AMUSEMENTS. "The Girl from Paris” will be presented here by Rice’s ccmpany at the Grapid this evening. The libretto is by George Dance, one of the writers of the “Geisha,” and the music by Ivan Caryll. The piece was called "The Gay Parisienne” in London, but to avoid confusion with “The Gay Parisians” in this country Mr. Rice changed the title to “The Girl from Paris.” The story deals with the adventures of Mr. Honeycomb, a married man and a shining light of his community, who, masquerading under the name of Dingle, is sued for breach of promise by Julie Bon Bon. Fearing his wife's wrath, he flees to Switzerland and assumes a disguise. He is reported dead and the arrival of his wife to claim the body leads to some of the most laughable situations ever presented on the stage. The humorous complications are numerous and the dialogue Is said to be of the wittiest order. There is a strong company, the same organization that will be seen by Chicago theater-goers at the Grand Opera House in that city next month. Indianapolis has heard much of this production, of Us humor, its pretty music, charming girls, clever artists and its many beautiful features, and there is much interest in the engagement which opens tonight at the Grand. “The Girl from Paris” will be here the rest of the week, giving a popular-priced matinee Saturday. The severe test of the drawing powers of an attraction comes the first night after the opening. Two reasons exist for this—the novelty of “first night” has spent Itself; then, if the show is not good the fact goes abroad. Accordingly last night tried “Jack and the Beanstalk” at the new English’s. It was certainly not found wanting. A large audience was present, and one about as fashionable as that on Monday evening, even If it did not “pack” tne house and the rear aisles. One feature of tlia performance that attracts particular attention is its ultra refinement. To produce an elaborate extravagauza and never lower the standard in this particular is no easy task. To invent situations that fill the bill of extravaganza and not resort to horse play in reproducing them means carefully workedout ideas. However. King Cole should cut out that jest about “not seeing your face on any buttons.” It is a chestnut, warmed over and grown cold again. To utilize so many charming girls, costume them so daintily. Intersperse so much music and frivolity, and lot not a word or gesture suggest anything save refinement, is evidence of the highest plane in this class of stage entertainment. The girls of "Jack and the Beanstalk” have certainly made a hit. They are young, pretty, graceful and have good voices. The stock jokes about the ages of chorus girls do not apply to Kiaw & Erlanger’s collection of beauties. Costumes, too, have attracted more than the usual share of attention. Seldom does a production exhibit such variety of colors. The characters truly look as if they had been transferred from the pages of the nursery books. While the sale of seats has been large for all week, plenty of good seats can still be had for each performance. The first matinee will be given this afternoon. The Wilbur Opera Company’s bill for this afternoon is “The Bohemian Girl," and for to-night “The Black Hussar.” The audiences yesterday were large, and the operas were given in excellent style. The minstrel feature and the living pictures are Introduced at the conclusion of each performance. There Is a different opera for each performance this week. Gus Hill’s Novelties will follow next Monday. One of the best athletic acts ever seen in this city is Introduced by the famous Baker-Robinson trio, who are at the Emplre this week with Flynn and Sheridan's City Sports. Mr. Baker holds the world's record for standing high jump, going over the bar at the remarkable height of six feet six and a half Inches; also holds the three-jump record, going the great distance of forty-three feet, or seventeen inches over the previous record. The City Sports’ performance is a lively enterainment. The first part is especially good. The olio contains several high-class specialties. Herbert and His Band. Victor Herbert’s Twenty-recond Regiment Band, wliich will give a concert at Tomlinson Hall Friday night, played at Louisville Tuesday night, and the musical critic of the Courier-Journal says of the entertainment: "Mr. Herbert Is a rare combination. He is a successful composer, having written the scores of five successive light operas, without a failure among them. He is a master of that delightful Instrument, the violoncello. He is a sympathetic accompanist. He is a conductor of recognized ability, and above ail, he is an honest artist always’

THE GRAIN COFFEE POSTUM MAKES RED BLOOD At Grocers.

