C., Oct. 15.—Secretary 1 Of State Foster just before he left Washing- ton yesterday Geemed it necessary to inform the publicthrougha news agency that Ben- jamin Harrison, the man who, even more 4 | Shamefully than Gen. Grant, has prostituted the civil service to the purpose of his own _Tenomination and re-election, sees no Im- _-=Popriety inthe service upon the stump of “is Cabinet Ministers in the interest of his -Te-election. At almost the moment of that very necessary statement Secretary Noble of the Interior Department was preparing to Brooklyn the best de- his power of a ~vul- Merable administration of public affairs by attacking th@administration which pre- Cededit. Secretary of War Elkins had al- ready attempted in West Virginia an apology fortheevils of that Administration by pulling the strings of the free trade bugaboo. Postmaster-General Wanamaker: had, with the eloguence of a bargain counter adver- tisement, sounded the praises of Harrison- ism, Wanamakerism, Dudleyism and Mar- .tinism at. Philadelphia. It had been announced that Secretary of the Treasury foster would make speeches in defense of Ihe Aministration in Chicago and in Olo. Atto ey-General Miller and Secretary of A ulture Rusk had both been spending time and energy at public expense in the o quiet work of organizing their party’s ‘forces in Indiana and Wisconsin, in the hope Of queiling the spreading revolt of Repubii- Pans in those States. It was a work of supererogation on the rt of Secretary J. W. Foster to make the further announcement that each- member of "the cabinet would take the stump in behalf of | ir. Harrison in the states from which they Wail. The day of paymentis come and Mr. larrison expects the fulfillment of the bond. THE RECORD. It has been conclusively show n in the news- pers and elsewhere that the cabinet ap- ) #pointments of President Harrison have been | @eased, not upon personal fitness for the tities of advisers ‘in the administration pt the gout, but upon personal adaptation %o work of managing the political machine. he President’s administration of the public Service as a legitimate power with which to compel his renomination has been revealed Dy his absolute disregard of any promise to Obey, execute and strengthen the civil ‘service law. It was made manifest by his flagrant abuse of the great trust given him by the people, which prompted Senator Wolcott o denounce in the Minneapolis Convention the packing of the body with officials de- pendent upon the President’s favor, nd which has won for Mr. Harrison the unpleasant title: The Post Office Candidate.“ His intention toa ply the terrific péwer of public patron- ize to the purely selfish end of his own re- on is exhibited in the remarkable fact pa’ for the first time in the history of the government the chief diplomatic officers are being recalled from their posts abroad in order to join the army of place-holders, who ‘gre struggling to prevent the people from g istering their censure of the misdeeds of me administration. ALL CAL OUT. The work of r those forces m the array of Mr. Härrison's office-hold- ug army of occupation and defense has al. ady begun ;here are some of those who have lready arrived or have been summond from heir posts of duty: Whitelaw Reid, recalled om the post of Minister to France; Charles ‘mery Smith, recalled from the Ministry to ussia; E. Burd Grubb, recalled from the spanish Mission; Patrick Egan, on leave of absence from his duty as Minister to Chill; Jolin C. New, recalled from the Consul-Gen- * Iship at London; Willlam B. McCreary, yecailed from the Consulship at Valparaiso, Dum; Solomon Hirsch, on leave of Absence from the duties of the Turkish * ission;’ Albert. G. Porter, recalled from ne post of Minister to Italy; Mobert Lincoln, Minister to England, returning on leave of absence. In addition to these Kdwin H. Conger, Ministerto Brazil, s recently, Wulle on a leave of absence, been employing the political arts which won Um his office under Mr. Harrison in work for lic President in the West, where the Repub- ican party has found its machine obstructed sy rebellion within its ranks, and Clark E. Varr, Minister to Denmark, an able leuten- ant of the President in the State of Illinots, as only recently been compelled to cut short leave of absence and his work for Mr. Har- son by the unfortunate discovery-of the dis- onesty of ConsulfRyder. it is true that Whitelaw Reld, Charles emery Smith, E. Burd Grubb and Albert G. Jorter have resigned their missions, but heir resignations upon the eve of a presi- entialelection in which the fortunes of the an who gave them office are imperiled do mot weaken the charge that tho great oflices | of trust under the Government are held by mir, Harrison as personal gifts to be paid for in service in his personal cause. Mr. Reid Das resigned the French Mission to tend the mower Of his wealth and such prostige as he zesses as the editor of the recognized n of his party to the national ticket in n for the Vice-Presidency in event of Benublican success at the polls. Mr. Porter resigned the Italian Mission to lend the wer of his popularity inthe doubtful State indiana with the understood promise of a States Secretaryship if the Indiana gisiature shall be carried by his party, ora stfolio in the Cabinet of Mr. Harrison id the President be re-elected and the ana Legislature lost. Mr. Grubb has re- fed the Spanish Mission, it 18 said, upon Miar promises of a reward for his Nees im the State of New Jersey Smith has resigned the Russian Mission sume in Philadelphia his duties as an rial ald of Mr. Harrison. The record of past permits of no doubts of promises of 8 N 5 1 — , ä future reward. Wm. B. Mecreary, hereto- fore potent in the politics of Michigan, has been permitted to resign the Consulship at Valparaiso in the face of charges, which cloud not himself alone, but the diplomatic service and the whole people of the United States. The desperate straits of the Repub- lican party im Michigan throws a flood of light on the generosity which the adminis- tration has shown to him. The privilege of resignation to McCreary isa reward greater than promise of future honors. THE UNKNOWN HOST. How many more of the great army of Ministers, Consuls General, Consuls and Commercial Agents will return to pay into the political bank of Mr. Harrison the price of their offices or the advance payments upon greater offices to be bestowed remains to be seen; of the fact that the work of marshaling the force of administration place-holders against the people is well under way, there can be no doubt. To all of them, from Cabinet minster and minister plenipotentiary to deputy marshai and porter in the Custom- house, the order ha sgonoe. Mr. Harrison expects every one to do his duty, For Mr. Harrison.’’ The exchequer of the people supplies the pay of this vast army who are to neglect the duties of their positions to subserve the in- terests of one man’sambitions to retain office and power, and in personal command of this army is the President of the United States himself, who, upon his nominationto office, pledged himself to respect the letter and the spirit of the civil service law, and who, upon his inauguration, pledged himself to protect the interests of the people andthe dignities of the high office with which he has been in- trusted, — CLEVELAND’S COURSE. HIS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE VETERANS OF THE WAR—HARRITY’S CIRCULAR. NEw YorK, Oct. 15.—The Republicans are making the most of ex-President Cle veland’s alleged discourtesy to the Grand Army vet- erans during the military parade on Wednes- day. There are two versions of Mr. Cleve- land's conduct on that occasion, One is that he turned his back while some of the Grand Army posts were passing, and the other is that he left the stand before the veterans had all gone by. The Grand Army men are an exceedingly touchy lot, and the Republicans have seized the incident to _ incite them to indignation, They have sent all through the State a report of Mr. Cleveland's alleged conduct, and this, together with previous documents, telling of Mr, Cleveland’s desire toreturn the rebel battle fags, has made the Democratic managers somewhat nervous, Chairman Harrity’s bureau, in an effort to offset the effect, issued yesterday a pamphlet on The Attitude of Cleveland to the War Veterans.’’ The newspapers were requested to print as much ofthis document as possible. L'art of the pamphlet refers to a comment made by Editor George W. Childs of the Philadelphia Ledger. Mr. Childs said during the Cleveland Administration, whenthe Kepublicans were raisinga hueand cry over Mr. Cleveland’s pension vetoes: In this private pension business the Pres- ident (Cleveland) has been engaged in cor- recting the errors of Congress. He has done It at the risk of having his motives misrep- resented, his conduct denounced, his pa- triotism questioned, his popularity impaired, but conscious of being right, determined todo right, he has gone resolutely on In the faith- ful discharge of his duty. That is what he should be encoyraged to continue todoand by no others more than the brave men who fought the battles of their country, and who should now stand shoulder to shoulder with the Commander-in-Chief of the Army in his efforts to make the pension list a roll of honor and every pension cer®ficate a token of valor and patriotism. The pamphlet far- ther gives an extract from Mr. Cleveland's letter of acceptance saying: The American people are genereus and grateful.-and they have impressed their characteristics upon their Government. Therefore all patriotic and just citizens must commend liberal con- sideration for our worthy veteran soldiers ond for the famliies ot those who have died. No complaint should be made of the amount of public money paid to those actually disabled or made dependent by reason of army service. But our pension roll should be a roll of honor, uncon- taminated by ill-desert and unvitiated by demagogic use. Thisisdue to those whose worthy names adorn the roll and to all our own peopie who delightto honor the brave and the true. It is also due to those, Who in yeurs to come should be allowed to hear, reverently and lovingly, the story of Amerti- can patriotism and tortitude, Ulustrated by our pension roll. The preferences accorded to veteran soldiers in public employment should be secured to them honestly and with- out evasion, and when capable and worthy their claim to the healthful regard and grati- tude of their countrymen shouid be ungrudg- ingly acknowledged.“ Ihe pamphlet also contains letters from Joseph W. Kay and John Martin, comrades of the G. A. R. They speak in the highest terins Of Mr. Cleveland’s attitude toward the old soldiers while he was President. Mr. Martin charges that the Soldiers’ Homeat Bath has been so run that the inmates are not allowed to ‘ote. Ira L. Davenport, the tepublican caLdidate for Governor in 1885, Was one of the governors of the, home. Carter and his brethren got wind of the Grand Army pamphiet issued by Mr. Har- rity’s bureau. They declared that Kay and his associates are practically ail there is of the National Veterans’ Tariff Reform League. STATESMAN SIMPSON. HE DISCOURSES ON.POLITICS AND THE PICT- URESQUE INGALLS. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 15.—When Con- gressman Jerry Simpson, the picturesque farmer statesman of the big Sevefth Kansas District, who spoke this evening in Kansas City, Kan., arrived there this morning he went to the restaurant of W. C. Smart for breakfast anck was agreeably surprised when “smart handed hima photograph taken fif- teen years ago of the wreck at Ludington, Mich.,ofthe schooner which Jerry com. manded. He at once launched out into a de- scription of the wreck and then he took his b eakfast. Then he talked to the Post- DISPATCH correspondent as follows: ‘‘Thaveconfined my attention strictly to Kansas during this campaign, and have not paid much attention to politics outside of the state. Kansas is safe. No one need worry about Kansas. ‘We will carry every- thing. 1 had thought we would all along, but I have become more than ever convincesd of it since l left my district and came into the Eastern part of the Stdte. Nothing can stop us. I have got my corn laid by and am going fish- ing for the State ticket. Llamgolngto get a majority one-fourth larger than before, That Democratic majority in Georgia is not going to have the least effect on the vote in Kansas. They can’t get People’s party men in Kansas to go back into the Kepublican party by teliing them that People’s party men in Georgia went back to the Democratic party. Because one man makes a mistake is not an argument why another man should make one. What effect is the entrance of Ingalls inio the campaign going to have? ‘Well, I think it will have the effect of driv- ing all the Democrats in Kansas into our party. Oh! yes, I have read his theatrical speech at Topeka, but don’t you know somehow it seems to me that Ingalls’ heart was notin that speech. Ingalls had his opportunity. He came very nearly embraciig it, I think, and then let it gO by. Like so many great men he has let his greatest opportunity 80 by. if he had rollowed up the speech he made on that 14th day of No- vember with others of the same kind and come With us, John J.

No, I hardly tnink Ingalls: even now realizes what he missed. He wil, though. Hetalksabout his seat in the Sen- ate. John J. will never live to see the day when that seat is his again.

Now, you've hit it. That is exactly what 1 think. Its day of dissolution is at hand. It has lived for fifteen years upon a dead issue Mr. : * dut the props have at last been knocked from under it and it’s got to tumble. For fifteen years the Republican party has been living upon the memories of the war. It has been shaking the bloody shirt and marshal- ling. its forces under that . ban- ner, and John J. Ingalls has been the apostle of this doctrine. This will not last any longer. When the Alliance broke the Republican narty’s power in Kansas that was the beginning of the end. No one be- lieves in protection but millionalres who want to become multimillionalres. Kansas’ old soldiers are through with dead issues,and so areall the others.

On what questions are they going to divide? Here is where they will divide: There is bound always to be two great political par- ties, one the conservative party, which I say is the Democratic party, and the other the party of progress. The Democratic party will continue to represent what it has always represented, while the People's party will stand for progressand new ideas. The Republican pa y was at its start a party of progress, ut it is no longer so, It is the fate of these progressive parties. As soon as they draw the people to them and win the spoil-seekers, the place- hunters rush to them and demoralize them; they no longer seek to carry out the ideas which gave them birth, and there is nothing left for them but to die and fade away. JOINING THE PROCESSION, REPUBLICANS COMING IN DROVES TO CLEVE- LA’ S SUPPORT. NEW Haven, Conn., Oct. 15.—The report that H. Linde Harrison had withdrawn from the Republican League and that he proposed to renounce’ his allegiance to Republican principles and accept those of the Demo- cratic party has occasioned considerable comment in this city to-day, and speculation has been rife as to whether it was true. Judge Harrison has made no public expres- sion of his intentions and refuses to: discuss his future political plans. He does not ad- mit that he will vote the Democratie ticket. His closest friends, however, think that he will, His action in practically leaving the party had long been ex pected. Mr. Harrison, it was further stated, had not been in sympathy with the principles of the party, and it was Known he disapproved the McKinley bill. He predicted at the last generalelection that the Republican party would be defeated. Mr. Harrison believed that the Democratic State officers elected years ago, with the exception, perhaps, of Luzon B. Morris, should be seated. ‘This he counseled nis party to do; but was op- posed by John A. Porter of Hartford, who finally won the contest, and legislation was blocked fortwo years. Later Mr. Har- rison appeared in the courts as attorney for Mr. Phelan in his contest for secretary of State. In espousing Mr. Phelan’s cause Mr. Harrison was severely criticised. He was to-day in court fighting for a re-opening of the quo-warranto case, and is is generally believed by politicians that he has renounced the Republican party. TWENTY-SIX IN A BUNCH. BUFFALO, Oct. 15.—Twenty-six farmers around Silver Creek, who have always voted the straight Republican ticket, are coming out for Cleveland, to vote and work for him. The sentinient...is<gaswing..anid a fatr Democratic majority is looked for this fall in that hitherto Republican region. These twenty-six farmers did not straggle over to tariff reform, but in a meeting at Forestville, held Wednesday night,renoucced tne Republican party in a body. In Hamlet, a little village afew miles from Forestville, there are a number or Republican farmers who have expressed the determina- tion to vote for Cleveland. The Democratic leaders have been working night and day since the opening of the canvass, and the tepublican majority in Chautaqua wl be cut from 6,00) tor 4,000 without a doubt. In Silver Creek the Republican majority will be cut down 80 -per cent. The defection ts spreading in all the farming country throughout Western New York. -A NEW TRICK. CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT IN THE GUISE OF A BUSI- NESS LETTER. NEW YorK, Oct. 15.—A new Republican campaign trick was brought to light at National Democratic headquarters yester- day. It was a campaign document in the guise ofa business letter. This was sent toa merchant in Illinois by a Philadelphia carpet firm in which John Dobson Its a special partner. Mr. Dobson is closely asso- ciated with Postmaster-General Wana- maker, and his special business 1s to look After the finances for that great man. The letter was addressed to a man who never had any business relations with the Dobsons. He was atalossto understand why the letter was sent to him, until he read !t, and then he understood that politicsand not trade was its purpose. Here is the letter: PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10, 1892. DEAR Sin: Nearly one-third more wool having gone into consumption since May 1 than in the same eriod of 1891. stocks are necessarily wuch reduced. Mauufacturers are busier than for years and the election of Gen. Harrison will remove whatever there is of uncertainty in the future of the textile industries and infuse fresh vigor into the demand for wool. If you forward us your wool now we will beable to haveit openea and displayed for sale when the best point of the market is touched. We are making fair advances on bills of lading, Shall we send you sacks? Yours truly, Louis S. Fiske & Co, POLITICAL ASSESSMENT, A DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE STATUTES. New Lokk, Oct. 15.—The Democratic Com- mittee has received a copy of a circular which violates the laws of the United States by levying a definite assessment of 5 per cent on postmasters’ salaries for campaign pur- poses. The document is issued by the Sec- retary of the Allegheny County Postmasters’ Association, and is as follows: BLACK CREEK, N. V., Oct. 18. DEAR Sirn—Ata meeting of the mittee, held at Cuba Aug. 12, unanimously adopted: Resoived—That the President snd Secretary are instructed to notify each Postmaster of Allegheny County that the amount of contribution to be made to the Republican County Committee 5 per cent of one year's compensation. You have no doubt received a letter from the Allegheny County Republican Committee requesting that you make some contribution toward defraying the legit- imate eg mee of the coming campaign. It 18 earnestiy hoped that you will comply with the re- quest "ours truly, S. C. BURDICK, Chairman. CLARENCE RICK&K, Secretary. „No more direct violation of the law could be conceived than this which is perpetrated | by an organized body of United States of- ficials, especially bound to exert observances of the antl- assessment statutes,’’ said a gen- tleman at Democratic State headquarters to- day. HAS FALLEN THROUGH. THE SCHEME OF THE ANTI-TAMMANYITES TO FUSE WITH REPUBLICANS. New York, Oct. 15,—The scheme to secure afusion with the Republicans ona county ticket against that to be named by Tammany Hall has fallen through and the anti-Tam- many Democrats who were its promoters are disconsolate. Mr. Thomas C. Platt was supposed to be in favor of such a ticket and is said by the Democrats who desired it to have urged the gepublican local machine to make the combination. But Mr. Platt's opinion was not shared by the boys, the district leaders like Johnny Simp- because otherwise Executive Com- the following was vo * 1 son, Geo. Hilliard. John B. Nugent, Barney Biglin and their followers in control of the county organization and they put their veto on it, declaring in favor of a ight ticket. The Democrats who were p e strings for the fusion ticket said that Mr. Platt de- clared that he could do nothing but ad- that de was not a doss, if his: advice was wUnheeded: he could do nothing to bring about the result sought. The County Democrats and anti- Snappersareupastump. Theyare left on their own resources, which are not consider- able since ex-Mayor Grace deserted them. With no possibility of electing one candidate on a general ticket all their enthusiasm has vanished, The district leaders in the Assembly districts where the anti- Tammany vote is strongest who had enter- tained hope of electing thelr assembly and aldermanic candidates felt very blue yester- day. In other districts W e it was pro- posed to fight valliantly with local candi- dates, allthe fighting spirits’ seem to have disappeared with the prospects of havinga — 4 bit of Republican money to spend on election day. IT WAS GERMAN NIGHT, STEVENSON’S — ABLAZE WITH LIGHTS AND EXTHUSIASM. — BLooMInGcTon, III., Oct. 15,—Stevenson’s home was ablaze to-night with the glimmer of torches. Thousands of peaple assembled on the streets and made the welkin ring with long huzzahs. It was rman night and well was it demonstrated in this, the birthplace of Republican. A monster parade was formed on Main t which was the largest that has so far pare the streets of Bloomington. The parade was headed by the Conaly band, following which came the Stevenson Escort Club of aboutseventy mem bers, after which followed the First Voters’ Club, each member of wnleh carried a lan- ternand all divided into ple oons of red, white and blue, Following tu First Voters’ was the new West Side Club of about 200, while the German- Americans Brought up the rear, and, though last, was net least by any means, as it contained about 490 members, most of whom voted for Harrison and Morton four years ago, t who will vote for Cleveland, Stevensom® and Altgeld this fall. After long maren into different arts of the city, procession ended at the emocratic headquarters in Schroeder’s Opera-house, that was peautifally decorated with inscriptions, banners, bunting and pictures of various candidates. Immediately after line was broken the large hall was packed with German- Amer! s to hear a speech in German by Dr. Japeph Senner, editor of the New York Staats Zeitung. Upon a platiorm was seated a number of promi: nent Germans. Dr. Sennersp@ke for about two hours. The editor of the Staats Zeitung is a graduate of the University ol Vienna, and native of Austria. Ue spoke about the McKinley tariff and exhibited a picture from the Fliegende Pietter, which made his audience laugh. Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson and John P. Altgeld were praised and reference was made to labor roublesin Pennsylvania and the agi- tation over the schoo! question in Wisconsin and Illinois. Tune main part of his speech was devoted to the tariff and many good points were made. Fallowing Dr. Senner. Prof. Rit miller, Principal of the Lutheran School of this city, made a few remarks. The meeting was a grand success in every way. The German editor is satisfed that both Illinois and Wisconsin will join the Demo- cratic ranks, THEY FLED. . REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS EVADE A LEGAL PRO- CEEDING. Sr. Paul, Minn., Oct. 15.—A great deal was added to the political situa ** ta late this afternoon, by the Democratic State Central Committee, which began mandamus proceedings against the Secretary of State, Frederick . Brown, to compel him to place the names of nine electors on the Democratic ticket on the Australian ballot. When the names of the candidates were filed on Monday the Democratic Committee handed in five Cleve- land electors and four Weaver electors with the request that their names be placed in the space allotted to the Democrats. This secretary Brown refused to do on the ground that four oftheir names were also on the Weaver ticket, and he made the plea that he could place only the names of the five Democrats in the Democratic space he would be doubling names. The secretary then turned the mat- ter over to State Printer Ramaley, with di- rections to print the names of only five yemocratic electors. To-daythe Democratic ‘tate Central Committee asked the State Supreme Court fora writ of mandamus, but that body refused on the ground that no mandamus could He against a State officer under the constitution. Later in the day, however, a writ was issued by Judge Brill of the District Court, conipelling Secre- tary brown to appear on Monday and show cause who he should not placethe names of the Democrats on the State ticket as re- quested. When the officers appeared atthe state Capitol to serve the writ Secretary Brown and his chief Deputy had fled, and the papers could not be served. Marshals are scouring the State to-night in searchof the fleeing State officers, POLITICAL NOTES. FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE ADDRESSED BY JUDGE ALTGELD. MATTOON, III., Oct, 15.—Judge John P. Alt- geld, Democratic candidate for Governor, spoke here to-day to 5,000 people. It was the most enthusiastic rally that has been held in this section of the State during the present campaign. In reference to the charge made in the Chicago Tribune this morning to the effect that he had attempted to defeat Gen. Paimer for United States Senator, Judge Altgeld pronounced it an infamous falsehood as the following inter- view will show: Judge, what have you got to say about the article in the Chicago Tribune this morning giving a fac simile letter of yours to one WIII- bank and charging that you triedto defeat Gen. Palmer?’’ ‘Oh, it is simply a lot of infamous bosh, I heard of it before our State Convention. A little fellow named Pickering,who was work- ing against me, hadfixedup alot of stuff and was talking of publishing it, I sent word to have everything published that I had ever written or said. Since thatl have heard of it several times, and each time sent word tothe people who claimed to have it to publish it. They have heid it back till now, hoping to create a sensation, and until 1 am prone to be an idiot, nobody will believe the silly stuff. Ididas muchas any Demo- crat in lllinois to carry the Sate for Democracy and elect Gen. Palmer to the Senate. A careful examina- tion of the fac-simile letter shows that I was then working for him. The Rin the letter referred tothe Hon. Rufus Ram- | sey, now a candidate for Treasurer, and then a member of the Legislature and one of the mostardent and able supporters of Gen. Palmer. in factthe Democrats relied more on Mr. Ramsay thanon any other one man and he worked day and night fo elect Gen. Pal- mer. He was known to have the confidence of Dr. Mooro, who, it was claimed had several times promised to vote for Gen. Paimer and then had wavered again. It was known that Cockrell was ready to come over, and all depended on holding Dr. Moore. Finally we heardin Chicago that everything was allright and that the elec- tion of Gen. Palmer was assured, but we also learnea, however, that Long Jones and the Republican managers were making desperate efforts to prevent Dr. Moore from voting with our people. It was at this time tnat I got a letter from Mr. Wiibanks pre- dicting that Gen. Paimer could never be elected, that there would be a break-up and that Republicans believed they could elect Farwell. It was in reply to the letter that I wrote the letter Elven in the ‘Tribune telling Wilbanks to have Mr. Ramsey see Dr. Moore at once and arrange definitely and finally to have the Doctor with our pro- e. This was on March Yad on March 11 „ Palmer was triumpDanitly elected. 1 was anxious, as all Mccrats were negroes of the Illinois Republican ) traveling over Tennessee and Kentucky with accompany them to Il!tnois. transport them to Chicagoand other points In blocks of ten or twenty. too, | greet Gen. Stevenson and Hon. Ben W. Pope we could not elect him it would be impossible other Democrat.’’ your agent?’’ nks claimed at Springfield. I paid no attentionto what he did. He professed to be for Gen. Palmer, but he seemed to doubt whether he could be elected, When in Chicago Wilbanks would occasionally call on me for a few minutes, just as he did on dozens of other promi- nent Democrats, and I thought nothing about it. He had taken an active part in the campaign the previous fall and did excellent work for the whole Democratic ticket. Last winter this fellow Pickering cal at my office in Chicago and wanted me to employ him to write me up and m me in the newspaper, stating that the people outside of Chicago did not know me, thatl needed advertising, but I deciined to employ him andtold him thatI did not want to be boomed in the newspapers, in fact I dis- missed him as quickly as I could, for I had already heard the talk about his having betrayed Gen. Palmer by giving away the secrets of his corre- spondence while acting as private secretary, and I wanted nothing todo with him. Ever since that date he has been throwing his slime around promiscously, and of late seems to have no market for his wares except the Chicago Tribune. Now, I have no objections to his getting all of the money from the Re- publicans that he can, but they must he very badly off if they are compelled to deal with Pickering, The fact is the Republicans feel that they are beaten in this State, and will resort to anything.’’ . IT RESTS WITH NEW YORK, .. | CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 15.—Senator Sherman was visited at his rooms in the Burnet House and in the course ofa little chat said,regard- ing the political situation: ‘‘I feel about it as one would when looking at the north star. If Mr. Cleveland carries New York, he will be the next President; if Mr. Harrison carries it, he will be elected. But my judgment is that Harrison will carry the State. Hill and Cleveland will not ‘get together’ and have no love for each other. I am inclined to belive that the effort to hold a meet- ing in New York, at which Cleveland is to preside and Hill speak, will prove a fall - ure, for Mr. Cleveland, I think, will not pre- side. The Senator said that there was no likell- hood of the kepublicans carrying any of the southern states except West Virginia, where he thought they had a chance. hie re- gards Gen, Sickles’ conversion as significant for Sickles is an ardent Hill man and his de- sertion of Cleveland is taken by Sherman as an evidence of Hill’s real sentiments inthe present campaign. Gresham he thought was not an important acquisitionto the Democ- racy. COLONIZING VOTERS.

STEVENSON AT CAIRO. SOUTHERN ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS GREET THE VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. Carro, III., Oct. 15.—For many days the en- thusiastic Democrats of Cairo have been working like heroes making preparations tor an event that was to stand out asa red letter incident in their history—a visit from Hon, Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for the next to the highest office in the gift ofthe American people. The result oftheir labor was made manifest to-day. Gen. Stevenson arrived on the midnight train lastnight. He was met at the depot by a number of the gentlemen of the committee, the First Voters’ Club and others, who gave their guest a typical warm hearted welcome, escorted him tothe Halliday and after a brief time spent in in- troductions allowed him to retire for the night. A slight rain fell about 20’clock this morn- ing, but daylight dawned fair, the sun rose clear and all doubts as to the weather vanished, The spirits of those so deeply interested rose accordingly. At an early hour the work of placing the decorations on the business houses and residences began. <A huge streamer bearing the names Cleveland, Stevenson and Altgeld’’ was stretched across Commercial avenue at Eighth street. Another Similar one bear- ing the portraits also was across the avenue at the Opera-house, and in a brief space of time that avenue and many of the other streets were ablaze with red, white and biue. The Citizens’ Committee met at the Holliday at 10 O' clock. There, were hundreds of others to of Duquoin, candidate for Congress from this | district, who were holding a reception in one of the hotel parlors. The trains began to arrive on schedule time, each bringing extra coaches and large of peonle from the adjacent States. The Illinois Central South brought 500 people. The train from =the north as many more, while the Big Four, the Iron Mountain, the Cotton Belt and the Mo- bile & Ohio swelled the quota until the streets were alive with people. Just before noon a small but loul mouthed cannon on the levee began firing a salute in numbers honor of the occasion, and kept it up at in- tervals during the day. At 2 o’clock Gen. Stevenson began his speech toa large audi ence in St. Mary's Park, and for more thaa two hours he kept his lsteners. spellbound, save when they greeted him with tremen- dous applause. He discussed the tariff in his usual masterly manner, and handled the Kepublican theory of protection without ‘1 * -committed suicide this | gloves. He concluded witha forcible argu- ment against the force bill. To-night there was an immense torch-light rocession, headed by the First Voters’ Flambeau Club. More than two thousand torches were in line. It was reviewed by Gen. Stevenson and other distinguished gentlemen from a hand- somely decorated balcony. After the parade, the Opera-house was packed to its utmost capacity to hear speeches from Hon. James S. Ewing, Hon. Charles Ewing, Hon. Ben W. Pope, candidate for Congress from this dis- trict, and from Hon. Henry A. Phillips of Malden, Mo. DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE AT MENDOTA. MeEnpora, III., Oct. 15.—Over twenty thou- sand Democats of Northern Illinois assem- bled here to-day and feasted at the great- est barbecue ever given in the State. Perhaps the most distinguished feature of the celebration was the extentto which the women lent their presence and aid to make the rally and feast a success. The wives of the Mendota men decorated their homes, baked cakes and doughnuts, and then rode in the procession and served on the Committee of Reception. Thirty of the women, attired in full riding-habit, even unto the plug hat, and mounted on not too frisky beasts, were with’ the local marching club at every train to escort the incoming guests to their headquarters. The local women also served as waitresses at the barbecue grounds and in other ways contributed to the’success of the day. They were not alone in their par- ticipation in the parade, for with tnem marched the woman’s uniformed Cleve- land ahd Stevenson club of Lostant. Its membership is fifty and all were in line, bright by reason of their flaming dresses and white sashes and noticeable for the precision with which they kept in place and intime with the band that preceded them. Their military bearing and admirable appearance was freely commented upon and cheered along the line of march. One hundred steers, 200 pigs, 100 sheep and bread galore were consumed. After the feast ex-Gov. Hubbard, W. G. Ewing, Clayton E. Crafts and Senator Duncan delivered good Democratic speeches. RALLY AT BENTON. BENTON, III., Oct. 15.—The crowning politicaleventin the present campaign in this section was the Hunter rally held here to-day. Last night a heavy rain fell which settled tue dust, and early this morning the sturdy Egyptian farmers began to arrive by hundreds, and when Gen. Hunter, escorted by the Hon. D. M. Browning, ar- rived from Metropolis, he was greeted by lusty cheers from the throats of assembled thousands. Judge D. M. Browning presided atthe meeting, and in a neat speech pre- sented Judge Hunter as the hero of a hundred political battles. Here the cheers which greeted the arrival of our next Congressmen-at-Large were renewed and it was withdifliculty he opened his speech. Suchan arraignment of a political party was seldom, if ever, heard in Southern Illinois and his tariff arxument was fine and masterly. The Hon. F. M. Youngblood of Carbondale followed Judge Hunter and with impassioned eloquence he held his audience spellbound for almost two hours. The Centralla Band and visiting Glee Club furnished excellent music through- Out the day. Thecrowd was variously esti- mated at fromthree to fivethousand, The city was one mass of flags and bunting. REPUBLICAN RALLY. MONTICELLO, III., Oct. 15.—The Republicans of Piatt County held a grand rally to-day at Mansfie!d with large delegations present from several points with bands and uni- formed clubs. Hon. J. H. Rowell, Hon. J. A. Miller, Hon. B. F. Funk, Hon. R. 8. Wheatly and Judge Frank Wright were the speakers. There was a grand parade in the po oe gag and a torchiight proresston at night, JOINT DEBATE. GREENFIELD, III., Oct. 15.—This evening, Wm. Ward, presidentialelector ofthis city onthe Republican ticket, and Thos. Hen- shaw, presidential elector of Carrollton, on the Democratic ticket, both ofthis Twelfth Congressional District locked their political horns in a joint discussion in the Court-house yard in Carrollton. A large crowd of both political parties went over from here to hear the issues of the day dis- cussed. REPUBLICAN RALLY. RAMSEY, Oct. 15.—The Republicans held a grand rally in Carson to-day. Speeches were made by Dr. Higgins, candidate for the Legislature, Hon, J. E. Sharrock of Taylor- ville and G. W. Brown of Vandalia, A big crowd and much enthusiasm. | A FLAG RAISING. MASCOUTAH, III., Oct. 15.—A rousing Dem- ocratic rally was held here to-night. Aftera flag raising and a torchlight parade a big mass-meeting was held at the Central Turner Hall. Ex-Gov. Koerner and Hon. Don Turner made telling speeches. A LIVELY CAMPAIGN. LEBANON, Mo., Oct. 15.—During the next three weeks the campaign in this county will beat fever heat. There are three county tickets in the fleld. Democratic, Re- publican and People’s party, and all of them are making an active canvass of the county. Meetings are being held nightly in different parts of the County and they will be continued until the day of election. Ex-Congressman Kinsey of St. Louls and Judge M. I. Wallace of this city, Republican candidate for Judge of the St. Louis Court of Appeals, addressed afaircrowdat the opera-house this after- noon and to-night. It was supposed that the Republicans would have a torch:Iight pro- cession to-night, but evidently their failure to make a success of the one they attempted to have two or three weeks ago was too fresh in their minds and they concluded thatit would bea waste of good oll to try again. Hon. W. J. Stone will speak here on the 29th inst. and the Dem- ocrats are making arrangments for one of the largest political demonstrations ever seen in this part of the State. Gov. Francis will also speak here on Nov. 5. The Republicans have announced C. I. Filley for the 24th inst. and Maj. Warner for Nov. 2. The Democratic canaidates and other speakers are making a splendid can- vass of the county and report that the indi- cations for an increased Democratic majority are excellent, SYMPATHY FOR THE PRESIDENT. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.—Secretary of State Foster has received a note from the Hon, J. G. Blainein which Mr. Blaine asks Secretary Foster to convey tothe President his profound sympathy for him in the present critical condition of Mrs. Harrison’s health.

M, Shishkin, the bulldozing chief of the Foreign Office in St, Petersburg, since M. DeGiers retired, ig about to follow his protest against the recep- tion of Stambuloff by the Sultan by a protest again further fortifying of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles under the direction of the Bel- gian, Gen. Brialmont. The final report of PPialmont was laid before the Sultan this week. He is understood to dave pronounced the artillery of. the present fortifications at the entrance to the Black Sea to be sufficient. This artil- lery consists of heavy Krupp guns of recent pattern. The armor of the fortificationg however, is considered by Brialmont to be of the poorest. New gun carriages to facilitate the mobility of the guns are also necessary. These improvements will cost the Sultan many million pounds, which he can ill afford to spend in the present disordered condition of Turkish finances. Nevertheless there is ‘little doubt that Brialmont’s recommenda- tions will be approved by the Porte which has been putina fever of apprehension by the high-hanaed way in which Shishkin has been laying down demands and reproofs in Constantinople recently. Gen, Brialmong will return to Belgium late in this month to take his seat in the Belgian Chamber. He will be in constant commun cation with the Sultan’s military chiefs, however, and the work on the fortifications will be pressed forward with all haste so that Turkey may be ready for the ultimatum from St. Petersburg. Inthe spring he will again go to Constantinople to superintend per- sonally fora short time the most important details of the work. Many people, and the sentiment finds an echo in the press, belleve that Russia medi- tates a surprise to Constantinople by a con- joint landing of troops in European and Asiatic Turkey. The Bosphorus forts, it ts said, are to be attacked from the rear, and the approach of hostile fleets is to be pre- vented by torpedoes, while it is calculated that a Russian torpedo fleet could enter the Golden Horn at night and completely destroy the Turkish fleet, and that the whole could be accomplished in twenty-four hours. The beating of the big drum in Berlin, pre- paratory to the introductionof the military bill was begun this week, when the recall of the German military attache of Legation in St. Petersburgand of the Russian military attache of Legation in Berlin was semie officially announced. This exchange of dis. courtesies was made of course at Russia’g suggestion. It is undoubtedly the conse- quence of Germany’s refusal to consider the placing of a Russian loanin Berlin and the coldness of German commissioners confer- ring with the Czar’s representatives as to closer commercial relations between the countries. Nevertheless, Russia’s action ig represented as a warning of the growing hos- | tility which is likely to end soon in war, Hence the hundred or more millions desired by the government for the army should be granted by the Reichstag and nobody should grumble if the army be increased by 90,000, or 100,000 men. This is an old trick of Prince Bismarck, turned to account by Chancellog Von Caprivi, CROSSING THE BORDER, CHINESE COMING INTO THE UNITED STATE§ FROM CANADA. MONTREAL, Quebec, Oct. 15,—E. H. Twohy, Deputy Collector in charge of Bonaventure Depot, has observed a great number of Chi- namen taking the cars for St. John’s, St. Hilaire and other points on the Richelieu River. Suspecting a smuggling scheme he notified E. C. Vankirk, Special Customs In- spector at Rouse’s Point, N. I., and the twa wento work. Thursday afternoon the Canadian barge A. Gravel, Capt. Amos Hamel, from Sorel, bound to Albany, N. Y., was seized. On examination fully a dozen Chinamen were found stowed away in the hold, all of whom, together with the captain of the barge, were taken into custody and landed in the Platts-« burg Jalil. It is said here that three Cana- dians managed the scheme, and that they were to recelve $50 a head for every Celestial landed in the United States. At a largely attended meeting of citizeng last evening a political union club was or- ganized. The gathering was enthusiastic, and a thoroughly representative one, some of the leading professional and business men in Toronto being present. The intention of the club is to begin active work in distribu. ting and circulating literature as well as holding public meetings throughout the province. A member of the Cabinet stated last night that the Government had received no reply from Newfoundland as to when they will meet the Canadian delegates at Halifax to discuss the commercial relations between the two colonies and that all matters are at a standstill.

Hunger and Distress Follow Fae- tional Strife in Ireland. Morley’s First Experiment Thwarted by Riyal Party Leaders. * ENGLISH HOME RULERS DISSATISFIED WITH THE OUTLOOK. The Parnellites Anxious to Break the Lib- eral Majority and Bring On Another General Election--Purpose ofthe Dublin Convention—Hard Winter for Ireland’s Poor—Mrs. Langtry’s Racers—Troubles in the Army— The Two Kaisers. Lorpow, Oct. 15.—Ireland promises to be the most unhappy country in the world this winter. The gloom which enshrouds it 18 steadily deepening and the coming cold is sure to ‘bring great suffering to the peasantry. The-priceof cattle is lower than it has been for ten years, so the propect of paying rentis very remote. Added to this misfortune, landlordsare beginninga cam- paign of eviction. Hunger and eviction added together will result in out- rage and disorder. Thus, the out- look for Morley's experiment in ruling Ireland without coercion is not bright. It might succeed if there was a united Irish party ready to use its influence to restrain the people, but instead of that one sees the Parneliites on one hand inciting them to hostiJity to the Government, and the Nationalists, on the other, afraid to boldly champion Morley lest they might give color to the absurd allegation that they are mere supporters of the British Ministry. ¢ Morley, by the appointment of Nationalist magistrates throughout the country, has shown his desire to reform one of the worst abuses of the castle sys- tem, and in naming the members of the evicted tenants’ commission has dis- played the same spirit. He offerred both sections of the Irish parties the privilege of each nominating one member on the com- mission. The Parnellites rejected his pro- posal with scorn as nn attempt to oppose them, while the Nationalists thought it would weaken their position if they puta man on when the Parnellites refused. Thus the chante of rendering valuable service to the evicted tenanants is lost. THE DUBLIN CONVENTION. The principal object of the Parnellites’ convention in Dubiin this week was to keep their Dudiin newspaper, the Independent. all ve. the delegates promised to push its circulation in their respective districts. The convention | was not harmonious, as ill-feeling is growing | between the nine members who represent the party in Parliament and the twenty who lost their seats. These latter are for resort- ing to an extreme policy, as the best chance of getting back to Pariiamentis by barassing Gladstone and Morley so as to produce a split in the Liberal party and precipitate another general election. This will not bea difficult matter, and Redmond maintains that he can attain it just as effectually by more plausible tactics. The English home rulers are only human, and they are naturally disgusted at the way in which the Irish factions are trying toem- barrass Morley, whois doing his utmostina situation of tremendous difficulty. The loss of the Chencester election has brought this disgust to an acute stage, and though the de- feat of the Liberal candidate was due wholly to the local influences, the Liberals are in- clined to attribute it to the Irish split. Another important matter before the con- vention was a move to get that Paris fund | | timates that 200,000 people will be asking for ald this winter. out of France into Ireland. There are nearly $200,000 locked up there, doing no youd to anybody. McCarthy is just as efixious as Rodmond to bring the money to ¢his side of the channel and the entire Irish people are more desirous of this than either of the factions. Redmond’s proposal that Parnellites and anti-Parnellites eaca appoint a committee of three to get hold of and to distribute this money will not be listened to by McCarthy’s followers. Still, the first move has been made and a conference of the two factions will be held, and it is probable that before Parliament meets the fund will be vallable forthe purposes for which it was tended. TROUBLES IN THE ARMY. Wise men over here are trying hard to give a reason for the general disaffection through- out the army. Here is the latest explanation. rue officersin the authority say that they have information that the recent meetings are the result, not of regimental unpleasant- ness, but of an organized band of socialists, Who have been instilling ideas of freedom in- to the minds of these soldiers. Color is given to this theory by the fact that the reziments stationed in and around London have been the most mutinous. These regiments are brought more closely in contact with civilians and workingmen, and some of the spirit of trades unionism has come over them. _ PERILS OF THE SEA. The dramatic interest of a shipwreck is usually lost because there is no outsider ever present to note the great catastrophe,andthe sea keeps itsown secrets. Down at the sum- mer resort of Blackpool last Sunday visitors saw the picture ofa shipwreck such as bas never been seen by a summer resort audience before. There was a terrific onshore wale and the Norwegian bark Se- rene. utterly helpless, was driven straight before it towards the promenade pler. The promenade was crowded with hundreds of interested people, who watched the great ship plunging toward them. They were utterly powerless to help themselves. Shecame straight towrad the crowd, crashed intothe pier and was turn and pounded apart by the waves. Curlously enough the crew of eleven persons were saved, allof them scrambling ashore just at the moment the bark struck. It was touch and go forthe next minute, the ship being broken up before their eyes. THE TWO KAISERS. The crowning event of Emperor Williams’ visit to Vienna was the grand dinner givenin his honor at Schonbrun Palace. The dinner was laid in the long gallery, which has al- ways been kept very private and which has never been described. It occuples the cen- tral part of the castle and is lighted by eleven tall windows, faced by as many mirrors, which reach from the ceiling to the floor. In the center, oh the mirrored side, are two wide arches opening into a salon, from which one has a view of the beantiful grounds. Covers were laid for ninety, at one long table, andthe service was of gold. In the center before the two Emperors, who sat side by side, was a round golden dish, probably three feet wide. This was fillea with flowers. The whole length of the table was adorned by center pieces of massive gold, ternating with covered disches, vases and delabra ofthe same metal. The flowers, the gold and ground glass of the bottles all viended with the soft light shea by 1,200 candles. A military band played Viennese music in an adjoining room and struck up the over- ture to the Fledermaus“ asthe Emperors, aide by side, walked into the gallery, at the * If You Lose Your Life by an Accident, nd This’ Coupon Is Found on Your Person, THE SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH On Compliance With the Conditions Stated Below, Will Present Your Heirs With FIFTY DOLLARS.

Her best horse was beaten yesterday in the Middle Park Plate by a very narrow mar- gin. She has gone into the thing in her usual business-like manner and means to win. These are her own methods, in her own words: To buy good horses you should know their pedigree. their tempers, pace, and and strains of their sire and dam. You should be able to see in a long-legged foal the developed 2-year-old, and his points and be able to fix his price within a hundred pounds or two. Then you must know all about trainers, their fees and their qualities. You should know the form and character of every jockey, what their services and your secrets are worth, and how much in-and-out running is natural and how much is not, and how the form of horses and mares varies, and at what season of the year. Besides, you should be able to judge character and read between the lines of flattering trainer’s reports, ana always bear in mind that one horse at least out of every twenty stables is bound to win every race that is run. CURRENT TOPICS. There are rumors of a big scheme here, pro- moted by Baron Hirsch and other capitalists, to secure a large syndicate of London and pro- vincial newspapers for the purpose of run- ning financial enterprises. The purchase of the Pall Mali Gazette is the first step, and it is said it will be followed by others. Over in Paris the other day a merchant was arrested for buying a blind man for 20 francs. § The first owner of the blind man bought him from the asylum at Nanterre and used to lead him along the front of cafes to beg. He sold him to another enterprising speculator for 20 francs. The second specu- lator lost money on the blind man for several days, and then turned him loose to shift for himself. The police took the poor fellow up. He gave the address of his late proprietor and that gentleman is now in jail. D. L. Moody, the American revivalist, a little grayer and stouter, but still full of energy and armed with Sankey’s hymns, has taken the tabernacie. He is drawing vast crowds again. John Burns was one of the invited guests at Tennyson’s funeral, but the Prince of Wales went to the races that day instead of to the Abbey. Several cases of broken limbs and one fatal accident in foot- ball matches have been reported this week. The dead man is William Wallace of Aberdeen, who was struck in the abdomen while playing. Consul-General New at a public dinner given to Mr. Frank White last Saturday, said inthe course of his speech: 1 main- tain thatthe New York Sun is the best Re- publican newspaper in America.

LonpDon, Oct. 15.—Complete information as to the extent of loss caused by the storm in the British Islescannot yet be ascertained. The River Ayr has overflowed its banks and the low-lying parts of Leeds, Hol- beck and Hunslet are under water. The occupants of many houses have fied to places of safety, fearing a further rise ofthe water. The Derwent has also over- flowed its banks, tnundating the moors and drowning hundreds of cattle and sheep. While a freight train was crossing the bridge over the River Wear at Durham, the bridge was swept away and the loco- motive and cars are at the bottom of the river. The train hands escaped. At Wake field, near Leeds, several people were in- jured by explosion of gas in a hotel. The basement was flooded by the overflow from the River Wear, and it is supposed that the water displaced the metal, allowing the gas to escape. The house was completely wrecked. Theinjured were removed to a hospital. The telegraph lines are down in every di- rection and communication with some of the coast towns is greatly interrupted. Tidings of disasters continue to be re- celved, and loss of life by shipwreck is be- ginning to be reported. The fishing yawl James and Robert was capsized yester- day in a heavy squall in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, into which the was put ting for shelter under short canvas. One mau Was seen clinging to the bottomof the overturned boat, but it was impossible for the rescuers to reach him intime to save him, An attempt was made to rescue him, but almost before the intending rescuers could bearaway for hima heavy sea swept over the yawl and when it had, passed the man had disappeared. Much damage has been caused by the floods in various parts of the country. So severe is the gale that a number of craft at various places along the coast have been broken from their moorings, though extra anchors were put out and sunk after being blown hither and thither about the harbors. At Milton, a town in the North Riding of Yorkshire, on the River Derwent, it has rained continuously for forty hours, and the storms show no sighs of abatement. The tye and Derwent rivers nave overflowed and the country for miles about is inundated. Ine floods have naturally been most disas- trous in the moorlands. Half the crops, still unharvested ,are submerged, and vast areas of pasture land are impassable except in boats. Much alarm is felt at Doncaster at the rapid rise of River Don, and every Anme is taken against an overflow. LOKDON’S WORKERS. THEY WILL MAKE A MONSTER DEMONSTRATION ON NOY. 13. Loxnpvon, Oct. 15.—Sunday, Nov. 13, promises to be an eventful day in London. The or- ganizations of the workingmen of the city propose to show their strength in a monster parade, No official intl mation has been made by the Home Office that the demonstration will not be per- mitted, and the presumption that the Home Secretary will not act is based on his assail- ing the late Government for preventing the meetings. The danger for Mr. Asquith and tion on Sunday will give rise to others on week-days, When shops and warehouses are open, and may lead at some unexpected mo- ment to some wild mob of starving wretches, thieves and loafers, once again wrecking and looting from Pall Mall to Hyde Park. are the old set, Socialists Hyndman, nard, Shaw and Graham Wallis, Trades Unionists Tomman and Tillet.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 18.—Further in- vestigation into the rulings made by Assiat- ant Secretary Bussey under the Harrison Administration, discloses the fact that they have been of a partisan character through - out, and that ruling No. 15, the publication of which created such a stir, is no exception, except that in its terms it was slightly more improper than its predecessors. The char- acter of many of these rulings is fully shown in the preface to volume 4, Pension Decisions, which was dictated by Assistant Secretary Bussey and printed as the official statement of the department’s position on the general subject of pensions. In almost every line will be found a comparison between methods of the present administration and that of Mr. Cleveland, always to the disadvantage of the | latter. The text of the preface, fallows: ) The bestowal of pensions was author ned by the Government 's self - assumed obligation to care for those who should incur either disease or injury by reason of line of duty in the military service. Such being the founda- tion of the pension system, it de- comes of first importance to ascertain the breadth and Umitations of that line. When considering this fundamental point atthe beginning of this administra- tion, the Assistant Secretary was confronted by the narrow and obviously erroneous rul- ing which hed been made June 25, 1886, in tha case of Wm. M. Ammerman (Decision relating to pensions, Vol. 1, 6, 5, 7), and also by that which had been announced in the case of William H. Brockenshaw, July . 1887. **(Decisions relating to pensions, volume 1. 6, 194, involving the relation of accidental in- juries tothe line of duty). The decisions in these two cases, as made by the preceding administration, were upon motions for re- consideration Overruled by Assistant Secre- tary Bussey. The case of Ammerman on March 25, 1889, and the case of Brockenshaw, on April 19, 1889, and thereby the definition of line of duty, as expressed in the existing rulings, was so broadened as to include acci- dental injuries incurred by the soldier with- out fault or provocation on his ow part, while in his proper place. This liberal and proper view of the relation sustained by ac- cidental injuries to the line of duty was further illustrated inthe decision rehdered Mays, 1889, in the case of Mary E. McNeill (widow), wherein the soldier, having re- elved in the service during a friendly wrestling bout) with a comrade the inquries which subsequently caused his death, was held to have been in the line of duty and Asststant Secretary Bussey, Overruling Assistant Séc- retary Hawkins’ adverse decision, admitted the widow’s claim upon the following con- Siderations: At appears from the statement of facts in this claim that the soldier received in the service the injuries, which it is claimed sub- sequently caused his death, while engaged in campina friendly wrestling match with a comrade. There does not appear to have been any malice or bad blood about the af- fair, and the injury to the soldier was evidently purely accidental. He was at the time in camp, where his duty as a soldier required him to be and in indulging ina harmless and innocent athletic sport, ofa friendly character, he was not violating any of the rules and regulations of the service, nor disobeying any command of his superior officers, nor conducting himself in an un- seemly or unsoldier-like manner, nor doing any other act calculated to disturb or to transgress military discipline. The Govern- ment placed both the soldier and the comrade with whom he was wrest- ling, in the position where it was both natural and proper tor them to indulge in such athletic sports or exercises with the consent of their commanding om cers, and I consider that it would be too nar- row and technicala view to hold that an injury resulting from such exercises as ap- pear in this case, was incurred out of the line of duty, and 18, therefore, not pension- able. „This striking illustration of the spirit by which the present Administration has been governed furnishes the key-note to various decisions that have been made the past year, having regard to certain disabilities in- curred in the service, but which had been held as outside the Ine of duty,and in pursuance of this ruling, many soldiers who had been denied pensions have been admitted to the pension roll by the present administration. The Assistant Secretary, representing the department in the interpretation ofthe pen- ; sion laws, has aimed to eliminate from de- partmental rulings the infliction of penalties for alleged offenses against the service, which the preceding administration sought to engraft upon the pension system and to use as a pretext for the rejection of claims of alleged offenders, although their appli- cations were based upon disabilities incurred in the line of duty. Accordingly Aug. 17, 1889, upon a motion for the reconsideration of the decision made in the case of Daniel B. Kaufman, Oct. 22, 1887 {Pension decisions, Vol. 3; 6,383), the ruling Which had been made ‘adverse’ to'the! claim- ant was set aside, and jee unlawfuf Order W Commissſoner of Renslony, 80 was rescinded. Temi) The said adverse decision and ine sald ‘Order 135,’ upon which the decision was based, w ere alike instances of ‘departmental legislation,’ in violation of the law, assum- ing to establish a precedent whereby the Department should become a tribunai for the trial of offenses and for the punishment of offenders in connection-with the adjudication of claims for invalid pensions. The penalties that may be inflicted for offenses against mil- itary discipline inthe service are hot within the discretion of this department. The Sec- retary of the Interior possesses the authority to im pose punishments for violations of the articles of war, and such punishments bear no relation to a claim for invalid pensions that may be granted for causes of disability due exciusively to the line of duty. Hence in contradiction to the ruling made by the preceding Administration, and re- affirmation of the immemorial practice of tbe Department, Assistant Secretary Bussey is a | penalty imposed by competent authority for | offense against the regulations of the ser- | | E vice, but has no relation to the claim or title to pension for alleged disabilities, and when said penalty is inflicted, the power of the , Government to punish for the alleged offense is exhausted in the instance named. A ‘dis- honorable discharge’ does not involve the ‘forfeiture of a soldier's pensionable rights, there being no law whereby such forfeiture can be enforced, and the depart- ment possesses no power to inflict such a penalty outside the express terms of the statute. Ihe ruling thus made by the present ad. ministration is not new, but is fundamental in its character. Following the precedents set by the department for nearly half a century, until interrepted by the illegal Order 135,’ it re-esta blishes the broad dis- panes tod Whigh must ever vall between ponat me and pensions, rts the W.

