Foran, of Cleveland, Chosen President of the League. Telegram from Mr. Parnell, Stating His Views in Moderate Language and Urging Perseverance. THE FORMAL OPENING. Mr. Bullivan Delivers an Address Earnestly Pleading for Unity. Philadelphia, April 26.—Delegates to the Irish National convention gathered slowly this morning, and showed marks of fatigue from yesterday’s long session. It was be lieved by those in the confidence of the lead ers that the organization of to-day’s conven tion was agreed upon yesterday, yet specula tions as to the personnel of the officers who would preside over the second American con vention of the Irish National League occu pied eager groups at the doors, in corridors and on the sidewalk. The arrangement of the hall was similar to that of yesterday, a new feature being a large Irish banner in the rear of the stage, with the motto: “Commem orative of the Irish National convention.” Delegates from all reputable Irish organi zations in the United States and Canada, which are in accord with the Dublin plat form, were entitled to scats on the floor, as a result of which delegates’ seats were full, as were the galleries, to-day being evidently considered the great day of the convention. Shortly before 12 o’clock, ex-Mayor T. V. Powderly, ot Scranton, Pa., a noted labor leader, stated that as soon as the committee of seven arrived, the convention would be called to order. A few minutes later, Mrs. Delia Parnell entered, escorted by Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, who introduced her amid tremendous applause as a “greater than the mother of the Gracchi.” mr. sullivan’b address. At 12 o’clock, Sullivan, at the request of the committee of seven, and in pursuance to the official call, called the body to order, and spoke as follows: Tlie duty of formally opening the proceedings of this convention line been assigned to me by the distinuuißlieii gentlemen whose names nre appended to the call. When we behold tbe per sonal magnitude of this assemblage; when we consider the geographical Hrea from which it lias been spontaneously drawn: when we con template tbe Intensity of passion which ani mates it for the sole object we have In view, and the diversity of honest opinion concerning the methods by which that object may be accom plished, it is meet that we should, on the very threshold of our debates, invoke Him, in whose bands are the destinies of nations, that our pro ceedings may be characterized by wisdom, tol eration and prudence; that they may result in that actual unity which alone will Insure prog ress In securing Justice for our motherland. We hold the anomalous position of being the only fairly and freely-chosen parliament which may assemble to consider the welfare of a wretchedly oppressed, plundered und misgoverned people, und we are restrained, at tbe same time, from stopping outside the functions of auxiliaries to the patriots who are heroically struggling at home, and in an alien, hostile legislature, in tli- vain hope of awakening the loug snspended conscience of a powerful and brutal foe. How great ure the possibili ties; how great the responsibility of this convention! We have met, neither on one hand to dictate to onr brethren in Ireland in anj'thing, nor on the other hand to apologize to their and our common enemy for anything. We have met to organize and concentrate all tbe forces of our race, that their united strength shall be made potential in our national Rtruggle. We have met to solidify ail elements of our na tional sympathy, that hereafter there shall be an authorized body to speak, not for it party, not for a man, bur for united, exiled Ireland. We have met to tell our brethren in Ireland that it is theirs to choose the road which leads to liberty, and ours to march with them anon it. The racial blood that flows in our vians shall feel the same milse heat as theirs, and Unit beat shall be as firm and as steady as the tup of the drum on the morn of battle. It la eminently proper that we should assemble around the cradle of American independence, for in its achievements the Irish race won the first endur’, r triumph against the tyranny which it shall continue to resi>t until its clutch is loosened from civilization. lu these precincts it isjust that wo should declare, lu words of tlie organic instrument or tins republic, that “All men are created free and equal,” and that the political liberty we enjoy belongs equally to our kindred in Ireland. In these pre cincts the fathers of the republic entered upon tlie discussion of grave questions with wide diversity of opinion, but with sin gleness of aim. They contemplated many methods, but all tended to a common purpose. Their debates were protracted and free, hut they were conducted with dignity and decorum. By neither their silence nor ’their speech did they afford aid or com Tort to tlie enemy. Graieful Tor their example, let us enter upon our duties with an overmastering seiiHe. of iiigii und holy responsibility. It was tile noble Ima-o of tlie young patriot, as he was about to ascend tlie scaffold, that lie had “wished to pro cure for ids country tlie guarantee that Wash ington had procured for America.” In the spirit in which Robert Emmet died we live; in his words, we are determined on delivering our na tive country from the yoke of u foreign and un relenting tyranny, and “to place her independ ence beyond the reacli of any power on earth.” That we may have upon our deliberations the approval of Almighty God and of all just men who love liberty, we must show in this, the Par liament of our race, assembled in tho citv of brotherly love, that every party in leas than the cause; that every individual is esteemed be low our country, and that every Irishman Is a brother. The speech was warmly received. Rev. Morris J. Dorney, of Chicago, was elected temporary president. On taking the chair, he thanked the newspapers for the kindness accorded to the Irish in their report of this convention. This was a parliament held by a people who ought to have another method of choosing their parliament. The Irish needed a place in the estimation of the world which had hitherto been denied them. They were here, exiled Irom their fatherland, for the highest purposes ever placed before a people. As freemen let them take advantage of them all. Let there be cherished a good, hearty, brotherly feeling toward those who differ as to methods. Old Captain Jack Barry started an American r.uvy here; let Irish men here start their ship of state. United throughout all this great land all would recognize the power of tlie Irish. HEADING OFF THIS TALKERS. Dr. O’Reilly, of Detroit, Baid that yester day’s experience was sufficient warning to warrant the presentation of tho following rules: No delegate shall speak more than twice on any subject, nor more than ouco until every INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY MOItNINO, APRIL 27, 1883. other delegate who wishes to speak on the sub jeot under consideration shall have done so. No delegate shall speak longer than five min utes unless by unanimous consent. All resolutions shall be handed, unread, to tho secretary and referred to the committee on resolutions. Only delegates shall be be allowed on the floor of the convention, except by vote. Nodeoate shall be in order ou any subject not Included in tbe call for the convention. Dr. O’Reilley moved the previous question on the adoption of tlie rules, and Boland seconded the motion. Finerty. of Chicago, said if the object of this motion was to cut off debate he was op posed to it. Several angry protests arose at once. A Chicago man said the delegates would not stand being gagged. The previous question could not be moved on a resolution. Powers, of Chicago, rose to a point of order, and said: “That man (pointing to Dr. O’Reilly) has no right to be here. We should adopt the rules of every parliamentary con vention. We will no be gagged.” He moved to lay the motion on the table. His motion was lost on a rising vote. The previous question was then put and declared to be carried. The rules were then declared adopted. Mr. Mooney moved that all delegates regu larly admitted to the Land League conven tion yesterday be admitted to this floor. Carried. Feeley. of New York, nominated Wm. J. Roach, of Troy, for secretary. Mr. Brown, of St. Louis; J. J. Hynes, of Buffalo, and Wm. Gleason, of Cleveland, were also nomi nated. Other suggestions being made, an angry colloquy ensued. The chair said it was not necessary for everybody to be secre tary. four gentlemen named were then declared elected. Blake, of New York, moved that a com mittee on credentials of one from each State and Territory be chosen. Carried. A recess of some minutes was taken to allow these committeemen to be chosen. At 1:30 the convention was again called to order. Father Dorney’s paying fifty cents for an unclaimed telegram brought forth the re mark that it might be for “No. 1,” and was the cause of much mirth. The roll-call for committeemen on credentials was answered to as follows: Colorado, P. W. Breen; Arkansas. Thomas Finch; Connecticut, John I. Power; Delaware, Wm. Converse: Florida, T. H. O’Donovan: krfiu olß, Henry F. Sheridan; lowa, T. F. Martin: Ken tucky, N. Vinton; Louisiana, P. W. Mulqneeny: Maryland, P. J. Campbell; Michigan, Win. J. Dawson; Massachusetts, Thomas Flatley; Min nesota, P. F. O’llaliaran; Missouri, Jeremiah Sheehan; Maine, John A. Gallagher; New Hamp shire, Joseph Burn; New Jersey, Charles Dono hue; New York, Judge John Rooney; Nebraska, M. J. McMahan; Ohio, John Hogerty; Pennsyl vania, t ornellus Hawkins; Rhode Island, J. F. Mulaiy: South Carolina, M. F. Kennedy; Tennes see, Rev. Thomas Moffett; Virmont, Dr. Mullen; Virginia, Patrick McGovern: Wisconsin, Thomas F. Bomers; District of Columbia, James Piaut; Canada, Edward Reynolds. Father Cronin moved that Revs. M. Slat tery and John Gallagher, of Australia, be accorded the privilege of the floor. Carried. Father Slattery said he was on the way to Ireland, and was tlie first prießt in Austra lia to cotue out on tiie I,and League plat form. There was great sympathy for Ireland all through Australia, its people being Irish to the heart's core. Father Gallagher then made a few remarks on the motion to adjourn for dinner. Th, New Jersey delegation seeming afraid that they could not get back into the hall, as tlvey had given up their credentials. Father Doftfty offered to he a step-father to that delegation, and declared the convention adjourned till 4:30 o'clock, the committee on credentials to meet at once in the hall. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. Permanent Organization Effected—Moderate Viewa of Mr. Parnell. PfIit.ADEt.PHiA, April 2G.—At the afternoon session the galleries were crowded; 1,155 dele gates on the floor, while forty delegates, ladies, were given seats upon the stage. Mrs. Parnell was loudly cheered upon enter ing. On motion of M. V. Gannon, of lowa, a resolution of respect and sympathy for the mother of Fanny Parnell was adopted by a rising vote. It was stated that the Central League of Boston, would decorate Fanny Parnell’s grave. The customary committees on permanent organization, etc., were appointed, and the following telegram read: Louisville, Ky., April 26. Sons of Erin—lreland's hopes are oentered in you. Sink all differences for lier sake. Unfurl astalnle.as hanner with "Irisil-Aluerlcan Na tional League” inscribed thereon, and Eriu’s deliverance will soon be won. William McCreadt. After a short recess, a permanent organi zation was effected, with the following offi cers: Chairman, M. A. Foran, of Ohio; secretary, John .1. Hynes; assistant secretaries, John j. Enright, of Michigan; Edward Fitzwilliams, of Massachusetts; Cornelius Horgan, of Penn sylvania; J. L>. O'Connell, of Washington. A number of vice-presidents were also chosen. Mr. Foran, before taking the chair, said: said: “Speeches enough have been made, and now is the time for work.” He coun seled union—tlie unification of every Irish society perhaps in the whole world. MODERATE VIEWS OP PARNELL. The following telegram was then read by Fathertlorney: London, April 26. James Mooney. Esq.. President of the Irish-Alneri can Convention, Philadelphia: Mv presence at tlie opening of the most repre sentative convention of Irish-American opluiou ever assembled being impossible, owing to the necessity of ray remaining here to oppose tlie criminal code bill, which re-enacts permanently the worst provisions of the coercion act, and if passed will leave constitutional movement at tho mercy of the government, I would ak you to lay ray views before the convention. 1 would respectfully advise that your platform should be so framed as to enable us to continue to accept help from America, and at the mine time avoid aft'ordimr a pretext to the British government for entirely suppressing tbe na tional movement in Ireland. In this way omy can tbe unity of the movement be preserved, both iu Ireland aud America. I have perfect confidence that by prudenoe, moderation und firmness the cause of Ireland willcontiuue to ad vance, and though persecution rests heavily upon us at present, before many years have passed we shall have achieved those great ob jects for which, through many centuries, onr race has struggled. Charles Stewart Parnell. Committees were then announced, and the convention adjourned till Friday. PROTRACTED LABORS OF a CONVENTION. At 11 o’clock the committees ou platform and organization are still in session. The members said their deliberations would not be concluded before 2 o’clock to-morrow morning—probably much later. The chief result accomplished by the two conventions so far is the appointment without serious dis cord of committees to evolve the status and conditions on which all the Irish societies of this continent may unite. The Land League convention of yesterday has not yet defi nitely adjourned. The results to-night of committee work will determine whether the j committee of seven appointed by the Land League convention shall pronounce that body adjourned sine die or reconvene it. The committee on organization of the Na tional Irish League elected Michael Boland,of Kentucky, chairman. After a protracted j debate a sub-committee was appointed to I draft a constitution or plan to j submitted to the full committee to-morrow j morning. The sub-committee consists of Colonel Michael Boland, of Kentucky; James Reynolds, of Connecticut; John O’Mahoney, of Tennessee; J, C. Donnelly, of Michigan, and 0. J. Smith, of Nebraska. The fact that Colonel Boland, a member of the Land League committee of seven, is chairman of this committee and sub com mittee is regarded as indicating the adoption of a Land League policy in the national reorganization. Colonel Boland was of counsel for John Devoy, in a suit brought against him for libei by August Belmont. Devoy is said to antagonize the dynamite business, or Rossa policy. The most important (ques tion before the committee to night was the second resolution of the printed pro gramme, to the effect that free trade for Ireland is, above all things, demanded and desired. LABOR TROUBLES. Another Effort to Arrange a Scale to Be Made. Pittsburg. April 20.—The conference com mittee of the Amalgamated Association and iron manufacturers will meet again on Wednesday, May 3, and make another at tempt to arrange a scale of wages for the ensuing year froxu June 1. Efforts to Get tlie Working Miners Out. Pittsburg, Pa*, April 28.—A delegation of thirty coal miners left here to-day for the purpose of visiting all pits where men are working at the reduction and endeavor to get them to come out and join the strike, which will begin next Tuesday. The miners are confident of accomplishing this mission, but trie operators assert, with equal assur ance, that they won’t be successful. Advance of Wages Demanded in Illinois. Carlin ville, 111., April 26. The coal miners at Stanton, Mount Olive, Gillespie and Bunker Hill are on a strike. They de mand an advance of half a cent per bushel. The strikers number from 1,200 to 1,500 men. Pittsburg Plasterers to Strike. Pittsburg, Pa., April 26.— The plasterers met to-night and decided to strike on May 1 for $3.25 per day. They are now getting $3. A Cincinnati Clothing notise Assigns, Cincinnati, April 26.—Newburgh, Fenkel Cos., one of the largest wholesale clothing houses in this city, assigned to M. J. Mack and Edgar M. Johnson. No statement of assets and liabilities. The firm’s capital is estimated to be over $300,000. The firm is composed of Nathaniel New burgh, A. B. Frenkel and Philip Moss. There has been no inventory or appraisement filed, bttoLit stated rhat the asset* equal or ex ceed the liabilities, which amount to about $&>(&0OO. The failure is considered an hon est iOtte, qnd is attributed to stringency in money and to an unprofitable business. There is much sympathy expressed for the firm. A Boston dispatch savs: “It is currently reported that Newburgh, Frenkel Moss, of Cincinnati, who have failed, owe $259,000 in New York, $150,000 being for merchandise and SIOO,OOO on paper largely held by banks. The merchandise indebtedness is principally to commission merchants.” Rev. Heber Newton Charged with Heresy. New York, April 20.—The long talk of presentment of charges against the Rev. It. Heber Newton was made yesterday. A series of sermons upon the right and wrong uses of the Bible, delivered by the pastor of the Anthon Memorial Church last winter, furnished the provocation for the arraign ment. For several weeks past a commission of Episcopal clergymen and laymen have been preparing the presentment. It now rests with Bishop Potter to do one of two things, either to ignore the presentment, in which case there is an immediate end to the matter or to designate twelve clergymen from which Dr. Newton may select five to act as his judges. If there should be a trial It will probably not be readied before July 1. The trial would be conducted according to the rules of the State Courts of Equity. Western Cattle Sale. Kansas City, Mo., April 26.— A series of important sales of cattle commenced yester day at the stockyards. Yesterday, forty-nine head of polled Angus and Galloway cattle, belonging to William H. <fc A. Leonard, of Saline county, brought a total of $23,415 —an average of $484. To-day, eighty-four Aber deen Angus and Herefords, belonging to William H. Cochrane, of Compton, Canada, sold for s4o,ooo—an average of ssll. The highest price paid for a single animal was $2,050, paid for the imported cow, “Black bird,” of Cooskie, by S. A Fletcher of In dianapolis. Dinner to Ex-President Hayes. New York, April 26.—Ex-President Hayes was given a dinner this evening by White law Reid, editor of the Tribune, at his resi dence. It was entirely informal and private. Among those present were the following; Win. M. Evarts. Sir Edward Archibald, Geo. Wm. Curtis, John Jacob Astor, John Joy, Maturin Livingston, Collector Robertson, Chief-justice Noah Davis, Chauncev M. De pew, Wm, Walter Phelps, Joseph W. Harper, jr.. I). O. Mills, S. D.

