While tho bands play "The Campbells are Coming' be will hie him away to the gloomy hannts of political oblivion. There are disappoint-. xnents in all walks of life. No one is perfectly happy. The nearest approach to it is the passenger agent of such a road as the Big 4, a road that reaches every where and none are better tho knowledge always with him of having made his fellow-man happy by sending him on pleasant journeys, of Laving given his fellow-beings health, happiness and knowledge, until all are ready to call him blessed. It beats politics faraway, particularly politics that holds to opinions from which the voters differ. After all, the best way to reach Washington is to come to the Big Four office, corner of Washington and Meridian streets, and get a round-trip ticket for only $16. J. II. MAKTIN. D. P. A.

A queer little specimen of humanity arrived in this city yes terday in the Red Star steamship Noordland, from Germany, where he is known as Herr Orloff. "the transparent man." His case has interested some of the greateat medical authorities of Germany, among whom are Dra. Virchow and Berguiann. of Berlin, physicians to the royal family. The peculiarity of Heir OrlotFs case is that the bones of his legs, which are very small and thin and greatly deformed, are so soft and cartilaginous that, with the aid of a candle or other light in a darkened room, one can look right through the limbs and observe the workings of the blood vessels, both veins and arteries, which run through the bony tissue. lie is not exactly transparent, but he is certainly translucent, and a number or physicians of this city and Brooklyn, who met yesterday afternoon at 233 Spring street, where the little fellow is staying at present, were very much astonished at what they saw. The real name of this new freak for the Worth Museum collection, for such is his object in coming to this country, is Ivan Dzarschky-Orloff, and he was born in Buda-Pesth in 1864. According to the medical authorities this softening of the bones, which seemed to "begin when he was about a year old, is extending over his whole system, and in a lew years he will bo perfectly limp and helpless They sav it is dno to the loss of tho chalky substance in the bony tissue, and it Las already more or less affected the whole skeleton.

BEGINNING A MY CENTUEY

Celebration of tho Appointment of the Pirst Catholic Bishop in America. Noted Dignitaries of the Church Participate in a Precession at Baltimore, and in Ira- , pressiie Services at the Cathedral Sermon by Archbishop Eyan on Changes intheChuTch'sUnityand Catholicity. A Dinner to Visiting Clergy in the Afternoon, Folded by the Celebration of Vespers Archbishop Ireland's Address. TIIE MORNING EXERCISES. A Procession of Church Dignitaries to the Cathedral Archbishop Kyan's Sermon. Special to the luiUanspolla Journal. Baltimore, Nov. 10. "A century closes, a century opens." A hundred years have come and gone since lirat a bishop of tho Catholic Church was given to America. A century of time has been added to the past since the creation of the see of Baltimore. The centenary of the church was cele brated to-day in a manner befitting the oc casion. 1 he old Cathedral that crowns the Charles-gtreet hill had within its walls an assemblage most notable, and around its iron picket fence on Charles, Mulberry, Cathedral and Franklin streets, people thronged in thousands, m who watched, eomo with interest, others with pride, the procession of priests and bishops, and lincered long after tho chant of the sominarians announced that the service had begun. Admission to tho church could be gained only by the tender of a card of in vitation. Every' available bit of space within was utilized, yet thousands of people, visitors as well as Baltimoreans, had to be shut out. The gathering of prelates embraces two cardinals, seventeen archbishops and seventy-five bishops. The Pope was repre sented in tho person of Archbishop Satolii. of Lepanto, Canada by Cardinal Taschereau, Mexico by Bishop Montez d'Oca and E. Antiquario Gillo, England by Bisttop John Virtue of Portsmouth, and Monsigiror radd of London. AH of the archbishops in the United States were in attendance, except Kendrick, of St. Louis, who is too feeblo to travel, and nearly all of the bishops. After a continuous rain for throe days, this morning broke clear and bright. About 7 o'clock knots of people put in an appearance on the streots bordering tho Cathedral. An hour later crowds began to gather, and by 10 the vicin ity was literally packed with people. The students of St. Mary's Seminary, and the priests, local and visiting, collected at St Joseph's Academy, on Saratoga street, and tho bishops assembled at the archiepiscopal residenceCon Charles street, where they donned their purple vestments. The pro fession of 150 seminarians, and 400 priests. in the order named,, two abreast, started from their rendezvous at 10:30, marching