HERZ IN ¥. France is quieting down somewhat from the revolutionary attitude occasioned by the Panama scandal. The last of the Deputies implicated was examined yesterday, and for the next ten days there will be no new reve- lations, at least nothing official. Meanwhile, the only man who could talk in- terestingly on the subject, Dr. Herz, keeps his bed at the Burlington Hotel here ana sees absolutely nobody. Letters, tele- grams, attempts to bribe his attendants are all fruitless. He is reported to have rented Bascombe Towers, the late residence of Sir Henry Drummond Wolfe. The latest rumor ‘touching bim was that he was in Italy and that the figure in the hotel was only his double, This was suggested in a written question sent up to him yesterday by your correspondent, in reply to which he wrote: I am ill in bed, and still in London.“ The French authori- ties are still working on his case, hoping to be able to extradite him. Baron Jacques de Reinach, who was insured in the Equitable for $20,000, took out his policy through the regular Paris agent as far back as 1881. He paid his policies regularly from year to year, and his insurance will be turned over to his executors as soon as they ask for it. * CURRENT TOPICS. Foxhall Keene and his bride, after a series of dinnersat the Albemarle Hotel, have set- tiled down at their newly leased country place at Melton Mowbray. The havea house full of guests with no important Americans among them, and are entertaining lavishly. He has just bought ten valuable brood mares, and later on will ship them to America in foal. Miss Cuyler will be married to Sir Philip Grey Egerton on Wednesday afternoon at St. Peter’s Church, Eaton Square. Mr. Henry White, the American Charge d' Affaires, will giveaway thebride. A number of her Paris friends are coming over for the wedding. This is about the time of the year when the channel tunnel scheme bobs up. Sir Edward Watkins’ committee met a day or two ago, and the burden of their meeting was the hope that the incoming Government would do something to help along thescheme. The mere suggestion of the tunnel conjures up pictures of hordes of French soldiers over- running these islands, and newspapers and public men raise wild howls’ of protest at the word tunnel. The first stud book concerning cats has just been issued from the International Cat Club. The pedigree of some two hundred cats is given and regular attention will De paid to their breeding hereafter. The fight against thecrinoline grows flercer and hotter day by day. Books, pamphiets, newspapers and public addresses unite in denouncing the threatened return of hoop- Its. The centenary of the discovery of the pate de fole gras has just been celebrated here by a big dinner given by goose liver gourmets. Out of 1,000 reviews upon the year 1892 touching every conceivable phase of human interest one learns that the year has been a bad one theatrically here and on the Continent,that German music has gone backward and Italian and French for- ward, that art has languished, that women have obtained concessions and made great Strides towards greater freedom and inde- pendence, and that financially everything has been going to the bad. The theaters, with the exception of seven- teen pantomines pow running, have deen doing practically no business during the holidays. Next week, however, promises a general revival BeerbDohm Tree gives his first representation of ‘‘Hypatia’’ at the Haymarket. John Hare will appear in Robin Goodfellow’’ at the Garrick and the Kendals open their season at the Avenue, three important premieres. NM ASOCAGNI. VERDI AN D BOTH GREAT COMPOSERS EAGER TO WIN TRIUMPHS WITH NEW MUSIC. LoxpDoN, Dec. 81.—Verdi, the great com- poser, who, in his long lifetime has seen one school of music rise and another fallinto semi-decline, has ‘ust taken a journey to Milan to superintend the production of his new opera ‘‘falstaff.’’ In spite of his great age, he is as eager and intense over this new child of his fancy as Mascagni, the young, is over his latest. Something of the querulousness of old age has added tothe natural querulousness of the musician and he has wrapped his new opera about with extraordinary precautions of secrecy. Nota line of the score is to be seen, the mise en scene is kept a profound secret, and the only thing known of the libretto is that it has been drawn by Bolto from Shak- speare’s *‘Henry lv.“ and ‘‘Merry Wives of Windsor.“ There are ten principal parts, two sopranos, one mezzo, one contralto, three tenors, two baritonées and one basso. The singers have all been selected by Verdi himself, and beginning to-morrow the opera will be gone over with the minutest care, It will be produced just a month from to- morrow’s rehearsal. Meanwhile Mascaxzni is not idle, and his new opera, ‘‘Radcliffe,’’ will have its first showing in March. The young composer is working as hard over it as his volatile nature will permit. Since the production of 1 Rantzan’’ people are asking why be does not ‘Stick to melodrama, which made him famous. When asked that question last week he said: *‘How on earth am Ito go on writing melodramas if by melodramas you mean works like ‘Cavalleria Rusticana?’ To begin with, it is the hardest thing in the world to get a libretto. In *Cavalleria’ I found a treasure. and when I find another one of the Same sort—or, at least, one as spirited and dramatic—why then I will do my Dest to write another ‘‘Cavalleria.’’ But, then, there is another thing—the public taste. If I had followed my first success with an opera of the same sort, I should have had to put still more pepper in it or it would have seemed flat. Now. one last question, have you any Gefinnite musical policy? Are you working to further any particular views or aims for the future of Italian music?’’ Now, leaving out of the qusstion all the idea of musical inspiration and so on, I could not stand the nervous strain that is involved in writing two such operas one after another. I love my work, Dut it is frightfully exhausting. Even a thing like 1 Rantzan,’ which you call idyllic and gentie, takes a tremendous deal of energy out of me,’’ and looking at his worn face and his air of general weariness one could well believe it. So, you see, [have thought it better to give a little rest both tothe public and to myself by varying the styles of my operas. The one that will be done next, *Willilam Radcliffe,’is melodramatic enough to By the way, let mo be honest about that. 1 see that itis spoken of as a new opera, but as amatterof fact it was written seven years ago when I was 22. But you are at work on a really mew one, are you not? Mascagni hesitated a moment. ‘‘IfI say yes ontright you might perhaps think me egotistic, but I assure I do not overestim - ate my own importance, Certainly I have aims, perhaps, wishes would be the better word, My artistic ideal is the even balance of I want always to be trae, even to be realtstic, but I want never to lose 1 84 7 W ndeay : ro. aly dil On. 4 12 0 shes i Ices 23 8 n bent ra E * ways oak hos 2 a = : say ety weed.

The POLITICAL MEETINGS AND CONFER- ENCES HELD EVERYWHERE An Undercurrent of Sentiment in Favor ot a Compromise—Trouble Anticipated Over the Educational Act-—Emperor William’s Speech to Be Delivered To- Day—Criticisms of His Course May 8e Denounced as Libels—Berlin News. BERLIN, Dec. 31.—All Germany is aroused over the contest in Parllamenton the army bill. Since the official organ announced that Chancellor Von Caprivi would concede noth- ing to the opponentsof the measure, and that if the Reichstag refused to grant the funds necessary to augment the army ef- fectively the Government would resort to the rigorous practice of three years service, the agitation throughout the country bas be- come aggravated. The Government’s men- ace is designed tothrill every family circle inthe Empire. The usage at present ob- served sends home the men serving their third year inthearmy six, and often seven, months before the expiration of their time. The threat to enforce the full period of ser- vice placés the Reichstaginan invidious po- sition. If it refuses to augment the effective strength of the army in return for a reduc- tlon in the service period the Government can place the responsibility for the unpopular measure on the hostile majority. This, as will be readily seen, is a skillful stroke of statesmanship or politics, on the part of Caprivi, and it has aroused the rage of the Clerical and Freisinnige parties, who, in the meantime, defy the menace held out by the Government and declare that nothing will modify their opposition to the bill. THE NATION AROUSED. The excitement that has been caused by the Ohancellor’s threat is seen in the un- wonted number af political meetings and political reunions held everywhere in the country. So deep is the interest in these gatherings that they present far more at- tractions to the citizens generaliythan the New Year festivities, which are consequently put in the background. Underneath the mutual deflances thereisa strong, though un- seen, current of desire to effect a compromise. Neither the Centrist nor the Freissinnige party desires a dissolution of the Keichstag. The Government’s bluster badly conceals of- ficial anxiety to get the bill accepted with any mociicatiocius, short of abandoning the leading points. At the last meeting of the Reichstag Committee of twenty-eight, which is considering the bill, the compromise mem- bers, who had theretofore been working se- cretly, openly showed their hands. Several Centrists, who were supposed to be impla- cably opposed to the measure, supported the suggestions made by the Conservative mem- bers, which pointed to an agreement. In of- ficial circles itis expected that the Govern- ment will score a triumph, and this expecta- tion does not falter, because it is based ona knowledge of inside facts. The Landtag will resume its sittings on Jan. 10. The Prussian Ministry having ven- tured to adopt the decree of Count Von Zed- litz-Trutzschier, formerly Minister of Public Instruction, making religious instruction at the schools obligatory, another flery educa- tional ght is inevitable. It was this decree that lea to Count Von Zedlitz-Trutzschler’s resignation. Dr. Von Besse, his successor, took office under the generel belief that tne decree had been canceled and would never more be heard of. It is understood that Em- peror Willlam influenced the ministers to try to revive the decree. The National Zeitung says that if Dr. Von Boase persists in the attempt to deprive parents of their privilege to regulate the re- u gious instruction of their children he will meet the fate of his predecessor and will be compelled toretire from office under a re- doubled load of contempt. The freisinnige Zeitung advises parents to send their chilagren to their religious exer- cises and to defy the decree, relying upon the tribunals of the law to pronounce the ob- jectionable order a violation of the consti- tution, which guarantees liberty of con- science. N THE KAISER’S SPEECH. The New Year speech which the Emperor will probably deliver to-morrow does not ex- cite anticipation as to what he will have to say. Itis generally believed that the grand official circle that will meet in the paiace to- morrow will hear his majesty allude to the attacks that have been recently made on the administration of the army, which attacks had their origin in the charges made by Rector Ahlwardt. The group of generals who will attend the reception willexpect to hear some soothing reference to the admirable condition of tlie troops. Ifthe Emperor should denounce the criticism of high oMiciais as unjustifiable libels, certain personages will be gratified. The Ahwardt charges which are now being disposed of, are as nothing compared with the accusations the Liberal press is ready to make if it only dared. The Emperor has been warned that there is a tendency current to attack the army administration, as is evi- denced in*to-day’s issue of the JV waerts, ‘the leading organ of the Socialists, and it is expected that he wilt give an explicit direction as to how newspapers presuming to assail all the repu- tions of high dignitaries shall be dealt with. Hismajesty is still sore over the Ahlwardt affair, and is intensely irritated because of the articles inthe Vorwaerts. It is reported that the prosecution of that newspaper is impending.

PINANCIAL MATTERS. The issue of the Austrian gold loan in Jan- vary will be followed by the issue of the Ger- man imperial loan in February. The con- current issue of the Bulgarian loan and the Berlin municipal loan causes the bourse op- erators to look forward toa good time. The Austrian and Hungarian fnance ministers helda conference yesterday with Baron Al- bert de Rothschild, Director Mauthnew of the Austrian Credit Bank and other fnan- clers composing the loan syndicate. It was decided to postpone the issue of the Hunga- rian gold loan and to proceed with the Aus- trian loan. The rate of interest on both loans was fixed at 4 per cent. Mr. Willlam Waiter Phelps, the American Minister here, gave a dinner last night in honor of Baron de Struve, Russian ex-Minis- ter to the United States. Jacob David, the Chicago embezzler who was arrested in Coblenz, has had an examin- ation before the court there. He will be ex- tradited as soon as the necessary formalities are complied with. Sergt.

YoreK, Dec. 81.—Reveredy Johnson Travers, son of the late W. R. Travers, ac- cording to his relatives was never married, yet twice during his lifetime two women claimed to be his wife. After his death in July last, another woman appeared and demanded her dower right in his estate, Valued at $200,099. The last claim- ant, who saysher name is Anna Frances Travers, brought 2. in the Supreme time ast Ao recover dower right. She claimed that she bad been married to Travers two years ago. The first claim- ant was Miss Sadie McNeill of No. 15 Cheever place, Brooklyn. She was really married to Travers on June 4, 1885. while the latter was sti] at college. 4 dl- vorce was afterward obtained. The a Mrs. Travers has since died. On Aug, 1890, a woman was thrown out ofa carriage on Eighth avenue, near seventietu street, and her skull was fmctured. Before she died she said that she was Mrs. Reverdy J. Travers. It was learnedat the inquest that she was a iss Minnie Davis. The present claimant is alleged to have lived with Trav- ers at his house, No 128 West Seventieth street, whichis the onlr piece of real estate that Travers possessed. As comparatively little dower could be obtained from this property the claimant has brought another suit through her counsel, Y. D. Dechert, to set aside Travers’ will. ‘This action 18 brought against the heirs to his estate. Travers executed his will Jan. 11, 1888. The following pecullar clause appeared in the will: I rive and deguesth to Terbert Satterlee the sum of $20,000, and I havein a etter to him to be opened by him as soon as possible ifter my death indicated the disposition I desire him to make of the said sum, but this isin no wise to cr¢ate a trust. Travers leftthe residue of his estate to Saterlee, who was his counsel, to dispose of according to the statutés of descent and dis- tribution. The claimant made a motion be. fore Judge Ingraham yesterday to have this sealed letter opened m court. Judgé in- graham held that the plaintiff should have a chance to inspect the letter in order to learn if Travers Was unduly Nfluenced when mak- ing his will. He er ranted the plaintiff’s mo- tion and ordered Lawyer Herbert L. saterlee to submit the sealed letter for inspection. TWO HUNDRED SULLIVANS. John L. Given a Big Banquet and an Ovation. New Tonk, Dec. 31. -The 200 Sullivans who saw John L.

Nihilists Responsible for the Ex- plosions in Paris. They Are Anxious to Disrupt the French Alliance With the Czar. * MOREY AND INFLUENCE IN &IGH QUARTERS AT THEIR COMMAND. The Royalists Said to Have Renewed Their Efforts to Put the Duke of Or- leans on the French Throne—No Fears Felt by the Government—The Commit- tee ct Safety—Italy Swinging Away From the Triple Allfanoce. Paris, Dec. 81.—The Nihilists of Paris have been waltingforan opportunity to avenge themselves on the French Government for its severity to Russian Reds in 1889 when it prosecuted and imprisoned several of them for making their bombs within the French border. They have money and influence in high quarters and dave there- fore such facilities for spreading destruc- tion as the Anarchists could never command. Fromthem the Anarchists cap procure gratis au the explosives and infernal machines desired as well as information how the campaign can be conducted most advan- tageously. Several Nihilists are belleved to have been Implicated inthe explosion of Thursday at the Prefecture of Police, but so far the poliee have been unable to lay hands on them. The Nibilists belleve that by over- throwing the present Government they win not only show their power, and thus warn other governments against interfering with them, but also will put an end to the alllance between the Czar andthe French nation. The Paris police have made an ef- fortto conceal the truth, while they work without success, by arresting a Boulangist agent. The object of this move is to bolster up the Cabinet. The police believe that by attaching the first odlumof the explosion to an anti-governme party they will strengthen, temporarily at least, the hands of Ribot, WANT A CLEAN SWEEP. The Anarchists will have nothing to do with suffrage. To vote is, according to them, to play the game of the middle class—which they hate more than all others. The artisan whocalls himself not ah anarchist, but a q revolutionist, will vote—but only for men who have never been in office of any kind. He wants a clean sweep and a new deal. He will not vote for his own leaders, for M. Calelinet, M. Vaillant and men of that stamp, whoare and have been office-holders, or not so tong as he hasa chance of electing anybody else. They are organizing on that basis all over Paris, The Committee of Public Safety’is to have dele- gates of sub-cémmittees in each of the eighty sections; so dre the artisan revolu: tionists, and it is yet to be seen how far they will differ. Their alleged objects are, how- ever, perfectly distinct. The Maison du Peuple lot organize street demonstrations, Their rivals organize to bring voters re the polis, Ihe loss of Russia's friendship will ia a Se- vere blow to France. While the northern power is swinging away from France, Italy will be slowly drifting away from the Triple Alliance. The latest development of this movement is the more friendly attitude of King Humbertand his cabinet toward the Vatican. In fact on Jan. 1 the goverument willhavea new newspaper organ devoted exclusively tothe cultivation of better rela- tions between the Catholic Church and the Roman State. The name of the newspaper wlll be Public Sentiment. PLOTTING FOR POWER. The Orlednists have by no means abandoned the hope of régaining the throne of France through a revulsion in Re- publican sentiment caused by the revela- tions in the Panama affair. What the pres- ent intentions of the Orleanists are it would be hard to say, but it is evident that some project. is contemplated that is in- tended to lead to the overturning of the Republic and the establishment of a monarchy. fhe Count of Paris has telegraphed to his son,the Dukeof Or. leans, whois now traveling in Indo-China, to hasten his return, m order that he may take part in the deliberations ofthe Orleans party. In English circles it is believed that there is no chance of the machinations of the French Royalists and Imperialists proving successful. It is thought that the French Government, by pursuing those implicated in the Panama scandal to punishment will establish the Republic on sounder foundations than before and willrender suchan evil as the Panama affair hereafter impossible. LABOR RIOT. * WORKINGMEN INVOLVED IN A CONFIACT WITH MADRID POLICE. MADRID, Dec. 81.—A serious labor riot oc- curred in this city to-day. While a gang of workingmen were marchingina body to the town hall to submit certain grievances to the Mayor, they became involved in a con- Niet withathe police. The latter made free use of their sabers, while stones and other missiles showered upon them from all sides. Many policemen and workitigmen were wounded before the mob was dispersed. Several arrests were made. Mr. E. Louden Snowden, the new United States Minister to Spain, has arrived here. To-day he called upon Senor Segasta, the Prime Minister. KEPT THE FIRE ALARM BUSY.

GAINESVILLE, Tex., Dec. 81.—Deputy Sheriff Howard of Montague County, who arrived in this city this morning, bri in the story of a most horrible crime in which two men assaulteda woman while two others held the woman’s husband. The victim was Josephine, the Il4-year-old wife of Clint Campbell, a farmer living four miles from Nocona, Montague Co. The names of the men who committed the revolt- ing crime are Dan and Joe Thompson, Wes Mason and Buck Beasley, all of whom are farmers and neighbors to Campbell. As runs the story, Campbell, his wife aud the four assailants drove into Nocona last Saturday morning to make some Christmas purchases. While in town the men became beastly drunk, and in thiscondition started on their way home about 2o’clock. As soon as they were out of town they compelled the woman, over the protests of her husband, to drink a balfa pint of whisky, when she’ be- came helplessly intoxicated. The wagon was stopped, Beasley and Dan Thompson took the man from the wagonand the other two men assaulted the woman in the wagon, They then dropped the woman beside the road and drove was found a Deputy Sheriff a hole of water. Every thread of her cloth ing had been wet and had frozen. She was insensible, and in this condition she was taken to Nocona, where she revived suf- ficiently .o tell the horrible story. The four men were arrested and given an examina. fion Tuesday, resulting in their bemg placed under bonds as follows: Joe Thompson $2,000, Dan Thompson $500, Beasley $1,500 and Mason $3,500. Dan Thompson and Beas- ley gave bond and the others, falling, were lodged in jailat Montague. Mason is a mar- ried man with two children. The others are young and unmarried. Mrs. Campbell is still in a precarious condition. FIXED UP NICE, reclining in A Verdant Youth Made the Victim of a Barber’s Extortion. Paris, Tex., Dec. 81.— This morninga young man from the Indian Territory and unused to the ways ofthe world went into the Hotel Peterson barber shop and asked fora shave and haircut. The barber asked if he did not want to be fixed up nice and de said ‘‘Yes.’’ His eyebrows were vainteda beautiful black, and his hair was eft a beautiful Scandinavian blonde. The barber only charged him $5.75 for transform- ing him into this monstrosity. He kicked, but with fierce looks the barber made him pay up. The young man then went to City Marshal Shanklin. There was no ordinance against such extortion, but as there had been num- erous complaints a bout the methods of these artists Shanklin coneluded to try the coer. cion business himself, and went to the shop and made the barber disgorge, andaiso made him agree to quit business and leave town, Tbe shop has been carrying on a systematic course of robbery, and many . complaints have been made, but there was no ordinance to prevent it. Shanklin’s course is highly recommended, and it is believed the Coun- - will pass an ordinance regulating barbers’ ees, GENERAL FAMILY FIGHT, An Infuriated Negro Wields an Ax With Dieastrous Results.

Dy accepting the resignation the city would lose nothing, as it would make no difference as to the liability of the vondsmen. Mr. Sloan: 1 want to ask you question. Which do you think is the wisest course for the Council to pursue, ac- cept the resignation or remove Mr. Foerstel?’’ ounsellor Marshall replied smiling, in the midst of the first laughter of the session, In my judgment it is a mere matter of policy. Ihe rights of the city wilt not be affected one way or the other. Butit will not profit the city to go further into the investigation, as everything is admitted that has been charged. It is merely a question whether the Council deems it wiseto accept the resignation and fill the vacancy, or re- move and impose upon the city the cost of a special clection.’’ Mr. Sloan: Lou haven't answered. my question so far as the cost is concerned, | think the city had better pay aud remove Mr. Foerstel. ATILACKING MR. SLOAN. Mr. Anderson: it seems to methat Mr. Sloan is taking a very pecullar position in this matter. All his talk about commercial defaulters is good for nothing.

George W. Vanderbilt’s Donation to the World of Art. HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR EXHIBI- TION HALL A NEW YEAR’S PRESENT. American Society of Fine Arts the Re- cipients of His Splendid Offering—A Famous Paris Building Reproduced— Named After the Munificent Donor— Description ofthe Structure. New Tonx, Dec. 81.—George W. Vander- Dilt yesterday made the American Fine Arts Society a New Year’s gift of his private ex- hibition gallery, which he recently bullt on West Fifty-eighth street in the rear of the so- clety’s new building on West Fifty-seventh street. The gift is valued at $100,000. That is what it cost to purchase the ground and erectthe puilding. Mr. Vanderbilt per- sonally brought the deed to the soclety’s bullding at 8:30 p. m. yesterday, and a meet ing of the Board of Trustees was called at 4 toactupon it. At this meeting resolutions were passed accepting the gift and naming it the Geo. W. Vanderbilt Gallery. The gallery has just been completed and was formally opened to the public on Dec, 3, at the time of the opening of the new Fine Arts Bullding. It is probably the finest gallery of its kind in the country. It has a frontage of seventy- five feet on Fifty-eighth street and a depth of fifty-seven feet. It is a two-story bullding, with entrances on Fifth-eighth street and a private entrance into the Fine Art Building. The lower floor is devoted to a handsome supper-room, which also can be used by the modeling classes of the Art Stu- dents’ League, under the instruction of Augustus St. Gaudens. The facade is of light brick and terra cotta and the design is Ital- lan renaissance, It has two handsome entrances, one for the public and the other for the reception of pictures, The gal- lery itself is a practical reproduction of the Georges Petit gallery on Rue de Seze in Paris, just off the Boulevard de la Madelelone. When Mr. Vanderbilt conceived the idea he determined to take the Georges Petit gallery for a model, that bullding being considered by French and Americanartists the most perfect of its kind in existence. Mr. Vanderbilt hagreproduced it as nearly as the dimensions ofthe land allow. The area ot the floor space, the dimensions of the sky- light, the height of the ceiling and the curya- ture of the cone correspond with the meas- urements of the Petit gallery. Henry J. Hordenbergh was the architect and with him were associated Walter C0. Hunting and John O. Jacobsen. Thesame architects designed the new fine arts building, The idea of erecting this building came to Mr. Vanderbilt when it was proposed to hola a loan exhibition in Madison Square Garden, which project was abandoned on aceount of the great cost of rearranging the private gallery where loan exhibitions could be held from time to time, but he carefully concealea his intentions of presenting it tothe Fine Arte Society, The Fine Arts Society purchased the land on which its new building is located on May 8, 1890, Mr. Vanderbilt was unable to get the land adjoining until July 13, 1891. As the gallery neared completion Mr. Vander- bilt suggested connecting the two buildings by large folding doors between the main = of the Fine Arts Society and hall of his allery. 9 thou would be advantageous whenever hi were given, as the two tbh — 75 one. ow he a where p will cate for him, mentofitsdebt. The gift comes just in time oor the loan exhibition which has been ar- ed for February and March. President r says it Will be the finest exhibition — given in New York, the chief attraction being centered in the Vanderbilt gallery in honor to the donor. The Architectural League of New York {s allied with the Society of Fine Arts and joined with it in the conStruction of the new building. The architects will give their eighth annual exhibition in the bullding next week in honor ofthe event. They held their baaquet last night. It was to have taken place in the large hall of the main aer. but after the fact of Mr. Van- derbilt’s gift had become known the tables were transferred at the last momentto the hall of the Vanderbilt gallery, where Presi- dent Butler officialiy announced the gift. George W. Vanderbilt is the youngest son of the late Wiiliam H. Vanderbilt. He is only | 80 years old and has spent his time during the last ten years chiefly in artistic and literary research, White he does not promise to bring much famete the family through fol- lowing the paths of business so successfully trod by his forefathers and brothers, he is regarded with much vor by his brothers and sisters as being the only literary and scholarly inclined member of the family, He cares little for society. Onthe death of his father George W. Vanderbilt fell heir to $20,- 000,000. He does not live up to his income, and is now worth over $25,000,000, This is invested in rallroad stocks and government sectrities and nets him an annua) income of at least $1.000,000. It is said that he spends less than $25,000 a year on himself. He is the heir of the old homestead op Fifth avenue With its thousands of art treasures in paintings, statuary, tapestries and furniture, all of which is valued at $4,900,000, Mr. Vanderbilt re- turned only a few days ago from Japan, where he spent a couple of months. He brought home a large coliection of valuabie curlos, Mr. Vanderbilt is still a bachelor and is said to have a horror of mothers with mar- riagable daughters. In dress he is directiy the reverse of ostentatious and wears little or no jewelry. He never would attract at- tention in a crowd and has carefulty con- tracted a habit of making himself as incon- Spicuous as possible. TRIED TO KILL HEE CHILD. A Revolting Crime Attempted at the Eethesia Home. . Mary Lewis, a 19-year-old black girl, who, since last May has been a servant at the Bethesda Home, 1708 South Twelfth street, was yesterday charged with a revolting by Dr. C. W. Saunders, the phy- Sicilian in charge of the institution. A warrant was sworn out and she will to-day be removed to the City Hospital to await trial for N to stab the life out of her newly born chi The girl wastaken inat the Bethesda Home out of charity last May; she is acripple, having had both legs amputated at the knees. When she was a little girlof 7 years ofage her feet were badly frost-bitten and lack of attention made amputation necessary. She moves about with great difficulty on her Knees, and being unable to earn a living she was some years taken to the Poor-house. The case came to the attention ofthe managers of the home, and though she was unable to perform much work they decided to take herasa servant. Mary gotalong quite wellat her new home until she was taken sick about three weeksago. Shedid not complain and it was a great surprise when the night nurse at the home iscovered om the night of Dec. 11 that she had given’ birth to a child in her little hall room on the third floor of the building. The Bethesda Hpme is full of babies, that is there are about thirty there, anda majority ofthem are crying at all times. But the nurses know their voices and the night nurse was nonplused when she hearda faint and unfamiliar wall that came from upstairs, She instituted a search and found the weeping babe in bed with Mary. But the nurse’s sirprises were not at ad end. The poor little infant was bieeding from wounds of the head and shouijder and on the bed were & pair of scissors with which the eruel injur- ies had been inflicted. A physician was called and the child with tender nursin survived. Nothing was said to the gir until two days ago,when Dr. Saunders ac- cused her of having attempted to murder . — infant. This she stoutly denied; but on circumstantial evidence at hand the warrant was sworn out. While still denying the as- sault, the unfortunate cripple is quite trank in laying the Diame tor her shame upon an attache of the Poor-house.She gives his name and. says he is employed as a gereral utility man about the Poor-house, and frequently drives the Matron’s buggy.

T., by Bishop McQuaid—The Story of the Suspension and the Mob Violencs Which Resulted From It-What the Pope’s Representative Says. Rocursrzn, N. T., Dec. Bi. -M gr. Satolll) was at the Catholic Untversity to-day when | the correspondent called and affirmed. the report that he had reinstated Fr. O' Flaherty of Auburn, who was suspended from the priesthood by ~° Bishop McQuaid twenty-four years ago. His action was brought about, he sald, through cor- respondence between Bishop McQuaid, the Geposed priest and himself. Mgr. Satolli said that no formal decision hed been prepared or rendered and when a man had been forgiven for a sin a lengthy decision was unnecessary. „Father O’Fiaherty’’ he said, has just been absolved from ex-- communication. This reinstates bim tothe full privileges which he enjoyed before the sentence, and restores him the right to say mass. The reporter called on Bishop McQuaid in the Episcopal residence, No, 10 Frank street, and hesaid: I have nothing to say for pub- lication,’’ When asked if Fr. O’Flaherty would be al- lowed to return to the Diocese of Rochester, the Bishop replied: have a to say. ee The story of Father Sn suspen- sion dates back to the initial days of Bishop McQuaida’s episcopate, The Bishop was consecrated July 12, 1868, and upon entering upon his duties found the Rev. Thomas O'Flaherty, pastor of the Church of the Holy Family at Auburn, to which he had been ap- pointed four years before by | Bishop} Temon of Buffalo, whose diocese extended over the territory now comprised in the Dio- cese of Rochester. The Church ofthe Holy Family was in a bad condition, and the congregation was at odds with the pastor. In Aug., 1868, the Bishop divided the parish and made part of it into St: Mary's. Matters went no bet- ter and in February, 1869, the Bishop transferred Fr. O'Flaherty to. Penn Yan and appointed the Rev, M. Kavanaugh of Seneca Falls, pastor of the Holy Family. Father O' laherty —— that he never received the eg letter. In any event 85 he Bishop went to Auburn he was greeted by a mob, On Sunday morning,when he went to Holy Irinity with Fr. Kavanaugh, he found the church oecupied by Fr. O’ Flan- erty sympathizers, who refused to allow. rr. Kavanaugh to say mass. The persisted in their refusal and the Bisho the church after announcing O’Flaherty’s suspension from priestly — ultles. On Sunday, Feb. 28 he Bishop again went Holy Familiy. This time he was accompanied by a lawyer, William Parcell,and W. W. Usgood, a stenographer. Fr. O'Flaherty was present, and declined toretire when the Bishop ordered him to, saying: ‘‘lam as good a Man as you. During @repitition of the troubte of the revious Sunday the Bishop withdrew to St. lary’s where he preached a sermonon the trtuble at Holy Family. After detall- ing certain financidl irregularities the Bishop continued: **l have not been able to obtain the items of these various charges. Finding that Fr. O'Flaherty would not give them to me I deemed it my dut to ro- move him from his Sate. And then [ supposed that the — or hooks of thechurch would come into my possession and I would be able to understand what items had made up these various charges and how it was thatthis large, numerous, able congrega- tion was ungble to meet current expenses. Have I cause, havel right, have I justice on my side in effecting a change in the pastorship of the Church of the Holy Trinity when its pastor is unable to meet ts current expenses. But there are reasons weightler lar than any I have given you which Rev. Thomas O’ Flaherty can hear whenever he chooses to come before the council of the diocese of iochester, his brother priests then and there to stand. trial for graver offenses than these; now my friends do not suppose l exercised my power as bishop without long and severe thought withoat feeling 1 hada duty to ful- nll to my God and to the people interested in my charge.’ Ihe bishop then detailed the eirèumstances of bis writing a letter tor. O' Fiaherty trans- ferring to tho parish at Penn Yan and the assertion of rr. 0’ Flaherty that he never received the letter. The Bishop continued, until Satérday evening we had consoling hope that a priest who seemed to be forgetting his duty would return to his senses, obey his bishop and not compel mé to suspend, but on Saturday evening I received information by telegraph ofthe danger of a collision on Sunday morning. My answer was that I should be here on the 6:45 train of that eveninbg. And I came to your city not of much consequence per- haps myself, but stillyour Bishop. You have heard of the reception tendered me on that night at 10:30 o'clock.

LOCKED IN AN ICE CHEST, How Butchers at Union Market Treated a Negro Thief. Several butchers at the Union Market went to their homes last night, half expecting that before morning they would be roused from their slumbers and summarily dragged off to a prison cell to answer a charge of murder. Many were the anxious counsels they held together before leaving their stalls after the day’s business was over, and each one, W that the blow would fall upon him, dily exchanged assurances with his fellow that he would stand by him through thick and thin. It is more than probable that in their dreams they were haunted by ghastly visions of a dreaded noose and gallows tree. About 10:30 o’clock yesterday morning A. Gronemeyer, a butcher who occuptes a stall onthe South Side of the market, observed a negro emerge from the rear of his ice chest, carrying an overcoat, which had been stolen from the rear of the stall. With a cry of Stop thief’’ he gave chase, and with the assistance of several of the other butchers soon captured the would-be robber. A policeman was sent for, andinthe meantime the thief era locked up in anice chest for safe Keep- ng. For the past week or so several little articles, including some overcoats, have been inissed from dffferent stalls, and the captive of yesterday was immediatelx credited with all the thefts that have occurred. In the interval before the arrival of the om cer the prisoner was taken from the ice chest every few moments and warmed 8 by each victim of his past depredations in style truly Sullivanesque, and, as a cones- quence, he presented a much pattered * pearance when he was Onally nanded over to Officer Langen. He was locked up, but sub- sequently released, as no complaint was made against him. At the station he gave his name as Charles Hicks. Elated over their capture the butchers ex- changed a good deal of good natured bad- nis with the officers upon their res gue in running down thieves. 4 oven the officers later in the day sprea report that Hicks had died from the effects of the beating the butchers had given him.

He walked up tothe Thirty-third Street Station of the Sixth avenue elevated road at 6 o’clock last night, accompanied by a smooth faced and neatly dressed man about 28 years old. Policeman Callahan of the Tenderloin precinct met him, and the Chicago man sur- prised him by demanding the arrest of the young man with him. Take him in, he said. ‘‘He is a thief. Callahan took the young man around to the Thirtieth Street Station. The prisoner was perfectly cool. Capt. O’Conner was in the station and the Chicago man entertained him with an extraordinary story of adven- ture.

Recent events in France indicate that the chief trouble with the French nation and one that keeps it distracted with con- spiracies and fears of a revolutionary leader is its lack of a sense of humor. Any nation which can accept the duello as it exists in France asa serious part of its national life and view with admiring composure meetings on the field of honor which would lend gaiety to the burlesque stage is a fit victim of stratagems and pilots. Any people which can greet as heroes and stomach as leaders men who arrange deadly encounters ona perfectly safe basis and wipe out stains of dishonor with morning dew isan easy prey to the political mountebank. , When the Clemenceaus, Derouledes and other French publicists can vindicate themselves from charges of lying and pose as brave and heroic men by making their wille, kissing their male amd female friends, distributing their: remnants of hair and going into immortal. ‘combat, in which nothing is injured except the sur- rounding fences and the nerves of by- standers, there is a chance of & successfu! stroke for any theatric adventurer with 1 liberal supply of audacity and mock her ism.

The acceptance of the resignation of Treasurer Foerstel by the Council last night is public notice that any crime may be committedin any office of trust and honor in this city and the official responsi- ble for it may avoid the consequences of his misconduct and be given the equiva- lent of a certificate of faithful service from the administration. Only two Councilmen, Messrs. Sloan and Cullinane, voted against the accept- ance, and ten, President Walbridge and Messrs. W. M. Horton, Nelson Cole, M. M. Flesh, Andrew Hoolan, John C. Ben- siek, Wm. T. Anderson, Albert Arnstein, Charles E. Wehner and E. F. W. Meier, were the willing victims of Judge Lubke’s sharp practice in behalf of Foerstel and placed themselves on record as indorsers of an official wrong-doer. The fact that nearly all of the Councilmen in this list who pose as models of respec- tadility are eager seekers for higher official honors and are anxious for the favor of Foerstel’s hoodlum friends accounts probably for the remarkable combination of the Puritans and the ‘‘push’’ in behalf of official felony and inefficiency. What effect the acceptance of Foerstel’s resignation may have upon further pro- ceedings, criminalor civil, against him and what effect it will have upon his lia- bility should his bondsmen defeat the suit against them is a matter for legal deter- mination. It makes little difference what the effect upon further proceedings against Foerstel or any other official is, as none are likely to be instituted. As the situation now stands the treasury has been robbed of $64,000. Whether the Treasurer participated in the crime is not known, but there is the strongest evi- dence that he knew of it and consented to its concealment. No steps have been taken to prosecute him. No steps have been taken to recover on his bond. It is known that an attempt was madeto burn the City Hall for the purpose of destroying the evidence of the robbery. No steps have been taken to discover whether the Treasurer had any part in that crime or who wasimplicated in it. It is known that the Treasury defalcation was made possible through the violation of law and the neglect of duty by supervising offi- cials. Nosteps have been taken to punish them for their misconduct. On the other hand Councilmen to whom citizens havea right to look for the support of law and decency, consent to the condonement of wrong-doing and the promotion of crime and inefficiency. We present the facts to the considera- tion of the people of St. Louis. Is it any wonder that unspeakable rottenness per- meates their municipal government? — — — LOOKING FORWARD. A retrospect and a prospect are usually indulged at the end of the old year and the beginning of the new, which is the moment fixed by the calendar makers for paralyzing regrets and unfruitful dreams and for the birth of a hope here and there which shall unfold through action into fact. The first day of 1893 is certainly not bur- dened with many regrets, for on the whole the civilized world has good reason to be satisfied with the progress it has made during the year just ended, and in this country at least many clanking errors have been scotched if not killed outright. Prog- ress consists in the discovery of error rather than in the acquisition of truth, which isan elusive thing and does not always rise obedient to the magical formulas of enthusiasts and reformers. But next to finding the one true way the best thing is to discover the wrong one, and we have reason to think that 1892 has been rich in discoy- eries of that sort. We have learned many things preparatory to doing many things. Life is larger because thought has widened, and the individual is more vigor- ous because his spirit is freer from the restrictions which have ee him up or held him back. 55 All this raises Hopes many of which, perhaps most, are to endin disappoint- ment for those who entertained them, but it is a consolatory fact. that much has been won in the pastand the world cannot go The individual may not see 3 h. 10 U 5 is to share in the universal prog- to which he contributes whenever he ua new idea to disturb his composure his rest, but it is certain that ee A Ce 2 * 8 b ; @ little more freedom is per- i without the loss of respectability or Wanding. ; aa he prospect is a pleasing one for all lovers of progress. The year opens full of promise for a beginning at least of much real and good work in social and political reforms and the conditions justify the be- lief that much will be accomplished. 6 As Dr. Brieas has been acquitted, did the jury agree with him that Moses is not the author of the Pentateuch;“ that Isaiah is not the author of half the book that bears his name; that sanctification is not complete at death; that errors may have existed in the original text of the Holy Scripture; that the Church is a foundation of divine authority which, apart from the Holy Scripture, may and does savingly enlighten men; that the reason is a fountain of divine authority which may and does savingly enlighten men—even such men as reject the Scrip- tures as the authoritative proclamation of the willof God? Or did the jury merely wish to show that the Presbyterian Church could view with leniency the advanced opinions of one of its great and good men? - — — — THERE Is terror in the chicken-coops, but let, no urban breeder of poultry de dis- couraged or imagine that the Afro-American is making no progress. To be sure, the urban breeder loses his ,fowls, but they are not lost te mankind. Many of them are sold in the market, greatly to the benefit of con- sumers, and are eaten by the best people in the city. The chicken-raiser of the city is as necessary as his rural contemporary, and we should be unhappy were either away. There is now and then a fowl producer in town who, on surveying hisempty coop, exclaims In his haste that he’ll be dad-gasted if he ever raises any more chickens, but thisis only a passing emotion.