New York, Oct. 15.—The Western Deme- cratic campaign fund closed to-day witha grand total of $84,244.71. Of this amount $470.70 was contributed on the final day of the fund by 44 loyal Demoerats, enthusiastic in the cause of tariff reform. Some weeks ago the the WORLD an- nounced that to each of the ten clubs contributing the greatest amdunt to the Western Democratic campaign f by Oct. 15, it would present a handsome silk banner. sixty-one clubs took advantage of the offer. Many were really never in the race, but the mesjority sent in substantial ‘| sums that swelled the fund. Thé books show that the winners of the banners are: Tammany Cleveland and Stevenson Club, Tenth Assembly District,’ ‘$387.40; Columbia Democratic Club, Washington, D. C., 6188. 60; W. L. Scott Club; Erie, Pa., $105; Young Men's Dempcrati¢ iu of Burlington, vt. , 617; bemperatie Club. 6is Fifth avenue,$i0i; Young | Men's Democratic Club of Bennington, Vt.,$100; Harlen Democratic Club, $94.95; Tammany Club, Seventh Assembly District, $91.55; Cleveland and Stevenson Club of Radford, Va., 178.88; Democratic Club of Far Rock- away, L. I., $74.0. The runners up were: Comanche Club, Third Assembly District,$65.05 ; Twenty-fourth Ward Tammany Club of st. Louis, Mo., $55; T. McLellan Club of Pittsburg, $51.35, and the O. F. Club of Albany, N. Y., 880. It will thus be geen that four local clubs won prizes, Long Island, Washington, D. C.; Pennsylvania and Virginia each carried off one, while Vermont, which recently ren- dered such a good account of herselfat the polls, took two.

It is an open, honorable way of obtaining money for legitimate campaign expenses. Already the Democratic National Committee has adopted substantially the same course. We believe it will soon supersede the policy of levying assessments upon office-hoid- ers and candidates for office which tends to corruptioa and also to keep capable men who are not rich out of the public service. A portion of this fund has already been expended for the. distribution in the Western States of good Democratic literature ofa convincing sort.

At the close of the campaign of 1876 he found himself com- pelled to believe that Mr. Tilden was entitled to the electoral vote of Loulsiana, «nd it was only after the decision of the Electoral Com- missionand the Constitutional declaration by both Houses of Congress that Mr. Hayes had been elected President of the United states that he .reconciled himself | to thé assumption of that «reat office. In November, 1876, he declined to go to New Orleans to be present at the action of the Re- turning Board ofthat State when deciding upon the electoral vote of that State, be- cause he thought it was the Republican | party’s duty to accept the result as declared by the ballot boxes. He then stated that on the Republican sie were President Grant deeply interested in the result; Secretary Chandler of Michigan for the first time, and the speaker hoped the last, managing the Republican campaign from the | Cabinet; Secretary Cameron, with Gen, Sheridan in command of the, troops within the State, and Secretary’ Roveson with his gunboats in its waters, Mr. Kel- logg was Governor and a candidate for election to the Senate, and Mr. Packard was ntted States Marshal, seeking an election as Governor With a hostof special deputies at his command. In adiliticn to these powerful agencies on what the speaker called our side,“ almost ever) militia of- ficerinthe State was a Republican, and yet when the polls closed Mr. Tilden had over 7,000 votes more in the Dallot boxes than Mr. Hayes. In the following April when President Hayes, with others, requested him to zo to Louisiana to reconcile the political differences ‘existing there, he accepted the disaxzreer ble task because he knew the good work Gen.

Price, g White merchant of that town and a man Mell Known in Albany. Soon after supper last night Mr. Price was in his store, engaged in waiting on a negro cus- tomer, no other parties being present. Sud- denly the loud report of a shotgun rang out. Acioud of smoke flew inthe do>orand \r. heavily to tue floor, a pool of his own number of parties quickly gathered, but investigation showd Mr. Price to be dead.

Has Mr. Quay lost his old-time astuteness, or has he discovered that the boodle is not judi- ciously distributed? ——ů—— . —— MR. BLAINE’s friendly talk to Mr. Reid’s neighbors had very little of Blaine in it. There was a total lack of the vim, fire and earnestness which once charac- terized his every utterance. The fact is while Mr. Blaine is a Republican he has too much self-respect to be a Harrisonite. —_—_ = 1 — — MR. BULKELEY was bold enough to ap- pear in the New York Columbian proces- sion as the Governor of Connecticut. However, a good many New Yorkers may have wanted to see how a man looked after he had received the least numberof votes for so important an office as that of Gov- ernor of a great State. — v— — NOBODY knows better than Mr. Blaine that what prosperity we have enjoyed in 1892 is largely due to heavy crops which have found a market at low prices in Europe. But neither Mr. Blaine nor any other Republican orator is likely to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so late in the campaign. — 2 ̃ uU-!g!— SO THE final decision of Charles F. Joy to run for Congress in the Eleventh District will not effect the result of the election, but will merely make it not quite so pleas- ant as it otherwise would be, because it will keep Congressman O' Neill from get- ting a unanimous vote and will necessitate the political sacrifice of a good young man. MR. CARNEGIE telis a London reporter that the Homestead affair had avery de- pressing effect on his mind, but as it was all over now he had regained his bal- ance and was fresh and happy. This seems to indicate confidence in the con- viction of the traitors who rebelled against him. The world goes very well with King Carnegie. 0 MR. HALSTEAD should be cautious about calling distinguished Republicans cranks when they leave the corrupt organization which is trying to perpetuate high- tariff robbery. Insanity experts say that lunatics invariably look upon other people as cranks, and Mr. Halstead’s recent writ- ings indicate that his own intellectual ap- paratus 1s a littleshaky. — — 0. — — THE genial of the report that Judge Cooley intends to vote for Cleveland comes from an alleged letter of Judge Cooley’s son, by way of Minneapolis and through the Republican press, It is not so satisfy- ing as a word from Judge Cooley, who has ‘pen, ink, paper and mail facilities handy or who can get the ear of a reporter when- ever he pleases. — . — N THE Massachusetts Labor Commission- er's report shows that with 7-cent cotton and 70-cent wheat manufacturers in that State are flourishing in spite of McKinley- ism, A country so rich in natural re- sources, with a population more inventive and ingenious than any other in the world can survive even the most determined as- saults of stupidity and greed. — 2 — — JouN M. Brown, Bishop of the African Methodist Church and a representative negro, has issued an address to his people advising them to vote For Cleveland. The negro race, hesays, has nothing to hope from the Republican party. It should be remembered that the grand old party is absolutely dependent on the colored vote for power in the Northern States. — — — — IN his London Times article Mr. Carnegie admits that Maine granite is sold in Scot- land for less than Scotch granite, and that American. agricultural implements are driving out the home manufacture of Europe. He might have added that they are sold in Europe for less than in America and that his own Homestead product finds a market in India at lower prices than he charges home customers. But we cannot do without protection. That would have a bad effect in leaving the earnings of the people in their own pockets, and the people don’t know enough to spend their money properly. Tut Secular Union of Chicago is doing good work in favor of opening the gates of the World's Fair Sundays. One speaker, arguing against the proposal, maintained that the employes of the Fair ought to have rest one day in seven. It being sug- gested that more men might be employed, he replied that more men could not be found. This will be news to the thou- sands looking for employment and will be likely to cause additions tothe Chicago labor market. If the reason given is all that stands in the way of Sunday exhibi- tions, the other large cities in the country will agree to flood the Fair ground with surplus labor. — — 0. — — MURA?

It seems to be no more than a tactical move- ment for partisan advantage. In the first presidential election several States adopted what is now called the Michigan plan and maintained it for several years. In 1828 New Yorkjchose twenty Jackson and six- teén Adams electors. Attorney General Miller confesses that the practice was never questioned by the men who framed the constitution, although he now attacks it on constitutional grounds. Itis not likely that he will get much Satisfaction. The Michigan Supreme Court dismissed the case with something like contempt, and prob- ably the Federal Court will do the same. — — — — THE State Treasury and the conduct of the finances of the State have figured more largely than any other feature of govern- ment in the present heated State cam- paign. Itis, therefore, singularly fortu- nate for the Democrats that following the misfortune of the Noland trouble they have a State Treasurer to whose adminis- tration they can point with pride. With all the eagerness of the Republicans to find some point of criticism in the Demo- cratic State Government it is to the credit of Mr. Stephens that no flaws have been found in his conduct of his office. Appar- ently every provision of the law has been complied with by him, and the promise of a careful and ableadministration, which his previous financial work. gave, has been made good. If record counts the State Treasury willbe in good hands for the next four years. ——— — — THE Western Campaign Fund raised by the New York WORLD, aided by the St. Louis Posr-Disrparch and other newspa- pers, is closed with this issue. Thirty-four thousand dollars have been collected which will be used to provide political documents, pay the expenses of public meetings and help defray other expenses of an educational compaign. This has been a popular enterprise undertaken for the purpose of giving persons of small means an opportunity to contribute towards the redemption of communities which havelong been devoted to the cause of plutocracy and to restore real self-gov- ernment to the people. Those who have helped in the work may rest assured that their offerings have not been squandered in fruitless endeavor and will have the proud satisfaction of knowing that they have aided materially in a benefleient work. The Democratic gains which will no doubt appear in the agricultural States of the West and Northwest will be due in some measure at least to the generous self- sacrifice of the plain people who have given of their little in support of a popu- lar cause, 1 — — 1492—1892. The World's Fair, which will be form- ally dedicated this week, is designed to celebrate something more than the four hundredth anniversary of a geographical discovery. It will celebrate the emancipa- tion and consequent expansion of hu- manity itself made possible by the work of Christopher Columbus. Something more than physical obstacles lay in the way of the Genoan, His greatest task was to break down the prejudices of his time and persuade his sovereign that he was not altogether a madman. It is impossible for us at this time to realize the wonderful effect of the Colum- bian voyage upon the ideas of the time. It opened upa new world for the mind to explore. Confined for two thousand years within a narrow compass, speculation had become sterile and thought ossified. The intellectual world was at that time lying fallow. It can be said without exaggeration that Columbus’ guess was the source of more practical consequences than any other ever entertained by man. It led almost im- mediately to the hypothesis of Copernicus, and this at once introduced the idea of Law in the physical world. Science which before had been little more than a cata- logue of facts, became a body of law. Christopher Columbus is the intellectual This sort of thing does not prevail among of worth to say. All these so-called cranks. a plein that if. vote form 2 tc 5 Copulation: Newton, ng ly Spencer and Charles Darwin. But his-chief service to the race was the emancipation of the mind from fear and superstition. After his voyage men dared to think for themselves, which was but a preparation for independent action. The men of 1776 were provided by Columbus with plenty of elbow-room for their ideas. Democracy, is an accomplished fact in America largely because it was not brought into competition with antag- onistic ‘institutions in its earlier years. Europe gained much in material wealth from the new land, but her chief profit has been in the ideas which are the peculiar product of American soil. . * — 1 3 AN UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION. The refusal of Clark to yield to the de- mands of his fellow-candidates, the party leaders and the decent sentiment of the Democracy, by withdrawing from the Dem- ocratic city ticket has caused a situation unprecedented in local politics. It is doubtful if ever the effrontery of a candi- date whose record, method of nomination and unprincipled conduct afterwards ren- dered his nomination a monstrous blunder has impelled his own party committee to — 41 ‘ reauest his, withdrawal as @ aty step to save the party trom hu- uae and defeat. The committee has thus given public notice that it cannot stomach Clark. It remains to be seen if Clark will have the shameless impudence to defy it and run as a repudiated candidate, and if his master, Ed Butler, with his purpose exposed, will dare sacrifice the Democratic party and ticket in the interest of the Four Courts ring. i, , —_, — THE LUCAS SHIP. The Iowa Iron Works, which has under- taken to build the Lucas ship and offers to take a large amount of stock in the enter- prise, built torpedo boat No. 2 for the Gov- ernment and has been awarded the con- tract for another Government vessel, the William Windom, at $98,000. The faith of this company in the Lucas shipis supported by the opinions of the best naval experts, including its own superin- tendent, who was one of Ericsson’s most trusted advisers. It is encouraging to find such a firm manifesting in a practical way its faith in an experiment that promises such mo- mentous results to the land-locked indus- tries and commerce of our great valley. With many thousand miles of navigable rivers connecting us with the sea, the vast and varied products of our fields, forests, factories and mines have to go by rail thousands of miles, to be reshipped at the seacoast, with all the costs of land trans- portation, rehandling, loss and damage to goods, and the foreign goods re- ceived in exchange is subject to the same heavy tolls and taxes—the greater part of which would be saved to our peo- ple if they had vessels carrying their ex- ports and imports betweenjSt. Louis and all marts beyond the sea without breaking bulk and with cheap water transportation all the way. The invention which promises such a change in our favor should be tested at the risk of even five times the cost of this ex- perimental vessel, and we trust there is en- terprise and public spirit enough in this valley to provide ample means for making a thorough test of the Lucas river and ocean steamer. WHO IS AT FAULT? In yesterday’s Republic the Democratic nominee for Circuit Attorney very frankly told the public that he had been indicted, convicted and sentenced for embezzlement in the Court of Criminal Correction during one of Judge Noonan’s customary absences, when Judge Laughlin had taken Noonan’s place on the bench; but that as soon as Noonan returned he was accorded a new trial and a prompt dismissal of the case. This incident explains how awkward the situation would be for the Four Courts ring and the indictable officials of this city if the machinery of criminal jus- tice should pass into: the hands of men who were not themselves indictable and who had not been already trained to know who was to be protected in violations of law. The people of St. Louis have seen the nominations of both parties for Circuit Attorney made to suit the Four Courts ring, with the manifest purpose of keer- ing the administration of criminal law in this city just what ithas been for the last six years. Some of the most startling object lessons that were ever exhibited to the population of an American city have taught them just what that means. They have seen a local political boss who never held an office accumulate a fortune popularly estimated at $1,000,000 by manipulating his Republican and Demo- cratic tools in office at the Four Courts and at the City Hall. They have seen acquittal or dismissal the sure result of indicting a follower of that boss for murdering a policeman. They have seen another follower of that boss let off without prosecution when indicted for brutally beating a poor woman to death on a street corner in broad daylight in the presence of many witnesses and within a few steps of the boss’ office. They understand that the unknown fiend who cut the throat of young Josie Simmons the other day will be arrested and indicted jn vain if he belongs to any under the protection of sunshine of it. They have seen a man elected once a Circuit Attorney and twice as Judge of t Criminal Court Who was neither a natid nor a naturalized citizen, and whose crim. inally false registration as a native of Louisiana was held over his head by the ringsters who knew his secret to force him to obey their mandates on the bench until he committed suicide. Whose fault is it that a ring of Repub- licans and Democrats, with a rich boodle boss at its head, canrun our criminal courts in this way in the interest of crim- inals? Whose fault is it that, instead of being sent to the Penitentiary, the in- dicted tools of this boss can be chosen to make laws for honest voters or to control the machinery of criminal justice? Of the 100,000 citizens entitled to vote in St. Louis not more than 24,000 ever vote in a party primary, and not more than 60,000 inan election, The 40,000 who abdicate their rights in favor of the boodle bosses, and thus surrender the control of the city tothem, do seemingly thus attest their confidence in those bosses and ‘give their approval in advance to4ll that may be done. On this ground rests the claim that corruption in the courts and in civil offices représentedtainly ddugh the effective pub- lic sentiment of a community, and that any complaint of or attack upon such cor- ruption should be suppressed as an im- peachment of the entire population, We do not indorse this doctrine. We hold that if press and pulpit will keep up the crusade against political rottenness they can soon make it afraid to openly de- mand popular indorsement at the ballot- box under the banner of either party. ———- > e — ----— THE following lines were not written by Robert Browning hor by Walt Whitman, but are attributed to Lewis Morris, who ape to the laurel wreath: Terrible accident; Frightful explosion, sir; News, sir, from Germany; Latest from India; Special edition, sir, Only one half-penny!’* Thus the revolu le Assonant Echo.

Mr. Morris is 60 years of age. - — DEMOCRATIC newspapers should not poke fun at Chairman Carter because he was once a book agent. He had many honorable pred- ecessors, and the most that can be said against him is that he did not sustain the dignity ofa profession adorned by some of the greatest men that ever lived. For in- stance Napoleon Bonaparte when he was a poor lieutenant canvassed fora subscription book, and his outfit with a list of subscribers can be seen inthe Louvre. George Washing- ton sold Bydell's American Savage, Bis- marek in his student days peddled a military work, and Daniel Webster helped to circu- late De Tocqueville’s ideas for a commission. Other great men who have sold books are Mark Twain, Jay Gould and R. B. Hayes. It thus appears that Carter’s real fault was thut he broke into ancient and honorable company and falled to reap any moral profit from the association. — Goop people who weep over the woesof the urchins of Dotheboy’s Hall may dry their tears. The day when the British school- master warmed the denuded surface of the British schoolboy is long gone, and the Brit- ish schoolboy now has is innings. In the Britisn province of Ontario, recently, the boys of Miss Granger’s school assaulted their teacher, blackening her eyes, and leaving her in such a state of mind that she polsoned herself. In her hand was founda bit of pa peron which was written: ‘‘I am tired of trying toteach bad boys.’’ She had taught the schogl for three years, and when her bad boys rebelled she had appealed to their par- entsin vain. What this poor woman suf- fered with her unruly school no one can know. If the schoolma’ams of the world were to write their trials, or finda Dickens to tell their story, we should knowa good deal more of schoolboys than we have remem- bered of them. - = > A PERIPATETIC evangelist of African descent is in Chicago calling sinners to repentance.

It is possible, however, that a 2:20 roadster may be of great service to a minister who has many pastoralcalls to make.

The face of Daibutzu is the only one of of the idol tribe I have ever seen which 18 rather repulsive than otherwise. To me it 1 curlously attractive, and I can well believe the tradition which says that it resembles the face of Buddha, There is unmistakable dignity and power in it, mingled with a cer- tain pitying gentleness; but most of all there is an indescribable expression of that eternal calm which seems to brood over the re- ligions of Hindu origin and, indeed, over all the peoples to whom they belong. One is fe- minded of Matthew Arnoid’s lines: The brooding East with awe beheld Her impious younger worid. The Roman tempest swell’d and swell'd, And on her head was hurf'd. The East bow d low before the blast In patient, deep disdain: Bhe let the legions thunder past, And plunged in thought e¢ain, If I lived nearer Daibutzu- Buddha I should surely visit him very often. I would breathe in, if I could, some of the unchangeable and everlasting calm in that face, and so come into sympathy, if I could, with that wonder- ful faith which has existed for 2,500 and embraces to-day more than one-third the human race.

Two of them were men, the othera boy of about 16. men had been to a menagerie, and were talking and laughing vigorously about the monkeys they had seen there. The boy listened awhile in silence, and then spoke up in a solemn voice, which left no doubt that he meant what he said: „Look heah! Don’t you know you oughtna’t to talk that way about themp»monkeys?’’ What do you mean? What’s de matter wid you? Why shouldn’t we talk about them monkeys?’’ The boy replied, in the same solemn voice: Why, don’t you know them monkeys are old-time people? All the folks was just like them way back yonder.’’ This seemed to shutup the disrespectful darkeys; and as for me, I thought of Darwin, and wished he had been there to hear what 1 had heard.

If it is changed now, why is it not changed to the 24th of October, as the world is now twelve days in advance of the Gregorian Calendar? If the Gregorian Calendar necessitated the dropping of ten days, why would the date not be the 22d? In consldering this last question, however, the difference between the siderial and solar day comes under con- Slderation. Altogether the matter appears rather cloudy, and though there is plenty of literatureon the subject of .Pope Gregory’s reformation of the calender, the fact that he denied any shoving forward of dates is no- where alluded to. A CITIZEN’S VIEWS. A gentieman writing to this paper about the matter, says: When Columbus discoveted America the Julian Calendar was that followed. According to it America was discovered on Oct. 12. When Pope Gregory XIII., in the year 1582, reformed the calendar, he decreed the day follow- ing Oct. 4 should be Oct. 5 ustea I’llappoint Mr, Harris, Mr. Striever and Mr. Stroup.’’ A REMARKABLE STFP. There were no resignations thistimeanda motion was passed unanimously that the Committee should see Clark and report to a special meeting of the Central Committe, Monday evening, in order that his place on the ticket might be filled in time to have another name inserted legally.

One thing is certain, said, Chairman Lutz. 1e committee has done all that it could to set the party be- fore the people of the city in a proper light and our congselences will be clear as to the rest. With one exception, the dark episode is without a parallel in st. Louis politics. In the Democratic party it is quite without prec- edent. The party has never before been led into the nomination of a candidate with such a record that the Central Committee had to vote for his resignation afterwards, -— — A Problem in Dates for Chronologists to Solve.

ACCURACY OF THE TIME SELECTED FOR COLUMBUS DAY QUESTIONED. THE CHOIR BOYS. — They Must Work Harder and Later Than Stage Children. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PosT- DISPATCH. NEW YORK, Oct. —.—Nearly all the boy choirs of churches in this city have at least one evening rehearsal of one anda half or two hours’ length, besides three or four-day rehearsals. When the boys are practicing for special occasions, suchas Easter, Christ- mas and Thanksgiving, the work is more difficult and more time is spent upon it, some of the evening rehearsals last ing until 10 o’clock, sometimes until 10:30 and some of them have continued as late as 11:30. In view ofall that has been said and done about children on the stage it seems a bit in- consistent that the little choir boys should come in for no share of the attention. If it is injurioas fora boy 14 years old to be upon the stage for five minutes, under the care of a parent, and then sent to bed, why doesn’t the Gerry society consider it a duty to look into the matter of the 8 or 9-year-old .choir.. boy who sings stead- Oct. 21 Was Named on Senator Hill’s Calculations, But It Is Claimed by Authorities That if Oct. 12 Is Not Taken Oct. 23 or 24 Should Be—The Gregorian Calendar. 6 9 @ those delegates will say Mike n h Was a fool to get us into this scrape. >> - Ben Olatrk has done nothing.

Itisnota question of chargesagainst Mr. Clark. It is a fact that the newspapers of this city, and the business community have twelve days behind the new style, or Georgian Cal- endar, that of the Catholie Church. Reform the Columbus dates to conform to the Georgian Calen- dar, and we find the date should be the 23d or 24th ofthe month, but by no means the Zl1st. Both the local Congressmen, when queried about the matter, .expressed surprise that there shauld be any doubt about the matter. They were of the opinion that the change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar explained itall, Congress is responsible for the change and Senator Hill has given their reason. Is itthe right one? Does it explain matters. Let chronologists answer. ‘The public are yearning fora solution of the great Colum. bian puzzle. Senator David Bennett Hill, the renowned politician of the Empire State, may be an ex- pert on matters political, but there are some people whoare disposed to callhim down when he poses as a chronologist. His firstand only appearance in this latter roll occurred in July 8, 1892, when he introduced and spoke on his billto change the date of the dedication of the buildings of the World's Fair. It was at the urgent request ofthe city and State of New York, voiced by the great Senator, that Congress acceeded to putting forward the date from Oct. 12 to 21. The change was not made arbitrarily to suit the people of New York, but the Senator declared there was rhyme and reason for the change and thus the great Columbian chronological puzzle Was sprung upon the country. TWO SIDES UF A QUESTION. Blaine’s Appeal to Minister Egan Answered. Yorn, Oct. 15.—Judge Michael W. who succeeded Patrick Egan as National Leg@gue, said this of Mr. Blaine’s speech: ‘‘I have read with amazement Mr. Blaine's appeal to my friend, Mr. Egan, to intercede with the Irish people to vote for Mr. We Neither Adulterate Nor Compound. 8 ay p= 75 ũ—-U— — —ß —— [ ü—äœ—ä — ee a that he is not a fit man for the place.

There was some ques- tion raised at that time as to the propriety of that date. It seems to be now conceded that strictly spesking the date shou! be Oct. 21, according to our present calender. »ie 12th day of October was according to the old sytem. The Senator then went on to explain why New York was anxious that Chicago should follow the present calendar strictly, for the reason that the Levislature of that State had set aside Oct. 12 for their celebration, and had approprt- atea larvely for that purpose, and as the body had been dissolved a_ special session would have to be called to prevent a clash. Senators Cul- lom and Farwell both were willing that Chicago should do the thing properly, and agreed tothe bill which was according- ly passed. There can be no mistaking the fact that the change in the calendar, the Senator referred to, is that wrought by Pope Gregory XIII. As explained in this paper last Wednesday, Pope Gregory, fllding that the equinoxes did not happen alongatthe time set for them under the Jullan calendar proceeded to investigate the chronological Sys- tem invented by the great Jullus Cesar and found that under the scheme of that worthy the world lost exactly a day every 184 years. He called together the scientists of his court and the christian nh and setto work to straighten things out. POPE GREGORY'S CHANGE, He issued a decree that the days between Oct. 4and 15, 1582, should be dropped. B this scheme the ensuing vernal equinox fell on March 21, which was the proper time for it. Gregory’s system did not meet with im- mediate recognition and in tant countries centuries afterwards attempts to introduce it precipitated serious rioting. England did not take t up until 1751, and all dates had to be set forward eleven days. Now here comes the rub.

They nearly always get to the church too early to begin, too, so as to have a good time for play out- side, and in some instances the church is lo- cated in anything but a desirable play ground sofar as moral influences are con cerned, having plenty of saloons and other objectionable features in the nelghborhood. Grace Chapei on Fourteenth street near Third avenue, is so located. There they have a bout ten boys from9 to 14 years old, who rehearse every Tuesday and Saturday from 4to5p. m., and on Friday night from 7:20 to 10:30 o’clock, and then on Sunday they sing at services. The ay they receive is from 10 cents to 75 cents a service, and they ars fined for ab- sence. Of course they are receiving musical tuition free of charge. The younger boys are the most desirable as their voices last longer, and therefore all the choirs endeavor tu procure as many as possible quite young. One choirmaster was asked if he selected only those boys who had good voices. His reply was that he did not look for voice at all. He did not care ifthe boy had no more voice than a raven, but a good physique was most important, At the Church of the Annunciation, West Fourteenth street, are from sixteen to twenty boys who ages are from 9 to 15 years, and who rehearse four times a week. A part of them—the beginners—have day rehearsals lasting from one to to hours; the others are rehearsed evenings from 7:80 to 9 or 9:80, then one evening each week is devoted to the full choral rehearsal in the church and without the organ. ‘this 7 good practice, of course, but hard w ; n 8 these lar a month and ed ts | 85. and for absence ali the salary then due. {This church also has madrigai boys ‘‘to let“ for who practice four Haney & week. 3 8 st.

SUB-COMMITTEES ON LEGISLATION. ö 32 circular letter was signed by the full committee, and to be directed to the mem- bers elect of the Thirty-seventh General Assembly, embodying the recommendations of the State Teachers’ Association as to changesinthe school laws. These recom- mendations referred to the district school course of study, district and State institutes and amendmentsto the Teachers’ Institute law. It was agreed to appoint a sub- committee of five, with Supt. Wolfe as chairman, to draw up bills in accordance with the wishes of the association and the Chairman. The selection of the committee Was left to Supt. Wolfe, and he postponed the appointments to obtain time to maxe a good choice. The Legislative Committee was also instructed to request the Thirty- seventh General Assembly to authorize the appointment ofan Educational Commission from the various professions and occupa- tions. The Educatiohal Commission is an idea of Prof. Draper of New York. The committee will ask the General Assembly to establish by statute a body of men representative of the principal professions and pursuits, whose duty it will be to recommend such changes in the school laws as may seem ad- visable. It is thought that a commission such as this, in which the pedagogues will not predominate, will nfore clearly represent the opinions of the public. ‘ihe commissioners are to be paid for their investigations and labors. The committee received and concurred in the report of the sub-committee on teachers’ and pupils’ State reading circles. The committee recommended twelve books for the use of teachers belonging to the county and district institutes, graded ac- corning to the position of the teachers, and twenty-four books for pupils, suited to thelf years and their progress in the twelve years’ ourse. TO INAUGURATE READING CIRCLES. The report instructs county commiss!oners to call meetings of their teachers for Satur- day, Nov. 5, 1892, for the purpose of inaugurating reading circles. Ihe re- port also states that it is customary to arrange for examination of teach- ers in the books recommended, and read. Missouri’s Institute law is most favor- able to this because the board of institute instruciors is also the examining and licens- ing board. Ihe six books on pedagogy will be outlined in the corresponding years of the county and district institute courses of study thus linking together the reaving circle, the tnstitutes and the grant ing of cer titeates. President R. H. Jesse of the State Univer. sity at Columbus, was appointed to inaugu- rate and take W of University extension. . hite, A. J. Smith, Wenning W. Prentis, President of tne-the State Teachers’ Association ; E. J. Ha superintendent of Education, I. E.

Additional holiday aosociations, so called they meet during the holidays, were formed, for the south central por- tion of the State, With E. D. Lucky, Principal of the Adams School, this city, as President, and the other at Kirksville for the north cen- tral part of the State, with Prof. J. 7, Muir of the Kirksville Normal School as President. The noliday associations already established are the 1s. souri Valley, the Northeastern, the outh- western and the Southeastern. The Educa- tional committee was asked to consider artic- ulation and higher standards of admission to the State University ard Normal Schools, but they deciiied that this office belonged to the Rewents of the State Normal school and University. at 5 o’clock the committee — ey with all the duties assigned them hfully fulfilled. Gen. Merritt’s Report. \ YANKTON, S. D., Oct. 15.—Gen. Merritt, - commanding the Department of the Dakota, in fils annual report to the War Depart- ment states that the troops in the department are in exéellent’ state of discipline and well instructed. There is much complaint, however, among line officers, be- cause of a lack of goo:! material for non- commissioned officers. Many of the best men leave the army, the report says, after short service under recent regulations. Gen. Mer- rill renews his recommendation of last year thatthe pay of these men should be in- creased, as a matter of justice for the work required, and it now looksasthough it were ‘even more necessary, the General con- tinues, in order to keep up the tone of the army. Indian recruiting did not progress favorably so far as the foot companies are concerned. Resignation Refused. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.—Secretary of State Foster has received the resignation of United States Consul Johnson, located at Hamburg, but he refused to accept it. The resignation was brought about by reports printed abroad that he had from Hamburg for fear of the cholera, awhile the fact was that his departure was on of an injury reteived in an from which he suffered together with an attack dysentery, and was ordered by his phy- sictan to leave Hamburg.

There was a rather disastrous accident at the Democratic flag-raising at Rappahannock street and Gravois avenue last night at 8:15 ] o’clock. A part of the programme consisted of a display of fireworks. A number of rockets and Roman candles were set off and at intervals between these an occasional bomb was fired. One of these, which was lighted, instead of uscending in the air and with a deafening report in the very midst of the crowd of onlookers. The fireworks display was being given un- der direction of Charles Kreicheldt of No. 3128 California avenue, who had secured a per- mit to set off the fireworks during the Democratic rally. The explosion took place at 8:10 o’clock, and was caused by the sparks from a sky- -rocket, igniting the whole stock. The following 21 eople were injured: John J. Ganahl, 2906 Rappahannock street, 8 * leg hurt. hilip Bauer, 2801 Texas avenue, left arm slightly injured. Chris Marquar, 2842 Ohio avenue; right temple burnt. J.

Kreicheldt was placed under arrest by the police, but when it was learned that no one was dangerously hurt, he was released, after showing his permit. road; HERE AND THERE. Miss Margaret E. Williams‘of Baltimore, has recently receivedthe Peabody diploma granted to musical composers by the Peabody Institute, This is specially interesting in view of the fact that a number of wise men have recently devoted much time to articles intended to prove that women cannot com- pose good music. Miss Williams, we are told, has enjoyed the distinction of having one of her compositions performed at the first sym- phony concert given at the Paabody this sea - son. Her compositions cover a wide range from simple songs to double fugue for two choirs. Sonata, quartet and orchestra music is written by her,ewe are told, with equal ease and excellence. Mme. Moajeska has been roughing it’’ in adeserted hotel at San-Juan-by-the-sea, Cal. The place is not a fashionable resort, but it afforded opportunity for an excellent time during the past summer and Modjeska and her friends availed themselves of that opportunity to the fullest extent. Stout boots, flannel dresses and fore-and-aft caps were in order, and occasionally the mouot- ony of life was varied by attendance at a Cal- ifornia bull fight. At odd times Modjeska amused herself writing the article on the condition ofthe American stage, which is shortly to appear over her signature in the | Forum, Life in Maine is not all that it might be to an aspiring woman. As a political factor she has norecognition. She is not recognized as a person until the Sheriff or Tax Collector 18 after her. She has no legal control over her children after the age of infancy, unless they are illegitimate. A father can will away his children tothe care of a guardian, with the approval of a Judge of Probate. During good conduct a father may be the guardian of his children, though he marries as often as he pleases. A mother can only be the guardian of her children while she remains a widow. The Maine man can convert his property into cash, with which he can purchase timber- lanu and so leave his wifea pauper, for the Maine woman hasno right in uncultivated land. The servant girl problem has driven an English woman into the powerful clutch of The English law. A lady named De Launey, living in Montague place, Bloomsbury, de- cided that a boy would be able to do her housework better than a girl, and would cause much less trouble. She, therefore, en- gaged a lad aboet 16 years of age. In the course of a few days, Mrs. De Launey found herself obliged to appear as a defendant at the Bow Street Police Court. She had, as it turned out, unconsciously violated the ex- olse laws, which prohibit the employment of a male servant without the taking outof a license at a cost of 15s per annum, For this little error the magistrate demanded 30s of the lady’s good money. Every woman should be interested in the features of M. Worth, dictator of fashions. Mr. Worth is not beautiful, but he {is pictur- esque—and he knowsit. His own costumes are usually as effective in their way as those designed by him for his pet patrons. He wears a queer little capand a Roman toga flung gracefully over his broad shoulders. It willinterest women to know that he has set- tled, to his own satisfactlon, at least, the vexed question as to the length of the winter skirt. We have been told by fashion corre- spondents that skirts are to be short. Worth says decidedly that they are to be longer than any he bas yet made. Fashion,“ say the great man, has not yet decreed that you shall wear high-topped shoes, and until she does you must wear your skirts below your ankles. Well, then, do you not have to lift that skirt out of the dust or water just the same? A long dress is much more easily man- aged than ashort one. Voila!’’ This settles the matter, and Mr. Murphy, our Street Commis- siongr, may expect the same valuable assist - ance this winter from St. Louls women which he has enjoyed for the past two years. Now that Christmas is approaching it may be well to revive the good oid story about the Christmas gift which King Umberto of Italy, presented to Queen Marguerite. It appears that the King asked one of the Queen’s secre- taries what would be an acceptable gift for Her Majesty. The secretary had the courage to suggest thatthe Queen had a large number of unpaid milliners’ and dressmakers’ bills. The King took the hint and the bills. Christmas morning he placed the bills, re- ceipted, under the Queen’s table napkin, There was mo other gift. This is a touching tale.

Written for the . Posr-DrsrAron. Thousands or persons who own horses have ‘ttle or no knowledge of their common and most frequent ailments and disease. Still less do they know of the treatment of them. Aman usually Knows how to treat him- self for an ordinary cold, or cutor sprain of the limb—yet let his horse show the slightest symptoms of sickness or receive an in- jury and he is completely at sea as to the proper remedy to prescribe or how to administer or apply it. A horse, likea man, needsa little doctoring and a little medicine when he is cick, and as a rule the less he gets the ObDet- ter it is for him. About two- thirds of the ordinary ailments of a horse can be cured by the simplest treatment. When the disease is of a complicated nature it is not wise to attempt to assume the posi- tion of the veterinarfan. The chances are that the wrong remedy will be prescribed and the horse will either be permanently injured | or killed. Where there is any doubt as to the character of the disease with which the horse is afflicted it is better to call in a pro- fessional man or let nature take its course than run therisk of prescribing the wrong remedy. This being clearly understood, an attempt will be made in the following articles to fur- nish the readers of the SUNDAY Post-DIs- PATCH With a brief Geseription of the most common diseases of horses and the best known methods of treating them. Technical terms will be avoidedas faras possible—but as continued reference tothe external parts ofa horse will be necessary, the following cut of a horse, withthe c hief parts numbered and explained, is even at the outset. 7 Haunch.

BONE SPAVIN. A spavin is a bony tumor on the inner or lower part of the hock. They very rarely oc- cur on the outer side, and arise chiefly trom inflammation of the smaller bones located in that part ofthe hina ley. It affects the giiding joints of the hock and causes a stiff- ness in the movements of the leg. In many cases spavins are heriditary, though they are more frequently the result ofsprainsof the ligaments or concussion of the bones. Avery frequent cause is the al- teration of the direction of the leg, caused by high calkined shoes, which alter the relative position of the leg and cause shocks and con- cussions at every step. The best remedy is rest and the adminis- tration of light purgatives. In young horses a blister is effective in hastening the stiff. ness, which must inevitably follow. In bad cases surgical operations must be resorted to, though in old horses spavins become con- stitutiunaland are incurable, BOG SPAVIN, This is a distension of the chief synovial membrane of the hock joint. It is a tight movable swelling which is hot tothe touch and is accompanied with considerable pain the horse. In the accute form the lameness becomes very great and the fever high, throw!ing the horse out of condition and rendering him unfit for use. It sometimes ends in ulceration and stiffness of the joint, yet many of them are harmless. The best treatment is to give plenty of rest and where necessary throw the leg in a sling. When the inflammation 1s hot and tenijer fomentations should be used and cold water applications when it abates. rhe firing iron must be used in chronic cases. SPLINT. Asplintisa bony tumor on the front or hind legs, just above the pastern joint. It is caused by concussion, or may be hereditary, especially that arising from the shape and form of the leg. The concussion may be due to shoeing, overwork or speeding a horse when young. In slight cases itis besttostupall fast work. Some- times a poultice applied first and a blister afterwards will prove an effectual remedy. In severe cases it is necessary to cut around the bone. An ointment of the iodide of mer- cury will usually reduce the deposit. STRINGHALT. String haltisa pecullar spasmodic move- ment of the muscles of the legs usually the hind ones. It cannot bo entirely cured, but may be lessened by removing any sprain or other tendency to siiffmess. A mild laxative, regular dosesof broomides and mouerate work will also afford temporary relief. A curb isa sprain or injury of the straight ligament of the hock and is very apt to cause lameness. Whenit has been of long stand- ing, oris the result of some other disease, lameness rarely follows. The remedy is to oultice and wash witha solution of acetate ead. Apply wet cloths and rub with an ointment of mercury and iodine, CORNS Corns are bruises of the sole of the foot. They most frequently occur in the inside heelof the fore feet aud are the results of bad shoeing. They end sometimes by dis- charging pus, or the death of the part of the foot affected. To cure them remove the shoe and pare the of to relieve the pressure and give an outlet for the pus. Poultices may also be used to soften the sole. The shoes used should be light with a wide web. FOUNDER. Founder is inflammation: of the feet and may be caused by concussion as well as by disorders ofthe stomach from food or drink. It may be communicated to the feet by other diseases when the whole body be- comes affected and the disease is dreadful. In these cases the horse sheds not only his mane and tall but also his hoofs at times. In treating it remove the shoes and cover\ the floor of the stall with several inches of eat or aut straw. Apply poultices, chiefly cold bran over the entire toot. If the case is very severe bleed from the throat or toe. Give repeated small doses of aconite, about ten drops nitre or other salts for fevers. A vapor bath at times 1s very serviceable. When the inflammation is sublued make cold applications; Keep the heels low andthe toes short and use stout wide- webbed shoes. Canker is a constitutional disease of the feet and usually accompanies horses of a gross constitution, who have thick, heavy, round lers and large feet. ‘The disease begins in the frog as a general rule, but it may appear at some other part of the lantar surface. It looks like rease of the leg and there is an abundant ischarze of fetid, colorless matter from the frog. This 18 covered with a substance of a spongy and stringy nature, mixed witb an ‘offensive smelling matter resembling cheese, The feet of horses predisposed to canker have a nauseating smell like that of sulpuur- eted hydrogen.

The first and most important remedy is shoes with high calkins. To discover the sprain exam- ine the back sinews when the heel is raised. Feel them gently to discover if one place 1s more tender than another. If this fails pinch them hard and 11 sprained the horse will flinch. A diseased tendon is very sensitive. When the sprain is located, cut the hair short and keeothe part con- stantly damp with bandages. Do not blister or fire. It win take from two to six months to effect o complete cure. WINDGALLS. These are soft swellings of the fetlock joints, containing, not wind, but the oil of the joints. They vary in size from a small marble toa walnut. The best way to cure them is toapply bandages of flannel or wash leather with an equable pressure. The bandages should be soaked in a lotion compound of three-quarter ounce of sulphate of zinc, one ounce of acetate of lead and one quart of water. Give the animal rest and an occasional good hand rubbing on the affected parts. IN SECRET SESSION. Steve Elkins and His Henchmen in Con- ference. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Oct. 15.—Steve El- kins, Wm. Phillips ofthe tate of Washing: * a Republican National Committeeman; . B. White, Internal Revenue Collector or — est Virginia, and nearly every Republican boss in the State met last Saturday night and held secret sessions at Grafton until late Sunday night. The heelers and manipula- tors and chairmen of every wager greene District in West Virginia were also there That some desperate scheme was on foot soon became known, but the facts have only leaked out within the past day or two. It was learned that money was to be Gumped into west Virginia to carry every Senatorial and Delegate district, the work to com- mence immediately. his part of the pro- gramme was made for the Senatoria! aspira- tions of Elkins. In addition to this it was determineg to colonize thousands cf hegroes in this State, and that part of the work of debauchery had already begun and oualy neededa little more money to enable the Republican managers to complete their schedule. The negroes are to be shipped into the State overthe Norfoik & Western Kallroad and by the Northwestern Coal (o. Already over 1,500 negroas have been sent into the — « of McDowel!, Logan, Lincoln, Mercer, Wyoming and other counties especially in the Southern. The correspondent has learned authoritatively that over 1,000 negroes from Virginia are sent to McDowell County already. In ad- dition to this the scheemers had on hand another plot more nefarious, if possibie, than the above. To explain more fully, it will be necessary only to say that Hon. H. J. Snively, Democratic candidate for Governor of the State of Washington, was formerly a citizen of Grafton, this State, where before he went west he was in business and failed, His failure was attributed to dull times and lack of demand for goods, but not a word implying dishonesty was ever uttered or expressed against Snively, who was wellknown and respected all over that country, but tHe plotters have arranged a dirty scheme which, if not exposed, may injure Snively’s chances in Washington. They had heelers out in Grafton and over the county hunting up people to sign affidavits and make depositions against snively, im- puting diszhonestyto him while in business there. Noattention was paid to the latter, but everything that could possibly be gotten by money and promises was se- cured, and they even went so far that some. of the heelers themselves became dis- gusted and objected, but they were over- ruled by the remark that it would have to go. Anyway, Snively would not have an opportunity to refute or disprove the stories as they were not to be circulated untli on the day of the election. These affidivits and depositions of alleged dishonesty were viven to Mr. Philips of the State of Washington, who wili take them back with him and have them printed and circulated ell over the state just on the eve of tlie elec- tion in that State, when their victim would not have time or opportunity to disprove them. The plot is diabolical, and if itis not exposed it may greatly injure not only snively, but the entire Democratic ticket in Washington. there is not the Siightest truthin any of the stories of dis- honesty, andthe whole plot was concocted for the purpose only of hurting Sniviley’s chances for election, WILSON CONFESSES. Frank Wilson Confesses to Have Stolen the Farson’s Horse. ; OZARK, Mo., Oct. 15.—Three weeks agoa horse and buggy belonging to Rev. I. D, Lamb was stolen at a Baptist Church, four miles east of ‘Ozark. Since that time the minister and his brethren have been searching the country from Springfield to the Arkansas border in quest of the thief and stolen property. Several persons were arrested on sus- picion, but soon discharged for lack of evidence. Frank Wilson, a member of the Baptist Church and one of the converts whom Parson Lamb had ptized near the place where his horse wag stolen, left tiie neighborhood mysteriously the night of the theft. He came to church and sat on the door-step while Parson Lamb prayed before beginning his sermon. Instead of going into the house with the other tardy worsltipers, Wilson | claimed to be sick and said he was going home. That wasthe last time he was seen till a few days ago, when he came to Ozark from Polk County, his former home. He had returned, ne said, to see brother Lamb and clear up the suspicion the disappearance of the horse and buggy. Wilson has been arrested and on the charge of stealing the horse and buggy. He denied the charge and was discharged from custody. Last night Wilson and family started to Polk County ip a Wagon and camped four miles north of this piace. Here he was rearrested onthe same charge and at once confessed to the crime. He had traded the stolen property toa man who took the horse and busgy to Arkansas. Wilson is about 28 years old and Delongsto a very respectabie family. Red Hair. In Henry Bebel’s ‘‘Collection of Proverbs,’’ published in 1512, occurs the following: Proud are the short; untrustworthy the red haired.’’ A French proverb 500 years. old says: Salute a red-headed woman or bearded man at thirty feet off with three stones in thy fists to defend thee If need be.“ In early times all pictures of Judas were shown with shocks of red hair. This and the fact that the Judas in the Miracle Plays“ was provided with a red hirsute worked the superstitious people of the Middle Ages up to such a degree that it was actually unsafe for a red-haired person to appear in company. Writers of all Classes began to denounce ‘‘the senseless prejudice against those of lively colored hair. Cyrano de Bergerac, in his States and Empires of the Sun,“ said: „A brave bead, covered with red hair, is nothing else but the sun in the midst of nis rays, yet Many speak il of it because few have the honor to be 80.

Written for the SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH. The invention of embossed letters has been a boon to the unfortunate bind. Until recent years no effort was made to educate the blind; it being the popular opinion in tome countries that it could not be done, and in others that they were not worthy of it. Matters of his- torical interest relating to the improvement and advancement of the blind are em- braced almost entirely within the history of the last two orthree generations. Although we find occasional references to educated blind people in olden times, they were isolated cases or persons who had ac- nogra phic n his Influence was introdu eral schools, but it never lar and was soon ‘ discarded. ollowing — in oa footsteps of Mr. Lucas comes Mr. Frere of London. He pre- sented a system for 8 printing built upon. the general plan of his phonetic sys- tem for the seeing. Frere was first to introduce the return lines, The first line was read from the right to the left and the next line from the left to the right At the end ofeach line was a curve guiding the finger down from one line to the Oy he Braille system of point print was in- troduced bv Louis Braille, a blind teacher in the school at Paris. He was not the inventer of the point system, however.

The statement that the blind of some of the western coast countries of South America were the first to habitually read recorded history seems strange at first thought, but when we consider the method of recording history in those countries a few hundred years ago, it is not strange at all. When the Spaniards took possession of Peru they found boxes of woolen’ strings of vari- as it is termed, contained twelve The cell, six each The letiers points, in two rows of : heing six dots long, the fingers could not cover them all at a single touch. No practical use was ever made of his system, but it save ſthe talented blind man the idea upon « hich he founded the system that bears his name. He cut the Barbier cell in two, and made the letters three points long instead of six. Brallle’s system has a peculiar advantage over other point systems; line systems are ABCVETLIJKIMASRR S TVVW XYZ Gall’s System. ous colors, sizes and lengths. On the long strings short ones were tied, on all knots of Qifferent kinds and sizes were made. The color ofthe strings, the sizes, the number and the distance of the knots, all meant some- thing, and to these capable of interpreting t! nem were clear, concise historical records. The system was called the Quipps. Blind persons handling these strings were able to read them quite as intelligently as persons with sight, the difference in color being the chief drawback, but the sensation imparted obsolete, in that it can be used for music and literary work with equal success. rhe New York point is another point sys- tem, a moaification of the Braille. ‘he chief value of the New York isthe fact that it oc- cupfes less space than the Braille. How- ever, in music it takes three characters to represent the name of the note, its value and its position, represented by only two, It is probable thata new point“ system will be devised in which will be employed „e ce NCL W Lucas System. to the Angers by the harsh and soft dyes was often a safe guide, as it to the blind girls of to-day who knit or crochet in several colors without the aid of persons with = sight. The blind of Chili and Peru were not treated with the same indifference which characterized their treatment in other countries at the sametime. Many systems of record have been invented for the blind. The early work in embossed printing, though rude and unsatisfactory in many re pects, was necessary that a certain the best characters of the Braille and New York point. The various systems of record now In use are too numerous for the bene.it of the bling and it is imperative that some system sha be devised which will become universal.

Sculptor, Linguist, Beauty, All in One; And How She Works! Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. New York, Oct. 12.—As there are a million and more persons in the city of New York and only fifty-two weeks in a year, it can be readily seen by avery simple mathematical calculation that a very small percentage of persons can really cialm to have been ‘‘the sensation of the week. Lottie Collins was the sensation of the week in which she made her first bow toa New York audience, and Dave Martin probably de- serves the same honor forthe week follow- ing. The young woman who canclaim the coveted title for the week just ended is Kuhne Beveridge, the scuip- tress. she is like Dave Martin, be- cause her prominence has been gained through politics and she is unlike Miss Col- Iins because the lady who sings Ta-ra-ra- boom- de · ay owes her success to hard work, while Miss Beveridge has a touch of what ts indiscriminately Known as zenſus. Some- body said that hard work was genius and what follows about Miss Beverluge will not altogether disprove the theory. The value of the work of this young woman, like those of every other professional! person, is open to discussion. It Is, however, good enourh for the two most impor tant and best public just now— Grover Cleveland and James Corbett. Both of these gentieman have given a number of hours to the young sculptress. It only remains to say something of the personal characteristics of this striking young woman. The writer, who called on the sculptress recently found Miss Beveridge in her studio. The walls of the little room were literally papered with photographs of the various people wuom Miss Beveridge has used tor models. They re present pretty much all ot the professions. Doctors, politicians, actors, literary people was modeling, and Miss Beveridge nosooner began making clay balis and pyramids than she found herself taking an entireiy new in- terest inher work andlife generally. Her first really artistic effort wasa model of an ear ofcorn. History does not state thatthe effort was a complete success, From the ear of corn she made a rather ambitious jump to the head of Demosthenes. It was this work which first attracted the attention of her teacher and her mother, and wich, to their minds, assured her ultimate success. De- mosthenes was very good in its way, but Miss Beveridge wanted something a Httle more up to date, so for her next effort she chose the young "actor, Henry Niller. The model was, unfortunately, not in San Fran- cisco at the time, and ail the §&culptress had to work from was a few photographs of Miller in the costume of Henry V. The pic- tures did very well for the face and upper parts of the actor’s body, but gave no idea of his legs. Miss Beveridge at that time knew nothing of anatomy and was at a com- plete loss As to who she should use as a model for Miller's legs. One evening, while in the room, she was seized with an inspiration and at once hegan to make innumerable sketches of her own underpinnings. From these shetches she worked all the next day in her studio and as a result the Miller statue was finished with complete success, After nenrly two years in the Scheol, she entered the studio Smidt, who is generaWy recognized best of the sculptors on the Paeine ‘Coast, While here she did a bust of Adolph Sutro, the exhibition of which at the Mechanics’ Polytechnic of Robert Fvir in San Francisco really formed the basis | of her reputation. About this time Mme. San Francisco, and, being sculptor herself, took a keen interest in the work of the young artist. She sat twice for Miss Beveridge.

Miss Beveridge sat in a low chair by the side of her mother and told quite simply how she became a squlptor. The pictures give a very fair iden of how the young woman looks, but not of her re- markable coloring and the beauty of her Titian red mate. tight-fitting black dres with a broad, turned- down white linen ¢: Har and white cuffs. If she had looked a littie more sad and aged she would have been an ideal heroine for the last act of an English melodrama just before the husband unexpectedly returns alter his supposed death on the flel of honor. Miss Beveridge was born seventeen years ako in the Governor’s mansion, in Spring- field. III. Her mother was the wife ofa son of Gov. Heverldge, which accounts for the She wore a highly aristocratic and political scene of Miss | | space of time, and her work on the Cleveland Beveridige’s firstappearance in this or any other country. The first four years of her life she showed no particular taste for model- ling, exceptacertain penchant for the con- struction of mud ples, which is a Hiking shared by all small children, At the end ot this period she said good-by to Springfeld and mud pies, and with her sister Kay, who was then a baby, was taken by her mother to Dresden. Here she lived for the year anu succeeded in learning “ good deal about art and the different languages. Although she dwelt in the same house in which the famous sculptor Schulter lived, and spent much of her time in his studio, she showed no dispasition to take up hisart. In- cidentally, however, she learned to play the violin very well, and it was fondly belleved by her mother that her daughter would some day gain ame as a great musician, Three years ago she returned to this coun- try and went at once to san Francisco. She had been so long abroad that she had com- pletely forgotten her native tongue, and was compelled to begin her education all over againinthe lowest grade of the grammar school. It was during this yearthat Miss Beveridge showed the first signs of that Spirit of hustle which has been s0 instrumental in her ‘success ever since, soon “as she had thoroughly mastered the English language she Studied her American school- books with such avidity that in just one year from ber en- trance to the grammar-schovl she graduated with honor.

