There were 100 delegates present at the meeting of the Irish national federation to-day. called to conalder the resolution expelling Mr. T. M. Healy from that organization. Th!s is the result of charges of 'treachery which Mr. 1'eaJy made against the- Irish Parliamentary party at the national convention at Omagh,- county Tyrone, In July last, when he acccused John Dillon of selling Tyrone to the English pirty. The motion of Mr. Healy to-day to admit representatives of the press to the meeting was rejected.

Dr. Lueger, the unti-, Semite leader in the Reichsrath. who was elected burgomaster of. this city on Oct. 29 last, and . whose election Emperor Francis Joseph refused to sanction, was again reelected burgomaster to-lay in accordance with his announced intention of having himself elected over and over again until the government yields Us approval to his election. Dr. Lueger Intimated his readiness to accept the office, whereupon Dr. Frlbeis, president of the Imperial? Council, which was appointed in May last to administer the affairs of the city on account of the abolition.- for the time, of the municipal body, announced, on behalf of the Lieutenant Governor, the dissolution of the Civic Council. The members of that body then left the hall amid great excitement and in:ieu wua iremenuous cheers from the crowd of peopl assembled outside. Th demonstration lasted for some tlrr..; and th'e police were eventually compelled to make several arrests and disperse the others. A moo or about cue hunnretl men afterward proceeded to the Imperial Hofnurg, The palace of the Austrian princes since the thirteen century, touting "Long live Lueger. Tno police stopped the main bodv of the men engaged ip this demonstration but some of them succeeded In forcing their way into the palace grounds. from which iney were eventually ejected by the life guard3. Shoald Dnnrnveu Apologize?" LONDON. Nov. 13. Under the heading "Should Dunraven Apologize?" the St. James Gazette this afternoon publishes a leading article in which it again severely criticises his lordship. It says:-."Lord Dunraven arrived In New York with the preconceived Idea that the Defender people were going to play this trick on him. and. having expected that It was going to be done he found an easy way to convince himself." , The article , concludes: "Let Lord Dunraven return to New York and assist the New York Yacht Club committee iJ its Investigation. If he can prove It, we know the Americans well enough to belie v that they will acknowledge he has been wronged. If he does not prove It the accuser owes Mr. Ise.Mn and others a very handsome apology. Otherwise we are afraid that most people will think that temper and mortltlcation betrayed him Into behaving rather badly." T5t Yachtsman severely criticised Lord Dunraven a belated charges, but points out that he has made no accusation against the New York Yacht Club, and adds: "It should be observed that at leas-: thirteen tons dead , weight is- required to bring Ifvnder down four Inches, and such a weight Js not easily shipped or unshipped without notice. In conclusion the Yachtsman says: Lord Dunraven. in publishing the pamphle: not only acted egotistically, but aimed a yachting" l th pres:ise of -British Advice to Vncle Sam. , LONDON. Nov. H. The Graphic this it eming, commenting on the artlcles.in the North American Review, supporting the Monroe doctrine, taya that If the people of the United State really care one cent for these Indo-Spanlsh republics, which is doubtful, the course of the government is clear. It must formally undertake the duties of a protective power, or. better still, annex these territories altogether. England! the Graphic concludes, will have little objection to either solution of existing difficulties.. , A Prince Will Go to War. LONDON. Nov. 13.

