CONSTANTINOPLE, April 16.—Tne attention of all European powers has been directed with great interest towards Russia and Austria because of events occuring in that ~part of the world during the present week. The note of appeal issued by Bulgaria to other powers for protection, nominally against Turkey but in reality against Russia, is a:spark which may explode a magazine. The appeal is positive in its terms, clear and explicit as to the cause of the complaint and is a bold arraignwhent of Russia and her pol- icy. Itcharges Russiain emphatic and dis- tinct language with having connived with Turkey in fomenting discord in Bulgaria, of instigating assassinations to carry out her design and charges Turkey with being sub- servient to and a willing ally of Russia. If this protest is what many believe it to be, the precursor of a declaration of Bulga- rian independence, it is regarded as being likely to result in a European war. Austria evidently appreciates the situation correctly. The leading statesmen and the Government organs have exerted themselves to pacify Bulgaria, and to prevent her de- mand being made officially until after Em- peror Francis Joseph and Prince Ferdinand could meet and consult over the dangerous situation. Buttheexcitementattendant upon the recent developments counteracted even such powerful influences as these. If Bulgaria follows up to its logical sequence her demand, and war follows, Aus- tria must necessarily support Bulgaria and this would bring herin direct antagonism to Russia. In this event France would throw her influence onthe side of Russia while Italy’s position would be doubtful. Dr. Dimitroff, who has succeeded the late Dr. Vulkovitch as Bulgarian Diplomatic Agent to the Porte, hadan important inter- view to day with the Sultan relative to the crisis existing Detween Buigaria and Turkey. It is said that Dr, Dimitroff demanded that action be taken by Turkey to require Russia to give up harboring assassins and conspira- tors of Bulgaria. The Sultan was given to understand that if Turkey could or would not protect her vassal state the Bulgarians would protect themselves. Bulgaria is now ina position to free herself from Turkish control, and ali signs point to an early declaration of her independence. AHLWARDT’S PAMPHLET. THE AUTHOR I8 A NOTORIOUS JEW BAITER— HIS CAREER CLOSING. BERLIN, April 16.—One of the sensations of the week is the publication of Rector Ahl- wardt’s pamphlet against Ludwig Loewe & Co., who made in their: gun factory and de- livered to the government last year 425,000 small caliber rifles. Ahlwardt says that the rifles are of shoddy make and not up to the requirements and will have to be replaced before the next war, Ahlwardt is the most venomous Jew: baiter in the Empire and the animus of the pamphlet jis-to be found in the fact that Ludwig Loewe & Co. are a Jewish- firm. His present Gual attack on the Government for its carelessness in accepting the rifles and on the gun-makers, for defective work is inspired by Parson Stocker and the Kreuz Zeitung Conservatives, who are anxious to at once abuse the Jews and get even with the Emperor for his recent kicks at their party. Ablwardt, however, is about the lowest in- strument they could have secured. As princl- palofa high school in Berlin he borrowed money from his pupils and their parents, from members of the school board and from other teachers until he was so deep in debt that he was adjudged a bankrupt and was forced to resign. His last bit of writing before the Loewe pamphlet was published, accused Bloichroeder, one of the biggest Jewish bankers in Berlin, of having led astray the wife of a tailor, having bought the silence of her and her husband for several years, and of having perjured himself finally, when arraigned on the husband’s complaint, by swearing that he was never intimate with the woman. Whenthe Government tried to investigate the allegations of perjury against Bloichroeder, Ahlwardt said Bismarck, whose banker Bloichroeder had been for many years; had the records ofthe trialstolen and thus ended the inquiry. These charges against Bloichroeder were so near the truth that the banker has not sued Ahlwardat. Ludwig Loewe & Co. will proceed against him for criminal libel and probably will end his career. Ahlwardt, at present, is conducting an anti-Jew campaign inthe provinces, and is holding nightly tumultuous meetings, in- directly in the interest of the Clerical-Conser- vative coalition against the Emperor. ON A WHALING VOYAGE, BY ROUGHING IT ON THE SEA EMPEROR WILL- IAM HOPES TO REGAIN HIS HEATH. BERLIN, April16.—Preparations for Emperor William’s whaling trip are complete and the imperial yacht Hohenzollern, which the Em- peror usually commands in the uniform of an admiral, has been overhauled in anticipation of thetrip. The imperial party will reach Bodoe Harbor on July 9,and thence will pro- ceed with the Glaver brothers to their famous whaling station in Skaaroe, north of Tromsoe, The fleet of whalers will put out on July 12, and the Emperor will ship in one of the common boats, as his orig- inal plan to accompany the fieet in the Hohenzollern has been abandoned, The Emperor will follow the advice of his phys!- Cian and will ‘‘reugh it.’’ He hopes by im- proving his general health in this manner to stay the progress of the disease in his ear and avoid the nécessity of an pperation which Dr. Esmarch is said to have seconded Berg- Mann in recommending. The departure of the Emperor has been deferred until July so that he can remain at the Neuve Palais in Yotsduam until the Empregs shall have re- covered from her accouchement, which is expected to take place early in June, Julius Geertz, who was Sent to Berlin by the - German society, completed his wofk and he submitted it for approval this Meek toan imperial audience, The bust of the Emperor by Madume Van der Hoeven, wife of the Dutch Minister ir Berlin, is alfhost done, after repeated sittings, The Emr a6 ' ot **taken’’ in ’ am Pherts bas ge a tA cea Det Pie cheno gi ety; Lee ae og ie a wee ay NaF \ Gets 22> | fei ie ke > : - without the summoning of a photographer to the palace to make a picture of himin some Dew costume or-attitude.

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, April 16.—The New- foundiand Legislature yesterday rejected a motion to impose a tax upon United States ves- sels obtaining bait in Newfoundlandwaters un- less the Newfoundland fish is admitted free of duty into Phe United States, and to impose an export tax on frozen herring shipped in United States bottoms. The Premier said the matter Was.now the subject of negotiations between England, the United states and Can- ada and Newfoundland. He spoke of Canadian opposition to the Bond-Blaine Convention and said the Americans spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in Newfoundland in win- ter and it was futile ®o attempt retaliation against the United States. Newfoundland did not succeed in the. fishery, he said, be- cause their ships, gear and appliances were inferior to those of the Americans. The United States, by signing the corvention, had done all that was possible on its part, DOMINION AFFAIRS, TORONTO, Ontario, April 16.—A rumor was Current yesterday that broker A. G. Brown, who fied from this city last week after haying committed a series of forgeries, had been ar- rested in Texas, but all efforts to confirm the rumor failed. The crown attorney says he heard that Brown had been taken into custody, but he did not think that ft was true, for as far as he knew no steps had been taken against him, no information had been laid, nor had any warrant been issued. At the attorney-general’s it was learned no steps had been taken to bring Brown back. Detectives, however, think he may be picked up somewhere and detained by the American authorities. Alarming reports are current at Quebec re- garding the condition of His Eminence Car- dinal Taschereau. His. physical strength Seems to be unimpaired ,but there are indica- tions that his mental balance is gradually be- coming unstrung. It is understood that alleged ‘‘boodling’’ charges in connection with the Lake St. John: Railroagd against Sir Adolphe Caron, Post- master General of Canada, will be investi- gated, IN NEED OF MONEY. PREMIER RUDINI’S DIFFICULTY IN FORMING A NEW CABINET. RomeE, April 16.—The trouble in the Italian Cabinet still continues and the fact that the difficulties were brought about by financial embarrassment makes the task of Premier Rudini in forming a new cabinet an extreme- ly difficult one. The whole difficulty seemsto be that a large amount of money must be forthcoming, before any cabinet, no miatter of whom it is composed, will be able to put in motion the wheels of government and run them smoothly. . ' CAUSE OF FAMINE. LOOKING FOR A REMEDY OF THE EVILS WHICH AFFECT THE RUSSIAN PEASANTS. ST. PETERSBURG, April 16.—The special cor- respondent who for some months past has been traveling through the famine districts of Russia has just concluded his tour of the province of Kazan. The Nihilists, the corre- spondent adds, are eagerly taking advantage of the discontent to extend their propaganda.’ Practiced reformers are divided on the ques- tion of what should be done to remedy the evils. ; Some still rely upon the paternal guardian- ship of the Zemski Natchainiki. Some. wish to have the Mir (Communal Assembly) abol- ished. Afeweven suggest the introduction ofalaw of primogeniture for the peasants and thus prevent the subdivision of the land. The supporters of the Henry George system declare that the nobles own more land than they cantilland the Government has enor- moustracts of arable waste lands. They therefore favor the nationalization of the land and the appropriation of landlords’ holdings, GERMAN POLITICS, KAISER WILLIAMS’ ATTEMPT TO RECONCILE THE CONSERVATIVE LEADERS. BERLIN, April 16.—EKmperor William, hop- ing that his personal intervention would lead to a renewal of friendly relations betwgen the Conservatives and the Government, charged Count Von Waldersee, who is a fast friend politi- cally ofthe Conservative leaders, to ascer- tain what concessions it would be necessary to make to effect a reconciliation with them. Count Von Waldersee, by negotiations carried on partly through ex-Court Chaplain Stoecker and partly di- rectly, foundon all sides that the Conser- vatives would accept nothing less than a return to the policy of which clerical control of education was the leading feature. The sum of the position therefore is that when the Reithstagand Landtag reassemble the Government will .be confronted with a strong Conservative and Centrist majority in both parliamentary bodies. VALUABLE RECRUITS. Dr. Lyman Abbott and Wife Join the Sal- vation Army. NEw YorK, April 16.—Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott and Mrs. Abbott propose to show their sympathy with the world of the Salva- tion Army by becoming members of the Auxillary League of Army. Dr. Abbott also asks all members of Plymouth who can do so to join the league. **T wished,’’ said Dr. Abbott when spoken to onthe subject, ‘‘to give some testimonial to Mrs. Ballington Booth’s efforts, and work as a lecturer and in lieu of making upa urse and presentingittoher for the Salva- ion Army, I considered that it would be as well to ask church members,as many of them as could, to join the Salvation Army Auxil- lary League.

I believe that the army is certainly doing a great work in the slums which no organization can reach as effectively and for that reason it has my hearty sympathy and support. The league has no connection with Plymouth Church other than its membership may individually see fit to join it. A PUGILISTIC SEIRT DANVER. Millie Price Slugs a Salt Lake Dime Museum Manager.

Another Chapter of the Drayton Scandal Opens in London. MILBANK SERENELY AWAIT- ING DEVELOPMENTS, DUELIST Tuesday the Day Set for a Settlement of the Controversy About the Publication of the Correspondence—Ochiltree and De Morny Coming From Paris—Irish Warring Factions Defeating the Home Rule Cause—Dreary London-—British Topics. Lonpow, April 16.—Borrowe and Fox, both of whom have gained such unenviable noto- riety inthe Drayton scandal in connection with Duelist Milbank, are studiously keeping out of each other’s way. Fox drops into the smoking-room ofthe Victoria Hotel two or three times daily, but refrains from going near the Savoy Hotel, where Borrowe is stopping. Borrowe, on the other hand, is carefully keeping away from the Victoria Hotel or any other place where he is likely to meet Fox. Each party is patiently waiting for the otherto make the first move. Mil- bank is simply keeping quiet until his services as Borrowe’s friend are required. Borrowe and Fox still flatly contradict each other about the responsibility for publishing the correspondence which made public the facts of the scandal. Fox feels somewhat sore because Tom Ochiltree, the noted Texan, who shared _ the responsibility with him in disposing of the copy for publication, has gone to Paris, leaving Fox to face the music alone. Fox aad Milbank met almost face to face in the Strand yesterday, but apparently they did not see each other. No formal communication has passed be- tween Fox and i Borrowe, but Fox has managed to let Borrowe un- derstand through a mutual friend that his case is in_ the hands of two other friends who are absent from Lon- don for the Easter Holidays. When these friends return next Tuesday he will take the initiative, provided some unforseen accident does not bring the matter .toa climax vefore that time, Gen. Williams will arrive on Wednesday on the Teutonic. It is reported that the Duke De Morny contemplates returning from Paris with Ochiltree, so that with the exception of Drayton we shalt have & gathering of the claps next week. Mil- bank says he has several important letters bearing on the case which have not yet been made public, including one from Hazard written the day before Milbank salled, in which Hazard admits being a witness to the money agree- ment between Mr. and Mrs. Drayton, Hazard says in ~Mhis letter that he never denied beinga witness toit, but sim- ply made an ambiguous denial that the terms of-the agreement, as specified in MIil- bank’s letter were unfamiliar tohim. For the present the entire case is submerged in the impenetrable gloom which enshrouds everything in and around London at Easter- tide. > PRINCE' GEORGE OF WALES TO WED PRINCESS VICTORIA OF TECK—THE QUEEN CONSENTS. Lonpon, Apriliy.—It is reported in Lon- don, on excellent authority, that a marriage has practically been arranged between Prince George of Wales and Princess Victoria of Teck, who was to have married Prince Albert Victor, Qeceased. Since the Princess has been staying at Cannes negotia- tions have been carried on between her father, the Queen and the Prince of Wales. More than once recently the Tecks and the Wales have metina small village between Nice and Cannes, and have spent several hours together, the one family re- turning to Cape Martin and the other to Cannes every evening. The source from which this information comes Is of the best. It may be taken for certain that when the period of mourning has elapsed the engage- ROYAL MATCH-MAKING. ment will be announced. The Queen, Who it was anticipated would raise strenuous objections to the match, was found much more tractable than was ex- pected. The Prince of Wales is still In avery low state of Nealth. He seldom leaves the side of Prince George, on whom all his hopes are now centered. Nor does Prince George pick up strength rapidly enough to allay suspicions ofalarm. The doctors cannot say precisely what is the matter with him, but agree that serlous consequénces threaten, unless he soon begins to mend. Evgry effort is being made to get him away from Riviera to the bracing Norway air as speedily as possible. Another royal marriage in prospect is be- tween Princess Victoria of Wales and the hereditary Grand Duke of Nassau-Luxem- burg, who is one of the best matches in Eu- rope. He will inherit enormous estates in Germany and Austria from his father, as well as a very large fortune. The her- editary Grand Duke was born in 1852, isa cousin of the Duchess of Albany and a nephew of the Queen of Sweden. His only sister is married to the Crown Prince of Laden. The Queen has promised to send some specimens of her own knitting and spinning to the women’s section atthe Chicago Fair, also some pictures which she painted whena girl. Princess Beatrice, Princess Louise and Princess Christian will also send specimens of embroidery and needlework. Queen Victoria is passing a very pleasant, though very quiet life at Heyeres, and proba- bly. enjoys it much more thoroughly than any members of her household, who. are practically condemned to pass & time of rustic solitude. It ts rumored that her Majesty will go to Stowe some time in June to pay a visit to the Count of Paris. DREARY LONDON. GLOOMY EASTER WEATHER WITH STREFTS SEAS OF MUD—CURRENT TOPICS. Lonpon, April 16.—To people compelled to remainin London drearier Easter weather could not be imagined. Cutting winds make winter overcoats a necessity. The streets are teas of mud, the pavements beds of melting snow which lies an inch deep on lawns and gar- dens. Flowers are worth their weight in silver. The streets are deserted and. the omnibuses are empty. People who have fied tothe seaside fare little better. There are four inches of snow in Ventnor, in the Isle of the British ship Duakirk, from ld for e * ponovan, of re, , at « a mS ot a | while at Astoria, on Nov. 4. The Standard in commenting upon the Captain’s story points out the urgent necessity of the Government inducing the United States to abolish crimping by the suppression of desertion, which will also cease when ship masters are permitted to arrest their men who quit their ship without leave, The Standard adds that the gangs of roughs and ‘‘crimpers,’’ which at present infest and disgrace the ports of the United States would be compelled to follow other pursuits if such permission were given captains of vessels in American ports. The subject of anarchists still has interest for England. It has already given Lord Salisbury a deal of trouble. Other Europeah goveriments Dave adopted the plan of exchanging lists of more noted Anarchists with a view to their prompt de- tection and expulsion. It is reported that Lord Salisbury has so far gssented to the plan as to issue instructions to Scotland Yard to co-operate in the scheme, Even this act will probably result in a Parliamentary in- quiry as to how far the Premier has com- mitted the Enylish Government upon this subject, : IN TORY HANDS, FACTIONS DEFEATING THE CAUSE THEY ESPOUSE. Loxrpown, April 16.—The eliest thing in politics just now is the threatened split in the Irish party which, unless speedily healed, will retard the cause of Home rule quite as much ag Parnell’s downfall. The trouble arises out of the jointure of the Freeman’s Journal and the National Pres. The circumstances are briefly these: Mrs. Gray, the proprietress of the Freeman’s was to be paid for her ordinary shares by the issue of debentures at 5 per cent, having pre- cedence over all other share capital of the company. Afterwards she insisted that she should be guaranteed the — receipt of the + vValne...cof . the debentures in cash within si®°months. The directors of the National Press hac to give this guaran- tee, and having incurred this liability they withdrew their offer to take Dillon and O’Brien on the Board of Directors of the amalgamated newspapers. The cOmmittee of the McCartylite party thereupon held a meeting and’ reiterated their opinion that Dillon and O’Brien should be included in the board. Healy and other National Press Directors objected. A _ full meeting of the party was held. After a strong discussion it was agreed that when the directors had freed themselves, at the expiration of six months, from the liability they had undertaken other mem. bers would be elected to the board. Dillon, who was unable to be present at the meeting, is not satisfied with this settlement, He has written a letter attack- ing Healy, which has created a sensation in Ireland. As matters stand at present the schism in the McCarthylite patty looks pretty bad. It is suggested that a meeting of the party Should be bBeld in Dublin to try and arrive at some understanding, If a fresh breach occurs it will have a dis- astrous effect on the chances of home rule, as the Liberals will be inclined ta throw it over in disgust, At present there appears to be little chance of belag patched up. What may be as to the fresult in Ireland between Dillon and O’Brien on the one side and Healy on the other, there is no Goubt,that it will prove of immense ad- vantage to the Tories at the general election. of course the priests again figure largely in this factional fight. The Archbishop of Dublin entirel approves of Healy, while the Archbishop of Thurles takes the opposite side. Byaruleof the Irish bishops, no declaration can be made untila meeting is held of the entire hier- archy. Jim Kelly, the London correspondent of the Dublin Independent, ventilates the matter at great length in his newspaper, claiming that the Parnellite faction in the House of CommonDs fs now stronger, although numeri- cally weaker, than McCarthy is, because it possesses union, energy and a definite policy, while in the other party the follow- ers are composed of various sections, having differept aims and interests. O’Kelly pre- dicts a storm in which Healy will no longer be seen on the crest of the wave, but be castadrift. The English Liberals will back Dillon against Healy if the contest goes on, as the latter has never been popular with them, O’Kelly says there are now four distinct -factions in the Irish party. The first are the Healyites, a strong band made up of the all powerful Bantry family and their connec- tions. The second is the Dillion and O’ Brien party, not strong, but very likely to grow. The thirdis a neutral party, which is com- posed of men who tired of the growing dom- ination of Healy. The fourthis the McCarthy party, which is of minute dimensions. ihis new quarrel is an additional incentive to the Government to pronounce an early dissolution. The precise date will probably be announced soon after the Commons re- assemble. Before the House separated Bal- four was presented with a round ronbin signed by influential supporters of the ministry, drawing attention to the paralyzing effects of the present state of suspense on the ener- gies of the party and urging him to dissolve before the end of June.’ Balfour cannot ig- nore this request. Itis Believed also that it talls in with plans already decided upon by the government. IDLE SPINDLES. THE IRISH EVIL RESULTS OF THE LOCK-OUTIN LANCASHIRE LABOR DAY. LonponN, April 16.—Despite the increasing distress, the lock-out inthe Lancashire cot- tontradeis the largest ever known in England. Hitherto not More than 7,000,000 spindles have been idle atany one time, but now 15,000,000 are stopped. The funds of the operative spinners and of the card and blowing room hands are ina satisfactory state. Both societies regard an outlay of $60,000 a week for strike pay with comparative equanimity. Hope is. enter- tained even at this late hour that it may be possible to avoid the greatest industrial war known in Lancashire for many years. If a contest entered upon, it will certainly be fought in the most stubborn spirit on both sides. About 80,000 operatives are affected by the dispute. Labor Day this year falls on Sunday, and plans are already being made for a monster meeting in Hyde Park, to include delegates from all parts of England. There is no accarate news to-night of the result of the ballots of the Durham miners, but the returns from several collieriers indi- cate a large majority for carrying on the strike.

The pro bability is that they will not, as a large number of their pictures have been re- cently thrown on the market. The collection of the late Lord Uheylesmore will also be dis- posed of. It happens that he too was a patron or modern art. His pictures include some fa- mous Landseers, among others ‘*The; Monarch of the Glen.’’ | The demand for pictures of this class is al- most confined to the later accessions to the ranks of collectorg. Fewof the established men among them will condescend to look at anything but the Reynolds, Gainesboroughs and Romneys of the English school and the works of the great Dutch masters. The dis- persion of works of art in Engiana during the past three years, owing to financial depres- sion, has been exceedingly large, a a LONDON STAGE, THE WEEK REVIEWED—NEW PLAYS—LITERARY NOTES. Lonpon, April 16,—In the theatrical world holy week has been one of unusual’activity, notwithstanding the fact that the Lyceum, Haymarket, Adelphi and Garrick theaters have been closed during the week. At the Criterion on Monday there was a successful revival by Mr. Charles Lauri of the musical play ag oe words, *‘L’Enfant Prodigue.’’ It was sented withthe original French cast, and was received as heartily asat its former presentation in this city. At the Strand Theater on Monday. night was performed for the first time in. London the **Fantastic Mythological Modern Comedy’’ in three acts, entitled ‘‘Niobe,’’ by Harry and Edward Paulton. Thecaste included Harry Paultoh, Forbes Dawson, George P. Haw- trey, Miss Beatrice Lamb, Ena Goldsmith and Carlotte Zerbini. On Wednesday ‘‘The Magistrate’’ whs re- vived at Terry’s theater under the direction ofMr. Edward Terry. This was the first time the play had been seen in London for seven years, and its reception gives promise of a successful run, The Lyceum, Haymarket, Adelphi and Gar- rick Theaters will reopen to-day. At the Haymarket Mr. Berbohm Tree will givea special matinee of ‘‘Hamiet.’’ The. Lyceum will reopen with Mr. Henry Irving in ‘‘King Henry VIII.,’’ the Adelphi with ‘*The Trum- pet Call,’’ and the Garrick with ‘‘A Fool’s Paradise,’’ all of which plays have been run- ning at those theaters for some .time past. Mr. Charles Wyndham, manager of the Criterion Theater, has engaged Mrs. Langtry to play ‘‘Suzanne,’’ his English version of Dumas’ ‘*‘Demi Monde.’’ Her role will be that ofa brilliant adventuress, The part was originally created by Mlle. . Rose Cheri, of the Paris Gymnasé; and was later played by Mile. Croigette:of the Comedie Francaise. Mr. Benson’s Shakespeare memorial per- formance will be given at Stratford on Avon, the poet’s birthplace, next week, April 23, 1564, belng generally conceded to have been the date of his birth. Besides ‘‘Julius Ceesar,’’ ‘‘Twelfth Night’? and ‘‘A Midsum- mer Night’s Dream’’ the programme will in- clude ‘‘Timon of Athens,’’ the first time it has been presented in England in a quarter ofaceftury. The last time this play was performed wastwenty-five years ago, when Phelps played it at Sadler’s Wells Theater. Sir Arthur Sullivan, who has been seriously ill in the south of France for some time past, is now announced to be out of danger. It will probably be another week, however, be- fore he will return to London. Upon his ar- rival here it will be decided whether an oper- ation for the renal calculus, from whicn he Is suffering, is necessary: In any event it will be along time before Sir Arthur will be able to complete the néW opera on which he was engaged priorto his illness and which, when it is completed, ila to he produced at the Savoy Theater. 7 Mr. Gilbert, Sir Arthur’ Sullivan’s old partner, has been engaged in a new quarrel with Mr. Horace Sedger, manager of the Lyric Theater, where Mr. Gilbert’s ‘‘The Mountebanks’’ is running... Mr. Gilbert took up the cudgels in behalf -of eight choiresters at the Lyric, who Mr... Sedger, it was said, had dismissed for the sake of economy. Mr. Gilbert asked the Chancery Court to grant an injunction to prevent the dismissal of the cholresters, claiming that their discharge caused a serious alteration in the cast of ‘*The Mountebanks,’’ and was a breach ofthe agreement between himself and Mr. Sedger, which gave him full Coatrol of the stage management. Mr. Sedger argued that as manager he had a right to manage his theater, and that he must be empowered to maintain discipline. It was not true, he said, that the cholresters had been dismissed for economical reasons, Mr. Ivan Carrill, the conductor of the or- chestra, Mr. John H. [llingshead, the. the- atrical manager, supported Mr. Sedger. The Judge declined to grant the injunction asked for by Mr. Gilbert withow other evidence. He gave it as his.opinion that the chorus could not be regarded as a part of the cast. To-day Mr. Gilbert writes that in seeking the injunction that he was only moved by the desire that justice should be done the choir. esters who had spent Many weeks.in rehears- als, for which they had recéived nothing. He also announced that he would pursue the case no further. | From 60,000 to 70,000 Americans have signi- fied their intention of visiting Vienna during the musical and dramatic exhibition to be held there.

Bad Treatment by the Lessees of Convict Labor Saidto Bethe Oause of the Up- rising—The Sheriff of the County Called Upon to Raise a Posse and Sup- press the Rebellion—Tragic Escape of Convicts—Other Crimes. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 16.—Just eighteen mileson a bee line from Clratta- nooga, is the coal mine recently opened by the Chatahoochie Creek CO. Atthe mineare worked 12 convict#of the State of Georgia. The mine is in the very heart of that mountainous country for which the Northern portion of Georgia is famous. The roads are nearly im- passable and wind round and round the end of Lookout Mountain until the summit of the ridge is reached. Early this afternoon it was reported that the convicts had mutinied and that trouble was imminent. The mine people wired Gov. Northern of Georgia for assistance and wired Chatta- nooga for 2,000 rounds of ten- gauge cartridges loaded with buckshot. The new mines are not reached by rail from Chattanooga, and when the news of the meeting came the PostT-DISPATCH corre- spondent at once started in a buggy for the scene. It was 3:15°' when the = start was made, and after a rapid ride miles over the rugged road the place of the trouble was reached. Here the rows of con- vict quarters arose in strong contrast to the rough hills and ugly precipices. Inside the stockades were the 1235 zebras all armed. Some with shot guns gotten from the Lord knows where, some with pistols and the balance with axes and clubs. Outside the houses were ten guards who had been taken by surprise by the con- victs and were uneasily awaiting thearrival of more guards andthe ammunition. When the reporter and his companion arrived on the scene they challenged them as if afraid of some outside succor to the convicts. Mat- ters were adjusted and they told the follow- ing story: For a long while Capt. J. had been in charge of the [ ca and had gained the good will of the entire squad of men, and for some reason or other he was discharged and Tom B. Edgerton was put in his stead, The men did not like the change and on yesterday .. morning complained that they were not well fed or looked after. Their complaints failed to do them any good, and they resolved to rebel against -therule of the objectionable keeper. This they did and they now have full sway over the camp in which they were prisoners yes- terday. To-morrow morning, ‘. latest, the mine officials will sammon the en- * tire force of the camp and storm the stock- ‘ades. The convicts at present show no Signs of giving in, and the attempt will doubtless be fellowéd by bloodshed Sheriff Foster wasin Chattanooga when the ews of the result at the convict camp reached the city. He will secure a posse of ‘citizens and move on the convicts. The people in the neighborhood of the place are very much excited over the affair, and: the country shotgun, with fts long, deadly barrel, is frequently seen on the roadtothecamp. Guards are posted to see that none of the convicts eseape, and unless the Governor orders out the State troops - there is no telling where the matter may end. Late to-night a courier from the convict camp brings the report that several hundred ‘citizens, heavily armed, surrounded the camp and fired One round into the stockade.

The most serious wound was in the left arm, Moré than one hundred men joined in the pursuit of the bandit and the search was kept up for weeks. Several men were ar- rested on suspicion, but finally the capture ofa tramp named James Robets led the au- thorities to belleve they had the right man. He was placed in jailat Ottawa, but it was impossibie to fasten the crime upon him, as Cashier Maples and the friends of Mr. Van- debank failed to identify him as the man who committed the crimes. He was before the Grand-jury, but they failed to indite him. In the meantime, certain facts came to light which pointed to Van Loon as the Ool- umbus Grove criminal and he was arrested on the charge. Court adjourned very unexpectedly to-day. Thetprisoner’s lawyers, Sutton and Delany, having received ne fees refused to proceed with the case. The Court will have to ap- point counsel for Van Loon. TRAGEDY IN A CHURCH. A SPANISH PRIEST KILLED AT THE ALTAR BY AN UNKNOWN MAN. Maprip, April16.—The villagers of Angie- sola, a little town inthe province of Lerida, will long remember the Good Friday of this year. The little church was crowded as usual with devout worshippers and the exer- cises were proceeding with befitting solemn- ity, when suddenly, while Father Marti, the parish priest was kneeling at the altar, and without a word of warning, a man, armed with a revolver and short sword, sprang out from behind the pulpit, to the left of the altar, where he had been con- cealed, and rushed upon the priest, brandjsh- his sword. Father Marti made ineffectual attempt to ward the sword blow he aimed at him, but i[t- was ineffectual. The man bent over his kneeling victimand in an instant the priest lay aead before the altar. The assassin’s blow had struck the back of his neck, and the keen blade almost severed his head from his body. The corpse fell for- ward, anda stream of blood poured down the altar steps.

The Daring Successor of ‘‘Old Hutch” and How He Manipulated the Chicago Grain Market—His Deals in May Wheat—Pen and Ink Sketch of the Little Plunger. CnriIcaco, Ill., April 16.—When December wheat wWas%$ia bushel and May wheat $1.06 and the great mass of professional and out- side traders were talking of $1.50 for May, Pardridge sald, ‘‘Well boys, I believe it will go to 80 cents before it will go to $1.50.’’ It was a case of One man against the markets of the world, for the opinion that higher prices must rule was shared in every market where wheat was traded in as a speculative commodity. It was an up-hill fight. He was called a crank. Friends. volunteered advice. Relatives importuned. The little man listened—and sold more wheat. He never let up selling until it was generally known that he carried 15,000,000 bushels, Other ‘‘‘plungers’’ had carried that much wheat for a day or a week, but Pardridge carried it for months. To-day May wheat closed at 8042 cents. He has paidoffthe $350,000 mort- gaxe and announces that he has $1,200,000 to invest in realestate. Allthis was made in selling May wheat from $1.06 to 80 cents. Millions and millions of bushels were sold by his brokers and on many occasions his short Hne would run as high as 20,000,000 bushels. This meant that a fluctnation of icent upor down in- volved a loss or gain of $200,000. The change of % ofacent meanta lossof $25,000. There are few men who could riska fortune, take the chances involved in atransaction like this and retain their reason. TOOK IT EASY. Yet for weeks and weeks, warned on every side that only disaster could result from these operations, Pardridge moved about the floor of the board and joked with his friends as ifhe had not a care in the world, The nerve of the man commands admiration from even those who do not approve his methods. Nobody knows how much money he has made on this decline and he says himself that he does not know exactly. He has acknowl- edged that he made $1,550,000, Dut the gossips of the Board have it that $2, 000, 000 is about the right sum. In addition to the wheat deal he has played successfully on fhe short side of corn and provisions, and his profits on these side issues are ut all the way from $200,000 to $500,000. Yo one except a green goods man would look at him twice in a crowd. To the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH correspond- ent he thus explained hisilate success: **This is the way I sized it up,’’ he said, re- ferring to the big deal which he’ be- mn some six monthsago. ‘‘I bDelleved that oreigners, in their fear of short crops and famine, had bought a great deal more wheat than they needed. I knew when this was apparent to the trade wheat was just ascertain to godownasthestun. I sold wheat,and on this down turn I traded as I never traded before in my life. As soon as there was the moderate decline, although I knew the price was going lower, I sent my brokers in with orders to buy. Then when the market rallied I sold them all they wanted. That was the way the campaign opened, and instead of having out an enor- mous line, with profits only Ph oe pints, I have managed to have at my disposal plenty of ready money to meet the calls for margins that are ocoasionally made upon me. No man in the speculative world to-day is so well known as the unassuming, dimident, quiet little man whose operations have been the wonder of professional spegulators for the lasttwoyears. * BR. P. Hutchinson, familiarly known as ‘*Old Hutch,’’ once said of Pardridge that he was the nerviest man on the short side of the market who ever traded in grain. This — isnow shared by a large Dp neste of speculators the world over, and wherever is a speculative market for grain the opera- } tions of the Chicago plunger arethe subject of dally comment. WHAT THE PLUNGER LOOKS LIKE. What manner of manisthis who can play with hundreds of thousands as other men piay with dollars? To one who has heard much of Mr. Pardridge there comes a_ feel- ing of disappointment upon seeing him for the first time. He does not dress like a prince, nor has he the manners of a ‘‘high roller.’’ On the contrary, he fs one of the most ordinary ——7 of men; no one would look at him twice in a crowd. His face xives slight indication of his character. He looks as if he might be a fairly well-to-do proprietor of a cross-roads store. ‘There is no particular style about his clothes, his trousers bag slightly at the knees, and are innocent of the crease which fashion pre- scribes forthem. He affects nothing gaudy ia neckwear; a plain Diack ‘‘shoestring tie’’ or soft summer silk tied ina plain bow knot are good enough for him, His most pronounced characteristi¢s—nerve and dogged determination—wouid never be guessed from the guileless expression of his face. He spends mostof histime during the session of the board on the main floor of the Exchange, close to the wheat pit. He always ‘has anywhere from five to a dozen brokers to execute his orders. His principal broker, A. J. Cutler, is always close by his elbow and the others’ are within easy call. A motion of the hand brings them all to his side and his orders are quick- y Ags Frequently he stands on the floor, by a signal starts a dozen or more brokers selling lke mad, or buying, as the situation warrants. He doesn’t act like a man to whom the fluctuation of a quarter of a cent in the market meant the gain or loss of thousands of dollars, and has plenty of time to gossip with his acquaintances, and occasionally leaves the floor for an ex- cursion to the offices on the lower floor. Mr. Pardridge is a native of tho State of New York, and for years was identified with the dry goods business, first in Buffalo, and later, earlier in the’ 70's, at Chicago. As a dry goods merchant he was eminently a suc- cess, a substantial fortune having been built out ‘of his Chicago business, and he was reckoned a wealthy man long before he be an paying attention to the grain market. hi ardridge says that when he started in asa speculator, fifteen years or so ago, he was, like most beginners, a chronic bull. Mr, Pardridge is not far from 60 years old, has a palatial home on Prairie avenue, a charming family, a very large bank account and the supreme satisfaction of Knowing that he has beenright on the market in nearly every case. He ought to be happy. The Globe for Confirmation Suits, SAM SMALL WINS. Minor.

Why He Thinks the Fhiladelphia Boy Is Dead. _The story of young Jim Willet of Blodgett, Mo., and the theory that he is the lost Ohar-~- ley Ross has reawakened interest in the re- markable disappearance of the Philadelphia boy. Among those who got onto the case very early in its history and who did probably as-much work on it. as any individual, was Detective G. E. Ives, now traveling manager of the Thiel’s Detective Agency. Many of the detectives prominent in that case are dead, and itis robable that no man living knows more of ts inside history than ‘Detective Ives. Un- derstanding him to havea tneorythat the Original Charley Ross was absolutely and uneguivacally dead, a PosT-DISPATCH re- porter yesterday afternoon induced him to give his reasons for that conclusion, He talked about as follows: ‘‘Charley Ross wasstolen from German- town by two men—Dolf Mosher and Douglass. was long vbefore PP te knew who they were; mor had been thieves o erating at + an Second streets, Philadelphia, and my recol- lection is that they were given away some of their thief friends. They drove with the boy in a wagon through enton to some iver or ne ee ere ae ointon the Hudson ound and then put him on a boat and began cruising up and down the Hudson and inthe Sound, Then commenced their efforts to induce Ross to = up $20,000 as a ransom for Charley. Ross gan receiving letters from different points stating that the writers had the boy, and suggesting how the father might send tne $20,000 and secare his release. All of these suggestions were acted upon by Ross and his friends, but somehow he always failed to make connection with them. It transpired that a policeman named Wertervelt, on the New York force, was a prother- in law of Mosher and he ‘‘leaked’’ information which his superiors confided to4#bim to ena- ble him to work on the case. Helis supposed, also,to have been working toinveigle Mosher and "Douglas intoa situation where he could pounce upon them and recoverthe child and get all the glory and allthe reward. For his betrayal he was tried and convicted ona charge of conspiracy and ‘‘served time.’’ The hunt for the men and the boy lasted nearly a year, and it is Ives’ opinion that the captors would have been run down soon after the men began their correspondence with Ross but for Wertervelt’s perfidy “Towards the last, a letter came to Ross from somewhere on the Hudson, stating that the boy was very sick and was "likely to die, and unless he sent the money very soon he would Dde to blame for his death. It was a fact not gener- ally known that Charley was subject to a kidney complaint, and oeccasioually a phy- sician with a catheter relieved him. Itis lvyes’ theory thatthe boy was suffering from his a ailment, andasthe men would not dare Ser ak toa doctor, the child necessarily die and they buried him in the woods or sank him in the Sound. Shortly after these two men attempted a yargiary on Judge Van Brunt’s house on Long Island and were surprised in the act and were fired upon. Mosher was killed out- right, but Douglas livedafew minutes, long enough to confess that the two were the cap- tors of Charley Ross. When asked where Charley then was he said he did not Know; that Mosher alone knew. So the secret died with Mosher. THE SOUTHERN FLOODS. Exaggeration of the Loss of . Life, JACKSON, Miss., April 16.—Sheriff Lincoln of Lowndes County is here to-day and from him it is learned that the reported loss of life by the floods in the TombDigbee Valley has been greatly exaggerated, It is now post- tively known that but twenty-three persons were drowned, and the highest esti- mate of loss of life now, including dies re- covered, does not reach over thirty-five With the talk of Government rations negroes came crowding into Columbus,some of whom ned not been within ten miles of the high water.

His name is J, B. For- aker. Ex-Gov. Foraker has beef&/in Colum- bus the winter as an active worker for steam railroads, for street railroads, for electric light companies. telephone companies, in- surance companies and other. corpora- tions. Many lobbyists who come to Columbus now perform their work quietly and decently at their hotels where they meet members and make known their desires. Ex-Gov. Foraker beards the Hon in his den, and the smaller fry look on with admiration, blended with astonishment. One of the first measures On which he came down to the common level of supplicator for legislative favor was ona railroad bill Intro- duced by Senator McColica, which allowed parallel lines of road to consbdli- date. The bill had passed the Senate and was defeated in the House. Some- thing had to be done quickly to saveit. For- aker was calledin. He went to work inthe vim of victory style that has ever character- ized his efforts and which forms his rallying cry in Cincinnati. Taking up his position in the :smoking-room of the ‘House of Repre- sentatives, which is separated from the chamber by a single open door, he sent for member after member, utilizing as his mes- senger, Representative Alf Korte of Cincin- nati, a devoted follower of his. The boys dropped inone byone, and the ex-Governor, would-be President and almost United States Senator, made a person- al appeal to each to vote for the bill. The Cincinnati Water Works billto put in the hands of Foraker’s henchmen the expenditure of from $6,000,000 to $20 ,000 ,000 next came up and was bitterly fought by a respectable delegation of Cincinnatitax payers, who appeared be- fore the Senate Committee aad denounced the measure. Foraker was also there. He waited until all had spoken andthen madea bitter speech, denouncing them as ‘‘grum- blers’’ and ‘‘kickers’’ and hurling ana- themas at the heads of James Glenn, Theo- dore Cook and Thomas McDougal, men known in Cincinnati for their wealth, intelligence and public spirit. ILLINOIS ELECTIONS. SCHOOL TRUSTEES CHOSEN—WOMEN AT THE POLLS, DANVILLE, lll., April 16.—In this city this afternoon occurred the election of President and three members ofthe Board of Educa- tion, and it wasthe first election at which women were allowed to vote underthe new school law of this State. The weather was fine and ladies werein groups on foot, in buggies, carriages, cabs and wagonettes. It was the most exciting con- testih the city. Fromil1o’clock to 6:40 p. m. there were 2,869 votes cast. The issue was against the present administration of schoo's. The farmer ticket was headed by Hon. E. R. E. Kimbrough,oncea member of the Illinols Leg- isiature, and the latter was headed by John D. Benedict, late Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruetion. The result will not be known before morning. T. M. James was elected School Director at Ramsay to-day over Dr. Stoddard, the pres- entincumbent. The issue was anew school building. James favored and Stoddard op posed. The ladies cast fourteen votes. ‘The new school building will go. The election ofa school director at Olney to-day was very exciting on account of the Election Board refusing to allow the tadles to vote. The ladies met at the Congregational Church this morningand from there marched to the polls in twos, 100 strong, and offered their ballots, which were refused on the ground that they had not been registered. A committee took each lady’s name who offered to vote. The indignation became so greatatthe board’s actions, that something had to be done. The board finally told each lady to present an application that she was a legal voter, and they could vote. A. rush was made for affidavits. Four hundred and_ seventy- eight votes were cast. Mrs. Myra B. Rush was defeated by H. M. Spain by thirty-six majority. The action of the board kepta number of the ladies from voting. There is severe criticism at the board’s selection of its judge. The ladies, however, consider that they won a victory in compelling the board to take their bailots, and having them counted. Returns from several precincts show the ladies took but little or no part in the elec- tion for School Trustee in Shelbyville Town- ship. Miss Kate Kutz, the clerk of the board, cast the only female vote. In Ridge Town- —P three candidates wereinthefleld. The ladies turned out in force and@elected George W. Hardy, a popular young farmer, by a small plurality. The school election held at Nokomis to-day resulted in the election of Fred Law as Presi- dent, D. H. Zepp and B. F. Gray members of the Board of Education. ‘Twenty ladies availed themselves of the privileges of the law, and cast their first ballot. For the first time inthe history of Green- field the ladies exercised their right of suf- frage in the election of members of the Board of Education. Two were in the fleld. The patrons, headed by a popular widower, seemed to bethe general favorite with the ladies, that ticket being elected by 178 major- ity. The memberselectedare J. W. Piper, President; members ofthe board, Dr, K Kead, J. W. Ardingerand J. N. Entrekin. The school election held in St. Jacob to- day was the most exciting ever held. The women participated for the first time. Charles Balsign was elected a member of the board. , The school election held at Mascoutah to- day passed off quietly. There was but little interest manifested and a light vote was olied. Theladies did not vote here. A Pres- dent and two members of the Board of Edu- cation were elected. The following officers were chosen: President, Fred Dilg; members = the board, E. R. Hagist and George Eber- in. The school election at Coulterville passed off quietly to-day. One hundred and seventy- three votes were cast, the largest vote ever polled here. ‘The ladies turned out in mass. The candidates were Adam Miller and Martha kh. Leiper. Mrs. Leiper was elected by a large majority ; no politics in it. The ladies took a hand in the school elec- tion heid at Beardstown to-day and fifty-nine of them cast their votes for members of the School Board, Phillip Kuhl was elected Pres- ident without opposition and J.A. Pappmeler and J. J. Stubbs were elected members by small majorities. ; To-day’s school election in Murphysboro is a significant. result of the Woman’s Suffrage lezisiation in Illinois. The Women’s ticket had A. H. Roberts a prominent merchant and ex-School Board mau for president, Mrs, Reeder wife of a popula? deceased ex-county superintendeut of schools. and a Mrs. Dr. Ormsby. Politically there were one Republican and two Democrats. The people’s ticket was made up of less meee tar \ ee one Republican and two mocrats, all men; the women made strenuous efforts, but their ticket was beaten two to one. The People's ticket carried 470 votes, the fomen’s 246 for President of the School Board. The two Directors in the same ratio. The election for School Trustee a week ago resulted similarly —two to one against the women. The women’s organization represented the W. 0. T. U., Woman’s Suffrage and the church. At the school election at Sunmner this af- ternoon there was but one ticket 1 e field, Dr. J. O. McDowell for Presidem, J. W. Westall and H. b. Couchman forf members ofthe Board of Education.. Thef jadies, al- though urged to do. so, did not] put out a t at about 2 ompck. they t the residence of enour Wood others; they showed they were not quite up to the way it was done by handing an open ballot without foldingto the judges. Somé of them seemed undecided whether to vote for H. B. Couchman, one of the can- didates for the Board of Education and asked ether he was for license or not. The dges had fun questioning the unmarried adies as to their ages, some of them answer- +4 sharply: ‘‘What do you want to know or be | There was a lively election in Monticello to- day for President of the Board of Education and two members of the board. ere were three tickets in the field—one contained the names of two ladies for members of the Board of Education. The ladies took an active part, and 103 yoted, but they were divided on their candidates and many voted against the ladies’ ticket and it was defeated. There was 3862 votes polled. Daniel Hall was elected President of the board and W. F. Stevenson and, O. W, Moore members of the board. The ladies voted for the first time and made the election yery interesting. At the school election yester at Venice, for the Venice School District, R.J. Brown was elected School Director, receiving 55 votes to 34 for 8. H. Wooldridge. About a dozen ladies voted, Miss Lillie Snell casting the first ladies’ vote ever cast in Venice. At the school election in District No. 2, the Kinder district, Henry Forsieck and Mark Henson were elected after a warm fight. One of the most hotly contested school elections held in Carlyle for several years was held inthis city to-day. W. H. Clabaugh was chosen President and B. F. Ford and A. E. Ford as directors of the Board of Educa- tion. The women took an active part in the election, about a hundred women casting their ballots. STATE CONVENTIONS. PLACES AND TIMES AT WHICH THEY ARE TO BE HELD. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—In the com- ing contest for the nomination of candidates for the Presidency by the Democrats and Republicans there is not much interest taken inthe action of the various State conven- tions, so far as the Republicans are con- cerned. The ‘renomination of President Harrison is conceded, If the Minneapolis convention were held to-morrow his name in all probability woulda be the only one brought before it. All the earlier candidates have already dropped out, with the exception of Alger, and his boom,never of great dimen- tions, seems to be rapidly @windling. in the Democratic fold the futureis not so clear, though Cleveland sentimentis domi- nant in most States. The probable action of State conventions yet to be held for the selection of delegates to the nominating convention at Chicago is therefore of greater interest than those which name delegates to Minneapolis. So far Democratic conventions have been held in Massachusetts, New York, Nebraska hentucky, Minnesota, North Dakota and Pennsylvania. The following States have yet to hold Dem- ocratic delegate conventions on the dates named: Alabama—Montgomery, June 8. ArkKansas—Little Kock, June 14. Florida—Tampa, June lL.

Tennessee—Nashville, May 26. Vermont—Montpelier, May 5. In New York;-the delegates already elected by the regular Democratic Convention are solidly for Hill. The convention named in the table to meet on May 31 1s anti-Hill. If delegates are selected by it they will favor Clevelanda’s nomination, and contest the seats of the Hill men at Chicago. The delegates elected in other States gen- erally favor Cleveland, though Kentucky will cast its first ballot for Jonn G. Carlisle. Iowa will instruct for Gov. Boles and Illinois will name Palmer as tts choice. The other States will be divided be- tween Hill and Cleveland. ‘ The following conventions have been called by the Republicans in the States named: Alabama—Montgomery, April 20.

FLOODED WITH CIRCULARS DE- NOUNCING FILLEY. CARTHAGE, Mo., April 16.—During the past few days the city has been flooded with docu- ments from Republican headquarters (Silk Stockings) showing the dangertothe party in giving heed to the advice of ‘*Stand up for Missouri,’’ under the leadership of Chauncey I. Filley. The open letter by Senator McGinnis, written in 1881 to Postmaster-General James, setting forth the successful career of Filley asa ‘*bleeder’’ of all aspirants for offices within the gift ofthe administration, Is given spe- cial prominence. Itis supposed thatthe ap- pearance in the Kansas City Journal of last Sunday of Filley’s illustrated eulogy is the cause of the present bitter activity of his opponents. In this city there isa division of opinion asto Filley’s worth; some assert heisthe only capable man to lead the party to victory in this State, while others denounce him asa traitor, who was always ready to sell outthe party ata price for personal uses. The Republican campaign inthis country bids fair to be full of ‘‘har- mony’’ from now until November. The above mentioned circulars are belong kept under lock and key for future use. POLITICAL DRIFT, CARTHAGE HARRISON IN THE LEAD IN SARATOGA—OVER THE FIELD. SARATOGA, N. Y., April 16.—In the Saratoga County Second Assembly District Convention to-day tochoose delegates to Congressional and State conventions a _ resolution was moved indorsing the Harrison administra- tion. A ‘‘Jim Biaine’’ amendment was offered but was not seconded. The Harrison resolution prevailed in a chilly sort of ag ond | man- ner, but elicited no enthusiasm. The Repub- licans of the First District met at Ballston Spa to-day and elected delegates tothe State convention who were instructed to support Platt, Miller, Hiscock and Depew as delegates to Chicago. is ar MORE ‘‘HARMONY.’’ LOUISIANA, Mo., April 16.—The great mass convention of Pike County Republicans ad- vertised to meet at Bowling Green to-day to select delegates to the State and Congres- sional Conventions falled to materialize, and the siimmest attendance in several years went through the work of elect- ing delegates. It was a cut and dried affairand did not even have the semblance of a mass-meeting. The following were the delegates name@by ‘‘de push’’ for the State convention and were especially selected with a view of seconding any motion of Matt Rey- nolds to down ‘‘de old man,’’ to-wit: D. s. Flagg, H. 5. Carroll, Col. G. A. Buffam, Thos. M. Carroll, Col. W. H. Edgar, Dr. 8. J. Reynolds, Matt’s father; J. W. Hendrick, Thos. Savage and William Keith. The following were listed for the Congressional Convention at Mexico, to-wit: Judge Foxg, J. D. Bowman, W. H. Purse, Horace McLeod, C. P. Covington, Dr. S.J. Reynolds, J. W. Hendricks, Thomas Savage and William Keith, who are .also ex- ected to vote for anti-Filley delegates to the jinneapolis Convention. The Republican harmony in Pike County is astonishing.

ToRONTO, Ontario, April .17.—Hon.. Alex- ander Mackenzie, ex-Premier of Canada, died at 12:40 this morning. Alexander Mackenzie was bornin Perth- shire, Scotland, on Jan. 28, 1822. His father was architect and contractor and in- tended his son to follow thesome vocation. The lad acquired a common school educa- tion, but was not content with that. he con- tinued his studies at the old cathedral city of Du nkeld and Perth. In 1842h e emigrated to Canada, settling in Kingston, Ontario, the home there of a trio of men who have like- wise distinguished themselves in Candian politics. Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Alex- ander Campbell, and Hon. Oliver Mowatt. After a short time Mr. MacKenzie removed to Sarnia, Ontario, and set up in business as acontractor. Later, in 1852, he was editor of the Lampton Shield and was elected to Parlia- ment in 1861 from Lampton County. From 1867 to 1573 he was the leader of the reform party in the House of Commons, and whenthe Pacific Railway scandals in No- vember, 1873, forced Sir John MacDonald to resign, the Libral leader was called upon to form anew ministry. Parliament was dissolved and in the elec- tions of 1874the new Government was sus- tained by a large majority. The Conserva- tives then began their famous campaign fora ‘*national policy’’ and higher duties upon imports, and upon this issue in the general elections of August, 1878, the Liberal Govern- ment was defeated and Sir’ John MacDonald returned to power. Mr. MacKenzie continued at the head oi his party for a few years more and then retired. ‘ihe dead statesman was regarded generally as one of the ablestand most upright of the many political leaders in Canadian history -and during hts long iliness was the object of widespread sympathy. A SERIOUS FRIENDLY TUSSLE. Run Down by a Train—Shot by His Own Winchester. NASSAU, New Brunswick, April 16.—On April 4the Nassau schooner Rebecca, while on a missionary tour with Rev. Father Paul, oO. S. B., of Minnesota and Rev. Father Schreiner of Nassau, Roman Catholic mis- sionaries, on board, struck some sunken reefs near Conception Island at 10 p. m., Aprilll. The vessel was badly damaged and in lessthan five minutes after striking the reefs she foundered, The two priests, with the crew of six men, took toa small boat, in which they remained all night. When day- light appeared the shipwrecked men eagerly scanned the horizon for the purpose of dis- covering their position. After rowing for several hours they at last sighted land and at Ya.m. they reached an uninhabited island. Here they found water and some crabs and other shell fish. The little party were forced to make their meals from this scanty fare having left the sinking vessel in such haste that they were unable to take any provisions along with them. .They remained on the lonely island for twenty- seven hours, when they succeeded in at- tracting the attention of the crew ofa pass- ing sponge vessel who sent a boat ashore and took the party off. It wasa rough ex- perience for them and was attended with much hardship and danger. The vessel went to the bottom so quickly that those on board were unable to save anything except the garments they woreatthe time of the ac- cident: » 1891, is @ left lun his sputum.

That the slave-driver’slash is about the poorest means of disciplining children and molding their characters to the highest moral development has been demonstrated in thousands of well-ordered families. The parents who.are willing to trast the use of the rod upon their children to the discretion or forbearance of any taskmas- ter or much-worried teacher are much fewer than they were a generation ago, and the percentage of such parents is rap- idly decreasing every year. A knowledge of this fact and of the parental proteste and published remon- strances sure to follow a large proportion of the floggings in school, should, and probably does, @¢perate as a check upon the free use of the rod in the public schools. But any use of it at all necessarily implies more or less abuse of it, and the teachers least likely to misuse it are the very ones who are least likely to use at all the de- grading implements of torture and terror- ism to train rational beings as they would dogs or caged beasts. A mother who easily controls her child at home without whipping naturally and justly regards the whipping of that child at school asacruel and unusual punish- ment. When she hears Of children dying or **going to the bad’’ after a severe pun- ishment at school itis difficult to satisfy i i. »- —_ bal cause but the whipping, and there are enough such mothers in thiscity to write more letters for the Post-DisPATCH ‘*Forum’’ inone day than we can find room for in a week. But there is to this question another side which these mothers overlook. It is far easier for parents to control their own little brood at home without whipping, than for a teacher in the course of one year to acquire a parent’s moral influence over an over-crowded room full of other peo- ple’s children, some made unruly by bad training at home and many inclined to re- gard school tasks and school discipline as an imposition to be met with evasive strategy or dogged resistance. There are teachers who can take a rea- sonable number of such pupils and by purely moral means soon place them all under the control of her better impulses far more potent than fear of therod. But such teachers are rare masters of their art and our public school system is at present necessarily organized and operated under conditions inconsistent with the highest and most effective methods of teach- ing. Thatis to say, they are organized and operated upon the theory that so long as the rod is used in a large proportion of our homes, its use in every room of our city schools will be occasionally indispensable. Each teacher is given an excessive number of pupils, and, with little or no oppor- tunity to study them or teach them indi: vidually, is required to enforce certain rules of order and to drive them over a prescribed course of study within a pre- scribed time, by all the means at her com- mand, including a free use of corporal punishments, with no rewarde 2t all but such as the parents at home may assist the teacher withal. . The Post-DISPATCH would subscribe liberally toa public fundto provide an- nual prizes for teachers making a record of good class work without the aid of the rod. Every teacher who depends chiefly onit should be dropped from the rolls as unfitted for the calling. But good family training must become more universal than it now is before wecan entirely eliminate the old fashioned flogging from the disci- pline of the public schools. ee - pe . ——C5V— THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

There was a pause tn the conversation as if both felt that these questions cowld never be fully and completely amswered on this side of the dark curtain that hides so much from mortai ken. Then Whitman's right hand found its way, slowly and feebly, into his pocket and drew out a well-worn Dit. of paper. ‘‘This poem,’’ he said, ‘*‘isa transla- tion of mine fromthe French of Henri Mur- ger. I’Ilreaditto you.’’ Andin clear, but faltering voice he read this: THE MIDNIGHT VISITOR. ** Whose steps are those? Who comes so late?’’ **Let me come in, the door unlock. '’ **Tis midnight now—my lonely gate I open to no stranger’s knock. ‘“Whoartthou? Speak!’’ ‘**‘Men call me Fame, To immortality I lead.’’ **Pass, idle phantom of a name.’’ **Listen again, and now take heed, ** "T'was false. My names are Song, Love, Art. My poet, now unbar the door.’’ **Art’s dead, Song cannot touch my heart, My once love’s name I ¢hant no,more,’’ **Open then now, for. see I stand-— Riches. my name, with endless cold; Gold, and your wish in either hand.’’ **Too late—my YOUTH you still withhold.’ **Then, if it must be, since the door Stands shut, my last true name to know, Men cailme Death.

