CHARACTER ASSASSINATION

One of Cleveland's Methods That AYill Not Be Pursued by This Administration. Great Injustice to Applicants for Tensions in 'ct Bein? Permitted to See the Secret Evidence Filed Against Their Claims. Chairmanship of the House Committee on Elections Asked by Southern Men. Money Squandered by Office-Seekers in WashingtonColonel Wicker Asks to Have His Wrong Sighted A Smoker's Rebuff. A CUASfCK TS METIIODS. Secret Character Assassination Will Not Be Tolerated by the Present Administration. eprclAl to the Indianapolis Journal Vasiiixgtox. June 1. It is refreshing to know that those who are compelled to meet charges against their character, intended to defeat applications for pensions and claims for money, are given a fair showing now. The administration of President (Cleveland inaugurated a system of secrecy which was very reprehensible, in that while a man could ascertain that charges had been preferred against him which were likely to defeat his application, he was not permitted to see them, and could not, therefore, meet them.. Strange as it may appear, such information as tho names of bondsmen for federal officers was ref nsed everybody who applied at the Departments. Hie date of issuance of commissions was kept a secret as frequently as possible. The time when a change was to be made in an oflice was a profound feecret, much to the disgust of those who were interested in securing changes. The greatest harm, and the most flagrant injustices were perpetrated in the Pension Office by this pystem of secrecy. If a soldier should apply for a "pension, or if the widow or orphan of a 6oldier should make application, any one could file charges, defeat the application, and the applicant would never know why he or she failed of success. It was like a man being tried for his life, having an opportunity to present his evidence in rebuttal without knowing what he was rebutting. It was hearing one side openly for the purpose of meeting the side which was a secret. There is only one case on record where i l e I a. il 1 1 .( an applicant, lor iavor at vuu uuuus ui iuo government defeated this outrageous scheme. The man in question applied for a pension. He lived in Indiana. ' His case was hung up indefinitely, and he was for " many months unable to ascertain what was tho reason of the delay. Finally, ho learned that charges had been preferred . against him, and ho was smart enough to get the address of those who had testified in opposition to his claim. He learned this much in Washington, and immediately put out ont to his home with the determination to out-Herod Herod. When ho arrived at homo ho immediately prepared and had printed a f ac-simile circular representing himself to be a special agent of tho Pension Oflice. He addressed one of these to each man who had testified against v. him, and over an assumed name asked these witnesses to repeat to him the testiwonj given in tho case. Every witness fell into the trap, and by that means he was enabled to get a duplication of the testimony tiled at the Pension oflice against himself. That man is now pushing his claim for a pension before Commissioner Tanner, ond the fact that this secret evidenco weighed heavily against him, and irraif3 Tln'flT"ir nnilpr lint" ndmlftla. tration. isregarded as a strong element in his favor. It is not on record, in written or unwritten annals, that a person or an administration gained anything by dealing unfairly, or that there was ever any gam by secretivene&s wnen justice was at stake. TIIE COMMITTEE ON ELECTIONS. Southern Members of the Ilonse Will De mand the Chairmanship for Colonel II oak. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, June 1. There is going to be a great deal of contention, when tho Fifty-first Congress convenes, over tho organization of tho House committee on elections. It has already been announced that the South intends to combine and de mand the chairmanship of this committee. A majority has undoubtedly selected Col onel Honk, of Knoxvillo, Tenn., who has been a member of the House for five or six terms, and during most of that period ono of the committee on elections. The South , will furnish more contested elections than any other section of the country, and each contestant has his friends in the House. There is one peculiarity in the Southern contestants over thoe from the North they would liketoknowin advance how the jury is made nn which will hear their cases. Before the Speaker is elected some of the Southern members will not only demand the chairmanship of the committee on elections for their favorite, but they will demand of that favorite an expression as to what he thinks of certain contests. Judgo Honk is a man of good judicial mind and eminent fairness, and it is probable that ho will refuse to say what his opinion of a case is before he has made a indicial examination of it. This is very likely to result in the South dividing on tho subject of recom mending a chairman, and m this event tho South may get left. Already there is a good deal of talk on tho subject, and considerable feeling is being shown. It is claimed that, more than anything else, decisions in favor of certain contestants in the fcouth will heln to break nn the soliditr of Democratic majorities which havo been secured by f rauiL They want some exampies, ana are determined to begin at this time. OFFICE-SEEKING. The Great Amount of Time and Money Spent by Those Wanting Government Positions. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 1. "Office-seeking costs a lot of money," said a Western Kepnblican Senator this morning. "Hundreds of men have been hanging around Washington ever since tho 4th of March, seeking places, either for themselves or somebody else. I presume there has been an average of one thousand men here daily from various parts of the country during tho past ten weeks, and they are either at their own expense or that of those they represent. About half the men who como here seeking places for others have their expenses paid by the applicants. These men will average a cost of at least $5 a day, and that means not less than $.",000 daily for office-seeking. You can seo that already a half million dollars have been expended. I doubt very much if all of tho offices secured pay salaries worth .7)0,000 for four years. I have encountered a good many monstrosities and a great many peculiar situations in connection with office-seeking. I know a father and son who are both seeking positions in the same branch of tho government service. The success of ouo means the defeat of tho other. There aro two brothers here seeking a place in the Treasury Department. Each knows full well, and acknowledges it, that if tho other is given a place he will be left ont. Neither the father nor the son, nor either of the brothers will be given a place. I advised them repeatedly to get together and one withdraw in favor oft he other, but they were unwilling to do this." There is a good deal of superstition in connection with office-seeking. One of the most energetic and strongly-indorsed of-nce-eeekeri carries a real rabbit foot in

his pocket. ITo call a it a "graveyard rab

bit oot.,, It is an ordinary "cotton tail's" foot, of light gray color, and aronnd it is tied a pretty little pink ribbon. This man is stroncf of mind and yonng of years, yet ho declares that if ho was to lose this rabbit foot he would not achieve success in his ambition. THE WRONG DONE COL. WICKER. He Was Sacriflcetl to Prevent a Row -with Spain, and Now Seeks Restoration to Office. Special to the Indianapolis Journal WAsniNGTON, June 1. Reminiscences relating to the filibusteringexpeditions which sailed from Key West, Ha., to Havana, Cuba, and the agitation over the subject, during the years 1883-84. have been revived by tho application of Col. Fenn Wicker for appointment as collector of customs at Key West. It will bo remembered that Colonel Wicker was removed by the Arthur administration, on the charge of dereliction of duty in permitting a filibustering expedition to leave Key West for Cuba after ho had been warned that such a project was on foot. Tho truth is, Colonel Wicker received no official instructions regarding rilihnsterera. and hadno official information on the subject at tho time the expedition actually ion tne siiukbui rwuua. mo instructions were issued for a revenue cutter, and the expedition started and reached its destination owing to the care lessness of omcerson board tne government vessel. Somebody had to bo sacrificed, however. It would not do to dismiss tho commander of the revenue cutter, and so a lesser officer was selected for official decapitation. Secretary Folger subsequently acknowledged the wrong worked upon Colonel v lcker, and afterward offered to a- a i n-i appoint mm as a special agent oi me treasury Department, stating, as he did, that it would be an ofFenso against the Spanish government, under tho circumstances, to restore Wicker to his old position of col lector atWey West." The expedition, it , J A- 1 I'll, win do reraemDerea, consisiea oi a nine sailing yacht, with fourteen cigar-makers on board. They perpetrated no wrong acainst the Spanish government, and the alleged infractions of the revenue laws were not affected oneway or another. WILL. RECOGNIZE HIS FRIENDS. Indlanlans Will Be Remembered by the Pres ident Until the Offices are Exhausted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 1. The announce ment published in various Democratic pa pers in the West, and which has reached hero, that the President had ceased to ap point Indianians to office outside of their State, is untrue. The President has not stopped recognition of men from his own State except to fill lo cal offices. Ho said this morning that he intended to recognize and please as manv of his person 1 and party mends in Indiana as possible, and that he would not cease appointing them until the offices were exhausted. It is true, however, that there is a glut in the Indiana office-seekers7 market, and a practical suspension of operations, at which tho hopeful complain. However, tho announcement tnat there are to be no more Indianians appointed has had the effect of inducing nearly all of tho lloosiers to return to their Jiomes dispirited. Generally speaking, the office-seekers had como to tho conclusion that they can push their cases as well. and that they stand as good chances of preferment at their homes as in Washington, and there will not be much personal solicitation hereafter. Superintendent Porter says tho hood of inquiries coming from Indiana relative to appointments in connection with the census are lust so. much timo thrown away, as none of the appointments will be made un der ten months. MINOR MENTION. .An Inveterate Smoker's Scheme That Does Not always Meet With Success. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. June 1. Assistant Attor ney General Wilson, of West Virginia, is an inveterate smoker. Going up to his floor in tho Department of Justice the other morning he was accompanied by an old friend. Colonel Wilson was without a cigar, and ho wanted one very much. "What kind of clears are von carrvintr this morning!" inquired Colouel Wilson, 'seriously. "I haven't got any to-day, Colonel," was tho reply; 'but if I had ono I should be very glad to give it to yon." "Oh," stammered the Colonel, "I was not asking for a cigar, I merely had a curiosity to know what brand you were carrying today." l'he lawyers in tho Department say Colonel Wilson does not always meet with such ill success, and they have a number of instances to relate where ho worked this observation scheme on strangers with humorous effect.

WAITING FOR SIGNATURES

German Irritation Over Delay in Signing the Completed Samoan Treaty. Haying Lost All the Points in Dispute They Are Now Anxious to Bury the Matter Serious 111 aess of the PopeCable Gossip. (Copyright, 1889, by the New Tork Associated Press Berlin, June 1. After the seventh plenary sitting of the Samoan conference, held on Wednesday last, the American commission was in a position to cable to Secretary Blaine the definitive acceptance by the German and English governments of tho Washington proposals limiting tho German indemnity, Samoan rights to levy import duties, and some of the amendments to the clauses relating to the internal Samoan policy. The Washington government, aiming at tho most possible indepence of tho Samoans, has not the sympathy of tho German official's mind which better comprehends measures to protect European interests and to extend European influence; hut. after a slight hesitation the German commissioners have invariably yielded whatever concessions America asked in tho direction of Samoan autono my, un the other hand, the Americans have conceded practically nothing, adhering to their original claims. Some show of conciliation was made toward the close of the conference by the Americans leaving the appointment of the first resident judge of the European community to England. In official circles here it is rumored that, as Chief Justice Coleridge will have tho power to appoint the judge, the known personal relations of tho Chief Justice with America had something to do with tho American commissioners concession. The general results of the conference do not afford tho Foreign Office and tho official press a themo for congratulations. On the contrary there is a visible irritation over the delay in the conclusion of the treaty negotiations. oemi-oiuciai papers ass wny, tne reierences being practically concluded, the Washinaton government postpones the giving of orders to sign the treaty. The truth is that no especial honor will accrue to the German government from the result of the conference, so it does not wish the matter to be kept before the public. The feeling in official circles undoubtedly is that Germany having yielded everything demanded by the Americans, the government at Washington ought to assent to a prompt conclusion of the matter. Some slight suspicion even exists, though entirely outside of tho conference, that the American delegates have attributed delays to their government, which in some instances wero due to themselves. They are having a good time here, and have not specially striven to accelerate the settlement of tho questions at issue. Obviously, a suggestion like this arises from a desiro to bury the issues of the conference out of sight of the public as soon as possible. Secretary Blaine's instructions to sigu the treaty are expected in the course ofnext week. Since a completed draft of the treaty has been cabled to Washington, no advices have reached the commissioners indicating tho likelihood of a further roference to tho conference. The Strikes of Miners. Copyright, 1889, by the New York Associated Press. Beklix, June 1. The Cologne Gazette affirms that recent crown councils decided that the severest measures should be taken in event of tho strikes spreading. The temporary resumption of work by the miners show the arrest of the workmen's delegates from Bochum has been erroneously attributed to fears of the government's action. The delegates will energetically carry on the agitation throughout every coal district in Germany. It is expected that the general elections will be held In tho autumn. Herr Fussangel, editor of the Westphalia Yolks Zeituncr, lias been arrested. Papern Xound in his possession reveal the fact that he prepared the proclamations of the strike committees.