PoTTeR PALMER having indignantly protested against the publication of her por- trait on a beer calendar, the Chicago Times says: It a man can’t print a portrait ona calendar without permisslon of the original can a newspaper print a portrait without like permission? And if not, brethren, whither are we drifting?’’ The apprehen- sions of the Times are groundless. The ladies willnever objecttothe appearance of their pretty facesinthe newspapers. The news- paper is as much an appurtenance of the home as the album. The beer calendar sug- gests the bar- room and its associations. The newspaper suggests the busy world and the intellectual life. It is surprising that the Times should place even the Chicago news- pa per on a par with the beer calendar.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. If Mr. Carnegie really regrets the odium that attaches to his name among working people, and really desires to become known as that which he professes to be—the anointed apostle of the Gospel of Wealth— he could become the Prince Bountiful to his own workmen and the honored of all men by waiving all questions as to the rights and wrongs of the Homestead trouble and reliev- ing the bitter distress of his former work- men. If the workmen were in the right it would be an act of justice. If they were in the wrong it is a rare opportunity for mag- nanimous forgivenesss, Mr. Carnegle’s Gos- pel of Wealth, as he professes it, is close akin to that other gospel of peace and love proclaimed on Christmas Day some centuries ago. A check for the Homestead sufferers who fought and lost would do more for Mr. Carnegie’s fame as a philanthropist than all his free libraries, 9 What Is Injuring Labor. From the Indianapolis Sentinel. The flint glass bottle manufacturers say that they have not shut down from any fear of a reduction ot the tariff, but because of overproduction. On the contrary, ‘‘as to the tariff on flint bottles, we would not find fault with its entire removal. We are in no wise affected by it one way or another. We make bottles for less than they can be freighted to this country from abroad, leav- ing out the cost of foreign production. If we nad free raw material we could send bottles across the water and take the markets of the world,’’ Wnat is injuring labor in this case is protection of American workingmen.’ The West Has Assumed Control.

The force of divers has been blasting on both sides of the pier, both under waterand on shore. They have been using the greatest precautions be- cause it is almost certain death for a blast to gooffeither under water or on shore in the neighborhood of a submerged diver. A few months ago one of the divers of small ex- perience persisted in descending just before they touched off a lLght charge at the shore end of the pier. He was puiled to the surface almost un- conscious, with his face bleeding from the pressure of the iron of his helmet and with the breath knocked out of his body. Fair- child made a descent yesterday morn- ing early, put in the charge of nitro-glycerine cartridges, ascended and waited until the explosion took place. At 9:12 o’clock he fixed his diving suit again and, taking a pall containing eight cartridges, descended to drive them into the holes that had been armed for them last week. After he had been gone a moment or two John Leary, another diver, who was holding the signal line that connected Fairchild with the surface, heard a slight sound as of a stone dropping oy the far end of the pier. There was no agitation of the water near the signal line andthe alr tubes, but Leary, thinking this noise might have come from beneath the surface, sig- nalled to Fairchild, but got no answer. He Signalied again and as there was still no answer he ordered ihe men to pull Fairchild up. When his body clad in the huge suit appeared above the crush of ice it was seen to belimp. They un- backlied his helmet and saw just underneath his chin a Small gush. His head hung limp and his heart, so far as the men could tell, was not beating.

Inafew minutes they brought up the pall and wooden rammer. in the pail were four of the six cartridges. unexploded, It must have been that Fairchild drove in one cartridge and exploded the other accidentally as he was stooping over ramming itin.

Shaw receiving a majority of the votes cast was duly declared elected. Dr. W. J. Langen was elected Vice-Presi- dent and then Dr. McIntyre made a motion, which was duly seconded, that Dr. Garland Hurt be unanimously nominated for re-elec- tion as Treasurerand that the Secretary be authorized to castthe vote of the society. There seemed to be no objection to thus facilitate the tedious process of balloting un- til Dr. Beggs distinguished himself by ob- jecting. The result ofthe ballot was that Dr. Hurt was re-elected. There were three ballots taken before a 8 Secretary was elected, and then Dr. J. James was chosen, his chief opponent 12 Dr. George Cale. For the position of Corresponding Secretary, Dr. A. H. Born was elected on the first ballot, Dr. A. F. Bock then exhibited a patient who was suffering with an abdominal tumor, and a discussion followed as to its exact character.

ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE. THE COMING CONTEST FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP WILL BE A SHARP ONE. LITTLE Rock, Ark., Dec. 81.—About twenty- five members of the Lower House of the Leg- islature which meets Jan. 9, are in the city —— securing quarters for the three months, the | length of time the session will be held. The Speakership contest is now on in earnest, the | race being narrowed down to C. E. of Hempstead, and John F. Sellers of Perry. Bridewell | Both are good parliamentarians and no fight | is being made against either on the ground of his unfitness for the position. members from this county will vote for Bridewell, although Perry County adjoins this county and is in the same Senatorial district. The only argument used against The four Sellers is that in 1868 he was a member of Clayton’s Militia. At that time Sellers was a mere boy and joined a company of militia in Perry County for the excitement that was init. He is a thorough Democrat and Always voted and worked for the success of the party. His little indiscretion on his part should not friends contend that this. operate against him; that the Democracy of | Arkansas elected Fishback, a Union man, Governor of Arkansas,’ which was equiva- lent to a declaration to the world that the | Democrats of this State had awakened tothe realization thatthe war Is over. noyed over this phase of the contest. belleve that Sellers’ electlon to the speaker- ship would give additional weight to the an- nouncement made during the guber- natorial campaign that the Arkansas Democracy had ceased making polit- ical fights upon sectional At present it is the general belief that after the first ballot South and tiutton will withdraw, in which event South’s forces will go to Sel- | — and Hutton’s friends will vote for Bride wel! and Sellers’ strength is about equal. No one knows how many voters either South or Hut- ton will get, but whichever gets the highest number of votes will settle the Speakership. This Oguring may be changed before the Legislature meets, but that is the situation at present, and it is so openly acknowledged ~4 the shrewdest political workers now en- gage ed in forecasting the result of the speak- ership contest.

Hefurthersays: ‘‘l was in- formed that the deceased, the day before his death, ate some spoiled pickled beets whieh had been thrown out on a pile of filth and manure in the northwest corner of the yard, but the patient himself said he only ate one mouthfal.

I have not thought that it has had anything to do with the cases thus far. From informa- tion obtained from convicts and guards I learned that at Helena the slops were emptied near, and in some instances, into a pool from which some of the drinking water was obtained, but the principal sup- ply was obtained froma running brook near by, and that this branch flowed through the city of Helena and its principal sewer. If it should be established that arsenic was nota factor in the outbreak of the disease in the campthe above facts arealone sufficient to account for the trouble there.“ A telegram was received to-night by Gov.

Apperson, one of the lessees of the peniten- tiaryand Calvin Pemberton. warden of the prison, on the charge of violating the sanitary ordinances of the city, the arrests being made at the instance of Mayor Fleteher. The defendants appeared beforethe police court at 8 o’clock this afternoo and all the cases, with the exception of one against Apperson, was continued until Mon- day. Apperson was fined §25 for conducting slaughter -house within the city limits. Physicians here who have investigated the cause of thedeaths of the fourteen convicts say itis duetocholeraic diarrhea. A letter was received to-day from the Penitentiary physician, Dr. J.J. Robertson, who went to St. Loulg on Wednesday with the viscera of two victims of the epidemicto be analyzed. Hie says that he engaged Dr, Charles O. Curt- man to make the test, which is now in prog- ress. Dr. Robertson ‘says that Dr. Curtm — recommends that a test for the com bacilli, the cholera gy be made as he is of the opinion that the disease is more in that line thanof arsenical poisoning. The theory that aisenic was placed in the food supplied the convicts at Helena is now ridi- culed by every physician inthis city. This mornining, when the prison authorities at- tempted to remove the dump pile in the n · iteritiary inclosure, they were forbidden from ats so by the Bard ot Health.

A Powerful Syndicate Endeavoring to Secure the St. Louis Lines. PRESIDENT-ELECT CLEVELAND, DAN LAMONT AND WHITNEY IN IT. — Only a Questien of Time Local Roads Are Oontr@iled by the .Eastern Capitalists — Men Now Own Lines in New York, Birmingham and Eleewhere—The Mysterious Trac- tion Company in Which Mr. Seullin Is Interested. ntfil All the The first confirmation of the general ru- mors of a movement being afoot for the con- solidation of the street railroad interests of St. Louis was obtained by the Post-Disratca the People’s Rallway, or Fourth street cable, as it is com- moniy callea, Mr. Green was asked yesterday while on the corner of Fourth and Pine streets what there was in the claims that a consolidation was being attempted. „It looks very much as if such is the case, was the startling answer. ‘‘Asis already known, Scullin and Campbell have gotten together and Merged their lines into one.“ „What syndicate is behind Mr. Scullin in this deal?’’ »The same parties who have been buying upthe railroads in Birmingham and else- where—Lee, Higginson & Co. of Boston, Dan Lamshont, Whftney, Grover Clevela and others. They have the Twenty-third"Street roadin New York, and soon will have, if they Mave not already, the Broadway cable line in that eity.““ The consolidation stories are dénied here, however, by the railroad people?“ „That may be, but most of the stock in some of the lines—the Suburban road, for instance—is held out of the city, and the whole thing might be done without the local managers knowing anything of it. Do you really think this syndicate wants to get the St. Louis roads?“ do,“ replied Mr. Green, and they will get them, too. It is only a matter of time. Have any overtures been made to you?“ Mr. Green’s answer, while not direct, led to the bélief that he had been approached on the*subject, and that his road he smilingly added, would not go in without his knowing something about it. THE SYNDICATE. Dan Lamont, Grover Cleveland's former private secretary, who is mentioned by Mr. Green, has been working untiringly in New Tork and the South securing street railways, and is known to have a powerful syndicate at bis back. He has consolidated several of the New York railroads and carried through some big deais in the South. Whitney and the President-elect are perhaps only acting as Silent partners and legal and financial advisers, Whitney, however, 1s a man of great wealth and à recognized — er in the financial world, As to Lee, Higginson & Oo. they are one of the largest banking firms in the country and they have handled a great deal of St. Louis stocks, and with in- variable profit to themselves. It is an estab- lished fact that most of the stock of the Suburban Road is in the hands of a syndicate represented by that firm, andit is also well understood that they usually apply their holding to the very best advantage. Any general consolidation and transfer system would tend, it is belleved, to 1 the conditions here rather than otherwise THE MYSTERIOUS TRACTION COMPANY. The local evidencés of a consolidating tend- ency are many, and when gathered together, form a very formidable array of arguments. To begin with the St. Louis Traction Co. has been incorporated with a nominal "capital. The company 1s organise? for the » purpose of conducting the business trans- porting passengers means of the various modes of street railroad traffic. This traction company is ultimately intended to be the sponge which will absorb all the lines necessary to a big co-operative system of roads here. Mr. John Scullin, already conspicuous in the traction company as an officer, had un amendment passed in the Municipal Assem- bry permitting him to issue transfer tickets over the Benton & Bellefontaine road from the Union Depot lines as soon as the Unigqn De- pot company shall have gained control of the said Benton & Bellefontaine Line. This con- trol has already been gained, and tbe rest is but a matter of time. As has already been stated in the Posr- DISPATCH, there are many who believed that the consolidation was afoot. Delegate Cro- nin, Chairman of the House Committee on Raliroads, is of that opinion, and ‘‘de push’’ generally ‘knows, Another interested party, who would not permit his name to be used, dent of sai “The railroad people are coating around to see what can be done, of that I have no doubt, and in proof of it I can say that I had intended to dispose of certain holdings which will not let goof just yet, under the X. of the President of ono of the roads said to be in tue scheme. I merely tell you this to show what confidence I have in the thing Bits being a go and also what faith I have tn its being a good thing for all parties concerned.’ The rr who made this statement has had dis dealings with the roads mostly through „ Higginson & Co.

New YorK, Dec. 81.—To-day among the wedding notices was one stating that on Nov. 12, 1892, at Trinity Church, this city, Robina Helen, widow of the late Frederick Wilton and daughter of Capt. Flavin, was mar- ried to John Jarvis, only son of the late Rear-Admiral John Jervis, R. N. Inquiry showed that the bridegroom was a Lieuten- ant in the English Navy, and is the son of the well-Known English officer, whose father was the late Viscount of St. Vincent. For some time Ileut. Jervis hag been em- ployed by James A. Welsh & Co. of 116 Wall street and das lived at the Eastern Hotel, No. 64, White Hall street. Here he met his bride, who was a waitress in the hotel. Mrs. Jervis was a widow and daughter of an English naval officer. Just why the children of such prominent peo- ple should have reached stich straightened circumstances is hard to explain, as neither of the newly married couple will say anything for publication. Lieut. Jervis said the only reason why the marriage notice was delayed so long was because ha desired to have the wedding registered at the begin- ning of the new year, The witnesses to the ceremony were acquaintances mace by Mr. Jervis during his stay at the ote jhe Jervis family became well known through the Admiral Sir John Jervis, the celebrated naval commander, who, in 1797, obtained a splendid victory over the Spanish fleet at Cape st.

HILLsBoro, III., Dec. 31.—A case of the Enoch Arden character with a tragic ending occurred at Benton. Six years ago Tilman Andrews left his wife and family and disappeared, His wife supposed he was dead, and so again got married. A few days since Andrews returned, and the first his wife knew of his coming back was when she saw him in the house talking to her baby. He seemed to de in much mental distress and quietly told her that two detectives were following him. It was an open question with the wife of two men what to do with the case. An- drews did not raise any disturbance and when husband No. z came home it was decided to let Andrews remain at the house over night, About 2 o’clotk the next morning, the family state, they were awakened hy the report ofa wun, ‘and going to Andrews’ bed- room they found him lying across the foot of the bed with the top of his head blown of and the gun lying on the floor.

Walle discoveries have been more numerous than the au- thenticated portraits of Columbus, Mr. Saunders is „ in his belief. Ihe police ppoh- pooh the There is little credence attached to either of these reports by people interested in the search for Sneil’s murderer, Chigago police have quiet keeping record ofthe times Tascott has been discovered, for although the report of his capture has been made many times, the suspect has always turned out to be some one else. The story of Millionaire Snell’s murder has been told many times. He was killed on the night of Feb. 7, 1888, at his residence, 425 Washine- ton boulevard, Chicago. He was shot by men who broke into the house and robbea it, The burglars made a raid during the night on’sevVeral houses in the neighborhood, the tracks in the snow showing that they went from one back yard to another. Upon reach- ing Mr. Snell’s they bored sixteen or seven - teen auger holes through the kitchen door and finally effectedan entrance. From the kitchen they proceeded to the office, which was in the front ofthe house. Here, it ap- ars, there was nothing of any value to hem to be found. Thesafe and desks were filled with papers,and after ransacking these they proceeded up the stairs to the parlor floor, The door at the head of the basement stairs was skillfully forced andthe men were in the front parior, when itis supposed that Mr. Snell, who sleeps directly above this room, heard them. He left his bed room, and taking a revoiver went down the front stairs. The folding doors leading into the parlor were shut, but itis supposed thathe heard the noise in the room for he fireda shot through tne door. The burglars opened the door and returned the fire striking the wood- work and rebounding, hit Mr. Snell inche breast, who then ran back toward the rear of the hall. The burglars must have followed him and shot again, asthe wounded man was found at the head of the basement stairs with a bullet-hole behind the ear. The story of the identification of Willie Tas cott as one of the men who killed Mr, Snell is a story by itself, and shows how the knowl- edge of crime haunts its possessor. The most important euldence against Tascott was furnished to the police bya young woman knownas Jennie Clifford, Uving at No. 50 Curtis street, and with whom Tascott was in- fatuated. On condition that she should not be arrested she related that , Lascott, who made almost daily visits to her use, came there about 8 o’clocKk the morning of the Snell murder, his race pale and hag- gard, his eyes staring and. his voice choked with nervousness and excitement. He told her he had gotten into a bad scrape and would have to leavetown on thefirst train that left the Union Depot, no matter whither it took him, and that he wanted money to pay his way out of town. She told him tuat she had no money, when he drew a pearl- handled pistol and pointed it at her head, reiterating his demand for money. She then gave him $20, which he thrust into his pocket and nastlly left the house, As ne turned to go out of the room ne threw” a package on the bed, telling her to keep it. as it might be valuable sometime. This package is in the hands of the police, and contains papers taken from Mr. Sneli’ssafe. Theactual dis- covery of the identity of the murderer was brought about through his ravings of his crimes during his sleep and their revelation to the police by his mistress, who heard his troubled conscience unload itself in moaned utterances as the young burglar lay in presen and troubled slumber. Jennie Clifford was the unintentional confidante of yOURs dascptt’s innermost thoughts, an@ as he lay beside her, she learned trom his talk that he wasa burgiar, and had en- gaged in some desperate crimes, the conse- quences of which haunted him in his dreams. Tascott allowed her to see his kit of tools; showed her his revolvers and told how dex- trous he was intheiruse. Another trick he had, which awakened her suspicion, was that before retiring he would take particular’ pains to conceal his pocket-book or satchel, which he often carmed, in some out-of-the- way place, such as undera rug or in a closet. The police at once went on the trall of Tas- eott, and they have been there ever since, but have never got their man. Fougkt Like Demons. Frank Lever of 4529 Bittner avenue and James Bougess of 8239 Bircher road gotintoa dispute last night in Bougess’ blacksmith shop, 8235 North Broadway. Lever cut a scalp lock inches square from the top of Bougess head and Bougess struck Lever six times on the head with a hammer, inflicting a scalp wound with each blow.

Among the passengers on the Missourl Pacific train, which arrived at the Union Depot at 6:40 o’clock last evening was a gray-haired, gray-bearded old man whose feeble step and hectic cough betokened that he would soon embark on another journey which would be railroads or railroad trains.

The old man is in an advanced stage of consumption and had to be helped off ofthe cars. He was taken in charge of by Sergt, O’Malley and sent to the Four Courts.

New Tonk, Dec. 81—The will of John Eichler, the brewer of Morrisania, was or- fered for probate yesterday before Surrogate Ransom by ashbel P. Fitch, as attorney for Mrs. Maude Eichler, the widow of Eichler and the executrix named in the will. Objections to the probate of the will were filed on behalf of Anna Katherina Eichler, through her attor- ney, M. A. Lesser. The Surrogate fixed next Wednesday for the hearing of evidence on the will and the objections. Mr. Fitch, on being asked about the objection to the pro- bate of the will, said: This is a revival after Mr. Eichler’s death of the same Claims which were madein his lifetime and were then proven to de abso- lutely without any oundation. fortunate that while Mr. was still alive and could many witnesses who are living as to his identity, this matter was thoroughly in- vestigated in court.

The injuries were described in detail, and the report was signed both by Dr. Todd and Dr. IIII. PECLARED VENGEANCE. The death of Campbell, and the failure to apprehend anybody for his murder, angered the colored people, especially tne Potts fac- tion, in fighting whose battles the big desper- ado had lost his life. Pretty soon there came hot mysterious whispers that there had been a discussion between the two doctors, Hill and ‘Todd ; that Todd had maintained that Camp- bell’s neck had been broken, while Hill had denied the fact, presumably so that no white man who had beeg implicated in the saloon nrawi where Campven met his death, should be held for the crime. It has never been discovered how these in- flammatory reports originated. After the murder of Dr. Hill, gossip connected the name of Dr. Todd with him, not openly, but ina covert way. No reputable white man, Charles Brooks. [The Man Who Felled Dr. Hill With a Stone.] It is said, gave credit to these insinuations, but within the past few months Dr. Todd has left Millington, although his drug store is Still m operation there, owing tothe un- M results which this gossip has en- alled, It is probable that the Potts crowd put these reports in circulation. it is Known that on the night of April 28, on which Dr. Hill was murdered, Jonn Potts was seen in consulta- tion with Fletcher Wimams, one of the prince pals in the crime. It issatd also, but the point was not fully substantiated, that Potts brought the whisky from Wilmington -on which the gang of murderers became drunk the night they waylaid Dr. Mill; that on this same night John lotts was seen by three aqifferent parties watching Dr. Hill just de- fore he departed on his errand of mercy which ended in his death. Be that as it may there was nothing to show that John Potts was implicated in the death of Dr. Hill any more than he was implicated in the fracas which resulted in Campbell’s death, or that he circulated the infamma- tory lies which led up to the crime on the highway near Millington. Some day the di- rect connection of this shrewd, cdiculating colored man with the murder of James Heighe Hul may be explained. For the pres- ent, probably for all time to come, while the memory of the crime remains, John Potts is as much an exile from Kent County and Mil- lington as though a price had been placed on his head. One of his brothers 1s located in Coatesville; Joseph, another, is in Chester. THE COLD-RLOODED CRIME. Up to the night of April 23 Charles Brooks, Fletcher Williams, Moses Brown, Joshua Brainerd, Louis Benson, Henry Hurtt, Frisby Moser Brown, {The Murderer Who Made the First Confession.) Comegys and Charles 8. Emery had nad no connection with Dr. Hill n any way which might have aroused their hatred or enmity.

When the team got up to us Brooks grabbed tho horse, Comegys and radshaw held him, aud Brooks knocked him over with the stone he bad ina his hand. The doctor exclaimed, *‘Oh, boys, I have not done anything to yon! Williams grabbed the doctor, heid his head in his left hand and stuck the knife in his throat. Williams then said, Mose, come help put his head uader the rod.’ then went and helped fix him in the cart. The horse was then started off and we all then decided what to say. Williams said that he had blood on his hands and was going in Cooper's to wash itof’. Brainerd, Emory end Hurtt locked on and did sothing.

It was wise for them to do 50, for so high did public excit@ment run that it is doubtful it a thoroughly’ unpreju- diced jury could have been obtained. After an impartial hearing in which the de- fense offered no witnesses, for though the murderers pleaded not guilty, their own con- fessions were produced against them, the Judges—Wickes, Robinson and Stump—found them gulity of murder in the first degree. On Monday afternoon, Oct. 31, sentence of death was! osed by Judge Wickes.

Many Plans Proposed by the Delegates, but Nothing Decisive Accomplished— Europe Does Not Take Kindly to the Free ‘Coinage of Silver—The Sherman Ac*. New Yorx«K, Dec. 31.—One of the American delegates to the International — ference held at Brussels, Senator W. B. AlH- son, has just returned to New York. Speak- ing about the conference he said: In some respects it was very satisfactory; in others it was not. If you ask me for tangl- able results I must admit that there are few. But breaking the ground, you know, is as — important a part of progress as building the house, and we aid break the ground for bet- ter things to come. Just what these things will be itis impossible forme to say or for any man to predict. „„This much, however, is certain, that the delegates who took partin this conference, and who are all men of fine intelligence, went away ina hopeful, earnest frame of mind, more than ever convinced of the importance —I may say the necessity—of taking some general action in regard to this vast mone- tary question. That conviction in itself I consider a most encouraging sign, for there is nothing so hard to combat and so fatalto advancement as ignorance and apathy. Before this con- ference many of the European delegates were not keenly alive tothe importance of prob- ems which they had been called upon to solve ,and the urgency of finding some solution. Now, all is different. I was struck by the general disposition of the assembly to admit that the existing monetary relations of civilized nations were unsatisfactory and calculated to seriously hamper and check the carrying on and development of the world’s commerce. „Was any plan of international action proposed which especially commended itself to you?’’ was asked. „There were plans proposed without end, andinalllanguages. That was about all we did—propose plans—except to criticise the other fellows’ plans, Ido not think I can specify any one of them, however, which could be considered satisfactory. That would be too much to expect at this early stage of the conference, which atthe best has been hardly more than tentative in its charac- ter. „Wnat suggestion did you make yourself?’’ My remarks have been published in French and English, and willbe given out here in time, I may summarize them, however, by saying that I advocated strongly the free coinage of gold and silver at the mints of the nations entering into the union, with a pro- vision that a certain ratio between gold and silver be maintained. Do you mean a ratio between the quantil- tles of gold and silver coinea?’’ ‘*Certainiy not, for I believe in coining all the gold and silver that is presented. The ratio I refer to is between the values of the metals as coined into dollars—that is, the pumber of grains in each. Can that ratio be maintained by law?’’ ‘*T think it can. You have been polsoned in your idea on the silver question by read- ing the text books of our college professors. They are good men, brilliant men, fearned men; but, however, that is another ques- tion. „es, sir; I do think that the ratio I spoke ot can be maintained by law. You think it will fuctuate with tbe varying production. fromthe mines Of silver aq gold. But such BROKE THE GROUND. mal rate of increase? governments of the world should agreeto abandon the use of gold as money, what do you suppose would happen? „„ will tell you. There would be an immense amount ot gold dumped into the market as bullion, to be changed into jewelry, teeth filling, etc. How long do you suppose it would take the civil- ized world to use it up, allowing for the nor- This is a fact. Now, suppose the world had on hand a supply of clothing sufficient to fill its wants for a cen- tury to come, what would happen? Clothing would go down like a shot, would it not, and become ridiculously cheap? The same would be true of gold. : 9 give yo t, which u this a n was one of those I used with effect on the Brussels eee athe the ve to show that, how- ever you IoOF at it, the values of these metals used for money, whether there be one of them or two, are fictitious. So what differ- ence does it make if the ratio between the two dollars is maintained by law? If all countries agree on maintaining it there will be no trouble. The Senator was asked how his argument in favor of the free colnage of silver were re- ceived by the European delegates. Not very well, I must admit, he an- .swered; but I did get them to acknowledge that there was much to be gained dy the more abundant use of silver in their coinage as far as would be consistent with their pres- ent monometallic system. <A number of ways were suggested Dy which that end might be compassed. One was to issue silver certificates, another to withdraw from circu- lation allthe smaller gold coins now in use and to suvstitute silver pleces for them. By smaller gold coins I mean the 10-franc and 10- mark pieces, the English half-sovereign and pieces of that sort. **Ali that makes me hopeful of some def nite result in accordance with our policy when the conference meets again in the com- ing May. One bad thing about the confer- ence, which might and should have been different, was the delay in the beginning. If we had started our deliberations in Septem- ber, as was originally intended, there would have been some chance of getting through before Christmas. As it Was we saw right at the start that with only four weeks to work in we would do little more than make a start for there was no more possibility of keeping those delegates together over the holidays there in Brussels than there would be of keeping Congress together during the same season.’’ Being asked if he expected to go back tothe conference in May the Senator simply smiled, shook his head slowly and said some- thing about President Cleveland being in the White House then. And how about the Sherman act? Do you think any action will be taken by the present Congress?’’ The Senator smiled again. No, we do not propose to deprive our friends, the enemy, of the pleasure of arranging that little mat- ter as they may think best. Of course I do not know anything about it, but 1 have a strong impression that the Sherman act will not be interfered with by the present Con- gress. And after the next Congress meets will they be able to take any action touching on the monetary system of t country during the recess of the international conference?“ It was specifically stated that any one of the countries represented was free to alter its monetary system during the recess in any way it might see fit, according to its im- mediate necessities or advantages. There was nothing done by the conference which would prevent the United States from repeal- ing the Sherman actor India from demonetiz- ing silver.’’ Senator Allison will remain in New York until Monday, when he will go to Washine- ton. Senator Jones is still in Brussels. Henry W. Gannon is in Genoa and Prof. Andrews and ex-Gov. McCfeery are also on the other side. They will ali return soon, as will Prof. Faulkner of the University of Penna- sylvania, who was Secretary of the delega- tion, ana will bring back the formal reports. THE MERCHANTS’ MERRIE KREWE.

St. Louls continues toshow a rapid and healthy increase, both asa commercial and manufacturing city. Statistics recently printed indicate that St. Louis is the largest tobacco manufacturing center in the world, while in the production of boots and shoes it isfast approaching and passing other cities 3 noted in this line. In the maufacture of steel ranges there is no city in the country or, in fact, in the world, which approaches St. Louls in the production of this line of goods. The manu- facture of ranges cannot be mentioned with- out referring to the Wrought Iron Range Co., whose plant occupies an entire city block block, from 19th to 2th streets, and from Washington to Lucas avenues. This company commenced operations over a quarter of a century ago and by a careful attention to the details of their business and catering to the wants of the people have achieved a remarkable success and are to- day the largest manufacturers ofranges in the world. , Asan evidence ofthe immense amount of business which this concern is doinga con- tract whichthey have just made with the Missouri Malleable Iron Co. is worthy of mention. The contract referred to is doubt- less one of the largest, if not the largest, of its kind ever made and will in round figures amount to over $1,000,000.- To enable them to properly handle this work the Missouri Malleable Iron Co. have erected an extensive plant, utilizing fif- teen acres of ground, a portion of which is to be used exclusively for this work. Their plant is equipped with all modern appliances regardless of cost, and is the finest in the world. They are making malleable iron under a new process which can be hardened and tempered and, in fact, has all the qualities of best open hearth steel. They have added largely to their force, as it will require between 500 and 600 men, principally skilled mechanics, to turn this work out, thus affording steady support of a liberal character to at least 2,000 persons, who in turn patronize the mer- chants and dealers of st. Louis. Fy j — Sr Pare eS wai * +h, . ie eae * f * * 7 nnn, .. n if tae oe Wr é ; 1 * 5 A n 8 f N 7 5 E ** 1 ‘ a) ee ae ; ‘ 1 * & i 4 oe * A * * me ei * 1 1 l * * de?

The parties to the affair are Walter Taylor, his wife, Bella Taylor,and Robert Walker. Inthe early months of 1892 Mr.and Mr. Taylor were married at Wil- Mamstown, N. J. He was 23 years of age and she was 20. Four months ago, Walter Taylor and his young bride came from the East and settled in Alton, Ill, They did not have the ambition of most young married couples to go to housekeeping, and so they put up at William Nixon’s boarding- house, No. 1300 East Second street, Alton. Mr. Taylor, who is a glass - blower by trade,got employment at the Alton glass works, and was put on the night „shift.“ He and his young wife were thus set at odds and ends in the matter of mutual association, for he was obliged to sleep while she was at leisure. In this respect Robert Walker, a glass - blower, and also one ot the guests of Nixon’s hostlery, had an advantage over Taylor, for Walker was on the day turn, » Hatt?

Last year this society helped 1,781 families, representing 6,000 persons. Just now the applications are very aumerous. Owing to ee ger associations do an immense amount of the difficulty in determining whgther able- bodied men who ask aid are loafers or worthy objects of charity who would earn a living if they could, the Provident has hit upon the pan of establishing an extensive wood-yard where men may earn the money they need. When a man says he would work if he could get work to do, he will be at once allowed to saw wood. Operations will be begun by the end of next week and the yard will be at 1735 Sec- ond Carondelet avenue. The public will be asked to patronize the yard on account of its benevolent feature. Sr. VINCENT DE PAUL. Mr. Patrick Monahan, the newly-elected President of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, says that the demand for fuel auring the past two weeks has been very heavy. The society now has 300 applicants. In the warmer seasons the number averages only about fifty. The work of this institution is systematic and thorough as far as it is possible to be. It is composed of thirty- seven conferences, the presidents af which form the Upper Council, of which Mr. Mona- han is President. Each conference has its district and each district is subdivided. For every subdivision there isan Investigating Committee of two or more, so that almost every poor person in the city is known by some member of the insti- tution. The local conferences are almost always able to take care of their poor, and at the monthly meeting of the Upper Council last Wednesday only two conferences re- ported that they were out of funds. ‘*The and was off duty in the early evening hours when Mrs. Taylor no doubt most desired to enjoy the affection of her husband. That Robert Walker saw his chance and took it there is no doubt. Ihe young wife, away from her folks, and the companions of her girlhood, alone in the bustling boarding- house, while her husband tolled in the works, was like a vine that needed a strong tree to support its tendrils. Walker fell into Mrs. Taylor’s company often, and created in her mind the idea that he was the sort of man she was looking for, when by mistake she chose Taylor for her husband. Her love for Taylor was poisoned, and her affections were transferred to the designing Walker. SHE LEFT A LETTES. The upshot was that when Mr. Taylor re- turned to the boarding-house one morning a few days ago his wife was not there to re- ceive him. He was at a loss to explain her absence so early in the day, but his ignorance was dissipated by the following pote which he found in a conspicuous place: WALT— Here is the money lI drew; you will find half of it under the pillow. I will take the other half. If you will get a divorce, l will send you whatI have. You have called me names. Ain't you guilty?

' The dark halls of the Ashley building on Third street were as cold and damp as an un- derground dungeon. Women with sacks of coal on their suoulders groped their way along, afid half-clad children, who had been searching the streets for bits of wood, were now and then encountered on their way to dingy rooms that were the only homes they knew. The building is full of famiiles this yearandthe people who find shelter there probably number into the thousands. As a rule, though, they have some means of support.

Frankel, his mother, it is positively denied that there are any sensational features of the kind which have been published connected with the suit instituted by Miss Sass against Dr. The charge that the pros- ecution was caused by jealousy, spite or by the injured feelings of the plaintiff on account of the defendant’s mar- riage to another woman is characterized as entirely false. The rumors that Miss Sass was engaged to be marrged to Dr. Frankel, or that apy understanding of this nature ex- to be without foundation. Miss Sass claims that her long silence about the suit is due to the considera- tion she feels for one of the defendant’s rel- atives who is an intimate friend of her's. Dunlap and On His Trail With a Shotgun. Brpronp, Ind., Dec. 31.—An elopement which occurred at Owensburg last evening is in a fair way to lead to the killing of one of the principals. It seems that John Walker and one Harry Sylvester were both enamored of Sarah Wilkins. The girl’s rents favored Sylvester and re- used to permit Walker to come im the house. The yeung people are all wealthy and stand at the top 10 society. No trace of the couple has been found, but itis reported to be on the war path witha shot- gun. There is fun ahead. Sylvester is said to have been engaged to Miss Wilkinsand the wedding was to have occurred on New Year’s Day; he is inconsolablie. Quite Clever. From an Exchange. . „1 was getting „ measured for a suit of ng Mr. fora jok Taylor had taken, described the ring and the other bits of jewelry which she. took and nar- rdted other touching incidents of the desertion, which Taylor, in his simplicity, had believed that noone but himself knaw. Mr. Cordingley then solved the mystery of Mrs. Taylor’s disappearance thus: She and her companion came to St. Louis from Alton, and from here they went to Kansas City, and thence to Denver, Colo. Mrs. Taylor had repented of her misstep and she would gladly return to the straight and narrow path of marital rectitude, but she was restrained. She feared that her husband would kill her, for she believed his anger so im- placable that only her own Itfe blood would satiate it. Whenthe medium explained the situation to Taylor in this way, the unfortun- ate husband was beside himself with grief and despair, forin spite of his wife’s great sin against him, his lovefor her has not cooled, and a violent revenge is far from his intentions. Yet he has no means of telling her how he feels. In the spirit of adrowning man Mr. Taylor has fastened his hopes for the return of his wife to the chance that she will learn how he yearns for her. Mr. Taylor returned to Alton and told his friends what the medium said, and the glass-workers of Alton are as one in the wish that Mrs. Taylor will soon discover that her husband is ready to forgive and for- get. It is not so certain that the same char- itable treatment will be accorded to Walker if he too should come back to Alton, LABOR NEWS, Various Trades Unions Elect Officers for the Ensuing Nur.

This has no better Miustratlon than the respect and esteemshown the honest aad up- right physician. Honesty with the punbiic makes & reputation that will stand as a monument, 4 refer- ence of the good that has been done. No honest man will enter into deep laid plots, hoping thereby to gain the confidence of those from whom he wishes to extort money. The ‘‘Guarantee Cure-All’’ advertiser has had his day. Now what the people want is responsible, reliable and honest men. Look at the poor man who has perhaps for years been a sufferer from disease; he is*influenced bya sure-cure or money- refunded advertisement: he visits the doctor and is promised a permanent cure’? by advaacing the doctor twenty-five ($26) dollars. The sufferer, pin- ning his faith on the word of the ‘*great man, gives him the money, only to find, after a few weeks of so-called medical treatment, he is no better, after the doctor has left without leaving his future address. As we have said, be sure you are treating with a physician who has had the required amount of experience to undertake your case. How many deaths have been the result of unscrupulous physicians who term themselves 5 of va- rious diseases. Drs.

The essential do¢uments, diplomas, cre- 2.55 and indorsements have been presented, ful convincing the people that they are 8 Hat they claim, physicians 9 able to treat the cases they undertake.

They don’t deceive help- less invalids by bolstering them up with temporary stimulants and tonics. Drs. Copeland and Thompson do perform what they promise: cure when they agree to cure.

THEIR CREDENTIALS. Dr. Copeland is agraduate of Bellevue Hospital Medical College of New York City, was President of his class in that famous institution, and after thorough hospital training and experience devoted his time and attention to the special lines of practice named below. Passed through a similar course, Dr. Thompson, who has been associated for several years with Dr. Copeland, also devotes himeelf entirely to the treatment of these specialties. Years of exper- ience in their special lines. preceded by extensive hospital work, have fitted them ina notable degree for the practice of their profession. THE OFFICES OF Drs.

There is more talk about a Woman's Relief Corps in connection with Col. Neumann’s Post. There are seventy to seventy-five ladies connected with the post as wives or daughters of comrades, and a strong corps might be formed. This is work for the new Commander, Vomrade Bisser.

