Patrolmen Johnson and Klmpel last night arrested threo boys, Alexander Myers, George Smith and Hlchard Hyatt, all colored, who were seen acting suspiciously around the Union Station at a late hour. At the police station it was found that Myers wore several suits of clothes. On his ierson were found a razor, a "billy," a pair of scissors, several small knives and several rings. Smith had a revolver, two masks and a counterfeit dollar. The razor, knives and the revolver were new, which leads the officers to believe that the three have recently raided a hardware store. The billy" and the masks Rive rise to the opinion that the three have been engaged In highway robbery. The boys all claim to be strangers in the city. They were slated on charges of carrying concealed weapons and vagrancy. AMUSEMENTS. Grand "Ill-other John' If any curious cynlo should really want to know why the large audience at the Grand last night alternately laughed and wept, then wept again and laughed until throat 9 ached and teardimmed eyes stared like fishes straight ahead, long1 after the falls of the curtain, afraid to gaze into companions faces and betray their lachrymose weakness; if the prior mentioned cynic desire an explanation for the curtain call after the first act, the double call after the second and the prolonged outburst after the third when Mr. Crana, preceded by his entire Corr.iany, were forced to respond, we do not hesitate to say it is because there are no Brother Johns in real life. The Brother John of William II. Crane is as much a creation as the idealized "Lady of the Aprels." by Bougereau. which attracted so much attention in the world's fair art gallery. The bourgeois class, who form the commercial backbone of this country today, are not hampered by any such philanthropic, tender-hearted attributes. It is safe to say if they were they would never have the wealth lying1 around to generously cash one-thou-and-dollar checks forged by wild, harem-scarem brothers, and give $10,000 In a lump to handsome forewomen. There may have been a time when people of the "Brother John" type, though less wealthy, lived on this earth, but to-day "Brother John" is a myth. He is a good character for a Sunday-school paper story, or to be worked into a fairy tale for credulous children, but it is his very impossibility, coupled with a vain regret in the human breast that the people became so demonstrative when Mr. Crane showed the idealized "dear old Brother John." All the other characters in the play are pimply feeders for the one star part of. "Brother John. The long list of wellknown strong people in the cast are absolutely necessary to give the numerous mediocre roles the proper imnortance. for Crane towers above everything and everybody. They make their entrances and exits with the sole punose of affording him new opportunities. That capable woman, Lizzie Hudson Collier, has barely enough to say to keep the conversation from lagging. Placed, as she is, so continuously opposite to the star she is little more than able to keep Ilettie Iiolan fium appearing awkwardly out of place. Anne O'Nell 13 a clever ingenue, but until the last act, when she portrays a wheedling girl with much subtlety, there is nausht exceot stereotyped business for her. Gladys Walllis made a decided impression In her qua drill soulis dance and was properly recognized when she camel before the curtain. Mrs. Augusta Foster assisted in the mirth-provoking business as Brother John's spinster sister, but Marie Dantes and Amy Busby as Mrs. Van Sprague and daughter had little opportunity outside of appearing in gorgeous society costumes in the two acts laid at Long Branch, ldalene Cotton entered heartily in the comedy as the maid. The male support was equally competent. George Backus sustained with becoming dash the rather useless character of Edward Kldd. who had determined on marrying Brother Jonathan's sister, while Joseph Wheelock, Jr., as erring Brother Bobby, acquitted himself very much a all would have the black sheep in the family do reform, get married and settle down. Mr. Boyd Putnam gave an excellent coloring to the city swell, who gambles desperately, drinks to excess and develops the society roue instinct a la mode. J. C. Padgett is a good character actor, and while his Hopkins was true enough to the Idea of the play, it did seem a pity to splice him even such an old fogy as spinster Beck. George DeVere anil William Herbert were handicapped in the same manner as most of the others in being cast in insignificant parts. "Brother John" will be repeated tonight and to-morrow matinee, while "The Senator" will be given Saturday evening. IUnuiurck's Good Humor. Deutsche Itevue. After he had accepted the Ministry of Commerce the Prince was struck by the insignificance of many matters he had to decide. If. for Instance, anybody had been caught illicitly hawking goods and had been sentenced to a fine, but had to be pardoned on the score of poverty, it was necessary, for the remission of the tine, to obtain the consent of two Ministers the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Commerce. Bismarck had taken special note of a case of this kind. A peddler had been sentenced to a tine of 20 marks (about a sovereign), and the Under Secretary of State reported to the new Minister of Commerce that he was a poor devil who had to maintain a wife and child, and would sink Into still deeper misery if the line were converted into imprisonment. He therefore begged Bismarck to sign an Immediate report, advising the King to pardon the peddler. The Prince emphatically refustd to do so, for, said he, if the King had to be advised to use his rljjht of pardon in all such cases. Justice would become a dead letter. The peddler has simply not to pay the tine, and must escape imprisonment in order to save himself and his family from absolute ruin. The Under Secretary of State then referred to the traditional practice, and appealed to the heart of his chief, who answered: "All right. I'll give the poor devil the 20 marks out of my Vwn pocket, but you shall not have my tslirnature for the thlnsr." Guarantees a Keyer, 2V. C. Bit. R. V.

