Hobert Gladdes Makes a Target of a "West Indianapolis Saloon Keeper. A man named Robert Gladdes, who was full of bad whisky and wanted more, caused considerable excitement in, West Indianapolis last night by trying; to kill a saloon keeper. Gladdes attempted to get into Jacob Traugert's saloon at the corner of River and Woodburn averues, and when refused admission pulled a revolver and let go straight at the saloon keeper, who was only a few feet away. The bullet missed Traugert's head by not more than an Inch, and he began calling for help so lustily that Deputy Constable Wood; who was in the vicinity, heard him and responded. With the all of several citizens Gladdes, his "Jag," and his ugly revolver were captured and taken before 'Squire Allen, who hel 1 him in ll'JU for carrying a concealsd weapon. He will be reported to the gran 1 Jury for Indictment on a charge of shooting with intent to kill. The aftair occurred about lu o'clock and created something of a stir. Gladdes Is regarded by the officers over there as a toujrn, and tney are anxious to see hlni behind the bars for an indefinite period. Ho was locked up lust night in default of ball. AMUSEMENTS. Budd Ross, Edward Thayne, Dudie Tracy, John Hogan and other well-known farcecomedy performers are with the "Skipped by the Light of the Moon" company, that will begin a week's engagement at the Park Theater this afternoon. According to all accounts the company gives a performance that Is full of good mu9ic, novel specialties, witty dialogue and laugh-producing Incidents. Blanche Chapman, Flora Finlayson, Leah Van Dyck, Leona Clark, Fred Frear and James Sturges, of the "Skating Rink" company, that will come to English's the last three nights of the week, are people of recognized ability in their particular line of business, and In "The Skating Rink" have been provided with some excellent material, it is said. The spectacular first part of the performance given by the Primrose & West minstrels is said to be decidedly striking and entirely original, and the show throughout la described as one with a great variety of novel and entertaining features. The company will arrive in the morning, and at 11 o'clock will give a street parade headed br a band of thirty pieces.. The enafrement J thi f2rcni will riwei tn'-mnrrnw nicht

f jand Wednesday afternoon and evening. V Many and curious are the incidents that 1 ave Interested famous actresses to the proA esslonal stage, but around the lives of but Vfew has there been wound such a thread of romance as surrounds that of Modjeska. It was in trying to perform a good deed that an opportunity to gratify her longing for a dramatic career was tlrst presented. Near the quaint old city of Cracow, the home of the ancient kings of Poland, a devastating fire had destroyed a little village, leaving the inhabitants homeless and dependent upon charity. Little Helena Modjeska, for she was only a miss at the time, suggested to a friend that they get up an amateur theatrical entertainment for the benefit of the sufferers. "But you can't act," rejoined her friend. "Well, I can try," said Modjeska, and she did try, for that very day she sought the association of three others who were fond of dramatic entertainments, and after waiting on the owner of one of the public halls In Cracow, they succeed 2d in having it donated for their performance. The night came and the hall was crowded, for there was not only widespread interest in the charity, but also much curiosity to witness the debut of Helena Modjeska and her friends. As the hall was not used for entertainments of that character, the stage was improvised by placing some boards on the tops of barrels, and tallow dips stuck in holes bored In the stage served as footlights. One of the ptee.s presented was that of "A Haucy Lackey," in which little Helena enacted the title role. That night there appeared in Cracow the director of the Imperial Theater of Warsaw, and who had strolled into the entertainment in the hore of finding some talent of promise. So pleased was Checinskl, for that was his name, that he sought Modjeska after the performance was over and said: "You played that impudent lackey so well I was tempts! to box your ears," and, after some further praise, took th3 fair amateur's address and left. A short time after a vacancy occurred at the great Imperial Theater, which was the Mecca of every player of Poland, and the manager, remembering the ability displayed by Modjeska, made her an offer to join the stock company of the national playhouse. It was there that she achieved her first great triumphs, and where she Temained as leading lady for many years. The attraction at the Kmpire this week will be lister & Williams in their new "Me and Jack," which has t?en a success during former engagements in this city. It will be sen In conjunction with Kmest Roeber, champion Graeco-Uoman wrestler of the world, who is oHn during the week to meet all comers In lif teen-mlnute bouts. He offers to civ $2 for each minute after the first live it takes to throw, and additional if party remains fifteen minutes. The olio presented by this company is good Judging .from the list of people. "Me and ack." the popular burlesque, has been revised.