Instead, we took on boara well cured deer skins, which I cut, during ve voyage, to the exact shape wanted, Then when woe reached A wy we hired the Eskimo women to sew the skins, which they do with great skill. I had an under garment, a sort of divided skirt, made of deer skins, with the fur inside. This I wore bet ween my usual underwear an my dress, instead of extra skirts. Above the waist I had a hooded blouse of fur which I put on to go out in. Inever Knew what it was to suffer from cold throughout the journey. A GREAT MISFORTUNE, Were you not very much discouraged at the time Lieut. Peary broke his leg and it was thought the expedition would have to be abandoned?“ „Of course that was a great misfortune, but not so disheartening as you might think. We had all possible confidence in our sur- geon and where else could my husband have had the entire time ofa skilful physician at his disposal, as he had on board of the Rite and after landing at McCormick Bay. Then there was no delay aswe knew thatno exploring party could start till after winter was over, so there was plenty of time for the fracture to knit. After theaccident the other members of the ex- pedition tried to get me to use my influence to persuade my husband to turn back, but this I steadily refused to do. A large some of ménhey had been spent in\fit- ting out the parly, and to have turned back then would have meant abandoning thé projéct for many years. I agreed with my husband that it WAS best to push on, and nursed him till he was able to limp about, while he Cirected the expedition as carefully and enthusiastically as if he had never heard Of broken bones.

Very true and very pretty, but when women have children would it not be wise | for them to see what they can do in the cir- cumstances thus imposed upon them? and would not this be better, perbaps, than to step down into the arena with the ‘brutal wil be seen that each one of the dafnty that has found its place in The “Pri ncess nmatred and who died a suicide; | the * reading | guage; | of Deuteronomy, iy howe tuo man who stood trous fire here to-nicit eight bullamgs were | 8 was secured tue sure foyncatiog, 0 sex’ and do battle with them?“ In the achievements of those mothers who have exercised this sweet privilege and have sent sons intothe worid whose deeds have made them famous is the answer to be found. When Tennyson wrote The Princess’’ he exercised the: privilege of every true poet and preached a sermon while he told the story. Weall know the story, but the ser- mon is net so familiar. Why should the poet have interjected the exqulsſte bits such us ‘*Home they brought her warrior dead, 4s thro’ the land, etc., into a poem that deals, apparently, with the quest! on ot the nighér education of women? The reason is obvious. Examine the poet’s work carefully and it lyrics deals with some phase of, the. Tove of a mother for her child, And so the weaning of the poem is, afterall: ‘‘Womandde first apd foremost a mother , and not all the learnin of classic halls can ever divorce her fro this, ber patural sphere.’’ What a formidable array, Ths dans: w ha, admit that to the training” “tn equipment received from their mothers the¥ owe their wonderful success; Washington, Greely, Ruskin and Euler- Hugo, George Goethe, Schiller, Carlyle, son, John Wesley and Victor Herbert and Cowper, St. Augustine, Cowley and Curran and Napoleon. Each ons of these great men has left in evicenee the fact that the maternal influence was the strongest in the formation of the Individual who after- wards stood forth pre-eminent among his contemporaries. No idle dreamers they—not men noted merely as well-bred and polished, but names that have shaven empires, overturned relle lous creeds, and stimulated in thought the best men of the times in which they flour- Ishel. ‘There are cases, to be sure, in which the iather assumed the role of mentor; but these great names stand outas conspicuous patterns of paternal training—Nannibal, who was broughtto the altar at the age of nine and made toswear the oath of Hfelong Horace, the who wrote what we should now call society verse, and Jotin Stuart Mill, who found world so hollow at the age of thirty- five, aiter boving been under his father’s care all his te, that he could get na rellet froma settied melancholy except dn music.

L {ttlo did that noble southern matron, the mother of Georve Washington, engro3sed with the care of her rising family, imagine that among the group gathered around the fireside was one who would so honor her teaching as to cause her name to be rever- ently spoken by a grateful nation and by an admirin: world.

The family circle is described as. possessing these characteristics. order, regularity oc- cupation, sympathy,cheerfulness and unity. ° The innocent games and diversions of child- hood were not interdicted, but with char- acteristic good sense and unvarying kindness the mother secured the love and reverence as well as the prompt obedience of her chil- dren, and implanted in their young hearts herown uncompromising love of truth and unswerving integrity. George, the eidest son and counselor of his mother, early felt the stirring of military ambition, and when a little more than 14 years of age a midshipman’s commission in the E nglish navy was procure for him. But the maternal advice and authority interposed and prevented what would doubtless have. provad an irreparable loss to his country. That this solicitude was not selfish was proved by the fact thatshe permitted him to engage in his favorite pursuit, engineering which deprived her of assistance and society. Years rolled by, and the heavy responsi- bilities which had pressed upon Urs. Wash- ington grew lighter. The oldest daughter was married and settled in her own home; George was at Mount Vernon, and the three remaining children no longer re- guired her ceaseless cars.

Very truly yours, FRANKLIN MACY BAGH. Is He a Fool or Being Fooled? From the Buffalo Courier. In 1890, just before the Demoeratiq tidal wave struck his bill, Mr. McKinley tasberted in a public address that ‘‘this whole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty. Fear ing thatthe people will this year take the same view of McKinleyism which th en tertained two years ago, Mr. McKiniey 1s bobbing up in this State and that withthe pretense that his bill was intended to make things cheap and has nad that result. Has Mr. McKinley deceived himself, or is he de- liberately attempting to deceive others? Shirking the Question. | 2 From the New York Times.

Since President Harrison has pro- claimed an embargo against the hides and coffee of Venezuela the Venezuelans send these products to neighboring ports, whence they come into the Uaited States free of duty. In this way the export trade of Vene- zuela suffers little embarrassment from a. fo@ish embargo, while the people of the United States are subjected to no duties on the hides and coffee shipped from that country. : 3 12 . + - tie ae” = 8 — 8 a 8 1 1 cnt Os 8 * are 23 8 we - * Vin * * + P 85 2 é mA +e mye 4 . a Rt 5 2 N K in » : Sila : . ed S .

ELEVENTH DISTRICT REPUBLICANS GET OUT OF AN EMBARRASSING POSITION, After Three Positive Refusals to Run, the Republican Nominee Consults, Reconsiders and Accepts—Democratic Central Committee Reorganizes—Gov. McKinley’s Flying Missouri Trip. After three positive refusals to make the race for Congress in the Eleventh District on the Republican ticket, Charles F. Joy decided last evening to take the nomination given him over his protest at Social Turner Hall Friday afternoon. Upto alate houryesterday afternoon Mr. Joy told all comers that hecould not and would not run and convinced all callers that his answer was final. Let he changed his mind very suddenly, as people have done before in matters political as well as otherwise, A strong pressure was brought to bear on him from many quarters and he finally decided that he could withstand it no longer. Then he said he would accept the nomination and relieve the Congressional Committee from another search for a candidate. It developed after Mr. Joy gave his con- gent that if he _ persistea in his refusal to run the Congressional committee would carry out the Filley pro- grammee and endorse Follett, choice of the Peoples’ party leaders in the district. One of the hardest workers in the move- ment to have Mr. Joy run was George D. Reynolds, the United States Dts- trict Attorney. He, «+ © claimed, wlll see that National #Committeeman Kerens raises the sinews forthe prosecution of the campaign against O'Neill. Mr. Joy, when seen last even- ing, said that he had accepted the nomination reluctantly, but that he would make a canvass nevertheless, even though his private business had to suffer. THE NOMINER. Mr. Joy is about 48 years of age and a native of Illinois. He came here when quite young and has been practicing law ever since. When the Elks Club and Lodge were formed he wasamongthe most prominent promoters of both. He made the race for Congress against O’Nelll two years ago and was defeated by 2,000 majority. In that race he labored under disadvantages, as the party was left in bad shape by the withdrawal of Frank P. Sterrett, who was named first for the place. When Congressman O'Neill was told last night that Joy had decided to run, he said: Well, lam satisfied. Iliketohave a good man to run against, anyhow. I guess we can make a canvass up there without getting into quarrels. The district is a big one and the pe ople will patiently Usten to both sides McKinley’s Flying Trip Through Missouri. Maj. Willlam McKinley, the author of the celebrated tariff bill which bears his name, has completed his programme for a stump- ing tour through Missouri. He will leave Chicago next Sunday evening, Oct. 23, in company with R. ©. Kerens, the National Republican Committeeman for Missourt, on board the special Pullman palace car ‘‘Gladys.’’ They-willtravel over the Burlington to Macon, Mo., where Maj. McKinley will speak the day following, From Macon Ohto's Governor will go to Brookfield, Chillicothe, Cameron, Lathrop and will deliver speeches at each of these places from the platform of the special train. He willthen go to Kansas City and speak there, thence to Leavenworth, Kan. On the morning of Oct. 25 the flying special will make a stopat Warrensburg, where a short speech will be made. Brief stops will also be made at Sedalia, Tipton, Chamois, Hermann and Washington on the line of the Missouri Pacific, The same night the train will reach this city and Gov. Mckinley will at once proceed to Music Hall where he is billed for a speech, This will be one of the fastest trips ever made by a campaign speaker. Gov. McKinley ex- pects to do all this work in forty-eight hours, ‘she speeches, aside from those in St. Louis and Kansas ‘City, will be very brief. The train between stopping points will run at its highest speed. Democratic City Committee Reorganizes.

Lowe, veston News, and Hon. of the Gaiveston-Dallas News Pubtish- ing Co., for years past recog: nized as the two leading Democratic organs of the State of Texas until the Hogg- Clark difficulty came into existence, arrived in St. Louis last night from Dallas and for over three hours were in consultation at the Southern Hotel with a rest dent of St. Louis, and by the wa a Republican, in regard to the situation in Texas. As a St. Louis newspaper has shown an inclination to support Clark for the elec- tion of Governor of Texas, and as-Messrs, Lowe and Below have bolted the ticket, the object of their visit to St. Louis is toascertain what support they may ex- pect from the Republican press of Missourt in their advocacy ot Clark for Governor. The conference adjourned shortly before 11 o’clock, but what was accomplished planned Is not known, for none of the interested parties would discuss the result of the conference or state its object. It is known, however, that the gentlemen from Texas were more than pleased with their visit to st. Louis, and before the No- vember election, the result of the conference held last night will be plainly visible. Noonan’s Future Plans. Mayor Noonan returned yesterday from Aiton, where he went to attend a Democratic rally. In speaking of his future plans he said he would accept the nomination for the Mayoralty in the spring if it were tendered to him in the propermanner. He did not want to be a Congressman, as Washington life on a Congressman’s salary was not de- Sirable, He wished to remain in politics and would always take an active part in them. If he retired to the practice of his profession he would possibly look in the future to the nomination by his party for one of the judgeships. Although he took no part in framing the present local ticket, he said he was a good Democrat and would both sup- port and vote for it on election day, and that he considered it a good ticket. He had enough money to live comfortably on, even though relieved irom politics, and he did not crave riches. Chairman Taubeneck Absent.

The Methodists Throughout the United States Will Recognize the Event and Take Up Collections for Their National Colleges—Ceremonies in the Roman Catholic Churehes—No Fast Friday. This is Columbus Sunday and in almost all the churches of the city there will be special services to-day in honor of the great naviga- tor who touched American shores 400 years ago. The sermons will have Columbus as their exordium, a multitude of dedications, reflections and anecdotes in the argumenta- eave portion, and perhaps a lesson for the future in the peroration. The great majority of Protestant churches will make Columbus the central figure in to- day’s exercises in response tothe request of the Executive Committee of the national cel- ebration of Columbus Day, appointed by the superintendents of education in convention at Brooklyn last February. This committee, of which Francis Bellamy is Chairman, has made no distinction of creeds and has sug. gested that not only the proper services of the day give recognition of Divine Frov- idence which has so marvelously led, and abundantly blessed, this people; but also that the sermons of the day, in view of the national celebration of the following Friday, give special emphasis to the educa- tional idea which has with such wisdom been made the center of all the local celebrations. Our syscem of free and common education is the master force which, under God, has been filling the American people with their ideas ot equality, justice and liberty. It seems to be, moreover, the institution upon which America must depend for the proper traln- ing in good citizenship of the com ing generations, While unchecked waves of un-American sentiment are spreading themselves over our country, the common school alone has a sure command of Wot Enough Attention Paid to the Ma- terial Selected for the General Assem- bly of the State—Importance of Elect: ing Democrats for the Next Session, Which Chooses a Senator. — will have to be in by the 22d nst.

BOFINGER’S WILL All the legislative nominations have been made thus far with the single exception of the Second Representative District, where the Democrats have thus far failed to put up a ticket, and the prospects are that they will not, asthe district is too strongly Re- publican. This district takes in the Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Twenty-first and Twenty- third Wards, and is entitled to three mem- Ders. a a Taken all in all the nominations for the seats in the General Assembly are by no means what they should be. For years this city has suffered, so far as the State law- making power goes, on account of the men who are sent to the capital to represent it. It is true that good men are selected at times, but the other class is invariably in the majority, and the country members judge them all by the conduct and acts of the unfavorable majority. The voters as a general thing do not pay much attention to the legislative nomina- tions, as the other offices and the candidates seeking them absorb most of their considera- tion. This is assigned as the reason why the city does not send up the same class of men that the country constituencies select. The nominees of both parties for the three Senatorial and fifteen Representative seats to be filled at the approaching election „ Are as follows: 2 Folding Beds, the largest variety in the city, all prices, from $6.85 upward.

McGinnis, the Republican senatorial nomineein the Twenty-ninth Dis- trict, has been in the State Senate for the past sixteen years. He is an attorney and during his long connection witn the Legislature he has given particular attention to the in- terests of the brewers. Charles F. Bechtold, the Democratic can- diaate in tne Twenty-ninth has long been identified with union labor organizations. He is now the secretary of Bier Brauer Of jewelry. All the rest of her effects, such as books, clothes, etc., excepting paintings, she gives to Miriam C. Stuyvesant, to divide among the above-named legatees as she and her uncle may think fit, excepting the dia - mond ring which the testatrix had always worn, which she wishes her husband to wear. All the rest of herestate she leaves to her husband John N, Bofinger, whom she makes executor without bond and desires that he give $5,000 to Samuel Stillwell, and $5,000 to the Episcopal Orphans’ Home of St. Louis to be used as a perpetual fund, tne interest alone to be used. It she and her husband die together, or if her husband dies before he can administer on the estate she provides that David R. Powell be executor and orders that the bequests to Augusta Shewell Beach, George §&, Shewell, May B. and Helene Shewell, Ida P. Shewell, Miriam C. Stuyvesant, Bettie B. Brown, the Episcopal Orphans’ Samuel Stillwell remain in force, and the re- mainder of the estate be divided into two equal parts, one part to go to the heirs of John N. Bofinger, and the other part to her heirs. She gives to Bettie B. Brown the house in Khich she lives, 3522 Pine street, and to Augusta Shewell Beach she eives the house in which she lives, 3527 Lindell avenue. The will is dated May 27, 1889, and was exe- cuted at New York. A codicll, dated July 11, 1891, states that since the making of the will the testator has taken out insurance on she orders to be divided equally at her death, between her nieces, Helene Shewell and May B. Shewell, and, in the event of the death of one or both of them, the money to go to their brother, George S. Shewell. Another codicil, dated June 2, 1892, states that her brother, George S. Shewell, having dled, she wills that whatever he has been bequeathed in her will shall go to his children, and she also orders that her life insurance shall go to the St. Louis Trust Co., in trust, for the benefit of her brother’s children, May B., Helene and George Shewell. Other Wills Probated. Elizabeth Schiller, in her will, admitted to Home and the future; its education in intelligent patriotism, its training in the duties of citi- zenship, are forces which can be trusted to Americanize the huge armies of alien imm. gration. The ministers of America have been invariably the friends of education. it is, therefore, with a degree of confidence that American educators turn to the churches and respectfully solicit their co-operation in impressing upon the people America’s de- pendence upon the system of public enlight- enment.’’ To-day-has also, by the action of the Gen- eral Conference ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church, been set apart to be observed in all Methodist Episcopal Churches in the interest of the American University. The General Conference requests ‘‘all our pastors to take subscriptions or collections for this cause, and that the offerings of our people be for this one object as our Columbian Memorial. In all the Methodist Churches of the city, therefore, the Columbian services will be emphasized. The founding of a natlona university at Washington, D. C., by the Methodist Episcopal Church has been matur- ing for a long time in the brain of Bishop Hurst of that denomination. Hehas assumed the enormous task of raising $10,000,000 from the Methodists of this country, and Mrs. John A. Logan has promised to ob- tain $1,000,000 fromthe American Methodist women. The institution isto be for post- graduate students, and Washington has been chosen asthe site in order to place at the service of the university the priceless yov- ernment museums and libraries collected there. The Roman Catholic University was located at Washington, D. C., partly for this reason, and when the Methodist University is completed these two great denom- inational institutions for advanced learning will be of mutual help. To-day will therefore be a memorable occasion in the history of the Methodist churches of the United States. in all the Roman Catholic churches of the country there will be to-day a solemn high mass of thanksgiving for the infinite benefits conferred upon the world by the discovery of America. Pope Leo XIII. ordered that these services be heideltheron Oct. 12 or to-day in a proclammation issued by him July 16, 1892. In the same letter the Pope ple of always doing some- thing out of the ordinary. We are leaders. Visit our MAMMOTH STORES.

Mr. Robinson will sing What Satolli Is Here For. Archbishop Satoll!, the papal delegate, dis- patched to this country to settle all disputes and to apply healing balm to old sores, called on Secretary of State Foster yesterday and made known his mission. The Archbishop arrived onthe steamer Majestic on the 12th inst., and he will be present at the dedica- tion ofthe World's Fair buildings in Chicago next Friday, as the representative of the Pope. f Apropos of his visit to this country, a dis- tinguished Roman ecclesiastic says in a re- cent letter from Rome: Though his mis- sion or missions are a secret | think that the Holy Father determined to send him to America on account of the decision of the Propaganda inthe Faribault and Stillwater school question not being accepted dy some, as it was the intention ofthe 1 See. Only a few days ago a pamphlet in Italian has appeared in Rome against Archbishop Ireland and his school system with the title, La Questione scholastica degli Stati Uniti e la Decijione della Propaganda,’’ ‘*The School question of the United States and the decis- ion of the Propaganaa.’’ This pamphlet of unknown origin is evidently inspired 9 the enemies of the great Archbishop of the West. It is written passionately and in bad faith and has caused great pain to the heart of tné good Pope, who has a special love and affec- tion for the Archbishop of Sst. Paul. It shows a division between the mem- bers of the American Hlerarchy which would prove fatal, if the intervention of au- thority of the Holy See was not quick and eficacious. Therefore Leo XIII, who has a special love and esteem for the sclence and prudence of Mons. Francis Satolli, thought it well to send him to the United States, that he might consult the public opinion of the Cath- olics of that country,and make then an accur- ate report on the matter to the Holy Father. Mons. Satolli will probably remain absent Young Men’s Christian, Association, will de- liver a special address to young men at the Central Branch to-day, at 4:30 p. m. Rev. J. F.

I believe about three hundred delegates were present, and we are prepared to show that at least nine-tenths of that number came to the convention on railroad passes furnished to them througn Republican influence. The leading men of the move- ment, including the chairman ot their state Committee, boldly announces that they are roing to support the Republlean ticket. I do not believe the 70,000 Democratic voters of Kansas will. be influenced by these kind of Democrats. I lhad some doubtsthree months ago, when the Democratic Convention in- dorsed the People’s party State ticket, ‘whether that action would be accepted by the Democracy ofthe State, but thereis no longer any question about it. The Repubil- can party in Kansas will be completely over- thrown by the combined opposition.’’ Re ports received at the Kepublican State headquarters are thatin many parts of the State the town Democrats intend to votea mixed ticket, and on the strength of this in- formation a majority of the Damocratic vote is being claimed by the Republicans. The country Democrats will vote straight for fusion. It is this division which makes the situation unpleasant for both the Democratic and Republican Central Committees. The Republican committee hardly knows what to do with ex-Senator Ingalls, and only afew appointments for him have been made. inthis State. It is an oper secret that Re- publican politicians from interior counties have requested the State Central Committee not tosend ingalis to their vicinity because of the alleged dissatisfaction among Dñemo- crats with vig fusion ticket.

Ail have been purely agricultural meetings, as they might be called, on account of the large number ol farmers who have been in attendance. This is a most encouraging sign, as it indl- cates that the farmers of Iowa are studying political questions with a desire to fully comprehend them, and the clear, concise and thorough presentation of the issues they hear fr4m Gov.

Republicans at ths State Capital Hope- lessiy Divided—Blaine Men Ready to Get Even for Minneapolis - A Decreased Vote Likely in the Counties—A Gloomy Situation. ALBANY, N. V., Oct, 15.~The political sky offers no rainbow of promise to the Kepub- licans of this district, for perhaps in no other county in the State havethe jealousy of fac- tional leaders brought about such hopeless disruption in the party organisation. There isa shallow pretense of placation and har- mony, but it has farnished no additional en- couragement and developed no increased enthusiasm. Not since the death of Boss Smyth have the Republicans here felt the confidence which the knowledge of superior leadership inspires, Since 1878 the party has suffered the disastrous and ofttimes hum ating effects of desperate in- triguing for personal advantage on the part of would-be leaders, Few new aspirants for boss-ship have appeared since the Gar- field election, but the old jealousies which were originally the outgrowth of thefight for the prestige of command possessed by Smyth, have become more and more bitter with succeeding fights and defeats. The struggle for controlin the presidential cam- paign on the Republican side beganearly in June, when the new County Committee met toorganize. On one side were aligned the Federal Office-holders, who were mak ing a desperate fight to secure a Harrison delegation to Minneapolis, On the other, under the banner of Blaine, were rallied the practical chaps like ‘‘Jimmy’’ Bentley and ‘‘Billy’’ Barnes. Although no cutlery was exhibited at this meeting, it is no secret that harsh words were exchanged and fists closed and shoved in faces. The fight resulted in a deadlock, and al- though its renewal was postponed by agree- ment until August, the two factions devoted their energies to the national delegates. The Harrison men found themselvesin a minority and a solid Blaine delegation was sent to Minneapolis. The Bentley-Barnes element was jubilant and its opponents were correspondingly dejected. While the Blaine men were campaigning at the convention in the interest of the Maine Statesman, the officeholders were working at home, strengthening thelr lines ing the county committee. The Blaine men returned fromthe Northwest disgusted and defiant, Harrison’s nomination was anything but agreeable and the memory of the President’s refusal to acknowledge in substantial form the work they did In 1888 made them uncom- promising in their hatred. Naturally the renomination of Harrison had a tendency to encourage desertions from the zlalne camp, and Bentley and Barnes real- ized: that the Harrison officeholders would be successful in the fight for the control of the county committee. But the bitterness of their dis- appointment did not lead them to abandon the contest and whenthe fight was renewed andthe Harrison people elected their ticket there was a sharp exchange of opinions and threats. ' Asa result of all this wrangling the Repub- licans find themselves in adilemma which is, to say the least, disheartening. The ward leaders have learned that a canvass man- uvered by inexperienced managers means inevitable humiliation. The Bentley-Barnes people are workers, men with long vears of familiarity with the ins and outs of local campaigning. While they are supporting Harrison they make no secret of being disgruntied. Bentley in the capacity of a counselor, rather than in that of a distributor of boodle presents an in- tensely humorous Spectacle. Bentley is not of that stripe of politicians who conjure up votes and majorities in clgar smoke and see success over the rim of a wine glass. He knows the voters andis familiar with effec- tive methods of reaching those enrolled in the doubtfal Column. ‘*Billy’’ Barnes, too, is no neophyte in the art of political manipulation. Associated with them are men of genius for political work. With leaders like these removed from the active political manarement of the local campaign it may be expected that there will be a decided difference in the total vote cast forthe electoral ticketin 1888 and that in 1892, The effect of the Harrisonian regime on the vote in Albany County Is illustrated in the majority of 4,227 returned for Flower for Governor in 1891, Cleveland in 1888 carried the district by 1,675. The difference is not wholly attributed to the fact that the full vote is never brought out except in presi- dential elections. Republican disaffection fora great part undoubtedly explains Gov, Flow- er’s plurality. Harrison appointed as post- master of Albany James W. Warner, a pros- perous manufacturer, who had never taken conspicuous interest in local politics. He was practically unknown to the Republican voters. As Collector the President selected ex-Congressman Balley, a strong partisan, who had no exalted appreciation of the obli- gations of the civil service law. Mr. Warner from the first was indisposed to a¢cept the recommendation of the Republican ieaders in the matter of removals and ad- ministered a shock to them that made their hair stand on end. He politely but firmly informed them that he had made a reputation as a busines man and manufacturer. and that he proposed to con- duct his office on the same principles he had followed in his big industry onthe hill. Col lector Bailey was appealed to by the leaders to use his influence with the postmaster, but Mr. Warner was firmin his resolution. An attempt was made as a last resort to take advantage of his inexperience in politics, and the task of bringing about the decapita- tion of post-office employes was intrusted to a faithful henchman named Hickey. Hickey was the active spiritina uingue organization known as the“ Albany Kepublican Eniploy- ment Bureau,“ which had tor its object the turnishing of jobs in the Federal bullding to faithful workers. Hickey’s halr grew gray in devising ways and means of ousting Democratic officials. He was on the alert for mistakes on their part which might induce the flint-hearted postmaster to order their dismissal. He forgot his own faith, how- ever, and he was decapitated. Naturally these circumstances were not calculated to inspire enthusiasm in the Republican ranks. Since 1891 the conditions have changed only for the worse and there is absolutely nothing on which could be founded any statement that the Democratic majority given Mr. Cleveland in 1888 will be reduced. Onthe other hand there is abundant evi- dence that the Democratic electoral ticket will receive not less than 2,500 plurality in this county. It is possible that this figure will be exceeded, but a conservative author ity furnishes this as a safe estimate. Mayor Manning, the Democratic State committee- mau from this district, and the virtual head of the organization now that Mr. Herrick has retired, has almost a perfect organiza- tion in the it is modelied on the laid down by lis distinguished father. Every leader ts held responsib.e for the effectiveness of the canvass in his individual district. There has been, and is yet, an Opposition tothe regular organization, put it need not be taken luto serious account in speculating onthe resu.t in the country, The Repub- licans have attempted to widen the breach vy dividing the United States Election In- spectors between the regular organization and the opposition, but no advantage can possibly accruetothe Republicans as a re- sult of this recognition of the minority. “GENERAL APATHY. APPARENT IN EMPIRE 8TaTR POLITICS. _ JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Oct. 15.--A visit to this section, which is strongly Republican, show 9 1 NO ENTRHUStrAsx | which costs large sums. active, but the people are | inclined to even talk politics. Of course, this indifference is far more hrrmful te the Re- publicans than to the Democrats. It isin these rural counties that the Republicans must get thelr big vote to offset New York and King’s County, When it ts considered that a decrease of only three per cent in the Harrison vote from 1988 will de- feat him, the effect of this a h the country cannot but cause the Re ns great alarm. They say: Well, the Demo. crats are apathetictoo.’’ That , but the Democrats can afford to be apathetic in the country. Their majorities are in the cities and their vote is more easily gotten out. The bitter fight against ex Senator Vedder, that mowed down the tremendous Repub- lican majorities in Cataraugas and Chautauqua last fall, has left sore feelings in both counties. ‘The men who were against Vedder and won were for Blaine. They have no love for Harrison and will not work for him, \ They will not _ bolt him, but they keep their coats on. From the way the Republicans talk here in Chau. tauqua County, the bitterest fight will be made in this county against Harrison of any county in the State. Things are in a little better shape in Oataranugus County. There are no signs that Cleveland is a more pop- ular here than he was in 1888. The party is, however, more united, and its 8 works better. The Hill men are in line, whic means that the vote will be brought out if it can. John Wylie of Buffalo has put up some deal with disaffected Repub- licans whereby there will be a great loss to the Republicans. While there is a general indifference to the canvass 5 2 both counties, the Republicans generally manage in a Presidential year to poll more votes than in other years, Even with the tide running toward Cleveland, the Democrats can hardly do more than cut down the Republican majority in the two counties. Cataraugus gave Harrison in 1888, 2,413 majority and Chautauqua gave him 59.300. This year Republicans claim 2,200 and 5,800 respectively and the Democrats allow 2,000 and 54,000. Both sides admit that there will bea falling off unless a change comes. Hops are master of the situation in Otsego County. When that section produces a big part of any staple the people are led to think considerable of the product. That is one rea- son why the politicians out here say the farmers have been too wf to think about litics. If the crop is disposed of before November the campaign may take on some of the old-time snap and the vote may get out. Thus far the in- terest has centered on bread and butter business, so far as the people are concerned, But party managers have not been idle in this section, even though the voting interest lagwed. Each side has paid strict attention to getting the registration lists ready. The Republicans use the Post-officeas a lever to pry out the rural voter, while tlie Democrats use the enumeration Usts and talk guardedly to their nelghbors. Each side has had lots of trouble to educate the timid farmers up to the secret, ballot, for the average booth looks too suggestive of the county jail to be attractive and some of the mossbacks actually seem to fear that there is something dangerous inside. Democrats think that there is apd thatthe danger is to the Harrison plurality in 1888. The county went Republican by 857 that year, and if it goes by 600 thistime the result will surprise thinking men of both parties. Still, the strong men of the Harrison faith talk of a possible ain, one seems to now it is coming from. f own here under the present conditions would be great luck for the party,’’ iswhat one Republican says of the probability. In addition tothe granger vote there isa large vote in Oenenta. The Delaware & Hudson road has its shops here and many of its conductors and other employes live in the village. Possibly 1,100 voters, all told, are under railroad influence. Among these in- telligent men the Democrats have begun to ask tha troublesome question, How about your wages?’’ It knocks out the tariff argument every time,’’ said one enthusiastic young mission- ary. If we can get the labor organizations to thinking about Mr. Reid we can get most of the members. These men are sure to vote while the farmers are ‘‘only Iikely to’’ unless they are offered very strong inducements. In this county, at least, the g. o. p. isin har- mony with itself. its managers have nom- inated Assemblyman Walter L. Brown, who has both the personal and financial standing to geta majority. In addition he has the backing of the wealthy Wilburs’, who for years have been prominent figures in Otsego County polities. Brown is popular and wauld be happy but for the ghost of the notorious ‘*drafted men’s bill’’ which stands in his pathway. He voted for the bill it became a law and now the Otsego Coy 6 contingent of past pa triots are clamoring for their money. To pay theirclaims would about ‘‘break’’ the county and yet they instist that Assemblyman Brown must either join in thelr petition to the County Board or meet with their oppo- sition. Brown is thinking about it. His Democratic opponent, Dr. Parish, is also thinking, and hopes to profit by the situation. In the county such local issues are always felt by the presidential vote, and there are others this fall that are likely to bear down hard on the Kepublican plurality. On the Democratic side thare is alack of backbone in the managers. Everybody knows Mr. Bunn of Cooperstown, who is the Cleveland leader in charge of the canvass in this section, and everybody wants to know what he is doing inthe latter days of anxiety. Thus far they say he has not appeared in the campaign, and his representative tn the County Committee is better at the drug bust ness than at practical politics. The Hill fol- lowing here are about as deflant as anywhere in the State, and anybody in the village could name a number of them who are openly an- nouncing their intention to bolt the party nominee. Only a few days azo a bad break! was made by the Democrats in „turning down’’ Lawyer Gibbs, an able man of the Hill side, who was ambitious to be among the first in the party councils. ur. Bunn is charged with countenancing this, although the work was done by County Judge Nelson. Mr. Gibbs had taken part in the pre- liminary campaign work and expected to be a leader this fall. Now he is letting other people do the work he had laid out and his friends scowl whenever thé incident is men- tioned, It is expected that there will be several red hot campaign speeches made by prominent orators inthe country before the campaign closes. The Republicans will put a big dose of tariff ginger in the free treat they give the people, in the hope of warming their hearts against a chill in November, Then if the roads are good teams will be worth owning when the bids for bringing the voters are made. Increased cost of living and no gain in wages form the basisefthe Democratic ap- peol tothe voters mow. It is apparent that here, as elsewhere, the people are uneasy and would liketotrya change if they saw the way clear to get it. Their talk is all turn- ing to how they can best secure a fair chance to square himself with the business world, and in this section each party is wondering why the other did not Rar an aggressive campaign sooner with a view to satislying the grangers. aoe politicians are pretty well agreed now as to the basis on which one party will lose or the other gain hereabouts inthe coming election. With all the enthu- — lacking, they will be forced to pay eavily in order to get the results which an active. campaign naturally brings. Give the — 1 the barrel of 88 vintage again and they can at least hold their own. Let s Democratic managers be heavily supplied with resources“ and the floatin r will certainly decide that tari reform Will save the country. This appears to be the average situation in the rural dis tricts even more than in the cities, and it Will make the result mighty unceftain. Just now these held responsibie for the outcome in Otsego County are wondering whether the State Committees will heed the urgent ap- peals made for supplies, It Will take a mint of money to go around, for the local contrt- butions are not going to be heavy, and until the probable size of the election purse is known little can be safely predicted as to the result. — —— — OUT OF FUNDS.

Eminent Deimo- crats, who gave in 1884 and 1888, have de- clined to respond tothe call of Harrity and Dickinson for funds.

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS _ — — Democrats Rejoicing Over Gains in the Republican Stronghold DISSATISFIED® MINERS AND DISCON- TENTED SOLDIERS FOR ALTGELD. Republican Managers Hope That the Tide Will Turn Before Election Day Comes Round—The People's Party Does Not Expectto Make Much of a Showing This Year. SPRINGFIELD, Oct. 15.—Having forthe past four weeks followed in the wake of county fairs, soldiers’ reunions and political demon- strations, [ have gathered accurate political information concerning the Illinois cam- paign. Everywhere throughout Southern lilinois there isto be found a falling off in the Republican ranks. This condition of affairs promises the elec- tion of Judge Altgeld to the gubernatorial chair, and possibly the casting of the elec- toral vote of Illinois for Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson. When it is remembered that, in its political geography, the State is divided into two sections, the north, Demo- oratic, the south, Republican, the logic of this conclusion is evident. A prominent Republican and a friend of mine whose name the obligation of a per- sonal conversation requires me to withhold, stated candidly to me the other day at Mur- physboro, that the outlook for the Governor in Southern Illinois is exceedingly dark. Our leaders, said he, have depended much upon the lack of familiarity of the peo- ple with the Australian ballot system to pro- duce a straight ballot. Such, however, will not be the case. ‘There will be more scratch- ing of tickets this year than ever before. This is particularly true ot the Southern section of the State, where Fifer will suffer.’’ „What element in the party is going to do this scratching, and do you know the reason sf el. en. yes, It is the German and German American element, These people, to a large and harmful extent, are going to vote for Altgeld, because he is a fellow-countryman and has made promises. In the next place, a large number of these people, in their re- ligious belief, are allied with the Lutheran Church, and you fellows have so bamboozied and frightened them on the school question that a great many have stampeted “But to counterbalance we ard ‘making * oa 2 8 . pa 3 * ms 4 7 ’ . 5 Sen! 9 44 * wi n 2 * N ee ¥ 1 17 * 7 2 ph .

It is more than likely that this element, be- cause of the occurrences referred to, will join hands with the German Republicans and German Lutherans. During the past week I was fortunate enough to hold brief bat entertaining and profitable conversations, with Senators Fal- mer and Mills when at Belleville. Tus latter informed me that from the she had received there were no reasons for not reck- oning Illinois among the States that would cast Democratic majorities in November. He hoped the people of the Eighteenth Con- ressional district would return his friend ill Fcrman. Gen. Palmer referred to a rumor, which some time ago gained credence in cértain quarters ofthe State, tothe effectthat he was inclined to sulk and not overdesirous for the success of Judge Altgeld, because of the latter’s attitude towards him in the contest forthe presidential nomination. With a view of axing up matters a delegation of the Judge’s friends waited upon the Sena- tor. They were informed it the most unmis- takable language possible that there was noth ing to fx. Il am an earnest Democrat,’’said he, „and tor Illinois; Judge Altgeld is also an earnest Democrat and also for Illinois; how then can I de otherwise than eafnestly for Judge Altgeld?““ This po- sition he took pains to lrapress upon the peo- ple of Belleville. : At Nashville l asked George W. Wickline, Secretary of the Peopie’s party Executive Committee: Wnat is your opinion in regard to the ro- sult of the campaign tn the State?’’ „Well, if the existing conditions vail on election day, said he, it is lief that Illinois will cast her votes in the electoral col- lege for Harrison and Reid, but will select Altgeld to discharge tho duties executive.’’ | There is still another factor at work in the fightagainst Fifer, and one of which I bave seeh no mention made ir the press. driv- ing them from the appointive offices in the State, the Governor has incu the enmit of a large number of his old soldier supporters, and asu result of this action they are much tncensediagainst him. I met one of thess at . Centralia. He said: ‘‘Fifer has continued to force the old soldiers Hut of office, until as a matter of fact, you cannot find an old swidier filling a si prominent appointive office in the State.” in regard to the Congressional! results in the Eighteenth District, Forman’s lection may be regarded as certain. His will be much larger than that of four y ago. In that contest he delea Hon. Jehu Baker by 17 votes, with everything against him.

N FO * The People’s Party Advocated Govern- ment Control of Railways—Wealth, He Says, Does Not Bring Happiness—How the Californian Will Dispose of His Many Millions—The Palo Alto School Parts, Oct. 15.—Leland Stanford, a Cali- fornian iger, millionaire, Governor, Sena- tor, philanthropist, worn out by the rush and toil of American life, has been bathing at Aix and resting quietly in Swiss valleys all thissummer. He is in Paris fora few days on his way to America. The Senator’s mil- lions did not protect him from the grip two yearsago,and his hearing and locomotion have been impaired ever since. Before that he was as strong as his robust frame, when in repose, seems to be now. He has had all sorts of baths and treatment at Aix, hot, cold, steam, Turkish, Russian, and then, for atime, none at all. His hearing is not im- proved, but he walks better. Still, he shuffles his feet slowly and likes his man’s assistance on entering a carrlage. The doctor assures him that his locomotion will gradually come back, but he is 68 years old, he says, and places no great faith in robust health any more. He wants enough to enable him to judiciously spend his money before he dies. Senator Stanford is a guest at the Hotel Bristol in a quiet corner of the Place Vendome. The Senator, after dinner, was wiping his spectacles as he sat in a wide arm chair by the window and gazed out upon the big cir- cle of lights which surround the place, and the little circle which twinkles around the black base of the Napoleon column, his heavy melodious voice greeted your repre- sentative. His face, even with its short gray beard, heavy hanging eyebrows, and full of sternness and determination, is yet kindly, and grayish-blue eyes watch with a keen in- terest that enlivens the listener the effect of what he says. The man is strong in speech, in natural physique, words slip easily from his tongue, not flowery; but like the man’s appearance, plain and practical. Oh, he’s a never-failing fountain,“ said Mrs. Stanford, as she listened with attentive interest to his talk. Senator Stanford’s life interest has settled in the University of Palo Aalto, Cal., which he built to the memory of his only son. Its Lick observatory has be- * famous for possessing the most power- ul telescope in the world. The Californian expressed satisfaction at the scientific dis- closures which had been. possible by such an instrument. **Don’t you think, Senator,’’ he was asked, ‘*that in return for your expenditures a proper compliment would be paid in naming Prof. Barnard's new moon of Jupiter after you?’’ No, that moon is too far off to be as every day practicalasIlike to be. I should much prefer to be remembered by my fellow- men as one who spent his wealth wisely for the benefit of others and set an example that other men of means may be induced to follow jt. Tothe supp of this university all the tanford millions will eventually go. The emands keepa pace with the work,’’ he aid, but Iam glad of it.

I have been impressed thi the fact that of all young men who come o me with letters of introduction from riends inthe East, the most helpless class re college young men. They come from hose whom I would like to oblige. They are generally prepossessing in appearance and of good stock, but when they seek em- ployment and I ask them what they can do all they can say is ‘anything.’ They have no definite technical knowledge of anything. They have no specific aim, no definite purpose. It it to overcome that con- dition, to give education which shall not have that result which I hope will be the aim of this University. Its equipment and fac- ulty desire that it shall be second to none in the world. Its capacity to give a practical, not a theoretical, education ought to be, ac- cordingly, foremost. The buildings were first erected in the fields, sodormitories were necessary. I did not expect more than 200 or 500 pupils at first, although accommodations were made for twice that number. Last year there were 535 students, and this of fall there will be 700. These, I hope, will be tted for active life. [have the greatest aith in the possibilities ofhumanity.

Ido not know what I am worth; few very rich men do. nvestments vary so much in value, accord- g to market conditions. The bulk of my property is invested fn the Southern Pacific Railroad. Rallroads become paying investments only as business de- velops. Fixed charges remain substantially the same for seven years. The rallroad has been operated without paying dividenas, but it has earned $10,000,000 above expenses, which has gone into improvements to its ultimate financial benefit. The stock now is worth 87 to 38 cents, but I expect to see it with ‘ @Gividends go to par within three years, This will accrueto the endowment of the University. Money isthe master tool ofall. it is the hoe, the spade, the pencil, the steam ne. one t has no value‘except in its use.

By his own estimate it will be trebi in three years. He has made it all,. and his life is approaching the end of its activity. He was asked the question: Does wealth give happiness?“ ‘ No,“ he said with promptness, shaking his head slowly. Happiness after the ordi- nary comforts of life are possessed does not belong to any post, rank, or condition, Great wealth involves immense care. It is care that kills. It is ‘care’ that puts oneinmy condition. If wealth is intelligently used, there may come a certain happiness from its bestowal.’’ Then why this inéessant rush after wealth?’’ Bread and butter is tne first essential of life; that is, the first necessary stimulus to labor, Then, men work hard that they may fruits of labor. With our standards of living and the products of civilization a little does not satisfy as a sufficient surplus. The natives of Panama who can count butten will labor hard to reach that goal of acquire- ment. But that accomplishment satisfies. Why are successful Americans seldom satis- filed unless increasing wealth already great?’’ **Activity has become a habit. They are accustomed toliving faster than anywhere e.se inthe world. Many men, too, are not yet educated to enjoy anything but the strug- gle itself. That education though will come in time,’’ The millionaire was asked if he recalled any event which had proved the turning point or fleod-tide of his fortune. ‘*When he got married, remarked Mrs. Stanford. The husband smiled in approval as he gently patted the shoulder of his wife, who sat near him. es, that’s really so, he continued, **but there is another one, or rather a sort of combination of events. My fatherin a little town north of Milwaukee built turnpikes and executed contracts of that kind. He wasa rugged man who impressed upon his boys fundamental principles to which bring suc- cess. I had studied law and had the best law library in the town. It all burned up one night. As I had five brothers in California 1 concluded I would go too to the Pacific Coast. „What would be your advice to a young man starting out in life as means of suceess?” ‘*First, be industrious; second, have a settled plan; third, be everlastingly persist- ent in both. These applied to fair ability will win,for all legitimate business is profitable in the end. There is one class of men only who die rich. They are those who always save something out of whatthey earn. Thereisa laborer in my employ who has followed these principles for thirty-three years on $40 a month and board, He had $6,000to commence with. He ts still at work and worth over $200,000. Most men who have the ability to save die rich. Not many die rich who make great sums of money fast. They may make ninety-nine successful specu- lations, but the hundredth one, when the rick is in proportion to their daring and their wealth, they loseitall.

AN OPERATIC DRAMA. Two St. Louisans Figureina Sensational Scene in New York. New YOrRE, Oct. 15,.—A young man with a Vandyke beard caused quite a sensation in the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday. He had the dreamy air of a poet When he was in re- pose. This was not often, ashetore around from one clerk to another in a state of high excitement. He was Maurice Arnold, the musical composer, formerly of St. Louis, where he is well known in musical circles. The other day Arnold readin the personals of a morning paper this advertisement: PERA WANTED—Young English singer, con- tralto, just arrived, would like to consult with composers for new opera; fine voice and figure. Miss Grace Ogden, Fifth Avenue Hotel. Arnold had just finished a comic opera, The Benedicts,’’ based on the experiences of acompany of husbands who go to the divorce flelds of the West to be liberated. He wanted a lady of fine figure, and thought he had the chance of his life. So, carrying a big roll of manuscript, he called on Miss He was at once shown up to her lighted at his luck. He was so taken by her good looks that he forgot the object of his visit till she said she wanted an opera to star in. she was backed by plenty of capital. Would Mr. Arnold please play over some of the airs of his opera? He unrolled his bundle and played the prettiest kept time with her dainty foot and said, Quite pretty, to be shore. Would Mr. Arnold kindly leave his opera with her till next day while she examined it? This was said in a low, sweet voice, and Mr. Arnold of course said yes. The next day he sent his cardup. Miss Ogden, he declares, sent word back that she was sick. Would he come later? He did, the next day, and his card came back, No answer. Arnold then wrote: Please return my MS. by bearer,’’ This came back, No answer. Arnold was stunned. He haunted the hotel corridors like a ghost for hours. To every friend he met he said, My opera is gone. He read the law of opera copyright, and found that ifa few airs were changed he could no longer claim it as his. All sorts of fancies came to him, Would she copy his music and then produce it? In despair he rushed down to Demo- cratic headquarters and secured the legal services of Lee Meriwether. The latter called on Miss Ogden Tuesday afternoon. He tried diplomacy on the beautiful singer, who was more radiant than ever. Mr. Meriwether talked as if he was an operatic manager. Hehad his flute with him as a sort of disguise. The suggestion was not long in coming om Miss Ogden that he try the airs of a new opens she had. She produced the MS. and Mr. Meriwether was delighted to find it was the property of his client. As he got his hands on the roll he caught up his hat and stated for the door. \ ‘*aren’t you going to play for me?’’ asked Miss Ogden. tN fact isIhavea bad cold,’’ said the visitor, still edging toward the doors. „But what are you going to do with the music?’’ screamed the singer, springing for- ward as she saw his hand on the door, By thistime Meriwether saw his way out. „Madame, said he, ‘*this is the property of my friend, Mr. Arnold, whose attorney l am, and who is awaiting me below. Good day, madame.’’ * „Attorney! Oh, you have deceived me! and Miss Ogden collapsed in a faint on the sofa. Meanwhile the political orator, lawyer and flute player, was making tracks down the marble stairway. At the foot Arnold had been pacing up and down ina wild state for the half hour. When he saw his beloved Ms. safe once again, he danced a dance of joy in front of the clerk’s desk. This is the story told at the hotel, Miss Ogden was seen this afternoon. She has moved since the event to the residence of Maurice Strakosch, 52 North Twenty-fifth street. She smiled when the incident was recalled to her. It wasn’t as bad as all that,“ she sald. „1 was out when Mr, Arnold called, I did not feign Uiness at all. Like all musicians, Mr. Arnold is very excitable and, no doubt, imagined a great many things, one of which was, no doubt, that his opera was 89 good that any one would steal it. 1 don’t think I would endanger my liberty forit. I thought that Mr. Meriwether was a mu gentile- had no idea’ that he was a t of his friend, airs while she ere is ders called on me and s the Salton Desert Was Now Blooms a Meadow. WONDERFUL CHANGES MADE IN THE ARID LANDS BY THE OVERFLOW. — Rivers and Lakes Below the Level of the Sea Water the Great Sand Basin and Transform It Into a Land of Promise First Authentic Account of the Condi- tion of the Country Since the Overflow. Special Correspondence SUNDAY P@ST-DISPATCH. SALTON, Colo. ,Oct. 10.—Great changes have been wrought by nature during the past two years in the inland Salton Sea. It will be re- membered that about two years ago the country was surprised with the intelligence that the greatdesert of the Colorado was rapidly filling with water and that the pros- pects then were that the United States would soon have another body of water within her boundaries which promised to rival Lake Superior or Lake Michigan. At first it Was supposed that the water came from the ocean by way of the Gulf of California, and by a revolution of nature the water was turned into this great desert. After some explorations it was learned, however, that the Colorado River, which forms theeasternand south- eastern boundaries of California as well as San Bernardino and San Diego Counties, had on the oecasion of oneof its floods over- flowed its banks and poured a stream of water into the Colorado Desert, which cut away the banks until there was no barrier to it even at low waterand as a consequence the stream has been flowing steadily into the desert ever since. What is known as the Desert of Colorado or Salton Sea is an im- mense area of land several hundred miles square, lying in San Bernardino and San Diego Counties south of the Southern Pacific Railroad, east of the mountains and west of the Colorado River. Much of this country is below sea level and the total absence of water, except at springs or wells in settlements, won for it the name of the Desert of the Colorado, At one time, ages ago, it was undoubtedly a sea and was connected with the ocean, because large de- posits of salt have been found on the surface of the ground in many parts of it. It was for this reason that the dry lake received the name of Salton Lake, which name was given to the new body of water when it made its appearance. THE DIVERSE THEORIES. Considerable speculation was indulged in atthe time of the overflow, two years ago, as to whether a permanent body of water would not again occupyit. Investigations recently made put to flight all ideas of the kind, as it is shown that the water has subsided and that great lakes have taken the place of the sinks and that rivers now flow through the natural canals which terminate again in the Colorado river near its intersection with the Mexican line. From a desert over which sandstorms swept and the sun beat down upon with geat fury, the Salton desert has in two years been transformed into a valley of green vel- vet by the simple application of water. The fecundity of the soil can be made to rival the valley of the Nile in prolificaavantages. Last spring Ar. H. W. Converse of Campo, San Diego County, Cal,, with his little son, started on a tour of the desert following the waterways: from the point where the current diverted from the Colorado River and proceeding north and west. He went wherever he found enough water to float his boat and took note of everything he saw. He was gone from February until September and writes a report of his wanderings. It 18 the first authentic statement of the affairs at Salton Sea made since the overflow and is full of interest. He says: ; MR. CONVERSE’S REPORT. My son Willie and I left Yuma on May 9, and took two small boats and went down the Colorado River twenty miles to the Algo- dones. Here we had to camp for a week, waiting for the water to rise so that we could get through the north channel of Carter River, which runs from the Colorado to the Salton Basin. In this time the water rose six inches, and with Willie inthe smaller boat and I in the larger one, we had notrouDle in making our way down the stream. At seven Wells, on the old San Diego overland road, we found the water very turbulent, but not dangerous. From Gardner’s to the edge of the Salton basin, a distance of ninety miles or more, the country is dotted by a series of small lakes from a half mile to a mile in length, and but slightly less broad, the north branch of New River forming their connecting links. „„We went down Carter River the same route that Patton, Carter and myself followed last year, as farasthe dividing rim between Salton and Alamo Mucho basins, in the vicinity of which we spent three weeks in ex- ploring the country on both sides of the National boundary. During this time we carefully examined the splendid area of fer- tile soil on both sides of the line, which by a very little expense can be irrigated by the vast amount of water now running to waste as it comes from the Colorado toward Salton. „Me crossed over to New River on June 5 and found no water five miles south of Indian Wells, which shows that the water gets down to the dividing rim in Carter River abouta month earlier than it does in New River. We returned to Carter River and went back above Alamo Mucho about five miles toa narrow, deep stream which leaves it and flows to the southeast and empties into the New Colorado a little distance below the Padrones. We had no troubie in ascending the Carter River, as the water was sluggish. In follow- ing the new stream to the southeast we came into Lake Picachawichi, as it is called by the Indians, which is a large body of water with hardly a perceptible current. We went down the lake about seven miles and founda large stream of water flowing out to the right, with a strong, deep current running toward the west branch of New River. We went the entire length of the lake and should estimate it to cover an area of about eight by twelve miles. COMPLICATED CHANNELS, ‘*A stream which we had left to the north we here found to be about 200 yards wide and twenty miles long, and ascertained that it runs nearly tothe New Colorado and loses itself in another series of lakes. At high water it alsoruns into Lake Julullu through an old channel how partially filled with sand near its mouth. Me turned into the channel which We had left ana expected to reach New River. We found plenty of water and floated down the river for twenty odd miles to where it empties into Black Butte Lake, near the volcanoes, a little to the west of Lake Jululiu, which, by the way, I found was eighteen miles long and.twelve miles wide. The west branch of New River leaves Lake Julullu about four miles to the south. We spent two days in exploring this lake and the surrounding country. We found a fine stream running out of the lake on the southwest side, which empties into New River about ten miles west. I also tried to get into Lake Julullu from the southeast side of Black Butte Lake, but, while the water runs in a good current in places, it was too shallow to let our boats pass through the stout brush and high grass. Onour trip we passed a great many springs on the streams we followed. Some of them were geysers, all seemed to good though a number showed by flavor that they were im- pregnated with some minerals, Although covered by the water in the streams, some of these springs forced their clear waters two feet above the surface of the muddy water in the channel. We took the southwest stream and so reached the west branch of New River. Wetried to navigate up that stream to the volcanoes and turh into Lake Julullu, but could not succeed on account of the strong current, so we went down that stream to Indian Wells. , UTILIZING OLD CANALS. . „We took planty of time to carefuly ex- amine the land on either side of our meander~ ings to ascertain what the pros are for the future utilization of this vast area of more than 6,000,000 acres in the valley of the Colorado. As a ror sos my inv a . iy ely ‘ed 8 833 — 9 49 en Pes. Ww = N * . . 4& at the sands of ancient tire region, out canals are more There re U whole great valley is covered with lakes, ds and holes of water, which can | easily and cheaply be converted into storage reservoirs for husbanding the water until it is wanted for irrigation. The Colorado River is from 100 to 120 feet above the sea level. My camp at Laguna, near Indian Wells, was 88 feet below sea level, which makes the valley at that locality 1388 feet below the river. The distance to the river by an air line 18 miles and it is about 140 dy the streams, which would give a fall of about a foot to the mile. The places that can doe used for storage voirs are situated one above other with falls — — 1 of from 5 to 10 feet descending westward from the Colorado. Hence every foot of land in this great valley on both sides ofthe boundary line can de easily and cheaply irrigated, At the present time the water in the Colo- rado, according tothe measurements on the railroad bridge at Yuma, is 16 feet 6 inches, and it still furnishesa full supply for this whole region. With the river at from 20 to 25 feet, as it is at its flood tide In May and June, one can readily see that its supply can be re- lied upon. HARDSHIPS OF THE TRIP, Wo reached our camp at Indian Wells on July 4, and since then I have carefully watched the water, as that was the highest stage of the river. I have been down New River to within ten miles of where it empties into the Salton basin, and Iam satisfied that it nearly joins Carter River when it enters the lakes, and perhaps at Mesquite Lake, a little this side. This New River stream is much larger than Carter River. We suffered no hardships on our trip, as we had plenty of provisions and water, the two great requisites on such a journey. I have traveled all over this great valley since February last, from Yumato the mouth of the Colorado River, and from the Cocopah Mountains nearly to Salton Lake, covering an area of more than one hundred miles square or 6,450,000 acres. After a full study ot the region, I am prepared to say that it has not tits equal in the West for fertility of soil, growth of pasturage and verdure, and ease with which it can be Irrigated with little expense. Its accessibility is notable; the Colorado River cuts it north and south, and the Southern Pacific Railroad skirts its eastern and north- ern boundary for 100 miles or more. Why some rith corporation has not seen its way clear to open this rich section to settlement, why the great State of California has not seen that the richest portion of her area 1s here on her southwest corner are questions I cannot solve. ‘‘Inever saw such luxuriant feed, such grasses, and so many varieties as grow on this ‘desert.’ There is feed everywhere here for the thousands of cattle which have been starving lately in Afizona and Califor- nia. There are more than five thousand head already inthe Indian Wells region and 8,500 will be there next week from Campo and vicinity, and yet not one is feeding east of New River. With the 1,200 head near the Algodenes these will make 9,700 head of cattle now feeding in the great valley of the Colorado ‘desert’ and yet not one-tenth of its pastorage is touched. There is room for at least 40,000 more for the coming year, and even they would not cover the great area of pasturage. I say this after seven months’ of careful exploration covering more than 2,500 miles of travel, allin this great valley. My son and [I shall make our home inthe future in the Indian Wells basin. After thirty years of wandering over the coast I can say that this is the dest section I have seen. It is no desert but is a large fertile valley with plenty of water. This it will always have, provided that the chan- nels leading from the Colorado River in this direction are kept open as easily can be done. i found the old camps of Col. D. K. Allen and his survey party all over the valley and his maps were almost absolutely correct. His statements were true as to the water, streams, old canals, soll, land, and in fact everything pertaining to the miscalled desert. he summer at our camp was one of the pleasantest Jever experienced. A cool breeze from the gulf during the day and from the mountains at night rendered our trip most enjoyable. We did not experience a wind or snowstorm on the whole trip. These belong tosuch mesas as those es the railroad, and south and east of Yuma. Ifsome enter- prising people will investigate the magnifi- cent resources of the Indian Wells and Alano Mucho valleys they will form an even higher opinion ofits possibilities than my attempt to picture them here can convey.’’ EXASPERATED CZAR ZEIGENHEIN. Taxpayer T. M. Eckert Makes a Protest and Gets Abuse. There still seems to be little or no use in property owners filing a remonstrance ugainst the opening of saloons in blocks in which a majority of them are opposed to liquor establishments. The law is a dead letter onthe statute books so far as Czar Ziegenhein is concerned, and he laughs alike at grand-juries as well as at in- dignant property owners who _ strive in vain to assert their rights. One of the most flagrant and aggravated cases of late has developed in the West End in city block NO. 2226, bounded by Laclede avenue and Manchester road on the north and south,and Compton avenue and Leonard avenue on the eastand west. A saloon sit- uated on the southeast corner of Laclede and Leonard avenues has been running for some months past in open violation of law and de- cency, and solely by the grace of Czar Zeig- enheim. The facts in the Case are these. Mr. T. M. Eckert of 3214 Laclede avenue, hearing that some Italians were about to open a saloon on the corner, made it a matter of personal business for himself to canvass the block and secure signatures to a remon- strance. With the exception of about twelve persons in the block, he obtained the sig- natures of every one who had not only owned property, but who was a tenant or a lodger inany of the houses. Among the property owners, he secured the signature of Gov. D. R. Francis, The remonstrance was duly flled and Mr. Eckert re- ceived the assurance of Zeigenhein that the saloon would not be allowed to run. In the meantime the Italians had opened up for business, and the usually quiet neigh borhood was fr led nightly witha series of choice musical selections, furnished in a rear room ofthe saloon by a broken-down band with cracked instruments which had been engaged to give eclat to the opening. In aft of desperation Mr. Eckert went to Czar Zeigenhein and told him he must have the saloon closed or he would resort to other measures. What was his surprise to be informed that the saloon-keepér hada majority of the sig- natures of the property-Owners and had been granted a license. „But what about that remonstrance?’’ Mr. Eckert asked. Oh, Lhave some doubts as to the genu- ineness of the signatures of some signers?’’ ‘‘Now see here, Mr. Zeigenheim,’’ Mr. Echert replied, I obtained every one of those signatures in person and I know they are genuine. You are merely trying to evade the issue in this case and I will proceed to lay this matter] before the present Grand- ury.’’ : “You will, will you?’’ exclaimed the Czar now fully infuriated, ‘‘Youdirty, sneaking thief you. suspected from the first time you foot in this office. You try that on and I will follow you tothe endof the earth. I will have you discharged from your present position and blacklisted in the union, and if. there is any law to prosecute you I wi ll have you indicted for blackmail. ‘* The Ozar here drew his breath, and once more launched forth into a perfect tirade of personal abuse, which caused Mr. Eckert to leave the office in disgust. He subsequently went tothe Four Courts on several occasions, neglecting Lis work to do so, but there found no one who could show or lead him the way to the sacred pre- cincts of the Grand-jury room. e was finally informed there on the quiet, that he was only wasting his time, and now he ig at sen for what steps to take, Mr. Eckert was seen by a posr-Dier Aren reporter, who heard of the heated discussion Court-house and he confirmed the zartes h by the, Wes employ y ern Union Tele h Co. for the past twenty years.

