England’s Attitude Toward the Pro- posed Monetary Conference. » MINISTER LINCOLN REFUSES TO STATE WHAT HE ENOWS OF IT. Government Leaders Preparing for an Appeal to the Country—Parliament Likely to Close Its Life in June— Gladstone’s Political Plans—The Par- nellites and Their Tory Patrons— Langtry’s New Play—London Topics, Lonpow, April 30.—United States Minister Lincoln has communicated with the State Department about England’s attitude re- garding Harrison’s proposed monetary con- ference, but he positively refuses to make any statement for publication. According to the best information obtainable from other sources the Government here maintains the same position as it did when Secretary Foster came across, to put out offers, in view of the voluminous re- port on the silver question submitted to Par- liament by Balfour’s cOmmittee. England is not disposed on the eve of a general election to spend much time or money in meeting Harrison’s propositions. She willas a mere matter of courtesy senda well-informed delegate to this conference if it is arranged, but willnot undertake to ac- cept without reservation the conclusions reached at the conference. Influential city men who have the main control of everything financial here regard sil- ver as practically only pocket money. They are convinced the present monetary system in England, which makes gold the Dasis anda restricts silver as legal tenders tothe value of £2,isa system which gives Englana con- trol of the money market and makes En- gland’s credit supreme throughout the com- merciai world. At the money conference in 19891, England dia not empower her delegate to do anything except tovote. Asafinaloutcome, England was willing to grant free coinage to India and consented to keep one-fifth of the reserve in the Bank of England in silver. This proposition the conference did not consider sufficient and ithas therefore ad- journed and nothing has been done since. No Rio Janeiro coffee merchat would sell except on a London draft, which means gold payment. To give an idea how this benfits London bankers, your correspondent was told bya Chicago coffee merchant that he had paid in the twenty years’ business as commission to London bankers for honoring bis drafts $750,000—a strong argument. Bi-metallic favorers here advance the argu- ment that there is not enough goldin the world for common need, hence the constant changes of gold current to different centers. Another point is that in India the English are paid in silver and have to pay in gold, which reduces their income fully one-third, Minister Lincoln positively refused to speak on the subject, declaringit onein which he was bound by the strictest secrecy. He would not even give his personal views on any point bearing upon the question. It may be said with certainty thata large pumber of most prominent city plutocrats of London are strongly opposed to a bimetallic basis. They will use all their influence against it and it is very weighty. BRITISH POLITICS. PARLIAMENT LIKELY TO END ITS LIFE IN JUNE— HOME RULE PLANS. Lonpon, April 30.—All that can be said of the House of Commons is that it is dawdling on to dissolution. Balfour is so arranging the Government business that the greatest pos- sible amount of time will be consumed in do- ing the least possible amount of work. Still dissolution cannot be. staved of beyond the end of June. All ministerial plans pointtothat as being the period on which the Government have fixed for an ap- peal to the country. Gladstone is content toallow the Ministers todoas they please because it gives the Liberals time to perfect their organization. Should the new Parliament meetin July “the ordinary course would be after voting the necessary money for the public service to prorogue it until the new year, when Glad- stone would produce his home rule bill. Gladstone privately expresses his determ!l- nationto not allow another winter to pass over his head without introducing his home rule scheme. His view is that instead of proroguing un- til January the House should meet again in October of this year, especially for his home rule bill; that the second reading should be gotto before Christmas and that then the House should adjourn untitearly in January when the committee stage could be proceeded with. By this method of procedure, he hopes that the bill would be with the Lords by May at the latest, sothatif the Lords decided to reject it, a second general election could be taken in June or July of next year. Harcourt and other of his colleagues are urging a more leisurely mode of procedure, but Gladstone will not be overruled, unless s0Me good reason arises. Gladstone has been much annoyed this week by a motion which stands for debate next Friday, in the name of Blane, a Parnell- ite member. This motion was devised in order to drag Gladstone intoa specific decla- ration as tothe three most important points the home rule Dill, which are the question of land, the legis- ‘Jation of police and the judiciary. The Tories have been gloating hugely over the action of Blane, with whom they have common cause in this matter, and the 7imes has been daily taunting Gladstone with his alleged unreadiness to give the Parnellites the assurances they demand, The Parnellites have been so frightened by the warm avowals of sympathy from the Tories, which are naturally calculated to cover them with ignomy in Ireland, that they have circulated the statement that Blane is acting individually. Thomas Osborn, Conservative, was to-day returned unopposed to Parliament forthe Chelmsford division of Essex to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of W. J. Beadel. This makes nochange in the representation of the constituency, the deceased member having been elected as a Conservative with- out opposition. _ Lord Randolph Churchill has issued a mani- festo, in which he sets forth his attitude on the labor question, a point which has hither- to been undecided. The manifesto in the form of a letter of a can- ‘Gidate for a seat in the House of Commons. Lord Randolph strongly supports the claims of labor, which, he says, isina position to legislate for himself and not to allow jand and commerce to legisiate for it. Henceforth, the manifesto continues, labor ‘willbe independent of all political parties eo this fact ss. qn the latter must recognize : : —— 1891 are published. They show that 934,548 emigrants ‘left the British Isles, of whom 137,881 were English, 58,436 Irish and 22,190 Scotch. é Foreigners to the number of 112,275, emi- grated from English ports, 20,000 over the total of 1890. The report of the board deals exhaustively with the immigration of destitutes from the Continent. It estimatesthat 10,000 Russian Poles settled in England, mostly in London, in 1891, as against 50,000 in 1890. ‘*FRINGE OF SOCIETY.’’ WYNDHAM AND LANGTRY FAIL TO SCORE 8UC- | CESSES—LONDON TOPICS. LONDON, April 30.—The ‘‘Fringe of Society’’ was produced toa brilliant first-night audl- ence at the Criterion to-night. Ifthe play has a run it will not be due to merit disc ernt- ble in its construction. It is slow, full of talk and with little action. The force of two or three Situations is lost because neither Wyndham nor Langtry fill their roles with sufficient ability. In the third act Langtry seemed to really act and secured hearty applause. But there were hisses also through the play and several calls from the gallery to the actors to speak out. At the end of the play the gallery made a noisy demonstration to snow its dls- gust at the fees for the programmes, which Wyndham asked at the end of his speech. ‘‘Do you accept the piece?’’ The gallery shouted ‘*No!’’ but was drowned by the applause from the rest of the house. Langtry has fallen offin looks greatly. Her neck seems thin and her cheeks hollow. Even her gowns were not very effective, though they fitted like a_ glove, The first two were dove colored, the third, cut highin the neck, was gold and white, with a pink train. The plece was beautifully staged. Wyndham, who played the part of the artist, was made up like Sir Frederick Leighton as he looked fifteen years ago. Mary Moore made but little of her role. The play is another failure, unless the acting becomes much improved on what it was to-night. Trinity Church, Chelsea, was the scene this afternoon ofa brilllant wedding. The con- tracting parties were Viscount Chelsea, eld- est son and helr of the Earl Cadogan, and the Hon. Mildred Sturt, a daughter of Lord Allington. The best man was the Hon. Geraid Oakley Cadogan, the second son of the Earl of Cadogan. The bride was given away by i her father. Miss Katherine Arnold, daughter of Sir Edwin Arnold, was married to-day to Ed- ward Hamilton Earle, sonof Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton. The ceremony was performed at St. “Mary Abbott’s Church, Kensington. The bride re- ceived many presents from friends in America. Everybody is wondering why the Duke of Newcastle has suddenly started for America on the Teutonic without his wife. He refused to see the reporters who tried to interview him at Liverpool. Newcastle is no stranger in America. He is fond of saying that on a previous visit he narrowly escaped capture by an American heiress. All the seats for this year’s Bayreuth festival have been taken for the season. Twenty-eight thousand tickets were issued. Of this number no fewer than one-sventh of the total have been purchased in England, London agents are deluged with orders for American buyers. OCEAN CABLE, ANEW LINE TO BE LAID COVERING A DISTANCE OF 2,165 MILES. Lonpon, April 80.—The ship Silverton has left for Senegalin order to lay a new cable, which is to connect that city with Brazil,a distance of 2,155 miles. The cable weighs 4,946 tons and is coiled in three tanks from which it will be paid out. An innovation in the laying of this cable is that it will be paid out over the bow and not over the stern as has hitherto been the case, The cable varies in thickness according to the depth at which it will lie, and its weight also varies in direct proportion with the thickness from fifteen tons per vinat near shore to twenty-one and one-quarter tons for deep water. SAILED FOR JAPAN. ELLIOTT ZBORROWSKI AND HIS BRIDE GOING TO YOKOHAMA. VicToriA, British Columbia, April 30.— Elliott Zborrowski and Mrs. Zborrowski, for- merly the wife of Onevalier De Stuers, the Netherland’s Minister at Paris, came here over the Northern Pacific from Chicago, and have sailed for Yokohama onthe Empress of Japan. They saw no one while here and their identity re- mained unknown until discovered by the Post-DISPATCH correspondent. They were married afterthe Baroness was granted a divorce from her husband at Sioux Falls a few months ago. The lady belongs to the Astor family. SONS OF VETERANS, Carthage, Mo., Preparing to Give Them a Royal Reception. CARTHAGE, Mo., April 30.—It is the intena tion of the citizens of Carthage to give to the sons of Veterans at the forthcoming encamp- ment a reception worthy the descendants of the patriots who fought fo preserve the Upion. The membersof the Oglesby Camp of this city have worked hard to perfect all plans, and their labors have been given every encouragement by all classes and financialiy their needs have been provided for far beyond the expectation of the committee in charge. The in- vitation committee has met with fat- tering success and trom day to day hear of additional members likely to bein attencance. So faras the honors are concerned there are likely to be lively contests between Kansas City and St. Louis, the or- ganizatious in those cities are strong and embrace within’ their ranks many oung men of romise, The §t. uls delegates wili charter a train by way of the Missouri Pacific Railway, the + managers having tendered them exception- aly fine facilities for transportation. Kansas City will have a very beavy representation and also St. Joe. The city of Carthage will be wide open for the sons of the ‘*boys in blue,’’ and her citizens will spare no pains to entertain them most royally. In addition tothe customary routine busi- ness of the order, the Eighth Annual En- campment is to be a memorable one to all who are in attendance. A grand banquet will be spread, a ball given at which all the leaders in society will vie with each other in making the vyisitors happy. Camp Commander KRockhold of this city tis constantly working with his aides in pertect- ing arrangements, and, in conjunction with the State officers, is striving to make this year’s encampment one of unparalleled suc- cess. To aid in the festivities and additional charm to. the arade, Carthage Light Guard will Be in the parade and giveadrill. The Light Guard, under the leadership of Prof. Charles Dumars, has been engaged for the occasion to enliven the meeting with music. Alf Hayman Makes a Change. CuicaGo, Ill., April 30.—The resignation of Acting Manager Alf Hayman, who has for some time successfully directed the destinies of the Columbia Theater for Al Hayman and Will J. Davis, has been tendered. Some time ago Mr. Hayman was offered the gen- eral management of Charlies Frohman’s numerous attractions, with headquarters in New York City, and he finally aecided to ac- cept the offer. He will havean office in New York Uity and will exercise a general super- vision of the agents and the business mana- gers of the Frohman’s traveling companies, agg which he will have a financial inter- The Duke of | MEN AND ARMS -— — Germany Groaning Under In- creased Military Burdens.

The Tax on Beer Arouses the Contests— Caprivi Leaves the Eulenburg to Handle the Reins in the Landtag— Perils of an African Explorer—Wealth in Wine—Want in Russia—Minister Smith’s Views—General Foreign News. BERLIN, April 30.—The financial necessities of Emperor William and the Prussian Gov- ernment will not down. The report on Fri- day that the receipts from the Prussian ralil- ways had fallen 57,000,000 marks below the estimates for the year, that new and extraordinary demands for army and navy were in preparation, and that the ‘‘Castle. view’’ lottery was contemplated by the Gov- ernment have wrought up Liberals and Radl- cals toa high pitch ofexcitement. The plan for the increase of the army has been pressed forward toward completion with an un- usual haste since Italy has be- gun hinting at the necessity of reducing her army by one-third and Austrian politicians have protested that the empire’s sacrifice for the resumption of specie pay- ment must be partially counterbalanced by u lowering of the strength of the standing army. The loss of troops to the triple alliance in Italy and Austria, the Emperor thinks, must be made up by Germany, and an enormous increase of the empire’s military burdens is therefore contemplated. The septenniate bill, fixing the stand- ing ariny in peace at 468,000 men, will enpire on April 1, 1894. The new Dill, it is now reported, will propose not only that from that time the peace force shall be ap- proximately 525,000 men, but that the artil- lery shall be increased and newly armed. The expense for all this could bardly be Delow 100,000,000 marks. The Independents, represented by the Boersen Courier and the Friessenige Zeitung, say that this is not balf the story. The debates upon the reassembling of the Landtag lack the expected interest. The Conservatives and Centrists appeared to be timid and did not take the opportunity to de- fine their position towards the Government. They confined themselves to acrimonious Speeches censuring the Government for the withdrawal of the primary, educational. bill, While the Progressists upanimously _pre- dicted *the triumpb ot the Liberals at the general elections. The financial reforms proposed by Herr Miquel, Minister of Finance, will shortly be delivered inthe Landag. ‘They are certain to meet with bitter opposition. The schemes will be attacked as a piece of State socialism. He proposes to make the income tax pro- gressive, exempting small incomes, and he will also introduce a new tax making interest pay more in proportion than earn- ings. Minister Miquel expects that the increased revenue thus obtained will enable him to resign taxes on lands and industries amounting to 100,000,000 marks to the local authorities. His most unpopular proposal is toimposea tax on beer, which the Centurists will especially attack. Proba- bly inthe face of the opposition, Minister Miquel will abandon the proposed tax. Chancellor Von Capriyi, whose departure for Carisbad had been delayed by the serious illness of his nephew, Count Finkenstein, has not returned direct to Berlin. He will go toa Southern health resort. Surprise has been expressed at the Chancellor leaving to Count Von Eulenburg the burden of the de- bate in the Landtag, The general belief is that the Chancellor wishes to emphasize the withdrawal from the Presidency of the Prussian ministry, and to leave Count Von Eulenburg to handle the reins of an imyortant debate unaided, and thus gauge his future influence, with which the Chancellor will have to reckon, WANT IN RUSSIA, MINISTER SMITH REVIEWS THE OUTLOOK IN THE FAMINE DISTRICTS. Loxnpon, April 30,—Charles Emory Smith, Minister to Russia, was asked to-day by your correspondent about the famine. Mr. Smith said the suffering was not over and would not be till next harvest, but with the pro- visions now assured and on the way from America, the peasants will get through. The supply is scanty. Men mustlive on half fare, but grave immediate danger is over. The most serious needs now are seed for spring sowing and the replenishment of horses and farm stock, of which there has been great destruction. Otthe future no man can tell. Insome districts the outiook for the next crop is good, in others not. ‘*Is there any war talk?’’ asked the corre spondent. ‘*There is no present danger of war from Russia. The stories of great concentration of troops on the Western frontier are base- less. Some of the London papers have massed more Cossacks in Poland than there are in all Russia together. One particular story that I have in mind estimated the number ten times larger than it actualiy is. The Emperor is peacefully inclined—the present situation in Europe makes him more than any other ruler the arbitrator of peace or war and he is for peace.’’ ‘‘What about theemigration of the Jews?’’ asked the correspondent. ‘‘There is noé likely to bejas large an exodus this yearas last. Germany has closed her frontier against them. Austria may do the samething. Some will evade the restrictions, but that number is imited. It is to be hoped that there will be less reason for seeking to depart. It will be found in due time that the Government of the United States has not been indifferent on this subject. WEALTH IN WINE. THE BIGGEST SALE OF PORT EVER KNOWN MADE BY PORTUGUESE MERCHANTS. Lonpon, April 30.—The biggest port wine sale ever known in England is arranged for next month. Twelve million bottles will be offered, and to get these bottles out of the auctioneer’s hands will cost over $5,000,000. Yet this amount of port does not represent more than seven months’ ordinary consump- tion of this wine in the United Kingdom. Messrs. Burnay, for whose account wine Is to be sold, are not wine merchants, but fnan- ciers in high standing in Portugal. The goy- ernment of that country desires themto buy a large amount of silver,in order to replenish the currency of Portugal, which is to-day mostly paper with a forced circula- & chéaper in "London than in any other market buthasto be paid for in gold. To send gold Outof the country was exactly what the Portuguese Government was trying to avoid. this dilemma Messrs. Burney devised a brilliant financial, commer- cial and political operation. ' They engaged an experienced wine buyer in London, who visited ‘Portugal quietly and bought more than half the visible supply fromthe port wine growers, his purchases including all the wine of quality that wasto be had. The fesult of hislabor pro- duced the astonishing €etal of 17,400 pipes, an amount of wine in one: purchase never be- fore known in the histery of the wine trade of the world. Ten thousand pipes of Bur- nay’s speculation hav@ already arrived at the London docks. Each pipe holds 116 gal- lons and each gallon issupposed to fill six bottles. . Naturally the sale of s© much port at one time will send down thé price, but this de- preciation is. not expected to be excessive, as cleaning the market fm Portugal of all but second qualities will stiffen prices there. So far the net resultis that the Portuguese winegrowers have moved their stocks and re- ceived the money fo# them. Just what profit Messrs. Burnay will derive is not yet clear, as the wiseacres of Mincing Lane afe now »predicting very low prices. Messrs. Burnay, however, havea good margin. Ifthey \sell this wine only at its cost they will still have a profit of 20 per cent on the ex@Range of paper for wine, wine for gold, gol@ for silver and silver again for paper. ‘ Charles Emory Smith, Minister to Russia, who sailed on the Teutgnte, says Russia is taking the keenest interést In,the proposed silver conference, but ig.disposed to hold back and await the action of other foreign powers. + WOMEN IN BERLIN, NO PHOTECTION ON THE EETS AT NIGHT—A LADY’S EXPERIENCE. BERLIN, April 30.—Berli@ dailies again give an lronical warning to @¢@spectable women that they may expect no protection from the police in case they are found under any cir- cumstances, in the street at might. On Wednesday night Mrs, ABna Fichte lost her husband inleaving the Frederick Wilhelm Stadtisches Theater inthe Chausee strasse. She started for a cab stand a block away, but had only taken a few steps when three young men, who had been drinking, began follow- ing her and addressing insulting remarks to her in a loud tone. One of them finally caught her around the waist and tried to draw her into a questionable cafe. She screamed for help and a policeman came up, She told the policeman that the young man had insulted and assaulted her. They retorted that she had made advances to them, and walked off without being hindered by the officer, | Despite the fact that she gave her hus- band’s name and his home and business address, the police then arrested her for ‘‘disturbing the peace at night,’’ and had her locked up at the station-house. It was li o’ clock before the hasband, summoned by a note from her, arrived at the station and se- cured ber release. NOT ALLIES, THE UNITED STATES AND THE ARGENTINE RE- PUBLIC, BUENOS AYRES, April 30.—A member of the Government hag given &@ ce that no proposal has beeR or is likely to be made for an alliance between th® ADA—DOMINION AFFAIRS, OTTAWA, Ontario, April 30.—Sir John Thompson introduced his redistribution bill yesterday. His chief changes are giving two new members to Montreal and one to Hochela, taking from St. John County, New Brunswick, and dividing Marquette, Mant- toba, into Marquette and McDonald, naming the latter after the late premier. In Quebec severa! changes have been made to improve conservative prospects. The whole result will be to decrease the number of members by three from 315 to 312. The by-election to the Ontario Legislative Assembly to filla vacancy in the representa- tion of Toronto, took place yesterday. There were four candidates, two of them represent- ing labor and annexation. N. G. Bigelow, liberal, was elected by a very large majority. The votes polled by the labor and annexXa- ationist candidates were insignificant. PRIESTS OF THEIR OWN RACE. MONTREAL, April 30.—Bishop Racine of Shebrooke, Quebec, has addressed a letter to the Cardinal Prefect of the Propaganda call- ing attention to the importance of having the French Canadian group inthe United States ministered to by priests of their own race. The reason for thisisthe attachment of the French Canadian to the associations of his early years andthe danger for his faith by his separation from them. MEXIUOAN AFFAIRS, CONCESSIONS FOR RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION AND BANKING—FREIGHT RATES REDUCED. City oF Mexico, April 80.—The concession to A. K. Owen for the construction of a rail- road from Topolobampo (Sinaloa) to Presidio del Morte (Chihuhua) has passed its second reading in the House of Representatives. This railroad is intended to connect with the Tucson & Arizona line. The fellowing concessions passed also their second reading: To Sebastian Camache, for a railway from Culiacan (Sinaloa) to meet the Mexican Central; to Samuel Lederer for the establishment of a bank of deposit and circu- lation at the city of Oaxaca; to Mr, Jesus Gonzales for a railroad from this city to the capital of the State of Taxcala. The railroads to the North have cut down their freight rates to meet the competition of the steamship line from Mobile to Tampico. The reduction in rates is equivalent to 38% per cente~ The executive has declared of no effect the contract with Mr. Jaime Ferrer for the <pores of a mine in the Second Dis- trict of the State of Jalisco. AFRICAN EXPLORERS, SCHWEINITZ GOES OUT TO VICTORIA NYANZA— JOHNSTON'S PERIL. BERLIN, April 80.—Count Von Schweinitz has been appointed to and has accepted the com- mand of the German expedition of 6,600 men for Victorla Nyanza. He takes the place of Herr Oscar Borchert, who is seriously ill and unable to proceed, This expedition carries out the sections of the steamer Herman Von Wiss- man and material and other means for the construction of docks and roads on the shore of the lake. It is all ready to start and its departure cannot longer be delayed. JOHNSTOWN ’S PERIL. 20.—The position of S&S. 8.

Lonpon, April 80.—The May Day demon stration isthe absorbing topicof the hour. The eight hour agitators have taken advan- tage of their unusual conspicuousness to pro- mote their cause in public opinionand the result is that should to-morrow bea pleasant day England will witness the most gigantic labor celebration of the last ten years. George Shipton, Secretary of the London Trades Council, with headquarters at No. 31 White Friars street, received your cor- respondent this morning and explained to him the prospects forthe day. The London Trades’ Council represents a mem- bership of about 800,000, and Mr, Shipton has been organizing eight hour, or similar demonstrations for the last twenty-five years, so his words may be regarded as authoritative. Mr. Shipton said: ‘*We have reports from all parts of Eng- land that the workingmen have prepared for meetings and processions on a scale hereto- fore unequalled, Probably six hundred or seven hundred thousand men will bein the feld, ifthe day is pleasant. The demonstra- tion will be perfectly orderly. **In London probably 50,000 men with their wives and their children will be at the meet- ing in Hyde Park. Speeches will be made by the best labor orators. The invitations were extended tothe German trades, the Belgian trades unions and the Social Democrat Cen- tral Committee to send delegates and speak- ers to address foreign workingmen in their own language, but for political reasons they have been unabie to join us.’’ If it rains to-morrow the London demon- stration will be a flasco. Despite all prom- ises of a quiet day, however, preparations for riots have not been omitted by the police. Several companies of policemen will be held ready for call in the immediate vicinity of Hyde Park and the park force has been quad- rupled, The Socialists here say that this will be the fast quiet May Day that Loridon will see, as the prapaganda isspreading rapidly and in another year Lofdon workingmen will de- mand instead of protesting. Even the Reac- tionary Tories acknowledge that the threat is well founded. The new extradition law of Switzerlana is the principal cause of the newly aroused ap- prehension about the Anarchists. Zurich has long been the miost popular place of refuge for fugitive Anurchists and Nihilists. To the ‘Botany Bay of Politics,’’ as Prince Bismarck once called the city, the foreign colony have flocked for twenty years almost des peradoes suspected of plot- ting against the Czar, the German sovereign and statesmen, and the ruling powers of Spainand Italy. Recently the city colony of dynamitards has been almost deubled by desperate characters who plotted or have executed the outrages in Italy, France aud Spain. This nestof incendiaries and hairbrained plotters must now be moved to Londonor New York,as the new extradition law removes all protection from political criminals, and will allow the Czar or Emperor to reach into the little republic and carry off to justice almost every desperate character. Mostof the fugitives are too poor to get as far as the United States and therefore will be obliged to settle in London, Ever since the enforce- ment of the extradition law in Switzerland, England has been protesting against the coming avalanche ofcut-throats. So far this year the returns of the Board of Trade show the influx of absolutely ignorant and penni- less emigrants has increased steadily and it is estimated that no fewer than ten thousand criminal or semi-criminal foreigners from the lowest political and so- cial classes on the continent have been piant- ed in the hot- bed of anarchy, to be trained by the desperate agitators already beginning to arrive from Swiss cities. ‘*The Government cannot stop this perilous movement with paper,’’ says the Evening Post, ‘‘Drastic measures are required at once, The time is over ripe for stern action. The Government will be interrogated this week in the house of Commons as to its plan of action, in view of the new danger threat- ened by the enforcement ofthe Swiss extra- dition law.’’ Up to midnight the telegrams received from the Continent indicate that in Germany and Austria-Hungary, as in England, the May Day celebration will partake of the character of a popular fete, and the duty of the police will be of a passive nature, On the other hand, in France, Italy, Spain and Belgium the authorities are making preparations as if to suppress a revolution, NO PARADES IN BERLIN, NO TROUBLE LOOKED FOR IN GERMANY, BUT THE AUTHORITIES ARE READY. BERLIN, April 30.—The latest reports from all the industrial centers’ of Germany show that there is every prospect for a peaceful May Day. The au- thorities, however, have taken every possible precaution to nip, in the bud any attempt to create disturbances. There will be no open display of force, but police will be centered at every important point, ready toact upon the first indication of dis- order. No public parades will be permitted in Berlin. Demonstrations everywhere have been ar- ranged totake a festive character. Enor- mous excursions to the country will be made from every large town. The fetes in Berlin will be prolonged to early Monday morning. They include concerts, chorus singing and fireworks. The Socialists have engaged sixty beer- houses at which the landlords have under- taken to engage only Socialist waiters, The leading Socialists absolutely oppose any il- legal action. They declare that if the Anarch- ists attempt to create disorder the Socialists will be the first to deliver them to the police. Herr Liebknecht in an interview says that ifthere are any disturbances they will be entirely due to provocation. The So- Ccialists, he says, do aot intend to gratify their enemies by mer of violence. **Marselliaise’’ which is applicable to May Day. It will be sung atalltheir meetings. Only at Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Lubeck will processions be allowed. At Hamburg the procession will include 15,000 men. The Socialists declare that the arrests of Anarch- ists in Berlin during the week were simply police farces. In a majority of the cases where genuine arrests were made the men were soon released for want of eyi- dence. Since the explosion in Paris the reg- ulations regarding the entry into the Berlin Schloss show increased stringency. Hence- forth nobody will be admitted without & spe- cial pass. Even then they will bé ‘accom. panied to their destination by a soldier. As the day falls on Sunday large crowds will turn out to celebrate but no serious trouble is anticipated. The Socialists know that any” disturbance of the peace will hurt their cause and bring about restrictive measures. The police, on the other hand, having profited by the experience of the February riots, will be ready to quell any disturbance at its very commencement. The localities where big meetings will be held are the Tivol! Brewery on the Krenzeberg, the Bock Brewery on the Tempelhoferberg, and the Neue Welton, These three establishments are in the south- ern part of the city and are capable of holding several thousand people each, In the East Slips Brewery, Friedrichhain, where the riots started Feb. 24, the ‘‘Elysium’’ and the **Victoria Park’’ will be crowded with other thousands. Other great meeting places designated are Wedding Park, on the‘ Jager- haus’’ in the North, and the ‘‘Brocken’’ in Northwest Berlin. Allthese places are beer parks and in spite ofall precautions, plente- ous libations may lead to more or less serious trouble. In Lubeck the petition of the work- ingmen for permission to parade has been granted by the city authorities. The Leipsic societies will celebrate the day at Stotteritz, asuburb of Leipsic. They had planned a procession, but the Leipsic author- ities have forbidden it. The Erfurt police have forbidden the procession and the un- folding of red flags in public places, The Nurembourg Socialists will move in proces- sion from the hall place to the ‘‘Shoemakers’ Celiar,’’ where the ceremonies are to take place, The Prussian authorities are determined to prohibit public processions and the display of red fagsand will try to disperse any such processions by force. Last night the police made a descent upon @ place where they learned the Socialists had set upa plant for printing papers containing articles of a seditious and strongly inflamma- tory character. The officers surrounded the building and pounced upon the men engaged in preparing the publications before a chance was given for analarm,. The raiders seized a quantity of type anda number of manuscripts of articles which had been written for publication in a special issue on May Day of an organ of the Socialist party. The Emperor’s visit to Baron Stumm has given umbrage to the workingmen. He harangued Baron Stumm’s workmen and bestowed the highest eulogies upon the fac- tories and the regulations for the workmen. He declared that they were models that Germany ought toimitate. The speech was coldly received, as Baron Stumm’s arbitrary treatment of his em- ployes and bis pitiless discharge of any man suspected of «socialistic views is notorious and has gained for him the sobriquet of ‘*King Stumm.’’ The grand banquet that he gave the Emperor is the talk of the nhews- papers. it cost over 20,00 marks. AMONG THE BELGIANS. aie NO TROUBLE IS LOOKED FOR AT BRUSSELS AND OTHER PUPULOUS CENTERS. BRUSSELS, April 30.—Very general prepara- tions have been made throughout Belgium for the celebration of May Day. Reports from the various industrial centers of the country indicate that the labor organizations will de- vote the day to meetings, parades, etc. These, it is believed, will be of an entirely peaceful nature. In most places no special measures have been taken by the police. The authorities are counting upon the usual quiet and good sense of the workingmen. Mr. Louts Bertrond, the leader of the Bel- gian Socialist party, in an interview with a press representative said: ‘*The celebration of May Day this year in Belgium will have much importance, Asa result of the action of the Labor Congress held some weeks ago, the character of the demonstration will be two-fold. In the first place, it will have an international character and its object will be to demand the estab- lishment ofa normal day oflabor. Secondly, in view of the present political condition of our country, the demonstration will at the same time have as an object to show tothe powers that be that the people more than ever demand universal suffrage. Meetings, conferences, etc., have been organized by the hundred in the industrial cities and cen- ters of the country; vast numbers of mani- festos and propagandist pamphkets have been published in both languages and have been widely distributed. ‘‘Itis noteworthy that the Typographical Union, which never heretofore participated in May Day celebrations, has decided this year to take part officially. The great federa- tion of mutual benefit societies in Brussels, which count an enormous membership, have likewise décided to join in the celebration. ‘*‘it is unnecessary to say that the demon- stration will be pacific. The laboring classes have learned how much they have gained by remaining calm, atthe sametime being firm and energetic, Itisthis that brought about the revision of the constitution, as Parlia- ment did not daretoresistthem, By their firmness they will force upon the country universal suffrage. It will be vastly better, from a conservative point of view, that uni- versal suffrage should be freely granted to- day than it should be seized to-morrow after further crises.’’ It is possible that the authorities may not permit a demonstration at Liege, where in 1886 the signal for disorder was given. In any event, the Mayor of Liege will have the entire force of military under arms to-morrow. The principal demon- stration will take place at La Louviere, At the place Des Martyrs at La Louviere, as also on the plain of Ten Bosche, at Brussels, the Labor party bas erected large stands for speakers, as is done on similar occasions in England. At least 850,000 people in the entire country will take part, made up of all classes of laboring peo- ple, while in previous years the 120,000 miners have been almost the only ones to celebrate the day. PISCITELLI’S TOMB. ANARCHISTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO VIEW THE MARTYR’S GRAVE. Rome, April 30.—The authorities have pro- hibited the Anarchists from carrying out their intention of making a demonstration to-morrow at the grave uf Piscitelll, one of their number, who was killed during the con- flict between rioters and military last May Day. Orders have been given to close the cemetery in which Piscitelli was buried, until Tuesday. Great excitement was caused this morn- ing by the announcement thatan attempt had been made after | cafe Rossini at Forll, miles southeast of Bologne.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE MOTHER OF A PREF ‘ECT OF POLICE. | BEeRNe, April 8.—Switzerland has been comparatively free from dynamite outrages, due, perhaps, not to any particular liking for the Government of the country, but to the fact that many exiled Anarchists and Socialists find a refuge within the borders of the country. The authorities in the various industrial centers have been taking measures to prevent any disturbances on May Day, which will be observed as a holiday by all the workingmen of the coun- try. Among those who have been conspicuously active in forming regulations for the guidance of the police on that day is the Prefect of Police at Lausanne. Many factory hands find em- ployment in that city and of course the agi- tators have sought to inoculate them with the poison ofanarchy or socialism It wag thought that the workingmen would attempt to make some sort of an illegal demonstra- tion, though it was scarcely believed there would be any rioting and the prefect of police determined that every preparation should be made to suppress any violations of the law by the celebrants of the labor holt- day. By his action he incurred the enmity of the Anarchists, who, with their usual cowardly instincts, determined to infict vicarious punishment upon him, The victim’ selected was the prefect’s mother. In some mannera dynamite bomb was placed in her house, it evidently being thought that she would be killed and thus the desire for revenge on her son would be satisfied. The bomb exploded, fortunately without harming any of the occupants of the house, but the building was very badly damaged, The whole lower part of it was wrecked. Three French and Italian Anarch- ists have been arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrators of the outrage. WILD RUMORS IN CUBA. REVOLUTIONISTS SAID TO HAVE COMBINED WITH THE ANARCHISTS.

MEETING CALLED TO DISCUSS MAY DAT POSSIBILITIES. Paris, April 20.—At a Cabinet meeting in Paris to-day, convened especially to discuss the May Day situation, it was decided that it would be highly danger to relax the repres- sive measures already taken in the slightest degree, The Minister of Justice has instructed pub- lic prosecutors and examining magistrates to remain in their offices throughout the day to-morrow. Prefect of Police Loze to-day called together the police commissaries to fre- ceive final orders as to how to deal with the demonstrations in the outlying dis- tricts of Paris. No disorderly bands of peo- ple will be allowed to assembie or to pene- trate to the city. In an interview to-day M. Allemane, whos to preside at the principal Socialist meeting, to be held in the Salle Favie, said that the meeting would be conducted in a more or- derly manner than in past years. The Government is more apprehensive of trouble in the industrial centers of the coun- try, and has requested the leading many- facturers to usetheirinfluenceto calm the workmen and to assist the detectives in pick- ing out men of notorious Anarchist proclivi- ties. , Bomb explosions were reported to-night from Forli, Solarolo and Voghera.

ap 1, 1899, — St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, = SHOT FOR A WOMAN Edmund Andrews Kills an Enemy With | a Derringer. ; THE DEAD MAN’S WIFE THE CAUSE OF THE MURDER. A Saturday Night Tragedy in an Olive Street Livery Stable-The Penalty Sherman Williamson Paid for Resent- ing Attentions to His Wife—A Permit From the Mayor Arms the Killer. At 8:45 o’clock last night Edward 7, an- Grews shot and killed Sherman Williamson in the harness-room of Fisher’s livery stable at 8047 Olive street. Both men were employes of the stable, An- drews serving in the capacity of night watchman and keeper of barness, William- son as a hostler. The cause of the tragedy was the jealousy existing between the men because of the friendship between Andrews and Willlamson’s wife. According to the story told by Andrews and corroborated by the only eye- wit- ness to the tragedy, the murdered man’s wife, Williamson and Andrews quar- reled over the opening of the door ofthe harness-room. Andrews was sitting in the. harness-room, and Mrs. William- son came into the stable to see her husband. As soon as she did Williamson closed the door leading into the harness- room, tAndrews at once got up and it. Williamson again drew and a second time Andrews opened it, Then Williamson rushed in angrily and grappled with his annoyer, DREW A REVOLVER. Andrews drew a revolver vest-pocket and fired once into his assallant’s body. The bullet pierced Williamson’s heart and he felltothe floor in his death agony. The murderer walked coolly from the room and went into the office, laid his revolver on the table and telephoned for the police. Officers Truin, Richardson and Johnson arrived quickly on the scene. The murderer was placed under arrest and his victim put into an ambu- lance, but he died before the Dispensary was reached. His body was removed tothe morgue. Andrews, the from his murderer, was seen in his cell at the Fitth District Station about an hour after the shooting. His appearance did not tally at all with his given occupation as stable employe, He was dressed ina fine Prince Albert suit of excellent’ texture and wore a large imitation diamond stud in his immacu- late shirt front: His features would be re- fined and attractive were it not for a deep blue scar across the bridge of his nose, which imparts a sinister expression to his countenance. Inexplainingthe murder he made out a very clever case of justifiable homicide. THE MURDERER’S STATEMENT. knows l did not him,*’ he said, drove me to it. I have befriended the man in every way but he abused and cursed meinevery way and threatened my life repeatediy. He went so far as to drive me to this,’’ said he, taking his purse from his pocket and extracting a permit to carry concealed weapons issued over the Mayor’s signature on April 26. ‘‘Il got that permit on a letter of reconimendation from Mr. Fisher, who Knew how my life wasin danger. To-night’strouble began just after I went on watch at _6o0’clock. I went out intoa stall to geta tub to elgan the harness when Williamson rushed in and brandishing a _ hatchet, said: ‘You —— —l’"ll kill you now.’ I held up the empty tub to_ defend myself and drew my pistol, but did not shoot as Jim Dorsey, one of the drivers, took Williamson away. Shortly after whenlI left the stall he rushed after me with a shovel, but 1 got into the harness-room and = shut the door in his face. ‘i’il kill you yet,’ he shouted. ‘It may take me weeks and months but l’il kill youinthe end.’ When he went away I opened the _ Q4door, for the air in the harness room is stifling. Then his wife came into the stable and he rushed up and closed the door. When I opened it heagain closedit, withan angry exclamation, and as I opened it he rushed in abd grabbed me by the throat.’’ DESCRIBING THE FIGHT. **He was hurling me over against the stove when I drew the revolver from my vest pocket and shot him once. When he fellI walked out to the office and sent for the police. laskedthemto let me change my clothes, which they did. I am awfully sorry thisthing has happened. it will hurt the stable Iam afraid and Mr. Fisher has always been my friend and protector. I wouldn’t careso much only my sister will hear of it and it will break heart.’’ At this point Andrews broke into tears and sobbed bitterly. **Was the openingand shutting of the door the only trouble between you?’’ he was was asked. **No,’’ he replied. ‘‘a few nights ago a gold-headed umbrelia belonging to Mr. Fischer was stolen trom one of the carriages. Williamson and myself were the oniy men in the stable when it was taken, and I told Mr. Fischer he had- taken it. Mr. Fischer went to his housethis morning and recovered the stolen property. That is what started him picking on me to-night. ’’ ‘*‘Have you known Williamson and his wife long?’’ he was asked. ‘‘For something overa year,’’ he replied, **] met them in Topeka, Kan.’’ ‘*Was there anything between you and Williiamson’s wife that caused the hard feel- ings between you?’’ **Now, [don’t care todiscuss that,’’ he said, becoming very agitated. ‘‘There is no use dragging the women into this, and that had nothing to do with to-night’s trouble.’’ Farther than that he wou!ld say nothing, but his manner gave aclew which developed the real cause of the tragedy. The officers who mace the arrest said they had learned Williamson had seen his wife and Andrews riding together on the street cars yesterday, and that was the whole cause of the trouble. STORY OF AN INJURED HUSBAND, When Andrews was confronted with the statement he denied it and said he had been = asleep all afternoon. He then admitted that he had boarded with Williamson and his wife in ‘lopeka, and af- terwards at different times in Sr. Louis. **When hecameto st. Louts he was out of I boarded with him keep up the house. We were living together at 423 South Jeffer- 600 avenue up toa few weeksago.

Wiliiamson’s wife went to work yesterday at Wilburn’s boarding-house, 8246 Olive street, but after the murder was committed she went to spend the night with some lady friends at 8242 Olise street, the house where Andrews lived. A call atthe latter house was answered by one of the lady boarders. When asked about the shooting, she replied: ‘‘She has herself to blame.

NO DANGER APPREHENDED. The High Water inthe South Not Likely to Cause Damage. NEw ORLEANS, April 30.--As winter passed into spring andthe early spring wore away with unusually low waterin the Mississipp! River and its several great tributaries, the engineers and people began to believe that 1892 would pass without any flood Within the last three constancy, the Ohio and Missouri rivers, in Alabama and Mississippi indirectly affect- ed the Ohio through the Cumberland, Ten- nessee and Kentucky rivers. The uncertain weather in the Ohio Valley was a source of great danger. The guage at St. Louis showed that the Missouri was very full and how long it would take that stream to empty its surplus water into the Missis- sippi was a matter ofspeculation. It was feared that the Ohio would continue high, in which event the combined waters ofthe Ohio and Missouri would have swept down past Cairo to the Gulf, probably, creat- ing an unparalleled fiood in this section. It turned out, however, that the Missouri and Onio soon exhausted themselves, and both are now falling fast, with iittle pros- pect of future rises of any moment, The falling auge at Cairo shows that the crest of the flood wave has passed that point, and the fact that the river is now rising at Memphis with much less rapidity than it was a few days ago shows that the fibod wave is now coming down into the leveed section of the valley. Below Memphis the river is rising everywhere, but so far it is no- where within a foot of last year’s mark and the levees are able, without ordinary atten- tion, to stand about two feet more than they did last year, provided they are not weak- ened »y continued rains. The doubtful weather now prevalent below Vicksburg is thus a source of some anxiety but no general alarm Is felt, The Federal an State Engineers have made ee | prepara- tion for the worst, rother as a matter of dis- cipline than as a necessity. Reports from all sections show that. authorities and citizens are onthe watch and Government quarter boats are flying up and down the l evee line to be at hand should they be need- ed, Ex-City Engineer Harrod, chief engineer of the local Levee Board and a member of the Mississipp! River Com- mission, to-day expressed the belief that the prtsent rise in the lower Mississippi would soon change Into a fall and that it 1s too late in the season to look for any serious future rises in the northern tribu- tarles. WILLIAM CALLAHAN DYING. Charles Kratzer’s Victim Not Expected to Live Until To-Night. William Callahan, the young stockman who was shot by Charles A. Kratzer, a barber, last Friday at 3810 North Broadway, is dying in the City Hospital and is not expected to live until night, Callahan was shot in the left side of the abdomen, the bullet lodging in the back on the right side. He was taken to his home after the shooting, and eight hours later was removed to the City Hospital. Peritonitis set in Friday afternoon and the physician decided to make an attempt to save his life by performing laparotomy. Fearing he would die under the influence of anasthetics, the physicians performed the operation while Callahan was in full posses. sion of his senses. Four attendants held him while the acting physician made the incisions. It was found the bullet had punctured the intestinesin fifteen dif- ferent places. They were stitched, the cavity was cleaned and the opening closed, Calla- han sank very low during the operation and is not expected torecover. Kratzer, his as- sailant, is in jallawaiting the result of the injuries. LIVES IN DANGER. Big Blaze in an Entertainment Hall at Minneapolis.

Paris, Tex., April 30.—A case of probable infanticide has just come to light in this county. One day this week an old negro man, while walking near a lot, discovered the partially exposed remains of an infant that seemed to have been dead some time. He called another negro to look at what had been discovered by him. Appearances indicated that the infant had been laid awayin avery shallow grave and the dogs had scratched away the dirt, so that the body could be easily seen.- They soon began to tell about it and to whisper their suspicion of foul play. The nextday an old man, who had been living alone with his daughter, left the country for parts unknown, Suspicion imme- diately fastened on these two as the guilty pair, if any crime had been committed, and itis generally believed that there was. The girl was known to have been ina delicate condition and her father was suspected as being the cause. It was also be- lieved that she gave birth to a child a short time ago and that the child was secretly dis- posed of. The case will be investigated. A FATAL ROW.

PARIS, Tex., April 30.—Justice Harris was called on to-day to go out six miles southwest of Brookston and hoid an inquest over the body of a dead infant. He found on arriving there that the child was probably not overa day old at the time it died. The body was slightly decomposed and was rudely dressed in coarse clothing. It had been buried ina thicket and was inclosed ina rough pine box. The grave was not over a footanda half deep, andthe heavy rains had washed the dirt and exposed the body to plain view. Death was evidently the result of vio- lence, as the skull was crushed, as if it had been struck a heavy blow with a hard instrument. Investigation developed facts that threw some light on the mystery and led to the arrest of the supposed guilty parties... About ten days ago a negro girl. hamed Ranna Miles, gave birth to a child. She was un- married, and was at the time living in the house with her sister and brother-in-law, John Miles, It is said that one night about the tme the child was born the voice of an infant crying was heard inthe room occupied by Ranna, and next morning an infant’s dead body was found lying onthe floor. It was carried off and buried secretly, but suspicion of foul play was s00n = aroused. The girl’s condition was known to the neighbors and the sudden disappearance of the child caused thém to think violence had been used to de- stroy traces of her immoral condition. The rland her brother-in-law, who is said to ave been the father of the murdered child, were landed in jail here to-night. ‘The case Against them is a strong one.

CHIEF PONTIAC’S LEGEND OF THE MOUND WHICH GAVE S&T. LOUIS ITS NICKNAME. Written for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. There are few, ifany, of the people of St. Louis now living who remember the immense mound that once existed on the north side of the beautiful city. It had a large base and and rose in a concical form and with almost mathematical regularity to its summit, grad- ually lessening in circumference with its in- creasing height. It towered high above the city and many of its spiral steeples. Its lofty summit commanded a view far in the dis- tance of the surrounding country. It wasa thing of wonder in the early days— @ mighty landmark in the years of the primi- tive civilization. But this old mound was not a child of nature—owed not its existence to Volcanic causes. It was the work of man, It ~ wasthere when the first white European fe — os . who ha paddled upon the great ‘‘Father of Waters.’’ The whole country was then inhabited by the Indians, and the magnitude ofthe work and the appliances of labor so necessary to com- plete it precluded any idea that it could have been reared by them. It wasarelic of ages long past and long lost. It has been a wonder andawmystery to the historian; tradition alone, in its solution of marvels, tells why and howthe mighty mound was raised. Many parts of the old mound were early dug into, for it yielded good clay with which to make bricks, and the layers of earth showed the different epochs of its life, soto speak. It had resisted the elements and Time himself, but man is more destructive than either, more potent in his powers in this direction, as his wonderful engineering feats prove. From this old mound St. Louis is called the **Mound City.’’ s According to the treaty of 1763, France ceded to England all the country east of the Mississippi River, and in a few years after that date the last mentioned people took for- mal possession ofthe region. M. st. Ange de Belirive was the last French commandant at Fort de Chartres, andon his delivery of it into English hands he went to the small town of St. Louis, which.was founded in 1764 by M. Laclede Ligueste, and became chief officer of that thriving colony. The English people spread rapidly over the Illinois country, and among the rest a trader named Williamson. He had settled in the village of Cahokia and was carrying ona thriving trade in skins and furs, which heob- tained from the Indians at a nominal value. Forthem heexchanged blankets, ammuni- tion, guns, trinkets and whisky. For this latter article there was a great demand and it was truly the ‘‘Philosopher’s Stone’’ to the sordid trader. There had been a feudal antipathy between the French and English, which appears to exist in allcountries where they are located; and the inhabitants of those respective king. doms who settled in America formed no ex- ception tothis general rule. On the east of the Mississippi River, not farfrom St. Louis, there were several villages which had been founded at an early period by the French, a large portion of whose inhabitants removed to the new settlement of Sst. Louis the moment it became known that their old homes were under the British Government. All of the inhabitants who remained viewed the English as trespassers on the soil which they had first occupied, and invaders of priv- jleges which belonged of right exciusively to them. PONTIAC’S TREATY. | On the other hand, the English, who are ever industrious, though a proud and selfish people, viewed with envy the manifest pref- erence which the savages evinced for the gay and happy Creoles, and never mingling with them except when constrained by mecessity and governed by policy. William- son, the English trader who was residing at Cahokia, had not only all the prejudices of is race toward the French, but that had een increased by several insults and threats on the part of the French settlers of the place when they learned of his dastardly “conduct towards Pierre Linot, of whom they were excessively fond. M. Linot wasanephew of M. ‘St. Ange de Bellrive, and on the latter’s removal to St. Louis he induced him toac- company him, fearing some evil would be- tide from the machinations of so malignanta being as Williamson. Williamson, some time before, had, when the boy was at his mercy, slapped his face violently. It was about this time that Pontiac, the reat Ohief of the Ottawas, according tothe ne of policy he had marked out, made his treaty with the English, having given up ail hopesthen, and perhaps forever, of being to resist the advance of whites or restoring the greatness his own people. He appears, from that period, to have lived a kindof roving life, taking his famfly with him on his wanderings. We see him atone time fishing upon the lakes and a few months afterward paddling hiscanoe far down the Mississippi. Sometimes he would visit the different tribes, upon which occasion he was always received with distinction; and to him was assigned the seat ef honor at the festive ard. The English constantly watched his move- ments witha jealous eye, for they felt that necessity and not friendship had caused Pon- tiac to ‘‘bury the hatchet’’ and cali his war- riors from.the warpath. Whenever a tribe, incited by some gross injustice on the part of the English inhabitants, retallated with all the horrors of their peculiar warfare, it was declared that Pontiac had instigated the re- bellion. He was looked upon as an arch de- mon, ready atany time to do the most in- fernal acts, if opportunity served him. In Jact, the conjecture as to thelast assertion was correct, for never a heart palpitated witha more implacable hatred toward the Inglish than that which beat in the bosom of ontiac, the great chief of the Ottawas. PONTIAC A WEDDING GUEST. In the year 1769, Pontiac determined to visit is friend, M. St. Ange de Bellrive, who com- manded at St. Louis. He was particularly anxiousto go, asit was the express wish of his yound friend, Pierre Linott, the com- mandant’s nephew, who was to be married, and who had sent the Indian a most pressing invitation tothe wedding. On this occasion Pontiac threw off the attire of a savage war- rior, which he usually wore, and dressed himself in afull suit of handsome uniform, which had been given him many years before by the gallant but unfortunate Marquis Mont- calm, who fell on the ‘‘Plains of Abraham, é’ When he arrived at St. Louis Pontiac was warmly received by M. St. Ange de Bellrive, and became the observed of all observers. After attending the marriage of his friend, Pierre Linot, he was feted on several occa- sions, and all of the richest inhabitants vied with each other who would do the noted chief the greatest honor. M. St. Ange de Bellrive saw, notwithstanding his friend accepted and received the honors heaped upon him, ‘\ that there was a settled gioom upon the soul of the savage, and that the brilliant light of his restless eye had waned in its luster. Hope was extinguished in his heart, and he no more tried to avert the evident destiny of the red man, orresist the current of civilization whose waters were destruction to his race. Hie now commenced to participate in a vice which under more fortunate stars he had de- Bpised, and now drank deeply of the Lethean distilment, which had always been the bane of his people and one of the fruitful sources of their premature decay and moral degra- dation. It wasanight in April, andas M. St. Ange de Belirive, who had been detained late on some public business, came near his resi- ‘dence he heard the voice of Pontiac chanting some mournful song in his own melancholy language. M. St. Ange de Bellrive stood some moments listening to the strains, and, hav- ing a slight knowledge of the Indian tongue, goon discovered that he was singing his ex- sloits in a kind of wild, lyrical poetry. He hen opened the door of the apartment, but the mind of Pontiac was still fixed on his deeds that were past, and his spirit hovered over the bloody drama in which he had played a leading part, witha strange fascination. Then he would speak as if ad- the shades of the departed warriors trod with him on the War path, and had long closed their eart career, He spoke tothem as if they had ‘‘burst their cerements,’’ and hovered around him on the wings of the air, his worn and torn military coat looking still more worn and tattered from the careless manneér it hung upon him, and when M. St. Ange de Bellrive called to him in a loud voice, he appeared to awaken as if from a dream. ‘*-What does the great Ottawa Chief sing?’’ said the French Commandant, ‘*He sings the deeds he has done,’’ replied Pontiac, in a proud tone, **when the Great Spirit smiled on his days and frowned on his enemies. Bellrive, Pontiac will soon go to the nappy hunting-grounds; for, but now the companions of his youth stood before his eyes as they looked in life, and waved their hands with a smiletothe land where the warrior irits go.’’ a ‘You will live a long time yet to feast with our friends, Pontiac; you are et d grieving fo-night,”’ said M. St. Ange de Bellrive. **Pontiac knows when the Manito calls,’’ IN SOCIETY A Perfect Complexion Is Almost a Necessity.

LEGEND OF THE MOUND, ‘*‘Tell me,’’ said St. Ange, who sought an opportunity to divert the mind of the chieftain from his gloomy présentiments, ‘‘why the Great spirit lovesthe Big Mound. Why do the red men look upon it with so much rever- ence?’’ ‘‘Bury me onthe Big Mound, and now liis- ten why the Great Spirit loves it,’’ said Pontiac, and he commenced to relate the legend of the Big Mound, and the ortgin of the Ants, as it had come down through the geons to the various tribes: ‘¢*The Great Spirit had children long before the red men lived. His first children never trod the war- path. They never wielded the hatchet or the tommahawk against each other. The war-whoop never sounded from their lHps. Their tongue had no fork. The Great Spirit made them like to himself—good, and loving each other. They dug the earth, fisned inthe rivers, and sang praises to the Great Spirit. ‘‘Intime they increasedin numbers and built their lodges thick along the banks -.of the ‘Meate-chi-cippli’ (Mississippi) and the ‘Peka-to-no-ni’ (Missourl) and the other great rivers. Their lodges were not like those ofthe red men, nor evenlike those of the pale faces—the French and the English. They overtopped the highest trees and looked bright and rich as the sun’s lightin August. ‘‘Then the Great Spirit looked upon his children witha smile, and thought that his work was a good work; forthey lived in peace and were happy. ‘*There were no wars to lessen the number of these people, and they became in thelr greatness as the leaves of the forest. They continued to love each other, for the Great Spirit, that they might be lke himself, had made the first two from his own heart, so that the bad Manito could have no power over them. They loved the Great Spirit, and built the biggest lodges for the prophets who spoke to him. At length a mighty thought came into their minds. They thought they would build of stone, sothat it would not wear, a tall building, sotallthat in time it would reach the clouds and stars, so that the prophets might be nearer to the Great Spirit, and might more readily speak to him of the love which his children bore him, ‘*In different parts of the country, in their chief cities, the buildings were commenced, and year after yearthey grew higher, but as time rolled on, and those who had com- menced the work died, and their children and grandchildren who had also worked on them had died, they saw that their great temples had not reached the clouds and that the parts first commenced had begun crumble, and that some of them, too, began to shakein the tempest, they Knew then that they could not bulld that way to get nearer the Great Spirit as they wished. So they determined to carry out their plans another way. By the advice of the prophets they began to build mounds by piling up earth. They put earth upon earth, and year after year they continued their work, and the mound grew very slowly, but they knew that the tempest could not lightning shiver it, nor nor the it with shake it, could time eat worked and worked, who never tired, TRANSFORMED INTO ANTS. ‘*‘When the fathers died worked on the mounds, and when they died their sons still worked on the mounds. ‘The mounds, after a hundred summers, were many times higher thanthe great trees that grew on the banks of the ‘Meate-chi-cippl.’ Then the prophets stood on thetopof the mound, and saw that the sun and stars were very far above, and they told the people that they must continue their work. ‘*Five hundred years had passed, and the Big Mound, where my French brother will lay Pontiac when he goes unseen as the air to the happy valley, had grown so bigh that when you stood upon the level graund its top seemed to touch the blue sky, and still the prophets said thatthey were not yet near enough to the Great spirit, and that they should still work on. So this industrious poae continued to build their mounds 1igher, but the Big Mound was higher than the others. **For another hundred years they added to their mounds,and then the Great Spirit looked with sorrow upon these, his first children. He knew he made thein too good. They had no wars to thin their numbers, and they so increased that the fruits of the earth could not supportthem, and they loved their father so, thatthey were trying foolishly to build up tothe stars. They loved to work; loved each other, and were happy but in a few yearsfrom thelr great num- bers, they must starve. ‘*The Great Spirit, tokeep suffering from his happy children, threw a shower of ashes from the clouds, and the people became changed to ants. The spirits of the indus- trious people ‘still live inthem, They still build their mounds; still work, work and never fight with each other. ‘**The Manito loves the Big Mound that was built by his first children and, De Bellrive,lay my body there. My white brother will speak no more to Pontiac to-night.’’ ™* & t ” . . od M, St. Ange then retired and the next morning Pontiac appeared cheerful and happy. He paida visit to the Commandant’s nephew and his young bride and about noon he declared his intention of going across the rottenness. So they river to Cahokia, where he understood that many of the Ilinois Indians had gathered. The French commandant and many of his other friends in St. Loults did all they could to dissuade Pontiac from his purpose, telling him the danger he incurred from a visit to the place where the trader Williamson lived, who controlled the business of the Village and had vowed a dozen times that #1005 OLIVE ST. ee A Splendid Wite Spring FREE WITH EACH BEDROOM SET . : An immense variety in newest pat- terns.