An Eccentric Man Cnncr. About 2:20 o'clock yesterday morning- the family of George Totts, at No. 311 West New York street, were awakened by the violent barking of a dog. Investigation showed an unknown man disporting himself in the yard in a singular manner. For a time the Individual amused himself by leaping the fence, and then growing tired of the exercise proceeded to divest himself of the major portion of his clothing. Leaving his coat and vest lying in the front yard, the eccentric fellow ran to the rear of the premises, and lighting a match closely surveyed the contents of a shed adjoining the stable. One of the male members of the household interrupted the queer nntlcs of the prowler and he Med, leaving his clothes in the yard. Patrolmen Crane and Tiehen were apprise! of the incident and examine! the garments. A card in one of the pockets read. "Anderson Thornton." and an empty whisky flask bore the latel of an East Washington-street barrel house. It U thought the man was demented. Scnttlnli Hlto Annunl Convocation.

KEW WAGON FACTORY

Ohio Tarties to Establish One Em ploying Several Hundred Men. Fifty Per Cent. More Brick Will Be Required ilere This Year Thau Last Season. Last- week parties from Cleveland and Toledo were In the city prospecting with a view of establishing here a large factory to make spring wagons of all sizes. One of the parties stated on Saturday afternoon. Just before returning to Cleveland, that they were much pleased with Indianapolis as a location for manufactories. On investigation they had found that In no place In the country' were the railroad facilities greater and the rates more favorable, so sharp is competition. They had called on a number of business men and railroad officials, and were given all information desired. Then the natural gas and low price of ground were further Inducements. The parties will need several acres of ground. The works will in the beginning employ two hundred men or more, the gentlemen expecting to build up as extensive a reputation In a few years as has the Parry Manufacturing Company. The tenor of the conversation of both Mr. Talmage, of Cleveland, and Mr. liyrkit, of Toledo, was to the effect that they had decide! to locate here, and would soon return to purchase ground and erect suitable buildings, unless they purchased some buildings already up, which could, with little trouble, be converted Into buildings such as they require. Growth of Art Smithery. One of the many Influences which have resulted from the world's fair is the Impulse given to the business of art smitheryBy art smlthery is meant the production of articles of combined utility and ornamentation in iron and steel. This is a craft in which the qualities of workman and artist must combine in the man who wields the hammer. Notwithstanding the constantly increasing application of machinery In various Industrial fields the art smith has no other assistants In the way of tools and Implements than had his predecessor centuries ago a forge, an anvil, various odd-shaped chisels and a hammer constitute his equipment. The Importance and beauty of Iron as a means of artistic expression is well understood by modern architects; especially those who have received their training abroad, where it has been in common use for ages. Along- with the general treim toward better things In art and architecture has come a demand for art smithery, but until recent years It has been impossible to obtain work of this character in our own country. It was an uphill road that confronted the pioneers in this line. The wealth of art iron work displayed at the world's fair has awakened a more general demand for the beautiful product, and our people have been educated to distinguish between the cast-iron-fence sort of work, which has so long been an eyesore, and the really beautiful productions of the art smith. Ornamental iron, to bo artistically good, need not necessarily be inordinately expensive, although elaboration may be carried to any extent that the purchaser's purse may be able to meet. Indianapolis enterprise has recognized the requirements of advanced architecture and improved public taste, and art smithery equal to any may be obtained In this city. Under the direction of Mr. F. A. Hetherington the Iletherington & Uerner Company has been gradually reaching out for work of this character, and examples of it may be seen, in some of the residences of the wealthier citi7tns. A fireplace hood which hangs over the handsome grate in Mr. George Sullivan's house was designed by Mr. Hetherington and beaten out of steel in the repousse style at the company's works. They have also recently designed and execute! same gas fixtures which are unique and elaborate. At the present time they are encaged upon a serifs of wrought-iron grilles and gates for the Fletcher's Dank biiildin?. which has recently been remodeled. This work is from designs by architect lJohlen. Hetherington c Berner ComIany, in its structural iron department, have just completed the erection of Its new machinery for pneumatic riveting, and henceforward all structural products will be machine-riveted. In its machine engineering department among other special machines which are made is "the Herschell Iatent Hue welder," a tool that has proven of great utility In railroad and other boiler factories. By the use of this machine as many as two hundred locomotive boiler tubes are welded in ten hours, and the welds are bo neatly made as to escape detection. These machines are in use by many of the leading railroads of the country. Grent Demand for Ilrlck. Present Indications are that there will be more brick used in Indianapolis this year than in any former year. It is estimated by those well Informed, that it will be 50 per cent, in excess of any former year. Actual figures chow that the sewers already under contract will require 18,000,000 brick. To this must be added a large quantity of brick for sidewalks. Ordinarily from 3fi.0D0.WW to 40,ou),0w are used for building purposes and other improvements, and should the buildings