DISCIPLES OF HENRY GEORGE

Believers in the Theories of the Famous Reformer Try to Organize a Club. His Followers in Indianapolis Estimated at One Ilnrdred Jodffe Znllars Thinks There Should Be & Sew Sjstem of Land Holding. The local followers of Henry George were fnodest in announcing their purpose to organize club last nigbt, and consequently only a half gczen attended a meeting in Judge Howe's eourt-room. Gilbert Seibert, L. P. Caster, Charles" K. Kraus, E. T. Hudson,' Thomas MeGinty and L J. Wallace were the six. While waiting in the lower corridor of the court-house for this grouo to increase, one or two of the cumber explained, that Wednesday evening is not a suitable time for sncb a meeting as the mechanics and workingmen interested in the theories of : the author of "Progress and Poverty" do cot leave their work until late, and it Ceing Thanksgiving eve no doubt marketing had I to be Icoked after by many for to-day's feasting. Tue disagreeable night, too, in part, accounted . for the meagre attendance. "We onght to have more here," said Charles H. Kraus, a young book-keeper. "I sent out forty -eieht postal cards to those who signed the eall for this meeting. But we can do something ' anyhow in starting the movement." . "How many Henry George men in Indianapolis?" a reporter asked. "At least 100." replied Mr. Custer. "You will find that there are five times that many," said Mr. Hudson. ' ' "I said at least 100." continued Mr. Custer. 'Of coarse the number is greater than that, for I know of 175 subscribers in the city to Henry George's paper. The believers in his theories are the people who do not have time to talk much publicly about them. They read and think a great deal, and their leisure is mostly used in that way. It is among the small business man and skilled mechanics the greater part of his followers will be found. George clubs re not made up like trades unions and Knights of Labor assemblies. In those everybody can be found, for the principles upon which they are organized are simple. A reader of Henry George's paper and books must have time to tudy then. and the workingmen, take them as they come, cannot find this leisure. Bnt the majority of trades-unionists and Knights of Labor would accopt his teacbinga if there was anyone to instruct them. That is the purpose of the clubs. It will not be Ion?. I think, before it can be ascertained that in Indianapolis the George dectrines are held by a large number of people who hold high pos itions in business and society. 4I have heard it said," remarked Mr. Seibert, "that one of the judges in this county is a believer in Henry George's teachings. I know he lias been reading his books attentively, and from expressions he has made it is inferred that they Lave made a strone impression on his mind." Among those named as being stancn George men are Clemens Vonoegut and bis sons, J. C. Ilirschman, Alex. Schmidt. Wm. Snielboff, Joseph Davis, B. A. Lingenfelter, R. H. Wilson, X J- Wallace and T. C. Gurley. An incident of this desultorv tain was the readme of a letter from Judge Zollars. In the latter's address to the recent Baptist congress the correctness of his explanation of the George theories was questioned by Mr. Custer, who wrote to the Judge reqnrstingr a copy of the address. The Judge's rrplr. while not committing, himself to an acceptance of the new land doctrine, said something ought to ba done to correct the irregularities now existing. Land, be thought, should be held by small holders. It was get.ting near 9 o'clock, and someone suggested that they separate with the under- ' standing that they should meet again next week. Others demurred to this because they thought six as well as a dozen could organize, ; and the movement would be in shape to receive. re3ruits a week earlier. It would help the work materially in securing new members to ; show ibat the organization was a fact. All consented to go up-stairs to the court-room and effect a temporary organization at least. T. , Hadion became the chairman, and Charles H. Kraus the secretary. Mr. Custer said it would be better to defer action until a larger meeting -could be held. Mr. Seibert, however, favored organizing the club with the few present. There must be some foundation to work on. and whether it was small or great the movement . Was bonnd to grow. Mr. Kraus said he had tried to increase the 'local interest in Henry George's doctrines by ' writing cards to the News, but he failed, because the editor of that paper would not publish them. "He bluffed me off every time,"' the epe&ker continued, "instead of giving a square yes or no to my request to have the cards