MURDER OF PONTIAC. When Pontiac, ridiculing the fears of his friends, crossed over to Cahokia, the moment he stepped onthe Illinois side he saw the trader, Willlamson, who glanced maliciously uponhim. Accompanying the trader was a degraded Indian of the Lilinois tribe, named John, who was so fond of whisky that he would have performed any act, made any sacrifice, to obtain a supply ofthe polsonous fiuid, Immediately after Pontiac and his warriors had passed the spot where Williamson stood the revengeful trader determined to carry into execution the vengence he had long carried in his heart. The degraded Indian, John, was the fitting tool for his purposes. He unfolded to the savage his desires, and by his persuasions and the promise of a Darrel of whisky, the Indian said he would under- take the bloody deed which Willlamson fre- guired—the murder of Pontiac. On the arrival of Pontiac at Cahokia, the principal inhabitants, who were gay, light- hearted Creoles, gave him a most cordial re- Ata late hour in the evening he went alone in the forest, again singing that mournful melody which M. St. Ange de Bellrive had heard him chant the previous night. It was his death song and proved his requiem, for,as the sound of his voice floated on the wings of the cool night air, the hatchet of the Indian, John, descended and clove the skull of Pon- tiac, and thus fell the great chief of all the Ottawas. Ina few moments the news of Pontiac’s death flew through the village as if by magic. Then the few followers of the murdered chief, in the frenzy of their passion, feil upon the Illinois Indians to avenge his taking off, but they were soon driven from the scene. The death of so renowned a chief was quickly bruited from tribe to tribe, and they descended upon the Illinois Indians in such numbers as nearly to extinguish that peopie, for Pontiac had always been looked upon by that nation, and by nearly all the savages, as aimost a demi-god. When it became Known in St. Louls that Pontiac had been killed, M. St. Ange de Bell- rive sent for his body, where he had it In- terred with all the honors of war. Since that event took place, almost a century and a quarter have passed; all who lived then have gone to their final resting place, yet the name of Pontalic Is not forgotten. No mark, no mausoleum, thatIam aware of, points out the spot where his bones le, but his grave was on the Big Mound, Louis St. Ange de Belirive, who at an ad- vanced dge became afterward, asI have re- lated, the first commandant of the province of Upper Louisiana, with headquarters in St. Louis, died here in 1774. He lived and died at the house of Mme, Chouteau, which was sit- uated on the block between Chestnut and Market, and Second and Main streets. Do not confound this house with the *‘Chouteau Mansion.’’ De Bellrive was buried in the Catholic burying-ground, but though mourned and honored in those primitive times, there was no marble with its appro- priate epitaph to mark his grave.

LONDON, April 21.—Within the very shadow of that splendid pile, that poem of stone, Westminster Abbey, and hidden within the deep stillness and _ seclusion of Dean’s Yard, where the notlse and tumult of the great weary city comes but in a muffled _ tone, stands the old-fashioned house in which the eloquent Canon of Westminster has lived for many years past... AsI passed within the door and up the wide stairease down which there poured a great flood oflight, I noticed with special interest that the walls were lined with heraldic shields, exact replicas of shields in the adjacent abbey, as the Archdeacon subsequently explained tome. The shield of Frederic of Barbarossa, in which the eagle differed from the present German eagle in having only one head instead of two, Archdeacon Farrar. specially attracted my attention. Dr. Farrar placed in my hands a portrait of himselfand Mr. Phillips Brooks sitting to- gether. ‘‘l intensely enjoyed my visit to America,’’ said he, ‘‘eyverybody is so wonder- fully kind there,.’’ I asked him if he had met any of the leading Roman Catholics, and if he had noticed with such men as Cardinal Gibbonsand Archbishop John Ireland how thoroughly American Cath- olicism was impregnated with the old spirit of Puritanism. The archdeacon was much interested. ‘‘I noticed,’’ he replied, ‘‘that in many respects they were singularly broad-minded. I received much kind- ness at their hands.’’ ‘‘Did you think sir, I queried, ‘‘that America suffers tn not having an established church?’’ ‘‘Well, yes,’’ was hisreply. ‘‘I think she loses in some respects. was amuch struck with the wonderful increase of the Episcopal Church there. She increases more rapidly than any other church, and unlike the Roman Church she does not derive her increase from immi- gration,’’ Dr. Farrar is evidently an artist at heart, and it was pleasant to note his enthusiasm as he took me from room to room and pointed out some of the beautiful pictures with which his walls are hung. ‘‘Some Amert- cans,’’ said he, ‘*knowing how | love their country, sent me those splendid autumn-tinted if ndscapes. What a blaze of glory! Artists here complain that they are impossible, but anyone who has seen an American forest in the fall knows they are but simple truth.’’ But time was hurrying On and so we sat down for what the Scotch would term ‘‘a g screed, Something turned the conversation upon try, andI putittothe archdeacon if he id not consider that in recent years the poets had done much, not only to influ- ence preachers, but absolute to revolu- tionize religious thought. ‘“‘Why lied Dr. Farrar, ‘*Tennyson ng have influenced me Browning has a ran secon¢ ‘Idylis Shakspeare. Tennyson's are men so thoroughly and it is interesting to see how men view matters theological! apart from a purely professional point of view. They go much furtherthan I do with regard to the ‘Larger Hope,’ which they havequite unvaryingly taught; but like my- self, “hey know not anything; they can but trust that good shall fall, at last, far off, at last to all,’ See how hopeful Browning always isand think of his effect on the theology of the last thirty years. How ringing with. splendid hope are those lines of his life in probation, and this earth no goal, but starting point of man! And then those deathless lines in Abt Vogler, ‘All we have willed, or hoped, or dreamed of good shallexist * * *® **There shall never be one lost good, The evilis null, is silence implying sound, On the earth the ‘broken arcs, in the heaven the perfect round.’ ’’ **] hardly like totell you,’’ continued Dr. Farrar, *‘all the good I hope and believe my book on ‘Eternal Hope’ has done, but I have been extraordinarily misunderstood and abused on this subject. And yet in the end even Dr. Pusey conceded all I wanted.’’ ‘*Dr. Farrar, may I ask you a personal question? How far are you affected by the ecclesiastical tradition of the grand oid abbey, and does not its very ecclesi- asticism war against your own tendency to lberality of thought? Do not. these ancient walls that have in the past re- echoed to such very different teach- ing, seem to hurl back vast re- proaches upon you?’’ Archdeacon Farrar broadly smiled as he replied, ‘‘As- suredly 1 am affected, but not in the way you imagine. The traditions of Westminster are allin favor of the truest Catholicity. Is it not the Temple of Silence and Reconciliation? Do not Mary and Elizabeth sleep there side Side, at rest and peace at last, fitful fever spent?’ Very recognize the great truth that the abbey, like most of our great cathedrals, is.a theology in stone. Its triple breadth and height and leigth symbolize the great Trin- ity, even the pillars deflect slightly to the right, as did our Lord’s head upon the cross. The double west door double nature, Think how used to seek shelter the noisy outside world to walk its aisles in con- templation. Thinkof all the mighty dead and how thronged its very air is with the ghosts ofthe highest and purest and best that earth hasever known. The influence of the poets upon the preacher is nowhere more perfectly realized than within the walls of our beloved abbey,.’’ **They dreamt not of a perishable héme who thus could build, : Be mine in hours of fear or groveling thought To seek a refuge here. Or throngh the aisles of Westminster to roam Where bubbies burst and folly’s dancing foam Melts if it cross the threshold. ’’ And the organ was still pealing on—**For He shall ’, reign forever and forever—Amen.

Riner of the United States Circuit Court for a temporary injunction to re- strain the small cattle owners from carrying onthe round-ups they have projected for May l2and15. ‘thesv round-ups are in Oppo- sition to the legaliy established round-ups of the Wyoming Stock Association.

JORDAN, MOTHER OF PRINCES, The Ancestress of Lady Victoria Mary Was an Actress of Renown. The rumors of the engagement of Princess Victoria Mary of Teck and Prince George of Wales revive interest in that young lady and her ancestry. Oddly enough, her descent is illegitimate on both sides ot the house. She is second cousin of the Prince one degree re- moved, being descended from the Duke of Clarence, a younger son of George lIlIlI., and Mrs, Jordan, a beautiful and famous actress of a hundred years ago. Mrs. Jordan’s real name was Bland. She was the daughter of an actress anda young Englishman of good birth whose family cast \ A) \ WN ~ ANN Mrs. Jordan, him off for his marriage. The daughter first appeared on the stage as Phebe in ‘‘As You Like It,’’ and made a hit. She was known as Miss Francis before going to London, but when she was engaged at Drury lane The- ater at £4 r week she changed her stage name and was known a3 Mrs. Jordan. The change was made atthe instance of her mother, who thought the ‘‘Mrs.’’ would afford the young woman some protection. Her success was immediate and immense, Her vivacious temper, winning manner and affectionate nature attracted many admirers most favored among whom was Richard Ford, a city magistrate, the son of one of the proprietors of Drury Lane Theater. With him Mrs. Jordan consented to live as mis- tress of his home, and tn due time she bore him four chYldren, three daughters and a son. She now figuredas awoman of mode, rode in her coach, marshalled her servants, and entered polite society. A conviction that she was Ford’s wife ees obtained, but was eventually dispelled b er leavin him to become the mistress of the Duke o Clarence. When she took this step her popularity abated and she was subjected to considerable criticism. It was thought fora time that she would be forced off the stage, but she bravely faced the storm and ina few months recov- ered much of the good willof London play- goers. In the course of years Mrs. Jordan bore the Duke ten children, who resided with their arentsat Bushby Park. An accountof a ete given here on one of the birthdays of His Roya diighness is described at some length in the*Courier of Saturday, the 23 of August, 1806.

But her happiness was not to be perma- nent. The Duke, finding himself in debt and difficulties towards the close of the year 1811, resolved, aftera connection of over twenty years, to part from Mrs. Jordan and marr an helress. Not having the manliness tote her of his determination, the first intelligence of his design was conveyed her by the Duke of Cumberland, who cordially disliked his royal brother. After the separation she fell into pecuniary difficulties and was obliged to leave England. She made her last appearance at Covent Garden on the Ist of January, 1814, when she paves ‘*‘Lady Teazle.’’ She then quitted ngland for France, where she resided until her death on the 8d of July, 1816.

Boston realized the expectations of almost everyone yesterday by defeating the Browns with ease. Afterthe second inning Stricker and his crew were notinthe contest. Jack Btivetts, the Browns’ old standby, was in the box for the visitors and he pitched an ex- cellent game. This, coupled with the splen- did support accorded him, resulted in Boston’s victory. Breitenstein handled the sphere for the home team and was hitat will,, besides he was very wild at critical periodsinthe game, This disheartened his support and resulted in knocking all the spirit out ofthe home team’s work. Four thousand persons witnessed the contest and thoroughly enjoyed it, notwithstanding the fact that the Browns lost. While it was not what could be calledan interesting contest, the crowd was kept ‘‘jollied up’’ @y the coaching of Tommie Tucker, Tommie Mc- Carthy, Mike Kelly and Hugh Duffy. In fact, the playing of the whole Boston team was in strange contrast to their dead, listless work ofthe previousday. Yesterday they played with spirit and dash. The clubs went out in one, two, three order in the first inning. in the second inning. Brodie hit safely past third and managed to reach that point a moment later on Caruthers’ pretty drive into right. Stricker’s sacrifice enabled him to crossthe plate. The visitors registered on Nash’s safe hit to night, a passed ball, an error by Pinkney and Quinn’s hit. The Browns failed to score in the third, but Boston piled up three runs as follows: Stiv- etts was presented with his base on balls and went down to second on Long’s hit. Duffy then punted successfully and the bases were filled. A wild pitch enabled Stivetts to score and advanced Longand Duffy each a base, Nash’s hit, which followed a moment later, registered both runs. After the Browns were retired in the fourth fmning the Beaneaters camein and tallied once more on a base On Dalils which was pre- sented to Stivetts, a passed ball, and Long’s safe hitinto left nfeld. Again the Browns came in, but failed to do anything, and when the spectators yelled for ginger, Harry Stovey stepped to the plate and lined out a beauty over second. Tommie McCarthy followed suit with another into Carroll’s territory, which enabied Stovey to reach third. Catcher Bird then fumbled a wild pitch, which permitted MeCarthy to reach second. Nash bunteda short one to Glasscock, who threw unsuccess fully to the plate to caich stovey, which en- abled Nash to reach first. Ganzel’s sacrifice advanced McCarthy and Nash each a base ana Quinn’s hit to right scored them both. Neither club scored in the sixth, but in the seventh the Browns surprised everyone by tallying’ twice. This is how itoccurred: Bird hit into left for two bases, Breitenstein and Pinkney secured their bases on balls,-and with the bases full Cliff Carroll lined out a beauty into left and Bird scored. Werden then sacrificed and Breitenstein crossed the plate. This ended the run getting. Some clever and sharp field work, however, characterized the closing innings.

Quite a coterie of distinguished visitors. Tim Murnane of the Boston Globe will re- main over to-day to see the Browns put the screws to Washingtons. The Boston delega- tion left this morning for Chicago. Bob Caruthersis hitting beautifully.

Hehas been fattening up his batting averages .inside of himself. Dolan, one of Washington’s pitchers, wasn’t good enough for Cincinnat! last year. He’s O«.

First prize THE WHEEL, FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR PIKE COUNTY TOUR— DIVISION MEET—CYCLING CHAT. About the only topic of conversation be- tween wheelmen the past week has been the coming Pike County tour, which takes place next Sunday, and an important conference was held at the Cycling Club last night to make the final arrangement. M, J. Gilbert was elected tour master and A. J, Emery and Robert Hohn were decided on as aids. O. O. Hildebrand will act as pacemaker. Hal Os- born of Quincy, Irvin Woods of Jacksonville J. P, Foxarty of Springfield, E. F. Wheeler o Carrollton, C. A. Parish of Taylorville W. E. Sullivan of koodhouse, N. H. Van Sicklen of Chicago and N. A. Allishouse of Hannibal will be deputy ,mar- shals in charge of delegations from their respective cities. Captc, Grath, Wolzendorf and Anderson have charge of the local clubs. After some discussion it was decided to give a smoker on board the Gem City on the even- ing of May 7. This will be in charge of a special committee headed by O. L. Rule and ampie talent has volunteered to make the affairasuccess. The time of departure of the boat is fixed at5 p. m. sharp, On arrival at Louisiana the party will be royally re- ceived by the Keception Committee and escorted to the Merchants’ Hotel. The pho- tograph is set for 8:30a.m., May 8, and the tour proper will start at9 a. m., sharp, It has been decided totake dinner at the Car- roll House, Clarksville, as the riders have strongly objected against riding back the long distance to Louisiana bofore noon. Let- ters were read which showed the estimated attendance to be as follows: Carrollton, 10; Roodhouse, 15; Jacksonville, 40; Quincy 30; Taylorville, 5; Jerseyville, H Whitehall, 3; Hannibal, 6; Mexico 5. TheM, B. & A. C., will send 35, the Cycfing Club 25, the Pastimes 10, and fifteen unattached men will at- tend, making the total attendance nearly two hundred, it was de- cided to allow no wheels in the tour which were not provided with brakes and the tour-master will see that this rule is strictly enforced to prevent accidents while coasting the hills. A number of Louisiana and Clarksville riders have made a complete cireuit of the roads to be traveled over next Sunday and they are all reported to be in g000 shape. A number of bridges have been renewed and there will be ho Stoppage on ac. count of bridgeless creeks.

Present indications augur most promisingly for the success of the annual meeting of the Missouri Division, L. A. W., at Springfield on July 3,4anda5. The three days of festivities will be opened by the holding of a reception atthe rooms ofthe Eagie City Cycle Club. This will be followed by an inspection run through the city.

Pike County tour May 8. I, M. Becker has returned from Reading, Pa. W.fF. Harris of Fort Scott, Kan., was in town last Thursday. Capt. Grath has decided ona new cap and uniform forthe Missouris. It will bea light gray. Oo. L. Rule, R. M. Tidd, J. W. Bowman and R. M. Milford have started totrain for the Forest Park road race. Runs to-day: Missouris to Music’s Ferry, Cycling Club to Missouri River by Olive street road, Pastimes to Ballwin. The appearance of the Chicago scorchers in the Pike County tour next Sunday is assured. Berger, Van Sicklem, Munger and Percy Walden will De in the party. ay of the riding districts of St. Joseph and kansas City have been added to the new road books of the Missourl Division, which will be ready on or about May 15. The initiait De Sotorun was taken by the Cycling Club last Sunday. Twenty-two men were in the party, and Hildebrand, Harding, Wolgendorf, Weaver and Leaffel climbed all the hills. In to-day’s run to the Missouri River the Cycling Club will form two divisions. The first will start at 6a. m. and the second one at9a.m. The late division will consist of the fast men and some road records may be established, Chicago’s famous Parkside track, bullt two years ago at great cost, will probably soon be a thing of the past. The affairs are in sucha muddle that it is hard to tell what is the mat- ter. One of the owners threatens to subdl- vide the land into building lots. At the recent meeting of the L. A. W. Rac- ing Board no action was taken in regard to road racing, and W. C. Thorn of Chicago is urging the Century Road (Club to at once assume control of American road racing. Nothing has been done as yet, and it is very doubtful if the L. A. W. will consent to this arrangement, Memphis has again refused to accept the entries of Harding and Milford for the 100- mile road race for the southern champion- ship, and the whole question has been referred to Secretary Bassett for his decision. The point at issue is whether st. Louis is to be considered a southern city or not, A great deal of comment was caused last week by the appearance of Congressman Simpson’s name among the (91 applicants for . A. W. membership. Sockless Jerry has been riding for a long time and recently Con- gressman Johnson Of Ohio followed his ex- ample. A decided novelty will be the‘‘Hard Times’’ arade of the New Haven Bicycle Club, which sto be held on the night of June 2. The riders will be dressed in the roughest looking make-aipe possible to obtain, prizes being offered for the worst-logking man in line. The recent action of the League in deciding to allow records made on board tracks has induced a lively interest inthe famous board track at the Fair Grounds amphitheater. It offers unexcelled facilities for training pur- poses, but inguiry revealed the fact that the embargo against wheelmen is still strictly enforcedand they are not allowed in the grounds. Where do all the second-hand wheels go? is @ question that is Loy rote | being asked, Scores of ordinaries are stored away in quiet repose in the cellars and lofts of dealers and in the homes of old riders, Many are still found in usein the country. In the gsolid- tired safety line dealers have many left on their hands, and hundreds of them can be found in possession of such riders as do not deem it necessary tO ride an up-to-date mount. - Picturesque Music’s Ferry will be the des- tination forthe Missouris’ run to-day, and Capt. Grath requests dyad B member’s pres- ence. The club will be entertained at er at the residence of Mr. John Warren, THE RING. Loxpon, April 30.—Fred Johnson, the 116- pound pugilist, will mot go to fight Geo. Dixon unless his expenses are sent first.

He sustained a very bad fall the other day. He will not berignt for some time. SANFORD DEFEATS DAVIS. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., April 30.—Reddy Davis and George Sanford fought twenty-six bloody and brutal rounds with bare knuckles, on an island a few miles from this point this afternoon. Davis had the best oi the contest up to the twenty-sixth round when he broke hisarm on his opponent’s head and conse- quently was compelled to give up. THE TRAP, LINCOLN, Ill., April 30.—The fourth pigeon shooting match between Capt. A. H. Bo- gardus and George Rexroat,under new rules, was shot here to-day, and culminatedin a victory for Bogardus, who killed 82 outof 50 pigeons to Rexroat’s score of 29.

A Quotation From an Eminent Authority. ‘“The ready-made clothing industry of the United States is simply ‘without a parallel. There is nothing like it in volume of product, value of output, variety of styles, excellence of workmanship, beauty of fashions or in general convenience or economy to be found elsewhere in the worid. Including all classes, the people of the United States are more uni- formly well dressed than those of any other nation. Itisalsotrue that they are enabled to array themselves thus comfortably and tastefully with less exertion than is required from the people of any other nation. Better clothing is sold to-day for less cost than ever before in the history of this country.’’ We will verify it. The above is easily proven by a visit to our store. Never before in our his- tory did we give such values as we do this spring. Any one, even the poorest judge of clothing, can not fail to see the force of this statement by examining our magnificent siock of clothing for men, boys and children.

No de- tails were received until late in the afternoon, when the Sheriff of the county wired that the Indians (Cheyennes) were tnreatening settlers in the county, and had given notice that no whites would be allowed to farm claims adjoining Indian allotments. The Governor wired to Fort Reno, and this evening two companies of cavalry from that post were dispatched to the scene of troubles. “County H is forty ““gniles from a railroad, and no details can be secured. The Cheyennes were concerned in the famous raid across Kansas some fourteen years ago, and are regular blanket Indians. For Boys’ and Youths’ Suits Come into Our Clothing Department.

It has cured me of dyspepsia, liver complaint and rheumatism. I feel likea new creature; weigh twenty pounds more than I did when I commenced its use, and feel twenty years younger. It is worth the price, if for nothing else thanto produce good, sound refreshing sleep, and quiet the nerves, I believe It will do all you claim forit, and cure any disease if usedas youdirect.

A request was made to Grand Marshal Dellacella to announce the position the lodges would occupy in the line of march, He rather dodged the inquiry. It leaked out that he was suspected of having put St. Louls Lodge, No. 1, at the postof honor and Paragon Lodge complained about the ar rangement, claiming that they originated the idea of this celebration, and that on that account they ought to have the lead. St- Louls Lodge, however, claimed the preference because of being the oldest lodgeinthecity. There was some good natured sparring between the members of the two lodges, but finally the Grand Marshal was sustained. He an- nounced that he had determined to ask St. Louis Lodge to march as his escort inthe parade. THE EXPOSITION ENTERTAINMENT.

STATE DEPARTMENT COMMANDER WHITEHEAD’S VISIT TO 8ST. LOUIS, Features of the Next General Orders to Be Issusd—The Commander and the A. O. U. W. Parade—No Hope for the O’Neill Pension Bill. Department Commander ©. W. White- head was in the city yesterday, and spent the greater portion of the day at headquar- ters in consultation with Adjt.-Gen. todgers. He unloaded on the Colonel a bulky mass of correspondence with his in- dorsement thereon, and then the two applied themselves to the preparation of a ‘‘general order’’ to be issued as soon as it can be printed. The order contains these leading features: l. The action calpment in offering prizes to the Post showing the greatest increase of new members during the department year is re- cited, the conditions of the competition are fully set forth, and the hope is expressed that the offer may result in a imaterial and permanent strengthening of the Grand Army in Missouri. 4. The Sherman Memorial Committee appointed by the late Department Commander, Martin, is con- tinued. 3. The Washington Encampment will be somewhat elaborately discussed, with the idea of securing the largest possible representation from the Missouri osts. Commander Whitehead indulges the idea of massing the Missouri contingent in one brig- ade so as to make the most effective show possible, andthe general order will pledge the department to doall it can to facilitate the transportation of unattached veterans to Washington, and to securing sultable quar- ters for them while there. Commander Whitehead told a Post-DIs- PATCH reporter that he was greatly pleased with the condition of the Department as dls- closed by his investigations since he assumed command. Everything seemed to be moving along very smoothly; five new posts had been formed since the Department Encampment, and blanks are out for haifa dozen more. Referring to the Washington demonstration, he said that he would rather be commander of the department this year than in a dozen ordinary years, It would be a summer of hard work for the De- partment officers, buta brilliant success at Washington would be adequate compensa- tion for all their toil. He was in the grand review of 1865 and intended to.be in the grand review of 1892. It was his ambition to have Missouri strongly represented on that occasion. His own section will Send large delegations, and the indications were that all parts of the State would send veter- ans, so that the Missouri aggregate would show up very imposingly. Col. Rodgers announces a new post at Laredo, Grundy county. PENSION MATTERS. The O’Nelil pension bill, an abstract of which was published in last Sunday’s Post- DISPATCH,Wwas favorably commented upon by nearly all the veterans,but none of them were very hopeful that the present Congress would consider the matter favorably. ‘This view is entertained at Washington by the author of the bill) and by Senator Palmer of Illinols. Mr. Giles Boland of Ransom Post is in receipt of the following: WASHINGTON, D. C., April 17, 1892. I send you this arrears bill. There is no hope for itatthis session, as the committee will not report it. The amount involved checks them. It is a shame; every dollar of it—no matter how great the alinount—is justly due and ought to be paid. JOHN Jd. O’ NEILL. UNITED STATES SENATE, WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7, 1892. I have your favor of April 4, 1892, enclosing bill to amend sec. 2 ofthe actof March 3, 1879, and for other purposes. | have shown the bill to several Senators, and none of them are inclined to favor its passage. ‘The diffi- culty isin the large increase it would render neces- sary in the pension appropriations. It will go to the Committee on Pensions, where I will see that itis fully considered. Respectfully, JOHN M. PALMER. THE A. O. U. W. PARADE. Comrade Stephen Dellacella, aid-de-camp on the staff of Department Commander Whitehead, is Grand Marshal of the A. O, U. W. parade on May 12. He is anxious to get the Grand Army posts out on that day and has asked Commander Whitehead if he will come down and head the Grand Army division. The latter replies that if the St, Louls posts turn out as organizations, and as such ask him to join them, he will make every effort to do so. Comrade Dellacella says he has three posts pledged to purade May 12 and he hopes to get the others. HONORS TO WHITEHEAD. The Kansas City comrades gave a reception to Department Commander Whitehead on Wednesday evening. The Woman’s Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans, etc., participated and prominent members from all over the State were present. Speeches, music, etc., were indulged in. DECORATION DAY SUGGESTION. Maj. H. J. Stienlin, Adjutant of Gen. Lyon Post, says of the Decoration Day celebration: ‘:The majority of the older comrades of the G. A. R., who yearly parade with their posts on the G. A. R..Memorial Day parade and participate in the decoration of graves at Jefferson Barracks National ‘Cemetery, favor an earlier hourfor the parade through the streets of the city than __ heretofore. The marching at the noon hours, through the hottest part of the day and again the climbing up at the Barracks and the second parade on that day —to the cemetery—during a hot afternoon sun is more than can be endured. This ques- tion was agitated by the comrades of Harry P. Harding Post and others, and the general committee at its next meeting should not forget that some posts have a long distance to march before reaching the place from which parade starts.’’ BLAIR POST. Four recruits were musteredat Blair Post on Monday evening. There were several vis- itors present from different States, and they said they had never anywhere seen a finer muster, and they had seen a good many.

There wasa lively talk on the proposed $100,000 appropriation by Congress for the Washington Encampment. The sentiment of the speakers was strongly against any such appropriation from the National treas- ury, but when it was shown that the money would be drawn from the revenues of the district the objections were withdrawn.

Thousands and Your Want Filled Ere ow 4 LABOR’S GREAT DAY. To-Day Will Be Celebrated All Over the World. Gow IT WILL BE OBSERVED IN ST. LOUIS BY WORKMEN, An Entertainment This Afternoon at Oon- cordia Park—Origin .of the Day—The Trouble Between the Musicians’ Union and Theatrical Brotherhood Taken Up by the Trades and Labor Union. The observance of Maylasa sort of labor day appears to have become a fixed custom fn all civilized lands. As an international festival it is of foreign origin, yet it was an American suggestion that first gave it proml- nence.j At the third annual convention of the American Federation of Labor held in St. Louis in December, 1888, May 1, 1890, was fixed as the date of the inauguration of eight hours asadeay oflaborin America. In July, 1889, the International Labor Congress, sitting in Paris, recognized the great significance of .theaction of the American Federation of La- bor, and unanimously decreed that May 1 should be an international Labor day. May 1, 1890,. was widely observed in America, and was more or iless recognized in Europe; but on May 1, 1891, there were imposing demonstrations in favor ofan eight-hour day in all the industrial centers in England and on the Continent. In August, 1891, the International Labor Congress, meeting at Brussels, reaffirmed the action of the Paris Conference regarding the anniversary; and soit hascome to pass that the date is everywhere accepted, and its observance is an event of no little import- ance in its possible relations to the labor movement. In America it is regarded as more distinctively a labor’s holiday than the specifically American Labor Day on the first Monday in September. The great popularity of the May Day celebrationis probably due to the thought underlying the movement. That working- men throughout the world are brothers, that their cause is common;that the conditions that elevate or depress labor are essentially the same everywhere; that the laws affecting Jabor are world-encircling in their reach; that none can be benefited orharmed with- out others sharing in the goodor bad for- tune; that none can be really or permanently benefited solong asall cannot participate in the prosperity; that the injury of one is the concern of all, and that the ‘‘solid- arity of the peoples’’ is now atheory, must be a condition and a fact. The basic idea of the movement is, as Lowell says, that man- kind are one in spirit, and in che gain or loss of one race all the rest have equa! claim; or, us the Good Book says, ‘‘weare members one of another.’’ THE DAY IN 8ST. LOUIS. In St. Louis the day will be worthily cele- brated. Concordia Park this afternoon will be crowded with working people, their faml- liesand their friends, and the festivities will be interesting.

LOUIS. The Sunday Closing Movement to Be Inaugurated To-Day. The Clerks’ Association will inaugurate the Sunday closing movement to-day, beginning with the grocery stores. Itis claimed that the clerks have the sanction of all the proprietors of grocery stores in thelr en- deavors, and that the places will be volun- tarily closed to-day. Noattempt will yet be made to have the clothing stores closed. Dry goods houses have always closed on Sundays, so there is no discussion about them. It is reported that the proprietors of several drug stores are considering the advis- ability of closing their places of business on Sundays except during two hours In the fore- noon and the same in theafternoon. The temperance workers, who have been circu- lating petitions for the closing of beer gar- dens on the Sabbath met last night and pre- pared thelr petitions for presentation to the City Couneil to-morrow. Coroner Woods ascertained in holding an inquest yesterday onthe remains of the man who was killed by a Vandallatrain at Casey- Ville, that the deceased was Ehrhardt Hoff- man, a resident of Collinsvilie. Hoffman’s legs and arms were crushed and his body was terribly mangled. Death must have been almost instantaneous. The remains were brought to East St. Louis after the inquest and forwarded from here to Collinsville. Rev. F. L. West, pastor of the Summit Avenue M. E. Church, will preach at the R. hk. Y. M. C. A. rooms this afternoon on *‘The Three Great Unanswered Questions.’’ Rev. Trickett of the Christian Church will handle the same subject at the rooms next Sunday. The town of lllinois City, since 1874 within the corporate limits of East St. Loults, is one of the oldest in the State, and hasa history full of interest, and coincident with that of the ‘‘Commons of the Village of Cahokia.’’ They both belong to the old United States survey No. 777, and were settled by the earll- est French settlers in St. Clair County. Located within the present city limits in the northeastern part of the yt it is one of the most beautiful portions of Kast St. Louis and is now receiving a marvelous impetus in the line of improvement. It is naturally elevated above the estabiished grade of the city, is prettily laid out, and has broad av- enues, wide alleys and deep lots and is sup~ plied with ali the artificial conveniences of water, gas and electric a One of the finest Union depots in the State is to be built there, for itis convenient to all the Grand Trunk Railway lines and is skirted by the Belt Railway, connecting it with every line entering the city. The elevation of its lots will save the cost attendant upon high foundations and expensive drainage. A lot will furnish a delightful door-yard and grass- plot, as well as the richest kind ofa garden spot. Itisout for enough to be beyond the reach of the smoke and dust of the city’s nu- merous factories, etc. ‘An addition to ilnolis City was laid out in 1870, by Louis Gross.

Gross’ Park isone of the finest, and in fact the only natural park of its sizein thecity, and ison the proposed line of the electric road. The large number of new costly bulldings being erected in IMinois City and additions point conclusively to the fact that it is to be and remain the residence portion of East St. uls. P. W. Abt, who‘ recently purchased the Presbyterian Church on Collinsville avenue, is eb meee prepared for the new busi- ness building he proposes to erect in front.of the old edifice. Fred Rodemut of Millstadt was severly in- jured yesterday through the carelessness of his nephew, a 16-year-old boy named Oliver Baltz.

Lynch, World’s Fair Commissioner to the South sea islands, has cabled that he has completed arrangements for an exhibit from the Phillipine Islands and Is now de- voting hisattentionto Java. There is every prospect that the exhibit will be one of great interest. Mr. McCormick, the London agent of the Columbian Exposition, has forwarded to Chicago an application from Mrs. M. L, Mul- linger, who wishes to establisha gypsy en- campment within the grounds of the Expo: sition, probably upon the Midway Plaisance. Mrs. Mullinger is alluded to as being remark- ably well versed in gypsy lore, and proficient in gypsy learning. >le Manages a gypsy en- campment near Liverpool, England. The construction of the Exposition builld- ings is progressing inthe most satisfactory manner, and there is no reason for doubt that all will be completed in time for dedica- tion. The rough carpentry work is practi- Cally finished on all of the large structures except Machinery Hall and the Manufac- turers’ Building, and on these it isinan ad- vanced stage. Sixor sevenof the buildings have the exterior appearance almost of fin- ished structures, and look like imposing mar- ble palaces. Mr. Robert 8. McCormick, resident Com- missioner forthe World’s Fair, at London, has received word that an influential com- mittee in Genevais actively promoting the formation of a creditable Swiss section at the Fair, and is meeting with tay Are success. Watchmaking will be one of the chief features ofthe display. Itis considered possible that Switzerland will yet appoint a government commission on the Fair. Karl Hagenbeck, famous for hisability in taming wild animals, is devoting his time in Hamburg toa group of Hons, tigers, jaguars and hyenas that he expects to bring to the Fair. This group consists of fifty animals, all to be kept in one bigcage. Hagen already spent a fortune on the group. Messrs.

The interest of the people has been apes f increased by the decision to construct orthe Florida Building a reproduction of old ‘*Fort Marion,’*’ claimed to be the oldest structure om the continent. The building is a very picturesque one.

It willbe seven and one-half feet, and of at least 25,000 candle power, ‘The Frankfurt light could be seen plainly at Bin- gen on the Rhine, forty-five miles away. It is cmpoers that the search light at the World’s Fair can be seen at least sixty miles away. » Electrical Engineer Sargent is making poaes for a tower 300 feet high, on which the ig light willbe mounted. At a height of 100 feet above the ground will be two six-foot search lights, and the three will suffice to il- luminate the skies for miies around Jackson Park. Brilliant feats are accomplished with these search lights. Sheets of light can be projected with parallel, converging or die verging rays. When the rays are thrown out parallel a clearly defined sheet of . fames seems to be suspended in the darkness, By changing the reflector the rays are brought toa focusat long distance from the central station. These lights, turned on the batid- ings and alternately shot into the heavens or out across the laxe, will produce brilllant electrical effects. THe Peerless Knabe pianos sold by J.

In lowly hovels and overcrowded ‘tenements there is food for thought sufficient to gorge the mind of the visitor, even when the denizens of the spot may crave for bodlly nourish- ment. The visiting officer of a very well known = philanthropic and charitable organizationin.the course of her rounds entered a house stricken with the twin affliction of poverty and death, In a small, dimly lighted room a woman lay dead. She had not passed the threshold of middie life, but her face had not lost, even in death, the grim lines of griefandcare. Twosmall chil- Gren and an infant were objects of commis- eration for a group of neighbors, The visitor had been to see the dead woman before death claimed her, and she knew the dead woman to be the mother of the little ones. After a few words or consolation, the lady inquired of the mourners the circumstances of the woman’s death. They replied readily and revealed in their remarks one of those short and simple annals of the poor too strange almost to be true. She died of pneumsnia the day before. She had been sick for a week, and unable to labor for the support of her children. Afew days before she was taken ilishe paid a visit to the cemetery, where her husband and two of her children were buried. There it was that in the practice of a peculiar Custom, she invited her own death. Fortwohours the poor woman hovered about the resting place of the de- parted, and there, in the words of the narrators, she **cried the graves.’’ She sobbed and wept in anguish. Her manifestations of grief were heart-felt, but the custom ‘‘tocry the graves’’ was astrong incentive, and lent vol- ume to her tears. She had cried her fli and answered all the require- ments of the solemn practice and prepared to return to the haunts of life and practical sorrows. But the sexton of the cemetery happened along and shattered her dream of peace. ‘*Madam, that is not the rave-in which your husband was uried a week ago, and those are not the graves of your children.’’ The an- nouncement was in itself sufficient to draw tears for sheer disappointment, and she did not restrain them. The sexton led her to the. graves of her family, unmarked by stick or stone, and left her alone witb her sorrow. She felt that the custom was still unfulfilled. She must ‘‘cry the graves’’ of her own... For an: other wea hour then she _ sobbed and moaned. The moist wet earth had no terrors for her as she lay prone on the little mounds. She complied with the custom, but at the cost of her life. She returned to her house, andthe nextday found her in bed with pneumonia. Delegates to the Auxiliary.

Woman’s Christian Association Notes. The Woman’s Training School, 813 North Fourth street, intend to absorb more of the bullbing in which it is now located. At present the school occupies only the upper stories, but negotiations for the lease of the store on the ground floor are now almost closed. The Board of Managers has planned to maqve the dining-room and kitchen to the first floor as soon as possession is obtained. The change will be very bene- ficial to the school and its patrons, especially to those who eat their dinnersin the lunch room of the school. The fact that more room was absolutely neccessary for the school to do justice tothe extensive demands upon it, is a tribute to the progress of the institution and its managers. ; The Young Woman’s Christian Association held its regular weekly social evening on Thursday. Bible reading and religious exer- cises comprised the programme.

New York Women Are Buying Some Striking Ones for Their Maids.| Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH, New YORK, April 27.—The servant girl of the Nineteenth century is an important factor inthe modern home, Being identified with the family she must havea certain style and chic of her own, and the dainty caps and aprons she wears will have much to do with this. She must possess at least six aprons and as many caps as there are days in the week. These aprons,when ready made,vary in price from 25 cents to $5. Tuckingis in favor, and with each tuckthe priceis raised 10 cents. The customary length is forty inches. The strings are long and of an astonishing width. Cambric, muslin, nainsook and lawn are the materials most used, while many of the more elaborate aprons havea deep border formed of rows of lace insertion. Occasionally the nurse’s apron will have straps across the shoulder and a bodice effect in front. The caps are specially striking. They vary in a from 15 cents to $2. For the nurse-maid the cap has a frill about the edge, and the inevitable streamers. Some of tue daintiest caps shown this spring are of white lawn with a puff of lace forming the edge. The cap which the waitress should don bears a striking resemblance to a diminutive lace bureau mat; the more costly ones are made entirely oflace, are square in shape and perfectly fat. One woman of fashion in New York has a large cedar chest which she devotes to the servant maidin her employ. As soon as Madame engagesanew maid the damsel is presented with three gingham dresses, the same number of caps and aprons and a good supply of pocket handkerchiefs, all of which have been brought from the chest. Whenthe maid takes her departure the caps and aprons seek refuge in the chest again, but the dresses and pocket handkKer- chiefs are allowed to go with her. Many society women have special fancies of their own inregard tothe attire of their maids. Just at present the highly-berib- boned apronis popular. Should Madame like green her maid will wear an apron with six rows of narrow green ribbon run through the insertion, and perhaps just the suggestion of a pale green bowon the cap. These ribbon aprons would be decidedly fetching if the color were allowed to harmonize with the complexion of each maid.

To the thousands of women who are going to Europe this summer, and even to the thousands who would like to go but cannot, these suggestions may be welcome. For we all havea longing eye fixed on that Mecca, and some day—somehow, all of us are going. Packing is avery important matter, and the novice on her first trip abroad almost un- avoidably takes the things she does not want, and leaves behind those for which she most yearns. First, select from your supply of last win- ter’s dresses the plainest and that which is the least troublesome to get into. One of your first lessons ‘‘on board’’ will be:to dress hastily and get out of your close cabin as soon as possible. Next you want a long ulster— one which buttons to your feet!is best. This will keep your skirts from blowing when you are on deck,and it will be warm and comfort- able, too. | A soft cap of becoming shade, with a heavy silk veil to protect your face from the cutting wind, will be indispensable, You can arrange your cap and veil before leaving the cabin, and it may not be necessary to remove to re- arrange it before you retireatnight, Inse.- lecting acap remember that bangs do not keepin curl on shipboard unless you have been blessed by nature. ; An easy pairof shoesand gloves that can be readily slippedon andoff must be added to the list. Now comes the question of packing the steamer trunk, which is the only trunk you will take with you. Begin with the « big things. Goto some good dressmaker and se- lect the material fora plain but stylish trav- eling dress. It should be material that will take a littie wetting and look none the worse, and one that will sift the dust. Such a dress, tailor made, wiil cost about $30 and will be suitable for almost any ordinary occasion after you land on the other side. A jacket, @or a little wrap of some descrip- tion, made of the samo material as the dress, is a capital investment, though it may not be absolutely necessary. With this costume select a becoming hat\or bonnet which will not permit thehairto biow about the face; something small and close-fitting will bea wise selection. Very neat shoes, gloves of ood quality, the ever present umbrella—and hold! You can ‘‘do’’ Europe comfortably. This suitis not to be worn until 1 nd is s®zhted on the ‘‘other side.’” Arrayed in it, then, you feel like a new being after having lived in your sea togs fora week. The sea togs smell briny, and if packed in your trunk, willimpart the sameodor to every- thing in it. Fora few weeks’ trip ‘‘across’’ there should be packed in the steamer trunk three changes of underciothing. Instead of linen or cotton night gowns It Ils always best when traveling by water to have one made of dark flanne!. This affords better ,protection from the cold than cotton ae linen, and in cases of metimes conspicuous gtart, thinking to avoid se Le fill your trunk and hand-bag 3 of | doctors’ stuff which you ‘‘may need.’’ Every Ship carries a doctor who can supply you, free of charge, with all you need in the shape of medicine. But don’t bother the ship’s doc- tor more than is necessary. You will do well to take with youa large bottle of citrgte of magnesia (solia form), and every morning help yourselfto a heaping teaspoonfal, dis- solved in a glass of water. If you feel ili take more later; it will do you good. In many cases it prevents seasickness. Pack into your hand-bag the same toilet articles that would be used for a long journe onland. A medium-sized steamer trunk wi contain all that you need for this trip. Should both 4 chance need it, you can buy and have fitt a dress at half a day’s no- jae and at little cost, in any of the large cities. f course you willtake several light novels h you, anda steamerrug. If the weather favorable take your steamer chair to a place on deck, wrap yourself in your rag. and read a little, ave your name on your steamer chair and the company will take care of it, free of cost, until you claim it on your return trip. When you don’t feel well have your meals served to you on deck. It will not cost a penny extra and the fresh air will make your appetite better. Whenitis possible stay on deck and you will get much more benefit from the voyage than if you remain below. Keep the seclusion which the cabin grants only when it is absolutely necessary. Don’t load yourself down with extra satchels, don’t carry halfadozen umbrellas and parasols and don’t expect the same sleeping accom-. modations that you would find at home, GLOBE Hot Shot, HERE IS YOUR CREST. Or at Least You’ll Be Quite-Safe in Adopting It. **Have you a crest?’’ If not, dear girl, youare behind the times. You must havea crest forthwith. What’s that? Noright to one? Why, of course you have, or at least you will be quite safein adopting anything you may fancy in that line. All you have to dois to trace back your lineage to some second son in the ‘*‘old country,’’ and there you are. If you have been so highly favored by Prov- idence as to be born a Livingston, Van Cort- landt, Schuyler, Hancock, Winthrop, Van Renssaiaer, Morris, Phillips or Thorndyke, you have theadvapntage not only of the silver spoon in your mouth, but of the crest upon it as well. And you can emblazen your envel- opes, your shoe-horn and your robe de nuit with a ‘‘demi-lion rampant, gules, argent,’’ ‘fa demi-bear, passant, fessways,’’ or ‘‘a dem!-elephant, erased, volant, vert,’’ or the likeness of anything in heaven above, the earth beneath or in the waters under it, ac- cording to your own taste.

COUNTESS CASTIGLIONE OF NAPOLEON THIRD’S COURT NOW A RECLUSE, — Special Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DISsPAToH. Paris, April17.—The Countess Castiglione, the lovely Italian, who was one of the most exquisite, as she was the most famous, of the beauties of the court of Napoleon III., has been compelled to quit the abode on the Place Vendome, where she has lived ina retirement as profound as that of a convent for over fifteen years. The house wherein she re- sided has been bought by the jeweler, Boucheron, who may be rembered as having arranged and mounted for Mrs, Mackay her magnificent set of sapphires. He intends to transform the whole house intoa sumptuous dwelling, not only for his business, but for himself. The Countess in vain offered to pay him whatever amount of rent he might choose to ask for the suite of apartments which has for so long formed her home. Boucheron was obdurate, and the lady myst take her departure. For years the once dazzling Countess hag lived in a seclusion as profound as thatof a cloistered nun. She retired from the world as soon as her charms began to fade, and since that period she has devoted her days to mourning over their loss. She was always greatly the slave of her own beauty. She rigorously followed a course of action,set forth for her by a celebrated Paris physician, which comprised perfumed baths containing emollient lotions, a strict adheranceto cer. tain rules of diet, and a careful avoidance of over-seasoned food and _ strong wines. She never braved the cold air of a wiuter’s night when going toor returning home from a ball without masking her face in a well-warmed handkerchief of the finest cambricto preventall injury to her com- plexion from the sudden chill. Ina word she lived for herown loveliness, and when she saw that its inevitable departure was at hand, she renounced the world of society wherein she would no longer meet either with mento admire heror women to envy her. Only a few intimate friends have ever been admitted to cross the threshold of her elegant abode on the Place Vendome. She goes out but seldom, and then only to take a drive in a close carriage in the Bois de Boulogne at an unfashionable hour, when she is sure of bn Be by no one that she knows. It would dificult for any one to recognize her during one of these solitary drives, as she is always closely veiled in heavy biack lace.. Her confidential maid, who has lived with her ever since the palmy days of her power and prestige under the Second Empire, is sometimes to be seen on a fine evening exercising three iittie dogs of remarkable beauty on the wide nee of the Place Vendome, which is, the way, a ve paradise for the pet dogs of the neighborhood. One of these is an Albino black and tan terrier, pure white, withthe markings of his natural ne visible under his snowy coat. 1his unique an curious little animalis said to be worth more money than I will venture to state. The other two are Blenheim spaniels, the de- scendants of a pair imported b Ill, from England and presente as pope ot * ~ Ss probable that the Countess Castipii exercised a more powerful infuehce pn oy + mind and actions ef her imperial lover than did any other of the many women with whom his name was more or less prominently con- nected. When she first arrivedin Paris she was a faultless type of that fascinating style of beauty, an italian blonde. She was per- fectly formed, a Venus in flesh and blood, with exquisite features, brilliant blue eyes, and a complexion of the pale, pure smooth- ness of a camellia petal.

She was the first to inaugurate the sleeveless corsage, made simply with straps passing over the shoulders for ball toilettes. Her appearance ata nd fancy costume ball of the epoch in thec acter of ‘‘Salammbo’’ created a sen- sation that is not yet forgotten.

Huron, Oregon, Eclipse and Other Cracks atthe Track—Trouble With the Start- ing Which Will be Remedied—An Im- mense Crowd in Attendance—General Racing News—Results Elsewhere. A perfect day for the opening of the spring race meeting of the Fair Grounds Jockey Club yesterday had‘ its natural results in causing probably the most brilliant initial occasion in the race history of St, Louls. The sky all morning was cloudless, and the sun, when noon was passed, continued shining with aspring-time brightness that was cal- culated to draw the whole world out of doors to enjoy the first balmy breath of the delicious season. A soft, southerly wind prevailed and the atmosphere had just that degree of pleasant warmth calculated to render an afternoon in the open air peculiarly enjoyable. Coming as such a day did, almost the first of its kind for 8st, Louis this year, the races reaped'the full ben- efit of having the weather clerk on their side, and the spring meeting of 1892 had an auspi- cious opening which must have filled the hearts of the Jockey Club management with serene content. From 1o’clock onward until the hour set for the first race of the day the Fair Grounds race track was the Mecca for brilliant thousands of pleasure-seeking pilgrims, Every avenue leading to the scene was a picture of handsome equipages gay race parties, spring costumes, and brightly-expectant faces, and the various street railway lines running west- ward to the Fair Grounds were c rowded with equally festive race-goers, Through the wide gates of the Fair Groundsthis army of holiday people passed, and then within the beautiful limits of the race track the bright- est picture ever seenin St. Louls began to materialize. MADE A PRETTY PICT URE. By 2o0’clock the grandstand was crowded from the lowest to the topmost tier of seats, with ladies predominating its vast sweep, looked like an animated flower- bed of gigantic proportions, gleaming with bright colors mingled in that accidental harmony charecteristic of such gatherings. Above the first floor of the grand-stand, in the boxes, were many private parties, composed of the belles and beaux of St. Louis, and the scene there was a vivid accentuation of that in the ‘‘lower house’’ of the grand-stand. To the east of the grand- stand, in the beautiful galleries of the Jockey Club-house, the picture was a still more Dril- liant one, for there was the .rie dress parade of St. Louis beauty and fashion. Num- berless groups of well-Known society people, the wives, daughters and friends of the mem- bers of the Jockey Club, formed the gayly- dressed ranks of the local ‘‘assembmge of the select,’’ which mobilized on the club ver- andas. On the lawn infront ofthe club- house were other parties bent on enjoying the races ‘‘al fresco,’’ in lawn chairs, on the red, rustic benches or, perlbaps, seated in genuine out-of-door fashion on the close- trimmed velvet sward stretching southward and eastward tothe edge of the trac« $145, 279. 89.

The Mine of American Comedy Opened in “a Temperance Town’’—Hoyt’s Stand- point and Methods-—The Return of **Sinbad’’—Wilkinaon’s Widows.” The most striking quality of ‘‘A Temper- ance Town’’ is its uniqueness, It is thoroughly original. The theme, stand- point and treatment are the author’s own. There is a dash of winning audacity in thus picking up an odd phase of American politicaland social development and trans- ferring it to the stage. But Hoyt has not only proved that he has the courage of his convictions, but the abil- ity to so present them in dramatic form that they are acceptable tothe public. His new play is not only unique, but itis interest- ing. It is not only a successful entertain- ment, butitis more. It is full of the meat of true comedy, in this respect the richest, perhaps, of any of his produc- tions. It is, in a truer sense than many more pretentious works, a genuine American comedy, a picture of certain real phases of American life andcharacter. He réproduces the life and thought of his times roughly in spots, but yet substantially. He takes the commonplaces of life, the little things, the everyday incidents, the familiar characters, the oddities, humors and thoughts of plain people, and converts them into dramatic material. He-hbasto a certain extent the talent of the caricaturist, that is to say, he seizes upon the bobbies, the salient points of life, of character,.and accentuates them to make his’ points impressive, and for humorous purposes, but there is both art and clevernessinthis. Helis both manager and author and therefore he writes for suc- cess. He sometimes uses devices mechanical and farcical which may mar the artistic consistency and finish of his woré, but they create laughter, and thus contribute to the assurance that the work will be kept before the public instead of be- ing relegated to the desk. His effects are “frequently broad and his contrasts strong, but the touch is none the less true. There are broad effects and strong con- trasts in life. Misery touches the garments of luxury and tears wait upon laughter, There are strong contrasts, unusual situa- tions and odd sentiments in ‘‘A Temperance Town,’’ yet it cannot be said thatany of them are impossible. Although muny peo- ple will not assent to the justification of a law-breaking rume-seller because he has sick children and was wounded In the war, yet there are people who willand that is suf- ficient for dramatic purposes. It is not likely thata tlergyman’s daughter would interfere in belialf of an offending rum-seller, yet it is possible and illustratesa fine point of true charity. Itis not likely thata man would force his daughter to leave home because she had befriended a rum-seller and spoiled his Plans, but a man who has nursed a personal feeling against and _ abhor- rence of the liquor traffic until he tis almost a monomaniac on the subject might doit. Itisnot necessary that all agree with all of the philosophy expressed ina play. It is only necessary that it be characteristic and a fit expression for the mouth in which itis put. New things are welcome things in the drama. This playisanewthing. It gives to the stage interesting types of character, de- velopes phases of life new to it, and illus- trates human nature, both the tender and the gay, by many keen touches of kindly humor. It has faults, incongruities and rough spots, some of which are due to the stage production. But it is_ thor- eughly human and American, It is writ- ten of and for the people. It touches popular sympathy and points the way tothe true comedy of American life. The ‘‘Mink’’ Joneses, the ‘‘Bingoes,’’ the Belchers, the Ruths, the Hardmans, the Joe Vialls, are the people, and the incidents, sorrows and joys, emotions and humors of their lives make up the material which will eventually form the best and most permanent American comedy, Hoyt has the talent to delve out these ma- terials and to utilize them in such a way that they appeal tothe people and please them. There fs dross mixed withthe gold, but he is still young and the mine is a rich one. The Week’s Attractions. St. Louis theater- goers will to-night at the Grand Opera-house have an opportunity to enjoy again the beauties of the American Ex- travaganza Co.’s big spectacular production, **Sinbad, or the Maid of Balsora,’’ which will probably be its last engagement in this country outside of New York City, where the piece is to run this summer for two months. Since the organization was here last fall it has completed long and successful engage- ments in San Francisco, Boston and Phila- delphia, and it has runitsrecordup in Chi- cago to twenty-two weeks; a record only sur- ssed by its predecessor, the ‘‘Crystal lipper,’’ which in fits original and revived form, and during two seasons ran for thirty- four weeks in the Windy City. . There have been very few alterations in **Sinbad’’ since it Was presented here last. he familiar quay of Balsora is still shown, and soare those pict- uresque scenes, the pirate ship at sea, the shipwreck,the bottom of the ocean, the can- nibalisland, the tan- gled jungle, the val- ley of diamonds, Sin- bad’s palace of ivory and gold and the lovely transformation scene, ‘*‘The Morning of Life.’’ The debon- aire young Sinbad is still played by Loulse Eissing, and Ida Mulle continues to be his petite and winsome sweetheart. Jessie Villars has replaced Fanny Beane as the funny old woman, Maraschina, and is said to give A clever impersonation of the role. Frankie Raymond is now seen as Sal- amagundi and Nellie Lynch makes a dainty Cupid. There have been no changes what- ever among the male members of the cast. Henry Norman is still the bluff smugzler, Arthur Dunn the comical Old Man of the Sea Eddie Foy the irrepressible Fresco, Dan Hart **the tired old man,’”’ Spencer Gracey the eccentric Count and Crawford and McKisson the amusing cannibals, ‘*‘Tuesday’’ and **Wednesday.’”* The grand **Winter Ballet’’ continues to be one of the bright particular features of the lece and init Martha Irmler, the premiere anseuse of the organization, is now intro- ducing several new dances, among thema s de deux with Fraulein Henrietta Rosche. ith Craske,a pretty little English danseuse, does a novel Character dance, and Mlle. Stoddart is seen in the latest sensation, **The serpentine Gance,.’’ There is much new music inthe produc- tion; although ‘*The Boyle man,’’ ‘‘Wha the Wild Waves Say,’’ **True As Stee}l,’’ **I’m Seventeen To- ** and other hits are still retained. Among the new mu-, gical features is. a que quartette with e,canine and owl- Kissing fe and Mulle and Messrs, Norman and Gracey. Eddie Foy, also, has two hew comic ditties, ‘*He Didn’t Wink His Eye’’ and ‘‘There Are omenuts When One Wants to be Alone, ’’ Arthur Dunn has a peseey lurphy’s Dan Haven’t Got It N he management does hme ig ee much in 6 @ that * bines the e of farce, comic o a, ballet £3 ; forit is quite as ical as most comedies, is as melodious as the comic opera, and has was ever displayed 7 Three of the local Bien while its spectacular features haye probably never been surpassed in this country.

It comes heralded as one of the greatest comedy successes of sev- eral seasons. It is said to have a strong comedy fiber and to be full of the most amus- ing situations. {it is given a farcica\ color- ing, however, and is said to go with laugh- compelling dash from start tofinish. The work of adaptation has been done by William Gillette, who is credited with doing some of his best comedy writing in the piece. Mr, Wilkinson does not appear inthe play, butit is shown shat when he was alive he was a lively character. He lived in London and in Edinburg, where he had business in the wine trade. Inthese cities he main- tained two domestic establishments. Mr, Gillette shows that he was married to two charming young women, oneof whom dur- ing Wilkinson’s periodical absence carried on a series of flirtations with several ad- mirers; on Wilkinson’s death, however, both the young women married. One of them is known a8 Mrs. Perrin, the other as Mrs. Dickerson. The latter was the lively Mrs. Wilkinson during his lifetime. Each supposed himself to be the only wife of the bigamist. To the home of Mrs. Perrin comes P. Ferguson Mallory,who tells the hus- band that he has returned from a voyage for the purpose of meeting a young woman whom he loved very much, but who, during his ab- sence, married Wilkinson—a fact which did not inrerfere with a mild flirtation on their art—but he has now returned, knowing that Vilkinson is dead, to marry her. ‘to Mr. Perrin’s dismay and agony it is revealed that the woman with whom Mallory carried on this flirtation was Mrs. Wilkinson. Perrin thinks that he refers to his own wife. Here fullows a series of rapid complications in the efforts made by Perrin to prevent Mallory from meeting with his (Perrin’s) wife. It transpires, however, later that the particular Mrs. Wilkinson with whom Maj. P. Ferguson Mallory was con- cerned was not Mr. Perrin’s wife, but Mrs. Dickerson who, by a coincidence, lives in a flat-in the same house with the Perrins. Upon the mistaken identity as to which Mrs. Wil- Kinson was the belovedof the affectionate Mallory,the complications are brought about. Two happy homes are therefore thrown into a turbulent state of excitement. The company may be taken asa fair guar- antee that the performance will be of the highest. It embraces well-known and brilliant artists. Mrs, Georgia Drew Barry- more, who is exceedingly clever and piquant, is the leading comedienne. Her talent is hereditary. Emily Boncker, formerly Rosina Vokes’ leading lady, is another bright actress, and the list Is filled out by Mattie Ferguson, Adelaide Grey and Annie Wood. Of the men Joseph Holand ts credited witha great hitas Mr. Perrin, and his associates embrace such clever actors as Thomas Ryley, John W. Thompson, Thomas H, Burns and kdward Coleman. x . * ‘*The Midnight Alarm,’’ the latest realistic melodrama, will be presented at Pope’s this week, beginning with a matinee this after- hoon. Its hero is a fireman, Harry West- more, and its heroine is a little newsgirl known as Sparkle, who in the end, of course, turns out to be the person whom everyone ts looking for. Gideon Tillwell, an old farmer just arrived in New York, furnishes amuse- ment with his rustic ways, and aids in foiling the arch-scoundrel, Silas Carringford. Car- ringfordis a big oil speculator, but atthe time of the story is in financial straits. He plunges into crime to retrieve his fortune, and one of his dark deeds is to fire his own mansion for the insurance. The depart- ment responds gallantly, and the fire engine rushes across the stage at full tilt drawn by a splendid team of horses. As the alarm is turned in at midnight and as much of the plot hinges upon the success or failure of Carringford’s schemes, the reason tor giving the play the name itcarriesis plain. The East River wharf, with the giant Brooklyn Bridge in the shadowy distance, ts the first scene, and is followed by glimpses of rural landscape tin the third act, and some realistic New York scenes in the fourth and fifth. - * * The theatrical season is drawing to a close. houses—the Hagan, Hav- lin’s and the Standard—close their doors after to-day. The Olympic and Grand have two mg@gre at- tractions in store. Atthe former house the Liliputians return after ‘*Wilkinson’s Widows’’ fora final engagement. They will appear in ‘‘Candy,’’ the. brilliant spectaular piece which was produced here with so much success. At the Grand Fanny Daven- port will appear in her gorgeous production of ‘*Cleopatra’’ and Pope’s completes the list of open theaters. MUSICAL EVENTS. Prof. Poppen’s New Cpera-—The Chora Symphony £ociety’s Concert. Prof. Poppen’s new opera, ‘‘Althea,’’ which will be presented at the Pickwick May 8, 5and 6, is creating bright expectations. As the opera has been published many are familiar with it. The scene tis laid in Turkey, and the story embraces romantic and humor.- ous phases of Oriental life. The music Is highly commended as brilliant and pleasing, while the libretto contains many bright and clever points. The cast is large and capable, there isa well-trained chorus anda ballet which will figurein an attractive way. An enjoyable performance may be anticipated. THE CHORAL SYMPHONY SOCIETY.

