GOT OFF EASY.

Lieutenant Welsh, Who Slapped the Face of His Conimaiuling Oflicer. CHICAUO, KOV. 29.—President Cleve

land has approved, and the war department issued an offioial order carrying into effect the finding of the army boar-:! in the case of First Lieutenant B. C. Welsh of the Fifteenth infantry, U. S. A., who is ordered to be placed on the retired list on three-quarters pay on account of physical disability. According to the report of the retiring board convened to consider the action of Lieutenant Welsh in slapping the face of Colonel Crofton, his commanding officer, during the field maneuvers at Evanston, Lieutenant Welsh was pronounced to be sane, but found to be suffering witli a severe nervous affection, which, under any undue excitement would, in the opinion of the board, absolutely prevent his commanding troops successfully. H« will engage in business, probably in Chicago.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

One to Mark His Birthplace Is Soon to lie Eracted. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Some years

ago congress delegated to the secretary of state the duty of selecting the most appropriate means of marking Washington's birthplace at Wakefield, Va., 75 miles below this city, on the Potomac river, and $11,000 was appropriated for this purpose.

The monument has been delayed, owing to the absence of facilities for the transportation of materials, but the completion of a wharf by the government nearer the site supplies this want, and proposals will be opened on Dec. 15.

Secretary Gresham has decided that a shaft of American granite high enough to be plainly visible from passing vessels, a distance of five miles, would be the most suitable structure, but its exact design and inscriptions have not yet been determined on.

MOSQUITO TALK.

North Atlantic Squadron May Be Sent to Central American Waters. NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—At the office of

the Nicaraguaa consulate it was said that nothing had been received relative to the report that Great Britaia had refused to recognize the sovereignty of Nicaragua over the Mosquito territory. Consul JDormitza ia ill at his home, but his secretary said it was the opinion of Nloaraguans in thia city that the rumor that the United States will send the North Atlantic squadron to Central American waters as a oheok to Great Britain was true.

Refineries in the Principal Cities Shut Down.

50,000 MEN ARE AFFECTED.

President llaveineyer Explains by Saying the Last Congress Is Responsible F«r the Present Situation—Also

Ssyo

the

Fear of Free Sugar and the Recent Election Assisted in the Kesult. NEW YORK, NOV. 29.—Orders wore

issued Wednesday from the headquarters of the American sugar refinery in Wall street to shut down completely all the refineries of the company in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Fifty thousand operatives will be affected by the closing of the sugar works.

President H. O. Havemeyer of the American Sugar Refiniug company Haul Wednesday morning: "The sugar business has been bad for some months past. We have been hoping against hope all along and tried to weather through the period ol' depression, trusting that business might improve and that we would soon be able to run our works to their fullest capacity, but everything was against us. "The reaction that followed the passage of the tariff bill brought about a dull season, and the war among the wholesale grocer* in several soctions of the country still further tended fro demoralize trade. When to this was added the excitement of an eleotion canvass and the general report that congress would pass a free sugar bill, making all sugar* free, you oan readily see that there was enough cause to compel us to shut down completely. "But we rau our works up to the present time with a reduced force in the hope, Mioawber-like, tiiui, ssu:.v.--tiling would turn up. Our faith in the future has failed us, and, beginning tomorrow we shall shut down all our works in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. This will affect 60,000 operatives. "We can not do anything. We are sorry for our men, and have been trying to ward it off all along. But, the truth is, we have been running our works at a loss for several months past, and it's time to call quit* mow. "The last compress is responsible for the present situation, and if they pass the free sugar bitl at Washington, as it is reported that they will, they will kill the sugar industry completely. Things could not be much worse than they are now. There is very little difference be tween the prices of raw and refined sugar, and there is no reason or justice in continuing a business at a heavy loss. "Wt must either have enough profit to cover the bald expenses of carrying on sugar refining or else go out of the business completely. We can not compete with the wages paid in Europe and our men can not begin to support themselves and their families at such figures. And yet we are asked to run our establishments with only the margin in refining that is to be found between the cost of raw and refined sugars, which is now a trifle less than half a cent per pound. "No, the only thing for us to do is to sliut down completely until there is a market for our goods and until we can see our way to pay expenses. And I can see nothing ohoering or reassuring in the outlook at the present moment.

Thanksgiving Services at 31. E. Church.

The regular annual union Thanksgiving services were unusually entertaining this year. They were held with Pastor Thomas Stabler at the M. E. church. The exercises opened with a song by the choir atid prayer by Rey. J. L. Barclay of the M. P. church. The regular Thanksgiving collection for the poor was then taken and generously cared for. Mrs. Homer Bragg in a touching and artistic manner then rendered a beautiful solo, "Nearer My God to Thee." Elder B. F. Dailey of the Christian Church read the Scnpture lesson in an impressive manner. The sermon was by Rev. E. W. Sowders of the Presbyterian church, the text be ing from the 8th chapter of Deuteronomy 1st 17th verses inclusive and he portray ed the wonderful progress, prosperity and happiness of the people who should ob^t rve all the Commandments of the Lord. It was an able, eloquent sermon and highly appreciated by the large aud'ence present. The closing prayer waJlby the pastor of the Friends church Mrs. Hannah Pratt Jessup and it also has bee' highl3r commended. The exercises closed by the choir and congregation singing that giorious and patriotic song, "America," after which the benediction was pronounced. It was a most excellent and 'olessed service.

