THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1892.

That ho still intends to write such a letter is believed by some of his friends. They will not bo surprised if it is made pnblto -within three weeks. Tho letter would have already been published but for the protestations of friends. Ho is now believed to be merely awaiting developments, which these friends houa may attend the moroxnent they hare pnt under way. Two weeks. igo. In the city of New York, there was a conference of ume of tho most prominent Cleveland men in this State. They met at a dinner given in honor of Judge Herrick, of this city. There wero present besides Judge Herrick, Congressman Tracy and Matthew Hale, of Albany; Kobert .Maxwell, of Genesee conntv, formerly superintendent of insurance; Daniel 21aon. of Ogdensburg. who wm collector of th port under Cleveland: Wilson Bisell. the ex-1'resulcnt'a loriuer law partner in Bullalo; Walter II. Uunn, a former clerk of the Assembly, and last, but not by any means least, V. K. Grace, ex-Mayor ot v York. Others wero in attendance, if not at the dinner itself, at one or more of tho conferences that took place that day. JSince then these gentlemen have had other meetings in ditierent parts of th State and a sort of an agreement was reached to coneider what could be done in the way of making a fight for the control of the New York delegation to the national convention. There was no explicit agreement that a right should be made, but they resolved to see what could be done what the prospects were of getting at least sufficient number of delegates to refute the claims of the friends of Hill that New York was unanimously for his nomination as President. Atthevcr7 first meeting they were dismayed by tho statement that Mr." Cleveland so far despaired of success that he bad made up his mind to withdraw irom tho race. To at least ono pcrmnal friend here in Albany he was reported to bavo said that the whole State seemed to be against him. There was tho first difficulty that this new political junta nad to overcome. They sent to the ex-1'resident and begged bim cot to write a letter, at any rate nntil they could look over the ground, lie took their advice end went toLonisiana. Then began a time of activity with his friends. The first public manifestation of this was the publication of the letter iu the club paper of the Ke form Clnb of New York, signed by K. Jlllery Anderson, protesting against the holding of an early State contention. Since then Cleveland men have boen holding secret conferences in most of the cities of the State, and, presumably, in in some of the country towns, and comparing notes as to what they can do at the primaries. Whenever they have been asked about the prospect, they speak in a xuoaC despairing tone. Most of them say it would bo folly to begin a contest. Mr. Cleveland has been quoted as advising them th.it if the majority of the party tin. 4 to be against him. they must cot reek to create any factional diilerences. as Le is too good a Democrat not to be willing cheerfully to bow to the will of that majtrity. A gentleman who has the very best of ftonrces of political information in this ht&to ears that he is confident Mr. Cleveland will write and publish his letter of withdrawal from the presidential race within three weeks, lie says the feeling of Mr. Cleveland is that nothing should be dune which tnmht by any means tend to disrupt the party, and that he will insist upon his friends fcllowinghis advice. Now the Hill followers don't believe a word of all this. They are in something of a 11 utter, and giy that their rivals aro seeking to create the impression that they have no chance of success for the punposeof deceiving their adversaries and winning by a andden dash on the primaries from under rover. It Is certain that the Hill men believe that organization is going on in secret for a contest, and that part of the plan is to deceive them. It is hard to say whether these facts are well grounded, though they are probably born of ignorance as to the real intention of the Cleveland men. StUsourl Farors Cleveland. St. Louis, Jan. 7.

Several Presidents of the National Ball League Opposed to the New Agreement. Chicago. Jan. 27. President Hart, of the Chicago Base-ball Club, and President Robinson, of the Cleveland club, have informed President IlOgcra, of Philadelphia, that they do not approve tho proposed national agreement, and will not vote for it unless the document is materially changed. Mr. Hart says President Brush, of Cincinnati, will alto oppose the adoption of the agreement as it now stands. The principal objection advanced by President Hart is that tho Western League willnotbecomeaparty to the agreement. He says that should tho "drafting" system prevail, except between seasons, the plans of the Western League would be entirely disarranged. Rather than abandon these plans, which contemplate making tho clubs in the Western organisation as nearly enual in playing strength as possible. Mr. llart believes the Western League would forego national agreement protection, and that the Eastern League, which is incubating, would follow the Western League. He declares the charges for protection to be too excessive. 875,000 Refuted for Advertiser. New York. Jan. 27. The sale of Senator Leland Stanford's horsos was continued today.

