[Be'Held in London To-Morrow—Salis- bury “Visits the Queen at Windsor— Current British Topics. Lorpon, May 7.—Lord Salisbury’s speech to the Primrose League is the political sensation of the hour. ‘He openly counsels the Ulster Orangemen to fight for their ascendency against any Irish Parliament that may be set over them, and says that if they do fight any attempt to use the BSHritish army to put them down will cause a.civil war in England. Such iapguaage from the Prime Minister is striking proof of the condition of desperation to which the coercionists are reduced. The resistance of Ulster is their last card. "They have been beaten in argument and at the polls and de- pend on the Ulster Orangemen tomake home rule impossible. | The Liberul leaders believe that Lord Salis- bury’s incitements to, violence will cause bloodshed in Ulster, but they are more con- vinced thanever that English opinion will repudiate the cowardly intent of the Tories to dupe the hot-headed Orangemen into in- curring risks, which they themselves will not share. Lora Salisbury’s speech is flat treason, and ifthe days of impeachment had not passed he could be brought to book for it. Glad- stone is indignant at it, and it is probable on Monday attention will be called to it in Par- liament. His Loraship bad many weeks in which to premeditate his speech as Grand Master of the Primrose League, and Lord Salisbury never gays anything that is not carefully premed- fitated. Both Liberals and Tories acknowl- edge that the Premier uttered carefully chosen sentences, intended to out- line the future as _ well b to de- fine the past. Lord Salisbury leaves no doubt that, if the Liberals could carry the general election, and passa home rule measurc in the House of Commons, the House of Lords Will throW out the bill and de- mand another appeal to the country on the ground thathe electors had not been made aware of the scope and meaning of the meas- ure. He also gives it tobe uncerstood that the House of Lords wil] remain firm in this position, and will. look to the Conserva- tivesand Libeaal-Uniontsts for support and sympathy. If the House of Lords should be sustained by the Crown .and the minority of the House of Commons,then there would have to be another general election or a dead- lock. The trisis would be serious, not for Ireland alone, but for Great Britain, and it should be remembered that in the event ofany disturbance, the army and navy are both officered by Conservatives. should matters go peacefully, however, another general election would be held, and the home rule bill accepted or rejected. Ifaccepted by the election of anothir Liberal majority, then the bill would presumably be passed, and next would come, according to Lord Salisbury’s programme, the Ulster rebellion. That is, in order to acliieve home rule, its supporters must carry the coming general election, then get a home-rule bill through the House of Com- mons, then carry another general election, passthe home-rule bill finally and be pre- pared to deal with a rebellion in the Province of Ulster. Some of the Liberal leaders. as well as Irish members are inclincdto think that toraisea debate on the speech would be to give it un- G@ue importance and probably aid the object Salisbury had in view. On the other hand it is felt that should i blood- shed follow in Ireland, ‘in conse- wence of Salisbury’s words the - Liberals ould ie in a much stronger position in deal- ing with the Orangemen if they now give will be sharply dealt with. The Liberal leaders are to meet in council on Monday to decide upon their line of ac- tion. The Pall Mali Gazette to-night boldly speaks of fa)'sbury as an Anarchist. Salisbury started for Windsor to-night to Visit the Queen until Monday. He may possi- bly determine the date Of the dissolution, Be- fore starting he formally signed at the for- eign office with Minister Lincoln the ratifica- tion of the modus vivendi in the Behring: Sea. GRACED BY ROYALTY. THE INTERNATIONAL HORTICULTURAL EXHIBI- TION OPENED BY THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT. Loxrpown, May 7.—There was opened to-day at Eariscourt, West Brompton, by the Duke of Connaught an International horti- cultural exhibition which promises to be as successful as the other exhibitions that ‘have been held there. The main building is 1,20 feet long and a large fountain has been erected in the cen- ‘ter. Electric arc lights extend the entire length of the building, and at night this The grounds are not yet wholly completed, but before the end of the month they will be very lovely. Outside of the buliding a ter- face garden is represented, and a gigantic Canvass shows'in perspective the long walk Mard by is the repro- Guction ofa Japanese garden, with temple @nd tea houses, and one of the principal attractions of this part of the garden will be Indian téa garden, in whichthe visitor, rseeing the tea leaves growing onthe living plant, may in an adjoining house wit- ness the manner in which the leaves are goade marketable, and then finish up by drinking the beverage itself.

Also to this end a series of daily lectures and practical demonstrations will take place in special halls. Flower fetes are also in the general programme and it ts arranged that any net profits may be devoted to such gar- dening institutions as the committee may se- lect. This exhibition, which is the frst of the .kind given in London since 1886, is under the management of Henry Milner, the eminent landscape gardener. The special exhibition, will be six in num- ber. They beginatthe end of May witha two days’ grand show of flowering and foli- age plants, cut fowers, fruits and vegetables. The July show (also of two days) will be for roses antl later frufts, that of August (three days) will produce carnations, picotees and competing vegetable products raised by cottagers and artisans. In September arrives the autumn flower, show of hardile fruits for professional grow ers and amateurs is fixed for the early par of October, and the season closes witha chrysanthemum show andthe collection of evergreen trees and shrubs. To-day a dejuner at which 400 guests were present was given. Among the number were the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, the Earl and Countess of Erroll, the Rt. Rev. Frederick Temple, Bishop of London; the Most Rev. William Vaughan, Catholic Archbishop of Westminster; Sir Charles Tupper the Canadian high com- missioner to England; Major Post, Military Attache of the American legation,and Mrs. Post, .Lieut.

Lonpown, May 7.—One American undertak ing, which has found the road to financia success, in Londonmuch more rocky and wearisome to travel then any highway in ' Montana isthe Sapphire & Ruby Co. of that State. This property, which was mentioned in cables two years ago and again more recently, has been more discussed than any American. company outside of the Emma mine, the Harney Peak and the Erie Rall- road. It has shared the usual ups and downs, doubts and investigations, and has finally reached the limited company state. Streeter, the London jeweler, who went to Montana a perfect doubting Thomas, came back enthusiastic and joined the Board of directors. The opposition first offered by Kuntz, the gem expert ot Tiffany’s, was modified by his previously published ap. proval of the property. When the company was bought out six |months and a half agothe sum of 225,000 pounds. was underwritten. The public did not manage to get 20 per cent of the subscrip- tion. Over 40 per cent of the underwriting was voluntarily paid up, though not without delay. Those who did not pay took up and still maintain an extraordinary position in regard to. their responsibilities. They claimed that as they had made a contract for 15 per cent commission on underwriting, that: Ib per cent was due from the promoter, Mr. Oviatt, upon their underwriting being accepted by the board of the company and that any fallure to pay up their underwriting was the board and themselves, entirely beyond the question of commission. In other words, that Oviatt must pay them their commission, though they had‘not paid the board of the company. This contention Oviatt and the other dl- rectors vigorously resfsted. This produceda in the business. After several weeks’ negotiation the owners of the propert/ came to England, looked over the situation and: decided to subscribe enough to enable the board to complete the purchase and take over the property. This was done by one o the owners putting up $300,000 In cash. The property. was finally transferred a little overa week ago. The shares of the company at once advanced to par in the open market. Now comes the last chapters in the early his- tory of thiscompany. The promoters are all to receive their checks this week, and Frank Crisp, the cleverest company lawyer in Lon- don; will begin suits against all the under- writers who have not paid up. It will be next autumn however before any results as to the gems can be known. AMERICANS IN LONDON. LADIES TO BE PRESENTED AT DRAWING-ROOMS —AN ARTIST’ S SUCCESS. Lorpow, May 7.—Society newspapers are complaining bitterly because Minister Lin- coln has already booked twenty-one Amert- can ladies for presentation at the drawing- rooms’ this season. Tenofthem will De pre- sented at the first drawing-room on 16th inst. ; the other eleven at the second drawing- room. Their names have not yet been dl- vyulged, but one newspaper sheers to-day because one lady is the wife of a Chicago hotel-keeper. This refers of course to Mrs, Potter Palmer, but it is by no means certain she will be among the ladies presented. Another sore point among Britishers jnst now is that Americans have already secured alithe important shootings in Scotiand for next autumn, Ross Winans is being sued by the trustees of Sir James Mackenzie, from whom he rents an immense deer forest in Inverness, foral- lowing his Keepers to drive 900 red deer off the grounds-in an unsportsmaniike fashion. Winans contends he did it because his estate if overstocked with deer. The case, which is exciting great interest in the North of Scot- land, comes on in Edinburg next month, Hetry Mosier’s two pictures ane attracting attention at the Royal Academy. To have. two pictures accepted the firsttime his work was submitted is a great compiiment to the American artist. ; f The first picture, ‘The Last Moments,’* rep- resents a carefully drawn group of figures watching the death of thelr grandfather, while two medical men are in the Dack- ground, The other picture, ®‘The Broken Sabot,’’ represents a Frenchpeasant girl regarding with distress an accident to one of her sabots. Both paintings show the breadth and careful treatment which are winning Mosler an abundance of praise. the ——— t NEW YORK PILLORIED. RUDYARD HAS NOT YET CEASED FROM KIP- LING. Lonpox, May 7.—Rudyard Kipling sends a newspaper his final impressions of New York City. He says: ‘*The more I studied it the more grotesquely bad in its sanitary arrangements. No t I talked to has approached the man- agemé.t of New York ina proper spirit, re- garding “as the shiftiess outcome of squalid a reckless extravagance. No to do s0, because refiections cast long, narrow pig trough are construed as malevolent attacks against the spirit and majesty of the great American people and lead to angry comparisons. Yet if all the streets of London were permanently torn up andallthelamps were taken down, this would not prevent the New York streets, : cousins : a.matter between, — za a remy shore or Ein to | the approaches of a Kafr kraal. One of these days, you are told, everything will be taken in hand- and put straight, and the wutvirtuous rulers of the city will be swept away by a cyclone of popular indignation. Everybody will unanimously elect the right man, who will justly earn the enormous salaries at present paid to inadequate aliens. At the fame time, the lawlessness ingrained by the Governors among the governed during forty years of ‘brutal laxity of public conscience in regard to public duty, the toughening and sapping of public morals, the reckless disregard for human life bred by im- potent laws anq fostered by familiarity with needless accidents and criminal neglect, will miraculously disappear. In a heathen land three things are supposed to be the pillars of a moderately decent govern- ment. They are: Regard for human life, justice, civiland criminal, and good roads. Yet in this Christian city they think lightly of the first—their - own papers, their own speech and their own actions prove it. They buy and sell the second at a certain price, openly and without shame, and are apparently content to do without the third. The blame of their city evils is not altogether with the ‘gentlemen, chiefly of foreign extraction, who control the city. These find the people madeto their hand,a lawless breed, ready to wink at one evasion of the law if they may profit by ancther, and in their rare hours of leisure content to smile over the details of a clever fraud. ‘*‘The cultured American says, ‘Give us time. We shall improve.’ The otherwise American, who is aggressive, straightway proceeds to thrust a piece of half- hanged municipal botchwork under the nose of the lion as a. sample of perfected effort. There is nothing more delightful than to sit for a strictly limited time with a child who tells you what _he means to be when a man. But when the same chifd—loud-voiced, insistent and un- blushingly eager for praise, but as thin- skinned as the most morbid hobbiedehoy— stands about all your ways, telling you the same story; in the same voice, you begin to yearn for somebody fin- ished—say Egypt, and a comipletely dead mummy. It is neither seemly nor safe to hint that the Government of the largestcity in the United States is a despotism ofthe alien, by the alien, for the alien, tempered with occa- sional insurrections of decent folk.’’ BISHOP OF WESTMINSTER. THE COMING INSTALLATION OF DR. VAUGHAN— LONDON TOPICS. LONDON, May 7.—The installment of Dr. Vaughan asthe new Bishop of Westminster Diocese occurs to-morrow and the ceremony promises to be most imposing. To begin with, there will be 300 delegates representing every district in Great Britain, there will be fourteen prelates and all the dignitaries the Church can command inEngiand. The act of thronization will be pronounced by Mgr. Tilbert on Tuesday and Dr. Vaughan will then hold a reception for his Episcopal brethren and next month the Bishop will receive a Cardinajship. The mayoralty seems to be going a begging this year, notwithstanding its dignity and its title. Both Alderman Gray and Cowan have declined the honor, but probably Sir William Farner may accept it, and failing him, Alder- man Vaughan Morgan, Treasurer of Christ’s Hospital. Buffalo Bill's “Wild.

OUTGROWTH OF THE PROPOSED BURNAY PORT WINE SALE, LONDON, May 7.—The Burnay port wine le cabled aweek agois excitingdally a large share of attention. The first sale is now fixed for May 24 at the Wool Ex- change. The intrusion «of financiers doing business has. greatly exasperated the wool shippers and the trade which even in ordinary times is opposed to the fluctua- tion asthe method ofselling wine. Why so it is difficult to say, as all the tea that reaches London is sold by auction. No sooner did the trade learn ofthe opera- tions of Burnay than they immediately dis- patched buyers to every London house deal- ing in port and filled every possible order, so that the usual wholesale buyer should furnish no customers for Burnay. Asacounter blast to this Messrs. South- ward, who havethe sale in hand, have ad- vertisedit from St. Petersburg to San Fran- cisco and from Constantinople to Paris in the hope that the immensity of the sale will at- tract buyers who have never before appeared ata London wine auction. Itisaninteresting duel of trade interests and may possibly mark the beginningof a new era in the wine trade of London. PLAYS AND PLAYERS. ATTRACTIONS OF LONDON’S PLACES OF AMUSE- MENT—VIENNA EXHIBITION. Lonpow, May 7.—Sir Willlam Young, son of the late Sir Charles Young, has proved that he bas inherited a portion of his father’s gifts by.the production Thursday at a mati- nee of the Lyceum Theater ofa four-act play entitled ‘‘An American Bride.’’ This play was written jointly by Sir William Young and Mr. Maurice Noel. The play has well in- vented scenes and live characters. The ac- tion passes partly in America. : Unless some unforeseen incident intervenes to prevent Sarah Bernhardt will open atthe Shaftsbury Theater in ‘‘Cleopatra’’ on May 23. , Among the operas that Sir Augustus Harris will produce during the coming season, h begins May 16, is Mr. Theodore D. Tare’ ‘*Lights of Asia.’’ This work, it wilT be recalled, wason the point of being produced at the close of last season. 7 QUEEN MAB. THE NEW FLEET YACHT JUST LAUNCHED AT GLASGOW. LONDON, May 7.—Qeeen Mab, forty tons, the largest center board ever built in En- giand, was launched at Glasgow this week. She was designed by Watson and she is not so deep as the Volunteer for her tonnage and is very much cut away forward. The center board case is under the cabin floor and does not interfere with the cabin ac- commodation. The center board is lifted by a steel wire rope attached to a small winch just aft of the cabin companion. It is expected Queen Mab will be ready to race against the German Emporer’s yacht, which Americans will remember as the Thistle, next August. If Queen Mab is the success it is expected, the Clyde yachtsmen entertain a hope ofa match belng made for herin America next summer. Queen Mab Was specially built for Thomas West of Chaddleworth Hall, Berkshire. . _ EDWIN O'BRIEN DEAD. ee uemeeeed THE INVINCIBLE HAD BUT A 6HORT LEASE or DUBLIN, May 7.—Eawin O’Brien, known as one of the Irish Invincibles, is dead.

VIENNA, May 7.—Every day gives some new indication that Russia # preparing to cross the frontier. There ig @ continuous move- ment of troops to the West, and the calling out of the successive categories of re- serves in the interior hascommenced. These reserves will be forwarded to various points of concentration, whemce they can in the easiest manner re-enforce the regulars in the Polish garrisons on the Austrian and German frontiers. The naval tramsport prepara- tions are nearly completed. Ad- vices from Russian Poland state that the ofm- cers of the reserve are @ally receiving sealed orders to be opened Only upon further in- structions, these orders being intended for a case of sudden mobilization. There can be no doubt that every possitle measure is be- ing taken to prepare tu seize the first advan- tage incase of a declaration of war. Accord- ing to an official statement there are now 130.000 troops quartered in Russian Poland. There are not wanting statesmen, however, who regard this magsing of troops by Russia along.the borders as a purely defensive movement, 7 They call attention to the fact that the great plain of Poland is separated fromthe main body of the Russian Empire by the marshes. Only of late years has Russia, with great difficulty, succeeded in driving a poor and feeble line of railway across region. With the exception gf that very in. secure connection, all communications be- tween Russia and Poland, from north to south, are severed by a practically—for troops—impassable G@istrict. Austria to the south, Prussia to the north, have it, under ordinary conditions, within their power to sever the lines of connection, such as they are. Itis only natural, therefore, that Rus- sia should have been for many years devot- ing herself to enlarging the facilities which will enable her to cy tentrate-troops in the néighborhood of RG ©, in order to stop alLattem pts °n the Paxhpr APEeiato occupy the relatively narrow district which sepa- rates Galicia from the Pinsk Marsh region to the east of Poland, and that she should have been increasing her garrisoninthe district represented by the great fortresses Brzest- Litewsku, Warsaw, Ivangorod, Novo-Gior- giewski, by which sheretains her possession of Poland, ' For sometime it wasa favorite theory among certain politicians that Russia had no longer anything to fear fromthe national aspirations ofthe Poles. It was assumed that, by interesting the peasants inher rule by agrarian concessions, Russia had broken the strength of the national feeling. But recent events has completely dispelled this illusion. So nothing, according tothis view, is more probable than that Russia’s concentration of troops ih this part of her empire is a purely precautionary measure and in no sensea movement of aggression threatening the peace of Europe. According to advices received at Cracow from Warsaw, the constant movement of troops in Russian Poland continues to excite considerable comment there. Latterly military transport trains have been passing through the city almost nightly and the men have been Dbilleted on the inhabitants in the. surrounding districts. CABMEN ON A STRIKE. ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE NOW INCONVENIENC:- ING ALL VIENNA. VIENNA, May 7.—The determination ofthe Vienna cabmen and coachmen to strike and leave the city without conveyances: during the musical and theatrical exhibitionis an- other move in the semi-personal war be- tween Count Kielmannséegg, Statthalter of Lower Austria,and the Cab Drivers’ Assoacia- tion. As Count Kielmannsegg is one of the chief promoters of the exhibition, the strike is a direct blow athimasweliasan effort to take advantage of this opportunity to compel the abolition of the reduced tariff im- posed upon them at hisinstance. The quar- rel that is threatening to upset partially the financial success of the exhibition is a serious one. It started in a dispute betveen the statthalter and a cabmanm over fare. The cabman did not recognize the Count when the latter engaged him, and at the end of the drive protested profanely against accepting the exact stipulated fare.. Count Kielmannsegg,: who is a man of pedantic justice, although celebrated for his generosity to the poor,refused to increase the fare and ascendedthe steps of the nouse at which he was to call, whilethe cabman fol- lowed cursing dnd swearing and threaten. ing to raise the nelghborhood unless the Count settled, During Count Kielmansegg’s call re was an uproar on the step and he Yan out to find the cabman and the butler in afight, the cabman st‘ll shouting that he would have his extra fare if he jhau to follow the Count for a year. The Count ‘then re- vealed his identity, and the cabman tried to sneak away, but a policeman seized him and locked him up, Qount Kielmannsegg at- tended the police court and secured the con- viction of the cabman. The next day he gave orders that the whole cab system Of Vienna must be re- formed, that all, overcharges must be se- verely punished, and special authority should be granted to policemen to enforce these regulations, Overcharges for long trips in the new districts of greater Vienna were also cut down. The cabmen protested, but Count Kielmannsegg Was irreconcilable, and so the cabmen have declared war. CUBAN MERCHANTS. PROTESTS AGAINST THE ACTION OF THE SPAN- 1sH GOVERNMENT. Havana, Cuba, May 7.—A very important meeting of the merehants of Havana has been held to consider the arbitrary manner which the Government at Madrid ig con- ducted by the imposing of taxes upon the industries of this island, and objecting been e, dey’ ‘ Dee le *¢ > “ 3 png - a7 MF ae, ae. + ‘ . ss Ae ee eae, es 6a edo % fe ee ae at ~ eee} this marshy: will prevent the new tariff from going in effect, From all parts of Ouba, Senators and Deputies have been elected and sent to the Cortes at Madrid to the num- ber of thirty of that only three deputies were present at the last meeting of the Cortes to consider the in- terest of thé island, The absence of all the others has greatly surprised the people here, who are unable to account for such conduct, which will prevent their being sent again when another election take place, | The present state of anxiety regarding the future welfare of this splendid island is datly causing people to refrain from enterifig upon new enterprises. The island is being flooded with Spanish silver, nearly every steamer from Spain bringing quantities which is forced uponthe market in the place of gold, which has become so scarce as to still further lessen the value ofthe paper dollar, which is now.only 89 cents in .gold, and to make matters worse it is reported that the Spanish Bank of Havana refuses to receive tne old Spanish silver coin. If this proves to be true there will be no end to the trouble emanating to such a. course. What with increasing taxes upon an already overburdened people and country, the’ ab- sence of asound currency will make every- thing *‘black as night.’’ Our merchants are greaitly exercised at seeing a disposition to put pbstacles in the way of the admission of the products of Cuba into the ports of Spain. W iille Cuba receives the merchandise of the mother country unincumbered by onerous duties and expenses, the home government is busy placing tnese upon the products of the island imported into Spain, consequently there is growing upa very unpleasant feel- ing. A necent cable says that the Queen Regent has signed the new tariff, which greatly in- creases the heavy tax on sugar, tobacco and other industries, The sugar-house and still of the central Esperanza were recently burned. There has been quite an ac- tive lemand for sugar for shipment to Spain during the past week in anticipation of the going into effect of the new budget, which increases the duties on sugars and other products of Cuba and Porto Rico. These two rich islands appear to be the inexhaustible gold mines whence uritold treasures are expected. Buyers of sugar forthé United States are waiting to prevent such a catastrophe, may have been useless and the consequences be very seriousin causing the ruin of ,the larger part of these who have struggle to ae themselves against such great Si. Already alarge’number of our splendid cigar factories have been compelled to curtall thetr business andthe distress among the people isin¢reasing every day,a large number of factories being idle and without hope for the future. Fires amongthe cane fields are of daily occurrence, causing the loss of . 100,000,000 pounds of standing cane during the past fortnight. This fall will see shipments to Spain cease,when they hope to olitain lower prices; but in view of the im- mense loss of cane by fire and the near ap- proaich of the rainy season, when grinding will have to stop, there is every prospect of prices hardening instead of growing cheaper. Shipments of the present crop to date foot up7l boxes, 8.443 hogsheads and 1,187,859 sacks from Matanzas and Havana and .the ‘stock in warehouses at Havana April 27, 549,926 sacks and at Matanzas 513,185 sacks, A brisk fire at No. 6. Catie . Neptuno in the ‘silk trimming store La Filosofia, caused the death of three young men, who were sleepingin a small room over the store, the fire blocking the stairway d the windows being barred with heavy irdm, in great agony. ° The present crop of pine apples is the largest ever gathered in Cuba; 100,000 barrels, containing an average of seventy-five pines, were shipped during the month of April. A small quantity have gone to New Orleans, all the others -to New York. Estimated value of cne shipment $500,000. A generous shower terminated a long and severe drouth extending over the greater part of Cuba has brightened things generally, cleaning cur dusty streets, and will save the growing crops of fruits and vegetables. A DEFECTIVE THE COPYRIGHT ACT WORKS INJUSTICE TO CANADIAN AUTHORS, OTTAWA, Ontario, May 7.—The attention of Parliameht is especially directed to remedy- ing the defects in the copyright law, In a discussion of the matter, Mr. Edgar said that in 1889 an act was passed containing many changes which were considered advantageous, Three years had now elapsea and-yet the law was not in operation, True, there was a provision in the statute that it should not come into force until aftera proclamation by the Governor Generalincouncil. ‘The statute was not dis- allowed at the time, therefore it could not now be constitutionally disaliowed. He asked the leader of the House why the statute had not been placed in force. Noone had spoken more strongly on the act than Sir John Thompson himself. The Government had ‘been pressed from the reforms of the House toward the end of the last session and had introduced and had passed an address-to the ‘crown asking the Imperial Government to take the necessary steps to have the statute proclaimed and alsoto condemn the result of the Berne convention on copyright, so as to liberate Canada if possible. Things having gone so far he wanted Sir John Thompson to show courage and bring éhe act intooperetion. They knew that under the law a Canadian publisher could not re- print: an English copyright atall, but that an American publisher could. The American copyright act which came into force last year was most injurious to Canadian authors. Now English authors can copyright in the United States, but Canadian publishers can- not reprint at all, hence Cahadians were worse offthan ever, as the Canadian’ pub- ‘lisher cannot obtain any of these works. There was an evident feeling in the press contrary to the decision of the Minister of Justice against American citizens taking out copyright here. He could not understand the cause Of the difference. If an American came here and complied with the Canadian laws as a Canadian does in the United States he ought to be able todo what he desired. If he came here and was domiciled here his work could be printed in this country the same as a Canadian’s book coul@in the United States. It was a little curious that in order to publish here a book must be both printed and published here. In England this was not necessary. 3 sir John Thompson said that it was incum- bent on Canada to insert in the statute a clause submitting the puttingof the act in force to the Imperial authorities.

CANAL TOLLS. : TORONTO, Ontario, May 7.—The repeated action of the United States Government with. regard to imposing tolls on Canadian vessels coming through the Sault Ste.{Marie Canal Is being discussed among. vessel ‘men here. Generally the embargo will not affect the. Canadian vessel interests. The chief sufferer will be the Canadian Pacific Railway Oo., whose vessels do the main trade in bringing down Manitoba and Northwestern a. | Vessel owners here think if the Unitea States Government carry out their intention and tax vessels coming through the Sault Ste.

AN INCIDENT SHOWING PEIXOTO’S SLENDER HOLD ON POWER. RIO JANEIRO, May 7.—Day before yesterday there was a demonstration in honor of Gen. Floriana Peixoto, and yesterday friends of Gen. Fonseca, who had just returned from Petropolis, where he had gone to convalesce, resolved to havea demonstration in celebra- tion of his supposed recovery. Accordingly at6p. m. they began to assembie, and a little after 7 they set out for the Sua da Sena- dor Verguero, where Gen. Fonseca resides, a great number of persons taking part in the demonstration. On arriving at their desti- nation, however, they found the General too ill to receive them, but several speeches said to have been very violent were made to them from windows of the house. It is reported that the speakers even told the crowd that Peixoto was not the President; that the real President was Fonseca, and urged them to go to the Itimarita Palace and **@xpel the usurper.’’ On their return the crowd stopped at police headquarters, where they cheered Fonseca and: groaned for Peixoto. They then went to the barracks of the Seventh battalion of infantry, which, it is said, willjointhem, It appears that their cheers were answered, butthat all the sol- diers remained in their barracks. They then went to the Combate newspaper office, where | the greater portion of the crowd dispersed. The rest went to Campo da Acclamaraco and were met by a battalion of soldiers, who stopped them and took Congressman Bar- rio, from Rio Grande doSul, putting him un- der arrest. It issaid that the officers of the troops were about to do him an injury when Gen. Flori- ano Peixoto interceded on his behalf, at the same time upbraiding him for his conduct. He Was sent on board a vessel of war with Dr. Seabra, who had also been arrested. An- other Congressman, -Dr. Fonseco Hermes, Fonseca’s nephew, was likewise placed un- der arrest, and many other arrests were made, including that of Pardal Mallet, editor of the Combate. Gen. Peixoto has issued adecree declaring martial law. ° Yesterday the steamer Pernambuco left this port carrying twenty-five persons accused of sedition, who were banished by the Govern- mentto San Joaquin and Tabinita, in the Gistant tate of Amazonas. The official papers say that the imprison- ment of newspaper men is consistent with the Government’s promise to respect the press, since these people have been thus treated noton account of what they have written but for having engaged in overt acts of conspiracy and sedition. MODEL:‘MONARCH. YOUNG ABBAS OF EGYPT TAKES COUNSEL OF HIS MOTHER. Catro, May 7.—Young Khedive Abbas 1s proving a model monarch. He largely con- sults his mother, the beautifuland intelligent Emineh, and has, it is said, promisea her that he will take only one wife, as his father Tewfk did. He is, however, in no hurry to get married. Abbas has ordered that no more eunuchs shall be procured for the palace, as he wishes to discourage this form of servitudé. The eunuchs already in the palace can remain, however, as Jong as they live, and _ desire to remain. Abbas is very much opposed to slavery, and has expressed a wish to aid in its suppression, especially on the Red Sea, where the worst form of Arab slave trade flourishes. Hehas admonished the officers of hisarmy to be vigilant in preventing the trafic, and has promised to reward those who are most successful. In all matters he is under the influence of his mother, who is known among the European residents of Cairo as the ‘‘Chaste Cleopatra of Modern Egypt.’’ Abbas has no touch of haughtiness in him, and is amiable, dilligent and devoted to his dities. ’ He speaks English, French and German with equal fluency, the latter witha decided Viennese accent. He tis rather short, but not stout. Only his face is full and round and fresh, but his delicate complexion, which he inherits from his mother, gives a peculiar charm to his youthful features. He is dark and looks like an Oriental, but not a Turk, as his traits are rather Circassian, there being Circass!an blood in the family of his father. His name he has from his great-grandfather, the Viceroy Abbas Pasha, grandson of Mehemet All. SPAIN’S YOUNG KING, LIKE HIS FATHER HE I8 DEVELOPING A TEN- DENCY TO EPILEPSY. Maprip, May 7.—The young King of Spain Is developing a tendency to fits. He has already had several fits ofan epileptic character, and his . mother, Queen Christina; shows the greatest anxiety about him. The little King will be 6 years old on the i7th inst., and it is intended to celebrate his birthday with more than usual display. He has not been allowed so far to enter upon serious studies,.as the Queen mother thinks that it is better for his brainahd body to be well strengthened before he begins to learn rudiments, His father, the late King Alfonso XII.,was subject to epilepsy, and the same trouble sepms to be developing in the U ANARCHIST INCENDIARIES, -_---- THE LOCAL PREFECTURE DESTROYED AT THE CITY OF TROYES.

THEY HAVE DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE FLOWERY KINGDOM. —~ At the Signal Every Chinaman Will Leave America—Extract From an Editorial in Their San Francisco Paper—Protest Entered by the Chinese Minister Against thé New Law-The Local Situation. : PHILADELPHIA, May 7.—A movement was recently begun to cause the return of all the Chinese in the United States to China in con sequence of the exclusion bill. This week a conference of the Chinese of Pennsylvania, Maryland and several other neighboring States was held in thiscityand attended by hundreds of the more igfiuential Celestials. Delegates attended from ny cities, but all the doings are kepta profound secret. The convention adjourned yesterday. Meetings also have been held in Baltimore, but the fact leaked out and was published inthe Baltimore papers. Thereupon Gong Hol, the Baltimore magnate, who isalso the Grand Master of the Chinese Masons, issued an edict, transferring the meetings to Philadelphia. The main subjects discussed were the articles publis in the Mung Gee,the Chinese weekly published in San Francisco py War Kee, the editor, in which are detailed the public meet- ings which have been held in China, public attention being called to the one addressed by the Emperér himself. The article con- cludes as follows: ‘*Our country hasat last awakened to the fact that its children and their paternal and ancestral gods have been unduly imposed upon. Why does not our motherland do like- wise tothe unbelieving American race? But the time is coming when our rights must be respected. Thé father has as- serted his willingness to listen to the appeal of his children, and when we have all done our duty properly the edict will go forth prohibiting relations of ang kind between China and the United States. American capital will be driven from our native lands, ships will not be allowed to land in our ports, and tn fact we will erect another wall in a commercial sense. But then theseare pro-* visions which must-be abided by us. If we ask our home government to-enforce these restrictions, it is made imperative upon every Chinaman to return to his native land. If. any one has not the means, proper trans- portation will be provided for him, and be it well understood by all, in case this action is taken by our government and we acquiesce in all its provisions, he who disregards the orderto leave the country crtminates him- self in the eyes of the _ all-seeing . ministry, and will in case he treads the flowery walks later in life, do so at the risk of losing his.head.

Another Effort Will Be Made to Bring Out Blaine. FAILING IN THIS THEY WILL TAKE UP. SENATOR SHERMAN. Pennsylvania and New York Will Be Pledged to Any Republican to Defeat Harrison’s Nomination at Chicago— Anthony. “‘the Iceberg oi the West,’’ Is Still Uncertain—Porter Feeling for the Indiana Governorship— Politics. WasHINGTON, D. C., May 7.—Thomas C. Platt arrived in Washington this morning, ‘and spent almost the entire day at the Ar with leading Much sig- conference Republicans, lington in anti-Harrison nificance was attached to hig visit, inasmuch as it was generally under- stood that he and Senator Quay were to meet, and discuss plans for uniting on some candicate to defeat the President’s nomination. Senator Quay was in consulta- tion with Mr. Platt in his room for several bours. Later in the day ex-Senator Blair, Duffield of Detroit, Gen. Alger’s friend, Senator Washburne, ,Senator Cameron and Representative Boutelle called upon Mr. Piatt. ‘Although it was admitted by Senator Hiscock, who was also of the party, that the presidential ques- tion bad been more or less discussed, he de- clined to state what, if any, plan had been urged. All of those present were equally reticent as to details. Mr. Platt himself was uncommunicative. He would not admit tothe Sunpar Post-Dis- PATON correspondent that anything like a conference had been held. ‘‘A few of my Republican friends called upon me,’’ he said, **ana it is only natural I think that we should Griftinto general talk on the presidential question.’’ Further that this he deciined to ray what had occurred at the meeting. Mr. Platt, however, was more communicative to friends. While he would not state just what arrangement was desired between him- self and Senator Quay, he gave out several strong hints, One of these was that within the next four or five days, while he was attendinga meeting of the East Tennessee Coal & Iron Uo. at Nashville, certain Senators would wait upon Secretary Blaine and make a strong ef- forttoinduce him to allow his name to be presented to the Minneapolis convention. If Mr. Blaine sbopld refuse then it is said that John Sherman will be asked to become a can- didate. While senator Sherman, too, has deciared | his unwillingness to again enter theffield, it is_ thought that if the support or Pennsylvania and New York should be assured him, he would reconsider his resolution. Secretary Blaine’s health during the past two months hasimproved greatly. He rides outalmostevery Guy. This change in _ his condition has reawakened the old Biaine en- thusiasm and bas given encouragement to the opponents of the President. It is the hope of the Anti-Harrison people that Quay and Platt may succeed in inducing either Mr. Riatne or Mr. Sherman to oppose the Presi- dent’s nomination. Several rumors were current this afternoon to the effect that Mr, Platt bad called at the White House and hada conference with the President. Immediately it was conjectured that Mr. Piatt was preparing to make terms with the Administration. These reports hat- urally created general surprise, but Mr. Piatt, promptly set all doubt at rest on this score by denying that he bad been near the White House. Another conference, it is understood, wiil be hela on Mr. Platt’s return, when some definite plans will in all likelihood be consid- ered. In the meantime the pressure wil! be brought to bear “frst upon Secre- tary Blaine and then upon Sfena- tor ‘Sherman. — the result these interviews will depend” the future plans of the anti-Harrison forces. Senator Hiscock said to-night that he had noau- thority to speak fof Mr. Platt or anyone else, Dut that he should go to Minneapolis and support Mr. Hartson Inasmuch as Mr. cloge friend of Mr. Hiscock is a Platt his statementhas servedto provoke ‘much speculation as what this indicates. The New York delegation was uninstructed, . and Mr. Piatt has sail thatitis not for Mr. dined with and, Senator Hiscock and Ipft for Nashville at a late hour to-night. This visitaf Mr. Piatt, with the speculation to which it has given rise, assures the *r-elings of the Presi- dent’s friends toan unusual‘degree. Speak- ing on the subject to-might one of them said: ‘*This effort on the part of certain men, claiming to be friends of Mr. Blaine, to have his solemn assurance on the subject of the presidential nomination go for nothing is an affront to the Secretary of State. Mr. Blaine has put himself on record as dls- tinctively, and I believe as sincerely, as any one possibly could. He considered that his duty to the Presideft ended there, and taken at his word his duty properly did end there. But if the serious effort is made to induce the country to believe that Mr. Blaine isnot a man of his word I take it that in order to properly rebuke these people Mr. Biaine from being a possible uantitr in the contest, will become one of the President’s most active supporters. The relations between the President and r. Elaine are cordial,and there is not the slight- est und for the assumption on anyb ’s rt that Mr. Blaine could be brought to for- ard any Opposition to the President, or that he desires to see the President rejected at Minneapolis in the the interest of any leader in the Republican party.’’ al 9, tO DOminate a candidate for Con- gress. GOING TO EUROPE. ATCHISON, Kan., May %7.—Ex-Senator J. J.

Se Ford Smith Tells Why He Broke With Mr. Filley. JOHN B, O’MEARA ON NOONAN AND THE IRISH VOTE. — An Unflattering Estimate That Angered the Mayor—The Former Agent of the Republican Boss Says He Resented Dictation—Representative Martin Crit- cises the Minneapois Delegates. Nothing can equal in strangeness the rupture between Mayor Noonan and John B. O’ Meara except the estrangement between Chauncy I. Filley and Ford Smith. The fight between O’Meara andthe Mayor hasnow got tobe inthe open, instead of from ambascade. The Mayor’s declaration that his friends must not vote for the contractor when his name is presented for Lieutenant- Governor inthe convention may result in keeping away from Jefferson Citya number of good Democratic delegates who are trying to stay on good terms with bothmen. The Mayor is said to have heard statements of O’Meara’s about him that have made him implacable in his enmity towards the quarryman. The Mayor has never trusted him implicitly at best. O’Meara was for George Allen at the beginning of the last mayoralty campaign, and came out for Noonan only under pressure. Then, in the midst of the campaign, When the exactions of a saloon canvass caused the Mayor to disappear tem- porarily from view, O’ Meara wavered again, and was only held in line by W. H. Swift. It ig openly stated among politicians that the Mayor’s monetary obligation to O’Meara was the cause of the intimacy between the two, which has led to His Honor’s partiality for the contractor in matters of city work. The Mayor’s friends say that O’Meara a yearago concluded that Noonan was dead politically, and began to knife him. One man has told Noonan one thing the con- tractor has gaid about him, and another has added to it. The contractor gave toone city employe a confidential ex- planation of his opinion of the Mayor. ‘*Nooban’s getting drunk and carrying on the way he has been doing didn’t hurt him much with the Irish» Catholic vote,’’ said O’Meara, ‘‘till the Kenrick “jubi- lee,. Then his going on the stage in that con- dition and making that speech settled him with men who didn’t care asnap forthe other things. Anybody who will go out among the voters in North St. Louls will be sur- prised to hear of the feeling against Noonan on account of that speech. He can’t be fre- nominated.’’ This opinion made its way within a few days to the Mayor, and it is said to have cut Noonan tothe quick. It was only,one of many that.came to his Honor’s ear, and the breach between the two was inevitable. FILLEY’S FAITHFUL ACHATES. Ford Smith has for years employed his time in trumpeting for Filley on the street cor- ners in and out of season, and among Repub- licans the connection Detween the two was known to be soclose that when the lawyer opened his mouth straightway everybody re- peated what he saidas a direct communica: tion from the bosson Beaumont street. He was sought eagerly, listened to with defer- ence and quoted solemnly. It was Ford Smith who vbrought about the nomination of Dr, J. H. McLean for (Congress by enlisting Filley in his sup- port. Hie was the man, it has always been thought, who arranged the delicate little details of the money -transac- tion between the bossand the pill-maker, so that both of the principals might be able to say virtuously that they had never exchanged a*word about money. They say ft was Ford Smith who first sug- gested to Mr. Filley that Thomas J. Prosser was a/bird with great quantities of golden feathers that he wanted to moult, and got the railroad manthe honor of being beaten by Seth Cobb two years azo. They say that it was Ford Smith, too, who selected, by Inspiration, another pill-maker }to run for Congress ip the Eighth District. This ‘was . Frank Sterritt. They say, that Mr. Sterritt first learned: through Mr. Smith how much his campaign was going to cost, a discovery that made him drop the nomination into the hands of Charley Joy. Mr. Filley elected John Henry Pohlman Sheriff three years ago, and got him to appoint Ford Smith his attorney. Then George Bain out of ‘the Republican Central Committee and holding it at Filley’s orders, The two were known to be bound together by a knowledge of each other’s secrets, and a keen appreciation of each. other’s shrewd- ness. Nobody would have believed a quarrel to be possible. MR. SMITH LEAVES FILLEY. At the beginning of this last campaign in the city it was noticed that Ford Smith’s name was never mehtioned by the fighting factions of Republicans. It was reported that the two had fallen out, but the story was scouted. It was said also about the same time that John Mc- Fall had abandoned Filley; that Thomas C, Martin hadleft him; that Henry Pohlman would have nothing more todo with him; even that Charley Schweickrardt had given him up. Aji these later were set down as having the purpose to divide the sil—~ stockings who admireu Filgey’s organizing gefilus and des- ised the mén who did his work. But a few days ago a Republican stopped Mr. Smith on Chestnut street and asked him point piank: **Who is Filley supporting for Mayor, Wal- bridge?’’ ‘*Dol carry Filley in my pocket?’’ snarled Mr. Smith. **You know pretty well what he thinks.’’ **Dol?’’ drawled Mr, Smith, stroking his ayish sidewhiskers. ‘*‘Well, I don’t. I aven’t been in Filley’s house or spoken to him for years.’’ The Republican went off puzzled, and he met John McFall a little whileafter. ‘‘Is it true that Filley and Ford Smith. have broken?’’ he asked. *‘*Yes,’” said McFall, **Ford’s out of it.’’ **What’s the niatter?’’ ‘*Why,’’ said McFall, after he had sworn the other man to secrecy, ‘‘I heard that Ford went up to Filley’s house with Prosser one nightand Filley wanted him to- do ee: Ildidn’t know What it was, but Ford said he’d be d—— ifhe would. Fil- ley gets pretty excited sometimes, and he saidto Ford, ‘D—— you, you’ve got to do it. You are paid for doing it. Ford got up and put on his hat, and went out and lett Filley and Prosser together. I don’t believe they've everseen each other since.’’ FILLEY DELIGHTS HIM NOT. Mr. Smith sat in his office yesterday with his legs coiled around each other when a re- porter asked him if he had deserted Filley. **I shut the door of Mr. Filley’s house from the gutside some time ago,’’ he returned, ‘‘and I’ve never had any desire to close it from the inside since.’’ *‘*What was the trouble?’* _ ae. ee One 8 eee Oe etnias tellit. He bas said and done things tor a long timel didn’t like, and at last things came toaconsummation I had_ been look- ing forward to with pleasure for many a year.’ **Was it an attempt at dictation?’’ **Well, 1’m an independent sort of a man,’’ said Mr. Smith, ‘‘and I wear DO man’s collar. Nobody can teil me what I shall do and what I shall not do.’’ Mr. Smith was then asked if the Prosser story wastrue. ‘‘No, it isn't,’’ he said. want that denied because I wasn’tin Pros- ser’s district, and I. didn’t care Who they put up for Congress there.’’ r. Smith was asked concerning the stories about Henry Pohiman and Thomas Martin. He uncrossed his iegs and began to comb his ‘whiskers meditatively with a paper Knife he took from thetabi6. ‘*You see then,’’ he said, ‘‘l’m out of polities. Politics delight me not, or Filley either.’’ with a chuckle, 7 the lawyer returned the favor by. putting |. wo ~~ * " + iia aus a nds F n> 4 ‘ ‘ _ eh feng = ‘ eee Sek eet 5 SS eh eo, we B - ' . _ 4 - iF mes, * Sad tc wo ag M ; Ns ~— . m é Lae ; - é * € - te . *"* t te ae Oe Ps Ga teat Pr atc Sie é a ae eh Pe os : aw f * 3 i Geen wef Pm, ; | oe be Oe a. x ae SE eee oe , - vam, WHE, ray ‘ , Oe ee Ags ag aS *% i, .

A Plan To Have All World’s Fair Visi- tors Come to St. Louis. The Transportation Committee of the St. Louis Autumnal Festivities Association is now working on a plan which, when fully ma- tured and put into execution, will redound to the tremendous advantage of St. Louis and the ‘‘festival series’’ of three years’ duration arranged to include the period of the World’s Fair display in Chicago. The plan is one which interferes in no way with the promised unqualified success of the World’s Fair, and which yet offers to all visitors to that international exhibtion an opportunity to seé, without . additional cost, another American city in all the glory of spectacular festivities unequaled in beauty and complete- ness. A conference to be held shortly be- tween the Autumnal Festivities Tramsporta- tion Committee’ and the Passenger A ts’ Association of United States Rallways Will, it is confidentiy expected, witness -the definite completion of the project in question, THE FESTIVITIES ASSOCIATION’S PLANS, The plan is one which; beginning with the Chicago preliminary display, opening ‘Oct. 12, 1892, is expected:.to reach its culmination during the World’s Fair season proper of 1893. Itisin briefa well-organized effort to secure to all visitors to Chicago at those the privilege, guaranteed on railway tickets, of coming Louis without extra -charge transportation. This rivilege is sought to be secured for World’s Fair vis- itors either en route to Chicago or returning from that city after having “‘done’’ the World’s Fair. Itis expected to be conceded by all railroads carrying visitors to the Chicago internationakdisplay, and theargu- ments in its favor to be advanced before the Rallway Passenger Agents’ Association are most conclusive from a practical business standpoint, as wilkbe shown in the further course of this articie. In addition to this **stop-over’’ privilege, however, the Autum- nal Festivities Transportation Committee ts also engaged in another movement on similar lines which is at least equally important. This movement !3to secure from railroads during the pragress the Autumnal Festivi- ties in St. Louis andthe World’s Fair displays in-Chicago, both tn the present preliminary ear and tn 1893, the same local railroad rate rom Chicago to St. Louls and return as will be made from S&t. Louis to Chicago and return. This special rate can be asked by St. Louis in all fairness, as this city, in its autumnal displays of 1892 and 189%, will offer to visitors a series of magnificent spectacles, which in their own line will equal anything to be seen at the World’s Fair, and yet offer hw competition to that splendid project. The true spiritof the st. Louls enterprise is that as stated, of making possibile, during the next two years, the advantage to the hundreds of thousands of travelers who will visit the World’s Fair at Chicago, of witness. ing ina sister city asuccession of gorgeous holiday pageants ana illuminations fully as attractive as the World’s Fair itself, without additional cost, and thereby offering an in- ducement to travel which is bound to resuit to the advantage and profit of all railways entering into the place.