published." The permanent organization was effected by electing the following: Prosident Gilbert Seibert. Vice-president Li. P. Custer. Recording and Corresponding Secretary Charles l. Kraus. Treasurer T. Hudson. Mr. Custer suggested the advisability of taking the line followed by the New York club in organizing an anti-poverty society. He wanted Sunday night meetings and addresses by ministers to give a religious tone to the movement. Mr. Seibert regarded tnis as premature, as the principal work before them would be to increase the membership of the club. It would, no doubt, be the ultimate result to hold these anti-poverty meetings, but they are expensive and the club must first find the means with which to sustain them. Iiv. Hngh O. Pentecost, he said, would he here some time in January, and that would be a good time to inaugurate the anti-poverty society. The club will bold another meeting in Judge Howe's court-room next Tuesday evening. FOE TUE BENEFIT OF THE POOR. Two Successful Entertainments That Were Given by lonngr Ladies Last EYening. A very pleasant entitainment was given last evening by the young ladies of the Indianapolis Institute for the benefit of the proposed Episcopal Orphanage. Recitations were given by Misses Daisy Lemon and Carrie Fleming. "Mrs. Jarley's Wax-works" was presented by Misses Pearl Smock, Bessie Lyon, Angie Thayer, Daisy Lyon.

Mamie and Lida Bell. Bertha and Freda Christman. There were also fancy articles for sale in one of the rooms, and a sideshow in which Mr. Ralph Perry worked a "Town Pump" for the edification of the' audience. The attendance was very large, and u- nice sum was realized for the orphanage. The ladies of St. Vincent De Paul Society of St. John's Church gave a social last evening in the library rooKS of St' John's Church for the benefit of the pd. At 6 o'clock an elegant supper was served to several hundred persons, and afterward those p:esent were entertained with recitations and music. Those who recited , were Misses Katie Moore. Clara Bretz, Anna Abromet, and Mr P. J Kelleher. Miss Maggie McKeever Fang "Homeless To-night," and Mi3 Anna Abromet rendered "The Lover and His Bird." Miss Maegie Anderson closed the programme with some excellent instrumental music.

There was a large assembly of invited guests, quite a number being present from other places. SENTENCES SHOULD NOT BE SHORT. Female Reformatory Managers Say Women can't Be Reformed in a Year or Two. The managers of the Female Reformatory filed their sixteenth annual report with Governor Gray yesterday. They are fully satisfied with the conduct of the institution, and are "gratified to be able to state that the management has always been humane, judicious and economical." In the penal department there are fifty-two convicts. Thirty-one have been received during the year; twenty-nine have been discharged on expiration of their terms; one has been granted ticket-of leave; three have died. The management regret that short terms have been given to so many of the prisoners sent there. They say: "It is a mistaken sense of justice or mercy on the part of the judges pronouncing these sentences to send criminals to a reformatory prison for a short term, as the possibility of reformation in one or two years, after twenty or thirty of iniquitous living or association, is almost hopeless. " Of the thirty one received seventeen were sentenced for one year, one for eighteen months, seven for two years, three for three years, two for four years, and one for life. In the reformatory department there are one hundred and twenty girls. Thirty-one have been received during the year on new commitments, and twelve returned from ticKet-of-leave. Twenty-five have been discharged on becoming of age; twenty-three released on ticket-of-leave; three sent to the Home for Feeble-minded Children. The schools in this department were open for seven months. In the penal department the prisoners were taught two evenings each week in the rudimentary branches. Health has been good. Only three have died, all in the prison department. One of these was eighty years of age, and her death is attributed to "general debility." Another died of "heart disease,3 and the third of "syphilitic phtliisis." The work of the institution has been kept up to the highest standarti. The receipts from this source during the year were $3,870.58, an excess