TIIE WOULD 3IAY S EVE ft KNOW The Fall Horror of the Famine Now Prevailing in Jlasta. St. Petersburg. Jan. 27. Adriees received here from the government of Vorronezh show that matters in that part of the faimne-strlcken districts are going from bad to worse. The peasants have become exasperated by their Bufferings from hunger and sickness, and in a blind way have, turned their resentment against the doctors for the latters failure to efiect cures. This same course was followed during the cholera epidemic which ravaged that pait of the empire, and the doctors, having before them .the memory of the fate of the medical men in cholera times, have fled in terror from the ignorant peasantry. In many villages in Voronezh the military have been called npon to suppress the disorders. In one instance Zomski Natchanlnik appealed to the military to preserve order in his district, whereupon the peasants sent a depntatiou to him with a very plaiu Intimation that if the soldiers touched a single person vengeance would be wreaked npon M. Xatchanlnik himself. The deputation was not at all backward in describing the form of the vengeance the peasants would take, but stated that in the event of the soldiers troubling the peasants they would burn M. Xatchanlnik's house and kill him and the members of his family. M. Natchanlnik was badly frightened, for be had every reason to know that the peasants would not hesitate to carry the threats into execution. They, in fact, practically defied the authorities to prevent them doing as they pleased. Troops had been sent in response to tho request of the Zeniski. but the threats of the deputation had such an o fleet on him that he wub glad to pray the c-Oicer in charge of tho troops to leave quietly with his command. At Intambov, another of the faminostricktn districts, the peasants have given another instance of their malevolent spirit. They tried to derail a passenger train by destroying a portion of the line. Fortunately the olficials detected the damace, and a very serious accident was with difficulty averted. The ditticnlty of learning the true condition of affairs in the famine district is illustrated by a story told of an occurrence which took place at a recent meeting of the famine relief committee in St. Petersburg. The Czarewitcb. who is president of the comnfittee, was conversing with one who bad Just returned from a tour of Inspection in the famine districts. The man gave instances of the heart-rending scenes he had witnessed. The Czarewitcb listened to the pitiful details with an incredulous ear, all the time twirling his mustache. Presently he said: I believe you are exaggerating, " The man thereupon deemed it prudent to retire. This incident has had a deterrent effect on those best acauainted with the actual conditions prevailing in the alilioted districts, and they display a very natural hesitancy In imparting their knowledge to others. It may be said, however, that the stories of distress and misery hitherto pub lished fall far short of the facts, and it is believed that the world will never know the full horror of the famine now prevailing in so many districts of Russia. A CARD FKOM VICTORIA. Tno Weight of Her Grief Over the Death of the Duke of Clarence Eloquently Told, e'reclal to the Ir.Alanspo'.ls Journal. London. Jan. 27. The ltoyal Gazette this evening published the following announcement from the Queen in relation to the death of the Duke of Clarence: "I must again give expression to my deep sense of the loyalty and atfectionato sympathy evinced by my subjects in every part of my empire on an occasion more sad than any, save one. which has befallen me and mine, as well as tho nation, in the overwhelming misfortune of the death of my dearly beloved grandson, suddenly cut off in the flower of his age, full of promise for the future. That he was so amiable and gentle, and endearing himself to all, renders it hard for his sorely-stricken parents, hit dear young bride and fond graudraother to bow with submission to the inscrutable decrees of Providence. The sympathy of millions, touchingly expressed, is deeply gratifying, and I wish in our name, and the name of our children, to expross our heart's warm gratitude for these testimonials of sympathy with ns in appreciation of our dear grandson, whom I loved as a son, and whose devotion to me was as great as that of a son could be. My bereavements of the last thirty years of my reign have indeed been heavy, and though labors, anxieties and responsibilities inseparable from my position have also been great, yet it is my earnest prayer that God will continue to give me health and strength to work for the good and happiness of my dear conntry and empire while life lasts." This utterance of the Queen is a subject of general comment everywhere, and particularly the fact that although she has lost two children, she counts the death of the Duke of Clarence as a bereavement second only to the death of the Prince Consort, thus confirming what has been said of her Majesty's deep ailection for her dead grandson. Tho royal expression is also, it is thought, intended to set at rest rumors as to her Majesty's health, as she pravs that she may be continued in good health, tbns averring that she is in good health at present. It is thought singular, also, that her Majesty should have chosen the Kaiser's birthday on the date for tho issue of hor cards of thanks for pnblie sympathy, and it is suggested