be erected that are contemplated it will require a large quantity of brick of superior quality. The manual training school building now in "process of erection will require nearly 3.300,0)0 brick. Said an architect: "Much will depend on the price of brick. Should the brick makers, on account of the demand, advance prices, it may check some important improvements, as the low prices for materials have done much to bring about the increarc of building activity. As the matter now stands. It will require all the brick the local manufacturers and those In surrounding towns will turn out between now and next September. It is understood, however, that a number of yards which were idle last year will resume operations this spring." Busy, but MnkliiK 'o Money. - Love Brothers, proprietors of the Indiana cotton mill, say that they are running full time and with a full complement of employes, but are making no money. During the hard times they have not reduced wages and have kept their 150 loom3 running to enable them to give work t their men and women. They state that as soon as there is an improvement in the business situation they will put in 150 more looms, having ample floor room and power to run the additional machinery. Without question this establishment has one of the largest and most perfect engines in the State, it beinr a compound engine, with 1,500 horse power capacity. KnliirKiug Their PInnt. The Central Cycle Company, located on Garden street, is enlarging Its plant, doubling its capacity. The building they now occupy is one hundred feet long by fifty wide and three stories high. The new building will be of the same dimensions, extending westward over I'ogue's run. This concern is unusually prosierous. The general manager states that two years ago they started up with thirty men. Iast spring they got up to ninety men, and now they have employed 152 men. InduMtrlnl Motes. The Central Chair Company has commenced working lull time and full handed. The president of the company says the outlook is brightening with them. The Jenney Electric Motor Company last week shipped a 200 and a C00 incandescent electric light plant to Chicago and a streetrailway power plant to Frankfort, Ky. Chan. Her & Taylor are putting In one of their sixty-tive horse power engines of the latest design for the Iviycock Manufacturing Company, the works requiring more over. There has been quite an improvement In business with the cooper shops the last few days. Most of the establishments cf this class are now employing their usual number of men. Gillette Brothers, manufacturers, of wagon material, are again quite busy and have eighty men at work. Most of their prcKluct goes to New England and the Northwest. The Hoosler woolen mill is shut down and the Merritt mill Is running only part of the time. General Managor Thalman, of the Hoosier mill, says he does not think it will start up before May 1. Two new commission houses have been opened in the last few day.;, one on South I e la ware street and another on South street, making twenty-three commission houses in that immediate vicinity. The Sinker-Davis machine works arc running full time rind full handed. The company has been very fortunate In securing a contract for a considerable number of garbage crematories on which there is a good deal of work. Commission men say that the sales of Irish potatoes the last thirty days have been the largest ever known on Commission row. Four of the leading houses since the 1st of

March have handled 113 carloads of potatoes and the smaller houses from four to eight carloads. The sales for seed as well as for family consumption have been unprecedentedly large. The Lay cock Manufacturing Company .Is running full time and now has 12 men employed, against ninety men in March, 1SX. Air. Lay cock says the company's business the last thirty days has been a genuine

surprise. The supply of sugar is again ample. In the Jones He Co. warehouse is stored now 5,') barrels and a large lot i3 still on the way. The firm is now using both the old and the new rart of Its brick warehouse, which is 28') feet long by forty wide, and so arranged that ten cars can be unloaded, if necessary. at one time. A new business Is to be started here on the 1st of next month, to be known as the Hogan Transfer end Pa-rcel Company. The company will expend several thousand dollars in the purchase of wagon?, horses, etc., and will bo prepared to handle any article from a small package to the largest safe. In the month of February the Parry Manufacturing Company shipped 2.9C9 fourwheeled vehicles, and In preparing them for shipment over 100,000 feet of rouph lumber was used. Secretary Parry says that while they have not quite as many men on the pay roil3 as last March the pay rolls are larger, as the character of the work has been so improved that better skilled mechanics must be employed. President Mendenhall. of the Hoosier Sweat-collar Company, Btates that they have now some eighty men and women at work on full time. The forty or more sewing machines are run by an Otto gas engine, which works very satisfactorily. He states that orders continue to come in in large numbers. On Thursday last they shipped a carload of sweat collars to one firm In Philadelphia. The women employed at these works make from $5 to S3 a week. AN IMPORTANT CASE. The Whole State Interested in the AntiVaceination Trial. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The above are the first two lines over your account this morning of the Terre Haute trial now going: on, and as they state the matter correctly I am anxious to correct two misapprehensions contained in your dispatch, as they were also published in the Terre Haute papers, and telegraphed to the press of the entire country. First, as to the statement that Professor Pickering, the London expert who testified against vaccination, was "only a clerk n a freight office." This Is not, and never was, he being connected with the London office of the great American Equitable Life Insurance Company. His titles are F. It. G. S. and F. S. S., ai.d, although he Is not practicing medicine, he was educated as a physician. He Is recognized as an expert on the subject of vaccination, commencing Its study forty years ago, and has written upon It largely. He has recently been the receipient of distinguished consideration in Providence and lioston, and passed through this city yesterday on his way to those cities to fulfill important engagements before the legislatures of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Counsel for the Terre Haute Board of Health personally told me that they admired him greatly, and they shook hands with him warmly on his departure. The other statement I wish to correct is the ridiculous one that "Dr. Clarke testified that if the practice of vaccination had been abandoned years ago the human family would know of no smallpox to-day." The stenographer's notes will show no such statement. What I said was that vaccinating during an epldomic time tended to spread smallpox, not that there was affinity between the two (for there is not), but because anything that made people sick or lowered the tone of their health, as does vaccination, would render them far more likely to contract smallpox when it was prevalent. This case being, as you admit, such an important one, a few remarks regarding It may not b? considered Irrelevant or uninteresting, especially as they can hav no influence on the case itself, which is almost certain to be taken to the Supreme Court, however decided now. William Cobbett.M.P., said that "compulsory vaccination can be adopted in no country where the people are not vassals or slaves." It trampics upon human personal rights. If there is anything a man owns In this world it is his own blood. And to Inject anything lnta it, be It good or bad, against his will," even under the form of law, is a grievous outrage upon sacred personal rights as ancient as primeval man. And the parent is responsible for the blood of his' child. The Board of Health acted In thi3 matter with despotic power, and unreasonably, with more power than the Legislature had conferred upon it, more power than the Legislature itself posssssed to confer upon it. ' or even congress useir nas. I sav unrea sonably, because there was not a case of smallpox in the whole county, and none nearer than Muncle. And even after the beard found that there was no emergency, and even declares that there is not a case of smallpox In the whole State, It serenely pursues its tactics of pestiferous and revengeful obstinacy and still refuses the unvaccinated children their rijrhtful prlvileges of education in the public schools. It seems to m? that if the people of the State fully understood this case of despotism they would at once ilse in their might and render its continuance impossible. If It were necessary, for the public good there might be a little warrant for such action, but can such obstinate trampling upon human rights, physical and mental, longer be tamely endured or even be considered necessary for the public health, especially as not a scintilla of proof can be adduced that vaccination protects from smallpox, but oceans to th? contrary? There Is but one place In the State where this despotism Is being displayed, and there about 225 children are affected. If It is risrht in one why is not the board enforcing it in all? Tie secretary of the State Board of Health testlfled that "vaccination, and revaeeination, and revaeeination might prevent irom small!ox." Then why does not the Board, believing that rs vaccination is necessary order it, instead of confining its Machiavellian work to the weak and helpless children? Shoeing the ooits. but l?tting the mares go bare. The original contention was that vaccination prevented smallpox, and henc came compulsion and penalties. This position has wen abandoned by the vaccinationists themselves, and the claim now is for revaeeination. and that it modifies smallpox. This subterfuge is simrv'y the writhings and last gasp of the delusion, advanced by the profession as a cloak to hide its chagrin at the swindle put upon it. and to prolong the Inevitable end of thr fetish when Its exposure before the world will be general and complete. In conclusion, the Terre Haute case can only expose a little of the rottenness, as by the rulings cf the court the literature of the suhlect cannot be drawn upon, but only the absolute personal knowledge of the few interested can be testified to. V. B. CLARKE, M. D. - Indianapoll3, March 23. A Fnlne l.xegenl!i. To the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaJ:. Your issue of March 22 contains an article credited to the New York Advertiser, entitled "The Size of Heaven," in which the author has figured out the size of heaven on the basis of the metaphorical language employed by John In the sixteenth verse of the twenty-first chapter of Revelation, and concludes that there will be space enough to allow all the inhabitants of the earth a room sixteen feet square. The article concludes with the following observation, not in quotation marks: "As the road is broad and well traveled that leads to destruction, the statistician might have added still further to his calculation, possibly he is Unlversalist." Permit me to inform your readers that the author of that absurd exegesis Is not a I'niversalist, for the Unlversalists do not believe in that kind of a heaven. Dr. Clark's commentary contains this note on the sixteenth verse of the twenty-first chapter of Revelation: " 'And th citv lieth four snnaro twelve thousand furlong. The length, and the breadth and the height of it are equal.' It is hard to say how this should be understood. It cannot mean the height of the buildings, nor of the . walls, for neither houses nor walls could be twelve thousand furiongs in height.

The Unlversalists hold, with Dr. Clark, that the description of the 'New Jerusalem "does not refer to heaven, or the place where the immortal are to dwell, for the author distinctly says: "John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Cod out of heaven."

PARLOR BAR ROOMS!

