CUBA'S INSUKKECTION

FOLIt PROV INCES 11EPO UTE U TO BE I IX A STATE OF IlEIIELLIOX. Jttaxlmo Oome, Leader of the Pat- ; riot,- Xow ,1a .the FIcJd S tutus (, of the AHIanoa Incident. TAMPA, Fla., March 2!. Puerto Principe has been declared In a state of rebellion by the Spanish government. This makes four out of five provinces of the island in a state of revolution. The report that Maximo Gomez is in Cuba and is now at the head of the uprising js confirmed. Passengers from Havana declare that so soon as this is officially known, the whole island will rise en masse. Many of the Spanish troops which arrived in Havana Monday are sick and several have died. Vice Consul Gavino Gutierrez has Just received this official information by letter from Governor General Callaja: "Four battalions of troops arrived In Santiago de Cuba March 22 and three battalions at Havana on the 25th In all 7,000 men. The movement is entirely In the province of Santiago de Cuba and is composed mostly of negroes headed by Guillermon Moncanda. Spanish troops have formed a strong cordon around the province of Santiago to prevent advance movements of insurgents. Marti, Gomez and Collazo are at Monte Cristo, San Domingo and Macco is at Costa Rica, other provinces are perfectly quiet and they repudiate the movement." The dispatch-from Madrid saying that Martinez Campos had been ordered to Cuba, raises the hopes of the Cubans, who say it Is the best proof ' of seriousness of the movement. Colonel A. Frigueredo said in an interview: "I am glad Martinez Campos poes to Cuba, for if Maximo Gomez la in the field he will defeat Campos, and then, lie is the only man of any Importance in the Spanish army." It is reported uprisings have taken place lately in Camagury. Marouis Santa Lucia, report says, has taken th field, which would indicate that Gomez is on Cuban soil. Cubans are jubilant over the news. Spanish authorities declare that Gomez, Marti and Macco and the brothers Collazo are "still at San Domingo, whence the captain general of Havana - receives information daily confirming their presence. THE ALL1AXCA IXCTDEXT. Rtnte Department Official Satlslled with the Action of Spain. WASHINGTON, March 29. -Reports that the Spanish government is taking steps to meet the requests of the United States in the A llianoa affair; that the commander of the offending Spanish cruiser has beei relieved from his ship, and that orders have been sent to the oth3r Spanish commanders in Cuban waters to observe the requirements of International law and refrain frcm Improper interference with th.j ship cf the United States and other foreign nations, Jias caused much ffrati.lcation in oHicil circles here. Although the State Department officials decline, to admit the fact, there Is reason to belie vt. that theso matters have been communicated to them either through United Siates Minister Taylor, at Madrid, or through' Senor Muruaga, the Spanish minister nere. There is now no disposition in any quarter to doubt that the .Spanish assurances are salisfactoi-y as far as they go, and that the incident has already passed Into a phase where U will yield to adjustment by ordinary methods of diplomacy. There is HtttVdoubt that the new Spanish minister, Seno- De Lome, will go to Cuba before coming here. The effect cf this will be to leave Spain without a minister in the United Stit.;s after tha next two weeks. The new mlt.ieter could not reach here by that tlnv if he came direct, and as he will wait to ?o with a iroop shp to Cuba it will take considerable time fr-r Mm to reach the united States. The Spanish legation will be under the direction f a charge d'affaires attar th ltkh or 12th. It is said, however, that no significance will attach to these conditions, aa they are necessary vnder the i-ircumstanees, , although It comes at-an unfortunate time when grave questions are pending between the , United States and Spain. The Spanish legation denies the Florida report that an expedition of 14.000 revolutionists Is about to leave Florida for Cuba. It is said, however, that actual enlistments a re now being made in New Orleans. From the Spanish standpoint, the insurrection has been recognized as existing, and reports concerning it have been made to the State Department. But the Spanish government, it is declared, does not intend to carry this recognition to the point of proclaiming a' rebellion to be in existence, aa ths would be a step toward recognizing tha insurgent cause for Cuban independence. It Is claimed, also, that the State Depertment has in effect recognized the existence cf the insurgents as it has invoked the operation of the protocol of the Spanish t"-e.uy which protects American citizens in Cuba, charged vrith sedition, treason or conspiracy agairst trial by martial law. It is rumored that the Cuban revolutionists have made indiiect efforts to have the United States reeofir.ize them under the law of nations as belligerents. It is not known, however, that they have done more than urge the ,'ustfce of their cause on Senators and members of Congress, and certainly there is no present prospects of the grant of any such lecognltlon. Minister De Lomr Will Visit Cuba. MADRID, March 29. Senor Dupuy De Lome, the new Spanish minister to the United States, will accompany Marshal Martinez Campos to Cuba, sailing on April A next, the objct of his visit to that island eing to investigate, before proceeding to Washington, the siory of the firing on the American steamship Allianca. General Arderlus. brother-in-law of Marshal Campos, retains command of the Spanish troop.s at JIavana, pending the arrival of the Marshal. l.lcnt. Ybarra Snanenderf. SANTIAGO DE CUBA. March 29. Lieut. Ybarra has been relieved from command of the Sonde Venauito, which fired on the American -steamer Allianca. Captain Matena has been appointed to succeed Lieutenant Yfcarra. ' lienor Capriles. civil governor of the province of Santiago, has resigned. Silver In AVent Virginia. HUNTINGTON, W. Vs.. March 29.-Much xcltement prevails in Wayne countv over the supposed discovery of silver on White's crek. During the past few weeks an immense tdlde has occurred in a hill there, which develops large quantities of the shining metal. The fact has been kept very o,uiet by the owner of the lands, and was only this morning made public. A close guard is now being kept on the premises. ' Suicide of a Traveling: Man.

