Struggles in Belgium But a Forerunner of Battles to Come. RUMORED OONSPIRACY TO DEPRIVE LEOPOLD OF Au cow. Berlin and Vienna Will Attempt to Pre- vent the Celebration of Labor Day by Parades in the Streets—Paris Prepared to Grapple With Any Anarchist Up- rising-—Fights Between Strikers aud Police in Belgian Cities. Lorpow, April 15.—Advices from Berlin, Brussels, Vienna and other European capi- tals state that the authorities are looking forward to the Socialist demonstrations of May Day with even greater anxiety than last year. Egpecially is this the case in Brussels, where the exciting events of the past few Gays are believed to be the forerunners of a more desperate struggle to come. The Bel- gan Government has already taken steps to have a large military force in readiness for a march on the capital, should disorder reach a point at which the police and the Guard Olivique would De incapable of dealing with it. The Guard Civique numbers over 40,000 men, and is re- cruited generally from the middle classes. In the districts, however, where manufact - uring and mining are almost the only indus- tries, the Guard Civique is largely com- posed of the working classes, and its mem- bers might not improbably befound fighting on the side of the populace instead of en- forcing order. King Leopold is strongly averse to violence as long as it can de averted, and would not consent to any extreme use of the mil- itary arm unless it shoula ap- pear to doe absolutely necessary. Hie ts said to be arriving, however, at that conviction, for evidence has been presented to him going to prove that there is something deeper in the present social agitation than to achieve universal suffrage. It is reported that the Belgian authorities have tnformation showing that a conspiracy exists for the overthrow of the monarchy and the estab- lishment of a republic, and thatthe conspir- ators count uponFrench sympathy if not upon French support. Leopold is naturally a man of mild and liberal temper, but he is capa- bie of great determination in a crisis, and should he be convinced that there are de- signs against bis dynasty he will approve of the severest measures for the suppression and punishment of the plotters. The Berlin authorities will probably refuse to permit any Socialist demonstration on May Day, or only under such restric ons as to prevent the possibility ot any outbreak. The Prussian Government fears that any ex- tensive demonstration might be seized upon by the anti-Semitic agitators to raise a riot against the Jews, which, in the present tem- per ot the working classe. would not be dificult. In Vienna it is stated a May day demonstra- tion will be altogether prohibited and the prohibition enforced by the police with the aid, if necessary, of the military. Austrian manufacturers have been requested in behalf of the Government not to grant any emp- tion from labor to their operatives on ac- count of May day,and preparations are be- ing made to put down with rigor any inove- ment of a disorderly character. In Paris the authorities view the situation with calmness and seemtohave much less apprehension as to the future than it ex- hibited in other European cities. The au- thorities believe that the lessons already given will have a deterrent effect upon the Aparchists, and they are satisfied that the worst ofthe terrorists have departed from France. SMUGGLING IN CUBA Aotive Industries ofthe Island —The Sugar Crop. Havana, April 15.—Smuggling seems to be quite active on the wharf, quite a large num- ber of packages of Chinese goods having been seized by the officers of the custom. house. Arecent combination has come to light, which shows no little ingenuity on the part of those engaged in robbing the treas- ury. Somehundred packages of high cost goods which arrived by the Yucatan, and by the Saratoga three days afterwards a like number, seemingly of the same kind and quality of merchandise, being landed near to each other on the wharf they would await the visit of the inspector, and just be- fore he came the high-priced goods would be dispatched and the goods of lesser value left for inspection and to be assessed at a lower rate of duty. The Governor being notined of what was going on has seized some 170 pack- ages and anticipates the arrival of many One ofthe more. Quite an animated editorial war is going on . Detween the Lucha and the D...0 dela Manna touching public matters. As the time draws near when most of the large central States will have com- ted their crops, the evidence of a great shortage in the crop of 1893, as com- pared witp that of 1892. is surely confirmed and have advanced to 878 reals the arroba, which is equal to 4.08 cents per pound, with very few sales to others than speculators. People best informed on the subject now put the total product of 1893 at 800,000 tons, or 900,000 tons less than was anticipated at tite ning of the season, and this immense uction may be largely accounted for by the great fires among the cane fields, which have been Gau reported as consuming large tracts of standing cane.

FRENOH ANAROHISTS. >) $WO amResrs wave iy THE PALars ROYAL or- 1 NAMITE CASE. mrs, April 15.—Ever since the terrible ie explosion of Nov. 8last in the Com- of Police in the Rue de Bonsenfants, arthe Palais Royal, the police have been efatigibly searching for the perpetrators To-day a man named Dupral 9 This affair, which resulted in the deatù of five persons, bad its origin in the great strike of miners at Carmaux last autum. Much bitter feeling was engendered by the strike and Baron Kelle, the Chairman of the princi- palmining company involved, incurred the special hatred of the strikers through his frm refusal to concede any of their demands. Early on the morning of Nov. 8 the cashier of the Carmaux Mining Company. whose head offices are at No. I Avenue de Opera, discovered as he was entering the buliding a suspicious looking vessel resem- blingasaucepan. He called Garin, a porter, who carried the vesselto the Commissariat of police, While the officers were examining the thingit exploded with terrific violence, completely wrecking the building and killing M. Roussel, the chief clerk ; M. Fornemorein, under bricadief of police; M. Reaux,aconsta- ble; M. Trautet, an inspector, and Garin, the porter. The bodies were frightfally man- gied. The only clew which the police ob- t®ined was given by H. Lefrapper, a director of the Carmaux Mining Co., who stated that as he was leaving the company’s offices on the preceding day, he saw a woman with her head covered with a shawl as though to disguise herself, going up the staircase, as he was coming down. She carried a basket with her from which protruded a curiously shaped article, wrapped in a newspaper. Tus police had no doubt that this woman was the tool selected by certain of the Oar- maux strikers to cause an explosion at the company’s offices and to kill Baron Reile. The discovery of the bomb by the cashier frustrated this plan, but resulted in the kill - ing of Gve persons who were in no way in- terested in the Carmaux troubles. RIOTING IN BELGIUM, KILLED AND WOUNDED IN A BATTLE BETWEEN STRIKERS AND GENDARMES. BRUSSELS, April 15.—The most serious dis- turbance that has yet occurred during the agitation against the Chamber of Deputies for rejecting the universal suffrage bill took place last night at Jolimon. In a fight be- tween the strikers and the gendarmes one woman was killed and three strikers seri- ously wounded, The strikers had been act- ing disorderly all day, and at night began to assem bie in great numbers. The gendarmes at - tempted to disperse themjand met with strong resistance. In the mob of rioters were a number of women, who encouraged the men to give battle to the police. Spurred on by these women, the strikers fought desper- ately, when the gendarmes attempted to drive them from the streets. Clubs and stones were freely ueed, and there was a prospect of the mob getting the upper hand of the gendarmes, when the order was given for the latter to draw their swords and charge the crowd. The order was at once obeyed and, slashing right and left, the gendarmes mowed through the mob, which broxe and scattered in every direction, hurling stones and other missiles before they ran. After the rioters were d‘s- persed it was found that one of the women had been slashed with a sword and killed and three of the strikers seriously injured. The affair has caused great excitement and further trouble is apprehended. The labor leaders, many of whom are So- clalists, are strivingin every way to make the strike general. In Ghent their efforts are meeting with some success, and every day fresh accessions are gained by the strik- ers. Thesituationisacute, but the Govern- ment is viligant. The strikers in Ghent are causing great excitement in the town. Among the men who have quit work are a large number of weavers. The more orderly persons engaged in that occupation re- fused to join the strikers, and this fact greatly incensed the strikers. To-day the latter determined to force working weavers to leave their looms, and in consequence a bloody riot ensued. The rioters, numbering hundreds, attacked the workers and injured many of them. The police were promptly on the scene, but they were powerless to handle the mob. The strikers, alded by the usualcrowd of loafers and vagavonds, turned on the police, and though the latter nad the advantage of being armed, they were put to rout. Two captains of police were quite badly wounded presumably by the stones fred at them. The entire portion of tae city in which the dis- turbance occurred was in an uproar. The strikers, afterthe retreat ofthe police, took possession of the quarter and acted ina most disgraceful manner. The civil authorities finding that tne riot was growing worse every minute, called up- on the military foraid. Under orders from the centralauthority, which appears to realize the gravity of the movements, the troops were ready to renderassistance when- ever called upon. Adetachment of calvary was ordered to disperse the mob. They at once proceeded to the scene of the rioting and upon the order to disperse being greeted with derisive yeils, they charged the mob. The latter fled precipitately when they saw. the calvary men riding with drawn swords upon them and sougut refuge in houses and alley- ways. Not all escaped, however, some of the less tleet of foot were knocked down and trampled upon by the horses while others were struck by swords and badly hurt. COL. BROADHEAD BANQUETED. The Graduates of the University of Vir- ginia Give a Dioner. A banquet was tendered to Ool. J. O. Broadhead, the recentiy appointed Minister to Switzerland, by the graduates of the Uni- versity of Virginia at the Lindell Hotel last night. About sixty guests were present, and the tables were laid in the ladies’ ordinary. Col. Broadhead was received by Henry 7. Kent. president of the society, and given the place of honoron his right. After the banquet was discussed the speeches be- gan. Henry T. Kent delivered the address of welcome. e referred to the eminent career of the guest of the evening, passing in review his history and congratulating the State and the country on hav- ing 80 worthy a representative. Col. Broadhead replied, referriny to the fact that he was one of the oldest graduates of the University, and giving a brief sketch of the men who had attained honor who had grad- vated from that institution. He was fol- lowed by Given Campbell, who delivered an address laudatory both of the University and Col. Broadhead. Later a number of im. promptu speeches were made, and the com- ere A did not disperse until a late hour of the 4 * Will Not Combine. Rumors that a gigantic monopoly had been formed for the purpose of controlling the St. Louls ice market Were rife in mercantile cir- cles yesterday and created no little conster- nation among the heavy consumers of that commodity.

Preparations at Washington Looking to This End Advancing. GOLD CERTIFICATES NOT TO BE ISSUED AT THE SUB-TREASURY. The Country Practically On a Silver Basis, but the Probability Is It Will Not Be Long—Increased Shipments of the Yei- low Metal Force Secretary Carlisle to Act — Ex-Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller HReturned te His Old Berth. WASHINGTON, D. O., April 15.—It seems es- tablished that 4 per cent bonds tothe amount of several million dollars are being prepared in the Treasury Department. The blank bonds were ordered printed during the Har- rison Administration as a precautionary measure. They are now being advanced some farther stages towards completion. The Secretary of the Treasury has power under the resumption act to issue these bonds at any time if the necessity arises, and if it should be deemed better to issue bonds than to break into the gold reserve. Secretary Carlisle has determined to issue no more gold certificates at present, and has so advised the Assistant Treasurer at New York. The law says the Secretary of the Treasury shall suspend the issue of gold certificates whenever the amount of gold in the Treasury reserve for the redemption of United States notes falls below $100,000,000. The Secretary said to-day that this point had very nearly been reached. In explaining his action on this subject, Secretary Carlisie said this afternoon that while the $100,000,000 gold reserve had not yet been reached it was so close to it that prudence distated that no more gold certif- cates should be issued. This announcement that, for the first time since specie shipments were restored, it was necessary to stop tle issue of gold certificates was followed by the rumor, which was heard at the Cap itoland elsewhere, that the President had decided to issue $6,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds to protect the gold reserve in case it became necessary. Secretary Carlisle was asked: es the rumor that $6,000,000 of bonds have been issued true?“ He repliea: ‘‘Six millions of bonds have not been issued. It was ascertained subsequently that the precautionary measures, which had been commenced under the Harrison administra- tion, of 1 22 to meet an emergency by the issue of bonds, it necessary, had been carried a step further under the present ad- ministration. Recognizing the fact that the preparation of — was a matter of time, Secretary Charles Foster had directed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to prepare a large number of bonds bearing 4 per cent interest, as authorized by the re- demption act; it was earned that 000,000 of these bonds were now being advanced further stages to completion; if it should be deemed necessary and proper to issue them or any part of them, rather than to break in upon the gold reserve, the emergency could be met with the least possi- ble delay. ON A SILVER BASIS. WILL ISSUE NO MORE GOLD CERTIFICATES. New York, April 15.—Instructions were re- ceived atthe Sub-Treasury to-day from Sec- retary Carlisle that no more gold certificates Will be issued by the Treasury. The idea is based on the lawof July 21, 1882. This pro- vides that no gold certificates shall De is- sued after the net gold inthe Treasury shall be reduced to $100,000,000. The importance of the order lies in the fact that itis the frst public acknowledgment by the Government of the depleted condition of the Treasury. The continual gold exports have reduced the free gold in the Treasury to 5100, 000, 000. The export of about $3,000,000 gold on to-day’s steamer has reduced the Government’s free gold below the $100,000,000 line for the first time since the resumption of specie payment =" THE TREASURY hig was not generally known in Wall street until after the close of busi- ness, but was every where discussed later on. Under the new ruling persons depositing gold bullion with the ‘ireasury will have to accept either gold coin or legal tender notes. One tender of gold bullion was made tothe Assay Office to-day, andthe depositor chose to take greenbacks in exchange for his order on the 8ub-Treasury. Those of the New York banks which have been hoarding gold coin will now find themselves compelied to either bring the actualcoin intouse or otherwise exchange their gold for greenbacks. It is thought tnat Secretary Carlisle had this idea in mind in issuing this order, though it was, of course, secondary to the aciual condition of the Treasury free gold. The $100,000,000 free gold in the Treasury has been kept in a special fund since tue re- sumption of specie payment as a reserve for the $846,000,000 of greenbacks now in citcula- tion, The gold reserve is not held by law, but it has always been considered by the Treasury that such an amiount should re- tained for the purpose of a greenback re- serve, Nothing definite could be learned in Wall street as to the intentions of secretary Carlisie, now that official prominence has been given tothe condition of the Treasury. Well informed Wall street menthink that the next step will be an order to cease payin Id in exchange tor the Ireasury notes o 2800. and ssibly also in exchange for greenbacks which are payable in coin, though the latter has always been construed to mean gold. The gold which has been taken for export during the past three months has been taken by the deposit with the Sub- treasury of Treasury notes and greenbacks. If ld will no longer be issued against these notes the country will practically beon a silver basis. HILL WANTS THE PAPERS. A DEMAND WHICH MAY MEAN THS HOISTING OF THE BLACK FLAG. WasHINGTON, D. C. April 15.—Senator Hill has begun his fight for the control of the Federal patronage in New York State. He has persuaded the Post-office Committee of the Senate to make a radical departure in the method of doing business, by demanding from the Postmaster-General copies of the papers containing the recommendations of applications of presidential postmasters re- cently appointed in New York.

It is understood that in some way he secured copies of the poll books, containing the complete registration of all. the voters, save those few who registered between the primary and the general elections. This made it an easy matter to reach the Dem- ocratic voters with campaign literature, or anything necessary in times of a political campaign. These duplicate copies of the poll- ks were also of great use in making up ‘*slips’’ such as ‘‘repeaters’’ use in voting. Theactionof the Demoeratic Con- vention, however, would not indicate that any ‘‘repeaters’’’ slips were made up from these duplicates, or if there wereany made they were not voted for the Bernheimer del- egations throughout the wards, or H voted for these delegatlons were not counted in that way. These duplicate poll books were closely arded by the Executive Committee of the ernheimer campaign. They were not al- lowed to leave the headquarters and were put to good use in the matter of distributing circulars. Nearly every Democrat who has a vote in the city received enough Bernheimer circulars to make a good-si bonfire. To send out the circulars, all that had to be done was for the eight young ladies to place the printed list of voters of any ward mentioned before them and to strike off addresses on envelopes from the lists.

To Whom it may Concern: I, the original of the above portrait, do cordially recommend Hooda’s Sarsaparilia to all who may be suffer- ing with indigestion, impure blood, humors, loss of appetite, or run down, or out of order generally. It will surely help yeu if there isany help for you. I have used it myself and in our family for at least fifteen years. I have found it a very great benefit for mala- ria, chills and fever, rheumatism, kidney complaint and catarrh, even when I con- sidered myself uncurable. My frst experi- ence with Hood’s Sarsaparilia was about eight years ago, when I was taken down with pneumonia, chills and fever, rheumatism and acombipation of diseases. I was then in New York city, and by advice of my physi- cian, went ome to Scarborough, where I now reside. i Had No Appetite and wasalifun down. Neighbors who came in to see me always told me that I would mever be well again. My wife bought Hood’s Sarsaparilia, and after I had taken it afew Gays, I had a good appetite and felt very much better. I took my third bottle, and in a short time I was fully restored to health, went back to New York and resumed my business. Ihave once since then neglected to keep my blood in good order, and had an ulcer come on my leg just below the ankle. Some said it was caused by rheumatic affec- tions. lIagain took Hood’s Sarsaparilia, and in ashort time the sore healed up and has never troubled me since.

HOWOLvUtv, April 8, (by telegraph from San Francisco, April 15.)—The situation at Hono- lulu to-day, as the Japan steamer salls for gan Francisco, is as follows: The hauling down of the Mmerican flag and the re-embarkation of the ‘‘Boston’’ marines by order of United States Commis- Sioner Blount were not attended by any disorder or other’ manifestation by the anti-annexation party. The deposed Queen Liliokalani requested her friends to ‘abstain from making any demonstrations of approval,and the tractable native population received the change ofaffairs with apparent ‘apathy. On the entire group of inhabited ‘islands order prevails. The moral effect ofthe presence of Pres!i- dent Cleveland’s commissioner is worth more than a brigade of infantry. His intentions are & mystery to every resident. The special Correspondent of the Post-DIsPaTcnH has in- ‘terviewed Mr. Blount and is able to state that the course he had mapped out is wise and ‘well suited to the emergency which brought him to Hawall. Thefirst problem the Com- missioner had to solve was that raised dy the presence of the Boston's marines on Hawaiian soil. This was quickly disposed of. The next step was to obtain local inspiration by studying Hawali- an history and carefully perusing the several constitutions and the code of laws. A local Aa vor is also being obtained by receiving vis- ite from residents of the city, especially the natives. Commissioner Blount is giving es- pecial thought to the question of whether the natives are qualified to exercise intelll- gently the right of suffrage. The adherents Of the deposed Queen are striving to unify the natives and to stimulate their patriotism to the sticking point. They counsel entire submission to the provisional Government and urge the natives to await patiently the conclusion of Mr. Blount’s work. Ittranspires that Claus Spreckels, instead of being an annexationist, is opposed to any ‘other union of the islands to the United States than that now existing. He fears that his extensive sugar interests here mig be inperilied if the union were to take place, for the reason that without contract labor and the importation of coolies the sugar planta- ions could not be worked successfully. Mr. Spreckels will arrive from San Fran ‘isco April 19, and he sent word by the last tteamer to some of his representatives 0 do everything possible to solidify the native Hawalians. Mr. Spreckles will remain eyera]) months. He will appear before Com- missioner Blount, and he will visit all the lands and talk against annexation. His influence certainly is great, but he has an- tawgonized the sugar-growers and has not the strength he formerly possessed. President Dole, the head of the Provisional Government, was interviewed by the Post- DISPATCH correspondent yesterday. Foran hour and a half he discussed the annexation question intelligentiy and frankly. When asked how he regarded the hauling down of the American flag and the removal of the marines from on shore, he said, 'I am very well satisfied with the actionof Mr. Biount.’’ Mr. Dole then explained the incident of the landing of the marines as follows: There were ugly rumors afloat to the effect that an outbreak might occur. Among some of the tive population there were evil disposed ple who were capable of mis- lef in order to create distrust in the capacity of the Provisional Government to maintain order. Everything was new and crudeand no preparations for Gefense had been completed. I therefore sOmewhat reluctantly requested Minister Stevens to order an armed force from the men-of-war. I can understand readily that Commissioner Blount would feel that he would de freer without the presence of armed men of the Govern- ment he represents, and as soon as he has gatisfied himself that their presence was not imperative that he should send them aboard.

THE HONOLULU FLAG EPISODE EXCITES HIs GALL AND WORMWOOD. BANGOR, Me., April 15.—The action taken by Commissioner Blount in Honolulu has ex- cited Congressman Boutelle to frenzy and to-day he published an attack upon the Dem- ocratic party which has not been equaled in virulence since he made his famous attack on James G. Blaine. Mr. Boutelle says editorially in his newspa- per, under the caption ‘‘Hauling Down the American Flag: the act cannot fail to remind our people of the per- sistent hostility to the United States fag manifested by the Democratic party as an organiz- ation and by the men who have controlled it during and since the rebellion. They began haul- ing down“ the flag at Sumter over thirty years ago, and they seem unable to overcome their aversion to it,even when by some midsummer madness they have gotten fullcontrol ofthe goed government they so desperately strove to destroy. President Cleveiand in his first term tried to take from the goverument the flags captured by the brave defenders of the Union to give them back to the un- reasonable rebeis from whom they were taken at the cost of more than 300,000 loyal lives. He has already distinguished his second term in the same line by sending a Confederate Demoerat to the Pacific to insult our loyal aud distinguished Min- ister, and put an affront upon our gallant navy, by ha ling down the American flag in the presence of the representatives of other nations, alleager to see the srmbo! of their Government waving from the staff where our own hed been floating in undtspute aathority. Mr. Cleveland's feelings toward the flag are seem- ingly very much asthey were in the great rebellion and his own fret term, and having sur- rounded himself and flied the most important posts abroud with men whospent years of their lives in hating it and st.ooting at its de- fenders, he will probably enjoy reading the report of its humiliation al- most as much as his Georgia Commissioner enjoyed embracing the first oppor tu- nity he ever had to haul down the American lag.

The intensity of the public excitement over the affair was abundantly evidenced when the House met on Monday, when Ahlwardt, according to his promise, was to submit the proofs of om - cial corruption, The galleries were packed with eager listeners. Yesterday there wasa repetition of the scene, but as Ahlwardt could not obtain a suf- ficient number of votes to carry a motion for the appointment of a committee to ex- amine his documents they were doomed to disappointment. In face of the ferment that Ahlwardt has caused, the President of the Reichstag would have shown better tact if he had less rigidly followed the rules of procedure, which, in this case, froze Ahlwardt out. At a meeting of his supporters, held subsequent to this accident, inthe Reichstag, Ahlwardt seized the occasion to declare that he was debarred both from producing the docu- ments and from speaking because certain m embers of the Government feared the dis- closure he could make. He further said that leading members of the House were jealous of his growing influence, and concurred in the conspiracy of silence organized against him. The facts of the incident are that on Thurs- day Ahlwardt apprised the President of the Reichstag of his intention to lay the docu- ments on the table and to make a speech ex- plaining them before the House proceeded to the order of the day. He further desired that the papers should not be referred to the per- manent committee, but toa special commit- tee of twenty-one, in which the Social- ists and Anti-Semites should be fully repre- sented. Before the House resumec business yesterday the Senioren, or Permanent Com- mittee, advised President Von Levetzow to direct Ahiwardat to lay his documents on the table, without speaking, leaving the House to decide upon their reference to a com- mittee. When the President entered Ahlwardt handed hima copy of the declarations he wanted to make in producing the papers. Ahlwardt was advised regarding the de- cision of the Senioren Committee and he, thereupon, refused to proceed. Whether or not he knew that the course he proposed to take was certain to lead bim to a collision with the rules of procedure, sult is aim. pose as the possessor tory evidence against past and present Ministers. Those who profess to have seen the docu- ments say they are nothing but a repetition of the state charges ot fraud on the war in- that defec- Centiists. roth Chambers of the Landtag are gratified with the proposals, which give the landlord interests advantages which were not dreamed of underthe Bismarck regime, Minor objections were put aside in order to get the bill passed before the dissolution of the Reichstag bringing a grand political crisis on issues which itis impossible to foresee. By the passage ofthe bills Dr. Miquel definitely secures the friend- ship of the Conservatives and some Centrists’ supportat the sacrifice of his old National Liberal allies. Events in Belgium are giving the foreign Offices here greater anxiety than the Servian coup d’etat, tnough it is known to have been hatched in Paris in the Russian interest, An armed confilct over the popular de- mand for a revision of the Belgian Constitution, resulting in revolution and the placing in power of allies of France, isso within the bounds of probability that French papers are already indulging in sur- mises as to what Germany would do in the event of the monarchy in Belgium being sub- merged. Reports are credited in some French organs that a compact between Emperor William and King Leopold arranges for the German occupation of Belgium within a day if a revolution threatens to overthrow the King. These reports are con- sidered here as nonsense. Whatever internal convulsions may occur in Belgium, itis the official opinion here that Germany will ab- solutely hold aloof, unless France connives at assisting a revolution. Ex-King Milan telegraphed M. Dokitch last night, congratulating him upon the suc- cessful issue of the coup In Servia. The event has importance as a possibile factor in early disturbances on the Bulgarian frontier, which will invoive the at- tention of Germany and Austria, the chief nations of the Dreibund. Some inkling of the coup appears to have reached M. Stambouloff,the Bulgarian Prime Minis- ter, before his recent audience with the Em- peror Francis Joseph at vienna. According to seml-official advices from the Austrian Capital, the Emperor during this interview promised the support of Bulgaria. while advising that that country preserve its pacific policy, refraining from everything tending to provoke a conflict with Servia or increase the difficulties with Russia, M. Stambouloff, among other assurances, de- clared that the reports that the marriage of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria would be fol- lowed by a proclamation of Bulgarian inde- pendence, in no way corresponded with the intention of the Government. The Wiener Tageblatt says that an inter view between Emperor Francis Joseph and the Czar has been definitely arranged. The developments in Bulgaria and Servia, making the policy of the sovereigns more obvi- ously divergent, renders such a conference almost impossible as Emperor William left Berlin yesterday for Swimemunde. At 8 o’clock this morning he sailed for Kiel, where he will inspect the North Canal his return he will proceed to Rome. The Im- peria! party will remain three days in Vienna, where they are ex ted toarrive on May 6, The Emperor will reside at Schonbrunn dur- ing bis stay, and a series of fetes will be given in his honor.

Several Spectators Injured by the Falling ofa Wall. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 15.—The Hegan Mantel Manufacturing Co.’s factory at Fourth avenue and Chestnut street, adjoining the new Custom- house, was totally destroyed by fire to-night. The loss is $90,000, covered by insurance. ‘The fire started from a stove. While the bullding was burning, the oceu- pants of a building adjoining in the rear were upon their back porches watching the blaze. ‘There was a sudden explosion of varnish in the factory, and then the rear wall fell. The wali struck the porches of the adjoining building and tore them off, sending a dozen spectators down, burying them under the debris and more or less injuring all. No one was killed, but Ben Alford, the leading candidate for Surveyor of the Port, may die. Three of his ribs were broken and he was internally injured, Townes Jones, wife of prosecutor of the gamblers, badly hurt. D. P. Faulds, for thirty years a leading music dealer here, was taken out in- sensibie, but provedto be more frightened than hurt. The custom-house nea by was not dam- aged. STAND FIRM. That Is the Word on the Chicago & North- western Telegraph Lines. MARSHALLTOWN, Io., April 15.—A general walk-out of the telegraph operators on the entire Chicago and Northwestern system is expected at any hour. G. R. Thayer, the company’s Superintendent of Telegraph, passed westward through the State to-day over the main line, stopping at all stations and noti- fying all operators belonging to the O. R. T. that they must withdraw from the order at once or quit the company’s service. This step, arbitrary and without apparent cause, wil: be most sweeping in its effect, as nearly every operator in this State at least is a member of the Brotherhood, and they will stand by it almost to a man. Such is their determination to-night atleast. Itis said they were preparing a new schedule ask ing an increase.of wages to formally present to the company, and that it took this method to rorestali it, Sympathy here is strongly with the operators, „Stand ftirm’’ is the watchword being passed along the lines amoaog them late to - night. WILL DEFY HEALTH AUTHORITIES. Steamship Agents at Halifax Propose to Disobey Restrictions. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, April 15.—The agents of the steamship lines having decided to defy the authorities and to disregard the recent order that all passengers coming from Europe and their baggage must be fumigated before landing, an emer- gency meeting of the Cit Council was heldto-day. Quarantine Officer Wick- wire said there is no more danger now than there has been all winter. iahere is no cholera in Europe, te alleged, and he could not see the danger in landing ander rea- sonable precaution. He thought fumigation could be done b fore landing at the wharf, put with considerable difficulty and necessi- tating exposure of passengers. Even then he deciares the danger would be the same as now, as a certain number of men would hare to be employed in removing tue ba ge. After a very long discussion, Aiayor Keeie announced that he would assert the civic authority at all hazards and employ enough force to prevent the — — of any pas- sengers until after being fumigated at quar- antine.

Fort Wayne’s Hardware House Collapse Proves to Be Complete. Fort WAYNE, Inp., April 15.—Combs & Co., the heavy hardware and carriage furn- ishings firm, which yesterday filed a mort- gage in favor of creditors, principally local banks and moneyed institutions, for $60,975, late this afternoon filed a second mortgage for $110,625 in favor of concerns to which the firm is indebted. Telegrams came floo.ling in upon the firm to-day from outside cred- itor all over the county,and the second mort- gageistheresult. It now looks asifnothing can savethe concern. The pricipal credit- ors under the second mortgage are the Boston Rubber Co., $4,886.29; L. Joy & Co., $3,259.48; Peter Dash Co., $8,636.74; Hugh Smith, $4,842.20; Salter Woolen Co, $11,947.31; Standard Wheel Co., $9,751.15; Mahoning Valley Iron Co., $714.12; Kalamazoo Spring Co., $38,798.72; Reeves Iron Co., $8,017.65; Speer Axle Co., $6,286.19. The other preferred creditors under the second mortgage are about thirty in number and for amounts under $38,000 each. The stock will probably realize $1,000,000. Late this evening, Sidney ©. Lombard was ap- pointed receiver of the business. ON HIS DEATH-BED. A Deed Alleged to Have Been Signed Conveying Leaseholds. New Tonk, April 15.—Justice Barrett in Supreme Court yesterday appointed Eigin L. McBurney guardian adil tem of Joseph Hahn, the 13-year-old son of Henry Hahn, Mr. Me- Burney in his petition says that the boy lives with his mother and friends. He avers that the boy’s father had a half interest in leases to run until 1899 and 1894, worth $1,500a year. The remaining in- terest is owned by Wm. Lederie. money Hahn died 9 p. m., pt. 17, 1890, Mr. McBurney alleges, and at 2 o’clock in the afternoon of the same day he signed an assignment of his interest in the leases to Francis A. Lederle for a considera- tion of$i. I is charged by Mg. NeBurne that on the day of bis death an the preceding Henry Hahn was unabie to recognize his wife and end. Mr. Hahn had been ul three months before his death. Mr. McBurney says he believes Mr. Hahn’s signature to the assignment to be a forgery orif it is genuine to have been obtained through fraud. TOTALLY CONSUMED. A Laundry and Butcher Shop Burned at Carthace, Mo. CARTHAGE, Mo., April 15.—To-night at 11 o’clock fire broke out in the rear of the Southwestern Steam Laundry and soon spread to the butcher shop owned by H. Miller. Both bulldings were frame and burned quickiy. All the firemen could do was to pfevent the fire from spreading to the brick buildings on either side. The loss in both buildings was total. The fire spread rapidly beneath the roofing. It is estimated thatthe loss will be from $7,000 to $8,000 on stock, furniture and machinery, and $2,400 on bullding. The amount of insurance cannot be obtained to-nicht. The laund was the oldest In Southwestern Missouri the machinery was to be sold in a few days to satisfy a mortgage.

She was born in that part of the State which is now Pendle- ton County, Aug. 4, 1776, making her 116 years, 8months and one day. Her parents, of German descent, were born in the old coun- try. She with her parents moved to Bull- town, now Braxton Court. House, when she was but 6 years old, beingthe first family to settle on the Little Kanawah River. The nearest whites were at Buchanan, about thirty miles away. The Indians were driven from Bulitown the day before her parents moved in, leaving great quantities of bear meat and venison. At the age of 28 she was n aried to Jacob Conrad and settled on Dusk Camp Creek, Gilmer County, being the first to settle on that creek.