THE BRIGGS CASE. - The Presbyterian General Assembly to | Take It Up Next Week. JMPORTANT ISSUES TO COME BEFORE ; THAT BODY. _ The Westminster Confession and Its Re- vision—What Is Thought of the Work ofthe Revising Committee—The Rela- tions of Union Seminary to the Church ~Dr. Niccolls Explains the Questions. PORTLAND, Ore., May 7.—The General As- sembly of the Presbyterian Church fn the United States will hold tts 104th annual meet- ing im the First Church of this city, beginning May 19. This city was not selected as the place of meeting without some demur, but after some details were settled and the trans- tion problem satfsfactorily met, the ction of the committee was generally ac- ulesced in anda large attendance is xpected. | ef among the questions to be discussed { are the revision of the Westminster Confes-: sion of Faith andthe position of Dr. Briges and the Union Theologica! Seminary in New ork. There are many who think that the port of the Révision Com mittee, admirable hough it is, and prepared though it has been by some of the ablest scholars ard elders of ‘the church, including Dr. Green and ent Patton of Princeton, Dr. Herrick ohnson of McCormick, Dr. E. D. Morris of 6, Dr. Matthew B. Riddle of Allegheny, Dr. Willis J. Beecher of Auburn, Dr. William Alexander of San Francisco, Dr. W. C.. Rob- erts, formerly of Lake Forest University ;- Dr. - E. Moore of Columbus, O.; Dr. R. R. Booth of New York; Dr. 8. J. Niccolls of St. \Louls, and Dr. Henry J. Van Dyke of Brook- lyn, will not satisfy the great body of Presby- terianism. The result is too radical for the ' Oonservatives, and too conservative for the dicals, and as the greater number of the ministers and elders are now, after the long Gebate on the question, in one of these.two Classes, it is difficult, they say, to preparea revision creed which will satisry them. THE DOCTRINE OF PRETERITION. The great argument against the report of the committee, as now presented, fs that the doctrine of preterition, the ‘‘passing by’’ of a certain number by the decree of God, has mot been dropped altogether. In fact, the new section on preterition is considered by some to be strongerthan the one originally presented, although this clause is added'to prevent undue criticism: ‘‘Yet hath He no pleasure in the death of the wicked, nor is it His decree but the wickedness of their own Jhearts which restraineth and hindereth them from accepting the free offer of His grace made inthe Gospel.’’ The section re- lating tothe death of infantsis materially changed, the new version reading: ‘*Infants dying in intancy and-all other persons not guilty of actual transgres- sion, areincludedin the election of grace, and are regenerated and saved by Christ through the Spirit, who worketh when and where and how He pleaseth; so, alsoare all other elect persons whoare not outwardly Called by the ministry of the Word.’’ é It is understood that there will be dissent expressed by some membersof the com- mittee to various sections,1. e., each man will sign the report, those,who approve it ent re without any comment, the others ada- ding, ‘‘Idissent tothe changes made in chapter ——, section ——.’’ Besides the new chapters, twenty-six sections in eighteen hapters have been changed, andthree sec- tions have been stricken out,two in the third chapter and one in the seventh, THE NEW CREED DESIRED. The creed desired by many is one which will in some respects resemble the one outlined by Dr. Henry Van Dyke of New York City. ‘When discussing this matter in his Presby- tery he said that those whom he represented wanted a new statement of essential doc- trines for four reasons: **Because it will be simpler.

ONLY TWO OF THOSE PRESENT VOTE AGAINST THE PLEDGE. The State Chairman Now Assured of 45 of the 56 City Votes—Warner Meets the Republican State Executive Com- mittee—Recorder Carlisle to Decide the Twenty-fifth Ward Contest Monday. The St. Louis delegates to the Democratic Convention at Sedalia jJast night caucused and decided to gotothe convention pledged to vote for Charles C. Maffitt as delegate-at- large from Missouri tothe National Conven- tion. The caucus was called yesterday at the Southern Hotel by means of notes sent to each of the delegates elect to the Sedalia con- ventionat the primaries: Of the fifty-six del- egates thirty-seven came tothe caucus, and for a while the ~»parilor floor of the hotel looked as if a Democratic convention were in session there. Many Democrats heard of the caucus; and under- standing that there was to be no secrecy about it, came tothe meeting, although they were not delegates. They were all admitted. Among those present who have been most prominent in the recent campaign in the city were John O. Wilkinson, the Chairman of the anti-Noonan-Dalton Committee; Ed Devoy, Clarence L. Hoblitzelle, Phil Rohan, W. L. Johnson, Col. David H. Caruth, Justice Patrick Sheehan, Thad C. Harris and Dr. Frank J. Lutz. Mr. Mafmiitt was in the caucus and made aspeech. So did Chairman Wilkinson and Dr. Lutz. Dr. Lutz put the object of the caucus before the delegates. He saidthat as the convention was so near at har.4 it hfid been thought best for the Se- dalla delegation to go to the convention pre- pared to act unitedly. Then a resolution was introduced stating that it was the judg- ment of, the -caucus that the 8t. Louis delegation should concentrate tts vote upon Mr. Mafiitt for delegate atlarge. The resolu- tion was adopted by a vote of 35 of the37 pres. ent. Thetwowho did not vote for it ex- plained that they were for Maffitt, but did not wantto join in.the pledge because it would bring onthem disagreeable pressure from the minority side. The explanation was taken as one in good faith. Central Committeeman Hollitzelle said after the caucus: ‘‘Of those nineteen who staid away we count nearly a dozen who are Mafitt men. They had good reasons for their absence. They are business men, grocery- men and others, with whom Saturday night | is too busy atimetoletthem get away. We are perfectly satisfied now withthe outlook for Mafitt.’’ Ed Devoy, who was stanGcing by, adaed: ‘*The caucus give us information that Mafitt will get forty-fve of the fifty-six votes in the onty."° ' Opposed to Filley. The Executive Committee cfthe new Re- publican State Committee met yesterday in this city Vice-Chairman John T. Blake of Kansas City presided and the others present were Maj. J. L. Bittenger of St.’ Joseph, T. B. Tuttle of Carthage, and Henry Ziegenhein of St. Louls. Maj. Willlam Warner, the Re- publican candidate for Governor, dropped in and was cordially received. He said that he was ready to open his canvass at any time, The committee discussed plans for thecam- paign: . By resolution of the General Com- mittee the Executive Committee will select and assign speakers forthe various appoint- ments. Mr. L. M. Hall, formerly secretary of the State Republican League, was elected secre- tary of the Executive Committee. He ac- cepted. Mr. Hall has trained with the Silks and his selection is a knock-out for the Filley arty. Asa Silk he wasturned down by the ‘illeyites, who controlled the Stato League Convention at Sedalia last February. Mr. Hall says that he is‘a Republican but no fac- tionist, and he promised to’ give all the necessary time tothe work of the campaign. : Not Settled Yet. From 8 o’clock yesterday afternoon until after 6 last evening Recorder of. Voters Cariisle satasa mediator between two Very, very warlike fdctions of the Twenty-fifth Ward Democracy. Touse the expression of one of ‘‘the push’’ representatives, nothing was done beyond ‘‘rag chewin.’’ In the hope that the push ‘and anti-push judges of the northern district of the ward might be induced to sign returns of some kind Recorder Carlisle called the conference. It was at the northern precinct, it will be remembered, that the judges signed separate returns. The Noonan-Dalton judge wanted to allow twelve disputed ballots and the other judge objected. According to the Noonan-Dalton returns all of their dele- gates were elected with the tion of James Weston for dalia Convention, and Dr. Cc. Atkinson to the Jefferson City convention. Committeeman Fox’s {judges admitted that both of these delegates were elected. The conference was openedina side room in Mr. COarlisle’s office, at 8 o’clock and for a time everything passed off quietly. Then Paul H. Bierman, P.J. McMahon and Matt Ryan, Jr., repre- senting the Noonan-Dalton side, got excited. They setuptheciaim that Walter Graham, the anti-Noonan-Dalton judge, went outofr the polling place at 8 o’clock to find out what. vote had been polled in the are distrig¢t. Mr. Bierman claimed he did this to know how to manipulate the returns in the northern district. A long acri- monious discussion followed, in which Dr. R. C.At Kkinson, representing the ‘‘anti-push,’’ anc FP. Hf. Lierman figured con- spicuously. After hearing the —— nents, Recorder Oarlisle said 8 would take the matter under advisement untll Monday. ‘‘And when I decideit,’’ he continued, ‘‘I willissue the certificates ac- cordingly, and if there is any further contest you can goupto Sedalia before the Commit- tee on Credentials and fight it out.’’ People’s Party. The Organizing Committee appointed at the conference of labor organizations, held at Central Turner Hallon April 2, are quietly at work organizing the wards inthe city, and from present indications it is believed that the labor organizations of St. Louis will come out solidly for the People’s party... The forty- eight unions affiliated with the Trades and Labor Assembly, as well, also, as all the local assemblies of the Knights of Labor, are en- thusiastic forthe third party. To further the organizing of the city the committee of the People’s party will meet at room 506, Fagin Bullding, next Monday evening. Mr. M. V. Carroll, Chairman of the State Central Committee of the People’s party, writes as follows to a locai committeeman: Good progress is being made in the rural portions ofthe State, and the genefal outlook is glorious. Some very good work has been done in Kansas City and Sereasela, and this office is flooded with let- ters of inquiry from all parts of the State. Half rates are already secured on the Missouri Pacific, M,, K. &@T. and Kansas City, Ft. Scott & Mewphis roads for our State Convention at Sedalia, and applications are pending with the others. The plan published by oar State Central Committee for raising campaign funds is meeting much encourage- ment. Our greatest difficulty will he the want of funds to thoroughly work the State.

THE BOARD CAN PROCEED WITH THE INVESTIGATION, &. The Court Does Not Say, However, That the Ballot Boxes Can Be Opened—Com- ment on the Opinion—What President Bartholdt Has to Say About the In- vestigation. Judge Klein dented yesterday the writ of pro- hibition which John W.O’Connell sought in or- der to prevent the School Board from investi- gating the legality of his election as a direc- tor. The opinion embraces twenty-three pages of close type-written matter. It sets forth the well-known proceeilings of the School Board in the matter, including a reference to the opinion of Mr. C. B. Stark, counselor for the board; who dented the right of the board toinvestigate the contest, because the board rules were in conflict, he alleged, with sec, 9, art. 8 of the State Constitution. Notwithstanding Mr. Stark’s opinion the board under its rules, went ahead with the inguiry, appointing acommlttee, etc., until stopped by O’Connell applying for a writ of prohibition. Judge Klein admits that the constitutional provision, which makes courts of law the tribunals for the _ trial of contested elections, would govern this case, but for other considerations. But the constitution does not vest the power inthe case of the School Board to determine who is elected in anyone or require the General Assembly to vest it in anyone other than the body that previously possessed the power. By the act of Feb. 13, 1833, the power to judge of the qualifications and elec- tions of its members, is expressly conferred onthe School Board,~and the prevision of Sec. 60f the Drabelle act @eclares that the provisions’of the act of 1833 shall not be con- strued as affecting the existing right of the board to determine the election and qualification of its members. The court states it does not seem to be contended in this case that art. 8 sec. 9of the constitu- tion in any manner interferes with these powers of the board, and the plaintiff him self claims his-office by virtue of and under the same. It may be regarded, therefore, as conceded and as justly conceded that the right and power of the school Board to con- duct the elections of its Own members and to judge ofand determine the qualifications of its members. * NOT AN ELECTION CONTEST. Judge Klein then asks Whether thisisan ‘‘election contest’’ within the meaning of the constitutional provision relied upon by the plaintiff. The Supreme Court has decided that an election contest ‘‘relatea only to statutory contests, in which the contestant seeks not only to oust the intruder, but to have himself inducted into office.’’ Judge Klein holds, under this definition, that the investigation of the School Board is not im the nature of ‘‘an election contest,’’- but an inguiry by the board asto the qualifications of one of its members, which the board, the court holds, has a right to do under the law. The proceedings of the School Board are ronounced regulareven to the service on Mr. O’Connell. It willbe remembered that Mr. O’Connell could not be found and a no- tice was served ona member of his ‘family. Judge Klein decides thatthe board has the right to decide as to what is prorer service. ‘*It Yollows,’’ concludes the opinion, ‘‘from the foregoing consi‘ierations and conclusions that the peremptory writ of prohibition prayed for must be denied at plaintiff’s costs and it ig so ordered. a A number of persons interested in S@hool Board matters, including some of the resent in court when the t was : ° shea tm ttee “well. versed. in School ' cer Schoppe > ‘a » % di he 3% *s 4. .) plete el a Se : at Jem , Deere ae ual ae « xt - te os contests of elections will do, but under the ing, the sash factory of Jenkins &Co., at Board matters: ‘‘O’Connell’s attorney Is sharp enough to know what todo.

They can investigate all they like, but if they can’topen the ballot boxes, the investiga- tion won’t amount to anythinge ‘I don’t wish tohavemy name, however, connected gith the dirty matter.’ re PRESIDENT BARTHOLDT SEEN. ‘ President Bartholdt of the School Board was seen last evening at the entertainment given by the Gravois School at Concordia Turner Hall, Thirteenth and _— Arsenal streets. He was asked to give his estimate of Judge Klein’s decision, ‘*] believe the decision is good law. Judge Klein isan able jurist, and he has devoted much study tothe questions involved in this contest. The decision will certainly hold water. Ido not know what the committee on rules, and by. power ofthe decision of Judge Klein, they can uow go on. do not Know what the committee will do, forIamnota member. At the time of the tem- porary injunction against further action in the O’Connell contest, they asked my advice in regard to the Brady contest. I said that it would bein poortaste to do anything until Judge Klein rendered a decision in the O’UCon- nell case.

The two parties to this controversy are still the same as when it first began. On ‘' one side are those who see in poverty only the print of the iron heel, and in one man’s immense wealth the cause or ex- planation of a hundred men’s poverty, the accumulations of hard-hearted greed, in- justice and oppression. On the other side are those who can see nothing in a pro- digious fortune but the reward of merit, proof of personal superiority, in poverty nothing but | proof of personal inferiority, self- indulgence, indolence or: a weakness the abject condition unalterably imposed by a wise providence upon the mass of mankind to makethem more humble and more useful. Each side, therefore, in- dulges in hobby riding and unsound gen- shreds and patches of truth in the web it weaves, the most important truths bearing upon the question are discarded by both. Any generalization that condemns a man for his wealth or his poverty or that estimates his merits or deserts by any such false standard is unjust, and the difference of conditions in this country is largely in- dependent of either statutes or personal excellence. The social system which con- tinually widens this difference and dooms great masses of good and deserving people to extreme dependence and want while it enables some to become multi-millionaires * without merit or honor, and to transmit colossal fortunes undivided to sons who will use them as means of continued cor- ruption and injustice, is surely in need of amendment. x But the rich are no more to blame than the poor for the defects of our social sys- temand for such inequalities as result therefrom. Every advantage the rich man thus obtains is conferred by the poor, who cast the most votes and have only them- selves to blame if our laws do not secure a | more equitable‘distribution of opportuni- ties, labor products and rewards. Instead of struggling to secure equal rights and opportunities and greater freedom for all men, they nibble continually at the gilded bait of exclusive privilege which promises profit tosome atthe ex- pense of others. They are continually or- ganizing, acting and voting to hamper each other under the impression that they are thus securing some personal ad- vantage. Labor unions try to limit jthe number of craftsmen and the amount of work each may do, inthe hope of thus raising the wage rate. Some vote for protection to raise wages atthe expense of consumers, un- taxing the masses, including themselves, for the exclusive benefit of a few combinéd barons. The hard-heartedness of the great money-getters is just as prevalent among the poor, the same hankering after monopoly privileges and soft snaps, by which the many suffer for the benefit of the cunning and lucky few. No social reform’ will ever abolish pov- erty. All the wealth of the world equally distributed would only leave us for a short time equally poor. Ifit were possible to abolish poverty and the necessity of work- ing foraliving, this would for a short time be a worse and wickeder world to live in, and the ideal equality thus estab- lished would not outlast a clean shirt. = = BRUTE AND HUMAN. A correspondent of the Post-DIsPATCH —, —_— rather misdirected sentimentality which occupies itself with the woes of the brute creation while neglecting the equal, if not greater, woes of humanity. At first blush it does seem irrational, if net cranky and insane, to devote one’s self to alleviating the condition of cats and dogs while so many men and women, to say nothing of little children, are suffering the pangs of hunger dnd ill-health, The old belief that the crushed worm suffers as much pain as the crushed’ giant was long’ - since exploded, along with many other sharpest pain suffered by the most highly that of which a man iscapable. Pain de- pends upon nervous organizations and the more highly organized creatures are more susceptible to the assaults of woe than the humbler mémbers of the animal kingdom. It is therefore, from this view point absurd to shed tears over the ill-used horse. It were better to keep one’s sympathy for one’s own kind. But there is another view of the subject. Putting aside an exception here and there, the man who is kind to his horse is kind to his wife. The same spirit which prompts him to care for the broken down nag prompts him to surround his old mother with every comfortand make her happy in her old age.. On the other hand we may be sure that the man who kicks his horse or beats his dog will be indifferent to his fellow men if not positively brutal.. Any consideration which he may show them arises not from fellow feeling put from fear, He would kick them, too, - ifhe dared. In like manner horse car com- panies, which give their horses a season of rest now and then, but work their men fourteen hours a day, are not so bad as they might be. They have observed that rest does horses good, and they act upon their knowledge. True, it is the commer- cial conscience which comes into play here, but a commercial conscience is better than none at all. It is really the germ ofa soul, They treat their horses well because it pays. When kindly conduct gets to be automatic they will treat their men well, | because it is right to do so. It is not wise, therefore, to discourage or disparage kindness to brutes. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is doing as much perhaps for hu- man. kind indirectly as the societies di- rectly devoted to the alleviation of human distress. Both are trying to mitigate pain. Both are trying to teach that any creature which God has taken the trouble to create has a God-given right to decent treatment at the hands of man, and when men learn to be kind to brutes they jwill not need to be taught kindness to each other. Cr a AN instructive spectacle is offered the public by the journey across the continent of Mr. GroRGE WASHINGTON CHILDs, proprietor of the Philadelphia Public Led- ger. Although a plain private citizen Mr. CHILDs is the recipient of public honors of @ most complimentary kind during his trip. Mr. Curtpsis a rich man; but he laid the foundations of his fortune by thrift and arduous toil and he has never aspired to greatness in an ambitious way. He is not honored on account of his wealth, but his use of it, not on account of his great- ness, but his goodness. His money has not been made by burdening or grinding others. Those who work for him regard him as their. best friend, and no appeal in behalf of a benevolent or public enterprise was ever madein vain to him. Mr. CHILDS is in a true sense the steward of his wealth, and it is gratifying not only that there are such philanthropioymen but that their value is recognized by their fellow-citi- zens. | —— AMERICAN women may not have all the privileges they want, but that their po- sition is far preferable to that of women on | the Continent of Europe is shown hy an ineident which occurred in Berlin re- cently. A respectable woman who was accidentally separated from her husband while leaving the theater and who appealed to a policeman for protection from the brutal insults of several young men was arrested for disturbing the peace while the young men were allowed to go free. Although the woman gave her name and address she was locked up and was only released when her husband went tothe station house and demanded it. In this country happily the presumption of inno- cefice is invariably placed with the woman and the insulting masher usually gets no consideration.

It will gather and distribute information and advice as to the best and most economical methods of suppressing the smoke, and will foster sentiment and stimulate efforts to thatend. Funds will be needed for this purpose, and the membership fee of $5 and the annual assessment which cannot ex- ceed $1 are expected to furnish these.

CURIOUS, The theory of spontaneous combustion of the human body in former times was held by almost every expert. French scientists, in particular, supported it, and several of them published pamphlets in which: mumerous cases Of alleged spontaneous combistion of the human body were described at length, but there are three very significant points to be noticed in connection with such reports. One is the invariable admission that there was a lightor fire in the room wheré the catastropne occurred; and another, that if no case was there any actual witness of the occurrence, Something like 75 per cent of the human body consists of water. -This fact initself is sufficient to discredit any of the alleged in- stances of spontaneous combustion. It is just conceivable that persons who drink an enormous amount of spirituous liquors may become so saturated, as it were, with this inflammable material that their bodies ‘burn much more easily than would those of people who donot over-in- dulge in this way, but it is perfectly certain thatthe fire would have to be applied from without, for no such thing asspontaneous combustion could be possible in any article ~ontaining so great a preponderance of the iguid element as does the human body.

When the cloth was spread and the family had gathered round the board, each uttered, * Bismillah’ (‘In the name of God,’) save one: the aged guest uttered no word.

Brrr, May 7.—The Government awaits With considerable anxiety a solution of the Italian ministerial crisis. Although the Triple Alliance treaty was iast year pro- longed until 1897, it is all important that the successor of the Margulis Di Hudini should be a man who ' " will give genuine, not merely verbal ad- hesion tothe treaty. No Italian statesman of whatever party would venture on assum- power to repudiate the treaty. hing HMuimbert personally pledged himself to Em- peror m, prior to the renewalof the treaty, not to sanction the existence of ae Cabinet containing ministers hostile to the Alliance.

Vienna. The Augemein Reichscorre Yondenz, which sometimes gets direct news from the Russian Finance Ministry, announces positively that the Ozar is coming to Potsdam. If this re- port is true, his visit must necessarily bea brief one of courtesy, as the Emperor's plans, which are fixed for months to come, do not include a visit from the Czar. It is certain that attempts continue to renew the entente with Russia, though the efforts of Count von Schouvalof, tue Russian Dassador to Germany, in the direc tion of negotiating a commercial treaty, have been balked by the St. Petersburg Opposition. Even a courtesy vist from the Czar would be tending to a reconciliation. In the meantime the anti-German party prevails in Russia. The expression of the German element in the Baltic provinces is more severe than ever. The use of the Russian language made compulsory in the schools of Courland, which have hitherto been exempt from that obligation. The student clubs at the Dorpat University, which are made up largely.of Germans, have been placed under the ban. Russian professors dre taking places of Ger- mans. Russian students who obtain scholar- sh are sent to Dorpat with the view to strengthening the Russian and outweigh- ing the German element. The Emperor has hadan uneventful week at Potsdam until yesterday’s ceremonial of introducing the Crown Prince intothe army. Undera bitter cold wind and a sharp fall of sleet the imperial family, leading Generals, officers of State and foreign miuistry repre- sentatives assembiedat Potsdam. The foot guards were formed in open square in the Lustgarten. The Crown Prince took his po- sition asa lieutenant on the right of his com- pany. The Emperor, drawing his sword, took command of the regiment and delivered a short but animated speech in which he told the men that he cofined his son totheircare. He relied upon his son and comrades to continue the honorable tradi- tions of the regiment. The troops led by the Crown Prince then marched past the palace,where the Empress, Surrounded by a group of ladies, was watch- fag the spectacie of ber son’s installation as an officer. The Emperor will goto Dantzic on May 15, where he will view the garrison and launcha rT that has been bullt at the imperial kK. An incifent has just occurred that proves the growing dread here of the efficiency of ‘the American emigrant commission. Soloman Gunfela of Turkish birth, living in the United States, sent to his wife, who resides in Call- fornia, money for a ticket and money to allow of her joining him in America. The German authorities refused to permit her to passthe frontier. Gunfeld appealed to Mr. Blaine, the American Secretary of State, who instructed Mr. Phelps, the American Minis- ter here,to do what he could in the case, although Gunfeld’s wife was not an Ameri- can citizen and had no positive right to as- pert. Asa result of the informal negotia- tions,the German authorities refused to allow her to pass for fear that the Emigration Com- Mission would send her back undersome ex- Ccuse. An official hint was given that if Mr. Pheips would guarantee the en- ‘forced return of Mrs. Gunfeld, she would be allowed to proceed, and _, this resulted in a settlement of the dilemma. @ started for Dallas, Tex.

His brothers did not desire that he should have a share of the money, and prevalied upon the Russian consul to refuse 16 vise his passport because he was a He- brew.

Ev-Minister Delbruck has become a strong advocate ofa world’s exhibition at Berkn. Ata large industrial meeting commenting upon the fact that German commercial bodies now wanted to be internationally exhibit. ed, Herr Delbruck attributed this desire to the favorable ‘influence of the new com- mercial treaties. The movement for an in- ternational show has spread. The agricul- tural bodies are now preparing 4 petition which will be present- ea 6to Chancellor Von Caprivi in its favor. Mr. Murphy, «the American Special Commissioner to introduce the use of cornmeal has sent a loaf of cornbread, to- gether with some cornmeal, to every meom- ber of the Reichstag. The Berliner Tagbiatt quotes Herr Lucius, a member of the Reichstag, as sayffM,, after sampling the bread that he wished the Ger- man representatives abroad would display equal energy for German interests. Some American physicians, after forming a Keely Institute at Copenhagen, have come here to try to introduce the cure. The American Legation here is flooded with inquiries regarding the estate of Baron Fisher, who is said to have left relatives in in the United States.

RoME, May 7.—King Humbert has been put in a serious quandary by the resignation of M. Rudini, as it is feared no other statesman, acceptable by the King and to the Chambers, willaccept under existing conditians.

Electoral College. WasnHiIncTon, D. C., May 7.—Farmers’ Alli- ance schemes are driving on toafocus. To- day a secret conference was held by Congressmen Jerry Simpson, Livingston ana Watson and afew other Alliance Ughts anda plan was outlined to make the best of their balance of power in the Electoral College. The conference lasted over two hours. It was decided that the Congressmen should use their utmost efforts to carry out thisscheme,. Instead of putting up candidates to whom the eleétors will be pledged, the third party will put up electors and no candidates. Then by fusion or divis- ton of electors they can get enough represen- tation in the college to enable them to hold the balance of power. Then = itheir électors being pledged only to do the best for their party, will be at liberty to act at will with elther party. They can goto either and demand this or that cabinet portfolio or one ortwo portfolios asa return for their support. It was pointed out by Simpson in a hot speech of forty-five min- Am welcome, as has been utes that if their electors went into the electoral college pledged to any one man and there was po majority, the’ election’ would go to the House and the Democrats would win. ‘‘I am against combinations generally,’’ said Jerry, ‘‘except when I can beat the old parties, and I think that combination will do the business. It won’t. be the first time electors bave been allowed to follow their personal bent in the college, and there is nothing inthe constitution to pre- vent their doing so. Our men will fight in the college for principle, not for a personality.’’ The idea was heartily approved by those present and inthe next few days the plan will be laid officially Defore all the Alliances of the country.

It was nip andtuck for eight innings and then a bold play, such as only a player with his heart set on winning would attempt, resulted disastrously and gave the game'to Brooklyn. It was remarked as a queer coincidence by the cranksof the two St. Louis stars that nad afterwards played in Brooklyn, one was the instrumental the other the efficient cause of the Browns’ defeat. In the ninth innings with the score tied, the Browns were retired in one, two, three order, then Foutz came to the bat for Brooklyn. He knockeda hot liner to short right field. Caruthers made a long dive for it, reached it on the short bound, but over and the ball passed through his s, he picked himself up and felded the ball in to Glasscock, who fumbled it, letting Wouts cross the plate with the winning run. Aside from the disastrous ending, the game satisfied ~ the crowd to the fullest extent. The batting was lively and the fielding sharp. Moran é¢aught his frst championship game for the Browns and did excellent backstop work. Corcoran did some sharp infield work for the Brooklyns and the Brodie gobbled everything in his territory and set the crowd wild. His one- banded catch of Collins’ hot liner in the sev- enth was the grand stand play of the season, Kid Gleason’s free arm work with the sphere and the willow was the brightest feature of the game. Neither side scored in the first two innings, although Brgoklyn got men on base both times. In the Browns’ half of the third Glea- son fiew out to center, Moran was patient and got his base on balls, then Piackney sent a hot grounder t»% Corcoran at short, who fielded it likea flash from second, and then Ward got the ball be- fore Pinkney to first. The double play was executed like clock workjand the side retired. For the Brooklyns Collins took first on called Dalls and Ward’s sacrifice advanced him @ bag. Joyce waited for his base on balls and got it. Collins crossed the plate on Brouthers’ safe drive tp :left, Daly followed suit and Joyce scored, but Daly was over- lous and died trying to steal second on arroll’s assist. O’Brien retired the side on @ high fly to first base. The Browns started to even things up in the nextinning. After Carroll and Werden had gone out on pop fiys Glasscock gota safe one past Ward. Brodie came tothe rescue with a beautiful drive togricht, sending Glasscock to third, Caruthers was equal to the emer- gency and landed safe past second, Glasscock scoring. Stricker left them both with an easy grounder to short. The Brooklyns lanted goose eggs for the next three npoings. Carroll opened the fifth with a slashing drive toright for two bases Werden made a suicidal attempt to buntand Janded a pop fiy into Foutz’shands, The next two men were flelded out. In the’sixth inning Moran doubied himself over the grand stand failing tocatcha high foul from Col- * Dat. Browns put up two more in the geventh. Stricker knocked abot grounder past thirdthat was calledafoul, and then put another in the same locality that was called fair. Kid Gleason landed the bvall into the right field bleachers and madea circuit ofthe diamond. Forthe Brookiyns Coilins shot ahot liner into left center that Brodie rushed forstopped with one hand and then captured. Ward hit safe short, took second on Joyce’s base on , stole thirdand came inon Brouthers’ sacrifice tofirst. Joyce tried to follow him but died on the pete. Glasscock hit in the eighth. but fa ilea to Corcoran landed safe for Brook- after two were out, but erden ended the agony by hauling down Dalley’s high liner to right. In the ninth Kid Gleason solved Foutz’s delivery a second time. Moran miade a pretty sacrifice, but Pinkney and Carroll failed to get the bail out of the infield. Foutz came tothe bat for Brooklyn, lined out to short right and orm Caruthers’ muff and Giasscock’s fumble, made the circuit of the bases and the game was won, The score: THE SCORE. BROOKLYN. .

The Tigers lost it on.the weakest kind of play, both inthe fleltand at the bat, and the old Nassaucampus isfullofsore Inngs, sore hearts and empty pocket-books. The boys had set their hearts on winning. They argued, ‘‘and we will show them how to play ball.’’ Then they invited their wtves and sisters and sweethearts to the festal of slaughter. But the wives and sisters and sweethearts hada good time, nevertheless. Previous to the time of the game they strolled around the campus in brilllant groups and talked about the coming contest. ‘‘Of course Princeton would win.’’ It would be a_i horrid shame to lose the game to their hereditary and crimson eriemies. Gradually the stroll- ing groups focussed intoa stream which set in a slow current towards the ball ground. Thicker and thicker grew the crowd until retty soon it was dificult to avoid. stepping on somebody’s heels. Bicycles, carriages, busses, hacks and pedes- trians swarmed through the gates in an end- less a ae Wheels rumbled, badge venders howled, girls chattered, ribbons fluttered, and altogether the scene resembled an old- time Roman feast. There were very few Harvard men present but their ‘‘ringers’’ turned out strong, an betting on the game was very quiet, and what money was bet on the result was mostly placed on even terms. In the frst six-innings the game was any- thing but brilliant, neither side doing t execution. After the sixth however Young, Princeton’s was anything but effective.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 7.—The Indlan apolis-St. Paul game was postponed onac count of wet grounds, BASE BALL GOSSIP. Kid Gleason did finely yesterday, and be- sides pitching a game that would ordinarily win, his hitting was exceptionally clever. Brodie’s one-hand catchin center yesterday was of the sensational order. He’s playing aa for his life and is rightinit. Good boy, ‘alter. Kid Gleason’s circular saw motionin deliv- ering the ball has teeth on it, and it is very cutting toa Datsman. That’s why the Kid is so effective. That bit of Dave Foutz’s in thesninth yes- terday wasanold trick of his. He’s executed the same little stroke several times before, against the browns. Geo, W. Howe, Treasurer of the Cleveland Club, one of Cleveland’s leading business men, and Secretary Hawley, will accompany Pat Tebeau’s team to this city. Moran caught finely yesterday.

JACKSON IS NOT DYING OF CONSUMPTION—TALK OF THE PUGILISTS. : LONDON, May 7.—Anybody who entertains any idea that Pugilist Jackson Is in incipient consumption should see him in training at Brighton, The dusky thumper never louked better, and is not the least discouraged be- cause the betting slightly favors Slavin: The SUNDAY PO8T-DISPATCH correspondent visit- ed Jackson at Brighton yesterday and had a long talk with him con- cerning his health. He says the sickness that amicted him while in San Francisco when he fought Corbett has dls- appeared. There is one thing about Jack- son’s training which does not impress favor- ably and that is his fondness for doing his work by himself. Jackson has no regular trainer except a man hired to rub him down. He does not do much running or walk- ing but he _ puts in lots of time punching the bag and at other gymnastic work. When Jackson started training he weighed 196 pounds and has taken off ten ounds of this during the three weeks at righton; he expects to take off another five pounds, and will enter the ring at 180 to 182 pounds.

A great deal of interest is manifested both here and in Chicago about the inter-city wrestling competition, which takes place at the Seventh Regiment Armory Hall in Chicago next Saturday evening, May 14. Ss ~~ ——— BOOMING CANNON. Thd Cruiser Concord Safely Anchored at Memphis. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 7.—The Concord left Helena at ll:45a.m. Friday and proceeded slowly up the river toa point twenty miles below Memphis where she anchored for the night. Her anticipated coming excited great interest and when it was announced that the excursion steamer C. B. Bryan would make atripin questof her last night, the boat had all the passengers she could carry. The Concord, however, lay beyond the reach of the local excursionists and they returned disappointed &t failing tosee the war ship. Saturday morning the Concord _leis- urely got under weigh and after getting down her top-urasts sO as to pass under the bridge, she steamed slowly up the river, timing herself soas to reach Minneapolis at 20’clock, the hour fixed for the formalreception by the civic authori- tiles and the Reception Committee. As soon as the gunboat passed through ‘the bridge Battery A, under command of Col. Hugh Petit, fired the salute to the flag, con- sisting of twenty-one guns. Commander White did not wait for the seven- gun salute, which naval etiquette calls before it is ob- ligatory ona Captain of a warship two reply to the salute to the flag, but at once replied to the salute to the flag by firing seven guns. Col, Petit responded with the salute tothe commander, which terminated the voce fervus courtesies. In the meantime the Goncord passed slowly up the river and cast anchor opposite the elevator, where she was atonce surrounded by a, flotilla of skiff_s crowded with sight-seers, whose curi- osity could not be satisfied from the shore. The steady down pour ofrain did not seem sufficient to dampen the ardor of the public, and upbtil ‘nightfall the biuff was crowded with people gazing upon that rare spectacle, a sea-going vessel in Memphis waters, At 2 o’clock the gentlemen composing the Reception Committee assembled on the wharfboat at the foot of Union street and embarked on the tug N. M. Jones to board the Concord. On arriving on board intro ductions followed. President Lucas w. Clapp delivered the formal address of welcome, which was gracefully responded to by Commander White. Then followed an inspection of the ship, which was highly enjoyed by the land lubbers, and courtesies public and private. were numer- ously tendered to the visitors, who were assured that during their stay every latch- string in Memphis was hanging on the outside for them. All the afternoon parties of blue jackets on shore were patrol- ling the streets taking in the town and being taken in, opening at Me of the slerchan derson, We field, and t were embodied i Hon. B.

ANDERSON, WALLACE DELAFIELD, WEB M, SAMUEL, ISAAC M. MASON, President Merchants’ Exchange. Capt. Mason said: **Until to-day lIbayve been doubtful of the wisdom of having the Concord visit St. Louls, owing to the danger of belag caught by low water; but for the reasons expiained in the telegram sent to-day I now feel sure that uae perfectly safe for the Visit to be made. Ispeakfrom-an experience of forty-five years’ Knowledge of the Mississip- pi River. The Concord could leave Memphis on the 13th, and, making daylight trips only, reach St. Louis on the 17th. It would be unwise for any part of the trip to be made at night. I am heartily in favor of doing all possible to get the Con- cord to St. Louls under these circumstances, so that our people may get an idea of the new | vessels constituting the United States Navy. I hope Secretary Tracy will accept our assur- ances of the perfect safety of the trip, and order the Concord to st. Louls.’’ ‘Everyone connected with the Exchange were 6qually enthusiastic with Capt. Mason and the Merchants’ Exchange asa body is heartily tn favor of the movement. It is be- lieved that Secretary Tracy will consent to thetripand issue the necessary order, from the Navy Department.

Itisthe best thing I could doand it will end it all. Farewell, sweetheart Lulu! Wheaoa I am dead think of me sometimes and be happy. Fare- well, KATE. The reply to this melancholy letter was found bespattered with biood in Miss Tipton’s bosom after she bad shot herself. It reads: DEAR SWEETHEART KATE—lIt is too true thatlI am going to leave, and I ought to be the happiest woman in all the world with the love of two noble souls, but you have pierced my heart. Oh God! Kate, what can I do to influence you to break your dark resoive? **itis you or death,’’ How canl live, darling Kate, when you are dead, dead’ And why do I care to live when my dariing is at heaven's gate, gllion my Bbecount? Gocd-bye, my dariing and wy love. | LULv, After Miss Tipton had shot herself the fol- lowing note in an envelope was found ad- Grésged to her mother ana Sister: DEAR MOTIIER AND SisTER—I ca nnot live without Lulu, and take this means of putting an end to my- geif.

It seems thata few days after Mrs. Meeks had decided to move away the mother of Miss Tipton found two letters to her dangh- ter from the married woman, and ordered Kate tostay away from Mrs. Meeks’ house and sent word to Mrs. Meeks to keep away from Kate. The night before the suicide the two were found standing with arms locked about each other in close embrace back of the Meeks residence. Miss Tipton’s mother berated the two soundly and threatened to confine her daughter inher room if she ever Caught her with Mrs. Meeks again. Just before the marriage of Miss Sanders, her friend, Miss Tipton, wrote her a letter which is full of loving, tender phrases. itis as follows: DARLING, DEAREST LULU—Why do you treat me this way? You haye me to love, my offn, and I will rely die ifyoudothisthing. Jackis a nice man, the would give you up if he knew'I loved you.

Insane by an Electric Shook. CHICAGO, May 7.—Acase without parallel, at least in the medical records ofthis city, is that of James Grant, a lineman for the Chi- cago Telephone Co., who was driven insane by an electric shock while talking througha | telephone in the branch office at Fortieth and Lake streets. He is now inthe Detention Hospital a raving maniac, strapped down to a bed with two men guarding him. Grant is 34 years old, and lives with his family at For- tieth and Lake streets. Heisa large, robust man and has been in tbe employ of the com- pany for some timeinthe capacity of line- aman and was a thoroughly competent work- man. No mistakes have ever occurred with his work, and the remarkable accident which has befallen him cannot be accounted fur. Monday afternoon there wasa severe elet- trical storm and many of.the wires were cut oylt. Grant, among others, was sent out to repair them, andhe had stepped into the branch office to communicate with headquar- ters when he received the shock. of electricity that rendered his mind a blank. He was waiting for an answer at the telephone when a bolt of lightning Mashed near by, and Grant fell unconscious to the floor. Several of the spectators ranto his assistance and he was picked up unconscious and taken to his home across the street. Several physicians were calied, but they could do nothing for him. Inafew hours he regained his conscious- ness, but when he did he was a ravin maniac. His strength was superhuman, and none ofthe. attendants in the house could control him. He bitand snapped and kept crying—‘‘Hello, hello, ring off,’’ until heip arrived and quieted him. He grew steadily worse until yesterday it was thought best tu remove himtothe Detention Hospital. Five strong men carried him into the ward, and It required five more to hold and strap him down. Later in the afternoon he becdme more quiét and fellintoa slumber. Insanity through an electric shock is something that has never before occurred in this city, and the physicians are unable to account for it. The shock was no doubt communicated to the head by means of the hearing tube coming in em ay contact through the ear with tbe rain, The Oratorical Contest. EVANSTON, Ill., May 7.—The decision at last nigit’s oratorical contest in Evanston has been reversed, and Albert 8. Mason of the Northwestern University has been awarded first prize, $700, insteadof J. F. A. Pyre of the University of Wisconsin. Mr.Pyre receives second prize instead of Jesse E. Roberts of the University of Michigan. This change was announced in the convention of the North- ern Oratorical League delegates held this morning at 10 o’clock In the Avenue House, The Executive Committee of the League re- ported that the judges, Solomon Thatcher, Prof. W. E. Dogart and Dr. J. Sturtevant, requested this morning” tO TOOK Over their markings and upon doing so Dr, Sturtevant ascertained that the figure 6 in the mark 65 for Mr. had been mistaken for an* 8&8, s0 changed the total resalt Mr. Pyre was thrown out of first rize, and Mr. Mason put in. The Wisconsin delegation claimed that the decision last night was official and questioned the power of the Executive Com- mittee or the convention to acceptany other decision. Aftera warm discussion the con- vention finally decided to accept the final report of the Judges and the Executive Com- mittee, which gives first place to North- western and second to Wisconsin. Mr. Mason, the first prize man, spoke onthe battie of Gettysburg, which,though not rank- ing as highas Mr. Pyre’s oration in thought and composition, excelled in delivery. Crops in Iowa. DresMornes, I0., May 7.—This week’s weather crop bulletin says: Reports from all parts of the State tell about the same story of cool weather, excessive rainfall, delayed farm work and damaging floods. The aver- age precipitation for the State was 342 inches. The acreage of oats and other small grain Is greatly reduced compared with last year, While much corn groundis yet to be plowed, anditis probable that the lateness of the season and saturated condition ofthe soll will considerably reduce the acreage of corn. Grass, winter wheat and early sown oats are doing tairly well. Reception to G. W. Childs. Kansas City, Mo., May 7.—Hon. George W. Childs and party arrived to day over the Burlington from Chicago.

MISSION REPORTS THE DAY’S ORDER OF BUSINESS. The Session Was Opened by a Colored Brother— A Ripple of Hilarity En- livens the Proceedings — Memorials Presented and Properly Referred — Archbishop Corrigan Interviewed. 1.—Bishop Fowler Francisco presided at the Methodist Conference. Amos Shinkle was put on the Committee on Re- visals. Dr. Ott of the West German con- ‘ference moved that every resolution and every memorial be printed in the Daily Ad- vocate. Secretary Monroe stated that the memorials and resolutions had been coming to htm in suchashape that no ving man could tell whether they were resolutions, memoriais or what not; some of them were not signed, had not the name of a conference onthem. He thought delegates should learn how to write resolutions and memorials in such a manner that they could beread. Dr. Buckley of New York said that his committee had received a document on sacred eloquence that had been referred to his com- mittee; he believed it should be referred to the bishop personally. [Laughter.] It was referred to the Committee on Education. Bishop Taylor of Africa then came forward. He said the evangelization of Africa wasa stupendous work. A part of the Oontinent of Africa was poverty-stricken by nature on account of the unproductiveness of the coun- try in its present state. The natives were unable to make use of even the resources were within theirreach. They needed brain culture and hand culture. Without band cul- ture they would starve on their barren plains. The best time to begin the education of the head and hand, which must be carried forward simultaneously im Africa, was in youth, It would not ago to wait un- til the heathen had grown up in ignorance and ‘Day unto day and night unto night,’’ said the speaker, **the wnat enoule ae on.

The rules were then taken up and after half an hour more wrangling were finally adopted g.nd the conference adjourned, THE POPE AND THE SCHOOLS. New Yorn, May 7.—Archbishop Corrigan received yesterday a cable dispatch .from Rome saying: ‘‘Faribault system con- demned. Special cases tolerated.’’ This means that the cause which Archbishop Ire- land championed, and whose advancement was one of the objects of his journey to Rome, is put under ban by the Pope. The Archbishop returned from Albany to-day. He was seen last evening by areporter. The authenticity of the cable concerning the Faribault system is placed beyond doubt by the Archbishop. He re- ceived it himself fromRome. He was pleased at its contents, and be said so, for His Grace is an unflinching supporter of the parochial schools, ‘‘Itistrue,’’ said the Archbishop, ‘‘that I have received a cable from Rome placing it beyond the possibility of a doubt that what its known as the Faribault system has been cen- sured by the Pope, The cable reads: ‘Fari- bault system condemned; special cases toi- erated.’ ’’ ‘‘Now, ofcourse, to know what ‘special cases tolerated’ fully means we must wait until we get official documents from Rome dealing with the whole matter. There are undoubtedly circumstances oe par- ticular Catholic districts which, inthe judg- ment of the Catholic eclesiastical authorities, exercising jurisdiction over such districts may warrant anarrangement with the loca school authorities a Similar to that in force at GIVEN THE HOLY ROSE. Roms, May 7.—It is announced that the Holy Rose, which the Pope bestows every year upon some Roman Catholic princess ‘*for virtue,’’ fell this yearto the Queen of ; stem Pye 9 solid gold resemblance of dewdrops.