report from Chicago that the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern had suspended its notice of withdrawal from the president's agreement. He says: "Not only has the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern withdrawn, finally and irrevocably, but the parent road, the Baltimore & Ohio, is likely to withdraw, too. There Is trouble In Chicago over rates to tha Baptist convention, which can hardly result in any othsr way." . 31'KIXLEY AT SAVANNAH.

"Welcomed Iy White Republicans and Officials of that City. SAVANNAH, March 29. Governor McKinley arlved her at 10 o'clock to-night. He was met at the depot by a committee of prominent white Republicans with carriages. He and his party were escorted to the De Soto Hotel. Soon afterwards an official committee representing the city waited ou him. After a pleasant exchange of courtesies Mayor Myers stated to the Governor that the City Council would call on him in a body at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning to pay their respects. Prominent business men will also be introduced to him at that time. If the Governor desires to hold a public reception the City Council chamber- was placed at h'.s disposal. Owing to his physical fatigue Governor McKinley thought this inadvisable. After the reception of the City Council to-morrow the entire party will be taken for a drive through Savannah and its suburbs and if time permits for a ride on the river with an informal luncheon. Governor McKinley will leave Savannah for Washington to-morrow night. To-morrow afternoon a committee of prominent negro Republicans will probably call on . him. ADDICKS LOST ONE VOTE. Result of the Ninety-Sixth Ballot for Senator in Delaware. DOVER, Del., March 29. For the first time since the balloting for a United States Senator began, nearly three months ago, one of Addicks'a followers deserted him today and cast his ballot for James Pennewill, a prominent Dover lawyer. Before the two houses met to-day the air was full of rumors of desertions, tut no one thought for a moment that, after sticking to Addicks for ninety-five ballots, any of his six faithful followers would desert him. When the first ballot was taken there was much excitement in the. House. For the past few days it has been rumored that the Higglns and Addicks men would unite on Pennewill, but the story could not be confirmed. Today's developments, however, seem to bear out the rumor. The Addicks people profess to feel confident that there will be no more desertions from their man, but it is probable, that a climax will be reached in a few days. The legislators are becoming tired of the deadlock and do not hesitate to say so." The two ballots to-day resulted: Higgins, Republican. 1; Addicks, Republican. 5; Massey, Republican, 4; Pennewill, Republican, 1; Richardson, Republican, 1: Richards, Republican, 6; Ridgley, Democrat, 9; Tunnell, Democrat, 1; J. G. Gray, Democrat, 1. A Rabid Prohibitionist.; CONCORD, N. H., March 29. The session of the New Hampshire Legislature came to an end to-day amid considerable excitement, caused chiefly by the veto of several important appropriation measures by Gov. Buslel. and by, the -action of .Mr. Remin, of Littleton, the Prohibition leader, who poured forth-a tirade against the upper branch, characterizing the members as "knaves and liars." Among the more important measures vetoed by Governor Busiel were the tuberculosis bill, carrying $100,000 for prosecuting the work of exterminating the disease and reimbursing owners of diseased cattle; that appropriating 25,0J0 for new build.ng3 at the State Agricultural College, and the Dartmouth College bill, giving $10,000 to the Institution. " Effort to Defeat Woman Suffrage. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 29. The entire day was taken up again in the constitutional convention on a discussion of the woman suffrage question. Roberts and Goodwin spoke against the measure and others in favor of it. Roberts Insisted that woman suffrage would endanger the Constitution. He referred to woman suffrage in other States, and said of the 25,000 women registered in Chicago at the last election only 8.0OO voted and that 5,000 of that number were so disgusted that they would never go to the polls again. Varian claimed that suffrage should be granted because' it was one of the pledges of the people. Morton Not Against Piatt. PHILADELPHIA, March 29. State Senator Jacob Canter, of New York, one of the members of the Lexow committee, was in town to-day. He said that Mayor Strong's bi-partisan bill now pending in the Legislature, will be passed, but that in such a case. Superintendent Byrnes would no doubt be retained in his present position. The Senator asserted that it was not true that Governor Morton has ignored the dictates of Mr. Piatt, and cast his lot with Mayor Strong. . ,. Distillery Slops Bad for Cattle. PEORIA, 111., March 29. The State Senate committee, appointed to investigate feeding of slop to cattle, arrived in this city, this afternoon, and will visit the distilleries here and at Pekin. John H. Madden, of Chicago, their attorney, stated that the testimony so far taken shows that feeding of slop to cattle is injurious to tissue, blood and milk, and that germs of disease produced In fermentation may be communicated thereby. , Minnesota Annexation Scheme. ST. PAUL, March 29. A Joint resolution was Introduced by Senator Spencer in the Senate to-day and promptly passed under a suspension of rules, looking to the annexation of that part of the State of Wisconsin in which the city of Superior is located to the State of Minnesota, in-order that the cities of Duluth and Superior may be consolidated into one large city.