His concerts are free from trickery and faklrlsm of every form. His programmes tire sufficiently varied to suit every taste, but at no time does he allow his admirably balanced organization to stoop to cheapness. His concerts are popular in the best sense. He makes Judicious concessions to the public’s love of melody, w hile offending in r.o instance the trained musician whose standards are high. Even the simplest pieces which he gives as encores have musical merit, and last evening every number was received with enthusiasm. The most notable characteristic of the band as Mr. Herbert has developed it is its ability to produce true orchestral effects. Under his leadership tho proper string effects were surprisingly rendered by the reeds, the music of Thomas and Massenet being notably free from the crash and blare with which most bands would have ruined it. Chief of his soloists Is, of course, himself, and his ’cello playing never seemed more delightful than last evening, when accompanied by Mr. Hagedorn on the harp. Miss Donavin, his soprano, also won deserved favor with her sweet and flexible voice and excellent method. One of the evening’s hits was the fantalsie from Mr. Herbert's opera, ‘The Serenade.’ which has never been heard in Louisville, and which closed one of the most enjoyable concerts given here in many months.” V There was a large advance sale of seats for the concert here at Wulschner’s music store yesterday.

Brown, CHICAGO, Oct. 26.—The tenth official Inquiry into the conduct and character of the Rev. C. O. Bro vn, once of San Francisco, but now pastor of the Green-street Congregational Church, this city, began to-day in the Y. M. C. A. lecture room. The proceedings, according to Mr. Brown, were intended more as an arraignment of the Bay Conference, w'hich suspended him from his California post without a trial, than as a probing into the minister’s behavior. Dr. Bradley and Dr, Hollister, both of Grand Rapids, Alich., were the first ministers to enter the hall. Among the delegates who later reached the scene, besides a number of laymen, were the following: Dr, Martin, of Detroit; Dr. Wallace and Dr. Waterman, of Chicago; Ur. Burham, of St. Louis; Dr. Blanchard, of Aurora. Dr. Biown, with his counselor, J. A. Adams, came in with brisk step and smiling face. “I think this counsel,” he said, “will set me right. The conlerence seems, as far as I can ascertain, determined on justice, while every circumstance since my trouble in San Francisco has been in my favor.” The Rev. Philip Krolm, D. D., who w r as to have participated in the trial, was not present, as last night he was stricken with paralysis and is now at his home in a very dangerous condition. The session was rather stormy. After Dr. Nehemiah Boynton, of Detroit, had been appointed temporary chairman, the members debated the advisability of having an open investigation and involved themselves in an almost hopeless muddle with motions, amendments and suggestions. Rev. Dr. Brown urged, through his counsel, an open session. It was finally decided to hold open meetings, and a committee composed of three delegates from the Bay District Conference, Rev. Dr. Brown and his counsel, Mr. Adams, was appointed to decide on the method of procedure. The evening session of the counsel was taken up by the address of Rev. Dr. J. C. Adams, who Is counsel for Mr. Brown. Tomorrow morning Rev. J. K. AlcLean, representing the Bay Conference, will speak for that body. Rev. Dr. Little, of Dorchester, Mass., has been elected moderator and Rev. Dr. Bradley, of Grand Rapids, Mich., scribe of the council.

Nellie Waldon, a colored woman, living at No. 826 West North street, fell off a street car yesterday afternoon at the corner of Washington and Pennsylvania streets, and sprained her ankle and bruised herself slightly. She was cared for and taken home by the City Dispensary physicians. Alany friends of Aliss Kate Shayne, the young woman whose hair was torn out by a revolving shaft in the Allen Surgical Institute, have submitted to operations for skin grafting. The young woman's physicians now believe that she will recover. The skin grafting has been a slow and painful process, but it is proving successful. A Florist's Opening;. A forerunner of the eleventh annual chysanthemum show at Tomlinson Hall next week was the opening of the Bertermann Brothers’ new flower house, on Massachusetts avenue, yesterday afternoon and evening. The display was of chrysanthemums, roses of all kinds, orchids, carnations and other rare and beautiful flowers of the conservatory season. Decorative plants were a feature also and were arranged in the long room which opens on Delaware street. Artistic panel cards were presented to the visitors and over three thousand blossoms were given away, showing that there was a large attendance of flower lovers. A similar display on a larger scale will be made next week, when florists from all parts of the State and from other States will be here with the best their greenhouses afford. The unusual list of premiums offered, through the generosity of the merchants, makes the competition for the prizes one which will bring out all the art and ingenuity of the flcrisis. The display of enrysanthemums will b greater than ever, and the Florists' Association is looking forward to the most successful show of this kind ever held in this part of the country. • The history of the chrysanthemum Is unique, for it is said that all the many kinds of these flowers may be grown from the seed saved from one plant. The plant was not found in the English gardens until late in the last century, and now it is cultivated in most countries of the world. It is mot commonly known whether even the flowers in the imperial gardens of Japan, where the flowers are jealously guarded, are as large and wonderful as mose which are shown at 'he chrysanthemum shows of this country.