Mrs. Romualdo Pacheco, who Is responsible for ‘‘Incog,’’ is in New York, where she will spend the summer in writing a farce for George W. Lederer’s stock company. When this organization starts onits tour she will accompany it as far as San Francisco, where it opens at Stockwell’s New Theater, making such alterations en route as the actual repre- sentations of the farce may suggest. Richard Mansfield has commissioned a New York pia wright to dramatize for the stage Fergus Hume’s last novel, ‘‘The Man Who Vanished.’’ The book ison the ‘‘Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’’ order. One of the novelties of the next season will be an intensely interesting drama called ‘‘The Milk Train.’’ It will come from the pen of the author of those great literary successes, ‘*The Noontide Alarm,’’ ‘“ihe Unlimited Mail,’’ **The Slow Mail’’ and ‘‘The Salary Train.’’ ‘the principal act of ‘The Milk Train’’ will show the prairies in a blinding blizzard. ‘*‘The Milk Train’’ is wrecked in an avalanche of snow, the milk treeges ana for eight days the characters live on ice cream.

MS ee ih 1 eae Fan AR. ees Se Nn eet wy St. Zouis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, May 1, 1899, 4 WILL IT BULL? ‘AR ATTEMPT TO BE MADE TO ADVANCE - THE WHEAT MAREET. The Situation as It Stands—Dullness Pre- | wailing in Corn ‘and Oats—Fizzle of the May Deals—Flour and Cotton—Local Gossip for the Trade. It does look as though an attempt would be made to bull wheat this week. There is no doubt about the anxiety, the eager desire there is in speculative circles todoso. That ig the feeling here and advices from Chicago indicate the same feeling exists there. Four- fifths of the local talent, more particularly the scalping element, are out fora bull turn, andifthey get the influences running their way they will ‘‘whoop ’erup’’ as hard and fastas they can. There is supposed to bea considerable shortage in the markets and there is a good deal of banking upon the be- lief that Pardridge of Chicago and Kauffman of St. Louis haveenormous short lines out. If this latter is so, it willnot render the task of running the shorts in as easy as if the shortage was scattered and more general, as ittig much easier to get a crowd running when the market is working against them than it is Ohne or two men, especially when these one or two men have such profits in their lines and money back of them that Pardridge and Kauffman are supposed to have. Several attempts that have been made this spring to start these plungers have fizzed ignomin- fously and, if this last move—if it is at- tempted—fails, the bulls might as_ well throw upthe sponge. ‘here are several pos- sibilities in the near future that may help along this bull movement, if it gets a good stdrt. Just now it looks asthough the next visible report would show another large de- crease and if it does Bradstreet will make the decrease much larger. The amount on Passage may also be again considerably: re. ddced, and another large cut in the available supply on land and sea might have an ex- citing influence. ‘Then New York, it is stated, . will clear an enormous amount for Europe, as France, in expectation of the import duty that goes into effect Junei, has ordered the wheat bought for herto be shipped at once in order to reach her shores before that date. Another consideration is the probability of some wet weather in the Northwest, a very low barometrical area having worked into that section and made rains very robable. Another spell of wet weather in he Northwest would strengthen thecry of delayed seeding in North Dakota and North- ern Minnesota, which already ts usedasa menace to short sellers. Qutside these probabilities and sentiment, the situation in wheat is as strongly bearish as it has been. European wants have not increased one whit, andit is certain that nearly all the ex- rt business reported of late at the seaboard and elsewhere is old business; nor, with the papeont dullness and depression prevailing road, can any material increase in this foreign demand be looked for. On this side, with improving prospects for winter wheat, most of the spring wheat s@éeded and a larger acreage put in than ever, the cash markets dulland drooping every- where, alarger movement from the country prot. ableand speculation simply stagnant, the condi- tions outside the contingencies noted above do not favor any run-away markets. During the past week the market generally hung around in an irresoiute good for adecent scalp. July soldas high as 803c and ug. 79candaslow as 7 and 78%c respectively. ‘ihe close of yesterday gawseliers of July at 79le@5ec and TUiec bid and Aug. 79c, or about lec over the preceding Saturday’s close. - = 7 Three weeks ago the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH stated the May ‘ghost had been exorcised, orin other words the May wheat deal was atan end. During the past week the May longs have been seek- ing settlements, and allowing the shortsto get out pretty much on their own terms, About the only short ofany consequence was John W. Kauffman, tnd he covered probably a half million bu, in which were large profits.'I'‘he fact that the party who is sup- sed to be the principal! long will shortly leave for Seeope to be gone ali summer, is one reason for this the shorts and accepting their terms for Another was the dragging cash market, the steadily downward tendency of which lately has hed a demoralizing effect upon holders of May contracts. Still another was the prob- ability of increased receipts. During the past two days peop have averaged nearly 30,000 bu and for the week the total was 113.235 bu, exceeding the week before by 2,500 bu and corresponding week last ear by 20,000 bu. The stock so far this past week decreased 73,500 bu and is now 305.300 bu, but No. 2 red was 47.200 bu yesterday morning and that was only 2,200 bu decrease. May did sell upto Sc early in the week, but from that slid down to S3lec and closed yesterday at 84c, or Sec below the close of eceding week. There was not much of a cash emand, as the description of wheat exporters might have taken was not here, few outside orders camein and iocal miliers bought sparingly. Now that cash end May have drawn nearly together tte city millers may take hold worefreely aid several wills now closed down expect shortiy to resume run- ming. Early in the week No. 2red sold at 86u@ 66%c and No, 3 red at. 83c, but yesterday No. 2 red was down to 83%&c, No. 3 red to 80c and No. 4 winter to 74\ec. * * * A further large reduction in the stock, no increase to speak of in the movement to market, and the weather not altogether favorable, yet must of the buli bas simmered out of corn. It was the May op- tien that received the worst blow, the probability that menipuilation had let up inWhicago, the dead- mess in the cash article and advices that the country bad commenced to move and offer their holdings, once more wiping out the artificial strength that Jately existed inthat month. Less than a week ago May commanded a premium of le overJuly, and now they are about on equal terms again. There has been very .s! speculation in corm ana no very changes in price. May sold up S77%e@38c, and off to SON» and July from 36% to 365gc. The close of yesterday saw buyers of May at 36%c and of July at 36%c. For the week ,350 bu was received against 202,280 bu the week before, and 808,580 bu for corresponding week last year. Yesterday morning’s stock of 492,- 400 bu 5,800 bu was No. 2—was 428,000 bu de- crease so far for the week and of over 2,000,000 bu for the month of April. Thecash market bas been almost lifeless. One lot of 40,000 b prised the takings by- exporters wants of shippers who buy for and South and of local manufacturers and feeders were insignificant. Early inthe week No. 2 sold at B9c and No. 3 at 3&c, but the former was down yes- terday to 38c and No. 3 could not then be sold above 83ic. Sample offerings were so much larger and composed mainly of milling stock and white and owen pratoe that local millers. neglected the latter and they dropped back in value. Yesterday No. 2 white sold at4lc, No. 3 white at 395¢c and No.3 color at 38c. . _ . . Liquidation has been the chief feature of the oat merket.

They also say lowa and Nebraska have pleaty of the old aNp on hand that must be marketed before long, and they consequentiv look foran increased move- mentinthe near future. The demand for the cash article has been disgustingly smaii ali the late week. This market had no outlet in the shape of a market or markets to ship to,and the sellers were dependent most of the time upon the local trace.

The labor troubles in England have about counter- acted the otherwise strong influence on this side. Spinners are reported to be sellers of futures in Liv- erpool on the theory that the lock ent will decrease consumption. and have a tendency to depress prices. All the reports from the South indicate a decrease in the acreage of the next crop, Bradstreets’ reports received in reply to 33, inquires show a decrease of 30 to ercent in the amountof fer- tiifzers used and a décrease of 20to 25 per cent in acreage. The condition of the cotton market is strong from the American standpoint and only re- quires a settiement of the English labor troubles to causeasharpadvance. Futures at New York have about held the advance of last week. The Aug. op- tion only shows a loss of 2 points at the close yester- day as compared with a week ago. Business in local spots has been fair. considering that some of the for- eign buyers have been handicapped by the depression abroad. and the shipments were Chat From ’Change. Congressman Hatch, it is said, will makea strong effort to have his anti-option bill brought before the House this week. - * One of the boys who saw *‘Temperance Town’’ at the Grand last week swears the horse and buckboard that Mink Jones drives on the stage is the same that Ashton Peyinghaus, Contracting Agent of the Southwestern, owns and drives. = > - Beginning in July and running through August, the Chicago Board of Trade will close on Saturday at the hour of noon. The Merchants’ Exchange mem- bers were 80 generally dissatisfied last summer with their 12 o’clock Saturday closing that it is doubtful if they repeat the experiment this vear, though closing of the Commercial Board July 1 may induce them to dv so. ” * * * **The grain pit reminds me of astory,’’ remarked John H. Tracy, as an unusually strong outburst of vocal power went from the traders there. ‘*A Mis- sourl man contracted with a hotel keeper to furnish a wagon load of frogsa week. He.appeared on the appointed day with three little frogs. ‘Where are the rest of them?’ inquired the landlord. ‘*That’s all there were in the pond,’ the man meekly said. ‘But they made sc much noise thatI thought there Was a million of ’em.’’’ * * = An early resumption of Chicago quotations seems very probable now. The ony question is, Will the Chicago Board of Trade collect and control their own quotations or will they sell them to the Western Union? Col. Clowry, General Superintendent of the Western Union, will probably be in the city this week and itis understood his presence here is in connection with this quotation question. It is also stated on the quiet that with a resumption of Chi- cago quotations the Western Union, and, of course, the Postal, will give a 10-cent rate between Boards of Trade. - a 2 Unless some special action is taken or fresh inter- est in it revived, the Commercial Board, on and after July 1, promises to be a thing ofthe past: The lease on their present quarters then expires and they just about have funds enough on hand to run them thatlong. Since afternoon trading was done away with and the hour put in at the Commercial Board entirely devoted to privilege trading, interestin the board has gradually died out and the attendance has rown thinner and thinner, and there has been more Gorse play than actual business. . a _ During the past week the usual report of the Board of Agriculture on the crop yields of 1891 was issued, and, although much of the substance has appeared in prelfminary reports, there is stilla sufficiency of new light thrown on the matter to give interest to the fuller details, says the London Times of the 15th inst. The entire country being taken together, estimated gross produce and the yieid acre in 1891 of the crops distinguished in these returns for the United Kingdom, exclusive of the Isleof Man and Channel Islands (which render tothe Board of Agriculture no statistios of produce), are compared in the following table with similar estimates for 1890: a Yield per — acre. | — 1890. | 1891. } 1890.

Enthnsiasrtic entomologists believe that the de- vastation of the farmers’ crops by the chinch bug will be stopped forever. The bug isto be exter- minated by the spreading among the species of a deadly infectious disease. Jl rof. F. H. Snow, State eutomologist of Kansas, who has long been experi- menting with this mode of exterminating chinch bugs, says: ‘‘As long agoas 1865 it was observed that chinch bugs occasionally disappeared from infected regions in @a& most mysteri- ous manner. Careful search would reveal that on the ground myriads of bugs lay dead. An entomolo- gist of excellent repute called attention in 1865 to snch a disappearance asI have described. He de- clared it as his opinion thatthis disappearance was due to the existence ofan epidemic disease among the bugs. Prof. S, A. Forbes, State Entomologist of lilinois, in 18&2 began his observations upon the bodies of chinch bugs taken from regions where one these marked disappearances had = re- occurred, and he soon announced discovery of a bacterial organism, undoubtedly the usual agency in the production of an epidemic among chinch bugs. Field experiment- ing in 1891 was conducted on a large scaie. During the season infection was furnished to about 2,000 farmers, chiefiv in Kansas. I received in all 1,400 re. ports from farmers stating the results of their exper- iments. Of these reports 1,072 indicated successful results from the use of the infection, 181 unsuccess- ful and 147 may be classedas doubtful. Thus of all experiments over 76 per cent were successful,’’ = - * **WhenI got home froma European tripI made in ’86,’’ remarked Moses Fraley, **I was out some $40,000 on short wheat I hed sold beforelI left this country. France was short 65, on her crop and I had heard so much taik on the other side of shortcrops and the demand there was for wheat that Icame back builish. We, that is the Fraley- Carter Co., had an office in Chicago then, and when I arrived in Chicago | hunted up Jack Cudady, Norm Ream and some of the other big guns there, and lay- ing the situation before them,I proposed to goin with them and buy a couple million wheat fora bull turn. Wheat was selling then about 7llge, but neither Cudahy. norany of the others would listen tome. Isuppose they were short. I saw Nat Jones and he wouldn’thaveit, either. I sappme he was short. Then I hunted up Vld Hutch. found him at his clubcooking a becfsteak and l laid the matter before him. ‘Why, young man,’ said Huteh, ‘wheat will sellat40c.’ l left determined never to speak to him again. Whenl went on the board, a broker named MacFarlane, who had it in for me, came and madeahiuff, offering tosell me a half million at 7iMc. I took 100.000. An ex-Indianapoliscommission merchant declares the firm in the business here enjoys several advant- ages over the smaller markets. He asserts that Indianapolis has not even a price current for the guidance and convenience of the commission mer- chant and every man must make up his own price current in posting a shipper. Thus in the morning when the stuff comes in a man does not know what to ask it and no market reports to refer to, and as to do some lively guessing as to what will catch the buyer and save him from being beaten by his _ neigh- bor orrival. He states that they finally established a produce exchange, which started olt with fiying banners. Then the merchants signed an agreement to charge drayages on al! shipments or orders going by freight, anceded move in the right direction. Within a week one of the signers of the document violated the agreement and selicited adaitional trade on the ‘*no drayage’’ platform. The firstone of his competi- tors who learned ofthe broken treaty was 60 pro- voked over the unwelcome news he visited at once the premises of a retail liquor dealer, got very fuli, and then being in condition to argne loud and deep and inianguage harsh and strung, went for the recreat brother before the other victims—one after another being visited. Thecomplete disruption of the Produce Exchange followed, and noweach firm is going it alone in the wide, wide world, ON THE STREET.

THE FIGURES NOW REACH $7,000,000 AND ARE GROWING. Decline in the Rates for Sterling Ex- change on Account of the Heavy Ship ments—The Street’s Tradition About Exports of Gold—Dealings of the Day in Stocks and Bonds. New YorK, April 30.—The export movement of gold begun last Saturday has been con- tinued this week. To-day $4,500,000 went out, making in round humbers $7,000,000 since the present movement began. Apparently Messrs, Lazard Freres knew what they were talking about when they said that the pres- ent exports would mount up to considerable figures, or at least had received intimations ofsuch orders. It would be interesting to know whetherthey look upon $7,000,000 asa considerable figure, or whether that sum is simply astarter. On this point they have not freed their minds. Atradition exists in the street that gold cannot be profitably exported ;when demand exchange is under $4.89 per pound. As de- mand exchange has not ruled at that figure “during the pasttwo years the street, in its usual filppant style, has characterized the gold shipments, which, during that period, have been tremendously large, as special ones, unjustified by rates of sterling ex- change and representing no profits to the shipper. Whether they were justified or not wasa matter for the shippers themselves to decide. The shippers might also be supposed to be the best judge of whether there was any profit inthetransaction. An- other way of putting the case has been that Europe was paying a premium for gold. The fact seems to be that as the demand for gold in Europe has steadily increased the price which the Europeans have been willing to pay for American gold has increased, Con- sequently there has béen &@ profitin shipping gold while sterling exchange was ruling at 4.87 to 4.882. The result has been a steady and perceptible decline inthe rates for sterling exchange ruling at the time of the exports of old, est will be interesting to watch the future course ofthe sterling exchange amarket and see whether this tendency™ continues. Whether it does or not will depend on whether the demand for European gvild continues to increase relatively to our own. Of course Europe cannot have our gold without paying for it, elther in commodities or securities, or rhaps later in gold; that, is Europe may De hee ara gold .of us nowtobe paid back sometime in the future. Wereferred last week tothe increase in our imports as one reason for the exports of gold. This has been explained to be due to imports of coffee in January, February and March amouting to’ $36,477,012, against $24,559,920 in 1891. This is the result of a heavy speculation in coffee and of the reciprocity proclamation imposin a duty of 8 cents per pound on Venezeula an Colombia coffee shipped after March, 1, 1892. Inanticipation of this shipments were rushed forward. THE STOCK MARKET. The older and wiser a man grows the less he knows about stock markets. Unless one knows of orders to buy or sellin the market his opinion about its future course is not usually worth the breath consumed in ex- ressing it. Even when he knows something hat the general public does not know, he cannot tell how the general public will re- ceive it. Few men would have ventured to predict that the stock market would advance sharply on the news that $4,500,000 had been taken forexport. Yet such was the case yes- terday, and the stock market closesthis week higher than it did a week ago. Probably the explanation—in case itis worth while to ex- lain such things at all—is to be found in the act thatsome persons had a pretty clear idea last week or the amount of gold to be ex- ported this week, and that such sellingas would have resuitea in any event as a se- quence of this news took place last week and early this week. Onthese gold exports and on the result of the Union Pacific election the bears oversold the market in the period which ended Thurs- day morning, and since that time they have been trying to get back the stocks which were sold, Whenthis movement ends the market will be again in condition fora little spurt upward or downward according as its ten- dency may be. The real teudency of the market at the present time is a puzzle of the most perplexing kind, the dullness, the absence of buying power, the present high prices and the gold exports al ‘seem to favor the bears. But upon the other _- 4dthe bears must be very much discour- ~ 4.04 when they compare to-day’s prices with those of February and see how very slight has beenthe decline during the past ten weeks fromthe highest figures reached since the spring of 1590. The high water mark for prices has been sustained ap- parently withouteffort, It has been the nat- ural sequence of one great factor, namely, the abnormal ease of the money market. While general trade continues so depressed and railroad securities the best return on the * investment the bears will find that they are climbing a greased pole. RAILWAY EARNINGS, The netearnings of railroads forthe month - of March have been watched for with the keenest interest... With one exception the re- turns ofall the large railroads which have come to hand have been of a highly favorable character, showinga good rate of increase as compared with thenet earnings of one year ago, Among these railroads were St. Paul, Burlington, Reading, Pennsylvadia and Den- ver & Kio Grande, all representative systems. The road poums only a nominal increase was the ©., ©., C. & St. L. The great South- western systems are yet to be heard from. The excelieht showings made have come as agreeable surprises, as unquestionable authorities have pronounced the rate cut- ting throughout the West during March, the worst on record. The natural §se- quence of _ rate cutting is reduced net earnings. The explanation of the increases reported is to be found in the fact that March of 1891 was a lean period, as the railroads were then carrying the small crops of 1890. It is to be noted also that the net earnings of the Southwestern railroads are yet to be made*public. In the case ofthe Atchison the gross earnings have lately made avery poor showing. This it is thought in- dieates that the net will make even a poorer showing. YOUNG GOULD’S STROKE. The interesting news of the week has been young Gould’s snatching of the Union Pacific system from the foreign holders. The latter have forsome months past been asserting, with a great deal of noise, that they held the roxies to wrest the system from Gould con- rol. At the eleventh hour young Gould ay got together a majority of proxies and defeateu the foreign holders at the election held on Wednesday. It was a clever stroke and the methods employed were characteris- tic ofthe name of theemployer. Opinion is widely at variance on the question whether the result will prove a goon thing for the stockhoiders or not. A philosophical view would be thatthe road did extremely well last year under Gould management,and there is no reason to think that it will do worse _ Mext year. To-morrow will be a dey of great moment in Europe. The May Day Celebrations of the Anarchists and Socialists are looxed forward to with more than the customary amount of , apprehension. Butif precedent is any guide it seems probable that the demonstration will be only such as may be easily controlled by the authorities, who are fully prepared. . The Anarchist movement hasnot grown to sufficient proportions to be a financial factor as yet; but it is easily imaginable that It may. It is one of the thingsto be borne in mind when considering future financial conditions. THE PIVOTAL STOCK. In to-day’s limited session of the New York k Exchange the bulk of the speculative interest hovered around Reading, which ee: etelyd monopolized a considerable pertion of the total transactions and formed the piv- otalstock. President McLeod was out in an- other interview as to the property. The com- pase raised coal prices to the local trade in hiiadelphia l0cents aton. It was rumored that the Arnot suit be with- d and a circulated company - ad bought the Silver Creek an Morris Coal property, as as some wharf pepparty at Chicago, West Superior ana st, Paul. Ali these things apparently srightenes the bearish element into covering freely, and it was stated that the principal operators on the short —, — side of the account brought in a large amount of stock. ‘The rise in the price, however, was only % and appearances indicated con- emorane realizing on the part of the bull in-. erest. The other coalers were strong at first, chiefly in sympathy with the Reading, Dut an advance df 1% in Delaware & Hudson was due mainly to a report that the Vanderbilts: were to be given a liberal representation in the new board. Jersey Central advanced % # £=but Lackawanna lagged. The Vanderbilt stocKs presented 5 strong front, New York Central rising 1%, Michigan Central 1, Lake Shofe % ahd others to a smaller extent. The usual run of active renee recorded early gains of only about and lacked activity. After the demand trom the shorts at Reading had been Satisfied that stock deciined 1% from the top and closed 5% below last night. The other coalers also weakened. Lackawanna left off at a net iloss. of and Jer- sey Central was unchanged. Delaware & Hudson reacted somewhat, but retained % of the advance, The sales of listed stock forthe day aggregated 133,00 shares, including 69,- 200 Reading, 5,700 New England, 5,600 Lacka- wanna, 3,300 Erie, 2,500 Atchison, 8,000 St. Paul, 2,600 Louisville, New Alabany & Chi- cago, 2,563 Western Union, 2,400 Cordage, 2,800 Northern. Pacific preferred, 2,100 dis- tiller and 1,991 Delaware & Hudson. OTHER PROMINENT PROPERTIES. The net result of the day’s trading in the prominent shares not already given was a de- Cline of %@% in Atchison, C. ©. UC. & 8t. Louis, St. Paul, Rock Island, Burlington & Quincy, Louisville & Nashville, Missouri Pacific, Northern Pacific preferred, Union Pacific, Westérn Union and Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred.’ On the other hand there was a net advance of & to iin Canada Southern, Northwestern, Lake shore, Wheeling & Lake Erie common, New York Central and Michigan Central. Although not active, the specialities that figure in the sales ‘generally command higher figures. Kvansville & Terre Haute and Pullman each rose 1, but later ran off 1@1%4, while Kansas & Texas preferred, Tennessee Coal & Iron and Rio Grande Western preferred ad- vanced #@1. The Minneapolis & st.

The banks have done a fair business during the past week both at the counters and in discounts. Money continues easy. This is due more tothe low prices of all the staples thanto business inactivity. The general mercantile and manufacturing trade of the city never was In a more prosperous con- dition, but the absence of speculation Is very apparent when large operators in grain have been able to borrow money on close callat 4per cent. This however is not the usual bank rate and is caused by the light stocks as well as the low prices of grain. The majority of call loans made by the banks are at5 percentand time discounts range from 6to7 percent, Considerable capital is being investedin bonds that will furnish a remun- erative rate of interest which is causinga good demand for this class of securities, but the local stock market is very quiet. Gaylord, Blessing & Co. review the stock market in New York Saturday: Reading has been the feature of to-day’s market. It opened higher, with considerable public buying. The press influence is almost unan- imousiy in favor of the Reading combina- tion and there are many signs of a public interest belng excited in the stock. At the advance the clique which has been manipu- lating the stock for a long time sold freely. They will probably be ready to buy when the stock declines to 59 or 58. Aside from these stocks there is absoluteiy no feature tothe market. The bank statement was colorless. London sold a few stocks, but as Monday isa holiday there their operations were of no account. Total sales, 140,500 shares. - CLEARING-HOUSE STATEMENT. Clearings. 3,641,638 22,820,1 24,471,724 20,193,231 ; { 103,381,629 15,963,350 89,499,552 9,998,220 $ 13,882,047 15.5 per cent Balances.

Frank Tesson, the man with a bullet in his brain, died at the City Hospital yesterday morning. His case has attracted much attention on account of the mystery which at first surrounded the iden- tity of the man, alsofromthe circumstances ofthe shooting, and fromthe fact that the bullet penetrated his Drain. Tesson came to this city from his home in Wisconsin. He wentocn a spree, and, while under the in fluence of liquor, went out to Forest Park and shot himself. After the shooting he re- turned to the city on the Chouteau avenue electric cars and secured a room at the O’ Nell Hotel, From the hotel he was removed to the hospi- tal. He was delirious at times for twoor three weeks, and in his rational moments would give no information in regard tothe shooting, or teli who he was or where he came from, butthe information wanted was eventually drawn outof him. The doctors suggested to Tesson that the ball might be extracted, but he refused to submit to an op- eration, saying that he would rather die with the bulletin his brain than risk a surgical operation. The Coroner will hold an inquest to-day. a ee BOCK BEER. The celebrated Bock Beer brewed by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association will be served at all their customers’ Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

A Large Increase in the Number of Trans- attions Consummated— The Demand for Home Sites Growing—-The Weekly and Monthly Record—Agents’ Reports. An improvement in the weatber during the past week has largely increased the demand and sale of property. Since the last review 287 transfers have been filed for record. In other words forty-seven more sales have been made within the past week than were ever closed before during a corresponding lapse of time in the spring season up to May 1. There was only one auction during the week, and that was not a large one, Yesterday there were two import- ant public ,éales, particulars about which Will be found in this department of the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. Next week the real estaie market will be practically opened with a very attractive auction sale at3o0’clock on Monday, and that will be followed with oth- erslateron until Saturday, when auctions will again close the week’s work. The dates and places for each of these events will be found prominently announced in the adver- tising columns of this paper, and reference to them will be mafle inthe news columns of the PosT+DISPATCH next weck. The tendency of the market is now decid- edly. in the direction of residence property, comparatively but a small number of sales in that class of realty having been made up to the present time this spring on account of cold, rainy weather, but since the season appears to have settled lively times may be expected from now on until summer vaca- tions are in order. Nearly 2,C00 front feet in North Forest Park piace were sold last week. This is fancy residence property that is commanding from $75 to $100a foot, and cheaper sites in other localities in close proximity to rapid transit lines are growing in demand daily at $15 to $30 a foot for lots to be improved in new sections not yet established. Last week a $20,000 syndicate Was organized to develop property inthe Mount Uabanne tract, and the northwest corner of Union and Delmar avenues, 580x405 feet was sold for $60,000, but not to D. R. Francisas previously reported, A lot of 25x109 feet on Olive street, opposite the Exposition Building, sold at $880 a foot, and a twenty-eighth interest in the Insurance Exchange Building property, Broadway and Olive street, was bought for $12,500. These constitute the principal events of the market since the last review.

Consequently 1891 is referred to in real estate circles of this city as the great single lot year. During that year the greatest num- ber of sales made in one week up to this sea- son were consummated during the week end- ing May 2, the record for that period of six days being 240 sales, that is forty-seven less than for the last past week ofr 1892. This feature of the increased number of gales in- dicates a most healthy condition of the mar- ket just asit didlastyear. It isan evidence of less speculative buying and a growing tendency onthe part of the masses to pur- chase property for actual use rather than for venturesome and unduly enthusiastic specu- lation.

Williams of Carthage and J. C. Geyer of Neosho, about one hundred and twenty-five delegates, representing buliding associaions from all parts of the State of Missouri, assembled at Moberly, Mo., on the 27th and 28th ult., for the purpose of organ- izing a State League. The convention was com posed of some of the leading men in the State, from its p rofessional and business interests, all fuli of enthusiasm for the suc: eess of the work and the discharge of the du- ties arising therefrom that rested upon them. The building association interests outside of St. Louls were particularly well represented. Men of such prominence and influence as Col. E. H. Phelps of Kansas City, Hon, J. W. Alexander of Gallatin, ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Judge C. P. Hess of Macon were present as delegates, hand in hand with less noted delegates from other points of the State, working and advis- ing as ifthe destiny of the country was at stake. Theimpression left an observer was that the building and loan association inter- ests, hitherto considered secondary to the banking and insurance interests, were fast rising, ifthey had not already risen, to an importance equal to either of these. State leagues Of building associations have been found to do inestimable good in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and other States where they have been organizedand are in operation, hence it did not take the rep- resentative building association men of Mis- souri long after they ygot together to deter- mine on the advisability of instituting one in this State. Needed legislation, governmental inspection, uniform business methods—these gave the keynote to the whole proceedings and formed the foundation for.a State League that has given a new impetus to the building association business of Missouri along safe lines of development. What has heretofore been everybody’s busi- ness was no Man’s business, and conse- quently the Missouri legisiation relative to building associations has been of the crudest and most imperfect character. However, under the direction of the State League, now organized and through the co-operation of its 150 members, which it is ho wil in- creased to 350 within a short time, such fav- orable and restrictive enactmerts as may be suggested by its Lexislative Committee, of which Hon. J. W. Alexander is Chairman, will no doubt receive the aperores of legis- lators at Jefferson City, and be placed upon the statute books of the State. The organization of the State League is a splendid achievement, and every man who has a dollar invested in building associations, or who contemplates investing in them, should feel grateful to the men who have worked so faithfully for its accomplishment. The officers elected were an excellent se- lection, and a guarantee, so far as the carry- ing out of the purposes of the organization is concerned and the promotion of what ts best for the up-bullding of buiiding associations in this territory, that nothing shall be left undone to accomplish that end, For President the unanlimouis choice was David H. Stewart of St. Louis; First Vice- President, Col. E. H. Phelps of Kansas City; Second Vice-President, Chas. Houston of Mexico; Third Vice-President, Mr. Lapham of Springfield ; Secretary, Boyd Dudle of Gal.- latin, and Dr. J. R. Clarkson of Moberly as Treasurer, With an Executive Committee composed of the President, Secretary and Treasurer as ex-officio, and Elmer Webster of Joplin,P. J. Stafford of Sedalia,Dr. Thomas Proctor of Monroe City, H. KE. Patterson of Kirksville, and Messrs. A. A. B. Woerheide, G. W. Davis, J. W. Bergfeld and Chas, F. Vogel of st. uls. The convention was unanimous in adoptin resolutions Genouncing all associations an investment companies, other than iocal ones managed by local men for the benefit of local homeseekers and investors, the ‘‘Nationals’’ especially being unmercifully criticised. It was also the sense of the meeting that it was of vital moment that the building associa- tions should be placed under the supervision of a State Inspector. A public meeting of the Rovert Emmet Building & Loan Association was held at the office of the Secretary 7 Easton avenue last Friday evening. it was largely attended and over three hundred shares were ‘ making a total of about seven hundred shares already Sqeens of. The meeting was called to order by Vice-President McBurney. Julius C. Garrell addressed the meeting in an able speech, aps etree em workings of the asso- tion so thoroughly that no one felt dissat- isiied with having purchased shares ina the association. Charles F. Vogel, Secretary of the National Building & Loan Association, states that the folowing named gentlemen were elected as directors to serve for the ensuing year; Emil Hausmann, Henry F. Niedringhaus Charles G. Bowman, Emanuel Stover, John H. Deems, James A. Harris, Charies , Charles F. Vogel, Charles Wehking, Sr., Hunt and Wm. Orr. Officers wfll be elected May 10, 1892.

The work on the White Cap progresses very fast, and the development of the so-called **gold ore chute’’ has been such as to aston- isheventhe management. In addition to this gold ore, the lead carbonate shipments, which, however, also carry gold, are kept up to avout thirty-five tons a day. The drift run tothe south from the 600 foot level has penetrated the lime-porpbyry contact, and as prospecting continues will doubtless get into anore body there, as former develop- ments ata higher plane proved its existence. WORK ON THE SMUGGLER. Near by by the Smuggler people are still continuing their development, though the only shaft now being worked to any extent is the so-called Clarke, onthe hill above the main sheft. Here the lessees have about the same showing as madein the Lime adjoin- ing, and the prospects are that good ore will be found, the Lime lessees now getting a class of lead carbonate that averages about $45 a ton profit. A new camp has just been discovered about forty miles from Leadville, on the line of the Colorado Midland Rallway. This station is called Bath, and the veins of silver and lead ore are found between a stratum of blue carboniferous limestone and one of dolomite. The ore at the surface runs 60 per cent of lead to the ton and about twenty-three ounces of silver, which would appear to indicate that as depth was gained a steady improvement would be noticed. Already very prominent mining men from Aspen—whose contact it strongly resembles—are on the ground, have surveyed claims and are going in for a lot of work. Quite an excitement has been created there, though the first locaters have endeavored to keep the thing very quiet. Claims are now selling at fabulous figures, an Aspen man having declared himself as sayin that ‘‘Moliie Gibson at this depth never had such a showing.’’ EMPIRE GULCH. The Kansas City Mining Co. own a lot of ground located near the head of Little Union and Empire guiches.

et es z 4 te St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, Way 1, 1899, Six Thousand Determined Men Lynch Eph Grizzard. The Negro Fiend Hanged, Shot and Cremated. ew NASHVILLE'S AUTHORITIES POWERLESS BEFORE THE ANGRY MULTITUDE. At 2p. m. Yesterday the Jail Doors Were Forced, the Black Outrager Seized and Swung From a OGumbDerland River Bridge—Seven ofthe Lynchers Sit at a Coroner’s Jury—A Mob’s Fury. NASHVILLB, Tenn., April 80.—Terror and mob law have reigned supreme in Nashville to-day. Amobof 10,000 men stormed the County Jalil for the third time, and dragging ‘him out, lynched Eph. Grizzard, one of the negro fiends who outraged the Bruce girls near Goodletsville last Thursday, a brother of the Grizzard who was hanged to a Diack jack last Thursday. Last night a mob of 300men came in from Goodletsville, and Gov. Buchanan, with the aidofthe police, succeecied in persuading them at first and then driving them back. In last night’s melee two men were mor- tally wounded—Chariles Rear and A. B. Guthrie, the latter of whom lived in Nash- , Ville,and was the engaged lover of Mary Bruce. Both are dead. At 5 o'clock this morning, the mob marched ‘off defeated. They rested four miles from the city and waited for reinforcements. People swarmed into Nashville from sur- rounding towns and thecountry in wagons and on trains, fully 6,000 of them, and stayed onthe square during the morning. They came from twenty towns and were sworn to lynch Eph Grizzard and Chief of Police Clock and Police Sergeant Davis, who shot the two men last night. Every man was given orders to be ready at the given signal. A WARNING. ° _A deputation of citizens headed by a prom- inent wholesale grocery merchant of Nash- ville waited on Mayor Guild and served this notice on him: We do not want to shed a single drop of blood. We have come for Eph Grizzard and we are going to have him. Take away your police or we will shoot them down like dogs. Mayor Guild said he had to protect the city. Early in the day a wealthy merchant of Goodlettsville mounted a dry goods box. and ‘after describing the awful outrage of the girls, which brought tearsinto the eyes of thousands, hetold them to be ready. Men sobbed like babies, and frenzied cries went up. The leaders then went back for reinforce- ments. The huge crowd was swelled to 10,000 by eympathizing cttizens of Nashville. Pistols were openly carried, and truck wagons were loaded with shotguns for the finalattack. At noon Gov. Buchanan Issued a proclamation asking that the mobdisperse, and pledging himself personally to see that justice was done. This was hooted and jeered at. Down atthe jailon Front street, a hundred yards below, rumors were coming in that the attack wasto be madeat 3 o’clock. An attempt was made to smuggie out Eph Grizzard by Jailer Willis. He had Grizzard _. dressed asa woman, and would have carried “him away inten minutes, but arumor of this reathed the enormous crowd. At 1:50 o’clock Dr. Davis called order on the pavement in front of a saloon onthe public square. He stated that a committee of three would be appointed to demand Eph Grizzard. Who would volunteer? A dozen men stepped forward. Then the crowd started with a shout toward and down Front street. In the rear of the Brandon Printing Co.’s building a halt was called and a committee of three was sent tothe jail. The lock on the fmimense iron gates had been broken tile night before and entrance was easily effected. Jailer Willis was met inthe hall. TOOK NO DENTAL, **‘Mr. Willis,’’ said the spokesman, very quietly, ‘‘we have come for Grizzard.’’ Jailer Willis drew back, saying: ‘‘Gentle- men, itis my duty to protect whatever pris- oners are in this jail.’’ Three hands seized Mr. Willis. He was bent back and the keys taken from his pocket. Jailer Willis had just come from the cage, where he had been dressing Ephin women’s clothes. Thousands of people watched the awful affair from the tops of adjoining build- ings. After the Keys had been secured, one of the Committee told Jailer Willis that he would go in and get Eph, while the other two held him and prevented the other prisoners from es- caping. Cheer after cheer rose from the mob outside. ‘*‘Remember your wives, your daughters and your mothers!’’ was the cry. Then the committee of three appeared and between them was the biack head of Eph Grizzard. Not a shot had been fired, and no sound ex- cept intermittent cheering had been made, but at the sight of the black flend the mob and spectators burst forth into an exultant cry. Around his neck was a rope. A wiid rush was then made for the square, those about him siapping his head with open palms and Eph crying:. **Quit hitting me and I’ll go.’’ SWUNG OFF. He was jerked down and dragged over the rough cobble stones, his eyes and tongue protruding. From the square the mob rushed to the Cumberland River suspension bridge. The negro was thrown over the bridge and dropped fifteen feet. He was hauled up again and dropped again. Thistime his neck was broker. Fifty shots were fired into his body. Fifty thousand people viewed the swinging body. Cries then went up for Chief of Police Clack and Sergeant Davis, who shot the two men the night before. ‘‘Hang them!’’ was shouted, but they could not be founda. Both had aisguised themselves and fied to the country. Had the two officers been caught nothing could have saved them, The body hung for an hour and then was cut down and carried to Combs’ undertaking shop. Members of the mob composed the jury of seven. The verdict rendered was: Eph Grvizard came to his ceath from violence a the hands of persons unknown to the jury,from gtn- shot wounds and strangulation by rope. CREMATED, The body, withthe rope tightly about its neck and shot to pieces, was dumped into an old pine box and placed in a broken-down wagon, Fourof the mob sat upon it, each with a double-barreled shot- gun,anda clear- ing was made through the dense crowd. The body was put on the train and taken to Good- lettsville, where the face was shown to the outraged family. A huge bonfire was then kindled and on it was the body. Fuel was heaped on and Eph Griggard’s mangled body was burned. While everybody here condemns mob law, such crimes as that for which the two negroes were hanged deprive the perpetrat- ors by common consent from the slower and more uncertain processes of the law. Guthrie, who was shot in yesterday’s at- tack on the jail, made a dying statement that Police Sergeant Davis deliberately shot him and knocked him down without provocation. The mob have sworn to hang Davis on sight, but that officer has left the city. No other trouble is feared and one-half the crowd have left the city. LAST NIGHT'S TRAGEDY, The work of the mob last night shows that the plan was all mapped out beforehand and the men knew who was to iead them. Karly in the evening it was noticed that an unusually large numberof men from the country were inthecity. Oningquiry it was lgarned that the citizens of Goodlettsville hac decided that Eph Grizzard was the man with Henry Grizza (the latter already hanged) who had committed the assault on the Bruce ris last Thursday. As the night wore on nots of men stood about the corners, and at midnight there was a multitude on the public square, As the clock struck 1 two _ signif- cant whistles were heard. Ati1:05 o’clock a “ane ge was heard coming from up the street. **Here they come,’’ said someone inside the jail. He was right, as two or three hundred men were seen coming down the street. Chief Clack immediately detailed all his available men to come tothe jail. As soon as the head of the mobreacheéd the jail gate an impera- tive ring of the bell sounded, but admittance was refused. A dozen men were on the fence, but those who had already gotten over broke the lock ofthe gate. The leader, a middle- aged man, wearing a slouch hat, broke wide open the wooden gate and yelled to the crowd, ‘‘Come in here!’’ The crowd then surgedin with a whoop. One man had aropeinhis hand, another a sledge-hammer. Noneof them were dis- ulsed. Acall was made for Sheriff Hill, e appeared and the leader told him the crowd wanted to get at leastone of those negroes. The man with a hammer began to batter on the outside door to the cell. Rising above the blows ofthe sledge ham- mer rang the cries of ‘‘Remember our homes,’’ ‘*Think of our wives and our mothers.’’ The blows made no more impression than if they were beating witha sand bag, andat 1:30 o’ clock they grew tired of their work. ‘*The keys! the keys!’’ the mob shouted. At 1:45 Gov. Buchanan and Adjt.-Gen. Nor- man, who had been awakened, made their way into the jail. The Governor mounted the crowded stepsand calledouttothe mob yelling ‘‘keys’’ and called them to order. He was unable to make himself heard, and he then pressed his way into the excited throng around the door. He attempted to speak, but his voice was drowned in the frenzy of yells for ‘‘keys,’’ *‘‘to the work; let us have them.’’ The Governor said: ‘‘I promise you that the law shall be vindicated,’’ ‘‘*The law is too slow. Wewon’t wait; we must bave Eph Grizzard to-night.’’ ‘*Gentlemen,’’ said the Governor, ‘‘there isnone more anxious to vindicate the law thanI. I pledge you my word that justice shall be done.’’ ‘*But, Governor, there was a sick child there who had been sick for two weeks, and they went there. Would you want your friends treated that way?’’ ‘*lTappeal toyou as your Governor to de- sist. Fonte a wife and children, and 1 swear to you that justice shall be done.’’ ibe words of the Governor were useless. A man with a crowbar arrived. He was greeted with yells. ‘*Break it open,’’ ‘‘To the work,’’ were the cries, The crow-bar was applied to the iron door and halfa dozen men grabbed hold of it. Gov. Buchanan grabbed the crow- bar and by main strength held it back fora moment, but was overpowered. He then retired into a corner room. The mob was_ successful, however. At 2:260’clock the mob was rein- forced and began battering with axes, clubs, etc. The policethensteod firm and beat them back with clubs. Then a shot was fired from without. This was returned by the officers. Noone inside was hurt, thouga several shots grazed the clothes of officers. The Governor then appealed to the crowd to desist, giving them his word that he would see that justice was given out. As it was growing early the mob decided to de- part, but not until they avowed their intention of returning anda hanging at least one of the prisoners. Not until after the crowd had dispersed wasthe result ofthe flring known. It then deveioped that N. L. Guthrie and Charles Rear were mortally wounded. Both men dled to-day. THE NEGRO’S CRIME. The outrage upon the two young ladies, daughters of Mrs. Lee Bruce, who lives near Gocdlettsville, 12 miles from Nashville, was committed at 2 o’clock on the morning of the 28th inst. Mrs. Lee Bruce is a widow whose husband died one month ago. She resides with her three daughters, aged 12, l4and 17 years respectively, at the Long Hollow turn- pike tollgate, halfa mile east of Goodletts- Ville. Last night, while several ladies living inthe netghborbood were sitting up with Mrs. Bruce’s youngest daughter, whois lying at the point of death with pneumonia, parties on the outside began throwing stones at the building, greatly frightening the inmates, This continued forsome timeand finally the windows were broken open and the dcors batteredin. Two negroes were seen and the ladies piteously pleaded with them to leave. Finally tney offered the negroes all the money there was inthe houseto goaway. The ne- groes pushed along plank through the win- dow and told the ladies to place the money on it, their object evidently being to keep out of the HNghtand escape identification. The or- der was obeyed, but the negroes, after secur- ing the money—about $8—became Very inso- lent and made the most iuvecent proposals to the irightened women. They presented re- volvers through a window and demanded that Misses Mollile and Sadie Bruce be sent into an adjoining room, swearing that unless this was done they would kill the entire party. The two sisters, who were wild,with frenzy and fully realized their helplessness, were forced atthe points of the revoivers to enter the other room, where they were criminally arsaulied, afterthey had madea brave and desperate struggle witli the inhuman brutes. The negroes then left and the poor women at once iniormeda neighbor of the outrage. Messengers were sent in every direction to arouse the people, and ina short time over 100 men heavily armed began searching for the dastardly assallants. ‘lIhey swore ven- geunce, and scattered over the country de- termined to capturethe negroes and put them to death as soon as proof of their guilt was obtained. Papers found tn the room where the assault was made fastened the crime upon Henry Grizzard. He was arrested and as tele- sraphed the day it occurred, was strung up by the infuriated people. Then John and Eph Grizzard and Mock Harper, all negroes, were taken into custody as ac- coinplices of Henry Grizzard. The officers in charge ofthe men started to Nashville, but on the way were overtaken by the mob who bad hanyved Henry, and a battle ensued in which the driver of the carriage in wnich the officers ‘were conveying their prisoners was seriously wounded. After being taken fromthe officers Harper and the Grizzards were returned to Goodlettsville, where they were surrounded by hundreds of men, and Harper begged earnestly for mercy. The mob took the three negroes to the home of the Misses Bruce, whocould not identify ei- ther of them and asked that they be not lynched. The mobthen turnedthe negroes over to Sheriff Hilland his deputies and they were brought to Nashville. A MURDEROUS STAGE ROBBER, HE KILLS A WOMAN AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDS TWO MEN, SAN ANDREAS, Cal., April 30.—The stage running from San Andreas to Sheep Ranc' was stopped this morning about five miles from here by a single masked highwayman who was lying behind a large log by the road side. Without any command or warning he discharged a shotgun loaded with buckshot and the shot took fatal effect, killing Miss Rodersino,a passenger. A.

They Will Present His Name Before the Minneapolis Convention. PLATT AND QUAY PULLING THE WIRES FOR THE MAINE MAN. Tho Strength of the Movement Lies Principally in the New England Stateés—Elements That Would Come to His Support—Gov. Hogg Fighting Hard for Re-Election Against Adverse Con- ditions—The Texas Campaign—Politics. “ WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—When the gtatement was made a few days ago that ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed was actively engaged, with a number of other prominent Republicans,in an effort to defeat the renom- nation of President Harrison, some friends of the administration attempted to secure a Genial of it. Mr. Reed, when he _ read the article, promptly admitted its truth. - A week ago Mr. Reed had joined the ranks of the President’s opyonents only to the ex- tent of agreeing to assist them in every way in his power. During the past week, however, it has been made apparent to the Republican party managers in Washington that Mr. Reed has come to the conclusion that there is afair chance for his. friends to bring about his nomination. Mr. Reed is a shrewd man and acold- | gates will be named tothe State Convention, Delegate Convention and the Court of Appeals Convention, were held to-night in all the wards of the city, and so far as heard from at a late hour the delegates elected were apparently solidly for Cleveland for President and for Gibson for Governor though there are hints that several will delegates were run in one or two wards and that Dalton will be the second choice of a number of the delegates in the Third and Eighth Wards. Ifthis report be true, how- ever, the delegates of that description will probably not be numerous enough to form a respectable bolt should one be indicated, The old-fashioned primaries were held, but there were no disturbances of a serious character, MOBERLY CONVENTION. Macon County held a delegate convention here to elect seven delegates to the Sedalia Convention, to be held May 11. Dr. R. Gal- laspy of La Plata was elected chairman, and Arthur F. Love of Macon, secretary. Hon, Web M. Ruby introduced a platform which was enthusiastically received and adopted after some lively discussion. The following Sedalia delegates were elected: S. L. Casey, Wm. H. Sears, Dr. R. Gillaspy, Dr. H. H. Abbott, Alexander Hud- son, Wm, Shireland, Robert Mitchel). They were instructed to vote asa unit, and they are all for Capt. Ben Eli Guthrie of Macon for First District delegate to Chicago. The newly elected Democratic Central Committee met this afternoon and elected Capt. Ben E. McCully, Secretary, This com- mittee called a County Delegates Convention to meet in Macon, May 16, to elect delegates tothe State Convention at Jefferson City, the Judicial Convention at St. Louis, the Appelate Judicial Convention at Kansas City, the Congressional Convention in First Dictrict, and the Sen- atorial and Judicial Circuit Convention. W. J. Sears was elected Judicial Committee- mah of this circuit. ‘The township and ward primaries to elect delegates to the above county convention will be heldon May id. The committee also ordered a primary elec- tion on June 11, tonomi{nate a county ticket. Ex-Senator Cotley of Knox County, candai- date for Congress, addressed the convention after adjournment this afternoon.

WARNER, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI, blooded politician, and when he goesinto a fight he does not doso asa matter of sentl ment, but because he has made a calculation that shows him to have a fair chance of win- ‘ning. He isa man of strong convictions and he was never in his life more earnest than he isinthe present determination to kill off Harrison. Mr, Reed is too good and too con- spicuous a Republican to say that he would be willing tosee Mr. Harrison beaten after his nomination. But his enmity is so bitter that itis not improbable that he might be pleased to See the Democrats win rather than have Harrison re elected. During the past week > fe Reed and some of his confidential friends imand out of Congress have been sounding the Republican teaders and they have received much more encouragement than they had reason to hope for at the beginning, and things have come to that pass that Mr. Reed is almost tempted to announce his candidacy now. if he does not do so, however, it will be ‘simply because he prefers to make a still hunt. He will depend for support in his ‘fight chiefly upon his friends in New England and it is thought if any large number of them should vote for-him in the convention the anti-Harrison managers from the various States would rally to his standard and con- centrate their combined strength upon him. Mr. Reed’s friends think that he can be rea- sonably sure of a large enough support in - New England to make hima promising pos- sibility. The enmity of Secretary Blaine and Senators Frye and Hale will of course pre- Ventthe Maine delegation from presenting Mr. Reed’s name as the candidate of the State, but heis not without friendsin the delegation already chosen and at least one of the delegates atlarge is a warm personal and political friend, who would be very glad to see Mr. Reed nominated as against all other candidates. In Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire Mr. Reed is particularly strong, and uptodate the President has not been able to capture very many delegates from these States. New England is only nega- tively for Harrison and it is thought its votes can be secured to Reed without much trouble, In New Hampshire the delegation will be al- most absolutely controlled by Senator Gall- inger, who four years ago was an enthusias- tic Harrison man, but the President has given him the cold shoulder s0 com- pletely through the _ baleful influence of ex-Senator Biairthat he has rebelled and is now an open enemy. The three strong oliticians in New Hampshire, whom Mr. allinger was required to whip before he could get the nomination for Senator, have all been put into desirable Federal offices by the President, and Gallinger has sworn ré-" venge. He is willing to secure it by helping _glongthe Keed boom. The statement previ- ously made that the Rhode Island delegates had been pledged in advance not to vote for Harrison is correct, and it is ~ thought that they can eventually ve led to join Reed’s forces, Within the past few days movements have been set on foot toward * gounding Thomas C, Platt ana Senator Quay _ as to the advisability of making Reed the anti- Harrison candidate, and it is thought by some of the shrewdest politicians here that the reports will be entirely satisfactory to Mr. Reed’s friends. Mr. Platt, indeed, has ‘jong had a friendly eye upon the big man from Maine, and although at present he is not making known his desires or tntentions ' there seemsto beno reason why Mr. Ree — not be acceptable to him asa candil- e..

It soon became evident after the organization ofthe meeting that each element nad at- tempted to capture itin the interest of their respective favorites as a opening boom in the campaign just opened. As a compro- mise the mass-meeting was resolved intoa “yong and two tickets were placed in the fleld, one of which was composed ex- clusively of Hall men, and the other ex- clusively of Mansurmen. ‘The result was 260 for the Mansur men and 91 forthe Hall men, which is generally accepted asthe relative strength of the two congressional candidates in this township. STEVENS’ FRIENDS. BOONVILLE, Mo., April 80.—The Democrats had their township meetings to-day. The county convention will meet here next Mon- day to select delegates to the St. Louis, Sedaliaand Kansas City conventions. The friends of State Treasurer Stevens were out in force andthe meetings were large and enthusiastic.

A harmonious county convention is anticipated on Monday. THIRD PARTY MEN. LEXINGTON, Mo., April 30.—A meeting of third party adherents was held atthe Court- bouse this afternoon and an organization of the People’s party effected, with Col. Ben, Elliott, President of the County Farmers’ Alliance, as Chairman of the Central Committee, which otnsists of one member from each township. Addresses were made by Larkin Wise of La- clede, lecturer forthe Missouri Alliance, and E. W. Justis of Kansas City, editor of the Interstate Alliance Echo. Wise made the usual third party speech in favor of the sub-treasury Y pene xovernment control of railroads and against National § Banks, At the conclusion of Wise’s address the action of the St. Louis conference was in- dorsed, Col. Ben Elliott, G. A. Campbell and L. J. Slusher were elected delegates to the People’s Party State Convention, which meets at Sedalia, June 21. People’s Party clubs will be organized in each township in the county. ms . 3 | HILL’S THREE FRIENDS, | “ +n Sage ee. ed the Supreme Court Convention, the National Macon, Mo., April 30.—The Democrats of | a John J. Stogdell were elected delegates tothe Democratic State Convention at Sedalia to- day. They are not strong Cleveland men. Theo. Emerson, who was Hill’s man, re- ceived three votes. ROAD CONVENTION DELEGATES. CARTHAGE, Mo., April 830.—The County Court has appointed Judge Weeks, N. H. Paulaing and G. C. Carter of this county as delegates to the Road Convention, which meets in Springfleld May 4. The subject of good roads has been much daiscussed in this county. A large percentage of the townships having organized and voted under the special act. Jasper County roads are naturally good and having within her borders abundance of material for 10ad making are constantly being improved and give great advantages to the farming communities, BUCHANAN COUNTY DELEGATES. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., April 30.—The Democrats of Buchanan County assembled in mass con- vention here to-day to select twelve delegates to the convention td be held at Sedalia for the purpose of choosing delegates to the National] Democratic Convention at Chicago. The del- egation was uninstructed; but they undoubt- edly favor C, C. Maffitt and T,. T, Crittenden tor delegates at large to Chicago upon the condition that if elected they will cast their votes for Grover Cleve- land for the presidential nominee. The same convention selected thirteen delegates to the convention to be held in Kansas City to nominate a judge of the Kansas City Court of Appeals and instructed them for Judge Smith of Kansas City. THE ILLINOIS SLATE, JOE HAS A WALK-OVER FOR THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION, SPRINGFIELD, Ill., April 30.—Gov. Fifer and his friends are jubilantto day. They claim that there is no longer a particle of doubt that *‘Private Joe’’ will be named as his own successor, Indeed, the whole ticket is now made out. Here it is: Governor—Joseph W. Fifer. Lieutenant-Governor—Lyman Ray, Secretary of State—I, N, Pearson. Auditor—C. W. Pavey. Treasurer—Henry L. Hertz. Attorney-General—George W. Prince. Congressmen-at-Large—Richard Yates and George Willitts. Gov. Fifer claims Cook County delegates, thirty- eight . instructed outside of Cook and nearly 800 uninstructed. Thisruns his total up to over 100. There have not been many instructions given for Lieutenant- Governor, but most of the delegates who have been instructed at all have been instructed for Ray, indicating that this is the drift. Joseph N. Carter of Quincy, however, shows a disposition to enter the lists for the Lieutenant-Governorship. Ad- ams County, with its twenty votes, is back of him, and it is claimed that these votes will be for him through thick andthin. He has sent out circularsto every delegate, urging that he be favored with the place he seeks. The circulars have attached the signatures of thirty of Quincy’s most prominent Repub- licans. Pearson claims over 300 instructed delegates, and.a practically solid Cook Coun- ty delegation, with a sufficient number in sightto easily nominate him on the first ballot. Pavey’ claims over six hundred delegates instructed and uninstructed outside of Cook, and at least of the delegates from that county. has over three hundred instructed, Cook County asks for his nomination, it ts thought by politicians that there will bea very general disposition to grant the request, Prince has a long lead for Attorney General, and the same ig true of Yates and Willis for Congress from the state at large, PRIVATE twenty-five of the aod THE TEXAS CAMPAIGN, - HOGG’S CHANCES Of RE-ELECTION—A FICKLE PEOPLE. DALLAS, Tex., April 30.—Texas just now is in the ‘throes of a. political § rev- olution that seems destined to overthrow ©ov. Hogg. The change in sentiment has been great, and for the first timein the his- tory of the State, a Governor has found it necessary to g0 upon the hustings in defense of his administration and to plead for a_ second term. Heretofore a second term has been conceded and no one has been bold enough to oppose i GOV. Many causes have brought about this sin- gular condition of affairs in the State, but the principal one, undoubtedly, is Hogg’s per- sistent, aggressive and, somethink, fanati- cal war uponcapital. This has arrayed al- most the entire business interests of the State against him and itis safe tosay that seven- tenths of the business men who supported him two years ago are now violently opposing him, They feel thatthe peace and prosperity of the State imperativelyidemand his defeat, and the men who have never been known to take an active partin politics are now indefatigable in their efforts to bring about a change of administration. This was forcibly demon- strated in Dallas last Saturday night, when the entire business element of the city turned out and went to the primartes and elected anti- Hogg delegates. Again, Gov. Hogge’s administration has been intensely personal. He has been diffi- cult toapproach, and there has been an at- mosphere about the State house which has seemed to proclaim ‘‘thereis no sympathy between the Governor and the people.’’ The change fromthe freedom and prosperity of all past administrations has been most mark The agricultural portion of the State’ is disgusted at this, and a large folowing has drifted loose from the Democratic party and will run Gen. Henry C. McCulloch. the old Indian fighter, asanindependent for Governor. They are organizing all over the State and claim they will poll over 100,000 votes and elect several Congressmen. This movement is certainly very damaging to Gov. Hogg and greatly lessens his chances for success. Judge Clark and Mr. Hogg will have their first joint discussion at Cameron next Wednesday andit is expected to be the largest political gathering ever witnessed in Texas. Peopleare preparing to attend it from nearly every part ofthe State and itis destined to be a memorable event in political annals. From present indications Mr. Hogg Iisfgoing to be snowed under rather deep. But the people of Texas, in political matters, are fickle. Achange may come. Twoyears ago at this time it looked as if he would certainly be defeated for the nomination, but when the polls closed on the last county convention in August it was found that he had carried every county butone. A month hence one may be able to judge ofthe endand sum up results. Now, itis impossible. KANSAS POLITICS, FARMER 8MITH SEEKING REPUBLICAN SUPPORT FOR GOVERNOR. ATCHISON, Kan., April 30.—A, W. Smith, the ‘‘farmer,’’ who is making a canvass for the Republican nomination for Governor, has declared waron George H. Case, War- den of the Penitentiary, because Case has re- belled against the dictation of the ‘‘State- house ring’’ and has chosen to support E. N. Morrill instead of Smith. Smith himself says nothing Openly, but his lieutenants make no secret of their disiike of Case and declare that he must retire from his position. Case, however, works Only the more industriously for Morrill, und on Friday he his own county, Jewell, for Morrill, although Smith supposed he had the pins all set to carry itfor himself, Of course Case will not be reappointed Warden if Smith ts suc- cessful, but the primaries this week have resulted s0 disastrously _. him that looks as @ would a Pl ated down to Morr'll ofthe Northwest and Murdock of the Southwest, with John kK, Wright of Central as a dark-horse bility. smith is himself said to be very uraged.