SENATOR YOORHEES'S CHEAP BID. IIi3 Contribution to the Miners Spoiled by Too Much Political Management Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Juno 1. The cheap hid of Hon. D. W. Voorhees for the votes of the miners here is the subject of no little talk. Its publication in a local paper is regarded as a 'mistake by Democrats, while tho Republicans appear much pleased over it. Had Mr. Voorhees contributed 20 and refrained from apolitical essay whose arguments the contribution was aimed to help out, it would have been all right. Had the letter been withheld from publication no criticism would have been made. The party to whom the letter was addressed is not chairman of tho Democratic central committee, but is a well-known leading Democratic politician, and was the choice of Clay county Democrats for Congress when Mr. Brookshire was nominated. Further, he Presided at tho nominating convention, le is a recognized authority. The letter was hardly intended as a private one, and its publication is simply a political mistake, ratner than a breach of confidence. Democratic bids for the votes of tho miners are entirely too common for disguisement in this instance. But the miners remember the Democratic accusation that they were hired to visit Mr. Harrison during the campaign. Furthermore, at a big Democratic" rally in the coal fields just west of Clay county, tho poster calling tho meeting, among other assurances of Democratic lovo for the people, promised cheap coal." The reduction demanded by the operators has not materially affected the price of coal. Manifestly the reduction that would make it "cheap" would be greater than the one that has so strongly appealed to Mr. Voorhees's sympathy. Tho SO will be thankfully received, but the miners will go slow in forsaking the political faith that keeps them from the pauperism they came her to escape. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

The victim was a patient named Taylor Comb?, who had been committed for a crime on a five-year-old girl at Stillwater. Combs was washing the ceiling at tho asvlutn and muttering as to what he would do if he had a revolver, when he was attacked by Edward Peterson and August Beckman, who commenced I winding him over the head with a cane and a lickory mop handle. Tbcn they made him set up, and Beckman commenced to pound him, knocking him down, and then Jumped on his chest. Combs died two hours afterward. Tho Jmtnter who saw the deed was told that if he liselosed the murder they (Beckman and Peterson) would kill him. The manager of the asylum called in the coroner, who made an examination. Beckman and Peterson claimed that Coinbs's death was caused by falling from tho scaffold. When tho facts came out the men were discharged from the asylum. Warrants were issued and Beckman was arrested last night, and Peterson capture is expected soon. The grand jury will Investigate the cae on Monday. The asylum authorities say that Combs was industrious and easily managed, and it is declared that his death was nothing short of diaboUcal murder. An Overdose of Chloral.

