December is as pleasant as May—even more so sometime.

What's so rare as a day in June when you have to wear an overcoat.

If th© managers of the Cleveland movement had to take him off the back Bhelf three months after he was placed there to brush the dust off of him how thick will be the dust by 1892 unless he is disturbed every three months?

There is no likelihood of serious trouble over the Behring Sea rights. We are merely claiming our own, just as we asserted *ahta in the difficulty and, as in that dispute, we will secure all we rightly demand when those 4 who are resisting the demand become convinced that we are in earnest.

Indianapolis was greatly excited the other night. "A drov^of dudes" took a shutter off the house of the village postmaster. The worthy official called out the police but the "drove of dudes" (as the News calls them) plead that they were good friends of his and he relented from prosecuting them. In due time the town returned to ita slumbers.

The story of disaster that comes this morning is not wholly unexpected, horrible as it is. Like begets like and so the remarkable winter and spring bring most unusual weather at the threshold of summer. The Pennsylvania calamity, from accounts received at this writing, is far beyond any disaster in the loss of life that has ever occurred in this country.

The oil excursion will be a bigger event in Terre Haute than the Cleveland excursion. Boom the excursion and boom it with a clear conscience that it is not a selfish enterprise but an occasion to do a good turn for all our friends in the valley as well as for ourselves. Whatever may be the advantage of the people in the Wabash valley is to our advantage and whatever may be of benefit to Terre Haute the people of Terre Haute will make it of benefit to the. people in the valley.

Beverly Tucker's friends—and he himself—defend him from the charge that be was associated with Jake Thompson who during the rebellion was in Canada engaged in all manner of plots against the union, many of which were wholly outside the recognition given to modes of honorable warfare. We see this defense elaborated in the same newspapers that defended the action of Lamar, when secretary of the interior, in lowering the flag over the interior department on the occasion of Thompson's death.

THE WORLD OF TRADE AND LABOR.

NEW YORK, May 31.—R. G. Dan Co.'a weekly review of trade says: the whole, crop prospects continues ucusually good, and the markets are rapidly adjusting themselves to the assurance of ample supplies. Business at all points reporting continues luge in volume, and the clearings through banks show an increase of abont twelve per cent, over last year, outside of New York. The increase over last year in exports from New York, and imports at New York has been about seven per cent, for each, which indicates an excess of imports over exports for May of about fourteen million dollars, and the specie movement thus far has not nearly settled the balance thus arising. Light exports are to be expected for the next month, so that a considerable outgo of gold would br natural, even if there should be no with drawal of capital on accoont of securities sold. There is no apprehension of early disturbance in the money market, but the bank surplus, if materially weakened during the next six weeks by gold exports, may not be strong enough to prevent serious pressure in the fall. Money at interior points is almost everywhere in ample supply, Cleveland being the only-exception. The speculative markets have been comparatively tame, though corn has declined ljsjf cents, oats cent, coffee cent, while wheat, oil and pork products are each a trifle stronger. No change is seen in cotton. The general average of prices has decilned only a fifth of one per cent, for the week. About ten per cent, more than last year's prices is asked for Michigan wool. The decision in the worsted question is regarded by many as insuring a more active demand for wool Pittsburg reports a very dull market for pig iron, with lower prices for some brands, and a fair demand for manufactured iron and steel at former prices. The impression prevails at Philadelphia that bottom prices have been raaohed, and steel rail producers are encouraged by sales of eighty thousand tons or more during the week, to believe that the turning point has been reached. In other branches of business, the outlook is encouraging. There are signs of an immense production of butter and cheese, with a full demand. The production of boots and shoes is increasing, and orders received are large. Scarcely any profit is realized in the production of leather, but the visible supply iB believed to be steadily diminishing, and hides are abundant and cheap.

The business failures number 215, as compared with 229 last week, and 252 the week previous. For the corresponding week of last year, the figures were 205. ,-'v.

