Daring a golden autumn day, spent wilh tome friends at Higbgate. the most charm ing suburb of London, we were taken to fee tte quaint eld place bestowed by Charles II. on his favorite of favorities, 'ell Gwynn. It hes suffered strange mutations eicce Nell's time, not the least strange being that it now has for a mistress a fair American, the youn? wife of Sir Sydney "Waterlow. Bat Lady Waterlow does not dwell in the balls or wander through the grounds which once rang with the light laughter and lighter songs of the ex-orange-giil, ex-actress, her royal lover, and his roy stering companion?. Ah, no! for the house has fallen into dismal decay, while the grounds have, through years of neglect, become a tangle and labyrinth of shrubs and vines lifce to the magic gmardd gardens of the Eleepirg Beauty. Indeed, so rank is the growth of nntended flowers, fast relapsitg into primitive barbarism, eo insolent the spread cf weeds, so still and slumberoas the atmosphere of this enchanted ,bit of tue past, standing at bay against the 'mighty roar of the fast-advancing town, that one could easily iancy Nell yet in fcer quaint bed-chamber, sunk in her prolonged beauty-sleep, bat, perhaps, juät ready to wake, take a bath in her shallow marble tub, array herself in rich stalls aad colors, just come" again into fashion after two centuries, and start out on a new career cf conquest. The court proper, or the proper court, would not receive her, nor even the demi-court of the heir-appirent, crecly; but the stage would be more thai ever open to her. She would probably come to "the west, To dazzle when the -un is down. And roo the world of rest," revel in republican homage, and roll in greenbacks," like toother pretty favorites cf princes. Tee Merry Monarch was very fond of this Higbgate place pleasant and cozy, but never luxurious ind with it is connected a significant little story. Oae moraine, as Charles was strolling up and down the brick-paved terrace, with his csaal bodyguard of little long-eared spaniels, Mistress Eleanor Gwynn appeared at her chamber window, holding in her white, dimpled arras a pretty baby, who mccb resembled tnj King "With the self-iaiae eyes and hair." More than once the proud mother had solicited for him a ducal title, and estates to support it; but her liege had put her oil, fearful of establishing a precedent which might strain the royal treasury. Now, lookicg down from the window an 1 holding forward the child, she cried. "A title, your Majesty, or out gres the brat. ! The indolent King was alarmed for his beautiful boy. and instantly exclaimed, Save tbe Duke of St. Albans!" Some of England's noblest titles and estates have had their origin in some such ignoble way, date directly back to honors and rewards bestowed by profligate kings and princes on low-born courtesans and their "brats." Tba blue blood of Britain .is not altogether cerulean, but has now and then a very earthy tinge. The scandals which so frequently disgrace the highest English society and shock the world are outbreaks of the cancerous corruption of past generations. Yet the royalty of to-day, not only of England, bat of continental kingdoms, ia certainly more decent and decorous than that of less than a century ago if It is not absolutely more virtuous. In Eogiand this improvement is, of course, largely due to the example of the 'virtuonsest, discreeteet, beBt" of queens. Her uncle William had hia palace well stocked with and his civil list weilburdened for his natural children; her uncle George wa?, as all the world knows, the grsitest of royal -voluptuaries and libertines, and even her venerable grandpapa Lad in hi3 youth his princely piccadilloa. It is, perhaps, an open question whether the royal and ducal folk of old times, who handsomely provided for their mistresses and boldly acknowledged and ennobled their illegitimate children, were more immoral than these of our day, who conceal irregular relations and ignore their unhappy consequsnces; but about the honesty and manliness of the two courses there can be no question. It may be that the growing resmeness of that once stupid animal, the tax-payer, has something to do with the decrease of roval profligacy. Seen under the white light of absolute morality, I cannot claim that the daily walk and conversation of the popular x-rinceoi uaiea presents a lorty to high English society, yet I do lieve him the Don Giovanni or pains he taa been represented. example not be-Bardaaa-lie posaeseet too genial, kindly and frank a nature at a too mucn good sense to attempt a Prince Kf gent role; that la played out. And then, he ia too busy with bridge and park openings, and exhioition Iraugnratings; he la 'whirled from banquet to banquet, from chair to chair; he is