down Saratoga street to Charles, to the archiepiscopal house, whore the prelates fell in linejn this order: cross-bearer, abbots, rionsignors, bishops, archbishops, the papal legate, and Cardinals Gibbons and Taschcreau. The procession then continued up Charles, to Franklin, to Cathedral slreet. and into the Cathedral. The seminarians and priests, after the rear of tho procession had passed on, occupied camp chairs in the aisles. Tho archbishops and bishops were seated within the chancel. Cardinal Gibbons. Cardinal Taschereau and Archbishop Satolii occupied thrones. That of the latter was draped with the papal colors of yellow and white. The pows throughout the church were crowded to the utmost with laity. In striking contrast with tho dark-clothed ag gregation thus formed wero the aisles. center, and front, and sides, packed with tho snow-surpliced' priests. Against both laity and priests shone the serried purple ranks of prelates inside the eanctuarv. On cither side was a dais for tho cardinals. At the high altar stood the mitred celebrant of the mass, and over all was the great white and gold dome of the Cathedral. At' the conclusion of the host the cardinals advanced from the sides with tho monsiguors, and, bowing themselves low, knelt at the prio deux, facing the altar. Back of them was a row of richly-arrayed acolytes Deanng iigntea oronze torcnes. As Cardinal Gibbons retired to his dais, the reporters in the improvised press-gallery noticed, for the first time, not six feet away from him in the sanctuary, among tne abbots and other special dmnitaries, tho black face of Father folton. of Chicaeo. the first colored Catholic Priest ordained in America. Prob ably the most impressive part of the mass, next to the consecration, was the conferring of tho pap.il blessing. The vcnerablo archbishop at tne altar seemed to feel it a doubly solemn moment when, turning to the congregation, he paused for an instant, then, while tho people in the church knelt, he raised his hand and slowly made the aiirn of tne cross. The solemn pontifical mass was beirun at 11:15, with the following officiating: Celei a Li.:.l ii! . . uraui, axcuuiaimp n imams, ci UOSton: assistant priest, lie v. Dr. Matrnien. of Balti more; deacon, Father Bartlett, of Balti more; 8uu-ueacon, t athcr Dutly, of Brooklyn: master of ceremonies, Rev. J. S. McCallen, of Montreal; assistants, Fathers vuel m ana Kioruan, of Baltimore. It was 12:45 p. m. when the 'Ite Missa Est" was said. Then Archbishop Rvan. of Phil adelphia, ascended the pulpit and preached tne sermon, tatincr his text from Ecclesiasticus 1, 1. 2, 7, 14. The sermon was one of retrospection. The Archbishop welcomed the representatives from the Holy See, from Canada, Mexico and England. This was a religious union of all the Americas, and he stated it would bo but the beginning of a more intimate union in the future. Ireland, Germany. France and other European countries were well represented in their children and descendants among priests, prelates and people. It was m truth a great historic Catholic celebration, calculated to gladden the heart of the present successor of the founder of the American hierarchy, and the hearts of all his brother bishops and priests, and to rejoice and console the PontiiT himself. It was n celebration that ought to deeply interest the thinking men ot all denominations orof no denomination. At tho begiuning of the present century the church's unity and catholicitv was adapted to a state of society new in the history of the world. Up to that time men legislated for tho people of the same race. The fathers of this Republic had to form a Constitution for every race. They had to combine a political catholicity with a political unity. So, also, before the establishment of the Catholic Church in this world religions were national in theirorganizations, and adapted to people of the samn race. Bat tho church was destined to embrace within her government the people? of every nation, and hold them there; and in no country had she to exercise this power as here, lor nowhere else were they found together. The organization of this government and of the church were, therefore, striking nud suggestive coincidences. lie believed that before another century thoughtful men will see that this wonderful catholicity and unity will prove a most powerful auxiliary for tho perpetuation of our political -union. He compared Bishop Carroll in tho church to George Washington in tho life of the