Routes Are So Divided to Give All a Fair Share of Work—Postmen at the Main Office Hold No Advantage Over Their Fellow Progress of the Great Con- teat—A Close Race. An impression seems to be current among a few people that down town postmen have a much greater chance of carrying off the prizes in the Post-DISPATCH contest to name the most popular letter carrier ia St. Louis than those whose work lies in the suburbs, or even in the residence district, This is not so, for, although car- riers in the business portion of the town de- liverina much more thickly populated dis- trict, the territory they cover is very much smaller than that covered by their fellows at the sub-stations. The routes are propor- tioned witha viewto giving each man an equal share of work, and no one carrier has an undue preponderance over his fellows. Some postmen at the main office work entirely in one or two of the largest buildings, while others from the smaller stations cover many blocks. A carrier’s success in this contest does not depend in the least upon his route, but rather upon the manner in which the public take up his cause. Each one of them hasanequal chance and the one whohas made the most friends in the faithful per- formance of his duty is the one who will ulti- mately prove the winner. Postmen can probably make friends more quickly than any other body of men. This 1s shown by the fact that a number of votes have been received at this office on behalf of **‘subs,’’ who can only have been on the route from which the ballots come at most afew days. One thing in his favor is that his visits are always looked forward to. Nearly everybody likes to receive a letter, and meet the bearer of it with a smile of good humor. If your letter contains good news, you cannot help feeling kindly toward the man who brings it you. A postman occuples an important position in the community. The assistance he renders to the business man is simply invaluable. In domestic cir- cles he is also animportant factor. What would relatives or loved ones who are parted do without his services? How many secrets are contained in his bag every day, shielded only dy a thin wrapper of paper, yet how seldom is the great trust reposed in him violated. Money and valuables are bejng constantly entrusted to his care, and are faithfully delivered to those to whom they are addressed. The Post-Ditsratcnun has opened the way for you to repay, in some measure, the many services rendered to you in the past, and by which you can testify to your approval of the manner in which these services have been performed, with but a minimum amount oftrouble to yourself. Don’t miss a single opportunity to vote for your post- man, and enlist the services of your friends and acquaintances on his behalf. It is the least you can do, and you will find that your efforts meet with the heartiest apprecia- tion. Any inquiries or communications sent to this office-should be written on one side of the paper only. No attention will de paid to letters in which this rule is broken. In every issue of this paper, until March 4, 1898, will be printed a Carriers“ Coupon’’ blank, which should be cut out, filled in with the nante and number of your favorite car- rier, and handedto him, or sent in to this office. The contest will be confined to St. Louis patrons of the Post-DIsPaTcHu because itis for the benefit of the letter carriers of St. Louis that the gift is made. ‘he prizes will ve awarded as follows: $500 in gold to the firat winner. $250 in gold to the second winner. $100 in gold to the third winner. $75 in gold to the fourth winnér. $50 in gold to the fifth winner. $Z65in wold to the sixth winner. Total $1,000 in gold. To insure perfect fairness in the contest, the POST-DISPATCH will not be sold in large numbers to any persons. No effort will be spared to make everything perfectly fair and square. May the best man vin, is the motto for the Post-DIsPATCH »Letter- Carriers“ Con- test, and with that motto fora rallying cry the contest opens right now. Cup out the coupon dnd vote for your mall carrier. From nowuntil March 4, 1893, just Jas regularly as the prompt and unfailing postman comes to your door withthe mall, just so regularly can you cast a vote for him in the Post-D1sraTcu ‘*Letter-Carriers’ Con- test to show him that you appreciate his faithful service. Getan early start by beginning to-day, and then keepup the good work for your postman. It's going to bea hot race, and you want him to win. Don't let him have occasion, therefore, to believe that he failed in the contest because he served a lot of peo- ple who were too indifferent to his welfare to even take the trouble to clip a coupon for him, See to it that every morning when your postman rings the bell at your house, the firstthing to be done will be to hand hima POST- DISPATCH ‘‘Carrier Coupon’’ with his name written on it. That's a very little thing to do, so far as trouble goes, but the daily doing of it means victory for your post- man. If you don’t want to work it that way, clip out, or let one of the children clip out, the Carrier Coupon! every day and save the coupons thus collected until the closing day ofthe contest. Then hand themina bunch to your postman, one for every day from Dec. 4, 1892, to March 4, 1893. The boys and girls will be tickled to death to take a hand in the contest in this way, be- cause there isn’t one of them but likes the Postman on our block. He knows every one of em and they know him. Get your neighbors into the good work. You all know how faithful the mall carrier has been in his service to you. ‘This is your chance to recognize that faithfulness. Clip out the Post-Dispatcn ‘'Carrier Cou- bons“ and give em to your carrier. Let him get the $500 gift in tne contest. HER FAVORITE A POSTMAN. Sr. Louis, Dee. 29, 1892.

The Marquette Club seemsto have taken new life since the new administration took hola a couple of months ago. With Julius schotten as President, H. A. Clover as chatr- man of the House Committe and E. C. Car- reras as chairma& of the Entertainment Committee, the club could not well have avoided a boom. President Schotten’s latest achievement is the organization of a pro- gressive euchre club, com posed of the following experts at the fascinating game: Judge Daniel a; John Martin, A. II. Handlan, F. J. Wade, Judge Jere Kyan, Redmond Cleary, — A. Quirk, P. C Murphy, Julius J. Schotten. B. 0˙ fell. H. A. Clover, Jr., Geo. A. — . 5 James Kinsella, P, J. Cunningham, James A. Deg- nan. M. J.

Most: of these 1 recogbized about town as oldstagers' at euchre and the President flatters himself that with Quirk and Murphy, Ryan and Martin or Handlan and Wade he would be justified in challenging the best euchre team that could he gotten together from all St. Louis. The club will have its first sitting next ‘Thursday evening, and it is suggested that members who don’t turn out and see the play will miss a great treat. » HOME CRESCENT. The yearly meeting of the Home Crescent Club was held on the 26th. The reports showed a profit of $4,000 over expenses, and a guln of more than sixty members during the year—the total membership now being 212. As the attendance was somewhat smali the election was deferred toa special meet- ing to be called by the Secretary within fifteen days. The folowing ticket has been placed in nomination: President, Leonard Wenzel; Vice-President, Ernst Lucas; secretary, John A. Watkins: Treasurer C. U. Hoffman : n Directors, the above ex-officio, and the following: Cook, Walter Filbert, Fred Schilling, Fred Zelle. S. Schorr, Henry Vogelsang, Louis Hotman, J. b. McGinnis, Gus V. Brecht. Matters of importance will come before the special meeting and the members are re- quested to keep this fact in mind when they receive notice of the meeting. Among other things the question of alteration and im- provement of t he house will be considered. As a matter of fact, the buildingis becom- ing too crowded forthe needs of the club, and an enlargement will soon be necessary if the present growth continues. Those interested in the proposed ‘‘bowling alley annex’’ have mobey enough subscribed to make the improvement. The billiard room is crowded every night. The bililardists greatly appreciate the re- fitting of the tables lately done bythe di- rectors. ram e LUB. 8 the directors’ meeting on Tuesday even- ing it was decided to hold the grand ball on Jan. 12.

The party will include a number of ladles. The club is talking up the annual ' banquet, which will be given about the middle of Jan- uary. Next Saturday evening the Circulo Es- panalo (educational department) wiil resume its Saturday night sessions, which have been interrupted during the holidays. This is the class designed for practice in Spanish—noth- ing but Spanish being spoken. The class is growing in popularity and interest. NOON -DAY CLUB. A general meeting of the projectors of the Noon- Day Clud will soon be held to consider the report of the Committee on Constitution, etc. It is likely the committee will recom- mend an organization on rathera more pop- ular basis than at first suggested—the initi- ation being $50 a the dues $50. The pros- pects now are at within sixty days the Noon-Day Ciub will be in full biast in its ele- gantiy furnished quarters in the Security Building, RICHARD’S WAGNER VERFIN. This isa German society devoted to the study of Wagner’s works. It meets at Shatt- Inger’s Hall, 10 South Broadway. After a short musical programme, rendered by the best local talent obtainable, a critique of some work of this master is given—the topic of the last sessicn being the ‘‘Master Singer of Nuremburg.’’ As the essayist proceeded Prof. Fischer, the planist, occasionally - lustrated the subject by giving the music to certain melodramutic passages, etc., and this added much to the pleasure of the hear ers. The next meeting of the verein will be held on Jan. 4, OFFICE MEN’S CLUB. At the meeting ofthis club on Dec. 27 the following were admitted to membership: Judge Horatio D. Wood, C. F. Deichman, Arthur C. Lauter, Owen L. Ball and Alfred H. Smith. Sultable resolutions were adopted regard- ing the death of Mr. C. J. Hayward, a valued memberand late proprietor of Hayward’ > Business College. The next meeting will be held on Jan. 10 anda big time is expected. The President, Mr. J. F. McMaster, is getting up two **teams’’ to debate the question whether the unrestricted Immigration now in vogue 1s beneficial or otherwise tothe United States. He hopes to have a discussion that will be worthy of the cultured audience that will be present.

VEST ON MORGAN, The Missouri Senator Calle the Indian Commissioner a Narrow- Minded Bigot. Senator George G. Vest, in answer to an appeal for his assistance in relieving the In- dians of Southern California of their present burden in the shape of an Indian agent named Rusk, has replied that Indian Com- missioner Morgan is a narrow-minded bigot, whose only purpose seems to be to prevent the Indians becoming Catholics, Mr. A. J. P. Garesche became interested in the fate of the Coahuila Mission Indians of Southern California, who were about to be restricted to a small reservation of about 200 acres, which was to accommodate some thirty- five familes N Mission Indians and about the same number from another tribe. The feature of the move, however, was that these Indians, whose very name implied that they had been — 2 associated with the Catholic priests for the past century and a half, were to be — — to send their children to a public sch where everything was done to make them regard the Catholic Church as an enemy and to further sup * the Catholic schools altogether. in answer to Mr. Garesche’s let- ter Senator Vest wrote as follows: UNITED STATES K 1 WwW ASHINGTON, D.

Domestic trade continues on @ small scale, as nearly all mer- chants handling flour were busy with their annual stock takin and id re % make any purchases. Not cted from this source until January 15 or Fe ruary 1. It is a surprise to all in the trade that flour keeps selling so slow, with prices so low. As this state of ffairs has existed for some time and as stocks must be ore Lyman some are of the opinſon that a tter market will be seer before long. As 18 at the holiday season quite a num- s have shut down and the output has been ——, lessened by the breaking of the machinery of one of the largest mills which 2 * e would have put in a full week. Shi nts during the year aggregate 280, 236 bbis against 2,745,121 the year before; recelpts were 1,455,342 bbls, against 1,353,640. The output during the week was as follows: Last Week before. 8 ber of mill Carondelet Milling Co Goddard Flour M 1] Co. ca K. O. Stanard Pye Co.. H. B.

The cotton market has been very quiet and featureless, as usual at the holiday season. There is little to say about the situation, ex- cept that it was a holiday market awaiting developments. There has been less specula- tion and fluctuations of prices have kept withina narrower range during the week just closed than for several months. Although the factors which usually govern values were rather in favor of higher prices the market has shown an indisposition to advance, which is attributable to the usual disposition on the part of the trade to close out standing contracts with the close of the year. The statistical position of cotton re- mains the same as for weeks past. Receipts keep full up to expectations and crop esti- mates are about what they have been for some time. A crop of about 6,500,000 bales is what is figured out by the most knowing ones. About 4,750,000 bales of this year’s crop has come in sight up to date, against 6,368,087 bales last year and 5,818,802 the year before. Hereafter 1,750,000 Dales will have to appear to sustain the cur- rent estimate among the trade ot the yield of this season’s crop. During the past ten years the smaliest amount appearing after the turn of the year was 1,195,000 bale > The hog market for the week was more sat- isfactory than predicted by a majority of the dealers. Receipts for the week were 2,065 tons against 1,875 tons the week before. Ship- ments 404 tons, against 475 tons. There was no market on Monday and Tuesday morning and their receipts reported were large. As it is usual at this time of year for dealers to work off all their surplus before taking stock very little demand and Light trading was looked for. This was the case on the low grades, light movement in them being reported dally with the best grades. Choice and fancy it was different. Fancy hay was scarce and wanted and the light receipts and offerings were readily placed at slight advances over the ruling prices of the same grades last week. The scarcity of fancy and better forced buyers totake hold of the next best creating a demand for these, which absorbed all the offerings, leaving only the extreme low grades to carry over. As the low grades constitute a majority of the dally arrivals and the movement of them being very smally,the gradually show increases in holdings. Kecelvers would will ingly shade prices,if by so doing any in- crease in the demand would result, but it seems to have no effect inincreasing the movement, and they are forced to hangon towhat they haveandthe bulk of the dally receipts and wait for some favora- ble deveiopments. Prairie has shown a good steady movement ail weekandat satisfac tory prices, some large lots being placed at figures that could not be secured the week before only in a small way. Receipts from Kansas averaged the largest and the best and sold at. the top prices, some selling Saturday within 50c and oc per ton of the highest prices paid on the present crop. Several half cars of millet were sent in as samples of round lots to ascertain what the market was on thisclass of hay. The few lots brought $7 per ton, and this was bid for more. There was a good inquiry for straw at $5 East side and $5.50@5.75 per ton this side, several cars selling at that price, Chat From ’Change. The world’s annual output of coal has, it 18 estimated, reached a total of 485,000,000 tons, and the countries contributing to that enor- mous total were as follows, together with the amount produced in 1890: Great Britain and Ireland, 128,000,000 tons; America, United Sgates (estimated for 1891), 141,000,000 tons; Germany, 90,000, tons; France, 28,000, 000 tons; Belgium, 20. 000, 000 tons; Austria, 9.000, 000 tons; Russia (1888), 6,000,000 tons; others, 9,000, 000 tons. 1 5 „ Another flour mill has been added to the already large list of mills operated by St. Louis parties by the purchase of the Woest- man Mill Co. of the Reither“ mill at Nash- ville, III., with a dally capacity of 400 bbls. This company also owns the ‘‘fawyer’’ mill at Nashville, capacity 800 bbis, giving them a total capacity of 1,200 bbis a day. The new mill will be remodeled and equipped with the most improved machinery. The steadily in- creasing trade and the fact that this concern was continuously behind on orders was the cause of the enlargement of their output. — * * An important meeting of the grain — of Washington was held at Col- Wash.

If, however, the estimates and reports of the provincial authorities may be accepted as trustworthy, the Government will com- pelled to expend at least 50,000,000 of roubles relief measures, before the advent of spring. There is more than a sufficient abundance of food aud seed grain in the country to meet all possible necessi- ties, and after the lesson of last year the Ministerial executive must be held to have absolutely not the shadow of an excuse for any failure of rallway transport organiza- tion in the timely supply of foodstuffs to the famished districts. the complete stagnation in the grain export traäde is causing much misery amonga large number of people di- rectly or indirectly dependent on the prosper- ity of this local staple industry. There isa latent and well-grounded fear among Rus- Sian exportersthatthe grain industry will never recover anything like its former pre- eminence onthe Western markets. It has been inavery large measure displaced by America, against whose iow prices the Rus- sian producer and the Russian exporter can no longer struggle. Forthe first time dur- ing a generation Russia has now been awak- ened to the ugly fact that Europe is indepen- dent of her granaries. * > — The Minneapolis Market Record sags: The text of the ‘‘I told you so“ crowd relates now to the deal usually called a spread. There are many kinds of spreads, but most of them have to do with that that is drawn out thth not necessarily too thin, but thin always. Maay things are better thin. Thin margins in an unprofitable transaction save men from greater losses. There is such a thing in a deal as to be right, al- though too seldom found, when too thin margins evaporate just before light breaks in. Thenthe misfortune is charged to bad luck while the error, perhaps, is in over- trading. Whenone getson the wrong side and loses he rants about luck. So it’s simpy out of luck and thin margins that Keeps the whole speculating world poor. There are oniy two sides to speculation, the right side and the wrong side. Almost everybody takes the wrong side, while the rest are out of luck on account of thin margins. The man with thin margins always loses in heavy trading. If he is right in general judgment he is. dropped out in the little swells or dips that his margin is too thin to carry bim through. If he is wrong he loses anyhow. So thin margins are too attenuated, whether right or wrong, to lead to wealth and fame. But then, too thin margins some- times carry notoriety, although that is butan indifferent substitute for fortune. Spreads are a consolation because they promise big business with little capital. If they are right they waste the profits in com- mission. If they are wrong the expenses double the losses and if they are right the ex- penses eat up the profits. It follows that all the good that one gets out of them, who takes the risk, isthe fun there is in never seeing his money any more. There is such a thing asa spread taken with the margins so thin that they consist merely of the shadow of a business rating. Tsually spreads are so safe that the brokerage firm that gets them takes margins even thinner than the shadow of a business rating. They are the promise that the loser will call it a debt of honor if the profits of the spread do not pay the brokerage. Debts of honor lose theircharm when offered as collateral for overcoats and they are sometimes refused at the banks, on account of their ethereal thin- ness, but the man who once gets them may be consoled with the certainty of being never without assets afterward. From the Street. New vegetables made their appearance on the street early last week. Green peas, beans and cucumbers came from Florida, while California furnished cabbage, cauliflowers and tomatoes. > > Ina review of the Florida orange crop the Chicago Produce Trade Reporter says: From the best of authorities, the estimated crop of Florida oranges this season will not be less than 14,50, 000 boxes—15,090 cars, 300 boxes to the car.’ The so-called list of authorities will be found away off on this estimate. Itis about 1,000,000 boxes out of line. It will be found thatthe orange crop for this season will not exceed 3,500,000 boxes. * = * Journal must have broved a revelaticn to its friends and patrons. It was a double num ber, embellished and illustrated throughout, while it contained in addition a great fund or information of special interest to the fruit jobbing trade. The one hundred or more familiar faces of the leading fruit dealers of the country representing the principal mar- kets were a Teature of the issue. = = > Egg shippers patronizing this market made the usual blunder towards the approach of tho Nolidays—holding back for the Christmas trade and then letting all their holdings come in at once—breaking the market and lowering the price nearly a dollar a case. There is no special demand for eggs at Christ- mas and the. folly of holding back for that event has been demonstrated time and again. * * * The great abundance of jack rabbits in Kansas isshownin some of the letters re- ceived from there. IP. M. Klely & Co. hada letter a few days ago froma game shipper in that State whowantedto shipa straight car load of jack rabbits. Asit would take from 6,000 to 7,000 of these big jacks to fillacar, some idea can be had of the display such a quantity would make in addition to the reg- ular receipts. As the market was already rather crowded the shipment was discour- aged. * * The robbery of Wilna Marshall, the wholesale butter dealer, in the produce quarters, by a trusted employe was some thing of a surprise. Mr. Marshall is exceed- ingly unfortunate, for only six or eight months ago he was robbed of $800 by another trusted young man in hisoffice. The first man was saved by his relatives, who paid the shortage, but in the last case it looks like the robber will be rallroaded through. These facts go to show the wisdom of having mere young ladies in the offices on Third street to handle the cash and the books, too. * * The statement wasrecently given wide pub- licity that a Chicago firm has ordered 18,000 live jack rabbits in Kansas for the World's Fair to selito Europeans who are expected to purchase them. This is just as reliable as the report published a year ago that arrange ments were being made with Eiffel to build a 1,200 foot tower for the Fair. It 110 as truthful as a great many similar absurdities sent broadcast by the Chicago papers to advertise the big show and draw people to it. The rabbit story is ingenious, but weak. The jack rabbit is no novelty to Europeans. ‘The Englishman, Irishman, Scotchman, Frenchman and Ital- fan sees in the jack the hare of his native land. Even if he didn’t, he would not be- come suffictently enamored of it to cage it and ere it everywhere with him till he reached his home beyond the seas. — The wholesale commission and grocer houses contribute more annually to the ac tual charities of the city than any other class of business.

New Tonk, Dec. 31.—The past week has furnished good evidence that the financial ‘community and the investing public have not lost faith in the ability of this country to save itself from the consequences of the folly of tts legisiators. While all thinking men agree that our currency is drifting rapidly toward a silver besis, there is, nevertheless, so strong a conviction that our people will not suffer serious harm to come to them that no one seems particularly alarmed, The dangers of existing currency laws have been so thoroughly presented to the pablic during the past few months that every intelligent man understands the main points of the situation. Afterall the Ameri- cao public is a great power; perhaps the «reatest in the world to-day. When the American people, deliberate, slowto action and guided by soundest reason, make up their minds that a certain course is best, that course is always followed. No legislative body, no combination of capital, however great, dares oppose the great American public, A gread deal has been salad about an issue of bonds to relieve the present situation. Suppose the Secretary of the Treasury should issue $50,000,000 to $10),000,000 of such bonds as he has authority to issue, namely, 4s, 42s or 5s. Inthe first place, probably the entire issue would be taken in this country. Perhaps the greater part of it would be taken by the New York banks. No one knows better the value of a United States Government se- curity than the head of a New York bank. Our banks bold an amount of gold estimated at $75,000,000. Thisis of no special use to them, except that it looks welt in their statements and gives a pleasing sense of stability. Someof the bankers regard the gold iu the Ught of a conservative specula- tion. Thatis, they are holding it with the idea that there may be later on a premium sufficient to show a considerable profit in Ssellingit. Butit ts probable that the New York bankers would jump at a chance to acquire government 4s at par for gold. ‘the heads of our great sav- ings banks and other financial in Stitutions are chafing more and more over the narrowness of the investment fleid afforded to them by law and are begging for greater privileges. Their numbDer Is increas- ing, whe in some cases their investment field is narrowing. How eagerly would these institations seize onan issue of government 4s. What would bethe result? So much gold would be transferred from the banks to the Treasury. There would still be exactly the same reasons that now exist for drawing 11 out of the Treasury aud sending it to Europe. As long as present conditions remain it would be only a question of time when all the gold inthe country would leave us. in fact the issue of bonds by transferring gold to the Treasury would facilitate operations. Some financiers maintain the view that if Congress should authorize an issue of low in terest bonds, andif these should be placed with a European eyndicate with the under- standing that they be held for a certain time, say a year, some relief might be obtained. It is true that this would bring gold here, or at least would check the outflow of gold but would not the relief bo a temporary one only? As long as pres- ent conditions exist, as long as necessity and timidity together impel Europe to call on us forthe payment of our debt will not any bonds sold there drift back to us eventually. Can there be any real cure which does not eradicate the disease? The latest action of the Reading manaze- ment is in line with previous ones. The Finance Co. of Pennsylvania will act as a “(fiscal agent for the Reading Coal and Iron Co. The announceinent of the arrengement was decked with alluring verbiage. But what it really means is that the Reading company must have money to pay interest on the preference income bonds, which its statements show to have been earned. The Reading has a great deal of coal. But it cannot distribute coal to the pondholders in lieu of cash. The wild vent tures of President McLeod. His heavy specu- lations in the stocks of the companies in which he has become interested, his intimate associations with shady financiers, and his arrogant rejection of wise counsels have 80 injured the credit of the company that first-class bank ers willhave nothing to do withit. That is why McLeod has been compelied to call on a financial institution, which went to the wall about a year ago, but which was reorganized by an issue of preferred stock. This is the sort of financial institution that a man like McLeod naturally allies himself with. The finance company will loan to the Reading, on the security of coal notes, a part ofthe 52. 000,000 which it has received from the issue of its preferred up the rest of the whatever is the total sum which the Reading must pay for interest, it is believed that an Issue of collateral! trust bonds will be made. The reason given for Mr. MeLeod's shifting ofa portion of the responsibilities of the office, for which he receives a hand- some salary, is that his usefulness in other flelds may not be curtailed.’’ The financial community understands well enough what that means. Mr. McLeod, finding his attem tocontrol the anthracite trade to be a fall ure, s with a coterie of queer enters into a series of reckless speculations. The first relleves Frank Jones and his crippled friends of a large load of Boston & Maine stock. No sane man has yet been dis- covered who could give a satisfactory reason forthis move, other than the speculative gain of those who affected it. Mr. McLeod’s ea that he wants to. increase the market for — coal in New knagland is unworthy even of him, handicapped as he is by a ewelled head and a wealth of inex- perience. How he expects b running his coal over the grades ofthe Derkshire hilis to compete with tide water transportation he leaves to the imagination. Yhen he and his coterie went into the infamous Connecticut River transaction, buying enough stock of the road at exborbitant figures to snatch it fromthe New York & New Haven, which was about to lease it. Mr. MeLeod’s excuse for buying this road at a preposterous price is — — he wants to increase the market for gz coal. Tule 15 too absurd for discussion. In other words, Mr. McLeod and his coterie have en- tirely lost their bearings. They are plunging wildiy. To use an inelegant bat forcible ex- ression, they are slosbing around.“ They ia ve sofar expended, ve N to calcula tion, something like $14,000 cash. They hold 106,000 Shar ares of New York & New land ac red at an average Of some- wise over 4 30,000 res of Boston and Maine acquired at 2 ut 180, and 14,000 shares of Connecticut River acquired at over 200. Not Hot all this expenditure can be justified on any basis of economic or strategic advantage. Overlooking entirely, as speculators 14 do, the proviem of in- trinsic values and to increase them, these speculators have been engaged solely in attempts to balloon credit. Any man with a knowledge of finence can foretell the whole career of Mr. Mc „can trace his rise and fall, just as a mathematician can draw a cy- cle the smallest are.

There was evinced a general tendency to accumulate the stock. Another feature of the market and one im- parting strength tothe coal stocks was the statement that an agreement had been made between the Reading and Pennsylvaaia in the matter of coal tariffs to junction points. Other stocks, and especially sugar certifi- cates, in which there was extensive buying to cover short interests, shared inthe gen- eral buoyancy. ‘Ihe market opened strong and moderately active and there was a pressure to take profits in some of the specialties. The advance in Manhattan already noted was marked, the stock touching the highest point of the year. Although Reading opened strong the strangth was bot maintained in subsequent transactions and in later trading the effect ofthe agreement in coal sales did not manifest itself in a marked cCegree in those stocks. Western Union was active on rumored purchases for foreign account. Dis- tilling certificates were strong, notwith- standing the reports of an opposition dis- tillery. During the closing hours busi- ness gave way to the routine festivities. 29; 705. 510 ’ N. 0. NELSON ON FOERSTEL — — — — He States the Views He Eatertained as Foreman of the Grand-Jury. Just before leaving the city for a long ab- sence Mr. N. O, Nelson, who was foreman of the last Grand-jury,expressed himself on the subject of the Foerstel case and briefly on the subject of the Mayoralty to a Post- Disrarch reporter. He said: The Foerstel tragedy is due to causes very different from those assigned for it by the newspapers and critics. Foerstel was a re- taller of meats, doing his own butchering—a good-hearted, inoffensive man. Whe city of st. Louis collects and disburses about $9,009, 000 a year; it usually has on hand at one time from 82.000, 000 to $3,000,000. Nom inaily, the people of St. Louis called this wmeatshop- kee per lrom his stall to be- come the custodian of these sums. He un 22 the task by proxy, being wholly in- ees of performing any of the duties him- self—and the proxy proved faithiess. Were the public really responsible for so ludt- crously absurd a selection? It would be little more absurd were a scene -shifter given a lead- ing tragedy part, ora bank president set to run a locomotive. The people did not doit the party machine managers ald. Usuaty t is not a system. Dut its ‘execution, Which is at fault. In machine supremacy the fault is in the system The people are power! less as long as the machine isin control. Run down the whole list of leading officials in the city admiaistration ana see how many there are who would be selected for the places they hold, on account of fitaess. Good men, a large portion of them, are in their places— but they are out of their place. We are toid overand over by the newspapers, that a few unscrupulous manipulators farm out the nominations and appointments to their tools and adherents, often at cash in hand price. Honest ande, apable men will not take omee on such conditions. When Mr. Parsons was appointed tempo rary Treasurer every one said, *‘Just the thing. There arefeasily a thousand men in St. Louls of w hom this would be said; but they are never nominated and never appointed for any regular term. No system of checks or espionage could be invented by which the public fands would be secure in dishonest or incompetent hands. Something or somebody must be trusted. Payments are made at the rate of tao. a day; bonds and coupons cannot be counted daily by the ex- amining authorities. Thisis » hy a bond of half a million dollars ts required of the Treas- urer to cover any deficit. Whether the Comptroller and Auditor have done their whole duty cannot be Known until the facts are actually ascertained and not simply guessed at; but, in any event, they could not prevent a defaication. They ‘can ouly discover it after it has oc- curred. In the present instance the only losers, if any besides Mr. Yoerstel, are the bonasmen ; ‘but neither they nor the city have any cause to complain, for a defaica- tion of this extent could occur ina single day atthe hands of an officer such asthe city put in charge and the bondsmen went security for. The Ways and Means Committee have no other authority than to periodically count the canceled bonds and coupons and turn them over tothe Auditor, This they have done— whether monthly or quarterly is a technical question, the practical fact being that such a default could as easily be made in one month’s business as in three months’. The Grand-juries have no duty whatever abqut it until a felony has been discovered. Grand- juries are specially cautioned by the courts to regard with suspicion any complaint made through interested motives. A charge in open court, where the defendant may be heard, is the ay er course, anda pros- ecutor who seeks the cover of secrecy in the Grand-jury room should be heard with the greatest reserve or wholly ignored. The charges alleged to have been made against Mr. Foerstel came squarely under this caution, elaborately embodied in the Court’s charge to this particular Grand-jury. The attempt to make potitical capital out of the tragic episode illustrates another reason why officesare given overto the\ control of characteriess men. So long as a man attends to his private affairs and selfishly refuses to perform any publie service, he is treated the press and the gossips with kid gloves; but the moment that he in any manner undertakes to per- form any public function, his name becomes a foot ball to be tossed and kicked by the crowd. Men of reputation and sensibility win not pay so high a pricefor either duty’s or ambition’s sake. Depraved and small caliber men court the notoriety of such as- saults, and witn poetic justice in view see no impropriety in deserving them. it is not that these baseless and ungenerous flings hurt a man’s chances of election, for their animus is understood; but most decent men are sensitive and will not submit tosuchan eal 0 . Aword about the candidates for Mayor, who have been set up by the gossips for the sole purpose of Knocking them down in the next breath. If Nelson Cole isa candidate instaking and make an ef- ficient Mayor. His be a selec: tion for experience and fitness; but he is of the kind which will certainly not ask for office. If he is wanted, he must be asked. In anewer toa uestion as to &. 0. Nelson, the gentleman sa „N. O. Nelson is not a candidate, never has been and always has so stated. He has no ambition for office ; he has done a reasonable share of public ser vice; ne wants his tie for other uses.“ the Fire Record.

The record of the greatest real estate and bullding year St. Louls has ever made is closed. Allsummed upit is a wonderful ac- count ofthe city’s progress in the enhanced value of property and inthe ever expanding extent of its buildingimprovements. Nothing ike it has ever been approached. It Makes a grand history of one year’s work. Lester ‘| day’s business furnished the last figures for 1802 The week closed with 150 transfers, repre- senting sales of property amounting to $735,- 025, an exceedingly good record considering that it was Christmas week. Alarge per- centage of this business was in central prop perty, for whichthere is usually a good de- mand at this time of ear. An event in con- nection with business property that Is en- gaging considerable attention is the ap- proaching auction of the remaining vacant property on Washington avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. In view of the unequaled office demand for down town property this coming public sale bids fair to be very significant in establishing a basis for new quotations on central values. Undoubtedly the most important circum- stance of last week’s market wat the organi- zation of the Colonnade Bullding Co., a cor- poration that has secured a 9 year lease of the haif block on which Pope’s Theater stands on the west side of Ninth street op- posite the Custom house, The object of the company isto tearaway all the houses that now stand upon the site and erect a $1,000,000 bullding adopted to {theater and hotel purposes. The improvement when completed wiil proveto be an admirable conception of utility and architectural beauty. It will be ten stories high and not only an ornament to the city but an Improve- ment that will have great effect in ratsing the value of property all around it, especially on Locust and Olive streets. Yesterday a sale of the northwest corner of Franklin avenue and High street was re- ported by Charles H. Gleason & Co. from Wim. Nieman to thefirm of Nelson & Mers- man for $51,833.38. The premises have a frontage of 51 feet 8 inches by a depth of 108, and there is a three-story building upon it which producesa rental of $3,000 a year from stores and tenements. AGENTS” REPORTS.

Taking into consideration the fact of silver taking sucha faliin price, the output of the camp wilt exceed that of the estimates. At the Bimetallic smetter the new improve ments are being rapidly pushed to compie- tion. Whenthis work has been completed the smelting capacity will have deen almost tripled. The new furnaces will probably **bilow in’’ by Jan. 15. The shaft on the S.

C. vigorously worked this winter. now down 100 feet, and when work was suspended some time ago there were good indications of iron and the intention now is tocontinue the shaft through this tron body and then begin drifting. The Harvard mine shows upsome excellent workings. At present a winze is being dropped to cateh an ore body Delieved to ex- ist. The Harvard already has 1,000 feet of workings, Water is troubiing the manage- ment somewhat, but they expect to soon have this under control. THE WALCOTT SHIPMENTS, Shipments of good carbonate mineral con- tinue steadily from the Walcott property. The big ore body opened up a short time ago is still opening up. Work is now being car- ried on on a weil defined theory that ore chutes of varying richness wlll be met with. The work already done has demon- strated the fact that the iron body met with is at least eighty feet thick. In a ne level recently run a good body of ore has been met with which is very rich in lead ard ts of a choice shipping char-§J aeter. Ifthe present workings are carried onto the Elk fault itis probable that the body of porphyry will be met with, the ore and contact being found several hundred feet below. itis very likely that by to-morrow (Jan. 1) the Silver Queen mine will begin shipments. Atany rate by Jan. 10. This mine, from which some excellent high grade ore has been taken, is being worked through a shaft andtunnel. Theore isa species of quartz running well in silver and gold. fifteen feet of good ore is in the breast of the The vein will be followed down upon and a large amount of adgitional develop- ment work Mil also be carried on. Among the prominent properties on Dwyer Mount of Leadville mining district, are the Early Rose, Lucky Boy and Maid of Erin. The mines are all on the same ore chute as the Dwyer property. On the Lucky Boy sev- eral good streaks of ore have been met with, shipments from which dave netted a neatsum. Itis thought, however, that the real ore body will de found further in the mountain. ‘This tunnel willl be pushed in rapidly from now on. Your correspondent has seen several who have returned from the new gold fields in Southern Utah and these men claim that the reported riches there are greatly exagger- ated.

The report sent out of the finding of flat sheet zinc ore’’ at Webb City was largely upon the imagination. The Danviile Mining Co. operating east of VUarter- ville, recently struck zinc ore at the unusual depths of 235 to 285 feet. Five drill holes were sunk ona forty- acre tract and ore was developed in eac The fact that the ore lies so deep indicates that itis perhaps a large body, Dut does not demonstrate that there is anything in the nature of a sheet or coal like formation. It has been dull in the mining industry since Christmas. Thestorm which began Christ- mas day put a stop to work at all mines which are not provided with first-class plants, and p work was stopped entirely. In- some camps work was not resumed until Wednesday. The week’s outpat will be light. The markets are weak. There is little demandfor zinc ore as the smelters are — the year’s business and shutting down their works for necessary repairs. There is practically no change in the markets. 5 W.

When asked to tell his story of the broken shaft ‘and the attending dan- gers he pleaded fatigue, but was induced to relate the incident as follows: It was at Friday noon. The weather was Dea vy and it was bhowing a gale of the worst kind. The engines were racing, and our Speed was only moderate. The engineer on duty first observed an unusual movement in tune rings upon that fracture. steel flanges surrounding the shaft. were 5 inches wide, é inches deep and 8% acon) "that evening, to stop in order to make an examination. Thereupon I lifted the covers of the shaft and was almost aumfounded when’! gazea It meant thatthe ship was helpless until repairs could be effected. **Without the loss of any time and doing some mighty hard thinking, I formulated the idea we successfully carried out for repair- ing the shaft. It was the most laborious task of my life, but my staf willingly under- took it. To us allit was the only method that expert knowledge of engineering sug- „1 frst called my staff together and ex- plained by diagram my Views. They agreed with me that a shaft of that kina Dad never been repaired by the method proposed before, that is, understand, under similar circumstances. Remember that the shaft had no support at the break for twenty-six feet. That was one of the worst features and I lost no time In haying a heavy chain hung around the shaft and suspended from the ceiling.

N. eee 3 A fracture was discovered in her shaft and ber machinery was stopped south of the banks of Newfoundland at 6:300n the after- noon of Friday, Dec. 23. After drifting for twelve hours in a storm she was towed seventy miles by the Bohemia or the Hamburg- American line, but the cable that connected the two steamers was broken in a heavy gale on Saturday night, and they lost track of each other. After drifting three days she started again with her own ma- chinery, which had been repaired under great difficulties by Chief Engineer Tomlin- son,and came on in fine weather at haif speed to her destination. The first intimation that passengers on board had that there had been an accident was after dinner on Friday, although the en- gibheer bad been watching the shaft with anxiety for forty-elght hours, and the ma- chinery had twice been stopped during the previous night for an inspection of the fawed great steel casting. During Ginner Friday the steamer came to a standstil!, which caused some speculation among the pasten- gers, though as the weather was rough it was not atonce perceived that the machinery was not in motion. About 7:30 o'clock in the evening as the men in the smoking-room were lighting their cigars, Capt. Me- Kay came in and told them of the accident cheerfally. There was very little commotion when the ladies were informed of their situation. They took it as calmly as the men. Justafter daylight those who were asleep were awakened by several reports of the Um- bria’s gun and the sound of her whistle. Ia ten minutes almost every one was on deck to ascertain what was the matter. The ship was in sight justonthe edge of the horizon, bound eastward. For half an hour, during which time the gun was continually dis- charged and the hoarse whistle blowing, it was impossible to detect whether the other boat had seen or heard the Umbria’s signals. As during the entire voyage she had sighted but two other vessels, the passengers felt that it was almost too much luck that help should be at nand so soon after the break-down. Soon, however, it was seen that the newoomer was making toward tlie drifting ship, and at 8 o’clock she was along side. she proved to be the Bohemia, re- membered in connection with the cholera scare In New York harbor, of the Hamburz- American line, bound from New York to Hamburg. She at once responded to the Umbria’s request for a tow, and before noon she was connected tothe big ship by a steel hawser and was steamed slowly westward, the German flag at her stern flaunting before the disabled ship. The storm grew heavierin the afternoon, and it was all the Bohemia could doto dfag her big durden in theteeth of a head wind. After darka heavy snowstorm sprang up, which obscured the lights of the two vessels from each other. About midnight the steel hawser broke in a violent gale, and on Christmas morning the passengers of the Umbria found themselves again adriftina raging storm, with naught in sight but the sky and the sea. What became of the Bo- hemia noone knew. she probably lost track of the Umbria in the snowstorm after the hawser parted, and if she searched for her after daybreak she did not find her. SAILS IN SIGHT. Christmas Day passed without any demon- stration of discontent among the passengers, though the texas general croaked like an- other bird of ill-omen in the ladies’ cabin. Just at dusk a light was sighted to the south- wardand again the passengers fiocked on deck. Rockets were fred and soonthe Nght that at first seemed to fade away began to grow more and more distinct, and in Ralf an hourna small steamship lay alongside. In answerto the Umbria’s signals the new- comer reported that she was a vessel of the w Philadeiphia, take the other in tow be- enough, with Mme information she signalled -bp aaa departed. Lom the hour her time was taken at noon Friday unti! she broke down that evening the Umbria had made 124 miles. She drifted twelve miles to the southeast during the nigbt and the Bohemia towed her seventy- five miles toward New York on Sunday. At Monday noon she had drifted forty-two miles and the —y was still blowing. Justafter luncheon on Monday a steamer was sighted proceeding westward. In answer to the Umbria’s signals she came alongside and proved to be the Manhansett, bound from Swansea to New York, the property of Jas. McCaldin, one of the passengers on the Um- bria. The Manhansett bad scarcely come to a standstill, however, and considered the big prize money she would obtain by towing the disabled vessel to New York, when a much larger steamship hove in sight and bore down rapidly toward the drifting vessel. In afew minutes she was close enough for the officers of the Umbria to distinguish heras the Galllaof their own line, en route from Boston to Liverpool. The officers of the Manhausett also recognized the Gallia and steamed off homeward discon. solate, done out of her prize money. Every body on board the Umbria was jubilant from the Captain to the smallest baby on the steamship. The consternation of the captain, officers, crew and passengers may be imagined when, in response tothe Umbria’s signal, Dis- abled; stand by,’’ the Gallia returned: **Can’t stand by; carrying malls. The Umbria signalied back: We hold you responsible. But the Gallla simply dropped her ensign, Signifying good-by, and disappeared to the eastward asthe Manhansett passed out or sight to the west. Officers and passengers on the Umbria looked at one another in dumb bewlider. ment. The Gallia had noteven waited lon® enough to inquire the extent of ber siste' ship’sinjuries. For all that Capt. Ferguer~- son of the other ship knew, the Umbri might be foundering. The Gallia’s ac tion was inexplicable on any basis that anyone on board the Um bria could imagine, The passengers now were many of them genuinely alarmed. They did not place much fan in Engineer Tomlinson’s promise to wend the broken shaft and as many believed Capt. McKay had deliberately sent theGalila away, much dis- content was expressed. THE FINAL START. On Tuesday morning, for the first time since the Umbria left Liverpool the weather was fine and the sea smooth, conditions that existedi until the end of the voyage. Ne ver- theless Won 12 o’clock came and the ma- chinery was not started and the log informed the passengers that they had drifted twenty- two miles turther from the course, there was much murmuring and complaint. A notice was now posted to the effect that the steamer would start at 6:30 in the evening, and the passengers learned that the machinery had been moved during the night as an experi- ment and that one of the bolts Engineer Tomlinson had put into the thrust block had broken. This was not encouraging and the croakers were more anxious than ever; but about 4:30 o’clock the thrill of the engines was felt through the steamer and she worked off, ata slow rate of speed to be sure, but as Stanchly and steadily as if her driving ma- chines were intact. The drifting oi the Umbria and the short distance she was towed by the Bohemia brought her back nearly to the place where her machinery gave out. She came to a standstill in lat. 43.48 and long. 57.10, on Fri- day morning. When her machinery was started the next Tuesday night she had come back to lat. 42.30, long. 60. 00. On Wednesday noon she had made 159 miles, on Thursday noon her record was 224 miles for the pre- vious twenty-four hours, and from that time 2 yesterday noon she had covered 225 miles. The Umbria was boarded when she arrived off Quarantine Station by a reporter. The noble ship seemed none the worse for the experiences of the past week. She passed through the narrows and salled up the bay at slow spead, but with as much grandeur as though she had just broken a record instead ofashaft. Pilot Charles Peterson was on the bridge with Capt. McKay. It took only a few minutes for the health officer to learn that all were well on rd, and with Uncle Sam's revenue cutter clingip to one side the Umbria steamed up the bay. She was reeted on every side by a chorus of whistles rom tugs and steamers. Her passé s crowded her decks and waved bandkerchiefs at the passengers on other Crafts: , T 4 T.