Under former rulings this is allowed not only on the beer, but on the bottles as well. Of course, this has been worth a pretty penny, but as Secre- tary Carlisle decides that beer in bottles“ and ‘‘bottles of beer’’ are not exactly synonymous terms, the drawback is con- siderably cut down. Instead of amending the McKinley law so as to give the rebate on the bottles, as the brewers propose, commonsense would suggest the repeal of the import tax on the raw materials, and this is what will probably be done, for it is not likely that the new law will try to cancel one absurdity by creating another. — — THERE is nothing heroic about the coup d’etat of the boy King of Servia. He is simply a figure-head employed todignify a Muscovite intrigue the purpose of which is to further the designs of the Russian Czar. The youngster has been well coached by the subtlest diplomats in Europe, and does very wellin the role he is compelled to play, but when the farce is over he is likely to be dropped like a squeezed lemon. The revolution is only another move on the political chess board of Europe, and the prise for the winner is Constantinople. When that city is Rus- sianized the comparatively mild barbarism of Turkey will be set aside for the more thorough and systematized barbarism of Muscovy. — — 282 — WARD MCALLISTER says: The fact that a man has been broughtup in the West does not mean that he is not capable of becoming a society man, I could name over many men and women who have been orced to spend a large part of their early life inthe West, but who have never- theless established themselves in a good position in Eastern society.’’ With all Western man ought to take heart, and it is very good of Mr. MoeAllister to say so much, Those who say that Mr. McAllister is a fool and a monkey are very probably doing him in- justice. In addition to encouraging peo- ple from the West, he is doubtless furnish- ing the ladies of the East many valuable hints of the newest fashions in poodle gar- ments. .I —— b FARNHAM Post, G. A. R., of New York has got into trouble with the Department Commander about pensions, and ad- dressed the following letter to him: In reply, [have the honor to inform you that it is the opinion of this post that if it is the desire of the Grand Army of tl Repub- lic to pay pensions to people who have not in- curred their disabilities in the services of the country, and to those who do not need them, then this pogt Goes not desire to remain in the Grand Army ofthe Republic. Ifno reply is received from you before next Wednesday morning we shali conclude that our suspi- clons are correct, and declare our connec. tion with the order ended, under the provi- sions of sec. 2, art. 1, chap. 2 of the Rules and Regulations ofthe Grand Army of the Republic. There is nothing ambiguous or equivo- calabout this. The patience of the real veterans is well nigh exhausted by the greedy schemes of camp followers and sut- ler patriots, and this is very likely the firet of many such protests. H it results in the destruction of the Grand Army itself there will be nothing deplorable in it.

Missouri has had enough of such bossism. It is time to call a halt. Not only have our delegations undertaken to control the federal patron- age in the State, but at times they have also assumed to settle nominations for Sta te offices. This is an unwarrantabie in- terference on their part, and the people will gladly see an end of it. Senators and Cougressmen are chosen to represent the people at Washington, not to run the poli- tics of the State, _” -— A SPONGING PROCESS. A beautiful illustration of the present method of doing public business is afforded by the giving away of a franchise to a Brooklyn (N. X.) street railroad company, for which $250,000 had been offered by a rival syndicate. In this case there are loud and angry charges of ‘‘boodling’’ and ‘‘political pulls,’’ and it seems to be clear that there was some money put where it would do the most good. But more significant than charges of boodling isthe announcement that the Boss of the town, the president ofthe happy company, and at least two of the generous Aldermen are heavily in- terested in a large tract of real estate, the value of which will be improved by the new road, and further, that the transit syndicate itself is composed of a number of prominent pgliticians and office- holders. The Brooklyn instance is only more con- spicuous than hundreds of others just like it in kind. Every city in the United States has been victimnized in the same way by mento whomthe people have intrusted their business affairs. These men have been employed to manage, preserve and increase the wealth of the community, and in most cases they have betrayed their trust by turning it over unconditionally to individuals benton getting something for nothing. How long will the people tolerate a system which sooner or later will impoverish all but a few, who, like sponges, are absorbing the wealth of the country? — i 9 —— —— — THE TEST OF BREEDING. The sorest spoton this continent now is Chicago. Her pride has been cut to the quick and her feelings brutally lacerated by leaders of the New York swagger set. Mr. McAllister has snubbed and Mrs. Sherwood has patronized her ‘‘society.’’ —— —— New Yorkers will have a hard time finding their equalsin Chicago, but will exert a beneficial and instructive influence upon her would-be swells. The latter has come to the defense of Chicago and has gener- ously admitted that there are some real nice people in Chicago who live in real good style. The agony of the Windy City under this double cruelty is manifested in newspaper columns of dictionary indigna- tion. It must be admitted that these New Yorkers are mean tothus wound Chicago’s pride of swellness, for no city could have enjoyed more of the sincere flattery of im- itation than New York from Chicago. All the wealth of Porkdom bas been poured out by Chicagoans in a desperate attempt to rival the swaggerness of New Yorkers. They have bought enormous lines of culture and etiquette. They have tried to corner the snobbery market and have waded through seas of champagne and terrapin. But it must be confessed, on the other hand, that the stabs are merited. The conduct of Chicago under them proves it. The vulgarity of apish aristocracy and new-rich society is emphasized in Chi- cago’s anger ata snuband her quarreling over a question of social standing. She is so rawin such matters that she does not know that the essence of high breeding consists in the consciousness of worth, which isan impervious shield against the patronizing air and the snub. Now it would be impossible for 150 Mc- Allisters and 400 Sherwoods to disturb the serenity of St. Louisif they dared attempt it. The one could not snub nor the other pat- ronize her cultured and refined society.She would regard the one as eaten up by envy and the other as a discerning person.who had been fortunate enough to meet some of her best people. She would crush both with a smile of superiority. That’s where good breeding shows itself. nnn. * * ww * HAWAII AND THE ANNEXATION POLICY The withdrawal of the American protect- orate from the Hawaiian Islands was a manly and self-respecting act. All the evidence points to the conclusion that the protectorate was not originally established in good faith, but was merely a part of a conspiracy in which Minister Stevens, and perhaps some politicians in Washington, were not deadheads. So far as can be learned it served only the purposes of a cabal, and was not intended to preserve Hawaiiar peace in the interest of the Ha- waiian people. Commissioner Blount’s prompt action puts the matter in a shape in which it can be considered without prejudice or bias in favor of either of the Hawaiian parties. And besides, it is a notice to the world that the American peo- ple will not use their great power like bullies, and that overwhelming force may go along with a spirit of justice, modera- tion and self-respect. It is impossible to guess at this time what the outcome will be. We do not even know the avtitude of the Administra- tion toward the abstract question of ter- supposed to animate their every act. Democrats and Republicans alike go to boasting and bullying whenever they see a chance to the might, majesty, power, dominion and incomparable glory of the Yankee Ration. Whether or not the Administration will adopt the so- called vigorous American policy’’ re- mains to be seen, but it is to be hoped that the sober second thought of the peo- ple will prevent a first step in the direction of imperialism, for a first involves a sec- ond and a third, as England’s experience amply shows. Once embark upon a policy ! of territorial aggrandizement and we must make up our mind to continue it as long as there are lands to covet and netghbors to despoil. But whatever happens there will be no ob“ in it. We believe that annexation, however brought about, will be a misfor- tune, but President Cleveland’s character is a guarantee thatit will not be a dis- grace. If the disaster comes we shall la- ment it, but we will not have to blush for Government action plainly inspired by ignoble motives. THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN. In aninterview published the other day Bishop Spalding of Peoria said some very plain and sensible things concerning Sun- day observance with particular reference to the unwise action of the authorities in closing the World's Fair on that day. In the course of this interview he said: Ihope some means can yet be devised through which the Fair will be opened Sun- day. There will be thousands of visitors here, and with the saloons and places of vice being wide open while the gates of the Fair are shut, Ifear there will be cause for regret that the Exposition was closed. I believe that all museums and libraries should be open Sundays. They act as educa- tors, and no one disputes the fact that they elevate mankind. If puritanical customs must prevail, why not close the public parks on Sundays? If Christian ministers insist on closing the gates of the Exposition, workingmen will belleve that the Church has no sympathy with them, and the influence the Church now has among them will be almost entirely destroyed, There is sound sense as well as religious feeling in this. Rightdoing is determined in the long run by right thinking, and no means should be spared to train the popu- lar mind by contact with the best the world of thought contains. The purifica- tion of taste goes hand in hand with the purification of morals, if indeed it is not one of the conditions precedent to correct ideas on moral questions. A boy whose taste for good books, or good pictures, or good music is carefully cultivated will not feel the same temptation to indulge the grosser craving for vicious delights which often brings ruin to so many. who never know the profit derived from intellectual pleasures. The warning contained in the last para- graph of the above extract should be thoughtfully considered by Christian min- isters. It isa fact recognized by every one in this country and in England that it is not good to alienate the workingmen from the churches. They are beginning tolook uponthechurch as indifferent to their welfare if not inclined to abandon the masses for the sake of the wealthy classes, and the workingmen have some- how been led to believe that the church is behind the Sunday closing movement. This isnot afair judgment because the act of a few thousand overzealous Sabba- tarians certainly does not indicate the at- titude of the churches themselves, but it is enough to exasperate those who suffer from itandis likely to widen the breach whichis already too wide. Many repre- sentative churchmen, Protestant and Catholic, have spoken justas plainly as Bishop Spalding on the subject and to the same effect. W OPEN ALL THE BOXES Judge Harrison has decided that the bal- lots of last fall’s election must be inspected and counted inthe Pohlman-Staed con- test in spite of the fact that the boxes have been opened and the ballots transferred to other boxes contrary to law. The evidence obtainable by a scrutiny of the ballots under these circumstances may not be so conclusive as that obtainable from the ballot-boxes that were used in the recent April election, which have since been kept under seal as the law directs, But no matter what the Pohlman contest may reveal, the people of St. Louis are to be congratulated on the fact that there is nolonger any available technicality be- hind which gross election frauds can be shielded from detection and exposure. For years past it has been understood that dishonest election officers could, without any formidable risk of exposure, commit almost any crime in the way of tampering with ballots and making false counts and false returns. In connection with this understanding the anxiety of the ward bosses to have the naming of the election officers has been interpreted as an indication that they were doing a thriving businessin insuring election certificates and disposing of offices, as well as fran- chises, at private sale. An inspection and recount of every bal- lot voted in our recent spring election would, therefore, under the supervision of acompetent court, de of great benefit in future elections, both asa guide to blun- ‘dering election officers and as a warning to crooked ones, Should every defeated can- didate in that election inaugurate a con- test and get a recount of Benen ees * It was noar the big ‘school-house. children were on the sidewalks for a block or two.

Presentiy on the east side of the street, three very them with beautiful faxen hair falling over her shoulders. By the side of them, and next to the fence, walked a schoolboy looking happy, but a little uneasy withal. His manner was that of a youngster who seemed glad to be there, but did not want to attract attention. He was with the girls, but hoped that as he was between them and the fence, he might not be noticed. All at once a shout went up from the boys on the opposite sidewalk. They had discovered him, ‘‘Ah+h! ah-h-h! Isidore! Ah-h, ah h, ah-h, ah-h! Isidore! Ah-h,ah-h,ah-h,ah-h!’’ The cry was caught up in all directions, Nothing else was said, but this was uttered in such ‘*Ain’t-you-ashamed’’ tones that it was unmistakable, There was no stopping it, and Isidore, angry and mortified, darted away from the little girls and began sparring with a boy who had **hollered’’ at him, The little girls arpeared to take hardly any notice of what had been goingon, though one of them was no doubt the sweetheart of the boy who was walking with the trio. There was nota boy in the crowd who did not secretly wish him- self in Isidore’s place, but as they had not his courage they determined to shame him off and they very quickly accomplished their ungenerous design. It was a mean thing for the boys to do. They ought to have let Isi- dore alone.

New Ton, April 15.—The presence in town Gen. Russen A. Alger and the frequent conferences he held with President James 8. * Olarkson of the Republican National League, ex-Senator Tnomas ©. Platt and other lead- ers, have induced some politicians to believe _Abat the anti-Harrison forces are already getting into trim for 1896. That they propose „ to make themselves felt at the Louisville Don vention no one seems to doubt. They in- tend to reorganize the league in such a way “that it cannot be used by those who may Support Harrison for a renomination. It has been intimated more than once dur- ingthe past that the same slement in the league which favored Jas. G. Blaine will now mid eim organizing a movement which they ‘hope will result in Alger being the most for- _midable candidate before the next Repub- lican Convention. 5 It will be remembered tukt in 1884, and also fn 1688, Clarkson and Piatt, perhaps more through personal friendship than anything else, expressed their desire that Alger should De nominated for President or Vice-Presi- Gent. It was argued, so marvelous had been the growth of the northwest, that the party could not afford to ignore it. Were there any Ganger of losing States in that section it would be removed, it was urged, by placing Alger on the ticket, When Blaine was nominated in 1884, Clark- don and Piatt thought Alger should go on the ticket for Vice-President, but Logan was mominated. In 1888 the first choice of Clark- Don and Piatt for the presidential nomination was Alger, but they could not swing enough ‘Votes to nominate him. Last year Clarkson Platt were for Blaine and Alger, and very frankly prophesied that Harrison Sold mot. be re-elected. Though it is the custom and constitution of the National League toindorse any candidates for office until they have been duly nom mated at party conventions, it is known that friends of Gen. Alger propose, if they can, to Organize it so that its influence may be counted for him when the next presidential convention is held. Mr. Olarkson has in- timated tnat he will not take a renomination for the Presidency of the league. He and ether friends of the Michigan lumberman are going to see to it, however, that noone fnimical to Alger is placed in command of the league. Ddwin A. McAlpin of this State is anxious to succeed Mr. Clarkson. If he does, efforts win be made to exact a pledge from him that ‘he will, so far as possible, aid in promoting the success of the Alger presidential boom. MEMORIAL TO THE PRESIDENT. DEMOCRATS OF KANSAS PRESENT THEIR CASE AND INDORSE MARTIN. Wroenira, Kan., April 15.—The sub- commit tee appointed by the Democratic Committee for the Seventh Congressional District (rep- resented by Populist Jerry Simpson), at a meeting held here on April 7, to draft and present to President Cleveland a memorial on the political situation in Kansas and an indorsement of Senator John Martin, to-day concluded its labors. The memorial is ad- Gressed to the President of the United States, and after citing the authority by which it ls drawn up, continues: all the time that Kansas has been a State the Democratic party has been in such minority until the preseut year it has never but once represented ia the National Congress and has but once elected a State official.

GAMBIER IN COMMERCE, A Much Used Product About Little Is Known. There are perhaps few substances more widely, ifindirectly, used and at the same time less known to those outside the imme- diate industry concerned than gambier. The very name is unfamiliar to the general public, while any knowledge of the origin and mode of preparation of gambler is un- common, Gambier is very extensively employed in the dyeing and tanning industries, and a large number of materials and articles of daily use have in the course of their manu- facture been treated with the substance under consideration. Gambier is, moreover, a Valuable medicine, andthe more carefully prepared qualities are largely used in cases of diarrhea, dysentery, relaxed throat, etc. Similar*in chemical composition to ordi- nary catechu, mbier ts obtained by boiling the leaves and twigs of the uncaria gambir plant, a native ofthe East, and found either wild or cultivated in the Straits Settiements and Johore, as well as in Java and Sumatra, Uncaria gambir belongs to the natural order rubilaces®, in which are also embraced the cinchonas or quinine- yielding Nr as well as coffee, The flowers are small and crowded together, and the plant itself isa strong, shrubby climber. Gambier appears to have been used in India tor dyeing purposes from avery remote period, Dut its introduction into Europe commenced with the present century. The manufacture of gambierts still con- ducted on very primitive lines and with the crudest appliances. A plantation is gener- ally cropped some eighteen months after be- ing new yay and cropping may be repeated as often as four times a year, the operation — ofttimes conducted with no sparing hand. The remaining process is exceedingly simple. The leaves, twigs, etc., are bolled ina rough caldron until the water ia which they are stee becomes syrup. The extract is then drawn off, cooled and stirrea until crystallization commences. The gambier is then cut by hand into cubes, dried either by simple exposure to the air or by smoke, and ed in mats for exportation. The life ofa gambier * 8 averages only some ten years, and in fifteen years at latest itisabandoned.

PAID THE PENALTY. 1 Execution of James Scott for Murder of His Landlord. the SPOKE FROM THE GALLOWS, BUT DID NOT CONFE&S HIS GUILT. Death by Strangulation Ensued Twenty Minutes After the Drop Fell—A Drug- gist Murdered—River Thieves Caught —PFeing Tried for Arsonm—-A Mayor Threatened—General Orime. TILER, Tex., April 15.—The execution of James Scott, who murdered his landlord, Mr. Ourtis, July 12, 1892, took place here to- day without incident. For some time past Scott has been shown every kindness and not longisince he professed religion, but refused to confess his gullt of the crime for which he was hanged to-day. The prisoner was taken tothe scaffold about 1:30 p. m. and bo- fore the adjustment of the capand rope he made an address of half an hour’s duration, speakingina rambling, meaningless way. Then Sherif!’ Reagan of Rusk pinioned his arms and legs and adjusted the Diack cap andtherope. At2:15 Sherif! Smith cut the rope, the drop fell, and though the neck was not broken, death by strangulation ensued intwenty minutes. The execution was wit- nessed by 3, 000 people. Scott was a renter ot land from Mr. Curtis and was to make the crop on halves. The men quarreled over a settlement of their ac- counts. On July 12 of last year, in the morning early, Mr. Curtis, who was about 75 years old, got on his horse, and in his shirt sleeves and unarmed, rode over to Scott’s house, some 600 yards distant from his own. The evidence of Scott's tamily was that Scott and Curtis quarreled, but that the latter rode off and as he reached about 8 yards from Scott's house Scott fired the contents of one barrel of his gun into the back and side of the old man’s head. Scott's oon statement, made to the first negro he met, was that when Cur- tis fell he saw the old man struggling as he lay on the ground, and then he jumped over the fence and fred the contents of the re- . barrel of his gun into his victim’s ead. Scott wassoon after arrested, tried, con- victed and sentenced to hang on April But the Governor grented bim arespite to April 15. This excited much indignation, and on the day first appointed for the execution a large crowd gathered in Taylor, and for a time it was thought the jail would be at- tacked and the prisoner hanged by a mob. That night Gov. Hogg was hanged in em on the very scaffold on which Scott was have been executed. 0 FOR TEN YEARS. LILLY’S SENTENCE FOR ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER. VANDALIA, III., April 15.—In the Oircuit here to-day Judge Phillips sent Fred Henry Lilly to the penitentiary for ten years for trying to kill his wife a month ago by cutting her throat with a pocket knife. The defense set upa plea of emotional insanity. The case was hotly contested. About three months ago Lilly procured a divorce from his first wife, who resides here. jie went to Peoria and married the woman he tried to killa month later. Mrs. Lilly de- her terribly she to him He here and tried to get his wifetocometo him. She paid no attention to his requests. Lilly then sent her a bogus telegram that he was dangerously ill. Mrs. Lilly came in response to his telegram and was met at the railway depot by her husband. She. refused to go with him, andthe following morning she went to the depot to take the train for Peoria. Lilly called her to one side and sud- denly pees a knife out of his pocket and drew it across her throat, almost severing the omer vein. Lilly, several years ago, served a term in the penitentiary for arsen. FRED. so leave WAR ox WHITE cars. JACKSON, Miss., April 15.—The good citi- zens of Mississippi, backed by Gov. Stone and the courts, have declared war upon White Caps, and this dastardly business, which is of recent appearance, will be stamped out. The indictment of nine young white men for takinga negro from his house and whipping himat night and the prompt conviction of the first one tried by 4 white jury upon the testimony of the negroes in the face of an attempted alibi sworn to by the young man’s family has caused conster- nation in the ranks of the lawless night riders, many of whom will soon be in stripes behind penitentiary walls. The offenders seem to belong to a class of white people whose purpose isto run negroes out of the country that they may rent lands cheaper or use the large farms inhabited by negroes for pastures.

T., April 15.—Prince Hawkins, who was convicted and sentenced to be shot at the Wewoka District Court, made his escape yesterday, which was the day set for his execution, 48 is the custom with the Indians, when a person is convicted and sentenced to be executed, he is allowed to run at largeand they generally show up at the appointed time, but here of late they are not 15 unctual as the officials think they \ FOUR RIVER THIEVES NABBED.

Shup and the case will be tried in the Circuit Court here, The affair has caused consider- able excitement, as Hammer is well known and very popular here. JUSTIFIABLE HOMIOIDE. TRIED FOR KILLING A WHITE CAD AND AO- QUITTED BY THE JURY. Perry, Ga., April 15.—Bill Brown is a freeman. The death of Wm. Hatchett at his hands was justifiable homicide. So de- cided a jury of white men at midnight last night. The case grew out of a series of White Cap outrages which have deen committed in this county, the aggressors being white men and their victims being negroes. Abouta month ago William er o> ett, sonofa highly respected farmer, was reported by one of the 1 a W hite Cap leader. his 80 him that he sought out rown,a negro, who had given him away, and warned him that on that night the whole settlement would be cleaned out. Thoroughly scared the negroes informed several rominent white men of their danger. hey were advised toarm tbem- selves, to be in readiness, and to fil! their as- sailants with lead. Thus encouraged they were prepared, and William Hatchett fell at the first volley. The better class of whites sustained the negroes in their work of self - defense, andthe acquittal of Bill Brown by the Superior Oourt puts an end to litigation on the subject. ' ABBIE OLIVER’S MURDERERS, THEIR PRELIMINARY HEARING POSTPONED, AS TYLER OLIVER WAS NOT THERE. MORGANFIELD, Ky., April 15.—Tyler Oliver, father of Abbie Oliver, whom George De- laney was forced to marry and who was killea by Delaney’s friends while re- ‘turning with her father and mother from the wedding,.was not able toattend the exam/ning trial of the Delaneys and six other yovog men undler arrest to-day and the hearing was tponed. If Oliver re- covers si:fliciently from his wounds the ex- Amiaing trial wii be held on Monday, the 24th inst. All tak of Iynch'ng has died away. The large crowd of people in town are quiet, and approve of the trial’s postponement. Druggist George P. Henry is allowed by the Court to remain out of jail under guard, but the guard ig bled. The other prisoners were remande?@ to jall. Nothing has yet been heard of Albert Car- tor, andthe conviction grows that heisa myth. CONFESSED TO MURDERING HIS BROTHER, UPPER SANDUSKY, O., April15.—A year ago in February, John Sigler, a stonemason of Osceola, east of here, was found dead in the upper portion of an old house near that place, with histhroatcut anda Enife lying by his side. He had been dead some time, and the opinion of the attending coroner was that he had been dead six weeks. The building in which he was found was used as a grain storage room for feedand the upper portion was seldom visited. Things looked queer, but as there was every appearance of suicide, such a verdict was rendered by the Coroner. This morning word reached this city that a brother of the dead man had confessed to having Killed him. Nothing further can be learned other than that the man making the confession is on his death bed, THE CLAYTON MURDER. LITTLE Rock, Ark., April 15.—A. J. Wer- ner, the officer who came from Butte, Mont., with Sherif! White, Hickey and Burk- hardt, arrived here this afternoon from Lutherville, Ark., where he went on Thurs- day to visita relative. Mr. Werner believes that Burkhardt knows somethingabout the Clayton murder, but is so unrellable that he is inclined to think he will be unable to pro- Guce any evidence that will clear up the mystery. The stenographer who reported the proceedings of the preliminary examin- ation for Col. W. H. H. Clayton, returned from Fort Smith Friday night. He delivered the testimony in full to Clayton, who read it over carefully, reaching the conclusion that it would take stronger evidence than that iven by Burkhardt to convince nim that ickey is the murderer of his brother. Wer- ner will leave for Butte City to-morrow, MATTHEW JOHNSON ON TRIAL. CHARGED WITH BEATING OUT THE BRAINS OF AN ENGINEER. New Tonk, April 18.—The trial of the West Indian negro, Matthew Johnson, for the murder of Emil Kuckelhorn, engineer in the lithographing establishment of Thomas & Wiley, on Dec, 10 last, was begun 1 before Judge Ingraham in Oyer and Termi- ner. In his opening address District Attor- ney Weeks dramatically described the crim and exhibited to the jury the wrench an iron bolt with which itis supposed the de- fendant beat out his victim’s brains. John- son listened unmoved to the statement and viewed the implements as unconcernedly as if he had never seen them before. Drawings showing the position in which the body was found and the places where bloody r- marks were discovered were also submitted in evidence, The testimony during the early part of the afternoon was confined to the discovery of the body. Louis Diehl, the engineer in the building where the murder was committed, told how he had followed the blood stains and Policeman John Reinhart described the sition in which he found the dead man. rederick Gilbert, Jr., truckman for Thomas & Wiley, said he had seen the person in th Vicinity of the bail on oon the day of the murder. isoa said he had heard of threats which Johnson had made to fe! en with the dead engineer.

MURDER AND SUICIDE. 5 LOUISVILLE, April 16.—The young couple found dead in bed at Ffishback’s Hotel were found to be W, Irving Gillis, a young man well-known in these parts, and Lizzie Kremer, a wayward young woman of 19 years, whose mother resides @t Nineteenth and Portlandavenue. There is no doubtthat the woman suicided with morphine, after 0 administered wh and morphine to Gillis with murderous intent. Letters found prove this tobe the case. Gillis and Lizzie were much attached to each other, their first meeting taking place four months ago. Three months ago Gillis received $8,500 upon the death of his grandmother and started on the downward path with renewed vigor, Hetraveled between Louisville and Chicago considerably. His father, lately de- ceased, was W. J. Gillis, Secretary ol the Louisville Water company. Lizzie Kremer, for the past year, had been living a shameful life, and caused her widowed mother much sorrow. The couple registered at the hotel, where they were found dead, under an assumed name, DANGER. BY MAYOR HIS HONOR IN THREATENING LETTER RECEIVED VANHORN OF DENVER. DENVER, Colo., April 15.—Mayor Vanhorn’s life has been threatened and his friends have a fear that the threats will be carried out, Last night, just before leaving his office, a letter was received, It was addressed to **Vanhorn, Mayor, and was innocent enough in outward appearance, but the con- tents were startling. 5 announcement was made in plain English that Mr. Van- horn’s life was in danger and advised his honor to be on his guard, The Mayor Cannot imagine who could be plotting against his life. He has no personal enemies and he does not believe that his politions opponents would thihk of sacha ng. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police and the best men in the depart- ment are to be put to workonit. Every effort will be made to ferret out the sender of the letter. Mr. Vanhorn announces that he will con- tinue to do business regardless of warnings and threats. HAD MISTAKEN HIS CALLING. New Tonk, April 15.—Rev. Wm, P. Drew, a Baptist clergyman, pleaded guilty yester- Cay in the General Sessions before Judge Martine of forging orders on Dodd, Mead & Co., publishers, for two copies of E. P. Roe’s novels. Drew formerly preached in Jersey City and taught Sunday-School at Bayonne, Judge Martin suspended sentence, saying: My inquiry into your past life satisfies te that the representation that this is your first offense, and that you have previously had But that Inquiry also satisfet me of another thing. It is that youare of a weak, yielding dispo- sition, inclined to give way to temptation. I think, therefore, that you have mistaken your avocation, and it would not be well for you to continue preaching.’’ THE BUCHANAN TRIAL. New Yorke, April 15.—Dr. W. R. Buchanan will not leave his cell in the Tombs to-day. His only visitor was his wife. She is a tall, good-looking young woman, about 27 years old.

STORE BURGLARIZED. CARTHAGE, Mo., April 15.—Webb City was visited by burglars early Friday morning and among other stores to suffer was the Obinn dry goods house from which over $1, 600 worth of silk for dresses, silk handker- chiefs and Rosary were secured. The thieves also raided tne till, securing $50. It is prob- ably the work of gamblers who had plied their vocation there for some days, although the officers suspect three men who were turned out of the Carthage jail last week. They undoubtedly left with the plander which they had packed in valises also stolen from the store and are doubtless heading for some city fence house. ¢ ON TRIAL FOR ARSON.

Custer—A Sensational Work by Rich- era Henry Savarve—Miss Marsden and the Siberian Lepers—Literary Notes. The book written by Mrs. E. B. Custer en- titled, Tenting on the Plains,“ will un- doubdtedly be an addition to American litera- ture that will be more and more appreciated as the nomoer of those who are familiar ‘with the method by which the wilderness was conquered diminishes. Noone else has given so vivid a picture of the life led by the little body of regular troops whose presence rendered possible the advance of settlement west of the Missouri River during the fifteen years succeeding the Rebellion. It has been the habit to consider the army as a place in which a great deal of genteel loafing could be done, an idea formed from seeing officers on detached duty in cities, Who had a great Gal of leisure time on their hands. The average civilian knew nothing of the trying mature of an officer's duty when with his regiment, the long campaigns, the exposure to the extremes of heat and cold, the con - stant dangers which the miniature com- mands sent against a savage foe had to face. Oonditions have altered, and the army life ‘on the frontier is a thing of the past, as the frontier itself has disappeared, but during the period of which Mrs. Custer writes the last thing that a cavalry officer could be Accused of was Padolence. Her book isa valuable addition © American literature, as it gives an account ofa phase of American life with which very few are familiar. A reader rises from the 15 perusal of its pages with a high opinion of ~~ army men, but a still higher opinion of army women. Dwellers in cities can scarcely ap- te the privations which delicately nur- aq women, accustomed to all the ts life, endured not complaint, but took Houses that kept yet A. 81 oe of without * 4 5 were obliged | for their lives from ana hing 5 * almost total absence of the comforts that gars ger 1 regarded as necessities, danger 3 ö the hands of those nearest an | deares 2 save them from the clutches o ~ pathie: va Were what the women fe ~ ty how _ ere : camp and garrison, and her utter uncon- sciousness of the heroism which she and the families of her brave husband’s brother of- ficers exhibited. Rides across the praires that were only possible under the escort ofa troop of cavalry, long journeys in wagons, when to stray beyond the range of the rifies of the guard meant death in its most horrible form, are treated as events of sO common occurrence as to deserve only passing mention. Women un- dertook journeys to rejoin their husbands for a few days or weeks when they well knew that the train was likely to be attacked by Indians at any moment, and that a serious attack, whether successful or un- successful, meant death to them, for the officers of the Seventh Cavalry had pledzed each other in case an Indian attack seemed in the least likely to succeed to kill every woman in the command at once. Mrs. Custer herself had a narrow escape from death in this manner, but what would have been an unforgetabie event in the life of an ordinary woman is passed over by her as something scarcely worthy of mention. Every army woman should be thankful to Mrs. Custer for letting the world know of their heroism, superior to that of the bravest soldiers. Pub- lished by Scribner’s, * * Readers of Richard Henry Savage’s latest work, A Masked venus, cannot complain that the plot suffers froma paucity of inci- dent. Battle, murder and sudden death are present in quantities sufficient to satisfy the most bloodthirsty, while those who desire to contemplate characters of abnormal deprav- ity have their wishes gratified in reading of the adventures of Beatrice Seaton, Brought up by ber father, a Southern gentieman of the finest type, she becomes separated from her family during the storms of the war, and reappears in St. Louls, where she sings ina choir and incidentally ‘murders a man who has been her lover. This man is the agentofa young Kentuckian, an officer in thearmy, who while seeking for the assas- sin falls in love with and marries Beatrice. That lady departs for Europe to complete her musical education, and is pursued by a de- tective, and also by her brother, who is in search of his sister whom he has not seen since childhood and of whose identity with Beatrice, whois masquerading under an as- sumed name, he is not aware.

