STUDYING WEATHER RÊPORTS. Penobhcbt Ice Dealers Smilingly Be gin to Figure on the Crop. Banc.οι;, Feb. 1.—Mr. T. J. Stevens.of the firm of T. J. Stevens Co., says concerning the prospects of Maine Ice men "The Penobscot crop of ice Is assured and the same cannot be truthfuttv said of any other river in Maine. The Kennebec people are smart, and if they can't get theit usUal crop of 800,000 or 1,000,000 tons on the river, they'll seek the ponds and streams, for ice they must have. They at preseut, as I liavfc been told, cannot plane their ice for the rea son that it is unsafe for horses. Here on the Penobscot we have in bouses about 80,000 tons, nearly all of which was cut last year, though some is two years old. In 1880, when we had a winter similar to this, and when in February New York, Philadelphia, Wash ington, Providence, Boston and other cities came down here clamoring for ice we turned to and cut Into April. "We cut so far into the warm season that a block of ice left one hour exposed to the sun's rays would not hold the hoisting hooks, it was so porous. But we put up a big lot of It, and we sold it well. If the trade comes this way we are now much better prepared than in 1880 to attend to it, and I feel quite sure that we can, in a week,.give them 20 or 22 inch lee." Since the above conversation some snow has fallen, and where the ice men thought to be cutting yesterday, they were busy scrap ing off the falling snow. Since then, too, ad^ ditional contracts Imve been madei the price is walking up, and the Penobscot men begin to rub the palms of their hands together rather more briskly than before. "Ten days more will tell the story, and only a mighty cold wave, and way below zere, too, will keep the ice men from rushing down to Ban gor," said one dealer. All are hopeful and all eagerly study the weather report. TRIED HARD TO DIE. But Though Cut, Bruised and Frozen He May Recover. St. Paul, Feb. 1—Early this morning the police found a man apparently dying under the Robert street bridge with an ugly gash in his throat. He proved to be Samuel Roth* child, of Hartford, Ct. He had tried to end his life, lie took poison and threw himself from the bridge. Then he tried to cut his throat with a pen knife. The cold nearly killed him, his extremities being frozen. H is thought he may recover. ALONCI THE SHORE. A Heavy Cale on the Massachusetts Coast· Highland Light, Mass., Feb. 1.—The strong Northwest gale continues. Its veloc ity was 40 miles an hour at sunset. Steamer General Whitney, for boston, passed North at 3 p. m., but had not passed Kace Point at 0 o'clock, owing to the force of the gale.

Milfobd, Mass., Feb. 1.—Today, Greene Brother·1, heel manufacturers, discovered an extensive conspiracy to defraud them, on the part of their employes. About 20 girls and boys, from 14 to 18 years, were paid by the pound of heels cut. They were caught stealing finished heels from the weighed bag", for re-weighing as new work. The stealing lias been going on for months, and the aggregate losses are very large. Visited by Whitecaps. Alisant, Ν.

GRIST FROM THE LEGISLATIVE MILL. Waterville'· Friend· Make a Point for Their Session of Court. How Hannibal Hamlin 8erved a· a Private Without Pay. A Bill Relating to Life and Accident Insurance Societies. [Special to the Press.l Augusta., Feb. X.—The first debate of length la the Senate occurred this forenoon, over the proposition to change the February term of the Kennebec Superior Court from Augusta to Waterville. Senator Herbert M. Heath of Augusta argued against the change Senator W. T. Haines of Water villi: for It. The debate was spicy and interesting, and attracted a large number of spectators. Sen ator Heath argued forcibly against "putting thte coutt on \Vhetels." Il was not consistent With the dignity of the court, especially since the court business in Waterville was too smnll to demand such a method. Senator Haines, on the other hand, argued that Wa terville was the central point, both of Ken nebec county and the State. He also adduc ed statistics to show that the court business in Waterville and vicinity would be suffi cient for tho change. The relative advan tages of Waterville and Augusta were dis cussed by both debatars. The Augusta ho tels came in for a share of hard raps. Senator Walton of Skowhegan said he thought th° statements of both debaters should be taken with a grain of salt. But on the whole he thought theiW was most rea son fur t-emoVal. He was for Waterville. Senator Heath replied, doing manful bat tle for Augusta ;and Senator Haines came up again and again for Waterville. The yeas and nays were taken on the question to indefinitely postpone the bill,and it was lost, 22 to 6. The bill then was passed to he engrossed. Waterville had won In the Senate. Never a Patriot for Revenue. As Capt. Clark of the adjutant general's office was searching the records today he came upon the roll of Company A, State Guard called to Fort HcClary from July to September 1864. Among the names of the privates is that of Hannibal Hamlin. Oppo site each name is a space for "Remarks." Against Mr. Hamlin's name Is the entry, "Stop all pay and allowances at his request." Mr. Uamlin was then Vice President of the United States as well as a private in Com pany A, Maine State Guards. In neither po sition was he a patriot for revenue. It is related, though not on such unim peachable authority as the public records, that the illustrious patriot was assigned to duty under the quartermaster, and that that functionary, not wishing to put his distin guished subordinate at too arduous work in the bupplies department ordered him to go a fishiug. It is nowhere recorded that the fish caught added materially to the stock of sup plies in the quartermaster's department. Insurance Matters. Mr. Barker, of Bangor, introduced in the House today a bill which has been formulat ed and agreed upon by representatives of all the Mutual Insurance societies in Maine. The bill provides a general law for the or ganieatloc of Mutual Life and Accident companies, equalizing the amount of reserve fund to be deposited with the State Treasur er at not less than 15 per cent, on all mort uary assessments and not less than 10 per cent on nil accident assessments. The bill also provides that in case of an excessive loss a company may uuder certain conditions use a portion of its reserved funds temporar ily. The bill further provides that mutual companies from outside the State may do business in the State provided they perform the conditions required of Maine companies, pay the license as now required of other out side companies and file a copy of laws of their States allowing the operation of Maine mutual companies, This bill has been care fully considered by representatives of all the Maine companies. Win. £ngel and Lewis A. Barker of Bangor, represented the New Brunswick Company J. C. Moore, Thomas ton, and Everett Smith, Portland, the Prov idence Aid S. A. Lowell and Hou. Seth M. Carter, Auburn, the Maine Benefit; Chas. H. Bootliby, Portland, the Maine Mutual Bene fit. They are all agreed to the provisions of the bill. The Liquor Law. General Neal Dow appeared before the leg islative committee on temperance last night. He said that in three lines which he could put into the prohibitory liquor law he could shut up every grogshop in the State, to ac complish which he would suggest an amend ment by which, upon the first conviction for sale, the fine should be $1000 and costs and a year in Jail, and that liquor cases should not be continued from term to term. Lawyer L. T. Oarleton, county attorney of Kennebec, presented the following change in the present law, which he explained and defended. He would amend that section which provides that '"any hop beer or other kind of beer containing more than two per cent of alcohol by volume shall be dfemed intoxicating liquor," so that 15 per cent of all lines aud forfeitures recovered under the liquor law shall be paid to the county attor ney and 10 per cent to the person furnishing the evidence of conviction. The regular term fee, as in civil cases, shall be taxed in the bill of costs in every indictment under the liquor when Judgment is had for the State, and paid by the clerk to the county attorney as soon as collected. He would amend sec. 2, chap. 17, so that, when a court having Jurisdiction shall find any place to be a liquor nuisance, it shall direct an officer to shut up the place and take possession, and shall publicly de stroy all liquor aud appurtenances for its sale found there, and upon conviction, the owner or keeper shall be fined not exceeding 81000. Any citizen of the county where such nuisance exists may maintain an action in the name of the State to abate and per petually enjoin the same, the injunction to be granted at the commencement of the ac tion, no bonds being required. Any one vio lating the terms of such injunction shall be punished for contempt of court by a fine of 9200 aud 60 days in jail. When judgment is rendered for the plaintiff, the court shall render judgment for a reasonable attorney's fee In such action in favor of the plaintiff, and such fee shall be added to the costs. Mr. Carleton also spoke of the need of al lowing druggists to sell for medicinal pur poses. George E. Hrackett, secretary of the Grnnd Lodge of Good Templars, offered the follow ing amendments to the liquor law, drawn up by tne committee appointed for that purpose by that organization That the sales by a town agent shall be confined to the town or city for which he is appointed; making knowledge on the part of the corporation employes that the law is broken sufficient to prove a knowledge on the part of the corpor ation that the party who gives information or evidence which shall convict a violator of tue law bilan be allowed one lourtli ol the flues collected that the appointmeut of one or more State constables, with State jurisdic tion under control of the Governor and Council, be authorized that the com plainant in cases before in ferior courts be allowed to obtain sufficient legal aid to sustain their case, and that such counsel De paid 810 and travel by the State; that the nuisance act shall bo amended so that the supreme court, on infor mation by the county attorney or petition of the voters, may issue an injunction in equity abating any such nuisance. Ν. K. Woodbury, a prominent Good Temp lar of Auburn, offered the following amend ment, which produced considerable com ment: "No person who Is in the habit of drinking intoxicating liquor is competent to sit as a juror in any case involving the man ufacture, transportation or sale ol intoxicat ing liquor, and when information is com municated to the court that a member of any panel is of drinking habits, or believed to be bo, the court snail inquire of the juryman, and if he so admits, or declines to answer, be shall be relieved from service in that and fu ture cases as a juryman." Mackerel Seining. The bill relating to the mackerel fisheries on which the fish and game committee will make two reports, relates to an old matter of controversy. In 1879 there was an amend ment made to the law striking out the word "mackerel" from the list of fishes-herring, shad, alewives, etc.