that a rebuke is intended for the hamptlous grandson who is reveling in festivity, while his rclatlics aro plunged in griof. MAY BECOME A TLACUE. What an English Doctor Says Abont Influenza The Death Rate In Britain. London. Jan. 27. Tho deaths in London last week were at the rate of forty-six per thousand per year of the inhabitants, an increase of six over the rate of the preceding week. The births during the week were 2.C23 and tho deaths 3. TCI. Tho births were 58 below those of the week before. The deaths during the past week were 1.TC2 above the average of tho past decade. At Brighton the death rate was (X).9 per l.CU), the highest in any town in Great Iiritain. Medical Advisor Since, addressing a meeting of the directors of a large lifo insurance company, stated that the epidemic of influenza hail cost the company two and a half times as much as did the cholera epidemic of 1312. Dr. bniee said he considered that the persons up to forty years of age were in no danger of death from attacks of inllueeza. Between forty and sixty-live year the chances of death increased from 15 to S3 per c;ut. After sixty-live years, unless tho disease was destroyed immediately, tbo victims would ba left without a traco of constitution. Every country in Europe has sullered, ho added, from local outbreaks ofcerebro sninal meningitis followed by inllntrnza, which destroyed 00 percent of those attacked. Dr. bmee declared that he saw no reason whv the disease at any tinio should not thiow oil its comparatively benign character and appear in its true inaiiginity, which would create terror throughout tho world. A dispatch from lierlin says: The inHuenza is so prevalent in Saxony that energetic measures have been adopted to prevent, so far as possible, the spread of the infection by means of publio assemblages. With this object in view the authorities have ordered eight colleges and a large number of smaller schools to be closed until the wave of disease subsides. LUCKLESS MRS. OSBORNE. The IlrMe-IIleet Who Stole the UargTeares Jewels rnmned by the Police. London, Jan. 27. A new and most unpleasant feature in the Oiborne-IIargreavea ttolen-jowel case has developed. Yesterday

Captain Osborne, the husband of the lady who has practically been convicted of stealing Mrs. liargreaves's jewelry, forwarded to the treasury the sum of &0, the amount paid by Messrs. Spink & Sons, the jewelers who purchased the pearls from Mrs. Osborne. This money was to be refunded to the jewelers, who have already given up the pearls to Mrs. Iiargreaves. But the police authorities decline to sive up the possession of the indorsed bank notes by which the identity of Mrs. Osborne as the person who sold the pearls to Messrs. Spink fc Sons was established. These notes are the identical ones paid to Mrs. Osborne by the jewelers, and as they bear her signature, it is intended to use them ns evidence against her. Thus a new trial is looked for. Captain Osborne is doing every thing possible to protect his wife, but in spite of this the police are confident that they will soon have her in custody.. It is intended to press the case against her to the f nil extent of the law. The exact whereabouts of Mrs. Osborne are not generally known, but she is popularly supposed to bo in Spain, whence, a certain interesting event having taken place, she was to return and take her trial. Mrs. Hargroaves. the owner of the recovered jewelry, in an interview on the subject, said: "I am positively assured by the best possible aathoritv that Mrs. Osborne does not intend to return to England, nor will any particular activity be displayed to enforce tier return." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Minister Retd Is Not Negotiating for the Free Admission Here of Freneh Wines and Silks. Pari?. Jan. 27. Mr. Whitelaw Reid. the United States minister, has for the past week been conGned to his residence by a slight attack of influenza. lie has now recovered, but his physicians do not allow him to leave the house, fearing that he might sutler a relapse. A representative of tho press called upon the minister to-day and showed bim a nnmber of articles, which were recently published in American papers, in which it was alleged that negotiations were being carried on in Paris lor reductions in the American duties on silks and wines in return for reciprocal advantages in the French duties. After Mr. Keid had read the articles, he said: "There is nothing in it;" adding. "I am not at liberty to tell what the negotiations were about. You must inquire of our State Department, but you can say 1 have not made nor nave I been authorized to make any suggestions affecting silks or wines." Refused to Obey the Pope's Mandate. Paris, Jan. 27. Mgr. Richard. Cardinal Archbishop of Paris, who, a few days ago, received a letter from the Pope, in which he was requested to instruct the French clergy to cease all opposition to the republic, and to follow to the utmost tho Pope'a policy of conciliation, has written a letter to bis Holiness declaringthat he is unable to communicate to the French bishops the requests contained in tho Pope's letter. Cardinal iiichard gives as bis reason for not obeying the mandate of the Pope that he does not consider it opportune- to do so. This reply of Cardinal Richard has made a bad impression at the Vatican, where it is believed that the action of the Cardinal is dao to the inilacnceof the Royalists. The Kaiser lias a Birthday.