THE EIGHT-HOUR SYSTEM OPPOSED, BUT ARBITRATION ADVOCATED. Indirect Taxes One of the Chief Burdens Which the Laboring Man in Austria Has to Bear— Work of the Social Dem- ocrats in Vienna, the City Where They Are Strongest. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. VIENNA, Austria, Oct. 2. — Tha labor problem is as far from being solved in the Austro- Hungarian Empire as it is in Germany or France and the condition of the workingman is more deplorable here than in either of the other countries named. Over 60,000 men are said to be out of employment inthecity of Vienna alone, and but for the extensive public improvements which the Government is carrying on, many thousands more would be without work. The Socialists, or Social Democrats as they are called here, may be making some progress toward the alleviation of the laboring classes, but it is hardly perceptible as yet. Vienna has from the time of Lasalle been one of the great hotbeds of Socialism in Europe, but the Government keeps the movement well in check. The leaders are clamoring for political rights for the masses and with political rights an improvement of their social condition. As in America,so,here the cry is that wages must be increased and the hours of labor diminished. The press laws must also be repealed or amended so that the workingman’s voice may be heard through the press. This is the talk heard in many places, The meetings of the Socialists are often broken up by the po- lice, but others are held and the agitation continues, whether the movement is making any perceptible progress or not. The manufacturers of the country are alive to the situation, and are doing their utmost to prejudice the public as well as the Govern- ment against the agitation of the working classes. Notlongago a meeting of manu- facturers was held here, which was attended by representatives of fifteen different in- dustries. They formed a sort of mutual pro- tective organization, out at the same time passed resolutions denying to workingmen the right to organize for their protection. They opposed the formation of trade unions on the ground that they would tend to destroy the friendly relations between em- ployers and employes and thus injure both, but most of all the em- ploye. The eight-hour system they would favor only if it were regulated by an interna- tional congress. One thing, however, they did which may seem strange to Americans. They declared in favor of arbitration for the settlement of disputes in preference to State interference. Theclaim made in opposing the eight-hour system was that unless Ger- many and other European countries adopted the same system, Austria and Hungary could not compete with them in manufactured ar- ticles. In commenting on this the Wiener Tageblatt said: This narrow-minded view or the subject is simply ridiculous, and the manufacturers know full weil that the conditions of productionand competition are based upon a number of factors, such as the cost of raw products, the rates of hes my the prevailing monetary system, the establishing of, branches in foreign countries, etc., of which the question of working hours is of some interest, but does not by any means play a leading part. During later ears the Austrian manufacturers have een helped and encouraged in everv imaginable way, as, for instance, by the lowering of fretght rates on the principal railways, the inaugura- tion of commercial treaties, and by the impending change in currency, which latter event puts, as it were, an export premium on Austrian manufac- tures. They have, therefore, no cause for com- plaint, and are,on the contrary, being favored by the Government atthe expense of the consumer. Whether their public denunciation of a movement which they can neither check nor suppress is an act vf prudence in the face of the facts enumerated above will be shown in time to come. But there is no doubt that, had they tried to condition of the working classes and endeavored to injeét a more pacific spirit into the strained relations now existing vetween capital and labor, they would have certainly served their own inter- ests much better than by thus peremptorily dismiss- ing the subject from their platform. Tne social question will never be solved by such hasty decis- ions. The manufacturers ought to listen to the de- mands of their workmenand discuss them ina ra- tional way tobe justifiedin calling for government protection should illegal transgressions on the part of the working people occur. This combining of manufacturers is but a pitched battle of capitalists improve the j against laborers. Another cause of complaint among the laboring classes of Vienna is the excessive taxation to which they, together with the well-to-do classes, are subjected. As con- sumers they have to pay a very large portion of the indirect taxes levied by the govern- ment in various ways and on various art! cles, All provisions and beverages brought into the city are made to pay a tax in the way ofa city tariff. Of course ,the duty comes out of the pocket of the consumer. Manufacturers are taxed on their beet sugar, refined oils and distilled spirits, and they re- imburse themselves out of the funds of their customers. Thenthere are numerous direct taxesinthe way of water licenses, school taxes, employes’ taxes and income taxes, besides regular property taxes, hich the workingman must pay, and altogether they make a very heavy burden for him. Ceiling Papers. Celling papers are now universally em- ployed for the reception-rooms of all houses that profess to be well decorated. As far as artistic appearance goes they are decidedly to be preferred to blank white expanse; but, of course, they are more trouble and expense to renew than hitewash, and hence are doubtful advantages on the score of cleanli- ness. We who dwell in towns must try to strike a happy mean vetwixt having a draw- ing-room as bare. as a hospital ward to oblige the sanit us and one crowded with dust-traps at the dictates of the artistic furnishers. A delicate and artistic ceiling paper is a remarkable ad- dition to the good looks of a reception-room, But there ‘are already housewives no longer content with ceiling per in this London, where people demand some new thing con- stantly. In one smart house there is now a ceiling covered with Japanese matting, held up by split bamboo, which traverse the mat - ting in lines converging from the frieze to the center—that center where, in un- sophisticated days, bea med the gaudy crystal gasalier, now vanished fromthe earth. In another house, a large, brown twine fishing net forms the decorationof the smoking- room celiing; it is artistically draped from the center to the sides, and where it bags most, various pretty shells and dried sea- weeds are carelessiy cast about inside the meshes. The Feather Boa. The feather boa, product of the North, so much liked in England, is one of the mur flings that will, for a certainty, be worn through the autumn. Light colored feathers make some boas, but these are in taste only with elaborate carriage dress; the general wear is black.

Lee—Following a Feeder Shipments From the Pocabon- tas — Strikes in the Jay Bird and Grover Cleveland— Local Mining Notes. LEADVILLE, Oct. 15.— From present appear - ances there will be a vigorous campaign car - ried on in outlying districts this winter. At most of the mines winter supplies are being laidinand the deep snows that occur in many of the gulches willin no way interfere with the work of mining; however, but few shipments can be made in dead of winter andthe ore will be stored in bins to be shipped as soon as spring opens. A very excellent strike is to be recorded in the Robert E. Lee. The discovery was made ata depth of 245 feet and consists of a fine body of chlorides. Insome of the samples silver was plainly visible to the naked eye. As yet it is impossible to determine the ore body, but development work will at once be vigorously carried forward. Shipments from the upper portions of the mineare still keep- ing up to the old average. The pumping of the jncline at the Venture mine is still being kept up while in other parts of that property development work is meeting with good results. In prospecting yesterday an immense chunk of ore was found in the lime quartz, assays from which returned 368 ounces of silver and 36 per cent lead. Where mineral of such value is found itis very probable that a body of similar ma- terial exists near by and this feeder is being vigorously followed up. The Pocahontas people are now averaging shipments of forty-five tous per day of iron and carbonates. After years of hard labor and the expendi- ture of thousands of dollars the Jay Bird and Grover Cleveland have come to the front witha big strike. The find was made in the new tunnel which is being driven, and within twenty feet of the surface. It con- sists of fine looking quartz which runs over one-halfounce of gold and carries a large amount of copper. The veinisatrue fissure and is twenty feet in width. TUNNELING THE SILVER QUEEN. Inthe Silver Queen the management in- tend running a new tunnel. This property is forging to the front quite rapidly. The lower grade mineral runs from thirty-five to seventy-five ounces, but a two- nch streak of black sulphirets runsthrough the center oft the vein which averages 500 ounces. Over sixty tons ofthis mineral has been broken and is now being hoisted. A. S. Cra wford, a well-known mining man here, has just secured a lease on the Yellow Jacketin the Sunny Side District. At the mine a great many needed improvements are being made, while developments are giving satisfactory results. Considerable ore is now being mined that assays from 65 to 378 ounces tothe ton, while shipments are in- creasing rapidly. Messrs. Rudolph and Larimer of Philadel- phia arrived this week and are making prepa- rations for a resumption of work on the Little Joe mine. gAshoritime ago a big vein was opened up In this mins and this was followed py the opening up of an immense body of gold ore. A big force of men is to be put on and that mine will be thoroughly developed during the winter. A NEW SMELTING PROCESS. The new Bimetallic Smelting Co. has proven its new method of reducing ores to be a suc- cess and hence they will need much more ca- pacity to handle their business. Two new stacks are to be erected, each of which will have a capacjty of 100 tons per day. This will increase the entire capacity to 300 tons per day. Thesmelter is now averaging treat- ment of 100 tons per day. Yhe Post-DIsPpaTCH correspondent this week visited the celebrated Cripple Creek mining district, of which so much has been said and written during the last six mont us. The Cripple Creek section, from all appear- ances, is destined to become one of the best old producing campsin thecountry.

At one time botanists were inclined to the opinion that black and green teas were fur- nished by two distinct species, the former by **fhea Bohea,’’ and the latter fy Thea Viridis.*’ The latest investigation goes to prove, however, that there is really but one plant. So little difference exists between the Species, that both arb referred to as one species, ‘‘Thea Chinensis.’’ True, there are the green tea country and the black tea coun- tryin China, hundreds of miles apart, but the difference in the leaves, it is maintained, is owing to the climate, situation, soll and other accidental influences. ns tea shrub is generally from three to six feet high, having numerous branches and a very dense foliage.

Purchasers | of teas inquire as to the position of the Sat- dens from which the samples were taken. Teas from the summit of a hill, fromthe middle, and from the base of a ‘hill, possess different values. Some of shrubs are generally planted on the slopes | of hills, the plants in places not interfering with the cultivation of wheat and other grain. The plants are raised from seeds, which are sown very thickly together, shoot. proper size they are transplanted into beds prepared for them, although in some cases the seeds are sown ix the proper situ- ations, and not removed, Care is taken thatthe plants are not overshadowed by large trees, and many superstitious notions prevail among the Chinese as to the noxious influence of certain vegetables in the vicin- ity. Although th tea shrub is very hardy, not being injurea by snow, yet the weather has great influence on the quality . of the leaves. Care is necessary, with regard to the proper cultivation of the plant.

Whenthe teais cured it is poured into chests. If for transportation, the tea Is placed in boxes lined with lead paper to keep out the dampness. In curing the finest kinds of teas, not more than ten to twenty leaves are placed on the pan at one time in firing, and only a few pounds rolled at any time. As soon as cured these fine teas are packed in papers, two or three pounds in each package, and stamped with the name of the plantation on which the tea was grown,-and the date of cnring. In the final drying of tea after it has been ‘*firdéa’’ care has to be taken that no smoke ascends from the fire over which it is dried and findsits way among the leaves. This is prevented by laying ashes over the fire. Foretgners are not very readily admitted into the curing establishments. In large curing houses called pack houses, two or three rows of furnaces are built in a large airy apartment having a number of hemispherical fron pans inserted into the brickwork, two pans being heated by one fire. Into these pans the leaves to be rolled are thrown, ahd stirred with the arm _ until the leaves become too hot for the flesh to bear, when they are swept out and laid on a table covered with matting, where they are again rolled. The beating and rolling are repeated sometimes three or four times, according to the state of the leaves. The rolling is attended with some pain, as an acrid juice exudes from the leaves, which acts on the hands. The whole operation of tea-cur- ing and packing is unpleasant, A fine dust arises and enters the mouth and Firing Tea. nose, to prevent which workmen wear a 2 yy!

Tea is frequeptly tested during the process of curing by pouring boiling water upon a portion of it, and its strength and quality are judgeu by the number of infusions that can be made from the same leaves. As Many as fifieen drawings are sometimes obtained from the ricuest kinds, Each foreign commercial house employs an inspector or taster, whose business it is to examine samples of all the teas sub- mitted to uals flrm for purchase. Men a taster has a lot of teas to examine, several samples selected from various chests belng placed before him, ndarst of all takes up a large handful and smells it repeatedly, then chews some of it and records his opinion in a folio. He also, at times, puts small portions of the various samples into little cups, and pours boiling water on them, and sipsthe infusion. The accuracy of good tasters is said to be wonderful. They wili classify and fix the true value of a con- signment of teas beyond dispute. 4 first- class tea-taster can make a iortune in a few years, but from constantly inhaling minute particles of the herb, the health is frequently ruined. Many persons have imagined that the pecu- liar effects of green tea upon the nerves, after drinking, as also the color, are owing to the tea having been fired incopper pans. This is not the case, as no copper instruments are used in the curing of tea. The effects referred to are attributable to the curing process, which, perhaps, had not been perfectly done, and the leaf was allowed to retain many peculiar properties of the grow- ing plant, which should have been elimina- ted. The Chinese never use any ofthe infe- rior grades of teas, in which artifictal methods of coloring are resorted to. These are prepared exclusively for exportation. Hot tea is used as a beverage in China, winter and summer, No matter how hot the day, a Chinaman will quench his thirst with draughts of almost boiling tea. Few families are so poor that a simmering tea pot ts not kept over the fire, from which the traveler is requested to drink. A failure to tender the hospitality to a caller is regarded as a slight, and this means is resorted to when it is de- sired to cut an acquaintance, An Unparalleled Offer.

New York, Oct. 12.—Lee Charles was dead. In a hall room of the second floor of No. 22 Mott street he lay, the casket swathed in black and his face, that looked up through the shadowy oval of glass, as gray as the blouse he wore. The little room was bare and carpetless and four bioused and hatted Chinamen who sat with their backs to the wall might have been mummies, so still and silent were they. A young woman with her head bowed in her hands sat near the dead man’s head. Over her bare shoulders was drawn a crepe de chine shawl. She had sat there dumb for many hours while the spirits of burning in- cense, like phantoms of thought, spread out their thin arms over the dead. The woman was Lee Charles’ widow, Mary. Mary is a warm,full-blown flower of China- town. She Is only 16 years old, but her figure is rounded and symmetrical,and she is grace- ful in her movements, Her hair is straight and very black. She wears bangs, and the rest of it is colled up in very fine braids. Mary’s eyes are dark brown, large and al- mond shaped, just like those of her Chinese father. Her nose is a trifie long and strong- ly drawn, and she has ber father’s high cheek bones, whose outlines are softened by the fuliness of her face. THE PRIDE OF CHINATOWN. Mary’s complexion is what might be called Olive, but her cheeks are always full of a rich red—red almost as her lips. She has a mouth like her mulatto mother, and her teeth are most pleasingly white and even. Always dressed in simple taste, with a touch of color, Mary was the pride of Chinatown. She had a very fair school education, and that was more than most of the girls there- abouts of her age could boast of. Her father is Low Chung; a merchant, and lives with his family at the northwest corner of Elizabeth and Bayard streets. ,There are three other children Desides Mary—two girls anda boy. Ihe rooms dare comfortably fur- nished and there is Brussels carpet on the parior ffoor. On the walls are tramed pic- tures of familiar historical scenes. Mrs. Low Chung has been a wife for eighteen years and is a good mother. She too has passed nearly all her lite in Chinatown ; and can speak Chinese as well as English. Her maiden name was Barbara Mitchell, and you can see that she was a very comely young woman. She has large gray eyes set well apart and her face is plump and kindly. Mary isn’t the oldest child for Annte 1s 18. She has no suitors. She isa cripple and does the work. She might have been even pret- tier than Mary but for her misfortune. » MARY’S LOVERS. There is a heap of sentiment in Chinatown, and Mary had to dowith much of it. Her suitors tread upon the toesof one another, and it is toid that Hung Lee, the poet, wrote her an ode that was seventy-two verses long, and contained everything from peach blos- soms to chow chop suey. Mary likes verses, but not that kind, so when Hung was jeered by his companions he wentto Long Island and wept himselfinto consumption, When Hung Lee faiied Lee Toy began. Toy is a hero in Chinatown. He is over five feet tall, muscular and withthe sinews ofacat. He is asportandissaidto be one of the most influential members of the order of highbinders.. Amemberof the powerful Lee family. he has many enemies and after an exciting time in the West, he now wears at all times a shirt that is proof againsta bullet or a knife thrust. Lee Toy didn’t find favor with Mar she flatly refused his suit. Lee Toy didn’t Swear vengeance. He simply said: ‘‘ Allee lite!“ But he intended to even up the score just the same, His cousin, Lee Charles, loved Mary Low Chung, too, and Mary smiled on Charies, for he was a man of many excel- lent qualities. Then he wasoneof the most prosperous merchants in the city. LEE CHARLES’ SENTIMENT. Lee Charles was a milder man than Toy and was given somewhat to reading. When Mary came ateveningto his store he sometimes would read from one of his books,that looked like a stock of tea-labels, stories and verges about the bloom of the Mal flower and the wondertul Khi Levi that shed tts scales at the sight of a beautiful woman atthe bath. He likened Mary to the maiden in this poem. The sun hung heavy in the sky, The foliage, oppressed, bent low As she, most beauteous to the eye, Stood where the crystal waters flow. and Her gorgeous scales the Khi Lin shed, The maid her raiments threw aside. sailed by with arched head A — „ looking, bowed in humble pride, An She tried to weave a shimmering veil Of water with her fingers fair, The sparkling ee were but frail, Lett jewels shining in her hair. The peachlike blossoms of her charms Quite suddenly were lost to view; She yielded to the water’s arms Like maid to clasp of love true. And she arose with all the grace Of lily wind-lashed in the West. The wavelets iu ajoyfulchase Piayed tenderly around her breast. Heaven smiles in sweetest bliss, There is much that some men miss. THE MARRIAGE, Lee Charles and Mary Low Chung were married at midnight on Nov. 17 of last year. ‘the girl’s mother was then living at No, 21 Chatham square, and the ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. J. F. Avery, pastor of the Mariners’ Temple. It was a very quiet affair, too. The pastor’s wife and daughter and poy te Sunday-school teacher were there. Lee Toy, allsmiles and congratulations, was one oMhe witnesses, and his name is signed to the flowered marriage certificate that Mary's mother-in-law holds. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Charles went to live at No. 28 Mott. street. Had Mary been less comely she might have never known trouble. Lee Toy watched her closely for a long time forsome opportunity for his_revenge, but though her admirers were in wise dimin - ished by her marriage Mary's conduct was above reproach. Lee Toy, the husband’s constant com- panion,.lost no chance to sow the seeds that the Chinese wise men say make the aconite plant bloom in the heart. Gradually Lee Charles became jealous, for the aconite seeds fell on good soil, Jealousy and sus- picion go hand in hand, and thus it was that Mary and her husband quarreled—quarreled ina good vigorous fashion, for Mary hasa temper that is pecullarly her own, One quarrel followed the other. Mary said she loved her husband dearly, but wouldn’t suffer an injustice from anyone. Toy finally became convinced that it would be well to rid himself of the young woman, as she wanted to get hola of Charles“ property. Finally Charles agreed and Toy undertook to produce the evidence that would hold good in a court of divorce, THE PLOT SUCCEEDED. One Sunday about the middle of August Mary went into an apartment of her home. She was followed by Lee Toy and Chu Ong, one of Toy’shenchmen. As she was about to close the door Toy shoved Ong into the place and held the door. She cried for help and Lee Charles, the husband, and a crowd of his friendsranup. Then Toy threw open the door and disclosed the young wife and Ong. Detectives Coughlin an Mitchell were called in and told to arrest Ong and Mary, but at frst refused. The husband insisted, and the two were locked up. The husband balled out Ongafew hours later. Charles imme- diately began divorce proceedings, and Mary went home to her mother. On the sist uit. she made application before Judye Giegerich inthe Court of Common Pleas for alimony and counsel fees. It was Oliver said that Charles in the Chang Lang Co., month. was simply a clerk and got only $30 a heart trouble, andon sun the struggle. hen Mary wentatonce tothe plac who nee 8 of the y . mit her. asn’t , hey said.

Blaine’s Plaintive Plea to Be Permitted to Retire in Peace—“I Have But a Short While to Live at Best’’—Incidents of the Midnight Republican Conference at Ophir Farm—Reid’s Address in New York Yesterday. — New York, Oct. 15.—It was pretty nearly 1 p’clock this morning when Mr. Blaine with - Grew from the little party of political pngineers that had since the departure of the perenaders been gathered about the log fire in Mr. Reid’s library at Ophir Farm. Mr. Blaine, though much fatigued by the exer- tions which he had been compelled to under- go in making a speech to the people, listened jntently to the discussion. Once in a while he dozed off and rested his head on the back of the easy chair in which he was seated. No pooner, however, wasa suggestion made that 5 with his approbation or disapproval than expressed either his pleasure or objections with his old time vigor. One of those who participated in the con- perence told many interesting incidents of it to a Post-DIsPATCH representative this morning. He is a National Committeeman Bnd he spoke earnestly. He said: ‘‘It was Pealiy remarkable how much power of anal- ysis the ex-Secretary of state exhibited Guring our little talk. Proposition after proposition wasmade and advocated with u the argumentative skill that was at the Bommand of the speaker. Blaine would Msten sometimes dreamily, sometimes very Attentively, and then with a single sweep of the hand and a sentence or two he would de- Molish that argument so that it had Pot a leg to stand on. It was very Blear to every one that however Weak Mr. Blaine might be physically his mental capacity was never more potent than is to-day. Though he knows that he has been treated by Harrison as he thinks he t to have been, no one, not even his t friends. has yet heard from his lips a Single complaint. He bears no resentment. Ne is nursing no grievance. His disposition Is as sweet as a babe’s.

I have but a short while to live at best. Now you would not compel me to run any further risk than that to which I shall be pubjected by speaking a few words to the people of Westchester County, in behalf of My very dear friend Reid, whose election I sire above everything else.’ Mr. Blaine said this so tenderly and so Badly thatnone of us, much as we appre- Biated the importance of the grand old man’s appearance before the masses, had the heart to press the suggestion. I understand that Certain of Harrison’s fond friends still insist on dragging Blaine outagain. It would sim- ply hasten his death. I have been his int - mate friend and have fought for his nomi- nation for Speaker, Senator and President, through nearly thirty years of his political life and much as I iove him, Iam very much afraid that he cannot live six months. His sudden death at any time would not surprise me nor, would it any one who nows his temperament and is ac- uainted with the disease from which he now suffering. It would be to force him to speak again and asa member of the Republican National Committee, I Shall do my utmost to stop any scheme to drive Mr. Blaine to the platform again. I think it may be safely predicted that the Ophir Farm speech will be the last of a pol it- ical character, or indeed any other charac- ter, that Mr. Blaine will ever deliver. None but those who know and love him can ap- preciate what that effort cost him. It re- minds me of C@sar’s forgiveness of Brutus ere he died. I knew that he felt it was to be bis farewell address, and therefore was it that he took such pains in its preparation. He has done more than his duty.

New Tonk, Oct. 15.—At the meeting this afternoon of the Wholesale Dry Goods Dealers’ Republican Association, in which President W. B. Fuller of the association presided, Hon. John Brennanof Connecticut was the first speaker, after which loud calls were made for Mr. Reid, and amid enthusi- astic cheering that gentleman mounted the platform and expressed his pleasure at speaking before an audience which showed puch a hearty approval of Republican principles. He proceeded immediately with the discussion of ‘tariff issues.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoOsST-DISPATCH. NEw York, Oct. 12.—In a high glass room in the green-house at No. 734 Fifth avenue there towers 80 feet in the air a century plant. It is a rare floral curiosity. Mr. John Con- don, the owney, teils an interesting story of its possession, and its history is pecullar. Fully twenty-five years it has lain around his place in company with other plants to which no care was given, except to crowd it in some warm corner where it might lazily thrust out an occasional spiked leaf. Its diameter was about three feet and resembled a large cab- bage that had not reached proportion. A2 Mr. Condon’s Century Plant. In June there appeared a stem in the center ot the century plant, and before it received attention had grown several inches. Mr. Con- don watched the growth and became con- vinced a flower was developing. Now this stem ig thirty feet high, twoinches thick and hard enough to resist a sharp pruning knife. The roof of the hothouse was raised to let the flower grow. Twenty feet up the stem limbs jetted out, ten in number, each bear- ing three smaller branches. From these hung sprays of buds much like strawberries of from three to ten, making in all about 500 flowers, a sort of general blossoming. „They call them century plants, but I don't believe they wait a century before they bloom,’’ said Mr. Condon. ‘‘I had the pleasure of seeing whole groves Of them dur- ing my journey in Mexico last summer, and the fuct that they bloom so infrequently doubtless gives rise to’ the pleasant fiction concerning them. They are in Mexico a very profitable investment, and are used for the purpose of both food and drink. After the stem has reached its full growth it is cut down, and the sap which fills the basin at its base is ladled out and forms a yeasty and very intoxicating drink called pulque. All but myself in the party tried a little one day. I hardly cared for it after.I saw it.’’ „How long will the plant remain bloom?’’ he was asked. „Several weeks, but not at its best, was his response. This is a female plant, and there is a pathetic view to take of the mat - ter. For years, perhaps a century, the plant goes on preparing itself for the flower, and the shoot it sends up is its dying effort. The blossoms carry in themthe life of the new plants. and the old plant dies in giving them birth.’’ The plant will be on free exhibition during the next week. in Don'ts for Mothers.

The Bicycle Was Stolen. Walter Brown and James June, two negro boys aged about 12 years each were arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of having stolen a safety“ bicycle which they had sold to one Arthur Malone for 50 cents. Officers Mahon and Flaherty lodged them in the Third District Station pending an investi- gation, Carl Vetsburg, a student of the Smith Academy living at 2925 Chestnut street called at the station later and identified the bicycle as his property. He said that he had left the machine at 1324 Washington avenue and that it had been stolen the afternoon be- fore from in front of that number. War rants were sworn out charging the boys with grand larceny. She Raised a Racket. Rose McGee, a colored street walker, created quite a scene in Judge Morris’ court yesterday morning, after being sentenced to the Work-house for eighty days. She shrieked and screamed and plunged her hand and arm through one of the windows. After she had been seized by two deputy sheriffs she fought them violently until they landed her in the calaboose. This is her sec- ond offense and when arrested she tore the officer’s star from his coat and bit him twice before he subdued her with a rap of his club. Arrested on Suspicion. James Ounningham was arrested yesterday on suspicion of having stolen $4 from Edward Hall, who lives at a boarding house at 1553 Chouteau avenue. Mr. Estep didn’t think a case could be made against Ounningham and he will be sent tothe Police Court for vag- rancy. Rosie Jordan Arrested.

(NOTHER WEEK OF DEPRESSION IN ‘THE PRINCIPAL MARKETS. age Situation-~Chat From ’Change lay, with no diminution to ¢he enormous f upplies in sight, but probabilities favoring a arther heavy increase in this country’s vis!- fle to-morrow, no let up to the movement rom the country and no signs of any im- 1 3 aediate decrease, the drouth broken by gen- Wal rams throughout the winter wheat tates and outside speculation nil. Here was he situation and bad enough it appeared, wet in the face of all these unfavorable cir- -mmstances, the bulls were as chipper and and there was a friendlier long side than one vould hardly expect to see. Not but vhat there are many bears, and some of hem real panicky, but the bulls are just as ervous, and comp#ise, too, some of the best raders in the local market. There has been 10 oxtenstve loading up, and several, who eel friendly towards the long side, are hoid- ng off untilthe market becomes more set- fed. The feeling, in fact, appears to be hat, while it may not be time to buy, it is ot the time to go short. Sentiment has a 700d deal to do with bullish ideas. The low rice is one thing. Another is the belief that hree large crops in succession cannot be ex- yected, and the probability that the oming winter crop wil go in- © winter quarters late, and with 10 strong, sturdy growth to resist severe Weather strengthens this belief materially. it will undoubtedly require a good long spell of highly favorable weather to overcome the fects of the prolonged drouth just passed Adverse weather conditions from ow on will be potent factors in speculation, here is no let up to the exports from this wountry, they continuing surprisingly large tonsideriIng the dullness reporte@abroad and the reported lack of foreign buying on this lide. Since July 1, wheat, and flour as well, exported at the rate of for the year. If be kept up the xportable surplus of the 82 crop based bn a 619,000,000 bu yield would be cleaned up, tnd 10,000,000 bu besides, allowing for food ind seed requirements, and not allowing for any otner use for wbeat or the losses usually igured mpon. This would mean small sup- plies in sightand low reserves next spring ind summer. At the rate wheat has been and still is being marketed, reserves will be Ow next year any way. Yesterday’s close w sellefs at 7I'ec for Dec., and 78%4@%c for ay. onfident, » * * Cash wheat seems to be neglected so far as the outside demand is concerned. About all that has moved out is in the shape of flour. The low water in the river prevents ship- ments by barges andeventhe movement of dard wheat which has been going out that way is checked by the in- ability to load the barges to a sufficient depth, which increases the sost of transportation. Europe does not seem to want any of our red winter wheat and is only taking the hard wheat to mix with their native soft. The local elevators 3eem to be nearly all filled up to their worx- ug capacity and this in a measure has shecked the demand from the private warehouse men and mixers, on account of the inability of the regular elevators to re- deve the accumulations from these houses. This state of affairs has also had a depressing sffect on the sample market, which has been eft almost entirely to the millers, and furing the latter part of the week t Was impossible to obtain prices equal to the value of the regular grades sven for the best samples of sacked lots on the Levee or at the depots. Yesterday was the dullest since harvest in the sample mar- ket, and several lots were carried over for want of buyers. Grade No. 2 red sold at 69\kc, No. 8 red at 6442@65c, No. 4 winter at 6llec, No, 2 hard winter at 65½ 85 c. The receipts for the week were 947,540 bu against 867,969 buthe previous week. The local stock is $,911,027 bu, of which 3,087,151 bu is No. 2 red. A total increase of 187,800 bu and 93,000 bu in No. 2 red. * a * Like wheat, corn closed yesterday at lowest figures for the week and also the lowest that have been seen for many months past, sell- ers asking *85ac for Nov., 88@¥sc for Dec., s7%c for year and 41%@lec for May. The Gov- ernment report, upon which a crop of nearer 17,000,000,000 than 16,000,000,000 bu could be figured, gave the market its fresh start downward, and liquidation and shattered bull sentiment have done therest. The al- ready large supply of over 11,000,000 bu in sight that is steadily being augmented by a country movement that does not find a de- mand in anyway adequate to meet it, does not help matters any and the result is depression of the deep- est and darkest dye. Chicago, with a stock of nearly 3,000,000 bu contract grade on hand and the close of navigation approaching, nas deen the heaviest market and led in the downward move. Thatthe bull element in that market which run matters as they leased so long, should hold off and allow prices to sag as they have, discourages the outsiders, though regarded by close observ- ers as a move on their part to get control once more at cheap prices. The great dull. zes that prevails in the spot market 0 y has an unfavorable ef- upon speculation also.

The total yesterday morning was 68,000 bu, of which 86,000 bu was No. 2. However, the de- Was very poor and in such shape as to be of no ass nee ina lightly stocked mar- ket. Exporters were entirely out, owing to the low stage of water inthe river, few out- side orders were received and the local man- ufacturing demand controlled the situation. No, 2and No. 2 white sold yesterday at 40c and No. 8 could not be sold above 3%c. » > About the worst sufferer, so far as losses in value goes, has been oats. The Government port, with its probable 616,000,000 bu crop, nocked out every bit of bull sentiment, and the downward slide in corn carried oats along withit. There were so many longs still holding on that it has been an easy mat- er and common amusement for the bears to e the price Gown to stop order and freeze out limits and force liquidation. May sold esterday at 824ec, which was nearly ze be- low the preceding Saturday’s close, and Oct. ‘was down to 28%c. Ihe spot article dia not lose sO much as did futures. Not the demand was Ways extra, nor the offerings in an Small, but there was about enough of the ‘former to take care of the latter and that revented any severe breaks. Receipts were N. 160 bu, considerable of which went through, and yesterday’s stock of 437,000 bu 263,000 bu was No. 2—showed 47.000 bu de- crease on the week.

Total. 7,611,000 Equal bu. . 60,888,000 The Census Bureau has just issued a pre- liminary report on the manufacture of cot- ton inthe United States for the census year 1890. The growth of the industry has been constant and greatly extended in the South, where an addition is shown in the number of mills established and successfully operated. The consumption of raw conton in the South- ern States in 1890 exceeded that of 1880 by 166,308,889 pounds, while in New England, the chief seat of the manufacture, the ex- cess of consumption of 1890 over that of 1880 was only 178,317,804 pounds. The number of establishments reported in 1800, 904; in 1880, 75. Number of hands em- ployed, officers and clerks included in 1890 221,585; in 1880, 174,659. Cost of material used in 1890, $164,593,368; in 1880, $102,206,347; per- centage of increase, 51.26. Value of product in 1890, $267,981,924; in 1880, $192,090,110; per- centage of increasé, 39.51. Number of spindles in 14,088,103; in 1880, 10,658.485; percentage of increase, 32.24. number of looms in 1890, 824,866: in 1880, 225,750; percentage of increase, 43.90. Pounds of rawcotton consumers in 1690, 1,117,945,776; in 1880, 750,343,981; percentage of increase, 48.99. The statement of the finan- cial result of the manufacture of cotton goods, showing that of every dollar of goods made and sold 48.1c represent the cost of cot- ton consumed, 18.10 the cost of other material, 6.3c the amount of mis- cellaneous expenses, and 25.83c the cost of labor, including the amount paid to officers and clerks. The sum of 2.2c re- mains as residue to cover the depreciation of plant (a large item in cotton mills) as well as the visible profits of the manufacture. The total consumption of raw cotton was 2,258,- 263 bales. 1,117,745,776 pounds. The increase in the number of bales consumed from 1880 to 1890 was 688,218, or 43.83 per cent, and in weight of cotton 48.99 per cent. Recent improvements have had an effect in the consumption of cotton per spin- die. Ini18s70!it was a little less than 56 ounds, in 1880, 70.43 pounds, and in 1890, 35 pounds. The total cost of all materials shows an apparent increase of 51.26 per cent. That this increase is in excess of the true rate is evident from the fact thatthe use of materials of the value of only $15,260,622 other than raw cotton was reported to the tenth census, whereas the value of similar materials reported for 1890 is an excess of $37,000,000, The total amount of piece goods is more than 3,000.000,- 000 square yards, almost enough to cover an area of thirteen square miles and more than enough to encircle the earth sixty-eight times. The importance which the manu- facture of cotton has assumed is oneof the striking facts developed. Substantially the whole supply of spool thread is now both spun and finished in the United States. When the St, Louis Cotton Exchange pro- tested against Statistician Dodge's predic- tions and uncalled-for remarks on cotton suppliesin his extravagant crop estimates, that body met witha great deal of opposi- tionand a great dealof ridicule from the commercial trade, especially the grain deal- ers. Since then there has been a decided change in opinion. These monthly reports of the Government on the crops of this country have become such a dis- turbing factor to speculative and legitimate trade that the advis- ability of discontinuing them is growing more and more apparent. On the day fol- lowing the latest bureau report the PostT- DISPATCH noted the fact that this report of Statistician Dodge lost this country over night $8,700,000 in the value of wheat, $16,650,- 000 in corn and $4,000,000 in oats, and asked why it would not be a good thing to eliminate this crop report altogether. The Northwestern Miller in its latest issue takes this matter up and goes for Mr. Dodge as hard and fast as did Mr. Corbett the late and only John L. It says: For the doubtful privilege of having Statistician Dodge guess at the condition of their crops, the people of the United States on Tuesday last paid the modest sum of $7,500,000. This may appear to be rather an exorbitant figure for the services of even so ornamental and worthy a personage as Mr. Dodge, but that the price named was under, rather than over, the loss occasioned by his last report, is a fact which cannot be gainsaid. Secretary Rusk may fume and storm and Statistician Dodge may rival the fretful por- cupine in his indignant denials, but truth is truth and facts are facts, and bare truth and absolute facts are these: That by his report, based on mere guesswork, Statistician Dodge reduced the price of wheat fn the United States on last Tuesday in the sum of $7,500,000. While we are aware that Secretary Rusk does not possess more than ordinary ability, and therefore cannot be expected to do any very profound thinking on the subject, we should suppose that the simple object lesson pre- sented by the course of last Tuesday’s wheat market would be so direct and convinc- ing that it would penetrate even his dull comprehension and show him, forcible and emphatic manner, Dodge should, for the sake of the people who pay this tremendous price for his services, be permanently prevented from any further repetitions of this most disastrously mis- chievous performance, We speak as we do of the secretary’s limited capacity for mas- tering business propositions, not in a spirit of criticism, but in a spirit of truth, regretting that it 16 60, but yielding to no one in our admiration of his courage, honesty and backbone. There is sucha thing, however. as being coura- geous and steadfast in the wrong direction, and shoving too much backbone in defense of what is indefensible. With all due defer- ence to Secretary Rusk, we must insist that in continuing to permit Statisticlan Dodge to prey upon the wheat raiser and handler at the rate of $7,500,000 per prey, he is pushing his quality of stubbornness to a dangerous degree. =} From the Street. Geo, Frecker, with Haueisen & Lang, met with a painful accident a few days ago in falling off a streét car and will be laid up for some time, * „ * A Chicago house is running a fruit and produce auction company of their own and have been selling Michigan peaches, Ohio and New York grapes, ba- nanas and similar goods. not sold by the two fruit auction companies right along. This is a new feature of the auction business, but whether it will prove successful or not remains to be seen. New York grapes have been selling al week much lower in Boston than in St. Louis. The auction-room catalogues received here daily show that Concords have been selling right along at 170 to i8c per basket and the commission for selling together with freight charges had to come off these figures, so that the net proceeds were widely different from those secured here. St. Louis isa great mar- ket for the New Yorkers. 1 * * The celery traffic has grown to large oe portions here and is still growing. ed Gerber, who has been heretofore absorbing the title of ‘‘celery king, according to the evidence of two other big concerns on the street, who are now receiving it by the car load, is not in it. However, the most in- — feature of the business that has ap- ared to Fred was the big sign erected ately by a rival concern ia the same block, which proclaimed theirs the only celery house in the world.. K * * = Geo. Davies returned last Friday minus his whiskers. It is reported he will go in busi- noe again and endeavor to redeem self and credit in the estimation of the trade. »Tis whispered about town that the late Mer- chants’ Fruit Auction Co, will live again, and that Porter Bros.

It seems to be an unsettled ques- tion whether or not this town will su with each other ti treed od apt ror a short through: unfavorable wea 8 frosts were foll ge portion of russetts, which are set down at 60 to 65 cent of the It is therefore : t choice oranges will not bea on the market at any time between now and next spring. = * = The past week was not as replete with losses and disappointment to the leading operators in the grape market asin the pre- vious week. Fortunately for them the re- ceipts averaged light and a small margin was made on 8 car that came in. However, Monday and Tuesday do not promise so well, as a good many are on the way and Monday’s receipts are predicted as potas probably too liberal to be profitable. The healthy condt- tion of the market the past few days has led the dealers to ordering more freely again. A few cars came in from Ohio, but that State is making her final shipments for the season and New York will have control of the mar- ket hereafter till the close of the season, three weeks hence. * — * The apple traffic has not been as satisfac- tory to the wholesale dealers during the past two weeks as it might have been. Indeed, some severe losses were visible on several carlots placed on the street—especially in some of the fruit from Canada. A number of cars from thé East were also sold at a loss to somebody. Considerable of the fruit has be- come too mellow to let the buyers and inves- tors out whole. The receipts were mainly from Canada, Massachusetts and Michigan. Afew cars came also from Western New York, during the past few days, but like most of the others, were too ripe and melted down too fastafter reaching here. The weather East and West has been too warm for the fruit. a * „ The Minneapolis Produce Bulletin points with pride to the heavy receipts of grapes offered in that market last week, which, it asserts, exceeded 20 cars. St. Louis received during the same week 81 cars grapes, 60 of them coming in the first three days of the week. It was, however, the largest week’s receipts here on record and at least 20 cars more than could have been profitably han- dled. The grape regions in Western New York have not over three markets where more of their grapes are received and dis- posed of. During the same week upwards of 20 cars California fruit came in, the offerings including a large amount of grapes. It is something of an enigma to many of the deal- ers where all this fruit goes to. The condition of 'the game market has given rise to any amout of comment among dealers and others interested. The receipts at this time of the year were never so light and the offerings throughout the season wil doubtless be the smallest on record from present indications. Asaresult prices are away up—indeed, the highest known to the trade in this city, and a very urgent demand exists daily atthe figures ruling. There is also a good outside order trde, for quail and grouse especially, but it usually remains unfilled owing to the scarcity of birds. Kan- sas, Which for years furnished the bulk of the grouse offered here, isnot shipping any at all this year and other fields have to be re- lied on, mainly Nebraska, for the toothsome prairie chicken, — — * A grape buyer: When Mr. Martin, the man- ager of the big grape combine of Western New York, was here a month ago he outlined for me the scheme by which the former gluts in the market here could be avoided. He stated that their plan and purpose was to protect the commission merchants and buyer as wellas the grower and shipper. Former- ly, he stated, when a dozen different associa- tions were selling here nobody knew what was coming and a broken market was fre- quently the rule. Now, he added, we will inform the buyer how many cars would be started for St. Louis that day, so that if the receipts were too heavy forthe market he could avoid purchasing that day and buy when the shipments were light. Now, al- though I have often purchased, I have not been informed ina single instance by either the management there or their local agent here how many cars were ordered that same day or how many started for St. Louls. Asa result the season to date has been the most unprofitable known to the trade. ON THE £&TREET. [The Post-Dispatch gvotatſons are for lots in first hands, unless otherwise stated.

As manufacturers are consum- ing large quantities of the raw material at present and buying according to their needs there has been a fairly active movement here and elsewhere. Holders are free sellers at present quotations, asthe experience of former years has rendered them cautious about taking chances on the future. Several manufacturers who visited the mar- ket during the past week stated that they did not desire to stock up beyond immedi- ate wants until after election, when prospects willbe more clearlx defined. The com- petition to sell territory and Texas wools is keener at the seaboard than in the West, as there are some large consigned lots heid there with instructions to sell as soon as possible at best obtainable prices. Outside of quarter-blood combing and coarser grades, even bright wools are slowof sale, not- withstanding light receipts and comparative small stocks. Among the sales reported to-day was a lot of 62 sks Texas fall clip and another of 60 sks Texas spring clip on p. t. MISSOURI, ILLINOIS, ETC.

CHIcaco, III., Oct. 15.—Wheat made a drop of about Me at the opening and a further de- cline of about 4c toward the end. Rain and heavy receipts caused the weakness, but, if the information contained in a letter to Geo. A. Seaverns is borne out by subsequent facts, the heavy receipts in the Northwest are not likely to hold up much longer. Corn was weak for near months and weak for May de- livery. Nov. corn is hc higher and May ue Provisions were very dull, but firmer at some improvement in price. The rain which had falien in the night, al- though very partial throughout the winter wheat region, was accepted as making the términation of the drouth and the precursor of more to come. That was ono reason tor the obening weakness, but perhaps the most influentiai matter In the early news was the heavy re- ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth, and eighty- three car loads more here than were estl- mated yesterday. Minneapolis got 689 cars and Duluth 495, making a total of 1,134, against 827 on the corresponding day 0 last year. Shortly after the opening Minneapolis wired that receipts there and at uluth on Monday, would amount to over 2,000 car loads. Olosing prices were: December 754ec sellers, and May 80 T in the cause some among ho had deen selling November corn short during the dry spell in the expectation of a heavy movement of new corn in that month. November which closed yesterday at 424%c, an started with a sale or two at that price this morning, was soon after the opening up to ue. November closed aue, May 45%c.

Then the price declining and continued i until the market 338580. Receipts were 246 cars, only 35 of which were good enough to be delivered on con- tract. Shipments were 17,950 bu.

It was described as a packers’ and scalpers’ market and dull, without ary other observable feat- ure. —ů— pork was higher and was easily advanced Ihc over last night’s price, but on an attempt to realize on the advance all but se of the early gain was lost.

_ hey Propose to Cut Off the Profits of mme Miadiemen—Jobbers Out of a Job ss The Lesson Taught by the New Turn in Trade—The Day’s Transac- tions in Stocks. | Brew Yorks, Oct. 15.—All pusiness men were in the report that the five great goods jobbing houses of this city had de- to combine in cutting the commissions to their salesmen. The reason assigned this was that the profits of the business not justify the payment of the old com- fis. The report seems to have been un- ded. Atleastthe heads of the houses mtioned deny it strenuously. They admit, wevor, that they have already comdined some extent, appreciating that compe- n was eating up all their profits. Some ths ago they made an agreement ou dis- trates, dating of bills and other im- ut matters of competition. This must te achange of conditions, and hence home to every bread-winner. in the unity. For these changed conditions affect other trades besides this one. The primary significance of this move seems be that it is another step towards that ination which experience and judgment | convince us must be the tendency -@Very business. But why have these s, which formerly prospered under petition, been compelled to combine? character of the dry goods trade has ged rapidly with the increase of the fa- es for commerce with which sclence has essedus. The tendency of the times, re- pulting from these increased facilities, is all foward the abolishment of the middleman. Just as President McLeod, in whose fertile apoleonic brain the Reading coal combina- tion frst came into existence, proposes to do way with the middlemen in the anthracite g0al trade, and deliver coal direct from the mpany’s yards to the smail retailer, nd even to the small consumer, so 18 the law of evolution acting in the dry ‘trade, bringing the manufacturer and e consumer nearer together, and squeezing t the jobbers; who are the middiemeén.