—which might not be seined In any bays or rivers the mouths of which are less than three miles wide. In 1880 another attempt was made to amend by inserting the word "mackerel." This failed. In 1883 the statutes were revised and in the revision the word "mackerel" was put in, by some error. The revision being accepted the amendment became a law. The majority re port of the committee now recommends the striking out of the word "mackerel," putting the law as It was in 1879 and up to 1883. Mr. WUitten of Portland, leads the majority of the committee In favoring this, while Seua tor Hinckley who has always opposed strik ing .out the word, leads the minority. Washington's Inauguration. The President of the Senate appointed to day Senators Heath of Kennebec, Sleeper of Androscoggin, Lord of York, Hunt of Waldo, Harding of Cumberland, Ryder ol Penobscot, Clark of Aroostook, and Sargent of Hancock, as thë Senate committee to join with the House members and eucn as the Governor may appoint in representing Maine at the centennial celebration of the Inauguration of W&shlngtoh. Sénat» Business. The report of the railroad committee re porting favorably on the bill to ratify the lease of the Bangor and Eatabdln iron Works Railway to the Bangor and Piscata quis came from the' House for concurrent ac* ceptance. Senator Collins of Aroostook, moved that owing to certain legal questions In the matter, the bill be referred to the ju diciary committee for further Investigation. Senators Hunter and Lord of Penobscot, and Senator Haines thought the matter had been sufficiently considered by the railroad committee. Senators I.ibby and Wright asked some questions on the matter and op posing another extended hearing at much waste of time and expense. Senator Ryder also opposed a new reference. Upon motion of Senator Haines a yea and nay vote was taken resulting in 20 voting against and nine In favor. The report was then accepted in concurrence. Tne lobster camo In for a large share of at tention this morning and a large number of petitions and remonstrances were presented as follows: Remonstrance of Frauk K.

SENATOR ALLISON'S POSITION. λ Positive Refusal of the Treasury Portfolio. Washington, Feb. 1.—Senator Allison yesterday communicated to bis near friends ;hat he had written to the President-elect peremptorily declining tbe appointment of Secretary of the Treasury. It has been very generally believed at the capital for the past £n days that he would accept, but when he returned from Indianapolis his fellow Kepub icans united In begging him not to leave the Senate and yesterday he decided to follow dieu α uvitc, α nu uy umcij s uiau ucuciai Harrison will have the letter of positive de ?liuati«>n and it is felt that the Senator can îot again be induced to waver In his resolu ;lon. it is also well known that as far as Sen itor Allison's personal inclinations were concerned he did not want to leave the Sen ite for any purpose. It would lead to com plications as to his successor and he did not [now what would become of Ur. Clarkson, who wanted and deserved a place In the ;abinet. Resides all this, some οί the very ■losest friends of the Senator, Dot alone in luwa, argued to him that President Harri ιοη would be slated for a second term, and Allison in the cabinet would have his hands .1 -«1, even though he m'ght get the nomln ition if he were in the Senate. It would not lo for a cabinet officer to think of the Presi iential nomination while there was a chance >f the President receiving the nomination for a second term. If the administration was successful President Harrison would be renominated if unsuccessful it would be )ut of the question for one of his cabinet jfflcers to retain sufficient popularity to tecure the nomination. Somoa In the Senate. Washington, Feb. I.—A message from ;he President vetoing a bill granting a pen don to Mrs. Ellen Hand, was received in the senate today. Mr. Saulsbury offered a resolution, which ν as a agreed to, instructing the committee >n foreign relations to inquire into the con lition of affairs in the Samoan Islands and report what measures may be necessary and proper to protect the interests of American ■itizens therein aud to discharg» any obliga lions of the United States to people of those ;slands in maintenance of their own local government from interference of any foreign power and to secure just rights and interests if the Uuited States in future control and government of those islands. jur. oiicnimu ^icscuicu α ictior iruui me Secretary of the Navy with a copy of the formal cession of the harbor of Pago Pago made to the United States by the Samiiau government in accordance with the treaty. It was referred to the committee on [oreign relations. At 2.10 the Senate proceeded to the con sideration of executive business, presumable the British extradition treaty. House Business. Washington, Feb. 1.—The House has passed the Oklahoma bill by a vote of 108 yeas to 102 nays. The so-called soldiers amendment was not considered. A conference report on the bill to create the department of agriculture was agreed to. The clause transferring the weather bureau to the new department is retained. The House amendments to the South Da kota bill were non-concurred in and a confer ence committee appointed. The conference report on the Nicaragua Canal bill was ordered printed and laid over as was also the onfeience report on the bill to amend the Inter State Commerce act. The House then went Into committee of the whole on the private callendar. The greater part of the afternoon was consumed In the consideration of the bill authorizing the court of claims to adjudicate the claim grow ing out of a contract with the government for the use of a patented invention in the manufacture of the Sibley tent. No decis ion was arrived at. The Senate bill was passed t extend to the port of Sault St. Marie, Mich., privileges of transportation in bond. The House at 3 p. m. took a recess until 7.30. At the evening session 25 pension bills were oaesed. The House at 10 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow. Another Appointment!for Harrison. Washington, Feb. l.—The agricultural department bill, a9 It passed the House this morning, makes the bureau of agriculture an executive department, and makes Its head a cabinet officer with the same ralary of the other cabinet officers, and provides an assist ant secretary of agriculture, wbo shall re ceive the same pay as the first assistant sec retary of the Interior. The Extradition Treaty Rejected. Washington, Feb. 1·—The Senate further debated the British extradition treaty nearly three bourg today, and Anally rejected It 38 to 18. Other Washington Matters. It Is alleged that clerks of the Treasury Department bave been engaged in buying up the certificates of government witnesses which had been discountea by national banks, the banks being induced ts sell at a low figure because of a decision rendered by comptroller Durham that the certificates were payable only to the persons, named on their face. It is said that having bought the cer tificates, the clerks secured a reversal of the decision and collected the full amount there on. The total public debt Is now $1,686.308,060. 67; debt less cash In the treasury February SI, 121,845,973.24 decrease of debt during the month, $12,216,284 15. The Senate committee on military affairs today favorably reported the bill to retire Qen. W. S. Kosecrans with the ratik of brigadier general. A post office has been established at Win necook. Me., with William R. Wbltten, post master. Shipbuilder Cramp, speaking of ships and modern military methods of destruction, re marked today that the dynamite cruiser would be quite ready for operation as soon as needed. A fleet on Sandy Hook or Port land would be very weary of lier presence. The terrible explosives which she carries can be thrown three miles. For coast oper ations she would be the terror of any tleet. "If," he added, "we should be suddenly thrown Into war, the dyuauiite guns could be mouuted at the entrance to the harbor or upon ordinary vessels, properly braced. All this would be the work of a very short time. The fear of such a monster of destruction would exert a terrifying influence upon the personnel of any fleet." "I am not figuring on war," said^ne, "but if It should come, we can very readily defend our coast. Representative Ualllnger, from the com mittee on invalid pensions, today reported favorably the Senate bill granting pensions of $25 per month to all female nurses of the late war, who served six months and whose service was approved by Miss D. L. Dix, superintendent of women nurses. The agricultural appropriation bill com pleted by the House committee on agricul ture purposes an appropriation of $1.636,010. as compared with estimates of $1,686,160 and an appropriation for the present year of $1, 715,826. The regular appropriation of $100, 000 for the purchase and distribution of seeds is made, but the Commissioner of Agriculture is required to supply the seeds directly to the several State agricultural ex periment stations for distribution by them. This will deprive Congressmen of their usual quota of seed. President Cleveland has sent to the Senate the following nominations Jesse D.