SHORT AND SAVAGE FIGI1T.

Cal McCarthy Knocks Oat Tommy Calla-haa in Fourteen Bounds at err Urletns. m Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Orleans, Jan. 27. A large and enthuaiaatio crowd gathered to-night in the Olympic Club to see tho match between Cal McCarthy, who has a national reputation, and Tommy Callaghan, who was, until recently, quite unknown in this city, and who has fought no noteworthy battle since coming to this country. When they reached the club this evening and weighed, each had HSU, two pounds and a quarter over weight. The purse was J2.C00, of which $500 was to go to the loser, and the fight was of special prominence, because Dixon has agreed to a match with the winner before the Olympic Club. Dixon is the champion of the class, and up to to-night McCarthy ranked next to him. The odds before the light were slightly in favor of McCarthy, doe perhaps to the fact that a well-authenticated rumor had gained ground this week that Callaghan had senonsiy injured his band in skylarking at the bay. The gathering to-night numbered over throe thousand. The men wore only trunks, in suite of the cold. The light started promptly after the men got in the ring. The battle was comparatively short, sharp and decisive, and in point of slugging, as well as scientilically, was one of tUo best that has been fought here. At tho opening McCarthy started immediately on the offensive. His opponent was considerably taller and much longer in react, but the little fellow was agile and full of tricks. Both men were splendid in dodging and in escaping punishment, and the cold weather made them active. McCarthy fell several times in the beginning from his own exertions. The first four rounds wero specially vicious, McCarthy loading and landing principally on the body and face, and keeping up bis haramenug until Callaghan's white 6kin had been reddened. McCarthy used hi left continuously, endeavoring to upper-cut his Irish antagonist. In tho sixth McCarthy pushed and jabbed Callaghan several times on the jaw, face and ribs, Callaghan coming back with bis leftou the face. McCarthy played frequently for the stomach, but the Irish man managed to cither stop any dangerous blows or to wiggle out of the way. Callaghan forced the fighting in the ninth and linitered McCarthy with several straight arm punches in the face. Then tbey clinched, and when thoy broke away McCarthy swung his left advantageously, hitting hard and often, but apparently not doing any damage. Both were fresh in the tenth, and the round was marked ly clover, heavy righting, in which both men used their left bauds, keeping the right iu reserve. A punch in the mouth cut Callaghan. and lirst blood was claimed by McCarthy and allowed. In the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth McCarthy bad a shade the better of the fighting, managing to land several swinging blows on various parts of the face and body. Both men were extremely clever in dodging, and in that way saved themselves from defeat. When the fourteenth round opened it was still anybody's fight, although McCarthy, up to that time, bad shown more skill, handling himself better than his wily opponent. He continued to land and get away, nnd kept himself ready for an opening. Callaghan started in with a rush, and McCarthy, to prevent mischief, clinohed, and there was some in-tighting. and until the referoe forced the men to break away McCarthy planted his left heavily on his opponent's body and then smashed away at Callaghan's face. lie continued to force the lighting, and feinting with his right shot his left out and struck Callaghan on the ribs. Then they squared oft again and while they were near each other McCarthy let out his left like a rifle ball and caught Callaghan sharply in the stomach. Callaahan reeled and went down. As he did so McCarthy caught bim in the jaw with his right but, the blow in the stomach did the work, Callaghan cnrled up on the ground in a dead faint, and when the referee had counted ten be was still lying there and the fight had been won and lost. McCarthy helped to pick up his victim.who was completely done up. . ' t. I'm m , J.ntti LICKS CP. $333,000. Kow of TJnltdlng In Cincinnati Burned, Threatening the St. Nicholas.

