iron) Kushville, and ahead ox tnem ciouas of dust mark the progress of eight comSanies of the Seventh Cavalry, who will be ere soon. There are Gatliug guns, and Hotchkiss guns, and mountain howitzers and pretty near everything else in the way of ordnance and ammunition, except hand grenades, explosive bullets and smokeless powder. There are soldiers at Oelrichs, at Rosebr.d agency and one or two other neighboring posts, and at all forts in New Mexico, and Arizona troops are ready to march at a moment's notice. "Tbu Indians are ntterly dumfonnded at such a display of soldiers. They do not know the cause of their presence, and naturally believe they have been called in here to be coralled and then shotdown like dogs. They are almost panic-stricken, and it would not take much to send them scatterin? over the hills. This is bat one of the sore of possible contingencies that may arise from this stupid blander." The Report Was a Plain Falsehood. Fort Keogii, Mont., Nor. 27. The report that a battle is in progress near this point between the soldiers and Indians is false, and has no foundation in any event that has occurred here. The troops ordered to the held expect to move in the morning as soon as the transportation be secured. All is quiet among the Cheyennes on Tongue river and at the Lame Deer agency, and the settlers have no fear of any disturbance.' M'GILICCDDY'S VIEWS. lie Thinks the Indians Hare Been Badly Treated, and Scores the Authorities. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Omaha, Nov. 27. At Pine Ridge all is quiet since Little Wound and his lieutenant came into camo and there is no longer any outbreak anticipated there. It is not probable, though, that troops will be removed for some weeks yet or until the agent's authority is once more established and matters have assumed their normal course. Dr. V.T. McGillicuddy, formerly agent at Pine Ridge, and the best posted man on Kioax character in America, is at the Pine Ridge agency. He is there as an officer on the stall' of Governor Mellette. Asked to-day what he thought abont the situation, the Doctor predicted an after-clap in the shape of an investigation that would determine the responsibility for the scare. He did not care to criticise the conduct of any of the agents, but did indulge in some severe strictures on the Indian Bureau's policy. The practice of sending out inexperienced men as agents he especially condemned. The present trouble arose first because the discipline at the agency had been relaxed; second, because the Indians were not properly fed, and partially because the Messiah craze was a good excuse for a demonstration in the interest of righting the many wronss under which the Indians labor. The Indian has no idea of magnanimity, an . V r m all Vaa. n I 4 k nn m WOT rt I auu ud rv ilk uoai niuug tiuuuuii uiuiuiutingfor a time, but it will all break out sometime. These the Indian Bureau does not .seem to know. In the matter of beef issue, for instance, the bureau considers a beef a beef all the year around, but an animal that weighs 1,100 pounds in October will shrink during the winter to COO, and the horns, hoofs, hide and bones do not shrink. It is the edible portion that has evaporated. The Indian knows this if the department does not. Concerning Little Wound, of whom so much that is bad has been said,Dr. McGillicuddy said he was perfectly honest and trustworthy. During the Kitting Bull war Little Wound was one of General Crook's scouts and was always considered faithful and reliable. Big Uoad was a lighting man with Sitting Bull, but since then has abandoned the war-path and is as pood an Indian as lives now. What these men have said about their suffering from huniier can be depended on. Sitting Bull is mainly responsible for the war talk that has been going on. This old sinner has still a great influence among his own people, and has spent all his energy to stirring up strife. He relied on this Messiah craze to aid him in inducing the Sioux to revolt next spring, when forage would be plenty and the chance for success favorable, but t he craze grew too fast and there is no hope now for Sitting Bull's success. The Indians are not such fools as to tako the war-path with winter coming on so soon. Sitting Bull should be removed from the reservation, and the government should adopt a sensible business method of dealing with the Indians. At present the troops of General BrooKe are like those of the King of France they have marched up the hill and soon must march down again. All that is now wanted is to obtain a scape goat on whom to lay the blame, and Little Wound will likely bo the one. The wild stories that have been sot afloat are the work of parties whose money interest depends on having the troops kept at the agencies. GATHERING IN THE BAD LANDS. Indians Said to Be Concentrating Their Forces and Waiting for a Chance to Fight. Pierre, S. D., Nov. 27. While there is no very startling Indian news to-day there is plenty to confirm the news sent out last night. There is no doubt in the mind of any well-informed man that there is great possibility of serious trouble with the Sioux before the present unpleasantness blows over. The Indians are in a state of mind