New STork, Feb. 1.—Indications this morning In the great street car tie-up were that the companies were gaining ground and the strikers losing. More cars were running on the tied-up roads than were out yesterday The east side stables were quiet. The strikers who were out were looking for work. A large number of applicants for work called at the office of the 2d avenue road to day in answer to posted placards announcing that men were wanted. Strikers to the num ber of 200 or 300 congregated and jostled the ι men as they came out. Several fights took place. The police rushed in with their clnbs and the result was black eyes and bruises, but no arrests were made. One bystander was severely injured by a flying stone. The State railroad commissioners met again today, but none of representatives of the contending parties in the strike appear ed before them. They can do nothing in the matter. They say they are attending to the board's routine work. Four of President Richardson's cars were run in Brooklyn this morning without mate rial interference from the strikers. Ten po ll :emen were on every car. Kails were torn up on 4th avenue but quickly replaced. A committee called on (he company for a con ference but met with no success. The report that all the lines would be tied up this morn ing was a mistake. Men on Brooklyn city lines will not go out because they could not help the others financially in that event. Belief is expressed in reports that Mr. Richardson brought about the strike in order to procure all the stock in the road and al lows the tie-up to go on in order to secure a large sum in damages from the city. A com mittee of South Brooklyn residents will institute a suit in the supreme court to com pel the deacon to run his cars. Patralman Geo. Lilly of the 23d precinct, this afternoon while on duty was badly beat en by 14 strikers. He Bred point blank at crowd and a man fell and was taken away by his friend». Everything is quiet tonight. It is thought there will be a pretty general resumption of business on all the lines tomorrow. An at tempt will be made to run a ctr on the Belt line. SENATOR WASHBURN TALKS About Hie Mythical Illness and Sev eral Other Things. Chicago, Feb 1.—The Senator-elect from Minnenota, W. D. Washburn, arrived here yesterday. To a reporter he said "Oh, I am not dead, as some people would have it. I am good for a great deal yet. I can't imagine how that canard about my se rious illness originated. -People on all sides have Hooded me with telegrams. Blaine wired dip yesterday, and said: 'Tell me all about it and just bow you (eel.' Yon see, James was much afraid the Republicans were about to lose a senator. My only trou ble is a general tired feeling, due to the strain ana worry of the recent senatorial contest, together with a slight cold and a trace of neuralgia. I hope it is nothing worse, and 1 am positive it is not. Minneso ta is as quiet and inoffensive as any State in the Union. There is not the slightest trace of bad blood existing between the friends of Mr. Sabin and my adherents. I saw Mr. Sa bin just after the caucus, and 1 am sure he was friendly to me and every one else. Of course be recognized that politics has its full compliment of trial and defeats. Our State is much interested in tne welfare of her sister, Dakota Territory, and every person within the bounds of Minnesota is just aching to see Dakota divided and as two sisters admitted into the Union. Personally, 1 think it an outrage that Dakota, with a population of over 700.000 people, cannot enjoy the benefits of th« United States. It is to be hoped that this will soon be remedied; if not during the present session of Congress, then a special session. "As far as 1 have heard, I feel that I can say that Uismarck has been carrying on in f high handed manner. The whole group oe Samoau Islands Is not worth the price of one American life, and 1 think Germany is tha last country or foreign power that we could war with. You see, a great proportion of our population is German or of tbat descent, and considering ttiis and our poor navy and almost useless army.and vast extent of sea coast, it would be chimerical to declare war. We can arbi trate the matter and teach tiistnarck a lesson or two, 1 think. When it comes to a direct violation of our Munroe doctrine, then I am in favor of a war, but only as a last re source." ThelRieht Klr.d of Sentence. Baltimore, Feb. 1.—'Thomas Norfolk (colored) a Democrat, wa ι convicted to-day of inducing John Jackson (colored) to at tempt to cast an illegal vote at the Novem ber electiou. and was sentenced to bve years imprisonment aud a fine of $1000 outside of his penalty. Resolutions of Respect. The Eromathlan Adelpbi Society of West brook Seminary was organized by the stu dents Àrll 6,1863, through the efforts of Kev. Dr. J. P.