FAV0BS SUNDAY BALL

A TEItRIi IIAITE RABBI FAVORS THE GAME OX THE SABBATH. First Game of the Season to lie Played at Indianapolis To-Day-Pre-li miliary Practice. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 29. This city is having a war between those opposed and those in favor of Sunday baseball. The civic federation has undertaken the task of suppressing it and has asked all the ministers of the city to join the movement. With one exception, Rabbi Lyons, of the Jewish congregation, they accepted the invitation. The Rabbi said he was in favor of Sunday recreation in the form of baseball and refused to join the other ministers. A special request was made to the rabbi that he give his views on the subject, which he did in a lecture to-night. The following briefly outlines his sentiments: : ' "There is forming In this city an organization bent on the reformation of the city. It is based on the presumption that our city is an awful town, degenerate and immoral. This is a presumption I cannot accept. I have given proper examination to the matter and I . find, and now maintain, that we are not so bad as our sombre critics of the pulpit assume. I asknowledge that unrighted wrongs, the violation of laws and a share of evil exist in our midst. We are not a heavenly city I avow. I know of no such place in the terrestial geography of my knowledge. We are like other cities and cities are like individual men, women, children and ministers, they have the shortcomings incident to and unavoidable by human frailty. Still our ministers denounce our supposed badness and we must have a Civic federation. "What does it propose to do? It will seek to reform our city by the enforcement of laws, by closing the saloons on Sunday, by outrooting gambling, by prohibiting baseball on Sunday. It may undertake other things, but for the present I believe it will have its hands full. What will it accomplish? Nothing of any worth. Hear the reasons. It will not bring about a auieter Sunday here, this is impossible. Even with the saloons open drunkenness is seen nowhere and there is no visible sign of their evil influence. Would it then reform the city by closing them? Even if it does succeed in bringing about Sunday closing it will not have reformed a single individual. To the contrary it will increase the drinking of those who wish to indulge and must do it secretly. Besides, the majority of the patrol 3 of Sunday saloons are honorable citizens who resort thither for an hour's pastime or refreshments. Since these people are orderly I cannot see that It is the right of church or minister to deny to them what they want. They want the saloons as others want barber shops and soda fountains on Sunday and they, as much as others, are entitled to the satisfaction of their orderly demands. It is true that the law requires Sunday closing, but laws are not absolute, they express the wish of the people and, as such are subject to such modification or admit of such modification as the wish of a considerable part of the people wills. "As to gambling, it is a frightful thing, but can you crush it by law? No more than you can manufacture moral children by parental law making. It is a passion that must perish by death at its own hand. Besides, gambling exists because the passion of those who seek it wants it. To prohibit it by law is only to drive it into more criminal hiding, if you would by law hedge ibout the passion of those who gamble why not be consistent and fence in the life of those young men who sap their life and character more disastrously in houses of ill fame. "Finally, as regards Sunday baseball. I must utter loud denunciation of any attempt to oppose it as long as it be conducted without interference with others. After a boas and his clerk have spent "a wearing week of toil they are entitled to a wholesome, harmless and invigorating recreation. I am so far from opposing Sunday baseball that I regret there is not more Sunday entertainment for the masses vho toil all week. The present American Sunday is a dismal failure as far as the true rest is concerned. The majority of the people do not go to church. Shall they sit and hold their hands and lengthen their faces simply to please the gloomy religiousness of somber ministers? God love3 faces that beam and hearts that beat with gladness. Prohibit Sunday baseball and you will not . fill the churches, you will cover street corners and streets with flirting clerks and dudes and you will not reform anybody. A city Is composed of people and you cannot reform it unless you reform its people. But you cannot regenerate people by law.. It must be done by suasion and gentleness. If the ministry and the church cannot use effectively this, their proper