CHICAGO, 111., May 31— In accordance with previous announcement, official quotations of the board of trade will be cut off to-morrow from about five hundred correspondents who are non-members of the board. Arrangements have been made in most instances by commission merchants to keep their customers informed of market changes and an increased force of telegraph operators will be put on the floor to handle the business. Employes of the Gold & Stock telegraph company were sent out this afternoon to remove all the tickers from the offices of persons and corporations not members of the board.

Wheeling tinners demand nine hours. Pittsburg stonemasons get 40 cents an hour.

Topeka plumbers demand nine houfrs with ten hours'pay.. A violin factory will Boon be in opera tion at Valparaiso, lnd.

Omaha stonemasons have accepted 45 cents an hour for the season. London oar drivers get 17 a week. They work fourteen hours a day.

Salem (Mass.) street car men will receive $2 per day for ten hours' work. The World's labor congress will open at Paris July 14, the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile.

The Chicago trades assembly and Central labor union.have joined hands for a great demonstration on July 4.

New York plumbers .will not admit a man to the union who is not a eitizen. Foreigners must have their first papers.

The Silk-Workers' assembly, K. of L, New York, has voted to leave the knights and join the American federation of labor.

For the first time in the fifteen years' experience of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers there will be no conference this year with manufacturers on the annual wage Bcale. The manufacturers' association disbanded last year, and in reply to a notice from President Weihe, of the Amalgamated association, announcing that the workers would be ready to confer with the manufacturers in regard to the scale, the former secretary of the Manufacturers' association, Joseph D. Weeks, replied that there was no way by which they could get a committee together. There will, therefore, be no conference with the iron masters this year, and the workmen in each mill will present the scale next week to the different firms.

From Bradstreet'e: Efforts to obtain (all roportsTrom-Eoglish trades unions regarding their membership arid income have not proved very successful Of 232 registered in England, only 159 have given the information requested. The figures given are as a result not indicative of the real proportion of the men engaged in mechanical employments who are members of unions. The 159 unions reported give their total membership as 335.040. Their total income is placed at £680,142. The largest body of unionists reported appears to be the miners, who have a total membership of nearly 67,000, or about one-fifth of the whole number. There are 51,869 engineers, 41,379 building hands, 31,073 boilermakers and shipbuilders, and 17,642 laborers. With the addition of two other specified employments, viz., iron and steel makers and railway servants, there is a total given of nearly 239,000 men employed in seven employments, or about 71 per cent, of the total given. Of twenty-three Scottish societies registered, eighteen report a total membership of 17,423, while of thirty-three Irish societies registered, twenty-six report a total membership of 3,953. The total number of trades unions registered in Great Britain is 288. Of these 203 report a total membership of 356,416, with total yearly income of £722,812, or over £2 income per member per annum.

In Defense of Mrs. Maybrick. 'NEW YORK, May 31.—The Tribune's

Norfolk (Va.) special says: "Mrs. James Maybrick, who is now under arrest in London,charged with poisoning her husband, lived here in 1886. Some of her friends have interested themselves in her behalf, and the result is that N. M. Bateson, who lived here in 1886, and was an intimate friend of Mr. Maybrick, and his room-mate for several months, left

New York tor London about the middle of last week, prepared to swear that Mr. Maybrick was in the habit of taking arsenic, and that the latter was often told of its fatal effects. Mr. Batsaon is a London ootton buyer, and since 1886 has made Memphis, Tenn., his home."

A CLASS-DAY BIOT*

Interesting and Canmal bwctaM at Geneva Collect, Pa.