MURDEREDHERHUSBAND ■ ♦— CHARGE BY TERRE HAUTE POLICE AGAINST MRS. CRUIKSHANKS. ♦ The Woman Arrested In This City and Return *d—She Claims It Was a Suicide. ♦- Sadie Cruikshanks was arrested In this city yesterday afternoon and taken to Terre Haute on an evening train to answer to the charge of murdering her husband. Last spring she kept house in Terre Haute, and her husband lived with her. He was found dead in his bed one afternoon, and the indications were those of suicide. The coroner’s verdict was to that effect. Some time afterward, it is claimed, Mrs. Cruikshanks admitted to some women that she had killed her husband. One of the women is said to be living in this city and three In Paris, 111. Cruikshanks was killed with a pistol, which was found under the bed on the afternoon he was found dead. The Terre Haute, police have been working on the case for some time, and, having enough evidence, as they thought, to warrant the arrest of Mrs. Cruikshanks, Detective McCrea was sent to this city, and he and one of the local detectives arrested the woman in a Washington-street restaurant. On account of the character of some of the women who repeated the story alleged to have been told them by the suspected woman, the police hesitated to make the arrest. The police also found some difficulty in locating these women, most of them having removed from Terre Haute after the tragedy. Mrs. Cruikshanks lives In a dilapidated residence in a respectable part of Terre Haute. She conducted the place as a boarding house. Her husband, who was employed by the American Express Company as a driver, worked at night. He was about forty-five years old. She Is a woman of unprepossessing appearance. The day her husband’s life ended he had eaten a hearty dinner and had gone to his room to take a nap. A pistol shot was heard in his room and his wife, who was the first to sec his dead body, says she found the pistol on the floor. The couple were not known to have any row and the police gave credit to the theory of suicide at the time.

INSURANCE CASE BRIEF. Points Made by Messrs Finch for the Defense. Fabius M. and John A, Finch, attorneys for the appellees in the suit of the State • Board of Tax Commissioners vs. John H. Holliday ct a!., now pending in the Supreme Court, have filed a brief covering the case. The court is to hear oral argument to-day. In their brief Messrs. Finch say: “Tha effort of the State Board to tax life insurance policies is based on certain assumptions false in fact or false In law. It was assumed that a life insurance policy for the purpose of taxation was the property of the person on whose life it was written, and that such person should pay the tax on the values as ascertained according to the formulae prepared for the board by its expert. Asa matter of fact, nearly all life Insurance policies are written on the life of the husband, father, brother or near relative of the beneficiary, and the policy, from the moment of issue, is the property of such beneficiary; and the person on whose life it was written has no property interest therein. The State Board assumed, as a matter of law, that under the Constitution and laws of Indiana, all property, of whatever kind not specifically exempted by the Legislature, as authorized by the Constitution, is subject to taxation without legislative action. Asa master of law, no property in Indiana can be taxed except by legislative enactment. The Constitution Is not self-operative. “All property not exempt by the Constitution may be, or should be, taxed by the Legislature; but the Legislature, under the clause ‘protide regulations,’ etc., cannot abdicate its power to some creature It may bring into life. ' “The State Board of Tax Commissioners assumed, as a matter of law, that the Legislature had given to It. power to alter the schedule enacted by the Legislature, and to add new items to the schedule, and under this it altered the sihodule and added the items to have life Insurance policies taxed. Asa matter of law the State Board had no such power, and, under the Constitution, no such power could be given it. That no such 'power was intended to be given it is proven by the fact that the Legislature has always, as well after creation of the board as before, carefully enacted the schedule enumerating by Item what should be taxed. NO RESERVE IN INDIANA. “It was assumed that the law of Indiana had some provision under which life insurance companies were required to maintain a reserve upon some table of mortality, computed at some rate per cent., and that the reserve thus required to be maintained was of more or less private concern to the policyholder, apd that the policyholder had some rights concerning it. As a matter of law and fact there is no statute in Indiana requiring life insurance companies doing business here to maintain a reserve. The law of Indiann has no knowledge of a life insurance reserve liability. The statute law of New York, where the company is located which issued the policies of appellees, has such requirement; but it is simply a test of solvency of the company, and not a matter of concern to the policyholder; nor does it in any way affect his rights as stated in the policy. * * * “Consider the assumption of the Btate Board that, under the Constitution and law of Indiana, all property of whatever kind not exempted by the Legislature as authorized by the Constitution, is subject to taxation without action of the Legislature. There are many kinds of property which have never been made subject to taxation. As instances the following may be