For more than five months Kaiser and people have fought over the army bill with an obstinacy that marks both as heroes ofa newepoch. Germany is in travail with con- - Stitutional government. but the country is the same as always. During twenty years France and Germany have passed and re- passed each other in the race for military superiority. At each point in the contest the Weights they have carried have grown Dea vier, and now, under the double burden of service and taxes, Germany has laid down in the midnle of the path and refuses to budge an inch more. The most docile taxpayer, the most plastic subject of Europe, has revolted, and militarism all over the Continent will reel from the shock. Only Once before has the Reichstag flatly defied the Government, and that was on just this Question of the increaseof the army. That was many years back in Bismarck’s days, his t and last defeat. The new regime has Droken down, and the only resort was the Aissolution of the Reichstag. What will ‘Come afterwards no man can say, but the new elections promise no help to the Kaiser. Then either the Kaiser or the constitution must give way. The Emperor has authority, according to the constitution. to at any time dissolve the Reichstag, but the law says that a new election for members of the Parliament must be held within sixty days, and the session of the new legisiative body must begin within ninety Gays of the dissolution of the old Par- nament. The new elections will take place on the 15th of next month, according tothe rescript issued by the Kaiser to- day. The result of the vote caused no surprise Chancellor von Caprivi Waevering members to the support of the Measure by offering to reduce the peace ef- „ fective even below the number proposed in ut. offered by Freiherr vou he Ciel, however, did not gala a le vote. The House had made up its mind to reject the bill and the speeches made on the subject were addressed rather tothe electors than tothe Reichstag. The most striking feature of the closing debate wasthe resurgence of anti-Prussian senti- ments, and especially from the speakers of the Center party. THE PEOPLE'S PROTEST. Dr. Lieber, who is a leader in the councils ot his party, after attacking Chancellor Von Caprivi for having, as he put it, resorted to the worst form of Bismarckian methods to secure the passage of the bill, said: ‘‘The Center party Nghts against the ambitions of @ Centralizing Cwsarism. We protest against the millitarism which transiates itself in persistent endeavors to extend the prin- ciples of the Prussian State into the domain of Imperial legislation. In the interests of the Empire we demand that the Prussian policy be confined to the Prussian Diet, 0 while the German prevall in the Reichstags. ae " policy now pursued by that party had its in- Neither Chancellor von Caprivi nor Baron von Manteuffel, the Prussian conservative leader, attempted to respond to Dr. Lieber’s attack. All the speakers on the Government side simply ignored the expressions of antl- Prussian sentiment. The Chancellor com- mented vaguely upon the democratic tenden 258 des that have recently deen developing among the Centrists, and suggested that the in the Vatican, which, he said, was now the friend of republican France, and trying to draw the whole Catholic world in same direction.

The Kaiser has — Count Rotho von ‘| Eulenberg, the Russian Premier, to Pots- dum. Count Rotho von Eulenberg took the ce of Chancellor von Caprivi as Prussian mier about a year ago, when Chancellor Caprivi vacated that office owing to the de- cision of the Kaiser to withdraw the educa- tion bili from the Prussian Landtag. THE DEFEATED BILL. The bill which has caused so much discus- sion and was finally defeated inthe Reichs- tag, fixes the peace footing of the German army, including privates and corporals, on a yearly average at 492,068 men from Oct, 1 1898, to March 81, 1899. The infantry will be com posed ot 711 battalions, the cavalry of 477 squadrons, the field artillery of 494 batteries, the foot artillery of 87 battalions,the pioneers of 24 battalions,. the railway troops of 7 battalions and the train of 21 battalions. The avera strength is calculated on the prin- ciple that the infantry troops in general will go through two years’ active service with the colors The preamble set forth: That dy the law of March 11, 1887, the peace footing was fixed at 468, 400 men until March 31, 1694. This num- ber was increased to 486, 983 by the law of July, 1890, which came into force from Oct. Jof the same year. A new e legislative enact- ment is therefore necessary before 3 1. 1894. Meanwhile the political and mi itary situation has altered to our disadvantage — demands thorough reforms. The riority which we owed in the past to our deln nz the first to introduce the system of universal os to carry arms has dis- 2 for we. have been already out- — a by our neighbors in this direction. oes the universal ability to service — enforced by the law of July 1889, on the most sweeping scale. The aver- age ce footing of the French army during the last three years amounts to 519,000, the number of recruits for 1890, roughly speak- ing. of 230,000 men, andthe men trained in twenty-five years to about 4,058,000. Russia isequally active, and the peace footing of her army amounted in 1889to 926,000,in 1 to 987,000 men. Only about 100,000 men of the estimated strength are serving in Asia. The contingent of recruitsfor 1891 amounted to 281,000 men, 24,000 of whom Delong to Asia. In twenty- -three years the number of trained soldiers will thus amount to 4,556,000. In face of such a position we have only one means of preserving our safety and in- dependence. We must make full use of our national defensive ee We must have an organization whichabsorbs every really able bodied man, and then Germany can look forward without anxiety to an attack. The problem ca only be solved by retaining as far as possible the old framework, while we train within ita correspondingly higher number of able bodied men, This cannot — obtained except oY. sbortening the period of active service. his is no breach with the past. The constitutional three years’ service isto beretained in principle, but a shorter period is security is be more in the case of the infantr considered possible so long as offered that the training will thorough than heretofore, Reckoning the future annual contingent of recruits to be enrolled in the active army at 225,000 men, including 9,000 one-year. vol- unteers, and taking the total of twenty-four such annual contingents, with due allowance for the normal increase of population on the one hand and fora normal waste of 25 per cent on the other, it will be seen that Ger- many, when the new system has been fully developed, will show a total force of 4,400,000, thus overtaking France, who, moreover, has already reache.j the last limits of her ability to increase her fighting strength, and re- maining only slightly behind Russia. CAPRIVI’S APPEAL. In support of this measure Chancellor Oaprivi made a speech at the time of the bDill’s introduction which attracted the at- tention of all Europe. He called attention to the fact that the strongest proof of the necessity that Germany must strain every 1 herself from annihilation in neral war is found in the great belt of — cations which stretches its length from Calais to Besancon, and extends from the French frontier haif way back to Paris. For some two hundred miles the fortifications are close upon the border of the provinces an- nexed by Germany in 1871. Aside from the fortress at nw which is pushed up into the French corner next to Luxemburg, are Verdun, with a cita- del and eleven great forts extending over twenty-three miles; Toules, with ten forts, extending over twenty- four miles; Epinal, with eight forts, extending over twenty miles, and Belfort, which Moltke coveted for Germany in 1871, ‘with six forts, extending overtwenty-one miles, Between these great citadels of military strength are scattered some twelve or thirteen smaller forts,so that fromthe Swiss to the Belgian frontier not a sparrow can fall to the ground along Ger- many’s border without being within range of French cannon. All the larger forts are connected by double lines of unperground telegraph wires and by Gouble-track railways for the concentration ot troops, according to the location of the attack. The ground around them is cleared, so that every attacking force must advance over country affording no protection and swept by the guns of the garrisons. Accord- ing the importance of these positions, the forts are armed with twenty, firty or eighty guns ofthe latest patterns. At night wires strung with bells are stretched where they are least likely to be seen, sothatan ad- vancing force must give notice involuntarily ofitsapproach. Wires without Dells are also strung for the purpose of tripping advancing infantry and throwing into confusion ad- vancing cavalry. In addition to all this, the fortifications at such centers of strength as Belfort, Verdun, Toules and Epinal have armored towers with the heaviest guns. That nothing has been left undone to pre- pare these forts against every emergency is shown by the provision for a siege. All northwestern France is a fortified camp, such as no army ever attempted to storm or march through. Back of all these fortifica- tions France has a second line of defenses bardly less invulnerable than the first. But Caprivi’s appeal fell on unwilling ears, as recent events have shown. KANSAS BOODLE. Some Was Used, but Not by Populist Of- ficials Accused by Republicans. TOPEKA, Kan., May 6.—The Senate Com- mittee appointed toinvestigate the boodle charges preferred by the Republicans against the Populist administration finished its work this evening and filed with the Sec- retary of State a unanimous report, in which they say: **We report as to Gov. Lewelling, vate secretary, Frea J, Close, and Atty.- Gen. Little that we andro evidence showing that they received money for any official act or influence whatever, neither did they know ofthe use of any money to influence their own action in any manner whatever or to effect legislation or the appointment or elec- tion ofany officer whatsoever. From the evidence before us we believe that a sum of money, not less than $4,500 and probably equal to $6,700, was raised by Peter Kline of Kansas City, o., who had a 87 U to: in Kansas City, Kan., and paid him to James F.

James B. Eustis, American Ambassador to France, presented his credentials to President Carnot to-day, Mr. Eustis in making the presentation said: Recently the French Government elevated the rank of fts distinguished representative in the United States to that of bassador. My Government immediately responded to this initiative and conferred the same rank on its representative in France. I, therefore, have the honor tobe the frst Ambassador accredited from the United States to the French Kepublic. The change was in- tended by my Governmentas an additional manifestation of friendly disposition towards the French Repubiic. Representing the sen- timents of the American people, the Iillustri- ous citizen who is chief executive of the American Republic desires that the amica- ble relations existing for so long between the two governments should not only be main- tained but strengthened. Permit meto as- sure you thatto accomplishthe desired re- sult ray personal inclinations will lead me to contribute hearty co-operation. The ties of friendship between the French and the American people originated at a very early period in our history ,and the similarity of our political in - stitutions and forms of government should tend to unite the two peoplesin bonds of the closest sympathy. Fortunately,no event cana now be foreseen which can cause any differ- ences between the French and the American nations. Being a native of a section of my country once possessed by France, I feel not altogether a stranger to your language, your history and the traditions of your marvelous civilization. et affords me pleasure to convey the ex- pression of President Gleveland's high per- sonal esteem for your excellency, at the same time wishing to the French nation success and prosperity.’’ CARNOT’S RESPONSE. In receiving Ambassador Eustis President Carnot said in substance; »The Government of the French Republic in investing its representative in the United States with the highest diplomatic character, wished atthe same time to respond to the intention of the American Congress and to manifest the bigh sentiments of their friend- .

Be persuaded that we appreciate the choice made in your person of a citizen of a most dis tinguished origin to represent the United States. If there were not that origin the cordial sentiments of which you bring ex- pression would be an additional guarantee of the esteem and good wishes and sympathies which will serroand you in the course of your mission.’’ After that they shook hands, sat ona sofa and talked for a few minutes about the two great nations and the Chicago Exposition. When the Ambassador went out the band played Hail Columbia, under the belief that it was the national anthem, and Mr. Eustis was escorted back with the same pomp, feeling that it is a gratifying thing to be an Ambassador. WITH IMPOSING CEREMONY. The attendant ceremonies were imposing, and interesteda large portion of the popula- tion in Paris. Everything was finer und on a larger scale than at any introduction of a Minister. Jas. B. Eustis, the new Ambassa- dor, who has been staying at the Grand Hotel Rozardo, was prepared for the ordeal. He lunched in company with Allain Eustis, his brother; Mrs, Johnston, his sister; Mr. and Mrs. Dubois, nephewand niece, and some other relatives. At 2:15 exactly the escort that wasto take himto the Elysee arrived. This was the lece de resis. tance of the show. t consisted of a squadron of bh 224 Dragoons. As the cavalry came down the boulevard Des Italiens the hearts of the Americans swelled with pride. Unfortanately the streets were not sandea as they are usually and one horse fell with its rider. The dragoons have white metal helmets with red tufts and biack horse hair falling all the way down the back. They carry ‘lances bearing tri-colored pennants and ride ine brown horses. Only a troop of cavairymen goes for a minister. In the middie ot the squadron were two large car- Only one carriage is sent to bringa minister. After a halt the carriages entered the court-yard.

She confessed and named D. P. Moore, the Mayor of the town, as her paramour. Apperson did not upbraid his wife, but said that he would leave her and take his little boy with him, Shortly after this Moore, who is a married man, called at the house and Apperson fred two shots at him, one of which inflicted a painful but not fatalwould. Apperson was tried for assault with intent to kill, found gullty and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. The State Supreme Court has just confirmed the action of the lower court.

Rumored Confirmation of the Surrender of the Sartorius Brothers and Their Followers—The United State s Govern- ment Will Try to Prevent ths Sailing of the Filibusters—What a Tourist Saw While on the Islaad. Key West, Fla., May 6.—Adres-Peniche, a supposed Spanish spy, was expelled from the island last night. This morning a letter was received from him written on the steamer Mascott, containing a confession of his con- nection with the Spanish government and asking for mercy. To-day’s developments have shown tuat he threatened to raise a cry of fire during the big meet- ing last Thursday night in San Carlos hall, and during the excitement to shoot Delegate Jose Marti. Thursday morning he was seen entering the residence of the Spanish Minis- ter by a district leader and he was watched. At the meeting he was digarmed. Last even- ing he was escorted to th® Havana boat just before she salied and warned not to return to Key West. Now the Revolutionists are blaming themselves for not having made an example of him. This afternoon 4a feeling of resentment was apparent toward the Spanish Consul Pedro Solis. It was claimed that he had instigated not only Peniche, who was but a poor gambler, but others to betray the partx movements. Hurried meetings of the sixty-one revolutionary clubs, with head- quarters on this island, were held this even- ing and the following dispatch was sent to ali the clubs: The cigarmakers alone, connected with Partide Revelutionaire Cubaro in Key West, will furnish $20,000 and 1.

According the reports received from Havana dy to- niaht’s steamer the Insurrectioni sts in Purino and Unasy Velasco have surren- dered , and tke revolution is over. The large forces sent to the scene of the trouble by the Spanish government overcame the insur- gents without a battle. The leaders in Hol- guin according to present advices offered from the first to go in search of the few in- surgents, who went out on March 24. This object prevented assistance from friends in the provinces affected. There was but little thought of this movement in Holguin or Havana at any time. The following resolutions were received with joy in Havana to-day: The Cabinet will take all necessary precatsion to protect Cuba from an insurrection and has sents note tothe American Government at Washington to watch the movement of the revolutionary party and to preventany manifestations against the sov- ereignty of Spain te the island of Cuba, such has been reported from Key West, According to a dispatch to a Posr-Drisraron correspondent values have risen in Cuba since the close of the insurrection and there is general satisfaction that the Sartorius boys surrendered themselves. The Queen of Spain is reported to have expressed herself as satisfied that the army in Ouba is sum clent for all needs, but is firm in her determination to let no _ sacrifice interfere with the retaining of Cuba as a Spanish dependence. The following is the story of how the Sartorius brothers sur- rendered. A Government Commission com- posed of Senors Mire, Garcia, Leyba, Echa- varrie, Freis, Dores and the leaders of the Liberal party in Helguin met the boys by appointment and assured them of mercy The elder Sartorius said he had gone out into the country believ- ing the people would follow him in a strike for independence; found that the time had not arrived for a revolution and upon prom- ife of protection from the commission they both a to surrender and bring > their men.

Key West, Fla., May 6:—The news of the surrender of the Sartorius brothers is not confirmed by the Spanish authorities. A meeting to discuss the situation has been held in San Carlos Hall, which for magnitude and display of enthusiasm has never been surpassed. Jose Marti was the principal speaker. He admitted that there were chances for the failure of the present movement, and e- plained the causes that may lead to its early abandoument, but at the same time he set forth the fact that such a result can have no serious effect on the Cuban revolutionary party, which will work until Ouba is free.

Further Light on the Identity of the Pen- sion Claimant. SPRINGFIELD, III., May 6.—The alleged Wm, Newby, the story of whose remarkable life hao been fally told in the PosT-DisPaTcH is still in the jail here. Yesterday he was arraigned before United States Commissioner Kidd on a charge of at - tempting to procure a pension by fraud. He was held to awalit the action of the Federal Grand-jury. From pension officials fuller detatis of the evidence against claimant Newby were learned to-day. As told Posr- Disr ATR, when the claim for back pension was presented by Newby the officials at Washington, who knew that the record of his death at the battle of Shiloh was onthe booksofthe War Department, determined to fully investigate the case.

A. Collier of the 4ppeal-dva- lancheand Mr. E. W. Oarmack of the co mercial did not take place at Holly Springs this afternoon as expected, and the reason is as follows: When Mr. Oollier and party ar · rived at Holly Springs and the hour selected tor the meeting had arrived ur. Carmaex and friends had not appeared, Mr. Carmack having been detained here by his arrest. Instead of returning to the Criminal Court at noon to give a peace bond, which he had promised Judge Scruggs to do, Mr. Carmack, Mr. W. J. Orawford and other friends boarded a special train and left for Holly Springs. It seems that while on the * . 5 way Mr. Crawford telegraphed to Mr. Holmes 4 Cummins, the friend of Mr. Collier, that they would arrive at Holly Springs at 8 o'clock. Being detained en route, and the appointed hour having passed, Mr. Cummins, as the friend of Mr. Collter, called time, and the party boarded the train to er bi Mem- phis. As the train was about to pull out Case mack’s special train arrived and Mr. Oraw- ford held a brief consultation with Mr. N Cummins, asking the latter and his party to board the special train. Mr. Ca declined on the grqunds that Mr, and party were not on the ground at the ab- pointed time and that the authorities were prepared to arrest the parties, and * ou de useless to meet. Mr. Crawford explained that Mr. had been arrested and had been una | detained, and said that it was a cowardly trick. se N Nou must mes Mr. Cummins answered: say that.

The mar- . . * k * ONE THOUSAND PAIR NOTTINGHAM LACE CURTAINS at $2 Per Pair, — Te ae », an allowance to the riage means much more than is apparent on the surface. It means better business for the tradesmen and a firmer feeling of security all ground. It is about time that the English shopmen had a better season. What with the threatened invasion of cholera and the present World's Fair keeping Americans at home, with the recent mourning at court which prevented the usual buying, the trade ‘bas been ina bad way. Now, the outlook is ‘bright. The Queen stands in the relation of Parent towards all members of the royal family in matrimonial matters, but still, the official report says, she received the news of the betrothal and gave her con- Sent to it as an accomplished fact. This is quite in accordance with the spirit of the age. In former days a daughter’s hand, es- pecially if she were a royal princess, was sought through her parents. Nowadays the young folks settle things for themselves, an- nounce their decision and it is the business of the parents to merely consent. There is overmuch talk about Princess May being purely English and purely British. As a matter of fact, as everybody knows, she is almost purely German, with a German name and ciose German ancestry. she is in every- day life very nice to look at, although she seems to be quite the 26 years that are hers. These 26 years iend an unusual interest to the verse Aifred Austen has composed in her honor, however. Austenis one of the En- glish poets, who, it is whispered, might be induced to accept the vacant laureateship if sufficient pressure was brought to bear on him. Here is the first stanza: Lift up your gaze from the ground, Maiden, mourning too leng; Lift up your heart at the sound, The sound of a bridal song, And the new year briaging a living lover To banish the old year’s wrong. THE PRINCESS MOURNS. It has been a matter of general comment thatthe Duke of York has received a tele- gram of congratulation from nearly every member of royalty in Europe except his own mother. Indeed, it is whispered that the prolonged absence of the Princess of Waites, and especially her absence at the t moment, is due to her disapprovai of. proposed union between the Duke and ‘Princess May. It is singular that she of all persons should object, for it is known that she was mainly instrumental in bringing about the engagement with the Duke of Clar- ence and that she always regarded Princess May with almost as great affec- tion as her own daughter. Then, too, the marriage of her own sister, the Czarina, with the Czar, came about under precisely the same circumstances as this under which the Duke of York isto marry the Princess May, andthe union is notoriously the happiest ble. Hdéwever, the Princess has taken a melancholy turn since the death of her oldest son. Atone period last winter fears were entertained that she might become a victim to religious mania. She practically refused to be comforted, and change of scene was ordered to cheer her up. The provision made some four Parliament for the Prince of relieves the public of the necessity of voting oung couple. Under that arrangement the nee got a lump sum of $1,000,000 and an allowance of $160,000 on condition that no fyrther application should be made to Parlianfent either for his sons or Gaughters on their marriage. The Princess May has nota cent in her own right. It is expected that the Prince will settle $60,000a year on the Duke, who will also get a resi- dence in St. James Palace and probably a loan of one of the Queen’s country houses. The wedding is expected to take place in July after the Queen’s return from Balmoral it will be a semi-state affair at Windsor. The Princess May, who had made a number of public engagements to open schools, ba- Saars and so forth, has canceled them all. She will make her first appearance since the engagement at the drawing-room Tuesday. It is Just possible that all Americans do not Know that the Duke of York is the son of the Prince of Wales and grandson of Queen Vic- toria. He is better known as Prince George, the sallor prince. Princess May of Teck Was betrothed to the Duke of Clarence, the eldest sonof the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of York’s brother. The Duke of Clar- ence, whose nickname was ‘‘Collars and Cutts, died before the day set for the mar riage arrived.

In the morning, even before $ o’clock, people are out with their processions, always in the most crowded streets one has to pick his way among them, and queer demonstra- tions they make. All this only lasts during the early part of May, for the rest of the year there being no suggestion of the spirit that moves the religious community to make itself so much in evidence with the first com- ing of springtsunshine. At Exeter Hall, to- morrow, the greatest religious meeting of the century is promised. To-morrow is also the great labor day of London, andthe meeting of workmen wil! take rank with these religious gatherings. All Hyde Park will be given up to speech- making.

The opera season wili begin a week from Monday, with the new Paris tenor, Alvarez, and Mme. Melba as the leading soprano, atthe Savoy. The new opera with Canon Doyle and J. M. Barries’ libretto is set down for its first performance next Satur- day. The book is the story of a good and a bad girl. This couplet, sung by the good girl, — Dorothy Vane, gives the key note of the plot: The girl who ts good, demure, correct, Cannot preserve her self-respect. Inline with this the great Mascagni, not content with his honors as a composer, has made his debut as an author.

The cholera keeps marching on toward Paris, slowly and deliberately, but without halting. The Department of Finistere is ad- mitted by the French to be infected and every day brings reports of new cases in out- lying towns and villages. In Russia the Plague has assumed a more virulent type, while in Austria it is said to be subsiding. The International Medical Congress, which was to have met Sept. 24, has been postponed indefinitely on account of thecholera. The oficial reason given is that so many doctors will be engaged aboutthat time with the disease that they cannot attend the con- gress. This change itself speaks more loudly know. It would not be fair to forget to mention the weather in the weekly record. The skies have not been as blue as in New York in mid- summer, and the heat is almost August here. To-day makes the sixty-third day witbout real rain. The Majestic, which sailed Wednesday, carried as passengers James Gordon Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Sloane, the Rev.

Loxpox, May 6.—The discussion of the home rule bill will be resumed in the com- mittee ofthe House on Monday. Although the dreary waste of amendents has extended to the thirty-third page, the oppositition are far from being satisfied with the promise of delay. They had formed a plan to elaborate their obstructive tactics by means of thirteen so-called instructions, which, reduced to their essence, were nothing more or less than thirteen motions to render the whole meas- ure nugatory. Theirscheme was thwarted, however, by the speaker who immediately raled that the instructions were out of order. This ruling was a sad blow tothe hopes of Messrs. Balfourand Chamberlain, who had deen calculating upon wasting upon their motions two or three weeks of a committee’s time. Their only alternative now isto con- centrate their energies upon manufacturing, moving and discussing amendments. The situation created by the Speaker’s ruling was considered last evening by fortyU nionists representing Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamber- lain’s wings of the opposition. Mr. Balfour and Lord Randolph Churchill did most of the talking at the meeting for the Conservatives, Mr. Chamberlain, for the Ulster-Unionists, and Col. Saunderson for the Ulster-Loyalists. The most important decisions were that the Unionists oppose any attempt to exclude Ulster fromthe full operation of the bome rule bill, and that the Government should pass the Parnellite amendment providing for the retention at Westminster of all 103 Irish members instead of but eighty as pro- posed by the bill. The Unionists endeavor to make this retention conditional upon a redistribution of Irish seats. The attitude of Mr. Gladstone towards this amendment has been 80 variously stated that yesterday Justin Me- Carthy and John Dillon called upon the Premier to obtain from him an unequivocal declaration in the matter. They received from him positive assurancesthat he would not yield his determination to keep in the House 103 Irish members with votes on all questions. At the same time Mr. Gladstone said that he would not consent under any circumstances to the redistribution of seats advocated by the opposition. Mr. Gladstone has decided to deter the con- sideration of the financial clauses until the last so that the opinion of the House will be fully ripe for dealing with them. He has re- quested the Irish members to spare him as far as possible further proposals of amend- ments andtocurtall their speeches in com- mittee, in order that the decisive step to- wards the passing of the bill may be taken rapidly. His plan is to press ahead from division to division with all possible speed, and he is averse to any plan which willaid the Union- ist policy of delay. He has promised not to hesitate in applying the closure whenever than reports as tothe attitude of those who FOUR HUNDRED PAIR CHENILLE PORTIERE CURTAINS at $4.50 Per par least fifty patterns to select from. quickly.

Much more importance is attached to this tour than was attached to the tour of Balfour, because Lord Salisbury is expected to disclose during {ft the tactics to be adopted by the House of Lords toward the home rule bill, notably whether or not they wilirefuse to consider any Govern- ment measure before an appeal on the home rule issue shall have been made tothe coun- try. TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. Lowpoxr, May 6.—The British Woman's Temperance Convention ended last evening. As the business has been conducted behind closed doors, detalls of the turbulent pro- ceedings are not easily obtainable. Lady Somerset, the London president, and Miss Frances Willard left the city immediately after the adjournment. The correspondent was, however, able to obtain some interesting information con- cerning the convention from Miss Docura, secretary of the British Woman’s Association and leader of the minority against Lady Somerset. Miss Docurasaid: ‘*‘Lady Somer- set wishes to introduce politics into a strictly temperance organization, for in- stance, such questions as the eight hour working days, woman’s suffrage and the opium trafic. She got a committee elected tosupport her viewsand purposes, but it was not legally elected. Then she de- clared resolutions carried when she had not even put themtovote. She sprang this sur- prise upon us on Wednesday. Weentered a protest on Thursday, but Lady Sometset ruled that it was out ot order. Naturally we left in a body. The dissenting delegates numbered 170; they nominated their committee and Lady Somerset nominated hers. Then she advised the delegates to vote for her noml- nees eh bloc and declared them elected, although they were not. She behaved in a manner altogether high-handed and aroused the indignation of many delegates besides the dissidents. A number of the amliated branches of the association have seceded. We shall not take immediate steps towards organization, but shall wait and see how matters go. One re- sult of Lady Somerset’s high handed pro- ceedure is likely to be a lidel suit against her. In her opening address, which was printed and circulated, she libeled Mrs. Atherton, amember of the committee. Mrs. Atherton has sent to her to demand an apol- ogy, and, if the apology is not made, will bring a sult against her. Has It Come to This? From the Cloak Review.

