Speaker Crisp Maps Out the Programme That May Be Followed, TARIFF REVISION WILL RECEIVE SPECIAL ATTENTION, But Not Much Will Be Accomplished This Winter—This Work wi Wait for an Extra or the Regular Session of the Fifty-third Oongress — Appropriation Bilis Nearly Re ady for Passage~Chair- man Springer’s Views. WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 8,—Speaker Crisp and the Chairmen of the leading committees of the House have spent several hours to-day considering the programme of the coming Session. It has been determined that the work ofthe closing session of the Fifty-sec- ond Oongress shall be as complete and thorough as though it were toend the rule of the Democratic party in Congress; nothing will be left for the next Congress that can pos- sibly be attended to and in the three months session it is expected that much im- portant legislation will be disposed of. The annual appropriation bills will be passed. An additional list of separate tariff bills will betaken up. Resolutions will be adopted looking to.a thorough investigation of the civil service and an opportunity will be given tocomplete the inquiries begun in the last session and to adopt the reports and resolu- tions now pending on the calendar. In discussing the work of the coming ses- sion, Speaker Crisp said to the Post-Dis- PATCH correspondent to-day: ‘‘Taking out the holiday recess the present session will last only about two and a half months, but much good work can be done in that time. be taken. In past sessions we have some- times tried to dispense with this recess, but we find that little can be done, because mem. bers will take the holiday, whether it Is for- mally voted or not. Appropriation bills are now well under way, the committee having spent some time in their consideration. One or two will be in shape to bring into the House within a week or ten daysand can be promptly taken up for consideration. Of course these important supply bilis will re- celve our chief attention, and, in spite of the short session, I am confident they will be as well matured as those of last year. This will be as economical as consistent with the necessities of the Government, and will be framed upon the same Democratic princi- ples as those of last season. ‘*I shall not be surprised to see the bDilis hy. House last June, get through the Senate at the coming session. Of course the Demo- crats will support them and I understand that Senator Dubois and other Senators from States recently admitted tothe Union will vote to pass these measures. Such a cause would be consistent and I cannot see how th new Senators could oppose tbe bills. **I] think it will be the policy of the House to bring the work of Investigating commit- tees to a close, and in the case of the Raum investigation to permit the report and reso- lution to be acted upon. The Ways and Means Committee will have some more work of more or less importance, though of course the general tariff revision, to which we are all looking forward, cannot be effected until we contrul the Senate as well as the House.’’ If the present programme of the leading tariff reformersin the House Is car- ried out, the work of the present session will havean important bearing upon the tariff iegislation of the Fifty-third Congress. Chairman Springer, who has given the sub- ject close attention since the November elec- tion, said tothe POsT-DISPATCH corresponda- dent: ‘*The Ways and Means Uomunittee has not yet met to determine the detalis of the policy to be pursued during the coming ses- sion, Dut It may be said that the general plan heretofore followed will be carried out. There are still pending in our committee a number of independent tariff bills pro- viding for the reductions of duties of important articles of daily consumption Mr. Stevens of our committee has a Dili plac- ing iron ore and scrap iron on the free list and reducing the duties on manufacttires of iron and other metals. This bill is not only a well - devised measure, but a most important. It provides in a general way for heavy reduc- tions on all manufactures of iron, including bar iron beams, girders, railway bars and rails, and also stipulates that no rate of duty shall be imposed uponany metal or manu- facture of metal in excess of 85 per cent ad valorem, This bill strikes at the root of the evil, which the country has been suffering under the rule of the iron kings. lit will not be popular with the bar- ons who have the casties in Scotiand, but it will be a great thing for the masses. ‘*another matter of great importance is the free lumber bill drafted by Mr. Bryan of this committee. This measure has already received some attention and will probably be taken up for consideration at an early meeting of the committee, A Dill placing all grades of sugar on the free list and repealing the present sugar bounty Is also before the oe and will be taken up without de- ay. **We have already sent to the Senate the free wool Dill which, in addition to making the raw material free, also re- duces rates on manufactured goods; the free ~bDinding twine bill, the bili making cotton ties, bagging and for cotton gins free the plate bill, the ree lead ore bill and the bill limiting to $100 the value of clothing that can be imported by a tourist re- turning from abroad. ‘*The Senate may take these bills up and by recording enough votes in the negative to make a quorum permit the Demoeraisto pass them.I donot look for such action, bowever ,as the Republican policy has steadily proven one of obstruction to all tariff reform meas- ures. I am personally infavorof putting through all the individual measures we = sibly can in the present House as the basis of tariff legislation in the Fifty-third Congress. ‘*It is important that our work should be well matured, and the provisions of these several bills have been carefully devised and the industries involved thoroughly investi- ted. el am, therefore, of the opinion that when the Fifty-third Congress meets it cannet do better than take up and pass the special bills which have already been perfected, ieaving to the new Ways and Means Committee the drafting of a general tariff bill. In this w much im- portant legislation for the relief of the peo- ple could be put upon the statute books with- out delay. The general tariff bill need not include the schedules covered by these special measures, unless it is necessary to still further amend them. : ‘The policy of an extra session to expedite tariff legislation has been a for some time past.

CUE TEAC OPED EEERO DT ee eS should be elected, the new Congress might with great propriety be called in extraor- dinary session onthe 4th day of March, 1893, and the work of tariff revision could then be begun in earnest, witha certainty of practical and successfulresult. Such early revision at the beginning of a presidential term would enable the country to become thoroughly familiar with great advantages of a genuine revision of the tariff prior to any general election, andthe party which was responsi- ble for such revision might confidently ex- pect the continued support of a majority of the American people in subsequent elections of Congresses and Presidents.’ **It will be seen from this brief extract that I favored an extra session at that time, and of course Iam still of the sameopinion. I put special emphasis upon the necessity for an early beginning, and I think it will be generally admitted that the party cannot do better than pass special bills which have already been carefully consid- éred as the basis of a general planof tariff revision. **I have seen the statement made that the passage of these special measures will reduce the revenues by a good many million dollars, at a time when we cannot well spare the money from the Treasury. I am satisfied that this would not be the case, The passage of the free-wool bill would cut off about $6,- 000,000 annually in wool duties, but the re- auction of the compensatory duties upon manufactured woolens would largely increase ampcstations and, consequently ,the revenues. am satisfied that in the frst year of the operation of sucha bill the gross customs receipts would equal the present revenue and in afew years would so much exceed the present collections as to make possible a further reduction. The Republicans charge that we are tryin to ruin manufacturers by the importation o foreign goods. Thisis not so Whilelam not a champion of the manufacturers as against the people, stillitis easy to demon- strate tn the case of woolen goods, for exam* ple, that free wool will greatly re- duce the price of manufactured articles and consequently stimulate the de- mand for woolen goods immensely. The re- duction in the sugar tariff? increased the con- sumption in the country 24 percent, while the increase of 26 per cent on woolen g 8 imposed by the McKinley ill not only reduced importations, but total revenues also. The manufacturers need worry if they are willing to accept a reason- able profit. Itis for the people, however that the Fifty-third Congress will legisiate. ’ MAKING NEW STATES. DEMOCRATS WILL URGE THE ADMISSION OF AR- IZONA AND NEW MEXICO. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.—There may be a diversity of views among members of Con- gress when the subject of tariff revision is brought up, but ifan extra session is called on one question at least the Democratic body are practically of one mind—two bills provid- ing for the admission of New Mexico and Ari- zona shall be pushed to immediate passage. During his recent visit to New York Speak- er Crisp conferredat length with Mr, Whit- ney on.this subject, and pointed out the danger of intrusting important measures of party policy to the Senate dominated by third party representatives who may be not. admitting Utah will be considered or not. Should the three bills be passed six Senators would be added tothe Democratic column ia the wh oo House. . The bills admitting New Mexico and Ari- zona passed the present House in June last and are now resting In the Senate Committee on Territories, of which Senator Piatt of Oon- necticut is Chairman. It is said here tl tes Joseph of New Mexico and 8m! of Arizona have received pledges m 8en- ator Piatt that these two bills shall be favor- ably reported during the coming session. Little reliance is placed upon this statement. Should the bills pass of course this item will be eliminated from the extra session pro- gramme. Much interest in the question of the admis- sion oi these Territories was aroused by the arrival here of pongregemen Washington of Tennessee, who has had entire charge of the nding legislation on the subject. He had rief conference with Speaker Crisp, and wil consult with Senator Gorman and other lead- ing Democrats astothe steps to be taken to admission of New Mexico a. r.

New YoRK, Dec. §.—Jay Gould will have a public funeral—that Is, all who wish to attend the service and take a last look at the Magnate will be given an opportunity of do- img so on Monday afternoon until the house ig sO crowded that there is not standing room. Cards of invitation to the funeral have been sent out to the intimate friends of the family. The will admit the holders into the house of Mr. Edward Gould at No. 1 Bast Forty-seventh street, from whence they will reach the parlor where the services will be held by a private entrance. When the holders of invitations have all been seated the doors of the Gould mansion will be thrown open for all who wish to paya last tribute of respect to his memory, The body of Mr. Gould will not be removed to the mausoleum at Woodlawn until Saturday. Chancellor McCracken will readthe Episco- palcommitment service at the tomb. Final arrangements for the funeral were made this morning- The family decided that the servics should be held on Monday after- moon at 4 o’clock. There will be no pall- bearers. The Rev. Dr, Paxton and Chancel- lor McCracken will conduct the services, as- sisted, probably, by the Rev. Roderick Terry, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church. The Rev. Mr. Terry was Mrs. Gould's pastor. He has been requested to participate in the funeral service, but up to noon had not stated whether he could attend or not. The Episcopal service of burial will be read, in- terspersed by extemporaneous prayers and singing by the choir of Dr. Paxton’s church, including Mrs. Clementine De Vere Sapto, soprano; Mrs. Carl Alves, contralto; Mr. Eriesson F. Busbnell, bass, and Mr. Payne Clarke, tenor. The anthems will include **Lead Kindly Light’’ and ‘‘Nearer My God to Thee.’’ There will be no address. The casket will restin the Forty-seventh street side parlor, where the services will be held. At the residence of the dead magnate at Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street, there was a hardly asign of life apparent this morning. The knotted streamers of black and white crape hung dispiritedly from the door Dell, and excepta little knot of reporters on watch across the street and the occasional arrival or departure of a messenger boy witha bundle of letters and dispatches the house was unobserved. All the curtains were closely drawn, and the only caller Guring the morning hours was the undertaker sexton, John Main of the West Presbyterian Church, whocame tojmake a few final preparations. Itis understood that the of Mr. Gould will not lie in state, though; all who care to see the last time, and whom he would Ihave cared to have do do so, will have the opportunity at the funeral. The Man- hattan elevated railroad showed its sense of mourning for Mr. Gould’s demise this morn- ing by draping all the engines on its lines with black and white, knots of black and white streamers fioated from the cab of every locomotive as it bore ite load of humanity down to business this morning, while many of _ them had their standing rods and headlights twisted and draped in similar fashion. The mourning will probably be kept on until after the funeral. The first official notice taken bythe West- ern Union Telegraph Co, of the death of their greatchief, Jay d, was atnoon to-day when the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors met in the dictorate rooms to pass resolutions of condolence, which will be ceceased remains as forwarded to the family of the .

President Green in opening the meeting stated the sad cause of their coming togeth- er, and madea few brief remarks eulogiz- the deceased member of the board and ex- ressing their sense of the lossthe Western nion sustained in his death. Russell Sage the only close intimate and business as- te of Jay Gould also made afew remarks the same iineand it is understood, pre- ted the formal resolutions of condolence, hwill be fittingly engrossed and sent the family.

F, Dowds, for years superintendent of the Central Braneh Union Pacific Road,in Kansas, was one of the few men who could ever claim to have got ahead of Gould. This was before Gould’ had bought the Central Branch. It was then an independent line, owned prin- cipally by the late R, M. Pomeroy of Boston. W. F. Downs, who has since dled, was Super- intendent. Gould recognized the value of the road as a feeder to his system, and began ne- otiating with Mr. Pomeroy for it. The Rock Island also wanted it, so there was com ition in the bidding. Finally a time was set for Mr, Gould to goover the road and look atit. On the special with him were Mr. to buy the road. came back in the night next day Mr. Gould closed a deal for the road at$20a share. It was not until months later that he learned that the sm h Mr. Downs had ordered every wheel of rofiing-stock that be spared west to be sent east as t trains on the day that Mr. Gould made his pilgrimage of inspection. GOULD’S EARLY ASSOCIATE, Kawsas City, Mo., Dec. 8.—J. B. Wilcox, County Commissioner of Atchison County, Kan., was associated with Jay Gould in the survey of Ulster County, N. Y., being next to him in authority. The two young men worked together until the survey of the county was completed, when they separatedr Mr. Wil- cox says Mr. Gould was the most careful and painstaking man heever knew. No detalii of work was too insignificant for his attention. He not only did his own share of work, but kept close watch of his assistantsand quickly rectified any error. As a result the work, when completed, was perfect in_ its measurements and exact in its localities. Mr. Wilcox lives on one of the Gould roads, but he has not seen him since they separated in Ulster County. AT DE SOTO. Dz SoTo, Mo., Dec. 3.—The officers and em - ployes of the Missouri Pacific Railway met in the office of Supt.

LI?TTLe Rock, Ark., Dec. 3.—The employes ofthe Iron Mountain Railroad, numbering over 700, held a mass meeting at the Baring Cross shops this afternoon and adopted reso- lutions offering condolence to the family of Jay Gould, their late employer. SHOOTING OVER A CUR. Quarrel About the Ownership of a Dog Results in a Shooting. KANSAS City, Mo., Dec. 8.—During a quar- rel over acur dog, which began three years agoand has kept up at intervals ever since, the Rev. J. B. Smith, pastor of the Colored Methodist Chufch of Kansas City, Kan., was shot in the shoulder by Louis Whitfield, also colored, with aloadof buckshot, and Whitfield was soon after shot by Malcolm Courtney, a col- farmhand who works for smith. Courtney used a musket and the charge took effect in the back of Whitfield’s head, neck and shoulders. He will probably die. Smith’s wound Is not danger- ous. He walked to town and after having the injured shoulder dressed, went to his home. Smith’s practice has been to go from home toafarm which he leases. Ac- cording to the story of Courtney, he has ssession of a cur dog to which hitfelad claims ownership. This morning Whitfiela attempted to unchainthe dog and take it away from Smith’s place. He was prevented from doing so by Smith and his men. Whitfield went away and returned with a doubble-barreled shotgun and lodged a charge of shotin Smith. At this moment Oourtney arrived on the scene with a musket. Whitfield fired at him and missed. Smith returned the effect already told. Whitfield is unmarried and 30 years old. Smith hasafamily. Smith has filed a complaint against Whitfield charging him with felenious assault, which he will have to answer if he lives. BROKE JAIL. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Dec. 3.—Bill James, who was arrested some time since and jailed for attempting to cash acheck for several hundred dollars belonging to another man, escaped jail to-day, and although pursued several miles, escaped. James was connected with the infamous Clouston and other the attempt to murder Jailer Hall, or destroy his eyesight by throwing pepper into his eyes, in order to escape prison a short time ago.

Offensive Police Supervision—Dr. Miquel’s ' Health—Berlin Topics. BERLIN, Dec. 3.—When scrutinizea the re- strictive clauses of the proposed emigration law do not seem likely to operate s0 favorably as expected in sending a good class of emigrants to America. Well- to-do, orderly people will object to the pre- liminary police supervision and the disclosure of private affairs demanded under the bill, while criminals, frauds and impoverished persons can go across the frontierand sail from a foreign port without any reference to the poltfce.

The trial of Rector Ahlwardt, who is charged with slandering Herr Loewe, the smailarms manufacturer, drags along in the Moaopit Criminal Court. The evidence against him is copious. To-day Ahiwardt submitted to the court as evidence in his favor six doc- uments. The public prosecutor admitted that the documents were gennine, but declared that they could only have come into Ahlwardt’s possession by a gross abuse of confidence on the part of some off cial. The public prosecutor obtainem the sanction of the court to exclude the public during the reading of the papers referred to. The escapade of Prince Karl of Bava- ria, whose mysterious disappearance from Munich excited notice, is now known Oo be due to a liaison with a pretty Dallet girl, who is two years his senior. The affair was proving an expensive one for the Prince and his grandfather, the Regent of Bavaria, dis- approved of it. The Regent wanted Prince Karl to travel. Thereupon the Prince applied to the Regent fo his permission to contract amorganatic mar- riage with the ballet girl. The Regent re- fused, and was making arrangements to compulsarily send the Prince off on a journey abroad in the care of two officers, when Karl and the danseuse secretly leftthecity. The pair were tracked to a secluded retreat tn the Zillerthal Alps and brouesBt_back to Muntch. The police court announcement is that Prince Karl was taken ill while on a shooting expedition, but that he has now recovered.

The Watervlett Gunmakers’ Strike Still Far From Settlement. WATERVLETT, N. Y., Dec. 8.—The strike of the gunmakers at the Government Arsenal seems as far from settlement as ever. OCon- gressman Tracy saw the arsenal officials last night and also the strikers. He informed the Strikers that they would not have to work two lathes each, and they decided to go to work this morning, When ready to begin operations this morning the men were sent for by Capt. Hobbs, anew superintend.- ent who was appointed since the strike began, and told them that they must come to him indiuidually or they could not go to work. A committee was sent to Capt. Hobbs and he was asked if he expected a man to 1un two lathes. He refused\to answer ques- tions and told the men that e would let them know his inten- tions individually and not otherwise. When the committee reported to the men they decided not to retnrn to work and every one of them left the shop. The men claim that their action was justified, inasmuch as IAeut, Pierce, who first igsued the order, was replaced by Capt. Hobbs, who, until Dec. 1, was in charge ofthe gun carriage factory. At present there is no prospect of a settle- ment. The factory continues in operation, however. A Enot in the Cable. CuicaGo, Dec. 8.—A Knot in the West-Side cable caught in a grip-car thisevehing.

Gertie Lee, a young negress, 19 years old, died at the City Hospital yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock, and the Coroner will have to decide whether her death was due toa wound inflicted with a soda water bottle, by Ida May Boughins, also colored, on the night of Nov. 8 or whether she fell a victim to typhoid fever and pneumonia. At li p’clock on the night mentioned the two women met on Ninth street between Market and Walnut streets, opposite Druids’ Hall. They had previously quarreled overa man named Joe Johnson, whom both of them loved, and i) fight was renewed. lda broke a soda water bottle over Gertie’s head, and when they were separated, Ida hurled the part ofthe bottle remaining in her band at Gertie, striking her in the back ofthe neck. The broken edge of the glass severed several - of the large arteries in the neck,and the wounded woman was removed to the Dispensary and thence to the Olty Hopital, where she déled last night. r. Marks, Superintend- ent of the Hospital, said last evening that when the Lee woman came there, the muscles and arteries of her neck were cut and her spinal column was injured. She was sick when brought to the hospital, Dr. Marks stated, and has since from symptoms of what might be typhoid fever or pneumonia. Her temperature has varied strangely, and Dr. Marks would not express an opinion as to what disease she had or whether the wound in the neck was the cause of her death. The Coroner will determine by a ost-mortem examination to-day. Gerttle ee’s motheris said to be a white woman with a colored husband, and lives in the country. Gertie is belleved to have been awild girl and became incorrigible. Ida May Boughins, her assailant, was ar- rested by Detectives Fagan and Dotzman at the time of the fight, and was held to await the result of her victim’s injuries. She will now have to await the verdict of the Cor- oner’s jury. GHASTLY RELIC3.

The trunk coutained the clothing found by the police in the sewer. and, with the exception of being slightly moth-eaten, it wasin almost thesame con- dition as when exhibited at the famous trial, A pocket street guide, which the Doctor al- ways carried, was recognized by Mr, Conklin, notwithstanding it was cov- ered with mud and yellow with age. The Royal Arcanum badge was still in the Doctor’s coat. All the surgical instru- ments which Pr. Cronin took with him on thé fatal night were there, although badly tarnished, At the bottom of the trunk was the section of the floor in the Carlson cot- tage on which the footprinis of the assas are piainly to be seen, Relief Corps Officers.

DEVIOUS LESSON TAUGHT BY THE RE- CENT ELECTION, Plagrant Case of Republican Waste Broughtto Lightin Washington—The . New York Senatorship Widening the Breach Between Cleveland and Hill— Scheme to Send Gov. Abbett to the Senate—General Politios. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.—Congressman Durborow of Illinois, who has just been re- elected from his Chicago district by a major- ity of 11,000, strongly favors an extra ses- sion of Congress. ‘‘We must begin our work at once,’’ said he, Friday. ‘The task before the Democratic party is not the mere forma- tion of a tariff bill, but the complete revision, of the financial system. The present methods must be abolished and new ones established to meet the growth ofthis vast country. The only way for this work to be done carefully is to begin it eariy. We must have plenty of time if we would finish the task in good season. The people of my district and, I be- Meve, the people of the whole country expect ' to see us take prompt measures to relieve them of the burden under which they have labored for many years. The Democratic party, in addition to securing a great victory, bas assumeda tremendous responsibility and cannot too ‘goon begin to redeem the pledges it has made to the people. Every man in the House knows we will jeopardize our hopes of success if we postpone action on the tariff until such a time as will make it necessary for the bill to go into effect on the eve of a congressional election. **The Republican party is to be the party of opposition fromthis timeon. It will beina minority and its chief function will be to misrepresent to the people the policy and accomplishments of the Democracy. Every- thing we do willl be criticised and misrepre- sented, and in order to benefit by the victory we have won we must carefully avoid put- ting weapons in the hands of the enemy. **] am in favor of a complete revision of the tariff_andam confident that with able menin the Fifty-third Congress, a Demo- cratic tariff reform billcan be drafted that - will be constructed on true economical and . scientific principles, while at the same time commanding the approval of the masses of the people. But the only way to achieve this result with profit to our party is to begin atonce. Delays are Gangerous.*’ Congressman Beltzhoover of Pennsylvania said to-day with reference to an extra session of Congress: ‘*I doubt the wisdom of the roposed proceedings, and I hope Mr. Cleve- fan wiilturna deafearto the suggestion. ‘An extra session of Congress contains ele- ments of dangespto any party resorting to lit. Mr. Hayes, when President, found this out, and the lesson still remains for any President putting himself in the way of learningit. If it were a question merely of calling the Fifty -third Congress together for the purpose of organizing and cutting out work for the more important committees to do during the long vacation of the summer, not 60 much importance would attach to the matter, Dut who could say, once the extra session began, how long it would last? Dif- ferences might arise at once which would ‘prolong the session until mid-summer, or even longer, and force upon Oongress at an unseasonabie time fissues which, both for the arty’s and the country’s sake, would do Potter to walt until the regular meeting time in December. The President could, of course, ractically decide how long the session should fast. The Constitution gives him the power to prorogue Congress, but this authority ts never exercised, and the necessity of invok- ing it ought not to be presented to Air. Cleve- n — Mr. Beltzhoover is a friend and admirer of Crairman Harrity, and was asked about the talk connecting Mr. Harrity’s name witha cabinet piace. He replied: ‘*Mr. Harrity appreciates the honor of that suggestion, but he could not afford to accept a cabinet office. He has no fortune and could not at this time abandon his business engagements, which are ke pygene for a place paying less than one-third as much as he now is making. Then the expenses of a cabinet officer are necessarily heavy, and Mr. Harrity could not with justice to himself incurthem. He pre- fers to romain where heis. Meanwhile both he and his friends greatly appreciate the kindly estimate put upon his services as Chairman of the National Committee.’’ OLEVELAND AND HILL.

New YorK, Dec. 8.—A Washington corre- gpondent telegraphs the following toa Dem.- ocratic paper of thiscity: There area good many rocks ahead forthe Democratic party and the most imminent isthe clash between Cleveland and Hill.

Osborne. e recites that a conspiracy exists between the Republican aspirant for the United States Senate (Warren) and the various County Clerks to deprive a number of legislators who have been elected, of their seats in the Legisiative body, and that the failure of the State Canvassing Board to canvass the vote for Governor, and the refusal of acting-Gov. Barber to give any definite information re- garding the time and method of the canvass isa partofthe conspiracy. He proposes to maintain his position and porform the duties of his office, and calls upon alli the citizens to support him in his duty. Public sentiment is strongly with Gov. Osborne, and his action Is re pps as the only plan by which the steal of the ~~ peal by the Republicans can be frustrated. REPUBLICAN PLOTTERS. Gov. TRYING TO STEAL THE NEBRASKA SENATORSHIP. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 8.—Emboldened by their success in stealing the governorship two years ago, the Republicans of Nebraska are laying the wires to steala Senatorship. Not- withstanding the fact thatthe Legislature is anti-Republican by a narrow margin, the Republicans are so confident of their abil- ity to use boodle to good advantage that they are really boasting they will elect eR successor to Senator Paddock or re-elect that gentleman himself. There 133 members of the Nebraska Legislature, 100inthe House and 338 in the Senate. There are five more Democrats and Populistsin the Legislature than Republicansand the only hope of the Re- publicans is to secure the votes needed from either the Demo crats or Populists or both, or to use the courts to the end that some of the op- =e may be ousted, The Republicans 1ave @ great deal of confidence In the courts of Nebraska, andtwo years agowhen the *‘ring’’ at Lincoln found that it was neces- sary to oust Gov. Boyd in order to longer conceal their enormous steal- ings from the State, the courts did not betray their confidence. The Republicans are going to try the courts again, and if that fail they will try the power of boodile in the Legislature. They begin their old policy of contest by geing down into Clay County and entering contest against the twoPopulist representatives-elect and against the Populist Senator-elect from the district composed of the counties of Clay and Hamilton, The County Clerk there is a Republican. The Populists nominated 8. M. Elder for the House, and he was in- dorsed by the Democrats. The Populists of Clay and Ha milton Counties nominated L. L. Johnson for the Senate and the Democrats indorsed hjm. According to lawthe names of these candidates should have appeared on the ticket followed by the designation ‘*Pop- ulist-Democrat.’’ nstead of this a RKe- publican county clerk had the names of the candidates a on the ticket twice, one followed by the designation **Democrat.’’ The combined vote these men receive:l exceeded the vote of their Republican opponents about a hundred, The Republicans ask thatthe votes their opponents received as Populists orthe votes they received as Democrats be thrown out. In either event the Republican candidates would be elected. The contest is now pending in a partisan Supreme Court.In Hamilton County thePopu- list candidate for the House was elected by a plurality of one over his Repubiican opponent, and the Republican candidate, backed by the boodle of the State Committee, is pushing a contest. In Butte precinct of Boyd County the Republican candidate for the House received nearly 500 votes, when the factofthe matter is thatthere are not 800 voters inthe precinct. By throwing out the vote of this precinct, the Republican candl- date is defeated, but the entire county machinery is in the hands of the Republicans. If all these outrageous schemes fail, the Republicans will open their boodle boxes. THEY ARE FLAGRANT WASTE. OF RECKLESS REPUBLIOAN EX- TRAVAGANCE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—A flagrant case of reckless squandering of the people’s money by the Republicans of the Fifty-first Congress bas just cometolight. At the second session of that Congress purchase was made for the Government ofa large building, situated on the northwest cornerof B street and New Jersey avenue, knownasthe Maltby House. It had been erected for hotel purposes with the design of attracting the custom of mem- bers of Congress from the South and West. The venture failed and the building was closed. Then it was that overtures were made the Government to buythe property. The man who built the property had died and his widow had inherited it, Negotiations were opened with the Senate and were pushed with the more ease because that body needed extra rooms for the convenience of commit- tees. The Maltby House was close at hand, was five stories high and contained nearly a hundred rooms, and terms were finally agreed upon. The price paid was $175,000 for the house and $13,000 for some vacant lots ad- joining, which afforded a convenient en- trance to the _ rear. The. Senate at once took possession and the Maitby House was divided among the Senators for storage-rooms fortheir documents and of- fices for their clerks and private secretaries. ‘ihe building, although little re than four years old and less than two years the prop- erty of the Government, is now discovered to be a decaying and crazy structure, conceded to be so unsafe that no weightat all is per- mittedon any of the upper floors. Great cracks show in the cellings, in the walls both outside and inside and on every fioor from basement to garret. Everybody ac- guainted with the premises is nervous while there, and the night watchmen even spend more of their time poems up and down on the sidewalk in front than by the fire inside. The Post-DISPATCH correspondent was shown through the rooms and found the condition of the house as bad as had been reported. The rear walls are settling and wide cracks appear atevery turn. Itis now explained that the rear foundation walis were laid in earth formed of dumpings. The lot was originally low and marshy and had to be filled before it could be used for buliaing purposes. The archi- tect of the Capitol was asked if the building was inspected atthe time ofits purchase by the JGovernment, His: recollec- tion was that noinspection took place, It would appear upon the face of things, there- fore, that the Government was saddled with this insecure structure at an outlay large enough to have secureda building twice the size and altogether safe. That it will have to be taken down or abandoned Is certain, for in its present condition it is a menace to life. An investigation will probably be ordered as soon as Congress meets,and some interesting developments are expected, DISCLOSED *SECRET. NEW JERSEY’S GOVERNOR-ELECT STARTLES HIS AUDITORS AT A BANQUET. New YorK, Dec. 3.—Without premeditation and after once refusing to respond to a toast Gov, -elect Werts brought the speech-making toaclimax atthe Thursday night’s banquet of the Democratic Soclety of New Jersey in Taylor’s Hotel, Jersey City. Every- body was anxious to Know what at- titude the new Governor would take in regard to the United States Senatorship soon to be vacant, but nobody expected that he would disclose a startling olitical secret. After the formal toasts had een responded to and while the jollification was at its height, Secretary McKean induced Judge Werts to say my ge in acceptance ofa portrait of himself. What he did say riveted the attention of his auditors, dis- pleasing some and arousing others to a high pitch of enthusiasm. ‘‘And when the supreme moment arrives,’’ he declared, “the victory should be given to the man who has won it by the services he has rendered the Democratic Pay of New Jer- sey.’’ Noone applauded because all were afraid that there might be a difference of opinion about the identity of the nator : **¥es n med, ‘‘I will name fim, t, next United "* Gov ONE SAMPLE States Senator f A "s . | 7 at tine P ‘ ap Be ee ty oe ; es ' =.

Ifheistohelp the Governor Mr. Abbett may be assumed to have what the sports call *‘a cinch’’ on the sition he so eagerly covets. What Miles Ross, James smith Jr., and J. N. Pidcock think of the sit- — now is something yet to be ascer- ained, NORTH DAKOTA. A BADLY MIXED POLITICAL SITUATION FOLLOWS THE RECENT ELECTION. JAMESTOWN,N.D., Dec. 8.—Politics in North Dakota has become Dadly mixed. The large Republican majority of former years has bee wiped out. While the Republican electors are elected, the State ticket is defeated, except the two Scandinavian candidates, Hon. M. W. Jonn- son for Congress, and Hon. ©. M. Dahl for Secretary of State. These candidates were elected not because they were Republicans, but because the Scandinavians were truer totheir nationality than to the Republican party. North Dakota is purely a farm- ing, and not a manufacturing State. Her farmers generally belong to the Alliance organization. The Alllance in this State as elsewhere, has become a full-fledged third party organization, ae with the Democratic party in the North an Republican party in the South for success. he strength of the third party movement in this State is about 10,000. This number augmented by the Democratic vote, outnum- bered the Republican vote—hence the defeat. The Legislature of North Dakota remains Republican in both branches, insuring the election of a Republican United States Senator to succeed Senator L. R. Casey. Our Legislature meets in five weeks, and yet it is impossible to tel) who is to be our next Senator, or who will be the rominent candidates for the position. he second important question that will come before our law-makers will the re- submission of the prohibitory amendment to a vote ofthe people. There will be norad- ical legislation this winter in line with the third party demanas. Our people have confidence that the thira party candidate for Governor just elected, . C. D. Shortridge, formerly from Missouri, will give us a good, honest administration. KANSAS SENATORS, BOTH REPUBLICANS AND POPULISTS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY, ATCuIson, Kan., Dec. 8.—The boom for 8. P. Waggener of Atchison for United States Senator seems growing. A gentleman from Topeka says the Re ppbdlicans are ready and willing to unite on him, and it is believed enough votes arein sight toelect him. Mr. Waggener’s mail is full of letters from prom- inent Republicans assuring him of their sup- port. Ina conversation witha reporter for the Post-DispatTca this afternoon, Mr. Wag- gener said that he had not been making a Hight for the position; that the boom was started by his friends in different parts ofthe State. While he did not say he wasa candidate he left the impression on the re- porter’s mind that if elected he would ac- cept. Mr. Waggener isnow General Attor ney ofthe Missouri Pacific Rallroad Co. He has been a life long Democrat and ran for Attorney General in 1878. He has not taken any active part in politics, how- ever, for twelve years. The People’s party men are highly dignant over the action of the Board of Canvassers in declaring two Republicans entitled to _ seats in the lower house of the Legislature. Leaders of the People’s pasty say they will organize a house composed of their men and ignore the Republicans, and that Gov. Liewelling will recognize that body. Inthis way they will electa United States Senator, who they say will be seated. in- State RUSSELL’S ELEOTION, IT WAS NEVER QUESTIONED BY LIEUT.-GOV. HAILES. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Dec. 8.—In conversa- tion with a reporter yesterday Lieut.-Gov. Haties sald that he had never fora moment questioned the legality of tbe election of Gov. Russell and that he had never intended to make any contest. Many friends and infiu- ential men of his party had strongly urged him to do s0 for the purpose of ascertaining the number of blank votes not counted which were intended forhim. He has given their views careful consideration, but his mind Is not changed from thefirst. Hesent his congrat- ulations to Gov. Russellthe day after the election and supposed the whole matter to be settled, It was notuntil reports reached him from various parts ofthe State regarding the double marking of the ballots for gov- ernorand the positive opinion expressed to him by those in whose judgment he placed great confidence that he became fixed inthe belief that enough votes had been thrown out as blanks to have changed the result. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. DEMOCRATS MALICIOUSLY PROSECUTED IN ARKANSAS, LITTLE Rook, Ark., Dec. 8.—John M. Rose, Chairman of the Pulaski County Democratic Central Committee, issued the following ad- dress to-day: To the Democrats of Pulaski County: Several of the Democratic election judges of this county have been indicted by the United States Grand-jury for alleged offenses against the election laws at the November eiection. he charges were trumped up to gratify the malice of the chief super- visor and to enable Republican officials to make fees for the remainder of their terms. It was part of the plan to have these men tried without an op- portunity for defense, but Judge Williams declined to take partin the scheme oralilow hiscourt to be used asaninstrument for oppression. But these men must be defended. They are poorand the ex- pense of making their defense will be ruinous to m. ‘hey are indicted simply because they are Democrats, and ask the Vemocrats of this county to make a party matter ofitand see that theyare defended apr operty. I heave secured the services of Hon. J. W. House to aefend them, and I ask the Democrats of the county to each send me asmall contribution for a defense fund for these men, and any others that the malice of Sereaven Repubiican officials may cause to be ar- rested. GLEASON MEN OUSTED. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 8.—In obedience to an order obtained last Tuesday from Judge Cullen Oity Clerk Thomas B. Burke of Long Isiand Oity appeared this morning before Judge Bartlett to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not be granted compelling him to send back the returns of eleven elec- tion districts tothe several Inspectors for the correction of clerical errors, and also that sample ballots be attached tothe returns. The application for the writ was made by Horativ 8. Sanford, the candidate for Mayor against Patrick G. Gleason. After hearing the argument Judge Bartiett decided that he would grant the writ of mandamus. ere iow I e this de- NOT CERTAIN OF THE SENATE. WaSHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 8.—The Demo- crats are getting uneasy about the Senate.

CALIFORNIA'S VOTE DIVIDED, Saw Francisco, Dec. 8.—The average vote for electors in San Francisco County shows a plurality forthe Democratic ticket of 4,693, The average plurality for Republican electors outside of San Francisco is 4,422, giving the Democrats a plurality im the entire State of 271. The margin is sO Darrow and the vote for individual electors Varies so consider- ably in the incomplete Feturnsthatit seems almost sure that when the canvass of votes is made by the Secretary Of State the elec- toral vote will be found to be divided, A SEAT CONTESTED. | WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 8.—Notice of con- test has been fled for the seat in the House lately occupied by Mr. Warwick of Ohio, who defeated Gov. McKinley two yearsago. Mr. Warwick died and the Democrats nominated @ man named Ollinger for the successor. Ollinger after a spirited contest was elected by a good majority. His Republican com.- petitor now comes forward and alleges that Ollinger is not a naturalized citizen and therefore is ineligible to the office. A STRAW. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 8.—Barnard Doyle, an ex-deputy revenue collector, has been se- lected by State Engineer and Surveyor Schneck to fill the place of chiefclerk in his office, from which D. Cady Herrick’s lieuten- ant, John P. Masterson, was ousted. Doyle isa Hill Democrat and lives in the Ninth Ward, Albany, which is now Senator Hill’s home, This Oh. started a great buzz as to Gov. Flower’s attitude toward Cleveland, DEAD MEN REGISTERED. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Dec. 3.—John T, Blod- gett, United States Supesvisor of Elections, is reported to have found on the voting lists of this city some 2,000names which have no right there. They are those of dead men, mythical persons, minors and non-residents and have undoubtedly been voted on many times, SUICIDES. Failing in the Use of Gas He Resorted to the Pistol. New Yorn, N. Y., Dec, 8.—After trying twice in one week to commit suicide, Julius Kriele finally succeeded. For seven hours anda half on Tuesday night he lay witha rubber tube pouring gas into his mouth. This would not killhim. It happened in room 75 atthe Occidental Hotel, Bowery and Broom street. When he was discovered therethe attendants were so enraged over the gas he had wasted that they pitched him down two flights of stairs and into the street. Kriele was determined to die, though, and set out tolook for another place. This time he went to the West Shore Hotel, Eleventh avenueand Forty-socond street. He engaged room 4 for one night only and registered as Jullus Kriele, 9% Tompkins avenue, Brooklyn. On this occasion he decided not to depend on gas. The other time he had doubted its abil- ity to kill him and had put a revolver down by his side incase of need. The man who kicked him down stairs got it. This time he concluded to use the pistol first. He had been a soldier in the Franco-Prussian war in 1570 and in the Austria- Prussian war of 1866, knew how use fire arms. He got ready by writing a farewell letter to his employer, Victog Nobis, a brush manu- facturer at 400 Pearl street, towhom he had been a confidential cierk. The letter gave the reasons for the suicide. It said that Kriele was an embezzler. He had written to his wife in Germany for money tosquare matters. She would not send it. He pre- ferred, he said, to die rather than to be im- prisoned, The bullet did better work than the gas. He was found yesterday afternoon witha hole in histemple. He had been dead for hours. Mr. Nobis said Kriele was a de- faulter for about $6,000. He was 53 years old. He was well off in Germany and knew Bis- marck well. Two defaulting bank officers in that country saved themselves by driving him into bankruptcy. LOUIS DUPONT’S DEATH. WILMINGTON, Del., Dec 3.—Louls Dupont of the well-known Dupont family shot himself dead atthe Wilmington Club-house here at 8:30 o’clock yesterday. He said to Willard Hall Porter: ‘‘I will not go to any more assembiies. I am going ona long journey.’’ After Mr. Potter left the room Dupont shot himself behind the ear and felldead. He was a brotheror Morris Du pont, the young man who created a scandal several years ago by marrying Lottie Fitz- gerald, the Queenstown barmaid. Mr. Porter first saw Mr. Dupont at oneof the desks inthe library writing. After making his remark about the iong journey Mr. Porter, not wishing to intrude, left the library, and in a few minutes afterwards went out of the house. Mr. Dupont had been In the library nearly half an hour, when the steward was startled bya pistol. Rushing tothe room, he found Du- pont prone upon the floor, with blood Streaming from a wound in his head. Dr. James A. Harper, who lives within two blocks of the club-house, was summoned, and he pronounced Dupont dead, death hav- ing been, in his opinion, instantaneous. A Case Over Four Years Old. On the docket of the Criminal Court for to- morrow morning the case of Henry T.Feris is set for trial, and though ithas been dragging along in that court forfour’ years, will again be continued. It is ple case of the list of cases pending before the Criminal Court and is a study foracriminal lawyer who wishes to learn how it is that a Knowledge ofthe method of continuing cases goes further than a kKnowiege of law atthe Four Courts. Heary T. Ferris is charged in twenty- nine indictments with forgeries al- leged to have been committed in the months of April, Mayand June of 1888, In four Other cases he is jointly indicted with Davis R. Boogher, Boogher has been tried twice within the past four years, ana the jury disagreed in each case, but Feris’ case has never gone to a trial. His case was set for last Monday, but he spoke to Judge Castieman and pleaded that he had a sick wife, and the case was set for last Wednesday. On Wednesday the case was called, and attorneys Ben F. Clark and F. A. 0. McManus responded tor the defendant, but Feris did not show up. His bond was not forfeited, for the reason, it is said, that it was not con- sidered sound, and had he appeared he would have been requiredto give a new bond for $2,500 or go to jail. It ts gaid he could not give a new bond and remained out of court. Last Friday Judge Oastleman ordered a capias to issue for Feris anda deputy marshal spent the day look- ing for him. He reported yes- terday morning that Feris could not be found. It was learned yesterday even- ing that Feris was at his attorneys’ offices and other places down town. He will be in court Monday morning with new bond and his attorneys will spring & surprise on the couyt. Fought in a Grocery. Ed Maher and Chas. Gartland, the latter an alleged ex-convict, were lodged in the Third District Sub-station last night ona charge of petit larceny. About 7:30 0’clock last evening the men entered Chas. Kampachaffer’s grocery, at 2201 Dickson street, in an intoxi cated condition. Kampachaffer accused them of perioining two boxes of soap. Maher and Gartiand denied the charges and a fight concladed the dispute. Officers Duggan and Barry were attracted to the place by the aw tes and arrested Maher and Gart- land. Gartiand was handled pretty roughly during the melee, and it was founda neces to send him to the Dispensary where geye scalp wounds were dressed. Poker Raid at the Richeliey, Detectives Scully and Kelly made a raiq on @& poker game in operation On the parior floor ofthe Ricbeliéu Hotel last nignt ang captured seven players.

Many Senators and Representatives Already Arrived. COMMITTEES AT WORK OF THE APPRO- PRIATION BILLS. t2446.-A Reduction in Expenses [Cont a Railway Mail Service—Behring Sea Controversy—State Bank Tax Ques- tion—Department Reports to Be Sub- mitted to Oongress To-Morrow—Na- tional Capital Notes and Miscellany. « WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 8.—There was much activity around the Capitol to-day be- cause of the presence of a large number of Senators and Representatives. Speaker Crisp was in his private room on the House side the greater part of the day, where he re- ceived a large number of callers. Chairman Springer wasinthe Ways and Means Com- mittee room for several hours, He talked freely of the prospects of the coming session and he does not anticipate much radi- cal legislation on the part of the House in so far as the tariff question is concerned. His committee has several unreported tariff bills on hand, in- cluding the provisions for free galt, free lum- ber, free iron ore, and the measure provid- ing for a revision of the steel beams and metal schedules. The Dbilis will hardly be considered by the Hcuse this winter, as it is | regarded as useless in view of the expected revision of the entire tarif law. Represent- ative Holman was on duty in the Appropria- tion Committee room, and he expects to have three of the general money bills ready for consideration by the House early next week. The District of Columbia, the pensions and fortifications bills are nearly ready to be reported. Before the work of the session begins it is proposed that a conference be held by allthe chairmen of committees having charge of appropriation bills so as to agree upon some general policy for the treatment ofthe appropriations. Mr. Holman is confident that mucn money can be saved by cutting down the army, the navy and the Military Academy appropriation bills, all of which are in charge of other committees than the Appropria- tions, of which he is Chairman. On the other hand Mr. Herbert does not think that it would be wise to discontinue the rehabilitation of the navy, and thinks that the saving can be accomplished better in some other direction. So it goes all alongtheline. Itisthought that if all these chairmen can be brought into touch through the adoption ofa general policy at a con- ference, they can work togetherto do what can be done. As things now stand, however, it does not seem probable that gny such sav- ing can be accomplished as will put the ap- propriations by this Congress below those of the Fifty-first. HE WILL NOT RESIGN, MINISTER EGAN PREPARING TO RETURN TO ( CHILI. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—President Harri- rison evidently intends to leave to his suc- cessor the agreeable and patriotic duty of removing Mr. Patrick Egan. Mr. Egan ar- rived in this city to-day on his way to New York and stopped over to see the Secretary of State and ar range certain matters connected with the legation at Santiago. He expectsto sail for Chili Dec. 10, carrying with him the expressed approval of President Harrison and Secre- tary Foster of his conduct during big occu- pancy of the post of United States Minister. Mr. Egan declares that he enjoys the climate of Chili and looks forward to passing a pleasant season at Santiago. He Stated to-day with emphasis that he had at no time entertained the idea of resigning, and that such stories were what the Chilians called ‘‘bolas,’’ the Spanish equivalent of takes. Mr. Egan takes a hopeful view of the future in South America, e does not feel that there is the slightest danger of a war between Chili, Argentine and Peru. The only difference now existing be- tween Chill and Argentine grows out of the definition of a certain part of the boundary line between the two countries. But this is an insignificant matter, according to Mr. Egan, and if not settled by the usual diplo- matic methods can be readily adjusted through arbitration, which is provided for in the treaties between the two countries, CAPITAL NOTES, REPEAL OF THE SUNDAY WORLD’S FAIR CLAUSR. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.—Congressmen Springer and Durburrow prepared yesterday the joint resolution for a repealofthe Sunday closing feature of the World’s Fair, The re- pealing clause makes it the duty of the Na- tional Commission to see that such rules and regulations are established as will prohibit the use of machinezy, unnecessary manual labor and all merchandising on Sunday and in a general way toso restrict the operations of of the Exposition on that day that onlythe art galleries, horticultural building and other Dulidings devoted to art, sclemce or re- ligion are open tothe public. Mr. Durburrow will introduce this resolution as soonas the House assembles next Monday noon and will have it referred to the Durburrow World’s Fair Committee. He said to-day that he had hopes of seeing the resolution actually passed and out of the way before the Christmas hol- idays. He thinks the change of sentiment on the Sunday question has been such that it will be possible to callup the resolution out of its order by the suspension of the rujes. ; r. Durburrow left last night for New York, where he will see Burke Oockran,Amos Cummings and other New York members with the view of enlisting their sympathies in the new movement. ‘ PROBABLE CLOSING THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Senator Kenna has improved so muchin the last few days that his friends now regard him as out of danger and on the road to speedy recovery. _—_—_ What Senator Lyman Wants.

Mr. Miller can do little more than put an end to the death agony. —_— — _ THERE is some apprehension that the Alabama law which relieves from taxation all non-voting negroes whose property assessment is not more than $5 will ‘*pluck the manhood’’ from the blacks. The manly blacks, however, will pay their taxes and take part in all the elections. As to the other sort, their votes, in most cases, would be likely to do more harm than good. A progressive race is stimu- lated, not checked, by such a law. CHICAGO has acquired a large addition to her criminal classes of late. Thousands of unemployed persons have gathered there in the hope of getting work because of or in connection with the Exposition. OI course a large number have been disap- pointed. The result is a carnival of crime. Seven safes were cracked in one night by burglars. Sneak thieves are numerous, while here and therea bold, bad high- wayman, mounted ona charger, plies his profession in true Dick Turpin style, The police, though there has been a large in- crease in the force, don’t seem to be in it. _— _———— —— —_- Gov. OsBORNE of Wyoming has beef obliged to break into the office to which he was elected. He is opposed by the gang ofrich thieves who made so much trouble in the State afew months ago, and who persuaded President Harrison to lend them Federal aid in carrying through their nefarious schemes. There is no question that Osborne was elected, but it is desired to keep him out of office until after the an- ticipated convictfon of two plutocratic plunderers who got into difficulty during the cattle war, and whom the acting Gov- ernor wants to pardon. It is the same old story so often repeated of late years. When men who have grown rich by im- moral means can no longer manipulate the law they try to accomplish their purposes by defying it. Sa _ ACOORDING to an old saying it is only three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves. Like most old sayings this is more honored inthe breach than in the observance, as is amply proved by the his- tory of the Astors, Vanderbilts and many other rich families which keep their wealth and addtoit. The proverb was probably true in a degree half a century ago, butin these days of corporations the incompetent individual left a large fortune does not try to manage it. He spends his time enjoying it, while the shrewdest minds are employed to look after his interests. A fortune like the Vanderbilts’ or Gould’s cannot be dis- sipated in riotous living, and the Depews and Clarks are ample protection against the imbecility of the rich men themselves. Itis safe to say that no very wealthy per- son need fear poverty either for himself or his descendants. —— _ THE plea that Patrick Bgan is going back to Chili ‘‘for the further adjustment of claims ot American citizens’’ is an absurdity on its face. Egan can hardly get to Chili before he will be recalled by President Cleveland. Itis not likely the new President will allow Egan to represent this country anywhere. His appointment was an insult to Chili; his retention after the exposure of his conduct has aggravated the offense; and the sooner he is remitted toa private station the better for both thisand that country in particular and the cause of diplomacy and decency in general. His return is simply a device to secure some perquisite or consummate some private scheme while still ‘‘dressed in a little brief authority.’’ Itis true his power for mischief will be greatly cur- tailed, but he is one who would manage to raise a row in a prayer meeting. i Ea | —_—_ wv Lizut.

Twenty centuries ago just such & congress was helfin India by the great Buddhist emperor, Asoka, in the City of Pataliputra, moderg Patna, and the noblest lessons tolerance therein enunciated were bodied in lithic records and implenslll in the four quarters of his extensive empire. Here isan extract: ‘King Pyadsi bomors all forms of ree ligious faith * * * and enjoins reverence fos one’sown faith and no reviling or injury of that of others. Let the reyerence be shown in such a mane ner as is suited to the difference of belief * * « he whoin some way honors his own religion, and reviles that of others throws difficulties in tne way = a ag ows religion; this his condust cannot be xht.’ So what was thought to be something en- ‘tirely new, and the outgrowth of Nineteenth | Century American Christianity, is really 2,008 - years old, and the original idea of a heathen monarch. A most excellent idea wherever it comes from and whatever its age. I sin- cerely hope that the Congress of Religions will tend to make all participants as tolerant of all religions not their own as was the good King Pyadsi, If it has such effect it will be worth more to the world at large than all the rest of the great ColumDian circus, So few, 80 very few, of us remember that these wordg are in our Bible: **Then Peter opened ®is mouth and said, of a truth I perceive that God ts no respecter of persons, but in every nation. he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him,’’ This is the fundamental principle and only essential creed of what is sometimes called “*The Broad Cbhurch’’—a church- which may absorb all other churches when the millen- nium arrives, not before. Itis said, on official authority, that Her Majesty’s iron-ciad, the Mowe, recently stranded on the coast of Spain, cost $3,385, 110 exclusive of her guns—which probably cose at least $500,000. So here is some $3,809,000 In. vested in asingle shipof the British navy, and thereare others of the same sort, be- sides a hundred or more smallerones. Thig navy, as everybody knows, is exclusively for war purposes;thatis forthe destruction of people and property. And, as everybody knows, all other European nations of any consequence imitate Englanda’s example as far as they can, and inaddition maintain large and constantly increasing armies for the same destructive purposes, Ther® are more men actually under arms to-day, ready tofight at a mo- ment’s notice, than atany other period of the world’s history. KEither France, Gere many, Austria or Russia have more traihed soldiers to-day (saying nothingof their naval fighters) than Rome had at the height of hes power, when her empire extended from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and from the Euphrates tothe Tweed. Yetal! these nations are what {ts called **Christian ;’’ that Is, they professto believe in and practice the religion of Jesus Christ, Is there not a slight tnconsistency here? Jesus not only said ‘*‘They that take the sword shall perish by the sword,’’ but he said: ‘‘Resist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on. thy right cheek turn to him the other ajso.’* More than elghteen centuries have gone sinc these blessed wérds were spoken, and hever was there such an apotheosis of the sword ag now, and never were Christians less inclined to turn their cheeksto the smiter. Strange indeed—putting religion aside altogether— that what Napoleon rightly called ‘‘the science of barbarism,’’ should have reached its highest perfection in an age of higher civilization than the world has ever before seen. But—— Out of the dark the cireling sphere Is rounding onward to the light; We see not yet the fu]! day here, But we do see the paling night; And Hope that lights her fadelogs fires, And Faith, that shines, a heavenly will, And Love, that courage re-inspires— These stars have been above us still. Oh, sentinels! whose tread we heard Through long bours when we eould not eee, Pause now: exchange with cheer the word— The enchanging watchword, Liberty! Look backward, how much has been won! Look round, how much is yet to win! The watches of the night are done; The watches of the day begin, Oh, Thou, whose mighty patience holds The night and day alike in view, Thy will our dearest hope enfolds: Ob, keep us steadfast, patient, true! The jJatest story of animal sense has the ine dorsement of a pious clergyman in the rural districts of the mighty West. He has a horse which, for eighteen years, he has driven to church every Sunday, fastening him to the fence near by. The horse, he says, has heard the Doxology sungsO many times that he now recognizes it at once, and forthwith be- gins to neigh—knowing that he ts either go- ing home soon, or toa neighbor’s for din- ner. This is a rather tough story, but on account of the authorship we may permit it to pass unqguestionea, Indeed, Ithink nearly every person who has had much to do with the highest order of domestic animals, such as horses and dogs, can tell as tough and as true a one from their own experience. For instance, a near relative of mine was 4&4 physician of extensive practice. Some one gave him a thoroughbred English bulldog, which he kept in the stable with his horses. Betweenone of the horses and the dog a strong attachment sprang Up, so that the former would never go to sleep at Bight unless the dog slept close beside him; and the dog never left the stable except to accompany the horses to the river near by, where they were watered. On one of these occasions he was trotting guletly along be- side them when the driver of a passing ex- press wagon gave him a sharp cut witha whip. The dog stopped and looked around to see where the blow came from; saw the driver on a high seat, ‘and evidently realizing that he could not get athim,and yet determined to *‘get even,’” immediately ran in front of his horse, and, springing up, caught the poor animal by the nose, gave ita violent shake and then trotted off about his business—evidently satisfied with this vicarious punishmeng. Now, if that ig not reason, what Is it? To cali ailsuch exhibitions of intelligence on the part of animals ‘‘instinct,’’ as we were taught to dothirty or forty years ago, is ab- -gurd. The preacher’s horse and the doctor’s bulldog had reason and nothing less; rea- son the same in kind, tf not in degree,as thelr masters.

TRLLING TESTIMONY OF CLARA ALLEN, 4 FALLEN woman. / She Saw One of the Mon Level a Pistol and Fire at Some Object Beyond Her ' Vision—The Suspicious Actions of the Two Mem Afterwards—General Orim- inal News, | OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 3.—Some startling infor- mation was brought out to-dayjin thejexamin- ing trial of Dick Berlin and Chas. Rays, charged with having murdered Mayor Miller of South Omaha, Oct. 4, to prevegt him clos- ing their gambling houses. The accused were brought into the court- room just before the case was called, As the testimony was given the prisoners at- tentively listened to whatthe witness was @aying. Hays was not exactly at his ease and rocked his chair considerably during the hearing. Berlin remained perfectly quiet. When Clara Allen, the principal prosecuting Witness, pointed them out asthe guilty par- ties and placed her hand upon their shoulders they did not change their looks in the least, but closely regarded her with their eyes. Officer J, J, Donohue was called and testi- fled to finding Mayor Miller’s body on Eighth street, between Dodge street and Capitol avenue, in the weeds onthe west of the traveled path. The Mayor was lying upon his right side, his head toward the south and facing the east. His right arm was out- stretched and the leftone at his side. The face was Covered with blood. The revolver was lying about six inches away, infront of the body. Clara Allen,a woman of fiexible morals, was the next witness. she had seen the de- fendants with Miller about noon of the day of hia death. To make certain, she was re- quested to place her hands upon the two men, which she did. She knew Serlin by Dame, and had since learned that his com- panion’s name was Hays. Berlin and Miller were the twoon the porch and Hays was in the hallway ofalow resort near the scene of the tragedy. They remained but afew minutes. They did not appear to be Grunk. Whenthey went away they went to the stairs leadingto Belle Brandon’s house, and the other two seemed to be trying to get Milier to gointothe latter place, but appa- rently he did not want to. This was the last she saw of them together. A few minutes later she saw Hays standl on the side of hili westof Eighth street and north of Dodge street. ‘*Standing down the embankment there,’’ said the witness, ‘‘I could not see him below the hips. I could pot say how far it was to the path, nor how far to Dodge street, but it was protmably from fifteen to twenty-five feet. He wasstanding still and facing the east. When I saw him standing there facing the east, he put his hand in “Mwhis hip- pocket, took out a revolver, leveled it and took aim at something below and fired. He then ran down the hill and got out of sight, andl suppose stooped down. He went down toward Eighth street and remained out of sight about one of two minutes. I saw him come up on Eighth street from the south, going toward Dodge sireet, and on Dodge street west to Ninth street, when he stopped and looked back. I had not seen Berlin since he was standing in front of Belle Brandon’s place until he came from the Deering bullding towards Dodge street. He stopped aad looked around and then started on a trot and when he got on Eighth street stopped oppo- site where Hays looked down. I saw them meet on Ninth and Dodge streets. They went to Ninth and turned south on the east side of the street. I sawonly one shot fired and have not seen Miller alive since.’’ The witness then told of going later inthe evening where Mayor Miller’s body was found, Shesaidthat as near as she could judge the distance from where Miller was found to where Hays stood when he fired the shot was between twenty five and thirty feet, and was directly west. Berlin was not morethan twenty-five feet from the body when he stopped and looked in that direc- tion. The case was continued until Monday. The arrest of Borlinand liays, both South Omaha gamblers, on Oct. 4 created intense excitementin Omaha. The theory of suicide had béen generally Accepted, but those few who believed he had been murdered made up a purse for the purposeof clearing up the Detectives were pet to the result o their the arrest of the two gus Those who have been devot- ing time and money to the case are reticent regarding the chain of evidence which has been secured, and refuse to answer any in- quiries. They stoutly maintain, however, that when the evidence is all given in court it will be enough to convict. The two men are ald sto exactly answer the description of Mayor Miller’s com- nions on the day he was found dead in the weeds down on Dodge street. An- other clew the detectives picked up wasa telegram from Berlin, who was in Kansas City, toa South Omaha man, The telegram was received Thursday morning, two days atter the murder, asking for Wednesday morning’s issues of the Omaha papers. it was afterward ascertained that beriin nt to Kansas City on Tuesday night or Wednes- day morning. Thedeaa body of the Mayor s found Tuesday evening. Ber- remained in Kansas City for some time afterward and his attendance at the inquest could not be had, owing to his absence, al- though his testimony was much aesired. e motive, it is said, for removing Mayor Miller was because he ad deciared war upon the gambling houses and intended to not meet mit their running azain in South Omaha dur- ing hisadministration. Dick Berlin, one of the men under arrest, is not more than 30 ears old. He has been in South Omanha for wo or thgee years, and has conducted a gambiing house during thattime, Me ed down when Mayor Miller’s order was. although he had recently refitted and pommee. lace.