Father Caillet, administra- tor of 8t. Paul, Minn., has been nominated prelate at the Vatican. MADDEN NOT TO BLAME. An Official Report on the “Big Head Willie’ Assault. Chief Harrigan hadan investigation made yesterday ofthe charge that Officer Madden had used his club on Wm, Monroe, the col- ored bootblack and newsboy, called ‘‘Big Head Willie’’ on account of the enormous size of his head. poe oe Young made the investi- gation and submitted his report lAst night. The Captain says in his report: The following eye-witnesses state that Officer Mad- den did not touch the boy at all when he fell and re- ceived the scalp wound yesterday afternoon: Morris Frank of 209 Eim street; Philip Kelly, No. 1 South Third street; John Buchroeder, Walnut street, and John Ruedi, who keeps a shooting gallery at 20% North Sixth street. Officer Madden walked across the street at the time the game wasin prog- ress. He came down the street and on his approach- ing the boys playing craps, they all broke and ran. Monroe tripped and feil, his head striking against tne building at No. 18 North Sixth street. All of the above parties state positively that the officer did not strike the boy. Monroe was released from the hospital this morning, and when. seen atthe station, he stated that the officer did not strike him and that he got hurt when he fell. Officer Madden being in summer uniform, it is impossible for him to have used his baton, as he had none with him at the time. The Chief intended to suspend Officer Mad- den if the investigation showed that he used his club on the boy, but he is now satisfied that the charge made against the officer was entirely without foundation. A Missing Bride. John Macker, who lives on Main and Dor. cas streets, reportedtothe police yesterday afternoon that his wife left home last Thurs- day and that he hasn’t seen or heard from or of her since. He met her for the first time in his life only about ten weeksago. He fell in love with her at once and in less than a month, on March 25, they were married. They lived happily together, he says, until last Thursday afternoon when she left home without any apparent cause and failed to re- turn. He wentto see his father-in law, he says, inregardto her disappearance and he consoled him with the. statement that she would probably return ina few days. She was a little flighty at times and wan foraday or two when she got oneof her spells. Mrs. Johanna Macher Is only 18 years oid and is described as being 5 as inches high, heavy set and of dark compiex- ion with dark hair, brown eyes, faise upper teeth, and when she left she wore a y dress and biack hat and had a biack silk akerchief around her neck.

It is the trianglar shaped piece of ground, bounded by Vandeventer avenue on the west, and by Lindell and McPherson ave- nues on the southeast and north sides. The lot has a frontage of 118 feet on Vandeveoter avenue, and tapers off in a point, 433 feet east of Vandeventer avenue where McPherson and Lindell avenues join. At the psesent time McPherson avenue is but an ill-defined thoroughfare atthe spot in question. The ground mentioned is utterly unfit for man- sions such as abound in the neighborhood and the owners as well as the neighbors do not desire anything else.

Although the two now lived within forty feet of each other, their love was boundless,and was moticed by everyone. Miss Tipton would spend the morning with Mrs. Meeks and go home and write her a long, loving letter. Mrs. Meeks came to the Tipton house in the evening and would return to write her ‘‘Dear Kate’’ a love letter. Sometimes each would write a half dozen letters every day.

The reply to this melancholy letter was found bespattered with biood in Miss Tipton’s bosom after she bad shot herself. It reads: DEAR SWEETHEART KATE—It is too true thatI am going to leave, and I ought to be the happiest woman in all the world with the love of two noble souls, but you have pierced my heart. Oh God!

A RAVING M ANIAC A Chicago Lineman Driven Insane by an Eléctric Shook. .CHICAGO, May 7.—A case without parallel, at least in the medical records of this city, is that of James Grant, a lineman for the Chi- cago Telephone Co., who was driven insane by an electric shock while talking througha telephone in the branch office at Fortieth and Lake streets. He ig now inthe Detention Hospital a raving maniac, strapped down to a bed with two men guarding him. Grant Is 34 years old, and lives with his family at For- tieth and Lake streets. Heisa large, robust man and has been in tbe employ of the com- pany forsome time inthe capacity of line- man and was a thoroughly competent work- man. No mistakes have ever occurred with his work, and the remarkable accident which has befavHien him cannot be accounted fur. Monday afternoon there wasa severe elet- trical storm and many of the wires were cut out. Grant, among others, was sent out to repair them, andhe had stepped into the branch office to communicate with headquar- ters when he received the shock of electricity that rendered his mind a blank. He was waiting for an answer at the telephone when a bolt of lightning flashed near by, and Grant fell unconscious to the floor. Several of the spectators rantohis assistance and he was picked up unconscious and taken to his home across the street. Several physicians were calied, but they coulfl do nothing for him. Inafew hours he regained his conscious- ness, but when he did he was a ravin maniac. His strength was superhuman, and none ofthe attendants in the house could controlhim. He bitand snapped and kept crying—‘‘Hello, hello, ring off,’’ until help arrived and quieted him. He grew steadily worse until yesterday it was thought best tu remove himtothe Detention Hospital. Five strong men carried him into the ward, and it required five more to hold and strap him down. Later in the afternoun he becdme more quilét and fellintoa slumber. Insanity through an electric shock is something that has never before occurred.in this city, and the physicians are unable to account for it. The shock was no doubt communicated to the head by means of the hearing tube coming in ae, contact through the ear with tbe rain. The Oratorical Contest. Evanston, Ill., May 7.—The decision at last nigit’s oratorical contest in Evanston has been reversed, and Albert 8. Mason of the Northwestern University has been awarded first prize, $700, insteadof J. F.A. Pyre of the University of Wisconsin. Mr. Pyre receives second prize instead of Jesse E. Roberts of the University of Michigan. This change was announced in the convention of the North- ern Oratorical League delegates held this morning at10 o’clock In the Avenue House, The Executive Committee of the League re- ported that the judges, Solomon Thatcher, Prof. W. E. Dogart and Dr. J. Sturtevant, requested this morning’ tO I00K Over their markings and upon doing so Dr, Sturtevant ascertained that the figure 6 in the mark 65 for Mr. Pyre had been mistaken (for an’ 8, whith so changed the total resalt that Mr. Pyre was thrown out of first rize, and Mr. Masor put in. The Wisconsin delegation claimed that the decision last night was official and questioned the power of the Executive Com- mittee or the convention to acceptany other decision. Aftera warm discussion the con- vention finally decided to accept the final ‘report of the Judges and the Executive Com- |} mittee, which gives first place to North- western and second to Wisconsin. Mr. Mason, the first prize man, spoke onthe battle of Gettysburg, which,though not rank- ing as highas Mr. Pyre’s oration in thought and composition, excelled in delivery. Crops in Iowa. DesMornes, I0., May 7.—This week's weather crop bulletin says: Reports from all parts of the State tell about the same story of cool weather, excessive rainfall, delayed farm work and damaging floods. The aver- age precipitation for the State was 342 inches. The acreage of oats and other small grain Is greatly reduced compared with last year. While much corn ground is yet to be plowed, and itis probable that the lateness of the season and saturated condition ofthe soll will considerably reduce the acreage of corn. Grass, winter wheat and early sown oats are doing tairly well. Reception to G. W. Childs. KANSAS CiTr, Mo., May 7.—Hon. George W. Childs and party arrived to day over the Burlington from Chicago.

Neb., Nay 7.—Bishop Fowler Francisco presided at the Methodist Conference. Amos Shinkle was put on the Committee on Re- visals. Dr. Ott of the West German con- ference moved that every resolution and every memorial be printed in the Daily Ad- vocate. Secretary Monroe stated that the memorials and resolutions had been coming to him in suchashape that no living man could tell whether they were resolutions, memorials or what not;some of them were not signed, had not the name of a conference onthem. He thought delegates should learn how to write resolutions and memorials in such a manner that they could beread. Dr. Buckley of New York said that his committee had received a document on sacred eloquence that had been referred to his com- mittee; he believed it should be referred to the bishop personally. [(Laughter.] It was referred to the Committee on Education. Bishop Taylor of Africa then came forward. He said the evangelization of Africa wasa stupendous work, A part of the Continent of Africa was poverty-stricken by nature on account ot the unproductiveness of the coun- try in its present state. The natives were unable to make use of even the resources that were within their reach. They needed brain culture and hand culture. Without hand cul- ture they would starve on their barren plains. The best time to begin the education of the head and hand, which must be carried forward simultaneously in Africa, was in youth. It would not do to wait un- til the heathen had grown up in ignorance and sin. “Day unto day and night unto night,’’ said the speaker, ‘the work should #0 On.

New Yorsn, May 7.—Archbishop Corrigan received yesterday a cable dispatch from Rome saying: ‘‘Faribault system con- Gdemned. Special cases tolerated.’’ This means that the cause which Archbishop Ire- land championed, and whose advancement was one of the objects of his journey to Rome, is put under ban by the Pope. The Archbishop returned from Albany to-day. He was seen last evening by areporter. The authenticity of the cable concerning the Faribault system is placed beyond doubt by the Archbishop. He re- ceived it himself from Rome. He was pleased at its contents, and he said so, for His Grace is an unflinching supporter of the parochial schools, ‘‘Itistrue,’’ said the Archbishop, ‘‘that I have received a cable from Rome placing it beyond the possibility of a doubt that what is known as the Faribault System has been cen- sured by the Pope, The cable reads: ‘Fari- bault system condemned; special cases tol- erated.’ ’’ ‘‘Now, ofcourse, to know what ‘special cases tolerated’ fully means we must wait until we get official documents from Rome dealing with the whole matter. There are undoustealy circumstances ae in par- ticular Catholic districts which, inthe judg- ment of the Catholic eclesiastical authorities, exercising jurisdiction over such districts may warrant anarrangement with the loca school authorities somewhat simiiarto that in force at Faribault.’’ GIVEN THE HOLY ROSE. Rome, May 7.—It is announced that the Holy Rose, which the Pope bestows every year upon some Roman Catholic princess ‘*for virtue,’’ fell this yearto the Queen of ‘ estimated value of the resemblance of dewdrops. The whole work of-art lies in a magnificent case of white satin, mounted with silver studs. NOMINATED PRELATE AT THE VATICAN. ROME, May 7.—At the request of Archbishop Ireland, the Rev. Father Caillet, ‘administra- tor of St. prelate at the Vatican. MADDEN NOT TO BLAME. An Official Report on the “Big Head Willie’ Assault. Chief Harrigan hadan investigation made yesterday ofthe charge that Officer Madden had used his club on Wm, Monroe, the col- ored bootblack and newsboy, called ‘‘Big Head Willie’’ on account of the enormous size of his head. Capt. Young made the investi- | gation and submitted his report last night. The Captain says in his report: The following eye-witnesses state that Officer Mad- den did not touch the boy at all when he fell and re- ceived the scalp wound yesterday a'*ernoon: Morris Frank of 209 Eim street; Philip Keluy, No. 1 South Third street; John Buchroeder, 507 Walnut street, and John Ruedi, whokeeps a shooting gallery at 20% North Sixth street. Officer Madden walked across the street at the time the game wasig prog- ress. He came down the street and on his approach- ing the boys playing craps, they all broke and ran. Monroe tripped and feil, his head striking against tne building at No. 18 North Sixth street. All of the above parties state positively that the officer did not strikethe boy. Monroe was released from the hospital this morning, and when. seen at the station, he stated that the officer did not strike him and that he got hurt when he fell, cer Madden being in summer uniform, it is impossible for him to have used his baton, as he had none with him at the time. The Chief intended to suspend Officer Mad.- den if the investigation showed that he used his club on the boy, but he is now satisfied that the charge made against the officer was entirely without foundation, A Missing Bride. John Macker, who lives on Main and Dor- cas streets, reportedtothe police yesterday afternoon that his wife left home last Thurs- day and that he hasn’t seen or heard from or of her since. He met her for the first time in his life only about ten weeks ago.- He fell in love with her at once and in less than a month, on March 25, they were -married. They lived happily together, he says, until last Thursday afternoon when she left home without any apparent cause and falled to re- turn. He went to see his father-in law, he says, inregardto her disappearance and he consoled him with the. statement that she would probably return ina few days. She was a little flighty at times and wandered off foraday or two when she got oneof her spells. Mrs. Johanna Macher is only 18 years oid and is described as being 6 feet ands inches high, heavy set and of dark complex- ion with dark hair, brown eyes, faise upper teeth, and when she left ne she wore a y dress and biack hat and had a Diack silk fandkerchiet around her neck. en Little Boy Killed.

TO BE MADE A PARK, _ — —— Plans for a “Beauty Spot” on the Boulevard. MENDABLE PUBLIC SPIRIT. The Block at the Intersection of Lindell and Page Avenues to Be Dedicated for Park Furposes and to Be Handsomely Adorned — Those Who Are Favoring the Project. St. Louis is to have another park with shady trees, meandering granitoid walks, a bubbling fountain, a flower-clad sward, an imposing statue and all the beauties ofa balmy, cool retreat, City block 6086 Is the present title of the proposed park. It is the trianglar shaped piece of ground, bounded by Vandeventer avenue on the west, and by Lindell and McPherson ave- nues on the southeastand north sides. The lot has a frontage of 118 feet on Vandeveotor avenue, and tapers off in a point, 433 feet east of Vandeventer avenue where McPherson and Lindell avenues join. At the psesent time McPherson avenue is but an ill-defined The ground mentioned is utterly unfit for man- sions suchas abound in the neighborhood and the owners as well as the neighbors do not desire. anything else. Far some time, therefore,the lot has been lit: tle more thana shapeless remnant with no apparent career of usefulness before it. MAJ. MURPHY’S SUGGESTION, Maj. M. J. Murphy, the Street Commis- sioner, who has traveled extensively, and with an eye to what other. cities did with their odds and ends of property, suggested the advisability of making a park or a site fora statue out of block No. 5036. Many cities of the East have adopted this plan. Washington has several of | them along Pennsylvania avenue where that historic boulevard cuts off other highways. Atthecorner of Pennsylvania avenue and Tenth street, in Washington, D.

What Prof. Lucy Salmon Says on This Interesting Subject. : Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH. NEW YORK, May 5.—Miss Lucy M. Salmon, professor of history and economics in V assar College, has been giving a series of three lec- tures on ‘*‘Domestic Service’’ in some of the college towns under the auspices of the Asso- ciation of Collegiate Alumnzx. The subject was treated in a new way—entirely from the historic and economic standpoint. Prof, Salmon said that about three years ago three schedules were sent out—one to employersand one to women engaged in po- sitions such as teachers, clerks, etc.—and thatthe lectures were based on the returns from these, The schedule sent to employers asked asto service rendered andthe econ- in the household. The schedule sentto employes asked as to birthplace, ttumber of years em- ployed and wages received. That sent to teachers and others made inquiries as to w ages and cost of living. The replies received showed that compe- tent cooks were better paid—tne cost of living ‘being taken into consideration—than the majority of teachers, but the advantages the latter position were better social positio and more opportunity for advancement. In her lecture on the hisforic aspects, Prof. Salmon called attention to the Causes that had sent to our shores the larger number of those who work in our kitchens- The famine in Ireland gave the first impetus to emigra- |tion from that country. The German revolu- tion in 1838 and the treaty with China in 1848 sent many more to this country, a large:num- ber of whom were women. Attention was called to the difficulty of easily assimillating into the household those of different nation- alities, religions, and social customs, The establishment of factories in this country afforded a new field for the employ- ment of woman’s labor and improved the condition of domestic servants by increasing the demand, and thus causing an increase in wages. Reform in domestic service must be accom. plished along the general economic lines, as are reforms in other departments of labor. It must be the result of evolution from present conditions, not a special creation. Training-schools have failed for lack of pesronage: the unskilled servant finding that she could command as high wages @8 many who were more competent. Co-Operative housekeeping is merely co-operative board. ing, and had not proved a success. Co-oper- ative laundries would do much to Clear the domestic skies by taking the most disagree. able work out of the house and making one girl — in families where two are now oyed. The most important means of settling the question of domestic se&vice must be to put household employments on, the same busi- ness basis as other industries. The progress of the times, as shown in the products of the best bakeries, woman's exchanges, laundries, ints to the true solution of the ques- y taking many of the servants out of the house to do elsewhere a large part Of the work now done b Nearly ds of t the they will spend th Capt, Oaryell, Mrs, Oarvell and Mrs, George. days.

Saturday for: CURIOUS CASES WHICH HAVE OCCURRED UNDER A PECULIAR LAW. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. PaRIsS, April 27.—The question of divorce is DdDecoming more and more prominent in France as the cases thereof go on multiply- ing indefinitely... A rather curious result is this in a Catholiccountry, since the Catholic Church has formally and firmly enunciated its decision that ‘‘under no circumstances can the church recognize divorce.’* Neither does it recognize the civil marriage, which ts the only one consicered legal by the laws of France. A man and woman may be married at St. Peter’s in Rome or at the Cathedralat Milan by an Archbishop or a Cardinal, and in the eyes of French law, they will be no more married thanif they had dispensed with ali form or ceremony whatever. This fact, too littie known in the United States, has been the cause of sore heart- break and infinite desolation toa good many American girls, who, having espoused Frenchmen in their native land, have come to Paris to reside, only to find af- ter their dowry has been squandered, and their beauty faded, that they have no. legal hold whatever on the men that they haa wedded, and that their children, in the eyes of the law, were illegitimate. How many of these doleful cases have come to the cognizance ofthe American officials in Paris it is impossible to conjecture. And there is nothing to be done for ths poor wronged wife, except to send her and her children back to her relatives in the United States, . she by the laws of America not being free to marry again while, by § those of France, her husband can form another matrimonial alliance as soon as he chooses. IT BECOMES POPULAR. When firstthe law of divorce was estab- lished in France, it was looked upon unfav- orably by the upper classes of society. For the first two or three years it was appealed to, simply to change certain cases of separa- tion of long years’ standing into absolute freedom. But gradually the new remedy for conjugal unhappinéss was found to be convenient. Several couples belong: ing to the highest aristocracy had recourse to it. Instances increased and multiplied with every succeeding year, till now divorce is as accepted an institution in France as is matrimony itself. This was a conclusion to be anticipated in view cf the ugual type of French marriages. When two people are joined togethersimply as a matter of business, with no element of affection’ or even of congeniality in their union, the drifting apart of the husband and wife thus mated is by no means a sur- prising result. The intervention of the church produces in France complications, or rather culiari- ties, unknown on the other side of the Atlan- tic. A Catholic pair may, if not joined by any religious ceremony but by the civil one, merely bind themselves fully sanctioned in a second union after divorce by the religious authorities. Acasein point has just taken place in Paris. A young society beauty sued her spouse for a divorceand obtained it. The husband, being a_ free-thinker, had ob- jected to supplementing the civil ceremony b a religious one and his bride had consented to the omission. Under those circumstances the UCatholic Church refused to consider them as married at all. Consequently, when the divorced wife wished to marry again, she found all the ecclesiastical authorities ready and will- ing to bless her second nuptials, so she is even ‘‘more married’’ than she was at first. INFREQUENT DISPENSATIONS, It is possible for wealthy people to obtain a dispensation from Rome for the annull- ing of their matrimonial the process is a costly one, tring the ex- penditure of some $20, It isa very tedious. There is a host of formalities to be fulfilled, and a series of investigations and counter investigations which takes up an intolerable degree of time and which eat up a large amount of ert The influence of some powerful intervention will frequently hasten it. Such was the case with the decree that annulled the union of Prince Albert of Morocco and Lady Mary Hamilton, both par- ties having since married again. Such too was the process by which the Princess de Scey-Montpeliard (Miss Winnaretta Singer) obtained her freedom, Such a decree amounts to something more than an ordinary divorce, being a total annihilation of the marriage, This costly and complicated method of deal- ing with obnoxious matrimonial ties has ex- isted from time immemorial, Dut as it was only within the reach of royaity or riches it modified but little the triais of intole- rable types of matrimony. parties partea by the orms of -divorce are held by the Church as rebels against ber authority, and a6 Living, in consequence, ina state of mortal sin. re ya DE PERIGORD’S DIVORCE.

LOUIS. ¢ — There iga lady who hascarried her name into almost every household in the United States by the worksof her pen. Everybody reads her writings every lady praises it and everyboay humbly confesses that the senti- ments expressed have done them good. author is Mrs. Bottome, President of the Order’ of the King’s Daughters. Her style is simple and pithy, but orna- mented with attractive trinkets of language. She preachesa monthly sermon in a very unsermoniike manner. Perhaps the best ' tribute to the excellence of her lectures is the s to the contrery. On the morning of Jdn. 13, 1886, a company Seateens of men to read them, despite in- . Of ten women met atthe residence of Mrs. ~ - : to be e,in New York City, for the purpose of forming ‘‘An outward union to embody the union of spirit already born of God.’’ In the language of Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson, 80 well known through verses from her gifted and her connection with the ‘‘Snut **ondother societies: ‘‘After consiera- tion of the good to be gained, and the good to be done by binding themselves together by @ triple cord, whose strands were Faith, Hope and Love, they decided to organize themselves intoan order, or sisterhood of service, hoping by this closer union to in- crease their usefulness many fold.’’ The mame chosen for the new order was ‘‘The King’s Daughters.’’ The badge decided upon was a ribbon of royal purple, to be worn with or without the Mal- tese cross. Atthis first meeting Mrs. Bot- tome was elected President, and Mrs. Dickin- Bon Vice-President, and they still retain these respective positions in the larger order of the King’s Daughters and Sons. The enh the new society was marvelous. ithin a yearits members numbered more than sixty thousand, although no effort was made to advertise the order or its work. Never was less said by the originators of any work. Yet from almost every State of the Union, and from over the _ sea, come the questions as tothe significance of the new order, and asking of its methods and per sesand hopes, until to-day certainly : sthan 800,000S80ns and Daughters of the King are pledged to gervice ‘‘in His mame.’*’ There is nothing aggressive inthe order; it wages no warfare save with sorrow or suffering. Its innermost thought is; ‘‘to oe sllentiy and steadily upon man earts, doing its biessed work with no herald and no piaudit.’’ order was auly incorporated, and with **In His Name’’as the watchword, the or- ganization has gone forward in its work. There are in Missouri! about twenty circles weg bey eter Mrs. Bottome, the dent, is the dominant personality of the order. Her ‘*drawing-room Bible readings.’’ which had become a feature of Christian work in ‘‘wickeda’’ New York before the or- eee ge ofthe order, have 50 increased in nterest thatthey are now given in the hall ofthe Y. W. C. A. in that city. It is noe wonder the ladies of St. Louis, and the King’s Daughters especially, are desirous to have her stop a few days\in this city on her way tothe annual assembly of the Cumber- land Presbyterian Church. Itisthe custom every year to have some prominent woman attend the assembly and deliver an address. They evidently think that there is some trut in Hugo’s dictum that ‘‘the nineteenth century is woman’s century,’’ even if the statement in its entirety must be taken cum grano. Mrs. Margaret RBottome and Miss Frances FE. Willard,lresident of the .C. T. U. willattend the assembly this ear, which meets at Pertle Springs Aug. 24, , 26. Both ladies have objections to travel- ingon Sunday and their st. Louls sisters hope to have them reach the city about Aug. 19 and remain until Aug. 23. But if the ladies ao not delay at =t. Louls the King’s Daughters of Missouri will do honor to Mrs. Rottome of Pertie Springs, for they have decided to hold their first annual con- vention there coincident with the Assembly. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church hasa summer camp at Pertie Springs. A Chat With a Humane Society Lady. Saida member of the Woman’s Humane Society last week: **We ladies would like to begof individuals when they see cases of cruelty and suffering, asacommonactof humanity, to notify the society that suffering may be allayed and justice done. It seems almost incredible, yet itis a sorrowful fact, that in these days of civilza- tion, a horse after long and faithful service should be turned out to die; and pass througn the trouble ordeal of starvation right under the of hundreds of passers ° the case last week at Sullivanand Eliiot avenues, in plain view of the Mound City electric cars, opposite a tannery and other places of active industry, where pedestrians pass hourly and the police are supposed to patrol. The animal was cast out, unable to rise through weakness, and lay for Gays in untold tortures ‘from gnats and fies until thirst and starvetion brought the pitiful life to a close. The horse had struggied torise until the ground was torn Up many feet aboutit. Finally a gentleman, chance passer-by, saw it and notified the dies. An officer was sent immediately, but the horse was dead. Will not individuals ease remember there is a remedy for all is, a society to look after such things; that the ladies have an officer who will respond to the call when needed; that their office is 814 Chestnut street and their telephone 859.’’ The regular meeting of the Woman’s Hu- Mane Society will be heldat the Lindell as usual to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock.

A class for such is. contemplated, meeting, per- haps, on Saturday afternoon when the ‘‘haif- holiday’’ isin full blast. A lady of the club who has the matter very much at heart has been conversing among the girls and finds the idea quite a taking one. This club meets every Wednesday after- noon at the Guild room of the Church of the tecture inthe West.

In order to raise the necessary funds a grand concert will te given in Grand Music Halli on June 6.

The managers and well ishers of the Home are anxiousto have the new structure somgnes and ready for occupancy inthe all. The building fund ts not so large as it should be, and the ladies who are at the head of the institution are desirous of receivinga few generous contributions to the fundto give them a good start on the new Home, For twenty-four years the institution has had its doorg open fororphan children, and many have crossed the threshold to finda good home, The W. C. T. U. Meeting. The regular district Woman’s Christian Temperance Union meeting was held yester- day afternqgon. Nothing of importance out- side of regular routine business was trans- acted. The President Jenied the truth ofa statement in a morning paper that Mrs. Hoff- man, in a lecture delivered in Springfield, O., denounced thé Union soldiers. Her father and relatives were all Union men and strong anti-slavery people. The speaker stated Rev. Mr. Stewart of California was present and ve a very interesting address. He said that there were only 50 organized Protestant churches in San Francisco and 4,559 saloons, and almost every grocery store Sells liquors. In the smaller towns in California, to two or three. hundred people there were 10 or i2 saloons,or a proportion of one saloon to every 13 voters, FASHIONS IN PARIS. Sent by an Observant Writer in the Gay French City. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Paris, April 27.—The proud reign of the shirt waist has begun. The spring girl has adopted it as herown. It is faunted in the windows, on the boulevards, in the gardens, in the house, and to doit justice itis always chic and refreshing to look upon. Some women will De giad to know thatit ts less mannish than was the style of last year. It has a starched front, but there is usually a fall of lace or embroidery, which gives it a touch of femininity. The **Sun Drop’’ is the latest novelty. It is made of percale, with starched collar and cuffs and a loose-fitting dotted Swiss front.: In pink and blue these shirts are decidedly fetching. The starched linen ‘-alsts, with the front a mass of tiny tucks, are also very popular. Each tuck is embroidered with feather stitching and vari- colored waists of pink, blue and ecru have the stifiness broken by a frill of the material down the front. Flowered lawns make the daintiest things ofthe kind, Silk shirts, white and colored, will be as much worn as they were. last year. The accessories of the shirt waist are legion. In the first place, the diamond- shaped cuff must be worn. These come in stiff linen, with dots of various colors. The turn-down collar is most in favor, and large, soft silk bows form the tie, The studs should be flowered to match the waist pattern and the silk sash has wholly taken the place of its leather cousin. It differs also from the Gor- don belt of last year, being wider, laid in + rhea folds and finishing with a bow on the side, During Lent the fashionable glove reformed and appeared only in the soft, subdued sbades. But since Easter gloves have grown frivolousiy gay. Scarlet suede gloves are seen, and as if this were not enough the eye is dazzled by a gold embroidered cuff. Light pink gauntiets with jeweled cuffs, yellow gloves with a cuff of solid jet, light biue with silver butterflies embroidered upon them are among the mildest fads in this line, The plain sleeve is no more. Even the morning sleeve has sOme Odd little wrinkle to giveit adressy effect. The morning sieeve shown in the cut is of tan-colored tweed, | which wrinkles from the shoulder to the elbow. The deep cuff is buttoned with gilt buttons and ornaments with narrow rows of gilt cord, The demi-tollette sleeve is a crea- tion of violet chiffon. Atthe top is an intro- duction of dark purple velvet and velvet bands have been put where they will dothe most good. The evening sleeve is of white lace, out- lined with sparkling jet, arranged in a loose uff and edged at the elbow with a band of lack velvet. Narrow black velvet ribbon is dra about the top Of the sleeve and forms a jaunty bow. tere, Bons fur boa has been compelled to seek refuge on the sheit the liberty scarf has These scarfs are of soft changeable shades and are tina most effective and more ar- aroha! covered with pink silk. A spray of pink roses and green leaves is laid uponthe hat, the roses being caught here and there with rib- bon. Forthe summerthe lacecape is the gar- ment withouta rival. An exquisite cape is of black Chantilly lace, three-quarter length. Fan-shaped epaulettes cap each shoulderand hoops of black ribbon come fromthe shirred collar and extend in long streamers down the frontof the garment. Attachedto the two points of the cape are clusters of ribbon loops and ends, Anexqulsite evening gown worn afare- cent reception was of white satin, witl nds of hand-embroidered honeysuckle, The same trimming was used on the ice, which was draped with crepe lisse. The train of the costume was of bronze-green satin, lined with pale pink silk. Black silk-striped gauze is a novelty of the season. The silk stripes give the effect of tiny narrow ribbons run through the ma- terial. Anotherevening gown was of white silk, profusely trimmed with silK and the ola- fashioned floral spraysin which our grand- mothers delighted, A wide velvet sash com- of the ir of slender steel legs let themselves own from somewhere to support the front of the portfolio, which —— to be the shelf esk. At back o igeon-holes, boxes, and all kinds of conven- ences for holding things, together with ink- stands, pencils, rulers, calendar, and all the other equipments ofa reliable desk. Inthe top of the easel frame is also set a tiny clock, like the watches set in ladies’ bracelets, only larger. Another easol of the same design lets down into a dressing table, with much pale blue ee and a large beveled mirror, and many brushes, boxes and all kinds of appliances develop. CREPES AND CREPONS. Something About the Popular Oloths and How They Are Made, Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. The wrinkle of crape is produced by mak- ing the weft, ana sometimes the warp also, of twisted threads, every alternate group of threads being twisted in the reverse direc- tion. The threads so arranged are loose, that is with space between them, and when the fabric is completed they untwist, each in its own direction, which givesa surface of uniform irregularity. Twisting warp and weft makes the most perfect crape. If the weft only be twisted, and the warp straight, the weft threads will push up and down the warp, making a less durable fabric. When the twist is in the weft only there Is elasticit across the goods, and when twisted bot ways it is elastic both ways. The result of this weaving Is a surface of broken lights and shadows; a surface that re- fiects less light thanif smooth, and absorbs much. Such a surface permits color to be seen to advantage, and crapes are especially beautiful in rich colors suited to them, as vivid red. Oriental cra , the most beautiful in the world, are of silk, or of mixed silk and cot- ton. When of part cotton they are cheaper, but there is no vulgar attempt to conceal the cotton, but it is kept frankly on the surface, are twisted. It is so sheer and soft that no one would dream it is not all silk. Japanese Kanka crape, white with hair line of color has straight warp of silk and twisted weft of cotton. It is semi-transparent, as if the warp were of spun glass. A French crape is twisted only in the weft, the weft threads being of silk and cotton, alternating regu- larly to produce a checkered effect. What is known as mourning crepe is nota crape weave. Its wrinkled surface is made by stiffening gauze and pressing it on a matrix. One ofthe most difficult questions ofthe hour to reply to is ‘‘Which is the fashionable fabric?’’ With a measure of truth I an- swer that its name is legion. Over in Paris, if report tells truly, it iscrepon in divers hases, while bothin London and here the onors are between rough, hairy cloth smooth-face cloth, vigogne, and Bedford cord. As for patterns, they are as varied as artand nature in combDination can make them. Some partake ofa Japanese style of ornamentation, with oe which merge into each other inan indescribable manner, and spotsare infinitesimal. SilKs are also figured in an indistinct way, and silk is returning to favor in allitsformer glory; and as for biack satin, it bids fair to be the court favorite of Queen Fashion. This will of a certainty hor- rify the followers of Delsarte, who liken the charms ofa Diack satin dress to those of a polished stove. Soft, thin makes of silk will continue in favor for blouses, sleeves and the like, while shot-silks are too pretty to be given up. Some of the new patterns in tweed have dif- ferént colors interwoven ina border, which is used for the foot of the skirt. Anexample, and a most successful one, isa heliotrope di- agonal shot with dull green and bordered with solid black. Three and four colors are to be combined in One costume, and absolute contrasts areinorder. Fancy a le yellow crepe draped over hyacinth blue, with dell- cate pink facings, and bordered with a che- nille rucheof dull green.

FRIENDS OF THE CONVICT VIEW THE - CORPSE AT CHICAGO. ‘There Was No Trickery, the Coffin Con- tained the Remains of the Dead Ice- man, One of the Cronin Conspirators— He Made No Confession, But Died With Sealed Lips. Ontcaco, ll., May 7.—The body of Patrick ©’Sullivan, thejCronin convict, was to-day taken to Monroe, Wis., the old home, for the | burial. There in the little country chapel a last service will be held over the remains and in the adjoining graveyard, O’Sullivan will be laid in bis last resting- place with his fathef and mother, who departed from this life long * before their son became an inmate of the penitentiary at Joliet, where he died. At noon the Milwaukee & St. Paul train, bearing the body and immediate iriends of the dead man, pulled out of the Union Depot. Its schedule time was 1:15, Dut a few minutes’ Golay occurred atthe depot, an hour before a doven carriages anda hearse drove up to the humbie dwelling of Mrs. Whalen, 5 Bos; avenue, Lakeview, where O’Sullivan , lis home before the murder of Dr. Cronin. Michael Whalen and five of his friends lifted the casket from the hearse and those z to the depot entered the carviages. A ew flowers sent by those who have faith in the convict’s protestation of Innocence were laid on the coffin, That was ali. There was no ceremony. In the rear of the little house stood the Carlson cuttage just as it looked three years avo when Dr. Cronin drew his last breath within its Goors. Everything combined to make the removal of the dead ae sad and sorrowful sight, the absence of all ceremony added to the solemnity of the proceedings, and it Was truly a erief-stricken party of friends that fol lowed the body to the depot. Henry and Annie O’8ullivan, brother and sister of the , and Mr.,and Mrs. Thomas Whalen and Michael Whalen, accompanied by a few intimate friends, went with the body to Monroe. Ofthe insinuation that the body in the casket waspot that of the convicted mur- derer, Mrs. Whalen simply said: ‘‘I would to God it was so; but you know him. Look for yourself.’’ There could be no mistake, ‘ the haggard features of the dead were un- mistakably those of Patrick O’sullivan, who sat throughout that famous trial before Judge McConnell and listened to the decree of the Court sending him toalife worse than death. Tt was decided yesterday that anything approaching a public funeral would be im- proper, and the last ‘ceremony will be pr'!- vate. Requiem mass will be celebrated in the country chapel where ©’Sullivan attended church with his mother,after which the body will be quietly placed in the graye t.-morrow afternoon. While the remains were lying in the parlor of Mrs. Whalen’s home, hundred’s of the ice- man’s old associates passed through the room totake a last look at the face they had known ia iffe, Then they sauntered and stood about in groups on the sidewalk, talking over the fate of O'Sullivan, whose life sentence In the penitentiary was short after all. The Frenciscan monk who attended O’Sul- livan and gave him absolution in the prison says he made nocontfession of thecrime. The fate of Coughlan and Burke is settied by the death of O’Sullivan. The latter’s appeal died with him, All sorts of rumors are afloat regarding the way the Olan-Na-Gael sealed O’Sullivan’s ote by og Lawyers, priests and physicians, said to members of the Clan, were about the bedside of the dying man to prevent a : superstitious will find plenty of material for a mission of proselyt- ism in the death of Patrick O’fullivan. fince the conviction of O’Sullivan, Coughlin end Burke two and a half years avo, anc their gpentence to life yg ~~ gt at Joliet for the murder of Dr, Cronin, thirteen of the rincipals and witnesses in the great trial ave passed away. Of these nine were act- ively identified with the defense and four were witnesses for the State. Of the nine ae Pay four met death in horrible and unusual form. PURSUED BY FATE. They were Peter sicGeehan, a Philacelphia wo 4 % , whovame to Chieagoon a mys- terious errand just before the murder. Dr. Cronin met him on the street the last week in April, 158, and charged him with being an of the Olan-na Gael. McGeehan out of sight and was not seen He then ob- then antilafter the murder.

On the night of May 4, hardly two weeks after the contract was made a messenger did call for Dr. Cronin, and, what is more, this messenger handed the doctor one of Iceman O’Sullivan’s cards, It was this messenger who drove Cronin to his death, and it was this little card that led to the arrest and con- viction of O’Sullivan, Whoever that myste- rious messenger was, hehas doubtless been roundly cursed by his masters since then for his stupidity in allowing the doctor to retain the card. He probably thought that the doctor would slip itintoone of his pockets, but he didn’t. , before leaving his office Dr. Cronin laid the card on a side table, where it was afterward found. HARD OF HEARING. The Mcinern girls swore to the visit of the messenger ana the presenting of the cara, and te card itself was asilent but effective witness against O'Sullivan. Another thing which excited suspicion was that O’Sullivan, an avowed adherent of the anti-Cronin fac- tion, should seek outand enlist the profes- sional services of the very man he and his friends were fighting. There is a man in this city, a close friend to O’Sullivan, who asserts that the latter had often declared to him that he was the catspaw ofa band of mur- derers who had roped him into the plot on the false pretense that it was only in- tended to give Cronin a sound drubbing and then scare him out of town. Butasifallthis were not enough Landlord Carison swore on the trial tothe frequent meetings of the iceman with the two men who hired the cottage where the murder was done. Then there was the incfiminating fact thatthe death blowson Dr. Cronin’s head were undoubtedly made with a pair of ice tongs; that the murder took place about 8 o’clock ona spring night before anybody in the neighborhood had getired and the noise was sO great that the Carlsons were frightened, but the iceman and his helpers and relatives who lived equally close to the scene didn’t hear anything. WHO DIRECTED THE MURDER. The mystery in the Cronin case is entirely as to who directed and managed the murder. Thereis no secret as to the cause of it. Cronin had charged and proven that one or two men high in authority in the Clan-na- Gael were making hundreds of thousands of dollars out of Ireland’s misfortunes. These men were advocates of physical force and were continually raising money for what they called ‘‘secret work.’’ Subscribers were given tounderstand by a wink that the money was to be used in blowingup England. The real programme was as lows: A patriot willing to chances in Ireland’s behalf would be approached with an offer to go to Engiand on a dynamite mission and given assurance thatincase anything happened to him his family would be handsomely provided for. The patriot would then be given a thousand dollars or so and a packaxe of dynamite and sent to London or Liverpool with instruc- tions to call ata given address, where he would receive more explicit directions. In every case the British pvlice got information by cable about the sailing of the dynamiter, and the poor devil would be either arresteu the moment he set foot on English soll or allowed to remain at Mhiberty under close surveillance until the evidence against him was more complete, when he wouid be convicted and sent to prison fortwenty years or more and sometimes to the gallows. WOODRUFF THE COXFESSOR. There is one feature of the case which the lice have never attempted to explain and hat is the connection of Frank Woodruf, **the confessor,’’ with it. under arrestfor some time, butthe police finaliy affected to bellevethat he was lying and knew nothing of the murder,so they contented themselves with sending him to the penitentiary for horse-stealing. The fact is Woodruff told a story which of itself proves thathe must have known something of the crimeand which isnow accounted for by a detective, who is still working on the case, in Woodruff was! NEWS OF THE STAGE. EVENTS OF THE CLOSING THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL SEASON. Fanny Davenport’s Elaborate Production ot “Cleopatra’’ at the Grand—The Olympic’s Final Engagement of the Liliputians—Remenzi’s Visit--Ooulisse Chat. ofthe engagement of the Liliputians, Mr. 0. W. Woodrow, the efficient assistant treas- urer of the Olympic, will receive a testimonial benefit. The attraction and the popularity of the young man should make the audience of that night a notabie one. - > . Itis not, perhaps, giving Fanny Daven- port’s production of Sardou’s ‘‘Cleopatra,’’ which comes to the Grand this week, higher praise than it merits to say that it has never been excelled as a setting foratragedy. It Js the result of a careful study of the mode /of life, dress, architecture and decoration of fhe period of the play embodied in a series of pictures upon which money and artistic labor have been lavishly expended. The staging and costuming are exceedingly rich, striking and correct, while the scenic effects are most realistic. Although the pro- duction has been seen here it is perhaps worth while to recapitulate its salient features. The first act shows the Roman tribune at Tarsus in the foreground, with the Cyndus River in all its tropical luxuriance in the per- spective. Antony is waiting for Cleopatra, who ust account to Rome for ber alleged league with Brutus at Philippi. The Egypt- lan rebels stand before the tribune awaiting their Queen. Soona slave announces the ar- rival of Cleopatra, and the golden galley and silk-spangled sail of the Egyptian Queen burst on the vision of Antony and his officers and court. Antony im- mediately becomes enamored of Cleopatra and frees her countrymen held as slaves as an earnest of hislove. The next scene shows the Palace of Ramesis, a beautiful set, warm and rich in tropical scenery and architecture. The progress of Antony’s love and the dubious outlook in consequence thereof are told. ; The third act shifts to Memphis, in which Is presented a beautiful terrace, airy Syrian arches, lofty columns ana hangings. In this act the messenger sent by Cleopatra to Rome returns and describes Octavia, Cesar’s sis- ter, who becomes the flancee of Antony for political rea sons. The palace of Actium is the scene of the fourth act. In the background is the Gulf of Asia. Cleopatra is concealed ina canopy and forced to listen to a love scene between Antony andhis bride Octavia. itis just before the battie of Actium and the dlis- graceful rout of Antony by the now hostile enemy Octavius. Cleopatra’s and Antony’s allied forces are to fight the valorous Cesar. Before the Temple of Isis the next act is laid. Itisinthis act that Cleopatra implores Ty- phon, the go1of storms, to huri forth from his thunderous artillery in the heavens a bolt that willlay levelthe enemy. This realistic scene is one of the fine’t ever seen on the American stage. The final act discloses Cleopatra in the ante- chamber at her palace in Alexandra. Itis after the rout of Antony. Octavius Cmsar is victor. Mark Antony staggers on, stabbed, and dies in the arms of the Queen. The sui- cide of Cleopatra follows. With alive asp wriggling on her bosomand Antony’s name on her lips she expires. The production is more ofaseries of spec- tacles illustrating the loves of Antony and Cleopatra than a tragic play, butit is inter- esting, and presented in a capable manner by Miss Davenport, Mr. McDowell and their sup- porting company. The engagement will open to-morrow evening. - a = The demand for seats for the final engage- mentof the Liliputiansat the Olympic indl- cates thatthere isno diminution in the re- markable popularity of thisattraction. The record of these clever litttle folks in this city, and in factall overthe country, has been unparalleled. There seems to.be no limit to their power to please young and nla. Their performance, however, in addition to the curiosity attaching to the work of midz- ets possesses —— merit. The individual work of the diminutive actors is clever and amusing, and their agg 4 have ali been pro- duced inan elaborate, handsome and tnaor- oughly attractive manner. The attraction for the opening week of their engagement at the Olympic will be the following Interesting way: ‘*For several days after Dr. Cronin’s disap- pearance on the night of May 4, 1889, nothing was known of his fate beyond the fact that he had been driven away from his office by a man witha white horse. Just at the time when the whole police force of Chicago was on. a hunt for white horses and mys- terious-looking strangers Frank Wood ruff drives over to the West Side with a white horse and makes an effort to sellit right under the nose of Capt. O’Donnell for a ridicuiously small price. Of course he attracted attention, and was arrested, and you will see before i get through my tale that this was just what he wanted.

Another man, who, he said, was called ‘Doc,’ packed the body in the Spa ‘lew, He described the man called ‘Doc’ exactly as Dr. Cronin looked and even mentioned that he had a bruise under the left eye and was growing a small goatee. Both of these marks were denied by the doctor’s friends, but when the doctor’s body was found on May 22, the goatee and bruise were there just as Woodruff said. Then he told about the drive to Lakeview and traced the route taken. As was afterward proven it was almost identical with that of the wagon in which Dr. Cronin’s body was taken away from the Carison cottage. Next Woodruff told about the wagon being stopped andthe trunk lifted out by the roadside, where it was broken open and the girl’s body taken out. The trunk was hidden in the bushes and the corpse was carried away by ‘Doc’ andthe other man toward the lake, while Woodruff, who had been well paid fur his work, drove back to town. Now, the startling fact about this is that the trunk was found retty close to the spot he named and that he had a closer and better description of Dr. Cronin than the latter’s best friends had.