Republic. Archbishop Ryan paid a glowing tribute to tho first bishop, and gave a sketch of his life. Speaking of tne suppression of the Jesuits, of whoso order Carroll was one. Archbishop Ryan said that Carroll knew that no society, no individual, was essential to the church's existence; but he believed that it predisposed CarroJTin favor of that great principle in the American Constitution which declared that the 'state should not interfere with religion. In reference to the charges that the church fears science and is tho enerav of education, he spoke at length. He said the last to fear intellectual progress was the Catholic. He knew that truth is one; that God cannot contradict in the revelation of the Scripture what he exhibits in the revelation of science. Henco. the Catholic Church never feared tho progress of science and education. Carroll acted in harmony with the spirit of the church, therefore, when he founded Georgetown College, and the Catholic bishops were now acting in the same spirit in founding the Washington University. The charge that the laity were priest-ridden every Catholic know was false, and he hoped that in the congress this week tho laity would speak out fearlessly and freely. It was time they take and express an iuterestin the great questions of the day affecting the church society. He closed with a prayer for the continued success of the church in the new century. Then the benediction was given, and the procession of clergy moved out, down Cathedral street to 'Mulberry, to Charles, to the Cardinal's residence, where tho ranks were broken. AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

Dinner ct St. Mary's Seminary Archbishop Ireland's Addrens at Vespers. Epecial to the TnTlanaioli Journal. Baltimore, Nov. 10. This afternoon the bishops aud others of the clergy dined at St. Mary's Beminary. Cardinal Gibbons presided, with Cardinal Taschereau on his right and Archbishop Satolii on the left. After the dinner 'toasts were proposed by Cardinal Gibbons and responded to as follows: "The Roman Pontiff," by Archbishop Satolii; "Mexico." by Bishops D'Oca and Gillow; "Ireland." by Archbishop Cleary, of Kingston, Out.; "America," by Archbishop Ireland. Archbishop Ryan read a letter of regret from Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin. Monsicnor Gadd Tead a letter from Cardinal Manning, of England, congratulating the Catholics of America on the centennial celebration. An illuminated address was also delivered by Monsignor Gudd in behalf of St. Bede'a College, Manchester, England, to Bishop Kcane, congratulating the American Catholics on tho establishment of the Washington University. Monsignor Gadd also handed another address of similar imfort to Cardinal Gibbons from the St. tathbert's College, of Ushaw, England. It is signed by the northern bishops of tho province of Westminster. Monsignor Gadd, on behalf of the English and Irish residents of Rome, also presented to the Washington University a marble bust of St. Thomas Aquinas, accompanied by an illuminated address signed by Tobias Kirby, Archbishop of Ephesus; Edmund Stonor, Archbishop of Trebizond, and others. , This evening the sceue at tho Cathedral was a re-enactment of the morning, with the substitution, of course, of vespers. Archbishop Heiss, of Milwaukee, was the celebrant. Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, preached the sermon, which dealt entirely with the future. He said the great work tho Catholics of the United states are called to do within the coming century was to make America Catholic. If they love America and the church, to mention tho work suffices. Tho importance of the possession of America to the cause of religion cannot well be overestimated.. America's influence is widespread among nations, and if the church was triumphant in Amer.4'thoHc truth would travel on the wings of American iuduence aud encircle tho universe. He was aware there were those who do not partake of his hopefulness. What can be done, they say. in America? Catholics are a handful 10.000,000 in 65,000,000 struggling amid tempta-. tions aud prejudices, and so long as they speak in that manner the world won't be brought to God and the enemies of the church will possess tho age. Why should we fear or hesitatef We number 10.000,000 a.powerful army in the arena of truth ami justice if the forces are well mar6balea. It can be shown to the American people that they need the church for the preservation and complete development of their national character and social order. They must look to her to maintain for them in the conscience of citizens the principles of natural equity and law, without which a belt-governing peoplo will not exist. Speaking of tho present age. Archbishop Ireland said he loved its aspirations and resolves, its feats of valor, its industries and discoveries. Be fair to the age; it has good as well as bad in it. We can make the ago the relentless enemy of religion or the devoted and grateful child of Christ's religion. The preacher bade Catholics to preach their truths to the age and work to make good their assertions. Bid science put on its brightest pinions and court the widest llights beneath the spell of the religious wand. Whisper to liberty that religion cherishes it and guards it alike from anarchy and despotisip. Let labor know that religjou will ward off the