A LULL IN THE CBOJQN CASE

Xo New Developments Bronght to the Light in the Last Twenty-Four Hours. A Statement that Clan-na-Gael Members Will Be Liberated from Their Oaths, and the Order Exonerated from Suspicion. CniCAGo, June 1. Mr. J. F. Beggs, a young Dearborn-street attorney, is the re puted senior guardian of the Columbia Club, or Camp 90. of the Clan-na-Gael. It yas by this camp, as the story goes, that Dr. Cronin -was tried for treason in starchamber proceedings, and sentenced to death. The poUce have for some days had their eyes upon Mr. Deggs, and have been zealously laboring to collect evidence enough to connect young Irish enthusiast and his camp with the removal of Dr. Cronin. Mr. Beggs was seen this afternoon, and does not look at all like a criminal or an assassin. He appears to be about thirtytwo years old, has light hair and mustache, blue eyes and a ruddy, open countenance. My belief is," said Mr. Beggs, "that tho oath of a Clan-na-Gael forbids him to dis close the names of the officers or members of the order, or its objects or proceedings. Therefore, I cannot answer your questions as to who are members of tho Columbia Club, and whether I am the' senior guardian or not. However, I will tell you frankly that I hope the oath of secrecy may bo suspended until this thing is cleared up. If the Clan-na-Gael does not acquit itself of all connection with this crime it will be totally wrecked, aud the Irish cause in America will perish with it. People will say, 'We have contributed about 5,000,000 to free Ireland, and 2,000 of it has been stolen, and a horrid murder committed to cover up the theft, and we will not contribute another cent.' But if the oath of secrecy should be suspended by tho chief executive officers of the order, the order will be instantly acquitted of complicity in tho crime. f the. books of the order should bo laid onen be fore tho grand jury, and all its members subnernaed and examined as witnesses, it would be made so plain that the Clan-na-Gael, as an order, had nothing to do with the murder, that such a thing would never be thought of again." "You must admit that several Clan-na-Gael men were connected with it." "I don't think that is clear. Woodruff is not a Clan-na-Gael. McGeehan seems to have extricated himself from suspicion. The evidence against Coughlin does not seem to me to be very strong. P. O. Sullivan is in a worse lix. But I don't think that enough Clan-na-Gael people have been connected "with it, nor that they have been closely enough Connected with it to justify the belief that Cronin was tried and executed by that order." "What do you think of the work of tho police?" "It is all prosecuted on the theory of club action; and as long as they work on that theory they will fail. They will have to look in some other direction for the motive or they will never accomplish anything. Therefore, L earnestly hope, and in fact I may say that I expect, that in a short time the order will be liberated from its oath, and will soon afterwards be easily, entirely and universally exonerated from having any connection with the murder." Father Dorney's Effort for peace. Chicago, Juno l'Among the many stories which are appearing in the press in relation to the Cronin case, is one to the effect that the Rev. Father Dorney was summoned before a Clan-na-Gael trial committee in Buffalo, last summer to testify as to his examination of the accounts of a member of the so-called triangle; that he was crossed-exanilned by Dr. Cronin and refused to answer the doctor's questions, standing upon bis rights as a Priest, and insisting that his word should be taken because he was a priest, and that he should not bo subjected to cross-examina tion. Father Dorney was questioned about the matter last nicht. He was reluctant to talk on tho subject, but finally said: 'I was never before any committee in Buffalo or any where else, of w hich Dr. Cronin was a member. I was never sworn to testify before any committee on earth nor was ever asked to do to. Dr. Cronin never, either as an individual or as a member of a committee, interrogated or attempted to interrogate meou any subject. On one occasion several j-ears ago I was asked by men who were hostile to Mr. Sullivan to get a statement. Thev nronosed mv name. He did not. Up to that time I had only tne slightest speaking acquaintance with Mr. Sullivan. I consented to act when both parties had accepted me, hoping to get at the truth, and that tne trutn would bring about peace and good will. I did as requested by the parties, and sent a brief note