7 Values Dull—Items of Interest to the _. Trade. “Will wheat bull? The question asked at ‘head of this column last Sunday, was in the affirmative by a 8c ad- inone Gday—Thursday, when July sold at 67sec and Aug. 81%c. Most of this gain in walue was lost on the following day, but allied again yesterday and closed pretty firm at 6ic for July, which was i'ec above the preceding Saturday’s close. It was the weather that proved the most potent factor. And such weathur! Rain, rain, rain all over the country and rain, snow, hail, freezing _ gold all over the Northwest. The already de- Jayed seeding in North Dakota and Northern Minnesota was thrown back still farther, until now it is not a question of when - seeding will be finished, but how much can be fin- fished? South Dakota and Southern and Cep- tral Minnesota are all right and have an in- creased acreage put in spring wheat, but morth of these sections very little seed has been put in, and, if all reports are to be be- lieved, a much smaller acreage than last year will be the result of the extremely backward spring of thisseason. The conditions in that extreme northwest section of this country are about as follows, according to intelligence geceived from trustworthy sources: Last fall the farmers of North Dakota were so late with harvesting of the unusually heavy crops raised in ’91 that they were unable to pare the ground for their spring seed- before winter set in. They even coyld not harvest all their last year wheat crop, a large quantity of which was carried in the stack or shock all winter. Since spring , or was supposed to have opened, the weather has been so generally unseasonable that farm work was made practically impos- gible most of the time. Now it is said if Dakota gets in 50 per cent of last year’s acreage it will do well, though with favor- able weather from now on 75 per cent Is pos- gible, ‘*‘But,’’ writes one party from the Red River Valley, ‘‘this is sucha wonderful coun- try and the results from its crops so surpris- ing that if North Dakota this year raises as much wheat as last year no one need be tly surprised. These Northwest condl- ns have given the markets their pres- t bull turn, the light movementto market at especially of winter wheat,having prov- a sore ww yt TE to those who looked for increased receipts when spring opened, and the decreasing supplies heiping etren mn the long side materially. The result is seen in the number of erstwhile bears now converted tothe bullside.

It must be conceded that just at present the bulls have the pull, what with the Northwest situation and the decreasing supplies. They are now talking of unfavorable crop symptoms Holland, Belgium, Germany and Hungary, to which seem- gly this country pays more heed than does rope, if the dull and declining foreign mar- “--''@erg are an indication, and the fact that Russia has some troops on the Austrian fron- tier is dwelt upon as an alarming circum- stance just now, when the fact is these troops have beentherefor months.

A week ago it began to look as if the trade was getting into position 86 buy more freely, as the sentiment has been grow- ing that flour had about reached the bottom, but the slightiv high eee asked has axejn cut down the demand to small proportions, The*tusiness of the week was at close figures, and millers generally are working at A disadvantage in the fact that they find it exceedingly difficult to get wheat. Infact, flour milling has become so un- profitable, and the product isso difficult to dispose of that most mills have shut down in the past few days. Itis said that there are now only three mills running out of all located here and in East St. Louis. There was only a light scattering domestic trade, and foreign markets remain in a very list- less state, with little and no disposition to anticipate wants. Liverpool stocks of flour increased 20,000 sks during A : Something entirely new in the way of solic freight has been inaugurated by the ocean steamship lines. Up to one month ago only one of the great demand by a permanent agent, while at present there are five located here, with more tofoliow. This is very sie- nificant and shows that St. Louis is growing in im- portance. The receipts of flour during the week were smaller, amounting to 24,141 bbls, against 25,- 750 the week a sry shipments, larger, nowever, aggregating 34,715 bbis, as compdtred to 29,929 the week previous. ‘‘he output was 38,660 bbis, against 36, last week, ® al Cotton has been very dull during the past week. While prices show but little improvement, only five Seagees advance being established as compared with he quotations one week ago in futures at New York. the market shows great strength and power of re- sistance to all the unfavorableinfluences. The great strength is more noticeable inthe firmness of spots atall the interior points. Now that the strike of the English cotton operatives is practically settied should the Government report of the 10th inst. con- firin the reports of reduced acreage or even approxi- mate those of private advices @ marked improve- ment in prices is ailmostcertain. Thereisno doubt thet ai large professional short interest exists in the New York market; while the bears have been taking advantage of the large premium and successfully too, for the past season. there is noth- ing to prevent them from iosing the profits of the entire season, at least it is possible for them to do so in a very short time should the acreage be reduced toany considerable extent. At all events cotton seems to have had allthe depressing influences that it was possible for itato have and all the accidents thatcan happen will be in favor of higher prices. a 7. - The John Wahl Commission Co. review the situa- tion iniead as follows: Lead presents no novelty. Whilst the general undercurrent during the past week has been rather easier sellers have shown 10 special anxiety to unload, and the fact of the matter stillis, viewing the situation of lead from @ statis- tical standpoint, the amount of availiable iead insight for May and June is not sufficiently large to cause producers to deviate to any material extent from their course pursued during the past month, name.y, to sell only when full market rates are obtainable, to force no metal on the market and oaly to fill hungry gaps from time to time. We quote lead nominally 4.07\ec for either May or June, and as far as we can ascertain no metal can be had below that. Among consumers a fair trade is reported, but manufacturers, asa rule, an- ticipate rather lower than higher prices and appear to manifest a spirit of findifference}to buy on any liberal scale and apparently prefer to allow them- selves to be sapeliee for the present only for their current and near by requirements. So, under exist- ing circustances, lead might temporarily be consid- ered in a state of inertia, withafair chance to cun- tinue in its dormancy during the ensuing week. Chat From ‘Change.

Another potable circum- stance in conrection with these indiau shipments is the fact thatthe Continent is credited with half of the amount, whereas heretofore the United Kingdom has been the principal or only buyer of Indian wheat. > . 7 Regarding the wheat outlook in California anda ocean grain freights ou the Pacitic coast. the San Francisco Commercial of April 22 says: ‘‘Facts so far shew thatthe extreme South is suffering from lack of moisture andthe North hopes no more will be received.

There is not in the produce quarters of the city a driver better known than George Keane. e was driving forsome of the commission houses before some of his competitors were born. Although George has passed his three-score years he is yet aslively and active as a man of 25 years. fir. Keane and his old white horse were making money fast twenty-five years ago hauling for P. M. Kiely and also for W. W. Judy & Co. and he has now something handsome to rest on in his declining years. Like all men, George has some weaknesses. He makes as much noise and ex- citement on the block at times as a section of the fire department. However, Mr. Keane's greatest weak- ness is his love of fresh eggs. His long experience around the commission houses has taught Aim that the freshest eggs are those found occasionally among the hens in the coops, and he casts a sly giance at the imprisoned flocks when he is passing. George reaches in between the slats and secures the egg-—sucking two or three while they were yet warm and fresh from the factory. He cracks the shell and sucks the contents, es on his wagon and is off. Two or three of Otto Vadker’s menon Wednesday took advantage of George's ap- petite for fresh hen fruit and inserted twv over-ripe eggs among the chickens, and sure enough George's eagie eye rested on the beauties a few minutes later and one of them was hurriedly disposed of in the usual way—but most of the egg was past recalling be- fore the victim discovered the vallinnoes taste and sinell it bore and it is safe to say that Mr. Keane will examine them more carefully in the future and thus avuid a repetition of the foregoing. _ = > The fact has been demonstrated this season that auctioneering Florida oranges is not going to do the xrowers or deaiers any good when the crops are large, says the Philadelphia Confectioners’ Journal.

If you say. why dof? the car lot buyers cleanup the small lines, the reason is we cannot fill largé orders with miscellaneous lots. If the commission men had them they could work outtheir full value, make a good commission and be satisfied. With a short crop and a good market anybody can rattle off frait to the best bidder. It is a market such as we had this spring and winter that requires brain work. The Journal adds that the reason why large auction-houses can successfuily handie the Mediterranean business is that *‘they virtually own it by making iarge aa- vances and drawing the lines of credits very ciose.’’ * + ° The following from the Purchasing Agent applies very nicely to the country order trade of every com- mission merchant in the iand: ‘ Never write simply, ‘**Goods in bad order,’’ or **spoiled,’’ or make any similar remarks as ‘*what shail we do with them?’’ but state distinctiy where- in the damage or spolling consists; always remember that your shipper nay have somebody back of him to whom he has to report promptiy and accurately Never hold an entire shipment * ‘subject to order,’’ when only a part is claimed as ‘*bad,’’ but report simply on such as you may consider unmerchant- abie. Never return goods which are not considered u to sample; orin badorder, butsetthem aside and oak the shipper fora disposition of them. Hemay be able to resell them where they are and save himseif double freight and cartage charges, Do not neglect to take the best possible care of goods held ‘*‘subject to order’’ while they are in your possession until disposed of by owner. The law demands it, and besides it is a simple act of courtesy on your part, and does not cost one cent additional. Never throwaway goods until after you write of your complaint and have instructions to do so, as the shipper may desire their return. = . . The dangers a commission man is exposed to. even in the quietline of duty around his store, are but poorly understood. Mr. Hart, of the Hart Commis- sion Co , gota barrel of grease from one of his cus- tomers last week, and soon after itsetruck the side- walk the receiver undertook tosampleit. An augur was procured and Mr. Hart was industriously and patiently engaged in the work of i »boring 4 hoie ior some time afterwards. While dotng so a large number of wool men and hide dealers which abound in that section were attracted tothe borer to witness the outcome. Finally the tip of the auger struck the heavily charged contents, and almostan explosion followed. The grease flew out like waterirom a fireman’s nozzle, andthe crowd flew in every direction. A very careful and conservative estimate of the damage to clothing alone was placed at $98. The question arises who should pay the damage? * * * A hide dealer: ‘‘It is the easiest thing in the world to make money in any channel of trade when the principal operators put their heads together and organize. ‘The tanners willsoon have things coming their way, and are taking practical steps to that end. The principal operators have had three mectiogs in Loston, lately, drawing ia the leading tanners to sign papers on each occasion, and itis presumed the next call will get most of them in line. They have been dissacisfied for some time over the prices ruling for leather, and the present organizing is ior the express purpose of discontinu- ing the purchase of hidesfor a stated term—not less than ninety days. -This important step wiil bring about certain profitable results—higher prices for leather and lower prices for hides—each commodity showing up@ handsome prolfitin the meantime for the tanners. With the hide warket aimost barren of ae = each week will disclose a decline, as holders will be getting tired and will letgo. Of course leather must goinan opposite direction at the same time. Yes, sir, if I had $10,000 to 320,000 to invest 1 would soon know where to place itin a profitabie way—for the organization is pretty certain to suc- ceed in their present undertaking.’’ * a - 1. A. Schoen: ‘*It is witha feeling of pride and satisfaction forme to show what advancement St. Louis bas made in late years as rewards the handling ot furs, The season just drawing to a close has been one of the most scccesstul in the history of the trade. One would naturally think that the wonder- ful growth in population of the West and a denser settiement of the per yd would bave atendency to diminish the supply of furs in this section of the country. This to somre extent is true, but our commission merchants and dealers were not siow in finding new fields to work in and have vastly ex- tended the territory from where to draw supplies. Our business has therefore not suffered, as was the case with some of the markets East of here; in fact, our trade is on the increase.

Boston, May 7.—The wool market this week has been the quietest since the opening of the year.

CHICAGO, Ill., May 7.—The wheat trade was light and the feeling strongto-day. There was but little outside business and local operators did not show much inclination to trade. The firmness during the day was mainiy attributable to war rumors, it being reported that the Kussians were massing troops on the Austrian frontier and that the preparations were more war- like then forsome time. The weather, too, again turned colder with snow in some parts of the Northwest and this had some effect on the market. The receipts for the week at the primary markets were abuvut the same as last week, while the exports were larger and $ was estimated that the visible supply ought to show another liberal decrease, though some wheat, which has heretofore been counted out, may turn up so that it was uncertain abouts’ what the WHITAKER & HODGMAN, BOND & STOCK BROKERS, | 800 N.

Recent Cures of Drs. Copeland and Thomp- son @Various Phases of Catarrh Involved —The Consumptive Recora—An Interest- ing Summary of Effective Work. THE spring of the year, when the sap is running in the trees, when nature awakens to new life and sends thrills of rejuvena- tion through the heart of all that grows; when light and air and heat quicken into new life all thas is animated or that is sensi- tive te the elements, man feels a quickening and an invigorating teuch, as if nature had breathed Into his body new strength, > with a sweet, glowing, ) ; exhilarating breath. This is true with the sick as with the well. The soft air of the vernal season falls likea balmupon all, and the most feeble feel its inspiriting effect, There- fore, many who have been under the care of a physi- cian, feeling this friendly touch of nature, assume that they will soon be well without medical aid, and aceordingly cease such treatment as they may have been receiving. A word as to this. ; This is the most serious mistake thatcan be made by «a sufferer from catarrh. And why? For this reason: The season most favorable for the success- ful treatment of catarrh is the secetin when the patient is least likely to take cold. That season is the early spring and summer: Nature then tends her aidto the work of the physician. Nature then assists the progress of the patient, withholds the fufluences which cause and increase disease and affords a fair opportunity. for complete recovery. ‘ The sufferer from catarrh can obtain results in two or three months’ treatment at this season that might not be obtained im nine months of treatment during cold and damp weather. The climatic conditions favorable to a complete and absolute cure are now present. Patients who, as winter comes on and colds-and sore throats bring about a condition so aggravated that pneumonia and consumption are threatened, eften go through the severe storms and trying weather of the cold season under the care of s doctor, and when spring comes leave off treatment, thus neglecting a grand opportunity for effectual relief, and permitting the disease to gather new strength. Then when winter comes again there is the same old round of colds, sore throats, aggravated catarrh, wearisome and discouraging treatment and unsatisfactory results. THESE FACTS SHOULD BE REMEMBERED: One month’s treatment now is worth three months’ treatment in winter. Twoor three months’ treat- men! now will in every probability cure a victines catarrh, This is simple, and those who are so unfortunate as to have con- tracted the dread disease of catarrh and who have not been able to rid themselves of it will do well to follow it. Read to-day’s report of new cases chred by Drs. Copeland and Thompson, Read the letterin which the patient writes that her cure is almost miracu- lous. Read the statements as to incipient consuimp- tion. Then consider the dangerous tendencies of catarrh and the opportunity pow presented fora complete cure of the disease. SLEEPLESS FROM PAIN. Miss La Rose Relates Her Dreadful Suf. ferrings With Catarrh. Sleeplessness without pain can be borne with some degree of fortitude, but sleeplessness BECAUSE OF PAIN isa terrible curse. Few people who suffer from catarrh in its severe phases are liable to sleep well. The majority sleep littie, if at all. Miss Lizzie La Rose of Hotel Moser suffered greatly in this respect.

C., May 7.—The statement made in the House yesterday that the river and harbor bill not only appropriates out- right over $21,000,000, but binds the Govern- ment toan appropriation of $26,000,000 more, has set the more cautious members of thé majority to figuring on the probable total appropriations of the House at this session. The result is decidedly disturbing, and fully justifies the strenuous effort that Judge Hol- man is making to lop off everything looking towards extravagance in the appropriation of public money, In conversation with your correspondent to-day Mr. Belyzhoover said: **Weare making our appropriation bills too big. If a halt is not called we shall ourselves have the odium ofa billion dollar Congress to bear. We are on the way to making such a record, and the Republicans are of course helping us might and main. Ex- travagance On our part will be quoted against us asan indorsement ofthe Reed Congress. Ihave just had prepared in the rooms of the Appropriation Comittee a comparative statement showing the money bills passed at the first session of the last Congress and those that this House at this session has passed or will pass and this House ls already ahead ofthat. The Senate has yet to act on the largest of the bills and wili be certain to increase the amounts. **It is already announced that large addi- tions will be made to the naval, the fortif- cations, the legislative andthe sundry civil Dilis. Theclearest statement of the caseis in the figures themselves. This is the com- parative table I have prepared: .

The river and harbor bill, inaddition to its direct appro- riation of about $22,000,000, authorized con- racts for $26,000,000 more which bind the Government and will have to be paid as cer- tainly as the direct appropriation, making the river and harbor appropriation $48,- ; add $26,000,000 and you have ,804,679.82.

The whole total ap- og hnelagain of the second session of the Fifty- ret Congress, and obtained for it the noto- riety of being the first billion dollar Congress was $526,018,672.55. **Now,’’ continued Mr. Beltzhoover, ‘‘I have no criticism to make of any individual.

The Republicans have been active in their effarts to increase the sum of every ap- propriation bill brought forward, and it was only yesterday that Mr. Reed himself secured an increase in the amount set apart for Maine in the river and harbor Dill.

CONFERENCE CALL. The facts that Mr. Betzhoover has made so lain, and which he gave out for publication 0 the SUNDAY POST-DisPaTcHu correspondent, was the absorbing topic of discussion in con- gressionai circles to-day. The matter had not before been so comprehensively stated, and it immediately arrested general atten- tion. The Democratic members of the Appropriations Committee held an tnformal conference and, headed by Judge Holman, subsequently visited the Speaker in his private room. The result of the conference could not be ascertained. Those who were present declined to discuss the situation except In a@ general way. Mr. Sayres of Texas, an able member of the Appropriations Comruaittee, said that Mr. Beltzhoover’s com- arison was not just tothis House. It must 96 taken into account, Mr. Sayres said, that some very heavy appropriations had been bequeathed to this House by the Reed Con- gress. An item of over $40,000,000 for pensions and another of $20,000,000 for sugar bounties and ship subsidies, he referred toas part of the legacy the Reed Congress had left. This House, Mr. sayres declared, was forced to make appropriations called for by law. If they were unusually heavy the Congress that made them necessary, and not this House, was responsible. For the rest \ir. Sayres snaidit wou'd befound that this House had done its duty and at the close would not be open tocriticism. The larger of the appro- priation bills, he pointed out, have yet to be nage upon, in the House, and he thought hey had been carefully drawn. There were other Democratic members of the House not s0 well satisfied with the record and with future action of regard to appropriations Mr. Sayres seemed to be. In their Judgment the bills were too high, though when asked to specify as to where cuts should be made they declined to do so. The position taken by these men is similar to that taken by Mr. Beltz- hoover, thatthe Democratic party, having declared against the enormous size of the ap- propriations made by the Reed Congress,was committed to action which would show that the strictest economy had prevailed in the counsels of the majority. There is a general feeling that the river and harbor biil, consideration of which was concluded by the House to-day, calls for too much money, but open opposition to it Is confined to very few members, It isa large Dillon its face, carrying an appropriation of nearly $22,000,000, while the contract feat- ure which binds the Government to an appro- priation of $26,000,000 at the next session of Congress gives many members much con- cern. Nearly every member gets a share of the appropriation, bowever, and this seems to ciose the lips of men who ordinarily insist upon economy in the expendi- ture of public money. Judge Ho)- man took the ground three months ajo that the river and harbor bill at this ses- sion ought nottocarry over $10,000,000. His proposttion, however, was not for a moment considered. ‘ihe committee set out tocon- struct a liberal bill and they have ended by making it a bountiful one. This river and harbor bill will prove to be the worst feature of the work of thisHouse But thereis no denying the fact that it is the most popular billofthemali. Kepublicans and Democrats alike are supporting it, and when it goes to the Senate several more millions will be added to it. , WILL PULL FOR ST. LOUIS. Furniture Men Anzxiousto Bring the Na- tional Convention Here If the wide-awake furniture manufacturers of St. Louts can have their way, St. Louis will have another national convention next year. ‘The St. Loufs Furniture Board of lrade held a large and enthusiastic meeting last nightand instructed its dele- gates tothe National Convention, which meets at Uipcinnatiin June this yearto se- cure the National Furniture Convention for St. Louls in 1893. It was proposed that every member of the Exchange attend the Cincin- hati Convention and that the delegation work tor St. Louis as the convention meeting place in 1893. A committee was appointed to pre- ro acircular setting forth the merits of St. Aulis in an attractive manner, which is to be placed in the hands of every delegate and alternate tothe convention. New York, Bos- ton, Clncinnati, Grand Rapids, Chicago, all principal furniture points, have had the convention, and St. Louls now proposes, with its excellent organization, to bring it to the City of Conventions. li. N. Davis, who has madea specialty of freight matters, subinitted a report showing the excellent work . that had been accom- plished in connection with the Traffic Com- mission. Then on motion of Mr.J. A.Reardon, the following was adopted: Resolved, That the St. Louis Furniture Board of Trade heartily indorse the g od work accomplished by the St. Louls Trafiic Commission, during the first year ofits existence toward gaining for St. Louis many adyantages in rates and classifications, and recommend tliose of our members who are not nem- bers to make application thereto, and enjoy the ben- efits they largely desseminate. The iosrey bankrupt bill had a hearing and was discussed, Lettersin regard to wages and strikes in New England States were read, and Mr. Geo. T. Parker, the secretary, com- plimented for his able statistical report for 1891 of the furniture trade published in the Merchants’ Exchange Annuai of St. Louis. —_— — ——— - - The Weather During the Past Week.

The Southern Lumber Manufacturers’ Association of this city will have a special meeting May 1 at Memphis to consider the results of a recently revised and advanced price- list. Geo. K. Smith, Secretary of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, is on a trip through Arkansas and Texas in the interest of the numerical advancement of the association. The Standard Barrel-works, a branch of the Stand- ard Vil Trust, has reduced its output of barrels to 309 er week. instead of 7 as hitherto. A number of bands haye been jaid off as a consequence. ' The St. Louls Lumber Exchange has cailed a spe- cial meeting May 13 to revise the inépection jaws. It is proposed to make them conform to the rules overning the Chicago inspection of hard woods. Several other subjects of minor importance will be considered. Washington University Concert. The Washington University Orchestra prom.- ises a very fine programme for their annual concert to be given at Memorial Hall next’ Friday. The orchestra will be assisted by Miss Adelaide Kalkman, the vocalist. The orchestra has been very materially strength- ened of late, numbering twenty-seven pee at present, Soloists of the orchestra wili give selections on their respective instruments. ON PAGE TWO.

GOADED TO DESPERATION BY THEIR MANY WRONGS, Fred Douglass Gives a Hint of What May Be Expected-—General Convention of Colored Men During the World’s Fair— Local Leaders Interviewed—A Volume of Wrongs Recited—Prayer a Remedy. CHIcaGo, Ill., May 7.—‘*Other men besides Anarchists can be goaded into making and throwing bombs, and if outrages onthe col- ored race continue, the negro will become a chemist.’’ So said Fred Douglass, the colored ex- United States Minister to Hayti, in an inter- the Palmer House to-day. The words were not uttered in passion, but came with deliberation. Mr. Douglass’ eyes molist- ened as he proceeded. ~ **This terrible thirst forthe blood of men must cease in the South, oras sure as night follows day there will be an insurrection. It is the worst evidence of outlawry and disre- gard of justice and human rights that we should hear every day thatsome Diack man has been lynched. It is not true that colored men are ravishers of women and children and, certainly, if anegro is guilty, what possibility is there of his escape from justice, if he be givenalawfultrial? But I cannot belleve there is as much depravity and brutishness among colored people as is claimed. Duringthe war, when the rebels went to the front tofight the battles of the Confederacy, they left behind their wives, sweethearts and children in charge of these colored people whom the whites of the South are now so cruelly persecuting, and yet not one outrage of the kind was ever heard of. **‘T have long urged upon the colored men to assemble and lay bare to the world their blesding wounds. This grand Columbian Exposition will be just the opportunity for them toassemble and seek the remedy. I hope to see a general convention or con- hy of colored men here during the Wor!d’s air, and 1 am sure it would be productive of great good,.’’ IN 8ST. LOUIS. A VOLUME OF WRONGS RECITERD—PRAYER AS A REMEDY. Walter M. Farmer, the young colored law- yer of thiscity, was one of the original St. Louls Committee of Five which originated the movement fora Negro Day of Prayer for relief from the blood-thirstiness of the white race, and his was also the third name signed to the circular appointing Tuesday, May 31, 1892, as the day, and calling upon the colored people of this country to observe itasa race by prayer and fasting. Mr. Farmer was seen yesterday by a SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH reporter, and when told of the Dougiass interview he said: **l agree with Mr. Douglass tn his belief that this failure of the American Government to’protect its negro citizens underthe law will drive the negro race to lawlessness and anarchy. For twenty-nine years now the negro has looked to the Federal Government for protection, and for the rights guaranteed him under the constitution, but he has looked in vain. It is folly to deny the fact that the negroes of this country are not pro- tected by its Government. Outrages against them, which would be summarily punished were the victims white men, are almost in- variably allowed to go unpunished. Negroes charged with crimes are not given oppor- tunity for proving their innocence of the charge, nor allowed, if guilty, to be unished according to law. They are sub- ject, instead, to the swift verdict of Judg® ynch, without legal trial, without defense being possibie and hurried into eternity by the pistol route, or by the rope of the lynch- ers, or at the stake. *‘*When a race is subjected to such outlawry as that, what can be the final logical outcome of such a situation except that, finally de- spairing of protection under the law, the race 50 oppressed takes the law into its own hands? **It is not necessary to make threats. The logic of the situation speaks for itself. The neyro has smail cause to respect the law, because the law, with its protection and assurance of just treatment for every citizen, is a dead-letter so far as the negro is con- cerned. “‘Anarchists aremen who despair of hav- ing their wrongs righted by ordinary means. The negro has every reason to bean Anar- chist. ‘et heis not. Look at this movement forthe Day of Prayer, for instance. What does the negro race propose to doin this, its first protest againstthe wrongs under which the negro suffers? Simply to pray to Almighty God for relief from tuose wrongs. All that we, asarace, expect to be gained by this movement, is that the attention of the country will be thus called ina vivid manner to our deplorable position, that thinking white people will realize the justice of our charges, and that rellef will follow that recognition. Coulda more peaceful method of securing relief from great wrongs and racial peril possibly have been devised? **I m ake the assertion that there is not an- other race und erthe sun which would have submitted to such wrongs as the negro nas endured forthe past quarter of a century without rising to revenge those wrongs. I think it Is to the credit of the negro race that it has shown such patience. **But patience has its limits, and it may be that the patience of the negrorace in Amer- ica has become exhausted at last. If so, there is danger ahead, for anarchy is then the only possible means of redress for a peo- ple who have appealed to the law in vain. ‘*Idonot beileve in dynamite or in any form of lawlessness or exercise of criminal force. IGonot believe the negroes as a race haveever contemplate, as yet,a resort to violence to secure that protection which they should receive under tie law. But there is no predicting the result of a continuance of the gigantic wrong under which §the negro race is suffering to-day in the United States. **One thingis certain. It was not intended that this Day of Prayer movement should Gevelop intoa hostile or anarchistic move ment. Its very organization proves that fact. Thereisnot a permanent committee in the whole thing. When May 31, 1892, shall have passed, the whole organization goes to pleces purposely. ‘*But when that day shall have passed, and no redress follows, and no relief is ex- tended, what can the negro race in America expect? It will have appealed to God and maninvain. iItisat such moments and in — a crisis that anarchy becomes pos- Sible,’ Quarrymen’s Meeting. A general meeting of the quarrymen em- ployed in North 8st.

Peorra, Ill., May 7-—The usual crowds of people were to be seen atthe bridge to-day watching the river, which is stiil on the rise, This morning the register marded 20 feet and 8inches above low water mark, the highest point reached for many years. The rise in the river forthe past twenty-four hours has been twenty inches, a trifle less than one inch per hour, and it is thought the rise will continue twenty-four hours longer, and the increase in volume will grow steadily less. Although the river is now considered high, yet it has on former occasions far outstripped its present height. If one will take the trouble to consult the records of the numerous floods that have swept down the illinols Valley during the years that are past and gone, as they may be found chiseled in the stone wall at Trues- dale’s planing mill, they will find that in the spring of 1844 the river was nearly four feet higher than it is at the present time; while in 1849 It broke its former record by two feet, and was then about six feet higher than t is to-day. There have been many changes in the embankment along the river, but no changes have taken place in the foundation walls of the planing mill, and they remain to-day asthey were fifty years ago, firm and strong, silent witnesses of the facts they record. The present high water, however, has done and is still doing considerable damage to property, besides making travel impossible in certain locali- tiles. Travel is entirely suspended at the upper bridge, and with no more rains it will be many days before travel can be resumed atthat point. It is believed, however, that the worst is nearly over, and that ina few days travel by rail and wagon will be fully restored and all things working in perfect order. Last night about7 o’clock the levee of the La Marsh drainage district gave way at the upper end and in an hour’s time thousands of dollars damage had been done, not only to the levee, but to property in the district. The dike, or levee, was constructed some- thing over a year ago amd was for the pur- pose of recldiming thousands of acres of valuable land along the river in Peoria County, opposite and below Pekin. The levee was sufficiently strongand high to re- sist the high water of last spring, although then as now the levee was not considered as fully completed. A numberof families were living in the district, buton Friday most of them abandoned their homes, taking -their household and whatever other effects they could with them, Some remained and by so doing have suffered more or less loss; Dut it is not thought that ary lives have been lost, though such may De the case. LATER—There is great consternation along the Dlinols River valley to-night. It has been reported that the damat Henry is giving way and if it does there will be great loss of life and incalculable damage to the entire valley. The recent floods have swollen the rivers abovethe damand it has been sub- jected to a greater strain than the builders ever anticipated. The river here has been rising to-day at the rate ofan inch every hour and fears are entertained that the three bridges spanning the river at this int will be swept away. If the lenry dam goes out there will bea wall of water sweep down the Valley fifteen feet high and all the bridges Balen the river will go. Theriverattiiis po is*now twenty- two feet above low water mark, and with the addition of the great volume of water around Henry, the entire valley, for a distance of three miles on each side, would be devastated. PREPARING FOR THE FLOOD. THE LOW LANDS AT ALEXANDRIA, MO., INUN- DATED—A GREAT RISE. KEOKUK, Io., May 7.—It is now believed that the gravest fears fora general Missis- sipp! flood, such as occurred in 1881, are past, although the river has been rising very rap- idly and stands at 15 feet 6 inches above tle low water mark of 1864. The low lands about Alexandria, Mo., are flooded, vast tracts of wheat fields being inundated. The Fox and Des Moines Rivers are out of their banks. People at AJexandria are pre- aring for the flood. There are some fears or the extensive levees rotecting the thousands of fertile acres on the Illinois side below Warsaw, but it river will not break river men say this afternoon’ that they believe the worstis over unless some unexpected rise occurs north. Reports come in from the line of the Toledo, Peoria & Western Raliroad, between Keokuk and Peoria, to the effect that foods are most dis- astrouson the lowlands. At Seville, Fulton County, the water mark is twenty-one inches over the track and transfersare being made. SEED WILL ROT. FAIRFIELD, Mich., May 7.—The amount of rain which has fallen sincethe 2@inst. has exceeded by far anything inthe wayofa deluge known for years. Many flelds on low lands are under water and potato flelds aro flooded. lf wet weather continues much longer all kinds of seed will rot. ARC HBISHOP EKEENRICK’S CONDITION. He Will Probably Perform no Confirma tion Rites on Account of Weakness. The enfeebled condition to which advanc- ingage has brought Most Rev. Archbishop Kenrick has caused a great dealof sad com- ment and gloomy foreboding in Catholic circles during the past week. ‘The exclusive announcement in this paper during the week that he had given up alli idea of giving confirmation this season was the cause of a great deal of surprise and sorrow. Friday the pastors of St. sichael’s Church on Eleventh and Benton streets announced that the Archbishop had consented with his physicians’ permission, to tr administer the sacrament a firmation to a class of hundred children. A procession has been arranged to meet the Archbishop at the boundary of the parish, and ail preparations for the ceremony arecomplete, Itis doubt- ful, however, ifthe principal actor will be present. A cail was made at the cathedral yesterday afternoon and inguiry made if the Arch- bishop would be abieto perform his Episcopal duties this afternoon. Acting Whancellor Coffee said that the Archbishop had given up all idea for the present of administering con- firmation this season, and haa cancelled all his engagements, ‘*‘Willhe go to St. Michael’s Church to- morrow as announced?’’ he was asked. ‘‘I think not.. He Was announced to go to St. Vineent’s Convent, 8t. Klizabeth’s and Holy Trinity Churches last Sunday, but did not atten any. He wiil proba. bly let the confirmation gO for this season.’”’ ‘*Will he call inanother bishop?’’ ‘*No, the archbishop will not ask anyone to do his work.

Donner, the expert refiner of the American Sugar Refining VUo., when asked by areporter about the break in Sugar certificates saidthat he could not at- tribute it to anything else than the threat of some members of Congress to take off the lg cent per pound protection which the indus- try now enjoysin this country, as that, itis said, would undoubtedly kill the industry, When asked whether this meant an im- portant cheapeningin the price of refined sugar, he answered: ‘‘No, not immediately, but after a very short period—long enouuh to erect new works in Europe—it will probably cheapen sugar to the extent ofa quarter ofa cent for the reason that this half cent of pro- tection represents a quarter cent cheaper production in Europe, while the other quarter cent represents the profits of the in- dustry in this country. And for this small amount which means to the people of the United States (withan average yearly con- sumption of sixty pounds of sugar per capita) oniy I24% cents per annum or a fraction more than lcent per month, it ts roposed to overthrow the existing tariff aws and ruin an industry in which $10,000,000 is invested, employing $25,000,000 of cash capital in its business, giving direct and in- indirect employment to the families of more than 100,000 people, consuming from 500,000 to 600,000 tons of Pennsylvania coal per annum; using 10,000,000 barrels, for which the lumber is hauled from Michigan and Ohio and employing 20,000,000 pounds of bone char, collected all over the United States. This in- dustry also makes use of a number of other auxiliary industries, on which the arti- cles produced represent almost’ entirely the cost of lavor and transportation expended thereon. Thus while a probabie saving of 1 cent per month per cap- ita to the citizens of this country may be ef- fected, an enormous industry with its em- loyment of capital and labor will be driven rom this country and the entire trade with Cuba and other sugar producing countries will collapse and go to England and Ger- many. Politically it is an entering wedge into the Republican protective tariff system and economy; it means no new capital in- vested under the new tariff in any industry whatsoever, as none would be safe from sim- ilar attacks.’’ In answer tothe question what he himself would do Mr. Donner frankly answered that he had taken all necessary steps for the building of large works in Germany, as he found he could raise all the money required at a rate of interest not much more than one-half of wnat he would have to pay in the United States; that the cost of the erection of the buildings with the ac mae pact the labor and all machinery supplies was fully 40 rcent cheaper than the same protected tems in this country, and that the difference in freight betwen raw and refined shipments amounted scarcely to 1 cent per 1@ pounds. If the bounty was reduced to nothing, Mr. Bonner said, he could earn his refining profit of one-fourth of a cent per pound as easily in Hamburg or Bremen as in New York or Philadelphia. An Optical Illusion. From the Chicago Times. He attratted considerable attention, even in Chicago, where deformities and beggars are at every turn, for the terrible character of his injury. loth legs had been taken offa the tes leaving than he was, and the skirts of 1t were spread out around. himon the walk, while before him lay bis hat upturned for alms, He needed the aid of no verbal appeal. Every one noticed him, and almost all gave of their substance. A gambler dropped ina dollar and felt that he had earned luck for a week. Pretty girls and their attentive com- panlons reduced their pocket money. Even an Italian fruit vender passing dropped a dime in the hat with a thought that this was his Easter offering, if a little late. Contribu- tions were rapidly transferred to the substan- tial, leather pocket of the ragged overcoat. The man seemedtobe getting uneasy. At last the hat was emptied and returned to its other post of service on his head. Two men came hurriediy outof the storein front of which the beggar had been transacting busi- ness and walked over to the pile of lumber. ‘*Get out,’’ said one to thecripple. We want to hustle this lumber intothe base- ment.’’ And the deformed wretch placed his hands on the pavement, gavea hitchand a scram- ble, and drew out of a coal hole a pair of excellent legs, terminated by oaually ser- viceable feet, which had been resting on the plle of coalunderthe sidewalk. Several dol- lars’ worth of the coin of the republic jingled in his pockets as he entered the double. hinged, back-action doors of the nearest ee for the amelioration of arid suf- ering. EVICTED ITALIANS., One Hundred Families Turned Into the Streets of New York. New YorK, May 7.—One hundred Italian families, consisting of about 400 men, women and children, were turned out of their homes yesterday afternoon and were put on the street with all their belongings. The evic- tions were from the tenements in Elizabeth street, between Bleecker and East Houston streets. The property in question, together with the two tenements fronting on the street, was sold some time ago to the Roman Catho Church Madonna Dolorosa, It is the site forthe new church edifice, which the society proposes soon to build, The contracts were letand the tenants were notified on Monday to get out. They either did not un- derstand the order or expected that their landlord would relent as on former occa- sions, and so remained. The men went out to work yestesday morn- ing as usual. About 9 o’clock two marshals from the Jefferson Market Civil Court came and told the tenants to gatber up their ossessions and getout. The people refused, ben the Marshals hired all the idie men and boys they could to assist them. Furniture, cooking utensils, stoves and clothing were carried down stairs or pitched out'of the windows. The poor Italian women, unabie to understand this Kind of proc ings, and cursedin turns. They finally managed to get their respective belongings sorted out. They plied them along Elizabeth street from Bleecker to Houston,and with their children, sat on them to guard their goods. At noon many of them rigged up their stoves and cooked their meals in the streets. The rain that fell’ in the afternoon ad greatiy to their discomfort. In the even when the husbands and fathers ret they saw their families and their possessions in the streets. They beeame infuriated, and but for the presence of some cool heads a riot would ve resulted. The men yelled for the officers who had dispossessed One tall man pranced up and sidewalk, ee to em WAS iT DE S0TO’S AMULET? Points of the Medal Found Beside Turn Back Creek. | Recently the New York ZJimes contained an account of a medal, or amulet, found on one of the banks of Turn Back Oreek, a branch of the Sac River, near Ash Grove, Green County, in the southern part of Mis- sourl.

Ble Proposes First to Build a Captive Balloon in This City Larger Than the Airship of the Paris Exposition—Then He Will Organize «a Company to Aerially Circumnavigate the Globe, There is a wonderful man in town. He comes from the South, but, ike all wise men, he first appeared in the East. Memphis was fis last point, but he names, among points Visited by him in his role of a famous @eronaut, Boston, London, Paris, Berlin, Wienna, Oonstantinople, Bagdad, Cairo, Delhi, far-off Batavia, Singapore and Cal- Gutta. His name is Rufus Gibbon Wells. He relates an experience, during the last thirty years, of five hundred ascensions, witnessed by the crowned heads and nobles of Europe, and Mabobs and potentates of other climes. He proposes to organize a company to bulid a Ralloon to circumnavigate the globe and Visit themorth and south poles. It is pro- posed by him to bufld a balloon as large, or ew , \ ~ SAS even larger, than the ‘‘captive balloon’’ built for the French Government during the Franco-Prussian war, which he claims the honor of building. **] should use,’’ said he, referring to the posed balloon, ‘‘the best unbleached cot- m goods, Or part cotton and part linen, as Was used by M. Yon in constructiug M. Gif- fard’s great captive bailoons of London, Paris and Vienna, all of which balloons I have seen and examined, and ascended with the one at the Kxposision of Paris in 1867. The Empress Eugenie went up about the same time, accompanied bps several dis- tinguished persons. i wotld make the balloon about as long, or even ven mile cans Boek rd passengers or padeing out the mall. The palioon would stand up against winds, and being 200 e length and sixty in diameter, it would cut the air like a large kite. Balloons can be made to float for many months with theloss of but Mrs. Wells, little gas, which could be replenished by car- ryingalonga little zinc sulphuric acid and water in place of sand for ballast, and a cask in which to generate the gas. ‘*‘With such a gigantic machine, we could sail around the world many times, visit the north and South Poles, the interior of Asia and Airica orany other part of the world. Wecould descend and anchor and remain as long as we desired for water and fresh provisions ortotakeon mail or pas- sengers orleavethem and pass over any ocean with perfect safety. By having long lines fishing could be carriedon while pass- ing over seas, lakes and oceans, and good Trifles could be .used in hunting while’ passing over the land. Should we bag a few elephants lions, tigers, buffaloes or bears, we could de- ecend and take them on board, or hang them below our aerial steamer, and then throw over a fewtons of ballast equalto the weight oftheanimals. Wecouidthbenriseand pro- ceed on ourtrip untilwe came over some greatcity where they were desirous of hav- ing a fresh supply of animals to ex- hibit, and woul be willing to pay a rood price on account of the novelty of having them broucht there Solne Thin M4 tiful,’’ c throvghthe air,’which of course would be rare. ‘‘There is nothing more marvelously beau- mtinued the aeronaut -enthusiastic- surpassinely romanticand sublime, in the slient hour of night we float invisible and illimitable ocean with a cloudless heaven, silver orbs of the ftirma- ment, the bright rays of the full moon, HNeht the enchanting scene, and cities pass beneath us, whose brilllant fllum- inations anpear like nebulous groups sweep- ing before the telescope. Inthe hundreds of balloon ascents which I have made during the past thirty years,-in traveling over forty different nations, lhave several times been in far more difficult and Gangerous situations than l would be in going around the world or to the North or south Poie, with a large and safe balioon made expressly for such voyaves, havinga strong steam yacht for the car, which would safely ride any sea:”’ Prot. Wells has the appearance of long fa- miliarity withthe winds, Ue hasa tall form and majestic appearance, and as he walks his wavy locks and flowing beard recall vis- ions of aerial gephyrs blowing through his whiskers.

Baraine out of Metz. It was 175 feet in length and 50 feetin diameter with a capacity of 250,000 cubic feet. This was the longest aerial machine yet constructed, but not the most capacious. I paid $2,600 for the silk at Lyons, at wholesale price, and was there when Gambetta came out of Paris witha balloon. I called on him on my return from Lyons, and algo to see Gen. Garibaldi when he came to Tours and engaged inthe war. M. Thiers and many distinguished persons. were there at the same time. “The Government officials said not to mind the expense, so 1 made the outside of silk and the inside of cotton, and put the finest and closest kind of per, which was made expressly or me, between the silk and cotton, and sat- Urated all with the best oll-varnisn that is made for balloons, to make them impervious to the gas. Instead of using an engine of three or five horse power,as was my intention in France,if Bazaine had not surrendered before the balloon was finished, I should have one of ten or twenty borse The Parachute. , and use electricity, inthe manner it already been used in France, where a has been propelled seven miles and again tothe starting point. **Agit has been demonstrated that at the Bees oe afew hundred feet there are two tcurrents, which are known as the ttrade winds below and their coun- ter ts above, I propose to make use Of these currents to go tothe North Pole and to come back again.

There the balloon could be rulded easily, as there would be no wind, most time, to interfere. Provisions for several months could be carried with gubs, and sleds, and everything necessary to ea thorough success of the expedition to orth Pole or around the globe. **It would be much easier to construct an serial machine, and carry a hundred passen. nd the world, = from twenty 7 days, than to perform many gran that have been carried out.

Besides being a xreataerial navigator and having carried the star-spangled banner over more seas, cities, vaileysand mountains, and un- furled it ata greater height thanany other man on the globe, Mr. Wells also includes among his accomplishments the gift of hyp- notism and mesmerism, and a knowl- edge of medicine, besides being an author and lecturer. He regards the *‘*email miserabie things called balloons,’’ usedin miakineg captive ascents, as not safe orfitfor sucha purpose. A Dal- loon 200 feet in length, and having a million cubic feet capacity, he states, would bea greater attraction for this city than a circus, it would, he thinks, bring many thousands to see it, and would be a great benefit to the railway companics, hotels, merchants, and many other people who are benefited by having large crowds come to the city. AERIAL WARFARE POSSIBLE. NEW YORK MIGIIT BE ATTACKFD FROM BAL- LOONS WITH IMPUNITY. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH, NEW YorRK, May 5.—‘‘Certain European Powers are possessed of powerful air ships so perfectand complete that in the event of war withthe United States they could be sailed over New York or any of thecities nearthe seaboard, and no power on earth could serve to check them before they had completely annihilated the cities attacked.’’ The above paragraph in a Chicago news- paper, extracted froma longer interview re- ported with me, is going the rounds of the press, accompanied with many doubting criticisnis. Independent of professional secrets, of which there are many among aeronauts, there exists evidence that the dangers re- ferred to are very real. To make this plain,! may recailthe trip made in a hydrogen gas balloon by the woman aeronaut Carlotta, In ee 1888, when she followed a prescribed and devious route across Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City, using a variety of wind cur- rents simply by noting their elevations and floating on one or another at will by the usnai method of dispensing gas or ballast. The route was from Washington Park base ball grounds, brookiyn, over the City Hall, down to the Battery or Castie Garden,thence upthe Kast River pastthe Brooklyn bridge; thence at right angies across New York and to the Desbrosses street ferry; thence diag- onally down and across the North Riverto the Pennsyivania rallroad depot, and thence up the whole length of Jersey City to Secau- cous. Nunadreds of thousands of people in these three great cities witnessed this flighc, as the hour was 4to6 p. m., when the cities’ workers were going home. 4 A swift return current high up made it pos- sible for the wind navigator to return in about ten minutes. A speed test was made at the same time of the resources of civiliza.- tion for rapid transit below by boat, car, car- riawze and elevated road. To travel the same distance inthis way required and two hours time. Now, assume that Carlotta’s ballast cast out along the route had consisted of inflam.- mnable compounds and destructive explosives (not dynamite, but something deadiler which cannot be fired fromacannon), a: one need only trace Onthe mapthe course noted to realize thata broad swatthe of car- nage and fame would have more than taxed ail the resources Of these three cities, its finest police, its ambuiances and hospitals and its magnificent Fire Departments. The ruin lately wrought by a single dyna- mite cartridge in the office of Mr. Russell Sagre,and the gas explosion at the Pennsy!- vania Railroad Depot, would have been trifies in the devastation made on such a journey. So much for the work of an ola-fashioned balloon in the hands of a skiliful air nav- gator. Asa matter of ordinary professional business lam ready to contract to duplicate this exhibition. Recent tests by forei wers with mod.- ern artillery, firing at oon targets under favo ® conditions (not obtainable in actual ball wartare), indicate that Little is to be nine changes ; 1 feared by the aeronauts.. The mark itself is relatively small when distant. Let any investiga man try his rifle on a toy balloon a rifle range, and then remember how much easier of manipulation ts this arm compared with can- non, ; How many ofthe cannon protecting New York are adapted to elevations almost over- head? What would be the results of cannon balls or shells returningon the city after pro- jection upward? On the other hand, ft is quite easy to slide the most dangerous missiles broadcast or on a slant, with guiaing planes, in any direction from the airship. The aeronautic services of foreign nations possess captive balloons for reconnolsance or complete observation of everything in sight from above over an immense area; signal- ing. including the transmission of cypher messages long distances by electrical flash- lights, with the Morse code of long and short flashes, or any other, and search-lights indli- cating the position of an enemy at night without revealing the position of the vessel, fort or point to which the balloon !s anchored. The value of these aids to modern warfare can readily be appreciated. What is the po- Sition ofthe United States in this matter? Kngland, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Holiand, Belgium, RuSsia, Italy, China and less important nations are well supplied with valuabie aeronautical apparatus, schoo!s of practice, etc., and many have construction plants and experimental divisions working more or less in. secret onthe construction of power-driven air ships. As early as 1884-’85 Commandant Reynard of the aeronautical establishment of the French War Department, made three trial trips with La France, on each of which he was able to return tothe pointof departure, and obtained a maximum speed of fourteen miles an hour with an électrical motor of nine horse power and total weight of 1,174 pounds. Calculations show that Dy simply doubling the known dimensions of this craft its in- creased lifting power would permit the carry- ingofa motor of the same proportionate weight—130 pounds per horse power—which would produce a speed of twenty-five miles anhour. According to no less an expert and nuthority than Mr. Octave Chanute, Presi- dent of the American Society of Civil Engineers, this velocity may be said to be **in sight.’’ Reports of private experiments since con- ducted indicate that as early as October, 1890, Commandant Reynard was in possession ofa motor of 70 horse- power, weighing, with ten hours’ supplies, only 946 pounds, or 13% pounds per horse-power, instead of 180 pounds, With this La France could be driven twenty-eight miles an hour, and anair ship oftwice its dimensions might attain forty- milesan hour. Half this speed is ample, as I have ascertained by experiments witha tor- pedo- shaped air ship,that the wind Is a valu- able factor when steerage way is obtained. Another fact ascertained ig thatthe pressure of gas within an envelope of acertain form is competent to preserve its form against any wind force it is likely to encounter. Ithus briefly touch the outlines of aerial possibilities and progress, If the American public or government fails to see their signifi- cance, Other nations are wiser. CARL E. BLYERS.