oppression of capital and teach capital that its rights are dependeut upon its fulfillment of duties, aud the age will rush to the arms of the church and proclaim her its teacher and queen. He wanted Catholics to be aggressive. There was a woeful lack of. Catholic public spirit. In the world's battles wo seem not to know it. and our publio men are eager to doff it of its grim nature. If wo never venture we shall never gain. We should live in our age and know it be in touch with it. Our work is in tho present, not in the past. We should be in the world and of it if we would have its ear. The strength of the church. to-day, is the people who are held by their intellect and heart. We have a dreadful lesson to learn from certain European countries, in which, from weight of tradition. the church clings to the thrones and classes and loses her grasp upon the people. .Let us not make this mistake. ORDERLY ANARCHISTS. They celebrate the Death or the 'aiartjrs" m a Quiet Way Mrs. Parsons's Red Flag. Chicago, Nov, 10. The Anarchist mem orial celebration, to-day, was very tame; in fact, the only noteworthy incident was fur nished by Mrs. Lucy Pardons. who, in de fiance of tho police prohibition of red flags, hung one from the window of her residence, on Milwaukee avenue, early in the day. A policeman was sent to her house to notify her to take down the anarchical emblem. This is a free country," said Mrs. Parsons; 'why can't I wave the flag of my doctrine! " "Because my orders are to pull it down," said the patrolman, and without further talk he tore down the flag and took it to the station. Mrs. Parsons fumed for awhilo and then left for Waldheim. The day was dreary and cold, and lack of enthusiasm was the most noticeable feature of the celebration at Waldheim Cemetery. From a crowd of 5,000 last year, the attend ance to-day had dwindled to less thau 2,000, and of this number not jl few were merely curious spectators. The graves of the exe cuted men were profusely and beautifully decorated. Theonly inscription among the various offerings which had any of the oldtime Anarchist style was that from the Pioneer Aid Society, reading, "Murdered, but still alive." During the exercises. Miss bpies, airs, benwab and Mrs. iisher stood by the graves, while Mrs. Parsous. sitting on tne damp grouud by her husband s grave. with her little boy by her side, buried her face in her handkerchief and abandoned herselt to tears. After musical selections by the band and a siugmg eoclety, C. U. demons, of Topeka, Kan., stepped upon a table which had been covered with red cloth and an nounced himself to be an American An archist. Although ho understood his life was in danger in Chicago, he was deter mined to have his sav. He then abused the laws and authorities in a mild way. and urged that the memories of the dead

men be kept green by spreading their principles broadcast throughout the land. Paul Grottkaa then spoko in a much milder vein than last year. His audress was devoted to "the crimes of the aristocracy," in setting forth which hepaidsome attention the owners of the dam tha breaking of which caused the Johnstown disaster. "Only through blood," said he, "can white slavcrv bo abolished.' Don t imagine we are at peace. We are at war with existing conditions. Of course we cannot have a battle every day. but the energy of forces will gather, and the inevitable conflict in which we hope to be successful will come." Jacob Mikanda made a brief speech in Bohemian, and G. Oliver recited a poem. No disturbance occurred throughout the day. Indeed, the lack of enthusiasm which generally characterizes the Anarchists' gatherings, was the chief feature. Reports from Kansas City and other plares indicate that like celebrations wero without feature, AXOTUEJi 5IACKEY SYSTEM STRIKE. Freight Men on the Peoria, Decatur & EvansTille Threaten to Go Oat This Morning.

SsecUl to tho Indlnaioli Journal Evansville. Ind., Nov. 10. Word has reached the officials of the Mackey lines that the freight brakemen and conductors on the Peoria, Decatur & Evausviile raiiroAd had made a demand on Master of Transportation Patterson, at Mattoon; for the granting of certain rights to them or they would go on a strike before morning, and it is more than likely their threat well be carried out, as Mr. Patterson has received orders not to grant the demands until after the caso has been presented to President Mackey,. who is at present in the East on important railroad business. Just what the men arc demanding is not known here at present. They aro receiviug standard wages, and if they are asking for an ad vance they will be wauting more man tne scale. A strike by the freight conductors nud brakemen of the Evausviile 3c Terre Haute and Evansville Indianapolis rail roads, of the Mackey system, occurred only Jast week because thev claimed tney were not receiving the standard scale of wages, as paid on the Peoria, Decatur &.