Troops Now Stationed on the Franco-Ger- man and Ru sia German Frontiers. Written for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. Ot late the public has more than ever fol- lowed with attentive interest the movement of the troops in Central Europe. Aside from increases of army forces, espe- cially in Germany, the distribution of the military troops of the great powers over that territory, which it is expected will be the scene of the next great European war, has become an object of the watchfyl interest of the people in general. The entire frontier of France, from Verdun and Montmedy in the North to Belfort in the south, on the French side is fully garrisoned with a total of forty-five regiments of in- fantry, fourteen regiments of cavalry and sixteen regiments of field artillery. From Belgium to Switzerland every point of vantage is well guarded, and Verdun, Nancy, Lunevilie, Epinal and Belfort are especially well equipped. The German boundaries are equally well picketed on the other side of the line which divides these two inimical countries, al- though France hasthe advantage of possess- ing ten fortresses of first tothird rank along its frontier, while Germany has to content herself with six. Thetroops stationed from Diedenhof and Mets inthe North to Muehl- hausen in the South number inthe agegre- gate thirty-six regiments of infantry, fifteen regiments of cavalry and eighteen regiments of field artillery. The main force of the Ger- man army is concentrated inthe North over the same territory which marked the break- ing out ofthe last War and where the first battles were fought. On the Russian frontier Germany ts not as formidably guarded as on the French, while on the other hand Russia has gathered large forces ondts own side of the line and 18. con- stantly moving her troops in that direction. Silesia is the best guarded German province on account of its peculiar situation, project- ing far into the. boundaries of opposing powers, and by comparison occupying the same position which pertains to the Govern- ment of Warsaw on Kussian domain. From the Northern stronghold, to Kreuzburg and Pless in the South, the German army on the frontier opposite the Czar’s, numbers forty- seven regiments of infantry, twenty one regiments of cavalry and seventeen -regi- ments of field artillery. The fortress of Keenigsburg is the most tormida biy protected polut on the whole line. Russia has concentrated her principal military strength at Wliina, Warsaw and Kiew, and has of late Moved not less than nfantry, two brigades of the posses summoned to their brigades of field artillery, and several brigades of engineer troops. When it is ex- plained that a division organized as a fleld army comprises four regiments and a brigade two, the comparative strength of Russia and Germany on that boundary is very apparent. Compared withthe French frontier, Rus- sia on its line has but few fortresses, but the Pripet swamps in the North are a natural fortification of enormous significance in case ofaninvasion. Besides, Russia has built up anet-work of railways which from nearly every point On the frontier have direct con- nection with St. Petersburg and Moscow. The main force of the Russian army is stationed within a radius of i125 miles along the German- Austrian frontier which is con- sidered the most dangerous point. JAY GOULD’s NARROW ESCAPE. An Exciting Incident in His Life When He Was a Surveycr. Written for the SUNDAY POsT- DISPATCH. A remarkable Incident in the life of the late Jay Gould showing his narrow escape from a perilous undertaking is now perhaps for the first time told by a well-known business man of St. Louis, who was a native of New York State. It was after Mr. Gould’s successful survey of Delaware County that he engaged ina similar . r embracing the sur- vey and a history of Renssalaer County. In company with another young man, the son of a Presbyterian minister, at whose house Gould had made his home, they struck out into the heart of the new country which Was to be the fleid of operations, and en- aged lodgings at the house of a farmer. ‘hey got their odiometer and blanks in readi- ness to begin work the ensuing morning.

What Is Required of the Men Who Man- age the Locomotives. Written for the SUNDAY POS8T-DISPATCH. The part which Federal Judges Rick and Taft have played in the strike which resulted from the demand ofthe engineers on the Ann Arbor road attracts peculiar interest to the class of labor involved in the struggle. The hours that a railroad engineer works. the remuneration that he receives and the conditions under which he is placed, vary very much with the differ- ent rallroads. In all instances, however, the responsibility placed upon him is very great indeed, far greater in fact than that a man is called upon to assume in any of the ordinary avocations of ute. This work can never be shirked. He must bring his train in on schedule time, and bring it In safely, without mishap. A few failures to do this and he finds bimself discharged and without the possibility of se- curing work upon another road. No rallroad can afford to keep a man who is other than absolutely reliable. To become a full-fledged er requires no little preparation. As a rule a man must serve a term of from three to five years as fireman before he is —— As a fireman his work Hes principally in coaling and at- tending to the fires, no light task especially upon a fast train, and in cleaning and olling the engine under the di rection of the engineer. hould a man as fireman take an interest in his work and show a desire to learn, the engineer will, as arule, impart what knowledge he can and will allot him some more import- ant tasks, as for instance the care of the pum and the reguiating of the water in the boller. A fireman works about the same hoursasan engineerand receives about one-third less salary.

Mr. Piatt re- plied to Mr. Voorhees, but only in the way of presenting a legal argument in support of the Senate’s right to investigate a member’s past Mre, and incase of finding him gulltyof a grave offense, to expel bim. Mr, Platt de- ‘sired to reply, he saic, to the extraordinary position taken by the Senator from Indiana «Mr. Voorhees), who assumed to speak yes- terday for the Democratic Senators, and Mr. ‘George, who spoke for no one but himself. The Senator from North Dakota had pre- Sented himself on the (th of March atthe Opening session without any previous sug- gestion being made anywhere that there was * gnything whatever in his past life or conduct that militated against his being sworn in, or @gainst his being a proper member of the body. His credentials being in proper form, he had been admitted, had taken the oath, and had become a sitting Senator for North Dakota. On the (th of March a publication appeared inthe newspapers charging that Mr. Roach had been an officer ina bank of the District of Columbia and had embezzied $64,000 and had fled the city; that $25,000 of that sum had been paid to the bank by his bondsmen; that $16,000 had been realized from property which had belonged to him, and that the balance had never been made up to the bank. These were thefchrages,and he (Mr. Pratt) submitted (in reply toa suggestion of Mr. Voorhees)that it was not a question of morals but that it was a question of criminality. Those charges had been made. boldly and specifically and not having been denied, had not the Senate a duty to perform? The resolution for an investigation which had Deen offered by Mr. Hoar bad been stead- fastiy resisted on the other side of the chamber until yesterday when the Senator from South Dakota himself asked that the matter be investigated. _ + But the request had been immediately Wed dy a denial by the Senator from sippi (Mr. George) ofthe right of the aA te to make the investigation and a little ae. r by the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Voor- a speaking for the Democratic side of " the chamber, utterly denying the right of tie senate to investigate in any circum- ey: 0 „Now, Mr. President,“ continued Platt, eit the Senate has the right and power, I > @hinkit will be very hard fora Senator on a + ait ‘side of the chamber to say that it eint pot be exercised in this case.

The only ships that were built while he was Secretary of the Navy were the Chi- dne. the Boston, the Atlanta and the Dol- phin, And these ships, he thought. were very much afioat at this day. The contracts for those ships had been made with Mr. John Roach, and it could not be to him that the Senator alluded as one of those who had re- tired rich, contented and infamous. John Roach had become a failed con- man. He desired to interpose a dis- tinct denialto Mr. Voorhees’ charges and to deny also any er. that had found its way into the public prints in any way affect- ing either his personal or his official con- uct, Mr. Voorhees explained that his remarks yesterday were intended as an illustration ofthe position taken ~ the Senator from New Hampshire and other Senators on that side. The language whica he had used in reference to Mr. Chandler he had heard used by others and not at a very remote period from the present time. Mr. Hansbrough (Rep., N. D.) also rose to a question of personal privileges and began by expressing the hope that the Senate would not adjourn without igiving his colleague (Mr. Roach) the opportunity asked by him yesterday. a No political party in the Senate hada right to deny the privilege requested by his col- league. He hoped that the Senate would not adjourn without giving himthe opportunity to clear himself of the charges against him and he asked unanimous consent to have a vote taken on the resolution. Objection was made by several Democratic Senators. At the suggestion of Mr. Munderson (Rep.) of Nebraska, the recent decisions of Judges Speer, Taft and Ricks as to the rights and duties of railway employes were ordered to be printed asa document for the use of the Senate. The Senate then — to the constder- ation of executive business. At 5:50 the doors were reopened and a resolution was offered by’ Mr. Manderson (Rep.) of Nebraska, and ugreed to, tendering the thanks of the Sen- ate to the Vice-President for the impartiality and courtesy with which he has presided over the Senate during the present extraor- dinary session. Mr. George renewed his effort to have $5,000 get aside out of the contingent fund for the expenses ofan investigation by the Commit- tee on Agriculture during the recess. A good Gealof opposition was made to it on the Democratic side of the chamber, and finally, as a short way out of that and other pending aificaities, Mr. Cockrell (Dem.) of Missouri moved that the Senate adjourn sine dite. The vote was taken and the motion was defeated eas, 23; nays, 23, a tie. Party lines were ignored in this vote,sixkepublicans voting in the affirmative and eighteen in the negative, while seventeen Democrats voted for it and twelve against it. Mr. George's resolution was then{defeated, and a resolution instructing the Committee on Contingent Expenses to fix the amounts to be allowed for the several committee in- vestigations was agreed to, as were also the various pending resolutions authorizing such investigations. A motion to adjourn sine die was then made by Mr. Hill (Dem.) of New York and was agreed to withouta division. The Vice- President said, before announcing the re- sult of the vote just taken: 1 beg to ex- press my earnest appreciation of the uniform courtesy shown me by the members and officers of this body during the session now closing. For the resolution, personal to my- self, so kindly adopted by the Senate, I am profoundly grateful. In accordance with the vote just taken, I now declare this extraordinary session of the Senate adjourned without delay.’’ The Hoar resolution does not die with this, but will be the first business laid be- fore the Senate atthe next session; whether it will be pressed then remains to be seen. The Republican Senators declare that it will. and that, meanwhile, the whole case will be prepared and submitted at that time. They will likewise renew at the next session the fight against Senator John Martin of Kansas, though in that case no serious hope of un- seating the member is entertained, Ihe recess investigation which has been ordered will, itis predicted, result in a com- plete triumph for Mr. Martin. THE EADS JETTIES. Not Sufficient Depth of Water in the South Pess for Big Ships. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 15.—The require- ments of the contract between the Eads Jetty Improvement Co. and the United States Government has been recently a sub- ject of consideration by the ship brokers and agents of New Orleans. The matter has been broughtup throughareport thatthe depth of water in the South Pass channel has recently, in some places, not been in ac- cordance with the contract and thatas a consequence several large vessels drawing twenty-six feet of water dragged through channel where, it is said, the depth should have been thirty feet. Several secret meetings of gentlemen interested in shipping have been held at which the alleged depreciation in the depth of the channel was thoroughly discussed. It was finally agreed that the War Department should be notified of this condition of affairs, and a communication bearing upon the sub- ject was sent to the secretary. Those who took partinthe conference are not willing to speak of the matter untllareply has been received, when they will know just what action can be taken. They did not belléve that agitation ofthe matter in the commun- ity would do any good at the present time, but on the contrary would work injary to this port. The gentlemen who took part in the conferences were not atalisure that there wasinthe contract a clause requiring a depth of thirty feet in the pass other than atthe jetties. ‘chat was one of the points on which they desired information. Naturally if the depth was not malntained in the chan- nel this side of the jetties there would be serious trouble, for vessels to reap the ad- vantage of the jetties required sufficient watertoreachthem. Ocean-going steamers are constantly growing larger, andif they could not clear from New Orleans with full cargoes they would gotoother places. Asa matter of fact the question was one of more interest tothe city than to the owners and agentsof the vessels. It issaid that con- tractors are required to keep the channel 26 feet deep and not less than 200 feet wide at the bottom and having through ita central depth of 30 feet without regard to width through the jetties. It is also said that there have been times when this channel has not been maintained throughout and that reduc- tions have been made upon the payment due the improvement company. MARTIN LUTHER. A Lineal Descendant of the Great Man Living in Foverty. New Yorn, April 15.—A direct lineal de- #scendant of Martin Luther and bearing the name of Martin Luther resides in abject pov- erty inan old ramshackle butiding at Union Course, L. I., near the passenger platform ofthe rapid transit trains. He lived until lately in the building that was used for union religious services, George E. Tilley of Ja- maica made his acquaintance some time ago. Mr. Luther declares that he left Mohra, in Saxe-Meiningen, Germany, twenty years ago. His home was in a large house next to the parsonage. ip front of the house stands a statue of Martin Luther. This bouse has been an ancestral home for nerations. Biographies of Martin Luther describe him as having deen born at Eiselben. His father left Mohra for Eiselben tu work in the cop- per mines. A biography of Martin Luther states thatthere are now three families of the name of Lutberin Mohra. This place is onthe highway leading from Eisenach to Sals ungen. The village stands away from the road atthe foot of a hill, one of the mountain spurs which the Thuringtan forest projects to the valley of the Werra River, Found Dead in Be.

ENGLISH OCCUPATION OF THE COUNTRY NOT NECESSARY NOW. But the British Have Given Valuable Aid to the Government— Their Leaving Would Not Be Followed by a French Invasion—Nor Would the Turks Dare Attempt to Ocoupy the Land. New Tonk, April 15.—The following cor- respondence from Cairo, Egypt, is printed here under date of March 22: His Excellency Tig Rane Pacha, the Egyp- tian Minister of Foreign Affairs, obliged me with an audience to-day. Like most of his official compatriots he charmed me by his tact, his simple kindness and distinction. He is asparely built, tall, thoughtful, intel- lectual man of about 50. We talked in English, over cigarettes and coffee, and al- though our conversation was informal, it touched on many points of genuine interest. The high position of his excellency forced him to observe a certain well defined reserve in the discussion of some subjects, but I am not betraying his trust in giving you, if not a strictly literal, at least a general notion of what passed be- tween us. We foreigners, said I, bear more than one side of the Egyptian question. We know the French and the English views. But we rarely hear what the Egyptians think. We do not get at the real heart of Egypt.’’ That istrue,’’ said his excellence, and much of what is told in foreign papers is misleading and inaccurate. To read, for in- stance, what the English papers print, you would suppose that we were in a state not far from insurrection. Now Iask you if you have seen anything at all like disorder here Have you known foreigners to be attacked as the daily London Graphic falsely said that a young lady. was at Shephearda’s? Have you even heard of any insult to strangers in the streets? Of course not. There has been no single instance of disorder. And if, as you percieve, all is so calm, it is superfiuous to add that all is calmer inthe Egyptian prov- inces. »The Dervishes? Oh, they area long way off—beyond Wady Halfa. »In your opinion were those reinforce- ments needed?“ would rather not give a direct answer to that question. Look about you and judge for yourself. The Egyptians are made up of various peoples, and chiefly of the Fellaheen, Copts and Bedouins. The Copts, who mostly live in Upper Egypt, are Christians. Neither among them nor in Lower Egypt is there any sign of fanaticism, or of objection tothe foreigner per se. For many years before the English landed, as long ago, indeed, as in the times of Mehemet All, we had employed foroigners—English, French, Italians, Germans and Americans. They acted more or less for the Egyptian Government as educators. They were chosen with a view to their fitness for serious duties which they were required to render in organizing particular brauches of the Government service. As they did not oversteptheir places they were thoroughly at one with ourselves In short they were Egyptian functionaries in the strict sense of the werds, and we did not ask their nationalities. Then, too. ihey were less numerous than now. „And now?’’ I echoed. **Well, now things seem much changed, replied his excellency. * **But coula ou do without foretgn—that is without English—assistance?’’ That would depend on how things were prepared,’’ wasthereply. ‘‘And if by as- sistance you mean an occp pation, let me remark that there are two ways of occupying Egypt. There is a civil and there is a military occupation. We do not in the least object to the assistance of civilians. We are quite willing to admit their usefulness.’’ Does your excellency foresee the time when it will be possible for Egypt to dispense with military help?’’ All true Egyptians foresee that, Said the Pacha with much dignity. It is only a question of how earnestly the present policy, which contemplates an eventual evacuation, is carried out. But in the meantime,’’ I suggested, you allow no doubt that Enviand has done much to set things right here. „Me are indebted to her for a good deal,“ said the Pacha. She has helped to drill our troops. And, in passing, I may draw your attention to the fiDe appearance and the sturdy bearing of our young recruits. And she has introduced much greater regu- larity in the collection of the taxes on the plan institutec by the dual control.“ * aside the comparatively few educated Egyptians, do you see anything in Fey pt like patriotic aspirations?’’ said I, The word ‘patriotism’ if by that you mean the sentiment attaching to what the French call patrie“ and the Germans vaterland,“ ig not more under- stood’ in Egypt than in Englaud,“ answered his excelleney. The whole idea embodied in the word ‘patrie’ is modern. but every fellah loves the land in which he is born and lives, and wishesto be relieved of foreign interference.“ Jour people.“ Icontinued, ‘‘I suppose, make no distinction between French, English and other foreigners?’’ They regard the English somewhat dif- ferentiy just now, said the Pacha. That is natural. An argument against evacuation that one hears in England, I observed, is that it would be followed by a French occupation.“ whe do not think 80, was the answer. In any case we have no wish to mere change one occupation tor another. Nor is there any fear, as some fancy, that the Turks would step in if the English went out. Our relations with the sublime porte would remain what they have long been. Our privileges and obligations are defined by firmans. The privileges, far from having been curtailed, have been in- creased since Mehemet Ali’s time.“ Do you regard the possession of the Sou- dan by Egypt as important?“ It is of vital importance. We cannot leave the sources of the Nile in foreign hands. There are times, as you know, when we cannot let one drop of the Nile waters flow out of Egypt. That is — 4 we have constructed the bar- rage, which you have no doubt seen. What isthere to prevent another barrage being built higher up the river? and if it were dullt what results would follow?“ Some day, then, we must regain the Soudan. As to the time for undertaking the reconquest, that depends on many delicate matters; on the position of the Mahdi, his strength or weakness and on whether his followers are few or numerous, united or divided. Of these things we know vir- tuaily nothing. And it may be as you think, that Uganda will be made the starting point of an expedition. But Uganda is too far from the sea, I take it, to bea base of operations. It would be easier to as- cend the Nile from Egypt. es, observed his excellency, in reply to a remark about the Khedive, his high- ness, althongeh young, is energetic, able, strong and straightforward. He acts like a man of thirty. And therein lies much hope for Egypt. ‘ THE most complete assortment of imported cheviot suitings ever shown in the city Is now to be seen on our tables.

So she commen trot- ting up and down the stable at a lively pace, all the time trumpeting loudly. This noise soon set the other animals trying their vocal organs. In the stable were lions, tigers, bears, leopards, hyenas, wolves, pumas Hamas, and numerous other wild beasts, and they all be to make as much noise as possible. A iceman patrolling his beat heard the unroar ahd thinking the ani- mais were murdering one another, ran to the house of Mr. Burns, When that gentleman arrived at his miniature jungle he took in the situation at a glance. Walking up to the elephant, who at this time was recklessly throwing bags of bran around the place, he caught her by the ear and said: ‘*Oome with me, Parthena. She followed him immedi. ately, meekly as a lamb, into her stall. It wassome time, however, before the other animals became quiet.

J.) granger, dashed down the main street of Deckertown at a high rate of speed the other day. I want a warrant for my hired man, Squire, he yelled, as h e caught sight of a Justice of the Peace sun- ning himselfin front ofa drug store. One cold evening in January last just as the Tims family were sitting down to supper a young man knocked at the door and asked fog work. He was Walter T.

Tims employed him without further conversation, and he sat down and joined the family at supper. It was a terrible mis- take that Tims made, for Ida, only un- married daughter, fellinlove with Burk on the spot and the hired man showed that the tender feeling was reciprocated. That night Ida went to bed with a sad heart, for her parents had told her that she should not eat or speak with Burk again. The next morning Tims told Burk of his suspicions, and that it he caught him making further advances to his me — he would discharge him at once. Burk did not say anything. His work was satisfactory and everything went well until Tims discovered that his reproofs had failed. Burk was promptly discharged then. Later it was learned by the Tims fam- lly that Burk had got work on a neighboring farm. Then Burk and Ida renewed their secret sparking. They were very shy and the old folks suspected nothing until Tims found Burk knocking at his daughter’s door one . morning. He was instantly ordered from the place. He refused to go and offered tofight, They retired to the yard tofight. Ida followed and Burk in the — ence of her father asked her tomarry him.

Lowpox, April 15.—Practically nobody in Europe is going to the World's Fair. That is to say none of the class of people who travel first-class. Here are the exact facts as gath- ered by careful inquiry. The steamship companies know everybody who is going, because the only way to get across the At- lanticis through them, Yet thereis nota single line that has booked half a dozen extra passengers on account of the World's Fair. The returning crowd of Americans, who nearly always take the precaution to engage rooms for the return in advance, have more than three-quarters filled all the large vessels up tothe last of September. At the Ameri- can I ine, at the Cunard line, atthe White Star line, advance bookings are said to be about the same as last year and if possiblea little lighter. In France the French line om Clals make the same report, and in Germany both the Hamburg-American and the North German Lioyd agents told your corres pond- ent that they expected flew passengers for the World's Fair. Thus far practically no rooms have been engaged. Any persons going between now and September would have already engaged passage. At the same time, the tide of travel this way threatens to be somewhat lighter. Not because of the World's Fair so much as for fear of a cholera outbreak. Tradesmen in Paris had a very bad season last year because of the scourge, and most of them cannot stand asecond badsummer. The absence of Americans two seasons in succession means bankruptcy for them, and they were all tak- ing a gloomy view of the situation when seen by your correspondent this week. The same istrueinaless degree of English shoppers. That most of Europe is to have a second vis- itation of cholera everybody who has studied the subject Grmly believes. The disease has Already reappeared on the Continent, even @arlier than experts anticipated. At Vorient, in France, in France, the cholera is as Virulent as it ever was last year. During the three weeks from March 10 to March 81 there were 288 cases and 112 deaths there, and during the nine days from April 1 to April 9 there were 188 cases and 66 deaths. On the 10th 61 new cases were reported and this is in a town of less than 10,000 inhabitants. There is not much trade between L’Orient and England, but the re- ports showthat the epidemic is gradually Working Ks way up toward those ports, which are in daily communication with these islands. The port of Quimbeur in France is infected as are several smaller towns, The newspapers andthe Government of France geemto be bending their energies toward keeping this matter quiet. In Russia the Gholera continues, and its victims number hundreds, and the invasion has spread across the frontier into Galicia on its march toward Vienna. Queen Victoria has given np her projected Visit to Venice, because of these alarming re- ports of cholera. There was a falling of 10,000 in the number of passengers who crossed the channel, or rather thers were so many peaple who did not cross the channel for fear of the cholera. This year the de- crease promises to be larger. The United States is carefully inspecting vessels which go out from here, and at Southampton have attached Dr. Pettus tothe American Oonsular staff to board all vessels clearing and to ex- amine all passengers and luggage. A BIT OF HISTORY MAKING. The making of history has been going on in asomewhat more melodramatic form than usual this week. Europe has gained a king in the good old-fashioned way. Sixteen- year-old Alexander of Servia decided Thurs.- day night that he was old enough to de King, “so he quietly invited the reigning regents to dinner, gave them a good meal, locked them up in his castle, and proclaimed himself King. Nobody objected except the regents and there is general rejoicingover gaining another monarch. In Belgium this pleasure is shown on the reverse side, the common people having somewhat too muchof their King and incensed at the failure of the unt versal suffrage bill they hoped to pass, are rioting and striking all over the little king- dom. For one day matters looked bad in Brussels, with street barricades and much of the paraphernalia that goes with a French commune, but thestrikers are quieting down now and there is a promise that an act mak ing suffrage much more general will be „ Here in England the great dock strike at Hull is on the old lines of resistance to smaller wages. The streets are full of cavairy. extra police has been imported and a gunboat p&trolsthe harbor. It isa fore- condlusion that the strike will fail. Over in Faris the Behring Sea arbitration continues to attract visitors. Thus far the American side has somewhat the best of the controversy. There has been only one de- cision, thaton admitting some evidence put in at a late hour by Great Britain. The United States objected to this evidence, and the court; after listening toa three days debate, decided in favor of America. For three now Mr. Carter has been speaking on the main argument and his speech ts not yet finished. Asa clear, eloquent presentation of the case his address has been a model, lightful to listen to in spite of the dry sub- Theladies accompaning the American tes are seen everywhere enjoying Paris and the interchange of dinner between the English and American counsel continues as a regular feature of the conference, ASTOR’S PURCHASE, After living at Cliveden for some months, Wiliiam Waldorf Astor has bought outright that famous country seat from the Duke of Westminster, The place is only 300 acres in extent, but it owes it importance to its banks of the Thames near Taplow, This makes two immense houses in tha, best part det London and one of the finest country seats Astor has thus far for his own use, and are more to come.

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, Presideat Cleveland's sister, who has been traveling in Europe, was in the ladies’ aoa in the House of with Miss Amy tified with the Nationalist monet, an immense demand for seats in the gallery and they are always taken a week in advance, so that when they arrived at the House last night there was no vacant seat. However, David Sheehy, Secretary of the Irish National Federation, happened to have two Irish ladies in the gallery and they gave up their places to Miss Cleveland and her friend. She heard the speech of Home Secretary Asquith, the ablest yet delivered from the Ministry in this dsicussion. She also saw and heard and held her breath during the exciting scene in which Lord Cranbonre,the eldest son of Lord Salisbury, was compelied by the Irish mem- ders to get up in his place and abjectly apol- Ogize for having called out ‘‘Murderer!’’ when the Home Secretary spoke of Davitt. The scene was brief but violent, and it really looked as though a hand-to-hand en- counter, whieh has seemed to be so long im- pending between the Liberals and extreme Tories, was abouttotake place. Lord Cran- borne, a youth full of rabid hatred of the Irish, showed no fight. Miss Cieveland held a little reception after sheleftthe gallery. John Dillon, William O’Brien, I. F. O’Connorand Edward Blake were introduced to her at their request. She was fullofsympathy for the bill and out- spoken in advocating home rule. The vote will not be taken before next Fri- day;frst, because Mr. Gladstone believes this debate is strengthening the cause and, secondly, because the Speaker would not consent to cloture even {ff asked for. Mr. Gladstone intends tospeak again on Thurs- day or Friday, bat he will not wind up the debate according to custom, as his doctor forbids him to speak after dinner. There 1s one featureof all the Unionist speeches which is significant and hopeful. They one and alladmit, some expressly and some im- pliedly, that it this bill is passed it will be impossible to revert againto the old party positions on the Irish question and that home rule of some sort must be granted. The Unionists, if they get back to power, will make home rule as trivial as they dare, but the stronger the attitude and the fight made on this bill, the better terms they will offer in the general election. ' 4 JACOBITE FAD. Some royal Englishmen are beginning to grow angry at seeing Queen Victoria's pictures upside down on letters posted by the latter-day Jacobites. These individuals who pretend to be intensely devoted tothe Gefunct House of Stuart, are treating the Government postage stamps in this dts- courteous fashion, while they put on their letters a Jacobite postage stamp with the portrait of the Bavarian Princess, Maria Theresa, who according to Jacobite customs, is the legitimate sovereign of Engiand. The general public have no objection to the Jacobites stamping their letters all over with portraits of a dosen princes, and the authorities feel much the same way as long as a genuine postage stamp is on the letter to carry it through the mails. But putting Queen Victoria’s portrait upside down is not considered exactly decorous, and it is ré- ported that steps will be taken to put an end to this pecullar from of the Jacobite fad. DRIFTING TO SOCIALISM. From New Zealand comes news that the people of that colony are rapidly drifting to- ward socialism. The legislators of New Zea- land are all the time experimenting, and their experiments are all inthe dtrection of state socialism. The eight-hour movement has-been carried through to a successful isene. and the weekly half-haliday for shop assistants has been legally enjoined. A la- bor bureau to find employment for people out of work has been in existence for nearly a year, and so many Dilis altering factory leg- islation aud affecting various trades have been brought forward that the conservative portion of the community is beginning to re- sist the encroachments on individual free- dom. At present, however, the labor social- ist element is inthe ascendant, and there is no telling where the legislative cure-all sys. tem will stop. BARON NASTINGS’ TRIAL. Sir George Manners Astley, who sits in the House of Lords as Baron Hastings, and who was convicted on March 2 last of having in- sulted a girl in Regents Park, and sentenced to pay a fine of £50, or to be imprisoned for three months, appealed against the sentence imposed upon him and to-day the appeal was heard. The girl who it is charged had been insulted, was the principal witness. She de- clared to-day that she did not consider Baron Hastings’ behavior indecent. A man named Wells, formerly a constable, was the person who had made the charge against Baron Hastings, and caused his arrest. He was compelled to admit that he had been dis- missed from the police force for seducing a girl under 13 years ofage. Counsel for Baron Hastings bandied this witness without gloves and showed dy his questions that he thoucht Wells frequented the parks for the purpose of levying blackmall upon men and women. This the witness denied, Dut it was evident from his own admission that his character was by no means good. The court quashed the conviction and Baron Hastings was discharged, THE SUTHERLAND CASE. The hearing of the celebrated Sutherland casein the Probate Court has brought to light the sensational statement that the dow. ager Duchess of Sutherland burned the court records, of which she had possession under an order permitting their inspection. The present Duke of Sutherland instituted pro- ceedings to overthrow the will made by his father in favor of the dowager Duchess, who is the late Duke's second wife, whom he married on March 4. 1889, she was Mary Caroline, widow of Arthur Kindersley Blair. The Duke was at the time about 61 years of age. The marriage led to bitter disputes betweon the late Duke and his second wife on the one hand, and the present Duke, then Marquis of Stafford, on the other hand, and the late Duke was greatly aggrieved by the hostile attitude of the Marquis. The late Duke died on Sept. 22, last, hav- ing made a will as favorable as possible to his second wife. A dispute almost immedi- ately began between the new Duke and dow- ager Duchess concerning the possession of one of the ducal seats, Tittensor Chase, near Trentham, and also concerning certain valu- able family heirlooms, The present Duke contested his father’s willandin the court to-day counsel in behalf of the present Duke asked that awrit of attachment be issued against the dowager Duchess, on the ground that having obtatned an order to inspect certain papers she had deliberately placed in the frea document which under the order he was permitted to inspect. Justice Jeune sald that the charge was a serious one. The Justice at once stopped the order of inspection and said that the dow- axer Duchess must make answer to the alle- gation on Tuesday next. The case was thereupon continued until that day. Boulevard Cases. Five cages under the ordinance protecting boulevards will come up in the First District Police Court next Friday.