means, let them acknowledge it and keep their siience. . "If the Civic Federation does succeed in its intention to obtain the Sunday observance it wishes I shall raise voice in the name of consistency and demand that every present Sunday business apart from necessity be closed. Then must the livery stable close and the 'tonsorial artist' allow his patrons to go shaggy to church. Cigars may not.be sold and the refreshing fountain must not give forth its cooling soda. The wealthy constituents of the church may enjoy their rides of pleasure in handsome vehicles, but the poor man, with only a few cents, must be the miserable victim of the people who prescribe his religion. Thus will the Sunday, the national, not sectarian, day of rest, become a day of Godless gloom instead of a day of hearty gladness." FIRST GAME OF SEASON. Indianapolis and Idlt Artillery Will Play This Afternoon. This afternoon the first game of ball of the season of 1895 will be played here, the Light Artillery team being the contestants with the Indianapolis Western League team. The Artillery team has put in a good many hours at hard practice this week, and will give the professionals a struggle, although their admirers do not have the courage to predict a victory for the soldier boys. The League team will be as follows, batting in the orc7er named: Henry, m. ; McCarthy, 1. f . ; Nicol, r. f . ; Motz, lb; McFarland and Wood, c. ; Roat, 3b; White, s. s.; Giflord, 2b; Pastorius and Sonier, p.

It Is as follows: Scott, 3b; Joss, 2b; Olin, c; Dowd, lb; Schwabacher, p.; Griffith, 1. f.; Adam, m.; Madden, s. s.; Swan, r. f. The practice yesterday was of a character to make the smile on President Watkins's face broaden somewhat. He has two men whom he has tried on second, and he can hardly say too much in praise of either. Gifford held that bag yesterday, and his playing was looked upon as almost perfect. Walters was in liner trim yesterday, and seemed able to cover, alone, more than half the outfield. He is a fast runner and quick in his judgment, and seems able to capture a ball, with little allowance from whence it may be sent. Yesterday the players divided in two nines and played two games, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The teams were captained by Motz and Veach. The teams were composed as follows batting in the ordered named: Regulars Henry, r. f.; McCarthy, 1. f.; NicolI, m. ; Motz. lb.; Wood, c. ; Roat, 3b.; McCormick, 2b.; White, s. s.; Pastorius, p. Irregulars Coughman, 3b.; McFarland, c; Veach, lb.; Walters, s. s.; Wittrock. r. f.; Fisher, m.; Cross, 1. f.; Gifford, 2b.; Sonier, p. . The score was 18 to 10 In favor of the regulars. McFarland made the longest hit ever seen on -the grounds, knocking the ball over the left field fence at the point of the "shoe"sign. It was a remarkable hit. Pastorius pent a ball to center field safe for a home run. McCormick made four hits, four times at bat. Wallie Andrews was the umpire.The afternoon game was another victory for the regulars by a score of 9 to 2. The clubs lined up at the bat as follows; Regulars Henry, m.; McCarthy, I. f. ; NicolI. r. f.; Motz, lb: McFarland, c; Roat, Sb.; McCormick, 2b.; White, s. s.; Wittrock, I. . Irregulars Coughman, Sh.; Wood, c. ; Veach, lb.; Walters, s. s.; Fisher, p.; Gifford, 2b.; Pastorius, m.; Cross, r. f.; Sonier, 1. f. The game lasted seven innings that of the morning being of six innings. There were SoO people present at the afternoon game, both bleachers being filled. McFarland made another home run and Motz made a four-bagger and two three-baggers. Roat made a three-bagger and a double. Gifford and White did good work, with the stick. Roat, McCarthy and . Motz made the first double play, a Sharp one, of the for to-day's game as well as for the games of the entire season may be had at the Alcarzar. at Charles F. Meyer's and at the Grand Hotel. The club will go to Cincinnati to-morrow to play with the home club there Sunday and Monday, leaving this city at 8:1j a, m. On Tuesday the club will play on the home grounds with the Grand-avenues compoeel of the professional players Who are glgneJ In other

j cities, but who have not yet reported. The club will be composed of Bohlen. Veach,

Jtamsey. the schaub brothers, the bowuers brothers, Raffert, Fisher and Barnes. Manager Watkins said last night that there was no certainty of getting Canavan from the Cincinnati club, and that while he would like to sign Canavan, he had not done so yet. - Police Rail Team Organized. The baseball association of the police force held its first meeting for the season yesterday afternoon and elected the following officers for the present seasons Capt. Robert Campbell, president; Capt. James Quigley, vice president and mam ager; E. F. Harrissecretary and treasurer. The nine this year will be composed partly of the members of last season's team and partly of new men. The practice and selection of the team will commence in a week or so, and all the blue coats who care to try will be given a chance to show what they can do in handling swift balls. It is expected to arrange games with the teams of police forces in Evansville, Fort Wayne, Muncie and other principal cities of the State. League Practice Games.