RIOT AT 13UDA PESTH

Students Smash Lamps and Windows and Invade Theaters, Compelling Display of Mourning Emblems in Honor of Kossuth Another liomb Explosion. BUD A PESTH, March 22. The povernment has so far yielded to the popular demand regarding the respect to be shown by it to the memory of Kossuth that it has caused to be holsteduron the state buildings tne national flag draped with crape. To-night crowds of students went about the city smashing the windows and the ga3 lamps in front of houses on which no mourning cwas displayed. Performances were being given in the theaters as usual. The students invaded the theaters and drove from the stage with missiles of all sorts the actors taking part in the performances. They then turned their attention to the audiences and manag?d in every case to drivtfr them from the buildings. The tactics were employed at the concert halls. The police made attempts to arrest the disturbers, but the students resisted them and a number of sanguinary street conflicts took place. When strong bands of the students entered the Royal Opera House and National Theater the attaches and the police stationed at these places attempted to prevent them. The sudents fought their way into the bodies of the houses and stopped the performances. They demanded that banners be displayed, and upon being met with refusals they themselves hoisted mourning banners they had brought with them over the boxes. It is stated that several Hungarian ministers, all the members of the lower house of the Diet and many of the members of the upper house will attend Kossuth's funeral. The distinguished Hungarian novelist, Maurice Jokal, has Issued an appeal to the Hungarian people in which' he asks that all the draped llas which the army of sorrowing people will carry before the hearse conveying Kossuth's remains be preceded by a white Hag of reconciliation an immaculate white flag of homage to the pillar of the Constitution. UXPLODKD IX A CIII HCII. Over Twenty IVranim Injured In France by Another Do nil OutrnRe. PARIS, March 22.-A dispatch from Grenoble says that a bomb was exploded yesterday afternoon In the Church of Galllevu near Grenoble. The bomb, Jt appears, was placed against a screen Inside the main entrance of the church and it exploded at about 4 o'clock, as the congregation was leaving the sacred edifice after an Easter service. The explosion injured twenty persons, three of whom may die. It also caused a lvinlc In the church, during which a number of people were injured by being trampled under foot. A later dispatch from Grenoble says the bomb was filled with gunpowder and had a long fuse attached to It. The smoke caused by the explosion filled the church and produced a fearful panic among the people. Women and children and old people were the sufferers. CltlzeitM of Snntnntlpr Indlnunt. SAXTANDER, March 22. - Indignation over the explosion of dynamite ia the steamer Cabo Machichaco took so active form to-day that the military was called out to protect the civil Governor and the engineer under whose supervision the dynamite that had remained unexploded in the district since last November was being removed. The mob surrounded the residence of the official to-day and threatened to wreak vengeance upon them. The civil guard had its hands full In restraining the Iopulace, and as a measure of precaution the authorities called out the troops in the Spanish garrison, who succeeded in dispersing the crowd. Five person were killed by the 'xploslon last nlht and seven sustained dangerous wounds. Cliiiiiihcrlulii to rnioiilt. EDINBURGH, March 22. Joseph Chamberlain addressed a crowded Unionist meeting here to-night. In the course of his remarks Mr. Chamberlain said Gladstone had left his successor a heritage of woe. Lord Rosebery's recent speech, delivered in Edinburgh, did not seriously change what he had sai l in the House of Lords, and his remarks fully Justified the action of the Unionists and peers. Lord Rosebery's frankness on the question of the disestablishment of the church In Scotland approached the verge of cynicism and justified Voltaire, who had said that the British only had enough religion t serve their political purposes. Chamberlain concurred with Timothy Healy in the belief that the House of Commons ought to ba dissolved. Mello Cuptnren u. YoHeI. NEW YORK, March 22. A dispatch from Montevideo says that a vessel flying a foreign flag, supposed to be that of Argentina, wa3 overhauled and searched by Admiral De Mello, the Brazilian rebel chief. Its cargo, which was consigned to President Pelxoto, consisted of artillery and Krupp guns, 1,500 Mauser rifles, thirty tons of smokeless powder and l.r0,000 cartridges. The whole cargo was valued at $3.7,"00. Admiral M.llo ordered a tug to tow the ship and earpo to Drsterro, where the prize was unloaded and the tug release;! by Lorena, the rebel president.

