mestic service had the floor. For instance, it would be a waste of time to discuss only the trained, intelligent girl, Asa Class these giris are the salt of the earth, and the house- keepers\who have known them hold them in grateful remembrance, for life is a burden Withoutthem. But they know as well as we that there is a larger class of untrained girls who often retuse to improve themselves, and who are.causing all this criticism, It would be equally shortsighted to consider only the needs of the housekeepers who can raise wages and make concessions indefi- Ditely, when those who can keep only one iri for general housework are the ones who do most of the irksd@ime training. Such a club must of cougsge take up the needed reforms in our homes; but it should make positive distinctions between the girl who needs to have her work lessened and those whoare overworked. because they re- fuse to become systematic and orderly. It should pledge itseif also not to perpetuate the too Common sentiment that if a girl has an incapable, unreasonable or unkind mis- tress, that excuses-her from earning her wages. A sense of responsibility is too scarce a trait of character, and it is a serious mat- ter to help decrease it in any way. Lastly it would be absurd to consider only means for humoring the present stpply in- stead of trying toincrease Kt in every iegiti- mate way, and it would be equally absurd to assume that elther mletress or maid was always right or always wrong, It is plain that such a club for discussing ways and means to dignifying domestic work, would be kept busy and animated. It would have its limitations however. it could create a public opinion in favor of domestic ability, but not the ability Itself. Talking can never do that, and even the public opinion would not reach those who need it most, There must be some device by which we can awaken a wide spread interest in house- hold skill and despatch; they are fast becom- ing lost arts. This is a Battle field where fashion, a growing indolence, a fillmsy educa- tion and multiplying pleasures, are all contending fercely T6P*G690"8 | “168T NI SUBLTIINS ATUAGCVYSRI AG Guonaoud NOFTioid | ‘S20 “pTOF)) "Sz0 ‘leATIG) *#@ ‘prey | T2%"6 other structures— uils. — | Complete Treatment, positories, Ointment in Capsules, pills; a Positive Cure for External, or age «3 Itching.

JOHN R. TANNER 18 WORKING HARD FOR * THE TREASURERSHIP. A Gaw-Mill Politician—The Tanner-Fifer Feud—Why Private Joe Keeps So Quiet —The Chairman of the Republican Com- mittee Has Exceedingly Slender Hope of Success. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Jan. 2.—John R, Tanner is putting his best foot forward in the way of securing the nomination for Treasurer of the State. John bas tasted the sweets of that Office and the memory is still lingering In his brain. The harvest reaped from taking care of the cash belonging tothe people of Illinois is so Very profitable that the gleaners are numerous in applying forrthe job to reap it. Lieut. Tanner is reaching out, as it were, with a thousand hands to catch the voters of the State. In order to accomplish this he has hired a stenographer in thiscity and gone Gown to his home in Louisville, Clay County. Back in his quietcountry saw mill home he paces the floor, runs his fingers wildly through his hair and dictates in the most vociferous way letters that breathe of strength of purpose, of great reforms and of the purity and intentions of the grand old party. These letters are sent to every nook and corner of the State, to every man that has @ post-office or who holds the importa nt and honorary position of overseer of high- ways. By this means Tanner keeps himself away ahead in the race. There are no op- ponents that are worthy of attention that caninany way measure their strength with him. He is master of the situation so far as ali other Republican aspirants are con- cerned. FIFER KEEPS QUIET. How about the fight between himand Gov. Fifer?’’ Fight! Why that was a joke, only given out to newspaper men for the purpose of a little sensation. Everybody is a friend to everybody else and they all join hands and swing around the circle. But still thereisa quiet but an unpublished truth that Tanner hates Fiferasthe devilis saidto hate holy water, andinthat respect the honors are even. Fifer gives as much as he rececives— notYfor publication, let it be remembered, but only as a matter of good faith—until after the election. If the whole truth were only known the Republican party in this State is in @ direful conmtmotion. The knife is freely used and it is with the utmost care that scalped heads are kept from the public gaze. Much of the mischief is crea far away m the scene of war, Washington contributing more than an or- Ginary share. Everybody knows that Callom has a hand in it, and Matthews, whoskimmed the surface of the State and quickly found what the —— thought of his chances, ger here and there whenever t may possibly do some But there is one fact striking- ly. apparent in all this internal strux- le and that is the silence of Gov. lifer. A man always so voluble and who is s0 suddenly stricken with the loss of speech isa puzzle to those who have watched him heretotore. The quiet thinking fellows say, **Hush,there’s a hen on,’’and no disturbance must be permitted until the period of incuba- tion has been passed—the period of incuba- tion being the nomination, and after that the election. For as time goes on the Democrats 6ay (he Republicans can shuffle as much as they please but they themselves will have something to say by and by. Recent events have shown that a little bee is still buzzing in the bonnet of Long Jones and Jones does nothing to discourage the in- sect. He thinks, as everybody knows, that needs an ideal man and where can ve found a truer representative than the shot tower gentleman of the mineral springs? Fifer has been good enough in a way, but, Ukea chip in porridge, while he does no harm nobody cancall to mind the benefits he bas wrought. Still it is generally conceded that Fifer will rec:ive the nomination, and then, aye, there’s the rub. Never before in the history of this State have the Republicans questioned thelr own suc- cess. Thatday has gone. The chairman of the Republican State Central Committees thinks there is a fixhting chance for success next yearandthatisall. The votes cannot be counted beforehand, as was once the rule, Gen. Palmer has been liere fora few days, but has nothing to say of @ political nature. He gives itout that the newspapers know more than he does about what is taking place in Washington. Hillsboro—Delegates Elected. HILLspono, l)., Jan. 2.—The opening of the new year finds busivess men in good shape for € prosper- ous beginning of the labors and anticipated trade of 1892.

The popularity and success of river excur- sions out of St. Louis is due entirely to the. safe and prudent management of the pio- neers and promoters of the business, Capts, Thorwegen and Grissom take no stock in the dangerous theory that any kind of boat is good enough for the excursion business. They believe that there is not anything too good for the business, and following this asa principle, have in their twenty years’ expe- rience provided for the public such notable Doats as the Great Republic, Henry Frank, Chouteau, Helena,Grand Republic and Oliver Beirne, all famous for their great size, stanchness, comfort dnd absolute safety. With these boats they have carried more than five millions of people without an accl- dent ofany kind. This isa remarkable rec- ord, and no better evidence of good and safe management could be offered. Their fag ship, the Grand Republic, the largest and “strongest boat afloat de- signed especially for the excursion busi- ness, licensed and equipped to carry 8,500 persons, is the greatest pleasur®» boat in the world and without a competitor for safety, room and comfort. This boat is en gaged annually by the Fresh Air ion for the weekly outing of the poor children, also by some of the largest public schools, the Liederkrang Club, the millers, the larger branches of the C. K. of A. and in fact all the large societies who look for safety, room and comfort. The Paul Tulane has been secured to take the place of the Oliver Beirne and will be run in connection with the Grand Republic. The Tulane is comparatively a new boat with capacity for about fifteen hundred people, and like most Southern boats is verv strongly built, fine and very fast. These boats open the season on the Ist of May, and the adver- tisement in to-day’s issue says they are now booking engagements, Itissaidthe steamer War Eagle, for the past fifteen or sixteen years plying between this city and Saint Paul, has been purchased by parties who are now fixing her up at Quincy, lll., for the excursion business. ASET OF TEETH. Trouble Between Dentist Jacobs and a Custcmer Over a Eet of Masticators. Hugh F. Gamelof Rush Tower, Jefferson County, Mo., applied to Assistant Prosecut- ing Attorney Estep yesterday for a warrant for Dr. L. Jacobs, the well-known dentist of 925 Olive street, for fraug. Gamel claimed that he gave Dr. Jacobs an orderfor a full set of teeth, Oct. 15 last, and paid him a part ofthe fee. Healleged that he forwarded the remainder, $30, as soon as he reached home. He satd the teeth were never sent himand that he called onthe doctor, but could not obtain either the money or the teeth. Mr. Estep told him to cali again. if the doctor stillrefused to give him satisfac- tion, and obtain a warant. Dr. Jacobs told a very different story. ‘*This man called atmy office Oct. 13 or thereabout. Iwas away on a visit and a man who used to hang around my office, but who has not been seen since, made a bargain with Gamel to make him ae full set of teeth with gold clasps, for $10, and he gave Gamel my receipt for the money. Gamelcalled the next day forthe teeth. Idid not kncw what the man was talking about, but when he told me his story linformed him that sucha bargain on my pats could not be kept for less than $40. But »ecause he paid over his money in my office I agreed- to make him the set for $30 crediting him with the _ $10. I sali that he would have to whit because his gums were enlarged. Hecalled a month later, but his gurms were swollen and I took his address, and promised to send him the teeth because he was so anxious for them. I was taken down with the gripand could not work, and so was my assistant. When we did fintsh the set we couid not find his ad. dress, and Iconsidered it bestto wait until he could come to town and have the set fitted in his mouth. He reached the city Thursday, and instead of calling on me went to Attorney Brock Storts. Gamel dropped in here yesterday and I showed him the teeth. Itold him his gums were still too large. No; he did not want the teeth, and asked if his attorney had been here. I told him I knew nothing of hisattorney. I made the teeth and offered them tohim. He went away threateningawarrant. Hedid go to Mr. Estep meer morning Dut got no satis- faction and he and his attorney came to me at 11 o’clock yesterday morning.. The attor- ney told him totakethe teeth, and he took them. lexacted a receipt from him for the articles and he wentawyay with his teeth fixed in his mouth. I#onsidered his gums too large andamof the same opinion still, but he got what he barywained for. SHIPPING DECREASED. Nova &cotia’s Bad Showing for the Year Passed. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Jan, The shipping of Nova shows a decrease of nine vessels and 741 tons during the past year. There are now on the registers of the Province 2,775 vessels of 462,304 tons. In New Brunswick there is a decrease in tonnage of 15,509 tons, but a decrease in the number of vessels of only one. In Prince Edward Island there has been a decease of 86 vessels and 2,580 tons.