In a review of the last census of the prog- ressof the decade just ended, R. H. Ed- monds says, in the Engineering Magazine: Railroad construction progressed rapidly during the decade. Itis difficult to realize that whereas we now have 170,600 miles in Operation we had only 93,200 miles in 1880. Atthe end of 1899 we had 166,700 miles—a gain of 78,500 during the decade, or about 80 percent. Thi leadin oper- ated 483, operated e mities. tons. ‘The! carrieu ns.

GAINESVILLE, Tex., May 6.—A part of a cyclone swept Cooke County at 4o’clock this afternoon. Inthiscity the storm was less severe than inthe country. The moving of a few houses and demolition of awnings was the greatest damage. Asouth bound freight train onthe Santa Fe, consisting of eleven loaded and five empty cars, was blown from the track four miles south of here, killing the hind brake- man, S. A. Gunn of Cleburne. Gunn was in the cupola when the wind struck the train and sent it fiying twenty feet down the embankment. The caboose turned over three times and Gunn was caught beneath the cupola, crushing his head in at the temple. He died instantly. He was uomarried, but has a mother at Cleburne. T. Burns, Assistant Trainmaster, who was in the caboose, was badly cut about the head. His shoulders were alsobadly hurt. Tom Terrell, the conductor, received a deep cut over the left eye, and also had injuries about the Knees. Roadmaster Maples received serious internal injuries, which may result fatally. W. 8. Prior was the only brakeman to escape, being on the engine. Fair Plains, the place where the accident occurred, is on the ridge ofa hill, sothatthe wind blows with a full sweep. The train was barely moving when struck, the high wind almost stop- ping it. Three miles south of here L. Blackburn’s two-story house was demolished. Mr. Black- burn fell amid the debris and was so badly crushed he cannot recover. His wife was also badly injured. John Knight’s home was also demolisned, but no one in it was hurt, DESTRUCTIVE STORMS, BARNS BLOWN TO SPLINTERS AND VINEYARDS AND ORCHARDS LEVELED. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., May 6.—A terrible wind and hailstorm swept across this county last night, doing immense damage. At Washington Bottom allof the fine vineyards were destroyed by hail. About five miles above Pettyvilie néarly every barn in the district was torn to pieces and carried away, together with fences andorchards, At Vol- cano and Washington Bottom the farms are nearly ruined from loss of crops, buildings and orchards. Reports from other points this evening say that the hall has swept everything clean in its path a mile wide. From the Ohio to Limestone Mountain nota tree of all the fine orchards along the route of the storm is left standing. THREE*INCH RAINFALL.

GREENVILLE, Miss., May 6.—A severe gale swept over this city to-day, though not much damage was done except to crops, which will suffer from the floodof water accom- panying it. Hallstones nearly an inch in diameter and of unusual size for this section were precipitated. stoneville, a neighboring village, was also visited anc houses un- roofedand barns demolished.

From Harper’s Young People. In this country, when it comes to the cast- ing of the ballots, the person elected to the position awarded by the suffrage of the peo- ple isalways extremely proud of the result, even though he may not be specially desirous of holding office. In other countries, too, the recipient of the greatest number of ballots at the polls is apt toswell with pride over the outcome of the voting, but there isa case on record in Japan where the winner at the polis was not only sorry for his success, but came throvgh that success subsequently to wish he had never been born. Th was in the village of Awa, and the person honored— or dishonered—by the majority vote was a W by the name of Abi Tanihei. t seems that the village of Awa was harassed by a midnight robber whom nobody could detect. The head of the hamlet sum moned the entire male population under his charge, and directed every man to write the name of the person whom he suspected, and to deposit the paper in a box. Fifteen ballots bore the name of Abi Tanihel, the rest being bDianxs. The man whom everybody distrust- ed was sO much overcome with astonishment that he made a full confession and went to a hoped that it will never 2 mei bad really been an honest man it have made no difference in his fate, which would, indeed, have been a dreadful thing.

The largest daily newspaper ever pub- lished appears in New York to-day, when the WoRLD,in celebration of the tenth anniversary of its regeneration under the ownership of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, pre- sentsits readers with a 100-page paper. The day will be notable in the history of journalism as that on which theart of making and printing a newspaper was carried to a point of achievement never be- fore approached. If we could compute the amount of labor, skill, inventive genius and thought re- quired to accomplish this feat the result would stagger the imagination. The per- formance of the mechanical work is a triumph for the art of printing, but an even greater triumph for the profession of journalism isthe marshaling and use of the forces of hand and brain necessary to its perfect accomplishment. But while the feat of printing a 100-page daily newspaper is remarkable, it is merely the culmination and celebration of a more wonderful achievement. It marks the advance of a journal whose unpar- alleled growth practically delineates the progress of journalism within the past ten years. The career of the WORLD during that time has been a record-breaking career. In overleaping all bounds of journalistic growth and work by changing from a paper with a few thousand circulation and no influence toa paper with a daily circu- tion of nearly 400,000 and wielding tre- mendous influence, the WORLD has dem- onstrated that there is no limit to the re- sults which may be accomplished by brains and energy rightly directed. It is an ex- ample of what push and originality ap- plied to high purposes may do. The WORLD’s celebration has a special significance and interest to the public. The people have good cause to share in the gratification of its proprietor andthe men who helped him build up its marvelous success. This success is not only a success in the newspaper business, but a success in the noblest aims of journalism. The WORLD has demonstrated that the two go hand in hand. It has proved that the foundation of the highest newspaper suc- cess lies in the confidence of the people not only that it will give them the news, but that it will promote justice and defend popular rights. It has shown that the power of the press which it best exempli- fies is measured by its moral influence for good. Its success stands for better news- papers and the beneficial use of newspaper power. The people of St. Louis, whose indorse- ment in the Post-DiIsPaTou of the purposes and methods which have won the WORLD’s success was the foundation of its remarkable fied at the triumph of the WORLD through these purposes and methods in the largest field of American journalism. Out of the success of the Post-DIsPATCH sprung the built upon popular confidence and ap- 4 — — EASTERN PAPERS PLEASE COPY. Let it be distinctly understood in the be- ginning while the news is fresh that Dick Dalton, who has just captured the sur- veyorship of customs in this city, is not a member of the Dalton gang who have just robbed a train in the Indian Territory. No relationship and no business connec- tion exist between Col. Bill, the leader of train robbers and the bank raiders, and Col, Dick, the leader of the Northeast Missouri Democracy and the political raiders, Their methods are totally different. Although Col. Bill frequently draws his pistol Col. Dick és perfectly content to draw a salary. He carries no more dangerous weapon than his mouth, and while he has injured him- self several times he generally shoots with good aim and disastrous effect on the enemy of good government, the Republican party. The only time that Col. Dick was ever identified with a loot- ing gang was when he entered into a com- pact with the Noonan gang for a raid on the ‘‘offisis,’’ but the raid failed, Gol. Dick pulled out andthe gang has since been broken up. To dohim justice Col. Dick was more of a victim than oy | chat raid. * 8 * . * * 1 . 2 1 sisi ie? n 5 455 n . | Col.

He is what he appears to be—an Irishman by birth, a farmer by profes- sion and a statesman by disposition. His appointment is in the interest of politics and agriculture. Col. Dalton is expected to prove during his term of office that it is possible to keep the wolf from the door of the farm- house, even if Ita owner is in politics. But then there are no upright farms in Northeast Mis- souri, and it does not cost 7 a bushel in labor and fertilizers to raise corn in that section. | We give this full description of the new Surveyor of Customs for St. Louis to pro- tect him from slander and save the Eastern press from committing libel by ‘shouting that the desperadoes are in the political saddle of Missouri. THE WAR LORDS’ DEFEAT. The really effective opposition to the German army bill sprang from the senti- ment expressed in Herr Richter’s question, What is the use of patriotism to a man with nothing to eat?’’ b Militarism has had its own way in Ger- many ever since the war of 1866 between Prussia and Austria. All the energies of the nation have been devoted to strengthen and perfect a military establishment which was designed to insure the supremacy of the Empire of 1871 and the extinction of France asa first-class power. Moral and intellectual development has been neg- lected if not positively checked by this war-like policy, while the material wel- fare of the people has been totally disre- garded. The working people are striking and agricultural laborers are starving in the face of plenty because the product of labor is drafted away to feed the war lords and their idle retainers. Not only has the effective industrial energy of the Empire been depleted, but the burden upon the workers left in the shops and on the farms has been made heavier. They have to sup- port not only their own families, but a host of non-producers in barracks and camps. The people of Germany are undoubtedly dissatisfied with this ruinous policy. While as proud of their country and as jealous of German supremacy as the most exacting patriot could wish, it is seen that a nation’s vocation in history is not merely to conquer its foes. It cannot maintain its place asa factor in civiliza- tion unless the material and spiritual wel- fare of the people is carefully fostered. A nation of starving men cannot put an army in the field able to cope with battalions recruited among men with well filled stomachs. The military resources cannot run far ahead of industrial development, anda government which pursues such a policy too long is sure, sooner or later, to be forced to meet assault with a depleted treasury and a fatal lack of the inspiration of patriotism, for hungry men are seldom patriotic. The defeat of the bill brings German militarism face to face with industrialism. It is a question between the fighters and the workers, and there is strong ground for hope that the coming election will be carried by the party of peace and honest labor. The German people will probably its victories no less renowned than war. They seem to have reached the conclusion that work is as necessary to national strength as fighting. — — — — THE 400 IN 2292. Itis very strange that Lieut. Totten or some other equally gifted wonder in dates and numbers has not called attention to the curious coincidence between the num- ber of years which have passed since the discovery of Americaand the number of real society people living in America. It has taken 400 years for America to produce 400 best people, or one a year. At first glance this seems to be aslow growth, but if there is time enough before judg- ment day we shall all be best people, for time is a great worker of miracles. Four hundred years hence the number will be increased to 800, and there will have to be two Ward McAllisters then to keep society inorder. By that time even the West will have shed its wool and softened ite wildness into genial tameness; there j will be best people even in Chicago. Probably the social empire will be divided then. The Eastern and Western empires will each be governed by a pale gray ass,’’ one residing in New York, the other in Chicago, and it may be that there will be under monarchs, Czesars so to speak, located atSan Francisco, New Or- leans, Cincinnati and in St. Louis per- haps, each reporting to his own Augustus, the pale gray by the sea or by the lake. But these are matters of detail. The es- sential point is that we shall have, at the present rate of increase, 800 best people in 2202. It may be said that the example of William Waldorff Astor is likely to be fol- lowed,\and that such casualties of emigra- tion will stop the increase by arithmetical progression. But we shall without doubt open a sort of profit and loss account which will help us out. The loss of an Astor will surely be balanced by the gain of some member of the Prince of Wales set, for these English, you know, are great lovers of outdoor exercise, and will certainly come to livein New York or Chicago on account of their proximity to the buffalo hunting grounds, There is no doubt about it, Auy cue whe Nee * . 4 E 15 ae 85 Wc swe iy 2 record their conviction that peace hath. . | anniversary of * discovery —just think of it—400 men who know enough to turn up their trousers in America when it! in England, 400 women with sense to marry a title. How very civiliged we shall be then, and how hopeful that in time we shall al} be in whe euperiative degree! THERE lan a eee ot humorous farce in the proceedings marked out for himself In the Brennan removal case by Mayor Walbridge. The Mayor has laid formal charges before himself against Dr. Bren- nan and now proposes to go through .a form of trial with himself as prosecuting attorney and judge. To cap the climax of this gem of humor, it is said that ex- Mayor Noonan, who is responsible for Dr. Brennan’s appointment, will appear as his counsel, It is presumed that when the Mayor has heard his own testimony and that of the accused and has argued the case before himself with the ex- Mayor he will arrive at an impartial decision. It is hardly fair, however, that the complain- ing witness and the prosecuting attorney should be consulted by the judge in de- termining the case while the attorney for the defense is shutout. Still this seems to be according to the charter, and it is an indication of a fair disposition that the Mayor gives the victim marked for re- moval a formal hearing under open charges, when the removal might be made for any indefinite cause from red-haired- ness to a desire for spoils. _ nn. Hm = S —_ = ONE of the most useful exhibits at the Fair is that of cornmeal and corn-bread. We are now producing about 2,000,000,000 bushels annually of this cereal, of which only about 1,000,000 bushels are exported. As Europe seems to be suffering from a never-ending famine, she could not do better than to adopt this American grain as a substitute. The poor of the Old World would certainly find ordinary corn-cake more palatable and nourishing than the food they are accustomed to in hard times, and the well-to-do classes would soon acquire a taste for the daintier breads. The farmers of America should push this feat- ure of the exhibition and see that the meal is ground by a miller who knows how and that the bread is made in all its popular varieties by Western cooks who have mas- tered the art of corn-bread making in all its branches. THE predictions of ruin to follow the passage of the home rule bill, so freely made by the English Tories, would have more force if the same predictions had not been made inthe past whenever progressive measures were under discussion. The re- form bill of 1832 was to be the same fore- runner of the destruction of British stabil- ity and strength, the abolition of the corn laws was to be the signal of starvation and anarchy, while the extension of the suffrage was looked upon as a plunge into the bot- tomless pit of extinction. Mr. Gladstone was not far wrong when he told the rich men of Ulster that the propertied classes seemed to be always in the wrong on polit- ical questions. n a AN Illinois farmer has started the season’s snaking by a slaughter of thirty-five ser- pents. Witha little more warmth in the atmosphere we shall hear of more great con- tests with deadly reptiles. No doubt con- tinued hibernation has kept in their dens many dangerous monsters that in an ordinary season would have come out and got into the newspapers. — . WEN a woman calls for help in Chicago only the inexperienced visitor responds. When he reaches the dark alleyway in fiying to the rescue he is seized dy footpads, who confiscate whatever valuables he may have about him. However, he may as well lose his money inthis way as to drop it into the high-priced soup at restaurants. - = THE provisional government at Honolulu has proved particularly disappointing in not having offices enough for itsfriends. Every form of government appearsto be strongin office-seekers. Should there ever be one with enough offices to go around it will bea great and enduring success. THE lady manager who denounced Mrs. Logan stamped her foot when she spoke. If the crowd could be admitted to the Woman's Building during the debates, the Fair would be a speedy financial success. Ir Congress had sent the Columbian Fair to some point in the Sunny South it would have j made a great hit. There seems to be no prospect of breaking the backbone of winter anywhere in the Northwest this year. It is to be hoped that there are no Washing- ton pies among the high-priced pastry of the Chicago concessionary. No patriot would like to see a W n pie devoted to sor- did gains. „ DRAcox ““ Whaite’s confidence in sugar must be considerably shaken.

It is threshing over mu- dewed old straw, and nothing more. Everything that can be said on such issues has been said, and to repeat wornout plati- tudesis the most unprofitable Dusiness a live newspaper can engage in.

The Voice of Inspiration. From the Chicage Herald. It would be as reasonable to argue that the Fair should be closed on the Fourth of July as that it should be closed on Sunday. Inde- pendence Day isset apart forthe worship ordained by the gospel of American patriot- ism. Butmen may worship as well in their homes, in crowded cities or in the forests, or surrounded by the most consummate works ofthe human mind and ot human hands as under the roofs of churches, giving to church worship, however, all that it rightfully can claim. i Aside from this matter of sentiment, the question has become practical. An open fairis opposed by asmall class only, from the members of which but little or none of its revenues is to be derived. The voice of the people, in this case at least, should be heard and heeded as the voice of inspiration. A Brave Revolt. From the Philadel phia Ledger. A brave revolt has taken place in the Grand Army, where an attempt to discipline a post that had declared in favor of pension reforms has been met with resistance. The greater number of old soldiers are opposed to pension abuses, but hitherto their organ- izations have hesitatod to denounce them, fearing the whole pension system would be swept away ifreforms should be attempted, Now they are beginning to fear that the abuses if not checked will carry down the system, and so they are speaking out man- fully in behalf of the deserving pensioners, The break has been made and it will be im- possible hereafter to use the Grand Army as a bodyin the interest of claim agents at Washington. Sunday Influences. From the New York WORLD. Rev. James Vernon of Henderson, Ky., says: **All abuse of Sunday newspapers, all de- mands for the stoppage of Sunday street cars, Sunday trains, Sunday steamers, based upon the grounds that these things are at war with a heaven-appointed institut ion, are simply the frantic va porings ofan unrefiect- ing superstition. ’’ The same may de said in regard to exposi- tions, art galleries, libraries and other re- sorts which are elevating and even purifying in their influence and help rather than hinder religious sentiment. The Chicago Four Hundred. From the Chicago Times. The pew rent at the two churches attended by President Cleveland and the Duke of Veragua Sunday will probably experience a permanent boom. , MEN OF MAREK.

I wish I could have seen the ancient Jerusalem of my boyhood; I not care to visit the modern J if it Were as near as Chicago or Cahokia, Bot the letter which did whas I’ could have wished had deen lett undone, contained a small compensation m the shape ofsome flowers from one of the sacred places; flowers that evidently had not undergone any of the transforming im- provement’’ which has ruined, for me, the soll in which they grew. I was glad to know that such natural, home-like flowers could grow there still; and I wondered if He had seen their ancestors who said, ‘‘Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toll not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you that even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of these.’’ Then there rose in my mind these lines of the saddest, sweetest poetof our genera. Now he is dead! far hence he lies In the lorn Syrian town; Ané on his grave, with shining eyes, The Syrian stars look dewa. In vain men still, with hoping new, Regard his death place dumb, And say the stone is not yes to, And wait for words to come.

Last night Glad- stone traveled quite out of his way to speak kindly of the maiden speech of Ghamber- lain’s son, which, he remarked in deep, rull tones, with a gracious bow, was one that must have been dear and refreshing toa father’s heart. Chamberlain, at the frst mention of his son, lifted his head and turned his surly, cynical gaze upon the speaker. When these courteous, flattering words came, he stared for an instant in blank sur- prise, then flushed, made a low obeisance, . and covered his face with his hands forfally | ive minutes, Those near him said the: ‘ Die tears In his eyes. palpa .| about it afterward as one of the mo | ing and notable Incidents in the memory ot Parliament.’’ . Ido not believe that Gladstone did this’ generous deed fort purpose of ‘*heaping coals of re upon berlain’s head; but that it was done out of pure kindness and on of heart—‘‘dotng as he would be done dy.“ And the man 9 under such provocation to the contrary, is capable of doing such a deed is—-in my estimation— favor for which he ought to be most grate tul.

Mr. DePauw, in hie Complaint, alleces that he is one of the largest stockholders in the company, ais also liable as indorser upon their pa- per to the amount of $100,000. In the com- plaint the causes which are alleged to make the appointment of the receiver necessary are the stringency of the money market and the recent depression in the steel market. Ry reason of these facts it is alleged that the company has been unable to meet the de- mands of creditors upon maturing pa- per. and certain notes which are not specifically described are said to be past due and uppeid, and others which fall due within a few Gays they will be unable to pay at ma- turity. There has already matured in Dilis payable in bank the sum of $25,000, which the company cannot pay, and Dilis for the same amount fell due to-day. The Arat evidence of the strained condition Of affairs with the company was given sev- eral weeks ago, when they fled in the Re- corder’s office a mortgage upon their plant to secure the payment of 300 6 per cent cou- bonds for , e each. The bonds were to have been issued for the purpose of eee poner wherewith to prosecute ex- improvements and additions to the plant, and making repairs and for the pur- pose of carrying on the business. The bonds were disposed of to the American Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago and the Bank of Commerce in this city. The company declinesto give out a state- ment of abilities and assets, stating only that the latter ere ample to meet all obliga- tions. The plant cost over $1,000,000, and there ig fully $250,000 worth of stock on hand, A BANK QUITS BUSINESS.

For some time past much has been said abouta tree called Niaouly. It grows in New Caledonia and furnishes to perfume makers the oll of cajeput. The leaves of this tree preserve meat from spoliing, exercise over the country the same wholesome in- fuence as the Eucalyptus, and furnish a pleasant aromatic adjunct to sauces. The essence is é¢mployed medicinally for bladder trouble and rheumatic ailments, with even more success than the tnereben thine. In Caledonia the Niaouly enjoys the repu- tation of rendering healthy every territory in which it is introduced. This is un- doubtedly true, for in all parts of New Cale- donia where this tree is at home the fever is not Known at all. The New Hebrides, not far from New Caledonia, are aiso in posses- sion of this health-preserving mascot. The antiseptic properties of the olly es- sence ofthe Niaouly, abundantly contained in the leaves are very great, and wherever they happen to fall into swamps, morasses or rivalets, they disinfect the water com- 7 the Bucalyptus, the Niaouly needs ple of sunshine. The seeds, which are ve ne, must be caretully sown and cov- ered with about an inch of earth. It is best to do this inthe months of May, June and July.

Basel sentenced a rooster to be burned at the stake in 1474, because he had been guilty of laying an egg, and was thereupon accused of witehcralt by the witnesses of the act.

CrxctwNatr, O., May 6.—The sun stayed up just long enough to see the St. Louls Browns Gefeated after a glorious thirteen-inning | “Ent: fight. The game on both sides was perfect. save for a wild throw of Hawley’s in the closing inning. Brodie murdered one or two long hitsin center, while Crooks did a little business in the same line at third. St. Louls made four desperate efforts to score the run that meant victory, but each time was barely prevented. Hawley pitched a splendid game. His speed and control were remarkable and most of the hits made off him were widely scattered. Jones began the game by hitting Crooks, who advanced a dase on Dowd's sacrifice. Werden landed the run by a clean two-base drive to left. In the second Griffin and Hawley reached first on balls but Griffin was caught at third, while Hawley was called out for pushing Latham just as the latter was about to catch Dowda’sfiy. The Browns went out in one, two, three order for the next seven innings, notone making a hit off Chamber- lain, who replaced Jones after the third inning. The Reds tied the score in the fourth on Caruthers’ hit and steal followed by Vaughn’s single. In the tenth Quinn opened up with a drive to center but was forced at second by Griffin, who gained an- other base on a passed ball. Hawley reached frst on balls, with two men out, but Crooks could do no better than to force Hawley at second. Againinthe eleventh Dowd began witha hit. Glasscock attempted to sacrifice, but knocked the ball to McPhee, who barely caught Dowd at second. At least so the umpire held, in spite of the vociferous ob- jections of the Browns, Werden’s hit placed Glasscock on third, but the next two men went out on Iittie files to second and first. In the next two.innings the St. Louis players were put out in rotation. Caruthers led off in the thirteenth with a clean single to center. Latham bunted and i beat the ball to first. McPhee rolled an easy one to the pitcher, who judged badly and threw to third, but Caruthers had takena long lead, and wassafe on the bag. Matters looked shaky, with the bases full and none out. Hol- liday hit to Glasscock, who threw out Caruthers at the plate, Latham scoring on the unsuccessful attempt to catch Holliday at first wulle McPhee made third. Vaughn hit to Crooks, who made a play to catch both McPhee a Vaughn, but after considerable chasing up and down the line Hawley threw wild to the plate dnd Me- Phee scored the final run of the — CINCINNATI Car’th’s, rf. 5 rd -er — leerer — 81 OSS 0 — — — es — — eee 2 eee!

The base ball enthusiasts of St. Louls and Chicago have for some time been anxiously awaiting the match game Detween the Chicago team of College players and the Pastime Athletic Club’s agere- gation. Yesterday these two clubs met and the Chicagoans were defeated in the presence of about 1,200 spectators, at the new Sportman’ s Park. Umpire Noonan called play at 4 o’clock and the Pastimes went to batfirst. Joe Murphy, the popular sporti Writer and athiete, occupied the box for thé college boys, with Adams doing the backstop work. Filley itched for the Pastimes, supported ehind the bat Paul Me- Sweeney. Untu the beginning ot the fifth 1 neither side had any advan- tage, and both pitchers were doing effective work, practically controlling the game. At this pointeach side had scoredarun.

They made no threats, but they not mince their words. It was plain enough that they were very much in earnest. **The strongest arguments when Congress meets against continuing the present silver Jaw will be the experience the country is now Undergoing as the direct result of it.

ADMIRAL GHERARDI WANTS TO FINISH HIS SERVICE COMMANDING THE NORTH ATLANTIC, WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.—Admiral Gherardi bas at last filed his application to be made Commander-in-chief of the North Atiantic squadron. It isa serious matter with the department as to how the Admiral’s services in the late ceremony should be recognized. There is a disposition to treat the old seaman with great consideration. Considering his lack of experience in the Management of fieets, he conducted the affair with some 9 of ability. He wus greatly favored y the weather, but, all criticism aside, the department is desirous of making the last fourteen months of his active service in the navy pleasant and agreeable. As has been stated before, however, in these dispatchos, there is a strong feeling against givingtot old officer command of a squadron of war suips. Such a feeling implies no lack of respect for whatever services Admiral Gherardi has rendered the navy and the country. He grew to bean old man beyond the time of life when men take readily to new ideas, when the work of rebuilding the navy was projected. It is certainly not his fault that he was not among the young and active and enthusias- tic men who built ships and who have learned the methods of handling squadrons underthe conduct of Admiral Walker. It may bethatthe Secretary will yield tothe request of the Admiral, which he says is the fondest wish of his heart to finish his active service as head of the North Atlantic Squa- dron. But itis hoped by the best officers of the Navy and by the civilians ofthe depart- ment who have its interests most at heart, that something else honorable in its distinc- tion can be found for him to do. It has been suggested, forexample, that a European squadron be composed for him and that some graceful acknowledgment o his recent services be made by the Secretary. To grant Admiral Gherardi’s request would involve an injustice tothe officer who is in command of the North Atlantic squadron, whose command has been only temporarily suspended for the purposes of the review. It must be borne in mind that Admiral Gher- ardi has no command except that of the squedron for special service, that is, for the review pur Admiral the North Atlantic command only 127 * miral Benham he ses. alker is still the Commander of uadron, yielding his e review, while Ad- commander of the South Atlantic Squadron. Under existing orders, as soon as the review is over, Admiral Gherardi’s fag as Commander in- Chief of the combined squadrons will come down. and that will revive at once, without further orders, the commands ot Walker and Benham.