IMPORTING BANDS FOR USE DURING ‘THE WORLD'S FAIR. ¹ * They Are to Flay at the German Villate, a Private Enterprise—Customs Duties om Instruments to Be Also Evaded— Hull's Striking Dockmen—Other Labor Matters. } New York, April 15.—The Musical Mutual Protective Union claims to have discoverea anattemptto evade both the contract labor lawand the payment of lawful duties upon musical instruments. Secretary John Hunt ofthe union stated yesterday that more than one hundred musicians sailedfrom Europe last Saturday inthe Trave of the North- German Lloyd Line and are due here to-day. These men have been engaged in Germany by Karl and Hermann Wolff to play at the German Village in Chicago during the World's Fair. This German Village has no connection with the Fair, but is a sort of side show and a purely private enter- prise. The Wolff brothers represent a syndt- cate of which Henry Villard is said to be the financial backer. Mr. Hunt wrote to Mr. Villard asking ifthis were true and received ananswer simply saying: 1 am not im- ‘porting German musicians,’’ This, Mr. Hunt belleves, is an evasion of his question and he declares that he is rell- ably informed that Mr. Villard is backing the enterprise. Mr. brothers’ advertisement in the German papers calling for musicians six feet high to play in America for 230 marks or $50 per month. He also has the affidavit of Carl Brosche, who came over some time ago in the Aller with Carl Wolk., saying that Mr. Wolff told him that the instruments and uni- forms of these men are not their property but belong to Mr. Wolff and his brother; that as soon as he is through with the men he will sell them in this country. Brosehe adds that Wolff asked him to assist him in selling them. Furthermore Mr. Hunt has received a letter from the Ger- man Minister of War stating in response to inquiries that not only had the Emperor ro- fused to allow any of his soldier musicians to leave Germany, but that he had refused per- mission tothe Wolff brothers to dress their men in uniforms resembling those of the German troops. All these papers were sent to Special Customs Agent Montgomery, who turned them over to Collector Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks was out of town yesterday, but Special Deputy Couch said that the in- struments and uniforms will be seized unless the men swear that they are their own property and the tools of their trade. Mr. Hunt has also seen Immigration Commissioner Senner on the matter. Dr, Senner will have these men examined when they arrive by musical experts, and if they come underthe category of artists they will be admitted. If the experts decide that they are merely mechanics they will be returned as contract laborers. Mr. Uunt claims that these men cannot even read music. In refer- ence to Mr. Henry Villard’s connection with the scheme Mr. Hunt said that Mr. Villard med intended that these impported bands shouid furnish the music at the Columbus celebration ball, but the union made soa strong a protest that the contract s given to home musicians. HULL’S STRIKING DOCKMEN. — — — A GIGANTIC SYMPATHETIC STRIKE MAY BE IN- AUGURATED. LONDON, April 15.—I!n response to the ap- peals issued by the Dock Laborers’ Hull a meeting of seventy-six representa- tives of dock laborers’ and other unions whose members are employed in the ship- ping trade was held in this city to-day. The unions represented are all in London. After considerable discussion the delegates agreed to inaugurate a general strike at all the ports in the United Kingdom on Monday. It is ex- tremely doubtful, however, that the decision | will be executed unless it is especially con- firmed by the unions themselves in London and elsewhere. The action taken to-day ap- pears to be only a menace to assist the strik- ers at Hull to effect a settlement of their dis- pute with the Shipping Federation. The striking dock laborers at Hull recetved another blow atthe hands of the Shipping Federation to-day filled and filled satisfactorily by non-union men, they made overtures to the masters for a settlement ot the trouble. The einployers to-day announced that they had rejected the proposals. The strikers, except in insolated cases, refuse to return to work on the mas- ters’ terms. DISCHARGED THE PRISONER. Lonpow, April 15.—Ben Tillett, the well- known labor leader, who was charged at the Old Batley with having incited strikers to riot in Bristol in December last, was found guilty to-day by the jury sitting inthe case. The jury added, however, that, though the risoner was guilty of using words calcu- ated to cause a riot, it was belleved the words were spoken on the spur of the mo- ment and were not intended to provokea breach of the peace. Justice Cave said that the rider to the verdict Was tantamount toa declaration that the prisoner was not guilty as charged. He, therefore, considered it his duty to discharge the prisoner. This decis- ion was greeted with cheers by Tillett’s friends, many of whom were in the court- room. The demonstration was promptiy suppressed. SHORE ENGINEERS ARE OUT. April 16.— The Lake Shore Rallroad Co. has Gecided not to re- instate the engineers who quit work a Toledo. The Board of Adjustment of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers helda consultation with General Superintendent Caniff yesterday and asked that the men who left the company’s service be reinstated, In his reply to-day the General superintendent said he did not wish it to be understood that the company would refuse to re- employ the men, but simply that they could not be reinstated in their old positions, It is possible that the engineers will carry their case upto President Newell, but it is well known that his viewsin the matter co- incide with those of the general superintend- ent. A prominent member of the board said to- day that there is no poss!billty of a strike on the Lake Shore as a result of io-day’s decis. ion. The conservative and ruling element of the board will oppose further action inf the case on the ground that the men who quit work did soon their lodividual responsibility, AND PATENTS LAKE CLEVELAND, O., — TRADE MARKS Issued to Southwestern Inventors During the Past Week.

In the meantime Dr. Friel, assisted by Dr. Clay- land, was holding an autopsy over the re- mains. Fortwo hours the mourners remained in the kitchen awaiting the result of the autopsy. Dr. Creamer, who thought the case of considerable importance, after mak- ing a partial investigation, impressed on the operating surgeon the necessity of a most careful and thorough autopsy. He remained during the autopsy. The husband and sis- ters of the dead woman appeared to be nervous and waited outside the door, knock- ing now and then toask questions. Crowds stood on the sidewalk watching for the re- sult. It was after 12 o’clock before the abtopsy was finished, andthen Dr. Creamer allowed the body to be buried ona permit, aliexingas thecause of death ‘‘@sthenia, pending inquest.’’ Dr. Creamer said: That permit might have been given, as Woll as any other, for in point of fact we have not discovered any cause for the woman’s death. Weall know that hysteria, which ts given asthe cause of death, never killed anyone. The brain and portions of intestines which have been removed will haveto be chemically analyzed before the cause of death can be ascertained. Yes, I am very much inclinedto believe that there is something suspicious about the case. As faras we can see, the woman was not suffer- ing from any lingering disease.She had a good constitution; was 5 feet 9 inches highand weighed about 180 pounds. She looked like & woman who should have lived to old age. Jam aware of several suspicious circum- stances in connection with the case and pre- fer to talk no more at present.’’ The circumstances in connection with the woman’s death are as follows: Her death eccurred at 6 o0’clock last Wednesday .morn- ing and not until then were her relatives no- tified of nher ness. Her sisters did not even know that she was married. Three days revious to her demise she had been attended Frs. Ernest, Corbett and Foley of the Church ofthe Annunciation, Sincethat time the ministers ofthe church had not been at the house. When she died there were at her bedside her husband and Miss Curley, who is said to be an intimate friend of Mrs. Phillips. She complained of painsio the stomach and was constantly vomiting. She was attended by Dr. Fuchs and Dr. Gretner. These names appeer on the certificate of death filed with e Board of Health. Mrs. Phillips, previous to her marriage, was the widow of the late Dr. Sweeny, who was at one time a prominent Brooklyn clan and a member of the Board of ucation. When he died he left an estate ly estimated at from $50,000 to $75,000. When the will was offered for probate a sen- sation was caused by the r ofa young woman, Miss Phobe Jenkins, who claimed to be the daughter of the doctor by former wife. It was alleged at the time to @ case of bigamy.

New Tonk, Apru 15.—Fairview avenue, near the boulevard, at Rockaway Beach, was the scene of a demonstration by 100 | ' angry Italians Which bordered on a riot yes- terday.

THE SANTA FE STRIKE. DECLINATION OF THE COMPANY'S OVERTURES BY THE LA JUNTA STRIKERS. La Junta, Colo., April 15.—Very few of the men striking on the Santa Fe have called for ) their checks, which were ready for them yes- terday. A bulletin was issued this morning by Mas- ter Mechanic Conroe, stating that applica- tions for reinstatement would be received up to 1:30 o’clock to-day, after which none of the old men would be taken back. to that hour and not as an organization. None have yet applied. It is rumored, with apparent —r— * thatthe company will bring a car load o new men from Denver to-night to take the places of the strikers. No trouble is antici- ted, but the Sheriff is quietly swearing in Wenty-five deputies to protect the new- comers should violence be attempted. The 8 are idle, save for the guards, who patrol them daily and nightly. A MENACE TO STEAMSHIP TRAFFIC. New York, April 15.—The strike of fremen in Hamburg is becoming a menace to the transatlantic steamship lines. The steamer Augusta Victoria, from Hamburg April 6and Southampton April 7, arrived at the barearly this morning. Her commander, Capt. Barends, reports that the engineer had great trouble in keeping up steam on account of the green men they were forced to ship as fremen. It is feared that this state of things is growing worse dally.

New Yor«, April 15.—Ata conference held late this afternoon between the agents of the locked-out cutters and the Federation at 11 CHaton place, Secretary White of the union announced thatthe Federation had decided to support the cutters and make the gut a national one. He said that unless the manu- facturers would agree to take their locked- out men backina body, all negotiations of peace would be declared off and the fight would be continued more bitterly than ever. A HURRICANE FIGHTER. MoHugh Proved an Easy Mark for Solly Smith. Cnicaco, III., April 15.—It is probably a lucky thing for Frankie McHugh that the po- lice interfered atthe end ofthe third round in his six-round go with Solly Smith, at the 24 Regiment Armory. The Californian did not have an opportunity to show the 1,000 people present what he could do at any part of the contest. McHugh landed but two good blows and they had little ornoeffect. He repeatedly dropped to his knees to avoid Smith’s vicious rushes, and would not accept the chances of a counter when he had an opening. In the third round Smith rushed his man twice, the last time landing his ieft and right on McHugh’s jaw, Knocking him down. McHugh was very weak when he got up, just at the call oftime, and it was plainly evident The com pany will treat with them as individuals up | ‘1120 and 1122 OLI\ FURNITURE, CARPETS STOVES AND HOUSEHOLD GOODS On EAS Y TIME PAY MENTS 3 Rooms Furnished Complete for $74.00. | 2 Rooms Furnished Complete for $47.00 Special Inducements to Parties Starting Housekeeping.

He Claims Brennan Threatened to Injure His Credit—Letters the Olerk Is Ao- cused of Writing and Damaging Ad missions He Is Alleged to Have Made —Genera!l Police News. Lee Myers, President of the Enterprise Shoe Co., 616 Franklin avenue, whicb recently ade an assignment, yesterday secured the arrest of Bart Brennan, a former clerk of his, on a charge of attempted Diackmal). According to his story. as told to Assistant Prosecuting Attcrney Estep, Brennan was discharged from the comrany’sempicy some time ago for drunkenness. Son after being discharged it is claimed he commenced to send letters to Mr. Myers, in wiic he threatened to injure the credit of the firm with the wholesale houses with whom they did business, unless the sum of $500 was sent him as the price of his silence. Mr. Myers professes to have a number of letters written in this tenor. Owing to a fear that this threat would be that he could not last through another round, but the authorities came to the rescue and pronounced the fighting too severe, For the remaining three rounds the fighting, except a few strong rushes in the last by Smith, which McHugh avoided by going to his knees, was tame. Smith did not show to beaclever man. He is a hurricane fighter and swings both hands with force. /cHughis as clever, but seems to have no hitting ability. ITALIAN CAVALRY BALL. A Large and Picturesque Gathering at Liederkranz Hall Last Night. The first annual ball of the Italian-Ameri- can Cavalry Company was given at Liederkranz Hall last night, and was a success in every sense of the term. The beautiful costumes of the lovely Italian women, fresh with the bloom of sunny Italy, the brilliant uniforms ofthe cavaliers andthe handsome decora- tions of the hall, were all that the most fastidious could wish for. The cavalrymen whose attractive uniforms have become so familiar to St. Louisans were particularly becoming to the ballroom. Their Confed- erate-gray flanked with yellow double braid and clanking swords, their natty blue lackets. set off by Silver chain straps and silver epaulets, topped with yellow collars, combined to make the cavalrymen the beaux of the even- ing. The walls of the ball-foom were covered with red, white and green bunting and American bunting. A Frobably Fatal Fall. New York, April 15.—Charles: Francis Coyle, 9 years of age, fell off the Palisade, near Capt. Annett’s place, yesterday at 8 p. m. Thirty feet down the cliff his fall was broken by a ledge. He clung to a small tree until his strength gave way and then nme dropped and rolled more than 100 feet fur- ther. He was finally stopped by some under- brush growing on the edge of the bluff. Two men climbed down and carried the injured boy to his nome in the village. The little fellow was attended by physicians and then removed to the Englewood Hospital. His recovery is doubtful.

Deputy Sheriff Grenner ar- rested Brennan atthecorner of Sixth and Washington avenue. MYERS’ STATEMENT A PostT-DIsPATCH reporter visited Mr. Myers at his home 1910 Cora Place ard found him in ved thoroughly fatigued with his day’s efforts and with the mental strain un- der which he has been laboring. He arose and willingly consented to an interview. Jam glad to give the facts in this case to the public., said Mr. Myers, not only that a wrong may be partially righted, but that my example may serve as a warning to other merchants who may some time be similarly situated. I am to-night aruined man, not havinga dollar in the world, with an invalid wife and a little family of children to support in my old age, with nowork and no prospects— all through the villainy of this man whom I have befriended to the extent of having once saved him from prosecution, and once prevented him from committing suicide at the imminent peril of my own life. I may as well tell you the tale from the beginning and you will better un- derstand the entire affair. I have been in business in St. Louis for ten years or more and for more than five years have been manager of the Enterprise Shoe Co. This man, Bartholomew Brennan, or as we always called him, Harry Brennan, has worked for me, off and on, for two years, I say off and on because he would often go on sprees and neglect business for a week ortwoatatime. I bore with all this for when sober he was a quiet man and one of the best salesmen I ever had, About six months ago he forged a check and passed it on a saloon-Keeper on the corner of Olive street and Channing avenue, a tenant of Brennan’s uncle, who is quite a wealthy man. He was in danger of tue penitentiary at the time and I went to his uncle and asked him to interfere an d save him. This, the uncle declined to do, saying the young man was 28 years of age and knew his own business. I then said to him: ‘You are a member ofa Christian Church and I a Jew, but I am willing m to do this to save disgrace from your family and through pity for Harry, whom Il consider good at heart when sober. You advance the necessary $50to save your nephew, andl will deduct $5 per week from his salary until you are fully repaid. He agreed to this and the prosecution was withdrawn. DISCHARGED BRENNAN. Last February I could put up with his drunken habits no longer and discharged him; however, I kept him ‘Fair Shoe Co. was opened, and he secured a sition with that firm. Immedalately after I discharged him he began to write letters to houses with which our cor- ration dealt in the East and told them that was doing no dusiness and cont emplating failure; that was going to dispose of my s unlawfully to their detriment, bop- ing in this way to impair my credit. So m uch did this work of Brennan's affect us that these firms ceesed to have confidence in us. To illustrate this: I bought from the firm of Wise & Co. $1,100 worth of goods at one time, and they shipped me only $3800 worth. Then, before the limit of time was nearly expired, their attorneys, Boogher & Taylor, called on us to pay the bill, offering the unusual discount of 10 per cent for cash. Another shipment to us was stopped in East St. Louis while en route, and we did not know the rea- The Eastern houses did not inform us that ourcredit was impaired and we could not account for their action, being in entire ignorance of Brennan’s active exertions to our detriment.

WANTED, $500. APRIL 44 Mr. L. Myers: DEAR SIR AND FRISND—Having full knowledge of your business and the way you intend carrying out your plans of disposing of your goods, iam fully aware of the metnod that you are about to pur- sue. 60 you Can see that Iam fully aware of what is goingon. Now, if my secrecy is of any value to you, which I suppose it is, thinking that the above is worth something ofa consideration. Nothing short ot 3500. I remain, You Know. On April 6 I received another of similar tenor and went with them to my lawyer. He advised me to get some friend who knew Brennan totakethetwo letters and go to him and ask him what would bethe lowest consideration he would accept. Accordingly I got Mr. Charles Becker of the firm of Becker Bros., cigar manufacturers on Sixth street, between organ street and Franklin ave- nue, to meet brennan. He met him in Frank Nagei’s saloon and asked him if he would not take less than the amount, $500, show- ing him this sum in the let- ter I had first received. He said he mnst have that amount. Charley Becker then sald: ‘Don’t you know, Harry, you are getting yourself into trouble—that these let- ters could send you to the Penitentiary?’ Brennan snatched the letters from Becker, tore them up and threw them into a/spittoon. Becker came back and reported and we went back to Mr. Nagel’s together and I picked the pieces out and pasted them together. These two letters were written in ink. I called a meeting of the directors and it was decided to make an as- signment for the benefit of all the creditors, as, after these revelations of Brennan’s methods, it was feared that some of our Eastern creditors might otherwise make re- plevins of part of the stock. This reason was spread on our minutes. A SECOND’ LETTER. On the 6th, at 1 p. m., Ireceived the fol- lowing: THOS LINDELL, April 6, 83. Mr. L.

Mr. L.—If you do not attend to this matter before 6:30 you will be the loser, as at present I have in my possession telegrams from the Kast that you would not like to see. Now make thisa formal ania satisfactory meeting as I Know parties thatare only too willing to close in thisshortorder. Von's fail to confer. No longer. LINDELL No. 630. ‘-After thisI went tothe Lindell and met Brennan. I said to him, ‘Harry, don’t you know you are leaving yourself liable to the penitentiary?’ He answered, extending his hand, It's money i want; I must co to Call- fornia.’ I said: ‘You will get no money from me.’ He then left. Jam totally ruined by his actions and too old todo hard work. Ihave roamed around town looking for work, but the merchants laugh at me and say: ‘You do not want work,’ intimating that Iquit with money ahead, but I have not adollar, and must support my family.’’ Mr. Myers shed tears In view of his tribula- tions, and with such words of consolation as he could give, the reporter withdrew. Charged With Picking Pockets. While passing down Franklin avenue, be- tween Seventh and Eignth streets, about 6:30 o’clock yesterday evening, Chief of Detec- tives Desmond came upon three young men who were attempting to pick pockets, the avenue being crowded with shop girls and others returning from work, many of whom had their week’s wages in their pockets. Chief Desmond caught one of the young men, the other two escaping in the crowd, ‘the young man arrested gave his name as Oscar Cardial, He is about 18 or 19 years old. Beaten Into Submission. A warrant was sworn out yesterday against Louis Rosenfeldt, a butcher of East St. Louis’ on a charge of wife abandon- ment. Two deputy sheriffs were entrusted with the warrant and only succeeded in serving it after they bad beaten Rosenfeldt into submission with the butt end of a revolver. He was locked up at the Fifth District Police Station, and after he had been incarcerated fora few moments a number of his friends visited the station and raised quite alittle disturbance in an attempt to secure his release. He was sub- sequently given his freedom upon bond, Baker’s Fight. Fred Cook and Theodore Sanders, two bakers, were locked up by the police of the Third District last night on cross charges of disturbing the peace. Cook, who was foreman of a bakery in which Sanders worked, had some business difficulty with him several days ago and last night when they metthe trouble was renewed, A fight ensued and both men were considerably beaten up before they were separated. Cherges Against His Clerk.

Osborn, Populist Secretary of State, made sensational charges to-day against Wm. Higgins, his Republican predecessor; Ex-Gov. Humphrey and Cyrus Leland, Jr., Collector of Internal Revenue. In an interview, he said: Cy, Leland had for years been supplying Dont phan County with coal fromthe State Peni- teniary mines. This coal was billed to him as slack at $2or$3a car, just enough to pay for the loading of it, and he in turn sold t to Doniphan County for first class coal.

It was brought herein car lots, and never cost them a cent. Any number of houses have been built in Leavenworth of material taken from the Penitentiary, and convicts did most of the work yet the State never received one cent compensation for any of this. The records of the institution show that for eurs all the coal mined by theconvicts has en mined on coal ground owned by the Santa Fe Rallroad and the railroad has received a royalty on every bushel mined, which has been paid over to the company every three months. The State has just as ood coal grounds of its own, but the Santa o had to be taken care of. SBAVED BY TROOPS. Matt Bitson, a Wisconsin Wife Murderer, Still in Custody Under Guard. CLINTON JUNCTION, Wis., April 15.—Matt Bitson, the murderer of his wife and Mrs. Arthur Hearn, was captured to-day atthe residence of John Carl, about two miles from this village. He came in to get warm, and was recognized and the alarm given, On seeing a crowd gathering, Bitson shot himself below the eye. The wound is serious, but may not be mortal. A mob soon gathered after it became known who the prisoner was and an attempt was made tolynch Bitson. The Sheriff wired the Governor for aid and the troop of State Guards was sent here to protect the prisoner. The Governor’s Guard, State troops, ar- rived late this evening, just as a mob was collecting with the inten- tion of lynching Murderer Bitson. The prisoner was taken from the jail by the troops and conveyed y train toe Barboo, where he will be confined under military protection. DON’T NEED TO BE RECONCILED.. Wm. O.

Whitney had said what he is reported to have said to Mr. Bleistein, I surely would have been informed of the matter. As to Mr. Bleistein acting as a mes senger for Mr. Cleveland, the ment is absolutely nonsense, Mr. stein went to Jekyl Island some weeks ago for a rest, and while there Mr. Whitney incidentaily called on him and they spenta few moments in conversation ofthe most ordinary character.

CHARGED WITH THEFT.——CNarles Vaughan, colored. was arrested at 6:30 p. m. yesterday en a charge of stealing 9 of pants from the house of Mrs. Sarah Howard, also colored, at 727 North Eleventh street on April 3. PEACE REI GNA. Charges Arainst H. A. Anderson With- drawn and the Suits to Be Dismissed. The Board of Officers of the Missouri Di- vision of the League of American Wheelmen met last night in the rear room of the saloon, 2656 Lafayette avenue, to try Mr. H. A. Anderson for conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a wheelman with a view to either exonerating him or expelling him from the League. The members of the Board present were Rob Holm, Chief Consul of St. Louis, presiding; Edgar Barnes, Mexico, Mo., secretary and Treas- urer; „ J. Gilbert, St. Louis; Geo. M. Wilder, St. Louis; W. P. Lang, St. Louis; Dr. J. H. Kennerly St. Louis; A. J. Emery, St. Louls; A. OC. Davis, St. Louls, and N. Brewster, St. Joseph. It was almost midnight when the Anderson case was reached, after he and his attorney John H. Boogher had been compelled to wait in the saloon for over three hours. The board got all tangled up over a ques- tion of who was entitled to seats in the Board. A new change having been made in the basis of representation and the rights of Messrs. H. A. Canfield and J. R. Bettis to seats were questioned. The matter was finally held in suspenston for reference to the Rights and Privileges Committee. hen Mr. Anderson and Mr. Boogher were permitted to enter the star chamber. Mr. A. C. Davis, the Chairman ofthe Po- litical Committee, presented the charges against Mr. Anderson, the preamble of which read as follows: »The undersigned do hereby prefer charges to you against H. G. Anderson and demand his expulsion from the League, and for grounds thereof state.’’ Then they went on to state a mass of charges so called. The main offense seemed to be that he had expressed his views through the papers, as to the conduct ofthe Politics Committee on the matter of James Bannerman’s letter and their support of Mayor Walbridge. Mr. N. C. Davis seemed especially offended and lost his temper several times. Mr. Boogher claimed that the board did not have the authority to expel Mr. Anderson from the L. A. W., as their jurisdiction extended only to State affairs. This was practically admitted but upon the suggestion of Mr. Davis, it was decided totry him anyhow and decide upon the penalty in executive session. Mr. Davis described Mr. Boogher’s argument as mere balderdash and a petty play upon words, Then Mr. Boogher said that he did not propose to be bulldozed and had hoped the matter would be conducted in a gentlemanly man- ner. Mr, Davis calmed his excitement some what, and there followed a free lance sort of argument, which ranged over a very wide field. Mr. Boogher, while he denied the jurisdiction of the board, remained and answered the charges as well as he could. At this point Mr. Anderson filed the follow- ing statement: It has been charged that 1 stated in the public le Bann press that the tter of Mr. or- man to Campaign ttee of the L. 0 0 had en suppressed. I did state 80. dut h no in- tention of charging that the Committee hed wrengfully acted or of reflecting apen tne L.

PLEASURES AT FORTRESS MONROK, Balls, Entertainments, Visitings and Row- ing Matches, FORTRESS Monroe, Va., April 15.—Out in the roads there are a dozen white ships and two Diack ones. The white ships have had new paint put on their sides recently and shine splendidly. The crowd is just begin- ning to come. Next week it will be dificult to move and almost impossible to get any- thing to eat. So far the Russians are the only foreigners here, and they are having a good time, but no better time than the’ navy officers of our own service. Secre- tary Herbert intends to break out dur- ing the coming week in a big dinner on the Dolphin. This will be in honor of the principal officers of the foreign ships. In the meantime the officers are doing their very best to be agreeable to the young ladies at the Hygela, to the statesmen who have come down to grace the entertainment with — — Presence and to the for- 0 a n Monday an English vice- Admiral, H kins, is expected, and so many guns will firedin his honor that the walters at the Hygela cannot hear the orders of the loudest- voiced soldier at the post. Then his officers will come ashore and tell the giris at the Hygela that Hopkins has more rank than Rear-Admiral Gherardi, and that the American cannot really command the inter- national fleet, but must beg the Vice-Ad- miral, Hopkins, to follow the programme, a cargo of seed gt Bay. The total loss is fetes and of 8, including the grand dall at Norfolk, and smaller entertainments and visitings.

Oma, III., April 15.—The markets were generally weak at lower prices. In wheat the clique found it impossible to dispose of any May, and no one else being inclined to sell it, it was comparatively neglected. It closed at a decline since yesterday of uc per bu. July was very weak. Clique brokers were free sellers of it and were also supposed to nave disposed of a good deal besides through other houses. Their sales for the of July wheat it is supposed might reach as high as 8,000,000 bu. The close was at 2c decline as compared with final prices of the Gay before. Corn was dull but steady at vir- tually unchanged prices. Provisions ruled dull and weak and closed ata moderate decline. There is a strong and ortul element in the market favorable to he bear side of wheat. m, Linn and Wright are among its most prominent advo- cates. The opinion of Pardridge, who is con- sidered mentally incapable of seeing any but the bear side of the wheat market, counts for nothing with the crowd in comparison with the others here named, aith: ugh he trades millions in comparison with their hundreds of thousands. Linn, Ream and Wright sold July wheat aggressively to-day and it became exceedingly weak. Itdroppe dually to 75%c and, after recovering again 75%c, it became still weaker and went down witha bump to 74%c. May was com- tively steady between 78% and 89\c. he market increased in weakness as the session progressed, and it was in its limpest condition asthe bell announced 12 o'clock and closing time. Closing ee were 784ac for May and 74% @74%c for July. The corn market was very narrow and er. It gave evidence of a desire of the many heavy local shorts to cover their lines just as they have been doing for some Trade was dull and offerings light, however, butthe latter were readily taken and the price yielded very little to the weak- ness in wheat. The latest trading was at Wc for May, and 42% @42%c for July. There was nothing particularly interesting in the oats market. A fair business was done at 1 lower prices. The greater part of the rading was of a scalping nature, although afair number of orders were re- ceived from the outside. May opened 1160 higher than yesterday’s close at 28%c, sold Gown to uc, back again to 28%c and closed at 284@28%c, a net loss of \c since the closing price yesterday. The provision market was weak. Prices opened lower than they closed yesterday and Wound up lower still. Business was rather light, receipts of hogs were only 9, 000, but the arket was quoted easter. Hately gave the lard market a little support. Cudahy & Co., were credited with some buying of pork through Sam Dunham and some ribs through Capt. Taylor. Compared with yesterday’s Closing prices, May pork is 27% lower; lard is from 10c to 124%ec lower and ribs from 7isc to Ic lower. Wonderful Progress in Dentistry. Dentists’ signs and advertisements attract the attention of many passing up and down Olive street, but one advertisement attracts more attention than others, that being the ) Shelp Dental Go., 612 Olive street, who have persistently placed before the public eye the sign Bridge and Crown Work. The roa der on entering this establishment will be « t agreeably surprised to und that it is very much out of the ordinary, and that every- thing is in keeping with the high reputation attainea by this concern. The door is opened py a colored maid in white cap and apron, and the visitor shown intoa reception room elegantly fitted in gold and white, the floor covered with costly velvet carpets, the walls adorned with costly paintings and handsome mirrors, bric-a-brac ornaments and botani- cal plants in every corner of the palatial room. Their bridge and crown work is beyond doubt the finest in existence. That they have made a success of this work is evident by the amount they do.

THE PASTOR'S OPPOSITION TO CHURCH SUPPERS THE CAUSE. The Young Lady Members Gave a Straw- berry Festival at the Church and the Pastor, Dr. Todd, Denounced the Affair —That and Other Things Muy Lead to His Resignation—Religious News. New Ton, April 15.—The Presbyterian Churck is the finest building in Bellmore, Long Island. The pastoris J. A. Todd. Just now he has two pronounced friends In the con- gregation and many opponents. The Church on April 1, 1892, called him to preach for six months. At the expiration of that time the congregation agreed to keep him until Aprili of this year. He got along fairly well until last July. The cause of the trouble was a strawberry festi- val. There is a Good Templar Society in Bellmore and almost all the younger folks are members of it. The young ladies who were especially active in getting the festival under way were Misses Annie Smith, Sadie Clark and Libby Hunt, three of Bellmore’s prettiest girls and mem- bers of the foremost families of the town. In order to insure against disap pointment on account of the weather, Miss Smith suggested that they announce that if rain interfered on the date set the festival would be held on the following night. This suggestion was adopt- ed and the tollowing Thursday night was fixed as the evening for the festival. Mr. Todd was asked to read the notice to the con- gregation. He refused to do so. One of the trustees told him he must. He then reluctantly acquiesced. It stormed on the Thursday night, and the festival was held on Friday night, and although the festi- val did not really begin until after prayer meeting the members of the church who at- tended prayer meeting brought the news that Sundays sermon would be interesting. It is said that Mr. Todd did not attend the festival. Thechurch was crowded on the following Sunday. One ot the audience said yesterday that Mr. Todd handled the young folks without gloves. All the condemnatory phrases in the Bible seemed to have been grouped together by Mr. Todd, who hurled them at the congre- gation. As the year passed the disaffection grew. Mr. Todd was aware ofthe antipathy of the members. He wrote and had printed a pamphlet which he circulated among the Presbyterians at Bellmore. The title of this track 16s His Body. Its subheads are in the form of two questions. One is, IS Jesus the son of God?“ The other, 2 just beneath it, reads: Is He in s Bellmore Presbyterian Ohurch?’’ The pamphiet contained much gocd talk but many members felt that, considering all the circumstances, it was pretty direct and rsonal. On Dec. 5 he wrote three letters to hree members of his congregation, the Misses Smith} Clark and Hunt, the same who got up the festival last July. Misses Clark and Hunt were then teachers in the Sunday-school and Miss Smith was the church organist. About the same time Mr. Todd wrote two letters to male members of his congregation. They are said to contain strong metaphors which by some would be regarded as indelicate. One was such that the father of the girl who received it took charge of tat once. The other was much like. The third seems to be merely a very earnest Christian appeal which in ordinary circumstances would not provoke anger whatever ther sentiments it might giver to. When these letters came out, or when two of them came out, they created some com- motion, Mr. Todd followed them up witha letter to Mrs. Nancy McFarlane, which Mrs. McFarlane’s niece says accuses her of going from house to house influencing the best members of the church against Mr. Todd. Mrs, McFarlane is 70 years old, very deaf — quite feeble. She did not understand the etter. Then Mr. Todd wrote a public letter and road it from the pulpiton the third Sunday in December, After reading it he placed it in the hands of the congregation, with the request that they all read it. Among the questions said to askedin this letter are the following: Why do you go elsewhere to church? Do I say you cheat, lie or steal? What has the pastor done?’’ Three weeks ago the trustees sent out a eallfora meeting of the congregation last Friday evening after prayer meeting to de- termine whether they should ask Mr. Todd to resigo or not. It was a very stormy night, however, and only ten persons, to er with Kev. Mr. Hutchinson of Freeport, at- tended. Mr. Todd was not presentat the meeting, but he preached as usual on Sun- day.

ATLANTA, Ga., April 15.—A trotting race, with aman who preaches the Gospel as a driver, is not an every-day event. Some weeks agothe Rev. Mr. Smith came from Dublin, Ga. While in Dublin he preached the gospel. He brought with him, in addi- tion to a bank account, a roadster of unpre- tentious appearance. It was not long before Smith began talking of the powers of his horse. Atlanta has many owners of fast horses. Some of them heard Ssmith talking about his steed, and yesterday Pedigo, one of the best-known horsemen in the South, approached the man from Dublin, saying: Lou have been talking about that horse of yours. I'll bet you $500 to $250 that he can’t trota mile in 2:50. Well, you know,“ replied the preacher, „that I can’t bet, forI preach. But I'll just tell you that the old ponycan beat 2:50. The owner of the pony was urged to make the bet, Dut he would not. Soon after the entleman who had ~bartered him left, mith went to W. 0. Jones, a well- known liveryman, and giving him $250, asked him to make the bet. The race came off yes- terday afternoon. After the party reached the park Smith asked who was to drive the mare. Why, you, of course. said one of the party. ‘‘ButI’m a church member, replied the preacher. ‘‘That makes no dif- ference,’’ was the reply, ‘‘You will drive her all the same or lose the $250. He at length agreed to drive the mareand asked for the rules. He was told that he could have three starts on the trial. At the word the pony started of and moved along to the quarter pole, where the driver pulled upand came back. ‘‘What did you do that for, asked one of the men as the others laughed. On, that's nothing.“ said Smith. ‘‘I was just warming her up. Woll, that’s one of your starts, he was told. The driver protested, but at length avein, askingif he had two more starts. s was told that he had. and Smith gave the old pony a lead. She went around the track in: Fand as she came in the man he had posted the $500 with saw that theold pony could move. But on the move the mare nad broken two or three times and they claimed that it did not count. „Well, I’ve got another trial, haven’t I?’’ he asked.