At 2:80 p. m. the same day we signaled the Gallia, bound east. We signalled her to lay by and she did so fora time. As we also signalied her that we were making repairs and expected to proceed on our way. itis evident that she took that for | an assurance that we did not need her and she proceeded on her way. Some ot the pas sengers expressed disappointment at the action of the Gallia, as she left us before we had tested our machinery after repairs. In reference to having other steamers tow us, I would say that it was not towing weather when we needed assistance, and when the weather settled our repairs were complete and we did not need help. Fire Isl- and was abeam Friday at midnight. We signaled them and received no response. To- Gay at 3:30 a. m. we anchored off Sandy Hook lightship, and passed the hook at7:4la. m.

ROUTE TO THE MEDITERREAN MAPPED Or. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 31.—The success ofthe Hydographic Office of the Navy De- partment in inducing all the trans-Atlantic steamship companies to adopt and use the steamship routes from New York and Boston to Liverpool and Southampton laid down on the monthly pilot chart issued by the Navy Department has led Commander Clover to propose similar routes between New York and Gibraltar for the use of the constantly grow- ing fleet of steamers trading between the United states andthe Mediterranean ports. The North Atlantic pilot chart for January, which will be issued on Monday, will be ac- companied by a supplemental charton which the proposed routes are laiddown. Before finally adopting them and asking all vessels to conform to them the office asks forthe opinions of persons interested. ¢ There are many advantages in the use of fixed routes by steamships crossing the ocean. Chiefamongthem is the great re- duction in the llability to accident. In the routes already established to Liverpool and Southampton, and inthe proposed routes.to Gibraltar, the east bound routes are well to the southward of the west bound, Which ar- rangement operates to prevent \ col- lisions, just as a double track does in railroading. A captain canrun his vessel atahigh rate of speed even in thick weather, and be reasonably Sure that he wiH not meet another steamer coming in an opposite direction. As for the Salling vessels, their captains all know the exact location of the steamship routes and Are very careful to keep out of them, except when it becomes necessary to cross them. In case of accident, too, there is much greater chance of the en- Gangered. passengers being rescued the vessel is in the regular line of travel when the accident occurs. The captain of the ocean liner, who Is steam- ingin the regular route laid down on the pilot chart can, if his vessel is disabled, lay to, with almost an absolute certainty that he will be stghted in a few hours and all the necessary assistance given. It was due to the factthatthe Umbria wasin the regular west-bound route when she broke down that she was sighted by no less than three vessels in forty-eight hours, any one of which could have rendered any necessary assistance. Since these routes have been adopted there has not been a case in which a steamer in need of assistance had to wait any great length of time without being sighted and taken in tow by some other steamer. The hydrographic office proposes one eastward route from New York to Gibraltar for use at allseasonsoftheyear,. This follows the south- erly route from New York to Liverpool and Southampton until it reaches north latitude 41 deg., 40 min., and longitude 49 deg. west. This point is 1,138 mlles out from New York, and isthe point at which the Liverpool and the Southampton routes separate. From here the vessels bound for Gibraltar will go tothe southward of the Southampton route and will follow a great circle of the earth un- til they arrive off Cape St. Vincent, Portugal, 1,865 miles further on. From there to GIb- raltar is but 166 miles. sels coming west three different routes Are proposed. The shorter one Is for use during the six months from July 15 to Jan. 14, when there is little danger Ot encountering ice. It leaves Cape St. Vin- cent on a great circle whichis continued un- til the northern route from Liverpool is reached in latitude 43 longitude 60. From there to New York the route coincides with the Liverpool and Southampton routes. For theremaining six months of the year the great circle route from Cape St. Vincent runs to latitude 42 deg., 30 m., longitude 49, | where the southern routes from Liverpool and Southampton come together well tothe southward of the fogs and ice on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. An alternative westward route for all seasons of the year is proposed dy leaving Gibraltar on a course NEW For vos fongitude 8, is reached. the course is latd due miles to longitude 65, a northwesterly course is to be steered to New York. in this route all ea of keeping toa greatcircle is aban- doned, ahd itis over 350 miles longer than the other westerly routes. Notwithstanding these facts, however, most vessels will prob- ably find it the fastest of the three, forthe reason that in laying it down winds and ocean currents are taken into consideration, and by that Une vessels would not only avoid the westerly gales and head seas of the Northern routes but the Gulf Stream as well, and would have in their favor a decided ocean current for1,500 miles of the way. SEA ANCHORs. — — - = How THE DISABLED UMERIA WAS DISASTER. Mention is made in the telegrams of the use of the Umbria’s sea anchors. The manage- ment of ships that become disabled on the high seas is by no means an easy matter. Re- airs in the machinery are very ifticult to make when a ves- sel is pitching and tossing onthe waves, Ifasnip can come to anchor some degree of steadiness can be obtained, but there are few places on the Atlantic not in the immediate vicinity of land, where an anchor can be cast. o captain cates to cast anchor in more than thirty fathoms, and about sixty is regarded as the utmost limit. Sixty fathoms of water means atleast 100 fathoms of chain cable, and it is doubtful Hany cable of this length could hold a large ship, as its mere weight would bring such a strainonthe links as to leave buta slight Margin of strength available for hola: in the vessel in place. An ingenious substitute is sometimes used, the drag or sea anchor, as ft is called. The object of the drag is to keep the vessel's head to the wind and prevent.her from falling into the trough of tho sea. The anchor must have at and buoy- ancy, weight keep the vessei’s bow ip position, and buoyancy to float. It is therefore, usually constructed of heavy tim- pag Eg frequently weighted. The shape is that of a triangle. To the apex is fastened one or more heavy hawsers, and the sea anchor is then lowered to the Water, the other end of the hawser being made fast tothe bow of the vessel. A distance of at least a hundred yards should separate a posi 9 a large vessel, so that the Jon the hawser may be as nearly hor- sible. Whenever the begins to fall re heavy drag, not © the wind and moving slo water, Owing to its wedge up tothe wind. Of course SAVED FROM if” The Value of Rivers as Disinfectants Discussed. RESULT OF OBSERVATIONS MADE AT THE WATER-WORKS, Dr. D. V. Dean’s Lecture on the Effects of River Water as a Disinfectant— Some Important Tests ‘Made—Toxic Elements Not Readily Destroyed—How Danger May Be Avoided. A number of misapprehensions exist as to the effect of running water on sewage. Some claim that a very brief contact renders the sewage innocuous, while others hold the view that the disinfecting effect is exceed- ingly slow. As experts differ widely in this matter, the St. Louis Council of the Legion of Honor requested Dr. D. V. Dean to deliver a lecture on the subject. It is a subject of immense importance to St. Louisans, as the correct solution ef the problem will enable precautions tobe taken to keep the water supply pure. Dr. Dean has made a careful study of the subject, and accepted the mv!i- tation extended. ADDRESS OF DR. DEAN. e Dr. Dean read the following paper before the society: An invitation extended by Water Commissioner Holman to members of the St. Louls, Medical Society to visit, ex- amine and ork in the laboratory he is es- tablishing at the present water -works, re- sulted, as I understand it, in the appoint- ment of a committee whose duty was, in- cidentally only to visit and report upon the laboratory and its appliances, but mainly to examine and report upon the condition of the water at and near the Water-works and upon the sources, kind and quantity of contamina- tion from the regions surrounding and nearly immediately above the works—con- sidering, of course, the more remote regions drained by streams and their aMiuents, flow- ing, finally, to the river above the influx tower—and upon the sanitary or unsanitary influence of that district on the city. The community, I am satisfied, expects the committee to settle the question whether or not the city water supply is responsible for so much ofthe present prevalent disease as is really typhoid fever, or as has a causal and not casual connection with this fever, and, if it is responsible, whether the specific contamination comes wholly or in part from the regions surrounding the water-works and under the city’s jurisdiction. That the com- mittee will settle the latter feature of this problem afiimatively, I have little ex- pectation. That, instead of inciting a little spasmodic sidetaking, a little qguibbling Over the pros and cons, the labors of this committee may lead to such action by this society end by the medical profession other of the city, and to such an awakening ef the community at large as shall result in the complete wiping out of the Lowell sources of the contamination of our water supply, not only of those so plain that he whoruns may see and feel and smell and taste, but also of alldubious or probable sources, and this, even if irrespective of present sickness and of the possibile invasion of cholera, I sincerely hope. With some consciously, with others un: consciously, ours has been a long-suffering community under the flagrant nuisances this committee is now investigating. Per- haps few of the city’s present inhabitants have much knowledge of how tedious and protracted have been the efforts of the Health Department to abate these nuisances. A re- cital of these efforts would fill a good-sized volume, but the chronicles are buried in un- published court records or in municipal re- ports seen by fewand preserved by fewer. Some excerpts from my own past work may serve to give an inkling of what the city has borne so long, to show thatthe present con- dition isa continuation of that of the past and to point the statement that the toler- ance ot many years has decome a sinof de- linguency against a permanent population of halia million and a transient population much larger. June 1, 1872, twenty anda half years ago, when I was city chemist and microscopist, 1 reported tothe Board of Health as follows: Ihe Dairy Inspector graphically describes the numerous dairies, interspersed with the bone-burning, Slue- making. dead-animal and fat-rendering estabiishments on Gin- grass Creek and Horse Creek in Lowell. The stench of this locality is represented dy those living many blocks away as being intolerable even at that distance. The Health Officer’s reports show that the mass of excre- mentitious and other matter lit- erally ling these stagnant so- called ‘creeks, writhes and seethes with tumultuous life andthe visible bubbling of gases. The Mayor and President (Joseph Brown) of your honorable board, satated at one ofits meetings last year, that this was the worst place in these respects he ever saw.“ Over nineteen years ago I reported, ‘‘on Aug. 8, at aboutthetime the periodical ex- acerbation of the Lowell stench had passed its acme, I procured two ounces of water, condensing the moisture of the alr at a large bone-burning establishmentin that part of the city, and examined it, from to time, microscopically in com- parison with air obtained in the same way back of my dwelling-house, and with hydrant-water as well as with water con- densed in and wrung from towels wrapped around the outer part of my condenser at the bone- black establishment. After the first day the water first mentioned swarmed with infusoria, especially vorticellz, and with vibriones, and so tor months; while the air and hydrant-water from my own premises contained butafew paramecia and the like after long standing, the hydrant-water yield ing mostly dlatoms instead. The water wrung from the towels became putrid, and the towels bore odor of Lowell for more than two weeks. I could only rid my hair and clothing of the odor by special effort, Yet there are many dairies in this district, and much of the milk supplied to the city stands here twelve or more hours for the creamtorise before bothare distributed to our families. I need. not again emphasize how cream, as well as other olls, absorbs perfumes and odors, and bow milk is an especially favorable soil for putrefactive processes, though I may be pardoned if, be- fore I come tothe subject of milk, I suggest, ifstrangers hold their noses while passing through this part of the city by railroad, whet shall we think of milk and cream that have rankled twelve to twenty hours in this stench?’’ In the year 1873-4, nineteen and eighteen years ago, I made a careful examination of water from the mouth of Gingrass Creek and from the eddy in the river, twenty feet below the mouth of the creek, and also, at three several times, from the iInflux-well, the clear- well and, as far as was practicable, from four different places in the river, taking the river at its worst, medium and best. I had assistance, provided by Col. Flad, President of the Board of Public Improvement, in ob- taining the water, which was taken as fol- lows: ug. 21. 1873, 500 feet above the mouth of am ass Creek; 500 feet belo» the mouth of Gin, ass Creek; from the influx-well; the clear-w U; at the foot of Market street and 200 feet below Mill Creek sewer. The temperature of the water when obtained was 32 C. and the stage of the river was 9 feet inches. City Engineer’s standard. Dec. 22, 1873, 300 feet above the mouth of Gingrass Creek; 300 feet below the creek from the same two wells at foot of Market street, and 500 feet below Mill Creek Sewer; temperature, 1.1 C., staxe 9 feet7 inches. May 29, 1874, near mouth of Gingrass Creek and from the two wells—Temperature, 30 C. : river, 12 feet 6inches. June 6, 1874, foot of Market street and 600 feet below Mill Creek Sewer—Temperature, %0 C.; river, lifeet. The mouth of Gingrass Creek was then said to be one and a half miles above the inflax-tower, and was dry atthe time water was obtained, May 29. The water from the river and wells was examined, doth filtered and unfiltered, for permanent, tempo. rary and total! hardness; flitered and unfiltered, for solid residue, inorganic, organic and total; for sus- nded matter. for nitrites; and unfiltered or free ammonia, albuminoid ammonia and total ammonia.

As even the ammonia admits of con- centration, 1 100 milligramme may be de- tected in two litres of water,!.e.,one part in 200,000,000. Asa high degree of purity for potable water is .03 milligramme per litre it may be seen this wonderful test Is — — will not of course give the extended fig- ures of this examination; but as the micro- scopical examination, exclusive of the bacte- riological, yields now, as then, litte of im- portance, and as the commentary on my analyses will not infringe on the present chemist’s report, but may serve for com- parison and help in the argument fora purer water supply—for the removal of proven sources of water contamination—I will quote the running remarks on the examination: ‘The water taken directly from the river was obtained about as far from the shore as the influx tower is from which the water-works supply comes. The water from the influx well runs directly to the settling reservoirs, where it stands from six to thirty-six or more hours, according to time and need (in the case, Dec. 22, forty-three hours—in the other two cases unfortunately, I do not know), when it goes tothe clear or distrib- uting well, the surplus going to the surplus reservoir at Compton Hill. The settling reservoirs are filled about every third day in summer and fourth day in winter, and are cleaned in summer about every two weeks, and in winter when mild weather permits. The surplus well has never been cleaned. „Some of the figures in the table seem somewhat discrepant; but, as the analysis was made with care. 1 prefer letting them stand for themselves to making any attempt at explaining away seeming inconsistencies, especially as there are so many conditions and circumstances to be taken Into consider- ation. In comparing water from the two wells, it must be noticed that the water ex- amined from theclear wellis not from the water running at the same date into the in- flux well. Hence the difference, in two cases, of .02 grains per gallon more of chlorides in the clear — than in the influx well on the same date is not so absurd, if one were sensi tive about admitting so small an error of experiment; and so with the disparity of the solid residue, as that of the organicmat- ter, Dec. 22, after filtering. The gain by fil- tering—at least through paper—instead of settling, appears to be very slight, although the water is improved still more by fitra- tion after subsidence. The water 18 im- proved in nearly every respecc by subsid- ence. The free carbonic acid retains the lime carbonate in solution, and when it disappears some of the lime carbonate deposits, and with it much of the organic matter,. the coloring matter at the same time disappearing. The hardness is very materially diminished, and the water is moderately soft and economica! for domestic purposes. The degrees of hardness tn the table do not express the quantity of soap destroyed, but the quan- tity of ume carbonate, or its equivalent of other salts, which destroys soap. The water is not abnormally charged with chlorine, taking other waters as standards, though the chlorine is considerably increased below the influx tower, probably from sewage. Though the presence of nitrites does not necessarily indicate previous sewage contamination, nor their absence, absence of such contamina- tion, still the small amount present cannot be construed unfavorably. The showing for ammonia is, unfortunately, not so favor- able. According to Wanklyn’s standard all drinking water may be required to be of such a degree of purity as not to yield more than 0.0056 grains of albumenoid ammonia per gallon of water. If not in this state natur- ally all water that is to be used for drinking purposes ought to be filtered till it becomes so. Possibly a very high degree of purity— say 0.0021 grains albuminold ammonia per gallon—will be generally attainable without unreasonable trouble. Whatever may be yet further accomplished in the way of improv- ing the waterworks supply after it is brought from the influx-tower in the river, as by filters, more settling reservoirs, more frequent cleansing of the reservoirs, protection from dust, etc., itis evident that the river will be worse, as a source ofsupply, and never better, so long as it is made the receptacie of all the sewage and other Mfith along its course. The joint use of a small body of still water as a receptacle of sewage end source of drinking water is abhorrent to all It is only because of the magnitude and motion of the stream that the mixture in our river loses so much of repulsivenpess that many give it no thought. NOT PURIFIED BY MIXTURE. But the statement so long current that a mixture of one part sewage to twenty of water will clear itself in running twelve miles has been proven incorrect. The Rivers Commission in England has shown that in such a mixture the sewage is not de- stroyed in running 160 miles. Dilution of sewage is not purification. By sufficient di- lution, simple toxic agents may be rendered harmless; but diffusing enteric fever, choleraic, or other zymotic germs, does not destroy them; they remain animate, pro- lific matter, ready to disseminate disease wherever a suitable medium or nidus and field are found. However healthy St. Louis may be now, ourefforts should to make her more 80, and the pollution of her chief source of water supply should be well guard- ed against. Although some long for the mix- ture as it used to be served from the old water-works, or even unsettled from the river, it must be evident, to the unpreju- diced, that under the present system. not to menption the important consideration of the matter taken into our stomachs, the re- lief to our health and comfort from the silt and geine, formerly deposited on our streets and premises through sprink- ling carts and other agencies, and after- wardcarried into the air, is far from upim- —. de microscopic contents of a imited area of water may be largely read from the microscopic material, mineral, vegetable or animal, with which it comes in contact.

Much of the microscopic flora and fauna may be invaluable in de- stroying harmful organic matter—some kinds take up organe matter, as some Species of Beggiatoa take up sulphur—and may be harmless itself except from its own decompositioa at death, Its presence may have no hygienic import further than it demoastrates the presence of deleterious matter on which the organisms live. Others may, in their career, produce material from this pabulum, injurious to some Kinds of higher animal life or to man, or may retain their vitality, until they reach by air or water, their higher hosts in which they may do great harm. The amount of the ultimate diffusion of these inhabitants of the water, their retention of life and activity and the like, in given places down a great stream like the river from which our water supply is taken, are gov- erned by conditions innumerable. Difference in climate, in temperature, in motion or stagnation of the water, tn the relative quan- tity of material of tne proper character in so- lution or suspension on which the flora and fauna may thrive, precludes such absolute inferences for the water—as we obtain it for our supply—as we are able to make at sep- arate points, Uke the one used in this illus- tration from Maline Creek; excepting, of course, conclusions from such matter as come to it from distances so small or under conditions so favorable as to leave no doubt. I think. therefore, that the proper examina- tion ofa great water supply of a city like ours, and from such tremendous distances, should, like meteorological observations, be conducted at least daily. The laboratory statistics, then, at our water-works might in a few years, in connec- tion with other municipal and health Statistics, prove of great value. In the water examined by me from the influx-tower and the wells atthe water- works, there is, in proportion to the bulk of the water, a great paucity, numerically, of the organisms found in Gingrass Creek; and those found were, at my examination, in the resting stage, from which, however, they will awake in due course.of time,and of stag- nation of the water. The water from the creek named contains, besides its decompos- ing organic matter, myriads and myriads of infusoria, but, so far as present examination shows, confined almost entirely to a few species, amceva difiucus, chilomofuas par- amccium and vorticella microstoma. This beautiful infusorium may here be seen in its equally beautiful and various modesof multiplication. Thespecial home of these ciliated organisms is in water containing a large quantity of organic mat- terin solution. There is no doubt of the further appearance of species in this water by standing. But it is well Known that many of these microscopic inhabitants of water live their generation and die ot or go into a state of rest, to be folluwed by different species inthe same way, and then appear again themselves in proper season under favorable conditions. Members of micro- scopic flora and fauna of our water supply, with which I have long been somewhat fa- miliar, are not very limited in number or kind; but the present time proves not very favorable for their presence or demonstra- tion.’’ HIGH-PRICED EXPERIENCE. He Knew That the Modest Hat Was Best, But Faid for His Learning. From the Detroit Free Press. ‘*Experience,’’ said young Mr. Rusher, is the teacher that I best like to pay. That was several weeks ago. Last Wednesday Mrs. Rusher went down town to buy a hat. Like a dutiful little wife that she is, she went around to her husband's office and asked for an expression of his taste. ‘*‘Come,’’ said he, we'll look at some of the windows and I’ll show you whatd like,’’ By and by they stood where a sign an- nounced that Paris ,bonnets’’ and London nats were on sale. The young married pair looked over the display. ‘‘ITwant a nice hat, said Mrs. Rusher, but not an expensive one, she pointed toa pretty thing with a profu- sion of red flowers and some rich-looking trimming on it. In her innermost soul she thought it a cheap-looking affair, but for the sake of econ- omy she would foregoa better one. In his innermost soul he thought it horribly ex- travagant, and then he said: pont you think, dear, that that isa trifie loud for one of your delicate senses and re- fined appearance?’’ She murmured something of thanks. „„es, he went on, 1 must say that I don't like a hat of that sort. Now, over there—that big one with the plumes and one red rose—there’s simplicity for ou. In his innermost heart hefelt mean, for in reality the hat looked cheap to him. Mrs. Rusher only said: Very well, dear, your taste shall prevail.“ And 80 they parted, Mrs. Rusber nd for her milliner’s; Mr. Rusher speedily and gaily headed for his office. It was two weeks before he got the bill. In the meantime he had come to like the hat immensely. Then the young husband found ate letter awaiting him at the office. Here it Is: PARIS BONNETS.

That piece of felt is very nue and those flowers are imp—’’ „Mrs. Rusher,’’ the young man sad, ‘*‘what was the ce of that other hat? It you must know, Legal, dear, smt.ed the sweet little wife; n was a hold-over, marked down to $7.98.’’ In a little book that Mr. Legal Rusher keeps he has lately added this jtem: **ExXperience in millinery, 528.82.

(To those wishing a sitting.) YOUR FUTURE 2 eie ee MRS. DR. EMERS N. the quoen trance clairvoy- ant of the Atlantic Coast. Asking noquestions, tells the full names of her callers, with full name of future husband or wife, with age — date of mar- singe. and tells Whether the one you love is true or alse All professions have their frauds and humbugs, and thatof clairvoyance and mediumship is no ex- ception. In fact, it has been and is used in many in- stances as a cloak for other less reputable business, and strangers are often at a loss to know where they may venture. Those whoarein doubt are respect- fully informed that a call on the Madame will satisfy the most scrupulous. Ladies may visit her without the least fear of unpleasant surroundings, and gen- tlemen will not lose their self-respect by paying her a call. She may be consulted on all matters of busi- ness or domestic life, lawsuits, losses, wilis, lega- cles, stocks, speculation, absent friends, etc. Busi- ness examination a specialty, All eommunications strictly confidential. Mrs. Emerson Is No Dime Museum Freak or Fake, So do not throw your money away on such frauds, Fortune tellers are PUT IN JAIL in the old countries and are classed in some as BURGLARS, THIKVES an ROBBERS, while spiritualism isa beautiful religion and lived up to by its followers. It is a fact that since this medium’s settlement here, her advertisements have been copied by per- sons, presumably without brains, or too ignorant to write their own. Look out for their fraulent adver- ti-ements, as they cannotdo any part of what they claim. THIS MEDIUM stands as high above the com- mon mediums in this city, as the President above the ragpicker, while her charges for the truth are the same as other mediums charge for faisehoods, A PROOF that this medium is the best medium this eity ever sawis the fact that, while other me- — ims loaf around the house waiting for callers this edium is never idle, always having more than she oan attend to and is even compelled to send some away. THE DAT Lot the fraudulent mediums are nearly over, although there are scores of unprincipled women who, under the guise of clairvoyance, As- trology, fortune telling, etc., lead people to believe that they can fore ell the future, There is 80 much humbuggery connected with their business that it is hard to tell, from outside appearances, the genuine from the fraudulent. Co avoid being imposed upon foilow these rules: CARD FORTUNE TELLERS. — When you teller pulls and spreads the time for fortune cards is the pack of enter a house and out an old greasy them on the table, then you to get up and walk out. Do not let her scare you, she cannot} urt you, If you ston to think you will say: What under heavens has an old pack of cards got to do with my destiny? Don't let them fool you ANOTHER KIND of fortune tellers are those who profess to tell by iookingintoacrystal. If you ere to lock into the crystal nothing could be seen. PALM READEKS. —Theyvy are pienty: but they are frauds of the rankestkind. They could not pre- dict an event to sare their lives.

YOU WILL NOTICE that, since this medium’s advent, the other mediums advertise to give names. They cannot doit, enly by sleight-of-hand or fraud. NOW HERE .83 A GENUINE TRANCE ME- DIUM, one whom the spirits control. A medium who has no tomfoolery about her business whatever. TKANCE MEDIUM IP is the only true way of predicting the past and future of persons’ lives. By this wonderful this medium is controlled by of spirits, who accurately foretell what is coming, It is only in very rare cases that you will find mediums who are fully developed, so they can go into a trance, though many pretend to who only make a miserable failure. THis MEDIUM offers achallenge of 55.000 to any medium or fortune-teller who can excel her in her wonderful revelations of the past, present or future events of persons“ lives.

No cracke! foolishness, No roundabout trickery, but the assurance and fearless assertion that she fs here to do the people good and do an honor to the irre- proacbable cause of CLAIRVOYANCE. She is here to convince you that Clairvoyance is not a 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 MEDIUMSHIPin al! its phases has been too often dragged in the mire by persons of large presumptions and little conscience, who though they do hot possess the precious jewels themselves, flash the worthless thing thatis a poor imitation in the face of the public and sell it for the highest penny—which act, before man and a higher tribunal, is a flaring hypocrisy and unlicensed theft. Be deluded, if you will, by high-sounding, unin telligible phrases, which confound themselves b their own contradiction, be misied by trashy stuff called ‘‘science,’’ and which does not understand itself. All science isa problem, the hilosophy of which interprets itself. Any sc lence the expounder of which does not understand it herself or himself, is an accuser to the expounder, is a take, a catch —anything. Mme. Moss unites the se parat- ed, brings lovers together, locates mines, hidden treasures, lost or stolen articles, causes speedy marriages, ete. 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 anew person, knowing what is good and best for you, and in possession of the secret of your love, life and success.

It seems odd that this idea have been recently adopted by sci- for the practical and unromantic pur- nts of the ocean. ‘This work is the newest that has deen un- . vy the Hydrographic Office of the United States Navy. Within the last two years it has distributed tens of thousands of ‘‘bottle 3 . papers among the 2,500 skippers of sea-go- ing vessels, from sailing craft to Atlantic 7 i ~ Mners, who contribute reports as voluntary * N day. Thooner Fred B. Taylor fairly in ts ro, the ters, _ Observers in exchange for supplies of pilot charts, etc., given by the Government. These bottle papers are printed forms which the observers are requested to tnclose in bottles and throw over „ after marking upon each of them ‘the latitude, longitude and date. On each paper is separate spuce inwhich the person who may find the bottle is asked to write the date and locality, afterwards forwarding the pa- Per to the nearest United States Consul or to the Hydrographic’ Office at washington. Directions as to these matters are printed on the paper in several langueges. Up tothe t time 261 of the bottle papers thus scattered broadcast havebeen returned, but thousands of them are still afloat, and of these a considerable percentage will be picked up sooner or later. Of course it is im- ble toknow how many of those placed the hands of observers have been duly Dottied and launched. The courses taken by the bottles in drift- ing tells the story of the ocean currents, and knowledge of these is ofthe utmost import ance tomariners. Chiefly it is valuable for enabling vessels to select such routes across the seas as will make it possible for them to take advantage of favoring streams and to avold unfavorable ones. Columbus knew nothing about the currents of the Atlantic and so he made his way tothe New Worid bya th which the surface driit laid out for him. us, after being driven far to the south ward, he fnally brought up at San Salvador. Knowing where he started from and the point at which he finally arrived, hydro- grapbers to-day can draw a curved line on the map showing exactly the course which he must have followed. Just at this time such afact possesses no little interest. Only a few months agothe Hydrographic Office was upon to determine the probable loca- on of a Pacific Mall steamship which was lost in the Pacific Ocean. Her machinery having broken Gown, as ported bya vessel which had sj] er, she had drifted off and nothing been heard of her =p weeks. The Pacific Mail Co. being unable to nd her, appealed to the experts at Wasn ington, who pointed out the exact spot where she would be discoverea. Andshe was found there, 600 miles west of where the own- ers had been looking for her. This was fg wred out from known facts respecting the tion and velocity of the currents in that great waste of waters, In important part of the business ofthe rographic Office is the laying of tracks the ocean. They are none theless mds, because they are markedggith ary lines instead oftronralls. W'thin st few weeks the experts have been Called on to lay out a route for steamers direct from Baltimore tothe Mediterranean, Iwo roads were required—one to goand the @ther to come back by. ‘he road eastward had to be far north of the return path in order to take udvantage of the favoring cur- rents each way. The tracks of the great Atiantic liners between the United States and Great Britain are as accurately made Out and followed as if they were built on land, the winter track being some die- tance south of the summer track be- cause of icebergs. Over these watery roads the ocean greyhounds travel at the rate of moderately Yast rallway trains, the max!i- mum attained by the City of Paris being about twenty three miles an hour. The tracks going and coming are forty to sixty m “apart, and the pilot charts warn sall- ing vessels to avoid them, just as wagons are cautione to keep off the railr oads. For these wilt steamships do not stop for fog or any- thing. but keep on at fuli speed night and Last summer one of them cut the . ®tter being on the track, one 90 oF ne way and the other nait ther noating ray. dome of the bottied papers seiTie | by tne Prince of Monaco floated for mo 8 years before they were picked up. 8 highn?ss, who isan enthusiast in»... 5 ‘devoted much attention to experi- men f this kind, For the purpose of study- ing thé surface currents ot the Atlantic, he launched from ™‘s unn yacht in 1885 and 1886 a great number ‘floats, consisting of wooden casks, copper ves and glass bot- tlas. All orf them were veighted to prevent any of them from being out of the water tech the wind, the object being to deter- mine the drift. He finally determined that the best float for the purpose wasa thick glass bottle coated with pitch and covered over this with copper. Of such bottles he launched 931 in tho year 1887, m a Une stretching fromthe Azores to the s of Newfoundland. Each of t contained a document in nine lan- guages, asking the finder to record on it the locality and date of discovery and to forward it to the nearest maritime authorities. Ot all the bottle papers thus distributed he got ‘back 227, some of them bringing up in Ice- land, others on the west coast of Africa, otbers on the shoresof America, and fourteen astaraway as Japan. The Prince has pub- lished which show most interestingly the course taken by the Atlantic currents as by the bottles, It has long been known that the waters of the Atiantic Ocean area sort of Whirlpool on a gigantic scale, the central point of which ts a short distance to the southwest of the Azores. Just as in the case of an atmos- pheric cyclone, there exists in the middle of this aqueous vortex a region where the fluid of the sea has scarcely any motion, so that bottles or other floating objects entering it are apt toremain there indefinitely, sinking finally tothe bottom, For miles thereabout the surface of the sea is covered With what Is commonly known as ‘‘gulf-weed,’’ large areas of it having the appearance of a drowned meadow, on which one might im. agine it possible to walk. This enormous veg.: Stable accumulation was formerly supposed to be made up of plants tornaway by the gulf stream from the shores of the Balamas and Florida, but it is now Known that the weed gro and propagates while freely floating on the water. It teems with multi- tudinous forms of life. Not least interesting ot the myriad creatures which inhabit it ace certain curious nest-building fishes. They 22 arm-like forefins, with which they cling weed, making their nests by binding globular masses of it us big as po 1 This they accomplish by jong gelatinous strings, which form for the purpose, finally depositing aoe center of the sphere thus weed itself is; * by 4 with air, which serve as Noats. crabs swarm in the weed, and las the fishes are colored yellow , like the weed itself, for „ fer similarly buten moans eter d of finding out about the surface cur- | On the bottom of the ocean, beneath this vast field of weed fAlled with mals living and dying, an immiese deposit of animal and vegetable remains must be gradually form- ing. Should that part of the floor of the sea be upheaved at some future time by volcanic action, it would furnish mines of manure sufficient to fertilize the farms of the world, Supposing that it were possible economically to fetch to Europe or America great quanti- ties of this water plant which now floats use- less, it would be enormously valuable asa fertilizer. Many ‘‘derelicts’’—i, e., deserted and waterlogged vessels—find their way into the Sargasso Sea, where they float about fora long time and finally break up or sink. An important feature of the work of the Hydro- graphic Office is the finding of such dangers to navigation, the approximate locations of which are plotted monthly on the pilot charts distributed to skippers. Four years ago great alarm was felt on account of a gigantic raft of logs which went adrift south of Nantucket. It was composed of 27,000 trunks of trees from 50 to 100 feet long, bound with tron into a cigar-shaped mass 560 feet long and weighing 11,000 tons. It was con- structed in Nova Scotia, starting from the Bay gf Fundy for New York in tow. The hawsers parted in a hurricane, leaving the raft in the direct track of commerce. The biggest of the ocean greyhounds on striking such an obstruction would have gone down at once with all on board. Two Government steamers and a tug started at once in pursuit of the paft, which had luckily been broken up by the storm, the remnants of it being found scattered overa wide space about 100 miles southeast of the point where it was lost. For some time it was imagined that the floating logs might do damage, but, though many vessels encountered them, no harm resulted. This would have been the most dangerous derelict ever knowntf the raft had held to- gether. Vessels which come under this de nomination are most commonly laden with lumber or some other light cargo, so that they do not sink, but merely become water. logged, floating about dismasted with decks on a level with the water, so that it is very difficult to see them in time to avoid them. Continually drifting, there is no telling when ana where they will be encountered, and a collision with such an obstacle is very apt to mean total wreck. Ships often sail away and are never heard from again, though there has been no storm, and in such cases they are reported ‘‘miss- ing, the likelihood always being that they have met with some such accident as this, against which even the best navigator can- not guard. So serious has been this peril that it has been proposed that the nations should divide the oceans into districts, each one keeping its own district clear. The most extraordinary derelict ever heard of was the bargue Marie Celeste, which was found in the middie of the Atlantic de- serted, with every sail set, dinner half- cooked in the galley, and not a soul on board, though she had every appearance of having been occupled immediately before. The weather was falr and there was a gentle breeze. She was towed into port, but no ex- planation of the mystery has ever offered itself. One of the uses of studying the sur- face currents of the seas is for the tracking of derelicts. Often, when a very dangerous one is located, a steamer is sent out to blow it scy-high with explosives. Before many years have passed there willl be adopted a regular system for making pre- dictions of weather on the ocean, based upon observations at stations in different parts of the Atlantic. It is not practicableto con- struct reliab'e forecasts for that vast waste of waters from data obtained on its shores. Therefore it is proposed that observatories shall be established on the Bermudas, the Azores, the Canaries and Cape Verde Isiand, allof which are already or will soon be con- nected with the continents by telegraphic cable. Excepting the Bermudas, ail of these islands have localities sultable for high-level observatories. There are mountains in the Azores a mile and a half high; in Madeira, a mile high; in Teneriffe, two miles high, and on the Cape Verde Isi- and of Fogo there is a peak a mile and three- quarters high. Observations taken from Fogo would be particularly valuable, because itis near the tropics and on the parallel where most ofthe important cyclones that traverse the Atlantic are generated. The observatories will be equipped with instru- ments for noting the first appearance, nature and progress of disturbances, and the Intelil- gence thus secured will be transmitted to the mainiand in time to give warning of coming storms. In this way the destruction of shipping along the coasts by unexpected hurricanes will be to a great extent pre- vented. The fact Is interestin g to contemplate that, if the entire surface ofthe earth were made level, the whole globe would be covered with water toa depth of two miles. The average depth of the oceans at present is three miles. Perhaps the best way to get a notion of what such a depth signifies isto think of a place three miles distant on the surface of the earth and to imagine the horizontal line con- neéting one’s self with that place swung downward tothe perpendicular. The deep- est hole in any of the oceans is found just east of Japan, where the bottom sinks toa depth of five anda quarter miles below the surface. The voyageron the famous expe- dition of the Challenger found that it took an hour and a quarter for the heavy sounding weight to sink tothe bottom of this mighty chasm.