UESKXTED 1JY ALGK1 The General Say Senator Sherman Charge Are .Not True. DETROIT, Mich.. Nov. 13. The attention of Jen. R. A. Alger was called to-night to the reference to him in the second volume of Senator Sherman's memoirs, the proof sheets of which had been sent to various newspapers throughout the country. General Alger said: "I am very much surprised that Senator Sherman, laboring under the disappointment of not receiving a nomination, should connect my name with it. If he knows anything about the matter he knows that his charges against me were without foundation. There never was a timo when his combined vote and mine would have nominated him in the convention of 1888.. My request to my friends was in case my nomination was not possible, they should cast their votes for General Harrison, believing, as I did, that a soldier should be nominated. Second to him I asked them to support Senator Sherman. If any money was used, which I do not believe, to purchase votes from the South, it was against my positive Instructions, and no bill of the kind has ever been presented to or paid by me. I never could understand whv Senator Sherman should try to blight the name of a man who has never by any act injured him cr any other man." The Quotations from Senator Sherman's second trolrme to which General Alger excepts are those in which Senator Sherman, In referring t the contest for the presidential nomination of l&S. writes: "I believe, and had, as I thought, conclusive proof, that the friends of General Alger substantially purchased the votes of many of the delegates from the Southern States who had been Instructed by their convention to vote for me." Senator Sherman says that he has no reason to believe that General Harrison resorted In the slightest degree to any improper or corrupt combination to secure his nomination. And he adds that the only feeling of resentment that he entertained was in "In regard to the action of the friends of General Alger In tempting with money the poor negroes to violate the instructions of theVr constituents." JIASSACRES CONTINUE. (Concluded from First Page.) very reason that this section of Turkey, including important American missions, has all along been without An' consular officer representing the United cates. Congress at its last session provided for the establishment of two consulates therein, one as Erzroum and another at Harput The State Department several months ago sent to Turkey two experienced men from Washington io open the consulates there. But the Turkish government has persistently declined to Issue exequaturs to them, so they have been unable to exercise consular functions. These men Messrs. Chilton and Hunter were at Erzroum when the last massacre occurred there and were compelled to seek safety in the British consular office during the rioting. Since then, as their lives were being needlessly jeopardized, and there was no hope of securing recognition as consuls, the State Department has seen flt to authorize their retirement from the scene of danger, and at last accounts they were in Constantinople, with every indication that they would be ordered back to the United States aad the project of establishing these consulates abandoned for the present at least. Admiral Selfridge arrived at Marseilles yesterday, and last evening relieved Admiral Klrkland of the command of the European station and hoisted his flag on the San Francisco, under orders from the Secretary of the Navy to proceed at once to Join the Marblehead In Turkish waters. With these two vessels present. It Is felt that the government will have done all possible to protect the Americans In the Interior of Turkey, taken In connection with a most vigorous notice from Minister Terrell that the United States will hold the Porte responsible for any injury tne- may sustain. The State Department has received a circular prepared .for publication by the Rev. H. O. Dwight, who is specially -charged with watching oyer the interests of our missionaries In Turkey. The circular came unsolicited to Mr. Terrrell, and its purpose is to explain certain misapprehensions and misstatements concerning Minister Terrell's course In the circular Dr. Dwight says that the general allegation that Mr. Terrell has been careless in protecting American citizens in Turkey rests on no foundation whatever, for 'Mr. Terrell has freelv con sulted them In every important crisis, and has shown great willingness to give weight to their opinions. "Mr. Terrell." the circular continues, "has carried on his -heart as a burden that permits no escape and allows no rest anxiety for the safety of American citizens in Tuncev during all of the vicissitudes of the present year." There is not the shadow, of a doubt, he says, that the maintenance of the Bitlis station during the fiery trials of the past year, the exemption of Its members from molestation, and perhaps the saving of their ' very lives, has been doe to the sustained and vigorous action of Mr. Terrell at the Sublime Porte, and in every case where an Armenian naturalized citizen has been molested Mr. Terrell has Interfered sharply and effectively to prevent unlawful punishment.

An encounter in the Statehouse last nitfht came near resulting In bloodshed. It was kept quiet till to-day. A gentleman asked William H. NewhalL clerk In the Auditor of State's office, to cross the hall and introduce him to Governor Brown.

Ollgh, Assistant Secretary of State, heard the remark. He went direct to the Governor and told him the charge Newhall had made. Governor Brown was very angry and went In haste across the hall to the Auditor's office and asked Mr. Newhall if he had made the charge. Mr. "Newhall replied he had and said he would swear that he would not believe the Governor had voted a straight ticket unless he could see the ballot that was cast. Governor Brown was furious and replied in strong language that it was an infamous lie. It is said Newhall drew back his cane to strike aud Governor Brown reached back as if to get a revolver.