Scheme by Which Saloon Keepers Are Evading the Sundaj' Law. Five Arrests Made by the Police YesterdayWomen Aiding: Their Husbands in Sellins: Liquor. The police kept a close eye on the S ibbath violator yesterday. Law breaking was chiefly confined to the saloon clement and to the proprietor who Insisted on violating the Sunday liquor ordinance. Obviously, the barkeeper persuaded himself that Easter should be a holiday, and In conformity with the usual holiday custom run up his blinds, but he sold whisky indiscriminately. The entire police force was on the alert, and last night the slate at the station house Indicated five arrests on the charge of giving away or selling liquor on Sunday. The police have come to realize that there is a determined effort on the rart of the saloon men to disobey the law, regardless of the strict surveillance under which they are being kept. So zealous have the liquor dealers grown in .the determination to thwart the department that tiome of them have converted their residences into barrooms. There are numbers of saloon men who live over their places of business, and by means of improvissd bars dispense liquor both In the parlor and kitchen. The police say that this plan is worked successfully in many portions of the city. A proprietor who lives over his saloon closes his place on Saturday night and the patrolman who is sent to watch it Sunday sees no indication of law breaking. The blinds are down and the entire bur is exposed from front to rear. The patrolman Is satlsded that liquor is being sold upstairs, perhaps in th? parlor, but he dares not Invade the privacy of the apartment. In many instances the p orietor of a saloon has an able and cralrv distant in the person of his wife. The police say that on Sunday a rrman tits at the window of a saloon on Nobla street and views the face of every man who attempts to enter through the iron gate at the rear of her husband's bar. If the man 13 a patron of the place she releases the latch by means of a wire, one end of which is attached to the gate and the other arranged so that it can be conveniently reached. If the applicant for admission is a stranger or a policeman the gate does not respond to his touch. On Dillon street another saloon man has his wife stationed at the window. The police are authority for the statement that the woman gives the alarm the moment .a patrolman appears In that vicinity. At another saloon the favorite manner of entrance Is through a side gate. Apparently the gate la securely lock?d on Sunday, and It is impossible for the novice to secure admittance. To the "safe" customer the matter is simple enough. Fifteen or twenty feet away from the pate is an aperture In the fence large enough for the ordinary hand to pass through. If tha visitor i familiar with the premises he reaches through this hole, grasps a wire and gives a slight pull. As if by magic the gate swings open, ajid then closes with a click which locks It. Yesterday afternoon, while seeking for one of these secret locks. Sergeant Lapcrte experienced a narrow escape from a cold drenching. The Sergeant strayed too near the wall of the saloon and was barely able to dodge the icy contents of a bucket directed toward him by a- woman who leaned from an upstairs window. With wrathful Indignation the Sergeant announced, that a repetition of the act would cause he arrest of the lady. Apologies Mere forthcoming at once. The police say that the most exasperating of liquor violators is the proprietor of the saloon-restaurant. Usually these reports are combined in one room, and It Is impossible to sell Intoxicants over the bar after the legal hour. To obviate this difficulty proprietors employ an ingenious plan. A custcmer seats himself at the table and orders a cup of beef tea or chocolate. The waiter, procuring a cup, retires to the rear and a moment later returns with the : order, which Is usually about "four fingers" of the potion signified by a sign from the custom. r. Te police assert that this plan i has been adopted by nearly every saloon " keeper in Indianapolis who combines a restaurant witn nis liquor Dusiness. i'atrolman Lonnis yesterday arrested Ernest Buschman, bartender at the resort of Jack Lynch, No. 335 Virginia avenue. Joel Williams, at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Noble street, was arrested by patrolman Haley, who saw a glass of beer sold by the proprietor. Andrew Ball, proprietor of a place on South Delaware street, was brought in by patrolman Balcom. Frank Loyd was caught at No. IK Virginia avenue by patrolman Sullivan. Patrolman Kiefer scented a suspicious atmosphere about the saloon of Daniel Host on East Washington street and arrested the proprietor. A ROYAL FOOT WASH Kit. An ImpoKtnff Ceremony nt Which AiiMtrlii'M Emperor OflleinteN. New York Press. "Green ThursdaA." the day before Good Friday, is observed by the Emperor Francis Joeeoh of Austria In a peculiar -way. The Emp'eror. In the presence of a brilliantly attired retinue, washes the feet of twelve old men. representing the twelve apostles, after which he hangs a silken bag filled with money about their necks. An eye witness of this ceremony held a year ago in Vienna thus described it to a Press reporter: "About two hundred persons were assembled In the hall where the ceremony was to take place, when at 11 o'clock sharp a peculiar sort of knocking on the marble and mosaic floor announced the coming of his Majesty and suite. At the same time twelve venerable old men filed Into the apartment, taking their seats on a dal?, on which an arm chair had been placed for each one. Thev looked somber and thoughtful with their flowing white hair and beards. They wore white woolen robes reaching to "their feet and a cape of the same material. Their naked feet were encased in white slippers without heels. In addition they sported white kid gloves, which appeared to me strangely out of place. "Again the peculiar knocking was heard, and turning toward the entrance I beheld the master of ceremonies. He was dressed In eighteenth century fashion, very gorgeous and unbecoming, and carried a glided staff, such as we observe occasionally in fairy ballots on the stage as the attribute of a good or evil genius. The count, for such he was, had his back toward the onlookers, and as he came into the room, crab fashion, he struck the floor with his staff. The Emperor and a host