Most ofthe profit taking by weak bull operators happened yesterday aiternoon, 80 thata quiet and firm market was left for to- day. Prices in generai experienced little change. Ohicago Gas and Western Union, both of which stocks have distinct and Intel ligent points in their favor, advanced again, and both Reading and New England were strong. New England rallied a full point on the promise of its backers that in one or two days at the latest they would ‘‘dissolve their mystery. t will de wise not to delay too long, for the daily pumping of wind into rumor’s ex- hausted lungs is fast growing tiresome, How- ever the company’s transfer books are to close fon Tuesday. Silver bullion ran up nearly 1 cent more, on a fairly active busi- ness. Thereisapparently an organized ef- fort on foot to create a speculative furor over the metal and the international con- ference is of course the trump card in the all previous conferen- resulted in a good bowing and scraping, and the saying of many complimentary things about its usefulmess and value, the move- ment is rhaps not as foulish as it looks. To-day’s further reduction in bank reserves, although fully anticipated, will probably tend to encourage lenders of money in hold- ing out for stiff rates. The present time money market is peculilar and is. in reality, governed almost wholly by sentiment. A general belief has for some time existed among city banks that time money ought to be higher. There has been no changein condition suf- ficient to justify such belief; indeed, since the stoppage of gold exports, the logical ten- dency has on the whole been the other way. Stocks have, to be sure, xrown somewhat more active, anditis possible that lenders are reckoning on further demand for accom- modation in that direction. But even this is properly offset by the large transfer of for- eign credits to our loan market, the antici- pated return of interior country shipments and the prospect of later imports of gold. Hence the problem becomes interesting, whether in the absence of an actual and ex- tensive bull movement in stocks, it will be possible for lenders to keep rates on their present basis. That they are confidently hela now, however, there can be no doubt. Such longtime loans as are known to have been made at6 and 54% per cent, will be found in practically every instance to have been ex- ceptional transactions between banks and favored customers.

Chicago, for instance, has assumed that function forali the great ter- ritory about it. One proof of this is the fact that each year the movements of currency to and from the West in the fail and winter are matters of less relative importance. Each season a ater proportion of the money shipped to 9 5 kae interior lodges in the West, and returns N mo further than Chicago. in which latter Ae lace it is kept until the next movement into - the interior.

The present bicycle sulky is fnounced by those best calculated to know. a makeshift. It com- bines the wooden thills of the old-time sulkies with the steel wheels and pneumatic tires of the bicycle. The wheels are so low that only an excessive curvature of the thills compensates for an up-hill pull. True, a sulky could be ordered to fit a fourteenora gixteen-hand horse, but it would not bea perfect vehicle for all-sized animals. Mr, Bonner’s new sulky presents the first complete bicycle sulky. It is constructed entirely of tubular steel of the finest quality and temper. The thills are lighter than the present wooden ones, and possess far greater strength. It is designed to place on the axies 42:iInch wheels with ball-bearings, pneumatic.tires, and all the improvements found in the most perfect bicycles. The novelty of these wheels and their connection to the axle is they are adjustable. A simple device enabies the operator to raise or lower the framework of the sulky, corresponding tothe height of the horse, thus giving him at all times a direct line of draught. It will therefore be seen that Mr. Bonner will have a sulky which he can use for all of his horses, and that it will be perfect in respect to size. THE SHIFTING SEAT. Probably the most important feature is an arrangement by which the driver may shift his weight at will. The seat is adjustable, sliding backward and forward as desired, and is controlled by a lever which passes up between the driver's legs and is operated by his knee. The advantage ofthis is obvious. When the animal needs steadying the weight may be applied, but when he is going full and free, reaching out for the record as Sunol will do shortly, the driver may so balance his weight that the horse will feel almost free as far as any pressure across his back is concerned. This is, briefly, Mr. Bonner’s surprise, and the writer regrets that the citcumstances prevent his going further into detail. COLUMBUS KNOCKS OUT THE TALENT. The ‘‘talent’’ had aspirited five-round go with Columbus the past week and was put to sleep, figuratively speaking, and has not as yet fully recovered.

The local base ball season came to a close out at the Polo Grounds during the week and it is pretty safe to say thata big majority of base ball patrons are glad of it. People were weary of the sport, whicb has been more or dious and uninteresting throughout the season. There is some talk of the New York and Brookiyn clubs playing a series of es for the local championship. The ad- ‘Vice don't seems to be the most generally Applied. The best way now. it is said, to stimulate interest in the game is to give the public a much needed rest. TURKEY DAY FOOT-BALL. Yale and Princeton foot-ball managers are ust now wrestling with the problem of se- ecting a ground forthe annual Thanksgiv- ing Day match. Itis a ‘‘toss-up’’ between the Manhattan field, Polo grounds and East- ern Park, Brooklyn.

During the week, Champion Corbett has found time to leave his play-actingand talk Might. He declines to notice Goddard or Fitz- simmons orf their challenges. He says that Goddard is not in the front rank of pugt- Hism and has no right to claim the champhionship. Fitzsimmons is not, he says, in his class, and has no intention of fighting him, When the proper time comes Oorbett says he will make Mitchell fight or ola his peace, and in the event of Mitchell declining to meet him he will issue a chal- lenge to fight any man in the world, Jsckson referred. He considers Jackson next to imself. The young champion insists that he whipped Jackson in their battle but was robbed of victory. He says he can whip Jackson. ; CHOXNSKI A FAVORITE. It now looks as if Choynski would bea big favorite over Godfrey in the forthcoming Might. The odds have until recently been on the latter, but alot of Choynski money has been sent on, and an even game is the best to be had now. Warren Lewis wants to play Choynski for a few thousand, but he wants to 4 The sports around the up-town hotels are satisfied with even money. The fight promises to bethe best ever given un- der the auspices of the Coney Island Club. AMONG THE FLYERS. There is but little work being done with the horses, as many of them are already out of training. Some of the trainers will send gome of their horses to Washington. A very small per centage will tracks. There is but little news to be ob- tained. There is a newracing venture, backed by wealthy men, that has taken up the fight with Guttenburg. Aracing association has been formed that will have a mile ck with all necessary nildings ated between two lines of ‘railroad hat will have facilities for carrying its pa- rightup to the grandstand. As the new track will be in Hudson County inter- esting developments are likely to ensue, even a racing law was enacted in New Jersey, as ere will be five race tracks within twenty miles of Jersey City. A fight for dates is sure to take place should racing be made a lexit- te business in New Jersey. It is possible ‘that racing will begin by Dec. 1. : THE WHEEL, GLORIOUS WEATHER—NEWS AND COMMENTS— .

But this state of t will be short lived, as November, after the second week or so cannot be trusted. Many inexperienced wheelmen are of the opinion that the cycling season ends with October. In this they are very much mistaken, as in autumn, when the gin to breathe the fine crisp air of November, and sometimes nearly up to Christmas, the roads are dry and fine and cycling is at its best. Hare and houn chases awheel became very popular here in past seasons, and they will doubtless be again inaugurated as soon as the cold weather sets in. , CYCLING CHAT. W. A. Shockley of Chicago is in the city. F. A. Ball of Chillicothe was among last week’s visitors. Harding ana Tidd have returned from Fort Scott well loaded with prizes. All the roads around St. Louis are deep in dust andthe attendance on runs suffers in consequence. A mixed match raceis spoken of between Sanders ana Wolzendorf of the Cycling Club to take place to-day. Nutting parties are among the novelties which are attracting quite a number of wheelmen and the carrying capacity of the safety is severely tested. f Runs to-day: Cytling Club will have a cross-country run and will dine at Point Breeze; South Sides run to Columbia, III., via Davis street ferry, starting at 8a. m. The paperchase, which is to be arranged for Thanksgiving Day, is assuming big pro- portions and the various committees to take charge of the arrangements will be appointed next week. All but one of the tournaments on the West- ern Circuit were financial faliures. Jackson- Ville had to face a big deficit and it is re- ported that Evansville lost over $800. The racing was first-class and as all the affairs were well advertised the managers cannot account for the small gate receipts. A great deal of interest is now being taken in the big Chicago tournament on Oct, 21, and a party is being organized tg see the horse versus wheel contests. The South Sides held a rousing meeting last Tuesday, at which nine new members were admitted and other important business transacted. The club now has thirty-eight members and the limit will soon be reached. After the meeting the members present were treated to a fine supper by the club’s steward. The annual election of the Missouri Di- vision, L. A. W., is on, and the following are candidates: Chief Consul, A. Davis, Robert Hohn, St. Louis; Vice-Consul, J. P. Sidwell, Kansas City; Secretary-Treasurer, L. Douglas, Columbia; Representatives, G. M. Wilder, W. P. Laing, J. R. Bettis, St. Louis; C. F. Johnson, Aurora; F. J. Row- land, Springfleld; W. L. Hyer, Warrensburg; W. M. Jaccard and E. P. Moriarity, Kansas City. The Illinois Division, L. A. W., is out with a new road book compiled by L. W. Conkling and C. L. Steen. It contains sixteen sec- tional maps, showing the best cycling roads and their condition. The lower half ofthe State is very incompletely reported. Last Sunday’s runs were well attended and greatly enjoyed by all the participants. The south Sides rode to Belleville via the rock road and returned via. Millstadt and Cahokia. ‘This is the first cycle run ever held over the latter road, which abounds in fine scenery with but few hills. The Springfield Bicycle.Club has decided to spend part of the money made at its recent tournamentin founding a library. A new bowling alley will also be built. ‘Ihe club has decided to present to the riders on its team some token of its appreciation and ſt Is said that Tyler will be the recipient ofa watch and chain. umsden says Johnson rides like a horse and ras no sprint towards the close. This seems natural enough when one recalls the fact that Johnson has been trained on a trotting track, timed and handled by-horse- men and paced by a horse besides. Jupiter Piuvius evidently has no use for the wheelman as on every occasion be it parade or race meet he hasspolitthe arrangements by opening the flood gates. Last Iriday’s rain kept many wheelmen away from the Exposition who had promised to attend. As usual the South Sides had the largest delega- tion present. Riders as a rule object against small tracks, but H. A. Dozier thinks thatthe small track isthe thing for cycle racing. It givesthe spectators more pleasure for their money and the pian is a success at Louisville. A track of this kind will probably be bullt ‘at Cleve- land for electric light racing. On Wednesday the semi-annual meeting of the Cycling Club will be held and the club will act on a proposed by-law introduced by Geo. Wilder, abolishing des and initiation fees for lady members and allowing them to hold appointive offices. A number of the members are opposed to the change and it is a question if it will pass. It is said that the wind shield used by Jobn- son in his trials against the records was not at Hrst intended to breuk the wind at all. Johnson admits that the benefit he derived from the screen was considerable, but he denies that it was used ior the sole purpose of breaking the wind. He was in the habit of riding alone to the runner pacing him, but he could not stay near the animal on account ofthe dust and dirt thrown by his hoofs. Hence the screen was devised and formed to serve a double purpose. A reply to letters sent by the National Cyclists’ Union of England on the question of international championships was read from Col. Burdette, President of the L. A. W., at arecent meeting of the English governing body, and it was decided to invite a delegate from the L. A. W. to attend a conference to be held in London during the week ending Nov. 26 next. Chairman Raymond of the facing Board will doubtless be the delegate, go to the winter | COCKED HAT LEAGUE.

Tho Athletic Wonder Will: Not Desert 35 His Old Club. © * aa THE BIG ATHLETIC CLUBS WANT HIM TO WEAR THEIR COLORS. ? ; Fr. Van Renasalear’ Will Hold Him to the Xavier’s—How the Well-Known Pas- tor Occasionally Turns the Tables on the Big Grab- All Organizations—In- teresting Gossip for Athletes. New York, Oct. 15.—When W. Byrd Page made his wonderful record of six feet four inches for a running high jump in 1887 it was almost the universal opinion that the top notch had been reached. Sweeney’s per- formance was a remarkable feat for a lad of 5 feet 8 inches in height, but he accomplished it with an ease and grace bewildering. He isa more natural jumper than Page and is free from the mannerisms which made the Pennsylvanian’s performances ridiculous in spite of their great merit. The athletic world is now speculating which of the big athletic clubs will secure the wonder. No sooner does a small club develop a great ath- lete than he is grabbed by one of the big or- ganizations, which have training tables and other inducements to offer. BWEENEY REMAINS LOYAL. Will Sweeney wear the winged foot or the cherry diamond? It is possible that the Xavier Athletic Association may retain pos- session of its jewel, for there isa powerful influence behind the club namely: The church.“ Father Van Renssalaer of St. Fran- cis Xavier’s@ Church, whose wealth and in- fluence built up the club, isa genuine crank on the athletic supremacy of his creation, and makes no bones of using his pastoral in- fluence to stock his club with athletic talent. In fact he has induced a numberof promti- nent athletes to leave the dig clubs, a case of turn about which was highly relished by those small clubs which had suffered by the grab-all policy of the New Yorks and Manhattans. Sweeney has already shown that he is loyally disposed towards the Xaviers by his rejection of the Columbia College Athletic Club’s invitation to participate inits games. No Xavier ath- letes had been invited untilhe made his rec- ord, when a single invitation was sent to him. His manly reply was that he declined to compete at a meeting at which his club- Mates were ignored. TIMBER TOPPER PUFFER. Fred Puffer’s remarkable improvement in ce he was introduced to the training table’ of’ the Manhattan Athletic Clab is most noticeable. His three championships and his 25 s.\fiat for the low hurdles at the N. C. C. A. r oll and lime phosphate specific. ngers are invariably horrified when he appears for competition, and even the athletes wonder at his stamina. He is one of the best lightweight, all-round athletes in the country, however, and a worthy study for scientists. He has im- proved somewhat in appearance since he donned the cherry diamond and participated in its privileges, and a winter of compara- tive comfort is before him. The prospects were slim before his enlistment, however, for the New Jersey Athletic Clubis a bad organization for athletes too strong to work. TWO BIG EVENTS. The two-mile steeplechase and ten-mile running championships of the Amateur Ath- letic Union at Manhattanfield next Saturday afternoon will be interesting events. Willie Day, Tommy Ooneff, Eddie Carter, Ernie Hjertberg, A. B. George Orton, the Cana- dian, and O’Keefe of the Xaviers, are the principal entries tothe twoevents. Day is the favorite for both, and would not greatly surprise the talent by either dping tbe trick or quitting ignominiously in each, The Jersey man has them all guessing. He'll ‘‘chuck’’ a race in the most courageous manner one day and the next run so gamely and true that the men reviling him for loss of money throw up thelr hats in ngt-to-be repressed admiration. Day is a wonder athletically and morally. MURPHY AT YALE. Mike Murphy, the professional runner now training Yale’s hardy athletes, is not likely to go back to the Detroit Athletic Club next summer as usual. Murphy is too good a man to be allowed to go West, and it is probable that a bi local ciub will grab the great trainer whon Yale gets through with him this time, What Murphy can do is pest known by the champions he has turned out. Witha club like the New Yorks, tor instance Murphy could accomplish wonders with the great amount of athietic talent on hand. In Detroit, Mike has only had a few men to work with, but Owen, Ducharme, Jewett and Luce are diamonds in his coronet. Mur- phy has been anxious to get away from De- troit for some time. THE NEW ALL-ROUND SYSTEM, The annual meeting of the Amateur Ath- letic Union next month will have many im- portant things before it. Foremost is the re- vision of the present all- round systems, the new plan of which was printed some time ago. Itis about time to do away with a sys- tem which permits a fourth man in a compe- tition to win the championship. Another question of importance which should recefve attention is a salaried Secretary. Mr. Sullivan has filled the position since the A. A. U. was organized. He rendered vaiuable services when the unlon was in trouble, devoting time as well as money to bury the old National Association of Amateur Athletes. The A. A. U. treasury is ina healthy state at present and the arduous Office of Secretary should have amodest salary attached toit, just enough to pay for the time involved in looking after the affairs. Mr.Sullivan says he wants no salary but in such a manner itis easy to see he would require no great im- portuning to accept it. = LONGSTREET LOST. — — LOUIS PIGEON SHOT BESTED BY MOSE COLLENBERGER. JERSEYVILLE, III., Oct. 15.—The live pigeon match here to-day at Sportéman Park, be- tween A. K. Longstreet of St. Louis, and Moses Collenberger of this county for a purse of $500, resulted in a victory for Collen- berger. The match was at 100live pigeons each. Five ground traps; American Shoot- ing Association rules, Collenberger shot a ten gauge gun, and Longstreet a twelve uge. Longstreet gave up the match after the shooting at ninety birds each. Collenberger killing eighty out of ninety and Florida sixty-eight. They were good strong country birds and a few duffers. W. L. Crosby of St. Louis, referee; O. W. Parent, Marshall, Mo., scorer. J. E. Hag- erty, St. Louts and Walter Skelly of this city, judges. About 500 people witnessed the match, THE COSTLY TERRAPIN. It Is to Be Very Rare and Expensive This Winter. From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. Kighty dollars a dozen forterrapin! Think of it! The feast of kings and of plebes be- comes the feast of kings alone. And yet itis so. Those who would revel in a dish of diamoad- back the coming season must pos- ‘sess Crossus-like wealth. And why? It is sim because the supply is almost exhausted, is may seem strange almost impossible, toa person who has no closely watched the decline in the supp and corresponding increase in the deman and ofterrapinin the last few years. But to those who have done so the gravest anxiety is felt for the terrapin’s future, The like the oyster, in man's unreason- , is coming dangerously near ex- THE ST. well. In slavery in the same cate the modern h > masters, in selling their ne , often stipu- lated in the contracts that the articles of barter should not be fas, but at figures which, while stiff, were small in comparison with those at which the delicacy is now being sold. This was not because there was any fear then of exhausting the supply, but because those en- gaged in the terrapin business Knew they were dealing with people whose leg could be pulled, and they pulied it. New York alone, of all the social centers, did not cry for ter- rapin. She hates to follow where others lead. so she just kept quiet. But she couldn’t do so long. At a secret dinner given to a select few of Gotham swelldom, a small quantity of the Chesapeake Bay variety, which had been surreptitiously imported for the occa- sion, was eaten. It was cooked by a Mary- land chef, too. The Gothamites surrendered without a struggle. But it would never have done to let sister cities know that New York had fallen in love with something which she had not discovered, so terrapin was eaten patronizingly. spoon, however, it was wor- shiped unqualifiedly on Staten Island. Philadelphia had fallen in line shortly after Baltimore, andthe Western States were not long finding out what a delicious dish they were missing. Paris and London clubs also **‘caught on, and imported Maryland terra- pin and Maryland chefs to tempt the palates of their blase members. The hotel-keepers of the French capital had such a call for it from American visitors that — § too, foundit ald to have the dish serve in home style. ow all the world bows down before the royal diamonda-back. When the demand for terrapin became gen- eral prices went up, but remained within the easy reach of persons of moderate means. Soon, however, the run on the market began to be felt, and at last it had to be admitted that terrapin could not be furnished at rea- sonable rates, Still the call came for it, and, as there were people ready to pay big money, the dealers made extraordinary efforts to ob- tain large supplies from the sources that were rapidly being depleted. The menu card of President Harrison’s ball contained terrapin. It was found that ter- rapin could not be had unless extraordinary efforts were made to obtain it. It had been eaten extensively during Lent, and was scarcer than ever. Dealers in Baltimore and Philadelphia were ordered to secure diamond backs at any cost. They got possession of about all out of water, and then didn’t forget to charge for them, either. It was along about this time that the fisher- men began the methods by which the species is fast being exterminated. Young terrapin or old, without regard to sex, were taken. The male terrapin never gets to be large, and is naturally an Important agent in the prop- agation of his kind. But the fishermen didn’t mind that. They would catch all the terrapin they could, and place large and small ina pen on tbe shore, where the tide would washup occasionally. The law saysno terrapin shall be caught before Nov. 1. Until thattime thecreatures would be Keptin pens. When November arrived they would be shipped to the cities, thin and feverish from their unnatural surroundings. This method is pursued more largely than ever now. Last year 7-Inch terrapins were bringing $60a dozen. The dish very rarely appeared on the bill of fare of any but bon ton hotels, and the quantity of terrapin served was just enough to make one wish for more. Fish dealers do not care to discuss the out- look for the coming season. They say that they do not know whether or not there will be a greater scarcity of terrapin, but admit that, so far, the prospect is not reassuring. One said thatifthe decrease in the supply is as marked as in former years, the first-class — such asitis, will be selling at $80 a ozen, THOSE SHOESTRINGS. They Will Stay Tied If You Follow These Directions. A young woman entered a Broadway shoe store the other day. There was a look of grim determination about her mouth. As one ofthe clerks approdched with a cour- teously expectant airshe planted her foot in front of her with a little deflant stamp. It wasasmall foot. It was wellshod. But it was not trim. It yawned dismally at the laces, which trailed apologetically along the floor. It won't stay tied!“ exclaimed the young woman, in a voice smothered with indigna- tion. I have tied the laces half a dozen times. For the last six blocks they have gone fllppity-fiop, and I can’t stand it any longer. ; The young man dropped on one knee with the ease acquired by long practice. He smiled. Then he said he would tell her the only infallible way of tying shoestrings 80 that they would stay tied. She watched him carefully and left the store with a seraphic expressionand the ight, springy step of perfect confidence. This is what he told her, Every one has some rule for insuringa shoestring-Knot, but most of these ‘little schemes are delusions. The impish little laces work themselves loose with an ease which suggests the agency of supernatural fingers. There are, however, a few ways of manipu- lating the strings which can be pretty surely relied on, and they are worth finding out. One of the simplest is to tle an ordinary double-bow knot, pulling the loops out quite long, and then toretie these loops. It stays in, but makes a thick knot. Another simple and popular method is to pass string No. 2 around loop No. 1 twice in- stead of once befoxe drawing it through the opening. double-bow Knot. Then before pulling it down tight turn loop No, 1 back and pass it through the opening once more. Pull the loops out tight and you will have a knot which will stay by you through the vicissi- tudes of any ordinary day. Still another Knot for which untying it not undying constance is claimed is as follows: Make the first loop as usual, then pass string No. 2 over loop No. 1, ana instead of making the second loop right away put string No. 2 clear through the opening under loop No. 1. bring around again and make the second loop as usual; * This may sound buna, but oy taking the strings and following the directions point by woman will be Able to tis 8 1 A really infallible way is to tie an ordinary point they can be easily understood, and a Tee eee | FREE—A beautiful soc A Department!

SPRINGFIELD, III., Oct. 15.—Uniless an early and amicable understanding is speedily ar- rived at Springfield will be startled by a duel, which possibly may be averted by this jtem of news. Mr. James Furlong, the well- known dry goods merchant, Ughtens the cares of an unusually successful business by an occasional practical joke. Some one of his jokes have come home toroost. One of his most recent instances of his fondness for fun was given at the expense of Mr. Jos. Reisch, the Springfield brewer. Capt. James Burke of Chicago was in Spring- feld recently and at the invitation of Mr. Furlong visited Reisch’s brewery. A day or twolater the announcement was madethat Capt. Burke, agent of a British syndicate, had inventoried Reisch's brewery with a view of purchasing. A num- ber of Reisch's customers, not directly in- terested in promoting the welfare of British syndicates, accepted thereportas true and gave notice that they would transfer their custom. The genial merchant was popular- ly suspected of being the perpetrator of the joke which Capt. Burke and Wm. Keisch had some difficulty in explaining. A day or two ago Mr. Furlong received from Chicago a letter written in French, signed affectionately, ‘‘James Burke.’’ Not wish- ing to admit that he was unfamiliar with the French he took the epistile to a friend, whose attractive wife is thoroughly familiar with the language, and asked that she translate it to confirm his interpretation of some of the Parisian idioms. Next day the irate friend re- turned the fragments of the letter witha notice of a deadly encounter. Bystanders gathered from the — yee charges that the letter in question really contained a declara- tion of love from the genial merchant to the wife of his intimate friend, disguised with an address to Mr. James Furlong, Springfield, III.“, and the affectionate subscription ‘*mes amities James Burke.’’ Mr. Burke has been appeaied to by his oking Springfield friend to set him right but as set him very wrong by denouncing the letter as a forgery and hinting that itis in the disguised handwriting of Mr. Furlong. Those acquainted with that honorable gen- tleman are convinced, even against the ap- pearances, that he isthe victim of a practical joke, possibly a return for some one of the many of his own perpetration, butin the meantime he continues under the distressing r ofa hostile encounter with the usband of the lady who consented to make the translation, which, then off-handedly but now most unfortunately, it was agree should be brought to the store by the gentie- man’s wife the first time she happened to come down town shopping.’’ Mr. Furlong's home county’’ has not yet been heard from, but his friends, who are deeply concerned for the serious turn the affair has taken, hope, at least, tnat he wili be given the benefit of the suspension of judgment fora few days until the mystery can be solved.

THE ITALIAN CITIZENS WILL HAVE A TURNOUT OF THEIR OWN, Unless the General Parade Adopts Their Line of March Columbus’ Countrymen Will Ignore It—Programmes of Both Factions—Exercises of the Public School Children and the G. A. R. There will de two parades on Columbus Day—next Friday- unless certain differences between the Italians and the Oitizens’ Com- mittee are patched up in the meantime, and of that there is small hope, The Italian citizens, headed by Stephen Dellacella, ©. E. Cappellt and others, began making .preparations sometime ago to celebrate the landing of Columbus on Oct. 12, and had announced their arrangements for that date when Presi- dent Harrison issued a proclamation desig. nating Oct. 21 as a holiday in honor of Colum- bus and Gov. Francis followed with a similar proclamation naming the same day as a holl- day. Several leading citizens started a move- ment to celebrate the day befittingly, and the Italian citivéns hearing of it decided to postpone their parade and other ceremonies 60 as to conform to the new arrange- ment, thinking that the entire St. Louis celebration would be placed in their hands. The Citizens’ Committee, however, proceeded to forma plan and disregarded or were not aware of the arrangement already made by the Italian citizens. They consid- ered the Italians only a part inthe grand affair that isto be, they state, and expected them to join in most heartily. The Italians felt hurt at this treatment and at a recent meeting of the citizens’ committee, Mr. Dellacella said thatthe Italians had a programme for Columbus Day,which consisted of the landing of Columbus at the wharf in the morning, a parade on Fourth street and Broadway in the afternoon, and ceremonies at Tower Grove Park at the conclusion of the parade, PATHS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. The committee said it would conform to that plan as nearly as possi bie, but that the line of march must be westwardand have its termination near Tower Grove Park. The line of march as decided on by the Citizens’ Committee is from Twelfth and Pine streets to Grand avenue, north on Grand to either Washington or Easton avenue and countermarch to Grand and Chouteau avenue, where the parade willi disband. Mr. DellaceHa said last night that the Italians would not submit to that plan under any circumstances, and ifit was carried out there would be two parades, as the Italians would certainly follow their line of march on Broadway and Fourth street. An- other incident which seems to indicate that the Italians are in earnest is the fact that Columbus instead of landing in the morning onthe Santa Maria as announced will land at Lo elock in the afternoon ou a steamboat. The Santa Maria, a boat that was to be modeled for the occasion, cannot be finished on time. As the citizens’ parade starts from Twelfth and Pine streets to go west at 20’clock, it will be seen that there 1s aconfiict. The Italian cavalry, which has been drilllediespecially for this event, is to receive Columbus at the river bank, there- fore they cannot take part in the parade. How many societies or companies will participate in the Italian end of the parade is not known, but a large number of sucieties and organizations have announced to Grand Marshal Charles A, Hannauer their intention to participate in the general parade. There is to be a general meeting to-morrow night in court-room No. 2 of the Court-house; when final arrangements will be made for the big event of Friday. At this meeting something may be done to placate the Italtans, but it is uhderstood the line of march will not be changed by the citizens, because the societies will refuse to march on the granite streets whena line of march can be made over asphalt streets as well. It now looks as though the Italians will have a celebration of their own independent of the other citizens. THE CITIZENS’ PARADE( Grand Marshal Hannauer has already made a rough sketch of the order of the parade from the notices sent him by the organiz- ations that are to form it. He has for his adjutants B. E. Spiekerman, Jesse Cunningham, and Arnold Beck, who have had experience in forming parades and who will make an effort to have this parade ex- cel any previous affair of the kind in num- ber and in compactness of cviumn. The sketch outlined by Marshal Hannauer last night is not final and is subject to alteration. The first division will be headed by a platoon of mounted police, followed by Kolb’s mill- tary band of forty pieces, the Grand Marshal. his adjutant and mounted aids from each division and two companies of. militia. Following them will be the mounted division consisting of the German Military Verein, the St. Louis Riders’ Club and the Christian Brothers’ Cav- alry Company. Among theuniformed bodies so far heard from will bethe Knights of St. John, Knights of Pythias, Grand Army of the Republicand Turners. Among the societies of every creed and nationality which have sig- nified their intention of participating are the German Swiss Society, the Catholic Knights of America, Knights of Father Mathew, Christian Brothers’ College students, Frank lin Dramatic Club, Landwenrverein, St. Louis Pfaelzerverein, St. Joseph Benevolent Society, St. Paul's Society, Society of the Church of Perpetual Succor, Har monie Sangerbund and many others. The complete list will be made up to morrow night as many societies have called special meetings for to- day to decide whether they shall take part in the parade as a body. Citizens living along the line of march are expected to decorate their houses with flags and the tri-colored bunting of the United States, and a number have already signified their intention of doing so. Ihe colors for the day will be red, white and blue and the badge will be the flag, surmounted by an eagie. GRAND MARSHAL’S ORDERS. Grand Marshal Charles E. Hannauer has issued an order for the formation of parade and for ali societies that intend taking part in it as follows: The following staff appointments are hereby made; they will be obeyed and respected accordingly. Capt. B. E. Spiekerman, Capt. Jesse Cuohingham Col. Arnold Beck as Adjutants. The formation and line of march will be as follows: Parade will as- semble on Twelfth and Pine streets at 1:30 o'clock p. ; the column will move prompuy at 2 p. m. west on Pine street to and avenue, north on Grand avenue to Olive street, countermarch at Olive street, south on Grand avenue to Chouteau avenue. All associations and societies wishing to participate will report the number that will attend, to the Citizens’ Committee atthe Court house, room No. 2, on Monday, Oct. 17, at 8. p. m. By order of CHas. E. HANNAUER, Grand Marshal. KNIGHTS OF FATHER MATHEW DIVISION.

The Grand Army posts and the public schools are preparing or the celebration of Discovery Day next Friday, The participa- tion of the Grand Army was asked by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the National Columbian Public School celebration of Boston. The body is composea of State Superintendents of Education, who were requested by the Na- tional Educational Association totake charge of the movementto havea universal public school demonstration on the day in question, in order to give prominence to the com- mon school and the fruit of four centu- ties of American life, and in order also to bring before the eyes of the world, ona scale of proper magnitude, what North American civilization owes to free education. The occasion was also to be ism tothe thirteen millions of pupils in the public schools, The committee thought it fitting that this national public school cele- bration should, wherever practicable, be under the patronage of the Grand Army of the Republic. The suggestion was approved by Commander-in-Chief Palmer and the matter, when submitted to the local posts, was heartily approved. Most of the St, Louls post, have formally voted todevote the day to the work asked of them. The programme will vary according to the locality. The committee suggests a morning celebration at the school houses anda gen- eral demonstration in the afternoon. In the morning hour the G. A. R. Comrades are ex- pected to be present and assist in the * and salutation of the fag. The schools wil assemble at9a. m. in their various rooms. At 8:30 the details of veterans or old patrons of the schools are expected to arrive. They will be éscorted to the school yards and the crowd willarrange in hollow square about the flag. The master of ceremonies will read the President's proclamation and then will announce: In accordance with this recom- mendation by the President of the United States and asasign of our devotion to our country let the flag of the nation be unfurled above this school.’’ The comrades will then hoist the flag and as it reaches the top of tue staff they will lead in Three Cheers for Old Glory’’ and will sing ‘‘Rally Round the Flag, Boys.. Then comes the salutation. At a signal from the principal the pupils, in ordered ranks, hands tothe side, face the flag. An- other signal is given;every pupil gives the lag the military salute—right hand lifted, palm downward, to a line with the forehead und close to it. Standing thus, all repeat to- gether, slowly: 1 pledge my allegiance to my flag and the Republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty and jus- tice for all.“ At the words, to may flag. the right hand is extended gracefully, upward, toward the flag, and remains in this gesture till the end of the affirmation ; where - upon all hands immediately drop to the side. Then, still standing, as the instruments strike the chord, all will sing **America’’— My Country, tis of Thee.“ This will usually conclude the exercises, so far as the Grand Army Is concerned, THE GRAND ARMY DETAIL. The commanders of the several posts met at department headquarters yesterday after- noon with Supt. Long aud Mr. W. H. McClain ofthe School Board and agreed todetall com- rades to officiate at the raising of the flag, etc., at the schools, as indicated below: BLAIR POST. .

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Late Wednesday even- ing a man and a woman, respectably dressed and about 30 years old, went to the Hotel Colombo at No. 235 Bleeker street. The man wanted two rooms for himself and com- panion, who, he said, was his murried sister. The proprietor said that he had only one room vacant in which there were two beds. The couple refused to accept the room. Some time after they returned and decided to take the room. They regis- tered as A. Valentine and KE. Lomasci of Syracuse. They paid for their room and nothing was heard from them until Friday moroing, when the servant went to arrange the room. The woman in the room said she would do the work herself. Nothing further was known of the couple until this afternoon when a servant becoming alarmed ai the smell of gas issuine from the room occupied by the Syracuse visitors called a policeman and had the door burst open. The man andthe woman were found dead in the same bed. The gas was turned on, but itis generally believed that it was due to accident. Onthe person of the man was found $26.28, also a gold pen. The woman hada sliver watch and two excursion tickets between New York and Syracuse. On an envelope was the address ‘‘Louts Valen- tine. A brass check was also found in the room on which was inscribed: The Solbage Process Co., 1617 Syracuse. The bodies are vet at the hotel waitingto be cared for by relatives or to be sent to the morgue. A CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT. The American ani Nettie Placed in New Hands. The American and Nettie shows indica- tions of making a better showing in the near future than it has done in the past. For a number of months there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction. in regard to the management of this mine, as the returns were much less than the assays led the stockholders to expect. An examination was made by representatives of the stock holders, and Supt. Bemer’s resignation was tendered and accepted. Work will now be pushed forward as rapidly as possible.

A Confession Introduced in (Court Yes- terday— The Prisoner to Take the Wit- ness Stand To-Morrow— Story of the Lincoln (Neb.) Scandaland Its Tragic Sequel. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 15.—The first week of the trial of W. H. Irvine of Salt Lake for the murder of Banker Montgomery of this city in the dining-room of the Lincoln Hotel last spring closed to-day. It has been extremely sensational in every particular, and the Court-house has been crowded dally, many ladies being present, All the details concerning the manner in which Montgomery poisoned the mind of Irvine’s beautiful young wife against her husband and finally in inducing nner to visit Chicago as his wife cama out in detail. When Irvine discovered the situation by ac- cident be was crazed. While entering the Lincoln Hotel for breakfast he suddenly met Montgomery, who bowed pleasantly. Ir- vine’s reply was to draw a revolver and shoot him through the heart. Mr. Irvine’s con- fession was introduced. It is as follows: “CHICAGO, III., May 24. My Husband, V. H. Irvine: I hereby make the following statement of my own free will and accord. 1 frst became well acquainted with d. E. gomery some three or four years ago. He told you were not treating me right. He me kindly showed atte in act d tor ont- and was dark we + when 90 West to have at you did not love me, but that he di in Fe 1892, on my visit East I stopped at there, at his request.

The prisoner will goon the stand ° He refuses to further draw his wife the affair and says he will hangfirst, | Here are the incidents of the t occurred seen to stand a moment glancing around the room, evidently in search of some one, As his eyes rested upon Montgomery he started toward him. As he did so Montgomery started to rise holaing out his hand, either in token of greeting or gesture of protest. Drawinga revolver from his hip pocket, Irvine raised it and fired two shots point blank at his victim, both shots taking effect near the heart. Montgomery staggered from the table out of the door into the corridor, where he evi. dently tried to reach one of the circular divans near the door, but he fell to the floor infront of it and died without utteringa word. He was picked up and laid on a bed in parlor C. ; In the meantime Irvine had been secured. He made no attempt to resist, but, on the contrary, stated that he wanted to give him- self up. He was greatly excited and asserted that Montgomery Pad outraged his wife in the Curtis Hotel at Chicago on Feb. 6 last and he produceda number of letters and telegra which he declared contained the proote, He then completely collapsed, and is appearance excited the commiseration of all who had witnessed the terrible tragedy. lle was immediately taken to the police sta- tion, where a few friends were permitted to see him, It was some time before he could be calmed, and it was not until he had been removed to the penitentiary that he regained anything like composure. Gossip had, connected the names of Mrs. Irvine and Mr. Montgomery for many years. Mr. Irvine believed that Montgomery had rufned his home and disgraced the honor of hisname. He asserts that Montgomery not only debauched his wife, but that he accomp- lished his purpose by force. C. E. Montgomery, the victim of the shoot- ing, came to Lincoln from Indiana in 1885, and the following year madethis his home, He was about 45 years of age and unmarried. He has had the reputation of being a ladies’ man, and his name has been connected with several incidents of similarcharacter. He has for some time been acting cashier of the German National Bank, of which institution he 1s — President. He Is also à director of the Industrial savings Bank, a stockholder in the Columbia National Bank and in the La- porte (Tex.) syndicate of which he is Treas- urer. He also owns the Montgomery block, the Palace livery barn and several other parcels ofrealty. His wealth is estimated at $300,- His mother resides with a daughter, Mrs. B. H. Polk, at sixteenth and L streets, aud he has two other sisters residing in Lin- coln—Mrs. R. N. Howell, Sixteenth and L, and Mrs. Charles Chambers, Sixteenth and L streets, Mr. Montgomery returned on the morning of the N from La Porte, where he had been on a business trip. He is a stockholder inthe Lincoln Hotel Bo. and ae — 2 gh age He was mar- ed in Indiana some een years a but his wife lived but a few —— . = „ H.

ODD DESIGNS TO BE WORN DURING THE vee PRESENT CAMPAIGN. Written for the SunDay.Post-DIsPATCH. This win be a campaign of aniforms for po- litical clubs allover the United States, and St. Louis has caught the fever to an astonishing degree. In former campaigns only the torch was used by the followers of either party. and torchlight processions might be taken fora demonstration in favor of one candidate orthe other but forthe roughly Grawn or lettered transparencies. A great stride has been made in the past four years for distinctive campaign uniforms and this fall there will be seen some strange and ar- tistic fancies in full dress costumes, In 1888, when the same candidates were in the fleld, the distinctive features were the bandanna handkerchief and ‘‘grandfather’s 1 — 7 3 = eS hn Seo . n 1 \ N Twos — Bous of 1776. hat. The hat will again taxe a prominent place in the costuming of the Republican clubs throughout the country, and will be the distinguishing feature, though there are many others. A campaign Club without a banner is like a regiment without a flag; and as there is no feature of the campaign on either side of the fence which can be illustrated in a ban- ner, both parties have adopted the flag of the nation, with its forty-four stars and thirteen stripes. Never before has there been such a demand for silk flags,torch flags, Y -, — a> * The Pioneer. cane flags, handkerchief flags, flag buttons and transparencies.

THE MEDICAL SOCIETY. The Evening Passed in Discussing Cases Presented by Members. The St. Louis Medical Society met last night inthe School Board assembly room in the Polytechnic building, with Dr. W. B. Dorsett in the chair and Dr. J. O. Guhman as secre- tary. Dr. Heine Marks reported a case of cancer ofthe stomach, which exhibited un- usual symptoms, and a specimen of the anatomy in the case was submitted for ex- amination. Dr. Dorsett reported!a case in St, Louis County which possessed a pecular feature. He had been called in consultation by Dr. Smith, the patient being a 17-year-old girl, who had all the symptoms of typhoid fever. A piece of cotton cloth eight inches long by one and one-half inches wide was found, Dr. Dorsett stated, under conditions which indicated that it had been discharged from the system ofthe patient. The family stated that it wastwo years since similar cloth had been in the house. The two ends of the cloth were tied in a double Knot, causing the string to present the appearance of an impromptu rter. The question was, was the girl suf- ering of the disease indicated by the symp- toms or was her condition caused by the cloth. The doctors present did not credit the latter theory. Dr. F. D. Mooney exhibited a tumor ofan unusual character, which he had re- cently removed froma young married woman who had been suffering since she was 16 years old. The patient, who is now —— nicely, is 24 years of age. He also exhibite two other specimens of abnormal substances removed from two female patients. A Faithless Spouse. CLINTON, Mo., Oct. 15.—Mrs. J.

The Lotto Portrait Severely Criticised by an Expert. — * ‘ WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The selection of the alleged to have deen painted by Lorenzo Lotta at Grenada in 16512 1s ‘‘ficti- tious, unauthenticand imaginary,’* forthe following reasons: irst. Lorenzo Lotto never visited Spain at that or any other time, and not a Single painting by him can be found in any museum or private collection in that country. Second. the portrait referred to could not have been taken from life in 1612, because the discoverer of America died in 1606 (20th of Third. The figure bears no resembiance whatever to the description given by eye witnesses, friends and contemporary histo- rlans, who knew Columbus personally and intimately—such, for instance, as his illegiti- mate son, Fernando, Oviedo, Bernaldez, Las Casas, Antonio de Marchena, Juan Feres and others. Fourth, That the individual represented holds a map of Brazil, discovered 1500 by Alvarez Cabral, when Colum- bus was a prisoner at Santo Domingo and who could not have known anything about that new country then nor after, for the map referred to was engraved and published for the first time in 1508 or 1509, two or three years after the death of the great Genoese at Valladolid. Moreover, it must be remembered that his populari lasted but a few months, inas- much asthe results of his three expeditions did not realize the anticipations entertained by Ferdinand and Isabella, nor by the span- jards in general. It was expected that the caravels would return laden to the water’s edge with gold nuggets, precious stones, slik stuffs, spices and Cathay and the Indies. Instead ot rich re- turns the expenses of fitting out these expe. ditions were much greater than the profits, and the disappointment was so bitter thata reaction took place againt the ‘‘foreigner’’ who had deceived those who trusted him. It was certainly not under those circumstances, and when he was tn disgrace, that any artist would have cared to paint the likeness of Columbus. In conclusion the Government of the United States in approving the adoption of that portrait, which is no more entitled to such distinction than fort fifty other ‘‘counterfeit presentments’’ of the great admiral in bronze, in marble or on canvas, scattered all over Europe and America, lends itself tothe perpetration ofa deception upon 5,000,000 pegsons who shall be induced to y a heavy premium for that souvenir half dollar, which will bear upon Its face the almost grotesque effigy of the man who is being honored now in Spain and in this conn” with ceremonies worthy of his immortal fame, Love vs. Duty.

WASHINGTON, D. d., Ot. 15.—Ih view of the malicious falsehoods again being circu- ' fated by Republican campaign speakers and writers regarding sx.

Among the latter Were twenty-four cases which for many years had lain u tue filés of the Pension Office unacted upon and apparently un- noticed by succeeding Republican adminis- trations. Twelve of that number were Vetoed by President Cleveland. When Gen. John G.

Nine of these claims were allowed in the next few months after the tO, and the others were subsequently It may not be generally understood pension granted under a special act of stan only commence from the day esident signs the bill. | Vetoes were based upon the ground that sertion and dishonorable discharge étained\the military records of theclaimants. Nine cases of this character passed Congress When Gen. Grant was Président, but F promptly vetoed everyone of them. One Veto, im the dase of a claim of a de. pendent father, was sent in for the reason that the claimant had abandoned his son in infancy and never knew of his death until several years after the war. Another bili covering a case of the same natute Was vetoed because the father had deserted his family many years prior to the war and had left them to shift for themselves. And stili another of the same Class was vetoed on the ground that the father was in no sense devendent, but, on the contrary, was rich... Under the law a father was only entitled to a pension where it was shown that lie was dependent upon the son at the time of the latter’s death. Ten Vetoes were based upon the ground that reports of boards of examining surgeons showed the expectant beneficiaries to have been in receipt of rates Of pénéioh com mensurate with the degrees of their existing disability. There was no good reason why these ten men should have been singied out to receive a higher rate of pension than thousands of others disabled in like degree. President Grant vetoed three bills, all of this class. Twenty ve other bills were vetoed because the applicants were not inthe military ser. vice at the time they incurred their disa- Dllities and in early all of thé cases it was shown by the records of the War Depart. nt that the disabilities existed long prior to army service. bHbignteen of the bills werfe vetoed because the reports of Boards of Examining sur- s showed that that claimants had no exisitiiig disability froth the causes alleged, aud nineteen more were veoted on the ad that the expeeetant benefictaries deserters. -TWo bilis of this class were sent to President Grant and his veto quick- ly followed. „ Kighty bills were vetoed on the ground that there was n connection between the sol- diers’ deaths and their military services and in every single case there was an entire and conceded absence of proof or présuniption of afiy such contiection. Indeed, ofe of the ap: plicants (a widow) admitted that prior to her marriage to the soldier she had married anotber, who she-could only say she believed “to be dead. The bills designed to benefit al- leged widows were vetoed because it was shown that the women had remarried, @Ases Were vetoed because they were duplicates of bills which had been passed by the same Congress and signed by President Cleveland, and two others were vetoed be- Sade te were duplicates of bills that had been vetoed only a short time before for ex- cellent reasons.

LINCOLN, III., Oct. 15.—One week ago to- day, about 10:30 or 11 o’clock, Mrs. Rudolph Séhimidt left the house of Ira Edgell, met her husband on the walk, was heard quarreling with him, entered their house and from that day to this has not been seen. A woman of the town, Uving two houses west of Schmidt’s premises, is authority fora statement which deserves attention. According to this woman’s words, she was out os late as 1 o’ clock pe A Ne a lane éast or south of itizens Shatt where the weeos are s0 15 that one can hide easily. Her story is to the effect that at about he hour named, she in 8 of a man of milf met or saw Schmidt with a spring wagon going south. She says she will not tell who the man was unless she is compelled to. To a certain extent the woman who claims to have met Sclimidt, tells thé truth, for it transpires that Schmidt was out that night. Officer Jas. Moore clearly remembers meeting him. He wus walking with the aid ofa can held his head down and when acéost the officer about ga.m. began tocry and said he could not sleep because his wife was gone. The Saturday evening revious Officer Moose ordered him home to prevent & guarrel with Bigenibrodt, the ricklayer, a former boarder inthe family, met him and accused the bins i a r ihe, che the bill “4 hee amen ast the or 141 75 Schmidt havih bricklayer of things which he vehemently and indignantiy denied. The story of the spring-wagon caused a careful inquiry to find where thé Wagon came from. Nolivery man had rented one, so the next belief was 727 it must have been obtained in the — hbérhood. An old colored man, Thomas erson, has such A Wagon, and when 1 reporter asked Mrs. Jefferson if her hus- band was out that night, or had loaned a rig to schmidt, shé indighantiy denied the ques- tion, and volunteéred the information that Mrs, schmidt was dead, When questioned a 18 the correctness of the statement, she sai that on Friday night or Saturday her hus- band heard Schmidt dquarreling with his wife, and that Schmidt uttered the excla- mation, **You want me to kill you!’’ Mrs, Jefferson sal she dreamed schmidt com- the deed and had the body bedroom Ooceiipied the 4 favorable opportanity removing and burying it in an obseufée place. Since the disappear- ance of Mrs. Sehmidt a man has been seen rowling on other rl of nignuts. hmidt is up at Pry ay ours and has become offended at nei avers for permitting their wells to be drauged, and long before a word was said agains him rélat that he was suspected of Killing ner. Within eight hours of her alleged flight Schmidt notified Police Ofigef Wershéy that she was gone, erhaps dead, and that he wanted her ound,.also that zue had hled and he wanted her to return and take het clothes, Only one motive can de round for the erime, if one has been committed, and that Is jealousy. The place where schinidt and wife lived was in Mrs. Schmidt’s name. If she contemplated leaving she could have obtained a nice sum for her teres. There are several nice dresses, a new pair of shoes, pittufes and other articles. If she con- templated fil@ht she would have certainly taken her personal effects. The more the case is cotisidered and euVostinntod the more criminating it becomes. The woman is 33 years of age and fair 3 Wulle her hus - band is many years Older.

Uneole Anse Retires Them for the Winter With a Coat of Whitewabh=Ooniiskéy Uneerks a Phenomenon All Tod Late —Results of Yesterday’s Games—How the Season Wound Up. KANSAS City, Mo., Oct. 15.—8t. Louis and Chicago closed their championship -season here to-day in the presence of about one U people, having been paid $809 to transfer the last game to this city. The day was chilly and cloudy and this materially re- duced the attendance and caused John W. Spears the loss of ab out $250. The game was almost entirely a pitchers’ battle, though the St. Louis boys tried hard to make it a comedy of errors in the first in- nlug and every one expected to see a poor game. They braced up, however, and the rest of the game was as fine a one as was ever seen in this city. Young Hawley made a brilliant reeord for himself by his twirling and had he been well supported he would have shut out the Ohi- cagos without a sign of a hit. Caruthers, an old favorite in this city, solved Hutchin- son’s curves easily, making three hits out of four times at bat, but he was the only one who could do anything with the ex-collegian. The fielding of Crooks, Dahlen and Dungan was on the phenomenal order, but outside of these three nothing out of the regulation was indulged in. In the first inning, with two men out, Genins made a wild throw ofa hot grounder from Dahlen's bat, Moriarity then muffed a fly for Old Anse, and on Ca- ruthérs’ muff of a throw to put Dungan out at first, Dahlen scored what proved to be the only run of the game. Three times St. Louis had men on third, but Hutchinson and sharp felding prevented the ‘scoring of the run needed to tie. The score: CHICAGO. Sr. LOUIS. 20.

The most sensational feaiuré of the game was a wonderful one- handed catch by Duffee that deprived Tucker ofa home run. There were about 600 ‘‘regu- lars’’ present and those on the bleachers, besides guying the home players for their miserable work, kept up a running fife of re- marks as to what they would do whenthe snow was fiying.

CLAIM MADE THAT. DEMOCRATIC LITER- ATURE 18 BEING WITHHELD. / — > Unless It Is Prepaid It I8 Not Forwarded, But No Such Restriétion Is Placed on Republican Campaign Reading Matter —The Companies Say the Republican Committee Has Guaranteed Payment. Claims are made by Democrats that they have information from inside sources that a number of expféss companies. not only in Missouri, but throughout the United States, have concocted a scheme to prevent the cir- culation of literature sent out to Democratic clubs and private individuals by Democratic headquarters and com. mittees selected for the purpose of distributing Demiocratic literature. The main reason, it 1s clatmed, is to further the interest of the national ticket of the Re- publican party throughout the county and of Maj. Warner in Missouri by withholding all literature sent out by Democratic organiza- tions to committees and individuals selected for the purpose of distributing such literature, unless each and every package is prepald. For several weeks past complaints have been been received from all over the county from private individuals and Démocratic or- ganizations, it is aVerred, to the effect that literature supposed to have been shipped to them had not reached its destination, aud inquiry has been made as to the cause. THE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATES, Learning from what they deemed a reliable source that all campaign documents ex- pressed to Republican clubs had not been detained, whether prepaid or not, certain members of the State committee becanie suspicious and an investi- gation was made yesterday afternoon by ur. Al Monroe, a representative of the commit. tee. He was told that Mr. H. A. Mofsman, General Agent of the Pacific Express Co. in St. Louis, had caused ordérs to bé read to the receiving and shipping clerks and all em- ployes of the Pacific Express Co. in authority to handle and receive express packages, to forward no literature to Democratic clubs or organigations unless the package or packages were re- paid, Mr. Morris called upon Mr. L. A. Ful. ler, the general manager of the Pacific Ex- press Co., to ascertain if any literature sent out by the Democratic heatquarters of Mis- sour! had bese detained on account of the charges not haVitig been prepaid, and if such was the case how long such packages had been detained. Mr. Fuller was notin whe Mr, Yarrow called, but a representative of of the company informed him that 80 far all packages sent out by the Democratic head quarters had been expressed, regardless of express charges so far, but it was the rule of the company in Cases df this kind to have all express packages Of zuch a nature prepaid, as * times they were not oe. pat PANIES WANT TO BE P ne W we t on to state that the ‘Republican State Committees bad given Mr. Fuller a uarantee letter holdin 2 . en or all unclaimed the Demoure ic State ot mentee Would be othe same thing cS 1 aith and to tect th eatin ot 8 stated that he ad several calls at the Democratic Sta 5 but on no occasion haa he been 0 see eithor Ohairman 2 W.

