VICTIMS OF A FIRE.

Allegheny City, Pemsjlvirj, Yiital by a Disastrous Cjifltgraiicn. Two Persons Saffoc&ted by Smoke and Two Thought to XI Fatally lajared by J ampins From the Windows. Fitt?bcbg, April 20. One of the mo3t disastrous fires in this vicinity for some time broke out this morning in Willis Bro.' grocery, corner Lacock and Corry streets, Allegheny City, entailing loss of life, besides Id jury to several people and the destruction of considerable property. The building, which is a four-story one, and the largest in the neighborhood, is occupied by Charles, Joim and George Willis. They and their mother and some Toomers occupy the upper stories. Shortly after 1 o'clock Mrs. Willis was awakened by a crackling noise and the smell of smoke. Arising she saw sparks coming up the elevator in the rear portion of the building. ßne alarmed the inmates, and at the same time people on the outside discovered the fire and gave the alarm. A number of persons were known to be in the burning building, and the firemen immediately ran ladders to the various floors, while the police turned their attention to breaking in the doors and fighting their way to the rooms of the unfortunates. Up-stairs, bewildered by the smoke and flames, were Mrs. Willis, Miss Olive Willis, Miss Mary Willis, John Willis, William Eberman, employed as a d:iver by the firm ; two Greeks named Hcggitzrun and Prellerizen, who worfced for the Greek-American Candy Company and roomed in the ballding: Fred Schultz, so employe of the firm; Charles Willis, George Willis and Miss Sophie Boles. These people were first thought of by the firemen, and never has the Allegheny department done better Work. The smoke wa3 thick and hung in dense clouds through passages and hallways. To open a window from one of the ladders was to meet a cloud of suffocating vapor, but into it all both firemen and police plunged. The heads of the frightened women were enveloped in clothes and they were carried out, all uninjured except Sophie Boles; she could not be found, and almost from the first was looked upon as lost. Ore of the most appalling, incidents of the fire was the j um ping of two of the people from the building while the firemen were fighting their way up stairs and the awe-etruck crowd stood on-the str?ets gazing up at the burning building. William .fcberrnan appeared at a window on the third floor. He was too far gODe to shout, but he was seen, and the crowd yelled to him to hold on. A lad ier went up, and a man started to help him. When the rescuer had reached the second floor Eberman was seen to lurch forward and then come down with a crash. Whether he fell or jumped could uot be told. He fell on his bend and shoulders, and was picked up unconscious. One of the Greeks, Hoggitzran, a powerful mm, was the other victim. His room vras on the fourth floor. The bravery of a man in the crowd protably saved his life. The Greek had poised himself on the sill, looking at the flames behind and the pavement below, and then made a spring from the till. Just as the body shot downward a man from the crowd ran forward and "with arms outstretched caught the tailing body. Tbe force sent him to the ground -with the Greek, but the latter's head hit the pavement and it is thought his skull is fractured. The man who had run euch a rish for a stranger disappeared and the Greek was carried away. The fire held on stubbornly and it was 3:30 o'clock betöre it was under control. A search of the house was then made, and the bodie3 of Sophie Boles arM Fred Schultz were found on the fourth lloor. They were still in bed, and had evidently been suffocated from pmoke. The injured, Eberman and the to Greeks, were removed to a hospital, feared, however, that Eberman and Hoggitzrun will not recover. The fire is supposed to have been caused by an explosion of natural gas. The loss is t-tJ.OOO; covered by insurance. FATALLY SHOT BY HIS PAL. An Investigation oi tbe Killing Develops a Conspiracy to Kob a Bank. Galveston, Texas, April 26. A special to the Xews from Laredo says: Marailano Gsriver was shot and killed here early yes terday morning by Theodore Sandus. An investigation of the killing developed a conspiracy to commit one of the most daring robberies ever attempted in Texas the robbery of Milmon National Bank. The bank officials had received information that an organized band of men, composed of Americans and Mexicans, had concocted a plan to rob the bank on the afternoon of April 13 at 3 o'clock. Two of the gang were to enter the bank. One of them was fc present a check to the teller, and when rhat cihcial looked at it, was to level a pis tol at his head with the command, "Hands up; be silent." His confederate was then lo enter through the president's room and rob the vault. In the