of archdukes followed and walked to the throne where his Malesty took his seat, while some of the younger members of the imperial house remained standing. They were all in thdr regimentals, spurred and dragging long swords behind thom. One of the princes even had a cartridge box at his side When all had taken their respective positions the bishops and priests began to say mass at the high altar, temporarily erected opposite the throne. After the mass the master of ceremonies lev! the high priest before the throne with many courtesies. Some words were exchanged between the Emperor and the prince bishop, and presently Francis Joseph walked down anil across the room to where the old men were sitting. "When he stood almost before them the Emperor handed his hat to a functionary who received It and then looked around for somebody to take charge of it. Three highly decorated persons aspired to this ottlce. but the master of ceremonies, with a magnifleient sweep of his stick, motioned them back, and a fourth party, all smiles, hove into sisrht and to him the precious chapeau was finally delivered. Meanwhile one of the priests had turned over a silver pitcher said to contain water from the river Jordan to the master of ceremonies, who thereupon gave up his staff and assumed the duties of a common lackey. A gentleman in priestly robes joined him. holding in both hands a golden vessel. Finally a functionary called the general intendant cam. up with a dozen or more towels bearing the Emperor's initials and crown worked In yellow silk. "Francis Joseph commenced the foot washing on the senior of the twelve men. The following ceremonial was observed: The master of ceremonies handel the pitcher to his Majesty, and while the priest held the golden vessel under the foot of one of the men the Emperor poured a small quantity of water over the toes of the victim. Then the man with the towel appeared. towed low three times, rattled hi sword and gave the Emperor the linen, which Francis Joseph applied to the wet foot in a rather perfunctory style. Then bo passed to the next old man. while an ancient prelate, the "stifts-propst," kissed the foot thus cleansed. "When his Majesty got through with No. 12 a host of functionaries appeared with golden vessels and bowls to give him a chance to wash his hands. This over the Emperor again took his seat on the throne, while the unhappy official having charge of his hat emerged from the background to hand him that piece of wearing apparel on his bended knee. The priests after that conducted another series of musical services at the hlirh a'tar and hnilly tharchbishop pronounced the blessing with great pomp and ceremony. "The twelve old men kept their seats all the time. No sooner bad the blessing been

pronounced than a pag arrfl carrying twelve silken biigs lilld with coin and embroidered in the Austrian colors, on a Fold tray. The Emperor walked toward the boy and taking the ba?s one after another hung one around the neck of each cf the twelve old men.

"A good nature! official explained to me why the twelve apostles were so eager to find out the exact amount of their allowance. 'His Majesty has been cutting down expenses of late,' he said, 'and it was feared thnt he might reduce the astles fee.' I sincerely hope the apostles will go on a strike whenever Francis Joseph attempts such a thing." OKIGIV OF ANARCHISM. Proudhon, Who Flrt l itetl the Word, Wnn n True Idcallt. Literary Digest Dr. Karl Jeutsch, in Schorer's Famlllenblatt, Berlin, seeking for the origin cf anarchism, goes back to medieval history, to the many endeavors of the poor to throw off the yok? of the wealthy, to the social revolutions of early times, and while he does. not tind the word anarchism, he contends that the thing itself did actually exist. He refers esp?cially to the German war of the peasants as a notable Instance of an organized uprising against the privileged classes; and upon the failure of this war he bases the rise of absolute monarchy in Eurcpe, which, he says, with Its bureaucracy and standing armies made all attempts at a popular rising impossible for nearly three hundred years; then the French revolution shook this absolutism to its verv foundations. Looked upon from this point of view,- he continues, anarchism is nothing but the desire for freedom which vents Itself in English trade-unionism and German socialism. Hut the struggle of the poor against the rich is often accompanied by the resistance of the individual against the community. Men in whom this individualism is very strongly developed are repulsed by both trade-unionism and socialism, for both pvstems impose more or less irksome restraint. The man who first used the word anarchism for the system was one of the noblest characters of his time, and had nothing in common with rascals of the Ravaehol fraternity. His name was Peter Joseph Proudhon. With Karl Marx, he based his plans for reform on the supposition that the laborer is robbed bv the capitalist. Marx Investigated production, and found fault with the arrangements of modem industries, while Proudhon laid the fault at the door of the trade. In hl.s work, "Qu" e3t-ce la propriete," he points out that no one will of his own free will give more than he receives in return. The workman, however, gives to the employer more than he receives in wages, forced to do so by our social and political systems. Therefore, the present exchange between the worker an 1 the capitalist i3 neither free nor just, and th property of the latter is acquired by theft. Two Germans, the merchant Hess, and the teacher Grun, further developed the Frenchman's ideas. The rapid advance of invention seemed to them to insure the possibility that a time would come when the children could playfully produce everything we need. The reaction which followed the revolutionary movement during the forties suppressed anarchy for a decade. In the Fixties it arose again; the Russian Michael Bankunln organized International anarchism as opposed to the German social-democracy organized by Ferdinand Eassalle. Bakunln condemns the state In every form as a destroyer of personal Ilbertv. His Idea, like that of Proudhon' s, is what Proudhon calls anarchy, not a wild war of everv one aealnst every one else, but perfect liberty with perfect order, every one being usoful to the rest of mankind by doing that which pleases himself. Bakunin's