BALL-PLATER PFEFFER TALKS. He Says the Iteports About Denny and Oth ers Signing with League Clubs Are False. Chicago. Nov. 10. N. F. Pfeffer. second baseman of the Chicago Club, returned to day from Now York, where he has been at tending the session of the Players' National League to perfect plans for an Independent League, of Brotherhood Clubs for the coming year. Mr. Pf offer was interviewed by an Associated Press reporter. Ho expressed his highest gratification at the result of the New York meeting. He denounced as ridiculous the report that Harry Wright had signed with the Philadelphia management, that Denny had signed with Indianapolis, and that Tom Daly had signed with tho Brooklyn mana gers' club. "All these reports," said he, aro worse- than fouudless. They are mancipus, ana aro put in circulation by tho managers only for the purpose of creating tho impression that ttto Brotherhood is on the verge of disintegra tion. If there is anything in the present situation or outlook which is indicative of anvthing but encouragement for the Brotherhood, I would liko for somebody to tell mo what it ' is. Our New York meeting was harmonious. and the results reached clean cut and decisive. One hundred and twenty play ers, or thereabouts, nave signed an agreemeeut to stand by the Brotherhood, and this agreement would prevent them play ing with any old clubs now, even if any players did want to desert ns. 1 do not think that therois a man in the Brotherhood who can be enticed away. They think they are entitled to use any ends to accomplish their mirnoses. In fact, nttemots have already been made upon certain of our men to persuade them, by the tender of natter ing bonuses, to desert tho causoand return to their old clubs. Under the new arrange ment the base-ball public will certaiuly see better playing and more honorable deal ing thau has been recently witnessed in this field of athletic sport." Mr. Pieiler stated that the Boston club would arrive in Chicago to-morrow on their way to Kan rrancisco. They will stop at Denver to play an exhibition game, however, with the bt. .Louis Browns. Boston's Brotherhood League Club. Boston, Nov. 10. The new players' base ball club of this city held a meeting ycs terday forenoon, all the stockholders be ing present.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES. Sir. IInstona Annual Keport of the Opera tions and Condition of the Treasury. EperJal to t!ie Inljaiiayo: Journal. Washington, Nov. 10. The annnal re port of United States Treasurer Huston on the operations and condition of the Treas ury for the fiscal year ending June SO, 1S60, was made public to-day. The year is characterized as a remarkable cue in the his tory of the public finances, both the reve nues and the expenditures having been exceeded but few times sinco tle foundation of the government. The revenues amouuted to $387,050,053 and the expenditures to $:30,2S$,97S, inclusive of S17.2tt.oC2 paid in premium on bends purchased. The surplus revenues were $S7,7G1,0S0, a decrease of $23.5$0,UJ3, as compared with the year be fore, counting premium on bonds as an or dinary expenditure. The receipts on ac count of the public debt amounted to 'iV,111.S50, and the expenditures to $336,214,773. Tha gold in the treasury in excess of cer tificates outstanding was $143,C10,172 on July 1. 16SS, aud $lSo,257.490 on July 1, 18S9. Notwithstanding the loss of gold, both in the aggregate and in the amount cot cov ered by certificates, amouuting to nearly 4 per cent., the position of the treasury was strengthened in every respect save the amount of reserves. The total assets, tho liabilities and tho reserve all fell olf about 14 per cent. At tho beginning of tho year the free gold was f45.000.000, and at the close $S,000,000 in excess of tho demand liabilities. Tho Treasurer suggests that the present method of keeping tiie accounts, by which he is charged with funds that do not exist, should be changed sothat the books would. at all times, show the truo state of the treasury without real or apparent discrepancies. The aggregate obligations of tho govern ment at tho close of the year, including the public debt as stated by tho department, and the national bank note redemp tion funds and deposit accounts, of which the Treasurer has 6ole charge, were 81,510,078,475. The debt, les3 cash in the Treasury, was $1,050,031,003, as against $1,139,000,873 a year before. The debt proper, consisting of tho interest-bear ing bonds, outstanding notes and matured securities decreased during tho year from $1,371,802,574 to $1..013.136. The total ap plication of moneys to the extinction of tho principal, including premiums, was 138,502,741, of which sum $105,053,413 was de rived from surplus revenues, and $33,509,297 was taken from cash in the treasury. The purchases of bonds amounted to $$2.