Next Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, in the Grand Music Hall of the Exposition Buiht- ing, the kindergarteners of St. Louis will assemble 2,000 strong, and with sweet voices, pretty games, graceful manners and gay costumes, lend their mite to have for St. Louls a splendid display of the work of its public schools exhibited in Chicago during the World’s Fair. Already the first entertainment given by the High and Normal School scholars, assisted by public spirited citizens, has been .given and it proveda brilliant success. Friday even- ing’s entertainment was solely the work of ladies, too. Mrs. Mary Hogan Ludlum, Mrs. Kose Fanning and the Misses Andrews, Peabody and Fruchte r@pared the pro- gramme and practically handlea the whole affair. The programme for next Saturday’s event represents the labor of Miss Mary k. McCul- logh, Supervisor of Kindergartens, and her abie corps of teachers. The best tribute to the worth of their efforts is the multitude of donations~ which have come to them. From the large dry goods emporiums they received material forfiags and bunting. All the prominent florists have given plants and lowers to decorate the May pole, and to fill baskets intended for the sick in the hospitals. The Ludlow-Saylor Wire Co, furnished a huge frame fora terrestrial globe, whichthe chil- dren will cover with gold and white paper to designate the seaand iand. This puny earth will swing above the stage and over the heads of the chil. dren. The leading music stores furnished ptanos and musical numbers. ‘These kKind- nesses have already been acknowledged in the press. During the past week the kinder- garten managers were granted substantial favors by the D. Crawford Dry Goods Co. and by Mr. Jesse Cornellus. Rehearsals of the programme have been practised with much care and dilegence by the schools in the North End, at the Ames, the southeastern schools at the Lyon, the southwestern at the Peabody, the centrally located schools, at the Franklin, and the West End Schools, atthe Stoddard. So that the public may rest assured that a perfect performance will be given them, The programme is as follows: PART I—SONGS. . Marching song, **We Are Soldiers of the Froebel Giuarda’’ .

From the New York Sun. fhe trembling wolf fish has entered Clay Pit Creek, an estuary of the North Shrews- bury River in New Jersey. Capt. William C, Towen of the New Amsterdam Hotel at Locust Point missed his Irish wolf dog Paddy a week ago and found the animal dead on the banks of the creek, about a mile from his hosteiry, which is the headquarters for all the anglers and bunters in that section, Only the hind legs of the dog were missing having been eaten off by some animal wit remarkably sharp teeth, as the edges of the bone looked as if they had been severed byasaw. Freda Vogel, professional fisherman lost a young calf whose hind legs were bitten offinthe same manner. Capt. Joe Depaux, ahotherold settlerer of Locust Point tells of a wolffish that climbs the bank. The fish wobbled over the garden patch like an old man with the palsy. The front teeth of thefish protrude like thoseof a Russian bloodhound. Eels have disappeared from Clay Pit Creek since the monsters first showed himselves, Last week Capt. Towen with his Remington rifie killed one that was eating the hind legs of a horse, It weighed sixty pounds, and trembled for one hour and oe minutes afterthe bullet entered its n. Free.

HOW “YANKEE DOODLE” BEGAN. Born Before the Declaration of Inde pendence and Written in Greek, From Harper’s Young People. Every patriotic American loves the jingling tune of ‘‘ Yankee Doodle,’’ but no one seems to Know just how or when it first began to be used. It is ever so much older than the Dec laration of Independence, and is said to have been originally written in Greek— ‘‘Iankhe Doule,’’ meaning ‘‘Rejoice, O Slave!’’ or ‘‘Let the Slave Rejoice.’’ Tho Greek words certainly sound, pronounced English fashion, enough like *‘ Yankee Doo- dle’’ to make this belief a reasonable one. All sorts of queer verses have been — to the jumping, -frolicsome tune, and in the time of King Charles I., a number of i gerel verses which ridiculed Cromwell w sungtoit. The opening verse. Nankee Doole came to town Upon a Keutish pony; He stuck a feather in his hat, And called him macaroni, is almost the same as one of those still sung to the national air. Besides this, an old English nursery rhyme also claims the tune, and this was a great favorite with the little ones. There was — altogether delightfulin the rapid ingle: Lucy Lockett lost her pocket Kitt Fisher foand it; : Nota bit of money in it, Oniy binding round it, Pockets in those days were bags put on out- side of the dress, or this accident could not have happened. Let us hope that Migs k- ett was more careful after tnis experience, and that she finally had ‘‘a bit of money in it,’* too, Thetune used to be called **Kitty Fisher’s Jig,’’ and this Kitty wasa real per- rom and a famous beauty in the reign of s Il. It isa much disputed tune, and has been claimed for France and Spain, while in Hol--. land itis saidthat when the laborers were _— for their work ‘‘as much buttermilk as hey could drink anda tenth of the n°? they sang, to the air of ‘‘ Yankee hha Yankee dudel, doodie down, Diddie, dudel, lanther, Yanke biver, boover, bown, Botermilk und tanther.

Jefferson It has been done once without loss of life ‘or li but not without Gamage to clothes, shoas, etc., and Can, just asan adventure, be done again. The start was made from the corner of St. Louis avenue and Jefferson aveniie at 5:45 p. _ die in his corner. as tho m. on a week day. passengers got on while the car was waiting at the terminus. Thecar was the usual old box with the same old three-of-a- kind (two mules and a driver) in front, a nar- row step behind and seats for eight people on each side ifthey pushed close, The pas- bad been to the races and were forhome. One of the mules rested on his othert wo legs a minute and moved the cara littie. . **They’re off!’’ called one of the passen- gers, but they were not. Halfa dozen times the same remark was made, and thecar on and on, with the driver half dozing in corner and his reins tied around the die. “Say, we'llhave to have a new starter, that’s all,’’ said one. **No, he’s allright. You see there are only twoinit and the other one starts by the watch at the other end of the line. See?’’ The man was only joking about the two cars, because there are more, and when busi- ness is rushing they have six or seven. Finally the shout went up: ‘‘They’re off!’’ And the car actually moved along toward the south across e loose and muddy tracks. Several passengers passed up money to be changed and hind it passed back to them, and then passed a jnickle up because the littic **drop-a-nickl Fin-the-slot” railroad around the car was out of repair. ; One passenger with acompanion had a $2 Dilland went up to have it changed. He stood by the little pigeon-hole in the door while the driver, using his hands and his mouth to count out nickles and dimes, drove any way he could. The car kept onat a jog, andas it did laborers with buckets, etc., piled in, two and three ata time, and liter- ally threw themselves at anything that looked ifke a seat. Then those who knew each other sat on each other’s knees, The passenger who was getting change finally got it;a whole handful of itin fact, along with the muttered benediction from the driver just loud enough for him to hear. Then @ passenger turned to take his seat, but his had been attended tofor him by one of the laborers, who joined in a gencral laugh when the passengeraskedforit. ~ **Ig this gintleman wid you?’’ asked the laborer, indicating the passengpr’s com- ion. **Yes;’’ said the shortly and angrily. r ‘*Thin you’re all right; sit on his ap, as me frind "ill be doin’ this minit.’’ He wasa true et, tis friend got on andin the most matter of fact manner saton the laborer’s lap.

By am exact count, noted carefully at the time, there were seven just such cases of **double up’’ during the trip.

The car com- ing from the opposite direction stopped and the drivers had a dialogue about change. The other driver counted over what he had, in his quaint car driver style, and after some time announced that he was li cents short of the required amout. Word was sent back to the new passenger that if he would takea quarter’s worth of itin ‘‘children’s’’ tickets he could have hischange. He was promptly tipped by the regulars to say no, and nolt was. utual apologies, explanations and opinions were exchanged by the two drivers and the cars went off on the same old one and six pence jog.

DUE TO LACK OF COMPETITION. For two or three years transit In 8&t. uestion has been aske.: e efferson avenue road adopt rapid transit? The question has been invariably met with promises on the part of those in control that as soon asthe various owners could decide what system to adopt, etc., it would be done. It has not been done, and all promises have beenasempty air, simply because from a street raliroad owner’s point of view it is not sy SS The Jefferson avenue line has absolutely no competition and in consequence peonse who _want to go across town must ke what they pan oe To reach either of the terminals of the Jefferson avenue road by any other line would necessitate a —< circuit and a double fare, and knowing this the managers will not make any improvements until actually com- pelled to do so. To explain the situation more clearly it can be stated that the road is practically can- trolied by the two lines which pass right across its northern and southern terminals, the Union Depot Line on the southand the Mound City Line on the north. The Jefferson avenue road did at one time run from Jefferson and Allen avenues on the south to Jefferson and St. Louis avenues on the north and from there over the Mound Oity track tothe Fair Grounds; during Fair time and on big occasions it runs all the way, but for ordinary days the terminus on the north is at st, uls avenye, where passen- gers forthe ball park or Fair Groun@s and ints north must change to the Mound City ine and pay another fare to, practically, the same company. The Jefferson Avenue road is about two miles longand with everything favorable the trip can be made in thirty minutes or at the rate of four milesan hour. while the latest rapid transit ordinances permit a speed of eight milesan hourin the down town dis- tricts. This line issues no transfers over connecting or crossing lines and accepts none from them, sOthat to all intents and pur- poses a double fare is extorted. The equipment of the road is impossible of adequate description. Thecars are the old- est of old-fashioned boxes with a driver whose duty itis to make change and look after the fares, besides urging on the poor wretched mules who draw the ‘car. Passen- gers are compelied to either climb over each other to get — ww or pass the money up, to the discomfort of all. The'track is of the cheapest and ballasted with a little macadam and a great deal of mud, yet this road which, according tothe records of the Assessor’s Office, Values allits cars at $8,800, carried in the three months ending April 1, 1892, 419,389 passengers, giving it the neat little gross earnings of something over $6,000 a month, andthe operating expenses proportionaily not one tenth that of a cable or electric roaa. With their characteristic assurance the companies in control of the road will not make 1 cent worth of improvement until forced to Oy competition, or until it appears to them that a change would be profitable. With a bridge across I'wenty-first anda line in prospect over Eighteenth street past the new Union Depot, it may be possible that St. Louis will get another cross-town road to compete with this one and force it up to modern times. ‘The Lindell Railway has, it istrue, a line across Vandeventer avenue, butas yet it does not complete the connec- tion on the south, and it is too far west to be considered a rival of the ‘‘Cinch’’ line on Jefferson avenue. COMMODORE M’CANN, How the Retiring Officer Secured His Ap- ointment tothe United States Navy. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POSsT-DISPATCH. Paris, Ky., May 6.—This is from the Post- DISPATCH Of yesterday: WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—Commodore Wm. P. MeCann will retire from ‘the active list of the is a States Navy to-morrow, under the 62-years One bright moonlight August night in 1849 three Paris boys, Sam, Tony and Bill, with arms and chin over a floating log in the mill- dam on 'Stoner Creek, bobbed about inthe clear water and discussed the future’ of Bill, who had just been appointed tothe navy. Tony and Sam delivered him over, a ship- wrecked tar, to the vicious Terra del Fue- gans, they married him tothe Queen of the Cannibal Islands, they Robinson Crusoed him in the most out-of-the way spots of terra firma, but exacted from him earnest prom- ises that he would unite tothem regularly. Fame and his country know Bill to-day as retiring Commander Wm. P. McCannof the United States Nayy. lion. Richard stanton, then editor of a paper in Maysville, took a great liking to Jobn McCann, who had gone to Maysville to learn to stick type. He sent him to the Epis- copal Institute tor the Education of Clergy- men, from which he went, as chaplain, with the Lopez expedition to itnvade Cuba. With the balance of the unfortunates John McCann was stood agaiust the fence at Cardenes and shot. Mr. Stanton seemed to feel that he owed a helping hand to Chaplain Mc.- Cann’s brothers, and took George to learn the printers’ trade. After he went to Congress he secured Georgea midshipman’s warrant, but when it came home it was feared that George was not strong enough for the life at sea. His brother, Bill, a bluff, frank boy, was anxious for the | chance, but he was then 17 years ofawe, justtooold. No one but the Presi- dent had the right tochangethe warrant to make it read for Bill’s appointment, Presi- dent Zach Taylor had just been inaugurated and Bill unheralded wentto Washington to have the change made. He walked withouta word of introduction into the presence of the President, announced his business without hesitation and won tbe President s0 com- pletely that he was given the warrant changed to his own name and President Tay- lor personally directed him as to where he couid get his supplies before entering on ac- tive service, and aiter bidding the folks at home good-bye, He was promoted to Lieutenant on Sept. 16, 1855. At the outbreak of the rebellion he was engaged in landing troops at Pensacola, and in the following year co-operated with tbe Army of the Potomac on the James, capturing the rebel gunboat Frazer. In 1563 while in command of the ‘*Hunchback’’ he attacked and silenced the batteries at Camp Anderson. Later he was engaged in blockading Mobile, ana ess pated inthe action of Mobile Bay. On July 22, 1866, be was commissioned commander and promoted to a captaincy on Sept. 21, 1876. He received his commission as commodore on Jan. 26, 1887, and at the date of his retire- ment was President of the ery | and Retiring Board, with headquarters at Wash- ington. Hon. John J.

He Deserts His Family, Leaves His Fac- tory and a Lot of Unpaid Employes. Twenty young women and several young men who worked in the clothing factory on the northwest corner of Biddle and Collins streets are anxious to know the whereabouts of Leonhardt Nuss, their employer, who mysteriously disappeared last Thursday, leaving a wife and six small children in almost destitute circumstances. It is also said he ran away with another woman but no one could be found who knew this to be a fact, and as Nuss is 42 years of age, those who are acquainted with him do not believe it. That he has _ disap- peared, there is no doubt, and many are mourning his sudden departure. Nussis well known in many of the large wholesale clothing houses in the city for whom he made clothes and where he worked. He came to St. Louis about four years ago at the request of Mr. James McGuire, the clothing manufacturer, at Seventth street and Lucasavenue. He brought his wife and six young children with him and took the position of foremanin Mc- Guire’s factory. Last fallhe rented a floor of the three-story Building on the north- west corner of Biddle and Collins street and began making clothes for McGuire. Last January he induced W. A, Darling. a manufacturer of small boxes, crates and coops, in the same building, to enter into partnership with him, and the plant was enlarged. Mr. Darling, speaking of the venture this morning sald: ‘*Russ told me there was big money in the business. He said he was being poorly paiai by ‘cGuire and if he could enlarge the plant he could make about $100 amonth more. I putin the machinery and later he told me that was paid 10 cents more a garment from other houses in town, but Nuss was so sharp I am now inclined to believe he was not paid that money to keep, though I don’t Know and cannot say. At any rate I severed my connection with him about Ape saw little of him after that and I did not know he had given tp his business until the giris told me aboutit. They said he told them he could not pay any salaries last week but would pay up this week. Last Thursday he appeared in the workshop in his best clothes, and the girls suspected he was going away. They put some questions to himand he said he was going to cullect some money and pay them off. That was the last seenor him. My experience with him cost me several hundred dollars,’’ Mrs. Nuss was found at her homeon Collins street, near Biddle, not far from her hus- band’s factory. she was too ill to walk and was almost prostrated by her husband’s disappearance. One child was sick in bed with fever and the other children were play- ing on the floor of a very scantily furnished room, She said she last saw her husband Thursday morning. He told her nothing of his intended depart- ure and his given her no intimation of his whereabouts since. She did not believe he ran away with another woman, because she did not think a man 42 years of age, who had been married twenty years would be so fool- ish. She told the visitor she was tooill to leave her room, that she was without means or food and would be compelled to send her daughter, a delicate young girl, to works Monday morning. ‘ LIZARDS OF SINGAPORE, They Bother You Sleeping and Awake, but They Are Not Dangerous, From the Buffalo Express.

Sabres that bent when crossed with a Burmese dah, and bayo- nets that doubled up when thrust against an <Arab shield have cost hundreds of” lives, and the authorities of the War Office have at last contracted for weapons upon which the troops can rely. ORIGIN OF THE SWORD. The development of hand-to-hand weapons isan interesting study. In fact it may be said that the progress of civilization, and the racial peculiarities of different nations can be very accurately measured by a study of the weapons used by them at different periods. The typical weapon of war and the most universal in its use is the eword. The origina! sword was merely a modification of the club, being merely a piece of sharp- ened wood. The first improvement consist- ed in setting on the edge the teeth ofanimals, of sharks among oceanic tribes, or bits of sharp stone. The perfection of the non- metallic sword was found among the Aztecs, in the macahuit!l, a wooden biade with bits of obsidian set along the edge, not in a contin- vous line, but In the manner of sawteeth, The toothed sword is still found among some remote islands of the South Pacific. Swordsare common throughout most parts of Africa, but are ineffective and more like clumsy The development of this weapon on the save among the Arabs, hasbeen insignificant and there the swora is found in its primitive form. THE WHITE WEAPON. Swords may te divided into two. great classes—the curved and the straight. The former is essentially the horseman’s weapon and thesaber has en carried to its hignest development among Asiatics. At the present day the finest sabers in the world are the wonderful Japanese blades, but these are the only ones of all the Asiatic swords, save only the dah, which are footmen’s weapons. The genius of the people is exemplified in theirarms. With few of the sturdy vir- tues,they possess more finesse than the aver- age European and their blades are made in accordance. The light, thin blades would be shattered by the smashing blow of an English or German culrassier, Dut in the hands of theirowners are terrible. 111 qualified for rdown by main force the guard of nent, their edge, as keen as finely red steel can be ground, is kept condition by leather or the Eastern fencers a ey al horror the tron or steel scabbards that soon reduce European ‘Diades to the condition of clubs. .

But the individual excellence of the Asiatic swordsman hus, when brought into contact with Europeans, proved to bea distinct dis- advantage. Kelying upon skill in_ sin- gle combat, the Asiatic has always neg- lected the true province of cavalry, its adapt- ability for shock tactics, and has again and degree of development. Long wars’ against the Tartars and endless internal feuds have bred a race of wielders of the nobie ‘‘white ‘weapon’’ that could have been equalled no- where else on earth. But in neglected, individual ting of movement in m THE STRAIGHT BLADE. straight sword is essentially the weapon of the footman, although rogymey used by cavalry. It is to de observed,‘how- ever, that when so employed it was nearly always auxiliary tothe lance, which by the straight-sworded horsemen was regarded as their main wenpon. Among the Greeks the sword .was Ilittié more than a knife, being distinctly subordinate to the pike. It was not until the days of the Roman Republic that the sword in the hands of infantry assumed its true position. The Roman giadius was a short, broad, two- edged Dilade, adapted to striking, but more coinmonly used in thrusting, being the first true cut-and-thrust. The Roman biades were made in Spain, and here it may be re- marked that among European nations the best sword-wielders held blades produced outside of their own country in the highest esteem. The Italian of the Middle Ages sought to obtain & blade from Damascus or Toledo the German and Frenchman sought a similar blade, the warlike Scotch and English pre- ferred the work of the Italian Andrea Farrera, while the Polish and Hungarian robbers were armed with Turkish or Persian sabres. The Koman sword was nota fine sample of steel, and in later days would have been regarded as distinctly lacking in temper. Being prin- cipally used in thrusting, and its biade being so heavy and stout as to prevent elasticity, high temper was of less The j importance than with longer and proportion- ately lighter cutting weapons, in which it was necessary to preserve an edge after en- countering the shock ofarmorand opposing blades. it seems a contradiction, but itis nevertheless true that the Roman legion- aries who conquered the world with the short broadsword, were no swordsmen. RISE OF FENCING In fact fencing first reached Any degree of development in Europe only when the in. creased efficiency of missile weapons ren- dered the sword of minor —_ impor- tance in actual warfare. Until the end of the middie ages the sword as a weapon of defense as,well as-ef offense existed only in Asia. The Roma ewe himself with his semi-cylindrical én eld, and used his sword for stabbing, —trot for warding. To this weapon the Gauls and Germans opposed long cutting weapons, much like those ofa later day, but in these arms the necessity of tem- per ina cutting blade was most plainly mani- fest, for after a few blows the inferior steel was so bent as to become useless. The Roman favairy sword was longer ‘than that of the _ infantry, I1—Swiss Double-Handed Sword, Water Sprinklers. 6—Morning Star. ‘ll—Italian Digeers. 2—Stiletto. 7—Footman’s Fork, 4 and 5—Holy Bills. 10 and 8—Horseman’s Dagger. 8 and 9—English again been ridden down by the close of horsemen, ridifg boot to boot, ing an enemy like a wall, and charg- ing home, although man to man the Oriental riders would have had little cdifficuity in disposing of their opponents, AS Irregulars the horsemen of Asia were un- rivaled, but could seldom withstand serried masses of the European cavalry.

Under John Sobieski it reached its nighwst but was also straicht, and in the contests of the Roman eguites with the horsemen of lersia and Parthia it was clearly proved that as a cavalry weapon the sabre was the superior. As cavalrymen the Romans never were first rate, never belonging to the same Class as the famous Companion Cavalry of the great Macedonian. ARMOR-SMASHING WEAPONS, It was, however, in the Middle Ages that hand-to-hand weapons attained their most yicturesqgue and various development. Vith the disappearance of the trained heavy infantry the mailed horseman came to the front, and until the English bow- men andthe Swiss pikemen again brought infantry to its proper position the world was ruied by heavy cavalry. With the general adoption of steel armor, whether mallor plate, a new class of weapons was called for; weapons that depended more for their efficiency on weight thanon point or edge; smashing power, not penetration, was sought for. Hence arose the huge two handed swords, the hiit of which reached to the warrior’s shoulder, while the point jarred against his heel. Men mounted on the clumsy cart-horses that alone could sus- tain the weight of amailciad knight were too unwieldy for the rapid evolutions and beautiful sword play of the chivalry of the East, and their swords resembled rather iron clubs than the Keen Persian and Saracen sabers. With these heavy weapons, neces- sarily without proper balance from the un- due length of the blade, fencing was impos- sibleand the medieval warrior hammered away at his enemy without thoughtof guard- ing, relying on his armor for protection. AX, MALL AND MORNING STAR. The swor d was supplemented by weapons practically unknown to Greek or Roman, all adopted for smashing armor. Chiefamong these was the ax. The double-headed ax, a footman’s arm, was the favorite weapon of the flerce : Scandinavian sea rovers whose long ships penetrated every bay and harbor on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coast,and under Canute conquered England. The Anglo-Saxons adopted it, but the ax went down at Hastings before the Norman lance, and never reappeared save in a greatly modified form. But in its modified form it was more terrible, as the cry of ‘*bows and bills,’’ which was the prelude to victory on many a stricken field proved. The bill was the favorite hand-weapon of English eomen. the parti-gun that of the German andesknecht, and the halberd and noble two-handed brand of the Swiss mountaineer. Among the Germans and Scandinavians a peculiarly effective weapon was the ‘*‘morning star,’’ a ball of metal studded with long, sharp spikes, and either attached to a staff or swung froma pole bya short chain, thus acting like a Mall. ‘the ‘*Holy Water Sprinklers’’ of the Austrians werealater development of the morning star. Bills witha hook at the back were used to hook into sword belt or armor joint, and thus dragthe maiiclad knight from his saddle to be shelled like a lobster by the knives of the variets. The Glaive and the Volgue were @ compromise between sword and ax, ssing the curved edge ofthe sabre, with the weight of the partizan. Battie hammers of various forms were popular among the French and the Poles, the great Charfés Martel, or the Hammer, taking his name fyom his favorite weapon. The famous battle-ax of Richard Coeur de Lion had twenty pounds of steel in its head. A favorite horseman’s weapon was the mall. At first it was merely an fron club, but was soon highiy and variously developed tng etaee or spikes being added. With ¢t disap- rance Of armor all these weapons isappeared also, Leaving the swora.

This weapon may be divided into two classes, the pike and the lance, the former a footman’s, the latter a horseman’s weapon. ‘The pike is almost ex- clusively a European weapon. and attained its best and most effective form early tn its history. Withinan equa! space of time no weupon on earth has gained = such well deserved fame as the Macedonian Sarissa. The phalanx of Philip and Alexander represents the perfection of shock tactics, and in its own line has never been equaled. The most careful training was required to wield this heavy weapon, twenty-one feet in length, and at the same time, to Keep jhe Macedonian formation, sixteen ranks of ikes wedged in the closest array. The oman hasta or pike was much relied on in the early days of the republic, but gradually gave place to the sword, The formidable pilum, like other javelins, belongs not to the class of hand-to-hand, but to missile weapons. During the middle ages the pike was carried by many Of the infantry, the Scotch spearman being pecullarly skillful in its use, but asa general rule the imperfect training of the footmen prevented the co- hesion requisite tothe effective use of this arm, and the heavy cavalry rode them down. It was not until the Burgundian ordnance, the finest body of horsemen in Europe, dashed itself to pieces against the pikes of the Swiss that the long pike again arose to prominence. But the swiss hedgehog was far inferior to the Macedonian halanx, partizans and mighty double- anded swords were mixed with its array,and it went down before the round bucklers and ays rapiers of the Spanish infantry. But rom the Fourteenth to the opening ofthe Eighteenth century a part of the infantry of most armies bore the pike. To-day it is common among African tribes. The stabbing assegui ofthe Zulus isa spear only in name, being in its form and use singularly closely allied to the Roman gladius.’ The bayonet is simply a convenient form of pike. THE HORSEMAN’S LANCE, Like the sword, the lance had its earliest development in the East, and is stil! much used throughout Asia, while its popularity has within very recent times spreadin a re- markabile manner in Europe, as by a recent order all the German cavalry Were armed with tubular steel lances. light horseman of Hindostan and Turkestan consists of a long steel point set ona pole of wood or bamboo, Its form has never varied to any considerable extent,and the weapons that opposed Alexander on the banks of the Hydaspes, that crowded close at tha heels of Saladin’s fleet barb, that swept from the steppes of Central Asia behind the wild Genghis Khan, and that followed the horse- tails of the Turkish Pachas closely resemble those carried by the Bombay cavalry of Vic- torila, the Cossacks of Alexander and the Uhlans of the Prussian monarch. The Knightly lance of the middle ages was a somewhat differentimplement. Valued less for its power of penetration than for the shock that it would give, the steel head was thickened and shortened and the shaft made strong and heavy. A light lance would splinter harmlessly on the breast of a warrior sheathed in Milan steel, and it therefore became necessary to provide a weapon that could hurl him from his seat even ifunableto penetrate his panoply of proo!t. The exquisite skill required forthe proper use of the Nght lance disappeared with its change of form, and from one ofthe most elegant weapons in existence it became a mere pole by which the knight, who constantly tended to developing intoasimple human projectile; would im- partiashock. Singularly enough, with the disappearance of heavy armor the lance was dropped, although then more effective than before. Itis not until within very recent times thatit has again been generally re- sumed, GIANT TORTOISES. Survivors of an Ancient Race of Huge Turtles. The Galapagos tortoises are the only sur- vivors of an ancient race of huge turtles which lived so long ago as the early partof the tertiary epoch, Specimens weighing from 600 to 700 pounds have been captured, and there is authentic record of one inaividual taken which tipped the scales at 870 pounds, However, nearly all of the very big ones have been caught and devoured, and it will not be long before the race Is exterminated—literally *‘eaten off the face of the earth by gluttonous man.’’ It is recKoned that 10,000,000 of these turties have been taken from the islands since their discovery. No provisions for ships were ever found equal to these tortoises, which will remain in good condition for a year without food or water. Asupply of the latter is carried by the antmals in a bag, which contains as much as two gallons sometimes. They are very sa- gacious, and when kept on deck can be taught to confine’ themselves to any space arranged for their accommodation by whip- pingthem gently with arope’s end when they getoutofit. The meat is said to be finerthanthat ofagreen turtle. Dampler, the expilorer who visited the islandsin 1634, wrote thatthe flesh resembled a pullet’s in favor, ‘*‘The oil,’’ he says, ‘‘we kept in jars, and usedit instead of butter to eat with dumplings.’’ kogers, in 1707, wrote: ‘‘The eggs of the turtle aré as big as those of a goose, white, hard shells, and exactly round. Two men rode on the back of one of the creatures, which weighed 700 pounds, and , it carried them with ease.’’ In 1793 Colnet reported that the nests of the tortoises ‘‘were thrown up in circular form, never containing more than three eggs, which are heated by the sun, a hole being so contrived as to ad- mit its rays through its daily ¢Course.’’ This last very remarkable statement would seem to imply that these chelonians were some- what familiar with astronomy. The tortolses are vegetable feeders, brows- ing chiefly upon a succulent cactus. It 1s said that they are entirely deaf, so that even the report of a gun does not startle or alarm them.

But on one occasion ‘‘he told me (says Mr. Purcell) that be had received a letter from the vestry peo- ple announcing that the grave at Lavington was falling into decay, and asking for in- structions about putting and keeping it in repair. My reply was: ‘It is best so; let it be.

When a Chinese detective is sent out to ap- prehend a criminal or fugitive from justice he does not put on a pair of strong shoes and search at once for his man. He goes to his favorite temple and dropping on his knees before Tsoy Bok Sing Kwon, the God of good luck and fortune, delivers himself in this fashion: ‘Oh, most gracious, kind, generous, just and good Tsey Bok Sing Kwon, look with favor upon your slave, alonely and humble umtchar (detective), who can do nothing without your aid, Point out the paths to me that our good Emperor may rejoice, and that I may be favored tn his eyes.’’ Then he pours fine wine on the floor, throws his boc-bon, or luck sticks, pays the Keeper his fee and goes out to detect. In some mys- terious manner, leisurely and crude as it may appear, he generally manages to bring his man to justice witha strong neck hold, much to his own personal profit, The most inter- esting thing he does, perhaps, is to change 2 fry Locked up for 100 Days. his name before starting out. That he con- siders a most important and effective dis- guise. He is then ready for business. When he comes back with his prisoner he tells fabulous. stories of his travelsto the friends he meets inthe restaurants, He de- scribes in detall how he wenttothe church- yard and called uponthe spirit ofhis old friend, Lee Moy Tong or Bok Opp Suey, to help him; how they went, hand in hand, like two American children going to Sunday- school, down to the bottom of the sea, up among the starsand through mountalns in search of the offender, and how they at last found him itmbedded in a solid rock or hidden in the stomach ofa big fish, holding on for dear lifetoits ribs. This is belleved, every word of it, and the Umtchar becomes a hero. One ofthe greatest characters In Chinese history, a man who was so famousin his time that he was almost worshipped, was Pow Ming Ching,a magistrate. He is the hero ofevery Chinese detective story which has ever been written, anda work would not be complete without him. His life has been written at leastone hundred times and the Chinese say that everything which 1s told about him is true. At any rate, the story is wortn telling.

The.rose was put in a basket with a lot of others, and when the girl reached home she began making the roses into bouquets. When the work was all done she laid down upon her bard bed to sleep a little until the morning, when she had to arise early so that she could go out and sell her flowers.

They neglect to fill in the details of his boy- hood life, and neglect tosay whether he went on sain-tchu drunks in his youth. He became a magistrate and a detective, and then the foundation stone of the fame was laid.

In the morning the girl had her flowers on the street to find customers. The people seemed to ike flowers that morning, for ina few minutes only one bunch was left, and that bunch held the butterfly. At last an old woman came along. ‘*Have you any flowers left?’’ she asked, **Yes,’’ answered the girl, ‘‘l have one bunch.’’ ‘*‘Well, give me those quick, for my hus- band will kill me if I do not hurry back ome.’’ She bought the flowers with the butterfly, which she did not see, and started to go home. On the way she began talking to her- self. ‘*Ever since that nicht when he came home with blood on his hands he has treated me like a slave.’’ The butterfly crawled up outof the rose a little and listened. ‘*Yes,’’ she went on, ‘‘he Is gaits of some- thing and I’li find out what it red the butterfly. home she put the flow- usband,who ‘*there, see whatlI ‘*So will 1,’’ whis When she reache rought you.’’ Presently another man came into the room n to whisper to the sick man on the e butterfly changed into a gnat ana ‘*‘The magistrate has ordered that Chow this kind **You shall be beheaded.

Dr. Dixon proved himselfa good match for the eloguent Colonel in the controversy. In him diaiectic skiliand simple Christian cor- rectness are combined as they rarely are.

Dr. Briggs adds to the title the words—‘‘the Three Great Fountains of Divine -Authority’’—words which are a descriptive summing up of his views of the subject. The book contains seven lectures, five of which were prepared in response to requests to more fully setforth the views expressed in the inaugural address on the authority ofr Holy Scripture. Along with these are pub- lished a lecture on “Biblical History’’ and one on the **Messianic Ideal,’’ which were added because of direct bearing on the sub- ject of the other five. These lectures may be accepted as Dr. Briggs’ final statement or apology. His views are set forth ia clear language, the ineaning of which can never be mistaken.

AN INTERESTING CHAT WITH A NOTED WRITER OF DETECTIVE STORIES. “a { Special Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH. LONDON, April 25.—A great big breezy ath- lete, notin the least one’s ideal litterateur, came forward to meet me asI entered Dr. Conan Doyle’s little house in Norwood, wherein,having altogether given up his med- ical practice, he now devotes himself entirely to books and bookmaking. He told me he was looking forward with great joy tothe cricket season... He talked of his trav- els, and how he had once spent seven months inthe Arctic regions, ‘‘Never had such a jolly time in my-life.’’ He spoke of his experience in Vienna, where he had livedayear in order that he might make a special study of the eye. We discussed mutual friends in the South Sea, where he practiced as a doctor for eight years. We ex- changed opinions on America and the Ameri- cans. He would fain establish a more friend- ly and familiar footing between the two countries. And then at last he got tohis books. I asked him how on earth he had evolved apparently out of his own inner con- sciousness such an extraordinary person as his detective, Sherlock Holmes, with which readers of the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH are so familiar. ‘‘Oh! but,’’ he cried, with a hearty ringing laugh it does one good to hear. ‘*‘Oh! but if you please he is not evolved out of any one’s inner consciousness. Sherlock Holmes Is the literary embodiment, ifI may so express it, of my memory ofa professor of medicine at Edinburgh University, who would sit in the patients’ waiting room with a face like a red Indian and diagnose the people as they came in before even they had opened their mouths. He would tellthem their symptoms, he would tell them details of their lives, and he would hardly ever make a mistake. ‘Gentlemen,’ he would say to us students standing around, ‘lam not quite sure whether this man is a cork cutter or a slater. I observe a slight callous or hardening on one side of his forefinger, and a little thickening on the outside of his thumb and thatis a sure sign he is either one or the other.’ His great fac- ulty of deduction was at times highly dra- matic. ‘Ah!’ he would say to another man, ‘youare a soldier, a non-commissioned offi- cer and you have served in Bermuda. Now, how did {know, gentlemen? He came into the room without taking his hat off, as he would gointo an orderly room. He was a soldier. A slight authoritative alr combined with his age, shows he was an N. O. U. A slight rash on the forehead tells me he was in Bermuda and subject to a certain rash known only there.’ **So I got the ideafor Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock is utterly inhuman, no heart, but with a beautifully logical intellect. I know nothing about detective work, but theoretic- ally ithas always had a great charm for me. The best detective in fiction is E. A. Poe’s ‘Mons. D.;’ then ‘Mons. Le Cocq,’ Gabo- riau’s hero, The great defect in the detec- tive of fiction is that he obtains results with- out any obvious reason, That isnot fair, it isnotart. I have written two little books about him. ‘A Study in Scarlet,’ the first thing I wrote, and ‘Signof Four.’ I get many Ietters from all over the country about Sherlock Holmes. Some. times from schoolboys, sometimes from com- mercial travelers, who are great readers, sometimes from lawyers pointing out mis- takes inmy law. One letter actually con- tained a request for portraits of Sherlock at different periods of his life.’’ ‘This is very interesting, Dr. Doyle, but I suppose your heart is in your historical novels?’* ‘*yes thatis the only work I really fancy. The ‘White Company’ is the best thing I have done. I endeavored in that to reconstruct the whole of the fourteenth century. In- deed, I had to do it. Scott always avoided it. IT had nothing to go by itn the way of previous fiction concerning that period. I read up no less than 150 books in preparation for that novel alone,’’ **Yours, then, is indeed the genius that comes of a capacity for taking infinite pains,’’ Irepliedin wondering admiration, and I bid my hearers think for a moment what such an appalling amount of Study im- plies, what resolution, what energy; what valiant hopefulness! **Well,’’ said Dr. Doyle, very modestly, ‘**I don’t know that; you see I was obliged to do it. Ireally wanted to get an tdea of the cen- tury from every point of view, from the point of view of the soldier, of the monk, of the artisan; butit paysintheend. I really think I have succeeded fn reconstructing the four- teenth century. Any one who in the future wants to write on it, willrefer to ‘The White Company’ asastandard workon that spe- cial period. Iconsider it was the most glori- ous epoch in English history. The English alone were never so strong as just then. ’’ ‘*‘But how did you reconstruct the lan- guage?’’ As he said these last words tea came in, and with it his wife and sister, and somehow or another the conversation turned to Amer- ica, about which the novelist is evidently very enthusiastic. ‘‘I take the greatest pos- sible interest in all things American,’’ said he. ‘*There is, or ought to be, so little dif- ference between them and us. And we must rememberthis, they are the coming power. The center of gravity of the whole race has shifted to the West, and I believe in time that every Saxon will be united under one form of government. Home rule, with a cen- ter of authority, and the Anglo-Saxon will swing the sword of justice over the’whole world. **We will not permit then the horrors of Siberia or the like.

On the south and west coasts, which are low, palms and cocoanut trees grow in luxuriance to the Wwater’s edge and give to the island that uresque appearance for which Ceylon is noted. On theeast the coast is high and rocky, forming good harbors for the large ping trafic of the island, and it is on this side that all the large commercial! towns are situated. Thecountry in the north is low and in the south mountainous. The summits of the highest ridges are covered with verdure the year round and froma temperate region of 60 deg. on the each caste the descendants must follow the | occupation of their parents, Sons of farm- ers wry or smiths must follow the calling of their father, and daughters must marry men of their father’strade. They ao not mingle socially, nor do they eat or wor- ship tagether. The Brahmin caste is the highest. ao -B work. Then come the farm- ers servants, blacksmiths, gold- smiths, and the washers of these classes, then the tree .cliimbers and professional washer- men, then women drum beaters and their washermen,. Eacn caste keep totheirown work, associate with none but members of their caste, and each caste is heartily de, spised b the caste above them. All castes wut the lowest, have washer- men and this accounts for the presence of so many washers in the rivers and small streams of the country every day in the week. With the highest castes the wash- ing is a task, as more clothes, generally linen, are worn by them, as itis a mark of wealth to possess many cloths. Among the poorer classes only one cloth is worn, a yard of white or bleached stuff girdled and orepmee about the waist and loins. In the religion of the Hindoos cleanliness is the first precept, and all followers of the creed observe it. The washing of these **‘cloths’’ is an interesting performance, Soap is unknown, ard even were it to be had purchase of it. The washerman wades knee- deep into the river or creek, and after rinsing the garment beats it over the bank or in the stream. This operation is per- formed several times, and the wet cloth is left on the sand or grass to dry. Itis pressed and stretched, and on) being delivered tothe owner, the washer- man’s services are rewarded by a gift of HINDOO WASHERMEN, peaks at an altitude of 7,000 to 8,000 feet one may decend northward to the plateaus and lowlands where the temperature reaches the dizzy height of 115 degs., and where fruit trees give forth blossoms and ripe frult atthe Sametime.

One of the walls bears a plate set up by the Albany Commemorative Sociéty, the tnscrip- tion on which says that mansion is the oldest in the United States, and was bulit in 1642. Behind it was a well, upon the coping of which, according to tradition, ‘‘Yankee Doodle’’ was composed, during the French and Indian war, which preceded the war of the Revolution. The oldest house in thecity of New York, atthe southeast corner of Pearl and Broad streets, has recently been adapted to modern requirements, butits walls are still intact. It was builtin the early part of the eigh- teenth century as the city home of Etienne DeLancy. Sometime before the warof the revolution began it had become a tavern, and its coffee room and its liandlotd, ‘‘Black Sam’’ Fraunce, were famous abouttown. A British ship lying off the battery, the Asia by name, fired a cannon ball into New York dur- i the stamp outbreak and bedded it into the walls of Black Sam’s tavern, The ‘‘long room’’ ofthis tavern was the scene of Gen. Washington’s farewell to his officers. A galoon and shoemaker shop are now to be found on the street floor of this historic resi- dence and the legend ‘‘Furnished Rooms To Let’’ appears on a sign near the Pearl street entrance. The oldest wheat that ever sprouted was the ‘‘mummy wheat’’ taken bythe famous Egyptologist, Wilkinson, from the cere- ments ofa mummy in the year of 1840” The mummy came froma tomb supposed tobe nearly four thousand years old. Fifteen or twenty stalks sprung from each of the grains, which were planted, bearing re markaDly long ears, some of them more than six inches in length. The dryness of the Egyptian climate is supposed to have con- tributed in some way to the preservation of vitality in this wheat. In 1888 David Drew, of Plymouth, N. H., is said to have come into possession of some grains of maize also de- clared to have been taken from a mummy four thousand years old. The stalks which grew from these grains under Mr. Drew's watchful care attained a height of more than six feet, and showed many of the character- istics of ourcorn. There was no tassel and Oldest Portrait of Christ. no silk, the only thing ike an ear being a cluster of little spikes studded with grains, each ina husk by itself, the whole growing at the top of the staik. The oldest American playwright is thought to be Charles Gayler; 184 of his plays have been produced in this country. He took up the profession of play writing in the year 1849, and is, therefore, the pioneerin it. He was a friend of the elder Jefferson, Fitz- James O’Brien, Edward Wilkingon and Dion Boucicault. During the fifties, the remark- able statement is made, one of Mr. Gayier’s piays was running at each one of the six first-class theaters then in existence in the city of New York, ‘*The.

He entered the University of Vermont in 1811, became tutor in the family of a wealthy planter in Fredericksburg, Va., after studied law and opened an office in 1821. Col. Parker is said to be tne oldest editor in the country. He is also the oldest living member ofthe New Hampshire bar. In 1823 he assumed editorial charge of the New Hampshire Statesman at Concord, Inthe year 1826 he was appointed by Gov. Morrill a special escort to bring Gen. Lafayette from Boston to Concord on a visit and did so. Samuel Sands, who first put into typein the year 1814 the ‘‘Star Spangled Banner’’ from the immortal manuscript of Francis Scott Key, died last summer in his 92d year. He was the oldest printer in the United States. From the year 1811 to 1891 he was eftther editor, printer or publisher.

It is believed to date from the second century, and represents its subject with long oval face, brown hair and brown beard, The oldest bank note now in existence is in the British Museum and was issued from the imperial mint of China at the beginning of the reign of the first Ming Emperor. The first bank in Europe was that at Barcelona, established in 1401. This Chinese bank note Is supposed to date back to 1100, The oldest and biggest apple tree in the State of Ohio standson the Silas Oaks farm at Newburg, O.