Certain persons in- terested in the lady who cameso near being our primeval maternal ancestor, have in- quired what possible basis there can be for the strange story of the first matrim onial ad- venture of our primeval paternal ancestor. Such seekers after knowledge will please take their Bibles and read Genesis 1., 27: ‘‘So God created man in hisown image,in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.’’ Then read Genesis iil., 21,22: ‘**And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rid, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her to the man.’’ Are these two different accounts of the same event? or were there two women inthe case? Ancient rab- binical authorities hold the latter opinion— hence the tradition of the first wife. The Hebrew word Lil, from which the name Lilith ts derived, means ‘‘night.’* It occurs in the Bible but once—Isaiah xxxiv., 4— where, in the Authorized Verson, it ts trans- lated ‘‘screech-owl;’’ in the Revised Ver- Sion, ‘‘the nigbt monster;’’ in the Vulgate, ‘*Lamia,’’ and in Lutber’s Bible, ‘*Kobold,’’ or goblin, ghost or night spectre. According to some authorities Lilith, after her second marriage, became the mother of Leviathan, Asmodeus and all the otber most celebrated and aristocratic devils. Our well known friend, Mephistopheles, is thought to have bad Lilith in his mind when he warns Faust against the beautiful witch who appears in the Walpurgis-night orgies. Dante Rosetti addresses her in these lines: The rose and poppy are lier flowers; for where Is he not found, O Lilith, whom shed scent And soft-shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare? Lo! as that youth’s eyes burned at thine, so went Thy spell through him and left his straight peck bent, And round his heart one strangling golden hair. There died two or three weeks ago, at Hyeres, Pranae, Loults Cartigny, aged 101 years—the last French survivor of the battle of Trafalgar, fought Oct. 21, 1805. As Car- tigny was only 14 then, he must have been ‘‘a powder-monkey,’’ or servant boy for some officer. Ithink there are one or two English survivors of the great battle which gave to England the unquestioned supremacy of the seas; not for that generation only, but ever since—a supremacy which shows no signs of decay, and which she Knows how to main- tain. The man who lIiterally ‘‘died in the arms of victory’’ at Trafalgar (his flagship, still jealously preserved, bearsthe name of **Victory’’) is to-day the favorite English hero—with no rivalinthe Engiish heart. At the most tnteresting Naval Exhibition in Lon- don last summer, the Nelson relics—of which there were a large number—attracted more people than all the other curiosities com- bined. In my twovisitsl was never alone at the cases which contained them. There, aimong precious souvenirs of the great sailor the most precious of all—was the coat he wore on that fatal day, with a part of the left shoulder epaulette torn away by the bullet which killed him; there was the white waist- coat half covered with the rusty stain of what was once Nelson’s heart’s blood; and there was the bullet itself, with some of the gold bullion of the epaulette driven intoit. And there, to me the most touching of all, was his last, and unfinished, letter to Lady Hamilton, with this indorsement by her. hand: ‘‘Found on his desk, and brought to Lady Hamilton by Capt. Hardy. O miserable and wretched Emma! O happy and glorious Nelson!’’ Sydney Smith once deciared that ‘‘nothing less than a surgical operationis required to get a joke into the head of a Scotchman.’’ I think his own countrymen are nearly as bad. Here is an illustration: At one of our fashion- able resorts last sammer a gentleman told this story to a numberof people sitting on the verandah, among whom was an English- man. He said he was dining at acountry hotel in Vermont wheré the bill of fare Is given to the guests viva.voce by girl waiters, When dessert time’arrived the waitress said to his next neighbor: ‘*‘Appte pie, peach pie, mince pie, pumpkin pie, grape ple and custard pie.’’ The man pondered a moment, and then replied:"‘‘Well, you may bring me some apple ple, peach pile, mince pie, pump- kin pie and grape pie.’’ ‘‘But what is the matter with the custard?’’ inquired the girl. Of course there was a gen- eral laugh in the audience, inwhich the En- glishman heartily joined, Meeting the nar- rator a short time after, he said: ‘*That was a good story of yours, don’t think I ever heard a better; but really, would you mind telling me what was the matter with the cus- tard?’’ ' Here is another, which came under my per- sonal observation: A hungry young Amert!i- can on the landing stage at Liverpool was appeasing his stomach at the Duffet with tea and cocoanut cake—all there was left. An Englishman came up and asked for some- thing. The woman toid him everything was gone except the tea and cake, and the Amer- ican youth remarked: ‘‘Yes, it’s @uck or no dinner.’’ ‘‘Ah, yes,’’ replied Cousin Bull, looking all around the board, ‘‘but where is the duck?’’ How Sydney Smith, one of the rarest and quickest wits that ever lived, would have enjoyed these anecdotes of Brit- ish dullness!

A A Woman’s Honor the Price of Her Situation. TESTIMONY OF MRS. CADDIE L. WRIGHT BEFORE THE COMMITTEE. A Request Will Be Made to Discharge the Guilty Bureau Chief-Monay for Ola Soldiers—Navy Appropriations Discussed in the House—Congressional Proceedings—Washington News and Personal Notes. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—The special committee of the House charged with inves- tigating the present Pension Office adminis- tration continued its investigation to-day. Mr. McOullough, a Pensfon Office clerk, test!- fied that it was a notable fact in the Pension Office that John Kaum, the pension attorney. large numher of cases advanced to the coni- pleted files. John Peyton,a Pension Office clerk, declared that he had been discharged for offensive partisanshfp without having an opportunity to defend himself, notwith- standing Seeretary Chandler’s testimony that he invariably gave hearings in such cases. Mrs. Caddie L. Wright, the first female witness in the investigation, was put upon the stand to-day. Owing tothe character of the matter about which she was to testify the committee decided to take her testimony in secret session. The PostT-DISPATCH Cor- respondent, however, was abdleto securea stenographic copy of her exantination. Mrs. Wright has been employed for several years asa copyistin the Record Division of the Pension Office. She testified that she had been subjected to insults and persecution at the hands of Assistant Chief Ford because of her refusal to comply with an improper request. She gave her evidence reluctantly and in a manner that convinced the committee that Ford’s denial of her tes- timony, which he anticipated when on the standa few days ago, was valueless. She told her story simply and directly: ‘*As I was going home from the office one evening,’’ she said, ‘‘after I had been in the bureau about a month, I met Mr. Ford at the corner of F and Eighth streets. I donot know whether he was there to walt for me or not, but as I approached he stepped up to me and said, ‘Mrs. Wright, can I speak to you?’ and I said, ‘Why, yes.’ Hesaid: ‘Well, you walk down this street,’ indicating Eighth street, and we walked down past the Post-office Depart- ment. After we had been walking fora few minutes he said: ‘Now, Mrs. Wright, lama married man and you have been a married woman. I want to beafriendto you. May I?’ Isaid: ‘Why, Mr. Ford, I donot think I understand you.’ He said with emphasis: *Yes you do understand me, Mrs. Wright, ’and he repeated the sentence several times. As we walked down Eighth street I saw we Were nearing a bad neighborhood filled with sta- bles and I stopped. Just then I saw Mr. Donahue, the Chief of my section in the Pension Bureau, walking along the street. Mr. Ford saw him and turning to me quickly sald: ‘Don’t tell Donahue what I said to you.’ I bade them both good evening, and turning back went straight home. ‘*Since that time,’’ continued the witness, ‘‘Mr. Ford has not spoken to me, ex- cept to give me orders in a rude manner. He has treated me with great discourtesy, and, I may say, with insolence. On one occasion he sent for metocome up to his desk, and, ina loud voice to be heard all over the room, ex- claimed: ‘You report to the chief clerk.’ Then turning to the messenger fn thesection, he said: ‘Tell the chief clerk this is the person that I sent him.’ ’’ Under cross-examination, Mrs. Wright testified that she had told Mr. Landon, another assistant chief of her division, about Ford’s insults because she sgaw that she had incurred Ford’s enmity. ‘‘Il did it to protect myself,’’ she said,‘‘Secause Mr. Ford treated me insolently and I did not know what might come up.’’ In reply toa question by Mr. Dungan Mrs. Wright sald that she believed Mr. Ford’s treatment of her was meant to Indicate that he resented her refusal tocomply with his request. U pon the conclusion of Mrs. Wright’s testi- mony the committee opened the doors. resohition will be offered in the committee requesting Secretary Noble to dismiss Ford as a person totally unfit to have charge of em- ployes, either male or female, NAVY APPROPRIATIONS. GREAT DAY FOR THE AMERICAN EAGLE. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—It wasa great day for the American eagle in the House, The new navy found champions on both sides, Demvucratic and Republican orators alike|praising its development. The New York members, Col. Fellows and Mr. Cummings, made earnest speeches in favor of appropria- tions to carry on the work. Col. Fellows made a strong impression, and was fre- quently applauded on both sides of the cham- ber. When he declared that he favored a naval power adequate to preserve every star with its luster undimmed,there were patriotic outbursts of applause on the floor and in the galleries. Mr. Cummings took the same strain, and said there was no more popular national institution than the new navy, and he deciared that the work of its development shouid not be retarded fora moment. He said he was going tovote for Mr. Boutelle’s amendment providing for two crulsers and ten torpedo boats. If that was voted down he weuld offer another amendment providing for half the number, This was nota political question. Henry Cabot Lodge also made an earnest plea for the navy. He said it was no partisan question; it wasan American question. It concerne not the party alone, but the whole country. The debate to-day was opened by Mr. Hol- man, who attacked the bill. He declared that such a large expenditure of money could not be justified at this time, IT WAS A CONGRESSIONAL, DISCUSSING THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL— HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. WasHINGTON, D.

Page should be done with the question under discussion their names, thank God, would live forever. Applause. We shoulda never delude ourselves with the hope that we shallever beat peace with the nations of the earth. If ever we come to war it will be upon the water. The United States had bie s few ships that could stand in their ace with the American flag above them and ght for the honor of the American republic. No party could afford to go before the people on an issue of navy ornonavy. This was one side to the question. For every dollar spent upon the navy now $10,000,000 would be saved in the future.

Such a nomi- nation, if made, simply means the loss, not only of the Mayoralty, but of all the city of- fices and the Assembly. We have had so many instances of this kind of thing itn the past that it is plain to every common-sense voter that the people will not vote Into exec- utive power a man they can neither respect nor trust. All the hoodlums and bummers in St. Louis will combine, will conspire and combine in vain to bring about that result. March 9, 1889. ; The element that supports Noonanis the element that supports Slattery. Ifit can’t get Noonan from the Democrats, it will be satisfied with Slattery from the Republicans. The nomination of either will express the determination of the dive bossestorun the town. March 10, 18869. The candidate of the Court of Criminal Corruption phalanx has a record the ex- posure of which would pilean adverse ma- jority of 20,000 on any ticket he represented in St. Louis. March 21, 1889. The Democrats of this town are not going to nominate any man for Mayor whois in constant danger of finding a nestof snakes tn his boots, March 23, 1889. If the Democrats of the town allow the party locally to be identified with the Court of Criminal Corruption there will not be chioral and bromide of potash enough in the country to alleviate the ‘‘Katzenjammer’’ that will result from the debauch, March 24, 1889. We do not believe that Noonan ought to be nominated, ani we do Dbelleve that if he is nominated he surely will be beaten. * * * His portraits hang inall the low ‘‘dives’’ in the city, and he has distinctly and contin- ually aimed to conciliate that par- ticular class. He is a man i with- out ability or experience, bis associates are in a high degree objectionable and his whole scheme of politics is Dased on the idea that the wildand reckless can out- witand outvote allthe decent elements of society. He is a demagogue of the clearest water, ana the very audacity of his candi- dacy in the face of the facts against him ilius- trates its character. It would be a very great misfortune if sucha man could be put into the position of Mayor by the votes of the people, but we do not Delleve it possible. * * * He is nota fit man forthe place and his name should not appear on the Demo- cratic ticket. To putit there Is to invite and deserve defeat, and the fact is clear to every sensible Democrat in the city. Poor Farmer Dalton. From the Glasiow Missourian (Dem. ) Poor Farmer Dalton!

Young Lee's HEALTH ,AND SPIRITS BROKEN BY THE Y TREATMENT. \. en His Sinan Ascribe His Condition Solely to the Bi- Chloride Cure—His Account ofthe Effects of the Treatment Upon Himself—A French Physician’s Opinion on the New System. Last hight Heary Lee, the nephewof Gov. Fitzhugh Lee of Virginia, -who attempted suicide at the Hotel Barnum on Fri- day, had recovered to a consid- erable extent from the effects .of the self-administered dose of laudanum, but wags estiiiinanervous and exhausted condi- tion. The true story of the cause of the rash act come out yesterday. Mr. Lee’s friends ascribe his condition, which led to his desire to commit suicide, to his having been treated for the liquor habit by the Keeley process. BICLORIDE RESPONSIBLE. Mr. George Townsend, to whose efforts hts escape from death is due, said: ‘‘I have not the slightest doubt that the Keeley treat- mentig responsible for my friend’s attempt at suicide. Since he went to the Keeley Inst!- tute at Leavenworth, he has never been the same man. He has been moody and des- pondent, his memory has been most defec- tive, he has been.a bundle of nerves, and has evidently had something on his mind. Before he went to the Keeley Insti- tute there was no man less likely to commit suicide. Thatthe cure is often no cure Is roved by the fact that he was discharged rom ___ the Blair Institute as cured, afterwards found it neces- sary to g0 to Leavenworth. He got the potson on Friday afternoon, and had tin his pocket when he went to the bail game with me. He was very low-spirited, and several times remarked ashe had done on previous occasions, ‘‘ican never be a man again.’’ It was brooding over this that led him totake the laudahum,. The Keeley cure, and nothing else, is responsible.’’ HENRY LEE’S STORY. Mr. Lee was seen in his room at the hotel. ‘*What was the effect of the Keeley treat- ment upon you?’’ -was asked, ‘‘Did it cure the appetite for GrInk?’’ ‘ **Not in my case. I have been to the Keeley Institute twice. As to its effect,I can say that have never felt well since I left Leaven- worth, and that was on the 27th of last December. I have nocorntrol over my nerves and my memory is almost gone. Often I can- not remember a name for five minutes.’’ THB EFFECT OF BICHLORIDE, ‘*Were you in this condition before you tried the treatment?’ ‘*Iwas not. I felt far worse after I left than I ‘had ever done before. I certain! never dreamt of committing suicide before Was treated. Just why I madé the attempt I really cannot say. I certainly have not been the same man sincel left Leavenworth. My appetite is gone, and my nervous system has been completely upset. Perhaps the treatment given me might have done another man good. It struck methat there was too little discrimination exercised be- tween patients. A man of nervous temperament, who occasionally goes on sprees, is given the same dose that isad- ministered toa heavy, muscular man who has been soaked in liquor for years. I donot wish tocondemnthe treatment but it cer- tainly did not answer in my €ase.’’ Mr. Lee will leave for his home on Monday. M, PAUL OF PARIS. AN EMINENT FRENCH PHYSICIAN SPEAKS SCEP TICALLY OF KEELEY. Bpecial Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH, Paris, April 2.—M. Constantine Paul, in a paper upon polsons and kindred subjects, says of the Keeley cure for alcoholism: Everyone in America is speaking of a method of treating the alcohol habit, which is all the rage and which seems sometimies to drive crazy those whom it wishes to break of the immoderate use of alcohol. This is the celebrated Keeley method, based on the use of subcutaneous — of bi-chioride of gold, combined with morphine. This method has become immensely popular, as certain celebrated drinkers treated by it gave up their little weakness. In Europe, how- ever, it has been lookedat with sceptical eyes, and for the following reasons: Bichloride of gold prodaces in healthy per- sons a series of nervous troubles, which can be best characterized by the term gold ebriety ; that is to say, cerebral stimulation, with intellectual disorders which are some- times quite serious. On the other hand, atropine, even in small doses, may cause cerebral trouble with hallucinations, which have been termed belladonna ebriety. It ems a curious method totry and cure alco- olic ebriety by substituting in its place two different forms of ebriety or, in other terms, of poisoning, This is the case if ever, to quote the saying of a very sceptical old phy- sician who lived at the beginning of this cen- tury: ‘‘Itis hard .to realize what power of resistance some patients have for drugs,’’ as it is evident that Keeley’s method has cured a number of drinkers. Why did they recover? Not on account of the treatment, but in spite of it; further- more, there seems little doubt that sugges- tion has played a part in their recovery, ‘ihis hy pothesis becomes very plausible when we read of the miracles which the method works. Does this mean that the remedy of alcohol- ism will never be found? By no means, but it has not yet been found. It must be sought for in improving the patient’s moral condi- tion, In the use of tonics or well directed hydro-therapeutics, in regulating the nerv- ous action, inthe administration of oxide of inc, and of opium sometimes, and particu- arly in close attention tothe stomach. Iam inclined to think that many cases of alcohol- ism have their origin ina bad condition of the digestive tract. ina TEE GOLD CURE COMPANY Extends a cordial invitation to those who may be distrustful of the methods of their treatment for the so-called whisky habit, and the efficacy of their cure, to call at their rooms, 2021 Olive street,and satisfy them- selves from personal investigation. AN & OF V. SCANDAL. Berious Charges Against a Lexington (Mo.) Camp Official. LEXINGTON, Mo., April 16.—Lieut. Hedrick of Odessa, mustering officer of Missouri Division Sons of Veterans, has been ordered here to investigate the affairs of Col. John McNulta Oamp of this city. When the camp was organized three months ago; the charter fee, $15, was placed in the hands of First Sergt. Murphy, who, itis alleged, appropriated it tohis own uses. When that amount was finally refunded a new Sergeant was chosen and he sent his check for $15 to Col. B. F. Frauenthal of St. Louis, commanding the Missour! Division. Frauenthal collect- ed the oheck through a &8t. Loufs Dank, but when it was returned to the Lexington bank on which it was drawn, the cashier refused tocashit, as the Sergeant had no money deposited and had but recently failed in business. He has agreed to make good the amount of the short- age. Hedrick has the charter of McNulta Camp, but will not muster the camp until those financial crooked places are made straight. : CHEAPER THAN ANTHRACITE For stove, grate and furnace, PITTSBURGH CRUSHED OOKE, DEVOY & FEUERBORN, Sole Agents, 704 Pine atreet.

CHICAGO, IJl., April 17.—The most impor- tant railroad now building tn the United States isthe branch to connect the Atchi- son with New Orleans at Conroes, The track is being laid under an agreement with the Atchison by Charles M, Putnam of Boston. he distance between Conroes and New Orleans is 289 miles. Mr. Putnam has the contract for the first eighty miles. To-day he received word that bonds for this distance had been floated and that there would be no trouble in disposing of enough to complete the line. Traffic Manager Hanley of the Atchison has figured that his Mune sends enough grain via st. Louis and Memphis to New Orleans to pay all operating expenses of the new line. This and more will be diverted by Conroes when the Texas, Louisiana & Easternis completed, as it will be the short line from the trans-Mis- souri territory to New Orleans, and will give the Atchison a much longer haul. The new line is much harder to capitalize than the one from Mojave to San Francisco. The comple- tion of both would make the Atchison over 200 miles shorter than the southern Pacific between New Orleans and San Francisco. ECONOMY COAL. Exclusively for family use; try it.

New Yorxk, April 16.—The Historical Art Association is making extraordinary paepar- ations for an exhibition at Chicago next year of the progress of the painting since the earliest days of America’sexistence. Among the incorporators of the recently formed or- ganization are George W. Childs, Chauncey M. Depew, Andrew Carnegie, President Seth Low of Columbia Collegeand ex-Senator Wm. M. Evarts. The association has already secured the agen ge Building in Chicago and immedi- ate steps will be made to put itin shape, In the heart of the city will be erected two gal- leries. The structure for the exhibition of painting by the old masters is circular in shape. The main part, however, is to be of brick and stone of classic architecture with a front taken from the design of the White House at Washington. A syndicate of capitalists worth over $20,- 000,000 has already placed $300,000 at the com- mand of the association. The enterprise is backed by menwho realize that the art dl- rectors of the World’s Fair have made a great blunder in not providing space for Amer- ican artists. TORTURING ECZEMA. Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In sufferable liching and Pain by the Cuticura Remedies. No Less Than Five Physicians Con- sulted. Their Combined Wisdom Followed Without Benefit. Iam 66 years old. In August, 1889, was troubled with the peculiar skin disease to which people of my age are subject, known among medical men as eczema. Its tirst appearance was near the ankles. It rapidly extended over the lower extremities until my legs were nearly one raw sore; from Icgs the trouble extended acrossthe hips, shoulders and the entire length of the drms, the legs and arms greatly swollen with an itching, burning pain. without cessation. Although the best medical advice attainable was employed, no less than five physicians of the place being’ § con- sulted and the prescriptions being the result of their combined wisdom, the disease, though apparently checked, would recur inafew days as bad as ever; durihg its progress my weight fell away about twenty-five pounds.

Jockey McGhee Dangerously Injured and the Colt Brennan Killed at Mem- phis —The Weights .For the Fair Grounds Inaugural Handicap — Row Between Guttenburg and the Board of Control. A splendid crowd took advantage of the beautiful weather that prevailed yesterday afternoon and journeyed over to the East Bt. Louis Jockey Club course. It was a first- Class betting throng and the ‘‘bookies’’ did a’ rushing business from the start. Taken as a avhole it was a very profitable afternoon for the ‘‘chalkers,’’ as omly two favorites were successful. The opening event was the usual scramble for maidens overa nine-sixteenths of a mile course. Out of a field of eight dogs Iris was made the favorite, starting out at 4 to 5 and closing at even money. Lou Rodgers however was consistentiy backed at 3 to2 and Little Phil haa a few admirers who placed their money on the Diack son of King Alfonso at6tol: The rest of the fleld were quoted all the way from 10to 30. Murphy was in front with McDearmon when the flag fell. Tou Rodgers moved up, passing the stand and taking the lead with Brook Trout @ close second. At the turn tothe stretch the mare was still infront, but Little Phil came through like a cyclone in the stretch, and overhauling both Lou Rodgers and Brook Trout, finished first by afulllength. Lou Rodgers was the same distance in front of Brook Trout. A five-eighths ofa mile dash followed for which Bob Francis was made the favorite. He went tothe post sellingat 8 to 6, Stanley was the seconG choice at 6 to 2, and Primero had a humber of.backersatétol. The rest of the fleld were quoted at from & to 90to1. Utah was in front When the flag dropped, but gave way at -the- quarter to Ossa, who relinquished the leadership to Oannon Ball Ll. in the turn into the stretch. In the stretch, however,Jockey English pulled Ossa together ‘and a hammer agd tongs finish ensued, Cannon Ball Il. winning by a head. Dan Honig was made the favorite for the next event, a three-quarter-mile_ sell- ing affair, starting out at 7 and clos- ing at 5 to 2. Carnegie, how- ever, was the tip and was strongly played: at ¢4tol. Pick Up and Sanford both gold at 5 tol, and from 10 to 30 could be had against the rest of the field. Oarnegie was in front when the fiag fell, closely pursued by Dan Honig. Nochange took place in the pro- cession until within a few trundred feet of the finish, when Carnegie sprung a tendon in one ot his hind legs and pulled up immediately. Dan Honig then passed on and won handily by alength. Brown. Button was.a. neck. in front of Pickup. The big event of the day followed. It was the Easter handicap race; gm number of good ones, -inciuding Nathan Wrank, who was especially prepared, for the event, wenttothe post. Clifton was made tthe favorite at the start, being quoted 2 tol, from which he was backed) down to even money. Nathan Frank wag second mhoice at5toland Defendant and OQakview Nad plenty of admirers. who. placed their gnoney on their favorites at 6 to 1. | Happy Day was plunged on fora show at 2 |tol and dn all probability carried as- much njoney as ‘any horse who went to the post The rest of tthe field could be had from 8 to 20 to} 1, Col. Ohinn effected a splendid start with Happy Pay slightly infront. Mamie S., hpwever, passed up at the quarter and to the ajstonish- (ment of everyone present went to the front and set @ pace that killed everything else in ‘tthe race. Happy Day, after passing |Clifton, was in turn outrun by Oakview, who led the rocession that cantered in after Mamie 8. he latter recorded the fastest time for the distance, 1:02%, ever made; at the course. Poteen was selected to! do the ‘trick in the last event and was backed quite %consistently at8to5. Had it not beep for the fact that the horse was known to be /weak in the fore legs he would have been quoted at rohibitive odds. A large number ofthe nowing ones, while admi ting him to be the best horse, were afraid of him breaking down,and ‘placed their money on Jubilee,who closed at2tol. Therestof the fleld were uoted at from 8 to 2: to 4. exas Girl wasin front when the flag fell ‘and staid there until the procession was passing the stand, when Claymore pushed up and taking the leadership continued jin front until the backstretch was reached, when the favorite, whouptothis time wias run- ming under a strong pull, went to the front and won hands down.

Pittspurg defeated St. Louis in the pres- ence of 8,500 people yesterday afternoon ina rather uninteresting contest.

After the sixthinning Pittsburg loafed along taking things rather easy, while the Browns changed pitchers twice, and catchers once withont ava tll, Dwyer, Gleason and Easton all hada try at it, and even Caruthers crashed an inning. In the eighth Buckley, whohad played good ball all the way through, was changed for Bird. Brodie made an errorin the second which filed the bases, and started the tide the wrong way. Thenafewof the Browns fell over the balland made things worse. Beck- ley was back on first for the visitors and this appeared to give them confidence. The Browns started out well.

Louis public to-day at Sportsman’s Park, in their first championship game against the St. Louls Browns. Comiskey, Latham, O’Neill, Chamberlain and Tony Mullane, formerly old members of the Browns will be seen to-day, and they will no doubt all be given a rousing sendoff. The great Captain himself is an old time St. Louis favorite, while Arlie Latham, Tip O’Neill, Chamberlain and Mul- jane all have their local follow- ers. Biddy McPhee, one of the most conscientious and gentlemanly players on the diamond, will also be warmly welcomed.

Sullivan in New Orleans next fall, exhibited himself last night before a small audience in the Exposi- tion Music Hall. the whole affair was badly managed. The price of admission was fixed at $1 for down stairs seats and 75 cents for the gallery. A poor programme by local men occupied two hours’ time before Corbett appeared so that people might think they were getting something for their money. The audience waited patiently while ill- matched pairs of boxers punched wildly about and fell down on the floor. After two hours of stuff, in which nobody was the least bit interested, Corbett was announced, and he and Jim Daly of Philadelphia appeared. Corbett is a very handsome, trim-pbuilt fighter,but rather slight. He displayed plenty of science and activity, but, if the almost universal opinion of his audience be taken as a criterion, never be in it when fights Sullivan. ‘‘He’s toolight.’’ ‘*He’s not firm setenough.’’ ‘*He’s a good man, but not in Sullivan’s class,’’ were the remarks heard, Corbett did not give the impression that he would be able to whip John L. A great many hoped he might, but they only hoped. Noone would predict it. ‘*If Sulli- van trains too much,’’ ‘‘If Sullivan is not in good condition,’’ etc., were arguments used. In other words, those who wanted Sullivan whipped hoped he would turn up with a flAaw in him ,. somewhere which would handicap him down to Corbett’s level. In justice to Corbett it must be said that he is not boasting, andisas far ascan be judged serious in his intentions, SULLIVAN’S AND CORBETT’S DOINGS. In aninterview yesterday Corbett stated that in his coming match with Sullivan he expected to whip the latter by outgeneraling him, and said he relied much on ‘his own quickness on his feet. He said he did not fear Sullivan’s rushes, and” denied the statement that has been imputed to the champion that in their exhibition at the Callt- fornian’s benefit the beneficiary asked that there be no hard hitting. van were atthe Four Courts yesterday and the latter told about going out with Cronin, Cuthbert and John Thomas Brady toa road- house on Good Friday and feasting on wine, meat and game. The only man _ (to go under was a young doctor ‘who joined them at the table. Sullivan thought the road-house a fine place, but Chief Harri- an did not think it good enough to let run e said, unless it changed somewhat. The two pugilists did not meet while here.

The most apparent troubles at present arealack of long uni- form swing on the catch, and sway over on the recovery of the strokes, lack of control on the slides which bump down azainst the chucks and failing to put the oar firmly in the water for the heave.

Brooke Act- ing Cautiously, But Determined to Enforce the Law-—The Cattlemen Talk —Denounced as Thieves and Outlaws, BUFFALO, Wyo., April 16.—Col. Van Horn has telegraphed to army headquarters that he wishes to get Carpenter and Sherman, two of the cattlemen who were captured by the rustlers before the fight at T. A. ranch, and are now in jail—into his possession and keep them, together with the men who sur- rendered to the military at T. A. ranch, What with «the conflict of authority between Gov. Barber and Sheriff Angus, it is apprehended at |!Fort McKinney that if Carpenter and Sherman are left in the hands of the civil authorities, they willl not be heard from again in this world. Feeling runs so highthat there are rumors of anattempttotakxe tnem trom te jail and mvke them pay the penalty forthe taking of the lives of Champion and Day, whose killing and funerals have brought out intense bitterness toward the cattlemen. Gen. Brooke has instructed Col. Yan Horn that there is no intention of making the situ- ation worse by enabling the invading tattle- mentoslipaway. They will, he says, surely be brought to justice. It is reported here that several Omaha and Wyoming cattlemen have been wired to see Gen. Brooke and have the prisoners taken to Cheyenne for delivery under military guard to the civil authorities atthat place, instead of being putinthe county jail or released on ball. The report, together with dispatches sent out by the prisonersto their friends telling them that they are ‘‘all right,’’ does not allay the feeling. It is stated at the post here that Gen. Brooke will be guided by his own judgment and by advices from Washington and will not listen to appeals from either party. Col, Van Horn Is at liberty totake the prisoners, Sutherland or Sherman and Carpenter, from the county jailtothe post. The whole outfit of prisoners will be taken to Douglass for the present under military guard, THE CATTLEMEN TALK. STOCK OWNERS’’ DENOUNCED AS THIEVES AND OUTLAWS. OMAHA, Neb., April 16.—The Omaha and Wyoming cattlemen were calling on Gen, Brooke this morning when a reporter en- tered. Gen. Brooke smilingly said that these gentlemen no doubt would be glad to talk, andthey were. One of them, Col. W. A. Paxton, said: ‘*‘The papers have been.a fiittle wrong in the Wyoming matter. This party which left Cheyenne was a posseand a Deputy United States Marshal. These rustlers had organized acattle institution of their own and seta time for a round-up ten days previous to that laid down by the laws of Wyoming. The law specifies that the first Tuesday in April the cattlemen should get together and arrange round-ups for the year with the live stock commission appointed by the Govern- ment. This party went out to prevent the illegal round-up. The rustlers stated that they didnot propose the stockmen_ should work their cattle on the regular round-up. **Sixteen rustlers were at work on the south fork of Powder River when the posse started. These rustlers have through the local papers represehted themselves as small stock owners, while we know them personally to be thieves and outlaws. The day will come when these small stockmen who turned in with the band of rustlers will realize their mistake. The small owners have always been dependent upon the larger owner to have their cattle gathered andtaken. Thereisno disposition on the part of big stockmen to deprive any man runninga lawful brand of cattle from getting his cattle anywhere that they cambe found on the range.

ANIOWA MAN VICTIMIZED. Charles Wilson Falis Into the Hands of a Confidence Man. # Charles Wilson of Mt, Pleasant, Io., had his first experience in a large city yesterday morning. Upon arriving at the Union Depot he was accosted by a stranger who told him he was a merchant at Little Rock, Ark., and had come to St. Louls to do some trading. He had a trunk at the office of the Adams Express Co., but could not get possession of it until he paid the charges onit and he nad no money with him. He had a check for $600 but could get no money onit at the depot. ‘He would have to go down town toa bank, and if Mr. Wilson would accompany him, he would be glad to show him the city. Mr. Wilson accepted the ivitation with pleasure and the wo started town together. On the way they met an acquaintance of the Little Rock merchant who introduced him as Mr. Adams of the Adams Express Co. Mr, Adams said that the trunk was at the office and that if he wished to pay the charges on it there, he would accept the money and send him his and he needn’t bother any more The Little Rock merchant turned to Wilson and the latter volunteered at once to lend him the amount wanted.$30. The loan was accepted and the money handed over to Mr. Adams, Who wrote him out a receipt for it, Mr. Wilson wasjoffered the $600 ee security for the lo but he declined it, ; cei COR.

The rivalry in running time between the Chicago & Alton and the Wabash railroads has recently led toa remarkable record made by the former into Chicago. For some time past the Wabash had been getting the best of it, and the Alton was kept on the lookout for some means to surpass its rival. Recently, through the Lewis Valve Gear Oo., manufac. turers of a inew device of links and eccentrics, Mr. Albert Blair being President of the company, the Alton Co, had this new device put into use on its enginss. The test was Made with the Denver express from Bloomington to Chicago. The run from Joliet to Chicago was made in seventy-seven minutes. On this run thirty minutes are allowed forthe run from the city limits to the depot, and there aré twelve stops within the remaining thirty-two miles, the stops causing a total lossof time of twenty-three minutes. This gave an average rate of speed of eighty-four miles an hour. At one part of the straight run the time was taken, and it was found that the train ran seven miles in five minutes. The average’ of eighty-four milesan hour beat the best Wabash record, which was seventy- tt miles. , se. wm, Ga, Mil- TRY an oyster seta Crees Hougay epmnenEeN 0 re. | , THE TOWN OF KINDER.

WASHINGTON, April 16.—Mexico has not yet given up her hope of compéting with Nicaragua and Colombia to furnish the ship route of the future between the Atlantic and the Pacific. The disadvantage in breadth under which the Isthmus of Tehuantepec labors is very great, when it comes toa question of cutting a canal; but Mexico’s project isto substitute the device of a ship railway. If vessels can be safely raised out of the water, placed on a cradle, run by loco- motive engines along a track and then lowered again into the sea, a few miles more of track isa matter of minor consequence. The revived project has been taken up by Messrs. Corthell, Hampscn and Stanhope, of whom the first named has been for some time employed by Mexicoin making harbor improvements. Itis said that the Govern- ment has $2,000,000 ready as a subsidy for a ey bold enough to undertake this work... Of ‘Course, with the Nicaragua project so well advanced, an attempt to compete for in- teroceanic traffic by a ship railway at Tehuantepec is more heavily handicapped now than it was ten years ago, when Mr. James B. Eads was at the head of the enter- prise. But as an offset it would hardly feara rival in the Panama project, which was then going on busily, with a large supply of funds. The idea of the transportation of ships by rail has long been entertained. It was sug- gested when the Panama railroad was under- taken. More than a quarter of a century ago it was proposed asa method of convey- ing vessels between the Mediterranean and the Bay of Biscay in order to avoid the long route py way of the Straits of Gibraltar. But the striking and stupendous scheme of Mr. Eads, brought out in 1882, was not @& mere conception, but an elab- orately studied plan. It attracted atten- tion by its audacity, and perhaps the ohief reason why it was not more strenuously pushed was its being so experimental in char- acter. It seemed hardly worth while to un- dertakée on so prodigious a scale, and with such risk of total failure, what could be es- sayed by the device of the canal, made famlil- lar by ages of engineering. However, so far as Mexico is concerned, it seems to be that or nothing, in orderto create at Tehuantepec a rival to the southern canal routes. Looking only atthe interest of the present enterprise, it seems a pity that the Chignecto Bay project has not been pushed to comple- tion. There an illustration would be fur- nished on a small scale, and with compara- tively little capital at risk, of what is to be undertaken on a tremendous scale at Tehuantepec: Stillanother project in ship lifting and transportation was that of connecting Georgia Bay with Lake Ontario by atrack sixty-six miles long, al- though for this a canal has been proposed as asubstitute. But the ship railway across the narrow isthmus between Chignecto Bay, at the head of the Bayof Fundy, and North- umberland Straits, has long been under con- struction. It is now suspended for lack of funds, andit would possibly almost pay any company undertaking the great Tehuantepec project to insure the completion of the Chig- necto enterprise by way of experiment. There is little doubt that when Mr. Eads’ undertaking was before Congress a part of the remarkable conflict of opinion between no: only capitalists but civil engineers, ship builders, and navalarchitects was due to the exigencies of that scheme as well as to the general question of the feasibility of ship railways. Now the Chignecto railway, to begin with, is only seventeen miles long, whereas the one at Tehuantepec was to be at least 130 miles. The difference in level between the two ends on the Chignecto line, which lies at the boundary of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, is only about 47 feet, with no engineering difficulties of consequence along the line. But at Tehuantepec there is the great mountain chain of the Cordilleras to cross, ships hav- ing apparently to be carried over an eleva- tion of 750 feet. It would also be possible to try the hydraulic lifts provided for Chignecto Bay, which, as heretofore stated in these columns, are designed to handle a vessel of 2,000 tons, as thus described in a British tech- nical journal: There are on each side twenty hydraulic rams of 25-inch diameter. On the top of the ram is across head, from which hang two links joined at their lower end with immense iron girders, forming a **rrid-iron’’ 225 feet long and 60 feet wide. When ashipisto be lifted the grid-iron is allowed to rest on the bottom of the dock and the vessel floated im- mediately over it. Then, by the raising of the rams the grid-iron is lifted, and, being fitted with a cradle suited to the ship, it rests on them, being wedged up on either side pretty much the same way asacraft ready for launching. With this mechanism a vessel of 240 feet length and 61 feet width, drawing 16 feet, and weighing in all 2,000 tons, may be lifted 40 feetin twenty minutes. A double line of rails is laid on the gridiron, and it is on this thatthe cradle is fitted. The cradles are made of steel girders resting on bogies running ona double line of rails, and under aship of 2,000 tons there will run 192 solid wheels of 3 feet diameter, iormed in sections 75 feet long, and each having 64 wheels. Admiral Ammen, who, to be sure, could not be considered an unprejudiced authority, be- ing at the head of a rival enterprise, con- sidered it a fatal objection to the project of Mr. Eads that the height of the lowest moun- tain pass was 754 feet andthe grade atthe maximum 105 feet per mile. One cut pro- posed hada depth.of 312 feet and a base of 2,500, requiring the excavation of about 4,000, - 000 cubic yards, which would cost about $6,000,000 and occupy six years. Mr. Eads’ own estimate of the total cost of the ratiway was $72,000 ,000, but its opponents thought this very far below the real expense. On the other side, it was urged that by a few turns, the heavy grades, deep cuts and costly fillings mentioned by Admiral Ammen wouid be avoided; but the latter says that this could only be done by an enormous turn-table of Vast cost, onaccount of its foundations. Itis also asserted that since curves cannot be used as on an ordinary railroad, several such turn-tables would be required. However, inorderto obtain any true idea of the practicability of a Tehuantepec rail- way, it will be necessary firstto have the route carefully laid out, and then.it will be seen what peaks are to be avoided and what grades to be overcome. The start would, perhaps, be asthe Eadsscheme, from the head of navigation on the Coatzacoalcos, witha terminus on the Pacific inthe region of Salma Cruz or La Ventosa.,; WILLIAM WALLACE HUNTER. Birthday Anniversary of an Ex-Confed- erate Naval Officer. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 16.—Commodore Wim. Wallace Hunter,the senior surviving officer of the Confederate States Navy, re- ceived the congratulations of his many friends to-day, it being the. celebration of his 89th birthday. He received many visitors at his rooms, on Prytannia, corner of Terpsi- chore street. He was found in possession of all his mental faculties. He was comforta- biy seated in a big arm chair reading the newspapers and expressing a deep interest in the politicalissues of the hour. While nature and time have dealt gently with him the Commodore is quite feeble in his limbs and is unable to get about as easily as he did some months ago. He is, however, enjoying good health and delights in conversation. Born in Pennsylvania in 1803 he received his first appointment in the navy May 1, 1822, from the hands of President James Monroe. Had not the Commodore sided with the South in the war he would to-day be the oldest officer of the United States Navy, excepting one—Rear Admiral Selfridge, who is four years his senior; Rear Admiral Lee, next on the iist, being his ‘junior by three years. To him belongs the honor of designing the first iron man-of-war. When the war broke out he was at sea in command of a United States man-of-war. Scorning the proposition to turn his vessel over to: the Confederacy, he sailed her into the Brooklyn Navy Yard turned her over to the commander, obtain a receipt for all Government property for which he was responsible, then tendered his resignation to the F eral Government and went into Confederecy, where he sought and accepted service on the side of the South.

ALL THEIR INTERESTS LIE WITH THE GREAT REPUBLIC, Independence Must First Be Secured— Some Trade Statistics Bearing on the Subject The McKinley Bill Hurting the Canadians, but They Will Not Be Allowed to Find It Out. MONTREAL, April 16.—Recent events have given an impetus tothe growing sentiment in Canada in favor of political union with the United States. It is generally recognized, however, that in order to permit of the at- tainment of this desirable object without arousing any complicating elements, Cana- dian independence must first be secured. Leaders of both the Conservative and the Liberal parties have of late openly proclaimed their desire to see an independent Canada. Hon, Mr. Chapleon, Mintsterof Customs, has frequently expressed himself in favor of this idea, His last public utterance on the sub- ject was delivered in Providence, R. I., where he spoke eloquently and _ enthusiastically of a free Canadian nation. Hon. Mr. Laurier, the leader of the Liberal party, has been more outspoken still. He repeated in the House of Commons, a few days ago, the sentiments which he had uttered again and again on public platforms throughout the Dominion inthis connection. Our interests, he has always pointed out, are notatall identical with those of Britain, bnt they are identical with those of the United, States, with whom we should consequently be on the most cordially friendly terms. e has ever advocated an amicable separation from Britain—just as a son, arrived at manhood’s estate, quits the paternal roof to start house- keeping on his own account. WANT POLITICAL UNION. The considerations which have led the hon- est Canadian votertothink of throwing off his allegiance to England may be briefly stated. Inthe first place, he sees the rapid and solid progress, both in population and prosperity, which is being made by the great Republic tothe south of him;and he com- paresthat progress with the stagnation in both respects observable in his own country. Then he refiectsupon the hold which the Tory party has got upon the country, with its vast system of corruption and bribery, against which his honest ballot is cast in vain. The Tory party is the ‘‘Old Man of the Mountain’’ to Canada. The markets at our doors, those. of the United States, are closed to us through his stupid whim. Lastly, there is the ex- pensive tomfoolery of au Governor-General, who here in Canada maintains all the pomp and ceremonial of royalty, The spirit of Democracy which has been wafted hither across the border revolts at this effete insti- — all the solemn nonsense attached Oo . WHAT THE M’KINLEY BILL DID. I have just been looking into our last. blue- book to see whether the talk of the govern- mentorgans here as to Britian being ‘‘our natural market’’ and the McKinley act beinga **blessing in disguise’’ tous was borne out by the hard fact of commercial statistics. I find that during the past year the British market has been unable or unwilling totake from usthe quantity of trade which we have lost under the operation of the McKinley act. Last yearour shipments to the United States of sheep fell off $248,000, while oat shipments to Britain declined $141,- 814. Inthe same year our export of hay to the United States decreased by $546,984, and our shipments to Britain increased only $50,687. Our s&ales of horses to the United States fell off $682,000 in 1891, while. those to Britain in creased only $130,900. Our exporta- tion of eggs to the United States shows a’ falling off of $718.415, aloss which is poorly compensated for by the increase of $82,000 in the value of the exports of the same commodity to Britain. I have kept the largest item for the last. Itisthatofbariey. Our export of barley to the United States last year was $1,723,293 less in value than the previous year, against an increase to England of but $63,208. These are striking facts; but on account ofthe system of bribing the press which obtains in Canada —bribing it with well-paid Government ad- vertisements and with exorbitantly remun- erated printing jobs—they will never reach the eyes of the Canadian farmer. Anew exodus of French-Canadians from the province of Quebec tothe New. England States has begun. Carloads of them are leav- ing dally, and it is computed that during last month no fewer than 16,000 individuals crossed the border. Quite a bombshell was fired into the par- Namentary arena at Ottawa by Mr. Edgar, when he solemnly accused Sir Adolph Caron, member of the Cabinet, with blackmailing two railroads for electioneering and other urposes. The money, amounting to about 300,000, was taken from the subsidies granted to the roads by the Dominion Government. One sum of $100,000 went into Caron’s own pocket, for election purposes presumably. The Government jis, as I anticipated, en- deavoring to burke the inquiry asked for, re- lying on their brute majority of sixty-five out of 215. Sir John Thompson’s speech, defenda- ing the refusal of an inquiry by.a parliamen- tary committee, has produced a pain- ful sensation throughout the country, for before the bye-elections he declared repeat- edly on the hustings that every facility would be granted to investigate boodle charges,and everyone, ‘‘high or low,’’ found guilty of boodling or corruption would be punished. Now he shows himself tobe de- termined tothrow every obstacle inthe way ofinguiry. ‘‘Itisa matter for the courts,’’ he says. That may be. But it isa matter for Parliament to see that none ofthe min- ions of the Crown practice boodling and corruption with impunity. The case is in nearly every respect like that of the Bale des Chaleurs Kalilroad business, which brought about the overthrow of Mercier, only that it is more glaringly illegal. The independent Conservative press denounces the Govern- ment for stifling inquiry. FUNDS IMPAIRED. Aftairs ofjthe Philadelphia Surety, Trust & Safe Deposit Co. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 16.—Arguments were heard in court this morning in the bill in equity brougbt by the commonwealth through Attorney-General Hensel against the Mutual Surety, Trust & Safe Deposit Co., dl- recting that the banking company show cause why it should not be adjudged and de- creed insolvent, why the court should not dissolve the company and appoint a receiver, The grounds for this action, Attorney-Gen- eral Hensel alleged, were that by reason of the impairment of the capital of the company, of its unsafe and unsound con- dition and its irregular methods of doing business, the intere of the public required that the court should decree a disolution of the company and a distribution of its effects. e office of the banking company at No. 1317 Arch street was closed by Superintendent or Banking Krumbhaar on April2last and has since been closed. The charter of the bank. ing pomepesy provided that the company could not do business until it had a paid-in capital of $50,000. Considerable testimony was heard as to the value of loans and mort- gages held by the bankand the defendant’s attorney claimed that $170,000 has been se- cured and was intact. Superintendent Krumbhaar said thatthe officers of the de- fendant company agreed with him to be at the bank pewter 9:300’clock Monday morn ing to deposit $170,000, but no one appeared until 10:30, when two of the Officers came in and said that it was all right ; that the money had bee ised.

Soldiers Unwilling to Give Up the Trophies of Their Victories—Reminis- cences of a Veteran of Taylor’s Army— How Santa Anna Wa®s Beaten at Buena Vista—What Some of the Flags Cost. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.—The propo- sal to return the flags taken from the enemy during the Mexican War meets with the strongest opposition from military men, es- pecially from those who fought to win them, They maintain that few civilians can have any adequate conception of what a flag means toa soldier. It was purchased in most instances by the blood of brave men, freely shed to win it, and their surviving comrades are by no mears inclined to give up the tokens of their heroism. The Mexican flags are particularly valued, as _ they were gained in a_ hostile coun- try against odds that should have been overwhelming, and ina war which the United States troops, outnumbered by foes, and far from their base of supplies, with un- trained levies, never met the enemy save to drive him before them in headlong route. The recollections of a veteran who served with Taylor may give the generation that has arisen since 1846 some idea of what the flags of Mexico meant to the soldiers. TAYLORIN MEXICO. ‘*When the United States army under Tay- lor moved from Matamoras on Monterey,’’ said a veteran officer of high rank now on the retired list, *‘it did not present a very mili- tary appearance. There was a_ kernel of reguiar troops under officers of training and experience, but the great ma- jority of the men were the worst kind of raw militia, without military knowledge of any kind. Whatever virtues Gen. Taylor had, and he possessed many, Knowledge of how to impress a military spirit on civilians recently enlisted was not oneof them, for in bearing and habits he was everything that their offi- cers told them that they should not be. I re- member very well the feeling of despair that came over one of our regular officers who had been trying to lick a Squadron of cavairy into something like shape. TAYLOR ON PARADE, es Taylor made his appearance at a arn toe. coat was hanging wide open, he wore an oid straw hat, his leg was thrown saddle, and his right —_— -—-——- - —-- momentthat they saw the Commander-in- Chief in this condition, it was impossible to impress upon the men the importance ofa military bearing and attention to the minu- tiem of proper dress and drill. Worth was entirely different. Asoldier to the marrow of his bones, he was always allthat an officer should he, his gallant bearing, fine figure and soldierly appearance had an immense.in- fluence on all who saw him, and he did by his mere example more than any other man to transform our disorderly levies into an effective fighting force. A CRITICAL MOMENT. ‘*But whoever saw the General at Buena Vista would haveentirely forgotten these pecullarities in admiration of his coolness anda confident courage. He was neithera strategist nora tacticlan, his whole idea of military maneuvers being to march along the road until he came toan obstacle, and then go over it. He never had any- thing but Mexicans in front of him, and therefore always succeeded, but success was dueto his resolution, and the fighting qualities of the troops under his command, not to generaiship, for in that quality Santa Anna was unquestionably his superior, At Buena Vista Taylor jwas fairly surprised, and was five milesoff at Saltillo when the Mexicans, 20,000 strong, fell upon his little army of 4,400 men. Assoonas he heard the firing Taylor, with his staff, gal- loped tothe battlefield and took the com- mand from Wool. The moment at which he arrived was most critical. Thetwo Indiana regiments were broken and were in wild rout, leaving a great in the line through which the Mexicans were passing. Part ofa Kentucky regiment tried to ee 7 the advance, but were taken in flank and ridden down by cavalry. Young Henry Clay fellhere. When we picked up his body it bore ninety-seven lance wounds, each horseman in passing having speared the pases young man, who had attracted universal attention by his courage. Taylor rode up just when the main assaulting column, over 12,000 strong, was pouring out of a canon, and rushing toward Just behind him were two batteries, all that there was to stop the rush, The guns had to ascend a steep embankment, the officers were urging the men forward, and sticking their swordsinto the horses, but it seemed as if the flood of Mexicans would be upon us before the gunscould come up. The senior Captain, Braxton Bragg, ralloped up to Taylor for orders. ‘Go into battery here, Capt. Bragg.’ ‘Certainly, if you order it,’ was the reply, ‘butI have no supports, and am very Hkely to lose rf | pong ‘Never mind that,’ said Taylor, ‘if these guns are lost the armv is lost.’ As the Mexicans ap- ossser atthe double, Taylor sat on his amous Claybank horse as calmly and coolly as if no foe were near, and bis bearing in- ered. everyone with courage and con- the gap in the line, GATHERING at the run, in deep column, yelling like madmen, anticipating an easy victory, which was assured if they only showed a lit- tie constancy and courage, for they could have overrun the guns in thirty seconds and held the army at their mercy. The twelve guns were discharged at once, sending their double charge of grapshot through the col- umn. I was sitting on my horse behind a gun of the first section, and could plainly see the long line ploughed through the dense ranks. The run was checked to a walk, but still the line came on. In less than forty seconds the pieces were reloaded and fired this time with atriple charge. The men fe inmaps, one over thefother, the entire line halted, and I could plainly see a waver go along the front. At the third salvo they broke and ran. Then began a terrible slaughter. The canon was so narrow that the men could not get through rapidly, and was soon choked with a mass of fugitives into which grapeshot was poured as fast as the men could fire and load. After the battle we found piles of corpses as high as a man’shead. This was the turning point in the fight; their bloody repulse from what ought to have been cer‘ tain victory took the heart, what heart they ever had, outofthe Mexicans. Taylor rode to another part of the fleld as serenely as if nothing had happened. TREATMENT OF THE WOUNDED. ‘*‘A Mexican surgeon had been captured, was paroled and assigned to me as my guest. He seemed a very Kindly, good-natured fel- low, and was not prepared for an exhibition of brutal eartlessness, which he gave a few days iater. One day atdinner I saidtohimthatI had never witnessed an ee yg and he told meto gowith him tothe hospital where he had one to perform. He laid a wounded Mexican on the operating table and tcok his log off in short order. After it was done he informed me in the coolest imaginable man- ner that the operation ought to have been penpeaes for four or five days, but thatas I ad expressed a desire to witness it, he had taken off the legat such time as I was at leisure. Iwas continually struck by the in- difference to the welfare of their troo shown by the Mexican officers. It is not to wondered at that they could never stand an American charge, no matter what the dig- proportion in their favor.’’ IMPROVED FARMING.

Some time ago London Tid-Biis offered a two- guinea prize for the best definition of a kiss. Seven thousand answers were received, among them the following: Cupid’s sealing-wax. The soul’s ambassador, The report at headquarters, The striking ofa love match, Nothing divided between two. The essence of tulips (two lips). An unspeakable communication, The poorest mother’s richest gift. The acme of agony to a bashful man. The missing link between body and soul, Woman’s food, man’s luxury, boy’s physic. The sweetest labial of the world’s language. A good impression made by the seal of love. Thatin which two heads are better than one. The lover’s privilege and the pug dog’s right. Draughts of nectar from the lips of inno. cence. The only Known ‘‘smack’’ that will calma storm.. Nature’s Volapuk—the universal language of love. Printing without Ink, leaving no visible im. pression. The sovereign tincture in our household dispensary. Bvergpoay’s acting edition of ‘‘Romeo and Juliet.’’ It is like the wind that blows; it is felt but not seen. The safety-valve to an exuberance of tender feelings. The only gift a gemerous lover likes to get back again, The best plaster for the wounds given in domestic tiffs. The drop that runneth over when the cup of love is full. Love’s happiest expression and sorrow’s tenderest balm. Contraction of the mouth due to enlarge- ment of the heart. The dew gathered from the lips of earth’s fairest flower. A lip salve, often tried as a specific in affec- tions of the heort. Cupid’s cruising smack, the crews of which are generally lovesick,. The only delight of the gods that mortals are permitted to enjoy. A simple thing of which a whole world of meaning is sometimes hidden. Atelegram to the heart in which the op- erator uses the ‘‘sounding’’ system. The only really agreeable two-faced action under the sun or the moon either. That which youn cannot give without tak- ing, and cannot take without giving. A Kiss resembles a short sermon, consisting of two heads and an application. Woman’s passport to her husband’s purse, and man’s passport to a woman's heart. What man struggles for before marriage, what woman struggles for after marriage. A thunder clap of the lips which inevitably follows the lightning giance of the eyes. The anatomical juxtaposition of two orbi- cularis oris muscles in a state of contraction. What the child receives free, what the tee man steals and what the old man uys. The sweetest fruit on the tree of love. The oftener plucked the more abundant it grows. A kiss is three parts of speech—a transitive verb, an invisible noun anda visible con- junction. What the chimney-sweeper imprinted on the rosy —_ of. the sctillery-maid when she told him she favored his soot. Of use to noone, but much prized by two. The baby’s right, the lover’s privilege, the rent’s benison, and the hypocrite’s mask, A woman’s most effective argument, whether to cajole the heart ofa father, con. trol the humors of a husband, or console the griefs of childhood. An old-fashioned telegraphic arrangement tor transmitting from one person to another sensations that cannot be trans- mitted correctly by any other medium known, That which is exchanged between two per. sons, is something while in the act of ex- changing, nothing after the exchange is made, and for which neither can show value received, | SOUVENIR SILVER SPOONS, $1 TO $10.