Testimony Concerning the Dynamite School in New York. Bernard Gallagher Desired to Torn In former—Whitehead's Heavy Purchases of Chemicals to Make Dynamite. Kelly to Be Placed on Trial for the Third Time Next Monday. A Letter from tho Pope Vigorously De nouncing Law-Defying Organizations t —Miscellaneous Cable News.

THE DYNAMITERS. Continued Examination—Damaging Evi dence Against Whitehead. London, April 26. —The seven prisoners— Dr. Gallagher, Bernard Gallagher, White head, Dalton, Ansburgn,] Wilson and Curtin —who are charged with treason feiony in connection with the unlawful use of explo sives, were again arraigned for examination this morning. The first witness called by the prosecution was a clerk employed at the American Exchange. He testified that Dr. Gallagher called at tho Exchange and in quired for letters addressed to Mr. Galer, and had shown the utmost anxiety to gain pos session of them. Witness thought Ansburgh, who was with him, was passing under the name of “Galer” for the purpose of procur ing the letters. A druggist of Birmingham testified that Whitehead had bought at his store 160 pounds of nitric acids, 300 pounds of sul phuric acid and 50 pounds of glycerine. On being cross-examined by the counsel for the defense, witness said Whitehead was appar ently only stocking his shop with acids used by various manufacturers. Inspector Boyd, of the Glasgow police, swore that Bernard Gallagher, when arrested in Glasgow, said he was in America at the time the explosion in that city with which he was charged occurred. He said he came to England on Feb. 9, under the name of Campbell. Boyd said Bernard notified the authorities in the early part of the month that lie wished to give information. The inspector further testified as to tlie statements Bernard Gallagher had made tonching the doings of the conspirators. He offered to go to London and induce his brother to tell everything, and identify all the.conspirators. He connected O’Donovan Rossa with their plans. Whitehead, he said, was about the first man to come to England. He said he knew all the conspirators, about thirty in number; he had seen them in Brooklyn. Another druggist swore that Whitehead bought from him 200 pounds of glycerine. He said Whitehead also bought from another firm 1,543 pounds of nitric acid and 3,000 pounds of sulphuric acid, paying for them in cash. Whitehead said he wished acid of the usual strength. Hearing then adjourned until Thursday next. Inspector Boyd said Gallagher told him he was accompanied in Catalonia by a person named Coleman. Bernard returned to New York by the Germanic, but was again sent to England almost directly by his brother, who instructed him to tell Curtin to go to Lon don. Bernard was accompanied on both voyages by a man whose name was some thing like Oxford, this person beloging to the dynamite school, and went to London. Gallagher heard his brother say the good work was not done by this school, but by Irish conspirators. Bernard stated that another brother, named Dan iel, and Coleman returned to New York in the Germanic, because they did not believe in doing what Curtin wished to have done. Byrne stated that Bernard, when in custody a t Glasgow, offered to go to London in the service of tlie police and induce his brother to tell everything he knew, and said lie (Bernard) would identify all the conspirators. He said there were a number of rich men in the dynamite school in New York, and that O’Donovan Rossa was connected with one school. The latter state ment, the inspector said, was made casually. Bernard stated that Whitehead was about the first conspirator to come to England. He knew all the conspirators, having seen them in Brooklyn; there were about thirty of them. Bernard became excited at the ex posure of his attempt to turn informer, and several times corrected tho details of the in spector’s testimony. TIIE DUBLIN TRIALS. Kelly to Be Given a Third Trial—The Hear ing In the Case of Fagan. Dublin, April 26. —Ten of the jurors on the second trial of Kelly were in favor of re turning a verdict against the prisoner of guilty as charged in the indictment. The prosecution have closed their case, and the case for the defense has been opened. They will try to prove an alibi. The trial of Michael Fagan, charged with the murder of Burke, was resumed to-day. Joseph Smith, informer, swore that Edward McCaffery was in Phoenix Park on the even ing of May G. James Carey, however, deuied that he saw McCaffery there that evening. The counsel for the defense regard the con flict between the two statements as import ant. Kelly will be again placed on trial on Monday next. If the jury do not agree on a verdict then, he will be tried again. James Verlan, James Ryan and Patrick Murphy have been arrested in the Crushcn district, County Clare, in connection with an alleged conspiracy to murder by Invincibles in that district, for which a number of men were taken into custody some days ago. It is understood that Archbishop Croke has been summoned to Rome to consult with the Pope in regard to the state of Ireland. Harrington’s and O’Domiell's Motions. London, April 26.—1n tho Commons, this evening, Harrington, member for West meatli, gave notice that lie would offer a motion to the effect that the execution in Ireland of Myles Joyce, one of the alleged assassins of the Joyce family, was a judicial murder. O’Donnell, member for Dungarvan, gave notice that he would move that the sys tem pursued in reference to jurors in the trials at Dublin was calculated to bring the jury system into disrespect Two Arrested Men Discharged. Cork, April 20. —Carmody and Morgan, two of the men arrested here on a charge of being connected with the dynamite conspir- price five cents. acy, have been discharged from custody. All the other men have been sent to Liverpool to be tried on that charge. THE POPE ON IRISH AFFAIRS. A Vigorous Denunciation of Law-Detyln£ Organizations. London Special. The latest Papal utterance concerns Irish affairs, and gives great satisfaction to both the English government and press. Tho Pope declares that it is the pressing duty of the Catholic clergy in Ireland to exert them selves toward suppressing disloyalty, both from a sense of good policy and for the sake of the interests of the Church of God. Dwell ing upon the latter motive the declaration states that in no country in the world has the church in the true sense been so success ful, as in Ireland, where the faith is pure, the virtue great, and Catholic education ex tremely fruitful of results over the entire globe. The Pope warns the Irish Catholics that as the heal thy condition of the Church in Ireland is largely due to the extreme lib erty of conscience allowed the Irish hi the government of which they are subjecifLand which is Protestant—a liberty whiclV is declared to be much greater and more thorough than is accorded to Catholics by any other non-Catholic government—any widespread symptoms of disloyalty to the government which has been so generous must result in such resentments by that gov ernment as will inevitably curtail tiie free dom now* enjoyed and greatlv thwart the prosperity of the church in Ireland. Organ izations formed for the purpose of either re sisting the luw or undermining the lawful authorities are, therefore, denounced as ene mies to the good of the church. Individual or organized attacks upon the authorities or lawful government are prohibited as acto inimical to the true interests of the church and contrary to that profound gratitude which is the real spirit entertained by the church for the English government. Tlie pronunciamento concludes with the expres sion that all true friends of Ireland and the church everywhere will do their utmost to conform their political conduct to their re ligious interests, as outlined above. The Pope feels it tb be his solemn duty to enforce these precepts into practice as far ns it lies in his power, and to that end he gives notice that the episcopate will be forfeited h all priests who make themselves notoriously un friendly to the British government by active political agitation. POLICE INTIMIDATION. A Member of Parliament Charges that tl Authorities Misuse Their Powers. Dublin, April 26.— Harrington, member of Parliament, in a speech at a meeting of the National League, charged the police with in timidating the people for the purpose of pre venting them from joining the league and sub scribing to the testimonial to Parnell. Many men have been lying in prison for weeks, and some for a year, without a public trial. They were tried by hole and corner Inquiries, and friends were unable to otter any evidence to extricate them. One informer was sufficient for the government, no matter how many persons could prove the innocence of the person accused. The prisoner was never brought face to face with the informer; he was even daily tempted with offers of free dom, money, or bribes of whisky to induce him to swear away tiie liberties of his fellow men. (Cries of “Shame, shame,”) Harring ton said he could prove that such overtures had been made to several men in Galway jail by detectives, who had tried to induce them to swear away the liberties of men not in custody. It was necessary to resist the efforts made to crush Irish liberty and public opinion. THE CORONATION. Something of tlie Splendid Preparations at Moscow. Moscow, April 26.—Tho preparations for tlie Kremlin display during the coronation ceremonies are in many respects more re markable than have ever before been made for similar ceremonies. The introduction of the electric light is, of course, new, aud is to be used freely in novel and effective ways. It will be used in all the scores of buildings in the palace grounds, upon the turrets, towers and domes, and throughout the grounds themselves, so that the whole city will be illuminated from tlie Kremlin hill. Many of the larger lights will be elevated far above the sixty-feet high walls, and tlie battlements will be lined by many thousand lamps. Some idea of tho extent of the display can be gained from tlie fact that the single tower of Iran Velikay will be covered by no fewer than 3,500 lamps, perfectly displaying the outlines of the tower, which is regarded as tho monument of the Czar Boris Godunaff, and which in its outlines is the most graceful building in Russia. The preliminary work has already been done, sailors having been brought here especially to do the rigging for tlie fixtures about the great cupola. On the topmost de vice there will be a great laurel wreath of light, surmounted by the figures “1883” in light, and below them the two shields con taining tlie arms of the empire.

London, April 20.—Lord Carlingford, Lord President of tlie Council and Minister of Ag riculture, yesterday received a deputation headed by tho Duke of Richmond, which came to confer on the subject of the foot ami mouth disease among cattle. Lord Carling ford said they practically asked for the gen eral prohibition of the landing of live stock in England. The department was only pre pared to use its powers where the need ex isted. The assertion was made in America that the disease was practically non-existent there.

CURIOSITIES OF CREDIT. Merchant*’ Promises to Pay, and How They Are Regulated in Trade. Now York Times. Promises to pay abound. The richest house issues its paper as well as the smallest. Brokerage establishments have been founded, some of them with $1,000,000 at their coin maud. to handle the paper of the merchants, and there are banks which make a feature of discounting the paper. One bank is known to have had as much as $14,000,000 of the pa per on hand at or.e time, and there are three or four which carry in the neighborhood of $10,000,000 worth the year round. The rate of discount by the banks is all the way from 3 to 25 per cent., according to the standing of the signer, and the broker receives one fourth of 1 per cent, for negotiating the pa per. A merchant may draw his note for $50,000. He wants SIO,OOO at once and the remainder as soon as it i9 possible to obtain it. The broker ad vances the SIO,OOO out of his own capital, and he goes to the bank to negotiate the note. If it is after banking hours when the merchant draws his note, the SIO,OOO will enable him to promptly meet an obligation, and the need is not so urgent but that the balance can go over until the next day. The broker, of course, deducts his SIO,OOO as soon as iie gets the $50,000. less the discount, and the bank carries the full amount when the paper goes into its keeping. By the recognized rules of trade the nor mal credit is limited to 50 per cent, more than the capital of the house. To take it beyond that limit reduces the rating of the house, and makes the paper what in com mon parlance would be called “risky.” In granting credit the pton is to allow 10 per cent for an iudividual account. In other words, if the capital of a house is SIOO,OOO the seller will grant credit to the extent of SIO,OOO. Thus it would take ten transactions to use up the entire capital, and in this way the individual risk would be reduced to what would be called a minimum. This is not always the case, for very often in special lines of goods the limit is exceeded, but it is the fundamental rule. A jobbing house will do a business of $8,000,000 a year on a capital of $1,000,000, an investi gator of credits explained. It is very seldom that the volume of business a year amounts to over eight times the capital invested. The house will sell the goods on sixty days’ time. It will pay for the goods in thirty days, but to do this it must have its bills dated "ahead. The house will pay in January and February for the spring trade, but the* bills will date from April and May 1. The credit of a wholesale house depends, naturally, very much upon the rate at which its paper sells. Then, again, the money nurket has a certain influence which has to be considered. Since the commercial agencies have attained such magnitude the credits are based largely on their information. Owing to the extent of the country the individual merchant can not keep track of the responsibility of the traders in the different States who may de sire to purchase of him. To maintain their own reputation the agencies must strive for accuracy and trustworthiness, and, there fore, their reports have come into wide spread use. The establishment of commer cial ratings brings money that has been re tired into circulation. To such com parative perfection has the system been reduced that the purchase of mercantile paper has been made a safe and advantageous investment. A merchant retires with, perhaps, a fortune of $1,500,000. Government bonds and stocks he may think do not pay a sufficient amount for the use of his money, and he finds a ready market for it at 6 and 8 per cent, in mercantile paper. The method of doing business has greatly changed. The jobbers take very little of their customers’ paper to the banks for dis count. They hold it, and deal in simrle-name or their own paper exclusively. They are known, while tueir customers may not be, and the discount on the latter’s paper would be too great. The practice of dating ahead has In some /ueasure taken the place of the old system of selling goods six months' credit, with the privilege of discounting at thirty days, at the end of which settlement by note was re quired. The merchant then would take the note to his banker and have it discounted. Tinder the present plan, especially in the clothing line, goods are sold on four months’ time, and sixty days’ extra time without note, so that credit to-day is as long in some trades as before the panic. There seems, how ever, to be an inclination to reduce the time on which goods are sold. The rating of anew house is quickly estab lished. If it starts out with a capital of SIOO,- 000 and buys $300,000 worth of goods, it is considered to have done an injudicious thing, to say the least. It ought not to buy over $150,000 worth of goods. If its transac tions are at the rate of $700,000 or SBOO,OOO a year, it will soon have $1.50,000 trusted out. To start on borrowed capital curtails the credit. Under ordinary circumstances the credit allowed in such cases is only two-thirds of the capital, ami the chances of the success of a house are greatly diminished.