With Mr. Bennett's vote that body stood fourteen Democrats and twelve Republicans. Should the Republicans elect a successor to Mr. Bennett the Senate would be a tie. with Senator Bruce, of Baltimore, acting In harmony with the Republicans on all reform measures and uniting with them in confirming the Republican Governor's nominations. Bennett's majority was but forty-seven. Sherman for MeKInley. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Nov. 13. The following letter, dated Washington. Nov. 7, has been received by Col. H. G.

An Industry Almost Killed ly Free Trade? to lie Revived. New York Mall and Express. "Silk has been a dead letter in the dress goods market for several year?, but It Is about to resume it. old sway." said Miles O'Brien, of tho H. B. Clafiin Company, today, to a Mall and Express reporter. i Mr. O'Brien Indicated a feature of fashion's near future that has not been recorded in the fashion reports. The flounced and furbelowed half of the population of the metropolis hug the delusion that it is on the curling, frothing edge of the breaker of style, but this time It is distanced by a tremor in the pvdse of trade which indicates a radical departure from the ruling fancies of several years past. Raw silk has advanced in price about 30 per cent, and In that fact lies the chief indication of the chanse in women's fashions that is Impending. That America should have felt a nerve chock outside of the retail price of silk over the haberdasher's counter Is due solely to the fact that thirty years of protection built u? an industry of silk manufacturing that ranks among the most Important of the Nation. Up to two years ago the hum and whirr of nilk spindles and silk looms voiced the main bread winner of the inhabitants of several important suburbs of the metropolis. American mechanical ingenuity reinforced the skill of imported operators to such an extent that a very large share of tho silks turned into thread, rlobons, lining and d.ess goods came here in the shaoe of raw material and were twisted, woven, dyed and finished by American operators. That the Industry languished was due to the standing menace of Hostile legislation when the free-trade economists seemed to have a prospect of shaping the national economic policy. The time, cam? "when they controlled all branches of th" national fdmlnlstratlon. and the result followed of silent looms and spindles Bn'l Idle workmen. It would bo unfair to say that all manufacture of silk ceased with the inauguration of hostile tariff policj-. Silk manufacture had been so deeply rooted, and. upon merit, had trade such great inroads uoon the vomie of the ' foreign product, that only curtailment of output resulted. The twisting of silk threads had been so improved by American machinists that even

low wages could not keep their output out of the markets of the world. The ribbon product of American looms challenged the best of Lyons. - In the cheaper varieties, used for lining, home manufacturers had no competition in the home market. In the recent commercial revulsion silk manufacture suffered disproportionately. It is essentially a luxury, and in the tariff tinkering the duty was reduced to a point which threatened the industry. As was told the Mall and Express reporter by a silk manufacturer, the difference between home and foreign manufactures lies chiefly in the share that labor contributes. In this country the proportion Is: Raw material, one-third; labor, two-thirds. Abroad the proportions are reversed, and labor only contributes one-third of the cost of the manufactured product. The cheaper duty has made the manufacturers cast about for localities where cheaper operators may be employed. Small towns in Pennsylvania, near the border, such as Bethlehem and Allentown. have been built up largely at the expense of Paterson and other nearby cities. American manufacturers have obtained their raw silk chiefly from Japan. A small supply has been obtained from Italy, which furnishes the chief supply of the Lyons looms, which are still. In the lead in supplying the first qualities of silk for dress or decorative purposes. The threatened increase in silk prices has come from the advance in raw Italian silk. French manufacturers have enlarged their orders so extensively that Italy's product has been well nigh exhaused, and the silk growers of the far East have been called upon to make good the deficiency. The actual increase in this market has been about 15 per cent., which -cuts American manufacturers most seriously. Manufacturers of silk twist and sewing silk have been the first to feel It. They have already advanced their prices 10 per cent., and will meet again on Nov. 20 to consider t further raise. The price of machine silk twist has fallen to $4.60 since 1881, a decline of about 50 per cent. The increasing demand. It is thought, will Justify a further rise of from 5 to 10 per cent. The recent price also suffered on account of hard times and excessive competition. Manufacturers thought themselves bound to keep their spindles and looms going, even at a small loss, rather than have their operators suffer from want of work. The advance In thread and machine twist will carry with it a considerable advance in the price of ribbons and dress goods. No formal concerted action has been taken, as yet, by manufacturers of silk and dress goods, although individuals have been asking advances In accordance with the increase In other line. Better business tone is indicated by the fact that their overtures for higher rates are meeting with the acquiescence of Jobbers. No such response would have been returned a year ago. Since 1SS0 the manufacture of silk has Increased 100.33 per cent. In net. value in this countrv, and this was m the teeth of a decline of the market value of the product amounting to 25 per cent. There has been an Increase of from 50 to 60 ppr cent, since 1S90 in the face of Feveral years of great business depression. There is no branch of the manufacture in which Americans are not respectable competitors. Exhibits of the product of American looms compared favorably with the magnificent specimens exhibited by the Lyon? manufacturers, and, during the year of depression ending June 30 last, they used 9.614.003 pounds of raw silk, chiefly raised in Japan, and costing $23,887,049. What they will need under the Impulse of a revival of dsmand for , dres3 goods and better trade auspices can only be conjectured. - ALL OX BOARD DROWNED.