A Young Missenrian Dies on a Louisville Hospital Operating Table. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 15.—A. C. Krohn, a student at the Louisville College of Dentistry, died suddenly yesterday morning at the Nor- ton Infirmary, while Dr. Grant was prepar- ing to performa simple surgical operation upon him. Mr. Krohn was a member of the Junior Class at college and ‘boarded at 1822 Preston street. His home was at Linn, Mo., and he had no relatives nearer than that city. He became ill several weeks ago and as his case became more serious he was removed from his boarding house to the Norton In- firmary nearly a week ago. Krohn was considered one of the best stu- dents ofthe Hospital College of Medicine, and the faculties of the two colleges became greatly interested in his case. He was given every attention, butin spite of this the mal- ady with which he was afflicted did not yield to the treatment, and he became gradually weaker. His illness was not of such a char- acter as to lead to a fear of its causing death, but his sufferings were at times intense. After due consideration it was decided to rform a simple operation to ro- leve him. The operation was not con- a dangerous one, and the attending ag expected no difficulty whatever. r. Grant made all necessary preparations, assisted dy other members of the faculty, and was intheact of adminis.- tering an anesthetic when Krohn suddenly ceased to breathe. Every restorative known to the profession was applied, but to no purpose and after nearly an hour’s work the physicians saw that the Case was hopeless. The direct cause of death, the physicians claim, was the failure of the heart to per- form its functions. The natural dread of the operation, coupled with the weak- ness due to long iliness, had rendered the young man's condition more critical than the physicians at first supposed. Before the operation the action of his heart was regular, but a trifle weak, and it isthe opinion ofthe doctors that he would have died when he did, even if they had not attempted the operation. No exam.- ination ofthe heart was made before the chloroform was administered, A telegram announcing the death was sent to the father yesterday, and an answer was received last evening asking that the remains be shipped to Linn, Mo. The re- mains were prepared for shipment and were sent to St. Louis. At the request of the faculty Mr. Turner, a student from Fleming County, accompanied the remains to St. Louise The father of the deceased will take charge of the remains at St. Louis. Dr. D. 8. ynolds said this morning that the case was one of those unaccountable accidents which no one can explain. The joint faculties of the Hos- pital College and Louisville College of Den- tistry have — to the family ofthe deceased a complete explanation of the cir- cumstances attending his death, and ex- pressions of regret at his unexpected demise.

New York, April 15.—The body of a man whowas run over by a milk wagon on the Fulton ferry-boat early Monday morning was identified at the Morgue as that of Wal- ter Jones, a butler employed by John Gibb of 180 Gates avenue. The identification was not considered authentic by Coroner Kene, as the name ‘‘Jones’’ did not correspond with the letter B marked on the dead man’s underclothing. The Coroner’s researches succeeded in unearthing quite a romance. The name of Walter Jones was found to be an allas, the man’s true name being Walter Kevan. For about twelve years he had been living under an assumed name. A dozen years 15 Jones, or Walter Bevan, was em- loyed by a woman who, for reasons best nown to herself, left her home with another servant. The trio assumed aliases. The identity of the women has not been disclosed. Bevan did not choose to reassume his real name, so lived and died as Walter Jones. The inquest will be held on Monday.

An Interesting Astronomical Event Will Occur This Morning. LIGHT FROM THE SUN WILL BE SHUT OFF FOR NEARLY FIVE MIAUTES. The Ectipse Will Not Be Visible in the Northern Hemisphere, But Numerous Parties of Astronomers in South America and Africa Will Make Ob- servations. The sun will be totally eclipsed thig morn- ing, and if the astronomers have good weather the occasion islikely tobe historic in astronomie annals. This eclipse will pot be visible in North America. The line or path of the total eclipse begins at 6:53 a. m., St. Louis time, ata point in lat. 36 deg. 29 min. south, and long. 95 deg., 50 min. west of Greenwich—being in the South Pacific Ocean. The course is northeasterly, and the path enters South America at the Sarco Bay in Chill, and now, curving rather more to the northwards, crossé¥ Chill, traverses the Argentine Republic, passing nearly 400 miles north of Cardoba, then togching the corner of Bolivia, it passes directly through Brazil, and reaches the Atlantic at Forteleza, in the Province of Cerea, in latitude 8 deg. 20 min. south, and longitude 88deg. 50 min. west. The shadow track is about one hour in cross- ing the continent. After leaving South America the belt of totality crosses the Atlantic and an hour later it reaches the west coast of Africa near Albreda in Senegambia, in latitude 14 deg, and 15 min. north, and longitude 16 deg. and s0min. west. Then moving nearly due east itskirts the southern dorder of the Sahara desert, and finally terminates at a point some 2,500 miles in the interior on the western side of Nubia. Two or three circumstances combine to give the eclipse great importance: The duration of totality is unusually long, being, where greatest, noless.than 4% min. The greatest duration of total solar eclipse that has ever been observed was that of May 6, 1883, when darkness lasted 5 min. 55 sec., but this was very extraordinary. The eclipse of 1888 belongs to a series in which the duration of totality is in- creasing so that, as Prof. Newcomb states, the recurrences in 1965 and 1973 will be characterized by a totality longer than has occurred for a thousand years. The dura- tion of the total phase of the eclipse of April 16 will be much longer than has occurred or will occur, for several years. Of course, the longer the time the more astronomers will be able to discover in the crowded moments of the exciting phenomenon. Much of the track is over land, and this allows of observations at points far sepa- rated from each other. In 1871 the corona was photographed from points in India and Java, 2,000 miles apart. In the eclipse in question, observers in Chill and in Africa would be separated by intervals of over two hours—during which periods it is thought very likely changes in the appearance of the sun’s corona may de detected, either visually or photographically, and some light thrown upon the composition of that mysterious ap. pendage of our luminary. By far the best point to observe this eclip it leaves Brazil for i sweep across the Atlantic. To- at lih., m. and 518. se ts seconds. Ihe sun is on the meridian and is nearly overhead. The eclipse will be ob- served in this neighborhood by a British ex- pedition very strongly equipped. A Bra- zilian party will also observe. In Chili Schaeberle will observe it. The Chilian Government will have a party in the shadow zone and the Harvard College station in Peru has fitted outan expedition. In this region the totality is considerably shorter than on the Atlantic coast, but fine weather is almost a certainty and good re- sults seem almost assured. Onthe African coast totality lasts four minutes and twelve seconds and occurs at about 2:20 p. m. local time. British and French parties will be stationed in this neighborhood. : 72 pat 4 8 Sun Flames, Seen During an Eclipse. During totally stars will be séen, and astronomers may reckon on detecting Sirius, Rigel, Betelguese, Capella, Procyon and Aldebaran. Of the planets Jupiter and Venus will be detected, and Mercury ought to be seen. A TELESCOPE FOR sr. LOUIS. When Prof. Barnard, the Lick astronomer, was in St. Louls he took occasion, in . quiet way, to interest some of our rich men in the endowment of a great astronomical observatory at St. Louis. Itis thought that he made an impression that will soon materialize ina movement in that direction. Prof. Asaph Hall, the discoverer of the moons of Mars, is expected to visit St. Louis in May, and it is presumed that he will reinforce the agitation. Prof. Barnard thought it very hard that Prof, Pritchett, whois, he said, one of the best practical Observers in the country, should have to work with such a little pop- un telescope as that owned by Washington Sniversity, Itis an excellent instrument, but it is only a six-inch objective, being just the size of the little ‘‘finder,’’ employed to direct the vision of the big thirty-six- inch Lick telescope on Mount Hamiliton, It is not Prof. Barnard’s idea that St. Louls ought to start out with the inflated Chicago idea of having the biggest telescope on earth, but he holds that the city is far behind the times in not having an astronomical observatory worthy of a great and growing town; and he would supply Prof, Pritchett witha telescope of 20 to 2% inches aperture, and with such a glass the name of St. Louis would be written imper- ishably on the stars. The mere cost of such a telescope is not extraordinarily large, and it is understood that the authorities of Washington Univer- sity have had intimations that the money might without much difficulty be obtained for that purpose; but the mounting of the giass and its erection in a suitable observatory, and the proper equipment and maintenance of the institution, calls for a large amount of money, and the university bas not — felt like grappling with the scheme.

Chief Lindsay Makes Public the List of Mayor Noonen’s Appointees The thirty new men who were appointed by Mayor Noonan before he left the City Hall, and whose names Chief Lindsay would not divulge, are now known, the fire chief giv- ing out the list yesterday afternoon. The men are as follows: Theodore J. Wolff, Frederick W. Ebmeyer, Thomas Finnegan, Hugh C. Maroney, Jacob Churchill, Edward McCarty, Charles 8. McDonough, Patrick W. Stack, "John Mulroy, Lake McFarland, Geo. Kyler, Jr., Christupher Hosty, Albert House, Adolph Hunt, James J. Hade, J. I. Collier, W. G Pawzer, R,. O’ Neill, P. k. McDonald, F. G. Reimler, Patrick Barden, James P. Dwyer, John F. Belrose, Luke McConn, Wm. Roche, Martin Tiernan, James Wren, Wm. J. Pilgrim, P. Buttermore and James Smith. There are just thirty of them. They will be notified by mail to report for duty as soon as the new engine-houses are completed and the new companies are Organized, The en- gine-houses in course of erection are No. 30, located at Cabanne near Vernon avenue; No. 81, at Kossuth and Warne avenues; No. 32, at Washington avenue and Twentieth street. The latter house is for an engine and hose cart hook and ladder company and chémical engine fuel wagon. These houses will be completed atanearly day. Dr. W n G. Priest of the City Dispensary has subjected the new fire- mea to a rigid medical @¢xamination within the last two days. The object in keeping the names secret was, itis claimed, a fear that the men who failed to pass the physical ex- amination would be injured if the fact be- came known. Work-House Lighting. The storm of last Tuesday night revealed a danger to which the Work-house is liable. When the wild and furious winds wrenched off the roof of the male prison-house the gas-pipes were twisted out of shape. At the same time several coal oil lamps ex- ploded and started a ure Which might have destroyed the whole establishment but for the prompt movements ot the attaches. To provide agalnst the rils of coal oll lamp explosions t has deen proposed to light the Work-house with electricity. Supervisor of City Lighting A. J. O’ Reilly has received estimates for 106 lights, the amount necessary to eguip the Work- house. The bids are three times the annual expense of gas, because the Work-house is considerably beyond the Umits of the terri- tory supplied by the electric plants. Temporary Appropriation Bill. The Comptroller is preparing the tempor- ary appropriation bill to supply the wants ofthe city departments from April 10, the end of the fiscal year untl the regular appropriation bill is passed. Deputy Comptrolber Gabel said yesterday that the treasury was in a normal condition, although there had been heavy drains made on it. Each department is apportioned money on the basis of about one-fourth the entire amount for the past year. The gen- erat bill could not be passed together with the temporary bill because the President of the Board of Assessors miust first make a re- turn of the assessable values in the city. Charity Commissioners Fail to Meet. A meeting of the Board of Charity Commis sioners was called for yesterday afternoon at 8o’clock m the Council chamber, but ogly Messrs. Pinsand Battle responded and e meeting was postponed. Mr. 8. 8. Bass, chairman of the board, could not be present until 4 o’clock, and Messrs. Jones and Moffitt were outofthecity. Messrs.Pins and Battle volunteered the information that the report which the board is preparing to submit to the Mayor will be full of interest. The board wili probably meet again next Saturday and decide on material for their report. Where ls H. W. Carter? A letter was received at the Mayor’s office yesterday from R. L. Fraser of Woodville, Tex., inqtiring as to the whereabouts of W. H. Carter. Frazer said that Carter left Tyler County, Tex., in 18857 and was last heard of in St. Louis in 1863. Carter’s wife was named Amelia and he had ason named Charles. Frazer states that his father, H. Frazer, had dealings in land with Carter and that it would be tothe benefit of Carter or his fam lly to communicate with him. — = For Selling Impure Milk. Milk Inspector Sullivan yesterday applied to Assistant City Attorney Mulvihill of the Second District Police Court for summonses against the West End Milk Co., at Mills street and Elliott avenue, and H.

NORTH END FREIGHT-HOUSE. The Big Structurs the Wabash Road Has Just Compieted. The new Wabash freight - house Is completed and is one of che most complete and sub- stantial improvements in the way of ship- ping facilities in the railroad district of North St. Louls. It is a two-story brick build ing located on the Levee and extending from Frankiin avenue on the south to Carr street on the north, a total length of 671 feet, and occupying the space between Commercial street on the west and the Levee on the east. The structure was commenced in October last year, but owing to the severity of the winter weather the progress of the work has been delayed. The platforms are laid with granitoid, while the thirty-foot driveway into the build- ing and located on the west side is paved with asphalt. The driveway is intended to be used by the trucks delivering outgoing freight, while the trucks receiving in-bound freight will have their loads delivered to them on the Commefcial street side from the second story of the building, which is on the same grade asthe street on that side of the bullding, the double tracks being located on the east or levee side. The depot is equipped with three hydraulic elevators to carry the freight from the first ta che second fioor, and is also furnished with four large scales. The offices of the agen and clerks will be located on the south end of the second floor withthe entrance from Franklin avenue. It ig nicely finished and heated by hot water, while the entire building is Iighted;by incan- descent and arc electric lights. On the platform at fhe north end of the Duilding, which is aléO paved with asphalt. a large crane has been erected of sufficient power to handle the heavy freight. This building is to be Opened for business to-morrow (Monday) and will be of great value to the shipping interests of this city for the convenient handiing of their ship- ments via the Wabash Koad. ; COMMENCING Monday, April 17, the cele- brated ‘‘Diamond Special,“ as well as all other St, Louis and Chicago trains over the Vandalia & lilinois Central Line will arrive atand depart from the new Central Station, Chicago, located between Twelfth street and Park Row, on the Lake front.

The maining two events were captured by xd - Johnson and Gen. Ross, a pair of second ices, ench of whom closed at 3 to 2, and the whole the books retained by far the yetter portion of the money that was circu- tedinthe ring by the speculators. The gnificent weather brought out an un- ally large crowd. The track was in lendid condition and the finishes in all of |, ihe events were of the bang-up order. The went of the afternoon was the usual jandicap, atone mile. Amboy, Ruben and jen. Ross were scratched, leaving Mackey, td gar Johnson, Acclaim, Lizzie V. and Bern- line to settle the question of superiority. Acclaim and Eagar Johnson were the choice bf the public fromthe start.

Pierce went out with the gray mare, Lizzie V., and phowed the way up the back stretch, with Mackey and Acclaim next, in the order named. Acclaim took command ofthe pro- e cession in the main stretch and soon opened a gap of some two lengths, with Lizzie v. one-half that distance before Mackey. In the back-stretch again Jordan spurted with Acclaim and soon was leading by five open lengths. Kdgar Johnson then commenced to overhaul the mare, moving uprapidly. At the head of the stretch Acclaim was leading by but three lengths. She tired quickly down the stretch, while Edgar Johnson continued to come, andthe result was he won, ridden out, by one-haifa length. A field of nine went to the post in the open- ing event, which was at nine-sixteenths ofa | fi mile. Cannon and Black Beauty were equal favorites at 2 to 1 and s to 2. Minnie Walker was third choice at (to 1. From s to 80 to 1 could be had against the rest. Gen. Hard- ing, Cannon and Outright showed the way arouna into the stretch, closely bunched.

Of the lot the winter has dealt especially well with Confederate, better known as ‘‘the Bettie colt, and Chiswick, both of which have grown and spread out in every way. Mr. T. C. McDowell, the well-known Rev- enue Collector, who has quite a select thoroughbred breeding stud at Ashland, the old nome of Henry Clay, has decided to mate Sudie McNairy (dam of the flying Said Marian) to Onondaga this year. Air. Me- Dowell has also decided to breed Kanawha, the daughter of imp. Mortimer, out of Hin- (loo’s dam, to Lonefellow; Reine d'Or (sister to Chaos, the Futurity winner) to Hanover, and the noted Peg Woffington to Fonso. Mrs. John M. Clay, the widowof the youngest son of the great Commoner, and one of the few lady breeders of race horses in the country, has written and just published aracing romance entitled same Little of the Angel Still Left,’’ which deals with life on the track and in the training quarters. Mr. W. L. Simmons, the great trotting- horse breeder, after two unsuccesssfu! at- tempts has at last, after three years, got his famous Billet mare, Mattie T., with foal, she being due todropa colt to Milton the good son of Onondaga, in a few days. A prominent turfman, who recently paid a Visit to the tratning quarters of the crack 8 year-old, King Lee, while being a great ad- mirer of that great colt, confessed himself as much struck by King Lee’s stable compan- ion, Quiver, who now moves and acts very much like Tulla Blackburn. It is thought by several turfmen at the new Kentucky Association track that the Pat Malloy and Lizzie K. colt, Midwey, owned by the well-known auctioneer, Capt. P. C. Kidda, has an outside chance in the American Derby. The colt started thirteen times last ear, and failed to score a single bracket, stillhis admirers claim that he was sucha big growthy colt that he could not be fitted for his 2-year-old races, and his running last season is nocriterion of his promises now. lle has been backed to the limit in the winter books. WHAT BAGLEY THE JERSEYITE WILL HAVE A GOOD THING IF ELIZABETH IS CLOSED UP. New York, April 15.—The suft of Charles Bagley against the New Jersey Jockey Club for damages for violating the gambling laws is considered by turfites generally an ab- surd piece of business. The laws of the State of New Jersey as they now stand legalize racing, and its necessary evil, betting. The Elizabeth association is violating no law at present. If the laws were declared uncon- stitutionaland the New Jersey Jockey Club continued to race, then such an action might be commeuced with some reason. The fact that the intormer gets halt of the money re- covered in such suits may have suggested to Mr. Bagley an easy chance to make money, If the sult ts lost, it is sald that the Citizens“ League will foot the bills, At present Mr, Baxley basa good thing. His ticket reads $12,500 to nothing. WAS AFTER. WEIGHTS FOR THE INAUGURAL.

What a world of woe has been inclosed within the brick walls of the Female Hos- pital! If they could speak, what a volume those walls could tell of man’s duplicity and woman’s wrongs! Onan average, a child ts born there every twenty-four hours. On some days there are four or five, on others none; but take the year through, day in aad day out, and for every day an infant, as pure as the heavenly Naz- arene, takes its place among the living. And that place is always the place of poverty. Generally it isa heritage ofshame. A large proportion of the children who are brought into the world at the Female Hospital are the offspring of unsolemnized marriages. The fathers are afraid or irresponsible; the mothers and babes must bear the brunt, The hospital is a large red brick building at the intersection of Arsenal street and Sublet avenue, so remotaly removed from the ave- nues of traffic and travel that its pretentious proportions and somewhat imposing tower command little attention. Its own birth was the output of the social evil law. Under the present legal system it has grown to healthy maturity, and there, out of sight of the public, surrounded by spacious grounds, it modestly carries on its life work. The novelist who would spare himself the pains of conjuring up a Steerforth and a little Emily could there ind any day as pa- theticastory. The world is full of Steer- forths, and the Female Hospitalis the tem- porary asylum of their victims. A young girl loves net wisely, but too well. Inspired by her infatuation she resolves to forego all kindred, home and comfort for the object of her affection. He proves recreant to the trust, and at last she is found knocking at the gate of the Female Hospital. Invari- ably she is taken in, and, her hour of travail over, she disappeats_with or without her child, and is lost in the cease- less whirl of vice. Red tape isnot allowed to interfere with the per- formance of charity at this institution. Dr. R. M. Kerley, the superintendent, has a kindly soul and he admits an applicant first andthen attends to formulas.

And so to her who knocks, it shall be opened. It is interesting to observe the difference in the dispositions of these women. Some are already moral outcasts; others havea single sin fipon their souls. Some take up the burden of life with an in- domitable resolve to bear it through to the end. They cling to their offspring with all the tenacity of the true maternal instinct and nothing that earth could offer or Heaven promise could induce them to renounce their devotion. On the other hand there those who complacently listen to an offer of adoption from some childless couple, calmly sign a paper relinquishing the little, helpless human being, don their wraps and leave the place without ever turning for a last look back.

Jones, the son of Gov. T. G. Jones of Alabama, and Miss Callie Stickarey a society belle of Montgomery, Ala., who eloped and got married a few days ago, ar- rived in St. Louis Friday night and registered at Hurst’s Hotel. The news of their presence inthe city got a broad and a Post-DISPATCH reporter sent up his card to their room yesterday morn- ing. Mrs. Jones sent back word that her husband was absent from the hotel on busi- ness. The reporter called an hour later and had a conversation with Mr. Jones. He be- lieved that his elopement was his own busi- ness, that he simply concluded to get mar- ried and deliberately walked off with his sweetheart. They were both of age, and the persons who were dissatisfied with lis marriage to Miss Stickarey could use their own wishes. about satisfying themselves. The elopement of Mr. Jones and Miss Stickarey created a sensation in the South. When the parents of the young lady became aware that the at- tentions paid their daughter by the Gover- nor’s son were serious, they forbade the young people to see each other. Gov. Jones advised his son to forget her, since her parents objected to him. But when the Governor wentto Richmond, Va., to at- tend the convention of Southern governors, his son, \ arshali, wrote a letter to his sweet- heart, urging elopement. She con- sented, and on the evening of the 12th inst., the young couple went to Bir- mingham, Ala., secured a license and were married by an Episcopal clergyman. After the marriage Mr. Jones and his bride came to St. Louis by way of Nashville, Tenn. When Jones arrived at Hurst’s Hotel he did not register himself from the South, but from Evansville, Ind. Last night he and his bride left the hotel supposedly to go to another hostiery, but they did not go to the place they alleged and it is believed that they have left the city.

Ella Lawson, a 13-year-old girl, mystert- ously disappeared from her home at 2327 avenue, about 6 o’clock last even- ing. The child was playing with some com- will tell any inguirer of numerous cases in — he has the agreements and receipts to show. There are other cases where cruel neces- sity drives the woman to thisstep. She has all the love,the yearning and regret of which the human heart is capable, yet the decree of fateisinexorable. She has no money. Her health is impaired so that she cannot work, y z She weeps long and bitterly, holds her child close to her bosom, looks it over a hun mes, its red little I burning kisses upon co, dandles it, cuddles it until the physi- clan and new-found parent are weary of waiting and urge her to act at once if at all. She acknowledges the truth of what they say and starts to do as they tell her, but she is weak. By a sudden impulse she quickly withdraws the child, enfolds it in her arms, mutely swaying to and fro as she suffers the keenest agony of sorrow and despair. At length the infantistaken from her and she is left prostrate and alone. This is the bitter fruit of indiscretion. Dr. Kerley takes great pride in his institu - tion. He says it is the greatest charity the city has. It is nearly always full. Wives of poor men avail themselves of its beneficence and get detter treatment than if they had private medical attention. The doctor is himself, of course, a specialist in obstetrics. He is assisted by a corps of physicians who live on the premises and are alwaysthere to discharge the duties of their ‘position. These are young doctors, whose chief remuneration isthe experience an institution where there is always plenty of work.

Street Commissioner M. J. Murphy, who has given the matter a great deal of thougnt made a very clear explanation of his Views on the subject in his annual report with the President of the Board of Pub- Improvements last week. MAJ. MURPHY’S VIEW. Touching the fear of confiscation of prop- rty belonging to poor men, under the opera- of the new iaw, Maj. ‘\iurphy says in — 11. report: I think the fear is not 1 founded, because there are in the city now legally opened and dedicsted to ic use, 450 miles of unimproved streets . 4 150 miles of unimproved alleys. Fully one-halfof these unimproved streets are in tons of the city where the value of the rty is such as to amply justify the ra of Public Improvements in passing sures for the improvement of these new ts. „By reference tothe annual reports of the t Department since the adoption of the ana Charter it will be seen that if @ average number of streets only are im- abnually it will take a great many L rs to completo those on which prop- 1 would not be injured and whose owners be to no mconvenignceor the construction of these highways. rd of Public Improvements and the 43 partment, no matter what enerxy be ed or force employed, could not voss!i- metruct the adways runoing along h-priced property referred to within i) ears, and there is no reason, of bis class Of streets remain un- why any action should be taken streets the northern or south- of the city where the ess so low that in- the owners by 5 f ruc reconstruction of 7 Streets.

Now, 1 had been sick for some time and the physician advised me to come South, so his advice with the informa- tion given me by the friend caused me to hastily pack up and start for the Missouri metropolis. My courage was stout, my pride strong but my finances very weak. Iarrived here on Sunday evening a week ago, andthe dull, leaden clouds and ever- present smoke did not cheer me greatly upon my arrival. Another thing which had a most saddening effect was being landed in the midst of a lot of cattle sheds, which Iam told is called the Union Depot. If therei anything the deceptive character o first impressions I certainly ought to be a capitalist in time. 1 spent my first Sabbath evening locating the principal business streets. Monday I arose bright and early, and saliled forth to find work. I sought out an acquaintante whom I had met at my old home, and was cordially received by him although he wasa trifie cool when told him I wanted work and must have it once. I was not frank in making the statement as 1 might have been, as I have a deliéacy in letting people know when lam hard up, ana my pride will not permit me to display my poverty toany great extent. However, my acquaintance told me ofa business man who might give me employment,so | called on the arty. He was very pleasant and asked so- ficitously about the weather in Northern Iowa, etc., allof which was very entertain- bat not reassuring. e said he he had nothing for present, but might have in the course of two - three months and would let me know. In the meantime he thought I vould find much to entertain me and then I would be able to learn the city. A very charming picture for a man with only a pittance tn his pocketand a 1 appe- tite. However, pride consoled me by whis- pering ‘never mind, old fellow, they don’t know whether youre rich or poor,“ so I marched along, bound to make the best of it. I started two or three times that day to ask for work in large estab lishments, but my courage oozed an felt that it was too bad to go back on my pride. In the evening I walked into the Southern, and after strolling through the corridors stuck a tooth - plek in my mouth and tried to look healthy, wealthy and nonchalant. I presume it was to help me out in this feeling that a distinguishe individual stepped to the counter and handed the clerk a of dills as dig as a tomato with the reauest that it be put I chewed violently at the tooth- pick and wished—well, that [ hadajob. The next day I counted up my wealth and found that I had just o cents. My situation was growing desperate. I conciuded I didn’t want any breakfast, so turned my attention I A and nto a to looking for that work. tramped, occasionally droppin place and asking in an off-hand way for work, althou my less trembled and my heart thumped. Towards afternoon I passed a restaurant, from which the most seductive, savory odors were issuing. It strack me amidships and, while I dia not not for one instant forget that I had 20 cents,I fain would have entered and ate my fill, but it would never do to biy a 20-cent meal, so on Remembering that 1 or work in p n d that night. I sought out my friend and told him that I had not yet been able to get work, but had sev- eral good promises, and then we talked about the weather, and I finally left without making my destitute circumstances Known. My heart was reaching the gero mark when I spied a sign reading ‘The best hot free lunch inthecity.’ Here wasmy opportunity and entering a saloon [ordered a lass of beer and proceeded to fill up on ‘fred lunch.’ I was afraid the proprietor might think I was eating too much, solordered another glass of beer and proceeded to eat more lunch. As I was golug out of the place a bootblack im- portuned me to have my shoes shined and informed me that they needed it badly. I looked at them and spent my last 10 cents. ‘Well, here's a nice state of affairs,’ I thought, but, lookingat my shoes, sa to myself, ‘Never mind, you bave your shoes shined and may get work to-morrow. The early rt of that evening I visited the various hotels and watched the billiard games, and when midnight came proceeded to walk. I put ona very inde- pendent air, occasionally stopped to talk toa policeman and inform him that it was a nutsance not to have the cars running all nigat, as it forced a fellow to walk home. I don't think I ever fully appreciated a moon- light walk so much before. Prob- ably because 1 never had it sented to me 80 forcibly in my past experiences. Before morning came I would gladly have laid down in the hay loft of the arnsI passed, but then if I did someone might find me andi would be taken for a tramp and arrested. My walk sharpened my appetite wonderfully despite my efforts to keep it in the background and withal 1 was very miserable and wisbed St. Louls or my- self elsewhere. Finally I ot angry at myself and walking into a tag | store begged a drink of water. That drinkof water melted my heartand put to filght my pride. I told the clerk my tale of Wee, and when it was finished he handed mea silver dollar. I re- fused it, but he pressed me so hard that I re- luctantly (?) took it, and with light footsteps sought out a restaurant and ate a square meal. It gave me courage andI plunged in to get a job. Before night I had a temporary ob and muney in my pocket and slept the St sleep of my sojourn inst. Louis. Suffice it to say that 1 think the drink of water was my saivation.’’ NEW TRAIN TO QUINCY.

The World's Fair, the greatest exposition the world ‘has ever seen, will, ma few weeks, throw open its doors to the public, and be ready for the in- spection and criticism of all nations. The enterprise which first conceived the idea of the great Fair, and which carried the mammoth undertaking to a successful con- summation, is intensely American in its character. Its success is a matter of national pride, and as such every true citizen will feel a lively interest init.

The recount of ballots in the Pohlman- Staed shrievalty contest can go on, Judge Harrison having so ordered in a lengthy written opinion yesterday morning. After the court has issued its order on the Recorder of Voters to open,count and certify the ballots cast atthe election last Nov. 8, Sheriff Staed filed a motion to have the order Vacated, aMeging thatthe ballots had been removed from the boxes during the recent April» election and had therefore lost their authenticity. Judge Harrison, whose point of view was directly opposite, construed the several sections of the statute bearing on the case very deliberately. His position virtually was that in the contempla tion of the law under his construction, it was not necessary for the Recorder to keep the Dallots in the same boxes so long as he did not subject them to inspection or leave them liable to be tampered with. He was only re- ulred to safely preserve and keep them and free from inspection unless under order of court in a contested election case. Mr. Staed’s affidavit failed to show that the ballots had at any time passed from the cus- tody of the Recorder or been placed ina position liable to be inspected. The Recorder cannot constantly have the Dallots in sight. He need only exercise that care of and surveillance over them which should reasonably be expected of a faithful officer. Thereisno charge that they have been meddled or tampered with, oreven in- spected. The court says: ‘The mode in which the Dallots shall be kept. that is to say. in the boxes as contemplated in the one section and the package as indicated in the other, I regard as merely directory, and it has been so held. Under the eir- cumstances [ cannot hold that the Recorder has been guilty ofthe violation of law charged against him as the custodian of the balicts. Icannot hold that the keeping of the ballots inthe original boxes is in such cases an essential tothe preservation of the integrity and authenticity of the ballots. To s© hold would bein effect to say that the Recorder, by his act, has defeated the erer - cise of the power which the statute gives the court to order the count, comparison and ex- amination of the ballots and to depgive the contestor ofthe Denefit of the law nacted by the Legislature in obedience to the man- date of the constitution. The motion will be overruled.’’ John B. La Barge confessed judgment to- day in Judge Harrison’s court in favor of R. H. Kern for $10,900. Harris Habeas Corpus Proceedings.