Written fer the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH. Time was when my lady considered herself rather ‘‘giddy’’ if she carried a,parasol lined with pink silk, to cast’a becoming flush upon her face. Now as she drives along the beaches and the country roads she protects hegself from the sun’s rays by ‘every variety of lace, chiffon, crepe, shimmering silk and the like, The Mercer for April gives several illustrations of the prevailing styles in para- sols, and they are all as ‘‘beruffied’’ and **befrilled’’ as a ball dress. One of mauve brocade and chan chiffon is shown. The chiffon is shirred about the top; thencomesa st the brocade, then more shirred chiffon and a ruffie. The handleis of natural wood, sim- ply twisted. A novelty inthe lineof parasols is called after the Spanish dancer Carmencita, and is dainty and airy enough to justify the title. It is ruffled both inside and out. Without is chiffon gathered in soft folds on a rather fiat frame, with a ruffle hanging from the edge. Inside, pendent from each rib, is a soft flounce, terminating in a ruffle around the center and also at the outeredge. ‘The faint- est and most delicate contrasts in colors are used for the inside andthe outside of this sunshade. . Lt AO wg i ‘ f YD The ‘* Carmencita.’’ A somewhat simpler style is shown in plain crepe dechine. It is gathered insoft shir- rings about the center of the frame, and is finished with two rather wide ruffies. In any of the prevailing shades of gray, in some of the greens and in clear red it is very pretty. All the accessories of my lady’s totlet—those trifies that cost their weight in gold gener- ally—are unusually dainty this spring. In gloves some exquisite shades in greens that verge toward gray are seen. These have embroidered backs—the embroidery being in three strands. The outer strands are green to match the glove and the middle one is white. Another novelty, though not a par- ticularly pleasing one, is the beaded glove. These are demi-gauntiet patterns, the cuff being embroidered in jet or stéel beads, Somewhat Simpler. Fancy runs riot in the manufacture of shirt waists. They are,trimmed with lace jabots and chiffon frilis. They have tucks and laitings. Butthey are always pretty. One mn blue surah, seen lately, was extremely fetching. There was a deep, turn-over col- lar, high sleeves and a broad girdle of folds. Down the front and about the collarrana raffie of Point d@’Irlande lace with loops of narrow rivbon. Another waist of pink silk has a zouave-jacket front opening over a vest of full ruffles of cream lace. ‘ New Jabot and Vest of Crepe de Chine, The jabots and plastrons with which to brighten up dull gowns oradda new beauty to fresh ones continue to be as pretty and ex- pensive asever. Stillthey are easily made, and are, therefore, within the reach of all. A pesety vest with which to enliven a black silk is made of red crepe de Chine. A piece long enough tm reach from the he¢ek to the waist is gathered on a thin foundation and curved to fit the dress atthe throat. It is also gathered at the waist line, but more closely, to give a tapering effect. A fine plaiting of the crepe forms a jabot down the middle of the front, A bandto fit the neck, trimmed with leather stitching and a fine plaiting, formsa collar, and cuifs to match complete the pretty addition to thetollet. A jabot of chiffon, orof less perishable thin China silk, has a big, loose bow knot at the top, from which the full ruffies hang grace- fully. This is fastened at the throat with tiny pins. As the time for canvas shoes draws near it is of interest tolearn how those easily solled articles may be kept fresh. A slightly soiled shoe may be cleaned by rubbing thoroughly with stale bread crumbs. Grease spots or other deep stains may be removed with ben- gine or ether. Apply the liquids with so cloths, frequently changing t em, Itis well to remember that these liquids are inflam- mable. Keep them away from fires or lighted lamps while the renovating process goes on. Steinway Pianos. Large stock in all cases and styles, : BOLLMAN Bros’.

We have always been expecting it and It bas come at last. A colored woman has written a novel, and while there’s nothing specially striking about the book there is about the writer. Sarah E. Farro her parents call her, and she has not seen fittochange the name. she is 26 years old, as black as the ‘‘dark cell’* on the Island, and full of ambition and self-con- fidence. She reads all the books and mag- azines and her favorite authors are Holmes, Dickens and Thackeray. She lives in Chicago because she has never been anywhere else, and has a high-schoo. education, The title of the book is ‘‘True Love,’’ and an idea of the style may be gained from these extracts: At her left sat Martha, quietin manner, plain y nature; she had large gray eyes, reflective, strange deep, with a circle of darker gray around them. When they were cast upon you it was not at you they looked, but at what was withia you—at your mind, your thoughts.

The old Soulard mansion, southwest corner of Twelfth and Soulard streets, has been con- VYerted into a foundling asylum. In the grand salon, and parlors, and corridors, in which in days gone by was heard only sounds of laughter, and music, and merry-making, ds now heard thie pitiful wail of infants, poor little mites of humanity rescued from squalid poverty, neglect and starvation by the little band of Christian workers, who are _ Gevoting their lives to this charity. ‘*Bethes- da’’ is the name given to this home for foundlings. It wasopened up on Ninth and Russell avenue, a few years ago, withonly a few dollars, ten perhaps, in the treasury,and no endowment fund torely upon, only faith in prayer. During the current year the home has sheltered 200 unfortunate mothers and babies, and provided twenty-six Christ- jan homes for foundlings. It has also provided homes for a number of aged Christian women, who are no longer able to support themselves. Forthe means to prosecute this work the Board of Managers depend entirely upon the promises and faith- fulness of God, through the voluntary gifts of his people as he may dispose them to give. On the ist day of March they had under their roof forty-three inmates, and were com- pelled, for want of space, toturn many away. This condition of things led these earnest workers to consider plans for the enlarge- ment of their space, and while discussing the gnatter only about two weeks ago they came qcross the old Soulard mansion, with its spacious grounds, untenanted. Not even knowing whether it was for-rent or not, they made application for it and secured it fora moderate rental, They took possession at once and they have already fitted up two large ms forthe nurseries, in which they have nstulled sometwenty-four babies from the old home with their nurses, leaving the old ladies and unfortunate young women at the Russell street home, where the latter will be kept until able to work, when places are se- cured forthem. Many of these women serve in the capacity of nurses for the babies. Looking over some old papers a few days ago,a fittle leaflet from the ‘‘Bethesda’’ fell into the hands of a SUNDAY PoOST-DISPATCH reporter, who determined to call upon Mrs. Roger Hayne, the President of the Board. She was found, cheery as usual and the em- bodiment of faith, superintending the removal and arrangement of the new home, which had only been determined on last week. **Are you not afraid of the risk?’’ asked the reporter of Mrs. Hayne. ‘*Afraid? No! We have doubled our ex- nse from $300 per month to $600, but we are not troubled. If we were, or should we loose our faith in the promises of God, everything would be lost. We came into this empty house last week, and on Saturday a lady whom I had never seen but twice, sent to us the complete outfit for our kitchen and laundry, range, stove, etc., and shades for our whole house. See all of these large empty store rooms, the Lord will fillthem. And here is the coal bin, that will not long be empty. We are often reduced to great straits, but we remember that there must be an emptying process before the filling. These great unfurnished rooms will all be filled with cots, for the guilds of many of the churches have offered to furnish and keep a cot, which accommodates about three children.’ Now, the protraits of the old Soulards look from the walls, benignly down, upon cribs of every size and condition, sent in from the homes of the rich andthe poor, in which slumberthe forlorn little creatures, one of whom was picked up in an alley only afew days ago. Without having kept up with the daily life of this institution, one can scarcely appreci- ate the marvelous and interesting work it has accomplished. It has been founded like Mueller’s Faith Home in Engiand,which from a bare little room has spread out intoa magnificent establishment, coverin g acres of ground and sheltering thousands of r creatures. A diary is kept of the daily work -and progress of he Bethesda, and the extracts which are oll given, comprising the history of one gnonth’s labor, will give an excellent insight into its work, its hours of trial, its seasons of rejoicing and its wonderful deliverance at all times from impending disasters. The record of one of the months just passed, February, has been chosén to illustrate the working of this institution. Feb. 1.—It is good to knowthat God will oall we trust Him to do; and that when aith is ey and in biessed exercise, there * “$s no limit to its possibilities. Feb. 3.—Much in prayer that our borders may be enlarged; our Homeis so crowded; dear little Edith H. sent ina giftof a dress nd 15 cents. The Young Ladies’ Guild of the rst Presbyterian Church sent in a quantity of useful clothing for our little ones. A retty blue eyed baby, four months old, was eft with us to-day. We named the little tranger Grace. Her mother had deserted er when only three weeks old. May God opensome Christian home for this baby speedily. Feb. 4.—This has been a pouring wet day. Five of the ladies of the Baptist Church came down to conduct the Thursday meeting. Feb. 5.—Itis wonderful how good God is, a@ndtruly His sustaining grace under trial is @s precious as his delivering grace. Our wants have been many and pressing and yet He has kept us in perfect peace. A basket of groceries from Mrs. K. anda gift-of fruit from Mrs. G. werea great a to our scanty gtock. Later on $8 from three friends enabled us to pay our ‘ater taxes, and purchase some provisions. Feb. 8.—This morning our poverty, which had lasted some days, had become most pressing. The heart would be overwhelmed at such sorrows but for quiet’ resting in His presence. Shortly after breakfast a gentle- man called, astranger to me, and handed me $10, kindly remarking that he was inter- ested in our work of love. Truly itis worth being greatly tried in faith to have such proofs of our Father’s loving care. Weights are required tokeep the machinery of the clock running. Feb. 9.—This has been a day of great in Lora, Tokens of favor have come from many directions. One friend gave me $33. Be- fore night $9 more were sent to me. Two young mothers were admitted to-day, both of them strangers and destitute in this large city. —«#Féb, 18.—‘*Thy bread shall be given thee and thy water sure.’’ Mrs. F.

Feb. 18.—Poor little Eugene died this morn- -4ng. It was touching to see the distress of the r mother, who had nursed him with such devotion during his long illness. . Feb. 21,—Little Lucy went into her new home to-day. Nurse parted with her very re- Juctantly.

The Executive Committee of the Inter- national Board of the Woman’s Christian Association, which meets the first week of June, in Louisville, Ky., as noted last Sun- day, will have before it work of the greatest importance. The committee was appointed at the International Conference in Chicago, Oct. 13, 1891, and the meeting in June, there- fore, isthe first. ‘The committee was created to attend to the work which presented itselfin the intervals between annual con- ferences. kach conference contains hew delegates. The Executive Committee, made up of representatives from aimost every State and territory of the United States and one each from Engiand, scotlandand Can- ada, is a compact, practical body of women acquainted with the prob- lems which will arise. The dele- gates will make reports, offer suggestions, and perhaps note the difficulties which. they encountered... Ihe committee will discuss these things, and by their united wisdom strive to iniprove, toremedy or to advance, as the circuinstances warrant, An important subject which the committee will treat will be its part in the World’s Congress Auxillary of tue World’s Columbian Exposition. Mrs. Potter Palmer of Chicayo, president of the Woman’s branch of the Auxiliary, invited the International Board of tue Woman’s Christian Associa- tions to participate in the Auxillary. The invitation was accepted and Mrs. A. C. Drinkwater of Boston was ap- pointed Chairman ofa World’s tair commit- tee in response to the invitation. The other members are Mrs. Leander Stone-of Chicago and Mrs. C. R. Springer of St. Louls. As is well knownthe auxiliary will be, in effect,a congress of congresses to discuss all moral, social, political, religious, w#sthet- ic, literary, musical and practical probiems. From the World’s Congress Auxiliary on Educational Congresses, the programme ex- tends thruugh a long LUst to the World’s Auxillary on Municipai Order. The Woman’s Christian Associations will be represented in at least six divisions of the Auxillary. The general World’s Fair Committee named above have recently prepared a code of ques- tions, which were sentina circuiar letter to each local association. The object of the questions is to obtain the senti- ment of each association on the vital ques- tions, which will come before the several branches of the Auxillary. .From these re- piles the Executive Committee will deduce a line of representation in Auxiliary. The exact date of the committee’s meeting has not been settled, because they will be the guests Of the local Louisville Association, A Series of Festivities. The ladies of the Woman’s Training School, 813 North Fourth street, will givea series of four entertainments and society events in the South and West Ends before the close of the month. The first will be a violet party, which will be given at Anchor Hall, corner of Jeffer- son and Park avenues, next ‘ihursday even- ing, the 2istinst.

The ladies of the St. Louis Physical Culture Club havea single ambition just now. They anxiously desire to make a favorable reply to an invitation extended Mrs, Clara Holbrook Smith to give a second and a more extended course of lectures here in the near future. The ladies of the club have had some corre- spondence with Mrs. Smith upon the subject of her return to this city, and they expecta positive acceptance of their invitation within a few days. Mrs. Smith is on the Pacific coast at the present time, deep in a series of lectures. She has been to Washington, D. C., since her lectures in St. Louis last November, where she conducted an extensive physical culture institute. She may be expected to give to local advocates of athletic exercises for ladies the benefit of her wre observation and her enlarged eas. Atthe close of Mrs. Smith’s lectures last November seventeen young ladies who were close students of her system assembled, to ractice her instructions and principles. ev. Dr. P. G. Robert, rector of the Holy Communion Church, Leffingwell avenue near Washington avenue kindly offered them the use of the guild room of his church. The ladies continued to meet there every Wednes- day afternoon at 20’clock. No formal organ- ization was effected until the middle of Janu- TRAINING NURSES, A NEW PROFESSION WHICH I8 BEING ADOPTED BY PROMINENT WOMEN. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. The question of work for women is un- doubtedly the most absorbing one in the whole social econo just at present. As Victor Hugo says, tAis is the woman’s century, and she is bending all her energies to the task of working out her’ own salvation —physical, moral and mental, It is not so much a question of obtaining bread and but- ter asitisofdevelopment. However, as de- velopment simply means increase of ability in all directions, and ability must find its out- let in directed energy, which is work, it amounts to the same thing and means bread and butter in the end—only it is bread and butter. sweetened by the consciousness of having been honestly earned by its recipient. The development of woman from the con- dition ofa form household drudge, or help- less dependent upon the bounty of man, has been almost marvelous in its rapidity during the last half century. Too rapidly, some social economists think, for now we are con- fronted by a labor question that seems difi- cuit of solution, the question of woman’s labor coming into competition with that of OUTDOOR COSTUME TAKEN FROM A STAGH DESIGN. ita a ES, - i > - “a — . s aa -_ J OP —~ _ — - , ws - en - MOL, i ¢ ee ~ : * » 7) A + ~. - Sa? - “ ~ = — a “ff “ e kee a a > Z —— , - os KW, 7" fe —- . 7 - e 444 PAPO , om - Se22«.. * ‘=. ee , . _ tealinn bn ~ » ag — » a eT 2 ab ee 72 ia Fara as he 2 es =. », 7 Na RS <7 tae ay 5 be” Aan? shige i a eats Be ae ve SP) 4 dé it ORES Se OS SOO, Beye Dae , xe t”

HE ABANDONS HIS PROFESSION BECAUSE HE DISAPPROVES OF HANGING. ‘Zet He Says That {Oriminals Prefer Death to Penal Servitude for Life—Boasts of the Good Quality of His Work—Olaims to Be a Humane Man—Qualifications of a Hangman. Bpecial Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATOH, Lonpon, April 4.—James Berry, lately prin cipal hangman of Great Britain, who re- signed his office a few weeks ago because he had developed conscientious scruples against capital punishment and also because the prison authorities hampered his indepen- dence too much, has taken to lecturing about his former occupation. He has written out with his own hand for the Sunpary Post- DisPaTcuH one of the interesting addresses he will make. A portrait, which gives a good _ fG@eaofMr. Berry’s forceful face, is given with it. At the beginning of his official career Mr, Berry was very much averse to publicity and he would hide himself when newspaper cor- respondents approached him. He has, of course, entirely overcome the aversion. On the lecture platform he wearsa confident but modest air anda tweed suit of dark- brown and biack check and a small black silk mecktie. Among other features of his per- gonal adornment is a watch-chain charm showing an athlete and a foot-ball. This was presented to himin recognition of his success at the game.

HAUNTS HIM. Could those who are most loud in insist- ing upon the death penalty being inflicted only witness the last moments ofthe con- demned as I have, they would, I think, desire a change in the law. May, 1884, a Lincoln- shire woman was executed at the new jail, ncola, for poisoning her husband. To the last she solemnly declared that she had not done so, and as she was led to the scaffold by two female wardens her screams were fear- ful. Ican hardly bear to recall that scene. Her fright and .fear were so acute that the crowd outside the jail could hear her cries for mercy; and tothe last moment she persisted in saying she was not guilty. AN EXECUTION OF POACHERS. On March 81, 1884, two men were executed at Calton Jalil, Edinvurgh for shooting three gamekeepers. On the Saturday before their execution the two wives, each with five or six children, paid them a last visit to say ‘*Good-by.’’ The wife of one was so overcoms that she.went out of her mind ‘and was taken oa lunatic asylum. There was such frantic rying and calling for daddy that I could not help crying myself, and the prison warders who were standing about all shed tears. In 1886 ayoung man was executed in Lan- caster Castle. This man was of weak mind; he was nearly insane from fright. It was with great difficulty that he was brought to: the scaffold, four warders having to carry him the whole of the way; and by his con- fused and wandering talk it was evident that his mind was completely overbDalanced.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN--The position in which I appear this evening requires some explanation, because [think this is the first time in English history thata man who has occupied the very important position of pub- lic executioner has ventured to address him- self to his countrymen and countrywomen upon the question as to the abolition of cap- ital punishment. For eight years and during the holding of office by the three Secretaries of State for the Home Department I have carried out execu- tions in almost every jail throughout the length and breadthof Great Britain. The office is notone which many wouldcare to hold, and it is not necessary here to go into the reasons which led me in the first instance to seek the appointment. The facts remains that Ihave acted as executioner for that period and that now, without knowing how I shall be able to maintain my wife and family in the future, I have voluntarily resigned the omce I held. HANGING NOT A DETERRING INFLUENCE. This action on my part is not the result of a Budden resolve, but the consequence of a wing conviction that the policy of hanging a@ bad one;thatitis not such nishment for murder as an enlightened Christian coun- try ought to carry out; that it has no deter- ring influence on the commission of crime, ’ even that of murder, and that the new in- structions which have been circulated through all the gauls deprive the executioner of his personal independence and actual re- sponsibility, while it Jays him open to the re- oach of consequences resulting from the ction of another, These have been the reasons which have urged me tothe step I have taken, and par- ticularly the consequences of which 1 wasa witness, at the first interference with the rformance of my office, under the new reg- blations at Kirkdale Jail. I hope, if execu- ons are carried on in the future, that public pinion will not allow the executioner to ft into an irresponsible and unprotected functionary, the butt of every thoughtless man’s attack, the victim of the wildest un- ‘ truths whicha heated reporter can pen, sub- ecttothe orders of inexperienced exper!i- entalists in the shape of medical men and -“to the emotional interferences of those in orders. ; THE MOST MERCIFUL MODE OF DEATH. That ging is the most merciful mode of G@eath I am confident. This hasbeen the lish method from time immemoraial. At 6 present moment hanging is practiced in reat Britain; until very recently through- t the United States; in Switzerland, in olland andin Hungary. In Germany, be- eading is SB ge ag = ot a France, the gulillo- tine is used; in Spain, those sentenced to death are garfoted;in Sweden, they are de- pitated; in Belgium, however, the King has never been induced tosigna death war- rant; the King of Denmark i8 equally re- juctant, and so haye been therulers of Rou- mania. Yet there have not followed in these s any serious Outbreaksjof crime. cannot the death penalty be abol- ngiand and another method of pun- ent be substituted? ‘his is a serious consideration, to which the attention of e best minds in this country s been dalrected. To this end the oward Association have labored for twenty- ve years, and they have created a public eeling upon the question which I hope is mK oraction. I1 propose, therefore, first of all, to give you ticulars from my own exper!l- ence, and thento lay before youthe argu- ments whichI think should have weight in arriving at the conclusion that the penaity of Geath should be erased from the statute book ef this Christian land. to form tle ts w ould inflict vic -aweak man be game fault; a slow min would prolong un- necessarily the agony of dying, and a nery- could not be trusted to carry out the Y whieh devolves aoe him.

He is n, with family ciaims to bably th one sick in the family whose life is a perpetual sacrifice OCCASIONS. sions, and no has ever pharaes me with convict, either ing in an . dé my work by or ormance et, I never moment the pclentitic love of than the ordeal of penal servitude for life, having served twenty years each before, so that sending a criminal for life into penal servitude is far more terrible than hanging. Then, in the case of three men at Wor- cester, eighteen months ago, sentenced to death for murdering two gamekeepers, one was reprieved at the last moment and only two hanged, and the man er a actually acknowledged that ne himself was the mur- derer. ‘Thisis another case forthe abolition of capital punishment. If one was reprieved alithree should bave been reprieved. Why should one get off with penal sé@rvitude and two be hanged? Because influence was brought to bear upon the case by the Bishop of Worcester, therefore the two gipsies had to be hanged because they had no influence. 154 EXECUTED OUT OF 672 ACCUSED. Now, in a few sentences, let me give you two reasons which appear to me convincingly in favor of the abolition of the death penalty: First, It would give greater security to human life, convictions in crimes punishable with death are less certain than in those for which other punishments are given. During ten years, from 1879 to 1888,in England and Wales, 672 persons were committed for trial for willful murder; of these, 231 were acquit- ted, 142 were found insane, and 299 were sentenced todeath, Ofthis number 145 had their sentences commuted and 154 were exe- cuted. Thus only 45 per cent of those charged were convicted and only 23 percent of those condemned actually suffered death. Sothat persons charged with murder have many more chances of escaping than any other class of offenders, and this is well known to the criminal classes. Secondly, I be‘ieve there are far more mur- ders committed by persons who are really in- sane thanis known or acknowledged, and while the number 1 have mentioned were found insane at the time of their trial, there are many others in whom insanity tis not fully developed until after their conviction. MR. BERRY’S PERORATION. With the advance of education, of temper- ance and of religion, we may look forward to more certain influences for the repression of murder than in the infliction of the death enalty. John Bright once said: ‘‘Execu- ions weaken that otherand greater security which arises from the reverence with which human life is regarded.’’ Lord Lytton also said: * ‘Society has erected the gallows at the end ofthe lane, instead of guide- posts and direction- boards at the beginning.’ Qn these two reasons I rest’ my appeal to ou this evening, that you will sign the peti- ion now lying in this theater in favor of the abolition of the death penalty. From the concluding paragraph of his lect- ure it will be seen that Berry has gone on to the platformt helpin the accomplishment ofa great legal reform.

NEw ORLEANS, La., April 16.—United States Attorney-General W. H. H. Miller left the city last night for Texas, terminating a three days’ visit of pleasure and business com- bined. He arrived Wednesnay morning, looked overthe Custom-house, took a drive about town, dined with friends and retired early. Thursday he visited Gov. Warmoth’s Magnolia plantation, returning to the city in the afternoon. The evening was spent quietly. Yesterday, in company with Mar- shal Donally, Mr, Miller made an inspection of the city front, luhched witha party of Cus- tom-house officials and left at 5 o’clock over the Southern Pacific route, After visiting the Texas circ.its Mr. Miller will make a trip +a ae Arkansas, thence back to Washing- on Speaking of the Attorney-General’s visit, Col. Thomas W. Wickham, chairman of the Parish Committee of the Warmoth faction, last night said: ‘*The rumors that Mr. Miller came here to pull down the Breaux ticket are absolutely false, and were circulated by the Leonard people to influence the country vote. The Administration does not recognize Leonard and certainly would not pull down Breaux in order to elect an unrecognized candidate. He did not meddle in politics at all during his visit, which was purely of a business import.’’ MERAMEC HIGHLANDS, the charming resort on ‘‘Frisco,’’ will be In perfect order on May Day.

Unwarranted Assumption of Power by NO RIGHT TO PAY MONEY TO ITALY OUT OF THE CONTINGENT FUND. The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Feels Aggrieved — Congress Should Have Been Asked to Appropriate a Sum to Indemnify the Relatives of the Lynohed Mafians—Misuse of Funds. trouble ahead forthe State Department, It results from the payment of $25,000 indemnity to the Italian Government for the lynching of the alleged Mafia murderers of Chief Hen- nessy at New Orleans, in March last. This sum has been or will be paid out of the con- tingent fund of the State Department. It was not because an indemnity had been agreed upon that fault was found, but be- cause the President had assumed the right to pay it without consulting Congress. The oldest Senator had hardly dreamed of such an assumption ofauthority in spite of the liberal education the country has received in acsumptions of executive power under the reciprocity section of tne McKinley bill, Senator Butler of South Carolina, a mem- ber of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, who has been in the Senate for fifteen years, said only a few hours before the correspondence was made public, that there was no other way in which the indemnity could be paid except as an item inthe diplomatic and con- sular bill or in a special appropriation bill. The members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in both houses are very indignant at what they characterize an arbitrary anda flagrant misuse of thesum of $80,000, which has been annually voted for some years for the contingent fund of the State Department. They say that fund has always been intended to meet small items of expense— extraordinary expenses—required by courtesy orcomity toour diplomatic representatives or those of foreign countries, and that to use it to pay an indemnity without the authority of Congress is something never dreamed of by Congress in making@he appropriation. There is no precedent for such action on the part of the President, and the subject is likely to be sharply discussed when the diplo- matic appropriation bill is takenupfor de- bate. Attention will be called to the fact that when President Cleveland wished to compensate the Government of China for the losses of Chinese subjects by mob violence at Rock Springs, Wro., on Sept. 2, 1885, he senta special message to Congress urging an appropriation. The House ap- propriated $147,748 and the appropriation was concurred in by the Senate. The use made of the contingent fund in this case is likely to result inits being materially reduced. The diplomatic appropriation Dill has been re- ported with the usuai item of $89,900, but members of the House say that they shall re- duce this amount andin the present temper of the Senate they believe no effort will be made to restore it there. A resolution may be passed calling upon the President for iIn- formation as to how this fund has been spent in recent years. Members of the Committee of Foreign Affairs are specially indignant because of the implied distrust and disregard of them in the action of the administration. They say that they were quite ready to vote an indemnity if the facts justified, as they did in the Rock Springs case. One gentlieman who isnota member of the committee, but who Is thor- oughly familiar with all the details of the Itaiian case, said to-day that when President Harrison in his recent message to Congress recommended that some action ought to be taken in the matter, there was then a strong sentiment in the- House in favor of payin Italy anindemnity. That sentiment, he said, has increased rather than diminished. In his opinion, any sum within reason would have been cheerfully voted by both houses of Congress. BRITISH COMMENT. LONDON, April 16.—The Daily News, in addition to declaring that no sane being can doubt that the offer of in- demity forthe New Orleans lynching made by the United States to Italy was dictated solely by a sense of right, says that the digni- fled observations of the New York Herald, Tribune and Times might profitably be studied by some organs of opinion onthis side of the ocean. The News paysatribute to the statesman- like attitude of Mr. Blaine, who, it says, vol- untarily offered to make compensation to ltaly. 2 ce Globe says that the heirs of the men lynched are very lucky. According to the non- diplomatic view itis not to be assumed that Mr. Blaine intends to establish a prece- dent holding the Federal Government an- swerable for the derelicts of every separate State. That would be carrying the federal principle a degree further than was ever thought of even when civil war was not con- sidered too high aprice to pay for its su- premacy, MONEY FOR PENSIONS, THE APPROPRIATIONS WILL BE INCREASED BY THE HOUSE. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—The belief prevails among many Senators that the House hascutthe appropriations for pen- sions below the absolute requirements of the law, and itis probable that the total appro- priation by the pension appropriation Dill will be swelled by several million dollars when it is returned to the House by the Senate. The Commissioner on submitting estimates tothe Congress to the amount of money that wil) be required to pay pensions during the next fiscal year, placed the sum at $147,000,000. The House Appropriations Committee in fixing the appropriation cut $13,000,000 from this estimate, leaving thie total appropriation $144,000,000, The reason assigned for this reduction was the belief by the committee, founded on a careful scrutiny of the workings of the Pension Office, that at the end of the present fiscal year there would remain unexpended from the general appro- priation the sum of $15,000,000. As this sur- plus would be available to supplement the appropriations, they vould well be fre- duced to an amount hearly_ corre- sponding to the surplus. but that action was taken up by the House Committee many weeks ago, and meantime the Pension Office has been working along with much diligence, and has paid so many pensions that the Senators have come to the eonciusion that the surplus which will be left atthe endof the present fiscal year will be nearly $5,000,000, which, iftrue, would oblige the Senate to add nearly $10,000,000 to the to- talof the pension appropriation bill as it came fromthe House, Itis probable that with a view to pales the appropriation as nearly as possible ut the requirements of the Pension Buréau, the pension appropriation bill will be allowed to remain unacted upon in the Senate Committee on Appropriations un- til the end of the fiscal year is close at hana, or at least until there is obtainable more defi- nite information thahis how at hand with reference to the amount of the surplus. PRESIDENT HARRISON'S PROMENADES, Cleveland Was a Recluse and Franklin ‘Pierce an Avenue Lounger. Bpecial Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DIsPATcH. WaSHINGTON, April l4.—The people of this city are not denied the privilege of seeing the President, during this administration, as they were duringthe efght years preceding the t#aAugUratian_of President Harrison. Grant and Hayes were familiar figures on Pennsyivania avenue, for they were both good walkers, and when they didn’t choose to Walk they drove in open barouches, 80 that they might see and be seen of meh. But Mr. Cleveland was seldom seen by the peo- ple. He Was morethana recluse. President Arthur seldom showed himself tothe public, | Free oS RL SPS harm, and he did so, because his life was the only barrier between the Republic and poss!- ble anarchy. Mr. Lincoln was not a recluse by any means. He frequently exposed himself un- necessarily to danger because he desired to freed Officials’ tram , and take his accustomed walks in the open air. Pres- ident James Buchanan was an unpretentious entleman while in the White House, but was requently seen on the streets x with intimate friends, although he seldom walked from th House, driving. ing poll- tics. Mr. hur, when he took his occa- sional walks, was always accompanied by Eugene Corvazier, the stalwart ‘‘lookout,’’ who knew cranks by intuition. At that timea good d Mke Oorvazier was hecessary, and quite often lesome fellows were laid aside by Bugene, but noth- ing was ever said in printaboutthem. There were many cranks in Washington after Guiteau. J A STORY OF CONKLIN. " Gen. Burnside was interested in the con - firmation ofa young man who had been ap- pointed by President Hayes, and Senator Conkling was making a speech against the confirmation. Burnside and Conkling were great friends, but Conkling’s a was severe and Burnside was irritated, angry and impatient, It wasinexecutive session, and Burnside constantly interrupted Conk- ling, until the great New Yorker became angry and started forthin inimitable invect- ive. The result was that Burnside made the greatest speech of his life in reply, inspite of the fact that he stammered frightfully. Coakiag warmed up to his subject and said: ‘‘Ifthis werealess important Consular of- fice lshould vote for confirmation upon the recommendation of my friend, the Senator from Rhode Island. But the mission is too important to confide to so young a man. New York Is a great commercial commonwealth, and I must consider her interests,’’ Then he launched tnto an eulogy of New York, her vast enterprises, her great mer- chants and other great men. As Burnside continued his interruptions, Mr. Conkling in- veigied against the lUttleness of Rhode Island, her little business, little territory, little men, ‘*including the men she sends to the Senate, ’”’ Burnside thereupon became furious. He said: ‘‘Mr, P-p-p-pres-id-dent, Mr. P-p-pres- id-d-dent. Oh! that I had the tut-tut-tongue of a B-b-blaine.’’ : Cicero himself could not have uttered any- thing more deeply and bitterly caustic. But, strange as it may seem, instead of his becom- ing the life-long enemy of Burnside, as would have been his feeling towards anyone else, Mr. Conkling called that evening upon Gen. Burnside and congratulated him upon having made a great speech. ° FISHBACK LEADING, Arkansas Gubernatorial Politics Growing Exciting. LITTFE Rock, Ark., April 16.—Fishback is still in the lead for the gubernatorial nomi- nation. Files is developing strength and va- rious *‘dark horses’’ are being groomed, with the intention of springing them suddenly on the convention. Next Saturday primaries will be held in Sebastian .ounty. This ig Fishback’s home county and he fs expected to carry it by a large majority. A week later primaries will be held in Logan, Franklin and Bradley Counties. The first-named are ina section of the State in which Fishbacx !s sup- posed to have great strength. The latter county isin South Arkansas, and is claimed for Files. Logan County is the home of Hon. Ben B. Chism, Secretary of State. His friends are talking of carrying the county for him as acandidate for governor, but whether the purpose will be carried intoeffect is not clear. Chism is not a candidate for the position. He declined to be acandidate for re-election, although he could have had the nomination had he signified a desire to continue in the office. He has been spoken of very favorably as good gubernatorial timber, and should Logan County give him its vote forthat position in the Democratic Convention it is generally agreed that it will be an honor worthily bestowed. He is popu- lar all over the State, and had he entered the race in earnest, stood as good chance of se- curing the nomination as any ofthe candi- dates who are now in the field. What strength he would develop asa ‘‘dark horse’’ a convention, of course, cannot be fore- told, NOT A SURE THING FOR ANY ONE. Southwest Arkansas seems to be inclined to Support the candidacy of Hon. Asa Morgan of Union County. This gentleman is one of the brainiest menin the State. He is well educated and has a splendid record, both as a Confederate soldier, a public officer and a private citizen. Thus far he has given no sign as to whether or not he would accept the nomination if tendered him. Unless he per- emptorily declines to make the race he will goto the convention with the delegations from a majority of the counties in his section of the State instructed for him. The friends of Files claim that there is quite a movement in Eastern Arkansasin favor of his (Files) candidacy. The gubernatorial contest is somewhat complicated by the candidacies of the vari- ous aspirants for the minor State offices. Of course, each candidate desires to have his home county instract for him and noone else, Withthe hope of furthering his own chances forthe nomination when the dele- gates have assembied inconvention. This is another cause which makes the outcome as to the first place on theticket doubtful. It would appear from present indications, that none of the candidates for Governor will go into the convention with enough votes, 265, to secure the nomination on the first ballot, and the result ofa prolonged balloting ora dead-lock is something which cannot even be conjectured. CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS. Next to the governorship the contest tn the six congressional districts is exciting public attention. Inthe First District since Hon. W. H. Cate has expressed the intention of retiring from Congress at the expiration of his present term, several candidates have loomed up. Hon. P. D, McCollough of Mart- anna has announced his candidacy. Heisa lawyer of acknowledged ability, and is very popular throughout the @istrict. Hon. T. E. Stanley of Augusta will, it is under- stood, enter the race. He is well known, having served anumber of terms in the State Legislature and filled other posi- tions of public trust.. He was a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1882. It is ex- pected that there will be other candidates, and as the district has a safe Democratic ma- ority of over 4,000, there is no doubt but that t will be ably represented in the Fifty-third Congress. In the Second District Hon. OC. R. Breckin- ridge is a candidate for re-election and is op- posed by Hon. J. J. Sumpter of Hot Springs. Breckinridge opened his canvass the past week and will speak at all the principal oints in every county in the district, Sump- er has been actively at work. Friends of both these gentlemen are sanguine as to the result when the nominating convention is called on to decide between them. In the Third District Hon. Thomas CC. Mc- Rae is also a candidate for re-election, his opponent being Hon. A. H. Sevier. The con- test between them is becoming Very spirited, It is generally conceded that Hon. W. L, Terry of the Fourth District will have no Democratic opponent, this being his first term and the custom being to give members two terms, The fight in the Fifth District between Hon, 8. W. Peel, who is seeking re-election, and Iverson Jones and Hugh Dinsmore is grow- ingin interest. Peel is makinga strenuous effort to secure another term, and his friends claim he will win. In the Sixth District the candidates are slow in gettiog into the feild. Hon. W. P. Fletcher of Lonoke, Col. R. H. Crockett of De Witt, Col, Nellof Batesville and Col.

Craig is ‘*mentioned’’ very per- Sistently by his Illinois friends as a possible candidate for the presidency on the Demo- cratic ticket. If hednce gets fairly in the race it is claimed he will not be a ridiculous figure nor a competitor to be sneered at, He won his position on the bench after having engaged In the practice of law twenty years, and was ele cted in a district that had a ma- jority of 8,000, and each time he has been re- elected with an increased me jority. The present condition of affairs in this State has led the Lemocrats of the military tract to venture the suggestion that Ju raig would makea strong candidate, hen the objection ts raised that he has not a national reputation it is recalled that ex-President Cleveland was an obscure man and that his Career up to the time he was pushed forward by Buffalo politicians*® was not so promisin as Judge Craig’sisnow. The latter is oneo the best known men inthe State, and hasa somewhat phenomenal record. He repre- sents the Fifth District onthe bench. It isa strong Republican district, but the Judge is returned in spite of his Democracy. He has an honorable record, and his friends do not doubt he is of presidential size.. The little group of faithful ones are not doing much for im, but they will be on hand to take ad- vantage of any accident. RELIGIOUS MATTERS.

A DIRTY 8C AMP. New York Ladies Annoyed bya Soiler of Stockings. NEW YORK, April 16.—The latest addition to notorious cranks is ‘‘Jack the Stocking Soiler,’’ a well-dressed individual who makes the scene of his operations the down-town stairway of the Highty-first street station of Ninth Avenue Elevated Railroad. His game is to follow ladies half way up the stairs and throw a quantity of some colorless, stinging liquid beneath their skirts. His victims are always too frightened to look back &nd get a description of the rascaland when the reach the walting- room they fina that the stu has evaporated, leaving neither stain nor odor behind it, but a painful irritation where it has touched the flesh. The latest victim is the pretty sister-in-law of a prominent down- town business man, who was splashed with the liquid one afternoon this week. She says that just before she reached the stairway a man stepped across the street with a smirk on his face, evidently intended for her. She indignantly tuunedher head away, and be- fore she had reached the first landing a burn- ing liquid was thrown just above her shoe- tops. She was tooterrified to look back at her assailant. Two angry gentlemen, with cow- hides in their coat- pockets, watched the station afternoon and evening for the next two days, but saw nothing of the fellow, For St. John’s Hospital.

New York, April 16.—It is now a pretty well assured fact that this city will have next October in commemoration of Columbus a monster celebration, beside which even the Washington Inaugural Centennial of a few years ago will seemrather small. The pro- gramme covers three days and is most elab- orate. The fact that it has been laid before the Committee of Ceremonies of the Colum- bian Exposition and by them before the Board of Control, which adopted its recom- mendations by aunanimous voice, assures successful performance ofthe scheme. Del- more Elwell, secretary atthe Eastern head- quarters of the World’s ColumDian Ex position in this city, returned yes- terday from Chicago. While there he appeared before both the Committee on Cere- monies and the Board of Control, and spoke at length of the large and growing sentiment in the Past that the discovery of America by Columbus should be celebrated at New York by some grand ceremony and a magnificent pageant. Membersof the Board of Control immediately appointed a committee of five gentlemen to make all the arrangements for the celebration in this city in accordance with the desires of the Spanish and Italian societies. The programme is that on Saturday, Oct. 8, there shall bea grand spectacular pageant, or street parade, illustrating in ali possible phases ‘‘modern progress.’’ This parade will be civic, industrial and military. It is roposed to invite all the civic societies of the Middle, southernand New England States, also fire department organizations, the mill- tary and trades unions from all over the country. Labor willespectally be invited to show its numerical strengih, and the trades will be requested, sofaras lies within their means, to provide decorated floats upon which craftsmen will illustrate their trades, In addition there will be the Grand Army of the Republic, Order of Cincinnatl, Loyal Legion, all secret orders, foreign societies and public Sunday School children from all over the State. The monster procession, it is planned, shall be reviewed at various points by the Prest- dent of the United States, the Governors of this and other states, the Mayors of this and neighboring cities, and the. leading dignita- ries of the World’s Columbian Exposition and the societies which participate in the pageant. Sunday, Oct. 9 will be a day of praise and astors of the city churches will be requested to prepare ser- mons fitting the occasion. On Monday morning, Oct. 10, will occur the pageant and procession of 14,000 of our Span- shand Spanish-American and Mexican fel- low citizens, dressed in the beautiful and characteristic Spanish costumes of the fif- teenth century, under the direction of Imre Kiralfy, who has been employed by the Spanish societies to manage the display. This will be a most beautiful and gorgeous procession. It isto be reviewed by representatives of the courts of Spain and Italy and all the distin- uished reviewers of the procession of Oct. 8. This morning parade will be followed in the afternoon bythe unveiling of the statue of Columbus in Central Park, presented to this city by the Italian residents. Hereitis de- signed to have orations in Italian, Spanish and English, and it is expected that all the rominent people who will have gathered in he city will attend. Later in the afternoon there will be a grand choral festival and ban- quet. On the evening of this day ten great excur- sion trains, running at ten minutes headway, willleave the Grand Central Depot for Chi- cago, arriving there onthe evening of Oct. ll. These trains will be esters by the Gov- ernors of the Kasternand Middle States and their staffs, Mayors of cities, Eastern Com- missioners, officers and members of the Spanish and Italian societies and such other ople as can be accommodated. It is be- ‘lieved that at least 5,000 people will avail themselves of this opportunity to visit the dedication of the Fair buildings, and that the entire lot of trains will form a triumphal pro- cession between the two great cities in the United States, andthat hundreds of thous. ands of people will gather to seethem pass. It is hoped that Chauncey M. Depew and Ool. Ingersoll will go on this excursion and de- liver orations at the dedication ceremonies.

The Auction Season Opened on Castle- man Avenue-—Prices Obtained Under the Hammer—A Long List of Sales Reported by the Agents. A heavy business was done in real estate gain last week, notwithstanding almost continuous rainfalls and lowering clouds. All classes of property is in demand, the * sales in high caste residence sites having been exceptionally good, both for investment and improvement. The cheaper grade of home sites have not been selling quite so briskly for thereason that most of this low-price property being in the outlying and suburban districts the weather has been too unfavor- able for . its inspection. Last week the sales, as shown by deeds filed for record, foot up $2,109,641. Following were some of the heavier pur- chases during last week: Charles G. Stifel bought the premises, No. 413 North Fourth street for $50,000. The Lindell Railway Co. purchased 551x155 feet at the southwest corner of Fairfax and Newstead avenues for $21,500. Ashbel L, Fields invested $42,000 on Lake avenue, north of Portland place. W. T. Haydock made a $49,000 purchase of For- est Park place ground. August Gebner and others bought the Oehler tract at Normandy for $40,000. J. L. Royston paid $500a foot for vacant ground at the southwest corner of Olive and Twenty-first.

AGENTS’ REPORTS, Just as suggested in these columns on Thursday last, the buyers. at Hammett-An- derson-Wade’s Castleman avenue auction had things theirown way yesterday after- noon. There were no speculators or heavy buyers on the ground. The bidders were nearly all single lot buyers, and they got the ground fronting on a Telford street and good granitoid sidewalks, sewers, water and gas at an average of less than $31 a foot. During one stage of the bidding Mr. Wade made the announcement that he would guarantee to anyone buying in the block where the sale was progressing a profit of 10 per cent on any or all _ the _ %Iots they bought there, providing the mayer would agree to divide his gains equally with the firm. This was a very safe proposition for purchasers to embrace, but it had prac- tically no effect. Good judges of values were absent from the sale. The people present appeared to attach very little importance to the character of the public improvements, and they did not seem to consider the fact that the property was accessible to the bus i- ness center over two lines of rapid transit, the Fourth street cable road on Grand avenue, and the Market street electric on ‘ower Grove averue. However, the tale was permitted to go on, and when the sacrifice was ended, 4,218 feet of ground had been solid for an aggregate of $128,996.18. The greatest consolation the firm can get out of the results of the auction lies in the fact that it yetowns 1,000 feet of ground on Castleman avenue which will doubtless selireadily at very much higher prices now that so many people have bought to build on that street. Following are the detalls of the sale: Sales in city block 4945, being on the south side of Castleman avenue, between Vande- venter and Lawrence: Lotsland 2 to Chas.

Several of the leading building association Secretaries and stockholders have been at- tendinga convention held at Chicago last week for the purpose of organizing a United States League out of the State Leagues rep.- resented in the meeting. Judge Seymour Dexter of New York, who has taken great tn- terest inthis matter, was made chairman and ae S. Rosenthal of Cincinnati Secre- tary. It developed inthe convention that there are now 7,000 building associations in this .country representing acapital of $405,. 000,000. The idea was to bind the leagues, representing these various associations, ina closer bond for the general good. Tothat end it is proposed to holda World’s Building Association League at the Columbian Exposi- tion next year. Arrangements to this end have been undertaken now, and will doubt- less be carried to success. The Missouri League will hold a grand sy of its members next Friday evening in Hall No, 4, O44 Fellows’ Building. The following well-known gentlemen will address the as- semblage: Mr. Carl Moller, President Glad.- stone Building & Loan Association, topic: ‘*The Ideal Building & Loan Association ;’’ Mr. C. H. Sampson, President of Famous Building Association, whose topic will be ‘*The Ideal Director;’’ Mr. J. F. McMaster, President Centennial Building & Loan Asso- cfation, topic: ‘‘The Ideal Secretary;’’ Mr. L. Hild, President Mississippi Building & Loan Association, topic: ‘‘The Ideal Stock- holder.’’ Real Estate Building & Loan Assoctation, No..1, atits regular monthly meeting made one loan of $1,600, at 50 per cent premium, to builda six-room brick house on St. Louis avenue, near Newstead avenue. This asso- ciation has its funds placed yet four months in advance, but can always accommodate borrowing members, or outsiders, with loans on good and ample seturity, as the associa- tion has $6,000 In the treasury now to loan out. A new sertes of 1,000 shares 1s to be offered for sale by thé July meeting at $2 per share of $400, net par value of share. Real Estate Building & Loan Association, No. 2, held its regular monthly meeting and made loans tothe extent of $14,240 at 25 per cent. Hxed premium, mostly for building purposes. Committees on Real Estate re- ported favorable for an increased loan of $240, which was approved bythe board. The as- sociation will take up a $20,000 collateral note indorsed by the old board, leaving the asso- ciation owing bank but $7,000 out of $40,000 owed one year ago. Real Estate Building & Loan Association No, 3, held its regular monthly meeting anc loaned out $13,800 at ifs fixed premium of 8314 per cent, mostly to build homes. Committees recommended eight loans, which were ap- proved by the board, amounting to $16,800. To meet their loans the directory have ar- ranged to porrow $10,000 from bank, the bal- ance of the funds the association has on hand. This association is but ten months old and has loans aggregating $78,500 and has 1,800 shares in force of instaliment stock and )shares paid up in full,amounting to $6,000, which bears 6 per cent interest, payable semi-annually. Real Estate Building & Loan Association, No. 4, held its first regular meeting to loan its funds, and sell the balance of shares on hand. The board loaned out $15,450, mostly buliding loans. Six hundred shares were sold at this meeting of instalment stock, and 150 shares were paid up in full, aggregating $4,500, which bears6 per cent interest, pay- able semi-annually, and can be cashed upon thirty days’ written notice with interest to date.

Shaffner, Geo. D. Fisher, Thos. Roach, J. W. Peoples. The success ofthe association fs well assured, as its board of weil-informed business men and experienced bullding as- sociation dlrectors have arranged to borrow $20,000 forthis association, in orderto start the company with success and profit to its members after its first month’s business. The Shoe & Leather has issued its forth ser- tes of stock. Oscar Zakrzewiski, the sec retary, says money isin great demand. ST. LOUIS HONORED, Messrs. J. W. Bergfeld and A. R. Scholl. meyer, who were appointed delegates from the Missouri Building Association League to the Chicago Convention of Bullding and Loan Association Leagues, returned Saturday morning from Chicago, the other delegates, Messrs. Bogard, Davis and Manning, remain- ing there tor two days longer, and report that the convention was an immense suc- cess. It was the inauguration ofa new erain the popularity and usefulness of building and loan associations. The United States National League of Building Associations was organ- ized and permanent officers elected as fol- lows. President, Hon. Judge Seymour Dex- ter, New York; First Vice-President, David H. Stewart,St. Louis; Second Vice-President, Judge J. ©. Royce, Indiana; Third Vice- President, Hon. W. C. Eldridge, Massachu- setts; Treasurer, J. C. Lindsay, Michigan; Secretary, B. C. Vasen, Illinois; Assistant Secretary, A. L. Ferree, Iowa. Executive Committe—J. Coglin, Massachu- setts; J. W. Bergfeld, St.Louis; M. J. Brown, Pennsylvania; Judee M. Winters, Ohio; Julius Stern, Illinois; G. R.Brown, Arkansas; M. E. Denny, Ilowa;C. M. Sanders, Minne- sota;S. M. Leonard, Michigan; Judge C. L. Durack, New York;R. H. Kelsey, Indiana; M. E. Tobin, California. World’s Fair Committee—Julius Stern, Chicago; Geerge W. Davis, St. Louis; Judge Royce, Indiana; W. CC. Eldridge, Massa- chusetts, and Judge Dexter, New York. The St. Louls delegates are highly pleased with the reception they received, and partic- ularly with the fact that President Stewart of the State League was unanimously chosen First Vice-President of this league of leagues, and two members of its Executive UCom- mittee, Messrs. Bergfeld and Davis, were given places on important committees in the United States League. When the able character of the assemblage at Chicago 18 considered, as wellasthe prominence ofthe men/who there represented every State from New York to California, about 160 being pres- ent, the local association should feel flattered in carrying off such distinguished honors. ‘the National Bullding and Loan Associations were severely scored by Judge Royce and Brown of Pennsylvania, and the conventicn by its unanimous vote supported the views of these gentlemen and publicly condemned the system of business that the Nationals had adopted. Arrangements were perfected looking toward establishing building asso- ciation quarters in the World’s Fair Bulid- ing, and it was agreed to hold a convention in 1893 during the progress of the Worid’s Fair, when itis anticipated more than 1,000 delegates from building associations will be present, — REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS, ALLEN’S ADDITION—42 ft.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sumbbay, Spril 12, 1882. ne ee | _, . — “BULLYING THE BULLS. —— THE BEARS IN FULL CONTROL OF PHE WHEAT MARKET. Corn Shows Little Action—Whet Has Been Done in Cotton and Flour-—The Speculative Markets Reviewed—Gos- sip From the Floor and Street. The effect of the Government low-condition crop report was surprisingly small and fleet- ing,on Monday May wheat sellingat 87%c and July at 88%ec and on the following day May was down to 83%c and July to 78lac. Wednesday sawa reaction to 85%c for May and Sic for July, on the late and unreasonable weather inthe Northwest, but the effect of this was as slight as the Government report, and yesterday May soldat 8%4c and July at 78%c. The close was 8%c for May and 78%4@ tc for July, declines from the close of the preceding Saturday of 24.@2%c. respectively. The fluctuations in prices shown above attest how lively the markets were. but the gen- eral tendency of prices and the latest figures how thoroughly bearish sentiment outweighed the bullish conditions. The absence of outside specula- tion andthe fact that plunging professional talent is on top the market is what handicaps the long side. Ordinarily such a condition as 81.2 for winter wheaton Aprilland the delayed seeuing in the Northwest would have bulled wheat furiously, whereas this past week the reactions on these usually strong influences were comparatively feeble and short-lived. The few shorts whocould be scared out went out very rapidly and there was no buying for long account, to speak of, so that when Pardridge of Chicagoand Kauf- mann of St. Louis began selling there was really nobody to take their heavy offerings and smash went the market, and then came out the long wheat bought on the advance, thus adding to the weight upon the market. Another weighty influence is the disinclination to go short much wheat at present prices. Manya trader, who is bearish at heart anc expects to see much lower prices even than these, yet is afraid to sell wheat below 80c soearly in the seasoh, and there are many only too ready to tie on to an advance if anything comes along that seemingly warrants higher prices. This is one thing that ailed cotton from below 9c to the low price it struck this:year. The Northwest has been the bug- bear of the wheat bear for some time lately, as weather conditions have .been so @xtremely bad and the season so late that seeding was greatly delayed. Some reports from that section were simply awful, yet the first day—yesterday—the weather changes for the better comes astatement from the McCor- mick Harvesting Co.,a presumably reliable authority, that wheat seeding has been done and the acreage increased 10 percent. And other advices are that the ground was neverin better shape to receive the seed than itis now. The govern- ment figures have been lost sight of, as there is no doubt atall of the wonderful improve- ment in winter wheat that has taken place since Aprill. Every report, almost, by word of mouth or by mail, or wire that has been heard of late confirms this andthat a much higher condition will be seen on May than on April is assured. As for Europe, the for- eigners were not in it, except it may De, probably, some who wereand sorry for it. There has been no improvement in the for- eign demand nor increase in the seaboard clearances to inspire the trade on this side with hope that Europe would wipe out the American surplus this season, and with their improving or good crop prospects, large sup- plies and depressed markets any chance fora material increase seems problematical. France, which has beenone of the heaviest buyers this season, can hardly be expected to take much more, with that prohibitive import duty going into effect Junel. Thesmall stock here and the ur- gency shown at times by the buyers of spot wheat might have more effect was there any large shortage in May, but that has been greatly reduced and the active speculation socenters nowin July, that the May ghost has apparently disappeared fromthe scene. This May ghost, like every other specter, has never yet hurt anyone, except those who pulled the string, yet every year it is brought outand made much of, both by bulls and bears. = Nothing really new can be said of the cash wheat market. Receipts were still smal!, consisting of 133,062 bu against 108,747 bu the week before and 143,356 bu for corresponding week last year, yet | yesterday morning’s stock of 646,000 bu—118,000 bu was No, 2 red—shows only 23,000 bu reduction so far forthe week, Receivers promise a larger movement to market in the near future, claiming the country is offering to sell and ie selling more freely, but this has been promised so long that the actual increase must be seen before the trade will believe it. A scarcity of desirable grades has checked business to a considerable ex- tent. Orders were here from Europe and from out- side mills, but-it was seldom thatthe kind of wheat wanted could be obtained, and then only in a limited amount. Loéal millers were small and indifferent buyers, the loss to themin grinding at present prtees for wheat, not inclini them to run their mills, or if they did to only half time orcapacity. There was a good 6c aecline in the price of cash wheat, yester- day No. 2 red selling at 74¥gc and No. 3 red at 80c. = al * There may be plenty of corn back in the country, and from the reports of. traveling men and advices received by commission houses there undoubtedly is alarge amouat held by farmers, but the present movement, and in fact the movement for some time past, would not indicate that such wasithe case. To the beastly weather of this spring that rendered country roads impassable, and to spring work, where such was possibile, fs this light movement largely due. Itisalso stated that most the farmers now holding to their corn are well able financially s0, and that present prices do attractions enough to induce et) 8=soégO, The past week’s of 197,165 bu were the smallest yet, running 167,500 bu behind the week before and nearly 400,000 bu less than same week last year. But while the income was so small, fhe outgo was exceptionally heavy, and yesterday mofning’s stock of 1,600,000 bu was 737,- 000 bu decrease so far for the week, No. 2 having fallen off 670,000 bu and now 1,304,000 bu. This was through the large barge shipments for European account. Sosides the heavy sale made the previous week of 500,000 bu, exporters this past week took 275,000 bu more and other orders were received, though at pepeee limited below the market here. Outside this: export demand there was avery fair order inquiry, supplemented by the regular local ae. There was enough to keep upa right firm cash marketand advance the price to 37ige for No. 2, 36lec for No. 3 and 38c for No. 2 white, but yesterday No. Z had droppea back to 36\¥c and No. 3 to 36%c. Speculation was tame and uninteresting. Wheat gave the trade about all the action they wanted and light receipts and heavily reduced stocks checked any inclination there might have been to 6e)}1 without developing any amount of buying. May did sell up to 365¢c and July S96%@37c on Thursday, but at close of yesterday there were sellers ai 36c for May and 364ec for duly. . * * There is no change of importance to make in flour, unless it be that business was just a little better. The situation in general, however, is as unsettled as ever, owing to the nervousness and uncertainty of the action of Wheat. The occasional flurries in wheat at times give hope of an improvement, and make it appear that the future is not ins bad shape as some would make it, but these hopes are in- variably knocked sky high just about the time the flour market begin to recover. The domes- tictrade is buying only enoughto supply current needs, as all classes of buyers seem to prefer to hold off forthe present. The belief prevails thata fur- ther reduction in prices is by no means improbable, or at least that there is not much danger of any ma- terial advance. On the other hand millers, are slow to make further concessions, as they are unable to replace their supplies of wheat and claim that present prices are unremunerative. The market is certainly in a most eee gp tet | condi- tion, viewed from the standpoint of either buyer or seller. The export trade showed some little im- rovement, due more to the break in freight rates ake and rail, than to an increase in the demand from the other side, and about 20,000 sacks were shipped yia Baltimore. There is now a steady trade with Cuba, as the large stacks hela there for some time are gradually being reduced, and buying is now more regular. Both mene pte and shipments were larger the past week than the week before. The receipts were 32,291 bbis, against 27.406 the week before, and the shipments 37,162 bbis, against 383 . There was a big reduction inthe output of mills, only 36.900 bbis being turned out last week, inst 41,150 the week before. The Piant mill which was destroyed by fire some time ago, starte up again last Tuesday, with a daily capacity of 1,200 bbis. Standard brands of patent now quotable at .80@4.40, extra fancy at $4.05@4,10. The me- jum and low grades are nominal at $3.65@3 75 for fancy, $3.20@3.30 for choice and $38@3.15 for fam- il aia * . . Cotton has shown some matked indications durin the week, of having moved out of the old rut an that those who have had confidencein better pricos have at least receiyed some encouragement. Spots in the local market have been more active. The sales have increased and an advance of c been established. Futures at New York are about 14 points higher than a week o and the sentiment of that market seems to be less bearish. Private adyices from the South indi- cate some reduction in acreage, butist is too early to definite estimate of what may is certain that two-thirds of the spring, | acreage that present private information indicates, foreign buyers will not be slow to take advantage of the situation and a good active demand may e expected for . our resent large stocks which have been a burden to the trade during the past season. In this event a marked improvement prices may be looked for, and when once fairly started will continue during the entire season. As Cotton is unlike all other speculative articles produced in this country when prices move either up or down, the reactions are very light. Forthe reason that this country pro- duces the bulk of the cotton supply for the world, and the comparatively small territory adapted to its growth makes its relatively easy to approximate the size of the crop. * * * John Wahl Commission Co. review the lead sit- nation in theircircular: Sellers of pig leac the past ver, have experienced littie diffi disposing of All the metal they cared toat $4. either present or future delivery. Some few scat- tering sales were made at theclose for special de- livery at $4.07leand $4.10. Freights to the sea- board are still declining, asis usual at this season of the year, and this has enabled Western sellers to place considerable’ lead in the y on practically as favorable terms as could be had here. Our market closes 4.05 to 4.07% bid and 4 10 asked; Chicago nominally 4.12% and New York 4.27%. We should not be surprised to witness a further elevation in values during the ensuing week. Stocks are light; productions show no eggs and consumers asthe advance progresses grow friend- lier toward the metal from day today. Spelteris as scarce as hens’ teeth; recent large pur- chases for export bave relieved Western peoawoars of their surplus and many ave sold their product to go abroad as far ahead as July: this necessarily means that American consum- ers who were not fortunate enough to load up a few weeks ago, when this metal was still in the doll- drums, willnow have to pay rather dear for their action. Spelter has advanced within a fortnight from $4.20 to 4,45, which is the practical value at close here. Chat From ’Change. Some one said that the successful running of the wheat market by Pardridge of Chicago and Kauft- man of St. Louis was a triumph of mind over matter. It was a very serious matter for the bulls who traded up above 90c, **Why did Harry never marry?’’ asked a lounger in the waiting corner, as a certain ‘accomplished and graceful broker passed by. And the cynic of the floor replied, ‘*Harry_prob- ably did not care about paying for two beers.’’ . a * .