Thd oldest people in the Bible, if the translation of the terms deserib-. ing their ages has been correctly done, were these: Adam, 9380; Seth, 912; Enos, 90; Cainan, 910; Jared, 962; Methuselah, 969, an Noah, 950. Iltis contended thatthe reading: all the days that Adam “Mhved were nine hundret and thirty years,’’ should be ‘‘were an hundred yearsand thirty and nine.’’ If this be correct, the ages re- Speer of Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, ared, Methuselah and Noah would be 139, 131, 114, 119, 117. 124 and 159, instead of the much greater ficures heretofore given. There is stillanother theory that the word trans- lated years really means months. Were that true, to obtain the correct age of these wor- thies it would be only necessary to divide their biblical age by twelve, which would make them not so very old after all. : OHN PAUL BOCOOK, .

i = iin St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, Way 8, 1899, THE LOST LEGION. A SIGHT EXPEDITION IN INDIA TO CAPTURE GULLA KUTTA MULLA, A NOTED REBEL LEADER. | BY RUDYARD EIPLING. ‘Written for the Buxpay Post-Disratcn. Copyright. When the Indian mutiny broke out, anda little time before the siege of Delhi, a regi- - mentof Native Irregular Horse was stationed at , on the frontier of India. That tcaught what John Lawrence called time ‘‘the prevalent mania,’’and would ve thrown in its jot with the mutineers had it been allowed todoso. The chance never came, for as the regiment swept off down south it was headed off by aremnant of an En- glish corps into the nflls of Afghanistan, and there the newly conquered tribesmen turned against itas wolves turn against buck. It was hunted for the saxe of its armsand ac- couterments from hill to hill, from ravine to ravine, up and down the dried beds of rivers and round the shoulders of biutfs, till it dis- appeared as water sinks in the sand—this of- ficerless, rebel regiment. The only trace left of its existence to-day is anominal roll drawn up in neat round hand and countersigned by an officer who called himself ‘‘ Adjutant, late —— Irregular Cavalry.’’ The paper is yellow with years and dirt, but on the back of it you can still read a pencil note by John Lawrence, to this effect: ‘‘See that the two native officers who remained loyal are not deprived of their estates. J.L.’’ Of 650 sabers only two stood strain, and John Law- rence,in the midst of all the agony of the first months of the mutiny, found time to think about their merits. That was more than thirty-six years ago and thetribesmen across the Afghan border who helped to annihilate the regiment are now old men. Sometimesa grey beard speaks of his share inthe massacre. ‘*They came,’’ he will say, ‘‘across the border, very proud, calling upon us torise and kill the English, and go down to the sack of Delhi, But we who had just been conquered by the same English knew that they were over bold, and that the Govern- ment could account easily for those down- country dogs. This Hindustani regiment, therefore, we treated with fair words, and kept standing in one place till the redcoats came after them very bot and angry. then this regiment ran forward a little more into our hills to avoid the wrath of the English, and we lay upon their flanks watching from the sides of the hills till we were well assured that their path was lost behind them. Then we came down, for we desired their clothes, and their bridles, and their rifies, and their boots—more especially their boots. That was a great killing—done slowly.’’ Here the old man will rub his nose and shake his long snaky locks, and lick his bearded lips and grin till the yellow tooth stumps show. ‘‘Yea, we killed them because we needed their gear, and we knew that their lives had been for- feited to God on account of their sin—the sin éf treachery to the salt which they had eaten. They rode up and down the valleys, stumb- ling and rocking in their saddles and howling for mercy. We drove them slowly like cattle till they were all assembied in one place, the fiat, wide valley of Sheor Kot. Many had died from want of water, but there still were many ieft, and they could not make any stand. We went among them pulling them down with our hands two at a time, and our boys killed them who were new tothe sword. My share of the plunder was such and such—so many guns and so many saddles. ‘The guns were good in those days. Now we steal the Government rifles, and despise smooth barrels. Yes, beyond doubt we wiped that regiment from off the face of the earth, and even the memory of the deed is now dying. But men say——’’ At this point the tale would stop abruptly, and it was impossibie to find out what men said across the border. The Afghans were always a secretive race, and vastly preferred doing something wicked to saying anything at all. They would be quiet and well- behaved for months, till one night, without word or warning, they would rush a police post, cut the throats ofa constable or two, dash through a village, carry away three or four women and Withdraw, in the red glare of burning thatch, driving the cattle and ats before them to their own desolate hiils. The Indian Government would become al- most tearful on these occasions. First, it would’ say, *‘Please be good, and we'll for- give you.’’ The tribe concerned in the latest depredations would collectively put its thumb to its nose and answer rudely. “Shen the Government would say: ‘‘Hadn’t you better pay upalitue money for those few corpses you left behind you the other might?’’ Here the tribe would temporize, and-lie and bully, and some of the younger men, merely to show contempt of authority, would raid another police post andfire into some frontier mud fort and, if lucky, killa real English officer. Then the Government Would say: ‘‘Obvserve; if you really persist in this line of conduct you will be hurt.’’ If the tribe knew exactly what was going on in India it would apologize or be rude, accord- ing as it learned whether the Government was busy with otherthings or able to de- vote its full attention to their perform- ances. Some of the tribes knew toone corpse how far to go. Others became ex- cited, lost their heads, andtold the Govern- menttocomeon. With sorrow and tears, andoneeye on the bLritish taxpayer at home, whoinsisted on regarding these ex- ercises as brutal wars of annexation, the Government would prepare an expensive little field brigade and some guns, and send allupintothe hills to chase the wicked tribe outofthe valleys, where the corn grew, intothe hill tops, where there was nothing toeat. The tribe wouldturn out in full strength and enjoy the campaign, for they knew that their women would never be touched, that their wounded would be nursed, not mutilated, and that as soon as each man’s bag of corn was spent they could surrender and palaver with the English gen- eral as though they had been a real enemy. Afterwards, years’ afterwards, they would pay the blood money, driblet by driblet, tothe Government, and tell their children how they had slain the red-coats by thousands, The only drawback tothis kind of picnic war was the weakness of the red- coats for solemnly blowing up with powder their fortified towers and keeps, This the tribe always considered mean. Chief among. the leaders of the smaller tribes—the little clans, who knew to a penny the expense of moving white troops @gainst them—was a priest-bfnadit-chief, whom we will call the Gulla Kutta Mullah. His enthusiasm for border murder as an art was almost dignified, He would cut down a mail runner from pure wantonness, or bom- bard a mud fort with rifle fre when he knew that our men neededto slecp. In his leisure moments he would go on the circuit among his neighborsand tryto incite other trives to deviltry. Also he kept ai kind of hotel for. fellow outlaws in his own Village, which lay in a valley called Ler- gund. Any respectable murderer on that pection of the frontier was sure to lie up at Bersund, for it was reckoned an exceedingly safe plate. The sole entry toit ran through @ narrow gorge, which could be converted into a death trap in five minates. It was surrounded by high hills, reckoned inac- cessible toall save born mountaineers, and here the ‘Gulla Kutta’ Mullah lived in great state, the head of a colonyof mud and stone huts, andin each mud hut hung some portion of a red uniform an the plunder of dead men. The government wished for his capture and invited him formally to come out and be on account of seventeen murders in which be hadtaken a direct part. He re- ; **I am only twenty miles, as the crow fies, Come and fetch me.’’ you will be.’’ the hanged Mullah let the matter drop | ' care anything about their work; but from hismind. He knew thatthe patience ofthe Government was long as a summer day, but he did not realize that its arm was as longasthe winter night. Months after- wards, whenthere was peace onthe border and all India was quiet, the Indian Govern- ment turned jn its sleep and remembered the Guila Kutta’ Mullah at Bersund, with his thirteen outlaws. The movement against him of one single regiment—wgjch the tele- grams would have translated as war—would have been highly impolitic. This was atime for silence and speed, and, above all,absence of bloodshed. You must know that all along the North- west frontier of India there is spread a force of some thirty thousand foot and horse, whose duty itis to quietly and unostenta- tiously shepherd the tribesin frontof them, They move pp and down and down and up, from one desolate little post to another; they are ready to take the field at ten minutes’ notice; they are always haif inand half out ofa difficulty somewhere along the monoto- nous line;their lives are as hard as their own muscles, and the papers never say any- thing about them. It was from this force that the Government picked its men. One night at the station where the mounted night patrol fire as they challenge, and the wheat rolls in great blue-green waves under our cold northern moon, the officers were playing billiards in the mud-walled club- house, when orders came to them that they were to goon parade at once fora night drill. They grumbled and went to turn out their men—a hundred English troops, let us say, 200 Goorkhas, and about a hundred cavalry of the finest native cavalry in the world. When they were on the parade ground it was explained tothem in whispers that they must setoff at once across the hills to Ber- sund, ‘em off, by gad! You’re squandering them all over the place. There’s a troop behind you now!’ ‘*So I was thinking,’’ said the subaltern calmly. ‘‘I have all my men here, sir. Better speak to OCarter.’’ ‘*Oarter Sahib sends salaam and wants to know why the regiment is stopping,’’ saida trooper to Lieut. Halley. *‘*Where under heaven is Carter?’’ said the Major. ‘*‘Forward with his troops,’’ was the an- swer. **are we walking inaring then, or are we the center of a blessed brigade?’’ said the Major. By this time there was silence all along the column. The horses were still; but, through the drive of the fine rain, men could hear the feet of many horses moving over stony ground, **We’re being stalked,’’ said Lieut. Halley. **They’ve no horses here. Besides they’d have fired before this,’’ said the Major. “‘It’s —Iit’s villagers’ ponies.’’ **Then our horses would have neighed and spoilt the attack long ago. They must have been near us for half an hour,’’ said the subaitern, **‘Queer that we can’t smell the horses,’’ said the Major, dampening his finger and rubbing on his nose as he sniffed up the wind. **Well, it’s a bad start,’’said the subaltern, shaking the wet from his overcoat. ‘‘What shall we do sir?’’ **Get on,’’ said the Major. catch it to-night.’’ The column moved forward very gingerly for afew paces. Then there was an Oath,a shower of blue sparks, as shod horses crashed on small stones, and a man rolled over with a jangle of acouterments that would have waked the dead. **Now we've gone and done it,’’ said Lieut. Halley. ‘*‘All the hillside awake and all to climb in the face of amuskKetry fire. This comes of trying to do nighthawk work.’’ The trembling trooper picked himself up and tried to explain that his horse had fallen Over one ofthe little cairns that are built of loose stoneson the spot where a manhad been murdered. There was no needto explain. The Major’s big Austra- lian charger blundered next and the _ col- **We shall The English troops were to post them- | umn came toa halt in what seemed to be a i al - tin, oe a “= THE SAME YOUNG MAN PASSED ON THROUGH THE HUTS. selves round the hills at the side of the valley; | very graveyard of little cairns all about the Goorkhas would commMand the gorge and the death-trap, and the cavalry would fetch a long march round and get tothe back of the circle of hills, whence, if there were any difficulty, they could charge gown on the Mullah’s men, But orders were very strict that there should be no fighting and no noise. They were to return iu the morning with every round of ammunition intact, andthe Mullah and the thirteen outlaws bound in their midst. If they were successful, noone would Know or failure meant probably a small border war, in which the Gullah Kutta Mullah would pose as a pop- ular leader against a big, bullying power, in- stead of a common border murderer, Then there was silence, broken oniy by the clicking of the compass needles and snapping of watch cases as the heads of columns com- pared bearings and mace appointments for the rendezvous. Five minutes later the parade ground was empty; the green coats of the Goorkhas and the overcoats of the English troops had faded into the darkness, and the cavairy were cantering away inthe face of a blinding drizzle. What the Goorkhas and the English did will be seen later on, The heavy work lay with the horses, for they had to go far and pick their way clear of habitations, Many of the troopers were natives of that part of the world, ready and anxious to fight against their kin, and some of the officers had made private and unofficial excursions into those hills before. They crossed the border, found a dried river bed, cantered up that, walked through a stony gorge, risked crossing alow hill under cover of the darkness, skirted another hill, leaving their hoof marks deep in some ploughed ground, felt their way along another water- course, ran over the neck of a spur praying that no one would hear their horses grunt- Rest Easy. ing, ana soworked onin the rain and the darkness, till they had left Bersund and its crater of hillsalittie behind them, and to the left, and it was time to swing round. The ascent commanding the back of Bersund was steep, and they halted to draw breath in a broad level valley below the height. That is to say, the men reined up, but the horses, blown as they were, refused to halt. There was unchristian language, the worse for be- ing delivered in a whisper, and youheard the saddles squeaking in the darkness as the borses plunged. The subaitern at the rear of one troop turned in his saddle and said, very softly: ‘*Carter, what the blessed heavens are you doing at the rear? Bring your men up, man.’’ There was no answer, till a trooper re- plied: ‘**Carter Sahib is forward—not there. There is nothing behind us.’’ **There is,’’ said the subaltern. ‘‘The squad- rob’s Walking on fts own tail.’’ Then the Majorin command moved down to the rear, swearing softly and asking for the blood of Lieut. Halley, the subaitern who had just spoken. **Look after your rear guard,’’ said the Major. *‘Some of your infernal thieves have got lost. They're atthe head of the squad- ron, and you’re several kinds of idiot.’’ **Shall I tell off my men, sir?’’ said the sub- mp sulkily, forhe was feeling wet and cold. **Tell ‘em off |'* gaid the Major. Lip \dering among the dead men’s cairns. maneuvers of the Men said that without but at two feet high. The squadron are not reported. it felt like mounted quadrilles trainingand without the music; theirown way, walkedclear of the cairns, tillevery manof the squadron re-formed and drew reina few yards up the slope of the’ hfll. Then, according to Lieut. Halley, there was another scene very like the one which has been described. The Major and Carter insisted that all the men had not joined rank and that there were more of them in the rear clicking and blun- Lieut. again and re- Later on he Halley told off his troopers Signed himself to walt. told me: *‘*] didn’t much know and I didn’t much care what was going on. The row of that trooper falling ought to have scared half the country and 1 would take my oath that we were being stalked by a full regiment in the rearand tney were making row enough to rouse all Afghanistan, I sat tight, but nothing happened.’’ The mysterious part of the night’s work was the silence on the hillside. Everybody Knew that the Gutta Kutta Mullah had his outpost huts on the reverse side of the hill and everybody expected by the time tnat the Major bad sworn himself intoa state of quiet that the watchmen there would open fire. When nothing occurred, they said that the gusts of the rain had deadened the sound of the horses and thanked Providence. At last the Major satisfied himseif (a) that he had left no one behind among the cairns, and (b) that he was not being taken in the rearbya large and powerful body of cavalry. The men’s tempers were thoroughly spoiled, the horses were lathered and ungulet, and one and all prayed for the daylight. They set themselves*to climb up the hill, each man leading his mount carefully. Be- fore they had covered the lower slopes or the breast-plates had begun to tighten, a thunderstorm came up behind, rolling across the low hills and drowning any noise less than that of acanon. The first flash of the lightning showed the bare ribs of the ascent, the hill-crest standing steely blue against the black sky, the little falling lines of the rain, and, a few yards to their left fank,an Afghan watchtower, two-storied, built of stone and entered by a ladder from the upper story. The ladder was up, and a man witha rifie was leaning from the window. The darkness and the thunder rolled downinan instant, and, when the lull followed, a voice from the watchtower cried: ‘*Who goes there?’’ The cavalry were very quiet, but each man gripped his carbine and stood beside his horse. Again the voice called: ‘*Who goes there?’’ and in a louder key: ‘‘O, brothers, givethe alarm!’’ Now, every man in the cavalry would have died in his long boots svoner than have asked for quarter; but itis a fact that the answer tothe second call was a long wall of ‘‘Marf karo! Marf karo!’’ which means: ‘‘Have mercy! Have mercy!’’ It came from the climbing regiment. The cavalry stood dumbfounded, till the big troopers had time to whisper one to another: ‘*‘Mir Khan, was that thy voice? Abdullah, didst thou call?’’ Lieut. Halley stood beside his charger and waited. Solong as nofiring was going on he was content. Another fiash of lightning showed the horses with heaving flanks and nodding heads. The men, white eyeballed, glaring beside them, and the stone watchtower to the left. This time there was no head at the window and the ride iron-clamped shutter that could turn a rifie bullet was closed. **Go on, men,’’ said the Major. Get upto the top atany rate.’’ The squadron toiled forward, the horses wagging their tails and _the men pulling at the bridles, the stones rolling down the hillside and the sparks fiy- ing. Lieut. Halley declares that he never heard a squadron make so much nolse in his life. They scrambled up, he said, as though each horse had eight legs and a spare horse to follow hima. Even then there was no sound from the watch tower, and the men stopped exhausted on the ridge that overlooked the pit of darkness which the village of Bersund lay. Girths were loosed, curbchains shifted and saddles adjusted and the men dropped down among the stones. Whatever might happen now they had the upper ground of any attack. The thunder ceased and with it the rain and the soft thick darkness ofa winter night before the dawn covered them all. Except ng wes still, They , = for the sound of falling water among the ra- vines below. | last the horses, breaking ranks and choosing heard the shutter of the watchtower below them thrown back with a clang and the voice of the watcher calling: ‘‘Oh, Hafiz Ullah! The echoes took up the call, ‘‘La-la-la And an answer came from a watchtower hid- den around the curve of the hill; ‘*What is it, Shahbaz Khan?’’ Shahbaz Khan replied in the high pitched voice of the mountaineer: ‘‘Hast thou seen?’’ The answer came back: ‘‘Yes, God deliver us from all evil spirits!’’ There was a pause, and then: ‘Hafiz Ullah, lam alone! Come to me!’’ ‘‘Shahbaz Khan, I am alone also; but I dare not leave my post!’’ ‘*That is a ile; thou art afraid.’’ A longer pause followed, and then: ‘**I am afraid. Be silent! They are below us*still, Pray to God and sleep!’’ The troopers listened and wondered, for they could not understand what save earth and stone couid lie below the watch- towers. Shahbaz Kahn began to call again: ‘They are below us. Icanseethem. For the pity of God come over tome, Hafiz Ullah! My father slew ten of them, Come over!’’ Hafiz Ullah answered in a, very loud voice: **Mine was guiltless. Hear, ye Men of the Night, neither my father nor my blood had any part in that sin. Bear thou thy own pun- ishment, Shahbaz Kahn.’’ **‘Oh, someone ought to stop those two chaps crowing away like cocks there,’’ said Lieut. Halley, shivering under his rock. He had hardly turned round to exposea new side of him to the rain before a bearded, long-locked, evil-smelling Afghan, rushed up the hill and tumbled into hisarms. Halley sat upon him and thrust as much of a sword- hilt as could be spared down the man’s gul- let. ‘‘If you cry out, I kill you,’’ he said cheerfully. The man was beyond any expression of terror. He lay and quaked, gasping. When Halley took the sword-hilt from between his teeth, he was still inarticulate, but clung to Halley’s arm, feeling it from elbow to wrist. **The Rissala! the dead Rissala!’’ he gasped atiast. ‘‘It is down there!’’ **No; the Rissala, the very much alive Ris- Sala. Itisup here,’’ said Halley, unship- Ding his water bridle and fastening the man’s hands. ‘‘Why were you inthe towers s0 foolish as to let us pass?’’ “The valley is fullofthe dead!’’ said the Afghan. ‘‘It is better to fallinto the hands of the English thanthe hands of the dead. They march to and fro below there. 1 saw them dn the lightning.’’ He recovered his composure after a little and whispering, because Halley’s pistol was at his stomach, said: ‘‘Whatis this? There is no war between us now and the Mullah will Kill me for not seeing you pass!’’ **Rest easy,’’ said Halley, ‘‘we are coming to kill the Mullah, if God please. His teeth have grown too long. No harm will come to thee unless the daylight shows thee as a face whichis desired by the gallows for crime done. But what of the dead regi- ment?’’ *‘l only kill within my own border,’’ said the man, immensely relieved. ‘‘The Dead Regiment is below, The men must have passed through it on their journéy—four hundred dead on horses, stumbling among their own graves, among the little heaps—dead men all, whom we slew.’’ **Whew!’’ said Halley. **That accounts for my cursing Uarter and the Major cursing me. Four hundred sabres, eh? No wonder we thought there were a few extra men in the troop. Kurruk Shah,’’ he whispered to & grizzled native officer that lay within a few feet of him, ‘‘hastthou heard anything Of a dead Rissala in these hills?’’ **Assuredly,’’ said Kurruk Shah with a grim chuckle. ‘‘Otherwise, why did I, who have served the Queen for seven and twenty years and killed many hill-dogs, shout aloud for quarter when the lighMing revealed us to the watchtowers? WhenlI was a young man Isaw the killing in the valley of Sheor-Kot there at our feet, and I know the tale that grew up therefrom. But how can the ghosts of unbelievers prevail against us who are of the faith? Strap that dog’s hands a little tighter, Sahib, An Afghan Is like an eel.’’ ‘*But a dead Rissala,’’ said Halley, jerking his captive’s wrist. ‘*That 1s foolish @alk, Kurruk Shah. The dead are dead.“ Hold still, Sag,’’ the Afghan snigzled. **The dead are deadand for that reason they walk ut bDight. What needto talk? We bemen, we have our eyes and ears. Thou canst both see and hear them, down the hiliside,’’ said Kurruk Shah, compos- edly. Halley stared and listened long and in- tently. The valley was full of stified noises, as every valley must be at night, but whether he saw or heard more than was natural Halley alone knows and he does not choose to speak on the subject. At last, and just before the dawn, a green rocket shot up from the far side of the valley of Bersund, at the head of the gorge, to show that the Goorkhas were in position. A red light from the infantry at left and right answered it and the cavalry burnta white fare. Afghans in winter are late sleepers and it was not till full day that the Gulla Kutta Mullah’s men began to straggle from their huts, rubbing their eyes. They saw men in green and red and brown uniforms, leaning on thelr arms, neatly arranged all round the crater of the village of Ber- sund in a cordon that not even a wolf could have broken. ‘They rubbed their eyes the more when a pink-faced young man, who was noteven in the army, but represented the political department, tripped down the hillside with two orderlies, rapped at the door of the Gulla Kutta Mullah’s house andtold him guletly tostep out and be tied up for safe transport. That same young man passed on through the huts, tapping hereone cateran andthere another lightly with his cane; andaseach was pointed out, so he was tied up, staring hopelessly at the crowned heights around where the English soldiers looked down with incurlous eyes. Only the Mullah tried to carry it off with curses and high words, tili a soldier who was tying his hands said: **None o’ yourlip. Why didn’t you come out when you was ordered, instead of keeping usawakeall night? You’re no better than my own barrack-sweeper, you white-’eaded old polyanthus! Kim up!’’ Half an hour later the troops had gone away with the Mullah and his thirteen friends. The dazed villagers were looking ruefully ata pile: ef broken muskets and snapped swords and wondering how in the world they had comeso to miscalculate the forbearance of the Indian Government. It was @ Very neat little affair, neatly car ried out, and the men concerned were un- officially thanked for their services, Yet it seems to me that much credit is also due to another regiment wtlose name did not appear in the brigade orders, and whose very existence isin danger of being forgotten.

Although Bismarck has been retired from the chancellorship of Germany and is now a hermit at Friedrichsruh and Varzin, he still commands, toan uncommon degree, the at- tention of a most cosmopolitan crowd of admirers, There are thousands on both sides of the Atlantic who still look up to him as the greatest character this century has brought forth and anything new concerning his past or present life is eagerly scanned by them. The average American thinks that the ‘‘Man of Iron’’ has about as much humor in his system as the metal from which he has taken his name. That, however, is not true, for the ‘‘Iron Chancellor’’ has played so many pranks that by some he is even called a humorist. Whena young man Bismarck enjoyed most thoroughly the free and easy life of the university, being there not so much for the purpose of studying, but, as many young noblemen even up to our days, more in order to taste the sweets of unrestraintand pleas- ure and companionship with kindred spirits. The duel as well as the ‘‘commers,’’ by which name a students’ {banquet is known, were indulged in most freely. It happened at old Goettingen at such a *‘commers’’ that, in the heat of conversation, one of his fellow- students threw an empty wine bottle through the window into the street. This trivial occurrence was duly noticed by one of the ever-present police, and it was justas duly reported tothe authorities of the university. A German student is not under the authority of the municipal law of the townin which his university is located, butas an ‘‘academical citizen’’ he will be tried and punished bya tribunal commonly called ‘‘university court.’’ Before such a university judge Bismarck was duly sum- moned in the course of the next day. He must have had little respect for His Honor, for in- stead of the conventional dress suit, which is obligatory for such occasions, Bismarck donned his long smoking t, a big pair of riding boots, white leather pantaloons and puffing big volumes of smoke before him out of one of those well-known German pipes of extraordinary length he entered the court- room accompanied by his ferocious looking English bulldog. The Judge no sooner caught sight of the brute than he hastily retired be- hfnd his chairand fromthat pointof com- parative safety he asked Bismarck in timid accents: ‘*‘What do you want of me, sir?’ ‘*1? Nothing at all!’’ repiled Bismarck with provoking coolness. ‘‘But you’ seem to be anxious to see me; here I havea ‘citatus est dominus,’’’ and with that he presented his summons. keassured by these words the little judge regained his breath, and after fining Bis- marck 5 thalers for his non-compliance with the rules ofthe university in regard to his dress, and after banishing the innocent bull- dog trom his presence, he proceeded to ques- tion him on that bottle-incident of the prevl- ous night. **How came the bottle to be in the street, sir?’’ ‘*It has flown through the window,’’ an- swered Bismarck, guite at his ease. ‘*But some power or force must have caused this flying out of the window of the bottle—what wasthis force or power and how was it originated?’’ queried the Judge. ‘*It partly consisted, sir, in the contraction of the muscles, partly in the impelling for- ward of the arms,’’ replied Bismarck. ‘‘To illustrate it clearly I will take this ink-well, which you will please regard as the bottie in question, and—’’ ; But the Judge had already seen the point; he just bappened to be in a straight line be- tween Bismarck and the window, and was, therefore, desirous to havethe illustration gono farther. Bowing very politely to Bis- marck he dismissed him and discontinued the trial of the case. Some years after this occurrence Bismarck was connected with the Municipal Court at Berlin taking depositions in minor matters, and being something like an associate judge without, however, having any vote in the decision of cases. One day he was examin- inga genuine Berliner, who succeeded by his impertinent answers in thoroughly upsetting the equanimity of the young practitioner. At last, iosing all patience, Bismarck jumped from his chair and shouted at the man in stentorian tones: ‘‘Sir, behave yourself or 1’ll throw you out’of the office!’’ The Chief Justice, being present, slapped Bismarck familiarly on the shoulder anda by way of pacifying him \said to the enragod young man: ‘‘My dear sir, let me attend to all throwing out.’”’ Bismarck, somewhat quieted, resumed the examination, but it was only a short time when he again jumped up and yelled even louder than before: ‘*Sir, behave yourself or I’ll have you thrown out of the office by His Honor, the Chief Justice!’’ Bismarck is somewhat ofa story-teller ftm- selfamongst his intimates. Very amusing is his account of how he had once obtained a luncheon, Here is one of them: ‘‘Mr, Daumer, commonly Known as the ‘fat Daumer,’ a delegate to the Constitutional Assembly at Frankfurt, had accompanied me on a hunting trip into the vicinity of that city. When, at high noon, we sat down at last on the summit of one ofthe neighboring mountains, I discovered to my great conster- nation that I had forgetten to provide myself with some luncheon. Daumer, however, — outa big sausage and generously of- er to share it withme. I was ravenously hungry and the whole of that sausage would just about have sufficed to satisfy my appe- tite. Accordingly Il set about to devise a plan to obtain Daumer’s half also, The jovial old gentleman had but one fault—he was ridiculously superstitious and had a most uncontrollable abhorrence and fear against death and anything connected with or reminding one ofdeath. 1 knew his weak- ness and on that I based my plan. Carelessly pointing to the valley beneath us, I asked the old gentleman in an easy, off-hand y: ‘* *Say, Daumer, what’s that shining so bright and white down yonder?’ ‘**For heaven’s sake, Bismarck, that’s enough to spoll one’s appetite—it’s a ceme- tery !’ ‘**But, then, let us go down, my dear Daumer, and try to procure a place for our- selves—it must be delicious to sleep in such surroundings!’ said 1, quite cheerlly, chok- ing a laugh. ** "No, but that’s too much—I can’t eat an- other bite!’ . ‘*Old Daumer was true to his word—and I had geen luncheon,’’ concluded Bis- marck,. Alexander von Humboldt, the renowned scientist, does not seemto have been one of Bismarck’s favorites—at least the latter speaks quite lightly of him. Humboldt was often invited, Bismarck tells us, tothe court soctais of Frederic William 1V., where he always succeeded in monopo- lizing the conversation, reading aloud the biography of some unknown French scholar, interesting to noone but himself. Nobody paid any attention tohis reading, but that never deterred iiumboldt—he just kept on; he had the floor—he was satisfied. He could not bear to have any one else speak, no mat- ter how brillia a conversationalist he ma have been. sngth, Bismarck conspire with a friend against the loquacious scholar. At the next social evening at. court the friend, who was a ceeded in obtaining the word Defore Hum- boldt hadan vupportunity to doso. Every- body was close attention except Humboldt. Discontentodly he fidgeted about in his chair, heaping his plate with all kindsof eatables; at last he could not stand itany longer, an rising from his seat, he commenced: ‘‘On the summit of Mt. Everett—’’ but it was of no use, the story-teller just Kept on. Looking daggers at the audacious narrator, Humboldt coughed drylg and then once more resumed: ‘‘On the summit of Mt, Everett, 7,000 toises above——.’’ The story went on. ‘‘On the summit of Mt. Everett, 7,000 toises— above the level—of the Pacific Ocean——’’ Humboldt spoke guite loud now, words solemnly, the last abruptly—but it was of no avail, the conspirator just roceeded with his narrative as if nothin pened and everybody was or pretended to quite absorbed in his subject. That was un- precedented—Humboldt colla he Silent for the evening. A to now. ge from one wife, dated July 19,1883, Itis humorous in its good story-teller, suc. | 405 N.

The origin of the lily, according to the fable-loving Greeks, was this: ‘‘Jove, desir- ous of rendering the infant Hercules im- mortal, directed Somnus to prepare a sleep- ing-draught which Jupiter administered to his innocent spouse in acup of ambrosial nectar. Immediately after drinking this Juno fell intoa profound slumber. Whilst the mother of the gods was in this condition, Jove placed the babetoher breast in order thatit might imbibe the divine milk that would insure its immortality. The little Her- cules, inhis over-eagerness, drew the milk too quickly, and, some drops falling tothe ground, the white lily (emblematical of purity) immediately sprungup and became the stately flower consecrated to her wor- ship underthe nameof Juno’s rose.’’ The Jews believed that witchcraft and enchant- ments were to be counteracted by the use of the lily, and it Is related that Judith adorned herself with a gariand of these flowers before she cut off the head of Holofernes, In the catacombs of Kome, representations of the lily are frequently met with on the tombs of the Christian virgins. Thelily was especially the Virgin’s flower, and many of the early painters represented her holuing one in her hand. A certain Prince of Navarre, early inthe eleventh century, being danger- ously ill, dreamed that he saw the imave of the Virgin Mary issuing from a lily, and from that moment his recovery was rapid. In gratitude he instituted the order of St, Mary of the Lily, composed of thirty-eight Knights, of which he was Grand Master. In architecture the lily has always been a favor- ite ornament. Wefind it represented in the decorations of King Solomon’s temple, and among the Persians and Egyptians. Alsoin some of the ruins of old cunvents and monas- teriesin England. Susannah, so celebrated in Holy Writ, signifies, in Hebrew, the lily; and the ancient and important city of **Susa,’’ in Persia, derived its name from the same imperial flower. Itis the symbol of majesty, purity and love. The lily was the emblem of Fiorence as the ee ee | violet was of Athens, but it fs tn its assocta: tion with France that the most interestin portion of its history is to be found. It i Saidthat in the time of Clovis an ancient hermit had a vision ofan angel who bore in his hand a blue shield emblazoned with three xolden lilies, manded to give tothe Queen Clotilde, who in her turn, gave ittothe king, whose arms ‘fromthat time were everywhere victorious, Until then Clovis had borne three toads upon his shield. The name fleur-de-lis has by many been supposed to be derived from Fleur de Loys in which manner the twelve first Louis sign their names, and which was easily con- tracted into fleur-de-lis; Louis VII. having adopted this flower as his embiem, hence the flower of Louls—or, Fleur de Lvys, Others, again, derive it from the lilies that grew on the banksof the river Lis, which separated France and Artois from Flanders; and, as Artois was united to France by the marriage of Philip Augustus to the daughter of the Count of Flanders in 1191, we think this latter explanation most plaust- ble. However, we know that the lily became the peculiar flower of the royal family of Bourbon in France in 1244, and from that time to the fall of the Bourbon dynasty has served to rally the soldiers of France around their standard upon many a tented field—as teen | Sings in his ‘‘Battle of lvry,’’ the stirring words of Henry of Navarre: Now, by the lips of those ye love, Fair gentlemen of France, Charge for the ag lilies, Upon them with the lance!

The Notorious Murderer Admits That He Is Abbott, the Convict. =~ CHRISTIE WORDEN’S LOVER AND ASSAS- SIN WANTED IN SEVERAL STATES. a ; seemed » His Admission of His Identity a Surprise to Those Who Heard It—Abbott’s Ca- reer—The Murderand Chase—Story of His Capture at the Scene cf His Awful and Brutal Crime. HANOVER, N. H., May 7.—On the morning of Aug. 22 last, the identity of Frank Almy, the murderer of Christie Werden, as Abbott, the escaped convict, was first discovered and announced, but the fact was so steadily de- nied by Almy as to cause many people to doubt that the identification was correct. On that day, Almy was confronted by Warden Oakes of the Vermont State Prison, who announced that Almy was in reality G. O. Abbott, a highwayman and desperado, who bad escaped from prison six years before. The story of Abbott’s career as a criminal, which then came out, is a most remarkable One. It begins in the little town of Thetford, Vt.. where Abbott had Mved with his uncle, Israel Abbott, since about his 15th year. Itis gaid by citizens of Thetford, who remember the boy, that he wasa borncriminal. He was a bright young fellow, but the taint of criminality in his blood made his career, as ft ultimately developed, a fate from which he could not escape. Abbott, as a boy, showed a stong propensity for stealing; at one time stealing astove and setting up a blacksmith shop upon the bank of the Con- Becticut River. HIs FIRST TERM. As he became older he became a great favorite with the girls and was gentlemanly toward them. After breakingintoa jewelry gtore in 1875 young Abbott was sentenced to four years in State prison, but shortened his time considera@y by good behavior. After his release Abbott returned to Thetford and as far as known led an exemplary life for a year ortwo. In the year 1890, however, several of the neighboring towns were excited over numerous burglaries. Suspicion soon fell upon Abbott, and he was finally shot in the hip while attempting to escape from a store in which he had been operating in Ox- ford. The citizens formeda searching party, dafter half a day’s search Abbott was ina hut among the ledges which over- jook the station. Abbott made a desperate gesistance, but was finally captured. HIS CAREER. Abbott is known as an expert burglaranda Gesperate criminal. His age to-day would be ust about that of Almy’s. When he escaped m State Prison at Windsor, Vt.,a reward of $400 was offered for his capture, but he has Never been again arrested. At the time of his escape he was serving out a fifteen-year sentence, having been con- victed on nine different indictments for breaking and entering, to which he pleaded lity in January, 1881. In December, 1880, e was captured in the woods near Ely Sta- tion by a posse of ‘citizens under the leader- Sbip of Deputy Sherif Berry. Stored in the were found over 300 different articles which the gang had stolen, and among them was a rife which he had stolen from his captor, Deputy Sherif Berry. Abbott hed giso taken $500 from him. At the time of his Capture he made a desperate and determined fesistance and received a score of bullet wounds before he surrrendered, Four days after his capture he escaped from the officers and ran overa mile anda half with nothing on but his shirt and a bedspread thrown around him. He concealed himself in a rail- . goad culvert, but was soon found. Following the killing of poor Cliristie War den Almy’s conduct pointed unmistakably to the fact that there was a black chapter in his _ story back of that tragedy which he was ying to keep from being revealed, ALWAYS ARMED. There wasa refinementand generalair of breeding about him which could not be sguised by his rough farm clothes. His every action was that of a gentleman who was accustomed to associations with the highest and most cultivated society. In addi- tion to those features was his continual fear of discovery. He was always on the alert d always carried two large army revolvers fi ‘uss pockets. When askedjwhy he went so eavily armed he would say that he had lived several years in Texas, where everybody carried revolvers. Yet he was vidently afraid that something of his past e wourd become known. Whatthat was obody knows. He never talked of his past ite except once, when he entered the War- den household. Then he told Mr. Warden that he wasfrom the South. Almy further said that his father had died and that his mother had married again, ana he did not like his step-father. The outcome was, ac- cording to Almy’s story, thathe struck his eed over the head with achair and hen cleared out. Almy did not say where this occurred, but he did say he did not know whether or not he killed his step-father. Among the proofs that Almy was very anx- fous that his personal history should not be- come dnownTi was the manner in which he re- ceived and kept secret everything relating to higmail m&tters. He had a box at the Post- Office and gave the postmaster very explicit Girections to allow no other person to take nything from his box. At the Warden home e always Kept bis letters secreted. The suspicion that he was Abbott, the high- Wayipan, wanted in several States, has been Very strong, yet the community was sur- eee athis unexpected confession. What induced him to make it no one knows. He Is how under sentence of death anditis thought hat he hoped tounburcen his mind by aa- mitting that he wasthe escaped convict for whom the officers have s0 long searched. PURSUIT AND CAPTURE OF ALMY. The pursuit and capture of Almy after the murder of Miss Christie Warden, was a series Ofthrillingevents. Almy was seen rushing away fromthe spot where he had just mur- Gered the girl, with his revolver still in his nd. The witnesses to his fil@ht Christie ‘farden’s sister, Fannie, and a farmer whom the jatter had summoned to the spotin the hope of rescuing the poor girl, at once hur- ried into Hanover, N.H., near where the murder occurred, and gave the alarm. rHE ALARM. The firebells rang, the college turned out en Masse; students, professors, waiters, to- gether with the townspeople of all classes, upon hearing the alarm knew that something had happened, as no apparatus left the house and no sign of tire was visible in any direction. **Ohristie Warden has been murdered!’’ was shouted down the streets by messengers nt to arouse the people, and, in almosi less © than it takes toteilit, 1, men had as- sembled on the campus in frontof Dart- mouth College with revolvers, shotguns, rifles and muskets of every conceivable style andcaliber. ‘The President of the college sed the patnersns. The murderer was wn to be at large; but, having only a few rs’ start at the most, he could probably ca if suMicient exertion was made. **Before morning 4,000 men and boys were searching the country over. Before noon the Y regate was5,000. The county and adjoin- State of Vermont were aroused as never in recent history. There was a shot- Uarantine on every town, crossroads dge within a radius of twenty-five of Hanover. Foralongtime no trace murderer was found. The days into weeks, and the weeks intoa 4, although every possibile effort fin priso month, an was made to find the ber, he was asa ied spirit. THE HUNT FOR THE MURDERER. fnd were unknown —s almost un- as scarcely a trace of bis past ca- | placed there recently. reer or his real identity could be discovered. At the end of four weeks the excitement had not abated, and the newspavers were praed columns of matter about the mur- er daily. The circulation of the leadin newspapers in Boston increased from 30, to 50, copies per diem in consequence of the crime. Finally a story was sent out that most people considergd a ‘fake.’ It was to the effect that on several mornings freshly cut flowers had beer found on Christie’s grave, piaced there bySome unknown person. One day Mrs. War&en, while in the barnyard poereeae for some lost chickens, found secreted in a recess in the foundation wall of the barn, food and plates that were evidently This indicated to her mind that Almy was still in hiding around the promipes. _ She communicated the fact to her usband, and he in turn to some of the col- lege professors, who decided to watch the house that night and see if anything was to be seen. ALMY’S HIDING PLACE DISCOVERED. Soon after midnight the watchers while lying In the corn in a fleld adjoining the barn, saw aman come out of the stabie and walk slowly toward them, stopping under an apple tree inthe orchard within one hundred feet of where theylay. He picked up some ap- ples, ate them and put others in his pocket, and then went back whence hecame. They recognized him as Almy, and immediately hurried to the village, alarmed the towns- people and once more an army gathered on the campus. It was justdawn when they searched the Warden property. There were at least 1,000 men and boys present. Again all the fire- arms in the locality were brought into use. Almy, from the inside, knew that his last chance had come and when the first deploy of skirmishers entered the barn they found him sitting on a mow of hay commanding both entrances in the loft. with a revolver in each hand ready for business, There was not ahybody who wanted to go up, so they began firing through the side of the bara with an idea of driving him out. All day long, with a regiment outside, Almy held the lott. The militia compkhny came down and fired volley after volley from Winchesters through the barn. Finally two shots wounded the murderer, and when, late inthe afternoon, weak from the loss of blood, he was unable to lift his weaponsto take aim, he ceased firing and surrendered. It wasonly by the urgent Influence of the authorities thata lynching was prevented. He was brought to the hotel here and kepta fortnight, until his wounds.were sufficiently healed to allow his removal to jall at Man- chester, where he waited indictment and trial. By advice of counsel, when tried Nov. 18, he pleaded guilty, thinking to avoid the death penalty, but Chief Justice Doe, who satupon the case, decided differently, and he was sentencedto pay the penalty ofr his crime. HAYDN’S ‘‘CREATION.”’ Closing Concert of the Choral-Symphony Society—The Work and Singers. The closing concert of the present season of the Choral-Symphony Society, will be given on Tuesday night, May10, Haydn’s oratorio ‘‘*The Creation’’ will be the work presented. With the ception of Handel’s great ‘‘Messiah’’ it has been since its pro- duction nearly a century ago the most popu- lar ofall oratorios. This is not only due to the beautiful melodies of the solos, the thrilling harmonies of the choruses and the marvelous imitation in the accompanl- ment, but also as in the case of the **Messiah,’’ to the profound religious spirit which pervades the whole work and which willl render itimmortalas longas the Christian religion retains vitality. Haydn himself said, ‘“‘Never was I so plot as when com- posing ‘‘The Creation.”’’ I knelt down every day and prayed God to strengthen me for the work.’’ Andagain: ‘‘When compo- sition does not get on well I go tomy cham- her, and with rosary in hand say a few ‘aves,’ andthen the ideas return.’’ With the Catholic Haydn as with the Protestant Handel, who said that he felt as if taken up into heaven wnile writing the ‘Hallelujah,’ religion was a genuine thing and conse- quently a real source of inspiration for works whichare always understood and loved by those who have the same spirit. Only the infideland scoffer falls to see after having heard an adequate presentation, the match.- less beauties of these two great triumphs of religiousart. While Handel dashed off ‘The Messiah’ in a few weeks Haydn spent over two years on ‘The Creation,’ and yet the same spontaneity and freshness is in both, When urged to bring the work to a conclu- sion more rapidly he replied: ‘I spend much time over it because I intend it to last a long time.’ The verdict of nearly a century has indorsed his judgment. It wasimmensely popular from the start. Haydn’s friend Griesinger writes: ‘‘Haydn wrote ‘The Creation’ in his 65th year, with all the spirit that usually dwells in the breast of youth. I had the good fortune to bea witness ofthe deep emotions and joyous enthusiasm which several per- formances or it under Haydn’s own direction aroused in all HMsteners. Haydn also con- fessed to me that it was not possible for him to describe the emotions with which he was filled as the performance met his entire ex- pectation, and the audience listened to every note. ‘One moment I wasas cold asiceand the next I seemea on fire, and more than once feared | should have A stroke.’’* Haydn’s last appearance in public was at aperformance of the ‘‘Creation,’’ which took place in 1808, and the old man was so overcome by the enthusiasm of - his recep- tion and the beauty of his own work that he could not restrain himself and burst into tears. Whenthe wonderful passage, ‘‘And there was light,’’ cameand the audience broke into tumultuous applause, he madea motion of his hands toward heaven and said, **It came from thence.’’ This childish utter- ance gives the key tothe spirit of the whole work, which is one of implicit religious faith and trust, but putintothe most perfect ar- tistic form and set in the most exquisite melodies. Such melodies as ‘‘Rolling on Foaming Billows’’ forthe basso, with ‘‘Ver- dure Clad’’ for soprano, ‘‘In Native Worth’’ for the tenor; such a duet as **Graceful Consort,’’ such choruses as ‘**The Heavens are Telling,’’ have never been surpassedin their line, and are just as effective and popular in the closing years of the nineteenth century as they were in the last decade of the eighteentn. The chorus, which has been augmented by the Liederkranz Society, is in remarkably fine training, the orchestra promises to be excellent, and the soloists engaged are par- ticularly well fitted for their parts. Every music lover in St. Louls knows how Mrs. Corinne Moore-Lawson and Mr, Charles Humphries will sing the exquisite melodies and expressive recitations assigned to them, as they are already well known and im- mensely popuiar with the St. Louis public, and Mr. Ericsson Bushnell, the basso, has a great reputation in Eastern cities as one of the leading concert singers of our country.