waltzed through galleries, is called to wrestle with Albert monnmentamnd statues and multitudinous buLs. It teems to be the policy of the Qasen and her advisors to keep the royal family "to the fore," to have not only the Priace of "Wales, but all his brothers and siaUr, nephews and nieces, act np to the l;h dien motto serving the people In all proper ceremonial ways and the people work them well. Last summer the three-year-old Duke of Albany actually laid thi foundation of a public building, and did kila "level best" with his little trowel to prove to British tax-payers that they were fretting their money's worth out of the Caelpha, Unquestionably the English royal family of to-day is an improvement on that with which the century opened. On the morals of the aona and daughters of George III. History ia reticent, and. will be during the life of the good Queen ; but lam afraid that there waa scarce a man or woman of the whole big family whose character hould be discussed except in camera. AI krt Edward ia like to the long run of Princes cf Wales since Edward, born at Carnarvon; there has probably not been a Joseph among them; but no great scandal liaa attached to the lives of the Queen's ether sons. The Duke of Edinburgh is said to be too parsimonious to be profligate, while the Duke of Connanght is too domestic too like hia father. Oddly enough, the only exception I remember was in the case of the late Duke of Albany rever nced by loyal Eogliaa people as a sain t and by his elder brother's sray associates pronounced "a mufl." It was whispered tuai o naa in me sunny eoutn a onesiionaoieasa saa little romance, and that it had to do with hii untimely and and den death. But I don't believe it. No Onelph ever committed suicide. Leaving aside the deeper question of per irenal morality, me most seriout '.acting In J character of the Pnnce of Wales la the
lack cf seriousness. lie is a man who, of all things, loves to be amused, and who is rot over-scrupulous as to who or what amuses him. In bis visits to Paris he frequents the Palais Royal and Opera Eoui!, and between the acts drops into the loges of the the prettiest, and gayest ot the artistes. This habit is so notorious tha: Zola did cot hesitate to put him into the drefirg-rocm of his beautiful and terrible "N ana." In London, comic actors, singers, and pertonatora, all sorts of "fancy m-n," and br!ght,origical, witty women aresare of hia gracious patronage. He finds high tragedy, even when superbly present.!, as at the Lyceum, "alow," and classical German music even the compositions of his lamented father a bra; while when he gees to grand opra, he generally goes to sleep. He is royally foad of good living, the tuif, and all sorts of sport; is a great e.'augbtertr of pipeons, aad once shot a corralled elephant. He has a quick eye and a psf siocate admiration for benuty. He e n tt rtaic s msgni ficen tly, but h is gu es, even, when foreign princes, are generally respectable people. The clever men and pretty won: en of Inferior station, or no station at ell, whose acquaintance he wishes to make, he manages to have invited to the house of some obliging friend, where he meets tbera. One of the best things I know of him is his hearty liking something as near friendship as a prince la capable of for certain beautiful countrywomen of ours, whom he has felt compelled to respect. I will instance Miss Anderson, Mrs. Totter yes, and lovely Miss Jennie Chamberlain. To nonect these has the flattering regard of this miidleaged "Prince Charming" been.real;beneüt, perhaps, but I believe it was au honest and loyal tribute to beauty and genius. The Prince is beyond question kindly and generous; men of hisset pronounce him "a capital good fellow;" but, republican as I am. itceemB to me that the heir to the proudest and noblest crown in the world should not be any fellow's "good fellow." If anything could tober the man, e7en after a wild youth, it would seem that a time like this were enough a time when the rising tide of popular disaflection, tha sullen, miry tide of desperate want, is lapping against the steps of the throne when 1he political sky oi all Europe is black with threatening and lurid with yortents. In his marriage the Prince of Wales ha3 no advantage over his brothers, except in the popularity and beauty of his wife. Tb9 Dcchets of Eoinburgh, though littla liked in Ecgland, is a woman of strong character, rare Intelligence, and dignity of demeanor; tie Duchess of Connaugnt, an excellent little creature, ard no fool, holds her husband's heart in tpite of her exeding plainness, while tne Princess of W-iie, amiable, graceful and gracious, is rather negative in character. She is preteroatarally jourg, with no trace of sorrow or trial or even fiorght, in cer pretty, placid face; fond of amusement, frankly frivolous, and not too lealotis of her dignity. In fact, the charming royal mtron yet retains all a pretty girl's ioteof &dm ration, dms and adornment. It is little wonder if in the-e critical times serious English people look for.trd with some apprehensioi to the coming to the throne of this pair of perennially youthful pleasure-lovers. They my love and admire, but they do not wholly trust them. They fear that the court cf the future reign will be rather a mercantit