A de- crease of 128.900 bu wheat. 520,650 bu corn and an increase of 63,400 pkgs flour; 198.000 bu rye and 193,260 bu oats. 2 = a One solitary unfavorable crop report was found yesterday among the mass of testimony on the other side. Atraveiing man wrote that he had been all through Saline County this Mtate, and saw but one good field of wheat. The plaut was small and thin on the ground and he could not see where, even with good weather, athree-quarter crop could be raised. With dry weather, he says the crop wili be as poor asin 1851. * a The action first taken by the Cotton Exchange and afterwards indorsed by the Merchants’ Exchage regarding Statistian Dodge’s position as a regulator ofthe markets of the world, is being received with high favoreverywhere. It is probable that other commercial bodies will take similar action, and that Secretary Rusa of the Agricultural Department wilil beasked by the erain and cotton tradeoff this country to restrain the too voluminuos utterances of his subordinate. If Mr. Dodge would confine his crop report to a simplestatement of facts, such as giving the condition of * the crops and the averaged sown or planted, as made up from the returns of his correspondents, imstead of attempt- ing totell how much graimtor cotton there is back in the country, how much is or will be available , his statement woull be received with more confi- dennce by thet ade.; Facts and not guesses are wanted by business men, = a = The secretary of the Grand Forks (N. D.) Chamber of Commerce writes that no one knows toacer- tainty that wheat has been injured in the stack, and, while the wheat in the shock is Injured more or less, farmers say thatitisin surprisingly good condition, all things considered. Threshing has commenced in the vicinitv of Rolla and Canda and shock wheat is turning out better than that placediinstack. As for the statements of peor seedings, the facts are that the unusual dampness of the present season is a benefit to the whole State, There is great rejoicing that the drought is a thing of the past. It means thatfora cycle of years crops will be successfully raised as far Westas the longi- tude of Minot and a great wave of immigration and development for the State. A much larger per- centage of ground is unplowed this season than usual. which means less seeding, but the ground be- ing moist the grain which is seeded will come up more rapidly than it would duringa dry spring. At this date the outlook forthe whole State of North Dakota is withuvut a single unfavorable feature. » * * Prime’s crop summary: Ontarlo— W heat strong and healthy: never looked better.

In Scotland agricultural labor was stopped bya violent snowstorm early in the week; since thenthe atmosphere has been dry and snow is disappearing slowly. Although some- what impeded by unsettied weather, tillage work in France is being carried on with reasonable dispatch. Recent wheat crop reports are reassuring and it is believed that the q@amage caused by frost is less than was anticipated, The early sown wheat and rye in North Germany look well, but in Mecklenburg and Poms7sen's tus appear- ance of the plants is, not nealthy, but fine warm weather would remedy this defect. In the western part of the Empire the wheat, in some localities un- protected by snow, has suffered from severe frost. Vur Belgian correspondent describes the weather as spring-like and favorable to the wheat plant. In Northern Holland the outiook is satisfac- tory, but in other parts of the Netherlands several of the autumn-sown fields require reseeding. In Hungary lately the days have been sunny and dry, and as no night frosts were experienced the wheat pliant is reported to be looking exceedingly well. Both Spain and Italy are favored with good crop prospects. In Southern Rus- sia milder weather and abundant moisture in the land are expected to produce better results in azima and rye than seemed probable a few weeks ago. However, on account of the reduced acre- age, Russia cannot reap an average crop even under propitious circum- stances. ‘he quantity of wheat afloat for the United Kingdom Is not of itself large enough to weigh down the market or check heaithy business; the real trouble is to be found in the ponderous increment of our stocks of imported. breadstuffs, representing as they do fully 16,000,000 bu above the normal ac- cumulation of seven months of the cereal year, The accumulation of foreign wheatin French ports is about 20,000,000 bu compared with 3,712,000 bu in 189] and 2,396,000 bu in ,1890.

V. Smith ofthe M. D. T. Refrigerator line visited this place to-day and was the victim of mistaken iden- tity. much to his discomfiture. It so happened that a veterinary surgeon of portly form and who, like Col. Smith, sports a silk tile, was due here on the same train, but failed to put in an appearance; so no seoner had the Colonel alighted fromthe ’bus than his trouble began. A horny-handed granger grasped him warmly by the hand, and, after inquiring after his health, said’ to the Colonel that he wanted him to take a wart off of his mule’sear. To say the Colonel was astonished does not express it, and the granger was not long in finding out that he had made a mis- take, but the Colonel was besieged from all quarters, and only succeeded in eluding his would-be custom- ers by retreating to a private room in the hotel, where he remained until the departure of the north- bound train for St. Louis. * * * The mails are now burdened with letters to fruit commission merchants from fifty to 100 different shipping points inthe South from parties seeking positions as solicitors and agents.

St. Pouis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, April 17, 188 2, 4 FINANCIAL REVIEW. A Wall Street’s Sentiment’s Effect on the bh. urket. epeertiem HOPE FOR THE RICHMOND TERMINAL _ REORGANIZATION PLAN. The Coal Combination Still Strong— ’ Heavy Transactions in Reading—New England Way Up-—A Notable Rise in Lake Shore, Vanderbilt’s and Grangers —A Great Activity in the Money and Stock Market, New York, April 16.—The changes in the Past week have been changes of sentiment rather than changes of values. Prices of stocks are not to-day materiaily different from those of a week ago, but the sentiment “of the street is very much changed from that of a week ago. Uncertainty existed regarding the condition of the winter wheat crop, while Western freight rates were known.to be at sixes and sevens. During the past week we have seen the birth of that most perplexing of phenomena, @ Wallstreet sentiment. A Wall street senti- mentisahardthingto define. It might be calledthe belief of a majority of the mem- bers of the financial community that othermen are going to believe certain things to be so. Itis not at all necessary that each man should believe the things to be so. Itis only neces- Bary for him to believe that other men will Delieve them to be so. Put in the room traders’ terse language, a favorable senti- ment is that ‘‘the market is going higher,’’ an unfavorable sentiment is that ‘‘the market is going lower.’’ Why it is. going higher or lower they do not inquire. It is none of their affair. Unreasoning as they are thege Wall Street sentiments are ail powerful for they induce men to act, to buy orto sell, and it is buying or selling which makes prices goup or down. The so-called silver crage of the spring of 1890 was a most remarkableinstance of the power or sentiment. Not one manina hundred believed that the passing of the Silver bill of 1899 would cause suchan infla- tion of our currency as really to make the values of securities as measured by the value of money 10 to 20 points higher than they were before the passage ofthe bill. Yet note the result. The most conservative of bankers, the sagest of financiers rushed in to buy, not because they believed that the re- Bults would be as intimated above, but be- cause they belleved that other people would believe so. Hence the boom came and prices went up justas if every body had believed that there was some real reason for it. Ex- perience has taught usthat the spring sea- s0Rs when we have hada rise in the market have been much more frequent than the Spring seasons when we have not. Foreign- Ts have noticed this too. The London ancial papers have recently referred to it. Now the shallowest speculator in Wall street Knows there is no logtcal connection be- tween green buds and high prices for stocks, nor as some have put it, between Mr. Sage’s newspapering suit and a spring boom. Nevertheless, the knowledge that such a eeling exists is in itself sufficient to make men buy stocks in thespring, not because each one personally believes in the green- bud theory, but because he believes that other men will buy also, they believing in turn that other men will. Viewed in this ight Wall’ street sentiment is a thing to be carefully watched, respected and followed bythe richand by the wisest. Ifa man’s object in buying stocks is to make money out oF the rise in their values, the first and, in fact, the only point toconsider is whether other men are goingto buy them. The whole subject simmers down tothis: All the study of piuilosophers and political econ- Omists, all the research and figures of expert accountants are time and labor thrown away, except as they indicate whether men are going tobuyorsell. This, ofcourse, refers to buying for the advance in values and not to buying for the return earned on the capital. The sentiment seems certainly to be growing that within the next month prices will be higher and dealings more active. Ifsuch a sentiment is really growing it will be a powerful factor in bring- ing about that result. Until that sentiment is changed it will be useless for the cautious to pointto possibie flaws in the situation. While that sentiment lasts the _ gross earnings of Western roads may be re- duced nearly to the expenses of operation. Net earnings may show heavy decreases as compared with a year ago.. Yet the man who ooops his eye on these real facts and acts ac- ordingly will grow poor, while the _ senti- mentalists will growrich. Itis also to be eset. that the record ofthe birthota sentiment is news of the greatest possible im- ortance. Itistooearly now to say whether 6 sentiment will survive its birth. But certainly the strength and activity of of the stock and bond markets since Wednes- , rigbt through the holidays, pointed in that direction. It may be, as the optimists eve, that the ease of money will at last exert its expected influence and that the next month will see stirring times in Wall street. Still no one should forget how many times the expected fails to._materialize. The prospects for the success of the Richmond Terminal reorgani- gation plan seem now to be brighter than heretofore. A majority of the Richmond Terminal issues has been deposited with the Central Trust Co. and sufficient East Tennes- Bee stock to make with that owned by the Richmond Terminal a majority What the effect of the application ofthe East Tennes- see stockholders for a receiver will be it is impossible to say now, but Richmond Terminal seemed to foreshadow unfavorable effects. The remarkable trength of the Coal stocks has added mucht soOthe hopeful sentiment of the street. The coal combination shows no signs of weak- ness. On thecontrary, it seems to be gain- ing strength every day. New evidences of its effects in the direction of advancing prices and reducing expenses are coming to the street constantly. The Coal stocks are very bad nests, too, for bears to hibernate on and some old bruins, who have been lying on them for months, have waked up and leaped of during the past week, asthey felt the ground rising under them, THE RESUMPTION OF BUSINESS. Business was resumed on the Stock Ex- change to-day after the holiday with a re- newal of the strength that characterized the late dealings on Thursday. There was an absence of both quotations and orders from _London as the Exchange there was closed, but woot ple pete eee 3 this there was a fair amount of trading for Saturday and a few stocks, notably Keading and New England, were actively dealt in. The transactions in Reading surpassed those in any other stock and reached the large total of 107,200 shares. The advancein Reading was equal to 15 per cent and the stock closed right near the top on rumors of some.favorable news in the early future. Among the other coalers Jersey Centrai was Nkewise very strong and pete about 142 or nearly allof the dividend. ckawanna, however, lagged, closing % lower in the day, an@ Delaware & Hudson left offat a decline of 4%.

There was some irregularity in the movement of prices; such as was elsewhere in the market. Generally, the tone was strong, notably so in Richmond Terminal stocks and one or two dividend payers like the Burlington & Quincy and Lake Shore. London, of course, did nothing, but much of the buying was based peotsesstly on the expectation of forelgn support next week. Thereisa strong conviction in the financial community that next week will af- ford a critical test of the market. In other words it is believed that the forces by which the movement of prices In near futures will be controlled must within the next few days reveal themselves unmistakably. This belief is not perhaps unreasonable. Money an call was nominally 2 per cent, with nothing doing to-day. Time money was dull and inactive generally. ‘The demand islight.

New York, April 16.—Hubbara & Price’s Cotton Circular says: ‘‘Cotton Exchanges in New York, New Orleans and Liverpool are all closed to-day. In Liverpool the market will not reopen until Wednesday morning. In New Orleans and New York trading will be resumed on Monday.

Liverpool dis- patches advise that thereis a prospect that the cotton lockout will be of short duration, and that the number of employes pledged to the lockout will continue work, paying a fine to the federation fund for thelr breach of pledge. MONEY MATTERS. —_— - Local Review of the Situation in Finan- cial Circles. The money situation if anything is easier during the past week and the banks who have made arrangements when money was not so easy to pay interest onlarge deposits are at a decided disadvantage. Where the rates have been high they find some difficulty in finding investments that will yield profit- able returns. While the general public do not seem to appreciate the advantages of the present low rates of interest there seems to be an enormous spring trade in progress which should absorb at least part of the large surplus, but speculation in everything is very light and the low prices ofall the leading staples require less money to carry them. Some time loans are being made at6 to 7 per cent; but it can be obtained on callat 5percent. Itis rumored that some funds have been offered by outsiders at a shade un- der these rates, but it cannot be obtained at the banks. Gaylord, Blessing & Co.in their circular review the Situation in New York Saturday: The stock market opened strong and higher, and ruled generally firm until the close. The callers were again the feature, a consider- able advance being made in Jersey Central aud Reading. The lattér stock is gaining many friends asreports come in from day to day of changes made in the management of the new consolidation looking towards economical management. During the last two days a lot of short interest has been cov- ered in this stock, the demand being supplied by insiders, and yet the stock closes to-day at top prices. The Vanderbilts and Whisky Trust were also strong, while New iEngland sugarand cordage ciosed low- er. Richmond Terminal securities were more active and higher on the improved outlook for the success of the reorganization plan. The time for depositing securities has been extended until the 19th inst.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM THE GREAT CARBONATE CAMP. An Excellent Showing Made by the Smelters for Maroh—-The Bohn Shaft Drowned Out-—The Breece to Resume —A New Smelter—Looal Mining Notes. LEADVILLE, Colo., April 16.—The showing for March was much better than in the pre- ceding month, the smelters having treated 21,500 tons of crude ore right here, while the amount shipped away was also considerably in excess of that shipped in February. From this 21,000 tons of crude ore the resulting bul- lion product was 2,625 tons, divided as fol- lows: Tons of bullion. 10 £28 No, of Tons of ore Arkansas Valley American Sinelier St. Louis Co 647 Kigin Smelter 240 BOGE. ci cdo cccasepeces: - 16% 21,500 2,625 Quite an amount of improvement was made in the different plants, the Arkansas Valley works having blown in five new Bruckner cylinders forthe purpose of desulphurizing the higher grades of sulphide ores; the American having blown in a new seventy- five-ton furnace, and several minor improve- ments having been effected at the other works. THE BOHN SHAFT FLOODED. In the mines the principal feature was the drowning out of the Bohn shaft, on the Star of Hope, back of the St. Louis Smelting & Refining Co.’s Works, which led to the form- ing of a combination by which the Sixth Street, Penrose and Star of Hope was put under one management, and they are all now in readiness to start to pump. In fact the Starof Hope is already at work, andthe Penrose has steam up, while two additional 80-horse- power boilers have arrived for the Sixth street shafts, and will go in at once. The Breece mine is toresume work imme- diately, contracts with the Bessemer Steel Works having been signed. This, of course, only applies to the surface deposit of hema- tite that has made this mine so well known to the manufactures of steel, but simultan- eously with the extraction of this ore, the main working shaft is to be sunk to the regu- lar Leadville contact. The sinking on the Leo is progressing fast, some 550 feet having already been accomplished, while the Mike and Starr folk are preparing for a vigorous campaign. THE CONSOLIDATED STARS, Morning and Evening Star consolidations are doing exceeedingly well and shipping about 135 tonsa day, principally, however, of ar- gentiferous iron ore. The other carbonate hill properties,notably the Big Chief and the Castle View. are ship- ping about fifty tons a day, while the Maia of Erinand Adams continue to keep up their shipments tothe normal figure of 250 tons a day, and still do a tremendous amount of development work. Ground is being broken for a new smelting plant, on the site of the original Gran smelter, and itis to have a capacity of about indtonsaday. Itis not intended, however, to treat ores, the purpose for which it isto be erected being to treat over the old slag dumps, which have been proven to carry on an average 8 percent of lead and about 10 ounces of silver to the ton in the way of bullion which can now be saved owing to the advance in metalling. The Moyer mine, belonging to the Iron Silver Mining Co., has made _ arrange- ments by which an early resumption of work and shipments will be expected. A new and powerful plant of machinery Is going up on the 8S. Small within the city limits and vigorous oor gy will ensue, Already some good ore has been found there, but the shaft will have to go deeper to catch the ore chute found inthe Elk. THE SILVER CORD TUNNEL. The Silver Cord tunnel is rapidly approach- ingcompletion, and as there is one long drift fromthe footof the main incline out toward the Mike and Star ground, it will make the tunnel the natural outlet for that property also by continuing it some distance further. The tunnel itself will be about 2800 feet in length and will be ina position to have all ores from the A. Y., Minnie and Col. Sellers dropped to its lével and run out much more economically than by the use of a hoist- ing plant. MISSOURI MINES. Weekly Review of the Joplin District— Future Prospects. JOPLIN, Mo., April 16.—Articles of incore- poration of the Regina Land & Mining Co., capital stock $50,000, have been filed for record. The incorporators are H. L. New: man, 8. I. Smith and Mary F. Smith of Jop- lin and Benj. Webster, F. G. Flannigan and C. F. Farrar of St. Louis. They will develop a portion of the Blair farm adjoining the thoagsand acre tract. McKee & McAntire havea rich mine onthe thousand acre tract. They are drifting at eighty-five feet on a fine run of lead and zinc ore. The Américan Mining Co., which holdsa lease on forty acres of the thousand acre tract, have seven shafts down and ore has been found inallof them. The company is building a steam pump shaft in. which a twenty-five foot run of ore has been found. The mine last week is credited to that of J. M. Lee & Co., who are operating on the McCoy lease ofatract of land in ’Possum Hollow owned by 8. H. H. Clark and W. H. Phelps of the Missouri Pacific Railway Co. Lee & Co. struck zinc and lead orein their shaft at 7 feet, and they sank intoitto a depth of 102 feet. A arift was started at the 100-foot level, and it has been driven south 70 feet. The drift varies in width from 20 to 35 feet, and is from 15 to 80 feet high with ore sight every- where except overhead. ‘the ore shows on all sides of the shaft all the way down to the drift and there is still ore in the bottom, The extent of the deposit can only be conjectured. The ore is most of it free and there is enough in sight to give a good output for months. W. H. Phe!ps wasinthe camp Friday and he is enthusiastic over the development. The lllinvis and Missouri Land & Zinc Co, is just completing a fine concentrating mill atits mines at East Hollow, Zincite. The company hastwo shafts showing good runs of ore. The deal for the Oswego land will be com- pleted next week. A company has been or- ganized under the laws of. the state of Illl- nois witha capital stock of $500,000 and the land will be transferred toit. The company will be bound by the terms of the deed to erect a smeltery upon the land at once. The output of ore from the mines last week amounted to 5,500,000 pounds of zinc ore and 690,000 pounds of lead valued at $75, 000. It is intimated that two Carterville compa- nies and a strong Joplin company have entered into a contract to build a smeltery in Joplin and one in Carterville to use the product of the companies’ mines, The three companies produce ore enough to supply two smelteries.of average size and their plan is entirely feasible. The ginc ore market has advanced sharply this week. Last week the top price paid was $2% perton, ‘The top price this week is $24.50. The advuince is due toa rise in the price of spelter, caused by the closing of contracts for the shipping of several thousand tons to English metal brokers. The movement of mine operators to build smelters in the dis- trict has also had its effect upon the smelters and they are disposed to loosen the screws. Lead ore has been discovered near Iconium in St. Clair County. The Pacific mine at Carthage has become a steady producer of high grade ginc ore. The Leheigh mines are still under water. The ag mee ore produced in the district is taken from these mines. Linzee, Hunter & Miller at Carthage havea working face of ooo Sam feet. Their new willis almost completed. Arich strike of lead ore has been made on the Garrison land at Webb City. A remarka- bie deposit of mineral has been discovered. The old Moseley mines south of Joplin in Newton County are being worked again. These mines have produced millions of unds of lead ore and are still far from be- f worked out. he Daisy mine on the Traup land turned in 78,290 pounds of zinc ore last weex, The Lecal Market.

Rosecrans Tells an Interesting Story of Whitelaw Reid. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. ‘‘Whitelaw Reid made me exceedingly wrothy. one time,’’ says Gen. Rosecrans, ‘‘It was during my West Virginia campaign in 1861. He wasa slender stripling, but a good and observant correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette. Permission had been given himto travel withthe army, and he wrote good letters to ‘his paper. But he was not only observant, but indisoreet. He wrote one letter to his paper in which he said substantially, this: ‘“*The people of this country are exceedingly stupid. Gen. Rosecrans has cut a swath through their country and established a military telegraph line 110 milesin length. Not one of their thousands has had sense enough to cut the line, and it would De easy as rolling off alog.’’ He meant no harm, but when the paper was laid before mel was mad enough to have sree him up totne first limb. Idon’t know why Ididn’t, Whenl called his attention to the letter he saw noth- ing wrong about it, and stoutly assured me that he was right, and that they were the stupidest fools he had ever seen or heard of. ‘*‘T said: ‘Reid, don’t you see what you have done, youfool? Yon have stood on the highest Mountain of the Alleghanies and shouted into Richmond, telling them to send some one to cut my ro lines.’ He couldn’t see it. Ithen took him to my Judge Advoeate General. Folding the paper s0 that that officer could notsee whose paper it was, l asked him to read it and give his opin- ion of it. He perused the letter, turned on his camp stooland said: ‘General, the trat- tor orgspy who wrote this should be hanged before sundown.’ Whitelaw andI walkedaway. Isaid nothing more to him. He was scared, and at last re- alized what he haddone. That night he left our lines in the rear, procured a horse and disappeared. I have never met with him since. I didnotintendtopunish him, but if he had remained I might have done 60; all of my officers were excitedly angry. It has, therefore, under all circumstances, been sur- prising to, me tnat Mr. Reid has always written so kindly of me. It would have been natural for him to have cherished resent- ment, asis usually the case with men who have made mistakes. But Mr. Reid has de- veloped inte a broad-gauged man, and prob- e4 me thanks me, in his mind, for letting im off, TrY an oyster omelette, 3¢e. Wm. G.

From the tabulations in Census Bulletin No. 161, itappears that, in addition tothe tropic and semitropic fruits and nuts grown for home and family use, there were. in the census year, 13,515 acres of almond, 677.50 of banana, 169.88 of citron, 9,864 of cocoanut, 4,477 of fig, 550 of guava, 1,862.25 of Kaki, 7,256 of lemon, 495.58 of lime, 12,180 of madeira nut, 7,007 of olive, 184,003 of orange, 2,189.50 of pineapple, 171.890f pomelo. and 27,419.50 of pecan trees, representing 658,566 bearing and 800,000 nonbearing almond trees, 577,782 bearing banana plants, 4,237 Dbear- ing and 14,110 nonbearing cit- ron trees, 123,227 bearing and 1,109,549 non- bearing cocoanut trees, 138,186 bearing and 285,201 non-bearing fig trees, 32,948 bearing and 120,529 non-bearing guava trees, 58,390 bearing and 124,522 non-bearing Kaki trees, 167,663 bearing and 498,784 non-bearing lemon trees, 19,096 bearingand 411,248 non- bearing madeira nut trees, 278,860 bearing and 331,022 non- bearing olive trees, 3,885,890 bearing and 9,705,246 non-bearing orange trees, 21,750,000 pine apple piants, 3,279 bearing and 12,867 non-bearin pomelo trees, and 214,988 bear- ing and 657,980 non- bearing pecan trees, Excluding pineapples and bananas, which are all countedas bearing plants, as they commence fruiting within a year of planting it will be noted that the average number of all non-bearing trees is about double that of the bearing trees, the product of which in the census year was, asfaras reported, val- ued at $14,116,226.59, divided as follows: Al- mond, $1,525,109.80; banana, $280,653.75; cocoa- nut, $251,271.41; fig, $607,271.76; lem- $988 , 099. 92 ; $62,496.90; ma- nut, Olive, $386, - 368.32; orange, ,099.05; pineapple, $812,159.17, pomelo $27,216and pecan §1,616,- 576.50. Onthe basis of present prices, with all the non- bearing trees in fruitage, the next census ought to showa valueof product of more than $50,000,000. As a forecast of the future growth ofthese branches of horticult- ure, in addition to the acreage already lanted, the numberof acresof landin the ‘nited States susceptible of development in plant inany one or allof the fruits and nuts named has been ascertained and the aggre- gate figures are also given.

THE VETERANS FAVOR A FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. Probability That the Decoration Day Pa- rade Will Be Abandoned and Only a March From the Barracks to the Ceme- tery Made—Among the Posts. Grand Army men are discussing with much interest the suggestion made in the Post. DISPATCH last week that St. Louis set about celebrating the Fourth of July in the good old-fashioned way. They are specially pleased with the idea of making the anniver- sary the great ‘‘American Day,’’ and of making its celebration a matter of regular recurrence as the event of the year, never on any accountto be omitted. As Grand Army men they have no desire to figure prominently in the celebration, but they say that if their appearance in line will add to the attractiveness and interest of the demon- stration, and would prove an object lesson of patriotism, they will very cheerfully turn out, at whatever personal discomfort—for many of them, it must be remembered, are not as jaunty and sprightly as they once were. Without exception, they declare a willingness to do what they can to make the affaira success. Probably the Grand Army, the Sons of Veterans and kindred societies could put from three thousand to five thousand uniformed men in the parade. Such a celebration might be ex- pected to bring multitudes of comrades from outside, and if properly worked up the city would be treated to perhaps as many as 10,000 veterans keeping step inline, Itis very likely that the new Department Commander, Comrade Whitehead of Kansas Vity, and his staff would be present with a special train load of comrades from the western part of the State. Inshort, speaking from the sol- Gier’s standpoint, the comrades believe that if the people take hold of the matter ‘*American Day’’ may be made a_ great affair, and may be developed into a festival of yearly recurrence of as much national in- terest as the autumnal festivities have be- come, The Grand Army interest in the move- ment arises from the hope of making the Fourth of July the occasion for stimulating patriotic sentiment and teaching the people something of the value of American Iinsti- tutions as having cost blood and as being of inestimable worth. MEMORIAL DAY. The general committee to arrange for Deco- ration Day will meet at the Lindell Hotel on Thursday evening to lay out a programme for that occasion. Asthe committee is subject to the instruction of the posts, it Is impossi- ble to say what the exercises will be, but itis understood that there is a strong feeling towards abolishing the long and tedious street parade, and permitting each post to get tothe Barracks by its own conveyance; the posts then forming and marching to the National Cemetery. It seems quite likely that this will be done this year, RANSOM POST. The feature of the last meeting of Ransom Post wasa paper by Comrade W. G. Hills on ‘*Me and Jimmy’’ at Chancellorvilie. Jimmy was Comrade Hughes’ horse. The story was told in a delightfully entertaining way, and beld the attention of the comrades through- out. vA, Department Commander itehead had requested Ransom Post to select a good man for chief mustering officer for the depart- ment,and the post named Comrade 8. D. Webster. Gen, Coleman was appointed to represent the post on the General Decoration Day Com- mittee. o Ransom Post has asked Commander White- head for the honor of escorting him from 8t. Louls to the Washington National Encamp- ment. HASSENDEUBEL POST. There will be another big batch of musters into Hassendeubel lost next Tuesday even- ing. Quartermaster Becker is reaching out for that silk flag offered by the Cepartment and says that if any old soldier wants to join the G. A. R., but is prevented (as many are) by loss of their discharge papers, he will se- cure their discharge from Washington .with- outexpense. He regards it the duty of every ex-soidier to join the Grand Army. COL. MEUMANN POST. Six recruits were mustered into Meumann Poston Wednesday night and proceedings otherwise were interesting. The delegates to the Department Encampment made a report, and there was great satisfaction over the department’s prize of a pair of guidons to the post for its remarkable growtnt in the first year of its existence. The event of the evening was an address by Comrade Nelson, 8. V. C. ofa postat Toron- to, Ontario. He was surprised to see so live- ly a post with an attendance of 100 0n such an inclement night. His service covered near! seven years, from 1861 to 1867. He marche under Col, Hassendeubel in the bloody Seven- teenth Missouri. Comrade Nelson said that he would join Meumann Post by card, Tickets for the Camp Jackson festival, May 8, are selling well. The various committees will meet at Koerner’s at 3 0’clock this after- noon to complete arrangements. COL. SHAW POST. Shaw Post had one application on last meeting, making five or sixrecruits for muster at the next meeting. Past Commander H. R. Taylor was ap- pointed a committee of one to confer with the general Memorial Committee for May 380, the day for decorating the graves ofthe Union dead. THAT ‘‘THREE YEARS’ POST.’’ That talk about Col. Gandolfo organizing apost com so only of three years’ men seems to havé no foundation beyond a sportive remark dropped by the Colonel one day. Afriend of Mr. Gandolfo authorized the correction that the latter is loyal to Blair Post, and proposes to stay with it. It has honored him and he proposes to give it the best service of which he is capable. WOMAN’S RELIEF CORPS. Atthe recent meeting of the Woman’s Re- lief Corps at Chillicothe Mrs, Hollen E. Day secured anindorsement of the Soldiers’ Home project which has lately been agitated by the St. Louls Relief Corps, and it is now the scheme to elevate the project into an institu- tion for the benefit of the soldiers of Missouri (and not merely of St. Louls) and their wives, widows or families. Assoon as practicable the local board will place the matter in the hands of the department and will go out of business. The ladies are organizinga cam- paign and will make ah appeal to the public, To further the enterprise they announce a benefit atthe Olympic from May 2to May 7 where they will receive @ percentage on al tickets sold by them. ‘‘Wilkinson’s Widow’? will be the play that week. Harry P. Harding Rellef Corps will give an apron fairand hop at North St, Louis Turner Hall on Wednesday evening, May 11. The entertainment is for the benefit of the pro- jected Missouri Soldiers’ Home. The ladies promise an elegant entertainment. SONS OF VETERANS, Gen. Schaefer Camp, Sons of Veterans, was inspected by Col. Frauenthal on Tuesda night. On Tuesday, the 26th, the camp wii ive an open meeting at its quarters, South os Louis Turner Hall, to conclude witha op. DEPARTMENT MATTERS. It is quiet at Department ee ee this week. Col. T. .

Prominent Belleville Society Ladies Go to the Polls. NOT ONE OF THE EAST ST. LOUIS FAIR SEX CAST A BALLOT. The First Voter in Belleville—Laughable Incidents atthe Polle—A Young Miss Who Did Not Liketo Give Away Her Age—Voting at Lebanon, Mascoutah and Marissa—East St. Louis and Belle- ville News. The loungers about the Court-house and the public square in Belleville were treated to a novel sight yesterday. _ They saw a score or more of the most promi- nent ladies inthecity walkup tothe polis where a school election wasin progress and deposit their ballots with the air of men who have been accustomed to exercising the right of suffrage alltheir lives. Elderly matrons, young married women and pretty misses, **Just turned 18,’’ trippedup to the Court- | bouse window where the judges and clerks were receiving ballots, and voted with as . much complacency as might have been shown by old grayhaired menwho casttielir first ballot for Andrew Jackson. Women were accorded the privilege of voting in Bel lle yesterday forthe firsttime. A law pas sed by the last Legislature givesthem the right to vote at elections for any school Officer. Though the law was approved almost a year ago, the beneficiaries were given no opportunity to exercise their newly gained privileges until yes- terday. No election for school officers had been held previously. Yesterday’s election was fora President and three mem- bers. of the Board of Education. The only candidates were Richard Wangelin for Presi- dentand J.C. Koska, Cyrus Thompson and Fred Neuhaus for directors. As these candi- dates had no opposition, the members of the fair sex who availed themselves of their first opportunity to vote, were robbed of the pleasure of scratching tickets. THE FIRST LADY VOTER. Only a few Belleville ladies voted. The polis opened ati p.m., but no ballots were cast by females before 3. At about that hour vote No. lforthe ladies was handed to the judges by a middle-aged matron from the First Ward. Mrs. J. W. Shipman, wife of Alderman Shipman, wasthe first woman to casta vote in Belleville. She drove down- town in her carriage in the middle of the aft- ernoon and stopped her horse in front of the Court-house. Alighting from the buggy unassisted, she stepped to the _ poll window, and with a pleasant smile at the school directors ensconced within, picked upa printed ticket and ex- amined it closely through her spectacles. Apparently she was satisfied withthe gquali- fication of the several candidates, for she scratched none of them. After examining the ballot to her ownc satisfation, she folded it neatly, and, giving her name in a ciear, firm voice in response to the judge’s query, handed it through the window and departed, But a few minutes elapsed after her cdepart- ure before Mrs. Carrie Alexander appeared at the polls. Mrs. Alexander is the daughter of St. Clair County’s oldest and wealthiest ‘citizen,, Col. John Thomas, and IllKe Preparing Her Baliot, Mrs. Shipman, she isknown asa woman of strong character. She made little ado about voting, and handed in her ballot inthe most matter-of-fact way. Departing, she made way for Mrs. R. B. Esler, a daugnter of ex-County ‘School Super- intendent James McQuilken. Mrs. Esler was accompanied by her father. She voted a straight ticket and left the polls with a satisfied air. Later votes were cast by Mrs. Wildeman, wife of Circuit Judge Alonzo S. Wildeman; Mrs. Moore, wife of Capt. L. W. Moore; Mrs. Emma L. Halbert, widow of the late Capt, Robert A. Halbert; Miss Ellen Swyer, Mrs. E. W. Primm, Mrs. Weir, wife of the well-known attorney, Marshall W. Weir; Mrs. Richard Stanley, Miss Maria Poore and Miss Julia Moore. School Directors Henry Steingoetter, Hugh W. Harrison and John Weber,and City School Bupt. H. D. Updike had charge of the polls. They received and deposited all ballots, those of males and females alike, only keeping a separate record of the names ofthe women who voted. Not more than thirty votes in aN were cast by women. The judges anticipated an on- slaught from an army of Amazops between 4anda’5 p.m., but it failed to~ materialize. Mrs. Holbert, Mrs. Wier and other ladies closely identified with the Raptist church had published a request that all women desiring to vote meet at4o’clock at the Baptist parsonage and proceed to the hall in a body, but it seems this was recalled. There was no meet- ing at the parsonage, and Mrs. Holbert and Mrs. Weir voted before 4 0’cl®ck. LAUGHABLE INCIDENTS. Several incidents occurred during the af- ternoon to excite the laughter of. the judges and parsons who stood about the polls, curi- ously watching the women make their first essay toward controlling the reins of government. Two elder- ly German women reached the polis shortly before the close. It so happened that some of the judges had left the room, and the two in charge, Messrs. Harrison and Up Gike, were both Americans. Mr. Harrison was at the window, and as the first of the pair to vote handed in her ticket she asked him a question in German. Mr. Harrison failed to comprehend, andas the woman could not speak English, for a moment the situation appeared desperate. But scholarly Prof. Updike came to the-:rescue, and when the laughter of the bystanders had somewhat subsided he explained to his colleague that the woman’s question as near os he could translate it, was this: ‘*‘How many women have voted ahead of us?’’ Those who understana German will easily comprehend the sentence: ‘‘Vie viel wel- ben haben sehon gestimmt?’’ Bat one colered woman offered a vote. Miss Maria Woods, a colored pupil of the high school, presented her ticket to the judges about 4 o’clock. The ballot was de- posited and counted with the others. . miss, Just budding into woman- hood, was one of the voters, She was neatly dressec and carried her head jauntily. As she passed along the passageway to the poll the hearts of several young men standing by were heard to fiutter. From her ap- erty she could not have been above 6 years of age, and when she presented her ticket, there was some hesitation pn the part ofthe judges about accepting,“t. ‘‘Please state your age, Miss,’’ said thg@ elderly ju im the corner farthest from tk window: and, she replied with a flurry, have to _—tell?’’ This was too. much for the judges who informed her that her ballot’ would be ac- cepted if she would state positively that she was over 18, She willingly complied, and her ballot was counted. There wes considerable discussion amon male voters about townasto the exac nature of the law permitting women to vote. There were some who claimed that owing to the reference in the statute to art. 7 of the State Constitution, no woman might vote who was bot an elector previous to 1848, The article referred to really appears to con- fiict with the law, but as the supposed con- flicting portion would probably be construed by the courts to refer to naturalization only, itis not likely that the law will ever be de- clared unconstitutional. THE LAW. The law which gives the women their voting privilege is ‘‘an act to‘entitie women to vote at any election held for the purpose of choosing any officer under the general or specia] school lawsjof this State.”’ It was passed by the last Legislature and approved June 19, 1891. The wording ofthe statute Is as follows: Sec. ]. Any woman of the age of 21 years and up- wards, belonging toeither of the classes mentioned in art. 7 of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, who shall have resided in this State one year, in the county ninety days and in the election district thirty days preceding any election held forthe purpose of choosing any officer under the general or special school laws of this state, shall be entitled to vote at such electioninthe school district of which she shallatthe time have been for thirty daysaresi- dent; provided, any woman so desirous of voting at any such election shall have been registered in the same manner asis provided for the registration of male voters. Sec. 2. Wheneverthe election of public school officers shall occur at the same election at which other public officers are elected, the ballot offered by any woman entitled to vote under this act shall not contain the name of any person to be voted for at such election except such officers of public schools, and such ballots sha:lall be deposited ina separate box, but canvassed with other ballots cast for school officers at such election, The letter of tne law is construed to give women the right to vote for any school officer, 1. e., any officer of a school district, Women may not under this law vote for county school superintendent, as the func- tions of that official are those of acounty, and not a district, officer. A noticeable fact in connection with yester. day’s election was that only American wo- womanlike, * ‘Do Choosing a Ticket, | mencared to vote. Of the ballots cast in Belleville within three hours alter the open- ing of the polls only one was offered by a German woman, and the samerule appears to have obtained throughout the entire county. NONE VOTED AT MASCOUTAH. Inquiry at Mascoutah elicited the informa- tion that no women were voting there. The population of Mascoutah is almost wholly German, and this appears to account for the fact that no women voted there, A German lady residing at Mascoutah informed a PosT-DISPATCH reporter over the telephone wire, that she had no desireto vote. ‘‘Ilfallthe women think asIdo,’’ she said, *‘‘thevy will never vote.’’ Continuing, she said, *‘the women of Mascoutah are too busy to vote to-day. The German women have no time tospare from their household duties on Saturday.’’ Lebanon, in the northern part of the county, is a thoroughiy American city, and the women ofthat place were not backward about exercising their voting privilege. They made an effort to have one of their number placed on the ticket, Dut falled to do so. Mrs, William Hypes, a daughter of President Allen ofthe Carbondale Normal School, was re- quested to become a candidate for School Director at yesterday’s election, out after mature consideration = she declined. It was stated in Belleville that her name had been placed on the ticket, but the report proved to be erroneous. However, the failure of the women of Lebanonto havea candidate ot theirown on the ticket did not prevent them from voting. They visited the pols in large numbers and cast as many if not more votes than the men, Within an hour after the polls were opened a hundred votes were castby women, and this number was doubled before the polls closed. The women seemed not only to enjoy the novelty of thething, but appeared to be actuated by a desire to bavea. voice in the conduct of affairs. DID NOT REGISTER. No votes werecast by women in East St. Louis. Thespeciallaw governing elections there provides that .no persons who are not registered may vote at any election and this prevented the voting of women. Several ladies appeared at the polls, but were notallowed to vote. When informed that their failure to register was the only reason for their Dallots being re- jected, some of them said they would register vefore the next school election and come to the polis prepared. Quite a number of women voted at Marissa, where the inhabitants are mostly American. Inguiry at O’Falion, Fayetteville and other small towns in the county elicited the in- formation that the women were taking no part in the elections at those places. BELLEVILLE NOTES.

Fifer defeated. They say he can- not be elected, but they give no reason for the assertion. Tanneris struggling for the Treasurership, but he has little hopes of success, Hisfriends say that he is ready to resignat any moment, but Tanner keeps forging ahead. Fifer seems tobe in the lead. There are already 589 delegates selected to the Republican State Convention and of these he claims 209 instructed and feels sure of 113 of the unin- structed, which would makea total of 322. Attorney-General Hart has eighteen votes instructed for him and is supposed to have twenty-six of the votes that are uninstruct- ed. Judge Collins has seven instructed and elghteen others that he does not know what todo with. Clark has seven instructed, but then there are thirty uninstructed, and Prosecuting Attorney Longenecker has six instructed and five others that do not know what they will do in the emergency. Gen. Pavey has 177 instructed and hasa host of triends behind him who willtry to carry him to the front. Tanner has gained 98 and Bassett of Peoria bas secured 60, both in the fleld for State Treasurer. There will be 1,235 delegates in the State Convention here, and summing up the votes for the different candidates it will be seen that noneof them has a sufficient number for election. On the Democratic side 642 delegates have been appointed to the State Convention. Of these 402 are instructed for Senator Palmer; 43 for Cleveland; 281 for Altgeld for Governor; 22 for Gen.

GLOBE, 708 to 718 Franklin avenue, EASTER ATTRACTIONS. EVENTS AND NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE THEATRICAL WORLD. The Sprightly “Jane’s’’ First Visit to St. Louis—Nautical Operetta at the Grand —Lillian Lewis in a New Play—A Promising Record of Amusements— Musical Events—Local Stage Notes— Coulisse Chat. The Olympic hasa notable attraction this week in ‘‘Jane,’’ which will Be made known here for the first time by Charles Frohman’s original company from the Madison Square Theater. Although this fs ‘*Jane’s’’ first visit to St. Louis, it has been preceded by news of a series of brilliant engagements be- ginning with a longrunin New York. It be- longs to the highest class of comedy and is, therefore, suited to follow the season of Lent. The three acts of the play divulge the woes of one Charles Shakleton, an extravagant bachelor, who falls heirto property on con- dition that he is married before he receives it. He pretendsthat heis married inorder to secure money to pay his debts, which he blames on his supposed wife’s extravagance. The trustee determines to find out the real state of the case, and Shakleton, hearing of his visit, in a frenzy of despair, persuades Jane, the housemaid, to pretend she is her master’s wife during the old man’s visit. Jane con- sents without telling her husband, who is William, the butler. William, desiring to help his master, hunts up an aged but senti- mental! old lady to impersonate the wife. All meet at the same time, to the bewilderment of the trustee and the horror of the hero, not to speak of the indignation of the old lady, who is the aunt of Shakleton’s real flance. From this point on it takes all the ingenuity of everyone in the cast to unravel the thread of complications separating lov- ing hearts. Additional interest will be given to the programme by the first presentation in St. Louis of ‘*Chums’’ the prize one act comedy withan especially select cast. In the company which is said to be par- ticularly fitted to develop the humor of ‘*Jane’’ are Johnstone Bennett, Paul Arthur, R. F. Cotton, M. C. Daly, Maggie H. Fisher, Katherine Grey, Carrie Reynolds, E. 8. Ed- wards and Joseph Totten. - * bal The only comic opera attraction of the week will be at the Grand, opening to-night. The Miller Opera Co. will produce one of the trio of last year’s Eastern successes, ‘‘Ship Ahoy,’’ which attained much prominence for its long run and{ splendiag business fin Bos- ton and New England. Itis called a farcical nautical operetta, and is said to be bright, crisp, Ught and catchy. with melodious music in good quantities. Some pretty scenes are also carried with the organization, which show the production to much advantage, Among the members of the company are Miss Louise Montague of beauty fame and well known for her clear impersonation of the Prince in the ‘‘Crystal Slipper.’’ Missses Barrett and Dunbar, and James E. Sullivan, Harry Bell, Henry McDowell, Jesse Jenkins and Ed Readway. The Ubretto is by H. Grattan Donnelly, whose work as a farce- comedy writer has been successful in *‘Natural Gas’’ and ‘‘Later On.’’ The score by Fred Miller, Jr., contains many songs which have beer published and commented upon with much favor by many. Wednesday and Saturday matinees willbe givenat the Grand during next week. - * . Ezra Kendalland ‘Pair of Kids’’ donot need an introduction to the St. Louls public.

At the head of the organization is Dan McCarthy, the well-known delineator of Irish dialect characterizations. Mr. Mc- Carthy, whois the author of ‘‘The CruiskKeen Lawn,’’ will appear as Dublin Dan, a rol- licking, good-natured Irish boy. In Dublin Dan Mr. McCarthy Is said to havea role that is pecullarly congenial to his style of work, and he will introduce songs and dances.

Louis friends a most enjoyable evening of music. Mr, Bendix made his own selections and his numbers show that he recognizes popular apprecia- tion as well as professional criticism. The last numbers of the programme, ‘‘In Our LBoat’’ and ‘‘Spring Song,’’ with violin obli- gato and piano accompaniment, are two de. licilous bits of poetry and music that will doubtless linger in memory. Mrs. Lawson, Bendix and Epstein are a strong trio. The full programme !s as follows: Recitation and Aria from ‘‘Alessandro’’ he Almond Tree’” . ...coscccsececsce as ..

The University of a Glee and Banjo Clubs, which appear at Entertainment Hali on Friday evening, April 22, are right in line with the times and give a programme of new songs with the proncunced vr flavor. ‘*‘Mary’s Little Lamb’’ holds its old-time popularity, but asin keeping with the pro- ressive spirit of native-born American youth he little lamb is getting bold; for the Ann Arbor boys relate that when Mary’s lamb was put out of school the teacher’s experience was not at all pleasant, in fact, the teacher regrets the act until this day, for that lamb so the new song goes, hung around, and when his pedagogic nibs came out the lamb Hit him just behind, you know; Hit him just behind, you know, Just below the vest. The whole programme promises a rollicking concert and a pleasant evening. THE CHORAL SYMPHONY SOCIETY. Great preparations are being made by the Choral Symphony Society for their final con- cert, to be given on May 10. The oratorio chosen, Haydn’s ‘‘Creation,’’ is, like *‘The Messiah,’’ a favorite wbose popularity with both audience and chorus seems never to diminish and whose. _ fresh- ness seems perennial. The assistance of the Liederkranz Mannerchor greatiy cee pens the voce: forces. The sololets are ap selections. Mr. New York ; Mr. Chas.

Notwithstanding the fact that old Winter has been flirting with young and gentle Spring, we now stand on the threshold of milder weather. Of course you are going to “spruce up”’ a little this spring, just as every one else does, and a glance through our colossal all-new stock will show plainly that much care and thought have been expended, and that no expense or capital has been spared to make our vast assortment unmatched for Quantity, Quality, Style—and owing to our Temporary Cramped-for-Room Quarters, we are compelled to name PRICES that'// prove a sure stumbling block to any and all would-be competition. Never before have the citizens of this State been confronted by such a beautiful stock of MEN'S, BOYS AND CHILDREN'S CLOTHING! All new and fresh, from the best and most celebrated makers, as we have now placed on exhibition. Our stockmen and porters have. been as **husy as bees”? the past week unpacking and placing on our counters and shelves the choicest importation of Beautiful Neckwear and Stylish (1892) Spring Hats Ever brought West. Not a new style, shape or hand- some pattern is missing. Four large floors and base- ment are piled ceiling high with Beautiful, Rich Nove elties from the world’s fashion centers, and here you find anything you desire, from an Overcoat to a Collar Button, at prices far below those named by any competing house in this city. ; 3 : “Talk Is Cheap!” What we want is for you to come and $ubstantiate what we say to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the- truth. * ~ wi al J4\— : Da" \.\ @ \" AN) \ \ 7) Sv 514 and 516 WASHINGTON AVENUE, ie _ : - “iD iz ear Broadway .—. ’ “ ‘ ; i. aS », Mee J 5 bd sat Se : i « a.

It will get it Mon- day, and from that time the campaign of the Anti-Noonan men will bea hotone. Acom- mittee of 500 of the most active Democrats in the city opposed tothe administration will be formed; ward and precinct organizations will be made and the Noonan machine will be met by one of as much force and a good deal cleaner. John C, Wilkinson will be the chairman of the general committee, and sub- committees will be formed. A newspaper bureau will be conducted, and every. scheme of the Noonan men exposed. At present all the wards are arranging anti- Noonan delegations, but their tickets are be- ing headed differently, and the delegations do not understand one another as closely as is necessary for good work. There will be a meeting Monday night at the Southern Hotel, when representatives from all those ward delegations will be pres- ent and hearty co-operation between them agreed upon. The men most prominent in the movement are Ed Butler, Charles C. Maf- fitt, Councilman W. P. Anderson, George W. Allen, Frank R. O’Nell and W. H. Little. ‘*‘We shall work for no gubernatorial can- Gidate,’’ said one of these gentiemen iast night. ‘‘Our delegations will be for Mafitt and Madill and against Noonan. If we findit has to be against Dalton, too, all right.’’ W. H. Swift heard of the movement yester- day. ‘‘Allright,’’ said he. ‘‘We’re willing to give themall thefight they want. I’ll bet, though, that we carry twenty of the wards for Noonan.’’ The Dalton-Noonan Delegates. At 4o’clock yesterday afternoon Recorder Carlisle gota full list of the Dalton-Noonan delegates, Thelist was brought in by Mr. Swift, who handed the Recorder at the same time Mr. Dalton’s check for $1,350, the re- quird $50 for each of the twenty-eight wards.

The Governor has issued orders that every- body must enter the town on foot and this will be one of the ° biggest foot races on recerd. The crowd of negroes north of Kingfisher now numbers about four thousand and they will go in a body tothe county seat. The largest part ofthis county is already taken by Arapahoe Indians, and It is thought there will be trouble. These Indians hatea negro and say they will not live with them. At El] Reno the crowd has become so great that the line infront of the general-deiivery window at the Post-office exiends three blocks and.-many men paya dollar for a chance in line to get their mail. The great Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indian reservation is -the largest body of Indian lands that has ever been thrown open at one time. It contains 4,200,000 acres and extends from the settled part of Oklanoma on the east to Texas on the west, and from the Cherokee strip on the north to Greer County and the Kiowa and Commanche reservation on the south, THE INDIAN IS._NO FOOL. About twenty years ago the Cheyennes and Arapahoes were brought down from the North, where they had whipped the army again and again, and placed on this reserva- tion. Anumber of times since they have broken away and made raids upon the whites and other Indians, and many people of West- ern Kansas fell victimsto them. Even now many of them are savage and semi-barbarous and a large portion of thetribe were induced to take thelr land in severalty only by the use of force, There are atfout 3,500 of these Indians now on the reservation, and they have had al- lotted to them a little over 500,000 acres of land, leaving 3,500,000 acres to be taken up by white settlers. Every Indian, big or little, + eee or oid, has hdd 160 acres of land al- l6tted to him, the Government putting a wire fence about the land. And if anybody thinks the red man does not know enough to pick the best land, he ts sadly mistaken, for every mother’s son of them has taken his land and the land of his entire family in the best river bottoms. And,too, what a blessing it is to have a large family. The average In- dian family numpers trom twelveto four teen, which gives the family about 2,000 acres ofland. Thelandis untaxable for twenty- five years and the Indian will live at his ease on the money received by renting his land to cattlemen, white he and his are wade rich by the increase in valve of his land, caused by the industry of his white brother, who must bear all the burdens of taxation. While much afthe land inthis reservation is rich, well watered and productive, it is not the paradise that many imagine it to be. About 40 per cent of the reservation is of good agricuitural land, two-thirds of the balance being adapted to grazing, and the rest betng s0 poor that it would be difficult to raise even an umbrella upon it. | The Indians have picked the best lands along the streauis, and in most cases the white men will have to take uplands, with occasionally a narrow creek bottom. In the eastern half of the reservation, however, this upland is first-class and .will produce enormous crops. of all Kinds. <As a fruit country this land will rival Central Califor- nia, and cotton and broom corn can be grown to advantage. THE NEW COUNTIES. About fifteen townships of this land have been added to Kingfisher and Canadian Coun- ties, and the balance ts divided into six coun- ties of about 700 square miles each, Ssignated as counties, ©, D, E, F,G, Near the center or each county is reserved 820 acres fora county seat. Entering the reservation from the east the first countyis€. Itis 40 by 25 miles in size, extending north and south across the eastern end of the reservation. Nearly allthe land in this county tis first-class, butthbe Indians have taken a large part of it. Watona, the county seat, is about 22‘infles distant trom either the north, east or south line of the reservation, near the north bank of the North Canadian River. This stream and the South Canadian both traverse this county. West of County C the reservation widens out, so that three counties—D, G and H—llie ina tier north and south. County north, is cut in twain by the South Canadian, in whose fertile valley are many fine farms. Taloga, the county seat,is but nine miles from the line ofthe Cherokee strip, though to reach it the river must, be forded. County H isin tne center of the reserva- tion, and aboulegual distance from all sides. Arapahoe, the county seat, is in the south central part, on the Washita River. This county is the best watered of the six, and, as a whole, the land is the most desirable in the reservat'on. Still south of this county is G, which ts well watered by the Washita river, and contains a large percentage of good land, though much of it is taken OP by a large settlement of Indians in the southern pari, The county seat, Tucola, is in the southeastern part of the county, but nine miles from eitber the Wichita reservation on the east or the Kiowa lands on the south. County E is in the northwestern part of the reservation and but very little of the land is good for agricultural purposes outside ofa Darrow valley along the Canadian River. The western part is very rough and great rocks and hills predominate everywhere. l[Ioland, the county seat, is ip the eastern part and is reached easiest from the Cherokee strip, which is but fifteen milesaway. The Pan- handle of Texas joins this County on the west, as it also does ¥F lying immediately south This last county is bordered on the south by the Red Kkiver and-crossed by the Washita. The we | seat, Cheyenne, is aaenty miles from the Texas line, and several miles far- ther from Greer County, Oklahoma, on the south. The land eglong the rivers is good, but a large part of the county is very broken. THE NEW TOWNS. The nearest canes posse to the reserva- tion are Hennessy, Ngfisher, El Renoand Dover, on the Kock Isiand railway for the eastern part, and Minco, On the same road, for the southern part, As the Canadian River is one of the most dangerous streams in the West toford, and after atew hours’ rain becomes impassable for days, it will found that Minco the best of all starting nts, as the town, three-fou ofthe land to be opened, is south of that Forthe northern and pon 5 ode parts.of the reservation theMearest best rallway Be yegere are the stg the Southern Ka division of thefanta Fe in the Cherokee strip, orthe Panfiandie of : She Government has decided tc ‘tiers to enterany of the mesion rgse ‘ounding the land med a aol ’ ap er Z D, at the. | that they. choose, ready to start at the ap- fe wna our in the wild race for a homed or a ne, The sixcounty seats w!ll be declared open at the game hour as the balance of the reser- vation, and consequently there willbe no opportunity for a great crowd to gather ut each one as there did at the‘opening of Ohandler and Tecumseh last fail.