March 22.-A dispatch to the Daily News from Uganda Bays the British have declared war against King Kabaraga, of Unyoro. It is believed the King was Incensed at the erection by the British of several forts upon his territory, and that he is marching nerainst King Toro, who permitted this. The British force under Capt. Ruddy Owen, with a company of Nubian soldiers and a Maxim un. has been dispatched to meet Kabaraga. Widespread trouble is expected. Cnble 'ote.

SORELY TEMPTED. An Eiicllnlt SurxcouN Hungry Experience on the Count of Africu. Washington Post. A real, fine old English gentleman was Dr. Thomas Gunton, who. while confabbing with a numebr of friends in a prominent Washington resort recently, related a number of interesting experiences in his career. His latter years have been passed looking out fur sick people In the Canadian wilds, but his younger days were n.arked with activity und no little adventure. "What do you regard as alout the most Ierilous position you were ever in. Doctor?" a.kd a writer for the Post. "Well." musingly replied the Doctor, "I am sure a clrcuir.star.ee that 'Happened when, as a voiihk man, I had the double olHce of supercarfi and surgeon of an English trading vessel on the African coast, b-ft a deeper and more painful impression on my mind than any other evert in my life." His listeners gathered scmewhat closer, and the Doctor v-nt on: "Our captain and the ship's company generally were pretty well acquainted with the natives, and various klncs i-nl priests and othr men in authority wculd frequently come aboard to get a bit? of salt Irk r.nd once in a whlK a kIss of rum, etc., so It was not considered danc:'rous to go ashore and make little excursions Into the Interior. The natives were cannibals, but they knew whom to eat, and interest for thlr personal welfare prevented their mouths Wuterinfj for the blood of an Englishman. 1 went ashore one day with the mate, who got the notion Into his head that he wanted to kill two or three gorgeously plumaved birds, cure and dress their wing feathers and take them home to his sweetheart. We got separated in the Jungle and I became lot. I had lefz my ioekt compass aboard the sh!p and to save my life I couldn't locate myself. Well, I was in that forest for two dayn without thinir to eat before I was luck enough

to strike the coast, from which I had at no time been three miles distant. I was starving. I think for the first time in rny life I realized what hunger was." Here the dorter made a primaee. "Hoys.' he said, ' as I ijot near the coast my nostrils met a most savory odor. It Increased my torment of hunger tenfold, while my heart rejoiced at the prospect of food; Put to my horror and fright I walked riirht into a Rroup of niters boilinsc a man. The remembrance of the temptation offered me clings to me yet. Weak as I was, however, I ran from the place lest I. too, should become a cannibal. If I had remained with those niggers in mw starved condition I should have partaken of their hell broth, But I was safe, for a party from the ship scon found me, and when I eaw them 1 fainted away. That terrib'e temptation," the doctor continued, "was the one eent cf all my career that make. m-? gloomy whenever I think of it and I almost always think of it." PRESIDENT DEPEW IHDVT BUY.