than a moral advantage to Lnd n; that in it science, literature and art of the high est character, great public eu'erprU?, and schemes of education and benevolence will find even less aid and comfort than in the pmtnt melarcboly.m'g'diOfj, and miserly court; while through its favor will tlucrish mightily costumers, milliners and tailors, fumy men and horsey-men, French ccmtdieccee and singers, and American champion (hots, showmen, swimmsrs an d pugiiUts. On the second Sunday in December good English churchmen mu have prayed wi'.h unusual fervor for the Qtieen long to reign over them, steady and stolid, proper and pious as she Is, f ot the mischievoas lit'le bird of the telegraph musthave carried to the remotest parts of the kingdom news of the interview between the British Heir-Apparent and a notorious American prize-fighter. The account of th8 courtesies .exchanged between these two powerful personages, in which the Irish-American did not by any means take a secondary position the report of the conversition, liberally spiced on both sides with the slang of the ring, and preceded and followed by "hearty hand-shakes," must have been tough reading for aristocratic and refined conservatives. Yet I am afraid there is not among the entire English aristocracy a peer or a prelate too proud to kiss the hand of his Royal Highness after the grip of Sullivan, the slugger. Put we republicans ehould not be trou bled. The lees the l'rince realizes the mighty responsibilities and magnificent opportunities of his own position, the more he cheapens royalty through such unworthy associations, the better for the principles of democracy and equality. Let him continue to make light of hU dignity and his destiny a few years longer, and a great change must come either in him or the entire system cf English sovereignty. This is an age of miracles; the saving change may come in him, and he may yet show himself as moral and as mean as "Prince Hal," who si Henry V. publicly cut rx,or old Jack Falstail and, "nnkindest cot of all," preached to him like a Salvation Army extorter. But that Prince of Wales waa still young when he turned over a new leaf in history ; this one has pasted the age at which his lather ceased from his virtuous labors, so is little likely to pese for posterity as Albert-the-Gcod II. Grace Geeks wood. Republicans Connived at It. New York Herald. Under the Timber Lands act a man can claim one hundred and sixty acres provided he is a bona fide settler. All right. Keep that fact in sight. Four huntred men were engaged at fifty dollars apiece. Some of them were ignorant ot the criminality of their deed and some of them were scoundrels. At any rate they filed into the Government Land Office, registered their individual claims to one hundred and sixty acres of thla valuable timber land, swore, of conrse, that tney were actual settlers and, of conrse, perjured themselves, then went across the street to a Notary Public and signed a deed conveying the land to the manager of this Scotch syndicate. Four hundred bogus settlers at $50 per head put this English president and his Scotch company in possession of sixty-four thousand acres of the most valuable timber land on the globe, worth, aa Patnam, the expert, estimates, twenty-two million dollars on the stump. Before President Cleveland went to the White House and put a check to this infamous land robbery, foreigners bad got possession of a tract of territory in the very heart of this country more than twice the extent of Ireland. They hold it to day. It is a disgrace to the Republican party, never to be forgiven, and they connived at such Infamous procedure. They went out of office none to soon for the good of the Be public Cast End Lumber Company Iuvolved. Wilbur B. Allen yesterday filed suit In the Superior Court for the appointment of a receiver for the East End Lumber Com i any. The firm is composed of W. Bailer, John A. Keaume and Garland R. Stewart, and Mr. Allen complains that the firm is indebted in the amount of $15,000, and that the creditors are threatening suit. In order to prevent the dissipation of the assets In litigation, he asked the appoint ment of a receiver, and to this the other members of the firm agreed.