DeTrorrT, Mich., Dec. 8.—Frank Neering, a German farmer, living twelve miles from Alpena, and Sheriff Westrope of that county were in Detroit yesterday looking for Mr, Neering’s little daughter, who mysteriously disappeared from home four years ago. The enuld wasthen 4 years of age. She and some other children went one morning to gather berries, When nightfall come Alma falled toreturn. A thorough search was made, but no trace of her could be found. It was after- ward rumored that she bad been kid- napped by gypsies who had been infest- ingthe country thereabouts, but the report could not be substantiated, For four years the parents continued their inquiries without hearing any tidings of their child until two weeks ago the were startled by the story thata band of gypsies campei near Lenox, &t. Ciair Co., held captive a little girl who was probably little Alma. Some children while visiting the camp had seen there a bright-eyed littie girl about 7 or S years ofage, whotold them she had been kidnapped and reared by the gypsies. Some friends of Farmer Neering, to whom the tale was reported, communicated with him.

About thirty-five head are known to have been stolen by them, and about 100 more have been missed from the community and are charged up to them. Six of the thieves are now in jail. Two of them, Silas Hayes and Join Watson, were also tried to-day and given two years each. Lite testi@ed in both these cases very strongly against the defendaits, making an effort, as he thought, to save himself by turning State's evidence. Witha broad grinon his face he said, as he passed a number of Uarkies atthe door, ‘‘Good-by, niggers, l’se gone from you for fiVe years, dat ain’t long. Don'’ttiorgitme. I’se coming back.’’ FEMALE DICK TURPIN. EXPLOITS OF A DARING AMAZON IN KEN. TVecKyY.

PARIS, Dec. 8.—The present crisisis not merely political, but it is one In which a great constitutional question, if not the life of the Republic, is at stake. The Panama Canal In- vestigating Committee has shown a dis- position to Overstep constitutional rights. Its demana that the documents to be used in the judicial prosecution be handed over to it is regarded asa direct attack upon the most conservative and inviolable institution of the judicial power. M. De Beaurepaire’s refusal to give them up is approved by all who have not lost their heads over the Panama Canal affair. Had M. Brisson, as head of the committee of investigation, been suc- cessful in forming a cabinet his success would have been interpreted as an accept- ance by the deputies of the committee’s illegal policy, the result of which it would have been impossible to foresee, The general apprehension has even mag: nifned the pretention of the com- roittee into aiming at establishing {tself into a sort of committee on public safety with despotic powers. Whether these fears are justifiable or not, certain itis that M. Brisson’s success would have been fol- lowed by a struggle between the Cabinet and the judicial authorities. M. De Beaurepaire is resolute in his not to yield up the documents. He is prepared to resign his position = as Public Prosecutor if the surrender ofthe documents isinsisted upon. M. Bris- son’s openly avowed intention of displacing M. De Freycinet and Burdeau in the face of popular opposition also greatly contributed to his failure, which was halled with general satisfaction. M. Casimer Perier’s failure to forma cab- inet was due tohis inability to obtain the support of the advanced KepuDlicans, which was necessary, as he acted to forma ministry of the best men of all parties and further to the insuperable difficulty of finding a suitable man to take the portfolio of the Minister of Justice. His proposed cabinet, it was circulated this morning, was comprised of men possessing public confidence, several from M. Loubet’s Ministry, whom M. Brisson bad ignored. M. Ribot, however, refused to accept the Minis- try of Justice, which M. Oasimer Perier had intended for him. Several other proposed members also proved unwilling to accept the positions assigned to them. M. Casimer Perler, recognizing the hopelessness of his task, in view of those re- fusals, saw President Carnot this afternoon ana announced his inability to form a Cabinet. The news of M. Casimer Pertier’s failure was received with general regret. Even his opponents admitted his integrity, while the Conservatives had promised to support his administration, his policy on economic ques- tions being identical with theirs and favor- ing the Melin tariff. When M. Casimer Perier’s Withdrawal be- came known, the opinion was general that M. De Freycinet would be asked to forma dissolution ministry, which, it was expected, would be the present Cabinet re- modelled, with M. Constans in the home office and Mm. Loubet and Ricard omitted. President Carnot, © however, at 7 o’ clock to-night, sent for M. Bourgeois, and asked him to make an effort to form a ministry. M. Bourgeois’ de- cision has not yet been announced. If he re- fuses the task or fails in the attempt, MM. De Freycinet and Tirardare the next favor- ites. A deputy has announced his intention to submit in the Chamber on Mon- day next a proposition to sus- pend the Panama Committee sitting until June 10, when the trial of the Panama Canal directors begins. The names of the payees of the Thierry checks leaked out through M. Cornelius Herz, a well-known Parisian, now in London, who received two checks, each for 2,000,000 francs. He has telegraphed to the committee of inquiry that his checks were received from Baron de Reinach in pay- ment of a debt. M. received checks or 2,850,000 Senator Renault received francs and Albert Grevy 20,000 francs. Charles De Lesseps writes, denying the truth of certain statements made by M. Cantagrel at yesterday’s examination. Mr. Cantagrel testified that an employe of the Panama Canal offered him first 100,000 francs, then 200,000 francs and finally 600,000 francs if he would vote for the Panama Canal lottery bill. The other payees are prac- tically unknown, the names given, like that of Bank Porter Davoust, credited with receiving a for 800 ,000 francs, being, supposed merely cloaks to cover the identity of the actaal recipients. Senator Renault, in testifying before the committee this after- noon, explained that the checks bearing his name were received in payment of a debt. M. Constans has written a letter tothe President of the Panama Canal Investigation Commission, denying the statement made by a witness before the committee that he (Constans) bought papers relating to the Panama Canal Oo. M. Rossignol, who testified to the squan- dered 2,000,000 or 2,500,000 francs in buying editors and Deputies and other classes of boomers, is acknowledged to have described only the brighter side of the cloud. He assumed that the 600,000,000 francs sent to the Isthmus up to 1988. were spent honestly. The fact is an open secret among Paris engineers that every man in charge of the canal work retired very An English engineer who returned to London from Paris last night told your correspondent that at the Engineers’ Club in Paris, on Wednesday, he saw an estimate red by men familiar with the canal .

Lorimer and twenty-three men, the crew of the British steamship Lunedale, which sunk in mid- ocean, were aboard the British steamship Cynthiana when she reached quarantine from Hamburg last night. Oapt. Lorimer and his men were taken off by the Cynthiana on Nov. 2when they had given i ge an gan of succor. They were res not a moment too soon, for hardly had they ained the Cyntniana ere the Lunedale urched and meet gage beneath the waves that almost lapped her deck when her crew escaped. Capt. Lorimer told the story of the disastrous voyage to-day. The Lunedale left Philadelphia on Oct. 31, laden with wheat in bulk for Copeahagen, Gale after gale pounded the vessel from the day she left port.. Monu- tainous billows swept over her, and she was hardly able with the aid of her machinery to keep her head to the seas. Occasionally the wind abated for a brief period,then another gale would toss the vessel like a leaf on the waves and noth- ing could be done but try to hold her nose in the teeth of the storm which lashed her. The engines gave out on Nov. Ié6and for five days the steamer drifted at the mercy of the big seas. A drag served to make her ride somewhat easier, but her cargo weighted her | was no chance to - get rid orf dared not open a h. the? done 50 the hold would have been filled speedily by the waves, which toppled over on the Lune- dale’s decks. Soon after the machinery gave outa new Canger menaced, The vessel had begun to leak. In spite of all efforts the water gained on the men who labored at the umps. Every moment the vessel sank ower. The water resched the cargo and the wheat began to swell, involving the possi- bility of bursting the plates apart. With less- ening bope the wretched crew labored stead- fastly and Nov, 21 the Oynthiana was sighted. Oapt. Lorimer hoisted international code signal letters which read ‘‘lam sinking.’’ Capt. McKenzie of the Cynthiana saw it, bore down and quickly lowered his boats, There was a terrific seaon and the wind was tele | a gale, the life boats worked to lee- ward of the sinking steamer, whose crew cea overboard one by one were hauled nto the boats.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 8.—Reports are being received here of damage caused in dif- ferent parts of the State by the recent storm. At Pleasanton, Alameda County, the Millard ‘Dbrickyard was almost entirely destroyed, causing a loss of over $25,000. The levee sur- rounding the Jersey tract of 5§,500 acres in Contra Costa County has been broken by high water in the San Joaquin River and the entire tract flooded. The estimated loss is $20,000, Several sloughs north of the town ofr Biggs, Colusa Co., overfiowed this morning, flooding the northern part of the town; 400 sheep were drowned. The creeks around the town of Livermore, Alameda Lo., overflowed this morning and water is running through the main streets, filling many cellars. At the latter place last night, Ernest Nicholson, his wife and two children were drowned while attempting to cross the creek to higher ground, their bome having been flooded, DROWNED WHILE SKIFF RIDING. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 8.—Last night about 5 o’clocka skif? containtag eight men cap- sized while crossing the Ohio River from the foot of Wilkins street, Allegheny, to McKee Rocks. John Gephart was drowned and John Millerisina very critical condition to-day. The other six men were saved by holding on to the skiff. Gephart leaves a wife anda large family. Milleris also married. All the men who wereinthe skiff are employed at Riter & Conley’s millat.Woods Kun.

New York, Dec. 38.—The steamer Prins Frederick Hendrick, which arrived this morning from Paramaribo, has on board the mate, cookand one seaman of the schooner Jennie 8., which went ashore outside the Harbor of Jacmel, Hayti, on Nov. 13, and be- camea total loss. The schooner left New York Oct. 24, and on arrival at Jacmel was ordered by the authorities to perform quar- antinein a dangerous position off arock- bound coast, exposed to an opensea. On Sunday, Nov. 13, there was a heavy swell on, the windlass broke, the chain parted andin a few minutes the schooner wentashore. all hands were saved, ) IS NOT DISCRIMINATION. BosToxr, Mass., Dec. 3.—Tbe Boston & Maine Raliroaa Co. has decided tocharge the Cun- ard Steamship Co., the Warren Line com- pany and the Johnson Line company for all grain loaded into the steamers of these lines from the Boston & Maine’snew elevator on Mystic Wharf. Ontheother handthe Allan Line steamers and those of the Leyland Line can load their vessels direct fromthe Boston & Maine’s big elevator without paying forthe handling of §the grain. The Boston & Maine officials claim that thereis no discrimination against any company, and that the difference in ratesto the various companies is due to the situation of the docks of these companies. A LABORER’S EUTHANASIA, Fostoria, O., Dec. 8.—John Scherer and Wm. Myers, laborers, together occupy an old shanty inthe southern outskirts of the city. Last night they were rudely awakened bya gangof young toughs headed by a young fellow named McCulloch, who had with them akeg of beer, two ju«s of gin and one of blackberry brandy. They stated that they were out fora good time. Scherer and Myers admitted four of the crowd and the sextet began to empty the jugs. This morning Myers could arouse all of themexcept Scherer and McCulloch. Shortly before noon he tried againand succeeded in arousing McCulloch, but Scherer was found to be dead. KILLED AY WOLVES. WicnITa, Kan., Dec. 3.—A little gon of Peter Lyons,an Oklahoma farmer, was killed by wolves last night and its. body partially eaten. The tot was missed about dark but the remains were not discovered til this morning. Since the Cherokee Strip was vacated by the cattlemen the wolves of that section have invaded Northern Oklahoma in big packs and the farmers have suffered severe losses in stock from their depreda- tions. This is the second life lost within the past two weeks. FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED. ANNISTON, Ala., Dec, 8.—An Alabama min- eral freight train was wrecked at Jenifer, twelve miles south of here, to-day. The en- gine, tender and baggagecar turned over down anembankment, but no one was in- jured except Robert L. Weaver, a brakeman who received slight bruises about the hea and body. Engineer Howden and his fireman were in the engine, but escaped urhurt. KILLED BY A PANTHER. MILAN, Tenn., Dec. 8.—Walter Cayce and a young negro, while hunting in Leach’s Swamp yesterday morning, were attacked by a monster panther.

COMSTOCK & FOURTH SIREET, 4 WATER THE CAUSE —— Typhoid Fever Discussed by the St. Louis Medical Society. ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF CASES THE GENUINE DISEASE. Dr. Ourtman’s Chemical Analysis Shows That the Water Is an Excellent Basis for the Propagation of Disease Germs Affected by the Lowell Nuisances— The Atmosphere Not Responsible. At the regular weekly meeting of the St. Louls Medical Society last night,/Dr. Dorsett, the President, wasin the chair andan un- usually large number of members were pres- It was expected that the committee on supply would make a full re- port and throw some light on the effect of the Lowell nuisances on our presemt hydrant water. Dr. Briggs, who was to make the general report ofthe committee, stated that the investigation had not proceeded far enough at present to give the society any very definite data as to the extent to which the river water was infected with disease germs. iis report showed that the committee had made atour of Lowelland the surroundings and had inspected the points where the three creeks, Gingrass, Harlem and Moline, emptied into their contents into the Missis- sipp!, It also showed that a visit had been paid to the various dairies and rendering establishments with Mr. Charles W. Francis, Chief Sanitary In.- spector, as guide, and an investigation made in a general way of the character of the ref- use from these establishments which was carried off by the creeks, A visitto the lab. oratory at the new Water-works was also described and while the committee found it very available and suitably equipped for chemic alanalysis it was very deficient at present for the purpose of bacteriological ex- aminations. THE WATER UNSAFE. It was the general opinion of the committee thatacertain portion or the refuse matter which is emptied intothe river from the Pral- rie avenue sewerand from the three creeks mentioned above found its way into the in- let pipes of the Water-works by reason of ed- dies and back currents from the shore of the river. ‘he character of the deposits floating on the surface of these creeks justi- fied the committee, therefore, in makinga report that it was at least unsafe and unwise to drink the water which is at present fur- nished through the city mains. This conclusion was reached after inspect- ing the settling basins. which have a surface of 600,000 square feet, and which necessarily expose the water after it has been pumped from the river to the contamnation of disease germs which may be wafted from Lowell over its surface when- ever a wind is bilowing from _ that direction, Dr. Dean As a mem- ber of the committee who was to makea report of a general microscopicar character, stated that he would not be ready until next Saturday, and Dr. Beggs, who was set down for the bacterio- logical report, was not present. Dr. Ourtman, the fourth member of the com- mittee, however, was ready witha report of the chemical analysis of the water which he had made, and which he read tothe society. He stated that he had tested the water from various sources, after first (having let it set- tle for twenty-four hours, so as to clear it to a certain extent of its usual muddy appearance. Histests had been made for nitrogenous matter, for ammonia anda for albuminus ma@er, the exact amount of each found being given in figures in the French metric system. BASIS FOR DISEASE GERMS. His conclusions were that the water con- tained more than the usual amount of or- ganic matter, and that it afforded an excel- lent Dasis in its present state for the propa- gation and growth of bacteria and disease germs of all kinds. In reply to a question asked by a member Dr. Briggs stated that the committee \had found the northern and southern parts of the city os een | free from ‘ty- phoid fever. r. L called upon Chief Sanitary Francis to enlighten the society as to the prevalence of the disease and its gereral distribution over the city. He said that there been 2,500 cases reported since last, of which 1,900 had been reported since Nov. 1, and 1,500 since Nov.i5 last. In Carondelet there had been Dut seven cases reported during the entire year. The majority of cases were.in the territory bounded by Cass avenue, the Gravols road, G a avenue and the river, zaere were no cases in Benton, Cheltenham, fton Heights and other points in that section.

Mr. Francis stated that so far as he knew no thorough examination of the milk had been made to detect typhold germs In it. NOT ALL TYPHOID. Dr. Ludwig Bremer said that from his experience he was inclined to think that the large majority Of cases reportedas typhoid were nothing more than the old remittent or Dilious fever. In few cases that he hai been called upon to examine were therethe real unmistakable signs of genuine typhoid fever. however, that this fever which was so prev- alent in the city must be attributed to the water supply as he had been in East st. Louls, and in the entire flooded district of last summer and he falled to finda report ofa singie gen- ulne case oftypholia fever. He thought that many physicians had been hasty in making their reports to the Health Department. There were two distinct types of the fever,he claimed, onethe typhoid and the other the Dillous-remittent fever which at certain Stages might be mistaken for each other. Dr. McPheeters was of the opinion that the present epidemic was not one of typhoid fever nor of ma'aria, or Intermittent fever, but one sul generis and different in some re- spects from all of these. In his experl- ence of fifty years he had never met with a fever which presented the symptoms precisely the same as the present one does. He also was of the opinion that it could not be directly attributed to the watersupply. After some further discussion the society adjourned tocontinue the dis- cussion next Saturday. GIBES AT 8T. LOUIS LEGS, The Old Co'onial Minuet Provokes Ribald Jesting Abroad It is not altogether out of the range of pos- sibility that the old colonial minuet ofthe ball given by the Daughters of the Confedracy has produced graver results than the exposure of the lack of confidence felt by the society men of St. Louisinthe symmetry and gen- eral pulchritude of their nether limbs. it is gravely asserted now, and isa matter of open and somewhat unfeeling re- mark about the City Hall, the Merchants’ Exchange and other places where politicians and business men gather that i..r. Eugene Sweeny’s street railway bill, which asked for a franchise worth several milifon dollars, came to grief in theCounclil through the minuet, itis stated authoritatively that the bill lost important support at a critical time, because some oO the members. got an unfavorable impression of the projector’s business stability, hearing that he had clothed his legs, usually garbed in the sober black ofthe plaincitizen, in Knee-breeches and silk stockings on the nightof Dec. 1, and had bowed, posed and capered in the minuet to the lascivious bleating of an or- chestra. Mr. Sweeny has gone much into society since he has been here. He spends most of his leisure time at the Untversity Club, has been introduced general by Col. RB. C. Kerens, and at the invitation of Mrs. J. Le. DD. Morrison attended a rehearsal of the minuet. as & @ matter of fact that he was asked todance the minuet, but he declined. Mr. Willt Brown, a director of the City Central Co., whose franchise was treated so cavalierly in the council, the other night,sald, discussing the report to which allusion has been made, *‘Mr. Sweeny, I know, was asked to join the minuet party when they were making up the couples, but he said to the lady who asked him, ‘My dear madam, Iam asking for a franchise in the Council just now, and I can’t afford toappear publicly as a dancing man.’ In spite of that, in some way the papers got his name inas one of the minuet dancers, and the next morning he was very much worrled. He said to me: ‘If my friend Hoolan hears of this, he’ll vote against my Dill sure.’ ’’ Mr. Sweeny’s fears seem to have had some foundation, for Councilman Hoolan’s vote was cast aganst him at the Coun- cil meeting night.

An Attorney on the Verge of Madness— Having Filed Suit for Divorce and Re- tained Counsel the Plaintiff Eloped With Respondent— A Legal Predica- ment. NEw YORK, Dec, 8.—Lawyer Geo. W. Wilson of No. 335 Broadway has handled a good many divorce cases in his time and as a gen- eral thing never loses any sleep over them, but he has one onthe tapis now that is bothering him most to death. He declares that unless his client turns up with- in a few days he will certainly gomad. The difficulty is that his client ts the plaintiff in the action for divorce, and. to think that he should be s0 tender-heartedgeas to skip out with his wife, from whom he wanted a divorce, is enough to cause any lawyer to grieve. Mr. Wilson Is in hopes of locating his naughty client before many days, and it is safe to say he will have a vast deal of good advice to give him at the meeting. In his complaint Henry B. Aikens, who has a big paint store at No. 448 Grand avenue, Brooklyn, says that he is .married to a woman whose maiden name was Whitehouse, and it is not difficult to see that Mr. Aikens was quite sure he had madea mistakein picking outa life partner when the complaint was drawn. He alleged that his wife was untrue and did many things which looked a trifle shady. The testimony reads to the effect that Aikens found her with a man named Wm. Thompson in the Stomer Hotel, New York. Daniel Cherry, John 8S. Smith and Herbert Jackson were with Aikens at the time. They told practically thesame story whenthe matter came upin the Queens County Court, Long Island City, Oct. 9, 1891. When Aikens learned that his wife was inclinedto think that nuptial knots were not always dead right he left her and set outon a still hunt to see if the reports which reached him were really true. The evidence sgtutes that it did nottake him long to Satisfy himself that the Knot which was tied something like ten years ago was getting a little slack. He then procured the services of Mr. Wilson and the suit for dl- vorce was brought at once. The case was tried over a year ago, but nothing was heard of the matter by outside people until yester- day. The court decided thatit looked likea case Of collusion, but allowed the matter to hang fire, so that the plaintig® might get more evidence. Aikens met his wife shortly afterwards and they stifled their feelings and went to live together. They could not agree, however, Lawyer Wilson says. Mrs. Aikens was pugilistic in her in- clinations. On several occasions, he says, the angry woman led off with her right and gave her husband a black eye. Aikens took a couple of doses of black eyes all right, but drew the line at thethird. He remem- bered that old saying: ‘‘Once is enough twice is too many, and three !s enough to kill the Old Harry.’’ Aikens again left his wife, and managed to stay away from her for a couple of months. It is sald he grew rather homesick, and another recon- ciliation was broughtabout. This one proved to be.quite enduring. Mrs. Aikens Is de- scribed asa pretty woman, and she has been onthestage. She wasa member ofthe ‘‘ Aunt Bridget’s Baby’’ company for some time and went West once. She was known in the profession as May Livingston. She took a tripto Europe several years ago, but Mr. Wilson does not Know what company she was traveling with at the time. She mode quite a hit on the boards and theatrical peo- ple could not see why she should leave the protession. About three weeks ago Mr. Wilson got wind that his.client and his wife had skipped out. He Wondered why such a thing had happened and tried to find out, but nobody appeared to know what had become of Mr. and Mrs. Aikens. Now Mr. Wilson is of the opinion that the caseagwill always hang fire unless Mrs. Aikens gives her husband an- other Diack eye. Such a proceeding would liven matters up a good deal. - FIRES.

LOUIS SKETCHES, A Countryman Who Wanted a Divorce for a Peculiar Reason—Other Stories. A tall, lank man with hayseed in his beard and possessing an tinmistakable rustic air sauntered into Judge Fisher’s court-room last Friday afternoon and, after sampling the water in the ice-cooler, looked around him in a questioning way. The court was not in session at the time and, besides the stranger, there were only two lawyers, the Clerk and a reporter present. **Looking for anyone?’’ asked one of the gentleman of the stranger. ‘*Yes, sir. I want tosee the Judgoe.’’ He was informed that the Judge had gone home, and after several attempts to ascer- tain his business, he said: ‘*Well, what I want to see the Judge for is, I want to get a diyorce.’”’ ‘*You will have to employ a lawyer for that, the Judge could not doanything for ou.’ ‘*] don’t wanta lawyer. I know the Judge would grant mea divorce if he heard my case, without a lawyer.’’ ‘*But your Wife would have to be notified and be represented in court.’’ ‘*Oh! the old woman is all right. I ain’t gotathing tosay against her, and she has agreed to let me get it,’”’ ‘*‘Why,’’ said one of thelawyers, ‘‘that would be the very thingto throw you outof court—there must be no collusion between husband and wife in a divorce case.’’ ‘*] don’t care a continental about that; me andthe old woman get alongall right, but I’ll be d—d iflcan livein the same house with. that kid of hers.’’ ‘*Ign’t it yours, too?’’ **No, sir. before this. He belongs to her; she had him before I married her.’’ ‘*Why don’t you throw him out?’’ ‘*‘Oh, Ican’t dothat, the —— little rascal is only 13 years old, and I can’t turn him out onthe streets. But I’ve got to do some- thing and that purty soon. Ican’t live in the same house with that boy, if Ido I’l kill him, or he’ll kill me ifIdon’t. 1 think if the Judge heard my case he’addo something forme.’’ He would not tell now the boy was rendering his life miserable, but being advised to consult an attorney, he left the court saying he guessedhe wouldas he could’t live that way any longer, A PROFESSIONAL CRIMINAL GUARD, A heavy set man apparently 65 years of age, wearing a full growth of beardanda long mustache tinged with gray, satin the rotunda of the Laclede last night readinga Chicago paper. The gentleman was Mr. M. W. Goodman, the professional crim- inal death watch, who is known throughout~ Missouri, Kansas and the West, as one of the shrewdest men that ever handled an offender. Mr. Goodman arrived in the city yesterday from Chicago to accept a position in a clothing-house, he having decided to give up the profession that he has followed for twenty years. He says he has tired of the business. Mr. Goodman says that one of the criminals he had dealings with was Marion Hedgpeth, the alleged express robber, now 1n jail at St. Louls. Hestates that he had Hedgpethina chain gang at the Cooper County (Mo.) jail, and the fellow was always causing trouble, oa says he intends paying Hedgpetha visit. ‘*John Oscar Turlington, alias John West, was the sharpest magn I ever held a death watch my re- marked Goodman. *‘*He escaped from more penitentiaries than any other criminal known to the police in the 80s. He got mixed upina shooting scrape near Sedaila, Mo., and was sentto the Boonville jail to serve three months. Hissentence had nearly ex- ired when he made a break for liberty, kill- ng the shertf, T. C. Cranmer. He was at large a few hours when he was captured and once more lodged in jail. Twomen were em- ployed to watch htm, but one morning about three weeks after his first escape, it was dis- covered that Turlington had mysteriously disappeared. His cell door was locked, as were also all of the jaildoors. Noone could give a satisfactory explanation is disappearance, and he given. up as «one for ‘ but was captured six weeks afterwards in Ken. tucky. He was returned to the Boonville handcuffed d of was horse and once more t. Ag was captured and lodg in jail when I was placed death watch over him until his day of execution. In*#three months I never had my eyes off of him, for he could slipa pair of handcuffs off just as easily as a finger-ring and could come about as near evaporating as any man I ever saw.’” / HIS BOSS A JOKER, noon and inquiring office presented a postal card stating that he had been given the card by his em- and told eget gh digs nape i ofice at Four Courts and he we sonal Sagar 2 are *, , ) gray ag fhe . » aati wat * , is “> > & OS PSs? pup age en ae ae RR As aaa : " , -~ * . a ite oy, If he was I guessI’d killed him 1 lot 12°4 and 13-4 White Australian All Pure Wool Superfine Blankets, slightly soiled; mnfr’s price, $12.50 and $13. 50; Our Price for Monday, $9.75 and $10.50 pr BLANKETS $5 could not readand did not know what was on the card He was told that hts employer had doubt- | less played a joke on him, and the card was was read to him. **That’s it,’’ said the negro. ‘*He’s al- ways playing some kind a joke on me.

The plugged nickels and the mutilated dimes are becoming very scarce much tothe relief of the street car conductors and the nn- suspecting patrons who take the owl car, The mutilated coins are in the city, however, but they are resting quietly at the bottom of the ‘‘nickel in the slot’’ machines where you can ascertain your weight, test your lungs and hear the phonograph execute the ‘*Whistiing Coon’’ or some selection from the "iarine Band, all for5cents. These clever devices are perfection in a certain sense, and they will do the same service for a coin that a street car conductor passes back to youasfor a bran new nickel made in 1892. ‘This state ofaffairs has begun toannoy the phonograph agents who have their machines stationed around inthe fash- jonable cafes, as the proceeds from the ma- chines, while all clear profit, would not y storage room for Mr. Edison’s money-making machine, as fifteen out of twenty nickels are ese gg The street car conductors are appy while the agents of the phonographs are studying up some plan to mutilate the of the next man who makes an attempt to cheat the honest lung-tester, weighing machine and phonograph. “CIRCUS COMING, MARY.” How the Femily Came to an Amicable Understanding. The head ofthe family lingered over his coffee. Clearly something lay heavy on his mind. Now and then he darted a quick look at the partner of his joys and sorrows across the table and coughed lightly, only to turn his gaze again into his cup, says the Detroit T . Atlength he spoke, **Circus coming, Mary.’’ He sought to create the impression that he was voicing a casual refiection. The de- mure lady across the table nodded affirm- atively. **It’s a good circus, I think. He was playing with his fork absently. It was several minutes before he had anything further to say. ‘*I guess,’’ he observed, with an air which was only a fair imitation of the off-hand, **that nothing is more instructive than a good circus—’ The careful observer might have noticed 4 shadow settiing upon the fine face of the matron.

Her love for Orte Hunt, a young motorman in Dubuque, caused her to leave all that was Gear to her and fly with him to this city. The Small city of Dubuque was thrown into an excited state last Wednesday when it was learned that Mrs. Shannon, the Wife of Edward Shannon, engineer on the Chicago & North western, had left town alone, the night before.

PITTSBURG, Pa,., Dec. 3.—The efforts to sup- press the socilalevil in Pittsburg by closing the houses of ill-repute has resolved itself intoa conflict between the department of public safety and the mayor ofthecity. Asa result the police order to close the disorderly houses was declared inoperative yesterday. Just when the outcasts had completed their arrangements toabandon their old-time re- sorts Chief J. O. Brown instructed Roger O’Mara, Superintendent of Police, to with- draw the closing order and to notify the women that they could remain undisturbed until Mayor Gorrley should indicate the exact time at which he desires the original order enforced. Mayor Gourley is wrestling with the city digest and the ordinances and taking legal advice, witha viewto enabling him to act promptly and advisedly in the contest in which he is involved.

Mayor, he wiiltake such action as will sus- | tain the position he has assumed, require obedience from the departments under his supervision. Chief Brown’s letter to Supt. O’Mara revoking the order closing the disorderly houses Is as follows: Roger O’ Mara, Esg., Superintendent Bureau of Police: DEAR Srrm: On Nov. 30, 1592, the Hon. H. J. Gourley, Mayor of the city of Pittsburg, by an order, a copy of which you have, directed the closing of ali houses of ill-repute. in compliance with said mandatory order of his honor, I directed you to close and keep closed said houses. His honor yes- terday, in his public capacity, declared your at- tempt and action tocomply with his mandatory order ofthe 30th tobe *‘cruel, ruthiess, inhuman and unjust.’’ In view of said public utterances vou need noteject or molestany of the inmates of the houses of prostitutiou until His Honor shall indicate the date at which he desires his order Very truly yours, J. A. BROWN, Chief of Department of Public Safety. Immediately upon receipt of this notice Supt. O’Mara sent for his inspectors and they detailed police and detectives to go around and notify the women that they might open their houses atonce. In several cases the police found that the women had gone. Others were generally weeping and desperate. They were making no effortto leave, and were simply waiting rot athe aay when they would be forced into the street. They overloaded the police with thanks. The change in the sit- uation was accepted asa fight between the two departments of the city government, andthe people are watching the outcome eagerly. The ministers call@1 together by Mayor Gourley to discuss the ways and means of providing homes for the outcasts met in the Mayor’s private office at 2 o’glock yesterday afternoon. About twenty preach- ers, representing several denominations, a dozen women, representing char- itable institutions, and T. R. Pfarr, an officer inthe Salvation Army, at- tended. Mayor Gourley, in receiving the ministers, sald: **There may besome among the unfortu- nate women of the city, as was intimated by them yesterday, who are disposed to reform and try to earn a decent and honorable living if they could find places where they could do so. lLtold them at their meeting yesterday if there were any among them who gwanted to reform, the hand of every good man and woman inthe city should be extended. Isaid I would speak to the gentlemen who were instrumental in having this order issued and would learn what could be done forthem. Il want to say that thisis this most difficult question that any municipality has to contend with, and it shouid be dealt with carefully and with thought. I don’t know the closing up will dimin'tsh theevil. Isimply say it isa great questicn, but as I said before, there may women among them who may have ua desireanda wish to reform, and someone must take them in, an i know no one in the world who will do so if you don’t. It is not | duty to reform these women; it is yours. vaoe 7 drove me to the wall put your hand on the me to enforce it ‘yes.’ I never shirked my duty and Inever will, What the police will doI don’t know.

Donohoe assured the Mayor tha; the Christian people of Pittsburg heart- ily indorsed his action, adding: ‘‘l think I speak for other ministers when I say thig robiem is not an easy one to solve. speak from experience in this matter asi havecomein contact with itfor many years.

There ts an escape forall. The infidelity of our people ts to Dlametoa certain extent.’’ Mayor Gourley here said that a man who would not permit hisname to be used had given him $100 for these people. He would turn itover to any committee the minister might name and urged the appoint- ment of a committee as the most practicable way to getat the work for which they had been called together. Dr. R. M. Sands sald thatthe United Pres- byterian Ministerial Association would stand by the Mayor and would do what they could. He said that the association dia not want to push the matter to the wail, but wanted him to do what he could, and he did doit. The Rev. Dr. D. 8. Little assured the Mayor of the support and confidence of the people, adding: ‘‘I believe we shouid take in all these women whotruly repent and want to be cleansed. We should stand together and pledge ourselves to takein all who want to reform. I1 could not give’ a room in my house to a woman who wants to ply her trade, but I could give a place to a woman who wants to reform. The licensing of these places is intolerable and I think we should say so to-day. ’’ The Rev. Mr. Stanton said: ‘‘The law should be enforced. There are four or five institations for these women to go to, but they do not ask for ald at these places.’’ The Rev. Mr. Miles, one of the Board of Managers of the Bethesda Home, said: ‘‘Our home is open andi believe we can take in fifty of these women if they desire tore- form.’’ The Rev. Dr. Hodges thought that there were plenty of homes for these women. He said: ‘*I don’t think the hopes that are sought for will be attained. To drive out these women is like treating a sore on the body and spreading the disease all over the body.I think a blunder was madeatthe bottom of the whole business, but since it is upon us we should look the Matter squarely in the face and do what we canfor them. I don’t think the closing of these houses will re- form these women, but I ain willing to lend a helping hand,’’ He left im- medigtely after the speech. The Rev. Dr. Miller thought that if they wouldn’t reform they should be sent to the Work-house and treated like other criminals. At this point Mayor Gourley became a little nettled and said: ‘‘Look here, gentlemen, I gravely question the methods you would apply. lIrather believe in the means em- ployed by Francis Murphy. He goes down among the drunkards. He extends jo them a helping hand and he lifts them up. You preach- ers preach tothe same people every Sunday and you never go outside and hunt the sin- ners up and bring them in.’’ Some of the ministers protested vigorously against this accusation, but Miss Bird, a missionary, sided with the Mayor. The Rev, Mr. Miller asked rather sar- castically, why the Mayor didn’t **go down ee to which his Honor replied: **It is not.my place.’’ It was finally decided to appoint a com- mittee consisting of Revs. Little, Donahoe, Gisler, Applegarth, Hodges and Miss EK.

It was algo moved and carried that the Mayor continue to enforce the laws and the ministers should guarantee him their The meeting then adjourned. shook his head significantly except to say that he had th his counsel and expected to be ready tq@act in the matter to-morrow.

It was the all absorbing topic on every side, **Will the ring get Gourley in a hole on the social evil?’’ and the general impression was that they would not, and that the technical defense raised as to the exact time of enforcing the original order was not raised in good faith. It was suggested th the details of the carrying out of the Mayor’s order were left to the Police with the supposition that it would act reasonably inthe matter. Others said that, granting that to be the Case, the Mayor had weakened his case by his severe criticism of the Police Department. Others still were disgusted and wished the officials and de- artments of the city had more Dusiness and ess politics in them, Last night every one of the resorts on First, Second and Third avenues were closed tight.

Saloon-Keeper Harrison’s Street Department Pull. eee It Is Shown inthe Strange Case of Mr. Eugene Levy. 4 PAY-ROLL ORDER I3SUED ON HARBRI- S0N FOR DISCOUNT. J His Regular Charge Is 5 Per Cent and a ““Bar-Room”’ Rake-Off—The Peculiar Method by Which Levy Was to Receive the Amount Due Him for Ten Days’ Work—Maj. Murphy and the Case of David Hogan. The experience of a man who recently did some work in the employ of the City Street Department brings to light rathera queer system of municipal ‘‘paying-off’’ of whicn & prominent ‘‘push’’ saloon-keeper seems to bethe chief beneficiary, The man in ques- tion is one Eugene Levy, who was employed forafew daysinthe Street Repair Depart- ment under Superint endent of street Repairs Duffy, ana the saloon-keeper who appears to be on the inside when the ‘‘paying-off’’ time arrives with certain pickings of discounts, etc., is the well known ‘‘Jim’’ Narrison, whose daily presence at the City Hall is alone indicative of his apparent busi- ness Connection with the municipal govern- ment. The story of the way in which Mr. Levy ran upagainst Saloonkeeper Harrison in his oficial dealings with the street repair department of St. Louts is a significant one. AN INTERESTING CASE. During the political campaign just ended Mr. Eugene Levy secured a position under the Demociatic State Central Committee, and did some work for them which was only brought toa close by the closing of the cam- paign. He had been directly under charge of Maj. Harvey W. Salmon, chairman of the State Executive Committee, and when Maj. Salmon informed him that there was no more work to be done in the committee's em- ploy, Levy asked the Major to use his influ- ence to procure him, Levy, employment under the city zovernment. Levy’s work for the State Central Committee had been satis- factory, and Maj. Salmon promised to assist him as requested. The result was that Levy did, through Maj. Salmon, obtain a tem- porary appointment in the Street Repair De.- partment, which he accepted, and went to without the ready money.

Levy’s employment in the new fleld lasted for ten days, at the expiration of which time, there being no further use for his serv- ices, he wastold that his connection with the Street Department was at an end. By way of payment for his services, Levy states that he was given an order on ‘*im’’ Harri- son forthe Wages due him. He was told, he says, that the City Treasurer would not pay the warrant for the amount due him, but that Saloonkeeper ‘‘Jim’’ Harrison would **discount’’ the order handed him, and thus save him the necessity of waiting. The order on Harrison was issued by Thos. L. Kick, in Supt. Duffy’s office, and is itself an interesting document, as show- ing the pleasantly close connection between that department and a ‘‘push’’ saloon, It reads as follows: ORDER ON *‘JIM’’ HARKHISON, Drc. 2, 1892. James Harrison: This is tocertify that Eugene Lev coming to him in November, at $22.50. has ten davs 2.26 per day. Tnos. L.

He discovered, he States. that Saloonkeeper Harrison’s ‘‘soft snap’’ in this arrangement lay in the fact that the saloonkeeper charged a ‘‘discount rate’’ of 5 per cent on all orders he cashed, and that the party thus favored was also ex- pected to spend some of the money in Harri- s0n’s saloon before leaving. Levy says that he was told that there were always several **hangers-on’’ in the saioon, and that it was the custom and expected without fallthata man for whom Saloonkeeper Harrison **discounted’’ a municipal order would invite ‘‘allhands’’ uptotakea drink, after paying Harrison’s discount rate of 5 per cent onthe face ofthe order. But before doing that there was another formality to be gone through with. A printed form would have to be filled out on certain blank spaces author- izing Saioon-keeper ‘‘Jim’’ Harrison to draw and sign for Levy’s wages from the City Treasurer. That printed form reads as fol- lows: St. Louis, Mo.. .... . om; > 2 Thereby authorize ...........to sign my : nametothe pay roil for the month of : _ .. 159.., apndreceive amount : due me thereon. - Te City Treasurer. When all these ‘‘forms’’ were gone through with, the baiance due the unfortunate city employe would then be paid, the little opera- tion leaving ‘*Jim’* Harrison’s saloon sev- eral doilars richer than when the employe was **steered’’ to it from thejstreet Kepair Department.

According to Street Commissioner Mur- phy’s own admission, he has retained a man inthe employ of the Street Department for two years whois accused of burglary, who now, it is stated, is under indictment on that charge, and yet who was, at least until yesterday, still one of Maj. Murphy’s em- ployes. The man’s name ig David Hogan, an John J. Bowlin of No. 2002 Franklin avenue charges that on Jan. 28, 1890, Hoganand one Wm. Lang burglarized his store atthatnumberand stole $2 from the cash drawer. Thecase wasin the Court of Criminal Correction for three months, and then went to the Criminal Court, and has been several times published in the papers, yet it appears that street Commissioner Mur- phy never heard of it until Bowlin himself called on Monday last to make complaint be- fore him. It seems the case against Lang was called in the Criminal Court only a day or two ago, and Lang fallin to appear his bond was declare forfeited. Thenameof his companion was given as Horn, but Mr. Bowlin makes the charge that tt was David Hogan. Maj. Mur- phy was yesterday asked as to his retention of Hogan in the employ of the Street Depart- ment ‘*‘] knew nothing of the charge against him,’’ said the Street Commissioner, ‘‘until last Monday. Then this man Bowlin ap- peared here and told me of it. Lat once gave orders that Hogan should come to my office and face the charge. But the next day I had to #o to Chicago, and so I have done nothing about the matter yet.’’ Here the Street Commissioner tapped his bell, and when the office- boy appeared, said: ‘*Have David Hogan appear before me at the very earliest moment.’’ ‘‘Ifyoufind that he is guilty, or stands charged with burglary, what will you do, Maj. Murphy?’’ the PosT-DISPATCH reporter asked. ‘‘Oh. I shall discharge him at once,’’ said the Street Commissioner. ‘*Politics makes strange bedfellows, they say, Qut we will have to draw the line at Durglary.’’ And it may be that the line will be drawn, after what looks like two years of strange official blindness to its necessity. — It simply says: me.’’ According to sum.

Y., Dec. 3.—An Iirat e father horrified mother, an indignant sister, and two young women who had become tired of the prosy life they had been living in this city, and who wentto Buffalo on alarkasa bridal couple, are the interested parties ina curious story which has become public inthis city. Amelia Eickert, the 18-year-old daughter of Charles Eickert, a well-to-do contractor, living at 29 Buchan Park, and Margaret Kelly, aged 19, of Ashland street, were chums. In August last they de- cided to see a little of the world. Several plans were suggested, but were abandoned, until Miss Eickert hit upona scheme both feasible and romantic. Standing side by side before a miror it was decided that Miss Kelly was ofa more masculine contour than Miss Eickert, who had light hair and dell- cate features, and sothe former was chosen to play the part of the newly married man and the latter was to play the part of the bride. Money was the next con- sideration. Miss Eickert came to the rescue with $50 which she had saved, and Miss Kelly ‘*borrowed’’ $40 from her mother without her consent. Miss kelly then went to Guggenheim’s hair parlors and had her long tresses cut off, and when she came out her head was dressed in a mascu- line style, short in the back andala pompa- dour ontop. With the money which she had surreptitiously obtained she boughta natty suit of boy’s clothes, derby bat and lace shoes. Early in the evening they left their respec- tive homes and metata rendezvous, where Miss Kelly donned the boy’s suit and placed her discarded wardrobe in a satchel. The couple then went tothe Central Hudson Sta- tion and took aé train (“for Buffalo. In that city they took up quarters ata Mrs. Tuney’s on Oak street,where it was sup posed they were the manand wife which they rep- resented themselves tobe. They stayed there three weeks, attending the theaters together, drivingand having a jolly good time until their funds ran out. Then they returned home. Ofcourse the folks Were more than thankful to receive their daughters back home, for neither had written while away onthe lark. It was not until Mr. Kickert dis- covered that his daughter had spentthe $50 that he started onthe warpath. He accused Miss Kelly of enticing his daughter away and of being the cause of her. spending the $50 and wanted her to répay themoney. Miss Kelly refused. Then Mrs. Eickert and an older daughter paid a visit to the Kellys and made a great fuss, declaring that they thought that Miss Kelly was aboyand de- manded that he marry Amelia in order to save her reputation, They also said that as they had registered as man and wife they were married in the eyes of thelaw. Mrs. Kelly laughed at this suggestion, and said that sbe ought 52 Mrs. Eickert - ‘* to know whether her child } hera picture of Miss Kelly dressed as a boy and that she was convinced that she was a boy. She became wrought up to such a pitch when Miss Kelly ridiculed the proposition of marriage that she said she would gotothe courts and compel the couple to get married. Sincs then Miss Kelly has received several threatening letters from Mr. Eickert who de- manded if she did not pay the $50, his daughter had spent he would bring an ac- tion for the amount. One of these letters read as follows: Miss Kelly: Seeing that you did not pay much _§ at- tention to the bill which Isent yousome time ago. I hereby asked you once more to settle as soon as possible, or do youtbink thatI am obliged to pay for yourciothes and shoes which you're wearing? If you do you are much mistaken. As much as have found out about you, you have been in prison once before, and if you don’t agree to my proposal which 1 made to you in the last letter yeu will svon see yourself in the saine place again; or do you think vou Can scare Ine by writing impudent letters like your last one? No, lam going to follow you and this case up as much as I possibly can. I therefore ask you for the last time if you are willing to pay ornot. Re- member it is for your own good, and I will show you now the coat and pants will fit you. CHARLES EICKERT, 20 Buchan Park. On the receipt of this letter Miss Kelly promptly wenttoa lawyer and stated her case, and Mr. xckert was made ac‘juainted with the mistake he had made. He was more than ready toapologize, but failed to put in an appearance when it was arranged to have the affair settled in the lawyer’s office, although both giris were present and chatted over their escapade quite gaily. When interviewed to-day Miss Kelly talked freely of the escapade, and _ said _ that they more than enjoyed themselves. She showed the reporter a photograph which they had taken in Buffalo, and it is no won- der that Mrs. Eickert thought that she wasa young man. She was very indignant at that portion of Mr. Eickert’s letter referring to her having been in prison, and branded it as a falsehood. Producing a long braid of hair which she had cutoff she remarked rather sadly: ‘*The only thing I’m sorry about is this. I was foolish in having it cut, for it will never grow as long as that again,’’ Her Daughter Slandered. Mrs. W. Burgess of 4120 Prairie avenue called at the Four Courts yesterday after- noon to get outa warrant against one of her neighbors, whoshe charges has slandered her l16-year-old daughter. Mrs. Burgess said that she and the neighbor in question owned property adjoining, and had had some trouble some time ago, in con- sequence of a difficulty between the children. This is the only reason she could assign for the alleged slander against her daughter. The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office was closed for the day and she said she would callagain. She did not state the nature Or the slander further than that an objectionable letter had been written. Inquests Held Yesterday. At the inguest yesterday afternoon on James W.

COMMISSIONER BRENNAN SUDDENLY IN- DORSES THE DISMISSED OFFICIAL, The City Counselor Refuses to Surrender the Papers in the Mandamus Suit to Counssl Leverett Bsll—An Nevertheless— Charity Indignant. Special Answer Filed, Commissioners Mr. Leverett Bell as attorney for City Au- ditor Brown fileda return yesterday after- noon to the alternative writ of mandamus sued out against him by Joseph Gallagher, Superintendent of the Poor-house, to compel a paymentof his salary for the months of August, October and November last. The return states that the accounts for Gallagher’s salary subsequent to the 22d day of August, 1892, have not been approved by the Health Commissioner as required by sec. 4590f an ordinance approved April 12, 1887, and that the Auditor was therefore for- bidden under the city charter from auditing these accounts or any part thereof. It further states that the Commissioners on Charitable Institutions, under power and authority conferred onthem by the charter ofthe city, voted unanimously to remove Gallagher from the position of Superinten- dent of the Poor-house and so notified the Mayor ofthe city of their action on Aug. 22, last, and that by virtue of such removal he isnot entitled toany salary from and after that date. The caseisset for a hearing in court room No, 3 to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. CAME TO GALLAGHER’S RESCUE, Mr. Bell’s answer to Supt. Gallagher’s petition will probably resultin more confua- sionamong city officials. When the Super- intendent was first removed by the Board of Charity Commissioners, Health Commissioner Willlam H. Brennan struck his name off the pay-roll ofthe Health Department, stating that he would not cer- tify his pay account till the courts decided in his favor. When Supt. Gallaghér went Into court last month and applied for @n order eompelling Auditor Brown to pay him his salary, the papers were served on the Audi- tor. The Charity Commissioners heard of it andthe same day Commissioner James OC. Jones called on the Auditor and told him the board would furnish him special counsel; as it was not to be expected that City Counselor Wm. C. Marshal), having already given an opinion that the commis sioners were wrong in removing the Superintendent, would be willing to go into court and take the other side of the question. Auditor Brown said he thought the City Counselor could) manage the case without help, and went over to his office to give him a hint. ‘*Here are the mandamus papers that have been served on me,’’ said he. ‘‘I presume you understand that a mandamus can’t be made to lie against me in this matter?’ ‘“‘Why no; how’s that?’’ asked the City COT aont get Mr. Gallagher’s pay account at sé , r. all. Hisname is not on the roll when it tome from the Health De he got the pay roll from the Health Depart- ment, he found, to his surprise, Supt. Gal- lagher’s name there, as an officer ent! tled to his salary for that month. ‘*‘Hum!’’ exclaimed the auditor, through his white mustache, and in some perplexity he sent word to the Charity Commissioners of his new dilemma. Commissioner Jones went to see him and Auditor Brown asked for the appointment of Ex-City Counsellor Leverett Bell as a special attorney to help him a dim suspicion that City Counselor Marshall had betrayed him dawning on his gulleless mind. Mr. Bell went upto see him, and the eo Can together on City Counselor Mar- shall. , **] should like to have those mandamus pa- pers,’’ sald Auditor Brown. ‘*What for?’’ replied the City Counselor. ‘*Well,’’ said the artless auditor, {who hates to hurt anybody’s feelings, ‘‘we have thought it best, in order to relieve you from embarrassment, you Know, to letsuMr. Bell make the answer to that mandamus.’’ **Oh, don’t you worry about me,’’ an- swered the City Counselor, cordially, and the side whiskérs which have never been photographed trembled with genuine amuse- went, ‘‘il won’t be embarrassed a bit, and I don’t want any help in getting up the an- swertothat petition. I’m the City Coun- selor and [’ll makethat answer myself.’’ MR. JONES ON COUNSELOR MARSHALL. Ex-City Counselor Bell took himself out of the office with long strides, and the worried Auditor trotted after him. Mr. Bell told the Auditor in a few reassuring words that he would attend to the case, and went down to his office. The answer he filed in court yesterday indicates that he will ig- nore Commissioner Brennan’s last attempt to place the responsibility of the refusal to pay Supt. Gallagher on Auditor Brown, and rest the case on the several pay-rolls made out before that without the Superintendent’s name on them. Members of the Board of Charity Commis - sioners who’were seen yesterday commented very vigorously upon the attitude of Counselor Marshali and Commissioner Brennan, and intimated that the two intended to keep Supt. Gallagher in office if they could. Commissioner Jones, who has been most activeinthe investigation of the public institutions which led to the dis- a of Supt. Gallagher, was asked yester- ay: Were you instrumental in securing Mr. Bell’s services?’’ ‘‘I was. My desire wasto have the ques- tion thoroughly tested and finally deter- mined. Icare not how it results Dut, lam anxious that the courts should carefully consider the law before declaring, as Mr. Marshall has, that the charity commissioners must first accuse and then pass judgment on their accusations.’’ Auditor Brown coule not be found, but his nephew, Brown, said: ‘‘Uncle just went and asked Mr. Marshall for the papers, and when he ann he couldn’t get tuem, he didn’t in- sist.’ The Pumpkin Pye.

Some pictures which belonged to Diss de Bar have been at police head- quarters ever since she left New York. The corporation counsel has written to John D, Townsend, who was her lawyer, inquiring what disposition should be made of them, When Diss de Bar disappeared she left @ power! of attorney with Mr. Townsend, Hearing that Vera P.

Miss Ava said in her letter that she could not send the power of attorney because she is not Diss de Bar. She as- serts that she its an English subject and in no way connected with the spook priestess. But Miss Avajthas found for here selfa new mission. She writes that she in- tends to find Diss de Bar, and when people see that there are two of them they won’t ine sist that the two are one. **‘It has become a passion with me to find Diss de Bar,’’ she are, ‘*the woman who so — closely resembles me that I barely esca confinement in a lunatic asylum in Cinci pending my absolute identification ag era P.

ES e Description of the Route—A Gigantic Task fi Undertaken by the Canal Company— The Greatest System cf Locks in the World—Interesting Report on Earth- quakes—How Harbors Will Be Made. NEw ORLEans, La., Dec. 8.—The convention | that bas just finished its work inthis city _ has greatly encouraged those interested tn the construction of the Nicaragua Canal, which has already been commenced, will be pushed for. ward with all possible dispatch. The Gelegates discussed fully all the details of the route, and there were few, if any. who expressed any doubt asto its practicability. The question of possible damage by earth- quakes, one of the main reasons given by the French engineers for preferring the Panama route, was.carefully considered, expert opinions were obtained, and it is the almost universal belief that nothing is to be apprehended from this cause. In all re- spects the convention was most successful. At the coming session of Congress the pro- moters ofthe Nicaragua Canal will make a strenuous endeavor to enlist the aid of the federal government in this enterprise. The two recent conventions in behalf of the project, one held in St. Louls and the other, which has just adjourned at New Orleans, have given the men engaged in the work of completing this international waterway great hope of ultimate success. At New Or- jeans a committee was appointed to bring the question to the attention of Congress. The matter willundoubtedly be referred to by the President in his message, and there Is a prospect that the measure now penda- ing in the Senate guaranteeing Govern- ment ald will be taken up and passed. Lake Nicaragua, known also as the Lake of Granada, is the largest body of fresh water between Lake Michigan and Lake Tit!- caca. It is 110 miles long and 4 milesin width. According to recent soundings it has a depth at some points of 240 feet. In most rts its margins are shoal, but occasionally here is deep water along the _ shore. Its outlet,the River San Juan, draining a ‘watershed of some 8,000 sqnare lles, Which hes an average annual rainfall of at least 80 inches, is a stream of laryve volume andin its upper reaches without fiats or shoals. Itisi2i miles long, and from 100 to 400 yards broad, and inthe upper half of its course has a depth of from 10 to 20 feet, but Is interrupted by several rapids, wich inter- fere withits navigation, These Tapids are traversed at all times by the canoes or ‘‘bun- ’’ of the natives,and during the rainy season all, except the Castillo Rapids, are passed by steamers of light draft with “a. or moderate power. he harbors of Nicaragua are San Juan del | the lake, a distance of 121 miles, is the lake Norte (popularly known as Greytown) on the Atiantic, and the Bay of Salinas, Port of Corintoand Guifof Fonseca on the Pacific. More than a quarter ofacentury ago the har- bor of San Juan del Norte, which before that was easy of access, well protected and the principal port of Central America, witha depth of 24 feet of water in both channtiel and harbor, was closed entirely by a sandbar which formed across its entrance, and for ears it was merely a fresh water avoon, accessible only by lighters and through a narrow ana daifficuit en- | free | reaching across the lo of the coast to the first lock, which is In tho foothills of the eastern divide. This reach will beat the sea-level and will be given a bottom width of 120 feet, surface width of 283 fect, and depth of 28 feet. The cross-section of the waterway contains 5,712 square feet, against 3,700 square feet at Suez. This reach becomes practically an ex- tension of the barbor, for its width is suffi- cient to allow a continuous line of the largest ships to be tied up onone side and ample space loft for the passage of others. The formation, as shown by the borings, is en- tirely alluvial, and will De excavated by ma- chinery throughout. In this there are to be throe locks, tho first with a lift of 31 feet, the second witha lift of 80 feet and the third with a lift of 45 feet. THE SAN FRANCISEO DIVISION. This extends from the divide to Ochoa, 12!% Milles. Nearthecrestof the dividing ridge rise two little streams, the Deseado and Limpio. The valley of the former a few miles below its sourse is appropriated by the canal on the east, just as is the vaijley_ of the latter on the west. ,0th enetrate deeply into the dividing mass, and yy utilizing the stream beds, wrought by erosion, the magnitude of the work of uniting their drainage channels is greatly reduced. For three-quarters of a mile, after leaving the end of the ‘‘Divide’’ excavation, the bed of the Limpio must be deepened to an aver- age of i6feectin order to gain the requisite depth for navigation. “Also rising in the dividing ridge a mile or sotothe north, and flowing west, is another brook, the Chanchos; thisis joined by the Limpto in a valley of considerable width, the combined streams bearing the name of tho former, falling into the San Francisco a little fartheron. The San Francisco isa tributary of the San Juan, into which it flows three and one-half milesto the south. The lower course of this riveris through alow and Swampy tract of smallelevat®n. Just above the junction of the Chanchos and San Fran- cisco, in the angle between the two valleys, are some iow hilis. The canal line descending the Chanchos diverges from the stream and passes north of these hills through a low pass into the valley of the San Francisco prover. This it traverses for some twoanda half miles, crosses another low ridge to the Florida Lagoon, drained by the Danta, the latter being also a San Jtian tributary. Traversing another succession of low ridwes and valleys for two anda half miles the canal will enter the Machado val- ley, a few hundred yards above its junction with the San Juan, and here is to be the Ochoa dam. This work, 1,909 feet long and 70 feet max!i- mum height, is to raise the waters of the San Juan 56 Teet to the lake level. Until engineers had satisfiea themselves that the level of the lake could be extended to this point and maintained, if necessary, all the way across the-.San Francisco basin,the Nicaragua Canal problemcould not be considered as solved satisfactorily. The distance from the divide cut to Ochoa is 124e miles, of which 742 mfles of the line are tangents, and the remainder consists of curves, haviag a minimum radius of 4,000 feet. The hills bounding the line on the south do not form an unbroken range. Several gaps exist,and these must be closed by embankments aggregating a length of 3,440 feet, measured on the floor line, and 12,600 feet on the crest. The maximum height of these works taken at the proposed water levelis 6)feet. Besides, 59 other minor embankments will be required withanagegre- gate lengthon crest line of 16,770 feet, for — surfaces donot always risetothe canal evel. Of the total lengthof the San Francisco Dasin 8% miles will bein fooded valleys of many times the width required, and from 30 to Wfeet deep. Of the remainder 2!4e¢ miles | will be partly and 1% miles wholly in excava- tion, the inaterial clay. THE WESTERN TERMINUS. From the Ochoa dam tothe west shore of and river division. The Ochoa dam Is to hold river permanently at the height of 106 feet above the sea. The lake level is to be 110 feet.