Charles F. Kring Admitted to Rail, with a Prospect of Final Acquittal—Other; Violations of the Laws. TIIE PAUPER’S HOME. More Testimony from Tewksbury Concern ing their Comforts. Boston, April 2G. —Dr. G. A. Tucker, of Australia, an expert who has examined nearly all the insane asylums of the country, I visited the insane ward at Tewksbury two weeks ago. He saw every patient, aud found everything remarkably clean. He found only seven persons to care for 2GO patients, but was told that the appropriation would allow no mor?. The inmates were neat and clean. He thought it improper that female patients should have male attendants, which was one of the greatest evils at Tewksbury. Witness would have the insane at Tewksbury amused or employed constantly. The mode of restraint there wa9 the same as that em ployed at other institutions. Cornelius O’Brien testified that he went to Tewksbury for a severe cold. Patients rfh able to feed themselves had no one to assist them. He had seen Walter Winning, a nurse, kick an old man named Moran down the ward into his bed. Had also seen the latter tied upon his bed for hours and nearly choked to death by straps. Had known “French Joe,” a pauper, in charge of the clothes room, sell shoes for 25 cents, and when witness threatened to write to the Gov ernor, Captain Marsh said he would kick him out of the office. Some time was spent in try ing to show that this witness was quarelsome and a chronic drunkard. Dr. Edward G, West, of Roxburv, testified: Am a graduate of Harvard University and Medical School and a member of the Massa chusetts Medical Society; came here in obe dience to subnena and against my will; while u student went to Tewksbury to see hospital practice the Ist of November, 1879, to Janu ary following; was assigned as second assist ant physician; went there as a student with out pay. Dr. West described the delivery of a w.man named Maria Farrell, and lie con sidered Dr. Lathrop’s work malpractice. It was a difficult case, and craniotomy was at tempted; that is, to open the skull, take out the brain and then collapse the skull, that the head might be takeu out; the tools he used for this were a screw-driver and a rat tail file. Further revolting details were given, and Dr. West commented: My opinion now is that this was malpractice, but I was a stu dent and could not interfere; I told the Cap tain, Tom and Charles, that I thought it was a case of malpractice, and I think I had a conversation with Lathrop; he told me that he had other instruments to use than the screw-driver and file; 1 left there because Dr. Pease, a female physician, was appointed to take niv place; she was under salary, and I was without.

Kring, the famous murderer of Mrs. Dora Broemser, was admitted to bail to-day in $3,000. Kring was lodged in jail in 1875, and has only been out three times since, the first being in 1881, which was the first time he saw the earth or sky in six years. This was to visit a dying sister. The other occasion was to be photo graphed and to attend his sister’s funeral. Kring was twice tried and convicted of mur der in the first degree and seflNiuced to hang, in 187 G and 1881. The latter time lie was within twelve hours of execution, when a stay was granted by the Supreme Court. In addition, there were two mistrials, and once he pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to twenty five years in the penitentiary. He withdrew his plea. however, when sentence was passed. He said arrangements had been made with the circuit attorney that he should only receive ten years. He was then placed on trial and again convicted of murder in the first degree. His counsel carried the case to the Supreme Court of the United States, which recently reversed the decision of the Missouri courts on a peculiar legal point. When Kring entered iail, eight years ago, his weight wa9 190 pounds, and he was a strong, robust, muscular man. To-day he is emaciated, feeble—a mere skeleton, and is suffering from consumption, and it is thought lie cannot live loug. He will be arraigned for murder in the second-degree, but his acquittal is exacted, ns evidence cannot again be procured. Dora Broemser, whom he shot on Jan. 4, 1875. was the wife of liis business partner, with whom lie was infatuated, and who refused to leave her hus band and go with him. The Kring case was one of the most remarkable on record, and has attracted general and professional atten tion in all parts of the country.

Hairy people, though sufficiently rare, are occasionally met with in that part of the world which lias given Krao to Mr. Farini. There are now living at Mandalay three such persons—mother son and daughter, who have the whole of their bodies covered with long, silky hair, of a deep brown color, but paling over certain parts of the face. When Mr. Crawford visited tne court oi Ava, in 1876. he was shown a mar. named Shway- Moung, the progenitor of these people, who was also similarly distinguished. He gives a sketch ot the man, whom he designates hir stitus homo. Tiiis individual, whose forbears w*ere said to have come from an eastern state tributary to Burmah, had then an infant daughter, Maphoon, who inherited the hirsute peculiarity of her sire. On the occasion of Captain Yule’s visit to the Burmese, court, in 1855, Maphoon, now a matron, waited on the English party with her husbund (lion-hirsute) and her two sons. Only one of the boys took after his mother, but shoptly afterward the lady was blessed with a daughter who developed the maternal characteristics in a marked degree. The family are perfectly intelligent, the son following tne occupation of a carpenter. When European visitors were more frequent at Mandalay than now they used to make a good deal of money by exhibiting them selves. At one time they refused to appear for any douceur under thirty or forty rupees. The features of the son ap proach somewhat to the European type, while those of his mother and sister are distinctly Burmese. It makes one smile to read of Mr. Brock, wiio conveyed Krao to England, offering a reward for the “capture” of a “specimen” of these hairy people, as if they ran wild in their native woods. Euro pean speculators have frequently tried to get possession of the “Hairv Family,” at Mandalay, but the court will not hear of their expatriation. An Italian is said to have offered to marry Maphoon—of course before she got a Burmese husbund—provided he might be allowed to take her out of the country. Those of our readers who are acquainted with Miss Bird’s travels in Japan will recollect her description of the Ainos, who, she states, are completely covered with hair and have features almost European in type. They live, to the number of about 12,000, in a mountainous district, not far from the sea. and are supposed to be the original inhabitants of the island. Miss Bird appears to have contracted a liking for these Ainos, and she regards them as superior, ph>sically and even morally, to the Japa nese, who have supplanted them. She tells how she was ferried across a river by an Aino •‘completely covered by hair, which on his shoulder was wavy like that of a re triever and rendered clothing quite needless, either for covering or warmth.” Mr. Dar win is said to have characterized this pecu liarity as a reversion to the primitive type, and there can be no doubt whatever that early man did possess a complete cover ing of hair. The few rude sketches of our palaeolithic ancestors which we possess, carved in fragments of mammoth ivory or deer’s horns represent men as having hairy bodies and, oddly enough, with the beard and poll of the Aino. Hairy people are not unknown in Europe. A few years back a sensational paragraph went the round of the European press announcing the discovery in Hungary of a man with a complete natural covering of hair. In 1684 Evelyn records that he saw a hairy woman, whom he describes as having, besides beard and mustache, long locks grow ing in the middle of her nose. A showman of the name of Vanbeck secured the lady against all comers by marrying her, being more fortunate in his matrimonial specula tion tnan Maphoon’s eager Italian lover. Room for More Sheep. Chicago Tribune. In view of the fact that the United States imported wool largely, even when many mills were closed and very few*, if any, were run ning to their full capacity, and at a time \vhen the financial straits of the people com pelled them to buy most sparingly, it seems safe to say that millions of sheep may be added to those now in this country, without lowering the returns from sheep husbandry below a paying point. The United States may even find it possible to supply the mar kets of the Oid World with mutton, as she does now with catile and hogs, and their products. Sheep for slaughter have been taken to Germany and to England. The demand for this purpose is great enough to absorb all the really good sheep the country lias to spare, year by year, at good figures. Three or four years ago a strong impetus was given to the export trade in sheep by the loss in Great Britain of mil lions of sheep through the ravages of fluke, or liver rot. Yet, with all these circumstances favoring a rigorous prosecution of sheep husbandry, there are now, even in the older and more densely populated parts of the country, wide areas in which few if any flocks are to be found. In the new States the increase which might easiiv be made in the number of sheep witnout in the least overtaxing the food sup ply is practically without limit. There is wasting by the roadsides and in fence-rows in the United States more forage than would be needed to keep in thrifty condition all the sheep in America. In the more closely-settled parts of the country, the sheep is more conveniently kept than any other animal, not excepting the hog. In nearness to the consumer, East ern farmers find some measure of protection from the competition of those who keep their flocks with very little expense on the tree ranges of the plains. The cost of carry ing wool over the railroads is about two cents per 1,000 miles, while the charge tor carrying sheep long distances practically pro hibits shipment of the carcasses of sheep from the plains, to market for mutton. That there are bo me difficulties in the way of successful sheep-growing, is true, but it re mains to be proved that they are greater than are to be found in every other depart ment of agriculture. Those who have expe rience declare that sheep-husbandry will be found at least as profitable as any other stock-growing, and more profitable, all things considered, than almost any system of crop producing in general use.