Open Every Evening Until 9 O’Clock. 1120 and THE LOST TAHITI, No Trace of Her Living Freicht Discov- ered by the Steamer Eoston, New YORK, May 7.—Correspondence from Mazatlan, Mexico, under date of April 18, says the United Stutes steamer Boston has returned from her voyage tothe Rivilla Gi- gedo Islands to search for possible castaways from the brig Tahiti, lost lnst September. She arrived off the northern and eastern end of Socorro early on the morningof the 12th and proceeded to Braithewaite Bay on the southern side of the island and anchored ,this being the only anchorage. Search parties in charge of Lieut. Albert Gleaves and Ensign’ Cc. F. Hughes were sent on shore tosearch for traces. These parties covereda number of miles of the coast and penetrated some distance into the interior. The growth of bushes and cactus was almost impenetrable, the clothing being lit- erally torn from the officers and men. No traces of castaways were found, the only living things being sheep and birds. On the return of the search parties the ship was got under way and steamed around the isiand firing guns and blowing the steam whistie. All the time the island was covered by the glasses of the officers and no sign of life was seen. From Socorro the og | proce eded to and around San’ Benidicto Island, again firing gunsand blowing the whistle. This is a large barren rock incapable of supporting life. Also it is impossible to land onthe island in any except the smoothest weather, and then from the landing the restof the island is inaccessible. From San Benidicto the Boston went to Clarion Island, ja distance of miles, passing Partida, a small barrenrock. she arrived at Clarionon the morning of April 14, anchored in Sulphur Bay and sent search parties on shore in charge of the officers as before. ‘he parties searched for a number miles, but found to traces that man had ever visited this place. Snakes and birds were the only living things found there. The Tabiti was iost in September, 1691. She had 270 natives of the Wilbert Islands on board bound for the coffee plantations of San Benito, Mexico; besides the crew, her owner, H. H, Leavitt,and Henry Montgomery Scrym- ser, his guest, both of New York. Mr. Leavitt used to be the United States Consul at Guate- mala and Mr. Scrymser was the son of the late James mser, for many years a prominent New York importer in the Medit- erranean e. voyages together. The Tabiti of 290 tons Durden aed one of the fastest vessels of. her sThe Oct. 8 sav vessel bo Or ferred that the crew got away safely, but their fate thereafter was a matter of con. jecture. This «was a long way out of the regular course of vessels plying between San Fran- cisco and the coast points, and the captain concluaed that the brig was blown to'sea ina gale and was far out of her course when she capsized. ‘the steamship Roseville discovered the Tahiti on Noy, 25 eleven miles southwest of Lizard Point, not far from Manzanillo, Mex- ico, floating bottom up, deserted and with- out a sizn ofa small boatora lHving person, the indications being that the hrig had been capsized for thirty days or more and had drifted withthe tide from probably a long distance atsea. If the Tahitl went over thirty or thirty-five days before, with an allowance of a few milesa day for drifting, the disaster probably occurred 100 miles or more off the point of Lower Califor- nia and nearly two hundred miles from Socorro Island. Capt. Ferguson, the first Captain of the Tahiti, who had to remain behind at San Francisco at the last moment before the brig was to sail, carefully investigated the case, and worked up a theory so plausible that Secretary Tracy gladly put the United States crulser Boston at the disposal of the relatives of the Tahiti’s owner, Mr. a Leavitt, to explore Socorro -‘tIsland, The authorities at Washington [thought the crew and passengers could bave landed on the ruxged island ff the storm was not so severe that the small boats were swamped before they fairly got away from the brig. These isiands lie nearly 300 miles off the coast of Lower California and belong to the State of Colima, Mexico. Socorro, tue princl- alisland, is a mountain twenty-four miles ong and nine broad, rising in a peak to the height of 8,700 feet. BEETHOVEN’S “KREUTZER SONATA.” It Was Written fora Forgotten Violinist, but Dedicated to Rudolph Ereutaser. Beethoven’s ‘‘Kreutzer Sonata’’ Is familiar by name at least to thousandsthrough Tol. stoi’s novelofthat name, who would never have otherwise heard of itas one of the greatest composer’s greatest works. Its or- igin is unknown and even pow there Is a dis- pute as to how the sonata came by the now famous name. It was fora long time be- lieved that the sonata was written for Ru- dolph Kreutzer,a French violinist, but re- excited the admiration of those who heard him play. Under the protection of the Prince of Wales he gavea number of concerts at that time, in connection with Franz Clemen the Viennese violinist, and was one o the lions of the London season. He was called ‘‘the young Abyssinian Prince.’’ He went to Viennain 1803, where he soon be- came intimate with Beethoven. The great © Viennese offered at once to compose a sonata for Bridgetower and to play with him in pub- lic. He kept his word, and in the concerts of Bridgetower on May 17 and 24, 180s, In the Aug@rten, Beethoven played the new sonata, op. 47, from manuscript. Strange to say, Hanslick adds, Bridgetower was lost sight of shortly alter these concerts, and little or nothing is known of his subse- quent career. It is believed that he died in London between 1840 and 1850. , But how did the sonata obtain its name, name which has become as well the title of Tolstol’s famous novel?

Gpecial Correspondence SurpAY Post-Disratcn. lay moaning in pain and delirious in the s of Madagascar last summer there a smalichance thathe would live to tome back to civilized countries and tell the tory of his achievements itn that mysterious gnd wonderful island. Yet hiseyes kindled with enthusiasm and his cheeks were fiushed with excitement as hetold of some of the things which he saw and some of the exper!- ence which he passed through ashe crossed the island from north to south and east to west in the summer and fall of 1891. Ason of the late Moses F. Taylor, a distin- oe man of affairs,for many years in ew York City, young Taylor inherited wealth andcould have spentalifein ease. But when he was 15 years of age the desire to travel asserted itself, and since that time he has visited many lands and is familiar with all parts of the globe and with many portions which are far outside the paths of fashiona- ble or accustomed travel. His researches have been recognized by the leading socie- ties, so thatnow he is alife member of the Geographical Society anda fellow of the Anthropological Society of this city, and Guring the summer monthshe isto makea feport verbally and in writing to those two pocieties respecting his recent discoveries. He seemed to havethe feeling which pos- §esses many of those who travel purely for Scientific purposes or those of discovery that what he had to say might be best said either in reports to recognized societies or perhaps inabook. For, hesaid when I questioned him about his journey, ‘‘I simply traversed rfrom east to west and from north to south, remaining in that:+country some seven montnhs.’’ **But,’’ I suggested, ‘‘is it possible to ex- ore this island, as you have done, without ventures?’’ Mr. Taylor shrugged his shoulders slightly, then said: ‘‘I was not seeking for ad- ;I was looking for information re- @ those strange epeople and that ge country?’’ **Is traveling dificult there?’’ . **In one sense, yes. There is nota road or highway onthe island, The Hovas, which are the reigning tribe there, are so jealous A ; ' = , MAYERS WA ee AL Li ' Ail Uh Alana } [) \ Mr. Taylor.— Traveling by Palanquin. and fearful of white supremacy that they will not permit a road to be constructed, and ifthe French, who have assumed a sort of protectorate over the island, should attempt to capture the capital it would cost them at least 20,000 men before they reached it. **There are nothing but paths. There {!s not a horse or mule or other beast of burden upon thatisland. Nine millionor people and the only method of carriage which they have is upon the broad backs of the strong men.’’ **How, then, did you travel?’’ I asked him, **Did you make a pedestrian tour?’’ **At Tamatave, which is the chief lown on the eastern coast, I was very kindly treated by the Governor, and by, his help I secured twenty-eight porters, strong, lusty fellows; some of them carried my provisions and some of them carried me. They havea prim- itive sort of carriage, consisting of a canvas seat with footrests fastened totwo iron poles. I was seated thus, and four of the men, two in frontandtwoin the rear, put the poles upon their shoulders and carried me much of the way. Partof the journey, however, was made by canoes, and while going up and down the precipitous mountain sides 1 got out and walked.’’ CROCODILE SHOOTING. Mr. Taylor, becoming interested as he pro- ceeded with his description, narrated the story of his sport shootifig crocodiles. Said he: *‘Thereis asacred island in the Lake Itasy on which lives a sacred nobleman, aiong with his wives. I was determined to see this old fellow, but I found that my por- ters had an unutterable horror of crossing the lake, believing that it would be death for them to go to that sacred island. I said to them: ‘You will go. That nobleman is not your king, but Iam now,’ and I used another argument more awe-inspiring than the sacred presence of that mysterious nobleman could possibly have been. So the men paddled me out and at last I touched the island, and there stood the nobleman, with much assumed dignity and real astonish- ment, his robe wrapped around him and he cone atme. ButI went up to him and ithima thumping whack onthe shoulder, saying: ‘Hullo, old man, how are you?’ and he melted atonce. He was very courteous to me, showed me around the island, where there was nothing particular to see, and then indicated where the crocodiles were. My men paddled me out toa point near the shore and there sunning upon the banks were hundreds of enormous crocodiles. Some of them must have been fifteen feet in length. I shot a number of them, but it was danger- ous totry tocaptureany. Infactthe water swarmed with them so that I thought at one time they would overturn the canoe. Ihave seen crocodiles in other parts of the world, Dut I never saw any that would equal these. One of the porters took me toa place where I found some crocodile eggs. They are very large, and I have some in my collection of curiosities which I am going to loan tothe World's Fair.’’ TAYLOR ATTACKED BY THE SAKALAVAS. Iasked Mr. Taylor if he met with any re- Sistance from the natives or whether he found any of the cannibal tribes said to live Madagascar. He replied: ‘‘Excepting on west coast of Madagascar! was treated everywhere with the utmost courtesy. As tS ng approached when we entered the eilwould select my but for the night and the ple with perfect courtesy aban- doned ittome and for the night I was the ofthetribe.

He has seen the orchids of Borneo, Australia and South America, but he says in beauty, delicacy and size noné of them can compare with the orchids of Madagascar. He also found there a are ps specimen oftulip, pure as snow, delicate as wax, and more graceful than any the European specimens, notwithstanding its enormous size.

It was a specimen which would have made one of the argonauts crazy with excitement. Mr. Taylor had it valued when he reached London, and was told that it was worth a little over $i6."’ As Mr. laylor was glancing over his photo- graphs something in oneof them suggested to him the aepyornis’ egg. Saidhe: ‘*Doyou know,they havein Madagascar a very won- derfulegg, laid by an extinct species of gi- gantic ground pigeon? jt is found by digging in the sand, where it has lain buried for ages. The egg is tentimes the size of thatof the ostrich, and I believe that not more than ten or twelve of them have n discovered. They are very valuable and easily fetch as muchas $500 apiece. One will be exhibited with my other collection. I forgot, speaking of eggs, One rather unpleasant experience I had. After I had had my fight with the Saka. lavas I was not personally disturbed, but they have an insulting custom to show their dislike of white people. When a traveler comes amongthem whom they regard with favor itisthe highest courtesy notonly to give him a hut, but also tosendtohim a female who becomes his slave, but when the traveler is disliked they send instead rotten eggs, and the effect may beimagined. It entails an unpleasant night, to say the least, lremember one incident in one of the vil- lages which happened while I was there. A slave had a very cruel master, and desiring to escape this master, the slave con- ceived a stratagem which was successfully executed. He killed a bullock and drank an enormous quantity of warm bullock’s blood. Then he went into’the presence of his master and vomited the blood before him. The master was frightened, thinking his slave had broken a blood-vesseland at once gave him away.’’ **Did you see any specially pecullar people on this island? - There are strange stories told about some of them?’’ I asked. ‘*Well, yes, 1 did. In the northwestern part of the island I saw in the distancea very re- markable tribe of dwarfs. As nearas l1could judge none of them was over four: feet tall, many of them much shorter. They were s0 timid thatit was impossible to get any- where near them,and they were regarded by the other tribes with so much contempt that they let them severely alone. My inter- preter told me they spoke arude sortof gib- berish, lived on fish, spent much of their time like monkeys in the trees and were cave dwellers. 1] was very anxious to get near enough to them to overcome their timidity and study them, but it wasimpossible. I also saw something which I do not know ex- actly how to describe. I1 was toldof it while I was in the capital, and alsotold that it belonged tothe Queen, who regarded itas a curiosity. I went to see it and indeed I foundit was. From the waist down it was the body and legs ofa boy, but its head, shoulders ana paws, for they were not arms, were almost exactly like those of a lemur. Thé lemur is the only species of the ape or monkey tribe which lives in Madagascar and these animals are very affectionate, gentie and easilytamed, Iexaminedthis curiosity, thinking that it might possibly suggest the connecting link. I was told that there were others on the island, but 1 believe them to be nothing more than lusi natur2.’’ THE CAPITAL OF MADAGASCAR, Mr. Tayior speaks most entertainingly of his experience in the capitalof Madagascar. Here he saw the Queen, a slender, light com- plexioned Hova woman, and had several in- terviews with her. No European Queen could assume more dignified manners than she did. She was dressed in European cos- tume and her husband, the Prime Minister, was also arrayed in garments of as recenta European fashion as it was possible to bring into Madagascar. ‘*It was my good fortune to be in the cap- ital at the time of the fan-drona festival, which in other words is nothing but the sa- cred festival of the Queen’s annual bath. On the day before the festival the nobles and the invited guests, of whom I was one, were assembled in the room in the palace and were seated, Turk fashion, upon the floor or ground. Then there was a feast, and in the evening torches were lighted all around the city and in such mapn- ner as to indicate the tradition of the ancient fire-worshipers. On the fol- lowing Gay there was another feast. The nobles built a fire, cooked rice and put in the pot the meat which was left over from the feast of the year before which had beenTare-.- fully preserved by jerking. It is a sacrilege to allow a bit of this meatto be wasted. In addition to that they brought bullock’s meat and they cut a bit of fieshout of the flank of a live bullock and brought itto meas a special honor and it was then cooked and I, of course, out of courtesy, was obliged to eatit. During the feast the Queen sat upon her throne presiding over the cere- mony with great dignity and by her side was the Prime Minister, her husband, a man 65 years of age, although he looked much younger. Aiter the feast the Queen retired to an apartment adjoining the feasting hall and bere she took her bath ina silver bath- tub. A half hour later she returned bearin in her handsalarge silver bowl perforatec like the nozzle of a watering pot and then went around sprinkling every one of the nobles and guests and blessing the wateras she didso. When she Came tome,as amark of special favor my interpreter said,she not only sprinkled me but she tilted the vessel sothat I was well drenched with this sacred water. This isthe reat sacred festival ofthe year,and although tis the festival of the Queen’s annual bath, it isnot justto infer that Her Majesty takes only one bath a year, but she takes only one sacred bath. The Queen has no children and when her reign endsthe throne will pass to the next in line, a person whois nowa boy of some 8 or 9 years of age.’’ MADAGASCAR MYTHS, ‘*‘T have made a collection of some of the myths, strange traditions and sort of folklore of those people, and some of them are of extraordinary interest. Two exam- ples, perhaps, will illustrate the nature of them. There are two mythical animals in Madagascar in which al) the people ab solutely believe. One of them is a strange creature, which lives in a cave, and which would do terrible things were it not captured aud destroyed ina strange way. They take a baby and pyt it in a pot with per- forated cover 60 that it will have air and then set the pot afew yards away from the mouth of the cave in which this beast is sup- posed to live. They dig a pit between tne potand the mouth of the cave and then go away for a few hours. They believe that during their absence the beast comes out that he may devour the baby, but falis intothe pitand isannibilated. They believe that as absolutely as do little children in England and America in the existence of the Bogy- man or Santa Claus. Mme also believe absolutely in the exist- ence of adonkey which has but twolegs, cne front leg and one hind leg and which is nevertheless so fieet footed that as he runs over the land he cannot be seen. ”’ Mr. lor ex ts toreturn to Madagascar after he bas addressed the ~ Geograph- ical Society and has published a brief report ofwhat hesaw and experienced in t country.

A month later, on the lith of July, Alexandria was bombarded by the British,the city burned and sacked by the Arabists, and finally occu- pied by the former, Well nigh ten years have pessed away since thac period of veritable terror. Arabi is an exile in Ceylon. Suliman Daoud, who fired the city by Arabi’s order, long ago expiated his crime on the gallows. Abdallah-Nedim, fugitive from justice, has wandered from Village to village until he was betrayed by one of his own color as an act of personal vengeance. From this d stance of time it may interest the reader to >cur to some of the scenes of those days, ta ark the heroism of the sailors of Uncle San, ‘s navy, who saved Alexandria from total de/ ruction, and at the same time recount an in:jident which happened to the writer and which may be deemed a hair- breadth escape. It may be; remembered that the consular representatives of our Government—terror- stricken—aft the massacre, abandoned their posts eRe fled the country. In the emergency their duties, by requst of the Gov- ernment, devplved upon the writer, who as- sumed charge onthe i5thofJune. Admiral NicholsohS~commanding the United States naval forces Gn the Mediterranean, was then in the port of Alexandria, and with the flagship Lancaster, the Quinnebaug and the Nipsic, in accord and with the ap- proval of this gallant officer, the American consul placed on board of his ships eight rich and Hutchins, who, ed the consulate. ravaged the of the town, eee inthe no ions. On the 15th the British entered thecity, twenty-four hours after the Americans, whom they bh hting the fires with desperate energy; hundreds were rescued from the knife of the assassin and much property saved. The United States Consulate, the only consulate not destroyed, became the asylum of all refugees without distinction of nationality. The British commandant and prefect of police with great frankness and courtesy has borne voluntary witness to the heroic service of our countrymen.* It was there that UncleSam’s sallors saved Alexandria. In glancing over an old scrap book my eye falls upon the following teiegram, dated London, Aug. 19, 1882. It reminds me ofan SRCIOOR, almost forgotten, and was as fol- ows: ‘*The American Consul was attacked yes- terday inside the Gabarri gate at Alexandria by about forty natives. Some soldiers ar- rivedand dispersed the crowd. The ring- leader of the assailants was arrested.’’ On the 18th of August of that year, in fact, near sunset, I was passing along the Gabarri ad ina carriage in which two companions rere seated. Atthe intersection of a street with the main road, forty or more Arabs, dressed in the ordipary gallabiah (gown), were collected, their attitude being such as to arouse my suspicions that they meditated mischief. The sais (servant) who runs hab- itually in advance, warned them by the usualcry of Ouarda!—Get out of the way— but far from heeding the injunction they simply barred the passage-way, though moving slowly in front as if to draw me further towardsthe gate before at- tacking. Divining this intention I felt for my istol, but to my dismay remembered that I ad neglected to wear itonthis occasion. There was nothing left but to attempt to break through the crowd and applying the lash, my horse,a powerful animal, sprang foward, felling inthe quickness of the move- ment, one of their number, caught under the left forward wheel.

The bombardment, begunat 7a. m.of the lith, lasted but four hours. Asa pyrotechnic display it was’ novel and interesting—terrible even, but to,the experienced eyes of the American corn manders, mostof whom had seen service i) the war of the rebellion, the manifestatio:r. was weak, inefficient and so barren of r.yults commensurate with the extraordinar y heavy ordnance employed, that the pengay of a positive disaster would have been pg@id had the fleet been pitted against sonf®, more serious obstacle than Egy ptian for! The refugees who crowded the decks of te American men-of-war (as those of otheF nationalities) fully expected to have been fpermitted to re-occupy their domicils ere sunset of that day. Cruel decep- tion! Sir Sayhuel Baker, ina letter to the Times, asserté thatthe British commander’s orders from his Government’ were: ‘‘To bombard the city but not to land,’’ which is significant. On the 12th; at noon, Daoud Bey fired the city. Atba. m, ofthe 13th, I conceived the idea of entering the townto re-establish my consulate, rendered necessary, because the United States vessels were quite unprepared to supply rations indefinitely to the numer- ous refugees. Briefly told, I secured a small boat and, ac- companied by the correspondent of the London Telegraphand Ali, the janissary | of the United States Consul, in uniform and carrying the fag, we landed, and, not with- out some peri], seized an Arab lv voter, who, intimidated Dy a pistol closely pressed in his face, informed me that ‘‘the city had been abandoned, pid that Arabic troops were de- apparently the bound . seized the and endeavoretl backward upon his haunches. the stout whipin away to usethe handle, heavily laden with lead, I leaped from the carriage and 1 dealt the chief a crushing blow fairly in the jaw, dropping him like a shot to the ground.

Finally, and when my strength was fast failing me, a shout and tramp of men caused my assailants to fly. ‘Shall I give them a volley?’’ asked the English officer, who with a squad of men had left his post attracted by the noise, to come to my rescue. **No,’’ Lreplied, panting for breath and wiping the blood and dust from my face. ‘‘I think they have had the worst of it,’’ pointing to the man still lying uncon- scious where he had fallen. Afew days afterward I was requested to appear before a court martial to give my testimony in the case. The British officer bad submitted lengthy charges against my assailant, whose appearance on arraignment with bandaged face and head appealed at once to my sympathies. An Arsb court, composed of men whose loyalty had not been above suspicion when Arabi’s star was in the ascendant, was not likely to acquit a poor wretch whose condemnation would se- cure them some credit with their new masters. My testimony was brief, and quitting the role of witness, I assumed the part of advocate, and finally, in my consular capacity, I claimedas a favor. if notaright, that the life of my assailant be spared, his condemnation to death being a ringleader, horse by throw ployed alon the Mahmoudish Canal.’’ PLACE DES CONSULS AFTER THE FIRE. Hastening back to the telegraph shipIsenta communication which advised Lord Seymour ofthe actual state of affairs. The American Admiral sign led the British commander to know if he tr ended to occupy the abandoned city, adding th he (Admiral Nicholson) intended t\ re-enter the interior port. ‘*What can’ ‘do to aid you, Colonel?’’ asked the Admiral | ‘‘I shall be glad to have a de- tachment ti | help me maintain the Consul- ate,’’ I repled. ‘‘Allright, the detail shall be made at @pce and sent to you,’’ added the Admiral. Whereupon I left him toreturn to the city. 2p. m. of the 18th Lord Seymour decided to 1d 200men. His official report says: ‘‘On the evening of the 18tha party of blue jacketé landed witha gatling gun and cleared the’ streets of the Arabs, who were setting fre to and pillaging thetown.’’ The Adimiral means the street along the quay and not the city proper, which the English occu- pled only on the 15th. The reconnoisance in the early dawn of the 18th forced the hand ofthe British Admiral and more it was the unconscious means o saving the dynasty of Mehemet All. The hhe- dive, Mohamet Tewfik, then at Rameleh with his ministers, was at that very moment being sutrounded—not to be «killed, as cur- rently stated, butto be taken a prisoner to Cairo, a plan which consummated would have constituted Arabi the sole authority with-which the invader could treat. In a word it would have meant the decline of Tewfk andthe accession to power of Fellah chief.

In the affair at Gabarri, I escaped byahair’s breadth the nabouts of my assailants, wno proved to be Arabi’s soldiersin disguise. ‘he prisoner, for his part, was released after a severe bastinado, and what with a broken jaw thus escaped by a hair’s Breadth the gallows.

Special Cor. SUNDAY Post-Dispaton. Copyright. Cracow, Austria, April 26.—There are two European Galicias. Each of these in their peasant life possesses great interest to the traveler. Spanish Galicia, comprising the northwestern Provinces of Pontenedra, Lugo, Coruhaand Orense, will ever hold for me the most tender recollections. Its Gal- legan folk are the bravest, most patient and loyalinthe world. They love thelr rugged mountain land with so passionate a devotion that they will suffer untold privation and even death before they will give it up. They become the ‘‘Gallegan dog’’ servants of all Spain, Portugal and Italy for half their lives, bearing inconcelva- ble contumely, sacrifice and suffering that they may finally come back to their dreary crags and wild and almost sterile glens to the ownership of a little cabin, a tiny patch of land, and theto them blessed right to lay their bones in the same graves as those who have labored, sacrificed and died,in pre- cisely the same way, for ages before them. They are dumb folk, but noteven a Spanish monarch has ever dared attempt their en- slavement. The other Galicia is less tender and win- some in any ofits aspects. It is indeed im- measurably more somber and tragic. It is Austr ian Poland. Everyone remembers the history of ancient Poland; its line of warrior kings; its splendid and unrewarded victories for Christianity over the Turks; its great universities; even its wonderful medieval literature; its kingly commoners andits peasant kings, and the final treachery of Russia’s Catherine, which led to repeated dismemberment and parti- tion of old. Poland by Russia, Gerthany and Austria, with the horrors of a hundred years of insurrection, murder, slavery and despot- ism that followed. It is all too horrible to dwell upon. Austria’s portion out of the Polish murder and rapine Galicia, comprises an area of over 30, square miles, bounded north and east by Rus- sia, on the south by Hungary and Bukovina, and on the west by Prussia and Austrian Sile- sia. Fully six million souls occupy this area. Of these about twoand a quarter millions are Rusniaks—interchangeably called Russ!i- nen, Ruthenens and Ruthenians, whom shail call Ruthenians in these papers, and who are of Russian stock and tongue. A mil- lion anda halfare Jews. The remainder are about equally divided between Austrian and Russian Germans. Almost the entire nobility are of Polish ex- traction and are country loving and living people. ‘ihe peasant are all Poles and Ruthenians. It will therefore be readily seen that nearly the entire inhabitants of Galician towns and cities are Polish Jews and Germans, the former greatly predomin- ating. Tolllustrate, this ancient city whose population does not exceed 50,000 souls, con- tain 28,000 Jews. Lemberg, commercially the leading city of Galicia, has 60,000 Jews among its 100,000 people. And Ihavethe word ofa frienc, a Canadian resident of Kolomea, that among the 28,000 inhabitants of the latter city more than 21,000 are Jews. Practically then, Austrian Galicia presents for study four classes—the Polish and Ruth- enian peasantry who, while theoretically free men, are more slavish than slaves; the ancient Polish nobility who are either rich and great enough to live almost regally in Berlin, London or Paris, or home-loving enough to live upon their own estates some- thing after the simple and patriarchal man- ner of Count Tolstol, not very far to the north of them; the Jews financially own both peasant and .master body and soul as well as all business af- fairs of every name and nature andthe mill- tary who relentlessly control them all. Austrian rule over its share of fallen Po- land, which for the first three-quarters of a century after its seizure was quite as cruel as that of the Russian plunderers to the north, has had the virtue of not having re- tained its more barbarous iniquities.. It Is still impossible to escape theclang of the saber, the jingle of the spur, the challenge of the sentry and the almost intolerable insolence of the omnipresent soldiery. These uniformed tyrants areinevery raliway carriage or station. They accompany every coach. They dogthe stranger from hotel to countryside and vack again with imperturb- uble effrontery. They enter the home at willl; and by their godless presence sully every sanctuary and polute every shrine; while sples are so thick—swarming among all classes in the guise of officials, merchants, artisans, laborers, peasants and comprising in one form or other more than one-twentieth of the entire population—that the very air is said to *‘listen’’ in Galicia, Despite all this the Austrian Poles of Gall- cla live *‘Im Paradisa’’ in contrast with their IN THE NEW HOUSE??

The electoral reform law of 18738 gave the Galician Poles direct elections to the Vienna assembly by districts, thus breaking down the old clannish national Polish in- terest. The Government has wisely en- couraged agricultural reforms and awakened an emulative spirit between native Poles and Rutbenians and many small but thriving German agricultural colonies, And among other: sensible things it has done the one thing which should ve frst and best done in every farming community in the world— built roads that will vie in their endurin qualities with the finest to be seen in England or New Engiand., ; Indeed in wandering through Galicia, Iam not certain but that I would count these grand Galician roads as the greatest of all blessings of all time to the present Poles. ‘i heir general direction has been governed by the course of the great chain of Carpathian Mountains, which forms the Hungary bound- ary on the south. Away down in the southeast corner of Bukovina, over against wild and untraversed Bessarabia and wilder Moldavia, this great artery of Galician life and commerce beyins. Thence to the northeast it passes through Kolomea, which has recently come into prominence from being the base of opera- tions in the new Galician petroleum fields. Thence, through the valley of the Pruth into the vailey of the Dneister, it touches ancient Stanislavov, whence it bears north to Lemberg, the central and greatest city of Galicia. From Lemberg it winds, like the Carpathians, around to the west, and passes through this ancient Polish capital, and thence on to Moravia and Vienna. On this mighty thoroughfare, fully 700 English miles in length, areallthe great mar- ket-towns of Galicia, and despite her newer railways which forthe most part run parallel YowORs H.

Many highways equally well built run parallel th this main artery for shorter distances. Three great roads intersect it from north to south. One inthe east runs south from Bukovina into Transylvania. In Central Galicia, another, starting at Lem- berg, passes south, cutting through the Car- patiian range, to MunkKacs, in Hungary. The third zigzags southward from this city, pass- ing into Hungary, through the valley of the Arva, at the western base of the Tatra Mountains;and on this mountain-shadowed, forest-fringed, cliff-hung and cascade-tremu- lous niga WAy I tramped with cartmen and packmen, s0 diers and pilgrims, beggars and gypsies, to the Tatra Mountains to know their strange and unknown peasantry. Iam thus explicit regarding the thorough- fares of Galicia, because without this, those who travel with me can hardly know Galician folk and their ways. Their roads furnish the outward seeming of theirlives and affairs. Upon these roads every form of traffic, threading toand froma scoreof countries and sharply defined peoples, is seen. From them every variation in outdoor daily life, aspect of quaint husbandry, ceremonial be- tween classes, and hint and tint of pecullar- ty andcolorin national fact and feellng comes close and clear to the traveler upon his legs. And I have nowhere else in Europe seen such a variety and wealth of roadside shrines. I should think that in the two or three thousand miles of the great stone roads of Galicia a huge wooden or stone crucifix, ora tiny brick or stone shrine, might be found on the average at the distance of every half an knglish mile. Most of the crucifixes are of wood hewn out of beech or oaken logs.

ROBINSON. Written for the BuwpAY Post- Disr,tos. e On Jan. 10 we were sent to ma sthead earlier than usual, asthe mate stoutly tn- sisted that he could ‘‘smell’’ whales. It is true that there is a very perceptible odor from a whale, and with the wind favorable his presence is often noticed at night when it is too dark for him to be seen. On the present occasion there was a reward offered for the man who should first announce the pres- ence ofa whale, provided we afterward succeeded In securing him. So we ran np the rigging willingly, although as yet we could hardly see a mile inany direction. | Mardly had I reached the topsdil yards when ' : / : : ’ man at the mizgen shouted: *There she white waters!’’ And in another instantthe boat-steerer at the main had caught sight of something off the lee beam, and, hailing the deck, he shouted excitedly: “Large school of sperm whales on lee beam, sir, big ones, only about two miles awuy!’’ By this time every man was on deck, and the boats were rapidly lowered. Whenever we had lowered for practice the mate had invariably succeeded in capsizing or staving his boat, and on the present oc- casion the big Dutchman, Hans, who was Ove of the mate’s boat’s crew, and whose duty wasto see that the oars and Dallers were aliin the boat, made his appearance with a huge bucket, which he was placing in the boat, when the mate snarled out: **You big double-headed Dutchman, what are you putting that In the boat for?’’ **Veil, Mr. Laurie, Ldon’ vas know how to swim, and I dinks ve bedder dake it along to ball Ge boad vid ven we gets dipped ofer!’’ . The look of perfect honesty with which he said this satisfied even the mate that no re- flection on his skill as a boatman was in- tended, but the second mate and I had hard work to smother our amusement. Once clear of the ship up went the sails, as the whales were to the leeward of us, and | @way we went with a good breeze. We soon ran down among them and Mr. Perry, our fourth officer, who was harpooner in the Captain’s boat, stood up with his knee in the ‘‘clumsy cleat,’’ and every nerve braced for throwing the keen tron. shot across the cornet of the whale flukes; and I looked over the side of the boat, here I could see the huge black fan gfrom side to side, pot more than two feet under us. I knew if we lifted it we should be sent fy- ing into the alr like things of no weight whatever. However, we passed safely over and shot alongside the whale’s hump. I saw Mr. Perry draw back-his arm and like a flash tlie tron few through the air and buried itself near the whale’s shoulder Diade. The second iron was poised for a throw, but the whale settled like lead upon. feeling himself wounded and up went the dreaded flukes, just clearing our boat and filling it half full of water. . **Stern ali! I’m fast!’’ cried the boat steerer. ‘‘Stern! Stern!’’ **Stern for your lives!’’ cried the old man, and then with a yell: **Gooad God! Look out!’’ Before we had time to realize what new Ganger threatened us a loose whale shot its enormous head out of the water not ten feet away, apparently coming Cirectly for us. While we sat almost stunned and waiting to be crushed the line was flying out of our tubs as the whale we had struck ‘‘sounded’’ ata great speed. Our pew neighbor came slowly toward us, and when his bead almost touched ours he sank under the surface and went directly under the boat, his ‘‘hump’’ raising us gently a few inches, but doing no damage. I cannot answer for the feelings of the other men, but I em sure I should not bave crushed an egg had it been between me and the seat I occupied. I wes aroused by the voice ofthe old man: **By thunder, Mr. Perry, that wasa purty clus shave! Now get the mastand sail in lively, and we won’t haul up alongside our fish yet. There’sthreeor four loose fellers round, and mebbe when he comes up they’ll run with him and give the other boats a chance to get fast. There he is now, to wind’ard! And thar goes the second mate and mate, too, after’em other fish. Some- body cimme a chaw 0’ to-backer!’’ I passed overmy plugandsaw half of it disappear into his mouth, while the remain- der went into his pocket. Todo him justice I willsay that some days afterward he gave me a pound of the weed to remunerate me. The boat steerer now went aft and took the steering car. The mast and sail were carried aftand oneendof the former placed under the afterthwart, while the better part of both projected far overthe stern and out of our way. We then ‘'peaked’’ and faced the bow of thé boat. The ol4d man occupied the bow, and we pulled in the line ‘‘hand-over-hand,’’ while the boat steerer allowed it to pass over the stern into the water. Forashort dis- tance the whale towed us at a speed certainly motiess than fifteen miles an hour, but the fron interfered sadiy with his locomotion, and he soon allowed us tocomeup with him, end then the old man sent the sharp lance again and again into his vitals until the water a | ee Wa \ \ . d “Ng ‘ the process. One dark night, when the fire was streaming from our two smokestacks asthe scraps were shoveled into the fire- places, a large sh? ran down within halling distance, and the Captain shouted through his trumpet: **Bark ahoy!’’ Capt. Keys immediately answered: ** Ahoy there!’’ **Want any help?’’ ‘*No, thank ye,’’ from our skipper, ‘*we’re all right.’’ ‘*What’s all the blaze?’’ **We're ‘trying.’’’ ‘‘Trying? Looks as though you were try- ing to set your ship afire!’’ ~ And we heard the disgusted philanthropist shout: **Keep her on her course again. ing but a bloody Yankee whaler!’’ Day after day the weather now grew per- ceptibly cooler. Slowly the old craft ploughed along till at length we passed the Cape, and on Feb. 14 we were agreeably surprised to meet the bark Atlantic again. She had taken some 800 barrels of oll. We ‘‘gammed’’ all day, and I came away richer by three pounds of tobacco. On Feb. 17 we ran down between Hog Island andthe Twelve Apostles, among the Crozet Islands, wherea few years before the En- glish ship Strathmore was wrecked and forty-one persons, including one lady, lived over six months on a barren rock, subsisting on crabs and mussels, when the whaler Young Phonix, Capt. Gifford of New Bed- ford, rescued them. While our people at home were celebrating Washington’s birthday, we were cuttingina huge whale which made over 100 barrels of oll, I shall not attempt to give an account of our cruise around Desolation Isiand, but at last the Oaptain gave orders to head for Amsterdam, one of the St. Paul group in the Indian Ocean, where we hoped to obtaina supply offresh fish. After a favorable pas- sage we arrived one morning off a low, rocky island, where the kelp was so thick around the shore that it was almost impossible to force a boat through It. The bark hove toandtwo boats were low- ered, equipped with lines and salt pork for bait. We pulled within a short distance of the shore and then threw over our lines. Great fish, small Osh, fish of all colors,came tumbling in and occasionally some huge fish would be hooked which would decamp with the gear. In fact welostabout all our lines inthis way finally, but pot until we had loaded the two boats to the water’s edge. They were @ treat to us fresh, but the bul« of them were salted for future use, and we re- sumed our long voyage for New Zealand with nothing to chronicle ofinterest untll April 14, when ourthird mate, who had long since been replaced by Mr. Perry on account of bis failing health, passed quietly away, and we buried him atsea. Nothing can equal the solemnity of such an occasion, as the bell tolls slowly the age of a departed shipmate and the impressive words of the burial service are chokingly read by the Cap- tain. Though Mr. Blaine had been a re- board, lsaw many a bronzed face wet with mpathy as the body shot from the | the blue waves and was lost to our forever morning after the. funeral. we a of Austrelia and I recalled ty ral It’s noth- © of abouta mile to windward, while we could necessaries of life. The gum is shipped by steamer to Auckland, For the first few days after our arrival we were busy carrying water-casks ashore, fill- ing them at a little spring, towing them alongside, and hoisting themon board. We took 200 barrels in this manner during our stay,and wet, cold work we found it. I should mention that the Captain had sent to Auckland for our letters,which were directed there by his advice. We now had plenty of fresh beef every day, and, what pleased me the most, we found an abundance of small quahogs, which the natives call ‘*pippies."’ Every evening after work was finished the crews of the two ships Visited freely, and the hills echoed to the chorus of or . rollicking salior song3., After we’ 4 been here a week the steamer Iona arrive with our letters, andall work was suspel. edfor that day. I had several from relati ps and friends, and an abundance of Boston plpers, which I read and reread until I almjost knew them by heart. After I had read ntg letters the first time I had an op- portunity ofwatching the rest a little, and it was a sigh®mever to be forgotton. Some had received pi&tures of relatives and friends, and soon we Were all telling each other about our news, conipgring pictures and boasting of the amount of il we had received. I neglected to state that when we were at Fayal some of us had received letters, and I noticed that one fine ld(Oking young man namea Henry North, a sative of Prince Edward’s Island, received no‘mall whatever. I asked him the cause, and he confessed his family were in ignorance of his whereabouts, as he had left home three years before and never written tothem. I was no saint, but I told him in my rough way that in common decency he ought to at least let them know that their son was alive, and finally persuad- ed him to send a letter from Fayal, and this day in Mongonul I was repaid for my trouble a thousandfold, for, as we had since become very good friends, I looked around for him to see ifhe had received any letters, and also to show him mine, At length I found him stowed away by the heel of the howsprit, seated on a coll of rope, with a lette ’in his hand and the tears rolling down hise »eks. I stole softly away, and aftera wh;- he came and held out his hand, which I ; asped, fully understanding the thanks wh _# he could not find words to ex- press. He ‘afterward told me ofthe joy his letter had. Srought his aged parents, and how happy he s to hear from them once more, and for th@rest ofthe voyage his mail com- pared favorably with mine. ‘CHAPTER VI. . A RUN ASHORE. Forafew days after our mallarrived we were kept bu_y painting the ship, but when we had finished we were allowed some lib- erty, each watch going ashore on alternate days. Of course there was the usual rush for the little public house,and as the California’s men were given liberty at the same time a large majority of the men were soon drunk and noisy. We were each allowed six En- giish shillings to spend as ourtastes might incline us, and, with two others, I paid the landlord 4 shillings of mine to get usup the best dinner the house afforded, and we dined in royal style on wild game, including pheas- ant, squabs, rabbit and duck, and topped off with a good cigar, an antiquated copy of the London Punch and a bottle of execrable claret. There was a pianoalso available,and I made out to bang out an accompaniment,to the deligh of the bost and his family. Toward night we! ard a terrible war of words in front oft!’ house, and upon rushing out to ascertain je cause we found every one half jrunk, and it appeared that one of the California had struck Peter pon an athietic halfcaste, who fby, marched up to the aggressor -a coward to strike that old man. god 8 9) oot eed page al uickly formed, w I saw . himeeif for battle I knew chance, but, as he wasa bi . - . iy & _ 9 x . » ¢s ~ at\ > « "ft ~ ee, Wee Soya aay = Me ts Bee car Se a.

Three times was this repeated, until, mad- dened by the science he could not combat, the sailor ran with his head down and, ofa stinging uppercut, suc- ceeded in closing with his opponent. The struggle now became More even, and how it would have terminated is uncertain, but at that instant the burly constable put in an appearance and arrested the Maori for pick- ing a quarrel with tne sailors, while the other participant was not molested. We were evidentiy expected to fight and get drunk and must not be interfered with. So the Maori paid fifteen shillings for espousing Peter’s cause, and the latter carried a biack eye fora week, never falling to remark that if he had been sober, he could have thrashed a@ dozen like his assailant. Having dispatched our letters by the steamer and finished repairing ship and tak- ing water, weleft Mongonul June 22 and made a straigiit course for French Rock, which we reached in tbree days. From thence we procee‘ed to Sunday Island, where we met the whaling bark Alaska of New Bed- J ** Large Fish, Small Fish.*’ ford, and I found a townsman of mine inthe cooper,and I enjoyed a pleasant chat of hope and mutual acquaintances, Le The giorious Fourth was much like fother daysexcept thatsome one stole a piece of tobacco which the Captain had carelessly left on deck, ‘and we were informed that, until the thief was found,our allowance of tobacco would be stopped. Itis needless to say he was soon produced. We cruised without seeing ‘‘fins or flukes’’ untilat last the old man became disgusted, not having takena whale for five months, and we shaped our course for the Friendly Islands, where we intended to obtain fresh provistons and fruit. The weather grew warmer as we gradually ran down toward the equator, and I turned myself into ship’s barber and trimmed the hair of most of the white men, for which I received a stipulated amount of tovacco. On Aug. 29, one year from home, we raised an enormous school of whales, and although three boats had excellent chances to strike, the boat steerers missed invariably, and we saw the whales disappear to the windward, leaving us disconsolate. Oct. 11, nearly eight months since we had ‘‘greased our irons,’’ we killed six small whales which yielded us about 150 barrels, and we began to take cour- age once more, Again our course was changed and now the report was we were bound for the Chatham Islands in lat. 48 degrees south, and about 600 miles southeast of New Zealand. In a few days the weather grew cooler and we began to see numbers of albatross, or **zoneys,’’ as the, whaler calls them. We caught one with a hook and line, but he be- came seasick in a few minutes and we set him at liberty again. He measured over ten feet from tip tutip, and was unable to rise from the ship’s deck. Soa sailor seized the tip of each wing, and with a ‘‘one, two, three,’’ swung him up over the bulwarks into the wind, when he at once regained control of his movements and sailed majestically away to tell, perhaps, of his miraculous escape, which was owing to the Captain’s superstition or kind-heartedness, I never knew which. A favorite amusement with us was totle a piece of pork to either end of u fathom of manila rope yarn and throw it among a flock of these monster Dirds. Inan instant each plece was swallowed by different birds and they would attemptto fly away. Of course their flight was suddenly arrested, and either one or the other would involuntarily dis- gorge his share, which would be almost instantly swallowed by another ravenous **goney,’’ and the pieces of pork would be swallowed and resurrected many times be- fore the rope yarn finally broke and allowed the lucky possessor of the pork at that par- ticular instant to retain the choice morsel. In November we again had an opportunity of striking a large whale, but the mate’s boat steerer missed with both irons and a general gloom settled over all hands at our continued lilluck. As for the mate himself, I will not sully my pages with the profanity in which he indulged, but he wound up by shaking his fist under the poor fellow’s nose and saying: **Look here, you clumsy lubber, if I had an old grandmother, 90 years old, that couldn’t throw an iron better’n you, I’d tle her heels to her head and drop her over the stern and be —— to you!’’ The same ill fortune attended us until at last we started for the land, and on the first day of January, 1878, we dropped anchor at Big Chatham Island, a large, dreary-looking place, with no harbor or decent landing, and began felling trees for fuel. The wood was of a hard, yellow kind, of which I could not ascertain the name. We cut the fallen trees into cord- wood lengths and piled it to season, in order to have a supply when next we touched there. The native name ofthe port is Owangi. While in the woods I accidentally discovered a field of wild strawberries, and we sat down and satisfied our appetites to the utmost. The natives of this place are an offshoot from the New Zealand Maoris, and there are also half a dozen white settlers here engaged in raising wool, which is shipped to New Zea- land In a trading schooner, which calls twice ayear,and is the only connecting link be- tween them and civilization. The next day we got under way and ran over to Pitts Island in company with the bark Alaska and dropped our anchor again. We stayed here several days and becanie toler- ably familiar with the history of the hardy old Englishman-whose life almost equals that of Robinson Crusoe in many respects, and to whom I propose to devote a short chapter. CHAPTER VII. A MODERN ROBINSON CRUSOR, Somewhere about the year 1648 an English- man named Hunt came from England to New Zealand with his wife and infant son, and after roaming about for some time finally took passage for Chatham Islands with a partner, intending to engagein sheep raig- ing. Upon arriving at the latter place his partner died. Hunt cast longing eyes upon a fertile island about ten miles from Big Chatham, and uninhabited. Twice a year the natives went to it in their canoes for ‘around him, the sturdy pioneer has lived to a good old age, while his sheep number over 10,000 and over 100 cows are grazing on the green hills. Oflate years it has become a custom for whaling ships to call there, as beef can be bought for a trifie, and wild sheep may be captured by the score without price. The jovial old chap gave us an ox, eighty sheep, the wool of which was inferior and valueless to him, and turned us loose in his dairy to drink milk to our hearts’ content. We also purchased a field of potatoes and dug them ourselves, but as the supply of hoes and shovels was limited, I, among others, was obliged to use my fingers. A cracked old Piano was in the house, and inthe evening I was invited to favor the company with a few Selections. linsisted that my fungers were too sore from my agricultural efforts, and after that I dug no more ‘*spuds,’’ The island comprises 16,400 acres of land, he informed me,and at that time he em- ployed four white men and two Portugese. He hada large herd of horses, which, how- ever, are useful only for riding. A sound young horse in some parts of New Zealand, by the way, is worth only from £1 to £5 sterling. The old man Hunt was passionately fond of music, and on this account I was always one of the crew to pull the Captain ashore in the evening, and my musical performances, which would have disgraced a dime museum, were simply marvelous tothe unsophisticat- ed settlers. Ihad collected a piccolo, har- monica,banjo and flute from various sources, and, as one of our crew played very nicely on a large German accordion, we had sever- al ‘‘star’’ pleces which we performed in a most agonizing manner. Under the coim- bined influences of our music and repeated potations the old gentleman finally dragged his better half to the piano one night, and to- gether they sang ‘‘The Banks and Braes of Bonnie Doon’’ in the fashion of half a cen- tury ago. Wordsare weak to describe the performance, but they meant well, and I felt quite encouraged in regaré to the merits of my own efforts in thatline. Two of our men ran away here and hidin the hills, and we went to sea for a week’s cruise, knowing that they would be gladtoreturn by that time. For several days we keptcompany with the Alaska, and ‘‘gammed’’ at night. One evening I was chatting with the second mate of the Alaska, an old but stalwart negre, when he informed me that his Captain and himself had been boat steerers together. As he evidently felt how much more favored the Captain had been by Dame Fortune,he re- marked sadly: ‘*Yaas, sir; we was bofe ob us boat steerers togedder, and now he’s marster ob dis ship, an’ dis poor ole debbil kaint hed no bDetter’n South!’’ No one but a sailor can fully appreciate the simile, but it expressed his meaning Detter than a more elaborate speech could possibly have done. At last we caught our two runaways and resumed ourcruise. Wetook several large whales during the remainder of the season, and on April 11 we raiseda strange sail, which proved to be the new ship Horatio, Capt. Chas. Grant, one of the oldest and most successful of Nantucket captains, who had been over sixty years at sea. He was accompanied by his wife, who had spent nearly all her wedded life with him on whale ships, and was a first-rate scallor, They were near neighbors of mine at home, and I was kindly received by them, and presented with letters and a large box of home comforts sent by my mother and sisters. One of our Portuguese died of consumption shortly after we had left the Horatio, and we buried him at sea. Nothing occurred to break the monotony for several weeks, until atlast we met the Eng- lish ship Splendid from Dunedin, She hada motley crew, includingan ex- Lieutenant in the British army and a Maori prince, who in- formed us he shipped ‘‘tor the fun of the thing, you know.’’ At length we turned toward New Zealand once more, and on June l we dropped anchor in Mongonin to refit our shipand prepare for a cruise among the Friendly Islands.