to fight if ever Indians were. All that is needed now is the first overt act to touch them off. If the order is enforced to arrest their leaders in the dance there is not the least question but it will lead to open hostilities, and the base of war will be on the ceded lands, and will begin near the Bad Lands, at a point eighty miles west of Pierre. Joe Wendel, an old Indian scout of fifty years' experience, says the Indians are acquainted with the passages through the Bad Lands, and have several trails leading north and south through them known only to themselves. Madson and Thompson, two ranchers who arrived this evening from eighty miles west of there, state that to-day they met a band of Indians with some one hundred ponies, going south, who were, evidently, bound for the camp on Pass creek, and had come from the Cheyenne country. This is only another indication that the Indians are gathering supplies and concentrating their forces near the entrance to the Bad Lands. Phillips Waldron, Holland and Crow Eagle left for the Bad Lands to-day to investigate the reports. BUFFALO BILL'S MISSION. On HI Way to Standing Rock Agency to Confer with Sitting Ball. Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 27. Buffalo Bill arrived this afternoon, accompanied by , his old friend, Frank Powell, known as 'White Beaver," and R. H. Haslan, known as "Pony Bob," who once rode 103 miles in eight hours and ten minutes. Special conveyances, with ' relays, were engaged to take the trio to Standing Rock agency. Buffalo Bill has a commission from General Miles, which is believed to be the most important of any issued since Sitting Bull's surrender. The party will go direct to Sitting Bull's camp, on Grand river. It will be rememhered that Sitting Bull did not come in on Saturday, the regular ration day, but sent word to Agent McLaughlin that his child was sick. It is believed that Buffalo Bill is sent out to get at the bottom of the Messiah craze, with almost unlimited authority to act This is Buffalo Bill's first visit to this section since the Custer massacre. ' No Trouble Expected In Indian Territory. St. Louis, Nov. 7. Gen. Wesley Merrit has received dispatches from Indian Territory to the effect that the Indians in the vicinity of Fort Reno are somewhat unsettled, doe to the Messiah craze, but that no trouble is feared. Their religious dances, however, are carried on with much fervor, and are participated in by Indians from other reservations. An Indian named Sitting Bull, a northern Arapahoe from the Shoshone reservation, has been very active spreading the craze and keeping up the excitement. A dispatch from Oklahoma City says: The Messiah craze has reached Oklahoma, and troops stationed at this city are hourly expecting orders to be sent to the seat of war. As an indication of the anxiety felt by the War Department at Washington, it is only necessary to state that Captain b tiles, in command of the troops at Okla

homa City, has received orders to march at a moment's notice. This order applies also to troops stationed at Elkins. Fort Sill, Kingfisher and Guthrie. Captain Stiles, while deprecating the idea of an Indian outbreak, remarked, senteutiously, that in case of such an occurence it would be a lasting solution of the Indian problem. 'oej' Cohen Thought to He the Messiah. Durango, Col, Nov. 27. A band of Navajo Indians were here to-day from their reservation in the southern part of the State. While they say "they are not in it," they show by their action they are greatly excited over the reports from Dakota, and it will take but little to induce them to join the Sioux. They would talk but little, and claimed to have some communication from the north. Their theory is that the Messiah over whom the Pine Kidge and Rosebud agency Indians are excited is none other than Isadore Cohen, who was known throughout southern Colorado as "Nosey" Cohen, a leader well acSuainted with their language and customs, lany of the southern Utes talk of the craze with but little interest, and seem to wish that all reports were true that the Good Spirit would come to them as to the Sioux, and restore the old days of Hintarrows and game. War Department Advices Reassuring, Washington', Nov. 27. The advices received by the War Department to-day from, the seat of the threatened Indian troubles are reassuring, and indicate a gradual subsiding of the ghost dance. The War Department officials believe that the presence of the increased military force in that locality is beginning to have a salutary effect on the turbulent spirits among the Indians. ' Governor Mellette Work. Vekmillion, S. D., Nov. 27. Governor Mellette Is doing all in bis power to settle the Indian trouble without delay, and to-, day ordered the 150 stands of arms deposited here sent to Rapid City. He has also ordered Companies A and B of the militia to be in readiness to march at once. The Governor says be proposes' to stop at once the killing of cattle andthe burning of Bettiers' homes. Crossed Into Nebraska. . Omaiia, Neb., Nov. 27. A dispatch received to-ni gh t reports that several hundred Indians from Rosebud agency have crossed the line into Nebraska, and are now encamped on Burton creek, in Kega Papa county.