Another influence that is working against him is the support he is giving to State Treasurer Stover and State Auditor Hovey, who seeks a renomination, but who, as members of the State Board of Railroad Assessors, voted to reduce the tax valuation of railroads $7,000,000. Opposition tothem has developed in consequence, and Smith will, of course, suffer with them. POLITICAL DRIFT, POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS INQUIRED INTO— CAMPAIGN NOTES, BALTIMORE, Md., April 30.—A supplement- ary resolution was adopted by the Conven- tion .of the National Civil Service Reform League before its adjournment for the ap- pointment of a committee to bring to the attention of the proper officials all violations of the law prohibiting the levying of political assessments on office holders. The ‘‘whereas’’ preceding the resolution declared that viola- tions and attempts to violate those sections of the civil service reform act, which are in- tended to prevent the levying of assessments for political purpose upon office -hoiders, are usually more frequent and audacious during a presidential campaign than at other times. SENATOR GIBSON’S FENCES. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 30.—United States Senator Randall Lee Gibson, having made a thorough inspection of his fences, has found them in a satisfactory condition and returned to Washington, where he will be found in his seat on Monday. There appears to be very little doubt of the sagacious Senator’s re-election, though he has, it must be admit- ted,a great dealto contend with. Ip the first place he is confronted as a candidate by Hon. Don Caffrey of St. Mary, who is the choice of Gov. Nichols and Govy.-elect Foster. He isa strong, brainy Man, a superb orator, country-raised and with little taste for pub- lic Mfe. It took him some time toconsent to become a candidate and only upon assurance of his strong supporters that they would see him thrown. Hon. C. Blanchard, member of the ast six Congresses from the Red River district, has announced him- self a candidate for the Senate and hopes to bring to his support the Kepresentative of half a dogen of the northwestern parishes. Col. Frank P. Stubbs of Monroe has also filed his claim for the place; backed by the earnest men of the Ouachita. The Foster people havea majority in both branches of the Legislature, but the MeEnery men, if they combine with the Republicans and Alliance men, can give them some trouble. Had the McKnery men carried the dy, ex-Sen- ator B. T. Jonas would have been the undisputed choice. A little cloud no larger than a@ Wan’s hand now appease over she the candidacy of Hon, 8. S.

TO OPEN A MEDICAL LIBRARY. A Plan Proposed to Establish a Valuable Addition to the Public Library. There are fair prospects of a large medical library being established in this city under the care of the Public Library.

The agreement to be signed by the medical colleges is that each college will pay $2 a year for every student and $5 a year for ten years for every instructor in the college. The fees and dues of the Library Association will be de- termined upon by the members... All money raised will be spent in books, asthere is no other expense, the room, light and heat being given free by the Public Library. The medi- cal traternity will thus practically have its own library and a meeting-room for the various societies and faculties at no expense to the members except the fees and dues, which will be very small.

Whe Woman Removed From the Hospital by Her Mother on Account of the Treatment She Is Reported to Have Re- -eeived—Dr. Kerley Denies the Woman’s Story—An Investigation. ‘Some very serious charges were made yes- terday afternoon at Police Headquarters against one of the nurses at the Female Wos- pital, It was claimed that Mrs. Orpha Curry had been beaten and jerked out of bed and otherwise maitreated while being treated at the Hospital. Officer Fay was Instructed ta investigate the matter and he interviewed Mrs. Curry and her mother in regard to it and submitted his report last night. The mother is Mrs. Bishop, who runs quite an extentive boarding-house at 125 South Fourteenth street, and she says she sent Mrs.Curry to the hospital two weeks ago last ¥riday on the recommendation of Dr. F. G. Williams, the doctor saying that she would receive better attention there than he could give her at the boarding hotise. On the following Monday she visited her daughter at the hospital and found her doing nicely, buta few days later she re- ceived information from another patient that Mrs. Curry had been most inhumanely treated by one of the nurses and that she would certainly die if not soon removed from the hospital. Mrs. Bishop hurried out to the hcspital and the reports of brutality Were confirmed in part at least by her Gaughter. THE MOTHER’S STORY. **] ordered a carriage and had her removed Yrom the hospital at once,’’ said Mrs. Curry, in telling the story yesterday afternoon to Officer Fay and a Post-DispaTcu reporter. ‘“‘Herlegs and arms were black and blue from the beating she got and she has been in @ very critical condition ever since. The doctors dosed her with morphine also and When my daughter com- plained to one of the doctors of the way in which the nurse had beaten her, he re- proned the nurse, but I don’t know whether he changed her to another wardor not. I think not, however, ‘for my daughter was gubjected to same kind of treatment as longas she was at the hospital. She has a little baby only 3 months old and certainly ought to bave been given some consideration on that account. My daughter tells me _ that this nurse beat her witha pillow in the face and pinched and squeezed her legs and arms and struck her several times with her fists and pulled, or, rather, jerked her out of bed and let her fall onthe floor. Her back was severely injured in one instance, One of the other patients who was a witness to all this was here to see me to-day, and she saw or remembers more about the horrible treatment my daughter was subjected to than my daughter does her- self. Idon’t Know hername, but l expect her here again soon.’’ Mrs. Curry was visited as she lay in bed in an adjoining room and asked a few questions in regard to the aileged beatings she received at the hospital and she corroborated sub- stantially what had been related by Mrs. Bishop. She said further that when she en- tered the ward she felt chilly and asked that the room be made warmer, and was told that at could not be done. Then she asked that more covering be givento her baby, as she was more anxious aboutthe childthan she was about herself, but this request was also denied,and when she complained of the treat- ment the nurse slapped her inthe face with a pillow. This was the beginning of the nine days of torture she suffered at the hos- pital. Onthe first visit of her mother she made no complaint, asshe did not want to alarm her, but was glad when she was [finally taken from the hospital. Mrs. Bishop said that she did not want to send her daughter tothe City Hospitalinthe first place, as she had heard what a horrible place it was, but was finally persuaded into it by Mrs. Curry herself. DR. KERLEY’S DENIAL. Dr. Kerley, the Superintendent of the Fe- male Hospital, was informed last evening of the complaint made by Mrs. Bishop and Mrs, Curry and he said in reply that it was with- out any foundation whatever. ‘‘The woman was demented,’’ he said, ‘‘and I told her mother tocome and take her to the Insane Asylum, but shecame and took her home, She was kindly treated here all the time, had two reliable nurses, plenty toeatand drink, and there isn’t any foundation whatever for her charges.’’ Dr. Williams was also seen and asked what he knew about the case, and he replied that Mrs. Curry was much worse when she left the hospital than when she entered it. He did not like to say anything about the manage- ment of the Female Hospital, but was in- clined to believe that this woman was not altogether properly treated. The nurses _ there were not paid much, and they were not \ \ above the horizon. all of them what they should be. He had the best cf reasons for believing that some hospital nurses were brutal and was not sur- risedto hear of the treatment accorded rs. Curry atthe hospital. As regards the refiections on the woman, hecould say that both she and her mother were respecta- ble. -If she had done anything that would be objectionable under ordinary circumstances, it was excusable in her on ac- count of the pecullarity of her sickness, and that might be said irrespective of her mental condition. Dr. Williams said that he recom- mended that she be sent tothe City Hospital because the hospital had instruments and means of treating the disease she was suffer- ing from, whicn he did not. Dr. Spiegel- halter also treated her and probably made “the same recommendation. Dr. Williams said that he had been to see Mrs. Curry only twice since her return from the hospital, andthat onhis first visit she was delirious. On the second visit she was rational and told him of the way she had been treated at the hospital. He did not examine her legs to see if they still bore the marks of the ill-usage . and only knew of that from the statements of the mother and daughter. He expressed . the opinion that she was in a very dangerous \gonaition, with the chances against her re- very. , | QUAINT FACTS. Strange Things Which Have Been Learned | by Investigators. An electrician has invented a system for ringing a chime of bells by electricity, which, if it prove successful, as there seems little round for doubt that it will, bids fair to do way with theancient profession of chime ringing. In early times chimes were rung by having a man to each bell, and long practice Was necessary to insure even tolerable accuracy. An advance upon this primitive method was made by the construction of a kind of key-board composed of levers, each connected with its bell. This arrangement was manipulated by asingle man handling the levers so asto bring atune out of the belis. It requiresa good deal of exertion and the movement is necessarily slow and heavy. The most recent invention makes the bell clapper more re- sponsive toan electro-magnet, controlled by ey-board precisely similar to that ofa Dp . and is expected todevelop great del- icacy and accuracy. The invention has been fitted to the famous chimes of Grace Church, New York, and will be used for the first time on Easter morning. TIME IN INDIA. There is nothing so little accounted for as time in the East Indies, The wealthy Hin- doo always has aclock in his parlor, often several orthem. He keeps them not to tell thetime, but rather as foreign curiosities to exhibit his wealth, He is so indifferent totime that he measures it by the number of bamboo lengths the sun has ™ traveled In the count police stations, where the European divisions of the hours is observed, time is measured by ngin atubof water acopper pot in @ small bole bas been bored, It supposed thatit will take one hour for the water to leak into the pot so astofillit and sink it. When the policeman sees that the pot has disappeared he strikes the houron a bell-like gong. Ifheissmokingor dozing, the copper pot may have disappeared sev- eral minutes before he discovers the fact— but the nour is when he strikes the gong. A SEMI-VOLCANIC DISTURBANCE, A curious disturbance of the earth’s sur- face is reported from Wyoming. A large part of the State is underlaid with great coal de- posits, which have been on fire at several different points for a number of years. Gases are generated underground end more or less violent explosions are of frequent occur- rence. The disturbance last week was on the Sweet Water cattle ranch, about 250 miles west of Cheyenne. More than a hundred acres of surface were displaced with are- ort that was heard for thirty miles around. . nto a big hole in the ground a considerable stream that ran in the vicinity is pouring now and withdrawing the Irrigation facilities of several ranches. At Rock spring coal and rock were thrown into the air to a consider- able height. The existence of the under- ground fire has been known for twelve years, CONCESSION TO AMERICAN EXPLORERS, The Government of Greece has granted the American School at Athens permission to carry on excavations in Laconia,and specially in the vicinity of ancient Sparta and Amy- cle. The concession runs seven years, and allows the school to make casts and molds of allantiquities discovered, and to be the first to publish the results of their explora- tions. During the last halfdozen years this school Nas dugat Thoricus, Sicyon, Icaria, Platwa, Eretria and the Herzum, besides slighter work at twoor three less important places, determining the site of an ancient dome, bringing to Nght much material for the history of the Greek drama and its the- ater, finding what may bethe grave of the philosopher: Aristotle, some fine pieces of ancient sculpture, etc. PEAT IN AMERICA, Peat beds are commonly supposed to be peculiar to Ireland, and few people know that they are almost as abundant in this country ason the Emerald Isle. There are many large beds in northern New York,while in Néw England and Pennsylvania they are also common, and are found in Ohio, Indl- ana, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. Exten- sive peat tracts exist in Canada, Labrador and Newfoundiand, and the Island of Anti- costi, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, has the largest peat bed in the world. It is over eighty miles long and from two toseven miles wide, the thickness varying’ from three to ten feet. The peatisof the best quality, but owing to the cheapness of coal is very little used, A VALUABLE MODEL FOUND, The French Government has acquired possession of acurious and hitherto scarcely known statue of Napoleon the Great. Itisa plaster model by the sculptor, Rude, and represents the Emperor recumbent at full length, dead, the head crowned with a laurel wreath, and half enveloped in the shroud which covers the body. The bronze casting of this important work is set upin the grounds ofa family dwelling near Dijon, descendants of one of Napoleon’s officers, who himself ordered it ofthe great sculptor. Rude was in the habit of destroying his models after they had been executed in their final shape; hencethis exceptionally preserved mode! is regarded witha special interest, — A CHINESE DOCTOR A Chinese physician in Chicago was before a justice the other day on the charge of prac- ticing medicine without a license, and left $100 in the hands ofthe law, His name was Dr. Don Wang. He came from California recently, rented a handsome stone front and began to practice. The doctor’s method of diagnosis did not tire his voice atall, forthe patientsonly laid their hands on the pin- cushion and the doctor’s touch did the rest. He said he could locate more than 700 diseases by just feelinga patient’s pulse, and could cure any or all of the 700 by the application of 3,229 different Chinese drugs, some of them 4,000 years old, ODD SOAP BUBBLES. They May Be Made in Various Shapes and Varieties. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. With the aid of afew ,simple contrivances, the ordinary round soap bubble may be given various forms; that of a cylinder, a cube and a pyramid. The best suds for this purpose are prepared with warin waterand soap. This Is filtered, mixed two-fifths with glycerine., and set aside untila white skin has formed on the When this skin has been removed and is surface. the liquid is poured into a_ bottle, ready for use at any time. Aclay pipe isthe best instrument for the experiment, although a strawcan be used, the end of which is split twice andthe four parts bent outward to form as many angles. Two rings must then be made of wire, to one of which feet are attached, so that it will sit onatable;the secondring is made with a handle, towhich a thread istied. A soap bubble is then blown in the usual way and dropped on the wire ringonthetable. Then the other ring is lifted up by the thread, moistened with the suds, an@ lightly held against thetopofthe bubble. The latter ad- heres to the ring, and by pulling it carefully upward it willassume a cylindrical shape. By pressing the ring gently, however,against the bubble a perfect ellipse is formed, With a cube, made of twelve pieces of wire, and provided witha handle which 1s also managed by means of a thread, two very shag 4 mathematical figures can be made ike the one shown in the cut, consisting of six pyramids. The cubic frame is simply dipped into the suds, and when pulled out forms the exact facsimile of the cut. By dipping the lower portion of this figure again into the liquid suds another transtormatio tukes place. A small cube has now forme in the center, around which six pyramids are eer By simply touching one side of this little cube with a piece of blotting- paper the figure resumes its original shape, Phe central cube forming again into a square. All these figures refiect the beautiful colors pf ee rainbow, just like the ordinary roung ubbdle, EVERY SON Upon whom would fall the care of the fam- ily in case of the death of the father, is in- terested in the coupon to be found on page ‘two of to-day’s issue, | f 4 4 _ OITY REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

MRS. ORPHA CURRY ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN BEATEN BY A NURSE, Whe Woman Removed From the Hospital by Her Mother on Account of the Treatment She Is Reported to Have Re- _eeived—Dr. Kerley Denies the Woman’s Story—An Investigation. ‘Some very serious charges were made yes- afternoon at Police Headquarters against one of the nurses at the Female Hos- pital. It was claimed that Mrs. Orpha Curry had been beaten and jerked out of bed and otherwise maitreated while being treated at the Hospital. Officer Fay was instructed ta investigate the matter and he interviewed Mrs. Curry and her mother in_regard to it and submitted his report last night. The mother is Mrs. Bishop, who runs quite an extentive boarding-house at 12 South Fourteenth street, and she says she sent Mrs.Curry to the hospital two weeks ago last Friday on the recommendation of Dr. F. G. Williams, the doctor saying that she would receive better attention there than he could give her at the boarding house. On the following Monday she visited her daughter at the hospital and found her doing nicely, buta few days later she re- _ geived information from another patient that i, Mrs. Curry had been - most inhumanely treated by one of the nurses and that she would certainly die if not soon removed from the hospital. Mrs. Bishop hurried out to the hespital and the reports of brutality were confirmed in part at least by her Gaughter. THE MOTHER’S STORY. **T ordered a carriage and had her removed from the hospital at once,’’ said Mrs. Curry, in telling the story yesterday aiternoon to Officer Fay and a Post-DispaTcH reporter. *‘Herlegs and arms were Dlack and blue from the beating she got and she has been in @ very critical condition ever since. The doctors dosed her with morphine also and almost killed her. When my daughter com- plained to one of the doctors of the way in which the nurse had beaten her,he re- proned the nurse, but I don’t know whether he changed her to another wardor not. I think not, however, for my daughter was gubjected to same kind of treatment as longas she was at the hospital. She has a little baby only 3 months old and certainly ought to bave been given some consideration on that account. My duughter tells me _ that this nurse beat her witha pillow in the face and pinched and squeezed ler legs and arms and struck her several times with her fists and pulled, or, rather, jerked her out of bed and let her fall onthe floor. Her back was severely injured in one instance, One of the other patients who was a witnessto all this was here to see me to-day, and she saw or remembers more about the horrible treatment my daughter was subjected to than my daughter does her- self. Idon’t know hername, but I expect her here again soon.’’ Mrs. Curry was visited as she lay in bed in an adjoining room and asked a few questions in regard to the alleged beatings she received at the hospital and she corroborated sub- stantially what had been related by Mrs. Bishop. She said further that when she en- tered the ward she felt chilly and asked that the room be made warmer, and was told that “hat could not be done. Then she asked that more covering be givento her baby, as she was more anxious aboutthe childthan she was about herself, but this request was also denied,and when she complained of the treat- ment the nurse slapped her inthe face with a pillow. This was the beginning of the nine days of torture she suffered at the hos- pital. Onthe first visit of her mother she made no complaint, asshe did not want to alarm her, but was glad when she was finally taken from the hospital. Mrs. Bishop said that she did not want to send her daughter to the City Hospital in the first place, as she had heard what a horrible lace it was, but was finally persuaded into by Mrs. Curry herself. . DPR. KERLEY’S DENIAL. Dr. Kerley, the Superintendent of the Fe- male Hospital, was informed last evening of the complaint made by Mrs. Bishop and Mrs, Curry and he said in reply that it was with- out any foundation whatever. ‘‘The woman was demented,’’ he said, ‘‘and I told her mother tocome and take her tothe Insane Asylum, but shecame and took her home, She was kindly treated here all the time, had two reliable nurses, plenty toeatand drink, and there isn’t any foundation whatever for her charges.’’ Dr. Williams was also seen and asked what he knew about the case, and he replied that Mrs. Curry was much worse when she left the hospital than when she entered it. He did not like to say anything about the manage- ment of the Female Hospital, but was in- clined to believe that this woman was not altogether properly treated. The nurses there were not paid much, and they were not all of them what they should be. He had the best cf reasons for believing that some hospital nurses were brutal and was not sur- risedto hear of the treatment accorded rs. Curry atthe hospital. As regards the reflections on the woman, hecould say that both sheand her mother were respecta- ble. If she had done anything that would be objectionable under ordinary circumstances, It was excusable in her on ac- count of the pecullarity of her sickness, and that might be said irrespective of her mental condition. Dr. Williams said that he recom- mended that she be sent tothe City Hospital because the hospital had instruments and means of treating the disease she was suffer- ing from, whicn he did not. Dr. Spilegel- halter also treated her and probably made the same recommendation. Dr. Williams said that he had been to see Mrs. Curry only twice since her return from the hospital, andthat onhis first visit she was delirious. On the second visit she was rational and told him of the way she had been treated at the hospital. He did not examine her legs to see if they stii bore the marks of the ill-usage ~ and only knew of that from the statements of above the horizon. the mother and daughter.. He expressed the opinion that she was in a very dangerous condition, with the chances against her re- covery. QUAINT FACTS. Strange Things Which Have Been Learned vy Investigators. An electrician has invented a system for ringing a chime of bells by electricity, which, if it prove successful, as there seems little ground for doubt that it wil), bids fair to do away with theanclent profession of chime ringing. In early times chimes were rung by having a man to each bell, and long practice Was necessary to insure even tolerable accuracy. An advance upon this primitive method: was made by the construction of a kind of key-board composed of levers, each connected with its bell. This arrangement was manipulated by asingle man handling the levers so asto bring atune out of the belis. It requiresa good deal of exertion and the movement is necessarily slow and heavy, The most recent invention makes the bell clapper more re- sponsive toan electro-magnet, controlled by akey-board precisely similar to that of a jano, and is expected to develop great del- cacy and accuracy. The invention has been fitted to the famous chimes of Grace Church, New York, and will be used for the first time on Easter morning. | TIME IN INDIA, There is nothing so little accounted for as time in the East Indies, The wealthy Hin- doo always has aclock in his parlor, often several ofrthem. He keeps them not to tell the time, but rather as foreign curiosities to exhibit his wealth, He is so indifferent to time that he measures it by the number of bamboo lengths the sun has ™ traveled In the count police where the European divisions of stations, rved, time is measured by the bours is o in atubof water acopper pot ‘Which 6 small bole bas been bored, it 4s | : supposed that it will take one hour for the water toleak into the pot so astofillit and sink it. When the policeman sees that the pot has disappeared he strikes the houron a bell-like gong. Ifheissmokingor dozing, the copper pot may have disappeared sev- eral minutes before he discovers the fact— but the nour is when he strikes the gong. A SEMI-VOLCANIC DISTURBANCE, A curious disturbance of the earth’s sur- face is reported from Wyoming. A large part of the State is underlaid with great coal de- posits, which have been on fire at several different points for a number of years. Gases are generated underground end more or less violent explosions are of frequent occur- rence. The disturbance last week was on the Sweet Water cattle ranch, about 250 miles west of Cheyenne. More than a hundred acres of surface were displaced with are- ort that was heard for thirty miles around. nto a big hole in the ground a considerable stream that ran in the vicinity is pouring now and withdrawing the irrigation facilities of several ranches. At Rock spring coal and rock were thrown into the air to a consider- able height. The existence of the under- ground fire has been known for twelve years, CONCESSION TO AMERICAN EXPLORERS, The Government of Greece has granted the American School at Athens permission to carry on excavations in Laconia,and specially in the vicinity of ancient Sparta and Amy- cle. The concession runs seven years, and allows the school to make casts and molds of allantiquities discovered, and to be the first to publish the results of their explora- tions. During the last half dozen years this school Nas dugat Thoricus, Sicyon, Icaria, Platwa, Eretria and the Herzum, besides slighter work at twoor three less important places, determining the site of an ancient dome, bringing to light much material for the history of the Greek drama and its the. ater, finding what may bethe grave of the philosopher’ Aristotle, some fine pieces of ancient sculpture, etc. PEAT IN AMERICA, Peat beds are commonly supposed to be peculiar to Ireland, and few people know that they are almost as abundant in this country ason the Emerald Isle, There are many large beds in northern New York,while in Néw England and Pennsylvania they are also common, and are found in Ohio, Indl- ana, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. Exten- sive peat tracts exist in Canada, Labrador and Newfoundiand, and the Island of Anti- costi, in the Guif of St. Lawrence, has the largest peat bed in the world. It is over eighty miles long and from two toseven miles wide, the thickness varying from three to ten feet. The peatisof the best quality, but owing to the cheapness of coalis very little used, A VALUABLE MODEL FOUND, The French Government has acquired possession of acurious and hitherto scarcely known statue of Napoleon the Great. Itisa plaster model by the sculptor, Rude, and represents the Emperor recumbent at full length, dead, the head crowned with a laurel wreath, and half enveloped in the shroud which covers the body. The bronze casting of this important work is set upin the grounds ofa family dwelling near Dijon, descendants of one of Napoleon’s officers, who himself ordered it of the great sculptor. Rude was in the habit of destroying his models after they had been executed in their final shape; hencethis exceptionally preserved mode! is regarded witha special interest, A CHINESE DOCTOR A Chinese physician in Chicago was before a justice the other day on the charge of prac- ticing medicine without a license, and left $100 in the hands ofthe law, His name was Dr. Don Wang. He came from California recently, rented a handsome stone front and began to practice. The doctor’s method of diagnosis did not tire his voice at all, for the patientsonly laid their hands on the pin- cushion and the doctor’s touch did the rest, He said he could locate more than 700 diseases by just feelinga patient’s pulse, and could cure any or all of the 700 by the application of 3,229 different Chinese drugs, some of them 4,000 years old. ODD SOAP BUBBLES. They May Be Made in Various Shapes and Varieties. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH, With the aid of afew ,simple contrivances, the ordinary round soap bubble may be given various forms; that of a cylinder, a cube and a pyrainid. /Ttte best suds for this purpose are prepared with warm waterand soap. This is filtered, mixed two-fifths with -glycerine., and _ set mia" ae awhite skin has formed on the HT Wi: ew WALA dior When this skin has been removed and is surface. the liquid is poured into a_ bottle, ready for use at any time. A clay pipe isthe best instrument for the experiment, although a strawcan be used, the end of which is split twice andthe four parts bent outward to formas many angles. Two rings must then be made of wire, to one of which feet are attached, so that it will sit ona table;the secondring is made with a handle, towhich a thread istied. A soap bubble isthen blown in the usual way and dropped on the wire ringonthetable. Then the other ring is lifted up by the thread, moistened with the ‘suds, ang lightly held against the top ofthe bubble. The latter ad- heres to the ring, and by pulling it carefully upward it willassume a cylindrical shape. By pressing the ring gently, however ,aygainst the bubble a perfect ellipse is formed, With a cube, made of twelve pieces of wire, and provided with a handle which i!s also managed by means of a thread, two very whey mathematical figures can be made ike the one shown in the cut, consisting of six pyramids. The cubic frame is simply dipped into the suds, and when pulled out forms the exact facsimile of the cut. By dipping the lower portion of this figure again into the liquid suds another transformatio takes place. A small cube has now form in the center, around which six pyramids are Grospec. By simply touching one side of this little cube with a piece of blotting- paper the figure resumes its original shape, the central cube forming again into a square. All these figures refiect beautiful colors os ee rainbow, just like the ordinary roung ubble, EVERY sON Upon whom would fall the care of the fam- ily in case of the death of the father, is in- terested in the coupon to be found on page ‘two of to-day’s issue, wie Ss 2 WA ahOS Oa, RE eke 5 -_ . bie Pent Se GE es e He WADE ae Fe Fe “yf > Hae 4 re Pia é = , % ’ : Pee re } _ OITY REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

HE SUFFERED FROM BRITISH PREJUDICE AND DETECTIVES’ WILES. A Faull Statement of His Case—Consul General Waller Was Inclined to Believe the Irish-American Is Innocent—It Is Hoped That Secretary Blaine Will In- tervene to Procure the Royal Clemency. NEW YorK, April 30.—The brothers and friends of John Curtin Kent, imprisoned in» England for complicity in a dynamite ourage, still hope to induce the United States (iovernment to secure on behalf of the prisonerthe exercise of the royal pardoning power. It is alleged that he was convicted on insufficient evidence, the jurors being prejudiced against him by the mere fact that he was accused of complicity in the dynamite outrages, which were numer- ousatthetime. Mr. Thomas H. Ronayne,a lawyer ofthis city, has written out the his- tory of Kent’s case, including the various at- tempts made tosecureclemency forhim. He has sent toitthe SuNDAY PosT-DISPATCH in the belief thatits publication would arouse popular sympathy for Kent and induce the State Department tohelp him, It is as fol- lows: Kent isan American citizen and a former resident of New York. He has been confined in an English prison since April, 1883, having been tried and convicted with others under an indictment charging them with having conspired to dethrone the Queen, make war upon ler dominions and intimidate the Houses of Parliament by violent measures. Thefriends and relatives of Kent in Ireland and America, who are unceasing tn their efforts to procure his dis- charge, assert that he never should have been convicted on the evidence against him, and that had he been allowed an opportunity at his trial, he could easily have explained anything that appeared against him ofa sus- picious nature. The English law does not permit the accused to testify in hisown be- half as the American law does, and a prisoner on trialthere must rely upon other persons to explainanything that mayappear of an incriminating tendency. MR. LOUWELL WAS NOT INFORMED. Had the attention of the American Minister in London been called to the fact of Kent’s American citizenship it is probable thatsome aid would have been rendered himin his de- fehse and his acquittal possibly secured. Un- fortunately for Kent he was under the im- pression that the fact of his citizenship was known to Mr. Lowell. Soon after his arrest he was waited on in prfson by a Mr. De Tracy Gould, whorepresented himself as an Ameri- can lawyer attached to the American Lega- tion in London, to whom he stated the facts of his case, and who assured him that his interests as an American citizen would be protected, Relyingon Mr. Gould’s statement, Kent did not communicate directly with Mr. Lowell, and it was subsequently learned that there was no lawyer connected with the le- gationand that Mr. Gould was connected with the well known London attorney, Mr. W. F. Morris. Thus, at the beginning of what was to hima most astonishing trial, conyvic- tion and sentence, Kent was handicapped by his failure to have the support of the repre- sentative of hisown,Government. He was penniless and a stranger in London, and that he was defended at all was due to the kinda- ness of his fellow-prisoner, Dr. Gallagher, whose well-meant intention in directing that a portion of the money taken from him by the police be applied to the defense of the other prisoners must have served toconvince a jury, easily convinced, of a connection be- tween the two men. On the trial the @informer, Lynch or Nor- man, also of New York, admitted that he had never seen or heard of Kent before in Amer- ica or England. The prosecution utterly failed to show that Kent was everseen with either orany ofthe other prisoners In Lon- don, Birmingham or elsewhere; thatnodyna- mite was foundin his possession, or inany place: where he had lived; thatthere was no evidence to show that he was ever connected with any Irish revolutionary society, and it was admitted that the statement he made to the police at the time of his arrest, asto his movements since he left America, was wholly true, and there was an utter lack of evidence to connect him with the crime for which he was tried and convicted. AN UNFORTUNATE CHANGE OF NAME. Explosions had occurred in England ard the public mind was inflamed against the perpetrators, supposed to be Irish-Ameri- cans. Whe police department was -on its mettle and every inspector and was expected to do his duty. The prisoners were Irish-Americans—a fact which went far to demolish the old English maxim of law, that a prisoner is presumed innocent until he is proved guilty. in 1s67 in Manchester, En- gland, anumber of Irishmen were arrested charged with having killed a police officer while they were rescuing two Irish leaders, A prejudiced jury of Englishmen convicted the indicted parties, among them a man named McGuire, who was sentenced to death, The reporters before leaving the court denounced the conviction and sen- tence, It was urged by the prosecution that John Curtin Kent assumed andanswered to the name of ‘‘John Curtin.’’ That fact is not evidence of criminality, as thousands of men have assumed names from motives other than criminal. A few weeks before his arrest he visited his parents in Ireland, and the day before his arrest he visited a married sister in Blackburn, England, andto them he could not have appeared undera name other than his own, and if he engaged in the desperate enterprise alleged against him, he would not be likely to have visited them atall. It is not unusual in Irish families to have.young men answer tothe mother’s maiden names, to dis- tinguish them from cousins of the same paternal name, and that Kent was frequently called and answered to the name of . John Curtin in New York is proved by several affidavits to that effect filed in the State Department, Wasi- ington. Had Kent been connected with the alleged conspiracy the retention of the En- gliish name ‘* hent’’ would have been more safe than the adoption of the Irish one, ‘*Curtin;’’ but Irish mechanics who have ever worked in England know that they will have better chances of securing friendship from Irishmen there by bearing thoroughly Irish names. If Kent had any criminal mo- tive in assuming the name ‘‘Curtin’’ he would not have been foolish enought to have retained the name ‘‘Kent’’ on his shirts, as appeared in evidence at the trial. Answer- ing an assumed name was the first suspicious circumstance against him, other than his Irish birth and American citizenship, which are always evidences of criminal intent to an ordinary British jury. That he wrote to Dr. Gallagher in London was not in itself criminal, and even the coupling of it with the assumption of name other than his full one, would not amount to acriminal act. Had English law permitted Kentto go on the witness stand, he could have explained how and why he wrote to Dr. Gallagher. The letter was produced at the jtrial,and it contained nothing showin any criminal Intent. It announced his arriva in London and requested an interview. On March 17, 1888, when he was visited in prison by Ex-Gov. Waller, then Consul-General in London, he stated that he had been under Dr. Gallagher’s treatment in Greenpoint before leaving America, and that Dr. Gal- lagher was aware of his intention to visit Great Britain and Ireland and seek employ- ment, hoping that the sea voyage and change of climate would restore his health. Dr. Gai- lagher gave him the name of an influential mechanic in Glasgow, where the doctor had been brought up, who, he said, would heip him to secure employment. Glasgow 18, as everybody knows, a likely place to obtain employment at Kent’s trade, that of a me- chanical engineer and fitter, and he did se- cure work, fitting an engine ina government vessel, but left owing to a dispute as to wages. Two of Dr. Gallagher’s brothers, Bernardand Daniel, had been in Glasgow and learned that Kent was there and boarding in the house of their brother’s friend. On April 2, 1883, Kent was surprised to receitvea letter from Dr. Gallagher from London asking how he wag Rotting on, to which Kent replied at once at he was out of work and in bt and asking Gallagher to send him ot money to take him t6é the United revo? Dr. Gallagher sent him £5 and invited call bh Lo mmedia to .the House thereon. {sented in July, 1888, in which was given a detective ; he was returning to America, He reached London on the Tnorat of April 5 1988, an — toa lodging house at No, 12 Wobura ace. a He wrote at once the letter to Dr, Gallagher produced at the trial, but as Dr. Gallagher was then under arrest the police took posses- sion of and opened it, and-thus they first learned of the existence of John Curtin Kent. While awaiting an answer to bis letter he learned that day of the arrest of Dr. Galla- gher. He made no effort to leave his lodging- house, but went in and out as he leased, On April7 he pawned his watch for £2, as he had no money, andonthe same aay he was ar- rested, All the other prisoners had consider- able sums except Kent, who was at the ex- treme of financial necessity, Which he would not be if connected with the dynamite enter- prise, as that enterprise had a wealthy or- ganization behind it, if Lynchor Norman’s Statement be true, DETECTIVES MADE THE CASE. What convicted Kent was, as stated by Mr. Morris, ‘*‘the statement made by Bernard Gallagher to the Glasgow detective (Inspector Boyd).’’ Whatwas that statement? That his brother, Dr. Gallagher, told him to teil ‘*James’’ Curtin that he would like to see him in London, and that his brother, Daniel Gallagher, had told him that the reason he (Daniel) and CRarlie Goleman were returning to America was that they would not engage in the work that Curtin wanted them to do, For what purpose Dr. Gallagher wished to see Kont in London did not appear. There was, therefore, nothing criminal in that request of Dr. Gallagher, or its conveyance by his brother Bernard to Kent, or kent’s receipt of it, andas a matter of fact Kent had ;:. letter from Dr. Gallagher, as already state tl, inviting himto London. Nor did it appees what alleged work Kent wanted Daniel Gallagher and Charlie Coleman to engage in. Therefore nothing criminal should be in- ferred from it as against kent. Everybody knows that hearsay evidence is not admis- sible against a prisoner on trial, but the shrewd Inspector Bayd of Glasgow, not wish- ing to be less successful at his end of the line than Inspector Black atthe Birmingham end or Inspector Littlechild at the London end, craftily interjected injurious statements,said to have been made by Bernard Gallagher and Daniel Gallagher against Kent and though disallowed by the learned Judge, the jury heard them, and of course they operated in the minds ofthe jury against Kent and se- cured his conviction, as Mr. Morris alleges, Inspector Littlechild, to aldand assist his brother inspector, Boyd, gave the damaging testimony that in a dark passageway in the rison he saw Kent shake hands with ‘hitehead and pass on,an ingenious bit of detective testimony that was meant for the benefit of the jury and no doubt effected its object. On April 6 Bernard Gallagher was arrested in Glasgow, his birthplace, in a public house ‘*the worse for drink,’’ as Inspector Boy said, and immediately terrorized by being accused in court of naving blown up the Tradestone Gas Works and the Clyde Canal on Jan. 20, and was remanded on that charge for eight days. Withinforty hours after his arrest, ‘‘much the worse for drink,’’ and un- doubtedly suffering from that craving that habitual drinkers deprived of stimulants must suffer, and under terror of the grave charges against him, he made, it appears, the statements to Inspector Boyd which were so illegally, but no less efficaciously used against Kent. The Judge charged rather favorably in the cases of Bernard Gallagher, Kent and Ans- Durgh, stating theircases werein the same category, but the jury, ignoring the Judge’s charge, acquitted Bernard Gallagher and Ansburgh, but convicted Kent with Dr, Gal- lagher. Wilson and Whitehead,and the Judge sentenced each to imprisonment for life. Another phase of that trial should not pass unnoticed. It was wholly a police case, and the skill of the detectives in London, Bir- mingham and Glasgow was being tested be- fore the people of Great Britain. Explosions had taken place in London and Glasgow, and the press pertinently asked, ‘‘Where are the police?’’ Detectives take a professional pride in securing convictions,and experience shows that English.detectives are not too scrupu- lous on the matter of convictions. Inspector Black of Birmingham had charge of this case, and the recent exposure of his disgrace- ful methods in manufacturing evidence to secure conviction should command the atten- tion of our State Department, as far as the liverty of American citizens has been affected by him. The recent accusations against Black have been made by English officials and others who have been for years conversant with the man and his methods, 2 THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT PETITIONED. In 1887 President Cleveland took an interest in those cases and instructed Mr. Phelps to ask for clemency. yonsul-General Waller applied for permission to visit Kent, and when Kent was entitled toa visit urder the rules of Chatham prison, Gov. Waller was allowed to see himand take his statement, which isembodiedinthe preceding portion ofthis article. Soimpressed was he with the man’s statement and his protestations of innocence, that he made a ciose examination of the report of the trial and evidence, and in his report to Secretary Bayard said that ‘*the conviction of Kent on such evidence must have been regarded as a great triumph for the Crown lawers,’’ which its a diplomatic way of sayingthat in his opinion the man should not have beenconvicted. In May, 1888, Mr. Perry Belmont, then lHiouse Chairman:of the Committee on For- eign Affairs, introduced a resolution instruct- ing that tommittee to inquire into the facts of the case of John Curtin Kent rnd report to The report was pre- history of the case and a resume of the eyli- dence, and concluded by an expression of the deepest sympathy for Kent and regretted that he had not an opportunity of presenting his case to the jury, and that he had erred supposing that the attention of the American Minister had been called to his case before trial. The papers then went to the State Department with a number of affi- davits from Americans, Irishmen and En- glishmen as to Kent’s character, to the fact that he was known here and frequently addressed as John Curtin; that he was under treatment by Dr. Gallagher, and that he in- formed them of his Intention to visit Great Britain and tlreland, His certificate of naturalization was also filed In the deport- meéent. The presidential campaign of 1888 soon followed, and the matter was appa- rently left in abeyance, When Mr. Blaine became Secretary of State the friends of Kent became Very hopeful that the intervention of the American gov- ernment would be applied to obtain his re- lease, but they have been sadly disappointed. The sickness of the Secretary delayed action forsometime,. In i189la synopsis of the petl- tion on file inthe State Department was fur- nished himand in November, I891, a reply, from which the following isan extract, was made by him: ‘‘The case of Mr. Kent was called to the attention of the department be- fore, and under my instructions the Amer!l- can Minister at London has carefully exam- ined it and has reported thereon within a shorttime. Itappeared thatin addition to two awkward circumstances admitted by yrisoner’s brothers there were many others rought out at thetrialof thecase, which,un- explained, seems to havé afforded a basis for the verdict ofthe jury. Mr. Kent’strial did not begin until more than twomonths after his arrest, and he was defended by two barris- ters, one of them the Queen's Counsel. Any evidence tending to show his innocence ought to have been produced then, and a subsequent application based upon it would need satisfactorily to show why it was not so produced. Without going into details, I re- ret toinform youthatitisthe opinion of he department, upon an examin ation of the case, that the circumstances do not warrant it in intervening with Her Majesty’s Govern. ment, Of course Mr. Kent’s friends can pre. sent a petitionto the English Home secre- tary fora pardonor reduction of sentence, and in doing sothey- can, with propriety, urge every proper consideration in Mr. Kent’s behalf.’’ It will be observed that while Gov. Waller, who made a minuce examination of the case in London, saw reasons for the release of Kent, Mr. Blaine finds reasons for his deten- tion. Mr. Phelps, it would appear, tried to do some good, while *Mr. Lowell ignored the matter altogether, Kent’s friends gay that they are painfully surprised at Mr. Blaine’s letter, and that if he had looked into the ‘case he would know that Kent was not allowed to explain anything at the trial, and that from his surroundings he was unable ‘‘to produce any evidence to- show his innocence.’’ His witnesses Were in New York, and he had no money, and his defense was maintained through the kindness of Dr. Gallagher, who recognized that in invitinghim to London he was the means of getting Kent. into trouble, Kent’s friends in America think Mr. Blaine should lean to the side of the citizen and render what assistance he could to obiain his ardon. His letter quoted above is based on he report of Minister Lincoln,and the sources of Mr. Lincoin’s information are obviously English official ones in contrast to those of Gov. Waller, who examined the case per- sonaliy. in — ~~!

SING Since, N. Y., April 30.—This morning Ferdinand Ward walked forth from the gloomy portals of the State prison once more afreeman. He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in 1885, but good conduct short- ened his term. Ward is not yet 41 years of age, and save for the serious expression of his face there is lit- tle to indicate even these years. There are few gray strands in the sparse covering of dark-brown hair which partly covers his head. The lines in the forehead are few and faint, and the only features s6uUg- gestive of age are dim hollows wun- der his eyes and a drawn expression apout the mouth. His nose is long, with just the faint suggestion of a hook atthe end; his cheek bones highand prominent; his mouth small and firm; his eyes gray, small and beady. The skinof Ward’s face is not quite so sallow as it was when he entered the prison, but there yet remains enough of the hue to preserve the unpleasant expres- sion, almost sinister, when he indulges in one of his rare smiles, for which he was noted in his palmiest days. He is quick 0 oe eee _ oF a” 2 ‘ YY ttf - pg = <=“ ee at — Mh 4444 ,\ \ yl A Muu ulld ‘ " N\\yI Ferdinand Ward. and nervous in his movements and his eyes, ever restive, anticipate every action. Since he has been an inmate of Sing Sing prison he has become an expert printer and could easily earn decent wages if he were so In- clined. It is not probable that he will under- take or be compelled to do so, however. It may be that Ward will never be compelled to work for his living again. Perhaps some of the money he and the mysterious Spencer are said to have made, ora few thousands of the amounts he paid to Witness Warner ‘‘in the ordinary course of business,’’ which could not be explained at thetrial, were laid aside for his benefit, after paying the penalty for his crime. A million at least of the enor- mous profits of Grant & Ward has never been accounted for, and Ward may be able to find them, though no one else could or did so. The best posted people say he may have transferred several nundred thousand dollars to friends, whoare holding it forhim, Per- haps these friends have appropriated this money to theirown use and treated Ward as he treated others. He declares that he is penniless and will have to begin lifealloverayain. His first act will be to go to Connecticut to see his 8-year- old son. His wife died about three years ago. Ward does not think he will be arrested again on the indictments pending against him. He has served his term and thinks the law should be satisfied. He says that he would rather remainin Sing Sing than to have to tlee to Canada to escape arrest. WARD’S LIFE sSTory”, The story told by Ferdinand Ward of his own career from the date of his birth at Gen- eseo, in this State, in 1851, till he was ar- rested in 1885, is a remarkable narrative and develops in a modest way, singulurly at vari- ance with his character, the circumstances which elevated him from an underpaid clerk tothe controller of millions and adviser of millionaires. Ward was an undersized boy when his father, a minister, sent him to the Temple Hill Academy at Geneseo to be educated. At 17 young Ward went to a preparatory school at Princeton, but trouble with his eyes compelled him to leave his studies and returnhome. He worked ina carpenter’s shop for six months, leaving it toestablish and publish an amateur journal. This verlture was not asuccess and he em- barked inthe study of law, which he prose- cuted fora year. He afterward worked for $25a month inthe New York Produce Ex- change. After three years he was made As- sistant Superintendent at a salary of $1,500 a year. He lived in humble style itn Brooklyn at this time and became a member of Dr. Storrs’ church. He was ‘ireasurer of the Sunday-school connected with the church. While attending here he met and married Miss Green, Gaughter of Sidney Green, a director of the Marine Bank. Green intro- duced Ward to President Fish, and aftera short acquaintance Wardand Fish engaged in the stock brokerage business. Green died. leaving a comfortable fortune, and Fish closed up the estate with Ward’s help. Ward and Fish became interested tin the Evening Star Mine in Colorado;which they stocked at a good capital procured by Ward through the influence of fish. U. 5%. Grant, Jr., was one of the stockholders. By degrees he and Ward came together, and on July 1, 1880, the two formed a partnership with $300, - ooo capital. Fish wasamember of the firm and its chief adviser, THE GENERAL A PARTNER. Within a few months after the partnership was formed U. 8. Grant, Jr., was induced by Fish and Ward to ask his father, the General, to invest $50,000 in the business. ‘The ex- President did so and divided his interest be- tween himself, his wife and his son Jesse. In this way the whole Grant family became identified with the fifm, and Ward, aided by Fish, permitted and even encouraged the im- ression to prevailthat the General wasat he head of the business. This was doneto attract patronage, asthe General had great influence. Ward,in relating the history of the firm, claimed that Fishand Grant, Jr., were head financiers and that great sums of money were lost in» following their sugges- tions. He intimated that all the profitsor the firm were realized through hisown energy and labor. As ap instance of the way in which Gen. Grant was used as a tool by schemers Ward and Fish, Ward related how the General once introduced him to Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, who was interested in Southern mining properties. Gen. Gordon was at the time femporarily embarrassed and wanted assistance. Gen. Grant, who took no part in the management of the affairs of Grant: & Ward, mentioned the_ fact of Gordon’s embarrassment to Ward, and the latter undertook to help the Southerner. The firm took the stock of the mines, paid their debts and favored Gordon in all ways. The mines proved to be worth- less and Grant & WardNost at least $130,000 in the venture, Similar \losses through Gen, Horace Porter - enormous business, : . a — a = ene SS = = i + ones eer nt al i i —* - -< teeeene ee ee eee The number of “QUICK MEAL” “QUICK MEAL “JEWETT’S” ught Steel Ranges rigerators consume & Ranges, fir ks w RINGEN STOVE GO, 414 N.

In this way the firm was seemingly doing an As an evidence of the amount of this bus!- ness young Ulysses Grant was credited with $770,424 profits up to August, 1883. The reports of these great profits, all manipulated on pa per by Ward, gave the firm the reputation of being one of the leading financial institu- tions in the world, when, in fact, it was already onthe brink of ruin. People, trust- ing to Gen. Grant’s integrity, put money into the firm and were paid exorbitant rates of interest. Wardkept things going by using the money of one investor to pay another’s interest and premiums on investments, so that he always had available money to meet pressing obligations. Nobody but Ward and Fish, itwas and isstill believed, knew the the real condition of the affairs of the firm. THE CRASH FORESEEN. The crash which carried the firm out of ex- istence was foreshadowed by the events of May 4, 1884... The Marine Bank needed money to meeta check from the city for $300,000. Ward, at Fish’s suggestion, went skirmishing for it. He was advised to go to Gen. Grant, but decided to try Stephen B. Elkins, now Secretary of War, first. He met Elkins at the Union League Ciub and asked for $150,000, El- kins refused to loan It Ward then went to Gen. Grant, and by falsely representing the true condition of affairs, induced the General to accompany him to the house of W. H.Van- derbilt, where the General secured a loan of $150,000. Ward planned to borrow the other $150,000 needed, but could not doit. The fail- ure occurred on May 6. Before it became known Ward gave U. S. Grant, Jr., a check for $150,000 payableto the order of Vander- bilt, who received it. The Marine Bank had an account with Grant & Ward. It invested money through the firm and got back profits aggregating 10 per cent. On one occasion the bank received $12,000 for the use of $100,000 for ninety days. These ernormous rates were realized by hy- pothecation, ‘‘kiting’’ relndorsements and renewals. One of the customers of Grant & Ward wasaMr, Warner. Onthe night after the failure Ward saw Warner and agreed to give him his property, and so the next day. War said the property was procured fronr him by threats, al- though he could notexplain why Warner should threaten him. He said Warner made $1,000,000 profits out of the firm, There has always existed a suspicion that Warner and Ward understood each other very well and that they doso yet. Ward’s arrest and con- viction followed the failure, He was incar- cerated in Ludiow Street Jail, where he paid $40 a week for private board and where he first made public the disclosures which re- sulted in his own condemnation and the vin- dication of Gen. Grant.

The trial was one of the most notable that ever occurred in this country, and lasted five days. He was charged with grand larceny tn obtaining the certification of a check for $71,800 from the Marine Bapk with intent to defraud on false pretenses.The other counts in the indictment against Ward were dismissed. Jamés D. Fish, the President of the Marine Bank, who was sentenced to ten years’ im- risonment three months before for emi ezziement, was the principal witness against Ward. The defense resolved itself into a virulent abuse of Fish, who had en- couraged Ward’s questionable acts, but the jury promptly convicted Ward. There were many sensational incidents connected h the trial, but all efforts to discover whereabouts of the profits of the firm of Grant & Ward proved fruitless. One feature of the trial was the introduction of testimony showing that the city of New York lost §1,- 000,000 by the failure of Grant & Ward. J. Nelson Tappen, who was the City lain in 1884 and a director in the a Bank, brought sult against Ward, but betors 36 was tried and the real facts to light. ‘é Ferdinand Ward's unusual manner of ofugly rumors, ano —— hack had use of the W fleet team to ae A Aaah drew the ‘‘d leav- the many ey oe and that the know prison authorities ment.

FS ; . + n Niedringhaus and Dr. Masden | Have Another Tilt. JHE PASTOR OF THE MILLIONAIRES EX- PLAINS HIS SERMON ON RICHES. He Draws Sharp Contrasts Between Wealth and Poverty in the City—The Rich, as Well as the Poor, a Danger to Society—Mr. Niedringhaus Says the Workingman’s Condition Has Bettered The picture of Dr. C. P- Masden leaning Over the pulpit in Union Methodist Church checking ex-Congressman F, G. Niedring- haus in the beginning of a tariff speech he was about to deliver from E. 0. stanard’s pew has been painted by the newspapers ofa hundred cities since last Sunday. None are more surprised at the general interest taken in the episode than the two gentlemen th®m- selves. The friends of Mr. Niedringhaus say that he forgot himself for the moment, and stirred by the preacher’s declaration that the poor of _ this country were getting poorer while the rich grew richer, rose impetuously, thinking for the moment that he was in Congress and not in church, and intent on advancing his favorite theory that the protective tariff has dragged the workingman out of the morass of poverty. As for Dr. Masden, he has been both pleased and wonder-struck by the dis- covery that he has been brought forward as the pulpit champion of the poor. He is a thin man of 40, with side-whiskers, clean shaven otherwise. His forehead is high and rather narrow. His mouth is small and he keeps his lips tightly closed when he is not speaking. Clear gray eyes look at one from behind his gold-rimmed spectacles. His whole face isthat of an eager student. MISERY IN OUR CITIES, **] preached that sermon to which Mr. Niedringhaus took exception from a few skeleton notes,as you may see,’’ said Dr. Masden, rocking in an easy chair and pointing to a few sheets of note Rew. C. PF. Masden. paper lying on his desk in the study of his Garrison avenue house. ‘‘Christ weeping over Jeruselam gave me my idea. Then I passed to the modern city and its suf- fering. Allow me a trifie of repetition, so that the logic of my statements will be pre- served.’’ The preacher crossed one slippered foot over the other and touched the fingers of his hands together. Then, half from memory and half extempore, he proceeded, his eyes growing brighter as the twilight fell in the room. ‘*A view of one of our greatcities in its interior wickedness and outward disgrace is enough to meltaheart of stone,’’ he began, with the pulpit intonation. ‘**Those bonest par- ents, those simple cottagers,who parted with sons and daughters amid prayers and bless- ings to seek their fortunesin the distant city, and have received them back again, wrecked and ruined, the son from prison and the daughter froma Magdalene, ready todiein the arms of forgiving yet broken-hearted affection, are not so likely to admire its grandeur asto weepoverits awful sin and desolation. That old legend of a monster, to satisfy whose voracious appetitea city had year by year to sacrifice a number of its vir- gins, who, amid the. lamentations of their mothers and the grief of their kindred, wére led away trembling to his den, is no fable but a practicaland dreadful fact inall modern cities. Well may every holy mother and godly father gather their children beneath their wings as the mother bird does her helpless brood when hawks are screaming in the sky. ‘‘Moral contagion and mental defilement are spreading their immoral miasma and isoning the very atmosphere of city life. Bomtact is a wonderful conductor ofevil. The law of leprosy is fatal. Whocan touch pitch and not be defiled? Men who would walk a mile to avoida pest- house, so dainty as not to pass a hospital and so careful about their children as not to let them be exposed to the whooping cough, will read the last book the devil has ‘written and allow him cut the pages for them; they will attend the theater and sit be- side the libertine and harlot. **After this,’’ continued the preacher, dropping into a more matter of fact manner ofspeech, ‘‘I said that our modern cities were the strategic points of Christianity. First, Decause the trend of population is toward the cities. In 1800 there were only six cities in the United States with a population of over 8,090 inhabitants, Now there are over 300. In 1800 the urban population of this country was one-twenty-fifth of the whole population andis now about one-fourth. Then I used these words: Inourcitiesare the two great extremes of social life—mammonism and pauperism. Here the rich are becoming richer and the poor poorer. BOTH RICH AND POOR DANGEROUS. **Both extremes are Gangerous,and threat- en ourcivilization. Mammonism iscorrupting popular morals. Men will doalmost anything —Sunday travel, Sunday amusements and Sunday newspapers—because there is money in it. Licentious literature and gambling fiourish, inspite of law, because there is money init. The liquor traffic grows and thrives at the expense of every human inter- est because there is money in it. ‘*Beside this, corrupting public morals, Mmammonism leads to licentiousness. The epithet applied by Matthew Arnold to Chica- gzO as ‘too beastly prosperous,’ hasa subtle meaning; and, the sensuous life and brutal- izing tendency of mammon can be seen by the moralist in all our large cities. **The millionaire and tramp are the com- plement each ofthe other. ‘he despotism of the rich and the wretchedness of the poor necessarily . produce discontent, | social- ismanad anarchy. It takes no prophet to predict that, with:this chasm ever widening and these classes ever increasing, unless Christianity shakes hands across the mighty chasm in a spiritual brotherhood,and the rich become generous and the poor grate- ‘ful, antagonisms and riots and general ‘anarchy will follow, and the real final test of ,our civilization will come in this struggle of ‘these two classes. AWFUL CITY DEGRADATION. **Then I spoke of the saloon,’’ Dr. Masden Wenton. ‘‘in Boston there is one saloon for every 829 persons; Chicago, one to every 179; New York, one to every 171, and St. its full quota, The both the cause and : city degradation. Beside the saloon asa ay upon our civilization and the curse of the liquor traffic, there is foots impurity like the leper’s touch tng the home life, filling our land with divorces and blasting virtue until you must have some sure credentials before you can risk an introduction toa stranger. In addi- peg to all this, the desecration of God’s holy oison- threatens the dissolution of the fabric of Christian society. For when the rest and worship ofthe Sabbath are ne, away go your morals and religion. ithout worship we will become a nation of atheists, anda nation of atheists with good morals is an im- ’ possibility, and our very civilization depends upon our preservation of the Sabbath. not simply a question of religion, but also of perpetuity of government in our nation. ° A TERRIBLE GLANCE AHEAD. cities in the pe Socata Tears It is* and labor intotradesunions. Whenclass an- tipathies have deepened; when the corruption of city vernment has grown apace; when starvation isin the home, and sullen and desperate and idle men are in the saloon; when Socialistic organizations, armed and drilled, and the vicious elements of a crowded city population, with the tre- mendous force of chemistry within reach, ‘march forth to destroy, then will come the test of our civilization. And the statesman is wise who forecasts the dreadful day and tries to pee the fearful catastrophe by the law of moral reformation and prevention, and like Christ beholding the doom of Jerusa- lem before it came. ‘‘When he saw the city he wept over it,’’ TAKING CAPITAL TO TASK. spoke ofthe conservation of capt- tal,’’ said Dr. Masden, sinking back from his erect position. ‘‘The great problem of political economy is not in how few or how many hands shall the wealth of the nation be placed, but how shall those use it who have it. The spoke of the workingman as well, and his conservation. I said ithe work- ingman hold a preponderance of power in Our cities. They are the great majority, and sad tosay,theyasaclass are not found inour city churches. DISAPPROVES OF MISSIONS. **Gointothe city church and you will see merchants, physicians, lawyers, teachers salesmen, clerks, and a portion of educated mechanics; but the great majority of work- ingmen are notthere. Whatever may be the cause—whether they imagine the church the patron of the capitalist, or insufficient cloth- ing, or lack of welcome, or interest in the character of the services—the fact stares us in the face. ‘*This state of things will never be cured by building churches for the rich and mission chapels forthe poor. The workingman does not want to be treated as a patron, but as a brother in Christ. God’s plan is: ‘The rich and poor meet together, and the Lord is the maker ofthem all.’ God’s estimate of man- hood ts not riches or poverty, but character, Christ was born poor.’’ THE PREACHER HAS PROOFS. Possibly the disapproval of missions ex- pressed in the last paragraph hurtthe mill- ionaire manufacturer quite as much as any **T ne F. G. Niedringhaus. thing else inthe sermon, for Mr, Niedring- haus has built a mission chapel for his work- ingmen, and hasa preacher forthem. But Dr. Masden did not allude to this special mls- sion when he spoke. ‘‘Mr.Niedringhaus and 1 had quite a talk after the sermon,’’ said he, ‘*but it is plain that he has not studled the condition of our working peo- ple generally. He is kind to his people; he was a workingman himself; he sees that they have improved their condition and he his, and he does not look beyond. If he will contend that the rich have not grown richer and the poor poorer, then the reverse must be true? Will anyone say that the rich have grown poorer and the poor richer? Here is a contrast: When Vandérbilt died, his estate was valued at $201,000,000,an amount yreater than the assessable property of any one of forty-one States inthe Union. In the city where he lived and dled, there is a law that no voter shall be a juror unless he is worth $250, and the Commissioner’s returns show that 70,000 voters are not worth this amount. Mr. Flower says that 150,000 people goto bed hungry every night in New York. Gen. Booth in describing the submerged millions of London says that 3,000,000 are notable to support themselves. In i880, of all the persons engaged in all the occupations, 1,118,356 were children under 15, and this numberinten years increased 21 per cent more rapidly than the population.’’ ‘*In discussing the matter after your ser- vices last Sunday, did Mr. Niedringhaus re- peat the statement he made in church, that wages had increased in the last few years, and that the wages now could buy mofe than it did then?’’ ‘*Yes, he did, but he has not noticed that there isa great difference between the per- centage of wage increase and the percentage of wealth increase. in 1800 the millionaires of this country were easily counted, but who can numberthem now? Of course the rich are gettingricher and the poor poorer, The facts show it. Although the workingmen now get better wages than they did ten or twenty years ago, the wages have not in- creased in the ratio that the tax- able wealthy of the country has.’ For instance, the United States increased in wealth from 1868 to 1880 over 171 per cent, and in the last ten years the ratio of increase has been even greater. In 1868, the wealth of the United States was $16, 160,000,000. THE WORKMAN DOES NOT PROFIT. In 1880 this had increased to $43,642,000,000, a net increase of over 171 per cent. During that period slavery’s abolition took $1,250,000 out of the wealth of the country, to saynoth- ing of the immense cost of the war. Conse- quently, the ratio of increase from 1880 to 1890 must have been greater than 171 percent, as the country has been very prosperous during thattime. Now, then, who can show that the wages of the workingmen have increased 171 per cent in the last twenty years?’’ ‘‘Doyouaccept Mr. Niedringhaus’ claim that $iof the workingman’s wages can buy more now than it did twenty years ago?’’ ‘‘In one respect that is true,’’ said the preacher. ‘*The workingman finds both tood and clothing cheaper than they used to be, but look at his rents. He has to pay 100 per cent more for house rent now than he did then, and hecan’t liveinthe country where rents are low and fresh air plenty or even in the suburbs, but he must live inthecity and pay high rents for squalid rooms.’’ The room was quite dark, and Dr, Masden got up and lit the gas. ‘‘l am not a pessi- mist and not a communist,’’ said te, ‘*l am a preacher for Christ and his people. STUDYING THE SWEATING SYSTEM. ‘*I cannot afford to devote my whole time to social arguments. I have my pastorate to attend to. This is not a discussion between Mr. Niedringhausand myself, with any per- sonal feeling init, but theretsa great situa- tion which we must look at in comparing the rich and the poor. I am not alarmed, I think our civilization will finally take care of it. Judge Tourgee’s last book. ‘Murvale Eastman,’ hits off the difficulties to a nicety that attend the preacher who goes into per- sonal study of social subjects. Eastman was a clergyman who disguised himself and worked among the poor to find out how _ they lived. His ‘March of the Golden Lilies’ was com posed of nabobs’’—and the preacher indulged himself with a smile—‘*very much like mine. I shall never do what he did, butI have studied the poor, and the sweating system in St. Louls by which they are.ground down, and I know of.whatI spoke in that sermon, This book of Tourgee’s, by the way, is going to be to social study what ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ was to the abolition movement,’’ THE BARON DECLINES TO-DEBATE. Anxious though Mr. Niedringhaus seemed to oppose the preacher’s statement in church last Sunday, he was reluctant to continue the argument when the PosT- DISPATCH sent a re- porter to him last week with the request that he would makea reply at length. The mill- ionaire stood in the center of his general office, where the scratching of fifty pens is heard all day. In appearance, as well as inspeech he was a remarkable contrast to the preacher, as he leaned against a book-keeper’s desk, stout, ruddy-faced, dressed ina cutaway suit of fine material, worn very carelessly, and twisting, as he talked, the end of his yellow beard, which he wears in Vandyke fashion, in open defiance of the artistic demands of his broad and large-boned face. ‘‘I don’t care to talk about that matter at all,’’ said he, ‘‘lam too busy. If you are honest with figures you can take the schedules and calculate yourself thatthe poorare getting better off. I have no time to talk about it now, anyway.’’ ‘*‘Will you make an appointment for some other time?’’ he was asked. Mr. Niedringhaus hesitated, and the only noise in the big office was the rustling of the leaves of a book turned by an impatient clerk. Two-score men bent over their desks and drove their pens while they Mstened for the response of the millionaire. ‘*No, I wont,’’ he said, inthe rough voice of a man with power. ‘‘ifIsaid anything I would write it out.’’ He was told thatthe Post-DIsPpatcH would be pleased to have the argument written by himself, ‘*Well, Ihaven’t time to do it,’* said he then, ‘*Some other time. I havo already explained myself sufficiently in various places. Anybody can look at the figures and see that Lam right.’’ FROM ONE ROOM TO A HOUSE.