Oyater Dredge Struck hyallugeUave and Capsized. NEW YORK. Nov. 13. The steamboat James W. Boyle, technically known as an oyster dredge, .foundered off Bell buoy at Rockaway inlet to-day, and all on board were drowned. iShe was on her way from Bridgeport, Conn., to RocJtaway, with a cargo of seed oysters which were to be planted there. She was chartered by Walter B. Wood, of ..Inwood, L. I., from her owner, James WV Boyle, the well-known Tammany leader, after whom she is named. The drowned are: . Walter B. Wood, aged forty yearr, oyster - planter and charter, Inwool, L. I.; Peter J. McDonald, aged twenty-eight, captain,' Princess Bay, S. I.; John Finn, aged thirty-eight, engineer, Rondout, N. Y.; John Carroll, aged thirty-one, ccok and deck hand, Hoboken, A. J.; John Newbury, aged forty, deck hand, Tottenville, N. Y. The wreck occurred off Coney island, near Norton's Point and Rockaway inlet, in a high sea. Ihe wreck-was1 sighted by the tug Mutual this morning. " Wherr the tug drew sufficiently near to disclose the noating upper woodwork of the wrecked steamer plainly it was seen that there was no sign of life about the wreckage. It had been hoped that the crew of the tdeamer, all of whom were good Bailors.. would be found clinging to the floating woodwork. Captain Deakin ran the prow of his tug dellDerately and with hard force into the pilot house for the purpose of breaking it and recovering any bodies that might be within. As the timbers of this structure and of the wooden cabhd attached to it. were shattered mattrcBses. pillows and chairs floated out, but no bodies. For more than an hour the tug Mutual, remained- in the vicinity and did not leave until It was absolutely certain that none of the crew of the Boyle was alive. The probabilities are that the Boyle was so rapidly turned bottomside up by tho enormous wave that the men were burled under her and had no chance for their lives. Conductor and Pasenner injured. . BAY CITY. Mich.,-. Nov. 13. A train on the North Midland division of the Michigan Central railroad consisting of an engine, one .'combination baggage and smoking car and one coach struck a broken rail at 4:30 this afternoon three-quarters of a mile cast of Auburn.