A Shabby Citizen Offered to Sell Hint n Free Trip Push on the Central. New York Sun. . President Chauncey M. Depcw's sense of humor is so proverbially good that it is surprising to learn of a Joke passing his way unappreciated. Mr. Dcpew laughs now, but he was too indignant for laughter 'one day last week when a shabbily dressed man stopped him In front of the Grand Central Station and offered to sell him a trip pass on the Central from New York to Albany. The man had been standing about the station for some time offering the pass to different people. It was one of the days when travelers were not taking chances, and the walking broker was getting discouraged, when he rushed up to a man who is familiar with New York faces. "I am not traveling to-day," said the man, "but do you see that gentleman over there You go over and strike him. I think you can make a deal." The man pointed to President Depew. who was hurrying to catch a train, for Albany, and the broker hurried after him. In the absence of a stenographer no record was taken of the conversation. The broker's present address is unknown, and President Depew cannot accurately recall the dialogue. If the president was astonished he did not show it; he declined to purchase the pass, but he jotted the number and name on his notebook and issued an order that it should be taken up and the holder arrested under the sections of the penal code, which provide punishment for personation. Shortly afterward another man got into the game by purchasing the pass. He was stopped at the gate, turned over to a policeman, and disehargc-d later. President Depew's personal and official indignation over the ingratitude of a man who would sell a railroad pass is by no means cooled off. Orders have been sent out to gate keepers and conductors to use all means to identify the hoider of a pass. If the pass is carried by any xerson other than the one to whom it is issued the holder will be detained and prosecuted under the law. The holder in such a caso 1st guilty of a misdemeanor. Since the hard times began it is believed that the sale of trip passes on the New York Central has lecome quite an industry. More passes are taken up from persons who have purchased them than ever before, and these arsons are in. most instances more prosperous than those to whom the passes were issued. The general understanding is that a railroad pass is Issued to some powerful person who is in a position to exchange favors with the company. On the other hand, very many of the passes on the Central are. given to employes from other railroads and to people who secure requests for passes from tho officers of other roads. It is believed that the passes offered for sale come from these classes. JUDICIAL. TORTURE IX 1TOO. These Thing Were Legal n Little More Thuu a. Humlred Venn A ro. A. W. Barber, In Popular Sckncc Monthly. The four grades are then defined, the first being the thumb-screw (poletrum. Daumstocke.) Two Feparate forms are pictured by life-size scale drawings; one' sort was lepal in Austria and one In I5ohemia. It is a strong little vise, seven Inches long, of two flat iron bars connected by screw bolts. The thumbs are to be inserted to the first Joint and the Inner surfaces are armed with tooth-like points While the questions are asked one servant helps hold the vise and turn the nuts with a wrench or key, while another clasps the victim tight around the body to prevent contortions. A third may or may not be employed to increase the pain by hammering on the vise. The picture of this scene is very effectively drawn. The conflict of stubborn wills between the rearing victim and the iron-hearted bailiffs is fearful to witness. The Judge Is in no hurry; ho gives the wrench an additional turn now anl then till the very bones are crushed.! and the clerk can triumphantly writd down the confession of guilt. j The second grade, which is now seldom, beard of, was the cord (ii lleula.) Its exact size and use are fully pictured. The arms of the accused are stretched forward with the palms together. A strong rope, like sah cord, ir locped upon the wrist, then wound tightly round loth arms to the elbows, cutting deep Into the flesh and tending to break the elbow joints. This was regarded more terrible than the thumb stocks. This was the Bohemian method; but another form was prescribed for Aus-. tria equally effective and Ingenious. The famous rack which comprised the third grade was of great utility In the "discovery of the truth." It wa-s called enuuleus. or little horse, by the Austrian as well us the Roman jurists. Four full-page$ engravings depict the exact torm. size, ne-! chanlcal construction and practical use of this machine. It is a wide ladder of two strong roles, with many rounds, and is fixed in a slanting position from the stone' floor to th dungeon wall. The culprit must' climb to the upper part and sit down; his wrists, previously bound behind his back, are tied to the fifth round. His feet are bound with a rope, which Is drawn down: by a windlass attached to the base of the ladder. As he is pulled downward his arms are twisted upward behind him. When fully carried out, the desired result was complete dislocation of the shoulders, as the explanatory notes declare with grtat exactness of detail. GE. IIARRISOVS BROTHER. He Visits Old Army Friend In Pennsylvania. Philadelphia Inquirer. Carter B. Harrison, one of the two surviving brothers of ex-President Benjamin Harrison, has been making a quiet visit to friends in this city during the last few days, and last evening he returned to Washington. Captfdn Harrison, as he is known among his Grand Army comrades, was seen yesterday afternoon at the home of Miss Scheetz and her brother, Harry Scheetz, 1722 North Twenty-ninth street, who are related by marriage to the late Archibald Irvin Harrison, the oldest of the ex-President's brothers. The ex-President Is the oldest brother living, carter B. Harrison following next aod John Scott Harrison, who was here a year ago, being the youngest. Captain Harrison bears the family resemblance, and has the straight nose, keen eyes, wide forehead and pale complexion of his distinguished brother. He has the easy manner of most Western men and the courtly bearing of the South, whre he has made his home since the war, a Tennessee young woman having accom plished what the rebels failed in, capturing him. Since that time the Captain has lived at Murfreesboro. Tenn., and during the Harrison administration was United States marshal of the Middle district of his State. Captain Harrison looks to be just what he is, a well-to-do farmer. A black slouch hat covers his Iron-gray hair and his face is clean-shaven except his upper lip, which bears a handsome gray mustache. He Is somewhat taller and more slender than his older brother, and like the latter has always voted the Republican ticket. The Captain's visit here was the first in nearly eighteen years. Among the comrades whom he met were John S. Croxton and Andrew Wood, the well-known shoe manufucturer. who sefrved as officers in the R.iTrf ! resrlment with Captain Harrison the Fiftyfirst Ohio under Col. Stanley Matthews, afterwards Associate Justice of the Unit-?d States Supreme Court. Mr. Scheetz, the Captain's hot, cemmanded an Indiana company In the same division under General Van Clove.