All the worthy women who wear funereal brooches made of the portraits of departed friends set in narrow bands of gold will re- joice to hear that the same affectionate style of adornment is affected by Queen Victoria. The number of miniatures with which she testifies to her family affection is no less than thirty-three. They are pictures of her grandchildren, taken in infancy or early youth and mounted in three bracelets. Each picture is set in a narrow frame of gold, and in one bracelet set in pearls and coral, the size of the settings varies from one-half to three-quarters of an inch. These thirty-three royal infants look de- lightfully like any other thirty-three well- cared tor babies.

It has always been my gréewsome fortune to make the passage by | night and in storm. It is pleasant surely from the time our train leaves the grim London house-tops, all the way in the evening gloaming through the lovely chire of Kent, but the roar of the sea is always louder upon the great stone quays than the din of our fast night mail, as we rush in upon quaint old Dover town. j A moment at the station, and then we creep along the docks and come alongside the royal mail steamer; hustled out of our wheeled, half-lighted cells and driven like unwilling cattle down the slippery descent and up over the gangway which seesaws with desperate suggestions of danger, and are finally hauled aboard the rocking craft like the faint-hearted landlubbDers we are. ‘*First.class aft! second-class for 4!“ Sorting us like sheep, we are at last hud- died aboard the Foam! - most appropriate name, for even here at the docks the sea is so wild that its spume is dashed over us; the luggage and continental mail are somehow taken on; and, with a great lurch from which the steel-ribbed though diminutive and shell-like craft only recovers to be hurled violently in another direction, our steamer fairly began its ricocheting across the chan- nel. Behind us, nestled in one of the most charming ravines in all England, is ancient Dover town, with its lights winding away to the westward and blinking from the sides of the cliff; while the great Dover Light-house flames out upon the channel and brings into weird outlines the stupendous castellated fortifications upon mighty Dover Heights. You are instantly plunged into the plain, old-fashioned misery of sea-sickness. You do not go in-doors, for all those nite people who must be quite as used to a channel dont as a ferry would surely notice you Wers de coming ill. On the other hand, all the ter- rors of the deep and of approaching physical helplessness are resultant from your en- forced acrobatic feats upon deck. Between humiliation apd possible death, in sheer desperation you choose disgrace. Your hand is upon the cabin door, but seems palsied. No, you will geek the second-class cabin, ‘‘for’d,’* They will be less critical there. Its door ts Dut fifty feet away, but where is Braver pilgrimage than this? It seems an age until you have been able to throw yourself down the winding stairway into the strange, triangular cabin below. Ugh! the odor of the place, its subtle dread and subtler qualms will always possess you whenever your crossing of the English Chan- nel returns as a ateful blot upon your memory. Under the stairway, from bebind a eres. cent-shaped bar, two Tom Thumb like tiny old boys, attired like men-of-war’s men, are dispensing liquors and ales at a lively rate. Every male iu the cabin is smoking, some at the same time munching food at the sloppy lunch table, where the dishes click and slip with a greasy erind with the lurching of the vessel. Through the noxious vapors, and as if far away and in an oppressive dream, you see, at either side of the cabin and in (iers, each beyond and slightly higher than another, in amphitheater form of arrangements, capa- cious bunks, Each is provided with a leather incased cushion, a serge-covered pillow and a sunken cuspidor; and nearly all of these bunks are occupied by men and women in every imaginable attitude of human suffer- ing, orof preparation against torturing ex- perience. Over there is a party of Americans, evi- dently an entire family. They are cursing everything outside of America, and strug- gling with each other as their physical con- vulsions increase. Beyond are several friars in brown and gray, perhaps from some of the French clolsters beyond Amiens, sober and grave in their rough habit and cowls, bear- ing their misery with wonderful fortitude, Opposite are stolid commercial travelers, Silent Jews, and Frenchmen full of antics in their torture, with Frenchwomen, graceful! and pretty even in this most remorselessly leveling ot all human ills, an English Chan- nel sea-sickness. 7 The horrible alr and scenes of this cabin force you withothers back upon the deck, where the steamer’s railat one side catches you in its banging erip to hurl you to the iron netting embrace ofthe other. There is no escape. All bravery, resolution and su- preme will power are ot no avall. You recall in an ecstasy of hopelessness that no chan- nel steamer was ever lost. With this thought all possibility of relief is abandoned, Fora good hourevery aspiration and ambition of life is swept away. You grovel and slide and stop as limpasa strand of cold macaron! upon the night mail steamer’s deck; for utter ex- haustion has come. Butat last the bracing storm which has whipped the channel into foam pounds new life into you. Thesalt spray dashes into your faceand revives you. You crawl to where the four grim wheelmen are, for iu the cut. ting wind there is a faint odor ofthe land. The chief wheelman comforts you with: ‘*‘Doan’t mind it, mon. The best there be doan’t be able to stand on their legs here- about Away to the right is now seen the light at the French cape of Griz Nez. Soon your steamer begins skirting the coast. Here and there are glintings and glimerings of light from the coastwise villages, where the late revelor via is being kept. The pier - head light at Calais grows and glows. Over the looming quay where the sea plays mad havoc isa continuous wreathing of flashing phos- phorescence. Speedily now your steamer literally gallops into port. Here at one side are the fantastic fishing craft and the bellying ‘‘lighters,’’ At the other, as the bedraggled passengers crowd to the gangway opening, are rows of French porters, bowing and scraping and chattering glibly, The weird cressets flare over the picture strangely, anda flavor of decaying, saity things, of half digested cognac and of penetrating garlic, is over all. And what a din is there! With aswash anda bump the ‘‘Storm’’ is finally made fast. Then the perilous mid- night ascent to the docks, the keen-eyed customs Officers, the skirmishes and more serious engagements with porters, the cries of the guards, the miserable entanglements and wild-eyed sorties, and finally, the mad haste tothe different trains for Paris, for Viehna and for Berlin. In half an hour everything bas come to rights; you have with an hundred ‘‘pardons!’’ and ‘‘remercies!’’ been hustled into one carriage only to de hustied wut of this into another; and at last you are locked tightly within one which has got you safely for a little time. Then. certain of still Deing all wrong, the train moves away fromthe docks; weaving and swaying past where red-shirted French 5 remercie! **Pardonnez moi!’’ ‘fitted to the staccato of the wheels upon the rails; ever after carried in the memory like infernal realization of witeh - waned rgis Night. There is a great distinction between British „ tipping' and American ‘‘tipping’’ in Great Britain. Your true Briton tips“ with something like unconscious kindliness. We Americans whotravel in Europe bestow our gratuities largely, Joosely, loudly, as though we were either defying criticism or resenting petty brigandage. Quite as striking a difference will be found in the disposition of all British serving peo- ple in their acceptance of tips“ from Briton or foreigner. They often seem bullies to us, because our manner arouses their antagonism or cupidity, or both. But they are veritable lambs to their own folk, and the Englishman, who is the greatest of travelers in his own country, will leave a shining tral! of grati- tude and good will behind him by the jual- cious use of copper only, when we perforce follow in perturbation and discomfort, though we spangle our way with silver. I have seen the English side of this fact fllustrated on countiess occasions. Only recently while waiting fora London train at the great Rugby Station, a handsome, portly, venerable gentleman alighted from the car- riagé ofa train from Coventry. A porter hastened to his assistance and conducted himto a comfortable seat next the door where I stood. Then he struggled with the luggage. There were altogether sixteen parcels. Four were huge leather hand-bags, each of the size and weight of a marketable Limerick pig. They were all finally tidily pied alongside the distinguished traveler. The latter’s hand went into his pocket where there was apparently much coin, and surely, Ithought, it will reappear with at least 1 shilling, possibly with a crown. I could not help seeing it was only a ha penny. But the bland and perteet grace with which it was bestowed, and the momentary, half-conscious look of attention and sympathy, which accom- panied it, were what filled me with amaze- ment and admiration. The porter, still blow- ing from exertion, touched his cap with a sort of humility, and said ‘‘Thankee, sir!’ ma tone of positive gratitude. In re- sponsetomy own ‘‘thripenny bit’’ and an inquiry who the gentleman that ‘‘tipped’’ with half pennies micht be, the porter an- swered heartily : nnn Wy, ees the Earl of —. worry One man ee is, sir. What am excellent courier he would make!’’ I could mot help thinking and say- ing. ‘*‘Doan’t knowasto that, sir, replied the porter, admiringly; ‘*but ee’s a Kerry fine man, sir; werry good un to ee’s people.“ One of the sweetest lassies in u Scotland, one of the best mothers and on@vf the sturdi- est of fathers, are dear friendsof mine at Dumfries, Scotiand. The lassie is Jean Armour Burns Brown. Her mother ts tlie daughter of the oldest and best-beloved of Robert Burns’ sons, Robert Burns, Jr., who was himself a true poetanda manof pro- found intellectual attainment. This mother and dauguter are the immortal bard's near- est living relatives. The home is modest and plain, but rich in love, sentiment and the most priceless of human sympathies, and I have long since come to love this truly lov- able Scottish home for the manhood, woman- hood and purity that dwell within it. They are not rich people these—uot even folk of moderate means; but there isa true nobility ig thelr ever fine and lofty inde- pendence which honors the memory of the bard whose fame bestowed no little honor upon them. Some one conceived the idea of constructing a duplicate of the ‘*Burns cot- tage at Ayr, in which the poet was born, for exhibition at the World’s Fair. This was all well enough. Then some fertile mind, devoid of sensitiveness or sentiment, further conceived. This little family must be coralled, lassoed and herded in the Burns cottage,’’ to be catalogued, labeied and gazed at, like a kaffir band, a two-headed calf, or the wild Australian children, by millions of World’s Fair visitors. A United States Consul in Scotland has just broken the hilarious news of what was expected of them to these reputable descendants of Robert Burns in Dumfries; and the gentle but dig- nified reply he has received will undoubtedly be omitted from his forthcoming consulate memoirs to be entitled Rifts in the Mists of Auld Reekie.’’ While on the subject of Burns and his descendants it is also an interesting fact that the Ellisland farm-home of Robert Burns has Just been thrown open to the public. This house,on the banks of the songful Nith, about six miles north ‘of Dumfries, is stand- ing as sturdily to-day as when its strong walls were completed by Robert Burns’ own hands, If there isto be a Burns Cottage atthe World’s Fair, this Is the one which should be copied, or at least those having the matterin charge should recognize the truth that its representation would infinitely more emphatically memorize ‘‘fair Colla’s bard’’ than a prototype of the Ayr cottage wherein he was born. This Nith-side cottage is hallowed by a myriad sacred memories of Burns, He built it while singing many a lusty song to his absent love and wife. When done it was to his honest eyes fairer than any place in Britain. To it he brought his adored Jean ‘*preceded by a peasant girl carrying the family Bible and a bowlof salt. The most of nis children were born within its walls. It was the one Eden of labor, love and song that the poet and his wife ever knew. There are hundreds of visible relics still at the Ellisland cottage of the poet’s own handiwork. He was the great, the immortal Burns, more for his life within this humble home than for all else of earthiy accomplish- ment; for here were produced, among scores of minor poems, his most ecstatic achieve- ment, Tam o' Shanter,’’ written in a day and denominated by Alexander smith since Bruce fought Bannockburn, the best sin- gie day’s work done in Scotland.“ his magnificent battle-piece, ‘‘The Song of Death,’’ his wonderful satire, ‘‘The Kirk’s Alarm,’’ his matchiess embodiment of con- nubial affection, ‘‘Johbn Anderson, My Jo. % Blaw Ye Westlin Winds, his Address to the Nith,’’ ‘*On Seeing a Wounded Hare, that grand Address to the Shade ot Thom- son, Ot a the Airts the Winds Can Blaw,’’ and that divinest of all his odes, ‘‘To My Mary in Heaven.

But the distinction — Re N j the competency and the credibility of testi-. mony was lost sight of, the defendant was prevented from explaining his actions, and the jury from Ustening to the evidence of the person most deeply involved. Some of the most skilitul legal maneuvers of the leaders of the English bar during the last half of the eighteenth and the first quarter of the nineteenth centuries were directed toward bringing out the evi- dence in favor of the accused, which he was 2 as not allowed to give himself. Such a law — 4 seems so unjust as to be ludicrous to men of — the present day, but few are aware of tus fact that it was not disapproved in the States of Missouri until 1877. A case was brough® — before a criminal court during the preceding year, in which objection was made to the testimony ot the defendant on the ground of its incompetency. The Judge wasatfirstin« — clined to smile, but on examination founa that the claim was borne out by the facts, The old Englisn law still stood, and 2 was necessary to obtain an act of the Sy Legislature to abrogate it.

This is another instance of how someof the worst features of the old bhuglish common law have been carelessly or ignorantly adopted. Trials for high treason and fraud are of rare occurrence in the United States, and therefore lawyers have paid little attention to the statutes governing them. Where the United States is a party, the rulings of Judge Marshall in the famous Aaron Burr case would probably govern. But ina trial for treason against a State, in most cases, ifthe — prosecutor objected to the accused being represented by counsel, it would be difficult for the Judge to overrule the objection.

Ted is alover of the orator, with whom he can stand on Fancy’s Platform and pour forth the burning eloquence of the in- nermost recesses of his very soul. Ted’s favorite pose is the result of an anatomical study gained in daily communion with Daniel Webster, with whom Ted could often be seen walking down Washington’s most prominent thoroughfare, Ted on one side of the street and Daniel on the other. In justice to Ted it would not be miss to parenthetcally observe that in those days Ted was a mere youth but full of the ambition, the Excelsior,“ re the animation and ardent zeal t aroused + ag ap the youthful breast the Inspiration to Ay high on the wings of oratory and become a veritable Webster.

Thus it is that generations may come and go, centuries may blossom and pass away, and ages register upon old Father Time’s dial and then sink into oblivion, but man’s iden- tity is never lost. Could Daniel have known that even at this late day, his memory would be so effectually perpe tuated,bis grandeur of character so beautifully portrayed, and his | noble traits of manhood so carefully pre- served as they are in Ted, he would no doubt have left an endowment fund upon which Ted could readily and freely draw in his per- petuation of the Websteriah purposes.

Among their many resolutions may be culled the following: They will do up Brown“ their competitors. if they don’t win the pennant they will be in atthe death, and willattend the ‘funeral ina body. They will never play another championship game in their present Sportsman’s Lark. They will go where there will be new worlds to conquer—in the new Sportsman’s Park. They have resolved never tolet the catchers have a passed ball. Acatcher always looks ridiculous with a passed ball,’’ either de- hind the bat or before the bar. They don’t wantany other diamond than the present one. Any other one would be off its base,and anything off its base is generally caught napping, ana it makes one tired to a majority of see people fall into a state of innocuous | | shooters to each event. desuetudèe. They have resolved to hold a secret con- III., clave within their ranks, calling upon the powers that be to prevent the institution of measures that will operate detrimentally to their pitching forces. They strenously object to placing the pitcher’s box 80 far away from the that it will entall upon the catcher a micro- scopic attachment wherewith to determine whether the pitener is to touch the button for a parabolie curve orto fix his fingers so they wont be tipped off on a hyperbolic inshoot. Microscopic attachments come high and catchers Will kick against any inno- vation that will militate against their salaries. They have further resolved that in placing the pitcher’s box back—say eight to sixteen feet—thatit will be a bad thing forthe new year andincidentally base- ball, not saying anything about how dad it would be for the pitchers. They have resolved that they are human and they have reputations to sustain and they don’t want to be pounded all over the lot, simply to ben- efit the batter. They belleve the public don’t want to see a lot of big bloakes come up to the bat and smash the Dall all over the lot, running the score up into doubie figures with impunity. Hence they have resolved to kick, They rurther maintain that it is the wisest plan to be temperate in all things, whether in the disposition of liquids or in the presen- tation of ideas, plans, schemes, move- ments or projects for the alleged purpose of imp pty | the game, etc. They have resolved that Manager W atkins is a good man to handle them aud they won't attempt to handle him. They further embody in their New Year resolutions that a fine, like a hive of bees, 18 abadthingtostirup. They findit more re- finingto abstain from participation inany such amusement enterprise as stirring up bee hives, and hence have solemnly pledged themselves to devote their best energies and talents to pullingtogether inthe new year 18938, adding one more champlonship flag to the new Sportsman’s Fark pole, from which float so gracefully four hard earned pen- nants. ANOTHER TWIRLER. WATKINS SIGNS ARTHUR CLARKSON~—NEWS OF THE DIAMOND. Another rattling pitcher has been added to the Browns’ forces in the person of Arthur Olarkson, brother of John Clarkson ofthe Clevelands. Arthur Clarkson is one of the rising young pitchers of the profession, and Manager Watkins, who has been trying to get him since he assumed control of the Browns’ management, succeeded in signing him yesterday. President Von der Ahe was highly elated last evening upon receipt of the news from Watkins, as he had the oung twirler in view for some time. Dick Buckley the Brown’s catcher regards Clarkson’s abilities as — ＋ good, and recommended his engagement early last spring. Buckley well remem ered Clarkson’s work while with New York and he has re- peatedly stated that his splendid command of the bail, his coolnes, deliberation in work- ing batsmen and his skill in twirling would land him eventually in the front ranks. Manager Watkins has signed three pitchers, Dolan, Barnett and Clarkson, each one of whom he feels confident will hold their own with the Browns. With Clarkson, Gleason, Hawley, Hawke, Barnett and Dolah the Browns will have a fine array of pitching talent, whom Buckley and Peitz as receivers, will have no trouble in hana- ling. They will all report here early in March in readiness to make the trip with the club through the th and get in condition for the seuson’s work. DIAMOND DUST.

Boston, Mass., Dec. 31.—A number of America’s cycling manufacturers have in contemplation a gigantic scheme—nothing more norless than the construction of an asphalt road from 20 to 25 feet wide from New York to Chicago. The relay ride between these two cities brought the abominable con- dition ofthe roads prominently to the at- tention ofthe public The original idea was to construet a tract or pathway between the two cities, about four or five feet wide, made solidly and covered with asphalt. But on further consideration the interested parties thought that by making the road 35 feet wide and itbaving constructed as nearly ona line and as near as many large cities as pos- sible, they could gain the support of otner than New Vork and Chicago people. The line would be invaluable for government use, as swift couriers would have an opportunity to perform good work. Inadditionto this, the road would be of great service in sending troops across the country, andit would also be of benefit to the telegraph service. It has been suggested thatthe road be managed by a commission or board. TO LEGALIZE BOXING, — „ DRT DOLLAR’’ SULLIVAN WILL SPRING A BILL AT ALBANY. Dec. 31.—When the scions of the State get pretty comfortably settled in their legislative seats at Albany next week a bill will be quietly sprung on the assembly- men putting the stamp of legal sanction on glove boxing contests to a finish in New YorE City. As the bill was outlined yesterday it practically gives free rein to about everything in the line of fistiana and the police will be puzzled to Know where boxing contests leave off and prize fighting begins. Tim D. Sullivan offered such a bill last winter and it went through the Assembly but, was hung up in the Senate. The irrepressible ‘‘Dry dollar’’ is credited with the intention of presenting the Dill at this session and now that our Legislature is safely Democratic in both branches there ap- pears to be no good political reason why the boxing bill should not rattle through the Legislature hopper in blithesome fashion. And inct- dentally it may be mentioned that a new athletic club, while believed to be pretty well organized and to be equipped with a fine big club-house in the upper part of the city, on the West Side, is especially in- terested in the new bill to ae in Albany. Of course the Coney Islan Athletic Club managers do not propose to rest on their oars and serenely allow the bill to become a law if they can in any honorable way prevent it. Judge Newton will unduubtedly skip u to Albany next week, and he is gufficiently argus-eyed to know a thihg or two about legislation. He is not anxious to see a new club formed in this city with capital enough to offer some of those purses with the altitudinous figures that have so dazzled fighters and lovers of ring sports of late. The trips of nights to the Island in midwinter, and nasty weather, with exasperating delays in start- ing away from the bleak shores, are not rel. ished by the sports, and they would hail with gladsome acclaim the opening of a place which would be prought so close to heir 1 One Hundred New YORK, doors as Eighth ‘Avenue and and Fifty-umpth street, for instance.

BLOOMINGTON, III., Dec. 31.—The State law authorizing the killing of English sparrows has proved sucha nulsance in this city that the City Council has taken steps to do away with some ofits dangers.Several persons have been more or less seriously crippled within the past few days by missiles from guns in the hands of boys who were hunting spar- rows.

Last night at its meeting the City Council gave instructions to the Chief of Police to use special means to check the dangerous use of air guns and other arms.

BEDFORD, Ind., Dec. 31.—It has just deen learned that the Ohio and Mississippi Rall road, which was secured by the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern, is under contract to be bullt into this city without delay in order to make connection with the Bedford Belt Rallway. It is contemplated to extend the Ohio & Mississippi northwest from this place to a connection with the Evansville & Indianapolis and the Chica- go & East Illinois road so that the first road may run through trains to Chicago from Oin- cinnati to the World’s Fair. This would place the Ohio & Mississippi in competition with the Monon, which company has com- plete monopoly of the trafic to Chicago, which amounts to thousands of dollars annu- ally on account of the immense stone ship- | ments from this city.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec, 31.—The Penn- sylvania and Reading Rallroad companies, who have been carrying on a lively fight about the rates on anthracite coal, are about to adjust their difficulties, and before the close of the first week of the new year the relations which have existed between the two great sys- tems prior to Au 24 last will have been fully restore A conference has been hela at which it was agreed by the representatives of the three com- —— Central, Pennsylvania and sading—to issue jointly rates on anthracite coai via all junction ‘tan. taking Philadelphia as the basis for the same and tocirculate the new tariff sheets as soon as they can be had from the rinter.

It was at their house that their daughter shot herself, Etta and Sadie Carsons were girls hardly out of their teens, so runs Mr. Haynes story, When they became acquaintea. They were both living in the same house then. From the first Sadie’s influence over Etta Haynes was of an extraordinary character. She seemed to hypnotize her completely. Her control over ber was absolute. By merely putting her band on her forehead she could put her to sleep at any time. Etta lost all interest in the household affairs with which she had buSied herself before and gave herself up to the strange girl whose un- natural influence over ber grow day by day. Even Etta’s marriage did not diminish it. When she went South as a bride, Sadie Car- sons pleaded to be taken along and had her Way, as ever. In less than a year she and Mrs. Harrington came back alone. Sadie’s coming between husband and wife had broken up their home. The drummer was eliminated from the prospect. The two women housekeeping in Newark. They soon to this cityiand hired a flat in the Shen- apartment house on Eighth avenue, they were burned out. They then moved to One Hundred and Nineteeth street and lived together there, Miss Carsons main- taining herunwholesome sway over the un- fortunate woman until last August, when, Mr. Haynes says, his daughter’s money was all gone; then the Carsons woman left her.

To- Morrow’s Yearling Race~-A Sensa- tional Offer for Yo Tambien’s Brother— Résults at Guttenburg, Gloucester, Roby, Hawthorne and New Orleans Iroquois’ Mates. Racing for the year of 1892 in this vicinity was brought to a close at the course across the river yesterday and the usual contingent of Saturday regulars were on hand to par- ticipate in the sport. The job of placing the furlong poles the regulation distance apart was completed Friday evening and the result was, as everyone expected, the time made, aS compared with what has been accomplished heretofore, was extreme- low. Yesterday’s time, however, was accurate. Reputation was the only favorite successful, Second choices and outsiders at 10 and 12 to 1 Givided the remaining four races equally. The event of the afternoon was the handicap, for all ages, at five- the first choice from the start, opening at even money and closing at 7 to 5& Mike nroy’s Liberty Bell was the second choice, ing been backed from (to 8 to 1. Zoolien, who opened ats, closedat 4tol. Annorean, rene H. and Fanpie 8. were the de- spised outsiders at 7, 10 and 2 to 1. Bain took the favorite to the front at the start, closely pursued by Annorean. At the half Longfellow’s son was one length ahead of Annorean and seamed to be running easy. In the backstretch Fannie 8. moved up, and in the turn tothe stretch she was within a head of Reputation. The latter then spurted, and as the procession wheeled into the stretch, was leading by one length. From this point to the finish, Reputation ran easy and won out dy one length. After a drive down the stretch Fannie 8. was beat out of the place by Irene H. by a head. Midway, with Tod Sloan up, was most fancied in the opening scramble, a five- eighths ofa mile affair. He opened and closed first choice at 2 to 1. Gullty was second choice at 8g; to land 7 to 2. Young Carr was first to show with Gullty, but was overhauled at the quarter by Starlight, From this point the pairran as a team until the stretch was reached, where Carr drew away with Guilty and landed the fillya winner by one length. Starlight was the same distance ahead of the favorite Midway. Moss Terry had the call in the next event, a three-quarter of a mile affair, opening at 3 to Z and closingat2tol. Mariguitta and Credo were equal secondsatétol. The former was in front when the flag fashed, but soon re- tired in favor of Credo, who was never after- wards headed and the result was won by one length. Moss Terry and Christina, who were next to finish, were heads apart, in the order named. Everyone, even the bookmakers, expected Tenor with Patsy Freeman up would win the third race, which was a long distance affair at one and one-sixteenth miles. Inthe open- ing betting Tenor was quoted at 3 to 8, but towards the close the chakkers loosened up a little, and as the bunch went to the post as good as 7 to 10 could be had against his chances. Some one circulated a tip on Newcastle, which sent the price against King Alfonso’s son down from 8 to 1. to 5 to 2. Sexton, who opened at 8, closed at 7 to 1, while May Blossom, who opened at 6, closed at i2to 1.

GOSSIP FOR HORSEMEN. GREAT STARTERS IN THB WEST-—YO TAMBIEN’S BROTHER—IROQUOIS 8TUD ENGAGEMENTS. Lexinoton, Ky., Dec. 81.—One thing the West will be particularly strongin the next season is god starters. Caldwell, the king of the business, will be at St. Louis and probably Washington Park. Pettingill will hold the flag at Latonia and Nashville in ad- dition to, perhaps, several other points, | while Ferguson will al up the flank places not named above, leaving the East with only one fagman with a reputation in this line, as it is understood that Sheridan will again be out of the field in 1893. This arrangement in the end will be productive of much good to the Western jockey clubs, as a good starter adds no little to the success of a race meet- ing, giving confidence to horsemen and the racing and betting public alike, in fact it is oy oA another one of those things of which the best is the chea pest in the wind up. The Kendall Stable’s smart colt, Ceverton, who won the Oakwood Handicap at Wash- ington Park, among his other victories last season and asa 32-year-old captured thirteen races, has been fired on the advice of his trainer, Johnny Huffman, who feared other- 4 Wise he ‘would not stand training next year, he pulling up very lame in his last race at St. Paul, last summer, which race was his final Tambien, ata reputed price Of ts transfer to take place in yearling form. The sum named only greater than any yearlin sold for in America, but as well tops the world’s best record in this respect. The colt is said to be nearly acounterpart of his sen- sational sister, resembling her much more than he does either of his half brothers, Em- peror of Norfolk and El Rio Rey. Huffman regarding this family so highly, and with very good reason at that, bred this year his mare, Hypatica, to El Rio Rey, and she is ex- pected to foal early the coming spring. Being erself bred in the purple, a daughter of imp. Woodlands, out of the great Iroguols’ dam, her produce by El Rio Rey will be watched with keen interest, as such blood lines nearly insure a sensational youngster to come there- m. The following is a list of the mares Mr. E. S. Gardner of the Avondale stud will breed to Irogtois the coming winter and spring, which constitute all the public stud matrons Amertca’s leading sire will be mated to in 1893. It will probably also be the last of the mares not owned at Belle Meade which will be bred to this famous sire, as Gen. Jackson has about decided to place the American bred Englistt Derby and St. Leger winner perma- nently on the list of private stallions. Imp.

PROF. DAMROSCH’S WAY. He Is Opposed to Making a Free Show of Rehearsals. New Tonk, Dec. 861.—It was reported yes- terday thatthere was a great rumpus last Wednesday afternoon at Carnegie Music Hall, when the closing rehearsal of ‘‘The Messiah’’ was held under the direction of Conductor Walter Damrosch. A great many friends of the members of the society went tothe hall with the expec- tation of hearing the rehearsal. But one friend of each member, however, Was al- lowed to pass the vigilant doorkeeper, who informe. them that lis orders came directly from Conductor Damrosch. This produced no littie trouble and a considerable amount of anger among the members and their friends. Mr. Damrosch, too, was angry, and it is stated that he vented his wrath by mak- ing the singers repeat again and again thé most difficult numbers, and by compelling them to sing a lew bars over and over, 80 that the listeners derived but little pleasure from the performance. Many complaints were made that if Mr. Damrosch did not de- sire members to bring their friends he should have informed them of that fact and thereby have saved all from the annoyance that fol- lowed. bury will be ousted, and this would all be Mr. Damrosch, when seen to-day, said he accomplished before the election of a United ‘States Senator. * . * maa). 4 x 4 * „ 4! * 0 * A oe a 7 * 7 * * * ae * .

They assert that Kruz, the Independent, will be given his seat by virtue of the certificate he already holds, the decision of the Supreme Court to the contrary botwithstanding. Chairman Blake of the Independent State Central Comunittee said toa representative to-night: “‘Kruz will be seated, you may be sure of that. Senator Shrader said: **You know my opin- jon of the Nebraska Supreme Court. We pro- to see to it that Kruz las his seat.’’ Senator Shrader is the independent who denounced the Supreme Court in an address in the Senate last session. Both men express the sentiments of every Independent here to- night. The decision has intensified the situation. For the first time since the members have ar- rived they have a point torally around. To say thatthe Independents are indignant is lacing a mild interpretation upon the feel- ngs they so freely express. The Supreme Court is denounced on all sides for its parti- sanship, and the decision in the Clay County case recently, in which the Independents had the advantage, and which came in for so much oftheir commendation, has not been forgotten. The Independent members of the Legisla- ture now on the ground held their first caucus in the parlors of the Lindell Hote) to- day, about twenty-five members being resent. George Blake, Chairman of the In- ependent State Central Committee, called the caucus to order, and it was at once voted to admit the prominent leaders of the party. Among those who responded to the invita- tion were Judge Hastings of Wilbur, Judye Allen of Madison, C. H. Piertle, Mayor Weir and J. V. Wolfe, all of Lincoln; R. C. Drues- don of Nebraska City, Willlam Dech of Ithaca, W. Green of Kear- ney, Judge North Platte and Dr. 2 of Beatrice. When the gentlemen had ‘gained the room the doors were closed anda guard stationed atthe entrance. The members were some- what reticent about expressing their views, but the leaders were not so diflaent. V. I. Greene of Kearney, who is trying to entice Independents into a United States Senatorial corralof his own construction, advocated fusion with the Democrats and lots ofit. He was followed by Judge Allen of Madison. There was nothing noticeable about his ad- s, but one Incident occurred that for a moment nearly precipitateda riot. Pausing a moment the Judge exclaimed: ook at the Republicans; what are they ing to do?“! Hisstentorian tones aroused er Kider from his customary letbargy for a moment and he answered: hey are going to beat us with their Su- rome Court. Mayor Weir of. Lincoln descanted upon the beauties of fusion and sodid Dech, Hastings nad State Lecturer Fairchild. Dr. Craig of eatrice was ina similar frame of mind. He stated that he had been working at this thing for a long time and he was confident of the success of the scheme. know what I am talking about,“ said the doctor.

With > VS -* fa e or two dissenting votes it was decided that all honorable methods be used to effect a between the Independents and Dem- ocrats for the purpese of organizing the Len- isiature.

Back to His Neglected Bride. New Yorn, Dec. 81.—Chariles B. Dana of Natchez, Miss., who deserted his bride of a month inthiscity on Nov. 12, returned to New York yesterday. Young Dana learned that his wife had secured a warrant for bis arrest for desertion so he hastened to Mrs. Friel’s lodemg-house, at No. 149 East Twenty -second street, where he had left her and took his neglected bride away with him, where, no one knows, or at least is Willing to tell. Mr. and Mrs. Dana first lived in Mrs. Warring’s boarda.- ing-house at No. 219 West Fourteenth street,where Dana boarded and where Mrs. Dana, who was then Miss Emily Rowan, was a waitress. Shejwas a remarkably pretty Irish girl of 18, with jet black hair and rosy cheeks. She became a great favorite with all the boarders and the unmarried young men vied with each other to paying her attention. In less than a month young Dana had not only distanced all rivals, but married her, She being a Loman Catholic and he a Protestant, a dispensation from Archbishop Corrigan was secured on Oct. Ii, and the same day young Dana and Miss Rowan were married by the Rev. Fr. Lanigan, of the East Twenty-second Street Church. At the office of Howe & Hummel yesterday it was said that Mrs. Dana, who had retained the firm to bring action against Dana, had called and withdrawn her complaint. SOMERBY ARRESTED.

Somerby of the collapsed Order of Iron Hall was arrested at his home here this morning on his return from New York City. The charge against him was the same as that named in the warrant on which three other su- premes,’’ Baker, Gladding and Eckersly, were yesterday arrested—‘‘consptiring _to cheat and defraud, with unlawfully using the money belonging to the order, and with hindering and obstructing the administra- tion of public justice.’’ all four warrants were isshed at the in- stance of State Banking Superintendent Krumbhaar and Superintendent of Police Linden this afternoon said that no more arrests were contemplated. Som- erby furnished bail for a hearing next Thursday. To add to the complica- tions the Common Pieas Court this morning overruled the demurrer of the former as- signee, Stockwell, of the Mutual Banking 60. This insuresthe appointment of anew assignee.

Des Mornes, I0., Dec. 81.— When Peter Sut- ter, an old man 63 years of age, struck his wife on the head with a hammer in this city Thursday and instantly kilied her, the public did not know the circumstances which led up to the murder. He was only a farmer—a plain, innocent man—who by thrift had ac- cumulated a fortune of between $75,000 and $100,000. Since the murder was committea facts have come to the surface which make it one of the most remarkable crimes ever committed in lowa. Sutter has lived in this State for the past twenty years. He owns a farm of 160 acres near the city, where he has made his home during his residence in Iowa. Fourteen months ago, while he was living alone on his farm, he saw the need of having a housekeeper to attend to his home. ue inserted an advertisement ina local pa- per, and froma number of answers he se- lected Thressa Squires to perform the du- ties. She wasa woman about 85 years of age, of prepossessing appearance and htguly edu- cated. Sherepresented to Sutter that she Was a widow, but recent facts proves that she has a husband living in Illinois. She went to the farm and was installed in her new duties. In a few days Sutter was dis- pleased with the way she attendedto her work and he told her it would be necessary for him to employ someone else. This was the beginning of the acquaintance- ship which led to the marriage of Peter Sutter and Thressa Squires, and finally to her death. After leaving the farm she wrote him a touching letter, telling him how sorry she was that she was not able to dothe work, and when the old man answered the missive the woman saw she had an easy dupe and it-would only bea matter of time until she could control his fortune. This was the end she had in view, and how well she carried out her plans will be seen by the fol- lowing statement made dy Mr. Sutter to a representative of the ScwpaY Post-DISPaTCH. To get the story complete it will be necessary to go back with Mr, Sutter to the death of his first wife. In 1888, he said., my first wife died. 1 was then, as now, a prosperous farmer near this city. I had seven children, of whom three were girls. Icontinuedto farm until two years ago, whenI was hampered by the absence of female help in the home, my daughters having gone away by marriage and through seeking other employment more agreeable than that of working on a farm. linserted an advertisement in a Des Moines paper, which was answered by Thressa Squires. Her services were accepted, and several days afterwards she presented her- selfatthe farmandwas given a situation. She appeared to be a woman of culture and refinement, and though she did not meet the requirements of the situation I gave her a. place, possibly because of the homage medi- ocrity pays to genius. In a short time I learned she could not discharge the duties imposed and permitted ner to go. Ithen secured the services of a competent woman and thought no moreof Mrs. Squires. Two or three weeks afterward Ireceived a letter from her deploring her failure to meet the requirements of the situa- tlon at my house, and in anevil moment 1 answered her letter. This led up to an en- gagement between us which, on my part, was purely a love affair, but which on her behalf seems to have been purely mercenary and solely for the purpose of securing a vor- tion of the wealth Ihad previously accumu- lated. To make a long story short, we were mar- ried one year ago lost November. Before our marriage I told her that it was among the possibilities thatI might be called back to the farm, where my chief business interests were, and I asked her if she would consent to dividethe monotony of farm life with me. She replied that where I went she would ey gy go. Having accumulated a compe- tence 1 felt that 1 could retire from active business pursuits. 1 rented my farm and concluded to settle down and take life easy during the remainder of my days. Following our marriage my wife would con- sent to accept life under no other conditions than at the Kirkwood House. Conscious ofa bad bargain, I accepted the situation and acqueisced in her desires. We remained at the Kirkwood House for six months at a daily cost of $ per day. Then I concluded to build a house and economize. Accordingly, I pur- chasedalot on Twenty-ninth and Cottage Grove avenue and contracted for the erection of a comfortable bome, ata cost of about $6,000. Pending the completion of the house we secured apartments with Mrs. Bollinger, at Twenty-ninth and Cottage Grove avenue. Owing to the extravagance of my wife and her reckless dis position to live far beyond our means, Our married life was anything but happy. Though I informed her that the pace at which we were living would exhaust our means in a few years, she gave no heed but spent money with a lavish hand. 1 would give her one day, and having spent itshe would demand $100 the next. er ex- travagance was the cause of many domestic jars, and the direct cause of a great deal of trouble. The culmination ofour woes was reached Thursday morning when, during an acri- monious quarrel,she turned upon me and ex- claimed in a spirit of devilish glee: ‘I willex- tort from you all your money and leave you and your children paupers. That was my object when I married you, and it-is still my ambition.“ This devilish boast unbalanced my mind forthe moment, and seizing some- thing, I know not what, I struck and killed her. Ihavea vague recollection of striking her with something, but what it was I cannot state. It rma d have beena hammer or a chair. I saw her fall and realized that she was dead. God knows I had no intention of committing murder, but murder it seems to ave — **Realizing the terrible crime I had com- mitted, I had no further desire to live, and bad drawn a revolver to end my life, when I thought it would be better to surrender to the police and stand the consequences of the crime. Taking a last look at the prostrate form of my dead wife, I passed from the room, locked the doorandcame down town to give myself into the hands ofthe authori- ties. This I aid, and here lam, charged with the most serious charge that can be laid ata man’s door—that of murder. This woman prior to her marriage led me to believe that her previous husband had died. Later I learned that he was. alive and living in Tilinois. Whether she had ever been legally divorced from him I cannot state. Her deceptions have been sO numerous and so frequent that I would not besurprised now to learn that she had never been divorced from him, the recitalof the story above nar- rated, Mr. Sutter frequently yielded to emo- tion, and while striding back and forth in the cell burst into tears and wept like Wend.