Rock biasting and dredging above Toro to the lake will be required toOsman average depth of 4l feet in several localities, in ail for twenty- four miles. Whentheriver channel Is deep- ened it will have a bottom width of 125 feet and a top width from 50) to 1,500 feet. Dredging in Lake Nicaragua to an average depth of ten feet in soft mud, bottom width 150 feet, will be necessary for fourteen miles from the shore to secure a navigable channel of thirty feet to deep water. The western division extends from lake to Pacific 17.04 miles. Ofthis distance 1l'* miles will bein exca.- vation and 542 miles in the Tola basin. The excavation portion joining the lake tothe basin is 9 miles long, andthe deepest exca- vation plerces the continental divide bya cut through the ridge, which is here 43 feet above the canal level and 153 feet above the ocean meantide. For a distance of about 5 miles through the deepest cutting, princil- ally rock, a bottom width of canal of 80 feet s proposed. The approach to this section from the lake, l'e miles long, will havea bottom width of 120 feet and top width of 210 feet. The locks are the longest hitherto bullt; in fact there is but one In existence comparable —that is at St. Mary’s Falls, connecting Lakes Superiorand Huron. This is 515 feet long and 80 feet wide, and when the chamber is incommunication with the upper reach the water Is 89 feet deep. The rate of $2.50 per ton has been assumed as the probable canal toll in connection with all recent projects for transit across the American Isthmus. At this rate it is esti- mated that a saving of 2,300 miles ina voyage of 13,000 miles will be more than a sufficient 4A 7; “ ot Nth - ~ ~~ » : - The Dredges City of Paris and Ma Haven Working on the Eastern End of Canal.

The defenselessness of our Pa- cific Coast excites alarm. Separated by mountain barriers and long distances from the main body ofthe American people, our Western frontier is peculiarly exposed to at- tack. Foreign warships, anticipating a re- sort to arms, could sail into Pacific waters, and after the outbreak of hostilities, and long before the possible arrival of our own fleet, ravage a coast po to repel their assaults. The guns of European men-of-war could tn a few hours effect the destruction,or compel the ransom, of values far ureater than the cost of the Nicaragua Canal, At present, the shortest dis- tance by sea betwee! San Francisco and New York is five time the width of the Atlantic Ocean. The duration of so long a voyage would preclude prompt assistance or rapid concentration. ii Ye 8 THT hue LIM Rigi *. ete tt, BS A meet ee a wah nt ok } re Hospital Buildings. - ing earthquakes in the same locality. In many voicanic countries there are a few spots where such catastrophies repeat themselves. though usually after very long intervalsof years. These are known and can be shunned by the engineer and architect, if need be, Apert from these, all localities withinan earth- quake country sufficiently removed from the known centres oraxis may be regarded as being in far less peril from earthquakes than from sweeping destruction by an uncopntroll- abie fire. ‘*The risk of serious injury by earthquakes to the constructions proposed for the Pacific section of the canal issosmall that it ought to be neglected alike by the Maritime Canal Co,, the Construction Co.,and by conteu® plating investors;also thatthe risks tothe Atlantic section are still smaller than those to the Pacific section.’’ The following estimate of cost has been made: Cost of Eastern division San Francisco division ...........« «+... oe Lake and river division 6,623,663 W estern division 20,231,289 Surveys, hospitals, contingencies, etc, 6,259, Further allowance 14,033,262 $ 87,799,570 for interest during $ 34,649,805 5,411,561 To these figures add construction , ** 14,750,000 It is expected that the canal will be opened in 1897, —_—_ — — PROF. WATERHOUSE’S ADDRESS. He Urges the Guarantee of the Nicaragua Co.’s Bonds by the Government. The following address was delivered before the Nicaragua Convention in New Orleans on Friday by Prof. 8. Waterhouse of Wash- which modern inflict. from a blow is better than _§re- covery from a wound, The Nicaragua canal would enable American men-of-war to render their most effective service in pro- tecting the coasts of the United States. This enterprise would derive important In- cidental advantages from the support of the GoverDMent. With its indorsement the bonds of the compony would sell at par ora pre- mium, the work would be completed in the shortest time and at the least cost, and low tolls would encourage the interchange of commerce. Butthe refusalof the Govern- ment’s sanction would subject the anemnean to grave embarrassments. Capital is bot timit andastute, It shrinks from risks and seeks the best bargains. Possibly the bonds might not bring more than 50 cents On the dollar. Then the expense of the canal would be doubled, the construction would be de- layed by the want of funds, and the profits on invested capital would be reduc by high rates Of transit. Even then, after all this unnecessary outlay, if any foreign power should infringe the rights of the company, an indignant public sentiment would compel the Government to defend them, This vin- dication might costalarge expenditure of blood and money. It would be better for our national legislature to save this fourfold and unneeded expense by assuming at the outset the responsibilities which proper- ly belong to the Government, If England can afford to bulld a canal thirty-five miles long, at a cost of $60,000,000, for the sole pur- pose of making Manchester @ port of entry; and if Germany ts willingtogspend an equal sum for the sake of saving its navy @ voyage of only 700 miles, assuredly the Government of the richest people on the globe ought not, when not a dollar is solicited, to refuse its sanction toan undertaking that will save distances vastly ter and romote interests incomparably more momentous.

The commodities of our PacifiC States are already enormous, A few familiar facts will illustrate thelr magni tude. California alone now produces 4,000,000 gallons of wine and 230,000,000 pounds of fruit, ihe annual commerce of San _ “Fran- cisco is $250,000,000. The North Pa- cific coast yields 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, 65,000,000 pounds of wool, and 165,000,000 poundsof salmon. The total lumber product ofthis regionis estimated at 1,000,000,000,000 feet, Such a magnitude is too vast forthe imagination to grasp. The disappearance of the forests of the Northeastern and North- central States is creating a larger demand forthislumber. The rise in the value of this one product would, if there werea cheap outlet tothe markets of the world, amount to more than the cost of the Nicaragua Canal. The plenteous barvests which the fertile flelds of the l’acific States yield far ex- ceed the wants of their sparse population. A much larger portion of their staples would be exported, if the profits were not con- sumed by high rates of transportation. If the Nicaragua Canal were buiit, the great bulk of their products would be sent to mar- ket by the cheaper Isthmian route. The do- mestic commerce of the United States is now more than $%2,000,000,000, and above three- quarters of this vast business is carried on by rail. As shipments by sea cost only from one-fifth to one-ninthas muchas transpor- tation by land, it is certain that the bulky commodities of the trade between the Eastern and Pacific States would be carried to their destinations by water. An economy in carriage would divert heavy freights from rail to canal. It its highly robable that enough of our domestic and oreign commerce would avail itself of the cheaper transit torenderthe canala paying investment from the day ofits opening. before making investments capitalists con- template the future as well as the present. Their forecasts of coming development are not the idle reveries of unpractical theorists, but the sagacious calculations of business men. All our transcontl- nental railroads were built in advance of ex- isting needs. They were intended to create the traffic which they were to bear, and oreney have they fulfilled their mission, The matchiess prosperity ofthe United States is largely due to the enterprise which antici- pated future wants. The nations whose commerce traverses the Isthmus of Suez have reached their maturity. Their present growth in population and wealth Is rela- tively siow. No greater demands of rap- idiy increasing numbers and no larger supplies of newly developed resources will expand the exchanges of the Suez Canal. But American conditions are widely different. In North America the num- ber of inhabitants to the square mile Is less than one-seventh of the European average, and there are vast areas rich in undeveloped resources. By native and foreign accessicns the population of the United States is grow- ing with unprecedented rapidity. Soon our 62,000,000 will have increased to 100,000,000. The inventive sxenius of our country- men in subduing to their service the mighty forces of nature and thelr ingenuity in devising machines that seem instinct with intelligent skill are multiplying the conveniences of civilization and the products of commerce. The south Pacific states will soon feel the impulses of their public improvements. Frane-Anaenn railroad will date an era of greater commerciai prosperity. Railroads are the pioneers of progress. They are now entering the jealously isolated empires of Japan, China and Eastern Russia. If they penetrate into the interior, and diverge throughout these realms, they will quicken the lethargy of ages and open illimitable markets to foreign trade. In the United States, the indl- vidual consumption of merchantabie goods istentimes as much agit is in the far East. The creation of civilized wants among the populations ofthe Orient will cause a large demand for American manufactures. Even now ourcountry produces many commodl. ties in excess ofits own requirements. The surplus can finda profitable sale only in for- 4 eign markets. inthe near future, American enterprise will have to explore the whole earthin quest of markets for its merchan- dise. In the coming time, the greater wants and products of a denser population, the development of the resources of our Rocky Mountain and Pacific states, larger dealings with the peoples of South America and the Orient, that growth of new indus- tries and those unimagined exchanges which cheaper faciiities for international inter- course always create will causea vast flood of commerce to pourthrough the Nicaragua Canal, Probabilities that border upon cer- tainties are entitled tothe consideration of practicalmen. Capitalists who ignore the commercial expansion of the twentieth cen- tury disregard some of the strongest reasons for an investment in the Nicaragua Canal. For a waterway so essential to the com- merce ofthe world, nature seems to have made special provision. Her repentance for not having bisected the Western Hemisphere into islandsis shown by an apparent effort to rectify the mistake. An _ inter-oceanic canal within the limits of the United States is obviously impossible, It istherefore for- tunate for this country that the nearest route is incomparably the best. Its rare combina- tion of advantages preciuded any hesitancy in selection. If the massive ranges which stretch from one end of the western hem- isphere to the other had maintained their average height through Central America, a canal would be impossible. But at the very point where it is most needed there occurs the lowest depression which isto be found throughout the whole extent of these mount- ain barriers. Inthe heart of the pass there is a lake with an area of 2,600 square miles. As there is no other large inland body of water within thousands of miles the occurence ofa lake In this exact spot is an unexpected- ly fortunate circumstance. It is indispen- sable tothe canal. Without itthe buliders would haveto encounter such obstacles as baffled the French engineersat Panama, As in the case of the Chagres, the unrestrained torrents whichan annual rainfall of eighty inches causes would destroy the works. But the storage of mountain floods in a vast reser- voir would prevent the injury whicha sudden outflow might inflict. The distance of Lake Nicaragua fromthe Western coastis seven- teen miles. If its waters emptied into the Pacific OUceanand if there were no natural channel tothe Atlantic seaboard, the canal could not be built, for the cost of the long ex- cavation onthe Eastern side would prevent any gnc of profit. There is also a naval advantage in the nearness of Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific shore. In a few hours after its de- parture from this station, our fleet conid be hastening over Pacific waters to the de- fense of oer lees protected coast. In war, an economy of minutes is sometimes of the —= moment, The San Juan, whichis the sole outlet of Lake Nicaragua, has no large tributaries. If the Lake had several mouths, or the river nad many affiuents, ar there were great ine- qualities in the bed of the stream, the cost of numerous dams apd locks would be a grave objection to this route. But’ no cause for such an objection exists. Allthe physi- cal conditions are favorable. Near the ends of the canal, there are mountain spurs, where dams can be built that will raise the waters of river, iake and basins toa common level for the distance of 154 miles. This is more than nine-tenths of the whole extent of the canal. Of a total length of i7v miles there are less than twenty-seven miles of ex- cavation, With the exception of some mass- ive embankments and heavy rock cuts the work of construction is surprisingly light. Unlike the Suez Canal, the banks of the Nicaragua shipway will be mostly high and firm and its channel sv broad that vessels can sail at full speed and pass each other wherever they may happen to meet. Unlike the Panama waterway, the Nicaragua Canal will havea regular supply of ten times as much water as its service re- quires, The eastern locks will be more than twelve miles from the Atlantic. Their dis- tance from the ocean will protect them from the guns of a hostile fleet. No shot from men-of-war at Greytown could injure these costly works, At Panama, there are no trade winds. If the French canal had been completed, sailing vessels could have reached its entrance only by the ald of tug boats. So greatan incon: venience would have seriously impaired the usefulness of the canal. But at Greytown, the trade winds bicow constantly with a velocity of fifteen or er enty mene an hour They not only facilitate the approach of sail-bearing ships, but, sweepin the Nicaragua Pass, they purify the air im prove the healthfulness of the climate.

The Balize is more than seven hundred miles nearer Greytown than New York is. The failure of New Orleans and the Missis- sippi Valley to avail themselves of s0 great an opportunity for the promotion of their commercial interests would evince a culpable want of enterprise. The convenience of the world’s commerce demands a shipway across Central America. The superiority of the Nicaragua route and the golden rewards that await the builders of the canal will not permit a long postpone- ment of its construction. If Americans de- cline to bulla the watercourse, some European nation will sure- ly seize the opportunity which our countrymen neglect. But a foreign possession of this waterway would be fraught with grave danger to this country. Not lone or patiently would the United States endure so imminent a peril. The necessities of public safety would compel Americans to acquire by forceof arms—if otherwise unattainable—a mastery of this shipway. It would be far better for the United States Government to promptly ac- cept the generous eoncessions which the sister republic of Nicaragua has proffered and avoid an unnecessary effusion of blood and treasure. The construction of the Nicaragua canal will effecta commercial revolution. No where else on the face of the earth is there a possi- bility of any public work that willso greatly change the channels of trade.

Repairs Done in Best Manner. a walk. Road engineers, therefore, have come to the conclusion that the staple or standard foundation for roads must consist of broken stone, the angular faces of the fragments so driven together that they will cling unmoved under any pressure which vehicles will bring upon them. The ideal surface for the wheel is that which is obtained in a continuous steel bar of a well-constructed railway. Theaim inthe common road isas nearly as possible to ap- proach the conditionswhich are afforded by suchatrack. Every irregularity of the sur- face on which the wheel bears, whether it be on the axle or the tire, is an element of cost, and is invariably found inthe bill for re- pairs, whether it comeon townor private account. A pebble in the road over which the wagon has to be lifted requires an expenditure of power in raction to win the height, and when the wheel falls & strikes the roadway like a trip- hammer, damaging road and wagon alike. In the present orany probable state of our road-making art, it appears to be impossible to give wagons the conditions of a metal tramway. This ideal has to be approached in the best manner possible by making the tracks of some strong material found near the line of the road. The nature of the trafic which is to go overa highway is an important element in determinine both the width and character of the construction. The main pointto be& ascertained is the number, :weight and width of the carriages of all kinds which are to traverse the way. If the traffic is likely to be large, the road will need greater width and more strength near its margins than where it is to serve the need of but few vehicles. The _ solitary driver may be trusted to take the middle Of the way; horses, indeed, incline to do so of their own motion, thus the marginal wearing of the road will be limited to those points where vehicles pass each other, and the whole amount of such wearing will be incon’ siderable. Where, however, the carriages are numerous, they often drive in parallel lines, the outer wheel of each column on the margin of the road-bed, A large part ofthe trouble with American roads arises fromthe absurd narrowness of the tire or bearing part of our waygon wheels. It was probably from considerations of econ- omy, in the days when jrgn was high priced, that the American people, as if by common consent, adopted excessively narrow tires. lf this unhappy fashion was due to this mo- tive it was certainly ‘‘penny wise and pound foolish.’’ But there is so much yet to be learned in the artof making good country roads that the science in this country may be said to be in its infancy. There are not one hundred first-class road- engineers in the United States, and now that the subject is being so extensively agitated, itis hoped that the leading schools and col- leges throughout the country will take a hand in this most important branch of civil engineering. Strennous efforts are being made to havea department set aside at the coming World’s Fair for the exhibition of samples cr the best country roadways. Tothis end an open letter has been ad- dressed by Col. Hebert A. Pope of Boston to the people at large and acopy of it sent to all the colleges or note and distinction In the country. One or two Eastern colleges have already established branches inthe engineering department for the especial study of road-making and In the course of a few years the good work startea by the cyclers’ clamor for better roads will be seen to have been productive of marvelous results, CASE of twelve half-gallon bottles of Wind. sor Spring Water delivered for seventy-five cents.

Infact it is becoming as populous of clubs as it is of churches. Among them there is none more progressive and united than the Irving Club, which was formed Overa year ago by several young men connected with the Tompkins Avenue Con- gregatioral Church, of which Rev. Mr. Mere- dith is pastor. It was suggested by Dr. Mere- dithin the spring of 1891, and was formed in May of that year with fifty charter members. Mr. Howard O. Wood was chosen as Presi- dent. Funds were raised among the charter members, and Dr. Meredith and some ofthe leading parishioners of the church helped the young men in their endeavors. A large room in one part of the building attached to the church was furnished, and the club lo- cated there until May of this year, when in- creased membership compelled it to seek more roomy quarters. The committee leased the present premises on the south side of Fulton street, between Nostrand and Marcy avenues. The grounds are 200x100 feet, and the house is a well-built square frame structure, surrounded by shrubbery and flower-beds. On the east side of the house ts a fine tennis court laid out for the use of the members. The object of the Irving Club, as expressed in the constitution, is the*‘moral,social, Intellectual and physical development ofits members and such other young men as may come within the reach of its influence.’’ Ofcourse the idea isto offer pleasant and suitable entertainment toyoung men which will Keep them away from cor- rupt associations and bad companions.

BERLIN, Dec. 8.—Events in the Reichstag @nd party movements, which are less seen Dy the public, alltend to strengthen Chan- @ellor Von Caprivi'’s position and seem to @ssure the passage of the army bill. The Preisinnige and Bismarckian papers pretend to believe that the Chancellor’s position Is untenable. Every day the opposition produces a fresh rumor as to who Riis successor will be. The iatest nominee of the anti-Caprivi faction was ex- Minister Yon Puttkamer, who was named Decause the opposition could associate him with a current rumorthat Emperor William intended to return to a strong reactionist policy ifthe army bill should be defeated. The Emperor felt the report to be offensive and caused an official denial of it to be made in the Reichanziger, which last night stated that Herr Von Puttkamer has not for some time even been Treceived by His Majesty. The fact is that the Chancellor’s position ~ has become strengthened by the open adhesion of some ofthe party leadersand the private adhe- sion of others. Dr. Buhl, a National Liberal, has won the Chancellor’s thanks by promis- ing that his party will supportall the army Gemands necessary for the safety of the Empire. The Reichstag took Dr. Buhil’s statement as committing the National Liberals to the support of the army bill. Next, Herr Koscielski, in the name of the Polish group, announced that they would vote to grant anything so far as the nancial depression permitted that woulda contribute to unite and strengthen Germany. With regard to the Centre party, it is no longer a secret that a majority of the mem- bers of the group representing the Vatican pro-French policy are treating the clerical attempts to influence the party to defeat the Government scheme of army organization aea hostile intrigue against German unity. Somarked is the feeling of many Centrists against the interference of the Vatican which is attributed to the Pope’s hostility to the triple alliance that certain Catholic Bishops advised Cardinal Rampolla, Papal Secretary of State, that revolt of the party G@gainst clerical lead was imminent if the interference was persisted in. The Vatican has consequently assented to leaving the Centre party tofollow whatever course it pleases. This impliesa temporary splitinthe party. Thirty-four of the Southern members of the Centre will vote with the opposition and the seventy-six others with the Government. Thus reinforced the defeat of the bill seems impossible. The bill will not go tothe com- mittee stage until after New Year’s day. The Emperor’s biliagainst immorality and the immigration measure Will be taken up by the Reichstag when the discussion in the Budget ig ended. The chief features of the army Dill are clearly set forth in the preamble. ce force, inciuding corporals and privates, but excluding commissioned offi- ers and non-commissioned officers above erank of corporal, will consist of 492,068 men, between Oct. 1, 1898, and March 81, 1899. The ee of the various branches of the service during the period in question will be as follows: 711 battalions of infantry, 477 squadrons of cavairy, 494 batteries of field artillery, 37 battalion of foot artillery, 24 bat- talions of the transport. The increase is revealed by comparison of the above figures w:th those of the law of 1890: 688 battalions of infantry, 45 squadrons of cavairy, 484 batteries of field artillery, 41 bat- talions of foot artillery, 20 battalions of pio- neer and 21 battalions of the transport. The average strength of the standing army is calculated in accordance with the princi ple of two years’ active service with the col- ors forthe infantry. The increase involves the expenaiture of 66,800,000 marks in a lump sum. Of this amount 61,000,000 marks will ap- in the wadiget for the financial year 1893- . The annually recurring expenditure will 64,000,000 marks. When the new system slall have been fally developed Germany will bave in times of war a trained army of 4,400,000 men. France, whohas already reached the ex- treme limit of her resources, so far as num- bers are concerned, anu remains only a littie behind Russia in the strength of her on awar footing, will then have at her disposal 4,125,000 trained soldiers. Thus, Germany will have a surplus of 275,000 ed soldiers to counterbalance partially i aemericel weakness of her allies, Aus- tria-H ry and Italy. Many military men say that the simplest means tothe same end would be tocreatea new organization on an adequate scale, at the same time retaining the three years’ term to service. The expense necessitated by the execution of such a plan, however, would be out of all proportion to the empire's ability to sustain it, and a person jhias only to contemplate the storm of opposition raised by the present Dill to realize that the more radical reform in question would be without the slightest chance of passing the Keich- stag. In fact, the only resort of the Government was its present ogee of retaining the old mil- itary framework while training within its limits a much larger number of able-bodied men. This panpcee is attainable only by shortening the period of service. This in reak with the past, as the three years term is retained intheory.

As his glance slants through the windows of the cars it falls not only upon tiredand drowsy travelers, as would have been the case had he risen earlier and caught the trains fifty or a hundred miles further from the city, but upon groups of merry sojourners, fresh from their beds and breakfasts in the suburbs and bound for their places of business in the busy haunts of the metropolis. People who live intown areapt to regard with feelings akin to pity the men who have to travela dozen ortwenty-flye oreven fifty miles morningand night between business and home, but the persons upon whom these sympathetic sentiments are bestowed yiew the situation in anentirely different light, and in their turn look upon the man who has no recess between the front door of his house and the dingy interior of his office, as being an object of commiseration. ‘‘Why, you fellows miss the best part of your lives,’’ saida suburban commuter toa city man who had asked him why he didn’t live in town, and cease his constant railroad traveling. ‘‘You don’t belong to any Missouri PacifiC commuter’s club, you don’t hear any.of the latest gags and jokes, the charms of euchre at fifty miles an hour are unknown to you, and you never know whether your next door neighbor has elopea with his serving girl oronly deserted his family fora pretty typewriter. In short youare notinit. You don’t get time to rea your papers. As soon as you leave home you drop down into a chair at your office-desk, and as soon as you let fall your pen you pick upababy. Now, if you lived at Kirkwood or some other suburban town you would have two breathing spells each day, you would be- long to some coterie of jolly good tellows whom you would meet on the train going and coming, you would learn the difference between the left and right bowers and that you can’t win on a show-down with an ace high against a queen full.’’ The city man was taken aback. He was sur- prised to find thatthere was more than one side to the question, and he was amazed when told by asuburban man that he was not up with the times, living,as he did, right inthe heart of the city. ‘lhere was some truth in the argument that it isnot well to spend the waking and the sleeping hours too ciose together. This he feit, and as his friend had failed to enumerate any of the draw- backs attending out of city life, such as get- ting up before 6 o’clock to reach the Office at 8, and not getting home until 8-5) after leav- ing work at 6, he was somewhat pleased with the picture. What the suburbanite meant by his allu- sion to cards and newspapers was that on the trains local travelers have formed what they call clubs. There are no regularly organized clubs, but so invariably do the same men meeton the in- coming and outgoing trains that they make each other’s acquaintance and from ac- quaintanceship drop into intimacy. Then they form little parties, play cards for amusement, read newspapers, discuss local and current topics and while away the time very pleasantly together. ‘0 the journeys to town and back again, instead of being irk- some, are more in the nature of pleasure parties. The railroads encourage these pas- times, because to certain lines the suburban travel is getting to be a very profitable source of income, and the less people dislike the traveling back and forth the more they do of it. On most ofthetrainsthe porter or some other train attache keeps cards and chips, newspapers and periodicals, and 1ooKs after the regular commuters’ interest wit the care of a manager of a popular club-room. A party of Kirkwood men are deep in a game of euchr® as the cars approach the city. One point remains to be made to decide the game. Another hand is dealt, but before it can be played out the train stops at the depot. Down go the catds and away go the players. The perter gathers up the pasteboards and preserves them for future use. ‘*‘They gen’ly plays euchre most all the time,’’ a sable guardian of the spotted cards told a PosT- DISPATCH reporter. **And why euchre instead of poker?’’ ‘*‘Wwell, I dunno egactly, but I guess its cause taint no easy matter to jumpup and leave one of them nice fat Jack pots when you git to thelpoint you’es going to.

No, dey don’t play much poker, ‘cause dey don’t have time ’nough to go into gambling right.’’ Cigars are always to be had on the trains, and the card playing is usually donein the smoking compartments. Noris it impossible to get an early morning nip ora nightcap, but, of course, the railroad men know noth- ing about that. Suburban travel is constantly on the in- crease, and living out of town grows ever more popular. Atripto Kirkwood and be- yond would astonish one who had not been out that way fora year. Houses are being built, parks graded and improvements made all along the Missouri! Pacific Line, This is true along the ‘Frisco Line, and on the Iron Mountain road. So heavily loaded are the trains that there has been some complaint of lack of accommodations, but this can scarcely be helped. On the Mis- sour! Pacific there isatrain each way every hourand great difficulty has been experi- enced in forwarding them through the yards, The railroad bas recently laid an additional track from the end of the tracksof the Ter- minal road’s line on cut to beyond where the travelisso heavy and another track is now being put down. These facts tell of the growth of 8st. Louls, for though the sur- rounding towns and hamlets are not included in the city limits they are tributary and draw their life from the city. The commutation tariff_of the railroads reatly encourages people In selecting homes nthe pretty littie towns within a radius of fifty miles, and the cost of transportation thus reduced Is easily offset by the difference in rent and the price of property in city and country. Quite a number of ~»persons doing business in St. Louis’ Hve as far away as Washington on the Missouri Pacific, the distance being fifty-four miles, but the largest numberon this Une live at Kirkwood and points this side. The Kirk- wood residents.underthe commutation sys- tem pay $12 for a 100-ride ticket, which at one round trip for each week day, will carry the bolder over the road for about two months, making the expense of his travelabout %$% a month. ‘this the suburbanites consider reasonable enough. The prices for points this side of and beyond Kirkwood are of course in proportion, tut the suburban mao growls when his wife comes to the city, which she isapttowant to Go quite fre- quently. These trips are not included in his calculations and madam is generally not provided with a commutation ticket and if she lives at Kirkwood her round trip willcost her 50 cents. These trips are always more frequent than the lusband thinks necessary and they bring him to the realization of the fact that he does not live intuhecity. Should he buy his better haifa commutation ticket she might use it too often and so there he Is, In this delemmathe Kirkwood mau thinks the regular fare between St. Louis and his home is too high, and this opinion is shared by his neighbors all along the line. Now and then the commuter forgets and leaves the ticket inthe pocket of his other coat and, after fumbling through the secret receptacles of his clothes, the traveler finds he is no better off than if he were not a reg- ular customer. ‘‘You know me, Tom,’’ he says to the ticket puncher. ‘‘I’ve got a ‘commute,’ abrand néw one—showed it to ou yesterday—but I left it at home. I'll ing it to-morrow and you can punch it twice.*’ But Tom works for the railroad and his orders are strict. So the absent-minded resident of the suburbs has to go down into his clothes and produce the bard cash. This happens to the same men sooftenthat after awhile, if he finds his mind wandering from his commutation ticket to extraneous subjects he brings it back with a sudden erk, and such isthe force of habit that if you ask a suburban man across the street to ake a drink with you he won’t go until he has ascertained that he has that ‘‘commute’’ with him. Butthis isa glimpseof the un- pleasant side of suburban life. The Kirk- wood man gets used to it after awnile and even ceases to abuse conductors for not s- ing people who have left their tickets at home.

The recent scare over the apprehension that the comet might strike the earth, ren- ders extremely apropos a curious discussion which raged in astronomical circles about 175 or 200 years ago over the theory that a comet or some similar body had collided with the earth in historic times, and was actually the agency employed by the Almighty to bring about the destruction of the earth by the Noachian deluge—a theory that was countenanced by so great an authority as the Astronomer Halley, and was not regarded with disfavor by the great Newton. One of the most remarkable comets which have appeared in modern times was that which was observed by astronomers towards the end of the year 1680. By common con- sent it has been placed in the front rank of comets. This body seemed to descend from the distant regions of space with a prodigious velocity almost perpendicular to the sun, and then ascended again towards the regions whence it came. It was notable forits immense velocity, its great size, its great splendor and its very close approach to the sun. According to Sir Isaac Newton, the speed of this comet, when nearest the sun, was at the inconcelvably swift rate of 880,000 miles an hour—a velocity of which we can form no adequate conception. But S&dqulre, an English astronomer, computed its speed at perihelion to be no less than 1,240,000 miles an hour or more than 315 milesa second. At this pointinits orbit, it was, according to Sirlsaac Newton, only about 146,000 miles from the sun’s surface, when the sun, as seen fromthe comet, must have subtended anangle of more than 100 deg. and must have nearly filled its whole celestial hemi- sphere. When at its greatest splendor, t comet flung out a tail which extended over halfthe vault of heaven, or from the zenith to the horizon. Now, this great comet (in itself so interest- ing an object) was rendered still more mem- orable by the attemptof William Whiston, an English mathematician anda contempo- rary of Newton, to prove thatit wasa perl- odic comet, and that, on one of its former visits, it was the cause or the deluge of Noah. Whiston endeavored to show not only in what manneracomet might have occasioned the flood, but tried to make his explanation agree minutely withall the circumstances of that great catastrophe as related in Genesis. Whiston’sargumentran as follows: The biblical deluge happened inthe year 2349 be- fore the, Christian era, according to the gen- eraily received chronology ; or in the year 2926, after the Sa- maritan text, the septuagint, and prephus. Now what reason is there for supposing that at either of those periods a great comet ap- peared? The comet of 1680 was confessedly of ex- traordinary size and brilllancy. Then a great number of historians, native and foreign, mention a very large comet, resemDling the blaze of the sun, and having an immense train, which appeared in 1106. Going farthe back there appeared in 5381 a large and ter- rific comet, designated by Byzantine writers by the name of ‘‘Lampadius,’’ because it re- sembled a burning lamp. And thenall the world knows a comet appeared in September, in the year of the death of Cmsar, duiing the games given by the Emperor Augustus to the foman people. That comet was so Drililiant that it was visible inthe daytime, a consid- erable period before sunset. This was in the year 48 B. CU. Now we have no exact observations of either of these bodies and cannot, therefore, calculate their orbitsto enabie us to decide with certainty whether they were identical or were totally different comets, but we can compare the dates of these apparitions, and having done so we find: From 43 B. C. to 531 A. D. there were 575 years, From 531 to 1106 there were 575 years. From 1106 to 1680 there were 574 years. Since months and fractions of years have been disregarded these periods may. be re- gardedas equal to each other, and it be- comes probable enough that the comet of the death of Cesar, of 641, of 1106, and of 1680, were only the reappearances of the same body, with about 575 years as the period of its revelution around the Sun. Now going’ backward from the death of Cesar four periods of 575 years, brings ,us to 2343, within six years of the generally re- ceived date of the deluge; and supposing five periods, we have 2916, within eight years of the septuagint date, It must be admitted that Whiston might legitimately have felt authorized to suppose that the great comet of 1680, and of the death of Cesar was near the earth at the time of Noah’s deluge, and tnatit might have had some part in that great phenomenon. W histon’s notion was that the flood was caused by the attractive force of the comet, which, he reckoned, came within 9,000 or 10,000 miles of the earth. His theory em- braced the curious supposition that the earth was originally a comet, and he explains the series of transformations by which it be- came habitable. Without stopping to de- scribe these changes, it will suffice to say that he thought the nucleus of the earth a hard and compact substance, which was the ancient nucleus of the comet; that the matters of various natures confusedly mixed, which composed the nebulosity of the comet, subsided according to thelr re- Mpective gravities; that then the solid and thick fluid; that the earthy matters precipitated themselves afterwards and formed a covering over the dense filuid,a Kind of crust like theshell of an egg; that the water in its turn came to cover this solid crust, andthenin a considerable degree it became filtefed through the fssures and spread itself over the thick fluid; and lastly, the gaseous matters remaining suspended, purified themseives gradually, and constituted our atmosphere. Thus, in this system, the great biblical abyss is supposed to consist of a solid nucleus and of twoconcentric orbs. Of these orbs that nearest to the center is formed of heavy fluid which first precipitated itseif; the sec- ond is of water, and itis upon this that the exterior and solid crust of the earth reposes. Geologists might oppose many objections to this theory of the constitution of the globe, but we need mot pause to consider hem. , The Book of Genesis says that in the 600th year of Noah’s life on the i7th day of the sec.- ond month, ‘‘were alithe fountains of the greatdeep brokenup, and the windows of heaven were opepned.’’ According to Whiston this was accom- plished thus: The comet was but 9,000 or 10,- 000 miles from the earth; it attracted, there- fore, the water fromthe great deep, as the moon at present attracts the waters of the ocean and occasions tides. On account of that great proximity an immense tide must have resulted; the terrestriul shell couid not resist the impetuosity of the inundation, it broke in ata great number of points, and the waters, then free, spread themselves over the continents. The reader will here recognize ‘‘the rupture of the fountains of the great deep.’’ Genesis also says that ‘‘it rained forty days and forty nights.’’ But the ordinary rains of our days, even continued for forty days, would have produced but a small accumula- tion. Arago,in his essay on comets, dis- cussed fully the questions raised by Whiston, and computed that supposing the rain which falis at Paris throughout the entire year to be precipitated dally for six weeks, this large amount far from cover- ing the highest mountains, would scarcely form a depth of eighty feet. In order to get the immense volume of water re- quired by the Genesis account Whiston ound ft necessary to 100K to other sources than the ‘‘cataracts Of heaven.’’ He found them in the nebulosity and tail of the comet. Whiston the nebulosity Ace Gordian (Ararat) earth near the deeeer ke These mountains intercepted the entire, and the terrestrial atmosphere was thus charged with an immense quantity of aqueous cles sufficient to produce forty days’ rain of such violence as the or- dinary state of the globe can;give us no a t hig successor in the Univers Oam- age, it ven now be. i ,»itmay not e missed Siatanhs a cer amin nucieus was at first surrounded by a dense” %/ sented as being. hood and causing a very high tide; but a star of the same desceiption which, in its elliptic course about the sun directly struck the earth and changed its ax!s of rotation. Hal- ley was endeavoring to account for the rigor of the climate of North America as compared with that of Europe in the same latitudes. His star came along and struck the earth obliquely, and in consequence of that collis- lon, the North Pole, whic¥ had for ages been near Hudson’s Bay was changed toa more easterly one; but the countries which it had abandoned had been so long a time and So deeply frozen that vestiges still remain of its ancient polar rigor, SO that a very long period of years would be required for the sun’s action to impart to these frigid regions the climate which their latitudes might seem to entitle them to. The lame point in this theory is that it fails to account for the well-known fact that the Asiatic Coast isequally cold in the same latitudes as the Atlantic shores of North America, Whiston having required an immense tide to explain the biblical phenomena of the great deep, was not content to make his comet pass extremely near the earth; he gave it a very great magnitude, and he reckoned itto be six times greater than the moon. Arago shows that the Immense speed of the comet would forbid its raising any very considerable tide, even supposing it to have been as large and as near as supposed by Whiston. In order to effect the results, Arago says the comet’s mass must have been not only six times that of the moon, but thirty or forty times larger. Besides, when the comet ap- peared in 1680, it passed fully as near the earth as it did atthe time of the deluge, and it produced then neither Celestial cataracts nor terrestrial tides, nor ruptures of the great deep, nor did its train nor its hair -inundate us; consequently Wharton’s theory may be dismissed as a mere romance unless, abandoning the comet of 1680, we venture to attribute the same effect toanother much more con- siderable star of the same description, which Hailey suggested. There is no proof that the earth ever fizured insuch acollision, and it is incontestable thatthe inundations which would be producea by such an event—fearful though they would assuredly be—do not ex- plain the effects which the variation of the earth has undergone, now so well de- scribed by geologists. But later investigations concerning the comet of 1680, seemto dispose of Whiston’s theory compietely. His argument was based on the supposition that the comet was periodic with a term of 575 years—such being aiso the opinion of Newton and Halley. But calculations made by Encke and others, while fully confirming the periodicity of the body, assign to it a vastly longer period. Encke supposed its term to De 8,814 years. The comet crossed the earth’s path on Nov. 22, but the earth was far distant. It was Haliey’s opinion that had the earth been there, atthat time, the natural gravitation of the two bodies would have caused a change inthe plane of the earth’s orbit and in the length of our year; ana he also held that if so large a body, with so rapid a motion, were to Strike the earth the shock might reduce this beautiful structure to its original chaos. The probability of harm froma collision with a comet has been extensively discussed by newspaper writers duringthe past month. The conclusion reached is thatno fear need be felt. This result is reached on the ground of the conceded cloud-like character of these bodies. But some of them are far from being the gaseous nothings comets generally are repre- The third comet of 1845 had anucleus 8,000 miles in diameter; Donati’s comet (1858) had anucleus which measured 5,600 miles; the comet of 1815, 5,300 miles; the fourth comet of 1825, 5,100 miles. Now, itis pretty certaiu that in many cases the nucleus Is a substance of real solidity, and it is not dificult to gee that a comet witha head like thatof Donati’sat aspeed like thatof W histon’s would make trouble if itever came into collision with our earth. The earth’s immunity froma comet track is based upon two circumstances. The first is the inconsequential and innocuous charac- ter of most comets, and the . second Iisa de- duction from the law of probabilities. Arago computed that the chance of the earth’s being struck by the head of a comet was not more than onein 281,000,000, and of its being entangled inthe nebulosity might be placed at ten to twenty in the above num- ber. Thechance, he says, is exactly that of a mancompelledto draw outof a receptacle containing 281,000,000 balls, one vall only of whichis Diack, withthe assurance that he would haveto suffer death if he drew the black ball the firat time. The chances of his doing so are inconceivably remote, and most men would walk up tosuch an ordeal with little trepidation, THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Connecticut Avenue the Fashionable Promenade of Washington. H. L. Nelson, in Harper’s Weekly. In one long avenue, that which is named for the State of Connecticut, there is a brief epitome of the outward semblance of Wash- ington. This avenue is referred to usually as the fashionable promenade—although the fashionable people of the town do never promenade—and it owes that distinction to the fact that it isthe dlagonal street that cuts the fashionable northwest quarter ofthe town. Whatever there isof gay equipage or gay attire in the capital is to be met here, but whata travesty is the street itself on the glories of fashion! it struts out bravely enough, as to one side ofit, from a charming lUttle green snrub- crowded square, which, however, is defaced by an awkward effigy ofthe great Farragut. On its proud and haughty side, at the corner nearest the little shrubbery, which is musi- cal ail day with the voices of children, too in- nocent as yet to be oppressed by the bronze image that looks down upon them, stands the big yellowish-green stone house built by ‘*Boss’’ Shepard, once occupied by the Chi- nese legation, and now for many years the home of M. de Struve, the ge- nial, Kindly Minister from Russia. it is an ugly house; but there is nothing to say against it from the point of view of fashion, for it looKs as though a rich Man built it, and as ifit were only arich man who could pay the rent. (On the other side ig a little shop ortwo. Bethludthe big pile stretches a row of houses ‘cng known as ‘‘Diplomatic Row’’—houses that have cheapness written alloverthem, They have been inhabited by the small powers that send thelr representa- tives to the great republic. One of them is, or has been, a boarding-house; one of them is a lodging-house Kept by a most worthy ex-coachman of a great philan- thropist, who, dying, manifested his good- will for his faithful servant by bequeathing him this property. Across the way there isa high board fence covered with the artistic show-bills of theatrical. companies—show- bills that shift and vary in the darkness of every Saturday night; for Washington, although the capital of a nation of people who love the theater, is, in the slang of the profession, only ‘‘a one-week stand.’’. Not long ago-this fence extended well up the block, but how a few one-storied shops of a kind characteristic of other watering places have replaced partof it. And this board fence hia and buried hopes and blasted ambitions and wasted dollars; for, if it had been pulled down, there would have been revealed the time-stained foundations of a projected Casino, the perspective view of which painted in alluring colors once per- suaded capitalists, large and small, to in- yest their money tn the stock of the corpora- tion that was to draw dividends from the gayety of nations. Then, again, On the quality side of the street, 1S a great staring red-brick Roman Catholic academy and on the other side a modest brick church of the negro Methodists, out of Whose open windows on Warm Sunday evenings Issue the stentorian tones of relig- ious SODg and sermon. Beyond the great red academy are more cheap houses, that are, nevertheless, in the first society of the capital; and next to the little negro church are shops and dwellings that are meaner far than the meanest of their opposite neighbors. And this goes on until the avenue reaches and crosses the street that atits start was a block away from it, ana there manifold riches be- gin to assert themsélves. Chief among the substantial dwellings, and at the head of the line on what thus far has been the poor and needy side of thig strange promenade for fashion, stands the home of the British lega- tion, built and owned by the Empire of Great Britain—solid, expensive and repulsive. And yet there is no true Washingtonian who does not love to tread these pavements, and to saunter slowly by these houses worthy and unworthy of the pretensions that are made in behalf of the ungomely . for he breathes here the atmosphere of the te and m 1d women who acknowledge it perhaps, but in our hearts | Re we have been rather sorry for these women warriors who fought like demons for their King and who have been such picturesque figures in various tales of travel. But we were not permitted to indulge long in these sentimental reflections. The Amazons have been ignominiously defeated, and now that they are down the historian of the press arises to assure us that they never amounted to much after all and that they fought under the influence, not of loyalty, but of rum. Read this for example: **The Amazon ranks are recruited from girls of 130r 15 years af age, who are trained in military exercises, but not allowed to bear arms until they have attained a more mature age. Women who have committed any great crime find a safe refuge from punishment by enlisting inthis female bodyguard. The re- cruits are subjected toavery severe train- ing which fortifies them to endurance of all Kinds of hardship and physical pain. They are compelled to sleep out of doors in all Kinds of weather, andto suffer blows and kicks without a murmur, and are often kept starving for days. Among the hardships of the drill is the feature of scaling walls. For the purpose of gaining proficiency in this ex- ercise these half-naked women are made to Clamberuptothe topofa wall thickly cov- ered with thorns from prickly pears and cacti. In addition to this the ground is strewn with broken glass, and the ambitious recrults are always terribly lacerated and covered with blood, but after such adrilla complaintisan unheard of offense. Under these circumstances every womanly senti- ment is suppressed and the Amazons become unnaturally ferocious. In battle the Amazons fire rapidly for a few minutes and then throw down their firearms and, uttering terrific yells and screams, charge the enemy with theirknives. With these they do terrible execution, and even when shot downi and trampled under foot they will fight to the last gasp, stabbing blindly at their assailants above and biting and tearing the legs of those standing over them, The French gained a vivid idea of their fe- rocity inthe battle during the war in 14889. When under deadly fire from the fortifica- tions the Amazons made charge after charge on the works. When at last put to filght the dying furies seized several of the Frenchmen by their legs and tried to stab them with their swords. Before going into battle the Amazons are given liberal quantities of rum, which gives them the frenzied flerceness and daring recklessness which always mark their attacks. The uniformof the Amazonsisa short, sleeveless tunic of blue and white goods of light material. Their skirts do!not reach their Knees, and these, with the short half Turkish trousers and an almost jaunty white cap or bonnet, ornamented with horn- tips, make their appearance decidedly pic- turesjue. Their officers are distinguished by a lot of silver amulets and bangles generally covering the entire forearm.

They all wear cartridge belts and curiously wrougbt pouches, and carry long knives, with which they mutilate the wounded in a horrible manner,’’ It is a fortunate thing for the Amazons that they cannot read these last tributes to their memory. Mile, Adele Crepaz, whose essay on ‘‘The Dangers of the Emancipation of Women’’ has ‘‘called into fe new thoughts’’ in Mr. Gladstone’s mind, is a contributor to the Hansfrann Zeitung. which was the first paper of the kind started for women in Vienna. It came into existence some years ago, and is edited by an Austrian fraulein, but it is alto- gether opposed to what in America we should call the advancement of women. The news that the Scottish universities have thrown open their doors to women will be received with satisfaction in this country. At the beginning of the presentterm the University of Edinburgh admiited women on equal terms with men. ‘‘Equal terms’’ imply not only equal fees, examinations and admis- sion to lectures, but equal honors as well for the same proficiency in scholarship, as deter- mined by examinations and general college work. ‘‘The Scottish press,’’ says a corre- spondent, ‘‘has been full of reports of unit- versity proceedings. One paper states that strong excitement prevailed throughout Scotiand last week onthe occasion of the university being thrown open to women at Kdinburg. The university male students were assembled in great force, full of the strongest curiosity to see the new-comers. The most prominent positions, the front benches, were reserved in every class-room for their ‘sister’ students, and while they could hear the many jokes passed behind them on their millinery, on the whole the welcome accorded them was very cordial, and attheclose of the lecture the students kepttheir seats until the women had de- parted.’’ The subject of cooking is receiving due at- tention in the public schools of Engiand. The Manchester Guardian proudly announces that the Councilofthe Girls’ High School Co., is seriously considering the question of including cooking inthe school curriculum. After much earnest converse, it was the general opinion ‘‘that it would be most un- wise, particularly in country centers, to stand aloof from such an important develop- ment of the higher education of giris; and It was declared that, subject tospectal condl- tions, the general policy of the company should be as conciliatory and helpful as pos- sible, and that every co-cperation should be given to the various county organizations, such as ladies’ committees and the like, who have to deal with the question.’’ The day of the milkmaid is over, and our cows are to be milked by machinery. While the picture of the maiden trilling as she trips to the Rhine has grown dim, of late, even to the artists’ fancy, itis not strange that her final disappearance has made several senti- mental hearts ache.

A Disease that Has Become So Common in This Country that It Has Been Called a National Affecition—Its Various Phases. | What is catarrh and what portion of the body does it affect? Many people labor under a mistaken iaea that catarrh means simply a discharge from the nostrils, with a hawking and spitting of mucus; but to the observing physician who makesa specialty of treat- ing the disease the word catarrh means more. FEx- perience has taught him that catarrh is by no meana confined to the head, but that the entire system is frequently affected by it. Thus we have Catarrh of the nuse, causing frontal headaches or neuralgia, a sonse of daliness or drowsiness, dizzi- ness, confusion of thoughts, ete, Catarrh of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs, causing sore throat, cough, hoarseness or entire loss of voice, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, ete. Catarrh of the stomach (dyspepsia), causing indl- gestion, heartburn, water brash, nausea, fetid breath, palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, etc. Catarrh of the bladder, causing diabetes, Bright's disease, etc. Catarrh of the bowels, cauting alternate diarrhea and constipation, pains and cramps and disorders of that portion of the body. In fact, catarrh affects more or less all the mucous surfaces of the body, causing severe local or neu- ralgic cr rheumatic pains, pains in the ehest and under the shoulder blades, weakness and emacia- tion, and often consumption and paralysis. Examples of this terrible disease are presented every week by Drs. Copeland and Thompson, and the personal statements that are given by patients convey in many cases full descriptions of the suffer- ings caused by it, To-day we give the statement of Mr. 8. P. Martin of 1625 South Jefferson avenue, whose portrait is given herewitli. I oF . Sai SN Ks Yee = S_ ‘ , ni s 2 > \ 4 ‘ y Ps g o /. ~ : 2 : it if Mr. S. P.

Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoOST-DISPATCH. Panis, Nov. 22.—Does the trade of ‘‘soute- meur’’ existin the criminal classes of the Dulted States? , Probably I should think in the from of iso- lated cases, for evilis of no especial coun- try, and itsdeyelopements are pretty much . Sameall over the world. Butin Paris the Souteneur “whose name is scarcely to be ‘translated, meaning literally sustainer) is the Member of a large and dangerous race. Also 8a class this group of malefactors 1s pecu- Mar, believe, to the criminal divistons of Paris. He is the sapling whose ‘Perfected groéwth is the burglar and the @Ssassin. He leads a life of unutterable deg- ‘fadation. He begins his nefarious career in Riis earliest youth, and as a rule it findsa ‘Sermination only in the prison or in the erave. There is not the slightest ray of alleviation or excuse about his condition. Noteven the physical courage that some- times is to be met with amongst professtonal thieves or murderers lights his utterly de- graded nature. The souteneur is the parasite of the lowest type of women of the demi-monde. His antecedentsare invariably of the most de- Diorable kind. Born of drunkards or of criminals, called upon to make his own liwng at theearliest possible age, and naturally idie and vicious, he drifts without assistance into® course of action which promises to supply him with money without the trouble of working for it. The first phase in his _Careeris the trade of a ‘‘warner.’’ It is adopted when the boy is from 13 to 16. His duty ts to keep wat¢eh while his female employer is perambulating the streets im seurch of prey and to warn her of the ap- proach of a policeman or one of the dreaded **Inspesctors oi morals.’’ For this service he is usually paid 20cents per evening. Grown a little older he attaches himself to some one individual amongst the street walkers of the outside quarters and receives a certain pro- portion of her earnings, acting in exchange for this fee as her protector and champion. A new arrival, for instance, in this Gegraded army of unutterable vice is aimost always received by her future colieagues with threats and abuse and even blows. If she hasa champion at her service to protect her such treatment becomes im- possible. Also, the souteneur gives warning of the approach of the police, and if his em- ployer does not make her escape in time he Calis together his comrades and gets up a fight with the policemen toenable the woman torunaway. If all his efforts prove fruitless and she is carried off to prison he is expected to supply her during ner Captivity with the delicacies and allevia- tions permitted by Jaw. If any peaceable and moral promenader becomes the object of the solicitations of one of these women and re- pels her blandishments, the souteneur is within Call to beat and to plunder and some- times to murder the wretched and inoffend- ing stranger. THE BADGER GAME. The way that they treat the unhappy women on whose horrible earnings they live is beyond imagination abominable. They &-ompunction, and they beatthem without mercy. Sometimes the souteneur compels his employer to assist with him ina grand blackmallingenterprise. The victim is usually a rich banker or manufac- turer or merchant who is lured into the snare by the practiced allurements of the woman. Ifhe yieldstoher demands he is simply deprived of all his money and valua- bles and isturned adrift. If he resists and threatens the ‘pair with the terrors of the law, the souteneur has recourse to the final argument, which is the knife. Sometimes, Dut rarely, he is; driven to assassinate the unfortunate creature who supports him. That is the case when the woman attempts to escape from his domination, but general- ly a mingling of attachment and self-in- terest, as well as fear, keeps these poor creatures linked to their loathsome pro- tectors. As a rule the gsouteneur is very young, and is sometimes bandsome in a vulgar, florid style. One meets occa- sionally on the boulevards orthe Champs Elysees on sunny Sunday afternoons An the late spring or early sum- mer, with young men, dGark-eyed, black haired, and jfiorid complexioned, fantastic- ally and showlly dressed, who have neither the garb nor the carriage ofa well-to-do workman enjoying his holiday. They have something of the aspect of the strolling player blended with a furtive and sinister expression which'stamps them as members of the criminal class. These men are invari. ably souteneurs. Their lives are spent daur- ing the daytime at the low restaurants of the exterior quarters, where they drink and gamble when not on duty, to wafth over the women whom they prey upon whilst protect- ing A currous reason for the partiality mani fested by these wretched temales for their fegraded male companions has recently been given by a French writer. They are able to despise them! Nothing more despicable than themselves exists ina feminine form. They are objects of contemptand disgust for all the respectable members of society. But the souteneur, being a man, bas, conse- a still lower depth, and he pays him and who fears him, can find a certai satisfaction | In looking down upon him. be vile and yet to know someone viler than oneself ts @ sort of consolation. When, as sometimes happens, the police Sweep clean the street of some quarter of their nocturnal ;promenaders, thefts and at- tacks upon belated citizens become, in that partof thecity, alarmingly frequent. The cause of this augmentation lies inthe depri- vation for the souteneur of the payer of his wages. He betakes himself to crime, therefore, as a means of existence. It is well when he _ con- fines himself to robbery and assauit and does not betake himselfto murder, for in every souteneur there lies hidden the germ of an assassin. Duringthe past twelve years, in the Department of the Seine alone, more than 100 members of this vile class have been tried and convicted of murder in the first degree. Amongst these were Abadie, who made a specialty of killing old women; Gille, bis ac- complice, who was not quite 16; two boys of 15, Metrol and Mariez, and a powerfully built young Hercules of 18 named Landrillon, who, by his ehormous strength was capable of Killing a policeman by fracturing his skull with-a blow from an old bone, Owing to tho misguided clemency of the late President Grevy these three last named villains escaped the death by the guillotine that they had so richly merited, thetr sentences being commuted to transportation for life. Last yeara man of &, named Dogmatchof, who had been a souteneur for over forty years, was condemned to death for the murder ofa wretched woman who had refused to give him money, and who had supported him for forty years. teneur grows old, Lhe takesto burglary as a means of existence. He and his comrades form themselves into bands for breaking into suburban villas in the winter, where they are closed for the season,and for devastating private hotels and apartments while their tenants are absent during the summer. And ifany luckless servant orappointed guardian of the premises attempts to interfere with their operations, they do not hesitate to unite murder to their premeditated theft. **ARISTOCRACY’’ OF THE CLASS. This depravea and dreadful race has, strange to say, its aristocracy—men that are well educated, that appear in correct suits of broadcloth and in fashionable hats, instead of the Jacket and the cap with a glazed peak of the prowilers of the barrier, and that affect the manners and speech of well-bred persons. Yet they are, if anything, more dangerous than their vulgar col- leagues. Prado and Pranzini were soute- neurs of this class. The first murdered Marie Aguetan forthe sake of the jewels that he Knew herto possess. He was a man of intelligence and had some pretensions to literary talents. Pranzini, who killed not only Marie Regnault to get possession of her val- uable Jewelry, but also her maid servant and the young daughter of the latter, a girl of 14, was an accomplished linguist and had begun life as a courier, He was a remarkably handa- | Some man witha superb and athletic form | and a countenance that greatly resembled in features and in coloring that of Jacques Damala,the husband of Sarah Bernhardt. These ‘‘scented savages,’’ asa French jour- nalist describes them, both paid the penal- ties of their crime upon the scaffold. Pran- zini’s conviction was brought about in so strange a Manner that its details are worth recalling. Amongst the trinkets he had stolen from Marie Regnault was a little old- fashioned watch in detail, with a flower in small diamonds set upon the back of the case. ‘ihis he presented to a woman that he met at Marseilles, whither he had taken refuge after committing the crime. On seeing a description of such a watch in the list of the missing ornaments of the mur- dered woman, she became alarmed at the idea of possessing such a compromising article, and handed it over to the police. That watch, peculiar and readily tdentified as it was by the watchmaker who had been accustomed to repair it, formed an unbreak- |able link in the chain of circumstantial ev!i- dence by which Pranzini was conducted to the scaffold, LUCY H.

C., Dec. 3.—Much interes is centered in the forthcoming reports of the- Cabinet officers, and a very considerable por tion of it is in the statement and recommendations of Secretary of War Stephen B. Elkins. There is a reason for this strong interest on account Of the general understanding that Secretary Elkins has a hobby which he wants carried through before he surrenders the War De- partment to his Democratic successor. Secretary Elkins in fact like many others ts anxious to see the old grade of Lieutenant- General restored As it is now the senior Major-General commands the army but his rank is not changed even in his exaited posi- tion. He remains a Major-General and that is the rank of Gen. Schofield. The chief argument in favor of the restoration of the former rank ts that the Commanding General of the army should beconspicuously above all subordinate officers in point of rank. This will, itis believed, be strongly urged by Secretary Elkins, who holds tuat the discipline and well being of the army wil! be advanced and improved generally by the restoration of the rank. Another army matter that is _ receiving much careful attention at presentisthe dif ficulty experienced in getting the proper kind of recruits for service. It is known that the recruiting officers have been compelled to reject applicants by the whole- sale tor very good reasons. The intellectual and moral standing of a large number who applied for enlistment was not considered up to the standard and hence their rejection. Various remedies have been suggested tocombat this difficulty. Among others it is proposed to in- crease the pay of the soldiers and .non-commissioned officers, establish training schools and raise the standard of dignity generally to the end that young Americans of education and intelilgence anu good character may find some inducement to carry arms and wear the solidiers’ unil- form. As it is now many of the re- cruls are shiftless, zood-for-nothing fellows who, unable to secure orretain better em- ployment, accept thé army as a dernier re- sort. To get durable materia! for the service is at present one of the perplexing questions in \\ar Department circles. Of the ninety-six posts at present garri- soned, exclusive of the armories and arsenals, there are -only fiVe that are strictly considered regimental posts, which means they are supplied by full regi- ments, These are located in Utah, lilinois, Wyoming, Nebraska and Minnesota. There are poststhat areof as much, if not more, importance thanthese, even though they are supplied by parts of different reyi- ments. Jeltlerson Barracks, just South of St. Louis, which is the only post in Missouri, is considered by those famil- lar with it, well adapted- fora regimental postand its location is particularly favora.- ble. It may not be long before it Is graded as a regimental pust and treated accordingly in the matter of appropriations, Another matter of more than ordinary im- portance tothe department is the National Guard organizations in the various states. ihe War Department watches the citizen soidiery carefully and is always pleased to sec the States encourage thelr mliitary or- ganizations. The reason for this encouragement is ob- vious. In the event of an emergency the well-drilled citizen soldiery would makea most valuable adjunct tothe regular forces. A suggestion which may be carried Into ex- ecution is to give the President authority to appoint ten cadets at-large each year tor the military academy at West Point. With this increased number it is expected that the vacancies will Do Kept pretty will filled. The adoption ofthis plan would give the incoming president forty cadetships during his term for the-West Point Academy alone. Cadets selocted by the presidents, however, have to pass the same vigorous examination as those selected by congressmen and sena- tors, and sometimes the presidential seiec- tions fail as well as those chosen by the lesser dignitaries of the government, ~ Cast of twelve half- gallon bottles of Wind- sor Spring Water delivered for seventy-five WINDSOR SPRING Co., 1630 Olive street. cents.