ROSECRANS’ PATAETIC RESIGNATION. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.—Secretary Car- lisle to-day received the resignation of Gen. W. 8. Rosecrans of Valifornia as Register of the Treasury, to take effect May 31. In ten- dering his resignation, Gen. Rosecrans, ina pathetic letter, refers to his impaired physi- cal condition, and incloses a certificate from his physicians which states that Gen. Rose- crans is unable to undertake the long journey to Washington, and does not hold out any hope that he will be able to do so in the near future. Secretary Oarlisle accepted the resignation this afternoon in a letter in which he ex- proce his regret at the General’s continued liness, and hopes he may soon recover. ‘THE INVESTIGATION NOT YET MADE. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.—The statement that Secretary Carlisie has investigated the administration of the (Customs Department ofthe Treasury, and that he has made a de- cision against Assistant Secretary Spalding, Mr. Tingle and Special Agent Twitchell is untrue. Mr. Carlisle has not yet made an investigation but is about prepared to inaug urate one. Tothisend he has selected sev- eral men ofthe very first prominence in New York, andif they accept the offers which he has made to them to-day their names will be a guarantee tothe country that the investi- gation will be thorough and honest. It is intended by the Secretary to find out before the meeting of Congress exactly how the cus- tomis laws ofthe country are administered and whatevils exist, and to obtain a report if possible as to what remedies are to be ap- plisd. THE PUBLIC DINNER. Vast Number of Things One Has to Eat and Drin«. From Chambers’ Journal. Though we express surprise at the gorman- dizing powers of our forefathers, ourown elaborate public dinners are little less dis- graceful than they were 400 years ago. An eminent physician, describing our present day dinners, said: We begin with soup and perhaps a glass of cold punch, to be followed by a piece of turbot or a Slice of salmon, with lobster sauce, and while the venison or Scuthdown is getting ready we toy with a piece of sweet- bread and mellow it with a bumper of Madeira. No sooner is the mutton or venison dis- posed of, with its never-falling accom pan! ments of jelly and vegetables, than we set the whole of it in a ferment with champagne and drown it with hock and sauterne. These are quickly followed by the wing and breast ofa partridge ora bit of pheasant or wd duck, and when the stomach is all on fire with excitement we cool it for an instant with a piece of iced pudding, and then im- mediately iash it into a fever with undiluted sik a a ohana ore gif — — pointed to be of 2 5 Smith © soe ahs Bi remains 07 8 . et ee ee i leas peers balls Writers den 9 THE IMITATION BLAZE CALLED OUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. a -.

A bright red light blazed forth from the top of the Security Hullaing, Fourth and Locust streets, last night about 10 o’clock, shedding a-raddy glow upon the walls adjoining, and attracting the attention of many people on the streets. Men could be seen rnshing about on the roof and it seemed a foregone conclusion that the fre had gained a fair start and was ‘breaking through the top of the great ten-story structure. An alarm was turned in from box 42 and the depart- ment rushed pell mell to the scene, The firemen dashed into the building and scared the wits out of the elevator boy, so that it was some mo- ments before he could collect his faculties sufficiently to tell them that there was no confagration. The St. Louis Board of Fire Underwriters were only enjoying a banquet and the guests had deen treated to a realistic representation of; a fire scene. The menof the ax and hose re- tired growling atthe scarce that had been caused them. The banquet was given in the elegant rooms of the Noonday Club in honor of the twenty-first anniversary of the organization of the board. The elegant quarters of the club had been tendered the underwriters, and were brilliantly lighted and prettily decorated for the occasion. A RED GLOW. It was the first entertainment given by the organization during all its long career, and it was made a sumptuous affair. The dban- queters sat down at 8so’clock, and while a band of stringed insiruments furnished ex- cellent music, partook of a beautifully served repast. Amongthe guests were: J. A. Waterworth, L. E.

There was not time, as there was not apparent need for the discussion of insurance questions. But later on it was felt thatthe opinion had crystallized upon pothing comprehensive and definite when, six months later. in November, 1872, the big Boston Ure came, involving perhaps 3 loss of $50, and bankrupting a number of companies thas had escaped the Chicage conflagration unscathe lu view of what, by the startling events ‘of two successsve years, was shown tobe the newly dis- covered conflagration hazard of cities—unmistak- ably present but impossible of measurement—this old city of St. Louis then presented an array of difi- culties.

Time passed away, the camel, perceiving that it was watched, was quiet and o ent, and the driver began to think that beating was forgotten, One night, after the lapse of several months, the man, who slept on a raised plat- form in the mili, while, as is customary, the camel was stalled in a corner, happening to remain awake, observed by the ght moon- the Secretary's hands at this juncture. Mr. (arlisie, like Mr. Fitch, bas an atcurdte knowledge of what confronts the Democratic party on the sflver question in the next Con- gress. He knows, as matters now stand, the promise is that free-silver men will havea substantial majority in the next House. This majority will be made up of members from the South and West, whoare bitterly preju- diced against the East, and are watching the Secretary’scourse. His visit to New York last week aroused their suspicions, and there have been mutterings among them that he might be preparing to surrender to Wall once a month, making a detailed report of their con- dition at the meeting of the board. Besides this. last 7 — the department made neariy five thousand bullding inspections, The steady purpose has been te put this division of the board’s operations upon a complete and enduring basis, which seems nov to have been done. Within recent years a New Yorker undertook to go balleoning with his company, hav- ing for ballast the catehword of his assumed new discovery—' ‘Inspection, Selection, Protection.’’ As inspection Is not protection, and never was or can be, one phrase was thrown out after another until this iliustve and deiasive experiment showed in burning letters, lutention, Collection, Dejection. ’’ But this board’s reliable inspection still goes ON. 3.

For army purposes in the field or campaign the inflated, sir-tight leather bag as a raft support is an excellent article, These leather bags are made from the hide of beef and one alone is above water the weight of more than two men. For constructing rafts rapidly they are highly suitable. Although the subject is somewhat technical, it is not uninteresting to describe the procedure of con- structing these leather bags on the spot from the skins of capable of holding thistube. Whenthisisdone it is fastened like the rest. The raft to be carried by these supports is made ofa frame and cross bars over which the planks are laid, and fastened with tenons. The bags, usually four or six of them, are tied to the raft by their extremi- ties, so that the hags float on their back. A big of this kind made of the hide of beef weighs about 28 pounds. When inflated its carrier force is equal to the weight of the animal from which it has been taken, about 450 pounds. A raft built on four of these bags will carry ten men, floating (inches above the water level. Six bags will support twenty men, carrying them from 2to 8 inches above the water. Four oarsmen are stationed at the sides to steer the craft. These bags are ready for use as soon as they * 2 i Hun a The Raft in Use. 1 r ö * The Hide. animals which furnish food for the — and which are killed by them in large nu bers every day. Among the Russian army this method is largely in vogue, and the ac- companying sketches are made from photo- graphs taken during the last manetvers of the Russian army divisions. The beef is killed and skinned after a cer- tain process which leaves the skin almost wholly intact, and which is illustrated in the ö he op. Mag at the neck, side and tall are A together with strong cords over The skin et the hoofs is tied are made. But if they are te be kept for any length of time, some littie precaution must be taken to preserve them. Before prepar- Ing them the sides are well salted with sea salt and allowed to dry ina well-aired shed for several days. After this the inside part of the bide is treated to a mixture of four of beef grease and two parts of beech tar. This process is renewed from when the hides are not — 2 mae up into bags. The cords also to time, ing which prevailed in the business district inelud- ed, in maay instances, the construction of so-called fire walls, which conveniently and economically stopped befere they gotthrough the roof. Freach mansards, the then latest deviee to getan extra story cheaply out of lumber upona sd“ (brick building, were largely in vogue. Weoden cornices extending trom house to house through a block, skillfully designed to carry fre from any one to all the rest, were common. Kates were e by intui- tion, or guess, or opinien, or whatever has since been eptiy described as the rule of thumbs,’’ sometimes singly, and sometimes by Classes. Thus, elevators, regardless of size, or capacity, or con- straction, with their contents. had 4 rate of 4 per cent. Drug stores, without regard to their iocation, or character, or occupancy, were aiso 4 per cent. Other risks were from i to 10 percent, Nothing was cheaper than the minimum mamed. Risks dif- fered then as they do now, but there was no rule or method fordefining the differenee. Local infiu- ences alone operated to keep these rates con- stantly under discussion and wholly unsettled. But there wae another factor ot uncertainty. Periodically two or three perfumed yeung men, scarcely emerged from adolescence, would appear on the scene with authority from New Yerk to rate something or other, They lacked any large experience in underwriting, and if their mothers kaew how they were **roaming’’ there was fitting occasion for much maternal anxiety on their ac- count. And that was the mos@positive thing anes could be said for them, except thas they positivei created a great deal of trouble for this local boa while these circumstances ad sway.

Letters from far-away countries Came pouring in to him, containing Gescrip- tions, illustrations, te., which aided him greatly in the compilation of his big, fat folio, Many of the mysterious, mediaeval figures with which his work abounds, were sent to him from abroad, and the statements and sxetches were accepted by him without the least hesi- tancy as to the real existence of the creat. | ures of which they purported to bring him tidings. A desire for grotesque and singulaf forms is prevalent throughout the book, and Gessner confined himself by no means to the Single task of natureologist,. but he usurped the place of physician as well by setting forth which parts of ani. mals were particularly adapted forthe mak- ing from them of salves, medicines, con- coctions, etc. The book consequently is full of for powders, mixtures, stews and brews.

The monster is said to be sprinkled with sand, on which the sat - ors have landed as on littie islands, cooking their meals as they would on the mainiand, and amchoring their ship to the monster's snout, which is characterized as a frequently dangerous proceeding. Of the sea-monk Gessner says foar repre- sentatives were found, each measuring more than four yards, in Norway, the Baltic Sea, Copenhagen, near Purdegal, and in the British Sea. Another specimen of this family, the Sea Bishop.“ adorned with the insignia of a veritable bishop, was found in Poland.

I met him by appointment one day underneath the Algernon Archery, above which was written in golden letters, Hamam Baths.’’ On that occasion we were unable to be tattooed. I say we in an abstract sense for really my guide was to be decorated while I looked on. However, we met Mr. Sutherland McDonald, the young gentleman who is actually, practically and solely responsible for the number of old fam- lly names“ and high titles that are going about loose tattooed. That afternoon he had two gentlemen waiting operations, and later there would be a lady; so another time was set when he thought there would be present a certain small dapper little captain in the English army, who was nearly covered with the tat- tooer’s artistic efforts. It was growing dusk some days after when, as arranged, I found my way through dark passageways to Mr. MacDonald’s den.“ It was a large, square basement - room, lighted by incan- descent lamps. The trilling melody of caged songsters filled the air with shrill music and there was an odor of cigarettes and brandy’ mixed with a slight aroma of drugs about the place. It was notasumptuously furnisted apartment. A large square table, littered with colored inks, needles, small viais of oplates, books and one or two empty champagne bottles stood in the center ofthe room. In a corner was a massive sideboard bearing decanters of brandy, sherry and port. while a freshly opened box of Egyptian cigarettes lay invitingly amid the bacchanallan display. One or two short - legged, broad-armed chairs -stretched their wide cushioned depths temptingly, while several cases of books and a smali electrical accumulator completed the outward bear- ings of the furniture. Aslentereda bright, good-looking, gen- tlemanly littie fellow, who I afterwards learned was a dashing young officer ina foot regiment, wasidly puffing a cigarette and waiting forthe huge Japanese design of a dragon that had just deen tattooed in six colors from the arm - pit to the waist to dry. It was then 6 in the evening, and the tat- tooer had been busy with him on this opera- tion since noontime. It was a horrible beast which he had designed on the skin and every line, no matter how minute, constituted an infinitesimal quantity of punctured holes into which the needle had pressed the indel- ible colored inks. This victim was indeed one to be proud of. He was literally covered with all sorts of artistic fancies, from a copy of some famous nude story exhibited in the Paris Salon, to }comic sketches, miniature landscapes, dream faces taken from women’s photographs, like- nesses of well-known actresses and flowers, birds, bees and insects innumerable. A complete pair of navy blue socks had been tattooed from above the ankle to the tips of the toes, which defiled detection. He was quite proud of all this and showed the designs with evident pleasure. „How do you explain such a eraze?’’ I askea Mr. McDonald, when the officer had e. „Ah! I give it up. There it is. I shall have every fractionof aninchof his skin covered. He won’t be happy until he. looks like a human art gallery. Have you many more like him?“ Not many doneto quite such an extent. He is the most perfect specimen of the Kind I have on my books. There is some work on him, though. I can tell you, some fine work!“ he repeated proudly, as he wiped the ink off the needles he had been using. Tie was a man rather under medium height, with the pale, thin face and careless dress that characterizes inventors anc geniuses of all kinds. „„am an electrician dy profession, he said in response to my inquiries, ‘‘and it was while serving in the English army that I learned tattooing.

' ‘*Then you have never had a case of blood poisoning?’’ Out of about 300 cases I can remember four that resulted badly.

Of course the flannel adheres to the skin,and when he drags it off the dye enters the blood and then there is danger.’’ Is the process attended with any pain?’’ ‘‘Notanythingtospeakof. Nothing com- pared to the Japanese custom. For instance, Lord de Clifford, who underwent an exhaust- ive tattooing experiment in Japan, was seven weeks tinder care of operators, and it took him seven more weeks to recover his hormal health. I know that noone living has the system of tattooing by electricity that I have here. We were tnterrupted by the arrival of Mr. Sugden, who was to have a design completed on the arm for my benefit. He was seated in ahigh chair near the table, where a strong light was thrown upon the bare arm held rigid for operating purposes. Iwo large-sized grasshoppers, one flying with open wings above one lower down, which had apparently settled, were already traced in black India ink. The tattootst suggested and sketched the design of a barley stalk with leaves and silken beard, upon which the two grasshop- pers should meet, He drew the lines roughiy on a sheet of notepaper, andthe victim ap- proved. A liquid preparation was then smeared over the skin so that the outlines could be traced with a lead pencil on the arm. This being done, the patient expressed his desire to have cocaine injected so as to make the action of the needle painiess, This proved tobe the most painful part of the operation, as every minute line in the draw- ing had to be separately injected with the drug on the same principle that doctors inject morphine. The entire quantity of cocaine used was not over two grains, but it was vVisibily enough to produce that dazed and pleasant sensation which accompanies the after effects of all strong opiates. Of course the action of the needle after this was painiess. In fact, Mr. MacDonald implied that after alli it was not really necessary to use cocaine, because the pricking was almost as slightas the sensa- tions of an electric shock. As a modern in- vention this particular needle apparatus, which is the only one in the world, is a unique piece of mechanism. This needle or needles, for sometimes two or three are used with their points bent toward a single apex, are attached in a closed leather tube about is set in motion on the principle of a piston- rod by electrical connections to which the needles are attached. The point of the needle is gauged to shoot from within the tube just far enough outwards minutely to pierce the Gelicately is this calculation > 7 ’ ? * ’ 1 „ . * SS eee et a Dy?

The opera- tor merely draws it as a pencil along the lines of his original tracing and the Ink sat- urates and sinks into the skin, leaving the indelible marks. The design was completed in less than an hour’s time, The needies used are especially selected instruments, asevenin an assorted packet they vary in dimensions and shape, During the operation I glanced through various books, or rather records, of the tattoolst’s work where each design that had been made was placed on a separate page, with the name of the manor woman who carries that design on his or her body written in a corner of the same page. Ofcourse I could not reprint the names here, though if I did they would constitute a chapter in sensational journalism that would amaze the English and American public, ELITA PROCTOR OTIS, SAVED SEVEN LIVES.

New Yoru, May 4.—Mortimer Feistei of No. 838 South Third street, Brooklys, is a life saver, the son ofa life saver and the brother ofa lifesaver.

Taaffe, or to give him his Irish title, Baward Taaffeof Curren and of salymote, is a descendant of of the numerous Irishmen whom the N once described as emin«ntly qualified d thrive and prosper everywhere but in the country of their birth. In former times it fas probably somewhat different, for few records are so rich in distinguished as those of the Taaffe s, which, geneal- ogists assert, can be traced back ward to the reign of Edward I. They bristle with § descriptions of the note- worthy deeds, martial and religious, of the brave warriors, eminent bishops, Pious abbots and austere monks and huns ‘bore the family name, and the death of of the most celebrated of them all— bishop Taaffe, the Primate of Ireland— in 12988 is iamiented by the flattering old chroniclers of those Gays as an irreparable loss to the Irish church. The Taaffes were related to the O’Haras, Dillons, Plunketts aud other well-known families whose stir- fing @eeds impart a favor of variety and interest to Irish history. In the first half of the sixteenth century we find them already in Austria, doing battle with the Turks; they fought bravely at the siege of Vienna, and contemporary literary histor- fans averred that in one memorable battle de- feat was turned into victory by the personal prowess ot one of the Taaffes. In 1667 a gal- lant member of the family won the title of Count of the Empire, inherited by the present Minister-President; and ever since then they have played a conspicuous ana singularly bonorable part in the fenks oof the so-called court aris- totracy of Austria—as distinguished from the feudal nobility—one of whose representa- tives is credited with the profound philosophical apophthegm that, properly speaking, mankind begins with the baron andends with the monarch. But the two distinctive traits which during ali the vicis- gitades of a checkered existense eminently characterize the Austrian branch of the family of theTaaffes are Celtic loyalty to their sovereign and unshaken fidelity to their church. The present Count’s father, who was honored with the absolute confidence of the Emperor, was President of the High Court of Appeal in Hungary at the time When a high-handed attempt was being made to Germanize the Hungarian people, and the perseverance with witich he carried on the arduous and dangerous work, appoint- ing to Hungarian courts German judges, who were unable to express themselves in any language but their own, and himself admin- istering justice in the same obnoxious tongue, was an eloquent testimony to the abundance of his eal and to his lack of polit- ical tact. HIS RISE IN LIFS. Asa boy, Count Taaffe was a playfellow of the present Emperor, sharing that distinc- tion with Counts Falkenhayn and Coronini. Asayoung man, after having anished his studies at the Law Faculty of the University of Vienna, he was one of the first students to pass his examinations on tile strict lines prescribed by the new university laws; after. which he entered the civil ser- vice, beginning at the lowest rung of the ladder, and rising with a slowness ely distinguishable from stagna~- , and scorning to utilize the intimate re- s that had so long subsisted between and his sovereign to lighten his labor hasten his advancement. He was still at base of the administrative pyramid, oc- pying a dificult and unenviable position, ben the Emperor, then on a visit to Linz, t him by chance, recalled the days of their childhood, and questioned him about his / position and prospects. After this pro- motion was remarkably rapid, until, in 1867, when scarcely thirty- four years of age, he was removed from the post of Statthalter of Upper Austria to that of Minister of the Interior under the famous Boust, and in the following year he occupied simultaneously the important positions of acting Minister-President, Minister of the Interior, Minister of the Police and Minister ofthe Land Defenses. That was a very try- ing time for Ministers and Cabinets, the conflicts between Czechs and Germans, Clericals and Liberals, Federalists and Centralists, paralyzing all attempts at useful legislation. In spite of his Liberal surroundings, Count Taaffe has always been a Federalist at heart; less, however, in vir- tue of any abstract theory than because he regards the extension of the principle ot au- tonomy asthe only satisfactory solution of a dificaitand dangerous problem. Eagerto establish peace between Czechs and Germans, Count Taaffe presented a memorandum to the Emperor in February. 1870, in which he and two ot his colleagues strongly recommended a change of policy in the direction of auton- omy and Federalism. The majority of the Cabinet at once drew up a counter-memo- randum, protesting against any change, whereupon Count Taa and his two col- leagues resigned. He returned a few weeks later on the formation of a new Ministry, but whet this, too, broke down, after a short Spell of ten months, he withdrew from par- liamentary life and accepted shortly after- wards the post of Statthalter of Tyrol, which he retained for seven years. In February, 1879, after the lamentable breakdown of the German Liberal Cabinet, he was appointed Provisional Minister of the Interlor, with which office he combined a few months later that of Minister-President, both of which posts, in spite of the confident predictions and steady opposition of the German Left, he bas contrived to retain without interrup- tion ever since. POINTS OF PERSONAL POPULARITY. Count Taaffe is one of those rare public per- gonages who cannot well be brought under any single category, but ali each one a class to himself. He may be said to be in politics „ what Jean Paul Richter was in literature— Ger Einzige. There are more aspects to his life and work than there are sides and angles toa cube, and the impression one retains after having carefully analyzed them all, is that if we could only obtain a glimpse of the further point from that of a psycholo fourth dimension, our conception of him might possibly be correct, and it would unquestionably be totally dif- - ‘ferent. The most important of these aspects | fe bis social talents—the source of that "> abundant oll which he continually keeps „ pouring upon the waves of the tempest- | t@séed sea of Austrian politics. To every Prime Minister they are an indispensable > gondition of success. The celebrated Dont Beust, who when first appointed to ' this post was decidedly unpopular, once 1 red during the carnival at a ball in the Cae te, and, heedless of the scandalized _. gountenances of his colleagues, offered his darm toa pretty comic actress, who enjoyeda ' wide reputation, and requested her to give mi dance. Next day he was the most popular man in Vienna. Count Taaffe has 8 never had recourse to any such heroic ex- 8 fents; de bas only to open his mouth ' «mpd his hearers are enchanted.