PARNELL'S CHIEF ADYISERS

Why They Are Anxious He Should Retain His Leadership of Nationalists. Prominent Liberals Still Insist fie Should Re sign Balfour's Land Bill Modified and Introduced in the Commons. PARNELL'S SUFPORTERS. They Are Made Up Chiefly of Men Who Depend on Him fur Seat In Parliament. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London. Nov. 27. An analysis of the vote in the various meetings of the Parnellites on the question of Mr. Parnell's retention of the leadership, shows that the most eminent members of the parlimentary group favor Mr. Parnell's retirement, while the fifty men who were insistent in season and out of season npon his remaining at the head of affairs in spite of everything, were those of comparatively minor ability or individualism. This solid phalanx of half a hundred was made up of men who are the most dependent npon the salaries of which Mr. Parnell has it in his power to distribute by virtue of his undisputed privilege of naming the parliamentary candidates in the various Irish districts. It is learned that Mr. Parneli put the direct question to every man in the room, "Are you going to desert meP The ordeal was a ditlicult one for these dependent members to withstand; still, it is believed that if Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon come out flatly in favor of Mr. FarnelTs retirement, there will be found enough wavering in the ranks of the faithful to make up a majority against Mr. Parnell's continuance in office. The news that Mr. O'Brien had cabled his opinion that the Irish party shoujd accede to Mr. Gladstone's views in the Parnell matter created a marked sensation today, and was received with joy by the English Liberals and with satisfaction by many of the Irish members, though as it was understood that Mr. O'Brien spoke only for himself, and not for his fellowenvoys, and also that his own decision was not described as final, the cablegram was not looked upon as bringing matters much nearer their conclusion. The ease with which the'land bill was put through its preliminary stages to-day was a surprise, in view of the stubborn resistance made to it at every stage on former occasions. The government members are jubilant over the series of accidents lucky for them, though disastrous for others which has weakened the opposition, and they are making all the hay they canx while the sun shines. The attitude of the two great parties has been completely changed by the recent happenings. The Liberals, who, under the leadership of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Morley, were prepared for an active assault upon the government, seem paralyzed, and the Tories, instead of being on the defensive, are aggressive and triumphant. Lord Spencer, in a speech at Bromloy this evening, said the opinion of the Liberals of England was clearly against Mr. Parnell's continuance in the leadership of his party. The electors rightly put a high value upon the character of public men. Mr. Gladstone's letter had struck a note in harmony with the feelings of all Liberals. Thelrish party. Lord Spencer said, had been too severely criticised on acconnt of the attitude they had taken, but he could not blame them for not repudiating Mr. Parnell at once. JCries of "Hear, hear." They owed a debt of deepest gratitude to Mr. Parnell. The members of the Irish party were not indifferent to moral considerations, but loyalty to their trusted leader had made them hesitate before pronouncing against him. He honored them for not, in a moment, throwing over their leader. When the higher considerations of the permanent welfare of the country came into operation they would respond to the appeal of the English Liberals and ask Mr. Parnell to retire. If they did not do this the Irish cause would be rolled back and the ship which was just at the mouth of the harbor would be driven by storms out into the oceauvIt would be a mighty misfortune to both Ire land and the empire. The Liberals, even if Mr. Parnell remained at the head of his party, would not alter theiropinions. They would still resist, coercion, but they would cut away the old policy and try a new one. Cheers. Mr. Parnell hl frequent conversations with Mr. Healy during the day, but the latter is very reticent and refuses to say anything about the Irish leader's intentions. Mr. .Parnell appears to be in buyont spirits and splendid health. A noticeable incident occurred in the House of Commons when Mr. Parnell went to record his vote on Mr. Laboucheres's amendment. In going from his seat Parnell had to pass the Liberal benches, and it was remarked that his late allies studiously ignored him. It is stated that if Mr. Parnell remains in the leadership of the Irish party Mr. Sexton and other Irish members of Parliament will apply for the Chiltem Hundreds and offer themselves for re election in order to test? the feeling of tbelectors. A hurried meeting of the Nationalists was called in the conference room of the House of Commons to-night. Mr. Parnell was not present. The meeting was held ostensibly for the purpose of arriving at an agreement not to mention recent events publicly until after the meeting on Monday, but great secrecy was observed as to what was really done. Mr. Sexton emphatically denies the statement that he was aware ot the existence of Mr. Gladstone's letter to Mr. Morley at the time the Nationtionalist meeting was held on Tuesday. The The whole party is annoyed at leaking out of the proceedings of the meeting, as it. indicates a violation of the pledge of secrecy. Th3 Press Association says that Parnell considers that he has been unfairly treated by some of his colleagues, who practically owe their positions to him. He also feels strongly about Mr. Gladstone's attitude and is more determined than ever to remain. If Monday's meeting opposes him, he will appeal to the Irish people. m Canon Doyle, in a letter to the Nationalist press, denonnces as the most shocking of scandals the futile attempts made to whitewash the unfortunate Parnli atirl strongly condemns Mr. McCarthy's hint A. 1 A.