My sen, yon may not be missed a great deal bv a very wide circle of people when you die. It won't be necessary for you to leave much money for a tombstone. Tae few people who love you, who tenderly and dearly and truly love, will know which mound covers your sleeping figure, aad they can find it just by the ferns and grasses that wave aoove it, and a monument ninety feet high won't make strangers care for you, or make them love you, or make them remember you. You may not be missed a great deal by very many people when you die, my boy, but that Isn't what you want to think about. You want to make yourself felt and noticed while you are here. That's what yoa want to do. And that ia more than most men do. Just run your eye over thia paragraph again, if you have time, and think over it a little, while you are waiting for morning service to begin. Now and then you will meet a man who ectually rejoices In a mean, envious sort of way to think that in a tew years his more popular, prosperous, successful ceighcor will be dead and forgotten. It may be true Tte bi?:, wide world is so bnsy with the living that she does ssem to forget her children when they fall asleep. But 5 on will notice taat the man who rejoices in thia 1 nsucliy a man whom she has forgotten while he yet lives; who is tot noticed; Tvho is not ftlt or heard ia the world et all. Now, do you go ahead, my boy, and don't stop ta wonder whether ths world will remoraber joa tnd missyouone hundred years from now Ii:t!e you'll care frrttisOld World in a hundred years; Heaven serd it msy be under your fet tben jou jujt co ace ad and make yourself felt now. When ycu are gone the world will get along without yon, my boy; but while you are here, do yod make it understated that you are running part of this show yourself, if it N nothing more than standing at the tent door and directing the t.ecp!e to pass to the right and move alons in front of the cages. F.TKiCETTE FOE THE PARLOR. Do not msnifrst impatience or interrupt Tthtn another Is speiif.rg. it yoa tniaz the monologue has continued long eoouh, Uan comfortably back in your char, a3sume an expression of intens 3 interes c'oso vour eye and enore, not hirshly or impatiently, so as to give cCense, but wita tie long drac, musical cadences ot a contented man, who Is glad to sleep and has nothing for which to remain awakeDo not Introduce professional topics in general conversation. It is much better to talk about yourself all the time. Then people will have no difficulty in understanding you. A sweet, white-haired old lady, who is qevoted to foreign missions, will hardly rise to the leval of your enthmiams when you tell her how they scored six times before they got the word, and tben they swa?eled rtt with Scraggy Jim at the pole and Wild Sal running under th9 wire, and Sleepy Jane, that yon backed to win in three straight hea?e, broke four time3 on the first quarter, and got fchut clean out at the distance pole. Yoa will interest her more deeply If you tell her how all the girls are deed set after you, but you are too hard-heartedly sharp for 'em. This kind of talk always interests old married people. Do notconticually interject "you know" and "yen tec" into your conversatloo. Sy rather "Sow, John?" or Cull? ' or"Ive tumble. "KeiCl on that, CSn.lt O Then people will know that yoa have besn to college away from hornt;. Never listen to a remark the first time it ia made.

The oppressive little lacsee in conversation can be most beautifully rilled in by whistling. If you can drum an accompaniment on tte window-pane with your Hogers, the eflect will be charming. People will te gTeatly pleased with you when you go away. ?ut, of course, tne will be too polite to cay so. ATX AMERICAS SERENADE. An American serenade la a proJactof tbe nineteenth centary. If an Americas gentlemen wins a meerschaum' pipe at a rill'.e, or is elected President of the United States, or if be trees abroad, or. fights a French duel, r eets twenty-four dozsn f ggs in twenty four days, or if, like the illustrious Dr. Tanner, be goea without eating aoytbine lor thirty-seven days, he is royally serenaded. The American knight does not go alone when he gosth fort a to serenade some people. Be gneth in a crowd, with a brass band and some Roman candles. blue lights, and sky rockets. The oSject of the American serenade ia cot to delight the soul with the witchery of music that comes ss delicately as the sweet south wind that breathes upon a national bank of'aweet violets." stealing a great deal rooie odor than it gives. It is not to entrance the man in whose honor the serenade is given, with the harmony ot softbreathed sound nntll, "Borne on tbe s welling notes our souls aspire, while solemn airs impiove the sacred fire, and angels lean from the battlements of heaven to hear." Ah, no, my good friends ! The thoroughbred American serenade is none of that. It h to frighten the bending arch of heaven with a crash of brass