o $1,014.33 over last year. The expenditures for material amounted to $1,201 01. The expenditures for the year were: For permanent improvements and repairs. $3,501.24; for support and salaries, $28,400.49. The amount collected from the various counties was $13.391 04, and this, with the net earnings, $2,579.57, subtracted from the expenditures outside of permanent improvements, leaves $1U,519.S3 as a general charge on the State treasury. Of course, the amount collected from the counties is a charge . on the people of the State as much as that derived from the treasury from other funds. The managers think they need a hospital, a chapel, and a high brick wall around the grounds. Thev estimate that the hospital would cost $5,000 to $b00. The superintendent's report is attached to that of the managers. She wishes it were better understood by the world at large that tho penal and reformatory departmentr aro totally distinct, and that there is no intercourse permitted between the inmates of the two. Effort is made to furnish suitable entertainment and sport for the reformatory girls, as well as instruction and work. There have been no escapes during the year, and only three attempts to leave without permission. The total expenses were $29,091.73. DAMAGING TO THEIR BUSINESS. Why Merchants and Property-Owners Demand the Removal of the Transfer Car. ' The complaint of James M. Bradshaw against the Citizens' Street-railway Company, charging that the transfer car at the corner of Illinois and Washington streets is a nuisance, and detrimental to business in the locality, is being heard by a jury in the Criminal Court. The obiect in filing the complaint against the company is to have the transfer car removed. The businessmen of the neighborhood in which it is located claim that the street about the car is continually kept in a filthy condition, greatly to the damage of their property and trade. The case is being prosecuted by Major Mitchell and W. A. Van Buren. Tho principal witnesses for the State were James M. Bradshaw, L. S. Ayers, Charles Mayer, jr., and Marcy, the jeweler. Several firemen testified that the car would be an impediment in case of a fire in that immediate neighborhood. There was considerable other evidence showing the dimensions of the car, and how it was supported in its position. H. C- Allen, attorney for the company, outlined their defense by saying that as a corporation organized under the State laws, the Streetcar Company had been given the right of way to the streets of Indianapolis. The statutes, he claimed, did not state where or how cars should be operated on a track, but simply defined that a company securing the right to lay tracks should also have the right to lay tracks and operate their cars for the best convenience of the public The transfer car, he claimed, was placed in its present position at the request of the City Council and the people. The latter demanded that a transfer system should be established, which the Council ordered, and the only way the company could comply with the demand of the people was by establishing the transfer car at the point where fifteen different lines pass. Some evidence was submitted showing that the streets near the car were not kept in a filthy condition, and some to the effect that the car was an advantage to men doing business in the immediate neighborhood by attracting large crowds of people. The city clerk submitted the Council's action with reference to granting the company the charter and ordering the establishment of the transfer system. HEAVY SHIPMENTS OP HOGS. The November Receipts at the Stockyards This Year Larger Than Ever Before. There is a decided improvement in the hog business at the stockyards. When tho total footings of receipts are made at the end of the season they will be larger than any since the yards were established. While the hogs are not heavy, they find a ready market. There is a ,slight advance for fat hogs, but the light ones command a good price. 4 'Up to this time of the months," said Mr. Ernst, "we have received 42.000 more hogs than for a corresponding three weeks in last November. One-half the hogs received are packed here, the rest are shipped East Heretofore we sent the hogs to Louisville, but our shipments to that city are quite heavy. We are getting stock that formerly went there and to Cincinnati. Our receipts are even from day to day when not long ago we could count on only two good days in the week. On Tuesday we expected but fifty car-load3 of hogs. One hundred and fifty came in, and the same number was received yesterday. Every farmer who brings in a bunch says it'is the last in his section, but let the price advance a little and the same men have hundreds and hundreds of hogs to selL" Our druggists keep for sals Hall't.

The inquiry into the alleged irregularity of the county grand jury has not closed yet, but no new evidence has been developed.