His statements aro important not only because of the reputation of the ex-Senator as a master of international and constitutional law, but because he does not believe that under existing conditions belligerent rights can be accorded Cuba, no matter how much we may sympathize with their struggle for liberty. He concedes that there may arise at any time a situation which would admit of this recognition, but he does not believe that that time has yet come. In the Interview to-day he points out that while the Spanish American republics were struggling for their independence from Spain about the time the Monroe doctrine was formed, this country did not feel that belligerent rights could be granted, though there existed a better excuse for such action by this country than at the present time in connection with the case of Cuba. He also called attention to the fact that at the time England, Spain and other European governments recognized the Confederates as belligerents during- the war of the rebellion this Country was inclined to view that action with great displeasure, and criticised severely the policy of the various governments so recognizing the Confederate States, although they had an established seat of government, and at the time occupied a considerable part of this 'country, controlling ports and sustaining large armies. Cuba, he stated, has not so far a seat of government and has not advanced to a point where this country can give it recognition. , Mr. Edmunds was particularly anxious to have it understood that in taking this attitude he did not desire to express any hostlllty towards Cuba, nor did he wish to be' considered an lacking sympathy with the Cubans. The situations might arise at any time, he' said, that would alter the aspect of affairs and when belligerent rights would have to be accorded regardless of the matter of popular sympathy with the rebels. In discussing the matter of the annexation of Cuba, Mr. Edmunds took the ground that this country does not care as yet to make the dangerous experiment of taking into its organization such island communities as Cuba or Hawaii. He did not think it likely that such action would follow the success of the insurgents in case they win their fight with the parent country. He stated that he did not think the mats of the people had advanced far enough to make it desirable they should' be represented in the United States Senate on an equality with the States of the Union. Their politics, he said, would be dominated by the comparatively small class of intelligent and rich planters without respect to the majority of the citizens, or else the control would fall to the dominant class, which was not up to our standard of citizenship. In either event he did not think annexation desirable. He took pains, however, to point out the difterentlatlon between the question of recognizing the rights of the Cubans as belligerents and the question of annexation, as he stated that the one was entirely independent of the other. - Campo Attacked ujr a Newspaper. HAVANA, Nov. 13. The DIario Delia Marina, the leading reformist , organ of Cuba, publishes an editorial to-day in which it makes a strong attack upon Senor Canovas del Castillo, the Spanish Premier, directly insinuating that Captain General Martinez de Campos is backing his policy. The article also makes strong charges against the present policy of favoring the Conservatives, and says: "Only the resignation of Canovas del Castillo can save us. The rebellion was started in a small portion of the province of Santiago de Curv and by the 'policy adopted has increased, sweeping Hke a wave into the provinces of Puerto Principe, Santa Clara and Matanzas, and even the province of Pinor del Rio is threatened." This article has caused great discussion, as nobody thought any one would dare to attack Martinez de Campos and, call public attention to the Importance of .the rebellion. The article, under the circumstances. Is considered unpatriotic and has caused great indignation in some quarters. Campo Ha Xot Met Gome. HAVANA, Nov. 13. The statement cabled to the Correspondence, of Madrid, from this city that Maximo Gomez had been routed is not true. , Gomez has not yet been attacked by the Spanish forces. General Dc Campos is now. at his headquarters In the city of Santa Clara, laying out a plau of campaign, which should result in an engagement between the Spanish troops and the insurgents under Gomez. It is thought probable that this will be the de-J cislve battle of the war in Cuba. Maximo Gomez, with four thousand followers, according to reports received by official circles here, has left Siguanca and is moving in the direction or tho Rcmcdios district. OBITUARY. William 12. Chlsholm, a. Iconic Inland Millionaire. COLLEGE POINT, L. I., Nov. 13. William E.