A VIEW FROM EL RENO. ——-— THE NEW LAND ISNOTAN ELDORADO—SOME OF THE HOME SETTLERS LEAVING. EL RENO, O. T., April16.—Very few of the thousands waiting to enter the Cheyenne anc Arapahog country have anything but the vaguest ofideasas to the character ofthe country which they have looked upon as the promisediand. Someofit, as a matter of fact, is very fair farming soil, but most is poor: ae The Cimsgrron River runs across the north- east corner of the new country. South at it isthe north fork of the Canadian. Further south is the south fork of the Canadian and stillfurther souththe Washita. The bottom lands along those streams have been taken u by the Indians. The land along the north fork ofthe Canadian hasa reddish soli that will yield very fair crops. Near the riverit is timbered with cottonwood, elm and otber large trees. The bottom lands are not very wide anathe lands on both sides rise very rapidly into grassy plateaus. About forty miles north of Fort Reno the land is very much broken and the bluffs rise so steeply that there isno vegetation on their almost perpendicular sides. ‘The color of this naked soll bas given these bluffsthe name of the Red Hills. These lands are very poor. NOT A FARMER’S ELDORADO, Over the divide the land slopes toward the Cimarron in a level prairie, similar in char- acter to much of Western Kansas. Between the two branches of the Canadian the land is rather rough and there 1s a great deal of black jack onthe small streams. However, there is some very good farm land. It isa gypsum soil, and the water of most of the streams is brackish. The valley of the South Canadian is similar to that of the northern branch, except that it is somewhat -wider. The stream is wider than the other branch, but not as reliable. The northern branch of the Canadian, so the In- dians say, runs dry in the country of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes about once in five years, while there are times every year when the South Canadian is nothing but a long chain of mud holes. The greatest trouble the settlers will ene counter in the raising of crops inthis Cana- dian country is from drouth. Ben Clark, the government interpreter of the Arapahoes and Cheyennes, whois more famillar with the country than the Indians themselves, says thatthe settlers will be fortunate if tbey raise one crop in three. There is usually plenty of rain inthe spring, but when rain is peeded to mature the crops there are weeks when not a drop will fall. NOT AN ELDORADO. Some little farming has been undertaken by Government scounts and squawmen with varying success. The best of the whole new county is probably InN what is known as county H. There is some very good land along Deer Creek, which flows into the South Canadian in the- Wichita country, just outside of the hew lands. The land in County E, the northwestern county, is a waste of sand and the country is hardly fit to pasture goatson. If anybody takes up claims in this county it is safe to say he or she will not make a fortune out of them, such is the country into which thousands of people are walting to rush. DISGUSTED SETTLERS NOT MISSED. A few ot the would-be settlers, disgusted with the constant and penetrating dust, are leaving, but their places are filled at once and they are not missed. The crowd in the towns and the campers alongthe line are constantly increasing. About thirty miles north of Darlington a small encampment of Arapahoes was found. These Indtans hadall made some improve- ments on their allotments and some of them had begun to fence themin. These Indians are all believers inthe comingof) the new Messiah, but they were loth to talk about it. One old man, however, when closely ques- tioned, said: ‘‘He will come. He will when the grass gets higher. He will come when the days get hot.’’ , These indians have been holding little ghost:dances and many of them showed the effects of their devotions and were suffering from colds. Clark, the guide and interpreter, said that these dances have undoubtedly caused many deaths. Wagaener Beck, whowas met on his way from B Troop to Fort Reno, says thatthe Cheyennes Neld a big ghost dance near the proposed seat of G County Monday night, Several hundred Indians were present and the dance was Kept up the greater part of the night. Anumber went into trances and saw visions. B troop found the water inthe streams in County,Givery bad and the officers were send- ing after a barrel of water. The messenger also expected to take back a camera with him. The plan of photographing sooners is being adopted as far as possible by both the soldiers and the marshals and the pictures may some day confront filers on lanus in the land offices. A FEW SOONERS ESCORTED OUT, B troop found a number of sooners In the Deer Creek bottoms and escorted them tothe line. More men will attemptto get into the country between Deer Creek and the Wichita country before the opening than any other place, because the country near the Hine is much broken and rushes will be difficult. Messengers report large numbers of Indians in the Washita Valley, many of whom have begun to fence in their land. The army offi- cers, interpreters and other men who under- stand the Indians well, do not fear trouble even though the Messiah craze hag hold of them, but admit that if the whites attempt to impose upon the red men there may be some clashes in individual cases, as the Cheyennes have the reputation of being the best fighters in the Territory. —_— — -~-- WABASH SUBURBAN TRAINS.

UGLY FACTS MIGHT APPEAR IN CASE OF EXTRADITION. Broad Hints That Crown Law Officers Gave Information to Hurlbert—How the New Yorker Wormed Himself Into the Confidence of Some Emi~ nent People. Lonpon, April 16.—The case of William Henry Hurlbert, after the recent reference to itin the House of Commons, has again begun to excite gossip. « Society, one of the leading society papers of the metropolis, in its issue to-day, says: ‘“‘The truth is that Huribert’s extradition would have brought to ight-too many ugly matters, and made it extremely difficult for some indiscreet persons occupying high of- ficiak positions to escapean indictment for conspiracy to coyceal crime. ‘*‘The astonishing ease with which Mr. Hurlbert worked himselfintothe confidence of others until they were hopelessly com- mitted to his interests is strong testimony of thatamorous gentleman’s ability. Indeed, Mr. Hurlbert’s deluded friends did not real- ize the danger in which their zeal for him had placed them untfl they were thoroughly in his power. Then Hurlbert did with them nearly what he pleased. The fact is made public that Miss Evelyn was not the only victim of Wilfred Murray. He wooed and ruined another girl under the name of Lord Carrington. The third victim was a governess in a respectable family. ‘*‘Maj~ Jones’’ was the gay lover inthis case. The last heard of this poor girl she was seen in one of the ‘‘halls of light,’’ near Leicester Square. Sociely tells the Public Prosecutor plainly that if he really wants to know who really betrayed official secrets he will have to look elsewhere than at the vigilant correspondent of the New York WorRLD. It promises thata sensation will follow investigation greater than that caused by the Hurlbert case itself. THE INSIDE FACTS. THE REAL HISTORY OF THE CASE ASIT HAS RE- CENTLY COME OUT. Special Correspondence SUN DAY POsT-DISPATCH. LONDON, April 5.—Director of Prosecutions Stephenson continues to be chaffed in the foyers of St. Stephen’s and at the clubs about the way in which the WorLp lifted his Mo- kanna veil of secrecy that had concealed his meditated arrest of William Henry Hurlbert. The Director probably mentally now guotes Byron’s line: ‘‘Il have not loved the WORLD hor the WORLD loved me.’’ Ihave now succeeded in penetrating the mystery that hungaround the earlier part of the case. It appears that Hurlbert soon after arriving here in 1883 immediately began to pose asa clubbist, a diner-out and a guest of great country houses. As a former attache in his younger days of an embassy he had be- come an honorary member of the St. James Clubin Piccadilly, not far from Hyde Park Corner—a rialto where diplomatists do con- gregate. Healso was a full member ofthe Travelers’ Club in Pall Mall, and ofthe Windham Club, opposite to St. James’ Square, The first and last named of these clubs are highly exclusive. whither, with nicely brewed punches, the creme dela creme of the West End pliably mix. George Augustus Sala, Lord Rosebery and Burdett- Coutts were Hurlbert’s especialchums and backers, HERE IS THE ELUSIVE WILFRED. Itistrue that Hurlbert once hada steno- graphic Secretary named Murray, but the name Wilired was a fanciful creation, the original being named Robert Bb. Hurlbert, un- doubtedly used by Murray in his endeavor to obtain a place for Gladys Evelyn on the stage with Wilson Barrett. But sAiurray drifted back to America and became astounded, but discreetly so, regarding the association of himself as the Hyde to Hurlbert’s Dr, Jekyll. , HURLBERT’S WRITING WELL KNOWN. The clever editor of the St. Stephen's Review ayear ago succeeded in producing one of these in tac-simile. The trial was then over, but the ‘Treasury received many anonymous communications from correspondents who wave assurances that they knew the hand- writing in fac-simile to be Hurlbert’s. In- deed there are many in London who know it well; for instance, ali an per 8 at the Cen- tral News Association, of which Hurlbert was manager. so do L. J. Jennings, with Harry Marks, proprietor, and John H. Cople- ston, editor of the Evening Post-News. THEY THINK HE DID IN, Sala, Yates, Lord Rosebery, etc., knew his penmanship. Director Stephenson had access to the originals, and has ‘‘ransacked these dregs of pieasure,’’ in comparison with ad- mitced episties of Hurlbert on social and business matters. Sir kKichard Webster, who is crown adviser, both asa Q.C. and At- torney-General, was Hurlbert’s counsel, and while he occupied thiis questionable relation did not, in the opinion of a majority of the bar here, hesitate to use quiet influence against Stephenson. Butthe Attorney-Gen- eralis not belleved to have informed Hurl- bert, who undoubtedly learned his peril sole- ly from the WORLD’s detective cable. GLADYS WRITES LETTERS, TOO, When Gladys believed she had ascertained in the spring of 1890 that her ‘‘W. M.’’ was ‘“*W. H. H.,’’ she began to write imploringly couched letters to the latter. ‘lhese re- mained unnoticed. Next she addressed some to Mrs. W. H. H., and inclosed to her one of’ the an See y episties. This made some action ‘on his part necessary. He sought the advice of Uakey Hall, who was understood to know all the ins and outs. of adventuresses and supposed biackmailers, as they had come under supervision of. police and criminal authorities in New York. Through the sum- mer and autumn of 1890 the two, as the habitues of the clubs first mentioned after- wards recalled, were observed in frequent and apxious consultations while reading documents and letters. _. DOES OAKEY HALL KNOW THE TRUTH? Whether the client, as prudent clients always do, told the true story to the lawyer, and whether the latter gave Hurlbert the ad- vice which Dazzle gave Charles Courtly when Sir Harcourt appeared, to-wit, ‘*Deny our identity,’’ or whether the client, as fool- shand shame-faced clients often do, con- cealed the truth and invented some subter- fuge. are matters that probably never will be Known. Hall, however, said while here, and also repeated in a New York interview, ‘‘that Hurlbert always told him the story which he gave in the witness-box.’’ Af this time neither of them knew of the letters (that is to say, so far as Hurlbert was concerned, of their preservation), the discovery of which was revealed in time for Hurlbert to be pre- pared to meet them vA a blunder in proceuure of the solicitor of the lady. HURLBERT AND HALL’S ee" prsereEs. AS appears by papers in @ solicitor’s keeping, the writ seems to have been taken immediately by Hurlbert to Hall’s chambers and the n—probably as a matter of hush— hit upon of the defendant appearing in per. son at those chambers and demanding a copy of the complaint to be served there. by a mi sealculation of datesthe plaintiff's solic. itor entered judgment of default against Hurlbert. Weeks wentoOD and nothing was done. Then Huribertand Hall received no. damages before a sheriff’s jury, witha motice to call and in- spect, under , certain letters which would be offered in evidence. THE LAWYERS AND THE LETTERS, Accompanied by @ solicitor, who was a member of a firm of lawyers who conducted for Hurlbert, is friend Hail » of the Gladys solicitor to tn- notice havi ? S| void, and should be duly Gladys Evelyn’s advisers say that the two spent over an hour copning the originals. .What the two lawyers thought of them no one knows. For, although their countenances-were eagerly scanned, no sign of assent or dissent was thereby given. ‘ihe jetters were accompanied by envelopes postmarked Paris, London and Rome and duly addressed to Miss Gladys Eve- lyn. Buta clerk of her solicitor appears con- tident that he accidentally overheard piteous Whispers from both lawyers, which indi- cated their belief in the identity of Humbert’s handwriting with that of the letters signed **Wilfrea.’’ A FIGHT AGAINST HOPE. Upon the following Morning her solicitors— they have anofficein that queer section of the Adelphi looking Over the embankment and at the rear of the premiges.once occupied by Peter the Gracet during hig London stay— were served from George wis’ office with notice of motion to set asidé the default for irregularity. It was founded onan affidavit of Hall setting forth those errors. ‘The old personal notice of appearance was withdrawn and Lewis & Lewis substituted as solicitors. It became evident that Doth Jegal friend and Client now knew tacts which showed the gravity of the situation, and the supposition is that Hall steered Hurlbert inte the pest of- fice for unraveling queer casesand formulat- ing ingenious defenses and resources of legal play. The motion was granted, RE-ENTER PARNELLITES. Then came the time for the Jrish M. P.’s, who hated Huribert, to in fine work. Could such perjury as was ginning to be believed by every y have en condoned, be glazed over because its etrator was a bosom friend of the London ‘Times and had supplied it slyly with information to aid its Parnell crusade? More than was the Tory Attorney-General, who had been Parnell’s legal persecutor, to escape a$ its abettor? THE LONDON PAPERS TAKE A HAND. These M. P.’s, aided by three Radical papers—and Labouchere in Truth has just brought up a vanguard offine gunnery echo- J ing the original salyvo—soon began a hue and cry forthe prosecution of Hurlbert, who, taking passage under analias on a steamer whose agents occupy a part of the WoRLD ey salled from Southampton, with Hall as a fellow- passenger—both going, doubtless, asthe wits of the American Club said, in search of Wilfred Murray, who was soon ad- vertised for by Gen. Clarencé Seward’s firm. WILL HURLBERT ALWAYS BE AW EXILE? Now the questions are asked here—the mat- ter having received fresh fmpétus and in- creased sensation by now bobbing up in Par- liament—‘‘What will be the upshot of the extradition warrant? Will its existence make Hurlbert a perpetual exile?’’ Itis certain, ifthe Home Rulers carry the approaching election, that the Irish M, P.’s will never let the matter rest,even to the extent,in absence of extradition treaties with the places Hurl- bert may take refuge in, of invoking the com- ity of nations, as was invoked by Spain at Washington in the Tweed case, LOOK OUT FOR THE SEQUEL. So look out for additional cme ere of inter- estinthe Huribert-Hyde and Jekyll-Murray romance and mystery. The exile may return to face the music as Mrs. Osborne did. Some barristers think that techni¢ally he might escape conviction inasmuch as apart from the letters it is still oath gainst oath, and because these extraordinary epistles were really not material to tit issue; for not one in any way referred toa prpmise of mar- riage, which was the burden of the case. Itissaid on good authority here that Mr. Hurlbert is npowin Egypt, having sailed from Mexico and Havana by one of the Oriental lines of steamers. Pianos for Rent.

BERLIN, April 1.—The multifarious phases ofcharacter exhibited by the present Ger- man Kaiser have already procured him a great variety of soubriquets, such as the ‘*‘Traveling Emperor,’’ the ‘‘Praying’ Em- peror,’’ the ‘‘Shouting Emperor’’ and the **Spouting Emperor,’’ and it would seem as if His Majesty wished bis unofficial Nst of titles (which are not enumerated in the ‘‘Almanach de Gotha’’) to be increased by that of the ‘‘Reforming Emperor.’’ Inthe field of domestic reform the Emperor has al- ready made some very bold ventures, but it is in the army, which ts his special province and pet occupation, that he has more particularly exercised his passion for change. Things had become a little stagnant under the old Emperor, who belonged to what might be called the conservative, or gaiter-button, school of soldiers; but the spirit of change began: to assert itself even under his son and successor, who initiated the area of military reform in organization and equip- ment by providing infantry officers with rid- ing-boots, and this spirit manifested itself strongly in William lI., who hastened to modity the outfit and armament of his troops in accordance with the needs of the time, gay altered methods offin de siecle war- f - Among other changes, His Majesty in- troduced a new steel-scabbarded sword for thie infantry officers, and gave the m a more convenient pack, Again, he abgjished the breast and back plates of the Culrassiers, who now only wear their full panoply of mail on show occasions, and reduced all the four kinds of cavalry—Cuitras- siers, Uhlans, Dragoons and Hussars—to the rank of Lancers, all German horsemen being now armed with the lance,which the Emperor holds to be the queen of white arm weapons. He has, moreover, under consideration the model of a combination lance and rifie, the invention of a locksmith at Potsdam. At his last New Year’s giving out of the watchward for the day, ali his officers appeared in new grey overcoats, resembling the military mantle of the Russians; a small- bore magazine rifle has béen substituted, at an immense cost, for the old converted Mauser repeater, for the German must not Jag behind the French in respect of a Jong- range firearm; andthe emperor has given it as his opinion that if artillery is to continue as a weapon of modern warfare,a field-gun must now be invented of-longer range than the present breech-loading musket. He was also the first to supply the army with a fleld- tent, asection of which is carried by each man whom it sheiters, and may be used by him while on sentry duty and the likeasa poncho and extra overcoat. ‘These tents are windproof, waterproof and fireproof,and were first of all served out to the army corps lying towards the Eastern frontier for the contin- gency ofa campaign in Russia, where troops cannot be cantoned by reason of the dearth of towns and villages. It is probably witha maineyeto the same contingency that the Emperor has been trying the experiment of drilling some of his infantry in the use of snowshoes, or rather snow-skates, such as are used by the Laps. But apart from the practical use of these snowshoes in Russia, where they would be of likeliest application, the Emperor must be alive to the consideration that another war with France, even if, as last time, declared in summer, would be sure to last into a winter campaign; as the Germans, even if they again prove superior to their French adversaries, are not likely to enjoy another walkover in the manner of their last promenade to Paris. One of the greatest ex- ploits of the Hmperor’s Most admired ances- tor, the Great EKlector, was his passage in midwinter over the Frische Haaf on sleighs, and his consequent victory over the Swedes; and, perhaps His Majesty, who is fond of emulating the actions of his forbears, con- templates some apalozous achievement, la cas echeant, with snowshoes, or rather over the Muscovites, Readers of Voltatre’s ‘*‘Charies XII.,’’ with whose original and im- petuous character the young Emperor has much in common, will remember how the Hero of the North trained his troops to the use of skates Regt a wan . bred on the Muscovites ; esty appa- rently aient a being as boldly deviceful as the Swedish King. ifhe hasany difficulty in to the use of snow- end a battalion of them at ess, where the fisher- ‘ewn Ce oee Senne ae @ tallor’s board, ni ls’, and .a ouse- Furnis Price, For a full-size Solid Oak Upright Folding Bed, with an imported bevel plate mirror, size 18x40 t Ingalls’ only.

Strange and Useful Facts Rescued From the Abysses of the Sea~—The Voyage of the Challenger—Guesses and Specula- tion Yielding to Facts—What Has Been Discovered by the Albatross. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—Oceanogra- phy is the latest competitor in the fleld of the sciences... The United States Government is probably doing more than any other in this science, through the work of the Fish Com- mission and the investigations of the Smith- sonian Institution. Bhe commission has now three vessels in service with every équipment necessary for thorough and accurate ob- servation. The first attempt toinvestigate the deep sea and study its inhabitants was made by Sir Wyville Thomson and Mr. John Murray of the Challenger expedition, which traversed every ocean and spent four years in the work. Since then scientific men have been busy in- vestigating the results ofthis voyage. Sir Wyville’s report, which fs not yet finished, now numbers thirty-four large volumes, and when complete will cover every phase of sea learning. The subjects of zoology and botany are exhaustively studied and some features of the physics and chemistry of the sea, such as the researches into the composition and specific gravity of ocean water, the tempera- tures of the deep seaand atmospheric circu- lation. The extended reports upon deep sea deposits, oceanic circulation, and some other features of the work are yet to be published, together with tables, summartes, and index, which will make the great mass of material inthis enormous publication more easily ac- cessible. alarge number of admirable maps, graphi- cally presenting to the reader the facts de- talled in the text. Of course these volumes are too technical to be popular, but they have been a mine of exhaustless wealth to the popular writer on scientific subjects. But their chief value {s in affording a point of departure for further in- vestigation. In many respects the work of the Challenger was incomplete. It was the pioneer in a ngw and untried fleld and hence many of the generalizations reached through it will be mo@gified and revisedand some set uside entirely. Following the Challenger the wonderful vogage of the German ship Gazelle was richin results which have re- cently been placed within the reach of scien- tific investigators of other countries. Before the Challenger voyaye littie or noth- ing was known of the deep sea. There was plenty of speculation but noknowledge, One of the commonest of these speculations was that concerning the contour of the ocean bottom. The physical geographers of twenty years ago gravely taught that the ocean bed was a counterpart of the land features of the globe, with its mighty. mountain ranges pushing up toward the surface of the sea, and deep valleys and glenfs sinking to almost unfathomable depths. This is found to be true only to a limited extent. Here and there, to be sure, mighty mountains push to- ward the surface or rise above it, forming islands; and then ym sinks in a@ narrow trough st coast of soun Scattered through the volumes are. ocean depths, fixes the mean depth of all the oceans at 3,803 meters, or about 12,700 feet. less thantwoanda half mile’. The Pacific Ocean averages about 1,100 feet deeper than the Atlantic. The North Atlantic is deeper than the Southern Atlantic, and the Arctic Ocean grows shallower the nearer the pole is approached. Another series of interesting observations is concerned with the distance from land at which sediment brought to the sea Dy rivers is spread on the ocean bottom, Those giant rivers, the Niger and the Congo, produce most marked effects upon the natureof the deposits atthe bottom of the ocean. It has been found that the sea bed for hundreds of miles from land from the Gulf of Guinea to Loanda has been filled to an enormous extent by the dark colored soft muds brought down by the rivers; and off the mouth of the Congo the shore mud has been traced toa depth of 18,000 feet at a distance of 600 niles from land, In the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea the sediment from the Indus and the Ganges is spread out over the greater extent of the ocean’s floor. Antarctic ice brings ag far north as 40 deg. south latitude the debris from lands perhaps still unknown. Dr. Murray says, however, that toward the central parts of the o@®ans it is difficult to trace the ordinary river detritus in the deposits there forming. The advance made inthe science can, per- haps, be best measured by the fact that in 1872, when the Challenge set sall, only six forms of deep sea life were known. To-day not less than seventy such forms are familiar to oceanographers, and each new expedition brings in reports of still more. The Albatross, although commissioned pri- marily in the service ofthe Fish Commission in the interest of fish culture, has yet brought in valuable scientific results of other kinds. Since 1888 this vessel has sounded along the American Pacific Coast. In Alaskan waters she has traced the limits of great fishing banks, where sometime Americans will find a rich harvest. Her series of soundings has extended for thousands of miles alongthe coast. In the neighborhood of the isthmus she has found that the animal life of the Pacific compares but poorly with that of the Caribbean Sea, but many ofthe species on both sides of the isthmus are identical, Besides the work done by the Albatross there have been dredgings and surveys by the Egeria, which has made many hundreds of soundings between Australla, New Zea- land and the Phoenix Islands north of Samoa, covering the Western Pacific with a network of observations; by the Dolphin and Seine, both of which have stretched a series of soundings across the Atlantic, and by the Investigator, in the North Indian Ocean. One very interesting fact seems to have been established by the recent investigations in the Pacific of our Fish Commission steamer Albatross. It has long been known that the group of animals characteristic of the upper art of oceanic waters is entirely distinct rom the forms of life near and at the bottom | of the sea. The Challenger investigators thought aa had established the fact that another distinct group of animals exists in the intermediate depths between these upper and lower forms of life. This theory seems to have been upset by the work of the Alba- tross. Thenaturalists of this vessel have found that the forms of sea fein the upper portion of the ocean waters may descend toa depth of 1.200 feet or so from the surface, but there then succeeds a bharren zone, which continues to within 360 to 300 feet from the bottom, where the deep-sea animals begin to appear. As a rule, these deep-sea animals have no oes showing that they have no n of them. The fact that they are subjected to enormous pressure is shown by many of them bursting open when brought to the surface. Some of them have very a colors, and they are found most abundantly along the courses ofthe great currents, showing that these rivers in the ocean Dring 4 large amount of faod for the deep-sea fauna. Although only about twenty years old ocean ography is beginning to have sOme exacti- tude. That is, hasty genera have been corrected and facts in sufficient numbers have been ostablished from which to raise valid inductions. Naturalists can now tify a specimen as belonging toa hi latitude and can with less certain longitude. hus at a depth of 18,000 deposit seems without exception arising from the decomposition matter.

An tmportant series of soundings between the Bermuda Islands and Nova Scotia was made when the Westmeath laid the cable that now connects Burmuda with the rest of the world. The work of the Fylla in Denmark strait, between Greenland and Iceland, had the important result of showing that the warmer Atlantic waters pass north through the strait under the surface polar stream flow- ing south. These are only a few of the results reported by the Challenger, the Gazelle, the Doiphin and the Albatross. Much of the infor- mation still a sealed book to the student and is await- ing the loving curiosity of the scientific pularizer. Our Government’s activity has en perhaps too much restricted to com- mercial purposes, But the incidental results are perhaps not less important than the more material accomplishments. The com- mercial value of the information brought in by the Albatross is simply incalculable a the work has only just begun, and itis too much to say that facts now of little or no worth to man, but which are care recorded, will in turn prove of like service, The work is in charge of men best qualified hy education and temperament and who are animated by a scientific enthusiasm which ecenats them toignore every hardship and nger.

Columbia College, or the State University of Columbia, Boone County, Mo.,is about to rise from the ashes of the recent fire, a grander, handsomer and more extensive in- stitution of learning than its founders of 1840 ever dreamed or hoped it would be. The signature of Gov. Francis on the act of thie last Legislature, appropriating $150,000 to the fund of rebuilaing the State University, was nardly dry peforé the Board of Ctirrators had called upon several architects and instructed them to draw rough sketches of A series of buildings which were to spring from theruins of the old college on the bill just south of the town of Columbia. Eames & Young, the St. Louls architects, submitted plans which seemed to come nearer the board’s idea than ITS ASHES. 2 per relieve the press lege. When the fire spent itself, only two buildings remained standing; the President’s house, ‘whi stood to the t of t main building, and the Agricultural Hall, a four-story brick on the west and a few hun- dred feet east. Inthe new plans the col- umns, which s in the front entrance of the building, are left solitary in a campus 800 feet wide and 550 feet long. On either side of this rectangle the new school will be built.

In line with the chemical aboratory, south of the President’s house, will be the School of Biology, Geology and the Museum. ‘It istobe a two-story building, 150 feet long and about 50 feet wide, witha fininished basement, andto be of brick or! limestone as the Curators decide. In the north wing of the building will be the School of Natural History and Biological Laboratory. In the south wing will be the Schools of Geol- ogy and Minerology and photographing room, with private rooms for the professors. In the center the Museum, in which specimens of the work of both wings will be exhibited, is to be located. CLASS-ROOMS BUILT FIRST. The Board of Curators has decided not to build the university building proper as yet.

Such are the plans of the Board of Curators at present, and there is no likelihood of a change except perhaps inthe minor details of interior arran énts, such as the di- mensions of rooms, location of stairs and other alterations considered admissible. Yes- terday Eames & Young sent the plans for all the seven buildingstothe members of the board at Columbia, and no time will be lost in arriving at definite conclusions as to what istO be done. One guestion of great im- rtance to be settied is what kind of build- ng material will be used.

Last Friday a complete sketch of the Co- lumbia College, as it will appear within the Nnexttwo years, was finished, anda water color picture of large dimensions was sent to Prof. CU. M. Woodward of the Washington University and Manual Training School, who isa member ofthe Board of Curators of Co- lumbia College. Old students and former visitors ofthat venerable educational instl- tution will see little in the new plans to remind them of the gray and blackened stones of the aged building, the campusin front ofit or in the general surroundings. After the fire of a few mionths azo nothing was left of the high dome, the arched windows and stone colon- a@des-but six large pillars of limestone, six feet in diameter and thirty feet in height,only siightly damaged by the intense heat, caused By the burningof the old structure, which fellina heap behind them. These tall col- umns form the center of a green sward around which all the proposed buildings are to be arranged and the visitor whoin former years had seen the old University as he Walked south from the town of Columbia, will as Prof. Woodward poetically remarks, ‘‘see through the ivy-claa columns of the old building, the beautiful outlines of the modern college.’’ A BEAUTIFUL MODERN COLLEGE. Columbia College stood about 450 yards south of Columbia, ona slight rise, and was tlie first object to attract the eye of the visitor in the city. Around the old struct- ure, which years ago began so show signs of decay, were grouped a few small, modern Bulldings of brick, which had been put up to the present ideaitisto be 350feet long and about two hundred feet deep, three stories high and of solid stone or vitrified brick. As the board has but $240,000 to bulid the needed schools, ithas decided to put up the smaller bulldings first, with the money now on hand, and depend on the generosity of future Legislatures to appropriate enough money to build the university proper. When thisimmense struture is completed it will be devoted to the study of languages and the higher mathematics. A chapel sufficient to ‘accommodate several thousand persons will be erected in therear and directly con- nected with the main building. A library willtake upalarge space inthe main build- ingand private rooms for the professors and officers of the administration will be pro- vided. There willalso befive or six society rooms set apartfor the debating clubs, lit- erary societies, and other organizations which always originate in a large col- lege such as Columbia will be. The basement of the university will be used as anarmory and gymnasium if the board finds it cannot erect a separate build- ingontheeast and tothe rear for the gym- nasts and athletes and the Columbia National Guards, of which at least 20 percent of the students are members. The board for the present will pay no attention to the erection of the large Duilding unless philanthropists and rich advocates of learning cometo the front with endowments and donations suf- ficient to pay for the building according to the plans, which are certainly very modest. MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. | If the plans are carried out regarding the Manual Training School building, which will stand tothe west and east of the big build- ing, the Manual Training School of the Wash- ington University, Prof. Woodward’s pride, will be eclipsed as to size and accommoda- tions. Itwillbe a lurge T-shaped brick or stone structure, two stories high, without a basement, and will contain two carpenter shops, two forging shops, a machinery hall, a drawing room, DbDiacksmith shop, dynamo room and electric apparatus room, This building will be started first and com- pleted as soon as _ possible, the Board of curators recognizing the needof a train- suaded to pass the bill appropriating money to rebulld the University of Columbia, it was onthe understanding that the city would construct a perfect modern water- works and put in an electric lighting plant to Hhght the city. When the ‘*New Columbitea’’ is built it will be fitted throughout with water pipes, incandescent electric lamps, sewers’ for foul water and sewers for surface draihage,and all buildings will be heated by steam generated ina new model boller-house onthe grounds. All the comforts and conveniences of a greatcity like St. Louis will be enjoyed by the students, including paved streetsand grani toid walks. When this plan ts carried out within the next two years,as it will be,the Board of Directors will find no trouble in securing the vote ofthe Legislature for an appropriation of $300,000 or more, to build the big University, which wiil complete this school of learning. The State University was founded In 1840, In 1820, an act was passed in Congress giving all lands then belonging tothe United States in Missourito the School Fund of the State, in all about 46,000 acres. Thousands of acres were sold and the fund thus created re- mained idle in the State Treasury for ears. In 1839, Hon, James 8. tollins, member of the Legislature from Boone County, introduced a bill to es- tablish a State University in Missouri and use the fund which was lying idije in the treas- ury. The bill passed. A boardof five com- missioners were appointed to selecta site within the counties of Callaway, Cooper, Boone, Howard and Saline. Boone County bid the highest fur the University, $117,921, and as it offered a very agreeabie site, Co- lumbia was decided upon. The commission was composed of Peter H. Burnett of Clay County, Chauncey Durkee of Lewis County, Archibald Gamble of st. Louls, John G. Bryan of Washington and John 8. Phelps of Greene County. On July 4, 1840, fifty-two years ago, the corner-stone of the college was laid with great pomp and ceremony by Hon. James L. Minor, who made a very eloquent speech. When the ruins of the building over which he delivered the oration are cleared away and the corner-stone removed some interesting documents will be found. A NIGHT OF HORROR.

Suddenly my heart died within me, for a cold, clammy wriggling object had touched my hand, where it lay on the outside of the coverlet. In that truly awful minute the full horror of the situation flashed upon me—the box containing my brother’s snakes had been left open!—attracted by the warmth, the monsters had glided in through the dressing-room door and were taking refuge from the coldin my bed. In spite of my well-nigh crazed state of mind I thoroughly realized that my only chance of escape from tmmediate death lay in absolute stillness. One motion of hand or foot and the startled reptiles would make an end of me. ‘*Can you imagine, gentlemen, what it fs to be morbidly afraid of snakes and to have to lie there motionless while seventeen—yes, seventeen hideous, writhing, nauseous ser- pents creep one after another into your bed and nestle against you in their search for warmth and comfort?

But allthese sounds were dull in my ear, as if heard from a far-away grave where I was entombed alive, The minutes dragged along like hours, and the hours like days. Several times I clinched my teeth convulsively to smother a cry of agony which was almost wrung from me by a motion of oneof my awtul bed fellows; there would have been as much danger in screaming as in moving ever sO slightly. What hopes had I, anyhow Of making myself heard? My own an my brother’s apartments were secluded from the rest of the house by along picture gallery, and between his and my room, were two im- mense dressing-rooms opening into one an- ther. Moreover, Yves, who had suffered rem marsh fevers during his visit to the tropics, Wasinthe habit of taking chloral every night to combat the terrible headaches and sleeplessness which were the outcome of his illness. He Was no doubt then under the effect of the opiate and would not have heard the booming ofa ene. **Slowly, miserably slowly, the time drag- ed on its weary course.

They had all crept under the coverings, where they lay colled against my body, probably enjoying their comfortable rest. ‘‘Again minutes grew into hours of inde- scribable slowness and suffering. I could now hear the servants moving about and the horses being led out for exercise inthe pad- docks. The dressing bell sounded and then I grew desperate.

WASHINGTON ARCH NEARLY COMPLETED —ITS ARTISTIC VALUE NOT YET ENOWN. Special Correspondence of SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. NEw York, April 14.—The last stones on the Washington Arch were setafew Gays ago. Oarved upon them werethe initials of the Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary of the committee, Mr. Marquand, Mr. W. R. Stew- art and Mr. R. W. Gilder, as well as those of the architect, Mr. Stanford White, and a big ‘'P’’? was added as a _ tribute to Padarewski, whose concert netted some $4,500 for the building fund. The monu- ment bears three inscriptions: ‘‘Erected by the People of the City of New York,’’ ‘‘To Commemorate the One Hundredth Anniver- sary of the Inauguration of George Washing- ton as First President of the United States’’ and a quotation from Washington’s own words, ‘‘Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. Theevent isin the hand of God.’’ It will be time enough to consider the exact artistic value of the arch when its decorative sculptures are in place. I hear that they are finished, and that it will be complete when it is formally unveiled. The choir of our new cathedral is soon to be begun and, it is hoped will be ready for dedl- cation and the conduct of services by St. John’s Day, Dec. 27, 1895. It willbe 150 feet in height an? 150in length, while the com- pleted cathedral will be 520 feet long—as long as the longest English cathedrals, which are the longest in the world, although being very narrow, they do not cover as much ground as some great continental churches. Two con- tributions of $20,000 each have recently been received for the building fund. But they do not sound very helpful when one is told that the choir will cost $900,000 and the whole church some $6,000,000. Just where the money is to come from,or evento be expected from, is not generally divined, and the site itself has not yet been entirely paid for, But at last we are to have our Grant mon- ument, and much more quickly than the cathedral. For years this scheme has languished, and because it has languished other communities have pointed the finger of scorn. Yet, al- though we deserve to be scorned in a meas- ure for leaving Grant’s body so longin a tem- porary tomb, which looks iikea brick baking oven, we have better excuses to make for our- selves than outsiders realize. To begin with, more schemes demanding more money for more diverse purposes than smaller towns can conceive of perpetually succeed and con- flict with each other in New York, and just when interest in this scheme was at its height and $155,000 had been quickly given, certain great calamities diverted money from artistic and patriotic to humanitarian purposes. Of course when such interest of this sort has once been dampened it is very hard to revive it, and the sum required was so exceptionally great for a memorial work—half a million dollars—that many persons seem to have thought that if they could not contribute largely it was no use to contribute at all. Moreover, much dissatisfaction was felt with the managers of the association and with their methods, and, finally, there was a widespread belief that Grant’s body would be taken away from New York by force of Congressional arms, What we needed was that an energetic practical, enthusiastic man in whom we ha full confidence should be given full control of the scheme. This has at last been done. Gen. Horace Porter, recently appointed President of the association, has put a trumpet to his mouth and is calling us to stand and deliver. And heis reproaching us so seriously and charming us so wisely that deliver we shall, and very gladly. The number of trustees has been enlarged to 100, and includes our most trustworthy and influential citizens. There are ho salaried officials, but a multitude of § yol- unteers have helped Gen. Porter to tabulate andto appeal to all the men in New Yorkin a systematic way. Groups of representatives of the various trades and p ofessions are daily summoned In succession to hear Gen. Porter explain the needs and projects of the association, and each of them is appointing special committees to solicit contributions among its members. The foundations of the tomb are already finished, and the first course of stonels being laid. On April 27, the seventieth anniversary of Gen. Grant’s birth, its corner-stone will be laid by President Harrison with appropriate ceremonies. The $850,000 still needed for its completion ought to be raised by that time, Gen. Porter believes that it will be, and every One must believe so who knows the generosity and public spirit of New York when they are once stirred with a voice which can be heard above the din of a thou- sand varying voices and the conflict ofa hun- dred different public interests. As shown in the competitive drawing, the exterior of the proposed monument was not altogether satisfactory.

This was cheap at the price, however, because it would have been cheap . any price that any man could afford to pay or if, Mr. Edward Robinson, curator of classical antiquities at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, has carefully studied for several vears the question whether the ancients colored their marble sculptures, and I hope that every one will read and also believe the ar- ticle which he has written for the April Cen- tury to prove that they did. Happy Bostonl- ans may put his theories to the test of their own taste, for a restored figure of the Olym- pian Hermes and one of the Venus Genetrix, colored under Mr. Robinson’s direction, are just now on viewin his museum. And even people who cannot go to Boston can supple- ment his Century article by reading the ex- planatory pamphlet, published by the mu- seum, which tells just why these figures were colored in just this way. I had a glimpse of them a few weeks ago, when they were still unfinished, and am sure that when I see them complete and properly placed, they will seém satisfactory in many respects at least. But even those who do not find them at all satisfactory should not, therefore, conclude that the Greeks did not color their marble figures, or that, if they did, they were wrong. Restorations can never be accepted as more than examples of the way in which, according to the belief of the Individuals who have executed them, the originals probably looked; the chances are many, of course, that these individuals have nee iit upon the exact truth; and art ie like ove: The little more, and how much it fs, The little less, and what worlds away! The only thing of which we can be quite sure isthat if these figures are indeed te like the Greek ones,and if we do not like them, we Ought to. The single fact about which wecan feel perfectly certain ih dis- cussing art is that the Greeks knew more aboutit than anyoneelse everhas. What- ever they did in the way of coloring statues must have been better than anything else that our taste might at first sight prefer. No piece of Greek work of any kind dating from a good period has ever been discovered which Lis bad. And, if logic means anything, it means that the things that we have not dis- covered were just as fine as those that we have. I firmly believe, for instance, that if we could recover a good example of Athenian ainting we should marvel just as much at he superiority of the Greeks in this art as we do at their superiority in sculpture. It seems to methe height of folly to fancy, for ex- ample, that the science of perspective draw- ing upon a flat surface was not understood by men whose eyes were sO much more sensitive than ours that, to guard themselves against erspective distortion which our ag cannot eel at all they had to bend in subtle ways all the apparent straight lines of a temple front, At the Grolier Club a collection of interest. ing etchings by the Dutch artist Zilcken was shown from April8tols.

He Killed Himself and Came Back to Write His Experience. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. It was a chilly April evening and the street was crowded. A steady drizzle fell slowly, converting the streets Into slimy pools into which the pedes- trians splashed mournfully. Through the swinging doors of a great newspaper build- ing surged a restless sea of humanity. Worn out and discouraged I breasted my way through it to the editorial rooms, Iwas anew man on the staff and I had failed to get my story. My heart sank still lower as I entered my chief’s presence ; it was my third unsuccessful attempt. ‘*Couldn’t get it, eh,’’ he remarked after hearing my report.

A bright thought had struck me. Yes, life wasn’t worth living. I’a make a success for once—in death if not in life. I mentioned my thought to my chief and he laughed grimly. ‘‘You’ll do,’’ he said, evi- dently thinking that I was joking. ‘‘Try any- thing you please,’’ How cold and damp the air was as I went out into the streets again and turned towards Broadway. How was I to die, 1 pondered. Poison was unpleasant and a Dullet made such a mess of One’s appearance. I laughed aloud as limagined my landlady’s horror on finding her floor stained with blood, Several men turned to wonder at my odd mirth in the mist and darkness. Once, in passing a brightly lighted window, I caught sight of my face in the glass—a face so distorted, so wild, with bloodshot eyes, that I almost thought the family taint of insanity had claimed me for its victim at last. Perhaps it had—perhaps. Iwas mad! An icy chill shot through every nerve at the horrible thought. I dashed for- ward breathlessly until 1 brought up before ~ lonesome lodgings on a side street. stumbled through the narrow dark halls to my room and opened the door, and as 1 did so the dampness of the chamber seemed Iike a breath fromthe grave.

It seemed a snake crawling toltsden, Perhaps it was a snake—perhaps I dreamed. A feeling pf deadly weakness came over me, I glanced at the patch of mooolight in the cracked mirrorand saw a white face, from which shone a pair of gleamin eyes. Then a flash blinded me and my head fell forward on the damp sill. I could hear a mighty roar a roar like a giant Niagara that surged an beat upon me maddened brain, a roar far above that of the great city below me. The boom of canon, the sharprattleof musketry and the roll of huge drums seemed gathered into a volume of sound. Like the waves of the raging sea it surged over me.

I was too weak to move my eyelids more than a hair-line, but I could see a mass of blazing fire whose flames seemed to se and dance and burn my very fiesh.

Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. A glass funnel may be made to float upon what appears to be pure water. The experti- ment is easy, but the effect is startling; even after the conditions are told the exact cause may not appear to every one. To perform the experiment fill a beaker six inches high to within an inch of the top with pure water. By means ofthe funnel, which should be of the same height as the beaker, pour ordinary sulphuric acid (the c. p.is better, being clearer) into the beaker until the water reaches the rim. The funnel should reach to the bottom while the acid is being poured in, and the heavy fluid will remain in a layer un- derneath the water. Thesurface of the acid should be stirred a little, so as to cause a par- tial mixtme@ and render the dividin ine more obscure. Then remove the funnel, By placing the glass ina suitable light it will be next to impossible for a person to see the dense layer atthe bottom. Call attention to the fact that there is nothingin the neck of the bottle to prevent the of the water, and lower it the beaker, where it will float in a most curious manner, and if pressed down a little, will bob up like a cork. The reason is obvious. Asthe funnel is lowered into the lass, the water rises in the tube and the evelremains constant inside and outside, but assoonasthe stem of the funnel dips ; into the yongt d acid a change of level com-# mences, forthe downward pressure of the water outside will not sopocss a column of acid its own height, an yee yg A the level of the liquid within the funnel falis be- low the level of the liquid outside. ‘The dif- ference of level has practically the same effect that a plug in the bottom of would have; the head of the funnel being nearly full of air, it foats just as an w glass vessel wo coe ae d. sulphuric acid aicoe the fannel the glass being vier than [BARNES HOSPITAL, - —— Magnificent Monument ‘Left By a 8t. Louis Millionaire, AN ASYLUM FOR THE SICK WITH AN ENDOWMENT OF $1,000,000. It Will Be Under the Patronage of the Methodist Church South, But All Creeds Will Be Admitted—Must Be Completedin About Two Years—Con- ditions ofthe Bequest. By reason of the generous bequest of the late Robert A. Barnes St. Louis will, in a couple of years, have one of the finest hospl- tals in America. The aged millionaire had no children andno near relatives, and in his will donated the bulk of his vast fortune toward the erection and maintenance of an institution to be known asthe Barnes Hosp!i- tal. Theexact site of this hospital has not yet been determined, and probably will not be forsome time, but thelocation will bea centra! one, and the building will no doubt be an ornament tothecity. The institution has been most liberally endowed by Mr. .Barnes, whose bequests to it all told amount to about $1,000,000. While he sets aside only $100,000 for the bui!d- ing proper, Mr. Barnes gives the trustees power to expend more than that sum on the building if they deem it advisable and as the funds at their command are so gieat they will no doubt erecta more costly structure. In the conditions governing his bequest, Mr. Barnes has displayed remarkable foresight, and the. trusteés are not hampered by any restrictions which at any future time might militate against the hospital. Mr, Barnes merely im- posed sufficient conditions to have his bequest put to practicaluse assoon as possible, and after his own general ideas leaving what changes the future might demand to the wisdom of the _ trustevws. With an endowment fund of $1,000,000, the hospital will never need for money, and it promises to become one of thecity’s most complete and beneficial charitable in- stitutions. Mr. Barnes’ act casts a strong side light on the life of a man wiiose charities during life were a vast but hidden volume, THE TRUSTEES. Smith P. Galt, R. M. Scruggs, and Samuel Kennard are, by the will, to be trustees of the hospital. Samuel Cupples was originally a trustee, but this appointment was revoked sometime before the death of Mr. Barnes, solely because in thethen condition of Mr. Cupples’ health Mr. Barnes feared that the gentleman would not live to accept the trust. The bospital will be under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, but subject to rules of thetrustees, In caseofa vacancy in the Board of Trustees, the Bishop of the Conference of the M. E. Church South, next preceding the vacancy will appoint the successor tothe place. if that bishop cannot make: the appointment, then his prede- cessor willdoso. If the appointment cannot be kept ouc of court, Mr. Barnes rests the choice in the court having the highest original general jurisdiction oftrust estates. His admonitions to that judge are forcible and wise. ‘‘I enjoin upon said court,’’ says the willof Mr. Barnes, **that said appointee shall not be selected on account of his politics, but on account of his eminent fitness for the position, by reason of his well-known integrity, responsibility and business judgment.’’ THE SITES. Mr. Barnes provided in his will two sites for the hospital, one on Twelfth and Madison streets, the other on Eliot avenue and Mont- gomery street. But the trustees are em- powered to locate the institution elsewhere, and in: fact they will do so, for neither of these places are sufficiently central for a large metropolitan hospital. In brief Mr. Barnes himself stated before his death his objection to the sites named, and he ex- pressed his desire that the trustees make use of the discretion left them. As already statea, $100,000 Is set asideto build the hospital, but the _ trustees are empowered /f to make any ad- ditions that may be necessary out of the surplus of the endowment fund. They are also given permission to change the lo- cation of thehospital after its erection and to acquire another site if at any timeit will be clearly unwise to maintain the hospital where it is first located. Mr. Barnes Knew trom his many lessons in life the delay which sometimes attends the fulfillment of philanthropic bequests. He therefore enjoined upon his trustees the duty to erect the hospital within the year after the close of the administration of the estate, until which event no work is to be dene upon it. The estate will be wound up in June, 1593, and the trustees will begin the erection of the hospital as soon thereafter as possible. Mr. Barnes said in his will that he did not want the institution to compete with the City Hospital. Any person, he argued, who is able to pay his way when in health ought to be willing to do the same when sick. Such a person should not accept the benefit of a fund intended for the truly deserving. He therefore stipulates that all who can paya small sum for treatment at the hospital shall be required to do so, while those who are deserving and unable to pay anythingare to be cared for free of charge. Thus the institu- tion will care for both free and pay patients METHODISTS IN CHARGE. A strange feature of Mr. Barnes’ bequest for a hospitalis the apparent favoritism shown to the Methodists. His mother was a Metho- dist, but he himself was an Episcopalian in amMiiations and he was buried according to the Episcopal ritual. He explains his action in his last will in these words: ‘‘I think that a person ought to invest his money after death on the same principle that he invests it in business during life, where it will bring the largest income; and I think that my fortune will do the most good through the Methodist Episcopal Church, because while thatisone of the largest of the Protestant denominations, it is the pooresc¢ financially.’’ While he places the Methodists in charge of the hospital, itisto be opento people of ail creeds and nationality. Mr. Barnes in his will gives to his wife, who died two years ago, a great measure of the credit for his lfberal gift to charity, Here- cites that by his first will the bulk of his fort- une was devised to her absolutely, but, at her earnest request, this disposition of his wealth was altered, to have it reposed in her during her lifetime, and thereafter to be de- yoted to the hospital project. The trustees have done nothing as yet to carry out the wishes of Mr. Barnes. It would in fact be impossible. Butthe names of the ee appointed and the immense for- une at their disposal are a solemn gauge that an institution will rise up in memory of Robert A. Barnes, which will ring from the hearts ofthousands now in health, and of other thousands as yet unborn, praises of the man who gave his fortune to alieviate their pains and soothe their agonies. MR. BARNES’ OTHER GIFTS. Mr. Barnes gave generously to charity in his lifetime, but he laid upon his gifts an ironclad pledge of secrecy. His first notable donation wasa grant of $45,000 to Central Col- lege at Fulton, Mo. No secrecy was im- posed and this act ofcharity was widely ad- vertised. At once Mr. Barnes was over- whelmed with begging letters from every past of the country. One woman m Louisiana stated that aoctor advised her to try the ocean winds for her health, and she asked Mr. Barnes to give her $1,000 for a trip to Eu- rope, because she read of his goodness in the local paper. These communications dis- sted Mr. Barnes, a practical, self-reliant usiness man, as he was, and never after was a donation of his gazetted in the public rints. He gave $27,000 to the Methodist piscopal Home a few years ago under the ban of secrecy, and he furnished the funds for fifteen Methodist churches in Southern Missouri, of which the outside public was } ever informed. In addition to this he hada ‘ mber of pensioners who have not been for- ten in his will, An Apology From the Globe. Although our help numbers up into the hundreds, we regret that it was an impossi- bility to properly wait on all our patrons anu friends during last Saturday’s great rush, as it was our desire to do.

AMERICA MURAT HALSTEAD COMPARES LONDON, PARIS AND NEW YORE. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. If you carry a barometer in your shoulder you can feel the rheumatism inthe morning fog of Paris in January, as the sun slowly disperses the low mist. The people arenot helpless when there isa kee} frost, asin Venice, but they are truly sufferers, and even the horses seem depressed rather than exalted in spirit by the keen chillin the at- mosphere. The best train for London is not the much-advertised club train, which goes in the afternoon, but the 11:30 express, which strikes the Channel at the narrowest part, and has the best boats for the crossing. The average American traveler is apt to underrate the requirement for wrapsin the carsona cold day. The French have not reached the altitude in civilization at whichthey over- heat cars. Indeed they do not heat the cars atall. Thereis a hot water copper section of heavy pipe for your feet, that is warm for hours, and when you rest your boots upon it for afew minutes thereisadeep sense of comfort that steals through the bones and blood vessels and tissues as high as the knees. A friend told me that he had enjoyed one pleasant afternoon ina Frenchtrain. There were three hot water flues in his compart- ment, and he had themallto himself. He placed his feet on one. sat on another, and took the other on his lap. In this way he succeeded in thawing himself nearly all the way through. He reminded me of the lady who said that when she was in her closed carriage, well muffled up, anda hot-water heater under her feet, she thought the winter climate of Paris qnite cheerful and enjoy- able. The air of extravagant luxury with which an American basks before an open fire in Paris when it is big and hot enough to make itself known is something that can hardly be adequately estimated without per- sonal contemplation. He doesn’t seem to care whether the forests of France are con- sumed or not. There is consolation occasionally for the consciousness of some American bad babits in observing that Europeans are not ina su- preme sense polite, careful, cleanly and con- Ssiderate always. Iadmit, with compunction and horror, the American habit of éxpectora- tion—the fearful spitting, the frightful cus- pidors, the scattering. tobacco juice—and yet there are public nulsances along the best streets in French and Itallan towns that sur- ass allthe spattered spittoons I have seen nthe marble halls and on the stairs of the National Capitol, and tobacco juice is not quite as diffusive as the rank odors of the continental cigaror the Lritish pipe; andl grow dizzy with a sense of responsibility when I say that American spittiug does not exceed, in aggregate Capacity to disgust, the EKuropean custom of blowing the nose, es- pecially during the prevalence of the plague of influenza. While lam comparing the matters Amerl- can with the things European, 1 should say that the cleanliness of the streets of Paris and London is not as profusely above the New York standard in the winter months as some of us traveled people have been accustomed to assert. The discovery of dust and mud ac- cording to the weather in the streets of Paris is not aificult; and in London, on the great thoroughfares, there is a large supply of plain dirt; and when I ventured to speak of it in a tone of remonstrance, | Wastold it was the unavoidable consequence of an enormous trafic. It is proper to say, however,there is in the French and British capitals evidence of honest street cleaning work, and monnu- mental piles of dirt, scraped together and allowed to remain, arenotseen. Nordowe encounter barreis of garbage, mixed with ashes, on the sidewalks in the best streets at midday. It surprises me to see that the craze that set in a few years ago for wooden pave- ments in Paris and London has not been sup- pressed, but is vastly extended. The princi- pal streets of both cities are paved with wood. The tmperfections of wooden paving are acknowledged, but the plea for it is that no proper system has been found; that asphalt wears out rapidly and is exception- ally slippery;that granite blocks are hide- ously nolgy; that macadam does not wear evenly,is noisy and must be pep, that, while wood wears quickly, it 1s easily rephkired, and has the Svercestng merit of compara- tive noilselessness. I ve been shaken in the presumption that wood must soon be dis- carded from the streets most traveled by the consideration that the real merit ofa ve- ements of ar ae ye putti do n ed n wn, fine roken stone and then a ete, which its like a level erock. Upon this the interstices for tar and , and serve as @ coverin a egy A of hurrying hoofs and be and new ~»biocks are Mic.