The Sentinel, intimates that the investigation was instituted at the request of County Clerk Sullivan and that he demanded a vindication.

He ears that he kept bis company there during the week at bis own expense, and claims that by reason of the failure of the defendants to carry out thir part of the contract he wasdaijaaged to the amount of $1,250. He also asks hat the court allow him the $300 to have been aid for the show, making the total demand $1.5'i0. Aman'tmiint Matters.

HOW THE DINES DEAL STANDS. The Claims of the Indianapolis CInb Upon the Star Washington Player's Services. The talk about the Hines deal has moved President Brush to say emphatically that Hines will play in Indianapolis next year, if he plays anywhere. An effort was made to get Hines because he expressed a desire to play here, and said he was willing to come for $2,800. His transfer was secured by the payment of $3,000 anjl the exchange of Gardner to Washington. When Mr. Brush called on Hines in Washing ton, a few days ago, he said that be bad signed a paper expressing a preference to play in Pittsburg, but was willing to come to Indianapolis if this did not compromise him and if he could ret as conch money here as be bad been offered. President Young' a opinion about the matter was sought by Hines, who was promptly told that be was under no obligations to Pittsburg. Hines then showed a letter from Maoaeer Phillips, cf Pittebnr?. offering to pay bim $3. GOO for next seeson, $1,600 in advance and a two-thousand dollar contract The question as to how much , Indianapolis will pay him is now vt)nder consideration. However, under.the League '"rules he is bound to Indianapolis by the purchase of his release from Washington, and he will play here, if he plays at all next year. One objection that be offered to coming here was that be did not want to crowd Shomberg off of nrt base. Shomberg, however, before the close of the season voluntarily aked President Brush to allow him to play in the field next year, and Hines was informed of this. - Pitcher Shreve yesterday signed a contract to play with the Indianapolis club again next year. . PREPARING FOR THANKSGIVING. Grocers and Poultry Dealers Have a Bnsy Day Supplying Customers. Thanksgiving errands brought many people on the streets yesterday, notwithstanding it .was one of the worst possible days for pedestrians.Grocers and poultry dealers found a brisk demand for their stock, and in the evening there was hardly a man homeward bound who did not have a basket or an armful of packages to tell of the feasting of to-day. iBnsiness not directly connected with things belonging to table sunplies experienced that lull which always precedes a holiday. The hotels were thinned out. for travelers away from home had made haste to get there in time for the Thanksgiving dinner, and the lobbies had only a group or two of loungers and guests to give them any animation whatever. Along the streets, even, early in the evening, the pedestrians were few, for the weather kept everybody who had nothing to bring him out indoors. But church festivals, balls, and other entertainments bad the usual crowds of pleasure-seekers. They were many, for on the eve of a holiday these affairs seem to eo off with greater zest than on ordinary occasions. Some of the smaller and out-of-the-way saloons had tb-ir especial attractions in the way of turkey raffles, but those along Washington, Pennsylvania and Illinois streets seemed to have lost their holiday patronage. There was no unusual bustle in any of them. There was a Thanksgiving spirit abroad, though, which will show itself around thousands of happy home circles and about well-ladened tables to-day. How the Day Will Be Observed. Special services will be held this morning at many of the churches. Some of the Presbyterian congregations will unite in services at Tabernacle Church, where Rev. Ml L. Haines will preach. The Memorial Church will hold special services, with a sermon by the pastor, Rev. H. A. Edson, and so will the Olivet Church, under direction of the pastor, Rey. N. S. Dickey.