HE CAN BEAT FIFER. So Thinks Ex-Benator Horace 8. Clark, Who Wants to Be Governor. FIFER HAS NOT KEPT HIS CAMPAIGN PLEDGES TO THE FAITHFUL. Clark Is a Favorite With the Grand Army Men—The Mattoon Man Thinks He Can Carry the State, But Doubts if Fifer Can — Courting the German Votes— Some Interesting Political News. CuIcaco, Jan. 2.—Ex-Senator Horace 5. Clark of Mattoon has taken the fleld as can- didate for Governor on the Republican ticket. He believes circumstances are favor- able for the nomination of some good Repub- lican other than Fifer, and he hasa settled conviction that he is that good Re- publican. ‘*Jong’’ Jones got back a few days ago from his trip into the country, where he satisfied himself that he had not received the ‘‘call’’ and threw up the sponge as a candidate, This left the field clear for some Other aspirant whocan unite the anti- Fifer factions, and Mr. Clark was the first to seize the opportunity. He has been feeling his way over the State tor some time and he thinks he has the {inside track of all the candidates except Fifer, and he says he can beat ‘‘Private Joe’’ in the convention. Clark came to Chicago Thursday and placed himselfin commupnica- tion with Grand Army people, who gave him such encouragement that yesterday he declared himself an open candidate, ‘‘to stay and go throughthe convention.’’ it appears that he has been able to unite in his support nearly all the Republican leaders in Cook County who oppose Fifer, and he las prac- tically concluded a strong alliance with Ger- man-Americans in this city which may result in his nomination. Clark and his followers are convinced that Fifer can not be noml- nated, and that should he by any crook or turn carry the convention he cannot be elected. His administration has not been satisfactory ana his ante-election promises remain for the greater part unredeemed. LUTHERANS OFFENDED BY FIFER. Moreover, he has offended the Lutherans by his attitude on the school question and he would fall farther behind his ticket than he did in 1889. This is in accordance with Republican reasoning and these views ap- pear tobe very strongly supported among tepublicans in Cook County. Clark, whose official position at the head of the Illinois De- partment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic gives him a strong pull with the old soldiers, is convinced that he can outrun Fifer and carry the convention. He has a very strong Grand Army following, while on the other hand those Republicans opposed to Fiter believe that they see in Clark the man who is going to lead them to victory. Capt. J. J. Healy took charge ofthe ex-Senator upon his arrival and assisted him during his visit to make connection with such political leaders as he desired to meet with. CLARK’S CAMPAIGN PROGRAMME. Clark’s campaign programme contemplates no antagonism with any of the candidates for State offices on the Republican ticket unless it be Tanner, and then only in case the latter persists in forcing himself upon the conven- tion for State Treasurer. Some of Clark’s ablest supporters say he wants a_ Ger- man on the ®icket for that place, and it is believed that he reached an understanding yesterday with the friends of Henry Wulff to thatend. Mr. Clark ha§ totally recoved from the onslaught committed upon hima short time ago, and yesterday he was looking the very picture of health. He was cheery and hopeful as to his prospects and talked freely. **l came up yesterday,’’ he said, ‘‘andam going home to-morrow. I want to say most emphatically that lam for Clark for Gov- ernor, and I consider my prospects very good = indeed. More than seventy-five prominent Republicans of Chicago have called to-day to pay me the complimenptsof the season and to give me assurances of support. llave received letters from hear- ly every county in the State, andall of them offer mestrong support. I have replied to all of these letters, xiving the assurance that Iam a candidate to and through the conven- tion. lam notagainst any other candidate particularly, for they are all my personal friends, but ham a candidate for Governor to stay.’’ a “Ww hat is the local feeling in your own sec- on?’’ ‘*Allof the papers in our county, Repub- lican and Democratic as well, have come out with editorials strongly in my favor, and I know of no opposition to myself on personal grounds any where.’’ ‘*What appears to be the feeling through- out the State as to the various candidates for Governor?’’ MR. CLARK IS VERY HOPEFUL. ‘*‘Itisone of deep and earnest inguiry. I regard the Republican party, en masse, as in better condition than it has been for years, and should sueb nominations be made that allof the Republicans could vote for them our wajority would be large.’’ ‘*‘How do you find the teeling among Cook County Republicans as to yourself?’’ ‘*When,the question of my becoming a can- didate was first sprung in iny own section I looked the field over before Isaid I would be a candidate, and 1 became well satisfied that there was a good chance for a new man. havea very largeand favorable acquaint- ance in Cook Ovounty, having lNved here a short time when I was a . I have naturally kept up my acquaintance, and having served In the State Senate and been a Delegate-at-Large to the last National Re- tape, Convention, and with my many usiness connections during the last twenty- five years I expected strong and friendly support in Chicago, and my expectations are fully realized,’’ WANTS THE HELP OF GERMAN VOTERS. Mr. Clark was exceedingly noncommittal on the educational question, and was Careful to say nothing offensive about Gov. Fifer.

THE NUMBER ALREADY TURNED IN IN ST. CLAIR COUNTY. The Probability Is That When All Returns Are in a Big Hole, Will Be Made in the State Funds—Over 350 Cases on the Circuit Court Docket—East Side Newa. . When the bill offering a bounty for the slaughter of sparrows passed the Illinois Legislature, there were doubtless many who thought nothing would come of it and’ that the price put upog their heads would not in- duce the killing of more thanafew. If there Were these, and they have not yet altered their opinion, they certainly will be bound to do so when the figures showing the actual number of sparrows killed in the State be- gins to come in. ‘The Clerk of St. Clair County has handled enough certificates calling for bounty warrants to know that the little birds.are being slaughtered by thous- sands. On the ist ult. the law went Into effect, and the killing of sparrows began, and when the clerk summed up bis figures at the end of the month be found that the number of dead sparrows for which he had issued bounty warrants ag- gregated 1,285. This figure is large enough in itself, but it does not nearly represent the number of sparrows killed in the county dur- ing the month. Most of the certificates pre- sented to him were drawn by the City Clerk of Belleville and were only for the bounty on the birds killed within the city Mmits. It is stated by persons living in other citiesin the county thatthe killing Is going on every- where, with apparently no signs of abate- mentand no diminution in the number of sparrows. The bounty certificates for birds killed outside of this city, however, have not yet been presented to the County Clerk for a very simple reason. Two cents foreach bird is the bounty to be paid, and the sparrow Killers, who live out- side of Bellville, will not come tothis city to get their bounty until they have certificates for many times this small sum. Conse- quently there are hundreds of persons wno hold certificates for the bounty on thousands of dead. sparrows, killed in December, which will not be presented to County Clerk Rhein fora month ormore. Mascoutahis a city of only 8,000 inhabitants, but a citizen of that place states that at least 1,000 sparrows have been killed there by parties Who are holding the certificates to be cashed at some future time. Itis probable not iess than 10,000 of the little birds have been Kilied in St. Clair County during the past month, CIRCUIT COURT. The docket has been madeup for the Jan- vary term of the Circuit Court, which begins one week from to-morrow. It contains 457 cases, of which 204 are law, 123 chancery and thirty criminal. When the Grand-jury meets and indictments are returned the number of criminal] cases will be increased by at least fifty, and the total swelled to 400 or more. was expected that Judge W. Wallof DuQuoin would open the term, but he may not be able to come to Belleville on account of the sickness of his father. In su¢h an event Judge A, §. Wilderman of Belle- ville wil preside during the first week and try criminal cases. The East St. Louls special assessment Cases are set for trial during the second week. Itis probable that these trials will consume six days or more. NOTES. L. P. Snyder, tax collector of St. Clair Township, has established an office at the Court-house. As his township embraces ter- ritory entirely surrounding Believilie the finds it more convenient to have.an office in Belleville than elsewhere.

LOUIS, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1899. —— SIGNALS ATSEA ne, Remarkable Sermons Delivered by Emperor William of Germany. First Newspaper Publication of the Ex- act Words Used by the Kaiser. TRANSLATED FROM THE PAMPHLET OF REV. DR. RICHTER. Full Text of the Third and Fourth of the Series of Sunday Addresses Made on the Yacht Hohenzollern—The Lan- guage on Which Was Based the Charge of Insanity by the French Press. New Yor«K, Jan. 2.—The New York WORLD and SUNDAY PosT-DisPpaTcnH have secureda copy of ‘*The Sermons on Board Ship During the Northern Journey of His Majesty, the Emperor and King,’’ as indited by D. Rich- ter, ‘‘Evangelical Chaplain of the Army.’’ This pamphiet of Rev. Mr. Richter gives the full text of the sermons that made memora- ble the cruise on the yacht Hohenzollern. No other papers in America or abroad have been able to secure a copy of this pamphlet. The sermons are fourin number. The third and fourth give the best idea of the Emperor’s style as an expounder. It will be remembered that it was the Kaiser's alleged erratic conduct and utter- ances on this cruise which brought upon him the charge of insanity made by the French newspapers. The third sermon Is as follows: SIGNALS AT SEA. ‘‘and they beckoned upto their partners which were on the other ehip thatthey should come and helpthem. And they came and filled both the ships so that they began to sink’’—St. Luke V. We would like to superscribe to-day’s text which embodies the tnird portion of the gos- eltouching Peter’s miraculous draught of Ashes, **Signals at Sea,**And they beckoned,’’ says the textindeed, ‘‘unto their pariners which were in the other ship that they should come and help them.’’ It is the joyous greeting over the rich draught which goes to theircompanions over the waves of the dumb, yet eloquent language which summons to action, which calls for assistance towards securing the hidden biessings to that joint action, which together will reach the common Dlessing, ‘‘and filed both the ships so that they began to sink.’’ We would, therefore, speak to-day as to beckoning overand across, as of the lan- yuage at sea, for such beckoning shall of assistance as wellasaction at sea, towards our participating in the same blessing at sea, as participating in by the men spoken of in the text. The lancuageat sea—what beckoning was for these fishermen—the most simpie and original signais to common joy and common labor—has developed intoa language which every seaman of the present day under- stands, viz, the language of sea signals. There exists euch a language for Christians also, for all those who sallon the sea of life sail and steer together toward the haven of eternity. An international language it is aiso, this beckoning across and over, this friendly greeting of those who in com-.- mon profess Christ, even as between those who are ‘‘in the other ship,’’ if only the same Lora it {s who stands behind that creeting and who dispenses the common blessing. A ‘‘union of souls’’ we would like to call it, this language of love, which pro- motes love amone all those who recognize tlhe same master—an international language that happily finds the loudest echo when it affects the comrades inthe other ship; that istosay, those who share the same profes- sion, the same creed orthe same humanity. of sucha beckoning at sea does to-day’s sermon treat, whereas the proceeding one spoke of venturing. 1 am Venturing. May God help me. such was the fsherman’s and seaman’s watchword with which Peter ventured out on high. And from high did he beckon to his companions. Then and there were the aposties brought up as men in Christ, through their beliefin the word ofthe Lord: then and there were they made brothers in Christ, through love for the deeds of the Lord. Not alone, but in common, such is, above all, the Christian’s watchword. Man stands by himself alone. But then, we, who all spring from one stock, must stand also for one single man. Thus, we who wish to learn this lesson and put it into practice, must learn to pay attention to the conduct of life, to those ‘beckonings’ ~beckonings which come from above, and aiso from here below. True Christian wis. com it is to heed in all matters and circum. stances of life, not only the word of the Lord, but also His beckunings, and he who stands in living cummunion with him, iearns more and more to heed andato follow, not only his clearly defined, but also his merest beckonings. in our text a beckoning Is spoken of, which ismerely an earthly signal to come together, but behind it stands, although unseen, but placed there by the Lord, His mercy, which goes in the value of the call; His mercy, which they have experienced. Therefore there is no loud calling over the water, as is generally the custom of fishermen, at a time when a draught of fishes comes unexpected andonsolargeascale. They are aware of the presence of God, before whom the whole world must remain quiet, and before whom they also remain quiet. Therefore, do they merely beckon to the companies in the other ship. There is, moreover, a christian beckoning away in the distance and likewise over the road sea; the dumb yet eloquent language which ie well understood by those who heed it. Tothose who do notitis merely an in- comprehensible signal. It is the language of the Christian communion, the dumb yet so *-oquent language of love of prayer and in- tercession om behalf of those who are the hearest to @s, and wellitisforhim who un- Cerstands that language and who daily and industrious! exercises himself in it. hut the Lord must stand behind the mercy which one seeks at his hands and behind the merciful help which one has experienced. lie who has knowledge of this cannot keep it ‘o himself alone: he must share it and help ‘isseminate it. Some such beckonings are there indeed over and across the sea which "nd their way into the chamber and into the oVe- match, some such beckonin and joy- Ous greetings in the starlit night here over ‘his northern land under God’s wonderful heaven. Then does one discover that the communion of love, prayer and help have rought forward not care and sorrow alone, a the same time the biessing of the _ Yes, he alone can bless and sanctify: but Ove upon earth shall help b.essing and sanctification. much suffering and so little “On @mong men?

The fourth sermon of the series delivered by the Kaiser on the cruise of the “jehenzolien was as follows: When Simon Peter saw it he fell down at Jesus’ knees poyine® Depart from me; for I am a sinful For — ed and al! that were with him at the draught of the Gshes which they had en. And so was also Jame:, ~- gona. the sons of who were ere wil mon. ee said Simon, Fear not; from forth thou shalt catch men.—st Lake v, 8-10.