The entiro tiro department was called out, and succeeded iu preventing the further spread of the Hames. A second fire, at 11 o'clock to-night, sounded two alarms. It callod engines from the Fonrth-street fire when they could hardly be spared to go to a tire in tho freight shed of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton railway, near the Cincinnati grain elevator. The elevator. was scorched, but not seriously injured. The shed was full of freight. The tiro destroyed the shed and the freight was ex posed to both lire and water.

Cattle Affected with the Disease Are Not Unfit for Food, So Veterinarians Say. PniLADELPniA, Jan. 27. The results of a special investigation made by Dr. Simon J. J. Harder and Dr. Kobert Formad, of the University Veterinary iSchool. were presented last night at a meeting of the Philadelphia Society of Veterinary Medicine. The investigation was on the subject of actinomycosis or lump jaw, common among cattle, and which has been declared to render the meat of the affected animal unfit for food. The investigators find, first, that the disease is a local one, being rarely found outside of the bead and neck; and second, that there is no case on record where the disease has been transmitted to a man from eating the diseased meat. The disease comes from a vegetable fungus found on many plants, but especially in the husk of barley, and the germ probably finds lodgment in the jaw of the animal through a broken tooth or a slight cut in the gums. The conclusion at which Drs. Hargerand Formad arrived is, therefore, that where the lungs, liver and other organs are found not to be affected it is probably safe to use the meat, the head and neek having been removed from the carcass, and they see no reason why such animal should not be sold after proper inspection. These conclusions agree substantially with those of Drs. Crnikshank, of London; Xocard, of Paris, and lvanov, of Moscow, who are recognized as authorities in Europe where meat from cattle allected with lump jaw only in the head is invariably sold. DANCING AND DYING. The Grip Attacks the Ghost Dancers and Thins Their Ranks Gone to Meet the Messiah. Erf rial to the Indianapolis Journal Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 7. Large nnmbers of the Pawnee, Otoe and Miesouri Indians are dying daily of la srippe. Sixteen of the former tribe died in a single day from this disease, brought on by exposure at the ghost dances which they are still keeping up. The Pawnoe Indian who claims to be the prophet of the coming Messiah has taken advantage of the large number dying and now proclaims that those who die am tho eleot who are called away to meet the coming Savior and will return with hitn as a body-guard. Consequently all the braves are axinus to die and many abuse themselves and lieout doors exposed, hoping to bo called with the elect. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. A boy named Wesch was burned to death in a tenement-house in Allegheny City, Pa., Tuesday night. A Baltimore & Ohio freight train of forty five cars was wrecked and burned at Principio Hill, Md.. yesterday. The total nnmber of deaths reported to the New York health oQico yesterday was 154. Six of these were from the grin. The captain, chief officer, third engineer and a fireman of the steamer Maria died while en routo to New York from Brazilian ports. The crew of the'eruiser Baltimore have sent overland from California to the Baltimore Sun a magnificent oil painting of the Baltimore. Burglars made a raid Tuesday night on the Union Bank, of Wilton, la. They opened the safe and got away with $1,000 in paper and silver and gold. The fight at San Francisco Tuesday night at the Pastime Club between Pago and Ducas was very unsatisfactory, being but little more than a walk around. The battle was awarded to Page in the fifty-fifth round. The world's fair is to have a postoffice large etiough to supply hourly malls to 150.100 exhibitors and the force to manage it will bo between three and four hundred men. Such is the cist of the plans of the Postal Department, as stated by Inspector Stoddard, who arrived in Chicago yesterday. Amply Vindicated. Philadelphia Press. Minister Egan is amply vindicated from every chargo made against him by the record and by President Harrison's message. He has done his duty under trying circumstances, with strict reference to the claims of humanity, the obligations of a neutral, and his position as tho representative of a great and friendly republic. Mr. Egan camo to his work, as most of our diplomatist do, without previous training or experience, and the general verdict will be that, like Mr. Washburne in Paris, he has acquitted himself with ability, courage and independence. New York's Missing Scows. New Yorf, Jan. 7. The British steamer Stronton arrived at quarantine this afternoon, and reports that on yesterday afternoon, at 3:80, she passed two scows adrift about three miles oil Long Branch, and three miles south of them sighted a tng-boat which waa apparently anchored, but which may possibly have been disabled. It is thought that this may bo the missing tug Webster, which has not yet been heard from. Kockaway station reports that the tug Emma A. Cross is coining in under the beach with two scows in tow, and thinks they are the two scows that wero anchored nnder tho beach and blown to sea yesterday. Willi tig to Resume Work. riTTsnuRO.