The bill has passed both houses of the municipal legislature and will be given to Mayor Noonan to sign in a few days. It was bitterly opposed before the Rallroad Commit tees of the two bodies by the representatives of property owners along North Third street fromthe bridge to Carr street, but notwithstanding the protests the committees reported favorably and the measure went through. Now the merchants most vitally interested inthe matterare en- deavoring to induce the Mayor to put a stop toa measure which they consider ruinous to their interests. On Friday Conrad Schopp, President of the Jacob Schopp & Bro. Fruit and Produce Co., 910 and 912 North Third street, went to Mayor Noonan’s Qffice and most vigorously pee tested agaihst the signing ofthe bill, which he said would drive all the produce deaiers out of North Third street, which for fifty years has been their home. Mr. Schopp told the Mayor that he’ represented every property owner and dealer from the bridge to Carr street on North Third. Their prop- erty, he urged, might be estimated away up in the millions and they were convinced that the running of a double track railroad along the street would change its character and drive every one of them out of business. The Mayor listened attentively to what Mr. Schopp had to say and then told him to have a petition prepared to the same effect and have it signed by the merchants and property owners along the street and submitted to him on next Tuesday at noon. These instructions have been carried out and Mr. Sphopp has in. his possession a peti- tion signed by 600 merchants and owners praying that the bill be vetoed, and this he will present tothe Mayor at the Stated time. The document reads as follows: - MERCHANTS PROTEST. Hon. E. A. Noonan, Mayor, St. Louis, Mo.: Sin—Couarcil bill No. 16, being *‘An ordinance autnorizing the Com n Heignts, Union Depot and Merchants’ Terminal Railroad Co. to lease, con- struct, operate and maintain a double track passen- ger railroad on, along, upon and across certain streets, alleysand city blocks in the city of St. Louis,’’ passed in the House of i elegates Dee. 27, ie now in your hands for your approval or veto Thiso — for the laying of a double track railroad on Third street from Carr street to Washington avenue. The undersigned, who comprise, without excep- tion, all the merchants and nearly all the property owners on sald street, respectfully remonstrate against the approval of said ordinance. Third street, from Carr street to Washington avenue, isa natural market. All the produce aud fruit dealers of the city are centered upon this street. We have dees located there for years. Our business is such that we must locate upon one street, aud no other street offers like facilities. Costly improvements have been made there; every building has been built for this special purpose, and san be used for no other. The street is packed with people all day. Every merchant in the city must come there to buy. Every farmer who brings his produce to this city must come there tosel). The new freight depots east of us have increased the value of our location tenfold. We have more wagon traffic im a day than any other part of the city in a week. The street is constantly blocked with — engaged in loading or unloading merchan- ise. imance s Weurge your honor to persenaliy come upon the street and examine into this matter to ascertain the truth. It a double track is to be operated upon this street, our business will have to give way, It will be im- possible for us to do business there. Those of us who own our own property will suffer heavily, because the property cannot be used for any other purpose without enormous expense. Those of us who have long leases will be crippied b the double rent which we will have to pay. And all ofus who are engaged in business will be driven away. Our damage will be irreparable; we have no redress iu the courts; we can only appeal to vou. The inter ests of the public who will travel in these street cars do not demand such a sacritice from us. And the vast public who deals with us, directly or indirectly, will suffer as well as ourselves. If this road is so constructed as to run over Sixth street or Broadway, over the tracks already laid, where no such interests are at stake, we will all be in favor of the road. Then no one will be injured. = earnestly urge your Bonorto veto the present i l. THE PRODUCE DRBALERS’ ARGUMENTS. A Post-DISPATCH reporter went from store to store along tbe proposed line on North Third street yesterday afternoon and found that the opposition to the road was unapl.- mous. Mr. Schopp, however, isthe spoxes- man ofthe merchants in this manner asin others, and the inquirer was invariably told to Eo to him for information. He is a heavy property owner, and conducts a large business on the street. He said: North Third street, from Washington avenue to Carr street, Is the natural marketofthe city and always has been. Countrymen coming with produce from the other side ofthe river drive into the street fromthe bridge. Every mer- chant who buys produce sends his teams to this locality. All the wagons and trucks that come over the bridge on their way to any point north of Washington avenue turn up North Third in order to avold the cars on the streets above. The railroads have built or are building freight depots just below Third street, and all the teams hauling freight to and from these make Third street their highway. The C. B. & O. has its im- mense freight depot, 2,000 feet long, at Second street. and Frenklin avenue; the Merchants“ Terminal Bridge Co, has located its local freight depot on Mainand Carr streets, the Jackson Southeastern’s depot isat second and Biddle streets, the Erie’s large depot is at Main and Biddle, the L. X N. is now build ing at Collins and Ashley, and the Wabash at Levee and Wash. The street traue to and from these depots is immense, and North Third street is blocked with vehicles every day for hours ata time. There is no room for street cars, and as itis the merchants are crowded forspace. If this proposed line ts built we will simply have to leave the street, which will be a great hardship for several reasons. Many of us have erected buildings ut only for the uses to which they are now put. There is no street in the city so well@suited for market purposes as North Third, and as we must all locate in the same street there seems to be no other place for us. For money of the property owners it would simply mean ruination to change the character of the street, which the railroad would certainly do. Those who do not own the property they occupy have long leases and would also be seriously damaged. And for what? To bene- fit the city? No, only, to give a railroad company the use of the street in order that it may make muny by hauling pas- sengers from one depot to another. The city has already taken fromthe business houses on the east side of the street their rear en- trances on Collins street by giving that street up tothe Wabash road, which has laid its tracks and taken entire possession. They have closed us up inthe rear and now they want to close us up in front. ‘*I have been asked why we did not pre- vent the passage of the bill in the first place. In answer l say that I did all that I could. I went beforethe railroad committees of the two houses, set forth all these facts, and supposed I had given good reasons why the bill should be defeated. Yet the committees reported favorably and some of the com- mitteemen vote for the measure, which was engineered through by George W. Baumhof, General Superintendent of the Lindell Railway Co., an interested cor - poration. Besides this, we can’t be continu- ally before the Assembly opposing Dills to give Third street to railroad companies. I have foughtthe same fight Over and over againand defeated other bilis, and when I think we are secure in the possession of our business up bobs another bill backed by the capital of some grasping corporation that wants a rich prize. Two years ago the North & south Rapid Transit Co. had such a bill und we defeated it. It is a constant Dattleto keep the Assembly from giving the street away. If was the city that wanted it, it would be different. They could notify us to vacate and we would have to get out, but I don’t see why we should be Ir oe benefit ofa raliroad that will no way Denent the city.

T., Dec. 81.—You have heard the story as Irving tells it of the head - less horseman who spread consternation through Sleepy Hollow. This is a story ofa mysterous woman in Diack, who is exicting as much fear among the people of this peaceful vil- lage, sixty miles furtherup the beautiful valley; as did Irving’s ghost. It is the story of a strange creature who glides noiselessly along the country roads at dead of night. She has never been known to ad- dress anybody, although she has met many. Her language is the language of signs. She invariably halts long enough to stretch out her long arm from beneath a black veil and at the same time make a hissing noise. She mightsay more if anyone hesitated long enough to give herthe chance, but nobody has tarried long enough as yet. This strange apparation is described by those who have seen it as a thin woman at least 6 feet 4 inches tall, with a slight stoop and a long stride, »The woman in dlack, “ as the apparition is known, first made her appearance in Rhinebeck about six weeks ago. She, accord- ing to report, had been parading the streets of the villages just north of Poughkeepsie for several days prior to that time, but the people of Rhinebeck thought she was a myth. John Judson, who lives on Chestnut street, was the first to behold her here. As he was going home late one night he heard a noise im Walter W. Shell’s front yard. He looked around, and was startled to see a tall black object standing perfectly still. Judson hurried home and arrived there in a cold sweat. The next day the news was all over Rhinebeck. The women and children shivered and the men laughed, but that same night, as David Ackert, one of the best known business men in the village, was going home, he met the black-robed object on Main street. Ackert 18 six feet tall himself, and he says he had to look up at the woman. She shrank from him with a hissing sound, he declares, and he passed on without saying a word, or again looking around. David Ackert’s word is as good as anamdavit in Rhinebeck. **I wasn’t scared, boys,’’ he said to algroup of listeners the next day. but I felt a shiv- ering sensation, for she was so tall and slim and piratical looking.“ The four village constables, Bill Sleight, John Heb, George Wheeler and Murray Dederick, and Night Watchman Seneca Tala- day heard Ackert’s story, and vowed tocap- ture the creature that very night, but the woman discreetly kept off the highways,and was not seen the following night either. Thomas Sinclare was the next reliable per- sonto encounter the strange woman. He met her on the outskirts ofthe village about 0 o’clock at night. she was pacing in the middle of the road with her head bent low and her long arms clasped Dehind her. Sinclare merely took one look. Next James Traster met the mys- terlous creature in a side street about 10 o'clock one night. He dia not stop and speak, because, as he says, he did not think of it until after she disappeared. He ts a tinsmith, and one of Rhinebeck’s most reliable citizens. Things have been running along in this way ever since. No one has taken advantage of his oppor- tunity to address the woman, and noone 80 far has deliberately set about an investi- gation. The first woman to see the black apparition was Miss Florence Welch, the pretty young teacher at Miller's School, a mile and a half from here. Miss Welch dis- missed her school at last Thursday and then on Mrs. Herman on a farm nearby. She remained there un- til shortly after 5 o’clock, when she started to walk home. It was about dusk as she passed her school-house, and she glanced through the window. There sat the woman in black on one of the benches. Miss Welch remembered distinctly that she had locked the school-house door. She did not stop to see if it had been opened, but ran for her life. Sheis sure she was laboring undera delusion. Nathanel Post, who works for Frank Kern, went to Rhinecliff Saturday evening to meet his wife. In the flats, while they were driving home, the woman in black suddenly sprang in the mid- dle of the road. Post pulled up the horse and asked Mrs. Kern to hold the reins while he jumped out to fathom the mystery. Mrs. Kern was too frightened to give her consent and the woman scaled the fence and started across the meadow. Charies Martin, who carries the matlonthe kastern post route from Rhine- beck, met the woman in almost the same piace on the (following night. Rob- ert Shriver, the village bDiack- smith, who had been spending last Saturday evening with friends in Rhineclif, started for Rhinebeck at 10 o clock. In the outskirts of the village hesawa tall black object standing beside the roadway. With- out giving warning, he drew his pistol and fired three shotsat it. Itwas the woman in black, and she ran across the meadows. The next day being Sunday the villagers had a good chance to discuss the subject of the intruder. Several of them decided to ask ex-Constable Gus Quirk to go to work on the case. He hesitated and stin hesitates, but he said to-night that he ** guessed’’ he would take upthe matter, and if he did he would soon get to the bottom 0 it. won't stand any monkey business. he said. I've got my suspicions. Of course they are merely suspicions and are based on What 1 think, but when it comes to a thing of this kind I usually think pretty nearly right thoughts. I have thought that this woman in black was no woman at all. Ihad an idea that she was a boy got up to frighten people. We have several boys in this village who are just about her height. Il cross-questioned them pretty closely, and I thought I had hit the nail on the head, but one ofthe villagerscame in just then and shouted: ‘She’s been seen not more than ten minutes ago on the river road.’ Of course my suspicious persons had proved an alibi without saying a word.“ Every resident of Rhinebeck is perfectly satisiied that the woman in black is a reality, but not one of them can think of who she can be. There is nobody near here who answers the description of the mysterious creature and there isno family that harborsa crazy person. The negrest asylum is at Pougl:- keepsie, sixteen miles away, and no lunatic has escaped from that institution, add to the mystery the strange creature is never seen abroad in the daylight ana no one nas stumbied upon her in any niding place, BAYLE’S DEVILED CHEESE.

THE MONEY OF THE HUSBAND AND FATHER THE CASUS BELLI. Second Marriage of a Wealthy Blacksmith Opposed By His Daughter and Only Heir—Ante-Nuptial Agreement Waiv- ing Dower Rights—Post- Nuptial Repu- diation—Womanly Schemings. NEW YorK. Dec. 81.—When John Graham retired from his blacksmith shopat No. 160 West Eighteenth street some years ago he was worth nearly $200,000, mostly in real estate. He had only one child, Mary, whois married to Dr. James A. MeLochlin of 157 West Twenty-first street. Mrs. McLochlin never thought that her father would marry again, but when he was 61 he married Miss Theresa Cassidy, whom he had met at a fair in connection with St. Francis Xavier’s Church, She had been a dressmaker for Arnold, Constable & Co, for seventeen years and was then in business for herself. The couple were married in July, 1890. They wenttoliveat 117 West Twenty- second street. Mrs. MeLochlin did not like the match. She thought there was some danger that her father’s property would be divided tothe possible issue of the second marriage. The old blacksmith is now sep- arated from bis wife. Mrs. McLochlin bays he does not want to live with her. Mrs. Graham declares that her husband is kept imprisoned by his daughter at No. 157 West Twenty-first street. She obtained a writ of habeas corpus for the production of her husband in the Supreme Court. Mrs. McLochlin ignored the writ. She was ar- rested yesterday for contempt of court and taken before Judge Lawrence. In per affidavit Mrs. Graham alleges that her step- daughter refuses to allow Mr. Graham to leave her house and will not allow anyone to come near him. She says her husband wants to live with her away from her daughter. It is also alleged that Mrs. McLochlin induced her father a few weeks ago to convey all his property to her, worth more than $100,000. Mrs. Graham brought an action in the Supreme Court a year ago to set aside an ante-nuptial agreement by which she agreed to waive her dower right in her hus- band’s property for a consideration of $1. The old blacksmith got her to do this in order to give hera chance to prove that she did not marry him for money. Mrs. Graham afterwards repudiated this agreement on the round that she did not know Its nature. udge Truax sustained the agreement. Graham's appeal from this decision will come tp fore the general term next week. Both women the Supreme Court yesterday. McLochlin was reprimanded for not appear- ing in answer to a_.writ of habeas corpus, her counsel said that his client did not know what a writ was. He promised that Mrs. MeLochlin would produce ber father in court on Tuesday morning. Mrs. said her father had to be from the violence of who broke into the wife, house . short time ago to abuse him.

One of Dahomey’s Woman Warriers Died in @ermany. Special Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. MuNiIcu, Dec. 22.—One of the most inter- esting events ever witnessed by the people of Northern climes and which attracted thousands of spectators, was the burial of the young Amazon, Cula, a member of the famous troup of Amazons of Dahomey, who have recently visited all the large cities of Lurope. Cula was only 17 years old, and was con- sidered a handsome woman by her tribe. The ceremonies which attended her burial were strange and imposing. Ere the coffin, profusely decorated with flowers and con- taining the remains of the dead Amazon, was carried from the dead-house, where it had been deposited, three Dahomey warriors and twelve Amazons in full regalia approached the bier to Kiss their dead sister. The Chief Amazon, Gumma, waved a farewell to her with a handkerchief amidst the plaintive chant of the The Amazon in Life. others. Conforming with Dahomey customs, the mouth of the dead woman was then tightly bound with awhitecloth, and the two large toes were also tied ‘together. When the procession arrived at the open grave, the chief warrior spokea number of prayers, in which the others joined, shoul- dering theirarms. When the coffin had been lowered to the grave, the brother of the dead woman stepped forward and spoke in substarce as follows: ‘‘Cula, we sur- round thy grave depressed with sor- row. Thou camest with us from our beautiful home, hoping with us to return thither. This cannot now be. Thou art dead, and we are bowed with fief. I have but one thing to Say to thee: If thou hast died a natural death caused by sickness for which there is no help, we are content. But if thou wast poisoned (the Amazons were very suspicious of the whites- and believed her to have died from poison), then do not rest in thy grave, but pursue the evil doer until thou art revenged. Farewell! Sleep in this foreign earth! We will not forget thee when we return to our native land!’ During this address the speaker held in his righthand a sword. which he brandished aloft when he referred to the possible poison. ing of his sister. With his other hand he clutched his hunting-knife. When he had finished all the members of the troup threw earth on the coffin. This ended the ceremony, during which the Amazons 1 a dig- nified quiet, which contrasted strangely with the wild horde of spectators, who broke noisily through the lines formed by the po- lice, knocked down tombstones and trampled over graves, so that the cemetery, to the everlasting disgrace of civilization be it said, looked more like a batticfield than the peace- ful resting place of the dead. A Queer Wager. The history of wagers is an extraordinary one, but few incidents can excel the follow- ing for its oddity and originality: In 1821 a Mr. Huddy, the Postmaster of Lis- more, in the 97th year of his age, traveled for n wager from Lismore to Fermoy in a — garven oyster tub drawn by a pig, a ba two cats, a goose and a hedgehog, wi * large red nl tea p on his head, a pig-driver’s whip in one hand and in the other a commou cow’shorn, The latter he blew to encourage his 2 and to give notice of this new sys- tem of posting.

Legislators, Politicians and Candidates Going to the State Capital. REGULAR SESSION OF THE ASSEMBLY TO OPEN NEXT WEDNESDAY. Candidates for Legislative Offices and Their Chances—Mabrey in the Lead for Speaker—Preparations for Col. Stone’s Inauguration—Filley to Get the Com- plimentary Vote for Senator —Polities. At noon next Wednesday the regular bi- ennial session of Missouri’s General Assembly will be formally opened and the day follow- ing the permanent officers will be chosen. The Democratic Senate and House caucuses, which will be held Wednesday night, will select the offiters for both branches andthe. Ke- publicans with their hopeless minority will have to content themselves with a idistribu- tion of complimentary votes. When the or- ganization is effected Gov. Francis will sub- mit his farewell message and clear up the affairs of his office to have everything ready for Col. Stone, Who is to be inaugurated the following Monday. The method of getting the legislative wheels started is simple. In the House the Chief Clerk of the last session will call the House to order and announce the roll which he is obliged to prepare. The members are then sworn in and assigned to seats. This Is all that is done on the firstday. Inthe Senate the outgoing Lieutenant-Governor will preside until his successor is inaggurated. SEEKING LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS. The Democratic caucuses at Jefferson, when there are positions to bestow, are al- ways exciting, and those of next week will be noexception. In the House the Speaker- ship is sought by Thomas W. Mabrey of Ripley County and ]. T. Davidson of Marion. Party leaders concede that Mabrey has a good lead, but there is always a probability that a dark horse or two might be trotted out in the caucus. If this is done it may cut a material figure in the determination of the result. The speakership pro tem. is] wanted dy Representative John M. Coats of Platte County and Ben F. Stewart of Buchanan. Both are claiming the office. The chief clerkship, the best position the Assembly has toconfer upon a non-member, will be stubbornly fought for in the caucus, The candidates are Chas. L. Rowland of this city, who was As- sistant Chief Clerk in the last Assembly; John W. Jacks of Montgomery City and M. B. Henderson of Pike County, a nephew of John B. Henderson. Rowland’s friends claim the lead, but Jacks and Henderson are still working hard. The Chief Clerk has some thirty or forty assistants to appoint, and his position makes him a power inthe House. The Assistant Chief Clerkship, like the Clerkship, pays U per day. The candidates are Sidney Koy of Ralls County and Gilbert Gilbreath of Sedalia. There are four candidates for Engrossing Clerk andthey are all confident of get it. They are A. G. Love of Macon, Frank Abra- ham, Cass County; W. I. Rutherford, Clark County, and Hi. Md. Cormick, Lincoln County. The Engrossing Clerk has about a half dozen assistants usually allowed him, but if the Hiouse wants to be liberal he can put on a doren at the rate of $3.50 per day, Sundays anc holidays included. For Enrolling Clerk, R. L. Lunsford of Howell County, who had this post two years ago, isa candidate for re-election. James A. Turner of Carroll County Is strongly urged for the same post. The Enrolling Clerk is usually permitted to appoint sixor eight assistants. For Doorkeeper ex-Representative Mont- gomery Carnes or Sedalia has a commanding lead and is generally cos ceded the place. John H. Dameron is working hard for the post of Sergeant-at-Arms and seems likely to get it. He hails from Chouteau County. The chaplaincy will go to Rev. J. B. Pratts- man, the venerable Jefferson City minister who presided overthe spiritual department of the House two years ago. Rev. Prattsman served as a chaplain in the Confederate Army and has since been preaching at the State Capitol. When he was a candidate two years ago a number of members were induced to vote for him on the representation that his prayers were short and effective. Beside being a very old man Dr. rattsman is almost entirely blind. SEXATE OFFICES. The Senate has a number of easy places to bestow and there is no apparent scarcity of candidates. The number will thicken as the caucus draws nearer. The Vice-Presidency will, unless all calcu- lations are shattered, go to Senator Virgil M. Hines of Houston, Texas Co. The Secretaryship, worth $ a day and patronage, is anxiously sought by II. L. Gray of Boone County, r tae was Secretary of the last Senate, and J. Roach of Carthage. The Secretary, in addition to naming his own assistants, appoints the enrollingand en- grossing clerks and their assistants. For Assistant Secretary Frauk Farris of Crawford, who held the same place in the last Assembly, has the feld to himself. His place pays 35 per day, but has no patronage. The Sergeant-at-Arms assignment has been held by Ashley W. Kwing of Jefferson City for years, and it seems that there is an unwrit- ten law that this place is his for life. Two years ago he had no opposition, but at the approaching caucus North Missouri will urge Henry W. Newman of Randolph . Stanton or Cray Jeans, as he is known in Ste. Genevieve County, where he has lived for years, wants the doorkeepership of the Senate, and sodoes James Nifong of Madison County. Chas. E. Gill of this city, late of Jefferson City, has the inside track forthe position of folder, which pays $4 per day. There is a prospect ofa lively contest for the chaplaincy of the senate. The candl- dates are Revs. J. T. M. Johnson and Rev. J. T. Vandeventer. Rev. Johnson is the pastor of the Jefferson City Baptist Church, and was chaplain two years ago. INAUGURATING THE GOVERNOR. Gov.-elect Stone will take the oath of office and deltver his tnaugural address Monday noon, Jan.9. The oath of office will be ad- ministered by Chief Justice Sherwood in the presence of the Senate and House in joint session, and when this ceremony is concluded Lieut.-Gov.-elect O’Meara will be inau- gurated in the Senate chamber. The next important step of the Assembly will de the election of a United States Sen- ator. The Democratic caucns will meet, agree to-give Senator Francis Marion Cock - rell another term of six years and the two branches will ratify this action the day fol- lowing. The Republican members will —— a party leader with the minority vote. Will Compliment Filley. Ex-Boss Filley’s friends throughout the State are perfecting a scheme which, if car- ried out, willbe taken asaslap at National Committeeman R. C. Kerens, Chairman J. E. Bothwell and other Republican bosses who gave ‘‘de ole man’’ such bitter political pills to swallow at the Minneapolis and 2— City Conventions.

It was stated at he Laclede Hotel Jast evening that the move- ment to give the compliment to Filley was moving in a lively d way and wouid prove a success, Senator Gus A. Wurdeman, who repre- sents the district of St. Louis,. Franklin ade Counties, said last evening he had heard considerable about the advisa- bility of gree — complimentary vote to Filley. The ublican Assemblymen, he said, can well afford to do this, and for one, I favor the idea. Filley has proved himself a first-class organizer and a good party leader, and he deserves some recognition. One thing is certain, and that is he isa better manager than any ofthe leaders inthe last State canvass.’’ Mabrey Is Sure. Representative Thomas W. Mabrey of Doniphan, Ripley Co., one of the candidates for Speaker of the lower branch of the Legis- lature, passed througk the city, yestorday, on his wayto Jefferson City, where he will open his headquarters to- morrow, and meet the members as they ar- rive.

The Illustrious — of Luynes and Noailles Allied. Special Corres pondence SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH. ARIS, Dec. 18.—An event that has excited all the fashionable world of Paris has been the marriage ofthe Duke d’Ayen and Mlle. de Luynes. The Duke d' Ayen is eldest son of the Duke de Noallles, who bears one of the most illustrious names in France, and 23 years old. The antiquity of the house is only equaled by its splendor, and besides the dukedoms of Noailles and Ayen, members of the family possess the tities of Duke de Mauchy and Ilrince-Duke de Poix. The grandfather of the bridegroom was the famous Duke de Noallles, who became Dean of the French Academy at the death of Victor Hugo and died at the age of 83 years, just one week after his old friend. This Duke de Noallles and the Duke de Talleyrand Peri- gard were the only Frenchmen of the present day who received the decoration of the Golden Fleece for other than political reasons. The Duke was made a member of the academy to replace Chateaubriand in 1848, and from that time on, his life was a series of contests with those jealous of his rank and popularity. When he had finished an Essay on St. Cyrand Mme.de Maintenon,’’ he was accused of stealing the essay from Theophile Lavallie, and Lavallle was represented as saying: 1 do not take your title my lord Duke; why do you rob meof my book?’’ The Duke de Noailles. was very sensitive about this accusation, for he worshipped the mem- ory of the celebrated woman, whose history isso connected with that of the house of The famous chateau de Maintenon, Eure et Loire, Noallles. nov in the Department of Was a present from Louls XIV. to Mme. de Maintenon, and she, in turn, gave it to her niece, who married the Due d’Ayen, son of the Marecha! de Noailles. This cha- teau is one of the historical bulidings of France. Built during the reign of Louls XIII., the towers and chapel of that epoch are standing atthe present day. The right and left wings were bullt by Mme. de Main- tenon, andthe Duke da Noailles decorated the gallery of the left wing with the portraits ofallthe membersof his family, celebrated since the Crusades. In one room of the cha teau, called the Maintenon chamber, is the Sedan chair of the famous woman, and her portrait by Mignard. One of tne avenues in the park is called Racine, for the great poet, who spent several weeks In the chateau. The de- throned Charles X., coming from Rambouil- let, passed a night at Maintenon, and the apartments oc? upled by his majesty are stil shown to visitors. It is in this castle that the young Duke and Duchess d’Ayen are spend- ing a part of their honeymoon. The father of the Duke d' Ayen Is well Known as a contribu- tor to various French reviews, and his uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, was once Frenca Minister at Washington. The Duchess d Ayen is 22 years old. and for the past three or four years has been con- sidered the most charming young girl in the Faubourg St. Germain. Her father, the Duke de Luynes, was killed at Patoy during the Franco-Prussian war. His wife vowed beside hig tomb never to forsake the name of her hero, and to keep the father always in the memory of thechildren. This vow Mme. de Luynes has religiousiy kept. The Duchess is an artist of merit, and many of her pictures, exhibited in the salon over the name Volande Dalbert, were inspired by the beautiful scenery of Vallee-aux-Loups and the princely magnificence of Eschumont, homes of her father, the Duke de Dondeau- Ville. Muchor her time is spent at Bonne- table, another seat of the Dondeauvilles. The Duchese de Luynes spendstwoor three monthseach year in Paris, and there her home is nasmall house beside that of her father in the Kuve de Varenne. This winter she is usually at Cannes, where she has a villa, but it ts at. Dam- plerre, the ancestral home, of the Luynes family, that she offers hospitality to her friends, Dampierre was chosen for the mar- riage of Mile. de Luynes anda special train carried the guests from Faris tothe station of Saint Remy les Chevreuse, near which 1s the Castle of Damplerre, The little church was exquisitely decorated with camelias and chrysanthemums and outside were crowds of peasants waiting tosee their dear Mlle, Vo- lande, who is their especial benefactress. The bride never looked more beautiful than in her gown of white satin, trimmed with orange flowers and point a l’aiguille, a Vell of the same lace falling from the coronet of orange biossoms. She waiked with her brother, the Duke de Luynes, and was followed by the Duke d’Ayen with the Duchess de Noallles. The Duke de Dondeauvilie and Dowager Duchess de Luynes, the Duke de Chartres and Marquise de Virien, Duke de Noailles and the Duchess de Moneby, Prince de Ligne and the young Duchess de Luynes, nee Uzes; Marquis d’Harcourt and Viscountess de la Koche- foucauld, Count Aimery de la Rochefoucauld and Princess de Ligne, Duke de Monehy and Countess de Mortemart and all the members of the families of Luynes and Noallles. Cardinal Laugeniene made an address to the Duke d’Ayen and his bride, but the mar- riage ceremony was performed dy the cure of Damplerre and the cure of St. Francis Xavier, thechurchof Mile. de Luynes in Paris. The Countess de Guerne — the Ave Maria“ from Mascagni’s opera, ‘‘Cav- alleria Rusticana, and Glordani’s 770 Salu- taris’’ in a marvelous Manner. After the ceremony a breakfast Was served at the cha- teau; the table of honor was arranged in the Hall of Minerva, and here were the Duke de Chartres, Cardinal Langeniene and the bridal party. Several tables were prepared for the guests in the dining-room, aud the toast of the day was made by the Duke de Chartres. Aw 1 have said, the Duke and Duchess d' Ayen went immediately to the Chateau de Maintenon, but in a few days they will make a cruise in their yacht, now waiting for them inthe Mediterranean. Their home in Paris will be at No. 94 Avenue Kleber. — —— Where the Women Propose. In the Ukraine, Russia, the woman does all the courting, says the Million. When she falls in love with a man she goes to his house and informs him of the State of her feelings. If he reciprocates all is “hot and the formal marriage is duly arranged. If, however, he is unwilling, she remains there, hoping to coax him toa better mind. The r fellow cannot treat her with the least discourtesy, nor has he the consolation of being able to turn her out, as her friends would feel bound to avenge the insult. His remedy, therefore, ifhe is determined not to marry her, isto leave his home aud st away as long as she is in it. On the Isthmus of Darien either sex can do the courting, with the nat- ural a that almost a one gets mar- ried, practice to that in the Ukraine ‘exists among 5 the & teie In- ) the situation after mer: ail the chi 1 Ddr alda 2 now !

Come let us anew our 8 pursue. Roll round with the roe And never stand still till the Master appear. His adorable will let us gladly fulfill and our tal- By fhe 1 of hope and the labors of love. This is the first ofthe three stanzas which makeup the beautiful watch-night hymn, known as the covenant hymn, composed by Charles Wesley over a century ago. The par- ticular element of the economy ofthe Metho- dist Church, for which the hymn was de- signed, namely the vigil kept on the last night of each year, still lives, and was observed last night in several Methodist churches, in ancient and honor able form. Watch- night service is one of the most unique and solemn devotions practiced in Christian churches. The exercises usually begin about 9or 10 o’clock on the last night of the year, and the Watch- night services held in this city last evening observed thisrule. The dying hours of 1892 were occupied by the faithful who at- tended the services in singing hymns and in praying. The pastors and local preachers of the churches delivered stirring homilies upon the lessons to be drawn from the past and the rules to be observed in the future. A few minutes be- fore the fatal toll of the clock, which marked the passing of the old year, the worshipers shut their hymn books, and the pastor closed his Bible. And as the din of horns, the blare of drums, the clangor of bellsand the ioud reverberations of guns proclaimed a boister- ous welcome tothe new year the keepers of the watch-night vigil engaged in silent prayer until the racket without died away. Then the worshipers resumed their hymnals, sang the Covenant hymn and departed for their homes with the happy thought that they had begun the new year well. ORIGINATED BY METHODISTS. Watch-night services are no longer identi- fied with any one church, but they date from the birth of Methodism in the mi dle of the eighteenth century. The origin of the service is as singular as its practice. Miles, in his History of Method- ism,’”’ says of watch- -night observances: „»The custom was begun at Kingswood, England, by the colliers there, who before their conversion used to spend every Satur- day night at the ale-house, After they were taught better they spent that night in prayer. Mr. Wesley, hearing of it, ordered it first to be once a month atthe full of the moon, then once a quarter, and recommended it to all his sociefies. His own account of it 1s: * was in- formed that several persons in Kingswood eee met — at the school, and, when they could — 8 the time, ght in prayer Some advised could see ~~ nt be m to — lhe 2 ev m made of more general use. scales ike Pons Camas ne teh them on 0 moon that we might have uügnt . back again. notice ofthis, the Sunday 25 eek ene withal that I intended to preach, desiring — and dork would meet met who could ’ Dusiness silence of the night,’ I am not careful to answer inthis matter.. Be it so, however, the impression then made on many souls has never since been effaced. Now, allowing that God did make use either of the novelty or any other indifferent circumstance in order to bring sinners to repentance, yet they are brought, and herein let us rejoice together.’ The queer circumstances of the inaugural watch-night services andthe quatnt logic in which John Wesley finds their justificatior are matters of remark. The miraculous change in the brawny miners of Kingswood, who fore their conversion were wont to pass their idle hours in drunken scenes of revelry n is commemorated on the of each by the watch-night services in Methodist and other churches. One of the hymns which form a part of the watch-night services and which is from the zealous muse of Charles Wesley, the brother of John Wes- ley, thus recalls the conversion of the Kings- wood miners: How many pass the guilty night In reveling and frantic mirth! The creature is their sole delight. Their bappiness the things of earth. . us suffice, the season past, We pean the better part at last. ST NIGHT’S SERVICES. At Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, Tenth and North Market streets, the watch night services were very solemn and interest- ing. The pastor, Rev. J. P. Marlatt, led the singing and praying and delivered a stron exhortation to his people. The members o the church told their religious experiences, and a mourners' bench’’ was set aside for penitent sinners. The exercises closed shortly after midnight with the singing of the covenant hymn. Rev. Dr. John Matthews, pastor of St. John’s M. EK. Church South, northwest cor- ner of Locust street and Ewing avenue, 1 — an old-fashioned watch - nignt meeting ginning at 9 0’clock and ending with the birth of the new year. There was a large congre- gationand they entered with much zest into the spirit of the exercises. Dr. Matthews preached, and the congregation praped and sang the watch night hymns. Shortly before the ‘noon of night,’ as Wesley termed it. the congregation engaged in silent prayer,which lasted until the midnight hour was assed, when the exercises were closed with the singing of the covenant hymn. Centenary Southern Methodist Church, which has always been foremost in watch- night services, was not behindhand last night. AtYo’clock a large congregation was as sembled in the church, and with -appropri- ate relgious exercises, led by the pastor, Rev. Dr. S. H. Woerlein they bad, adieu to 1892, and welcomed 1893. The hymns and — proper to the occasion were re earsed and the pastor delivered an in- structive sermon. The meeting adjourned shortly after midnight. CHIEFDEN, MR. ASTOR’S ESTATE.

Lonpon, Dec. 19.—Chiefdan, the second of the great country seats of the Duke of West- minster, thé richest nobleman in England, has been leased by Mr. Astor, who is richer than any duke or other nobleman in England. Chiefden is the most attractive country place on the banks of the upper Thames. In ad- dition to size and natural attractions it has associations of history.

This is not the first time that she has acted inthe great French comedian’s company. Some time @go she appeared in his support, and knew her French well enough to deceive even the l’arisians as to her nationality. Sardou’s new play, ‘‘Americans Abroad,’’ has been produced in New York ahead of its Parisian production, and the general im- ression seems to be that all the powers of liss Cay van, Mr. Kelcey, Mr. Lemoyne, and the otbers of thatadmirabie company were needed to save it from failure. ‘Ihe plot reads as if Americans Abroad’’ were pretty nearly as silly as Miss Heljyet.’’ The clever comedienne,’ Bessie Bonehill, sailed for England last Wednesday to fulfill an important pantomimic engagement. She will return next July and begin her starring tour in the nautical comedy force, Play mates, on Sept. 4. Miss Bonehill will bring from the other side all the scenery and me- chanical effects used in the play, besides tive people. Her company will number twenty. Booth’s surroundings in Hamlet used to be a little like those of Mr. Wopsie when he undertook the same part; the courtiers of the Danish monarch being represented by one page of a distinctly female appearance andone brass-encircied warrior, while the reigning majesties of Denmark sat aioftona wooden table, the Queen with a gold heaa- whata wag calleda fly-paper memory—he learns with astonishing rapidity, he has been studying music three years, be knows 360 songs and ift he were permitted to do so he would sing them all every cay of his merry life, and that’s why people call him a musi- cal wonder.

Hils cempanion is a young musician, who goes everywhere with him and exercises the right of a parent, guardian, friendand tutor. He plays his accompaniments and is present at all his lessons. The two are great chums. Probably there is not just suchanother study in New York as the music-room where the boy soprano spends his working hours. First of all there is the plano, always tuned high, always littered with sheet music and always knee keep in exercise books and opera scores. Next-door neighbor of the piano is a work bench. Here the song-bird sits and files old keys, for which he has an incur- able agection. It isthe expressed belief of his companion, whose teetit are always on edge, that Master Tyler is a born burglar, if he had a hundred pockets in cach suit of clothes he would have keys in every one, and he has yet to find the lock that will not yieid to the magic of a certain piece of wire he carries about. The gentleman is also authority for the statement that his protege loses the family key rings on purpose forthe exciting pleas- ure of havingto pick trunk locksand door locks ata time when everybody ts in a hurry able kind of human face one can imagipe. The tall of ‘Triceratops Prorsus is @ very remarkable appendage. It is of huge size, presenting the chief point of difference be- tween this reptile and the rhinoceros. He is tremendously armored, as May be seen, hav- ing horns on his head, a huge collar to pro- tect his neck and a thick skin studded with knobs. ‘This enabled him, no doubt, to de- fend bimself against his neighbors, who were eighty feet long or more. Such a reptile was Atlantosaurus, for instance. whose thighbone, 6feet 2 inches in height, is de- picted here. Itis supposed that this reptile traveled on his hind legs, much after the fashion of a human biped. He would have been able, while standing on Olive street, to look in at the third floor of the Federal Bullding. The huge tails of these reptiles suggest those of the kangaroo. It is probable that they served the same purpose as the latter. Tf this is so many of these animals must have been able to take immense leaps, possibly traveling round the world in a very Short time, shaking the surface of it as they went. Ifa Kangaroo four feet high can Jump twenty feet bow far could an atlantosaurus eighty feet high jump?