meantime five others of the gans were to ride up, leading two saddled hones for the use of the their friends In the banks, which the latter were to mount after having secured the booty and ride away, protected by the other eve men. livery day since the bank was notified it has been secretly guarded by a determined posse of deputy aherifij. Yesterday Jesus Perese, x ranciscen Kamons and Manuel Aliuita were arrested on a charge of being implicated in the plot to rob the bank. Subse quently Henry Barnard, the leader, was arrested on a train between here and can Antonio, brought to this city and lodged in jaiL. It now appears from the statement of Theodore Sandus, the slayer of Gariver, that they were members of the gang, and that all the members had taken a solemn oath not to divulge the purpose of the or ganization under penalty ol death. UanTer having accused Sandus of betraying the pang, the latter shot him. Sandus claims that the deceased attacked him with a bowie-knife and that the shooting was done in self-defense. Barnard, who is highly connected, attacked two of tbe others of the gang who are cod fined with him in the nail last night with a knife he had con cealed on his person and dangerously wonncea mem, it is thought one of them wm aie. FOUND IN A CELLAR, Discovery ot Illddea Treasure to the Am oast ol 20,000. Mi i wa ck IK, April 23. A romantic discovery of hidden treasure in tbe cellar of a house on the South Side came to light today. The fortunate gainers by the find are the family of Henry J. Peters, an old resident of this city, who died nearly a year ago at the age of about sixty years. Beters, Who for many years kept a grocery and saloon at the corner of First avenue and Scott street, was niggardly in his habits, was always miserably dressed, and bore -the reputation of being a miser. When on bis death-bed he declined to make a will or give his wife accurate information as to hin aflairs, but told her that after his death she would find that he had left plenty for herself and children. After the old man's death the bouse was ransacked from top to bottom, but no signs of money, bonds or securities of any kind were found. Months went by and the heirs were Inclined to give up hope, when one day recently an accident occurred which led to a happy result The sewer under the house became clogged, and workmen were engaged to remedy the trouble. On taking up the flooring of the cellar preparatory to their work, the men came across a heavy box. securely locked, and too ponderous to be easily moYed. On opening the chest It wm

found to be filled with gold coin, dollars,

eagles and foreign money, to ths aggregate of nearly $20,000. The Probate Judge was immediately notified of the find, me family, comprising a widow and three children, are now living in comfortable circumstances. Peters had been a resident of Milwaukee for twenty-five years. A BID FOR THE BUSINESS. Unexpected Competitors of the Western Union Telegraph Company. New York, April CO. A morning paper prints the following: "The Western Union Telegraph Company yesterday lound an unexpected competitor in telegraphic communication with California. The Postal Telegraph Company, in union with the Baltimore and Ooio and toe united Lines Company, mads a bid forth business between the Fast and the far West by announcing that it would transmit mes sages at the rate of tenEwords for $1. 1 his is a cut of one-third in tne rates oi the Western Union Company, which has hitherto had a monopoly in that field. A still bigger cut, and a more important one. was made in the rates lor money orders, and henceforth money orders can be telesraiued at a rate or ooper cent, less than that hitherto maintained by the company of which Jay Gould is the controlling owner. The attempt to break into the Western Union's business In this territory has been loDg considered by each ot the companies now in the combination, but the effort to do so single-handed was not regarded as likely to succeed. Accordingly, tbe three companies joined nan as in tne fight, which is destined to be a bitter one. Heretofore the rate to San Francisco was as high as that to Europe. It is not thought that the Western Union will meet the cut at present, but should that company decide to meet me cut on money oraers, u is possible that the consolidated companies will go one better by sending such transfers free of charge. The route ofthe new chancel of communication is via the Northern Pacific Ilailroad to Portland, Ore., thence overland to San Francisco," THE BEGINNING OF A WAR For Supremacy Between the Trunk Lines and Western Companies. New York, April 30. The Commercial Advertiser says: The refusal to-day by the Pennsylvania Railroad to sell tickets to the accredited agents of the Western railroads