The Steamer Muriel's Exnerieuee with Florida- Robbers. NEW YORK, March 29. The steamer Muriel of the, Quebec Steamship Company, arrived here to-day from Sagua La Grande, Cuba, after a lively experience with Florida wreckers. The steamer stranded on Tennessee reef, Florida, on the night of March 11, but was assisted off by wreckers, and arrived at Key West the day following. She was not seriously injured, but the wreckers libeled her in the admiralty court for $23,000 salvage. Captain Haliburton said the ship could rot at Key West before he would pay any such sum. The men had worked eight hours, discharging some of the cargo of sugar, and he thought the claim unjust. After remaining in port ten days the American Sugar Refining Company, which owned the cargo, telegraphed that it must have its consignment, so Captain Haliburton compromised with the wreckers for $10,400, which made the compensation $1,300 an hour or nearly $22 a minute. New Steamship Line. PORTLAND, Ore., March 29.

Senator Tillman was to-day interviewed at his home in. Trenton, S. C. regarding the "Forty" convention held In Columbia, Wednesday, to harmonize the differences between the two wings of the Democratic party. He said: "It appears to me that the action of the convention tends rather to aggravate than to soothe the situation. The idea of giving half the delegates to the constitutional convention to each faction, opens the whole question, and will, I fear, destroy, in a large measure, the chances of having the convention elected without a struggle between the factions."

THE FfiENCH AVIDOWS

ARE TUB MOST VXIIAPPY PEOPLE 1ST THE GAY LITTLE REPUBLIC. Victims of Any Gallant Who Meeta Them, nnd Are Cut Off from All Social Pleasure Until Remarried. 1 Paris Letter In New York Sun. The Paris widow is a surprise. I cannot tell exactly what I had expected, but for some reason or other the thought of French widows always called up vague recollections of the bereaved young person in "A Trip to Chinatown." I humbly beg the pardon of the real Paris widow. She is much more like the Oriental wives who die on the funeral pyres of their husbands, and she Is often almost as secluded as if she were buried alive. Naturally this does not refer to the people, as the French call the working classes. When the small groceryman dies, his widow, who has sat at the desk and. been cashier and bookkeeper during his lifetime, sits there still, and everything goes on as before, except that there is a "Vve" put before the name to show that "Widow (Veuve) Maurice," or whatever her name may be, is at the head of the business. There is no attempt made, as there often is in America, to give the impression that affairs are in "the hands of a man. The women are too shrewd and experienced as shopkeepers to need any such pretense. With the women of society it is different. It is not easy for a stranger to make observations in this field, and, above all, in the direction of widows. The easiest way to gain inf ormaton is to cultivate some widow who (has seen better days and get her to reveal the secrets of her sad estate. This is not difficult. Widows with money are the prey of designing relatives and unscrupulous guardians, so that there are always plenty of them who have been reduced to keeping boarders, which, after the pawnshop, is their sole resource. "In France, i a husband dies without a will, leaving a widow but no children, alt his property, even though It may have oeen held in common during nis lifetime, goes to his family. His widow has nothing. If he dies without a will, leaving a wiaow and children, all the. property goes to the children. "The widow may live on the income with her children, provided she can arrange it with their guardian, but if 'he is so inclined he can forbid her receiving a cent from her children, and compel her to earn her own living. It is terrible, isn't it?" It was a bright, attractive little French woman of forty who told me this. She has been a widow ten years, and although her husband left her a fortune of ioo,4wu, and although she had her own dot of 12,000, she is now keeping boarders for the princely sum of $5 a week. ROBBED BY HER KIN. Her brother-in-law, in whose bank her entire fortune was placed, failed at a judicious interval after her husband's death, and Mme. T. found herself with a young son to educate, without income and without resources, except a small country house. This Bhe sold and put her fifteen-year-old boy in college. By the advice of prominent lawyers she set about trying to recover her dot, which is supposed to be the inalienable property of a married woman. She failed, and in the meantime had sold or pawned most of her Jewelry and furniture. Her son was scarcely out of college before, like every other Frenchman, he was obliged to go into the army. Most young men are obliged to serve for three years, but tho only eons of widows are let off with one year. This is not such a concession as It seems at first, for the young man, at the end of his year, is taxed a certain amount annually until he attains the age of sixty. Not only this, but If he cannot or does not pay this tax, his mother, the unfortunate