Supplies Depressing Wheat—In- 7 _ Searce—Flour Dull — Cotton Works om Lower—Chat for the Trade. oe ns +. The 6,500,000 bu wheat in stock here has all 7%, Placed for May, and is practically off the market for five months, but so far it has Bot improved the position of wheat a little bit. Controlling infuences appear to have arifted back to old conditions of burdensome Supplies and inadequate demands. After all the emphatic affirmations that the depress- ing ran of winter wheat to market was over, it is still coming forward jin volume large enough, in conjunction with extraordinarily heavy receipts of spring wheat, to enlarge Visible supplies 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 bu week- ay. The out movement from this country Continues at the rate of about 20,000,000 bu a month, and domestic consumption is probably up to a maximum, s50 cheap is flour and so dear. are vegetables, but export and consumptive re- quirements are still largely surpassed by country deliveries. There is now about 71,- 000,006 bu in the stocks at distributing points, and Bradstreet’s visible for the whole coun- try is probably 105,000,000 bu. These enor- mous supplies are not alone weighing upon the markets of this country, but those also of Europe, deterring the foreign buyer from taking hold freely and standing off outside speculation on this side. There is plenty of bull sentiment alive inthis country, but it is confined almost exclusively to the profes- sional of the pit, and so far it is too much of a scalping character to benefit the market, much more sustain prices onrallies. So far the crop now in the ground is not in it as a factor, as there is nothing in the advices regarding the plant’s condition tobring out either buying or sell- ing. The government report this coming Saturday may be sensational enough to bring the ’98 crop into play as a potent influence, but the present outlook appearsto be for a report but little different from that of Dec. 1, 1891. Itlooks justnow as though it would require a sharp and steady falling off in re- ceipts and supplies to bring about a change in the present unfavorable market condi- tions.. How far off that falling off ts is a question. Thereis no doubt that farmers’ reserves are lower than usual at this season of the year, considering the size of the ’92 crop and the amount carried over. Figuring on government estimates of reserves, crop and requirements, using the same basis the government does in arrivingat March 1 re- serves, and taking actual known exports,the following result is arrived at: Reserves, March 1, 1892................- Crop of 1892 Total available Consumption for 9 months 236,250,000 Seeding the 1593 crop...... .....+.++-«.... 50,000,000 Exports for 9 months .. +++ ++-151,000,000 — - 171,000,000 500,000,000 —_— eines 671,000,000 Total requirements........ at hed nude 437,250,000 Reserves, Dec. 1, 1892 .................-.433, 750,000 Out’of this latter amount will be required for ym hl requirementto July 1, 1893, 188 , 750,000 u, which leaves 50,000,000 bu available for export from now on to the next crop. This is figuring it down to a fine point, but then they say ‘*figures cannot lie.’’ One fact thathas helped hold off the foreign buyer has been the steadily large exports from Russia since the ukase against ship- ments was removed. These will soon let Up, as the season for closing Russian ports, Owing to ice blockades, is nearly here. At this time last vear Russian arop below 1,000,000 bu shortly after entirely ceased. that country’s shipments would weekly, and A stoppage of turn the foreign demand more towards the United | |la gambling operations, it may not be out of States, asthere are no other countries that can furnish any considerable supplies for several months to come. While the situa- tion is so heavy and seemingly impossible to maintain advances, yesterday’s close of about 68%: for Dec, 695c for Jan, 75%c bid for May and Jan 75%c, was only %c below last Saturday. +. * * Cash wheat has shown considerable strength during the past week, particularly op the first of the month, when the deliveries were s0 large, This is easily accounted for: The a stock in store is all placed for May delivery, and virtually cuts no figure in the market, and all of the current receipts of soft wheat not wanted by the millers are taken care of in the same way bycarriers. The low grades have been bid up by carriers, but millers have been slow topaythe advance, and this toaconsiderable extent has cur. tailed the consumptive demand for these grades, as millers are confining their pur- chases principally to samples, and have been able to obtain nearly all they re- quired from sacked lots at prices relatively lower than the regular grade in store. Hard wheat is still wanted by exporters and the current receipts find ready sale. Some round lots have been sold to go out, anda larger outward movement its only prevented by the low stage of the river increasing the cost of transportation, as the barges can only be loaded to about one-half their capacity. The movement of wheat to this market thata week ago showed every Indication of a de- crease, was a surprise to the trade last week, rticularly Tuesday and Wednesday, when he receipts were about 100,000 bu per day. From the present outlook they are more than likely to continue large. Receiving houses say that the country offerings are in- creasing, particularly in Kansas and Ne- bDraska,and considerable hard wheat has been bought to come here from that section. The receipts for the week were 475,848 bu against 438, bu the week before. The stock in store is 6,566,642 bu, of which 3,756,450 bu is No 2 red, an increase of 49.265 bu No 2 redanda de- crease of 88,787 bu low wrades. Yesterday No 2 red sold at 68%@'ec, Noéred at 6442 @65c, No _4winter at 62c, No 2 hard winter at 64/4c. el * » The movement of corn to distributing cen- rs is steadily erowing and though not up to vol portions ofthis time ayearago, it is Pively larger, comparing the size of the two crops with one another. Yet most of the local receivers say they are doing very little in the way of buying corn to come here so tar this season, and Baitimore and Toledo are for the frst time in years out ofthe fleld as buyers. The squeeze in Nov in this marketal. verted considerable corntost. Louls and largely accounts for late large receipts. For the week 782.115 Du came in against 414,715 bu the week preceeding and 840,215 bu fur cor- ponding week last year. The chances vor heavy arrivais during Dec in this et. Thereis an enormous shortage in this month, largely on spreads between St. is and Chicago,and a large part js for ago parties.

The st week’s receipts of 198,150 bu were 56,000 u larger than the week before, but the stock decreased 71,000 bu, and is now 212,000 bu, with 148,000 bu of it No 2.

This was attributed entirely to a decline in Chicago. * * all The flour market is particually in the same condition as for some weeks past. Every- body inthe trade reports business very dull which is something remarkable in the face o low prices current, being the lowest ever known. It seemsthat buyers manifest little concern, as they continue to buy only such supplies as their immediate needs require, and as long as wheat does not change materially, there is no hope for any improvement. lrices show no change, but more inclined to weakness, yet sales could not be forced even by granting conces- sions. The movement is gradually falling off, shipments for the week being 41.736 bbls, and the receipts 28.310. The inspections for Nov. were 30,510 bbls, against 43,048 in Oct.

The railways made a bluff at main- taining tariff rates, beginning Dec. 1, and buyers took advantage of that to pull themselves out of the market. The result has been a settling down to 6lc East track and the millers showing more desire to meet buyers’ views. There is no doubt but that extensions of cut rates have been made to some shippers, and one buyer says the pres- ent situation amounts to about *‘how much ofa cut you can get,’’ which does not speak well for stiff tariff rates. But so far most of the Eastern and shipping buyers are doing nothing but swapping yarns and the stand around act. > > > The cotton market was rather unsettled, and the feeling was just the reverse of what ithad been several weeks previous. It was rumored that a well organized clique of traders in New York and the South and West was manipulating cotton, and one would al- most be ledtothink that something of that ‘ind was going on, judging by the actions of the market of late, The statistical situation has undergone no material change and all reports from the crop were as ubfavorable as at any time during the season. The decline in Liverpool, in a measure, was due to an article published in the London Times, which in its financial article published a statement intending to snow that the present risein cotton is with- outa precedent except during the American Civil War, and thatthe movement is wholly speculative. Middiemen, it says, are buying as fast -as they can in the teeth of the bad state of trade and the strike in Lancashire and in the absence of any proofof a diminution of sup- lies F 300,000 baies is probably, as was the case last year, greatly under the mark. In con- clusion the article says that inasmuch as at jeast 5,000,000 bales must have changed hands a word of caution. This of opinion from such had an important and was refiected in light by spinners. The movement of the crop curing the week, according to the Financial Chronicle, was as follows: Plantation deliver- fes, 206,122 bales; corresponding time last year, 313,083. Camein sight during week, 376,502; last year, 402,341. Crop in sight, 3,566,- 7; last year, 5,002,717.. Visible supply, 4,064,- 377; last year, 4,133,817. Of which American, 3,654,677; last year, 8,780,517. Yesterday the report that the Georgia Degislature had instructed the Senators of that state to vote for the anti-option bill influenced the market unfavorably. A singular condition of affairs existed as regaras the difference in prices in the principal markets of the country. There was alineof 750 bales sold here at 9%&cto luc per pound _ for middlings. At the same time New York was = selling December contracts that should repre- sent spot cotton, at ‘%&c. It costs kc to put this cotton into New York, allowing yc for it being Gulf cotton. This made a difference of neraly ic per 1b in favor of spot cotton in 8t. Louls against contracts in New York. Not much was done locally, sales for the week aggregating 2,699 bales. Quotations were reduced Yc on Friday, putting middling to 9%sc. place to utter expression source The encouraging condition of the hay mar- ket noted a weeK agO Was continued through the week just past. Receipts for the week were 2,490 tons, against 1,940 tons the week before. A good indication was the steady increase in shipments, which for the week were 744 tons, against 523 the week previous. For timothy and mixed the local demand has been good, and particularly so for the best grades, the best offerings showing marked ad- vances. Atno time was the supply of choice in excess of the demand, while fancy and better was considerably short of require- ments. The dally receipts as usual ever since the present crop commenced to move run largely to the lower grades, and there is still considerable of such hay on hand, but the scarcity of the desirable grades has, and still is, causing a gradual decrease in the holdings, and when completely wiped out, which will be very shortly, better prices will rule. Up to the middle of the week the market on prairie was in about the same position as it had been for two weeks past, steady and firm with a steady On Thursday the surplus out and the market was entirely wiped Hay that sold last jumpedup $1 per ton. | week eurly at $s and $9 per ton found quick sale Friday and Saturday at $9 and $10, with the demand far in excess of supply.

The local dealers are about allinthe market for supplies and a liberal amount would find xood sale at present ruling prices.

C. H. Albers: ‘‘The wheat market just now reminds me of a foot ball match. Both sides are trying to kick it in their own favor.

I do not believe there is a net shortage in this market of half a million, nor that any one manis short more than 50,000. Nearly everybody is long and the shortage against the long lines is nearly 7,000,000 bu in actual wheat.’’ . * = Frank Woodlock took in ‘‘Jupiter”™ at the Grand the past week, and when he came on the floor the following morning and saw the clock chronicle a little up-tura 1 nwheat he burst out singing: There are traders who think it is a snap To sell this May wheat short, But they'll sel: it once too often And some day it will not soften And these smarties will find that they are caught, And they’li never smile again, And they’ll never smile again— Some day ’twill take a start And ‘twill break their roll and heart— And they’li never smiie again. * . * The Washington Department of Agriculture says: The average yleli of hay isreturned at 1.17 tons per acre, or practically the same as the Nov return of yield in 1891. The condl- tions which rendered the season unfavorable for most arable crops were especially favorable for the grasses. The early months of the year were generally marked by an abundant rainfall and the crop was mostly gathered before the drouths of the later season affected it. The estimates ranged from .9 ton per acrein New England to 2tons in California, but it must be borne in mind that in the latter State hay is largely made up of Alfalfa, the yield of which is very much larger than that of cultivated grasses, which form the bulk of hay in the older States. - 7. > Our corn crop Is the biggest grain crop in the world. We turn out something like 2,000, - 000,00? bu ol corn every year and we have, six States that produce over 1,000,000,000 bu. Have you any idea what that means? Forty bushels of shelled corn isa good load for a team of horses, and if you willload that crop upon wagons, putting the noses of the horses’ heads to the tallboards of the wagons in front them, the line of wagons would reach away in a straight line for more than 150,000 miles. If it could cross the oceans it would go six times around the earth and have nearly 5,000 miles of wagons to spare. A single year’s crop of American corn would make a road of wagons forty-four abreast from New York to San Francisco, and if this amount were loaded in 500-bu lots in freight cars the train would reach from the West to New York, across the Atlantic Ocean, across Europe, and nearly to the Pacific shores of Asia before the last car was on the track. These cars would form four continuous freight trains from New York to San Fran- cisco, and they would block upall the trunk lines of the country, and the most of this corn comes from only six States, though corn can beraised innearly every State of the Union. Outof every thousand acres of landin the country only forty-one are de- voted to corn. ° From the Street.

The man who wouldopen a cracked egg house now inthe produce quarters is as- sured of a land-office business. There wasa time when a boy cou!d be found in a secluded corner in the rear of a store cracking eggs to accommodate this trade, but the conditions for such work at present are not favorable, > * * Minnesota venison is very abundant this season and while the market was bare last year of the fine fat saddles from the North there is plenty of it here now and more com- ing. Hundreds of saddles were among the commission men at St. Paul and Minneapo- lis on Dec 1, the close ofthe season up there and ete dropped to 10clb. As figures are much higher here several big consignments were started for St Louls. There seems to be stilla big supply of deerinthat direction, and itis well the killing and selling season in Minnesota is confined toa short time. . * - A very good opportunity is open at present for some enterprising citizento start a rat pit. The source of supplies will be found abundant, especially up in the produce quarters. It may be said that the crop is unusually large, fat, slick, and exceedingly active.

There is no man in the commission business that is so steadily in search of novelties in his line of business as Charley Taylor, with Brockinan & Trauvernicht.

Loujls, and yet this city is about midway between shipping and receiving points. rather hard for the St. Louls man to have to pay 45 cents freight, while the merchant at Houston and other interior points has to pay only 30 cents. The water route furnishes the key tothe situation. To Galveston by water is 20 cents, and 10 cents more satisfies the railroads operating in conjunction with the boats. Therefore, St. Louls, aS against the New Yorkers, must be regarded as not in it, but it is not always so. o > * An experienced commission merchant, who has made a specialty of poultry for years, says: ‘‘This is the last season that poultry should come toour market dressed in the old-fashioned way—scalded and drawn with heads and legs cut off. The universa! demand now its for dry-picked and undrawn with heads and legson. The rich oll and fiavor ofthe bird is preserved in this way. By the old and now discarded process, neither is saved to the consumer, and as a rule the scalaed and drawn bird begins to sour before it reaches the average purchaser. With the better method in voxue st. Louts would becomea great poultry center, the leading primary market of the United States, because all the Eastern operators would buy here regularly soon as they found the stock was properly prepared for their wants, and it would also be in the proper condition for reshipment to any mar- ket. Let the commission merchants get to- gether and formulate a scheme to bring about these desirable results before the next season for dressed stock opens. * = * The editor of the Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower, who has for years fairly studied the situation between shipper and commission merchant,says tn relation to the marketing of the Florida orange crop in his last Issue: The most convincing argument in favor of the auction as the best system of seliing fresh frults is found inthe changed views of its former bitter opponents, the commission merchants. Denouncethe latteras he may, the shippercan not deny the fundamental proposition that it isthe natural interest of the commission manto get the most money he can for his consignments, Even the rascally one will do that from self-interest, though he may not return a dollar of it to the consignor. Now, when we find commission merchants in all the large cities, who formerly opposed the auction system with might and main, now forming companies to handle fruit by this same system, what testimony could pos- sibly be stronger in its favor? When re- minded of their former hostility to the auc- tion they do not attempt to deny it, but say **We find it the best way to get money out of fruit, and to get the most money out of it.’”’ a7 . al The shippers patronizing New York City Thanksgiving week with poultry, live and dressed, had an awfulexperience. The losses were many and very heavy, for reports show that St. Louis averaged much better both for live and dressed stock. Sales of dressed turkey, for instance, were made as low as 10c per ib. The _ receipts, it appears, were enormous, those of live poultry being placed at 32 cars of Western stock alone—mainly from Michigan, Ohio and Ken.- tucky. ‘ihere was 21 cars estimated of turkeys inthe lot. The offerings of dressed poultry, largely turkey, were equally liberal and, with one exception (i888), the largest on record for Thanksgiaing week, while the re- celpts of live for the same occasion broke the record. ‘The weather, too, was as favorable for the trafficas could be desired. Tocon- tribute to the disaster and losses to shippers and receivers aliké a number of cars due Monday didn’t get in till Wednesday, when it was entirely too late, The experience shows shippers the folly of depending so much on Eastern markets and consigning there when they have much nearer home far more profit- able markets which can be quickly and safely reached, ON THE STREET.

a - 4 SENSE OF SECURITY NOW FELT THAT HAS LONG BEEN WANTING. bul E@ect on Financial Affairs of the In- . SPeased Export of Gold—What Is Said of the Brussels Monetary Conference ~ Opinion of Bankers on the Gold Movement. Nuw Yorr, Dec. 3.—The shadow which has hung over Wall street for many years has been removed. The impending death of Mr. Gould has exerted on mnancial affairs the influence which is always produced by un- Certainty. Atilastthe uncertainty is over. NO more wild rumors of Mr. Gould’s death constitute part of the stock ammunition of the bear traders to be used at certain stages Ofevery bear campaign for the purpose of frightening speculators out of their holdings. From this point of view the death of Mr. Gould lamented by his friends, brings to the Mnancial community at large a sense of Security which has long been wanting. Again there is a large class of investors who, while perhaps admitting the honesty of Mr. Gould's purposes toward the properties un. Ger his control, have yet believed that other _ Interests were deterred from taking an in- terest in the so-called Gould properties through distrust. Hence they have shunned @oulad stocks. To these two causes is ' to be attributed the strength of the stock market when it was Known that a man @who, starting with mothing, had accumulated. $100,- ,000, and who was so important a figure in ‘the railroad history and the development of our country, was dead. As for his holdings coming upon the market, it is impossible to Delieve that anybody really thought that they would. Mr. Gould has had too many warnings fromthe great leaveler of ranks and fortunes during the past ten years not to have made ample preparation for the event which took place yesterday. Yesterday represented a climax, atleast a temporary one, in the downward movement Of stocks. Rumors, not events, are the po- tent factors in unsettling values. The mar- ket had been on the downward track all the week, the bears using rumors of Mr. Gould’s fliness and of heavy exports of gold to be made to-day as weapons with which to frighten the holders of stocks on margins. When the events took. place, the death of Mr. Gould and the engagement of $1,600,000 gold for export,the climax had been reached. The bears attemptedto cover their shorts andasharp rally ensued. The ex- port of gold was less than the street had been led toexpect. Itis worthy of note that some ofthe gold withdrawn from the Sub- Treasury for export was returned because those who had withdrawn it could see no profit in exporting it. Now that the sSub- Treasury gives out gold coins in which there is an admixture of Nghtweight California pieces in response to the demands of ex- porters, exchange rates must be higher to show a profit in gold exports than when the Government was furnishing gold bars for the benefit of Europe. Atthe present time this disadvantage tothe shippers in the quality of coin furnished is partially counter- balanced by the premium which is being paid for the gold by Europe, This is estimated by experts to be about three-eighths of 1 per cent. Austria has been assiduous in collecting the gold with which to Degin specie payments, and seems to have Deen successful. Not much consolation is to be derived from the cabled reports of the do- ings ofthe International Monetary Confer- ence. Itisrather dificultto tell the exact status of the Rothschild plan. Nor does it seem to make much dlifference what its status is, for the adoption of the plan would, in the opinion of nearly everybody, putus in a worse position than we now occupy, in that it would bind us to the continued purchase of 54,000,000 ounces of Silver per year, while practically binding the other nations to nothing, and not increasing the use of silver. The plan as proposed has found no friends anywhere, meeting with equal condemnation here and in Europe. It is hardly credibie that the author of the plan expected its acceptance, at least in its origt- paliform. It is much more likely that he put it forth as a basis for discussion. Should our delegates give to it their sanction in any- thing like its present form, they would not find ahearty welcome waiting for them on their return. Probably few persons have stopped to think ofthe extremely difficuit position in which the delegates are placed. Our Government solicited the conference of nations with the avowed purpose of increasing the use of silver as money. The delegates went tothe conference with the understood paspose of bringing about an increased use of silver as money, but apparently the intelligent men of this country regard the necessity for the the Sherman law as more that for the increased ; The suggestion by Mr. Rothschild that the United States bind itself to the continued purchase of 54,- 000.000 ounces of sliver per year was like a red flag weaved beforea bull. So here are the delegates beeween two very sea fires. Fney have gone to the cnnference to bring aboutan increased use of silver as money. t the suggestion that this country even continue a present use of silver brin abowt a storm of disapproval. What then can the delegates accomplish ifthey are not to be allowed to proceed on the oe geeghteer that our Government is to do atleast as much for the cause of silver as it =e been doing? It is alittle too much to ope thatthe nations of Europe willl avree to an increased? use of silver wiile we are to rease our own use of it. The whole situa- tion israther absurd. Great good may be accomplished by the conference, but it takes deeper minds than those of ordinary men to gee how it is to be done. The d¢legates tothe conference are not in Whatever they may bring down or ‘an enviable position. accomplish will peovabiy their heads the sharp criticisms of many in- floential men. For their sakes we should hope that the conference will lapse into dig- nified and innocuous desuetude which out- come seems now to be highly probable. - Leading bankers express the opinion that the present export movement of gold will not ‘Dea heavy one. There are logical reasons for this view in the fact that further exports of cotton and provisions are probable,and that doring the latter part of Deccember money ‘yates usually rise to figures which tend to keep money at home. As for this latter, how- it must be remembered that the in- mountofthe currency due to ounces of silver per the comparatively small be drawn away the in- crease silver money, which in this coun- fe as old. Thus the exports bf gold exert only a slight influence on money rates, and the latter are Kept down so that ; port of gold is madeeasier.

The movement of prices in its thorough irregularity and confusion, re- fected the confusion of the speculative mind. All thatcould with certainty be said was that a new and as yet unmeasured fac. tor, wholly unexpected, had found its way intothe market. The sentiment of the en- tire financial community on the events of yesterday was spoken again to-day in the market, clearly and unmistakably. The continuous advance in Western Union and Missouri vracific is capbble of only oneinterpretation. It was these stocks which led the market to-day but the movement was by no means confine totbem. In several other quarters the short interest, frightened by the unlooked-for turn of events in the Gould stocks, bought heavily allthe morning. This was particularly true of the grangers. There were to-day, as there were yesterday, more genuine outside buying orders in the market than have been seen in many months. Rightly or wrongly, justly or a iuotiy, the tone throughout was that of a market relieved ofa nightmare and anineubus. There werea few exceptions to the day’s advances, which were noteworthy chiefly because they were exceptions. Sugar certificates furnished one, the closing out of the late more or less unscruplous ‘‘deai’’ in the face of a generally strong stock mar- ket, being apparently preferred by its manipulators to any further advance. New Engianda’s weakness to-day was perfectly natural, in view of the character of yesterday’s advance in the stock. Itsupward movement yesterday af- ternoon was purely artificial, being onlya clever ‘*squeeze’’ of a group of reckless bear traders. Ofthis nothing could furnish bet- ter proof than the aeelqatty and absurdity of the stories exhumed to help along the rally. preféfred suffered again from its lack of any organizea support, and as for Reading, the proposition to help out its balance sheet by borrowing at a discount on the collateral of unsold coal confirmed too many bad_ im- pressions to be an arreeable surprise. ®It is somewhat noteworthy that the company’s representatives now protest that the ‘‘coal note’’ echeme is notat all a new device in Reading’s finances. It certainly must be ad- mitted as a logical accompaniment of book- keeping which credits as cash on hand all of its coal mined in excess Of market require- ments. Northern Pacific MONEY MATTERS. The Local Situation ana Other Topies of Interest—Good Demand for Money. The past week has been one of more than usual activity atthe banks, and the Clear- ings show the largest week's business on record. While bank reserves are more than ample for all the present require- ments, officials are drawing their lines somewhat closer, as the demand for money is better than ever known at this sea- son of the year. This is due to the healthy and active condition of all classes of busi- ness. The local stock market has been very wsctive for some specialties, such as trust com- anies and United Elevator stocks; the ormer have advanced sharply. Gaylord, Blessing & Co.’s circular letter reviews the situation in Wall street yester- day: The stock market has shown quite a disposition to boom to-day, but unfortunate- ly most of it has been confined tothe indus- trials and those securities most sensitive to Mr. Goula’s influences. On the rally there was 2zood selling and at the close most of the advance was lost. The market is nervous and extraordinarily sensitive to tem- porary influence.

O eo 2.799.891 DEATH AND AFTER. Subject of a Theosophical Lecture by Miss Annie Besant in New York. New YorkK, Dec. 8.—Annie Besant, speak- ingin Chickering Hall last night, initiated a considerable and intelligent audience into the mysteries of the theosophical view of the hereafter. Her lecture, called ‘‘Death and After,’’ isnotan argument, but an eloquent and attimes extensively verbose statement of the course of the soul after death. She divided the human organization into body, soul and spirit. The body she described as a mere collection of organs incapable of action or gratification in themselves. The soul is two sided, one side, called the ‘‘body of desire,’’ being Dent upon earthly, material things; the other side, called the ‘‘robe of the spirit,’’ being bent upon things spiritual toward which the spiritiseverstriving. The spirit is that im- mortal essence, the embodiment of all that is pure and lofty. As the Ife is, so is this body of desire weak or strong. If one has lived for commerce, for fashion, for earthly power, after death comes the spirit and the spirit robe are ever vestured and still imprisoned by this body of desire. The robe of desire, however, gradu- ally fades, leaving the spirit finally free to ursue its upward fllght into the realms of jliss, to rest there and enjoy until the call comes totry againthe lifeinthe flesh. Mrs, Besant was well applauded for her strong denunciation of spiritualistic seances, tabie tappings and rappings. Charged With Cruelty. Saw Francisco, Cal., Dec. 8.—A morning paper publishes a sensational story to the effect that charges of extreme cruelty will be preferred against Commander Thomas Nel- gon ofthe United States steamship Adanis. It statesthat Executive Officer Adams and Master-at-Arms Keating will also be in.- cluded in the charges. It is alleged that, acting under Commander Nelson’s orders, Adamsand Keating cruelly tortured an ap- prentice boy named August Motzick, and that he is dangerously illand liabie to die. Motzick shipped as an apprentice on the Adams, prior toher cruise to Behring Sea lastspring. The paper says that after the ship had been in Behring Sea some time the sailors were denied fresh water for washing purposes, but that this water was allowed to the Chinese servants of the officers and that the officers them- selves received a double allowance. The men were afraid to use the salt water for washing purposes, for fear of scurvy and the general effect on the health. So they did not wash at all an@ soon were ina filty condition and covered with vermin. Finally Motzick was sent forward by the sallors as a commit- tee to ask Commander Nelson for fresh water. The Commander asked the boy what he wanted water for and the boy said he wanted it to clean himself. Itis stated that thereupon Nelson ordered Executive Officer Adams totakethe boy out and scrub him; that Adams turned the. apprentice over to Master-nt-Arms Keating, whowith a squad of men tied the boy down and scrubbed bis back with canvas, sand and salt water until itblea. They then drenched him with galt water. As a result of this treatment the boy’s back was in aterrible condition. Run- ning sores formed on his back, and his con- dition became critical. The story was brought down by the sailors on the United States steamship Mohican, which arrived a short time ago. He Wanted to Marry.

The Sixth Street Camp Resumss Work— Work on the Thespian-Striks in the Highland Mary-—Shipments From the Doris—Local Mining Notes. LEADVILLE, Dec, 3.—After one of the long- estand most obstinately contested battles with water ever known in the history of the camp, that celebrated mine, the Sixth Street Shaft, resumed the work of sinking to-day. Thousands of dollars have been spent and the patience of stockholders has been griev- fously tried, but the men who were at the head of the enterprise knew that the mineral was there and they proposedtogetit. Time and time again their shaft has been flooded with water and it was not until the mine was literally lined with pumping plants that any- thing was accomplished. All the machinery is now working like clock work and no further trouble is anticipated. The ore body is knownto exist andthe work of sinking will be vigorously pushed. At the big Bohn property everything is progressing ata lively rate and by Monday morning sinking will be resumed. The shaft has been entirely cleared and with the present pumping facilities there is no doubt but that the water can be easily handled. The diamond drill run Gown in this mine has proven that a fine body of ore exists forty or forty-five feet be- low the present bottom of the shaft, and oa will go forward very quickly for the ore ody. At the Thespian property arrangements are about completed for resumption of work. Thousands of dollars have been expended in developing tbis property, but nothing of great importance has yet been uncovered. The Robinson sti leads its neighbors in the mining and shipping of ore. Ship- ments will be increased this month. On No. 2 La Plata 175 tons per month of fine carbonate ore are being shipped. Other lessees on this property are shipping smail quantities of iron and carbonates but most of the attention is now paid to prospecting in new ground. THE TREASURY VAULT. The Treasury Vault located near here on Cross Creek ts developing into a fine proper- ty. The mine is owned by a New York syndicate anda is in charge of Chas, Anderson. Arrangements have been made to work the mine vigorously this winterand enough” ore will be taken out to keepthe new stamp mill busy early in the spring. : The large amount of work that has been going on for some time in the Highland Mary mine has resuiltedinthe striking this week ofa nice channel of oreof sliver lead character, and shipments will be started to-day and kept up regularly. Shipments of ore from the Grey Eagle keep up steadily and over 1,000 tons of mineral are being shipped every month. Some of this is Pocahontas ore, the two shafts being con- nected withadrift. Afine new holster has been added to the plant. At the Silver Cord mine work goes on stead- llyand shipments are continuous. Ninety- fiVe tons of sylphide ore are now being sent daily to the mill, which runs day and night. Several big bodies of excellent ore are now being opened up and developed, and the out- look for this great producer is brighter than ever. At tne Modoc the management are trying to catch one of the ore chutes of the upper con- tact, and the indications show that they are on the right track. Some virgin grouné@ in this mine is also being developed with satis- 5 | results, The Doris ts looking fine and there Is lots of mineral opened up. Shipments of high-grade carbonate ore are continuous. Drifts are being run in ail directions on the C. M. Fraction to cross-cut the contact. An additional force was put on Dec. 1, and ship- ments are to be largely increased. THE LEADVILLE CONSOLIDATED. The Carbondale shaft of the Leadville Con- solidated is shipping regularly an excellent grade ofcarbonate ore. A shipment made the first of this week average 100 ounces sil ver per ton. Another shipment made at the same time from the shamrock of the same consolidation ran 200 ounces totheton. Good bodies of ore are disclosed anda dealof development work is being carried on. The Penrose property will very soon be on the IHst of producers. The big pumping plant has effectually cleared the mine of water, so that drifting can now be carried on without any difficulty. One of these drifts yes- terday caught a streak of iron ore running twenty-six ounces of silver to theton; the contact is above the drift and upraising will soon be commenced. The Lime King property, worked by the Horseshoe Mining Co.,1is being vigorously developed. This property Mes over 13,000 feet above sea level,and the management have just supplied the place with provisions, etc., to last throughout the winter. The Lime king people are very sanguine over the successful outcome of their opera- tions as their entire neighborhood Is known to be rich in mineral; the great Locker-Hiiltop ore chute of this district has been opened up for 1,800 feet, exposing a body 40 feet by 50 feet deep; it is this chute that the Lime King people are after and will verq probably get. The property owned by the New Years Con- solidated Mining Co. was sold this week to satisfy a judgment against the company. John Harvey, the coal king of this State, was the purchaser. The price paid was $16,040. Cripple enterprises are onthe boom this week. ‘Jhe McArthur Forest Mill has been finished and willsoon be running full biast. The new inillto be erected in =quaw Gulch, mentioned in last Sunday’s Post-DIspatcnu, wlll be pushelup in a hurry. The mill will have fitty stamps and the sampling works a dally capacity of 100 tons, The Little Dora in the Gunnison district is developing into a fine property. In the breast of the main workings they have a three-foot vein of carbonate ore averaging $22 silver and $10 gold to theton. Mr. Lottes istheowner of this mineand is one ofthe original discoverers of mineral in the Gunnoil- son country. The Grand Duke Mining Co. at Rico have cut asmali veinof very rich ore in their tunnel. A very important strike was made recently in the Burns lode of the Calumet Co.’s min- ing property. Itis very sure tbat they have caught the rich ore chute of the Pharmacist. This company is capitalized at $600, 0v0, MINING IN MEXICO. Heavy Purchase by an English Syndicate —Aoctivity in Mining Circles. MORELOS, Mexico, Dec. 38.—There is great activity in the mining districts in the State of Michoacan. Several promising mines have recentiy been opened upin the Tialpujahua district. The shaft ofthe Santa Gertrudis y Amexas Co. has been completed toa depth sufficient to permit cross-cutting. Some fine ore is now bDe!ng taken out of this mine above the water level. A new stationary pump has just been placed onthe tunnel level at the shaft, where itthrows the water upto the surface tanks which supply the boilers. The new stamp mill, whichis now in pro- cess of construction at the Nacional mine will be completed and ready for operation be- fore Christmas. The work has been resumed on the shaft of the Nacional mine and large quantities of ore are being taken out. The news has reached here of the sale of the Conception and Coloradillas greup of mines, in this state, toasyndicate of En- giish capitalists. The mines are producing large quantities of rich silver ore. The pur- chase price is said to be $800,000. The new owners announce that they will make many improvements at the mines in the way of putting in modern operating machinery, etc. The new shaft ofthe La Luz de Borda is being sunk rapidly. The vein in the shaft now averages about three feet widthof good milling ore and abont six inches of rich shipping ore. A cross-out which was run to tap the Trigueros vein has been finished and rich ore is now being taken out. The old mule power hoist of the mine has been done away with and a steam power holst has been put in. The works of the Palmarejo Mining Co. in Chihuahuaare now in full operation. The average amount of ore treated for the month of October was 1,500 tons per week, produc- ing In all $54,000, the ore averaging 82 ounces silver. ~ Advices have reached here that the Cande- gh mine, penesse at Pinosinthe State of acatecas n bonanza... 4 ‘ The Todos Sanios and Other mines in the Batopilas region bave been abandoned and : ‘ ae ways » es 6 lle AN Titi ite er Ne been received here Of the abandonment of the La Purisima argentiferous group at San Carlos on the Rio Grande River and of the Sierra Rica and Aquilas mines fifty-six ee “eo co tion known as uran a rpora the Bacis Gold and Silver Mining Co., was recently formed in London, England, with a capital of $1,000,000. e Girectors of the company are Lieut. Col. R. Anstruther: Edward Dicey, C. B.; Sorton aan aoueet Mcliwraith. Th y is formed to acquire and work extensive gold and silver mines, situated on a slope of the Sierra Madre Mountains, near the ancient City of Bacis on the Tula River, in the State of Durango, Mexico. The property includes the following mining Claims: The Herrero, Da Luz and the Lajo, each of800 meters or 2,624 feet in lenath. The altitude of the mines is from 4,000 to 6,000 feet and it is expected that the extension of the Mexican Interna- tional Railroad to Mazatlan will pass within a few miles of the Claims, fater and timber are abundant and the ore Is free mill- ing. The Herrero lode, reachingin width 30 feet or more in places, is considered to be a true fissure vein, the average assay value of the samples of ore taken being from $28 to $30 per ton of 2,000 Bs. The Luz lode,about eight feet wide, forms a junction with the Herrero lode. The average of six assays gave gold 5 dwts and silver 28 ounces per ton. The Tajo lode, extensively worked in olden times, crosses the river and is about one mile eastward from the Herrero mine. A sample brokenin a winze, fifteen feet deep, assayed as much as 750 ounces of silver perton. The ores in sight in the Her- rero and the Luz Mines are estimated at 75,- 550 tons, and on the Lug dump 6,000 tons. The estimated profit to be expected from mining and milling the ore In reserve and the treat- ment of the ore onthe dump, based upon an an extraction of 15 per cent of the assay value, is over one million dollars. A 40- stainp mill is to be erected by the purchasers at once. ; rs JOPLIN MINES. Occurrences in the Jasper Coun'y District. JOPLIN, Mo,, Dec. 3.—A rich strike has been made in the pump shaft mine on the Keeler land at Webb City. The ore was struck ina drift at a depth of 156 feet. Wampler, Steven- son & Rackerby on this land have a promising prospect. The Moseley mines in Newton County are producing lead ore in large quantities. An Indiana company is sinking a drill near the east end of Main street, in Joplin, and a body of zinc ore has Deen penetrated to a depth of sixteen feet. Cc. O. Frye has bought a half interest in the Stephens, Lowry & Morris mine in Hollow, and has leased the Palmer & Howard No. 8mine. The shaft of the first named mine is down 9% feet, and a 16-foot face of ore has been developed. Ffeven tons of high grade zinc ore was put outin three days last week with two hand jigs. The Neuvich Minin« Co., which has been prospecting north of Turkey Creek at Joplin, will abandon the diggings and move its plant to a tract of land adjoining the Margerum on the north at Oronago. This tract bas been prospected witha drill and ore struck. Operations in ’Possum Hollow, northwest of Joplin, are progressing vigorously. Never before, since the days of digging for shallow mineral, have there been so many prospec- tors. The ore Hes at a depth of from 50 to 120 feet and it seems to be a bianket formation in the hallow. Two tracts are embraced inthe hollow. One ison the Granby land and is known as the McCoe, and the other is owned by Clark, Phelps and Cochrane of the Missouri Pacific Road, and is known as the American Belle property. Last week the McCoy produced 224,530 pounds of zinc ore and 19,169 pounds of lead ore, Severalof the principal Operatorson the Granby land have been running new drafts and doing other dead work and the output has dropped off, but it will soon be up to the average again, The Stilwell Mining Co.. operating on the Thousand Acre tract, has filed articles of in- corporation. Theincorporators are D., Par- ker, J. E. Stilwell and Clay Gregory. The capital stock is $50,000. The company is operating one of the best mines in the dis- trict. Thomas Kier, who has been prrospecting the old Pineard diggings for a year with little success, has at last struck a good body of jack and lead ore. The body has been pene- trated a distance of fifteen feet and shows up well. The Three Jacks Co,, operating on the Perry ten acres near thelerry forty at Car- terville has made a Dig strike of zinc ore ina drift, ata depth of 140 feet. In five days last week the company took out and washed up §2,000 pounds of ore. The outpeat this week wlll be nearly thirty tons. The English company on the Goff lease of the Dixon land, has strucka good body of lead and jack in its pump shaft at a depth of 150 feet. Another strike has been made ina drill bole at a depth of 100 feet. Lead was struck at 130 feet. Mr. Jeffreys, manager of the company, has gone to London, England, to confer withthe company and further in- vestments by tt in the district are expected. The Galena smelting works are running again. and the company shipped two car- loads of spelter this week. There Is little change in the ore markets this week. ‘The price of lead is low, the highest quotation of the week being $20 per thousanu. The average price of zinc ore is 22.50 strong. The top Is $24. A Week’s ARCHBISHOP RIORDAN’s VISIT. He Administers the Sacrament of Confir- mation at Maryville. Catholic circles, which are just now much agitated over the prospect of an early ap- pointment of a coadjutor to Archbishop Kenrick, found food for specula- tion yesterday in the announcement that Most Rev. Patrick W. Riordan, Arch- bishop of San Francisco, Cal., was in the city onhis way home from the Archieplsco- pal Conference in New York, He arrived here from Chicago Friday night, with his chaplain Rev. Fr. McSweeney, and they retired to rooms on the parlor floor of the Southern Hotel which had been reserved for them. The Archbishop was up as early as 7 o’clock yesterday morning and took a carriage fur the sacred Heart Convent, sieramec street and Nebraska avenue, where six young ladies were received into the order afew hours later. The Archbishop adminis- tered the sacrament of confirmation totwo little Chicago girls at the convent, for he was once the rector of a tashionabie Chicago church. He did not, however, stay for the reception, Dut hastenedfaway to pay visits to several Sst. Louis friends. Archbishop Riordan was in charge of a church in Maryville, Many years ago, and numbers among St. Loulsans many old ac- quaintances. He was not at bis rooms in the hotel during the greater part of the day, but when seen last night, previous to his departure for the Golden Gate, he said that his visit had no special significance and had nothing to’ do with the coadjutor- ship. Of course he pald a visit to Archbishop Kenrick during the Gay as a matter of cour- tesy. WHO KILLED COCK ROBINS? Game Protector Pond Says Parson Dixon Killed Twenty-six of Them.

The past fiVe weeks have indeed been record breakers for November business In real estate transactions. Ordinarily Novem- ber has been one of the dullest of the twelve, but last month was a great exception to the rule, Just as every other month of 1892 has been as compared with former years. There has been a large increase in the number of transfers filed for record, and the sales since since Nov. 1 amount to $5,504,101, over $1,000,- 000 a week. This is a gain of $3,231,817 over the business of November, 1891. The building interests, too, have been well up with the sale Of property. By the Builid- ing Commissioner’s menthly report for No- vember it is seen that he nas issued permits to make improvements estimated to cost $1,641,932, a gain of $707,232 over the corre- sponding active building month of last year. These statistics are evidence that while real estate is selling briskly during the late fall market the business is not of a speculative character, based upon anticipated or hoped for development to enhance values. From the growth in improvements as shown by the Building Commissioner it is seen that St. Louts Is bullding up faster and better than it ever did, and that is conclusive evidence that the money going into real estate is being put there for investment; permanent improve- ment rather than for speculative purposes.

The first ‘‘Letter-carrier Cou- pon’’ is printed in,this issue. It's goingto bea great race. The reason why is because every lettér-carrier has at least One good friend in every house in his district who will work for him in the contest. His faithful service in the performance of Guty has won him that friend. It’s the best way in the world to make good friends, and the postman haslots of friends made just that way. You can’t find in the city of St. Louis an equal number of men in any business or trade or profession who areas prompt, as untir- ing, as unfailing in the performance of duty as the letter-carriers. This is no refiection on any other class, it’s only a deserved tribute tothe gray-uniformed postmen, the men who come to your doors every day with letters, rain or shine. The Post-Disrpatcn proposes to pay this ‘well-deserved tribute to the letter-carriers of St. ioulsin a more tangible way than by mere praise for duty well performed, wel- come as such praise isto men who do their duty. It proposes to make a gift of $1,000 in gold to St. Louls letter-carriers, and it wants its readers to distribute that gift by voting forthe most popular letter-carrier in this city. That gives every one of them the fairest chance inthe world to win, and it _ gives their friends the best chance they will ever have to *‘stand up tor their postman’’ and show him that they appreciate the faith- ful work he has done for them. The contest will be confined to the St. Louis patrons ofthe Post-DispaTcu, because it is for the benefit of the letter-carriers of St. Louis. The gift of $1,000 in gold is to be made as follows: $500 in gold to the firat winner. $250 in gold to the second winner. $100 in gold to the third winner. $765 in gold to the fourth winner. $50 in gold to the fifth winner. $25 in gold to the sixth winner. Total $1,000 in gold. The contest opens to-day and closes March 4, 1893. The ‘‘Carriers’ Coupon’’ will be printed in every issue of the Post-DIsPaTcH from now until the closing date named. To vote for your carrier, clip outthe coupon, write his name in the space left for that purpose, and hand him the coupon thus filled out, or save the coupons and hand them in at the close of the contest. To insure perfect fairness in the contest, the Post-DIsPATcnu will not be sold in large quantities toany persons.save the regular newsdealers. As in the Children’s Christmas Contest, no effort will be spared to make everything entirely fair and square. **May the best man win,’’ isthe motto for the POsT-DisPpatcu ‘*Letter-Carriers’ Con- test,’’ and with that motto fora rallying cry the contest opens right now.

A CHANCE TO SHOW APPRECIATION OF FAITHFUL SERVICES. —_ * Great Interest Being Manifested in the Contest by All Classes—Rules Which Will Govern It—Why the Postmen Are Deservedly Popular With All Classes of People. Chat about the Christmas coupon contest is superseding the talk common at this time about the approaching holidays. The usual discussion about the purchase of toys gives way now to earnest conversation on the chances for winning some one of the coupon prizes. Then the talk rapidly passes on to what the prize money will buy. The little girls pick out just the kind of doll that will suit them, while the boys have their heart fixed on a sled or a pair of skates. Some contestants more mature than others are thinking of the pleasure they will bring to fathersor mothers by the present their coupon prize will assist them to buy. In the thousands of homes reached every night by the PosT- DISPATCH the coupon contest is the great topic for discussion either at the supper table or later, when the family circle gathers round the fireside. Even in homes where the merryprattie of little ones is wanting, there are ties of Kindred or friendship that turn the thoughts of the grown folksto their little friends who are among the army of coupon clippers. As the contest advances many beautiful and striking incidents of thoughtfulness and charity come to light. The letters sent to this office every day by the contestants are an interesting study and give a very interesting view ofthe kKindliness of heart among the younger generation. The letters published to-day will make interesting read- ing for both old and young. For the information of every one the con- ditions of the contest are again given. PRIZES AND CONDITIONS. There are 102 presents, amounting to ex- actly $1,000,to be distributed. They are as follows: One Present of 8100. Two Presents of 850 Each. Four Presents of 825 Each. Ten Presents of $15 Each. Twenty-five Presents of $10 Each. Sixty Presents of $5 Each. The coupons must reach the Post-DIsPpaTcH by, or before,9 o’clock on the evening of Dec. 22.

The two next largest will get $50 each in gold, The four nextlargest will get $25 each in gold, The ten next largest will get $15 each in gold, The twenty-five next largest will get $10 each in gold.

Send in your couponsin one batch on the last day of the contest. Due notice will be given before the close of the contest of the place appointed"tfor the re- ceipt of coupons. No one is barred from the competition, especially appeals to boys and girls. Out-of-town contestants will have equal chances with St. Louis. Collection of coupons may be made by clubs or individuals. No conditions are made gov- erning this point. No person connected with the Post-Dis- PATCH Will be permitted to contest or take any part in the collection of coupons for con- testants. No person will be permitted to buy papers by the wholesale from which toclip coupons towards the close of the contest. The contest closes at 9 o’clock p. m. Dec. 22. No coupons received after that hour will be counted. Coupons collected by clubs must be sent in under one name. The ‘‘Christmas Coupon’’ will appear in every issue of the PosT- DISPATCH until the contest closes, Among the letters received at the office are the following: NO POOLING. The following letter calls attention to an important feature of the letter carriers’ con- test: : St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 2, 1892. 70 the Post- Dispatch: Since you have made the announcement of your ‘*Letter “arriers’ Prize Contest,’’ 1 have learned that there is to be acombine among the letter car- riers atthe central office. Theiridea is to secure the four prizes by combining their collections of ballots for four different candidates and afterwards dividing the prizes among the entire number of the central office carriers. I learimed this from our carrier when I offered to save the baiiotse for him. He declined my offer thankfully, saying he had no interest in the contest as his chances in the face of such competition would be slight. Where will the contest come in ifthisis allowed? There will be no such a thing asindividual rivairy to your ideaif this will betolerated. Why not let the most popular letter carrier win the first prize, and so on SUBSCRIBEB It is within the power of each contestant and the subscribers to absolutely prevent pooling, as suggested in this letter. On the presentation of proof that two or more carriers have pooled their vote all votes will be thrown out and the prizes awarded to the next in order, without regard to the vote cast for the pool members or anyone who participates in the pool. It will be absolutely impossible to pool votes if the readers will fill out their Dallot inink. Any attempt to change the names and numbers on the ballot will be apparent, and all such ballots will be cast aside. Every precaution will be taken to make this contest perfectly fair to every carrier participating. Autumn Leaves. From the Doll’s Dressmaker. One sweet day in the long, long ago.

The Pacific Coast is said to have 10,000,000 bu more wheat than last year. New Orleans cleared yesterday 52,000 bu wheat to Liverpoo! and 112, 000 bu to Falmouth. In Oct 2,590.000 poods of grainor equaito about 1,520,000 bu were exported from Sevastopol. Estimates are fo. 1,000,000 bu increase in the next visible of wheat. One year 4c0 it decreased 1,- 588,000 bu. Bradstreet’s available supply of wheat east of the Rockies, 92,766,000 bu, and west 10,665,000, a total of 103,431,400 bu. English farmer's deliveries for week 53,975 ars at at 27s, against 68,216 qrs at 278 last week and 84,920 qrsat18s l1ld for corresponding week last year. The clearing of wheat and flour from both coasts for the week were equal to 4,550,000 bu, against 3,- 465,000 bu last week and 5,662,000 bu for corre- sponding week last year. Burlington officials say their advices this morning from the corn section indicate a material increase in the movement of that grain tomarket. They also predict a continued free movement of wheat from Nebraska. Weather conditions to-day—Rain and snow con- tinue inthe Lake regions and the Northeastern States. Light rain also occurred in Kastern Missouri, southern Illinois and the valleys of the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers. Fair weather prevailed in all other sec- tions. Itiscolder than yesterday in the Central vaileys and Minnesota, warmer inthe extreme North- west. Forecast for Missouri and Southern Illinois: Fair; warmer Sunc«ay. Dornbusch says - British possessions of foreign wheat and flour already in granaries or else on the high seas mount up to 54,648,000 bu, being 14,000,- OOO bu greater than at corresponding date in 1891 / and about 16,000,000 over the ——— of 1890. Is | is to be feared that the unwonted circumstances of this seasod militate against the — absorption of our giant stocks. Mild weather, cheap potatoes and an abundance of green vegetables unquestionably leseen the consumption of bread, notwithstanding the low price. The Bourse Gazette of St. Petersburg yy that the surplus of wheat remaining for export is 51.571,000 bu and rye 35,152,700 bu. Thesurplus of wheat with the amount already exported makes 104,000,- 000 bu. Asthecrop was 256,432,000 bu by official estimates, the balance for home use is 157,000,000. The surplus of rye with the quantity already shipped makes 38,000,000 bu, which being deducted from the crop of 701,558,000 bu leaves 663,000,000 bu for home use. Prime’s weekly bulletin is devoted chiefly to corn and is very bullish. The yield is disappointing in every way and falling below former estimates. Stock feeders buying freely and paying best prices. Hay scarce and high. Millis report liberal sales of mill feed to farmers, but flourtrade slow. Winter wheat needing moisture and protection by snow. Ground bare and frozen hard, but favorable con- ditions otherwise. Freezing and- thawing make bad roads and no grain ofany kind moving towards rail- road stations. Dornbusch of Nov. 19 says: Thejgeneral tenor of our advices from India isin favor of the coming wheat crop: the seed was sown under circumstances which practically insured a good start for the plant, and with normal weather inthe nextfew monthsa full harvest should result; meantime the outlook is too uncertain to form a basisfor com mercial action. Trade up country and at the seaboard is exceedingly quiet for both wheat and seed, and shipments con- tinue moderate. The London Corn Trade List (Beerbohm’s) of Nov. 19, inits review of the British grain trade, says: **There is no change to note in the general position of the trade; nor has any special new feature pre- sented itself during the past week. Millers general- ly hold large stocks, onthe ground that at the pres- ent level of prices, the margin of possible loss ought to be reduced to a minimum. It is, however, weary work waiting for an tiinprovement so long expected, and apparently as far off as ever. lerhaps the best featureis that the con- sumptive demandis somewhat increasing, as is, of course, natural with theclose approach of winter; but both Russia and America are still sending more wheat (and flour) to the importing countries than the latter require fortheir present needs; while in the United States the visibie supply east of the Rocky Mountains now reaches the enormous bulk of 87,000,000 bu. The perpetual presence,so to speak, of this huge quantity, acts asa veritable drag upon the market, and is additienaily depressing from the fact that it not only af- fords a certainty that the European de- mand, for some time at least, can be easily met, but it is also evidently causing Kussia to hurry forward a greater proportion of her available surplus than usual, with the result that in the four months from Sep 1 to Dec 3l we shall have to carry a larger pro- portion of the season’s total supply than usual. Perhaps the only matter for satisfaction in this connection is that these supplies are being |, obtained at extraordinarily low prices, thus at any rate greativy reducing the chances of future losses. Among the continental importing countries Italy now takes the largest proportion, and the fact that | these very low prices do not tempt the usually shrewd French importers is taken as an indication that France wiil need to import relatively avery smal] quantity thes year. it has fre- | quently been stated in these columns that the very large consignments of American flour of the undue de- pression in the wheat trade; inthis connection, therefore, itis a significant fact that a large Minne- apvlis milling companyds reducing its output by one- | half for ‘‘iack ef demand.’ A similar course of aciion by other Ameriean millers would lead to hap- pyY results both for the Americanand English mill- ers, forthere is no doubt about the overproduction of flour in the United States.

WHY IT FAILS Press Criticism Cools the Ardor _ Of the Brussels Delegates. ; ; Wo Decisive Action Probable at the Monetary Conference. WOREIGNERS STAGGERED BY THE TORE OF THE NEW YORK PRESS. They Regard What Is Said asa Reflex of American Sentiment—Earon Roths- child Interviewed by the Post-Dis- patch Correspondent—He Praises the Procedure of the United States Dele- gates—What Senator Jones Says in Answer to Newspaper Criticism. BRUSSELS, Dec. 8.—If the International Monetary Congress adjourns without arriv- ing ata definite result, its failure will, ina great measure, be due to the attitude of the American press. or ratherto that portion of it with which Europe is acquaintea. To Epropeans New York represents the United States far more fully than London represents England to Americans. Such press com- ments as have reached Europe are from New York. These have . been most damaging to the cause whichthe Amer- ican Gelegates are championing. Europeans do not understand the wide difference in the character of the press of the two countries. Every utterance of the English and conti- fhental press on the work of the Congress Is of the most conservative character. Foreign Gelegates to the congress, after reading their Own press, are staggered by the comments of the American press. What isthe natural re- suit? They can only ask, ‘‘If the United States are dissatisfied with the action of their own delegates, why should other coun- tries be satisfied?’’ There is no doubtthat but for the unmis- takable worth of some of the American dele- gates the American delegation would be ut- terly discredited. Yet most of its members have nothing to regret. They have won the respect of the congress, and even in the pro- cedure have acted like lifelong diplomatists. It is impossible to say now if the congress will take decisive action or when it will ad- gourn, but I think its life will be short. Yesterday’s report by the committee on which Mr. Henry W. Cannon represented the United States was most unsatisfactory to the American delegates. The latter did not want Mr. Cannon on the committee, but the for- eigners did, as they understood he wasa New York banker. Then again the report was printed in French, and most of the American Gelegates do not understand French, Vice- President Torrell read the report but when he came to translate it was in difficulties, at which the continentals laughed and the Americans blushed. In the speech it followed Americans took little or no part. How could they? They could not well speak on areportthat they did not under- stand. As Senator Jones explained: ‘ily French was neglected in my youth, but I have known —— fools to speak in eight lan- guages.’* Somebody cried out, ‘*‘Why did not the Americans speak to the question?’’ How could they until they understood the question? To dosothe nextday was atrifie te. Rothschild isa marked man. Wherever he goes he is pointed out by those who know him to those who donot know him, and is then stared at more orless openly. There is nothing extravagant about his personal ap- rance, quite the other way.

The first man he saw was Kothschild, who carried an umbrella ora walking stick. He wore atop hatand paid no attention to the rain, which seemed not to know Roths- child. The correspondent joined him. He smiled and sald: ‘*The American press does not seem to like proposal. Do you know why?’’ @ only comments seen on this side of the Atiantic are from the New York press, and New York is but/a small partof the United States.’’ **Rothschild smiled again and does not consider that.’’ **The New York press is not more dissatis- fied with your plan than with the action of the American delegates.’’ a urprise me,’’ he said. ‘*‘What do they want?