pupil, Sergei Netschajew, went further and began our present anarchism. He Intended to revolutionize all the Russian peasantry; he- called the robbers to his aid and declared robbery "one of the most honorable modes of life among the Russian people." He busied himself les3 with dreams of the Utopia of the Anarchists than with the destruction of our present social system. He is the originator of the "propaganda of action," and recommends violence not only for the removal of obnoxious persons, but also "to show the people what iower we possess." Dissenters from the Socialists adopted these views, and international anarchism c?.me into being. Its first organization was tlie Federation Furasslenne at Geneva, which was composed of Spaniards, Belgians and French. The German Anarchists acknowledged John Most as their hed. He edited the Freihelt at Berlin, but was sentenced to state prison because he asked the people of all countries to follow the example of the Russian Anarchists in murdering Czar Alexander. In Germany the Socialists have expelled from their ranks all who sympathize with anarchism. THE HVC.LISH SENATE. The House of LodIn a n L.eg:ilntive llnlfince "Wheel. George W. Smalley, In Harper. If the House of Lords In its legislative capacity Is to be defended, It must be on American principles. Put aside its hereditary character, not now defensible on any principle, consider it merely as a second Chamber, and you will ilnd that the most effective defense of it may be drawn frcm American analogies and American precedents. Indeed, before an American tries to judge the situation in England, he would do well to put clearly before himself the difference between his own Constitution and that of the United Kingdom so far as it affects this issue. He must take into account the undisputed fact that the House of Lords is the s-le check upon the legislative su premacy or the House of Commons. Let him try to draw a parallel between Westminster and Washington, and consider with ... K . r. r ....... i . . i . .-airh"n is alia precautions constitutional legislation at Washington is heuged about, and how every one of them Is wanting at Westminster. There is at Westminster no distinction between the making of an ordinary law and of fundamental law, or of what we call a constitutional amendment. There are no more formalities in the one case than in the other, nor any different in procedure. A bill which subverts the Constitution of this re-alm is brought in like any other bill, and may be passed through the House of Commons like any other bill. between 10 o'clock and midnight, by a bare majority. It may be forced through by the closure and without dtbate. or half debated. A constitutional amendment in America is a matter of a few lines, the declaration of a single principle or purpose; brief, clear, easily unde-rstanded of all men. The bill passed by the House of Commons may be, as the recent bill to amend the provision for the government of Ireland, commonlv called the home-rule bill, was an extremely intricate, complicated and voluminous bill a bill of forty clauses and seven schedules; a bill profoundly modifying the rMitions of the component parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland; dissolving a legislative union, creatlntr n. new legislature and a new executive In Ireland, and profoundly modifying the Constitution of the House of Commons itself. Such a bill may be, and in fact was, passed by the drastic use of the cloture; more than two-thirds of it unde bated, unconsidered, by the House at any stage; not even amendments allowed to be put to vote. Thaj. bill, so psissed, would be law to-day if there were no House of Lords. You may think it ought to ln. but do you think it ougTit to b passed in that way? If you do you condemn the American system and reproach the authors of the American Constitution. Any bill, any measure of constitutional innovation, onco passed, goes to the House of Lords, and the House of Lords Is thenceforward the sole means by which the final passage of it can be delayed. There are no State legislatures to which it can be referred. There Is no Supreme Court which can directly or indirectly declare it to be unconstitutional. Every act of Parliament is constitutional. The English Constitution, in so far as it has any written existence, consists of acts of Parliament, and one is as good as another. No English court wouid listen to an argument based on the alleged unconstitutionality of a statute. There Is no such thing. Constitutionality, as S:ldon said of privilege, is whatever Parliament pa-sses. There is no veto. The veto of the crown, once valid and effective, and not infrequent, has not been used since Queen Anne's time; and Queen Anne, as we all know, is dead. The last veto was in 1707. There is no machinery by which a bill can be referred to the people, unless indirectly through the House of Lords. There is no provision for ascertaining the real nonse of the people, either thdr second thoughts if a bill has been passed in obedience to a popular wish or impulse, or their first thoughts if the bill be without popular backing. It may be the offspring of & powerful minister or of a pushing clique. The people may never have asked for It. If they have not, they cannot be consulted. Th Gentleman Farmer of the South. Octave Thanet, In Scribner. The gentleman, indeed, has taken to agriculture in the South. Hefore the war the whole Southorn social system rested on the planter. There has leen an Insidious and t.oiseless Industrial revolution since; but the plarter remains the main support of the taxts. We have no class among Northern farmers that quite answers to his. He resembles more the English country gentleman of a past generation, when country

gentlemen did not so to town. All the same it will not do to count the planter out of our scheme; he is tne most American farmer of them ail, barely excepting the New Englander, who is disappearing every year. He furnishes a conservative, native-born Influence of immense account. A class that still believes in God. women and honor, thai may fe astra-v by hot-headed prejudices, but that can neither be bought nor cowed, is a class to be valued, tdnce it Is a3 tru to-day as In Goldsmith's time, that 111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey. Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. HOW TORPEDOES ACT OX SHirS.