PIMPLES. Beauty Blemishes, Disfiguring Hu mors, Skin Tortures and Impure Blood, and the Cause. MOW THEY MAY DE CVREit, From New Remedies. Socrates called beauty a short-lived tyranny, I’liito a privilege or nature, Theocritus a delight ful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Car neades a solitary kingdom, Homer a glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aris totle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommendation m the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities lias left us even a hint of how beauty is to be perpet uated, or the ravages of age aud disease defied. Time soon blends the lily aud the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cuta neous disfigurations, and crimsons the Roman nose with unsightly flushes. Moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of the eyes, teeth aud lips, yet beautiful, bj' defacing the complexion, and litis tile MeuMtive soul with agony unspeakable. if such be the uuhappy condition of one af flicted with siigut shin blemishes, what must be the feelings oi those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores, and charging the blood with poisonous elemeutri to become a part of the sys tem until death? It is vain to attempt to por tray such suffering. Death in many cases, which we have witnessed, might be considered a bless ing. The biood and fluids seem to bo impreg nated with a fiery element, which, when dis charged through tlie pores upon the surface of tho body, inflames und burns, until, it: bis efforts for relief, the patient tears the skin with his nails, amt not until the hlood flows does sufficient relief come to cause him to desist. Thus do oom plexioiial defects merge into torturing disease, and piqued vanity give pluce to real suffering. A little wart ou the nose or cheek grows to the all-devouring lupus, a paten of tetter ou the palm of the Hands or on the limbs suddenly en velops tne body In its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg expands into a gnawing ulcer, which reaches out its fangs to the sufferer's heart, in every paroxysm of pain, a small kernel in tho neck multiplies into u dozen, which eat away the vitality, great pearl-like scales grow from little rash->ine inflammations lu such abundance as to pass credulit>; aud so on may we depict the suffering to which poor human nature is sub ject from cutaneous diseases, all or which in volve great mental distress because of personal disfigurations. Every schoolgirl or boy knows that if a pore In the skiu iu his or her face becomes clogged, a a black head appears, and surrounding it a little pimple. Ir a dozen pores become clogged, there are a dozen black heads and pimples. So It is with acue. lu salt rheum, or, hs it is technically called, eczema, thecuuse of the disease seems to be in the blood, from the fact that the perspira tory fluids which pour out through t he tunes are charged with a poisonous element that creates the must intense itching aud violent inflamma tion, und ranliily destroys the outer or scurf skiu. This dreadful form of skiu diseases at tacks all ages, and may frequently be seeu fully developed in young infants at birth. Iu such cases it is often called milk crust, scald-head, etc but there is no doubt of Its real nature ana that :t is au inherited humor. If there were nob another external disease known, salt rheum would be a sufficient infliction on mankind. It pervades uli classes, and descends impartially through generations. While some are constant ly enveloped in it, others have it confined to small patches iu the eurs, ou the scalp, ou the breast, ou the palms of the hands, ou the limbs, etc., but everywhere Its distinctive feature is a small watery blister, which discharges uu acrid fluid, causing heat, inflammation aud luteuse itching. Ring-worm, tetter, scuUl-heaa, daudruff, belong to this scaly and itching order of dis eases. Psoriusis, our modern leprosy, with its tuotiier-of-pearl scale, sltuuted ou a reddened base, which bleeds upon the removal of the male, is to be dreaded and avoided, as of old. Lupus, the all devouring ulcer, impetigo, bar ber’s itcli, erysipelas, and a score of minor disor dels uittke up the catalogue of external diseases of the skin. Thus far we have made no allusion to those afflictions which are manifestly Impuri ties of the ulood, viz.: swelling of the glands of the throat, ulcers ou the neck ami limbs, tumors, übcesses und mercurial poisons, because the whole list cau be comprehended In the one word “scrofula.” The hereditary blood poison of scrofula de velops iu the delicate tissues of tho brain mental weaknesses aud infirmities, Idiocy aud insanity. It enlarges tlie glands of tlie throat, impairs tbe sense of smell and taste, or breaks into consum ing ulcers ou the neck. It destroys the lungs, or fills them with tuberculous secretions. It eats away tbe coating of the stomach, enlarges tho liver, clogs tlie kidneys, creates coustipatiou and induces piles. The muscles it contracts aud renders powerless with rheumatism, while the secretions of the joints contaminated by It cause tbe painful gout. It loads the perspira tion with its virulent poison, selling on lire in its passage ihe little tunes or pores of the skin, causing the torturing disfiguration salt rheum, psoriasis, and other itclnug aud scaly diseases which embitter life. It gathers at morbid cen ters into tumors, abscesses and life-sapping ul cers. It slowly undermines the constitution, aud is the cause of nearly all chronic diseases. The treatment of diseases of tbe skin and scalp has been for centuries based upon a theory which has entirely overlooked tho Important part the tubes and vessels of the skin play iu the propagation and maintenance of disease by pouring out upon the surface of the body per spiratory fluids charged with the virus or disease germs of scrofulous, inherited and contagious humors. We are not unjust to the profession when we say that its efforts in the permanent cure of skiu, scalp and hlood diseases have been a failure. What with mistaken theories, mineral poisons and blind reverence for dogmas aud superstitions long since exploded, disfigur ing humors, humiliating eruptions, itching tort ures. and scrofula, tlie parent of all humors, flourish ami increase upon systems shattered by mercury, arsenic, zinc and lead. Nor have the senseless “sarsaparilla,” “dock” and dandelion blood purifiers (l) of quacks and patent-medicine venders been any better or mncli worse. We kut.w that every word we now write will awaken hope m the breast of many u lifelong sufferer. Can we, in a broad and generous spirit, without prejudice, without reservation, say to those, afflicted: “Here iu tho Cutieura reme dies, which may be had of any druggist at tees than tho cost of a physiciau’s visit, Is a speedy and permanent cure for diseases of the skin, scalp und blood, which have defied ail known remedies und the highest medical skill,” with a just sense of the responsibilities we assume? We say we can. Thousands of letters In the possession of the originators repeat this story: I have been a ter rible sufferer for years with blood and skin humors; have been obliged to shun public places by reason of my disfiguring humors; have bad the best. physicians; have spent hundreds of dol lars and got no real relief until 1 used the Cuti eura remedies, which have cured mo aud left niv skin and blood as pure as a child’s. Cutieura Resolvent, the new hlood purifier, cleanses the blood and perspiration of poisonous elements and impurities, ami thus removes tho cause. Cutieura, the great skin cure, instantly allays itching and inflammation, clears the skiu and scalp of disfiguring humors and itching tort ures, heals ulcers and sores, purifies and beauti fies the skin. Cutieura Soap, an exquisite skiu beautltler, prepared from Cutieura, is lmlisnensar ble in treating akin diseases ami for rough, chapped or greasy skin, sunburn, black heads, blotches and baby humors. Cutieura remedies are the only infallible blood purifiers and skin bemulflers. They are absolutely free from min eral or vegetable poisons and may be prescribed for every species of skin, scalp nml blood dis eases with the certainty of speedy roller and a permanent cure wiien all other remedies aud tho best physicians entirely fail.