The appointed one of the Lord— not with the words of the friendly greetings in the Old Testament, *‘enter,”’ words in the testament, ‘‘Go forth from me,’’ for ‘‘a terror had come over the fisher- .’’ Travel to the heights to call from the From now forward which Simon rienced then, the great turning- point of his life. What a turn through the will of God. What an unexpected turn in the whole story of text—the unexpected for the natural thinker. The ship went empty to the sea, and Peter raised his head and heart to the word of the Lord. Bowed down with blessings, Peter embraces Jesus saying, not as would be ex- pected, ‘‘Lord, come to me I ama happy man,’’ but ‘‘Lord depart from me, forlama sinful man.’’ What a change through the will of God. And it was thus resolved inthe will of God, thus as now: ‘*He who places bis mission and his life solely and sincerely in the service of the Lord must learn first to give up both. He who wishes to catch men for the glory of Jesus must first prevent himself to be caught by the son of man. To catch men is the most sinful business for one who does it in the service ofhell, but a most blessed one when pursued in the service ofthe Lord. Itissomething greatto subju- gate countries and people as conjurors of old and modern times have done, but it is far nobler to conjure the hearts of men,for every heart is a world in itself. Itisa to reign over depths. Peter ex bepeeg* nie i iii but in the | | knees. The blessing showed him that he was a sinful man, or in other words, not with the biessing. That burned like live coals in the head of our old ‘‘heidenkaliser’’ vat the time when God poured on him and his people un- expectedly biessings and victories. Then he set the example to his people and got lastly to the preaching of the gospel, when he said in the words of Peter: ‘‘What a change through the will of God. Weare not worthy ofit. Goand preach humanity.’’ Peter said: ‘*Lord, depart trom me. I am not worthy. ITamasinful man.’’ Peter had learned it Omethe sea. We will follow his example and learn it also onthesea. The ocean and the calling of the sallor does not preach in wind and weather, but in the wonders of pity of heip and the biessing of God when they say: ‘Il am not worthy of it.’” On your knees. ‘‘Lord, depart from me, lam a sinful man.”’ That feeling has been often suppressed while we were in @ mood of anger and frivolity, Dut there are times when it will orthasit did in Peter, and many @ man has gone to sea lke Peter asa fisherman and has returned a man- catcher. Or, like the prophet Jonah, who went toseaa proud Pharisee and returned a humble being and thus the ocean has become the great turning point of life—the whole change of man. great change which we must must pass. each one experiences in his innermost heart and on his knees when in life he wants to do something good, or in his pf work, or in battle. That we pray the Lord to grant us. Amen. Lord, our savior, before Theses we are noth- before Thee in the dust. FLORIDA'S MURDER MYSTERY.

A Banquet Wherethe Absenceof One In- vited Guest Cast a Gloom Over the Event—Another Michigan Kidnapping Case Which Has Just Come to Light— “Dynamite’’ Brady’s Worries. Detroit, Mich., Jan, 2,—An interesting and rather humorous kidnapping story has just come to light here. The incidents in the story took place six months ago, and al- though several people were involved, none of the facts leaked out until to-day. Last June William H. Brown kept a saloon at the corner of Randolph and Larned streets in thiscity. Above the saloon were some large storerooms leased by George T. Burroughs. Burroughs had in his employ two young men whospent most of their spare time patronizing Brown’s saloon, The young men had been hangingup their accounts on the slateand owed Brown over $50. Credit was stopped and they were frequentiy dunned for money by Brown. On June 15 the United States Marshal placed a large stock of shoes, which he had seized on an attachment, in Burroughs’ store-room., Afew days later Brown suggested to the ,80me of the shoes stored above. | siderable hesitation they yielded and ar- young men that they might pay his bill with After con- ranged to bring down some shoes every day. At first only one pair was extracted daily, but the number increased gradually until they had p®id all they owed Brown. But they were hard upand Brown offered to ad- vance cash on the _ shoes. So one night they took an express wagon and carted away nearly allthe shoes remaining. They turned the stock over to Brown, who, in turn, sold the shoes to a jobber. This resulted in an investigation. A few days later the trio were arrested. The United States authorities felt convinced that Brown was the most gewilty one of the three, but there was little chance of convict- ing him unless the other two would turn State’s evidence. A confession was finally secured from Johnson and Wellington. Brown was tried and convictea of obstruct- fig the Marshal in the performance of his duties, and pending the argument of an ap- DAILY AND SUNDAY| plication for a new trial. he was released on ' $2,000 ball. Francis J. Brady, known as | **Dynamite’’ Brady, was accepted as his bondsman. | As soon as Brown got out of custody he dis- |}appeared. No one thought anything of it until the time approached for his appearance incourt. Then Brady was notified to pro duce him or forfelt the bond. ‘‘Dynamite’’ was in a bad fix. He could find Brown nowhere, and knowing that the Federal! Cour ts would not deal very lentently with him, he thought he stood a good chance of losing $2,000. However, he employed a detective and finally located Brown on leche Isiand, six miles from Detroit and in Canadian waters. The next thing was to in- duce Brown to return to the United States. A visit to Peche Island disclosed the fact that Brown had built a small hut, purehased fishing tackle and settled down to livea life ofease. Brown received his bondsman very cordially, but gently declined to accompany him across the border. Brady was now get- ting very nervous. He returned to Detroit and got the United States District Attorney to postpone the case for a few days. THE RUSE FAILED. Then he planned a bold move. He invited Brown and several mutual friends to a sup- er at a wine house fronting on the river in alikerville, Ontario, only two miles trom Peche Island. He felt sure that Brown would be willing to attend the banquet, because it was to take place in Canadian territory. Brown promised to attend. Brady hoped to om him dead drunk, or, If necessary, to drug im andthen, with the assistance of two friends, to get him across the river, Brady felt very smart. ‘The evening for the banquet arrived. The mutual friends all put In an appearance, but the $2,000 guest of the occasion fatled tocome, This, however, did not stop the: banquet, and Brady ar- ranged to have his friends tell Brown whata time he had missed. brady was getting ex- tremely anxious, By a pitiful plea he man. aged ta get the case put off avain for a few days. hen he came totne conclusion that desperate measures had become necessary, eet mete early one afternoon Brady, accompanied by two men who were strangers to Brown, left Detroit in a row-boat and pulled to Peche Island. The boat lay to ina cove. Brady had disguised himself by put- tingona fisherman’s hat and clothes and dying his red whiskers and hair a j Diack. He knew that toward sundown" rown would return from a fishing expedition. Late in the after- noon, Brown’s boat appeared. Brady, man- aging to keep his back towards. the boat, pulled out, and, when in hailing distance, one of the men asked Brown tor some bait, Brown agreed to give some.

THE PLANS AGREED ON BY THE Deyo. CRATIC STATISTICIANS, They Will Ease the Minds of the Con- gressional Incumbents, Virose Terri. tory Would Not Be Seriously Aftsctsa by the Proposed Re-Districting— Po} i+. ical News from Various Counties in the State. In the event that the Legislature ts catjog to readistrict the State into Congressional districts the counties in South Missourt here. tofore bringing up the rear to the Fleventh and Fourteenth Districts, will ask that the new or Fifteenth Districts shall be taken from these districts and located in that part ofthe State, The district has already heen mapped out and the matter quietly talkeg over among the leading Democrats of the counties selected to comprise the new dis. trict. The counties of the contemplated new district are: Carter, Crawford, Dent, bDouy. Jas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Pulask|, Rey. nolds, Ripley, Shannon, Texas, Wayne ana Wright. These counties in the election of 1888 cast-28,000 votes, divided among the candidates as follows: Cleveland, 13,914; Harrison, 11,778; Streeter and scattering, 2,808. The counties of Carter, Douglas, How. ell, Oregon, Ripley, Sbannon, Ozark and Wayne are taken from the present Four. teenth; the counties of Crawford, Dent, Pulaski, Texas and Wright from the Eleventh, and Reynolds County from the Tenth Con. gressional District. This change would leave the Eleventh District with the following counties: Calloway, Cole, Osage, Gasconade, Maries, Miller, Laclede and Phelps. In jss9 the vote of these counties was 28,282, divided as follows: Bland, 12,024; Musick, 10,459: Need. ham, 800. The Fourteenth would comprise the counties of Cape Girardeau, Bollinger, Scott, Stoddard, Mississippi, New Madrid, Dunklin, Pemiscot.- In 1888 these counties Cast 20,000 votes, giving a Democratic majority of over 4,000. There will be no lack of materia in the proposed new district for candidates. Col, James H. Mascey, a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1875: BK. H. Livingston, member of the legislature, and E. Frank Haynes, the present memter, all reside in HOwell County. John R. Woodside, ex-member of the legislature, in Oregon County; L. B. Woodside, ex-member of the Legisiature,in Dent County; Thomas Mabrey, ex-member of the Legislature, in Ripley County; Judge V. B. Hill in Pulaski County; ex-Senator F. M. Mansfield in Wright County, and ex-Senator C, D. Yancey of Wayne County. The formation of this district, as proposed, would necessitate no change tn the other districts except as indicated. The only other county in the state which ap- pears to object to its present location Congressionally, is Johnson County. This may be added to the present Twelfth without changing the relative strength of either party. Andrew County. may be taken from the Fourth District and added to the Third without reducing to any extent the Democratic majority in the Third, thereby making the Fourth more securely Demo- cratic. Outside of these no changes need be made, other than straightening out the boundary lines between the Eighth and Ninth, the Ninth and Tenth, and taking Flor- issant township, now RepuDlican, out of the kighth and adding it to St. Louls County and the Tenth District. Moniteau and Morgan may be added to the Eleventh District, without changing the relative strength of thetwo parties. The Legisiature of 1882 redistricted the State into Congres- sional and Representative districts In extra session and was in session fourteen days ata cost of $34,000. The constitution requires the State to be re districted into Senatorial and Representative Districts before the next election. The Senatorial districts have been redisiricted by the State officers; the Repre- sentative districts have not, the Legislature only having authority to do so under the constitution. POLITICAL NEWS.