TIIE AFFAIR OF QUALLAII IIATTOO. A Case In Which the Wrongs of American Citizens Were Promptly Redressed. New York t ;m. Among the minor wars in which the United States government has engaged to make its dag respected and ita eitizeus safe the world over, tdecavalexpedition against the Malays of Sumatra, in 1831. is an almost forgotten episode. Tho incident is not recalled because it is parallel in its diplomatic aspect with the present Chilian controversy. Diplomacy was not concerned in the Qaallah Battoo business. American sailors had been butchered at that port, and the American government took prompt and vigorous measures to make similar enterprises on the part of the peopleof thoMalayan archipelago unprolitable and unpopular for all time to come. The swiftness of the cbastisementthat was visited upon the offending J town by General Jackson and Levi woodbury, his Secretary of the Navy, will be appreciated when it is remembered that the outrage on the flag occurred on tho other side of the globe and before the days either of communication by electricity or of navigation by steam. The town was wiped out of existence just one day short of one year after the murder of the Friendship's first officer and seamen. In sending out Commodore Downes on the frigate l'otomao to bring Quallah Battoo to account, our government expressly charged that officer to proceed by the ordinary methods employed among civilized nations to obtain satisfaction for wrongs committed, in case he discovered any real disapprobation of the murders by the population at large, or by thoir rulers, or any responsible government disposed to render apology and reparation. But if there was no prospect of that, or if the demand lor satisfaction met with unreasonable delay, the Commodore was to inflict summary retribution by seizing the actual murderers if he could lay hands on them, and by destroying the forts and dwellings near tbo 6cene of aggression. Tho main purpose of the expedition was distinctly stated by Mr. Woodbury. It was to make the guilty prCetrators understand that the Hag of tho nion was not to be insulted with impunity, and that vengeance would surely fall upon murderers who selected American sailors as their victims. The report of Commodore Downes shows bow be interpreted his mission, and his report and that of Lieutenant Sbubrick. commanding the land party, show bow the instructions were carried out. The piratical population made resistance, their forte were captured, their armaments destroyed, thoir town burned to ashes, and about 150 of the piratical Malays killed, including the principal rajah concerned in tho massacre. The moral efiect of the chastisement was an additional guarantee, good foryears thereafter, of the safety of the lives of Ainericau citizens visiting that part of the world. In its treatment of the Valparaiso outrage our government has properly proceeded upon the supposition and with the sincere belief that it was dealing with a civilized nation and a responsible power, willing without unreasonable delay to respond to a friendly and just demand for redress. Fortunately, except in regard to the remarkable delay, there is. up to the present date, no conclusive evidence that such is not the case. Otherwise, in what essential respect would the Valparaiso incident differ from that at Quallah Battoo? TIIE MAN WHO KEPT MUM. lie Couldn't Understand How Things Got Into the Papers. Detroit Free Pros. He was reading a newspaper In a Michigan-avenue car. and he suddenly looked up and said to the young man on his left: "It's wonderful how these papers do git on to things, hain't it!" 'l have often thought so." 'They must havo fellers out hunting up news all the time." "Yes." "Mighty sharp fellows, too. "Yes." "Xabnro'mine got mad at his wife and cutled her cars. Didn't seem to be nobody around when he done it, and tiny made right up. but it all come out in tha paper biir as life." "Did, eht" "Kvery bit ef it, and a little more. Can't see how on earth they got it. but there it was. 1 foolod 'em. though. That's one time they got left." "How was that?' "Somebody robbed my house the other day. We kinder think wo know who it was. I went to the police, and they told me to keep mum and not utter a whisper. They are working on the case yet." "How much were vou robbed off" "About 200. all told, but I'm going to keep mum, you know." "1 seo. Isn't your name Henry DavisT" "Davis! Ob, no; my name's JohnW hite.' "Yes. yes. And you live on Fourteenth street!" "No, sir; I live on ational avenue. What yon writing down there?" "Somo notes abont the robbery. Look in the paper to-morrow!" The old man looked after him as he went out, and be held his month open for fully a minute. Then he closed it with a sudden snap and said: "Well, I swan! but I orter be taken out and fed on grass!" A CLERICAL