This recalls the days of 1876, when Barnum was instructed to “buy seven more mules,” on the account of 8. J. Tilden. _____ Thk New York Advocate s-iys: “Beware of tinworthy ‘evangelists,’ ‘temperance lectur ers,’ ‘reformed men’ of all sort 9, who want to tell ‘The Story of My Life’ and give you half the proceeds. The country is flooded with them. Certain women, also, some most plausible, need to be shunned. It is the col lection they are after.” The St. Louis Republican very properly calls the engagement of Patti at $5,000 a night to sing in America, involving the neces sity of charging fabulous prices for admis sion, a reflection upon the common sense of the people of the United Btates. We ought to have brains enough in this country to stamp the wind out of such criminal and prodigal foolishness. Phii.llipsbubo, N. J., offers great induce ments as a place of residence for people who place value on sound legs and arms. An ordinance has been passed forbidding the riding of bicycles on the streets or pave ments, and imposing a penalty of fine and imprisonment for each offense. The reason for this action lies in the fact that recently several persons have been injured and horse 9 frightened by these machines and their riders. _______ Two Episcopalian rectors have presented charges of infidelity and apostasy against Rev. Heber Newton, and they are now in the hands of Bishop Potter for consideration. The difficulty lies in the alleged heterodoxy of the recent sermons Dr. Newton has been preaching, in which lie advocated substan tially the views held by Canon Farrar with respect to the Bible. The time has gone by for holding ministers of any denomination to a cast-iron interpretation of certain formularies adopted two 05 three hundred years ago. _____________ It is reported that Germany is so incensed over something or other that Minister Sar gent has done with respect to the senseless prohibition of the importation of American pork that the recall of our representative has been demanded. It is to be hoped that the administration will find means to teach Germany a much-needed lesson in common sense as well as of international comity; and if it cannot be done sooner the hog and hominy section of the country* will see to it that Congress provides the means when it meets next winter. The Philadelphia Times, in a leading edit orial, states that “the President was seriously ill, as every leading journal of the country stated.” This seems to settlo it The Presi dent himself says he wasn’t sick, as does everybody else who was with him on the Florida trip, except the four newspaper Paul Prys who thrust themselves into the party and were permitted to ride in a rear car. “The leading journals of the country,’' which insist that the President and his entire party are a set of conscienceless liars, are the newspapers who abused General Arthur’s courtesy and brought discredit upon the newspaper profession. Lord Dunmore, an English member of the House of Peers, says the result of the present agitation in England will be the overthrow of Mr. Gladstone’s government. That event must come sooner or later. He says the great bulk of the English people are already tired of having the entire time of Parliament and of the nation taken up with the affairs of Ireland, to the exclusion of English and Scottish interests, while there is also general discontent over the temporizing policy of the Gladstone cabinet. After the Irish agitators succeed in putting a hostile govern ment into power they may stop to inquire how far they have helped Ireland by their course. In his note of May 8, 1882, Mr. Freling huysen says: “The United States hold them selves free hereafter to protect any inter oceanic communication in which they or their citizens maj r become interested in such way as treaties with the local sovereign powers may warrant and their interests may require.” This is the canal policy of this country, and it will be adhered to. The American idea has been affirmed by the pres ent administration without any particular Spectacular effects, but it seems to us the af firmance has been made with dignity and de cision, and With quite as much influence and effect as if the dispatch had been written with the aurora borealis across the face of the sky. Explosive diplomacy, whether the instrument used be dynamite or rhetoric, is not strictly an. American idea. The latft surviving grandchild of Thomas Jefferson, Mrs. Meikleham, is at present liv ing in pinching poverty at Georgetown, D. C. She is the daughter of Martha Jefferson Randolph, Mr. Jefferson’s favorite daughter, and was his favorite attendant during his last illness. Until recently Mrs. Meikleham, who is now fully sixty-five years old, has been supported by the labor of her daughter, who has had a position in the Treasury De partment; but, her health failing, she was obliged to relinquish this situation, and for many weeks now has been not only incapa ble of earning anything, but has, by reason of illness, been under great additional ex pense, and both mother and daughter are now in absolute need of the actual necessa ries of life. During the last session of Con gress the committee on pensions unani mously reported in favor of granting her SSO a month, but the report was not acted on. The New' York World appeals to the Jefferson clubs throughout the country to come to the assistance of the great states man’s grandchild, and urge 9 them to see to it that she is placed beyond the reach of want. The noble Iroquois, of Chicago, might at least send her something, in view of the $5,000 they spent on the recent glorious de bauch in Chicago, where Carter Harrison knocked things galley west, so to 6peak. AMERICAN POTTERIES. The News, in the interest of free trade, assails the pottery business of America, and in an editorial article shows that the protec tion of tins industry costs the 55,000,000 peo ple of this country the sura of $2,991,096 an nually. Passing over the fact that this amounts to not quite five and a half cents per capita—a not very onerous burden—it would be well to look at the business in all its aspects. Twenty-two years ago the pot tery business in America was scarcely worth considering, it was so insignificant in ex tent in 1861, nearly all of our ware being imported from England and other European countries. The demands of war compelled an import duty “ranging from 25 per cent to 55 per cent, ad valorem,” according to the News. The natural result of this “bounty,” as claimed by free traders, would be to raise the price of pottery just that much, or, in other words, American potters would be enabled to ask from 25 per cent, to 56 per cent, more for their products than before this duty was levied. For example: the article that cost $1 under free trade would sell for $1.25 or $1.55. Instead of this, the result is directly to the contrary, and the same grades of pot tery now sell at from 50 per cent, to 60 per cent, cheaper than in 1861, when the English potteries had no opposition. The industry has grown bo rapidly in America that we are ready to compete with England, except in one direction —the ques tion of wages. The average weekly wages paid for skilled labor in English potteries is $6.89, while the average weekly wages paid the same class of workmen in American potteries is $18.50, or nearly three-fold greater. Now, if free trade means anything, it means that the men now receiving $18.50 per week in American potteries shall come into direct competition with the men who receive but $0.89 in English potteries. The free-trade doctrinaire wants the wages of the potter, the puddler, the operator in the woolen and cotton mills, and of every American mechanic, cut to a level with those paid in England. He would have the people believe that the work ing men of America are too well paid. It would not make much difference to the 55,000,000 if the thousands of skilled work men in American potteries were turned adrift after a vain effort to compete with artisans working for one-third of what they receive. But it does not stop there. The same principle that would wreck American potteries would close rolling mills, woolen and cotton mills, and every manufacturing industry now operating in America under protection. Free trade unmasked means, down with wages in America; they are too high; we would better pay the $2,991,096 into the Federal treasury as direct taxes than to use it to keep alive an American industry which has reduced the cost of its wares 50 per cent, to 60 per cent. Those in favor of a well-devised sys tem of protection take the opposite view'. They think it better to pay this burden of taxation in such a way that 10,000 American potters can be fed and clothed thereby. They are of the opinion that the man at the wheel is paid not one cent more than he earns. They rejoice that a w r ay has been de vised whereby the taxes that would have to be paid in any event can be sent to the treas ury in such a way that in transit they furnish food and clothing and shelter to 10,000 potters and to the 20,- 000 or more women and children dependent upon them. All this for cents per capita, which, but for the protective tariff, would have to be paid directly to the tax collector; and this takes no cognizance of the fact that all users of pottery now save vastly more than the protective tax in the reduction of price. We have immense suras to be raised annu ally in the shape of taxation. Free traders maintain that these shall be paid directly into the public treasury; that American in dustries and their w'eil-paid workmen shall be placed in competition with those of the old world, and that we shall run the risk of increased prices after English capitalists and low-paid operatives shall have killed op position here. Protection means directly the opposite of this; that our industries shall huve the benefit of our taxes and our w’orkmen shall not yet be obliged to work as cheaply as do those of European countries. If under this impetus the profits are inordinately large for a time, the induce ment to invest will be so great that home competition will soon regulate matters, and, as in the case of American potteries, re duce prices to a point where no reasonable citizen would complain. The News, in the article now under con sideration. attempts, in a covert way, to show that the average wages of skilled work men in American potteries is not $18.50, but much less. It says: “There were, in 1880, 686 stone and earthenware factories in this country, employing 9,494 hands, all told, who received $3,279,535 in wages. This is an average of $344 xj to each person, or an average weekly wages of about $6.24.” This estimate embraces every employe, skilled and un skilled, and if compared with the general lON .IOUUJNAJL, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1883. average in English potteries, would be found to be much larger than there paid. The Journal has shown, in a preceding number, that, taking thirteen kinds of skilled work men in American potteries, their average weekly wages are $18.50, while the weekly wages of the same classes in English potte ries are but $6.89. Hence, the general aver age of $6.24, arrived at by the News, is mani festly unfair, and calculated to deceive. PRINCIPLES OF ADVERTISING. “The time will come when it will not be considered a matter of square dealing for a newspaper to refuse to give information as to the extent of its circulation, which is the accurate measure of its usefulness for adver tising purposes.”—Exchange. That time has come now with the great mass of reputable and well-established news papers. But there are a few which feel it necessary to attract trade by a constant dis play of figures to the general public, or by a parade of notoriously false assertions. Both these practices are of the nature of Cheap John bush-ess. Persons w T ho seek the columns of a newspaper for advertising purposes are en titled to know precisely what they are pay ing for, but we know of no one else who is so entitled. That is the principle of busi ness in nil trades. A man who should be constantly prating of his commercial sound ness, or drawing diagrams of the wonderful extent of his trade, would be liable to be looked upon with suspicion, and very justly so. Asa matter of fact there are but few, very few, newspapers of any standing and character which have ever attempted to con ceal the extent of their circulation from those who, for business reasons, are entitled to know it, just as there are few, very few, papers which feel it necessary to pro claim from the housetops a fact which, if a fact, is known to every intelligent, wide awake audenterprising advertiser. It is only the gudgeons in business wtio are swindled into advertising in alleged newspapers with out circulation or influence. A merchant with intelligence enough to conduct his own business knows what newspapers in his town or city enjoy the circulation and influence that warrant him in paying for them. But there is a fallacy in the paragraph quoted, and which is one of the stock argu ments of a few newspapers, and that is the assertion that the number of copies printed or circulated is the only gauge whereby to test its value as an advertising medium, “the accurate measure of its usefulness for advertising purposes.” It does not require a moment’s careful thought to see the utter falsity of such a proposition. The extent of circulation is but one factor to be considered, and some times it may be the very smallest. The character of the circulation, the charac ter of the paper, the standing it has in the com munity to be reached by the advertiser, are all to be taken into account by the sagacious merchant. There are newspapers which cir culate widely, more widely than any other, in whose columns a reputable business should not be advertised, and if it it would reach but the smallest possible nunin ber of people who would be likely to bbcofiip customers. Asa rule, in all cities tne 9 VoW- J priced, cheap papers, which necessarily print the largest number of copies, circulate most widely among classes in which customers are not found for a very considerable percentage of business houses. The newspaper which is the best ads'ertising medium for general busi ness is tiiat one of established character, good repute in the comniunity, which covers its field satisfactorily, and reaches the largest number of those classes of people from whom such business expects to and does draw its custom. These facte are recognized by all pru dent and intelligent men; they are practiced upon by advertisers who study the science of advertising, and particularly are they em phasized in the advertising of specialties in what are known as class newspapers, the cir culation of which is necessarily limited, but which, at the same time, reach the larger per centage of people who are interested in the specialty. A high-grade book publishing house, for instance, would show singular judgment to advertise in the Police Gazette rather than in the Nation, simply because the Gazette may print many fold more copies than does the Nation; and so would a whole sale house or a first-class dry goods establishment display equal ignorance of the fundamental laws of advertis ing by giving its patronage to papers which find their principal sale on the streets and among transient classes, with do mestics and those in search of employment and in the exchange of labor, rather than in papers which are circulated among the busi ness classes throughout the locality which is tributary to the wholesaler, and which go into the homes of the resident people of the community whose patronage sup ports the first-class retailer. These facte, which are at the base of all judicious and valuable advertising, the Journal can afford to state plainly, without suspicion of interested motives, because it is universally known that while this paper enjoys in a good degree the confidence and esteem of the community, and reaches the best classes of tiie people in the territory it aims to serve, it also enjoys the largest cir culation, as a mere question of the number of copies printed, of any morning daily pub lished in the State. But the principles are nevertheless true, and apply to all news papers, wherever they may be published. Thr survivors of the Fifth Virginia Con federate regiment are making arrangements for a reunion at Niagara Fails, May 23, with the veterans of the Twenty-eighth New York, whose battle-flag was captured by the Vir ginians during the war of the rebellion. It is proposed to extend an invitation to the widow and daughter of Stonewall Jackson. The Virginians will be the guests of the New Yorkers. This, we presume, is an indi cation of what Colonel Vilas called in his Iroqouis rot, “the policy of hate.” The studied and intentional outrage now committing by the Citizens’ Street Railway Company in the practical destruction of one block of Washington street in order to so occupy the roadway that no new company could lay a track thereon, has very properly excited the indignation and protest of the business men whose property and con venience were immediately affected. But the proceeding should so arouse all classes of the people who have been sj'stematically abused by this alien corporation, that the majority of the Council would find, before the next meeting, that it was neither popu lar nor safe for them to continue longer their opposition to measures which would curb the arrogance and selfishness of this company, and at the same time give to Indi anapolis decent street-railway accommoda tions. The citizens of the wards in which councilmen live who have persistently arrayed themselves on the side of the existing monopoly, should see to it that their representatives are no longer given the poor excuse of feigning ignorance of the sentiment of their constituents. Ot course, there are some men who have helped to make up the majority, from whom a differ ent vote could not be expected under any circumstances; but there are those whose names are to be found on that side of the roll calls whose action is an amazement. In view of this last demonstration of the Citizens’ Company, it certainly does seem that no more argument should be required to con vince intelligent and honest business men in the Council of the immediate duty they owe the city.