The ^Cosmopolitan Club's Special Meeting. Li,st

evening the Cosmopolitan Club

and a few invited guests met with Mrs. Frauk S. Hatnmel for the purpose of hearing the principles and policies of the various political parties explained. Mr. R. A. Black in a clear, pleasant and succienct manner brought out the principles advanced and advocated by the Republican party. Rev. B. F. Dailey then did likewise for the Prohibition party. The REPUBLICAN has heard the speeches of both gentlemen most highly commended as each showed a thorough understanding of the principles of his particular party and were able to give cogent reasons for the faith that was in them. For some reason Noble Warrum, Sr., who was to have represented the Populist party and John L. McNew the Democrat party failed to appear. This is only the first of a series of parlor lectures which thifeflub intend to give. The next will be on the first Wednesday evening January next. Among those who will talk during the course are Hon. Wm. R. Hout hand Mrs. Dr. C. Brijner.

THE THESPIAN.

Richard Mansfield has engaged Jane Stuart for his company. Stuart Robson's new play is called ''The Interloper or, The Feet of Venus."

Miss Julie Mackey is one of the highest salaried lights in the vaudeville profession. Soon after Christmas W. A. Brady will produce anew melodrama called "A Bowery Girl."

Robert Mantell is rehearsing a new romantic drama, which he is to produce at an early date. "The End of the Workl," a melodrama backed by western capitalists, has been withdrawn from the road.

The opera "Frode," by the Danish composor, Beechgard, has recently been performed with success at the German theater at Prague.

Queen Victoria has presented a souvenir to Mr. Becrlmhin Tree aiul each of the members of his company, who played at Balmoral recently. "My Lady Reckless," a play which Arthur Forrest, purchased in Paris, lias been I sold to Kate Claxton. When it is produced, Janauschek will be in the cast.

Englebert Humperdinck, the creator of "Hansel und Gretel," will shortly set to music another fairy story, which his sister, Adelheid Witte, dramatized for the purpose.

A comedy drama with startling effects, entitled "'The Maid of the Mill," will bo used by Edward Bloom as a vehicle to star Lillian Madison. The actress is versatile, for she can act, sing, dance and play the banjo.

Nelson Whcatcroft and ITcnry Herman, the two young but silver haired actors who play villains, are warm friends. They make a living through wickedness, craft and subterfuge, yet they are accounted honorable men.

THE CHIC GIRL.

Black velvet collars, with ermine edging, are popular. Alsatian bow effects in short plumes are among the novelty hat trimmings.

Little pompon trimmings standing upright over the forehead are much liked for stylish young women.

A sealskin cape made in full ruffle fashion, with a longer cape of ermine, is now and stylish and expensive as well.

A genuine old fashioned pokebonnet has a trimming of loops of ribbon at the 6ide, with plumes standing high up over the crown. It is tied under the chin with wide ribbons.

An exceedingly stylish hat is mado of satin brocaded with velvet. It is in leaf brown shades and is trimmed with jot, plumes and a dash of cardinal such as one sees in autumn foliage.

Among the new furs is what is called electric seal. The name is to an extent misleading, as the fur is merely a sheared coney, and while rather protty looking at first does not wear in a satisfactory manner.

The disgusting lump that has for so long protruded from the knot of hair at tho back of tho head has fallen, let us hope, into oblivion. In its place wo have soft loops and coils, the figure 8, a modified Psycho knot and a butterfly arrangement just over tho crown of tho head.— New York Lodger.

Bees servo as active agents in the fertilization of plants and are not destructive in the smallest degree.

Hives should have on an averago HO pounds of good honey or sugar sirup in store to begin the winter.

Bees can be wintered in a cellar, provided the cellar is not too damp and care is taken to have a moderately cool, even temperature.

Unless care is taken to put tho bees away in good condition in tho fall it will bo useless to expect to find them strong and vigorous in tho spring.

One decided advantage in wintering tho bees in a good cellar is tiiat they can bo kept on about half the stores that would bo needed if left unprotected on the summer stands.

As tho proper food and temperature can best be secured in a full colony, the beiqueens can usually be reared in strong colonies, or at least kept in such colonies until the cells are capped.

When feed is supplied to them ,in good season, the 'ees will arrange themselves as cold weather comes on so as to bo closr to their supplies and use them as they may need without leaving the warmth of the cluster.

THE JEWELER.

.•

Brooohes in the shape of a flower-do-1 uce are always fashionable. A pretty ornament for tho hair is a bird in varicolored stones, with displayed wings, holding in its beak a diamond cornstalk or a small feather.

Ladies' rings are adorned with a flower-de-luce, each petal of which consists of a pear shaped diamond, excepting the top one, which is a turquoise or an opal.

Fashionable gentlemen's rings aro of dull pale gold, very massive and adorned with a largo ruby, emerald or sapphire in cabocbon, flankod with two diamonds.

Wo seo in some of the best jewelry stores brooches, rings, earrings, studs, bracelets, buckles, umbrella tops, etc., exhibiting opal., circled with minuscule diamonds.

A pretty watch to wear hanging on the corsage consists of a lizard graceful' curled and formed of emeralds. It hohm in its mouth a diamond shell adorned with concentric rippling lines of rubies. In tho center of this shell a tiny watch is half buried.—Jewelers' Circular.

THE CYNIC.

Gossip is generally a desire to got evon. It is a rare man who can do a favor delicately.

Everything a man likes to do a woman oan prove is wicked. Tho people pay more for love than for any other necessary evil on earth.