Cincinnati, Nov. 27. William O'Brien said to a reporter this morning: "The Irish members in this country will meet at the Burnet House here to-morrow. I have no answer from !iiy cablegram to England as yet. I can say but little until after our meeting to-morrow, but I don't think Parnell will resign. I will say this, however, that the Tories will be disappointed in their hopes that the Irish Liberal party will split. When this matter is finally settled we will be as strong as ever. I don't know now what that settlement will be." BALFOUR'S IRISH LAND BILL. The First Measure Simplified and Reintroduced in the House of Commons. London, Nov. 27. In the House of Commons to-day Mr. Spencer asked the government, in view of the recent financial crisis in London, to introduce a bill to amend the bank act of 1841 by providing for the issue of one-pound notes. Mr. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, declined to make any statement on the subject. Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, then introduced the Irish land bill. He said the government policy was the same as in 1SS9, but for simplicity the bill had been cut in half. Both portions, however, were practically the same as in the bill of 1SS9. One variation of the present from that cf last year was that it met in some degree Mr. Parnell's views. Mr. Parnell had suggested that the privilege of purchase be confined to tenants whose holdings were under 50 valuation. Though he Mr. Balfour could not accept exactly that limitation, he had altered the scope of the bill by excluding all purely grazing farms and farms whose tenants did not reside on them Among , other chances embodied in

the new bill, one had reference to the objection taken at the last session to a limit of twenty years' purchase then proposed. That

limit did not appear in the new bill. Cries of "Hear, hear." J Further power would be given the v iceroy to extend the period of rive years, dm in i? which 8 per cent, of the purchase money was payable. In regard to increasing the powers of local authorities, Mr. Balfour said he considered the original proposals therefor in the bill were the best that could be devised. Land purchase in Ireland was not a local question at all. The government was using the British credit to carry out this vital reform, not primarily for the benefit of this conntry or that, but for the benefit of the empire as a whole. Conservative cheers, Another consideration was the fact that the land question in Ireland was largely used for political objects. It would be absurd. therefore, to leave to communities nnaer the incitement of agitators, to determine whether they shonld adopt a remedy, going to the root of agrarian discontent, liarnellite laughter. If they were to give local control in any form it ought to be by a plebiscite of rate-payers, enabling them, under the safeguard of the ballot, to vote upon the question of srrantinc a contingent portion of the guarantee fund for each county. . Mr. Labouchere moved an amendment against pledging the imperial credit for the purchase of land until the country should have given its consent at a general election. Mr. Lab ou chore's amendment was re jected by a vote of 208 to 117. Mr. Glad stone, hir William v ernon-liarcourt ana Mr. Morley walked out before the vote was taken. Mr. Parnell and all the Parnellite members voted with the government. The bill was then given its first reading amid the cheers of the government supporters. When the Parnellites were flocking into the division lobby to vote on Mr. Labonchere's amendment, there was a sudden, unusual movement, which was seemingly instigated by- Mr. Healy, who, with Mr. Sexton and a large contingent, turned back and abstained from voting, while Mr. Parnell, Mr. Power, and about thirty others, supported the government. GENERAL FORERUN NEWS. - Case of Superficial Lupus Cared by Koch's Lymph A French Reason. Berlin, Nov. 27. A case? of superficial lupus has been cured by injections of Dr. Koch's lymph without subsequent surgical aid. Numerous detached places in theskiu of the patient where formerly there were lupus pores . are now again visible, and the hair is growing again over the portion of the sKin that was allectod. The Post publishes a statement by Dr. Danelius, a colleague of Dr. Levy, in which he admits that 500 marks was , asked and paid for a single injection of Professor Koch's lymph. The money was not paid to Dr. Levy, but to Drs. Cornel and Dengol. It is reported that Professor Koch has declined to further supply either L,evy or Dengol with lymph. The French government will not allow the importation into France of Professor Koch's lymph. The refusal of the customs officials on the frontier to admit the lymph sent to M. Pasteur by Professor Koch was based on the ground that the importation of medicines, the composition of which is not known, is illegal, a law prohibiting 6uch importations being in existence. Public Debt of France. Paris, Nov. 27. M. Pelletan has presented to the budget committee a report on the financial situation of France.