The congregations of Central-avenne and Seventh-street M. E. Churches and Third Christian Church will unite in services at Centralavenne Church, where Rev. D. R. Van Buskirk will preach. Services will be conducted at Hallplace M. E. Church by the pastor. The Protestant Episcopal congregations will hold a union service at Grace Church. Dr. Joseph S. Jenekes, of St. Pant's, will preach tbe sermon. At Central Christian Church there will be no service this morning, but this evening a special Thanksgiving prayer service will be held. At Northstreet Baptist Church Rev. R- E. Neighbor will conduct services. There will be special Thanksgiving services at the Jewish Temple, on East Market street, this morning. Rabbi Messing will deliver a sermon, and I. N. Heiins will make an address. There will be fewer entertainments than usual. To-night the members of fhe Twelfth Presbyterian Church will give a musical and .literary entertainment, and a social will be given at Rev. J. P. Cowan's Church, at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and East street, and a "yellow tea" at the Olive-street Chnrch. IndianapoiU lodee. No. 56. K. of P., will give a novel free entertainment at Castle Hall. Homer Duncan Cope, the eminent dramatic reader, will recite tbe play of "Damon and Pjthias.'' At each of tbe theaters performances will be given afternoon and evening.

DEER MOST ON TRIAL. A Jury Finally Secured and the Case Begun The Testimony for tbe Prosecution. New York, Nov. 23. The work of getting a jury to try Johann Most was continued this morning, and shortly after noon twelve men had been secured who were satisfactory to both sides. The jury was then sworn. Assistant District Attorney Nicoll opened the ease for the people. Tbe language that the prosecution will endeavor to prove Most as having used was this: "Every person concerned in the tragedy (the hanging of the Chicago Anarchists) from beginning to end, is marked for destruction. The revolution is at hand, a voice here cried: 'Why not begin to uighti'J; again I say, arm yourselves for the revolution. Our arm is the bomb stronger than tbe Gatling gun or other weapons. It kills fifty at once. Grinnell shall be the first; then comes Gary, the judtres of the Supreme Court of Illinois, tbe judges of the United States Supreme Court, and let not Oeles--by think he will escape because be commuted two of them." Mr. Nicoll told the jury that the clause of the penal coda under which the indictment was brought provided that any assembly of three or more persons, at which was threatened any unlawful act, was an unlawful assembly, and the participants guilty of misdemeanor. There would, doubtless, be a great deal said about the Constitution and free speech, bu the same Constitution provided that the abuse of free speech should be punished. Mr. Nicoll said his witnesses were detectives Sachs, Roth, and Samuel Dreyfus, a reporter for tbe City Press Association, all of whom understood German and had made notes of the meeting. Col. Fellows will sum up the ease for the prosecution. Detective Roth was the first witness ealledV He told how he and his brother officers were present at the meeting in disguise, and gave a detailed account of what was said and done. John J. Sachs, another detective, corroborated Roth in full. After the recess Mr. Howe began his crossexamination of detective Sachs. He questioned the witness very closely about the differences between bis testimony as given to-day and as given be fore the grand jnry. The witness said that his memory of the occurrences at the meeting was better to-day than it was when be testified before the grand jnry. Tha witness was asked to define tbe word Anarchist He could not do so, but Mr. Howe insisted and be said it was "a man who wanted to overthrow the government by foul means. " He said that Most began his speech in German, "Brother Anarchists." Mr. Howe had the witness repeat over in German and English, and the witness became very much confused. Most seemed delighted at the discom&tu.-e of the witness, to whose relief Mr. Nicoll tried to come by claiming that this had nothing to do with the charge against Most Mr. Howe persisted, however, and made the witness acknowledge that he was mistaken when be testified before the grand jury that Most beean bis speech by addressing his bearers as "Fellowslaves.'' Then be admitted that he did not know whether Most said "Fellow-slaves," or "Brother Anarchists." He was sadly mixed no and Most fairly squirmed in his chair with delight It took the witness fifteen minutes to sav that the meeting had been a peaeeabl one. When at last be had said so, Mr. Howe looked him from head to foot and said: "That's ail, my friend; that's alh" Solomon Dreyfus, a reporter for ths City Press Association, testified