The writer first met him when riding with a guide in the Girection of - Manuelito’s camp. Near the trail stood an Qa Man with his face covered with blood and n Dlanket and clothes begrimed with dust. Beside him stood a cream-colored Indian pony dappled with spots, and like his master literally coated with grime. It was easy to see that an accident of some sort had happened. On reaching the spot where the ola man stood beside his horse, both appar - ’ ently in a dazed condition, the guide, who — eQuid speak Navajo, asked him what was the matter. „My horse fell on me,“ replied the old Indian, and I have cut my face against the sharp rocks in my fall. Hardly had he uttered these words, when, with the blood dripping all over him from his frightfully gashed face, he sprang into the saddie with a bound that would have been creditable toſa buck, and moved off at a smart pace down the canyon. There was a peculiar look ofalarm on the ‘old Indian’s face, and his abrupt departure might be attributed to bodily pain arising, perhaps, from some internalinjury. But such was not the real cause of his hasty disap- pearance. The name of the spot where this scene took place was Skeleton Valley.“ It was a place where repeated encounters had oc- curred between the cowboys and the Indians. Several murders had been committed there and the true secret of his haste soon re- wealed itself. Afew steps beyond the spot where the horse had fallen lay the bony hulk of another horse whose ribs had been picked _| giéan by the harpy eagle, and close beside it * ) i 7 Poe 7 ifs growls, and, clearing his throat, sat down on 1 a blanket near the fire and sang in a nasal all burnt u lay the whitened skeleton ofa cowboy, who bad been killed there by an Indian some time before. The horse had shied at the two skeletans and the old Indian, with a Navajo’s dread of looking ata dead person, had hur- ried away ata hot pace from the grinning skullin mortal terror untilthe fall of his pony on the sharp rocks had left him tempo- wary stunned. That Indian will never ride this way again, said the guide. It is bad medi- eine. The Chief Manuelito lives at the camp in a sort of adobe house with afew members of his family. Inthe course ofa conversation witb/aim the old Indian was mentioned. nat is Se-chi-tee,’’ the chief exclaimed. „He is the wonderful man among the Navajos. He knows everything. He is a great song singer and story teller. He knows all the poisons, herbs and remedies for the sick or injured. He is an Indlanchemist.’’ „Then you think he could tell me that great secret among the uninitiated whites— viz., how the indians poison their arrows?’’ asked the writer. **He can tell you all that the Indian knows ifhe has a mind to,“ replied Manuelito, „He is an authority on Indian customs, manners and habits. That night, on the way back from Manuell to’s camp, a stop was made at the house of old Se-chi-tee. He was at home. A squaw opened the dooranda couple of cayote-like dogs barked furiously. We dismounted and wentin. It was about 7:30. The moon was shinifg brightly. After giving Se-chi-tee the old chief’s re- and inquiring about his face, which had dried into clotted seams or black blood, the interpreter told him what was wanted and money was promised for any informa- tion he might give. He agreed to sing some Navajo songs, poked the fire at the center of the hogan in the little conical stove, rebuked the dog that all the while had been uttering a series of low was the song Gone than the old oracle stopped „ and though several questions were asked, nothing could be out of him. 25 is playing possum, said the guide. **He wants money.

After the Hstener had stuffedall these in notes he said: Can you give an outline of the great round-dance song of the ‘Hock-e-a-yum.’ This is the great torture-dance so famous in the history of the Indians of the Plains as well as other tribes?’’ He nodded assent. Before he sang it, however, Se-chi-tee told in connection with this wonderful chant a bit of news concerning its origin. Se-chi-tee said through the interpreter: „„When I wasa boy about 10 or 12 years of age there lived a band of Indians known as ‘The Staitaus or Flyers.’ That was about 1804. These Staitaus, it appeared from his story, only numbered about one hundred braves, but they were the most ferocious of all the ‘American Indians. They were Indian outlaws compoged of Cheyennesand Sioux. They were the Best mounted horsemen of the plains. They were the best riders. They moved witn the big herds of buffalo and knew the split and the surround. They never surrendered. They faced every foe and con- quered or died. Their squaws rode in the ranks at their side and spared noone. They had no flag of truce, and neither gave nor asked quarter. The secret of the wonderful valor and en- durance of this handful of flying horsemen was in ‘the terrific tortures which they in- flicted on each other. They were the origin- ators in early times of the ‘‘Hock-e-a-yum,’’ or torture dance, in the midst of which a warrior was banged to a beam by the pec- toral muscles of the breast, under which a stone knife bad been passed, leaving a bleed- ing slit through which a rope of horsehair was drawn and fastened to the wooden toggles that suspended him high in the air. The custom spread and was practiced by the Sioux, Gros Ventres, Nez Perces, Man- dans, Cheyennesand other Indians of the plains and surrounding country. This band of bra ves inthe early part of this century was exterminated near lodge Pole Creek, on the North Platte River, probably by the Sioux. They had their imitators in the hand of Canoe, one of the three bands ofthe South Assiniboine. Many years ago his fierce band while out hunting the buffalo got caught and bewildered with the helpless brutes themselves in the snows of the prairies had sought the sheiter of the woods by Lake Mandan. Soon they were surrounded by the Mandans and Gros Ven- tres. Seeing escape was impossible and slaughter inevitable, their war chief, Tall Bull, cried out to his warriors: ‘‘Follow me!’’ They followed where he lead in single fle. Be tore them opened an air-hole through the ice, where a whirling eddy circled in the swift current of the waterofthe lake. With a proud, defiant stride Tall Bull stepped up to the icy door and disappeared at a single plunge. One by one the plumed warriors passed from view ateach successive plunge until at last they hadall sunk out of sight below the smooth, icy surface of the haunted Leke of Madnan. ' „There, said Se-chi-tee, in that act you have the secret Of the ‘Hock-e- -a-yum.’ To fail in it isto becounted as a woman.

When ‘he was suf- ficiently recovered to talk he was asked to sing a love song exactly as the Indians did it. „How many Navajo songs do you know, Se-chi-tee?’’ The old Indian wizard stretched out his five fingers on each hand and exclaimed>. „Heap a heaps!’* Here Shi-pe-tee, the old consort of Se-chi- tee’s latter days, interposed some remark in Indian.

He resented very bitterly and with curling disdain the idea that the Indian wasa whit behind the white man in wit. In order to prove his assertion he went toa little gallery of pictures that he had, and, pointing toa group of distinguished Americans, he said: There, do you know,whothat is?’’ It was a picture of Henry Ward Beecher. Now, look atthis picture of the Son of the Star,’ Chief of the Atrickarees, whom we call out here the Henry Ward Beecher of the Indians, said Se-chi-tee, pointing to a picture of an Indian. There, in fact, was Beecher’s face picture faithfully reproduced in an Indlan of far finer form, presence and power. MILLER HAGEMAN, A ROYAL EXPLORER. Prince Henri of Orleans Writes About China and the Tonquin. Pau, France, Dec. 31.—Prince Henri of Or- leans has just returned from an extensive ourney through Indo-China, and has brought with him a number of interesting objects and papers on the condition of the country, drawn up by himself. Prince Henri says that the country Is still unsafe on account of the depredations of numerous pirates, and that there are many evidences of jealous interference on the rt or the English and Chinese with French institu- tions. China evinces not the slightest re- gard for the treaties which it made with France in 1885, and French military posts like that of Dien Bien-fou at Tonquin are often wiped out of existence ina nightby a detachment of regular Chinese troops that far outnumber the soldiers stationed at the post. Nothing but main force and the main. tenance ofa standing colonial army can rem edy these evilsand make French authority felt in Tonguin. The mineral wealth of ees is consider- able, with plenty of copper, gold and silver to be deducted from the mines, although lit- tle has been done as yet in that airection. Tea, coffee, indigo, cotton, rice, setc., grow in abundaace, and the natives are frugal, peaceful and industrious, while the handi- crafts bent indef®ndent of its natural riches and re- sources, commercial transactions with China canbe greatly facilitated by using the Red River and the Black Stream of Tonquin and the Me-Kongof Cochin-China, if the Chinese were madeto fulfill their obligation under the treaty of expending $16,000,000 to improve the roads of Southern China, which they have not yet begunto do. Another factor which makes Tonquin one of the most destra- ble colonies is its abundance of coal, Thisis by no means a mythb,as it has been previously reported, and it has already been demon- strated that the coal fields can be worked with the utmost facility from the surface ofthe earth. No other nation which navi- gates the Chinese seas possesses such a nat- ural fuel field for its vessels. England, for example, is obliged to maintain at Hong- Kong an enormous coal station at consider- able cost. Thus France holds the key toa very D situation, offering many ad- vantages whit should be regarded as a strong incentive to establish French power on a more solid basis in the Tonquin. WYOMING WON.

Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Dieraren. 85 Once there was a body—the Body Politic., It did an kinds ot work with Hand and Brain and Eyé and Voice. It was supported by two strong Legs—once as stout and sturdy Legs as ever were created. It was enabled to go about and to do its work entirely by means of these two Legs. One of them was called, in the language of the country, Farmer, which signifies the Right Leg. The other, also in the language of the country, was called La- borer, or Left Leg. Now, it happened that the Eye, roving about the world, which at this time was {beginning to be known, dis- covered that the great cost and expense in- volved in keeping these two Legs in stout and serviceable condition might be lessened by the importation and addition of a third Leg. Therefore, without con- sulting the two Legs, and greatly to their dismay, the Body Politic attached a third Leg, called, in the language of the country, the Foreigner. And then a very strange thing happened; for tde muscles and strength of the two original Legs departed from them; they could no longer support the Body, which now rested entirely on the Foreigner, and how stout and strong that be- came itis impossible totell. But there were ropes attached to the Foreigner, the other ends of which were held by enemies across the sea, who in time of trouble would certain- ly drag away thatthird Leg, so that the Body would topple over and fall down, and perish miserably for want of syppo Then the two natural Legs began to cry out and | complain to the Brain, and the Eye, and the Hand, andthe Ear, and the Voice, saying: **Behold! we also are part of the Body Po- litic, and we waste away and per- ish. But the Voice re plied. What care we? Behold the cheapness of the Loaf? What care we whether you live or dier“ Then the Legs said, ‘‘Nay, but in time of trouble what would become of you if the Foreigner was dragged away?’’ But the Voice laughed and said, What care we? Behold the cheapness of the Loaf!’’ So the Legs were quiet. But they wasted more and more, and the muscles and the strength went upward and deserted the Legs and became new Hands, and demanded work, anda still more work; and the Hands increased and multiplied—always drawing up the strength of the Legs—till there was not enough work forgfall these Hands, and so work] became scarcer, and even at starvation wages there was not enough work to go round. Then many perished of famine and others declined and died for want of better food. But still the Voice cried out, What care we? Behold the cheapness ofthe Loaf! Then there came a day when the two Legs could live no longer, Then they said, ‘*We die, unnatural fellow members of the Body Politic. You have killed us. But we shall be avenged. For henceforth you shall become cowards, because you will not be able to fight for want of us to support you intime of war. Moreover, you will have no more soldiers to(fight for you, because we, who gave you all your soldiers in times past, shall give you no more. And your workmen shall starve, because there will not be enough work for half or a quarter of those who have left us to seek work with vou. Then, at last, the Voice under- stood what had happened, and it cried out aloud, Fools! Wehave ruined our two natural Legs; we have’ given our wealth to the Foreigner-—that Leg which will betray us when trouble begins—and we have crowded the Body with those who ought to be with the Legs, all for the sake of showing a cheap loaf. And we have made it impossible for Handand Brainto get by their labor even money ehough to buy that cheapened loaf! Fools! Fools! Fools!“ Whatthe Body Politic did, on making this discovery, Iknow notas yet, nor do I know whether thgt Voice spoke too late or not. Let me return to the fainting Amelia, who interested us a fortnight ago. A lady reminds me ot the fashion of tight lacing, which was carried onto an incredible extent all through the last century. She also points out that, when the heroine faints, her stay-laces are instantly cut, an operation which never falls Ifa swoon was re- lieved by cutting the laces, it might be caused Or assisted by too tight lacing. Amelia no doubt followed the fashion. That rendered her liable to faintness. But the causes which we before suggested, without doubt, helped. Hence we so often come across the following passage: ‘‘Pale and fairting the helpless girl fell senseless upon the couch, where she lay with closed eyes. Sophia quick as lightning raisea her, and with her scissors cut the laces. A few moments after she languidly opened her lovely eyes, and, taking from the tearful Sophia’s hands the glass of cordial * * *,’’ Sophia, the confidante, always had her scis- sors ready for the operation which brought relief, and the cordial was never, fortunately, far to seek. Ibelleve that it was cherry brandy and that it stood on the mantleshelf like Mrs. Gamp’s gin. Certain it is that at afternoon tea cherry brandy or some other cordial ysed to be taken in the last century as a corrective to any ill effects that might fol- low thetea. Tightlucing, fainting andthe drinking of cordials—there are three good old customs all gone out. What becomes of all the old disused cus. toms’ The fact is that they go intu the Cus- tom- house of Goblin Land, where they are sometimes visited by antiquarians, histori- ans, poets and novelists. Sometimes, also, the Fairy Fashion visits the place and takes out a few forgotten customs, and restores them to the world for a brief space. It is a most remarkable museum. There is olling, curlingand powdering of the hair; there is wearing of wigs; painting the cheeks; snuff taking; playing long whist, Pope Joan, quadrille, ombre, and other forgotten games; dancing the hey, the gavotte, the minuet, the country dance, and the sara- band; drinking after dinner—the tempty bot- tles are there—a forest of empty bottles; beating the servants; singing comic songs; playing practical jokes; these are io the modern rooms. In the medieval rooms there is torturing of prisoners; burning Of heretics; boiling, roasting, and breaking On the wheel of crim, inals; blowing up with gunpowder—recently taken out and revived with dynamite ix- stead of powder; tilting and playing at tour- naments; going on pilgrimage; buying of pardons; eating with fingers, drinking out of horns, and many other curious customs. And there isthe very ancient room, where they worship ancestors or the sun, and fight the King of the Golden Bough, and offer sac- rifices to the Unknown and the Terrible; where are kept the monsters of land and sea; where they pass children through the fire— a wonderful room! They. have got a Branch of the Goblin Custom House at the Society of Antiquaries, but novelists ate not permitted to look at their collection. They admit all the rest of the world—these learned but severe antiquaries—but they draw the line at novelists; they blackball any unlucky novel- ist who may happen to p. to present himself, A lost chapter in Tennyson's Lire“ is sup- plied by Prof. Hales iu a paper in the current number of the Gentleman s Magazine. Itis a description of Louth Grammar School, at which Tennyson A scholar from 1817 to The Professor was there thirty years later, as N 5 . 22 We A, 4 2 N 0 N en Bs R ae 41 2 N. — 4 Awe) nS 7 . 1 0 a eye : Bes = 7 eh — Pew atc - 5388 1 E en ——— — Ne nan — 2 paced up and down. He very frequently avalled himself of his opportunities, and, with the masterly dexterity and quickness which distinguished him, often succeeded in touching up’ each one of usin the course of a single promenade. * * Sometimes, what brains we nad were, I suppose, per- fectly addled by the horrors’ we were going through, and so, doing our work worse and worse, the lesson would end in a general rout. The class would be seen flying in all directions, hotly pursued by the ubiguitous rod, which seemed af these times to awake into a fiendish life of its own, and to bite and lacerate spontaneously.’’ That was the kind of school that used to be. It is not quite gone yet. There is one great school, at least, where the masters are per- mitted to carry canes and to use them on the boys. Never would I allow any boy in whom I was interested to go to that school. My own experience, though not quite so ferocious as the professor’s, has been pretty bad. My first teacher was an excellent scholar, one who had been CAptain of Westminster and a Fellow of his college; he was a sound theo- logian, and 11 admirable sermons of the High and Dry type; he was a good man and charitable; he had also been champion af the Light Weights at Oxford. Yet he had but one method of meeting incapacity and idleness. That method stood always ready for use inacorner. I generally es- caped, because I was born industrious. But there was one day whenlalways caught it. That was Monday, when I had to repeat the Catechism right through. In that admira- ble summary of Christian doctrine there are two hidden rocks, on one or other of which lalwaysjsplit. One was the answer to the question, What desirest thou inthe Lord's Prayer?’’ The other was the right order of the short answers at the end. I always mixed these short answers. They had no meaning to me—not the least; they were not explained, and one answer seemed to me just as good as another. Sol gave whatever answer first came into my bead—with re- sults. Leaving this good old scholar, I wentto a grammar school. Here the masters carried canes and used them. I remember that all day long one heard the whack !.whack ! whack! ofthe cane. All day longit never stopped. There were a big room and two or three smaller rooms—whack ! whack! whack! In the big room sat two or three masters, and while the Latin grammar was being heard—whack ! whack! whack !—at one end, arithmetic was practiced at the other-whack! whack! whack! Asthe door generally stood open we could hear the voice of the Head—whack! whack! whack! — roaring rebuke from one room, while from another—whacx ! whack! whack! — came the thinner voice of the French master, but always roaring and abusing—whack! whack! whack !—with boxing of ears and calling of names—whack! whack! whack! The first morning that I joined, the boys of my form ought to have done some exercise which they did not do—whack! whack! whack! ‘‘I’ll cane the whole class,’’ roared the master; and did it—there were twenty of us. He caned the innocent new comer, me, as well whack! whack! whack! I had to take my turn, though I Was a new boy. Pluck up, young un, I still hear the other boys say encouragingly as I stood out—whack! whack! whack —to take my punishment for an of- fense I had not committed. Whack! whack! Inow understand that the possession ofa cane and the power of using it are too much for most men. A thirst of cruelty is easily generated; a brutal lust for giving pain is born; they must always. be using that instru- ment; no man inthe world should be trusted with this encouragement tocruelty. There is some black cell in man’s brain which makes him easily inclined tocruelty. The examples of Nero, and the Grand Inquisitor, and Bishop Bonner and Robesplerre have been equaled in thousands of schools. There are things told of girls’ schools; there are things whispered of nunneries; there are cases of apprentices; all showing that the irrespons!- ble power of inflicting or ordering instant punishment should never, never, be placed in the hands of anyone—man or woman. In the modern system a boy has to be sent up to the head. Time elapses between offense and punishment, time for ‘reflection, condoning, substitution of admonition for flogging. But does not the old plan, so graphically told by Prof. Hales, show why boys loathed and hated the very memory of their school, and why the calling of a schoolmaster was held in contempt? We were talking of the autograph collec- tors, and I told this story: A certain collec- tor—a lady—asked me to get her an autograph letter of Prof. F. G., a friend of my own. I agreed to ask him for his signature at least. But the great man proved curiously amiable. He very kindly said. I will give you, for your friend, notonly my signature, but also an autograph letter. He sat aown and wrote that letter, which he gave me. I read it and thanked him without asmile. At cer- tain supreme moments one has complete command of both muscles: and. nerves. The letter ran as follows: 1am pleased to be able to give the applicant, named, I believe. Walter Besant, a testimonial of personal gharacter. I would give him many testi- monials if Icould geta permanent income for a per- sistentborrower. I have known him for some years. He is frequently sober, sometimes respectful, well mannered when he pleases, and has neve: been found out, so far as I know, inanydishonesty. How far he may be trusted with other people's money, those who know him better than myself will be able to speak. For m own part, lhave never trustea him further than I could see him. He isséaid to gamble habitually, but I do not state this of personal knowledge, because I should decline to play with him even if he were to invite me. The little diffi- culty of the Right Bower up his coat sleeve at a re- centrace meeting was, he says, satisfactorily dis- posed of. He does not, asa rule, spend more than twice his wages—without counting the ticxs which he never pays. I believe that it is not true, as has been alleged, thathe has a wifein every colonial port. Hecannot do anything practical or useful. But he has a pretty wit, and has lampooned several very respectable gentiemen into the grave. In blackmailing he isa past master. It is not true that he has been frequently horsewhipped, but I know fer a fact that several persons who at various times have set out with the purpose of horsewhipping him have returned on shutters. Heisa most earnest, whole-souled gentieman. whose appointment to the post which he sees, that of window cleaner to the work-house, will give the greatest satisfaction to all those who at present have to lend him half- crowns, on application, to keep him going. (Signed) F. G. A new thing has arisen in the land. At the Authors’ Club monthly dinners, after dinner takes place a functi called Uncut Leaves. At this the members sit about the room, tobacco, of course, being exhibited, and hear the reading of papers, as yet un- published, by their authors. it is understood that no one is to take notes, and that there is to be nothing publishea, whatever may be remembered. Any breach ofthis confidence might lead to very serious results, including, one hopes, an action for damages against any paper which might stoop to publish such a cx lion. Therefore, as regards the last function, I will only say that fiction, poetry and essays contributed to make up the evening. It is quite a novel feature, and is imitated froma similar institution founded in the States, wheres however, the people have to pay for the privilege of hearing authors read their papers. The honorary sec- retary, Mr. Douglas Sladen, is quite confident of being able to keep upa supply of attrac- tive papers and popular readers 1 un w. 7. The Faults of the Greek Stage From a Modern Point ot View—Mr. Furney’s Ideas of Culture— Stories for Idle Minutes, o ; Those interested in theatrical matters will find in the work of William T. Price, The Technique of the Drama, much that is in- teresting and instractive. Mr. Price shows that he is widely read in dramatic literature, and that he has made a close study of the different schools. That his work is original cannot be said, the greater part being a com- pilation and epitomization of the views of those who have written plays and written of plays. This work has been very well done, indeed. But it is not to be sup- posed that Mr. Price has put none of his own ideas into his book. While giving weight to the opinions of those who have been recog- nized as authorities, he has no hesitation in expressing his own Views, and in some re- spects they differ widely from those held by the majority of literary men. For the Greek drama, regarded by a large and intelligent Class as the best the world has ever seen, Mr. Price has scant respect. The technical laws that governed it were in his opinion inconsistent with high art, and although he does not actually state it, the fact that he believes the Greek drama, from a histrionic, not from a literary standpoint, to have been a very crude production, is abundantly evident. The methods of the early French school are not treated with any gentler hand, although the brilliancy of such playwrights as Cor- neille ana Racine is fully admitted. The au- thor is a bitter enemy of artificiality and thoroughly modern in his spirit. He regards Victor Hugo as the pioneer inthe task of disenthralling the stage from the bond age imposed by the fixed rules laid down by the old school of writers. In fact he has very little respect for tech- nique. His division of the drama into three elements, the ethical, the sthetic and the technical, is very clearly explained, but it 18 evident that he considers the second ot far greater importance than both of the others | combined. Three acts are, in his „ the proper number for a drama, * Bn the — sitlon, the developement and clima the de- nouement. It is a little staguier that a writer imbued with so modern a spirit as Mr. Price should cling to the idea that the climax should come before the end. He objects r to a play ending with a surprise, and believes that all the charac- ters should be gotten rid of leisurely. He denounces as vicious scenery for the sake of scenery, and is not in sympathy with a cer- tain modern tendency to make a play suc- cessful by the magnificence of its setting. His chapter on adaptation and dramatiza- tion is pecullarly good. Taken asa whole the book is a valuable aid to the study of the principles of the drama and of dramatic lit- erature. * * » Elliott E.

George illustrates the edition that comes from Donohue, Henneberry & Co., — The story is the commonplace one ofa maiden who loves unworthily and marries a rascal, and is afterwards wooed and won bya good man. Butitis well told; the character of the French girl being drawn with great skill. The chief objection tothe Swedish novel is that it is too long. The Swedish writers have lenty Of material, but they have not yet earned to use it with the skill of the French- man. They daub when a touch would suffice. Herman Bjursten’s ‘‘Play of Fate’’ would be a better book if it had half the number of words. Nevertheless, it is not a book to to be laid aside at a glance because of its crudities. The translation is well done. Iz is by W. H. Myers, who translated a volume of Swedish folk lore, that is a standard reference book. The descriptions of Swedish soctal life are laboriously faith- ful, and the characters are worked out with much painstaking. A facile writer could take the matter in the book and make several excellent stories of Swedish life out of it. > > — A Blonde Creole.“ 55 Alice Howard Hil- ton, published by J. S.

It required much hard work and plenty of skill to pump the water outofthe hole and make it cover the whole pond. It must be confessed, however, that the St. Louls skaters were never as expert or practiced as the foreign or Cana- dian Skating clubmen. but it was only for lack of opportunities. The complicated designs and figures and the writing of names and initials was never in the st. Louis line. In fact most of tue St. Louls experts are skeptical as to the mame writing business and think that at best the imagination playsa very considerable part inthe work, The higher grade of expert de- signs, however, they know and understand, although it is safe to gay they never could go atit with the certainty and grace of the for- eign skaters who have at least three months a year ofr ice assured and often more than that. The possible figures'that can be cut by a fairly proficient skater are many and very interesting. The three-pointed star is an easy one and can be learned by watching anyone else who knows how to do it. Once seen the beginner will be surprised to see what a simpleand easy thing it is to do.

This attitude is not conducive to stability of balance, and should be corrected by straightening the em ployed leg and drawing in the unemployed one, at the same time raising the body to an easy, upright position. In orderto acquire a position which will lend itself most readily to the balance and at the same time admit of the greatest possible amount of force being imparted to the strokes it is necessary to hold the shoulders sidew!se, The head should be turned in the direction toward which the skateris moving, and the eyes should always be kept off the ice.

Every one will say at once this question is absurd. Yet if it is absurd, can anyone explain why? If, at the termination of one spin, the ball has fallen into stall No, 26, why should it not fall there again on the next spin as well as into any other particular stall? Chance, you will say, is against it, and you will be right, but probably without being able to give a satisfactory reason why. That Is, it is not any easy matter to give a proper definition of the word chance. A record has recently been publishea giving the results of forty-eight days’ play at rou- jette table No. 2at Monte Carlo. This record was made up by persons not connected with the establishment and is probably accurate. It shows that in these forty-elght days’ play the ball on this particular table was spun 31,374 times. On the roulette table two colors are recognized, black and red,and they are equally distributed among the thir- ty-six stalls of the wheel (excluding the zero), and we should expect that out of such a@ great number of spins the red and the black should have appeared an equal number oftimes. What actually occurred is graph- ically represented as follows: Number of Spins 31,374. Red, ‘ 15,283 Inother words, after spinning the little ivory ballaroundthe wheel 31,374 consecu- tive times—a task which occupied the greater part of each day for forty-eight days—the biack appeared just nine times oftener than the red. The average forthe difference be- tween the two colors for each day of the forty-eight was sixteen, and the greatest dif- ference between themon anyons day was fifty-seven. The greatest total difference betweenjthem at any one time was 108; that is, from the beginning of the forty-eight days of which the record was kept, the Diack and the red were never more than 108 apart, and at the end of the month and a half they were practically even. i ain, in 31,074 spins, any first-class gam- bler will tell you, each of the thirty-seven numbers (inclucing the zero) should have appeared S47 times. He will not be able to tell you why it should be so. He will merely say that, in the long run, it must be so, becausedt has always been so inthe past. Asa matter of fact one num- ber, the 7, appeared precisely 847times. Then other numbers appeared within the range from 842 to 862, and fifteen other numbers from 884 to858. So that out of 37 numbers 26 appeared within 25 of the correct mathe- maticalaverage. Of the remaining numbers 8 appeared within 50 of the required 847, and the other five were somewhat further out of the way, but the greatest error of all was seventy-nine, which is pretty good, consid- ering the number ofspins. If the record had been compiled after twice as many spins, the error would probably Mave been reduced one-half. Now in order to appreciate the full value of this record, which is sufficiently accurate to show that chance is absolutely impartial, it is necessary to dwell fora moment on some of the other averages that chance is obliged to keep up on the roulette table. There are on the roulette table 55 modes of betting, namely:. Even chase, ; dozens .and columns, 6; transyers@ts, u; Squares (French carres), 23; complete ‘transversals (transer- sals pleiner), 17; a cheva, 60; complete num bers, 37. Now, each one of these different ways has in the long run, such as that kept on record, an average tokeepup, besides which there are averages on every other possible combina- tion of chances which may possibly occur, although the means are not provided to Det onthem. Thatisthe task which chance has Black. 15,292. to face and which it accomplishes in the long run with unfailing regularity. You are now, possibly,forming something like an adequate idea of what chance is, and in order to help you still further the following supposititious case is given: suprose that instead of spinning the rou- jette ball, the Keeper of the roulette table were to employ a human being to cali out one orother of the thirty-seven numbers 30,000 times in succession, and were toin- struct himto maintain all the averages of these many chances with approximate accu- so without employing any est scrutiny. Even suppose that the roniette keeper were considerate enough to alllow the human betng to use a lead pencil and pa- per and whatever other mechanical conven- lence he might name, as well as unlimited time, he would find the task beyond his pow ers, and if he were required to make all the calculations rapidly, and in his head, he would soon give itupin disgust or becomea howling maniac. * ais : on a MONTE | = Pad 1 — kàG—ͤ— . reer Rn Gaal Bi hath te oo g — * 0 9 * 8 longer at Trente et vice versa. 6 or * that are not so many long series and even as there are on th fhaps, that certain num to follow cert or, ain others. ten id venture to dispu require such long pe sin s that few people care to examine the large number of spins necessary for furnishing results worthy of attention. Take the last case Pg: me ot ee of a cer- tain number having a tendency to follow a certain other one. This tendency may no doubt have been observed on certain occa- sions. Each number must of necessity be fol- lowed by one of the thirty-six others, and as these do not appear after it in regular rota- tion, there aretimes when some follow it more frequently than others, but all do this in turn. To take an example: a player may have noticed that during several hours of play, anumber—say fourteen—had been fol- towed by, say thirty-two, more often than by any other number; having noticed it, he is on the lookout for it, and as often as it appears forgets the occasions on which it has not done so and concludes that he has dis- covered a tendeney. But a more pro- longed examination would have convinced him that each one of the other numbers had, on other occasions, the same tendency, and that no one of them followea fourteen oftener than once in thirty-six times in the long run. Again, it was rae ty | asserted not long ago bya player who had examined the matter with some care and whois considered an authority on the subject, that a series as long are rare assert their avera as fifteen on odd or even was never enconn- tered. Asa matter of fact, in the records of the forty-eight days from which the analysis given above is taken, a series of fifteen on even does occur. But aseries of that length on any even chance is mathematica'ily due only once in 32. 767 coups, or to be more accurate—as one chance cannot be taken without the opposite one—twice in 65,534 coups. It should, more- over, be a matter of surprise if it did not occur even in three four times that large number, because eventsthat take place so seldom require proportionately long periods in order to establish themselves. Other players, again, will wait till one of the even chances has appeared a certain number of times—say six—before they begin staking against It, their argument being that after it has come up six times in succession itcannot be as likely to appear so many times more asit would be after appearing | only once. But what has gone before has no influence on whatis to follow; when,such a a series has appeared the odds against ft, viz., | 63 to 1, have already been evercome. In the same way the odds against a series of 28 are more than 256,000,000 to 1; but the moment such a series made its appearance these enormous odds would have been al- reudy vanquished and it would be only even betting against the same chance appearing | for the 29th time. For it should be remembD.- | ered that a series of is only raie because one of 2 so seldom occurs. If the latter ap- peared on 100 different occasions, on 50 of these it would go on to Dor more and on the other 0 revert to the opposite chance. By the first axiom also the absurdity or waiting foran even chance toappearany number of times before staking against it is made clear. For there are as many series of as of 7 and over 7; as many series of 7 as of8 and over s; as many series of Sas of 9 and over 9 and so on. No matter how many timesit appeared the relative odds against the number of times it would continue to appear wouldalways re- main the same. P Some players belleve in combinations. of either a number and a color, or a color and one of the dozens, or some other of the numerous combinations possible, by employ. | ing which, they tell you, they will be unlikely | to lose often, That may be true, Dut on the few occasions of their doing so they lose what it takes them a long time to recover. A system ofthis kind should be tested by writing Gown all the numbers, and opposite | each the amount which would have been won or lost by its appearance.

TO DESTROY A LEANING TOWER. The Torre Nueva at Saragossa Has Be- come Too Dangerous. Written for the SuNDAY Fosr-Disrarck. The Torre Nueva, or new tower of Sara- gossa, is to be pulled down. This tower rivals tha¢ famous one at Pisa in its inciin- ation from the perpendicular. It has gone so far in the four centuries since its erection that it has bécome dangerous and is now in course of demolition. The tower was built in the market place of Saragossa, known as the Plaza San Felipe, in 1504, and at the time the workmen began tearing it down leaned ten feet outof the The Torre Nueva Tower. (With Diagram Showing Ground Plan and Cross Section. } . perpendicular. In general style the tower is Moorish, yet coarserin detail) than the gen- ulne Saracenic architecture of Spain. The fact that it was dangerous was reason enough for pulling it down, Dut it should have been rebuilt ona proper foundation, not totally destroyed. The tower before demolition began was 230 feet high. The walis for the first two stages on the leaning side were 18 feet thick and on the opposite side 12 feet thick. The extra thickness on the south, or leaning side, was made in 1860. The central staircase is 12 feet wide and is built in a closed well to the top ofthe structure. Thetower is 42 feet wide at the base, diminishing to 30 feet at the top.

There are also the superstitions players those who back the number of their room at the hotel,orof the railroad car in which they traveled, or the first number they noticed on vntering the salon—or some number they dream of, read or hearrepeated. Hundreds do this every day, and it therefore follows, the odds being only 36 tol againgt each, that several must do it successfully. But the loser is reticent, or those who win talk much about it, and this superstition is kept alive. There isa tendency apparent to all who spend much time at the tables for events of every description to appear, not regularly, but in clusters. This tendency is relied upon by the old hands who haunt the tables day after day, watching as a heron watches a stream, and, like that patient bird, making only an occasional plunge. This may do when the tendency referred to appears to be strongly marked, and they contend, with some reason,that an element of skill is thus imparted into what would be otherwise en- tirely a matter of chance. It isa tendency which does not belong to games of chance a lone, but is observable in all matters beyond Our control. In fact, clustering of events is absolutely necessary in orderto maintainan average. An average can only be kept up in one or two ways. 1. By perfect regularity. 2. By clustering.

Dolph used to turn out some very pretty pictures on the ‘‘outside edge“ and was especially clever on ‘‘pan- handile’’ rights when he would putinhalfa doten turns on one foot, About six years ago or so there was a new crop of skaters who stood in open-mouthed Cross Roti Rights. e@miration when Cliff Allen and fd Zukowsy Game down with the front and back locomo- tive, making the ice fly in every direction. ender was not bad in those days and hada favorite three-pointed star which he worked when lonesome, _ Costeand Percy Hoffman used to take in a third man and do some very clever work on one and two feet, and had the Mercury step, as it was then called, well under con- trol, to say nothing of their other move: ments. : Whitelaw was also one of the good onesabout that time.

Toa person who Watches a pond full of skaters it seems as though each bad a style distinctively his Own. No two win carry themselves just alike. ‘There will de the man who moves along in short, quick stroke, as though skating were a very disagreeable oc- Chief cupation and he wanted to be through with | attitude should be carried is almost the same on three edges out of the entire possible four. astfollows: Inside edge forward, inside edge backward; outside edge backward. But on the remaining edge, namely, the outside edge forward, the position may be eased up a trifie. Ihe outside edge forward Is the normal way of advancing, and no per- son may properly call himself a skater who isnot proficient inthis respect. Although the inside edge forward in correct skating should be employed only in figure-making, it is the way that is used by fully nine-tenths ofthe skaters in the vicinity of New York. When the skater is traveling upon an outside forward edge the line of the shoulders shows across the line of the foot, so as to make with it upon the side to which the skater fronts an angle of about 135 deg. When traveling upon either of the other three edges this angle should be opened still further and should be from about 160 deg. in the case of an inside forward edge to 170 deg. in the case of an outside back edge. ‘hese various po- sitions are delineated in figure 3. which Is drawn for the right foot, and in which the line of the shoulders ts, in the case of each edge, indicated by a dotted line. The arms should be held easily at the sides, although considerable latitude is allowed in this regard, it being understood thatin no case shall they be swung u or held akimbo. After the stroke is made the unem- ployed leg should be drawn up to the other, with the toe of the foot pointing outward and downward, When the next stroke is uiade it should be done easily, with a sway of the body, tothe other balance. The accompany- ing cuts adequately illustrate these remarks. The eye can at once distinguish between what is graceful and what is awkward, and it is only necessary to enjoin upon the reader the fact which has a n stated, that the chief thing to be attained is gracefuiness. It is a singular fact that out of the total number of women who skate the great ma- jority do so correctly. With men it is differ- ent. They either lack those elements of gracefulness which are attributed to the op- — sex or else they are impatient and, finding that they can keep their balance on the ice, strike out inany way that comes most convenient. His Letter. From the Harvard Lampoon. **DEAR FATHER: ree 8 re — be wrote, A * note, t 1 0 nd attention * ' me to mention add : so as tonegiect no interest, leaves out no combination, color, number of series. Chance, therefore, does what a human being can never hope to do. Instead of beinga haphazard sort of thing,to which one should never trust himself, it is quite on the con- trary regularity and Infallibility itself. Ifa man wisbes to make a crowning success of life he should conduct Limself entirely at random, exactly as the roulette ball does. In the matter of chance two axioms may be laid down. That ts, there are two truths whicn are self-evident. They are as follows: There are: As many intermittences as series of 4 and over 2. As many series of 2as of 3 and over 3. As many series of 3 as Of 4 and over 4. And so on to infinity. Inexplanation ofthis it is enough to say that an intermittence means, as the word indicates, any other collection or contribu- tion of numbers than & series or sequence. For instance 1, or 2, . are intermittences. A series of 21s 3. 4, or 7, 5, ete. The second axiom is as follows In matters of chance allevents takt place in the run, according tothe probabilities for or against their taking piace—t, e., according to the odds for or against them. The truth of this proposition has been es- tablished beyond all question both by careful observation of chance working over long perlods and by the demonstration of eminent mathematicians, Thererore,bearing in mind thess4wo axioms, it is very interesting to note bow accurately they enforced them- selves during the %1,3:4 spins of the little ivory ball. ‘ihe following table showed what actually took place.