His remarkable dramatic talent. had u been cultivated in time, might have obtained for its, pos- sessora niche inthe Temple of Melpomene. His command of his features, which he is able to distort so as to resembie a friend or an enemy, would make the fortune of a professional comedian, and some of his feats of mimicry enable oge to realize the almost incredible achievements related of Garrick ; while his control over his feelings is so perfect that he could summon a smile to his lips on the rack, or, like Scarron, crack a last joke on his death-bed. His voice is as docile to his will as his facial muscles, and he can imitate beasts, birds apd babies to per- fection, while causing their moving forms to appear in shadowy outline upon the wall, These varied gifts and accomplishments are not usually reckoned among the indispensa- bie qualifications of a contemporary English statesman; but they cannot be said to con- stitute wholiy useless ballast in Austria, where they have frequently enabled their possessors to score a solid triumph denied to his saturnine opponents, who consider him to be, like Mr. Podsnap, a too, tod smiling man. It is scarcely to be wondered at, therefore, that the members of the German Liberal Ministry (the so-called ‘‘Oitizen Cabinet’’) should have themselves re- quested the Emperor to appoint Oount Taaffe to be their President, or that the monarch, while turning his back upon his ministers, Herbst and Giskra, in order to mark his condemnation of the Dungling way in which the insurrection in Dalmatia had been put down during his absence abroad, should have shown himself unusually affable to their colleague, Count Taaffe, who, as Minister of the Land Defenses, was technically responsible for the im puted mismanagement. But no more striking proof of his ex- traordinary powers of suasion and his gtft of raising vague hopes could possibly be in- stanced than the smile of satisfaction with which certain of his political opponents have left the precincts of Parliament after having listened to his disparaging remarks about them and their ways, firmly convinced that his speech was a mere sop to Cerberus, all the more necessary that he cordially sympathized with them in his heart. PECULIARITIES OF APPEARANCE. His own countrymen are hopelessly divided in their estimates of Count Taaffe and his work. Manyof the politicians who see him only in Parliament, where, like Mrs. Fezzi- wig, he isalways wreathed in smiles, take him for a Hiberno-Austrian Ogniben, so bland, self-possessed and serene does he ap- pear even in the face of difficulties that would drive any other statesman to despera- tion. Those who know him only from portraits and paintings fancy him to De an insufferable Sir Lucius O’Trigger, whose arms are mere dluster and bravado. Strangers who have noted for the first time the spare form, the marvelously black hair, the elastic step and the mercurial gait of the Prime Minister as he enters the House; the agility with which, when an opponent rises to speak, hesprings upon his table, letting his feet dangle over his chair, and the smile, in which bitterness is sufficiently blended with pity to harmonize with pose and figure, can scarcely dis pel the illusion that they are in the presence of the most perfect embodi. ments of one of the chief characters of Goethe's principai drama. No better statesman could have been chosen to inaugurate a policy of concilia- tion; and no wiser policy could have sug- gested itself toa government whose peoples are so bitterly prejudiced against each other thattrial by jury for political offenses was found to bean impossibility. Count Taaffe possessed numerous points of contact with wiar with the Olericals; as a Minister who haa voted against the Concordat,he was respected by the Liberals; he had worked to- gether with the German party in the ‘‘Citi- zen Cabinet;’’ had won the heart of the Bo- bdemlans. Croatians and Poles by his out- spoken advocacy of a federalistie policy, and even the Anti-Semites, naturally disposed to harbor a grudge against the statesman whose ubiquitous mentor and alter ego—M. Blum- enstock—is a Jew, fancied that they could rely upon his sympathy,and hope for his sup- port. But he himself regarded as a far more solid qualification for the role of peacemaker his conception of what government in Austria should be. It should begin by discarding theories. Political principles Count Taaffe condemns as a weakness, and his friends and enemies are as one in declaring liim free from any stain which the possession of them might be held to imply. The nationalities of Austria, although or because mostly Christians, cor- dially dislike each other, and can only be induced to cultivate affection for a tertium quid, who is the Emperor; the only union pos- sible being, therefore, one of the head, not of the heart, he holds that the power of the head should be strengthened till it becomes practically absolute. As the weakest ele- mentofthe population never wholly loses the power to inflict serious injury upon the State—the richest province of Holland was once ruined by a rat which burrowed a ho'e in the dike and let inthe sea—no nationality or class should ever be heavily trodden upon orturn. Lastly, Austria, never having been one and indivisible, cannot be governed as if it were an organic whole; consequently, how imperative soever the need for unity, no sys- tem of Government can hold out long which is based upon the negation of federalistic principles. HIS DISSEMBLING TAC TICS. The tactics which the new Minister em- ployed in order to obtain a fair trial for these maxims were well adapted totime, people and circumstances. Count Taaffe is a clever, practical psychologist of the most pessimis- tic type, whotakes an incredibly low view ot human virtue, which heis ever tempting into crooked ways, and he seldom discovers any grounds to question the correctness of his theory, or to doubt the infallibility of his rules. His memory is * store - house of the weaknesses, hypocrisies and delusions of other men; his intellect a repository of cunning little devices for set- ting them in motion. But he never poses as a censor Of morals;only as an appraiser of motives. He affects, and probably feels,sur- prise at nothing. He could listen calmly, nay, with apparent benevolence, to the reasoning of the president of a Taaffe assassination committee, and find some plausible pretext for paying him a compliment or making him a concession. One day a mass- meeting of over ten thousand workmen assembled in the streets of Vienna to discuss politics and propagate socialism. As this was the day fixed for the opening of Parliament the meeting was ipso facto illegal, but Count Taaffe, although in possession of the information fora fortnight before, had taken no preventive measures. The orators were dangerously outspoken, thecrowd ex- cited and restive,and shouts were heard that the Prime Minister should be calledto task. Count Taaffe agreed to receivea deputation of three, to whom he accorded a most gracious reception, asking them to confide to him their troubles and formulate their wishes. They could not, they replied, be satisfied with less than complete freedom for all Austrians to meet, speak and publish what they think, the introduction of universal suffrage, the disbandment of the standing army and im- mediate pledges that their demands would be complied with, Count’ Taaffe list ened attentively to the utterances of the reformers, nodded his head knowing- ly at the proper places, came to the help of the speakers occasionally with a suitable expression, and in reply told them that they had formulated their views with admirable clearness and coherency, and that as the realization of their scheme entaiied very comprehensive changes which could not be carried out by him alone, he would not lose a moment in laying the matter before the Councm of went away delighted, What took plac all parties, and had definitely broken with: none. Asa pronounced CatBolic he was pop- however, on the following day was not cal- culated to feed their hopes or tempt them to t their tactics in future. The manner in which he receives disagree- able deputations affords one of the most typ- ical illustrations of Count Taaffe’s meth K The spokesman, painfully conscious o seriousness of the situation, appears at the head of the delegates, who march solemnly, silentiy and resolutely into the presence, de- termined to compel the Government to bend or break. Count Taaffe receives them with the usual beaming smile, strokes one affectionately on the shoulder, takes another familiarly by the arm, offers them all cigarettes and cigars, volunteers a witty remark on the latest topic ofthe day, tells some piquant anecdote in connection with it, then seizes upon some remark made by one of the dele- gates to start a fresh subject, which he I- lustrates with another strongly favored story and so keeps up a running fire of small talk till the worthy deputation is laughed out of its ution as Munchauser’s bear was tickl out of the forest. His suasive powers, when brought to Dear upon a limited circle of hearers, are of the miraculous kind attributed by Irishmen to Cormack McCarthy, the Lord of the Blar- ney Stone. Asa public speaker he is one of the most dismal failures that ever addressed an audience. His tongue is generally a knife to cut his head off. Hence in his public speeches, as in Joe Gargery’s private utter- ances, ‘‘I mean ter say’’ recurs with painful and bewlidering frequency, the incautious wording or hasty expression of intention or desires calling for limitation or toning down. The present parliamentary and ministerial crisis is the direct outcome of one of these spontaneous outbursts of pub- lic oratory, occasioned, but by no means provoked, by a speech of Prince Schwarzen- berg. This time the ensuing ‘‘meantersay,’’ which was written down and read out with due emphasis, not being found to tally with well-known facts, was received with in- credulity, and the .crisis was the result. ALWAYS UNDER A MASK. In his dealings with political allies and opponents Count Taaffe is flippant and cynical to a degree. He transacts the most important business as if it were a practical joke. If politics were a comedy and political lifea schoolboy’s entertainment, the tone he adopts would be perfectly in place. He seems constitutionally incapable of treating the most momentous questions in a serious, sober spirit. This tone, which he has suc- ceeded in imparting to others, consti. tutes an essential element of his tac- tics; it renders politicians more tractable and compliant, accustoming themto make light of the sacrifices they feel called upon to make and to minimize the advantages they neglect to secure. But,in truth, his levity and cynic- ism are but surface deep. The few who know the real man, when the palliamentary mask of folly is laid aside, find the con- trast pathetic, almost tragic. Solicitude for the well-being of the Empire is audible in his every word, visible in his every look, and to the mind of the observer, who had been comparing him toa cavalier of the Restoration, reminiscences occur of the heroismof Junius Brutus and the single- mindedness of Schiller’s Fiesco. Attach- ment to his sovereign and his country is the one moving forceof his being, and its in- tensity is that of the old Highland clansmen or of the extinct Irish wolf-dog. This is the real key to his livingand work- ing. What difficulties, disappointments and dangers he has to contend with will never be revealed. I have seen him at times when he evidently believed himself alone with his troubles, which were then at their height, and I shall never forget his look, in which intense agony, wild defiance and utter despair seemed fighting for the mastery; it was most painfully suggestive of the last regard of the wounded fox, as it stands at bay a moment before the end. **You in Austria, wrote Adolf von Herzog to the celebrated Minister-President Schmer- ling, require to be governed by a man pos- sessed ofa head of filnty hardness and a soul of the toughness of copper wire. And he might have added, devoid of the slightest trace of selfishness, for the coinin which eminent Austrian statesmen are usually paid has little resemblance to gratitude. The official class, which summed up Radetsky’s brilliant servicesin the epithet „old ass’’ cannot be expected to show itself more appreciative of the merits of a political galley-slave. One of the most successful of French statesmen once remarked to his friends, who were explaining his feverish pulse and sleepless nights as the result of anxiety about the destiny of Europe and so- licitude for the welfare of France: ‘‘The few square feet that constitute the King’s bed-chamber cause me more trouble and anxiety than all the battle- felds of Europe.’’ Whether and to what extent Count Taaffe could indorse this state- ment had best be left to his future biographer to determine. Certain it is that, burdened, as heis, with a peck of private sorrows of his own, racked by a painful disorder, at- tacked by indefatigable opponents, thwarted by political allies, tolling and moiling day and night, Sunday and holiday, without respite or rest, his labor will be his sole re- ward. When his heart is withered like grass, and hisdays consumed as smoke, the most appreciative epigraph he can hope forisa dry statement of the melancholy truth that Death wipes blame awry.’’ HIS DEALINGS WITH THE CZECHS. Holding with Sir Robert Walpole that every man has his price, and having discovered for himself that many men simply give them- selves away, Count Taaffe hopefully entered into negotiations with the Czechs for the purpose of inducing them to send their rep- resentatives to the Parllament of Vienna. The task, however, seemed utterly be- yond his powers, for abstention from Parliament has been the trump card of sulking Austrian nationalities ever since the constitutional charter was conceded. Mora- vians, Ruthenians, Croatians, Poles, Ger- mans and Roumanians had played itin turn. It was one of the most eMcacious weapons wielded by the Hungarians intheir struggle for independence, and ithad brought the Czechs themselves within an ace of the same goal in 1871. Their determination not to swerve an inch from this beaten track was, therefore, not easily to be shaken. But, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, Count Taaffe had only to strike up one of his lively melodies on his magic flute, and the grown-upchildren followed him un- questioning tothe side of Koppenberg Hill. Being above all things practical and the last man inthe world to rig out an expedition against the south wind, he never attempted to argue against their principles, content to leave them the shadow if only they would concede to him the substance. He tola them that they might well enter the legisiative assembly under protest, and thus obtain for their peoplea share of the good things in the gift of Parlia- ment, without forfeiting such advantages as their federalistic standpoint was calculated to afford them. The Czechs yielded to the tempter and, having solemnly read a vigor- ous protest in both Houses absolutely deny- ing the right of Imperial Parliament to legis- late for Bohemia, they quietly took their places and assisted it to legislate, and have assiduously frequented its sittings from that day tothis. The Minister might well sum up the work of that epoch in the words, ‘‘Veni, vidi, vici.“ No doubt the Czechs had their own price and Count Taaffe paid it without a murmur, contenting himself with compelling them to take half a dozen bites of each cherry that he set before them. The Germans, whose orchards were being despolled in order to supply all these cherries, were naturally dis- satisfied, but they had only their own will- fulness to thank that the Czechs made such an advantageous bargain. Instead of ac- cepting office in Count Taaffe’s Cabinet or closing with the other Alterna tiveand offering a strenuqus opposition they spent their energy in predicting the minister’s speedy fall and then waiting, like wher, for something to turn up and y their prophecy. They rémained for Ministers. The Socialists { men the a : Die; while the Caechs and National Minister in the Cabinet who carried a list of desirable concessions in his pocket. Of all parties in the the Ger- man Liberals were and still are the only serious advocates of the constitutional status quo in Austria, All the others grace- fully acquiesce in or loudly clamor for the reorganization of the monarchy on purely federalistic lines. Count Taaffe’s twofold task was to conciliate these jarring elements on the one hand, and utilize, so to say, the electricity generated by the friction for the purpose of strengthening the hand of the Government on the other. The latter problem he has solved in a masterly manner, and whereas independent Hungary is now a truly constitutional State in which the power of the monarcn js scarcely more considerable than that of the King of the Belgians, Austria is become absolute in everything but the name, When Count Taaffe assumed the reins of government in 1879 the people was the political god and the Parliament was its prophet. The parties kept con- stantiy turning towards their con- stituents for guidance and encourage- ment as the sunflower turns toward the orb ot day. At present every political group, ex- cept the thirty-five Young Ochs, is infinite- ly more solicitous about the good will of the monarch than about the approval of the population. Formerly the Parliament re- volved round the democratic earth; at pres- entitturnsround the imperial sun, and Count Taaffe, were vanity one of his failings, might boast that he has realized that ideal form of government which Count Hartig, years ago, declared to be the only one suited for Austria, in which the Emperor hears, weighs and commands; his subjects desire, talk and obey.’’ THE DANGER OF THE POLICY. It would ill become a foreigner to inquire too curiously whether this peaceful revolu- tion is at bottom an evil or a boon; it would be impossible, however, to biink the fact that a comparison of the Austria of to-day with the Empire of 1879, from a military, econom- ical and financial point of view, shows a con - siderable balance in favor of the current year and presses home the conviction that while the crew were quarrel- ing or fraternizing below the captain and his officers were at their posts on the bridge, and the ship making headway against wind and waves. To this consoling result the minister's colleagues materially contributed, and this is another proof of Count Taaffe’s eminent qualifications for the work. His gift for discovering the right man for the right place is as unerring as the un- conscious power of the oyster to extract from the water the various elements from which it forms its shell. He may with truth be said to possess one of the best staffs of higher of- ficials of any government in Europe, every manofwhom was directly chosen by him. self. The grave danger of Count Taaffe’s system lies less in its immediate effects—however calamitous they may appear—than in the future inevitable fruits which the first serious international disturbance may sud- denly bring to maturity. It was at the con- clusion of the war of 1866 that Hungary won her independence, and what may take piace after the coming war will, to a considerable extent, depend upon what seed has been sown during the present peace. To fancy that in Austria itself there is any force sufficiently strong to resist the Czech demands, supposing all other conditions to be propitious, isto live ia a fool’s parudise. In 1871 Count Hohenwart experienced no dimculty in getting together a majority which declared itself in favor of Bohemian independence and federalism. His majesty had no hesitation in approving the demands and promising to comply with them. Oount Hohenwart 16 still a political personage, the leader of a numerous party and hand in glove with the Government, and a month has scarcely elapsed since the present Parliament solemnly censured a German member for accus- ing the Czech Separatists of treason against the State. If, therefore, any great international disturbance, such as a Euro- pean war, were to destroy or momentarily weaken these other forces, which alone guar- antee the unity of Austria and the prepond- erance of the steady, peaceful elements of the population, an equally complaisant member- ship could be sent to Parliament to-morrow too, and the Hamburg monarchy trans- formed into the United States of Aus- tra before the summer soistice. The enormous advantages of political power, moral influence and efficient organization which the present minister has for thirteen yoars been systematically conferring upon the Separatist Czech party, who openly avow their resolve to use it to the full when the opportune moment arrives for the dis- memberment of the Empire, constitute the danger and involves the condemnation ef the conciliatory policy of Count Taaffe, „E. B. LAN. UNDER A MOVING TRAIN, Sensation cf a Man Who Thought His Last Hour Hai Coms. From the Chicago Tribune. To fallundera running railroad train, to lie on the rail and see death approaching one atthe rate of fifteen miles or so an hour and only a few feet distant, is an experience not given to many to be able to relate. Yet this is what happened to a Chicago man. How did it happen? What were you thinking about?’’ he was asked the other day. Well,“ he repled, I had no time tofind out howit happened, but 1 do remember a good many things that 1 thought of while it was happening. Now it seems utterly impos- sible to me that sucha flood of thoughts could Hash through my brain and leave their indi- vidual and distinct impressions as did in the almost, immeasurable short space of time that I lay on the rail in front of those wheels. It is said that ust at the moment of one’s death the whole doings of a lifetime are held up for review in less time than it takes to wink one's eye. Ican readily believe it, In less than a second 1 thought of the many railroad accidents of which I had read. It fashed through my mind that 1 had often seen men credited with wilful negligence or reckless intention in allowing themselves to be Killed or maimed, and there I was on the track, ready to furnish another illustration. Yes, sir, there I lay, fat on my back on the rail, and saw the wheels of the after truck of the carcome rolling along and only a few feetaway. It most seemed as H I felt them crushing and grinding my bones, yet I had, it seems, time to think also of how easily a fellow gets killed. 1 thought how foolish it was to accuse others of foolhardiness in getting run over when I myself was about to become a horri- ble example. Ithought of how often I had ‘let up lightly’ engineers and conductors and helped to take the blame from them and put it on the fellow who got killed. But my greatest regret, in the time I had to think was that I had so often adversely criticised the man who got run over. Strange as it may seem, however, these were not half my thoughts. I realized that I was yet alive, inthe vest of good health every bone and limb sound, sotos k,. and the next instant 1 would, I felt, ground into pleces and my flesh and bones spattered over the raliroad track. There was no power in the world to help me, so it seemed; not all that the engineers or conductors or brake- men could do would be of any avail. Then it fashed through my mind that I was on the brink of the other world and I had not even a chance to make one repentant prayer. I wondered what it would mean for me. ‘*While those ideas were running through my mind I must have made some sort of an effort toescape. I have no knowledge of how I did it, but I did roll off the rail outward. The wheel caught my heel, though at first it seemed as if my foot was cut off above the ankle and I was powerless to move it. I man- aged to get on to my right foot and balance myself on that for a second to get my thoughts together as to what I shoula next do. It has taxen me ten or fifteen minutes to tell this thing, but it did not, I should judge, from the rate the train was sping, Ay anything like a second of time for it to happen.’’ A Wary Ficancier.

A BURIED CITY. RUINS OF SILCHESTER, A CITY OCCUPIED BEFORE CHRIST’s COMING Written for the SunDAY Post-DISPATCH. Tothe antiquarian and the historian, the ancient buried city of Silchester, England, is proving almost as interesting a field of re- search as has far-famed Pompeii. But little has been done towards uncovering its treas- uries, the excavations being confined to the forum and one or two of the principal dwell- ings, but many and rare are the relics which have so far rewarded the search - ers. True, comparatively nothing of intrinsic value bas so far been discovered, nor is it thought likely that many such finds will be made, since the city was sacked and all valuables carried off before it was re- duced to rulns. The history of the city is full of romance and replete with sadness. All that now re- mains is the wreckage of what was once an important city,a British oppidum years before the age of our Lord, a Roman- British city from about A. D. 60, full of life and in - dustry, teeming with human interests up to about A. D. 560, when the West Saxon armies roadways little corn and grass can grow. So beautiful specimens of tesselated — Ti have been discovered; no doubt more will be found. Two of these pave- ments have been taken to Strathfieldsaye. Specimens of foreign have . been found in the ruing of the houses for wall linings. The county is stoneless. All the large stone capitals and shafts of tire columns must have been brought from a dis- tance, mostiy from the neighborhood of Bath. No doubt during the many ages vast quantities of the stones which were once **Silchester’’ have been taken away from the Buried Oity,’’ especially in earlier times, as from the cheapest and most access- ible quarry, the country bein g stoneless. A number of articles have been found, including pottery of Samian and rough Brit- ish ware, Remains of boots and shoes, glass, knives, ploughshares, nails, writing styll, bells, keys, locks, chains, hooks and spoons. Implements of the different trades, such as the tools and tessere of workers in mosaic pavements, butchers’ knives, whetstones, axes, hammers, chisels, a carpenter's plane, files, blacksmiths’ tongs, a Roman scale beam and the trappings of horses. Toys for children: Rocking-horses, toy anchors, little axes, bronze toy goats, eagles, buckets, etc. Games: Dice, counters, draughts. Articles and ornaments of women’s toilet. Two pots full of money have been discovered and many single coins. These date from Augus- tus before the crucifixion and end with Arcadius, A. D. 410-15,when the Roman mili - Queer Relics Rescued From the Ruins... —not improbably under the command of King Ceawlin, descendant of the god Woden—Dbesieged and took it, and probably burned and sacked it. The basilica and some of the houses, temples, etc., show the marks of a terrible fire. The burnt charred timbers, melted bronze, cal- cined flint stones and many other indications are mute witnesses of the fames which wiped the ruined, plundered town out of existence. The first sight of Silchester as it now stands isnot by any means a promising or inviting one. The ruins cover an area of something like one hundred acres, the sites of the excavations which have already been made being marked by a few low mounds of earth and stone. Not one-quarter of the city hes yet been uncovered. The site of the buried city is the property of the Duke of Wellington, There is a small grassy amphitheater outside the city walls, which are standing with scarcely a break. Roughly speaking, the ruins of these walls are still ten, fifteen to twenty feet high. The four gates, east, west, south and north, are well marked; in some instances the very guard chamber can be distinguished. There are clear traces of another and older wall of earth outside the Roman stone walls, showing that the Celtic city had an outer lineof defense. The Celtic oppidum, ofcourse, was built before the Christian era. Itis not absoiutely cer- tain, though probable, that the city was at once completely deserted after the sack and conflagration of the West Saxons (under King Ceawlin). Antiquariesare divided on this point: some think a poor remnant re- turned after the great catastrophe and for a time continued to dwellamongtheruins of their once beautiful home, Corn and grass in the summer show plainly the straight lines of the streets, as over the — — * tary occupation of Britain en ded. Te coins show sixty-four imperial heads. One of the last, and perhaps the most in- teresting, discoveries, inthe Buried City isa. small Roman-British Christian church. It stood at the corner of two main streets, a little to the southeast of theforum. This is the oldest church in England and one of the oldest in Europe. It is about forty feet long with a nave, two aisles, small transepts, chancel and apse, its floor still fairly perfect, made of coarse red tesser@ and an altar floor of dlack and white checkered mosaic. The altar stood just in the apse at the west end of the church and the ministering presbyter must heve stood behind thealtar. The date of this early Christian church is about A, D. 850, or a little earller—330-340. The principal excavation has been the forum, on one side of which stood what must have beena stately ,Dbasilica, some 280 feet long, with tall and elegant columns, at each end an apse in which the judge sat, the public having access for meetings and de- dates in the great hall between the two apses. Rooms onone side of the hall for various municipal purposes can be clearly traced; surrounding the whole block of the basilica and forum was a colonnade. The south side of the forum was occupied by municipal and probably imperial offices, the north and east side with shops. The divisions of these are clearly marked. The original trades carried on in these shops, which have been closed for even more than thirteen centuries, can in some instances be accurately discerned—for instance, the sh and oyster shop, with its bed beneath of countless oyster shells, the very pan or jar which kept the oysters alive has been found; the butcher’s shop, with the peculiar knives, severalof which were dis- covered, etc.; the public semicircular seat for tired citizens, sheltered from the cold north wind, is also there plainly marked.

GREAT GATHERING PLACES FOR THE FARMERS THROUGH IRELAND. jal Correspondence BUNDAY Port-DisPatcu. Dun, April N. For the purpose of illus- tration theré is as Mttle cifference between the Irish falr and the Irish market day as there could pe found between a rale drop of the right sort’’ and ‘‘a drop of the rale right sort, which from time immemorial! has been inseparable from the proper conduct of either. The actual difference is this: The Irish fair, whether held atthe little village in Donegal or Kerry, Or attended by thousands, as at Ballinasloe, Athlone, Cork, Belfast or Dublin, isanaffair for the display and sale of anti- mais only—horses, cattle, asses, pigs, sheep, goats and oecasionally poultry. Perhaps eighty Irish towns and cities hold from one to four fairs each year. Some are for thd sale of One ciags of animals only; of hogs as at Limerick or Athlone; of cattie, as at Ballinasloe; of horses, as at probably, the greatest annual horse-fair in the world, that of Dublin, or as at Oushendun, for, the ex clugive sale of the noted Oushendal pontes, bred on thé beathery mountains of Antrim the weird and stormy Irish Seas. But at most of the Irish fairs all animals bred in Ireland are exposed for sale; at many others farm products may be found; while the great butter falrs of Cork would almost give one the notion twat hait the world’s nut, ter is made inthe sunny vales of.

DuLoTs, Minn., May 6.—At the village of Mountain Iron nearthis citya man yester- day assaulted two girls—one 5and the other 6 years of age. Several hundred mipers searched all night for the man anda found him at noon to-day hiding in a saloon. The crowd hurried him to a tree on the edge of the olearingin which the town is built. Here a rope was thrown over a limb and the miscreant was given ten minutes to prepare for death. At the end of that time he was hauled upand scores of revolvers emptied into his dying body. No one in the town knew his name. There was no attempt at concealment on the part of those participat- ing in the lynching and no arrests will be made. One of the children will probably die. This was the first lynching in the place. SAD CASE OF WANT. * Wew Yorn, May 6.—Asad case of destitu- tion was brought to light through the arrest for begging of 12-year-old Dennis Ford, Agent Rerngle of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children saw Dennis in West Seventy:thira street on Thursday nee ne a big basket from door to door. The little mendicant had already obtained a considerabie stock of stale bread. The agent arrested him. He wept ditterly. g Me brudders and sisters are starving, ° he whimpered. ‘Please, mister, won’t yer let me take this bread home before I go to the station-house?’’ The agent decided to accompany the child home to ascertain if his story was a true ane. He found the family inthe rear room ofa tenement three flights up. There were four half-famished children there when the agent and Dennis arrived. They madea rush for the basketand beganto devour its contents like wild animals. Dennis was brought up in the Rockville Police Court yesterday. On hearing his story Justice Mead discharged him. CRIMINAL OPERATION CHARGED. Wicnita, Kap., May 6.—A sensation was created here to-day by the arrest of Dr. O. J. Harris, a prominent physician, and Frede- rick Harris of the fOrmof Harris & Turley, furniture men, charged with operating erim- inally on Miss Ella Powell, a hitherto highly respected girl of 18. Miss Powell and Harris seem to have been intimate, for some months, and the girl claims she was seduced under promise of wedlock. When she found her- self enciente she invited Harris to marry her, but, according to her yi £ he then for the first time informed her that he wasa married man and sent her to Dr. Taylor, who is charged with the criminal operation. The prisoners gave ball in $1,000 each for their appearance. THE STARR GANG. Kansas City, Mo., May 6.—The raid which had been planned onthe Caney Valley Bank at Caney, Kan., by the Starr gang of Indian Territory outlaws was defeated by their early discovery and the timely warn- ing which was sent in. When they reached the town they found the bank and stores closed and guarded and they made noattack. The same band raided the Caney Valley Bank three months ago and secured $3,000. It is probable that this is the same band of desperadoes that heid u — train and robbed the passengers at Creek last Tuesday night. DESERVED HIS FATS. Coruna, 8. C., May 6.—The Denmark tragedy has been speedily’ fol- lowed by another lynching ia this State. Last Thursday an ex-convict named Sam Gaillard entered the house of a white farmer damed Amos Weeks, who lives in Wil@amsburge County, near Kingstree, and in the absence of the husband assaulted Mrs. Weeks. As soon as the news fiashed across the country the country people organ- ized a posse and scoured the woods for Gall - lard, whom they captured yesterday after- noon. To- day Gaillard was found hanging to a limb, filled with bullet holes. Galllard was a mulatto, and had been in the Penitentiary twice ROBBED BY EMPLOYES.

Bes- Sa DAS: ——— a Female Base Ball Club.’ BLOoMFIELD, N. J., May 6.—A number of young men are going about this town to- night trying to look very pleasant and brave. They are members of the T. M. g. A, and this afternoon they acted in a manner which their friends are certain will make their names figure very prominently at the next meeting of. the local branch. The young men who have thus scandalized the commu.- nity Sy Sesipose the team ofthe Bloomfield Ball Club and their offenseis that they eon game of ball this aft ernoon with the Oineinnati Red Stackings. The Red stockings were described in the local billboards as the The champion iady base ball players of the world.“ Their com- ing was heralded during the week by means of profusely colored posters, picturing them in short sKirts and jockey caps. They are the young women who tried to introduce the great American oe game at Havana several weeks , but. were compelled to leave without thelr base men fine residences and laid out a number ‘of — ave tennis unds. Women of this e never beyond lawn tennis in their Athlete education, and the announcement of the coming of — Reds,“ as they are popularly called, filled them with inexpressible horror. All the week there has deen an unusual amount of gossip about the game, and there was talk of having the police prevent it. The police, however, informed those who ro- quested them to act inthe matter that they could not stop the iris playing if they were orderly. The young men did not ap r to mind the agitation, but looked on it as a good advertisement. They got themselves interviewed for the local papers and said all sorts of hard things about those who were so ungaliant as to openly denounce the visit - x grounds where the game was played were inclosed witha broad strip of canvas ten feet high. Theinclosure was filled with men and ys and a many women, while outside was a jam of vehicles of every kind, Small boys perched themselves on convenient trees where they could enjoy the sport without paying for it and a hill near by was black with persons whose view was not cut off by the canvas. All of the Bloomington club appeared but one who sent word that he dida’t want to lose his membership im the T. M. ©. A. The others said they did not care if they were ex- pelied for such a light offense, and a sub was put on to complete the nine. The giris wore red skirts with black stock- ings and black waists. Several of them wore high heeled slippers. Mostofthem had snort curly bair, while several kept their tresses from getting in the way by placing them snugly under their caps. The Bloomfield nine were made up as fol- lows: J. Conway, A. py ry E. Rowbotham, Henry Decker, Alfred Sheley, Sidney Lewis, Alfred Martin, ‘im. Voight and The girls went to the bat frst, but the Bloomfield boys put them out in one, two, three order. The crowd voeffero usly ap- plauded as they took the feld and 3 that 2 en | their approval at every play, good r a * In their next inning the girls piled up six runs. They batted the dall all over the field and slidand reached the bases in a manner that madethe Bloomfield 8 turn pale. The latter began to think the crowd had in- fluenced the umpire against them. That might have been so for the spectators howled down every decision against the reds with cries of ‘'Give the girk a show,“ She's safe, etc. The next few innings evened up the score, and then the playing became s exciting that both runs and innings were lost sight of. A wild rush nearly broke up the game in the seventh inning by a rabbit running acrossthe field. The crowd droke over the ropes from all directions. The rabbit was picked up deadand the game was resumed. At its close the score was estimated to be some where in the neighborhood of 14to8 in favorof the Bloomfield boys. During the game it was asserted by some ofthe friends of the players that a number of church elders wereinthe crowd on the hill over- looking the ground takingin the game for nothing. This might have been true de- cause the assemblage was nearly large enough to take in the population of both Bloomfieldand Mont Clair. The giris took 80 per cent of the gate receipts.