It Takra Time to Slnli nn Ironclad with n Syntem of Compartment. Westminster Gazette. Naval men must be amused at the terri ble explosions on paper caused to war ships as portrayed in the recent editions of "pen ny dreadfuls." A torpedo discnargea irom a torpedo boat is supposed to have blown her Majesty's steamship Narcissus, a vesversel of 5,600 tons. Into twain, which ship "then plunged stern foremost Into the sea, and with the union jack still flying, disappeared without a soul on board being able to save himself." I was present when I believe two torpedoes, with 1V pounds of guncotton in each, were discharged against her Majesty's steamship Resistance, protected by nets, as an experiment in Portsdown creek; the Resistance was specially strengthened, but 6he had not nearly as many separate compartments as our new ships. She certainly sank at the last discharge when the nets had given away, but sank slowly; there was no "blowing out of the water" about it at all. The Resistance was, if 1 remember rightly, of about 4.&H) tonnage. The new eighteen-inch locomotive torpedoes, like those in her Majesty's steamship Havock, carry 2 pounds cf guncotton aa their charge, and it is to be hoped that similar experiments with this charge will be made with them, for It Is Quite possible that an increased amount of explosive may not have an equally Increased power of damage. As to the actual effect of guncotton employed in blowing vessels into the air 1 can call to mind one case which happened to my personal knowledge. A slave dhow of about forty tons burden had been chased by the boats of one of our crullers and escaped Immediate capture by running up a creek In the north part of Pemba island, near Zanzibar, he arrived at the top of spring tides, and had been lightened beforehand. Although condemned in the Zanzibar Prize Court, she could not be floated for several days. A party of men was there fere sent on shore to destroy her. and two sixteen-iound charges of guneottan were placed under her keel, holes being dug out and tampered down, one under the m?si and the other about twelve feet from the stern. Instantaneous fuses were fitted in pistols, and the ixirty retired about fifty yards Into the bush. The Arabs were la numbers looking on. not offering any resistance. When the pistcs were fired together, by the fall of a flag, the dhow was hoisted bodily upward Into the air some thirty or rorty feet, broke in two in a V form and fell in pieces. The Arabs rushed away, crying out. "Ajib, Khaitan" (Wonderful, the devil), and this Incident struck a considerable blow against the proceedings of the Pemba slave importers. Still there Is a great difference in blowing up a vessel of forty tons, almost on land, with thirtytwo pounds of guncotton and blowing up a ship of 5.000 tors In water even wlttt two hundred pounds cf guncotton. I do not mean by the foregoing to suggest that the latter charge wold not be fatal sooner or later to any cruiser if it struck her amidships, and if it struck a battle ship It would be almost, if not quite, tantamount to putting her out of action, but the Idea of sudden extinction, except for these poor fellows who happen to be in the Immediate neighborhood of the explosion, may be disregarded. What with all our new modes of warfare it is a certainty that in naval battles of the future there will be a far greater chance of Individual extinction than of distinction. A Scripturul Selection. New York Commercial Advertiser. While Joe Jefferson was down at hie Louisana plantation last year the wife of one of hi3 neighbors died and Mr. Jefferson called to express his sympathy and regrets. While he was at the house the clergyman arrived to make arrangements for the funeral. Neither the man nor his wife had been a church member. The husband was prostrated with grief but he aroused himself as the clergyman entered. Ms there any particular portion of the Scriptures you would like me to reid at the funeral?" asked the clergyman. The husband sat up, mopped his eyes and thought for a moment. "Well, you might try that bit alout Samson and the foxes," he exclaimed, finally: "I guess that's about as funny as any of em." Grcnt Heud. rhiladelrhla Tress.