that Most had said that the poliee and members of the capitalistic press had sharp teeth, but that those teeth would be blunted. Mr. Dreyfus gave as correct a version as be could of the speech, and told how Most had threatened the Cnicago prosecntiog attorney, the jndges and Governor Ogles by, and bad predicted the coming of a revolution. The witness said that Most in conclusion said, t "I am an Anarchist: long live anarchy." ' la cross-examination Mr. Howe asked this witness if Most's concluding words were "long live anarchy," or "rise anarchy." Tha witness thought he had said both. Mr. Howe then drew from tbe witness that bis brother, a reporter on the World, had got his version of the speech from the witness. He also got the witness to say that detective Sachs bad called at his honse and talked about the ease. After a good deal of beating about the bush the witness acknowledged that bis brother was to get paid for tbe sensational account of the meeting furnished by the witness. Joseph C. Brnnner, one of Inspector Byrnes's detectives, was next called. He said bis special work was to attend the Anarchists' meetings. Mr. Nicoll produced a small book called "A Manual of Revolutionary Warfare," by Johann Most, and asked the witness if he had read the book. Mr. Howe objected, and Mr. Nicoll argued, but Judge Cowinz decided in favor of tbe defense. Then Mr, Nicoll tossed the book on the table and said, "That's all; the people rest" Mr. Howe then moved for the discharge of the prisoner, no case having been made out. This Judge Cowing refused. Mr. Howe then said he bad about tweuty witnesses, and would require a day or two to examine them. The case was then adjourned until Friday, the judge cautioning the jurymen not to read newspaper accounts of the trial. Nina does Into Mourning. Chicago, Nov. 23. Nina Van Zandt and her mother entered a millinery store on Wabash avenue this morning to buy a mourning bonnet for Nina. Several bonnets were shown, and Nina picked out one of black nun's veiling with a long widow's veil of the same material. Her mother objected to the veil, saying that it was too deep mourning for her to wear. An argument on the subject was terminated by Nina, who turned to her mother and said sharply: "Mother, if you have come here to argue family matters, it would have been better to have stayed at home." Mrs. Van Zandt said no more, and her daughter ordered the widow's weeds, paying $12. the price asked, and ordering them sent to Mrs. A. Spies, at her residence. Th proxy widow wore no mourning for Spies at the Anarchist funeral. Her purchase to-day is the first public intimation of an intention on the part of Nina to put on weeds. Not To Be Expected. Philadelphia Press. The Postoffice Department is intended for the convenience of the public and should be administered so as to promote that convenience. The statutory postoffice rules should, therefore, be construed liberally in favor of the public, especially when such construction entails no loss of legitimate revenue to the government, and Ls a convenience or benefit to the user of the mails. It is in vain, however, to expect anything of the kind from the present administration, which has nowhere shown more strikingly its incapacity and unfitness, or its total disregard of the public interest and the will of Congress, than in its maladministration of the Postoffice Department. One Thins: To Be Thankful For. Youths' Companion. It is the custom in one large family, when they all sit down to the Thanksgiving dinner, for each member of the family to give some reason of his own for a feeling of thankfulness. The father and mother give their reasons, and then the children follow in the order of their ages. On one occasion little Alice, who was the youngest in the large circle, seemed very impatient for the dinner to begin, and as soon as her turn came she exclaimed, emphatically: "I'm thankful 'cause we have enough to eatl Please give me plenty of stufiin', pa!" Divorced from Woman Suffrage. Kw York Tribuns. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union has, apparently, found woman suffrage too great a load to carry. The Charleston News and Courier congratulates the union upon its wise action in freeing State unions from responsibility for any action of tho national union outsido of its orignal purposes. The News says the woman suffrage propaganda had nearly wrecked the State union in outh Carolina, which would probably have withdrawn from the national union had that issue been forced. We do not intend to indorse any exoept articles of genuine merit, but we take pleasure in referring to the "Garland Stoves and Ranges," whose superiority is too well established to be called in question.' They are believed to be unequaled by any in the world.