"How, can they ex n dele on t tyect of thelr mission here if they dis- ted the other a ae eat oysters, and * tes to the and The which he is not so much in need of, you first find out what he wants.’’ **We invited the principal governments of the world to meet in monetary congress. We wanted international bimetallism. They did not. it was business as well as courtesy on our part to ask them what they wanted, when wecould not lose by finding out what they proposed to do before we offered our pian. The procedure, if nothin else, compelled us to adopt this course. Then, we are puton our word of honor not to reveal what takes place at the conference. We keep our word. The course is not of our doing, but once agreed upon we _ stick to it. Correspondents want informa- tion. They get none regarding do- ings of the congress from the American delegates. Their reports say nothing to the disadvantage of the other delgates. Only the American delegates suf- fer,and we suffer from the press of the country, IfI was attarked in a personal way it would enter one ear and go. out the other, Dut this is not a personal matter, It involves the Well being of the world. The English press may not bave liked Roths- childa’s plan, but its comments have been conservative and thoughtful. Some continental newspapers may not have liked it, but they have not been abusive. The only newspapers that have attacked the delegates are American, and, with the exception of Rothschild, the only delegates attacked are American. Wearenot here to tellthe delegates of the European nations whatthey want. They know thelr govern- ments’ wants better than we do. **We donot presume to teach them. We want international bimetallism. They may not want it, but, if not, there may be some- thing approaching it to which they may not object. But when weare doing our best for our country, the American press steps In and derides our efforts. What can you expect other delegates acquainted with the com- ments of the American press will think? The result Is inevitable. **They must say to each other that we do not seem to be of the same mind as the coun- try which we represent. They do not under- stand that the comments they have seen do notrepresent the sentiment of the ma- jority of the American people. It is not proper treatment. European newspapers do not put themselves on record without having @ foundation. American newspapers, in this case, have not waited for accurate in- formation. This would have been given haa we been permitted.’’ **W hat are the delegates doing now?’’ The Senator answered: ‘‘Well, we ad- journed yesterday until Tuesday. We are now finding out what our governments want, We do not propose to tell them what they want, because I think they know better than wedo. Wesimply ask, what do you want? You know what we want, international bi- metallism. If you do not want that, is there not something akin that will be satisfac- tory?’’ ‘“*When do you think the congress will ad- journ?’’ **I do not look for a long session.’’ **Will there be any definite result?’’ **ITcannot tell. The outlook Is not encour- aging. I want to say this, however. “ome American newspapers 100k upon Rothschiid as the Deus ex machina, So far as Allison and myself are con- cerned I want to say that I never said more than good morningto him in my. life, except when 1 asked him where his house “was,asilbad a letter of credit on it for enough money to grease the wheels for the time being, and I know that Senator Allison has not had anything more to say to Roths- child than I have.’’ It will be seen from both interviews that the attitude of the American press creates general surprise, and that partly for that reason the chance of a definite result on the part of the congress is very remote. In the meantime the ‘*work’’ as Senator Jones puts it *‘is yery aull.’’ This means that he and most of his confreres have lost hope. ELECTED NEW OFFICERS. The St. Louis French Chamber of Com- merce Compslled to Reorganize. Subject toacall issued by President Emile Karst, the members of the s&t. Loults French Chamber of Commerce met at the Lindell Hotel last night for the purpose of effecting a reorganization, by requestofthe French Government. The latter part of October a Sst. Louls French Chamber of Commerce was organized in this city for he purpose of establishing closer relationship between the Chambers of Commerce vf Paris andthe St. Louls Cham.- ber of Commerce, the organization conslst- ing of some filty members of French descent and native Frenchmen. Officers were elected and a permanent organization was ef- fected, alter which the minutes of the meeting were forwarded to the French Minister at Paris. On Tuesday ofiast week an official document was received by Mr. Karst from the French authorities to the effect that unless all the officers were native Frenchmen and were yetcitizens of France,the Fren¢h Govern- ment could not officially recognize the body in any business transactions. This informa- tion caused Mr. Karst tocall the members of the Chamber of Commerce together at the Lindell last light, when the matter was lald before them. Aftera three hours’ discussion, new officers and a Boara of Directors were elected. Mr. Emilie Karst, ex-rrench Consul, resigned the Presidency, aiter which the following officers were chosen: President, Ff. L. Ohmann; Vice-President, J. H. Chassaing; Secretary, Alfred D. Ver- vins; Treasurer, Kk. 5S. Guignon. French Consul L. Sequenot was elected hon- orary President anda A. Adufoux, E. harst and Gabriel Bouvier were elected as a Board of Directors, after which the meeting adjourned subject to the callof President Ohmann. ‘‘We proceeded in our Organization somewhat hurriedly,’’ said Mr. Karst, and as a consequence we had to do allof our work overagain. I have taken out naturalization papers myself, and am consequently not citl- zen of France, hence to comply with the request of the French authorities I had to resign the Presidency. In fact there was a change madeinall the offices andthe Board of Directors, but we have now re- organized according tothe dictation of the French Government and will con- sequently be recognized as official repre- sentative in all dealings between the Chamber of Commerce of St. Louls and the French Chamber in Paris.’’ As Secretary Vervins has considerable cor- respondence before him with the French authorities, tnforming the French Minister of the nature of the meeting last night and setting forth what was accomplished in ex- ecutive session, another meeting will not be beid until the latter part of January. THE LOYAL LEGION. Ladies’ Evening Postponed—Reception to Gen. E. A. Carr. Last night was theevening usually regarded as ladies’ evening by the companions of the military order of the Loyal Legion, it having for years been the custom to invite the wives and families of members to the monthly banguet held on the first Saturday in December. But owing to the fact that the ladies had been invited to attend the banquet ofthe Army ofthe Tennessee last month, it was determined to postpone ladies’ evening for a month. Instead of being heid at the Lindell Hotel, the meeting took phace in the club rooms in the Laclede Bullding. Several new members were ad- mitted and routine business was transacted. A collation was then served and an informal reception tendered Gen, Eugene A. Carr, who was the first commander of the Missour! Commandery. Tne Loyal Legion singing school was out In full force, and sang a num.- ber of the old war songs. Among those resent were Col. John B. Gandolfo, Col. ‘elson Cole, Col. J. G, Butler, Col. J. F.

They Were Also of One Mind in Their Op- position to Cahenslyism — They Last Year Wrote a Joint Letter Protesting Against Cahensly’s Theories—General . Religicus News. New YorkK, Dec. 3.—Bishop Wigger thinks he bas done his duty in stmmoning Fr. Pat- rick Corrigan of Hoboken to appear before an ecclesiastical court to answer for the pub- lic criticisms on the late German Congress and his commentson the Bishop’s methods of administering the affairs of the Newark Diocese. The Bishop will not talk on the snbject now and will not see any reprerenta- tiveswof the press. Fr. Corrigan was away all day yesterday and could not be seen. The other priests of the diocese refuse to say any- thing about the matter. The ‘‘Machia- velli’’ refprred to by Fr. Corrigan in his let- ter published yesterday is Mgr. De Concillo, the priest at St. Michael’s, Jersey City. He has been intimately associated with Bishop Wigger for years. Hé denies that he ex- pected an appointment to the Vicar-Gen- eralship. A representative of the Post- DISPATCH called at the Archiepiscopal residence, Madison avenue and Fiftieth street to-day and obtained from the Rev. James N. Connelly, the private secretary of Archbishop Corrigan, the following state- ment regarding Fr. Corrigan’s letter. *‘*Without going into the merits of the case I desire to refer to one paragraph in Fr. Oorrigan’s letter. It reads: ‘Archbishop Cor.iganand Bishop Wigger were not on speaking terms for years until Cahenslyism united them against Archbishop Ireland and Cardinal Gibbons.’ The assertion that Bishop Wigger and Archbishop Corrigan were not on speaking terms fos years is entirely false, With regard to the sec- ond point in the paragraph I wish to say that Bishop Wigeger, Cardinal Gibbons, Arch- bishop Ireland and Archbishop Corrigan have always been of the same mind with regard to what is called Cahenslyism. A few facts will confirm how true this is and show that they have never disagreed in any way on this sub- ject, but were always of one mind. Bisbop Wiggerandad Archbishop Corrigan last year wrote in their own names and in the name of the St. Raphael Society of New York to Mr. Cahensly, protesting against the peculiar theories known as Cahenslyism. Infact Arch- bishop Corrigan wrote twice personally to Mr. Cahensly on timt point and long before the archbishop had already ex- pressed the same views. Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Williams of Boston, Archbishop Ryanof Philadelphia, Archbishop Elder of Cincinnatiand Archbishop Corrigan of New York met on Dec. 17, 1886. At their reqtfest Archbishop Oorrigan prepared a letter in thelr name and in his own addressed tothe Holy See, protesting agatiist such projserts as have since become known by the name of Cahenslysm. Archbishop Ireland, who was then in Rome, considered the letter so val- uable that he cabled to Archbishop Corrigan fora copy of it, and gave itthe first place in the memortaldrawnup by him and Bishop Kean onthe subject and presented to the lioly See. ‘*‘Tast year at the meeting of the arch- bishops in st. Louis a committee, composed of Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishops Ireland and Corrigan, was appointed to write again on this subject. The letter was draughted under the direction of Archbishop Corrigan and presented to the Sovereign Pontill. ‘*From this it is easy to see that there is no authority whatsoever for the statement that Cahenslyism had ever divided Cardinal Gib- bons, Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Wigger and Archbishop Corrigan. They have always been of one mindon this subject, noris the Episcopate ofthe United States in any sense divided. ‘the spirit of unity and charity happily prevails among all the Dishops throughout the country.’’ The trial of Fr. Corrigan will be begun Dec. 12. Fr. Corrigan’s letters published in various newspapers and an anonymous amphilet alleged to have been sent out by im will be used as the Dasis of the prosecution. Inasmuch as Fr. Corrigan is the pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Grace in Hoboken, probably ‘the largest parish in the hierarchy of the Roman Oatholic Churchin the United States, the trial will excite more than ordinary interest. Outside of that will exist the vexed questions ofthe Roman Catholics to the public schools of this country. When the German Catholic Congress was held in Newark a short time ago it wasexpected that a rupture would thenoccur. The introduction of bills into the Legislature of some of the Western States regulating the public school system had so exercisedthe Catholics that they made it a political question in conjunc- tion with the German Lutherans. Wisconsin avd Illinois were the States to _§ feel it most, but the movement started by Herr Cahensly was so strong that certain Catholics, of whom Fr. Corrigan is now the recognized leader, have decided to settle once for ail the question of sacer- dotal relationship to the civic government of the United States. In bringing Fr. Corrigan to trialfor disrespect to his bishop, Bishop Wigger says he is influenced only by the de- sire to show that he has not been governed by any but the purest motives. Fr. Cor- rigan will contend that as an American priest he is privileged to criticise move- ments that ne may consider un- American. He refused to discuss’ the question to-day and said that he was perfectly willing to abide by the decision of the highest court ‘*What is the was asked. ‘**The Vatican.’’ **Do you expect that thecase will be car- ried up to the Vatican?’’ **You must really excuse me. I have, it seems, written andtalked enough to satisfy everyone. I will have to remain for the pre:- ent behind what I have already publicly said.*’ It is known and currently talked about among Catholic priests of the archi- episcopal diocese that the prelimin- ary trial of Fr. Corrigan before Bishop Wigger will result in the most celebrated ecclesiastical inquiry this country ever had. ‘*Fr. Corrigan is not alone in this dis- pute,’’ said a Catholic priest of New York, yesterday. ‘‘Every priest who is nota Ger man, is wkhh Fr. Corrigan. He is simply he leader in a movement that has come nd that must have come. The only reason that the congress in Newark of German- American Catholics did not indorse Cahens- lyism was because Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Corrigan put their feet down on it. That congress was a meeting of German-American Catholics from all over the country, presided by German priests and conducted the German language. Itis no new thing to us that the Germfians were trying to inculcate their fatheriand ideas and prejutices into the young of their flock. When a delexation went to Rome and recelved the appoint- ment of a bishop in this coun tor the primary reason that he was a German, to an observing priest it was patent that there would be some trouble.’’ ‘highest court, Father!’’ he 1 priests and bishops of this country are in thoroughvaccord with the Institutions of the country except the few who wish to instill into the young a love for the home their fathers abandoned.’’ **What will be the resultif Fr. Corrigan is found guilty of disrespect to Bishop Wigger?’’ ‘*He can take an appeal to Archbishop Corrigan, and if Arclibishop Corrigan de- cides that the court was right he can appeal to Rome,.’’ **Do you think he will do that?’ ‘*Yes; and every priest outside ofa certain aw, will insist upon him makingthe ap- peal.’ BRIGGS HERESY CASE, CURIOSITY AROUSED AS TO THE DOCTOR’S FUTURE ACTION. New York, Dec. 8.—The trial of the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Briggs, professor of biblical theology in Uuion Theological Seminary, on the charge of heresy, Will be continued on Monday afternoon before the New York Presbytery in the Scotch Presbyterian Church, Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street. Some curiosity Is feltas to the course Dr. Briggs willtakeon Monday. On Thurs- day when the preliminary objections of the accused had all been disposed of, the pro- ceedings declated to be in order and the charges and _ specifications as amended by the . Presbytery considered sufficient to put the accused on his trial, Dr. Briggs pleaded not guilty. Then came the first real surprise of the trial. The presby- tery, bya narrow majority, had overruled Dr. Briggs’ objection to the committee being permitted to put in evidence by the wholesale, that is, several or his bog@ks, the standards of the church and the holy Scriptures, without pointing out what parts of them they relied on to prove their case, or reading those parts, Consequently, a8 soon as Dr. Briggs pleaded, and the committee of prosecution was called on to submit their evidence, they simply submitted copies of - the famous inaugural address, first and second editions, all the works of the accused quoted therein, insofar as they bear on the case; the appendix tothe second edition ofthe said address and all the worksof the accused quoted therein so. far as thev bear on the case, the whole of the holy- scriptures and the whole of the standards ofthe Presbyterian Church. Col. \icCook of the committee just read off the titles of the several Dooks, etc.,and they were admitted in evidence and by vote de- clared to be competent evidence. The committee then siinply called on the accused to submit his evidenee, Some ofthe members of thejudicatory asked how they were to passon the merits ofthc case without either having read or being able to examine it for themselves. Col, MCCOOK said thatthe members could exam- ine the filed copies, or he would take upa subscription and purchase coples for the members of the udicatory. Dr. Briggs demanded that th evidence sub- mitted by the prosecution be read. This was denied and then an adjournment was taken until Monday to give the accused an oppor- tunity to decide what he would do. A prominent memberof the Presbytery, when asked this morning what course he thought Dr. Briggs would pursue, said: ‘‘it seems to me that the only course for vr. Brigg totake isto adopt the same tactics as the prosecution. It is not to be ex- pected In common fairness that he should be compelled to putin defense before the committee have fairly stated their case. In the natural order of things Dr. Briggs can have no evidence, so called, te put in. His defense must naturally consist of argument to show that he nas nit deen xgulity of the offenses charged. This he can only do by explaining his writings and giving his in- terpretation of the Seriptures whérein they are alleged to differ frym the standards. This cannot well do urtil he knows what passages of Scripture the comimnit- tee declares ongly inter- preted “tr : : therefore, rely on hisown works It ems to me that the only course for him to pursue Is to submit all his works, as well as the script- uresand the standards, in evidence in his own behalf; and so compel the coimittee to state their case. If he should do this, the mere reading of the titles of ali his works would occupy a couple of hours, and reading the contents, if he should insist on doing so, would take many weeks at the rate of three hours day. Ihe first week of the trial has resulted in a very decided gain for Dr. Briggs. His two princi- pal objections were sustained and the two new cuarges stricken out; the Presbytery bas ordered that a separate vote be taken on every individual offense alleged, which wil! spilt the committee’s six charges up into twelve or more, and the commlttee has heen @irected to transfer ali the scriptural citations from the specifications to the charges which will prevent an im- proper use being made ofthem tothe disad- vantage of the accused. So that thus far, really, the proceedings have been favorable to Dr. LBriggs.’’ a REV. SAMUEL M’CLEARY MISSING.

From the best description giveéh she is believed to be Miss, Lizzie Wylie of 102 National avenue, this. ~ Ys MIS +2. an = : lives atthe above number, has récelved a dispatch from relatives in San Diego which-> seems to identify the dead irl as her daughter. The description of her clothing tallies closely with that worn by Ligzie Wylie when she left here somes fivé or six weeks ago. Miss Wylie lived with her mother, a widow, and a brother and sister May. The two gliris worked together for Winn & Hammond, but were laid off tn September because of dull business. Lizzie became despondent and severaltimes remarked to her people that she would not remain in Detroit doing nothing. She spoke then of going even as far as California, if necessary, to seek employment. This was a few weeks be- fore her disappearance. She madea long visit to her married sisterin Grand Rapids, whose nameis Anderson, *and returned six week ago. Five weeks ago last Monday she went out, ostensibly to go down town on an errand, and never returned. It was certain that Lizzie ] must have gone away penniless, and it soon became evident to her relatives that her er- rand was not to secure work, and that she had not gone alone. Ona little investigation they discovered that John G. Longfield, a prominent married man who had formerly been employed as foreman by Winn & Hammond, had also als- appeared. He had been calling on Lizzie occasionally, but was regarded by the fam ily merely as a friend, not as a lover. On the Saturday previous to Lizzie’s disap- pearance this man called in the afternoon at:the Wylie home and bid all of them good- bye. Mrs. Wylie and May noticed nothing pecullar in his demeanor nor that of Lizzie. He said he was going into the South and that he would probably reach Southern California before he returned. His call was briefand it was not the subject of much remark in the Wylie household. [It is now remembered that soon after his de- parcure Lizzie put on her hat and went out. After halfan hour she returned. Probably during that thirty minutes she met the man and arranged for the elopement or conveyed her clothing to an appointed place. When she failed to return op Monday it was found that ail of her scanty wardrobe was gone, Mr. Winn, of the firm of Winn & Hammond, says that the relations of Longfield and Lizzie Wylie, who were together much at the fac- tory and on the outside, began to create a scandalamongthe other employes as long as a year ago. Mr. Winn often thougnt of discharging the girl, but did not want to have a row with Longfield, as he had the hiring of bis own help. About two months ago Vir. Winn hired a new foreman and then discharged Longfleld. Longfield was last heard of in 8t. Louls.

No cracked foolishness. No roundabout trickery, bat the assurance and fearless assertion that she is here to do the people good and doan honor to the tirre- proachable cause of CLAIRVOYANCE. She ts here to convince you that Ciairvoyance is not « pickpocket scheme, as you have so often found it, but a light that shineth in darkness to set the people aright and guide them through the wanderings of this life. ’Tis true that MEDIUMSHIP in all its phases has been too often dragged in the mire by persons of large presumptions and littie conscience, who, though they do not possess the precious jewels themselves, flash the worthless thing thatis a poor imitation in the face of the public and seli it for the highest penny—whieh ac , before man and a higher tribunal, is a faring hypocrisy ana unlicensed theft. Be deluded, if you will, by high-sounding, unin- telligible phrases, which confound themselves by their own contradiction, be misied by trashy stuff called **science,’’ and which does not understand iteelf. All science is a problem, the pod of which interprets itself. Any science the expoun: er of which does not understand it herself or is an accuser to the expounder, @ catch—anything. Madame separated, brings lovers together, locates mines, hidden treasures, lost or stolen articles, causes speedy marriages, etc. Come, and you will find that many burdens that you bring in with you at the door are left behind in the shadows of the past; that you will go out feeling like q new person, Knowing what is good and best for you, and in possession of the secret of your love, life and’ success. Don’t fail to secure one of her magic Egyptian charms for your future success. Terms moderate. Opendally, evenings and Sunday. Let- ters containing stamps answered. _ 2641 Olive 81. MEDIUM. MRS. DR.

Canada Indulged in Sharp Practice With Uncle Sam. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8.—The formal preliminary steps in regard to the Behring Sea tribunal of arbitration, which is to meetin Paris on the 28d of February next, were taken by the President on behalf of the United States to-day. He signed the commissions\of Judge John W. Harlan of Kentucky, Associate Justice ofthe Supreme ,- and Senator — — —— of sa. Dama, asthe two arbitrators on the part o the United. States, and of John W. Foster, the present Secretary of State. as agent for the United States before the ar- bitration tribunal. Under the terms of the treaty, the case of each government was de- livered Sept. 1, and the countercases of each side should have been delivered some time ago. Itis said to bea carefully suppressed state secret, not hinted at till now, that the whole proceedings ofarpitration came very near being broken off by the United States on account of the failure to present the British (or Canadian) counter case contemporaneously with the counter-case which the United States itself sumbitted in faith promptly on time. It is said that Siicaass days cable messages were exchanged between the two Governments which, when called for, as they probably will be, by a Sen- ate resolution of inquiry, will make mighty interesting reading, provided they can be made public without injury to the public service. However, the dunger of breaking off the negotiations, once soimminent, it is now understood, is happily tided over, and anextension of time has been granted for filing counter cases till Feb. 8 next, and the arbitrators will meet in Paris, Feb. 23. The stipulations with regard to the deliv- of the cases and counter cases of each government are contained in the fourth article of the treaty of Feb. 29 last. This pro- vides that ‘‘within three months after the delivery on both sides of the printed case, . r party may, in like manner, deliver in duplicate to each of the said arbitrators and to the agents of the other party, a counter ease and additional documents.’’ itis further ded that if*‘in consequence the place from which evtdence istance Oo hes be presented either party shall, within thirty days after the receipt of thecase of the , give notice that it requires ad- ee ere for the delivery of the counter sy ch additional pime seat not exceeding shall be allowed. art of the ge States, it complaint ofthe ~ ere.

BOTTLING A SPIRIT. by Telegraph From the Other World. MUSKEGON, Mich., Dec. 8.—George Francis Dobson, a prominent Splritualist, has per- fected a scheme by which he hopes at death to be able to prove positively to those still in & material state that his spirit exists after its separation from the body. He went to Pittsbuurg ashort time ago and obtaineda large glass cylinder, so constructed that it can be sealed air-tight in a moment’s time. In this cylinder he has suspended with fine copper wire two pieces of light metalso that they can be brought in contact with each other the slightest motion of the air shut in the cylinder. These wires pass through the cylinder, one being connected witha battery and the other with a telegraphic instrument. He has made arrangements for his friends at his death, and just before the spirit leaves his body to seal him in_e the cylinder that his spirit may be prevented from taking its departure and atthe time, enabled by a series of systematic disturb- ances of the air within the cylinder, to communicate with his friends through the telegraphic instrument. AS dying with consumption the will probably not have long to for the test of hisexperiment. Ifthe exper- iment proves successful his friends are pledged, after three days, to unseal the cylinder and allow the spirittodepart and then to seal up and bury the remains. SENATOR GIBSON SINKING. News Entertained of His Re- covery. HoT SprinGs, Ark., Dec. 8.—Senator Gibson is reported as rapidly sinkingto-night. There has been very little, if any, change in his condition for twodays past until late this evening, whena change for the worse came and what the physicians style ‘‘alarming symptoms’’ setin. His condition is now cer- tainly precarious, and hisfriends and rela- tives who are with him Delleve that this change is the beginning of the end. He has been attacked with smothering spells at in- tervals during the day, and it has required the constant attention a skilled physician at his bed- side to prevent him from dying with these attacks of acute heart failure. Senator Gibson’s chances for recovery have been dissipated by this change for the worse, as he is extremely weak and has prac- tically existed on stimulants for several days =. His relatives and friends have lost ope and believe to-night that the states- man’s tenure of life on this ;earth is brief. It would not be surprising ifhis death is an- nounced before morning. But Little Hope For Boston’s Poor. Boston, Dec. 8.—The recent death of Mrs. Ashton at Turnbridge, Cheshire, England, has brought to Boston the distribution of a munificent legacy among the r of this city. The income is $600,000 from the in- vested property of Elisha Vinto# Ashton, a Bostonian who married an Eng)'sh lady an Gied in London in 1884. The mdney isto be red equally among twenty-eight well- wo ton ties, covéring a wide RUBSAM’S MONEY. A Divorced Wife and Her Son Want a Share. New YorK, Dec. 8.—The death of Joseph Rubsam, the wealthy brewer of Staten Island, is likely to resultina sensation quite like to that which has followed the death of other millionaires. Mr. Rubsam, when he died two years ago, was worth between $3,000 ,000 and $4,000,000 and his heirs, under the will which was found, were principally distant rel- atives, who it Is alleged were not on the most friendly terms with the deceased. Joseph Rubsam ts said to bea sonof the deceased, and itis alleged, he has engaged lawyers to press his case. The lawyers say they have a second will made by the rich brewer, which leavesthe bulk ofthe estate to the son Joseph. ‘the will of Joseph Rubsam was so made that his estate was divided into three parts, one third was left to Emily Rubsam, whomj the testator recognized as his widow; another third was left to an adopted child, ;:now about 15 years of age, living with Emily Rub- sam, while the remainder of the estate was bequeathed to Damien Rubsam, a brother of the testator, ‘who livesin Fulda, Germany. Objections were filed tothis will by Barbara Rubdsam, a woman who came from Newaok, N. J., to Staten Island and alleged that Joseph Rubsam was her husband.and that by him she had asonwhoborethe same name. It appears that in 1858, while Mr. Rubsam was employed in John Kress’ brewery, he became ac- quainted with the woman who called herself Barbara Rubsam, and she saysthat he mar- ried her in the year of thelr meeting. In May, according to the developments, a dl- vorce was granted to Mr. Rubsam, which permitted him to marry again, but denied this privilege to his wife. Brewer Kumsam never recognized the child, who is now grown up to ve a young man. About two years after Rubsam obtained the divorce he was married to the woman whom in his will he recognized as his widow. Notwithstanding the fact that the contestant was pro- hibited by the court, she married another man and declared that she knew absolutely nothing about the divorce proceedings. At the time she typed in the case two years ago she alleged that the testator had been of unsound mind and that undue influence was exercised over him when he made the will. The executors of the original will were August Hormann, the business partner of the testator; Wim. Leicht of New Jersey, and Mrs. Emily Rubsam. The firm of which he was a member was known as that of RubdDsam & Hormann and is one of the leading houses of its kind on Staten Isiand, where there are a half dogeninal. He came to this country from Germany and op arriving here was a poor man. e obtained employment ina brewery, and finally managed to start In business for himself. His energy and busi- ness ability were sufficient toenable him to accumulate alarge fortune. At the present time the wife recognized under that will ts living at Stapleton, where she is prominent in the fashionable German colony. Entertainment for Working Girls.

Louls and Washington Uni- Versities met on the gridiron fleld for the first time in many years yesterday afternoon at Sportsman’s Park. The Washingtons won out by the merest scratch. It was a hotly contested game from start to finish, and abounded in Drilliant situations.

The Washingtons were both surprised and Gisconcerted at the mnexpected strength shown by their opponents. They had an- ticipated a walkoverand dispensed with the services of two of their star players, much to their subsequent sorrow. The St. Louis boys showed remarkable facility in bucking the center and tried several strategic plays that resulted in big gains. McDonald and Flynn carried off the honors forthe St. Louls eleven, while Fullerand Emmons did the star work for the Washingtons. The Washingtons won the game in a very peculiar manner. They had the ball atthe opening and lost it through failure to aa- vance. Fiynn for St. Louts bucked the center for five yards ana McDonald went around the end for fifteen yards. In the subsequent scrimmage Gailennie, the &t. Louis quarter, fumbled the snapback and the ball rolled away fromthe muck.

New Yorn, De@ 3.—An important change which will probably be made when the Col- lege Advisory Committees meet will be in the direction of making the game of foot ball more open. As one well-Known player said a day or two ago foot ball has arrived at the position in which the wedge will be so modified that it can only be brought into play occasionally and with little effect as com- pared with its present use. It has come tobe & recognized fact that whenever the **wedge’’ is used there is always some- body on the ground in front of it to be used as a buffer to prevent its further rogress, and that the accidents which 1appen On the foot ball fleld are largely due to this play. Members of the committee say that with the limiting of this par- ticular play will come a much more open game, and that is what the spectators refer. The great interest which was taken n the ‘‘fiyimsx wedge’’ which was used this year in the game between Harvard and Yale and was greatly applauded, has convinc some of the members of the committees that the more open a game is the better it Is appreciated. Itisnow the opinion of the leading members of the committees which look after the foot ball interests of the large colleges that a more open game will have to come out, and that not be more pleasant to but the chances of The spectacle of a lot of men makinga batteringram of themselves while another lot try toturn themselves into a stone wall to be battered, is not likely to be continued tn the coming seasons, anda wiser move could not be made. The question of eligibility to compete on college teams has raised considerable discussion, and while some ofthemen think that the rules now in vogve are good enough, there are others who are of the opposite opinion, and the latter are in the majority. These men not only deciare that a radical change is necessary, but that itis sure to come. Speaking of the probable action to be taken bythe Yale Ad- visory Committee on this point, a prominent mana in college aihletics said to-day: **The chief point to be considered is the leneth of time whicha man can play for his college, and some are of the opinion that it should be set as low as three years. This is, however, only held by a few, and the four year limit is more apt to prevail, The law wiii ve made so strict that it cannot be broken, either in let- ter or spirit, and much good Is sure to come ofit. Yale will take this stand and [tis pos- sible that those colleges which do not e ft to concur with it will be left to manage their own affairs and see how they will con- trast with a college which Is anxious to do allitcanto help along true amateur sport. It is a wise step totake and noone can justly find fault with ary college for standing upon such high ground, aside the fact that the proposed course is by far the most honest one, it would seem to be the one intended to bring about such changes in the sport as will do away with much of the complaint which has been made of tate against the whole system of athletics. Itis thought that the numberof men who willtake partin the college sports will be largely increasea bya ruling ,of this kind, and that every vody will fletd by the change. It is well known that the coilege teams are made up of as many old men as can be induced to xo Dack to college and that the new comers are discouraged at the very outset of their college life, when they hear that such and such old ~»players' will be coaxed back to take the games in which they been successful in former years. gintofiy around at the beginning of each college term thatthe various teams will be made upas they werein the previous year, and thus the younger players are discouraged from joining the old to show what they are good for, and finally either a poor team is made uporthe wayis made clear fora man who hag no business on any college team to up- hold the honor of the sollege. This is the thing which the alumni propose to stop with the aid of the undergraduates. ihe former think that they wiil have no complaint from the latter when such a move is made, as it will be of nore benefit to them than to anybody else. It will give the true undergraduate a chance to cisplay his abliity, ,and the athletic honor of the college will not be leftc to a few students, but all those who are so inclined may take part in the contests and have an opportunity of playing for their col lege instead of being used asa Dutt for the more fortunate men who have played years to practice upon.’’ had THE WHEEL. ADVANTAGES OF CYCLING—SOUTH SIDE'S AN- NUAL MEFRT—CYCLING CHAT, The life of an ordinary man Is not a healthy one, says Sporting Lise. Something is re- quired which is wanting. He lives fairly long, but the very fact that wedo require to have our strength and vigor refreshed proves that our life is not altogether healthy. We spend at least ten hours ofthe night and evening and morningin a house, shut up. The ordinary man, when he leaves his house in the morning, goes to another house and there he spends the whole of his day without fresh air and when he has finished his work goes back to his home again and shuts himself up and re- mains for another ten hours, This is not a healthy life and it seems as if he was avold- ing fresh air. Itatonce suggests itself that which is wanting in our present mode of life is an abundance of fresh air, andthis no other recreation better supplies than cycling, Cycling necessitates beinginopenair. Itre- guires a certain amount of muscular exer- cise and also certain mental attention. No recreation can be really good and wholesome which does not Dear the three great char- acteristics of cycling, pamely: The need of being in the open air, muscular ex- ercise and a certain amount of mental ef- fort or. attention. Every organ of the man is madeand works in away that shows fresh air is absolutely necessary. When he ridesa wheelinthe open air the muscular activity demands an increased energy of the functions of the body, especial- ly the breathingand the circulation of the blood, When riding the breath has to be more frequent and deeper and thé circulation more vixorous, and therefore in cycling the muscular effort forcesthe rider to breathe more deepiy and causes the blood to circulate more treely, and s0 bring the various organs of his body into more vigorous action. In short, an exercise like cycling is reallya necessary partof ourlife.

Jordan, who has in the past made various predictions for the coming seasons which have proven true, is now out with the announcement that St. Louis will be invaded by an army of lady riders next year. It has been suggested that during the winter time, when the weather is against members of cycling clubs indulge in weekly walks In place of the regu- lar Sunday run. While other cities have thetr cycle shows, indoor race meets and theatrical parties, the grent mass of St. Louis wheelmen are doing nothing to keep up the interest In the sport. Better team work is sadly needed. When letters are delivered, as they are soon to be in many small towns, from bDi- cycles there will be no more snail’s pace ior Cupid’s missives. They will go, If mot ex- actiyon the wings of ilove, at least on the most improved safeties. The annual meeting of the Missouri Dtvi- sion, L. A. W., officers was held at the South Side Cycle Club last night, About eight of the officers were personally present and the balance were represented by proxy. Kvery bicycle thief cap'ured in this country should be given the full penalty for his offences.and be dealt with as rigorously as for horse stealing, for when a thief steals a bicycle he is taking the equivalent of a man’s horse, The police of this city are disgusted over the way this class of crimimals are aliowed to go scot free when the wheel Is re- covered, Vice-Consul Sidwell spent last Sunday in St. Louls and stated that cycling was boom- ing at Kansas City. The local club hasa membership of sixty-two, and they are ele- gantly housedin a pew building facing an attractive street. The elliptical gear does not prevent smooth pedaling; tuatisto say, a rider can Keep the top or driving part of his chain tight, but the lower part willhave a varying siackness—a non-uniform depth of festoon, soto speak, This variation is, however, only slight. One of the most pleasing features of the features of the Cycling Club are the fort- nightly euchre parties which always drawa large crowd of the members to the cosy club- house on Ewing avenue. These entertain- ments will be keptup duringthe winter with the addition of the usual smokers. Chicago will be the cyclists’ Mecca next ear, as the combined attractions af the Vorlad’s Fair and the grand international cyclin poereey will gather the wheelmen from all over the world.

HENRY SALTONSTALL, AN ENTHUSASTIC WHEEL- MAN, OFFERS AN ATTRACTIVE PRIZE, New Yor«, Dec. 8.—When Chairman How- ard E. Raymond of the L. A. W. racing board left for London to attend the organi- zation of the International Championship Union, of which he has since been made President, he carried with him an important commission, that of an offer of a $1,000 international championship trophy, the gift of an enthusiastic and patriotic American. At thetime the offer was known to but few, but word having been received ofthe Union acceptance of the aift the mat- ter has been made public, the generous donor discovered in the person of Mr. Henry L. Saltonstall, a Wall street broker and an ardent wheelman. Few Sonecions were attached to the uift, what for of com petition or se of be decided upon or what vern cannot be knac stall is something raciug man himself and won prises enough to forever bar him from @ novice event. He resides in Elizabeth, N. J.,and has been an active and earnest pat ron of athletic sport ever since he first became interested. He is the Captain of the Elizabeth Athletic Ulub cycling department and also Treasurer of the Metropolitan Asso- ciation of Cycling Clubs, which embraces all clubs In this vicinity. His interest, too, is of & very practical turn. the this international not the first evidence as earlier in the season he presented avery handsome silverurn for annual contest between the clubs of Union County, N. J., and also gave medals to the individual members of the team, representing the successful club. In- cidentally he has Issued cards of invitation to Messrs. Kaymond, Zimmerman and some thirty others of the best-known wheelmen of this vicintty for a banquet at his residence in Elizabeth on Dec, 18. * RUSH AND SLUG. —— a |. THAT’S WHAT THE TALENT PREDICT FOR THE GODDARD-MAHER CONTEST. New YorK, Dec. 3.—It is generally con- ceded by those who have seen the men in action that the coming fight between Joe Goddard and Peter }):aher, which takes place before the Coney Island Athletic Club on Thursday night next, will be a veritable slugging match, and that one of them will be knocked out in short order. The sporting \fraternity do not take any stock in the reports that have been published that the men have de- veloped remarkable science. In fact, it Is freely asserted that the men have compara- tively little science. Those who have seen the men figure in the ring say that they do not believe in that kind of fighting. Rush and slug, they say, is the watchword of the men and science to them is a secondary con- Sicderation. From the momenttimeis called the tactics invariably empioyed by these her- culean puetlists is to rush in and take chances of being hit a dozen times in order to land one of their sledgehammer blows. If either succeed in their efforts the contest willl come pretty near stopping them. Both men are tremendous hitters, and this applies more to the Emerald Isle champton than bis Lo eapaypate Maher, when a novice, made quite a reputation by knocking out Gus Lam- bert, .ho was never before defeated. The latter previous to this. fight had foughta four-round draw with the renowneu Pefer Jackson. Maber also put Jim Daly, Chd@m.- pion Corbett’s former sparring partner, to sleep in one round. Maher, subsequently made a tour of the country, meeting all comers. He was wonderiully successful, knocking out most of bis men in the quickest time on record, Goddaru’s success comes mainly through his indifference to being punched about. He isnot aclever man by any means, but isa perfect glutton fortaking punishment. He is, too, a fearfully hard hitter, which is thoroughly proven by his four: round victories over the clever pugilist Joe Choynski and his noted elxzht- round draw with Peter Jackson. He also de- feated Joe McAuliffe, in tan Francisco, in short order, Goddard is certainly, without exaggeration, the most remarkable pugilist Qlive to-day. He can take an unmerciful whipping and has never yet met defeat. His idea of the proper Way to fight is to let hig opponent punch himto his heart’s content. When he becomes exhausted by his own ef- forts. Goddard goes at him for all he is worth and generally finishes bis foe tn short order. Goddard ts backing himself heavily to win in the coming match. In order to avoid any repetition of the dils- comfiture the parsons of the club experienced on the night of the Costello-Greyggains fight the management has arranged for special trains to leave the island at midnight, pro- vided the bout under way on this occasion should promise to be a long-drawn-out af- fair, The tickets for the fight will be: Ad- mission, $4; reserved Seats, $7; boxes, hold- ing five, $50.

CAPTURED THE HANDICAP FROM A STRONG FIELD. Youlindem and Mattie Kinney, Odds on Fevorites, Run Hands Down—Hy Dy end St. Mark Go Down at Hawthorne— Results at Roby, Guttenburg and @louchester—The Three-Year-Olds. Jennie Harding, the pride and joy of the Fegulars at the course across the river, for the second time this week, was defeated yes- terday. When Jennie went down before Harry Warren Friday. her defeat was ex- cused on the grounds that she had gotten off poorly. In addition to which the hound-like little filly’s admirers professed to get great consolation out of tie splendid manner in which she spurted in the stretch. After sizing up these considerations it was believed Gen. Harding’s game daughter could not be bowled over yesterday, and she was ham- mered inthe betting ina manner that made many think it wasall over. Inthe opening betting Jennie was quoted até to5, while Adrienne was posted as second choice at 5 to 1. The money piled in on Hoover’s little filly and tne result was she dropped down to 7 to WW. A quiet tip circled the ring on Fannie S., which sent her price down from 6 to 4tol, while Adrienne’s price lengthened toétol. Starter Dwyer sent the bunch off promptly, nicely bunched, with the choices,Jennie Harding and Fannie 8., in nice positions. The pair drew out, passing the stand, and ran as a team, closely bunched, around into the streteh, where Adrienne spurted and moved up. After a rattling One finish Adrienne just managec to wm, whipping, by a half length. Jennie Harding and Fannie S. were necks apart be- hind in the order named. Youlinden opened and closed first choice at 8 to& to win the opening scramble,an eleven- sixteenths of a mile affair for 2-year-olds. The field against the favorite opened at 8 to 5 and closed ateven. Youlinden was not long going to the front and after leading all the way, won under a pull by two lengths. Prin- cipal was just one-fourth that distance ahead of Patience. Josephine Cassidy wagfirst choice for the next event, a three-quarter mile dash, for 3- year-olds and upwards, that have not won more than one race at the meeting. Most of the money, however, was placed on Jack White, who was backed down from 6 to8 tol. After Montclair showed the way into the stretch,Johnnie Weber moved up with Wood- berry, who was held atStol, and won by a length. Mattie Kinney closed a hot first choice for the third race, a thirteen-sixt eenths ofa mile affair, for allages, having been down from 2toi,to 7 to 10. Chamness hurried George Kinney’s daughter to the front at the start and was never afterwards headed, winning well in hand, by two lengths. Fature and Mr. Dunlap, Bob Lucas’ smash- ing 2-year-old, opened equal favorites at 2 to ifor the handicap at fifteen-sixteenths of a mile. The talent split into two sections, and poth were equally well supported, each go- f ing to the post with the opening price still standing. Of the rest Irene H. and Bugle were most fancied. Both closedaté tol. King Himyar was first to show and after leading all the way up the backstretch, re- tired in the turn tothe stretch, in favor of Irene H., who came in witha rush and won by twolengths.

There were sO many good ones that next season’s lot of handicap horses should be a sensational one. [The question of supremacy lies between Tam- many, Lamplighter, St. Florian and Yo Tambien. The reasonthe filly is included is that she was never tried outagainst the East- ern cracks when at her best, and the only racein which she metthem she pickedup a nail and was pulled uplast. Yorkviile Belle was tried against Lamplighter, and it was found that he heid her safe. Tammany wasthe best winnerof the year with the huge suin of $72,410 to his credit, but he never met St. Florian or Lamplighter und whether he was better than these cracks remains a mooted question. St. Florian was certainly as good as there was out. He gave Lamplighter eight pounds and a besting the only time they met and Lamplighter was good at the time too, as his victory in the sea and Sound Stakes three days later demon- strated.

Wheeler, Ed Finn, the 2-year Guess, anda number of others, anda consignment from the string trained by Jerry Gough, will be sold at auction nsxt Tuesday at the track. Fred Gerhardy left for Chicago last even- ing to after that portion of his string which he s6ént to Hawthorne recently. Hy Dy wasamong the lot, but has not won at ie course. Itis probable Fred will ship the gelding back to this point. Mike Bergen has not succeeded in plioting a@ winner at the course acrossthe river yet. He had the mount on ‘‘Knapsack’’ McOar- iy first starter, St. Anthony, yesterday. Mike is said to greatly resemble his famous brother, Martin, although far from being as good a jockey as the latter. Three carloads of bangtails are said to have left this city for New Orieans last night. Most of the consignment were from the Mad- ison track, and but forty or fifty head are now leftat the new course. Quite a number of the stables that left, however, including Billy Magrane’s, announced that they would return as soon as the Madison gates were thrown open again. Hen Stlenmeyer wanted to place $600 on Irene H. até to 1, but wasable to get but $50 on the black mare. In addition, however, Henry held Irene out of his book, and alto- gether made quite a comfortabie sum on the mare's victory. Sam May made his usual killing, having made his book minus Mattie inthe thirdevent. Stienmeyer won heavliy on Lillian Friday, when he held the Lamas- ney | tay out of his book and went down the line on her besides. Starter Richard Dwyer and the East 8t. Louis Jockey Club managers have come to an agreementand the former will sign a con- tract to-morrow tohandle the flag atthe course across the river that will hold good untli the closing of the meeting now in peerress. next May.

Bob Lucas says he has a yearling that can Gefeat anything he ever owned, including Adrienne and Mr. Dunlop, doth of whom, especiaily, however, the former, have run some fast races at the course across the river.

ATHLETICS, ANNUAL ELECTION OF THE M. YORK GOSSIP. New YorK, Dec. 8.—The Manhattan Atn- letic Club will bold its annual election at the club-house on Monday, Dec. 12. It is antici- pated that this annual meeting will be a very quiet one, as there will be little if any oppo- sition, as last year’s opposition party and this year’s management have held a conference and have decided to unite on one strong ticket. This agreement on the part of this year’s Board of Governors and the opposition ele- ment of last year is certainly a move inthe right direction, as it will enable the club to present a united frontand to move forward in its successful march, It is anticipated that the board which will be nominated will be one of the. strongest ever put before the club. The \ianhattan Athletic Club received over $130,000 from dues this year, which is more money than was received by any other in the United States forannual dues. The M.A.C.also cleared over $10,000 on foot Dall within thirty days- and with its ciub-house plant and Manhat- tan Field piant in perfect condition and with no necessity of making any further expendi- ture, the cluo has one thing tolook forward to in the future,and that is to apply all its in- come tothe paymentof its debts; this being the case, it goes without saying, the debts will be very rapidly cleared away,and will disappear altogether ina very short period of time. The games under the auspices of the New York -Press Club, to be given at Madison Square Garden, Dec. 17, promiseto be one ofthe mostimportant fixtures of the kind ever held there. The events will be very at- tractive ones and the games are sure to draw a very large attendance. I predict they will be a success from a financlal, social and sporting point of view. Of one thing I am sure, and that is that the management having in charge the prelimi- naries of this feature are leaving no stone unturned to make this, the initial meeting of the New York Press Club, one of the greatest affairs of the kind ever held in New York City. The Twelfth Regiment games to take place at the Armory proimise to be, without doubt, the most successful affair the kind ever held by the association. This is saying ae great deal, as the annual fixtures of this associa- tion under the Mmanagemerntofo. J. Leach, are noted for their success. The only pecu- liarity with regard to these games is that each succeeding year excels the one gone be- fore, and I confidently expect,therefore,that this year’s games will be a wee bit better than the last games that were held under the auspices of the Twelfth Regiment Athletic A.

The Japanese have a very odd, but very effective way of wrestling. Their bodies are s0 little and supple compared with those of the average American or European athlete that they can move about with the most sur- prising agility, This stands them in good stead, because in wrestling a8 Man’s nimble- ness will often make ita difficult or impos sible matter for his opponent to throw him. Outing for December prin avery interest- ing article by Join A. MacPhail, from which this illustration is taken. Mr. MacPhail ob- serves that not only do the Japanese wrestle ina manner peculiar to themselves, but that the deportment of the spectators on the oc- casion of an athletic event is alsoof an odd and striking nature. ‘‘The costumes of the spectators,’’ says Mr. MacPhall, ‘‘would satisfy the most ca- pricious stickler for variety. The ladies were tn the perfection of es dress, the ne plus ultrain fact, veritable Eves before fashion began to prevail.’’ The gentlemen were aiso variously attired. Some wore white waistcoatsand a girdle about the loins, another replaced the waist- coat by a net undershirt, others added to the loin cloth a bit of decorative tattooing. Those who were conspicuously well dressed wore close-fitting skirts, white stockings reaching to the ankle, with a separate com- partment for the great toe, and all had sandals on. The ‘‘ring’’ consisted of a slightly raised plattorm made of bundlesof matting and sand. The space was covered with fine sand, and salt was sprinkled onthis from time to time to prevent bruising. Each person carried his own mat to sit on, and boys brought bags containing lobster, pineapples and other. digestible dainties. Every now and then one of the spectators would produce a bottie and pushthecork in withthe handle of his fan, afterwhich he would pass it around inthe true Kentucky fashion. # When it was time for the sport to begina herald stepped into the arena and, unfolding his fan by way of salute, said something ina high key. This appeared to please the crowd, and the referee then advanced tothe center of the ring. ‘This gentleman’s behavior might be copied advantageously Dy referees at our ‘*goes’’ inthis country,more especially by those tough-looking ones who instruct the spectators to‘**go to — if they don’t like it.’’ ‘**Spreading out his fan,’’ says Mr. Mac- Phail, ‘the advanced first to the east and then to the west, and ashe approached the ring he stood erect and announcediina high thin voice the names of the competitors and the event about to be contested. Then he re- tired to the center, and turning to those points of the compass hitherto neglected he bowed profoundiy, and by raising his fan to the forehead disclosed the depth of his humility and obligation to the auécitors for the manner in which they received his an- nouncement.’’ The only thing we have in this country to compare with this elaborately polite referee isthe sleek-looking young man who atthe Various fleld meetings advances by turns to the different parts of the field and, taking his hat off, announces who the winner of the last event was. but in spite of the Japanese referee’s great humility he is treated with great scorn, both by the spectators and contestants, in which respect he comes nearer resembling our American referee. Sometimesthe wrestlers in their movements about the ring will jostle himand hustie him around the ring. When this happens, Mr. MacPhall says, the specta- tors sends upa shout of glee. The wrestiers in this particular instance were thirty-two tn number, and they fought tournament fashion. When the names of each pair ofcontestatts were announced by the herald they stepped into the center, smiled ateach other, then, turning around, each bent down and took a straw from the ground and broke itin two to indicate the .worthlessness of his adversary. ‘*Then they faced each other, and, spread- ing their legs farapart, stooped down to the earth, raised one foot, then the other, and v " 8 % pe e , ; 1 4 " ; ar ‘ => Ny ; ee re Lt Ly y) ¥ Sighs xs a: J dogo 5 2) SEAS Ets t eo 7 oa?

A very interesting discussion is now under way among certain physicians as to the ad- visability of allowing young children to ride the bicycle. By some itis urged that the child’s frame, being in an immature state and capable of being distorted much more easily than later in life, isaptto be moreor less ill-formed by the use of the wheel, Others assert that the exercise is highly ben- eficial, whether partaken of by old or young. There isathird class which takes the middie or old, provided he or she forms the habit of sitting perfectly upright. It may here be stated that the forward bend, which is so commonly seen in riders, is not only extremely ungraceful, but Is detri- mental to the heaith as well. There seems to be apn idea among bicyclists that the machine can be ridden faster and more easily by lacing the seat back as far as possible and eaning over to reach the handles, That this is an erroneous notion can readily be proved by adopting both thisand the upright method for a while. The latter will be found far more comfortable and dignified. It is true that racers bend forward, but this is merely to avoid as much as possible the re- sistance of the atmosphere. No racer will bend himself double when he has along dis- tance to travel A celebrated English physician and sur- geon, who is wellinformed as to the effect of bicycle riding onthe constitution, has been = dia and renders the following opin- on: any one, young uestion whether young children be- @ ages, say, of 6 and 12 ghould be allowed to cycle, and, if allowed, how much they may indulge inthe pastime with- out incurring the risk of injury, is one of con- siderable interest, and has of late provoked discussion. ‘lhis,like most medical questions, is asubject on which no man, who forms his opinion after due investigation, can pro- nounce dogmatically, or lay down any strict and invariable rules; for there are children and children, and what for one small boy or girl might be merely healthy and beneficial exercise for another might mean physical ruin.

Manager V/atkins, since his departure from St. Louis last week, has put in some good work for the Browns. He has practically made arrangements looking to the shaping of the St. Louis Browns for the coming season, and has lost no time in laying the ground wires. He has signed, or as good as signed, a half-dozen players, and is on the road to capture at least two more. He visited Newport, Ky., and signed the well- known pitcher Jack Dolan, whose work in pviling Providence through to the champion- Ship goal the past season was of a note- worthy character. Manager had him on his Rochester and allowed Providence the usé his services by which they won the pennant. Dolan started out with the Washington Club in the League, but as they had seven pitch- ers, he was not given a show, but was re- leased. Watkigs visitea Pittsburg and, after talding with Glasscock he decided to retain him and not com- plete the deal for Shugart. The Pittsburg club wanted Glasscock, but the latter told Watkins he preferred St. Louis to either Pittsburg, Chicago or New York, and promsies € to put in Wis best licks for the rowns. From Pittsburg Watkins went to Wilmington, Del., where he signed Pitcher Hawke, who was with the Browns last year, and who is one of the best young pitchers ever seen in St. LoujJs. Hawke, Watkins says, kicked himself all over for having jumped the Browns at atime when his services were needed, and when he had a chance to go rightto the front. He repents his hasty act and says he will show the people of st. uls that he can pitch, and pitch effectively, whether the piccher’s box re- mains where itis, or whether itis put back five feet at Wilmington. Watkins also signed Jack Newellas an extra infielder. Newell was signed by President Von der Ahe last fall, but he had no use for his ser vane at the ~ wgehe tr ‘ as inkne was su e °o to do A work.

Then there was some magnificent power and resourees displayed, till the smaller, after a feint with the knee and heel, caught his opponent on the hipand brought himtotheearth.

This edict comes direct from the gay French capital, and a ribbon artist who has been spending the past year in trying to copy exactly the tints of the flowers, has at last succeded, and announces as the triumph of his art, the exact shade of the American Beauty rose, which has hitherto eluded him. This queen of the roses need not, therefore, go any longer ribboniess into a lady’s bou- quet. A great variety of colors will also be used together, producing perfect rainbow effects. In spite of this fad for high art colors, white and gold will still be in high favor. Mrs. Charles Orrick entertained last Tues- day the euchre club to which she belongs, assisted by Mrs. Henry Albright, The prizes which were very handsome were won by Mrs. J. W. Andrews and Mrs. Hoyt, who car- ried of the first prizes; the second were won by Miss Lizzie Andrews and Mrs. Charles Leffingwell; Mrs. Jenkfns received the consolation prize. ° The Young People’s Amusement Clubof Benton gave a dancing party last Monday evening at the residence of Mr. J.

On Tuesday evening the Misses Kehlor had a delightful dance, made more interesting by the presence of the strangers in the city, called here by the Little-Neall wedding.

Thesure matk of true supert- 4 is UnCeasing patience with the ignorant, ‘and him who ts one’s inferior. _Somuchhas been said, pro and con, re- garding Woman’s rights, woman's equality witb man, Man's inferiority ana superiority woman, etc., that a discussion on the ts or demerits of wife, sister and friend ms absurd and out of date. First, you tell us that the worship of pman ig @ modern fad; the chivalry of the fiddle Ages simply: factftiouws. Maybe so; benot. But we should indeed be sad- ned to think the glory of Arthur merely y wnyth, the beauty of Shakspeare borrowea om untruth, and Scott’s immortal heroines ise Caricatures of the sex; that Dante sver Knew a Beatrice and Burns a High- na Mary. Then are we indeed poor de- aded mortals with all beauty in life taken wway and naught extant but selfishness and ruelty. What a desolate existence must bethat of 'y Lord Walsh for naught exists save it be beautifed by woman’s presence, be it in life, terature or art. Let us rejoice that at least there were souls scattered through the ages who had in their rt ssuffiicient regard for womankind to breathe it forth in song, story, picture and statue, thatthe women of to-day although uded, may look back on the Ruths, Marys, nds and Rebekahs who have lived only in some book, and takiug them for truth, model their own lives accordingly, andthus make in the nineteenth century true, living, animate womanhood bear their pames. What charm can immortal Shakspeare, Scott, Browning, Ruskin and all other sweet ingers have for such a man. In the third paragraph, you speak of the arm which men—busbands and others—throw over their female de- ndents. Have youa wife and do you call a Gependent? The woman whom you ve promised to love, honor and cherish, a pendent! The woman whom you deem fit > bear the burden of life with you, bear and your children, nurse you through ness «and if need i. ~0»be lay aown r life for the dear ones—sucha one a de- ndent! Have youa sister, sir? I pity her! ‘an we wonder thatthereare in this world hose saddest and most pitiable of all human tures—bitter women? Such a brother youlad make a sister contemn and despise his ‘ - x. Again and again you accuse us of jealousy, brutality, selfishness, and all the sins known to mankind. As a reason for this, you assert, cur ignorance robs us of that high mental gift, imagination, and hence we lack the sympathetic insight which comes from an active imagination. Woman cannot rea- son. Let us see how much logical reason- ing Mr. Walsh has done, First. You say we are ignorant, we grant it for the nonce. Second. You give,as a result of this ig- nporance, lack of imagination. Did you ever observe that in the study of the history of the rogress of our world, as a nation advances, fre less poetry there is, and what {g tr if not the child of the fmagination? Suppose Hear what Macaulay, aman, says: ‘‘As civilization advances poe- try, almost necessarily, declines.’’ ‘*Greater imagination in uncultivated minds than in cultivated.”’’ And history proves it to us. When and under what circumstances do we find a Jean D’ Arc, the child crusaders, etc. Why, look inourown homes. Have not the children the quick, wild imagination which reates anything it wishes for? When @ man is brutal you say, ‘‘he knows t, buta woman’s brutality springs from ig- norance.’”’ ‘There is some hbope for the one ho sins through ignorance, but for him whvu ilifully puts a sin between himself and God y his very act defies ail that is grand and 90d in humanity, which is divinity. l will not any farther pick t separatory the many accusations Mr. ‘alsh has heaped upon us and answer them. hink just now of a story a lawyer once told ke. He had in his office at one time a young dent. One day all was quiet in the room ben the attorney heard an oath from the ir occupied by the student. He inquired cause of such language, and the youth led: There’s another fool taking off his ttoa woman. You won’t catch me doing . They’re too important already. It’s all dlishness.’’ “No.’* said the lawyer, ‘‘I suppose there lly is not any use in doing it or many other hings we rsist in doing; wearing clothes nstead of blankets, using napkins at the table and refraining from shoveling food in with our knives.’’ Nothing more was said, and never after- Wards was a woman nen of by the stu- dent in the presence of the attorney.