is regarded by Ticket Agent C. G. Lansing as the beginning of war for supremacy between the trunk lines and tbe" Western companies. Mr. Lansing says the Pennsylvania Iload's action is practically a boycott, and that it is one of the results of the meeting of the general passenger agents in this city yesterday. The Pennsylvania, which always takes the initiative in such matters, will be joined, he think?, by all tbe other trunk lines. Mr. LaasiDg characterizes this move on the part of the trunk lines as a most violent attempt to carry out their bold policy of compelling the Western roads to abolish the p-yment of commissions to apents, a policy the Western roads have steadily resisted. The Western roads, be says, will retaliate on Monday by compelling the trunk lines to Ehow cause in the courts why tbe trunk line roads should not furnish tickets as before. The Western roads will also appeal to the Inter-state Commission, claiming that discrimination is belüg made contrary to tbe provisions of the law. Opponents of the trunk lines say this latest move is an attempt to crush out the weak Western roads. SHOT THROUGH THE HEARTH Fatal AOray in a I'ort Worth, Texas, UarKoom. Fort Wortu, Texas, April 2G This afternoon three men went into the Tremont Hotel bar-room and asked for drinks. The bar-keeper, John Rauscher, supplied them Eeveral times, but finally refused to give them any more, saying they had enough. One of the men began abusing Rauscher. During this tirade Rauscher took a pistol from a drawer under the counter and placed it on a sideboard. Rod Quinn, a machinist, who saw Rauscher put the pistol on the sideboard, remarked: "You are getting that pistol for me." At the sama time he drew a forty-five calibre and began firing at Rauscher. The first shot Btruck Rauscher in the hip, and he fell, but, grabbing the counter, lighted himself, when Quinn shot him a second time through the fleshy part of the shoulder. Rauscher by this time had secured his pistol and fired one shot. Quinn fired two more shots, and then, with his com pan ions, ran out of the saloon. He had only gone 100 feet when he handed his pistal to one of the men with him, and. Baying "fcaip," dropped to the ground dead. Rauscher's bullet had passed through his heart. MURDER AND SUICIDE. AHntband Shoots III Wlfe and'Her l'rrnonr aot Thea Takes Hie Own Life. City or Mexico, April 20. The wife of iloreno, a ranchman in Tamaulipas, recently eloped with the son of a neighbor. while her husband was away. They got tnree aays 8r-ari ana traveled toward the interior. Moreno followed and overtook them at a hotel. He located their room and waited until a late hour. Going to the door he rapped quietly. The vouth opened it and was shot dead at the first fare. Mrs. Mereco sprang from bed and ran to the window, but before she could jump her husband emptied his revolver, four bullets taking effect. Mereno exam ined the wounds, and satisfied himself that they would prove fatal. He then drew a sheath knife and stabbed himself to the heart, falling across the body of the unS. 1 . m . conscious woman, wno uiea in a lew hours. Horse and Klder Drowned. LocisvirxE, Ky., April 28. The body of a ycuug Hebrew etock trader was found in Salt River, about two miles from West Point, Ky., yesterday afternoon. Floating near the corpse was a drowned horse. The young man's name was Harris. He and his lather, both of whom were stock traders, and lived In Cincinnati, went to Elizi bethtown several days ago and purchased a horse from a farmer. The father took the train for Cincinnati and tho son con eluded to ride the animal through to Lou isvllle. When he came to the place where the road crosses Salt Itlver he discovered that the bridge had been swept away. Riding down to what he thought was a shallow place he attempted to ford the stream. The swift current carried the bone off Its feet, and soon both horse and rider sank beneath the surface. Arrest of a Murderer. Sai? Aktosio, Tex., April 23. James lleed, an alleged murderer, was captured here to-day. Two years ago a United States soldier, in company with three citi zens, murdered an old jeweler named lwocir, ror bis valuables, in Matamoras Mexico. The murderers were captured an 1 sentenced to be shot Reed and Williams escaped, stole some fine horses and recrossed into Mexico and were present at tne execution oi their fellows in crime. Reed made his way to California where. It is alleged, he committed numerous robberies and has slain two men. An inter national complication now arises; Mexico has a sentence of death passed upon him and California wants him for crime. He denies being the party wanted, but officers and soldiers say they can not be mistaken in this case. n Angostura Bitters is a household word all over the world.