The work is sure to be completed, however, within a few days of the speeined time. Nearly all the material to be used in its construction is already on the grounds. The surface will be of a fine, loamy soll and the finest of Joliet gravel mixed and will when finished, hardly show a piece of grave as jarge as a pea, The surface will be two and one-half inches Jn thickness, and will be lald on the top of a bed of fine screened mac. adam, such as now forms the surface of the straights at Parkside. Banking will de one foot in five on turns, making the banks six feet high at the summit. Banking will begin at the outer edge of the track seventy-five feet before the mmencement of the turn, and will rise one foot in forty-fivg inches on the outside until six feet isrefiched. This summit will extend at six feet for 150 feet, then oor gradually into the backstretch. Turns wül be 489.6 feet on inner curband 444 feet on the pole line. The straights will be 436 feet each. The turns will be thirty feet wide, the backstretch twenty-five, the home- stretch forty feet. The finish will be 120 yards from the end of the last turn. — SOUTHERN CYCLE MEET. Three Days Meeting at Cumberland Island— Ih Cooler Line. SAVANNAH, Ga., May 6.—On May 29, 80 and 81 at Cumberland Island there will be the largest bicycle race meet that has ever taken place in the South. The Southern in- terstate cycle meet promises to draw a crowd from a territory as large as the name indicates. The pro- moters have invited the whole country, how- ever. Maj. Wm. O. Morgan is at the head of the race meet. The meet will be conducted under League of American Wheelmen rules. A championship of the south will run and a Georgia state championship. There are a ‘number also ofopen events during the three days sport, which are calculated to attract wheel- men from all parts of the country. Mr. Joe H. Johnson, the editorof Wheeling, the new bicycle magazine, has the detalis in hand and wil receive the entries and attend It would have been difficult to select a more beautiful place to race. There are twenty-two miles of marble-like beach at Cumberland, level ad smooth and hard as will be particularily spin along dy the side Atlantic record-lowering speed. Then, too, the fact that allthe races will be straight away in- stead of track races will speed A racers. In cohnection with the race meet there will bean important convéntion of cyclists to form an organization for the perpose of pro- tecting Soutbern 8 interests.

Ww. H. WILLIAMS, Editor Ceatral Baptist. St. Louis, May 6, 1693. The meeting at which the resolution was adopted was held with closed doors. After it was over Dr. Williams gave out the resolution. Dr. Williams was asked if the editors had arrived at the decision early or if there was a wrangle over it. No, no, said the doctor, it was pro- posed and adopted at once. We were a unit upon it. I didn’t care what the other fellows did. I had already taken my staud. Friday night, when I read the PosT-DISPATCH and learned that the Fair would be opened on Sunday, I went straight to work and got out this circular.“ The doctor then produced the following: Sr. Louis, May 5. DEAR BROTHER—In spite of ail efforts to the con- trary the local board of the World's Fair has de- cided to open the Exhitution on Sunday. They have violated their promises, trampled upoa the law of the land, insulted the Christian sentiment of the country, and worse than all have set at naught the law of God. The effects of this action will be dis- astrous, to the morals of this country for Ame to come. There ought to be s general u of the lovers ofthe Christian Sabbath. I ficient number of them will agree not to go near the Fair unless the gates are ciosed on 8 we may sutceed in closing the gates on Sunday. If you sym- pathize with this view, I beg that you will present the accompanying pledge to your people and com- munity publiciy and get as many as possible to subscribe their names to it. Yon can attach the ome to paper or rson whieh signatures can Written. If possible get members of your congre- gation to take around papers for ‘signatures in the community. Send games to me as fast as papersare flied. In the name of our God let us rise up end contend for is day. Wraternaily, WX. H. WILLIAMS, 1 Editor Central Baptist. ‘*Every Baptist minister who could de reached by mail in time for Sunday's sermon was sent à circular, andthe subjectof Sun- day’s sermon fn 250 Baptist pulpits will be on the opening of the World’s Fair, The following pledge was also sent them, which they are expected to have their con- gregations and Christian friends sign: THE PLEDGE. We hereby agree not to visit the World’s Fair at Chicago unless the gates be closed on the Sabbath. „When this gets started it will extend all over the country. Itisa question that rises above religion, Itis a question as to whether & local board of control can override the Christian people of a country n by Congress and the Legisiature of lilinois,’’ **Doctor, inthelight of this, do you think the Fair will be a success?’’ No, sir, I do not. They have spent $34,- 000,000 on this Fair. The people who spent it wili not get it back by defying a nation in the manner that they have. I believe that the Fair will be a failure. Do not let the impression.go out that all the religious papers in St, Louls are opposed tothis, Ihope they are, but there are sev- eral editors absent from the city, and the men who signed the resolutions speak only for themselves, he secular press is not with us in this aht, or have not been up to date. Where they will stand now I do not know. ST. LOUIS MEDIOCSL SOCIETY. Dr. Erokaw Presents a Remarkable Spec- imen of a Tumor. The St. Louis Medical Society held its regu- lar meetiog last night at the Board of Educa- tion Building, with Dr. W. J. Langan, the Vice-President, in the ehatr. Drs. M. A. Bliss and G. H. Thompson were elected asso- clate members ofthe society, and the names of Drs. A. G. Enderle, C. M. Nicholson, M. D. Jennings and K. A, Baker were proposed for membership. The first order on the pro- gramme was a paper by Dr. Latdley, but with his consent the case of the evening was presented by Dr. A. V. L. Brokaw. The case was one which is unparal- leled inthe West, and has created a great deal of interest among surgeons generally, it being a remarkable operation for the ro- movalofatumor. fhe woman from whom the tumor was removed is now about 62 years of age and has deen suffering with this — 3 2 * * * a 2 * Ry Dur 11 rf Editors Denounce the World’s 4 growth for about eight years. When the case. Was taken by Dr. Brokaw the woman was in imminent danger of suffocation, from the fact that the organs had all been pushed crooked by the growth. The ribs stood out and the heart, liverand other internal parts were all out of their proper places. The cir- cumference of the woman’s abdomen before the operation was 58 inches and 80 heavy was the tumor that she had to ca it with her hands when she wanted to stand. The growth after being removed weighed ‘ninety-six pounds and the woman weighed scarcely as much. The inclosing skin had been so distended and stretched that there was a large flap or fold of skin left which willhave to De absorbed by natural pro- cesses. The whole operation consumed in all about forty-five minutes, the patient be- ing kept under the influence of chioroform all the time. The day after the operation Dr. Brokaw left the woman in charge of his assistant and a trained nurse, and this evening he read a letter from the nurse to the effect that she was coming home on Monday, as the patient was getting along well enough to n nothing mote than or- The society took a recess of five minutes to examine the tumor, which was 8 in a big wash tub.

LOUIS An American Line Steamer to Bear This City’s Name. TO BE THE FASTEST AND MOST PALA- TIAL VESSEL AFLOAT. The Ship Will Be the First Euilt for the Line in America—Will Probably Be About as Large as the Great Eastern and Cost in the Vicinity of $3,000,- 000. The efforts of the Citizens’ Committee which visited Philadelphia to try to induce the owners of the International Navigation Co., which is building the new palatial steamers at Cramp’s shipyards for the American Steamsbip Line, to name one of their vegsels ‘‘St. Louis“ in honor of this city, have been crowned with success. This committee was decided upon at a gathering of leading citizens and represent- atives of various business organizations held at Mayor Walbridge’s office a few weeks ago, the meeting having been called by his honor at the re- quest of Mr. Robt. K. M. Bain, the local agent for the line, who first suggested the idea of making an effort to have one of the vessels named st. Louis“ as an advertise- ment for the city abroad. Atthat meeting Mr. Geo. E. Leighton was slected chair- man of the committee to visit Philadelphia to confer with the ship owners and he was given authority to appoint his fellow mem- bers. He selected Mr. Bain and Congressman Seth W. Cobb, Chas. T. Joy and Richard Barthold. The members of the committee was received cordiatiy by President Griscom andinvited to appear before the Board of Directors of the com Dany at a galled meet- ing. After the gentlemen had addressed the directors President Gtiscom stated that he would grant their request. He had been ac- quainted with what dad been done in St. Louls, and had made his mind that St. Louis ought to be re ented on the ocean, This news brought fomha cheer from the St. Loulsans, but they aated still more, and pressed him to name tie first steamer built on American sol St. Louls,’’ This he promised to do. President Griscom, how ever, stipulatea that the promise was not to be made public until Ne gave them permission. Yesterday Mr. Ieighton re- ceived a letter from him stating that the fact might be mada public and thit the first large steamer bullt in America for years would ve called St. Louis. TO BE THE FASTEST STEAMER AFLOAT. The St. Louis will be a 30,000 horse- power, will have compound expansion engines and uadruple cylinders, the largest 100 inches in diameter and the smallest 70 inches. The largest steamers usually carry but three cylinders, The St. Louis will De the fastest steamer on the ocean when Duilt, and will be able to beat either the Campania or Luzania, the new Cunard Line vessels. The Campania broke all records on her maiden trip, and the St. Louls is expected to do like- wise, The Campania has 25,000 horse- power engines and 180,000 pounds of steam is required to move her. The st. Louis will have 30,000 horse-power and require 230,000 unds of steam. As the Campania and gania are each 620 feet long the new st. Louis will necessarily be much larger Mm order to carry the extra size engines. The St Louis will probably equal and may exceed the length of the Great Eastern, 680 feet, The steamers Majestic and Teutonic, about which there has been so much written, cost $2,000,000. The steamer which will bear the name of the Future Great will probably cost nearly $3,000,000. A FLOATING PALACE. . The fittings of the vessel will be wholly American, and, according to President Gris- som, there will as much difference between the new ship and the ships now afloat as there is between an Knglish rallwa coach and a Pullman palace car, That Mr. Blain and Mr. Leighton and all the committee feel elated 18 12 mildly. They are over - joyed and claim that the new ship will be the greatest advertisement the city has ever had. After President Griscom had promised the committee that the first of the new steamers should be called St. Louis’’ Mr. Leighton romised him on behalf of the citizens ot St. uis that this city would present the vessel with an American flag and with a silver service to cost $2,500 or $3,000 and possibly more. The committee further promised that when the St. Louis“ was launched tbe city in whose honor she was named would senda delegation to be present at the ceremonies to show to the country the appreciation of the people of St. Louis tor the kindness of the American Steamship Line and International Navigation Co.

The horseis owned by the Clark Bros., and is reported to be a ringer, as his owners made a great kill. ing with him. He is believed to be the Both- eration-Legatee gelding that last year ran at Gloucester Park under the name of Harry Ahlers. Capt. Bellairs said that the Olark on Thursday night iniormed him that they bought t horse from George Hitchins,who had been running him at Gloucesterand Grand Rapids, ana finding thatthey had a pretty thing nursed him along fora killing. He was given the herring bone firing and putin first-class shape. Clark said it was their intention to makea killing just as soon as they could get their horse torun against longodds. When theirchance came they snapped itup. He promised to produce the horse for inspection ofthe judges. Instead of so doing the horse was spirited away, and word was received that it had been sold to Canadian horsemen. The horse won on the books the sum of $6,500 at odds of 50 to 1. Twilight and his owners have been ruled off. One of the best known bookmakers at the track, who admitted losing $1,700 on the race said last night that he was sure the so-calle Twilight was none other than Dr. Davis, a chestnut horse, that has won frequently on the Canadian circuit. ‘‘After the alleged Twilight’s victory last Wednesday, which reduced my roll heavily, curlosity was aroused and out to have a look at the saidthe ‘‘bookie.’’ ‘*Now the resemblance between the animal and the horse I knew as Dr. Davis struck me immediately and I am almost positive that they are one and the same.

NEw YORK, May 6.—There is not a very good chance of Johnnie Gorman ana Mike Leonard making a match to fight at Coney Island unless Gorman makes a concession of four pounds in weight. Gorman says that he is willing to fight, notwithstanding the dif- ference in weights, but his manager, taking into consideration the fact that Leonard has improved perceptibly during the past season, is loath to take on too big arisk. If Gorman does not make the match George Reynolds may be substituted. Clinton Academy Field Day.

Mr. Joseph Pulitzer Agrees to Pay the Expenses of Either Crew—Correspon- dence Which Will Probably Bring „About an International Race—The Western’s Revival—Acquatic News. New Tonk. May 6.—On April 12 the London correspondent ofthe Womp addressed the following letter to W. A. L. Fletcher, Presi- dent of the University Boat Club of Oxford, England: LONDON OFFICE OF TRE r APRIL 12, 1893. DEAR Sin- All levers of university sports in Amer- ica regret exceedingly the failure of the negotia- tions looking to a meeting between the Oxford Varsity crew and the Lale or Harvard Varsity crew this year. The impression has gained ground, and in my own private conversations with mem- bers of the crew the suggestion has been vaguely cenyeyed, that at least one of the difieul- ties whieh was in the way of the coming together of the two crews is the difficulty of meeting the ex- penses ofa trip to America. It the removal of this obstacle (if it de an obstacle) will tend toward fauithering a meeting between the Oxford crew and Yale or Harvard, I am empowered to say that Mr. Joseph Pulitzer of New York City will be very giad to be afforded the opportunity of paying all the ex- penses of the Oxford crew to and from America. Of course the idea in mind isthat the race shall not be made a show affair“ or an annex to the World's Fair or anything besides a legitimate meet- ing of the University crews fora ‘varsity race. If the suggestion crudely outlined here meets with favor in your eyes I shall be happy to call on you at your earliest convenience witha view to furthering the end desired. Trusting that some means may be found of bringing about a race between the English and American crews, Iam faithfully yours, (Signed) 5 F. A. DUNEKA. To W. A. L. Fletcher, President University Boat Club, Christ's Church College, Oxford. He received the following reply: LIVERPOOL, April 27, 1893. DEAR Sitr—In answer to your letter of April 12, 1 am only able to give you my own private epizion with regard to the contents of your letter, as I shall be unable to consulta meeting of the captains till the end ef next week. Tou are right in supposing that thereis the objection of the expense to our taking a crew to America, but it is not by any means the only reason. The chief reasons The impossibility, of getting to- American crew ought to race in English waters. Please convey my most hearty thanks to Mr. Pulitzer for his most kind and generous offer to the Oxford crew. Iwill give youan official and final answer after I have consulted the meeting, but Iam nearly certain in that I have stated the views as they will state them, Very faithfully, W. A. L. FLETCHER, The meeting of the captains, to which Mr. Fletcher refers, has not yet taken place. It is evident from his letter, however, that Pulitzer’s offer is possible. To provide for this contingency, if possible, and to make certain the inter- national Varsity race, earrestly hoped for by all lovers of the University sports, the managing editor of the Wortp addressed the following letter to-day to Derby Rogers, President of the Yale Rowing Association Club, and to Samuel Craft Davis, President of the Harvard University Boat Club: NEW Tonk. May 6, 1893. DEAR Sin- inclose for your information a copy of the correspondence between the London representa- tive of the WORLD and the President of the Univer- sity Boat Club of Oxford relative to the offer of Mr. oseph Pulitzer to bear the expense of the Oxford crew to America to contest t championship of the world with the winner of the forthcoming race between the Yale and Harvard crews. You will ob- serve in Mr. Fletcher’s reply a strong doubt of their acceptance for reasons given. Iam directed by Mr. Pulitzer, therefore, to make the same offer to pay all of the expenses te Englaad of 12 crew which shall win the forthcoming race between Yate and Harvard. The proposition is made at this early day to allow ample time for the completion of 11 An early decision by the boat elubs of Harvard and Yale is essential, se of the ne- cessity of the Oxford crew remaining in training if the details can be arranged to the satisfaction of all concerned. A definite rep‘y from Oxford will prob- ably be received this week. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that ail who desire an international ’varsi race will encourage the representatives of Harvar and Yale to rega the proposition with favor. WESTERN CLUB REVIVAL. The Pine-r Rowing Association Will Cel- ebrate Its 23d Anniversay To- Day. The Western Rowing Club, the pioneer row. ing organization of the West, celebrates to- day its twenty-third annual revival and in the same connction the liquidation of its Special Correspondence SUNDAY Posr-Dtsrares New Haven, May 1.—A. B. Graves, the muscular young Brooklyn man who rowed at No. 5in the winning Yale crew last rat New | months’ stay in England. Mr. Graves more attention to the Thames and that bart ot it from Putneyto Mortlake thananything else, for the university eighths were prepar- — ing for their great race during his stay, and the Yale oarsman naturally followed thelr While there is not the slightest pretense of secrecy between the two crews in their work on the Thames and while Graves had plenty — ot opportunities to study their methods, the $ 4 * * Englishmen have a certain reticence about alscussing the finer points of the sclence, a2 is natural in any branch of sport. Comparing the rowing of Oxford and Cam- bridge with Yale methods, the following are some of Graves’ observations: **Should a good Yale eight go to England to row the chances are they would be defeated unless they had at least two months of prac- ticeto get used to the course. The cox- swain has a whole education before him in learning to shoot the curves in the course and remember the eddies and bridges. The Thames from Putney to Mortlake is a thing absolutely indescribable to those who have not traversed it. On a straightaway four- mile course a Yale crew would have a good show of winning. The remarkable time made by Oxford is due largely tothe current, for thereis a rise and fall in the tide of the Thames often reaching twenty feet, and on the ebb, when the current of the river helps, itis dificult to make headway against it. The race is rowed when the tideis running fast. This is a great coutrast to the sluggish ~ movement of the broad Thames at New Lon- don, where the tide is not strong enough td swing the yachts at anchor at the time chosen for starting the race. The Oxford crew rowed over the course shortly before the race in Aim. 19s., with what would be cailed good conditions on this side. Although Cook got his ideas of rowing from a visit to England, the English and the American college stroke differ radically in many points. In blade work Oxford is nearly perfection, but not much better than a fin- ished Yale crew at New London. In body work the Englishmen are inferior. They are not at all pretty to look at, for several rea- sons. They are not forced to row with straight backs, and they swing all over the boat, instead of directly fore and aft. This is partly because they are not seated over the Keel of the boat, buton the sides oppo- site the row-locks. Thus, three men are on each side, while bow and stroke sit in the middle and are shiftea just enough to trim the shell. **Anotner noticeable difference is in the body swinging fore and aft. The Englisumen reach far over on the catch, lying down in the boat and going over just as far on the finish. They shoot their hands out very fast, and start their slides slowly, running . them atthe same rate through the whole recover. They had never heard of starting the slide yery rapldly and slowing down on the catch. »There is no fault to fina with the blade work. The oars get well back of the water, and m in cleanly and quickly. They are pall through straight with a very long stroke, whi is never cut off at the finish. Every crewman is a thorough waterman bs fore he tries for the university boat, and they all handle their oars with a delicacy and skill which are only got by experience of te in singles, fours and college eights. is perfect workmanship is tacking in the average American upniversiily oar, ait our crews often show clean blade work, „British conservatism shows itself in the boats and rigging used. The shells them- selves are of cedar, finely modeled and beauw- ti finished skin. But the inside tracin is of the old style used in some of our ol shells stowed away in the boat-houses,heavy . and rather clumsy to look at. The styie of bracing which Waters, the paper shell builder, has perfected by degrees ms lighter and more effective. Thesame patent slides are used, but the track Nas hardly any siope Ss the stern and is almost par- allel with the keel. Instead of the patent row-lock exclusively by our crews, the plain iron thole-pin, consisting of two iron pins, is used. The oar has lots of play in it, rattle and thump of the oars would make a Yale coach wild. The men say they like to hear the noise, as it helps them to keep time. In a Yale boat the timing of the oar is as notseless as possibleto avoid any thump or jar, aud the patent rowlocks prevent any play. The oars are about three inches longer than are used by Yale or Harvard, the extra length being used inboard. Western Rowing Club’s Boat-House. bonded indebtedness.

A Big Crowd Attends the Sale, But There Were Omty a Few Bidderse—Notable Deals of the Past Week—The woes Reoord—Agents’ Revorts. rns past week has been an eventful one in real estate circles, The business of the week ‘Started in with a brisk demand for investment and residence erty the Oity Hall property at auction. The auc- tion sale of the old City ener site was one or the most important 23 sales of the kind wat pas ta Place this spring. The pro brought $1,800 a foot on the Market street front, ning all the way through to Ohestnut st t, or $226,000. This price is equal to 66860 a foot for the Market street frontage of 174 feet and the same price for the Chestnut street frontage of i174 feet. Dan Catlin was the pur- chaser of the property and it is the opinior of the best posted of the real estate fraternity that he has secured a bargain. The sale was well attended by representative men, capitalists and real estate investors. Mr. Charies Green of the firm of Green & La Motte, who had thé sale in charge, announced the terms of the sale, and every one was invited to bid. Among those who bid on the property against Mr. Catlin were L. A. Moffett of the firm of Moffett & Franciscus and Gus Schuch- man. Wm. H. Re@emeyer, who purchased the block Of ground between Dickson and Smith streets and Lewis street and the wharf, the site of the old city water works, for $12,500, » at the mornin sale also secured the site of the Mound Stree Engine-house, 27 feet s inches on Broadway, S6feetiinch south of Brooklyn street. Mr. Redemeyer paid $168 for — piece. THE MARKP While the excitement in * all street was at its height there was comparative qulet in St. Louis, money was and is plentiful, and business during the week was very satisfactory. In fact, the business of the past week was much heavier than that of the preceding week, and the transfers for the week were much heavier than those for the corresponding week in 1892. The following table shows the number of conveyances filed for record for each day during the past week together with the ag- gregate consideration: No, Aq 2938 onday.... ue dag „eee eee Wednesday Thursday Fride seeeeet aeeawere eee eee ee & © Pat daa $1,766,800 In the corresponding week of 1892 there were 275 conveyagsces for posses repre- senting — — alued at $1,862,118 The 0 owing bles shows the number of Dullding permits issued each day during the past week together with thelr aggregate cost: Number b 0 1 5 1 Total Aside from the auction sales of the week, which were on the whole fairly successful, there were a number of private deals forought to a successful termination. Probably the most interesting and important of these was the poceneee of the St. Peter’s Kpiscopal Church rty on —— 9 er north of Olive” street, ,000 ~ a syndicate represented by Frank Obear. sale was made through the agency of Chas. . alley and Carter 4 McLanahan.

The eyndicate have thus secured conerol of 147 feet on Grand by a depth of 100 feet on Olive street, on which they intend to erect a $500,000 thea. ter. The theater isto be first-class. It is in- tended to cater to the West End people. The 100x87 feet at the corner are owned by Howard Blossom, and the rental named is net. The corner is one of the most prominent in the West End, and will be made more so by the completion ofthe Grand avenue electric line, a double track line pe ey the extreme northern and soethern city limits, in near future. In the down-town district sales were less ous, as owners in this section think have a good enough thing with- selling and are inclined to hold on to what they have.

SENTENCING A DUCHESS, The Address of Sir Francis Jeune in Cam- mitting the Duchess of Sutherland. ‘How severely the dowager Duchess of Sutherland had burnt herown fingers when she pushed into a grate the mysterious docu- ment left by the late Duke and which the court had given the present Duke the right to examine, was made clear toher ina terribly abrupt manner by Sir Francis Jeune, the Judge the authority of whose court she had so willfully disregarded. Although she appeared before Sir Francis (m the person of her counsel, Mr. Finlay, d. Duchess of Sutherland, O.) in a most contrite and apologetic mood, Sir Henry James, Q. O., representing the Duke of Sutherland, declined to be mollified in the slightest degree, and Sir Francis Jeune ordered her grace to be both fined and im. prisoned. Her grace was waiting In an ad- joining consultation-room,and those passing near at the moment that her legal advisers conveyed the terrible intelligence to her say that a sbrill seream told the tale of the violence of her grace’s surprise and pain. When counsel had finished their remarks, the President, Sir Francis Jeune, said: ‘The Gowager Duchess of Sutherland has un- doubtedly committed an act, which, as far as I know, is without parallel or example. It is an act which it is impossible not to re- gard as of a very serious character. The order which I made, and out of which these proceedings arose, was no doubt a peculiar one.