It Should Be Secured Through a National Labor Exchange. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: There appeared in the Post-DISPATCH re- cently several dignified but unanswered com- munications received from time to time by the State Department at Washington from the Minister of China. The well-known clir- cumstances which have led up to these com- munications presenta picture having some striking features, A very ancient nation, comprising about one-third of the population of the globe; a nation of peaceful antecedents, not indeed, through all its centuries free from internal strife (what nation has been?) yeta people holding warin abhorrence and military power in light esteem ; industrious and skillful, having been beforehand in the knowledge and use of a large share of so-called modern inventions. This immense empire, possessing a well-Knit social structure and an exalted moral code chose to remain apart from the people of other races. The history of the forcing of commerce upon them until one port after another was open to trade, is familiar, as are the cruel opium wars in which a deadly curse was fastened on them bya Christian nation. An acquaintance formed later with the theory and practice of our republic impressed them so with its likeness to their own time-honored principles that they entered heartily into treaty relations, in which we, on our part, were equally hearty. Yet we now have the spectacle of 20,000 Chinése having temporarily left their business and possessions here to visit their native land, bearing certificates under the sealof the United States to permit their return, yet excluded without notice through legislation adopted in their absence and even while some of them were making their return voyage. The reason for this un- American treatment is as picturesque a feat- ure as any other. Chinese cheap labor. American labor cannot compete with it, and Chinese exclusion is adopted in self-defense. How sad thatthe logicof necessity and the logic of justice must cross each other so sharply! But the Chinese episode only makes con- spicuous a state of things that may likewise come, and does come with increasing fre- quency, from other causes as well as from Chinese cheap labor. Starvation wages and unemployed thousands will not cease to be facts with the exclusion of the Chinese; and suromary methods like these used in dealing with the Celestials are hardly available oe all the causes of oppression. fhen our ancestors ordained and estab- lished the Constitution of the United States to ‘‘promote the general wejfare’’ they could not have imagined that under its provisions there would now be three million idle men asking for work,a half million working for pay too small to relieve their families’ neces- sities and one two-thousandth of the people owning one-half its wealth. Had they believed this they would surely **in order to form a more perfect union’’have decreeda minimum value to honest labor, reducible to terms of tood and clothes, where- on no man should trespass. Such a minimum can be fixed now, and all the work be divided among all the workers, or else our Government is impotentto ‘‘es- tablish justice’’ and ‘‘insure domestic tran- quillity.’’ There are two requisites. The General Government must insure the doing, every- where, of all neglected work essentialto the perfect cleanliness at all times of streets, alleys, cellars, etc., the perfect sanitation of both city and country, and the prevention of waste, using the unemployed labor and pay- ing for it at a living rate. Secondly, there must de established a bureau, managed na- tionally, and equal eMciency and cheapness to the service, furnishing information will counteract the overcrowding of certain Call- ings or certain localities and also acting directly asa national labor exchange. With the sanitary work open toall who come and with the definite light and knowledge pro- mulgated through the ‘‘bureau’’ it will ney that all labor must be fairly compen- sated. But before such a work can be adopted by the Government it must take form. Given a half dozen millionaires ambitious for an- other fame than that of wealth, let them by offering premiums, enlist inventive minds to furnish details, put the plan in operation, improve upon it and then transfer it to Gov- ernment control and the thing is done. Where are the millionaires, or in default of them where isthe union or association that will reach past the limitsof its voluntary mem- bership, and in doing this serve all? HELEN M.

WHATIS EXPECTED TO COME OF THE DELIBERATIONS IN OMAHA. What Will the Conference DoP-A Body With Almost Absolute Power—Pros pects for the Election of New Bishops— A Change inthe Episcopal Tenure Im- probable. . OMAHA, April 30.—The ever recurring ques- tion in Methodist circles for a year or more has been ‘‘What Will the General Conference Do?’’ This is the body which is now conven- ing in Omaha. Itis made upof picked rep- resentatives from the hundred and more an- nual conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Laymen will sit in it side by side with the clergy, though not in equal numbers, and of both classes there will be many whose fame is co-extensive with the nation, and not a few who will come laden with hon- ors from abroad. These chosen men will each represent a large constituency, and in their combined force they will be fairly rep- resentative of the intelligence and moral sen- timent of one of the very largest of our churches. Their deliberations will con- tinue throughout the whole of May, and what they decree will be the law and the gospel for at least four years to about two and a’half millions of people. This conference can do almost what it pleases. Providing the six restrictive rales are not transgressed ft could recast, if it chose, the entire. Methodist machinery, and until the lapse of a quadrennium brought together another body of similar power there would be no chance for either reversal or appeal. Hence the deep interest it awakens, x a * Just at this time it would seem as though the Methodists were the most dissatisfied body of religionists on the face of the globe. Judging from the discussions in the church press, and from the deliverances made in preachers’ meetings and elsewhere, hardly anything about their church seems to suit ex- actly—except it be certain cardinal doctrines —and there is scarcely anything that appears to be settled. So many changes have been suggested within a year, that columns would be needed to merely catalogue them, and so radical are some of these, that if by any chance they should be adopted, or if any considerable proportion of them should be, the grand old church would be so transformed that its best friends would hardly know it. But no danger need be apprehended. The machinery or the church will be altered a little, but it will not be revolutionized. These storms of unrest are for the most part only wind storms. .They always occur about the timethe general conference con- venes. But they soon blow over, and far from doing harm, they do good. Itisa great relief to aspiring genius to ventilate its views and free institutions are never harmed by free discussion, The great question is, ‘‘Will the General Conference elect any new bDishops, andif any, how many and whom?’’ The last con- ference Added five tothe Episcopal lst, be- sides electing a missionary bishop for Indla. The individuals promoted were Bishops Vin- cent, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Newman, Good- sell and Thoburn. A _ singular fact in connection with jthe election of four years ago is that at different § times in the contest Earl Cranston of Cincinnati was in the lead of both Newman and Good- sell. Considering that he failed of final elec- tion, Dr. Cranston had an astonishingly large vote, anditis safeto say that had it not been fora pecullar combination of cir- cumstances, such as will probably never occur agajn, he would not have failed, but would have received the two-thirds majority made necessary by that conference to an |election. One of the best proofs of his supe- rior fitness for the place is that on that occasion so many of his brethren cast their votes forhim, and one does not need to be a prophet to foretell that, unless all signs and precedents shall fail, his name will be the first to receive favorable atten- tion from the body now convening. The only thing which could prevent his election, if any election of new bishops should occur, its a fact which is immensely creditable to him, viz., that his superbabilityasa book agent may make him fmdispensable, as the col- league of his present efficient partner, Dr. Stowe, inthe management of the Western Book Concern. — - _ That any change will be made inthe Epis- copil tenure is exceedingly improbabie,. At present the bishops are elected for life, and the cry isthatif the term were limited to eight ora dogen yearsthe bishops would be less inclined to air it over their brethren, would be more conciliatory in their adminis- tration, more amenable to wholesome disci- pline, and as a whole more laborious and ef- fective. This is the argument, But there is so much to be said on the other side, and so much, at the proper time, will be said on that side that the conference, unless it should turn-out to be far more radical than such bodies usnelly. are, is very eo / to con- clude thatif the Episcopal office is worth preserving at all it Should be kept as free as possible from church politics, and as far as possible out of the reach of wire-pulling, and rthy ofthe unique dignity it office in the gift of the = Oiiatt in law; but it was always _ yet ge ere wasa common understand- short th ing that it must be short. : a. ¥ ition to kee lon than $ ward . @ belp your family in she | jot siding eldership being simultaneously length- ened to six years. This was done when the general conference met four yearsago. Still, however, are many of the brethren dissatis- fled, and it goes without saying that in the ss conferen these restive spirits will e heard from. hat they will ask isthat now the limit be removed altogether. This would be a radical change, ana would almost destroy the itinerancy. Hence, the confer- ence may be expected to make haste slowly in allowing it to take place, FATHER HUNTINGTON’S NEW PLAN. He Will Take the Sweaters’ Victims to Slum Among the Rich. From the New York WORLD. Father James Huntington appeared yester- day before the convention of shirtmakers, shirtcutters and laundry-workers at the Flor- ence Building, Second avenue and First street, and deliveredan address on Episco- palian work. Father Huntington said he had arranged to take a delegation next Saturday of the east side victims of the ‘‘sweating’’ system toa meeting of rich people, ‘*The rich have been slumming a long time among the east side tenements,’’ he con- tinued, ‘‘and now I intend to take these wretched people to ‘slum’ among the rich and seeif itis not possible to interest the wealthy inthe deplorable condition of these poor workers. As the rich seem unable to convert themselves we will goand try and see what we can do for them. Father Huntington advocates the establish. | ment of boards of conciliation with employ- ers so as to do away with strikes. The convention wascalledto form a na- tional union. Most of the delegates, who came from the principal neighboring cities, were women. Julius Simons was Chairman. The delegates reported the deplorable state oftheir trade in various localities, and said there was no hope for them save by forminga strong organization. It was decided to form a national union, callit the National Shirt Trade Association and to incorporate in it al branches of the trade.

The Lady Managers and Board of Directors of the Colored Orphans’ Home, 1427 North Twelfth street, will give a grand musical and literary entertainment at Music Hall, Expos!i- tion Building, to-morrow evening at 8 o’clock. The managers are making strong efforts to extricate the home from its present financial difficulties. The home has been established for three years and the managers have never before called upon the public for assistance, but changes have been made which involve large expense. The majority of the board are teachers in the public schools and Christian women of differ- ent creeds, thus rendering the Home non- sectarian. They are greatly interested in maintaining the Home, because of the preju- dice existing, which excludes the mixing of the races in such institutions. Those who wlil take part are Prof. Peter Clarke, John A. Freeman, James A. Harris, Mrs. Annie Clemens and others. Practice Boat Launched. ELIZABETHPORT, N. J., April 30.—The prac- tice boat Bancroft, built for the use of naval cadets at Annapolis, was launched shortly after noon to-day from the yards of the Samuel Moore & Sons Co. at Elizabethport. The occasion was made a holiday by the peo- ple of the little town, and many hundreds caine from the neighboring towns to witness the event. f\ pe \: SRY | ) gt hf (Kh NG BISHOP DANIEL 8. TUTTLE. Rt. Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, Episcopal Bishop ofthe Diocese of Missouri, commemorates to-day the twenty-fifth anniversary of his consecration. The event will not be marked by much pomp and ceremony but by simple services, In accordance with the wishes of the Bishop. At 8 o’clock this eveningin Christ Church Cathedral, Thir- teenth and Locust streets, Bishop Tuttle and as many of the clergy ofthe diocese as duty will permit to come will assemble inthe chancel. Rt. Rev. George S. Seymour, of Springfield, Ill., who as headof St. Ste- phen’s College, Annandale, and as presbyter of New York, was present at Bishop Tuttle’s consecration will preach the sermon. Bishop Tuttle will probably be constrained to make a few re- marksin reply. An excellent musical pro- gramme has been prepared under the direc- tion of Rev. Carroll M. Davis. To-morrow morning at 10 0’clock the Bishopand clergy will joiu together in a celebration of Holy Communion at the Cathedral. Daniel 8S. Tuttle was born at Windom, Green County, N. Y., Jan. 2%, 1837. He graduated from Columbia College, New York City, in 1857, and fortwo years was tutor in his Alma Mater. He was ordained deacon by Bishop Horatio Potter of New York, June 29, 1862, and became the assistant of Rev. George L. Foote of Morris, Otsego County, New York, At the death of Dr. Foote, in 1863, the energetic young deacon was elected to preside over the parish. In June, 1863,he was ordained priest by Bishop Horace Potter, and on Sept. 21, 1863, he married Miss Harriet M. Foote, the daughter of preceding rector, Rev.

—_ _ PAY OF TEACHERS, fBerious Complaints That It Doesn't % ms Come Often Enough ~ = oe ARS @T. LOUIS THE ONLY CITY WHICH MAKES ONLY EIGHT PAYMENTS A YEAR. ‘Emstructors in the Public Schools in Every Other City Receive Their Sal- aries in From Ten to Twelve Install-; ments—St. Louis Teachers Four Months “Without Pay—Some of Them Bortow . From Money-Lenders. 1 When the State Legislature framed a law in $879, which under sec. 2538 provides for the payment of salaries and wages by corpora- tions, such wages to be paid on the isth day of each month for the full amount of all wages earned previous to the Ist day of that month, it followed the lead of other States with a view of protecting wage-workers against the ‘‘shaving system,’’ attendant upon irregular methods of payment and, therefore, disastrous tothe income of the workingman. Thislawcovers the payment of wages toail classes of people, thus guar- anteelnga monthly income of a stipulated sum ona stipulated day. Inasmuch as this principle governs all classes of business it seems ratber strange that the teachers of the public schools of St. Louls are paid their an- nual salariesinonly eight installments, the lowest number in along lstof cities, both jarger and smallerthan the Mound City and with the greatest intervals between each pay day. In St. Louis the scholastic year is divided into forty weeks. When school commences, @s it does the coming year on Sept. 5, the first pay-day falls on the 1ith of October, or six weeks after the beginning of school. The next pay-day comes five weeks thereaf- ter, and the third five weeks later again, while the fourth is again six weeks off, owing to the Christmas week, which is dropped en- tirely out of the year. From that time on the remaining pay-days occur at intervals of five weeks each until the last which comes at the end of four weeks, and is identical with the close of school, so that from the middle of June to the middle of October no money whatever is paid to teachers. Foresight and forethought are notthe at- tributes of youth, and it would be unreason- mbile to ask, orexpect of a young person to provide during a meager money-bringing period foralongtime of absolute non-pro- duction. This, of course, is possible in the instance of older instructors with larger salaries, than those apportioned to the ma- jority of third and second grade assistants. But itis unreasonable to suppose, and un- reasonable to expect, that a young girl with anannual salary of $400 or $000 which she Yeceives in eight installments, and an inter- vening lapse of four months, will husband and manage each of these eight payments in such a manner that she can save sufficient for the period of four months without pay. The consequences are manifold, and always resuit in hardship tothe innocent victim of a custom which is entirely out of harmony with the customs of communities, and is therefore obsolete and arbitrary. TEACHERS IN DEBT. It leads above all to that unfortunate and disastrous process by whichthe money-lend- er is called in to bridge over the wide chasm with so terrible a drain and strain, mental, moraland physical, upon the unsuspecting new-comer to such practices, that it will be Yelt fora long time to come. Salaries are hypothecated at a high rate of interest; friends must be importuned to the deep ~Humiliation of those who are forced to do so through sheer necessity. Strange as it may seem, the officers of the School Board down to the janitors, are 7 monthly, and this deviation from he rule that governs the pay- ment of teachers, suggests the idea, that either these officers and clerks are in- capable of fivanciering as cleverly and thoughtfully on a much greater margin than they expect young third-grade teachers to do on comparatively nominal sums, or that their moraland commercial standing, which is often identical, is not of that high standard by which the teacher, who receives her pay at long intervals, prevails upon the butcher, the baker and the candlestick-maker to grant her a longer term of creait than he would to the officers, torexample. And where this is not the case, the tradesman will likely look ather askance, because he feels that the teacher of hischildren should above all be ssessed of that virtue of promptitude which n her case ranks in his eyes equal with that of her veracity. The teachers of St. Louis have complained foralong time of the infrequency of their ay. Many of them are in debt to money enders under heavy interest when the Octo- ber pay Is received, and a majority of them are compelled to run in debt while ifving for four months without a cent of income. Hearing of these complaints, the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH wrote to the Secretaries of the Boards of Education of the principal cities of the country, to learn how their teachers are paid, and the replies show that St. Louis is the only large city in the country which does not pay at least once a month during the school year. IN NEW YORK. The City of New York, with its army of ublic school instructors, divides their salar- es, which range all the- way through at least One-third higher than those paid in St. Louis, into twelve monthly payments, which aoe ments are always made on or before the fteenth day for the service of the preceding month. ‘‘The salaries for June and July,’’ gays Mr. Mullen, the clerk of the Board of Education of *New York, ‘‘are paid on or about July 3, while the August salary is paid on Sept. 15,’’ so that less than two months elapse during which the teachers re- Celve no cp The Board of Education of the City of Chi- Cago has longazo adopted the planof dividing the school year into ten months of four weeks each, and the teachers of the pubiic schools of that city receive their salaries on each Saturday immediately succeeding the close of the school month. It is only at the beginning of the year that five weeks elapse, toenable the clerical force of the board to Make up the pay-rolls for a number of teachers almost twice as great as that of St. uls. Philadelphia, responding toa general agi- tation on the part of the teachers, has aban- doned the plan of long payment periods with the present school year and has, instead, adopted the plan of paying its public instruc- tors in ten monthly payments, the last one of which ismade onJuly 15. As Philadelphia as 3,100 teachers the task cf issuing the hecks is very great, and the regularity with which it is done reflects credit upon the cleri- cal management of the Board of Public Schoo! Education, the 16th day of each month being 8a) my except for the two vacation nths. The Superintendent of the Philadel- hia schools writes thus tothe SuNDAY PoOsT- DISPATCH: Many of the teachers were desirous of receiving may Salary monthly and in lieuof theold plan of warterly payments it was decided to divide the sal- ay con ten equal payments, avoiding the drawing ot warrants during Juiv and August. A letter from Mr. Phineas Bates. Secretary of the Boston Public Schools, is particularly , and is diven bere verbatim: yto your letter of April 12, I will the salaries of the teachers of the on public schools are arranged for twelve monthly payments. Salaries of teach. ers of the High School are paid at the several School bulldings, and those of the Sueieee of the Grammar School districts, in- ing teachers of the primary schools and, kindergartens, are paid at the several Gram-_ mar School buildings, monthly. Officers and special instructors are paid at the Vity Treas-* wrer’s office. It has been usual for many years to the salaries forthe months of June and Julyin July. A proposition was Fearn te to the board last September to pay teachers in ten monthly installments, but proposition, after careful consideration, was not adopted. I refer you herewith to the report of the Committee on Accounts, school document No. 4, 1892, and call your at- tention to pages 12,18 and 17, Yours very truly, PHINEAS BaTEs, | **Secretary.’’ The School Board of Boston considered the comfort and welfare of its teachers far more im nt than the increase of labor for the clerical force of the City Treasurer. When the factis taken into consideration “that Boston, which ranks lower in popula- tha Louls, and has neafiy 1,700 tion t. teachers, which are thus paid peonthly, it peoms stiange that the board og’ the Pubuc | / cumbersome task, that » Schools of St. Louis, with its 1,300 teachers, should consider the pay mens on teen ch © but eight timesayear. The iniavies too, in Boston are much more liberal than in the 8t. Louls Schools, Fourth and third assistants there mh rng witha minimum salary of $456, and reaching in seven years the maxi- mum of $744, while here the third assistant begins with $400, and reaches the munificent maximum of after five years’ hard toil. Throughout all the grades the salaries range much higher in the ‘‘Hub’’ than they do here. ONCE A MONTH IN BALTIMORE. The Baltimore School Board also makes a very nice and thoughtful provision for the material comfort of itsteachers by dividing the annual salary into twelve equal pay- ments, payable on the last Saturday of each month, ‘‘two of which,’’ says Mr. Cowles, the Secretary of the Commissioners of Public Schools of that city, ‘‘are paid on the payday for June, viz: Juneand July, atthe sametime, so that they will have their money for the holidays and not have to return at the end of July.’’ San Francisco also pays its teachers in twelve monthly installments, so that they need never find themselves entirely out of funds for a lon athe age period. The Board of Education of Cincinnati pays the instructors of the public schools in ten installments. George E. Griffith, the clerk of the board, writes: ‘«School began Sept. 7. Thus our teachers were paid for two weeks service on Sept. 21, and making their last pay day come in June.’’ The law of paying the Cincinnati! teachers inten installments was passed as early as Feb. , 1882, and the antiquated method of aa ing at long intervals was then abandoned. Owing to the straightened condition of the finances of the Board of Directors of the Pub- lic Schools in New Orleans the schools are kept open only during eight months, but the teachers are paid monthly there on the 12th or 15th day of each month for services ren- dered during the preceding month. Mr. Blain Jamison, the Secretary, writes that with the coming scholastic year matters will have improved to such an extent as toena- ble them to run the schools for nine months, and perhaps pay,the teachers something dur- ing vacation, Mr. Henry E. Legler, the Secretary of the Milwaukee board, says: ‘‘“Teacners employed in the public schools of this city are paid on the first Saturday af- ter the first Tuesday in each monthof the school year, salaries paid in ten monthly installments.’’ The manual of the public schools of Minne- apolis contains under the head of ‘‘kules for the Government of Schools’’ the following paragraph: The principal of each school building shall on Fri- day before the regular meeting of the board, which occurs on the last Tuesday of each month, make out and transmit to the office of the board the pay-roll for his building upon blanks furnished for that pur- pose, indicating the annual salary of each teacher and janitor according to the schedule of salaries, the time of service and the amount due-each teacher and janitor for the month, which shall be the amount according tothe schedule less any deduction to be made for absence or tardiness of the teachers as per rules Nos. 39 and 40, Thescholastic year in Milwaukee ts divided into ten months. OMAHA BEATS US. Mr. F. A. Fitzpatrick, formerly principal of one of the St. Louis schools, but now Superintendent of the Omaha schools, writes that there the teachers are paid monthly in ten instaliments or two more installments than are provided for by the schools of this city. Mr. Edward W. White, the Secretary of the Board of School Inspectors of St. Paul furn- ishes some very interesting information. He writes: In making up pay rolis each month I ignore the school month aliogetherand dating the roll at end of the calendar month, cover the time taughtin that month. For instance: Twenty days comprises a schoo! month. Taking the month of May next, Mary Browaea works from the 2d continuously through the month. Icall foy teachers’ and employes’ time on the 20th, include timetothe 27th onthe roll and for the 30th and 3lst. Mary Brownis paid on suc- ceeding month’s roll. The salaries paid for primary work are also more liberal in St. Paul thanin St. Louls. In the city of Denver the teachers have nine and one-half pay days, corresponding withthe nine and one-half months that the schools are open there, and these pay days occur on the Tuesday following the last Fri- day of each month. The Board of Education of the city of Mem- phis has also long ago fallen in line with good commercial! principles by paying its teachers monthly. ‘‘To illustrate,’’ writes Mr. A. B. Hill, the secretary, ‘‘our schools opened last September, on Monday, the l4th, On Oct. 3, being the first Saturday in the month, I paid them off. Nov. 5 paid for October, Dec, 5 for November and Dec. 26 for December, Feb. 5 for January, etc., throughout the year. ‘The The cause for delay inthe March payment, which did not occur until April12, was the question raised as to whether the teachers should be paid for Thursday, the first day of the deep snow, when no school was held, consequently I could not pay until the board met and passedupon it. I am glad to say the meimbers voted unanimously to pay them,’’ From the facts and data carefully compiled it will be seen that among all the cities herein enumerated St. Louls is the only city that sticks toits eight installment pay-days, and there isno record that a change has ever been discussed or proposed. As the present board has constituted itself a board of reform, whichapplies the broom of renovation to all other matters pertaining tothe improvement of the public schools of St. Louis, it has been suggested that it should do away also with this cobweb system of paying its teachers, and fall inline with the evidently desirable and popular mode of monthly payments in vogue in other cities, being APPLAUDED THE FLAG. How the St. Louis Italian Social Club Received the American Colors. That the Italian troubles at New Orleans have not in any way dimmed the loyalty which the natives of sunny Italy who reside in St. Louis feel for this country was clearly demonstrated by an incident which occurred last week. At the meeting of the Italian Social Club at Chatsworth Hall, Seventeenth and Olive streets, last Wednesday night, the Italian ladies of the city presented the or- ganization with both Italian and American flags. When the American flag was unfurled there was a spontaneous outburst of ap- plause. Inturning it over to the society Miss Julia Angela Cavasco said: KIND FRIENDS, ONE AND ALL—Thisis one of the times that I would like to be an orator, so that I might impress you with the deep respect and love l have torthe starspangled banner of our country. Lam glad that lhave not much +o say as to the wars and batties. I have not studied them. For, after all. what are wars generally? Victory on one eside, defeat on the other; and in all a sea of human biood, My heart throbs with joy when Iiook at this starry flag, because I Know and feel thatitisa true symbol of great deeds and glorious progress. Ladies and gentlemen, afew hours spent at Castle Garden will quickly fill one with respect and devo- tion due to our national emblem. To see the thousands of emigrants from all parts of the world, that come penniless, friendiess and homeless to the land where the hungry find food, the homeless shelter, and the exiie freedom. They are not questioned why they come. The xreat gates of the iand of greatest prosperity are thrown open to all, independent of creed or nationality. Yet, let me refer you to another scene. Witness our own splendid ships laden with corn and wheat and pro- visions of all kinds to relieve the thousonds of fam- ine-stricken peasants of Russia. Such is the work done by the generous, big-hearted and broad-minded American. Our stars and sevtpes are a trinity of colors that cannot be surpassed onearth. Red ischarity, white is faith and blue is truth. Infactandintruth it would be the universal flag of the world. But, my dear friends, this lovely banner makes me wish fur another trinity. We have now two national holidays. We celebrate the glorious Declaration of Independ- ence; we celebrate the 22d day of February, as that day gave birth to the greatest man America ever pro- duced, George Washington, ‘*The Father of Our Country,’’ but why should we not celebrate a third day, the 12th day of October, in honor of that nobie ero, Christopher Colambus? His discovery of America is the — and most sublime event of all human iistory. Why = should not add to the laurel wreath of our try one more leaf for the one who 50 seitishly riskea his life and humbly begged from country to country to seek and to discover the land that was to be givento mankind—it was he who laid the corner-stone to buliid the foundation—it was he that led the way to the glorious land of freedom.

How Contractor Quinn Circumvented the Grading Law With the Mayor's Per- mission—Proposed Widening .of the Twelfth Street Bridge—Private Police Force for Forest Park—City Hall News. The Mayor’s power toissue promiscuous permits seems destined to become an inter- esting feature in public improvements. some ‘time ago Cily Counselor Marshall ruled that hereafter no grading could be done where the established grade would be changed unless damages and benefits were assessed against the adja- cent property owners as in the case of street openings. The method of procedure was s0 lengthy and expensive that the board agreed not to pass favorably on any petitions for grading during thecoming year. The board felt the inconvenience of the Counselor’s ruling, but recognized it to be in accordance with law and bowed to it. It now appears that the dificulty of the situa- tion can be obviated in an entirely unexpect- ed manner. A few weeks ago Thomas J. Quinn, a con- tractor, wished to do some grading on Dun- can avenue and being aware of the impos- sibility of getting a permit from the board he got over the difficulty by posting the required bond of $250 with the Street Department and making application for a permit to the Mayor. In the meantime he made another application to the Board of Public Improve- ments which was filed on recommendation of the street Commissioner. Two days before the primary election Quinn got his ermit and is now at work, He would never have gotten permission for the growing from the board, as each member would, by voting forthe permit, render himself lable on his individual bond for consequent damages. The Mayor’s permit is the open sesame by which the contractors can get permission to dowhat they like with the public streets. The Mayor is not individually Mable for any ensuant damages, as are the members of the board, for the reason that heisnotunder bond. It is an open question whether the permit-giving power of the Mayor should go so far as to allow public work to be carried on in a man- ner contrary to that prescribed by law. Widening the Twelfth Street Bridge. Mr. David McAdam went up to the City Hall yesterday to inquire into the progress of the proposed widening of the Twelfth street bridge. An ordinance was introduced at the last session of the Council to widen the bridge trom thirty feet, its present dimensions, to sixty-seven feet. rhis will do away entirely with any driveway on either side of the structure, and bring the bridge railings rightup tothe houses abutting on both sides of the street. This would destroy the value of the buildings and property, and asacon- sequence heavy damages will be assessed against the city. The property owners, among them Mr. McAdam, are not anxious to have the ordinance passed until, they feel reasonably certainof an adequate compen- sation for their loss. The Street Commis- sioner is anxious to settle the matter by ar- bitration. Forest Park Police Force. The metropolitan police force in Forest Park will be assisted to-day by ten park policemen, who will be put to work by Park Commissioner Fechter on his own respons!i- bility. The men will wear handsome gray uniforms, ornamented with a profusion of gold braid. Their duties will be to Keepa sharp lookout for the barbarians who mutilate the flower beds or bushes through their mania for pilfering flowers. They will also see that the park regulations are strictly enforced. Mr. Fechter and his predecessors have fought hard for a private park police and have an appropriation set apart for the pur- pose exclusively in the park fund, but their wishes were never acceded to, Mr. Fechter will get over the diffi- culty by putting on a force of Overseers and working them twelve hours a day in police uniform and make them fulfill police duty. He will provide for their payment out of the police fund, The Commissioner says thata park police force isan absolute necessity on moral and aesthetic grounds. st. Louis is the only city inthe United States that has not special police for park duty. Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Switches. The St. Louls Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Railway Co, had a number of switch bills in- troduced at Friday night session of the Coun- cil, at least one of which wlll most likely fail of passage. It provides for the construct- ing of a branch line from the Water- works reservation northwardly to a connection with their line to the Chain of The objectionable feature to bill is that it crosses new Water-works conduit at several places.

Mr. F. W. Ruckstuhl, the St. Louts sculptor, has sold his handsome group, ‘‘Mercury Amusing Himself’’ toa number of residents of Portland place. This is the magnificent ideal which attracted so much attention and was so much admired atthe last Exposition here, where it was displayed on the main floor just at the head of the stairway of the West entrance on Olive street. It shows the god Mercury teasing an eagle. Those in- terested in art and in beautifying and em- bellishing the city will be pleased to learn that the statue is to remain in St, Louts. The group is to be castin bronze and erected on a granite pedestal, surrounded by a ten-foot wide strip of sodded, sloping ground. The height.of the work when com- pleted will be about seventeen anda half feet. The exact location in Portland place will be decided on later. The unveiling will probably take place early in September. The erection of this group will mark the opening of a movement to et meet the city with works ofart other than portrait statues. It will be the first work of sculpture of a pase? decorative character ever erected n this city. While st. Louis has a number of statues in the parks commemorating distinguished men there is not one of an ideal character ex- pressive of some special thought or sentl- ment and modeled and erected solely for the purpose of beautifying the city. In the pub- lic parks and squares and palace grounds of some European cities decorative statues are to be found on every spot where their po- sition will make the surroundings more beau- tiful. Itis not so much a question of money as of fitness and effect. Mr. Ruckstuhl left for Paris last week to study the horse from the standpoint of art, in the animal school of the Paris Zoological Gardens, under the cele- brated sculptor, Fremiet, whose equestrian status are unrivaled. He proposes to remain in Paris until Aug. 15, and then return to put up his group in Portland place.

The Afro-American Medical Association and Its Purpose. New York, April 30.—Something new and interesting in the way of medical associa- tions. has recently been organized in this city. Itisthe Afro-American Medical Asso- ciation and is composed of the colored phy- sicians now practicing inthis city. The as- sociation has only been in existence a short time, but it has high aims, which the mem- bers hope to accomplish within a year or two, at least, provided they are not ham- pered by unforeseen financial difficulties. The colored physicians have for a long time suffered from what they consider the restric- tions imposed upon them by the various hos- pitals and dispensaries in the city, It is, they say, practically impossible for a colored doctor to get an appointment in a hospital or or dispensary, and all the attempts which have been made in past years have been dis- mal failures. ‘‘We are thus debarred,’’ remarked one of them the other day, ‘‘from valuable clinical experience, which isso necessary in order to make a good physician. Then again, even when we place a difficult casein any of the hospitals of the city,we cannot participate in the diagnosis of such case except as specta- tors. When our colored patients enter a hos- songs they are removed beyond our control. Ve have, in fact, no place in the — hospital practice of the city, and many timesare de- nied the courtesies and advantages extended toother members of the profession, The only thing forusto doisto found a hospital of ourown, and the colored doctors have now come together with this intention and don’t propose to stop until it is accom- plished.’’ The objects of this Afro-American Medical Association, as stated In the constitution,are **to secure to those afflicted with disease a reliable hospital, where they can receive efficient medical attention and treatment, and to afford to practicing Afro-American physicians opportunities not now enjoyed by them in the existing hospitals of the city of New York,’’ The officers who were elected at a recent meeting are: President,P. A. Johnson,M. D., of No. 216 West. Thirty-third street; Vice- President, T, T. Fortune; Secretary, D. P. tead; Treasurer, Charles Runkle, Mr, Read is a dentist and Mr. Runkle a druggist. Dr. Johnson yesterday outlined a plan of action so far as determined at present. ‘‘The first thing,’’ he said, ‘‘is to get money. Weare not wealthy,so our proposed hospital cannot become a reality in a mo- ment. We expect to give the first of a series of public entertainments in May to raise funds,and Il know of a number of persons who will readily subscribe to our movemenc at the proper time. For the hospital we shall probably rent at first one or two housesina convenient locality and grow into larger quarters little by little, as is the case with all newly established institutions. Of course, the hospital will be intended primarily for colored patients, but nobody will be debarred on account of race or color. ‘*We have for a long time felt the necessity of something of this kind for our own race. The colored population of this city is very large, but there ts no charitable organization managed by persons of color. In this. respect they are behind the other nationalities, for the Itallans, French, Germans and others have their separate institutions, where, in one way oranother, their people are cared for. The colored physicians cannot get the same treatment in the city’s hospitals and dispensaries as white doctors do. I have tried unsuccessfally two or three times to obtain dispensary appointments, and I know of others who have fared the same. The colored physiciam needs hospital practice as much as the white, but it seems to me that the only way he can get it is by a union of all the colored dectors working for a hospital of theirown, lthink before very long we will have it. *‘*As a rule there are very few colored pa- tients in our public hospitals and they don’t frequent the dispensaries. Most of them, if able, prefer to pay a private physician, but if not, are treated free attheir homes. They often cannot get the treatment they need at their homes, and if we had a hospital, the results would be better, both for doctor and patient.’’ Dr. Johnson said that so far as his experi- ence went visiting the various hospitais to witness particular cases and operations, he had always been treated ina respectful and courteous manner, and had frequently been invited to attend special cases. Some of the colored doctors, however, did not speak so well of their treatment. There are about a dozen colored doctors in this city at present, and nearly all enjoy a very comfortable practice. The majority of them are graduates of the Long Island Col- lege ahd Hospital. Thisis due to the fact that the Long Island College has always wel- comed colored students, while other intitu- tions have been inclined to look upon them with some disfavor. The Howard University graduates come next in number. Dr. J. W. Thompson, former Minister to Hayti, and now practicingin Harlem, isa graduate of Yale,and Dr. W. McDonaghue, the oldest of them all, secured his diploma from the College of Physicians and Surgeons nearly forty-eight years ago. Dr.McDonaghue is now over 70 years of age, and has had a large and very lucrative practice. He now confines . himself to office practice alone, and has his Office where he has lived for years, at No, 214 Sulll- van street. He was born a slave, but was liberated in early life and his former owner had him educated. In Brooklyn there are about four colored physicians. Four colored physicians in this city are members of the County Medigal Society—Drs. P. A. Johnson, W. H. Johnson, 7. 8 P. Miller and William Lively. The practice of colored.physicians in New York is by no means confined to people of their own race. kKveryone who was inter- viewed stated that he hada large number of white patients. ‘*‘Fully one-third of my practice ls among white families,’’ said Dr. A. P. Johnson, while Dr. McKenley claimed to have one-half, composed largely of French people. ON PAGE TWO Top of second and third columns will be found an item of interest to ydu.

From news received yesterday by members of the Merchants’ Exchange fram Washing- ton it is believed that the Hatch anti. option Dill will .not be brought toa vote. The present situation is peculiar, Many Congressmen who are opposed to the bill will feel obliged to vote.for it on account of instructions received from their constitu- ents, but are willingto doall in their power to prevent the bill from being brought to a_ vote. Two schemes have been peepeses for preventing the question from eing brought before the House of Repre- sentatives. One is to insist that, coming from the Committee on Agriculture, the bill cannot be considered as being within the rivileged class, gmd that it Must take ts place on the calendar. Under present conditions this would be equivalent to declaring that it ghould not be voted on during the present session. The claim that the anti-option bill Is a revenue measure because it imposes a tax on option trading will be combatted on the ground that it is not expected to derive any revenue from it, the tax being placed so high as toamount practically to a prohibi.- tion. If this plan fails, it 1s as- serted that filibustering can re- sorted to in ‘a manner that will prove equally effective. It is alleged that when the bill is brought toa vote, if it ever is, that the question of no quorum will be raised and that when the House ig counted enough members will be conveniently absent to Ree vent a decision reached, he Butterworth bill, the ae ia je js closely some. efea n the last Congress ing, and this reoutt aa Soars | in a lar measure through the action Of men W would have been obliged to yote for it.

Budding Scandals Create Trouble and the Pastor Preaches His Farewell Sermon To-Day—Scores of Celestials Were Bap- tized by Trinity, but the Worshipérs Have Fallen Away. NEW YorK, April 30.—Rev. Henry B. Hud- son, after fighting four months to build up Trinity Baptist Church in’ East Fifty-first street, has given up the task, and to-morrow evening will preach a farewell sermon to what is left of his congregation. There have been several: dissensions in Trinity during the past six months, but the principal row had its originin the Chinese portion of the Sunday-school, The church was the first one in New York toestablish sucha school, and for fourteen years everything went smoothly and scores of Chinamen were baptized. There spread a rumor, however, that oneof the young lady teachers had become engaged to a bright pupil whorana laundry in Brook- lyn. Other alllances were hinted at. This started the commotion. The members of Trinity flock, despite the fact that they had labored for years to elevate the Celestials, were scandalized. The young lady herself, when questioned asto her intentionsg§ de- clined to commit herself. The Chinese school in Trinity was under the direction of a yenerable old lady named Mrs, Augusta Carto. There was an average at- tendance of twenty-five Chinese and each scholar hada young lady teacher. Some of the scholars were rather choice in their selec- tion of a teacher, The teachers were all young ladies and each Chinese wanted to be taught by the prettiest of them. If anew scholar was not pleased with the looks of the teacher assigned him he would goto Mrs. Carto, the Superintendent, and say: ‘‘Meno likee gal. Me want pletty gal teachee,’’ Mrs. Carto would then give him a new teacher who was better looking. Some of the members objected tothis. Thetalk con- tinued until the above mentioned scandal threatened to come out of it and then the matter was referred to the church for action, A woman originally Known as Mrs. Chis- holm, but afterward as Mrs. Davis, was another cause of strife in Trinity and was a means of driving several members to other churches, She wasan excellent evangelical speaker. She sangin the church choir and also taught in the Sunday school. She founded a Christian Endeavor society and earned from her pastor the com- mendation of Deing an active and earnest worker. She wentto board with a Mrs. Upham, another member of Trinity Church, and made a confidant ofher. She told Mrs. Upham that she used to bea wicked actress and had pared in theaters all over the country. Her husband had died in the Far West, and left her desolate. Mrs. Upham rs bows hag with her lodger till she learned that she smoked Cigarettes. She put up with this and a week or two latera young man began to visit Mrs, Chisholm regularly, After his visits empty beer bottles would found in the room, and once Mrs. Upham de- tected a pack of payee cards on the bureau. She was about to ask Mrs, Chisholm to leave, when the young man started for the West and Mrs. Chisholm soon followed, saying she was going to marry himand settle down in Denver. The boarding house resumed Its tranquillity. ' A few weeks after Mrs. Chisholm came back with her name changed to Mrs. Davis. As this was oot the name ofthe young man she followed West, her former acquaintances were surprised, Mrs. Upham would not take her back to board, but she resumed her Work in the church and took a flat. About this time she became acquainted with Miss Brunetta Bartlett, a daughter of Mrs. Upham Dy Bes first husband. Thetwo became fast friends &nd through Mrs. Davis Miss Bartlett became intimate with two youn doctors, who. pald them considerable atten- tion. ed Miss Bartlett atari ae ry t. Still Mrs,” Davis continued in the church ity with Paster iGgow and bis ’« iheret was unabated, Finally ro She entered the church under the auspices of Mrs. Davis, ana thereafter Mrs. Upham and her sympathizers worshiped elsewhere, In the Western Suburbs.

In explaining the cause for the Cae the writer says that ‘‘a bid was received from Mr. Miller offering to furnish the musielgne for $4 per day. and abid from Mr. Dugger to furnish them for a pe day.”* Now, the fact is that I never offered to fur- nish a single musician for eitner $4 or 4-cents per day.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY PosT-D1SPATCH, Paris, April 17.—One ofthe objects of this jetter isto introduce this- brilliant French artist, Caran d’ Ache, to the American public. People who do not see French illustratea papers are\ymore familiar with his work than with his name, for the work has been some- what freely appropriated in this country. Here is a series of spirited sketches that give a wonderful insight into Russian life, that life which is a picture of Oriental mag: nificence and Tartar savagery, and which fills us all with wonder. The ingenious M. Caran d@’Ache, not wishing to imperil in any Way the beautiful friendship which The Discovery of Kummel. - exists between his country and that of the Czar, sends three learned men from foreign parts to reveal the marvels of the empire. He illustrates the revelations. One day Dr. Krakenteld, President of the Academy of Unknown Sciences at Patafiol, in Iceland, had the idea to write his illustrious friends, the Philosopher Doubma Baston. adski, Dean of the Faculty of Dead, Living and Other Languages at the University of Wrania, in Bulgaria, and the famous geolo- gist Tapafini, of the University of Hercula neum, who inhabits a chamber 2,000 yards down the crater of the Vesuvius, when it Is j driver release her, their furs indicate 48 deg. centigrade, while those exposed in public places indicate only 24 deg. centigrade, makes them suspect the reliability of the Russian instruments. Like- wise a sensible diminution of their supply of candles makesthem suspect the probity of their oscort. They scorn the suggestion of the inhabitants of Podolsk that they take off their coats and trousers. Ere long the learned Doubina discovers, by personal experience, the potency of a bever- age called kummel. As soonashe has ab- sorbed half aliter he rises into the most transcendent regions of human thought, Then he sinks itntoa:* recuperative slumbef, where he draws new strength to resume the daily battle against the forces of nature, The savant continues for four days his experi- ments with kummel, at the end of which he endeavors to acquaint the ignorant Russian peasantry with his new method of culture by placing the bullocks behind thecarts. Dr. Yapafini makesan observation onthe Rus- sian variety of covus vulgaris. ‘*As they enter the town of Orel their chiv- alrous feelings are stirred by the sightofa truant ass witha hapless female tied behind it. They demand eremptorily that the bot are finally satisfied that this is the way females travel in Russia. In old times, they learn, the servants were tfed to the tafls of their masters’ horses. From this they conclude that the Mazeppa affair was a common domestic incident, and that it has been exaggerated by ignorant persons during two centuries into a romance. The great tumult is perceived in the streets of Koursk and they divine that an ovation is preparing for them. They resolve to repel with modesty any suggestion of the popula- tion to drag them through the town in a tri- umphaichariot and to accept merely gold medals stamped with their effigies and a pub- lic faney dress ballin their honor. One may observe the same sort of reception they repel with modesty, When they find, however, that itis market Gay they acknowledge that their modesty was unnecessary. The sight oftreesin leaf perplexes them in view of their Knowledge of the rigorous climate of huss‘a. They note also that the climate of Russia is extremeiy favorable to the production of mirages.

A period lasting from Aprill, 1853, to June l, 1889, is occupled with correspondence and preparations. Their plans are greatly augmented by a gift from the Municipal Council of Herculaneum, which happens to have no strike to encourage at the time. Having provided themselves witha huge guantity of warm clothing, weapons and toys, wherewith to conciliate Russian affec- tions, they set forth, each by himself, and meet ata fixed spoton the Russian frontier. They are cordially received by the Rus- sian Inspector of Customs, who con- fiscates thelr chest of arms and their scientific library, which is forwarded to the chief censor at St. Petersburg. urgent representations of Dr. Tapafini, who roduces his letters of recommendation, the nspector returnsto him his fowling-piece, - having first removed its interior mechanism. Believing the climate of Northern Russia more favorable to the development of polar bears than toa journey such as they contem- plate, they take the road to Moscow, intend- ing to branch offtothe south. They areac- companied by guidesand a military escort, uraciously placed at their disposition by the authorities. The journey is made in a tarantass, a vehicle of a most ancient pattern, said to de- rive its name from thetarantula. Itis as useful on the water as on land, and is par- ticularly valuable to rheumatic persons for whom physicians have prescribed severe exertion. They are much impressed by the flatness of the country, where the inhabi- tants, though infrequent, can be seen many miles away. One of the first noteworthy sights that meets their view Is the fortified city of Brest Litowski, the second part of which name On the} tion. His rest, moreover, is disturbed by two strange beings. The Governor of Charkoff receives the ex- plorers affably and they are present at an im- posing military display. The work of paving the city, begun under Peter the Great, is making good progress, and they witness the decoration of some aged and faithful labor- ers by the Governor. The sketch of Cossack cavalry drill cannot fail to catch the eye. In the evening they attended a fete in their honor, of which the execution of a Polish mazurka excites their admiration in no small measure. Unfortunately Dr. Doubina’s well- meant attempt to rival the lancers results Tarantass (from Tarantula. ) in serious injuries toa high functionary, and the three savants are temporarily incarcer- ated on a charge of homicide by imprudence.

Woman’s dress has always been the subject of man’s ridicule and sarcasm, and woman has been charged so many times with having a perverse fancy for adopting those fashions which are most grotesque, absurd and un- comfortable, that of late years ‘she has turned to the wardrobe of the wiser and bet- ter half of the world’s population to select stylesof attire that might accord with the dictates of common sense. With what might be called an editorial sense of dress, woman, lovely woman, has cut away the unnecessary redundance Of irills and furbelows and fringes and tried the se- vere skirt, neat tailor coat and waistcoat, with the mild appurtenances of a stiff collar and shirt front. But with all due respect to her superiors from whom she has taken this last-named article of dress, she does not find the sheath of starched linen particularly comfortable, nor a thing of beauty, nora thing of joy. Nothing could be more unpleasant than the reckless display of starched linen, unless it was the Elizabethan ruff of cambric or lawn, stify starched and surrounding the throat or dame and courtier like a picket fence. One would-be dress-reformer of that period cried out against both ruffs and starch, which had just been invented. ‘‘There is a certain liquid matter,’’ he writes, ‘‘which they call starch, wherein the devil hath learned them to wash and dive their ruffs, which, being dry, will then stand stiff and inflexible about their necks.’’ But if the women of this century have stolen men’s linen, the fashion is not so absurd as the one of a hundred years ago when men stole the women’s stays. During the latter art of the last century, when cos- ume was declining in favor of fashion, i i : ph Wf i} WH / The Beau of 1789, masculine attire was noted forits rapid and violent changes; al’ through the various mu- tations which took place the tight lacing was considered indispensable to a fashionable and prepossessing appearance. ‘‘These tight ee: will be the death of me,’’ the elegant of the period Was womt to say, and yet he suffered for the sake of the style. We are more or less sensible of the absurdl- ties of to-day, and yet it is possible that they are not sufficiently in perspective for us to appreciate the faults of modern dress to the fullextent. We have changed the fashions of our forefathers; have we improved our taste?

New YORK, April 27.—‘‘Do you see this gold watch?’’ and Mr. Bernhard Gillam’s bright brown eyes sparkled with pleasant fancies as he dangled a beautiful time-piece before his visitor from the WORLD. ‘*Yes, what of it?’’ The talk had been on some of the experi- ences of leading cartoonists at the hands of the men lampooned inthe line of duty. ‘*Well,’’ went on Mr. Gillam, ‘‘itis one of those tokens a cartoonist receives once in a while inthe line of his work. A package came to me one day containing this watch, with no card orname that might designate its donor, nor have I been able to unravel the mystery to this day. Once In a while I receive a small token inthe way of an orna- mental or useful article from someone whom I bave ‘abused’ inacartoon, You see, most American leaders like tobe ‘abused’ in the comic and satiric weeklies. Human nature is pretty much the same the world over, and when you abfise a man soundly in print, or in colors, he sometimes, indeed quite often, expresses his displeasure at publicity by giving the abuser some graceful remem- ; brancer.’’ ‘*In the newspaper line, eye. a” ‘*‘Andin the cartoonline, adiamond pinor a gold watch.’’ MEN LIKE TO BE LAMPOONED. By and bye Mr. Gillam was telling a string of interesting bits about publicmen. ‘‘Men like to be lampo@gned,’’ he was saying, in his quick, sparkling way; ‘‘and in all my exper!i- ence I know of but one or two cases tothe contrary. Itis just like this,’’ he added. ‘*You see, it servesto bring the politicians before the masses, and of course the life of a public man isina large degree measured by the attention he is occupying in the public gaze. ‘‘Then, and most of all, there !s a deep, un- derlying sense of humor in the American peo- ple that realizes itself upon every occasion and that delights in the grotesque, the ridic- ulous and the satirical. At best a eartoon is simply an exaggeration of some one or more phases of a man’s personality, his hobbies, or pet theoriles.’’ ‘*Mr, Evarts is all nose, eh?’’ **Exactly.’’ ‘*Mr. Allison is forehead and neck?’’ ‘*True again.’’ **And Mr. Tilden, whoitin life was a gelant physically, is pictured asa dwarf?’’ ‘*Thatis the idea. Mr. Evarts is figured with his huge nose like the beak of the Amer- ican eage; tall politicians are short, short are tall; the dotin Mr. Butler’s eye is the White House; the bee in Mr. Allison’s or Mr. In- gall’s bonnet isthe presidential chair, etc, And yet none of them ever seem to protest much at being thus ‘abused.’ ’’ ‘ BEN BUTLER LOVES THE COMICS. ‘‘Take that dear old soul, Ben Butler, if ever a man offered food for the comic pencils of his day itwashe. Ihave often compared bim with Disraeli. I verily believe, as 1 look over the past, that Disraeli and Butler rep- resent the strongest faces before the car- toonist seen in our generation. Why, Ben could never be drawn without raising a rippling laugh. Now he was figured with the presidential dot in his eye; now as the thief of spoons and silverware; now as the lone fisherman, and in a thousand other grotesque w a club or black ays. ‘*Yet the dear old man loved the comics from the bottomof his heart. Why, once when I called on him, he showed me a mam- moth collection of cartoons, running. Dack to 1861, and embracing, as _ I verily beijleve, everything ever printed about that gentle- man. Hiscustom was—I say was, for Mr. Butler is nota subject of cartoon to-day— to take four or fivecoples of every comic weekly, cut out the pictures in which he fig- ured and filedthem away for future refer- ence—to beguile his leisure hours, at such times as these, in his oldage, when re- flects back upon the shore lights of other ays. And when Mr. Butler retired officially from public life he was granted the express and peculiar privilege of a cartoon worth a. lifetime of ‘abuse,’ as showing how ply, after all, the comic pencils loved bh car- toon of an artist weeping bitter tears on bald- headed veteran, and deploring his pas- sage into the land of solitud rest.’’ } « ‘ finding therein a lurking evidence of the old- time spirit of ’84. But this, of course, is hypercritical.’’ MR. HILL ANXIOUS TO BE ‘‘ABUSED.”’ **‘Mr. Hill,’’ pursed the cartoonist, ‘‘is pe- cullarly friendly with the cartoonist, whether he be figured favorably or unfavorably. He says the more his face is distorted the more votes he will gain. ‘*Senator Evarts,’’ added the comic artist, ‘‘ig friendly to the cartoon man, with one exception. And doyou know what that is? Oh! one could never guess.’’ **His nose?’’ **No, his hat.’’ **His hat?’’ **Yes. You know heis usually addicted to wearingthe snobbiest hats in all Washing- ton. Itis, Ifind,a matter of personal vexa- tion to him to find the shabby hatinthe comic weeklies. One day he took me to task, like this: ‘Gillam,’ be said,‘in the name ofevery- thing dotell me whatI can doto outlive or overcome the notion that I wear a shabby hat? Figure me asthe bald-headed eagle or in any other way and I’ll not protest; but in heaven’s name leave out that shabby hat. Why, my dear fellow, a call on my hatter will convince you that I persistently buy more new hats than any man in Washington.’ ’”’ **Then why the shabby hat?’’ ‘*Well. Mr. Evarts wears his hats, new or old, down tohis ears, so that the effect is slouchy. I presume thatisthe explanation of the treatment he receives. ’’ INGALLS LIKES THE LAMPOONER. ‘*Mr. Ingalis likes to be ‘abused,’’’ went on Mr, Gillam. ‘‘I remember adinner once in Washington at which lwas present. Mr, Ingalls created a great deal of amusement by etting up from his seat and waltzing around ir. Allison’s chair, the while Duzzing like some great bee, in representation of the Presidential bee. Allison turned red way down to his neck and ears, on which Mr. In- galis said, amid great laughter: ***Oh, Allison, never mind; I’ve the bee now, myself!’’ PUBLIC MEN WHO POSE. ‘*Itis a ludicrous fact,’’ said Mr. Gillam, ‘‘pbut I never yet appeared anywhere ata dinnerat which some of my subjects were present, but, assoon as it was understood that I was there the men would begin posing, as though they were to be sketched. To the cartoonist, off duty, this is extremely amus- ing. ‘ihese men are so wrapped up in their public appearance that they fancy to appear other than the cartoonist knows them would be to commit a serious indiscretion. Herep- resents a curious phase of human nature.’’ Mr. Joseph Keppler,the famous cartoonist, when as,ed his experience, declared briefly that he was on good terms with the men he ‘fabused.’’ However, he madeita point to avoid, as faras might be, !mmediate contact with his curtoon subjects. He had a sense of obligation, he deciared, whenever he person- ally knew his subjects, as he did not then feel quite so free in depicting their foibles. ‘*My most notable experience,’’ said Mr. Keppler, ‘‘wasat a German club before the campaign of 1884. Mr. Blaine was there and he came up and very showingly took my hand, ina way thatevery one present could not but notice, as muchasto say: ‘You see what good friends we are.’ ’’ —_—_ — THE TOWER OF SILENCE, Where Parsees Piace Their Dead to Be Faten by Birds of Prey.