Probable Failure of the Union Pa cific Wage-Schedule Conference. Employes of the Koad Are Dissatisfied Because Xo Concessions Have Been Made by Arbitrator Clark. OMAHA, Neb., March 22. It developed to-day that the cause of the hitch in the Union Pacific wage conference has been a disagreement between the trainmen and the engine men over inequalities in the pchedules prepared. The constructive mileage feature was at the bottom of the trouble. The employes of the road are uneasy and restive. They are not saying many words, but the few they use count for a good deal. All the conceding has been done by the men. Not a point has been given in by the company, and wherever there was a difference of opinion it still exists, unless the men have receded from their position. This has had a very depressing effect on the men. The men have almost rached the conclusion that the conference is a waste of time. This evening it was quietly announced that unless some very substantial concessions were made from the Dundy schedule the receivers of the Union Pacific would have a strike on their hands. The men have determined to drop the conference, and will not allow the receivers to settle the point for themselves. If they decide to go before Judge Caldwell, insisting on the Dundy schedule there will be opposition both in and out of court. There was a secret meeting of the men last night, at which Eugene V. Debs and others spoke in favor of discontinuing what they all called a farce. Mr. Debs went over the present situation and likened It to the Northern Pacific affair, which ended at last in forcing the men to yield Just what the company receivers wanted. Mr. Debs drew a parallel, and when he suggested that the delegates empower their various chairmen to get together into a committee of action and draft an agreement which would be satisfactory to them, and which would give them what they thought would be their dues, this to be subndtted to Mr. Clark in the event that Judge Caldwell was unable to give what was asked, he was loudly applauded. In the next breath he suggested that the only other course open, that of striking in the event its demands were not acceded to, le taken. The applause and approbation continued, and Mr. Deba's idea was accepted by the body. Others followed and agreed that the present conference Is a farce, and will amount to nothing at all. Another meeting wiii be held to-morrow night, when the men will go still further into the matter and prepare for their final demand. The platform will be presented to Judge Caldwell. The engineers to-night deny that they have any intention of a strike. They say they have decided to go before Judge Caldwell on the stand made in conference, and not with any threats. They feel they have not gained anything in the conference, but believe the court will give them relief. They deprecate very much the talk of striking. Street Ilullwiiy Strike. TOLEDO, O., March 22. A strike was Inaugurated on the lines of the Robison Electric Street-railway Company this morning, 118 rr.otormen and conductors refusing to take out their cars, pending the reinstatement of four men alleged to have been discharged for unionism. The management ran out a few cars this afternoon and no violence was offered. An injunction reStraining the strikers from interfering with the operation of the lines was granted by the Common Pleas Court this afternoon, but notwithstanding the wires have been cut in many places and the men express confidence In an ultimate victory- The affair will be made an issue in the municipal elections. THE OMAHA "SEIGNIORAGE." Tho Western Jokers Are Merely Following tho 'Example Set by Congress. New York Tribune. There are practical Jokers in Omaha. The detectives of the government secret service foind quite a little nest of them the other day. The Jokers had "got up" to the "seigniorage" game proposed by the present Congress, and were playing It for all it is worth. As they understand the game, tho government had been buying silver for a long time at varying prices and after putting certain mark3 on It selling it to the public at a handsome profit. It not being handy to move, the government ceased putting marks ou it and paying it out, but kept on buying it and issuing its own notes in payment for it. The notes were made payable in silver, but as nobody wanted silver it was enacted that in the eye of the government silver was t as good as gold, which, though it wa9 all in the government's eye, served to keep the notes in circulation. The main purpose in this was to "maintain the volume of currency," so that there should be plenty of money and everylody would have enough to be comfortable, and mortgages would cease to be grinding and oppressive after the mortgagers had spent the lorrowed money, liut it was presently found that the volume of the currency was insufficient, and that many deserving persons engaged in axrlcultural pursuits in the West, who had bought farm lands for $2 or $3 an acre and borrowed $5 or $10 an acre on mortgages and spent the money like men, had some difficulty in paying