stating the result of my examina tion. 1 found that grossly exaggerated statements had been put in circulation as to Mr. Sullivan's expenditures. I never made the ridiculous statement that his income was $50,000 a year, nor was any other sum mentioned. I merely stated in a brief note that he was amply ablo to nay what he had paid. Even then I appeared before no committee, and was not asked to do so." Alleged Defalcation in Irish Funds. Chicago, June 1. The many assertions that evidence relating to the Cronin murder, and to an alleged huge defalcation in Irish national funds, had been discovered by Mortimer Scanlan in the defunct Traders bank while he was in charge as a court officer, were denied to night by Mr. Scanlan himself. Upon the truth of the Traders' bank story has rested many of the sensational reports that have recently appeared as to the supposed motive for the murder of Cronin. The following is the full text of Mr. Scanlau's statement made over his own sig nature. "Permit mo to say that the statements con tained In certain newspapers of this city, on May the 30th, connecting me with an alleged consultation in the States Attorney's office, in reference to matters of the Traders' IJank and certain al leged occurrences in France, etc., are absolutely without foundation in truth. No such consulta tion, so far as I am concerned, ever took place. As a bailiff of the criminal court of Cook county. or In any way, I never had any connection what ever with the Traders' Bank, nor made any dis- J covory in connection with it or any kind whatever, nor am I acquainted with anv of the offi cers of the bank, nor with Byron L. Smith, its receiver, nor did I ever speak to one of its officers or Mr. Smith. Here is a letter from Sheriff Matson defining what aro my official duties and Jurisdiction. Any statement that I ever to any peremu ksiiu, iu uiu.i, ur uuif ittiu-r, or HUKKeiion, what is imputed to me in the articles mentioned, is uneriy iaise. Resiectfnlly. "MOKTISIER 8CAXLON."

Chicago, June 1. Chief of Police Hubbard was seen this afternoon but declined to answer any questions as to the particular character of the new investigation. "The fact is." he said. "we are investigating where ever there appears to be a clew. We must necessarily do that In a case like this where there Is so little known and so much to learn." "Are there any recent developments!"

THE FOUNDER OF NEGRO .MINSTRELSY A Brief Account of the Man Who Did Much to Amuse Ills Fellows. Lawrence Ilntton, In Jane Harper. Thomas I). Kice is generally conceded to have been the founder of Ethiopian, minstrelsy. Although, as has been seen, it did not originate with him. ho mado it popular on both sides of the Atlantic, and his image deserves an honored niche in its cathedral. Tho history of "Jim Crow Bice," as he was affectionately called for many years, has been written by many scribes and in many different ways, the most complete and most truthful account, perhaps, being that of Mr. Edinon i?. Conner, who described in tho columns of the New York Times. Juue, 5, lbtl, what he saw and remembered- of its conception. Mr. Conner was a member of the company at the Columbia-street Theater, Cincinnati, in 182S-S9. when he first met Kice, "doing little negro bits' between tho acts at that house, notably one sketch he had studied from life in Louisville the preceding summer. Hack of tho Louisvillo theater was a livery stable kept by a man named Crow. The actors could look into the stahle-yard from the windows of their

dressing-rooms, and were very lonu oi watching tho movements of an old and decrepit slave who was cmployed by the proprietors to do all sorts of odd jobs. As was tne custom amonc tuo necroes. ne bad assumed nis master's name, and called himself Jim Crow. He was very much deformed the right shoulder was drawn up high, and the left leg was stiff and crooked at tho knee, which irave him a painful, but at tho same time ludicrous limp. He was in the habit of crooning a queer old tune, to which he applied words of his own. At the end of each verso he gave a peculiar step, "rocking de heel" in the manner since so ceneral amoncr the lonr generation of his delineators; and these were the words of his refrain. "W heel about, turn about. Do Jis so. An ebery time I wheel about I Jump Jim Crow." Rice closely watched this unconscious performer, and recognized in him a character entirely new to the stace. He wrote a number of verses, quickened aud slightly changed the air, made up exactly like tho original, and appeared before a Louisvillo audience, which, as