Ors Sled eo ee - CRUEL BOY’S REBUKE AND STORY OF A . REPENTANCE. £ Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Ben Downing was not a bad boy at heart. He was thoughtless and mischievous and a bit cruel, as many boys are without realizing the fact. He never stepped out of his way to leta harmless caterpillar crawl by unmo- lested, but invariably crushed it under his heel. He foundacertain pleasure in pulling off the heads of files, in pouring scalding water on the nests of ants and bringing death and consternation to those tiny creat- ures. All this was through ignorance. Ben had never been taught that all these insects and creeping things hadaright tolive, or that they had been created for any purpose other than to afford amusement for an idle lad. So he went his way, stalking ruthlessly among the inhabitants of the garden, killing, maim- ing and destroying. But his chief delight wasin stoning frogs down at the creek, which ran across his father’s place. Here he would sit for hours watching the fat goggle-eyea fellows peep out of the water, anda hurling stones at them. They were, however, generally too quick for him, and on that account he did little dam- age, until-one drowsy, hot July afternoon, ‘ when he saw a particularly plump frog sitting peacefully on a large stone near the edge of the creek enjoying the sunshine. Ben crept behinda clump of willows and gent a stone hurling through the air. It struck his frogship, who rolled his great gog- pie eyes despairingly, gave a gasp or two and ied Ben gave a triumphant shout and was about _ to wade in and seize his prey, when a great hallooing and shouting from the street at- tracted his attention and on running to see what was the disturbance, he discovered thata game of ‘‘one old cat’’ was being in- augurated in Jim Thompson’s meadow and joined the crowd of sporting youths on their way thither. Just at dusk he remembered the fat frog he had killed and returned tothe creek to se- cure his trophy. There were the willows be- hind which he was hidden, there thecreek and there the stone on which the frog had sat sunning himself—but where was the frog? Gone! In vain Ben. peered here and there to discover his victim. Not a trace of the frog was yisible. The sky was fast growing dark, low mutterings of a thunder-storm were heard in the distance, the water grew black in the pool before him and there seemed ominous whisperings in the willows. Ben began to get frightemed—at what he could not have said, buthe suddenly took to his heels and fied. He pondered over the mysterious disap- pearance of his victim all the evening, and the last thing he said as he dropped off to sleep was: ‘‘I wonder what the mischief be- came of that frog!’’ . * * * * & * Ben wakened with a start. Flashes of lightning illumined the room and he sawa curious sight. A little creature which looked like a frog and atiny man both,was standing by his bed. Near him was another extraor- dinary object which seemed to be an ant with the face ofa woman. Thetwo fantastic creatures were talking, and this was what Ben heard them say. ‘The froggy little fellow spoke to his companion: ‘*Decidedly something must be done to stop the work of this young vandal.’’ ‘*Yes,’’ said the ant, **or be will come to the gallows.’’ ‘‘Pardon me,’’ said the boy gently, ‘‘for reminding you that we are in New York State _ and the electrical chair is tne capital punish- + nt. 9 eo are right,’’ returned theant. ‘‘*Well, he will fetch up in the electrical chair.’’ . **You have suffered from his cruelty,’’ ueried the frog. “5 **Indeed I have ** cried the ant wildly. *‘My home is destroyed, my children scalded and I am widowed through his cruelty. Suffered! Well, I should say so.’’ : ‘*Have you heard of his latest deed?’’ asked the frog. ‘*‘No; what is it?’’ **This afternoon, at 3:30, he most deliber- ately and cruelly did strike, maim and kill the King of the Frogs.’’ **You.don’t mean it!’’ screamed the aunt. **Yes, Ido,’’ replied the other, ‘‘there has been mourning in the pool all the evening. About dusk the wretched boy came to tear away the body of his victim, but he was too late.’’ ‘*‘Why?’’ said the ant. ‘‘The relatives had claimed it,’’ said the frog, gravely. **When is the funeral to take place?’’ ‘*To-night at midnight. See, the rain has ceased and the stars are comingout. It will be fine forthe obsequles after all. They are to be very imposing. Will you attend? ‘*T will,’’ saidthe ant, ‘‘and if Il wereto suggest a punishment for this young monster, Ishould advise that he be compelled to at- tend the funeral of his latest victim.’’ **To be sure,’’ saidthe frog, and, turning to Ben’s bed, he fixed his great grave eyes on the boy and said commandingly: ‘*Rise and follow us.’’ And some way, some how, Ben found him- self {following these two strange creatures down the stairs, out the front door, through the garden and toward the creek. Suddenly he beheld myriads of lights flash- ingalong the edge of the stream and saw hundreds of frogs running about with torches in their hands. **The procession is forming,’’ said his guide to himcoldly. ‘‘You will stand here and wit- ness the result of your deed.’’ The torches approached and by the light of their flame Ben saw the sad funeral proces- sion. After the torch-bearers came six frogs carrying a litter on their shoulders. On this lay the dead frog. AS they passed they — a croaking refrain which sounded - ke: **Bloody hound, bloody hound, bloody hound,’’ Ben’s knees shook under him and his hair stood on end. ‘*They mean you,’’ said the frog guide re- lentlessly. **And a very appropriate name for him, too,’’ added the aunt. After the litter was carried by the relatives of the deceased appeared. First came the widow, in a long black veil. Now, if you can fancy anything more horrible than a frogina long black veil you will have to think a long time. As she passed she croaked: **Thug, thug, thug.’’ **Another name for you, Benjamin,’’ mur- mured his guide. Now came the little frogs, crying and be- walling the death of their father, then a long ‘line of brothers and sisters anda retinue of servants and neighbors. Among the neigh- bors were several fish, and, dreadful to re- late, two or three water snakes. The remarks about himself which Ben was obliged to hear as the procession passed were enough to set his teeth on edge. Suddenly the frog guide shouted: ‘‘Fellow a here is the murderer of your king!’’ There was an awful pause and then the funeral procession stampeded. straight towards poor Ben they ran croaking and |! chuckling. **Got you now, got you now,’’ they seemed to say. Ben turned and fied. His nightgown spread ' tothe breeze, his bare feet were cauyvht in vines and pricked by briars, but he stayed not for bush and he stopped not for stone for the avengers of the king of the frogs were hot on his track. It. was by a hair’s breadth that he gained the threshold of his father’s house and shut the door between himself and his enemies. -Panting and alarmed he reached his room and crept into bed. **Ha, ha!’’ and therecame a st of shrill mocking laughter. *‘You’ve had enough o it, have you W ill you scald any more ants?’’ **T will not,’’ said Ben, promptly. **Ho, ho!’’ joined in laughter, like the tones of , 4 then bind them tog r, using with tw the head ‘ on eR tng) ee eee: ; vee ¥ avrg ats ne 24s ioe; ERPS +¥ hearing the! ef ‘Tt gt ge ik | stocking from the left foot, and in the heel of the stocking they say there will be found a hair the color of that of the man or woman they will marry.

Another one is that hair-combings should never be thrown out of aoors, for the reason that the birds will use them in building their nests and thus produce constant headache to the person to whom they belong. ) CAUGHT AND FREE. .

This applies only'to the military weapons, asin private fight andfeud Amer- feans have always been provided with the “A very best weapons. But not only are the ~-~—military small arms of the present time antiquated, but inall the conflicts in which the United States has engaged the troops were armed with inferior muskets and rifles. re THE BROWN BESS. _Atthe outbreak of the revolutionary war he weapon supplied to the Continental roops was the famous English ‘‘Brown s,’’ famous not on arcount of the riumphs gained because of it, but of those gained in spite of it. The Brown Bess was a ooth bore weapon, used nearly univers- by the British infantry until the close of eighteenth century, and was ‘about the most ineffective weapon of its time. It carried aspherical ball above an Ounce in weight, and had a caliber of 75. When it is remembered that the modern military rifies have a caliber of but 31, the difference may well be imagined. With this weapon the mass of the American troops were armed during the revolution. Even the wooden ramrod was in many instances re- tained, although Prince Leopold of Auhalt- Dessan, the famous ‘‘old Dessaner,’’ had during the first and second Silesian wars demonstrated incontrovertibly the vast superiority oftheiron ramrod, Fortunately in hickory, the colonists possessed a@ wood that was better than any other for this use, and did away with many of the ob- jections to the wooden loading rod, and still Fs ‘ more fortunately the opposing troops were as | poorly equipped as the Continentals and Colonial Militia. The Brown Bess was not fastening the bayonet to the m added, and the caliber fixed at 69, Shortly after this period two important inventions were made and adopted in European coun- tries, but neglected by the United States, the percussion cap and the minie tall. The ad- ut his troops percussion cocks on invasion of Mexico, Heconsidered that the equipment was untried, and declined to rely onitin acontestin a distant country, far from his base of supplies. That contest was therefore won by the filntlock musket, aided by the Hawkins rifie, of whose powers the Mexicans had had bitter experience in the war of Texas independence. Some State regiments were provided with percussion caps, but most were armed with the flintlock, a very complete § invention in its way. which here appeared a re Percussion Lock. for the last time in civilized warfare. While the small arms of the United States troops was distinctly inferior to those carried by the French and Prussian infantry, it wasa much better weapon than the clumsy esco- petas of the Mexicans, and these crude weapons, often fired from the hip, coupled with proverbially vile marksmanship of the soldiers of the southern republic were no small factors in rendering possibile the won- derful and unvarying success of a handful of men operating against ten-fold odds in the heart of a hostile and most difficult country. AN IMPORTANT INVENTION, The minie ball was the invention of a French officer and was generally adopted in Europe in 1845, but notin this country until the new Springfield arm of 1855 was made the standard. The minie was oneof the most important Mventions ever made in missile weapons and very few improvements in u in weight, better al Manees for g reduced 4 pP ee Lajos eit) Oy eee Fo eee me.

TO BE CONVERTED INTO A NATIONAL MUSEUM—RELICS OF OLD -HICKORY. Special Correspondence SUNDAY Post-Dispaton, NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 28,—The Her: mitage, the home of Gen. Andrew Jackson from 1804 until his death, in June, 1845, is to be restored to the condition in which it was during the life of the General and converted intoa national museum. Ladies of promi. nence,through patriotic motives,have formed themselves into an association for this purpose and the work of restoration is going forward rapidly. Their efforts are bringing the historic homestead into a prom. inence it has not Known before. The association holds anoption upon the relics, bric-a-brac and furniture of Gen. Jackson in the house, which are the property of Col. Andrew Jackson, son of the General’s adopted son, for $17,500, payable before July parlor are supplemented by curious and in- teresting mementoes, The dining-room has queer Clew. footed heavy mahogany furniture and a heavy chandelier with bunches of glass pendants suspended from the ceiling, while the sideboard is topped with silver ‘candela- ra. The furniture in the room where Gen, Jack- son died remainsin t same position—the mahogany bedstead on which he died, table before the fireplace, the cushioned arm- chair beside it, the footstool on the floor, overthe mantel the portraitof his wife on which his dying gaze rested. A hall of grand dimensions extends through the center of the house, Portraits in oil of Columbus, Jackson_and others hang upon the walls; busts of Cass and Clay are on an- tique tables, and there isa hall tree of queer roportions. PiThe haeton made of timbers and iron taken from the old ship Constitution, and resented to Jackson when President, now aded and dilapidated, is in'a wing of the house. The fine horses which the General Is re- puted to have owned must have been shab- bily housed, for a dozen ancient log stalls are all that is leftof the stables.

Wounds were seldom serious, as the round ball strikingastrong bone was very liable to go around it without occasion- ing a fracture. There was seldom any splintering of bones like that occa- sioned by the conical bullet, and this fact accounts for the number of wounds that man could receive, and yet be soon again fit for duty, The Brown Bess, like all arms of the period, was proyided with q flint lock. THE BACKWOODS RIFLE. But ifthe regular Continental troops were poorly armed, the skirmishers and _inde- pendent companies were better equipped for their duty than any similar troops in the world. The American Backwoodsman, called upon to defend and feed himself in the wilderness, had devised a weapon which for over half a century was unrivaled for its uses. This was the long-barreled, soit-metaled, octagonal, smalibore rifle. Rifles had been invented ate in the fifteenth century, but not until 1742 was the spiralgrooving de- vised, grooves previously being made par- aliel. The difficulty was to force the ball into thie grooves. It was deemed necessary to make the ball slightly larger than the bore of the piece and force it home witha mallet. The trouble and delay incident to this pro- cess more than set off the accuracy of aim. Troops trained. like thoseof Frederick the Great to discharge five shots a minute from the muzzle-loading smooth bores of the the period, had little to fear fromthe rifle- man with his mallet and large bullet. It was left to the American frontiersman toinventthe patch. This was made first of buckskin, afterwards of thin cloth plentifully annointed with grease. It was wrapped around the bullet, the patch taking the rifling and the grease rendering the ramming an easy matter. With this weapon nearly as great rapidity of fire could be obtained as with the simoothbore and at distances under two hundred yards it was wonderfully accurate, as accurate In the hands of skillful men as modern weapons at the same ranges. The ball was very small, scarcely larger than a pea, hence the arm was called the ‘‘pea rifie.’’ The powder charge was light and the weapon heavy, so that the alm was not disturbed by fear of the recoil;a most important tactor, as has been proved by the English in South Africa and the Soudan, where thetroops showed nearly as much fear of the bruising kick of their Martini-Henry’s as of the foe in front. A TYPICAL AMERICAN WEAPON, The British and Hessians at first despised the American irregular weapon, but when at Saratoga the balls of Dantlei Morgan’s rifle- men came hailing into their lines with deadly accuracy, while the marksmen Jaughedat the efforts of their opponents to reach them with their clumsy smoothbores, a lesson was taught which no skulls were thick enough to resist, and from that time forward companies of riflemen formed part of the British military organization. Count Gneisenau, who was known as ‘*Blucher’s Brains’’ during the wars against Napoleon, and whose deserts are only equaled by the general ignorance con cerning them, fought with the Hessians, and was so impressed by the efliciency of the American riflemen that he caused the intro- duction of a similar body into the Prussian army, and by many the check ofthe danger- ous charges of the French at Leipzig, and the consequent gain of the day is ascribed to them. During the Spanish campaigns, Bi, English meeting no riflemen, this arm having been singularly mMegiected by Napoleon, come to neglect the weapon until met by. the **spouting line of e"’ from above the rampaits of New Orleans that utterly shattered and broke to - pleces the assault of the bravest of the nsular veterans. The revolutionary rifle was little improved on, and under the of the Kentucky, the @iississippi or the wkins rifie, held its own until the outbreak ons rebellion, and even during that con- flict the squirrel rifies ofthe hunters did not a little execution. MEXICAN WAR MUSKETS, After 1783 the United States Government de- cided to follow French rather than English ,andin 17% the Springfield armory was founded. Atonce improvements began y adopted. ‘the wooden ramrod was given up; the barrel was attached to the wy bands, not by es aga from : ng through cavities » the f lock was im- | _ in ‘the ers upon it have since been made. The prob- lem ofloadingarifie witha ball that would at once fill the grooves and not give unneces- sary troublein loading was solved by asimple bul most effective device, asis well Known, the projectile was of acomical form, witha sight hollow in the base. ‘Ihe force of the pow- der caused the lead around this hollow to ex- pand, take the groves, and thus impartto the missile the rotary motion that so greatly adds tothe accuracy of longrangefire. At the outbreak of the rebellion not nearly enough of these arms were in existence to supply the demand, and a large majority of the troops carried the. old smoothbore musket, with round ball and papercartridge, some retaining this antiquated arms to the end of the conflict. ARMS OF THE CIVIL WAR. A singular reflection onthe perspicacity of the authorities of the war department is fur- nished by the fact that when the contest opened the Prussian troops had carried for some time the excellent needlegun, but no attempt was made to introduce it on either side. The seven weeks’ campaign of 1866 provedthat had either army employed such an arm, the war must have been brought to aclose shortly after its appearance on the fleld. Experiments enough were tried dur. ing the war, but itisa singular tact that the generals looked with great disfavor on any innovation. The story of the German who looked with great scorn on the new Springfield rifie, holding up an antiquated smooth-bore and exclaiming ‘‘Dat vos goot. Dat vas bei Vaterloo,’’ has occasioned no lit- tle hilarity, but could have been most appro- priately applied to the ordnance depart- ments of both contestants. Two breech- loading metallic cartridge repeaters, the Sharp andthe Spencer, were used toa con- siderable extent, as well as a number of others of less fame, but while under certain circumstances highly effective, their construction was too crude to cause their general use. The ‘‘jam- ming shell,’’ that bete noir of the wielder of repeatinys fire arms, nearly lost one or two fields, and onthe plains in fighting against Indians cost hundreds of lives. THE PRESENT INFERIOR ARMAMENT. The arsenais were active after the close of the war, and finally the present military rifle was produced. It wasa good weapon in its day, but is now almost as obsoleteas the muzzle-loader. With its heavy bullet of soft lead, and its caliber of forty-one it would stand little chance against the small hardened pro- jectiles of modern armies, throwing a nickel- tipped ball with such force as to plerte three men in line at a distance ofa mile. The cav- airy carbine, of similar construction, has been retained in spite of the fact, proved time and time again, that it was ill adapted toits purpose. While American manufact- urers were turning out sporting and fighting arms that were the bestin the world, the United States Government stood still, and allowed its troops to meet Indians whose armament of Sharp, Remington or Winchester gavethem an immense advan- tage. In every contest since 1870 the Indians have been admittedly better armed than their adversaries. With the general adoption of magazine guns and smokeless powder by European armies, the United States is rele- gated stillfurther totherear, the only con- solation being that England is in scarcely better case. It is to be hoped that American troops will not be pitted against those of the Continent of Europe, for a sharp lesson concerning the inferiority of their armament would doubtless be taught.

I visited the Hermitage yesterday, and walked through the fields from the railroad Iapproached the old house about noon, and paused at the door of the little brick church off to the right, which Gen. Jackson had erected for his wife. It hada brick floor, forty pews, and was all to Mrs. vackson that a cathedral of sublimest pro- portions could have been. When at home the General was punctual in his attendance atthe church, and he finally stood, after many apt before its low, brown pulpit, trembling and penitent, and under the ex- hortations of his wife’s spiritual director, is saidto have forgiven all his enemies ina lump. Passing up the narrow lane andthrough the doubie iron gates which open into along avenue of stately cedars, the historic man- sion comes gradually into full view. Mrs. Jackson selected the site for the Hermitage, the erection of which was begun when the General was so reduced in health—immedi- ately after the Seminole war—that he despaired of ever livinginit. It was in truth bullt for Mrs. Jackson and was at that time the most imposing residence in the country. It was partially destroyed by fire in 1836, but immediately rebuilt. It is a two-story brick house with double wooden white-painted plazzas, supported by six large, thick grooved ‘columns both in front and in tho rear. The lower piazza in front has a stone floor, upon which are two wooden settees which used to forma favorite resting place forthe General. Now they are serving a similar purpose foran aged negro, bare-headed, dozinginthe midday sun.

Andrew Jack-. son, Jr., wasa nephew of Mrs. Jackson anda was adopted by the General when only a few days old.

The estate is one of the finest tractsof land in the State, consisting of 650 acres. The Ladies’ Hermitage Association was or- ganized over two years ago and chartered by the Legislature, with the stated purpose of restoring the. Hermitage to its orig- inal state and turning it’ intoa National Mu- seum. Theassociation has reroofed all the buildings—the mansion “itself, the little brick church and the log cabins where Jackson lived from 1804 until 1820. The fences have been rebuilt and the grounds are being restored to the condition in which the General kept them, kt Lafayette visited the Hermitage In 1825, and as there are many. interesting relics asso- ciated with memories of his gallant services to the country, a Lafayette room will ar- ranged in the mansion.

E., ina recent paper on ‘* Diamonds in Indla,’’ says: That the diamond fields of Indla were known from the very earliest times we have ample evidence. In the **Puranas’’ (sacred books of India) eight localities are men- tioned as yielding diamonds, and of these three have been identified with the three great diamond fields. known in India at the present day: 1, Matanga (Kistna and Godavery); 2, Paunda (Chota Nagpur; 3, Vena Gunga (Wairagarh). The diamondif- erous area in India, so far as is known, is perhaps more extensive than that of the rest’ of the world put together, and nine-tenths of the famous jewels of the world are certainiy indian stones. The Koh-i-Noor, Nizam, Great Mogul. Regent, Great Table and Austrian Yellow are historic gems of Indian origin, Worthy of ranking with these we have only the Matan, from Borneo; 8tar of the South, from Brazil, and Porter-Rhodes, from the Cape. That the Indian mines still produce stones of large*size and of the purest water we have evidence in theftine gem known as the Gor-do-noor (Gordon Orr) recently brought to London by the Madras firm of jew- elers, Messrs. Orr & Sons. This stone weighs 2131g grains, and is remarkable for its bril- liancy and fine limpid color; it Is said to have been discovered in the Kistna dianiond flelds (Matanga of the Puranas), 4 In India diamonds are found ‘In alluvial workings and in the original gangue or bed- rock. Sofardiamonds have been found in situ, bothinthe upper and lower Vindhyan rocks (silurian). These consist of a series of shales, limestones and sandstones, cut up and much mixed witn intrusions of trap. A species of conglomerate made upof what looks like felted hornblende (Kimberlite), with imbedded pebbles of jasper, serpen- tine, quartz and sandstones is the matrix in which the diamond is found. When exposed to the action of the weather, as in shallow workings, this con- glomerate is ofa rusty brown colorand very friable, so that it can be readily broken up and the gangue washed away, leaving the pebbles, which are of a white, red, blue and green color. A load of gangue yields about a quart of pebbles, and if from this a carat (343 grains) weight of diamonds is recovered, the mine Is considered worth working. Overlying the diamond conglomerate are beds of hard sandstones and shales, which have to be cut through before the diamond gangue is met. In the deep mines the gangue is extremely hard and tough and ofa green- blue color. It requires months of exposure to the atmosphere and frequent sprinklings with water before the matrix becomes suffi- ciently friable to allow of the pebbles bein extracted without breaking them. Al attempts to crush up the matrix witnout de. stroying the included diamonds have hither- to failed, and, owing to the long delay before results are known, the natives seldom work the conglomerate in the rock workings unless itis somewhat decomposed and softened by the weather, The pebbles are about tbe size of hazel nuts and are generally apaque. The presence of green pebbles—serpentine—is considered a good sign by the native miners, The alluvial. workings are generally on river banks where the ground ismade up of detrital matter from the Vinhyan rocks. During the dry months of the yearthe water is diverted from shallow reaches of the Kisna Kiver in localities where diamonds are known to occur, and the gravel lying on the exposeu bed-rock collected and carefully examined by the young women and children. The gravel is first screened so as to remove the large and the very small particles, the rem- nant is then spread on mats and carefully ex- amined in the sunlight (the light of the sun at 9 inthe morning and inthe afternoon is considered best), and from long traintag the children are at once able to detect the gems even though they are covered, as the Indian diamonds are, with a ground-glass tint. Indian diamonds are noted fortheir beauty and whiteness. Most of the stones found are white, afew yellow and dusky stones are also met with. Blue and red stones are very rare. Bort (half crystallized diamonds), car- bonado (black opaque, amorphous diamonds) have not been met with on the Indian fleids. The Hindus distinguish dlamonds according totheircolor, The white rank first and are called Brahmins; the yellow are known as_ Kshatris; the dusky as Vaishyas, and the flawed stones 1s Sudras. The diamond deal- ers are chiefly Marwarees—a race who are the chief bankers and money lenders in india. These men are perfectly acquainted with the phosphorescent and electric qualities of the diamond, and they are also aware of the extreme unifarmity of its speci- tic gravity. A boiling solution of some salt of zinc called by the natives ‘‘Tutenagum Bas- pam,’’ which solution hasa specific gravity ot 3.5, is used for the weight test. Into this solution the stones submitted for examina- tion are thrown. All such as float are reject. ed as not being diamonds, the Marwarees knowing that the diamond has a_ specific gravity of 3.52, The stones that sink are then examined, The larger pieces are rubbed with a silk hand- kerchiet to excite their electric and held leces 0! a ligt 7 ” ¥ .

Although the diamond fiekis in India are the most extensive known, and the majority of the great diamonds of the world are the produce of these flelds, yet no continued at- tempt has been made to work them on a large scale by Europeans. Many reasons may assigned for this oneentng want of enterprise on the partofthe British, who are the para- mount power in India. Excepting at the great seaports, the un- official European population of Indiais small, very small, not equal tothat of a fourth-rate town in Great Britain. What little there is of this European elementis centered in the military stations, 1. «4., near the great arsenals and cantonments of British troops. The maximsofthe old Kast India Co. still prevail, and the unoffictal Britisher is re- garded by the Government as an ‘‘inter- loper,’’ who must be kept out of the country. GLOBE Hot Shot.

A WORD TO SIR EDWIN, His Estimate of Japanese Women Severely Criticised. From Kate Field's Washington. Sir Edwin Arnold says that the women of Japan are the most unselfish, the most self- denying, the most dutiful, the most patient women in the world, as well as the most con- siderate and pleasing. Were Sir Edwin no better writer than he is reader, his opinion about women in general or particular would be worthless, but what the author of ‘*The Light of Asia’’ thinks on any subject com- mands attention. If the women of Japan are the most unselfish and most pleasing in the world, what does this prove? That the finest type of woman is born of slavery, for no one denies that the Japanese women are slavesand have not yet begun to think for themselves. Is Sir Kdwin willing to make this admission? Is patience der all circumstances the possible virtue? Undoubtedly he manwho comes nome drunk and beats his wife within an inch of her life without a pro- test from her lips, enjoys a more comfortable existence than he whose wife refuses tu be beaten and actually resents the indignity, going so far, perhaps, as to refuse to live witha monster, Which isthe pigner type, the woman who Gumbly, brings children into the worla regardless or their parentage, or the woman whoin respecting herself refuses to ald the survival of the unfittest? Does not duty like charity begin at home? Shall wom- en be patient with wrong? Is this the way to reform the world, Sir Edwin? I have no doubt that Japanese women can give the women of Europe and America les- sons good manners and consideration. Our present civilization being one of transi- tion, the half-way bouse between slavery and } liberty, women have neither the complais- ance of the harem nor the endurance of nanimous ay irritation of mind an their joys and sorrows. ress, were the world of to-day to world of to-morrow, perhaps it well for all women to emulate the Ja in their Ey readiness to most pleas her love or Steinway Pianos.

The for- mulation of the charges of corruption ggainst Sir Adolphe Caron, by the Liberal party in the House of Commons, -$nduced them to forego their determination. Overtures were made tothe Liberal party by several of the Tory leaders who are friends of ‘Sir Adolphe, with a view to ‘‘sawig off’’ both ‘eases. The Liberals, however, would not listen to the proposition. If Mercier is guilty, they said in effect, let him be punished as he So they are going to push the .@harges of corruption against the Post- !. master-General, whom they believe they will succeed in forcing out of the Cabinet lika his disgraced compatriot, Sir Hector Langevin. ~The history of the $60,000 for filching which -ex-Premier Mercier has to stand his trial may be briefly summarized. Some time before the Dominion elections last spring Mr. Mercier made a public promise that he would secure for Mr. Laurier, the Liberal leader of the Domin- fon, a majority from Quebec province of fifteen votes in the House of Commons at Ottawa. Inordertoendeavor to carry out this promise it became necessarry to find the _pinews of war, and as the ordinary sup- porters ofthe party are poorer than their ‘Tory brethern, exceptional means were adopted to raise an election fund, _ THE CONTRACT. What is known as the Langlais contract was given out. Mr. Jean Baptiste Langlais is a _ gtationer in Quebec City, and on Monday morning, Feb. 23, 1891, he received a letter signed by Premier Mercier, informing him that, after consultation with his ‘colleagues, he had been authorized to notify him that the Government had been pleaseato give him a four years’ sta- tionery contract for all the Government “offices. Mr. Langlais acknowledged with thanks the receipt of the letter, and asked the Gov- ernment to help him to obtain from the banks the money necessary tothe fulfillment of his contract. Mr. Mercier immediately replied that, on account of the importance of the contract, the Government were willing to pay to him or to his order $30,000, six months from March 1, 1891. This does not appear to have satisfied Langlais, for an- other letter was written by him on the same day,to which Mr. Mercier replied that he could not advance any more than the $30,000, as he thought that amount was enough to pay for what stationery 1d in six months’ time have been fur- nished the.Government offices, but he had no objection to promising to pay an additional $30,000, one year from March 4, 1891. He con- cluded by expressing the hope that M. Lang- lais would be able tocarry out his contract with the ald of those advances. All this cor- respondence took place on the same day, Feb. 23, 1891. *That very afternoon the two letters of credit were issued to M. Langlais, who, the moment he receivedthem, discounted themin the Union Bank, Quebec, realizing $56,470. Of this sum $24,500 was deposited to the credit of Ernest Pacaud and $25,000 trans- mitted tothe accountof M. Mercier in the Union Bank of Montreal, On the following day Joseph Mercier, the Premier’s brother, and general factotum, withdrew this amount by means of twochecks signed by the latter. The ex-Premier has madean affidavit to the effect that he never handled acent of the $25,000; that he was in the. habit of leaving signed blank checks with his brother, to be used in his absence from Montreal; Joseph Mercier has sworn that he gave the money to the treasurer of the Libera! Election Fund; and the last named has deposed that he duly received the money. THE GOVERNMENT’S CASE. The pcints which the government are trying to make are that there was no order- in-council authorizing the contract, that the sum was far too large for one year’s supply ' of stationery, that the departments were not notified that such acontract had been made, and finally that the deal was in realty a private one between Mr. Mercier and Mr. Langlais. The ex-Premier confronts the _ situation with his customary calmness. - The smile which he generally wears when spoken to about the accusations seems to say: ‘‘Le jour viendra!’’ He will act as his own coun- sel. Ernest Pacaud says he is confident that he can justify hisactionin the matter. Mr. Langlais in a short interview, said: ‘‘Our political adversaries would be very much scandalized if, after the corruption case of 1874, the late Mr. Mackenzie had criminally rosecuted Sir John Macdonald, Sir Hector ngevinand Mr. Abbott—the present Do- minion Premier—for having offered to sell Sir Hugh Allanthe charter for the railway for $300,000, the money to form a corrupt electoral fund.’’ General satisfaction is felt throughout the country at the sentence which has been assed upon the notorious boodler, Robert cGreevy, who gave himself up to the police in Quebec City last week, after a six moaths’ exile in New York City as a fugitive from jus- It was not, however, as a boodler that he was punished although he, his pal Mur- hy, the Hon. Thomas McGreevy and Sir dector Langevin had for thirteen years made the Department of Public Works a den of thieves and public nag ge ney It was for conspiracy with O. E.

Murphy sstillin the Empire City and is likely to re- mainthere. Mcwureevy says he found New York too ‘*lonely’’ forhim. He wanted to be in Quebec even if he should have to goto jail foratime. He was sentenced toa year in the common jail, and was told by the judge that if he had notrun away from justice he would only have got six months, A DECIDED SNUB.

Interesting Experiments in Producing Artificial Tints in Plants. Mr. Wm. Brockbank, inarecent paper on the artificial coloring of flowers, writes: The excitement about blue carnations led my neighbor, Mr. W. Dorrington, and myself to endeavor to solve the mystery by imitating it, and we soon discovered that, although flowers could not be -tinted by immersing them in dye solutions, they could readily be colored by placing their stalksin aniline so- lutions. Aniline scarlet dissolved in water to about the transparency of claret has a very rapid action on flowers, coloring them pink and scarlet. Indigo carmine eg beautiful blue tints. The two combined dye various shades of purple, with curious mottied ef- fects,come parts of the flowers becoming pink and other parts blue and purple. Greens are roduced by using the blue dye with yellow. Ye also tried indigo and _ cochineal, with partial success. Lily of the valley flow- ers became beautifully tinged with pink or blue in six hours; narcissi are changed from pure white to deep scarlet in twelve hours, and delicate shades of pink are imparted totheminavery short time. Yel- low daffodilis are beautifully striped with dark scarlet in twelve hours; the edges of the corona also become {deeply tinged, and the veining of the perianth becomes Very strong- ly marked. Cco@logyne, cristata, lapageria alba, calla, m#thiopica, cyclamens. snow- drops, leucojums, hyacinths, Christian roses, Solomon’s seal, tulips and many other flowers were successfully treated, and many leaves ‘were found to become colored very quickly by the process. lsend you herewith a number of examples. The more interesting question of how this rapid change is brought about soon attracted my attention, and proved extremely interest- ing. The coloration is mainly confined tothe vessels. ; There is a system of veinsin plants, the vein tubes being clearly seen under the mi- croscope passing through the leaves, petals and other parts of the fower. In these tubes the motion of the colored water can be seen, and it became evident that it was by these that the color was conveyed and left in every portion of the plants. In the case ofcut flowers, the action is very rapid, the water tubes beginning at once to absorb the fluid, which was passed along by either capillary attraction, contraction, or possibly by some more active life-force acting within the veins. My experiments in proof of this were made at first entirely with cut flowers. lafterward tried the experiment by takinga Roman hyacinth very carefully out of the soil, and placing the roots in aniline water. In twelve hours the petals began to color, anc the flowers gradually became pink tinted throughout. This experiment was repeated on many narcissi and other bulbs. it cannot, how- ever, be said that the root fibers were un- broken; probably they were so, as I have failed to color any flower by merely watering the soil with colored water. The filtering ap- pendages tothe roots evidently prevent the abserption of much of thecolor, asthe petals of the flowers do not become either so quickly or so deeply tinted when the plant has its root as with cut flowers. It was, however, clearly seen that the vein tubes proceeded from the ‘roots, thus completing the water system of tubes from root to flower. The veins when colored are beautifully seen under the microscope as clear tubes running in paraliel lines, the interspaces filled by cellular matter. The tubes gradually branch outasthey proceed, and as they approach the margins they are often finely branched. When the colored water reaches the margins of the petals they thus become deeply tinc- tured, especially inthe narcissi, illustrating the cause whereby the daffodil so frequently obtainsthe deeper colorat the edgeof the corona. It is the same with the leucojum and the snowdrop. Very singular results were obtained inthe variegated leaves of the aucuba and ivy— plants which, at this winter season, one would suppose, had the leaves quite dor- mant, Single leaves, with their stalks placed in aniline dye water, began to color in about three hours, and in twelve hours had their margins deeply colored. They were thus shown to have the absorptive power, quite apart from the stem. White tulips furnish excellent illustrations of artificial coloring, as they can be readily tinted either pink, blue, green or purpleina few hours.

THE NEXT ECLIPSE. —_—_—_—- Prof. Pritchett Points Out the Spots From Which It Will Be Observed. Prof. Pritchett of Washington University is preparing, by request of leading astrono- mers, &@ monologue on the solar eclipse of April, 1893, which wiil be total in Chill, the Argentine fepublic, Brazil and Africa. The Professor will discuss the most suitable points for observing the phenomenon. It fs settied that the Lick astronomers and the Harvard ob- servatory people wili occupy the points in Chili. There are two places in the Argentine Republic which the professor thinks it highly important to occupy. Rosario de la Frontero is easily accessible by _ rail- way from Buenos Ayres, andis but a few miles from the center ofthe track. A small town that is notnamed on the map, some distance northeastwardly, is right in the ath, and would afford an excellent station or an observing party. The weather condi- tions are likely to be favorable in April in the Argentine Republic, and these chances shoulc be utilized, especially for the reason that the weather in Brazil Is likely to be un- favorable, and ifthe eclipse is not observed at the four stations proposed itis not likely to be seen at all, scientifically,in the Western hemisphere, In his calculations Prof. Pritchett has found an ideal place for seeing the eclipse. After leaving Brazil, the track is a sea-track until Africaisreached. But the weather in Africa is likely to be bad, and the climate is unwholesome, Prof. Pritchett finds, however, that the track, just before striking the continent, passes Over the island Goray, about twelve miles south of Cape Verde, and some four miles from the coast. Goray is buta mere dot on ocean’s bosom; itis but about 40 acres in area, butit is 200 feet above sea level, and there is -always a fine sea breeze, and fine weather in April is almost e certainty. Goray is used as a coaling station by the French. [t is about twenty miles north of the center of the eclipse, but totality will last 3m. 329s, and occurs about 2:23 p. m., local time, when the sun is yet very. high. This is the point which Prof. Pritchett would occupy with the St. Louls eclipse expedition. Down the coast some twenty miles isthe town Rufisque, — is right in the center of ry’ s the track. is a great cara- van town, and affords g00d hotel ac. commodations for a scientific party. The United States Government observing party will probably occupy Rufisque, in the event of Congress making an appropriation foran eclipse expedition. This eclipse is important for severa} reasons: The duration of totality is unusually long—4 minutes 44 seconds at the greatest, None will happen at a greater duration until 1901 and 1904 when totality will last 5ie and 6 minutes respectively. As the track touches two continents observations can be made several hours apart disclosing possibly great and interesting changes in the corona, and perhaps contrib- uting essentially to the solution of the prob. lem of the sun’s chromosphere. It occurs during a period of sun spot maxima, when the sun seems to be in a state of vio- lent magnetic agitation, and when the cor- ona 1s supposed to exhibit great and striking | var iations of shape, color, etc. EVERY HUSBAND Is interested in his homeand family.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.—The Wyo- ming,a sister ship of the famous Kearsarge,is one of the five vessels abotit to be stricken from the navy register. She will probably end her daysasan humble coal barge. No doubt some day will see her with her deck almost awash, secured alongside one of her more modern sisters, witha load of fuel for the use of the newer, although probably less celebrated, craft. She was built in 1853 in Philadelphia by Mer- rick & Co. and wasrated asa second-class sloop-of-war of 1,550tons. She wasof com- paratively high speed for her day, being nar- row and sharp, and she carried a very heavy battery for her displacement. The seven guns forming her main armament were composed of twoll-inch pivots, four 14-inch broadside smooth bores and one 60-pounder Parrot rifie. This battery was somewhat heavier than the one which was mounted whren she was first commissioned, but it was practically the one she carried after the civil war. Atthe breaking out of this war she was sent outtothe China squadron, and it was during that cruise that she rendered such ex- cellent service to the United States flag, underthe command of Commander Daniel McDougal, who was afterwards promoted through the various grades until he reached the highestin the navy—that of Kear-Admi- ral. Fearing serious trouble in Japan on account of the riotous actions of the Japanese ‘‘wave- men,’’ our Minister sent for the Wyoming to go to Yokohama to be ready touse her guns to protect the property and rightsof Ameri- can residents inthat country. On herarrival there she was turned into an asylum for refugees, who fled on account of the atrocious deeds that were being committed on shore. It was during these times of turmoil that an armed bark and a brig flying the Japanese colors fired on an Unarmed merchant steamer named the Pembroke that flew the United States colors. Theaffair took place in the Strait of Shi monesek!i, through which the Pembroke was passing on her way to Naga- saki. Noanaterial injury was done, but the merchantman was obiiged to give up her voyageand seek another port. Since the war the Wyoming has crulsed in almost all the squadrons, her last foreign trip being in the Mediterranean. She was condemned as unfit for repairs under the law limiting the outlay on wooden vessels to 20 per cent of the sum that it would take to du- plicate them. In spite of this she made an excellent gunnery and seamanship exercise vessel for the naval cadets at Annapoils dur- ing the acedemic year, but for the practice cruise she yielded place tothe Constellation. The Galena is one of the most useful class of wooden vessels that has been built since the war. Hersister ships are the Vandalla, Swatara, QuinneDaug, Marian and Mohican. Only the last two remain in active service, but all were Kept constantly in commission and cruising untilthree of them wore out, the Vandalia, the largest of the fot, Bein g lost at Samoa. The Galena was the lastof the number to be finished, and was not launched until 1880, eight years after her Keel was-laid. When she was finally put in commission it was found that her long exposure of the machinery to the elements while on the stocks at the Norfolk Navy Yard had resulted in its becoming necessary to replace more or less of her planking. ” She made a cruise in the Mediterranean and was presentat Alexandria duringthe bom. bardment of that city by Sir Beauchamp- Seymom’s squadron of Englisn war ships.She was also amongthe Isles of Greece during the earthquake whenso much damage was done tolife and property. Upon both occa- sions her Officers and crew rendered very efficient ‘f®ervice ashore. Upon returning home she received anew crew and finished her cruising on this side of the Atlantic Ocean as one of the home squadron. She was at Colon during the burning of that city, and her crew formed a portion of the naval force sent ashore to protect the United States interests on the lsthmus. During her cruise on the North Atlantic station she had the record of being the most successful and efficient gunnery shipin the squadron, The Galena came very near anticipating the present intentions of the Navy Department to break herup, by running ashore near Gay Head on ber wayto Portsmouth, where she wasto have beenrenpaired. Sheis about 18 feet longer than theW yoming and carried two more 9-inch gunsthan the smaller vessel, a lating and frames have been used for repair- ng and refitting other vessels. Now there is but little more than a skeleton left, and it is roposed selling the remains as sO much old unk, a-value of $500 being placed upon them. The Speedwell was built for a tugboat in 1865. She is about 190 tons displacement, and fora number of years has been lying about the Norfolk Yard aimost ready to fall to pieces. Her machinery is about the only part of her left that is worth a second thought, andany party buying her will probably re- move the engine, or at least such parts as can be made of service, and sell the remainder tothe old junk man, She is appraised at 2,000. The Cohasset is a wooden tug and was pur- chased in 1861, just afterthe breaking out of the civil war. .She is the only one of the five vessels that has a record gained in that strug- gle. She wasearly incommission and wus very useful upon a number of occasions, her 20-pounder Parrot . rifle and six-pounder smooth-bore howitzer doing excellent service up the variou8 creeks and rivers wherever her arengey of water would admit of her pass- ng. ' She belonged toa class of vessels that ad- mirably seconded the movement of small bodies of troops whose line of march was along the banks of smallstreams. Her most prominent service about this time was in the Nansemond River, where she formed one of a flotilla composed of ferry-boats, tuge-boats and similar craft, the composition of the squadron, plainly showing to what shifts the havy was put to meet the demands upon it. She later formed one ofthe North Atlantic Squadron, when Admiral Lee commanded it, was one of Admiral Porter’s fleet: at Fort Fisher and was used for making reconnols- ances and for piloting purposes, .during which she was engaged in several spirited af- fairs. One of her most successful command- ing officers was Acting Ensign P.. C. Asser- son, whois at present civil engineer in charge of the yards and dock department at the Brookiyn Navy Yard. Her’ latest serv- ice has been at Newport, where she has for years been a kind of fefry-boat to transport stores and people to the naval apprentice re- celving ship New Hampshire, and, later,the hKichmond.

Faris had a miraculous es- cape Friday evening. Mrs. Faris and her brother, Mr. Howard Benolst, were driving south on Grand avenue. A dirt wagon was approaching fromthe south and an electric car was rounding the curve from Lucas ave- nue. Mr. Benoist intended to pass down Lu- cas avenue between the car and the dirt wagon. But the right front wheel of the wagon broke as soon as it struck the tracks, and the left part of the wagon flying up struck the cart and precipitnted Mrs. Faris almost in front of the electric car. The car was stopped justa little Way short of the prostrate lady. Her injuries were not seri- ous and she was removed to her home, ry A UNIVERSAL CLOCK.

£ f2 I knew Weill the dangers of trifilng wit iy but I ed ST. LOUIS, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 1. 1892. — —T HE WAS A: FIEND. Confession of a Physician Who Was a ) Victim of Morphine. TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE IN ST. LOUIS SUFFERING FROM THE HABIT. A Well-Known West End Doctor Who Has _- ‘Had a Terrible Battle With the “‘Fiend”’ and Conquered, Tells the Story of His Experience That Others May Profit by Ite Thisisa story of personal experience, the experience of a man who has just come from under the bilackest shadow that can fall across a human pathway. It was told toaSuNDAY PoOST-DISPRATCH re- porter fora noble purpose, It is intended to bé a beacon-light of hope and practical en- couragement to the most hopeless people known onthis earth, perhaps, the slaves of the morphine habit. The brave and honest man who lifts the veil from such a horrid period in his own life story is a self-rescued ‘‘morphine fiend.’’ It May surprise some who read this tobe told inthe same breath that he is alsoa prom!- nent West End physician, but the fact is not a strange one, despite its startling seem- ing. A member ofthe Medico-Chirurgical Socie- ty of St. Louis, a Fellow of the -St. Louis Academy of Medicine, a member of the American Medical Association, and consult- ing surgeon to various institutions in and out ofthis city, these memberships and official positions are held by the man who tells this story. Yet for twelve years at least this man has been a ‘‘morphine flend,’’ the secret slave of the hypodermic syringe. Up to six weeks ago he was a ‘‘fiend,’’ andit is only within the past week that he has dared to say he was a free man,,and to welcome the glad rush of pride that came with those words. During these past six weeks the narrator of this story has been, to use his own words, *‘in hell, and through the valley of the shadow of death.’’ He grappled with the awful habit of which he was a victim, alone, save for the loving care of a devoted wife and son, who watched over him during his voluntary struggle. No ‘‘specific’’ for the cure of the ‘‘morphine habit’’ was enlisted in the fight, and no ‘‘institation’’ for such cures sheltered the desperate man making the fight. He wentinto it with all his de- pendence placed on his own will-power alone, andonthe dread knowledge of the hopeless servitude that awaited him in the event of failure. Hecame out, pale, shat- tered, but victorious, and his story is told now for the benefit of others who are still helpless and despairing under the morphine spell. It was told tothe writerin the physician’s study last night, after a meeting with the physician’s wife and son, who knew that the story was to be given tothe SunpayY Post- DisPaTCu for publication. On the wife’s face as she glanced now and then at her husband » there rested a great joy; the pure joy akin to that felt by angels overasaved soul. On the son’s face there was a look of fillal pride, and it thrilled in his voice also whenever he . found opportunity to speak to his father. Both wife and son witharew, however, when the story came to be told, and then with an almost pathetic confidence of sympathy and appreciative understanding the physician began his narration of his life and death struggle with the morphine habit. THE PHYSICIAN’S STORY. **The only condition I make,’’ he said, that the PostT-DISPATCH does not use my name. I have consented to give my personal experience as a victim of the morphine habit solely because I believe it will prove of incal- culabie benefit in encouraging other mor- phine victims to try and break the awful chains which bind them in a wretched Slavery. ‘*There are 20,000 morphine fiendsin the city of St. Louis. This statement jis not guesswork on my part, becauseI have had peculiar opportunities as a physician for as information on this subject, andI ave imprda@ed those opportunities. My fig- ures are susceptible of proof. Of these 20,000 morphine slaves the majority are women, and almost without exception the victims of the habit are taken from the higher classes of society, the ranks of that class whose mem- bers have been reared inluxury, and who have the greatest temptation of opportunity and means for courting the luxurious side of life, the avoidance of pain, of mentai . trouble, of excessive fatigue, or of inconven- fence from slight I/ilnesses. **What, orrather who, is responsible for these 20,000 morphine victims in St. Louis? The pbysician and the druggist, most largely. In saying this, Ido not charge my fessional brethren with anything that I oOnot blame myself for equals. The free - use of the bypodermic syringe in administer- ing morphine as a quick curefor headaches, @s a relief from great tatigue,as a false stimulant in cases of slight nervous prostra- tion, caused perhaps by the strainof a society life, is more common with physicians than is orgie | known. It is doneinall good faith, end often conscientiously accompanied by warnings of the dangers of mor- phine, but it isin numberless cases the be- ginning of the awful morphine habit. The nerve-craving for morphine is established, and from that day begins the dreadful wreck ofalife which can -only be made in allits Bepoless horror by morphine indulgence. This wreck, begun by the physician in his. family practice, is continued by the druggist in his family sales. Itis foolish to argue that druggists are forbidden by law to sell morphine except ona doctor’s prescription. That they do sell it otherwise, and to cus- tomers whom they know to be morphine. fends, is a fact beyondalldispute. sSome-* times it is a plain issue with a Gruggist whether he _ shall refuse. to sell a customer morphine, and therefore lose that customer forever, or sell the mor- — sub-rosaand keepthecustomer. The rugegtst naturally reasons that he {fs not re- sponsible for his customer being a morphine fend, and that if he refusesto sell the drug@ his competitor willnot be soconsclentious, and he will thereby lose a valuable customer, while the morphine victim gets his mor- phine all thesame. The result of such rea- soning is very apttobe thatthe morphine applicant’s regular druggist will sell him the drug, under a faint protest. And sothe mor- phine flend’s chains are riveted upon hii. **In exceedingly rare cases, disappoint- ments, discouragements, or disasters in life, will cause a-man or woman to voluntarily be- come a morphine fiend, But there are ninety.- nine involuntary victims to one of these self- elected, and itisfortheir benefit that I con- sent to tell my own experience as a slave to the morphine habit. HOW HE STARTED. ** About fifteen years ago, while engaged in the practice of my profession , which necess!- tated irregular habits of life, loss of sleep, etc,, | became subject to frequent and vio- lent attacks of sick headache. In those days, '@specialiy, there was nothing by which such Ks could be promptly relieved, except hine and chlorofoim, To inhale chloro- nerally left me ina nauseated, pros- condition, which was almost as bad as the headaches. So, on one occasion, while in the Office of a medical friend, one of those frightful headaches came upon meand I ap- | to him for something to relieve me. ***Oertainiy,’ he replied, ‘I will relieve you in five minutes with a hypodermic,’ **This he did, giving me le ga ease in a few minutes in this way. Ihad never before a dose of morphine.

But after the first two years, I found myself not only increasing the dose to one-fourth ofa grain, but aside from taking it ior the headaches I began to take the hypo- dermics at night to make me sleep. I would oftencome home at bed time aftera hard day’s work, too tired to sleep at once, and fearing thatI might be called up againina few hours I would take enough morphine hy podermically to put me to sleep quickly. ** All this time I Knew full well that this was how others had fallen siaves to the habit of taking morphine, own danger. Butin one more yearl found tomy utter dismay that Ihad become en- slaved. The knowledge came upon me almost before I attempted to break the habit, but when, after that, | made effort after ef- fort to quit the use of the drug and found I could not, I had to face the awful fact that I was a confirmed morphine fiend. ‘¢Once in its clutches, it seemed impossible to getaway. Irealized that sooner or later it mustruin my life and that it was already casting a — overthe lives of my loved ones, and I tried desperately time and again to break the awful spell. Buteach time the demon would seem to grina ghastly grin at me, and throw its iron arms around me and say: ‘You may struggle as you wi.l, but I’ve got you.” HIS SUFFERINGS. ‘* After these efforts | would sink down ex- hausted and hopeless, and in order to get myself in fit condition to attend to my pa- tients, 1 would resort again to the use of morphine, My friends began to grow cold toward me, my family was in despair and almost heartbroken even then, anu, under the influence of the horrible secret useof the hypodermic syringe, I avoided everyone as mnch as possible, even whenat home keep- ing to my own room instead of talking with my wife and son, as I had once loved to do. Toward the last, when suddenly called to attend a patient, it would take me an hour to ‘fire up’ with morphine so that I would be in fit condition. My face had the awful, waxy pallor charac- teristic of the morphine fiend, my ayes the teli-tales glaze, with the pupils contracted almost to the size of a pin point, and I began to suffer from the wild, insane morphine dreams. My blood was so vitiated that when I held my hands downward for any length of time they would turn purple.My thighs, where Iaiways used the hypodermic syringe, became |’ so thick-skinned that I frequently broke a needie- point in trying to take an injection, and so sore that the slightest touch on them would make mecry out with pain. All this time my mental anguish over my enslaved condition rendered my life almost a heli on earth. ** At last, after re ted I ror over my mind to crush the habit or die in the at. | back into the ) previous stillI would not seemy, tempt. This resolution was taken just six wevks ago. Without at all preparing my sys- tem as | should have done that of a patient’s Ifirst prayed fervently to Almighty God to give me strength for my fight, and then I de- liberately wentintoit. Iknewthat to break the habit as suddenly as I intended todo might probably kill me, but Iknew from my failures with the ‘tapering oft’ method that lhadto break off once and for- ever, and | preferred death to sucha slavery. Ihad never taken anything but morphine, and that hypodermicully, sol knew thatif I could ever break away from the syringe—the hardest of all things to ao, however—and live forty-eight hours without it, I would be safe sofaras the habit was concerned, I began ona Monday nigbt,-and for the first time in ten years went to bed without a ‘hy- poderinic. All night I roHed and tossed, not sleeping a wink. By morn- ing Iwas nearly in a state of collapse and had totake several hypodermics,. 1 had beén taking on an average about twenty grains of morphine a day, hypodermically, or about five grains at a dose, for several years, one- eighth of a grain being the usual dose for one unaccustomed to It. Twenty grains Ils enough to kill forty men not use@to the drug. Icut my allowance down to three grains a day, and continued this for 6ne week, suffering the agonies of the damned. ‘*At the end of that time I realized that ractically I was no freer from the morphine abit than when I had started in the effort to break off. My son, who, had stayed home from his business to be with me, also became disheartened and would cry as he witnessed my apparently useless sufferings. On Tues- day of the second week I handed him my by podermic syringe. ‘* ‘God helping me, my son,’ I said, ‘I will never use it again.’ ‘‘The following day came the inevitable ollapse, the dread of allthe victims of the morphine habit. The spasmodic action of the legs, which isa spinal symptom of the withdrawal of morphine, was so pronounced in my casé that my knees would ?, ep to my breast, striking it with considerable Violence. The base of my brain seemed on fire, and I became delirious under the dreadful suffer- ing. My devoted wife, .the best that God ‘ever blessed aman with, thought I was dy- ing and had two physicians brought to my bedside in haste. Undertheircare I pulied through the first forty-eight hours without rphine. sare VIOTORY AT LAST. ‘*The most hic pen on earth could not denmine my vrontal and physical sufferings of the two weeks thereafter.

Itis the moment of sure victory, of blessed deliverance, for with returning strength there comes no craving for the drug, whose poison has been driven from the body andthe mind with such su- preme agony. You have safely crossed the dreadful chasm of the ‘morphine collapse,’ the time-measured chain of your slavery ts thereby broken, you stilllive,and you are gaining strength, every hour takes you far- ther away from your captivity, the world be- gins to look asit did before you became a morphine flend. ‘*Three weeks have passed since I felt that first glow of returning bealth.

Two Chambers of the Exposition Given Up to German and Italian Painters. With the coming season the management of the Exposition will depart from the rule of procuring all its worksof art through one source, by surrendering two rooms to Herr H. I.. Neumann of Munich, who was inthe city, recently to make necessary arrange- ment for the exhibition of paintings by Ger- man and Italian artists. The larger of these two rooms willl be filled with about seventy-five canvases of the most prominent ‘artists of Germany, while the smaller one will be given over to the Ital- ian school of the present aay, ’ age weeks e two - Gorf and Gruetzner, whose Falstaff pictures and canvases Of monasterial life and custom are famous throughout the world.