interest. Naturally the agriculturists elected some Governors and legislatures and members of Congress to fix it up. These statesmen are getting ready to "coin the seigniorage" in order to relieve the distress. The Omaha jokers began to study the "seigniorage" question. They, found that the government had tought an enormous quantity of silver and stored it in the treasury vaults, and that at the market price the notes issued for the purchase represented a loss of many millions to the government, liut they also found that if the government should take the entire amount stored and stamp every fifty cents worth of it as a dollar there would be a profit of $.",(wu.000 to the government; and that this was to be the government view of the matter. They observed that under this construction a losing transaction was made protttable, and, what was more, that it was jHjssible for the government to put out more notes at the rate of a dollar's worth of notes on fifty cents worth of collateral. The jokers thought that if this was a good thing for the government they might go into it themselves. But they found that they could not borrow a dollar on their own notes with fifty cents worth of silver as collateral. So they decided not to issue notes, but to help the government relieve the general distress by going into the business of selling fifty cents worth of silver for a dollar, and so "maintaining the volume of the currency." So for some time they have been buying silver bullion of the Omaha smelters, and. after stamping it precisely as the government does, putting it in circulation. In other words, they are selling silver to the public at precisely the same rate as the government. They are reported to have put in circulation something like IjOO.Ouu. The proceeding lacks formality, but if the issue of $00,000, (jO of certificates on the theory that an obviously and undeniably losing transaction has been profitable, and on the basis of fifty cents worth of collateral to the dollar, is wise statesmanship and honest financiering and calculated to relieve the general distress, what is the matter with the performance of the Omaha Jokers, who have been doing by a shorter process and with lef?s fuss about it precisely what the United States government Is doing? Strictly speaking, the seigniorage is the product of a government prerogative, but the coinage of it is avowedly to relieve the financial distress of agricultural "communi ngs fn the Kuth and West by maintaining the volume of the currency. That Is what the Omaha Jokers have been doing in a. jUiK and unobtrusive manner. There Is a question, of course, a3 to how the distressed agriculturists who complain of the scarcity of money are to get hold of the Omaha dollar without paying for them; but the same question arises with regard to the Issues of the government. The jokers do not concern themselves with that. No more does the government. Doth the jokers and the government are doing their best to make money plentiful. It H the business of the agriculturists to get It in whatever way they can when the proper "per capita" is established. There seems to be a feeling In treasury circles at Washington that the Omaha fellows are carrying the joke too far, and a disposition Is manifested to break up the enterprise and send-the jokers to State'prlson. This is another illustration of the ingratitude of republics. A lueenN SuvliiKN for the Poor. New York Commercial Advertiser. Queer, is it not, to think of a king and a queen saving their "pennies" to give to the ioor? liut it is even so. King Humbert and Queen Margherlta, of Italy, have this winter gone to more than their usual

lengths of sympathy and kindness. Thy are each practicing self-denial In order to h'flp still more their needy subjects. Queen Margherlta, whom her own sex always ppeik of as "the tt-st dressed woman In all

Italy," an 1 who loves dearly to live up to her title, is buying no pretty things tins season. To te sure, she has plenty of dresses, but when one has a reputation like unto hers it is not an ea.y thing to vear frocks that have lost their pristine glory, and sleeves that are hopelessly out of date, and to feel that some other woman is right In the vogue. However, the warm-hearted queen is doing this. Every penny she would have otherwise sjent in jewelry and pretty things this year goes toward charity. It reads 'like a fairy story or a chapter in the life of some saint. Perhaps had they lived earlier this royal couple would have been canon Ized. AMERICAS INDUSTRIES. A Census Bulletin Giving Some Interesting Facts Concerning Them. An extra census bulletin which has just been i5sued contains statistics of manufactures for the United States in 1ST) and some very interesting information. According to the figures the largest manufacturing Industries in the United States, estimated by the amount of capital and the number of hands employed, is the lumber and sawmill interest. The largest, judging from the amount of wages paid, is foundries and machine shops, and, judging from the value of the output, iron and steel.