The following are the conditions upon which the proposed endowment of Asbury University, Grecncastle, is to be completed: “First—The citizens of Greencastle are to en large the present oatnpus so that the grounds of the university will embrace about thirty-five acres in the heart of the city of Greeuoastln to do which will cost probably $50,000 or more. “Beend—The friends of the university are to subscribe $150,000 to increase the endowment, so that the university us now organized may have all its expenses met without, the usual an nual deficit, and after Aug. 1, 1883, the friends of the university are to pay $L0,500 annually to meet current expenses, less the amount widen iuay be received as interest from the above $150,000."

The Inventor does not say that now liqattT l after passing through his process, will be literally ten or fifteen or twenty years old, but that the strong burning flavor, the fusel oil and injurious acids, will be eliminated, the result be iug the same as that wrought by the slower chemical action of the atmosphere. The advan tage of the new plan is claimed to be in making good liquors as inexpensive as those which are new and fiery, but which, from their cheapness, are in most, common use. Old whisky, ihough pure, is also costl}', and according to the Boston man, if men will drink they should have liquor of the best quality —which view of the matter is undoubtedly correct. The metropolitan police is daily growing in favor in Indianapolis. The people of that city for the first time in tuauy years are finding out the advantages of u good police force.—Evans ville Courier. What is the use of printing such nonsense as this? The metropolitan police force has not been on duty long enough to know whether It is good, bad or indifferent. About the only cer tain thing known is that it will cost at least SIO,OOO more than the old force, and it will have to prove itself to be very good to induce the taxpayers to foot the increased bills without grumbling.

An Ambitious Editor. Washington Capital. Major Burke, the brilliant editor of thfr Times-Democrat, is a very ambitious jour nalist. He has a very good newspaper property in New Orleans, but he sighs for other worlds to conquer. He contempt&tes establishing a newspaper at Dallas, Tex., which he will run b\ special wire from New supplying his own news and edi torials each night. Dallas is a good railroad point, and the enterprise promises to work well. But this is not all. His great scheme is a daily newspaper in the City of Mexico, also to be run by special wire. This is a more doubtful plan, for it does not appear that there is yet a sufficient English-speak ing population in that city to support a dally paper. That he cherishes such plans as these, however, is a striking indication of the development of American ideas in the South west. George Washington's Church. Washington Post. The old Pobick Church, situated near Mount Vernon, is well known as the place where General Washington and his wife worshiped ninety years ago. Its rector re ceived a part of his annual pay from the General, wdio was a patron of tiie church. For many years anterior to and after the late war the edifice was in a state of dilapidation, but has of late been restored. It is now a comfortable and well-furnished church, w'ith caipeted aisles, roomy pews of dark wood, a neat chancel carpeted and inclosed within a handsome railing, and a rich-toned organ. The church has been presented with a costly communion service, solid silver offertory plates, and a set of beautifully embroidered altar linen, the latter donated by Mrs. Laughton, one of. the regents of Mouut Vernon. Abuse of Our Hospitality. Cincinnati Journal. A generous host who turns his house into an asylum and welcomes a distressed stran ger. and makes him a member of the family, has no right to expect that this adopted member shall so agitate personal grievances and old domestic troubles as to involve his host in a needless difficulty with an inoffend ing neighbor. The long and short of it is that Irish citizens of the United States have no more right, as citizens, to plot against and pester the government of Great Britain from this secure soil than have other citizens of the United States. No Newspaper Without the Associated Press, Evansville Courier. The purchase of the Morning Journal of Cincinnati, by the News in that city, together with the right of the Associated Press privi lege of the former paper, establishes the News upon a permanent basis. The price of $115,- 000 seems a high one, but the public de mand all of the current news, and no paper without the right to publish then* can be a success in this advanced age. Tha Courier congratulates the News on its success in acquiring this important privilege. Comprehensive aud to the Point. Washington Capital. Mra.

OBSTRUCTING A THOROUGHFARE. The Street-Car Company Proposes to Block ade Washington Street with a Third Track. WWK The Citizens’ Street Railway Company has al most completed the laying of a third track on Washington street, from Illinois street half ft block east, which they propose to use as a switch for their transfer car and for extra cars during State fairs, eucarapinente, circus days, and on similar occasions. The property-holders in the neighborhood were not aware of the comnanys in tention until yesterday, when the track was near ly completed, and a movement is on foot among them to sret out an injunction preventing the company from using it. According to the terms of the ordinance recently passed by the Council, permission was given the company to build a switch “near the intersection of Wash ington and Illinois streets,’’the understanding being that the track was to be laid on South Illi nois street at the. point where the transfer ear now stands. The management, ns usual, availed tbemselves of this bunglingly-wordeu provision to lay their tracks on the principle thorough fare in the city and at a point where It will prove an obstruction to traffic, and an obstacle to business in every wav. It mav be readily seen how, a line of oars standing for hours at that point would prove a hin drance to all sorts of travel. On circus days, and on occasions when the city might be more than ordinarily crowded, Washington street would he rendered almost impassable by the presence of a soore or more street cars standing on a side trHok, nnd with a struggling ,tnob about them. Colonel Johnson yesterday expressed himself as very anxious that the prop ertvho ders should take no steps to prevent the laying of the track, but that they would allow the companv time to demonstrate that the ar rangement would work no inconvenience. Col. Johnson—guileless patriot—would not, under uuy circumstances, do anything to inoonvenience the dear public. Os course not. Amusement Matters.

Professor Barus has been drilling the members of the so ciety for several months, and the work has been faithfully aud Judiciously done. Reserved seats for either performance can be obtained at the box offioe of the theater. The sale of reserved seats for the perform ances of “Monte Cristo,” at the Grand th© first three nights of next week, will begin at the box office to-day.