Itnever occurred to nie to consider ‘‘hon- y’’ in any other than a moral sense. What terripie grudge Mr. W. must have against omebody to make him so determined to drag he whole sex: down to the lowest ‘level of ®gradation! That is a cute suggestion to Onsider man as **not in it,’*’ but if Mr. W. sists on that he must recede from his orig- position. However, this in fact he has Ne already in admitting that it is possible or @ woman to be the equal of man, even hough it be in infamy, as it it but reasonable > Suppose that if her efforts were bent in other direction she would make her mark ‘4. But it has been proven conclusively admirably that all the charges which | .W. tried to saddle on woman, as a conse- ce of her womanhood, are a common = : al oe aii ‘trait of humanity, regardless of sex, differ- ing in degrees only and not in kind, and de- pendent wholly on environ t. Mr. W. should not delude himself into he- lieving that ‘‘all men are liars.’’ Shakspeare came to the same conclusion in an age when such effusions as Mr. W. has sent forth would have resulted in an epidemic of wife-beating, witha view of bringing about the reforma- tion of woman-kind ina day. and during that very time which Mr. W, cited to prove his assertion that woman was naturally and ap bsloaniy inferior. He isa living exponent of this time-honored proverb. If it is true they lie, that only makes the sin greater and more giaring. Lying is equivalent to steal- ing, take itas you will, and those who trans- ess with a full knowledge and intent of oing wrong are surely more culp- able than those who _ sin through ignorance. This is the Age of Reason and while physical strength is admired anda justly encouraged, bully ee are cried down and derided, and nowadays man is not prone to boast of his prowess as in the age of vandalism and robbery, when might wasright. Therefvure, if 1 was aman I would not be so hasty in expressing my opinion on woman’s wiles and hypocrisy, as no doubt during those long, long ages of brutality when she was in subjection, the life and safety of herself and those dearto her often agepended on the success of her diplomacy. Besides those who know so iittle about physiology as to expect the offspring of diplomatists and business men to be the em- bodiment of every noble trait of mind and character should be debarred from speaking on the sabject. Mr. W. does not appear to know as much as he should, since he is bound to meddle with kitchen affairs, or he would not have so much trouble with his help. When by any chance I find out that a new acquaintance has 60 much trouble with the helpas to make him or her feel justified in calling a subordinate vile names, I generally find it a_ safe rule to shun such persons. Andof all the Species of Old Fogy he who goes nosing aboutthe pots and pans inthe kitchen Is certainly the most detestable. Asarule the wife of the tallor, shoemaker, baker, and the other little manikins who require her help in order to get along,or perhaps because theyare too cowardly to do their part in the world’s battle, these menasarule make the life of womena hellonearth. Itisevident Mr. W. started housekeeping a la Jack, and his Jere- miahs prove that he has made a lament- able allure of it. do not mean thatI admire the henpecked husband; far from it, I woul@not wipe my feet on him. The scolding wife and the nagging husband are on a par, and equally disagreeable. When both parties have not been spolled to insanity by indulgent, well-meaning but mis- taken parents, they might begin married life on an equitable, petsnorep basis, and either extreme could easily be avoided and both would retain their self-respect. If all men would look atthe matter in that light, instead of being so many Jacks, it would pay every poor man to get married. But don’t resort to brute force. Fear on the one hand and coercion on the other will be fatal to the self respect of all parties concerned, and itis absolutely es- sential tothe welfare of the family that the self-respect of both parents should be unim- aired. Centuries of non-responsibility have ad a demoralizing effect on woman, but give her a proper incentive, and she will prove herself a helpmate in the truest sense, and when she pulls with a will l assure you it counts. Brute force always does more harm than good, even in the case of a Lilian Sim- pleton. Fearis akinto hate, and the indi- vidual who pins faithin his sovereignty in the strength of his right arm alone, whether he be six foot or more, has a sad awakening in store for him sooner or later. The tyrant gen- erally is poor — always friendless. When he no longer has the power to back up hisauthority by force hels an objectof de- rision oftener than respect and when he breathes his lust the policeman is summoned to arrange for his removal, just like the car- cass ofany vagrant dog. Another case in point, and which might make any bellever in brute force pause and consider, is that ofa couple who began their matrimonial career ina section of the old country where the be- lief prevailed thut the waters ofa certain well would secure the supremacy to the party who should drink from it first. This, as wellas the first instance, has been taken from life; the first drama is closed, but the latter has reached about the middle stage. Well, this man firmly belleved that in virtue of the fact that he ‘‘got there first,’’ the pre- rogative to at least boss his wife had been conferred on him. He began somewhat like Jack Macomber, with which he contented himself fora while. But when they came to this land of plenty, and he found it was quite possible fora woman to make a respectable living, and he being of that class of unfortu- bates who are born tired, it occurred to himthatit might be a good idea tocom- pel his chattel to contribute to his support, or to assume it altogether, according to his own statement. by degrees, he being abso- lutely drunk with self-esteem, and rum of course, his abuse increased with his de- pendency on his wife, and he liked to boast that he lordedlt right royally over the whole family circle. However, the day of reckon- ing came forhim when his children became old enough to assist. their mother, and he too feeble to resist, when the useless old drone was turned out to shift for himself,and finally todie like any old trampina Drick- yard, far away trom home and Kindred. The most revolting part, however, is the be- havior ofthe chilidren towards their mother. Fortunately the girls are in the majority and they have imbibed toomuch religious senti- ment tolay hands on her; but heronly son has no religious scrup’es, and not bampered by refinement or good breeding, and as a womanisa woman tobim he hasno more compunction to fog the mother than his father ever had. In view of the fact that nature imposes such heavy responsibilities on women, and man contradicts his assertion in regard to her inferiority by giving her the care of the young and intrusting her with the prepara- tion of his meals, and when Mr. W. admits that woman represents the conservative and redeeming force of society the claim that she cannot take care of herself is preposterous. It must be said to the shame of man that he countenances, frequents and maintains any place where § re- spectable woman dare not gowilthout an escort. If all men were gentiemen there would not be much danger, but the average manis not fit to have absolute control of wonian. Hitherto man has had the business world pretty much to himself, at least Mr.\W. does not claim that woman has been respon- sible for the corruption which pervades it, but man has madeita pest-house for moral leprosy. Tg return to Mr. W.’s special charge of dis- honesty, Ibegto observe that if Mr. W. wants to know just how very small a man can be inthis respect he should get on the good side of the jolly good fellow in his set to learn what sortoflies he tells his folks at home, and his employers, too, for that mat- ter, when he has been on a tear. But the most contemptible liars are to be found among that setof men who consider every woman whocan be ofany service to them as their legitimate prey, to cajole and to swindle, from the _ festive professor who prefers to dwellin che seventh heaven of expectancy of iuture fame todoing some.- thing with which he might be enabled to pay his landlady and his washerwoman, and the ward politician to the unfortunate individual who Is always out of elbows and out ofa job, because work does not agree with him, It is a pity that, since he deprecates his ex- istence, Mr. W, persists in acting the part of the Ola Foggy. He cannot stop thetide of public opinion with such rant as he has sub- mitted, and, therefore, it would be far more signified in him and his adherents, if they can dono better, or at least totell the truth, to keep on the fence and give us a rest. H. MoM, Federal Court Notes. Yesterday afternoon, in the United States Oircuit Court, a supplementary bill in the case Of T. F. Smith against the city of St. Louls was filed. This suit is one that was brought in the st. 1ouls Circuit Court for the object of reclaiming Washington Park, which, it was alleged, the city had no right to use as a site for the new City Hall. Yesterday Benjamin Jornes and Jacob Mores, both of Reynolds County, Mo., were arraigned before United States Commis- sioner Crawford charged with retailing liquor without the payment of a special tax, and in default of Dail were sent to jail. Appeals Taken. Anappeal was taken in the celebrated will- contest case of John T. Garland against Geo. Smith etal., which was triedin Judge Val- liant’s court last summer. The case of An- derson Bros. against the School Board, a suit for damages growing out of the letting of the contract forthe building of the new High School, wasalso appealed from Judge Val- liant’s court. ee MANKIND generally die before 83, but!

Written for the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH. Some years ago, when Mme. Blavatsky, the high priestess of Theosophy, commander of the faithful and general dabbler in the mys- terious, was in bouncing health and reasona- ble flow of spirits, it occurred to her one day that in accordance with a natural law she might be called upon at any time to surren- der her existence asa mortal. The mere fact of death did not in the least discompose the lady’s nerves, for her calculations had been so exact and her doctrines so firmly grounded thatthe parting of soul and body was atrifiling formality that in itself was worth very littie consideration. But Iike many others of her sex Mme. Blavatsky was fond of talking, and to accord her simple justice she talked very well. It was there- fore distressing toher to reflect thata stop would be put to her liberty of speech in order to conform toa very hackneyed decree of na- ture, and it was in the frame of mind super- induced by this mournful trought that she Is saidto have constructed a wooden head to spring on her delighted friends after her re- tirementto the spirit land. The idea was that this wooden head should be a means of communication between the madame and other heads, wooden and otherwise, that might gather around in anecstasy of devo- tion and expectation. Thus, having made all preparation forthe continuation of her elo- quentand instructive discussion post-mor- tem,the accomplished lady caught cold, fold- ed her hands and resigned her being to the great grief and lamentation of the entire theosophical contingent. Up to date,unfortunately,this wooden head has not been permitted to develop its power ofconversation. It seems, sothe story goes, to have been locked up in a room in Calcutta, where, if it talks atall, it is only allowed to converse with the furniture and the bric-a- brac appertaining to the late lamented Blavatsky. If it were a wooden horse instead ofa wooden head, and the tale of Troy were a fresh and breezy story insteady of a moldy chestnut, it could not be treated with greater suspicion and neglect. Itis learned further thata few adventurous spirits, or to speak more accurately,a few adherents in close dalliance with adventurous spirits, have de- termined to enter the sacred chamber, bring forth the head and testits powerina way that it will be eminently satisfactory to every- body that was’eminently well satisfied before. Of course the average ignorant and incredu- lous mind has no very clearidea of what this head is expected to talk about, but it Is pre- sumed that it will devote itself largely to business matters, thatisto say, to matters that concern the recreations and avocations ofthe Theosophists. To this extent, there- fore, itis a private affair, and will remain so as long as the departed Blavatsky wishes, for assheisthe guiding spirit, as the head is her head (in wood), it cannot be made to talk againstits willunder any threat or special pleading, While more or less interest attaches to the experiment ofa consultation with a wooden head, and while such conferences are a nov- eity even inthis day of scientifi©c ingenuity, the ‘‘talking head’’ hascuta figure in many epochs of the world’s history. There is every reason to Delleve that Herrmann, the prestidigitateur, would agree to furnish a head off-hand that would talk anything from religion to agriculture, but he would spoll everything by candidly confessing that it was atrick, and nothing annoys people so much as to be told that what they have in- vested with the supernatural is merely ven- triloguism, sharp practice, a joke on human credulity. The ancionts knew their business better, and if they did not gather inthe shekels quite as rapidly asthe modern wiz- ard coins his dollars they made more repu- tation for themselvesand had a good deal more quiet fun. The ancient gentlemen who manufactured sphinxes and endowed them with the power of speech, of propounding riddles and of banqueting on the unfortunate people who falledto pass examination, were delightful examples of Mr. Shakspeare’s familiar phrase, ‘‘Lord, how this world is given to lying.’’ The first notable example of the advant- ages Ofa ‘‘talking head’’ was afforded by Gerbert, afterward Sylvester II., Pope of tome. Gerbert flourished in the tenth cen- tury, and wasa man of the times. A pro- found scholar and a wily politician, it was naturalenough that he should raise up a multitude of enemies, by whom he was ac- cused of practices highly scandalous in a successor of Peter. It was intimated very plainly that he had enjoyed a love adventure at Cordova, contrary tothe requirements of his holy office, and it was quite as broadiy hinted that he had made acompact with the devil, which accounted for his rapid advance- ment. All these rumors finally settled down into the accepted statement that he lux- uriated in the possession of a ‘‘brazen head’’ of the most loquacious tendencies. This ac- commodating head,;the gift of his Satanic majesty, told him that he would be success- fulin his political enterprises, that he would live to be the Pope, and that he would dle at Jerusalem. Naturally Gerbert thought he hada safe thing by remaining away from Jerusalem, but oneday he wasin the Jeru- salem Church at Rome, and death smote him, givingan appropriate ending toa very pretty story. What became of the talkative head nobody seems to know. Robert Grosseteste is supposed to have manufactured a talking head for personal purposes. wrosseteste wasa bishop in Eng- land early inthe thirteenth century, a man of intellect and abundantly ableto dohis gwn talking. Albertus Magous, a thirteenth cen- tury bishop in Germany, had a brazen head with the gift of speech. Albertus, who was called, according to popular sentiment, the Great, the Ape of Aristotle and the Doctor Universalis, wasa gentleman of such erudl- tion that if he took any pleasure in possessing a talking head he certainly deserved the privilege. At all events he never did any harm, so faras report goes, and itis really unfortunate that his pupil, Thomas Aquinas, disposed of itat the first opportunity. Roger Bacon, the worthy ‘‘Doctor Mira- bilis,’’ has been wenerally believed to have indulged in the luxury of a brazen head head. It is due to the friar to explain, however, that his head wasa very innocent and simple device, and contented itself with repeating: ‘*Time is, time was, time comes,.’’ It might occur tothe casual reader that an ordinary man would become exceedingly tired of this monotonous and absurdly indisputable an- nouncement, but Friar Bacon was not an or- dinary man, and he stood up under the wearying recital with true Christian forti- tude. Quite another kind of talking head was that keptin the castle ofthe Giant Far- ragus in Portugal. Here was a head that must have been a female’s, for it gave outa perfect stream of words, and if it was not omniscient it had the credit of know it all. Moreover, it was as loquacious to strangers as to its master, and readily told everything ofthe pastandthe future to anybody incau- tious enough to propound the question. A talking head was one of the curiosities in Spain In the fourteenth century, and a Po- lander is said to have had considerable suc- cess in the duplication. For five hundred years or more talking heads have been at a discount in Christian countries. While it is not improbable that they have flourished right along in Thihet, theosophy has not as yet ventured to exhibit them west of the sacred precincts. For this reason, if for no other, there will bea gen- eral desire to see how Mme. Biavatsky’s effort compares with the historical produc- tion just cited and to ascertain how the reed instrument contrasts with the brass. As the matter is purely spiritual or psychological it is not to be maintained that the brazen head has any distinct advantages save in the matter of durability. That in this ingenious age Mme. Blavatsky should not have devised a Oreproof head seems to have been a griev- ~~ —— T See How They Sparkle . . ..- Lhe Myriads of Diamonds That we have selected from the mines of Africa, through our agents in the Hastern and Foreign markets.

Forifitistrue, as the Post has already related, that the wooden head is intended as a medium of communication between the departed priestess and this sphere, what an incalcuable loss would it be ifa fire should break out in the room in which it may be reposing. Of course, a being of Blavatsky’s resources might be able to supply some other medtum, but it would never enjoy the prestigeand command the confidence inspired by the revival of a scheme that has been tried and has given satisfaction. it seems a little strange thatthe enterpris ] ing directors and promoters of the Worid’s Fair have made no attempt to secure this valuable attraction, far more wonderful than Ajeebd and infinitely to be preferred to the ordinary run of curiosities that are contrib- uted by the Orient. If it is contended that the wooden head istoosacredto be exposed to the vulgar gaze and questioning of a Chi- cago crowd, it might be utilized for Sunday services on the grounds, accessible only to those who profess an earnest hunwering after truth andafirm belief in the esoteric doctrine of Nirvana. In this way the advan- tages of Blavatsky’s teachings can dothe greatest good to the greatest number, and Blavatsky dead will be more beneficent to the human race than Blavatsky living. NO DIVISION, A THEOSOPHIST DENIES THAT MR. FOULKE IS MME. BLAVATSKY’S SUCCESSOR. The following communication relative to the alleged rivalry of Mr, Judge and Mr. Foulke tothe leadership of the Theosophists was received from a member of the The- osophical Soclety: The article published in your columns last Sunday, the 27th, *‘Rival Mahatmas,’’ caused much comment amoung theosophists. Mr. Foulke, who claims to be Mme. Blavatsky’s successor, isnoteven a member of the Theosophical Society or any ofits branches and has noconnection withitinany form whatsoever. For him toclaim to De a ‘‘rival of Mr. Judge’’ or a ‘‘successor to me Be ty yg is about as sensible and pertinent as for a lunatic on the Sandwich islands to consider himselfarival of Grover Cleveland or a successor of Mr. Harrison. He, the aforesaid lunatic, would first have to be naturalized to become eligible and after- ward elected. The Theosophical Society is a well-organ- ized body, with general and local con- stitution, by -law’s, etc. Indivi- duals from branches elect om- cers, adopt by-laws, constitution, etc., in harmony with the general organization, Branches untlte toform sections, European, Indian and American sections. Each sec- tion has a general secretary. The whole so- clety—nearly seventy branches in America, 300 ail told in the three sections—hasa Presi- dent, Col. Ulcott, anda Vice-President, Mr. Judge. Mr. Judge is also Secretary of the American section. These officers are all elected By delegates trom branches at annual meetings except that of Col. Olcott who is President and founder, he however ‘*nominates’’ his successor, subject tocon- firmation by a vote of the branches. Col. Olcott has already nominated Mr. Judge as his successor to the office of President and the nomination has already been confirmed by a vote of the branches. H. P. {Blavatsky was during her iife ‘*Corresponding Secre- tary’’ of the whole society and at her death the office ceased to exist. There is no divided sentiment in the organ- ized Theosophical Society regarding Mr. Judge, who has the respect and confidence of the Theosophists throughout the civilized globe, and he has won his high position not by self-seeking but by self-sacrifice and good, honest, intelligent service tothe cause and of humanity. Mr. Foulke could hardly be the head of a_e society whose first object is to form the nucleus ofa ‘‘Universai Brotherhood of Man,’’ as hard work and un- selfish work for others, not for oneseif, are the only stepping stones im work of this kind which Mr. Foulke would have to show before gaining the position he claims.

A boy of 4 years old—who has the fortunate privilege of sitting on the cross-seat of the pew, is the person who describes, after sixty years, what he remembers. The little boy, whose self and successor is now trying to reproduce him, could sleep if he chose, extended on the cross seat with his head in his mother’s lap, while she listened to the minister. I will not say that on this particularday he or I had been asleep.

Jolly men from Nippon land worked all of one day at Jackson Park, They worked be- cause the Japanese Government headquar- ters must be completed forthe opening of the Exposition, and the time is short for the undertaking.

The timbers were solidenough, but there wasn’t anallinthe whole affair. The cross- pieces were fastened with pteces of jute rope. The carpenters used no ladders of any sort, but climbed from ground to top and back again, with the agility of professional trapezists. The men who worked aloft had bunches of rope about their waists, with which they fastened the timbers passed up to them. Scene at the Japanese Building. Overin another corner of the inclosure, which prevents the workmen from being overrun by spectators, isa shed full of curi- osities. Thereare planesthat look like toy tools andthatare drawn toward the work- man instead of being pushed from him. The adzes have long, curved handles and broad, curved blades. When the Japanese carpen- ter wants to cut with his adz he holds the end of the curved handle with both hands, turns the blade edge upwardand chops as briskly as ifhe really were working the right way instead of upside down. But the handsaws are the great curlos of the collection. They are about as longasa butcher’s cleaver and the teeth are set with a slant toward the handle which is only a strong, round piece of wood bound to the saw with a fiber wrap.

How Sala Used to Make It in the West Indies. George Augustus Sala, the English bon vivant, contributes toa recent number of hig journal an article on ‘‘Hash.’’ ‘‘In the name of the prophet’’—hash! It should, ofcourse, properly be ‘‘figs;’’ but that does not matter,since the Turks make very nice hashes of lamb and poultry; but the hash with which I have to do isthe dish popular in English middle class households, andeven more widely patron- ized in the United States, where, in the North, at least, the colloquial name for what is Known in England as a ‘‘genteel boardin establishment’’ isa ‘‘hash house.’’ Severa of my correspondents have been lbeckling me lately touching hash,and one tin particular was hard on me becausein our page of American cookery Lomitted to make mention of the American corned beef hash—which the printer (?) corrupted into ‘‘corn beef,’’ sc I determined that my readers should have the hash with a vengeance; and behold it here, piping hot: As regards British middle-class hash, !t is fitting that J should give briefly my own per- sonal experiences in the matter—experli- ences which go back more thanfifty years. My mother, who hadalarge family to Keep on very slender means, hadall her children boys and girls alike, systematically an practically taughtto cook. She was a West Indian, and, in theold slave-owning days the West Indies was a paradise of cookery. She was the widow of an Italian gentleman, and there are very few Itallans who do not interest them- selves in culinary matters. Iwasa sickly, nervous child, and I could not stand the flerce heat of a kitchen range. The most arduous culinary labor which I ventured to undertake was the cooking of a couple of kidneys or some bacon or a spitful of larks in a Dutch. oven before the fire; but I was not a bad hand at sauces: and, above all, I was proficient in the preparation of hash, which— don’t be shocked—I have cooked scores of times 1n our drawing-room, on the first floor of No. something, Kegent’s Quadrant, when William IV. was king. The way of it was this: We often had @ roast leg of mutton on Sunday. Mon we ate it cold; Tuesday was hash day, My mother used to be away every day from 11 till4, giving lessons in Itallan singingto the nobility and gentry, but before she went out on hash days | was put through my paces in the initial stages of hash-making. When she saw rae.carefully occupied in cutting the cold mutton into thin slices, seasonin them with salt and pepper, and, dvedaing a little flour over them, she would give mea kiss and depart on her daily Grudgery. I let the sliced mut-. ton rest till noon and read my book. Thenft proceeded to cook in a stewpan a finely minced onion, iubricated with a bit of but- ter, moistened with half a pint of beef gravy stock or some other ‘‘glaze.’’ The flavoring was sometimes a tablespoonful of mush- room ketchup, or quite as some burat onions, which, ever, I carefully removed from.) stewpan when the sauce was cooked. Then my slice of mutton went into a larger stew- pan, which I simmered—oh, so gently—till the flour with which I dredged the meat had thickened the sauce; and then I drew the stew pan on tothe hob, and left it there, still gently, gently cooking in its various juices; and then I read my book till my mother came home. Meanwhile her maid laid the table for us two—for all my brothers and sisters were away from home during several years of my childhood. When my par- ent arrived, she took the _ ste from the hob and ut it on the fre to give itthat final boilup whichI was too small and too inexperienced toimpartto it. It was only the hand ofa masteror mistress cook that isskillful enough toadminister that final boil up; butI had not been wasting my time, for I had carefully toasted some bread he sippets, to be placed around the servant.

Was a Blood-Stained Garment Destroyed by the Fire in the Kitchen Stove—The Story Told by the Accused of Where ' She Was and What Shs Did on That Watal Day—The Grand-Jury. FALL River, Mass., Dec. 8.—One of the DaMling points in the investigation by the Government inthe Bordeh murder case was the method used by the murderer to destroy the garments which he orshe had worn dur- ing the committal! of the deed and which, ac- cording tothe medical experts, must have been covered with blood from the upward Spurting arteries of the murdered couple. The min@ naturally suggested destroying of the tell-tale garments by fire, for that element, more than any other, could effectually remove every trace which could lead tothe apprehension of the assassin by the discovery of the clothing worn when the deed was committed. In the evidence sub- mitted at the preliminary trialit was devel- oped that upon the arrival of the police off- cers at the scene of the murder they lifted the covers from the stove and discovered the dy- ing embers of the fre with the presence of ashes, the latter giving indication that an attempt had been made to burn something. It was disclosed before the Cirand-jury by one of Lizzie Borden’s most intimate friends that there was a bright fire in that stove but a short time before the curious officer lifted the cover,afire strong enough to have de- stroye@ evidence of crime, even were these | evidences blood-stained clothing, and into that stove upon the morning when Andrew Berden and his wife were murdered there was thrust a woman’s dress and rapidly the biazing fiames destroyed the garments until within a few momeuts after the introduction into the firebox nothing remairzed of it but a few ashes. Thenthe fredied away. The pris- oner’s friendscan say truthfully that there is no evidence to show that the dress which ws destroyed by fire On the morning of Aug, 4 belonged toher. They may add that the one who gave the above information to the Grand-jury did not describe the texture of this garment, did not sey that it was any way disfigured by bloodstains or any other kind of stains, and falled to say thatthough familiar with Lizzie Borden's wardrobe, the witness had ever seen anything like thisdress in the wearing ap- pare! of the young woman. All this is equally true. but nevertheless the Grand-jury was told that a dress was burned. Thetestimony presented yesterday morning in relation to the McHenry-Trickey episode was that dur- ingthe negotiations between the two the the connected with the . 7 indictment against Trickey was found on strength of stories to Sp effect that he ttempted, through Mrs. ure o i a cHenry, to secure the depart. Bria Sullivan from thie State by the payment of a sum of money. s alleged that the ten days’ adjournment of the eee ay was due solely to the de- sire of Atty.- - Pillsbury and District At- torney Knowlton to secure a unanimous vote for an indictment by furnishing corrobor- ative testimony to some already adduced yet the vote was not unanimous, although it was practically’ so, as the dissenters re- frained altogether from voting. Here are the facts so far as known of the tragedy, the mystery of which is yet to ke unraveled. The Bordens were killed on the 4th day of last August: Andrew J. Boriten was oneof Fall River’s most prominent and best known citizens. He was 70 years old, but hale and hearty, and bade fair tolive severalyears yet. eand his wife, Mrs. Abby Borden, lived in good style. With them lived two daughters by Mr. Borden’s first wife, Emma L., the elder, now away from home ona visit, and Eliza- beth D., who was at homeonthe day ofthe murder. Mr. Borden left his residence that morning and wentdown town to attend to his many business affairs. Between 9 and 10 o’clock he called atthe Union Savings Bank, of which he was president, and then went home. The servant girl, Bridget Sullivan, was downstairs with Mr. Borden shortty after he came in, when he said something about not being well, and taking off his coat he put on a short reefer or house coat and laid down on the lounge in the sitting-room. The servant went upstai’s to wash the windows in her bedroom in the third story and Knew nothing more of what occurred until called by Mr. Borden’s daughter, Elizabeth. The daughter was downstairs when her father came in. Going to anotber partof the houseshe says she heard her father groan. Going into the room where a few minutes before she had left him she found him lying on the sofa, his head and face covered with blood. The pillow upon which his head rested was carminized and on the floor a pool of blood had been formed. It had not yet coagulated, showing thatthe injuries which — it to flow had but recently been in- cted. Miss Elizabeth began to scream for her mother and Bridget, Noanswer came from tue mother. and ran downstairs. The nighbors were alarmed and soon there were several in the house. Messengers were sent for doctors and Dr. Bowen, who lives near by, said he would be there ina moment. Owlng tothe confu- sion it wassome time before the police were notified. Word reached headquarters that Mr. Borden had Deen seriously burt, but the terrible truth was not known untill Officer Doherty called at ihe house. ile looked at the body ofthe old man lying on the sofa, and sawthat murder had been done. ‘*Where is Mrs. Borden?’’ he asked. Everybody stoodaghast. Sodistracted had been all who saw the bloody spectacle in the parlor that they had not thought of the white-haired wife. They found her upstairs. Face downward, witharm extended, she lay on the fioor of her bed-room onthe second floor. A poolof biood about her head, the dishevellied hair end the cold, white face dis- closed another awful deed. She, too, had been murdered. The only living persons in the house when the alarm were given, so far asthe world yet knows, was Lizzie Borden and Bridget Sulli- van. Noone was seen to go into or come out of the house. The information about the burning of a woman’s dress inthe kitchen stove on the morning of the murder, now saidto be in possession of the Grand-jury and which must have been mainly liastru- mental in securing Lizzie Borden’s indict- ment, gives a new importancetothe story Lizzie told at the preliminary examination as to what she did and where she was on the The servant girl heard the cries | morning of the tragedy.

There are two evening papers and two morn- ing papers printed in English. We want badly, not a mere morning paper, but a morning newspaper, for social as well as political reasons. We want a newspaper that will not be offensive to good taste. Let me illustrate’’—and here the speaker picked up anewspaper file. ‘‘Here is a specimen of the way Cincinnati papers treat local events. The Cuvier Club hada dinner recently, and the Cincinnatl reporter revels in descriptions of dinners. In New York oysters are not re- garded withareverence, por are they here, except by the papers. Yet the Cincinnati scribe grabs his pen when oysters are served, and picturesquely writes as follows: First on the menu were the oysters, fat, solemn. and silent. They lay in artistic confusion in acir- cular depression inahuge block ofcrystalline ice, quietly taking on a delicious degree of frigidity that was soothing to the palate, hot aad dry with antici- Glancing again at the description of the Cu- vier dinner, the speaker said: ‘‘From a reading ofthis sort of thing, people East would be apt to think that oysters and snipe are great delicacies in Cincinnati, and that we are very ill-bred persons. Hear what our local historian says about broiled snipe: The punch finished, the servers came forth with tiny plates, each bearing a triumph of chef’s art in the form of a snipe, broiled, iaid op a bed of toast, and dampened witha moaicum of port wine sauce. The gourmands smiled as they tore the tender littie breasts and tasted the giorious flavor of the tiny little bird, and as they smacked their lips, passed a favorable verdict. **Imaginea party of gentlémen smacking their lips in unison after eating snipe,’’ ex- claimed the irritated critic of the Cincinnati historian. He paused fora moment as if to take breath, and then resumed: ‘‘If an East- ern newspaper man wrote in that style about a Manhattan Club d'nner,I have no doubt his paper would fire nim out. I readin the } New York papers a pleasing series of reports about the chrysanthemum show in your city. Well, we had aflower show here, and how did the paperstreatit? Everything that the reporter here sees suggests something to eat, and so in writing of our chrysanthemum show a local scribe saia: There is no valid reason why the chrysanthemum either as a hot vegetable ora cold salad, should not be added to the civilized cuisine of all countries, and there would seemto beevery probability in this country at least, should chrvysanthemums become popular as an adjunct toour bills of fare, of a very extensive supply of the flowers being available for the delight of a novelty-seeking and hungry public. Boiled and eaten hot, chrysanthemum flowers are saia to be delicious. Why not? *‘*What was the result of this tom-fool ad- vice?’’ exclaimed the critic, when he finished reading. ‘*‘Why,a party of young women residing on Walnut Hills boiled and ate a pot- ful of chrysanthemums, and a physician had to be called to attend to them. Fortunately forthe young women, the newspapers did not geton tothe case, These young women cannot looK ata chrysanthemum now with- out feeling faint. We can place no confideace in what weread. Let me illustrate again. Cincinnati has within its borders a large number of cultivated lovers of music. We want to patronize good singers and good musicians, Inreadingthe musical notices I often find some such misleading announce- ments as this, concerning a performer who in New York could not earn enough to pay for her washing by singing: Let me read: We will have a genuine treat this week in hearing Miss Blank sing.

PLANNING TO THROW OFF THE GALL: ING YOKE OF SPAIN, The Views of a Wealthy Sugar Planter Who Is Visiting This Country— Grounds of Complaint Against Span- ish Rule—Revolutionary Sccieties in American Cities. ORICAGO, Tll., Dec, 8.—‘*The flame of revo- lution will break out in Cuba before the close of another year,’’ said Senor Jose Marie, a wealthy Cuban planter, who has been in Chi- Cago forthe past three days on commercial business. ‘‘The old spirit of revolt against Spain,’’ said the Senor, ‘‘is not dead, and is only held in check by Spanish bayonets. “*After the warin Cuba the Cubans began new and more methodica! means for the final triumph of the revolution. They saw the mistakes of their previous attempts and de- Cided not to fight again untilall the factions of the island were harmoniously united with @ view to found a republic on other lines than G&military despotism ora government that would be racked by internal dissension. **Annexation to the United States as a po- litical solution of the difficulty has never been seriously contemplated by the majority of the people on the island. While friendship for the United States is universal, it is not thought advantageous either for the United States or Cuba to enter intoa political com- pact. The Cubans are anxious to develop in their own way their own republic. *“*All efforts to secure concessions from the Spanish government, relief from excessive taxation andthe like have proved failures. The annual sugar crop is not enough to pay these heavy burdens and leave the planter anything for himself. : **It is these things,’’ continued the Senor, “which have united the lovers of Cuban in. dependence, and will make them work in harmony for the cause of freedom from Span- ish domination.’’ Senor Marie says that Cuban revolutionary societies exist in Chicago, New York, New Orleans and many other American cities. There are said to be 8,000 Cuban patriots in this country ready to join in the war. In Ouba the revolutionist party is actively pre- Daring for the outbreak, and when the word is given the forces on Spanish and United States soll will act in conjunction for the Overthrow of the Spanish yoke. In New York three revolutionist clubs have Deen formed. The names of the clubs are the Los Independente, Jvuse Marti Club, named in honor ofits promoter, Senor Jose Marti, the Uruguayan Consul; and the Penos Neuvo. Next sunday the Porto Ricans of _—~ York will form a revolutionary associa- on. Many of the most prominent exiled Cubans think that the time is close at hand for the liberation of the island Reared in the atmosphere of insurrection, they wel- come any opportunity to oppose the Govern- mentof Spain. Duringthe past fifty years the little island has witnessed many attempts to plant a republic on its shores. The most formidable ofthe Cuban revolu- tions, and the one which came the nearest to a successfulissue tothe revolutionists, was the lastone which swept over the Island. Ten long years of fighting passed before Spain succeeded in crushing the spirit of the revolutionists who survived the battles of the war and forcing the leaders to acknowl- edge that the revolution was defeated. Even then, although forced to lay down their arms and surrenderto the conquering armies of Spain, the revolutionary leaders would not admit that Spain had beaten them. **The foilowers of the revolution have not been beaten,’’ they said, ‘‘they have been exterminated.’’ This rebellion is Known as the revolution of Yara. It began on Oct. 10, 1868, and ended on Feb. 28, 1878. One of the most important re- sults was that many of the leading Cuban cit- izens, Who affiliated with the revolutionists, were forced into exile. Cubans are confident thatif the next revolt is successful it will resuitin annexation to the United States. When the Yara revolutionary movement was becgun inist8 the Cuban Junta in New York had raised morethan 2,000,000 In the United states. What inducements were held outto the many from whom money was ob.- tained will perhaps never be known, but with it the Junta, with its headquarters con- stantly inthe city of New York, organized expeditions for the transportation of troops, arms, artillery and ammunition to the revolutionary armiesin Cubaand sent them out from the harbor of New York without molestation from the United States authori, ties. Morales Lemas, one of the most influential and wealthy of these, was presiding officer ofthe Junta. He diedin New York while the revolution was still in progress, Other mem. bers were Frederick Fesseo of Havana, who had charge of its financial affairs; signs. Alfera and Mora, who were charged with making purchases and arranging for the transportation of troops, arms, ammunition to Cuba; Dr. Armigo, Sig. Bassora and Ponce de Leon. Dr. Armigo was a wealthy resident of Havana, who had fied to this country to avoid the confiscation of his prop- erty. Hecontributed $300,000 of the wealth he had thus saved to the support of the revolution. Others who co-operated with or worked under the direc- tion ofthe Juntain this country or at the seat of war were Jose Martil, Emulio Nunez, Francisco M. Corrillo, Thomas Estrada Pal- ma, Aniceto G. Menocal, Dr. J. M. Parraga, Mme. Emilia Cassanova de Villaverae and the Americans, Gen. Thos. Jordan, Gen, W. A. C. Ryan and Capt. Peters, all of whom had seen service during the war of the rebel- lion. The majority of these are ready to again take up the battle forthe cause of Cuban independence. Of the Americans who went with the Jor- dan expedition, Gen. Ryan isdead. He re- turned to New York after the Jordan expedl- tion was successfully landed and assisted in organizing the expedition which went out on the ill-fated Virginius. He was again landea safely in Cuba, however, but was killed dur- ing the fusiliade at Santiago de Cuba in 1878. fordan's expedition salled from the harbor of New York on theafternoon of May 4, 1869, without the slightest interference from the United States authorities. Gen. Jordan has stated there wastoo much baste in sendin out his expedition. The revolution occuple its strongest position then and was better provided with financial support than atany other time. liad a thorough and careful tudy ofthe situation been made it would cave resulted in the landing of the expedl- tion atthe Bay of Barnes instead of the Bay of Nipe. Had they !anded there he could have transported 4,000 troops more to join them soon after the landing, and with this orce oftrained soldiers all ready for action e could have swept theisland. Ils expert- nce may be of service to the present revolu- lonists. Before the revolution was over Jordan com. anded probably the most curious army that ever went into battle. lt contained adveunt- urers, Cuban patriots, Americans, boys not yet over 15 years old and two companies of Uhinese—the l!aundrymen of Cuba, who had been pressed into the service, Not long bince one of the prominent pro- moters of the revolutionary movement, who was banished from tbe island, paid a visit to his compatriots in Havana, managing to evade the sleuths of the Onptain General, His object wastwofold. He went to consult with the leaders of the Cuban party at home as to the conditions which prevailed there; to find out what the sentiment o! the people was as to the propriety of another early struggle for their freedom from spain;to discover what strength such a movement would have and what fnancial resources the revolution- tscould vring to itsaid. He also went to pee what effect the exactions of the Spanish Government in taxations for the support of the home Government were having upon the nish tand-ownpers in Cuba. lie returned ly convinced that the next blow need not ng be delayed and that when it comes it wlll be successful, One of the chief causes of the increasing fiscontent with Spanish raie, the Senor s, is the fact that there has existed In Cubs foralongtime a combination between pumber of the officers of the army of occu- tion and the bandits who infest tue Island, e@ purpose of the combination was the kid- napping of wealthy natives and the procure- The traffic has flourished. f ransoms. py lanters have been reibl - ; oy ‘ Sree — nl = hd - | : : ; a it des di % MG a : Rowse . ea "T fen . . a P L ’ " = . 3 carried nd death unless they paid liberally for The immunity which Manuel a . the acknowledged leacer of all the brigands, so long eS et pe declared to have been due to this combination.

FIGHTING JIM’s FIGHT. Daring Oapture of Two Confederate Ships Off Galveston. Written for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. Thirty years inthe navy isalongtime. It ig a great deal longer than the majority of **navvies’’ serve. Butto this day the men who have long since discarded the wide flapped trousers,delight in recalling the days when they answered eight bells. It was thirty years on the day before elec- tion that Jouett earned for himself the name of Fighting Jim. Hewas at the head of a volunteer party that had left the United States frigate Santee to destroy the two Con- federate vessels, Gen. Rusk and Royal Yacht. Jouett was a lieutenant then. The Santee lay off the harbor of Galveston. The two Confederate vessels lay in the har- bor. Jouett requested to be placed in ones of a volunteer party to goand destroy the two Confederates. His request was granted. Twoofthe ship’s cutters, with about forty men aboard, were placed under his com- mand. A twelve-pound howitzer and some fireballs were putin the boats. Jouett took command ofthe first cutter. Gunner Carter the gun. Lieut. Mitchell com- the second cutter. The boats started for the ships, seven miles distant up the har- Approaching the Gen. Rusk in the dark- ness, the first cutter ran ashore, and the sec- ond, close behind,ran into her. Several oars were broken, and noise enough was made to warn the look-outs on board that vessel, The cutters then headed forthe royal yacht. The sailors in the cutters pulled like good fellows. Jouett gave the orderto fire. There was a snap. The first primer had tailed. The sail- ors aboard the royal yacht now halled the cutter. The men clinched theirteeth and rowed as if for dear life. Carter quickly ad- jJusted another primer and fired, placing a shell in the schooner below the water.-line. Trail oars! Stand byto board!’’ shouted Jouett. Therecollofthe gunhad destroyed the boat’s headway and made it impossible forthe men to board. The cutter was so nearthe schooner that Carter, revolver in hand, made the leap and found himself alone aboard the enemy’s craft. He dropped be- hind the schooner’s bits and opened fire. When Jouett saw thatthe boat was drifting back he Ordered the oarsto be gotten out again. Bell, the pilot, was shot as the cutter ran alongside the royalyacht. He fell right into fighting Jim’sarms, ‘ihe coxswain was wounded at the same time. **] can hear his cry now,’’said Fighting Jim in relating the incident to an old shipmate one ae ‘‘He said: ‘Oh, Mr. Jouett, they are killing us from the other boat.’ He was right, though he had been struck by a ball from the schooner. The other cutter had mistaken us for Confederates and they were firing onus. Weshouted to them, but the noise of the engagement drowned our voices and l ordered all butthe four oarsmen who were pulling to ie down in the boat.’’ As the boat neared the schooner again Jouett sprang aboard withthe boat’s painter and made her fast. ‘‘Now is your time! Come aboard,’’ he shouted and turned to rush forward. Inturning he ran against a pike held by a man who was braced in the cabin hatchway and the Dbiade passed through his right arm into his side. He was dazed and sat down onthe rail, though, as he afterwards said, he was unconscious of his wound. The man with the pike made a powerful thrustto push him overboard and Jouett, then first realizing his situation, threw himself back. Then, grasping the pike, still stickingin his body, he grappled with his assallant. In the scuffle the pike was broken and Jouett drew the blade from his side and, striking his enemy onthe head with it. threw it overboard. All this happened auickly and in the dark- ness. Jouett then rushed forward to aid Mr, Carter and the schooner’s crew ran below. The vessel was ina sinking conaltion, but he was determined to capture thecrew. The wound in hisarm bled so profusely that he once more became dazed, and to recover his senses struck his head violently against the schooner’s pivot gun. This roused him. Meanwhile the forts of the harbor had opened fireand several gunboats could be seen coming down the river. Carter had sprungtothe hatchway, revolver in hand, and Jouett shouted to the crew below tocome up and surrender, but not a man came. ‘*‘Men go down and drive them out,’’ he shouted to his own crew, now all on board, but not one ofthem went. Maddened at this he sprang below himself and found there ten armed men. Twoofthem started to go up, but suddenly someone shouced to the Doat’s crew to retreat, and all, excepting Carter, ran tothe side, jumped into the boat and shoved off. Jouett, hearing the stam- pede, pulled down the two men who were clambering up and went up himself. Leaving Carter to guard the hatchway he rushed after his men, jumped into the boat himself and ordered the crew to pull back again. They obeyed, and Jouett, again leaping on board, rushed into the hold the second time. He had justthen given the order again to the Confederates to go on deck, when some one of the boat’s crew raised the cry, ‘‘Santee.’’ This was the watchword for retreat, and the crew made another wild rush for the boat. By this time Jouett’s position was des- perate, but he backed up the hatchway pointing his revolver at the heads of the enemy, and reached the deck once more only to find that Car.ter was again alone. ‘*Drive thesefellows back whilel guard the hatch,’’ shouted Jouett, and Carter rap to the stera rail. The boat was some fifty yards away and he shouted with Diind rage: ‘*Go back, yoa cowards. Tell your shipmates you deserted your officers. Mr. Jouettand I will bring this vessel out alone.’’ stung by his bitter reproach the crew again returned tothe vessel. Carter then went be- low and drove up all but two and the Cap- tain. They refused to comeup, and Joustt, threatening them with a shell, lighted a fire ball and threw it below, leaping down the hatch afterit. ‘1 hey thought it a shell and sprang quickly tothe deck, where they sur- rendered. Jouett siezed the schooner’s col- ors, got his party, prisoners and all, into the cutter and shoved off. His peril, however, was not over. The enemy was in hot pursult when Jouett and his prize crew started for their ship, seven miles distant. Sitting on the gunwale of his boat, between the captain and mate of the schooner, with nothing butared shirt wrapped around his fingers to stanch the fiow of his blood, he commanded a retreat that took three hours, though at times he eould hardly speakfor pain and weakness. 7 in the morning i\e reached the Santee, \Wiie Secretary of the Navy ordered Jouett to come home and take acommand worthy of his valor.

Carl Marr’s Picture at the Museum of Fine Arts. a CRITICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PAINT- ING AND ITS STORY. The Strange Sect From Which the Pict- ure Takes Ite Name-—Exhibition of the Society of Artists at the Hoff- man Building — St. Louis Painters Make a Creditable Display of Work. It bas been the policy of the director of the Museum of Fine Arts to secure if possible any painting of great merit which comes to this country and exhibit it for the benefit of the St. Louis public. And the latest thing in this line is the famous work of the American painter, Carl Marr. Carl Marr was born in 1858 in Milwaukee, Wis.,and is as his name indicates, of German descent. His artistic training is also German, beginning at Weimar under Schaus, con- tinued at Berlin under Gussow, and finished in Munich under Otto Seitz, Gabriel Max and W. Lindenschmidt. He still livesin Munich, where he obtained the first medal at the Academy of Fine Artsin 1889. His paintings have all been exceedingly well done in both conception and technique, but the great picture ‘‘The Flagellants,’’ now on exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, has spread his reputation far and wide. The picture by its very intensity and directness would impress even the most careless ob- server, but like all historical paintings a little Knowledge of the subject adds a great deal to the appreciation of the picture. During the thirteenth and fourteenth cen- turies Europe was from time to time swept by great waves ot religious excitement,great revivals ofan emotional nature, of so great an intensity as to drive the ignorant people ofthe medi@val times out of their slender stock of wits and send them ina sort of peri- patetic camp-meeting over vast stretches of country. In no country were these manifes- tations more intense than in sunny Italy,a country where religion has been described by Heine as ‘‘parentheti- cal; that is a prayer between two sins.’’ Both prayer and sins being, however, thoroughly genuine, for hypocrisy is not an Italian characteristic. The sect of the Flagel- lants, which frstappeared about 1260,was one of the most remarkable of all these revivals. These people received their name from the fiagellations or scourgings which they inflicted on themselves, they belleving that by mortifying the flesh in every conceivable manner they pronpitiated the wrath and gained the favor of the Delty. That is, they sought to ‘‘merit heaven by making eartha hell.’’ One might call it a sort of payment in advance of the punish- ment deserved by the ‘‘sins of the world, the lusts of the flesh and the pride of life.’’ Of course, certain ascetics had at all times scourged and otherwise tormented § their recreant bodles, but at this time the penitents were no louger satis- fled to perform these acts he privacy of their closets, but began to whip themselves in public by way of still greater humiliation and consequent glorification in the eyes of God. They gath- ered into great bands, traveling from place to place, carrying banners and crosses, chanting penitential hymns and scourging themselves till they drew blood. So extreme did their penitence become and so dalsorderly did its manifestations grow that they were finally suppressed by thechurch. It is this subject whichthe young artist has treated with a mastery of insight und technique. The scene is the market place of some great Italian city filled with a wild procession in which the expression of penitence for past Sins 1s SO powertul that not only do the relig- lous Maniacs scourge themselves putthe con- tagion spreads ainong the entire people so that many of them also join them in thelr acts of penance. Partof the crowd, preceded by crucifixes and banners and priests bearing holy pictures, is entering an immense church at the right in the fore- ground whose steps are crowded byen ex- cited throng of the populace. Another di- vision passes by, evidently about to exhibit their repentancein the streets of the town. People of all ages and both sexes are found in the wild throng. There isa great contrast between the expressions on the face of one of the priests whoreluct- antly accompany the procession, evidently not iiking this wild exhibition any too well, andthe old men penitents, most of whoin doubtless have grievous sinsto account for, crimes committed inthe ruthless strife of Guelph and Ghibbeline, or In the heat of pas- sion which springs sounrestrained under the scorching Italian sun. The ensemble of the picture is very im- pressive as well as the detall. And inthe midst of all this worthless penitence and brutal selftorture the artist has placed in the foreground the exquisitely pure and ex- alted face of a child who, dressed in spotless white, seems like an angel of peace and ten.- derness in the midst of strifeand retribution. Itis altogethera very significant picture, and will well repay a visit. WILLIAM SCHUYLER. - ART EXHIBIT. in Successful Display of Pictures by Sr. Louis Artists. The exhibition of pictures at the Telephone Building, Tenth and Olive streets, under the auspices of the St. Louls Society of Artists, is successful far beyond the expectation of the members ofthe society. In their efforts to attract attention to their work they have labored earnestly to make the exhibit inter. esting and Instructive, and feel assured that their many friends and the public generally will give them their cordiaLsupport. ‘ihe largest canvas on the Ywalis is a domestic scene by Frank Endres. A young woman sits wearlly n an invalid chair, the motherand doctor ey!i- dently holding converse as to her conva- lescence. In the background We See one maid holding the door for another carryinga tray of delicacies, the whole impressing one with that livening up of a household atter a severe liiness. Mr. Endres has some strong portrait work and one especially good study itn char- acter and technique ofan olf woman. Jno. A. Fry, well Known tothe St. Louls pubiic, has chosen his subjects from the broad wheat felds or Southern Illinois and the Pacific Coast, landscapes and marines, conscientiously studied. In one landscape he shows the figure of a woman against an evening sky, warm and glowing, the woman seeming perfectly a part of the landscape, in her strength, freedom of movement and rich coloring. of his medium, and understanding of the | subjects he interprets. J, Brun’s work is of the English school, Subjects of inland in- terest, studied treatment, ofttimes with poetic feeling, mountains and valleys and quiet shady nooks. Sylvester . Annan’s Wore is charming in tone and treatment, painted in that more solid of water colors. guache. His ‘‘On the Gascon- ade’’ is a famillar subject. Miss Anne I. Shands has painted pansies, snowballs, pe- tunias and verbenas with dainty fresh- ness and a free, lively touch, which catches their very essence. Miss Martha Hoke has landscapes painted from subjects on an old farm in northwest Missouri. ‘‘An Old Gate,’’ ‘‘A Brookside,’’ etc., are bold in treatment, making a strong contrast to her dainty miniature work, which she also ex- hibits. Miss Lilllan Brown is represented by two figures lately received from Paris, one a boy with a mandolin, in which she shows the freedom in which sbe handlesa brush full of color, and a shy model that surely does not need a name, 80 Well does it tell its own story—two little chubby hands holding fast some spring fowers—it isa symphony in brown and yellow. Ben Brown and F. L. Stoddard are also represented. Mr. Bring- hurst, the only sculptor exhibiting, has a head of Jeanne a’ Arc,a stanaard of Don Quixote and sancho Panza, a baby head, and Francisca and Paola di kimini—all finely con- ceived and fine in feeling, especially the last named. These are only a few ofthe paintings ex- hibited in the gallery. The exhibition Is open every day and Is free tothe public, as it is the work ofthe artists’ society, which is endeavoring to further the art movementin St, Louls. There ought to be enough people with homes to beautify at the modest prices named for the pictures to a the entire collection. The range subject and method of treatment is suf- ficiently varied to meet the requirements and charming water-colors and oI at prices which must be paid for good etchings ought to haveno room for hesitation. There is scarcely an artist represented, but has been trained In the best schools abroad, and when they return and offer unmistakable evidence of well-direcied effort, civic pride if nothing higher should sustainthem, As the exhibl- tion closes on the 7ththereitsno time to be lost. The china painting of Miss Anne Shaw is recognized by connoisseurs as remarkable for its artistic daintiness and originality. Her art receptions have been rare treats and the announcement that she will have a special holiday reception at her home, 3137 Brantner place, on Dec. 9and 10 will be wel- come to lovers of the beautiful in china decoration, to which St, Louisans with artis- tic tastes are devoting so much attention now. THE METEORIC SHOWER OF 1833. Described by the Late Russell Hinckley for the Sunday Post-Dispatch. [The following account of the meteoric shower at Belleville, Llli., in i833 was written by Mr. Kussell Hinckley just before his suaden death a short time ago. Mr. Hinckley wasan old resident of Belleviile prior to his coming to St, Louis. His attention be- ing attracted tothe telegraphic accounts of Biela’s coinet he decided to write this account of the me- teoric shower for the SUNDAY POS8T-DISPATCH, to the columns of which he frequently contributed in- teresting articles. He expired suddenly and after his funeral the first draft of his promised article was found on the table of his study. It was the last work of his long and honorable life and reads as follows:] The near approach of the comet so recently discovered by Prof. Holmes elicits much speculation upon this visitor from space, and many theories gre being advanced pro and con as to the relative connection of comets and so-called star showers. Whena boy of ll years it was my extreme good fortune to wit- ness the celebrated meteoric dis- play of November, 1833. Living on a farm at that time eariy rising, between 3 and 4a. m., was required to insure a good day’s work. A brother 3 years my senior had started the fire and went to the front door when suddenly he called my name with the exclamation, ‘‘Come here quick; the stars are fadlling.’’ The rush of @wrolites from size of lightning bug to an orange with an oc- casional much larger cne that would light up the heavens was incessant. ‘*Look be- yond,’’ I said, ‘‘and you see the stars are all there, they are not falling.’’ Our mother had charge of the household, father being at Bellevilie at the time where he was engaged on a job of carpentering. Immediately we all hurried to put on our clothes to attend to work and at the same time to view this wonder of wonders 3o new and unknown tous, which lasted until broad daylight. The night was still and wondrously clear. Atone time, having to draw a bucket of water from the well, some thirty feet deep, just atthe moment the bucket was at the bottom of the wella gi- gantic meteor, the largest that fell, shot athwart the zenith directly over- head, and the Hight it made was 50 vivid that I could see the bottom of the well, the bucket full of water and the fibres of the rope with more distinctness than the sun could possibly give. Itlefta stream of light in its wake that was as white as snow, as- suminga sinuous and serpentine trali that only faded from the sight as the sun began to show its disc in the East. The Saltimore American gave the best description of this monster, and Prof. Loomis of Yale College wrote outthe best account of that event I have ever met with. An anecdote or two as iliustrating how peo- pie feltatthissudden and wonderful sight, must close this hastliy written paper. A farmer named Scott, who lived in Shiloh Valley, St. Clair County, Ill., started early to St. Louis with marketing, and when near the French village bordering on the Grand Merias Lake, the fallwas in full force and I have often heard him declare that he could see them plump into the water, This, however, was an optical illusion. AS Stated before, our father wasin Belleville and he occupied a room where he could look out of a window that faced on a street and see the display. His window could be reached when suddenly there came a tapping and a call, ‘‘Uncle Tim getup and come out. The whole town is awake (it only bad abouttwo or three hun- dred inhabitants) and down at the bell-mak- er’s on lilinois street they are holding a prayer meeting and Mrs, is calling upon all to pray, for the final end, the day of judgment is at hand, the greatand terrible day of the Lord, and when the sun rises in the morning it will turn into blood. ’’ Suddenly he shoved up the window, and leaning out his head he said: ‘*Does she say the sun will be turnedto blood? Go back and tell her she’s Wrong in herscripture. It isthe moon thatistobe turnedato biood.’’ They meade haste to do so, and it Is needless to say that the pow-wow broke up without a doxology or a dismission. RUSSELL HINCKLEY. Federal Court Notes.

PRINCETON COLLEGE. Important Action of the Faculty Relative to the Course of Study. PRINCETON, N. J., Dec. 8,—One of the most important actions of the Princeton faculty for some years was made public to-day. The entrance requirements to the classical de- partment have been revised, and the new ar.- rangement of the curriculum is considered a great advance. The main features of the re- vised requirementsare: 1, The introduction of Herodotus as a requirement In Greek in place of Homer. Homer will be received as an equivalent, but Herodotus is preferred and is expected to gradually supersede Homer entirely. Homer will accordingly be reserved for reading in college as an epic poem. 2. The introduction of the elements of one modern language, either French or German, asa requirement. 3. The alteration of the English requirement to an excrcise ‘n English prose composition, based upon specified authors. Itis felt that practice in English composition ts too much neglected in the preparation of students. 4. The introduction of the important principles of maximum and minimum entrance requirements. The min- imum requirements are the oli requirements simplified and possibly slightly raised. They are to be required ofall candidates and in- clude English composition, Latin grammar and Latin prose, ‘*Cesar,’’ five books ‘‘Vir. gil,’’\six books‘ *Cicero,’’ nine orations, Greek grammar and Greek prose, **Xenophon,’’ the elements of French or German, ‘arithme- tic, algebra through quadratics and all piane geometry. These minimum require- ments are equal to the Yale entrance and su- periortothe Harvard minimum. There are advanced requirements in each subject, so that those who come up finely prepared in additional quantity as well as quality may get advanced standing in one or more of the subjects of freshman instruction at the start. Inthis way it ts hoped to encourage the best schools inthelr efforts to send up doys who will not only meet the minimum requirements well, but distinguish themselves in one or more departments for which they have special aptitude.

At present it has 125 local unions, with a large membership and with every reason to expect a large increase during the approaching year. The barbers congratulate themselves upon having brought about since their or- ganization many reforms, such as the aboll- tion of Sunday work and the shortening of the week-day hours of toilin many localities, and it is hoped in the near future to make these changes for the better general throughout the United States.

QUESTIONS WHICH WILL COME BEFORE THE GATHERING AT WASHINGTON. Biennial Session ofths Union of Amer!l- can Jewish Congregations and the Annual Session ofthe Central Confer- ence of American Rabbis—Conditions ior the Admission of Gentiles. The Union of American Jewish Congrega- tions and the Central Conference of American Rabbis will meetin Washington, D. C., next Tuesday morning, the former in bDil-ennial and the latter in annual session. These conventions are the most important Jewish gatherings heldinthe United States and they engross the attention of all mem- bers of the fold of Judea. Rabbi Sale of Shaare Emeth Temple and Rabbi Leon Harri- son of Temple Israel will leave to-night to take part in the rabbinical confer- ence and they will be accom- panied by several of thelr flock, who are delegates to the convention ofthe Union of Congregations. Temple Israel and Shaare Emeth are the only St. Louls syna- gogues affiliated with the Union of Jewish Congregations, but Rabbis Spitz and Messing are members of the rabbinical conference as also are rabbis Harrison and Sale. But the strictly orthodox rabbis do not belong to the conference. The findings of the conference of rabbis have no binding force on the members, for as its name implies, it is a _ deliber- ative body, with a free ex- change’ of views as its object, and not a synod or council with legislative powers. Therabbis are bound only by the irrevocable laws of Israel, handed down from time immemorial. The conference can merely make recommendations, but nevertheless, its proceedings are well scanned by all the Jewish people, because at its sessions the sense of all the faithful on im- portant questions are voiced by the rabbis. ADMISSION OF GENTILES. This year’s conference will be very important because the much discussed proposition of the admission of Gentiles to Judaism without undergoing the rite of cir- cumcision will again come up before the rabbis. When this question was proposed to the last conference, held in New York in July, 1891, the major- ity of the members decided that a rabbi. could admit a Gentile to the fold if satisfied that the proselyte had con- formed with all the other condl- tions,namely, if he had studied the teachings of Israel, and obtained the consent of all the members of the congregation to his admis- sion, besides having given a written promise that he woulda rear his children as Jews. But very many rabbis declored that they would not followthe ad- vice of the conference, and they havesteadily refused to imit any gentile to the privileges f Judaism if he _ did not fulfill all the obligations imposed. Many of the rabbis, too, whoare opposea to letting down the bars were not present at the conference and they will prob- ably makean effort to have the concession of i891 withdrawn, andthe stern law ofthe church on the disputed point reaffirmed. It is certain that the discussion is by no means ended for it has been carried on in the Jewish journals since the Conference of ’91 and it will Nhaveto be given vent at the conference which assembles this week, INTERMARRIAGE THE CAUSE. The circumstances which created this dlg- cussion about Gentile converts, and the article of Jewish faith which has never before been called into question since thedays of Moses, are somevw hat ro- mantic, In these United States where a dif- ference of religion is a trifling § dif- ficulty in the course of true love, many a Gentile beau and Jewish belle have gone a wooing and came back toask-the consentof the young lady’s parents toa marriage. The Jews are like the Catholics in their attitude toward mixed marriages, believing them not con- ducive to wedded bliss, and the Jewish parents almost always objected to the marriage of their daughter to a Gentile, The ardent lover in most instances readily declared that he was prepared to become a Jew, but he stopped short before the most trying partof the ceremony and asked the rabbtif it could not be dispensed with. Thus beg an the present discussion. The first instance of this kind to at- tract attention happened about twenty years ago. Rabbispitz, editor of the Jewish Voice of this city, who was at that time the pastor ofa Milwaukee synagogue, was asked to admita gentileto his congregation without this one stern rite and he sent a cir- cular lettertothe prominent rabbis of the country to obtain their opinion, Rabbi B. Felsenthal of Chicago wrote an exhaust- ive reply. He would not commit himseif for Or against the propriety of the ing, saying on the one hand that if the can- become a faithful that it was bo other band, if I; this practice became common, a | creep into the fold. ‘Heconcludea 2 best not to adopt the practice, until itre-| ceived the approvalof all the Jewsin the world. THE QUESTION REVIVED. The question was in abeyance until three years ago Rabbi Dr. Berkowltz of Kansas city, now of Philadelphia, reopened the discussion. Dr. Wise, President of the Hebrew Union College at Cincinnati, and President of the rabbinical conferenco, gave an opinion fav- orable tothe suspension of the formality in the case of adult converts. Thus the matter came before the conference of 1891, and will in all probability be brought up for discus- sion In the conference of this year. Other matters will come before the con- ference. The establishment of a large fund for superannuated rabbis will receive a good Gealofattention. Sucha fund was founded a few years ago, and the rabbis now desire to increass it. An annual register containing a stenographic account of the work of the conference and able papers by the leadingrabbis Is issued each year after the adjournment of the conference. CONVENTION OF THE CONGREGATION. The convention ofthe Union of American Jewish Congregations will have many im- portant topics to engage its attention. The last convention was held in Baltimore in 1890 in July, which untiltbis year was tne month of meeting, both for the Union and the conference, One of the matin objects ofthe unton Is to maintain the Hebrew Union College, a rab- binical seminary at Cincinnati. This tinst}- tution was founded In 1874, and the present pastors of many of the most influential synagogues are gradu- nates of this institution. At each biennial convention of the Union the prog- ress of the college is reported and provision is made for its needs. Nothing out of the ordinary, relative tothe college, will engross the attention of this year’s convention, The probabie restriction of immigration by Congress may cause the convention to memoriailze the National Legislature. The Jewish people are not unre- servedly opposed to immigration restriction but they are afraid that Congress may try to shut out Russian Jews altogether and thus leave those unfortanate people without a refuge in the civiilzea world. The convention of Hebrew congregations will perhaps ask Congress not to exclude able-bodied Russian Jews, who have means and the ability to support themselves. A very important matter which the conven- tion will consider will be the adoption of the revised Jewish prayer-book, recommended by last year’s conference of rabbis. Certain passages ofthe old prayer-book remain un- changed in the new one, but a large part of the text has been changed from Hebrew to English, and the whole has been consider- ably abbreviated. This revised book of prayer will have no value untilit is adopted by the Union of Hebrew Congregations. ‘There will be about 200 lay delegates in attendance at the convention, and about 100 rabbis at the conference. B. Frieberg of Cincinnati ts President of the Union of Hebrew Congrega- tions, and Lippman Levy, also of Cincinnati, is Secretary. Dr. Isaac M. Wise of Cincin- nati is President of the Rabbinical Confer- ence, PAINTED THEM GREEN. Vandals Bedaub Various Statues and Furnishings of Central Park. New YorK, Dec. 8.—Vandals of the most vicious kind invaded Central Park early yes- terday morning and wrought havoc with the statuary, the marbie arch, the walks and set- tess. Green paint was daubed on almost everything of value. Allof the park officers were on duty and yet at least three men who did the painting had the run of nearly half the park for an hour ormore. The depreda- tions were not discovered until daylight yes- terday. The first thing which met a police- man’s gaze was a great patch of green paint on the face of the bronze statue of Sir Walter Scott. The vandals had thrown paint on the treesand shrub- bery, and zig-zagging their way across lots they had struck the west drive, where what few settees there were out received thelr full share ofthe emerald color. The pole that bears the play-flag was daubed with paint In spotstoa helght of six feet. The ropesof the fag had beencut, the flag hauled down, treated to a liberal dose ofthe green mix- ture, trampled under foot and torn and rent. The marble arch was daubed here and there. The statue of Beethoven also suffered at the hands of the miscreants. Green bedecked the face and shoulders. One of the female figures which helps to makeup oneof the finest statues in the park received acoaton her face, bust and hair. The music stand, the circular fountains and the walls surrounding a part of the Casino receiveda liberal coat. Schiller’s statue was covered with big blotches, some of which will be hard to re- move. The malicious trio wentdown the terrace steps tothe big fountain which was similarly treated. There are hard feelings amongthe park laborers against Foreman Murphy,and ashis nawe was paintedona statue it is supposed the work was done to hurt him, Bank of Lonoke Failure.