Art Students in Paris Impserscnate the Trinity at a Fall. Paris, April 15.—The French authorities have at last taken embrage at the balls given by the art students at the Moulin Rouge and at the Elysee Montmartre. The truth is that the performances at those entertain- ments far **‘outstripped’’ anything that ever had been seen in Paris before. Even for the City of Light“ the conduct of the participants was light in the extreme. Acting upon the well knawn regulation that the police are never supposed to take any cognizance of what goes on at a private ball, namely one towhich admission is to be obtained by invitation solely, no tickets being sold, the wild young Bohemians constituting the future painters, sculptors and architects of France led the way with an entertainment at which the lady guests were all their female models and who appeared at the affairin the costume in which they were wont to pose totheir hosts. The most beau- tiful woman of this class in Paris, the English girl, Sarah Brown, was led through the rooms by a silken cord around her neck, and was just that much more attired by reason of that cord than were most of the other damsels present. One of the group, mounted on a white donkey, had ona gil crown, from which fell an ample veil in thin red gauze, spangied with gold, enveloping ner from head to foot—‘‘only that and noth- ing more; I say nothing of the rest. There was one group which represented Paradise, the students being all attired as angels, and it was headed, as it marched in procession through the rooms, by the Three Personages of the Trinity, Dieule Pere being particularly no- ticed as a most excellent impersonation. Our Savior, delng gottenup as an exact repro- duction of the Christ before Piliate’’ in the Munkacsy picture, was also considered most successful, but the Saint Esprit, a man wearing a Gevil’s head as a mask and having doves’ wings on his shoulders, was rather a faliure. But with all the impiety and the indecency of the entertainmentI think that the authori- ties would have been content to let it pass unnoticed if only its audacious pro- moters had been content to stop there and to promise never to do so any more. But, emboldened by impunity, a second ball of the same nature was organized and took place at the Elysee. Montmartre, at which all the elements of fun and froiic that had lent a tinge of saving grace to the first one were wholly eliminated, and gave place to scenes of gross and vulgar in- decency. A third ball, this time to de given by the models them selves to the art students, was projected at which it was whispered that the two frst affairs were to be entirely surpassed So far as their worst features were concerned. But law and order, too long outraged, at last stepped in in the persons oftheir appointed guardians, and all the objecflonable ele ments of the affair were entirely eliminated, So serious a matter are these outrages against decency and morality now consid- ered that an appeal for their sup. pression has been brought before the Senate, and it is probable that a stringent law to meet that and similar cases will forth- with be passed.

Prepared by POTTER DRUG & CHEMICAL CORPORATION, Boston. | Al WY — — — 4 RELIC OF SLAVERY. Mr. F. W. Lehman’s View of the Law Authorizing the Sale of Vagrants. HE WILL CARRY THE CASE OF JOE THOMPSON TO THE SUPREME COURT. A Writ of Habeas Corpus to Be Applied For on Behalf of the Mexico Negro—A Smart Constable Rakes Up a Law Which Raises Some Very Important Questions. The habeas corpus case of Joe Thompson, the vagrant negro, who was recently sold under the hammer at Mexico, Mo., will be argued before the Supreme Court at Jeffer- son City in a few days by Frederick W. Leh- mann of this city, counselor for the petition- er. The case was to have come up one next Monday, but was postponed. It is one that has brought down upon Missouri’s de- voted head a great deal of adverse criticism from outside writers not familiar with the @ircumstances which made such a proceed- ing possible in a State which is as free from the customs of the past as any commonwealth in the Union. Mr. Lehmann has prepared his brief. Mr. Lehmann was asked what, ground he would take in his case before the Supreme Court and in reply he said: THOMPSON'S. CONVICTION. „%%% Thompson, a negro, was con- victed of jvagrancy under a Mis- our law which instead of sending found guilty of that offense to jail directs that they be sold for six months at public auction at the Court-house to the highest bidder for cash in hand. same law provides that children found without means of support'be turned over by a Justice of the Peace to the Sheriff to be daund out dy that officer until they become of age. It also decreed that if there was no pur- chaser or anyone who would take the pris- oner for his keep he should receive twenty- fivelashes on the back. The latter clause has been repealed. The law is a very old one, a rolle of the institution of slavery. It was passed as far back as 1815, when Missouri was a Territory, but though slavery has been abolished it re- mains u the statutes. For many and until 1879 it was the only law in dealing with cases of vagrancy, but A law was passed which would to have madeanendof the enactment ante-bellum days. .

Thompson was convicted and brought up for sale. By this time public sentiment had taken 5 and there was a general protest against the law, which was decia a sur- vivor of the slavery conditions of the past. At the instance of many citizens Mr. George Robertson, in order to test the validity of the law, applied for a wri of habeas corpus, it being argued that the enactment had been rendered null and void dy the constitutions of the State and the United States against slavery or in- voluntary servitude. neglected to state that the money taken asthe price for the services ofthe prisoneris under the old law used first to pay his debts. SIMILAR LAWS IN ENGLAND. **Formerly laws like this were more or less common, but there are very few now. There was such a law in England, where a man was sold fortwo years, but that was repealed 800 years ago. In Nova Scotia there was sucha law and in Maine, probably because of its proximity to Nova scotia, they hada law that paupers be let out keep, but been by States since the war, and wherever there are any on the books they are simply overlooked as having been rendered invalid by the consti- tutional amendments resulting from the his- torical struggle. My argument will be that the law of 1879 operates to repeal the old law and that when the institution of slavery went down this ancient statute, passed under conditions which have long since passed away, went down with it. The Thompson case has attracted wide- spread attention, and Mr. Lehmann thinks it will result in the blotting from the statutes of one of the last vestiges of slavery days. A WONDERFUL JAW.

Additional Facts in the Strange History of William B. Weed. Nonwark, Conn., April 15.—Queer old Wil- liam B. Weed has been removed from his miserable shanty near Norotonto the hos- pital in Stamford. Dispatches from this city a few days ago told how the old man in his delirium held his hovel against all comers with two fowling pieces and a holster pistol for three days, untij he was finally overpow- ered by a half a hundred men. A queer char- acter he has been ever since an unfortunate love affair gave his mind atwist.

Into this he re- in time to be a grizzled, stout, tattered, ab- sent-minded man. Weed took to drink. He was little past the something of a gallant and stories of his con- quests are told about Noroton. But he continued to live alone. He scoffed at matrimony, did hisown cooking and ob- ected to any one visiting his hovel, for hovel t had become during recent years. Weed during the last national campaign was a Cleveland man. He believed, how- on Harrison. It was the first bet he ever mude. He loved money too dearly to risk it often ina wager. When Oleveland’s election was announced and the stakeholder in the county tavern paid the money over to the other fellow Weed went wild. It hurt him intensely to know that he had lost his money, and he began to drink heavily. He frequently told people that if any one tried to disturb him he would shoot them. He boasted of having two shot guns and a re- volver which, he always added with a leer, he invariably kept loaded. He locked himself up witha three gallon demijohn of whisky a week ago to starve, or rather, to drink himself to death. During three days occasional sounds of revelry were hea from the tiny house by the roadside, but Weed was not seen about the place. A delegation of citizens went to the house and knocked on the door. It was locked. All was silent within. Some one made a remark about the two shotguns and the revolver and the delegation withdrew. The Selectmen of the village of Darien were appealed to ana asked to take steps to inves- tigate the dreadful man. The Seléctmen drove down and headed a posse of about fifty persons. They went tothe house and, regardless of Mr. Weea’s avowal, broke down the door. They found poor old Weed within, lying prostrate on the floor. It was evident, from a hurried examination which the doctors made,that the days of the rugged old scholar and drunkard were nearly over. He was found death from lack of nourishment, But he had emptied the three-gallon demi- john.

Mr. Ewing Is Law Partner, Double Cousin and Friend of the Vice-President. Special Correspondence SUNDAY PoO&T-DISPATCH. BLOOMINGTON, III., April 14.—The appoint- ment of Hon. James 8. Ewing of this city as Minister to Belgiam is very pleasing to his friends, but it is nt surprising, as Mr. Ewing is not only law partner, but also a double cousin and boyhood friend of Vice-President Adlai EK. Stevenson. Mr. Ewing will be 58 years of age the 13th day of next July. He was born in Tazewall Coounty,this State. He was the second son of Mr. John Ewing, who at that time was a farmer, having immigrated from Christ- lan County. Ky., where a few goers prior Adiai Stevenson first saw he lightof day. His parents were compara- tively poor, but by hard work and economi- cal living laid by sufficient to assist their children in obtaininwa fair education. Jim- mie was a rough country boy and could split ralls and tote logs as handily as any lad in the neighborhood. He was naturally studi- ous, and at night after working hard all day in the flelds or laboripg among the brush of Tazewell County he would return home and — in the evening studying the books he 1ad borrowed dy the ligut of an old tallow candle or, inthe winter, by the old fire-place. A month or two in the winter he was allowed to attend the old district school and naturally become a member of one of the old-fashioned literary societies. A speech which the young man delivered with great success before the society caused Mr. Ewing’s parents to send him to school. He was then given a course in the old Jubilee College, which was then located near Gales- burg, which was a kind of a preparatory school. He was next sent to old Center College in Kentucky. He was graduated there with high honors. He then went to Philadelphia and for a brief time studied law with his uncle, Hon. John Bullett, who was then and is stili to-day one of the prominent legal lights of the Quaker City. After a short stay in that city he re- turnedto Bloomington and began studying law with Wiillams & Burr. The former was also Mr. Stevenson’s law preceptor, After studying for a few ears he passed an examination and was admitted to the bar. Shortly after he was admitted Adlai Steven- son and he decided to cast their lots together. The law firm of Stevenson & Ewing was established in 1867 and has met with great success. Both its members have succeeded in accumulating comfortable fortunes.

The North cf Irelan i Arming Itself to Re- sist the Home-Rule Bill. Written for the SUNDAY Post- DISPATCH. The game of politics, usually a very simple one in this country, where numerous dimcul- ties are provided for by machines, becomes peculiarly interesting when the members of opposing sides reach a point whenthey are ready to knock each other on the head. That state of affairs exists now in Ulster, Ireland, where a large percentage of the population is made up of Protestants, who are vigor- ously opposed to home rule. Ulster, as you provably know, is situated at the north end of the Emerald Isle, and its population ts largely derived from English settlements planted during the reignsof Elizabeth and James 1. These colonists have never really become Irishmen, nor have they assimilated any ot the Irish views. It is a noteworthy and doubtless a commendable feature in an English colonist that he either maintains a strong attachment for the mother country, or else starts out in business on his own account. He rarely ever enters into a partnership with the natives. To a person unacquainted with the facts, it must appear rather strange that one por- tion of a country, for which a kindly old gentleman has drawn up a careful scheme by which it may govern itself, should protest vehemently that it doesn’t want to govern itself, and not only protest, but arm itself and prepare to shoot at persons who should endeavor to thrust this privilege upon it. That is what Ulster is doing. Like a great many other troubles in this world, the one which is stirring the souls of the Ulster citizens is caused by differences of religious views. The Protestantism of Ire- land is concentrated in Ulster. The rest of the island is strongly Roman Catholic. The latter want home rule. They think that the condition of the poor will be bet. tered if they are governed at home, that the rents will go down, and that the constant ebb of the ulation in the direc- tion of America would stopped. The Uls- ter men, or Orangemen, or Protestants, whichever term you prefer, assert, on the other hand, that the operation of Mr. Glad- stone’s bill would result in the establish- ment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. This, they say, would be a death biow tothe prosperity of the North of Ireland. One of the results would be, they declare, the removal of the representation of Dublin University in Par- liament, and hence the practical destruction of that famous old institution. So you see that Ulster is a very distressing and hence highly interesting factor in home rule politics. Mr. Gladstone has argued that the dissent of a small fraction of Ireland ought not to interfere with the welfare f h majority. And Mr. ‘the spokesman of ry pposition in Commons, to which Ulster looks for help, has announced ina s ch at Belfast, that the tyranny o majorities might be found to be as bad a4 the tyranny of kings. He could not deny, con- scientiousiy, that what was justifiable against a tyrannical king was, under certain circumstances, justifiable against a tyran- nical majority. He trusted, however, that such circumstances would never arise. You see by this speech what a proper thing it is that Mr. Balfour should be one ot the im- portant leaders of — Tory party in Eu- gland, He is a typ Englishman. He be- le ves in the unerrableness of the ego. None other would get up and solemnly declare that majorities which go wrong should be punished, and should not be allowed to have their way, if their way is nota good one.

Only those who take the oath that binds them at the per of their lives to join the ranks when they shall be require are to ha arms, such the caution. The lodge is first surrounded by uards to see that there are no spies about. he ceremony closes with exhortations from the master and chaplain, who counsel eve member present to go to his home wit 8 to give no offense, by act or word, to any fellow-countrymen, and espec to bear his Roman Catholic neighbors no II- will.’’ Then the weapons are carried home, and probably concealed where no prying eyes may see them. It has been suggested that perhaps the British soldier would have some compunce- tions about — — at one of his own coun. trymen, should occasion arise. Maj.-Gen. Sir H.

New Tonk, April 15.—The blood of Colum- Dus once more visite the New World. Don Ohristobal Colon of LaCorda, Duke of vera gua, Marquis of Jamaica and Admiral and Adelantado, Mayor of the Indies, the lineal Gescendant of Christopher Columbus, Chief of the World’s Fair Commission from Spain, arrived here this morning on the American line steamship New York, reaching Quaran- tine atGo’clock. He was met there by Com- presence of several hundred cabin passen- ak he delivered an address of welcome on ; half of the Government. It was as fol- ows: Your EXcELLENCY: Lhave the honor to r ill ustrious in the xn President ofthe United State that al h ante of toe great admiral Christopher and hope that Your Excellency enjoy ali the easures which will be extended to you during the me you are in this eountry, and the courtesies of the nation are at your disposal. The Duke responded in a complimentary address, both speeches being madein Span- ish. The commander waited on the ew York until Gen. Porter arrived, when he presented himtothe Duke. The Duchess, who speaks only Spanish, is a remarkably handsome woman, bright and vivacious. She chatted with Commander and Mrs. Dickins on their way up the wharf, expressing her admiration of the harbor and of the new American liner which had brought her over the sea. The Duke's daughter aud his elder son, a fine lad of 17, speak English. They talked with the members of the reception commit- tees. The party had to wait at Twenty-sec- ond street for the carriages to take them to the hotel. It was not until 11 o’clock that — Duke de / a i» Pr y hi y 7 1 2 . Veragua. mander Francis W. Dickins, U. 8. N., the official representative of this Government, who went down the bay last night in the revenue cutter Grant, and by the special committee of citizens appointed by Mayor Gilroy to receive the distinguished guest and his suite and extend to him the freedom of the city. The Mayor’s Committee was headed by Gen. Horace Porter, and of the ten members appointed only Isador Strauss, Cornelius N. uss and Oeorge T. Davidson were present at Pier A when the special steamer, the Black Bird, left for Quarantine at 7 o’clock. Besides there four gentiemen there were the Duke’s nephew, Roderigo De Saavedra, Marquis of Villalobar. Pedro R. De Florez of the Spanish-American colony, and Don Enrique Dupuy de Some, for- merly Spanish Minister to this country, all of whom had been invited to ac- company the committee. There was some delay in starting, owing to the conflicting reports regarding the arrival of the New York. The Spanish flag floated from the flagstaff on the bow and both Spanish ana United States colors from the stern, while on the smaller staffs above the upper deck sev- eral fags of both nations were displayed. The sky was overcastand alight rain was fallingas the Black Bird steamed rapidly Gown the bay and passed through the nar- rows. The New York was seen about a half a mille off Quarantine, lying at anchor, and the revenue cutter Grant was anchoreda cable length away.

Upon reaching the Waldorf they went at once to the state apartments in the southeastern wingof the hotel. Luncheon was served in the private dining-room. At 9 o'clock this evening the dinner will be in the grand salon. The Duke will receivea Gelexation of the Circulo Colon Cervantes. The public reception will be held April 22. According to special orders issued by the Treasury Department the luggage of the Duke and his suite was passed without in- Spection, The Duke, as were all the rest of his party, was dressed most quietly. He is a small, thin man with dark, thick but not long side- whiskers, ala Chauncey Depew, tinged with gray. His faceis strongly Spanish, and his bronzed complexion shows evidence of con- siderable exposure tothe weather. He was dressed in a dark suit of clothes, dark inver- ness overcoat and small black derby hat, and held a half-consumed cigarin his hand. The Duke is extremely affable and easy of ap- proach. He formed a striking contrast to Gen. Porter, who delivered the address of welcome. The Duke’s brother, the Marquis Barboles, could easily be mistaken for him. They resemble eachin almost every respect and both bear the likenessof the accepted prints by which the great discoverer Christo- pher Columbus has come to be known. THINGS TO BE SEEN. — ——— EXHIBITS NOW ON THE GROUND OR ON THE WAY TO THE FAIR. CricaGo, April 15.—The World’s Fair will he opened promptly on May 1. The numer- ous restaurants and cafes in the World’s Fair buildings will be supplied from a com- mon Kitchen, situated inthe southern part of the grounds and measuring 125 by 825 feet. More than $16,000,000 has been paid out thus far by the Exposition Co. alone in prepara- tion ofthe fair. Anexpenditure of $6,000,000 or $7,000,000 more will be made. Tjeldie, the Norwegian sculptor of Minneapolis, will represent Hiawatha bearing Minnehaha in his arms across wild and rushing rivers. This is to be in the form of a statue for the Minneapolis building at the World’s Fair. The women of the State pay forit. The conception is said to be exceptionally flue, and, after being produced in plaster for presentetion during the Ex- position, it will be cast in bronze and placed at Minnehaha Falls, in the State park. The ladies have gathered the sum required for this sculpture by means of penny contributions in the schools. Mrs. H. T. Brown, of Minneapolis, one of the lady managers for the State,has been particularly active in the enterprise. Minnesota women have also the honor of presenting an especially handsome and unique fag for the decoration of the Wom- an's Building. This was in response to a request of the Board of Laay Managers for fags to be used for this purpose. The women of the Minnesota State Board ad- vertised for original designs fora flag and many were submitted. The first prise, for the accepted design, was awarded Mrs. Ec- ward H. Center; the second prize was given to Frank H. Hickman and the third to Miss Ada White, all of Minnesota. The statue Germania, which is to adorn the imperial portal ofa new German Par- liament dullaing in Berlin, will be shown at the World's Fiar. Through the efforts of Herr Wermuth and the consent of Emperor William this masterpliece ot German sculp- ture will be exhibited at Chicago. It willbe placed in the Manufactures Bullding, as the crowning piece of the German section there. When Germania is in place there will be seen represented a typical Germian mounted on a war horse, withanimperial flag in the right hand and an old German shield with the war eagle in the left. A youthful warrior, with sword and laurels, shows him- olf the receiptient of the gifts the god of herald! th of N Nee indsor Castle, bunt to de ved and ine model , should — si 2 t wi present a pavilion middle of which will be placed a p of the world, on which the dally dus Of all ot the steamers on the va ines ofthat company wl de repre- by miniature steamers that will be moved to corres a with the movements ot the ships of the company all over the world. Around this large map of the world will be placed the six models of the newest North German Lloyd steamers and a model of a new twin-screw steamer now bullding for the line between Bremen and China. Bretros Effendi Helweh, the famous Oriental decorator, bas arrived in Chicago from Paris with forty large boxes, containing the parts of a wonderful work which is to be displayed atthe World’s Fair. It is torepresent the luxurious splendor of a roomof an Eastern Sultan. It is made of 2,000,000 pieces of mo- sale and took ten years of Effendi Helweh’s lite to make it. It is in the form of a kiosk, and the interior is made upof rich Eastern desigus and legends, inlaid with mother of ariand rich wood. When reconstructed he kiosk will be placed in the Tunisean part of the French section. Effendi Helweh brings letters from Carnot, Eiffel, the late Jules Ferry and other distinguished Frenchmen. Heisabout 48 years ola and is considered the greatest living Oriental designer and decorator. Italy, which for a long time declined to participate in the World’s Fair, has made an appropriation of 277,500 lire, or about $55,500, for its representation. The Italian Chamber of Commerce and other financial interests bave also on funds with liberality. Visitors to the World’s Fair will have the opportunity of going to the roof of the Manu- factures Building—the largest in the world and enjoying there a haif-mile promenade. Four elevators, with a capacity of 600 an hour, will take the people tothe great plat- form 200 feet above the floor, from which a eet bird’s-eye view wiil be afforded t the interior of the mammoth building with its acres of exhibits beneath. From the platform the visitors will pass tothe prome - nade on the roof, where an unsurpassed bird's-eye view of the entire groun and buildings will be unfolded. The women of Mississippi, who are patriot. ically eniieavoring to have their State cred. itably represented atthe World’s Fair, will vuild a fortification of cotton bales on the a, 3 Vicksburg during the siege. ne hundred bales of cotton will be used in building the fort, and on the inside will be exhibited all the products of the great staple. The women will ornament their cotton fort with numbers of historic cannon, fags and other relics of the the war. Special fete days will be a prominent and interesting feature at the Worid’s Falr. The different States, foreign countries and many civic organizations will each have a day upon which to conduct special exercises or cele- brations, and programmes for them are now being arranged. ollowing are the days al- ready assigned for such celebrations: Ire Netherlands.

These coins are Of peculiar interest for sev- eral reasons. In some respects the Isabella quarter is a much greater novelty than the Columbian half-dollar, asthe coins bearing the Spanish Queen’s portrait are much more limited in number. Ine act of Congress au- thorizing their issue only provides for the minting of $10,000, or 40,000 quarters, hence there is every reason to believe they will be extremely rare. They are certain tocom- mand the attention of women the world over, since they are the first recognition by a government of the position that women are attaining in art, industrial and social move- ments. ndoubtedly the women of the country will regard this as thelr special souvenir, and, as so few will be minted, the demand for them will be proportionately great. The coin itself will bea work of art. The same care and painstaking attention willbe devoted to this issue as in making the Colum- bian souvenir coins; the fuil design has not been announced, but the obverse side is to dear the portrait of Queen Isabella of n. One of the special features of the new coin isthatitisthe firstissued by this Govern- ment to dear the portrait of a woman. Other coins dear the idealized representations of the fair sex, but this the firstto be honored’ y an authentic reproduction of a rticular feminine face. The coin . intended by the National Government to commemorate two important events, the aid given by Queen Isabella to Columbus which enabled himtomake the voyage of discovery to America, and the first special provision made by the United States Government for the adequate participation of women in an enterprise of world-wide im- portance. a Apart from the general interest imparted to the coins by national legislation and his- toric associations, their market value will be augmented by the fact that every coin col- lector in the world must have one. The Catholics throughout the world and the peo- ple of the Spanish race will be intereste ] in the souvenir in appreciation of the honor ex- tended to the memory of their greatest Queen by this Government. WON THEIR TRIKE. Mr. & ellers Accedes to the Roofers’ Terms —Others Will Follow. The composition roofers’ strike was short and sweetand the workmen came out victo- rious. John M. Sellers, who employs more handsthan all the other firms in the city combined, acceded to his men’s demands yesterday afternoon and the other firms will undoubtedly follow his example. The strik- ers comprised the men of the followin firms: J. M. Sellers, 125 men; John J. Lata Roofing Co., 19; P. Heayen, 14; Gilsonite Co., 25; Reimstedler Co., 12; Ehret 4 Warren, 15; a total of 210. Sellers’ men, although concerned in the strike nego- tiations did not really quit work atall, their — 1 bed having promised them compliance with their demands in the afternoon. The menfrom the other companies, however, walked out and held a meeting at their head- quarters on South Fourth street, whence they sent a committee with a peremptory demand that Sellers men walk out also. They re- ceived a reply thatif Mr. Sellers did not ac- cede to their wishes they would walk out in the afternoon. Their demand was for wages for foremen, $2.75 per day; for roofers, $2.50 per day ; for laborers, $2.25 per day, the day toconsist as hitherto, or ten hours. The men claimed they formerly recelved only 20 cents an hour, or$2a day. Communications ofa formal nature had passed between the men and their employing firms, the latter re- fusing to grant the concessions at pres- ent, on the ground that they a taken contracts at a lower rate than the wages de. manded would justify. The men then quit work. ir. John M. Sellers was the frst to signing their contracts. firms whose men are out have not name! ie ses ae, ’ : ay" We, SN eS, SR en ag ww A Case Which Is of Importance to the Entire Electric Lighting Industry of the United States—Grounds on Which the Columbia Company Disputes ths Edison Patent-The Arguments. The case in which the Edison Electric Light Co. are plaintifandthe Columbia In- candescent Lamp Oo. of St. Louis defendent which was before the United States Circuit Court all of last week, is a proceeding of un- usual interest and importance. The plain- tiff asked for a preliminary injunction, requiring the defendent to suspend the sale of its incandescent lamps, the manufacture of which was alleged to be an infringement of the patent of the plaintiff. The suit means more than appears on its face, for the Columbia compary is fighting not only for itself, but alsofor all the com- panies now manufacturing incandescent lamps in opposition to the Edison company. A suit somewhat similar in nature was de- cided in Boston in fayor of the Edison com- pany, and this was regarded as conclusive. But when the St. Louis suit was brought it wasfound thatthe opposition had by no means exhausted its defense. The Edison Electric Light Co. claimed that Thomas A. Edison, who had transferred his patent rights to the company, was the first inventor of the system of lighting incandescent lamps by means of an electric current conveyed into the buib dy platinum wires, and from these to a wire or bamboo film. In the Boston trial this was decided, and the Edison company believed that it had gained a complete vic - tory. But when the suit was brought against the Columbia Incandescent Lamp Co., a new defense was de- veloped, It was claimed that the Edison company did not hold the original letters patent, but that the principle upon which its lamps were constructed had been discovered as early as 1858 by H. Goebel, who had exhibited and used lamps identical in method of construction with the Edison lamp. This being granted, there could be no valid patent and, therefore, no infringe- ment. AGAINST THE GOEBEL CLAIM. The argument of the Edison company was led by F, B. Fish of Boston, and O. C. Seward of New York, a son of the great Seward and himself a lawyer of renown, They held that the Goedel lamp was nothing but a toy. That electricity could be used to produce light uad long been known, but neither Goebel nor any of his prodecessors had brought the invention toa commercial basis. That electricity would by being passed overa platinum wire ina partial vacuum produce a light was well- known years before the Goebel invention, but the destruction of the platinum was complete within a few days, and witb the imperfect vacuum no lamp could havea long Men Even the carbom conductors of Goebel, it was argued, were not similar to the fine films of Edison, operating in what was prac- tically a total vacuum. The heavy strips of carbon burned out quickly, but the light films lasted forabout six hundred hours. This made one system of commercial im- portance, and rendered the other worthless for practical use. ATTACKING THE EDISON PATENTS. It was argued on the other side that the Geobel system covered all tee patents under which the Edison system claimed title, and that the departures from the early invention were merely matters of detail. Whether the carbon conductor was ofa greater or lesser thickness had nothing to do with the princl- ple, and it was urged tbat the Edison patent was in fact no patent at all. Mr. Willett, on behalf of the Columbia com- pany, argued that the fact thata perfect vacuum could now be produced, which could not be obtained at the time of the Goebel in- vention in no way operated in favor of the Edison patent, as the idea was present, although it could not be carried tnto effect. An immense aumder of depositions were filled,some show- ing that the Goebel light had been exnibited in public long before the Kdison patent was granted, and others asserting that its opera- tion on any large scale was an economic im- possibility. The decision of Judge Hallett will be awaited with great interest, as upon it depends a number of cases. It will probably be some time before he ren- ders an opinion. As the Edison patents ex- ire in about a year anda half the company s not so much interested in the revenue to be realized in the future from use of its lamps as it is in securing awards 0 damages for alleged infringements already practised. If the case is decided in favor of the Edison company it wlll have a monopoly for the next elghteen months, but if the de- cision is adverse any concern can manu facture an electric lamp, and no manu- facturer will be liable to Dack damages to the Edison company. GEN. sLOCUM VERY ANGRY. His Son, Clarence Rice Slocum, Married Against the General’s Wishes. New York, April 15.—Brooklyn people are very anxious to learn something more about the wedding of Clarence Rice Slocum, son of Henry W. Slocum,and Miss Annie Louise Boyle, which was solemnized by Dr. Talmage last Wednesday evening, just before the opening of the weekly prayer-meeting in the lecture-room of the Tabernacle. The young couple came in just before the service, ac- companied by the bride’s mother and sister, and asked to be married. As they were both of age Dr. Talmage performed the ceremony tor them. He did not learn till after the knot was tied that the groom was the son of his old friend, Gen. Slocum, and then he looked serious. It is said that the match was a secret one sOfar as the young man’s family are coneerned, and that the General was very angry When he heard what his son had done.

This caused these statements to their force and to be regarded with dis- by many of the bulls and ridicule by the bears. To hear the same story told and Tetold by the same man becomes rather tire- 2 dome, and that just now appears to be the dase with crop damage stories. The big wae nal traders cannot figure the Gov- t reportas bullish; atleast they say They cannot. They concede a certain amount Of damage, but claim the shortage will not do sufficient to offset the enormous supplies in Sight. They are banking and speculating u the big visible just as hard and storng in 91 they banked and speculated upon magnificent crop prospects of this try.

That much of shortage does not mean cheap prices, nor it mean absolute safety in selling short nt prices ~* Another week nearer May deepens the feel- Ing in poses to the stocks of wheat that are | here and at other markets against es for that market.

It has en intimated that the Banks would refuse their ald in carrying this beyond April. That in view of the nfounded and unjust charges that have n regarding the condition of the im stock here, the St. Louis bankers “were afraidtotake any chances in advanc- ing the necessary funds to carry this wheat to July. That money was tight and could be More profitably employed than in carry- ing grain. In short, that st.

The effect of this has been to put the pricelower and lower and it is thought by many that a decline of Ic is by no means an impossibility. Light frosts were reported from some sections very damaging tothe young plant, but all information ofan unfavorable character was not heeded, and the market not able to resist the flood of bearish advices.

The hay market developed considerable strength early in the week on the best grades of timothy and prairie. Receipts for the week show some increase, being 2,679 tons against 2,280 tons the week before; shipments fell off about half—only 850 tons being shipped this week against 603 tons the previous week. The receiptsran mainly to poor hay, there poms a large amount of heatea and damaged among the arrivals. Nearly all the hay arriving from Minnesota and North- ern lowa was out of condition—mainly wet from snow. The hay from these sections has every indication of being dry ana frosted when bailed and shipped but when tt arrives here and strikes a warmer atmosphere ite true condition is quickly indicated, and no matter how good the hay might be otherwise, and much of it is good color, and under other conditions would grade well up tothe top, it quickly heats and becomes damaged and a large majority of it is abso- lutely unmerchantable, and on the best of it charges cannot be realized. Ixed, off-color and over-ripe timothy is in excessive supply and under a pressure to sell the market ruled weak and prices low. Even at the low prices rulinga steady accuniulation in stocks was noted. Good hay, owing to the light supply and good demand, was frm and on the extreme top des, 50c, and in some cases $1 per ton advance was secured early inthe week. Later there was a slight in- crease in the arrivals of this class of hay and some ot the advance was lost, but the week closes with the market bare of all such hay anda steady market is looked for the coming week. The situation on prairie was the same asintimothy. Straw was in fair supply, but considerable of the offerings were poor, off-colored and damp, and sold at sharp declines. Bright dry stock met fair sale at prices ruling last week. Chat From ’Change. According to official returns the Argentine Republic exported in 1892, 17,280,000 bu wheat and 16,400,000 bu maize. . . +. Jim Hamlin, ex-prohibitionist: The situa- tion in wheat looks very bullish, from a crop expert’s standpoint. — — > Since the port of Novorossisk was connect- ed with the railway of Viadicaucus, five beg ago, more than 48,000,000 bu of wheat as been exported from there. — * *. The difference between the State’s and the Government’s report on the winter wheat crop has been more than usually marked this year.In past years, under Statistician Dodge's management, the Government generally made the State average higher than the State bureaus did. This year Commissioner of Agri- culture Morton makes the average lower than the State reports. Which goes to show that undera Democratic administration the crop report will be bullish. Probably the Standard Theater ofthis city was never 60 patronized by the pit talent of the Exchange as it was during the past week. One of the variety performers sung a song in which there was the refrain, There is no rain in Kansas, and when the boys of the grain pit heard of this song they turned out unanimously to hear it. The bulls were especially delighted with it, of course, and they say that one night, when Frank Wood- have been phenomenally low for some time; | punished crimes.

European markets are known to be very sensitive, and are likely to respond quickly to any relief from surplus offerings which may absorbed here. Of course this is in a more or less degree a theo- retical question. The fact, however, remains that the same conditions which have been operative at prominent lead centers in Amer- ica for somesix weeks are becoming more pronounced every day, and there are no signs Of a radical relief for the short supply, The market closes in St. Louis at $3.92 for Apriland $8.95 for May.