mentioned : “Suppose a lease for twenty years, subject to assignment at will of the lessee., is executed for SIOO per year on a building to bo erected, upon which ten years’ rent is paid in advance, with condition that the lease may be surrendered at any time within ten years and the lessee receive a ratable proportion of the money paid. And further, suppose that by reason of business changes the building will now rent for SSOO pern year, and the lease may be sold and assigned under the contract upon the basis of such increased value. Under such assumed case it will hardly be claimed that this lease, under the present law, is subject to taxation, either because of its surrender value so called, or because it can be sold for a cash sum. * * * NOT ALL VALUES TAXABLE. "If everything under present laws may be taxed which may be sold or mortgaged then all property citizens of Indiana may own which produces a revenue or which is subject to sale or mortgage, no matter in what jurisdiction it is located, is ,subject to taxation. A citizen of Indiana, may own a farm in Illinois from which he derives a revenue, which he can at any time sell or mortgage for money. On the theory of the State Board, carried to Its logical conclusion, the citizen should pay a tax o-n the money he could thus procure. The fact that he pays a tax on the land does not relieve him, for, as shown by the brief of appellants. Page 10, ‘when property Is taxable by the law of this State it is immaterial how much it is taxed elsewhere.* Citing Seward vs. City of Rising Sun et al., 79 Ind., 351. and other cases. This illustration is conclusive. If it is not conclusive, then, so much of Section 4 of the act of 1891 as excepts from taxation ’property actually and permanently invested in -business in another State,’ is unconstitutional. “If the Legislature cannot, by failure to enact proper regulations, exempt from taxation tho interest which is held in a life insurance policy by the person on whose life it is Issued, and the interest held by the beneficiaries in the policy (the policy being issued by a company in a foreign State where all of Its assets are situate and taxed according to the law of such State), it cannot by direct enactment exempt property owned by a citizen of this State actually and permanently Invested in business in another State.’ ” The attorneys contend that It is by no means true that everything that is of value is subject io taxation, nor that everything owned is subject to taxation on the basis

of its salable value, citing’, for instance, growing crops, which may be sold or mortgaged but not taxed. "What is the ‘value* of a life insurance policy to the person on whose life it is written, or to the beneficiaries? A policy of life insurance is valuable simply as a policy of life insurance; its insurance value is not fixed by what it can be exchanged for in the way of temporary insurance, paid-up policy, or for cash. While it is a policy of life insurance it must be valued and taxed (If it could be subject <>f taxation) as such. Such a policy, whether issued by a level premium company, a natural premium company, a fraternal society organized for the purpose of life inr.urance, an advance assessment company, or a postmortem assessment company all are equally solvent) would have the same present insurance value. That is to say: At the death of the person on whose life it was issued, the sum insured would be paid by either kind of company to the beneficiary named, or to the estate of the person on whose life it was written, if no beneficiary was named. The ‘value’ of anything that is taxable is its present value —not a past value nor a future value.” GUINETTE GOES IN 2:05 WINS FREE-FOR-ALL PACE AT LOUISVILLE IN STRAIGHT HEATS. * Hans McGreggor Captures the 3:16 Trot ami Lady' Nottingham Takes Two Heats of the 2:13 Pace. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 26.—The chief event of the meet was on the Driving and Fair Association’s card to-day, and to this was added the fastest time and some of the best finishes that have yet been made. The free-for-all pace, with a $1,500 purse, brought out a field of seven. Guinette was installed as favorite and won the first heat in a close finish from Lottie Lorraine, while, to the surprise of all, Pearl Onward was distanced, and Heir-at-law, although handled by Geers, narrowly escaped the same fate. In the second heat Guinette won in 2:05, which equals the track record made by John R. Gentry, and took the third heat and the race in only a quarter second more. Planet and Lottie Lorraine had an interesting fight for second money, which was divided between them, while Bessie Bonehill took fourth by finishing second in the last heat. Guinette was a popular favorite, and the books suffered considerably through the gelding’s win. A field of thirteen, the largest yet, trotted In the 2:16 class event. Black Seth won the first heat, but this only served to show that Hans McGregor, the second horse, would win the race, which he did by taking the next three heats with ease. Lady Nottingham was heavily backed for the first heat in the 2:12 pace, but was disabled at the start and finished fifth, Giles Noyes winning out from Dan Q. However, Lady Nottingham won the second by several lengths. The third saw r the closest finish of the meet between Lady Nottingham and Dan Q. The Judges decided In Lady Nottingham’s favor, though a dead heat would have been more popular. Darkness prevented another heat. To-morrow Joe Patchen will try for thfc four-wheel wagon and the high-wheel sulky records.