PATHETIC INCIDENTS ATTENDING THE LONGUEVAN DIVORCE CASE. The Husband Seventy-seven Years of Age, Almost Blind and Very Decrepit, Seeks a Separation on Account of Jealousy— The Divorce Refused—Scene With His child. The contested divorce suit of Martha Clem- entine Longuevan, aged 385, of 4017 Pleasant street, against Joseph Longuevan, aged 77, was tried in Judge Dillon’s court yesterday. The case presented one of the most distress- ing spectaciet that has perhaps ever been produced in a divorce court. The defend- ant’s tottering steps were supported to the witness stand by a grown son by a former marriage. The old man, besides being afiicted with the infirmities of old age, is blind. During the last five years his eyes have been falling him untiinow he has tobe led everywhere he goes. In ascending the witness stand it re- quired the assistance of two men to help him up the two steps he was required to take, his attorney alding in placing him tn the chair. ‘rs. Longuevan, the plaintiff, is in the prime of womanhood, She 1s of medium helaht and stout build, with brown hair and wears glasses, She possesses a fresh and preposessing countenance, quite at contrast with the wrinkled, age-stamped face of her spouse. The parties have six children, three of whom were in the court-room— a girl aged 12 and a younger and older brother. The other children are younger almost big he oe A, Joseph Longueran. still, the youngest being but 4years. While the result of the case showed that the whole trouble lay in the !lhassortment of the couple and nothing improper was proven on elther side, much of the testimony, nevertheless, was of anature entirely unfit to be listened toby the young. The little girl, a bright creature, evidently understood many of the coarse expressions used by the attorneys and her parents and shrank sensitively when the language was used. THE CHARGES MADE. The story as set forth tn the wife’s petition and husband’s cross-billis as follows: The parties were married Jan. 26, 1878, Mrs. Lon- guevan then being 21, and her husband being 63. They separated July 23 last. Mrs. Lan- guevan charged thather husband was very jealous of her and accused her of associating with other men and called her improper names and ordered her to leave. The cross bill recited that the young wife used such en- dearing terms in addressing her aged life partner as ‘‘old fool,’’ ‘‘old rascal,’’ ‘‘uld devil,’’ ‘‘old liar,’’ and stated that he was nothing but a pest about the house. She also slapped him in the face the bill alleged, and threatened to shoot him. The above is the substance of the charges contained in the divorce papers shorn of specifications set forth in the plain terms required by law. THE WIFE'S TESTIMONY. The case came up for hearing a short time before the court adjourned for the noon re- Afterthe reading of the petition and cross bill Mrs. Longuevan took the stand and recited her experience as an ‘‘old man’s darling.’’ Itseems Longuevan was in pretty wood circumstances when they were mar- ried, but the property has dwindled away until now their means consists of two houses, theone Mrs. Longuevan now lives in and another, worth together about $4,000. The oldman has also a small cash balance of 100 or $400, money left from the sale of some property. Mrs. Longuevan testified that her husband borrowed $4,000 ona pleceof property and Alterwards soll the property for some- thing over $4,000. Allthathe ever gave her Ol the amountshe stated was $540. Their In- come being not sufficient to Ive upon, Mrs. Longuevan stated she was compelled of late years to exert herself to make a living for herselfand children. She became a solicitor, she stated, for the Williamson Corset Ve. and other companies. Her duties often kept her away from home until late and when she would return, her husband, she stated, would accuse her of being out with men. He filed a divorce suit figainst her in 1890, she said, and made the Sime allegations now contained in his cross- bil, but dismissed the case when she con- lested the sult. THE 8ON’S TESTIMONY. lier testimony did not require a great while In being submitted and she was followed on the stand by her oldest son, Bero. “Did you ever hear your father call your mother names, Bero?’’ asked Attorney P, W, Fauntieroy, Mrs. Longuevan’s counsel. ‘“Tes,’’ repited the boy. ‘‘When she would be out soliciting he used to call hera night rat when she came home.’’ “Did you ever hear him say anything to her about being with other men?’’ oid Yes, heused to say she was out making astes,.’’ \tew other unimportant witnesses were examined and the plaintiff’s counsel rested hiscase, Judge Dition announced recess at we ps “" and the case was laid over until 0 CIOCK, THE DEFENDANT ON THE STAND. When court opened for the afternoon Session ‘the aged defendant was called to the stand by his attorney, Mr. J. ’. Holmes, The old Man groped ainfully to the stand at one time almost falling by missing the chair for which he reached with his left hand. **What ‘your name?’’ asked his attorney when his cient Was finally seated. "Joseph Longuevan.’’ ‘*lHlow old aregou?'’ “Seventy-se en. Iwas bornin 8t. Louls; on Fourth street between Walnut and Elim. I ived here untill was27 years old. I then went to the mines at DesMoines, lo., and re- mained some years, and then returned to 8t. Oute,’** witeronem were you married to your present “I don’t remember the exact time, but I think It was sometime in 1878.’’ none of the attorneys offered any ob jection, feeling in vor of hearing the story of the courtship seeming to prevail. The old man did not refer to the matter, however, any further and after a pause his attorney said: ‘*Your wife spoke about you living in the country. Tell the court how you came to live there?’’ **I did it to please her. She was raised in the country and wanted to live there, sol traded some city property fdr a farm. But she would not attend to anything. I would find chickens drowned in the tubs in the yard, three or four ata time. She got tired living in the country and wanted to live in the cit again, soto please her 1 sold the farm an came back to town to live.’’ Here the old man became excited and his voice grew husky. **l am so weak,’’ said he. ‘‘Iam almosta skeleton. You ought tosee my body. [lam worn out. There is nothing in those stories about my accusing her. [expected that. I made up my mind tothat. I did everythin I could to please her, but she has me worrile almostto death. She was always saying I ae giving to my sons bya former mar- riage.’’ It appeared fora time as though the old gentleman would not be able to continue his testimony, but his lawyer cautioned him to keep cool, and the old man resumed. WENT TO CALIFORNIA. ‘‘Now about my borrowing money. She read in the paperabout California, what a nice place it was and said it would be better if we sold or borrowed money and went there, Sne Said pit would be better for me, So I borrowed $3 ,000 and went to California, Ididit to please her. When I got there, though, I found that what money I had was nota drop in the bucket, and so came back. Then she said, ‘you old fool,’’’ and the old man went off in @ long description of the lecture his wife read him on this occasion. ‘*Now, how about your wife staying out at night?’’ ‘*Well, she used to come home from 6 o’clock to ll o’clock. I would say, ‘mama, you can’t be doing anything at this hour,’ and she would say that she would do as she pleased. She used to tell fortunes, and sometimes she showed me money which she said she got.’’ **How about one occasion when you state she threatened to shoot you?’’ ‘*It wasthis way. She wanted me to ac- knowledge before the children that I would deed her the Pleasant street house. I saidl would not doso. She had a revolverand pointed it at me, and said if I did not ac- knowledge that she would shoot me, I was atraid she would shoot and grabbed the revolver and _ the hammer went down and caught my hand be- tween the fingerandthumb, I used to tell her that it Was not necessary for her to go out soliciting. ‘I have got money left vet,’ I would say, ‘and you will make more to stay athomeand take care of the children. I have made my will, and everything I have will be for at and the children. I don’t think I will live Guring the winter.’ But she wanted to marry again. She said: ‘You are dying too long. I am going to sue fora divorce.’ ‘*Did she ever slap you,’’ asked the at- torney. ‘*Yes, she slapped me in the face and atened to throw a coal oil amp at me,’’ ‘*‘What was the cause generally of the quanrels between you?’’ **The trouble was all about the property. She was afraid I was giving money to my other children.’’ **How was she dressed?’’ **She was dressed fine. She would have on her Jacket and would stand upand say, ‘Isn’t this nice? Won’t this please the fellows’’ °’ The old man stood up and indicated how his wife would stand in tront of him and throw open her jacket and display it to him. CROSS-EXAMINED. This closed the direct examination of the aged witness, and he was turned over to At- torney Fauntleroy. ‘‘Inthe last two years who did the work of the house?’’ asked the attorney. ‘*The little girl and her mother.’’ ‘*Why was it that you dismissed the divorce sult: ‘*‘Ithought I might be parted from the children. Ithoughtaslong as I lived so long with herlI would try it again. I was a slave.’’ ‘*Then if you were a slave, want to go back to live with her again? wanted to bea slave?’’’ **YVYes, ’* ‘*You got broke into it?’’ ‘*It appears like it. I wanted to be with the children.’’ ‘*You were ashamed of the allegations you made against your wife, wern’t you?’’ ‘No ? ‘*Did not you charge that other men hugged and kissed her?’’ ‘*Yes; but I didn’t mind that. I told her she could have all the beaux she wanted.’’ ‘*‘Why wag itthen you locked your wife up in the house, when you lived in the country, while you went to town?’’ ‘*On one occasion there was a door leading from the basement and I put a broom against itwhile Ilwent outto milk the cow. I wanted to see if she went out. When I came back the broom was down. I asked her about it and she said she did not Know the broom was there. I did not lock her up. Nir. Fauntleroy stated he had no more questions toaskand the old man was ex- cused and helped back to his seat by his son and attorney. Mrs. Mulshanic testified to having seen Mrs. Longuevan riding in a buggy a couple of times with a sandy-whiskered man. Mamie Mulchanic, alittie girl, also testified to the same effect. John Pachierer, a@ grocer at Cottage avenue and Whittier street, knew the man whom Mrs. Longuevan was seen in the buggy with to be a Mr. Jackson, a deputy sheriff, who was in- terested in a washing machine which Mrs, Longuevan was selling. John Murry, a private watchman, the next witness, had joked Mrs. Longuevan about her divorce suit, and she said she might get married again some day. A SAD SCENE. This closed testimonyexcepting onewltness, the littie daughter Sarah. Attorney Holmes spoke to the little girl in @ low tone, but she shook her head in the negative. It appears that when the couple parted Mrs, Longuevan took all the children except- ing the daughter Sarah and one of the boys, The boy, she stated, subsequently came to her, the girl remaining with her father. When the child refused to take the stand and testify the attorney addressed the Court and stated: ‘*Your Honor, I have one witness more, the little girl, but she don’t want to testify and I don’t wish to force her. It is only to prove——’’ ‘If sheis not to testify,’’ interrupted the Court, ‘‘I don’t wish to bear anything about why did you You ‘*Well, I want what she knows to go in,’’ returned the attorney. ‘*How old is she?’’ asked Judge Dillon. ‘*How old are you?’’ asked the attorney, addressing the little girl. ‘*Twelve years,’’ answered she, ‘*You will have to put heron the stand,’’ said the Court. ‘‘Understand me,’’ said the Judge. ‘*I1 don’t wisn to urge that she be put on, but if you want her testimony you will have to doit.’’ ‘*‘Well, I want her testimony,’’ said the lawyer. Her relatives then triea to urge the child to take the stand, but she shrank back in her chair. Her mother spoke to her,-and the old father called that she be put on, but she re- fused. Her father’s attorney approached her and whispered to her fora time, when the little one arose and approached the clerk’s desk and held up her hand to be sworn. She then took the stand, Judge Dillon asked hera few questions ina kind tone about her studies at school, what reader she was in, etc., and then turned her over to the lawyers. ‘*How old are you?’’ asked Attoney Holmes. ‘*I] will be 12 on Jan, 7. ‘*Did youever hear quarrels between your father and mother?’ ‘*What did they quarrel about?’’ **about the property.’’ ‘*How would they begin?’’ ‘It would about the property,’’ re- u in the room when your mother had a pistol?’’ me *It took ‘When things did not suit your father dia : MRS. LONGUEVAN RECALLED. Mrs. Longuevan was recalied after the little rl’s testimony was concluded. She denied t she asked her husband to marry her. long while before I consented to marry ,"’ she stated, ‘‘idon’t think to-day that I would have to try so hard to get @ man much less than then.’’ **Did you apply for this divorce with the intention of getting married again?’’ asked her atturney, *“*Idid not. I think I would consider a : long time before I would get married again.’ She indignantly denied that there was any- thing improper in her conduct, With regard to her being in the buggy with Mr. Jackson, she said she was going to give lessons on washing machines which she had sold, and he was interested in the machines. **‘lama hard-working woman,’’ said she. **It is ridiculous to accuse me of acting im- proper. Just think,a woman 85 years oid anda never was inside of a theateror ball- room.’ THE CASE CLOSED. This closed the case and Judge Dillon asked the attorneys ifthey wished to argue the matter. Both expressed themselves wil- ling to submit it without argument. ‘*Well,’’ saidthe Court, ‘‘I think I might as well decide this case now. As far as the husband’s jealousy of his wife is concerned his fears are groundless. There has been nothing shown against her whatever. That disposes of his case, As far as the wife is concerned the case is different. With old age comes not only infirmities, but other failings, among them iritability of temper. She should have taken into con- sideration those things when she married ay I will dismiss the petition and cross- PLEADING WITH HIS CHILD. After the parties tothe suitleft the court- room one of the: most lamentable scenes in the whole unhappy affair took place. Mrs. Longuevan started down-stairs accompanied by hertwo boys and witnesses. Her hus- band was ied trom the court-ryom by his son, who gave every attention to hisfather. The girl, Sarah, was in rotunda standing near the The young man to where the little girl stood, and the old man asked her to come, but she said ‘‘no,’’ and drew away. The old man spoke again to her and asked her to come with him, but she refused, Female friends gathered around her and urged her to go with her father, but she would say ‘‘no’’ andshrinkaway. One of her brothers returned and urged her to go with their father, butshe would not. Break- ing away from those around her, the. little girl moved off a little distance toward the other side of the rotunda. The old man approached to where she had been standing ana began to plead with her to return with bim, not being able to see that She was not there. The scene was a second reproduction of the ‘‘Hearts of ae with the plot inverted. **Would ou leave your poor oid father to die alone?’’ said the old man ad- dressing space. ‘‘Come, go bome with your poor old father,’’ and he put out his hand and groped around, feeling forthechild. ‘‘I told you if you would stay until everything was settled you could then go to your mother.’’ The young man at this juncture took his father’s arm and sald, ‘‘Come,I will take care of you. Let us go,’’ and he led the old man down stairs. The girl Sarah ran down-stairs and out onto Chest- nut street and caught up with her mother at Broadway. Mrs. Longuevan stopped and addressed the child and from her gestures and the chiid’s at- titude it did not appear that the little one met with a warm reception from her mother. Mrs. Longuevan turned and proceeded west on Chestnut street after disposing of her daughter, who turned and ran back to the Court- house. She still, however, would not consent to return with her father, though his cam 6 with her were painful to hear. His son at last told him to come on and took him out on to Broadway. The girl followed and the father again stopped on the steps totry to get her to go with him, and the son left the old man pleading with the girl. When left alone with her father the littie one appeared to change her mind and came to his side. A man who had been a witnéss in the case finally came outand spoke to them and the three started away together. OTHER CASES. 3 COUPLES WHO FOUND MARRIAGE AN UNMIS- TAKABLE FAILURS. Henry. and Fredericka Sprengmeyer were married Feb, 27, 1889. The testimony devel- oped the fact that although he treated her well she left hima year after their marriage. The decree of separation was granted. Mrs. Catherine A. Chick charged her hus- band, Oscar A. Chick, with contempt and coldness. She said he was addicted to stay- ing out late at nights underthe pretense of attending lodges, when she found out by in- vestigation that he never belonged to a lodge. The court thought there was not suf- ficient grounds for a divorce, but allowed the piaintiff’s attorney to take a non-sulit. Charles Seers, a letter-carrier, was granted a divorce from his wife, Bridget, whom he married in 1884 at Belleville, lll. The evi- dence showed that she was addicted over- much to liquor. In October, 1883, Mrs. Emily Cook, a hand- some brunette, was married to her husband, Charles. Three years after he took their only child, a boy, and made off to Cincinnati. She followed him, but he refused to live with her and went from there to Denver and Van- couvers Island. She has lost all track of hing and the boy. The divorce was granted. Mary Rudolph was granted a divorce by Judge Dillion from Henry Rudolph. They were married Jan. 15, 1887, and lived together until July last. She jcharged that he struck and abused her and was gullty of drunk- ness. Rosa Wieland filed suit for divorce yester- day against Frank Wieland onthe ground of desertion. They were married Oct. 14, 1881, and separated July 27, 1888. Henry Hellenberger also charged desertion as a reason for racpen divorced from his wife, Elizabeth, in his suit filed yesterday after- noon, They were married in March, 1833, and lived together until March, 1887. Desertion was also the charge made in Helen Croump’s suit for divorce filed yester- day afternoon against William L. Croump. They were married Sept. 10, 1887, and lived together until Oct. 30, 1890.