MISS ROSE BENNETT,) Committee MR H. B. STONE, 1 on MR. II. il. HOYT, Resolutions. ADVICES FROM AUCKLAND AND BERLIN. The Declaration of War la Not Credi ted by Bismarck's Organ. Mataafa May Rule If He Does 80 Under German Control. Mr. Bayard Declines to See HI· Rep resentative to Samoa. Auckland, Ν. Z., Feb. 1.—The latest ad vices from Samoa ear Tamasese's support ers have been reduced to 800 men. The Brit ish and American consuls declined to recog nize the right of the Germans to establish martial law. The German authorities are willing to recognize Mataaia provided he rules under German control. Bkblin, Feb. 1.—The North German Ga zette says the declaration of war in an inter national sense on the part of the German consul or the commanding officer in Samoa is Improbable. No instructions to that ef fect have been given by the government and there U no opponent in the Islands against whom war could be declared. Tamasese is a friend of the Germans and Mataafa is not recognized as a ruler by Germany. The Ger man forces may, on a basis of self defence and reprisals be engaged in actural warfare, but that would not Involve the consequences, of international war. Berlin, Feb. 1.—The Cologne Gazatte says "Germany must restore her authority In Samoa and must make an example of the ui'sdoer. This fide of the procedure is de termined upon and is unalterable. Germa ny's proposals for the settlement of the difficulty, now on the way to Washington will convice America of Germany's endeav or to deal justly with all duly established interests." WHAT LONDON SAYS. The Standard Thinks That Bismarck Will Not Quarrel. London, Feb. 1.—This morning's Standard in the course of a long editorial on the Sarao an question, says "f rince Bismarck is not likely to court a quarrel with the United States for the sake of gratifying the local spite of il err Weber, or any ol the pushing Germans who aspire to treat the Samoan Islands as their Pacific preserve. There is no mistaking the earnestness and sincerity ol the protests made at Washington in this case. No theory of electioneering exigen cies can be invoked to explain away the un compromising language employed by the leading politicians. The reserve with which Mr. Bayard has hitherto responded to ap peals made to the State Department (or prompt and energetic action will not mislead German diplomatists. In his correspondence with Berlin he has made bis meaning ex ceedingly clear. The United States will not tolerate any attempt to subvert the independence of the Samoan Islands. The engagement into which the Cabinet of Ber lin has entered with Great Britain precludes us on our part from assuming that any in fringement of the neutrality of the group is contemplated, but it must be owned that there is enough in recent proceedings to just ify the concern with which American states men regard the situation. Surely It is time that the cooler head of the Chancellor should overrule the flimsy arrogance of his subordi nates at A»ia. He bas work enough on band as it is. Why should he not make the repre sentations of the United States a pretext for retirement from a conflict on which it was a mistake to enter and which it would be in fatuation to prosecute?" The News, commenting on the same ques tion, observes "There is no doubt some room for misgiving on the score of the facil ity with which Prince Bismarck can secure the agreement of Lord Salisbury in his col onial undertakings, but we hesitate to be li«ve that even the Prime Minister's pliabil ity will extend so far as to support at the risk of disagreement with the American gov ernment a Dolicy of further repression in Samoa. Before this country can sanction Erseverence in Germany's policy in Samoa, iustilicatiou will have to be made clearer then it Is now. FORCE IF NECESSARY. Mr. Thomas's Resolution Regarding the Samoan Crisis. Washington, Feb. 1.—The news of the recent action of the German forces at Samoa has given rise to quite a commotion among members of the House of Representatives and much indignation is felt at| the an nouncement that the Germans intend to search vessels arriving at Samoa. Repre sentative Thomas of Illinois who is a parti cularly active and influential member of the committee on naval affairs has prepared the following resolution which will be presented to the House at the first opportunity Whereas, from reports transmitted to Congress riy tne rresiaem οι tne υ nuru stairs ana irom current newspaper accounts, tbe rights of Amer ran citizens appear to have been grossly Invaded Mid the commercial interests ol the United States jeopardized by tbe action of ttae,Ueruiau govern ment through Its naval forces In tbe Samoan Islands, and Whereas, late newspaper dispatches show tbat steps have been taken looking to the acquisition of tbe Samoan Islands by tne German govern ment In violation of tbe rights and interests of [hegovernment with which the government of tbe United States holds treaty and commercial relations and In violation of tbe treaty rights of the Γ nlted States. Therefore, Be It resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United states In Congress assembled that tbe President is hereby authorized and directed to take such steps forcibly, If deemed expedient, as are necessary and proper to protect and maintain the honor, iligulty and Interests of tbe flag and government of the United States and Its citizens against tbe acts ol the Emperor of Uerraauy or his forces. MR. SEWALL NOT RECEIVED. Secretary Bayard Too Busy to See the Consul General to Samoa. Washington, Feb. 1.—Consul General Sewall will leave this city tonight for his post of duty at Samoa, via San Francisco. He was yesterday relieved from further at; tendance before the committee on foreign re lations. Mr. bewail called at the State De partment yesterday to receive any instruct ions that SecretaryBayard might be disposed to give. Mr. Sewali says that he sent in his card and waited for a considerable time and was not received, lie was informed that the Secretary was engaged and could not see him. Mr. Sewall seems to have Inferred that Mr. Bayard did not care to see him—which was perhaps not a very strained inference. Mr. Sewall says that he leaves without any new or special instructions, and without any Instructions whatever except those which he received when he first left for Samoa. Mr. Sewall says that he had fully expected spec loi InofmnMAno o.lnnlo.l oU... tloD, but that be shall not again apply (or them. It had not been expected that the State Department would permit Mr. bewail to return in view of his aggressive opposi tion to his superiors, but the department seems disposed not to interfere. Mr. Prye is a member of the committee on foreign relations and deefly Interested in the Samoan situation. He does not care to «peak at length just now, but he does not say that it seems to be a fact that three asser tions are made by Germany in Samoa. First, the right of search ofAmerican*vessels going Into tne harbor of a nation with whom we are in treaty relations; second, the suppres sion of free speech and third, the assuming control of the police lin Apia. Apia is the municipal city, which by agreement between Germany, England, the United States and the Samoan onief or king, was made ueutral ground, in which these nations had equal rights. Mr. Prye added that, if such a course is persisted In, every one knew what that would mean. A CHANCE IN POLICY. Bismarck Send· Important Order* to Samoa. Washington, Pen. l.—The President has transmitted to Congress additional corres pondence relative to Samoa, showing that in conformity with Secretary Uayard's repre sentations the German Government has ex empted foreigners from the operation of mar tial law In Samoa, and has directed the Ger man consul to relinquish his cowman 1 of the administration of the Islands. The navy department officers were very emphatic yesterday in the statement that the report as to the vigorous demonstration of Çapt. Leary of the Unites States vessel Adams in threatening to Are upon the Ger nian vessel Adler could not be true, as the officers of our vessels had no such instruc tions. Mae Slept a Month. Attica, .Feb. l.—Mrs Emma Althouse wbo for some time has been subjec to long swoons, is still asleep, tbls being her twenty-ninth day. Everything known to medical skill wan tried by Dr. Hetel, the physician who has now the case in charge, to awaken her, but the doctor finally gave It up. A galvanic battery was applied, cold water was thrown upon her face, and other meth ods were tried in vain. The only effect the battery had upon her was to forae her to open her eyes, but she never regained con sciousness, and with the exception of a little more color caused by feveristiness, her con dition Is about the same as last week. FOR CLAYTON'S MURDERER. Six Thousand Dollar· Offered forth· Detection of the Aeeaeeln. Little Rock. Ark., Feb. 1.