The Charms That Venice Holds fcr the Re flective Tourist. Relics of II er Former Majesty -"What She Was 'and What She Is Views From a Gondola. IThe following letter has been re:cived by a pentleman in Indianapolis from Hon. Addison C. Harris, now traveling iu Europe. I Venice, April 10, 1S37. Dear : This is the City of the SeaIt is about three miles from snore. The "rivers from the mountains brought down fand and soil and carried it into the Adriatic, and, of corns?, dropped it, in time forming low, sandy islands. The city was thickly populated In the time of the n man occupancy. When the Goths came down, the Ilomans, or some of them at least, fled to these islands. The books say that for a long time they lived in little thatched houses and were forced, in some measure, to become sailors. They early became christians, so that when the English and French crusaders were on their way to the Holy Land they came and went by this way, as it was di rectly on the route. Then enice became a maratime city and grew rapidly in wealth and population. The people early formed a kind of a republic and fostered educa tion, and therefore grew in influence, and the city was called the "tjueen or the bea." The rich merchants could not buy farms, for there was no land, and zo they tcok to building palaces. The lower rooms were used for business, the upper lor residences. The roil being stud they had to drive pil ing tor foundations. I heir trade being maratime wholly and water plenty. thev made all the principal streets water ways, so that now there is not a horse nor a mule in the city. lne lana streets are from four to twelve feet wide, while the Grand Canal is wide enough to iloat a Great Kastern. The palaces were built of brick and marble, and three centuries ago. I must believe, the Grand Caml was the handsomest street then in the world. But Columbu3 or Vespucius, or somebody, dis covered America and the Crusaders quit going to Jerusalem to rob the Turks aad bring back the plunder to enice for sale. Again, it was sound that ships could sail to India around the south ef Africa, and Venice was doomed. Ceasing to make moaey, all her people turned to be politicians, and in time the city lost its colonies, its wealth, its inlluence. Napolf oa took it and gave it to Austria in a big trade, and finally it came to be a part of Italy. Yesierdav we rode up an down the Grand Canal in a goadola. They are all black and precisely alike. Some three hundred and fifty years ao the rich made their gondolas so ornate and sumptuous that the plain peorle took the matter in hand and made a law fixing the sizo and forbidding all ornamentation, requiring them to be black, and forbidding all other form of craft. This morning we weut over to what is called tbe Piazza, or Great Square. It is about two acres in size. On two sides are marble buildings. On a third side is the palace Napoleon I. built for the King ot Italy. On the other side is the Church of St. Mark. In 823. they say, the bones of the apostle were brought here. The church is a magnificent temple. It is in the form of a Greek cross with fire domfs. There are nearly two acres of Mosaics about the church, inside and out, worked into all kinds of pictures. The floor is laid in marble and there are 510 marble columns used in the construction of the building. These were brought from the East. The story is that each ship was required as a tax to pay a column 'or tbe right to enter port. Some are white, some red, and some green. They were formerly in temples in Asia and Africa. It took more than a hundred years to complete the church, and it looks like the pictures of Asiatic temples. It is claimed that the architects were from Greece or Constantinople, but nobody now knows who they were. When we got to the church the jam Vas so great we failed to get in. but a half franc opened a door to a stairway which led up to a kind of balcony or private box, from where we could look down on priests and people. A cardinal dressed in a red cap and beautiful robes read a sermon in a splendid voice while sitting in a red velvet and gilded chair. The congregation stood np, as there are no seats. At the side altar many said their prayers and went away. Here and there some were kneeling, 8nd throngs were coming and going all tbe while. In the afternoon he pigeons