A. and Her- mann, will be seen here forthe firsttime. F. A. is the nephew and Hermann the gon of the celebrated Wilhelin Kaulbach, who has made the name illustrious in the artist world. Knaus and Vautier are known tothe people of St. Louls, although but few of their works have ever bsen exhibited Jonn T. Davis has a “fine his coilection,. which § he the Exposition on a former occasion. In Knaus is seen the master of the Duessel.- dorf school of to day,and its most fliustrious persOnator. Liezen;Mayer, Lindenschmidt and Molitor are prominent Munich artists; Gabriel Max’ sweet-faced feminine types have been so often reproduced in cheap prints that it will bea perfect treat to see this master in his original works. Toby Rosenthal, the San Francisco » wh makes his home abroad now, will be repre- sented with a late canvas; also F. Von Uhde, whose ‘‘Last Supper’’ created a sensation for several weeks at the Museum of Fine Aris, Among the Italian artists there will be Andreotti, a splendid and prolific painter, whose works have never been seen in 8t. Iouls. The only Andreotti here, *‘Old Wine and Young Love,’’ hangs in the Spacious drawing-room of Mr. Adolphus Busch, and was purcl.ashed by him last year while on his annual tour abroad.

Seismometers and Registers for Record- ing Observations, Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. A scientific instrument, the more selaom needed the better, in the opinion of the great majority of people, is the selsmometer, or earthquake meter. This strange instru- ment, however, has been called into ‘use in California within the past week, and the attention with which ob- servers at all stations have been watching it, revives interest in it. It is an automatic machine which records the exact time when the earth jars, the dura- tion of the shock, the directions in which ig, travels, and the extentof the vibration. e essential principle of the selsmometer isa mass of metal in a state of ‘neutral equilibrium ;’ in plain words itis a chunk of iron, suspended in air from a point or hook very near its center of gravity. For this purpose a square piece of metal with a hollow space in the upper half and extend- ing from the tep side to the centerline, is used. The point of suspension is at the bot- tom of the hollow space, and therefore very near to the center of gravity.

" RELICSOF OLDRACES CAMILLE FLAMMARION ON THE RUINS ~ OF EARLY EUROPEAN TRIBES, Written for the SUNDAY PostT-DisPATCH. — One beautiful autumn evening in the year 1875 I found myself in remotest Morbihan, in the midst of the immense plain of Celtic pil- lars at Carnac. It was the hour of silence and solitude, night completely enveloped the country, and the pale moon shed its: white and melancholy light from the Gistant sky. Even afar off 1 could distinguish the antique blocks oY granite standing in lines Ifke the petrified soldiers of {an wmknownh army; on all sides they followed each other im- movable, muteand mysterious. Those about me were of gigantic stature, and the indis- tinct shadow stretched at their feet by the light of the moon seemed to double their height. Further away, the ground being obscured by the gloom which covered ft, the white Druidical.stones stood out Nke so many phantoms reunited in death, and, at the same time, isolated, each in its last place, At my left, to the west, toward which the even- ing star was deseending,a square field, sur- rounded by a colorless wall, looked like a cemetery in which rows of kneé@ling monks marked the tombs, their white cowls tn ifne; and not far from them a giant specter, covered with a winding sheet, seemed lifting his arms to give a midnight’ benediction to the reanimated shadows. Nothing was heard but the muffied roar of the ocean in the distance, where its billows were dashing against the reefs of Quiberon or where its surges died on the shores of Carnac. Insects were humming in the brush- wood of the moor, and once in a whiléa screech owl threw its wild cry upon the night to be answered by another. Then sepulchral silence reigned a moment, as if to command greater attention from human _ thoughf. From time to time clouds passed over the moon, casting fleeting shadows, but the sky was generally clear, the cross of the swan hovered in the genith, Cassiopela was seated near Andromeda, the brilliant Capella emitted her luminous ray which spends sev- enty-two years in reaching us, the Polar star remained immovable like the pivot of the world’s axis, and the seven stars of the Greater Bear assisted in this retrospective contemplation as they did formerly at the nocturnal fetes of the Druids when assembled under the new moon in the propltetic circle of the Cromiech. In the midst of this place, sacred "to men- hirs and dolmens, at this‘hour, in this moon- light, in the bosom of such silence and soll- tude, Defore thousands of shadows covering the whole country, but a feeble effort of im- agination is necessary to bring before me the vanished ages, of which these austere ruins are the last witnesses. I easily forgot my ephemeral personality and the age in which we are now living, seeing nothing but the re- ality of the past and taking part only in the things that then happened. I beheld the old race of Celts coming from Asia, where astronomy was already mage age f and marching westward even to the endof the earth, stopping through necessity on the shores of Morbithan and “Finistere (finis terrm). I saw them ‘establishing divine worship, not under vaulted roofs that con- ceal the sight of heaven, but worshiping God in nature, in the sun, moon and stars, and praying to Him under the open sky, in the open country,in the presence of moun- tains, forests and streams. I saw the old Druids, with long hair. and beards wuiitened by tlme, os actions and consciences, young virgin Druldesses crowned with mistletoe, and the simple cer. firstages. Iheard the sonor- Mieds..und seemed to see our “DPessing between long lines gti ashes of their beloved or S, also from the East, came : ee of this last conti- nefital/tiand. Thy Celts fought, defended their hearths, shed human bivod and finally repelled every invasion. The Gauls came and were absorbed|; the Romans came and were conquered; the Franks came and then vanished; Jupiter and Venus descended and had to return to Olympus; Chris- tianity was preached and its words were lost by being blended with the primitive Celtic reiivyion, which remained unchanged. The Bretons of to-day are the Celts ofthe st, atleastinthe district of which Carnac S the principal city. Their physique is the Ssame;the men are strong, the women hand some and of uniform and unmingled type; nor have they changed spiritually; the foundation of their religion is the worship of the dead. The idea so universal that the Bretons are Catholics and royalists will prevent many of ~ 4 readers from admitting the preceding affirmation; but an investigation of their character will show its correctness. We Must take as examples, not men who have studied and traveled, but the country people just as they ordinarily are. Their reiigion no more resembles that of the Italians, Spanish or French thanit does the Buddhist religion, and perhaps not somuch. The day after my contemplation of the numbDerless stone piliars, which under @ soft moonlight looked Hke so many tombs, I happened to pass by the village cemetery and, entering, saw several littie dg on which were placed small coffins of lack wood that could ea:3ily be carried under the arm; and what did they contain? The skull and bones of an ancestor, disinterred to make room for his dead descendants. But what struck me most was to see an ossuary in the remotest part of the cemetery and overits windows piles of little coffins, each containing the skull of ali ancestor and bearing his name: Hére Pierre Thomas, Here Paul Martin, Here Marie Anne DonDerg, etc., etc. The door ofthe ossuary is Kept partly open; onentering I saw hundreds of skele- tons heaped up pell-mell, someon top of others and ali looking towards me. At Saint- Pol-de- Leon the Bretons do still better; they ut the skulls into little boxes with glass each one labeled;with its name and in the church in ~»pub- , Truly they are a_i people who look death in the face, and are indeed the same as those old Celts who astonished the Romans by having such absolute faith in immortality that to them death bore no mournful aspect, and who surrounded them- selves with their dead and looked forward to afuture life similar to the present. Jean Renara even tells us that in commercial transactions it was not uncommon to borrow money to be repaid in the next world. Ofie morning, looking from my window at the fantastic door of the Church of Saint eden & Il was very much surprised to see three charming littie children playing with a Smallempty coffin which had been put down a@tthechurch door. A little boy was laugh- ing and trying to make his sister lie down in it, but she was too large. The sacristan ar- lived carrying a small biack cloth ed with liver, and in the loudest voice scolded the hildren, asking: ‘‘Who disturbed the cof- fin?’’ Of course no one had done it. These children knew perfectly the destination of their plaything. This people, still to-day speaking the Celtic tongue, change, perhaps, with more diffi- culty than any other; tenacity is their most striking characteristic. Isaid just now that the foundation of their religion is neither the Eucharist, the Immaculate Conception, nor the infallibility of the . but simply respect for the dead, as was the case twenty centuries agoand more. The superstitions of to-day are the same as those of the remote was there during the autumnal and one evening about heard plaintive sounds and measured steps; the country people Silently bringing their herds of cattle came near the church and, slowly passing round it, apes before the large entrance where Saint Cornely was enthroned between two oxen; they then went toan old fountain and passed around that; afterward some lustral water was poured on the heads of the oxen, when they returned in silence. Such a pligrimages are extremely dismal an s pe been blessed for tne healing of cattle are sold at a high price and area source of trevenue. Saint Cornely is nye re, and his income is very often 20.000 art that the ox plays in the re 4 nt athe oitante * ac covery quite recently Bowe thie deductions. | ta little tutelary deit 4 made angly con- Mr. Miin, a learned tcotch archeologist, who comes to Carnac every Summer to make excavations, . ‘found a ?itt perfectly compa ractices and ideas y.of the past agen 1 pas a fs certainly related to the bull Apts. The rite of the lustral water is also an in- heritance the past ages. On certain Gays the peasants go to the fountain which has just been spoken of and meditate in silence, taking good care at no stranger shail watch them; they then teke water in their hands joined together; or recefve some poured out by a child, and raising their arms Verticilly in the afr, gently Move their finger so that ihe water runs down their arms and bodies. Not faraway women have even been geen receiving regular douches of ice water on their bare chests, and during tempests, sailors’ wives sometimes goto thése sacred high places, and taking dust in their bands, looking all the time atthe sea, throw it over their heads to the wind, tocharm away the dangers to which their husbands are exposed. These old customs continued jin spite of ecclesiastical prohibitions, the tenacious and serious character of this people, their silent temperament, their Celtic tongue, their life familiar with death, all show plainly that if successive invasions have placed other races in different cantons of Gaul, here there has been scarcély anymingling. These rocks, this brushwood, this sea, these islands,shores and roads, this rugged nature, all belong to the same country that the Celts looked upon and ioved. ‘hey walked where we walked to-day, they raised these menhbirs that have become sphinxes and have left invulnerable witnesses of their old republic; but why have they written nothing? and why cannot these mysterious stones give some reply to our eager questions? What were these menbhirs, dolmefts and cromlechs, with which the sacred land of Carnac is coveredin every direction; these Stone monuments more numerous Keré than in all other places put together? Although they have been known from time immemor- ial, and traditions are lasting on this granite soil, their nature is iar from being a settled ‘question. On this archeological journey tothe flelds of Carnac, Ihadthe advantage of having as guide Monsieur du Cleuzion, who perhaps knows them better than any one else, and who conducted us among the Druidical sphinxes of geography with the assurance of an astronomer giancing at the constellations. He had just been asain surveying with all the lines of Carnac position of all the menhirsinthese lines. Three centuries ago their number was estimated at 12,000, and 2,366 stillremain, but their number dimin- ishes every year; forcenturiesthe peasants have used them in walls round their flelds and now builders are demolishing them still more rapidly. Their height varies from 20 inches to 16 feet; someare still higher and measure 19 feet, as at Kermario, or 32 and 48 feet, as at Locmariaquer, where the colossal mennhir, 81 feet high and wetghing over 220 tons, lies broken. The menhirs of Carnac stand in eleven rows 2! miles Long, . the dis- tance between the rows varying trom 7to 10 yards. ‘Their general direction is eastward (in some places southeast, apd in others northeast) ‘‘toward the rising of the sun- od,’’ touse the expression of our eminent Bistorian. Henri Martin. The rows are arranged in seetians: Menec, Kermario, Kerlescant and Menec Vihan. There are still other rows at Erdeven (Ker- zero) at Vieux-Moulin, Sainte-Barbe, Sainte- Pierre-de-Quiberon, etc., etc. We are reduced to conjecture when we wish to explain the purpose of the erection of these stones. The most probable hypoth- esis is that they are funeral monuments, since it is Known that graves were thus marked from remotest antiquity. In the cemeteries of certain oriental Jews each tomb is surmounted by atall stone rising »vertically like a menhir, and the following passage from the Bible proves their ancient use: ‘‘Rachel died and was buried in the way to Epbrath, which is jethlehem, and Jaeob set a -°* pil- lar on her grave which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.’’ [Gen., chap. 85.) Nevertheless, when excavations are made where the fallen meanhbirs stood, or about those still standing, no human bones are found. Sometimes ashes and the debris of human incineration, vases and axes of polished stone are discovered; we conclude therefore that our ancestors may have burned their dead and marked with stones the places where their ashes were laid; but the number of these stonesisso great that it becomes necessary to suppose the population much larger than to-day, evenif the custom prevailed for many ages. The names these regions bear seem to give reason to the hypothesis that they are tomb-stonoes; thus Menec means the place of memory, Kermario (in the plural) the place ofthe dead, Kerloquet the place of the funeral- pile, Kerlescan the place of ashes, etc. The name of Carnac itself. which may be compared to VPiou-Carnel (Plouharnel) means, in Celtic, the place or the ossuary, Perhaps one is sttilmore impressed on entering a dolmen than while gazing on the menbirs. The essential components of every dolmen are the same, a granite tablet placed upon stones standing on end; these supports ordinarily touch each other, or the crevices are filled with other stones, sothat the back and two sides of the dolmen regular walls. The in- terior chamber is tsu Peooat 6 ’ d almost always turned toward the southeast. When the dolmens have not been stripped, they are covered with earth and form a tumulus. The chambers are large enough to stand up in, and several pees could easily enter them, Some are of large dimensions; thus the dolmen at the island of Gavr’inis is gomncess of one chamber measuring 84 feet ong by 8 feet wide and nearly 6 feet high. The ceiling is made of one colossal granite tablet more than 13 feet long and 10 feet de. The entrance is a gallery 42 feet long and vanvety As feet wide. he dolmen at Locmariaquer has for a roof a stone 29 feet long by 14 feet wide. That of Pluharnel (Cor- coro), which actually serves as a granary for a small farm, is 49 feét long and 12 feet high. Masses weighing 55, 110 and even 220 tons must haye been transported for these dolmens and ménhbirs. A visit to these grottos without a precon- ceived opinion immediately removes from the mind the o]d supposition of human sac- rifices. Although the dolmens, when stripped of their covering, are somewhat like tables or altars, the simple fact that they have been covered proves that the in- terior of the chamber, and not the top of the roof, must be considered. The galleries leading to the chambers, the objects found within, and the absence of steps round the so-called altars, all unite to dispel the idea that they were sagrificial structures. The hollows and little trenches, thought to be recognized, are nothing but natural irreg- ularities, such as are found in all stones. What were these caverns? It seemsto us that the most simple hypothesis is to see in them primitive cease of refuge for an early human race. t is known that primitive human families lived in caves to conceal themselves from wild beasts, to secure protection from the sun and rain and to have aie safe retreat for rest and sleep, and in countries where there were no natural caves artificial ones were con- strmcted. Alithe common articles of every ary life have been found inthese grottos— different kinds of vases, pottery, stone and bronze arms and jewels of clea, tee stones bronze or gold. Also there Rave been found either earth mingled with ashes from human bodies that were buried or perfect human bones, and once evena whole skeleton was discovered ina sitting posture. From these circumstances the conclusion that they were sepulchral chambers has been drawn and this is the general opinion of arch#ologists and, asthat scienceis not my sphere, ! humbly place myself under the standard of these mas- ters. Nevertheless I cannot refrain from thinking that these artificial caves must have re the living before they received the ead. However this may be, they are monuments raised by our ancestors, the Celts, und nave afforded us a great variety of extremely cu- rious objects. The museum established in the old town of Vannes‘is the most interest- ing museum of antiquities in existence, and contains the most instructive of these specl- mens, comprising vases of every shape and date, from the simplest tc the most elegant and ornate; axes of polished stone that are admirable in form and finish, made of flint, of jade and of greenstone; splendid neck- laces of enormous turquoises and amber- colored glass, glass balis and plaques, fine gold bracelets, bronze arms, human bones, horns of deer and fragments and debris of all kinds. The cromlechs, or vast circles of stones, seemto have been places of reunion, and probably their center was occupled by an altar or a tomb, or by both, All these megalithic monuments are of rough stone, nevertheless strange figures are cut upon several of the supports of one of the three dolmens at Mane-Gorion; they are principally angles drawn one over alhe- other, rectangles, straight and broken lines. Others are seen on the upright wall of the passage leadingtothe dolmen at Gavr’inis, and there the curved lItne, and es- pecially the eilipse, takes the lead ; the axes or wedges found there also have outlines upon them. On the celling of the dolmen at Locmariaquer still other figures have been noticed which vaguely re- callthose of the old Mexicans, and perhaps are simple tattoos. If they express a language itwas notarichone. They may be very siwm- ple ornamentations, such as the Bretons still put upon their pottery, harness and clothing. They may have indicated the age of the de- ceased, his titles or the date of his burial. I have nowhere found any certain astronomi- cal sign among these figures. These monumental inscriptions were Christianized only by a slow transition. The later menhirs are of cut stone, and crosses are traced upon their sides, as at Plouharnel, or they areeven cutin the form of a huge cross, ornamented with signs, as at Carnac. The old cemeteries of the country have pre- served these carved menhirs to our day. The.country of the Celts 1s, without ques- tion, one ofthe most important for study in the entire territory of our beautiful Gaul. The Ligurians, the Iberians, the Finlanders, the Kimry, the Gauls, properly so-callea, the Francs, the Romapbs, the Nor- mans also and the aAngio-Saxons have there appeared, or made longer or shorter stays, and have left traces of their presence. The Roman occupation was the longest, last- ingnot lessthan 400 years, and, though the Celts constantly ruled the country and ab- sorbed all who came, numerous material traces of their presence are found, and Mr. Miln has lately brought to ight a whole Her- culaneum. CAMILLE FLAMMARION, THE MAKING OF A BRIAR PIPE. How the Familiar Bul'dog Is Evolved From the Eruyere Root. Written for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. The briarwood pipe of the shape commonly called bulldog is one of the neatest, handiest and most popular of pipes. Its popularity, in fact,has now become so great in this country that the most patriotic American may use it without greatly fearing the reproach of Anglomaniac. Forthe benefit of those who use this pipe tif history is here given of the manufacture of a first-class onein an En- Figure D is that portion of the block which provides a bulldog bowl. Figure C is the piece of horn from which the mouthpiece is made, that being the most satisfactory kind of mouthpiece for a briarwood pipe. Figures 1 and 2 show the block aftera course of treatment by a circular saw. In this shape it is called by the french the eboucher. Afterthatitis put on the lathe and rounded and hollowed till a ball becomes visible. These stages are illustrated by Fig- ures 3, 4, 5 and 6. After a tube has been drilled the bowl goes into the handsof workmen who saw, file, scrape and polish it till it weurs the intelli- gible appearance seen in figures 7and8. A silver band is fitted on tothe stem andthe mouthpiece, which has gone through a pro SSS ~~ ~~ = ~~ ~ lish factory. Cuts are printed with it which lustrate this history very clearly. The briar employed in pipe-making is the root ofa bush, which does not grow in En- gland and is Very different from the English shrub of the same name. The French name is bruyere, and it fis found in the Pyrenees, Italy, Corsica and Northern Africa. It fs cut on the spot in blocks of the shapes seen in figures Aand h,and in that condition ex- ported tothe places of manufacture. Much of the material used in London gets there by wer of Paris. The process of making the bowl isa long and tedious one.

Written for SUNDAY PoOsT-DiIsPATCH. Visitors to the Zoological Department of Forest Park, at this season of the year, are not likely to be deeply impressed with the ap- pearance of the animals confined there. They have just emerged from their winter quarters, faded in color, shaggy with long hair and dirty with the accumulation of dust gathered in the warm straw beds of their kenneis. In their separate inclosures the grass has not yet made its appearance owing to the heavy rains which have turned the sod to soft, sticky mud, under the restless hopfs of the imprisoned beasts. It is atthig season of the year that the keeper, Henry Nelson, finds himself busy from early dawn until dark caring for his large and mixed herds, watching them close- ly, feeding them with caution and guarding them against cold and rain. Just as the trees begin to put on their new sults of green, so do the animals shed their heavy ¢oats and re appear in fresh new colors of glistening short hair,which brings out the beautiful outlines of their graceful forms now hidden under their rusty winter garb. Within the next month, Keeper Nelson says, visitors to Forest Park will see the handsomest collection of animals in the western country. TWO BUFFALOES BORK. During the winter the sixty or more cap- tives were properly housed and protected from the weather and fed regularly. It was Sy} Buffalo Mother and Cub. * the first winter foremany of them in Forest Park, but the chan¥e from’the Fair Grounds has had no perceptfble effect unless it be for the improvement of their condition and they have come out to greet thegpribg strong, fat and healthy but woefully dirty. While penned up in their winter quarters several events occurred ‘which will double the interest in the Zoological Department this year. Two buffalo calves were born, the cutest bits of animals one could wish to see. The first came into life March 12 and the second was born on April 12, one month to the hour after the first. Both are perfect specimens of their race, now fast dying out, and also.of the few born in cap- tivity. They areofa bright brown and red color. Their hairis curly, soft as silk and from a light blonde at the’ hind quarters gradually deepens into brown at the neck, where, when they grow older, they will wear the long mane, which gives such aflerce ex- pression to their fathers. Both were able to walk out into the air the morning of their birth and from their queer antics and re- markable agility it would seem as though they had been in the world six months under the steacy training of a _ sprinter or high jamper of their tribe. Since the young ones were born, the mothers have be- come sc flerce Keeper Nelson has found it necessary to place a mother and calf In sepa- rate inclosures, wherethe three bulls may come at any time they ehoose and push their noses between the bars to pass the compli- ments of the day. THE ANTELOPE BABY. The inclosures are against the fence on the west side of the buffalo’park where the pub- lic may have aclose view of the handsome youngsters, but a guard will be stationed there to keep canes and sticks away, as.the mothers, jealous of their young come enraged at the _ slightest cation and try to break the barrier between themselves and their disturbers. The buffalo calves will, no doubt, be the greatest attraction in the Wr Ng Np "> - —“BWHee | - . Nellie ‘*Park Zoo’’ th ear, As have not been ch enéd and is undecided what to namé them. The next most interesting object will be et the babies eeper Nelson her baby. Nellie is the South American antelope, confined ina small in- closure of the deer park. She is a large, graceful animal! beautifully striped and colored, but her baby, which was born as the bells. were,ringing out the old year of 1891, could give hera few charms and still be the hanisomer’of thetwo. Nellie was an attractién at the Fair Grounds last summer, where she moyed in her own set, but until Nellie * No. 2”arrived she was all alone in Forest Park, without even a common Rocky Mountain antelope to associate with. LITTEX “grown wond Nellie and Her daughter has gro wonderfully since Jan.land has a pair of horns over a foot long and as straight as a rule. Her eyes are dark brown, almést black, and twinkle with life and wonderment. She is very shy before strangers. ‘and even in tne presence of the Keeper shows some alarm and embarrassment, though he has been at her side every day since she was_ born, Keeper Nelson sighed frequently as he told how he saved young Nellie’s life during the ast mild winter. Though her mother has eninanorthern climate some years the thin blood of her South American ancestors flows through her veins and her daugher has inherited the maternal fear of cold weather. From the night young Nellie was born untila few days ago Keeper Nelson made two visits every night to her bed and replenished the fire in abase burner stove which was not large enough to hold coal Sufficient to Keep upa hot fire all night. Though the temperature in the shelter shed was kept up to blood heat the young South American cried like an in- fant with the cold covered with a blanket and snuggling close to her mother. Since the sun beganto shine warmly and draw out the grass and leavesthe baby has ventured into the pasture, where she gambDols like a kitten and gazes with wonder from a distance at the visitors who ze admiringly at her through the fence. The baby has not been named, and Keeper Nelson is waiting for the suggestion of an attractive name. AN OLD ELK MURDERED. The neighbors of the Nellie family on the East Side arethe sacred cow andthe China sheep, both as dirty asthey can be. They occupy the one-room fiat adjoining Mrs, Nellie and her daughter and are quite friendly at times. As Mr. Nelson says, ‘‘they are moulting,’’ and as soonasthey get rid of their winter clothes they will be™s pretty and attractive asa Ohina sheep and a sacred cow can be. The three big elk, all females, are as unat- tractive as any member of their family could be. Large patches of coarse, faded hair are hanging loosely on their sides and back, gradually dropping off and revealing the new, pone coat underneath. It wil be fully three weeks before the spring sults are fin- ished; ‘‘A long time to walt for new clothes, ’’ says Mr. Nelson, *‘but though nature Is slow, she always gives a perfect fit.’’ Mr. Nelson told ofatragedy enacted in the EIk family last January.

Between Nellie’s home and the quarters of the murderous old maid elks is the residence of the axis deer and the white deer, two very pretty animals even now, in their old clothes. they, too, will come out in proper season with shiny coats, radiant and full of spirits. In the deer park there are thirty-eight big- eyed, long-eared residents. Keeper Nelson says he expects the family to increg@se to | forty-two or forty-three by June or July 1 and that the additions will not be sen in from the _ontside. The gentile and naturally timid deer have become quite used to the public and all but a few have so overcome their instinctive fear of man that they run to the fence at the approach of any one and poke their damp noses through the bars to beg for dainties. Some of them are so fond of sweet things that they have worn the hair off their necks between the fence rails following the children carrying paper bags in their hands. THE MULE-FOOTED PIG.

Hisspeech against the elevated railroad bill at a meeting of protesting property owners on Jefferson avenue and Morgan street is one of the good things which never got into print. The meeting was held in the open air and the speakers addressed the crowd from a stake wagon, which was illuminated by gasoline torches. The crowd was large and mani- festeda great deal of intense feeling. The speakers who preceded Morris attacked the scheme to raise a railway superstructure on Morgan street most bitterly, and when it came to his turn the crowd was well wrought up. Removing his hat and pulling up his coat sleeves, he faced the crowd and began: ‘*‘Now, my friends, I want toask you what Bonanza has ever done for this town.’’ [He referred to Col. Bozano, the Pennsylvania capitalist who was at the head of the enter- prise.| ‘‘Why, we never even heard of him until he came here and asked fora part of it. What right has hetospoil our streets and ruin our homes? All his life long he has lived away offin Pennsylvania doing nothing but accumulating millions with never a thought about this city and its welfare. And what have you been doing in that time? You’ve been right here working hard tryingto build up St. Louls. You bave built up your Iittle homes; you have Deen paying your taxes into the treasury, and though you haven’t raised any unsightly elevated roads in the streets, you have raised two or three children, which is a great deal better. [Ap- plause anda voice: A—— sight better, Tom, and its sense your talkin’ now.] Of course it’s sense I’m talkin’; the man who has raised up a family of children in this town has done more for it than Bonanza’s elevated railroad ever will do. ‘*But after you have made the town what It is, this Bonanza comes along, and, thinking he can double his millions at your expense, goes before our Council and says that what we need ts a steam railway running through the streets and over the houses. Did an man ever hear of such impudence as this fel- low’s, who never lived a day in the town coming all the way from Pennsylvania to tell us what we want? And he proposes to build this road right here in front of your very houses ; to take up this street which you made and paid for, and to shut out from your homes the blessing of God’ssunlight. And when you object, what does he say? He says that there are no people living on this street but Irish and niggers, and that your homes are nothing but shanties. What do you think of that? [A voice: ‘*I think he’s a dirty blackguard, that’s whatI think]. Well, I’m not hereto speak for the niggers, but I want to tell Bo. nanza this for the Irish, that we are as proud of those shanties fs he is of his palace, anda goer deal happierin them. And I want to ell him furthermore that if he does run his elevated road along here there won't be any danger ofthe passengers being shocked by the sights they would see out of the car win- dows as they might beif they were carried through more fashionable neighborhoods, for thank God, the Irish nome can always Seay reepertcn from the cellar to the gar- Since he has been on the bench of the First District Police Court Judge Morris has rend- ered several decisions which have attracted widespead attention. Probably the one which added most to his fame ey A ot = The Assistant Deceived. Palming the Dummy plest of all sleight of hand tricks. Anyone whocan palma coin cleverly can do it as wellas Herman. Borrow acoin from one of the spectators and mark it sothat it can be easily recognized. ‘Then some one in the audience is asked to hold this piece of money with the thumb and index finger of his right hand under a napkinor handaerchief, and Over a giass filled with water, which this same person holds in his lefthand. Both hands of the person beihg thus occupied, there isno chance for doubt on the part of the audience or himself. The juggler then takes his place a distance of several feet from his assistant, whom he commands at a given signaltodrop the coin intothe water, The noise with which it strikes the bottom of the glasscan be heard allover the rvom., When the napkin Is lifted frem the glass the money is nowhere to be seen, and upon search being instituted for the sameit is found undera hat orin the pocket of some one inthe audience. When examined it proves to be the identical piece of money which has been marked before the eyes of the audience. Inorder to execute this clever piece of jugglery, itis necessary to have a crystal disk of the same size and thickness as the coin thatis used. The former is hidden in the palm of the hand of the juggler, which does not hinder him from holding the coin at the same time with the index finger andthethumb. While his hand disappears beneath the napkin the exchange is made, unknown and unobserved by the person en- gaged to assist, the crystal taking the place of the coin. There is no danger of exposure in allowing the person who has supposably dropped the coin into the water and who is greatly non- plussed to examine the glass at the end of the ad ep wpe even if the glass has been emp- ied of the water the crystal disk will still ad- here to the bottom of it, especially if it cor- responds in size witht atier. With a little practice\this clever piece of jugglery can be perfornfed very neatly and readily to the great mystification of the un- initiated. WHITE MEN TURNED BLACK. A Young Chemist Diverts Some of His Friends, New YORK, April 30.—A. F, Walters, a young chemistand electrician, who lives at 548 Summit avenue, Jersey City Heights, en- tertained a few of his friends some nights ago with a bit of legerdemain that Hermann him- self might be proud of. Seating oneof the company in the middle of the room the chem- ist phone a mysterious-looking black wand which he began to waveabout the head of his subject. The face, neck and ‘hands of the subject, who was of very light complex- ion, instantly began to grow darker and darker until they were very dark brown. Afterthe astonishment of the spectators had subsided the young chemist explained that his magic was but theresult ofa very difficult chemical reaction that he had been working to obtain fora year. He had washed the face, neck and tag of the subject with a transparent solution. Under his own arm he had concealed a small rubber bag of gas, which was connected by rubber tube with the black wand, itselfa hollow: tube, so that while waving the wand he had ejected the gas. As soon as the gas came in contact with the solution on the skinadark brown com- pound resulted from the reaction, Mr. Walters gotthe ideaof his inventidh while watching the transformation tricks in one of the Hanlon plays.

PLUTARCH PLUNKINS, AN OLD SALT’S STORY. Mr. John Clements’ Cannibalistic Experi ¢ ence—How He Killed Sharks. ~— Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. The venerable John Clements of this city, now in his 85th year, spent his primeasa sailor, and his experiences, which he re- counts with a resolute air and youthful hha oe. are decidedly fresh and interesting. He s shipwrecked in the CaribbeanSeas, when the crew, driven to the verge of starvation- drew lots to determine who should be killed and eaten, The long straw was drawn by the boy Clem, ents, but being youngand the most agile, he escaped by running out on the bowsprit, from whence his companions, weakened by hun-, ger and standing breast-deep in the water, were unable to follow him. Afterthree days, one of the men having died in the mean- time, be was solicited tocome down from his perch and share in the horrid repast over the remains. He was thus providentially 1 age ene In due time Mr. Clements came to St. Louls. Arriving here about the year 1831, he followed the river and engaged in furnish- ing boat supplies until he amassed a fortune and lost it by indorsing the paper of a brew- ingconcern. After his retirement he could for years, on a sunny afternoon, be seen seated under the sbady trees of Lafayette Park, where incompany with the late Judge Lightner, Richard Dowling, perhaps, A. Capt.

BILL NYE. It affords me unfeigned pleasure to put on permanent record the expression of my be- lief, that the stage isa mighty factor in the chief glory of civilization—the upbuilding of the human race, How? ’ By the exposure of cant, the unveiling of hypocrisy, the condemnation of injustice and the undoing of affectations on the one hand, and by the vivid portrayal of manly honor, feminine grace and all-round square- ness on the other, JOSEPH HOWARD, JR. GLAMOUR. A song of tho Caucasian Mountaineers, translated through the Russian from the original Lesghian. **Come out of doors, O mother And see wh@ a wonder is here uP through the snows of the mountain The flowers of spring appear. Come out on the roof, V mother, And see how along the ravine The glacier ice is covered With the spring-time’s leafy green!’’ **There are no flowers, ny daughter, *Tis only because thou art young That blossoms from under the mountain snows Appear to thee to have sprung. There is no grass on the glacier, The biades do not even start, But thou art in love, and the grass and flowers Are springing in thy heart.’’ GEORGE KENNAN,. A noble art; one to be long time wooed, Not lightly loved for any fleeting wile, As pretty wantons for a tinsel smile, But married statelily in serious mood. Nor should we treat our goddess as a prude, Striving to keep from her all hint of guile, Blinding her eyes to what is mean and vile And pointing out how truth is misconstrued, No! like a warrior maiden armed and free, Let her spring forth to triumph over wrong To battle with the petty, raise the great, And give to art a spiendid liberty! So shall her power be high as well as strong Her influence a glory to the State, AMELIE RIVES. It is, perhaps, a most fortunate occurrence that the stage is not perfect; it affords sucha fine opportunity totry and makeit so. That it grows slowly towards an ideal, in spite of @il the lumber it has tocarry, may be taken for granted. Thatitis now an energizing ower, not shut up in its own dressing-room, s proven by a garden turned into a bazar, If, afterall, this should be the case with many a comedy, the origin is to be traced in our seemingly incurable weakness in technical matters, our want of Knowledge of form and command of scenic expedients. Schiller’s exaggerated breadth which he found neccessary to complete his characters, as wellas Goethe’s architectonic awkward- ness, can be thus explained. And these faults are souniversally known that ifa German should conceive the idea of writing a play whose action takes place dur- ing the French revolution, one would at once remark that the play lacks in action, that all importance has been concentrated upon the characteristics, and that one had, therefore, the rightto expect in a revolutionary play anabundance of exciting, exterior events. Butisit by any means necessary to en- deavor to dramatize the French revolution? Can one not describe a revolution in a human life? The action which should be the object of the dramatist does not consist in exterior events, butinthose of the soul. If at the same time something exciting for the senses of the curious audience can be included all the better! One should not despise the coarser needs which human beings once for all will not leave at home when they visit a theater, and the coronation procession in ‘‘Joan of Arc’’ harmstrue poetry as little as organ recital and bell ringing does true devotion. Yet the real tragedy is enacted in the heart of the virgin. Andis itnot pecullar how strangely the good Germans behave themselves! They con- tinually expressa passionate desire for action inthe drama and yet only such pieces pre- serve the first charm of novelty in which, above all elise, characters are to be found. Why is otherwise such a badly connected drama, abounding in genre scenes and con- versations like *‘Kgmont’’ always certain of its effect upon a full house, if not simply because all its characters are alive and appear s0 congenial to the German as if he had met them in his mother’s house. What causes Lessing’s ‘*Minna von Barnhelim’’ to remain inde- structible tothis day? surely not the excit- ing interest of the plot nor the comedy effects, which are so moderate that they are hardly able to roduce a_whole-souled laughter, But, what is more, our heart laughs within us when thecharacters in their incomparable animation step before us. That isthe deep traitof the Teutonic na- ture for the peculiar and individual which, in contrast tothe Romanesque, is based on our deeper feelings for poetry. Though we also hasten to see hhowa remarkable, exciting or amusing story istold us dramatically and Nidyara onthe Stage. Niagara Falls. As this lady is not a profes- sional acrobat, means had tobde devised that would enable herto make the trip safely and without difficulty, and the. engineer’s genius was called into play. to accomplish this. The cable which stretches from side to side isabout eighteen feet abovethe stage floor and forty-eight feetiong. Onone side it is tastened to the wall and onthe other toa tackle-bloek by which it can be made taut. It is essential that the tension be perfect, other- wise the weight and friction of the wheels of the cycle would cause itto sagso much that it would form’ too heavy a grade for the wheels to mount OVer the second half. But that which.makes it safe for a non-ac- robat to perform so difficult a task is the trapeze suspended from the center of the bli- cycie to which itis fastened by means ofa pin. Toremove the center of gravity suf- ficiently below the centerof the suspension system, two weights are attached to the lower extremities of the trapeze. Besides, when the two artists have mounted to their respective places, the differencein weight is considera- bly in favor of the lower portion ofthe ap- paratus, No fear need therefore be enter- tained in regard to ‘the stability of the con- trivance. The hand-bar is wedged tightly to the wheels, and the latter with concave fellies are attached to. the cable, over which they glide asovera rail. The whole has the appearance as if the cyclist moved the machine by means Of the pedals, and what looks like a hazardous task is in reality per- formed without danger and dificulty. To highten the effect of the whole, the falls are as naturalas ingenious stage manage- ment can makethem. Although the illusion is not quite perfect, the effect is nevertheless very realistic. The falls are elghteen feet high and fifty feet broad. The arrangement is simple to read aloud that the boy may keep still. It can not have been easy to make a figure thus play an accessory role and yet not really put it in the background, But Mr. Sargent has done this admirably, and despite its second- ary importance, has given due dignity tothe mother’s figure. In the other picture ofa mother and child to which I have just re- ferred, both figures were of equal importance. In this one only the boy’s is properly to be calleda portrait. Yet hereagain we find that a large part of the interest and charm of the result springs from its expression of material and filial affection. That this same ex- pression—difiicult to secure in any way with- out falling into patent sentimentality—has been secured by Mr. Sargenttwice, and in such different ways, certainly shows that he is not only a very great painter, but a very great artist too. This isthe picture for which Mr. St. Gaudens gavein return the full-length relief of Mr. Sargent’s sister which was exhibited last year. And even a work by St. Gaudens was littie enough as aymentforit. Lastyear it gained a prize n Philadelphia. Here itcan gain no prize except instant and earnest admiration, but this will surely be bestowed. Among other conspicuous pictures in this collection are Mr. Thayer’s *‘*Madonna’’ and Mr. DuMond’s ‘‘Christ Child,’’ both already wellknown by repute, although not previ- ously exhibited in New York; Mr. Cox’s figures called ‘‘Echo’’ and ‘‘Blonde,’’ Mr. Denman’s ‘**Ode to Aphrodite,’’ Mr. Robin- son’s ‘‘Roman Garden,’’ Mr. Wile’s **‘ Woman and Child in a Garden,’’ Mr. Simmons’ **Carpenter Shop,’’ portraits by Mr..Chase, Mr. Metcalf, Mr. Weir and Mr. Isham, three or four works by Mr. Childe Hassam, a nude by Mr. H. O. Walker and landscapes by Mr. Weir, Mr. Coffin, Mr. Chase, Mr. boncke: Mr, Bolton Jones,Mr.Platt, Mr. Rice, Mr. Horatio Walker, Mr. Kost and Mr, Dearth. But a first, hasty glance does not fit me to speak about these or anything else to-day except Mr. Beckwith’s interesting iar portrait of Miss Lillie Hamilton French, the writer, who is shown as _ three- quarter length in a_ white ruffled =a een background, The likeness is aithful not only in form, buta rarer thing, of course, in sentiment as well; and a charm- ing personality has been charmingly ex- pressed in the pose as well as the head Itself. As a study of color, illustrating the modern love for very bright notes in a very high key, the work is extremely interesting if, as re- gards the tone of the background, not per- fectly satisfying.

THE _° FRUGAL MALTESE HUSBANDMEN, Bpecial Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DISPATOH. _ QOnroeaia, Italy, April 11.—Looking back from within the environment of fisher folks of the Adriatic, and even with all the fair domes and minarets of Venice in view across the opaline waters of the flashing lagoons, the peasantry of Multa are, tomy eyes, set in a fair and sunny perspective. They are thrifty and virtuous; loyal and loving; kindly and pious; patient and good. There is not. a land under the sun where natural conditions have been so bravely overcome, and where original sterility has been so transformed into permanent fruitful- Nearly the entire was originally a bar- ren desert rock. Save upon a minor portion of its western slope and within the tiny gardens of the rich, when Charlies V. gave it to the Knights or St. John, there was not natural sollenough upon the island in which to bury the dead. Perhaps that may account for Malta’s thousands of rock-hewn tombs found in catgcombs be- cut in all accessible rocky ledges and projections, or even sunk in sur- face levels as I have found them. And yet to-day there is much aptitude in the boast of the Maltese that their island of stone is the Fiore del Mondo, or ‘‘Flower of the World;’’ for it actually supports, from the products of the soil it possesses, a greater population in proportion to its insignificant area than can elsewhere be found outside China and Japan. The accretion ofthis soil during the 360 years between the arrivalofthe Knights and the present day has been a work of conservation of trifies majesticin its miserliness and pa- tience and is without parallel in economic his- tory. The incorrect statement has been made that Maita’s entire soilhas been brought in ship-loads from Sicily. Some of it has been. But it has been chiefly brought from ail quarters of the globe. There is no such thing as waste in Malta. Theshellof an egg, the chaff packings of merchandise, the entrails of fish, the sweepings of ships’ decks and debris from their holds, even the exuvx of birds, are all treasured, and these in other lands infi- nitely little and despised things, with the curious method of year by year creating, lit- erally creatingrod by rod, a tiny additional patch of cultivable land, out of the very rock of the island’s face, has at last given. Malta its splendid luxuriance. Singularly, too. it is practically all hidden from sight. Youcan findit, but you cannot see itin the general view. There are few ints in the entire island where from he highways your eyes can restupon any- thing but rock. The roads before you, the walis beside you, the house-wallis and roofs wherever discernible, are all of stone. There are places in Cornwall wtiere fora thousand earsthe earth has been disemboweled for in, and every prospect is upon ridges of stone, blanched mine refuse and upturned rock. I often thought of this as Itramped G@long the Maltese highways. Everywhere one looksitis as thou asurgingsea had suddenly been transformed by miracles of petrifaction into ridges and dikes of pale saffrony stone. The glare of a midsummer sun upon such a landscape or rockscape must be blinding indeed. This has all come about in the terracing and diking of the uneven surface of the island, through the in‘inite patience and labor of the Maltese peasantry since the Knights with the monks of their time taught thei how ‘‘oll might be made to flow from rocks and honey sucked from the very stone,’’ as I have heard them tell inthetir almost plaintive Arab chants, which they @lways haif crooning and half singing face of Malta ' red in any manner of labor. ~iew ence o; all the cultivated lands in 4 Malta have Meade by actually breaking 4 cKkaxes *, h pl 8S th@®surface of the rock to . 2p. wit depth of two feet, level ng it, and pling a ents waibe thesame stone reduced to pow , a5 itis very 60ft and easily pul- verized, mixe@ with layers of pumice and everything in the nature of soil which has for a long time been scraped together and treas- ured against this most important of all times to thus reclaim Ooratenth of an acre isthe proudest act of = Maitese peasant’s life. e@ has less pridein his wife, his children orhisanimais.

A no- Dility grew-up under the regime of the Knights thatexiststothisday. I thoughtthat of the Balearic islands insignificant to the de- gree of travesty; but the nobility of Maita are still less in numbers and importance. They are styled margquises, counts and Darons. There are perhaps a score of them ali told; and I know of a certain Baltimorean. who controls twice as many acres of land in the Highlands of Scotland for a‘‘shooting’’ as they collectively possess. About one-haif of the 100,000 acres of cultivable land is owned by these noblemen. The remainderis very equally divided between the Church and the British Crown. . Holdings are nearly all under short, gener- e@liy eight-year, leases, but there are a num- ber of 90 and 100 years leases, givinga virtual Ownership. ‘hese tiny Maltese farms are very small, Afew comprise as many as five salmas, or about twenty-one acres. The most are from one to three salmas, and I know of many with no more than three mon- delli, or less than an eighth of an acre of land ineach. The rentals of these, with ali re- pairs and improvements at the cost of the peasant tenant, range from $5 to $20 per acre. FARMING IN MALTA. - Ifthe peasant’s holding is little and pict- Uresque in its grouping of craggy terraces, his home and belongings are indeed snug a@nd picturesque. ‘There is not a squalid, oy Byrew rustic’s abode upon the island. Fr it scarcely larger thana sentry-box, the walls will be of stone, which is so soft he can chop it out of the ledges with anax, after which it hardens by exposure. Ihave seen some roofs of solid rockin thick flat. slabs but most are plastered with pozzalana, and all are huge and flat. These structures are usually very low, oc- casionally two low stories, but oftener one, and always after the Moorisn style of extenda- ing four or atleast three sides around the court. This ts invariabie, however minutive may be the home. I have often seen them so small that members of the same family could almost join hands across the open court, but the court was there, with the “open sky and its healthful vertical light with 6 sunshine and the birds; and better than ‘all, that sense of snugness and nearness be- tween every member of such a household and every other, and the feeling of accessibility and even companionship which draws close otest household outreachings and be- ngs, such as the tiers of little boxes in we Americans live can never give.

Often the old Moorish nora or water-wheel stands silently or creaks dismally near the abode. Here and there near the jome will be found the ancient tread-mill the Bible times on which all the wheat and barley of the island is trod out Dy oxen or cows. ‘Against the walls will bang tremendous urds, quaint old farming implements or uge sieves with rawhide instead of wire screens, as all the grain is removed from the chaff in this primitive way. MALTESE FURNITURE. Owing to the scarcity Of wood upon the island hardly a wooden implement or article of furniture can be seen. Settles of stone are common. In many farm homes I found stone slabs utilized as tables, and in others the same set securely into the walls of rooms for bunks or beds. Window-panes are few, as the light from the sky through the open courts, andthe tiny and infrequent windows a foot square are ai} sufficient. Perhaps the most curious object to be found in these Maltese peasant homes is what may be termed their stoves. The Maltese literally have no firesides. They require ho artificial heat, and all their cooking—which Is re- stricted to bread made of wheat and bDariey meal, something of the consistency of a Scotch *‘bannock,’’ fish, which is plentiful and cheap and certain vegetable stews in which are stirred scant shreds of cured fish or scanter bits of bacon for seasoning—is done upon a portable stone shaped like a jar, and resembling in everything but color a tinner’s ordinary hand furnace in which his solaering irons are heated. Most oftnese are of home construction, cut out of any handy block of stone, with rude handles carved near the top, but some are of deift ware and more capacious and shapely. They can be carried about and the housewife can mind her cook- ing, if she likes, while at any drudgery of the house or flelds. The home and neighborhood life of these folk is not as colorful asthat ofthe Itallan and Spanish peasantry. ‘They are docile, calm, contened, ambitious only to thrive, and with a burning desire amounting often toa passion tobe better tenants than their predecessors. They rise and go to bed with the sun. If belated at night no friendly can- die light will guide the wanderer to a fireside. ‘he music of the guitar and mandolin alone would disclose the presence of this half Arabhome.

But they donot until after they are wed and become mothers, which ts often the case at 13 and 14 years of age.

These have been handed down from the Ser- ber and Moorish invaders of many centuries ago, and, like the Gipsy language, are preserved vocally. But count- less chants are improvised, and the hesitant and then outbursting character of these adds impressively to their weird effect. Men, womenand children chant under all circum- stances and conditions.

DEPEW TELLS OF THE » ‘DRIFT OF BRAIN WORK TO-DAY, é Written for the SUNDAY Post-Di1sPatTcu. At a dinner party in New York City a few evenings ago there were gathered around a table only twelve men, and yet the aggregate personal wealth added to the value ofthe properties which they represented would @mount to considerably more than half a Dillion dollars. Among the guests was Chauncey M. Depew, and he was asked by one of his fellow railroad presidents what, in his opinion, was the most striking develop- ment or indication ofthe day. It had been agreed when the party sat down to the table that no formal speech-making should interrupt the more cheerful and informal chat which was ex- pected to follow the dinner courses. But somehow Mr. Depew was stimulated by this question, and almost unconsciously he deliv- ered an oration, informal- enough, but in- tensely interesting and full of pregnant thoughts. Quick as thought he answered the question put to him by his friend as follows: **The stupendous intellectual activity and the capacity of the men of to-day to handle with cymparative ease problems and subjects: that a . generation ago could no more have entered the comprehension of men than the idea of ralil- way traveling or electric communication could have been appreciated or even vaguely understood by the men ofaffairs at the be- ginning of the century.’’ And with this asa i Fred. P. Olcott. text, Mr. Depew went on setting forth some of the intellectual activities of the time, so that when he had finished he had delivered ascharmingan oration as was ever heard from him at such a festivity. A few illustrations will show how rich a field Mr. Depew had to draw upon for his facts and examples. IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. After the close of the war there began to be ceveloped in the Southern States little by little various railway systems: - These roads were built with little regard to one another, and to meet urgent need for speedy commu- nication. There came alsoa great develop- ment of neglected resources. It was revealed that under the mountains of Tennessee and Alabama magnificent deposits of iron and of coal @xisted, and ,energy was airected to the utilization of this wealth. The planters, too, increased the area of cotton, and by tmproved methods of cultivation greatiy enlarged the product. These and the stimulation of other industries Ways, and sothey went on constructing one road after another until, almost before the North realized it,the States south of the Poto- macandeast of the Mississippi were really pee with independent railway systems. tisatheory of railroad men that the im- perative law of railway development leads ultimately to the consolidation of interests which are common, andif this be true It cer- tainly found an exemplification in the efforts of men of great ability, most of them natives of the various Southern States, to bring these various systems into one common associa- tion. This development was prodigious, and at last it was found that nearly 9,00u miles of raliiway, and “properties and securi- ties valued at not far from $500,000,000 were fllied and were also threatened. From vari- ous causes the peril became tmminent.

That, however, does not enter into the con- sideration as suggested by Mr. Depew. The bistory simply shows what the greatest eniuses of finance, not only in New York ut throughout the country, are just now thinking about. IN SCIENTIFIC COMMERCIAL LIFE. The great men whose brains are striving to “Wy” | 4 a | — make of commercial utility some of the great scientific discoveries of this end of the cen- tury’s days are yo aperges, Baw of the develop- ment of electricity as a business commodity ; and one of the great achievements of the winter and early spring has been’ the bring- ing into barmonious relations two of the reat corporations which have fol- owed the discoveries and applica- tion of such discoveries to commer- cial need of two of the greatest of American electricians, Thomas A. Edison and Prof. Thomson. Edison of late has been employing his busy brain in a single direction. He seems to be fascinated with his invention of aang ng by means Of magnetism iron ore from the foreign material with which it is associated when brought from the ground, and enormous as has been the money value of other of his inventions, it is his opinion that they will fall into comparative insignifi- cance beside the profits which this invention will bring to him. A powerful corporation, however, had been created commerciaily to develop some of his electric inventions, while in the New England states another great corporation controlied the patents which were the visible results of the studies and discoveries of Prof. Thomson. Between these two corporations the bulk of the business of furnishing eleciric light, wer and the machinery which utilizes such factors was controlled. Edison and Prof. Thomson are able to pull aside tue curtain which hides some of the mysteries of nature and give to the world the comforts and the blessings which flow from such dis- coveries, but it required another order of tal- ent to makethese discoveries commercially successful. Therefore, when Edison and Thomson had finished, the work of the bus!i- ness men began, and some of the ablest of busy business brains have undertaken this part of the jointdevelopment. All winter they have been thinking abouta union of in- terests, and a few weeks ago this was ac- complished. The union represents probably $50,000,000 of capital and the controlof the major part of the electric business of the United States. No one notassociated with these men can conceive the tremendous in- tellectual strain required@o bring about such consolidation. It is another one of those things with which the busy brains of men of genius have been engaged during the past few months. EX-SECRETARY WHITNEY’S NEW ACHIEVEMENT, When William C. Whitney finished his term as Secretary of the Navy, many thought that his career was practically finishea, for it had been crowned with political honors and he was alreacyaveryrichman. Yet it seems as though his business career only began when he bade goodbyeto the Navy Depart- ment. Aman of extraordinary ability, es- teemed by many politicians as having the capacity to become the’ ablest politician of his party did he desire to pursue politics, he seems to have preferred another fleld for his energies, and to have associated with himself a yvroup of business men whose achievements illustrate their brillant capacity. These men have been busy thinking, and asa ‘result of their energies it has been announced within afew days that they have secured control of, with a single exception, the great surface car lines Elihu Thompson. mn New York. Thereare nearly 100 miles of rail. The capital involved is nearly $50,000,000, and is likely to be $100,000,000 before their plans are consummated. For these brainy men, itisnow Dbelleved, have such towering business ambition that they look for control not only ofthe New York street rail- wa system, which is a ver- itable gold mine, but for the systems in many of the larger cities of the country. They have already secured controlin Phila- delphia, and, 18 reports be true, tosome ex- tent In Chicago. When their schemes are perfected these men will be in possession of properties whose yearly income would be simply stupendous, and it is believed to bea part of their plan toabandon entirely horse power and substitute for it,as they have already on Broadway in New York, cable 7 _— power or electricity. Whitney and his asso-t clates illustrate in their undertakings, the tendency toward ry eae achievement, which keeps busy brainsin this day to the highes tension and calls for the most admirable and remarkable of resources. ANDREW H. GREEN’S BUSY BRAIN. Mr. Andrew H. Green and those associated with him are employed just now upon a stu- ) Dendous plan, which if consummated will vastly extend the area of New York city make it equaltothe metropolitan district of London, annihilate as a municipal corpora. tion the city of Brooklyn and other smaller cities within fifteen miles of the City Hall, New York, and make one city containing nearly 3,000,000 of inhabitants. Mr. Green has been devoted tothis scheme for more than thirty years, and he has con- verted to his view some of the ablest men of epee spirit who live withinthe area which e contemplates includingin his great met- ropolitan city. Itis Mr. Green’s idéa that the law of combination or consolidation ap- plies as inevitably to aggregations ‘of indi- viduals to form cities as it does to railways or to other mer- cantile or commercial enterprises. Philadel. phia, Chicago, Boston, have all, he says, re- vealed in their experiences the tendency of such law, and itis his beliefthatthe time is not far distant when the greater New York, as it is called, willfurnish the most splendid example of metropolitan existence in the world. Atallevents, he and his associated men of brains are busy thinking about this matter, busy agitatingitand properly busy in their efforts to secure a favorable law from the New York Legislature. But thatis nottbe only thinginthe way of municipal economies that Mr. Green is agt- tating, He isa bridge builder in spirit, and is one of those men who have genius for affairs who is striving to throw a colossal span across the Hudson River, giving New York, orthe Island of Manhattan, a highway to the continent. Such a scheme as he pro- poses, and hasin fact advanced so farthat the financing of it has begun, involves the bringing into New York City of the fourteen trun lines of railway which now stretch from the western banks of the Hudson, some of them across tke con- tinent. Such a bridge as he contem- plates would be the most splendid triumph of modern mechanical engineering. It would be a combination of the suspension and can- tilever systems, and would furnish the long- est span in the world—a span, in fact, which atthe time of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge would have been regarded as impos- sible, orat least dangerous. But the busy engineers of the present day have been think- ing about great things as well as the finan- ciers, and they are now able toconstruct bridges which even twenty years ago would have been deemed as pure a flight of fancy as is the story of Jack and the beanstock. IN OTHER FIELDS. So we might goon, as Mr. Depew did for an hour, in describing other achievements and attempts at achievement of the men of genius of to-day. Somebody asked Mr. Depew why there was no longerany great litera- ture. He said because It was not written. ‘*-But why isit not written? Are there no longer men of genius?’’ ‘*‘Ah, men of prodigious genius,’’ he re- pifed, ‘‘but genius nowadays is building great bridges, constructing superb artificial water-ways, conquering prairies and mountains and bisecting them with railway tracks, mastering the ocean and sending W. C. Whitney. steamships to Europe in five days’ time. They are engaged in conquering the desert lands of the West and making grain grow where only the sage brush used to flourish. They are doing as young Tessla did, discovering new forms of electrical de- velopment, but they are not writing books. Perhaps the time will come when the great herald will tell the stories of these modern exploits of genius, but the herald of to-day isthe pioneer of the surveying party, the frontiersman, the genius who conceives the new bridge, anew railway or how to better anold one. That is the reason why busy brains of to-day are not writing books.’’ E. J. EDWARDS, INSIst on getting Dr. ENNO SANDER’S Selt- zer and Vichy, which is pure and whslesome.

An Australian Scientist’s Queer Experi- ments With Solutions of Gold. * Prof. A. Liversidge of Sydney, New South Wales, states in a paper read before the Australasian Association for the Advance- ment of Science at Melbourne in 1890, that he first observed in 1889 that gold was removed from solution and suspension by fungoid growths, and had since made further in- vestigations. The gold was held in suspen- sion in distilled water, that had been pre- pared at different times, the gold being re- duced from a weak solution of the chloride by means of phosphorus dissolved in ether. A complete precipitation usually takas sev- eral years. Examining the bottles which had been settling since 1881, he found that in those having fungoid growths, usually at the bottom ofthe bottles, the liquid was colorless,but in the others the color was ruby redor purple, the gold being still in sus- pension. In one bottle put upin November, 1884, having the liquid colorless, a purple Diue fungoid growth had taken place, which under the microscope was a mass of matted purple- biue filaments, but after being dried over a spirit lamp the filaments retained their form but acquired the luster and color of gold. In 1889 other experiments weretried with more precise results. Butit was found that not only molds produce the result, but also any organic matter living or dead. . JoHN W.