Jockey Grace rode two winners yesterday. St. Mark and Florence Slaughter will both Start in to-morrow’s handicap. The foreign book was hit hard yesterday by the success of Aloha in the third race and Helen Nichols in the fourth race at West- chester. P. Weber’s stable will return to the East St. Louis Jockey Club track next week from California, where the stable has been run ning since the Denver meeting closed. Jockeys Johnnie and Charlie Weber, two of the best light-weight riders in the West, will return with the stable. Yesterday was the inaugural dayof the East St. Louis Jockey Club’s winter meeting. During the spring meeting the club dis- tributed $95,000 in purses, and while the sum- mer meeting was in progress $115,000 was hung up in purses and handicaps. The club will distribute during the meeting which was inaugurated yesterday $300,000. Jockey Grace was set down for a week by Judge Brooks yesterday for reckless riding on Jennie Hardinginthe handicap. Jockey Carr, who rode 8t.Mark,complained to Judge Brooks after the race that Grace had fouled him in the first turn. Many of the specta- tors also thought s0, but Judge Brooks thought the youngster had been guilty only of reckless riding. W. J. Alder son’s string, among which are such good ones as Sullivan, Warner C. and Cesar, will inthe futuae run under Jockey Gorman’s colors. The stable was ruled off the Esst St. Louis Jockey Club’s course some time ago, while runing under Alderson’s coiors, but now that Gorman has taken charge, the horses will be permitted to run againat the course across the river. Al- derson only controlled the running qualities of the horses. Cœsar is now and has always been, it is claimed, the property of Hair Bros., under whose colors he ran yesterday. CORBETT’S FIRST RING. THE STABLE IN WHICH SULLIVAN’S SUCCESSOR MADE HIS DEBUT. Corbettisnowa part of history. Future events may show that he did not deserve the great fame which has come to him, or they may prove that he is a bigger man than we imagine at present. He may turn out io be a Wellington, the lucky victor of a Napoleon, or a Napoleon on hisown hook. At any rate he is a part of the history of the ring. Future generations will want to know all about him, and his grave grown over with weeds will doubtless be pointed out some day inthe future—may it bea day far from this—as are the graves of famous old fighters in England. Being a figure of so much importance, itis well worth while to print here the picture of the ring in which he did hisfirst fighting. To see this beautiful picture is as satisfying as it would be to gase upon the boards first trod- den by Bernbardt orto study the first bow made by esterfeld. What is technically alluded to asa ring is ot course a square. This square, in which, as Punch might say, Corbett first squared off, is aconvenientempty space inthe stable be- longing to Corbett’s father in San Francisco. It is oy the second floor of the stable. The horses, as well as the future champion of the world, were compelled to climb up to it d means of a hill built of wood and covered wit —.— of old cork. In this open space, with 10rses all around, Corbett made of himself the hard-hitting and self-contained fighter that he is. Here he fought the Hayes Valley boys, and here, with the spirit of thrift which has not entirely deserted him, he conducteda school for boxing. The horses got used to the thumping of feet and the unnecessary hard breathing which distinguishes all young fighters, and it probably amused them. It is reasonable to suppose that a horse must appreciate the folly of fighting among men. No doubt every horse in that stable said to himself: There are men who by some re- markable mental process can make us work for them, and who if they liked could set ele- phants to üghting, and yet they are such fools ‘as to getup little fights with their soft little fists and get excited over blows that are noth- ing * force compared with our lightest kicks NEW JERSEY CYCLISTS.

Mike Mooney, accompanied by Jim Davis, the ex-ball player, who is now assisting Programmer Roberts at.the course across the river, called at this office last night and stated that in order to have the much talked of contest between him and Harry sharp come to an tissue, he would agree to fight that young gentleman at catch weights for from $500 to $1,500 aside, Sharp to name the time and date. Tommy Howard, the champion wrestler of Ohio, who is matched to meet Mike Mooney on the carpet within a month, will go into active training at once. He weighs 157 pounds at present, but will come down to 145 unds. Howard has a beautiful pair of shoulders and seems to be endowed with plenty of strength. Mooney is a little sorry now he did not make Howard come down in weight but he will have to abide by the articles. Charley Daly, one of Sharp’s. backers, when seen in reference tu the above, said that Mooney’s proposition wonld not be no- tied. We do not intend to permit Mike to use us as a means to secure advertising any longer, said Daly. We called him down on his own proposition, and do not intend to concede him anything be- Gene stretching the limit to ten rounds. will bet him $100 even that he cannot put Sharp out in that time, and he is at liberty to make whatever terms he can with Sharp.

Sharp may conclude to meet him, but I think different.’’ AN EXCURSION FROM CHARLESTON, An Illinois Party Takes in the Sights in St. Louis. 5 An excursion party consisting of nearly six hundred people came to St. Louis from Charleston, III., over the Clover Leaf road, yesterday morning.

Beginning to-day, the Catholics of St. Oharles County will celebrate the hundredth @nniversary of the establishment of the Jesuit Church in St. Charles and the cele- bration promises to be the greatest of a religious character that the city has ever witnessed, Over one hundred years ago, when the Deautiful hills and vales that border the Missouri River near its mouth were as yet un- trod by the footof the invading white man, there came one day a hardy French pioneer, Louis Blanchette by name, and a small band of followers, who, having ascended the Mis- sour! and being tempted by the fertility of the land and the abundance of game, landed upon the spot where now stands the beaut!- ful city of St. Charles. Here Blanchette set- tled with his little band of hardy pioneers, and formany years they lived with the In- dians, gaining a livelihood by trading, hunt - ing and fishing. ; Blanchette from his roving disposition and achievements in the chase, had been given the name of Chasseur, and he was always known as Blanchette Chasseur. St. Charles County was under the domain of the King of Spain, and the little town of St. Charles soon grew into importance as atrading-post. A fort was established here, and Blanchette Chasseur was made the commandant of the post. The opportunities for trading with the Indians had tempted a great many French to leave their homes and come to the New — Father Rosswinkel, S. J. World, the Land of Promise, and a fair share of these found their way overland to the lit- tle frontier trading post known then as now as St. Charles. ' The colony of French increased rapidly and toon they began to think about the establish- ment ofachurch, The Jesuit thers, those hardy pioneers who traveled over moyntain and river to carry the gospel to the ndtan, were called upon, and Father Didier’ was gent over from France to labor in this wild and unsettled territory. A little log church 1 * Still the leader in poi N. built and here the devout Catholics wor- shiped for many years. Good old Father Didier had no small burden on his shoulders in the care of his flourishing little parish. The St. Charles parish was not con- fined toany set boundary, and many were the long rides through winter and summer, through snow and over rough country that the brave priest was compelled to take. The records of these early days, though time- stained, are perfectly legible. They are written in a quaint, angular, French hand, ad many of the recoras of births, deaths and marriages are interesting bits of unique writing. In these days, when all travel was apart, when the roads were as yet uncertain and in many cases lacking entirely, it was no easy matter tosuccessfully carry on a church. THE SECOND EDIFICE BUILT. After some years of hard work the congre- gation grew too large forits log church, and @ substantial frame building was erected. Father Didier after many years of hard serv- ice became too old and infirm for the ac- cumulated labor ofthe parish. Hewas suc- ceeded by several other Jesuit priests, and in 1847 the church had grown so large and pros- perous that another and larger building be- came a necessity. This building, a substan- tial stone structure, was built about the year 3847, on the site where now stands the chapel ofthe convent of the Sacred Heart, which was established in 1818, But changes had taben place in St. Charles Guring allthese yearsof growth. Brave old Commandant Blanchette Chasseur had died Father Verhagen, S. J. and was superseded. The Spanish rule had ven way to the French, and the French in 2 turn to tke rule of. the United States Government. “che French no longer held the sway in St. Charles, which by this time had wn into a fiourishing little town.

For some time it has been the intentjon of the people of St. Cnarles Borromeo Church tocelebrate the centennial anniversary of the establishment of Catholicity, and, judg- ing from the magnitude of the preparations, it can be safely said thal the eeremo- nies that will take place to-ddy, Monday and Teusday, wii be the most impressive and im- ing of the kind that have ever taken place nu St. Charles. To-day the services at the churches willbe very imposing. The pro- gramme is as follows: Religious services in SS N ' Rev. Charropin, S. J. the Church of*St. (Charles Borromeo. Pon- tifical high mass at 10 a. m., Right Rev. James Ryan of Alton, III., celebrant, with sermon by the Rev. Thomas E. Sherman, S. J. Vespers and benediction of. the most blessed sacrament at 7:30 p. m., followed by the Rev. James Conway. MONDAY, OCT. 17. This day is principally intended for a re- union of all the Catholics of St. Charles County, and those who, at one time or an- other were connected with this church. This reunion will take place on the lawn ad- joining the church. A number of outdoor sports and games of various kinds will be provided. A very bountiful dinner, together with an abundance of other refreshments will be served. One feature of this day’s proceedings will be a real old-fashioned gan- der-pulling, which will bein charge of Mr, Martin Cleary, a famous gander-puller, for- merly of Ireland. TUESDAY, or. 18. On this day there will be a grand reunion of ali Catholic societies of this, and adjacent counties, the whole forming a parade, whose size it would be difficult to estimate, and will doubtless be the grandest outpouring of Catholic chivalry ever witnessed in this State. At the conclusion of the parade which will take place at 10 a. m., the procession will disband at the church lawn, where the Hon. H. J. Spaunhorst, and Hon. O'Neill Ryan will deliver orations in German and English. A dinner will be served on this day as on Monday. Various eminent men from 311 parts of tue country, among them Hon. William F. I rity, Gov. Francis, Grover Cleveland, Adlal E. Stevenson, and several others were in- vited to attend the celebration, and it is ex- pected that the parade will be the most bril- liant showing ever witnessed in this usu- ally quiettown.

The procession was headed by a brass band, and the escort carried torches, making a big showing. DEDICATION OF THE WORLD’S FAIR. Only $8 to Chicago and Return via. the Wabash Line.

The Movement to Substitute Male for Women Teachers in the Sunday- Schools Has Already Begun—Effect Which it Is Likely to Have on th; Chinese—Change in Other Cities. It willbe a surprise tothe multitude of persous who have for many years taken an interest in the Chinese Sunday-schools of the city to learn that these institutions have reached a criticalstage. The future holds out for the almond-eyed pupils a double- faced prospect, They may become pillars of a Mongolian church which will take rank among the civilizing influences of the city, or they may relapse into their native state of barbarism. It all depends on a single issue, on a change which isfullof meaning to the Chinese, namely, how will they accept the substitution of gen- tlemen for lady teachers. inthe Chinese Sunday-school attached to the First Christian Church, on Locust street near Compton avenue, the change has been gradually consummated within the past month, and there are at present only a few of the older married teachers who have not resigned. The remote cause of this radical innovation is wrapt in doubt, It is said that about a month agotwo of the lady teachers who, perhaps, were not inspired withthe genuine missionary zeal, quarreled on a point of precedence and both of them resigned, Of course the ladies could not a void confidential talks on the subject of their resignations, and perhaps they were led to add a few remarks detrimental tb the fair name of the school. However this may be, the resignation of the two ladies, trifling though the incident might have been in it- self, has become anepoch inthe career of the school on ccount of the conse- quences which followed, Rev. J. 8. Parsons, the pastor, decided that three of his nieces, about 15 years of age, who were teachers in the Chinese class, were too young for the exhaustive duties of the instructor. Their minds were not sufficiently mature to exercise that mentai mastery over others which is the first requisite of the teacher. The young ladies therefore with- drew from the Chinese Sunday-school, and other young ladies of tender years took pat- tern by their example. NONE BUT MALE TEACHERS. Gentlemen took the places of the young la- dies who had resigned, and a few Sun- days ago Rev. Mr. Parsons announced that in future it would be the policy of the Chinese Sunday-school to have none but male teachers. In accord- ance with this plan some fifteen or more gen- te men have volunteered to become instruct- rs of the heathen, and, as already said, none of the young ladies who have labored in the class for some time devote any longer their Sabbath afternoons to the mental and moral culture of their former Chinese pro- teges. Ihe gentlemen, who have charge of the Sunday~school say that they cannot estimate what effect the change has had on the pupils. because the class held no sessions during the summer months, and in the early fall term the attendance is never upto the average. But the era of male teachers is not for tong. Indeed they mark the beginning of the end of the Sunuay - school, because it is intended to obtain at Chinese preacher for the pupils, get a house of worship tor them and set them up as a full-fledged self-supporting church society. Jew Hawk, the Chinese minister who left St. Louls a short time ago to take charge of a Chinese Church in New York, is prospective pastor of this Mongolian flock, for he was educated by the Christian Church. The proposition will be submitted to the national convention of the Christtan Church, which assembled at Nashville, Tenn., last Friday, and which will re- inain in session for several days. The Foreign and Domestic Mission Boards will be asked to aid in thé establishment of the church, Ifthe Missionary Boards think favorably of the scheme, then a genuine Chinese Church, equipped with a number of their own race, is one of the events which will startle St. Louis religious circles at an early day. The gentlemen who have devoted a great deal of time to the Chinese Sunday-school at the First Christian Church are convinced that the scholars have reached the point where they nolonger need thecare hereto- fore given them, and they are qualified to form a church for themselves. But it reinains to be seen whether the Chinese themselves are similarly convinced, If they are not, all plans to wean them from primary class methods will be without avail, and they may lose whatever religion they ever had. HOW THEY ARE TAUGRT, A Chinese sunday- school is a novelty. Each pupil has a special instructor or tutor, who sits by his side and showers upon him the painsand patience reserved for Caucasian’ children in their a bc’s. The Mongollan holds in his hand a Chinese-English edition of the Bible, and the teacher has an English version from which she reads, and explains in pigeon English, while the pupil stumbles along among the characters of his own language. Gradually the pupil discovers a relation be- tween the Chinese and English symbols of language, and thus he learns to read the writings of *Melicans.’ It is this system of in- dividual instruction, this utter absorption of pupil and tutor in each other, to the complete oblivion of all the others, which has made the Chinese Sunday-schools and their pretty young lady teachers a subject of great interest. Many romances’ with very serious finales in several schools of the country, especiaily in stherſe Boston, have sharpened the curi- osity of the public, and frequent criticisims ofthe peculiarsystem of instruction hdve been heard. The pupils, however, paid no heed to the signs of popular disapproval, but came to look upon a pretty lady tutor as one of tueir rights as residents in America. Some time ago the Superintend- ent of one of the largest Chinese Sunday- schools in New York City decided it would be for the good of the class to have pupli and tutor sit on opposite sides of a table instead of in juxtaposition. The pu- pils rebelled and threatened to dis- rupt the school. The Superintendent persisted and the Chinese threatened to re- move him from office. All New York was un- easy as to the issue for several weeks, until the dispute was settled. To remove the lady teachers altogether is a far more radical change than to place them across the table from the Chi- nese. What the result may be will be a mat- ter of curiosity, not only to st. Loulsans, but people abroad. It is a generally accepted fact that Chinese are not lured from their wash-tubs, their opium pipes and their fan-tan board to the prosaic precincts of a sunday school for love of the God of the Christians. Some are desirous to learn how to read English, and many of them seek this opportanity to mingie with cultured Caucasians, a boon oftentimes not granted to poor and lowly whites. Cau- caslan ladies especially charm the heathen seekers for the truth, and itis to be feared that when men take the places of the ladies, the spell will be broken and the pupils will flee to their downtown re- sorts. when the Chinese Church is estab- lished, the Mongolian will be deprived of 3 social intercourse with their Am 8 male as e “4 Me 3 ; = erat oy 7 = ian at a 7 23 Gad = * ’ 2 ‘tag 18 * 2 Ro * 80 n +f N. .

Onio, Oct. 15.—Dignity, impressiveness and splendor will characterige the ceremo- Bies of dedication of the buildings of the World’s Columbian Exposition at Chicago. Never before in the history of the United | States has such a distinguished company as- sembled for any purpose as will grace the occasion when the palatial edifices of the Fair will be dedicated by the President of the United States.

Preparations of elaborate description have deen made for the great event. By con- certed acion of citizens, the streets and buildings of the city, particularly in the business center and in the direction of the Exposition grounds, will be tastefully and profusely decorated. Several changes have recentiy been made in the programme of ceremonies first arranged, one of the more important being the elimination of the pro- posed water pageant, ‘‘The Procession of the Centuries,’’ with its twenty-four symbolical floats. The main features ofthe programme, as finally agreed upon, are the following: WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19. In the evening the citizens of Chicago will tender a grand reception and banquet, at the Auditorium Hotel, to President Harrison. An orchestra of sixty musicians will render the programme of dances, and a military band will give the promenade music. Man- dolin orchestras will play inthe banquet- halls. THURSDAY, OCT. 20.

Yesterday the two com- mittees discussed the order in which distin- guished guests will be seated on the platform in Manufactures Hall. The arrangement suggested by Director Henrotin was adopted. Those who take part in the programme will occupy a row of chairs on the rostrum im- mediately in front of the platform on which the distinguished guests will be seated. Pres- ident Harrison has been assigned a seat on the right. Back of him Vice-President Mor- ton and other eminent visitors will be seated in practically the same order that is observed in going tothe park. “ Representatives of the telegraph companies and others met Mildred Adams and E. R. Graham yesteaday morning to complete ar- rangements for the accommodation of the press at the dedication exercises. A space running the entire length of the platform, 225 feet, has been allotted tothe service, divided up as follows: The Western Union Telegraph CO., 20x40 feet; Postal Telegraph Co., 20x80 feet; Reporters’ Room, 20x75 feet; type- writers, 20x40 feet; Telephone and Dis- trict Messenger { Service, 20x40 feet. These rooms will be directly beneath the gallery and will be accessible to the working reporters through six doorways cut inthe front of the platform. They will be divided by partitions and on the east side of the telegraph-room will be open tothe pub- lic. Admirable accommodations have been provided for all working correspondents, and through the courtesy of one company fifty typewriters, with operators, have been gratuitously furnished for t use of such correspondents as may desire to dictate their matter. This will enable visiting newspaper men to avoid the waste of time consequent upon imperfect transportation facilities, and while the big crowd is being moved from the grounds correspondents will be able to quietly dictate their matter and after the rush is over file it with the telegraph office on the grounds or send it by messenger to the central offices uptown. KEEPING OUT THE,CROWDS. CHIEF M’CLAUGHRY WILL HAVB EXTRA MEN FOR DUTY AT JACKSON PARK. A conference was held yesterday in the Mayor’s office, at which a number of details relating to the civic parade were discussed. Thequestion of guarding the fences of Jackson Park dedication day was also taken up. 4 misunderstanding has arisen between the World's Fair Directors, Chief of Police Mo- Claughry, and the State milita companies over the policing of the entrances next week. Inside the grounds the World’s Fair police will de on duty, but the city is expected to rotect the long line of fence from invasion y the crowds. When Chief McClaughry was told of the task cut out for him hethrew up his hands and declared that he had not men enough at his command. A call was then made for aid from the regular troops. Gen. Miles showed that their use was impossible, because the law would forbid the soldiers to make ar- rests. Headvised the use of State militia. The directors were reported to be opposed to the militia, and Chief McClaughry Was left to solve the question as * he might. He laid the condition of affatrs before the conference yesterday. Besides Mayor Wash- burne and the chief there were present Health Commissioner Ware, Chief Sanitary Inspector Hayt, Street Superintendent Burke, Gen. Nelson A, Miles and Gen. Jos. Stockton. Chief McClaughry explained his position and the necessity of guarding the entire fence line. Mayor Washourne advised that all sub- stitutes on the city lists be called out. „With these men, said the chief after the meeting, ISsan do the work.

Not a great number of holiday-makers find their way to the shores of Sweden, but itis a country fullof charm and interest and well repays a visit. As Iwrite I look from my windows over the blue waters of the Sound, or Oresund, asthe natives have it, towards the low, green hills of Denmark, where the great fortress of Kronborg, at Elsinore, is distinctly visible, says the London Graphic. An imposing looking building it is, too, far more like a royal castle than a fort; there is a glorious view from its highest tower, the Flaggen Batterie, and from this point the number and nationality ofall passing ves- sels is taken and noted down by the watch- man on duty. In foggy weather a signal is given every minute, the signal lasting five seconds—a very necessary and useful precau- tion in these often over-crowded waters. It is dificult-to realize on this warm, still summer day that before long the narrow strait will be choked with ice; the forest of masts and fluttering sails make a charming picture now, in spite of the smoke from the steamers, as the sunshine plays on the rip- pling waves andthe fishermen come and go with their netsand great baskets of fish on their way to the market hard by. Sometimes a fleet of two or three hundred ships will be stationary here, awalting a favorable wind to.help them to pass the Sound. and when the long-expected breeze makes itself felt and they allraise their anchors at the same moment, it is a pretty sight—well worth watchingfor. Here, in Helsingborg, we number about 15,000 inhabitants—in the bathing season many more—for the excel- lence of the hotels isa great attraction, as well as the soft sea breezes which prevail on this southwestern coast. The place ts an an- cient one, having been founded in the early part of the middle ages, and it still possesses afine old ruintowhith no date seems to be assigned, known as Burg Karnen—a formid- able fortress seven stories high, which over- looks the town; from its towera fine outlook over Swedish and Danish waters may be had. As it is much the custom here to take rooms and cater for yourself in English fash- ion, the market and the different resources of the town become objects of interest. The principal square is usually crowded on one side with country carts containing piles of fresh butter, eggs, meat, cheese, bread, fish, flowers—not much in the way of fruit or veg- etables—and there is no difficulty in supply- ing the wants of a household. hen change of scene or menuis desired you can dine at one of the hotels or have anything sent from them to your own quarters in the convenient Continental fashion. These hostelries are most comfortably, and even tuxuriously, furnished. At the largest the ball-room is quite asplendid affair and beautifully decorated. The views are pleas- ant from the windows of all, as they over- look the sea; and the life, chatterand busi- ness going on onthe quaysand highways is enough to-amuse and distract without dis- turbing your reverie too much, should you be disposed that way. The railway, it is true, passes along by the shore, but there are few trains at night—I believe none at all; and itis dificult to realize sometimes that you are Uving in a seaport of considerable im- portance, A Swedish supper is a very important affair, though it does not involve an exten- sive outlay. If your tastes are modest, you may sup well for the sum of one kroner (about ashilling). One’s own plate becomes the center- piece of the feast, andthe dishes radiate from thisinasemi-circle. The mid- day dinner is universal, and before seating yourself you are expected to pay a visit to a side table, Where a large and varied~collec- tion of appetizers are set out, both in the form of solids and liquids, The pretty public garden must not be for- gotten, and there are also many pleasant resting places along the shore.

NANCY HANES. , The Record Breaking Mare Was Named for Abe Lincoln’s Mother. Written for the SUNDAY Post-DIsPraton. There is something after all in a name. It is a faint, fay away glory, but it is none the less gratifying that the name of Nancy Hanks, the mother of Abraham Lincjoin, ts recalled in the exploits of the little mare who made the brilliant record with the pneumatic tire at Terre Haute a few days ago. When Nancy Hanks, and as it curiously happened, her pacemaker, Abe Lincoln, set out on their record-breaking circle, the mul- titudinous gathering that surrounded the race track knew that it was looking at the most perfect creatufe of its kind in exist- . ence, and when Nancy Hanks finished break- ing her own matchless record, men cheered, swung their hats into the air and exalted the name of the little mare. It is a question, however, if very many of that great throng wereaware that the name whichthey so exalted was that of the mother of Abraham Lincoln. The silence of obsburity and the voll of time shrouds the 2 of Nancy Hanks, Through the brie al record we have of her is seen the figure of a handsome young woman of 23, above her station and surround - ings, whointhe deepest poverty and with but the nude comforts ofa log cabin in the midst ot a lonely forest ve birth to a boy.

But this gentle mother had left so deep an impress in the heart of her boy that we fin him almost two years after she had been lai in the grave, stili unsatisfied until he found a r who come to his mother’s last résting place and say over it the last sad words for the dead. Neither in history nor in romance is there a picture more exquisite in its pathos than that of this wintry, barren landsca and this humble, obscare lad listening with sweii- ing heart to the words of the itinerant preacher, as they stood — 1 the snow- — — mound, under which slept the young mother. From his mother Abraham Lincoln got his first educational impulse, for she ssed the accomplishments Of reading and writing, not very common in that day among the poorer ple of Kentucky, and she was thus enabled to give her children more or less in- struction at home.

It any one doubts that surgery is a pro- sive science let him consult Heister’s “ond **General System of surgery.“ So far as known only three copies of this work are extant in the United states. One of these 18 eee - Sad 2 : ae - “ 2 in the library of the Surgeon General's office at Washington, and another is owned by Dr. L. H. Laidley of St. Louis. The present whereabouts of the third is not definitely known. All are of the third edition and were _ pudlished in London in 1748. Dr. Lawrence Heister, the author of the Fork, was a Professor of Surgery in the mea- ical department of a German University. This circumstance and thé fact that the work passed through seven or eight editions are sufficient evidence that the author was In the front rank of his profession and taught surgery in accordance with the most ad- vanced scientific knowledge of his day. The work was written originally in Latin. It is divided into three parts. The first treats, according to the title page, of the **doctrines and management of wounds, fractures, luxations, tumors and ulcers;’’ the second of ‘‘the several operations per- {24szmed in all parts of the body, and the third of the several bandages applied in all perations and disorders; the’ whole illus- trated with thirty-eight copper plates, ex- fbiting all the operations, instruments dages and improvements, according to s modern and most approved practice, ing a work of thirty years’ experience. But the man—not to say woman— who ex- mes Dr. Heister’s book must be prepared shudder. Evidently nota very great por- on ofthe doctor’s thirty years had been Gevoted to the culture of sympathy. In his preliminary dissertation on the qualifications necessary to the success of a surgeon, he says, quoting with approval from Celsus, a noted Roman physician who lived just be- fore the dawn of the Christian era, a sur- geon ought to have an intrepid mind, void of all tenderness, so as not to be at all moved by theoutcries of his patient; to use no more haste than the case requires, nor to cut less than necessary; but he should act in all respects as if he was en- tirely unaffected by his pa- tient’s complaints. The plates—fac similes of some of which are presented herewith— ~~" the explanation of the methods pursued in performing operations according to the modern and most approved practice’’ indi- Cate that the author attained to his own deal to the extent of having ‘‘an intrepia mind, devoid ofalltenderness.’’ But there was greater need of an intrepid mind’’ on the part of the surgeon in the day of Heister, * 1 ] j +7 UJ Cauterizing Irons. gs well as in the day of Celsus than now, for the reason that anzwsthetics, were not then used and the patient could not be put into a state of blissful sleep not to awaken until the rgeon had finished his work. ') PRELIMINARY HINTS TO THE PROFESSION. ‘jAfter describing the instruments most Needful tor a surgeon to have as two lancets smaller one*for opening veins and a ger one for opening abscesses—several irs of scissors, a pair of forceps, a razor and three Knives, he tells how the surgeon ghould approach his patient. He says (the use of capitals in the text is followed): As . as introduced to his Patient he ought in the first place, as Hippocrates well advises, 0 inquire of him or his friends what alls 1 a 4 85 Heister says: ‘‘Cauteries have various and Im, — ty is the seat of his Complaint, from what Cause it proceeds and how ine | it has been upon him. If there is no particular Objection,’’ he adds, he should examine the Part himself!’’ Ine author was as jealous of the reputation ot his profession as the most orthodox ‘‘reg- ular’’ physician of to-day, and he did not besitate to give his students and fellow-prac- titioners a clever practical hint now and then. Sometimes, he says, it is better not to be concerned with a Patient when it its impossible to be of any Service to him, lest you snould be said to have killed him who died of Disease. Cauteries, setons, issues, bleeding, these were the most common meth- cure to which the skilled doc. 150 years ago resorted.

As if burning with hot jrons were not suf- ficient torture to make one forgetful of the pains ofthe gout, a slower, more lingering method of cauterization is prescribed for that disease. Some of the moderns,’’ the author says. have wonderfully extolled Cauterization with Moxaas the most effectual Means to cure and wholly extirpate theGout.’’ Moxa, it is explained. is a kind of downy substance separated from the leaves ofa sort of mugwort. The manner of using it is shown in a cut representing a foot on which is one cone of moxaon fire and another ready to fire. In explanation the author says: For the art of cauterizing with it, it may de necessary to observe the following particulars: In the first place make a small Cone of Lint or Moxa about a Thumb’s Breadth long. The Basis of this Cone is to be stuck upon the Part with Gum Arabic or Gum Tragicanth, and its Pointisthento be fired with a candleora burning Coal. By this Means not only the Cone will be gradually consumed, but the painful Part will beat last —1 Degrees cauterized, and thence the Pains of the Gout will frequently have some Remis- sion. Butif the Pains do not entirely vanish at the first, a new Cone is to be applied again to the Part and Cauterization thus continued till the Pain ceases!’’ Of issues Dr. Heister says they are ‘‘little Ulcers made designedly by the Surgeon in various Parts of the Body and kept open by the Patient for the Preservation or Recovery of Health. In the Operation the Physician endeavors by Art to imitate and relieve Nature, who often forms Ulcers in various Parts of the Body of her oe accord for the discharge of pernicious Humors whereby People are often freed from grievous Disor- ders and enjoy a healthy State.’’ The man- ner of operation is explained as follows: **Though there are several Methods of makmg Taking Of an Arm. Issues, yet none seem to be more ready than the following, viz., firstto mark the proper Place witn Ink and then elevating the Integ- uments betwixt Thumb and Forefinger of the Surgeon and with an Assistant on each Side, you next proceed to make an Incision through them, either with the Scalpel or Lancet, Vig enough to admit a Pea, which, having been inserted and covered with a Plaster and Compress nothing moreis wanting than your Roller tocompleatthe Operation. Thus by cleansing and dressing the Wound every Morning with a fresh Pea, it by Degrees, ina Day ortwo, degenerates intoa little Ulcer, discharging daily a quantity of purulent Matter. „There is a second Method of making Is- sues,’’ the author continues, by wounding the Skin with a red-hot Iron. ‘the red-hot Iron is pressed down upon the Integuments and the Eschar, or Burn, is next to be dressed with fresh Butter, till it at length separates in repeating the Dressing every Day and then the little Uicer formed is to be filled with a Pea and dressed as before. Though this Method is more severe yet it must be equally more efficacious asthe Pain of Cauterization must necessarily make a considerabie Revulsion. Issues are used chiefly for various Disorders of the Head, eyes, ears, teeth, the Sciaticaand other pain- ful Disorders, which are in this way fre- quently relieved orcured. The advantage of Issues is well known and daily experienced by most Surgeons, contrary to the Opinion of Helmont and some others, who think they serve only to torment and trouble a Pa- tient.’’ ; HORSEHAIRS IN SURGERY. After explaining that a seton is ‘‘a few Horsehairs, small Threads, or a larger Pack- thread, drawn through the Skin, chiefly of the Neck, by Means ofa large Needle or Probe, with a View to restore orpreseve Health,’’ the author describes the three methods of performing the operation. The firstis begun by taking up the skin on the lower part of the neck, while an assistant draws it tight about an inch above. ‘*Then the Surgeon passes through the Skin a large and —— Needle armed with Silk or Thread, either twisted together with a large String, or in 20 or 30 small and loose Threads, which, being drawn through the Skin, are to be left in the Neck afterthe Needle has been removed. The woundisthen dressed with some Uigestive Ointment and covered witha A DAtslocated Shoulder. Piece of Plaster perforated on each Side for the Eigature to pass through and thus the Seton is decently completed. ‘‘The Ligature isto be shifted or drawn through the Wound a little every Day and the Matter is to be wiped off every Morning and Night as in Issues, by which Means it will degenerate intoan Ulcer with a double Orifice.’’ Another method of insertinga seton is, it is explained, by the use of an instrument made for the purpose, by which the Skin is pinched up and afterward perforated with a sharp-pointed and red-hot Iron, atter which a Ligature is introduced as before. As this Operation is attended with great Pain and consequent Suppuration,’’ the author adds, ‘‘itisnotat all surprising that it should be approved by many eminent Physicians to make a strong Revulsion and copious Dis- charge of ae Humors from.the Head Eyes, and more noble Parts!“ It was, it will be seen, a prevailing theory among the learned doctors of that day that there was peculiar efficacy in the creation of a ‘‘reyul- sion,’’ or shock tothe nervous system. WNo one will doubt that the liberal use of the red - hot iron tben in vogue was admirably adapted to the practical application of the heory. , THE MERITS OF BLOOD-LETTING, t t 1 4 g, the erudite doctor says, appears | not only one of the the most ancient and live abstemiously and to lie on his Stomach ; the rest is to be left to Divine Prov. idence and the Strength of his Constitution!“ The ampttation of a finger or a toe one hundred and fifty years ago was effected if not with neatness, certainly with dispatch. The methods are described, and the most ex- peditious one is illustrated in a drawing. ‘The manner of N e it is stated, is threefold; first, by a pair of strong Scis- sors, Or rather sharp-edged Pincers; or, second, by the mallet and Chisel with which the vitiated Parts are taken off at one Blow, asi have frequpntly done in cancerous Af- fections ofthe Fingers; or, third, the dis eased Parts are amputated by dividing in the next found Joint with a Scalpel, leaving a large Part of the Skin to wrap over the Stump that it may heal the sooner.’’ If, in Dr. Heister's day, a man's hand of- fended him and he wis ned to obey the Seri A tural injunction to cut it off,the doctors eould do the job for him without showing any mawkish sympathy for the offending mem- ber. The patient was seated in a chair with two muscular men to hold him there and au- other to hold his arm extended over a big tub placed on the floor to catch the blood. A tourniguet was placed on the arm above the | elbow in order, doubtless, to retain a portion tlent's blood and have it on tap for future bleeding in case the patient survived. Then the skiliful surgeon - proceeded to sever the arm with his saw as a day- laborer woulda stick of wood inthe back yard, After the limb was off the operation of tying the blood - vessels and burning the ends with a red-hot iron followed and the job was completed by dressing the stump with bolil- ing hot oil. No deceit was practiced upon the patient. He could watch the progress of the whole operation and see that the doctor spilled no blood on the floor and that the irons and the oil were hot enough to do their work well. Dislocations of the shoulder were reduced without the aid of so many assistants as an amputation required by the use of a machine known as the ambe of Hippocrates. The ma- chine consisted ofan upright standard, the top of which served as the fulcrum of a lever. The patient was placed on the side ofthe standard opposite the long arm of the lever and his arm was firmly bound in three places to the top of the lever. The doctor by oper- ating the lever could throw the dislocated humerus back into its place. Another smaller, but perhaps quite as inter- esting instrument among those described and illustrated is one the purpose of which is the removal of a tumor from the eyelid. It is simple in construction and like the ambe in- volves the application of the lever. It com- prises a sort of clasp with a hinge at one end andascrew for drawing the arms of the clasp together atthe other. Thearms were spread apartand the ends were drawn to- gether by the screw. Once in the embrace of the instrument, no guilty tumor could es- cape. of the ELECTRICAL NOTES.

The mirror makes 1.024 turns every second, worked by electricity, which is about 150 times as fast as a rifle bullet travels. whole photographic power of the spark is over in a time equal to the ten or eleven millionth partof a second, and itis during that incredibly brief space that the image is made on the sensitive plate. The leading feature of the electrical exhi- bition now being held in Ottawa, Canada, is saidto be the display of electric heating de- vices ofall kinds. The electric oven is in- spected by thousands who witness through glass doors the process of baking in allits branches. It is about 7 feet square and 6 feet high, substantially bullt, surrounded by small electric heating appliances, which are fed from the ordinary electric light ser- vice wires. The interior dimensions of the even are four ieet square, the ceiling being low and oval in form. An obiong window on one side permits visitors to watch the prog- ress of the baking of bread, buns, etc. A dough-mixing machine driven by an electric motor is used in connection with the elec- tric oven. The heating of houses by elec- tricity is also demonstrated, and numerous smali heating devices are shown. Prof. Heury A. Rowland of John Hopkins University has been appointed one of the consulting engineers of the Cataract Con- struction Co. at Niagara. He is one of the first Americans to be connected with the en- gineering work there, the managers of this project fur the electrical transmission of power having shown a tendency heretofore to take their advice almost wholly from for- eign electrical engineers. Larger dynamo machines are being brought out continually. One of the latest giants will require 500 horse power to run it.

A device designed for the service of photo- graphers is an electric retouching pencil.

A submarine cable was recently run from a point on Pine Island, near New London, Conn., across Long Island sound to Fisher’s Island. This cable was three and one-half miles long, contained six copper conductors, weighing fifty pounds, and was in one length, without spiice. It is designed for telegraph and telephone service, and was transported from the factory at Passaic, N. J., on a flat car, on which was constructed a special reel, and laid from potnt to point without delay or accident. e results of experiments on the forcing of vegetation by the use of the electric light, which have been carried on at Cornell Uni- versity, show that lettuce was most bene- fited by night illumination.

Buy the chiv- alry of those ages was purely factitious, its exponents knew that it was factitious, the knight errant simply paraded around, like the. modern small boy, with a chip on his shoulder, daring the world at large to knock itoff. He had no real sentimental interest in the chip, his egotism and his vanity were concentrated in the vainglorious effort to display the delicacy of his emotions and the strength of his muscle, the effectiveness of his skill with lance or spear. For womanhood m its noblest develop- ment, as wife and mother, he cared little. His Dulcinea was his mistress. And though that word has now lost its original meaning, and become a term of reproach, and not of respect, the degradation of that meaning shows merely how the outward use of the word gradually accommodated itself tothe esoteric fact. In the gallant knight’s own housebola woman was eithera drudge or a plaything. His ideal wife, and the ideal wife of the middle ages generally, is repre- sented in the patient Griselda, celebrated by Boccaccio and Chaucer,a poor, weak, snivel- ing creature, whose one virtue was a doglike fidelity to the brute who abused and outraged ber. The chivalry of the modern world, how- ever, isnosham. As exhibited in the pro- tecting arm which manhood throws over in- nocence and weakness, in the tenderness with which*husbands and brothers look after the welfare of their feminine dependents,and the solicitude with which they guard their good name, it has been one of the most potent factors in our progressive civilization. But it has its absurd and exaggerated side. Thatis the way with all human progress. begin by expecting the impossible,then we pretend that the impossible is with us, and finally, when we have approximated as far as may be to the ideal which that impossible has raised in our minds, we reach the sober second thought in which we separate the impossible from the possible and the extant, the ideal from the approximation that has been real- ized, and find how much of the plain prose there is in the poetical fancy which has ele- vated and civilized us. The time for this sober second thought has now arrived. Man commenced by thinking that woman was his hopeless and utter, in- ferior, and this thought degraded and bru- talized both him and her. Then he pre- tended to believe, and at last actually got to belleve, that she was his superior—a belief that lifted her and him out of the gutter which threatened to overwhelm both. Now the time has came when the relations of the sexes have been established ona basis of mutual respect, and he can without danger calmly inquire whether his worship of woman isafadora fact, whether woman is in fact his equal. The answer that most thoughful people would give is that a fair average of manly and femirfine qualities E establish a sub- stantſal equality. The gfory of the oak is one thing, andthe glory ofthe lily is another. Each in its way is gloriogs, Each ts superior in some things and ts inferior in others. To revert to man and woman, the first is stronger in body and mind, the latter 18 ofa * | finer spiritual and moral texture. e | d Roughly speaking this is true. But when we go below the surface, when we refine on the thought, we begin to perceive that it is dif- ficult to separate mental strength and moral beauty. The mind must determine what 1s right before the conscience can act. ing thisaxiom tothe question in hand, we willl find the fact to be that woman means well, but she does not always know. Being inferior mentally toman, she doesnot pos- sess these virtues which he alone through mental processes knows to be virtues. We will consider but a single point. We willattempt to answer the question pro- ponnded inthe heading to this article, Is woman considerate?’’ or rather we will bluntly say no, and then proceed to give our reasons for the negative. This answer may seem startling. It is pretty generally conceded that woman is more tender, mercifuland kindly than man, And so in intention she is. But she lacks the high mental gift of imagination and hence lacks the \sympathetic insight which comes from an aftive imagination. When man js brut? de knows that he is brutal. When won gn is brutal her brutality springs from sh ignorance of the pain that she is in- flictng. Few men and fewer women would be consciously brutal. But because woman is ignorant her unconscious brutality is more widespread, more nearly universal and mote keenly cruel th the conscious brutality which is only occasional in man. She is in- considefate in the etymological sense that she does notand cannot consider. Her evil is wrought by want of thought and not by want of heart. Let us take her first in her relations to man. She is most inconsiderate, most cruel where she loves the most. Man, on the con- trary, is then most considerate and most He Imagines all sorts of delicate sen- sitiveness which may or May not exist, and does his best to guard against wounding them. She cannot conceive of any sensitive- ness which she does not share. She is con- tinually tearing and rending the heartstrings ofthe very person for whom she would sacri- fice her life. Her jealousy is a jealousy that would cut him off not only from all other women, but from his family and his friends, and not only that, but from everything which gives him a pleasure that she cannot under- stand and enter into. She cannot believe in the existence of an emotion that she does not share. she is jealous of his books if she 1s not bookish, of his musicif she is not musi- cal, of his picturesif she is not artistic. She shows her jeglousy in the most cruel and aggravating forms. She seeks to make him believe that he is a brute in not giv- ing up everything for her sake and gives the final wrench when she insists that she would give up everything for his. And when she has persuaded the poor, weak fool (and any man is a poor, weak fool inthe hands of a hysterical woman), when he has gacrificed for her sake what is the hignest portion of his soul-life, she rejoices at the havoc she bas made. She looks upon it as an evidence of her power. In reality itis atribute to her weakness. Man knows the agony of relinqguishment; how then shall he in his brutal strength throw the burden of yielding upon this frail and delicate creature? Nay, with devilish in- genuity she manages to emphasize and call attention to this very Weakness, laughing in her sieeve the while, and so not only na bis masculine pride, but awakens in chivalric and onerous emotions, sire Of power is shown in It j 2 a desire of ti re 2 . a Pas? Apply~ conjure up that possibility, and her vanity, her love of power, swallowed up all consider- ation for her lover’s feelings or his safety. It did not even matter to her, itmever mat- ters with any of her sisters, whether 2 lover were made ridiculous. Women rarely betrayed into a ridiculows position. A eertain graceful agility enables them toelude the awkwardness that is a pitfall to man. But even in the rare cases where she is ridic- ulous her inadequate sense of humor makes it impossible to realize the f knows the mental torture of conscious ab- surdity. She cannot realize the feeling which makes a man prefer to be considered a crim- inal than a butt,and not realizing it she again is inconsiderate. A man does not, as a rule. strive to excite a woman’s jealousy—certainly does not rejoice in a show of jealousy before by-standers. I once knew a woman to take a man’s arm, a man for whom she had no feeling of tender- ness, and walk off with him, leaving her hus- band the center ofa crowd. Then from the seclusion of a quiet corner she exulted at his abject misery. ‘‘Iliketo see Tom twitch in hischair!’’ she cried, laughing to her com- panion. And indeed it was evident tothe most careless onlooker that Tom twitched very uneasily. Now, no man could possibly put a wife to that torture. And above all he would not exult over her with a companion of another sex. Man as a rule is watchful over his love - let - ters. He would think it a desecration to ex- pose a line of those artless missives to vulgar or curious eyes. He knows what a torture it would be to have his own written billings and cooings subjected go alien gaze. He rec- Ognizes that what is billing and cooing to himself is mere hew-hawing to the unsym- pathetic outsider. And so knowing, he pre- serves his correspondence in a holy of holies to which no one is admitted. Not so the woman. She always has a female confidante ortwoto whom she reads choice passages from her dear Tom’s scrawls, and there are even certain moods when she might show the letters to an interesting male friend—say a potential brother by refusal. Even when a woman does not love in re- turn she is cruel and inconsiderate tothe man by whom sheis beloved. She glories in the fact that he is ruining his life for her sake. In the rare cases where he is driven to suicide she weeps, but in her heart there is the joy of fancied power. In her after life she alludes tothe circumstance with a deep sigh, but she frequently alludes to it, A wife may.be ever so loving and devoted, but she rarely resists the temptation of nag- ging. If the husband gains but aslender livelihood she compares it with the larger earnings of some other woman’s husband, or points out how much better she might have done ifshe had married some other sultor for her hand. She knows that tbis' hurts, that it touches the man in a sore and tender spot. Letus hope, however, that it is only because she cannot realize the exqulisiteness of the pain that she persists in inflicting it. If the wound were a physical one, if it were apparent on the surface, none would be so devoted, so self-sacrificing in stanching or soothingit. Woman is aministering angel when pain and anguish wring the brow, but not when it more cruelly wrings the heart below the unruffied surface. "In lesser matters, in matters that relate to strangers or to members of her own sex, the woman maintains the same cold bearing to all pain or discomfort that does not find ex- ternal manifestation. In the street cars, even when starting out fresh and vigorous from her home, she accepts and even seems to demand a seat from any man, no matter how old or worn or weary. It was not tilla wild protest went up from the Atlantic to the Pacific that she even learned it was her duty to acknowledge a courtesy of this sort with a bow at least, if nt with some spoken words of thanks, without waiting for a formal introduction to the gentleman who offered it. The theater hatis acrowning evidence of woman’s utter want of consideration for the feelings of others. Her vanity is more im- portant to her than the comfort of her neigh- bors. The imagination falters at the idea of any man venturing to interfere in any simi- lar way with the well-being of others. The consciousness that he was making them un- comfortable would bean insupportable dis- comfortto himself. Yet women smile and are merry, are even vain of the apparel that turns those behind them into blasphemers. When woman meets woman the triumph of selfishness is complete. Go to our larger stores and a very short observation will con- vince you that it is the battle ground of two opposing forces of petticoat savages—one be- fore and one behind the counter. Each com- plains of the other as inconsiderate. Neither can put herself imaginatively in the position of the other, for each is absorbed in her own particular feelings. The shop-girl is tired of lifting bundles down and putting them back again, of answering silly questions, ot the eternal dry routine of her duties. The shop- per has her mind set with a straightforwara singleness of purpose upon the purchase she has in mind, and is possibly vexed by mult. tudinous failures. Neither has the slight- est sympathy orcarefor the other’s woes, otherwise they might meet each other half way and adopt the modus vivendl, the sort or armed neutrality that prevails between the average male clerk and his patrons. so the shopper increases the coldness by spiteful remarks dropped under her breath or ponurea™ into the earof a sympathizing companion. The shop-girl looks all that she does not speak. It is war to the knife’ between them. Yet in these cases it is the head and not the heart that is at fault. But the head guides the heart. Woman can never reach the latge-hearted gentality of man until she has attained to his largeness of brain. She will not be his equal until she has learned to be equally considerate, | And, after ali, does not woman Know that she is man’s inferior? In many su btle and unconscious ways she betrays this knowl- edge, as we have already pointed out. She is still willing - to be the Griselda if man ig still willing to be the brute. The Rochesters and the brutal guardsmen, still popular in female fiction, seem to prove this. And itis a secret well known to that particularly vehement brute of real life, the so-called masher. He reads his etymological descent not in the mashava (darling) of Gypsy speech, but in the plain English mash or smash, meaning to pound. Woman may love the man that is kind to her, but when he strikes her she worships the ground upon which he walks.

Londem — — tive town in 1812—after a few years’ absence since early manhood—whereby he was set apart for the oMce of Deacon forthe First Congregational Church.“ Having nc ambi- tion for political distinction, it was more to his liking than any other office that could have deen bestowed, conferring, as it did @ move substantial divinity than the title of r. For twenty-five years, from the time of his re-entrance to Norwich until the day of his cles, that is to say, spectacles with big round rims. We all thought he had quite a genius for improving buildings soasto get as much rent out of them as he justly could, and only that. He was a very just man in all of his dealings. He took the building I Was in and partitioned it off into offices and stores so as to greatly increase its value, and he did the same thing with others. I paid a dollar a month for my office, and that was in the time when all Norwich was up around the town-plot or common, before the city had moved down to fhe landing at the head of the Thames. The deacon’s business was that of a silver smith and watch and clock maker. Like many a Yankee boy of his period he learned a trade, andthe workshop where heand his apprentices wrought is typical of many oth- ers that subsequently developed into exten- sive manufacturing concerns. There is in existence in Norwich to-day manya clot and many a silver spoon that came from his modest little factory. He was a pupil of Thomas Harland, who came hither from Lon- don in 1773, William Cleveland being at that time in his twenty-third year. Just before one comestothe t urninthe road by the Methodist chu rch that fronts the comm on, is the Cleveland homestead, stand- ing close tothe sidewalk in the shade of two more ofthe frequent elms that struck root into the soil two centuries ago. On the south of the porch is an apple orchard, and beyond ita meadow that slopes upwards to hills crisscrossed Dy stone walls and dotted with conical dwarf cedars. It is a comfortable looking two-story dwell- ing about forty feet square with a shingled gambrel, or ‘‘hip’’ roof, and a chunky chim- ney to each corner, suggesting a reflecton that the winters must indeed be bleak where so many fireplaces are required. The clapboard sides are painted in sober drab, relieved by trimmings of reddish brown.

On either hand are the parlor and sitting- room, whose principal features are the Diack mardie mantels and wood fire-places, the recessed windows with solid, wooden inside shuttefs, and the low cellings crossed and supported by heavy inclosed floor beams. It ranks with the best of the family mansions in Bean Hill. Just how old the house is no one seems to | york, where his descendants became mer- chants of national fame, the late Wililam E. Dodge being one of them. It was the dea- con’s home uut il his fourchildren went away or married, Richard coming there with his father at the age ot seven and remaining until after his graduation from Yale College in 1824, at the age of 19. Deacon Cleveland led a placid, contented, dignified, and honorable life in this vicin- age, blest by reason of his honest thrift in his basket and his store, happy in his family relations, and fortunate among men in his marriage with Margaret Falley, a Norwich lady. What he might have been had any stirring events roused the latent forces of his character into action is largely a matter of conjecture. But his father, Aaron Cleveland, lived in different times and left a different record be- hind him, He was born in East Haddam in 1744. Comfng to Norwich a few years before the outbreak of the Revolution he immedi- ately took an active part in the affairs of the community. As a religious exhorter, a lec- turer and a writer he exerted a powerful in- fluence. A local history speaks of him as a man of wit and a ready writer who con- tributed many pieces to the newspapers that had the ringing sound of genuine patriot- ism,’’ One of his articles published in the Norwich | Packet in 1773, was an essay in the form of a sermon upon the text: Touch not mine an- ointed.’’ He claimed that not kings but the people are the anointed of God, and kings are forbidden to touch them.“ It was pretty bold talk in those days Of subser- viency to George III, All through his writings he shows an apt- ness of characterization which, while not equal to such inspirations as ‘‘pernicious activity’’ and ‘‘ghoulish glee,’’ is not far behind them. During the great struggle he was to be found serving On committees with the leading dignitaries of the town and for- warding the cause of the patriots by every means in his power. He was the earliest town anti-slavery man in the State of Connecticutt, and in 1779, being elected for that purpose, Introduced a bill into the Legislature to abolish the evil. Soon after that he rounded out his career by becoming a minister in the Congregational Church, and died at New Haven in 1816.

Ten years ago in a spasm of virtue Congress appropriated the money to pay the salari of ten clerks who should check up the book of the money order office and prepare a liest of money orders which had not been present- ed for payment. ° It was estimated then that if this list was prepared the owners of two-thirds of this money could be traced, and the money could restored to them. To-day one solitary rk sits in a little office on the top floor of the Post-office Department annex, checking up the unpaid money orders. He is workin now on orders issued in 1871; at this rate will not catch up with his work within twenty years, and by that time most of the owners of the money will be dead, and their heirs or executors will be hard to find.