Buethinger of this city were dl- vorced several years ago, dividing the prop - erty, which was considerable. Several days ago Mrs. Buethinger became very ill and sent word to herformer husband that she wanted tosee him. He visited her and she proposéd a second marriage as she had al- ways loved him. They were married again by a Justice of the Peace. The husband was urged to comply with her wish by the physi- cians, who had hopes that it would save her life. The woman’s condition became worse, however, instead of betterand she died and was buried yesterday. The property is to be divided among the creditors and the hus- Teachers’ Institute.

LOUIS LEADS. | The City’s Building Improvement Rec- ord Is Unexcelled. -— — HOW THE REALTY WITHIN THE LIMITS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED. ora SC While Other Cities Fell Away Behind Their Previous Records in 1891, St. Louis Kept Up Her Progress in Build- ings—Improvement of the West End— Agents’ Reports. : One of the surest indications of the progress thata city is making is the condition of its real estate market. Whenthe real estate of a city is in good demand at fair prices, well supported by building and municipal im- provements, the place is certainly on the highway to prosperity, The time of year has arrived now when the account of the past twelve months may be balanced so that the readers of the Post-DISPATCH may know how St. Louls stands and what progress has been made here during 1891. Asis well known it was a year of financial depression all over the country. Money did not flow into real estate as it did during 1890. On account of lack of confidence the circulating medium was withdrawn and, belug held in reserve, but very littie of it found its way into invest- ments or speculations of any Kind. Under these adverse conditions the real estate mar- ket of both Chicagoand New York City has fallen off considerably. It is said that the New York sales fell off 40 per cent as com- pared with 1890. Chicago its over $44,000,000 behind. Nocity in the country affords such a favorable comparison as St. Louis for the past year. A COMPARATIVE TABLE. The following table shows the total consid- erations given in deeds filed for record during the years of 1880 and 1891. 1890. 1891. Sales made the first six months.. . $25,397,578 $23,442,394 Sales made the last six month 17,334,597 16,266,962 Decrease latter half $ 8,062,981 $ 7,175,432 It will be observed from these deductions that the decrease in the amount of property sold during the latter half of 1891 is $887,549 less than was the falling off in sales which occurred during the last six months of 1890, as compared with the first six months of that year. In other words, compared with the first six months of the years 1890 and 1801, it is appar- ent that the market has made decided gains during the last half of the year just closed. This conclusion is more striking when com- pared with the last half of the year’s bust- ness of 1889, when the sum total of sales for six months footed up only $14,587,032. From this it will be seen that the sales of the last six months of 1891 exceeded the sales of the corres ponding period of 1889 by $1,679,930. Property being more in demand for res!i- dence purposes during the spring, the first half of the year is alwaysthe most active in sales. The total amount of sales forthe year 1891 foot up $39,709,356, as against $42,732,175 for A. D. 1890, thatis, according to the published transfers for both years. These figures show a decrease of $3,022,819 in the transfer footings for 1891 as compared with the business of 1890, equivalent in round figures toa falling offof a trifle over 7 per centinthe total amount of property sold during the year just closed. TRANSFERS RECORDED DURING 1890 AND 1591. This table gives the number of sales con- summated during each period of six months for the years 1990 and IS¥1: 1890. | 1891. Number of transfers recorded for first six months Number of transfers recorded for the 4,358 6,094 4,592 Decrease in last half.... From these that 1,074 more pieces of property were sold during the year of 1891 than were disposed of in 1890. During the year 1890°there were a total num- ber of 9,612 transfers recorded, and for the year 1891 10,686 deeds have been filed for record. This is equivalent to 2 gain of nearly 12 per cent in the numberof sales consummated dur- ing the last part of 1890. Now, since Chicago has become the stand- ard by which the greatest of all municipal progress is measured, it is well enough for St. Loulsans to Know something of the real estate business ofthat wonderful city. Itis not worth while tocompare New York or Philadelphia in this regard, for neither of them are in it with St. Louis and Chicago. These two western cities are the greatest, most prosperous municipalities on the continent, and st. Louis is proud that she is near enough to Chicagoto help that town along, for the indications are that the over- boomed World’s Fair site will need assist- — ance. The following table gives the official ac- count of realestate salesin Chicagofor the years 1890 and 1891. CHICAGO’S RECORD. 1890, 1891. Sales first six months...$102,338,482 $95.971,095 Sales last six months... 110,865,908 76,680,730 220,404,390 $175,651,820 These figures, taken from a publication of high authority on the Chicago real estate market, show a decrease Of $44,752,565 in the property sales of that town for the year 1891 as compared with 1890. This decrease is equivalent to a falling offof 20 percent dur- ing the first half of 1891, and a still greater falling off of 35 per ce nt during the last half of 1891. These statistics show that while Chicago sold five times as much real estate as did St. Louis in 1890, its losses in sales for 1891 were twenty times greater than those of St. Louis for the same period. STEADY PROGRESS. St. Louis moves steadily on. A row of thirty miles of houses were built here last ear. These and other improvements en- ance values. Toaccount for the difference in the amouuts covered by the transfers it must be borne in mind that the year 1899 was one noted for great street railroad extension and improvement. Nearly every company either extended its lines or changed its motive wer. These changes brought great tracts of land Into the market and the Gr portaeky was quickly taken advantage Of Dy iarge operators or syndicates. To «ive an idea of the im- nues.

THE MISSOURIS’ RACES—NEW YEAR AT THE CLUBS—CYCLING CHAT. The interest taken in the coming bicycle races at the Armory is becoming widespread, and is affecting many persons not connected with the sport who daily wend their way to ohne of the various cycle agencies in quest of information in regard tothe events and the prizes offered, The meeting takes place Saturday, Jan. 23, at 8 p. m. under the auspices of the Missouri Bicycle and Athletic Club. The Games Committee held an important meeting last Sunday, and if the number of entries justify a mile race for ordinary bicicles will be added to the programme. he prize list is being ra completed and when finished the ag- gate value of the prizes will be nearly $00" A number of inquiries have been re- celved from racing men at Cincinnati, Chi- and Peoria, and itis thought that each of these cities will send at least one represen- to compete in the cycle events, athletes, who have from the places Dn was measured last Sunday and the bicycle track will be twelve Japstothe mile. Harry Borgess and Dick both rode a mile without any practice whatever in 8:25 and are certain that with training the time can be reduced to less than three minutes. Entries for the races close Jan. 20 and ilocal racing men would do well not to overlook this fact. Programmes of the meet giving the entire list of events, as well as entry s, can had at the club- house or will be mailed on application to George 8. es, irman Games Com- mittee, Box 863. Special attention is called to the rule that all contestants must be fully clothed or they will not be allowed to com- NEW YEAR'S AT THE CLUBS. The dullest cycling Christmas for man years. That was the verdict in local whee Circles last week. New Year’s night was en- iMvened by a watch party at the Cycling Club, which some forty of the members and lady friends parstorpated and the New Year was ushered in with appropriate cere- monies. At the Missouris the pool tour- mament entertained a large audience, and on account of the many postponed games it was late before the schedule was finished. Barrett still leads by a small margin, with ,» Nicholls, Hutchinson and Caulfield ranking in the order named. On New Year’s | the Oycling Club kept open house and their comfortable quarters were visited by a number ofcaillers. A number of runs Deen called by the various clubs, but with the LOCAL SPORTING.

He defeated Matsado Sarikichi,the ‘‘Jap,’’at catch-as-catch-can, and was afterwards beaten by him in a mixed match. George Baptiste is well-known in this city, and at his own style—Greco Roman—he has never met defeat. He was formerly a heavyweight, weighing 185 pounds stripped. He will weigh in at this match at about 154 pounds. His friends here think him almost invincible at that weight. He has been hard at work getting himself into condition, and if he throws Kasten he will be at the top of the professional ranks as he is now in the ama- teur ranks. AT THE NATATORIUM. At the Natatorium track last night the audience assembled to see the twenty-four hour walk of the six-day men were enter- tained incidentally bya race for newsboys and messengers. Owingto the fact that the professionals had the track only four boys were started at atime, the winners in each set to run against each other to-night for the price ofasilver cup. The distance was a mile and in each case the boys who finished made it in a fraction over six minutes. The rofessionals were going the second eight ours of their walk, which finished at mid- night. The last eight hours will be walked to-night and itis expected some of the men will try fora record. HAND-BALL AND BOWLING. Bowling is becoming very pular atthe alleys ofthe Pastime Ciub ouses.