Written for the SUNDAY POST-D1spatcnu. In view of the frequency of defaulting cashiers in this country itis worth while to learn from a professional accountant in busi- ness how the offenders manage to conceal their stealings for a long time. This in- formation in the form of recorded cases is provided below. A man dealt very largely in patent medl- cines and his daily receipts amounted to some $400 or $500. In addition to this business he had a private estate which yielded consid- erable revenue. The principal, finding his business growing too much for him to con- duct personally, appointed one of his trusted men as manager, with power of attorney to indorse all checks and deposit them in a bank to the principai’s credit, keeping, of course, separate bank accounts for the medicine business and the private estate. The lax manner in which everything was conducted and the want of supervision of the accounts prompted the manager to appro- priate a small amount which he needed for a pressing purpose. This sum was augumented from time to time by further peculations, He became so bold that a check for $486 was one day received on account of the estate and he appropriated it to his own use. Of the estate accounts the principal kept close inspection, being particularly interested in the bank balance to the credit of the estate. An’ in- Spection of this account was made monthly, and in order to swell the balance of the ac- count tampered with the Manager would pay in a day or so before such inspection, a sum of money, representing nearly the amount stolen,which was received from the medicine customers, thus transferring the shortage from the estate account tothe medicine ac- count, ' FATAL ALLIANCE, The practice was continued for two years, and each month the deficiency became greater and greater uptil at last it assumed such dimensions thatthe manager, who was cashier as well, had to take the bookkeeper inte his confidence, and cajeled him into supplying the principal with falsified bDal- ance-sheets. The assets of the concern were false, the stock being placed at some $8,000 more than it really was, and the unpaid ac- counts were manipulated at the,close of each half year, sothat false charges were made against the larger customers’ accounts for goods purporting,to have been only recently supplied, the payment for which, it was stated, had not becomedue. The bank balances always remained healthy and that satisfied the principal without going closely into details. Had he done sohée would have discovered that names of customers who had no existence appeared on the ledgers, and these accounts were carefully keptactive by means of constantly debiting them with goods never delivered and crediting them with cash never recéived. But those mystic accounts never appeared on the list of customers’ accounts. Further, the principal would have discov- ered that the shipping clerk’s record was far more each month than the amount of goods charged up against the customers—that large parcels of goods had been sent to a good pay- ing customer, but not charged; and when that customer remitted his check it was of course misappropriated. When the manager suspected that the prin- cipal wished to see the bank balance to the credit of the ‘‘medicine account,’’ the mana- ger, knowing well that the principal knew approximately how each account stood, and if it happened to be about $1,000 below the average, collections on account ofthe estate would instantly be made and placed tothe credit of the ‘‘medicine account.’’ Thus, by playing one account against the other the principalwas deceived, but it could easily have been prevented had the two dif- ferent accounts been perfodically examined uptoany given point at the same time. The crash came. The accomplice book- keeper died, and the newone sent out Dills for all overdue accounts upon the books. The manager absconded, and the stock to be replenished or placed at its proper standard would have created an overdraft on the bank account. Anew balance sheet, prepared by the inevitable expert called in too late, showed a deficlency of $32,000. USED THE CHECKS. In another case, that ofa manufacturing concern, the cashier wanted money. Num- erous checks, drafts, bills and cash in a variety of forms were daily passing through his hands, and he wondered which of them he could take with the least chanee or dis- covery. He took the check received froma customer of standing, whose account had just become due, and Who was above sus- picion, so far as credit went, so that the pay- ment being shown to bea little overdue no notice was taken of it. He entered all the receipts in his cash book that day with the exception of the One abstracted. His cash of course was short that amount until the end of the month came, when it must be put right at all hazards, that it might not ap- pear on the list of monthly balances. This is the plan he adopted. Againa large number of checks and much cash were received. The cashier entered to tire debit of his cash the name and amount he aDstracted last month. His success. led him the, following month to abstract the payments of four customers in the same way until he had tampered with eight accounts. p.

O. U.’8s. The cash so pro- cured was repaid on the same or following day, the auditors reporting that everything was allright. This practice was continued until the auditors came at an unexpected moment and, discovering a shortage in the cash, an investigation was immediately in- stituted. This resulted in the exposure of the scheme, which left a deficiency of $17,200 to be met by the firm, as, at the commence- ment of the investigation, the guilty man left for parts unknown. A CARELESS AUDITOR. Another cashier ofafirm in another city, where a large number Of payments for ad- vertising were made montily, covered up his cash stealings in the following manner: The advertising receipts were gsmailin size and were fastened tightly together. The auditor’s clerk checked the detalied receipts with a summary pinned onthe front of the batch, The auditor very energetically can- ceied this summary and ticked with a colored pencil the various small-sized receipts just as delicately as one would tick a ledger post- ing. The wily and ingenious cashier noticed this method of ticking,and asa consequence, most of the receipts Were Again produced at various times inthe succeeding yearas the dates suitea. The numberof the year was cove red by an accidental blot over the last figure, or was in some wayor another slightly defaced to avoid the prepes year ap- pearing on the receipt and the little colored tick was carefully rubbed off, CLEVEK, BUT CAUGHT. As a rule, although the metheds adopted by some cashiers are ag “ore the modes of pilfering cash and falsifying accounts are clumsy. The most simple and common way is fora cashier, when certain debts are col- lected, to debit himself with a part of the col- lection only. Inordertoavoid detection he applies the moneys most recently obtained to squaring his cash account so faras his ab- stractions out of the earlier payments go and of course he do@s not debit himself wit those yments Op the day they are re- ceived, but he does so @ few days later when he makes a further abstraction to enable him th previous receipts in the proper order This is one .. —_ anys - 7 ’ : ’ ay : 4 os Va : a c nee » oii es keptacurrent wages fund which was. m™- | creased each week by drawi a ro sum from the bank on account OF wages, which sum Was alwaysin excess of that act needed for that purpose. An inc P ance of cash was therefore always on hand, but, of course, this money was not always available because of the constant abstrac- tions of the cashier. Only last autumn a case occurred at a brewery in Philadelphia, where the cashier, who paid out the wages, drew for three ficti- tious names each week the sum of $22, $20 and $24, which sums he appropriated to his own use. This was kept up for eighteen months, when a system was inaugurated whereby the foreman of each department had to sign the wages list before the money was drawn. Again the cashier kept up his fraud by enter- ing the three names on the list after it had been signed by the foremen and immediately above the signatures of the foremen. How was the stealing eventually discov- ered? An auditor was called in, and sug- gested an alteration in the mode of payment of wages, Onthe Saturday just before the small parcels of wages had to be doled out the proprietor of the brewery deputed the cashier to do some other work and installed a strange man tocallout the names of the workmen and pay out the small packages, after which there remained three amounts unclaimed. The scheme was, of course, thereupon exploded and the cashier arrested. A shortage of $6,500 was discovered. SMART LONDON CLERK. AlLondon merchant’s confidential clerk about six years ago embezzled about $145,000 by fabricating a bank pass-book, by means of which he represented moneys paid into the account which he had really pocketed. Perhaps the word ‘‘fabricating’’ is not clear, inasmuch as the cashier kept two pass- books, one of which he wrote up himself and presented to the merchant whenever he was required todo so. He also undercast the debit and overcast the credit side of his cash book. The methods were particularly clumsy and any kind of an examination would have immediately exposed them. | The case of an insurance company’s loss through fraud on the partof a ve trusted cashier is noteworthy on account of the in- genuity displayea andthe comparative suc- cess achieved. The plan in question was Car: ried on for upward of six —_ in the face of a continuous monthly audit during the same period. Numerous checks were daily recetved from other companies and running accounts were kept with some two hundred and fifty highly reputable insurance companies in New York and other cities. The balances of the various companies were never questioned, and every month there was shown on a prepared statement the debt bal- ance against each of the companies, whose practice it was to reinsure their surplus risks with the defrauded com y, Moreover, to verify constantly those balances would have entailed an enormous amount of work. Even if statements had been sent Out ata given time, perhaps not in one instance would the figures of the reinsuring or defrauded com- pany have agreed with the figures shown asa alance by the ceding company, inasmuch as the premiums on reinsurances would not have been credited to the reinsuring com- any until advice had been given to the ced- ng com ny that particular risks had been accepted. Thus at any given point the Dal- ance on the books of the two companies would not have been found to be the same. To reconcile the balances it would have been found necessary for the audliors to examine the books of the ceding companies as well as those of the company with which the risks had been placed. This would have been al- most impracticable. WHAT THE ACCOUNTS SHOWED. To the insurance community the term ‘‘re- turn premiums’’ is well known, and the cashier, on the first day of every month was allowed to draw, say $300, to cover such small payments as petty cash and _ return premiums, and small items of commission duringthe month. Whatever balance re- mained on hand out of this $300 at the end of the month was to be paid into the bank with the ordinary deposit. For six years this bal- ance was not paid in, though it was clearly shown as deposited the last day of the month on the back of the stubs in the check-book. To illustrate how cunningly thetheft was perpetrated diagrams are given. The first represents the back ofthe stubs of the check book, which was the only part of the deposit audited. The second shows the actual de- posit as written on the paying-in slip and as received by the bank. These latter slips were kept by the bank and therefore never seen by the auditor. vo. 1.

On March 81 the balance of petty cash, $165, was to have been paid into the bank, but on the same day a check for $163 was received from a customer whose account was very active and which always showed a large bal- ance. Thischeck he appropriated towards the balance of petty cash which had been ab- stracted duriny the month, but in order to reconcile the actual deposit with the false particulars on the check-book he paid in sil- ver 2 cents and $2 in bills out of his own pocket. This system was carried on for six years. By comparing the two forms the mode of manipulation isclear. The result of so much ingenuity for so long a time was only a defalcation of $23, 286. ASTRONOMY FOR MAY. The Moon Will Be Eclipsed Once and Will Occult Several Planets. The most interesting celestial role in May is that enacted by the moon, which suffers an eclipse on the afternoon of the lith, and dur- ing the month occults or passes very near several planets. On the morning of May10the moon wilt again eclipse Uranus. It occurs about 3:30 and about twenty minutes before the moon sets, and ts visible at St. Louls. On May lithe moon is full and is eclipsed. At 68t. Louls the moon rises at 7:05 ve slightly tinged with the penumbral shade, which passes off com. pletely at 7:52. A good opera-giass or spy glass may show a slight discoloration at moon rise. This eclipse is visible to the whole of the Eastern hemisphere, and ig very nearly total. At its next return, ak 28, 1910 it will be visible here about midnight, and will be total for a few minutes. On the 17th, about noon the moon passes about three degrees south of Mars. But in July, August and September Mars will get rightint eee ee and will be eclipsed. n the 22d at 1:37 p. m., the moon one and three-quarter yo ee south of Jupiter. On June 18 it will ec this planet completely to people In south latitudes—the first of eleven successive occultations of this body. On the 24th, at 7:36, the moon passes two and three-quarter degrees north of mercury. The moon will be a mere sickle then, bei only forty hours from new moon, but perhap asharpeyecan pick up doth the moon the planet before suarise. ’ At 11:39 of the 26tn the moon is new, and at 6 the next morning she passes three and one half degrees north of Neptune. On the 29th, at 1:2 a. m., she passes 10:53 deg. north of Venus. The night before the two pas forming a charming picture Beside the Shunstary occultations the moon will eclipse many stars.

DEPEW TELLS OF THE » DRIFT OF BRAIN WORK TO-DAY, Written for the SUNDAY PostT-Dispatcu. At a dinner party in New York City a few evenings ago there were gathered around a ‘table only twelve men, and yet the aggregate personal wealth added to the value ofthe properties which they represented would amount to considerably more than half a | Among the guests was Chauncey M. Depew, and he was asked by one of his fellow railroad presidents what, in his opinion, was the most striking develop- ment or indication ofthe day. It had been agreed when the party sat down to the table that no formal speech-making should interrupt the more cheerful and informal chat which was ex- pected to follow the dinmer courses. But somehow Mr. Depew was stimulated by this question, and almost unconsciously he deliv- ered an oration, informal enough, but in- tensely interesting and full of pregnant thoughts. Quick as thought he answered the question put to him by his friend as follows: **The stupendous intellectual activity and the capacity of the men of to-day to handle with cymparative ease problems and subjects that a generation ago could no more have entered the comprehension of men than the idea of rall- way traveling or electric communication could have been appreciated or even vaguely understood by the men of affairs at the be- ginning of the century.’’ And with this asa — POA os SODEA 2 2 Od hdd ttt. #. 7 Z ’ oe wr, . ’ Ti V ORS <A A oS 00,54 Pe ag NY XU a Fred. P. Olcott. text, Mr. Depew went on setting forth some of the intellectual activities of the time, so that when he had finished he had delivered ascharmingan oration as was ever heard from him at such a festivity. A few illustrations will show how rich a field Mr. Depew had to craw upon for his facts and examples. IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. After the close of the war there began to be developed in the Southern States little by little various railway systems. - These roads were built with little regard to one another, and to meet urgent need for speedy commu- nication. There came alsoa great develop- ment of neglected resources. It was revealed that under the mountains of Tennessee and Alabama magnificent deposits of iron and of ~ coal existed, and energy was cairected to the utilization of this wealth. The planters, too, increased the area of cotton, and by improved methods of cultivation greatly enlarged the product. ‘These and the stimulation of other industries sh the South compelled the building of ratl- Ways, and sothey went on constructing one road after another until, almost before the North realized it,the States south of the Poto- macandeastof the Mississippi were really Seago with independent railway systems. tisatheory of railroad men that the im- perative law of rallway development leads ultimately to the consolidation of interests which are common, andif this be true ft cer- tainly found an exemplification in the efforts of men of great ability, most of them natives of the various Southern States, to bring these various. systems into one common associa- tion. This development was prodigious, and at last it was found that nearly 9,00u miles of raliway, and *properties and securi- ties valued at not far from $500,000,000 were allied and were also threatened. From vari- ous causes the peril became tmminent. The financial world was threatened with re- verses, the resultof which must have been appalling, and especially in the South. In 1873 the collapse ofa single railway brought on a mighty panic, and while such revulsion as causes panic was not anticipated, yet it was feared that the disaster,if it was allowed to come, would prostrate business and stag- nate commerce. In this emergency some of the ablest finan- ciers who ever hadthe handling of colossal roblems were appealed to, and chief among hese was Mr. Fred P. Olcott. This gentleman had first gained financial repute by his - administration of the financial department of | New York State. ‘ three years. When Mr. Olcott’s term expired He was its Comptroller for he was chosen head ofa great banking insti- tution and there began to reveal extraordi- Mary capacity as an organizer, or more properly reorganizer, of great financial properties which wW..c threatened with ruin. This requiresa capacity for reading the meanings concealed behind figures and almost intuitive perception of the earning wers of corporations, an instant percep- ion of sources of weakness and opportuni- ties for strength, but aboveall it entails the power tocommand the confidence of great capitalists, one of the most difficult things forafinancier to achieve. Jay Gould has most of these qualities, but sadly lacks one. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan possesses them all to the highest degree, so that he is probably es- teemed bothin this country and in Great Sete the ablest constructive financier of his generation. OLCOTT AS A FINANCIER. Mr. Olcott has solved successfully several Gelicate and difficult problems Involving many millions, and conspicuously that pro- longed vexation, the Virginia State debt question. When they appealed to Mr. Olcott, there- fore, to undertake to bring these great Andrew H. Green. ' . + Bouthern railway properties out of the con. dition of chaos an wed groan the greater finan- felt that if it could be done it would be. problem was one Of extraordinary dim- culty. It involved an understanding of the State laws of five States,a knowledge of various issues of securities, which seemed as tabulated as per mgs as a labyrinth; i required a knowledge of the earning capacity ee tee lines of railway, and it entail a thorough understanding of the methods of railway management. So Mr. Oicott found himself confronted with all these things and with the task of bring- ing order, security and confidence for properties representing half a billion dollars and nearly 10,000 miles of nr: He called to his assistance several of the financial gentuses of New York, an Bs: a day after and Sola pight after night these busy and brilliant — other : . With the ndered over the problem, while ed on holders they would be able to save these great properties and bring them through a state of convalescence to perfect heaith. Moreover, bankers who controlled many millions of dollars were ready to subscribe $14,000,000 hard cash in order to assist the con- summation of this project. Whether it succeeds or not at this writing is not known, for tbe time has not yet arrived when succesg, or tailure is to be announced. That, however, does not enter into the con- sideration as suggested by Mr. Depew. The history simply shows what the. greatest eniuses of finance, not only in New York ut throughout the country, are just now thinking about. IN SCIENTIFIC COMMERCIAL LIFE. The great men whose brains are striving to make of commercial utility some of the great scientific discoveries of this end of the cen- tury’s days are regen Be of the develop- ment of electricity as a business commodity; and one of the great achievements of the winter and early spring has been’ the bring- ing into barmonious relations two of the reat corporations which have fol- owed the discoveries and _ applica- tion of such discoveries to commer- cial need of two of the greatest of American electricians, Thomas A. Edison and Prof. Thomson. Edison of late has been employing his busy brain in a single direction. He seems to be fascinated with his invention of aoterge am by means Of magnetism iron ore from the foreign material with which it is associated when brought from the ground, and enormous as has been the money value of other of his inventions, it is his opinion that they will fall into comparative insignifil- cance beside the profits which this invention will bring to him. A powerful corporation, however, had been created commerciaily to develop some of his electric inventions, while in the New England States another great corporation controlied the patents which were the visible results of the studies and discoveries of Prof. Thomson. Between these two corporations the bulk of the business of furnishing eleciric light, wer and the machinery which utilizes such factors was controlled. Edison and Prof. Thomson are able to pull aside tue curtain which hides some of the mysteries of nature and give to the world the comforts and the blessings which fiow from such dis- coveries, but ft required another order of tal- ent to makethese discoveries commercially successful. Therefore, when Edison and Thomson had finished, the work of the busi- ness men began, and some of the ablest of busy business brains have undertaken this part of the joint development. All winter they have been thinking about a wynion of in- terests,and a few weeks ago this was ac- complished. The union represents probably $50,000,000 of capital and the controlof the major part of the electric business of the United States. No one notassociated with these men can conceive the tremendous in- teliectual strain required@to bring about such consolidation, It is another one of those things with which the busy brains of men of genius have been engaged during the past few months. EX-SECRETARY WHITNEY’S NEW ACHIEVEMENT, When William C. Whitney finisbed his term as Secretary of the Navy, many thought that his career was practically finishea, for it had been crowned with political honors and he was alreacyaveryrich man. Yet it seems as though his business career only began when he bade goodbyeto the Navy Depart- ment. Aman of extraordinary ability, es- teemed by many politicians as having the capacity to become the ablest politician of his party did he desire to pursue politics, he seems to have preferred another field for his energies, and to have associated with himself a ywroup of business men whose achievements illustrate their brilliant capacity. These men have been busy thinking, and asa resultof their energies it has been announced within afew days that they have secured control of, with a single exception, the great surface car lines Elihu Thompson. mn New York. Thereare nearly 100 miles of rail. The capital involved is nearly $50,000,000, and is likely to be $100,000,000 before their plans are consummated. For these brainy men, itisnow believed, have such towering business ambition that they look for control not only ofthe New York street rail- wa system, which is a ver- itable gold mine, but for the systems in many of the larger cities of the country. They have already secured controlin Phila- delphia, and, 18 reports be true, tosome ex- tent in Chicago. When their schemes are perfected these men will be in possession of properties whose yearly income would be simply stupendous, and it is believed to bea mart of their plan toabandon entirely horse power and substitute for it, as they have already on Broadway in New York, cable power or electricity. Whitney and his asso-t Clates illustrate in their undertakings the tendency toward Lgtepoge achievement, which keeps busy brainsin this day to the highes tension and calls for the most admirable and remarkable of resources. ANDREW H. GREEN’S BUSY BRAIN. Mr. Andrew H. Green and those associated | with him are employed just now upon a stu- | pendous plan, which if consummated will vastly extend the area of New York city make it equal tothe metropolitan district of London, annihilate as a municipal corpora. tion the city of Brooklyn and other smaller cities within fifteen miles of the City Hall, New York, and make one ‘city containing nearly 3,000,000 of inhabitants. Mr. Green has been devoted tothis scheme for more than thirty years, and he has con- verted to his view some of the ablest men of pane spirit who live withinthe area which e contemplates includingin his great met- ropolitan city. Itis Mr. Green’s idéa that the law of combination or consolidation ap- plies as inevitably to aggregatious ‘of indi- viduals to form cities as it does to railways or to other mer- cantile or commercial enterprises. Philadel. phia, Chicago, Boston, have all, he says, re- vealed in their experiences the tendency of such law, and it iafiis belief thatthe time is not far distant when the greater New York, as it is called, will furnish the most splendid example of metropolitan existence in the world. Atallevents, he and his associated men of brains are busy thinking about this matter, busy agitating itand properly busy in their efforts to secure a favorable law from the New York Legislature. But thatis notthe only thinginthe way of municipal economies that Mr. Green Is agi- tating, He isa bridge builder in spirit, and is one of those men who have genius for affairs who its striving to throw a colossal span across the Hudson River, giving New York, orthe Island of Manhattan, a highway to the continent. Such a scheme as he pro- poses, and hasin fact advanced so farthat the financing of it has begun, involves the rns ga into New York City of the fourteen trun lines of railway which now stretch from the western banks of the Hudson, some of them across tke con- tinent. Such a bridge as he contem- plates would be the most splendid triumph of modern mechanical engineering. It would be a combination of the suspension and can- tilever systems, and would furnish the long- est span in the world—a span, in fact, which at the time of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge would have been regarded as impos- sible, orat least dangerous. But the busy engineers of the present day have been think- ing about great things as well as the finan- ciers, and they are now able to construct bridges which even twenty years ago would have been deemed as pure a flight of fancy as is the story of Jack and the beanstock. IN OTHER FIELDS. Sowe might goon, as Mr. Depew did for an hour, in describing other achievements and attempts at achievement of the men of genius of to-day. Somebody asked Mr. Depew why there was no longerany great litera- ture. He said because it was not written. ‘-But why isit not written? Are there no longer men of genius?’’ ‘*Ah, men of prodigious genius,’’ he re- pited, ‘‘but genius nowadays is building great bridges, constructing superb artificial water-ways, conquering prairies and mountains and bisecting them with railway tracks, mastering the ocean and sending W. C. Whitney. steamships to Europe in five days’ time. They are engaged in conquering the desert lands of the West and making grain grow where only the sage brush used to flourish. They are doing as young Tessla did, discovering new forms of electrical de-« velopment, but they are not writing books. Perhaps the time will come when the great herald will tell the stories of these modern exploits of genius, but the herald of to-day isthe pioneer of the surveying party, the frontiersman, the genius who conceives the new bridge, anew railway or how to better anold one. That is the reason why. busy brains of to-day are not writing books.’’ E. J. EDWARDS, INSIST on getting Dr. ENNO SANDER’S Selt- zer and Vichy, which is pure and wh®lesome.

An Australian Scientist’s Queer Experi- ments With Solutions of Gold. Prof. A. Liversidge of Sydney, New South Wales, states in & paper read before the Australasian Association for the Advance- ment of Science at Meibourne in 1890, that he first observed in 1889 that gold was removed from solution and suspension by fungoid growths, and had since made further in- vestigations. The gold was held in suspen- sion in distilled water, that had been pre- pared at different times, the gold being re- duced from a weak solution of the chloride by means of phosphorus dissolved in ether. A complete precipitation usually takas sev- eral years. Examining the bottles which had en settling since 1881, he found that in those having fungoid growths, usually at the bottom ofthe bottles, the liquid was colorless,but in the others the color was ruby redor purple, the gold being still in sus- pension. In one bottle put upin November, 1884, having the liquid colorless, a purple blue fungoid growth had taken place, which under the microscope was a mass of matted purple- blue filaments, but after being dried over a spirit lamp the filaments retained their form but acquired the luster and color of gold. In 1889 other experiments weretried with more precise results. Butit was found that not only molds produce the result, but also any organic matter living ordead. . JoHN W.

Written for the SUNDAY POST-Dispatcnu. In view of the frequency of defaulting cashiers in thts country itis worth while to learn from a professional accountant in busi- ness how the offenders manage to conceal their stealings for @ long time. This in- formation in the form of recorded cases is provided below. A man dealt very largely in patent medi- cines and his daily receipts amounted to some $400 or $500. In addition to this business he had a private estate which yielded consid- erable revenue. The principal, finding his business growing too much for him to con- duct personally, appointed one of his trusted men as manager, with power of attorney to indorse all checks and deposit them in a bank to the principal’s credit, keeping, of course, separate bank accounts for the medicine business and the private estate. The lax mannerin which everything was conducted and the want of supervision of the accounts prompted the manager to appro- priate a small amount which he needed for a pressing purpose, This sum was augumented from time to time py further peculations. He became so bold that a check for $486 was one day received on account of the estate and he appropriated it to his own use... Of the estate accounts the principal kept close inspection, being particularly interested in the bank balance to the credit of the estate. An in- Spection of this account was made monthly, and in order to swell the Dalance of the ac- count tampered with the Manager would pay in a day or so before such inspection, a sum of money, representing nearly the amount stolen,which was received from the medicine customers, thus transferring the shortage from the estate account tothe medicine ac- count, " FATAL ALLIANCE. The practice was continued for two years, and each month the deficiency became greater and greater until at last it assumed cashier as well, had to take the bookkeeper inte his confidence, and cajeled him into supplying the principal with falsified bal- ance-sheets. The assets of the concern were false, the stock being placed at some $8,000 more than it really was, and the unpaid ac- counts were manipulated at the,close of each half year, sothat false. charges were made against the larger customers’ accounts for goods purporting,to have been only recently supplied, the payment for which, it was stated, had not becomedue. The bank balances always remained healthy and that satisfied the principal without going closely into details. Had he donesohé would have discovered that names of customers who had no existence appeared on the ledgers, and these accounts were carefully keptactive by means of constantly debiting them with goods never delivered and crediting them with cash never recéived. But those mystic accounts never appeared on the list of customers’ accounts. Further, the principal would have discov- ered that the shipping clerk’s record was far more each month than the amount of goods charged up against the customers—that large parcels of goods had been sent to @ good pay- ing customer, but not charged; and when that customer remitted his check it was of course misappropriated. When the manager suspected that the prin- cipal wished to see the bank balance to the credit of the ‘‘medicine aceount,’’ the mana- ger, knowing well that the principal knew approximately how each account stood, and if it happened to be about $1,000 below the average, collections on account ofthe estate would instantly be made and placed tothe credit of the ‘‘medicine account,’’ Thus, by playing one account against the other the principal was deceived, but it could easily have been prevented had the two dif- ferent accounts been perfodically examined uptoany given point at the same time. The crash came. The accomplice book- keeper died, and the newone sent out Dills for all overdue accounts upon the books. The manager absconded, and the stock to be replenished or placed at its proper standard would have created an overdraft on the bank account. Anew balance sheet, prepared by the inevitable expert called in too late, showed a deficlency of $32,000. USED THE CHECKS, In another case, that ofa manufacturing concern, the cashier wanted money. Num- erous checks, drafts, bills and cash in a variety of forms were daily passing through his hands, and he wondered which of them he could take with the least chanee or dis- covery. He took the check received froma customer of standing, whose account had just become due, and Who was above sus- picion, so far as credit went, so that the pay- ment being shown to bea little overdue no notice was taken of it. He entered all the receipts in his cash book that day with the exception of the one abstracted. His cash of cuvurse was short that amount until the end of the month came, when it must be put right at all hazards, that it might not ap- pear on the list of monthly balances. This ts the plan he adopted. Againa large number of checks and much cash were received. The cashier entered to tlre rap of his cash the name and amount he aDstracted last month. His success led him the, following month to abstract the payments of four customers in the same way until be had tampered with eight accounts. . , . It will be noticed that the methods adopted did not involve any cash deficiency which an auditor would discover in counting of the cash on hand, neither Gid‘it necessitate any falsification by false entries. or altering bail- ances in the ledger, so tH&#-the stealing went on successfully fora p although an er Was keeping track diligentl a : r. Theos fee one iy gently as any au r. shier sim accepted the risk thatthe Mactante tampered with would not be ¢eOnsidéred overdue, and when spoken to he forafulated.a good excuse for the ‘non-receipt a @ebt. In fact, he went so far as to abst letters written to re gmat whose a fs he had tampered with. DS | In tambering with accounts he at length got to the end of his tether and took some of the firm’s cash out of the cash drawer, and on the day his cash was to be Counted by the auditors, to make it up be pald in some cash of his own and borrowed the remainder from friends on his I. O. U.’s. The cash so pro- cured was repaid on the same or following day, the auditors reporting that everything was allright. This practice was continued until the auditors came at an unexpected moment and, discovering a shortage in the cash, an investigation was immediately in- stituted. This resulted in the exposure of the scheme, which left a deficiency of $17,200 to be met by the firm, as, at the commence- ment of the investigation, the guilty man left for parts unknown. A CARELESS AUDITOR. Another cashier ofafirm in another city, where a large number of payments for ad- vertising were made monthly, covered up his cash stealings in the following manner: The advertising receipts were gsmalilin size and were fastened tightly together. The auditor’s clerk checked the detalied receipts with a summary pinned onthe front of the batch, The auditor very energetically can- ceied this summary and ticked with a colored pencil the various small-sized receipts just as delicately as one would tick a ledger post- ing. The wily and ingenious cashier noticed this method of ticking,and as a consequence, most of the receipts Were again produced at various times inthe succeeding yearas the dates suitea. The numberof the year was cove red by an accidental blot over the last figure, or was in some wayor anot slightly defaced to avoid the proper year af. pearing on the receipt and the little colored tick was carefully rubbed off. CLEVER, BUT CAUGHT. As a rule, although the metheds adopted by some cashiers are ingenious, the modes of pilfering cash and falsifying accounts are clumsy. The most simple and common way is fora cashier, when certain debts are col- lected, to debit himself with a part of the col- lection only. In ordertoavoid detection. applies the moneys most recently obtain to squaring his cash account so faras his ab- stractions out of the earlier payments go and of course he does not debit himself with those yments 0 @ day they are re- he does. few days later when further abstraction to enable him with previous such dimensions thatthe manager, who was keptacurrent wages fund which was. ™- | creased each week by drawi a ro sum from the bank on account Wages, which sum Was alwaysin excess of that act needed for that purpose. An - ance of cash was therefore always on d, but, of course, this money was not always available because of the constant abstrac- tions of the cashier. Only last autumn a case occurred at a brewery in Philadelphia, where the cashier, who paid out the wages, drew for three ficti- tious names each week the sum of $22, $20 and $24, which sums he appropriated to his own use. This was kept up for eighteen months, when a system was inaugurated whereby the foreman of each department had to sign the wages list before the money was drawn. Again the cashier kept up his fraud bynter- ing the three names on the list after it had been signed by the foremen and immediately above the signatures of the foremen. How was the stealing eventually discov- ered? Anauditor was called in, and suzg- gested an alteration in the mode of payment of wages, Onthe Saturday just before the small parcels of wages had to be doled out the proprietor of the brewery deputed the cashier to do some other work and installed a strange man tocallout the names of the workmen and pay out the small packages, after which there remained three amounts unclaimed. The scheme was, of course, thereupon exploded and the cashier arrested. A shortage of $6,500 was discovered. SMART LONDON CLERK. ALondon merchant’s confidential clerk about six yearsago embezzled about $145,000 by fabricating a bank pass-book, by means of which he ropeennted moneys paid into the account which he had really pocketed. Perhaps the word ‘‘fabricating’’ is not clear, inasmuch as the cashier kept two pass- books, one of which he wrote up himsel and presented to the merchant whenever he was required todo so. He also undercast the debit and overcast the credit side of his cash book. The methods were particularly clumsy and any kind of an examination would have immediately exposed them. | The case of an insurance company’s loss through fraud on the partof a ve trusted cashier is noteworthy on account of the in- genuity displayea andthe comparative suc- cess achieved. The plan in question was car- ried on for upward of six years in the face of a continuous monthly audit during the same period. Numerous checks were dally received from other companies and running accounts were kept with some two hundred and fifty highly reputable insurance companies in New York and other cities. The balances of the various companies were never questioned, and every month there was shown on a prepared statement the debt bal- ance against each of the companies, whose practice it was to reinsure their surplus risks with the defrauded com y. Moreover, to verify constantly those balances would have entailed an enormous amount of work. en if statements had been sent Out ata given time, perhaps not in one instance would the figures of the reinsuring or defrauded com- pany have agreed with the figures shown asa alance by the ceding company, inasmuch as the premiums on reinsurances would not have been credited to the reinsuring com- py until advice had been given to the ced- ng a ra that particular risks had been accepted. Thus at any given point the Dal- ance on the books of the two companies would not have been found to be the same. To reconcile the balances it would have been found necessary for the audliors to examine the books of the ceding companies as well as those of the company with which the risks had been placed. This would have been al- most impracticable. WHAT THE ACCOUNTS SHOWED. To the insurance community the term ‘‘re- turn premiums’’ is well known, and the cashier, On the first day of every month was allowed to draw, say $300, to cover such small payments as petty cash and “return premiums, and small items of commission duringthe month. Whatever balance re- mained on hand out of this $300 at the end of the month was to be paid into the bank with the ordinary deposit. For six years this bal- ance was not paid in, though it was clearly shown as deposited the last day of the month on the back of the stubs itn the check-book. To illustrate how cunningly the theft was perpetrated diagrams are given. The first represents the back of the stubs of the check book, which was thé only part of the deposit audited. The second shows the actual de- posit as written on the paying-in slipand as received by the bank. These latter slips were kept by the bank and therefore never seen by the auditor.

Thischeck he appropriated towards the balance of petty cash which had been ab- stracted during the month, but in order to reconcile the actual deposit with the false particulars on the check-book he paid in sil- ver 20 cents and $2 in Dills out of his own pocket.

ROBINSON. Written for SUNDAY PosT-DisPatTcn. Copyright. In the year 1876, having just returned from a voyage to the west coast of Africa, which, by the way,was my first experience in*‘plow- ing salt water.’’ I was trying to settle down on shore again and work at my trade, but failing health determined meto try the sea once more. I bad had enough of the African trade, so I concluded that **blubber hunting’’ was the ’ Jaziest way in which to build up my constitu- tion and at the same time seea little of the world. Thus, one day in September, I found myself standing on the,pier in New Bedford in a cold, drizzling rain, looking at a bluff- bowed, clunisy bark ofabout s5utons, painted a dirty yellow, with **Triton’’ on her stem. As I was looking curiously up at her single _topsail yards and other old-fashioned pecu- ' Warities, a well-dressed, middle-aged man approached, and, with an insinuating smile, said: _ %*] ge@ you’re looking at the old Triton?’’ ve ‘*"Yes,’’ said I, ‘‘Phere isno law to pre- Went it, is there?’’ '- “No, no, ofcourse not,’’ he replied. **Looxing for a chance to ship?’’ **Whereisshe going and how long isthe voyage?’’ I asked. ‘*Three years—in the Atlantic. © the owners. Ever been to'sea?’’ / ‘*‘Ihave made one voyage in a palm-oil trader,’’ said I, ‘‘and was offered a second mate’s berth when we got back.’’ **Just the ma e want. Where do you be- lop g?’’ **Nantucket,’’ I replied. **Nantucket! Why, man, any ‘scrap isl- ‘ ander’ will make a good whaleman. Come right up to my store and sign the papers. I’ll give you the 175th lay. Come along.’’ I followed him to his large clothing store on Wnion street, where I signed the ship’s articles—sailor HMke—without reading them. ] was told the ship sailed intwo weeks, and I was about to leave for the steamer to return home, when, with a bland smile, he id: Jam one of **Now, Mr. Barker, you will want an out.flo 1k eep everything you’ll need anda Chest t ut it in, and you can have all you want. then the voyageis over we will deduct it from your wages.’’ Ihad never beenon a whaler, but I was brought up on an island where whaling was the principalindustry since its settlement, andi well knew the kind of outfit and the out- rageous prices I should be obliged to pay ‘finally, so I said politely: **‘] don’t want anything,I shall buy my stuff at home for cash.’’ For a moment he was speechless with sur- rise and baffled greed, and then his better eelings evidently gotthe ascendancy, and, tucking one thumb in his vest, and laying his disengaged handon my shoulder, he deliv- ered himself as foliows: **Young man, lama ‘shark.’ It’s my busi- mess to ‘skin’ sailors, butif you have the cash to buy elsewhere, —— me if I don’t ad- vise you to doit!’’ I will not weary you with an account of my final preparations, or the parting with my mother and sisters. ~*Suifice it to say thac on Aug. 29, 1876, we said good by to Yankee landand shaped our course for the Azores Islands, where we were to ship several native Portuguese to complete our crew. It is only fair that Ishould give the reader a general outline of the crew with whom my lot was cast for what was, although unknown tomethen, destined to be a crulse around the world iasting over four years. The Captain was a long, lean, Mattapoisett ~~ Man who had served with distinction in the mavy, and at the close of the war returned to whaling. He possessed the courage of a lion and a good share of his strength, and in addi- tion was a first-class navigator and thorough seaman, and although rough, wasa Kind man @theart. The first officer was from Falir- haven, astout, red-faced man, who, while full of courage, had no judgment whatever and was universally disliked. The second mate was from Vineyard !'aven, a hand- some young fellow,a good sailor and Keen whaleman, but love for strong drink romised to ruin what otherwise would ave been aie successful career. The third officer was a Gay Head Indian fin the last stages of consumption, who was pe only because he owed the firm money and would in this way cancel as much of the debt as possible before he died. Poor fellow! We buried himatseainafew months. The fourth officer was q Portuguese. The four **harpooners’’ or ‘*boatsteerers’’ as they are now called, were Portuguese, and the cook and a large proportion of the crew were also **vees.’’ as sailorssay. Then there were two Germans, two Kanakas, a Frenchman, two Irishmen, a native of St. Helena, andhalf a dozen Yankees and Canadians. In all, we had thirty-one persons on board, including a carpenter, cooper and blacksmith. When we were clear of the land we were mustered on deck and divided into two watches. lwaschosen among the first by the second mate and assigned to the star board watch. I was aiso informed that I was to pull the ‘‘midship’s oar in the old ‘ . AS = iN ro © weg, 4 Ga: if Mi ‘ee ** Do You Want to Ship?’’ man’s boat,’’ to which I said, ‘‘aye, aye, gir,’’ not baving the sligntest idea where the honorable position might be. 1 soon found out, however. After we had been divided into watches the port watch went below and the second mate called out: **Here, one of you starboard watehmen, relieve the wheel and let that man gg below with his watch!’’ I was about the only man able to get to the wheel, sol went aft and took the spokes. The mate watched my performance for a few mo ments, andthen, seemingly satisfied that knew miy business, went forward to ascerta how many of his watch had ever seen a ship fore. A very sorry-looking crowd they were. The non mre had come on board under the influence of liquor, and nearly all the men were seasick. He found only one Man who could steer, and as a consequence the latter and I had all that work todo for some time, as the sea was too rough for an ao. totry his hand, But how we lorded tover the greenies! We steered, but nothin else,and the dirty work we escaped, ema loud was the grumbling from the rest of the watch, CHAPTER I1. THERE SHE BLOWS! One morning, when we were about two weeks out and had been partly instructed in our duties should whales be seen, the lookout the masthead discovered a school of sperm hales about two miles awuy, and ‘for the first time I heard that thrilling, indescribable cry so dear to whalemen: **4-h-h-h-h Bl-o-0-0-0-w-s!"’ In an instant all as confusion. dressed men came tumbiin Half- to confess that the bag andas he swung himself into the lookout hoops he took one look in the direction indl- cated. In aninstant he hailed the deck: **On deck there!’’ y, ay, gir! . ‘“Get the fines in the boats! Haul aback the main yard! See the boats’ falls all clear! Steward, bripgupthe bomb guns from the cabin—lively there, now!’’ e backed the main yard and cleared the boats’ falls, while the boat steérers put in the lines and Overhauled the harpoons. One man’s duty was to bring the bag of ship’s bread, lantern, compass and water keg, with- out witch no whaleboat ever leaves the ship, as sometimes they lose each other for days. As for myself, Iran here,and there in per- fect bewilderment. The wind was blowing very hard, the bark was under topsails, and it seemed like courting death to lower one of our frail boats in such a tremendous sea, but Isoon found the captain differed with my humbie opinion as he suhg out from alott: ‘Stand by larboard, waist and bow boats. Watch & good chance, Mr. Lawire, and don’t get stove alongside!’’ As the Captain’s boat, to which I belonged, was not going,and I found«I was to remain on the ship, limmeidlately began to wish 1 could take a hand in the dangerous trip, and as one of the mate’s crew,a thin, sickly chap,said he was too Ill to go, I volunteeréd in his place. The mate gladly made the change, as was an old oarsman, and stood 6 feet 4 besides. We succeeded in escaping any disaster as the boat struck the water and having holsted our ‘‘lug’’ sail, we found it wasto be a race which should be first to reach the whales. The huge animals were coming to the leeward and we hoped to be able to sail up to them,as to pass before me likea sachin y heard some one shouting, and ness. Topened my eyes next I was lying 1 the bottom of a boat, the seas breakin, ee me often, half frozen, drown and hardly able to realize what had ha ned. I found the ship’s crew had heard the stew- ard’s cry and lowered a boat, picked him up found out who was his companion, an started for me. A stray moonbéam struggled out from behind the clouds, and the keen. eyed boat steerer had caught a glimpse of my head as I sank insensible beneath the waves and had plunged intothe water and caught me by the hair. -When we reached the ship the mate gave us dry clothes, as our own were already appro- priated by our shipmates, although I after- ward recovered most of mine. Next day the Captain came on board, and we were placed in irons. The steward was putin the empty potato locker, while the Captain turned to me and shouted: ‘*Youlong ghost, take your bedand get down into the blubber tab under the main I stared there till we were out to seaagain. l wassupposedto be livingon hard tack and water, butasthe steerage boy climbed over the casks and kept me supplied with fruit, I had no fault to findand con- sidered I got off easily. : About this time there was an awful row over the food every day in the forecastle, and one of the crew named Henry and myself took advantage ofitto playa peice a joke oh the cook, who was a green Portuguese we had shipped at Fayal in place of a deserter. there was a big clumsy Dutchman among the crew, and we told him the best way to fix the cook was to wait until the following morning; when we all went in line to the lit- tie square window in the cook’s house, where each man presented his pan and received his ‘*‘whack’’ or allowance, of hard tack, soaked in salt water, mixed witha little grease and warmed up, which goes by the euphonious title of ‘‘lob scouse.’’ It was arranged that when Hans presented his pan and received his allowance he should throw the contents in the cook’s face. ‘*By dunder, I doesit,’’ said Hans stoutly. Later in the day the idea possessed me that the joke might be improved upon, sol qui- etly informed the cook of Hans’ friendly in- tentions and the next morning the finale 4/7 ‘) j / ij V hii | bf} /, UW / J / UY V 4, R so ‘*‘WE HELD ON TO THE OVERTURNED BOAT.’ they are very easily alarmed by any noise of oars. The mate paid more attention to watching for the ‘‘fish’’ "as he called them than to the sailing of the boat, and I expected to find myself swimming for life every time we rose on a sea. Il Was told to stand up and see if I could see the whales on account of my great height,and I was perched onthe thwart with one arm around the mast, when tbe boat gave a fear- ful lurch and ‘‘jibed’’ over, and] found my- selfinthe water with the sail holding me under, I was dressed in thick clothing and heavy boots, and had I not been accustomed tothe water from boyhood must inevitably have been smothered, but I swam under water until clear of the sail, and then tried to reach the boat, which was floating off tu leeward bottom up, and the rest of the crew clinging to her as best they could. 1 succeed- ed finally in reaching her, but we were re- peatedly washed off by the huge seas. To add to our discomfort a heavy squali hap- pened along just then, the cold rain falling in torrents and ‘the wind roaring as if anxious to destroy us. Wecould not ses ten yards in any direction, and it was notuntlil an hour or more that the squall lifted suffi- ciently forthe other boats to find us and re- lease us from what would soon have Deen certain death. All this time the mate sat astride one end of the boat venting his feelings in a stream of protanity, which included every on2, even to the builders of the ship, and was only inter- rupted by some huge sea which would sweep him off to leeward, whereupon he would coolly swim back and resume his seat and profanity simultaneously. During the squall the whales had disap- eared and when we finally reached the ship t was blowing so hard that we had to double reef our topsails and finally heave to. The gale increased in violence until it blew a per- fect hurritane*and for four days and nights we were at the mercy of the elements. The Triton was bulit of solid material and was originally intended for the Arctic whal.- ing greund. Althovghuglyto lookatand a dull sailer she was an excellent sea boat. The seas were the largestlever saw inmy long experience, but we rode out the gale with trifling damage. After cruising unsuccess- fully for whales for sometime we laid our course again for Fayal,where We were to ship men and fresh provisions. On Sept. 20 we met the bark Atlantic of New Bedford and ‘‘gammed’’ her. I cannot give my readers the origin of this word, but it means to visiteach other, exchange reading matter, swap jackknives, sing, dance and tell improDable stories of our adventures. ‘the Captain takes a boat’screwand goes on board the other vessel, while the mate of that ship take#@a crew of his men and the same boat and goes to the first-named craft. Then the two ships jog along near each other, sometimes fortwo or three days, until the captains get tired of each other or feel that they have no more time to spare. The crew ofthe Atlantic had seen whales the day before, ana when we parted it was in the hope that we might soon ‘‘strike oil.’’ Our first mate, who was fullof superstitious notions, made us grease the ‘‘try pots,’’ as the huge boilers are called where the oil is bolled out, in hopesthat it would bring us luck. Whether there was any virtue in this performance or not, certain it is thet the next Sunday we killed three small whales which made forty-six barrels. As we were short-han@ed, the Captain’s boat did not lowerandiam unable to give the details, which, however, were dulland uneventful. At last, on Nov, 20, we sighted Fayal, and beat up between the islands, intending to ship our oil home. The Captain’s boat was lowered, andl took my b cage with the rest, and pulled him to the rude stone pier, which isthe only means of landing. We were not allowed to get out, but told toreturpn to the ship at once, leaving Uapt. Keys on shore, Four days we laid ‘‘offandon’’ rather than anchor, and in the meantime we shipped several natives and one ‘*beach-contber,’’ or runaway sailor, an Lrishman, and a Native of New Jersey, and witbout any exception: the most ubnblvshing, monumental Mar with whom I have ever been associated. But more of him anon, CHAPTER Ill. I TAKE A SWIM, About this time I discovered the real length of the voyage, and in addition to this I re. ceived letters from home which gave me a severe fit of homesickness, so I determined to run away at the first opportunity. I soon found that the stewart was similarly dis. posed, and one dark night as the vessel was within what weconsidered about a mile of the rocks, we quietly dropped over the bow and swam forthe beach. The steward had tied an Ollskin bag about his neck and filled it with our little trinkets with which we hoped bribe some one to hide us. I may as well as one of the legs of my oliskin breeches. Everything promised success, but somehow the shore seemed to retreat as fastas we ad- vanced, and, as my companion found bimself unable to untte the knot with which he had fastened his precious bag to his neck, he be- came exhausted and began to shout lustily for help. I was determined to ssenpe, sol Panky vay out vigorously and soon left him far nd. I swam until I y. tor ! chilled and my limbs moved pai was November, and the water was even fy. that latitude. penny | divested my- if, plece by piece, of my clothing. yegan to despair, and ri in my ears and - - . My Then I Hans arrived in his turn at the window, re- ceived his *‘scouse,’’ and attempted to or na- ment the’cook’s head with the same, when to his surprise the cook rushed out of the galley witha hugecluband dealt him such a blow over the head that he fell on deck, whereupon the cook would certainly nave killed him had not some ofus disarmed him. This cured me of practical jokes for a long time to come. After leaving Fayal we headed tor Cape de Verde Islands,and Dec. 3 we were in the trade winds. Animmense school of blackfish was sighted, and we killed thirteen. It was tame work forthe old hands, but we green-horns enjoyed it imimensely. The oilk is -used to burn inthe ship’s lamps. It is a dirty oil, witha vile stench, but good enough fora whalertohave. One would naturally sup- pose we could burn the best of sperm oil, but onthe same principie that the shoemaker wears ragged shoes, so a whaler burns -the poorest oil. Having reachedthe port of Brava in the Cape de Verdes, we shipped a new boat Steerer, two sailors, anda boy. We also took on board potatoes, oranges, bananas, melons and other fruit, also two pigs. On Dec. 21 we raised a large school of sperm whales and gave chase, but our unlucky star seemed to be in the ascendancy, for our boat steerer missed the whale, the second mate fastened to a fine large bull, but aloose whale became entengledin the line and parted it, and the third mate’s harpoon tore out, and he also came back empty handed. The first mate Killed our only prize. For the next two days we were busy cuttingin our whale and trying out. Vhen the whale is brought alongside the shipastrong chain is passed about the **small,’’ which is the part of the animal be- tween its body and the fan-like tall, or ** Tattood all the Crew,’* ‘*fiukes.’’ This chain is carried in through the hawse pipes (where the anchor. chains run out when in port), and is fastened se- curely on deck. ‘the head of the whale is then cut off. and before it is entirely severed a Chain is fastened to it, so it will not sink when free from the earcass. When separated it is allowed to sink out of the way until the body is .disposed of. The body is then stripped of its blubber inthe same way one would peelam apple, by the use of two tackles and huge hooks. A et some four feet wide is started and one of the hooks in- serted; then the crew heave steadily on the Windlass and slowly roll the body over, while the officers stand on a temporary platform, rigged out fromthe ship’s side, and cut the strip clear from the whale with long- handled spades ground keen asarazor. When all the biubber is on board the carcass is examined for ambergris by running a spade through the intestines in every direction. Ambergris, as many doubtless know, is the result of indi- testion in a whale, and is a hard substance which forms internally, ultimately caus- ing death to his ‘‘whaleship.’’ Its pres- ence is readily detected by the means men- tioned. If nothing of the kind is found the body is allowed to drift off, while myriads uf sharks and birds of various Kinds speedily devour it. The head ofa sperm whale is one-third the entire length of his body, ana often yields fully as much oil as the rest of the whale. It is cut into wedge-shaped pleces along a line running from just above the mouth back to the top of the head. The upper piece where the two spout holes are located. contains a §& or ‘‘case’’ filied with pure spermaceti, which is simply batied out with a bucket. I have seen fifteen barre!s taken rom one case. The Case is then aban- ned as useless. The remiaining half of the head is called the **junk,’* and is composed of alternate layers of b, olly fat and a : which ts called rs are carefully ‘Overboard ahd + When the the pieces allo tic ; of ‘*trying ours on *tr on deck ad the next six to sleep, night and day. until the oil is disposed of, and as every person on board 1s paid only his share of the net proceeds of the voyage, all hands work witha wiil, For the benefit of the, curious I will say that the Captain’s ‘‘lay’”’ or share is usually from ten to fffteen--that is, he gets one barrel out of every ten or fifteen the ship brings or sends home. From this the lay is graduated tothe boat steerers, Who getthe seventy- fifth lay. And then comes an awful gap. The salior gets one barrel inili75~and the green hands the 200th lay! Afew figures will show how rich one of the latter gets when, aftera four-years’ voyage, the ship comes home with perhaps 2,000 barrels of oil. He usually starts in with a debt of at least $150 for board and outfit, and when to thisis added the clothes, shoes, hats, tobacco, etc., which he has fromthe ‘‘slop Cchest’’ during the voy- age, is it any wonder he is almost invariably in debt to the owner when he returns, and glad to get trusted right over again atthe same exorbitant prices? If Lleft any anxiety as to the bill of fare on Dec. 2 it was speedily dissipated. No one would ever have known it was Christmas Day, and we took our ‘‘lob scouse’’ and **swankey’’ as usual. Perhaps our daily dinners may bea warn- ing to some would-be sailor, so I willappend &@ list of them: . ' Monday—Pea soup. Tuesday—Bean soup. Wed nesday—Pea soup. Thursday—'** Duff.’* Friday—Pea soup. Saturday—Boiled rice. Sunday—‘‘Duff.’’ Sailors don’t call things by their right names, but Il could never see why pea soup was always **do@’s body’’ and bolied rice **strike me blind.’’ Our breakfast and supper were always the Same. Salt beefone day and salt pork the next, and even here the old tar perverts salt beef into ‘‘horse.’’ Every sallor has seen some old ‘‘shell back’’ sitting on his chest with a big beef bone in his hand, repeating: Old horse, old horse, What brought you here From wecenee To Portiand Pier? You're killed by kicks And sore abuse, And salted down For sailors’ use. After our whale was safely stowed below a long period of inaction followed. We shaped our course for the Cape of Good Hope, for we were destined for New Zealand, where we would make our headquarters, . It was while making this trf{pI had my first serious trouble with a shipmate, and my pro- pensity for fun was the direct cause. One of the Portuguese we had shipped at brava was a large, powerful Man, witha name as long as a topsail yard, which the “MHate very sum- marily curtailed to Enos, yhad been ona short cruise on a Whaler before, and spoke only a few words of English, The new clothes with which he was furnishé@d were too pre- cious to wear, so he patched his old rags till Joseph’s coat would. have been unnoticed on comparison. One pafnof breeches in particu- lar was the delightot the wholecrew. It was literally covered with litte patches about an inch square. One day ashe Rartea to ascend the forecastle stairs l remarked to one of the men sitting near me: **Enos’ breeches look just like a checker- board.’’ tie must either have misunderstood me, or else his knowledge of our language didn’t extend to checker-boards, fer he understood me to say that I would find a chance to *‘‘chuck ’em overboard;’’ so down he came with fire inhiseye, and in a minute there was the liveliest kind of a. fight in progress. Science is of no avail in a forecastle, with the floor all saturated with greage and the chests leaving only a passage way. Anything is fair—kick, bite or scratch—and too often a knife finally and seriously enters into such affairs. On this occasion we were pulled apart by the rest, and the mistake was ex- plained, but we never Décame very friendly ate both carried some ugly bruises for some me, f+ tats, Tae? . : Z* Mm 2 * ~f = tage> “ ba ; : : » ’ , ; ¢ fe rien i os .

Mr. Sinclairand myself agree that to commence amovement against hem now would bring on the mischief we are so anxious to avoid. ***If Mr. Hart thinks best,’ said Sinclair, in whispered tones, ‘we will put that thug Sulu in irons at once; itis his watch on the lower deck to-night. But if we commence, we would hardly know where to stop; they out- nuinber us three to one.’ They were both anxious to hear my decision. ** *Forewarned, asI am,’ I replied, ‘have no fear for me Captain. I shall be pre- pene to give the first blow instead of receiy- n s” ** ‘Now, thatisa pretty heavy load of re- sponsibility; Lintend toshare it, Mr. Hart,’ said the Captain, and after a few moments of silence, in which our minds and thoughts were at full tension—Sinclair’s, no doubt, on the loss of his vessel and cargo, wife and daughter, and the accumulated wealth of thirty years of civil service; Capt. Grahame on his chances of life ana the fate of his ship; myself on my first, last and only iove—Bessie! The Captain addressed me again: ‘**Whenit gets dark, Mr. Hart, you wear my white helmet and I will wear your straw hat; we’ll change coats, too; we are pretty much the same build.

The success and prosperity ofthe Ohio 8o- ciety of New York is ample proof of the great wealth and intelligence of the Buckeye State, but' after all it is better to travel through the great State and observe her countless avenues of wealth, from her beautiful and well kempt farms to her statesmen, -from her cabbages to her natural gas. You understand it better. . The Middle States have one peculiarity that they are beginning almost to wish they did not have, although it was startéd out to bea charm. Charms, however, when neglected, become at times nuisances, We were visiting Lima not long since, a thrifty town with all the spap and vigorofa new gold camp in the West, yet with the shrewd and cool headed business tact ofa Cape Codtown. She has this characteristic, however, to which I have.darkly alluded. It isa publicsquare. The public square was of course intended to be on the start a thing of beauty, but it hasin too many ofthe Middle State towns become an open airlivery stable, covered with the choice decorations of a badly farmed farm. The square is of course geographically in the center of the town. and is distinctly vis. ible from every direction. Theidea is a good one, but when it becomes the grazing ground of the moth-eaten horse and the home of the watermelon rind, the spring of the year adds no beauties to it, and Taxpayer and Ver- itas write pieces about it. Itisalsoin many cases a hay and wood market. Here the man in the blue army overcoat (he has never been in the army or he would not be wearing it) meets the man in At the Bank. the buffalo overcoat, and they borrow to- bacco of each other, chew some of it, spit eight times, water their stock and go home. People come to the editor and say: ‘*That square is getting to bea blamed nuisance. Go forit.’’ Then the editor says in his paper, provided the man who made the suggestion has paid for his ad- vertising promptly: **We regret greatly to see our beautiful public square insucha neglected condition. Will not s6me one move in the matter? It is asin and a shame, and asa matter of fact, it is high time to calla halt.’’ Lima has about the earliest electric car line in America. Itis a double trolly system, and the cars are getting old and childish. rolling stock is to be renewed Very soon. The electric street cars of Lima are sadly out of repair, asisaid. They have the odor of a cheap lodging-house on the Bowery, as mearly as I can recall it now. They are sliiabby in the extreine. Also in the middle. Next Lent I shall abstain from the use of these cars. Lima is one of the thrifty and prosperous cities of Ohio, and is also the home of the Lima bean. In Cincinnati the other day we tried to buy a New York draft. Thefirst four banks were just out of New York drafts, and the fifth one had just been plagiarized by a *‘gentleman with a cough” who downed the bank for some $27.35, I believe, and so it did not feel like selling New York exchange to ‘‘stran- gers.’’ The bank had just offered a reward of 75 cents for the arrest and apprehension of the fend who had ‘‘didit up’’ in that bold way. It seems that some months agoa man from Chattanooga came in ‘‘with a cough’’ and presented a draft for payment. It was pretty large, and the cashier looked suspiciously at the owner of the paper, but he kept his hand up to his mouth with that steady. dry, hack- ing cough which they say carried him off pretty.soon. Something did, anyhow. Pos- sibly it was the cars. When the draft was sent on for payment to the bank on which it was drawn it was dis- covered, alas!too late! that the man with the cough was oneof those practical engi- neers who can put a pair of jackscrews under a $10 draft and raise it to any required denom- ination while you wait. * He had a preparation of pulp and a power- ful press, which he filled up the $ mark gen- # ili , "ha .

Gov. McKinley is an ideal statesman in appearance and bearing. His headis well- shaped, his carriage is dignified and easy and his manner comfortable and refined. Gen- tleness and repose constitute thetwo great primary elements of the gentleman, and Gov. McKinley has these. The true gentleman does not like to make anybody feel uncomfortable. The prig does.

If I mistake these bosses are usually the chairmen central committees and such like. They are blamed for party defeat if they are inactive and cussed for bossism if they rush the machinery, The party boss and the cow are a good dealalike. When a man s out to pall his faithful bovine he pats her above the short ribs and patronizingly ca her ‘‘boss,’’ but when she rises up and fies he gets exceedingly angry and gives beating. He shows called her. boss she is Now if We coula our political bossesit seems to meit would bea grandand giorious thing. The trouble ig we soar too much and do too Httle.

Aboutthis time the judges were found to be snoring loudly.