MISS WILLARD HONORED ♦ ELECTED PRESIDENT OF WORLD’S W. C. T. U. FOR ANOTHER TERM. Close of the Convention—Protect Against llegillation of the Social Evil by the License System.

TORONTO, Oct. 26.—This was the last day of the world's W\ C. T. U. convention. In Miss Willard’s temporary absence Miss Agnes E. Stack presided at the morning session. After the reading of the report of Mrs. J. K. Barney on penal, charitable and reformatory work an hour of devotional work was instituted, conducted by Miss Greenwood, of Brooklyn. Miss Mary E. Green, of Honolulu, related her experiences among the Hawaiians. She was followed by Commander Evangeline Booth, of the Salvation Army, W'ho brought the devotional hour to a close. The executive committee then reported the following newly elected officers: Honorary president, Mrs. M. C. Leavitt, Boston; president, Miss Frances E. Willard, Evanston, 111.; vice president at large, Lady Henry Somerset, England; secretary, Miss Agnes E. Black, England; assistant secretary, Miss Anna A. Gordon, Evanston, 111.; treasurer, Mrs Mary A. Sanderson, Danville, Quebec. The executive committee has revived the position of honorary president, which was dropped at the convention in London In 1895, and Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt, of Boston, was reelected to the position. At the afternoon session the minutes of the whole convention were read by Miss Slack. Mrs. Carse read a report on the department of the world’s archives, and a paper on the press by Miss C. F. Reed, was read, showing that about one-third of the newspapers published W. C. T. U. matter, 3,390 giving space for a W. C. T. U. column. Miss Kirk, secretary of the Australia W. C. T. U., read the report of the committee on resolutions. Among them was the following on the subject of social purity: "Whereas the regulation of vice has become an aggressive question in the W. C. T. U. and the discussion of it as presented in the contagious-disease act has assumed a character w hich we cannot ignore, "Resolved, That while we do not forget that even the most consecrated and true may honestly differ in relation to vital matters, and .while we would abstain from anything which would savor of criticism or judgment of motives, yet we, the World’s W. C. T. U., must earnestly protest against anything that would even seem to commit our great organization to any effort at regulation or license, as applied to any and all forms of sin, and we most unequivocally declare our abhorrence of any compromise whatever w’ith anything which is wrong in principle ov sinful in practice. We utter this, our conviction and protest and our determination never to surrender the principles for which we have always stood as a body, and this we do In the name of God and home and every land.” In. reference to labor questions, the committee favored the eight-hour day law for wage workers and opposition was expressed to strikes and movements of like nature. Evangelistic training schools were commended and recognition and help requested and confidence was expressed in the official organ of the union. Armenia was referred to and the massacres were deeply deplored. Lynching, drink on ships and railways and gambling were the topics of other resolutions. Dr. Mary Wood-Alien, superintendent of the social purity department, offered a resolution, that, after regretting the absence of Mrs. Josephine E. Butler, expressed appreciation and sympathy in her unrelenting crusade against social vice, and requested that she continue to be the association’s leader in purity work. With this addition the resolutions were submitted to the meeting and unanimously adopted. The credentials of the Icelandic delegate, Miss Johannsdqttir, were presented to Mrs. Carse, keeper of the archives in Chicago. Miss Johannsdottir, who is president of the W. C. T. U. of Iceland, and niece of the premier of Iceland, came forward and made a pleasing speech, A discussion of the subject, "How We May Advance the White Ribbon Cause in All Countries,” followed, led by Mrs. Louise Rounds, president of the Illinois W. C. T. V. Miss Todd, ex-president of the Dominion W. C. T. U., broached a plan of sending Miss Frances E. Willard, with her righthand worker, Miss Gordon, around the world to propagate and strengthen the work in other countries. • The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, Ph. D., of the reform bureau, Washington, D. C., whose theme was ‘‘An Extension Movement Among Christian and Reform Organizations,” said: “I bring you the greeting of the reform bureau, the little brother or the child of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, but