It is hard to prevent the wooden pavements from becoming slip- | aed I noticed on the frosty pavements of -aris several tumbles of horses and riders, and in London that heavy draught horses were sorely embarrassed by insecure footing. The insuperable objection at last to wooden pavements, I should think, must be found in their vad oe ny unwholesomeness; but it may be that itis, like bad water and tainted ice, in the nature of an evil it is necessary in a high and crowded civilization to endure. Ishall venture uponacomparison of the docks of New York and those of Liverpool, so far as they affect the lines of steomers De- tween the two ports. Of course, the univer- salideaisthat the Liverpool docks are in- comparably the better—thatit is an act of impertinence to place the great works in du- rable masonry of Liverpool on view with the wooden and ratty aocks of New York. Let us see how it works with the steamships on ar- rivaland departure at the two cities in ques- tion. Leaving New York for Liver- pool, we always walk from the dock upon boat by which we have taken assage. Arrivingat New York, no matter rom what part. ofi the world, we walk ashore, the steamer having been duly se- cured to the dock where she belongs. When we depart from Liverpool for New York, by any line, perhaps the general gentle reader presumes we drive to a magnificent dock and board the boat in a style superior to the facility afforded by New York; but the gen- eral gentle reader has no such presumption after making the journey. When we arrive in Liverpool our great ship anchors so0me- where in the stream, and itis often so rainy and foggy one does not know where, and are tumbled with the small baggage down a steep ship’s -ladder, probably very wet and slippery, upon a tug ‘that barely affords standing room for the passengers, who are crowded like beastsin acattie car, and after steaming miles or furlongs, accordingto the tide, to the landing-place, the trunks are found, after a delay consoling to the reflective American, who remembers the New York Custom-house, upon a counter, and inquiry is made for silver, books, tobacco and spirits, and sometimes there is a quiet inquisition for international dynamite. Such is the delay that itisa good point for travelers to leave their luggage to be arranged by the officious porters and other officiais, and go to the hotel, partaking of supper and returning with abundant leisure to overcome the formalities incident to entering a free trade country. Leaving Liverpool for home, you find by study of the advertisements that at a fixed hour you are tobe at a speci- fled landing, to go aboard—not the ocean steamer, but a tender, that isto convey you to the celebrated racer and record-breaker, whatever her name may be. The tide rises and falls at Liverpool about fifteen feet, and it is the regular thing to walk down a long slide to get to the tender; and you are shipped in a chaos of trunks, many of fantastic shapes and marked with initials and hotel labels until they are such a record as to be quickly identified. The tug gets away at the appointed time, and if the rain is not coplous the fog ts sure to be sufficient for obscurity. It may be half an hour, or even an hour, before you reach your ocean greyhound. She will at last be found smoking away down the river, and the popu- lace taking tothe sea, tramp aboard tn pro- cession. Itisasifin New York one starting for Europe had to take a tug at a city landing and find the boat off Staten Island. ‘Ihe un- traveled American fancies, as he leaves his native land to educate his vanities and all his vexations in Europe, that he will land in Queenstown, Liverpool, Southampton, Bre- menor Hamburg, t he doesn’t. In sight of land (ifthe fog be not too thick), at the entrance toa harbor, he goes aboarda tug, and is dumped often damp with perspiration or wet with rain, and somewhat aroused and excited in his animal and moral nature. There is not, as a rule, an appeal made to his religious sensibilities. Once upon a time, a yearortwo ago, there was a crusade in the most scintillant of our New York newspapers against the American Hog—the human animal who infests our country and ip public-places makes a display of brutal greed and selfish vulgarity. The displays most noticed were those in railway cars. The European Hogs areas voracious of space and privileges as those of our own continent. One of ths highest examples in our country is that of aman occupying ina crowded train twice the room he has paid for. I have seena pairofthem in Europe remove the property of others placed to se- cure seats and take as much space as sufficed for four other persons, doing it with cold- blooded impudence and ostentatious indiffer- ence to the convenience of ladies; and the pair of hogs had a lunch-Dasket, from which they stuffed themselves, using the whole com- partment as if it were their exclusive dinifig- room. The European necessity of traveling in cars that are not heated has caused the mujtipli- cation of devices for maintaining the warmth of the y in an atmos re of low tempera- ture. There is no doubt thatthe cars grow fe fur-lined, with that ee. Pe ae Se4) oe} Beno ot Oe aS —_ ar ge RE oS ¢ “- : ae ph #? ‘ . 7 ad WE ADVERTISE. SOMMERS & 1120 and 1122 OLIVE STREET. beheld a British statesman get into his foot- bag. It was lined with coonskins and cov- ered his hips. This, with an overcoat that was caped and fur-collared, made him proof against the grim blasts of January. Looking upon this gentleman, I felt that my heavy but unadorned overcoat and shawl to cover my legs were inadequate, and I did not begin to feel cold until the evident luxury of my traveling companion persuaded me of the in- sufficiency of my equipment. The most com.- fortable way to travelat night in England, I am assured, is to take a foot-bag, a bundle of rugs, a plllow, a double overcoat and Scotch cap, With a lunch basket; give the guard 8 shillings to hold acompartment for you, and make your own bed. in this way you can at least have some assurance that the bed-cloth- ing is clean. Within the last quarter of a ae the Americans have invaded Europe with many of their notions, and there are some traces of | their conquests. They have notdone many things more remarkable than the triumphant introduction of ice water. When, on the way from Vienna to Dresden, I say the Eibe high and full of ice, I felt an American thrill such as one should experience on discovering far from home the flag of our country. There was a sense of satisfaction in looking upon sucha torrent of ice water inthe heart of EKurope. Now the American is not regarded as an idiot and treated with derision when he wantsa pitcher of ice water to cool his stomach withnal when he goes to bed, and even in the most benighted lands the American idea that water is sometimes ood to quench the thirst of men as well as horses makes way. Asto horses, the American is mistaken in holding that his country possesses all the noble steeds upon earth. There are splendid creatures in abundance in Italy, Austria, Germany, France and England, especially the two latter. There has been a marked im- provement in the breeding of horses within the life of the present generation in all civil- ized lands and the result is seen in the quality of the animals harnessed in carts, as well as carriages and underthe saddle. The streets of Paris and London afford horse shows worth long journeys to see. Singular as it may seem to the average Americ ncitizen, the Englishmen generally are fairly well satisfied with their form of government. They are not enthusiasts on the subject of royalties, but hold with obsti- nate complacency that itis a great point not to be bothered with presidential elections. Still, they donot accept unhesitatingly the suggestion that if it isa good thing to be rid of presidential elections, through a system of royalty, it might be advantageous, and cer- tainly logical, to lodge the executive actually rather than nominally in the Crown,and have Parliaments appointed. There is a notion deeply imbedded in the British heart that there Is less corruption in the monarchical than the republican form ofthe administra- tion of imperial trusts;and the English trav- elers are fond of airing their views to this effect. Ioverheard in an English railway caraconversation between an Englishman and an American as follows: Englishman: ‘‘This is the year, is it not, of your presidential election; and another Con- gress Is elected also, if lam not in error?’’ American: *‘Yes, we elect a President this year, and he will be inaugurated a year from the 4th of March. We do not elect a UCon- gress, but the popular branch of it—the House—next fall, and this House will be of the first Congress of the next administra- tion.’’ Englishman: ‘‘Exactly,that’s it; and these elections are terribly expensive and awfully corrupt also, are they nut?’’ American: ‘‘We are willing toge at some ex- pense to keep affairs in our own’ hands, We donot think the monarchical system has been found economical, either in Russia, England or Turkey, for example. and if you want to go to the American continent for ex- amples of bribery and corruption, recent of- ficialreports show that you do not need to descend to a lower latitude than that of Canada. They show at least there is no guarantee in being subjects of Her Majesty po on bribery and corruption on the largest scale,’’ The Englishman seemed to be able to un- derstand what was said and to keenly ap- preciate the appjication. He winced and worried; said, Yes, it wasavery disgraceful State ofaffairs, and he chaypged the subject with abruptness. London has suffered from fogs this winter in such a degree that they may be said to be a burning question. That is, at least tnere is so much smoke in the airthat there ig a great deal of fire in the public purpose. During four days of Christmas week, incfuding Christmas Day, there was a fog so black as to suspend business, and the iosses conse- quent were tremendous. A deal is re- quired to dishearten London, but this blot- ting out of Christmas did it, and there are There. aysI 700 in the distant, and one could vaaeir one 4 two or three of the half-masted flags at the same time, and the banners droo the fore coal fire, je tengen | with fervent We invite you to call and’ look through, NO CHARGE FOR SEW- ING CARPETS THIS WEEK.

Whatistobe done with the people in London fsa problem as rofoundas it Is in New York. The great horoughfares are inconceivably crowded and still the swelling multitudes come, How, if this goes on, the millions are to be housed, fed, and, above all, trans- ported,is a mystery. The omnibuses,cabs and carriages seem to have about reached the limit of their ability; and ¢o of the railroads, circular and underground. The air is satu- rated with smoke; the water is insufficient, and not of the best; the transportation over- whelmod, Gas may be made atthe pits and iped to London; water may. be m in ‘elsh mountains and poured upon the city; but if the floods of population still accumu. late in London, how shall they be handled in their going and coming? I should think ele- vated railroads would meet the requirements ofa few years; and such street-car systems as are established in Paris, Vienna and Berlin would render material assistance; but there is a demand beyond that, and the supply is not in sight.

Hughes, 101 North Broadway, St. Louis, Mo, Ancient Cave Dwellers in Asia. The Russians have made a singular discov- ery in Central Asia. In Turkestan, on the right bank of the Amou Daira, ina chain of rocky hills, near the Bokharan town of Karki, are a number of large caves, which, u examination, were found to lead to an under- ground city, built, apparently, long before the Christian era, says the S Americ@n, According tothe effigies, inscriptions and de- signs upon the gold and silver money earthed from among the ruins, the exist of the town dates turies before the birth oof Christ. The edifices contain all kinds of domestic utensils, pots, urns, vases, and so forth. The rey 2 Gegree of civilization attained by inhabitants of the city is shown by the that they built in several stories, by the sym- metry ofthe streets and squares and by the beauty of the baked clay and metal ut and of the ornaments and coins which ha been found. supposed that long centue ries ago this city. so carefully pee in the bowels of the earth, provi an entire population with a refuge from the incursions of nomadic savages and robbers.

Every magistrate in animal, and it assumes most Some are life-sized and covered with fur, while others are made of cake, Chocolate, or sweet sugar plums, ; Fathers and mothers make little nests of moss in ali.gorts of out of the way places and fill them with cunning little eggs and all the children have great frolics on ter morn- ing hunting the nests and finding the treas- ures. IN ITALY. In Italy the ‘‘Ovi di Pasqua’’ is a cherished favorite among the common people, and also those of high degree, even the Queen of the throne devoting a large sum of money every year tothe custom. In great houses there are tables spread with snowy cloths | and covered with Deaut!i- e were frorder that each might dis- tinguish his or her egg and f SISTER SIMPLICIA’S EASTER. Only One Face Was Seen, But It Brought Back the Old Life. When the great bell at the Convent of Our Lady chimed out on Easter morning its peal fellon the ears of Sister Simplicia, who for two hours had been kneeling in silent prayer in the chapel, The light of the rising sun streamed wards. The rustics for instance used to rise betimes in England on Easter mornto seethe sun dance with joy, a custom which is followed in parts of Ireland now. One of the most popular observances with yokels and servants was styled ‘‘lifting.’’ It is thus described by an English writer in 1799: ‘‘l was sitting alone last Easter Tues- Gay at breakfast at Talbot-in-Shrewsbury, when the female servants. of the house appeared, bearing an arm-chair decorated with ribbon. Iasked them what they want- ed. Theiranswer was they came to heave _me. It was the custom of the place, and they hoped I would take a seat in their chair. Wishing to see the ceremony, I seated myself accordingly. The groupthen lifted me up, turned the chair about and I had the felicity ofa chaste salute from each maid. Having gatisfied the damsels with regard to the fee, they quietly withdrew.’ ee es ‘*‘LIFTED’’ THE KING. There is an ancient record preserved In the Tower of London to the effect that certain,)- ladies and maids of honor received some money for lifting King Edward in bedog Easter morrow. Very possibly the modern children’s pastime of ‘‘making a chair’’ isa relic of this custom. Games of -bandball Were very popular at Easter. It was cus- tomary for the higher clergy of the church to join in with the. lesser priests. A curious custom prevailed in Chester, where the game ig actually part of the cathedral service. Bishops, deans and choristers danced to slow measure before the altar while solemnly throwing the ball one to another. Prizes of what they called ‘‘tansy cakes’’ were given at these ‘ball games. They were a preparation of flour, sugar, butter, cream and tansy. Solden makes the observation somewhere that the tansy bad reference to the bitter herbs used by the Jews at the Passover. Brady in his Olavis _Calendaria has an interesting note. The Jews contrived to diminish the bitter flavor oftansy by making it into a sort of sweet pickle for their paschal lamb; hence our in- dispensable mint sauce. One of the most an- cient of customs was that of exchanging presents of pasche or Easter eggs variously colored. The method of decorating them was eubstantially the same as at present, being simply immersed in hot water, while the de- signs, etc., are traced with a candle end; the exes were then placedina pan of hot water and sometimes dye; the part touched by the candle being impervious to the dye, the dye came out boldly. The eggis supposed to have been an em- blem of the resurrection. The early fathers of the church had 4 great deai of difficulty in coming toan agreement as tothe means orf determining the proper position of the mov- able Easter feast inthe yearly calendar. It wasifinaliy settled in the seventh century that it be on ‘‘the first Sunday after full moon, which happens upon or next alter the vernal equinox.’’ MAUNDAY THURSDAY. i Me eae Aaa ce ; ~—s 4% Holy Thursday was usually spoken of as Maunday Thursday, really its most appro- riate name. Maunday is variously said to derived from Mandy, as Christ on that day enjoined or commanded his disciples to do certain things; or from the Saxon word maund, meaning basket, andso any almsor offerings contained in baskets. Alms-giving was always an important feature of the day. The Kings and Queens of Engiand used re- ligiously to wash and kiss the feet of as many r men and women as they were years old, besides bestowing Mandy upon them. An account has been handed down of Queen Elizabeth performing this ceremony when 3y years ofage. The seventy odd pauper feet were first carefully scrubbed, however, by experienced laundry attendants in warm water and herbs; then Her Virgin Majesty, with charming graciousness, added a few ——— the land and every Government official, from the highest tothe lowest, allover that vast wild country is bound by law, as well as cus- tom, to take part in the solemn ceremony, The deepest gloom pervadesthe waiting multitude. Every head is bent in prayer, every heart seems tobe borne down by the weight of sad memories thatrecall the pite- ous death of the world’s only Saviour, Suddenly the bell tolls the hour of midnight and instantly the lights grow brilliant, the choir bursts forth into glad songand the or- gan peals outa hymn oftriumph. Christ has risen from the dead and allthe people shout forjoy. They shake hands with each other and embrace with fond emotions each wait- ful eggs, all hidden among flowers and vines, and to these the poor are invited all throughg Easter week. Every visitor is made wel- come, fed with cholcest viands and upon leaving is offerred an egg to bear away in remembDerance of the holy season. The gay citizens of Naples exchange stained eggs and baskets of confectionery among themselves, and offer these tokens of good- will to every passer-by, no matter how great a stranger or humble nis lot. : AUSTRIA AND FRANCE, In Austria and France, the ancient customs are sacredly observed. The shops are filled with every variety of these spring-time offerings, wood, ivory, giass, sugar, chocolate, gold, silver and Easter other materials being pressed into service to finishing touches with the assistance of some thirty-nine ladies. James Il. was the last monarch who personaliy performed this cer- emony ; afterwards it was always done by the : almoner. On Good Friday a very remarkable and curious custom wasin vogue for many cen- turies, It was called the hallowing of rings. Rings thus consecrated were supposed to ward off attacks of illness, and the ceremony . had always to be performed by the King, who would craw! in abject humility to the altar, there solemnly bless the rings which were placed before him, afterwards retiring in the same humble manner. The custom is said to have arisen on account of the alleged powers of an ancient ring preserved for many years in Westminster Abbey. It was once the prop- erty of Edward the Confessor, who is said to have made good use of it as a healing power. | Y Hot cross buns date back toa very remote Yi? period. In England the boysrun about the , streets before dawn calling out ‘*Hot cross buns, one a penny. two a penny, hot cross buns.’’ In the last century London pastry cooks vied with each otherin the excellence of their buns. Two famous ‘‘Royal Bun Houses’’ existed for many years at Uhelsea. One had to getthere early on Friday ii he wished to secure a choice of buns, One of the strangest of the ancient Easter religious customs was that of preaching funny sermons as Fabula Paschale. This idea pre- Vaileda not only in England but in many parts of Evrope. it was probably considered necessary forthe clergy to amuse their congre- gations after their long season of tasting and er.

Possibly some of the ancient flavor may linger in this version: | A HUMOROUS EASTER HOMILY. Along time ago there lived a smith and his wife in a certain village. One night they were Visited by our Lord and St. Peter on their travels. On departing mext day the august ests, appreciative of the hospitality they d received agreee to grant their humble ~ trrtainers whatever they chose toask for. a Fue wife replied that she hoped onl eaven. ‘‘Certainly,’’ said St. Peter, ‘ oO for pen * Coa , Cog! ™-- your mouth, did I not say so?

Be of good cheer there- fore.’’ And the dame was much comforted, notwithstanding the allusion contained in the saint’s remark. The smith pondered ee when his turn came,then said that he red to have four wishes realized. First, anyone climbed the pear tree in his garden could not come down without permission; gecond, thatif anyone sat down inadvert- : ently upon his anvil he would not be able to i Fise without leave; third, ifanyone were ec. ar centric enough to crawl up his flue he would ef | be obliged to remain there indefinitely at the * ve . : SSSA SSsssS.s - 4 7 * * WEICOME, SK IRC OF.

Often these dainty toys are madeto be opened and dis- close a still more exquisite keepsake hidden in their depths.

They gather on some grassy hiliside and roll their eggs, one after another, down to the bottom, Every boy who can aim so skillfullyas to overtake his is the proud winner of the game and can cone he conquered egg and carry it of asa rival’s egg and break it or run it off the track fiscate t trophy, through the stained-glass windows and fell across the nun’s pale, inscrutable face. Softly, gently from the choir rose the chorus of voices In the Easter hymn, **C fills et filix, tex coelestis, Rex glorim, Morte surrexit hodie, Allehuia.’’ As the ‘‘allehuia’’ rang out Sister Sim- plicita’s face became transfigured. A Won- derful face it was—the face of a woman who has lived and suffered, and conquered, too, Sister Simplicia was a mystery in the little community of which sheformeda part. No one, save Mother Patricia, Knewanything of her life before she entered the Convent of Our Lady. That she was a woman of good-breed- ing, refinement and education was _ self- evident. Her accomplishments were varied and she possessed a superb contralto voice. A woman, too, of great sympathy and ten- derness, she was the idol of the children who boarded in the institution, ‘*Sister! sister!’’ cried many happy Nttle ones, as she stepped into the concert garden after prayers, and she was at once sur- rounded by a group of beautiful children, plucking at her gown and clinging to her hands. She hada smile, a caress or gentle greeting forall, and as she gathered great clusters of the tall, stately annunciation lilles to decorate the chapel, the children buzzed and fluttered abuut her like bees and butterfiles. When the last fair Mly had found Its place and the air of the chapel was heavy with pér. fume, Sister Sfmplicia passed into the choir to run over for the last time the solo she was to sing at the public service. Pergolesi’s ‘*Stabat Mater’’ was to be done hy the choir, a chorus of children’s voices and the accom- paniment of organ and ’cellos. The music at public festivals was famous at Our Lady’s, and large audiences always assembled to enjoy it. And now through the chapel crept the soft rustle of silken skirts, the gentle footfall of the fast-thronging worshipers. Suddenly the organ’s swell shook the building; the riests and acolytes entered, The service had erun. Mingled with the odor ofthe lilies rose the fragrant breath of the incense; the musical monotone of the officiating priest re. sounded through the aisles; the low murmur of the worshipers’ replies seemed like the muttering of a distant storm, and a glorious fiood of sunlight Ht up the windows until every saintand martyr stood revealed ina blaze of gorgeous color. When Sister Simplicia rose in her place the white hand she laid uponthe railing trem. bled, ‘Lhe lights, the color, the music, the holy hour suddenly moved her as the calm,im.- passive nun had not been moved for years, Just before and above her swayed a large cross of lilies. Raising her eyes to the sacred emblem, Sister Simplicia ene. As the rich, deep voice floated over the heads of the hushedand listening throng, a man standing just before the chancel turned quickly and looked up at the carved lattice, ‘*In tanto supplicio,’’ rang out the wonder- ful voice. ‘*It’s Sister Simplicia,’’ whispered some one in the rev behind the man whose uplift- ed a had grown white and tense as he lis- tened, ‘*She must see me,’” he murmured to him- self. ‘*Quis non posset contristan,’ sang Sister Simplicia. At that instant her eyes cast sence | through the choir grating atjthe throng below her fell on one listener, For one supreme moment Sister Simplicia faced the past.

From the New York Ledger, The glad event we now commemorate stands absolutely alone, with nothing like it Ip the history of human thought or belief, There and would awaketo sally forth and restore the glories ofthe empire and the house of Hohenstaufen. Our us how King Arthur had sailed away to his island home of Avalon, whence, when neD- pee days came, hé would emerge to Keep his able Round in a pure and chivalrous court. But these and all similar ideas come from and return to the dust of mythical imagina- tion, and death in all these cases Is denied. But Christ dies. The awful silence of Gethsemane’s sleeping wood, the kiss of be- trayal, the strange sacrifice which illumi- nated the tree of shame and breathed the gsentic love of God, are absolute realities which led up to the glory of Easter. Death is endured, not eluded, and ourfaith must grope down into the very darkness of Hades ere it abides upon the throne of kingship. He isrisen. We go with Mary to the tomb in the early twilight of that Easter dawn 1892 yearsago. Thetears of grief are upon the pale face of womanly woe. But as the tender ight shoots up into the eastern sky, the Orient trembles with a new presence, and glows as with Infinite surprise. It was, indeed, dawn! Not only had the morning come, but with it the perfecting of human hopes, the crowning of human rapture, The tomb was empty. ‘‘lie is risen!’’ was the glad cry of wondering disciples. We re-echo it on down the ages through this anniversary and festival. **Easter’’ is a word derived from Teutonic mythology; the name of the Anglo- goddess of spring. But its reels aX has eclipsed its pagan reminiscence. the title was sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; if the day was sown a Uttle glint of time, it rises big with eternal splen- or. For lo!in that tomb, the gloomiest earth had known, because the grave of the holiest known to earth, a torch has been kindied which makes sabie Death luminous as @ min- istering angel, and forces from him his dread secret to translate it into the resurrection and the ife. We went with Mary weeping, but returnwith her rejoicing, triumphant ina risen Lord. And to-day the East and West will unite. Different kind nations and tongues will join in the glad Hallelujah! which ushers in this the chief festival of Christianity, sinceit is Christian- ity’s basisand explanation. In our beloved land and the mother country from whence we came, beneath the glittering of the Ons? ern Cross andi Ceyljon’s spicy groves, amid the palms of the Ind and the vine-clad hills of Castile, from worshipers at 8t. ter’s superb altar, and famine-stricken peasants on Kkussia’s dreary steppes, the cry will re. sound, ‘‘Heis Risen!

And down the moon-illumined hall The blazoned banners fall and rise; Grand faces glimmer on the wall With the proud pathos of dead eyes; Here Belvere’s princely suitors kneel To many a high-born Gascon dame; There Kaldwin’s battie-blushing steel Glints with a keen, unwavering flame, But woe is me, whose fevered lips Have drained those entene splendors dryj For whom the years, in wild eclipse, Like shrouded specters, wander by!

Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. VALETTA, Malta, March 25.—The visitor to Malta isa long while in tiring ofthe historic, architectural and social attractionsof Va- letta, especially in the sunny winter time when day and night seem filled with an end- less round of brilliant scenes and gayety. But if interestinthe splendid old city of the Knights should begin to wane there would still be found an extraordinary charm inthe easily-made excursions to various points of interest in Malta and the adjoining islands and a most pleasing study of the peas- antry under their curious conditions of en- vironment. The coast scenery of Western Malta andall of Gozo ts very beautiful indeed, while oc- casionally it reaches positive grandeur. For the Bible student there are the scene of the shipwreck of St. Paul and several places made famous by the apostle’s stay upon the island. For the simply curious traveler there are the many ruined summer palacesof the grand masters, ancient and interesting for- talices and palaces of the Inquisition. The antiquarian will discover a larger number of prehistoric remains than upon any other equa} area, with catacombs as fine as those of Syracuse and greater than those of Rome, Geologists find extraordinarily favorable conditions for researches, owing to the bare, denuded condition of the island, with its rocky seashores and noble cliff exposures, And naturalists haunt the islands in winter for studies of its richand winsome tenantry of palgratary birds. The most beautiful examples of coast scen- ery are'to be found upon Gozo. It is so near that a day’s excursion in a little felucca, manned by two or three picturesque and in- cessantly chattering boatmen, will give onea continuous feast of changeful scene, and almost a complete survey ofall coast points ofinterest. ‘the shores of Malta are com- pletely lined with fishermen or women and children gathering seaweed for enriching the scant soil of the island, and every little cove is alive with color and soundful with song. Kven in winter the sparkling and phos horescent waters of the Mediterranean are here D dand warm to the touch, and the young Maltese disport in the waves durin their arduous labors like bevies of playfu seafow!; while the most dangerous cliffs and precipices are so crowded with them in their quest for eggs, the young of the seafow! in- habiting the crannies of the cliffs, and for the various forms of vegetation which are stored with miserly care for fuel and manure, that, atsome distance, the blending of colors of costume with the grays and greens of the island crags, often gives the curious illusion that the seawalls are aflame with gigantic tropical flowers. kue topograp of Gozo ts very beautiful. It is charmingly diversified by hill and dale. Many of its sunny valleys are natural and artificial gardens of wondrows luxuriance,. I have nowhere seen their equal, save in those marvelous garden vaies behind beautiful Palermo in Sicily. ‘Ihe shores present, save at a very few points, perpendicular sea walls; and on the westernand northwestern coasts they often rise straight from the water’s edge to a height af over 2.000 feet. ‘These abound in caves of great size and splendor; their sides and brows arethe haunts of myriad sea-fow]; their heights here and there show stunted and lonely palms; and the air about them with the sky aboveare often almost white with millions of the slowly sailing and exquisitely beautiful little Adriatic gulls. 1 cannot vouch for the emotions of others butasI first tramped over the heights of Nasciar, descending into the valley beyond, and saw spread before me the Bay of St. Paur, a sense of awe mingled with glorious elation came with the stillness and beauty ofthe apot where the heroic Apostle was ship- wrecked. ‘The bay, w hich is about two miles one, ane one in breadth, is situated on the n rn coast of Malta, and is ha dista brisk two hours’ walk from the ci etta. ge boy excursions are made hither by water from Malta's capital, and eften the pet at gives or ean iigrims.

HIDEOUS MEMORY TRANSMITTED FROM ANTE-DILUVIAN DAYS. Written for the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH. Akira tells me that in the book called Jizo- kio-kosui, this legend is related of the great statue of Jizo in this same ancient temple of Ken-cho-ji: Formerly there lived at Kamakura the wife of a Ronin* named Soga Sadayoshi. She lived by feeding silkworms and gathering the silk. She used often to visit the temple of Ken-cho- gi; and one very cold day she went there, she thought that the image of Jizo looked like one suffering from cold, and she resolved to make it a cap to keep the God’shead warm, such a cap asthe people ofthe country wear in cold weather. And she went home and made the cap, and coveredtne God’s head with it, saying: ‘*Would I were rich enough to give thee a warm covering for all thine august body; but, alas!I am poor, andeven this which I offer thee is unworthy of thy divine accept- ance.’’ Now this woman died ‘suddenly in the 50th year of her age, in the twelfth month of the fifth year of the period called Chisho. But her body remained warm for three days, so that her relatives would not suffer her to be taken to the burning ground. Andon the evening of the third day she came to life again. Then she related that on the day of her death she had gone before the Judgment seat of Eunna, King and Judge of the Dead, and Eunna, seeing her, became wroth, and said to her: ‘*You have been a wicked woman, and have scorned the teachings of the Buddha. All your life you have passed in destroying the lives of silkworms by putting them into heated water. Now you shall go to the Kwarkkto-Jigoku, and there burn until your gins shall be expiated.’’ Where is he? I see at the further end of the chamber an altarelevated upon a platform image, only the usual altar furniture of gilded bronze and lacquer-ware. Behind the altar I see only a curtain about six feet square, acurtain once dark red, now almost without any definite hue, probably velling some alcove. A temple guardian approaches and invites us toascend the platform. Ire- move my shoes before mounting upon the matted surface, and follow the guardian be- hindthe altar, infront of thecurtain. He makes me a sign to look and lifts the veil witha es rod, And suddenly, out of the blackness of some | mysterious profundity, masked by that som- ber curtain, there glowers upon me an ap- parition at whose aspect I feel my heart start and begin to beat violently, a monstrosity exceeding all anticipation, a face, A Face—tremendous, frightful, menacing, dull red as with the redness of neated iron, cooling into gray. The first shock of the vision absolutely numbs the _ perceptive faculty forthe moment; one feels almost as if unexpectedly confronted with some terri- ble and totally unfamiliar life, Known to be dangerous through intuition only, through ancestral impulses perpetual in instincts. But as the surprise passes, I begin to discern the astounding energy of the conception, to seek the secret of this awful art. And the wonder of it is not in the enormous tiger- frown, nor in the violence of the terrific mouth, widely opened as tocrash a thunder curse, nor in the appalling passions and ghastly color ofthe head as a whole; it is in the eyes—eyes of insanity, eyes demoniac, eyes of nightmare. There comes to me the doubt whether nightmare—fear itself, so strangely unlike any fear ever left in waking moments—might not be a memory of fear,transmitted through innumerable generations from some antedl- luvian past—the physical tradition of weird powers possessed by long extinct beings to torpify their prey after a mode most feebly suggested in our existing world by the ghast- ly electric life of certain eels, and the mes- merism of the serpent’seye. The art which created this horror before me suggests the question: The face Is the materialization ofa dream—one of these dreams that paralyze will. > Now this weird oldtemple has its legend, Seven hundred years ago, ‘tis said, there died the great imagemaker, the great busshi —Unke-Sosel. And Unke-Sosei_ signifies ‘‘Unke who returned from the dead.’’ For when he came before Eunna, the Judge of ———EEE————— —— ~~ — OOo” ae : SE a Ee, eres + yom" a“ ° wa sgn * 5 lags VW ‘ e f itl Z| f’ ‘ 4 | 7s “mil | | (! yy, Pe, | (| vf it 1 i \ Nan ‘\ a "eu ttn, nam oe Pr rive S= eens we ftrere ue i Secevees 4 FFs ma iia = mR = th lao Wpnee’t>_ Seng hls = eS tags oo= piiacreee: ‘i Migs: ilbeygges capaede=*s tf = Mg Dana tepe gins ss aoc ae ~Hh, s "iy oni ot WS eee wait Apes wevcocesceecnt ( ——-- Seer yeuueecsseeryties. 1 Paget s 7 - 24, mn b Neat 4° J Seveets a Pettit pores et, ( (WP ‘S Wei . be i rt fl i wii : Wine un ° se a / mei re l a ri aS", , 4 wt f f ae * 7s .

And he went with her before King Eunna and asked that she should be pardoned for his sake—for as much as she had become related to him by one act of good- ness. Soshe found pardon and returned to the Shaba world. ‘*akira‘’ Lasked, ‘‘it cannot then be law- ful, according to Buddhism, for any one to wear silk?’’ mae ¢ weary bengali replies Akira; and by the law of Buddha, priests are forbidden to wear silk.

The statue was in- deed naked, but clothes were put upon it; and it stood upright with its feet upon a chess-board. Now when pilgrims came to the temple and paidacertain fee the priest ofthe temple would remove the clothes of the statue, and then all could see that — the face was the face of Jigo, the body was the body of a naked woman. Now, this was the origin of the famous image of Hadaka Jizo, standing upon the chess board. On one ccasgion the great Gessel, ‘Taire-no-Tokyoril, was playing chess with his wife in the presence of many guests, And be made her agree, after they had played several gamés, that whoever should lose the next game would have to stand naked on the chess board. And inthe next game they layed his wife lost. Andshe prayed to Jizo osave her from the shame of appearing naked. And Jizo came in answer to her rayer, aird stood upon the chess board and Bisrobed himself, and changed his body sud- denly intothe body of a woman, + As we travel on, the road curves and nar- rows between higher elevations, and be- comes more somber. ‘‘O! mate!’’ my Buddhist guide calis softly to the runners; and our twbd vehicies haltin a band of sun- shine, descending through an opening !n the foliage of immense trees, Over a flight of an- cient, mossy steps of stone, ‘*Here,’’ says my friend, ‘‘is the temple of the King of Death; it is called Eunna-Do, and it isa tem- le of the Zen-sect, Zen-Oji, and it is more han 700 years old, and there is a famous statue in it.’’ We ascend to a small narrow court in which the edifice stands. At the head of the steps, tothe right, is a stone tablet, ver old, with characters, cut at least an inc deep into the granite of it—Chinese charac- ters pignity ing: ‘**This is the temple of n Nebd The Lemania resembles outwardly and in- wardly the others we have visited and, like those of Shaka and of the colossal Jizo of Kamukura, has a paved floor, so that we are not obliged to remove our shoes on entering.

And UnkKe-Sosei, bearing with him always the memory of the countenance of Eunna, wrought this image of him, which still !n- spires fear in all who behold it; and he made also, to stand by it, the likeness of the Magic Mirror of Souls, and the Head with two Faces, which are witnesses before Eunna— andthe images of the grim Jin O, the Tem Gods obeying Eunna—wnich sit throned about the temple.

The guardian aisap- pears behind a screen, and presently re- turns dragging with him the Oni—the image of a demon, naked, blood red, indescribably ugly. The Onilis about three feet high. He stands in an attitude of menace, brandishing® a club; he has a head shaped something like the head ofa bull dog, with brazen eyes; and his feet are like the feet of a lion. Very gravely the guardian turns the grotesquery round and round, that I may admire its every aspect; while a naif crowd collects before the open door to look at the stranger and the demon. Then the guardian finds me a rude woodcut of Eunna, witha sacred inscription printed upon it; and assoon as I have paid for it, he proceeds to stamp the paper with the seal of the temple.

CONCLUSION OF LORD WOLSELEY’S CRIT- ICAL REVIEW OF HIS CAREER. Written for the SUNDAY PoOsT-DISPATCH. The officer of regular troops intrusted with the duty of quickly raising levies for immedi- ate war service is often too prone to think that his one great endeavor should be to ‘‘set them up’’ and so Instruct them in drill as to make them look as much Iike regulars as possible, Asa matter of fact, he. almost ir- variably fails to accomplish his aim, and in his well-meant efforts too often robs them of their only good quality—in a military point of view, I mean—the fearless dash and goso often possessed by undisciplined fighting men. Like the well-meaning missionary, who, tn persuading the heathen to believe no longer in their idols, robs them of their only spiritual faith without being able to induce them to accept Christianity in its place, the result is usually disastrous in both cases. The troops, especially the horse, raised by Mon- mouth during his rebellion, are avery good illustration of what I mean. But Forrest never fell into any such error. He had no knowledge of military science nor of military history to teach him how he should act, what objective he should aim at, and what plans he should maketo secure it. He was entirely ignorant of what other Gen- erals in previous wars had done under very similar ciucumstances. This wascertainlya great misfortune for him,and a serious drawback to his public usefulness. But what he lacked in book lore was, toa large extent, compensated for by the soundness of his judgment upon all occasions, and by his power of thinking and reasoning with great rapidity under fire, and under all circum- stances of surrounding peril or of great mental or bodily fatigue. Panic found no resting place in that calm brain of his, and no dangers, norisks appalled that dauntless spirit. Inspired with true military instincts, he was, most verily, nature’s soldier. His force was largely composed of wild and reckless men, who all lookedto him as their master, their leader, and over whom he had obtained the most complete control. He possessed that rare tact—unlearnable from books—which enabled him not only effective- ly tocontrol these flery, turbulent spirits, but to attach them to him personally ‘‘with hooks of steel.’’ .In him they recognized not only the daring, able, and successful leader but alsothe commanding officer who would not hesitate to punish with severity when he deemed punishment necessary. He thoroughly understood the nature and dis position of those he had to deal with, their strong and their weak points, what they coulda and could not accomplish, He never veritured to hamper their freedom of action by any sort ofstiff barrack-yard drill, or to einbarrass it by any preconceived notions of what a soldier should lookfiike. They were es- sentially irregulars by nature, and he never attempted to rob them of that char- acter. They possessed as an inheritance all the best and most valuable fight- ing qualities of the irregulars, accustomed as they were from boyhood to horses and the use oOfarms, and brought up with all the devil-may-care, lawless notions of the frontiersman. Butthe most volcanic spirit among them felt he must bow before the su- perior iron wiliofthe determined man who led them, There wasa something about the dark-gray eye of Forrest which warned his subordinates he was not to be trifled with, and would stand no nonsense from either friend or foe He wasessentially a practical man ofaction, with a dauntless, flery soul anda heart that knew no fear. To take my readers through his military career would be to rewrite the history of most of the war in the Southern States of the Confederacy. He was present at the eventful Battle of Shiloh, a brilllant Secessionist vic- tory one dav,adefeatthe day after. When Gen. Beauregard’s line of battle halted on the evening of Sunday, April6,in the midst of the Federal camps which had been taken, his troops were thoroughly exhausted, and thought only of obtaining food from the cap- tured supply wagons. Forrest on his own initiative pushed forward his scouts to watch the enemy’s doings, and soon discovered that large Federal reinforcements were being ferried over the Temnessee River. He at once perceived the gravity of the position, and did all he could to communicate this to his army headquarters, but no one knew where they were. In his search to find them he fellin with the officer commanding an infantry brigade to whom he said, in his own rough colloquial vernacular: ‘*‘If the enemy come onus in the morning, we shall be whipped like hell.’’ His prophecy was not far wrong,and by Monday night Gen. Beauregard’s army was in full retreat. Gen. Sherman pressed the retiring Confed- erates very hard all Tuesday, the s8thof April; upon one occasion duringwthe day Forrest with about 3850 men kKeenly watched his opportunity for an offensive return from behind aridge which afforded his soldiers good protection. The Federal advanced guard of -two battalions of cavalry and a regiment of foot, upon reaching the ridge, at once proceededto attack it with great spirit, but in crossing a little in- tervening rr vine and stream fell into some confusion. Forrest, with his usual quick military per- ception of suchan opening, at once told his bugler to sound the ‘*‘Charge!’’ and, pistol in hand, dashed in among the astonished Fed- erals. ‘The effect was instantaneous. The enemy’s horsemen fied back panic-stricken through the woods, scattering their own Iin- fantry, who quickly doubled afterthem, A scene ofthe greatest confusion ensued, and Forrest, pursuing for some distance, killed many,and took some seventy prisoners. With his usual bardihood, pushingon well ahead of his men, he soon found himself face to face with the enemy’s main body and under a galling fire from all sides. A ball struck him above the hips, and, hurting his spine, at once benumbed his right leg. His horse, though mortally wounded, still enabled him to bolt for his life through a crowd of the en- emy who shouted, ‘‘Killhim!’’ ‘*Shoot him!’’ etc. An unerring shot with his revolver, he soon cleared a path for himself, and found once more at least temporary safety among his own men. It Was many weeks before he was again able to take an active part in the war. ‘The following description of this affair by Gen. Sherman will, I think, interest my readers: The enemy’s cavalry came down boldly ata charge lea by Gen, Forrest in person, breaking through our lines of skirmishers, when the infantry, without cause, threw away their muskets and fled. The round was adinirablv adapted to a defense of in- antry against cavalry, Being miry and covered with fallen timber. As the regiment of infantry broke, Dickey’s cavalry began to discharge their carbines, and fell into disorder. A couple of months afterthe battle of Shiloh Forrest was sent to commend a cavalry brigade at Chattanooga, and bidding good- dye to his old regiment, set out in June, 1862, for this new sphere of action. Within a month of entering upon this new command he had taken Murfreesboro in Tennessee. It was one of the most remarkable achieve- ments of his life. His force consisted of not more than about 2,000 badly armed.men on horseback. A five days’ march brought him before that place at early dawn—the enemy being in entire ignorance of its presence. surprised in their camp, and charged in the streets of the town, the place was soon taken. Itwas Forrest’s birthday, and the evening before, when he told his men this, he begged they would celebrate it by their courage. His appeal was not in vain, for they never fought better or against greater. odds, After the town had fallen, there remained two camps outside in which the Federals stil showed fight. Before setting out to attack them many who did not know Forrest regarded this enterprise as rash and doomed to failure; and now several of his officers urged the aig: oo of be- ing content with what e had already achieved, and begged him to fall back at once with the stores and prisoners he had taken before his retreat could be interfered with. They little realized the flery temper or the military genius of their new commander, upon whom they pressed this advice. This was the first time his new force, demoralized by previous failures, had seen him in action. They were not yet infected with the fire which burned within him, and he had not yet had time or opportunity to catch hold of their imagination or their spirit. They had no enthusiasm for this stranger, nor any great confidence in his ability as a General. He was, however, determined they should believe in him before the day was out, as his own regiment had long done. His further operations that day showed e rare mixture of military skill and of what is known by our American cousins as ‘‘bluff,’’ and led tothe surrender of the camps attacked. The Gen- eral in command and 1,700 infan were made prisoners, a vast amount of stores were burned and four field guns, 600 horses, many wagons andalarge quantity of arms, ammunition, clothing and food were taken, It was a brilliant success and as it was his first great foray it at once established his as a and as @ . 5 ee ? hea . be ak C Dlige é ‘ 4 " > 3 ae i ae eee, i aie PAPA at if ‘i a tis a4 We make terms to suit all, and guarantee our goods to 113 North Sixth Street. received from his students additions to them of no little merit.

As Italy then gave to us our fair, wide home, through the scholarly thought and the indomitable will and devoted energy of one of her children, s0 she now, with loving senti- ment and earnest benison, gives to, us, through our great metropolis, a splendid memorial of the man who so strangely drew the two widely separated lands together. I. wish I could express even a tithe of the affectionate interest this sunny land of try and art and song and flowers feels for for the stalwart young Kepublic she looks wpon as herownchild! True,there may be slight temporary misunderstandings—dis- agreements, if you will—but in what family, even the best regulated, do not such disa- greements occur? The project ofthe splendid memorial the Italians are sending as a birthday offering was matured in the picturesque studio of the monument’s gifted designer—that masterly sculptor, Gaetano Russo—amid the -ruins of the Baths of Caracalla. It was in January, 1889, that the order for the de- signs wassenttothe Minister of Public In- struction, Bosselli, Dy the Italians of New York, through Sig. Barsotti, the editor and roprietor of the Progresso Italo- Americano. fn ecourdance with the desire of Sig. Bar- sotti, there was a competition of designs for the monument. As the architecture of the monument, as well as the commingling of its materials and its design, was to considered ,nine judges were appointed—three architects, threé painters and three sculp- tors—all famed in their lines. Of the first there were Calderini, architect of the superb new Palazzo di Justizio, now being erected on the other side of the Tiber; Sacconi and Bas- sill, Of the sculptors, there were Monte- verde, the :designer of the famous Dante and Bellini statues, Gallori, of Garibaldian statue fame, and. Ferrari, who created the wonderful Bruno statue of which all the world was rege | not long ago. The painters were Maccari. Pros- eri and Mariani, who decorated so beauti- lly the Queen’s favorite church, st. Sudario, and who made the famous frescoes that adorn the Senate house. The competition was large and spirited, some of the first Italian sculptors entering, for it was es- cially stipulated that artists of no other Pationality should be eligible. The award of the commission to Sig. Russo under these circumstances, by such a corps of judges and the Minister of Public Instruc- tion, was a very great honor, and when the fame ofthe successful competitor was an- WMH TLE ALLe weal tween ,'* A EOSE OPE TRE, t A at aditiai.y ee it el ss New Columbus Monument. nounced the most general satisiaction was expressed. .. |. ’ PREPARING THE MODEL, .

THE PORTRAIT PART OF THE QUESTION. It is very singular, but no portrait of Col- umbus whose authenticity can be thoroughly proved has yet been discovered; the sketch for this monument was made after long and careful research, and most critical compari- sons of those of the earliest paintings and engravings which have the greatest possibil- ity of a real likeness. Columbus was a man of deep religious sen- timent and he was a scholar; therefore his expression and his bearing were marked with intelligent exaltation; while his cos- tume was the simplest worn by his Class in his day. For the statue Columbus-is repre- sented at the moment his vague ideas have assumed sure and definite shape. He stands proudly erect, his earnest gaze seeming to even then discern the lands that awaited his coming,leagues upon leagues away.The ships rudder his right hand holds so firmly is em- blematic of the solution of the problem that has just cometo him so gloriously, and, in- deed, every feature, the entire pose and every detail of the statue are characteristic of the great mind that governed this fearless man. The anchors were the emblem of the mer- chant service, to whichthbe vesselsof his small fleet—the Pinta, the Nina and the Santa Maria—belonged. The figure below the statueis one of the noblest Ihave ever seen. It represents the genius that sprang full fledged from the dis. coverer’s brain at thetimeof his meeting with the Council of Salamanca—a genius strong and perfect inits symmetry; a mag- nificently proportioned youth upheld by the wings of faith, yet firm on the ground of its own understanding and holding in its grasp the whole globe, which it is studying with an intensity like that which absorbs an astrono- Ty ee COMETH ety cd taretnt fi | / (ifitienintey iv) TNA Th Ne ill iy i!

The eagle atthe reverse side of the monu- ment from the Gentus 18, as I said, the im- pee eagle, that kingof all eagles, whose ome isinthe highest peaks of the snow- covered Alps. He isin an attitude of de- fense and the treasures he is guarding are the arms of the United States of America and those of the Republic of Genoa. The shield of Genoa is the one adopted during its rule by the German Empire and retained for many centuries, The basso relievos, under the Genius and the Eagle, represent the two supreme mo- ments in Columbus’ life, and the _ ships, boats, banners and costumes of each are most accurate representations of those the great navigator made historic. In the first of these rellevos Columbus, who has prayed and watched and waited weary ages, as it seemed to himself and his companions, has started off in his little boat that he may step upon the iand, the announcement oO whose discovery has just sent such a thrill of joy and triumph, not unmixed with astonishment, to his attendants, through the hearts of every one on board the three small vessels that had so long and so gallantly breasted the storms of the Atlantic. Was ever acry sweeter or more welcome to mortal man than that of ‘‘Terra! terra!’’ In the second bas relief Columbus ts shown as he reverently returned thanks for the ful- filment of his sublime hope. Tall and erect he stands, his face upraised to heaven that has guided him. Far beyond there stretches the mighty ocean. On the sands of the beach there rests the admiral’s own small boat, drawn thither by two stalwart sailors; be- hind Columbus and at one side the emblems and spears of Spain are outlined against a cloudless sky. Pressing all about Columbus, ‘Kneeling at his feet; caressing his hands and the nem of his robe ;praying, entreating his forgiveness and telling of their veneration and loveo the leader who only a short time before they had well nigh cast into the sea, are the mem- bersof his company, while from a great mass of tropical follage peep the halt- frightened and awe-stricken faces of the Indians in so strangely lifelike a manner that we can almost hearthem whispering: ‘‘Is it a god?’’ Ah! well, whocan say, for is there not some divinity in fearless knowledge and heroic devotion? The spaces between the basso rellevos and at the sides of the Genius andthe Eagie will be filled with bronze tablets bearing English inscriptions composed by Ugo Fleres, the famous Italian poet. This monument is the only one of which there is record that has been accepted by and sent from one country to another without any previous and formal inspection; but ow- ing tothe high standing of both the judges and the artist it was thought in this case un- necessary. ABOUT THE SCULPTOR. Gaetano Russo,the designer of this splendid memorial, was born in Messina, Sicily, in 1848, but his love ofart brought him to Kome while yet inhisteens. During his term of study atthe Academico Reale dei Belli Arti (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) in Rome his talents and his rapid progress were so marked thatthey attracted great attention and high commendation. After graduating from the Academicothe young artist became a pupil of the great Italian sculptor, Monte- vere, With whom he remained three years, His history has been much like that of other young sculptors who have worked and won under the inspiration of high endeavor, and the splendid products of his work are now seen in the sala ofthe Palazzo Municipio of his native city, in its public squares, in i churches and in its Campo Santa. Indeed, Messina~in her gratitude for the beauty he has added to her—bestowed upon him alarge vension. Inthe most elegant private residences and several public nes of Rome and other Italian cities Prof, Russo's works arel found, and some ofthem have if gone across the sea.

Moniom, April 1—I wonder how many tourists’ that have come on to Munich for a visit have been Papa Schmild’s puppet show.

Papa Schmid’s company is very large, con- sisting of more than 1,000 figures, many of whose heads aré carved by well-Known sculptors and in originality of expression can rival with the make-up of any character actor. It was never too great a trouble for Papa Schmid to run about all day in the streets of Munich, in order to induce an artist to make a doll’s head of special beauty for him, or to search for a fine piece of cloth for the dress coat of one of his marionettes. The costumes aim at a brilliant pictorial effect rather than histori- cai accuracy. Every piece of clothing for actors an actresses which are not more than a span, is exquisitely fin- ished, hemmed and lined, as if for a grown-up ereon. Even the button- holes are not forgotten. Many of the tiny ladies’ robes are hand embroidered. All of them are kept and handled with the greatest care, hung up in little cloth bags labeled with their names. Their faces and hands are leaned and freshly painted whenever it is necessary, notonly like the ordinary dolls, but with great skill and the patience a sculptor might use who desiresto color his statues. The mechanism of the figures is highly ingenious. Kasperl, the leading part in all plays. of which we will speak more in detail urther on, who has to perform numerous parts of grotesque agility, is a marvelous piece of workmanship. It would detract from his glory if the other occupants of the stage were constructed with equal ingenulty. He can'not only nod and shake his head and raise his right arm so that it forms an angle with the Body or Is elevated abové the head, but he can also dance, fold his hands or cross them on his back and imitate a drunkard. Of Kasperl there are two to three dozen cop- jes in different costumes. His numerous companions are equipped for the station in life to which the wisdom ofthe director has predestined them and are always equal to the demands of the situation. The heroine-can raise both hands in sup- lication; her cruel father can spurn her rom his feet with emphatic gestures; a policeman in the costume of Frederick’s time pursues a tramp with outstretched arm, ready to seize his victim at the first oppor- tunity, who hastens away looking back now and again at his pursuer. The night watch- man can raise his lantern tothe face of any asser-by and knock the ground with his palberd. The ‘‘Huberbauer’’ can walk angrily Over the stage, threatening intruders on fis fields with the stick, and lifta tiny jug of beer to his lips, Knight “*Linsendimfi’’ can draw his sword and swing it ferociously. Barbele can put touches to her Nair and bodice and spread out her skirtsin the most coquettish manner, The inferior personages re more restricted in their movements, and thus are very properly prevented from diverting the attention of the audience from the chief business of the play. Eve figure is handlea by one of Papa schmia’s helpmates.

Papa’s Schmid’s assistants are se- lected mostly from all ¢ of society, which gives a peculiar charm to the reading.

However in- the villain tii , the heroine, in r, always W > ts ys wears is found behind the scenes at Papa Schmid’s, only thateverythingisin miniature from a well regulated System of traps to flying machines worked as faultlessly as if a famous stage machinist had constructed them. There are dragons who spit fire and all sorts of demons with glaring eyes. The light effects, sunsets, thunderstorms and snowfalls are most real- istic, like a littie rival of the Meinenger stage. How exquisite the scenery is painted by the best lan ong painters Munich can boast of will be seen for instance inthe house of the burgomaster in one of the *‘Kasperl’’ plays. It is a little odd-shaped house witha sianting roof of red tiles, overgrown with vines, anda veranda ornamented with fiower pots. It is perfection in every detall; there are the tin eaves, a holy virgin standing.in a niche in the wall, a bird cage hung on the. shutters and linen put out to dry from several windows, of which several can be opened; the burgomas- ter speaks from oneof them tothe passers-by. In spite of the spectacular effects, the pieces in which Kasperl Larifari appears are the favorites. He is a stout, beardless little fellow, with a red nose, red hairand cun- ningeyes; he is generally dressed in yellow trousers, area jacket, a white shirt witha large lace collar and a green pierrot hat. He is the representative of South German humor, an a good-natured goblin of epicurean views of life, always inclined to eat and drink and play all sorts of funny tricks, but alsoable to thdulge occasionally ina remarkably deep and surprisingly —. sophical conversation. He is generally the servant inthe play, yet likes to pass for his master, gets into all sorts of difficulties, whereby the r fellow has to suffer greatly of hunger and thirst, untilat last he is aided by some supernatural power. He even ap- pears as ‘‘Dr. Faustus,’’ the same puppet play which suggested the idea to Goethe of writing the greatest dramatic poem of mod- ern times, But in many plays Kasper! is the leading personage. He roams all overtheearth. In *‘Kasperl among the Savages,’’ forced to be a sailor he is shipwrecked on a foreign shore where he ehters the service of a scientist, but is hindered in the accomplishment of his duties by being taken prisoner by the sav- ages, who invite the scientists4o partake ofa dinner; where Kasper! 1s to be served as roast meat. Already the horrible song preceding the immolation had been struck up and the cannibals are dancing around the burning logs when Neptune makes his appearance and bears Kasperl away on a dolphin after eliciting from him the promise never to drink a mass of beer again, nothing stronger than water. How little the rogue was in earnest about the promise is seen in the following monologue inthe Bavarian dialect: ‘*After alll am only playinga trick on the Wassermayer. have sworn that I will never drink one mass, of course not one but as many as possible, for one mass never proved sufficient for me.’’ As ‘‘ Kasper! in Turkey,’’ he is a professor in botany, or, as he calls it, Blimiblami- sophic. The Sultan, Schurimuri, not know- ing the radish, which Kasperl assured him tasted very well with beer, ordered the latter to cultivate it in the imperial gardens. Kasperl, greatly embarrassed, as he cannot raise the radish at the appointed time and fearing the bastinado, concludes to eaen es with the negress Mimikatzi; but, as the Sultan surprises them, he Knocks his majesty down Witha stick. One of the plays, bearing the peculiar name **Schuriburi Burischuribimbampuff,’’ repre- sents Kasperl’s adventures inthe shaft ofa coal mine and how he meets Gret!l, his wife, for the firsttime. In later years she provesa very inconvenient burdentoO him, the more so as she shares his appetite (though she re- mains very thin), which is the source of many a quarrel in the household as is depicted in ‘*‘Mme. Kasperl,’’ Other plays are Kasperl as professor, as nee gets painter, as a heroic knight inthe ark middle ages, Kasperl among the Chinese, Americans, Indians, Patagonians, etc., etc. Also ‘‘Hamlet’’ is played, based on the En- glish tragedy. Hereall the psychology and poetry are struck out. At the conclusion the Queen, Hamlet and Ophelia escape unin- jured. Polonius, who has been wounded, even slain, limps in on crutches to bless the marriage of his daughter with the new King of Denmark, and ertes, having repented of his faults, seems to be in a fair way to re- covery when the curtai { falls. And who has writtenall these puppet plays, which resemble so much the early English drama in thé constant intermixture of humor and pathos? The majority of them have Count of Toecci forauthor. They are written inrhyme and have been published in six volumes, being of such literary vaiue that even their reading can be cored. as well as that they have won a standard place in Ger- man literature. Also the other authors are well known in Germany; these are Dr. Har- less, Baron von Gumppenberg, Franz von Kabbell, who did not think of laurels and tentiemes when they wrote the plays, but only of furthering the interests of the puppet show in every possible way. ‘hey also in* d ret-class composers to write dramatic Many of the youn puppet show, ast u ’ ave en or audience, Which amused, and ne Week tO ext per- one to the other. tormanée, , RD GOTTHIEL.

Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. Our vision, limited tothe sphere in whith we dwell, shows us above our heads a blue pavilion, enfiched in dark&ess by a multitude of brilliant points. We are ihelined to be- lieve that this is an arched vault, made of some airy substance, and inclosing the terrestrial surface like the cupola of a cage. Such ist sketch of the system ap- pearahces, Itis thus that we picture it to ourselves when, inthe first years of child- hood, we reason after the Impression of our senses. Thisisthe picture which the infant nations had adopted—for hunianityis like an individual person, who grows by degrees out of infant Weakness into the usé of analyZing judgment, This is the picture which a great number of men retain even yet, because they remain indifferent to the progress of science. Let us recoliect the ancient attempts of human thought, from the Aryans, who car- ried their seats from river to river on the plains of vast India; from the Egyptians, whose severe and silent sphinxes pensively regarded the distant horizén of the great deserts; from the Chaldean shepherds watching at night on the mountains; down to the cosmiogony of the Greeks, to the indis- tinct ideag of the Romans, and even to the outlandish fears of our own dark middle ages. Inthis immense restrospective pano- rama of humanity, we see prevailing ideas based upoh appearances. Astronomical systems differed, it is true, in their form, according to the method of rea- soning employed, according to the latitude of the country, according to the tempérament of the people, according to the disposition of the men, according to their religious beliefs, and according tothe governing or reigning dynasty. But we distinguish without diff- culty the frame-type of all these systems; it is the type which we have sketched. The earth isa plain surface Of undéfined outline, surrounded by its unknownh limits, by gulfs of darkness, by the chaos of cosmic meterial. The sky is a dome, above which religions have generally placed the abode of recom: pense after death, as they have placed the abode of punishment below the depths of the earth—in inferis, Itisthus that after his chapter entitied, ‘*Which is the Right Side of the World, and Which is the Left?’’ Platarch, the great and complex historian of antiquity, asks, ‘‘What is the substance of the sxy?’’ Anaximenes re- plies to him that the outermost circumfer, ence of the sky is ofa terrestrial substance, and that the stars are attached to it like nails. Parmenides says that the world is formed of several layers of material applied upon one another, and that the substance which incloses them is as solid asa wall, This solid wall of the sky was taught by all the anclents (I would have been quite enough to touch voyages, but as nad this happiness). have not —s Universe and Earth in the System af Cosmos, Sixteenth Century. Empedocies believed that the sky Is solid, that it Is formedof air vitrified by fire and resembling crystal, and that it contains in each of its hemispheres an aerial and igneous substance. This theory is less rude. Aristo- tle says that it is composed of the fifth layer; the chief thing would be to find out of what this fifth layer consists. But his colleagues make answer that it is composed of a ming- ing of cold and hot. Diogenes pierced the sky with breathing holes, and said that the stars were these breathing holes, which had been rubbed, it appears, with pummice stone, Xenophanes gave still less Importance to the hosts of Heaven, since he believed that the stars are made of flaming clouds, which go out every day and which are relit at night like coals. The earth was considered to be fixed and immovable at the bottom of the universe, longer from east to west than from north to south by a full third; whence have arisen the expressions longitude and latitude.+ Each nation, moreover, had naturally the small vanity of believing itself to be the center of the inhabited universe. They naturally felt assured that this earth was solid, that there was no danger of its breaking In, and that they could walk in — on its platform. As to its limits, some said that oceans of marshes mark it out; other spoke of dark- ness mingled with movement and repose. Others, bolder men, of the monks of the early centuries of our era, deciared that willie making a journey in search of the terrestrial paradise, they had found the point where the sky and the earth met, and had been obliged to stoop their shoulders. And yet certain questions had embarrassed inguirers. The dazzling source of the light of day, the moonandthe stars, rise ata point opposite to their setting. It must be, then. that those bodies pass under the earth. But t was believed that the latter extended in- definitely below the surface. Such a passage then was difficult to imagine, and the more s0 that the stars neither rise or set two days in succession atthesame point. Some con- tinue to believe, according to the tradition of Homer, that Apollo and his coursers plunged atnight into the ocean and in the nocturnal cooiness of the waters repaired the exhaustion ofthe day, after which they re- turned tothe Orient by routes unknown to mortals. An Egyptian traveler, Cosmas, drew, in the sixteenth century, a curious sketch of the world, in whichthe earth was square, surrounded by four walls, ODES by the celestialdome. Last of all came aron Hindoo Idea of the Earth. Foeneste, who declares that if we do not see the sun when he comes back, ‘‘itis because he comes back in the night.’’ As welook atit more closely we see the ravity of the subject degenerating into rivolity. But it is time to pass from agoey ances to reality, from th volous to t serious, from error to truth. t us hasten to remark that the delusions propagated by the theorists whom We have ag no be ascribed to th rsohaliy, bu the time in which they lived, ahd whe fruitful methods of experimental science were as yet unknown, To form a just idea of the sky, we must first form a conc one of the casvensee) eons and picture to ourselves oy FF as Sus. pended in space without an of support absolutely as would a p bubble in air.