THE MANCHESTER 3IARTIRS.

Chicago Irishmen Hold a Celebration in Honor of Allen, O'Brien and Larkin. Chicago. Not. 23. High up in the organ lof of Central Music Hall to-night were suspended the names of Allen, O'Brien and LarMa, surrounded by broad bands of crepe which draped to the stage and across the pipes of the greal organ on either side. The occasion was the Chicago memorial of the twentieth anniversary of the day when three Irish patriots yielded up their lives at Manchester, England, and incidentally was a homage to the other trio of Irishmen who fell before a re-jent charge of constabulary at Mitchelstowu, Ireland. Every seat ia the great music hall was occupied early, while there stood in the aisles a sufficient number to swell the gathering to an audience of 3,000 persons. A large representation of uniformed but unarmed members of the Clan na-Gael and Hibernian Rifles were seated on the platform. ExCongressman John F. Finerty presided. He related the circumstances under which Allen, Larkin and O'Brien perished on an English scaffold, twenty years ago. It was then the custom, tha chairman said, to arrest Irish leaders on Irish soil, and in loathsome dungeons assassinate them by slow means as they were now attempting on William 0"Brien. In Manchester, on English soil, thirty Irish ejriles had rescued Colonel Daily and Colonel Kelly, who landed in England from America, only to be arrested for conspiracy. In the rescue an English officer was accidentally killed, and for this these thre were hanged - In concluding. Mr. Finerty said: "Let us send tidings of the honor we give these men across the waves to Ireland, to penetrate the gloomy dungeon of William O'Brien, and mayvGod speed the day when the fires of Irisl; vengeance will rush on England's tyranny lik the fire of a million volcanoes." At this point, while the three thousand listeners were in a tumult of enthusiasm, the Hon, John E. Fitzgerald was introduced as the orator of the evening. He said the spirit of the audience and the numbers present on such an occasion was a proof that the Irish race was worthy of freedom. The glory of Ireland was not so much in the past as in the not distant future. In the nationalism of the Irish is the. hope of their race, and as a result of recent events the demand for separation from England was stronger to-day than ever. To day the cry of the sons of Ireland, scattered twenty millions strong over the world, was the cry of that brav old rebel. John Mitchell. "We have not xnad peace with England, and we never shall." Th great audience wildly echoed Never. The speaker here asked th question, "But why do we glorify thess three men who were hanged! Why not glorify others who have been hanged?" Sneh a question had been put to him durin the day. The audience instantly understood to whom ths question alluded when the speaker continued "He is a poor philosopher who cannot see th distinction. It is the cause that glorifies and eanonizes the act There was glory and honor to the Jewish maid who dipped her hands ia tyrant's blood, but only execration for Guiteau, who assassinated the representative of liberty." The speaker added: "BE the present movement in Ireland fails, what thenl" Some one in th audience started the yell, "Dyn -," but ths speaker shut him off by proceeding with the address, leaving the questton unanswered. Mr. Fitzgerald concluded with the declaration hat if the British government resolves upon desperate things they must expect desperate measures in return ' . Celebrations Elsewhere). New York: Nov. 23. The twentieth anniversary of the execution of the' Manchester martyrs was celebrated In the large hall of Cooper Union this evening. There were fully 2,500 men ing and women present. The meetwas not altogether harmonious. When Richard Caffrey denounced those who opposed Henry George in the late election, selecting Patrick Ford for special denunciation, there were loud protests. Several of those who protested were promptly put out. and a company of the Sixty-ninth Regiment arose and left the place The confusion lasted several minutes, and while two were being ejected by citizens and police, matters assumed a serious aspect Dr. McGlynn also raised a mingled , storm of ' hisses and applause when he denounced the treatment to which he bad been subjected by the Pone and Archbisliop Corrigan. PmLADEiiPmA, Nov. 23. The twentieth an niversary of the martyrdom of the Irish patriots Allen, Larkin and O'Brien. at Manchester. England, was commemorated with a public meeting at Industrial Hall to-night, under the