McCarthy Gives the Story of the Land Reform Movement. LAND LEAGUE A POWERFUL ro. LITICAL ORGANIZATION. 1 The Services of Charles Stewart Parnell, ‘4 ef Michael Davitt, John Dillon and Others—Obstruction and Boycotting— _ G@iadstone’s Land Bill and Coercion Bu. ‘Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Disrarcn. To attempt to crush the record of the re- cent land and parliamentary agitation in Ire- Jand into a compass of a few pages is like try- fing to write the Teh Commandments on a mall coin or the Iliad in a nutshell. If I borrow indoing so, from myself, I must jus- tify myself with Mr. John Morley on the old Greek principle that a man may once saya thing as he would have it said—he can hardly say it twice. . For some years after the Fenian insurrec- tion there was no political agitation in Ire- Jand, but in 1870 the home rule movement was formed by one or two leading Irishmen, who thought the time was ripe for a new con- stitutional effort. The movement spread rapidly. After the general election of 1874 Some sixty Irish members were returned as Home Rulers. Home rule asks for Ireland a Separate government, still allied with the Imperial Government, on such principles as regulate the alliance between the United States of America. All that relates to local Dusiness it was proposed to delegate to the Irish Assembly; all questions of imperial policy were stillto be left to the Imperial Government. There was nothing very start- ling in the scheme. In most of the de pendencies of Great Britain home rule sys- tems of some kind were already established. One of the chief objections raisedtothe new proposal wasthat it would be practically im possible to decide the border line between Weal affairs and imperial affairs. The answer to this is, of course, that what has not been found dificult in the case of the American Republic or in the case of England and her colonies need not be found to pre- sent unsurpassable difficulties in the case of Great Britain and Ireland. SYSTEMATICALLY BEATEN. At first the home rule party was not very active. Its leader, Mr. Isaac Butt, used to have a regular home rule debate once every session, when he and his followers stated stated their views and took a division, and were, of course, defeated. Yet, while the English House of Commons was thus steadily rejecting year after year the demand for home rule, it was affording a strong argu- ment in favor of some system of local gov- ernment by constantly outvoting every proposition brought forward by the bulk of the Irish membDers relatingto Irish ques- tions. In 1877 it threw out the Irish munict- pal franchise bill, the Irish municipal privi- jeges bill and the bill for the purchase of Irish railways. In 1875 it threw out the motion for Inquiry into the working of the land act, the Grand-jury reform bill, the Irish municipal corporations bill, the municipal franchise dill. In 1876 it threw out the Irish fisheries bill, the Irish borough fran- chise bill, the Irish registration of voters bit and the Irish jand bill. These were all measures purely relating to Irish affairs, which, had they been left to the decision of the Irish members alone, would have been carried by overwhelming majorities. The Irish vote in favor of these measures was seldom less than twice as great as the op- posing votes; in some cases they were three times as great; in some cases they were four, seven and eight times greater. The strength of the new movement soon called for stronger leaders. The greatest Irish leader since O’Connell now entered po- litical life. PARNELL APPEARS. Mr. Charles Stewart Parnell, who entered the House of Commons in 1875as member for Meath, was a descendant ofa brother of the poet Parnell, and was great-grandson to Sir John Parnell, who, with his son Henry, at- terwards Lord Congleton, stood by Grattan to the last in his struggle against the Union. He was a grand-nephew orf Sir Henry Paruell, the first Lord Congleton, the advanced re- formerand friend of Lord Grey and Lord Melbourne. He was a Protestant and a mem- ber of the Protestant Synod. Mr. Parnell had all the qualities that go to make a good political leader, and the more advanced men in and out of Parliament began to look upon him as the real repre- sentative of the popular voice. In 1879 Mr. Butt died. He was an honest and able poli- tician; he was a sincere Irishman; he had called the Irish Home Rule party into exist - ence, and his name deserves grateful recol- lection in Ireland. The leadership of the Irish Parliamentary party was given to Mr. Wm. Shaw, member for Cork County, an able, intelligent man, who might have been a good leader in quieter times. But these were unguiet times. It was soon obvious that Mr. Parnell was the real leader recog- niged by the majority of the Irish Home Rule members and by the country behind them. Mr. Parnell and his following are often written aboutas if they had invented ob- struction; as if obstruction had never been practiced in the House of Commons before Mr. Parnell entered it. It should be remem- Dered that the early Irish obstruction was on measures, and was carried on with active assistance of English members. Tory party was then in power abd the Advanced Liberals were found often enough voting with the ob- in thelr fiercest obstruction to the existing government. The Irish party fought a good fight on the famous African Dill, and Mr. Parnell worked hard to reform the factories and workshops bill of 1878, the prison code and tue army and navy mutiny Dills. His earnest efforts contributed in no small degree tothe abolition of flogging in the army. RETURN OF THE LAND QUESTION. The Parliamentary demand for home rule was shown then bya grave fact. The old land question was coming up again. Mr. Butt, not very long before his death, had warned the House of Commons that the cla land war was going to break out anew. He was laughed at by English public opinion but he proved a true prophet. Mr. Parnell knew that the land act of 1870 was not the last work of legislation on his behalf. Mr. Parnell was at fret an advocate of what came to be known as the Three F’s, fair rent, fixity of tenure and free sale. But the eF’s had soon to be put aside in favor Of more ad- ideas.

DISTRESS AMONG TENANTS. bad harvests. The faflure of the potato crop threatened the bulk of the popu- lation of Ireland with starvation. The hor- rors of 1847 threatened to revive in Ireland. The Irish members urged Lord Beaconsfleld's government to take some action to relieve the distress, but nothing was doneand the distress increased. Karly in A st it was plain that the harvest was gone; famine was close at hand. Mr. Davitt hud been in Amer- ica planning out a land organization, and had returned to Ireland tocarry out his plan. Land meetings were held in many parts of Ireland, and in October Mr. Parnell, Mr. Davitt, Mr. Patrick Egan and Mr. Thomas Brennan founded the ish National Land League, the most powerful political organt- zation that had been formed in Ireland since the union. The objects of the Land League were the abolition of the existing landlord system and the introduction of peasant pro- etorship. After the Land League was founded Mr. Parnell went to America to raise money to meet thegdistress, and returned to Ireland with nearly $250,000 for the relief of distress, and thousands for the political purposes of the Land League. Relief was ind imperative ; famine was abroad and eviction Kept pace with famine. There had been over 10,000 evictions in four years. The Government did nothing to stay famine or eviction. The Land League fund, large asit was, was not nearly — 2 to cope with the * dis- tress, and fresh fünds were raised by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr, E. D. Gray, M. P., and by the Duchess of Mariborough. wife of the Lord Lieutenant, whose action was in curious contradiction to the assurances of the Government that no serious distress The condition of the coun- the Land 1 * — —— * Lord Beaconsfield appealed to the country. The Home Rule members issued a manifesto calling upon Irishmen everywhete to vote against the supporters of Lord Beacons- field’s Government. The advice was implicitly followed. The general election returned Mr. Gladstone to power at the head of a large majority. The Home Rule party in the House was largely reinforced, chiefly by men returned under the influence of Mr. Parnell, who was now definitely elected as the leader of the Irish Parliamentary party. THE NEW IRISH PARTY. Mr. Shaw and a few friends separated themselves from Mr. Parnell’s party and sat onthe Ministerial side of the House, while Mr. Parnell and his followers sat with the Opposition. The Irish party had great hopes from Mr. Gladstone’s Government. The Government on its part undoubtedly ex- pected cordial allies inthe advanced Irish party. Both sides were disappointed. It was perhaps impossivle that it should be otherwise. The Irish party found that their hopes of speedy settlement of some of the most pressing Irish grievances were not to be rapidly realized. here was thus a division between the Government and the new Irish party as soon as the new Parliament began which gradually deepened into an open breach. The wretched condl- tion of the Irish tenants, and the terrible numberof evictions, led thelrish party to bring forward a billfor the purpose of stay- ing evictions. The Governmedt adopted some Irish suggestions in their compensa- tion for disturbance bill, which proposed to extend for a few months a portionof the Ulster tenant right custom, which givesa dispossessed tenant compensation for im- rovements he may have made. It was re- ected by the House of Lords, and the Gov- ernment refused totake any stepsto force the Lords to atcept. But they promised to bring in a comprehensive measure the next session, and they appointed a commission to inquire into the condition of the agricultural population of Ireland on which commission they absolutely refuse to giveany place to any representative of the tenant farmers’ cause. The agita- tian out of doors increased. The Land Leogue advised the people to co-operate for their owa interests, and to form a sort of trade union of the tenant class, and to stand by each other in passively resisting, not merely evictions, but exactions of what they considered an unjust amountof rent above tne rate of Griffith’s valuation. GRIFFITH’S VALUATION. Griffith’s valuation was, undoubtedly, a very rough-and-tumble way of estimating the land, but at least it was very much more reasonable to go by than the rates of the tfack-rents. All rents, therefore above Griffith’s valuation were condemned by the Land league, anda practical strixe was or- ganized against the landlords extorting them. The strike was supported a form of action, or rather inaction, which soon became historical. Boycotting, so called from the name of its first victim, meant the social excommunication of any rack-renting or evicting landlord, any op- pressive agent, any land-grabber. No one who held the cause of the league dear was to- work for, buy from, sell to or hold any com- munication with the obnoxious persons. The rocess was strictly legal; nothing was to be — to the offender; nothing was to be done tor him. So long as the league and its follow ers acted strictly within the law, kept simply on the defensive, and avoided all aggression, its position was invulnerable. The respoasi- bie leaders of the Land League always strongiy condemned any other than constitu- Aena agitation. Mr. Michael Davitt earnest- ly and incessantly denounced all intimida- tion, all violence. Unfortunately these counsels were not al- ways obeyed. Thefamine and the accom- panying evictions nad left bitter fruit. Men who had been starving, who had seen their family, their friends, dying of hunger, who had been evicted to the roadside, for all that their landlord eared—such men were not in the spirit for wise counsels. The proud pa- tience which the gods are said to love is not always easy to assume, at least for ignorant peasants, starving, homeless, smarting un- der a burning sense of wrong and a wild, helpless desire for revenge. There were many outrages in different parts of the coun- try, as there had been after every Irish fam- ine; men were killed here and there; cattle, too, were killed and mutilated. These bvut- rages were made the most of in England. scattered murders were spoken of as part of a widely planned organization of massacre. Ministerialists argued that within ten months the mutilation of animalsin Ireland had in- creased to forty-seven; therefore, the liber- ties of a nation of 5,000,000 should be sus- pended. THE STATE TRIALS. The Government resolved to hold the lead- ers of the movement responsible forevery wild speech made throughout the country by every irresponsible speaker. Mr. Parnell, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Sexton and other members of Parliament were prosecuted. The State trials came on atthe close of 1880. Asthe jury could not agree, Mr. Parnellcame back to Parliament with greater power than ever. When PFarllament met in 1881, it was known that Mr. Gladstone was goingto bringin a land bill and a coercion bill, The Land League’s advocacy of open agitation had done much to decrease the secret conspiracy and midnight outrage which coercion bills have always engendered. The Government refused any concession. They would not even * in the land dul first and the coercion ill afterwards. Then the Irish members broke away from the Government altogether and opposed the coercion bill withall the means in their ower that weeks they measure, and the obstruction was only brought to a close in the end of Fébruary by acoup d’etat, when the Speaker interven- ing, deciared that the debate must gono further. Thenext day Mr. Michael Davitt was arrested. The news was received with exultation in the House and with indignation by the Irish members, who strove to speak against it, ana thirty-six were expelled from the sitting in consequence, The severance of the extreme Irish party and the Government was now complete. Mr. Bright, who had often supported Ireland be- fore, and was looked upon asa true friend by the Irish people, was one of the bitterest op- ponents of the whole national movement and of its pariiamentary leadere. The Irish national press was fiercely exasperated to And Mr. Bright voting for coercion in Ire- land. He had indeed voted for coercion be- fore in his younger days, but he had always been eloquent against it, and his ufterances were brought up against him by the Irish pa- pers. But all such recriminations were vain and vaiueless. That Mr. Bright was no longer a friend to the leaders of Irish pablic opinicn, that he was no longer at the sideof those who undoubtedly represented the feeling of the nation, was a matter indeed for regret. But they had to go on and do the best they could ithout him; they could not turn from the urse of their duty even because a great speaker anda at statesman did not think and act in his old age as he nad thought and acted when he was younger. JOHN DILLON’S ARREST. Soon after the coercion act was passed the Government arrested Mr. John Dillon. Mr. John Dillon was one of the most extreme of the Irish members, His father was Mr. John B. Dillon, the rebel of 1848, and one of the Commons ais y — to rg bout an alliance tween 7 ‘sh and the English Radicals, and some of Mr. John Bright’s speeches con. tain the warmest tributes to his honor and his ability. Mr. John Dillon, the son, was a man of much more extreme opinions. Some months after bis imprisonment, Mr. Dil- lon was released on account of in health, The coercion bill proved a hopeless failure. The Government did its best, by imprisoning members of the Land League, local leaders, riests and others, in all Sirections .. So give Ere country over again into the ands of Ribbonmen and other conspiraters, and take it out of the hands of the constitutional agl- tators. The land bill was passed and proved to be utterly inadequate to the purpose it was intended to serve. With the conclusion of Parliament a Land League Convention was summoned in the Rotunda, Dublin, in the early days of Sep- tember, 1881. The convention represented the public feeling of Ireland, as far as pubiic Opinion ever can be represented by a dele- gated body. The descendants of the Crom: wellian settlers of the North sat side by side with men of the rebel blood of Tipperary, with the impetuous people of the South, with the strong men of the midland hunting coun- ties. The most remarkable feature of the meeting was the vast number of priests who were present. CLERICAL SUPFORT. It was said at first by those who did not understand the Irish clergy that the church and the league would never form an alll- ance, But the Land League soon began fo gain powerful supporters among the Irish ecclesiastics. Archbishop MacCabe had at- tacked it early in the movement. His attack had raiseg up a powerful champion of the Land League th Archbishop Croke of Cashel. The Nationalists welcomed Archbishop Croke as their religious leader, and he traveled through Ireland in a sort of triumph, receiv- from the peasantry everywhere the most en- thusiastic reception. The priests in general began to epee the Land League programme enthusiastically. The priesthood have always been the warmest supporters of any movemeatthat has really appeared to romise to do good to the lrish people. Cler- cal ay, withthe Land League was in itselfa proof of its law-abiding and consti- tutional principles, which ought to have counted for much with the Government. But the Government appeared to be obstinately shut against all impressions. Instead of be- ing impressed bythe significance of the ec- clesiastical support of the League, the Gov- ernment seemed determined to force the priests and the Leaguers into closer sympa¢ thy by arresting on Day 20 a Catholic priest, Fr. Kugene Sheehy of Kilmallock. He was soon set free again; he at once commenced a vigorous crusade against the Ministry, and his entry into Cork, in company with Mr. Parnell, resembled a Roman triumph. The. Government was now determined to make * bold stroke. Mr. Gladstone made a bitter attack on Mr. Par- nell, to which Mr. Parnell flercely replied, andafew days after a\cescent was made upon the leaders of the Land League. Mr. Parnell, Mr. Sexton, Mr. Dillon and the chief officers of the League were arrested and con- veyed to Kilmainham prison. Mr. Egan, who was in Paris, and some others, escaped arrest. An address was at once issued to the Irish tenants, signed by the imprisoned Land Leaguers, and calling upon them to pay no rent until their leaders were liberated. The Government immediately declared the Land League illegal and suppressed its branches throughout the country. The result was a great increase in the outrages, and the country became more disturbed than ever. SEXTON’S RELEASE. After awhile Mr. Sexton was liberated on on account of Ill health, and the imprison- ment of the other Land Leaguers was evidently a great embarrassment to the Government. Private overtures of freedom were made to them if they would consent to leave the country for a time—at least of tree- dom, if they would consent to cross the Channel tothe Continent, even though they came back the next day. But the prisoners refused any such compromise. They con- sidered thatthey had been unfairly impris- oned, and they would accept no conditions. Meanwhile theaffairs of the country were going from bad to worse. The Government was unable to cope with the disaffection,and the Land act was unavailing to meet the misery of the people. The land courts were overcrowded with work; there wére thousands of cases in hand whichit w take years to dispose of, and in the mean- time the people were taking every advant- age ofthe delay. To meet the difficulty, Mr. Parnell sent out from his prison the draft of an Arrears bill, to relieve the tenant from the pressure of pastrent, andthis measure was practically accepted by the Government, who promised, if the Irish party withdrew their measure, to bring ina Ministerial Dill tothe same effect. Fresh surprises were in store. Rumors of a change of poiicy on the part of the Government were suddenly con- firmed by the liberation of Mr. Parnell, Mr. Dillon, Mr. O’Kelly, and many other of the Land League prisoners, and, more surpris- ing still, by the release of Mr. Michael Davitt. PH@NIX PARK MURDERS. The Ministry seemed really to have awakened to the gravity of the situation, and to have suddenly accepted Fox’s theory of the necessity of governing Ireland accora- ing to Irish ideas. Mr. Forster, the most un- compromising opponent of such a theory, resigned, and Lord Frederick Cavendish, a younger son of the Duke of Devonshire, was appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland in his place. Then came the terrible tragedy which shattered the fair fortune that seemed to have come at last for Ireland. On Saturday May 6, 1882, Lord Frederick Cavendish landed in Dublin; that same evening he and Mr. Burke, one of the Castle officials, were mur- dered in Phoenix Park in the clear summer twilight by assassins, who escaped at the time. The Irish leaders, Mr. Par- nell, Mr. Davitt and Mr. Dillon, issueda manifesto to the Irish people, expressing in their own heart-stricken grief the sorrow and the shame of the party andthe people they represented. The document concluded: We feel that no act has been perpetrated in our country during the exciting struggles for social and political rights of the past fifty years that has so stained the name of hos- pitable Ireland as this cowardly and unpro- voked assassination of afriendly stranger, and that, until the murderers of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke are brought to justice that stain will sully our country’s name. The Government at once brought in a crimes bill one of the most stringent ever 1 against Ireland. They then brought n and carried, after strong opposition in the House of Lords, their arrears bill, a measure to enable the tenant farmers of Ireland, un- der certain conditions, to wipe out the ar- rears of rent which had accumulated upon them. wae vn distinction ‘tie THE NEW ERA. In October another National Convention was held in Dublin, anda new and vast or- ganization formed, embracing in one all the Irish demands for home rule and for land reform. With its inauguration begins a new chapter in Irish nistory. The ten years that have passed since the foundation of the National League have been eventful years for Ireland. They have seen the conversion of a Liberal party to the cause of home rule. They have seen a grand En- lish statesman introducea Home kKule Dill nto the House ofCommons. They have seen the defeat of that statesman, the division of his followers, the long reign of a coercive Tory Government. They haveseen the pa- tient persistence of the Irish people at home and abroad in their increasing efforts to gain their rights. They have seen abortive at- tempts to strangie Ireland into silence. They have seen the death of the great Irish leader under circumstances too recent and too pain- ful to be touched on bere. But they have never seen the Irish people weakening in their determination to gain that home rule which once seemed so faraway and prob- lematical, and is now the certainty of an im- mediate future.

I am not a lover of the game, and only engage in it for a little socia pleasure and the excitement. “We play a great dealin clubdom and flatdom in New York. The people I play with can afford to lose $500 or so and not give it a passing thought. Playingcards with this class of people is a pleasure. There is no enjoyment in playing poker with professional gamblers. They are out to get your money, and by cheating they generally succeed. „I have many amusing things happen to me while playing poker. In 1875, while sum- mering at a watering place outside New York, I was accosted one evening by a well- dressed man, who asked me if I would Ike to take a hand in a game of draw. By appoint- ment I met him at 11 o’ciock that night, and we proceeded to his room, which was overa cafe on a prominent street. He introduced me to four other men and me sat down to play. Ihad a fear that everything was not on the square afterI had been in the game buta few minutes. Each man bought $200 worth of chips. After losinga little money Isaw had fallen in with a gang of card sharps, who evidently got me in the game to skin me. I had considerable money about my person, but was not afraid. Owing to the large number of highway robberies that had occurred within a few weeks I carried a revolver on account of being out late at night. I noticed one man in the crowd who had a habit of shuffling the cards so that the aces always were at the bettom of the pack. I very innocently called his attention to it and asked him to shuffle allthe cards. He looked surprised and laughed the matter off. I saw him cheating again, but did not say any- thing. At the third offense I got mad at the tnought that the men evidently picked me up fora greenhorn. I could not contain myself longer, and indignantly said: ‘Gentlemen, I see you are determined to cheat me. I guess I can cheat, too.’ Ita bombshell had exploded it would not have caused greater consternation, Every one of the men jumped to his feet and de- manded an explanation. One grabbed a chair and swung it up to bring it down on my head. Another seized a heavy water bottle to throw the contents in my face. I could see they wanted to pick a fight with me. I jumped up at the frst sign of hostilities, and, pulling my revolver, pointed at them, say- ing: It one of you move I'll puta bullet in him.” The scene was dramatic and one I shall never forget. Luckily I had taken a seat with my back tothe door. Keeping the gang covered with the revolverin my right hand I gathered all my money from the table with my left and backed to the door. I turned the knob with the hand in whichI had the money, and swinging the door open, backed out without saying a word. **While in Panama in 1884 I got into a game of poker with some nice people. We played on an ordinary green top baize card table. I noticed one of the men held remarkably strong hands, especially when the pot was large. I watched him awhile and saw he had a hole in the table at the end of the cloth. By pressing @ spring with his foot he could push upfive cards into his hand which he held over the hole. I afterwards heard of his death and boughtthe table from his et- fects.

Mr. Tezethoff, the Burglar-Catcher, In- vents a Thief-Trap for Trains. When Mr. Bernard J. Tegethoff, the grocer at Seventeenth and O’Fallon streets, caught a burglar in a trap some months ago he opened up for himself a field for his inventive genius of which he has taken an early advantage. For recently he has perfected an express car attachment which gives the messenger every advantage over the daring robber who enters the car. When the express messenger retires behind the safety inclosure of Bernard J. Tegethof. Tegethoff’s device, he hasadeadly ‘‘drop’’ on the robber, andisatthe same time pro- tected from attack. If Mr. Tegethoff’s latest invention proves as true at the critical moment as did his burglar trap, there can be no doubt of the success of the train robbers device.

Special Corresponaence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. DENVER, Colo., May 4.—An Eastern curio collector the other day picked up in a Denver pawnshop a rich relic of the early days“ of Colorado. It is a buckskin suit covered thick with Gelicately wrought bead work, Thirty years ago it was worn by Alf Slade, a famous Gesperado. He was hung by the vigilantes up in Montana. The clothes have drifted about the West liké the memory of their wild owner and will now finda fitting rest inan Eastern museum, the particular gem ofa Wild West collection. How the suit came to be in the musty old pawnshop does not mat- ter much; the story that absorbsis that of Alf Slade and his picturesque apparel in the old days when human life was cheaper than bacon, and when the six-shooter and the bag of gold dust were rulers of the plains. The suit consists ofthree garments, the conventional coat, vestand trousersof civ- llization. But in the materials aud work- manship lies the interest and the beauty. All the garments are of buckskin and silk, the choicest and finest. The coat is long, evi- dently intended to resemble the ubiquitous Prince Albert. It is lined with genuine im- ported Paisley shawl, strangely out of place in sucha garment. The sleeves are of lemon colored silk. All over the coat is the most exquisite beaa- work in all colors and many desigas. On the skirts, frontand back, are rosesand wild flowers in graduated and blended tints, true to nature. Among these flowers are inter- twined vines and foliage. The beadwork is almosta solid mass at the bottom of the skirts, but a foot higher it becomes less pro- fuse, taperingaway naturally upward. On each side of the collar are a cross, heart and anchor, the chain encircling the collar and all vividly wrought in harmonious shades, On the skirtsand sleeves is the fringe usu- ally found on sucha garment—the pioneer’s dress suit. the vest is decorated with silk embroidery, worked with peculiar skill, the designs re- sembling those on the coat. It is edged with white and black beads and the back of the vest is of blue satin. The trousersarein many respects the chief glory ofthe suit. They are long and heavy. Down each leg extend two rows of beadwork, twining ivy and rose buds. Therows are five inches apart and between them are the most delicately wrought figures in the suit. There is a hunter clad in buckskinand armed; a dog dn the run; a speeding deer; a wild and flercely painted Indian andafew six-shoot- ers and hunting Knives scattered along like punctuation marks. This ts the suit and the effect, the ensemble of it, is something gorgeous, picturesque, suggestive. It is somewhat faded and here and there the rich and heavy beadwork is torn, but it is roughly beautiful with the beauty of the plains. It is still expressive of the rough, artistic tastes of Alf Slade, the bully, the desperado, the coward. He and the unknown, squalid squaws who made it in- the little Indian village, will be remembered a this suit, vaguely and with increasing won- er. A famous thing in its day was the C. O. O. & P. P. Co., this being the som ewhat neces- sary abbreviation of the sounding name of the Central Overland California & Pike’s Peak Express Co. It was established in 1859 and 1860 by Alex Benham and Ben Fichland. who were in the employ of Russell, Majors & Wardell, the owners ofthe line. it was put in operation just after the far-famed pony express had broken down forthe time. The express company ran stages and wagon trains from Atchison, or from the end of the westward-creeping Union PacifiC wher- ever it chanced to be, to Salt Lake City, then » known as Great Salt Lake. When the line was put in operation Ben Fickland became superintendent, Alfred Slade was agent of the division from Jules- burg to Rocky Ridge and the other half, from that point to Salt Lake, was in charge of James Brumley, better known as ‘Lying Jim,“ for he was reputed to be the biggest liar in the United States. ade, as agent of the ©. O. C. & P. P. Co. had an important position. He drew $300a month for his services, and that was but a small portion of what he made out of his po- sition. The overland stage was a tremend- ous thing in those days. It was the sole line of supplies, the only route of travel and the only way out of the country forthe gold be- ing washed out of the creeks. Hundreds of men, horses, mules and wagons were re- quired to operate the system. Great trust was placed in the agents and in the drivers of the stages. Often as much as $200,000 would travel across the country, guarded by the driver of the big horse team. Of course, many thousand dollars disappeared, for hold-ups were frequent. It was said that Slade, by means of his gang ot rutlans, got the most of it, and for this and other rea sons men came to hate and fear him. Not that he would kill anybody in a fair ight, for he was acoward. But he saia ‘‘Shoot!’’ and his gang shot. It was just as effective and much safer. But Slade liked to be known as a des- perado. He cultivated that reputation. All along the line of the overland stage he came reckless men who eonstituted the population in those days. The name of Alf Slade became a synonym for all that was ruflanly and ter- rifying. . He liked outward show, and once, in thé height of his career, he went to Salt Lake City to get suitable apparel. He had made for him the sult which, after thirty years, is now in the hands of a curio coliector. A tailor cut it out ofthe finest buckskin and silk and it was turned over then to some In- dian squaws. They worked on it many months, covering the soft material with a glittering — P beads and embroidery. When it was done Slade put it on and went out foratear. He rode up and down the country with his gang, stopping at every Lit- tle station and turning it into pandemonium. flery stuff began its work. In a short time the band was dancing about the barrel so many Indians, firing sixshooters into 2 Bee Hn 3 re ie sae 1 m * — 1 4 * * 8 0 ea 1 10 i r r 8 „ : t ee ee tase em > 2 pe . . n to de known as one of the wildest of all the like | the 115 5828 . . ‘ae ek.