New York, Dec. 1.—Not every one who eatsa table d’hote dinner has the satisfac- tion of knowing that it was created by a chef who once had the distin- guished honor to cook for royalty. **Created’’ is used advisedly, because so many table ad’hote dinners are evolved from nexttonothing.

A little restaurant on Houston street, not farfrom Broadway, has for its chef Adolf Schilling. Mle wasacook by birth. By that is not meant that he kept his parents in hot water. He was also acook by inheritance, A cook by inheritanceisas rare asa Swiss Admiral. But Adolf Schlilling’s father, Carl, ruled the kitchen of the Grand Duke of Saxe- Weimarin his palacein Weimar. Carl, belt sald with all due honor to his mgmory, could cook a vreakfast that would make a mum- my’s mouth water. Frequently, when the Grand Duke awoke withthe katzenjammer, Carl set a simple but tempting dish before him that provoked a flow of the Grand Ducal saliva and so restored His Highness’s appetite. Ina word, when the Grand Dake felt Rocky, Carl was bis Moses, With that pride in his profession that pos- sesses allreally good cooks—alas and alack how few these are—Cari schilling determined that his son Adolf should . be a cook, too. So when the boy was old enough he sent him to the primary of the kitchen; set him at paring potatoes. Gradually Adolf rose in the school of the culsine until he could make asoup,a saiadanda sauce. Then his education was finished. Ail else was as easy to him as twice two to a geometrician, Now this Grand Duke of Weimar had a ‘daughter named Augusta, and to her came wooing Prince William of Prussia,the brother of the then King Frederick Wililam of Prus- sia. Augusta and William were wed and went tolive In Berlin. Naturally Augusta yearned for the cooking of Weimar. The cooks of Berlin were as scullions, in her thinging, tothe chefs of her nativecity. So she sent forand fetched Adolf Schilling to Berlin and set him overthe kitchen of her very modest establishment. In those daysthe Princess Augusta wrotethe menu for the next day’s meais with her own hand. Then she sum- moned Schilling and he deferentially offered suggestions and amendments. ‘Then he cooked the meals. Time passed. King Frederick died and William became King of Prussia. Schilling became king ofthe royal kitchen. It was no longer necessary to make hash to-day of the remnant of yesterday’s beefsteak, or to hesi- tate ifthe price of caulifower had risen @ pfennig.

He is a reat, tall fellow, stout and active, witha orid complexion, gray hairand gray pointed beard. That even the aged Duchess of Saxe- Weimar remembered the young cook grate- fully for duchesses can be grateful to cooks, is proven by the fact that when she cele- brated her golden A aga in Weimar she graciously sent Schilling the festival menu with photographs and autographs of herseif and her husband.

It Is Finished in Forcelain ani ‘4s $4,000,000. China, the land of towers, pagodas and gigantic images, has nothing in the way of artificial curiosities that excites the wonder and admiration of the traveler more than do the ruins of the famous Porcelain Tower of Nankin. . This oddest of architectural wonders, says @writer in the Philadelphia Press, was fin- ished in the year 1430, after an expenditureo nineteen years of labor anda sum of money equal to $4,000,000 in United States currency, and stood for nearly fouranda quarter cen- turies, until 1856, the most marvelous build- ‘ingevererected by human hands. It was octagonal in form, 260 feet high, divided into nine stories, each of which was provided withacornice above and a gallery below. The name ‘'Porcelain Tower’’ was applied to this unique structure on account of the fact of the outside of the entire work having been finished with porcelain slabs of various sizes, shapes andcolors, Atevery one ofthe nine stories the projecting roof of the lleries was covered with green tiles, eachof the eight projecting corners being provided with a farge bell, making a grand to of eighty- one corner bells. Other bella ontop and in- side the structure ran the number up to 152 the smallest of which ts said to have weig 800 pounds, and the larger size about an even 1,000 pounds. Ranged in rows between the bells were 128 bronze and silver lamps, which were regularly lighted every night in the ear. The apex of the tower was a gigantic pine- apple, whose base started at a 260-foot level ana extended upward for ten feet, this in turn being surmounted by acopper globe two feet in diameter. A spiral stairway of over three hundred steps led from base to summit and was wholly constructed of polished mar- ble, brass and porcelain. The building was originally constructed as a gift toan Em- press andonthat account was always kept in repair at Government expense. In 1801 lightning struck and tore off the pineapple and the three top stories, but the injury was repaired as soon as possible after qd, an the building would doubtless have surviv for centuries longer had not the ‘Yai ig rebels destroyed it in the year mention the opening.

Written for the SUNDAY Post-DIsPaTou. When an enthusiastic paleontologist sits Gown in front of a few well-authenticated antediluvian bones and biithely begins the work of ‘‘restoring’’ to public study the skeleton of the animal to which the bones once belonged, it may truthfully be said that timeisnoobjectto him, Unerringly guided ‘back through the ages to the particular | Mississippi River, éscorted him miocene, pliocene or post- pliocene ‘‘period’’ in which that animal lived and moved and had its being, the savant calmly annihilates thousands of years by the mingled power of Science and the imagination, and then, with the centuries-old skeleton = theory thatthe animal had sixteen molars, while it has since been learned to have had only four. But the mastodon, after all, is much larger than the African elephant. It was not until 1801 that the perfect re- mains of the skeleton of a mastodon were found. An American naturalist named Peale found one in the cigy on the banks of the Hudson River near Newburg, N. Y., and six months later the same gentleman found an- other in a marsh some miles west of the Hudson. Two skeletons, nearly complete, were formed from these, one of which Is still in the museum of Philadelphia, the second being sent to London. Other bones of the mastodon have been found since then. One tooth found weighed seventeen pounds. The aborigines of this country called the mastodon ‘‘the father ofthe ox,’’ and there were many legends regarding it. The scien- tific name ‘‘mastodon’’ is derived from two Greek words meaning a teat-like tooth. It is now known thatthe mastodon fed, like the elephant, on the roots and fieshy partsof vegetables. The ‘*Ceratosaurus Nasicornis,’’ of which a cut is also given, is known to have been Mastodon Americanus. (One thirty-second natural size.) for his only companion, he stands for a little while in the midst ofthatexceedingly primi- tive world when man was not, and brings back from its mystery the form of the anl- mal that existed before there was a human eye in all the universe toseeit, But that the **restored’’ skeleton which is the resuit of his labors is a correct representation of the bone structure of the animal to which it be- longed there is no occasion to doubt, The fact is established not only by scientific the- ory, but by the discovery of perfectly pre- served skeletons of animals of the same class that already form the chief ornaments of the great museums of the world. The study of these primitive animals, whose kind is now, and has been for cycles of time, extinct onthe earth where they were once almost the sole lords, is as deeply fascinating to the ordinary mind as tothat of the trained scientist. It offers a combination of romance and science that cannot be resisted, and its facts and figures swimina seaof the un- known and imaginative which gives a phos- phorus like brilliancy to them not possessed by the cold facts and figures touching upon the world as we know It. There have been a number of these restor- a carnivorous animal of moderate size. The skull is very large in proportion to the rest of the skeleton, andthe posterior region Is elevated. It resembles in general out- une that of a crocodile. The lower jaws are large and ~powerful, and the cervical vertebrae differs from that of any other known reptile. The fore limbs are very small and there were four digits in the front foot. Thetypespecimen of the cera- tosaurus from which the accompanying illus- tration was made was about twenty-two feet long when alive, and as restored stands twelve feet high. It wasfound by Mr. M. P. Files in Colorado, The* prehistoric animal ‘‘claosaurus an- necteus’’ hadalong. narrow skull, with a blunt muzzle that was probably covered in life with a thick correous integument. The elongation of the fore arm is a peculiar feature. The fore foot was very long and contained three function digitsonly. This may be explained by supposing that the animal gradually assumeda more erect posi- tion until it became essentially a biped. The reptile shown in the cut was nearly thirty feet in length when alive, and about fifteen feet in height. The remains were obtained by Messrs. J, B. Hatcher and A. L, Sullivan ou Claosaurus Annecteus. ations of prehistoric animals made by scientists both of Europe and this country. Among American savants who have done dis- tinguished work in such a field are Prots. 0, C. Marsh, Richard Owen, J.C. Warren anda others. The later work has been done largely by Marsh for the United States Geolog- ical Survey, and consists, of course, of restorations of the skeletonsof antediluvian animals found inthis country. Of these the most notable are those of the Mastodon, the Ueratosaurus Nasicornis and the Claosaurus Annectens. The scientific value of the restorations cannot well be estimated, but asopeningupa fleld for common study of prehistoric animal life, they are of incalcula- bie value to the student and tothe unprofes- sional public. The first and most interesting of these **restorations’’ is that of the Mastodon Americanus (of Cuvier), a cut of which ac- companies thisarticle. It was towards the middie of the last century that this masto- don first attracted attention in Europe. In the year 1705, it is true, some traces of the animal had been found at Albany, now the capital of New York, but the discovery at tracted little attention. In 1739 a French ofm- cer, M. de Longuell, was traversing the vir- gin forestsofthe Ohio in order to reach the (One-fortieth natural ‘size. ) ae in Wyoming. They are those of a herbivor- ous animal.

To those, however, who can take such a pRasure, Thursday must have beena pecullarly gratifying occasion, forthe crowd of human beings was very large and amusing. All are doubtless anxious to learn what the animals were giving thanks for. The cat animals had probably most to be thankful for. Theirenjoyment was pure and great. Among other things a whole goat was dli- vided among them in addition to their ordl- nary allowance of beef. The goat was eaten by the lions and tigers. Beef every day, with- out variation fora whole year, even when it isof the excellent quality supplied to. the Central Park carnivora, becomes wearisome, In a state of nature the tiger, for instance, whose principal article of diet is beef, would vary it with pig, deer, antelope and many other things, not to speak of small boys, who are eaten only asaregular thing bythe de- graded man-eaters. Goat was, therefore, a peculiarly welcome addition tothe menu of the carnivora house, The goat slaughtered for the occasion was one which bad almost outlived his career of usefulness in the park, but had not died a natural death. His corpse was not, on this account, any the less enjoyable. A small portion of it wasan agreeable and spicy ad- dition to the regular allowance of beef. Of ing.

The loaves were dropped one by one into the mouths of the expectant pair.

The animals have no more devoted friend than a colored man who spends the greater part of his time about the menagerie.

The cat animals were fed at 1:30 instead of 2 o’clock, another concession made for Thanksgiving Day. Shortly before feeding time the curious behavior of theftigress at- tracted the attention of the zoologist, who had come to enjoy seeingthe animals enjoy themselves. The tigress was not aware that she was about to get an unusually large din- ner, or she would have been bounding about the cage inanticipation. To tellthe truth, atthis moment she hadher eye on avery round, small boy. This specimen of the human species was leanffig over the second rail of the barrier in front of the tigress’ cage.

Squatting down, it appears, is the customary and most con- venient position from which to make a spring. Any man or other animal who entered her cage would be sprung upon without delay. Fortunately her husband, who is now kept ina cage next to hers,is innodanger of physical violence from his ill-tempered wife, forthe is nearly twice her size. He is prob- ably the largestand most magnificent tiger to be found incaptivity. Itis very appropri- ate that he should be the property ofthis municipality. His facehas a magnanimous and almost urbane expression. He looks too great to bother about a miserable little man. Nevertheless, he was very grateful to Mr. Maginnis for his Thanksgiving dinner of beef and goat. Another carnivorous animal who dined wellandina cheerful spirit was the com- mon, ordinary American wildcat. He dlis- claims any intention of planning worthicss banking schemes. The lions, leopards, pan- thers and all their relatives, great and small, were thoroughly pleased with their treat- ment. But a more affecting scene, and one appeal- ing to the best emotions of our human na- ture, was presented by the hippopotamus family, which has its winter dwelling in the carnivora house. The hippopotamus father, Caliph, the wife, Miss Murphy, and the Gaughter, Fatima, exhibited joy in every part of their expressive lineaments. The hip- popotamus isan affectionate animal and at all times given to playfulness. How seldom do we hear of a member of this family hurt- ing a human being, even when treated with great inconsiderateness. Everything about the hippopotamus is more or less curved, His mouth, for instance, curves, and the end of his nose is round. His eye is also very large and round and his jaws, though in- clined to be square, have nosharp corners. His neck, which bears a certain resemblance to that of a horse, is curved as to its length and round the otherway. From whatever point of view you look at his body it is round. This roundness of aspect, taken together with a very shiny, brown skin, makes the hippopotamus appear to be constantly smil- Desire to eat small boy was never | more plainly written on the face and in the | the deer-house, came to see his proteges eat their Thanks- giving dinner. As he inspected the carnivora house he noticed that the female hyena hadn’t her cubs with her. This troubled him, for the sightof those two Diack iittle antmals with the green eyes had entertained him. He went to Keeper Maginnis, pointed to the lady hyena, held his hands a few inches apart toindicate a small thing andthen held up two fingers, which pantomime was his way of conveying the idea that he had seen the young hyenas there. Mr. Maginnis endeavored to tell him by signs thatthe mother had just eaten one other young ones and that the other had been removed lest it should meet the same At first he would not believe that it could be true that the hyena was guilty of in- fanticide, and laughed derisively. He ques- tioned again and when hereceivedthe same answer grew almost angry. Finally he hada Mr. Maginnis’s statement anda very sad expression came over his face. There was much rejoicing on Thursday in where Keeper Holmes, who has a paternal affection for the animals | under his care, gave them rich and succu- ‘ lent extra food in the form of carrots, apples, bay and bran mash. It snould be a source of pride to the citizens of New York to see the magnificent family of nylghaus which has beenraisec inthe menagerie. Thenylghau’s large, tender eyes and sleek, warm coat makes him one ofthe most attractive mem- bers of the charming antelope famlly. Not faraway three animals were enjoying a particularly fine Thanksgiving dinner. They were the two elephants and the rhi- noceros Smiles. Some hundred pounds of additional food was divided among them, Tip was not thankful, because it is not his way, but Smiles, the two horned rhinoceros, was thoroughly grateful for the attentions paid her. This remarkable animal is quite old, and earlier in the year it was thought she was dying of general debility. She then hada place in the carnivora house. The neighborhood of the cat animals must have had a very injurious effect on her health, for as soon as she was moved to the elephant house she grew well and strong, stvod firmly on her feet and increased in weight ata great rate. Her present apartment ts lofty and well ventilated. Probably she has added 250 pounds of tissue since she moved into it. This fact naturally added to her cheerfulness on Thanksgiving Day, A curious fact concerning Smiles and all of her Kindred is commrnicated by Keeper Snyder. She is unable to see the ground or anythingonit. Her eyes are placed so far back from the end of her nose and s0 high up that she ts unable tolook down. This was apparent on Thanksgiving Day when numer- ous peanuts Were throwntoher. She had to walk all over the floor and search for them with herupperlip. This, however, is long, fiexible and muscular, and admirably adapt. ed to the purpose of finding things on the ground, Smiles’ horns should also be observed par- ticularly by the visitor.

Broadway. ing Day at the menagerie that there was gen- eral rejoicing in ail the families which make itup, and that it was prolonged tilla late hour of the evening, Persons who wandered by there report that they heard sounds of revelry in the closed houses. Three young grizzly bears made their first appearance in New York on Friday. They were Imported by Col. William H. Root of Laramie, Wyo., for Starin’s menagerie at Glen Island, During a short trip from Pier 18, North River, tothe office ofthe Adams Express Co., they caught a glimpse of the city. which seemed to please them very much. They are not depressed by the fact that they have all theirtroubles before them, of which they are possibly notaware. Their coats are at present very thick and rather shabby, but well suited in other ways to the season. Col: Root, whohas figured in literature as the Duke of Council Bluffs, imparts some valuable information concerning the manner of catching the elk in his part of the coun- try. Col. Root recently brought to New York twenty of these animals. Elk are still numerous in parts of Idaho and Wyoming, but they are destined to ex- tinction in their wild state as surely as the buffalo. But fortunately there areso many in parks and menageries that they will have plenty of descendants forthe edification of future young Americans. Col, Root says it is not men of his occupation or hunters from the East and from Europe who are exter- minating the elk, but the old hunters. These men killelk forthe sake of their horns, and usually destroy aboutthirty animalsto get one good head. The elk isthe largest and finest of living members ofthe deer family. He has many and varied accomplishments and Is alto- gether acredit to this great country. For in- stance he can run faster than a thoroughbred horse and kick harder than a mule, accord- ing to Col. Root. Hehas horns which some- times weigh fifty pounds, and with which he has been known to break up a railroad car when left at liberty inside one. He can also kick with his forefeet as effectively as with his nind legs. Theelk hasa strong and na- tural aversion todogs. When he gets an op- portunity tojumpupinthe air over a dog and come down on the canine with four feet it is the last on earth of that animal. The elk is caught when young by trained dogs of mongrel breed whose teeth are broken short. The dogs overtake the elks and seize them by the earor hind leg; owing to the condition of the dogs’ teeth they do not do muchinjury. The fully grown male elk can only be caught alive in one way. That ts when the snow is heavy onthe ground and he is half starved. Ashe flounders through the snow men with snow-shoes are able to come up with him and seize him without dificulty. This is the sad fate of the proud animal that In spring-time could not be mas- tered by halfa dozen unarmed men. The elk is occasionally put in harness for advertising purposesin Western cities. He can make better time than any horse, if he wants to, itissaid. He can also go without food and water for ten hours. But there is no danger that he will supplant the noble horse for any purpose except advertising. He only goes when he feels inclined to and then often in the direction in which hetis not desired to go. There is also a liability that he will take it into his head to breakup everything else in the street. Some very recent remarks concerning the joint snake of the Southern States call forth from correspondents testimony as to its ex- traordinary powers. One reader sends a sketch of a joint snake as it appeared to him just after it had separated Itself. It should he stated, however, that only instantaneous photographs showing the snake in the act of joining itself together again will be considered worthy of repro- duction. Here is acontribution from .a citizen of Danville, Pa.: To the Editor of the Sunday Post-Dispatch: About twenty-eignt yearsago, in the State of Illi- nois, County of Knox, Mr. Amos Baker and myself were gathering hazelnuts. and gilled what I thought a milk snake, as it was spotted, and in lifting it to show its length it came apartin pieces about six incheslong. The length of the snake was about 3% feet. We took the snake home forashow, which was quite acuriosity. The pieces lived along time,. and I believe that if the head had not been killed it would have united again. It is known in lliiinois as the jointsnake. Respectfully, W. E. Drumm. Mr. Bradford P. Howell writes from As- toria: Iam not a naturalist, but take great fancy in get- ting specimens of birds’ eggs, butterflies and differ- ent kinds of insects.

The killing of big game isa form of sport reserved only fora few.

AS an instance of Mr. Ward’s method of record- ing the information he has collected, we may quote the case of the Thibetan Yak (Bos grunniens). Here the horn measurements are given for about twenty different speci- mens, and the figures vary from 8% inches in length and 19 inches from tip to tip to 22% inches and 12% inches respectively. In nearly every case the name of the owner ofthe specimen measured is given, and in many instances the owner is the person who shot the animal. The name ofthe late Sir Victor Brooke of Colevrooke is repeatedly found, and his collectionis only rivaled by that at the British Museum. For African specimens the names of Sir John Kirk and Mr. F..O. Selous constantly recur, and the names of Gen. Mathews, Mr. F.J. Jackson and the late Mr. J. 8S. Jameson are frequent; and Mr. Rowland Ward and Mr, Walter Rothschild are mentioned often as collectors, With regard to Indian and Cen- tral Asian game the names most frequently HUNTERS OF BIG GAME | met with are those of Sir Robert Harvey and Mr. H. C. V. Hunter. Col. Ralph Vivian, Mr. E. N. Buxton, and his son, Mr. Gerald Buxton, will find the results of their various shooting expeditions often given, With ree gard tosport inthe White River country of Colorado and the Yellowstone River, those who have shot the mule deer (curiacus macrotis) includea different set of names, though that of Mr. Edward Buxton again appears. Among some fine specie mens of heads and horns, now the property of the National Liberal Club, the largest measurements here ree Swayne’s Hartbeest, Thompson’s Gazelle Jackson’s Wildbeest, corded of the spring-buck (Gazella euchore) are to be found. Mr, Ward also gives con- siderable space toa new variety of gazelle shot in Somali Land by Mr. T. W. H. Clarke in 1891, and the horn measurements and weights of eleven specimens of animals be- longing to Mr. Clarke, Col. A. Paget, Lord Allsa and others are given. Mr. Rowland Ward has unquestionably pro- duced a volume that will be more than ac- ceptable in many a country house and club Ssmoking-room, Most of the measurements he records have been taken by one hand; andthey are consequently of more value than those casually contributed, Some of these measurements relate to animals that are practically new varieties, such as Clarke’s gazelle just mentioned; and these almost allcome from Southern and Eastern Africa. But the information here recorded, which we believe to be inaccessible else- where, will be most acceptable to naturalists and sportsmen alike. We have only noticed @ very few misprints in this book, such as Powercourt for Powerscourt, and it seems to us to be a very careful and convenient publi- cation. aa a DANGER I8 OVER.

A POLITICIAN WHO CAN GET ARY OF- FICE AND WANTS NONE His Desire Now Is to Amass an Enorm- ous Fortune, Then Run for President ~—His Life in College and Subsequent Oareer—Personal Traits. Bpecial Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATOR. New YorRK, Dec. 1.—At the beginning of the political struggle in Chicago William O. Whitney ior the first time in his interesting career developed into a politician of national importance. He had done other things that proved him an able man before he undertook the ightof renominating Cleveland against the wishes of the State from which he came. But it was then that all Democrats from New York to Alaska began to talk and speculate about him, When he came to Chicagoand took the best rooms at the best hotel and gathered the most able men around him, a few newspaper men who have learned to estimate the characters of men pretty well decided that he was going todo something. In the convention, when he placidly accepted and enthusiastically in- Gorsed the amended free-trade plank, which was intended to cause dissension and post- pone Cleveland’s victory, everybody who knew anything at all pointed him out as the creator, under the will of the people, of the next Chief Magistrate. Since that time Whitney has grown steadily in popular interest. His eye-giasses have be- come as well known in this country as Glad- stone’s big collarisin England. He has not only kept good Democrats together, but has filled with Cleveland enthusiasm the Demo- Crats who were least fond of Cleveland. To- day he occuples a position which is briefly set forth in the lines in big type that appear be- neath his portrait. He is an American citl- gen who can.have whatever he wants ina political way and who wants nothing. The picture which is given of Whitney fs of course mare interesting than anything that will be said about him. It isa careful copy ofthe best photograph that has ever been taken of him, a photograph taken in Wash- ington about three yearsago. Mr. Whitney is nota man who has himself photographed very often, although he might reasonably do so if he liked. He has not changed materially since this picture was taken, except for the fact that the responsibility which has rested upon him has addedafew gray bairs to bis collection. It is impossibie to say exactly, withont any Canger of mistake, how much Whitney has brother-in-law, is the finest man in the world this is no time to write Mr. Whitney’s obitpary. much of his life ahead of him for that. it is ~ - early life and his intellectual childhood in college as it foreshadows in very interesting fashion the work that was laid out for him, and it may encourge that army of young men who are apt to be cast down because they cannot keep their floses as constantly on the grind-stone as some others do. Whitney went to Yale where his son is now studying. He wasa member of the class of ’63. His most intimate friend in college was Oliver H. Paine, who has since become a colonel, and very well known, thanks to the minerai ol! which flows naturally in this blessed country. Whitney and Paine were ardent Democrats in their childish college But He istoo young and has got too’ ropriate to tell something about his | ’ | fact the oration which he had prepared he | brought with him in menuscript, against all tradition, and,after reciting a little ofit by heart he took the manuscript up and read the rest calmly and placidly. He went infor athletics milaly, In those old-fashioned days colleges were largely in- stitutions of learning. He was at Yale at about the time when George W. Smalley, now an exile, was at Yaleand when they se- lected for coxswain in the university boat- race the popular young man who weighed nearly 800 pounds, and was there- fore too fattorow. Young Whitney used to pull a boat and box. But he did not row on what they were pleased to call the university crew, When he left Yale Whitney studied at the Harvard law school with Henry F, | immock. He had been separated in the meanwhile from his particular friend, Oliver H. Paine, ing things under his control. fir. Whitney was a good lawyer, although he did not stick to the law very faithfully. His most interesting case Was the defense of the Sweetsers, who published the Round Table. The Round Tabie was @ literary weekly which attacked as immoral the author of *‘Griffith Gaunt.’’ Charles keade,wWho was the autnor, felt very badly, expressec his opinion that the critic was a prurient prude, and brought suitagainst the Round Table. It was an in- teresting lawsult. All that Reade recovered from the Sweetsers, rep- resented by Whitney, Was six cents damages, But Whitney's father, a prosper- ous and an energetic man, thought it would be better for his son to get into business schemes on his own hook than to patch up or fight out the quarrels of other business men. Whitney’s father, who died in 1878, was himself an able business man, It is trom this time, when nolimitis placed upon the brilllant predictions concerning him, has been a much stronger man than he appeared to be on the surface. He has never slopped over, aS many successful young men do, nor lost his head. It was a surprise to the public, who Knew little or nothingabout him, when he was made Secretary of the Navy by Cleveland. But it was not a surprise to the men who knew him well, It was said of him long agothat he would be ready at any minute to undertake anything that might come along. He certainly took charge of the navy on short notice and attended to his duties there thorougly. He has a remarkable facuity for not making mistakes, which is often more useful than the faculty of doing occasiomW@l remarkable things. A wreat deal of speculating will probably be done as to why it suits him to devote him- self at present to the accumulating of a great caturist will lack the courage to speak of him as the tool of the Standard Oil. It is very hard, of course, fora very rich man to creep through the needie’s eye by which men get into the White House, Possibly Mr. Whitney on mature deliberation, has decided that it would be even harder for a man with the taint of monopoly influence to perform the same feat. Atalleventsit seems quite certain, ifthe wise men who watch and predict have opin- ions of any value, that Whitney is to be enormously rich, It will be very interesting to see what he does with all his money when he gets it. Helis notthe manto settle down upon his pile of wealth like an Astor, ora Vanderbiltor ahenonan egg with the idea of simply hatching out more money for gen- erations tocome, noris hethe man to give up the pursuit of politics which has so long interested him.

It Provides Steady Work for Many in Yankton, 8. D. NEW YORKEERS FURNISH MOST OF THE GRIST FOR THE MILL. Some of Them Well Known—Out of Tem Decrees Granted at Yankton,Eight Are for New Yorkers—One Divorce Out of Two Followed by Marriage — The Judges Are Growing Severe. YANKTON, 8. D., Dec. 8.—It issaid by at¢ torneys here that were it not for the patrone age of residents of New York State, the di- vorce industry in South Dakota would not amount tomuchin the way of notoriety. A careful search through the records of the courts of three judicial districts shows that where ten decrees of divorce are granted eight are from New York State. There are in Yankton at the present time twenty-five New Yorkers, whose sole mission is to procure a divorce without notoriety. A notable instance of the dread of notoriety was that of Mrs. Ida Tyson, the wife of Rob. ert F. Tyson, and the owner of a fine house on Madison avenue. She ts also sister of Mrs, W. W. Ladd, 159 East Thirty-fourth street, and Mrs. J. OC. Watsonof Fifth avenue and Fifty-third street. Mrs. Tyson procured her decree without much opposition, as her husband wished to and did marry afew days after the decree had been granted to his wife. Within ten days Mrs. Tyson was also married to Harry Keene, a well-known New Yorker, Another case which promised a sensation for New York society was nipped in the bud by a newspaper notice. In February last **Mrs. Robert Goelet of Fifth avenue,’’ ene gaged rooms ata Sioux Falls Hotel through her attorneys. There was a general gnash- ing of teeth all along the Hne over the pub- licity given the affair, anda general denial was published lest the people of New York should suppose that the fair applicant for divorce might be the wife of the New York millionaire bearing that name. There isa Sioux Falls lawyer, however, who bewalils the loss of what promised to be the largest fee ever paid for a decree of divorce in south Dakota. This Mrs. Goelet did not go to Sioux Falls. Another case that added to the pub- licity of South Dakota divorces is that of Mrs. Cordelia Betts. Mrs. Betts came to Yankton to get a divorce from Henry F, Betts forthe purpose of marrying Charles Blish, at that time the proprietor of the Eagle House at Peekskill. When the sum- mons was served upon Bettsin New York he procured a pistol, went to Peekskill and shot Blish sothat he died ina few hours. - Betts was adjudged insane and ts now an inmateof the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum, Mrs. Betts and her family now reside on New York ave- nue, between Herkimer and Atlantic streets, Brooklyn. She is a sister of Edward and George Carman of the New York Consoll- dated Exchange. Henry C.

It is certain, however, that ifan attempt were made to give an absolutely ac- curate account of his services the danger of underestimating what he has done would be as great at least as that of overestimating his work. It is certain that every Republican Sg tas if / * IRs o* >: ‘ 1 ah? 7 Se Ved: “8 4, i » 7 . 7 . ¥ * > a + ar a >» who thought he was certain of election and who is now mourning his defeat, from Harrison and Keld to the most unimportant Congressman out West, looks upon Whitney firstofall as the man who brought about his downfall. It Is quite probable, from the poet’s point of view, that on Harrison’s heart, after his death, there will be found a faint outline of a man with eye glassesand a wrayish mustache, Every Republican feels that the real work was done by Whitney. Looking at the thing casually, it would seem as though Cleveland must certainly have been elected without the help of any man, since he could bave got aiong qulte comfortably withoutany. one of the States that he carried. It is not worth while to speculate on thator about the influence on other States which was produced by the spec- tacle of New York thoroughly in lne and absolutely enthusiastic in the Democratic cause. It is quite certain, however, whether Mr. Whitney was needed to elect Cleveland or not, that he was neeced to nominate him. Those whotolliowed the doings at Chicago know that without Whitney in the Hotel Richelieu during that important week there would probably have been no Grover Cleve- Jand inthe White House for the next four years. The Post-Disrpatcn at the time ex- plained fully the great work which Whitney was doing. Mr. Whitney does not talk very mnch about things in general, and says nothing at all about himeelf or his own plans. In writing about him it!s mecessary to content one’s self with an outline of the plans which his fellow citizens make forhim. Here are some of the things whichare said about Whitney just at present. The work whichhe has done in this cam- paign makes him the heir-apparent. He Will be the next Democratic President. He worked hard forthe party, because he thought tnat Cleveland’s election meant the of the people. He is not going to take anything from Cleveland now because what he wants he can etall by himself and nobody can give it to He is going to devote his time in the imme- diate future to making himself an enor- mously rich man. He is already worth several millions, and before long he will be worth fifty or a huna- dred millions more. He will be the first very rich man ever elected president of the United states. The only thing that may keep him from being elected President of the United States four years from now may be the great amount of money that he will have earned before n. as is a curious fact that almost everything that is said of Whitney is in his praise. Re- Dbiicans admire him and now mourn be- cause his fool-killing propensities prevented the nomination of any other Democrat than Cleveland. Ordinarily it isa bad sign whea a man is universally well spokenof. To this Whitney isan exception. He has only held one important office, the Secretaryship of the Navy, and the American peopie are indebted to him for the work which he did for them while he held that office. He began the work of regenerating the navy s0 thoroughly as to make itimpossibie for his successors todo otherwise than keep on in the lines which he bad own, pene hitney has light eyes and regular features.

Young Whitney was considered a very brilliant young man, nota very hafi(- working young man, He only took prizes in such branches as came to him natural- ly, without sittingup and worrying about them. In writing and Hag meng he excelled, and he did not care much for the dull things. He was extremely popular, and the knack of making and keeping friends, which isone of his characteristics at present when he does not need it so very much, was a natural one. He was elected class orator and delivered what is called the presentation day oration. He was a good deal of e@ class politician and went in for society doings to a considerable extent.

It has since been ascertained that there was no merit in hig case, and had it ever come before the court would certainly have been denied. Mrs. J. McKim Winton, sister of Delancey Nicoll, hada red hot contest on her hands in attempting tosecure ber divorce, and some very sensational testimony was given. She would have been beaten on the objection raised that her legal residence was the same as her husband’s, and therefore she could not bring an action in this State. An obscure section of the divorce law was discovered which provides ‘‘that in actions for divorce the presumption of law that the domicile of the husband Its the domicile of the wife, does notapply. After ge each party may have a domicile, depending for proof of actual residence, and not upon Roh tion.’’ QOthber New York cases at have recently been adjusted by the Yankton courts are: Mrs. Amy Gillig, wife of Charles A, Gillig of Gillig’s United States Exchange, London, obtained a decree, there being but slight op- position made. Mrs. Gillig is now a resident of New York. Louls Bernard, the well-known landsca painter, residing at No. 205 East Fifteen street,secured his decree without opposition, his wife having deserted him and gone to Germany.

R. Leslie thought him better than Edmund khean as Lear. Untill the death of George III. the Lord Chamberlain refused to allow ‘‘King Lear’’ to be acted. The insanity of England’s monarch was urged as an excuse. Hdmund Kean was next announced for the partat Drury Lane, but the management of Covent Garden stole a march on its rival, and on April 13, 1829, at the latter house, the tragedy was revived, with Junius Brutus Booth inthe title role. In this production Miss Sally Booth was the Cordelia. Sofearful was she that the public might think ber a relative of the tragedian that sheurged himto change his name. Macready was the Edmund, The famous curse as he delivered it was described as vociferous and absolutely distinct, In fact he reversed the usual process. Instead of starting crescendo and fading off he started diminuendo, and the curse gathered strength as it grewuntil it ended inatorrent. Kdwin Booth, who was very familiar with his father’s style, said he never dared to attempt this particular effect, Minor theaters at the time were prohibited from playing the tragedy, butatthe Coburg Theater Mr. Glossop brought out ‘‘Lear,’’ in which Booth appeared three nights A week, being the of nights of his engagement at Covent Garden, This plece was asort of moderaized version of **King Lear.’’ Edinund Kean’s first appearance in the part was madeon April 24, 1820, at Drury Lane, in Tate’s version, Of its true value there seems to bedoubt. Thecritics differed, but during the twenty-eight nights it was acted it drew crowded houses. Of his Own work Kean Was notaltogether satisfied. Hazlitt, who had been enthusiastic Over his earlier impersonations, was by nomeans unqualified inhis approval. The gigantic sorrows of Lear, he thought, eluded Kean’s grasp and baffied his attempts at comprehension, The curse, he declared, was ranted and made from beginning to end an explosion of ungovernable physical rage Without solemnity or elevation. In the mad scenes he found him curious and quaint rather than impressive or naturdl,a fact that he attributed to Kean’s desire to play them &s no other actor had ever done. For the Speech ending, ‘‘I think this lady to le my child Cordelia,’’ he had only words of the highest praise. ‘‘As he uttered these words,’’ says Hazlitt, ‘‘Mr. Kean staggered faintly into Cordelia’s arms, and bis sobs of tenderness and his ecstacy of joy commingled drew streaming tears from the brightest eyes.’’ Macready thought Kean’s Lear was weak in comparison with his triumphant success ita other characters. Genest, on the Other hand, thought his personal appearance was better than Kemble’s or Young’s, and his manner more Natural, The mad scenes he thought were copled after Murphy’s account of how Garrick played them. Dr. Doran praised it for its Originality, both In conception and execullon, and the critic in Blackwood’s Maya- sine SUMmed itupas the most genuine of all his performances of Shakspeare. In 1828 the Hith act, as Shakspeare wrote it, was re- stored by Kean tothe stage, but Tate still held his Owain the other four acts.

He early Came to this country and almost his entire professional career occurred here. Cooper numbered Lear among his im- personations, but it was by no means played asoften as many of his other roles. The New York Mirror of Feb, 14, 1924, contains the following notice of his acting in the part: *‘We feela delicacy after What we have saidinfavorofMr. Cooper’s acting in now condemning it. But we are bound to speak candidly on the subject and declare that wedid not believe in Cooper’s power to personify Lear so unsuccessfully. This gentieman’s talents ate certainly of a high order, but must be confined to such charac- ters as Brutus, Damon, Virginius, etc. Lear does not suit him; it seems to be oat of his Cooper may have failed as Lear, but to limit him to the parts above enumerated is rather severe when John Howard Payne thought his Hamlet more scholarly than Kemble’s and more natural than Edmund Kean’s, Edwin Forrest was 19 years oid when he first plaved Lear. The occasion was his benefit at New Orleans in 1824. The attempt was considered praiseworthy, but he de- termined to make it his great character. Of John Me Culloug King Lear. allhis Shakspearean rofés he probably real- ized the spirit and poetry ofthis part better than any other, and when he acted it for the first time in London at Drury Lane in 1836 unqualified praise was awarded tohim. In America it became one of his most popular characters, and as he grew older the performance gained in sim- plicity, grandeur and power, The curse was considered one ofthe most tremendous pieces of declamation ever heard on the Stage. Hislast appearance inthe part was 1872. On Dec. 12 of the same year he died, tefee- ence to his acting of Lear would be incom- plete without the story told by. his friend, J. B. McCullagh of the Globe- Democrat. It wasin St. Louls when that gentleman fre- marked to him: ‘‘Mr. Forrest, Inever in iy life saw you play Lear so well as you did to- night.’’ Rising from his chair to his full you mean, sir? I donot play! I play Hamlet, Richard, Shylock, Virginius, if you please, but, by God, sir, Iam Lear!’’ Charlies Mayne Young wasthe next trage- dian to wear Lear’sroyal robe. He first es- sayed the character in 1829 at Drury Lane. He belonged to the school of Kemble, and if not so grandilogquent as JobniPhilip, was more natural. He was evidently a cold, in- tellectual actor, without fire, passion or ten- derness. The impression he made as Lear was not lasting. Willlam Charles Macready, than whom there wat no more conscientious artist, was the first actor to restore in almost its entire completeness the Lear of Shakspeareto the stage. He, too, had his doubts about the wisdom of Keeping the Fool, but he finally decided to risk his restoration. Macready’s first appearance as Lear, however,was made in the Tate arrangement at Swansea in 1833, Of his performance he writes in his diary: **How? Certainly not so wellas I rehearsed it; crude, fictitious voice—in short, a failure!’’ It was not untilhe assumed the manage- ment of Covent Garden that he acted the partin London. On Jan. 25, 1838, it was pro- duced with unprecedented scenic. effect. Clarkson Stanfield painted for it some very beautiful scener>, and probably for the first time due attention was paldthe archzxo- logical fitness ofthe setting. Priscilla Hor.- ton acted the Fool and the tragedy was played ten times during theyear. Macready was not satisfied with his own work, but the general opinion was that it was a truly noble Shakespearean embodiment. Lord Lytton spoke of his Titanic grandeur in the part,and Westland Marston, in his book, ‘‘Our Recent Actors,’’ devotes considerable space to his rendering of the injured King. He considered it Macready’s finest achievement in Shak- spearean tragedy, Writing of it he says: ‘‘It may be sald, in brief, that as the boundless arrogance of Lear was the sin by which he fell, soa revelationto the old man’s heart— even through his disordered wits—of the common ties of our humanity was with Ma. cready the great lesson of the play. In the storm scene, where Lear’s mad- ness is yet incipient, and in the still more terrible disclosure of the fourth act. Macready was on ground (that of psychology) where, if we except a few inspired charac- ters of Edmund Kean, he seemed unapproach- able. When complete aberration set in the Signs of it were astogishingly true and vari- ous. His gradual recognition of Cordelia as the mists of delusion Hited and dissolved was a worthy climax tosucha performance. George Henry Lewes testifies to his great powers as tragedian in ‘‘On Actors and the Art of Acting.’’ ‘‘Macready,’’ he says, **‘wag very frequently called a mere melo- dramatic actor. In any sense which I can aMx to this word, itis absurd. He was by nature unsuited to some great tragic parts, George Edgar as King Lear. but by his intelligence he whs fitted to con- ceive and by his organization fitted to ex- press Characters and was not, like a melo- dramatic actor, Iimited to situations, Surely King Lear, King John, Richard I1., Cassius and Iago were tragic parts! In them he was great.’’ Another great actor whose devotion to high art deserved even better recognition than it received, Samuel Phelps was the next to play ‘‘Lear.’’ At Sadiler’s Wells on Noy, 5, 1845, the trageay was acted entirely accord- ing to Shakspeare’s text. It was staged sim- ply bat with true artistic effect, and as the, Atheneum expressei it, had all the air and severity of a ciassical drama. In majesty and dignity he seems to have been some- what lacking. His curse, too, Was said to have been too tame, but In pathos of the character he was deciared to have shown ? ¥.§ -* " er ae m Di ose ede bee “ee = « Ss ef a A e* oe ‘its famous revivui at the Princess I Sp a en Oe Ee ea nee oe RR eS ee oe ES - Fe a Prag , ET “ ates oN : : land Marston’s opinion of his work. Until Irving’s production of **King Lear’, the tragedy never had such an elaborate set- velt on eater on April 17, 1858. The Anglo-Saxon era of the eighth century was selected forthe regula- tion of the scenery and dresses as affording & date sufficiently remote, while it was at the same time associated with British soil. Pic- torlally the production was a great success, afidinthe title rolehe gained general com- mendation. Oneof his biographers re a it as equal to his Hamlet or his Louis XI. Of foreign players who have acted the part four are alive to-day, Salvini, Rossi, Possart and Osmand Tearle. Rossi played it in Lon- don, where it was regarded as one of his most admired impersonations. Salvini’s Lear is known to New York theatergoers. It by no means equais either his Othellocr Conrad, and despite the wonderful ability of this truly great actor, the effort was disappointing. Possart,the great German actor, has achieved a notable success in the role, Osmond Tearle, remembered for his good work as leading man at Wallack’s, is now an established star in the English provinces. Lear isin his list of characters, but of its value reports have not yet reached this side of the water. Lawrence Barrett, always an intelligent and painstaking artist, first acted Lear in New York at Booth’s Theater, on Monday, Dec. 4, 1876. The tragedy was staged with admirable care, and Mr. Barrett had the able ting as that which Charies Kean support of the late E. L. Davenport as Edgar, The WORLD at thetime of this performance said: ‘‘With the fresh memory of Forrest’s terrible declamation as he pronounced the curse on Goneril, when we say that Mr. Bar-+ rett did not fall beneath the dignity of the scene, and portrayed with both accuracy and beauty the sense of Shakspeare’s crea- tion, we pay him acompliment to which no living actor we know of is entitled. Weex- expected a treat—a graceful, intelligent and scholarly performance, but we were both surprised and pleased at the strong grasp he took of the character, and the power of voice and general manner in which he im- pressed his idealon his audience. Dramatic art has found a new feature and a novel zest, and when custom has smoothed his present representation it!s likely to be greatly strong=- erin parts which now seem harsh and ab- rupt. Itisa marked merit that the-virtues of the representation are distinctively and absolutely Mr. Barrett’s own.’’ The produc- tion, however, did not have a lengthy run and the tragedy never found a permanent place in Mr. Barrett’s repertory. John McCullough was another American tragedian to essay Lear. His style and methods were founded upon those of Forrest, and it was notuntil later in life, when his Shakspearean parts became softened and mellowed by time, that he became recognized asa first-class exponent of the creations of Shakspeare. His Lear particularly gained in beauty and strength as he progressed, and a personal fondness for the character showed itself inthe loving care which he devoted to his rendering ofthe poor old monarch. It was a performance replete with pathetic feeling and dramatic strength. George Edgar, when a manager of the Broadway Theater, now Daly’s, appeared in a production of ‘‘King Lear’’ that secured hearty praise from the critics. It showed careful study anda profound knowledge of the character. Of modern actors in the part probably Edwin Booth more nearly realizes the poet’s creation than any other. In America, in Ene gland at the Princess Theater, London, in i8si, and during his tour in Germany, his impersonation has been unl- versally praised. Dulton Cook de- scribed is as remarkable for its elab- oration, refinement and sublety and for its force, passion and tenderfiess. The Ger- mans particularly admired it, and at home its appreciation has been attested Dy the large audiences the announcement of itg presentation has always called forth, Mr, Booth is so remarkably great in so many parts that it would be hard to arrange them inthe order of their artistic value. Of his Lear, however, it may be said that it occu. pies a place high up in the list. Several ofthe pictures reproduced in this article are from the collection of Mr. Evert Jansen Wendell.

NEW YorK, Dec. 1.—‘*Vocal teathers and impresarios may say What they .like about young singers starting out with grand operas in their throats, butI Knowa better plan,’’ said Jessie Bartlett Davis the other day as she engulfed large quantities of Imperial Hotel coffee and rolis, ‘It’s tle song system. If I ran a conser- vatory I would tell the pupils who had ability and were anxious to begin a public career to get one song—never mind what— ballad, hymn, serenade, ditty, caro:, cradle or topicalsong, and work at it until they could make of itall that the composer and author intended. ‘*Take the girl, for instance, who wants a position inachurch,choilr.

A Oriticieam cf “I Rantgau’’ After Its First Performance in London. LONDON, Dec. 8.—Every civilized commu. nity is talking of Mascagni’s new opera, ‘‘I Rantzau,’’ performed for the first time at Milan last week. Everybody is equally warn. ing the young composer not to allow his head to be turned by too much success —at least everybody who writes for the public press is doing so. Personaily Mas- cagni’s first habit of mind is that ofa good fellow. He is exceedingly com- panionable, fond of the good things of life and fona of being with bright people. At his home in Livorne he leads a quiet life, wears ared fiannel suit, or rather scarlet, and potters aboutina simple way, maxing muchof his wife and littie girl baby of 3. In Florence, however, ever since the per* formance he has been the center of an inter- esting group at that curious cafe known as Cornelio’s. Itis the rey pte restaurant in the town and here he holds court, surrounded by musicians, artists, actors, Bohemians and aristocratic patrons of the arts. His other new opera, which was to have been called ‘‘Radcliff,’’ but will be celled **Vestitia,’’ isalready in the hands of the blisher. It is new only in the sense of not ving been heard, for but has not yet seen the light. | gesresae> has ap altogether new one in hand called ‘‘Nerone,’’ of which great things are expected. The performance itself was, as re already kuows, a eat success. It was marked by i singing, all the parts save one, or possibly two, being taken by hew people, but it was saved by the great- ness of the music and the ability of the con- ductor. The London Times, in a carefully studied criticism of thenew opera, has this to say of the music: Of the music itself it is less ‘easy to speak in detail, since the score is not yet accessible, and in its absence the most that can be done is to describe its general effect. A story like this of ‘‘I Rantzau’’ is not Mas. cagni’saffairatall. It is with difficulty that he reduces to the proper level of quietness his turbulent genius, and the obvious joy with which he seizes any opportunity of writing music of the most theatrical sort is sufficient evidence of the artistic unfitness of his subject. The true eae of his genuis is no longer. in doubt —If, indeed, there were ever any who doubted that he is a composer for the theater alone. Nothing in the realm of pure music need ever be expected from him. His busi- ness, his delight, is to discern everywhere the possibility of making a dramatic effect. Of his power to dothisthere has never been question, and if ‘‘I Rantzau’’ must be held to rank below ‘‘Cavalleria’’ inthe sum total of its achievements, itis not because Mascagni has treated the one less brilliantly than the other, but because he is here wasting his strength on an om ges ay’ subject. Will not Mascagni break from the fetters in which he hus allowed himself to be bound? The chief significance of this music lies, to our thinking, in the proof it affords that Mascagni has at last developed a style. He started his career with a dangerous aptitude for assimilating the ideas, and the methods of uttering them, of his predecessors. In ‘*I Rantzau’’ thereis little that is derivative. Here and there isa mere touch of, for in- stance, Berlioz and Gounod; the influence of the first being discernible in the theme which illustrates the family feud; that of the second in some of the love music, andinthe charm- ing ballad, **Cera un Volta un Re,’’ with which Luisa opens the second act. But these matters are scarcely worth mentioning; the real point of interest isthat Mascagni is bringing to perfection an entirely personal mode of artistic expression. His use of representa- tive themes is noticeably discreet, and it Is certainly pleasant to finda young composer who makes no foolish attempt to handle the great weapons of the Wagnerian armory. For the rest, itishardtoname more than one essential quality of greatness that is not represented in this score. Dignity is to seek in most of Mascagni’s work, but melody, beauty, power, breadth are all here. — — LONDON’S STAGE. Past Week’s Theatrical Doings. LONDON, Dec. 8.—The improved weather has brought a gleam of prosperity to the theaters. All the leading houses are doinga capital business and the managers are corre- spondingly happy. ‘‘In Town’’ at the Prince of Wales Theater and ‘‘Ma Mie Rosette’’ at the Globe are the most notable successes. As was expected, ‘‘The Old Lady’’ will be withdrawn from the Criterion Theater to- night, but it would be hard to explain the withdrawal from the boards of the Comedy Theater of ‘‘The Arabian Nights,’’ an amus- ing work, which will to-night make way for ‘*To-day,’’ anew comedy by Charles Brook- field. The play is founded on Victorien Sar- dou’s ‘*Divorcons.’’ Atthe Shaftesbury Theater ‘*Cigarette,’’ which has had a run of over one hundred performances, is about to be replaced witha new comic operaentitied ‘*Peg,’’ composed by Edward Jakabowski. The libretto is by Mr. H, Monkhouse, the well-known actor. Unusual interest is taken in Mr, Carton’s ‘*Liberty Hall’’ at the St. James Theater. Miss Terry’s daughter, Ailsa Craig, will be in the cast. The gastric fever with which Mr. Fred Leslie was suffering in theearly part of the week has developed into typhoid fever. A novelty at the Tivoli Music Hallisthe new dance of Marie Leyton, which can only be described asa kindof serpentine dance, with a startling effect produced by the burst- ing intoa blaze of many colored electric lights, which shinethrough the blue !gauze covering the breast, arms and legsof the dancer. The dance has proved a great at- traction to ‘‘masherdom,’’ and the place is filled nightly with fin de siecle youths. The Paderewski fever is raging here as madly asever. Every seat has been sold for the recitation which the great pianist will give on Tuesday next. Paderewski will go to Paris a week from Sunday for the purpose of consulting his physician before he starts for America. The Queen was so pleased with Mlle. Zelle de Luzzan’s playing and singing in the recent performance of ‘‘La Fille du Regiment’’ at Balmoral that she expresseda strong desire to hear heragainin her best role, that of Carmen. The Car] Rosacompany are, how- ever, still touring Scotland and difficulties were raised in regard to the long journey to Windsor. ‘Thereupon the Queen’s command was transferred to Sir Augustus Harris, who immediately visited Windsor and had an audience with the Queen, who approved of the cast submitted by him. The Water- loo Chamber at the Windsor: Castle which will accommodate 200 guests and which has before been used fora similar purpose, was converted intoatheatre for the uccasion. The stage being too small to accommodate the scenery from Covent Garden Theatre, Sir Augustus had scenery especially painted forthe performance, The regular Covent Garden orchestra and chorus wentto Windsor on a special train. Sig. Bevignani was the conductor. With the exception of Sig. Cremonini, who for the first time in England assumed the roleof Don Jose, all the leading parts were in the hands of familiar exponents. The cast was as fol- lows: Carmen, Mile. de Luzzan; Michaela, Miss Esther Palliser; Frasquita, Miss Agnes Jansen; Escamillo, M. du Friche; Decario, Sig. Caracciolo; Remendado, Sig. Rinaldini; torales, Sig.Corsi; Zuniga, Sig. De Vaschetti; Don Jose, Sig. Cremonini; premier danseuse, Mile. Bigantl. Sir Augustus will repeat the opera in Lon- don on Monday. Active preparations are be- ing made for Christmas novelties. ‘*The Prodigal Daughter,’’? which has been so successful that sir Augustus Harris has arranged to present itin almostevery Euro- pean capital, will be transferred to the Co- vent Garden Theater on the 12th inst. to make room forthe pantomine at Drury Lane, This transfer will secure the double object of insuring a large house for ‘‘The Prodigal Daughter,’’ and keeping any competitive pantomine away from Covent Garden. The latter theater will alsobe utilized for morn- ing performances of ‘‘lvanhoe,’’ the ‘‘Ba- zoche,’’ and other light operas, and when occasion requires for Sir Augustus’ fancy dress balls. A regular army of workmen will be re- quired to make in a few hours the necessar preparations to convert the house intoa bail room, The pantomime will be arranged from three nursery rhymes—‘‘Bo-Peep,’’ ‘‘Little Red Ridinghood’’ and ‘‘Hop-o’-my-Thumb.’’ Harry Nichols has so far recovered from his long attack of typhoid fever that he will be able to take his usual place, if not on boxing night, atany rate Defore the end of the sea- son. The box office has been open six weeks and every seat for the opening night was long ago disposed of. Seats in the grand circle, which usually sell for 7s, already com. mand a premium of Ils at the libraries, while the price of stalls has doubled. Sir Augustus Harris’ chief rival in panto- mime will be Oscar Barrett at the new Olym- pic, who will present ‘*‘Dick Whittington,’’ with all the glories of a revived harle- guinade. Miss Edith Bruce will play Dick, Mme. Kittie Lanner is arranging the ballets, and Tom Lovell will be the clown. The play withthe pecullar title of ‘‘Unele Mike,’’ which Mr. Edward Terry produces next week at Terry’s Theater, turns out to have been written by Miss Florence Warden whose novel, *‘The House on the Marsh,’* has found so many readers. The cast will in- clude besides Mr. Terry, Messrs. H. V. Es- mond, Fred Thorn, T. W.

A French play called *‘Champignol Malgre Lui,’’ that had a run at the Nouveaute Theater, Paris, was secured recently for this country by T. Henry French. Mr, French has just sold the American rights tothe play to Charles Frohman. The duration of Mascagni’s new opera ‘‘l Rantzau’’ is scarcely two hours. The first and second acts are thirty minutes each, the third act consumes thirty-five minutes, while the fourth and last act takes but twenty -two minutes. Lew Rosen says that the only thing that he can see in Mrs. Bernard-Beere’s production of **Ae In a Looking Glass’’ at the Manhattan Thester that resembles in any way Sarah Bernharat’s production Is the fact that there are walts between the acts. **The Actors’ Holiday,’’ anew farce-com- edy by a weil-known Cincinnati dramatic critic, is being booked by W.

Mr. Irving, while rehearsing Lear, made him about 60 years old. Just before the first public performance he changed his mind and made up as a tottering senile of 80 years, with mouthing feeble utterance. He has now reverted to his first conception of the part. The Paul Kauvar company had a narrow escape by their sleeper overturning while nearing Houston.

The revival of the epilogue by Stuart Rop. son in his production of ‘‘she stoops to Con. uer,’’ has brought to light some interestin ctsin its history. The projogue and ep}. logue were the inventions of Thespis, the father of Greek tragedy, about six centuries ved through al) introduced in. ee as areciter of these opening and closing speeches. Itis thought thatthe epllogue to **She Stoops to Conquer’’ has not been spoken fromthe stage sincethe dateof the comedy’s original production at Convent Garden Theater, London, 1773, until Mr, Rob- s0n’s revival of it. Alamp inthe ticket office of robinson’s Opera-house, Cincinnati, was overturned the other night and set fire to a pileof litho- graphs. The blaze was quickly extinguished, but somebody raiseda cry of filreand about three hundred persons in the galleries made arush to escape. Two colored men were hurt, though not fatally, intherush. The audience in the other parts of the house was kept gqguiet and the performance was con- tinued. T. W. Keene was visiting a friend in Bos- ton not long ago, and another man, who knew the actor’s friend, but over whose head about eighty years had passed, was in- troduced. ‘‘Keene,’’ saidhe, ‘‘Why I saw you act fifty years ago in London.’’ He made this speech before Keene had turned around to acknowledge the introduction. Instead of the aged man he expected to see, he beheld a handsome, stalwart person, in the prime of MHife. **I—~meant—KEAN,’’—he sald, **K-E-A-N,’’ but when he witnessed the act- ing of the younger man, he declared that there was only one Keene, and his name wasn’t K-E-A-N, Henry E.