auspices of the Clan-na-GaeL Nearly" 4,000 people were present. Senator Riddleberger, of Virginia, was the orator of the evening. WASHINGTON NOT A CHEAP TOWN. How the Cost of Uvlnr Baa Increased WlOx the Growth of Fashion la the Capital. Washington Special. A mighty wail goes up this year. Everything else has gone up long ago, and tenee the waiL Honse rent, servants' wages, marketing all are on the rise. Here is the difference In a eertain establishment between now and a little while ago: The house is a small one in a fashionable street. It Is, of course, gabled, picturesque, and a Pompeiian red, as Joaquin Miller expresses it. It was occupied five years ago by s Northern familv of independent means woe liked to spend their winters here. They looked at the artistio fire-places, at the cunningly wrought baluster of tbe staircase, and took it. Tbe rent was $60 a month. The Northern family took tho house and furnished it with the tasteful and inexpensive furniture to be bad now. They hired a colored cook at $10 a month, a colored housemaid at tS, and at $20 a month a young eolored man aa waiter and to drive their modest eoune, which the livery-stable people eared for. The horse and coupe were well looked after at the liverystable for $20 a month. How happy they were. Every winter would they spend in this paradise of cheapness. Hera it was possible to live comfortably for nothing, and for a little more than nothing they could live en prince. But the next winter something happened. They could not return. Winter after winter they were kept away, and at last five passed before they came back. Aboct a month ago tbey returned and found their old house to let. They took it at.$SJ a month. A cook was only obtained at $ 15 a month and a housemaid at $12. The handy young colored man who would be butler and coachman in one was not to be found at aiL However, there was plenty to be had for $25 a month to do nothing but wait, and others who would for the same sum drive the coupe. Tbe livery stable people laughed at the idea of feeding a horse and takioa care of a carriage for $20 a month. They asked $20. Theu came the advance in beef, mutton, poultry and vegetables. When the Northern family got through with their arrangements. they found that their cheap winter in Washington would very nearly swamp them, Thert has not only been an advance all along the linn in prices, but the scale of living has risen rapidly. Five years ago the turnout in Washineton were as numerous as they are now, but they looked very like the assemblage of vehicles at a country fair or thoa under a borae-shed of a village meeting house. Now, f carriage has to be perfect in its appointments, from the top of the coachman's hat to the end of the horses' banged tails. Occasionally a coachman and footman, with big cockades in theil bats, are seen, giving out the impression that e plain American citizen is an officer in the British army; still oftener is a top-booted coachman found sitting in solitarv magnificence on th box of a big landau without the accompanying footman. Bnt there are many splendid equip ages in Washington and the number is fast in' creasing. The great numbers of negroes in Washington will always Keen wages down. Although accomplished servants are eertain of commanding good wages, there is such an indefinite supply or the average negroes, and tbe recruits from the country are so constantly pouring in, that the supply will exceed tbe demand for a long time to come. This keeps not only the wages buf the quality of domestic service low. In entertaining Washington has reached the point of elaboration that foretells a return to the simplicity of good taste. It costs more than a trifle to belong to the Metropolitan Club. The Cosmos, wbifh is the club of the scientists, has likewise handsome quarters, and the learned pundits have to go deep in their pockets foi their subscription fees. The tendency of society toward increased expenditure every year has one salutary check on it. which, although it cannot stop, ean yet retard the march of extravagance. It is the great body of people high government officials, and army and navy officers, and their families, and tbe like who are important factors in tbe social world, but whose incomes are very modest. Let a man live as ha likes in Washington, if he has a eertain official position, and any accomplishments whatevsr, his social status is fixsd and agreeable. An Extended Popularity. Brown's Bronehial Troches have for many years been the most popular artiole in use for relieving coughs aZjd throat troubles.