DEPARTURE. A Minister Has Written a Play Which Will De Produced In Good Time. New York Commercial Advertiser. "I was sitting alone in my office one day last week." said Charley Jefferson, yesterday, when I was somewhat startled by a tap on the shoulder and a query as to whether 1 was Mr. C. B. Jefferson or not. "With visions of a warrant or order of arrest of some kind, 1 turned and discovered a young gentleman of ministerial aspect, who seized me effusively by the hand and assured me that 1 was just the man ho wanted. "What for!' I inquired. "To begin with.' he answered, 'let mo tell you that I am a minister "tfo I imagined from your attire.' "And secondly he continued, Tvedone something rather unusual for a follower of my profession. In brief, Mr. Jefferson, I have written a comic opera.' 'This was indeed a surprise. "'Now I can sincerely assure you,' resumed the clerical dramatist, 'that this opera is a pretty good one. so, to come right down to the point, I want you to hear it and produce it.' "The experience was such a novel one that I determined to see it through, and made an appointment for a reading with tho minister. "Two nights ago we went over the opera, nnd I was again surprised to find that it was a very actable piece of work, and in the bands of a competent manager might make a remunerative hit. "If produced, it will be done under anom deplume, and tho author will devote the receipts to chanty, "When ministers go in for play writing it seems to mo that church and Mace are at last cpon a highly friendly footing, and if the custom spreads we may in time have an ecclesiastical theater devoted to tho production of their endeavors." Cinnamon as a Germ-Killer. New York Post. After prolonged research and experiment in Tasteur'a laboratory. M. Chamberland is reported to have come to the conclusion that no living germ of disease can resist the antiseptic power of es&ense of cinnamon for more than a few hours. It destroys microbes as effectively, if not as rapidly, as corrosive sublimate. Kveu the scent of it is fatal, and M. Chamberland holds that a decoction of cinnamon ought to be taken freely by persons living in places affected by typhoid or cholera. T.'iero is nothing new in all this.

Fans Ficaro, According to Mrs. Grimwood's book the Manipur women hare one extremely sensible rale, which I think every one with any idea of neatness would like to see introduced into this country. As sooa as they are married the women of Manipur put back their fringe. Now, 1 do not know if the fringe is a cnrled one; if not, it is not each a matter of importance, bnt if it needs artificial attention, as most of onr fringes do here, the good of being obliged to dispense with it at the same time as your maiden name is obvious. Just look at the lower classes. A trim little servant, who. while in your service, looked the pink oi neatness, gets married. You go to visit her a short time afterward. The bouse is probably as clean and tidy as soap and water and elbowgrea&e can make it, but what abont herself! Her personal appearance has all gone to seed, and you can scarcely recognize your aproned and capped little maid in tno woman whose hair hangs nukempt and uncurled around her lace. She naturally has not time when she gets np at 6 o'clock in the morning to see her husband oft to work to curl and arrange her hair, and so it is allowed to go anyhow unless, worse still, it is left in its curl papers all day. Now, if fringes were illegal for a married woman, as tney are in Manipur, all this could not be. Kven in the middle classes the same thing is often seen. If you pay an early visit to a lady with a good many little children to see after, and small means, you will frequently find that she will langhinly apologize 'for ber hair being straight, but she has been o busy all the morning aho has really cad no time to see to it." In the afternoon, when calling tima comes, it would be all -right, bnt why should a husband have a curlless wife at breakfast? Iam saro ho would prefer a fringeless one if he must choose between the two. 1 den't say there is any reason he should have either, bnt there is a good deal of sense in the argument that after a woman is married she bns often little time or attention, apparently, to gire to her own appearance, eo that anything which helps to decrease her trouble and increase her neatness is a distinct advantage. Trlllep, bnt Enough. Kew York Ban. The people that are still economizing on groceries to par QP their Christinas bills, and have not yet rallied from the i:rrvous prostration attendant upon the Christmas ehoppirg. will be interested in knowing that the Christmas gift which the Kaiser of the great German empire presented to bis beloved Kaiserin was a little posy of flowers picked and arranged by himself, and a silver pencil and tablets.