One O’CLock.—I see through the window as Icome back from church that the Crumm- ses are at high dinner. Crumms himself is in his shirt-sleeves and on his legs, and looks very much as if he were making a speech. There are cries ot Bravo, Pa!’’ and a great deal of laughter, both of which subside very rapidly as I knock, One of the smallest of the very small Crummses comes to the door, with her iittle cheeks and ¢hin bearing unmista- kable signs of pudding. She just peeps out to see who itis and then scampers away, asif afraid oflosing some of the good things in the parlor, For this want of respect to the lodger I hear her mamma rebuke her sternly, and then Crumms says, Never mind, mother; nobody is naughty on New Year’s Day. Rounds ofapplause. I go up- stairs and pa proceeds with his speech. Two o’CcLocKk.—lI ring the bell for some hot water and Crumms answers it in full waiter’s dress—white tie, dress coat anda low-cut Nö, showing a lars amount of shirt front with an elaboraté frill. He walks into the room as if he is very proud of himself and is more waliter-like in his manner than usual. **Hot water to wash with, sir? Yes, sir.’’ Disappears and reappears with the jug, which he-sets down upon the table. „Why, Crumms, Ilask, ‘‘where are going?’’ „Out waiting, sir.“ He pauses for a minute, then becomes less majestic and more confidential. ‘*I always go out waiting on as New Year's Day. he adds. and I have been to the same house for the last fourteen years. The gentleman and lady are a couple as came to the Crown Hotel the year I mar- ried Mrs. Crumms. We were both at the hotel, you know, and were just leaving to come up here. The lady took a great liking to Mrs. Crumms, and one day she said tome: go ou and your wife are going up to Lon- don, Crumms. Now, you must come and wait at my house when We want help.’ And 1 you have been there every New Year’s Day since then—not missed one. I go on other days’’ —he says this quickly in an off-handed man- ner, as if the other days were of no import- ance— but they ain't regular. ou go there and help wait, I suppose?’’ „Woll, I do most of the waiting; all of it, 22 may say. he replies. ‘*They don’t keep a man, and there are only the female ser- wants. They ain't much good, not like Mrs. OCrumms. She could wait, she could. she was wonderfully handy. That's what first made me look at her!“ „And where do you go to?“ I inquire. **Bedford Square. Domville is the gentle- man's name. On the spur of the moment, just to see what Crumms will say, Lask, Will you take me with you to-day?’’ Tou, sir!“ he replies, in surprise. Weill Seal, sir, I don’t think Mr. Domville * would—though I have known him these four- teen years, I’m afraid he'd think it rather ptuous of me to introduce a gentle- man into bis house“? **I suppose so, lanswer;the idea of the waiter introducing & friend aw 4 guest at the "dinner being certainly very absura. But I didn’t mean that. Take me with you to se **Youd You go out waiting!“ says Crumms, holding bis breath. „es, if you will take me.“ ‘*Well! I ao call that a good joke, gasps out. Lord. sir, what an idea!“ Then, dropping his waiter-like manner altogether and becoming thoroughly human, he bursts out laughing. I nad only intended tochaf Crumme, but it strikes me that going out with him will be more lively than spending New Year’s day by myself, and I begin to hope that he will he take me. „dare say Mr, Domville would have no objection to an extra band,’’ I urge, ‘‘and I coulda go asa young friend ‘ot yours who is just beginning and wants to learn his busi. ness. „Sir,“ pants Crumms again, you ain't serious. **By Jove, I am, though, ISsay. I don’t what on earth to do with myself all day. I should like to go out waiting.“ Orumfhis’ laughter, which is very prolonged and loud, and accompanied with a great deal of coughing and wheezing—for he ig rather stout—brings bis wife up the stairs, and finally into my room. She begs my pardon for the intrusion and then turns to her hus- band. „rumms, she says, you. mustn’t excite yourself. Remember you are going out wait- ** „es, yes, my dear; I remember,“ he ‘answers, as soon as he recovers his breath. But nere is Mr. Herbert wanting to go out waiting too.“ Mr. Herbert! says my landlady, sur- in her turn. „es, Mr. Herbert, repeats Cramms; one — ogra bursts out again like a smoulder- tmmieaiat began to enlist Mrs. Crumms side. is a merry, good-natured with rather a partiality to wild It is just what t would do, sir. she continues, and I did think you were such a quiet y gentieman, Mr. Herbert. Law! Crumms,’’ she adds, turning to bim, you wouldn’t spoil a dit ot fun like that, I know. „But Mr. Domville——’’ begins her hus- band, **Nonsense, Mr. Domvilie!““ ghe replies. He needn’t know; and if he does, why he'd laugh as much as any one.“ But you will be careful, sir, won't you?“ says Crumms, yielding to the two of us. „Tou won't let Mr. Domville know. There isn’t ahy one likely to be there as wilt recog- nize you, I hope.’’ Isatisfy him on these points; then Mrs. Crumms, with a due regard for her position among her neighbors, raises one nearer home. It won't do, though, sir, she says, or you and Crumms to go out together. The people about here all Know that he is going out waiting; and may be, if they saw you to- gether they might think you Were a waiter too. I don't see that it would matter if they did, but to my landlady such a mistake seems to represent some dreadful calamity; so it is arranged that Crumms shall go first and send a cab, and then wait for me inthe crescent a little distance off. THREE O’cLocKk.—Crumms and Tare in the cab on our way to Bedford square. The whole time he is either laughing at my going out with him or nervous as to the result. In the latter mood he is almost piteous in his entreaties to me to be careful, dnd repeats over and over again his directions how to wait. Westop the cab at the corner of the street leading to one square and walk onto house. Itis a big house hit a large hall. There is a window by the street-door at one end, anda broad staircase at the other. The dining-room is fair-sized; ths walls are painted and hung round with pictures. Itis rather dark and heavy-looking, however, and the furniture is old and massive. There are three servants going about with trays and piles of plates, busy laying out the table. They stare at me as I stand by the side of Crumms, who introduces me as a young friend who wants to see a little genteel wait- ing, and whom he has made bold enough to bring. Then, asifthat settled the matter, he goes off into business, and asks several questions as to the number and names of the guests. I notice that the servants alltreat him with great respect, and he, in return, is conde- scending and politetothem., With me, when they are inthe room, he assumes an author ative air and all the time he is very grave and looks as if the cares of his position were too much for him. Hesmiles once when we are alons, as I hand him a jelly and then, his muscles being relexed, his old fit of laughing suddenly breaks outagain. He cannot laugh aloud, but he laughs inwardly and shakes 60 tremendously thatthe jelly rollsand trem- bles to arralarming degree, and it is only by the means of promptly taking it under my own “protection, that I save it from being shaken onto the floor. **O Lor’! tothink of you being here, he mutters; and the next instant is gravity itseif, as Mrs. Domville's voice is heard on the stairs. She isa middle-aged lady, and speaksina friendly manner to Crumms, and is particu- lar in her inquiries after his wife and chil- dren. He points me out asa young friend of his, who has come to help him; and Mrs. Domville seems quite satisfied, and goes up- stairs again tothe drawing room. Four O’cLock.—The dinner is ready and all the guests have arrived. Crumms stations me behind the door, and goes himself to the head of the table, and I watch the people as they come into the room and take thelr places., They ore mostly middle-aged, like their hostand hostess, and evidently old friends for several nod to Crumms, and one gentle- man is quite hearty in his greeting, and says it would not seem like a New Year's dinner without him. Mr. Domville laughs and asxs after Mrs. Crumms, but Crumms refuses to be thawed, and replies in a tone as if such trifiing questions interfered with the res pon- sibility of his position. So far everything has gone right. Then comesasiight mishap. Just as everybody is seated and silent, and Mr. Domville going to Say grace, Crumms gives me a signal, and I step forward quietly to close the door. The movement attracts the attention ofa young lady who ts sitting with her back to me, and she turns around. she evidentiy has not noticed me before,and her laughing gray eyes scan mewith surprise. My face is a new one to heramongthe many well-known faces arougd the table. Isuppose she thinks Tama gue whohas arrived late and just came into the room, and, seeing me standing thereand no one takingany notice of me, she says, courteously: Isn't there a chair for you?’’ Then turn ing round to Mrs. Domville,‘‘O, aunt! here Is a gentieman left outside in the cold.“ Mr. Domville, instead of saying grace, looks up, stares and half rises from his chair, while the company all turn toward me. It 18 certainly an embarrassing moment, but Mrs. Domville comes to the rescue and says quiet- ly, It is quite right, Helen.’’ The young lady looks a little confused, and then Crumms, in his nervousness, spoils every- thing by rushing up to her and caHingout He's come to help me wait, Miss Linton. ‘My champion thereupon blushes very deeply and begs my pardon, several of the guests have simultaneous twitchings of the mouth, Crumms looks half angrily,half apol- ogetically at me, and at last Mr. Domville, ina shaky voice, says grace, while Miss Lin- ton bends her head very low and hides her face. The next minute Crumms, serious ana 1 as ever, removes the cover of the saup, and the dinner begins. I believe I acquit myself creditably. Crumms declares that I did wonderfully well, and is inclined to think, I belleve, that I have wasted natural talent by not being a waiter. At any rate, I don’t spill anything over anybody’s dress or knock anybody on the head. Icarefully watch Crumms for his signals and, thanks to having been at a din- ner before, though notin thecapacity of a waiter, Ihavesome idea what oughtto be done and so remove the right covers and hand around such dishes as ought to be handed atthe proper time. The greatest dlf- ficulty I have is to keep my countenance, par- ticularly when Ihand anything to Miss Lin- ton. Sheisso bright looking, and it Is such fun to see the sparkle in her eyes and the way they dropt they meet mine, anda little re- pressed smile steals over her lipsthat ic taxes my powers to the utmost to keep from laughing. I feel that I should very much like to change places with the young fellow sitting by her side. He does not seem to have very much to say for himself, and he examines every dish, as it is handed to him, through aneye-glass. His inspection is so long, and his nose is so close, that I have a growing inclination each time to bob the dish up in his face. For morethanhalf the dinner he is silent; then he talks a little politics—stanch Conservatism—and Miss Linton immediately enunciates the strongest Radical principies,upholds woman’s suffrage and their having seats in Parliament. This seems to overwhelm him, and he retires from the contest with a sigh. Later on hetries again, pies are being handed round. Mili you have a happy-month?’’ he asks, with a faint smile, which disturos his eye- glass and brings it down into his lap. He re- adjusts it slowly, and, not trusting himself to repeat the joke, asks her to have some mince pie. No, thank you; I never eat them, she re- Nes. ‘ Have you never tasted them?“ he says, frowningas if he were a barrister cross- ‘examining a witness, but probably because his glass gives a promonitory slip. Oh, yes; Ihave tasted them, but I don’t care about them, she answers. He has no comment to make upon her reply, when the mince and he helps himself in silence. 3 — — iss mistakin a gentieman, too, W a joke! AN he adds, as if he suddenly feels that he has made rather a mistake himself, ot course, that is what you are, and a gent is always agent, I say. But you understand, sir. It was so lu- dicrous.’’ . ‘*Perfectly. I understand, Crumms. What Bre you going to do now?“ Well, sir,“ he says, coming a little near- er, 1 generally have something in the housekeeper’s room. Maybe you wouldn't like that, though we should be quite alone.’’ As I want something to eat, and am not particular where I get it, I tolow Crumms down stairs into the kitchen. The servants there are busy washing up the plates and dishes, amid a general smell of dinner and hot water, whichis far from pleasant. The housekeeper takes us at once into her room, where there is a cloth spread upon a table, and a row of the good things from upstairs on a kind of dresser. No are sure you don’t mind, sir,’’ says Crumms to me, when we arealone, ‘‘because I'll wait till you are done if you Uke. I am not hungry. But Jam, aud Ishall not begin till you do, Ianswer, and we sit down together. The soup is cold and fast becoming a jelly; the fish looks mangled and unsavory—so I de- cline soup and fish. Ifindthatthe having a little something in the kitchen, after dinner is over upstairs, requires training before it becomes really enjoyable. Crumms evidently hag had the full amount of training that 1s necessary. For a man who professes not to be hungry, and who has had a good dinner a few hours before, he displays a capability for eating that istruly wonderful. I prefer the dishes that have not been touched up- stairs; he, un the contrary, is onequally good terms with all of them. However, I get quite enough to satisfy me, and there is a novelty in eating one’s New Year’s dinner witha waiter in a back kitchen. The wine certainly isthe best part. Crumms has taken care there shall be plentg of that, and makes a most liberal host whe Mr. Domville’s port and sherry. SEVEN o’CLOCK.—Crumms says he must take the coffee up to the gentlemen, and leaves the room. No sooner is he gone than one ofthe servants comes in, apparently in search of something. Whatever it 1s, she does not findit. She hunts about vaguely for a minute, and then stops opposite to me. **So Miss Linton took you fora gentleman,“ she says with a laugh. Howe nice!“ Mies Linton made an unfortunate mis- take, 1 answer gravely, imitating Crumms’ mannef. Well, I don’t know about that, she ra- plies. ‘‘There iscertainly an excuse for her doing so.“ This strikes me as deing open flattery, but under the circumstances not agreeable ;more- over, the speaker is rather warm from stand- ing over her tub of hot water, and very plain into the bargain.

The name quite makes me start. „By Jove, fit should be Miss Linton!’ 1s my muttered thought. halt hope it may be; I half hope it may not be; and I haven't time to decide which half is the stronger, before Miss Linton her- seif comes laughing up the stairs. At the very glimpse of her, I instinctively draw back intothe shade, and she and her mamma pass by without noticing me. It seems very ridiculous to meet the same young lady twice in one evening, firstasa waiter, and then as a guest; but there—it Is done, it is a fait accompli; and Miss Linton and I are once more under the same roof. I wonder if she will recognize me, and I watch her with interest as she goes round the room. Sooneror later we must meet face to face; and the awkward moment comes sooner t.an I expect. „„When Miss Linton reaches the door where Roche is standing with his partner, she stops there and talks to them when they are not dancing. „el there any lemonade, Edward?’’ she asks presently. ‘‘I want some, if there is.’’ „That's a bad sign, Nelly, after dining out,“ he answers with a iaugh. ‘‘There is some down-stairs.

Itis a very natural error, of course, and, to keep up the deception, I put the glass on a tray and go gravely up-stairs. She ig quite composed now, and thanks me uncohcernediy asI hand her the lemonade. Then we stand hand in hand—I holding the tray in both hands—till the dance finishes, and Roche comes out to us.

What Miss Linton did say to her mamma, of course I don’t know;, if she did laugh at her, Mrs. Linton must have taken it very good- naturedly, for when I go up stairs after supper she calls me *‘Mr. Walter,“ and the name sticks tome all the rest of the even- ing.

There is a further note in my diary for that New Year Day-something about Miss Linton which, perhaps, it will be as well to let re- main private.

Picallily Nivers married somewhat late in life into the Tewktilton family, much to the disgust of one Meg Bellwhisker, who had set her heart on becoming Mrs. Picallny Nivers herself. If the Nivers annals as presented on occasion by Mr. Curly Nivers are true, it would have been well for his family peace, and saved him and them much trial and trib- ulation if Picallily Nivers had married the Bellwhisker lady, but it would have bereft Mr. Curly Nivers of a tale in the narration of which he revels, for it more than any other of the chronicles of his ancient and honored line gives him opportunity to reveal to wondering listeners startling examples of the genius that made the fame of the Nivers family at the very beginning of things on the old Passadanky. / Jou see, says Curly Nivers, the family narrator, Black Cat Holler had the name o“ bein’ a great hangin’-out place fer witches an’ witchin’ in them days, an’ tha’ hain't no doubt but what sech wasthe case, fer it has be’n handed down so in the Nivers family, an’ that is evidence strong enough to hang a man. If tha was any doubt about it at all this little chapter in the doin’so’ the Picallily Niverses would settle it quicker’n a witch could say ‘Scat!’ to her cat. So when Picallily give Meg Bellwhisker the go-by an’ hitched to the Tewkillton gal every body said: They better look out, them Picallily Niverses had, an’ keep theirsyes peeled on Meg Bellwhisker, fer she’s mad, and tha hain’t no one in the hull o' Black Cat Holler that’s got the makin’ o’ a natur’ fer witchin, like she lias.’ „Well, Picallily an’ his wife know’d that tha wan' t no use o' Keepin’ their eye peeled a’ gin witchin’, fer if any one’s gointer witch vou tha hain’t no way to stop their doin’ of it, unless you know the charms that work agi’n witchin’, an’ most folks don't know "em; an’ so the Picallily Niverses jist let things run. Time slipped on an' nothin’ turned upto show that Meg Bellwhisker had any idee o’ witchin’ of ’em, though folks said that she l’arntso much about doin’ it that she could give all the boss witchers tha was in Black Cat Holler all the p’ints they wanted an' beat em easy. The Picallily Niverses never had but two children an’ they was both gals. Like all the Nivers gals, by Jupes, they was sweeter an’ pootier than any other gals tn their hull deestric, an’ they was the apple o' their parents’ eye. The next best family tothe Picallily Niverses in Black Cat Holler, was the Woppleses an’ young Higholder Wopples, when he was 22 married Picallily’s oldest daughter. She was 18. Her sister was 16 an’ her name was Hanner. The Niverses wouldn’t let Higholder and his wife live anywheres but with them,’cause Picallily coulcn’t bear to hav o’ his gals outen his sight. When they had been married a year ulgholder had to go way into the Scrubgrass country to ‘tend to ‘some business. While he was there tha was a baby born in the Nivers house, an’ Higholder was a pap, an’ Picallily was a gran’pap. Tha wa’n’t nuthin’ on top o'“ earth ekal to that Nivers gran’son, ’cordin’ to Picalllly, an’ the house couldn’t hardly hold all the joy tha was in it. But the Picallily Niverses fergot that there mowt be shadders lurkin’ around 'em. They didn’t know that mehbe this mowt be the time that Meg Bellwhisker was waitin’ fer! Everybody that had see the wonderful Wop- ples baby had said: Why, sakes alive! It won't fill a pint measure. Is' pose that was the littlest baby that ever come into the Nivers family or any other family, an’ tha was them that couldn’t help whisperin’ now and then on the sly: Dont you b'llevo Meg Bellwhisker has put a spell on it an’ stunted it?“! But, bless you! setch a thort never got into the head o' Picallily Nivers, fer he didn’t see anything little about the baby. Jist the contrary, by Jupes! Well, when this Nivers’ gran’child was a month old, an’ fore its pap had got home yet, ts mother left it with her sister one afternoon, while she took a jaunt over to the Village. She hadn’t come back yit when it got dark. She didn’t come back all that night, an’ fer all they could do they couldn't wit no track of her. The last person that see her was ol' Betsey Crawler. seen her hurryin’ to’ards home jist “fore dark,’ said Betsy. ‘Meg Bellwhisker an’ her cat was trottin’ along not fur behind her.’ Then for the first time Picallily Nivers smelta mouse. Meg's begun on me, sure as guns’! he says, an’ started as tight as he could go fer Meg’s house, atthe fur end of the Holler. Tha wasn’t nobody there. The place was empty an’ as black insideasa bar’lo’ pitch. Nobody had seen Meg since ol’ Betsey Crawler see her, an’ nobody never seen her in Black Cat Holler agin; but wuen Pacalilily Nivers was tearin’ his hair an’ moanin’ an’ groanin’ over this sudden takin’ offo, hisfirst born, he could hear some one larfin’ an’ yellin’ an’ mockin’ in his ears, an,the catterwaulin’ an’ spittin’ o’ cats, an’ he swore nobody else could a done itbut Meg Bellwhisker. They sent word to young Higholder Wopples, but it took a good while fer news to travel ’way over tothe Scrubgrass country in them days an’ ‘fore he it sumpin’ else terrible happened the Picallily Nivers family. was a week after the baby’s mammy had disapperred, an’ one day t’other sister couldn’t be found, an’ no more could the great Nivers gran’son! What could a became of em tha wa'n't a bit o' sign, high or low! But Picallily Nivers heard the mockin’ laughs an’ yells as he heerd’em afore an’ the horrible catterwaulin’ of the cats, as he moaned anti tore his hair, an’ couldn’t sleep a wink. An’ by an’ by young Higholder Wopples got the heart-rendin’ newsan’ kim tearin’ home. Ev'ry which way he s’arched fer weeks and months, but it wa’n’t no use. Not/a word or sign of the missin’ folks could he find, an’ he giveit up an’ tare his hair along with poor ol’ Picallily. The Passadanky Niverses was, an is yit, a fur-seein’ an’ wide- awake lot o' folks, but tha wa’nt-none of ’em that could ‘see so fur or keep their eyes wider open than young Bailiwick Nivers could, cording to my idee, and not? cause he arterw’ds got to be my gran’pap, nuther. He were the son of Uncie Lambkin and Aunt Wishful Nivers, as every- body called em, an’ they kep' the ol’ Passa- danky Tavern in them days. At the time trouble was settin’ down so heavy on the Picallily Niverses young Bailiwick was com- in’ 18. Black Oat Holler was a good ways from Old Passadanky, an’ Picallily’s folks an’ Uncle Lambkin’s folks bein’ only distant relations, they wasn’t very thick. Conse- kently they didn’t know at Old Pessadanky nothin’ about the trials an’ tribbleations at Black Cat Holler. One . afternoon, "long about the time that yaung Wapples’ wife dropped outo’ sighto’ folks, a queer, skeery-lookin’: ol” woman come trampin’ | onter the ol’ Passadanky. She carried a long, crooked stick, an’ was leadin’ a young, disconsolit-lookin’ b’ar bya string, while a big black cat trotted alon her side, an’ sometimes jumped up on her shoulder, where it would ride a spel), crookin’ its back an’ glarin’ an’ spittin’ at things nobody could see. The ol’ woman looked too oe mon witchy fer folks to hev anything to say to, an' they let her an’ her bear an’ ber cat have all the room they wanted, a ev'ry body felt sorry for the dar. tavern young inthe door. He hadn’t no A , 4a R the * = 8 See RE ae apa bein’ at hac sf 5 oun 8 . 12 ; A Paes „ 5 out o' sight. motioned in direction they had gone and says: m?’ pain says Bailiwick, ‘put jist mind what I tell yar!” er „Tha was an ol’ shanty up in the mount - haunted by Swearin’ spook, an' the spook of ol’ Sabin Swaley’s Kickin’ hogs, But what does the witchy-lookin’ woman do but go plumb to that spooky place an’ take possession of it with her b’ar an’ Aer cat! An’ what does she do, by Jupes, but skeer away Swearin’ Bill’s spook an’ the kickin’ hoss’ spook fore she'd been in the shanty three nights; an’ arter they had skeered ev'ry body pooty nigh out o' the deestric’ for forty year! Now, wa’n’t shea cheerful neighbor to squat herself down ’mongst setch folks as the Niverses of ol’ Passadanky? A week arter this spook in flesh an’ blood, folks called her, had settled down in the deestric. The stage from the East was late one night, an’ as that discomfuddled Aunt Wishful, cause the tavern was a place where travelers eat supper, an’ the stage bein’ late shet dawn on the time theyorter had, she didn’t hev time to pay much attention to a booty young gal that got off o'“ the stage an’ kim inter the town carryin’a baby. She went in the settin’-room, an’ lookin’ around in a s’prised sort o' way laid the baby on the settee, an’ huntin' upgAunt Wishful says to her: „Where is she?’ : „Where's who?’’ says Aunt Wishful, stop- pin’ with her hands full o' dishes. ***My sister!’’ the pooty young gal says, an’ before Aunt Wishful could git over her surprise the gal’s face brightened up, an’ she hollers out: ‘There she is! I hear ber callin’ me!’ Then sheruns out o’ the tavern an’ nobody seen her ag'in. „Now, Aunt Wishful nor none of em hadn’t noticed the baby that the gal had laid on the settee, but arter the stage had started away ag 'in, an’ ben gone fifteen minutes or more, young Bartinick Nivers says to his pap: 5 Pap. n!“ »Uncle Lambkin Niver took his pipe outen his mouth, looxed at Bailiwick with his mouth an’ eyes wide open, an’ was jist goin’ ter ast Balliwick to explain hisself when Aunt Wishful kim tearin’ in, — r — © „ *‘Lambkin Nivers, she says as she could git her breath, ‘what ‘a’y think nas happened?’ PF lookin’ ** *Sumpin,’ skeert hisself.

The putty young gal that came in an’ ast fer her sisterhas gone away an’ fergot her baby Uncle Lambkin“ let his pipe drop kersmash on the floor, throwed up his hands, an’ all he could find it in him to say was: ‘* ‘Great Stumblin’ Socrates!’ **Ev’rybody was excited, all but Bailiwick. They hunted ev’rywheres, but couldn't find the gal. They chased the stage on hossback, an’ overhauled it, but she wa’n’t in it, an hadn’t ben. So what under the canopy was Aunt Wishfal an’ Uncle Lammm' goin ter do with the baby, havin’ ten young uns o' their own already. Arter turnin’ the baby over an’ arguin’ onev’ry side o' the situation, Aunt Wisbful at last came toa conclusion. „Well,“ saysshe, ‘* ‘the only thing she can do is to send it away some’re. Now, it happened that when the pooty gal was ‘In the tavern, short a time as it was, Balliwick had ketched twoor three glances of her eyes, an’ they had gone inter his boosum furder than he’d ever felta gal’s eyes digafore. When his mammy kim to the conclusion that they’a hef to send the baby away some’rs, Balliwick says: **That youngun got an aunt some’rs on — oO” earth,’ he says. ‘He stays right he And that settled it. What Bailiwick said in them days was all that was needed around, the old Passadanky tavern. So the baby staid with Aunt Wishful. And ther wasn’t no more news around the deestric’ for a day or two, ’cept what young Tony Peppling brought in. ses the ol’ witchy- woman has got sum- pin’ else at the shanty sides the hopeless lookin’ b’ar an' the black cat, says Tony, at the tavern. ** *So?’ says Uncle Lambkin. , What's the ol’ rip got?’ ‘**A white deer,’ says Tony. 90 ‘Ev’ ry bedy had consid’able to say "bout that, ’causé setch a thing asa white deer hadn’t been heerd ofonthe Ol’ Passadanky fer forty year an' better. But all that Bail - wick Nivers said was: " ‘Pap,’ says he, pen.’ Now, Is’pose you think nat’rally that 1 m gointer say that the queer little young "un growed up in Aunt Wishful’s family, but Ihain’t! lean‘t, cause he didn’t growed u atall, by Jupes! When he was 10-ye ol he wa’n’t no bigger than a 3-year-old by, but he was the brightest little codger an’ the strangest one that ever was, Dut he couldn't hear, nor he couldn't talk. His home was with Uncle Lambkin’s folks, O' course, but he lived in the woods more’n he did any wheres else. Hedidn’t play with boys, but with b’ar cubs an’ wiidcat kittens an’ fawns an’ the likes o’ that. An’ he wasn’t afeerd o“ grown-up b’ars, an’ if they showed fight agin him he fit ‘em like David did Gollar, with stones andasling. Thar wa’nt bo bul- let could go straighter than a stone outen that oncommon young un’s sling an’ when it went it went to kill. Though he couldn’t hear nor talk, Bailiwick had l'arnt him to talk on his fingers an’ when he felt like it he’d have a few words to say to folks. but he didn’t often feel like it. An’ he never had no name but Davy. The witch woman an’ her b’ar an’ her cat and her white deer kep’ on livin’ in the shanty. An’ every New Year eve an’ ev’ry New Year day an’ night poor old Picalllly Nivers d hear the mockin’ lar ts an’ the cat - terwaulin’ in her ears, an’ awful moanin’ and wallin’s, Uke his gals in sufferin’, keep- ing the wounds Jost as fresh as they was ten years afore. Bailiwick Nivers didn’t know’ nothin’ about that trouble, but he had some. queer idees about the ol’ woman in the shanty, but he wasn’t sartin. One day he was, out huntin’ and he came onter little Davy, settin’ on a log longside of a b’ar. Davy didn’t see Bailiwick, an’ pooty soon Bailiwick heerd a noise in the bushes, an’ lookin’ around he sawa white deer comin’ along.

The conference was pro- ductive of much good will and of a thorough ing between the delegates which Med to the good ot all the institutions presented. The organization of the con- C@ was not entirely destroyed, and it may be renewed. The active workers in the St. Louls World's Association are busily engaged in mak- arrangements forthe furnishing of the library 4 reading-room and the pressroom jof the Missouri State Building, which have ‘been turned over to the st.

The asylum has a capacity for 150 children and is made to accommodate 200 and more attimes. Onan average about 350 children passthrough the asylum each year. The girls are taught to sew, cook, wash and bear a part in all household duties. A Kine’s Daughter in Ontario, A St. Louts King’s Daughter, who is greatly interested in charitable works and organiza- tions of all kinds, recently received a com- munication from a distant dack woods set- tloment in Ontario, the post-oMce of which Bear Cave, bears the significant name 91 containing a modest account ofa neble work done by Mrs. Eldrige, a King’s Daughter. The community to which Mrs. Eidrige be- longs consists of about eiguteen faml- lies, scattered over an area of four- teen square miles. When Mrs. Eldrige settled there in 1885 there was no school or service ofany kind. She and her daughters collected a number of Bibles and some old Sunday- school books and organized a Sunday-schoo! und an adult Bible class. Out of their efforts has grown a day school. Jo quote from Mrs. Kldrige’s letter ‘‘Since we came here there has not been a week that we have not been able to do some- thing, nursing the sick and comtorting the bereaved, or some lIittie good. We done good by teaching sewing in some of the families and in helping them to work for their large families. German M. E. Sunday-School. Church on Taylor and Cottage avenues held ifs Christinas exer- clses on Monday night. The programme was very interesting. The choir of the church sang several musical numbers and tne infant Class also sang. Misses Annie and Katie Hesse rendered a vither duet, and Miss Mamie Berckmant gave a recitation. A cantata closed the musical programms. Among the children who took part in the exercises of the evening were Helen Reitz, Gussie Magsamen, Mary and Katie Seitz, Flora Reitz, Olivia Busick, Tillle and Jennie Pahl, Emma Rossman, Minnie Haus- man, Katie Eichman, fillte Magsamen., Wesley Busick, Lioyd Witt, Willie Rossman, Ella Metz, Wulle Seitz, Joe Blattner, Louls Oswalt, and August Blattner.

The President, Mrs. Huntington Smith, assisted by other well-known ladies, distrib- uted the good things to the children. Mrs- Peugnet bestowed a Silver cross suspended on a blue ribbon to the little girl who had attained the greatest proficiency with her needle and a silver medal on the best ittle cook. Mrs. Peugnet also bestowed fancy articles upon those little girls who excelled in dining-room and housework, and several books to the best readers, spellers and writers, after which the outdoor r came in and the ladies filled their bdskets with substantial goods.

The entertainment included all of the members of the Sunday-school and the children who attend the weekly sewing- school. Mr. Julius Sinnett contributed to the enter- tainment of the evening by a solo, The Wind of the Mill,’’ and others delivered ad- dresses to the children.

One of the most beautiful fans displayed at a high-class shop was a feather fan, one not made to open and shut.

Each small cupid was armed with an arrow of diamonds. Black and pink ribbons were One Opens and Shuts, the Other Doc aut. tied in a bow of many loops about the handle. Another odd fan of feathers showed a change- able effect. The fan was divided into parts, each part showing a different delicate color. Then there was a soft feathery border tn white, sprayed with pearls. The handle was of pearl and half hidden away in one corner was the face of atiny gold watch. Fan bags are in great demand this season. The more ola borate ones have gold and silver tops which pull open. © ’* 9 A DUCAL BROW. It May Seriously Disturb the Social Bea- son at Nice, Special Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH: Paris, Dec, 18,—This is a season wuen everybody begins to think of a flight from Paris tothe sunny Riviera. The weather has become cold and gray and disagreeable, with fitful snow showers and their dismal results of slushy streets. There is no sunshine at all —at least none to speak of. These are the shortest days of the year, so in this Northern clime, Paris being in the latitude of Mon- treal, we have barely eight hours of day- light, and those are generally obscured by clouds or fog, So it is no*°wonder that every- body that can travel ts packihg his or her trunks for a flight to some Southern place of winter resort. Not to Nice, however. I begin to imagine that this once favored spot will not enjoy its usual vogue this winter. The newspapers continually declare that crowds of people are arriving there, thatthe hotels are filled to overflowing, that all the villas are rented, etc, Private advices tell a differ- ent tale. In the first place the typhoid fever, which had greatly decreased and which was vanishing away altogether, has taken a fresh start and is worse than ever. There are cases of it in every quarter of the city, and no class of society has been spared. Secondly, the landlords of Nice formed this season a syndicate and decided on increasingthe rents of all available houses and fats to half as much again as they have ever asked, And thirdly, the municipal authorities have contmued to quarrel with the Countess of Caithness and her son, the Duke de Pomar, so the latter has sent in his resig- nation asa member ofthe committee onthe Carnival Festivities, and the lady declares that she will close her house and will not éeutertain at all this season. At first sight this would seem but a trifilng misfortune, as the mother and son are both ‘‘cranks’’ of a pronounced type. But Lady Caithness (or the Duchess de Pomar, as she prefers to be called, the first title being her own by right as the widow ofan Earl and the second being a **boughten’’ one), is one ofthe best known ot the hostesses of Nice. She occupies one of the handsomest suites of apartments in the city, witha private ball-room included, and she has been wont to entertain continually and lavishly throughout the winter. Her faacy costume balls especlally have been celebrated Inthe annals of the Nice festiv- tles. And really, in the quarrel that has arisen between the Duke and the municipal authorities, I cannot but think that the former was in the right. The cause of the dissension dates from the close last spring of the season on the Riviera Ihe Duke, according to invariable custom, had engaged a sleeping car from Niceto Paris, his tickets some weeks beforehand, anecessary precautiom at that universalexodus. Also accommodation was secured for the servants, ten in number, and an extra baggage car was taken for the trans- portation of the innumerable trunks. Every- thing was arranged. The sumptuous home was dismantled for the season and the party arrived in goodtime at the station on the appointed evening. When the train steamed into the station from Mentone (whichis its starting point) there was but one first-class carriage to be seen and that was occupled by asolitary gentleman. This personage the Duke de Pomar addressed very civilly, ro- marking: **] think, sir, asthecarin which you are was me for this evening weeks ago. lou must speak tothe Station was the curt reply. ut Jamthe Duke de Pomar.,’’ „Address yourself tothe Station Master,“ repeated the stranger, I am the Duke de Chartres!’’ There was no there must be some mistake, engaged by Master,’’ redress for the lawful holder of the car in question for when a Prince of the blood-roval chooses to assert the privileges of his rank, right and justice in such matters must go by the board allover Europe. So M. de lomar hunted up the station-master and releved his mind by giving him a plece of it, which, asheisa Spaniard by birth and as hot-tempered as persons of that nationality are apt to be, was a very vehement, not to say abusive, proceeding. But it did no good, for his mother and himself and all the ser- vants, and all the baggage, were perforce transported tothe nearest hotel at great inconvenience, to say nothing of the expense, toawalit the Train de Luxe of the following evening. Nordid the matter end there. The station master lodged a com- plaint against the Duke for the use toward him of insulting language and the gentleman was condemnedto paya fineof $20. Hence the wrath of mother and son, a justifiable and most natural fit of indignation, which may possibiy result in the total re- linquishment of their house at Nice. In fact, Lady ‘aithness is said to be already tn treaty for one of the handsomest villas at Pau. Also, it is reported that she will hereafter spend her winters in her splendid Parisian hotel, definitely abandoning the charms of the winter resorts of France. MME. DE LESSEPS, A young French married lady lately drew for me an amusing picture of a call that she once made on the Countess de Lesseps soon after the birth of that lady’s youngest child. The Countess received her visitor in her bedroom, reclining ona bed hung with curtains of pale-blue satin, and attired inan elaborate morning wrapper to match the curtains. Her children were brought in twoby two, to pay their respects totheir motheras they were in the habit of doing daily. They were escorted by their French nurses and their English + govern- essess, who had full charge of the unraly flock, Mme. De Lesseps apparently imagining that she had done her auty in giving birth to her children, and that there- after she was not to be troubled with taking care of them. The four youngest, that is to say those immediately Preceding in age the baby in the cradle, Came tearing Into the room and sprang without ceremony on their motber’s bed. Their entire clothing con- sisted for each ofashort skirted sleeveless frock cut very low in the neck, short socks, low shoes, and apinafore. They wore no undergarments whatever. LUST H.

A girl always remains constant to her love for sweets. It ls the girl of the period who has grown most fastidious in regard to their proper environment, A plain, ordinary paper box is not at all sultable, so she says, to hold the sweets, and soif you are planning to please her buy a fancy box for the bon- bons, one which is resplendent with gilt, ribbons and flowers. <A novelty in bonbon boxes is one where a Japanese wuoll Only a Candy Bow, After plays a prominent part. The box 1s square and of white vellum. Seated contentediy on the cover isa Japanese lady dressed in all the glory of crinkled paper. When the cover is lifted a tempting array of bon-bons is seen. A small silver pall witha silk top, which comes together with a draw string, is another novel bon-bon box. The bon-bon box de luxe is made of white ooze kid in the shape ofa heart. It is tied with broad white ridbon on whichis written in gilt lettering: Sweets to the Sweet. Caught in one of the loops of the ribbonare a tiny pair of gold bonbon tongs. In the midst of the candy will be placed asmall white velvet heart- shaped box, which opens to reveal a heart pin outlined in diamonds and pearls. — . New Work- Bag. This work-bag ts of quite a new design, and is likely to be specially popular, inasmuch as the most delicate silks required for embroid- ery can be kept in the little runnings with which the liningis provided. It should be made into a good sized case, such as will hold about ten lengths of silk anda large piece of embroidery, besides the usual tools and ne- cessary implements, Sicillenne cloth, ribbed silk or satin may be used for the outside, and shouid be cut about twelve inches square. Turn in the edges all around, and remember that when the bag is in use it will be folded down the middle like a sheet of notepaper, the double fold coming, of course, tothe bottom. Along the two upper edges shoula be workeda vandyke band of em- broidery. Below thisand onthe front part ofthe bag the name of the owner should be worked with a fine line of silk and knots to correspond. Two handles, made of a piece of cord, closely worked cver with buttonhole stitches of coarse cotton, are fixed to the top edges of the case, the ends of the cord being hidden beneath full bowsof colored satin ribbon. Novel Invitations. Novel invitation cards have been intro- nuced in the best English and Freneti sd- ciety. They are practically ‘‘songs without words, for aside from date, hour and signa- ture of the sender they but silk, and dots worked in each scallop.

Dancing nymphs and cupids in scant array bid him to prepare for a prospective ball, a Chinese damsel serving tea denotes that the holder of the Invitation isexpected to come to an afternoon tea, and a card displaying tiny playing cards announces a card party, etc. Even invitations to hunting parties are cel- ebrated in this unique and charming manner by the selection of hunting scenes, and in —— cases these pretty novelties are gotten — inthe most expensive and artistic way. They have not yet found their way into this country, but the departure is so charmin that it will not belong before a new eld o industry will be.opened to young artists where they can display talent and ingenuity at remunerative compensation, for these dainty bits of card-board are by no means bought cheaply abroad, —— Dauelng-Lesson Dres ties. The first of these dresses is an Empire pattern suitable for dancing lessons. A low | tight-fitting princess robe of silk, over which is arranged a loose hanging tunic of striped silk gauze figured with colored flow- ers, gives this uncommon style. The loose stuff, mounted in gathers above the waist, is 8214 inches wide below, and the breadths sloped off so that the widthjabove Is 67 inches. A thick silk ruche unraveled at the edges trims the lower edge of the dress, and a gauze plaiting becoming wider on the choul- ders, the low neck-opening. Sleeves of plaited stuff. Bands and rosette bow of nar- row ribbon. eee + ; - © me i es ‘ : AL +e: -_ ; The second eis also a dancing’lesson dress. It is a white cambric with sash of white, flow ered sarscenet ribbon 714 inches wide, cam- bric and muslin being considered the most appropriate stuffs for such dresses. The short-waisted bodice is cut out square at the neck, gathered full on a tight-fitting Uning and fastened at the back. The skirt trimmed below with two narrow flounces is mounted on the lower edge ofthe bodice. Short puff sleeves set into a folded band id inches in width. Gowns for Misses. Under the magic word *‘Empire’’ fashion includes some strict and other more liberal rules regarding the make of the newest dresses, with their short walsts and plain skirts. Only graceful young figures ought really to venture upon the empire style of Gress as originally made, but other less favored ladies may by the ald of slight varta - tions lend a by no means unpleasing indi- viduil character to their dresses. An em- broidered or lace yoke or frill is a good means ot unitsng two styles of make, while long, wide sleeves, of Spanish origin, may be ad- vantageously added to the large upper puffs. The crossed handkerchief is both a simple and becoming trimming, and may be made of either gauze or batiste.