There are no less than three in the field now, the latest being composed of the principal commission houses. If all will consolidate and meet in a friendly spirit, no doubt they will make a success, Dut with a three-cornered fight, such as is imminent at present, there will be nothing but loss to all concerned. Buffalo, too, has two com- panies fighting each other, where there is only room for one. * * = Yesterday afternoon P. M. Kiely & Co. re- ceived seventy-seven cases of strawberries froma shipper at Madison Station, Miss. Saturday afternoon is the worst possible time to receive strawberries to sell to advantage and they could not be placed at anything near the morning’s prices. The fruit coming from Mississippi at present is rather green and well sprin¥led with sand, the result of the late heavy rains down there. - 7 5 A concern down at Fort Smith, Ark., witha grand flourish, embracing a good deal of barmless gas, announces to the trade every- where they will soon be ready to furnish and fill orders for strawberries, early vegetables, etc., and winds up the circular with We — — 4 will not consign goods.“ It might added, however, that they will consign or dump the goods, regardless of their magnifi- cent quality so elegantly described in the cir- culars going out so fast just now. * . * Jim Gorman, at last reports, was whoop- ing it up forhisfirm downat Tyler, Tex., setting his pegsfor the season and getting the grangers in line. A watermelon grower there writes his commission merchant here that Jim is making the farmers some big of- fers and has talkedthem all into good hu- mor, adding that he could get through plowed ground and climb fences faster than any drummer that struck Tyler in years, und that a stout man wouldn't bein it with him in hustling through the farms. o 7. — One of the largest consignments of vegeta - bies received in this market came to hand last Monday. The shipment consisted of seven cars of cabbage and one car of assorted vegetables, in all over 2,000 package, and was received by Pillman Bros, Besides this lot several other fair sizea consignments were received by P. I. Kiely & Co., Shap Bros. and others. The large amount thrown on the market in one day did not depreciate prices to any extent, all finding ready sale at steady prices. . = * he sensational articles published dy the Chicago papers two or three months ago predicting a very heavy advance inthe val- ues of all vegetables, fruits, etc,, including potatoes, cabbage, onions, apples, etc.,etc., going far enough to say that they would be more than doubled before the opening of spring and a veritable famine imminent, came to griefas predicted inthis column at the time in referring tothe matter. The writer predicted possibly sufficient advance to cover the regular cost, orloss by decay, shrinkage, etc., and yet that proved too lib- eral for prices on all the commodities named are actually lower than they were when these erratic prophets were busy with their pens discussing a subject they were poorly acquainted with as the sequel shows, . „ * The removal of Brockman 4 Trauernicht from thelr old quarters, 904 North Third street, to the comparatively new and ve commodious structure, 805 and 807 North all the requirements of a cheap boarding- house than any rooster ever known to the dealers here, * + * The dutter market is and has deen for a while past in quite a peculair condition. While the stock, supply and make has been decreasing steadily the price has contrary to rule also declined, all because dealers are led by the nose to follow the bidding of the Elgin board of trade. If they say, put the price up, up it goes regardless of the stocks on band, or increased supplies, neither of which they may be able to readily dispose of even ata sacrifice. Still, if Elgin says up, they are so accustomed todoas bid, regardless of its correctness, they obey at once, just as was done here about a month ago. Although there was a surplus of butter and receipts more than am- ple, in fact could not be disposed of, prices were raised beyond the ideas of consumers, or of the trade either, for that matter. Look at it and see the fix Elgin has us into now, At the opening of this week we had little or no butter on hand or in sight. The make evidently was not increasing, still Elgin issued its verdict by announcing lower prices. Like obedient children dealers here at once dropped theirs. Still had not sufficient but- ter tosupply theirtrade, yet they marked it down. Now they are recovering and begin to ask Elgin for something to sell. The re- sult wil likely be advances, my children, and hurt your trade again. Ir those who dictate our prices weighed the situation properly, as they ought to do, con- sidering the supply and demand as they knew it to be the first of the past week,there should be no just reason why price should be advanced at the next meeting of the Elgin Board. Although supply is short with us now it will goon bridge over and we shall have all the butter we want at present prices if not less. ON THE STREET.

Twelve countries were represented. After holding six sessions it failed to come to any agreement and adjourned, The third inter- national monetary conference met in Paris in April 1881, at the call of the Governments of France andthe United States to examine and adopt for the purpose of submitting the same to the Governments represented a plan and a system for the establishment, by means ofan international agreement, of the use of gold and silver as bi-metallic money, accord- ing to a settled relative value between those metals. After holding thirteen sessions it failed to come to any agreement and ad- journed to meet ata later date, but did not meet again. The fourth international con- ference met in Paris in 1889. It had noofiicial character. Its members failed to agree on any solution of the silver question and ad- journed. The fifth international monetary conference met in Brussels in November, 1692, at the call of the President of the United States, who invited the Governments of Eu- rope to send delegates ‘‘to consider by whut means, ifany, the use of silver can be in- creased in the currency systems of the nations. Twenty countries were repre- sented. After holding nine sessions, it falicd to come to any agreement and adjourned to meet on May 80, 1893. The Hon. Henry W. Cannon, Delegate from the United States, presents his conclusions as to the result of the Brussels Conference as follows: **We are forced tothe conclusion that an international bi-metallic union cannot be formed, nor an international di- metallic agreement fixing the ratio between gold and Silver, entered into unless a great change occurs in the public sentiment of Great Britain, whose position inthe conference is indicated by a statement of Sir Rivers Wil- son, who declared: Our faith is that of the school of monometalism, pure and simple. We do not admit that any other system than a single gold standard would be epplicable to our country. This statement has recently been con- firmed by the utterances of Mr. Gladstone in Parliament. Upon the action of England ap- parently depends the action of the majority of other countries. M. Timard, deiegats from France, who has since become the Min- ister of Finance for that country, de- clares himself opposed to any bi-metal- lic agreement unless it included Great Britain, Germany. Austria and Russia. Belgium, Italy and Greece annrunced that they were of the same mind. Germany, Den- mark, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland de- clared that they proposed to remain on a ld basis, and Austria-Hungary also stated fs intention to abide by the gold standard, which itis in the course of adopting. The Netherlands, Spain and Mexico were ready to join a bi-metallic union provided Great Britain would unite. No declaration of pol- icy was made by Russia nor the Roumanian Government, although they intimated that they dia not consider bi-metalism a good policy. Under these circumstances it is evident that unless our executive and the principal members of our national Legislature are will- ing to agree tosome proposal or policy look- ing to the purchase of silver bulllon and the issue of notes ageinst the same by the other nations in conjunction with ourowncountry, nothing can be accomplished at the adj urn- oa meeting of the international conference on May so next. As heretofore stated, it is evident that no agreement fixinga ratio be- tween gold and silver can possibly be arrived at at the present time, and it is useless to continue to discuss bi-metalism. Five conferences held during the last twenty-five years has accomplished nothin definite and the inference is fair that it is no practicabie to establish an international bi- metallic agreement fixing the rate between gold and silver. But suppose that it were practicable; suppose that the Governments of these twenty or more nations should agree to establish the ratio between gold and silver at 1 to 16, or 1 to 20, or 1to8, and that these nations should agree to open their mints to the coinage of gold and silver at the ratio determined on, the question at once arises what would be the nature of this agreement? Manifestiy it could be made only by treaty between the contracting powers. Stripped of its diplomatic e: such a treaty would cover two essential points—frst, the — Soa the ratio; second, the concurrent opening ot the mints of each of the contract- nations to the free or limited coinage of and silver at that ratio. Could sucha contract be practically maintained? Suppose that after a time one ortwo, or five of the tions party thereto, should withdraw the monetary union? There is no to compel these nations to keep treaty, except by force, This i mean the expenditpre of large sums of yin werfare. That is, the idea is an my. ‘Hence the inference is fair that maintain in practice an international bil- lic agreement fixing the ratio between and suver and opening the mints of contracting nations to coinuge of both at that ratio is not practicable. But real weakness of the idea of an interna- ratio lies deeper than this. The idea fallacious. It is contrary to natural laws. is an impossibility to make two commodl- always equal to one another in value, say the advocates of the idea, ifthe ments of all these nations declare m to be equalin value they will be.

N xn DAY IN WALL STREET. New Tonk, April 16.— Tue Post says finan- cially: There was little reflected in to-day 's revalling senti- farreaching gnificance. arguments on “which very sagacious houses founded their buying of stocks two weeks ago, and if ee abandoned their task as hopeless in the present market and sold most of the stock acquired the facts upon which they had based their experiment remain unchanged. Nobody ap- preciates the truth of this more fully than the professional opetators for the decline, whose timidity, under the peculiar circum- stances of the market, has been repeatedly subject ofremark. But a market without support, in days when blocks of securities so immense are held by speculators constantly on the watch for new development, is neces- sarily one of chronic weakness. rf noboay appears to buy at an advance, the chances are that the speculator will ease his load. At the opening the tendency of to-day’s market was downward. A desultory ham mering of prices, here and there, brought out some stock in Missouri Pacific, Lake Shore, New England and National Oordage and the general market yielded slightly along with these declines. The bank statement, however, appeared sonte- time before the close of business, and was favorable evough to check the downward movement. There was nothing mysterious in the bank’s gain of $1,819,800 reserve, made up as it was of $2,133,400 increase in legal ten ders. It is true the banks acting for the = exporters turned over $2,000,000 legal tenders on Monday in part payment for the treasury gold, but the interior exchanges have mean- — swung distinctly about in New York’s avor. Chicago exchange, which ruled at 80 cents discount in the March money squveze, is quoted now at 80 to 90 cents premium. A sum of legal tenders much larger than Mon- day’s outgo has come inthis week from Chi- cago on regular bank transactions, and the movement at the close of the week will be heavier than its opening. To this the late settlements in the wheat deal have con- tributed. Altogether, however, the bank statement was much better than had been commonly expected. The market’s recovery on its publication was very tame. A most important incident ofthe day, not generally known on Wall street, was the re- newal by treasury agents of efforts to ar- range for another transfer of gold from the city banks to the Government, in exchange for legal tenders.

BELT OF THE RICHEST MINERAL LAND IN THE WORLD. A t of | Original Discovery and Recent Develop- ment of the Mines—How the Zinc Was Overlooked—Methods of Working—An | Ideal Poor Man’s Country—Geological _ Problems—Extent of the Deposits. In Southwest Missouri, lying in a strip about 100 miles long and from 20 to 25 miles wide, running northeast and southwest, is one ofthe most remarkable lead and zinc districts of the world. It commencesin the Indian Territory and extends to a point north of Carthage, and is known as the Joplin dis- trict. Joplin was at one time the main pro- ducing point, but it no longer holds this rank, as the combined output of Webb City and Carterville, which are practically one town, is greater, and has been 80 for several years, than that of Joplin itself. But the name is still retained, as Joplin, although not the principal pro- ducer, is stillthe principal city of the South- west Missouri mining region. THE FIRST MINES. The existence of lead in this region has long been known, andthe mines were worked with profit before the war. During the troubles incident to the rebellion, mining was largely stopped, but stillit was kept up sporadically and the troops of Price’s army were largely supplied with lead from the Juplin mines, and from shallow diggings along the creeks. Strange to say the existence of zinc was not suspected for years, although the dlende was constantly found by the miners. They did not know what it was and rejected it as worthless. One is strongly reminaed of the gold-seekers in Leadville, who rejected the rich carbonate silver ore in their vain quest for the more precious metal and left in de- spair acountry which was fairly teeming with mineral wealth. EARLY METHODS. A visit to Joplin at the present day will give an excellent idea of the development of the mining industry. Along the water courses, which are shallow and few in number, the ground is torn up. and ever few yards a shallow hole is passed. hese are the relies of the days of ‘‘surface mining. an industry as dead as placer gold mining is. None of-the shafts are more than ten or fif- teen feet deep, and while the amount of lead sO extracted was considerable the feld available for this style of work was soon ex- hausted. With the disappearace of the sur- face miner, two or three yearsafter the close of the war, the belief was that the South- — Missouri lead fields had seen their best ays. Such did not, however, prove to be the case. Eastern capitalists came to the con- clusion that where so much lead had been found more must exist, and accordingly a scientific search began, shafts were sunk, and with the best results. While the whole country was not underiaid with mineral, it was likely to be struck in paying quantities anywhere, and often very rich deposits were found.f{Thus — gree theſera of deep mining,the system that still prevails. To'refer tothe mines as deep would appear to one trained inthe silver regions as absurd. They seldom reach a depth of 250 feet, and in the neighborhood of Joplin they average about 100 feet. The ore in the larger mines is raised by engine and bucket. in the smaller by the horse whim. At first the latter was nearly univer- sally employed. THE DISCOVERY OF ZINC. The discovery of zinc, or rather of its value, followed immediately on the introduction of scientific mining. The trained engineers at once sawthe value of the mineral that the 18 norant miners had thrown away,and utilized it. To-day the zinc output far exceeds the lead. In fact 80 per cent of the zinc of the country comes from the Joplin District. Some zincis mined. in New Jersey, some in Michigan anda little at a few other points, but the Joplin District casts all others into the shade. Nowhere else in the world can zinc and lead mining be so cheaply conducted. The ore lies near the surface, and the ground is nearly entirely free from rock, thus render- ing sinking shafts a very inexpensive affair. Labor is reasonable, and no great skillis required. Coal is found in Kansas which can be cheaply 1 1 to the mllis, and transportation for the lead, and for such of the zinc as is not smelted in the immediate neighborhood is low, so low that some ship- ments have been profitably made to Swansea, Wales. There is no expensive tunnelling through barren ground to be done, and since the invention of the ‘‘jig’’ cleaning the ore bas been an easy matter. When ready for shipment the lead. and the zinc blende are nearly pure. The cheapness with which millscan be constructed is as tontshing to those accustomed to the expen- sive apparatus required in gold or silver mining. A simple crusher, working IIke a palr of jaws, breaks up the large lumps of ore that are fed in witha shovel. The dirt 18 then washed away andthe fine mineral and pulverized rock passed intothe jigs. These are simply screens provided with round holes of various sizes, over which water runs and to which a shakingor jigging motion is im- parted. The ore drops 7 ae and is by its specifiC gravity separated from the rock. Alter a supplementary washing it is ready for the smelter. A POOR MANS’ COUNTRY. Joplin and the adjacent towns are essen- tially ‘‘poor men’s camps. Since the days of placer washings no mining has been carried on at so low a cost. A workman need not own a foot of ground or expend anything be- yond bis labor, and the sum necessary to rovide his tools—a horse and a simple 1orse-windlass or whim. The royalty system comes to the ald of the poorman. Owners of mineral lands are always ready to let a work- man have a piece of ground on his agreement to do a certain amount of work, and to pay as rental one-tenth of the gross output. By so doing the owner is able to have his land explored free of cost, and the miner can setup for himself at practically no cost at all. In some particularly rich sec- tions a royalty of 20 per cent is charged. A ta vorite method of working mines on royalty is for three mento form a partnership, one agreeing to work for wages in one of the mines and to share nis earnings with his who in turn give interest in property. In this very considerable fortunes been founded. When raised the ore is either sold tothe millowers or to the ore-buyers, who shipit fortreatmentto the smelters which they represent. SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES. But while mining inthe Joplin district has many advantages, it is also not without its drawbacks. While mineralis known to exist all over the belt no one can tell just where it will be found. The whole country isa geo- logical puzzie. There are no outcrops nor float to guide the prospector. The would-be miner finis himself on a gently roll- ing plain, where one spot seems as likely to bea favorable place to sink his shaft as another. He may strike ore within thirty feet, he may go down 200 feet without finding a trace, while shafts all around him are turning out ore by the ton. Then there is nothingto indicate when his quest is hopeless, and he had best seek a new location. He is perfectly aware that the next stroke of his pick may uncover the long sought deposit, and also knows that he may sink tothe center of the earth without a sightofthe bright sieel or copper colored crystals of which he isin search. Many con- — Dae mining to be the most trying in the world. , No one can tell Just how the lead ues- 4 ms ae 2 8 N * * * * | 5 > - K j whe 2 . PPP ˙ eg OP e n 2 a out tween im — in „* until it rs the floors 8 passed. Nothing is more hated by the miner than what is known as a mud mine.“ Danger, too, is always present. Heavy timbering would be so costly as to render fhe mines unprofitable. Risks have be taken, and they often terminate — 7 Suddenly, without the slightest warning, a huge doulder, which was apparently firmly imbedded in the earth, will come down with a crash, crushing all beneath. Not infrequently the entire roof of a drift will come down, and there are several instances in which once rosperous mines are now — only y yawning chasms in the earth. A PECULIAR MARKET. After getting out his ore the miner has still another difficulty to encounter, that of disposing of it at a fair pricetoore buyers. All the great smelting firms of the country have representatives at the different camps, and they practically control the market. A mar- ket price is quoted on both lead and zinc, but this does not enable anyone who may own these commodities to dispose of them at these figures. The man who has made him- self unpopular with the ore buyers, who nearly invariably act together, finds his ore isa white elephant on his hands. They will not buy it at any price, or Offer a figure $2 or $3 a ton below the market. No other miner will buy it from him, as itis well Known that the boycott will follow the ore. The small miner is thus nearly helpless in the hands of the ore buyers. Probably in no district in the world of the same acreage are there sO many different mines as in certain sections of the Joplin dis- trict. The ground is fairly honeycombed with Shafts, and it isa dangerous Venture to walk about at night without a light. There may be twenty shafts without a shaft house ora mill within miles. This represents an abandoned district. The fact that a large section may be worked out prevents the con- struction ofexpensive mills and renders the work of reduction more expensive than it would be were the mines more stable. At Carterville and Webb City in especial is the ground fairly covered with shafts. The acre- age is much smaller than at Joplin, and the output greater. But nowherein the central part of the district can a man ride two or three miles without coming upon shafts either in operation or abandonec, 5 THE WEEKLY OUTPUT. The mineral delt is not only dotted with shafts, but also dotted with mining towns. Within the district from Southeastern Kansas to north of Carthage no less than eight con- siderable towns, dependent principally or wholly upon the mining industry exist, Joplin, Webb City, Carterville, Galena, Car- thage, Wentworth, Zincite and Oro- nogo. In Joplin alone there are up- wards of forty large companies, many r a dozen mines or more, with hundreds of small mines owned by indl- viduals. Duringthe first week of April the Joplin mines turned out 2,087,920 pounds of zinc and 245,810 pounds of lead. The zinc output of the entire district was 6,431,270 pounds, and the lead output 669,560 pounds, all valued at $81,70%. The output for the year will, it is “believed, sell for more than $4,500,000, even if no new mines are opened. Butthat additional mines will be opened seems more than probable. Buta small part of the strip, 100 miles by 20, has deen at all adequately explored, prospecting is going on constantly, and noone would be at allsurprised should a new territory be discovered richer than the richest deposit in what is even now the richest zinc district in the world. LONGEST SPEECH ON RECORD. Mr. De Cosmos, a British Columbian Statesman, Talks Twenty- Six Hours. The longest speech on recordis belleved to have been that made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the Legislature of British Columbia, when a measure was pending the passage of which would take from a great many settlers their lands. De Cosmos was in a hopeless minor- ity. The job had been held back till the eve of the close of the session; unless legislation was taken defore noon of a given day, the act of confiscation would fail. The day be- tore the expiration of the Umitation De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m., and began a speech against the bili. its triends cared little, for they supposed that by lor2 o’clock he would be through, and the bill could be put on its passage. One o’clocKk came, and De Cosmos was speaking still—had not more than entered upon his subject. Two o’clock—he was saying in the second place. Three o’clock—he pro- auced a fearful bundle of evidence and in- sisted on readingit. The majority began to have a suspicion of the truth—he was going to speak till next noon and killthe bill. For awhile they made merry over it, but as it came on to dusk they began to get alarmed. They tried interruptions, Dut soon aban- doned them, because each one afforded him achance to digress and gain time. They tried to shout him down, but that gave him a breathing space, and, finally, they settled down to watch the combat between strength of will and weakness of body. They gave him no mercy—no adjournment for dinner, no chance to do wore than wet his lips with water, no wandering from his subject, no sitting down. Twilight darkened; the gas was lit; members slipped out to dinner in re- lays, and returned to sleep in squads, but De Cosmos went on. The Speaker, to whom he was addressing himself, was alternately doz- ing, snoring and trying to look wide awake. Day dawned andthe majority slipped out in squads to wash and bDreakfast, and the speaker still held on. It cannot be said that it was a very logical, eloquent or sustained speech. There were digressions in it, repett- tions also. But still the speaker kept on; and at last noon came toa baffled majority, livid with rage and impotence, anda single man who was triumphant, though his voice had sunk toa husky whisper, his eyes were almost shut and were bleared and bloodshot, his legs tottered under him, his blacked lips were cracked and smeared with blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty-six hours, and saved the settlers their lands! To Name It St. Louis. Mr. George E. Leighton has appointed the following committee to serve with him in the matter of having one of the new Ameri- can Line steamers named St. Louls. This was done in pursuance to the resolution adopted at the meeting held at the Mayor’s office on April ui, when Mr. Leighton was seiected as Chairman of the committee, with power to name the other members. The men named by him are Congressman Seth W. Cobb, Congressman Richard Bartholdt, E. C. Simmons, William T. Anderson, President of the Merchants’ Exchange; E. A. Hitchcock, President of the Commercial Club, and Rob- ert E. M. Bain. This committee will meet Monday afternoon at s’o’clock at Mr. Leigh- ton’s office, No. 204 North Third street. At this meeting there will probably be a com- mittee selected to goon to Philadelphia and New York to see the officers of the steamship company in reference to having the steam- ship named St. Louls.

LEADVILLE, Oolo., April 16.—Recently it was mentioned in thé Posr-DisPatca that the Wolcott people were working in another new and excellent{body of iron ore. This body was found in the west workings of tne claim and has developed into a good body of car- donate mineral that assays Well In silver and lead and also shows some traces of gold. This ore chute promises still furtherjimprove- ment. At the Thespian mine the ore body has not yet been caught but the indications are very favorable. The main shaft is down 600 feet and at a point about 160 feet from the bot- tom a winze is being sunk intothé lime. In this lime a large and funnel shaped opening occurs filled with a peculiar ocherish contact matter that leads the management to believe that at the bottom they will get into ore. The remarkable lowering of the water level of this district was never so plainly in- dicatedas in the Thespian. In 1885 there was 80 feet of water to handle; in November, 1891, there was 11 feet, last No- vember 9% feet, but within the past few months the tremendous panting. in the city shafts has entirelf drained the Thespian. At the celebrated Bohn property there is lots of work going on, From the bottom level four driftsare being run into the lime and under thé ore body. The longest of these drifts is now in over 100 feet and with every prospect of meeting with rich ore very 8008. he water flow has greatly diminished and it only takes four boilers to do the work that formerly required eight. The present hoisting capa- city of the plant has been found to be wholly inadequate to keep pace withthe demands made upon it,and soa Mammoth double cage is to be placed in position at once. THE HABKER SHAFT. The work of sinking the old Harker shaft at the Maid and Henriett property has been commenced. There isa great deal of excel- lent work going on at this consolidation and itseems very likely from indications that the work now olng carried forward in the lower levels will demonstrate some very important geological facts that may effect a revolution in mining in this district. The bottom of the main shait is down 900 feet — the Cambrian quartz just above the gran- e. During the recent development work on the Hibschle property several very good bodies of ore have been opened up. Lester- day another very good strike was made in one of the drifts being run toward the shaft and consists of a good body of carbonate ore, in which considerable chloride stuff is found that runs quite highin silver. It would seem from present indications that the ore bodies lie in place above the iron and porphyritic material and that. by upraising the main body wili certainly be met with. It is understood that a crushing mill is to be erected in order to handle the larger lump ore; concentration operations by means of jigs will also be car- ried on through which 4 per cent ore secured that will secure free treatment for the ore. In the outlying sections ofthis camp there is the usual heavy spring work and coasider- able ore is being mined. Shipments, how- ever, will probably be lighter this month, as the dad condition of the roads makes ore hauling a difficulttask. In many cases ore is beihg placed. in bins, and as soon as the roadsarein goodcondition shipments will be doubled, Considerable interest is being manifested in the new placer fieids on the Grand River some forty miles west of Leadville. A St. Louis syndicate is figuring onthe purchase of 150 acres of diggings now being worked by resident owners at that point. ther claims are located in that neighborhood, and this season will see some very important work done there if capitalists get hold of the round. The first quarter shows shipments for crude to be 27,000 tons, and the estimated value is given at $2,000,000. RELIGIOUS NEWS. Visit of Southern Methodist Bishops—Church Items. The Southern Methodists of the city are anxious to know whether the nine bishops of the church will accept the invitation of the local ministers to spend a day in this city on their way to Kansas City. The bishops will hold a preliminary meeting in Louisville, Ky., Thursday, the 27th inst., and will then decide whether they will stop over at St. Louis on their journey from Louisville to Kansas City, where they will hold their second session, May 5. If the bishops will delay in St. Louis they will be given a public reception in one of the churches. The South Side Young Woman’s Christian Temperance Union will give the first of a series of parlor entertainments Thursday evening, April 12, at the Lafayette Park M. E. Church, corner of Lafayette and Missouri avenues. A meeting of the parishioners of the new rish of St. Mathew the Apostie will be 1eld at Turner Hall, corner Whittier and North Market streets, to-day at 3 p. m. At the Second Baptist Church Rev. Dr. Ford will preach this Morning on The Mystery of a Dlvine-Human Life, and this evening on The Mystery ofa Divine-Human Purpose.’’ A benefit consert was given the Eden Mis“ sion Sunday-school last Thursday evening by the Strassberzer Ladies’ Orchestra, at the .

For five years Mrs. Liebreck, who Keeps a bakery at No. 2313 Franklin avenue, had given Brown food and — j Friday afternoon she gave him a nickel and a bag of doughnuts. He threw the doughnuts in her face, and when she re- fused togive him eu else struck her several times on the head with his fist. She had him arrested and several dollars were found on him, When arraigned before Judge Paxsonin the Second District Police Court yesterday he complained that Mrs. Liebreck never gave him anything but doughnuts and he was tired of them. Judge Paxson sent himtothe Work-house on a $25 fine, where John will get a different fare. Charges Against a Boy. Park Todd, a 15-year-old boy, was arrested by Detectives Harrington and Gocking on a charge of complicity in the burglary of F. H. W. Woolrich’s residence, 716 North Compton avenue, on the night of Jan. 18 last. A dia- mond pin, two rings, Ohe pair of bracelets and a watch and chain, valued iu all at $500, were stolen. The pin and the watch were found in Todda’s session when. arrested. A warrant charging bim with burglary in the first degree and larceny was issued this morning. Beat an Officer. Judge Paxson yesterday fined Charlies Mara $50 for interfering with an officer and Charles Gartiand $15 for resisting arrest. Officer Heffernan arrested Gartiand on April 2 for loitering on a street corner at Twenty-third and Biddle streets, and on the way to the station he resisted and at- tempted to escape. Mara came to his as- sistance and getting behind Heffernan took his club from Bim and deat him over the head with It. Chicago First Grain Fleet.

An important event and one of more than ordinary interest to the Catholic people of St. Louis will take place on Sunday, April 23, 1893, the ceremony of laying the corner- stone of the new St, Joseph’s Asylum, corner of Grand avenue and Delor street. For nearly fifty years the old asylum, Fit. teenth and Olark avenue, has furnished a home for the orphan boys of the city, and by the energy and charity of the Board of Managers, aided by the self-sacrifice, indus- try and labor of the good Sisters in charge, — 7 3233 vs — — cared for g that time; ot an pared for life’s battle. e = The enerous-hearted and charitable people of St. Louis have never failed to re- spond tothe appeal of this old institution for help to support its inmates and provide for their welfare As population increased, the calls on the charity of the institution increased corres- pondingly and the house was often pressed to accommodate the applicants for admis- sion owing to the limited room. It has been evident for some time thatthe building was unfit for use any longer. Wing was added to wing in past years, hoping to meet the growing wants of the increasing population till the original old structure was merged into several, all of which are occupied and often overcrowded. The Board of Managers, viewing with regret this condition, and taking into consideration the dilapidated and even dangerous con- dition of the old structure and the constantly increasing cost of keeping it repaired, re- solved to build new asylums, all modern improvements an ample room for all worthy applicants for admission into the asylums, A tract of land containing thirty-two acres was purchased at the place above named and the erection of anew asylum wascommenced during the winter, Slow progress has been made up to this time on account of unfavorable weather, but work is now being pushed forward anda complete asylum within this year will be oc- cupied by the orphan boys. The thousands of friends of the orphans will be glad to hear this news and doubtless will flock to the grounds on the 23d inst. to witness the ceremony of laying its corner stone, and voice by their presence their yoyo and aid tn accomplishing it. The Oak Hm & Carondelet Steam Railroad will be prepared on that day to convey vis- itors to the western part of the ground on the 28d, leaving Union Depot at 1:15 o’clock and 2vu'clock p. m., returning at 6:04 and 6°30 p. m., and the California avenue branch of the provide ample transportation for all persons wishing to zo by that route toa point within three blocks of the ground. a BEAUTY FREE FOR ONE Akt Fill out this eoupon and bring it to MME.

From a sweet whisky unch, diluted at first to be palatable to the delicate feline taste,he rapidly increased the strength of his tipple until he drank whisky straight in as large quantities as he could obtain it.

A large seat sale from both town and sub- urban theater-goers prefaces the engage- ment of O. B. Jefferson, Klaw & Erilanger’s Country Circus, which has its frst pro- duction in this city at the Olympic Theater to-night. The mammoth organization ar- rived last night by special train of seven Cars, and the large corps of machinists are Dusily engaged in getting the stage of the theater in shape for its presentation. A con- ception of its magnitude can be gleaned from the fact that 400 people and 100 horses and ponies are used in its presentation. The **Oountry Circus’’ is described as comedy andcircus. The latter is an incident natur- ally devolved out ofthe development of the story and supplemental toit, and the inter- est of the story is deftly interwoven amid the daring acts ofacrobatic and the poetic pos- ing of graceful equestriennes. The comedy tells of life ian the Cape Cod region and is dult of tlaughable and entertainingjncidencts, while the char- acterizations a delightfully quaint and heart-warming. The story deals with the a young. girl, a great deal of experience with new plays, and her husband, r. Cutting, the wealthy New Yorker who gave up a place in the front rank of society leaders to become an actor, has for years made a cli udy of the modern drama. With a view o certaining Mrs. Cut - ting’s opinion of modern American plays and theatrical companies,a call was made upon her at the Grand Opera-house. She had just left the stage after the third act, in which her 28 of Killing the Czar had been frustrated by her official husband, who had administered to her a dose of opium, the only means by which the energetic Helene would be reduced to a condition of innocuous desuetude. ‘‘Well, I am tired, said she, dropping into a chair and unfastening a handsome corsage bouguet, ‘‘when I sank down overcome by the potion 1 felt as if lI would have liked to remain quiet for an hour. As to moders American plays I have had a good deal of experience with them, It is a peculiar fact that in my five years on the stage, during which time I have appeared in @ great variety of characters, ranging from that of a soubrette to that ofa Nihilist, I have never appeared in any piay that was not from the n of an American author. Our playwrights, considering the circumstances, are as — 1 as those of any other country. The reason that we have no great plays is because we have no great actresses. In my opinion, a truly great actress should be able to handle any part, whether in comedy or tragedy, save only that of a soubrette. Were there great actresses onthe stage, authors could write sucha work as they desire, being certain that it would be properly tnterpreted. not to be seen again until late the next day. If refused, he becomes offended and in high rage, much resembling a tempest, it must be admitted, vacates to the low dungeon known as the coal-bin to sleep off his spree, only to appear the next evening looking very rocky.“ How long this feline drunkard can continue this mode of living without succumbing to delirium tremens or some worse fate can only be proved in time. And this animal they wanted to name Tempest after the demure little artiste. Her objections are not at ali strange. The Uni versity of Michigan Glee Clubs. The large audiences which have attended the college concerts given by the University of Michigan the past two seasons will be de- lighted to read the announcement of their concert, to be given in Entertainment Hall on Friday evening, April 21. The niversity of Michigan clubs have fairly won their way to popularity in St. Louis by the excellence of their music, which bas all the flavor of college life; the songs are sung as on the college campus;] the Danjog are plunk-et-plunked and the guitars twanged with the vim which young college men put into all of their amusements, There isa mave and a go“ to the Ann Arbor Club that Keeps the audience inter- — from the opening cheer to the closing yma.