widow, becomes responsible for it. If she falls to pay it, her furniture, or whatever possessions she may have, is seized. In effect, therefore, it is she who is taxed in lieu of tho military service from which she is supposedly exempt. Her son, during his year of military service, receives 1 cent a day. With this he is obliged to buy blacking for his boots, tobacco and otter things. He receives his clothes and an insufficient amount of food from the government. If his mother did not send him food he would fall ill from pure hunger. These are a few of the practical inconveniences of being a French widow. In the social line she is much worse off, especially if she happens to be, a daughterless or a penniless widow. "Do I ever wish I had a daughter?" said Mme. T., when 1 asked her the question. "Oh,, no. I can never be too thankful that I have none. Without money she could not hope to marry well and her Hfe would be ruined. With a son it is different. His career is entirely changed, but it does not make such a hopeless thing of his fife. If I had money? Oh, yes, then I would wish for a daughter, because that would make it possible for me to go out occasionally and mingle with the world." "But if you had money couldn't you do that?" DEPRIVED OF ALL PLEASURES. And then Mme. T. explained to me a state of affairs, which was appalling from an ' American point of view. A French widow becomes lost to sight and quickly forgotten by society. She cannot go to receptions, or balls, or dinners, or musicales, or anything in which the heart of woman delights. This law of the conventionalities does not. apply to the period of mourning only; it is a perpetual lock and key on any spirit of effervescence or natural desire to be something beside a housekeeping hermit. If, however, she has been bles&ed with a daughter and enough money to make a presentable appearance in society, she can take her daughter out when that young lady Is old enough. A son is not a sufficient excuse for this entrance into society; therefore, blessed be the daughters of widows. But under no circumstances can she go into society before she takes her daughter with her. If she has Intimate friends she may dine with them, but it must be strictly en famllle. If these friends are of a match-making turn of mind they will occasionally invite some man to dine at the same time, and in this way the widow has an opportunity to speak to her fellow-men. However, these Intimate friends are not always to be relied on. "You see," said Mme. T., hesitatingly, "our gentlemen are likely to be a little too gallant to widows." "Oh!" "Yes, it is the fault of their training." apologetically. "For instance, after my husband died I used to go often to the house of some very close friends who lived in one of the suburbs of Paris. It was one of my very few pleasures, and I often spent Sunday with them. One Saturday I had gone there, and in the evening M. proposed that we play billiards. , "The billiard room was across the garden and it was necessary to carry the balls and cues with us. Mme. went on ahead with the key, M. gave the others something to carry, and finally gave me an armful of things. We were the last, and as we were crossing the garden he put his arms around me and kissed me repeatedly." Mme. T. laughed In spite of herself. "He had been, very clever, you see," she went on. "He had filled my arms with things so that I could not resist, and I did not want to drop them because that would attract every one's attention and it would be so hard for his wife. REFUSED TO BE SQUEEZED. "Well," after a pause, "of course that ended my going to that house. Then I had some other friends. The husband I had known since we Were children, when we had played together Irt the same garden. "He was quite determined that I should marry again, and often asked me there to dinner, and invited his acquaintances to meet me. But his wife was jealous, and that avenue of intercourse with the world was closed. "Another man who had been for years an employe of my husband, and who had been like a brother to me. came to see me after my husband's death. My son and a friend, a woman I loved very dearly, were in the room, and he kissed me on the cheek, as had been his custom for years. "I had known him since he was a boy, and now he was grown up and married. Well, my friend wrote him a letter, taking him to task for his manner. I suppose he thought that I had inspired the letter, and I knew nothing about it for a long time. I never saw him again, and he is dead now. "And so it went. You see. being a widow, I wan pntirlv rtfnml(nt r,n rhe social I charity of my friends, who could, if they j would. Invite me. In a quiet way, to their. . houses. The loss of my money, of course, made a reduction In the number of my I friends. Others dropped of for various