Bow Joaquin Sillier Saved Himself and Money from Two Western Cut-Throats. December St. Nicholas. I was lying ice-bound at Lewiston, Ida. Men wanted to seed money below to their friends or families; merchants, anticipating the tremendous rush, must get letters through the snow to Walla Walla. Would I gof Could 1 got The snow was deep. The trails, over open and monotonous mountains, were drifted full. Could any living man face the drifting snow and find his way to Walla Walla? At first the merchants had tried to hire Indians to undertake the trip and deliver the letters. Not one conld bo found to go. When the storm abated a little, the man who kept the ferry across the Shdshonee river scraped off the snow, and cutting down the upheaved blocks of ice made it possible to cross with a horse. At first I meant only to carry the letters. But having finally consented to take a little gold for one merchant, I soon found 1 should lose friends if I did not take sold for othersj - The result, was that I had to take gold worth nearly $10,000, A few muffled-up friends came down to the river bank to see me off. It was a great event. For two weeks we had not had a line from the outer world, and meantime the civil war was raging in all its terrible fury. As I set out that bleak and icy morning, after I had mounted my plunging pony. I saw in the crowd several faces that I did not liko. There was Dave English, who was hung on that spot with several of his followers not forty days later; there was Boone Helm, hung in Montana: Cherokee Bob, killeddn Millersburg; and also Canada Joe. This last lived with some low Indians a little way down the river. So when he rode ahead of me I was rather glad than otherwise, for I felt that he would not go far. I kept -watch of him, however, and when I saw that he skulked around under the hill, as if ho were going home, and then finally got back into thtf trail, I knew there

was trouble ahead. But the Rubicon" was now behind. My impetuous horse was plunging in the snow, and I was soon tearing through the storm up the hill. Once fairly on my way, I looked back below. Dave English and Boon Helm were bidding good-bye to two mounted cowboys at the ferry-house. Ten minutes later, as I looked back through the blinding snow, I saw that these two desperate fellows were following me. True, there was nothing criminal in that. The two highwaymen had a right to ride behind me if they wished. And Canada Joe had just as good a right to ride ahead of me. But to be on a horse deep in the blinding snow and loaded down with gold was bad enough. To have a desperado blockiug the narrow trail before you with his two friends behind you was tearful! I had two six-shooters close at hand under the bear-skin flap of my saddle-bag where the gold was. I kept inv left hand in my pocket, where lay a small six-shooter warm and ready. Once, as the drifting and blinding snow broke away up the mountain, 1 saw Canada Joe with his head bent down in the storm still pushing on ahead of me at a safe distance. A few moments after, as 1 crossed and climbed the farther bank of an ugly canyon, the two robbers came close enough to hail me. One of them held up a bottle. They evidently intended to overtake me if they could, and profess to bo friendly. .This I must not allow. I urg demy ambitious horse to his best. Bnt, to my dismay, as 1 hastened up a narrow pass I found that 1 was not far behind Canada Joe. This low-browed, black fellow was reported to be the worst man in all that country. And that was saying he was bad indeed. 1 was in a tight place now, and had to think fast. My first plan was to ride forward and face this man before the others came up. But I was really afraid of him. It seemed a much easier task to turn and kill the two rear men and get back to town. But, no! No! All this was abandoned almost as soon as thought of. In those days, even the most desperate had certain rights which their surviving friends would enforce. I was now but a few hundred yards behind Canada Joe. So far as I could find out, the robbers were closing in on me. But we had ridden over the roughest part of the road, and were within a few miles of the high plateau, so that the wind was tearing past in a gale, and the drifting snow almost blinded me. . Suddenly I had a new thought. Why not take to the left, gain the plateau by a new route, and let these bloodthirsty robbers close their net without having me inside! I rose iu my saddle with excitement at the idea, and, striking spurs to my brave horse, I was soon climbing up the gradual slope at a gallop. Ah! but I was glad! Gallop, gallop, gallop! I seemed to hear many horses! Turning my head suddenly over my shoulder, 1 saw my two pursuers not a hundred irards behind me. They shouted! I was now on the high plateau and the snow was not so deep. Gallop! gallop! gallop! Canada Joe thank heaven! was away to the right, and fast falling behind. Gallop! gallop! gallop! I was gaining on the robbers and they knew it. Fainter and fainter came their curses and their shouts. And then; Whiz! Crack! Thud! 1 looked back and eaw that they both