—Oov. Eaale offered today, on his own account, a reward of 91000 for the arrest of the assassin who shot Col. John M. Clayton. Two hours lat er the bill introduced yesterday in the legis lature authorizing the State to offer a reward of $5000, was passed, and Oov. Eagle Issued a proclamation denouncing the crime, offer ing the 99000 reward, and calling on the law abiding people of the State to assist In the detection of the murderer. A score of de tectives are at work in Conway county, and the majority of them are working on the theory that the men who stole the ballot-box which gave Clayton a majority, are the men who murdered him. The excitement, at Pine Bluff Is Intense. Business has been suspended, the court house draped in mourning, and all nags placed at half-mast. The feeling that the Democratic party of the State is responsible for the crime, has changed, and the most prominent Republi cans say that they do not believe It is as bad for the Democrats as It first looked. There is a feeling, however, that C. K. Brecken ridge should refuse to take bis seat in Coo- ι eress, and should join In a call for a new election. As it stands now, he will go in without a count of the votes in the stolen ballot-box, which were said to be largely In favor of Clayton. The entire State is work ed up over the crime, and every possible ef- 1 fort will b*· made to discover the assassin. Threatened With Lynching. Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 1.—Frank W. Pope, indepent Republican candidate for Governor in 1884, has been threaten witb as sassination in Madison connty. The whole country thereabouts In in a state of excite ment. He has recently been employed by F. S. Goodrich, the defeated Republican can didate for Congress In this district to repre sent him in taking evidence throughout the district in support of his contest for his seat. A deliberate attempt was mailt· last night lynch Pope in the city of Madison. LOST AT SEA. Eight Gloucester Fishermen Who Will Never Return to Port. Gloucester Feb. X.—Schooner Mary J. Wells, from the Grand Banks today, reports speaking tbe schooner John C. Whlttier on heGrandBanks, which reported that An drew Monro of White Head, X. S., and John Puffet of Nova Scotia were drowned by the capsizing of a dory while attending trawls. They were both single, and had been fishing bat a short time from here. Schooner William McCoy, owned by Wil liam Bradshaw of Piacentia, N. F., com manded by Captain John Keliey, and having a crew of six men, which sailed from that port Just before the Novem ber storm with 200,000 pounds of codfish consigned here, has been given up as lost. No tidings have been hearofrom her since she sailed. FOLLOWED JOE MOORE. Another Indianapolis Man Tries a Change of Climate. Indian Ai'OLie, Feb. 1.—John E. Sullivan, sounty clerk, of this city, failed for 979,000 last Tuesday, and Is missing. He Is suppos ed to be in Canada. He Issued fraudulent warehouse receipts for large consignments Df poultry, produce, etc., which he was sup posed to have. The amount of these re oeipts has not been developed. County Treasurer Lafton, whom Sullivan owed 921, 000, has 93000 of them. Sullivan's confiden tial clerk and bookkeeper, Tom CKNeii, who wrote the receipts, is also missing. THE STATE. AROOSTOOK COUNTY. The Aroostook papers claim that the lum bermen kill ten deer to every one for tf.e sportsmen In Aroostook county, and it is not thought that this Is a large estimate. HANCOCK COUNTY. The fishermen around Hancock Point and Bar Harbor are making money in catching Sounders for tbe New York market. Tbry »re caught and packed in barrels, and sell very readily in New York. KENNEBEC COUNTY. According to the WatervllleSentinel, Ken lebec county is getting to be rather danger )us for travellers o'nignts. A man near Au (usta is said to have beenlattacked by a bear ant uutilr ansf nn PrIMati niah^ η KlmiHthlNtn :oon is said to have attack χα Mr. Frank jep sou while walking from Vassalboro to Wa «rvllle. The ferocious beast laid hold of ;he traveller's legs with such business-like persistence that it required all the persua ilon of a tirst-class kicker—which Mr. Jep »on seems to be—to convince the coon of his ;rror. He finally retreated in good order. PENOBSCOT COUNTY. The Methodists of Bangor and Brewer nave started a monthly paper called the Methodist News, which Is devoted to the in terests of their churches in the two places. The young people of the Universalis! so •iety at Dexter have formed an organization drnilar in its nature and the work to be per formed, to the Christian Endeavor societies In other churches. It will be called the Build of the Qood Shepherd. The Opera House. The committee on opera house held a meeting at tbe Board of Trade rooms yester day morning, the full committee being pres ent. The secretary was instructed to make the following statement for the information of all who are interested The committee has examined all sites for an opera house thus far suggested, but either from unsuitable location or from the high price asked by the owners, or from the un willingness of owners to fix any price at all, the committee has been unable to make any arrangements for securing a site. The committee, therefore, earnestly desire that any one having a lot suitable for this purpose (which should at least be 75x100 feet) which they wish to offer, will commu nicate with the secretary, George C. Bur gess, who will lay the proposition before the committee. A Lively Runaway. A horse attached to a sleigh belonging to Goodwin's stable while standing on Congress street yesterday afternoon, suddenly became frightened and started on the dead run down the street. The people In the street at once gave him the right of way. When he reached Milk street he made a quick turn, nearly running over a little boy and rushed at full s need into Sawver's stable at the corner of Milk and Federal streets. The horse run the whole length of the stable and brought up against some carriages. The sleigh was a complete wreck and the horse's hind legs were somewhat wrenched, caused by break- 1 Ing through the floor. Appreciated Abroad as Well a· at Home. The Kennebec Journal speaks in warm 1 praise of the "beautiful little collection of hand-decorated china," by Miss A. M. Qould of this city, which Is on exhibition in Au gusta this week. It says "There are only eight piece.», but they are each worthy ol a very careful study. The most noticeable piece is the large vase with the stoDper, which we think a very fine example of the use of matt colors and bronzes. This piece is choice in design and careful in execution, showing the deft touch and fine insight of the true artist." Mr. Clergue Coming Home. A despatch from Uangor yesterday .salil: "Frank H. Clergue leaves Persia for home to-day. It is a month's journey. lie has cabled his friends that he has made very promising arrangements with the Shah and is full of confidence that a fortune is in store for himself and bis associates. The scheme is teu times bigger than anybody here has imagined. Clergue's friends say that be bas on foot the greatest enterprise or series of enterprises ever projected by an American citizen on foreign soil." Drop In Coal.

THE PEESS. SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 2. We do not read anonymous letters and commu nications. The name and address of the writer are In «11 cases Indispensable, not necessarylty lor publication but as a guarantee of good taith. We eannot undertake to return or preserve communications tbat are not used. jThe New York borne ear etrike Is practi cally over. The winter season is a bad time for such demonstrations. There are too many men oat of work and anxious to get in. __ The latest information from Washington apparently settles it that Allison has declin ed to accept the .Secretaryship of the Treas ury. Still, nobody kuows whata day wll] bring forth In the wa? of cabinet construc tion. A sto-y that hat a highly sensational flavor comes from Washington to the effect tbat Bismarck has ordered a military attache to the German legation in Washington to in vestigate our army and navy and our fortifi cations. Blsma-ck appears to have thrown off all disguise from his intentions In Samoa Heretofore he has been fighting the native king indirectly through Brandels, the prime minister of the pretender Tamasese. Now he declares his intention to make war on Ma taffa and his followers directly, and pay no attention to mediatorial negotiations. Mat ters in Samoa are approaching a crisis very rapidly. The Austrian crown prince left one child, a daughter of the age of five years. The rule In Austria is that the succession cannot go to a female except in the case of the total extiuction of the male line. If tills rule Is observed the present Emperor's brother will be bis successor if he.livee, but.the rule was broken in the case of Maria Therese, and an attempt will no doubt be made to break it again In favor of the crown prince's daugh ter Mayor Graut has do doubt greatly delight ed Tammany and the other Jacksonlans by calling upon the civil service board of New York city to step down and out. Grant ac cuses them al spinning cobwebs to catch unlucky candidates for clerkships. Perhaps they are guilty, but what Grant Is probably after Is a board that will spin nothing at all that will prevent him from waruiing the cold toes of theTauimany boys. Mayor flart of Boston seems to be a gen uine reformer. The water board of Boston has had an attachment called a division of inspection and waste, a body constituted os tensibly for the prevention of waste of water. Mayor Hart has dlscoveied that the princi pal business of the division has been to waste the city's money, and consequently has given orders for Its abolition. There will be a great howl go up of course from the men thus turned out Id the middle of a cold winter, but they probably won't suffer, while the