The second act shows a stage door and happenings thereabout;the rearof a New York apart- ment house, disclosing the back windows of four stories and the actions of the occupants, in which the shadowgraph will effectively figure;a gallery of statuary, a hotel cor- ridor, and the recent Actors’ Fund Fair. Dixey will incidentally personate a book agent,a tailor-made girl, a hotel clerk and others, giving in all twenty different charac- terizations, At the Temple Theater in Alton, IIll., Jane Coombs was on the stage as Lady Dedlock in one of the most exciting scenes of ‘‘Bleak House’’ when the company and a majority of the audience were startled by the screams of anumber of women inthe front row ofthe dress circle, The screamers rose and climbed upon their seats, andthe house was at once inanuproar. All kinds of catastrophes flit- ted before the eyes of the crowd as they be- gantorushfor the exits, but the managers and ushérs who had hastened to the scene of ° the original excitement found that the women had been frightened by a mouse, and quiet was soon restored, When Mr. Stuart Robson first produced ‘Our Bachelors’’ this season, it happened that the actor who took the opposite part to Mr. Robson was taken sick and a substitute assumed his place. In the fistic encounter at the end of the third act of the play, this sub- stitute gave Mr. Robson what the comedian thought was too severe a punch and he gave it back with interest. his, the substitute also repaid, and before the audience could realize what was happening, the scene had turned to a genuine puglilistic exhibition. Mr. Robson got the best of it, however, and gave his adversary a blow that sent him to the extreme end ofthe footlights. The cur- tain at that moment descended and the sub- stitute was forced to bow his way back: be- hind the scenes amid roars of applause from the delighted audience. Jerome K. Jerome’s and Eden Phillpott’s domestic drama, ‘‘The Councilor’s Wife,’’ which was originally produced in Chicago, has been presented a week in Philadelphia and also ata special matinee in New York. The construction of this play so completely Geparts from the beaten track of dramatic construction and bréaks away so thoroughly from the traditionary drama that there was a great deal of question astoits success, While the story of the piece was a most con- ventional one, its treatment was distinctly original. It appears to have been very well received in Philadelphia and to have achieved a distinct success in New York. Whether it will endure a permanent success or not is still worrying Charies Frohman, It isa ques- tion whether the public isripe for such a radical departure in the dramatic treatment of a play. There appearsto be no question as to the substantial success of Bronson Howard’s new lay of American life, *‘Aristocracy,’’ which snow running at Palmer’s Theater in New York. No new drama presented in this coun- try in years has received such attention from cultured dramatic commentators generally. It is said that in ‘‘Aristocracy’’ Mr. Howard had what few authors enjoy, the privilege of selecting the piayers for the different charac- ters in his play. With the cast including Wilton Lackaye, Frederick Bond, William Favorsham, Paul Arthur, 8. Miller Kent, W. H. Thompson, Viola Allen, Helen Tracy and Blanche Walsh it is notto be wondered that the acting in ‘‘ Aristocracy’’ has excited gen- eralcomment. It is expected that the new play will run in New York up to warm weather, A Bone for Her to Pick.

Judge Woerner Says the Humane Society Child Law Is a High-Handed Measure. Considerable discussion has been indulged in in legal circles recently, regarding the law under which the Humane Society takes charge of children who are ill-treated by their parents or guardians. The law was in- augurated in 1889, and the first case tried under it in St. Louis was about two months ago, when a 7-year-old boy was found in the possession of a woman who lived on the river bank in South St. Louls, and she was treating him, as the evidence showed, very cruelly. She was not the child’s moth- er, but she said that he had been left in her charge by his father. The Humane Society the child and an order was made making the society the boy’s guardian. - The peculiar feature of the law, which was brought out tn the case, !s that it gives tothe Humane Society orany other similar body, the power totake the child of any citizen from its parents or legal guardians, and keep it for thirty days before the parents or guard- fans can obtain a hearing or be allowed to offer evidence to show that the charges of the society are not true. ‘*'The law is entitled ‘*An act to provide for the protection of abandoned, ill-treated and friendless children,’’ and contains several sections, the first reading: Any society incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri in accordance with the provisions of chap. 21. art. of the Revised Statutes of 1879, having for its object, or one of its objects, the care or protection of aban- doned, ill-treated and friendless children, may act as guardians of the persons of anychildren, when appointed according to the provisions of this act. The intervening sections between this and Sec. 6 provide for the modeof procedure, powers ofthe society asa guardian, etc, Sec. 6 is the section which gives to the society the power which if improperly ap- plied, may work a hardship on innocent parents or guardians, It is as follows: Sec. 6. Any such society may make a statement to the Probate Court of any county or city, or to the Judge thereof in vacation, which statement shall be verified by eath of some competent person, that there isachild within the jurisdiction of the court euffering from neglect or ill-treatment. I the court or judge shall be satisfied upon the statements presented or affidavits filed therewith, that the child is suffering from neg- lect or ill treatinent, the court or judge mf in its discretion, by writ in proper form, direct the sheriff of the county or city to take the child and deliver it into the custody of the society, andit shall be the duty of such sheriff to obey such writ.

When the application was made to me in the Case which came up before me, Il was not famillar with this law and said: ‘You cannot get any such order without giving notice tothe other side.’ When I looked up the law, however, I saw that I had to either declare it unconstitu- tional, or obey it. ‘*The persons who had the law passed were actuated by the highest motives, probably rompted by some case of extreme suffer- ng which they had witnessed. They failed, however, to perceive that the remedy was ikely to work greater hardships than the 7) tobe accomplished would amountto. It is not tobe supposed that anyone will make a child suffer for the sake of seeing it suffer. I have seen a case of a father, who having had every human feel- ing crushed out of his heart by indulgence in drink, make his child go out and beg and would beat it when it failed to bring in the money with which he could procure drink. But such cases are not to be expected, and are the exception and not the rule. Some people when they see such a case immediately Jump at the conclusion that leg- islative powers must be resorted to to remedy the evil. it is just MKke a person suffering with a corn, who mast have the corn re- moved no matter what injury isdone by the operation.’’ How Nice It Would Be.

They must FAIRY TALE sHOWING| THE END OF AVARICE. » Once upon a time there were two very rich brothers; their house was not thatched @s those Of the other villagers, but covered with slate, and it had a chimney built of In a big copper kettle that hung above the fire on af iron chain the supper was cooking; the bacon was simmpringin the saucepan dangling from the tripod; and on the table lay the sweet-cake of Turkish wheat flour, which had just been taken out of the glowing ashes. Near the cake stood a pumpkin- bottle filled with brandy. A jug of clear water Completed the dainty meal. The brothers, who were known to be very avaricious, sat’ merrily down at the table, took their wooden spoons, and began to eat. Presently there was a gentle knock; the door opened a very. little way, and an oid, old man Was seen to stand outside. He extended one ‘thin hand towards them, and said, ia alow voice, **Give mea Httle of your abundance; God will bless you for it.’’ “*Bother your blessing! Had you beén tn- dustrious and careful, as we are, while you were young, you would pot now be obliged to ea An, They Shook Their Fists at Him. go a-begging. Be off with you immediately, or — ’’ and they shook their fists at him. The old man lowly bent his head and van- ished as nolselessly as he had come. The two brothers had hardly recommenced their meal when the door opened again, and there stood a young fellow outside, shivering with cold. He asked them whether he might sit near their fire for a little while; God would bless them if they would let him. **Bother your, blessing,’’ they both shouted; **you are bent on thieving. Be off with you immediately, or ——’’ The poor fellow went away as noiselessly as he had come. Grumbling and growling, the brothers sat down again to finish their supper. When they had justrisen from thetable and were wiping thelr mouths with their hands, the aoor opened once more and at it stood a poor old man, who asked them for a drink of water. ‘‘God will bless you for it,’’ he said. **Bother your biessing,’’ they roared; and one of them took the jug from the table and poured the rest of the water at the poor man’s feet. And while they were still shout- ing at him, ‘*‘Getyou away!’’ he vanished withouta sound. Butonthe spot where the avaricious man had poured out the watera little blue fame crept along the ground, and from it rose a delicate perfume as of incense. The hard-hearted men stamped on the flame and went to bed, still grumbling and swear- ing. All at once they heard a curious notse in the chimney, where their bacon was hanging to besmoked. it was just midnight, and the It Crept Through the Keyhole. Cocks were beginning tocrow. They rushed into the kitchen and saw, to their greatest terror, thatalarge black tom-cat was just jumping out of the chimney, dragging a big piece of bacon after him. ‘‘Wait, thou car- rion, we will teach thee thy trade!’’ Next day they put an iron trap just beneath the bacon,and lay down to sleep in the kitchen. Whenthe cock began to crow at midnight, they were aroused by the growling and spitting of the biack tom-cat, which looked at them from the chimney with giar- ing eyes that were as large as carriage-wheels. It lashed its sides with its long fiery tail so that the sparks flew about. The brothers covered their eyes with their hands, for the shock quite paralyzed them. Next day they plugged up the chimney, closed the doors and windows, put bars be- fore them, and sat down in the kitchen. They were not going to ile down to sleep. Bnt no sooner had the cock crowed at midnight, when they heard the furious creature out- side. It crept through the keyhole, grew larger and larger, and its enormous eyes glowed like burning coals. Then the brothers got very angry. Each of them took a cudgel, which they had prepared beforehand, and let it fall upon the tom-cat. But the cat fshrunk together more and more, till it escaped through the keyhole like a flash of lightning. The brothers ran ‘There was a Man Who Was Chained to a Tree Stump. out into the pitch-black night after the tom- cat; furtherand further they went, till they came tothe great black pond at which the Gog of the nether world keeps watch. ‘*J say, you people, whereare you going?’’ he Calied out. ‘*Once you get below you can- not come back.’’ ‘That does not matter, but we must have our bacon back.

The brothers asked him what he had done to de- serve such punishment. ‘‘I was avaricious while I was in the world,’’ he moaned. ‘‘I have never given a piece of bread toa hungry creature; and now I have to suffer hunger till the day of resurrection.’’ The brothers got quite frightened, and ran further and further away till they came toa little silvery forest stream, by the side of which a man was chained to a tremendous stone. The unhappy wretch vainly stretched out his hand; he could not reach the water. ‘*What have you done that you must suffer thus?’’ the brothers asked him. ‘*In the other world I have never given a ‘drink of water to a famishing fellow creature,’’ he groaned. Then they ranon in wild haste till, stiff with cold and guite exhausted by hunger and thirst, they came toa burning hayrick, near which a man lay chained toa biock of ice, dead. The house with the slate-covered roof that had belonged to the avaricious brothers was occupied Dy a strange man, who never let a beggar go from his door withouta gift. No one knew whence the man came, and, if he has not died meanwhile, he is still living BILLY. Written for the SUNDAY PoOsT-DISPATOR. **Billy! Billy !’’ called Minnie. **Well,’’ said Billy, jamping up on the lounge where Minnie lay, tryingto take her afternoon nap. **What!’’ said Minnie, sharply. **Well, said Billy again, sitting down and beginning to hum a tune. Xow, this was most extraordinary, because he had been Minnie’s friend and playmate for along time, she had never been able to understand his speech before. ‘*‘Do you understand me at last?’’ said Billy. **Ves.*’ ‘*High time, too,’’ continued Bill crossly. **I’ve always spoken piainly enough, but you would not understand. Why do you stare at melikethat? Isthere anything strange in my appearance?’’ There certainly was something very strange in hisappearance. One of his ears was fas- tened to his chin, the otherto his forehead, and his mouth was nowhere visible. ‘Dear me, Billy,’’ said Minnie, ‘‘you’re allmixedup. Where’s your mouth?’’ **Around here,’’ answered Billy, turning his mouth where one ofhisears ought to be. ‘*You see, I’m a victim of misplaced confil— features, I mean.’’ **How did it happen’’’ asked Minnie in great distress. The little girl was very fond of Billy and proud of his looks, which seomed now to be gone forever. ‘*‘Itall comes of my Dbeinga poet,’’ said Billy dotefully. ‘‘Did you know lama poet, Minnie?’’ ‘*No,’” said Minnie. ‘*‘I am, though,’’ continued Billy, ‘‘and Widow Yelloweye, who lives next door, was my critic. She has three children—bad, greedy pussies, too, but I have written most beautiful poems about them just to please her. Last week I nearly cracked my brain writing one about Blackie, her oldest girl, which she declared was so fine that she wept while readingit. I was so pleased that I com posed a lovely song on the spotand spent ten hours that night practicing it preparatory to giving hera serenade. Would you like to hear the song? ‘*Very much,’’ said Minnie. Billy cleared his throatand began: **A pussy~-cat sat in a little boat, Bigh low, soft wind; A little boat, lightly, gently afloat, Sigh iow, soft wind, Afioat on a shining river, And there, as he sat, he sang & song, Sigh low, soft wind; A song to his loye, as he floated along, Sigh low. soft wind, Along on the shining river, And he floated and sang till he nodded away, Sigh low, soft wind; But pe tide brought him back at the dawn of the day, ~ low, soft wind, At dawn on the shining shore. **How beautifull’’ exclaimed Minnie, ‘‘Did she like it?’’ Billy’s brow grew Dlacker than it was natu- rally. “When I went around last night to sing it to her,’’ he said, ‘‘Il peered through the kitchen window to make sure she was there to hear it. Whoshould be snugly seated be- side her but Lord Grimalkin Spottyback! I drew close tothe window and listened. Oan you guess what I heard? There sat Mme. Yelloweye reading aloud my latest poem, entitied ‘An Ode to a Bee in a Bonnet,’ de- ginning: The bee, the bée, the busy bee It gives me very great joy to see, As he flite about from ijea to lea With a buzz and a hum like a wee base drum. He flits about from flower to flower, And never seems to waste an hour, Nor even a mninnte, unless a shower Causes his seeking a leafy bower To shelter his Sunday hat. **There are forty-six verses of that poem each more beautiful than the last. and there sat Lord Spottyback with such a smirk on his face and those three kittens actually laugh- ing at my soul-stirring addition to literature. It was toomuch! Idashed my paw through the pane and summoned my lord to instant mor combat.’’ **Oh dear,’’ said Minnie, moved to tears b the tragedy in Billy’s tones. ‘ 2 ‘‘Ihad my Lord Spottyback pretty well downed and was just planting my foot on his breast and shouting victory when out tumbled Mrs. Yelloweve and her three daugh- ters, Miss Blackie, Miss Cotton and Miss Wig- gie Ear, and attacked me onallsides. Do you wonder that my features are disar- ranged?’’ Minnie sprang forward to clasp him tn her arms and tell him how sorry she was, when Lord Spottyback passed the window, picking his way daintily along the straight and nar- row fence-top. With a terrible cry Billy Jumped from her side and disappeared through the open window in pursuit of his enemy. **Whatisit, “ur, have the cats awakened you?’’ askod mamma, ‘‘Billy has been are away beside you for a long time.

A Frenchman Instructs American House- wives How to Boil Beef in a Hundred Ways — Character Building and Hy- giene— Holiday Gift Books. Richard Harding Davis’ last book,’’ ‘‘The West From a Car Window,”’’ is one of the best things this clever young man has done. The book is merely a series of impressions of typ!- cal frontier scenes described from the stand- point of an observant Eastern man, but the painting is all very carefully done, neverthe- less, and the resultis a book that interests. The description is done in this style, which appears while he tells how the Indian sign language is used: It seems that what the Ileutenant said was, ‘‘Tell the Orst sergeant that [ wish to see the soldiers drill at 1 o’clock, and, after that, go tothe storeand ask Madeira if there is to be a beef issue to-day.’’ itis very difficult to describe in writing how he did this; and it is arealiy pretty thime to watch, it seems 4 pity to spoilit. As well as I remember it, he did something like this. He first drew his hand over his sleeve to mark the sergeant’s stripes; then he held his fingers upright in front of him, and moved them forward to signify soldiers; by holding them in still another position, he represented soldiers drilling; then he made a spy-giass out of his thumb and first finger, and looked up through it at the sky—this represented the sun at1 o'clock. **After that’’ was a oo cut in the air:the ‘‘store’’ wasaninterlacing of the fingers. to signify where one thing met or was exchanged for another; **Madeira’’ he named; beef was a turning up of the fingers to represent horns; aud how he represented issue I have no idea. It is a most curious thing to watch, for they change from one sign to the other with the greatest rapidity, I always regarded it with great interestas asortof game, and tried to guess what the different gestures might mean. Some of the signs are very old, and their origin Is as much in dispute as some of the lines in the frst folios of Shakspeare, and have nearly as many commenta- tors. All the Indians know these signs, but very few of them can tell how they came to mean what they do. **To go to war,’’ for instance, is shown by Sweeping the right arm out with the thumb and first finger at right angles; thiscomes from an early cus- tom among the lnulans of carrying a lighted pipe fore them when going on the war-path. The thumb and dnger in that position are supposed to sopresent the angle of the bow! ofthe pipe and the stem. Through all the author's comments upon what he saw there runs athread of sentiment, which shows the tie which binds these men in far distant homes to the seaboard. For instance, in a restaurantin Creede he overheard three or four rough looking fellows warmly discussing what appeared to bea mining claim, plans of which one of them drew with a fork on the olicieth covered table. Just as itap- pearedasif the dispute would end in blows and perhaps in a pistol shot or twe, Mr. Davis, thinking thet diecretion was the better part of valorand preparing to make a hasty exit, discov- ered that they were fighting over again a game of college foot ball, in which they had al: taken part ten ora dozen vears ago. One does not find such endings tosneh scenes ia **The Outcasts of Poker Fiat’’ orin **M'liss,’’ but they are very character- istic of Mr. Davis. Occasiona!ly he has a serious word to say, as regards, for exampie, the m~thods of distribnting live beef among ine Indians. The book is handsomely illustrated by Remington and others and published by Harper's, . 7 . Another book of very good stories has just come out of the West, the writer being Ros- well Martin Field,. the brother of Kugene Field, the Western poet. Mr. Field groups the stories under the title, **The sunflower Land; Stories of God’s Own Country.’’ ‘the stories are sometimes interesting and always carefully done;and the types of character are clearly drawn, but the writer lacks that intangible instinct that makes the suc- cessful writer of short stories, and all of the sketches fall _ short of the standard of excellence. In humor Mr. Field is at his best. ‘‘Col. Bollinger,’’ and ‘*‘What Broke up the Literary’’ are fairly amusing, but the stories that aim at pathos, such as,‘*How the Lord Remembered Airly,’’ are distinct failures, a strainatiter effect that annoys the reader. The book Is published by F. J. Schulte & Co., of Chicago, a publishing house that seems determined to give every Western writer of talent his op- ity. portunity - m . According to Carrica Le Fevre, who writes the ‘‘Royal Road to Beauty, Health and a Higher Development,’’ published by Fowler & Wells, New York,the eating of bananas puts one fairly in the middle of that way. Says the author: Von Humboldt has estimated, thirty-three pounds of wheat and ninety-nine pounds of potatoes require the same space of ground as will produce 4,000 pounds of bananas. and three good sized bananas contain as much nutrimentasa fourteen-ounce loaf of bread, so great is the ability of this ‘‘tree of Para- dise’’ (Musa Paradisiaca), to extract the greatest amount of vitalizing material from groundand sun and rain. It has been well said that this whole trop- ical region is **the land wherethat rare old aichem- ist, the sun,packs earth’s most delicate and fragrant essencesin most attractive shares.’ And of the banana another author has written: **They really save more labor than steam, giving the greatest amount of foodfrom agiven pieceof ground with the least labor. Two lines of invention having to do with banana culture are sorely needed in the West Indies, where with them the banana output would soon be doubled and in time might easily be multiplied ten- feld. These are adesiceating process and a flour or meal making process. The former is at present mostin demandand wherever one travels in the banana producing regions,from Demerara to British Honduras, from Colon toSamansa Bary, the cry will be heard on every large plantation, ©! if someone would only inventand perfectadrying or preserv- ing process that could be depended on. The man or woman who can put before the banana-growers of the West Indies, who send over $4,000,000 worth of fruit tothe United States each year, any system which will do for the bananas what is now done for the fig, the grape or the corinth, commonly known as ‘‘dried currants:’’ or whocan succeed in treating that fruit as well as peaches, apricots and prunelias now are, wil! find himself the possessor of a wealth-producing invention. The author of this bookis a lecturer on manners and dress, and has invented a method of carrying an umbrellato which she devotes part of one of those talks. 7 - +. Charles H. Sergel & Co. of Chicago, have brought out intheir medallion series ‘‘The Confession of a Child of the Century,’’ by Alfred De Musset. The confession is one of the strongest works of De Musset, and many of his contemporaries in Paris declared when it was first written that he had never done anything half so brilliant. It approaches poetry more nearly, perhaps, than any of De Musset’s prose vorks, and throughout the story is one of great eloquence and beauty. = 2 a Irene E. Jerome, the author of ‘‘In a Fair Country,’’ and other books of natural de- scription, in prose and verse, has collected a number of her prettiest things and bound them together withthe name, ‘‘sSun Prints in Sky Tints.’’ Lee & Shepard, Boston, publishing the book. Miss Jerome is an established favorite, whose na- tive gifts and artistic skill have been fully manifested in many previous works. In this new volume there is a departure from the beaten path, and the result is a gift book which is wholly unique. As intimated inthe title, the pages are printed in biue, a de- licious tint, by which the lights ana shadows are delicately brought out, and full expres- sion is given to the drawings. The cover, which was designed by the artist,is novel and attractive. Thesketches were made dl- rectly from nature, without the aid of a camera, and their character is finely pre- served by the masterly work of the engraver onwood,. There arethirty of these delight- ful sketches, accompanied by appropriate selections in prose and verse. 7 al 7 If American housewives do not believe that they can learn much inthe way of economy from the French woman, they should take a glance ata new cook-book which has just been published by John Ireland, New York. It is by Bobst, and pretends to teach only the cooking of bolled beef. ‘‘Ninety-nine Practi- cal Methods of Utilizing Boiled Beef’’ is its title. Eachone ofthe ninety-nine methods results in an appetizing dish for the dinner table. - * * G. T. Howerton has written a book, ‘‘Short Tales on Character Building,’’. which is fully as dullas Samuel Smiles’ **Self Help,’’ and not one-tenth as instructive. The author seems in the beginning to be undecided whether character its formed by physicaland mental influences, and he wanders through a hundred pages or so of his book discussing this question, finally leaving itasit was. He barely hints at the influence of heredity and lays much stress on the commonplace advice to young men to be careful how they marry. There isa disagreeable goody- goody, priguish tone to the whole book. The Fowler & Wells Co. publish the book, Ambrose Bierce and Gustav Adolph Danzi- rsay, ina preface, that they obtained the erman tale from which they wrote the story of **The Monkand the Hangman’s Daugh- ter,’’ from Richard Voss of Heidelberg, who in his turn made his version out of an old oy oy oun tothe tem ation = gested by the titie of the book. The soene ie laid in Switzerland ‘*Mrs. Harry st. John’’ is called ‘‘a realis- tic novel of Boston fashionable life’’ by its author, Robert Applieton.

Another excellent addition to the history of our country is**Witchcraft in Salem Village,’’ by Winfield 8. Nevins, published by Lee & Shepard, Boston. The author has spent much time looking up the records ofthe trials in Salem, and the proceedings in court against the persecuted old women are graph- ically and accurately described. The book Is well illustrated with pictures of historical spots in Salem and about the old town. . . ‘*West and East’’ is an interesting romance based on the doings of a young couple who are doing Algeria. Laura Coates Reed, the author, has traveled through this country with an observant eye and, while she car- ries on her love story in an interesting way, the reader gets a very £000 idea of the scenes in the midst of which the wvoing Is done.

The prices of the liquors sold are not more expensive than when the private li- censes Conducted the trade; they are fixed by the societies, subject to the approval of © municipal council, sothatthe public tn- terest is perfectly protectedin that matter too. The tariff of prices is hung up in the bars for the inspection 6f the customers. Only men of trustworthy character are appointed ~ the sccieties, but subject to the approval ofthe municipal council. Theyare cladina uniform, each man with a number on his collar, like a policeman, to enable his identt- fication incase of a customer having any complaint to make.’’ Mr. Brooksadds: ‘‘Under conditions that Gre distinctly more hopeful than those which Sweden and Norway offer can any good reason be given why, ina question of such appalling perplexity, we should not have the advantage of such sxperience as an honest trial of this system would yield us?’’ According to Dr, Henry INCUR- Smith Williams, there is but one disease from which, as soo as he sees it, the physician must stand aside, and, helpless, let it run its course till the patient is dead, -**Ofall the diseases that menace the race,’’ Dr. Williams writes in the North American Re- view, ‘‘only a few are absolutely fatal. In- Geed, there is but one common disease that invariably brings ite victims speedily to the grave. This most ruthiess: of mala- dies is that terrible form of insanity tech- nically called general. garesis or paretic de- mentia, and known to the layman as ‘‘soft- ening ofthe brain.’’ Its unvarying history entities it to precedence over consumption, cancer, Bright’s disease; in short, places it peerless in bad pre-eminence. And asif this were not enough, its malignity is emphasized by the way in which it juggles with its victim before it extinguishes his life. It changes his personality, dethrones reason, almost eliminates the mind, and, steadily weakening the body, leaves toward the lasta mere skKel- etal, Vegetative being scarce recognizable as the vestige of his former self; unknowing, un- feeling, mindless, to his friends at oncea tearful memory and aterrible objective pres- ence, Finally death comes ina form horrible enough to be the fitting climax of so awfula disease. to make the image yet sad- der, and hence truer, it should be added that aresis usually selects for its victims the ntellectual members of the community. **Selects,’’ did I say? Rather, I should have used the passive tense; for paresis does not come unbidden. Ruthless as itis when once it has seized a victim, it need haveno terrors forany one who does not invite it by his actions. Andthis, perhaps, is the saddest fact ofall in the sad history of this baleful disease. To stand heipless and see a strong man cut down by disease isalways appalling; but to feel that his disease was preventable; to know that he is but reaping as he has sown; to have the words come unbidden to our lips, ‘the wages of sin is death,’—this sindeed a bitter and humiliating experl- ence.’’ THE ONE ABLE DISEASE. A. M. Fanning, M. D., dis- cussing deafness and the care ofthe ears for the benefit of the rapid reader, in the Pop- wlar Science Monthly, says: **The earliest symptom of beginning deaf- nessin many cases is aringing sound inthe ears. Many patients describe it asa noise all through the head rather than in the ear itself. It is atfirst intermittent and occa- sional. The ringing may be present for some time, scarcely perceptible, when suddenly the sound will change, becoming much louder, and the note jumping high up in the scale, where it will continue to ring quite loudly for some minutes, and gradually dle away, to appear again some time afterward. It mey reappear in a few hours, as the trouble with the ears progresses. Kinging in the ears may also be the prelude toan acute attack of earache; but itis here followed very soon by pain, which so predomipates over the ringing that it is no longer heard. ‘*If the hearing is properly tested justas soonas theringing inthe ears has become more or less Constant, some degree ofr deaf- ness will be detected. As the Case progresses, even before ali the so-called superfluous hearing has been destroyed, the patient will realize thathe is becoming deaf. For this condition there is nothing to be done by the patient himself. Advice from a physician should be obtained just as soon as the diminution of hearing is suspected. **Much can be accomplished, however, by the patient toward preventiny the deafness becoming worse. Careful attention should be devoted to the general health, to keep the nose and throat inas healthy condition as possible—to prevent ‘‘taking cold,’’ es- pecially cold in the head, Exposure to changes of weatber should be avoided; the feet never being allowed to become wet, or, ifthey do become wet, the shoes and stock- ings should be changed fordry ones as soon as possibile. ‘turkish baths and plenty of outdoor exercise is strongly to be recom- mended, tostimulate the circulation and in- ure the system to changes of weathber.’’ Henry Burden Mc- WHY FIRECRACKERS Dowell, after a thor- ARE RED. ough study of Chinese life in this country, ventures to write for the December //arpera defense of the race, bringing forward con- spicuously its virtues. Describing this cus- tom of the people he says: **In associating a mystical meaning with the color red, and closely connecting this mean- ing with tne tree of life, the Chinese have but followea out all analogies to their logical conclusion. The tree of life is the tree of an; andredis thecolor notonly of man’s lood but of the universal life.

What the English Actress Wears in “As in a Looking-Glass.’’ Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Nzw YOrK, Dec. 1.—Mrs. Bernard Beere in ‘ ‘‘As in a Looking-Glass’’ wears five cos- tumes. In act first she is in a walking cos- tumeof white cloth, embroidered in black jet and moonstones. The second costume is a house gown of gray crepe de chine, draped over a founda- tion of gray velvet. Thecrepe de chine falis loosely from the shirringat the neck and is a NONE OF THE ARTISTIC FURNITURE CONTAINS STRAIGHT LINES. _ The District Convontion of the Woman's _ Ohristian Temperance Union will be held at the First Congregational Uhurch, Delmar ' @ventie near Grand avenue, next Friday and Saturday, Dec. 9and 10. Mrs. F. H. Ingalls, Curves! The line adopted for house decorating and furnishing this winter is essentially a curved line. And,oh! we are so very French! Colo- nial designs and ideas are still patronized to President of the District Union, will de, and the delegates wlll some extent; but they are almost lost in the Mumber 100. #The convention will be merry flood of bow-legged tables and alder- caught at the waist by a belt of sparkling ‘falled to order at 2 o'clock next manic cabinets like those which hobnobbed jewels. The sleeves are loose in design, Friday afternoon. The work in several of at Versailles when Louis Quinze was ordering They are of crepe de chine banded with gil- the butcher, the baker, and especially the ver braid, In the latter half of this act Mrs. Beere wearsa Koman tea gown. It is of white crepe de chine made up loosely over pink silk, which gives the crepe a shot effect of a rosy hue. Thereisalong train and the skirt ig bordered with a band of black fox fur. The front of the gown is held in bya girdle of Roman embroidery which reflects varied tints of green, bronze and gold, edged with tiny gold balls which jingle as Mrs, Beere ; moves. The collar is also of the embroidery, The back appears wonderfully narrow by the sleeve pleces, which reach to the ground, becoming lost in the soft drapery of the \ crepe. When the armis are raised the sleeveg §S look like transparent wings. j In act 8 Mrs. Beere wears a walking cos- tume of plain yellow cloth, with a Directoire the departments of the W. ©. T. U. will be ‘discussed. The crusade against the use of narcotics, which is one of the main branches of the union, the temperance work among foreigners and the colored people, - Sunday-school work, andthe all-important - problem of the finances of the union will re- caive consideration. The unique feature of the convention will be a strictly prohibition banquet ofthe dele- gates next Friday evening. An elaborate menu ofedibles will be served, but not a Gropof liquor.

Episc opal Orphans’ Home. The Episcopal Orphans’ Home is a large building onthe corner of Grand and Lafay- ette avenues. It is surrounded by beautiful grounds in which the children play during the summer and upon mild days in the winter season. For some weeks past there has been illness in this institution as in many others in our midst. Butnot a single death has resulted Friendless is open to them. But those old ladles who are unfortunate enough tolose their husbands after coming to the Memorial Home are allowed to remain there. The residence used as the Home is what was formerly known asthe ola Beauvois Mission andis surrounded by spacious grounds. A handsome new annex has just been com- pleted at an expense of from $17,000 to $20,000, and contains as many as thirty-two beautiful apartments. There are about forty-two aged inmates in the home at present. Among these there are eight married couples, most of the others being old gentiemen. The most interesting couple in the home are Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Haines. They have been inmates of the home for several years and on the 2th of December Mr. Haines will complete his 105th birthday. He is one of the most active and useful of all the inmates and frequently attends to any work about the building which comes within his prov- ince asanengineer. Mr. Haines has never been married but once, and his wife Is with him at Memorial Home, being an active little woman of 65 years, forty years younger than her husband, yet she does not look ten years his junior. The ladies who constitute the board of officers are Mrs. C. R. Springer of No. 25 Cabanne street, President; Mrs. J. J. O’Fal- friends of the friendless. Donations and at- tendance at the bazaar or gifts to the Inmates for Christmas are most earnestly solicited, in this house containing eighty children there is scarcely atoy. The money expended must be used for more practical needs, and the heedless, but kindhearted public thinks notand knows not of this dearth of child- hood’s usual comforters. A jumping-jack from which some petted darling has licked most of the paint,a toy boat without its sail or rudder,a miniature plece of mechanism which has been dissected by its owner and in which some cog has been inadvertantly misplaced or left out. Yes, even a disjointed doll would be most thankfully received by the sisters and en- joyed by the little ones. A warm, soft pair of Knitted or crochet slippers, a shoulder shawl, ora warm undershirt made from the best parts of some woolen dress which has ceased to be serviceable, would warm the body and cheer the heart of some old lady whom death has bereft of her loved ones, and, consequently, of mostallthe pleasures and luxuries we love to give to those who watched us through helplessness and giadened and 0beguiled us through childhood’s griefs and joys. The sisters are in need of funds to meet the year’s currentexpenses. They also hope, in time, to bulld further away from the smoke of the city. The smallest offering to the cause or giftto the inmates will be thankfully re- ceived, asit is oftenthe aggregate of littie things rather than the exceptional big ones, which best encourage and support charitable As for Lega. The designs are also carried into the wood- work and hangings ofa room. Thereisa perfect epidemic of white and gold drawing: rooms, with floating ribbons and wreaths of flowers carved on the doors and mantel- pieces. Naturally the furniture cannot be dark and massive, so there are elaborately carved giltcbhairs upholstered with tapestry and spidery tablesand glass-faced cabinets with glass shelves covered with rare porce- lain. te: monizes with the apartment which it faces and the other is in tone with the second room, Mirrors are, with one accord, oval. The old cheval glass is again standing by with its ready invitation to us to see our ourselves as others seeus. Another old-time fashion, which has at least opened one eyefrom its long sleep, is that of the canopled bedstead. You may finda few stray one looming up in the corners of the storeroomsand, perhaps with prophetic omen, overshadowing the low- posted ones near by, The little French escritoires are dainty enough to make the most incorrigible letter hater write reams just to be in such close proximity to their fascinating forms. In short, if we are English in our personal make-up we are just as decidedly French in the form of our present household gods. And no matter how inuch of an Anglomaniac you may be at your tallor’s, you must cross the Channel, and a hundred years, too, when you go to the furniture shops. Quite a Romance. A romantic story comes to hand from Paris. CASUAL OBSERVATIONS Made bya Woman Who £ees Things as They Are. The man who prefers his own comfort to anything else in the world is a mean man. But the man who attempts to secure both his own comfort and the gratitude due to unself- ish thought for othersis the man forwhom no adjective is strong enough. He is by no means arare specimen of masculine kind, and when the fate he deserves overtakes him there should de a public thanksgiving. One of this particularly objectionable tribe was going up-town the other afternoon in an Olive streetcar. He dropped into a vacant seat at Jefferson avenue and not havinga newspaper began to make out his accounts in a small note-book in order to seem uncon- scious of the swinging, swaying women who clung to the straps.

The sleeve was asuccession of puffs interspersed with the fnest of pleatings and finished with a frill of the embroidery. Another dainty creation owned by this same maiden made herappearas if enveloped in lace. The foundation ofthe gown was fine linen. It was an empire nightrobe. The short waist, which was nothing morethan a deep yoke, was made entirely of lace. Over this was a deep lace collar, which was madetostand out very full over the shoul- ders. The sleeves were all puffed, one lace puff following the other from the deep full one at the shoulder to the narrow one at the wrist. The bottom of the nightdress was trimmed with two deep frills of lace, one above the other. An immense amountof time is saved by having a place for everything and everything inits place. A ballof cora, for instance, is seldom to be found when wanted ina hurry unless there isa case somewhere about the house just made for that particular ball of cord, A novel case foracord ball is round inshape and made of aluminum, with a border of blue enameled forget-me-nots. At the sideisa _~ To Keep String In. place forasmall pair of scissors, anditisa pretty fancy to have their steel handles enameledin blue. With these cases are sold balls of blue cord. There are quite as varied an assortment of baby cradles as there are babies to putin them. The baby who was not born witha silver spoon in its mouth rocks in an ordinary cradle of willow, and no doubt, if it hasn’ta stomach ache, it is content. For the Baby Born to Luxury. However, the baby to luxury born rocks in something far different. It may not bring one whit more of contentment, but it de- lights the mother, and that is something to be considered. It also delights the merchant who selis it, for it isn’t every day one of these cradles issold. The cradle is swung from a gilt standard. The wicker basket part is gilded and fin- ished all around the edge with a puffing of white silk. The tiny down plllow on which the baby rests its head has a pillow case of white silk, and the cradle spread is of white silk, tufted with gold. This cradie is half covered with a draped canopy of white silk, over which is a scattering of daisies wrought in gold thread, Thereis an air of luxury about this white and gold cradie which the mothers of all babies can appreciate.

Here the morning paper are always placed, and the men of the family are apt to be unanimous in their approval of at least this one piece of household furniture. Theit only objection is that the chair might have been upholstered in leather. It is said that rose-colored veils are to be among the novelties for winter wear. There is some doubt as to the extent they will beau- tify the wearer. Onasnapping cold day in winter, when one’s nose is inclined to take on a rosy hue, possibly the imagination could fancy something prettier than the said nose screened by a vell which could only heighten the already vivid color effect. A novelty for the 5 o’clock tea table isan exquisite little gold arrangement used as a tea strainer. It js in the shape ofa gold bonbon spoon with a rather large bowl. The golden bowl is finely pefforated and outside of this there is a rim. of black ana gold enamel, with here‘and there a tiny jewel. The long handle of gold is tipped with the jeweled enameling. BODICES AND THEIR ADORNMENT. Falls of Soft Lace Combined With Dell- cately Tinted Chiffon. This season the waists of our gowns are lavishly adorned. The adornment is apt to be adjustable. It hooks on in some mysteri- ous wayinthe back and consists of falls of soft lace combined with delicately tinted chiffon, or it sparkles with jewels and flutters with ribbons. You may call this adornment what you please. A fichu correctly fashioned usually haslong ends, One which unkin& critics might describe as alace bib, with ends attached, is in reality a very pretty affair. The straight collar is of finely shirred pale blue crepe, through which a silver thread isrun. Fastened to this is a yoke of the pale blue crepe arranged in the softest of folds and bordered with a deep pattern of antique lace, the long ends of which fall below the waist line. The fancy evening bodices grow more and more beautiful each season. At present there is a varied assortment of exquisite ma- terials of which they may be fashioned. A round, low corselet-shaped bodice is of white crepe de Chine, trimmed trom byst to waist line with pointed bands of gold galon, studded with jewels. Over the bust the crepe is arranged with a full effect, bordered witha deep frillof French lace. The neck is outlined with a band of white curly ostrich feather trimming. A few loops of ribbon andadraping oflace constitute the sleeve. An original idea for banishing the plain- ness Of a tight-fitting black silk waist is to insert a square yoke back and front. The yoke is decidedly pretty and will brighten up the gown effectively if it be made of Vene- tian point lace overa foundation of colored silk. The yoke should be made full and slightiy pleated over the shoulders. A rosette of Bebe ribbons with long ends looks wellattaceed to thecollar. An effective way to arrange the upper part of a princess robe istoinsert a yoke formed of a slight puffing of iace. This should be banded with narrow straps of passementerie, coming from each shoulder and crossing in the center. The high-puffed sleeves of the princess gown are made more effective by being screened by an epaulette of lace of the same pattern as that which forms the yoke. ‘PRETTY HAIR. Care Will Make the Hair Glossy and Fine to Behold. ‘*‘Every woman may have pretty hatr, if she knows how to take care of her head,’’ is the judgment of a well-known hair special- ist. ‘*‘And just how attractive her hair may be depends entirely upon herself,’’ The first cardinal rule for the hatr is that it should be washed at least once a month. The best thing to wash itin is warm, soft water, thickened with castile soap. Shake until there is a lather, andthenadd half atea- spoonful of household ammonia toa quart of water. Brush the hair clean every morning witha very soft brush, andif it be *oo dry rub ina tiny lump of vaseline nextthescalp. This prevents dandruff.

Do not tie the hatr. }onot putsharp ornamental pins in your braids. Do not wear stif? neck ruffllings that cutthe hair. if the bair be inclined to turn gray prema- turely you may perhaps remedy the evil by brushing the gray places morning and night and anointing them with alcohol used in half its strength. Should there be atendency to baldness, rub the afflicted spots with vasei!ne every day. Vary the arrangement ofthe hair occasion- ally to rest it, and never draw it back tightly from the sides of the head. There are many hair specialists who can change the shade of the hair without injuring ii. But the home genius will do well not to experiment with dyes and bieaches. A strong ammonia water gives a siight red dash tothe hair. So doesa solution of henna. Soaa has the same effect, but we must not use too much of it. Strong black tea darkens the hair, as does alcohol also, But after all, as every artist and beauty- lover will tell you, itis better to letthe hair remain inits natural shade. Shampoo it oc: casionally, brush it often and dress it becom. ingly. Home-Made Mustard. Written for the SUNDAY PostT-DIsSPraTcn.

In afctent days, until it became necessary to teach a child the use qf its limbs, it was the common practice throughout Europe, as itis in some parts still, to keep an infant swathed or swaddied; but after the bandages Were removed and the child gained the freedom of its limbs, clothing of every kind was dispensed withforatime, The process of swadaling Is nothing less than a torture. | A somewhat modified system of swaddling prevails in certain parts of Germany. The baby is wrapped up in a long, nafrow pillow, which is turned up at the feet and tucked un- derthe chin. Three bands of ribbon, generally blue, are passed round the plllow in differ- ent places and tied in large ornamental bowsin front. In this ehrysalis condition nothing of the baby’s body is visible, but the small, round face, and that is encircled, and toa large extent hidden, by a cap, adorned with frills and fastened under the chin with strings. Scandinavian peasant cnil dren are swathed in bandages six inches wide, but on the top of the swathing have many little decorative tokens. When, on the Sunday after its birth, a child is taken to the church by its godmother to be christened, it 1s made bright with col- ored bows and beads and a little cap, and, as the clergyman holds it over the font and per- forms the water-sprinkling ceremony, it is compelled to remain @ passive victim, being quite unable to move a limb, aay Sraares® vrom A Beaman Bre P14.

The cradle mostly in use inthe North consists of a pillow-lined basket suspended from a springy pole, which on once being pulled down, will continue swaying for a considerable time. Another variety of Swedish cradle isa primitive wooden box fastened to a spiral spring fixed inthe roof. This, again, is easily kept moving up and down, Still further north the peasant mothers of Lapland place theirswathed children in the snow for warmth. They take the babies tochurch with them, but instead of carrying them into the edifice they make a hole in the snow outside in the churchyard, and bury them in it, leaving only a small aperture for breathing purposes. The Egytian girl baby has to remain unwashed and undressed until the danger of the ‘fevileye’’ has passed. The fond mother, in addition to leaving her babe unwashed, will rub its face over with soot and clay, orcover it with a thick black vell, and, when friends and relations call, they will be careful to declare the child an ugly fright, to help to deceive the enemy. The child of a Moslem or Turk is kept unwashed untilitis a year old, and its cradle is made of mud, The North American Indians’ cradle Is only a hollowed piece of woot, oramong the in- terior tribes is made of cypress bark. The mother laces itin byacord passed from side tuo side, a small piece of wood covered with teased bark servingfor a pillow. Someof the in. terior tribes have bells attached to this cradle, andthe tinkling sound hasa pleasing effect when heard in the lonely walls. When the mother tis traveling, she carries the cradle and its contents on her back In an upright position, the chiid’s head just appearing over the mother’s shoulder. When work- ing she hangs it toa pliaat branch ofa tree, allowing the windto rock it, or, if more con- venient, toa flexible pole stuck inthe ground. Chinese babies are solemnly washed at three days old, and have their wrists tied up with a red cotton cord, to whichacharm is attached for the purpose of warding off evil spirits. The head isshaved when the child is a month old, the barber having to wear red on the occasion, that being considered the most lukcy color. Chinese mothers frequently carry their children on their backs after the manner cf Indians, —_—-— Frocks for Growing Girls. : The miss in the middle Illustration has on a frock of fawn-colored ‘‘Mignonette’’ cloth with a trimming of rows of baby ribbon, of a quaint little Paisley-shaw! design.

Le Fontaine says yes. He even goes so far @s to say that people who are color blind may be quite accurate by means of other senses— taste, touch, smell or even the feeling of warmth. He named in his last work—viz., **Oolor Blind People and Blind Colored Peo- ple Contrasted’’—a case ih which a locomo- tive engineer, who had been color blind for twenty years and heli his position by means of the sense of smell, claimed afterward that @ red light had an odor like red flannel, while the green light had a smell like green flannel, He lost his place, however, while suffering from a polypus of the nose. This may ormay not have been true, but day before yesterday we had onthe Pullman car Asphyxia coming northa man who said that the race problem had induced him to go south for the month of November, where he found that the colored man was well treated and rapidly becoming so wealthy as to threaten the supremacy of the white race.

He says alsothatthere is astrong atmosphere of progress prevading the gatherings there, and though color biind he says that the othersenses may be readily educated, ifatall sensitive, so that even in the darkness one may detect almostat once the color of the complexion pervading the meeting, though this of course refers to the primary colors and not to delicate shades. I believe that many curlous anecdotes migit be related regarding the wonderful distinction of color by people whoare bDbiind or color blind.

Warliek reports a case in the South Mountain section of Burke County, N.C., which is one of the most remarkable on record, if we except the Scriptural story of Sarah. Mrs. William E. Smith of Upper Fork Township gave birth to a child, a circumstance which would have created very little comment in the South Mountain had it not been that the day on which the child was born happened to be Mrs. Smith’s 70th birthday. The child was alive and well formed, and the physicians al! say this beats the record, it is not so common at the age of 80 or 90 to be able to read fine print in the mountains, because some hare neglected to read coarse print while young, but health and long life and a pleasing mixture of children and grandchildren are features of this most won- derful air. But I hardly feel like engaging help here thatis troubled with hip disease, for half of these cripples recover so soon that they run away before I can supply their places. I got a good man to help me with light work (as he had formerly worked ina light-house), He had eleven hemorrhages on the way here and was brought on a mattress to the house, but the following morning he quarreled with the man who brought his trunk, and break- ing the poor baggageman’s jaw with a single blow deciared he would not live in such a lawless country and rode back to East Hamp- ton, Mass., on my bicycle. We only ask that people who are bene fited by our climate will give it proper credit. It grieves us like everything to have friends come here breathing with anything they can get hold of and then go away with large, nice, new red lungsand claim that it was.

The item in the Atlanta Constitution is true, but not complete. It should have added that while Mrs. Smith was celebrating her 70th birthday Mr. Smith, her husband, was work- ing alone on my justly celebrated well, which is 102 feet deep, and bringing up the granite fragments ina bushel basket held in his teeth, runningup and down the rope hand over hand like acat, and cleaning out the well preparatory to putting in the plumb- ing. Mrs. Smith is his second wife, and they have lived together as manand wife for fifty years. During the war they lived on a bank of edible clay and a distant relative.

He has been mistaken several times for another William E.

Asheville has a large and prosperous ceme- tery filled entirely with people from the North who walitedfive or ten minutes too late before coming here. Health here is so food, and one feels so perfectly vigorous that the monotonous longevity drives some to drink. The pale, white juice of the Early corn is used for this purpose, and yields a. grateful warmth, followed by a healthy glow, and afterward by coma, stertorous breathing, incoherent mutterings and other signs of the third party. A vaiued friend writes from Chicago: ‘'We certainly not only rival New York, but far exceed her in one thing, viz.: the impudence and worthlessness ofservants.’’ Continuing **I have lived in Chicago for nearly forty years and never yet have seen such utter horror in the outlook for the employers of servants.

Then, onedayina gymna- sium, I wasshown tiie ball itself. Itis a quick, willing affair, shaped like a _ ripe watermelon, and I-had fun with it for an hour. Thena young man, who said he was Captain ofthe ‘‘Athletics,’’ asked me if I wouldn’t join histeam. Hesaidthey wanted some new blood in the ‘‘Athiletics,’’ and that, with @ little practice, I would make a first-rate half-back or water-back, or some- thing. I was only too glad to en- roll myself as a member, and on the following day I met with the each man went into convulsions. The elocu- tionist climbed up writhing humanity and upon it, This performance was repeated many times, and was, in a way, rather interesting, More collar bones were broken than any- thing else, I think. Once during the game I asked a man Who sat next to me why it was called *‘foot bail’’ instead of ‘‘*head ball.’*’ He did notreply. He was a vVoiceful idiot who yelled most of the time, and pretended that he could keep score. Itisa rough game —not sO Maly vowels in it, sotospeak. I decided that all foot ball players should speak the Welsh language, enjoy Wagner and eat horse-feed. Immediately after the game was over I sought the Captainof tne Athletics and firmly resizned from his team. **But you don’: understand the game yet,’’ he expostulated. ‘* why, man, it’sthe most scientific game played?’ **I grant you that,’’ Isaidin my scholarly way, ‘‘but the game js not whatit should be; it is handicappeu by the restrictions which anced exultantly on top of the mass of me, with spiked shoes on, and hope to pass it off by saying *‘A-B-G-Q-12-21.’ ”’ It is, doubtless, true, as the Captain said, that the ‘‘Athletics’’ need never again be put toany practical use, [ut they shall never have any of my own personal blood to spill around over a barren waste of ground with white lines painted on it.

If they want new and good stories they ought tocome to the Exchange and gather up some of the tales we tell.’’ Then he went on and told one of the latest Exchange stories. It was funny, but, though my acquaintance did not Know it, it was not entirely new. In fact in primitive form it had already appeared in a London publica- tion bearing the interesting date of 1789. I cali the date interesting, because to us Americans itis truly so. It is the date of the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, and most of us have been brought up to belleve that that was a very serious time. That people jested at that time many of us have overlooked, but that they did jest, and jest well, there is tangible evidence in the little book ‘‘Joe Miller’s Jest,’’ first printed in 1789. The title page isacuriosity. It is almost as long as a serial story and typographically it is not ungraceful. In full this page is as fol- lows: doe Miller’s Jests; or, the Vade-Mecum, ell . ig : A Collection of the wost Brilllant Jests: the Politest Kepartees; the most Elegant Bons Mots, and most pleasant short Stories in the English Language.

Read,in Dogwell-Court, : : White-Fryers, Fieet-Street, MDCCXXXIX. : ‘*The lamentable friend,’’ Elijah Jenkins, Esq., was a worthy trustee of Joe Miller’s fund of humor, and however much Mr. Ket- tledrummer Baker may have objected to the dictation certainly Alexander Pope had rea- s0n to be proud to have his name upon the title page of a volume containing so much that was waspish in its humor. The jokers of to-day consider themselves highly original when they speak of ‘‘General Humidity,’’ ‘‘General Apathy’’ and ‘*Gen- eral Debility,’’ as if these were military men, and one comic paper apropos of the cholera scare has gone so farastostate that ‘‘Gen- eral Quarantine’’ istheonly warrior to cope with that turbulent immigrant Mike Robe, They little knew that London laughed at this same bit of idiocy in 1789 and previously— which London aid on the evidence presented by this Jest book issued 103 years ago. One story printed by Mr. Miller’s friend Jenkins, the lamentable, will be recognized by the reader of our modern comic papers, ‘*A pragmatical fellow,’’ says Miller, vice Jenkins ‘‘sitting atatable over against the learned John Scot, asked him what differ- ence there was between Scot and Scot. Just the breadth of the table, answered the others.’’ Mr. Miller, vice Jenkins, bears testimony to the witof Henry IV. of France, who, upon readingan ostentatious inscription on the monument ofa Spanish officer: ‘‘Here lies the body of Don ——, who never knew what tear was,’’ immediately observed, ‘*‘Then he never snuffed a candle with his fingers.’’ This is good enough for one of Dr. Depew’s speeches, with slight changes, such as the Doctor Knows so well how to make. Story number 30 in this antique compen- dium of humor is as follows: ‘*A country clergyman, meeting a neigh- bour who never came to church, altho’ an old fellaw of above 60, he gave him some re- proof on that account, and and asked him if he never read at Home. No, reply’d the Clown, I can’t read. Idare say, said the Parson, you don’t know who made you; not I, introth, said the countryman. A little Boy coming by at the same time, who made you, Child, cry’d the parson, God, Sir, answered the Boy. Why look you there, quoth the Honest Clergyman, are not you ashamed to heara Chiid of five or six years old tell me who made him, when you that are so olda Mancannot. Ah said the Country- man, itisno Wonder that he should remem- ber, he was made but t’other Day, it is a great while, Master, sin I were made,’’ The beggars of the eighteenth century if one can judge of their wit from the specimens Mr. Jenkins has selected from the table talk of his friend Miller, must have been almost as bright asthe essayists and poets ofthat strangely humorous timé. It is not atall impossible to believe really that had there been comic papers to purchase their wares in those bad oldtimes the beggars would have been relieved of beggary and raised to that level of affluence which the professional joke-writer of to-day enjoys. The two excerpts following are fair samples of the wit of the beggars of the time: ‘*Sir Willlam Davmant, the Poet, had no Nose, who going along the street one day, a Beggar-Woman followed him, crying, ah! God preserve your Eyesight; sir, the Lord preserve your Eyesight. Why,good Woman, said he, do you pray so much for my Eye- sight? Ah! dear Sir, answered the Woman, if it should please God that you grow dim- sighted you have no Place to hang your spectacles on.’’ ‘*A Beggar asking Alms under the Name of a poor Scholar, a gentleman to whom he ap- ply’d himself ask’d him a Question in Latin, the Fellow, shaking his Haed,said he did not understand him: Why, said the Gentleman, did you not say you were a poor Scholar? Yes, reply’d the other, a poor one indeed, sir, for I don’t understand one Word of Latin.’’ The origin of a joke which has been more or less familiar tothe readers of fin de siecle fun is shown in the following story attributed by Jenkins and Miller to Ben Jonson: ‘*My Lord Cravin, in King James I.’s reign, was very cesirous to see Ben Jonson, which being told to Ben, he went to my lord’s house, but being inavery tattered condi- tion, as Poets sometimes are, the Porter re- fused him Admittance, with some saucy lan- guage, which the other did not tall to return: My Lord happening to come out while they were wrangling, asked the Occasion of it. Ben, who stood in need of nobody to speak fur him, said, he understood his Lora- ship desired to see him; you, Friend, said my Lord, who are you? Ben Jonson, replied the other: No, no, quoth my Lord, you can- not be Ben Jonson who wrote the ‘Silent Woman,’’ you (ook as if you could not say bo to a goose.: Bo, cried Ben, very well, said my Lord, who was Detter pleased at the joke than offended at the affront, lam now con- vinced by your wit, you are Ben Jonson.’’ The modern version of this consists ofa pretty picture of a young woman gazing ata mantle- piece against Yb agee a young man is leaning, and beneath itis printed this legend: He: **You wouldna’t fo booh to a goose. ’* She: **Booh?’’ ” of clothes to be made ‘‘just at the Time when Addresses were coming to him re all Parts of the Kingdom. Tom KI! went tothe Taylor and ordered him to f | a very large Pocket on one Side of the 7. and one so small on the other that the King seeming very odd, when they were b home, he (the King) ask’d the Meaning of it, the Taylor said Mr. Killigrew order’d it 60. Killigrew being sent for, and interrogated, said one Pocket was for the Addresses of his Majesty’s Subjects, the other for the Muney they would give him.’’ The laboring mun’s wit was not wanting im Miller’s time, as witness this story: “Dr. Tadloe, who was a very fat man, happening to go thump, thump with his great Legs,through a street in Oxford, where some Paviers (pavers) bad been at work, in the midstof July, the fellows immediately laid down their Rammars, ah! God bless yar, Master, cries one of ’em, it was very kind of you to come this Way, it saves us a great deal of Trouble this hot Weather.’’ This is quite as good as the story recently ftold ofa prominent New Yorker who acé# costed a street paverand asked if his work. was not very hard. ‘‘Well, your honor,’’ re- plied the laborer, ‘‘it aln’t lawn tennis.’*’ That Miller’s time was not essentially a re- ligious period is shown in the story of the tw@ **Gentlemen who were disputing about Re- ligion in Button’s Coffee-House. Said one of them, I wonder, Sir, you should talk of Ree ligion, when I’ll hold You five Guineas you can’t say the Lord’s Prayer. Done, said the other, and Sir Richard Steele shall hold Stakes. The Money being deposited, th Gentleman began and went cleverly thro* the Creed. Well, said the other, I own have lost; I did not think he could hay done it.’’ Another ood story which many reade may recognize as a new tale in old clothes about ‘‘A witty knave who, coming into ¢ Lece Shop upon Ludgate Hill, said he had Occasion for a small Quantity of very fin Lace, and having pitched upon some that h liked, asked the Woman of the Shop hoy much she would have foras much as would reach from one of his ears tothe other, and measure which Way she pleased, elther over his Head or under his Chin; after som words they agreed, andhe paid the Mone downand beganto measure saying, ‘One o my Ears ishere and the otneris nailed tc the Pillory in Bristol, therefore, 1 fear yo have not enough to make good your Bargain however, I will takethis plece in part and desire you willl provide the rest with all Ex- pedition’ ’’ In allthis collection of humorous stories the lamentable Jenkins shows himself to bea good editor, even if his knowledge of punctu- ation and spelling is scant, but he occasion- ally meets with one of the pitfallsof the comic editor ofto-day. Sometimes Jonking prints a ‘‘chestnut.’’ The most notable of these is the story of the dispute concerning a lady’s age between the lady and her cousin, **Cousin,’’ said she, ‘‘do you not believe that Iaminthe right whenIsay I am but 40?’* ‘*‘mMadam,’’ he replies, ‘‘Iought not to dis- pute it, for Ihave heard you say so these ten years.’’ The bitof repartee was originally uttered by Cicero and was believed by some savants to be not entirely fresh.