New YorK, Jan. 2.—Slugging foot-ball tactics have registered another victim. The family of young Ralph Warren, the Princeton student and foot-ball player, have now con- cluded that he was suffering from a tem- porary affection of the mind and they attributed the cause of this affection to an injury received in the foot ball game on Thanksgiving day. During the game Warren received a blow in the back of his neck. It seemed to him that something cracked and the pain for atime was acute. It soon passed away and he thought no more about it. Since then, however, he has been subject to occasional fits of absent-minded- ness. He was probably underthe influence of one of these attacks when he disappeared. TSCHIGORIN WINS THE FIRST GAME. HAVANA, Jan. 2.—The first game in the match between Steinitz and Tschigorin for the chess championship of the world and $2,000 a side was played here atthe rooms of the Centro-Austuriano. Tschigorin paving the move, played an Evans gambit which was defended by Steinitzinthe normal way. The Russian master scored a brilliant and speedy victory after thirty-two moves, wind- ing up with a beautiful combination. POLICE AND SOLDIERS Settling an Old Score at Kingston, Jamaica —A Serious Affair. NEw YORK, Jan. 2.—Kingston, Jamaica, correspondence, under date Dec. 20, is as follows: j A sertous collision has occurred between the police and a numberof privates belong- ing to the West Indian regiment at Kingston, Jamaica, and several of the former were only rescued from the clatches ofthe soldiers after they had been mauled, The first battalion of the West Indian regl- ment are under ordersto proceed to Sierra Leone, onthe east coast of Africa, and it would appear asif the soldiers had an old score which they desiréd to have settled with the constables before they left the shores of Jamaica. In January, 1891, the soldiers of the same battalion got mixed up ina general fight betweenthe police and some women, in the course of which a large number of con- stables were seriously injured. The result was thatthe soldiers were confined to the barracks for some time after the fight, while a goodly number of them were court-mar- tialed and many of them were somewhat severely punished. This old grievance seems tohave rankled in their breasts, andthey were determined not to leave the island till they had avenged themselves for the punishment they were forced to undergo on the testimony ofa few scared constables. Shortly after nightfall the soldiers began to assemble in the neighborhood of the jubilee market, which is thickly populated with the lower ciass of the community. About 9 o’clock they began to patrol the streets in that district in ‘groups of about (fifty each, and the force of constables on duty was considerably increased, while a larger force was held in reserve atthe police head- quarters. Shortly after 9 o’clock, alarge ueen street and the consta- les were badly beaten, being unabie to hold out against the overwhelming numbers. The soldiers then made a rushtoward Orange street, where they attacked tie police, and in the melee a corporal of the police sustain- ed severe injuries to his head and limbs. Meanwhile intimation of the fight had been sent to the police headquarters at Sutton street and Inspector Weaderburn,. with a large force of constables, arrived on the scene. The soldiers had, however, abandoned the attack and contented themselves by watching the movements of the pvlicemen. The Inspector of Police very wisely did not attempt to makeany arrests andit now be- came a case of opposing forces watching each other. By this time large crowds of citizens had begun to assemble and they formed a barrier between the police and constables. The officers seemed to realize that their rowdy career had been checked inthe city, at least and if they were to fiDd any more victims they must necessarily change their grounds, After some consultation the soldiers formed into ine, and with steady, measured steps made forthe outlying or district police sta- tions, but here disappointment was in store for them. Whilethe police in the city had allowed them to march out in order, the dis- trict constables were in readiness to receive them. Inspector Wedderburn had antict- pated this move onthe partof the soldiers, and had the day before drafted large bodies of police into all the districts that were likely to be attacked. The soldiers afterward re- turned tothe city, but had to content them- selves with doing street patrol duty and oc- casionally raising acheer. Quiet was soon restored and the soldiers embarked on board the troopship, = at West RASCALLY STEAMSHIP AGENTS Flooding the Country With Paupers From Russia and Poland. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Jan. 2.—Foreign shipping agents are shipping into this State hundreds of Russian and German pauper immigrants,who become burdens On the com.- munities as soon as they arrive. A lotof Russian, Polish and German immigrants were put off at Pennsboro, a little wayside stationonthe B. £0, BR. R.a few days ago. The people were without money, hungry, and many of them sick when they arrived at the little town above named. A score or more managed to get to the city in a deplorable condition. but few of them body of the soldiers made a rush on the, They couldn't s k of and} peak a word English ne buy their tickets direct to Penns- boro via Baltimore. How they evaded the Government officers at Baltimore, or how they got through can only be imagined. That they were paupers must have been evident even toa school boy. If this had been the first time that pauper emigrants had been shipped successfully through into this State the fact would not be astonishing. But the fact 1s that foreign agents of steamship com- panies have been making it a regular bus!l- ness for months. There have been four bunches of the emigrants shipped into this neighborhood, They have been shipped direct to Pennsboro within the past few months, and many other small insignificant towns, which, like Pennsboro, have no heed of la- borersof any kind, and no wish, at all events, for the presence of European pau- pers, are being flooded periodically with squads oftwenty to thirty at a time at each hamlet. The Post-DISPATCH correspondent is informed that between 600 and 700 paupers were landed and shipped within the past few days in West Virginia andin border towns of Pennsylvania. There is a bunch of newly arrived paupers at this writing wandering about the depotsof this citya charge upon the charity ofthe citizens. A dairyman, who isa German, employed ione ofthe biggest and strongest of the lot to-day. The fellow agreed to work for the dairyman at 25 cents a day and his food. His sleeping spartment was tobe in the barn with the cattle, and he went off seemingly highly pleased with his opportunity of laying up a fortune. Any ofthe others would have been glad to have accepted a similar situation. It would seem that Government officials were in collusion with rascally agents, as it would be impossible to otherwise unload whole shiploads of paupers at the ports of the coun- try. SENSATIONAL SUICIDE, A few days ago a man and woman registerea atthe Flushing House, at Flush- ing, O., as G. Coventry and wife, The woman was rather pretty and young looking and the man was also young—per- haps 260r 28 years old. On yesterday they sent a boy toa drugstore for morphine, but nothing was thought of It, It TY ig mye Last night the couple committed sulcide by taking the morphine. A slipof paper lying on the bureau in their room disclosed the fact that they were from Tippecanoe, and that the couple were not man and wife,as was sup- posed. The woman, it appears, had been the wife ofa cousin of the man with whom she had eloped and suicided. CIRCUIT COURT NEWS. August Becker Withdraws a Suit to Sus- tain a Patent—Notes. The suit of August Becker against Newcomb Bros., wallpaperers,which was to havecome to trial yesterday, but which was withdrawn by plaintiff, has caused a great deal of inter- estamong paper-hangers and fresco paint- ers all over the country. Becker is a brother- in-law of Carl Wimar, the celebrated artist who did the frescoing in the Court-housedome and Becker himself is well known through his endeavors to havethe pictures removed and saved. He claims to have invented a patent process of great utility in mural deco- ration which NewcombD Bros. and other deco- rators have been using extensively. The process consists in placing a cementattous matter on plastered walls upon which can- vas was spread forthe purpose of makinga surface for frescoing. The advantages de- rived by the use of this method are the non-appearance of cracks andthe susceptl- bility of a more artisfic finish. Beckerclaims ng he invented and patented the process n 1882. The decorators were greatly alarmed at Becker’s case and subscribed money to help fight it through the courts. Letters were sent out to over fifty firms in different parts of the country and in answer came numbers of affidavits certifying thatthe process had been used by them long previous tothe year in which Becker took out this patent. The Newcombs intheirreply dented that there was anything new or patentable carried by the alleged invention, and backed their statement by the affidavits. Becker became alarmed and agreed to compromise with the Newcombs by giving them a _ perpetual license. They were making a test case for the benefit of their fellow-tradesmen and — the offer. Becker then dismissed his a TWO WILLS. Catherine E.

Call EIGHT NEW STAKES, Additional Big Events for the St. Louis Spring Meeting. GREAT RACING FOR FORTY-EIGHT CON- SECUTIVE DAYS, SUNDAYS EXCEPTED. Latonia Will Be Given All the Fight It Wants— The East St. Louis Jockey Olub Almost Certain to Secure Lewis Olarke for Judge and Jack Chinn for Starter— Turf News. The Latonia Jockey Club has forced the St, Louls Jockey Club intoa fight, but before the smoke of battle has cleared away it will wish ithad not. The St. Louls management has taken the bull right by the horns and will givethe Cincinnati organization allthe fight it wants. Latonia, it will be remembered, took both the St. Louls dates and its own because when Washington Park, Chi- cago, set back Its meeting one week the St. Louls Association would not follow suit and set its opening date back a week in orderto let Latonia get the benefit of the Chicago mo ve and secure three weeks spring racing to two of the St. Louls club, and this, too, despite the fact that Latonia has athirty days’ meeting in the fall while St. Louis has nine. To have set back the St. Louls meet- ing a week would have hurt it, as the weather would be much hotterand many residents of the city would have left for the summer re- sorts. Latonia by taking both her own and St. Louts’ dates will havea meeting which will last from May 21 to June 2 inclusive. By getting the horses there first and continuing its meeting right through the St. Louls dates it would be next to impossli- ble for the track here to get horses at its meeting. To offset this stateof affairs St. Louls decided to give the Latonia cluba dose of its own mixing and will race from April 30to June 24inclusive. Upto June3 it will be known as the spring meeting, and from June 4on as the summer meeting. This will give forty-eight days continuous racing; and the enormous amount of $150,000 In stakes and purses will be given. This will be$30,- 000 more than bas been hung up so far by Washington Park, Chicago, and far more thanany other Westerntrack ever gave in onejseason. The ten stakes for the summer meeting have already been announced. The club has now made pubilc eight other stakes which are to be given at the spring meeting, ro previousto June 4. The entries forthe entire eighteen stakes close at the same time, the 15thofthe present month. There is not a stake in the entire lot with less than $1,000 added and some of them as much as $5,000 added, Of the eight new stakes for the spring meeting, one the Directors’ Stake, has $2,500 added, while the Inaugural, to be runon to be run on the opening day and the Memorial, to be run on Decoration Day, have $2,000 each added. The Hotel Stake has $1,500added. The purses will also be very liberal. Upto May 21, the opening day at Latonia, no purses will be less than $400 and after tnat date there will beno purse of less than $500. This should bring the horses here before Latonia opens and hold them here until the St. Louls meeting closes on June 24. Below ts a list of the new stakes to be given at the spring mevting, or previous to June 4.

The course will pecullarly well adapted for winter racing, its promoters claim, because they say that it Is sand and dirt, and is so constructed that water will not remain on it long enough for the ground to become soft or even disagreeable to race upon. Joe Ullman, who came down from Chicago to accept the management of the track, had the pooling privileges at Corrigan’s course itn that city, and he stated yesterday that that well-known turfman had promised to send down several of his horses to race at the track. Mr. Ullman stated further that Col. M. Lewis Clarke, president of the Louisville Jockey Club, who had been made an offer to serve at the course as judge would, no doubt, accept, and that it was also pretty certain that Jack Chinn would be secured to serve as starter,in which capacity he been acting at Garfield Park. Coli. Clarke also served there as judge and served as —— at the last regular meeting of the St. uis Fair Grounds Track, He hasa big reputation in that line and Mr, Ullman says the management Of the track will be placed entirely in the hands of Clarke and Chinn. Mr. liman claims to have already re- cefved several one for stable room, and alsoapplications for bookmaking priv- lleges. **Of course,’’ said he, ‘‘a book on Eastern and other races will be a feature of the track. The betting ring will be quite large, so that patrons of the park, as well as Kmakers, willhaveample room. It will be 160 feet long by 55 feet wide, with a high ceiling and glass front, and the front can removed or folded back whenever the weather becomes mild. The purses will be for not less than $200, and will range as high as $400. Just as soon as the St, Louls races have closed in June, the East St. Louls Jockey Club will also hang up some valuable stakes. **The rate of admission has been fixed at 30 cents, sothatitis within the reach of all, Electric cars will run from the bridge direct tothe grandstand in fifteen minutes. The club is now figuring with several steam railroads who are anxious to put switches tothe park. The facilities for cee passengers are unsurpassed, and besides the stea llroads and electric cars there is a beautiful drive from the bridge to the kK. Posters concerning the meeting will soon be stuck up and they will be very handsome, On the opening day of the East 8st. Louis Jockey Club there will be large delegations ofturfmen from Chicago, Louisville, Cln- cinnati and Memphis. THE GUTTENBURG MEETING. GUTTENBURG, Jan.2.—The pouring rain and cold wind seemed to stimulate rather than depress the ardor of the regulars, and the crowd which made its way to the hill-top track this afternoon was fully as large as Usual, The track was almost covered with water, and the mud records of the horses en- tered in the various races were carefull looked into. Vagabond’s former good wor under conditions similar to thoseof to-day made him the favorite in the first race. _ Lil- lian led throughout and beat the favorite with ease. Had Vagabond made his effort earlier he might have made the Lorillard cast-off extend herself. As it was she won ina gallop. H. Jones had his first mount since his jrecent dccident. He rode Iceberg in the first race. In the second event Little Fred was the most fancied at the al- most prohibitive odds of 1 to 2. There was a heavy plunge on him and many backers of form were a disappointed when Censor beat the favorite by alengthand a half. In the fourth Woodcutter ran neck and neck to the farturn, butin the stretch Woodcutter came away and won by three lengths.