I did not like that story and I laid it down and sighed. But I know another story About a little boy "Who did not die but lived to bo Ills mother's greatest joy. lie was the only little chick His good old mother had. And, oh. it nearly drove har wdld Sometimes, he was so bad. "Now this will never do," The wise old mother swore. And so she hid an apple switch Behind the wardrobe door. And then this little boy would gaze, With tearful eyes and tore, Whene'er she went a hunting there. Behind the wardrobe door. And so it came to pass, you see Explain It If you can That this bad boy grew up to be A very' good old man. St. Louis Test-Dispatch. Apiieudlclt 1. Medical Man, in New York Commercial Advertiser. You cannot have failed to notice the continually Increasing number of deaths from that new and, at present, almost invariably fatal disease, appendicitis. It is almost proper now to speak of the "spread" of the disease, for that it Is not traumatic in origin or accidental, as was supitoned up to less than a year ago, must be philn. It Is due to a p:-cinc microbe or bacillus, like cholera or typhoid fever, whose distinguishing characteristic Is that it attacks the appendix vermlformls as the cholera j?erm attacks the lower intestims or the hydrophobia bacillus the nerve puip. Obviously, surgical treatment is too desperate except as a last resource. Have we in this mysterious malady a brand new germ or a malignant one developed from some older and harmless microscopic growth by our ever-changing mode of living: As fast as we find a mans of combating one of these Invisible enemies by learning its habits and the measure of its ravages, another sr-ems to spring up to confound us.

To the IMitor of the Indianapolis Journal: So it seems that 2,4rO cuspidors were required as part of the furnishings of the new Criminal Court building in New York city. The Philadelphia Hecord cites this fact as a Justification for Max OTtell's criticism of Americans as a race of tobacco spltUrs. Hut Max OTtell need not have specified what sort of s; itters they were. Enough to have called thm spitters, for, whether they use tobacco or not, they seem bent on spitting, hence the need of th cuspidors above referred to. Had it been a woman's building to be furnished all that

great outlay could have been raed, for, etran;e to say. the throats of women ffm to be so constructed that the continual rasping and scraping which Mm? men require Is not a necessity with them, anl It is not likely that In the entire lift of women's buildings in the United States one cuspidor has ever been found necessary, taking our own Propylaeum as an example. Why should men persist in indulging a pernicious habit wMh women universally omit? SAXITAKT ASSOCIATION. Indianapolis, March 2L mi. DENSY'S -TKOTECTIO.NY'

Another Vigorous Flaying of tho -'Jlldaous Vaccination Fallacy To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I was amused at the charming naivete of Mayor Denny in regard to vaccination, as shown in the following utterance attributed to him the other day in an evening paper: "Some years ago when we had smallpox here I told my family to send me to the pesthouse at once if I were taken down. But I had been thoroughly vaccinated-anl did not have to go." Now. the regulation statistics very plainly show that vaccination has no influence in the protection of persons from attacks of smallpox, whatever virtue it may bo claimed to have in modifying the severity of such attacks; so Mr. Denny's fancied protection was only on a par "with that afforded the ostrich when It sticks its head in a bush when pursued b? a hunter. In your interesting history cf the epidemio of which Mr. Denny speaks, published the 21st of last August, Is described the cas9 of Dr. Wagner, who was even better "pro tected" than Mr. Denny, he having been vaccinated four times, early and late, but who took smalliox, made his will, went to the pesthouse, wherf he spent twenty-eight days in seclusion. The regulation statistics of the smallpox epidemic which swept over Europe in 1S71 show that there were actually hundreds of thousands of cases of pmallpox among vacclcnated persons. In England that year 23,120 died of smallpox anj in that country vaccination was compulsory. In Bavaria there were 30,742 cases cf smallpox that year, of which 29,429 were among vaccinated persons, a per cent, of 95.7. (Fee Encyclopedia Brltannlca, vol. 24.foi these figures and many more of the same kind.) The annual report of the health department of the city of New York, issued In 1S71, says: "The extraordinary prevalence of smallpox over various parts of tha globe, especially In countries where vacclnation has long been efficiently practiced; its occurrence In its most fatal form in persons who pave evidence of havlntr been well vaccinated, and the remarkable susceptibility of people of all ages to revaccination are new facts In the history of this pestilence, which must lead to a reinvestigation of the whole subject of vaccination and of its claims as a protecting agent." 