Reed and Mc Kin ley Imbued with the True Faith The Latter Talks on the Tariff Washington Special to Chicago Inter Ocean. 'Speaker Reed has arrived, full of vigor. -There is no uncertainty in his tone. If any one anywhere wishes to raise the white flag he will hnd no help from the Speaker's chair. Mr. Keed reiterates the importance of having every Republican in his seat from the tiret day to the last of the session, lie added, however, that there had been na special etlorts on his part to secure this attendance, lie felt and he supposed every Republican member felt the obvious neccs- 1 sity of preserving a quorum during tho session, and he baa no doubt the members would be here. The emphasis which Mr. Reed gives to this utterance is in line witb the feeling of the President. Every Repub lican member who has been at the White House during the past ten days has heard the President praise those members who were faithful to their posts during tho long session, and express the hope that there would be no absent ones during the next three months. It is this feeling which has caused the Impression to go forth that no Congressman will bo selected to till vacant official positions until the close of this session on the 4th of March. Mr. McKinley is here also, and has not relaxed his enthusiasm in the cause of protection or his confidence in the ultimate triumph of that policy. He believes in the McKinley bill, and that time will vindicate its enactment. Mr. McKinley says: "The bill was less than four weeks old when the elections occurred. Misrepresentation ruled the Lour; The bill itself was not well understood by th people. This could not have been otherwise. Its contrasts with the existing law therefore were not seen or known by the great body of the people. I am told since I came here that less than oO.OOO copies of the new tariff bill, as contrasted with tho old law, were put in circulation, and while the newspapers published the law itnelf, they did'not, so far as 1 am aware, publish it in comparison with the old law or the Mills bill." How long do you think it will take the bill to be thoroughly understood!" "Well, we ought to know of its practical operations in the course of the next two years. It always takes at least that length of time for business to adjnst itself to new tariff legislation." "That being the case, will the Rennblican party refrain from any further tariH legislation "I cannot believe," said Major McKinley, with a great deal of emphasis, "that the Republican party will want to amend or modify a law which has so recently been passed with practical unanimitv in both branches of Congress and which has as yet had no trial, and I hear of no such suggestion from any Republican Representative anywhere. The law embodies Repub- . lican convictions and records the verdict of the people spoken in 18S8. In my judgment the Republican party will take no backward step on this question." "Will the tariff be an issue in the next presidential campaign!'' "I don't see how it can be otherwise if the leaders of the Democratic party continae to attack the protective system. The next House of Representatives, which is Democratic, is committed to a revision of the tariff upon the lines of free trade, or a tariff for revenue only. That was the sole issue which was presented to the people in 18S8. It has been renewed by the leaders of the party, from Mr. Cleveland down, before and since the recent election. The lirst session of the Fifty-second Congress will, therefore, witness the framing of a tariff bill which will embody Democratio convictions and purposes regarding the tariff. That will be in 1S91-SK. How can we avoid presenting that issue again before the people!" The Iconoclaat at Work. Philadelphia North American. One by one do our fond illusions vanish. Dr. Hall, a New England lecturer, states that the average expense of a Spanish grandee is about 3 per wedc, board and washing included. Who will tigh fcr &