On the first ballot the vote stood: Laylin, 88; McGrew, &. This was four majority for the Sherman candidate. It is pretty generally conce@ed that Sherman will bave four majority inthe Senate, which will eive him eight Hiajority in the two fliouses. Foraker now Claimsthat seven or eleht that voted for Laylin will vote for him Senator. Before the caucus it was conceded that there would be cross- voting, but that it would be three Foraker men for Laylin an‘ three Sherman men for McGrew. Before the caucus Laylin claimed forty-two votes out of seventy-two, making allowance for lars. McGrew claimed thirty-nine pledged. The result showed that Laylin fell four short, and Mc- Grew five short of his calculation. The House caucus metat 2:25. Mr. Taylor of Champaign called the members to order, and after some fuss about the admittance of members ofthe press, Mr. Daugherty was Chairman and Mr. Llewellyn was made Secretary. It was decided to eiect the officers by ballot, and Messrs, James and Sterritt, Foraker members, were appointed tellers. The nom- ination of candidates for Speaker being in order, Mr. Holcomb, a Sherman member, nominated Mr. Laylin, eulogizing him as one whose the office. for made has been very active and has an experience the affairs of the House that wiil « ify him for presiding over the House. Griffin presented Mr. McGrew’s nameand said that he, too, had a judicial mind and that he would be an excellent pre- siding officer and commenced Mr. McGrew asa candic or speaker. The vote was then taken ith the following result Lay- lin, 88; McGrew, 34. This elects Laylin. There were necessary to a cholce thirty- seven votes. As soon as the result was an- nounced the crowd outside broke into cheers for Sherman. Mr. McGrew moved to make the nomination of Mr. Laylin unanimous and this was don: Mr. F., M. Sterrett of S&t.

One of the incidents of this afternoon was the announcement by State Senators Spencer enc Parker that they were supporters of sherman. Foraker had claimed them. Both had been pulled and hauled all forenoon by Foraker men. When these two men broke lromthe throng around them and entered “eDalor sherman’s room they were cheered sly. Mr. Speneer, ina brief speech, said he had to withdraw from his friends who uigeu him to vote for Gov. Foraker, and with *vicenlemotion he referred tothe pangs of that he felt at having been com pelled to decline those who re his personal friends in order to fulfill a 'y ‘i Made tacitly,’’ said he, ‘‘a pledge ue Liipe of holding the convention, which orn bothering me more or less since, ‘hich is responsible for my coming out ng that i will support John sberman ted States Senator.’’ need cheering}. this demonstration dces not i1.that lexperienced in ‘lenden Hotel this morning. ‘| thay | will Keep my piedge.’’ : gz. ~enator Sherman made a reply.

REEVES AND WILLIAMS EXPLAIN. The Alliance and Labor people point to Reeves’ declaration as an evidence of an In- dependent movement against Sherman, but the friends ofthe Senator claim that Mr. Reeves’ arguments are only a subterfuge to explain his failure to support Sherman. Mr. Reeves’ statement to the press is par- ticularly important because Mr. Foraker’s friends declare that Senator Lam , also of Ashtabula,and several other doubtfuls, will assume the same position in declaring for Foraker after the preliminary caucuses are over. **Il won my election,’’ says Mr. Reeves, *‘as anindependent Republican and a farmer. My interests are for the general good of the State and the Nation, and especially for the industrial and laboring classes, with whom I am numbered. Tne natureof my campaign was such as to bring mein close touch with this class of my constituency and to con- vince me that there was a predominating sentiment with this class that Senator Sher- man should be retired from the position he has held for thirty years and give place to one whose sympathies and surroundings were more in common with the inasses of the people. My intimate friends and supporters well knew my feel- ings in this regard, hence the unanimous support of grangersand Alliance men. Im- mediately after election a tidal wave of Sher- man sentiment went over Ashtabula County with such force as apparently to submerge entirely the sentiment for ex-Gov. Foraker, and 1 was immediately besieged by sherman men seeking to commit me to the sup- of Senator Sherman, durin which time my friends who were decide supporters of Gov. Foraker, while asserting that they would gladiysee him inthe Senate, saidto methat it would be fatal to me po- litically tosupport him. Under this pressure of sentiment, followed up by persodal im.- portunities, I far yielded to it as to it loOKSs as if I were have to support Mr. Sherman in orderto do the will of my constituents. Immediately this was followed up by importunities that they might so in- form the Senator, and in this moment of supreme pressure, feeling that it must be the inevitable result, i consented to have the Senator so informed, which 1 have regretted every day of my life since. And now, be- HNevingasIdo this sentiment was largely created through the influence of Federal patronage and promises of the same, a sample of which may be seen in the assertion of a prominent newspaper of our county whose editor isa postmaster, that whoever is representative of Ashtabula County and dares to vote against Senator Sherman,will dig his grave due east and west, and so deep as to preciude the possibility of a resurrection. Allthe difference that Il can see between this kind of bulldozing ana the Mississippi plan, is the difference between the politicai and physical death, and seen the time when I would accept the latter as a preference.

Representative Wililams of Noble says: ‘‘I have considered the Senatorial solution care- fully and have endeavored to govern myself if in ' by what I considered the best interests of the State and the Republican party. I have al- ways appreciated Senator Sherman’s ability and past services and mean no reflection upon him.’’ y~ a result of the declarations of Reeves and the Foraker men are very conf- dent this morning, but a visit to Senator Sherman’s headquarters failed to reveal any lack Of cheerful assurance among his foi jiowing. Everybody concedes that the con- test Is a close one, andit looks at this hour as though the ninety-three votes of the cau- cus will be so evenly divided that the victor have @ majority of less than a half will aozen. TROUBLE THREATENED IN CLEVELAND, |THE FORAKER MEN VOW VENGEANCE O* ALL WHO FIGURE IN HIS EXPECTED DEFEAT. CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 2.~—There has not been in@hioin twenty-five years as is now on. The contest a state of bitterness over are alarmed. The Gissatisfaction with Sher- man arose from his age and his distribution of the Federal patronage which he has prac- | tically controlled ever since the war, with the exception of Clevelanda’s administration. His age made bim disregard younger element in the party arms and fought for Foraker as House caucus this afternoon at Columbus, at which Kepresentative Laylin was nominated for Speaker by a vote Of 3§ to 441s a guaran- tee of Sherman’s election by a fair margin, and as a result the Foraker men are every- where vowing revenge. In this are two distinct factions. The young men, who enthuse over Foraker, Hugh Buckley, the proprietor big saloon, and the older men are under the leadership of of M. A. Hanna, a wealthy vessel Owner and iron ore and street railway magnate. It is well known that the majority of the delegation of eleven from this count vote for Foraker, but nantea’s shrewd work and the financial and other pressure brougbt to bear upon them have forced at least ten Buckiey and his friends are furious and vow to knife every Sherman man who ever comes up for bitter fight of them into the Sherman ranks. office.

AT DALLAS. A Sensational Story of an Alleged Illegal Marriage Ceremony—The Young Lady Btated to Have Been an Innocent Dupe ~George A. Stevenson, the Inventor, Charged With Bigamy. DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 2.—Society in the city of Oak Oliff_is much shocked over the sensa- tionaland somewhat mysterious ending of the Fanny Cherry Opera .Oo., which was or- ganized last summer by local amateurs, with Miss Fanny Cherry, highly connected at Oak Cliff, at its head, and also the leading lady, They played a series of engagements in North Texas. A few days agoa dispatch from Bon- ham stated thata young lady, a member of the Fanny Cherry Opera Co., had attempted suicide, and said her home was with Mrs. Jos. Laing of Oak Cliff, though she would not give her name. On Christmas day an actor named Brough- ton married Miss Cherry, who is only 17 years old. Mrs. Laing of Dallas, the girl’s gcuar- dian, heard of the marriage and decided to investigate the getuineness of the same. Accordingly she went to Lehigh, I. T., the place where the couple are sald to have been married, but could find no. evidence ofa license having been issued, nor could she get any é6atisfaction from Broughton. She per- suaded the girl to return home pending an investigation of the marriage, which they are inclined to believe to have been a mock proceeding. A dispatch from Lehigh stated that Brough- ton’s wife had been kidnapped by Mrs. Laing and an officer andthat he would cometo Dallas and bring suit against Mrs. Laing on that charge. To a PosT-DISPATCH correspondent to-day Mrs. Laing sald: ‘*The charge is that undue influence was used to bring about the mar- riage. She had not heard from us and we could not receive any news from her; her letters having been made away with in some manner. We never got them. She is only 17 years old.

TOO MANY WIVES GET AN INVENTOR INTO TROUBLE. READING, Pa., Jan. 2.—George A, Steven- son, the inventor ofa cast iron rallroad tile, was committed to prison hereto-day in de- fault of $1,500 ball for alleged bigamy and desertion. The charge was preferred by his |first wife, Eliga, residing in Philadelphia. Subsequently wife No. 2 was arrested on a | charge of misdemeanorand held on her own recognizance to appear when wanted. About 'amonth ago Stevenson employed an attor- ney to secure a divorce from his first wife on the ground of desertion. It was thus that she |}ascertained his whereabouts, and coming to Reading she learned that be was living with another woman. She then turned the tables by securing his arrest. Mrs. Stevenson No. 2 says that she was married in Baitimore in October, 1890, where she was a salesiady wheo Stevenson made her acquaintance. viously married until five weeks ago. she has a child three months old. When arrested Stevenson said to the de- tectives that as his Philadelphia wife had ce- serted him he thought he was free to marry again. Mrs. Eliza Stevenson denies that she left her husband, but says that he de- serted her and their two children. SENSATIONAL ELOPEMESNT.

TOMATO CULTURE. The Yield May Be Greetly Increased by Using Trellises. From Meehan’s Monthly. It has been noted that where tomatoes can be raised on trellises, or some other support |from the ground, hearly double the quantity | can be raised from an acre than where they | are suffered to trail on the ground. Rain and unfavorable weather especially, drawback to this trailing method of produc- tion. It does not seem to be generally known that one of the best trellises for the tomato t is a Comparatively short straight stick, with short snags or spurs up and down it. A smooth Straight stick will not per- mit the vines to be held up slipping. Wherever these heavy rough sticks can be easily obtained, they will be found to add enormously tothe vaiue of the \crop. Those, however, who have a little ingenuity could use smooth sticks, by first wrapping the tying material once around the stick before tying up the vines; this pre- vents the tying materiai from slipping down. Another advantage of this method of tying to straight stems is the advantage which it gives the plant for light mm every Girection, and, again, another advantage is afforded by a much longer period for the cultivation of the soil, more than can be done when the plants are ieft totrail on the ground. We have known as muchas a bushe! of tomatues to be obtained from a sin- rich soil, ‘Rraniy im tbe the ginue?

Fotled by a Blow Under the Ear anda ' GQloethes Line—Great Enthusiasm at the Club When the Whole Story Came Out. Various conflicting rumors were fying about Watermelon Hall for half an hour pre- vious to the opening of the meeting. Some had it that Bro. Gardner had been abducted by two men and carried over to Hoboken for ransom; others, that Sir Isaac Walpole had Deen killed by a Chinaman; others still, that a package of dynamite had been found in the hall itself. Something had happened to upset Thomp- eon street its whole length, but just what it was no one could find out, It was finally re- ported that Bro. Gardner had been ransomed for $sanda Waterbury watch, and he put in an appearance just then, asif to confirm the story. He went abead in his usual calm and manner, and after everything was in running order he stepped to the front and **My fr’en’s, I h’ar dat all sorts o’ wild stories hev bin fiyin’ about dis arternoon an’ eavenin’ consarnin, myselfan’ odder officers.