I tSES OF A5HESTOS. llelua; Incombnntlhle, It I n Valuable Compound In Many Industrie. The Engineer.. Asbestos . is U wonderful substance. The name comes from a Grsek word meaning inconsumable. Fire will not burn It. acids will not gnaw it, weather will not corrode It. It Is the paradox of minerals, for it Is quarried just like marble. The fibers of which it is composed arc soft as silk and fine and feathery enough to float on water. Yet in the mines they are so compressed that they are hard and crystalline like stone. Although the substance has been known for ages in the form of mountain cork or mountain leather, comparatively little has been learned as to its geological history and formation. A legend tells how the Emperor Charlemagne, being possessed of a table cloth woven of asbestos, wis accustomed to astonish his guests by gathering it up after the meal, casting it into the lire, and withdrawing it later, cleansed, but unconsumed. Yet. although the marvelous attributes of asbestos have been known for so long, they were turned to little practical use until about twenty years ago. Since that time the manufacture of the material has grown until It can take Its place with any of the industries of this country. Indeed, ho rapid has been its progress and development that there is almost no literature of any kind on the subject, and, to the popular mind, it is still one of those Inexplicable things. Up to the late sevenths nearlv all the asbestos used to oome from the Italian AlpJ and from Syria, but one day explorers discovered a rich deposit in the eastern township of Quebec. Companies were formi, and, in 179, the mines w ere opened. Re-

markable as it may seem, however, although the. Canadians started factories, in the operation of which they were substantially backed by English capital, it was an American concern, with headquarters In New York, that developed the industry, most rapidly. The company has now grown so large that it has branches In nearly all of the large cities of the country and the machinery -ued is specially made and peculiarly adapted to the manufacture of asbestos articles. There are also a large number of factories in England. The veins of chrysolite, as the Canadian asbestos is called, are from two to four inches in thickness, and are separated by thin layers of hornbl2nde crystals. The nearer to the surface the veins run, the coarser are the fibers and the less valuable. The mining is done by the most Improved machinery. Holes are drilled In long rows into the sides of the cliffs by means of steam drills. Thev are then loaded with dynamite and exploded simultaneously in sucn a way that a whole ledge of the rock falls at once. Then the workmen break out as much of the pure asbestos as possible, load It Into tubs or trucks, which are hoisted out and run along to the "cobhouse." Here scores of boys are kept busily employed crumbling or "cobbling" the pieces of rock away from the asbestos and throwing the good fitwr to one side, where, it Is placed in sacks for shipment to the factory. The greatest work in connection with the mining of asbestos Is in disposing of the waste rock and the refuse of the quarry. Only about one-twenty-flfth of the material quarried is real asbestos, and the rocky parts have to be carried to the dumps at great expense. As the asbestos comes from the mine it is of a greenish hue, and the edge9 are furred wltn loose fibers. The more nearly white asbestos is the better Its grade. The length of fiber Is also of great importance, the longest being the most valuable. From the mines the asbestos i taken to the manufactories in the United States. HEXKFACTIOXS OF TIIK RICH. Fevr Great Millionaire Show a AV1Illiiffue to Give. New York Letter In Philadelphia Press. The announcement of the gift of $1,000,000 outright to the Chicago University and the conditional gift of $2.000,uu0 more by Mr. Rockefeller,' comim? as it did at a time when society was in excitement over the wedding of a daughter of Croesus with a duke, did serve to distract attention for a moment, so that It was fastened upon Mr. Rockefeller. The announcement at this time, however, was a mere coincidence, it being Mr. Rockefeller's desire to prepare the trustees of the university for the gift and to sive them opportunity -to raise the sum upon the procuring of which his gift of f2.Ou0.000 more has been conditioned. It was reported at the time that this gift has been matched only by the late Leland Stanford's endowment of the university which he. created in California. The statement was not accurate. Seth Low gave a million outright to Columbia College last winter, and the bequests of the late Daniel Fayerweather to several universities amounted to severe! millions. Rut it is well understood tht in case the university be thoroughly established upon lines which he deems wise that Mr. Rockefeller's benefactions will not end with these princely sums. If he lives and is thus able to watcn the development of that institution it Is presumed th he will from time to time make It possible, for It continually to enlarge te scope of its work. Rut in case of his death there are intimations that he has 'made revision for the future of the university. Mr. Rockefeller's public benefactions will, It is thought, be confined to that institution. His private munificence is suspected, but not established, except that it is known that more than one church of his dcnsmlnatlon has been lifted out of financial quagmires and placed upon a firm basis by his aid. Cornelius Vanderbllt Js the member of the family who has been alone conspicuous for large gifts for .public good. He and Mr. Morgan contributed most' of the mononeeded for the erection of- the beautiful Church Mission Home, on Fourth avenue at Twenty-second street. His gifts to Columbia College aggregate considerably more than a million, and he was on of the fewsubscribers to the fund of which made it possible to establish the Botanical Gardens at Bronx Park, work upon which will be begun next j-car. He built the handsome clubhouse for the railway employes, as perfectly appointed a club as exists In the city, and he has always been a warm friend of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. George Vanderbilt is