-. 508,050 of four-and-a-half per cents., and $38,100,400 of fonr per cents. The reduction of the annual interest charge effected by the operations of the year was $5,2G9.5S0. The changes that took place in the cur rency during tho year were an increase of about $34,000,000 in the stock of silver, a contrar.t'on of $141,000,000 in the national bank circulation, and a loss of $25,750,000 of gold. Of the three, the first two are cot unusual, but the last is new, each former yearsiuce t he preparations were commenced for the resumption of specie payments having witnessed an increase ot gold in the country. The amount of the losn i less than 4 per cent, of the ntock of gold, and the fact of the loss itself is not considered significant in view of the large number of Americansthat have visited Europe the past season, and the rapid inriux of gold during the two years preceding the last. The total stock of gold, silver and circu- . lating notes was $2,085,334,571 in 1888. and $2,0,1)08.718 in lSbV. It would seem from the6 figures. Treasurer Huston says, that there had been an increase of the circulating medium, but the certificates of deposit, which i.re included, are merely representative of moneys in the treasury, and to count them with the com aud notes to which they give title, would be a duplication. If they be set asidn and the actual moneysadisposed according to ownership, 'the foiegoing figures will be reduced to Sl.ffJ8.G04.Ot9 for 18S8. and $l.Cf5.095,420 for lb9, making apparent a contraction of about :3,WXUuO m tho total currency of the country. As tho holdings of the treasury decreased in the interval in -the suiit of $41,000,000, the circulation increased about $,OOO.OUO. Tho public lost $18,000.CXI of gold and $o0.000.000 of notes and gained .VjsGouOH) in silver. A comparison of the cun.uicy in tho country at the end of each r.f the last five years shows that the pen-en ti go of gold fell olf only slightly. Whils it is itill higher than it was at tho end of uy year prior to lsS, the percentage of so.u. ir. tfce actual circulation has shown bs variation. In tho period of fouryeai? tbf public ownership ot hilver was nearl' doubled, while the volume of notes was -J in; inched Th increase oi tne circulation of silver certificates during the yt ar was abont $56,000,000, having kect pace with the rate for the two previous years. Of this sum oo,000,000 was in . new issue s, and the remain der was taken from thr, caah in the treasury. The new iss'ics it small denominations appear to lrw fou'y supplied the needs of tho counfr.-. us further difficulty is apprehei ,j in X irnishings such denominations t , wty art wanted within the limits of the 'iu'jre o silver dollars. These certificate j uv ixcec-d in volume every other kind of p:tper currency, except United States notes. The coinage of standard silver dollars has proceeded without any incident worthy of remark. Without much change in the aiuouut in circulation, there is a tendency toward a decrrase. The shipments to and from the treasury have been about as usual, but in consequence of the heavy movements, necessary for storage, the expenses of handling have recently been considerable. As the etlorts to iucreaae the circulation have proved futile, no extraor dinary iudmjements have been held out to tho puhlic to take them, and it is suggested that it might be well to stop paying the cost of transportation lrom the treasury, not only ass measure of economy, but also as a possible means of checking the too rendy return of the coins to the. treasury. It is claimed that in this way the silver dollar would have the advantage of being held strictly on a par with the other currency, vi hilethe step would not give tho publio auy just cause for complaint. A redundancy of the stock of fractional silver coin is 6hown by the larg amounts the treasury has had to carry. This was produced by the reappearance of the old pieces in tho circulation alter the resumption of wpecie payments.along with the new coinage substituted for fractional currency uuder the law of 1S?5. Since 1Sn however, there has been an average j-carly absorption of about $2,000.0u0. which is attributed to the growth of the country and the development of bust-