Whatever be the part of the globe on which you are walking, you will always call down the surface which you have under your feet, and up, the space above your head. You may place yourself in succession on every point of the globe without exception; alli these points will in turn be down for you, and the corresponding point asapeee above your head will likewise be always up.

Andsoon. Ifthe globe were covered with observers, each one looking in an up- ward direction above his own head, it would ensue that the entire surrounding space must = ‘teeta forthe entire population of the globe. This ig in reality our situation on the globe. At whatever point we live we have forthe sky the space situated above our heads, The earth, moreover, revolves upon itsown axis once in twenty-four hours. At the hour when you are reading these lines, you will consider as upward the space which you look at as you raise your head. Six hours later, inthe same manner, you will give the same name tothe space which will thén be situated above your head, and which at this present moment forms a right angle with your vertical. Intwelve hours you will call upward the space which at the present mo- ment extends below yourfeet.

There is then neither top nor bottom in the universe; consequently, neither right nor left, nor any absolute position, The earth is a sphere isolated in space, and this space ex- tends to infinity in all directions all about it. Try to fathom the exact meaning of this word! Let wus suppose that, wishing to measure this infinity, youleave the earth as a point of departure and travel toward any given point of the sky, then whatever be the point in space toward which you are moving, ina straight line and without ever interrupt- ing your course—even should you make your way through this space with the rapidity of light (seventy-seven leagues a rn agen f or more rapidly still, if you dare to think of it— you could, listen! you could fly for years to- petper with this prodigious quickness, durin enturies and centuries, and you woul fever, never, reach a limit to this im- mensity !

It is the azuré atmosphere with which the earth ts surrounded; the clouds are rocked inits bosom at a moderate height; the concave form which we notice in this apparent dome ig only the result of perspective. We live, little microscopic beings, more given to reasoning than reasonable, at the bottom of the aerial ocean, and the biue of the sky is nothing More than tais atmosphere itself whose particles in all directions reflect the blue rays of the spectrum of light. On rising toward the upward part of the atmos- here, On mountain tops or in balloons, we ose this celestial tint, and recognize that space is colorless. Asojourn of a few mo- ments on the surface of the moon would con- vince us still more clearly that the color of the celestial sky is an attribute exclusively of this atmosphere. The frozen orvDof night is itself without air, and during its intermin- able days (fifteen times longer than ours), instead of our beautiful pavilion, it possesses only a black and mournful immensity, peopled by a brilliant star, the sun; by a moon with variable phases, the earth; and by a multitude of stars. The earth, as you know, is part of a system of worlds of which the sun is the center. Picture to yourself acannon ball falling in space. At different distances about this l, four grains of lead—Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Mars; ata ater distance, four balls—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, These grains and these balls revolve about the bullet.

He was appointed to the police force Sept. 1, 1877, and after two years’ patrol duty in the Central Police District, was transferred to headquarters for clerical duty. About the year 1881 he was transferred to the Central Police District, and assigned’ to the main station for office duty, which position he held until November, 1888, when, on account of failing health, he was transferred to the Fifth Police District and placed in charge of the Forest Park Station. He wasone of the committee who drafted the Constitution of the st. Louis Police Relief Associdtion, and has left his impress on it. Besides being the Incorporating Secretary of the Association he was the first Secretary and continued as such for several terms, when he declined to present himself for re-election to the Ex ecutive Committee. Secretary Donegan has iven much study and attention to the Re- fief Association,’ and -is thoroughly conver- sant in regard to its scope and requirements, The first revision of the constitution was the result of his labors, and much of the success and prosperity ofthe organization is due to his efforts.

A Patriotic Girl Attracting Much Atten- tion in France. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH, NEW YorK, April 14.—French newspapers have been enthusiastic in their praise of Miss Maud Gonne, the young and beautiful Irish patriot, who has devoted her property to the people’s cause and has voluntarily taken up the mission of making known abroad the sufferings of the oppressed Irish people.

DANGEROUS FLOODS Heartrending Scenes in the Sub- merged District in Mississippi. RAFTS LOADED WITH DEAD TOWED INTO. EVERY HIGHLAND TOWN. A Pitiful Appeal for Help Which Reached the Rescuers Too Late—A Hamlet of 800 People Swept Entirely Away— 1,200 People Have Lost Their Homes —&cenes of Sorrow. Bpecial Correspondence of SuNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. COLUMBUS, Miss., April 1..—If one will take any good, new map of Mississippi and look at the northwestern part of the State, it will be geen that one big stream traverses it from north to south, and that inhumerable little rivers and creeks feed thelarge one. Three counties occupy that corner of the State, Lowndes, Ulorwal and Clay, and they are all three thickly settled by planters, white and black. Cotton is the staple, but a good deal of corn is raised. Co- lumbus !s the largest town of the three coun- ties, but West Point is the busiest, as itis the headquarters of most of the northern cotton buyers, and does a heavy tradein cotton seed oll also. Tupelo is another im.- portant town smaller than West Point, and Aberdeen, off on a branch of the Mobile & Ohio, is probably the richest agricultural town of the whole State. Corinth and Macon, onthe northern and southern ends of this section, are dull and of little consequence commercially to the State. Ali of that part of the country is cut up by ravines and hills, sometimes so high as to be mountain- ous. The farms are fertile, and those in the great valley of the Tombigbee, forty miles long from Aberdeen to Columbus and twenty miles wide, are especially so. Four railways cross the counties, the Mobile & Ohio, the Illinois Central, the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham, and the Georgia Pacific. The many streams make them run along trestles and embankments a great part of the time. It is in these three counties that the Tombig- bee and its watery: allies have been playing such havoc in the past two weeks, drowning hundreds of people and their stock, sweeping away houses, destroying railroad bridges and tracks and ruining the newly planted crops. The latest reports re- ceived here indicate that over 200 neople have been lost. The three counties will barely make two-thirds of the crop that had been expected. It will cost the people of the State over $2,000,000 to repair {the damage to their farms, and the injury to the railroads, in actual destruction of property and loss of traffic is incalculable. ' TRACKS WASHED AWAY. The Tombigbee is navigable to stern-wheel Doats only up to Aberdeen. Beyond that it is deep enough to carry only fiat-bottomed boats a few miles tothe hills where it rises. Every spring the network of little rivers and creeks that wind around In these counties are swollen by.the rains and overfiow their banks, but the Tombigbee Is generally able to carry er the water in time to prevent even the lowlands from being flooded. This it was different. The rain began April 2,. and. the water fell in torrents for five days and nights. All the streams burst their banks about the third day. There were fifteen of these little tributaries altogether, and most of them empty into the Tombigbee. That old river was having as muchas it could do to take care of itself, and was frothing in the effort to keep in its banks when the other streams poured into it. The old river at once overfiowed, and as soon as it did the whole country around was sub- merged. It was done in a_e single night, and the planters, who had feared the overfiow, but haG not expected it, were taken The Tombigbee Valley became agreat river that rushed down to Mobile Bay, carrying on its raging bosom dead eople and animals, houses, furniture and rees. West Point was surrounded by water, and the people had. to leave the town by boats. All the railroads stopped their trains. Half their track was washed away. In places wherethere had been embankments there were flowing streams. Every point high ground had become a haven year was being builtup. It was calle@ About 800 people livea there.

The house of the Prentiss family has been swept away, and nothing has been heard from oneofthem. ‘The preacher, Rev. James Willis, was to have gone to Nashville last week, but itis probable that, hearjng of the floods, he did not leave Montgomery. Frank Allen came in to-day from above. He had his skiff aud had towed a raft by the light ofa lantern thirty-three miles last He was going to marry Katherine’ search expeditions is that the negroes refuse to go out with boats unless they are paid for it, although they themselves may have just been saved by white men. They say that as no y_ now is living in places of danger, it would be reckless risk of their lives to trust themselves tothe riveragain. Another thing that has been remarked is the absence of privacy. Bodies have been brought here, to ést Point and Aberdeen by boatmen nobody knew, and in the ckets money has been found, sometimes large sums, while the Tings and other jewelry on the women and the watches of the men have been untouched. These valuables are all put in envelopes and kept forclaimants. There Was an exception to this at a landing just above here to-day. Among the crowd on the bank, watching the boats as they came in Hie “> bodies , wasa Atam, Sey = who had been in Columbus during the floods, His name is Milt Lawrence, and he has a country store near the Tombigbee, or rather he had it. Heand his sister and mother lived in rooms above thestore. He had been trying to get a boat to go out and search for them, but had found none. A boat came in with a skiff be- hind, and in tbat were the bodies of the two women of whom he was insearch. He helped tolift the bodies to shore and then turned on the boatmen. ‘ a did you do with their rings?’’ he 5s . ’ ‘*‘Dey hadn’ nuthin’ on ’em,”’’ said the boatman, sullenly. **Didn’t? What are you doing with that ring. and this?’’ The young man had thrown his arm around the other’s neck, had pinioned him foran instant, and in that second had felt his pockets and discovered two rings and a breast pin. The men around gave him ald, and talked lynching. Lawrence got the rings that had been taken from his mother’s and sister’s hands and then turned the boatman over to a Depnty Sheriff who was there. He was brought here to-day and put in jail. AID REFUSED. There was a puriesque company playing at Aberdeen, when the floods came. The town isa one night stand,‘ but the trains were not running the day after the performance, and the company played again, but this this time the house did not pay expenses. Then for four sb more the company stayed ata hotel, and the manager saw the bottom of his pocket book. He was enterprising and wrote to the pastor of one church after an- other and offered to play the company for their benefit, taking one half the receipts. Aberdeen is a rigidly moral town, and all the preachers refused tne offer except one. He said he would make arrangements with the manager if he would clothe all the women in long skirts. He consented and wrote back to inform the giris. The two were to meet again in an hour, and agree upon de- tails. Whenthey met both looked disap- pointed, **I can’t stick to that agreement,’’ said the preacher, ‘‘because I find that my congrega- —_—_~ zs fe fy, ’ TA (Me ‘ onht vif yf _ 8S Sagano a Sih gM ot, lll A Yi | wn UM IVY MOQ ys Lg A RESCUING BOAT AT WORK. night, picking up bodies on the way, On the raft he had twenty-six dead people, all but three negroes. None of the three were recog- nized. Allensays that there are no more people left on the little hills in the midst of the subsiding waters, but he says that boat- men are coming into every landing with dead bodies. The corpses are buried as soon as they are put ashore,so nothing will ever be Known of the fate of dozens of people. Bodies are still hanging by their clothing to the trees and bushes along theriver. Two ofthe bodies of the three white men brought b Allen had bullet holes in their foreheads, an one of them had some cartridges in his pocket. Itseems likely that the two men had been on a hillock, unable to swim, and seeing the water rising around them had shot them: selves, one after the other. Allen also brought with him acuriosity. It-wasa straw hat with a note tied to it in a white handKer- chief. The note read, ‘‘Keep on up the river. Twenty ofuson high ground—four bables— FORTY NEGROES CAUGHT ON AN ISLAND. for scores of people who had fled from their homes as the waters approached. Aberdeen was threatened by the flood, which came very near, but little harm was done, and its people went out with boats and rafts to rescue the castaways huddled together on the hills. The West Point men did the same thing. In Columbus, which was almost in the center of the inundated district, a bi building was turned into an asylum, an over 600 people, men, women and chil- dren, are now being cared for here, They have come from every and are in every imaginable condition of destitution. For these people the tents were asked that were sent from St. Louis. The support of these spoople is an enormous expense, nearly $1, a day, al- though the people of the town have given them everythina they could afford. Some of them fied from their farms in only their — clothes, and had to be clad as soon as they got here. More than 400 of the 600 refugees are negroes, apd there are nearly 300 children among them, WIFE AND BABY DEAD. To-day the Tombigbee is full of boats, most of them light-bottomed skiffs, Two men go in a boat, and it holds four people. Some of the skiffs tow others. Many of them had rafts attached. John E. Ellis started out yes- terday in a skiff with his brother, Jim. They towed £ raft and came back to-day loaded. Five d@ad bodies lay on theraft, and a young man and a woman who had been picked up from a mound nearly submerged ‘were in the skiff. The two did not know each other, but each had a dead relative in the bodies on the raft. A crowd gaw the skiff land. The Ellis boys landed and made their boat fast. The man and the woman stepped out, and both were recognized by Judge Henry Watts, standing on the bank. **Where’s your husband, Mrs. '‘Childers?’’ be asked the woman. **There,’’ she sai, pointing to the raft. **Where’s your wife, Neville?’’ he said to the man. **Her body is there,’’ said the man, whose tears seemed to have been dried by suffering. ‘*We were on that rise two nights without anything to eatand afraid to go to sleep.

Wells lives on the Buttah got safe to high ground when the Water be- gan chasing him, but after he had been there a few hours he began chafing at the jnaction, knowing that near himthere lived a negro farmer with his wife andchild. Down the river & mile he knew there was a boat tfed to atree. He stripped to shirt and drawers and swam it, getting a blow onthe he from a floating tree that nearly killed him. He got the boat, rowed up the ver and saved the three negroes, bo had climbed up on the roof of their house and were praying. On the wayto high gronnd Wells saw on ittle mound in the waters a small negro. diverged and rowed there. The pegro |} about 10 years old, and he hada white about 5 in charge. Both were taken into the boat. ‘Whose boy is that?’’ asked Wells of the little darkey. **Huh?’’ **Whose boy is that?’’ . The little negro was frightened out of his wits and he had all he could do to keep from crying. ‘‘Massa Sam’s,’’ he said. ‘*Massa Sam’s.’’ Anda that is all that anybody has been able to get from either of the boysyet. They are both in Columbus. **ONLY MASSA’S SAM.’’ Many lives were lost in the Sakatouchee bottoms. The bottoms were filled with houses, and the Sakatouchee and Tiber rivers overflowed them simultaneously, car- syine away the houses without warning to the inmates. These houses were all of wood, and built with flat roofs. floating down the Tombigbee with a horse on the roof and several heads protrading from the windows. The people andthe horse were saved bya raft. A boatman sawa house floating down, with a sheet flying from a sash. He rowed to it and und an old woman inside, nursing her husband, bed- ridden by rheumatism. in many houses near the bottoms, quite on the edge of the . the people saved their stock by putting them into the houses.

The manager boughta big flat- boat with a house on it, hired three negroes to guide it and set out for Columbus. This was last Monday morning,andthe boat has not yet reaehed here, but report came from it thro¥@h the boatmen and it is slowly mak- ing its way down the river. A VALUABLE KFG. Maj. Ran Reading of Tubelo, who {fs related to W. C. Marshall of St. Louis, relates a funny incident inthe midst of the tragical scenes Of the week. Maj. Reading has hada little fleet of boats out on the waters for several days, manned by his people. They have saved a dozen lives and rescued many valuable animals from hills where they had taken refuge. Tuesday, as Maj. Reading with two men was floating along, keepinga Sharp lookout for sigrals of distress, they = gee a keg, bobbing up and down on he water, and paid no attentionto it. Two miles farther down they saw a white man and a negro in a skiff, pulling aimlessly about and paying more attention to driftwood than anyt ng else. Maj. Reading recognized the man as Charles Calhoun, a neighboring plan- ter. Calhoun hailed him whenthe boats got within earshot of each other. **Did you see a keg anywhere up yonder?’’ asked Calhoun, anxiously. “*Y@s, there’s one floating downa mile up above,’’ said Maj.

Special Corre spondence SUNDAY POSsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 15.—The private secretaries of high Washington officials are expected to keep beggarsand cranks away from their chiefs, and it will be surprising to many to know that beggars come right up to the offices of Cabinet Ministers and try to get 'atthem while they are at work. These men wear all sorts of clothes, and it is hard to distinguish the crank or the mendicant from a business man. One called at the Treasury Department the other day and said he wanted to see Secretary Foster, whom he knew very well. Mr. Wynne received him in the ante-room. The man wore clothes of a clerical cut and hehad a white cross on the lapel of his coat., Hesaid he was a minister that he had kn Mr. Foster in Ohio an that he merel wwanted to pay his respects to He protested that he dia not want any OMice ot say, money, Oa. the Secretan. hands wit s 0 etary.

Forces’ of the Venezuelan Insurgent Leader Being Augmented. SOLDIERS OF THE ADMINISTRATION DE- SERTING THE GOVERNMENT. ——— — The Insurgents Expected to Gain a Vie- tory—Civil War Now Considered a Cer- tainty—Palacio’s Attempt to Prolong His Control of the Government Beyond the Legal Term. CARACAS, Venezuela, Via Galveston, Tex., April 16.—Gen. Crespo, the leader of the in- insurgents, is not in hiding and has not taken flight, as wasat first thought. The rumors of a clash between the Government and the insurgents have been Verified to a certain extent, but Crespois notin retreat. He has taken upa very strong position at Valencia with 1,500 men behind «the intrenchments. Crespo is gaining strength every day, despite the efforts of Palacio and his censors to sup- press the news. Every day the writers of letters are impris- oned and fined, newspaper publications sup- pressed and telegrams destroyed, but, nevertheless, the insurrection grows and the malcontents are flocking to the Crespo’ standard, more because it is opposed to Palacio than because of enthusiasm for his cause, Caracas has been deserted by the adminis- tration forces, which have been sent against Crespo at Valencia. Ifthey meet the prob- abilities are that by actual losses and by de- sertions Palacio will be terribly weakened and Caracas made the objective point of the Crespo forces. It is daily expected that the word of Pala- Cio’s defeat by the insurgents over toward Valencia will bring to a climax the plan of the citizens of Caracas to take the city and resist the return of President Palacio. Fighting there will be beyond a doubt, and it is impossible now for it tobeof anything but a serious nature. THE ORIGIN OF THE WAR. The civil war, which is nowa certainty in Venezuela, grew outof the petty ambitions of a single man, and hasits parallels inthe histories of every nation on earth, In this case the beginning was small and bore about it scarcely an objectionable feat- ure. It was only Jater, when the methods applied to gainthe end became unbearable, that the trouble really began. It is necessary to go back to the beginning of the present Republic to better understand the situation, In 1870, on the 22d of July, Guzman Blanco was inaugurated President, after the violent expulsion of Jose Tadeo Monagas, who had in turn, by force of arms, been placed at the head of the so-called Republic, Blanco was President, and ina very short timea popular one,and Venezuela was as ignorant and crude as could be imagined. She was then practically without educational institutions, without railroads, without tele- graph lines, without roads almost, save those adapted for the usée.of mule ms, Now she has a system of public instraction which in the working at least of its compulsory feature might make an excellent model for Americans. Her great com- mercial cities of Caracas and Valencia are connected by rail with the seacoast, and other roads are finished or being pushed in all directions with the energy engendered by a government guarantee or 7 per cent on capitalthus invested. There are, moreover, nearly a thousand miles of telegraph lines and 161 post-offices, which within the last few years have handled as many as 4,000,000 items of mall per year. PAUL’S ADMINISTRATION. Following upon the administration of Blanco came the peacemaker and diplomat, Dr. Rajos Paul. He secured the Se from Blanco without violence or bloodshed, Blanco being strongly averse to letting go,as his term had been profitable beyond his expectations and he thought he had secured full control o the goverament. Dr. Paul, at the end of his term, which ac- cording to the constitution was two years, assisted in electing to the presidency his Minister of the Interior, Raimundo Andueza Palacio. This was two years ago in Feb- ruary. The election fora new President was to take place on Feb. 10 of this year, but it has not yet been held. Palacio wanted to extend his term as Pres!i- dent to an indefinite time and set to work to accomplish his purpose alongin September of last year. There was no particular reason why Dr. Raimundo Andueza Palacio should not be President six years instead of two, except that the law provided that no man migat hold office for two terms in succession, He was acapable, conservative mananda reasonably good President. Under his ad- ministration there were no public extrava- gance and no political blunders. The coun- try’s debts were paid, so far as might be, with promptness, so that before Andueza’s term was half served the Republic of Vene- zuela stood first and foremost in the estima- tion of the European money markets of all the South American countries. Had it not been for the menace of the British lion’s paw on her eastern boundary, there would have been nothing to mar her complete and tranguil contentment. Into this peace and prosperity there came the ominous shadow ofambition. It was not the vague yearning of an unsatisfied poli- ticlan or the assumption of a feudal baron from the llanos of the. Orinoco, nor yet the flerce insistence of a striving grandee from the foothills of the lofty Cordilleras. It was more sinister than either, for it was the am- bition of a president. Dr. Andueza Palacio would break down the law and extend his term of office to six years, Fallingin that, he would name as his suc- cessor a man of his own choosing, a man who would do his bidding, as Guzman Blanco’s political allies had obeyed him without hesi- tation or question. Probably, this man thought he, too. had the ability, the will, and the statecraft of the deposed dictator. So the scheme grew from week to week and month to month in the minds of Andueza and his friends, having its first culminating point in the expulsion from the country of ex- Presivent J. P, Rojas Paul. TROUBLE BEGUN TO BREW. As Palacio’s work progressed the opposi- tion grew, Palacio saw that to pressa con- stitutional amendment to extend his term was not such an easy task, so he set about suppressing the opposition or at least si- lencingit. By the middle of January, 1892, all of the offending editors were in what an appreciative American in. Caracas called the ‘*bat cave,’’ and their papers were stopped. When this was done no further murmurs of dissatisfaction reached the outside world, and people were justified in believing that the trouble had subsided. Many events occurred in December and January, but not one of them was spoken of outside of Venezuela. Even the cessation of work on the new railroad, the disbanding of the veterans ofthe army, the Povey | of a new army, the demand of the English Break- water Uo. for the DO of Ene matured obli- gations, the complaint of English capitalists to their home Government that they were be- ing badly treated and the announcement of a dozen candidates the Presidency were unheard of outside of Venezuelan territory. The hand of the censor was heavy, ENGLAND TAKES A HAND, While these and many Other events were chasing one another across the troubled sur- face of Venezuelan politics the yellow paw of Engiand’s lion appeared like a nenace on the novia the builders of a new rail- ] fi ce roan te oe platsrcomplained to the a y ir work had been a Omice eet cordet.while work on the German railroad in the same part of the country had owed to go On. ce, the managers of the Guayra complained British that the interest Government. redress at the hands of the bom os” ey ee R 5 _ . £ v4 ty % "8 ye a Fake ae qs . <2 Pee Page : a ee) giskon bey ee) oe ee ee ae * ue “7 to Caracas, complained that the Suaranteed interest on their investment had not been paid, and oer too, demanded satisfaction. g Behind all this is the British thirst for Vene- zuelan gold. The shadow of the Hon lies athwart the gold lands of the Yuruart. It is a shameful story—from the corrupt be- ginning tothe pregent sinister phase, which may be alsothe ending. Years ago Dictator Guzman Blanco sold toa company of English- men the privilege of mining gold on Vene- zuelan territory on the Gulana boundary. For this priceless concession received $6,000, - 000, which, it Is charged, herpnt into his pri- vate treasury. THE FIRST FIGHT. The first fight took place in December, when the Government tried to suppress a small band of Independents who were sup- rting Paul for the Presidgncy. Shortly after this ex-President Blanco with his ac- cumulated millions took a d with an eye to regaining Its 014 power over the Republic. Then another elementis added to the al- ready tumultuous trouble. Gen, Crespo, the head of the army, aman of popularity with the common people, as s to Presi- dency and with all of rhe argy he- away, starts another civil war. ‘If wias, the old tyrannical system of former days will be resumed. Soeach revolution has grown, all aimed toward dislodging the ad- ministration. The dislodgment is und to come and upon the heels of it a wrangle among the victors for the ehair. Back of the history of this last Govern- ment, the history of Venezuela extends away into the fifteenth century, and its eastern coast bears the proud distinction of having been the first land sighted by Christopher Columbus. It is astory of bloody uprisings. with brief intervals of peace, marked by all = characteristics of South American revolu- t Ons. IN THE ARGENTINE, THE REPUDIATION §ENTIMENT TAKING DEEP ROOT AMONG THE PEOPLE: BUENOS AYRES, April 1i.—In no republic of the sisterhood of Squth American countries do political changes come so quickly as in this. The next division will undoubtedly be on the proposed disposition of the public debt, and the partieg will be for and against repudiation. Since the election of President Panez this question has been wide- ly discussed. The fear that England Dr. Luts Saenz Pena. will back up the claims of her bondholders with menand guns does not deter the party in favor of quickly wiping out the debt, and the idea is becoming quite popular that the aid of the United 8tates could be counted upon in case of invasion by a European power. Whether or not outright repudiation will be insisted upon there is no doubt that those who favor scaling down the debt owed to British bondholders wili soon prove to be the dominant party in Argentine. Dr. Luis Laenz Pena, the President- elect of the Argentine Republic, is well-fitted for the position he has just been elected to. What thatcountry most needs at present is an executive with whatis called a long head and a level head; a man also witha strong will, honest convictions and integrity of character and at the same time a man that commands the respect both of the masses of the people and of the financial and commer- cial classes of the country. Dr. Pena has,or is credited with having, all these qualities and advantages. He hasalong and irreproach- able private and public record behind him. At the bar and on the bench he has wona reputation that extends to every portion of Spanish America and places him inthe first rank of South American jurists. Helis called Dr. Pena, although he has never studied medicine or theology and has never been a dentist or a veterinary surgeon. In Argentine, as in Continental Europe, every graduate of a university is called doctor, and there are more doctors of law than doctors of medicine. Dr. Pena was the almost unanimous choice of the National party for President. and also of the Union Civica and a large portion of the Radical party that overthrew the administra- tion of President Celman and made Vice- President Pellegrini support him at the polls, THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, At the opening of the presidential cam- i caniieinaneneddiecinantenmainneesamiaamimaiemeaateemacnentiad { of dollars every year to Europe in the shape paign which has just closed the Radicals nominated Gen. Mitre as their candidate for the presidency and afterward the National party also nominated him for the same of- fice. Gen. Mitre having accepted the sup- port tendered by the National party, the Radicals revolted, half of them joining the Nationalists and the other half nom- inating Dr. Trigoyen for their candidate, Gen. Mitre would doubtless have been successful if the National party had given him the hearty support that some of the lead- ers vouchsafed to him, But his candidature was coldly received in the provinces, and this fact very likely prompted him to retire from the fight, advising the National party to choose a more suitable candidate. Several were mentioned to replace him, prominent among them being Gen.. Roco, who declared that he would not acceptthe nomination, Gen. Roco had been President of the coun- try once, and didn’t wish to undertake the responsibility again. Gen. Micre is also an ex-President, but was unwilling to accept the position again unless be could be assured of the hearty support ofnot only Buenos Ayres, butofall parts of the country, He fully recognized the importance of the work which the next administration wil! be con- fronted with in the settlement of the great financial problem before the country—the problem being to save the country from bank- ruptcy and at the same time save Its credit in the financial world. From the ranks of the national party sprang the candidature of Dr. Roque Saenz Pena, son of Dr. Luls Saenz Pena, and bis cause soon made considerable headway throughout the country, owing, no doubt, to the excellent record and personal qualities of the candidate. It wasthen that the prin- cipal leaders of the Union Civica and national party united their efforts to bring about a new coalition with a view to solve the Presidential problem in a manner satisfac- tory toall. Asaresult of their labors dele- gates were chosen to a joint convention of both parties that nominated Dr. Luis Saenz Pena. His son had meanwhile gracefully withdrawn, The nomination of the father was equiva- lent to an election and there is scarcely any doubt that Dr. Luis Pena will be inaugurated President of Argentine on the 12th of next October. SETTLEMENT OF THE DEBT. The most important work of his administra- tion will be the settlement of the country’s immense foreign debt, which has been steada- ily growing now for several years. The Argentine Government bonds are held forthe most part, in fact almost entirely, in Europe, as arealso the municipal bonds of Buenos Ayres. Some of the papers of the capital talk of repudiation and suggest this or that excuse for it, but the repudiators form, as yet, but a smallL party, the most influential papers and public speakers and writers advocating an honest payment of all obligations. One of the argu- ments made use of by the repudiators is that Argentine should dlo its trading with the United states instead of Europe and that this change can never be brought about so long as the country has to send millions and millions of interest on its bonds. Inthe event that a large portion of this bonded indebtedness is repudiated, the country can at once turn to the United States for protection in the assur- ance thatthe Monroe doctrine Is still held sacred by Americans. Germany or England might talk of declaring war on Argentine, but neither country -would do it and the talk would only tend to more completely sever the commercial relations between Ar- gentihe and Europe, and to bind this country more closely to the United States. Thisis the rosy way inwhich the repudiators color the result of repudiation, but, as before stated, they are in a bopeless minority at present. In fact, most of the admirers of the United States are on the other side, afid they dre ofthe opinion that In afew years the United States will have the bulk of this coun- try’s foreign trade, irrespective of our financial condition. FRIENDLY TO THE UNITED STATES. The people of Argentine are very friendly toward the United States. The constitution and laws of the country are patterned after those of this country, and the public school system was taken from that of the State.ot Michigan. In the Normal schools are about a hundred young ladies from Vassar, Wellesiey, Mount Holyoke and other American colleges, The first Argentine railroad was built by an American in 1866, andit was this American, Wm. Wheelwright, who also established the first steamship line between Argentine anda foreign company. In 1839, he paida visit to New York to interest Garrison, Astor, Van- derbilt and other capitalists in his steam- ship project, but getting no encourage- ment from them, he went to England and secured the necessary capital, and it was this seemingly unimportant fact. that turned the whole South American Commerce from the United States to Europe, for Wheel- wright’s company became a power in all. South America, and stillhas a monopoly of the trade on the western coast from Panama tothe Straits of Magellan, as also the East- ern coast. Both Chill and the Argentine Republic have erected monuments to Wm. Wheelwright, the father of their commerce and their internal improvements, for he built the first railway in Chill, as he did the firstone in the Argentile Republic.

Then the city took a spurt and in seven or eight years had doubled its population mavens 550,- 000 inhabitants in 1889. The authorities were foolish enough or careless enough {to act as though this were an assured, perma- nent increase, and they entered upon public works and the spending of public money ac- cordingly. The — of real estate rose to fabulous sums. ts sold for higher prices in Buenos Ayres than they ever brought in New York. And estimates were based on these abnormal prices. The municipal goy- ernment bought land in figures for new treets ba 8 and er s. Ss were on the supposition that such values would be permanent. More than that, they akeaty reckoned that the city would keep on indefi- nitely growing at that pace, doubling its pulsation every six or seven years. So huge ebts were contracted. In 1884 there was a loan of $4,600,000, on which the yearly inter- $332,700. Two years later there of $10,000,000, with $700,000 yearly In’ 188 a third oan of $10,000,000, was contracted, with year- ly interest of $550,000, and a fourth of $10,000, - 000 in 1890, with $600,000 interest. And at the same time a floating debt of about $18,000,000 has been incurred. Besides all this there we reer after year a deficit, so that about $2,000,000 more is due for unpaid salaries and other accounts. THE CRASH AND ITS RESULTS. A crash had to come. When it came the vast scheme of public improvement was not half executed, and the works to-day lie inan unfinished state, sothatthe public gets no benefit from the millions that have been spent. There are splendid avenues only partly opened. The Government has no money to buy the rest of the land needed, and the owners will not sell without ready cash, Other streets are half paved with expensive wood pavements. Butthereis no money to finish the work, and so the streets are im- passable, andthe pavement already laid ig gOing to ruin. THE CLAIMS AGAINST CHILI. FURTHER DIPLOMATIC ENTANGLEMENTS POSSI- BLE—THE MODE OF PROCEDURE. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.—The with- drawal of Senor Montt, Chilian minister here, and Mr. Egan’s leave of absence from his post In Chill suggest that although the dan- ger of war with Chili has passed, there may be further diplomatic complications before matters arising out of the Valparaiso riots are finally. settled. ..The question of indemiriity for tie injuries.inflicted upon the American sea men is stfll open, and has yet to be decided. The manner in which such indemnities are usually collected is as fol- lows: The claimants present their claims to the State Department of this coun. try. These claims are investigated, and such as are deemed well founded are presented to the State Departmentof ths foreign country involved. Ali negotiations are carried on through the foreign offices of the countries interested, the persons claim- ing indemnity not pleading thelr own case before the court or representatives of the country from which the,damages are claimed. Ifdemands excessive in amount are made, the State Department will refuse to presentthem. Should the Chilian Govern- ment consider the ciaims in any way ill-founded or excessive, a ro- test will be addressed to Secretary Blaine, stating the causes of dissatisfaction, Ifnoagreement can be reached a board of arbitration will probably be appointed, as . lawyers deem it doubtful whether the Su- Court can take cognizance matter, although, the Chil- ian authorities have expressed their willingnesstoabide by the decision of this tribunal. As yet no claim has been pre- sented, asthe State Department is consider. ing the demands made by the sailors and their families. When the indemnity is paid it will be turned over to the United States Government, and will be distributed by United States officials, the Chilian Govern- one connected with the Pactfic steam Navl- gation Co. has madea big fortune and the ment having nothing to do with this, and dealing only with the Government.

It seems rather sad that his relatives should allow him to come out alone.’’ My friend rose lazily from his armchair and stood with his hands in the pocketsof his dressing gown looking over my shoulder. It was a bright, crisp February morning, and the snow ofthe day before still lay deep on the ground, shimmering brightly tn the wintry sun. Down the center of Baker street it had been ploughed into a brown, crumbly bank by the trafic, butateither side and on the heaped up edges of the footpaths it still lay as white as when it fell. The gray pavement had been cleaned and scraped, but was still danger- ously slippery, so that there were rewer foot passengers than usual. Indeed, from the direction of the Metropolitan Station no one was coming save the simple gentleman whose eccentric conduct had drawn my attention. He was a man about 50, tall, portly, and ~ Imposing, with a massive, strongly marked fa¢e and a commanding figure. He was dressed in asomber yet rich style in black frock coat, shining hat, neat brown gaiters, and well cut peari-gray trousers. Yet his actions were in absurd contrast tothe digni- ty of his dress and features, for he was run- ning hard, with occasional little springs,such “Ss @ Weary Man gives who is little accus- tomed to set any tax upon hislegs.

I think that I recognize the symptons. Ha!” did I not tell you?’’ As he spoke the man, puffing and biowing, rushed at our door and pulled at our bell until the whole house resounded with the clanging. A tew moments later he was in our room, still puffing, still gesticulating, but with so fixed a look of grief and despair in his eyes that Our smiles were turned in aninstant to horror and pity. For awhile he could not get his words out, but swayed his body and plucked at his hair like one who has been driven to the extreme Humits of his reason. Then suddenly springing to his feet, he beat his head against the wall with such force that we both rushed upon him and tore him away tothecenter of the room. Sherlock Holmes pushed him down into the easy chair, and sit- ting beside him patted his. hand and chatted with himin the easy soothing tone which he knew so well how to employ. ‘*You have come to tell mé your story, have you not?’’ saidhe. ‘‘You are fatigued with your haste. Pray wait until you have recov- ered yourself, and then I shall be most happy She Placed Her Hand Over His Head. to look into any. little problem which you may Submit to me.’’ The man sat fora minuteor more with a heaving chest, fighting against his emotion. Then he passed his handkerchief over his brow, set hislips tight and turned his face toward us. **No doubt you think me mad,’’ safd he, **‘I see that you have had some great trou- ble,’’ responded Holmes. **God knowsI have!

When I was alone once more, however, with the precious case lying pce the table in front of me, I could not think but with some misgivings of the immense re- sponsibility which it entailed upon me, There could be no doubt that, as it was a national possession, a horri- ble scandal would ensue if any wmisfor- tue should occur toit. I already regretted having ever consented to take charge of it. However, it was too late to alter the matter now, sol locked it up in my priyate safe and turned once more to my work. ‘*When evening came I felt that it would be an imprudence to leave so precious a thing in the office behind me. Bankers’ safes had been forced before now, and why should not mine be? If so, how terrible would be the position in which ] should find myself! I de- termined, therefore, that for the next few days I should always carry the case backward and forward with me, so that it might never be really out of my reach. With this inten- tion lcalledacaband drove out to my house at Streatham, carrying the jewel withme. I did not breathe freely until I had taken it up stairs and locked it in the bureau of my dressing-room., ‘*And now a word as to my household, Mr. Holmes, forI wish youto thoroughly under- stand the situation. My groom and my page sleep out of the house, and may be set aside altogether. I have three maid servants who have been with me a number of years, and whose absolute reliability is quite above sus- picion. Another, Lucy Rarr, the second waiting maid, has only been in my service a few months. She came with an excellent character, however, and has always given me satisfaction. She is a very pretty girl, and has attracted admirers who have occa- sionally hung about the place. That is the only drawback which we have found to her, but we believe her to be a thoroughly good girlin every way. ‘*So much forthe servants. My family iIt- selfis sosmall that it will not take me long to describe it. Lama widower and have an only son, Arthur. He has beena disappoint- mentto me, Mr. Holmes, a grievous disap- pointment. [have nodoubtthatI am my- selfto blame. People tell me that I have spolled him. Very likelyI have. When my dear wife diea I felt that he was allI had to love. Icould not bearto seethe smile fade even for a moment from his face. I have never denied hima wish. Perhaps it would have been better for both of us hadI been sterner, but I meant it for the best. ‘‘lt was naturally my intention that he should succeed me in my business, but he was not of a businessturn. He was wild, way- ward, and, to speak thetruth, Il could not trust him in the handling of large sums of money. When he was younghe became a member of an arlstocratic club, and there, having charming manners, he became the intimate of a number of men with long purses and expensive habits. He learned to play heavily at cards and to squander money on the turf, until he had again and again to come to me and implore me to give him an advance upon his allowance, that he might settle his debts cfhonor. He tried more than once to break away from the dangerous com- pany which he was Keeping, but each time the influence of his friend, Sir George Burn- feld, was enough to draw him back again. ‘**And indeed 1 could not wonder that sucha man as Sir George Burnfield should gain an influence over him, for he has frequently brought him to my house, and I have found that I could myself hardly resist the fascination of his manner. He was older than Arthur, a man of the world to his finger tips, one who had been everywhere, seen every- thing, a brilllanttalkeranda man of great personal beauty. Yet when I think of him in cold blood, far from the glamotir of his presence,I am convinced trom his cynical speech and the look which I have caught in his eye that he was one who should be dis- trusted. Sol think, and so, to, thinks my little Mary, who has a woman’s quick insight into character, **And now there is only she to be described. She is my niece, and when my brother died five years ago and left her alone in the world I adopted her, and have looked upon her ever sinceas my daughter. She is a sunbeam in my house,sweet,loving, beautiful, a wonder- ful manager and housekeeper, yet as tender and quiet and gentle as a woman could be. She is my righthand. Ido not know whatI could do without her. In only one matter has she gone against my wishes. Twicemy bey has asked herto marry him, for he loves her devotedly, but each time she has re- fused him. I think that ifanyone could have drawn him into the right path it would have been she, and that his marriage might have changed his whole lie; but now, alas! it is too late—forever tco late. ‘*Now, Mr. Holmes, you know the people who live under my roof, andl shall continue with my miserable story. ‘*When we were taking coffee in the draw- ing-room that night after dinner, I told Arthur and Mary my experience and of the precious treasure which we had under our roof, suppressing only the name of my client. Lucy Parr, who had brought in the coffee, had, lam sure, left the room, but I cannot swear that the door was closed. Mary and Arthur were much interested, and wished to see the famous coronet, but Il thought it bet- ter not to disturb it. ‘**Where have you put it?’ asked Arthur. ***In my own bureau.’ ** *Well, I hope to goodness that the house won’t be burgled during the night,’ said he. ** *It is Jocked up,’ I answered. ‘*-Gh, any old key will fit that bureau. When Iwasa youngster I have opened it ei withthe key of the box-room cup oard,’ ‘‘He often hada wild way of talking, so that I thought little of what he said. He fol- lowed me tomy room, however, that night with a very grave face. ‘* ‘Look here, dad,’ said he, with his eyes cast down, ‘can youlet me have £200?’ ** ‘No, Iean not,’ 1 answered sharply. ‘I have been far too generous with you in money matters.’ ‘* *You have been very kind,’ said he, ‘but I must have this money or else 1 can never show my faceinside the club again,’ ***Anda very good thing, too,’ I cried. ** “Yes, but you would not have me leave ita dishonored man,’’ said he. ‘*I could not bear the disgrace. I must raise the money in some way, und if you will not let me have it then I must try other means.’ ‘*‘T was very angry, for this was the third demand during the month. ‘You shall not have a farthing from me,’ I cried, on which he a and left the room without another word, ‘*When he was gone I unlocked my bureau, made sure that my treasure was safe, and locked itagain. ThenI started t6 go round the house to see that all was secure,a duty which I usually leave to Mary, but which I thought it well to perform myself that night. As | came down the stairs I saw Mary herself at the side window of the hall, which she closed and fastened as I approached. ***Tell me, dad,’ said she, looking, I thought, a little disturbed; ‘did you give Lucy, the maid, leave to go out to-night? ** ‘Oertainly not.’ ** *She came in just now by the back door, Ihave no doubt that she has only been to the side gate to see some one, but I think that it is hardly safe and should be stopped.’ ** *You must speak to her in the morning, or I will if you prefer it.

I am not a very woe hd | sleeper, and the anxiety in no doubt to make me even less so than usual. About 2inthe morning, then, I was awakened by some soundin the house. It had ceased ere | was*wide awake, but it had leftan impression behindit as though a window ha gent closed some- where, I lay listentng with all my ears. Sud- denly, to my horror, there was a distinct sound of footsteps moving softly inthe next room. I slipped outof bed, all palpitating with fear, and peeped round the corner of my dressing-room door. ***arthur!’ Iscreamed, ‘You villain! You thief! How dare you touch that coronet?’ ‘*Phe gas was half up, asI had left it, and my unhappy boy, dressed only in his shirt and trousers, was standing beside the light, holding the coronet tn his hands. He ap- peared to be wrenching at it or bending it, with all higsstrength. At my cry he cropped it from his grasp and turned as pale asdeath. I snatched it up and examined it. One of the gold corners, with three of the beryls in it, was missing. ***You Dlackguard!’ Ishouted, beside my- self with rage. ‘You have destroyed it! You have dishonored me forever! Where are the jewels you have stolen?’ ‘* *Stolen!’ he cried. ** *Yes, you thief!’ I roared, shaking him by the shoul er, ‘**There are none missing. be any missing,’ said he, ‘* ‘There are three missing.

[shall notsay another word about this bOusiness, since you havechosen to insult me. I will leave your house inthe morning, and make my own way in the world.’ . ** *You shall leave it in the handsof the police,’ I cried, half mad with grief and rage. ‘Ishall have this matter probed to the bot- — — **T am endea There cannot ‘* *You will learn nothing from me,’said he, with a passion such as I should not. have thought wasinhisnature. ‘If you choose to call the police, let the police find what they can, ‘*By this time the whole house was astir, for I had raised my voice inanger. Mary was the first to rush into my room, and atthe sight of the coronet and of Arthur’s face she read the whole story. and, with a scream, fell down senseless to the ground. I sent the housekeeper for the police and put the inves- tigation into their hands at once. When the Inspector and a constable entered the house, Arthur, who had stood sullenly with his arms folded, asked me whether it was my intention to charge him with theft. Ianswered that it had ceased to be a private matter, but had become a public one since the ruined coronet was national property. I was determined that the law should have its way inevery- thing. ‘* “At least,’ said he, ‘you will not have me arrested at once. It would be to your advan- tage as well as mine ifI might leave the house for five minutes,’’ ‘* «That you may get away or perhaps that ou may conceal what you have stolen. ’cried , and then realizing the dreadful position in which I was placed,I implored him toremem- ber that not only my honor, but that of one who was far greater than I was at stake, and that he threatened to raise a scandal which would convulse the nation. He might avert itallifhe would but tell me what he had done with the missing stones. ** “You may as well face the matter,’ said I, ‘You have been caught in the act, and nocon- fession could make your guilt more heinous. If you will but make such reparation as is in your power by telling us where the beryls are all shall be forgiven and forgotten.’’ ‘**Keep your forgiveness for those who ask for it,’ he answered, turning away from me with a sneer. I saw that he was too hardened for any words of mine to influence him. There was but one way forit. I calledin the inspector and gave him into custody. A search was made at once not only of his per- son but of his room, and of every portion of the house where he could possibly have con- cealed the gems, but no trace of them could be found, nor world the wretched boy open hismouth for all our persuasions and our threats. This morning he was removedtoa cell, and I, after going through ali the police formalities, have hurried round to you tp implore youtouse your skill in unravelling the matter. The police have openly con- fessed that they can at present make rothing of it. You may gotoany expense which you think necessary. I have already offered a re- ward of £1,000. My God! what shalilido? I have lost my honor, my gems, and my son in one night. Oh what shail 1 do?’’ He put a hand on either side of his head and rocked himself to and fro, droning to himself like a child whose grief has got be- yond words, Sherlock Holmes sat silent for some few minutes with his brows Knitted and his eyes fixed upon the fire. ‘*‘Do you receive much company?’’ he asked?’’ ‘*None, save my partner with his family, and an occasional friend of Arthur’s. Sir George Burnwell has been several times lately. Noone else, I think.’’ **Do you go out much in soclety?’’ ‘*Arthur does. Mary and I stay at home, We neither of us care for it.’’ ‘‘That is unusual in a young girl,’’ **She Isofa quiet nature. Besides, she Is not so very young. She is four-and-twenty.’’ ‘*This matter, from what you say, seems to have been a shock to her also.’’ ‘*Verrible. She iseven more affected than ‘*You have neither of youany doubt as to your son’s guilt?’’ **How can we have when I saw him with my own eyes with the coronet in his hands?’’ ‘*Thardliy think that a conclusive proof.

Youare doing what you can for him and for me. Butit is too heav atask. Whatwas he doing thereatall? If his purpose were innocent why did he not say sO >> ‘*Precisely. Andif it were guilty, why did he not inventa He. His silence appears to me to cut both ways. There are several singular points about thecase. What didthe police eet the nolse which awoke you from your sleep?’’ *‘*They considered that it might be caused by Arthur’s closing his bedroom door.’’ **A likely story! as if a man bent on felony would siam his doar so as to wake a house- hold. Whatdid they say then of the disap- pearance of these gems?’’ ‘*They are stillsounding the planking and probing the furniture inthe hope of finding them.’’ **Have they thought of looking outside the house?’’ ‘*Yes, they have shown extraordinary en- ergy. The whole gardenhas already been minutely examined,.’’ ‘‘Now, my dear sir,’’ said Holmes, ‘‘is it not obvious to you now that this matter really strikes very much deeper than either you orthe police were at first inclined to think? It appeared to you tobe a simple case, to meit geems exceedingly complex. Consider whatis involved by your theory. You suppose that your son came down from his bed, went at great risk to your dress- ing room, opened your bureau, took out your coronet, broke off by main force a small portion of it, went off to sonie other place, concealed three gems out of the thirty-nine with such skill that nobody can find them, and then returned with the other thirty-stx into the room in which-he ex- posed himself to the greatest danger of being discovered. Iask you now issuch a theory tenable?’’ ‘‘But what other is there?’’ cried the banker, witha gesture of despair. ‘‘If his motives were innocent why does he not ex- piain them?’’ ‘‘It isour taskto find that out,’’ replied Holmes. ‘‘So now, if you piease, Mr. Holder, we willset off for Streatham together, and devote an hourto glancing a little more closely mto details.’’ (Zo be continued, ) Women Olerks in Washington.

ROMANCE OF A REJECTED MANUSCRIPT —EDITOR AND AUTHORESS. Written for the SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH. There wis a ‘‘dull thud’’ on the porch, and Fanny, who was sweeping at the other end and had not noticed the approach of the postman, rapidly gathered upthe letters. There were two or three of the ordinary size andathick oneina brownish-yellow envel- ope. When her eyes rested on this they grew suspiciously moist, and she walked slowly into the house without glancing at the othersinher hand. She knew too well whena ‘‘thick one’’ came it was & Manu- script returned. She was a school-teacher, broken in health from overwork, who had, at the stern com- mand of her doctor, laid down the figurative birch and taken up the broom to give her overtaxed nervous system time to recuperate, And in an evil moment she had taken to writ- ing stories of more or less merit. As one or twohad been accepted and paid for, she thought this would be anagreeable way to earn the little spending money she needed in her present quiet life; forafter having once earned her own money she found it hard to ask her father for it, however willing he might be to give it when he had it, which was not often. But she found hernew venture very uncertain and discouraging. As she stood in front of the grate and tore open the fatalenvelope she took from it the manuscript, hopelessly ruined by much fold- ing, and the accompanying printed slip of fallacious and elaborate thanks, signedina small, cramped hand: ‘‘John W. Banks, Eat.’*’ But the thanks seemingly gave her little consolation; for on the last page of se story was a large red ‘‘Not available’? stamped. She pulled off her sweeping gloves, tore up the printed slip, threw the fragments in the fire, sniffed a little, and murmured as ae contemplated the ruin of her manu- Script: ‘*Hateful thing! Whenlasked him not to fold it another way, too. It is so much trouble to copy itwhenI’mill. But now it’s hopelessly spoiled, But maybe I can iron it out smooth again and copy the last page,’’ and she eyed it ruefully and continued: **I would just like to have the opportunity to pay him back! My best story, too! I would just like to Know what does guide them in their selection, or rejection, rather, for they don’t seem to select muchof mine, It’s per- versity, I’m sure!’’ and with this she turned to her sweeping, which was very thorough aa morning, judging from the way the dust ew. The story in question wasa seemingly im- possible chain of circumstances which had actually taken place ina country neighbor- hood. The facts had been furnished her by a lawyer friend, and Fanny had utilized them under thea fetching title of ‘*The Fatal Flaw: or, Caspar’s Vindication.’’ It evidently had neith oa _ ane shy, difidemt, mor particularly The next morning she was awakened by the continuous clang of the breakfa bell.” Her old lady was deadly sea-sick and was unabie was compelled to’ sain orth to. breaktas ed to sa re) ° alone. to her dismay the table was ta J on as she turned to go to the afterpart of the Cabin, she met her new friend, Mr. Bangs, bound on the same futile errand.

But a girl such fine, large, gray eyes, mobile mouth accented by charming dimples in’ either cheek and such an abundance of light brown hair, could never be absolutely plain, ‘«Besides,’’ he mentally decided, ‘‘she Is one of the Kind who would be stylisn if her clothes fitted her better.’’ She on her part thought: ‘‘He looks ever so much older than he did last night in that uncertain light, He’s very short, and when he gets old will have the figure of the conven- tional Santa Claus.

I never did admire little men much,’’ by the time these psychical monologues— broken at intervals by commonplace remarks —were finished, the second table was ready. At breaktast they showed their first unani- mity of taste in their orderand even carried it so far as to be unable to eat the food when it appeared, so badit was. The evening be: fore their talk had been a saries of polite dis- agreements which, had they been a married pair, might have degenerated into ungentle bickerings. In the matter of food, at least, man usually dominates and woman submits. At the conclusion of the meal Fanny said: ‘*] must go look after my poor old lady, She is very sea-sick and is only comfortable when lying down.’’ He thought, ‘‘Not a very efficient chap- eron,’’ andsaidto her while lookingat his watch, ‘itis now 7:30.

But she saved the money, and when August came had the satis- faction of carrying out a long-cherished plan—a trip up the lakes. She accordingly set.off, and there was but one drawback to her pleasurable anticipa- tlons—she had to go alone, At Chicago, her cousin, Charlie, who was marine editor on the Ara, met her atthe train and took her aboard the boat. It was rather a lonely prospect—a ninedays’ tripall alone; but as it was to benefit her shattered nerves, she would undergo it. Charlle had disappeared to-arrange for her comfort and settle the business details—part of which wasto fee porters, steward, maid and waiters, which she in her ignorance of traveling did not think of—andto seeif he could get her a stateroom to herself. This last he could not do, for the boat was rather full; but he got hera berthinthe same room with a nice old lady, a triend of the captain, wholived in those northern regions, and she |haa promised to befriend her at a request frora the captain; for Charlie, by virtue of his osition, Knew every soul on board that be- onged to the vessel, She was standing at the head of the stair- way rather forlornly when Charlle came up, and with him a small, and at first sight, youthful-looking man, whom Oharlie intro- duced as ‘‘Mr. Hangs.’’ ‘*He’s a newspaper man, too, Fanny, city editor of the Daily Telegraph, and is going up fora trip, too,so you’re sure Of pleasant company.’’ Mr. Bangs bowed and smiledin acknowl- edgement of the introduction and complt- ment, whe Fanny said she ‘‘was Very glad to meet any of Charlle’s friends, and doubly sofor the prospectof having someone on board with even sucha slight claim to an ac- quaintance,’’ Just thena loud voice from below warned all persons not passengers ashore, and Charlie kissed his cousin and shook hands with his friend, saying to the latter: **Look after hera little, will you, old fel. low? She’s been ill, and I’m afraid it will be rather a lonely trip for her.’’ ‘*Allright! I’litry to play Good Samari- tan,’’ sald Mr. Bangs, ‘**though it’s a little out of my line.’’ Thinking rather ruefully that it would be a boreto havea country girl on his hands, and he half hoped she would be sea-sick. It isa fortunate thing that our thoughts are absolutely inviolable, or Fanny would nothave given him thetrusting smile she did when he said to her: ‘*We may as well go outon deck. She is going out of the river now.’’ This they did, andas they past one of the numerous bridges Charlie, who wag plainly revealed by the glaring electric light raised his hat and shouted: **Bon voyage!’’ shay passed slowly on and were soon on the ake, Fanny had formed the impression almost instantaneously—as women usually do-that her companion was a silent, modest, difident sort of a little man, and she resolved to be as lively and pleasant, and ‘‘stir him up’’ as much as possible. So by way of experiment she remarked, as the captain, Who was six feet three, passed: ‘*I believe that large men are Kinder- ‘hearted than small ones.’’ Tothis he nat- urally made no reply and there was long pause. Then she continued, seemin ua- conscious of her rudenesa: **But I bDelleve small ones are more intellectual.*’ At this he laughed “iran **You are w , kina to finish it that way.