taxpayers will experience some relief. The Saxton bill was considered by a com mittee of the New York Legislature this week and arguments upon It pro and con were Usteoed to. Police Commissioner Voorhees of New York made all the objec tions that were made. He opposed the pro vision allowing a party representing 1 per cent, of the vote cast at the last election to make nominations and that permitting SO citizens to make nominations for minor offi ces. Another objection was that the system would increase the oust of elections. The most essential feataies of the measure went uncriticised. Exception is taken to the section of the Looney bill that provides that a political con vention must represent a party that threw at least 3 per cent, of the vot» at the last elec tion to entitle It to have Its nominees printed upon the official tickets. This per cent., It Is said, would cut eff both the Prohibition and Labor parties from representation. Another section that provides that nominations signed by a thousand qualified voters shall be placed upon the official tickets partly corrects this alleged Injustice but not wholly. But It the three per cent, clause works injustice it can easily be amended by reducing the per cent, to two or ooe, and we see no cause for objecting to such amendment. Had the New York horse railroad strikers behaved themselves they would be In pos session at this time of a large share of public sympathy. They are poorly paid and com pelled to work long hours, aud on this ac count public opinion would naturally incline toward them. Then, too, the treatment by some of the railroad managers of proposi tions looking to a compromise of the diffi culty ha- been so overbearing and Insolent as ιυ grr&uy prejuuice me oase.oi ιοβ com pauies. But the conduct of the strikers In tearing up and obstructing tracks, stoning dcivore simply because tbey would not join the strike bas been so outrageous as to ar rest the current of public opinion which at first was running In their favor and turn it away from them. Perhaps some day strik ers will learn that the very worst way to ac complish their object Is to resort to violence. Our Foreign Trade. Congressman Dingley In his speech to the Boston Chamber of Commerce Thursday evening corrected some prevalent errors con cerning the decline of our foreign carrying trade aud with it the decline of shipbuild ing. A common idea Is that our foreign carrying trade did not begin to decline until the passage of the Morrill tariff bill, and the beginning of the war. But Mr. Dingley shows that It began five years before either of these events. In 1855 75J] per cent of our exports were carried in American built ships. But from that date to 1861, though our exports Increased very rapidly our tonnage In «lie foreign carrying trade just barely held Its own. The tide had begun to turn against us. Each year after 1853 to 1861 we built fewer ship· for the foreigu trade than the year preceding. Thus while in 1854 we built fl07 ships for this trade, in 1850 the number was only 117. In 1861 the per con»., of our exports carried to our own vessels had fallen to 664 as against 75} In 1855. Another prevalent nctlon U that our pro tective tariff has so reduced our exports that it has diminished cargoes to be carried and in consequence reduced th demand for shins. Mr. Dingley showed that this Idea was erroneous. Our exports and Imports never increased so rapidly as tbey have since the war and under 3 protective tariff. In the decade between 1851 and 1861 our Iforeign commerce averaged annually only #20.67 per Inhabitant, but in the decade between 1871 ana ιββι 11 increased 10 per Inhabi tant. So that if our shipping in the foreign trade bad increased in proportion to cargoes to be carried, we should now have a tonnage in that trade more than four times as large as in 1861, instead of less than half as large. The causes of the decline of our foreign carrying trade and its failure to revive are, in Mr. Dlngley's opinion, these First—There lias been a revolution from wood to Iron ami Keel In materials, aud from sails to steam In means of propulsion of vessels. ttetoud—The advantage secured by Oreat Brlt tatu through this revolution was greatly uicrea- ed by tbe aid extended by the British government to her steamship Unes by means of tbe so-called pos tal subsidies, and to her shipyards by meant of profitante coutracts tor building war vessels. Third—'Jreat advantages were securea by Great Britain Immediately after she had. In 1850 obtain ed from tbe United States reciprocal legislation on avowing British vessels to participate lu the business ι Γ carrying our exports aud Imports on the same terms as American vessels. Fourth—The four years of civil war, with tbe op erations of the Confederate cruisers, hastened the decline of our shipping In tbe foreign trade, not only l>y destroying our vessels, but also by com pelling owners to dispose at them to foreigners. Fifth—After the successful Issue of the war, and tbe solution of tbe problems of reconstruction might have admitted of earnest efforts to over come the difficulties of tbe situation of our foreign carrying trade, so many of our old ship owners and captains bad been diverted from their former business Into new and more profitable chanuels opened by the development of the new West, and by tbe construction of railroads, limt It has been feund Impossible to bring about the adop'lon of measures necessary to secure revival of our ship ping In the foreign trade. Mr. Dlngley expressed the opinion that even If foreign built ships were admitted free they would not be purchased by Americans, and run under the American flag, because they cannot be run so cheaply under our flag as under the British. "When," he said "the citizen Is willing to go to the Clyde and Tyne to bave his ship built on foreign soil, to save a little, he will be likely to taite another itep and put his £hlp under a foreign Sag to eare more." If Mr. Dingley is right then the only hope of the revival of shipbuildings this country for the foreign trade lies In the direction of (ortrnment aid. Either direct bounties or bounties in shape of liberal compensation for carrying the mails must be relied upon to a large extent. If the people are not willing to afford that kind of assistance then they might as well look upon the foreign carrying trade as irretrievably lost. CURRENT COMMENT. l'OBTLAND'g NKXT MAYOK. [Bath Times.l Major Hoi man S. Melchar is likely to be Portland's next Mnynr—a clean, able, wol thy man—an ex-soldier of as proud a record as that of any Maine wearer of the blue. The Forest City honors itself in calling such men to the fore. PERSONAL AND PECULIAR. Chief Justice William Conrad Reeves of Baibadoes, who has just been knighted by the English government, Is a colored man, his mother having been a full blooded Degress. His father was a Scotchman. The most gorgeous equipage in Washing ton is the landau of Japanese Minister Kuki. Its running gear is of the brightest vermii llon. The upholstery is of cherrv satin, and all the mountings are brass. A pair of large clipped bays, with colored coachman and footman in dark livery, complete the outfit. It is a strange colncldencefthat the husband of Victoria Woodhull Martin is descended in direct line froui Mrs. Oandridge, the mother of Martha Washington. Gen. Washington states that she was born in the county of New Kent, in the United States, in May. 1732, and married at the age of 17 to Col. Daniel Parke Custes, in 1749, and after his death to Gen. Washington, and died at Mount Vernon in 1783. Mrs. Cleveland will remember her last year in the White House with more pleasure than the other two, says the Hartford Post. She is a little freer in her te'lal intercourse than in previous winters, and is able to draw the President more from his work. They ride a great deal, and have been seen several times walking the length of Connecticut ave nue. "Enjoying themselves like other peo ple," as the President put it when asked what he was going to do after leaving the W hit#* H miao Miss Marie A. Brown, the enthusiastic ad vocate of the theory that America was dis covered by Leif Ericsson, lias started a weekly paper in Chicago, which she names after the Norse navigator, with the motto, "Houor to whom honor Is doe." She an nounces that the lirst object of the publica tion is to secure a universal recognition of the claims of the| Scandinavian hero, and secondly the unmasking of Columbus as au imposter, the chosen tool of the lioman Catholic Church, commissioned to find the Western continent, by dint of information previously acquired In Home and Iceland, f >r the purpose of affording that Church ex tensive new territory for the seat of its future temporal power. Thirdly, the pre vention of the Columbus celebration and fourthly, the resistance of all encroachments of whatever nature, on the part of the Church of Home. NOTES BY THE WAY. Moore, the insurance agent who got away with a million dollars of his company s money, seems to have been rather a free ageut. Everybody will think of Cleveland at the inauguration dinner. The first course will be soup. We want the Capital and therefore we work for it. "Capital cannotget along with out Labor" is a well known axiom of poli tical economy. Come, Madame Goose, you must hurry up and redeem that prophetic boue of yours, or else confess yourself nothing but a quack. An