Six years ago there were no periogicals in England de- voted toastrology. There are now three. „% Another thing that has given astrology in England a great fillipis the series of re. markable predictions which have appeared of late years in our astrologic calendars. Mr. Pearce, a very careful and conscientious astrologer, is to all intents andipurposes ‘Zadkiel,’ and he cer- tainly predicted to the day and even the hour the compulsory abdication of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria. Again, a year in ad. vance, he described the revolution in Brazil inthe following words: ‘The Emperor of Brazil is warned to be very careful of dis- sensions and machinations among his subjects at this time,’ and the day against which this is put is the day of the outbreak. Similarly, ‘Old Moore,’ in this year’s issue has, his remarkable prophecy as to the 14th of January, stimulated the curiosity of all believers in the occult. Against that date was printed ‘The royal family in mourning, and this almanac is always on salein the streets of London in the October of the previ- ous year, so that the Duke of Ciarence’s Ill- ness, which did not begin till the 7th of Janu- eS could not have influenced the predic- tion, will, President Charles F. Thwing of the University of Chi- cago, makes some comparisons between Eastern and Western colleges in Harper’s. He thinks that the Western student should get his degree in his own part of the country, It will mean fully - much intellectual development as the A. .of an Eastern University. Of course, he “allows many exceptions to this general ad- vice. As to the character ot the two kinds of students, he says: „et, of course, the effect of the training of a college is composed in part of the work of the students as well as the worth of the teacher. But the average amount of work done by the average college man is larger, I think, in the Western thaninthe Eastern col- lege. Fewer students are sent, more The Western stu- money, and four years of study means larger financial sacrifice. The motives leading him toa mer- cantile life are stronger, and therefore, having resisted them and entered college. he is the less inclinea to make college days play - days. Inthe West fewer men go tocollege by reason of family prestige. The effect of athietics is,on the whole, good, both East and West, though in every class ftain men wreck the frail bark of education the rocks of base ball and football. But e tempta- tions to over-indulgencein sports are less strong in the prairie than in the seashore college. Though, on the whole, the Western student works harder than the Eastern, yet, atthe perilot writing like a doctrinaire, I venture to say both could devote a few more hours per weekto philosophy and physics without incurring very serious risks to phys- ical health. . EASTERN AND WESTERN STUDENTS. Dr. J. W. Jenas of DISHONEST AGAINST Cornell University THEIR WILL. writes at length in the Century of vote- buying. He believes that the only way of stopping it is to establish a healthy public “ * sentiment against the practice, taking it for granted that at presemt theoffense is gen- erally condoned. The doctor doesn't know exactly how that sentiment shall be cre- ated when it does not exist now, but he suggests that the colleges do all they can in that direction. He feels sure that the poli- cians, the big ones, will gladly abandon practice. „A politician,’’ says he **knows very well that he does many things that are condemned by the most enlightened _@onsciences; he does many things that to himself are disagreeable, and that trouble Sven his well-trained conscience; but, as has been said. to him these acts are necessary, and he does them as other good people do mecessary but unpleasant tasks. When he can be made to see that it will de tter, not for himself per- gonally, but for the success of the party ch, let me repeat, to him means thie good of the country—to change the methods of conducting elections, nobody will be more to change than he. Indeed, as vote- buying is in reality a very unpleasant business for many of our influential pol- iticlans—so much so that many of them, while directing it, will never themselves take on, * in it—no one will work more actively to make this practice unnecessary than will they, if it can be clearly shown that a change to a better system of carrying elec- tions is practicable. A. Ende says, in | FEW FEMALE an article in Belford’s MUSICAL COMPOSERS. Magazine, that the reason why women have done so little good work inthe field of musical composition is found in their lack of mental discipline. „ he says, requires thinking powers of no ordinary degree; it presumes an amount of intellectual discipline, which men in general have always had, but which women were deprived of until lately. He then gives a list of 156 woman compos- ers, and concludes: Thus in spite of hereditary im and social prejudices the amoun done by women in the field of usical com- ition has been considerabl What ft wil „ when a sound intellectual training and other indispensable conditions will enable her to compete with man qualitatively, tne future will show. diments of work fine mathematician and a ‘There is a great deal THE SAIL said from time to time, NOT VANISHING, writes Herbert Russell in im the English Thustruted Magazine, ‘‘about the decline of the galling ship and the near prospect of her total dis- appearance off the seas.

Cosmopolitan, says that the diseases do notincrease with civilization, while the skill of oculists does. The doctor seems to be puzzled by the single eye-glass. Says he: There is a queer fashion, more prevalent in England than with us—perhaps entirely confined to England and a few Anglomaniacs in Germany andthis country—of wearing a glass before one eye only. This custom prob- ably originated with short-sighted people who, wishing to be able to see at a distance with ons eye, and near at hahd with the other, armed the short-sighted eye with a glass and left the other in a condition in which it worked easily without one. glish gentleman lately told this fashion arose from of the hunting field, when came necessary—on jumping a ditch, for ex. ample—to change the view from one covering the whole fleld to one that would correctly estimate the short distance to be covered by the horse. The one glass could then be read- ily dropped from the eye, whereas to detach a pairof eye glasses would not be 80 easy. But whatever was the origin, most of those who now wear a glass in this way do 80 for purposes unknown to the writer, for a glass with no refractive power whatever is often worn, and people use them who have no defect of vision. Probably the monocle is an effect of civilization upon the eye, but just exactly how English civilization, which justly ranks among the highest; has come to its use, while other nations scarcely employ it, it would be difficult to say. Sylvester Baxter takes THE WHEEL A the ground, writing in REFORMER. the Arena of the Social and Economic Influences of the Bicycle,’’ that it will finally supplant all other conveyances of men. Far reaching results, says he, may confidently be expected in a future by no means remote. The bicycle, with its light and graceful metallic construction, its re- markable strength in proportion to its weight, its noiseless rubber tires, both its friction and the wear and tear to the high- way reduced to a minimum, contains the elements of a new type of vehicle that will come into universal use with the supplanting of animal traction by mechanical traction which must come with the development of électricity. Horses and other draught ani- mals will eventually disappear entirely from the — 9 Just as they are now rapidly vanishing from the street railways. ‘*Multitudes of light vehicles, of various sizes, impelled by electricity, will speed noiselessly in every direction, and bicycles will de numbered by the thousand, their utility for transportation, as well as their value for pleasure and exercise, immensely enhanced. The effect upon the development of cities Will be nothing less than revolutionary. Not only will the advance of public convenience be invaluable, but the comfort and the health of the people willbe promoted to a corre- sponding degree. All but an insignificant percentage of the exasperating noise and confusion of city life proceeds fromthe harsh rattle and clatter of vehicles in the streets. This will be entirely abated, and the main source of the nervousness that so universally affiicts city dwellers, will disappear. To this benefit to health.will be added another no less important, Any observer can see that the filth inces- santly deposited in the city streets is almost wholly due toanimals. Withthe disappear- anee of this, a vast amount of disease pro- duced by the microbes thus continually sent broadcast into the air, will thus be pre- vented, 6 LITERARY MEN AND DICTIONARIES, Andrew Lang Says He Hasn’t a Lexicon in His House.

MOB LAW IN THE UNITED STATES. An English View of Lynchers and the Fire Island Riot. From the Liverpool Journal of Commerce. America is the country which seems destined to solve problems for the rest of the world. The restless Yankee does not confine his energies to mechanical inventions and im- provements, nor even to manipulating the markets of Wall street. His pecullarly ner- vous temperament and excitable nature im- pel him to combine with his fellow citizens, and in an organized mob act in defiance of the authorities whom he has him- self elected. The lynchings which take place so constantly in America prove to us that the principle of voting for every officer of the State, when carried to its most extreme limit, cannot makethe ex- ecutive officerstruly the representatives of the people. This isonly natural, forthe peo- le elect their representatives when they are n their sober senses. These men endeavor tocarry out the fixed principles by which they are guided, and they are, or ht to be, undisturbed in their policy by the devel- opment of unexpected circumstances, When these cries, however, arise the people at large lose their heads and endeavor to force the hands of their officers, and if they fail to do so they proceed to usurp the powers ofthe State. Thus in America we see mob law as the final stage of the representation of the people, and may be excused if we assume that the experience of the country shows that in its extreme development government by a democracy—though a well educated one means no government at all.

Considerable interest has been awakened by the greater part of the Dundee whaling fleet abandoning the Davis Strait ‘‘fishing’' and taking their departure for the Antarctic seas. The venture is a purely commercial one and bas been in contemplation for some time, as the Northern whaling has in recent years become almost unremunerative, says Science, Shortly before the vessels sailed it became known that they might possibly af- ford some facilities for scientific work, and the Royal Geographical Society (London), the Meteoralogical Mice and other inst tutions took steps to obtain success- ful observations. Additional chronometers and standard compasses were supplied to all the vessels, together with a complete sst of the best meteorological instruments. The captains undertook to lay down their track as accurately as possible, and to fx the position and report upon the appearance of any land they might sight in the far south; also to observe the variation of the magnetic needle as frequently and carefully as they could. it is not, likely that 0 gees 8 graphical discoveries will be made, alt perhaps the coast of Graham’s — be followed farther south an more accurately mapped. Every- thing in this department must depend on the discretion of the captains and the caprice of the whales. The vessels will not try to make a high latitude unless it is necessary to do so in order to get a cargo, but the captains will not hesitate the ice If they find it to be necessary, aud from their long Arctic experience in ice-nav- igation it is safe to — that nothing less than an impenetrable barrier will stop them. Since the expeditions of Wilkes and Ross fifty years ago, no explorations worthy o the name have been made in Antarctic seas. The Challenger, probably the only steamer that has gone so far south, merely crossed the Antarcticcircle and, being unprotected against ice, had immediately to return.

One of the most famous of Swinburne’s es- ea pades occurred after a dinner at the Lon- don Art Club, when the poet expressed his disapproval of his fellow-members by making an attack on their hats, scattering them on the foorand dancing in à frantic rigadoo upon them. An admirable buriesque of the affair appeared in one of the comic papers. It was cast in the form ofa parody of Swin- burne’s own imitations of the Greek manner My name that was a healing. it is changed, My name isaconsuming.

In his Hopes and Fears for Akt,“ the Idle Singer’’ explains his aptitude for work thus candidly: , I tried to think what would happen to me if I were forbidden my ordinary dally work, and I knew that I should die of despair and weariness unless I could straightway take to something else which I could make my dally work; and it was clear to me that I worked not in the least in the world for the sake of earning leisure by it, but partly driven by the fear of starvation or disgrace ,and partly, andeven avery great deal, because I loved the work itself. Andas for my leisure, well, Ihad to confess that part of it I do indeed spend asa dog does—in contemplation, let us say—and like it well enough; but part of it lalsospend in work, which work gives me just as much pleasure as my bread-earning work—neither more nor less—and, therefore, could be no bribe or hope of my workaday hours,’’ In brief, the Idle Singer, like all men of high attainment, has been one of the most unremitting workers of his generation. HE FED ON RUSKIN’S TEACHINGS. Born of well-to-do parenta at Waltham- stow in 1834, Mr. Morris in youth experienced the usual advantages and disadvantages ofa regular academic training. From Mambor- ough College he proceeded to Oxford Univer- sity, where in due course he graduated in 1857. He was an excellent classic, but, as generally happens with men of genius, he of the river. | Down there dips the highway, toward be bridge Sie FoR * 5 7 a 5 3 ** . * — * — — * rw ARS Aaa i . , ’ . 1 . * * - n 4 > Ne * er * : * crossing W ey 1 F This ove thou art given 80 — hee and Come back to the inn he. | 4 « ~~ ’ 1 * lights ana For there in a while shall be rest and desire, And there shall the morrow's uprising be sweet. ‘*‘WHEN NONE SHALE GATHER GOLD.“ Where are there lovelier * lovelter rhythms, lovelier English? socialist verses in the book are not the le Fj able.

For all these shall be ours and all men’s, nor shall any lack a share Of the toil and the gain of livingin thedsys when the world grows fair. Wiiliam Morris lives at Kelmscott House, Hammersmith. Although. there is nothing remarkable about the outside of Kelmscott House, even thegrimly bargemen Know it. The house is square and high like someof its neighbors, and over the front gate an old world iron lantern-holder tells of the customs ofthe past. But as soon as you open the front door youare in another world. Rows of pictures meet theeye as you enter, and you have a vision of old oak, wrought iron, and shelves and shelves of bulky old vol- umes, arranged, not as if they were part of a show library, but as if they were in daily, hourly use. And such is indeed the case, In a lower room, near the window, stands a hand- press, an almost exact model of the ola days of Caxton, Guttenberg, Schoeffer, Coster and Castaldi. It is from that press that Morris turns forth the most artistic work in typography. Henry Austin Dobson. Henry. Austin Dobson, poet and critic, was born in Plymouth, England, in the year 1840. He was educated at Strasburg, and his par- And the fiddler’s old tune and the shufiig of j oy ‘Tennyson pays to Arthur ih.

In so Saying I do not forget the stately verse of **Lycidas,*’ in which Milton mourns the death of his friend, Edward King, or the ex- quisite beauty of Adonais, which Shelley dedicates to his friend John Keats. But. for me at least, the tribute which Henry Hal- lam has a pathos and a power which neither of these, nor any other, pos- sesses. I am inclined to think, moreover, that it marks the highest flight of his gentus. Begun, probably, in 1833, when his friend died and he himself was 24 years old,the prologue, probably written last, is dated 1849, when he was 40. Undoubtedly the poem was penned at intervals, as the spirit moved — 8 these sixteen years, which represent the pas- sage from the bloom of youth to the fruitage of mature manhood, That it was,in every sense, a labor of love everybody knows, and that in it we have the author at his best, few will feei inclined to deny. But (and here is its chief merit and charm for me) ‘‘In Memoriam’’ is very much more than merely an elegiac poem of the first order. It is the only poem, ancient or modern, which looks the great problem of human existence—the Whence, the Where- fore and the Whitber—fairly in the face, and is not ashamed /or afraid to question the Sphynx. And it the only poem thoroughly in harmony with what Gernfins call ‘‘the Time-Spirit;’’ which expresses in words that all can understand, the mental attitude of those who Know and feel the results of modern science and the tendency of modern thought. For the many In Memoriam“ may now have no message, but as ‘‘the thinking few’’ are constantly eniarging to the thinking many, its audience will surely gtow with the growing years; and as the theme is one which never can become Hat, stale and uaprofitable,’’ the song sung in the middle of the nineteenth century will have lost none of its truth, its tenderness, its fas- cination in the middle of the twentieth. 1 1 K * j 8 a 8 . * t * . 5 88 2 ae ae . 2 n ‘ SER eae ve ad aed * ie 2 5 — 9 * 2 1 N A Sor tam nn ** Oe a 1 n es Se oe 2 =.

AS A SOCIALIST. William Morris is, as is well known, a member of the Socialistic body called the Socialistic League. Nor will his opinions pave the way to the honorable and tuneful easier shocked. That may be true. Never- theless this criticism was written of Swin- burne ten years after he gave Poems and Ballads“ to the world: Among the ultra pre- Raphaelites, the Rossetti, Solomon, Burne Jones and Morris School, he has less followers and admirers than worshipers. This is not strange, for Swinburne’s poetry is necessarily decora- tive. For it is essentially unmanly; exquisite their despair.

What does Swinburne look like? One por- trait gives an excellent idea of his face, with his small mouth, his weak chin, and his ut- terly disproportionate forehead. His eyes are large and luminous, uncertain jin color, because always changing with his thoughts. For the rest, he is small—only five feet two in height—and slightly and delicately built. His manner is frank and cordial. He isa wonderful talker, and is fond of reading his own poetry. He lives with Theodore Watts, the painter and critic, who is his most en- thusiastic admirer. In these quiet bachelor quarters, which are without London on the road to Wimbledon, Swinburne has amassed a rare collection of literary curlos. Being somewhat deaf he eschews general society. He loves to take long cross-country walks, wearing a broad-brimmed, soft felt hat, seldom lifting his eyes from the ground, but distributing cakes and candy among the youngsters whom’ he meets by the way. There is one thing upan which he prides him- it rains hardest. 2 He never wears an overeoat, writes one who recently saw him at Wimbleton, and the only change in his apparel which I have noticed during the winter months is that the color of his clothes is now all black, even to his necktie, and that he has begun to wear a despises such luxuries.’’ THE* LOVELY ‘‘ATALANTA.’’ Swinburne’s first work was published when he was about 18 years old. It was once meet with recognition, although by thinking men the author of it was recognized as breathing the true poetic fire. In 1865 came reads like a translation of Soph¥cles made by Sophocies himself. The perfect grace of the lyrics,the symmetry of the form and the har- of the whole poem received immediate recognition, and the poet became not merely the idol of a limited set; but the acknowl- edged **coming man! of poetry. | GLORIOUS MEASURE. 75 These lines are from the last speech of Al- theace in Atalanta in Calydon.”” . .

But at Dest his work has never touched humanity. He has often soared, but more withthe elevation that ignores than invites pursuit. There is no faith in the whole of his works, only a dreary, morbid materialism, a constant repetition of the dirge, ‘‘Vanity, vanity, allis vanity.’’ SOME FLESHY VERSES. His Poems and Ballads’’ appeared in 1866. The dedication to Burne Jones is one of the most beautiful lyrics in the language. But there is that in Poems and Ballads“ that may be an insurmountable obstacle in Swin- burne’s way as the successor of Tennyson, As has been said, Swinburne has been a most malignant assaller of everything Glad- stonian. But his habits, his sense of pro- priety, are not nice. The former might easily be overlooked, but Gladstone is a great stick- ler for the proprieties in sbeech and in be- havior, and it is a very grave question whether Swinburne would be acceptable as poet laureate to Queen Victoria, model as she is of allthe virtues. FAUSTINE. As far as one pole of the earth from the other are these verses separated from the Atalanta: Let me go over your good gifts That crown you queen; A queen whose kingdom ebbs and shifts Fach week, Faustine. Bright heavy brows well gathered up; White gloss and sheen, Carved lips that make thy lips a cup To drink, Faustine. GF Wine and rank person, milk and blood, Being mixed therein Since first the devil threw dice with God For you, Faustine. ~ Your naked, new-born soul their stake, Stood blind between; God sald, Let him that wins her take And keep Faustine.’' « But this time Satan throve, no doubé, Long since, Iween,: » God's part in you was battered out; Long since, Faustine. E The die rang sideways as it fell, Rang cracked, and thin, Like a man’s laughter beard in hell Far down, Faustine. A shadow of laughter like a sigh, Dead sorrow’s ken; So rang, thrown down, the devil's die That won Faustine. THE PRAISE OF VENUS. So runs along the poem. Hear this, too, trom Laus Veneris’’: Beloved. my Venus, my soul 's body, lies With my love laid upon her garment- wise, Feeling my love in all her limbs and hair, And‘shed between her eyelids through her eyes. She holds my heart in her sweet open hands Hanging asleep; hardjby her head there stands, : : as the lines @re, true though the feeling of- times may de, the essence of Swinburne’s writing is unhealthy and impure,’ His tirades upon The Roses and Raptures of Vice’ are those of a welleducated undergraduate de- fore he has seen what that sort of thing is in reality. His references to ‘Blood and Blos- som’ are only laughable. Hiss passion was never fine, never exalted, never thrilling.’’ THE SISTERS.’’ Early in this year Swinburne published a tragedy, ‘*The Sisters, which is by no means an extended or elaborate composi- tion. The dramatis persons numbered no more than six. The time covered is but two or three days. But the deepest emotions and the strongest passions are expressed. It was published in full by the SuNDaAY PoSs8T-DISs- PATCH at the tlime it appeared. William Morris. Here is another man who may take up the lyre that death snatched from the hands of Tennyson. He is William Morris, the delight- ful poet who goes back to ancient Greek and old Norse themes for his inspiration, adjures modern life and describes himself in those oft-quoted limes as The idle singer of an empty day. Morris’ figure is the most picturesque in England. He is a stout, sturdy, stalwart man, who looks frankly out upon the world with bright blue eyes that illumine his ruddy face. His grand, massive head is covered with a shock of gray hair, tumbled about in wild disorder, while his upper lip, which is short, and his chin are covered with a gray mus- tache and beard. He is usually clad in the same fashion—a black slouch hat, black sack coat and a pic- turesque blue shirt, with collar to match. In winter time he envelopes himself ina thick, dark cape. Ithas been said that the poet was once seen at a dinner where there were ladies in irreproachable evening dress, but few, even of his most intimate friends, postthat Tennyson occupied. Although he is by far the most distinguished member of the League, and although itis maintained largely by his gefierosity, he takes his place inthe ranks with the poorest or humblest member on a footing of democratic fraternity, and allows himself.to be ordered about just as the majority chonses. Sometimes ignorant men at the committee meetings assign Morris his particular task; a judgment with which the poet instantly complies. He is perhaps ordered by the committee to speak in some open space, now at one end, now perhaps at the other end of London. And on the follow- ing Sunday morning there will be the author of *‘The Earthly Psradise’’ haranguing a crowd of poor men on their grievances. **MOTHER AND CHILD.’’ He has written one very original and strik- ing poem called Mother and Child,’’ of which this will give an inkling: Lo amidst London J lift thee, And how little and light thou art, And thou without hepe or fear, Thou fear and hope of my heart! Lo here thy body beginning, O son, and thy soul and thy lite; But how will it be 1f thou livest, And enterest into the strife, And in love we dwell together When the man is grown in thee, When thy sweet speech I shall hearken, And yet twixt thee and me Shall rise that wall of distance, That round each one doth grow, And make:h it hard and bitter Each other's thought to know? Now therefore while thou art little and hast no thought of thine own, I will tell thee a word of the world; of the hope whence thou hast grown; Of the love that once begat thee, of the sorrow that hath made Thy little heart of hunger, and thy hands on my bosom laid, Then mayst thou remember hereafter, as whiles when people say All this hath happened before im the life of another day.

D.“ Une Marquise, with a few slight verbal altera - tions, now finds a place in Old World Spell - ng. Avice“ appears among Vignettes in Rhyme,’’ while 4 Song of Angiola in Heaven’’ is now included among the miscel- laneous poems. Mr. Dobson’s first volume of verse was published in 1878 under the title of ‘‘Vignettes in Rhy me. It was followed by ‘*Proverbs in Porcelain’’ in 1877, and Old World Spelling’’ and At the Sign of the Lyre’’ succeeded at intervals. Here is his: ‘‘When I Saw You Last, Rose. When I saw you last, Rose, You were only so high; How fast the time goes. Like a bud ere it blows You just peeped at the sky. When I saw you last, Rose. Now your petals unclose, Now your May-time is nigh How fast the time goes. And a Hfe—how it grows! You were scarcely so shy, When I saw you last, Rose. In your bosom it shows 7‘ There’s a guest on the sly; (How fast the time goes!) Is itcupid? Who knows! Yet you used not to sigh, When I saw you last, Rose— How fast the time goes! **THE CRADLE. ’* The Cradle’’ is short and sweet: How steadfastly she worked at 101 How lovingly had rest With all her would-be mother’s wit That little rosy nest! How longingly she’d hung on it! It sometimes seemed, she said, There lay beneath its coverlet A little sleeping head. 9 He came at last, the tiny guest, Ere bleak December fled: That rosy nest he never pres Her coffin was his bed. Austin Dobson, like a true artist, works slowly. All the poetry he has written in twenty years might be compassed within the space of two or three moderate sized vol- umes. He laments the hurry of this time in one of his roudeaux: Scant space have we for Art’s delays, Whose breathless thought so briefly stays. We may not work—ah! Would we might! With slower pen. SOME MASTERPIECES. His ballad entitled The Prodigals“ is usually looked upon as the premier ballade of our language. Itis, at any rate, the first that Mr. Dobson wrote, and in the opinion of many itis his best. It is distinguished from his lighter verse by the serious purpose which underlies itand fulfills the highest alm of poetry in being a ‘‘criticism of life.’’ Thus Dobson sings in Une Marquise: As you sit at your ease. O Marquise! And the men flock round your gnees Thick as bees. Mute at every word you utter. Servants to your least frill futter. Belle Marquise!“ As you sit there growing prouder, And your ringed hands glance and go.

HIS PEN IN TRUST TO ART. be placed at the side of Wordsworth’s She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways, and Matthew Arnold’s ‘*Requiescat.’’ Both Mr. Dobson’s quaint humor and his perfect mastery of that most difficult of all. the French measures, the villanelle, are exhib- ited in He Stands at the Kerb and Sings.’ Truly it may be said of Dobson in his own wores and herein may lie one of his strongest claims to the position of laureate—that for more than twenty years he has Held his pen in trust To art, not serving shame or lust.

A Strike or an Increase of $60,000 for the Railway Telegraphers. Another conference was held yesterday between the Executive Committee of the Order of Railway Telegraphers and the chief officials of the Gould system as to making a schedule of salaries for railroad telegraphers and train dispatchers. The committee is rapidly bringing its busi- nesstoa closeanda decision of the Gould officials is looked for in few days. After the consultation yesterday morning the meeting adjourned to Monday. D. G. Ramsey, Grand Chief of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, was seen after the meeting and asked if the officials had acceeded to the demands ofthe men. No, not yet,’’ he said, ‘*but we expect a decision Monday. When the committee first came here they asked that a schedule be made advancing the pay of the telégraphers in the aggregate for the year, $80,000. The officials would not agree to that, though they granted us what we asked regarding rulesand pay for overtime. The committee reduced its demands to $60,000 increase, and the officials agreed to raise the aggregate wages This did not satisfy the they insisted on of $60,000, as they had already come down ,000 from their original schedule. The officials said they would have to consult with Mr. Gould and the other officers before they made a final answer and the meeting adjourned to next Monday. Weare then to learn whether we are to get the $20,000 difference between our demand and what they have offered. There are 915 operators in the employ of the Gould system and eighty train-djspatchers making in all 1, 00 men.

The four vessels were the United States Ship Yorktown (senior officer’s ship) the Mo- “hican, the Adams and the revenue cutter ‘Rush, to be reinforced later by the United States ship Ranger, the Fish Commission _ Steamer Albatross (omcered from the navy) and the revenue steamers Bear and Oorwin— ‘there being various good reasons for these last not meeting at Port Tqwnsend at that timo. xen OUTCOME OF THE CONVENTION. Tue dispatching of this fleet was the out-. ‘come. of a convention of representatives from the United States Government and that of Great Britain held on Feb. 29, 1892, at which it was agreed to submit to arbitration the questions which have arisen between the two countries concerning the jurisdictional rights ofthe United States in the waters of Behring Sea, and the preservation of the fur geal in, or habitually resorting to, the said ea, and the rights of the citizens or subjects as regards the taking of fur seal in, or habit- ‘usuali resorting to, tne said waters. The “two high contracting parties having differed as to what restrictive measures were neces- sary, — . to ad qust tue differences during the pendency ofthe arbitration. The repro- sentatives to conclude this convention were: James G. Blaine, Sec- retary of State, and for Great Britain, the Hon. Sir Julian Pauncefote, British Minister to the United States. The representatives concluded a setof ar- n which each vernment agreed to +-¥ its dest efforts to insure the prohibition of the 1 of fur seals in Behring Sea dur - ing the pendency of the arbitration (in excess of 7,800 on the Prebyl Islands necessary for the subsistence of the 4 N Any ves- * Bel or person offending against this expressed hibition in the Behr Sea becomes lia ble to seizure by the navalor other duly commis- Sioned officers of either government and to be handed over, as soon as practicable, to the authorities of the nation to which such ves- — or person belonged, who alone should BDave jurisdiction to try the offense and im- pose the penalties for the same, the result of the arbitration should be to Arm the right of British sealers to take ‘Seals within the limits claimed by the United States, then compensation shall be made by ‘the United States to Great Britain, for her subjects, for abstaining from the exercise of that during the pendency of the arbitration, upon the basis of such regulated and limited catches asin the opinion of the arbitrators might have been taken without an undue diminution of the seal herds. I, on the other hand, the result should be to deny the right of the British sealers to take seale within the said waters, 2ompensa- tion should be made by Great Britain tothe United States (for itself, itscitizens and lessees) for this agreement to limit the island catch to 7,500 a season, upon the basis of the difference between this number and such large catch as in the opinion of the arbira- tors might have been taken without an undue diminution ofthe seal herds. The amount awarded, if any, ineither case, should be just and equitable and promptly paid. The convention was toncluded in Washing- ton April 18, 1892, and re-established the modus vivendi of last year,which terminated by limitation May 1, 1892. This convention, by its representatives, was satistied by both 42 contracting parties and affirmed the British Sea Fishing (Behring Sea) act of 1891. THE PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION. On Feb. 16, 1892, the President of the United States hadissued a proclamation, quoting 986, Revised Statutes (chapter 8, title sec. / 28), regarding the killing of fur-bearing ani- { mais within the limite of Alaska Territory, ; under a penalty of a nne of not less than $200, nor more than $1,000, or imprisonment of not more thansix months or both. Also sec. 3 ofan act to provide forthe protection of the salmon üsheries of Alaska, in which said sec. 1, 986 is declared toinciude and apply to all the dominion of the United States in the waters of Behring Sea. Accordingly, on April 25, 1892, the Secretary of the Navy issued to Commander Kvans in- structions to cause the vessels under his com. mand to warn all American and British ves- sels they met outside of Behring Sea not toenter the prohibited waters for the pur. pose of sealing, and to deposit on board each Vessel so warned a copy of the convention for a modus vivendi), of the President's lamation of the British Seal Fishery Behring Sea) act, and of the instructions. ntry of notice to be made all vessels and notiged. In conclusion the order read: ‘‘Any vessel found to be or tu have been employed in seal- ing within the prohibited waters of the Behring Sea, whether with or without warn- ing, and any vessel found therein, whether warned or not, having on rd implements for taking seals or sealskins or bodies of | seals, will be seized. It the vessel be British, she will be taken to Oonalaska and turned over to the senior British naval officer in Behring Sea; If American, to Sitka and turned over to the officer of the United States District Court.“ THE BITUATION RESUMED. The foregoing quotations are somewhat lengthy, but necessary to a proper under- standing of affairs inand about Behring Sea. ‘First, there is the statute of the United States, which prohibits the Killing of fur (except as provided for food) within the Behring Sea. Next, the United States Gov- ernment establishes that limit by a line of demarcation, based Ar the treaty of 1867, between the United States and Russia, said line crossing the seventeenth meridian, east longitude, at 53 deg. 50 min. north latitude, way between Kormandorski Island (Rus- sia) and Attu Island (American), thence northward and eastward to midway between Day Island andthe mainiand (Rus- sian) at Cape Nisseminni, thence to Diomede Island in Behring Strait.

This hasatinge of cowardice, ‘to de in every man’s % the better part of valor. but there are times life when discretion Now a Frenchman’s point of view is entirely differ- ent. He thinks that the feet can servea much better end than to transport their owner out of harm’s way. Instead of help- ing him away from a difficulty, they help him over it. The ingenious Gaul finds his feet handy weapons of defense, and when at- tacked defends himself with all his limbs; sure, wherein he shows his good sense by ex- hausting all the means of defense nature has placed at his disposal. Your American lover of the manly art can mot be brought to believe that a kick, no matter how delivered, is legitimate fighting. The Frenchman by a judicious mental refine- ment finds reason anda wholesome utility ' Jeaning toward his side of the argument, and when one passes from esoteric abstrac- tion tothe domain of experience, the prac- ‘tical utility of Monsieur’s system outweighs the vague questions of honor that are sup- posed to underlie the American method of self-defense. Under certain conditions itis unfair to ex- pect one to render to others what they do not render to him.

Some even claim to be adle >t ‘teeth without loss of com- ect. The — Kicks recognized and taught by exponents of the art area low kick on the shins, a heel kick on the body, atoe kick on the head and a vicious whirling kick with tue whole foot, which, to misquote, is ever so much more dlessed to give than toreceive. All these. have various methods of delivery aud corresponding parries as will be seen. In the art of savate,as in dancing, the first and apparently most dificult thing to learn and remember is to keep the weight of the body on the hind leg. Every one who has mastered waitzing or fancy dancing will remember the necessity of balancing the body by keeping the weight off the forward fout, which is performing the motions. The Same pripciple holds in savate. When itis remembered that in most of the movements the feet constantly change places, the nov- ice finds it no easy task to keep his weight off the foot furthest forward. If he takes the liberty of forgetting this axiom, he will find ita source of sad remembrance afterward. A dextrous sweep of his opponents leg takes the misplaced foot and weight from under aim and he yields to the persuasive force of gravity. The first kick taught the beginner is the coup de savate, an ordinary toe kick, which | can field in youthful days the young Ameri- acquires on the football and afterward bestows on offensive * 100 775%.

If he be a boxer, with a wall behind him, he may prove himself a match for two, even four, adversaries, but the chances are the force ot numbers will drive him to seek safety in glorious flight, when a few kicks scientif- cally delivered would carry consternation into a phalanx of foes. It begins to look as ‘though there really was something after all 3 this French system of fighting with four 8. The system — for the Gaul has actually re- Guced foot-fighting toa system- is called the **savyate’’ which literally means old shoe. Americans are prone to bestow their ancient foot gear onthe bride as she leaves the parental roof; but the Frenchman has a dis- couraging habit of giving the old shoe’’ to people who intercept his progress after dark with the intention of separating him from his valuables. It seems strange that the French peopie, who have such a neat and efficacious way of utilizing their underpinnings should have no one word that corresponds with the concise, energetic American monosyllable kick. Ihe nearest they can come to it is the three worded rase coup de pied’’ or stroke of the foot. owever, by a curious use of the container for the thing contained they manage to con - vey the idea by the terms ‘‘Savate,’’ old shoe, or Chausson, which meaas a light shoe or Tue Savateasa legitimate system of fight- foot and accuracy of aim that is as admira- ble as itis efficacious. It is no uncommon | canines. It is aimed at an adversary’s shin and is parried by him in one of these ways: First by bending the knee soas to bring the foot up and back out of the reach of danger by jumping forward over the extended foot and dealing the kicker a blow in the face or by jumping back, seizing the extended foot and by an upward whisk, sending the Kicker over on his back. The coup de flanc, or side kick, is dealt with the heel. It may be low or high and may attack the face, side or chest of an adversary. Whenthechest is aimed at it may be parried by a spring back and catch- ing the extended foot with both hands. When the point of attackis the face the parry is the reverse of this. The adversary \gtrikes up the foot, and tries thereby to thr the attacker over on his back. When the kick is aimed at the side, which is most often the case, it is portentous. The natural parry is to throw the foot off by a sweep of the arm. The danger lies in the fact that it invites the coup de pied tournant, a move - ment somewhat akin to the pivot blowin boxing and quite asterrible and efficacious. Itcomes with lightning-like rapidity and terrific force that defies defense. When the defender flings the attacker’s foot tothe right or left, the latter with the momentum im- parted wheels round like a flash and lanas on his opponent with the fearful impactof a full swing. The best parry for that blow Isto get out of its way, and that is all that can be “said about it. The chasse croise. or cross kick, is another vicious movement. It is a heel kick delivered when rushing and has both the momemtum and weight of the body behindit. Thecoup de vache, or cow kick, is very similar although delivered exactly similar to the well-known hitch-kick.

It corresponds to the boxer’s points on sparring for an opening. The accompanying cuts show better than words can do the efficacy, beauties and re- sources of the Gaelic method of self-defense. It is not a gentle art. Why should it be? In a contest between experts it would prove neither less interesting from a spectacular standpoint or more brutal from a humane view than the late Sullivan-Corbett fight. Will Americans adopt it? Well the nation has always shown kicking propensities, po- litically and otherwise, and the present probable fever may yet yield some apt pupils ofthe savate.

New York, Oct, 12,—The ordinary billiard- player chalks his cue knowingly, fddles with it awhile, makes his shot—and misses. Then he swears at the cue-tip. After awhile he learns not to swear and about the same time he finds he can make runs of ten or twelve at the three-ball game, So gradually he rises— that is, his runs grow bigger—until, proud man, he reaches a point where Ives, Slosson, 1 1 1. 2. Schaefer, Daly and the few other men who really understand biliiards offer to play him a hundred or no count, a Ives, Slosson, Schaefer, Daly and that set are, everybody knows, the very best players. They make the biggest runs and make them oftenest. They know the angles of a billiard table as well as a mother knows her child or a girl her lover’s handwriting. But every- body does not know, by @ long shot, that there is a billiard- player in town who under- stands the game as well asthe expertest of those experts and whocan make shots ofa brilliancy they never dreamed of. His name is Kaarlus—Prof. Kaarius, for he teaches the game. New biliflard ideas are constantly coming to him and he invents new shots every other day. Kaarlus might be called the Edison of billiards, In order to teach a man to play for vos! tion, that he may exactly know where the ball he first hits is going, Kaarius invented the two-ball game of bililards. It is cer- tainly artistic and ingenious. The object is to strike the red ball with the white and then catch the red a second time on the fly after the white ball has hit at least one cushion. Some of the diagrams that adorn this col- umn illustrate the best shots in the game. Diagram No.1 shows a close draw. Balll - / / 4 ‘.

By a vigorous sorce- — ball 2 is driven around the table over the dotted line, and ball 1 strikes it again, after taking two cushions,at 3 V/ the cross indicated. Diagram 8 shows a double cushion draw-shot. Ball 2 going around the table meets at the cross ball 1 that has struck the cushion twice. In dia- gram 4a close follow is shown. Ball 1 fol- lows ball 2and, after taking two cushions, strikes it again at the cross, When you try that shot be careful you don't push. Diagram No. 5 illustrates a very remarkable jump-shot, which, with all the others, Kaarlus practically tllustrated in a private billiard-room the other evening. Ball 1 kisses ball 2, curves around the table and again meets ball 2atthe cross. In dia m No.6a shot is shown in which by a little billiard jugglery a ball runs along the cush- ion awhile, drops tothe table again, and woes on its unerring course. Bail 1, after striking ball 2. jumps upon the cushion, re- turns to the table, and having hit two more cushions, again meets ball? at the cross. Kaarlus is apyrotechnist at Dilliards. He has some skwrockat shots that he calls ‘‘wing shots’’ becatise he brings down his bird as accurately as they pop pigeons at Monte Carlo. These shots are as much like ordinary billiard shots as Lottie Collins is like a Qua- ker maiden. They are executed with three balls and all of them require three strokes of the cue, and some of them four. Diagram No. 7 shows one that requires four strokes of the cue. It is a duplex, double cue draj. Ball 3 is first drivenagainst the end cushion andis struck a second time when near the upper cushion and curves slowly _to- wards the left-hand uppor corner. While ball 3 is still rolling ball 1 is driven against the end cushion. As bail 1 returns it is struck againso that it hits ball 2. Ball 1 flies across the table to the right-hand cush- ion and there caroms on ball 8 at the cross. A double cue curve masse, as rlus calls it, is illustrated in diagram Ne. 8, Ball 8 is eee — om 5 7. 8. first driven against t and as it returns 5 eae when near the left hand cushion, so curves gracefully to the right hand the upper cushion.

It is shown herein dia- gram No. 11; ball 1 follows ball 2 until near the lower cushion, Then, without touching the cushion, balll returns on a curve and caroms on ball 3. Kaarlus is a big muscular Frenchman, and he keeps himself in fine shape by playing billiards. But he plays athletic billiards.’’ He has an idea that the exercise afforded by an ordinary game of billiards is not enough to keepa man in training. He thinks the very best indoor recreation is enjoyed when the billiard player carries upon his shoulders a weight proportionate to his strength. He recommends the following scale of weights: Forty pounds for featherweights, 60 pounds for lightweights, 80 pounds for middle- weights, 100 pounds for heavyweights, Kaarlus carries 100 pounds and then touches off his pyrotechnics. If anyone thinks he can beat kaarlus at these games he can find him and $10,000 at Maurice Daly’s. NEW FACTS ABOUT HUMMING BIRDS, How They Fight Big Birds and One An- other, and Rob Spiders. Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. The Smithsonian Institution at Washington has just issued a monograpb about humming birds. One reason why these daintiest of feathered creatures are interesting is that they were unknown tothe white man until Columbus discovered the New World, their range being confined to the continent of America. It is not the naturalist alone who has found them worthy of attention. The demand for them is great for ornamental purposes. Dealers, mostly Frenchmen and Belgians, have established themselves in many cities of South America for the sole ob- ect of buying and exporting humming birds. rom Santa Fe de Bogeta alone sands of skinsare annually sent and Paris. The Indians rapidly ſearn the art of skinning and D because of the exceptional profits to got dy th industry, they often traverse great distance to procure the birds. Residents of man parts of Brazil employ their slavés in col- lecting and preparing them for European markets, and great numbers are shipped from Rio de Janeiro, Bahia and Pernambuco, Inmates of the convents are supplied with many of the most richly colored species for the manufacture of artificial feather-flowers. Myriads of hummers are also used by the natives of Mexicoin making the wonderful feather- pictures for which the descendants of the Aztecs are famous, plumes of differént colors being employed in place of ieren Although the commercial demand for hum- ming-birds has been the cause of their whole- sale destruction, it has enabled paturalists to become better acquainted with them, the vast number of specimens contained in mil- liners’ and taxidermists’ stocks frequently yielding species which otherwise wouid have been likely to remain unknown to science. As to the methods by which collectors pro- cure them, many absurd notions are current. It is commonly said that thev are shot with water or with sand. Asa matter of fact, lead shot of the numbers 10 and 11 are employed. But by farthe most effective weapon is the reed blow-pipe, which the South.American Indians use with perfect certainty of aim, little balls of clay being projected by the breath, In Brazil ver fine ets are utilized to capture the birds, an times they are taken by means of bird-lime, which is apt to damage — 1 ot Owing tothe reckless sla ter of these little victims for ornamental purposes certain species are already on the verge o extinction, Ihis does not seem rprising when one learns that 30,000 skins of the ruby- and-topaz humming bird alone were shi not long ago from a Brazilian port in a single consignment, while at a publie sale of bird skins heldin London, March 21, more than 12,000 humming bird skins were disposed of. And in one week during the same year there were sold at auction in London more than 400,000 humming birds and other bi from North and South America. : The humming birds constitute the most re- markable feature of the bird life.of the New World. They have no representatives in any other part of the earth. About 600 dis- tinct species are * known, e others are being brought to life with every fresh collection made in Mexicg, Central America or America. ~The nests of humming birds are among the most beautiful examples of arcni- 0 nest : The hermits, /1 ©, fasten th: houses to the and of.

These winged pig exhibit a high degree of intelligence in concealing their nests by making them of such forms or materials as will resemble natural excrescences ofa branch such as a Knot or a pine-cone. The eggs laid are wa two in number and immaculately white, Two broods are produced in a season. Notwithstanding their diminutive ‘size, ‘pagnacity isone of the most conspicuous Traits of humming birds. Even king birds a the boldest hawks are afraid of them, ing compelled to retreat before the Impet- uous assauits of the tiny warrior, whose bold- ness is only equaled the lightning-Hke rapidity of his movements, thus baffling any attempt at resistance on the part of the more powerful adversary. The lancelike thrusts of the needle-like beak are usually directed atthe eyes of the enemy. When two or more individuals of either sex happen near the same spot, spirited and often violent conflicts are almost certain to ensue. An ornitholo- ist, writing on this subject, describes such a ttle between two humming birds, both of which desired possession of a flowering bush. Ie writes: The little creatures darted hither and | thither, inserting their long bills into the tube-shaped flowers with absolute precision and lightning-like rapidity, but all the while engaged in a flerce combat with each other. They constantly maintained a position facing one another and only sixor eight inches apart, suddenly rising a dozen feet into the air, where they would have a little battle, and suddenly dropping like two bullets on one string back tothe flowers, over and among which they would flit about like animated sunbeams. Occasionally they would flutter all the way to the ground through the leaves and branches, where they would lie and pummei each other like two school- boys, one on top and the other beneath, the top fellow pausing to take breath and then pummeling some more. The under bird would appear to give up and look very dilapidated, with out- stretched wings and alsordered feathers, but the moment the top fellow let go and rose up to the top of the bush the bottom one would be there facing him again.

A GREAT HORSE SHOW. It Recently Occurred at the Home of the Draft Horse. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. BRUSSELS, Oct. 4.—The greatest show of draft horses the world ever saw was recently held in this city under the Societe National des Eleveurs Belge. It was the seventh grand exhibition of Belgium draft horses made in Belgium and was, without doubt, the largest and best display made inthis country under the auspices of that society. A few Americans and quite a number of agents representing Americans wereat tle fair and made purchases of the bestof the stock offered for sale withthe idea of ship- ping them to America and breeding them, as the sturdy Belgian animal is much esteemed by thoughtful breeders in every civilized country. According to researches made by Chevalier Hynderick, it is shown that Belgium pos- sessed two pure equine races. The Ardennes horse, native of the valley of the Meuse, and the Frisian, a species of which inhabited the to many changes, according tothe «>70logt- cal and climatic conditions under wh.ch th are placed, and also as to the food provided, SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS. The special characteristics of the Belgian heavy draft horse are stature, form, strength and breed, The line of the back is straight, the rump long and the legs large and clean, He has less bulk and strength than the Clydesdale or shire horse, but is better and has more energy. He has more bulk and strength than either the Percheron or Boulonnais horse and possesses equally as much energy. About 1850 the Belgian Government estab- lished at Tervueren a depot for stallions. This was not a stud, but simply an establish- ment where stallions were admitted, the number being limited to sixty-five. Thor- oughbreds, half-bred, three-quarter bred, anda few Percherons were accepted, but no native stallions were admitted. The e system was based on two false ideas—first, that a race could be created by crossing, and, second, that it was possible to obtain well-balanced issue from the thoroughbred and working mare. The result was of ve little value; the mixed breed generally ha the ele t forequarters of the sire and the rump of the dam. GY 7 77) qo" WN ‘ 1 7A | . N NY a> Whe 4 “ 22 A . 4 * 2 66 1 1 seacost.

The Ardennes horse, which is perfectly adapted tothe mountainous regions, is an excellent type of the light draft horse.

POWERS AT ss sie hn The Olympic Theater presents on Sunday night one of the strongest attractions of the theatrical season in the shape of James T. Powers in a new three-act play entitled A Mad Bargain. The piece has been likened by — critics to that standard of all farces, ‘‘Box and Cox. The story of A „Mad Bargain’’ is coherent, consistent and thoroughly easy and natural. The scenic effects are both original and picturesque. The company is said to be excellent. AT THE STANDARD. At the Standard, commencing with the ‘Matinee to-day, Gus Hill’s New York Vaude- with this piece, Archie Boyd has proved nie stars will hold the boards for a week. himself to be no unworthy successor. In fact, some consider him the superior actor. Attimes, notably in the scene in front of Grace Church, Mr. Boyd rather_overdoes his part, but as a whole he is admirable. His support ts excellent, and the play is admir- ably staged. Reed & Collier’s ‘‘Hoss and Hoss, atthe Grand, would have received a warm welcome in St. Louis had there been no other reason for it than the fact that last season a benefit Was generously given to the Post-Dispatcu flood relief fund. But as good wine heeds no bush, Hoss and Hoss’’ needed no such ad- vertisement, as itis fully able to win on its own merits. The play is a faree- comedy. bat one a higher character than usual. Chaflie Collier as Oharlte Hoss and . Willie Reed as Judge Wine Hoss kept the house in roars of laughter. A. E. Moulton made a hit as Birdie Hoss, as did J. B. Gentry as the Sheriff, Hank Thanks, Adele Far- rington, who is a St. Louis lady, was a charming Sue Brette, and Miss Louisa Allen and Miss Helena Collins were excellent. The speciaities were admirably performed, and the troupe as a Whole excellent. 2 „ — . The produttion of Richard III.“ by Thos. W. Keene at the Hagan, is the most elaborate that he has yet attempted. Some of the scenery is very fine,.and all ean readily be made so by a few changes, as the perspective is bad in some instances. The costuming is handsome and, evidently, no expense has been spared. The worst feature Is in the ar- rangement, which is astonishingly incorrect, scarcely a weapon or a piece of armor belonging to the time of the last of the Plantagenets. Mr. Keene’s acting cannot be said to belong to the modern school. Thereis more rant and far less delicate work than was to be found inthe rendition of this character by Sullivan and Richard Mansfield, and the con- ception of the character is exaggerated throughout, Itisclaimed that such a rendl- tion was on authority of the Forrest school, but Mr. Keene should recollect that it is an extremely dangerous matter to at- tempt to conjure with Forrest’s wand, Audiences should be given credit for a considerable degree of intelligence, and it should not be considered necessary for the actor to take them into his confidence and show in the clearest manner that he is depictingaschemer and a hypo- crite, while the other characters are sup- posed to be blind to this fact. Had Richard in life behaved as Mr. Keene does onthe stage he would never have won the great success that history proves that he did. The real Richard was a man of most marked ability and powers of dissimula- tion. Mr. Keene’s Riéhard is a shallow knave whose hypocrisy. and double-dealing must have Deen evident tothe least penetrat- ing intellect.

On Thursday it was reported that Mrs. Langtry was suffer- ing from pneumonia and that she was be ing treated by Sir Andrew Clark. On investi- gation the report proved untrue, andon Thursday she played in ‘*The Queen of Manoa’’at Haymarket Theater as usual. Thursday, by the way, was the anniversary of Mrs. Langtry’s birth. Afterthe playa press representative had a conversation with Mrs. Langtry. She said had spent an un- fortunate day in bed with a cold that she had caught at a matinee she had given at Brighton. In addition to this her horse, Hilford, which ran Thursday in the race for the Middle Park plate at Newmarket, was defeated, and altogether the date seemed to be an unlucky one for her. Mrs. Langtry then proceeded to talk of her new play, Agatha Tylden, Merchant and Ship- owner,’’ which is now being rehearsed to replace ‘‘The Queen of Manoa.’’ In this Loxrpor, Oct. little new to woman of business, a part she has had to play in realty throughout her life, and which is therefore likely to be suitable for her.

But tae task proves too much for her strength and in the end she accepts with grati- tude the help she scorned at first. In a con- versation with Edward Kose, the author of the play, he said that Agatha was a char- acter not uncommon in novels, but one guite new to the stage. She isa Girton girl, seriously intellectual, not blustering, yet with the affections and weaknesses of a woman. Mrs. Langtry willhave ample op- portunity in her part to display the beautiful owns. Mr. Rose said he wrote the play a ngtimeago. It was not written to Mrs. Langtry’s order, but he had her ia his mind for the title role when he wrote it.

The committee, however refused to allowa prumenade or ttie sale of alcoholic liquors in the auditorium. The scheme, therefore, resolves itself into a theater where smoking will be permitted, instead ofa gi- gantic usic hall. Sir Augustus thigks that aristocratic ladies will patronize the stalls at the Palace Theater, and does not fear that the charging of higher rices for seats than are charged at the es ar music halls will act adversely to him.

Add to this at least $2,000,000 to pay for the after-play feeding and drinking, and a nice total of over halfa millioh dollars has been spent for dramatic fun and feed. Think of it! Over half a million dollars spent in one town in five days to witness mimic life. But there's more of this feature. The expenditure esti- team sporting the yellow and black. Both students meet a young lady and both incon- tinently fall tn love with her, Jack’s affec- tion being reciprocated. During the match the villian attempts in various ways to do“ his enemy, but is ‘‘doné’’ himself, and thus Jack easily overthrows the Yale giants, and single-handed carries his team to victory. In the next act Jack appears as a clerk in the bank, the president of which is his enemy’s father. His rival's hatred is increased by the fact that the affections of the lady to whom both are attached become more and more warmly centered upon Jack. He lays various pléts to throw suspicion upon his successful com- petitor inthe flelds of athletics and senti- ment, all of which are foiled by the shrewd- ness Of an old locksmith, who counterplots oan with complete success.

Panis, Oct. 5.—The first genuine dramatic success of the season has just taken place at the Theater du Gymnase. The fortunate play is entitled ‘‘A Parisian Drama.’’ It is in four acts and is by Ernest Daudet. It is written that it is A very good thing to be father-in-law to a very magnificent three- tailed Bashaw.’’ For ‘‘father-in-law’’ read brother“ in this instance. For if the author of the new piece had not stood in the latter relation to Alphonse of that ilk itis probable that A Parisian Drama’’ would still de promenading in manuscript from one manager’s office to another. For as a dramatic work it is by no means strong. It ever a Parisian playwright conde- scended to take an idea from an English col- league, One might imagine that it had been suggested by Mr. ard’s favorite play of Judah. The - 2 actor might indeed find in the new rama another success in the portrayal of those elerical personages that he delights in r re The hero of a Parisian drama is one of those eloquent preachers that one time or another has be- come the rage in French fashionable society, and of whom Pere Hyacinth is probably the most famous/ The Reverend Father Vig- nal is a Dominican monk who finds himself placed in the painful dilemma of permitting an innocent person to de condemned for the commission of a mysterious murder, or of betraying the secret of the confessional, for he alone knows the real culprit who has come to him to con- fess the crime. Both parties are women, the innocent accused of having been the mistress of the slain man, while the real but tinsus- ected criminal was his wife. The reverend ather gets out of the scrape very neatly by disclosing under oath that he knows who the murderer is, and that he must not reveal the name, having learned the fact at the guilty person’s confession, but that the accused party is certainly innocent. In spite of its numerous defects A Parisian Drama’’ will probably enjoy a prolonged career, as it possesses two incontestible points of attraction. One isthe trial scene, which is put upon the stage with very strong realistic effecjs. The other is the marshall- ing upon the stage ofa bevy of the prettiest actresses of Paris, all arrayed in resplendent tollettes of the latest fashion. The scene in which the elegant feminine hearers of Father Vig- nal wait to congratulate him on his brill lantand eloquent sermon at the moment that he takes his departure from the church, introduces a number of lovely girls in the most stylish of street costumes. Mlle. Dar- laud, who playsthe part of Rose Morgan, the naughty but unjustly accused little hero- i is especiall gorgeous. In the Rose organ goes to hear celebrated preacher in a dress of ribbed chamois colored velvet made with a jacket in white guipure, inter- woven with threads of gold, worn overa straight blouse in front of chamois-colored surah, which fits closely at the back. The skirt is edged with a band of sable fur placed above a narrow bias band in guipure. Inthe second act she is quite dazzling when she en- ters n an Empire evening wrap in silver ray velvet, embroidered with gray silk, rdered with sable fur, and having a high collar in gold passe- menterie. The ball dress 16 in gold-yellow tulle, thickly set with tiny gold spangles, and made over a princésse underdress in gold-yellow satin, which is finished at the hem with a border of yellow ostrich feathers. The corsage is composed of a network of turquoises veiled in spangled tulle. Hair or- namented with a cluster of black plumes and with diamonds. Rose Morgan, in the trial scene, appears before the jury in a costume of ruby velvet, sparkling allover with tiny red spangles and minute ruby beads, and she wears a small capote bonnet mainly composed of two black wings. This is about as inappropriate a getup as the charming actress could Well have imagined. But the chance to supplement her sensa- tional tollettes in the first two acts by still another was, I eo a temptation not to be resisted. Only she looks so pretty in it that I think that no jury would have found it in their hearts to convict her. Certainly no American jury would have done so, but French ones are less gallant. As actress, as a beauty and as the wearer of dazzling gowns, the success of the evening in the feminine division of the cast was undoubted. ly Mlle. Darlaud. of one Coulisse Chat.