Mr. Conner says, went mad with delight, recalling him on the first night at least twenty times. And so Jim Crow jumped into fame, and something that looks almost like immortality, "ol" iSniith says that the character was lirst seen in a piece by Solon Kobinson, called "The Kille," and he, Smith, "helped Kico a little in fix ing the tune." Other cities besides Louisville claim Jim Crow. Francis Courteuev Weinvss, in his autobiography, says ho was a native of Pittsburg, whose name was Jim Cuti; while Mr. Robert I. Neviu. in the Atlantic Monthly for November, 1SC7, declares that mo original was a negro Hiago unvcr oi Cincinnati, and that rlttsburg was tlio scoue of Rice's first appearance in the part, a local negro there whose professional career was confined to holding his mouth open for ptMinies thrown to him on tho docks and tho streets, furnishing the ward robe for the initial performance. Rice was born in the Seventh ward of New York in 1808. He was a supernumerary at the Park Theater, where "Sara" Coweil remembered him in Hombastes t urioso," attracting 8o much attention by his eccentricities that Ililsou and Rarues. the leading characters in tho cast, made a formal complaint, andliad him dismissed lrom tao company. Coweil adding that this man. whose name did not even appear in tho bills, was the only actor on the stago whom the audience seemed to notice. Lowell also describes him .in Cincinnati in 1820 as a very unassuming, modest young man, who wore a. very nneerh.it. very much pointed down before and behind, and very much . . . - . w m. . T i , cocKca on one siue." tie went to jcugiana in 183J. where he met with great success. laid the foundation of a very comfortable fortune, and personally and professionally he was the liutialo Bill of tho London of half a century ago. Mr. Ireland, speaking of his popularity in this country, says that he drew more money to the Bowery Theater than any other performer in the sanio period of time.Kice was tne antnor ot many ot nis own farces, notably "Bone Squash" and "Tho Virginia Mummy," and he was not the ver itable orfginator,of tne genus known to tbo stage as the 'dandy darky," represented particularby in his creation of "Daiuiy Jim of Caroline," and "Spruce Pink." Ho died in 18G0, never having forfeited the respect of the public or the good will of his fellowmen. THE GERMAN DOMESTIC. Exasperating and Stupid, but a Worker from - Away Hack. New York Sun. The German servant cirl has no bancs. nor bangles, nor fur-lined cloaks, nor fourouttonea Kia gioves. one is square snouidered, heavy featured, and largo limbed. She is neither quick, clean, nor intelligent. but she can work. She has the strength of an ox and is always willing to uso it. Mo.t servant girls in German cities are peasants. Daughters of the poorer town -bred families usually become factory hands, shop girls, or waitresses. The conservative peasants, however, with'thcir old prejudices in favor of everything feudal, prefer domestic service for their children to an' employment. Like almost all novices in an occupation on the continent, she serves an apprenticeship. For several months she receives no wages, nor does she deserve any, for her stupidity is phenomenal. She has never walked on a carpet belore, and doesn't know a nankin from a dish-cloth, or a coal bucket from a kettle. She smashes crockery right and left. She blacks tho Herrs patentleather shoes and oils his rubber boots. Sho puts the table-spread on tho floor and the rug on the table. In fact, she is as strange to most of the furniture and customs of a comfortable house as a Persian or Indian. She learns slowly and laboriously, but she never forgets. When her apprenticeship is up her wages rise slowly irora $a and fc'Jo a year to . mum wages is expected to do an enormous amount of work. Sho is often the only servant in a family of seven or eight. She rises at 5 o'clock and blacks the boots of all the members of the family. Sho pre pares the light breakfast and serves it. Sho Eolishes all the brass and bronze in tbe ouse, scrubs the corridors, the front steps and tho walks before the houso on her hands and knees. She carries biff hods of coal from tho basement to the third and fourth stories. She sweeps the rooms, makes all the beds, and washes and scrubs every pot, kettle and pan in the kitchen till it reflects her stolid face. She goes to mar ket with her mistress and a big basket, and returns, loaded down like a -mule, with vegetables, meat and earthenware. She does errands all over the city, gratuitous!' for the family, and for