I do not wish the bureau to be considered too near of kin to propose marriage to the Union after you have discharged your ‘woman’ function by securing woman suffrage. The church of the twentieth century will become a combination of ,Y. M. C. A. and W. C. T. U. with a central institution building for both men and W'omen in every town, and forty departments of applied Christianity. I suggest to the W. ,C. T. U. as the world’s best organized reform, an extension movement, namely, the devotion of one of the regular weekly meetings of every month to a Christian reform federation, to which all oth&r Christian reform organizations in the city or village shall be invited, not as a visitor, but as equal participants, the presidents of the co-operating societies presiding in turn, the two objects being ‘study of reforms,’ ‘union of forces,’ which should become the reform watchwords of the hour. I hope to see erected in Washington, near the national Capitol, a union reform building, in which the offices of the resident officers of the W. C. T. U., the reform bureau, the Anti-saloon League, the National Temperance Society, the Endeavorers, and other Christian committees and all other Christian reform societies, shall be ranged around a central conference hall, all cooperating in a comprehensive plan to secure righteous legislation and at the same time promote reform education throughout the whole continent, Canada and the United States uniting to uplift the lower Spanish civilization and make the new world the ‘new earth’ wherein dwelleth righteousness.” The great auditorium and galleries of Massey Hall were crowded to-night at the closing session of the convention. Miss Frances E. Willard presided, and one hundred one-minute addresses were delivered by as many prominent delegates. The meeting was named a "White Ribbon Love Feast.”

GREAT BRITAIN’S DEBT. It Amount* to Nearly *.‘{,000.000,000 Founded by Charles 11. W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record. The total interest-bearing debt of Great Britain now amounts to £589,146,878, or $2,945,734.390 in cur money, which is equivalent to about $73 per capita of the population. Tho interest-bearing debt of the Unitfd States is $847,365,320, or about sl2 per capita. Charles II had the honor of founding the national debt of Great Britain. Before his time, when the King wanted money he used to got it from goldsmiths or bankers by pledging his jewels or giving mortgages upon the hereditary property of the crown, like any other gentleman, or by squeezing his barons. The "merry monarch” I have named appropriated the property of many of his nobles and gave them notes of hand as security. His brother. Jumes 11, who also needed funds, followed the same course and when William 111 came to tho throne in 1688 he found great trouble in obtaining sufficient money to pay the necessary expenses of the court. Being a prudent man, he "consolidated ‘ or "funded” the obligations Issued by his predecessors in order to conciliate the nobility and strengthen his own position with the people. What was known as the “king’s debt” was then Incorporated, and It was covered by interest-bearing securities to the amount of £664,264. Then followed Ihe wars with France, which compelled William 111. to extend his financial transactions considerably He found an easy way to borrow money, and the revenues of his successors were pledged to pay principal and interest. When ho died the debt of England was £12,750 009 and the annual interest charge was euuai to $6,000,000. Then came the war of the Spanish succession under the great Marlborough, which cost £50.000,000, and at the death of Anne the debt had increased £37,(4)0,000. Before the outbreak of the American revolution there had been a series of wars with France and Germany, including the seven years’ war, which increased the debt $82,000,000. The struggle with the American colonies was the result of taxation to pay for those wars. But that cost £97,000,000, and increased the national debt to £237.400,000. In 1816. after the wars with Napoleon, which coet over $4,tw0,000,W0,