were fed in the sqnare hutdrsds of them there are, and tarns enough o sit on your arm and eat. Once it was said a pigeon (they call them doves) rendered the state a "great fcsrvice, and thereafter they were taken under the protection of the s'ate; but now they are fed by au Insurance company and by every visitor. The Ilernhardt Kick. fAlbany Argu;. The divine, Euperb and only Sara Bernhardt kicked a tray oil a waiter's shoulders, in New York a few days ago, and now tbe irrepressible waiter has brought suit agsinst her for damages. We have heard of the Abbott and P2mily Sjldene kiss, but never of tbe Bernhardt kick until it was explained by an eye witness. As every feminine reader wants to know how different women kick as fondly as men like to see women run with their mineiDg steps, we shall explain that the Bernhardt kick is decidedly un-American, and has a flavor ot the French-Italian elevation. The graphic eye witness upon the spot said that the superb Sara was in her ravishing morning costume, meditating whether she would buy real estate in New York, like Lily Langtry, or take her money and go to Paris and pay her debts like an honest little man no, woman and come back and settle in America. Either her debts were too large or the beefsteak was of the Texaa rawhide variety, that angered her, as when bis royal noblesse oblige picked his way with uplifted tray Into the bric-a-brac boudoir of the only unconquerable Sara, she let her right toot go and then tbere was a bull in a china shop. Sara has a very small, but a very expressive foot. The eye-witness said she gathered her costume with one swish of her loot to the left, and it fell the costume, not the foot with graceful fold upon her right arm. The slippers were of the Louis XIV. kind. The heels were two stories in height and bronzed, and the toes sparkled with real diamonds set to music in the shape of a heart. The vamps were very low, and the slippers were edged with lace and satin. It is no wonder her foot was restless to kick something'surrounded by such gorgeousness. But to the serious business of the kick. Quick as a flash the divine Sara measured the height of the waiter, backed a foot or two, and slowly at first she raised her foot about to the knee of the waiter, causing him to look downward, which was his fatal second. Like lightning then she let that vicious right foot go, and the graphic artist on the spot said tbere was a perfect cloud of dizzy and mazy lace, inexpressible silk Mesh-colored hosiery, cloxed in fantastic emblems, and the ankle was snugly encircled with a diamond bracelet, and here his vision failed but he was very careful to note that Sara lowered her foot in the same manner as she flitted it, which was convincing that it was an art with her, and not a periodical fit There are a great many people facetious enough to believe that she lowered the foot slowly, because it might be so heavy that a sudden downfall of it would cause her to dislocate her kneepan or jar the hotel. As this is a delicate subject, we leave it to the imagination of the reader the weight of the foot Bat tbe Bernhardt kick introduces to our country women a new phase of freedom. The ordinary Yankee girl can kick, but not with

the grace of the divine Sara. Modern Athens was proud of her women, because they could kick without tuition with that grace that a coryphee premier would surrender her prestige at once. We notice a strong disposition among our countrywomen to

become patrons of gymnasiums, and we do cot believe it would be indelicate to practice the Bernhardt kick in private. Anything that is muscular developing, with the prime consideration of healthful exer cise, is to be encouraged, and the more we think of it, we believe that our lankee 1 women are not going to allow the unimpressionable Sara Bernhardt to come over here and beat us with her feet. Not much. However, it would be better to wait until the waiter gels through with his suit, for it Is hinted that in court the divine Sara will have to explain by practical illustration how she kicked the waiter, and then we will have all the details in baa relief. It can not be disputed, however, that there are a great many men in the broad United States that an willing to be kicked by Sara Bernhardt, and not sue her for it. KNOTTI PROBLEMS. .

REMARKABLE VOYAGE.