PrrrsBtJBG, May 3L—A special frooa Beaver Falls, Pa., says: The closing of the commencement exercises at Geneva college, that staunch Covenanter institution at this place, took plaoi to-day, and was not characterized with the harmony, good will, eta, usual on such occasions. The proceedings were very stormy this morning, and in fact at one time almost partook of the nature of a riot. For a long time trouble has been brewing between the faculty and Btudents. The whole season just closed has been a series of criminations and recriminations, petty tricks, suspensions, etc., between faculty, janitor and students. Yssterday, clasaday, the bad blood began to creep out when Will McAllister, son of the Kev. David McAllister, of Pittsburg, whose assignment upon the programme was that of "artist," displayed to the delight of the students a series of life-sized caricatures of the faculty, and in a more forcible than polite way touched upon their different characteristics in sarcastic terms.

This morning Dr. H. E George, the president, informed young McAllister that neither he nor his sister, Miss Veds, eould graduate. The announcement fell like a thunderbolt upon the astonished student. All went well, however, until it came Will McAllister's time to deliver his oration. Of course, he was absent, but the students in the gallery and auditorium set up a yell of "McAllister I"

A scene of the greatest confusion followed. Dr. George sprang to his feet and demanded order, but his voice was drowned in the calls for McAllister, cat nalld nnifl hlflfiflfl "Clear the gallery," cried Dr. George to the janitor. "Send him up here and we will throw him over the gallery," yelled the stu dents. "Send for the police," said Dr. George, but his voice could hardly be heard.

Finally quiet was restored and the exercises proceeded without further interruption. To the Rev. Dr. McAllister Dr. George stated that he would not allow his (McAllister) children to graduate because they had not paid for their diplomas. The whole affair Will be brought. before the next meeting of .the synod and ventilated.

Cockerill, of the World, and twenty members of the literary and artistic staff of Judge.

Walt Whitman's Seventieth Birthday CAMDEN, N. J., May 31.—In a humble

cottage in this city, plain almost to severity in its appearance and oontents, Walt Whitman, the good, gray poet, is to-day receiving the congratulations of his friends upon the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of hiB birth. His health of late has been very poor, and as a result he has been almost a prisoner to his house. This afternoon, however, he will muster enough strength to drive to Morgan's hall, where a dinner, with covers laid for 200, will be given in hiB honor. He received this morning a large number of congratulations by mail and wire.

After bis departure the petition for anew .trial in his case and that of Ed McDonald were denied. Mc Donald's case went before the supreme court, and the decision of the lewer court was reversed.

The action before Judge Shepard this morning wss simply the granting of a new and immediate trial to MoGarigle, and the imposing of a fine on his plea of guilty. mcfinWe mads hl« escape artfully. 8hetlff Mataon hadtakenhimtehis home to permit a rianfi of clothing.

At the same time the state's attorney dismissed the case against Ed McDonald, engineer of the asylum, who ww convictld for being oonoerned in the crookedness with McGarigle. The state's attorney said that', as the supreme court had granted McDonald anew trial, that as he was convinced that he oould not be again convicted and that, as he had been confined in the oounty jail for a year and a half, the state was willing to drop further proceedings. The orders were made, the fine and costs paid and McGarigle and McDonald were free men once more.

HIS SKULL WAS TOO THIN.

Francis Raflforty, a Laborer, Hain't Inongh to Keep Bis Brains Warm. NEW YORK, May 3L—Prancis Rsfferty,

the laborer who was killed by Charles S. Partridge, the lumber merchant, on Wednesday, had a very thin skull. This was the principle reason why the blow dealt by the lumber dealer with a hickory board rule proved fatal so quickly. Coroner Hanley, accompanied by Deputy Coroner Donlin and Dr. Frank Ferguson, the expert pathologists, who made the autopsy on Mind-Reader Bishop's body at the New York hospital jreeterday afternoon, also made an examination of Rat ferty.

Dr. Ferguson wielded the knife, and the two doctors were surprised to find that Rafferty's skull was the thinnest one they had ever seen. In some places it was no thicker than heavy paper. Parts that in ordinary adult skulls are one-eighth of an inch thick, in Rafferty's had a thickness of barely one thirty-sec-ond of an inch.