understoood to have In mind the creation and maintenance of a free school or Institution for the study of forestry upon his park at Biltmore, In the North Carolina mountains. Mr. Vanderbllt has long been of the opinion that unless In the near future systematic forestry be practiced in the cutting of ripe timber an I the development of new growths, evils almost too great to conceive may be in store for American farmers, and. in fact, great and unfavotable climatic conditions may be developed. The other members of the .Vanderb'dt family have as yet made no public use of their great wealth, not. following the example of their father, or even their grandfather. In this respect. Miss Helen Gould is the only member of the Gould family who has as yet ben disposed to use her wealth for public service. She is much interested In young women who seek technical, or even classical, training, as her recent establishment of scholarships suggests. Yet it Is too roon to look for any public benefactions from the 'joint heirs of the Gould estate. They have only recently come Into their inheritance. George Gould until within a year and a half has been wholly absorbed in business, and It was not until nearly three years after the death of his father that he was able so to organize his Interests that he felt free to indulge in the only recreation which charms him yachting. Edwin Gould, who in many respects more strikingly suggests his father than any of the other sons. Is, as his father was, alwayr closely absorbed in bulness, and apparently he finds his greatest delight In that pursuit. DlaliTvanIitnfr In n Die Hotel. New York Tribune. Every large hotel has its own washing establishment. This has been a distinctive feature of modern hotels. An Interesting feature of this washing department is the washing-machine. It would gladden the bart of many a housewife if she could see the manner in which the dishes are washed and disposed of In this department. Primarily the washing-machine consists of two boilers. The first boiler contains water so hot that the hand cannot be plunged Into it. This water, by an automatic system of ptpen. is kept rapidly in motion, and of Itself washes the dishes without any scrubbing. The dlshen are placed tn a basket, lowered Into the whirlpool of water, and when pulled out have been divested of all accumulated dirt. Then they have auother bath in . a second boiler of clear water, which acts as a final cleanser. They are then I'fted as?de and rapidly dried, ar.d In this manner a basketful of dishes is dis

They Are Xot a Prowperou a They Once Were. San Francisco Bulletin. Fourteen thousand miles of Southern fcas has the missionary brig Pitcairn. with a. large party of Oaklanders on board, traveled since she dropped down the stream cn the 1st of May last and spread canvas for Iltcalrn Island, with supplies and gool books for the survivors of the mutineers of the Bounty. Capt. J. E. Graham, who. commands the Pitcairn, writes to this city an interesting letter of the vessel's cruise, and mentioned that the pretty little craft, is on her homeward trip. When the Pitcairn sailed from San Francisco in the interests of the Seventh-day-Adventlst Society of this coast she cleared direct for the queer littte settlement of historic fame. She took as passengers Dr. and Mm Brancht, Miss McCoy, a . Mr. Owen and his son. and Missionaries Youn, Graham. Eldon and Mr. and Mrs. Elahasman, all of Oakland. She proceeded llrect to the Island, arriving on the 6th of June, and none too soon, for provisions were running low at the settlement, and, althoush fruit was plentiful and there was little fear of actual starvation, the "touch of civilization" has tempered the appetites of the I'itcalrners. and they often long for canned goods and pie. The Island is not eo prosperous a colony as it used to be is the Information that came in the same mail with Captain Graham's letter. Too frequent intermarriage has somewhat weakened the constitutions, of the inhabitants, and there is frequent complaint of sickness. The colony has not increased to any extent in numbers, but the people are contented and happy for all this. A school h?s been established at the island, and competent teachers are employed. The children of the colonists are: by no means lacking In book knowledge, for it is reported that in addition to their regular studies of reading, writing and arithmetic the Pitcairn youngsters absorb, much of Shakspeare, Macaulay and Carlyle. They study the world at large through the medium of good authors. The brig stopped one week at Pitcairn; she t:)en left for tho Society islands, for the Oakland missionaries were bent on spreading gospel truths among the indolent worshiper? of Anu. A pretty thorough canvass for stray souls was made ant visits raid to the numerous Seventh-day Adventlst station throughout the group. - The brig called at Austral. Nine and Cook's islands, and at the latter found tlm natives and missionaries alike sufferingfrom ennui, for, according to one energetic wbt man. no effort had been mad by the Cooklte to capture trader or fill their stemachs with anything but the blessings of nature in the hape of fruits. The Pitcairn drifted toward Tonga, was. held by calms and finally made that port. From there he sailed for Suva, and took in Copra. From Suva .the brig will sail to the Gilberts, thence to Honolulu, thence to 8an lYanrlsco and then for a season she 111 rest her coraled bilge planks on the mud flats of modern Athens. i"nBnannnnn Airfally Fat. 1 Chicago Record.