Observations at the Lick Observatory Unsatistactory — Theories of Profs.

The principal feature of the meet- ing will be a discussion of the discoveries madeupon Mars at its recent opposition; this discussion being based on original data furnished to Prof. H. S. Pritchett, President ofthe Academy, by American astronomers who have specially devoted themseives toa study of the red planet under the recent ex: ceptionally favorable circumstances. OBSERVATIONS IN PERU. 1 Such interest attaches to the report from Prof, Pickering, who is in charge ofthe Harvard Observatory station at Arequipa, Peru, that it may be accorded first place in this resume. Prof. Pickering observed with only a twelve-inch telescope, a third rate lass in point of size, yet his altitude and the brilliant sky gave him remarkable facilities for seeing, and his work, therefore, is of the very highest Importance. He re- ports a series of conspicuous and startling changes on the sur- face of the planet—changes that were up- parent almost from day to day and that were accomplished on so extensive a scale that they might, he thinks, have quite easily been seen in six-inch tubes. That the surface of Mars is variable has long been suspected, for otherwise how could one explain the visibility of Schiaparelli’s canals at one time and their non-visibility at another. But the changes which the Peru observers have seen may truly be characterized as sensational, for they are of a magnftude and of a charac- ter wholly unlike anything of which we earthlings have any experience, and all ter- restrial analogies seem likely/to fail utterly to account for them. At Arequipa the canals were séen readily every evening. Many of them agreed with Schiaparelli’s, but several did not, and sev- eral of his strongly-marked ones are not round at all. Prof. Pickering is disposed to attribute this variability of visibility to sea- sonable changes. A very circum- stance is cited by Prof. Pickering: Some very well-developed canals cross what have If the really water-canalis water-oceans, there tainly some incongruity here. When the snow melts on ‘Mars, it really seems that there should be some oceans, and yet Prof, Pickering duestions whether what are usually knowg as canals and oceans really contain any water at all, that is, water which is visible as such; although it is possible and perhaps probable that they may owe their color indirectly to the pres- ence of water, either stationary or running. These oceans are not all of the same color, and sometimes one has seemed to be variable in color. One is described as sometimes dark gray, but when it is centrally on the disc and the seeing issatisfactory, it is of aclearly Gefined dark-blue color; and when it Is limb it is of a beautiful eans is cer- ace. If these are really oceans, their blue- ss must arise from their reflecting the lor of the Martial atmosphere, as water would under similar circumstances do upon ourearth. Prof. Pickering regards these as really seas. Until recently they have been u darker than the other supposed oceans, t another dark region (Terby sea) hasupon one occasion appeared quite black. The two forementioned spots have been mamed provisionally the Northern and Fqua- torial Seas. The boundaries of the latter are sharply defined. It is 1,300 miles long, east and west, and averages about two hundred miles in breadth. Itstotal area is 275,00) miles. The shape of the Northern Sea is an irrecu- lar quadrilateral 750 miles long and 600 miles broad. Its northern outlines are clearly de- fined but on the south it is bounde by a dark ay region never seen hitherto to be blue, nd it is therefore believed to be low land. e Northern Sea approzimates 225,000 quare miles. What we may, therefore, peak of as the permanent water of Mars amounts to about half a million square miles—ex- actly one-half the area of the Med- iterranean Sea. A glance at the map of our world will showthe enormous disparity in the water area of the two planets. From the immensely smaller water area of Mars one might expect the climate cf Mars to be much the drier of the two, and if the surface is not practically a desert we mayinfer that the deserts would be much more prominent than upon the earth. This naturally leads to a consideration of the queer areas seen by astronomers near the poles. Observers have noted that these areas almost totally disappear after the ver- nal equinox ot tne planet. The same effect has been noticed this year. Pickering has been able to detect scarcely a trace of them. Their reappearance would be a matter of great interest, as it would indicate the pres- ence of vegetable life upon Mars, and the presence of organic life would almost neces- gurily follow. This, however, is only a hy- pothesis, but Prof. Pickering says that no facts have yet been observed inimical to the idea. What he has demonstrated is the presence of water in a liquid form upon Mars, witha determination of its exact location and the area and shape of the surfaces per- manently covered by ft. As was expected the snow cap was very conspicuous at this opposition. In June the northern limit of the southern snow cap was latitude 65 south. This in our northern Hemisphere would correspond tothe latitude of Northern Siberia, Iceland and Northern British America. This was some thirty ys after the vernal Equinox and indicates that the line of melting snow was rather nearerthe pole than one miuht expect to find it on ourownearth at un corresponding period. On June 23 the area of tuts snow cap was 2,400,000 square miles. It rapidly melted away and on July 26 was only 80,000 square miles, The speed with which the snow cap disappeared indicate; that its depth is much less than that of the similar deposit covering the earth. The comparatively small snow caps of+ Mars do not necessar ily imply a warmer c!iimate than that of the earth, but Less snow would. how- ever, require less heat to meit it andthe surplus” would goto raise the temperature during the summer, but there would result a longer period of intense cold during the winter than exists upon the earth in propor- tion to the length of the year. Between June 23and July 26an area of 1. 600,000 square miles of snow had been con- verted into water. With our extensive oceans this would produce no material change upon the earth, but what would be the effect upon Mars with a permanent water area less than one-third that of our planet? Besides ypon the earth the semi-annual transfer Df the melted snow from pole to pole is made by meansof the oceans, but upon Mars this must take place across the land. One would naturally expect that a,consider- able proportion ofthe water uld be ab- sorbed or depos ited upon the way and this expectation hus been remarkably confirmed. pareas, in one instance equaling Lake Erie in extent, were seen to have anged color and to have put on the 2 3 8 2 » * 7 — aS 2 J 1 rR 8 sta ae . - 3 es : : » + near the bfight dlue color.

On one or two occasions Prof. Pickering saw what looked like a snowfallin the equa: torial mountain region. Ina day or two the covering was seen to have disappeared. ; AT LICK OBSERVATORY. At Lick observatory Mars was under obser- vation with the great telescope almost con- tinuously during July, August and September, Atwelve-inch telescope was also employed during much of the period. The altitude of the planet was too low to allow very satisfactor results, but no pains were spared to get all that could be got. The weather generally was favorable. Much was done in photographing the planet. Whilethe larger markings and the polar caps were plainly shown, it was found that drawings would give far better results. In 1894 the planet will be twice as high and — ae photographs can then De se- cure * Nearly 200 sketches of the planet have been secured. Many of them are very beautiful and complete. With the 38-inch telescope, a power of 350 diameters was usually employed. Occasionaliy a wer of 520 was brought to bear, but it cou be used only a short time to advantage, such being the unsteadiness of therair. How unfavorable the circumstances have been will appear from the statement that powers of 1. or more have been em- ployed on Jupiter and Saturn with good re- 8 ‘| Suits. The satellites have been closely examined ; their eclipses have been observed and their positions noted and distances measured. Small stars of something like the brightness ofthe moons were frequently seen, and, of course, they were scrutinized when so near the planet as to justify the opinion that they might be new satellites. For ever since the discovery of these tiny dots in 1877, astrono- mers have been alive to the possibility of one or perhaps more satellites revolving outside the outermost of these two. The polar cap received close attention. Its changes were decided and remarkable, and Prof. Holden ＋ 2 — the inquiry Whether a cap composed of dense clouds would not ex- hibit changes similar to those which have been observed. Extraordinary changes have taken place on the surface of the planet. In many cases a feature has remained tolerably constant during the whole opposition, but it is markedly different in its present form or color from the representations made in former years. In some instances there has been a change of form alone;in others a change of color; in a few cases the change of form and color seem to be associated. Up to the middle of August many of Schiaparelli’s canals were mapped, but none were seen double until Aug. I7 when Sthaer- berle, Campbell and Hussey made three en- tirely independent drawings, each showing Schiapareili’s Ganges canal to be double. The phenomenon was again seen on succeed- ing dates. Prof. Holden has deen observing Mars since 1875, and he says vee. een.

Missus loikes w’ere she can plunk ’ersel’ flat t’ grass, tho’ Hi allus says, Pol, grass an rheumatiz grows t’gether, an the young uns romps an gallops like mad. Hi says, Pol, them young uns U waste theirsel’s to bone from oppin an steamin round Kew.’ But Pol says back to me, ‘Scat, Handrew, hit makes em sleep like haldermen and heat like paupers,’ an so Kew bit is it it takes my last bob for hour houting. Been to Kew, sir?“ No, I had not, but I should be glad to see the gardens, I told him. ‘*‘W’y, Lord bless hus! Come right wi’ hus. Hit“ l do ye good, sir!“ And soit did, for IJ kept in the delightful company of the ‘‘downtrod’’ all the way out on the pleasant journey, returned tothe city with them, and never lost sight of theia until the blazing evening lights of the winding Strand shone on the family safely ensconced on the top of a Whitechapel bus, which whirled them away to their lowly home in that world’s foulest slave pen—the East End of mighty London. It is an interesting little journey by under- ground railway, by river or by road to Royal Kew. Interesting below ground for the glimpses of the folk who live down there in the bowels of the earth—station master, porters, news clerks and barmaids—out of whose faces, like the Cornish miners, the light and color have gone, and who move about in a desolate, discouraged way, as though hopeless prisoners there. You read pathos and heartache all along under these foul underground ways, breathe a prayer that our cities shall never Know them; and wish you could whisk all these white-faced tollers with ‘‘Handrews’ and the young uns’’ fora romp about thé lovely gardens of Kew. A thousand historic places and lordly structures are passed should you go by boat upon the Thames, It is not only these and the vast throng ofcraft you see from your steamer’s side, but you recall the royal pro- cessions of boat and barge ot other days pass- ing and repassing from London to wondrous Hampton Court, and these bear you wraith- fulcompany. The whole stream is soundful with music, German bands, italian bands, Swiss bands, Hungarian bands and Gipsy bands crowd these boats and give good music too. Swift are the steamers, and a mighty wash is left behind them, while all the tiny boats afloat seem to dance and curvet in your wake to the endless music of the Thames. From the roofof your bus you see miles upon miles of the wealthiest part of West London. Here is Picadiliy, with its aristo- cratic clubland on the right; Green Park and lordly Buckingham Palace are on the left; Hyde Park Corner, Kuightsbridge, albert Memorial, Kensington Gardens, Kensington, Holland Park, Olympia and Hammersmith follow, and then you come to where the hedges, avenues and villas hint of the restful country scenes Of England. Bright indeed is this road to Kew, through busy Hammer- smith and drowsy Chiswick, with its nurs- ery grounds and glass houses by the wayside and fine market gardens crowded close by new houses, and dreamful Gunnersbury, where the ancient forests show in dark masses against the horizon. There are lush orchards, too, where the rich fruit dapples the fading leaves, and meadows wavy and rich, where the late buttercups and daisies star the ong green. The old Gays are remembered m once on this winding highway, * . ively, perhaps, where on a new red brick wall is seen the inscription, ‘London Stile.’ Who that has read Dickens or Thackeray or Albert smitu (who narrowly bein grea as either) does not in — n Bao the old coaching days and sed disappearing to the west in @ cloud of dust the Flying Man'“ or the! Wonder, or with pathetic recognition r the okels resting on that "long Paul's dome and dream of the wondrous Lon- don streets all paved with shining gold? And then the mossy bridges, with steep old fashioned pitch and broad, cfumbling parapets, where rosy cheéked Jasses still Unger and marvel as your bus goes rum- bling by; gray turnstiles leading to brown deep footpaths that wind through gar- densand fields, where. someone, as in the old days, always tarries and turns to gaze at passers, gazing in their turn, as though the two were the only ones seen in a whole day’s journey; the gay but stolid-looking barges lying here andthere in the backwater against the shore, and finally, quaint old Kew Green, where the years bring nochange and where everything is so little, odd and antiquated that you could feel no surpriseif Farmer George and Queen Charlotte, with lumbering caleche and six horses came dashing through the gates of Royal Kew. About two hundred years ago Lord Capel laid out the garden which has since become not only one of London's most beautiful pleasure grounds, but a scientific institution, whose influence and benefits reach to all quarters ofthe globe. On the death of Lord Capel in 1696 the estate passed into the hands of his son-in-law, who made the place still more famous as the headquarters of English astronomers. Under the advice of the Earl of Bute the dowager Princess Augusta made it a scientific establishment, and it was called the ‘‘Physic Garden.’’ As early as 1768 Sir John Hill published a catalogue of the plants of Kew. There were then fifty ferns, 600 trees and shrubs and several thousand herbaceous plants. In 1789 the estate was bought by George III. He devoted much money and attentionto its improve- ment. Farmer George’’ he was called, in praise by scientists and in derision by tax- payers, for his pains. For a long time after this monarch’s death the gardens sank into negiect. It was then proposed to disestab- lish and disendow them. A protest was raised and the whole kingdom opposed, whereupon the gardens were surrendered by the crown and became a national estab- lishment in 1840. Then Royal Kew in name became Royal Kew in fact under the directorship of Sir W. J. Hooker, who remained in charge until his death, in 1865, and his son, Sir Joseph Hooker, the renowned traveler and botanist, who succeeded him. The latter is known to every student of botany in the world from his „Flora Antarctica. Himalayan Journals“ and his great work, Genera Plantarum,“ and the tremendous importance of Kew as an international sclentific educator, has deen almost wholly due to his genius for com- pelling its work to cover a vast and practi- cally limitiess fleld. To faintly illustrate this extraordinary comprehensiveness it may be truly said tnat wherever inthe world classification of new plants is required Kew stands ready to at- tend to the matter. Wherever new plants are wanted for cultivation these Royal Gar- dens will supply them, and this readiness of supply 18 not at all limited to British subjects or colonies. Where plant disease threatens or pests approach, Kew will consult and advise. For- eign institutions co-operate in all these ben- eficial relations. Lists of new plants are constantly being published. Lists of seeds matured here are also printed, and the in- stitution wisely goesso far asto exchange these seeds with regular coriespondents all over the world. This magazine of seeds is nominally col- lected forthe benefit of similar associations which may sometime in part return like favors. But any one in any part of the globe applying with a serious purpose for seeds or plants is not refused. At the time of my visit applications lay upon the curator’s desk from Oregon, Texas and British Columbia in America; from English shires, from south Africa, Ceylon, India and Guatemala. 411 ‘were to be served with equal attention. This characteristic of Kew gives the whole world an interest in its resources, proficiency and increased powers for interchange of botanic knowledge and aid. How the rapidly increasing population of the globe may be provided with food and clothing is regarded as a problem falling within the province of Kew’s authorities. The splendid success of the chinchona plan- tations in India also illustrates the scope of the work atthe Royal Gardens, The Peru. vian supply was showing exhaustion, Quinine was becoming alarmingly expensive, Chinchona seeds and young trees were se- cured in Peru, brought here to Kew and nursed, and finally given successful culture in Jamaica, Ceylon and Bengal, until the an. nual output from these sources amounts to nearly 100,000 pounds. That was a direct benefit to all humankind. It will thus be seen that the Royal Kew ts not only a favorite resort for holiday visit- ors, but it is the great central botanic ‘work- shop of the world; not a flower show nora pretty park merely, for serious and vast work is accomplished here every year. And nothing ig too trifling to receive Kew's candid atten- coat buttons, and upona pithy stem which the Government of a West Indies island be- lieved suitable for razor strops.’’ Kew is now training young men to fill bo- tanic situations in thecolonies. Instruction is givenin principles of scientific botany, and the general conditions governing horti- culture under differing conditions and clir- cumstances. In the end Kew is repatd. Nearly all these men becomingfemigrants,re- main enthusiastic correspondents with and contributes to the stores of the Royal Gardens. Mr. Thiselton Dyer, who became director of Kew in 1886, is only the fifth ina period of 130 years, and is broadening rather than restricting the feld of scientific investi- gation so nobly opened and developed by Sir William Hooker and his son, Sir Josepn. The gardens and grounds are ,extensive, Those portions known as the Botanic Gardens comprise nearly thirty acres, and the pleas- ure grounds and arboretum have an area of 270 acres. Beyond, stretching to Richmond, is the old Deer Park of about four hundred acres, though only a small portion of the latter is accessible to the public. In front of the gardens stretches a broad, smooth walk, and dotted about the iawns are noble specimens“ of Italian, Spanish and Corsican Pines. At the end of these one sees the old red brick house in which Queen Charlotte died. To the left is the principal avenue, with flower parterres on either side. In the distance the magnif- cent palm-house rises like a fairy palace, and beside it are tiny lakes with flocks of aquatic birds. The herbarium at Kew is undoubtedly the finest in existence. The number of specimens now exceeds 1,500,000, dupll- cates mbt included. They fill a large structure in the northwest corner of the green, including a great hall, added in 1876, fitted out two tiers of light iron galieries. Beginning with the Ranunculace® on the ground floor, they conclude with the grasses up aloft. There is no red tape here to oppose the student. Atable stands in each corner for his convenience. All specimens are ar- ranged after the system of Sir Joseph Hooker’s great work, the ‘‘Genera Plan- tarum,’’ so that the visitor only has to give the number attached toa particular genus, and the portfolio containing the corresponda- ing spectmen is before him in an instant. In the garden proper the smaller plants are founa in almost endless variety. Altogether there are nearly 30,000 species. Small as is this proportion to the total sum of nature’s wealth, the knowledge, patience and labor in forming such a vast collection arein them- selves almost inconceivable. Think of 3,000 species of trees and shrubs, 3,000 green- house plants, 2,500 ‘‘stove plants,’’ 1,200 ferns,1,000 succulents and 1,000 orchids among this bewildering collection, in one compact garden! The Museum of Economic Botany was es- tablished in 1847, Its influence upon trade has undoubtedly since been increasingly felt in the two hemispheres. Every tree and plant known to serve a useful purpose Is rep- resented here, with illustrations of the man- ner of its employment and most valuable use; while the Museum of Timber is a per- manent world’s exposition of woods. The showing in this from the two Americas and the West In- dies exceeds that of all the rest of the world in extent and variety, and every great Americancity should duplicate this timber exhibit. Its economic suggestiveness and hints to woodworkers, from the most or- dinary necessities of building timbers to the highest possibilities in art woods and wood- working art, would prove invaluable. To the casual visitor the show places of Royal*Kew arethe great palmhouse and the structure housing the huge water maize of Central America,named Victoria regia by its discoverers in compliment to Queen Victoria. The palmhouse is a veritable crystal palace, It is 362 feet long and 100 feet wide. It stands near the center of the gardens, with abroad terrace andthe lakes with their agatic flocks in front. Nearly 25,000 feet of hot water pipingare required forits heat- Oh ugh sixty-six feet in height, its most gigantic habitat—the finest specimen in Europe of the Pandanacee—is continually de- ing lopped off and pruned to keepit within bounds. There are besides magnificent spec- imens of the betel, the wax palm, the bread tree, the orange, the coral plant, the coffee shrub, the cocoanut and the tamarind. A few yards distant is the home of the tremendous water lily, the Victoria regia. Its gigantic leaves and flowers spread com- pletely over its allotted water space of 18,000 aquare feet in the summer months, while at this season of the year its wide oval leaves, yards in surface diameter, with beau : curled edges, suggest the fabled shells which Aphrodite is wasted upon seas. ot one never tires of these matchiess Royal Gardens.

This completes the ceremony. In the matter of getting at the ages of per- gons whose appearance indicates that they are not of legal age, though there isa passt bility that they are telling the truth, a great deal of tact is required, as also in the case of a *‘young lady“ regarding the legality of whose age there is no doubt. Marriage License Clerk Horman is accredited with being one of the best judges ofa woman’sagein St. Louts, as many an eloping maiden who had not reached the **18’’ mark has discovered. While asking the prelimipary questions and jotting down the answers he manages to catch a few glimpses of the lady around the corners of bis glasses, and knows just how to proseed, If she ts ofan age that sue would like every · body to know he looks Her squarelyn the face and askxs: What is your age, Miss Jones? The answer is never wanting in such cases, and the clerk writes it down, with an air of **I knew it, of course, before. In cases where the lady has reached that dangerous ground, ‘‘just past 25,’’ and is not protected by the prefixof ‘‘Mrs.’’ to her name, Horman asks the question, while writ- ing the answer tothe last question, aua the the interrogation is directed more to the man than tothe lady. Itis generally something like this: And the lady's age?’’ The an: swer is barely audible, bat the clerk never falls to eatch it, and writes jt down ta a me- chanical manner, 2 In cases of youthful couples, where there is danger of prevarication, the clerk has another manner which he assumes. It is something after the style of the spider and the ly. The clerk reteives them most affabiy and accepts all their answers as though he believed them to be gospel truth until he has the necessar) information to be given to parents or guardians who may call later. suddeniy the counte- pance of the clerk assumes a hard, and addressing whichever one of the two he suspects of being under age, he asks sharply, Lon say you are 18. Miss Jones or lou say you are , Mr, Smith? What year were you born inf!“ The In fact the burden of proof, as the law- vers say, is on the applicants, and it they tall to produce the necessary backing to their statements they don’t get the license. The clerk allows them to run down, so tospeak, while he gits looking absently out ofthe window, Sometimes the disappointed people turn, and walk out of the office, but more frequently they break down ana admit the truth. Harmon is all sympathy then and willing to do anythiag in his power, He asks ifthe parents of the party are alive, or if he or she has a guardian, aad offers to tele- graph to get the requisite consent. This proposition is the key to the situation, the countenances of the pair telling the rest. To do Clerk Harmon justice, however, he is al- waysthe friend of the young folk in sucha case, and will act according to his judgment, for their best interests, regardless of trouble to himself. The marriage license law went into effect June 27, 1881, in st. Louis, and since that time over 48,000 lHcenses have been issued. Thelaw prohibiting the marriage of first cousins took effect Nov. 1,1889. It was strong- ly advocated by Recorder Hobbs, who, al- though he did not offer the bill, appeared be- fore the Legisiature and urged its passage, Under the Recorder’s 3 rvision the mar- riage license records are képt, so that a mar- riage can be easily traced in years to come. A peculiar fact about marriage licenses is that a marriage license costs but $1, whilea dog license Costs $3 and has to be renewed every year. Recorder Hobbs was asked by a SUNDAY Posr - DISPATCH reporter why he required a jady te go to his office in order to gat a license and he said; “There are several reasons. It is three = since I began to enforce that rule, One hing which lad to it was this: One day a man applied fora marriage license, accom, panied by two employes of the Court house, I issued it on their rec. Ommendation. 4 few days after a young woman came rushing inte the office in Afrantic manner witha news paper in her hand containing a notice of the tasuance of the license, and sal: Who authorized you to issue that license?“ she was the lady whose name appeared in the license, She was engaged to be married and the man who took out the license was a rejected jover, who took that means of breaking up the maten. He took out a license in his and her name, so that his rival would gee it in the r. He was suceesstul in g marriage was broken off gixri went down to her grave e is * wey ie nis was not the only case where called to ae Of being fully 18 yerrs oid, Or even 19 years old, I issued the license, she making amda vit that she was of legal age. It trans- pired that she was but 15 years old and a ter- rible racket was made about it. A certain attorney calledat my office and examined the papers in the case, When he was through he said to me: ‘It is a mighty good thing for you that you have her signature to that afi- da vit or you would de apt to have a iawsuit on your hands.’ I decided then to take no more chances, But the rule that the lady must come to this office is not an fronclad one. I do not exact it in all cases. Ido not want to inflict a hardship on any one, If there is any valid reason why a lady should not come here I don’t want her to come. If a lady ts sick and a doctor’s certificate is brought, or any other good reason given, I will send a man to the house to take her affidavit and it will not cost them a cent. Some people; you know, don’t like to postpone a wedding, which would account for having it to take place when the lady would not be in perfect heaith. And then it might bo a stormy day. I would not want any lady to come out in a storm. But you see those cases must be limited. Icould not do it in every gase, because it would be an impossibility, and I don’t think the pubiic would require it of mo. The ense should be one of necessity, and I hold that I am treating all alike when I provide in those cases, at my own inconvenience, to see that the law is complied with, and re- quire the others to eome to the office. If there is nothing to prevent the parties from coming to tne office they are more fortunate than those who are excused.’’ : The question has been raised, Mr. Hobbs, that you ought to issue a license, in the ab- sence of the lady, on the affidayit of her father or legal guardian. How about that?“ „Well. with regard to that thefe is a case on record here where @ man swofe that his daughter was 15 years old, and it afterwards was found out that she was but 13 years old, or a year younger than the law permits tam la to marry even with their parents’ or rd lans consent, Then, will you tell me what legal right a parent has to answer for a child that is ot age.

He left us this legacy, aud also some artistic patterns done in tobacco juice upon our Tur- key carpet; but beyond these reminiscences our American story-teller has vanisned from our ken. He gleamed acrossour ordinary quiet conviviality ke some brilliant meteor, and then was lost in the outer darkness. That night, however, our New Mexican friend was in ful swing, and 1 quietly lit my ptpe and dropped into the nearest chair, anxious not to interrupt his story. ‘*Mind you, he continued, I hain’t got no grudge against your men of science. 1 likes and respects a chap as can match every | beast and plant, from a huckleberry to a grizzly witha jaw-breakin’ name; but if you wants real interestin’ facets, something a bit juicy, you goto your Whalers and your fron- tiersmen, and yeur scouts and Hudson Bay men, chaps who mostly can scarce sign their names. 2° There was a pause here, as Mr. Jefferson Adams produced a long cheroot and lit it. We preserved a strict silence in the room, for we had already learned that on the slightest interruption our Yankee drew himself into hie shell again.

There wasn’t nobody in Arizona or New Mexicoas didn't know of Joe Hawkins—‘Alaiiania’ Joe, ashe was called there, A reg'lar out and outer, he was, bout the hardest case as ever man clapt eyes on. He was good chap ~ ‘enough, mind ye, as long as you stroked him the right way; but rile him cnyhow, and he were worse nor a bliszard. I’ve geen him empty his six-shooter into a crowd as chanced to jostle himagoing into simpson’s bar when there was @ dance on; and he bowled Tom Hooper ’cause he spilt his liquor over Mesweskit by mistake. No, he diun’t stick at murder, Joe didn’t; and he weren’t a man to be trusted when he had the devil’s in him. 1 at the time I tell on when Joe Hawkins was swaggerin’ about the town and layin' down bye laws with his shootin’ -irons, there was an Englishman therg of the name of Scott—Tom Scott, if I rec’lects aright. This chap Scott was a 6Britisher to his boot heels, and yet he didn’t freeze much to the British set there, or they He was a quiet simple man, Scott was—rather too quiet for a rough lot like that; sneakin’,they called him, but he weren’tthat. He kept hisself mostly apart, an’ didn’t interfere with nobody so long as he were left alqne. Some said as how he'd been kinder fil-treated at home—been a Chartist, or something combustible, and hadte up and git; but he never spore of it hisself, an’ never complained. Bad luck or good, that man kept a stiff lip on him, „This Scott was a sort o’butt among the men about Arizona, for he was so quiet an’ simple-like. There was no party either to take up his grievances, for, as I've been say- ing, the Britishers hardiy counted him one af them, and many a rough joke they played on him. He never cut up rough, but was civil to all hisself, Ithink the boys got to think he hadn't much grit in him till he showed ‘em their mistake. „it was in simpson's bar as the row got up, an’ that led to the queer thing! was going to tell you of. Alabama Joe and one or two other rowdies were dead on the Britishers in those days, and they spoke their opinions pretty free, though 1 warned them as there d be an almighty muss. That partic’lar night Joe was fighting-drunk, and he swaggered about the town with his six-shooter, lookin’ for a chance. Then he turned into the bar where he know’d he'd find some o the Bnglish as ready as he was hisself. Sure enough, there was half a dozen loung- ing about, an’ Tom Scott standin’ alone be- fore the stove. Joe sat down by the table, and put his revolver and bowie down in front of him. ‘Them's my argiments, Jeff,’ he gays to me, if any white-livered Britisher Gares give me the lie. I tried to stop him, sirs; but he weren’t a Man as you could easily turn, an’ he began to speak in a way as no chap could stand. Why, even a ‘Greaser’ would flare up if you as mueh of There was a commotion at the bar, an’ every man laid his hands on his wepins; but afore they equid draw we hearda quiet volee from the stove: ‘Say your prayers, Joe Hawkins, tor you're a dead Joe turned round, and looked like per of use.

Tunis here guich was a marshy, gloomy place, lonely enough during the day even; for it were always a creepy sort o thing to see the great eight and ten- foet leaves snap Nag up it aught touched them; but at night there was never a soul near, Some parts of the marsh, too, were softand deep, and a body thrown in would be gone by morning, I eguid see Alabama Joe crouchint under the leaves of the great Flytrap in the Garkest part ot the gulch, with a scowl on his face and a revolver in his hand; I could see it, girs, as plain as with my two eyes.

I just @fopped him a hint as he passed me, for I kinder liked the chap. ‘Keep your der- ringer there or about it,’ I says, ‘foryou might chance to need it,’ He, looked around atme with hig quiet smile, and then I lost sight ot him in the gloom. I never thought te see him again. He’a hardly gone afore Simpson comes up to me and says, “There’ll be old hell in the Flytrap Gulch to-night, Jef; the boys say that Hawkins started half an heur ago to wait for Scott and shoot him on sight. I cale’late the coroner ll be wanted to-morrow.’ What passed in the guichthat night? It were a question as were asked pretty free next mornin A half-breed was in Fergu- son’s store after daybreak, and he said as he'd chanced to be near the guloh bout 1 in the morning, It warn’t easy to get at his story, heseemed so uncommon scared, bat he told at last, as he’d heard the fearfulest Screams in the stillness of the night.

Abner Brandon and me, and a few more, was inthe store at the time; so we mounted and rode out to Scott's house, pass- ing through the guleh on the way. bere weren’t nothing partic’lar to be seen there— ne blood nor marks of a fight, nor nothing; and when we gets up to Scott’s hause, ont he comes to Meet us as fresh as a lark. ‘Hullo, Jeff!’ says he, no need for the pistols, after all.

An alifired commotion was on in Main street as we rode intoit, The ’Merican party seemed to have gone clean crazed. Alabama Joe was gone, nat a darned pa tiete of him left. Since he went out to the gulch nary eye had seen him. As we got off our horses there was a considerable crowd in front of Simpson’s,and some ugly looks at Tom Scott, Icantell you. There was a clinkin’ of pig- toils, and I saw as scott had his hand Th his bosom too. There weren’t a single English face about.’ ‘Stand aside, Jeff Adams,’ Says Zebb Humphrey, as great a scoundrel as ever lived, ‘you ain't got no hand in this game. Say, boys, are we, free Americans, to be murdered by this sort 0’ seum?’ It was the quickest thing aseverlseed. There was arush an’ a crack; Zebb was down, with Scott’s ball in his thigh, and Scott himself was onthe ground Withadezen men hakiing him. It weren’t no use struggling. so he lay quiet. They seemed a bit uncertain what to do with him him at first, but then one of Alabama’s spe- cial chums put then up to it. Joe's gone, he said; ‘nothing ain't surer nor that, an’ there nes the man as killed him. Some on vou KaAows as Joe went on business to the gulch last night; he never came back.

At the door of the consultitng-room stood an offictal in black dress- coat and white cravat, who received the customary fee of two guin- eas from each patient before entering. In the glass cabinet, surrounded with trop- ical plants and flowering shrubs in their reat Japanese vases, the stiff little Dr. Hal- douhill was seated in front of his desk, his secretary and stenographer by his side. Another door, covered with red velvet, on the far side of this cabinet, where stood an enormous lackey, whose duty was to carry these poor staggering patients to the outer landing, where they were taken downin a —2ů— elevator, after the doctor ad pronounced the sacramental words, ** Bring in another.“ The consultants entered this room with hollow, feverish e¥es; their backs uncovered, their elothes upon theh arms; they immedi- ately received the application of the stetho- meter and stethoscope.

The forest giants bent and cracked Beneath the feree of the tempest, and their bare branches, reft from the mother stems, whirled through the snow- sodden air, uke huge uncanny ravens. No saund or sign of man, or beast. or bird of the air in the midst of this ghastly, wail- ing, raving, storm-monotony, save one figure that moved slowly and painfully through the blinding hurricane. Where the rough, snaw-covered plateau in- clined prairiewards, and the mountain wil- derness seemed to stretch gigantic arms towards the vast plaing that lay like a white sea at its feet, barely perceptible through the thick snowy haze, a tall man climbed across the dangerous breken ground. The snow lay a yard deep everyw „ and every now and then a treacherous chasm between the uneven boulders threatened a terrible death. The hidden tangle of unseen creep- ers, stripped of all follage, and the naked briery network of the underbrush mingled ia snaring pitfalls beneath the covering snow, like a vast web of prick-covered whip-cord, ready to punish each unwary step. The man appeared to be accustamed to the dangers which would have affrighted many a staunch and stout heart. He seemed to be fashioned of iren, with a face of glass, against which the whirling snowflakes dashed harmlessly. His long hair clung to his neck and shoulder like a wave of snow, with here and there a pateh of black in the midst of the white powdering foam. His beard resembied the frozen waterfall for its grotesque cover- ing ef icicles, and his brown buckskia cloth- ing was coveréd with brittle patches of glassy grey. There was naught visible of his face save his shining biack eyes, for he had tied a red cotton handkerehfef across his nose and mouth, and it had become a frozen gheet like the rest of his clothing, The man climbed on dowphill undaunted. Many atime he slipped, and staggered, and fell/ but rose again, panting; and now and then suppressing a low moan that surged to his throat in spite of him. The rags which he had tied over his hands showed broad red stains through their dingy frozen falds, and he kmped more and more painfully as he | proceeded on his awful journey. But not a sound escaped him, He might have been @ suffering dumb creature struggling for Ife against the murderous fary of the elements. At last the ground sloped more evenly; the fiendish web-work of naked brier and creeper ceased to impede the foot, and save for the sheet af snow, a yard deep, through which the man bad to wade, progress was easy and unobstructed, , At a sudden turn of the mountain, restied against a towering spur at the feothtll which sheltered it from the fury of the wind, and surrounded by some ‘threescore of leafless cottonwoods, the traveler espied the low, snow-covered roof of a human habitation. The smoke curled away lustily from its clay chimneys, and the warmth of the fire beneath had melted the white shroud which covered the rest of its slopes, and thus revealed the brownish-yeliow layer of clay and prairie- grass Which had served for tiles in its con- struction. The man strode on, as with a new heart, asthe near proximity of life and warmth strengthened his stiffening nerves. His fail- ing sight grew keener, and he even thought that a sensation of existing presence, pain- ful yet reassuring, returned to his nearly frozen hands and arms. The huge project- ing hillside deadened to him the blast of the tempest, which still raged and rioted over- head, to waste its now victimless fury until, in its widening sweep, it touched the barren, rolling plain far inland. The desperate journeyer had reached level ground, and seme three or four hundred strides prougnt him to the log hut that lay se snugiy ensconeed in the protecting shadow of the mountain. The wind had piled a small hillock of snow against its side, and no win- daw or opening of any kind wasvisible. The man plodded ils weary way around the back al the house where the warmth of the chimneys had transformed the snowy cover - ing ot the plain into a swamp at freesing slush, and again turning the corner, reached the side where the thickly elustered cotton-woeds had afforded a staunch sereen against the drifting flakes. Here the rough bark-covered logs, and thé clay-filled crevice were still in pristine greenish browa, save for a few white ridgesand lines. The walling wind was denied fits playground here. fhe daring pioneer had so cunningly planned and constructed hig house that he defied the ele- ments to bar ingregs or egress to or from his wild home. The rough plank door was open when the shivering traveler at last reached it, On the threshold stood a tall and lean oid man, hig greyish pale face surrounded by a long grey beard, and with a vell of sparse silvery hair straggling behind him. On the wrinkled brow and Cheeks the skin lay in flabby streaks, and the eyes suone with a hungry lustor. When the old man saw the wanderer, he stared at him for a few heart beats’ space with feverishly flashing eyes, and then 3 strange iittle peal of sickly laughter rang faintly. between his bared teeth. He stretched out a white and beny hand of wel- come, but the new-cQOmer held up his blood stained rags and swiftly entered the house, flinging his frozen Coverings from him as he walked. Broad red streaks revealed them- selves upon his hands and face as he unwrapped, like Ugly, deep, newly-cut gashes. The skin, where ft was visible, wag ot a deep purple hue, like dull- tempered steel. The ald pioneer havingrapidly closed the door, beckoned him to take a seat by the fire which cracked cheerlly in the clay chtm- ney atthe other end of the reom, but the young man shook his head, „Give mea minnit,““ he said. ‘‘t guess I’ve got to thaw a bit afore I can say another word.“ The old man placed a three-legged stool! by the fireside and satthero fora few moments in a trembling silence. Then he rose, writh- ing nis arms in the alr, as it unable longer to bear the nervous strain, ‘Whar are the others?’’ he erted. „Dead, was the hard repiy. „What! Joe, an' Fire headed Dick, an’ Frenet Bill, all gone under?“ He elatched his thin hair as 1 in mortal agony, and his bosom heaved as with lips parted he awaited the answer, „LA gone under.“ „All“ rs! „es, all! re lyin’ in the snow Wambdazona, fruz to death.

Away with it!** He grasped a feeble handful of the shining fragments and fung them into the fire where they rang against thethard-baked clay of the chimney. Then he sat down and buried his face in his hands, and his low moans flied the room as with calis of gaunt death. The young man stood there, with his dark, pain-stretched face clouded by the old man’s accusation. With slow ard diffident step he stole towards him, and laid one of his hlooa - stained hands gently on his shoulder. Don't speak so hard, Daddy Hays, he said, with a heart-breaking quiet. We found nuthen’ that we could bring on our- selves, but we found this, Thar’s bushels whar’ this comes from, and when the wind slows down it’ll pay fetehin'. I didn’t think I'd live through it, an’ I'm nigh dead myself, but the instant minnit I can use my limbs, I'll take that rifle and start out again. cayn’t go out with these things on. I’d aie on the road, an’ thar’ll be pieces of my skin comin’ away with em as it is. But cheer up, Daddy, Nellie won’t die, if Painther Harry kin save her, an’ I will save her still.’’ 7 The ald man remained gumb im his grief and doubt, while Harry, with agonized ef- forts, stripped of his ice-covered clothing. In the corner by the fireside hung a striped Navajo blanket and a couple of mountaineer’s buekskin shirts and trousers. Harry strapped the blanket around his waist, and tied strips of fresh rag around his wounded and bleeding limbs. Then he sat down by the fire, facing Hays. An' Nellie!“ he asked at last. Whar' is she?“ . Daddy Hays looked up. In thar,’’ he replied, ain’t had the courage to look this past. she ain't had nuthen’ to eat - for how long now?! inquired the young man, a feverish determination gleaming in his eye. „She ain’t touched food for more than eight-and-forty hours now. May I go an' look at her?“ 680!“ The young man strapped the blanket a lit- tle more tightly and wiped the dripping moisture from his dark hair and beard. In the fitful Rembrandtesque light thrown by the hearth-fire, his wiry form, all brawny musele and sinew, flashed now and then like polished nze. tle might have been a model for bal Cain as he stood there, naked to the waist and bare-footed, with his blanket reaching the ground like a work man’s gown of mythological days, and with his long, dark beard streaming around his maply face. With slow and muMed footfall, he stepped to the dark blue blanket which served as a hanging between the two rooms. The chim- neys of the two compartments of the hut were built back to back and a cherry wood fire was burning in the inner room. Ashe dropped the banging Dlanket and paused for a moment in the half gloom, Harry could scarcely distinguish his surroundings by the ald ot the smeary, yellow, filekering flames of tha logs. At the further end stood a rough, low couch, covered with biffalo skins. aud upon its rich, deep brown shone the white face of a woman Who had been beanti- ful before the agony of hunger had dragged the rounded eheeks into lined and angular forms, and had Sucked the blood from the cherry-red Ups. The big . gray-biue eyes looked nearly black in the dim light, and they stared vacantly. The fingers,white and worn to the bone, lay upon the bearskin whieh covered her, like wax models of dead hands. The young man approached the bed as a re- pentant pilgrim of old might have drawn nigh to the shrine of the enskied saintywhose intercession he craved. He looked at her, and his brawny limbs trembled and shook asin a palsy.while he pictured to himself the lovely, loying, and lovable girl whom he had hoped to call his own, and whom the hand of Heaven had thus sorely stricken. She Dead may be. I hour a word, nor drew a breath—but for the slight movement of the bosom, and but for the ba rely perceptible tremor of the lips she might have heen dead already. The big eyes gtared,and Harry thought they stared at him and chided him softly, not harshiy, The gaze cut through his heart strings like a red-hot dagger, and he rushed from the room. „She is dyin’,’’ he cried in his agony. Ain't thar nuthen at all to eat in the place —nuthen—nor a drink o' whisky—nuthen —nuthen?’’ His searching glance traveled around the room upavailingly, The shelves were bare. har ain't a morsel, nora drop, and thar old man, wit! a choking Voice. „An' she'ul die,“ Harry cried, it she’ll get no foaqd?’’ Les, die.“ echoed the pioneer, Die, like Joe, and Bill, and Dick, and yew apd I will follow her.“ “ The young man flew at the * and flung the dishes and plates and bottles and cups and jugs it contained on the floor in a clattering cenfusion.. He dived into every nook, he ransacked every corner, he swapt the boards for possible crumbs and turned the bottles for any nourishing drops they might contain. Not a mite, not an atom of food, not a drop of liquor was there. Then he tqok down the rife whieh hung on a peg on the wall, and half naked as he was, he opened the door and walked ‘put into the slush and snow.

Let me—and say nuthen.’’ hut I’m dyin’ too, whined the old man. I'm goin’ blind, an’—I’m—hbelp! help!’’ The voice became fainter,and the pioneer’s wasted form slid from his seat and rolled side ways on the floor. Harry bent over him, and looked into the starving man’s face. Then he rose slowly and haggardly. His lips were tightly closed, and he bit them, She first,’’ he said, after a slight pause. My darling first. I’ll save him after - wards. He went tothe tahle and opened the drawer. As he felt about there fora knife, his left hand touched the littie piles of golden ore that lay on the table. With a furious sweep of the hand he sent them flying on the floor. **Gold?"’ he cried. ‘‘Gold! All the gold in the world ain't worth a crust o' bread.“ II. Painther Harry selected the sharpest and the most pointed of the knives he found in the table-drawer, and took from the shelf, whereon it stood, a big drinking-eup, made from the hora of a buffalo. Then he gathered up afew strips of the rags he had left — near by, and after glancing for a brie second atthe motionless figure of the old frontieisman, he raised the blue blanket curtain and stepped into the inner room. The girl was lying white and silent as be- fore, with a death-like, peaceful smile wreathing ber parted lips. Harry stole tothe couch and jooked into the girl’s eyes. A merest gleam of a heart“ breaking recognition flickered there—like 6 stray and feeble sunbeam—and vanished, The young Man dropped on one knee by the side of his dying bride, and grasping her cold and humid hand, covered it with his kisses. Oh my God!“ he erted, in the terror of his heart, grant that it may not be too late grant that jt may not be too late. He took the knife he had brought, and with one swift and desperate movement cut @ great gash into hisleft arm. The steaming blood spurted over his face and chest, but he dashed the horn cup to the wound with a lightning-like swing, and the hot fluld gusheg intoit. He felt his face grow red and white by turns, and a streng tremor filled hig frame, but he kept a tight hold of the horn until he Kaew that his bieod was trickling into it more and more siowly.

John’s Library Hall, Sixteenth and Chestnut streets, Friday afternoon at 2:30 0o’clock; to effect a permanent organization: Rev. Father Brady issued the call for the meeting, and the response was a large as - semblage. Those present were prin: cipally the delegates who repre- sented the Catholic bemevolent organ: izations of the city at the Conference of Charitable and Philanthropic Institutions, held at Gentenary M. E. chureh last Febru- ary. This conference, which trampled under foot all religious barriers, was very success ful and productive of much good will between the representatives of every creed. Father Brady, who was well pleased with the results of the conference, has since been desirous to gather all the Catholic philanthropic work - ers into one society, in order that each ot them may become capable of greater good dy the help and assistance of the others. The Catholic ladies who attended the conference, have purchased about three hundred copies of the minutes of the meeting. and these are to be distributed among the tollers in the field of benevolence here and abroad, It is thought thata pe- rusal of these minutes will awaken in many renewed zeal for charitable work. Such a use of the minutes of the conference is cer- tainly one of the best that could be made of them, because that kind of literature is usu- ally relegated to the darkest corner of publi- cation graveyards, Last Friday’s meeting was gratifying to the promoters of the scheme to forma central organization and the initial steps to make itan accomplished fact were taken. ‘The T. W. 0 T. v. Mrs. Frances J. Barnes of New York City, International Secretary of Young Women’s Christian Temperance Union, arrived in the city last evening and was given a reception by the local branches of the Y’s at the resi- dence of Mrs. F.

Miss Carrie Harper of Dexter, Mo., State Superintendent of the Young Women’s Christian Temperance Union, who is in the city, was also present, and the St. Louis members of the young auxiliary of the W. O. T. U. honored their international State officers with a very pleasant evening’s entertainment. This afternoon at4 o’clock Mrs. Barnes and Miss Harper will address a mass meeting of young people at Pilgrim Con- gregational Church, Washington and Ewing avenues. The many St. Louis admirers of Mrs. Barnes say that she is one of the most lovely and able workers to be found inthe white- ribboned ranks. Mrs. Barnes is the guest of Miss Kmma Mekeel and will remain in the tity uAtil to morrow evening. The members of the Woman's Amristlan Temperance Union of St. Louis will flock to the Exposition in large numbers next Thurs- day evening, the 20th inst., because it will be W. C. T. U. night, and the ladies have been looking forward to the event with every symptom of good-natured impatience ever since the day was fixed. In the interval between the evening concerts, that is, from § to d oelock, the W. C. T. U. will have pos · session of the stage, One hundred of the most prominent members of the city ufiions will occupy the chairs reserved for Gilmore's One Hundred; the stage will be ase scorated with festobns of white ribbons, * the emblem of the union, and Mrs. Anna Shaw of Boston will deliver an address. Mrs. Shaw is said to be a very forcible, persuasive speaker, and her. treatment of the temper- ance question is spirited aud uncompromis- ing. The W. C. T. U. booth in the World's Fair Association Department of the Ex posi- tion will be elaborately decorated for the oc. casion, ne next event of interest to the W. C. 7. U. is the national convention at Denver, which opens Oct. 28 and will remain in ses sion fora week. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, Mrs. O. A. Haynes, Miss Emma Mekeel and Mrs. John Field of this city will attend the convention, leaving St. Louis on the 25thinst.

It is a fact, according to science, that in all countries there are fewer convictions for crimes of women than of men. European statistics vary from the highest, 87 per cent, in Scotland, to the lowest, rather less than 6 per cent, in Italy. It is also noted that there is a very wide differenre between city and country. The proportion of female criminals is always higher in rural districts, sometimes reaching nearly to that of the males. Various explanations of these facts have been suggested. Some are complimentary to the sex, as that women are not given to in- toxicants, nor to gambling, nor to roving; they are more timid, more freéliglous, more tender-hearted, and their sexuality is more passive. There is something if all these rea- sons, but they do not satisfy Dr. G. Ferrero, who discusses the subject in the Revwe Scien- tifique. He points out that the females of the ants, bees and spiders are particularly cruel because they are particularly intelligent, and he reaches the ungallant conclusion that the woman of to-day is less criminal because less intelligent than the man. Curious Wedding Rings. In the early days of England wedding rings were made of rushes, but in this age even more curious materials are sometimes pressed into service when emergency de- mands it. Many cases are on record where rings of brass or iron and curtain rings and door keys have taken the place of the bands of gold which nervous grooms have mislaid. One bride is said to have been married with a leather ring, cut from a finger of one of her gloves, and another embarrassed young couple were relieved by a suggestion from the minister that the wedding ring becut from a visiting card. Quakers and Swiss Protéstants do not use rings at their marriage ceremonies. The Irish have a strong objection to any but gold wed- ding rings. In St. Kilda wedding rings are made of worsted.

Atatime when Rosambeau, actor at the Odeon Theater, Paris, could not afford to give a supper to his children, this is how he persuaded them to go to Ded without having anything to eat: Here's a penny foreach of you that will do without his supper,“ he would say to them. They all accepted the bargain. Next morn- ing they were as hungry as wolves. Their father then Called out: Those that want their breakfast must pay a penny.“ He thus recovered his expenses and saved a meal. Drapery Its Strong Point, This picturesque tea-gown was designed by a clever young lady friend for herself. The under part is a close-fitting Princess robe witha train made of fine daffodil cash- mere. It fastens invisibly. But over this robe, as you see, is worna kind of surplice like the priests wear, made of a darker yellow velvet and cut sqtiare back and front. It hangs perfectly straight and plain and trains at the back. The loose, platted drapery over surplice affair there 10 a Greek trimming, wrought in gold.

Pretty Out- Door Costume. — Golden Brown Cloth. AN AFTERNOON GOWN. It Is One Suitable for an Informal “At Home.’’ For the informal afternoon at home, a suitable dress isshown in the illustration. It is a French gown of pale pink crepe cloth, trimmed with olive-green ribbons and coarse point de gene insertion. Around the bottom of the Dell-shaped skirt is a deep border ofthe insertion; through its coarse meshes are run three rows of narrow, Olive-green ribbon. Here and there across the skirt the ribbon is tied in bows, three bows, one above the other, making a charm- ing effect. : The plain tight-fitting waist is of the crepe cloth with bodice of the insertion, trim med with the olive ribbons arranged in dainty bows. The charm of the costume is coneentrated in the sleeve. A louse puff of the crepe cloth falls from the shoulder to justiabove the el- bow. Inthecenter itis banded to the arm by a strap ofthe insertion, through which For the Afternoon at Home. the olive ribbon is run. Below the elbow to the wrist is a long, wrinkled cuff of the crepe cloth decorated with five straps of the inser- tion, each strap boasting of its pert little bows. Women Make Beautiful Rugs. Aside from other important considerations, rugs are much more beautiful than carpets. The Orientals are masters of color biendings. It might, however, be more dorrect to say mistresses than masters, for be it known that it is by women that the beautiful rugs which come to us from the Eastare made. In the province of Alden this is almost the sole in - dustry, and,as women forthe most part carry forward this work, the province is unique ia being supported by the :abor of women, The Shepherdess’ Baz- Take a square Of old pink satin, spread on the wrong side a layer of scented flannel uned with cream silk, draw up the four cor- : 7 ners, turn down the tips of two ot them, and tothe two others attach the handle, com- posed of a satin band folded four times ana knotted in the center.

DRESSING SACKS, They Are Comfortable Now, Not Fash- ionable. In those good old days so frequently alluded to asthe days of our grandmothers,the dress ing sack was of coarse cambric, a square shaped, loose-fitting sack with no indication ot trimming about it. It was worn on such occasions as getting the Sunday dinner when it must be prepared in a hurry after church and on dusting invasions, etc. This dressing sack has passed through’a stage of evolution, It is now worn only in the privacy of my lady’s boudoir, and yet it is the most dainty, exquisite of garments. The one shown in the illustration is of white crinkled erepe lined with china silk of a peachbiow tint, There’ is a cloud-like trimmin of white lace and peachblow ribbons are tied at the collar, These house jackets come elab- Evolution orately em the Dressing Sack, HALF-GROWN GIRLS GOWNS WHICH ARE SUITABLE AT THAT TRYING PERIOD.

Avery handsome piano spread is of green plush with pond lfly fowers and pads scat- tered over it. The flowers are of white satin, shot with silver, and the effect is of silver- white. Silver thread is used to sew the petals to the plush, and the centers and stems of each are worked in solid embroidery. The lily pads of green satin are couched and | veined with gold thread. Here and there is placed a mock jewel, which has the effect of a drop of water. Appliqued work of all kinds ig Just now very fashionable, and a study on any shade of plush of any large decorative flower may be used in this way. Oare of the Tooth-Brush. »The care of the tooth- brush is not sum - clently observed, is the dictum of a dentist. In our city houses they stand in their cups or hang on their racks above the set toilet bowls day and night, absorbing any disease germs that may be floating about. They should be washed frequently—at least twice a week—in some antiseptic solution, strong saltand wateror bi-carbonate of soda and water being two good and readily provided cleansers. Tooth washes and pastes should also be kept carefully covered.’’ + The Fanmakers of France. It is computed that in Paris there are some 8,000 workers employed in the making of cheap and expensive fans. The average wage of the makers of the cheaper fans is from 8 to 10 francs per day. The two parts of the fan—the handle and the leaf—are manufactured by different sets of workers.

They acted on the same principle that inaugurated the col - ebrated Boston tea party. The result was that the Rieksite Friends went one way and the Orthodox Friehds tite other. This stirred up a religious steife, which, to this day, has never been qialled.

My habits are good en- ough for me, and sol penciled off a letter to ‘ten or-a dozen of these men who wanted to do good.