One mouth ago the finance committee of the Board of Aldermeu submitted a statement show ing the aggregate amounts expended by eaoh de partment for nine liiOQtii ending with the Ist of March, being three-fourths °f the fiscal year. That statement is far from soothing to tax-pay ers. It exhibits the fact that nearly every de partment has expended In excess of the esti mate for that department and that the city is rush headlong into debt. The figures were com piled by Alderman Hamilton, who called the attention of a Journal representative to the table, yesterday, aud whose name, with those of Alderman Seibert and Alderman Mussmann, is appended to the statement. It shows that the Board of Health on an estimate of $2,500 a year, ($1,875 for nine months,) has experded $1,953.85 In nine months; that on an estimate of $2,500 a.year for bridges, $4,913.32 have been expended in nine months; that the city dis pensary, the city had, the city hospital aud branch, have all exceeded the estimates in their outlay. The fire department In nine months has expended $58,035,18, being $3,285.18 in ex cess of the estimate for that time. The street improvement account, on a basis of $7,875 for nine months, shows an expenditure during that period of $14,029.83, being $0,154.83 iu excess of the appropriation for that time. The street department, repairs to bridges, estimate for nine months $2,250, got away with $4,578.65 in that time and the repairs to sewers also exceeded die estimate. The While river rip-rap has had $3,- 405.27 expended upon it up to March 1,1883, and there is a call for a further expenditure from that quarter. The total of the estimates for these nine months is $272,717. This state ment shows that $292,980.87 have been ex pended during that time, being an expenditure of $20,263 87 over the estimates. These are very pretty figures, but when one takes into consideration the fact that last year Ibis city expended $25,01)0 more than its rev enue und that at the rate we are iiwW going It will expend more than $28,000 for the present fiscal year, ending with the 31st day of May. it looks like it is time to call a half. To this amount of $292,980.87 expended in nine months, add $123,541 linerest paid in that time, which will give u total of expenditures for three-fourths of the year, of $416,521.87, and the totai estimate for the entire year, embracing all reocipts for general purposes, is hut $496,127. Mr. Hamilton, when questioned yesterday, as to what could be done io stop this depletion replied that he could see but one course—to re duce expenses in every department. He did not see how any great saving could l>e made la the fire department, though he was of opinion that some money mignt be saved by contracting for hay, grain and other supplies instead of buying, as now, from day to immediate need. It is thought by councilmen nnd aldermen alike that ihe cost of the police force under the metropolitan system will be increased nearly or quite SIO,OOO a year over the present estimate, while the receipts from tbo mayor’s office iu the way of fines turned Into the City treasury will diminish $4,000 or $5,000. The city's nouded debt is In the neighborhood of $2,000,000 (of which $500,000 is Belt road bonds, uud merely contingent), the assessment is as high as it can go, and the tax levy as high as it can be got. The question is how to de crease expenduures—no easy question with the city fathers with people clamorous for all kinds of improvements, regardless of the financial straits of the metropolis. AN INSURANCE SENSATION. W. C. Grubb Sued for $1,500 by the Ro chester German Company, aud liis Property Attached. The Journal of Monday last contained an ac count of the failure of the Argentine Insurance Company, of which W. C. Grubb of this city was secretary, and one of the principal orginators, and this failure probably had much to do with a suit that was begun yesterday against that gen tleman by the Rochester German Insurance Company, for which he had been the agent here for several years. The amount demanded is $1,500, which it is claimed Mr. Grubb owes the company, partly on account of collections made, and refuses or is unable to pay. The complaint makes the somewhat sensational allegation that the defendant has disposed of much of his prop erty and left the State for the purpose of defrauding his creditors, and the Indiana Na tional Bank is made a co-defendant, in so far as garnishment proceedings go, under the belief that that institution has some of Mr. Grubb’s funds in its possession. The suit is brought against W. O. Grubb, and the firm of Grubb Paxton, which, it is alleged, are one and the same. In accordance with the suit, Mr. Grubb’s residence on North Illinois street and other property arc attached, A Journal reporter yesterday called at that gentleman’s office and was informed by bis book-keeper that he had goue to Richmond, Va., on last Monday, to attend a meeting or the Royal Arcanum, and that he expected to be absent one week; but a dispatch had been sent calling him home at once. The gentle man further said that Mr. Grubb had been con siderably embarrassed by the failure of me Argentine, aud was therefore unable to pay the Rochester German Company all he owed them, but would do so us soon as their business could be settled up. Mr. A. W. Hatch, the attorney for the company, said that, his information was not. very extensive, but he knew from Mr. Atwood, the secretary or the Rochester German Company, that lie had had much trouble in getting a settlement with Grubb, and that when the latter left the city, on Monday, he said ho was only going to a small town in this State, and would be back within a day or two, and as lie had not returned the suit was brought as above indicated. New Enterprises. The New Harmony Manufacturing Company filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of Btato y ester day. The company has a capital stock of $12,000, and will manufacture wash boards. The directors are William M. Ford, John Corbin, Horace P. Owen, William H. Owen, Homer Litchtenberger, James W. Dayis and John B. Cnyler. The Hartford City Masonic Building Com pany, organized for the purpose of erecting a Masonic hall in Hartford City, was incorporated understate laws yesterday. The oapltaf stock is fixed at $4,000, divided into shares of $25. Ninety-two of the shares are already subscribed for. Articles were also filed yesterday incorporat ing the Evansville Uuion Stockyards Company, whicb Ik organized for tbe purpose of establish ing a stock market in Evansville upon the same system of operation as the Union Stockyards in this city. The capital stock is fixed at $30,000, and the directors are Jeppe BerteUon, ad tone Schmler, Ahe Eiokel, Fred. Gut ling, Horace Builen, Adam Schauss aud John Schneider. Mrs. Longneeker Wants a Pardon. Mary Aun Longuecker, who was convicted in this city, nineteen yoars ago, of poisoning her husband, and sentenced to imprisonment iu the Female Reformatory for lire, lias filed with the Governor a certified copy of a document show ing that prior to her marriage with Longuecker she waived ail rights to his property in the event of her surviving him.

TILE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1883. A NEW USE FOR PAPER. How It Is Employed by the American Paper Pulley Company—A Novel Industry. No More Broken Pulleys to Sell for Scrap, or Poorly-Balanced Pulleys to Rack Line and Countershaft. Anew and important industry has recently been started iu this city by the American Paper Pnliey Qomnany, at Nos. 114 and 116 South Pennsylvania street. The successful application or paper to the manufacture of car-wheels indi cated that-it might be advantageously used in other appliances where iron had hitherto been exclusively employed. The suggestion war, pe cuiarly happy in respect to pulleys, as the Amer ican Paper Pulley Company h&6 successfully demonstrated. Tne company now makes two styles of pulleys—one with a disk or body of paper, with a hub of cast iron and a rim of wrought Iron; the other with a paper-edge face, being all paper exoept the hub, which is of iron. The paper used is cloth and tur board paper in thin sheets, which are thoroughly saturated with cement and then put together under hy draulic pressure, the disc being made by tbe same process employed by the Alien Paper Car wheel Company. The advantages of the paper pnliey are numer ous. They are stronger, lighter and cheaper than cast-iron or wooden pulleys. Being from one-third to one-half lighter than irou they can be run with safety at a higher rate of speed, transmit ting the same power with lighter shafting aud lighter hangers. They are stronger and more durable: (1) In the absence of shrinkage strains to which cast pulleys are subject. (2) To the even bearing of the rims on the discs, tnere being no weak or yielding spaces as in a pulley having arms sup porting the rims. (3) The rims are not fragile and easily broken as in cast iron. These pulleys are designed for any and all classes of work, but especially recommend them selves to mill furnishers, millers, woodworkers aud machinists. The point that especially commends the paper pulley is that the paper face, by reason of fric tion <m tbe belt, prevents the belt from slipping, and thus 25 per cent, of the power of tbe engine, otherwise lost, is saved. And this result is ob tained with a looser belt thau can be run on any other pulley. Models of Elegance and Comfort. A Journal reporter uas been favored with a sight of the pluun of the beautiful residence block of five dwellings that Mr. J. G. Douglass is preparing to build on the southwest corner of New York and Illinois streets. It is of a some what novel design, being different from any thing of the kind now iu the city. Each tenement in the block is separate from the others, and will consist of eight rooms, with a cellar and attic and each will be supplied with filtered rain water, bath-rooms and water-closets, and be connected with gas and Sewer. Standing as it will on the corner of two streets, with a public alley on the south sud a private alley on the west, it will have ull the advantages of air and exit. The front will be tlegaui aud, architecturally, some thing eutirHy new. Tuere will be porticos above to each tenement and verandahs below. The littllp, vestibules and hearths will all lie tiled with handsome tiliug from tbe United States Encaustic Tile Works, of which Mr. Douglass was one of the founders, and iu which he is still a stockholder. The erection of the building is under the supervision of Mr. J. H.Hcharn, who will spare no pains to make these residences perfect models of comfort. Mr. Douglass is beginning to take rank as a publio benefactor. The Maxim Inoandescent Light. Mr. T. C. H. Vauce, of the United States Elec tric Light Company, of Newark, W. J., madtfW convincing display of the beauty'and of the Maxim Incandescent light at ts§ pehison House last uight. There were tjiesfc incandescent lamps in the readftig-rooffi find office of the hotel, and they exhibited tbe fact that the electric light can be made to take the place of gas in all Kinds of lighting, whether of factories, stores or dwellings. These Maxim incaudeecent lamps are of twenty-five candle power, and can he furnished as cheaply as gas. The light is about equal to that of two of the largest gas jets in illuminating power, burning with little or no hear, aud does not (as does gas) vitiate the atmosphere, aud the light is as steady as the uoonday sun. The Maxim inoandescent light is iu use by the Hoffman House, in New York; the Equitable Life Insurance building, in New York, is lighted throughout with it, and the Jersey ferry boats of the Pennsylvania railroad. The New York and Philadelphia postoffiees are also lighted with this light and have been for over a year. The United States Electric Light Company also owns the Weston arc light, nnd received the contract for lighting the Brooklyn bridge with that light, over all competitors. Seventy arc lights will he required. Mr. Vauco will probably form a company m this city. A Severe Test- The other day Mr. A. 8. Burgess, traveling agent of the Union Pacific railroad, whose net weight is 254 pouuds, and Mr. Warwick, travel ing passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific rail road (the latter gentleman turns the scale at 226 pounds), met in this city and concluded to vary the monotony of railroad travel by a buggy ride. They selected a light, little three-quarter buggy of the Columbus Buggy Company’s make, and behind a rapid young horse, started out upon the boulevard. The horse, being of an Inquisi tive disposition, after going a short distance looked round to see what sort of a load ho had behind him, and when he did see became fright ened and ran a.w.iy. The two gentlemen were thrown our, hut with admirable presence of mind it occurred to Mr. btirgess to sit down upon the horse, which he did at the risk of smothering tlfo animal. Strange to say, the springs and every part, or the buggy stood tbe shock and strain admirably, aud taken alto gether it was a superb allowing of the excellent quality and durability of the work turned out by the Columbus Buggy Company. Thf. Bostonian definition of beauty is “the thingness of the utterly quite.” Our idea of beauty, however, is that crushed strawberry neckwear at Parkers.