and sheepskin, and theo, when attracted by the noise, or waiting, by previous appointment, the astonished man under whose windows all the silence is thus rudely sbattered, rushes out to see what is tbe trouble, the braying of the horns is drowned in wild, fierce shrieks of "speech! speech!" And tben the distinguished American citizen 'norates," while the impatient crowd gathers around the band and talks with the musicians, who do not understand a solitary word of our English, until the time shall arrive when the speech is spoken, and they are asked in to have "tomethiog." THE. SECRET OF SUCCESS. It seems to me that the success of the diligent people who stand before kings and 3ueens of various degree, Is, in a measure, ue to their successful diligence, and, furthermore, this succesif al diligence indicates the existence of certain qualities essential to success. True, there are captains who creep In through the cabin windows, and there are generals unfit to be servants, but these pampered pets of unjust favoritism do not "stand" before kings; they bow and crouch before them. But when one is successful in tpite of adverse criticism and harp competition, I am inclined to think there must be some reason for his success. Yon ask me, for Instance, what is the eocret of Mrs. Brown Potter'e success? Well, I think It is her success. But you say, "There
are twenty g'rls fn all our lartre citfes more beautiful than she.: I don't douot it, I think there are twenty-one. And, "they ere more gifted, and blessed with better education?" "Yea, I know that." "And their social position is hieher?" "I should say 0, my dear." "And they have great hittiicmc talent?'' "Indeed they have; I agree with you." They can cct all arouad her?" "Of course they" can." "And they ought to have her place on the American itge? ' Well, then, why don't they have it?1' THE ECIEXCE OF SXOEIXG. Your lungs, my dear child, are your breathing things your bellows, to speak profets:OEal5y, a la Mr. Sullivan, at present of London. Now, when a sleeping Christian breathes, he breathes through his noss alone. When the air passes through the ccse it cently presses the swaying endcf the palate down upon the tongue. Tne vibration is greatly impeded, if not entirely checked, and no sound is produced. Bat if you hold joar mouth wide open while youslcep, so that the two currents of air pass in and out through the nose and the raouth, the toft palate is right in the path cf a respiratory cyclone; it 13 thrown into a state of violent vibratory commotion; it flaps and 11 utters back and forth like a robe deceit on tbe clothes-line on ara and gusty day in March, and you Enore like a policeman. According to the rapidity or tlowness of the vibrations, the snore is thrill and Bonorous, or profoundly deap acdgutfuraL So, if yea snore, or think ycu do, you know now how yoa may easily prevent it. Pat a base-ball in your mouth when you lie down ; cr you can sit np all night and keep awake. Either of these will keep the most probable snorer Lorn snoring. rOWEB OF LASGrAGZ.

It is true that there is an Oklahoma organization with quite a large membership, and that the cumber of persons who dasire to secure homes in Oklahoma is rapidly increasing; but I assure yoa that there has not been aa effort made by tbe colony In the past two years, except we have tried to secure legislat'on at the bands of Congress.

A semiorScial statement is isued from St. Petersburg to-night with reference to the failure of the Czar to a speech at his New Yesr reception. The assertion is mads that the Czar has not been in the habit of making any political statement on that occafiea. This is only partly true. Both the late and the present Czar have;been wont to mase a Ehort address of a semi conversational c'jartcier to the diplomatic circka Yesterday evening the Czar refrained from convtrting with General Yon S3hweiri z German Ambassador, and Count Von WolkecBtein-Frostburg, the Austrian representative. At one period oflhe;reception the Russian Generals and Ministers grouped themselves around tae Czr, expecting an important utterance. His Msjesty, after whispering a few minutes with M. De Gier3, turned to the others and formally oilcred the congratulations of the season. Then he sidled cut Minister Vkhdegraski, M. PomedonoefT and SäCretary of State Otrovski for a private talk. The incident is cohsidered an intimation that tha war party triumphs. Arnocg the list of hoaors.conferred, PaaE.'avists alcce are favored. The list of decorations leaves the impression in Berlin acd Yiecca official c!rcles that the Czar is hoepleetly under the command of the aggmeives. The ilosoowGizetta to night says that cn tbe nineteenth day after the Epirhany (Russ'&n style) the Czar will f resic.e at a crand military fete, when he will declare his policy. The Cztr's action in choosing a military feta as th occasion on; which to rr.ake this declaration les inueased the feeling of disquiet.