Van Gele has awakened renewed inter- est in the development of the Congo country, which is a subject of deep concern here. Capt. Van Gele has been engaged for ten years in most responsible work on the Congo and itstributaries. He was a favorite Lieu- tenant of Stanley, who speaks of him inone of his books in the most compjimentary terms. He has been foremost in recent ex- plorations in Congo land, and it was he who Mnally settled the vexed question of the identity of the Welle Makua with the Mobanal, the Congo’s greatest northern trib- utary, by ascending the Mobangl, in spite of the hostility of the natives, until he nearly joined his surveys from the west with those of Junker, who had descended the Welle Makua. Van Gele’s last few years have wholly been devoted to exploring the vast and populous territories along the Mobangi. Since 1889 he has studied the principal afliuents of that river, and secured the friendship of the natives. The prosperity of his work may be inferred from the fact that the station of Banzyville, which he tounded on the Mobangi, has now a population of 80,000 people, made up of natives who have been attracted to the post from far and near. Though he established Banzyville only two years ago it is now ee an African city. The greatest chief in all this region is Ban- gasso,the King of the Sakaras, who live along the big M’Bomu River,a northern af- fluent ofthe Mobangi. Bangasso had heard of Van Gele, and desired to make his ac- quaintance. The Captain sent ambassadors to the negro monarch,and appointed a day for an interview at Yakoma on the Mobangi. Banygasso arrivedin July, 1890, accompanied by his brother and twenty-six of his chiefs,and made his entry into the station preceded by his band of musicians, and followed by hun- dreds of women and slaves bearing pro- visions and presents. He is very rich, and handreds of thousands of people pay tribute to him in goats, lances, ivory, provisions and slaves. His forefathers have reigned for 200 ears upon the shores of the M’Bomu. jis people are so powerful that. the Sou- danese, who oppress and enslave all the other tribes in this part of Africa, do not dare attack them. Before Bangasso arrived at the place ap- inted for the interview some hundreds of is men were sent there, and it took them eight days to build the camp, which their King was to occupy,which comprised not less than s00 huts. For fifteen days Bangasso and Van Gele had long interviews which resulted in the King Payee 3 his territory under the pro- tection of the sovereign of the Congo State. When he de ted for hisown country Ban- sso made the Captain promise that 8 would return his visit. soon as convenient Van ascended the M’Bomu River Bangasso’s chief town.

RUDYARD KIPLING’S SAVAGE CRITICISM OF NEW YORK AND ST. PAUL. Written for SUNDAY Post-Disratcu. Copyright, It is not easy to escape froma bigcity. An entire continent was waiting to be traversed, and for that reason we lingered ia New York till the city felt so homelike that it seemed wrongto leave it. And further, the more one stndied it the more/ grotesquely bad it grew—bad in its paving, bad in its streets, bad in its street police and but for the kind- ness of the tides would be worse than bad in its sanitary arrangements. No one as yet has approached the management of New York in a proper spirit; that is to say regarding it as .the shift- less outcome of squalid barbarism and reckless extravagance. No one is likely to do so, because reflections on the long nar- row pig-trough are construed as malevolent attacks against the spirit and majesty of the great American people, and lead toangry comparisons. Yet, if allthe streets of Lon- don were permanently up andall the lamps permanently down, this would not prevent the New York streets ina lump from being first cousins toa Zanzibar foreshore, or kin to the approaches of a Kaflir Kraal. Gullies, holes, ruts, cobblestones awry, curbstones rising from two to six inches above the levei of the slat- ternly pavement; tram lines from two to three inches above street levels; building materials scattered half across the street; lime, boards, cut stone and ash barrels gen- erally and generously anywhere; wheeled traffic taking its chances, dray versus brougham, at cross roads; sway-backed poles, whittled and unpainted; drunken lamp-posts with twisted irons, and lastly, a generous scatter of filth and more mixed stinks than the winter wind can carry away, are matters which can be considered quite apart from the ‘‘spirit of democracy’’ or ‘*the future of this great and growing coun- try.’’ Inany other land they woulda be held to represent slovenliness, sorald- ness and want of capacity. Heré it is explained not once, but many times that they show the speed at which the city is grown and the enviable in- difference of her citizens to matters of detail. One of these days, you are told, everything will be taken in hand and put straight. The unvirtuous rulers of the city will be swept away Hs 6 a cyclone or a tornado, or some- thing big and booming, of popular indigna- tion; everybody willunanimously elect the right men, who will justly earn the enormous salaries that are at present being paid to in- adequate aliens for road sweeping and all will well. Atthe same time the lawless- hess ingrained by governors among the gov- erned during the last thirty, forty, orit may fifty. years; the brutal levity conscleace in regard to the toughening and public morals and the reckéless Gisregard for human life bred by !m- potent laws and fostered by familiarity with needless accidents and criminal neglect will miraculously disappear.

The blame oftheir city evils is not alto- gether with the gentlemen chiefly of foreign extraction, whocontrol the city.

As your friend Aldrich told you, the ross itas realas theash pit. ‘‘And ift’s a great deal sweeter.@@said Mr, Caine with a hearty laugh that rang most prosaically, but most human- ly, through the solitude of lake and hill, Talking of Aldrich reminded me of America and its literature, and I asked him for his opinion on this rather wide subject. ‘*Well,’’ he replied, *‘what do you mean by American literature? The literature pro- duced in America? That is, the literature of American authors. I see no American liter- ature. It is all English. If I were living in Russia and talking toa Russian, asI am now talking to an Englishman, do you thinkI snould not claim Mr. Howells’ ‘Silas Lap- ham’ and Mr. James’ ‘American’ as Englis': books? Where is the difference between themand Mr. Hardy’s ‘Tess’ and Mr. Mere- dith’s ‘Feverel?’ It is only a difference of scene.

This is not, however, the fact. Long before the race- goers are out of bed in the morning the day’s racing has commenced, not only for that particular Gay, but for others several days of. All of this beforehand preparation takes a great deal of patience and time and a great many people. From the start tothe finish many characters are encountered, each with his own well defined place and each with his own function and part inthe affair, which, when fully prepared, is over in seemingly a moment. Half the race is before the race-goers arrive, and by far more than half the people who bring about results are never seen. There are a great many of these now at the Fair Grounds, scattered from the far western stables clear down tothe main gate of the grounds on Grand avenye. Beside these there are the better-known officers who have the control of the track, grounds, etc. These are more generally known than any and can be recited briefly. Of the Fair Aseociation proper the officers are Rolla Wells, President; L. M. Rumsey, First Vice-President; Ellis Wainwright, Seconda Vice-President; Alvah Mansur, Third Vice-President; A. B. Ewing, Treasurer; W. M. Lockwood, Secretary and 0. W. Bellairs, Buperintendent. Directors—Rolla Wells, L. M. Rumsey, Ellis Wainwright, Alva Mansur, A. B. Ewing, oO. C0. Mamitt, Julius 8.

Inside the organization ofthe St. Louis Ag- ricultural & Mechanical Association is the St. Louis Fair Grounds Club, formerly known as the St. Louis Jockey Club. Of this the Governing Board is Julius 8. Walsh, Chairman; George D. Capen, L. D. Dosier, 8. R. Francis, W. H. Lee, T. T. Lewis, Joseph D. Lucas, ©. O. Mamitt, Edward Mar- tin, G. W. Niemann, O. F.

Mamitt, Edward Martin and Joseph v, Lacas. Capt. Bellairs, the Superintendent, is now acting as official handicapper. The officers so far mentioned are usually permanent off- cers of the club, elected for a year, two years or any other specified term. Then come the officers and actorsin the races, who only exist officially during the racing season and areonly identified with the racing proper. The most im. portant of these are the presiding 7 and starter. Both must b@ men of racter and coolness, with judgment and discretion and almost unlimited experi- ence with the tricks of jockeys, horses and horse runners.| THE STARTER.

His work begins whenfthe horses go to the’ post forthe start. Ashort distance back of the starting post is astand set in the fence, where he takes his place with his fag in one hand and a memorandum for noting fines, etc. inthe other. Upon his work thousands of dollars depend and to him every one looks to see that each{orse has an equal chance with the rest as far asthe beginning of the race is concerned. His power is almost unlimited, and he hasthe right to fine and rule off a jockey if his judgment so decides. When his fag dropsthecry ‘‘They’re off,’’ is heard andthe race has really begun. The Fair Grounds has had already two starters, and has now secured athirdof national reputa- n.

He seldom esa horse,that is not what he is there for, but a disobedient jockey often feels the lash of the long whip his silk shirt, and swears interpally his arch enemy.

CLERK OF THE SCALES, Back in under the judges’ stand are some mysterious characters—the clerk of the scales and his assistant. John Duffy is now the clerk and his helper is Ed Maguire. The con- necting link between the scale-room, judges’ stand and timer’s stand and the Secretary’s office is Henry Bruce, who has no title what- ever, and no title would fithim. He does a little of everything. Bruce is a colored boy who for ten years was with Dick Roche, the bookmaker, who is now making a fortune in New York. When Roche left here on account of the pool-room laws, Bruce was cast adrift for awbile, but heisa very useful individual now. Next to Bruce comes Moses Sargent, who is trusted with ali ofthe money taken in at the gates and who} takes tne register from the turnstiles and makes himself useful to the treasury de- partment. When there is no racing he is regularly employed at the Third National an « Watchmen, gate-keepers, ticket sellers, porters, detectives, messengers and others, who may have been overlooked unintention- ally, make up the rest of the local end of the big race track. Then come the ‘*horse re- porters.’’ They are in plain view all the time, and are generally obstructing the view of the people behind them, so need no de- tailed description. Then comes the army which travels about with the various stables as they wend their way from track to track during the season. The most important figure in this array of people is the owner, He is sometimes with his horses, but if he is a ‘‘big’’ owner he gen- erally leaves his various ‘‘strings’’ to his trainers and only drops in occasionally,when some big race is near and he wants to be by to see things done properly. On these occa- sions he can be seen in the morning standing, watch in hand, next to his trainer—also with a stop watch—timing the pace of a pros- pective winner. If the owner is a man of national racing reputation with five or six celebrated horses and any number of young possibilities, these are moments of intense excitement tothe professional betting men. Ranking next in importance in the horse world comes the trainer, whois expected to know the horses from the tips of their ears to their heels. Ina big stable the trainer isa abig man,andit is between him and the jockey that the honor or blame of a race is divided. Nexttothe head trainer fora big stable comes the trainer and owner consolli- dated, the man who owns and runs his own horses and trains his own stable. But he Is not as big a man generally as the trainer of a string of horses which never start for less than a few thousand dollars. The cook is a very important personage in the make-up of a racing stable and nearly all of them carry one, with the necessary as- sistants. Sometimes the cook is a very arbi- trary person, who will take no advice about his department from any one. When the trainer lives ata hotel tn town and the stable attendants are left to the mercy of the cook they are made to mind their manners and really earn their meals. Some of the less wealthy owners whose fortunes are wrappedup in one or two horses which they attend and train themselves, have their wives with them to do the cooking and keep house, Gypsy fashion, in an improvised home in a vacant stall. These are few, however. and soon disappear from sight, One stable has a Chinaman for a cook, John as he Is called,is not used to this climate and just now is having a very tough time of it, and tells a hard luck story as longash is igtall, as he shivers under half a dozen ex- ra shirts. Some cook with a tripod in real camp style, over the open fire out of doors, while others have turned the various booths and vacant houses about the track intocon- venient and comfortable kitchens with regu- lar stores inthem, and a dining department ihe Wi 5 ant 4 iy nth) ehee f 4 hate) | A =35 A The Cook. attached. These kitchens can be found all over the Fair 4#rounds, tucked in at most unexpected places. THE JOCKEY’S VALET. A very queer character, who is also a necssary part of a first-class stable, is the jockey’s valet. This person is nothing more nor less than the body servant of the jockey and waits on himasa maid would on her mistress. He helps him to dress and un dress, rubs him down when needed and dur ; eQ.

When the race over the valet is at hand to attend to his master’s wants and wrap him up ina g00d warm coat sothat heshall not catch cola. There are several of these rsonal servants of the jockeys who are well-known to all horsemen and who do nothing else but attend to a single crack jockey. One of the jockeys at the track now, and one of the best and jolly the cracks services of a man from the stable of ar Fr ay to be riding.

The season will be inform opened this month by the Gilead Slough Hunting and Fish- ing Club, one of the largest clubs in the city, having a membership of about 150. On May 28 the steamer Bald Eagle will leave St. Louis at9o’clock p: m. with the members of the club and all other who have tickets for the club’s headquarters in Calhoun County, Ill. This is the second annual opening of the Cal- houn County Hunting and Fishing Club, and the excursion is being looked forward to with considerable interest by those who are fasci- nated with an evening’s sport withthe finny tribe. Preparations are being made to ac- commodate at least 300 excursionists and a gala time is anticipated. After a day spent at the sloughs in Calhoun County th Bald Eagle will land its cargo of worn out pleasure seekers in 8t. Louis at 10 o’clock 8v iday night, May 29.

The sloughs will affox agnificent and royal sport,as the high waters have filled themto overflowing on severagi occasions and there will be no end tothe black bassand croppie that will be reeled out of the turbid waters by the expert and amateur anglers ofthe various St. Louls fishing clubs before the cold, chilly winds of November begin to blow. Since last season quite a number of changes have been made in the Sst. Louts clubs. Some have gone out of ex- istence, others have been reorganized and a few are yet in innocuous desuetude. The Current River Hunting and Fishing Club, the largest organization ofits kind in St. Louis, has gone by the wayside. The club-houses on Current River have been sold to pay debts and the business has been wound up and the clubis no more. The members have joined other clubs, and the club that was recog- nized last yearasoneof the leading fishing clubs in St.Louis will not be heard of, except when referred toas one of the good things that died young.

AN EQUINE BICYCLE. Novel Invention of an Indiana Horse Trainer. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 5.—There are many fine young coltsin training on the stock farms around Indianapolis. Some of these colts will be entered for the July races on the new track at the Fair Grounds, The horsemen here, like those of other places, are looking for better methods for training colts, and some, it is said, are being found.{ Many good colts, horsemen say, have been made unsound by too much weight being placed on them or by the placing of too much ofa load behind them. An Eastern man has invented what he cails the equine bicycle, which he claims not only relieves the horse ofthe weight of the rider, but runs so easy as to hardly impede his speed. The Philadelphia Record says that in no other way yet known can the rider or driver be carried with so little tax upon the horse’s strength or powerofendurance. The location of the wheels along the sides and flanks of the horse avoids the friction on the curves of the track. This bicycle does not swing a particle on the shortest curves. The reason isthat the intof contact between the tire on the wheels and the track is oppo- sitethe propelling power. The greater the distance between the wheel? and the sides of the horse the greater the momentum of the swingand consequent drag on the curves. Sulkies sometimes swing several feet on sharp curves. In this the horse can be turned around in the space he stands on, The seat is where the rider has perfect con- trol of and can watch his horse better than if nearer the neck,.as in a saddle. He ts carried over and close to the horse, his weight being supported 4 the standards, which run up from the axles next the wheels. The wheels are the same asthose Ofa bicycle, and have rubber tires. By a careful examination it will be seen that the driver is carried without weighting the horse, with the least possible draught, and that the dragging back friction of the curves of the course is entirely overcome. The same inventor has also designed what he calls the common sense harness. He claims for his invention that it attaches the vehicle directly to the frameof the body of the horse, leaving the shoulders, quarters and legs entirely free, and their action unre. strained. From the forwardend of a small saddle over the withers straps run down each side the neck of the horse to a pad against his breast (which pad is arranged to vibrate | withthe motion ofthe chestat each step); from the lowerendof this pad the tug passes between the fore legs, thenceup the sides of the horse to a ring (or a tug ‘ f - = buckle in double driving harness) attached toastrap which runs down toitfrom the rearend of the withers saddle. This brings the draught mostly onthe withers and en- tirely on the solid frame of the body, clear- ing the shoulder biades and joints and allow- ing the forelegs their full sweep. From this ring at the sides the breeching extends to the crupper above the quarter joints, which leaves the quarters also free to stretch out to their utmost stride. In sulkies and wagons tugs may De used, but a short strap attaching the side ring to the shafts gives a firmer hold on the vehicle, therefore handles it more directly and easily. The collar of the breast or Dutch harness in present use draws against the points of the shoulder joints. This strain upon them is unnatural; they tire sooner than the rest of the body, and it restrains the action of the forelegs. DWARF AND GIANT. Remarkable Freaks on Exhibition in the Berlin ‘“‘Panoptikun. ”’ Special Correspondence SuNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. BERLIN, April 29.—Two greater contrasts have never been put side by side than the, dwarfand giantat present on exhibition in the greatest museum for all freaks,the ‘‘Pan- optikun,’’ in this city. The giant isan Englishman, 21 years old. He is the tallest among the known giants of the world, but withal he is well proportioned, and has an agreeable face, the features being very regular. The midget is 82 years old and sports a handsome mustache, of which he jis very proud. Despite his smallness he is an ele. gant dancer and delights the spectators with an exhibition of his terpsichorean art. Like all midgets he is fond of displaying jewelry, and the watchchain with locket appendage which dangles from both sides of his vest is larger by far in p rtion than the modest adornment of his giant companion.

THE “FENOMENAS JUNIOR” AND THEIR RED-HEADED CAPTAIN. Some days ago a small red-headed boy walked intothe office and timidly asked for the man ‘‘wot prints de paper.’’ He was asked what he wanted and replied- ‘‘Want to challenge de Never-Toutched-Me’s,’’ It was finally understood that he hada chal- lenge for a game of base ball. He produced it. It was written on a coarse sheet of gro- cery wrapping paper. It read as follows: The Patch Fenomenas Juniors are organized for the season with the following’ well-known eres Gallagher, p., captain an Ke Laupe, 1b.; J. Scully, 2b.; +; Co 6S.; asalially. 1. f.; Casey, c. f.; Kane, r. f.: Yv hausen, substitute; Kia Gallagher, club would Ifke to hear from all nines under 13 years. The Never-Touched-Me’s preferred. Address all challenges to Manager Gallagher. It was written in a very scrawly hand, but every word was spelled correctly and care- fully punctuated. The only puzzling word was ‘‘Fenomenas.’’ ‘*‘What are ‘fenomenas?’ ’’ was asked. **Fellers like Kelly an’ Anson an’ Comis- key.’’ ‘*Oh, Isee; but why do youcall them jun- lors?’’ *‘*Dere be’s some growed-up f’nomenas in de patch, my brudder’s pitch.’’ ‘*Oh, oh! Yes. Who is the little shaver with you there?’’ **Dat’s my kid brudder. He’s de mascot.’* **All right, your challenge will be pubD- lished.’’ The boys went away satisfied. The chal- lenge looked queer. Gallagher could not have written it, and that it was the composi- tion of the mascot was not to be entertained, The longer it was scanned the more curi- osity it aroused, and finally so much interest was excited thata decision was reached to learn more about ‘‘Gallagher’’ and the ‘*Fenomenas Junior.’’ A trip was made to the ‘‘Patch,’’ which everybody whois anybody knows the loca- tion of. Armed with the printed slip as it.was published that afternoon Captain, Manager and Pitcher Gallagher was sought. When the ‘‘patch’’ was reached, a troop of some forty boys were playing ball, half in the street and half ina let obvstructed with stones, wagons and holes. ‘*‘Doany of you boys know Capt. lagher?’’ was asked on a venture. ‘*Well I guess yass!’’ yelled half a dozen at once. Oh! Red, here’sa dude askin’ about @!’" ‘*Red’’ was seen then, up among the wagons with sleevesrolled up, coat and vest off, slamming a2 lopsided Dall at another boy who stood pluckily up to it. ‘*Tell ’im, don’t he seelI’m practicin’?’’ yelled ‘*Red,’’ not taking his eye off the hall. ‘*Dat feller Kelly, he’s a bute, heis! Dat’sa quarter O. K. Red’s trowin’ an’ it don’t faze him,’’ said one of the spectators. ‘*What’s a ‘quarter O. K.?’’’ ‘*It’s a boughten ball, not one adem ye gets with a suit of clothes, or like dat.’’ **Oh!’’ Capt. ‘‘Red’’ Gallagher stopped after a few minutes and, throwing the ball to the ground behind him witha careless air, walked to- ward the investigator. In a moment he recognized him, ‘‘Hello dere, say, you’r all right, ain’t you?’’ andthe mighty captain came up and shook hands, pushing through the little knot of open-mouthed admirers as if they did not exist. The investigator took the Captain to one side and told him he wanted to ask him some questions. The Captain sent a boy for his coat and hat and, inviting the visitor toa seat ona wagon tongue, they soon became good friends. **You forgot your address on the challenge, and I was afraid I would not be able to find you.’”’ ‘*Naw dere wasn’t no forget, I done {t a purpoge. Any guy what don’t know me, don’t need to.’’ ‘‘Tell me who wrote out the challenge?’’ **Me’’—‘**‘Say, you Kids break away, will yez, dey can’t none but de nine be in dis,’’ added the Captain as the admirers gathered about, Kelly was there and stayed, also sey- eral others whose identity developed. The rest scattered. **Who told you how to spell it?’’ **Ain’t youontodat. Ilcopiedit out a de paper.’’ ‘*Tell me all about the club, who the play- ers are, and all about it.’’ **Ye ain’t guyin’ us, ner nothin’?’’ ‘*‘No, no, I’m serious,’’ The nine began to look conscious of consid- erable importance as the Captain com- menced, ‘‘It was like dis; we knowed we could do any nine our size easy, sowe got up denine. De name was detrouble. Iast my brudder and he said ‘fenomenas.’ So,den, we gotupdenine. it Wasn’tlikeitis now; me and Kelly was out fer captain and manager, and Kelly come pretty neardoin’me,.

Gallagher sent the Mascot fora bran new ** professional dead’’ bail, costing 50 cents, which the historian volunteered to purchase in return for his kind reception. The expense seemed sinful to them at first, but lly and Gallagher decided that it would bea good thingto ‘‘burn out’’ such riff-raff as ae pretentious enough to wantto join the nine. W hile ‘‘Kid’’ Gallagher risked his little life crossing streets for the sakeof the ‘‘pro- fessional dead,’’ with a silver paper wrapper on it, Capt.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 5.—The curiously contradicted accounts of the outbreak in Wy- oming two weeks ago puzzled the readers of the stirring news. A Vigilance Committee was Gescribed as hunting down a band of des- peradoes who had stolen cattle on the range. tie kings and their agents. From one point of view, the man who was killed be- came a villain and a thief; from an- other, he was a hero dying in defense of his Statements that were favorable to party invading Johnson County came from Cheyenne, while those favorable to the were from points in Oentral and ‘Northern Wyoming. Cheyenne is the home ' of the cattle kings; up north the small stock- men have taken possession. When after a few Gays the telegraph wires went down and stayed down it became evident that one side had the sympathy ofthe majority up there. In the end it would not be strange if this ma- rity should win, although long indeed bas the fight in Wyoming between men and money. To sketch the facts bearing on the present situation one must glance back to the incep- tion of the cattle business in Wyoming. in 1876 Crook Grove the Sioux, Cheyenne and Shoshone Indians from the North Platte country and opened up a vast new range for use of the cattle grazer. The latter was slow in seizing hischance, From west- ern Nebraska, from Colorado, from Utah, even from Texas, he rushed in his herds. Cattle kings elsewhere trans- ferred their herds by the thousands to choice spots in the new range. In 1677 the Searight Brothers drove from Texas to Casper Creek, Wyoming, 14,000 head. The following year they brought up a herd of 18.00. A score of other large firms nearly rivaied thesefigures. Lesser men shared in the good fortune. Those who had been only frontier scouts or *‘squaw men’’ laid claim to whole valleys, opened negotiations with capitalists to range cattle on shares, and ina short time were worth in land and cattle twenty, fifty, or a hundred thousand dollars. Tom Sun, for instance, an illiterate Canadian half breed, found himselfin three years, after wandering about with his entire fort- une in one pony, the master ofa fine. range anda herd of 6,00head. Later, the news of the chances for a short cut to fortune brought to Wyoming rich and adventurous young bioeod from the East. It raninthe veins of the sons of bankers and other capitalists, andthey in turn, as the country filled up with cattle, interested men across the ocean in the sandy grass land where growing beef paid regularly 38 percent., and at times 50 or 6.annually. By 1881 the accents prevailing in the Cheyenne Club, the headquarters ofthe stockmen, were no longer Western; they were those of New Yorkers, Bostonians, Scotchmen and Englishmen. Fortune alighted in more than one shape on the lucky ones of the early days. Not only did beef grow in Wyoming as it had never grown in Texas, but beef in the Eastern stock yards, to which Wyoming shipped, doubled in price. The culminating point was reached in 1882. The average steer on the range was worth $30 then. In 1878 it had been worth about $18. In various ways the newly acquired wealth pro- moted progress. The cattlemen living in Cheyenne proceeded to rebuild the town. A fever for diamonds seized every Wyoming cattleman’s wife. At the Cheyenne Club the members drank $500 worth of champagne in a single night. Among the rising millionaires were some gifted with foresight. They, ina quiet way, went into politics and took their cattlemen friends with them. They went into the Legis. lature In a body and, once there, had practi- cally no opposition. Through their efforts there appeared on the Territorial statute books a listof laws that favoredthe occu- nts of the ranges, their heirs, assigns,etc., t were notin the least encouraging to the mew settier. A new form of land ten- ure, giving ‘‘possessory rights’’ was for first occupants, to the ex- © usion of impertinent newcomers. Actuaily, of course, all the land, less perhaps, a thou- sancdth part, belonged to the United States, and was supposed to be open tosettlement under the landlaws. But there was the rub. The Federal Government contemplates the settier on the public domain as a farmer, and neotasa cattle ranger, and the homestead pre-emption and timber culture acts, under which land is taken up, ordinarily allow “entries for only 160 acres each. The desert land act, the other law under which the settler might entera land claim, permits 640 acres to be taken, but the watering of every forty-acre tract of the 640 acres, which the law requires, had generally stood in the way of reducing the act to practice in Wyoming. The long-headed legislators, however, went abead circumventing Federal law with Terri- torial law. Oneofthe lawsthey passed for- Dade, under fine and imprisonment, the cut- —_ ge the Wyoming Stockmen’s Saha earehwmatsne ca names ts to the grow- he territory men’s cattio.

Then, man- acied hand and foot, he was taken by a zigzag route from Pawlins, in Western Wyoming, to Omaha, to Denver, to Kansas City, to_ Santa Fe, andthenceto Southern Tezas. On_ the route he was exhibited as a murderer from Texas, and, incidentally,as a borrible exam- ple of what cattle thieves in Wyoming might come to. Inall, the association paid $50,000 to $100,000 to patrol the range. By such means peace came tothe possessors of the range.

When Lieutenant-Commander Richard Somers of Tripolitan fame was a midshipman he was attached to a frigate In the Mediterra- nean. The renowned Stephen Decatur was one of the midshipmen in the steerage with Somers, and the two were very intimate, in fact, sworn friends. They had salied together before and were like brothers. Decatur was an overbearing, arrogant man andtreated Somers at times rather cava- lierly. The midshipmen inthe steerage, ig- norant of their former intimacy, got it into their heads that Somers stood too much from Decatur, and was, in fact, afraid of him; so they determined to put him into coventry. This Somers resented by challenging the en- tire mess. Decatur was of course his second.

Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. If you should ever go up on the Old Passa- sit Gown in the tavern, select anyone the old woodsmen you will find already sitting there, exchange a dime, at not too infrequent intervals, for a certain tipple called rum and tanzy, and refer inquiringly Haunted Frog of Spoos Run Swamp. Tt is a strange tale you will hear, this one of the Haunted Frog of Spook Run Swamp. It may put your credulity to the test; do not even by word or sign let any of natives know that you have doubts about the frog. As the story goes the oldest settlement in all that region was made on the Old Passa- Ganky. The swamp was there when the first settlers came. So was the creek that had its in the swamp. Neither had any name, aaa it wes not until people began to see ghosts along the creek and about the swamp that appropriate nomenclature for them was Grubb shot a deer one day. It fell and he slipped uptoittocut its throat. Ashe was standing astride the deer he supposed was dead the deer arose suddegly and went bounding down the creek with Silas on its back, clasping its meck and vociferating loudly that help would be welcome. Job Finch, bunting along the creek, saw the deer in its wild flight and emptied his rifie into It. He not only killed the deer, but bored Silas Grubb with his rifle ball as well. Not long after that a specter deer bestrode by a specter rider appeared at intervals in the woods, dashing madly down the creek until itreached the spot where Job Finch’s shot had done its fatal work, and there always vanished. Not long after that wicked old Chris Yetter, the blacksmith, was kicked by a horse he was watering at the creek. After projecting some strong language in bis native tongue at the horse that had kicked him, old Obris passed from the banks of the unnamed creek tothe shores of Jordan. Per- sons traveling by that spot for long years aft- erward never failed to hear an invisible fearfully swearing in Dutch at the in- visible horse. Then people got to calling the Oreek Spook Run and the swamp Spook Run Swamp. From all accounts the Nivers family, among the early settlers on Old Passadanky, were of much account and prominence. There are mumerous Niverses inthe Passadanky coun- try still, and one of them, Ourley Nivers, re- ferring to hisancestors, describes their im- portance thus: *“*The Niverses,’’ says Curley, ‘‘was the gome-punkinest folks in all the ol’ Passa- Ganky clearin’s. An’ they baint got over it yit, by Jupes!’’ Young Simon Nivers was the grandson of the original Nivers in the Passadanky coun- . At the age of 22 he was the most popular youth in the whole settlement. He was the sole heir to his father’s clearing. **It beat all, the way them gals used to ‘try to snake Simon up to the dough-trough,’’ says Ourley Nivers; ‘‘but he wouldn’t be snuck, by Jupes!’’ About that time a queer old woman, who Drought with her a beautiful young girl, ap- pearedin the Passadanky settlement. No one knew where she came from,and she wasn't made particularly welcome. She was thin and stoop-shouldered, with scraggly white hair, which she never covered with hat or bonnet, and she walked with a staf. She became known as Granny Withers and lived in an old cabin in the outskirts of the settiement. Shesaid the girl, whose name was Jane, was her granddaughter, but no one believed it, the girl was so pretty and gentile andshy. Granny Withers used to go out about the settlement telling fortunes, but she never permitted anyone to enter her cabin and no one caredto. | **Folks got skeert o’ Granny Withers from ‘the start,’’ says Curley Nivers, ‘‘fer some on ’em ez wouldn’t let hertell their fortun’s foun’ their cattle dyin’ an’ their cows givin’ bioody milk, an’ theif taters shriviin’ up. An’ one night Sol Peters were goin’ past her cabin ’long to’ards midnight, an’ he seen the ol’ granny settin’ straddle o’ the ridge-pole o’ the cabin, lookin’ up into the stars, an’ her eyes was Diazin’ more’nthestars was. Ez Sol kim along she seed him an’ giared down at him an’ give a yell. Sol said thet more’n forty biack things with eyes Diazin’ jist like the ol’ granny’s, riz right up all around him, an’ be- gun to catterwaul an’ screech, an’ snatched athim so thet w’en he foun’ hisself layin’ in his own dooryard his cloe’s was tore to tatters, an’ how he got to his dooryard he never know’d. Sam Ruffier, w’en he heerd w’at Sol had seen, snickered an’ sinivatedth’t he see Sol goin’ home overpowerin’ drunk that night, but ev’ry body know’d that Sol had got the best o’ Saminabhosstradeaspell aforethat an’ consekentiy that ‘counted for Sam’s siniva- tions. ‘Sides that Sol’s wile were a Nivers, an’ consekently w’en hesaid he seen them things at Granny Withers’, he seen ’em, by Jupes!’’ Now Janey wasterribly afraid of Granny Withers, but love gave her courage, and she mot only managed to steal out and meet Simon now and then, but she agreed to his plan for an elopement, Tney fixed ona night when they were to go tothe county seat and be married. Simon confided to his friend Absolam Grover, who was to have his horse - @nd wagon ata certain place where the elop- ing couple were to meet; Absolam was there. So was Janey. But Simon was not. It was found out afterwards that he had left home that evening ashe had agreed with Janey, and Sile GriMin saw him passing by Spook Run Swamp, the night being bright moon- light. But he was not seen after that, and no trace of hirh could be found. Everybody worried and lamented over young Ssimon’s mysterious disappearance—every body except old Granny Withers and Jeptha Swaley, both of whom seemed to gloat over it as if there was more satisfaction and joy to them in it than there would have been if somebody had left them a fortune. The worst of it all was that Janey got it in her head that Simon had proved faithless toher and had run away, and she mourned and moped, and her heart | was almost broken. A few nights after young Simon was so strangely and completely removed from society on the Old Passadanky, Sile Griffin came into the tavernand he was much agi- ted. **It’s ben forty year sence it done it afore,’’ said Sile, ‘‘but the swamp 1s spookin’ agin’, sure ez guns.’’ rise up on a bog in the full moonlight ana take a swig out of a jug it lifted from the Immediately after that the tipsy song arose again, and 6ileé saw then that it Sile waited gee hear anything else, but heeis and made for the shelter of **The swamp has took to spookin’ ag’in,’’ said he. ‘*‘‘But whoever heerd of a ha’nted : : ' 4 t : - “ eS. ‘ * " ’ ‘ « a é 4 oes - - — , ” i. atin Py ” ‘ . . . ° a r ~ 7 ‘ED MOTT, THE HUMOROUS, TELLS OF THE 3 Re ar-ek kin a fete waek 0” poke Der- ries?’’ 4 Then Levi Compton declared that a big frog had come into his yard along in the forenoon and stole a handkerchief that was drying on the grass. But the strangest thing of all was the story Erastus, old Simon Nivers’ hired man, told about a mysterious big frog. **Ye know, that brindle heifer’s young Si- mon’s,’’ said Erastus. ‘‘Nobody couldn't never milk that critter but Simon hisself, W’en he upan’ dug outt’other nightI tried to milk her nex’ day, but she kicked me end- ways. Ilaid down by the barnyard fence to recooperate, an’ w’ile I were layin’ there up from to’ards Spook Run Swamp kim the con- sarndest biggest frog th’t ever hollered, I’ll bet. Icouldn’t get away OrlI’d a’ dug out o’ there, that frog looked so skeery. But I badn’t got my wind all back yet, an’ I haa tolay there. W’at does that frog do but come up, squat down by that heifer an’ milk her ez slick ez she ever were milked, an’ she stood still an’ chewed her cud ez cool an’ pleasantezcould be, An’ that frog’s ben a comin’ and milkin’ that critter night an’ mornin’ ever sence, an’ I leave the pall there fer him todoitin, Sumpin’ ’s gointer happen to somebody or sumpin’, you mark w’at I’m tellin ye.’’ **Yes;an’ it "ll happen to that frog, if I find out th’t it was him th’tlugged my jug o’ rum away!’ said Dave Crane, ‘‘I’ll take a look at him to-morrer.’’ **Ye better let him alone!’’ exclaimed Sile Gufin. ‘‘He’s ha’nted, an’ you bet I'll give him plenty o’ room.’’ But the next day Dave Crane took his gun and walked around the Spook Run Swamp. By and by he saw a frog sitting on the root of a big water ash. From its enormous size Dave knew that this was the one Sile had seen the night before. If Dave had hadany doubts of it they would have been dispelled by the fact that alongside of the big frog sat apig,and Dave recognized that pig as his. The frog had its head in its hands and looked as if it was feeling awfully rocky. **I’ll put him outen his misery,’’ said Dave and raised his gunto shoot. The frog discovered the movement, and before Dave could pull the trigger the frog hoisted a white cloth, which was fastened to a stick and lay near. In big red letters was in- scribed on the cloth: Don't Shoot! : I’m aspook frog and y’ll only : waste yer powder. >. Dave didn’t stop to shoot. He didn’tstop to do anything till he got home, wild-eyed and pale, and locked the door behind him. **That’s w’at he picked them pokeberries for!’’ said Dave when he told of his encoun- ter with the ffog. *‘An’ - that’s w’at he stole’ Levi Compton’s han’kerchief for.’’ Nothing was talked about for days but the Haunted frog of Spook Run Swamp, as folks named the queer dweller in the swamp. Then, tothing having been seen or heard of it fora week or more, not much was said about it until the fox hunt one day, and Eras- tus, the hired man, brought out a horse of young Simon’s that he used to always ride after foxes. The horse was standing at the gate, Erastus at its head. The dogs were Started, and Erastus was about to get in the saddle, when, with a bound, like a circus performer, out into the road came the Haunted Frog. Another bound and he was in the saddle of young Simon’s horse and away he went across the country after the dogs,and he was the oniyone that wasup with them when they caughtthe fox. The frog came trotting back on the horse, got offatthe gate and went bounding back into the bog, while every one else was tearing away in all directions as fast as their horses could get them away. Now the folks at Old Passadanky were ex cited and no mistake. Granny Withers and Jepsha Swaley gloated and giloated, and people began to be more and more afraid of the old hag, as they couldn’t get it out of their heads that she was mixed up in young Simon’s taking offand the appearance of the Haunted Frog. Some talked of having her arrested on suspicion, but they couldn’t find any evidence, and she kept on gloating. At last it got around that Granny Withers was going tomarry Janey to Jepsha Swaley, and before long, too. The poor girl was so broken up over Simon’s disappearance that she didn’thaveany heart to bold out against them. **She don’t keer wuther she marries Jer Swaley or wuther she diles,’’ folks said. Then one night Sile Griffin was coming up by the swamp again and he heard the doleful and pathetic refrain ‘‘I’ll Hang my Harp on the Willow Tree.’’ arising from the bogs, and he recognized the voice of the Haunted Frog pouring forth the saddening strain. Next morning persons passing that way saw the frog sitting disconsolately by the water ash marking something on thetree. Erastus the hired man staid long enough to see what it was. It was these words that Sile Griffin had heard the trog giving voice to the night be- fore: em The lady I love wht@iiiebe a bride, With the diadem on her brow; Oh! why did she flatter my boyish pride? She's going to leave me now! That sight brought tears to Erastus’ eyes, and every one who heard about it wept ex- cept old Granny Withers and Jeptha Swaley, and they actually almost went wild with giee. ‘There is no telling what would have been the ending of all this mystery and mis- ery if Jabez Clitter, of Sliney’s Clearing, twenty miles away, hadn’t happened to drop down at Old Passadanky one day, a month or two alter young Simon disappeared and the Haunted Frog began to agitate the Passa- danky folks. He, of course, soon heard the story, and exclaimed at once: **Why, tha’s witchin’ a-goin’ on here! Tha hain’t nuthin’ surerth’n that.

To-day we passed peacefully and unevent- fully into Pennsylvania. For two weeks we have been devastating the great State of Ohio, Yesterday we came to Bellaire by means of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is not a favorite with us. It somehow has no magnetism or power to make friends rapidly. The New York Central has an air of refine- ment, of course, and reserve that says plain enough that it has nothing to be ashamed of. Yet it does not come and put its handon one’s shoulder and make one feel like taking off his coat on a warm day and sitting out on the piazza. The New York Central says in effect, ‘‘I lead a blameless life, and of course I like my friends, but I do not care to extend my acquaintance very generally.’’ The [Illinois Central is a sort of an in- corporated hoodlum. It does not care for God or man, It was given so much i An Asheville Road, valuable land for building its road that its head immediately swelled, and ever since then the poor farmers along its line have had no rights. The New England roadis very gentleman- ly, and even its railroad hands, they tell me, are manicured every day. Yet it is not so cordial as some roads. Icame nearer freez- ing to death last winter on the New England road thanleverdidin asnow blockade on the Union Pacific. The study of the personal peculiarities of railroads in the United Statesisavery inter- esting one indeed tome, I have been thrown among all kinds of railroads this season, but never so hard as I was by the Baltimore & Ohio. It was on the Baltimore & Ohio thatI passed avery restless night once in lower eleven. Upper eleven was occupied by a boy who was car sick. Of coursethe rough road wasto blame mostly for it, but the things he had eaten would disturb anybody’s digestion a little, Ithink, He did not try toconceal anything from me. He was perfectly frank with me regarding the matter. I am _ glad to notice in the matter of high- ways that country roads are attracting a ood deal of interest. Two great magazines ave recently printed excellent articles on the subject and the whole country is waking up tothe fact that millions of doMars annu- ally toward road building that might as well go to the bottom of Victoria Nyanza. Our wagon roads throughout the country are generally a disgrace to civilization, and before we undertake to supply sealskin- covered Bibles with flexible backs to the African it might be well to put a few dollars into the relief of galled and broken-down horses that have lost their health on our miserable highways. The country system, my boyhood about as poor and insufficient as it could well be. Each township was divided up into road districts,and each road dis- trict was presided over by an overseer of highways, whose duty it wasto collect so many days’ work or so many dollars from each taxpayer in the district. Of course no taxpayer would pay a dollar when he could come and make mud pies onthe road all da and visit and gossip with the neighbors an save his dollar too, The result seemed to be that the work done was misdirected and generally an injury to the road. With alldue respect to the farmer, I will state right here that he does not know how to An all wise Providence never intended that he should know. ‘The profes- sional road-bulider, with the money used by iurorant sap heads and “self-made road architects, would ina few years make roads in the United Statesover which twoor three times the present sized load could be easily drawn, and the dumb beasts of the republic would rise up and call us blessed for do- ing so. But things are looking brighter all the time. Even North Carolina is beginning to wakeup. Asteville has sold her street bonds and Buncombe County fully realizes that good highways will make it a paradise, while poor ones will scare away everything but the buzzards. The other day we ran across a young man who was formerly a caterer fora big Broad- way restaurant. Now heis running a thriv- ing hotel out West. He is a cordial and bright young German, and in the course of an evening told usa good deal about the New York walter and caierer, ‘*‘There is a regular system,’’ he said, governing waiters in New York; and the man who is notin it gets left away behind. Walters do not of course depend upon their salaries, and not entirely ontheir tips. At big dinners no one Knows just exactly what Sm ae of anything is used, especially the wine. **In the kitchen two bottles out of each case areturned bottom up in the case at once, which means that they areempty. They are clear gain. Then you know waiters are in- structed to Keep the glasses full, saeven the host does not know how many glasses are ac- tually consumed at the table, for glasses balfand two-thirds fullare fliiled up as weil as those that are ompry. Many guests do not drink or smoke. Their wine and cigars of course become the propeesy of the walter. ‘*Atthe big balls, like the Arion, the waiters, if on good terms with the head waiter, — him alittle and get desirable boxes to w on, boxes occupied by wealthy and liberal people. With two such boxes, andif heis able to ‘putup’ for tw@ he will, of course, for thus he can serve wine ina way to make each box pay for the same bottle. With such a chance, Isay, the waiter easily makes $25 to $0 inone evening, and then before the dance is over takes off his badge and dances with one of the society girls, chastely swing- ing her two times in the corner with great deference and aplomb. ee also eats the titbits, the best pieces of the steak, the liverand tenderloin of ben an oi and the eggs ana finsof the as I recall it, was in ~ z FS a OES py cian There eye. ao is has his circulation brought up toa of gold standard and ‘he is given full arte iosaaity "sata ve 6a Leavenworth institution. ar t gy my case at least alcoholi No sane I day before money was to be ‘Geo , Well, i did.