Valuable nistortcal Document Brought to Light In Koxbury, Mass. I Boston Herald. 1 An obscure and vet important part of American history is at length cleared up by a document furnished by a resident of Koxbury. It Is the journal of Captain ltobert Haswell, who sailed on the expedi tion of exploration and adventure that erst carried the nag of the Lnlted Mates into the Northern Pacific Of this voyage, whose ultimate results have been bo important to our nation, little hitherto has bean known, for no other record has ever been obtained, and this authentic narrative of the first visit of an American vessel to the far Northwest coast can hardly be too highly prized by the historian. Interest in that section had been excited by the reports of the celebrated explorer. Captain Cook, who bad visited the coast in search ol a passage from the i'dcihc to tbe Atlantic Cook had found a wealth of val uable furs in possession of the Indians, which they sold for the merest trifles. Therefore, a company of Boston merchants nttea out two vessels to inaugurate the fur trade. In one vessel, the Lady Washington, Mr. Haswell sailed as second mate. This filoop, which was of but ninety tons, straggled southward in the face of stormy seas, rounded the Horn, and at length reached their destination. The Indians at first were friendly, fur nishing large quantities of berries and crabs without payment. They readily excharged their skins for iron and copper implements, and received trifllnc presents With every demonstration of joy. While waiting lor the tide Mr. Haswell went ashore with a number of men for the benefit of his health and to secure a load of grass and Bhrubs for the vessel's live stock. The Indians received them in the most friendly manner, inviting them to their dwellings, and amusing them with a war dance and an exhibition of their skill with arrows and spears. Subsequently Mr. 11 as well and another officer went to a little distance m search of clams, leaving the men cutting grass near the boat. While thus engaged au Indian seized a cutlass, which the captain's servant had left sticking in the sand, and ran away with' it, closely pursued by the toy. Mr. Haswell, accompanied by two others, went in search of the boy, and found that he had caught the thief. They were surrounded by Indians, who at once killed the boy and attacked the three Americans. Out of the desperate strait they fenght their way, firing with their pistols upon the boldest assailants, and at length succeeded in reaching the shore and wading to the boat, although Beriously wounded. The savages pursued in canoes, but tbe boat succeeded in reaching the ship, and a few discharges of the swivel-gun crove the Indians off. In commemoration of this attack the place was called "Murderer's Harbor." The sloop then proceeded northward, and, concerning its discoveries, Mr. Haswell wrote: "I am of opinion that the straits of Juan de Fuca exist, though Captain Cook positively asserts that they do not : for. In the very latitude where they are said to lie. the coast takes a bend, which very probably may be the entrance," As they proceeded northward, they discovered frequent indications of other vessels being on the coast, and at length fell in with two English ships, under the command of Captain Meares. While with the English, no trading could be done, as the Indians declined all communication. This. Mr. Haswell states, was in consequence of Meares' custom ot taking the natives' property by force and giving in payment what trifles he chose, freely U3ing his muskets to prevent their escaping his clutches. Mr. Haswell's documents give impartant light upon the complications that arose on the coast between the representatives of the English and Spanish nations. These are of the greater historic value, coming as they do from a disinterested witness of the difficulty which so nearly plunged those two Europern nations into war. Mr. Haswell's narrative comes to an abrupt termination while on the coast; but it is known that he sailed westward to China on his vessel, which,, after "disposing of its furs there, trok a cargo of tea and continued on to Boston, being the first ship to circumnavigate the globe under tbe UDited States flag. History, hewever, is further indebted to tdm In its account of Northwestern exploration for a log kept by him on a Eecond voyage to the Northern Pacific This log begins on the llth of Aucust, 1791, just before he ihed Queen Charlotte Islsnd. His yes. sei wintered on tf "t. a if tlie time was passed in constructing a small sloop from material brought from Boston. This was tbe Eecond vessel built on the coast. Work was carried on as rapidly as the Ehort, dark days would permit. There was plenty of hard work in felling trees and sawing planks. The sloop was launched by the end of winter, and was christened the AdVenture. Mr. Haswell was placed in command, and with the opening of spring he sailed out to secure the harvest of furs. THE RELIQIOU3 WORLD. Nine Protestant denominations are doing mission work in Mexico. The German Koman Catholic population of New York City is estimated at 1S5.000, worshipping in twelve churches. Nearly 1,000 persons were confirmed by Bishop Potter, of New York, in twenty visitations during the week preceding Easter. By the death of Bishop Lee, Right Rev. f John Williams, Bishop of Connecticut, be comes presiding bishop of the church in this country. In preparation for the jubilee service it is stated