Then followed a gradual reduction, by careful financiering, until 1554, and when the Crimean war broke out the debt was reduced to £794,000,0u0. Tho Crimean war cost £70,000,099. Since that time the wars of England have cost £65,000,000, rot including the regular maintenance of the army and navy. The usual way of reducing the debt is by the application of the surplus revenues in the purchase of what are known as terminable annuities, and by the sinking fund, which was created many years ago. krom the regular receipts of the government $7,500,000 is added to this fund every year. Large sums of money have been bequeathed to the government by wealthy patriots to assist in meeting the publio debt, but it is still very large, and next to France the largest of any nation in th* world. Ireland’!! "Joan of Are.” New York Special. Miss Maud Gonne, who has come to America in the interest of the Irish is one of the most interesting young women that ever came to these shores. Her life has been one of love of country, the poor people of her country and romance. Slie now lives in France, where she edits a newspaper devoted to war for justice to Erin and where the imaginative Frenchmen have given her the title of the "Joan of Arc of Ireland.” She is a convert to Irish nationalism from the camp of the Unionists, and she declared upon reaching America that there was but one object in life for her—the rights of the commoners of her native country. Miss Gonne is hardly what would be expected of her, basing the expectation upon her ancestry and the surroundings of her early days. She is th*. daughter of Colonel Gonne, who was an attache of the English embassy In St. Petersburg. She was reared in the society which would accompany such a position, but as a young girl the stories of the life of O'Connell, the liberator, came under her attention, and at the age of nineteen year* she had resolved to devote her energy and years to the cause which had been his. Sh® was bom in the picturesque gap of Dunlo® in the County Kerry, and as a bit of a girl had been a witness to the McGrath eviction on Lord Bar.try’s estate. Colonel Gonna died about the time she picked her work in life, and left her an orphan, with a fairly good fortune. Parnell, Davitt and O’Leary looked upon her with suspicion for a time, fearing her because of the record of her ancestry for its love of the aristocracy. She had an opportunity to show herlo.v ally during the “Falcanagh evictions,/ where she fought so loyally for the peasants that a warrant was Issued for her arrest. She went, to France, and it is no on® >l' than she who is responsible for the in.-h sentiment there. She appears on the 3ofs riding horseback, arid the sight gave rise to her French title. She has been in the active battle for eleven years, ha worked among the lowly in London and tha dungeons and organized many societies for the Improvement of the Irish peasantry. New York Not Anarchic. Collier’s Weekly. A prominent London newspaper Is authority for the statement that in New York only a quarter of the population is of American birth, and that a lot of anarchic Poles. Russians, Italians and Hungarians will elect the first mayor of Greater New York. As some Americans, too, who ought to know better, have the habit of asserting that the majority of the people of this city are foreigners of the worst class. It may in-: terest them to know that, according to the census reports, only about one-third of the city’s population is foreign bom, and that either the Germans or Irish, both of which races supply as large a proportion of good citizens as the native race, far outnumber all the Europeans named by the London paper. The Poles, Russians, Hungarians and Italians combined number only about one-twentieth of the population, and the great majority of them are as free of anarchic sentiments as any editor In London. The city's political future is far more threatened by demagogues and other wrong-headed persons of not remote British extraction. Plenty of Work on the Farm*. W. A. Wyckoff, in Scribner. "But surely,” I said, "more men apply to you for work than you can possibly employ?" lie looked at me with some wonder at my ignorance. "For a long time I have been looking for a man to help me,” h said. “I’m growing old, tnd I can’t do the work that J once did; and if I could find the right man I’d keep him the year round, and pay him good wages. But the beat young fellows go to the cities, and the rest are mostly a worthless lot. There's hardly a day In the year when 1 haven’t a job for any decent man who'll ask for It. I have to go looking for men, and then I generally can’t find one that’s any account.” Four Vegetarians. Springfield Republican. Vegetarians and total abstainers are beginning to call attention to the fact that four venerable men, Sir Isaac Holden, Sir Isaac Pitman, Gen. Neal Dow, and Francis W. Newman, were all conspicuous for their meager diet, while both Pitman and Newman were vegetarians. It may be added that they looked It. MILLIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN Have kidney and bladder troubles.