She had light hair and a fall figure and was handsome. The couple had six children, the eldest 19 years old and the youngest §, Before they had ned very in Kingsland the neighbors began to remark that the doctor’s wife was very fond of gaiety. She went a great deal to balls and parties, and came to the city to at- tend the theaters. After going to the thea- ter it was no unusualthing for her toreturn by way of Rutherford onthe midnight train and walk from Rutherford across to Kings- land alone, a distance of a mile and a half, part of the way leading through a cemetery. As her husband never interfered with her doing as she pleased, they got along to- gether very well. Persons began to talk about her and Wal- lace Taylor. Taylor is good looking, dark, about 82 years old and unmarried. He is treasurer of the Township Committee, treas- urer of the local chapter of the Order of For- esters, shipping clerk ln the Kingsland Loco- motive Works, and boss of a section gang on the railroad. Although he is very popular with men he never paid very much attention to the other sex until after the Hill’s went to live in Kingsland, He and Mrs, Hill became good friends. They went out to parties together, and at the many parties given by the Hilis Taylor was always a favored — Dr. Hilla rently did not let the friend- sip between his wife and the popular young fellow disturb himatall. A letter came for Mrs. Hul ten days ago. She told her hus- da nd that it was from a friend, Mrs, Strain, asking her to come to some place in Con- ecticut, where Mrs. Strain was lying III. Mrs. Hill said she would go, adding that she would also make a short visit tothe house of her brother, Augustus Broughton, who lives in South Norwalk. Nothing further was said about the matter, but last Saturday, when Dr. Hill got up, Mrs. Hii! had already teft the house and had gone to New York on the 9 o’clock train of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western road. She was alone when she got on the train and carried ho satchel. Wallace Taylor returned to the house of Mrs. Green, where he boarded, early on Saturday afternoon. He had drawn all his y at the locomotive works, and after shay- nz and dressing took the 4:18 train for this Before going he said to ; Green: e's go the city an train most likely. Ashe had not returned Tr Mrs. Green and those boarders who were friends of Taylor were feeling considerable anxiety last night. To the conductor of the train, who was one of histriends, Taylor said: I've got a job as general foreman in the construction de- partmens of the Brooklyn Navy Yerd. I used o be a sailor, you know, and this isa good thing for me.’ This is the only clew that Taylor’s friends in Kingland have to his present location. He left all his clothes in his room, not even tak- ing his satchel with him. Dr. Hill continued to go back and forth to his business In New York daily as usual, and if he was worried over his wife’s departure he said nothing about it, except to remark to his 13-year-old son, Darwin, that it was queer his mother didn’t write. Yesterday morning he left Kingsland as usual. At noon his eldest daughter, Pearl who is 16 years old, went to New York, and about 6 o'clock last evening this telegram, addressed to Pearl, was handed to the boy Darwin Hill: Come to my office: your mother is ig Dn. PUTNAM, 116 East Twenty-seventh street. The boy went to Rutherford, and from there boarded a train for this city, arriving at 10 o’clock. He went to Dr. Putnam’s house, which he vaguely remembered having seen before, as Dr. Putnam. had n the Hills’ family physician when they lived in this city, accompanied by a re ter. The doctor, whois an old, smooth faced, spare man, appeared in his night dress and, after learning who the boy was, said: ‘*Your mother died this evening at the Putnam House just around the corner. This gentieman,’’ pointing to a middle-aged man ene near by, runs the Putnam House. He'll take you over there with him.’’ In answer to some questions asked by the reporter Dr. Putnam said: ‘‘Mrs. Hill came here last Saturday to see the war ships. she met allace Taylor, a friend of hers, on Twenty-third street, and they dined together. She ate a number of raw clams for dinner and that evening she had a severe attack of cholera morbus. Mr. Taylor took her to the Putnam House where I was called to attend ber. She recovered quick- ly from the attack and was nearly well,jwhen she caught cold and peritonitis set if, eyentually causing her death,“ ‘*Was she in a delicate condition,“ asked a the greatest newspaper success in the 7. Men purchased by its present proprietor the Won had a circulation less than 20,000. Acommittee of the fargest advertisers in de York who made e scrutinizing examina- tion of all the books and accounts of the WORLD certifies that its dally net paid cir- epilation, all returns, free copies, papers to employes, etc., deducted, is 875,000. Speaking of its monstrous edition an art! @le sketching the history of the proprietor says: „in 1885 the Sun, which had long main- the lead in circulation, and had em- the fact by printing figures dally, Was compelled to lower its colors to the very man whose staying qualities it had so conde- scendingly doubted three years before. From that day to this the Wor_p has maintained its position of leadership in every direction. The excessive labor necessarily involved, however, seriously impaired Mr. Pulitzer’s health, and in the fall of is90, under the posi- tive orders of his physitians, he decided to take a complete rest which had so long been needed. In October of 1800, therefore, he formed a board of control of his Meutenants, and ceased for a time to exercise that untiring and peculiarly per- sonal management which had contributed so largely to the success of the Post-DisPaTcH and the WORLD. The extraordinary potency of Mr. Pulitzer’s virile personality can not be better indicated than by the simple facts that prior to his withdrawal the circulation of the Womo had increased steadily without a break in the continuity of growth,that during hig absence it remained ata standstill, and that since his resumption of personal direc- . thom in 1891 it has taken long strides upward, end is to-day larger than ever before in the history ofthe paper. Other instances with- outnumber might be gtven ot the effect of the strong personal element which Mr. Pu- litger bas infused into the most minute detail of every undertaking in which ne has engaged, But this is neither the time nor place. Itis sufficient nowto say that whatever of originality the WorRLD has shown, whatever of force it has displayed, whatever of character it has developed, whatever of service it has performed, what- Wer ot success it us achieved have sprung Girectiy from the mind of its creator. What the Greeleys.and the Raymonds and the Ben- netts did for journalism thirty years ago, wrote James Gordon Bennett inthe Herald im 1890, ‘‘Pullitger has done to-day. As for the Herald, we drop our colors to him. He made success Upon success against our prejudices, bas succeededall along the line, roused a spirit of enterprise and personality which up tothistime has not been known. An idea of his interest in all that concerns the world at the present time may be formed from the fact that he has directed by cable the publication of every important article within these 100 pages with the single excep- tion of the one which was not written until he sailed from Liverpool last Wednesday and ends here.“ UNFAIR TESTS, Inventer Durst Dissatisfied With Result of His Gun Trials.

Well-Known Counterfeliter Picked Up at Round Mountain, Ala. Macon, Ga., May 6.—The capture of George Burke, the well-known counterfelter and green goods shover, isannounced. He was picked up at Round Mountain in Alabama by United States Marshal Trippe. Two months ago he disappeared from Georgia and took up hig abode in the vicinity of Round Moun- tain. Here he made counterfeit money on the wholesale and operated a small still, which he made from an air valve stolen from the Bass furnace. The still was put up in a double chimney in the house, andthe still was in one fire-place Wulle the work was in another. and a half gallons of liquor per day and was said to be the smallest still ever operated. Several days ago Officer Trippe captured aman named Erwin in Calboun County, Ala., where he had been shoving counterfeit money liberally about a country store, and after his capture Erwin confessed and gave the gang away. s said George Burke made the money at his home near Round Mountain, and that he made the coin in alldenominations, from 6 cents up to $1. Erwin had on his person when captured $13,- 000. The oMcers proceeded te Hound Moun- tain and raided the home of Burke. The little still was captured and destreyed. No mold could found and it is believed that Burke's mother threw them into the river while the officers were securing her son. POLICE EXTORTION. Dr. Parkhurst Takes Up Another Case Against New York’s Finest. New ok, May 6.—The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has found what he believes to be another instance of extortion and oppression by the police, He has taken up the case and will back it with the influence of the Society for the Prevention of Crime. The case in point is that of Philip Kilevent and his wife, Re- becca, found guilty of robbery in Judge Cow- ing’s court. March 18 last, the jury having made a strong recommendation for mercy for the man and an extra strong one forthe wife, which is one peeu- liar feature ina story pretty well marked with vicious features, The charge on which they were found guilty, Dr. Parkhurst said to-day, was a ‘trum up charge, prompted by malice apd brought because The levent had not paid for police protection, Suffolk street. The testimony for the prose- cution was that the twoPoies, John Phillips and Michael Roginsky, entered their saloon Feb. & last and drank considerably. Klevent invited Phillips down into the basement on o pretense of introducing him toa beauti- irl. When he got him down here he threw him on a bed containing $250. Then they let Phillips go. He went upstairs and he and Roginsky were kicked out of doors and the empty purse thrown after them. They made no outcry but went to look for a and arrested Kievent and his wife. The defense was that Philips and Roginsky were not im Kievent’s at the time they alleged they were robbed. They were at the house of a Mr.Gatr in Norfolk street and were drinking and carousing there. There were some sixteen witnesses to thateffect, Yet the prisoners were found gulity. The motive alleged is tbat Kievent has not paid the police assessments. It was said at the time ofthe police court examination that the whole thing could be hushed up for $150. ‘*Il have investigated the case, said ‘Sun- beam’ Irving to-day. We shall do all we canto help them to geta new trial., Some people may think tnat itis wrong for Dr. arkhurst to take the side ofa. man convict- ed of having kept a disorderly house, but he is a Just man and cannot Dear to see anybody suffer a wrong. The case will come up next Wednesday. Sentence was to have been pronounced to- dez but the discovery of new evidence has deferred it. HE BEAT THE SOUTHERN HOTEL. Wallace R.

LEBANON, Ky., May 6.—The celebrated Dr. Hourigan murder case was disposed of to- day, when the jury, after being out about twenty-four hours, returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter, and fixing Houri- gan’s punishment at ten year in the peni+ tentiary. Eleven of the jur favored a term of twenty-one years and one a sentence for two years, and a compromise was effected onten years, as above stated. The crime for which Hourigan stands convicted was Killing Sam Hays in April, 1688. Hays was his brother-in-law, and the difficulty arose over a loan of $250, which Hays had made Hourigan, b The latter was arressted at once after the killing and placed in the Lebanon jail, where a mobfrom his neighborhood attempted to take him for thé purpose of administering lynch law. The noise of the mob and Hou- rigan’s outcries aroused the citizens, and the men were forced to abandon their purpose. Hourigan was granted a change of venue to the Taylor Ofrcuit Court, where the case was tried, a verdict of ninety years being re- turned, He was granted a new trial, how- ever, and was meanwhile sent to the Bards- town fan for safe keeping. Here he escaped from jail, but was subsequently captu in ast Tennessee and brought back to p UIs ville, where he was afterward admitted to bail. Since then the case has bad two mistrials and numerous continuantces. It has been one of the most costly cases in the his- tory ofthe State, which it has mulcted in the sum of nearly $60,000.

J., May 6.—Princeton has a Borgia,“ and is developing a story of crime that will outrival in interest the Har- risor Buchanan wife-poisoning cases. The central Ogure in the story is Mrs. Mattie Stann, a woman of 60, tal and angular, but with a face that is Kindly and eyes that give out no evidence of viciousness or depravity. But this woman now occupies a cell in the Mercer County Peni- tentiary at Trenton. She was locked up on suspicion of having murdered her own son by administering to him regulariy and continu- ously for eight weeks or more quantities of Mrs. Mattie Shann. bichloride of mercury. She is suspected of having induced the boy to submit to an ex- amination that enabled her to place an in- surance of over $1,200 on his life, and then, in order to obtain this money, of having de- liberately and almost immediately begun the work of Killing him with slow poison. Not only is this crime laid at the mother’s door, Dut there is strong ground for the sus- picion that Mrs. Shann caused.the death of her husband November by similiar means. Frederick Shann’s body now lies in Rocky Hill Cemetery, three miles from Princ - ton, and it will be exbumed as boon as the Prosecuting Attorney can obtain ‘the neces- sary permission, the cemetery being located in another county. The proposed investigation into the elder Shann’s death isthe direct result of the de- velooments brought out in the inquest on the death of his son, John Shann. The same motive is claimed to be back of both alle ged crimes—to secure the amount of insurance Delicies on the lives of the victims.

It was brought out through the testimony of members of the family that the only person who administered medicine to the young man was Mrs. Shana. She herself confirmed this and asserted that she had not made one mistake in following the d4octor’s directions. Dr. Bergen, the attending physician, had prescribed tablets composed each of seven and seven-tenths grains of bichloride of mercury and three and three-tenths grains muriate of ammonia to be used for disinfect- ing pur es inthe sick room. These tablets were to dissolved in water and the liquid —— about. The condition ot the body owed that the tablets were given tothe patient Internally. The mouth was inflamed and sore from contact with the poison. Druggist Burke, who sold Mrs. Sbhann all the medicines for her son, declared that the mercurial tablets were duly marked poison“ by him, and that he gave specific directions with them. He put them up in the manner called for by Dr. Bergen. alomel in theform of tablets was frequently pre- scribed during the young man’s iliness, and the tablets each contained ome-tenth of a grain of corrosive sublimate. The calomel prescription was ys renewed unless ex- pressly ordered ty the physician, and at no time wag enough s! n to-injure a person. Mrs. Shann kept a — and she and her family ve lived in Princeton for years. Young Shann died Tuesday, April 25. Dr. Bergen, who attended him, diagnosed his ailment as gastritis. Like his father, he carried insurance on bis life and the policies were made payable to his mother. There were two policies, one for $1,000 in the Man- hattan Insurance Co. and one paid-up ees A for $121 in the Metropolitan company. ©. Borden, a local agent and a neighbor of the Shanns, made out the policies. Howard W. Goff „a special agent for the Manhattan company, came to Princeton the day following young Shann’s death to inves- tigate. Rumors of fol play came to his ears and heinformed the company that an autopsy should be held before any payment was made. Borden heard of this and that night sent a note to \irs. Shann telling her she had better send for her counsel. He was violating rule of his company in doing and to prevent detection he added the note the words, Burn this.

In January there was the greet drop in Distilling and Cattle Feeding, after the bull movement which had carried itabove 72. The collapse ruduced the price suddenly to the 80s, and the shrink- age since has reduced it to the early 20s. The history of the great Reading collapse is very similar and too well Known to need repeti- tion. Last week came the smaller col- lapse in the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan, and this week the bewildering breakdown of Oordage. In each of these cases the extraordinary feat- ure has been the swiftness and the extent of the downward flight.

New YorK, May 6.—Facts and particulars regarding the inside causes which led to the downfall of the National Cordage Co. are gradually leaking out, and the mystery sur- rounding the unloading of the stock seems about to be unraveled. Jobn Good, of the John Good Cordage and Machine Co., was seen by a reporter to-day and was asked if it was true that several directors of his company had called on Mr. James M.

You never cantell. A man looking over the Ust a week ago would have said prices were certainly on a rock bottom basis, that all the water had been squeezed out of every- thing. Yet mark the declines in a dozen dif- ferent stocks since that time. There may be many more bubbles in the market, it is im- possible to discriminate. Wecan only state the general proposition that if any stock or stocks are held up speculatively, if theyz are selling on a higher plane than is merited by the physical condition o ment of the Monetary Conference until November next is held to be another in- dication thatthe President intends to cali an extra session of Congress in the early fall. It has been insisted upon by some of the European delegates to the con- ference that a definite postponement of the silver question should originate with the United States. The assembling of * in extra ses- sion in September will afford time for the in- tentions of that body in regard to the Sher- man law and the silver question generally to be clearly made known before the meeting ofthe conference. It is i t quite pos- sible that upon the action of Congress may depend the question whether the confer- ence will reconvene at all. It is now said that Gov. McCreary of Kentucky will be un- able to continue to serve upon the commis- good carbonate ore monthly. A great deal of important development work is being carried on, and it seems very probable that ship- ments are to be continuous. The Valley — ple are greatly elated over another very fine strike just made in their new property. For some time past a deal of new development work has been carried on, and this has resulted in the opening of a new body ofcarbonates which runs well in silver andlead. The most encouraging feature of the strike is the fact that the ore chute is an entirely new one, and promises to open out very well. On the Robert E. Lee four lesseesare now taking outana shipping considerable very good ore. Only this week another good body of carbonate ore was encountered, a — assay of which runs 147 ounces in silver, and this promises to improve still more with further development.

The Supreme Court ofthe United States has reversed the decision of the District Court of the United States in the Bowman-Patrick case, which means a big victory for the ap- pellant, Mr. W. F. Patrick of this city. The case was brought by Mr. Bowman several years ago for a half interest in the famous Col. Sellers mine of Leadville. It was alleged that Patrick bought the Interest from Bowman Dy means of deception, and securing it for a song with Fruits.

Are these such times? It would seem that they are. For many months past the Danks of this city and for some month spast the banks of the whole country have been devoting their energies to contraction. The doml- nating motive of their managers has been not money making, but safety. They have been preparing for a storm and have been reducing their loans as fast as possible. Particularly have they been doing this in the case Ofloans, the collateral against which has not been ofa readily negotiable charac- ter, as for instance commercial paper. Time loans on good negotiable stock collateral with an ample margin have not been hard to obtain, while the call loans on Stock Exchange collateral | have, for the most part, been as easy to ob- tainasever. All these, the discrimination against commercial paper, the lesser dis- crimination against time loans on stock col- lateral and the case of money on call, de- note the same thing, namely,a shrinkage of credit and a decline of confidence. That these things have borne heavily both on the mercantile and the financial communities is undoubted. There have been many busi- ness failures during the past few weeks. sion.

EXCITEMENT ABATED AND CDNFIDENCE IN A MEASURE RENEWED. NEW YORK, May6.—The Zvening Post says financially: The financial tempest of the week has now spent its energy; the normal forces of the stock market began to-day to operate again. There was necessarily con- fusion and irregularity, but the excitement was past and trading settled down to some- thing like its ordinary volume. Here and there, notably, as might be supposed in the industrial stocks, the continued covering of shorts pushed prices in the end considerably above yesterday’s closing level.

St. Louis, At the time of her death, lived with her parents at course, the great de- 19-year-old girl, clines of prices in the securities would not have occurred but for their previous inflation. But this previous inflation was due to an expansion of credit, and itis entirely correct tosay that the de- clines in values were due to a shrinkage of credit and a decline of confidence. In the case of the Cordage Company the shrinkage of credit acted in a great many ways at once. For some timepast the banks shown less and less desire loan money to the com puny aper, particularly as the notes offered to the banks have seemed in each case to in- dicate the use ofthe same credit over and over again; on none of these notes would ap- other names than those Cordage, company the constituent companies or the individual insiders.

Written for the SUNDAY POsT-DIsPATCH. The great French philosopher, Ernest Hello, who is not as well known as be de- serves to be, in one of his works gives this beautiful definition of art: Art is the stam- mering attempt on the part of man who, exiled from terrestial Paradise and not yet arrived in celestial Paradise, sings st ill and sings already of lost beauty. He fell; the realm of beauty is closed to him; in the land of his ene he traces a sketch of his lost home.

All that is necessary to make this idea a success isa guarantee of $5.00.

The guaranty of $5,000 does not mean the outlay of that much money by any means. The re- ceipts would surely equalthat. Putting the estimate ridiculously low, say an attendance of $1,000 persons a night, this would represent aweekly income from the concert of over $1,500 which would be $200 in excess of the expenses for the orchestra. At that rate the toncerts would be self sustaining. Under the circumstances the guaranteeing of 8,00 would be a email matter attended with very littie risk tothe Fall Festivities Committee and it they will open thelireyesto the musical needs of tae city they will furnish all with an tract in which there is an abundance of bot- tom lands through which the Meramec River flows. Select then a location fora lake of suitable Gimensions and have it so arranged by the usual engineering devices that the current of the river could be thrown into it and shut off at will, Under ordinary circumstances by having a proper outlet to the lake atthe lower end the current of the river could be permitted to flow continuously through it and thus pre- vent the water from becoming stagnant. In cases of freshets and heavy rises the proper precautions could be taken to prevent the channel of the river from being diverted from its course and in all probability ruining the lake. Mr. Pitzman thinks this is the most feasible plan and says that at certain points along the Meramec, not more than thirty odd miles from the city, he knows of springs whose output alone would maintain just such a lake the year in and out, Thy Place Is Hers. ny J. n.

In view of the fact that St. Louis will enter- tain a large number of World’s Fair visitors this year, we venture to suggest to the grocers of the city the feasibility of holding a food exposition here duriag a part of the summer, or early ia September.

Chrysantheme,’’ 1 thought why not transform this park thfs fail into a modern Nagasaki! Siowly as the shades of night closed around us. mingling all things in the binish darkness, this Japan surrounding us became once more by degrees, little by little, a fairy- Mke and enchanted country. Tue great tains, now all black, were mirrored and doubled in the still water at their feet, on which we floated, refiecting therein their sharply reversed outlines and presenting the mirage of fearfal precipices over which we hung. ‘The stars also were reversed in thelr order, Making in the depths of the imaginary abyss a sprinkling of tiny phosphorescent have a food exposition. There is compara- tively littie difference in the registry of the thermometers of both cities on a hot day. Every big city is arranging for such an ex- position. Worcester, Mass., is going to have one. At this exhivit the best ciass of trade will be represented, and the desire is to have some local cooking school to take hold, for the manufacturers of the goods con- sumed by such a class will be pleased to co- operate. All the grocers will be asked to as- sist and recommend to the best of their cus- 2 the wisdom ot attending the expos!- ion. The retail grocers of Baltimore, Md. re- cently held a meeting for the purpose of con- sidering pians for an exhibition similar to those held in Brookiyn and New York. It will consist of cereals and their various prod- ucts in every form, as well as all kinds of groceries. The meeting was largely attend- ed, aud it was decided to held the exhibition. The members of the organization, of whom there are between 500 and 600, are enthusiastic over the prospect, and have siguifled their intention of doing all ian thelr power to make the affair a success. Ihere will be exhibits by all of the promi- nent manufacturers from all over the county, and of the eighty spaces to be used a large number have already beentaken. Sev- eral well-known Baltimore manufacturers Will have exhibits. There will be dally lectures by persons of national reputation on subjects pertaining to cooking, etc. There will also de a large military band in attendance each day.

At the Olympic to-night Col. R. G. Inger- soll will jecture on Shakspeare. His criticism and analysis of the writings of the „Bard of Avon are remarkable for their originality. To-morrow night at the Olympic the first production hereof Victorien Sardou’s emi- nently successful comedy, Amerieans Abroad, by Daniel Frquman's Lyceum Theater company will take place. The play proved a decided triumph at the New Tors Lyceum. Itis spoken of as a comedy that appeals to cultured taste—a play of delicate touches, an undercurrent of subtle humor with a vein of pathos. Its atmosphere is healthful, its sentiment wholesome, and its climaxes striking from the fact that they are natural and dramatic. The play tells a simple story in a direct and pleasing way, the narrative being based upon the social environment of an American family in Paris. Richard rairbanks, Florence Winthrop and her cousin, Jessie, are sur- rounded in Paris by hosts of admirers, fatterers and fortune-hunters. To test the genuineness of their friendship, the idea occurs to them to pretend poverty, and so ft is gravely an- nounced that their immense fortune has vanished and that they are as poor as church mice. Florence takes up painting for a living; Jessie becomes a singing teacher, and Fairbanks aids and abets the girls in their pranks. On this theme is based the story, which is told simply and pieas- antly through the first and second acts, but in act three there develops considerable dra- matic force, which for a time appears quite tragic. In addition to Miss Cayvan, Miss Shannon and Mr. LeMoyne, Mr. Herbert Kel- cer will be seen as an AMerican artist in Paris—an American to whom rich Americans are not attractive; Mr. Ratcliffe will be seen as a Frenchman of the world, and Mr. Bayn- tun as a French fortune hunter. Mrs. Wal- cot, as the French Baroness de Beaumont, enacts the role of a society match-maker. Mr. Cook will be seen in the character part of an English butler, whose fortunes are united to the American family. Mary Elliott- Page, Madge Carr and C. W. King have typical character parts. The action begins at a private hotel in Cannes, is continued in Miss Winthrop’s studio in Paris, and con- cluded in a chateau in the country near Paris. ; The following is the cast: Gilbert Raymond, an American artist, Herbert Kelcey; Richard Fairbanks, a rich American, W. J. LeMoyne; Landoiphe, a Frenchman of leisure, EK. J. Ratcliffe; Cassamir Lajolly, a social parasite, lienry Bayntun; Bardin, a decorative artist, Chas. W. King; Pendleton, butier to Fair- banks, Augustus Cook; Lord Saltonstall, an English tourist, Mr. King; Marcel, V. Glaser; Florence Winthrop, an American girl, Miss Georgia Cayvan ; Jessie Fairbanks, her cousin; EMe Shannon; Baroness de Beaumont, a so- ciety broker, Mrs. Chas. Walcot; Mme. Pontcarre, a singing teacher, Mary Elliott- Page; Mme. Olivares, from Rio Janeiro; Madge Carr; Angela and Ida, daughters of Mme. Olivares, Ida Conquest and Winona Shannon; Julie, Josephine Bennett. MARIE WAINWRIGHT AT THE GRAND. To-night Miss Marie Wainwright will be- gin ber farewell engagement atthe Grand Opera-house,as she has decided to finally re- tire at the end of the present season. She will present her production of Amy RobDsart,’’ which made such a success when given here last year. The story, that of Scott's famous novel, **‘Kenilworth,’’ is one of absorbing interest, and the scenes depicted are among the most celebrated in English his- tory. The costuming is particularly gorgeous and the pageantry imposing. The cast is nearly the original, including Barton Hill, Wm. Ingersoll and Kate Biancke, while Eleanor Carey takes the part of Queen Elizabeth. The performonce on Monday will be forthe benefit of the Mullanphy Hospital. DR. CARVER AT POPE'S. Dr. Frank W. Carver, the famous Indian scoutand prairie pilot, champion rifie shot of the world, in his romantic spectacular play of wild Western Ute, The Scout, will be the attraction at Pope's Theater this week, beginning with the usual perform- ances to-day. The play tells a highly sensa- tional story of adventure and vicissitude in the far West. The battle with the Indians in the river, and the falling of the scout’s horse from the bridge into the gorge, actual inci- dentsin full view of the audience, and not portrayed in dialogue, are said to de marvels of realism. The sScout’’ is not distinctively a ent dramatic effort. It ig not intended to such. Fy is simply a clever production, ro- markable for its realities, presented by the actual character whom it describes and a competent company. “LA BELLE Russ“ AT THE HAGAN. It was intended originally to close the Hagan on Saturday night, but owing to the — Jeter Lewis was unable to play ast Sunday night, M r Hagan nas ar- ranged to have Miss Lewis remain and ap- pear to-night in La Belle Russe, her greatest play.