It was but a lit- tleafter8and no one wasintheshop. The roprietor, without showing any surprise if e felt any, gave her the morning paper while Mr. Bangs composedly seated himsel in the chair. As the barber was preparing his implements of trade she leaned over the back of the chair and whispered to him: ‘‘I think a man looks hideous when he is being Shaved, sol shall sit whereI can't see you,’’ and moved away before he could an- swer. He twisted ’round uncomfortably to look after her, but before he could make rony there was a slash of lather and he was reduced to silence.

Not so with her poor old lady; hers was the kind that kept her lying down all the time, so that virtually Fanny was without a chaperon. And she and Mr. Bangs fell into a tacit comradeship. They dined to- gether, sat on the deck together and in the long talks they had he told her his entire his- tory, even to his-present salary. Told her of his religion, or rather lack of it, his tastes and hinted at his hopes. She, womanlike, never quite as confiding as a man under like circumstances, did not tell him halfas much as he er, but gave him the im- réssiony she nad. In reconsidering the mat- ‘afterward he found he new but ings absolutely about her—where she at her pame was;and that she was Charlie’s cousin, Andthatlast fact was not altogether pleasing, strangely enough, when he recalled the tenderness with which he had kissed her good-by and recommended her so earnestly to his care. He concluded finally that he never had thought much of Charlie, a second-rate sort of a fellow, but women were such fools where men were concerned! The tripyhad been perfect and the weather lovely, except one dayin hadrained. ‘The last evening on board had come and Mr. Bangs had said at supper: ‘*'Come out early to-night. This is our last evening.’’ Fanny looked at him tranguilly and said: ‘*Well, if I can,’’ ignoring the regret ex- pressed by his voice. ‘*You know there fs nothing to preyent if you want to come,’’ he sald quickly’ ta a hurt one, ; / } ‘*But the Captain promised I shquld bave a peep through his glass, and I n had such an opportunity before.’’ Now this same Captain, though a middle aged, married man, and only kind as an ac- quaintance of Charlie’s, had made him im- patient on several occasions when he had wished to monopdélize Fanny himself, He said no more, but turned and walked for- ward. She looked after him and smiled a little, disappeared into her stateroom, but soon emerged with her shawl, and her scarf on her head, evidently prepared for an even- ing on deck. he took the direction Mr. Bangs had, and when on deck found him invisible, but she knew it was not worth while to hunt him up, as he wascertain to appear. A man’s inter- est in a woman ts half habit, and when away from his regular occupation he is more de- pendent on her than she on him for enter- tainment. During the voyage he had become used to her society and relied on it to save him from the very thing he had anticipated it would bring him, boredom! So she seated herself near two old ladies whose acquaintance she had made and was soon talking pleasantly with them, 8o00n a voice at her ear sald softly : ‘‘There are two nice seats just around here ; will you come?’’ She arose, and with a word of excuse to the old ladies followed him. She found hima little sulky and he didn’t seem inclined to talk much. This she ignored, while calmly pointing out the planets to him. He said: ‘‘I suppose they are a fine sight through the Captain’s glass.’’ tr aa not see them through it,’’ she re- ed. His manner changed and he took the es f slender hand she had pointed with and sight- ed a distant star with her slim forefinger. Then he held it solong with seeming uncon- sciousness that she said, laughingly, bu without a touch of embarrassment: ‘‘Don’t you think you’ve held my hand long enough? Aren’t you tired of it?’’ ‘*No,’’? he said, simply, then added: ‘It’s just the kindofa hand I admire. It’s just the kind of a hand I’d like to have for mine.’’ ‘*It’s nearly as large as your own,’’ she ob- served as composedly as a child comparing slices of bread and butter, ‘‘But a great deal narrower,’’ he replied, laying their two hands together palm to palm, His coolness was too much for her ware? and she gave an embarrassed little lau and drew it quickly from his. Oflate she had noticed a tendency on his part to hold her hand at every trifling opportunity. And as it Was seemingly accidental she took no notice of it. But this was disconcerting and she hastened to explain that Venus was the evening star, but had set—to givea different turn to his thoughts, ‘*It’s the star of love, isn’t it?’’ he asked in a speculative tone. **No, it isn’t!’’ said haga sharply, ignor- ing alltradition. ‘‘Why should it be more than any other? That’s what young idiots say,’’ and with this withering reply she arose and prepare: to retreat, **No, no! Don’t go ft he pleaded. I see I’ve displeased you. I'll talk about anything you Jike.’’ And he gently reseated her. ‘*But. Mr. Bangs,it’s getting late. And——’’ But he cut short her protest by asking: ‘*‘Why, when you address me by name, do you call me ‘Mr. Bangs’? My name isn’t Bangs any more than yours is likely to be,’’ and he gave her a look that exasperated her, for tt suggested the subject he had tacitly agreed to quilt. ‘‘Why, isn’t it? That’s what Charile called you.’’ ‘*I beg your pardon. It’s Banks—John W, Banks. Hope you like it better than Bangs!’’ She evidently did not; for she froze immedl- ately and asked ina frosty tone; ‘*Were you ever connected with the Citizens’ Newspaper Co,?’’ She half arogseas she made the in- ulry. Hesaid: ‘*Yes; but what of that? It was long before I got my present place.’’ She st up, trembling slightly, with cold he thought, butin reality it was a re- tvivalofthe long since forgotton feeling of animosity for‘‘John W. Banks’’ acting on her sensitive nerves. He said coaxingly: ‘‘Do sit down again ang I’ll tell you some funny experiences I had there.’’ She meditated a moment, then resuming her natural, cheerful air, said, as she again took the stool at his side: ‘‘Do! I’ve always thought a literary life must be interesting.’’ **Much you know about ft! 1 was desk editor then and ft’sa dog’s life! Had to read slush and rot from day's end to day’s end.

After the gloom of gray Atlantic weather our ship came to America in a flood of winter sunshine that made unaccustomed eyelids blink, and the Ne w Yorker who is nothing if not modest said: ‘'This isn’t a sample of our really fine days: wait until such and such times come, or gO to such and such a quarter of the city.’’ We were content and more than content to drift aimlessly up and down the brilliant streets, wondering a little why the finest light should be wasted on the worst pavements in the world;to walk round and round Madison square, becaus¢ that was full of beautifully dressed babies playing count- ing-out games, or to gaze reverently at the broad shouldered, pug-nosed Irish New York policemen. Wherever we went there was the sun, lavish and unstinted, working nine hours a day—with the color and the clean-cut lines of perspective that he makes. That any one should dare tocalh this climate muggy, yea, even ‘*sub-tropical,’’ was a shock, There came such a man, and he said: ‘‘Go north if you want weather—weather that is weather. Goto New England.’’ So New York passed away upon a sunny afternoon, with her roar and rattle, her com- plex smells, her triply overheated rooms and much too energetic’ inhabitants, while the — went north to the lands where the snow ay. As the light closed ina little wooden town, white, cloaked, and dumb, slid past the win- dows andthe strong light of the car lamps fell upon a sleigh (the driver fugred and muf- fied to his nose) turning the corner ofa street. Now, the sleigh of a picture book, however well one knows it, is altogether different from the thing in real life, a means of conveyance ata journey’s end, but itis well not to be overcurious in thé matter, for the same American who has been telling you at length how he once follioweda kilted Scots soldier from Chelsea to the Tower. out of pure won- der and curiosity at his bare knees and spor- ran, will laugh at yourinterest in ‘‘just a cutter.’’ The staff of the train—surely the great American nation would be lost if deprived of the ennobling society of brakeman, con- ductor, Pullman car conductor, negro porter and newsboy, told pleasant tales, as they epread themselves at ease inthe smoking compartment, of snowing up on the line to Rudyard Kipling. Montreal, of desperate attacks—four engines together and a snow-plough in front—on Grifts rey feet high, and pleasure of walk- ing alongthetops of goods wagons to break atrain with the thermometer thirty below freezing, ‘‘It comes cheaper to kill men that way than to put air brakes on freight cars,’’ said the brakeman. Thirty below freezing! It was inconceiv- able till one stepped out into it at midnight, and the first shock of that clear still air took away the breath as a plunge into sea water does. A walrus sitting on a woolpack was our host in his sleigh, and he wrapped us in hairy goatskin coats, caps that came down over the ears, buffalo robes and blankets, and hay more buffalo robes, till we, too, looked ike walruses and moved almost as grace- fully. The night was as keen as the edge ofa newly ground sword, breath froze on the coat lappels in snow, the nose became without sensation, and the eyes wept bitterly because the horses were in a hurry to get home, and whirling through the air at zero brings tears, But forthe jingle of the sleigh bells the ride might have taken placein a dream, for there was no sound of boofs upon the snow, the runners sighed a littie now and again as they glided over an inequality, andailthe sheeted hills round about were dumb as death, Only the Connecticut River kept up its heart and ai lane of black water through the packed ice. We could see the stream worrying round the heels of its small bergs. klse- where there was nothing but snow under the moon—snow drifted to the level of the stone fences or curling over their tops ina tip of frosted silver; snow banked high on either side of the road or lying heavy on the pines and the hemlocks in the woods, where the air seemed, by comparfson, as warmas a con- servatory. It was beautiful beyond expres- sion. Nature's boldest sketch in biack and white, done with a Japanese disregard of erspective, and daringly altered from time o time by the restless pencils of the moon, In the morning the other side of the picture was revealed inthe colors of the sunlight. There was never a cloud in the sky that rested on the snow line of the horizonasa sapphire on white velvet. Hillis of pure white or speckled and furred with woods rose up above the solid white levels of the fields, and the sun rioted over their em- brolderies till the eyes ached. Here and there on the exposed slopes the day’s warmth—the thermometer was nearly 40 deg.—and the night’s cold had madea bald and shinin erust upon the snow; but the mos pest was soft, powdered stuff, ready o catch the light on a thousand crystals and Multiply itseven fold. Through this mag- nificence, and thinking nothing of it, a wood sledge drawn by two shaggy red steers, the unbarked logs diamond-dusted with snow, shouldered down the road in a cloud of frosty breath. It is the mark of inexperience in this section ofthe country to confound a sleigh which you use for riding with the sledge that is deyoted to heavy work, and it is, I believe, a stiil greater sign of worthless - ness to think that oxen are driven, as they are in most places, by scientific twist- ing ofthetail, The driver, with red mittens on his hands, felt overstockings that come up to his knees, and perhaps a tS fee A coon- skin coat on his back, walks beside crying, **Gee! Haw!’’ even asis written inthe Amert.- can stories. The speech of,the driver ex- plains many things in regard to the dialect story, which at its best is an infliction to Many. Now that I have heard the long, un- hurried draw! of Vermont, my wender is, not that the New England tales should be printed in what, for the sake of argument, we will call Engiish and its type, but rather that they should not have appeared in Swedish or Rus- sian. Ouralphabet istoolimited. This part of the country belongs to laws unknown to the United States, but which obtain all the - world over to the New England story and the ‘ ladies who write it. ou feel this in the air as soon as you'see the white-painted wooden houses left out on the snow, the austere school-house and the people, the men of the farms, the women who work as bard as they with, it may be, less enjoyment’ of life, the other houses, well-painted and quaintly oofed, that belong to Judge This, wyer That and Banker Such-an- ne, all powers in the giddy my 4h Olis of six thousand folk over there by the railway station.

A: the men of the farms is of their chase, mortgage and sale, recor undary lines and road tax. It middle of New Zealand, on the ge of the wild horse plains, that I heard this talk last when a man and his wife, twenty miles from the nearest neighbor, sat up bait night discussing just the same things that the men talked of in Main street, Vermont, U, S. A., in almost the same words. There is one man in the State now who {sg much exercised over this place. He is a farm hand, raised inahamiet fifteen or twenty miles from the nearest railway and, greatly daring, he has wandered here. The bustle and the turmoil of Main street, th raw lare of the electric lHghbts, an the ve-storied brick business blocks frighten and distress him much, He has taken service on a farm, well away from these delirious delights, and, says he, ‘I’ve en offered $% a month to work ina bakery at New York. But you don’t get me to no New York. I’ve seen this place an’ itjust scares me.’’ His strength is in the wewine of hay and the feeding of cattle. Winter lifeona farm does not mean the comparative idleness that is somuch written of, Each hour seems to have its sixty minutes of work; for the cattle are housed and eat eternally; the colts must be turned out for their arink, and the ice broken for them if necessary ; then ice must be stored for summer use, and then the real work of hauling logs for firewood begins. New Englana depends for its fuelon the woods, The trees are ‘‘Dlazed’’ inthe autumn, just before the fall of the leaf, felled later, cut into four-foot lengths, and as soon as the friendly snow makes sledging possible, drawn down to the woodhouse, Afterward the needs of the farm can be attended to, and a farm, like an arch, is never at rest. A little later will come maple Sugar time, when the stately maples are tappea as the ~ begins te stir, and be- ringed with absurd little buckets (a cow be- ing milked intoa thimble gives some idea of the disproportion), which are emptied into cauldrons. Afterward (this is in the time of the ‘‘sugaring-off par- ties’’) ou pour the boiled rup into tins full of fresh snow, where it hardens, and you pretend to help, and eat and become very sticky and make love, boys and girls to- gether. Even the introduction of patent sugar evaporators has not spoiled the love making. There is a certain scarcity of mento make love with. Not so much in towns which have their own manufactories and lie within a lov- er’s pe pe journey of New York, but in the farms and villages. Themen have gone away—tbhe young men are fighting for fortune further west, andthe women remain—remain for ever, as women must.On the farms, when the children depart, the old manand the ola woman strive to hold things together with- out help, and the woman’s portion is work and monotony. Sometimes she goes mad to anextent which appreciably affects statis- tics and is put down in census reports. More often, let us hope, she only dies. Inthe vil- lages, where the neeessity for heavy work is not so urgent, the women find consolation in the formation of literary cluDs and circles, and so gather tothemselyesa great deal of wisdom intheirown way. That way is not altogether lovely. They desire facts, and the knowledge that they are at a certain page in a German or Italian book before a certain time, or that they have read the proper booKsin a proper way. Atany rate, they have something to do that seems as if they were doing some- thing. Ithas been said that the New En- gland stories are cramped and narrow. Even a far-off view of the iron-bound life whence they were drawn justifies the author. You can carve a nut in a thousand different ways, by reason of the hardness of the shell. Twenty or thirty miles across. the hills, on the way to the Green Mountains, lie some finished chapters of pitiful storles—a few score abandoned farms startedin a leanland, held fiercely so longasthere was any one to work them, and then left on the hillsides. Beyond this desolation are woods where the bear and the deer stillfind peace, and some- times even the beaver forgets that he is per- secuted and daresto build his lodge, These things were told me Dy a man who loved the woods for thelr own sake and “~»not for the sake of slaughter—a quiet, low - spoken man of the West, who came across the drifts on snowshoes, and refrained from laughing when I bor- rowed his footgear and. tried to walk. The gigantic lawn tennis bats, strung with hide, are not easy tomanoeuvre. If you forget to keep the long heels down and trailing in the snow you turn over and become as a man who falls into deep water with a life belt tied to hisankles, If you lose your balance do not attempt to recover it, but drop half sitting and half kneeling over as largean area as possible, When you have mastered the wolf step, can slide one shoe above the other deftly, that is to say, the-sen- sation of paddling overa ten-foot-deep drift and taking short cuts by buried fences is worth the ankle-ache. The man from the West interpreted to me the signs on the snow and showed howa fox (this section of the country is full of foxes, and men shoot them because riding is impossible) leaves one kind of spoor, walking with circumspection,as be- comes a thief, and a dog, who has nothing to be ashamed of but widens his four legs and plunges, another; how coons goto sleep for the winter, and squirrels, too, and how tbe deeron the Canada border trample down deep paths that are called yards, and are caught there by inquisitive men with cam- eras, who hold them by their tails when the deer have blundered into deep snow, and so photographed their frightened dignity. He told me of people, also—the manners and customs of New Englanders here, and how they blossom and develop inthe far West on the newer railway lines, when matters come very nearly to civil war between rival compa- nies racing for the same canyon. How there is acountry not very far away called Cale- donia, populated by the Scotch, who can give oints toa New Englander in a bargain, and ow these same Scotch, Americans by birth name their townships stillafter the cities of their thrifty race. It wasall as new and de. lightful as the steady‘ ‘scrunch’’ of the snow- shoes and the dazzling silence of the hills. Beyond the very furthest range were the pines turned toa faint blue haze against the white, one solitary pees real mountain and not a hill—showed like a gigantic thumb- nail pointing heavenward, ‘*And that’s Monadnock,’’ said the man from the West, ‘‘All the hills have Indian names, You left Wantastigat on your right coming out of town.’’ You know how it sometimes happens thata word shutties in and out of many ears, wak- ing all sorts of incongruous associations, [I had met Monadnock on paperina shameless parody of Emerson’s style before ever style or verse had interest for me, But the word stuck because Ofarhymein which some one was: —crowned coeval With Monadnock’s crest, And my wings extended Touch the East and West.

DAUDET. CAREER OF THE MAN WHO LED THE FRENCH LITERARY SCHOOL. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POS8T-DIgPpaton, Paris, April3.—M. Alphonse Daudet has led a strangely chequered and eventful life. Styled with some truth the French Dickens, his works which are full of poignant, yer poetical realism, are not only popular in his own country, but have made him well known in both Eprope and America, Born at Nimes some 62 years ago next May, he had a sad childhood, afterwards described with much tramatic power in Le Petit Chase, Fortwo years he was usher ata school in Alais, and went through the drudgery of that humble calling at an age when other boys are generally at school. Even in those early days he had intense literary aspira- tions, and when only 17 years old he and his brother Ernest, went to Paris in order to gain a livelihood by their pens. After passing through some bitter experiences, during which time the two lads lived on something like $12 a month, Alphonse brought out a volume of poetry, ‘‘Les Amoureges,’’ which immediately gained for him a certain reputation and led to his employ- ment on several newspapers. From that time forward he wrote constantly for the Figare, composing be- tween whiles short plays, and writing the admirable articles which were afterwards published in a collected form as ‘‘Comtes de mon Moulin,’’ For five years he was Private Secretary to the Duc de Morny, the half- brother of Napoleon III.; and it was during this period of his life that he moved in the brilliant society afterwards described with such minute fidelity and scathing satire, in **Kings in Exile’’ and ‘*Le Nabob,’’ During the last three or four years M, Daudet has suffered much from persistent ill health. At no time did he mix muchin Part- sian society; his home and nis work ab- sorbed all his time, andof late he has seen none but very intimate friends, such as Emile Zola, Edmund de Goncourt, and M. and Mme, Lockroy, the mother and stepfather of his son’s wife, pretty ‘‘Peach Blossom’’ Hugo, for whom France’s great poet wrote ‘‘The Art of Being a Grandfather, However, armed with a letter of Mmtroduc- tion from M. de Goncourt, I made my way to the quiet street situated inthe heart of the Quartier Latin where Alphonse Daudet aoe his wife have set up their household ods. ec ike most old-fashioned Parisians, they live ina flat, but the novelist has been fort- (Sagas 2 Ne \S) wry te Lo A / rte “. 4 ‘ “ Ney ve Ns Haus ,* 4 \ ey Hint j i Y ,, MY / VY, Mj / Mi] .)) ~ 4 Y Wildes sh ‘44° We Alphonse Daudet. unate enough herein the Rue de Bellechas- see to secure a fine view Over southern Paris from his study windows. The room in which Alphonse Daudet works, is plainly but comfortably furnished. Two large settees, drawn close to the roomy fire- place filled with brightly burning pine logs, give a cosy alrto the apartment. The writ- ing table, a large massive block, covered with papers and pamphlets, occupies the whole of one side of the room. M. Daudet now dictates most of his work to his wife and two secretaries. When receiving visitors he places himself with his back to the light and thus naught but the huge outline of the poet-novelist’s full head is seen by his guests. f ‘*l suppose, M.

Daudet, that you are entirely against divorce?’’ I could see thata pained expression came over the sensitive face half concealed in shadow, ‘*Itisa most difficult question; surely peo- ple’s first duty is to those whom they have brought into the world, and who after all did not ask to come into existence, Think of the effect produced on children by the knowledge (which is quite inevitable) thattheir parents have separated because one of the two was unfaithful tothe other! What a revolution in alltheir thoughts! All life changes; every- thing they have been taught to belleve seems untrue. As you doubtless know, by French law both fatherand mother are allowed to see their children from time totime. Consider the grotesque and painful side of these visits. ‘*You must not speak of mcther to father,’’ or again, ‘*‘You must not speak of father to mother.’’ Yet after all these children are an indissoluble chain which bind the former husband and wife to one another,-and the consent of both must be asked in case one of the young people wishes to get married; indeed, here in France a di- vorced couple play at their old role of hus- band and wife in these ceremonies. No, be- lieve me, when people have children ee separation is of noavail. Absolute integrity of the marriage tieis necessary. In choosing a wifea man must beableto say, ‘‘When I am dying these are the arms in which I will pass away, theseare the fingers which shall close my éyes!’’ A man cannot feel this if he knows that in five or ten years’ time his wife will be able to cast him off and become the legal property of another;or that he, on his side, if he gets tired of her,may have recourse to the aare which the law is only too willing to accord him in order to rid himself of her.’’ There was along pause, **Have you any special notions, M, Daudcet, on the modern theater?’’ ‘*‘No, I do not believe in the new terms which they have lately invented. It does not matter whether a piay is acted bya group af people who call themselves ‘realist,’ ‘idealist,’ ‘old’ or ‘modern;’ ifthe play oodandthe comedians have genius all will gowell. Ineed hardly say thatI donot believe in brutal realism on the boards. Life isa thing of infinite gradations, and this some of our young writers do not seem to understand. ‘Realism’ its not real life. When you write a play your desire ig to show life as it really is, not as it may be under ex- ceptionully revolting circumstances. Howa play is received depends much upon the spirit in which the audience came into the theater, and alsoupon the way in which it has been acted.’’ ‘*Then you have little sympathy with M,.

Iwill give you two absolutely true instances which have occurred during the last ten years, fwo professors, both married men, with children, and each teaching in one of our great Lycees or public schools, came to me with manuscripts in their hands, To both, after careful perusal of their work, I gave the some answer, “You will never suc- ceed in literature, for you have ino joriginal- ity or literary power, although your language is pure and your style correct; therefore if only for the sake of those dependent onyou giveupall thought of making-letters your prceserton. and remaip steadfast to the hon- rable career in which youare beginning to makea certain mark amopg your fellows, One of these professors had unfortunately al- ready hadan article accepted and inserted ina magazine; he disregarded my advice, threw up his post, and leaped into the great literary ocean where 60 a come to certain disaster.

It wasin order to provide a certain number of young men with the wherewithal to find at least time to write pos- sible master pleces, that my friend Edmund de Goncourt and his brother Jules conceived the noble and touching idea of leaving their whole fortunes to an instli- tute, the ‘Academie de Goncourt,’ the members of which would require but two qualifications, viz.: poverty and exception- alliterary power.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATOH. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 14.—The death a few days ago of a man who was known to his friends in Cambria County this State, by the name of Hugh Boyle, gives to the world what is probably the true story of an agragrian crime which rid the North of Ireland of the Third Earl of Leitrim of infamous memory. About the time of Boyle’s death London apers announced the decease of Robert sermingham Clements, Fourth Earl of Leitrim, inthe County of Donegal, Ireland. The connection between the peer and the exile is due to the tragic fact that Boyle was the last survivor of the men who, in 1878, shot to death the Third Earl, by whose removal Richard Clements, thena poor lieutenant in the British Navy, was raised to rank and wealth. Boyle’s right name was stephens and he belonged to a family of yeoman pecu- liar to the North—sturdy, law-abiding and industrious. For thirty years the Earl of Leitrim had been at strife with his tenants—he had 90,000 acres of land stretching across three counties and giving him a rental of over £9,000 per annum, and he spent the best partof thisin harassing his poorer neighbors by suits at law, but the worst trait was shown in his brutal attempts to dishonor the wives and daughters of his tenants, and to accomplish this his influence as a peer and magistrate and his power asa landlord were used with- out fear or restraint—in fact there was nota worse scoundrelin Europe, and it was with truth that his taking off was described as *‘a wild act of natural justice.’’ Hugh Stephens had served in the British army forfive years and with an excellent record asa soldier. On his return home he rented a small place and commenced life as a farmer. One day he met his landlord driving on the road and was ordered to ditch his lit- tle cart soasto make room for the peer’s coach, and this command was enforced with a horsewhip,and this resented with a cudgel, the Earl getting much the worstof it. This was the beginningof trouble for Stephens— he was evicted and ruined by litigation, and his sister, a beautiful and intelligent girl, was assaulted bya ruffianly retainer of his landlord and her character assailed. Some of the neighboring gentry took this up, the man was arrested, tried and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. Leitrim was furious, and swore vengeance on all concerned, In March, 1878, a dozen of the tenantry metatarathin the mountains overlooking Lough Foyle. One ofthe oldest and most re- spected of the menonthe estate sald afew words tothe effect that the tyranny oftheir landlord was more than they coujid endure, andit was now necessary to resort tothe last means intheir powerto preserve their lives andthe honorof their daughters and wives, and all swore to be true to the cause in life or death; £90 was raised, It was resolved to act at once, and six men were chosen asthe instruments of justice, They had brought themselves to believe that in theremoval ofatyrantthey were doing right. Stephens was their leader and he pro- curred the necessary arms. One of their most active and trusted agents was a woman servant at Castle Leitrim; her sister had been brutally treated by the Earl, and it was her revengeto Keep the assassins fully informed of their victim’s movements. On the 2d of April he left Manor Vaughan to goto Milford, en route to Londonderry. He was attended by a balliff named Meehan, who sat on the car by his side, with the driver infront. There was a second car containing his valet and another balliff. All were well armed, The day was beautiful, but rather misty. Stephens and his party stationed them- selves behinda clump of low thorn trees, close to the road, armed with double-bar- relled guns, From the roof of a cabin 400 yards away on the hillside a white cloth was displayed, This wasthe signal thatthe Earl was coming. His indifference to danger was by of manifeste the manner in whicn he dli.- vided his party, The second car was 100 yards awa entirely hidden by a hollow the road, Ashorttime before Lord Leitrim had eyieted an aged widow bamed Algoe and opposite her ruined cabin he fell, f had been soldiers and oh brought down his , burst ver his pistol he rece shot int nosy er came up fe W of the an was left to Coun ie narra HOW ZOLA WORKS. THE GREAT AUTHOR EXPLAINS HOW HE CONSTRUCTS HIS NOVELS, Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH, Paks, April 2.—M. Zolaisa man of such extremely methodical habits that, except when he is away at his country seat at Medan, one may find him in at there hours all the year round. Im the morning he writes, spending about three hours dally at his writing table in the artistic study, half workshop, half studio, on the first floor of his hotel, At 1 o’clock he lunches, devotes an hour after lunch to his friends, and spends the rest of the afternoon outofdoors. He may usually be seen at some time or another in the afternoon, at the Hotel Drouot, attending the auction sale of pictures and art bric-a-brac. He isa great lover of curios, and his house at the Rue de Bruxelles, as wellas his country seat at Medan, are filled with artistic treasures. He possesses, amongst other things, priceless pleces of tapestry of a very early period. His chief pleasure in lifeis bargaining at these artsales, ‘‘Formerly;’’ he said once to me, *‘Tused to get shamefully robbed, and all kinds of worthless rubbish was palmed off on me. ButI have served my appenticeship as an art-collector now.’’ Back home até, he has another hour for friends and callers, He dines at 7, and givesup therestof his even~- ing to his domestic life. Asa general rule, so he told me himself, he prefers people to call in the evening, as at the-earlier hour, which is shortly after he has got through with his task, he is usually in a very nervous and ir- ritable state. I found him looking worrled, but not so nervous as usual. He sat quietly while we spoke, and, as a generalrule, when M. Zola is discoursing on any subject that lies nigh to his heart, his muscles are in riot all the while. He haga special habit of constantly moving to and fro his slippered foot, which denotes great nervousness, The first thing! said to htm was, ‘‘Nowthat ‘The Crash’ has assumed definite shape and fs near comple- tion can you pronounce yourself satisfied with it?’’ ‘*l am never satisfied with my books,’’ said Emile Zola, ‘‘andwith ‘The Crash’ no more than with its predecessors. If I have any feeling towards my latest work it is one of execration. Yes, I execrate it. That is, however, my usual feeling towards a book that I have completed or am completing. I feel how little I have realized what I wanted to do, how much I have left unsaid, how far short I have fallen of my ideal, how little use I have made of my materials, WhenI 100k at itit seems to me to be shapeless and con- fused. I have always felt so towards all my books, It is only after some time, when [I have forgotten what were my dreams about it, what was my ambition In connection with it, when the once vivid ideal has faded away out of my mind, thatI enjoy in the contemplation of my work some measure of satisfaction. With ‘The Crash’ it will be as with all my pre- vious works. I hate it now. Icould stamp on it with anger. Later on I shail feel my disappointment less. Butit will take longer with me to reconcile myself to this book than itdid with the others, because ‘The Orash’ has given me infinitely more _ trouble than any of my previous works, When I began writing it, I had no conception of the immensity of the task which I had im. sed on myself, The labor of reading up all hat has been written on my subdjectin gen- eral, and on the battle of Sedan in particular, has been enormous, andthe work of con- densation of all that I have had to read has been all the more laborious, for on no subject has more divergence of opinion been ex- pressed. You see that revolving book. case on your left hand crammed full with books and brochures; you see that Boule commode, with its overfiowing drawers crammed with newspapers and manuscripts; you see those dossiers on my writing table? All that is material which I have had to digest. I have read all that has been written about the battle of Sedan, as well as about the un.- happy adventures of the luckless Seventh Corps d’Armee, in which !Is placed the ficti- tious regiment which plays the leading role in my novel. And the digest.on has not besn an easy task, Each general, for instance hasa different version to give of the why an wherefore of the defeat, Each claims to have had a plan, which, if it had been followed, would have averted disaster, Another difficulty has been, that I took no art in that campaign, not having een a soldier, and that for my information on the life and ex- perience of those who went throuh the campaign in general, and the battle of Sedan in particular, [have had to depend on out- side testimony, often ofa conflicting nature, Imay say, however, that in this matter I have been greatly helped by the kindness of persons whoare good enough to be inter, ested in my work, and assoon as it became known that I was writing a book about the warandabout sedan, received from all arts of France manuscript relations writ- en by people of all classes who had been present at the battle, and who sent me their recollections, That was most excellent material. Indeed the best, be. cause not to found anywhere else. Seehere: ‘Anecdotal account of the battle of Sedan,’ sent by a gentleman whois now a professor at one of the universities in the South. And here, this long, Iill-spelled letter, which comes to me from a game- keeper in the North, in which he gives meg full account of the battleas it impressed him, who was a private soldier in the Seventh Corps @’Armee at thetime. I have masses of such documents, and it was my duty to go through everything that could throw any light on the subject. My labor has been one of reconciliation of Givergent statements in the first place, and of condensation in the second, had to reduce to one page what I could easily, and without prolixity, have treated in a dozen pages; so that with each page, nay with each sentence, I have been confronted with the question what to leave out and what to say. Then when each page was written I began to torture myself with the doubt whether I had left things unsaid J ought to have said, whether I had sacrificed good to inferior material. Ah, yes, it hag given me enormous trouble.’’ ‘* The book divides itself into thirds?’’ ‘*Yes, ‘The Orash’ ig divided into three parts. Each part will contain about eight chapters of more than average length. The book will be one of my strongest stories. The first part treats of the action of the lucklesg Seventh Corps d’Armee, in which is the fic. titious regiment in which my hero or heroes are placed. I say heroes, because I have really two heroes in this story. One is Jean of my novel, ‘LaTerre,’’ who ig a corporal this regiment; the other is a new character named Maurice, who gore through Sedan as a pri- vate soldier. Between these two mena great friendship exists, and, indeed, it is from this friendship in the face of death and danger this comradeship in arms malgre tout, that draw the chief effects of sentiment with which my novel is seasoned, For ‘The Crash’ is not a love story. The female characters in it play only secondary roles; there is no love making worth speaking about, at the most onl the ‘intention’ of love, the indication o courtship. Jean and Maurice, my two heroes, moreover, present types of the France of the day. Maurice, who is repre- sented as a young map who hag recently been admitted to the bar, ts the man of the world—light, cynical, skeptical, the type of the France of the —o embodying her raceand her faults.

For obserye, that my book, as far as outward construction goes, divided into three parts may also be divided into 4 novel of historical and a novel of psychological interest. It telisatale of many adventures, but it also aims to give a - full list of psycholog!i- cal studies of French society as it was at the outbreak of the war, y novels have always been written witha higher aim than merely toamuse. Ihave sohigh an opinion of the novel as a means of expression—I con- sider it paralle} with lyrical poetry, as the highest form of literary expression, just as in the jast century the drama was the highest form of expression—that it is on this accoant that I have chosen it as the form in which to present to the world what I wish to say on the social, scientific and psychological problems that ni the minds of thinking men, But for this I might have said what I wanted to say to the world in another form. But the novel has 9 2 risen from the place which it held in the last century at the table ofthe banquet of letters, It was then the idle pastime of the hour, and sat low down between the table and the idyll. To-day it contaips,or may be made to contain,every- thing, and it is because that is my creed that Iamanovelist. 1] have, to my thinking, cer- tain contributions to make tothe thought of the world on certain subjects, and I have chosen the novelasthe best way of com- municating these contributiong to the world, Thugs ‘‘The Crasgh,’’ in the form of avery precise and accurate relation of a series Of historical facts—in other words in the form ofa realistic historical novei—is a document on the psychology of France in 1870. This will explain to you the number of characters which figurein the book, Each character represents one etat d’ame psychologique of the France of the day. If my work be well done, the reader will be able to understand what wasin men’s mind and what was the bent of men’s minds—what they Shovent and how they thought at that per oO § | ‘*l have no subject whatever to start with,’’ he said in answerto a question, ‘‘only the idea ofa subject, In this case I had the idea of a novel about the war, and the catas- trophe and falling-in of the empire. I never trouble to search for a subject, but havingan epoch ora phase of life in my mind,set tawork to read up all that I can find that will instruct and inform me on thatepoch and that sub- ject. As I read, the characters suggest themselves, The personages spring from the epoch itself, My readings give me in due course my _ subject. Thus in this novel, which incarnates the mill- tary spirit of the time, each phase ‘of the subject suggested a character, The subject was to be war. had to consider war in its relation to various classes of society war vis-a-vis the bourgeois, war vis-a-vis the peasant, war vis-a-vis the workman. How the war was brought about—that is to say, the state of mindof men in France at the time-—-wasa consideration which also sup- plied me with a number of characters. I had to show ina series of types, France who had lost the use of liberty, France drunk with leasure, France fated irrevocably to disas- er. had to have types to show France sO prompt to enthusiasm, so prompt to despair. And then there were to be shown the immense faults committed, and to show by character howthe commission of such faults was possible, a natural sequence of a certain psychological state of mind ofacer- tain peepencerns ng class, which existed in the last days of the Empire. Tnen each phase of action had to be typified. The ques- tion of the Emperor and his surroundings—I had to have characterg to explain ‘‘the sick man’’ and his state atthetime, I had to show how it was withthe peasants of the persed, and hence to equip a eharacter or wo for that purpose, The franc tireurs playedan important part in the epoch;it therefore became necessary for me to incar- nate these, tocreate a typical franc-tireurs, The spies and spying hau thelr influence on the wnole; [had tohaveaspy.

It then became necessary for me to see the places, to study the geogra- phy of my book, for at that period I aid not know where my scenes were to be laid, whether on the banks of the Rhine or else- where. 80, with my rough draft in my pocket, and my head teeming with the shadows of my marionettes, and of the things that they wereto do and to explain, I set off for Rheims and went carefuily over the whole ground, drivin from Rheims to Sedan, and following by foot the road by which the seventh corps —already decided upon as the milieu in which may novel was to develop— marched to thelr disaster. During that drive | picked up an immense quantity of material, halting in farm houses and peasant cottages. and taking copious notes.

Beaux, April 3,—During my limited stay ig Berlin I cowld not resist seeking an interview with Edward von Hartmann, who is up- doubtedly the greatest modern of Germany, the author of the ‘‘Philosophy. ofthe Uncengcious,’’ the system of which is based on the materialism of Darwin and the pessimism of Schopenhauer. The leading were unconscious until they were called forth by a suggestion?’’ To find out how far the influence of the unconscious can be traced in will, idea, instinct, nature, etc,, etc., is the task he put himself. Let me describe my first meeting with this extraordinary thinker, As it is always wise before meeting such meg to prepare Oneself with some topic of conver- sation, 1 ehose a subject which will interes? almost any reader and which has but a limited place in his hitherto published writings, his idea on woman's rights. Afriend had advised me to meet bim at Cafe Bauer, where he often came to glance through the papers inthe afternoon. An in- troduction would hardly be necessary, and in spite of a little gruffness of manner he ia found to be avery pleasant conversational- ist. So one afternoon I entered the Cafe Bauer, ordered gome refreshments. I inquired of the waiter if he knew Mr. E. you Hartmanon. ‘*Of course; who does not know him? Do you wish to speak to him?’’ Theh giancing over the guests, ‘*he is not here yet. That's his corner over there, He generally comes at 2ifhe comes atall.’* 80 I waited with im- tience, Itst two and aftera all, robust, solid-headed man, with along newing Dees, entered and révealed in his ait that he haa in his youth served as an of- cer in the German army. As soon as he was seated I approached him and begged the favor ofa conversation wit him on the much discussed subject o ‘*women’s rights.’’ ‘*You wish to hear my opinions on women. Well, you had better take a seat, for it is not an easy subject to be discussed; but before I begin ibeg youtolisten carefully, for I dis- ike having any misconstrued ideas published that | am emppoeee to have uttered.’’ Though promis ng to be very attentive, I ound it extremely dificult to follow the ve- ement fowofhis words, sputtering away with weighty thoughts, showing wonder knowledge and mastery of human nature; the words he used, however, were simple, very much like his style of writing. His works bave done more than any before to bring sclence In an untechinical shape asa part of literattre in the broad sense. ‘*How do you come to ask me sucha ques- tion’’* he said, comfortably sipping his cof- fee and lighting a cigar. I explained my rea- son, He nodded with his large head ‘*True enough, woman’s emancipation is. making rapid progress everywhere and no- body can escape its influence. The woman who desires to be equa] to man has gained a foothold in all countries and nations. In the last 300 years nothing has undergone more in- trinsic changes than the position which wom- en take in social life, The woman of 1770 ca hardly be recognized in the woman of 1890,’ ‘*‘Do you think that contemporary liter- ature gives usa good idea of the moderna woman?’’ **Hardly,’’ he continued in his fascinatin though dictatorial and somewhat rou manner, ‘‘The modern woman has to studied from life; she has not appearance in literature. Emile Zola, who has given us his ‘Rougeon Marquarts,' a marvelous description of even historical ac. curacy of the girl, the woman, the mother of to-day, has nevertheless endowed them with a symbolistic sensuousness which reminds us too often of romanticism, Guy de Maupassant is oneof the first who understood that women begin to realize in what the essence of life consists, and in his novel, ‘*Notre Coour,’’ he has made an at- tempt to introduce to his reader the relation of men and women without the mystic monot- ony of Zola or the erotic sentimentality of Paul Bourget. ’ ‘*Do you think women are right?’* He shrugged his shoulders. ‘'For centuries women have submitted with martyr-like resignation to the brutality of men. Who can blame them then that they now struggle to free themselves from the ecruel bondage, and want, moreover, to practice all human privi- leges. This results naturally in a certain fear of merely domestic and maternal duties. And yet it is to be regretted, because women are yet to lose their traditional female quali- ties and adopt the egotism and, {1 fear, even the brutality of men,’’ ‘‘And have you really observed these changes in womeny’’ ‘*Everywhere!’’ he called out emphati- cally, ‘‘you can nowadays find the woman who does not care to be loved and taken care ofandeven demands perfect independence in married fe.

Copyright. I tried a little while ago to cure Mac- Shaughnassy of his fatal passion for advice giving, by repeating to hima very sad story that was told to me by a gentleman I met in an American railway car. I was traveling from Indianapolis to Buffalo, and, during the day, it suddenly occurred to me that I might make the journey a more interesting one by leaving the cars at Cleveland and completing the distance by water. But then I did not know how the boats ran, andI had no guide book with me. [I glanced about for some one to question, A mild-looking, elderly gentle- man sat at the next window reading a book, the cover of which was familiar to me. I deemed him to be intelligent and approached him, _ **] beg your pardon for interrupting you,’’ I said, sitting down opposite to him, ‘‘but could you give me any information about the boats between Cleveland and Buffalo?’’ ‘*Well,’’ he answered, looking up with a pleasant smile, ‘‘thefe are three lines of boats altogether. There is the Heggerty ljne, but they only goas faras Erie. Then there are the lake boats, which go over every other day. Or there is what we call the Niagara boat.’’ ' ; ““On,’’ Isaid. ‘*Well, now, which would you advise me to—’’ He jumped to his feet with a cry and stood glaring down at me witha gleam in his eyes which was positively murderous. ‘*¥You villain,’’ he hissed in low tones of concentrated fury; ‘‘sothat’s your game, is it. I'll give you something that you’ll want advice about;’’ and he whipped out a six- chambered revolver. I felt hurt. lalsofelt that if the interview were prolonged I might even feel more hurt. So lleft him, without a word, and drifted over to the other end of the car, where I took up a position between’a stout lady and the door. I was still musing upon the incident when, looking up, I observed my elderly friend mak- ing towards me. ! rose and laid my hand upon the door-knob. - He should not find me unprepared. He smiled reassuringly, how- ever, and held out his hand. **I’ve been thinking,’’he said, ‘‘that maybe I was alittle rude to you justnow. Ishould like, if you will let me, to explain. I think, when you have heard my story, you will un- derstand and forgive me.’’ There was that about him that made me trusthim. We found a quiet corner inthe smoking-car. I had a ‘‘whisky sour,’’ an excellent drink, if the lemons are really fresh (but never let them put cloves in it), and he prescribed for himself a strange thing of his own invention. Then we lighted our cigars, and he told me this story: Thirty years ago I was a young man with a healthy belief in myself anda desire todo good toothers. I did not imagine myself a genius. I did not even consider myself exceptionally brilliant or talented. Butit did seem to me, and the more I noted the doings of my fellow men and women the more assured did I become of it, that I possessed plain, practical common sense to an unusual degree. Conscious of this, I wrote a little book, which I entitled, **Howto Be Happy, Wealthy and Wise,’’ and published it at my own expense. I did not seek for profit. I merely wished to be useful. The book was very favorably received by the press and*well noticed. Notwithstanding this the book did not make the stir that I had anticipated. The ogee apparently, did not care to know ow to be happy, wealthy and wise. One morning about a twelvemonth after- wards I was sitting in my study, when the servant entered to say that there was a man down stairs who wanted very much to see me. He was @ common man, but he had an open. intelligent countenance; and his man- ner was most respectful. I motioned him to be seated. He selected a chair, and sat down on the extreme edge of It. **] hope you'll pard’n this intrusion, sir,’’ he began, speaking deliberately, and twirling his hat the while, ‘‘But I’ve come more’n 200 miles to see you, sir.’’ I eer myself as pleased, and hecon- tinued: ‘‘They tell me, sir, as you’re the gentlemen as wrote that little book, ‘How to be Happy, Wealthy and Wise.’’ He enu- merated the three items slowly, dwelling lovingly on each. I admitted the fact. **Ah, that’s a wonderful book, sir,’’ he wenton. ‘‘I ain’t one of them as has got brains. of their own—not to speak of—but I know enough to knowthem as has; and when Iread that little book, I says to myself Josiah Hackett, I a (that’s my name, sir, when youf¥e in doubt don’t you get addling that thick head of yours as will only tell you all wrong, you gotothe gentleman as wrote that little book and ask him for his advice. ’’ lt appeared that the worthy fellow wanted to marry, but could not make up his mind whom he wanted to marry. He had his eye —so he expressed it—upon two young women, and they, he had reason to believe, regarded him in return with more than usual favor. Phe one, Juliana,the only daughter of a retired sea captain, he described asa win- some lassie, with fair hair and blue eyes. The other, whose name was Hannah, was an older and altogether more womanly girl. She was the eldest of a large family. Her father, he said, was a God-fearing man, and was doing wellin the timbertrade. He asked me which of them I should advise him to marry. He handed me photographs of both the young persons under consideration. His gratitude was touching. ‘‘Don’t you trouble to write no letters, sir,’’ he said, **you just stick down ‘Julia’ or ‘Hannah’ on a bit of paper, and putit-in an envelope. I shall know what it means, and that’s the one as I shall marry.’’ Then he gripped me by the hand and left me. I gave a good deal of thought to the selec. tion of Josiah’s wife. I wanted him jfto be happy. Juliana was certainly very pretty. There was a lurking playfulness about the corners of Juliana’s mouth which conjured up to one’s mind the sound of ripplin laughter and the vision of delicious childis outings. Had I acted on impulse, I should ave clasped Julia in Josiah’s arms and have asked her to be his wife. But, 1 reflected, more sterling qualities than mere playfulness and prettiness are needed for a wife. Childish girls too often td into silly women. Pretty lips some- imes develop into ugly, bad tempered mouths. ‘*Hannah,’’ though not so charming as ‘Julia, clearly possessed both energy and sense, qualities highly necessary toa poor man’s wife, and not tooreadily found. an- nah’s father was a pious man, and was ‘do- ing well’—a thrifty, saving man, no doubt. He would ha instilled into her lessons of economy and virtue; and later on, she might possibly come in fora little something. she was the eldest of alargefamily. She was sure to have had to help her mother a good deal. She would be experienced in household matters, and would understand the bringing up of children. Josiah, I had also to remember, wasa man evidently of weak character, He would need management. Now there was something about Hannah’s eye that eminently suggest. | ed management. At the endof two days my mind was made up. I wrote ‘‘Hannah’’ ona slip of paper and posted it. oe afterwards I received a letter from Josiah. Hethanked me formy advice but added incidentally that he wished I could have made it ‘‘Julia.’’. He thought that if I could heave seen *‘Julia’’ and known her bet- wives. Every letterthat arrived, I dreaded to open, fearing it might be from Josiah. At every knock I started up, and looked about fora hiding place. Every time I came acfoss the heading ‘‘Domestic pe yp ie in the newspapers, I broke into a cold perspiration. Three years passed peacefully away da and |, I was Sextnaing to forget the existence of the Hacketts, Then hecame again. I returned home from business one evening to find him waiting for me inthe hall, e moment I saw him I knew that my worst fears had fallen short of thetruth. I motioned him to follow me to my gcudy . He did so and seated himself onthe identical chair on which he had sat three yearsago. The change in him was remarkable. He looked old and care- worn. His manner was that of resigned hopelessness. ‘-Things have not been going well with you, I’m afraid, Josiah,’’ I said. . ‘*No, sir,’’ he replied, quietly; ‘‘I can’tsay asthey have, altogether. That Hannah of yours has turned out a bit of a teaser. There was no touch of reproach in_ his tones. He simply stated a melancholy fact. ‘*You don’t hit it off well together?’’ I sug- gested. He seemed puzzled. ‘‘We—we has a bit of a scrimmage now and then, sir, if that’s—’ ‘**No, no,’’ Linterrupted, ‘‘I merely mean you’re not bappy together.’’ He shook his head. ‘‘Can’t say as we are, sir. Leastwise I ain’t.’’ ‘‘But sheitsa good wife to you in other ways,’’I urged. ‘‘She has her faults, of course. Weallhave. But she is energetic, Come, now, you will admit she’s qnorgert 7 ‘*Oh, yes, she’s that,’’ he assented. ‘*‘A little too much so for our sized house, | some- times think.’’ ‘*You see,’’ he wenton, ‘‘she’s a bit cor- nery in her temper, Hannah ts; and then her mother is a bit trying at times.’’ **Her mother!’’ lexclaimed; ‘‘but what’s she got to do with you?’’ ‘*Well, you see, sir,’’ he answered. ‘*She’s living with us now—ever since the old man went off.’’ ‘*‘Hannah’s father? He is dead, then?’’ ‘*Well, not exactly, sir,’’ he replied. ‘‘He ran off about a twelve-month ago with one of the young women who usedto teach inthe Sunday school, and joined the Mormons. groaned. ‘‘An his business,’’ I in- qatese ; ‘*the timber business—who carries that on?’’ **Oh that!’’ answered Josiah. ‘‘Oh that had to be sold to pay his debts—leastways to go towards ’em.’’ I remarked what a terrible thing it was for his family. Isupposed the home was broken up and they were all scattered. ‘*No, sir,’’ he replied simply, ‘‘they ain’t scattered much, They’re all iiving with us.’’ ‘*But there,’’ he continued, seeing the look upon my face; ‘‘of course all this has nothing to do with you, sir. You’ve got troubles of your own, I dare say, sir. I didn’t come here to worry you with mine. That would bea poor return for all your kindness to me.’’ ‘*What has become of Julia?’’ Iasked. A smile broke the settled melancholy of his features. ‘‘Ah,’’ he saidin a more cheerful tone than he had hitherto employed: ‘‘It does one good to think about her. it does. There ain’t many like her, She’s married to a friend of mine now, young Sam Jessop, a chap inthe dry goods line. I slips out and gives ’emacailnow and then when Hannah ain’tround. Lord, it’s like getting a glimpse of heaven to look into their little home. He often chaffs me about it, Sam does. ‘Well, you was a sawny-headed chunk, Josiah, you was,’ heoftensaystome. We’re old chums, you know, sir, Sam and me, so he don’t mind joking a bit like.’’ He said he did not know how he should have managed it all if it had not been for the help of the Captain, Julia’s father. He said ‘the Captain’ had behaved more likean angel than anything else he knew of. ‘‘And that reminds me, sir,’’ he went on ‘*of what I’ve come bere about. You’ll think it very bold of me to ask, sir, but ——’’ Iinterrupted him. ‘‘Josiah,’’ I said, ‘‘I admit that lam much to blame for what has come upon you. You asked for my advice. I gave ittoyou. Which of us was the bigger idiot we will not discuss. The point was that I did give it, and lam nota manto shirk my responsibilities. What, in reason, you ask, and Ilcan grant, I will give you.’’ He was overcome with gratitude. ‘‘I know it, sir,’’ he said, ‘*I Knew you would not refuse me. I said so to Hannah. I said ‘I will gotothat géntleman and ask him. He will give it me, Iknow. Iwill go to himand ask him for his advice.’ ’’ I said, ‘*‘His what?’’ **His advice,’’ repeated Josiah, apparently surprised at my tone, ‘‘ona little matteras I can’t quite make up my mind about.’’ Ithought at first that he was trying to be sarcastic, but he wasn’t. That man satthere and wrestled with me for my advice as to whether he should invest $1,000 which Julia’s father had offered to lend him in the purchase of a laundry business or abar. He hadn’t had enough of it (my advice, I mean); he wanted it again, and he spun me reasons why I should give it him. Well, itseemeda simple thing to advisea man about. I promised to look over the papers and let him know what I thought. I brought an amount of thought to bear upon this thousand-dollar investment suf- ficient to have floated a bank. I did not mean to make another ‘‘Hannah’’ job if I could helpit. Istudiedthe papers Josiah had left with me, but did not attempt to form any opinion fromthem,. I went down quietly to Josiah’s city and inspected both businesses onthe spot. Ilinstituted secret but searchin inguiries about themin the neighborhood. disguised myself asa simple-minded youn man who had come into a little money, an wormed myself into the confidence of the servants. I interviewed halfthe town. As the result of my investigations I discov- ered that so faras the two businesses them- selves were concerned there was not a pin to choose between them. It became merelya question of which particular trade would best suit the Hacketts. Irefiected. The keeper ofa bar was ex- posed to much temptation. A weak-minded man, mingling continually in the company of topers, might possibly end by giving way to drink. Now Josiah was an a weak-minded man. It had also to be borne in mind that he hada shrewish wife, and that her whole family had come to live with him. Clearly, to place Josiah in a position of easy access to unlimited Mquor would be madness. About a laundry, on the other hand, there was something soothing and peaceful. The working of a laundry needed many hands. Hannah’s relatives might be used up ina laundry and madeto earn their own Diving, Hannah might expend her energy in flat- ironingand Josiah could turn the mangle. The idea conjured up quite a pleasant domes- tic picture. I recommended the laundry. On the following Monday Josiah wrote to say that he had bought the laundry. On Tuesday Tread in the Commercial Intelligencer that ‘‘one of the most remarkable features of the time was the marvelous rise taking place in the vaiue of hotel ana bar property.’’ On Thursday, in the list of ‘‘failures,’’ I came across no less than four laundry proprietors; and the paper added, in explanation, that the American washing industry, owing to the rapid growth of Chinese competition, was practically on its lastlegs. 1 went out and got drunk.

In MISSOURI, IN THE SPRINGTIME. St..Joe wasa trading post, established in 1848, at the confluence of the Blacksnake Creek with the great parent of waters. It was established by Joseph Robideaux, a Frenchman, and he is the man referred to in- cidentally on a tomb-stone uponthe shores of Lake Superior. The stone reads as follows: -*" *" "This stone was erected to the . memory of : JOHN ROBIDEAUX, who was shot - 4 request of 4 _ his brother. te Joseph isthe brother at whose request the stone was erected and who forgot to have the stone properly punctuated. This country inthe early days was invaded by the Sacs and Foxes. A humorous historian might have said the Anglo-Saxon Foxes, but that would be facetious license. A steamboat landing was erected here at great expense by driving a pole into the river bank, Soon afterward Audubon visited the place, and with prophetic eye foretold the great future in store for St. Joseph. It is the first instance on record where the prophetic eye has been utilized in that way. Robideaux laid out a townsite here and then called together the old hunters and trappers to name thelittletown. Mr, Robi- deaux had provideda large barrel of some- thing to shatter across the bow ofthe newly christened craft. Each trapper suggested a name, Dut each name seemed to be distasteful to Joe, till Charlie Stewart, the ‘‘Old Zip Coon’’ of history, suggested, with his eye on the keg, thatit be called St. Joseph in honor of Mr, Robideaux. **Knock her head in,’’ said Joe, and the barrel was busted quicker than a New York Sunday law. General good feeling prevailed, followed by remorse and Apollinaris water. The streets were named while the general good feeling was in the act of prevailing. hey were named for the sons daughters of whom Joseph had repeatedly found himself the par- ent. Among them were Messanie, Angel- ique, Sylvanie, Charles, Edmund, Felix, Francis, Jule, Fareog, Michel, Rosine, Antoine, Louts, Fouline, Auguste, Isabelle Iodine, Fouberg, Robideaux, Alfonse an Poisson. The streets were the first to give out, for Joseph still had his quiver full of names. Robideaux builta big brick store, which was known far and wide asthe great build- ing of the western country. Itisnowa modest sausage factory, famous for its manufacture of the toothsome black-and-tan sausage of Missouri Joseph has long since passed on to that eternal hunting ground where the coonskin At the Grave of Robideauz. cap is entirely superfluous. His portrait now hangsin the Board of Trade auditorium of the prosperous city. St. Joe in 1860 became the starting point of the famous pony express,a daring enterprise, which no one but an American would have deemed possible. There was a Wall street scheme at that time obtaining a subsidy of $10,000,000 from the Government for carrying the mails overland from New York to San Francisco for a year. Wm. H. Russell, backed by Secretary of War Floyd, thought the scheme was not warranted in the interests of economy. He also offered to bet $200,000, that being all he had with him at the time, that he could put on a mail line that would cover the 1,950 miles between St. Joe and San Francisco in ten days. , The Wall street boys took the bet, and the big go-as-you-please race against time began. Mr, Russell bought 300 of the toughest and fleetest ponies he could find, and hired 125 men who could ride on horseback without painful regrets onthe following day. The relays were made at ten to twenty miles apart. Eachrider hadto cover sixty miles, and allow himself two minatesto skip from one horse to thefother with his saddle- bags of il, ee ipetl 6, 1860, the pony express started. A gun fired on the steamer Sacramento, in the bay at San Francisco, was the signal. Billy Baker, mounted on the restless little hornet, Border Ruffian, madea little cloud of dust, and as the echoes of the big gun died away swiftasthe telegram ae the salary of the operators along the line, he sped toward the Sierras. All went well.* The first rider made twenty miles in forty-nine minutes. Everything ran smoothly, notwithstanding the Indians and the deserts, till the courier reached the Platte, It was acase of Damon and Pythias, so far as high water went, and the treacher- ous river was more than bank full of icy water rushing over its uneasy bed of quick- sand.