1 have no fault to find with the above quotation except as to the expression "new facts." Thev are old facts, and the history of the subject brlstl with them. They were "new facts" to that particular health board there, but they do not seem to b new facts even yet to some other health boards I could name. I will not Inflict ancient history upon you, but hone you will bear wdth me in the introduction of some vry new scraps: In the New York Medical Journal for March 17 Is an article entitled "A statistical Hecord of 5.000 Cases of Smallpox." bv Dr. eicn. pnjfician io uic i uduci -ma. .im..pox Ho-pltal. His record embraces th period from 1S70 up to the curly part of 1SDI. Ills tables 5how that out of thes 5.00 cates of smallpox only 1.G12 were among the unvacclnated. And they wera even less, as he had "nlnetj'-three unclassified." more than half of whom probably belonged among the vaccinated. H endeavors to show that vaccination mitigates the disease, but conclusively shows that it does not prevent It. Here one of his statements: "In examining the nrms of patients of German birth it is quite common to find three distinct scars on eacn arm. and even a screater number is frequently met with. I have seen as- many as twenty typical vaccine marks on the arms of a German patient." Is not this protection" of the ostrich kind? In an English blue book a report on sanitary measures in India in lMl- malnljr for ISM. shows that the vaccinating staff of 4 2C1 vaccinated C.83U61 persons that year,' the deaths from smallpox that year being 333.32. and the army commission concludes: "We pre thus brought face to face with the fact that, notwithstanding the existence of an active vacelnntlon service, smallpox swept over the provinces just as if there had been none. It Is clear that vaccination has been incompetent to deal with the disease In its epidemic form. If sanitary work be neglected no more dependence against smallpox can be placed on vaccination. The true remedies lie elsewhere altogether, for in an epidemic year smallpox scapes from the influence of vaccination alone." This is official testimony that vaccination protects from smallpox when there la no smallpox around, but is useless when smallpox comes. I hope you will pardon my Insistence upon this subject in so public a manner, but this matter is the greatest sanitary yubject of the age, and Its pettlement belonss do the people, not the doctors, and so should be discussed in the newspapers. The people must refuse lorxer to be made sick when well at the orders of health boards whose olficials and attaches are so Ignorant of th sublect as to ask. in fanclM Fupnort of vaccination, why there is so much less smallpox now than there was before vaccination was introduced, oblivious of the fact that the conditions are not comparable because the practice in vogue then was inoculation vaccinating with smallpox matter itself, thus spreading the disease. History shows that vaccination was foisted upon the medical profession by Jenner by fraud, and forced upon the people by a vast piece of political chicanery, and no mlcroseoplst or bacteriologist has been able to show that the vaccine virus is anything more than pus from an old sore on an animal, only capable of causing Flcknfs, disease and death, as it has thousands upon thousands of times without the benefit superadded of conferring protection from smallpox. In conclusion it is a most noteworthy fact that the statistics used by the antl-vacclnatlonlsts were not manufactured by them, but in the regulation way. usually by the believers in vaccination, and it is another fact that every one who will but look over the fast growing literature of this subject becomes convinced that the worship of vaccination, this hideous fallacy, is but that of a foul fetish In the rightful place of the pure goddes Hygela, W. B. CLAUKE, M. D. Indianapolis, March 21. A lVw Ilemnrkn About the A. I. A. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I would like to make a few remarks upon the subject of the A. 1. A. oreanlratlon which maj' not be amiss. First of all, I am an A. P. A. and know whereof I speak. The association dos not antagonize the Catholic Church from any religious stand point, but from a iolltlcal point A Catholic can join an A. P. A. lodge if he will declare to supiort our national Constitution and our free schools against its assailants and to vote for no person who is not In sympathy with the same. Irrespective of party or religion. The object sought is to keep church and state separate; to perpetuate our free school on anonpartisan and nonsectarian principle; to tax all church property exceitlnR edifice and parsonage, and to repel any religious Feet from controlling our national affairs. If Hew Carstensen calls this un-Arnerlcan I certainly doubt his Americanism. The trouble wdth the opnosers of the A. P. A. is that they are not rightly informed as to its objects, etc. So far as arms bdn placed in or near any church by the association is absurd and ridiculous. The incidents of putting nuns in the free schools at Pittsburg should show every patriot that it is time fome Kte. were taken to check it; also to the ralslne of the Irish flar on public buildings in New York. One thin in quite certain, neither the Republican nor Democratic pnrty dare rais thir voice against It. Th Hevuhlican fer thev mlht not get the Catholic tstragK'ers anl the Democrats surely couli not, for 75 ir cent, of their party Is composed of Catholics. Let there be a careful Investigation of the motives of the A. P. A. and there will be thousands of them when there are now only hundreds. J. I. JOHNSON. Portland. In l.. March 21.