a couple of cents for its guests. She frequently sleeps in a room smaller than an American wardrobe, and without means of ventilation. When a German family of the middlo class makes a picnic excursion all the food, crockery and linen are packed in u threebushel basket, which the maid servant carries on her back to the railway station or picnic ground. She also carries heavj' satchels and bundles to and from the train to save the family the four extra cents which a German cabby charges for taking small packagesupin front. Altogether, tho average German servant girl does not get more than an hour or so of leisure daily. A servant cirl in a German family of tho middle claHs does not pretend to cook; her mistress doe tnat. rsor does she wash and iron, as a laundress and washerwoman aro called in semi-monthly for these purposes. She does try to be a chambermaid of some merit, and fails. She washes the floor and dusts bric-a-brac with the same cloth. Mio never tucks in the clothes at the foot of tho bed. and never shakes up the big bag of feathers which she gives you for a coverlet. She puts your slippers on tho table, and throws your clean shirt into tho wash. Sho invariably mistaken your ash receiver for a German cusnidore. tills it with sand and rests it on the Moor. She streaks up -our books by dusting them with wet cloths, and throws all loose papers, regardless of their value, into the stove. According to American ideas, sho does everything wroug and by mainstrength. She is so willing to work, however, aud to learn everything that one will teach her. that American housekeepers abroad regard lier. despite her clumsiness, as a rougn diamond.

HOW VICTORIA rrtOFOSOT.

An Interesting nit of History Recalled Th , Queen's Fall Name. Philadr lphi. Pre!!. 'l wonder how many people know th&l Victoria the good, as it has been snggcsVci the (Jueen of England nhali be called, when she fell in love had to do the proposing for herself!" said an Americanized Englishman the other morn in a, . whose rerainiscencet were called up by the fact that Queen Vic toria will be civenty years old to-morrowt I was very much interested in reading recently the account of her betrothal. It had always been expected that the And hel cousin Albert would eventually- make a match of it. "When they both were nbonl eighteen years old, he visited Kngland, bnfi did not make much impression on the new ly crowned Queen. However, three ycar later he made up his mind to a "now oi never'' game, and with his brother visited her at Windsor Castle. Like more humbla lovers he was placed in a rather embarrassing predicament by the non-arrival of his luggage, and- was thus prevented Ironx dining with her Majesty' on his first evening as her guest For live days did Victoria 6tudy hun And thca after hrst telling her adviser. Lord Melbourne, what she had decided to do, she sent for Albert saying that she desired to see him particularly. One account of tho afiair, certainly ralnable for its brevity, reads as follows: "What the Queen told him was that she loved hira with her who) heart, and that 6he desired to be his wife." She was accepted without hesitation, as any good-looking sovereign of twenty might have hoped to have been, and eo they were married. Another fact about her lifo which inter ested me was tho fact that she was Christ ened Alexandrina-Victoria, with a hyphen, and not "plain Victoria, as she is generally called. As a child she was called "Irina," and her maternal grandmother, who had a fondness for nicknames, gave) her the endearing titles of "Sweet Blossom of May" and "May Flower" because of her birtlu Oddly enough, two or her eight children were born in the came month, Helena on May 25, 1S15, and Arthur on May 1,1850. A Mormon Wooing. Dajrmar Marlaf r, in June Overland. And vet, as we drove through tho montlJ of the tcho, my memory was Keenly alivf ' to some of my past experiences there. It was only a year before that a wedded connlo (Mormons) took me out for a drive, and tor two honrs I sat between the two, each or; them holding a hand, and both earnestly courting me for wife number two. Th lady excused her part in the wooing bjr 6aying she could net prevent the coming of a second into the family, and as both werti pleased with mo the drive had been planned with a view to getting my consent to tho union. They were people of intelligencer and education, yet my Tery good reason for declining their ofler was easily dis--posed of in their minds, my husband beinff a gentile, and my marriage with him not; necessarily bindintr Irv Mormon law.