causes, as in the instances I have given, until 1 naa not a stngie way or meeting people." ' "But when these friends invited you to dine with them and asked some man to meet you was it with the idea of giving you an opportunity to find another husband?" "Yes." admitted Mme. T. "They knew that my life waa practically closed if I did not marry again, and they wanted to give me tne enanee. "And If you found acquaintances you liked, why could you not invite them to dine with you and let them bring their friends, vand so enlarge your circle, all in a very quiet way?" "Because I couldn't. Because, again, I was a widow. If I had invited any gentlemen or if they had come to see me the concierge would have complained of me." "How very pleasant." "Yes, but it is the truth. There are two classes of human beings in France who have no liberty. They are young girls and widows, and of" the two the former ase much the happier, because their seclusion does come to an end, since they are almost sure to marry. The widow is ioerated by the same method, but the road is a more difficult one." Yes, the Paris widow certainly Is a surprise. A Frenchman would never have written "A Trip to Chinatown." And as for Tony Weller, if his immortal wisdom had blossomed on this side of the channel, he would never have said "to bevare of vidders," but beware of being one. Mr. King's Threatened Suit. To the Editor of the Jlndlanapolis Journal: Your correspondent has many times been surprised, but never more surprised than when he read the announcement that the Governor's private secretary contemplated prosecuting some persons for being where he voluntarily run against them, when he started, a few minutes before the Legislature adjourned, with papers for the Speaker of the House. He will permit one who was not in it to tell him that he Is in the same condition. Had he made an attempt to reach the House, and on finding he could not do so because of the crowd that intercepted his way, called witnesses to prove the fact, he would have fully discharged his duty. Then the Governor might have had some cause for prosecution. The private secretary , transcended the limits the law prescribes for any private secretary or other officers. He was not required to run any risk of personal injury in the discharge of his duty. But, instead of conforming to law,, he went 'into the struggle, throwing himself against every one that he thought stood between him and the door of the hall. He became one of a crowd, and called to his aid partisans of his own party, who went in with him to conquer the hindrances that a party trick might be accomplished and men kept in office against the express will of the people. He became one of the crowd. He exerted himself with sufficient force to bruise him even more than he was injured in the Jam. Had it been his duty to disperse the crowd he might have had some excuse for the manner in which he threw himself against it. His verdict for damages will be too small to be seen with the naked eye. K. Indianapolis, March 28. A Useful Public Document. Washington Special. The Patent Office has just Issued a publication of great interest to inventors and patent attorneys, and of more than passing popular interest. It ha a revised classification of subjects of invention, arranged by divisions, subclasses in alphabetical order brought down to Jan. 1, 1893. The 541.W6 patents that have been Issued since the government adopted that method of encouraging invention in 1836 are divided into nearly 6,600 subclasses. The office has been engaged in this plan of classification for several years, and is continually increasing the subdivisions, 1,500 having been added during the year. This scheme greatly simnlifle3 the work of the office and is added protection to the inventor. Before it went i into effect an inventor had no assurance I t&at a patent issued jy the government was any good to him, it being impossible in many of the crowded clashes or general divisions to make a thorougn examination .vf kindred inventions previously patented. Costly litigation and endless annoyance tesulted and the Patent Office was getting into bad repute, being chaiacterlzed as careless and slovenly in its iretnods of uoing business. When an exam ner had to wade through 23,000 to 30,000 patents in one class, as was often the caoc, to see If an invention infringed on a previously issued patent accuracy was out ? the question. It was finally determined to split the big classes into as many subclasses as possible, and to such a point has the process gone that It is the exception for any special thing in the field of invention to hav over 1,000 patents charged against it. Existing subclasses will be still further split up as new lines of demarkation become discoverab!e, until after awhile inventors will begin to feel that when they receive a parcn: Jrom Uncle Sam it will i-.ave a known value as a protection. . : Justice to the Japanese. Philadelphia Record. It would be unkind to add by a single word to the humiliation suffered by Japan through the atrocious violation of the sanctity of the flag of truce and of the person of an embassador. The universal grief and sense of shame of the people over the occurrence has been expressed by the Japanese newspaper press and officially In an imperial rescript. This proof of the sensitiveness of the Japanese to public opinion should be accepted as their complete repudiation of the outrage upon the laws of international hospitality. The good name of a nation should not be at the mercy of its cranks. Against the Grunhophone Company. TRENTON. N. J., March 29. Judge Green, of the United States District Court of New Jersey, has denied the application of the American Graphopnone Company for an injunction against and accounting from the United States Phonograph Company. This is the first decision in the various suits pending between the American Graphophone Company and the various Edison phonograph companies in the United States. . Price of Southern Lumber Raised. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March J 29. The principal lumber manufacturers of Alabama at a meeting held here to-night decided to increase the price of cheaper grades of lumber for Northern markets $1.25 on the average per one thousand feet, commencing April 1. Arkansas, Mississippi, Ixiuisiana and Texas have already taken this action In accordance with the recommendation of the Southern Lumbermen's Association. Probable Double Murder. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 29. James McBride, a quarryman, to-day murdered Mrs. David Rockford, a widow to whom he had been paying attention. McBride went to her home, and, after a few words, fchot two bullets into her forehead, killing her instantly. McBride went to his boarding place, told the landlady what he had done, and said he was going to kill himself, lie has not since been seen. A Miser's Gold Found. SHAMOKIN, Pa., March 20. Tho heirs of Solomon Diehl, an aged bachelor of miserly habits, searched his late residence to-day and found over J4.000 in gold, silver and copper coins. The money was tied up in old stockings and hidden away under floors and in crevices and cracks about the building. Diehl died a week ago. The money is now in bank, awaiting tne division among the heirs. Pretty Dane Enriched. CHICAGO, March 29. Sine Nielson. a Danish girl, secured a $3,000 verdict to-day in her $25,000 breach of promise suit against H D. Alysworth, a railroad man. Miss Neilson is a pretty young Dane who has been in this country but a few years and before coming here was a maid in the household of Prince Christian, son of the heir apparent to the throne of Denmark. Hunk Cashier Arreated. !AN DIEGO, Cal., March 29. S?ymour Jackson, cashier of Godbe's Bank, at Ensenada, has been arrested on suspicion of having robbed the bank of $12,503 on March 2") the same night of the bullion robbery at RiveroH's shipping office there. Jackson id in jail, as no bail is accepted n Mexico, when tho crime charged is of so grave a nature. ' Caused by Fire Daui. EVANSTON. Wyo.. . March 29. In the case of the sixty-one men killed in the Red Canon mine disaster, on the 20th, the coroner's jury returned a verdict, this evening, to the effect that the men came to their death bv being killed in an explosion, the cause of which was apparently lire damp, possibly augmented by coal dust.

The President' Opportunity. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The Monroe doctrine, bo called, which declares in substance that no European government shall be permitted to acquire a foothold on this continent, . has been enforced "for seventy-five years by all administrations, and conspicuously by General Grant, who drove the French out of our sister republic, Mexico. England is the only monarchy now prospecting for territory on the continent, as would appear from her exorbitant demand for indemnity on Nicaragua, as well as her demand for a part of Venezuela's territory, and it is important that the American people should know whether the present administration proposes to maintain their traditional policy. They know what Seward, Grant, James G. Blaine and Benjamin Harrison, tunii 1 1 ir V11 1 f thpv faur Cimvar ' 1 r v I n 1 1 will back down and surrender to England whatever she asks. England is our implacable antagonist, has continued to be so for. more than a hundred years, and her dominion has greatly increased since Daniel Webster declared that the "British morning drum beat, following the sun and keeping company with the hours, circles the earth with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial airs of England." What other object can our old enemy have than to acquire a foothold in Nicaragua and thus Haf.o t nr rnntrril mir nrtirmpPil shin ianal through that country to the Pacific ocean? She already owns the Suez canal, though she did not build it, and evidently has an eye on ours. The reason the people distrmt Cleveland is because he is credited with being on the wrong side more times on great public questions than ajiy other President in American history. Look at his attempt to force the people of Hawaii to accept a dethroned Queen, with all that implied, instead of becoming a State in tho American Union, and hauling down the flag of the great Republic. Does he mean to decline to resent the aggressions of tha Brit sh down our Industries and reduced the demand abroad for our great stuples until our people have become poor and , the public treasury empty? He now has a chance to uphold our American policy and retrieve a succession of disastrous blunders tht our traditional pOHcy shall be upheld. Will he embrace it? M. I BUNDY. New Castle.