The epidemic was most alarming when I was in Scotland, eighteen months ago, but thank~ to this dis- infectant, I managed to pass :hrough the plague in safety and was able to abandon my been crowded to witness the production of the new ballet, ‘‘Chicago.’’ It is a dad principle to anticipate. I had designed in my own mind just what I thought a ballet with the above titie ought to be. I saw the first scene; time, sixty or seventy years ago, laid on the flats by Lake Michigan, the sun setting behind the Indian encampment, the chief smoking the calumet of peace with the first Irish settler (perhaps even the well-known Capt. Prendiville himself, who has watched the progress of Chicago fromits birthup toits present state of maturity). Then on the stage would be enacted the building of the wooden Chi- cago, the first railway through it, and so on. Then whata gorgeous and dramatic spec- tacle the great fire would be! After that would come the new Chicago, with its tow- ering buildings of iron and stone, Nothing is impossible in ballet, and the stock-yards, with plenty of red light thrown on, would be simply ‘‘killing.’’ The grand finale, of course, would be the World's Fair. But when the curtain went up I found, to use an Irish- ism, that they began atthe end and didn’t go any farther. The scene is not Chicago it - self at all, butacorner of the Exhibition, where we have the good old fashioned meet- ing of nations, which is dragged into every pantomime in the country. It now rests with the Empire to show what they can do, for as much rivalry exists between that es- tablishment and the Alhambra as prevalis But under 9 circumstances this is impossible. The eading lady of each company hasa particular line of character in which she excels. Of course she has her clientele among the theater-goers, and in a great measure, controls the class of plays which her manager can venture to put upon the stage, It is required that the play should be suited to the actress, for we have now no actresses who can adapt themselves to any character, This is bad for the author, and particularly pad forthe actress. The former cannot follow the dent of his genius, but must write to suit the peculiar abilities of some actress. The latter by being confined toa certain line of character loses what versatility she may have possessed. It is a well-known fact that no one can think of presenting any play, no matter how good, to Mr. Daly with any chhnce ofits being ac- cepted ifit is not suited to Miss Rehan’s style. The same can be said of Mr. Frohman and Miss Georgie Cayvan, although I believe that he will svon break away from this rule, if he has ng already done 80. This system I believe to be the great drawback tothe growth of the Amer- ican stage. It putsa sort of ball and chain on the author, and prevents the develop- ment of the abilities of the actress, who when she has made a hit is cast and recast in roles similarin their character, and hag no real chance of showing what she can do in other lines. By the way, I wish that you would correct a popular misapprehension. It is generally belleved that ‘My Official Wife,’ was written especially for my hus- band and myself. The circumstances connected with our wy ty lent a sem- blance of probability to this, but there is no truth init. The ry was written before I was married, and before I was under my present contract. I was with Mr. Pitou when **Yellow and Blue “““) Carm U. of M. “Arion Waltzes 50 .

A critic remarked to me that the ballet was as highly colored as the reports which have reached us of the exhibition, but having already been over the Worid's Fair, I was able to inform him that nothing could ex- aggerate the magnitude of that gigantic undertaking. Oyrene, a fantastic American dancer, is also appearing at the Alhambra; in fact, Londoners who cannot get over to the States this spring have plenty of consola- tion inthe American attractions brought to their own doors.

By having the chandelier outlets on a separate circuit one of the petite and ornate mall candle power arc lamps could be em- ployed in the reception hall, parlor and dining room. The smail arc lamp ts of nom- inal 400-candie power and consumes current 1 to from four tosix 16-candle power S0-vyoltiamps. Soitis obvious that as soon assomefew details of construction of the lamps are improved upon arc lamps of small candle power are, for economic reasons, likely to be quite generally employed. At the recent National Electric Light Con- vention held in this city perfect gems of are lamps were displayed. They were all, how- ever, designed to burn on the direct current system, whilst the alternating current is the System employed exclusively in St. Louls. The chandelier outlets should always be con- trolied by a switch and the lights in recep- tion dall at least so wired up that they can be controlled from two or more points. When lightsare placed in the cellar itis Gesirabie to have one or more of them con- trolled by a switch placed at the head ofthe cellar stairs and a like arrangement for the attic lights, the switch to be located at the most convenient point.

In the East, more than in the West, dec- orative effects in small candte power lamps are growing in favor, and, when the lamps are arranged artistically, with picturesque effects, the result is pleasing in the extreme. ' A growing feature in the employment of the electric current for household purposes is the introduction of culinary devices and household utensils whichcan be heated by the electric current. To maintain them in constant service would involve great ex- pense, butthe advantage of being able to employ them in cases of emergency makes them worthy ofinterest and consideration.

This caused some interruption in pedestrian travel between the coast quar- ters of the two places, which are connected by land. As it was impossible to erecta bridge on account of navigation and ferries could not be used during the time of a low tide, a rolling bridge or rolling ferry has been con- Structed. It is the only one of its kind, which is undoubdtedly aue to the fact that only peculiar physical conditions could make such a bridge athing of necessity. In this way a sort of movable platform, or a small section of a bridge, travels on wheels over a subdmarine from one shore to the The ralls are laid on a embankment ata gauge of 12 feet, which gives sufficient support to the platform to maintain its equl- librium in the severest storms. The platform itself measures about 21 feet, and rests ona trestle 35 feet in height. A steam engine stationed at one side of the shore pulls back and forth an endless cable, which moves the bridge along from shore to shore. -— NOVEL TELEPHGNE CALL It Takes the Place of th) Ordinary Mag- netic Call Bell. A special arrangement for a telephone call has been used with the Siemens bipolar tele- phone instead of the usual magnetic call bell. This device, known as a siren call, contains a brass cylinder of which two soft iron seg- ments diametrically opposed form a part. This cylinder is rapidly revolved by means of a crank and train of gears connected to the armature. The Flectrical Engineer of Lon- don describes the action of the mstru- ment as follows: This rotation causes a rapid introduction and removal) of the armature from the magnetic field below the soft iron pole pieces, and a corresponding magnetic change in their cores which affects the home as well as the distant telephone diaphragms, setting them both into vibra- tion. In general the sirenlike sound emitted aver 5 * E32„525 546% vr = 2 10 ; 5 Myf ir YY & UW CMU WWW — — — =, MMT: WLS TA. Siemen’s Siren Call for Telephones. by the telephone alone is quite sufficient for the purpose ofa telephone cali; but the the small bullet which is attached tothe cord must be kept resting onthe diaphragm; it is brought into violent movement by the vibra- tion of the latter, and acts as an intensifier of the telephonic sound emitted. The armature if left to itself would take up a position across the fleld below the poles, and weaken the magnetic held through the diaphragm. In order to avoid this, when the telephone is used for conversation, it is necessary that the armature be always brought into tts neutral position and locked there. This is done by aspecial spring catch droppinga pin into a pinhole, which arrests the arma- tare inthe proper position. Whena call is given, this pin is first drawn out of action by acam witha milled head, which, together with the crank handle for rotating the arma- ture, projects outside the telephone casing. The Utilization of Old Tin Caps. In the suburbs of great cities an industry has sprung up, having for its object the recovery of the solder used in making and sealing tin cans. In conseqyence the formerly despised and useless tin can has acquired sufficient commercial value to rescue it from the back lot dumping ground and garbage scow. Unger the present system*of street clean- ing, New York City’s refuse is loaded on scows from docks located at convenient in- tervals along the river front and then taken to sea and dumped. These docks have double decks, the upper projecting sum ciently to allow the contents of acart to fall upon the middle of the scow, and be distrib- uted by the trimmers who keep the vessel on an even keel. The trimmers also select everything of value with the greatest care; rags, fat, bone, metal, paper stock, etc., being stored on the lower deck of the dock. The silver and jewelry form no small item of the contractors’ profit, and the total value of a scoW load is estimated at an average of $200. The space between the dock platforms ts often closed in with odds and ends, and the interior converted into a miserable habita- tion by the trimmers, men and women, who thus herd together, their supplies being drawn from the dump. These dumping docks are the principal source of supply for the industry and a wagon load of tin cans can be bought at such places for $4 or $5. The furnace is an old soap boiler, into which a few sticks are thrown; the bowl 1s then filled with cans, a quart of kerosene poured over them and ignited. The heat developed by the oil is not great enough to attack the tin, but melts the sol- der, which flows to the bottom of the bowl. The solder recovered from a load of cans av- erages forty pounds. After this process 1s com pleted the red scrap is sold to make what is called ‘‘acida.’’ In a large open vat containing waste acid, ferric sulphate, sulphuric or hydro- chioric acid, the scrap Is thrown and allowed to remain until the tin is stripped from the iron underneath; more scrap and metallic iron is added until the so- lution is neutral. The tin thus dissolved is used asa basis for the preparation of stan- mates or other tin compounds used by dyers. The iron plate is rolled into balls for melt- ing, the ferrous sulphate purified and sold as commercial copperas, and the remaining acid used in repetition of the process. A Costly Waste. One of the most costly pieces of property in the United States now lying idle is probably the great ratiroad bridge over the Peeos River, 200 miles west of San Antonio. This bridge, which is said to be the second highest in the world, was com- leted six months aso at a cost of $1,200,000, t was bullt by a private corporation for the use of the Southern Pacific Co., says the En- gineering and Mining Jvurnal. in addition to this bridge a railroad track leading to it was bullt, shortening the distance between San Antonio and El Paso by eleven miles. After the bridge and cut-off railroad had been com- pleted they were visited b President © FP. Huntington and a number of other prominent officials of the Southern Pacific Company., and the new 1 was — A accepted. In a short time a new time table was issued by the Southern Pa- cific, embracing the new cut-off and the Pecos bridge. ickets were issued for that road via Southern Pacific and Pecos bridge, a fare of 530 cents being charged every passenger over the new bridge. After all this had been arranged trains were started running over the new route, and the announcement was made that the track of the old route through the danger- ous canyons of the Rio Grande River was to betaken up. But trains had been run- ning over the new bridge only two weeks when the order came from Presi- dent Nuntington to abandon the new bridge track and immediately resume tra me via the old route. Since that time not a train bas crossed the new bridge. There is much speculation in railroad circles as to the cause of thissudden and wholly unex- ors action on the part of sident Huntington. The solution wen by some is that President Huntington a small stockholder in the company which bridge, and that alter giving * te * Re 7 0 * wy, 7: 4 1 3 er e e e e e ibe ROR rr 322 — the | ** e „ne rn. a” , ee Seer two weeks SD b vinced 0 Ts ; ; * nH ' 1 * 15 1 1 e. if not used the Southern Formulas for Colored Fires.

A great number of people have but a very obscure idea of the principle of the arc and incandescent lamp, respectively. It may be stated that in the arc lamp electric discharge takes place between two pieces of hard con- ducting carbon, separated from each other by an interval which is kept as nearly as pos- sible constant by automatic devices. Anarc of light of intense brilliancy, called the vol- taic arc, is thus obtained. The carbons, being ralsed to an exceedingly high temperature and exposed to the air, suffer waste by com- bustion, and hence require renewal. There is also a transference of particles in the direction of the current, the negative carbon increasing at the expense of the positive one. With the view of obviating inconveniences arising from this cause, arrangements are often made for alternating the direction of the current. It is desirable both for the dit - fusion oflight, and for thelessening of its other rise painful and injurious intensity, thata globe of ground glass should be used. In the glow or incandescent lamp, a filament of carbon inclosed in a globe exhausted ot air by a mercury pump serves asa path along which the currefit passes. The resistance the electricity meets with in passing through this flament is sufficient to raise the latter to incandescence, anda light is thus obtained more suitable for domestic purposes and the illumination of interiors generally than that afforded by the arc lamp. Eig ish Whaleback. One of the novelties of the past year in ship- building is the turret deck steamer built by W. Doxford & Sons of Sunderland, England, Which is practically a modification ofthe whaleback type now largely used onthe great lakes. Inthe only vessel of this design yet bullt the hull is shaped like most other ves sels from keel to water line, but from the water linethe shell is rounded off upward and inward untilit terminates at the upper deck level in an upright structure, misnamed a turret, running fore and aft. The vessel has no sheer, the deck reaching in a perfectly straight line fore and aft. The plating, ranning inward from the water line tothe turret deck, is thick and strong like that of the hull proper, so that the whole skin of the vessel above and below is ofthe same thickness. The engines are placed aft, as in whaleback steamers, so that from the engine-room to the forecastle there isa long, continuous hold, interfered with only by the necessary Dulkheads. The boat’s accommodations for engineers and crew are allabaft the engine-room, but the captain and officersare placed as usual under the bridge forward. Tempering Large Armor Plates. A new process of tempering a fourteen- inch Harvéyizing armor plate was tested at Bethlehem, Pa., recently. Heretofore this was done by ejecting ice water agalnst a red hot plate in a vertical position, with the re- sult that the water was made boiling the in- stant it touched the upper endof the plate, and the heated water running down did not have the proper effect on the rest of the plate. In the new process the plate was laid down in a specially prepared frame, ihe water was made ice cold by treating it with salt, and was then led to a large sprinkler lowered within one foot ofthe plate. The water was forced through the sprinkler under great pressure, while the under side of the sprinkler was kept cool by water running over it froma fixed spigot. The sprinkling continued for one and one-half hours, and the plate Was then taken by acrane and iin- mersed in the oil baths, there to remain thirty hours. The government officers pres- ent ~ tees the new process as highly suc- cessful. Gutta Percha From Leaves. If the statement of Mr. Serullas of France may be relied upon, the gutta-percha indus- try may be almost revolutionized. From ex- periments made by Mr. Yungfleisch, in Java, he finds that theraw material may be ob- tained from the leaves of the iseondra tree, instead of from the trunk, asat present. By the old method a tree, at the cost of its life, gives four ounces of the material, while by the new method, every six months 200 pounds of the dried leaves may be takep from the tree without injury, which yield 8 to 9 percent of the raw material; this material tested in a laboratury in Paris, was reporte to be true gutta-percha. The yearly supply from a full-grown tree is from 382 to 36 ounces instead of one-half ounce, as from the old method. Even of withered leaves from a tree whose trunk will yield no more juice one-half as much material can be obtained as from live trees. Trees 4 to 5 years old yield 9 ounces from one harvest or leaves. He states that old trees wHich are of no use to the natives at present can yet be made, by this means, to yield a large amount. No More Incrusted Boilers. Written for the SUNDAY Post- Dispatcu. At a recent meeting of the Scientists’ Asso- ciation of Saxony one of its members recom- mended the use of carbonic acid in its liquid state asa preventative against incrustation of bollers. The boiler which is to be treated is filled with cold water, into which carbonic acid is allowed to flow from a receptacle nearby. As soon as the water has become thoroughly permeated with the acid it dis- solves the carbonate of lime, which is the principal cause of the crust forming around the boiler, and precipitates the parget with which It is allied without the least Injury to the inner sides of the boiler.

Museum in Copenhagen, which is so well known and renowned for its excellent and admirably arranged collections of Northern antiquities, contains a number (19) Of akind of musical instrument called the “‘lur’’ (the u pronaunced like oo in poor), which date back to the bronze age, and which have all been found in bogs, as have also so many others of the old treasures cnntained in that interesting museum. A few instruments of the same kind (8) have been foGnd in provinces in Sweden formerly belonging to Denmark, and five have been found on the Baltic coast of Germany nearest to Denmark. There is notbing like this in- strument elsewhere in the world. An instru- ment used in parts of the East Indies at the present day is the nearest approach, in some respects, but it varies very materially from the ‘‘lurs.’’ The outward appearance of the ‘‘lur’’ is represented in the adjoining cuts. Itis gen- erally six or seven feet long, twistedin two planes perpendicular on one another, and furnished with an ornamental collar at the butt or farther end. It is cast from a kind of bronze, only one to one and a half millimeters thick. (Could we do this at our present day?) To increase the difficulty of construction, it is perfectiy con- ical from end to end, cast in pieces, and joined together as indicated in the adjoining illustrations and, as already stated, of a twisted shape. All the instruments of this kind found out- side of Denmark are more or less frag- mentary. Of the specimens inthe Danish ' Bronze Lurs. collection ten are whole, and of these again six have just been slightly restored under the auspices of the author and mu- sical critic, Angul Hammerich, who has caused some artist musicians from the royal chapel to experiment with and practice on the restored specimens, with the very interesting result that these can now be played upon and emit tones as pure, strong and soft as when they were first touched with human lips, between 2,000 and 3,000 years ago. Well may we wonder at the constrictive skill, the r fect knowledge of acoustics and the state of civilization in those remote times evinced by these old instruments. It is, of course, the preserving power of the bog water which we may thank for the perfect preservation of these unique instrumen The bogs in which the.*lurs’’ and so many other interesting objects from northern an- tiguity have been found have, of course, at the time af deposit of the objects, been lakes or nds. How the objects came to placed here may de subject to varying surmises; the most probable is that they have been sunk down in such places to protect them from some invading enemy. Some authorities on this kind of subjects hold tothe opinion that the objects have been brought as sacrifice to friendly or unfriendly gods, which supposi- tion also seems quite likely. The instruments arealways found tn pairs and twisted in opposite directions, indicat- ing that they have been blown two and two together. This is so much more certain as the specimens of each pair harmonize with one another, while each pair varies more or less from every other pair in quality of tone, etc. It was formerly believed that the e when played upon, were resting over the player’s neck and shoulders. They have occasionally been thus represented by artists. This Mr. Ham- merich has proved to be a mistake. They were carried or held free in front of the players, with the orna- mental butt collars facing one another, when the players were blowing them, standing or marching side by side, in which position the instruments balance easily aud make a very odd and striking ap- pearance,as of two gigantic and fantistically twisted horns of some fancied animal. A few days ago the writer of this communl- cation had the good luck and great pleasure to attend a fascinating lecture on the Furs,“ by Dr. Hammerich, accompanied by experiments of two artist musicians, at the grand old style Knights’ Hall of the National Museum in Copen- hagen. Not only were military sig- nals blown with great effect, but entire small compositions were performed. It was indescribably interesting to listen to the per- formance of an air from one of our most popular romantic plays. The intelligent reader with a measure of imagination may to some extent realize the impression it must convey to hear fanciful music per- formed on instruments which some 4,09 years ago were used at strange temple ser- vices, or on trlumphal war marches, or as accompaniment ot the songs aud recitals of the heathen bards or scalds at the courts of kings ana chiefs, or at great national feasts. W hat an attraction it would be for the vis- itors to the Columbian Exposition at Chicago if their ears could be feasted with actual music or musical tests from instruments 2,000 or 3,000 years old But this will hardly come an attempt will secure the bait, dut our Danish authorities will hardly give their permission, and who cah wonder!

The camera lucida, that wonderful instru- ment invented by Wollaston in 1804, as well as the numerous improvements that have been introduced into it, still leaves much to be desired, in consequence of the disagree- able phenomenon of parallax that is produced in all the apparatus now in use, says La Nature. This phenomenon, which is due to the different distances that separate the eye from the object and the pencil, is completely suppressed in the pew camera lu- cida of Commandant H. Blain. Moreover, it is always possible to proportion the light of the paper and that of the image that is pro- jected upon its surface. It suffices to vary the intensity of the light furnished by the silvered mirror by placing a platinized mir- ror opposite it. The hemerograph, for such is the name of the new instrument, isa very practical de- vice that can be used without the least study. The drawing can be done without hesitation, the eye accommodates itself to all distances, and the point of the pen¢ill and the image are always seen very dis The field of this a ratus is in is used in a horizontal as well as 1 direction and at variable angles. a . > 3 > 4 * 7 111 erty * 5 * dy = . to give @ rotary potion { Pim tee 6, dn 1 wn 8 a * “2 - pA 8 n 1 . 1 7 1 5 K 88 Fr QUAINT THINGS AND QUEER CUSTOMS, COMPILED FoR THE SUNDAY l DISPATCH. as te M.

Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Gold and silver are no longer the precious metals of the world. An ounceof silver is worth about 83cents, an ounceof gold as a rule $20.

Osmium, a brittle metal usually found with platinum, costs $35 per ounceand iridium $40. Ruthen- ium, whichis very hardand brittle, brings $82 per ounce, and niobium, also called columbium, first found in New London, Conn., is a very rare metal, discovered in an. ore or oxide, is rated at $100 per ounce Yttrium, covered by Woehler in 1828. is a metalofa grayish black color, with a per- fectly metallic luster, which is very rare.

A bet may be safely entered that nobody ts able to grab with his mouth a piece of sugar placed on the back of a chair, as illus- trated by the accompanying cut, the operator in question resting with his knees on the lower bar of the chair, and his arm against the center of the back. At the moment at which he bends forward to catch the sweet, the chair goes down in front and the sugar rolls off. It can only be done by keeping the point of gravita- tion well to the rear, and not everybody is acquainted with that fact, nor knows how to properly distribute his weight to make the feat possible. « Tne Magic Eye- Glass.

Many a wiser animal than he under the circum- baby -hippopotamus, having title when she was born into thls world at the menagerie some three years ago. The name was appropriate enough then, but it doesn’t fit very well now. Hippopotamuses grow very fat, and Fatima, who has beeh an extraordinarily healthy infant, has sprung up likea weed. Abouta year ago the very curious fact was noted by animal philoso- phers that the physical proportions of Caliph; Miss Murphy and Fatima were in the | ratio of 4, 2 and 1. That is, Caliph was twice as large as his wife, and Miss Murphy twice as large as her daughter. This arith- metical progression was well illustrated whenthe animals stood side by side, with Miss Murphy in the middle. A straight line | At present, however, Miss Marpay and Fatima are of about the same size, and this Is the cause of Caliph’s perplexity. His doubt - An Afectionate Kiss. from the rest of the family. One partof the Gividing partition consists of thick boards placed close together and the other part of a series of palings about a foot apart. Caliph observes his family through these palings. In the past his affection for his wife has been marked. He has followed her around duti- fully whithersoever she would lead. In the open air tank he would wallow by her side all day long, and could not eat his meals in ace unless he fed off the same pile of grass hat his wife did. As for Fatima, she could roam around at pleasure unnoticed by her father. Attheendof the summer vacation Caliph could not be induced to enter the Car- nivors home untill Miss Murphy had gone on before. Taking all these evidences of affection into account it is rather surprising to observe bat Caliph devotes mostof his attention at present to his daughter. He caresses her tenderly through the paling partition at every opportunity, while Miss Murphy stands by unheeded. The hippopotamus’ method of kissing is interesting. he one who does the kissing (the male, of course) opens his a vs to the fullest extent. In Caliph the ex- tent is something er 2 feet, so that when he is ready to kiss may see a considera- bie distance down his throat. The female hippopotamus then opens her mouth slight- ly, only about 1 foot orso, and rests her lower lip on that of the male, The latter closes his mouth gently and holds the other's lower lip tenderly fora moment. The kiss is then over. During the progress of these delicate atten- tions. Miss Murphy has exhibited no sign of jealousy. In fact, it may be fair to assume that she feeis a certain sense of pleasure that her spouse has shown such an apparent change of heart toward his offspring. Fatima, for her part, appears to enjoy these marks of paternal regard. But as for Caliph, it is very likely that he has mistaken his daughter for his wife. At times he seems to think that he has made a mistake. On sev- eral occasions he has been detected lookin curiously from the one to the other, asi comparingthem closely. But he invariably ends by kissing Fatima. Toone who has observed this hippopota- mus family carefully during the past two years, itis especially remarkable that such an error should be made. For, although Miss Murphy and Fatima areof about the same size, there is a good deal of difference be- tween their facial expressions. The sides of Fatima’s mouth curve] up until they almost reach her eyes, and this gives her a look of supreme joy. Miss Murphy, on the other hand, is inclined to appear solemn. Perhaps matters may be straightened out and Caliph may observe these broad distinctions when the family is reunitea in the out-of-doors tank this spring. A LILIPUTIAN ELEPHANT.

Not since the days of Louis XV., when the Ancien Regime was in the height of its splendor, had anything ofthe Kind been devised that was so magnificent in all respects, The dresses and the diamonds, the balls andthe dinner parties, the floral decorations of the great festivities ($12,000 having been expended for fowers on one occasion alone) all went to make upa dazzling whole. What has become of the hostand the hostess,to say nothing of the belles and beaux of that brilliant epoch? Socially speaking, the Imperialist set has retired into silence and solitude as the old Legitimist nobles did long ago. After the close of the Franco-Prussian war, when once matters social become straightened out and settled down, there came a certain revival of gayety in the two rival sets, thatof the Bonapartists as well as in that of the Royalists, Tite former was headed dy the Duchess de Mouchy, by birth the Princess Anna Murat, The Count de Paris was permitted at that time to residein France, and his wife was the recognized leaderin all Legitimist cir- cles. Occasionally the two sets met at some neutral house, and then an amusing contest was sure to ensue as to which of the two rival queens should lead the german, At one of these balls the Duchess and her partner took the floor all ready to start as soon as the music should strike up. But the Countess de Paris and her Gancer whirled off in a waltz before the musicians gave the signal to begin and so secured the preference. In those days there was still a vast amount of vitality in the pretensions of both the rival factions. The Count de Chambord was not only alive and well, but it was a recog- nized fact that at one moment he had stood with one foot on the step of the throne, and that only his own feeble- Prince William of Luxemburg suitor, His bride is the tt daughter of the late Don 1, who had to quit his throne in 1834, and died ia Princess Marie Anna of Braganza, a 0 always been considered as a desirable Miguel of Bragansa, ex- King of Portuga 1866.

N She was too young at the period of the downfall of the em- pire to count amo the represen- tatives of its vauishe@ glories. Moreover she has openly declared that her drawing- room is not to be considered as a political center. She has up tothe present time en- tertained but little, owing to a series of deaths which have kept her family and ber- selfin mourning. The first of these was the sudden demise of her fragile little sister-in- law,who only survived the birth of her child, a daughter, for three weeks, dying, it would seem, from sheer lack of vitality and power to live. To be a princess and a millionairess, and to die at 28, seems a cruel decree of destiny.

Their son and daugh- ter-in-law, the Prince and Princess de Poix, do not entertain at all, There still remains genuine blood of the Bonapartes, who lives elegantly and receives largely in her beautiful home. This is the Princess Jeanne Bonaparte, Marguise de Villeneuve Esclapon, daughter of Prince Pierre, the slayer of Victor Noir, the **pastor brigand,’* as Rochefort desig- nated him. Her mother was the daugh- ter ofa workman of the Faubourg St. Antoine, and both she and her brother, Prince Ro- land, were born before the unionof their parents was definitely consecrated according to the laws of France. By turns, Princess, dressmaker and milliner, the mother of the Princess Jeanne struggled bravely but ineffectually to keep her children not as the scions of an imperial race ought to be maintained, but simply in ordinary com- fort. Often bread was lacking in the humble home. The daughter, who hed manifested a decided talent for art, tookto drawing for the illustrated papers. A once prominent Imperialist, who had retained some infiu- ence, procured for the boy admission to St. Cyr, the West Point of France. But better times were at hand.

Long since I have ceasea to reproach the weather. The weather is what it was made to be. It means well, but very little religious Advancement can be made this spring in Bouthern California. Pastors here tell me that they can see a noted falling off in Santa Harbara in the attendance at the Look Up Legion here and inthe Lenda Hand Society also since the weather fetched loose. There is a Home for Disabled Spiritual Vediums also at Santa Barbara, and this spring there has been a retrogression there bordering on Iconoclasm. At the Do Good Society’s parlors members now hold their umbrellas in their hands even through service instead of leaving them in the hall orinthe pastor’s study where they can drain into his last year’s sermons. Thus they are ruined, fora sermon should be kept perfectly dry. Ihave been given by Lieut. Chase of the army a vag ot seed from the sequoia trees of the State. Hesays they will grow easily in North Carolina. I will plant them there, and friends are invited tocome there when they mature, in 6.000 years from this spring, and we willhavea basket picnic, after which I will speak. The sequoia is like a number of men I have met here—chiefly remarkable for having been here first. Isubscribed last week $5 for the relief of a man who frankly admitted that, aside from that, there was nothing whatever the matter with him. a I visited another ostrich farm the other day. I can hardly keep away from this strange bird. Ostrich eggs are worth $156.75 perdozen. They are good to eat, and six of them will make a man a meal. The ostrich cannot be got by means of the horse. He never runs. He just walks; but, oh, how they doemerge from where they were and arrive elsewhere n They also do not run away ina bunch, but scatter at once in every direction,so that the swiftest rider is bewildered. The bird seems to raise the head, shrug its shoulders, and with scarce a feeling of interest in the chase it just simply swaps time for distance like a telephone. The only way to catch the ostrich is to ap- to its appetite which is its only intellect, ite brain and its body are as unequal as The Toy Cowboy. gilist.

Witha bottle of diamond dye and a quart of cracked wheat she would surprise even people who have lived in New York and who Know almost everything. The birds are good to eat, and the second joint will relieve the pangs of hunger for hours. The ostrich has a wishbone that is often used to plow corn with or cultivate the soil ot the orange orchard, The kick ofan ostrich will split an oak stump or knock off $8 on a hotel bill here. One ofthem seemed quite fond of me and ate a large stuffed horned toad out of my pocket. I got so I could hold him dy one wing and feel of his plumes—the ostrich’s plumes I mean. They have a sort of graceful yet awkward walk, which some critics have charged me with when exiting from the stage. It is called the Sou- dan teeter. Here at Santa Barbaraa strange incident occurred not long ago. Gen. Burnett, the coast special agent for the pension bureau, told me about it. Anold pensioner and liv- ery and baggage man worth $60,000 was dis- covered to be drawing pension for the loss of an arm, while his widow in the East was drawing a pension also. It seems that the wife’s father had been the villain. He had given the wife notice by forged papers of the husband’s death and then assured the husband in like manner of the wife's death, so that after the war he had come to California alone, leaving his children in charge of the villainous grandfather, who had taken this method of educating the chil- dren in his church, the father being of an- other faith. The father soon after married here and for thirteen years has lived with his second wife, totally ignorant of the other wife’s existence. He could not, of course, succeed in getting possession of his children by his first marriage, but was blessed witha second crop of California chiidren, which answered every purpose. Imagine such a man in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara, surrounded by comfort and a new home whi beat the old one all to death, suddenly nfronted by a general pension sleuth hound with undoubted proofs of bigamy, bastardy and fraud upon the Gov- ernment! Where are our melodrama artists? Dothey read the papers or do they prefer European material adapted to this country? Imagine a veteran ofa great war, crippied by the loss ofan arm, who yet had the cour- age to fight tne battle of life all over again in loneliness and in a new world, past middle life now anc with the tears on his war-worn features, confronted with the charge that he has been for thirteen years a felon, yet innocent as I am of a wicked or impure thought! We had a little earthquake shock the other evening. They occurnow and again often enough, so that wooden buildings are the rule and stone or brick the exception. Red- wood is a good resister of these shocks and is used exclusively for the body of the building. It is very firm and seems made for that purpose. It is also almost fireproof; at least it smolders long enough before blazing so that any fire company can meander over to put it out at its leisure, I am told. Earthquake jars are quite common in Southern California and are often used in putting down apricots and other fruit. The prune grows well in this part of the State and is superior to the prune stone and glue pie prune ofthe East. The prune is like the codfish and the fresh young man—the further it gets from home the more offensive it becomes. We have here the toy cowboy, who is a ty- phoid ass on his father’s side. Some of them are from Harlem and some from Avenue Al. They ſuy horsehair bridles and ride one of those saddles made from a Mexican tannery. Their California clothes are shipped here from Market street, Philadelphia, for just such cowboys. Their courage comes from Kentucky and biteth like a serpent and sting- eth like an adder. Do I look drunk?’’ asked one of them the other evening of a friend of mine. No, Il think not, said the man kindly. All right, then, said the cow gentleman, unduckling his spurs and leaving them where they had caught in a lady’s trail. ‘‘I just wanted to know if I looked drunk. r FITZ INTERVIEWS THE c.