American (lag, charred by fire, riddled by German bullets and torn by Limburger scented hands, has been received by the State l>epartinent from Samoa. Volumes eould not Samoa. The Mills bill has returned to the ways and means committee of the house after many days. It is safe to say that no bill ever made such α stir In this country before. Bill Nye is nowhere compared will ft. It sometimes looks from the talk as though a European war were inevitable. It also sometimes looks as though our windy Amer ican pugilists might shortly come to blows. Experience teaches, however, that neither event will take place. It is no question whether women shall be allowed to vote. The difficulty is to get wo men to allow that they ought to vote. The "white caps" must be governed by the strong arm of the law. Even such work as beating wife-beaters and mashing mashers" must be strongly condemned. Keely has been released from prison, and keeps the secret of hie motor still locked up in his brain. This triumph will probably bring Mr. Keely a vote of renewed confi dence from Ills stockholders, aud more mnnpv. Rev. Mr. Blanchard to the Remon strant·. To the Editor of the Press: Meeting an esteemed friend yesterday whose name appeared among the list of those opposed to woman suffrage we engaged in a conversation halt playful, half serious Presently she said "I do not know but what we sont In our remonstrance too soon. 1 want to vote on the question of the Portland Rochester extension." I. replied that I would give her some other object lessons on Woman's Suffrage. Thinking the matter over I decided that it Is my duty to present publicly as well as privately, I address my self, therefore, {o the remonstrants against woman's suffrage. Many of those are my Per sonal friends* They know that I respect their feelings, that 1 honor their earnestness that, if no one else would present their re, monstrances to the legislature, I would do it myself. I ask them to consider some object lessons. Suppose the Portland Kochester Κ. K. appeals to the people by permission of the Legislature and by omission of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. That corporation U not unanimous in its desires and yet de spite the disapproval of two of its directors, gentlemen who are greatly honored in this community, the energetic and adroit leader may secure a majority of the votes. Do you wish to have the railroad run through our Deering Park? Would you not, like my honored friend and remonstrant, wish to vote? The Legislature votes to raise the age of oonsent from thirteen to fourteen. Notwith standing the earnest appeals of women, so far only would the men in the Legislative committee go, I said to a gentleman in Au gusta yesterday ''What Is the reason of the opposition to making the age sixteen at least?" He could not tell. Naming one leg islator who two years ago opposed the peti tion to raise the age of consent, he explained to me that person's vote. But be could not understand the present action of the judhia ry committee. Do you not believe that if women were voters the petition of women in this regard would be heeded Would you not like to vote on this question? The committee has voted against the Reformatory Prl.-on for women. I asked a former legislator the question "Is it not the parsimony of the men at home that makes the legislators vote airains havincr a nrienn ί>·' Πη o»u. i- I said "Supposé women were voters, do you not tliiuk the Legislature would vote lor what they admit Is needed aud that we should then have the reformatory "I do," he said. It Is one of the best arguments for woman's suffrage I have heard." Would you not like to vote for such a prison I beg you to consider these object lessons. We who believe will patiently wait We could give you accounts of opin ions already changed since the remonstrance was signed. We nope to win many others before two years more shall have passed. We seek facts and truth. We shill be glad to confer with you In private or listen to opposing views in public. We can all work foi what we believe to be right with courtesy and mutual rwspect. Cordially yours, Hknuy Bi.ancha.bd, 234 State street, Feb. 1, 1889. A Plague of Tigers In Java. [From the London Times.] According to the administration report of Java recently laid before the Dutch Cham bers portions of that Island are being depop ulated through tigers. In 1882 the popula tion of a village in the southwest of the Ban tam province was removed and transferred to an island off the coast in consequence of the trouble caused to the people by tigers. These animals have now become an intoler able pest In parts of the same province. The population is about 600,000, and in 1887 61 were killed by tigers, and in consequence of the dread existing among the people it has been proposed to deport the inhabitants of the villages most threatened to other parts of the country where tigers are not so common, and where they can pursue their agricultural occupations with a greater degree of security At present tbey fear to go anywhere near the borders of the forest. The people at present seem disinclined, or they lack the means and courage to attack and destroy their enemy, although considerable rewards are offered by the Government for the destruction of beasts of prey. In 1888 the reward for killing a royal tiger was raised to 200 florin». It ap pears aUo that the immunity of the tiger is Γη part due to superstition, for it is consid ered wrong to kill one unless he attacks first oi otherwise does Injury. Moreover, guns were always very rare In this particular dis trict, and, since a rising η few years ngo, have been taken away by the authorities altogether. HlIRCILLUKOd.

Father wont relish that." "Well, I can't help it," answered the gill, in a discouraged tone. "Ho needn't have sent Martha off just at this time." "It's all right, dear," said a pleasant voice behind ber, and Orphies slipped Into ber seat at the head of the table. She had changed her wedding dress for a simple calico, and a white apron was tied about her trim waist. "Martha was getting old, Kosa Bell. We want a younger rnaid of-ail-work. Never mind the forks, Kathie I have some better ones in my trunk. Hector, it strikes me this dining room is rather small.'* looking about the dingy, poorly-furnished apartment. "It must be enlarged in some way. You must see Dunham about it at once as it must be attended to before warm weath er sets in. Dog days are so try Ing in Hills wood." "My dear Orphies,"—Mr. Hunter turned his severe eye on the dimpled face opposite— "it would cost a mint of money to enlarge this room." "Not so very much," said Mrs. Hunter, composedly. "We had ours done at home, I think papa said the cost was #150." "One nundred and fifty dollars!" cried Mr. Hunter, staring at his young wife as if he thought her crazy. "Why, my dear Orphies, you bpeak as if money grew on bushes, and could be picked as easily as berries. Be ides, 1 never heard the first Mrs Hunter complain that this room was close." "Poor thing!" 6ald Orphies, pityingly, "perhaps she didn't dare to. What were you saying, Arthur? A base ball match on Hie common? Wliy, that'» delightful. Don't •stay at home on my account, I beg of you. Ut> and enjoy yourself while you can Were I a boy I'd go with you. Δ9 it is 1 will sit ι by the window with papa and watch the fame. Oh. Hector, I forgot to tell you! 'lorence Freeman was married yesterday, and who do you think the bridegroom was? Oh, you would never guess, so I might as well tell you. It Was Percy Whitman, and such a display as was made. Not at all like our humble union." "Why didn't you take him, then?" growled Mr. Hunter, whofe feelings were somewhat ..ïi ,y Q proposed change in the house. He wanted you at one time, didn't he?" orphie laughed gleefully. "I didn't want him," she said. "I had rather have you than a doien Percy Whit mans." And then, springing up, she threw her arms around her husband's neck, greatly to the children.s astonishment, and. If the truth be told, to his own as well. ,,"We will need some wood for the mornln g Hector," said Orphies, that night, as her husband was preparing to change his boots for the comfortable slippers he had com manded Kathie to bring him. She bad found so much to do, and had en tered so heartily into the duties awaiting her, that her weddiugday had passed very much the same as those spent under her fa ther's roof. "Father never chops the wood," ventured Rosa Bell, seeing the look of surprise on her father's face "Mamma always did it, and when she died I looked after the kindlings." Orphie* gave the batch of dough she was kneading a vigorous turn. "That isn't woman's work," she said with a determined shake of her head. "Come Ar thur, help papa In with the wood, and then we will hear all about the base ball match. Uurry, Hector, my deer No, no, Arthur isn't strong enough to cut those great logs. That is your work. He will bring it in as fast as you get it ready, and baby and I will come and see that you do it properly. Catching the little one in the round, white arms bare to the elbow, and dotted here and there with patches of Hour, Orphies danced out into the woodshed, followed bv the grumbling Hector and the amused ehildren. "Didn't 1 tell you father had found his ma'ch?" whispered Kosa Bell to her bro ther. "He never did this In his life, and yet he doesu t say a word I'm glad she's come." "If she keeps on the way she has begun, I'll staud a chance of getting out to olay once in h while," answered doubting Arthur. "I had just a jolly good time this afternoon, thanks to her, and (f I never get another, 1 can look back on that."