AU Polish. cfü:fM are being re c-.cved from the frontier regiments and sect to take commands in the interior. CERMASY ASD AUSTRIA. On the German acd Austrian sides th movements are kept a profound secret, but it is impossible to conceal the fact that there Is aa active pssssga of trooDs from Tcsen to the Silesisn frontier. The first clear exposition of the situation of aötirs is hoped for from Herr Tiszt, Hungarian Piime Miniver, in trs rep'v u tue nterpellation of Herr Htlfy. Tbe toraoer of a majoiiiy of tbe members of the Hunra"ian Parliament is ardency warlike. Ualess I'rem;er TiizVs explanation shows that the forces on tus frontier of Galicna'e ample to repel scy invasion, Depu'y rxeczel threaten ;o move a vote of cenanre. Tae Vienna Wcbr Z?ituag, the military ogn. states that Russia has a forca of 100,000 cavsJry on the frontier, so organised aa to act independently of the infantry, which Is ready to pene trate into Galicia at a moment's notice to inipeda tha mobilization cf Austrian troops. This statement echoes hat tbe War Department at Berlin has been pressing upon the attention of the Austrian Department with good effect. The Austrian War Office is now conhlent that there are satlicient forces in Central Lemberg and in Przemist, and Gzernowitz to arrest a Russian advance. GEF.MAX LEGISLATURE. Both houses tent messages to the Crown Prince expressing sympathy for him and hopes for speedy restoration to health and return home. The session promises to be undisturbed by any serious question. Tae Conservatives and National Liberals await the result of the debate in the Reichstag cn the five yeais Parliament project before proposing a similar measure in the Landtig. The Centra party will raise trouble over the suppression of the Polish language in the teaching cf religion in the province cf Posen, The authorities have dismissed the Mayors opposing the suppres sion otthe Polisn tongue, ana have closed the schools and threatened to suspend the clergy. The prie3'.s of the provmcs appealed to Archbishop Dinder, who replied, advising submission. A section of the clergy rejected the Archbishop's advice, and appealed to the Pope. Archoishop Dicder, alter a conference with the Brltn authorities, issued an order to the priests to desiet from fomenting opposition to tbe Government under penalty of suspansion. This order has not calmed the agitation. Tbe Polish party has started three journals with avowed aim of educitiog the children of the people, and of keeping alive the Tohsh national sentiment, Herr Wind Ihorst intends to move that the Government modify the action of tae PoBen authorities In suppressing the nsaof the Polish language in religious teaching. FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Bourse was adversely affected by a passage in tbe speech from the throne to the Prussian Diet alluding to the contingency of events interfering with tbe m tintenar.ee of the financial equilibrium. Foreign securities declined M per cent, and credits fell three marks. Daspite the war scares business on tbe Boerse keeps active. Comparative statistics for the past five vars disclose rapid crowth of operations. In 18S3 the loans issued in Germaoy amounted to 7S2.0U0 000 marks, last year they reached 1,032.000,000 marks, of Which 45C.C00,C00 marks was foreign loans, a proof that the financial center of Earope is now Berlin, to which capital even Frank fort business is cow transferred. Tne returns of the Reichs Bank show that the bank, with fifteen branches, cleared, In 1887, 14,207,000,000 marks, aainst 000.000 marks The latest advices from'San Remo'declare that the reporta that the Crown Prince's malady had taten an unfavorable turn are nctiue. There were symptoms of a recurrence of the swelling, but the trouble has been checked. The press has ceased to discuss the case. The best informed circles continue absolutely skeptical as regards the possibility of a cure being eflected. Herr Hazenclef, who has been prooouoced hopelessly insane, will be placed in a hospital In Berlin cn Monday. His sest in thelleicbstag will be declared va-ant. "2The trial of thirty Socialists is beinj carlied on privately at Posen. It is certain lhat all will be convicted of being members of a secret society. At Dresden three tJocIalist members of the municipal council, Herren Stelzer, Horn 8nd Mullier. have been sentenced to four months' imprisonment each, for nail? e abutive language toward a police nöcer- .... v . In Freiberg and Brelgau Socialists Bohl, Steck. Yorjrer and Fucbs have been sentenced to Imprisonment oi several months

"Want to mase $50,0CO this winter?" queried a hawk eyed men with alcp-shoul-der to a shoe dealer oa Michigan avenue yesterday. "Of course." ' Then buy my ptent." He unrolled a package and broS'rht to

There is a 6trong probability that tte bodies of the five dead Arsrchists will be removed from Wldbeim acd cremated. Matthew Schmied irger, who was prominent in arranging the details of the burial, said to-day that John Buchler, tte banker, who is president of tbe Waldbeim Cemetery Company has still in his possession the deed for the lots bought bv the Anarchist Defense Committee, aDd insists upon the latter signing aa iron clad agreement that no other bodies 6hall be interred ia the plot; that no demoDistraions cr speeches are to take place inside the cemetery, and that aoy monument Jnrcriptiors fciali b inbruitted to the cemetery directors. Tue Anarchists Claim that all this was no pert ot" their bargain, quite the reverse in fact, ani that they have been over-rejcu-d after having paid their money. Thy say the deed ws xeturced to Jlr.'Euehler merely to ba rewritten in some unimportant particulars To day the Anarchists' friends were recallleg that Spies and farsons ha-l expresses a de?ire to have their bodies created, and a canvafs showed that many members of the Defense Committee were in favor of sending the remains to Cincinnati for that turpese.