on authority that Westminster Abbey will be entirely closed fo the public for two months, dating from May 2. Daily prayers are now a part of the routine on board every vessel in the British navy, and on tbe Sabbath there are frequently two services instead of the one. "My young friend?" he, nid solemnly, "do yon ever attend a plafl worship?" "Yes sir, regularly every ßiii y night," replied tbe youth; 'Tra on my way to see her now." Mamma Ethel, dear, I noticed that young Mr. Spriggs kept bis eyes on you all through the sermon. Ethel Why, isn't Sunday tbe best day for him to show his devotional feelings. It is proposed to organize a national pilgrimage from Ireland to Rome on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the Pope next year. A similar pilgrimage has not taken place since 1698. The general term of the New Y'ork Supreme Court has decided that the Young Men's Christian Association is a religious organization, and as such its property is exempt from taxation. Rev. Mr. Highflyer I delivered that sermon ofl-hand. I hadn't Riven it a moment's thought. How did you like it? Frank Hearer I can't say. You see, I didn't give it a moment's thought, either. The Presbyterian Board of Missions, In view of its serious embarrassment of funds, has issued a circular calling for two collections year, in place of the one which is ordinarily taken in most of theii churches. "And don't you know why, Bobby," Baid the minister, who was dining with the family, "your mamma doesn't want you to eat a second piece of pie?" 14 Yes, sir,'' replied Bobby. "She said if you didn't take any there would be enough left for to-morrow." A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader says that Philadelphia, from being a city of Quakers, is coming to be a city of "Episcopalians." There are, by his count, 127 churches and chapels there. He thinks that all the denominations are becoming more "ritualistic" all the time. The tendency is all in one direction away from puritanism, The Quakers, he ' aays,

are coming in droves to the church, and they become the highest of high churchmen. Episcopal duty in some parts of Australia has its humorous side. One prelate, on his first journey around, was flung into the deep mud by a restive horss. Rising ruefully with his chaplain's help, and surveying the place, the bishoD console 1 himself with the reflection : "I have left a deep impression in that part of the diocese, at any rate." Clerical Gent (to fellow-passenger) Have you ever thought that in the midst of life we are in aeath? Fellow-passenger Often. "Have you reflected that any moment we may be hurled into eternity, and that we ought to be prepared for that event?" "I've said so a minion times." "Is it possible that I am speakiDgto a brother clergyman? I judged from your dress " "I'm an insurance agent. Just let me show jou a few figures " Missionary societies engaged In Africa have made a thorough investigation of the liquor trade in that continent, and find that in a single year 8,751,527 gallons of spirits were imported from Great Britain, Germany, the United States, and Portugal. Drunkenness is spreading at a frightful rate, and the missionaries think it a cruel thing that tbe agent of so much evil should come from nominally Christian lands. An interesting experiment has been tried In Glasgow by submitting the question of local option in the matter of the liquor traffic to the test of a plebiscite. From the result it appears that 77,24G householders were in favor ot giving the people entire control of the liquor traffic, and 8,5"5 were unfavorable; 57,701 were in favor of entire prohibition, while 19,411 were unfavorable;

71,4:27 were favorable to a reduction in the present number of licensed houses and 0,591 were unfavorable; were op posed to au new licenses, and ll.üJOwere not opposed to them. MURDER OR ACCIDENT? A Hermit, Said to be a Russian Nihilist, Meets Instant Death. I Fort Myers (Fla.)

Russell, formerly of Madison, Ind., and his son Dudley. For three or four years an island near Fort Myers has had for a hermit-like resident Unstave thucar, a fugitive Russian Nihilist, who has made admissions which leave no doubt that he was implicated in the plot which ended in the murder of the father of the present Ci:ar. In fact, Chucar exhibited Russian papers in which a reward was cflered for his capture. Upon his arrival in the State Chucar took possession of the island, with the owner's consent, built a hut, and prevented all persons from landing. He always went armed, and had a couple of rifles hung on the wall. Last week Mrs. M. C. Yeomans Bold the island to Mr. Russell. Y'esterday, with her husband, she accompanied the Rasse lis to the issand to persuade Chacar to leave it. Upon learning their mission he threatened to kill any one who attempted to dispossess him.Dnring the parleying young Russell and Mr. Yeomans cot between Chucar and his weapons, and Mr. Russell snatched up one of tbe rifles, which was discharged. killing Chucar instantly. The Rassells lied and Yeomans and his wife returned to Fort Myers. They claim that the shooting was occidental. It iü rumored that papers meking important Nihilist revelations are among Chucar a effects. game One. .Detroit Free Press A young lady had finally been persuaded to approach the piano, and she was looking for the music of "The Old Oaken Bucket," when a tired-looking old lady ad vanced and whisoered : "My dear, is this that same old song?"