A QUAINT OLD MAN. Joseph Michel, Who in ths Early Days Sold Peanuts on the River. A letter recetved from New Madrid states that Joseoh Michelis still alive, though now more than 90 years of age. Inthe early days when keelboats and barges were the princi- pal craftson the river there was no better known man nor more eccentric character than Joseph Michel. While in St. Louis he was always a wel- comed guestatthe ‘‘Cross Keys’’ on Second street, between Spruce and Poplar, kept by James Gonzales. Thistavern was the prin- cipal resort of boatmen and voyagers. Though well knownin st. Louis, Mr. Mich- el’s home was on the river, a short distance below New Madrid, where hekept a wood yard for many years for the supply of fuel to steamboats.

THE ARMY ‘OF LIBERTY. An Ant. Prohibition Secret Organization That Is Growing in Kansas. ‘PoreKa, Kan., May6.—The State Temper- ahce Unton received reports to-day from eigbt counties in Southwest Kansas and three counties in the Sixth Congressional District, which show that the Army of Liberty, the organization recently started to bring about the overthrow of prohibition, is having a tremendous growth. Lodges have deen orga in ever large town in the counties reporting and the mem- bership is mapidip dpeseasing. It is a non- partisan movement, if which leading Demo- crats, Populists and Republicans are interested. Its businessis done entirely in secret, the plan of work being something similar to the why pe Alliance as it was originally inaugufa in this State. The society vires every member to take an oath that will mot support any candidate for e who is not openly opposed to the pronibitory law. In the fall elections next year the members of the Army of Liberty will cagt their solid vote for the candidates for member of the Legislature who, regardless of politics, will pledge them- selves in favor of a resubmission of the pro- hibition question. It is twelve years since the adoption of the prohibitory amendment, and it is argued that since then the State has almost doubied in population, and that. the sentiment of the people on the liquor question _ undergone field in every county in the State. It is not likely that the Republican party will incor- rate a prohibition, plank in its platform, as t has done every year since the amendment was adopted. The State Temperance Union, as an offset to the Army of Liberty, is organizing law and order leagues allover the State. President Milner, John A. Murray, R. B. Welch and other prominent Probibitionists have already enlistedi inigthe Prohibition campaign. They are demanding a better enforcement of the prohibitory law, and asa resuit of this agitation there have been more arrests in the past thirty days for violations of the prohibitory law than ever before in the same period since the law went into effect. 7 — — What is the use to state the unpleasant symptoms of dys- pepsia.

Coo, May 5.—The sympathetic soul ot Chicago has been touched this week by the woes of the Esquimauxat the World’s Fair grounds. The gevoit ofthe northern natives against the indignity and discomfort of wear- ing sealskin sers in spring has moved even the press toa protest in their behalf, Sealskin is very well in its place, so they say, and may be very desirable when the mer- cury is traveling down toward sero, but it becomes a burden when the mercury turns the other way, and the warm winds and the green grass shows that spring is here, with summer soon to follow. But it is not so much the discomfort as the indignitity of which compiaint is made. It ig an outrage upon human liberty, it is said, and upon that equality of birth, of which Mr. Jefferson eloquently spoke, to compel a man to wear sealskin trousers when he prefers that these useful articles of apparel be made ofsome other material. It is urged that, though these Esquimaux may wear sealskin trousers when at home in Labrador, cond!i- tions are greatly altered when they come to Chicago. Thisisthe typical American city. America is the land of freedom, and if in that city, which is supposed to present its char- acteristics best, a man cannot wear any kind of breeches he chooses, where, then, can he wear them. But the Esquimaux, though Inside the Ex- position grounds, are not entirely under the control of the Exposition management. They are leased, as it were, by a private company, and the contracts of that company call for sealskin breeches as well as Esquimaux. The one is useless without the other. The com- pany does not want to show an Esquimau dressed like an ordinary Chicago citizen, and consequently it means to keep the nether limbs of those Esquimaux in sealskin though the mercury goes to 110 deg. in the shade this summer. The case has been in Judge McConnell’s court this week, and Peter Mesherand Thos. Pallacier, two of the Esquimaux, have testi- fied to their sufferings in sealskin breeches since the weather has been warm. They have told, with pathos, how they perspired, and their limbs grew. heavy and their strength departed under the weight of sealskin, and they sought relief and could not obtain it. Even amid the mighty filnging of mud at- tending the Mayoralty race, Chicago found time to notice the case of the Esquimaux and comment upon it. But sympathy will probably avail nothing. The law, it is understood, takes no cog- nizance of such emotions. There is nothing about sympathy in Blackstone or Kent. The Judge is supposed to split hairs with the coolness and impartiality of something that is without feeling or life. The company flourished its contracts in court. These con- tracts called for sealskin breeches, be the weather warm or be it cold. The constitu- tion of the United States guarantees the in- Violability of contracts, and it looks as if the Esquimaux would have to swelter through the summer as best they can. Meanwhile they are making the most of life in the village. Oneof the most itnterest- ing characters among tnem is a little Prince, who has been ill with the measles. The Esquimaux are near the Fifty -seventh street entrance of the park. Passing out at this gate one is upon the Midway Plaisance. This is the side show to the Fair. Speaking in a metaphorical sense, the fat women and the skeleton men and the Circassian beauties of the Fair are located here. Midway Piaisance isa very pretty name, but at present this piace looks more like a lumber-yard thana pleasure ground, which its name means. The Austrian village and the German village are located here, and both will present some interesting features, especially to students of history, as each will a ve a mediaeval section. There will also be a of South sea Islanders, and it is announced that its inhab- itants will depictall the customs of the na- tives of Polynesia. As one of the most impor- tant of these, and certainly the most famous of them, is cannibalism, it is supposed that the performance will not quite equal the promise, There will de a Dahomey village also, if Gen. Dodds and his French soldiers and their mitrallieuses and breech-loading rifies leave enough DahoOmeyans to u a village. A real Amazon of the warlike tribe such as — Behanzin of Dahomey had in his army woul make this village the star attraction of the Midway Plaisance, but even enterprising Chicago may not be abie to capture the Ama zon and bring her here. The inhabitants of the Javanese village have artived, and they form a numerous — page of almost 150 persone, 41 dane.

It Is Represented at the Fair in a Quite Shocking Way. The partial opening of the Palace of Art has added much to the attractiveness of the great Fair. It contains the greatest number of beautiful objects: in the Exposition, and the finest collection of paintings ever seen tn thiscountry. Throgghout the building, and likewise all throughthe grounds.there is a startling absence of drapery. about the figures on display. All aroand the lower end of the magnif- cent Court of Honor, the roofs of the 7 the r the ele Hall, and Machinery Hall are fringed with figures of nude men. They stand clear of the roofagainst the sky. They are of heroic size and very boldly exe- cuted; not a detall has the loving care of the fin-de- siecle sculptors, who learned their calling in Europe. The majority of figures are of civilized men and a few are of savages. The few savages are sculptured with regard for the feelings of the West, for each wears a tiny piece of cov- ering ust as our red Indians do. This badge ty is what the cowboys call a ‘‘gee 3 what in the Hast is Known as a But the civilized or white men are Itless of all covering except their complexions. They are forty feet up in the air, but are so large that they might as well be on a level — the public for all the concealment they make.

The next moment, however. he exclaimed: **I wish to heaven, you had not told me, for it’s compoundinga felony, that’s what it is. ef Mr. Blake looked at the speaker with an amused smile, then said airily: Speak, my friend, then, if it eases your mind.

John agreed tothis proposal, then rose and left the room, Dut at the door he turned and looked back to see Mr. Blake, who had also risen, leaning against the window and softly stroking his short, black beard, as he gazed down upon the something or: someone in the garden below, with a look of interest. Woll, if bis story ig, true, the man must havea nerve of iron, or feel very sure of his own powers, for he has put himselfin my power, and yet he doesn’t show any fear. As this thought passed through John’s mind Mr. Blake looked round, and, as their eyes met, deckoned to the landlord with a smile, who went forward and saw that the someone whom Mr. Biake had been watching was his little Daisy, who had been taking what she called ‘Sa good-night run round the garden. Pointing to the child Mr. Blake sald softly: Some day I hope to gather to my heart a little English home-fiower also, and for her sake, my friend, lamust work; for ourselves, we can bear poverty and want, but for such as they—’’ This evidence of feeling on the part of his guest touched the landlord, and with a **Right, Mr. Blake, you're right there, he once more went toward the. door, and this time was not beckoned to return. For the rest of that evening John was so very thoughtful and absent in manner that Bessie grew anxious, and her fears aid not lessen when, the next morning her husband started off in company with Mr. Blake, and without having told his wife where they were going; all tnat he would was, that they would not return until in the afternoon. they aid return was no longer tfuland absent, but res and ex- and in such high spirits Bessie feared he had een drinking, a fault that her husband had never been guilty of before, for John was a very temperate man; bat when. she hinted this to him, of being angry he only laughed uproa and enatching Daisy up into his arms, the child \‘how she would like to be a rich and gran laay.”’ „Don't put such foolish in her head, John, said the mother, must learn tO work for her 1 father and mother and theirs too before her.

An hour later Bessie, who was in a rest- less sus John had refused ess was that him away in this sudden manner, heard the door of Mr. Blake’s room open, and went out to see What was wanted, if thing, and * that gentleman face to face, asked: Are you better; sir?’’ Not much, passing his hand wearily | „ pain is still-so great, and the heat so overpowering, that I thinka stroll through the guiet 25 will refresh me. ss Won't you dave anything detore you go out, sir?“ ‘‘Notning, madam, thank you, until I re- turn in a short half -nour.’ Shall I send that parcel for you to the sta- — one Mr. Blake held but offer was decltned, Mr. Blake saying that he would have to pass the station on his way to the shady lanes he meant to visit. ; But the ‘‘short balf-hour’’ passed, an! another and another, and yet Mr. Blake did not return, nor had he made his appearance when John came home. **Gone!’’ he exclaimed on hearing Bessie’s tale. Impossible!“ and his face grew ghastly white as he spoke. Pushing his wife roughly aside, Johan ran upstairs; first into sitting-room he went, then into the biue- m, both of which were empty, but onthe Ssing-table of the latter was a folded pa- per, which. John opened with trembling fingbrs and read: May all good-luck Adieu, friend Neison. attend you.’’ With a groan Joha dropped the paper and sank into the nearest chair. What is the matter, John, what alls you?“ | asked Bessie, who had followed her husband inte the room. He has gone, Bessie, and we are ruined.’’ No, dear, no, she answered consolingly, picking up the paper and reading its short notice. ‘‘Even if he has gone without pay- ing his last bill, it is but a small one, It won't hurt us. lm a ruined man, Bessie—ana disgraced, too. God forgive me. Bessie, without a word, crossed the room and turped the key in the jock to make sure of not being disturbed, then, coming back to her husband’s side, knelt down and winding her arms arou him, drew his head on her breast and w rea: **Tell me all, dear, and, whatever it be, we will bear it together. "> These words were spoken by the brave, true wife in a steady voice, but her face was white and her eyes full of trouble and dread of what she was to hear. lm not worthy, Bess, fer I've deen a scoundrel as well as a fol,“ said John, striving, though only ina half-hearted fash- ion, to push her away from him, but Bessie’s arms on clung the tighter at this confes- sion. it was for the worst as well as for the better, dear husband, she whispered softly, that I became your wife, so whatever the trouble be, it is my right to know and help ou. So John told her all the story of his weak ness, his temptation and sin, for when he found that the bank note, which Mr. Blake averred he had made himself, was accepted by the bank at 3— after the closest examination as genuine, he had listened to the voiceof the tempter, who, seeing the man’s vanity and weakness, had played uponitso skillfully that John’s cupidity had been aroused. We'll soon become rich men, Nelson. But how soon? asked John, tor the affair is terribly risky.’’ Not the slightest, as you have proved to- day for yourself—but, of course, the tength of time is what you choose to make im. choose to make it?“ es, for it is as easy for me to turn out notes for a larger amount, as to make those you have already tested. Only let me havea one, two, three or even four hundred-pound note to study fortwenty-four hours, and the thing is done. But the risk would be greater, “said John, whose eyes glittered with desire and greed of gain at his speech. Very little; indeed notany,if a man as well known and highly respected as you, were to offer them. Why, Nelson, with a few hundreds in hand, you could leave your pres- enthumdrum quarters and start on a dig scale in Londonor Paris. Why,in a couple of years you would be worth your thous- ‘ands.’ This was not the first time by many that Mr. Blake had alluded to the want of oppor- tunity a man of talent and energy had at the quiet, steady-going ‘‘Mitre,’’ and Jonn had not only listened, but had ¢ome tothink the same thing, so dazzled at the prospect held out before him, ere the dinher was eaten and the champagne, that Mr. Blake insisted upon providing, had bead drunk, John agreed to enter into partnership with his clever and unscrupulous companion. Though Nelson had a good and improving business he hadas yet but little put aside, all his profits of the last year or two having been spent on the improvements of the house, which had become necessary by lapse of time; so to obtain the notes he had to borrow them, giving as security the lease and good will of his business. That very morning only he had received the notes, four in number, but tothe value of £650. These he had at once handed over to Mr. Blake, who, on re- ceiving them, — sald: Lou shail Bowe 1 Nelson, on Friday mo But now, my friend, take 2 — are agitated, ex- cited, your hand trembles so that your good wife will see and moter and ask questions which you must not answer yet— do take a little holiday, try once mare at B——, at an- other Dank, if this note is good, putting in John's hand another of the‘*spurious notes“ as he spoke and adding Ar a hearty laugh, Good, of course’ they’ll itis, for you At fools some | of these good fellow John had taken both the note and the ad- vice, and gone to B——, only to find, on his return, that he had been the dupe of a scoun- drel—for the £5 notes had „ Bess, and more, has me ot. and all bor - was the smallest evil 2 the knowledge A been not merely vain and foolish crime, 90 Intention if emis esd ter ue had beliey he notes he took to the bank and ty forgdéries—was a 1 to the loyal and never uttered one she » * | KING LANGALULA, | THE ROMANCE OF AN AFRICAN MON- ARCH, AND HIS COMVERSION. Written for the Sunday Post- DISPATCH. Langalula was a great chief, The people he ruled were numerous and warlike; his assegais were 10,000; his tride had many cattle. So the missionary at hig Kraal was glad indeed when he felt he had touched Langalula’s heart, forit meant the conver- sion of a whole heathen nation, When the King goes over the people soon follow him. Langalula said, I am convinced; baptize me. But the ways of white mod are intompre- hensible! Though the missionary nad been preaching that very thing for months, yet when Langalula gave in he answered, ‘‘Oon- viction alone is not enough. You must wait awhile till I feel that your ute shows fortn works which are meet for répéntance.’’ Langalula grumbled. He was little accus- tomed to such contradiction... Bat he knew it was hard arguing with these priestly white men, who will baptise a starving slave every bit as soon as @ great chief; 60 he held his peace, and, though he chafed at it, waited the missionary’s pleasure. By-and-by, one day, the missionary came to him. Langalula, he said, condescend- ingly, I have watched you closely for many were now, and I think I can baptize you. „Then all my sins will be forgiven?’’ asked Langalula. **All your sins will be forgiven,’ the mis- sionary answered. „But I must put away my wives?’’ Lan- galula asked once more. , All save one, answered the missionary. It was a point of doctrine. ‘*Then think, Langalula said. I will walt for a week so as to make up my mind which one of them is déarest to me. But he said this deceitfully, knowing that all his sins were going to de forgiven, and determining in the intervai to marry an- other wife, whom he would ashis own when he put away For there was a coming on, black, but comély, whom Langa- lula had seen, and whom be wishéd to pur- chase. And since the last love ts always (for the moment) the greatest, the Ghief cared very uttle whether he must put away ali his other Wives or not, if only be could keep Malali. She bad ariven out the rest of them. He had watched the girl growifig up at Khamsua’s for years, and had said to him self always: ‘“Whenever Malall is of mar- riageable age, see if I do not buy her and marry her. In pursuance of this: plan, as sou as the missionary was gone, Langalula rose up and took the fighting men ot his trine with him that there might be no dispute, anfl Marched into the country Of Malali’s father, whose name, as I said, was msua, en Ram - sta heard Langalula =e his way to his land with 5,000 assega chester rifles, he went ut to meet him witha great retinue. Khamsua cringed. Latealuie said to nim, am come to ask for Malall. The moment Khamsua@ heard that he wa unspeakably terrified and flung himse down on his face and clasped Langalula’s knees. For Khamsua was only a small chief in the country compared with Langa- lula. Oh my king. Khameua sald, on lion of the people, I did not know so great a monarch as you had set his eyes on Malali, and before you asked Montelo’s people came and offered oxen on Montelo’s behalf for Malali. And I sold her to them, because I was afraid of Montelo, and could not have belfeved so greatachiefas you had ever looked upon her. Langalula smiled at that. oh, as for Montelo,’’. he said, I can eas take her from him, and then I can get the missionary to marry us. Khamsua, however, answered like a fool, It cannot be. Montélo isa Christian now; he was baptized a week ago; and Malali was married to him in Christian fashion. Even if you were te kill Montelo and take her to your kraal, 1 don't believe the missionary would marry you.“ Langaluia turned to his men. Kili him,“ he said, simply. Andthey killed him with an Wassegal. As soon as that was fished Langalula marched on into Montes country... When hearrived there Montelo crept Out to meet him and tried to parley with him. But Lan- galula woula not parley with the man who had deprived him of Malali, ‘* Will fight for it, he said angrily. And they fought for it then and there. And the upshot of it all was that Langalula’s men conquered iu the battle and drove Montélo’s.men (who had no Win- chesters) back to their King’s kraal,and then i killed Montelo himself and carried his head on an assegal. By the very same evening they occupied the kraal that had once been Montelo’s, and Langalula's men brought out M ito their own leader. Langalula looked rd at her. She was a 1 black girl, v smooth- skinned and lithe and cleanof limb. The great chicf stared long at her, Malau hung her head and drooped her arms re him. **Why did yougo with Montelo?’’ he asked at , **when a. would have taken = with fear. It . nad no c lion, I did .

So she left off crying and tried every art a woman knows to please and charm him. But Lan- galula was a very great King and his anger was aroused. The morning came and he cried to bimself with annoyance and vexatiog that Montelo and Khamsua—and the miss should have done him, between them, out of sO beautiful a woman. If the missionary had been a black man Langalula would have compelled him to baptize him outright and then to marry him properly to Malall, with book and ring, in the Christian fasnion. But he knew by experience it’s no use threaten- ing these white men with tortures, for, threaten how you may, they wil not odey you, and besides the Governor would send up troops from Cape Town, and tis ill fighting with the men of the Governor. 80 he arose ina 4 heat of passion.

So out she came as he bid her, trembling in all her limbs and crouching with terror ; her knees hardly bore her. Langalula turned to his men; he ked at her with re- gret. She was sleek aud deautiful. Pin her re u the body to the ground with an assegal, he said, potnting at her, And they pinned her ‘through with an Assegal. Pin her arms and her legs, said the great chief.

Works of Art in the Champs Elysses and the Champ de Mers. Bpecial Correspondence SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. Paris, April 26.—The rumor that the rival Salons were to coalesce this spring was with- out foundation. As the days come and go the breach between the two grows wider. The attempt of President Carnot and the Minister of the Fine Arts to restore har- mony between the conflicting factions has resulted in failure complete and unalloyed. M. Meissonier, the original leader of the re- volt, is dead, but his militant spirit survives in M. Puvis de Chavannes, who replaced bim ‘as President of the new society. As usual, the old Salon in the Champs Elysees will open in May, about ten days in advance of its rival ot the Champ de Mars. Some well- known names are missing this year, for neither MM. Gerome, Vibert, Detaille, Maig- nan nor Berne-Bellecour pere exposes, Time and family avements are telling on M. Gerome, and the old-time faculty of the mas- ter is deserting him. The season has been a busy one with M. Vibert, but his red-coated cardinals end anecdotic machines of mon- astic life are in such request among collectors of a certain class that he has nothing of im- portance on hand. : M., Bouguereau'’s one exhibit, The Offering to Love, is for him an unusually large com- position, Dou Uupidona pedestal occupies the center and nine female figures are ped about with offerings of fruit and were M. J Paul Laurens contributes two pic- mg A Child Before the Committee of Pub- lic Safety’’and"'A Preacher Cursinga Queen.’’ The latter is the most successful; it ts stron in selection and arrangement, two poin Where M. Laurens often fails. The incident chosen for treatmentis the memorable one in the life of the Empress Kudoxie wheg she listens with scornful defiance tothe daring im tion ofthe saint. To the left of the Empress, Who faces the spectators, isa fe- male attendant and in the rear three or four sda ves. To the right is shown the pulpit, the preacher en profile intheact of iaunch- ing his anathema. The work is unosually light and clear, and lacking in the muddy grays Which M. Laurens is prone to affect. Tue background is ofan old gold color and the marble arch over the ress is of mosiac, withared note. The e] who posed for Budoxte was Sarah Brown, who achieved a sensation a few evenings ago by appetring as * Cleopatra at the annual ball of the Quatre. | Arts inthe Moulin Rouge. Her debut sans ‘ 3 . S., and a nude figure called sleeping.“ costume caused more talk in Paristhan M. Laurens’ painting is likely to do. Indeed, the incident has already led to an intefpellation in the French Chamber as to wherethe line is to be drawn in connection: with the yearly balls of the Parisian art ‘world; which are growing more pronounced aid Geooljette with the ‘‘ever-recurrent spring.’’ F423 Fs ; M. Lefebvre’s two reports, one of Gen- Bragere, chief of President Carnot’s military. household, the other of Mme. Emile Raspail, depict well-known persomages in French society. . ; M. Leon Bonnat also sends two portraits, one of his mother, a sweet-faced, venerable Benjamin-Constant’s portrait of M. Lord Dufferin, with its raw, red color, is as fiam- boyant and tawdry as anything this over- rated brushman has shown in recent Salons, His second exhibit is a full-length of Lady Helen Vincent, wife of Sir Edgar. , M. Henner sends a portrait ofa lady, Mme. The color scheme of the latter is that to which the public has long been accustomed in M. Henner’s nudes. The very name of Henner evokes to the picture expert a vision ofthe Eternal Feminine of the red-haired variety, of quaint, porcelain flesh and a back- ground such as never was on land or sea. M. Munkacsy’s contribution is a large dec- orative painting forthe Hungarian House of Parliament, a Government commission from his native country: ; M. Henri Martin is represented by a large composition, The Troubadours,’’ and a smaller one called Destiny.“ This painter would seem to be losing the delicacy of touch that once distinguished him. His creations are less Matured, and smack of impro- 5 tions to meet the demand of arising mar · et. M. Jules Breton's two paintings, The Road to Forgiveness’’ and ‘*The Christmas Turkey, are so distinctly mtertor to his earlier and better paintings as to be unwor- thy of serious criticism. Among the American painters 6xposing in the salon of the Champs Elysees is Mr. Henry Moeler, who sends one of his characteristic Breton pictures entitled The Chimneys Corner. . Mr. Ridgway Knight’s lang“ is an effect of evening, and shows only one figure.

Mr. Henry Bibbing has two cattle pieces. Mr. Walter Gray’s ‘'Pilgrimage in Brit- Tdi > isa characteristic incident of Breton lte. 1 Mr. William Howe's Wanderers on the Heath, Holland,“ presents a group of year- lings, headed by a young White bull. The two animals in the foreground are three- quarters life-size. Itis a morning effect of strong sunlight. Mr. Howe will return to America duringthe summer to take up his permanent residence there.

AN INDIAN MURDER. A Mystery of Zariy Days in St. Louts Bx plained for the First Time. Written forthe SUNDAY POST-DISsPaAToH. An Indian chief came into St. Louts ono 1 day about eighty years ago and disappeared, His people searched for htm every where, but he was never found. Had they known that he had been murdered it js possible that | every one in the then small town of St. Louis would have been massacred. Many of tie settlers knew what had become of the chief, dut they never spoke of it, and used the ut- most caution to preventit from becoming known, so that an Indian Outbreak might be prevented. Tothis day the story of the murder has never been told in print, and it is now made public for the first time. The facts were related by Dr. L. Tournet of 2651 Shenandoah street, who obtained them from hismother, Mrs. Judith Tournot, who died about three years ago at the age of 88. Mrs. Tournot was born at Peoria, III., at a time when the Indians in the vicinity were very troublesome, being supplied with arms and ammunition from the British posts. made frequent attacks on the white settle- ments and extended their meurstons to Mis. —— until — bee — — ö — a tary force, uding the st. 5 ers, under Gen.

They quietly told the lat ter to Wear handkerchiefs round their heads of hats so that when an attac made could be ident and spared from tue tomahawk and ‘scalp. ing Knife. This was the origin of the femajes wea Dandages on the head, a custom kept up by them for many years. At tength the Indians became hostile even to the committed various outrages, their houses u setting. their ketties and tying tn cows at night in front oftheir doors. After © Givers tnsults of tuts kind, they set fire to the town, and carried terror and consterna<- — ; the inhabitants were forced to lee for sa ety. Old Antoine Seccar, the father of J was thus compellea to make his escape the rest of his neighbors. Lasalu together two small pirogues he took luis daughter Judith, then a littie girl 5 years old, and her brother, Uarefeil, who was still younger, and snatching a feather bed, the only article he saved. th this out- ut he floated down the Illinois River, LS near the N a boat ing provisions and goods for dis- tribution among the Indians.

After the peace the cruel chief who inflicted the torture on thé lad was pointed out to his uncle, the old interpreter. One dar he and his friend laid a plot to avenge the torture inflicted on his nephew. Monateau caused a deep graveto be dug in the rear of his house, andthen invited the hief to a feast ed.

The Ka- glish translation was used in that produce - tion, but Duglish does not sult Vassar.