_ _ ^Orphies bad been married a week, when people began to look for open war; but if there was any thç young wife kept it to her self. To be sure, life was not all sunshine, but she had expected a few rainy days to creep 1 She had married Hector Hunter in epite of the reputation he bore. Why she had done so no one knew, but probably Orphies did, for in spite of the apparent dreariness of her let, she was sunny, sweet-tempered and happy in her new home, just as she had been in ner old. True to her word. Orphies wept to work to enlarge the dining-room. She had painters and carpenters, masons ahd plumbers, till Mr. Hunter was beside himself with rage and threatened to go away tf that state of af fairs continued. Orphies calmly listened to all his speeches and when the room was fiuished to her satis faction, pulled his easy chair into the most comfortable corner, brought out a uew pair of slippers and foot-ïtool, then presented Ιιίω with the bill and the most charming kiss in the world. Strange to say he pa'd the former without a word, and returned the lat ter with interest. Still holding her tight but invisible relD* and atoning for her harsh measures by the most loving caresses. Orphies at length suc ceeded in subduing her unruly steed and get ting him to bend to the yoke. but her ideas of improvement did not end with the enlargement of the dining-room. A two-story L was added the following Spring. The parlor was refurnished and a reat piano for Arthur's especial benefit was rougnt from the city. "My children shall be taught to love their home," said the determined little mother when her husband battled against what he called a foolish pit*!? of extravagance. "Rosa beil is quite old enough to go into so ciety. Young Tomiinson is partial te her and 1 had rather have him feel free to call where 1 can have a chance of judging of his character than to endeavor to meet her on street corners or at the village poetofflce. Books and musio have an ennobling influence over the young, and I had rather have Ar thur master of the piano than of the billiard table. In order to keep our boys and girls we uiust exert ourselves to please them. Give the hnsks at home, and they will most assuredly seek the wheat elsewhere." To this speech Mr. Hunter replied in curt but decisive words. He guessed he was mas ter of his own children, and as to having his house filled with company from morning till night, he would not. It was out of the ques tion. He couldn't afford It. Gas was expen sive, and the wear and tear of carpets and furniture was something to be thought of. but, after following Rosa Uell about from corner to corner a few evenings, and break ing up a few private interviews with young Tomiinson, aiter listening to Arthur's boyish bets over a game of billiards, and breaking up Kathie'e intimacy with the girls employed as "cash" In Blind and Co.'s store, he gave in, and quietly put all the responsibility on bis little wife. Though younc in vears. Ornhies was a wise little woman. Never as much as "I told you eo" passed her Ηρκ. Calmly accept ing the burden, bhe carried it along as she had intended to do when fate gave ner Hec tor Hunter for a husband. And the man whom all the villagers had feared on account of his crabbedness said never a word. Books, ftapers, music and paintings found their way uto his home. Ills house was always open to the young, and the old were always wel come to the warmest place beside his hearth. When Kosa Bell's engagement with young Toniliuson became public, and people con gratulated him on nie enterprising son-in law, he smiled quietly. When Arthur came home from college loaded with honors, he blushed with pride; and when Kathie re ceived her diploma, and was pronounced ca pable of taking a high rank as public school teacher, he hugged himself with great satis faction. Though always thoughtful and consider ate of his young wife, he was never known to acknowledge her superiority by word of mouth. Manlike, he refused to give her her due. and the only praise she ever re celved for her trial and care was from the Hps of her son Arthur the day he was ad mitted to the bnr. "1 tell you, Tomlinson," he said to that in terested brother-in-law. "all I am X owe to my plucky little step-mother. My father probably meant well, but I should never have reached the place I occupy today if he had not met bis match." WIT AND WISDOM. A pleasant programme Mother—Mercy me, clilld!

The New York Morning News says: Mr. Brent Good, of No. 57 Murray street. Is man ager of tbe Carter Medicine Company, a cor poration formed under tbe general law of the State of New York. The company owns a trade mark which is affixed to a valuable manufacture known as "Carter's Little Liv er Pills." This trade mark was originally adopted in 1874 by Dr. Carter, a well known physician in his day. Wishing to retire from business, Dr. Carter sold the trade mark and good will and full right to manu facture his specialty to persons who in 188C sold out their Interest in tbe concern to tbe corporation known as the "Carter Medicine Company." Over $1,000,000 have been spent by the present concern in advertising tbeii business. About three months ago Manager Brent Qood was Informed that Luzen J. Finch, ol Gold street, was manufacturing pills in enormous quantities and putting them up in a style similar to that of the genuine pills ol the Carter*Medicine Company—that be bad in fact made a pill identical In appearance tc the "Carter Little Liver Pill," packed In e similar bottle to that employed by the com pany, and wrapped un in a label which was nothing more or less than an Impudent iml tat ion of tbe genuine one. "I furthermore learned," explained Mr Good, "that hundreds of druggists were be lng supplied by Finch with bogus Little Liv er Pills, and that the fraud was becoming more general from the fact that the falst manufactuter was in the habit of inserting it the label or wrapper the name of any retail er who might desire it to be done, and whiit the spurious article was being sold at tec cents a bottle, tbe genuine one cost twenty five cents. Of course these retailers werrime. Bret Harte, with bis fresh stronj yrics, and Joaquin Miller, crowned with thi praise of London critics, seemed to have pre empted whatever field there might be foi new singers. There was no room for an other bard, except where room always is, al the top. The unknown youth, with no ere dentials but his talents, came into a comrau nity which did not theu discriminate toe kindly in favor of a political convict whose politics were of the Fenian persuasion. Yel he took almost at once the place that was hi! by right of genius, in a literary circle which is always jealous, but never narrow, in defin ing its boundaries. Mr. O'Beilly'» work is known to all read ers. He prefers to be known by it ami through it. Otherwise one might be tempted to write Indefinitely of his personal charac ter, bis unbounded popularity with all cias ses. his catholic sympathy with the oppressed and suffering of every class, creed and color his healthy îobustness, mental and physical But all the-e are patent in his writings. which rellect the man as in the mirror. In the scant leisure of au active journalist'» busy life, supplemented by unceasing and earnest labors in the cause of Irish national Ity. he has found time to write half a dozer or more books, including his "Songs of the Southern Seas," published in 1873; "Songs, Legends and Ballads" in 1878; "Moondyne, a novel, in 1879 "Statues in the Block, and Other Poems," In 1881; "In Bohemia," in 1886 "Stories and Sketches," in 1888 and one or two volumes as yet unpublished. Mr. O'Reilly will lecture in aid of St. Jos eph's Home, I)eering, at City Hall tomorrow evening. Reserved seats can be secured at Stockbridge's during today. Young Men's Christian Association Course. The fifth entertainment in this course to be given next Friday evening in City Hall will be one of the best of the season. Cor poral James Tanner, the eloquent soldiez orator will give bis celebrated lecture "Sol dier's Life—Grave and Gay." The Corporal participated in the Peninsular campaign, and the battles of Williamsburg, Fair Oaks, the siege of Yorktown, the seven days fight before Richmond, at Malvern Hill, Warren ton, Bristow Station, and Manassas Junc tion, serving with bis regiment the 87th New York Volunteers, In all engagements, until wounded at the second battle of Bull Run. In that fight he was struck by a piece of a bursting shell completely severing the right leg at the ankle and injuring the other leg so that amputation was necessary. He was carried to a farm bouse and fell Into the ene my's hands. After a long struggle fer life he recovered. His descriptions of army life are vivid and full of adventure, wit hu mor and pathos. As a story teller he is un rivalled. The old soldiers will gladly wel come blm and all who hear him will be de lighted. Cospel Mission. For some weeks Rev. S. F. Pearson has been endeavoring to establish a regular Sat urday evening meeting of such a character as would have the power to attract the young especially, from places where tue best in fluences are not always found.