I was ba’fut at the time,shavin’ off my co’ns, but ’sposin’ de pusson to be Sir Isaac Walpol, cum down to pay me back de two dollars he has owed me fur three or fo’ months, I called to him to cum in. Mrs. Gardner had dun gone out to meet up with a church society, an’ 1 was all alone. **Genlen, who do you ‘spose dat pusson was? Hewas a white man. He had long black ha’r. His eyes rolled. He was chankin’ his teeth. In his right hand he held a pack- age, an’ he waved it around and declar’d dat it I didn’t hand ober $10,000 In cash he’d biow de hull outfit nineteen miles high!

As he looked into de wood-box I was clus behind him, an’ I drawed off an’ let him hev it behind de ear. He fell to de flooh, an’ defo’ he could kick twice I had him tied hand an’ fut wid de clothes-line. Here the entire meeting rose up as one man and cheered and shouted until the plas- ter began to fall in every direction. _“*When I called in de police,’’ said the President, after order was restored, ‘ we examined de bomb, an’ we found datit con- tained ‘nuff ’sploshunto kill forty-eight of de leadin’ capitalists of No’th America.

Sir Isaac Walpole then arose and said the Gay had arrived when no great manin this country was safe from the crank and his bomb, There must be a remedy. We must search forandapply it. While he sincerely congratulated ro. Gardner on his es- ae what security had the club that some er crank would not try the same thing to- 7 Elder Toots said the evils must be grappled with atonce.

Peculiar as such taste may seem, I often find myself wishing thatI werea scapegoat. I mean the original, orthodox old Mosaic scapegoat, which received upon his Dacka supposititious burden of popular sins and was dismissed into the wilderness. Idonotcare even it he was dismissed witha caress from the toe of the sacerdotal sandal. Ienvry that brute. For he had the burden laid upon him only once, and was set free; while I am chained fast, to receive burden after burden, year after year. His burden, too, was merely one of sin, while mine is one of folly. poere is hope for a sinner, but none fora “fool. So here I sit at the editor’s desk a target for every crank in Christendom, not to men- tion those in the back counties of heathen- dom, to fire all sorts of fool communications at. Here is one, the date and signature of which I, of course, suppress, from a heaven- born genius who wanted to shed the splendor ofhis intellect upon mankind through the medium ofthe press. Observe his blushing modesty, indubitable hall mark of true worth: DEAR Str—I have decided to secure a position asa traveling correspondent witha leading paper. * * * Iam qualified for writing on almost any theme, po- litical, commercial, religious or sci2ntific. I am ready with scenery, with constructive and mechani- calart. Ii describe in glowing colors; can revel in the merits of solid thought orthe humorous. Can dish up a cock and bull fight or indorse the groans of a Methodist camp meeting. I see good in everything and fine opportunitiesinacontributor’slife. * * * Phrenologists have told me from boyhood that my natural abilities run toward newspaper correspond- ence. Itis true thatI delightinsuch. * * * Ifyou have rules I will be pleased to consider the same. Asking foran early reply, most truly, That letter was type-written, and fairly correct in orthography, etymology and syn- tax. Did I answer it? Certainly not, nor any such. Poetry, of course, plays a conspicuous part in the editor’s comedy of torture. It is generally accompanied by aletter loudly de- oe its superlative merits. Sometimes a letter is written by a friend ofthe poet, who has with difficulty persuaded the sweet singer to let his music goabroad throughout the land. Here is aspecimen note in such a case. It was handsomely penned and correctly spelled; indeed the writer was a professional man of fine parts. Butthe poetry which he inclosed was the dreariest of doggerel, void ofsense orsound. This is what he wrote: DEAR Sin—This note accompanies a poem, which I am sure you will be glad to publish, as it is equal in poetic merit to ‘*Beautiful Snow,’’ or Byron’s *‘Stanzas to Augusta.’’ The coupling of ‘‘Beautiful Snow’’ and **Stanzas to Augusta’’ in one breath, and in that order, too, isa sufficient indication of the transcendent altitudes to which ‘‘higher criticism’’ may go. Sometimes the would-be poets call in per- sonand want toread their productions to me; but don’t,ifican helpit. On one oc- casion a young Man asked to be permitted to sit down atavacant desk in my office and write a poem. For thirty minutes he sat there, inhaling the divine afflatus; or exhal- ing it, lreally don’t know which. Then he handed to mea ‘‘poem’’ of five four-line stanzas and wanted $5 for it. He still wants it, but here is the initial stanza: The fifth of September, eighty-four, The night of which the memorabie for A moonlight trip on Long Island Sound, When from our vacation we were home ward bound. There are those who, failing to get the editor to do so, print their poems them- selves, and then send coples for the book- reviewer to notice. Thus one wrote of army life, under the title ‘‘High Private,’’ beginning as follows: HIGH PRIVATE. WHO CAN TELL US OF A SOLDIER'S LIFE? I, says the Private, For [I’ve taken a hive at Many a farim-yard, While standing on guard And eating the honey Without money, And spewed on the ground For rods around. Taken many a hen From out the pen, And many a shee While others were asleep And many a bacon Un our march to Macon. The inventive crank is almost ‘‘too numer ous to mention,’’ but I must give at least one sample of him in the form of an excerpt from a twelve- paged letter teeming with intricate mathematical calculations: Drar Sirn—I have made Drawings to show how a iron tunnel from Sanfrancisco city California to Liv- erpoel can be made for people to pass through it speed one mile inten seconds 6 miles a minute 360 miles each hour 8640 adaylhave been Drawing it for 22 years. the train will have one or two hunared cars and 4 men to manage it one engineer une conductor one feeder one watchman who sits in front of the engine but protected by fine glass to guard against dust. Asking questions to decide bets isa favor- ite method oftorture. Generally a reply by return mail is demanded, with no postage in- ciosed ; or it is to be printed in the next day’s paper. Many of these come on postal cards, as did this sample: DEAR Sin—What yeardid Jenny Lind die? Will Henry George disband the police force if elected Mayor? I have bets on all these. Another postal card, from a foreign coun- try. betrays some terrible grievance cher- ished by the writer against our Northern neighbors, but no explanation of the animus is afforded: Reasons why Canadians are not my functionaries: 1.

Icannot, perhaps, more fittingly bring toa close this brief incursion into Waste Basket dom than by transcribing literally the open- ing lines of a long essay sent to me by a poetic philosopher of Philadelphia: The leaves are beginning to turn and will soon be falling fast the summer days have past we have seen the red sunsets azuresky and white clouds and also roses and lilys and violets bloom but wherever we see the American flag with ite stripes and lofty col- ors and stadded with stars either in this land of the free or on the ship that is afloat on the waters of the we Lyey sea there is also liberty but the star shines bright on a moonlight night im the starry heavens therefore no doubt truth and righteousness should ine in the newspapers.

WHAT THE PAPERS MISSED. Man Who Just Slipped Into Town : Quietly. He backed intoa doorway on Broadway, near Locust street, and snapped his fingers at a newsboy and said: **Bub, I may want to buy you out, orI may not want a single paper.

One of the greatest social puzzles to Euro- pean strangers in San Francisco Is to classify our women by their looks and dress. The average globe trotter fails utterly to dis- tinguish the 400 from the 400,000. Astartling case of this tnability of the Euro- pean tourist was related the other night ina rominent club by a swell visitor from across he seein pond, *‘*Deucedly queer girls Francisco,’’ said the loya Victoria. ** How s0?’’ ‘‘l was out in pawk this morning, you know, and I saw two deucedly pretty and rat gages girls mbes | bicycles up a hill, you know, and they looked so Jolly and inno» cent that I couldn’t help remarking, ‘Ve hawd work, ladies,’ and what do you thin was the reply?’’ **What?’ ***Yes, bloody hard work, cully, and—poor pay.” Do you think they were respectable girls?’’ asked the puzzled tourist. ‘*Oh, certainly.

Thirty years or more ago, Thomas Starr King greatly added to his wide fame as a re- markably fine pulpit orator, by delivering through the country a lecture upon Socrates. A man who had heard the famous lecture in. a neighboring city was speaking of it with much enthusiasm and pleasure to a group of friends in one of the public rooms of the hotel in which he lived. One of the class of self-satisfied ignora- muses, who lookedas if he werea mine of wisdom, but who never lost a chance to make his ignorance fully evident, dispersed the group as effectively as ifa ploded on the spot, by saying, with an air which was intended to show how wise he was: ‘*Mr, King, very amongst the likely, has traveled) ocrates!’’ | Whiskers and the Wind.

Showing the Controversial Value of the Rubber Dam, and the Fact Thata True ly Good Man Does Not Lose All When He Abandons the Pulpit. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DisPratTcu. Yesterday I met the Rev. Silas Perking, Naturally we fell to talking of old friends, and presently he asked if I remembered hig old antagonist, Pastor Brown, who preached tn the old brick church which was so inferior architecturally and every other way to the one in which Pastor Perkins had labored ing oyr old town. **Well, you’ll be surprised to hear that Brown bas abandoned the ministry,’’ said Mr. Perkins. ‘‘He never confessed it, but yetican’t help feeling sure my arguments in the old days—you’ll recall a thousand of them, for we were always at it—must have had great influence upon him. At any rate he gave up preaching about eight years ago and studied denistry. He’s located in this city and is very successful, I am told. I’m going upto his office now to have a little work done. Come along with me; he'll be giad to see you. 1 haven’t met him since he left the old town, but I venture to say that he has abandoned his tron-clad, sulphurous creed. It will be rather a pleasure to me, I must say, to hear him confess it, and I’d -be particularly glad to have you present when he does it.’’ Taccompanied the Rev. Mr. Perkins. We found Mr. Brown well established in com- fortable offices, ifthat adjective can be ap- plied toany room which is devoted to the miseries of dentistry. I noticed that he re- tainedon his sign the D. D., which stood just as well for doctor of dentistry, and that the table in his reception-room, instead of being littered with the comic papers usually furnished for the purpose of working a cus- tomer’s mind up gradually to the idea of having a few molars extracted, bore only works of a doctrinal nature. By these ob- servations I was led to doubt the probability ofthe retraction which Pastor Perkins had predicted. But Pastor Perkins started right tn to it, as soon as I had received my welcome -had been comfortably seated in a corner of the operating room. He climbed into the chair and began at once. ‘It’s a long time since we’ve had one of our old arguments,’’ said he. ‘*‘Per- haps It’s too late now to have another, forI don’t doubt that your views have been modified tillthey coincide much more near with mine. Eh? Yes; it’s that front toot on the right side. There’s a big hole in it, I’m afraid. As I was saying, time brings its changes and arguments such as I used to employ with you sink gradually into the mind. There was always too much of real good human sympathy in you to permit you to hold those damnatory doctrines of yours forever. Your kindness of heart—Aouch! Don’t poke around with that chisel as if my head was a block of wood.’’ ‘*Lam only examining the cavity, ’’ reputed Bro. Brown. ‘‘It is lucky you didn’t let it go any longer.’’ ofargument on the subject of revising your *‘Contession of Faith,’’’ continued Pastor Perkins, ‘‘andI don’t doubt that you have yourself seen the need of thome thuch mo’- ficathun of the ol’formth of b-a-a-a-a—’’ The incoherence in the latter pon of Bro. Perkins’ remark was due to the fact that Bro. Brown was adjusting the rubber dam that contrivance of the enemy whichadas 50 much to the horrors of dentistry. **Astothe question of revision,’’ said he whittling away, meanwhile, ona branch of Bro, Perkins trifacial nerve, **you will remember the night when you and Mr, Fielding were at my house—the night of the great storm in this month ten years ago; you can’t have forgotten it. I then outlined my So on this matter, and I know you must ve admitted to yourself that my argu- ments were unanswerable.’’ **My dear brother, your anthum—anthum- thum—.’’ I suppose he was try ing to say as- sumption, but Bro. Brown had put three or four fingers anda few dental instruments into his Doon arn mouth and they naturally interfered with hits articulation, . **Granting, then,’’ continued Bro.
