Tur Massachusetts legislature has abolished the venerable institution of fast day, and instead has made.the an.niversary of the battle of Lexington a “public holiday. .- | )

YAcHTING rather than racing bids fair to become the ‘‘sport of kings,” now that Emperor William, the prince of Wales, the czar and a number of German princelings have taken seriously to it. The three English royal yachts cost, taxpayers in repairs alone §90,000 last year. -

TuE state of New York has a brand new statute designed to restrain the pernicious activity of cats. Owners of cats are now required to take out license to permit the animals to live, and a cat which is not worth the license fee is adjudged unworthy of life by the New York legislature.

EXHAUSTIVE experiments in the cultivation of tea are soon to be madein Russia.

- THE smallest screw in.the world is that used in the movement of a watch; these are so minute that a box of them appears to be filled with fine black sand. With a strong glass, however, .they are seén to be perfect in every part, though only 4-1000 of an inch in diameter. A thimble will hold over 100,000 of them. e ° s

THOSE who took the trouble to kiss the alleged ‘‘Blarney stone,” in-the walls of/the-reproduction of Blarney castle, in the Midway plaisance, will be delighted to learn from an official report of Deputy Customs Collector J.

ORANGES are absurdly cheap in Florida now and part of the crop was not picked for-the market because of the small demand. ~The mechanies of northern cities are, in good times, large consumers of oranges, but this season hard times have made the fruit a luxury, and the rigid economy. of workingmen- has been disastrously felt all over the orange-growing regions of this countryv.

SoME idea of the number of New York men who get their clothes from London may be gathered from the fact that there are twenty-three agents of English tailoring houses now in that town. Most of the goods are brought into this country free of duty, and cost the wearer a little less than the same clothes made here. ‘All the big London houses have places in New York city where necessary alterations' are made free. ) ;

"THERE was a pathetic: scene in the Cleveland eriminal court, the other day, when Mrs. John Theu, .a German, came from Ashtabula to receive the sentence intended for her husband, who had pleaded guilty to petit larceny. The wife said John was hard at work now at goéd pay and she could best be spared to serve out the time. She was much disappointed, that the court did’ not agreee to-the arrangement. o

THERE was a singular boom in the matrimonial market in England last year, whether because of or despite the hard times is an interesting point for speculation. Thege were more people married there in Sle third quarter of last year than in any similiar quarter of the last ten. years, with the exception of 1891. The marriage ‘rate was highest in London where hard times were generally reported to bLe most felt. s : ' .

OBSERVANT doctors have been taking measurements of the height of women in France, England and America, and announce that tlie English woman is the tallest and the American next. The ayerage height of the French women s 5 feet 1 inch. The Americin woman is nearly two inches taller, and the women of Great Britain half an inch taller than .they. But American women weigh slightly more than either of the others, and it is said that their average weight is about 117 pounds.

DoxALD MURRY, a newspaper man of Sydney, New South Wales, has invented and patented a device by means of which an operator in New York, with a keyboard before him like that of an ordinary typewriter, can not only produce type-written copy in New Orleans, but it is claimed can operate a ‘v-e--setting machine here and deliv * hs matter thus in lead, ready for ..e forms. Not only that, but the same operator, by using a number of telegraph lines can set up the same copy simultaneously in a dozen places.

PRIDE in all things American may be stimulated in some circles to know that baseball, the leading outdoor sport of this country, is securing a decided foothold in England. A strong association ‘was formed in London recently with elegant grounds in the outskirts, and £ : the progress of the game during the season to come is expected to overshadow all-previous seasonsin this pars ticular. In a late issue the Pall Mall Budget devotes a ‘page to the game, and treats it as a growing. fixture among the sports of a people who lead in the number and diversified character of their forms of athleties- -

THE MARCH BEGUN. Coxey’'s Army Is On the Way to ‘Wasghington. ‘Nearly Two Hundred Men Fall Into Line Under Discouraging Circamstances ¢ —Scenes and Incidents Along : the Way. ! i IN MQTION AT LLAST. Caxrtox, O.,"March 27.—The muchheralded commonwealers are at last a moving reality. The motley proeession left Massillon Sunday morning nearly 200 strong and wormed its way between solid lines of spectaters 8 miles long, leaving Canton in the midst of a blinding snowstorm. The spectacle was indescribably grotesque. . They began gathering at Massillon early Saturday morning. Almost as soon as Quartermaster General Iler had dumped the worn and moth-eaten tents on the grounds of the gun club recruits for the army began to appear one by one, : ’ | The Great Unknown was promptly made marshal of the day. Under his directions the big canvas was finally pitched and the grqund inside littered with Coxey straw. The headquarters of the commonweal were established in a smaller tent, on the sides 6f which were inseriptions calculated to strike terror to the heart of the boldest recruit. The commissary wagons, filled to the tops of their white canvas covers, were trundled upon the ground and a crew of men set to work unleading them. All day long the crowds around the tents had Jbeen steadily growing. Every freight train that’ came in had its load of individuals, and scores:of them came down the towpath of the ‘canal or up from Canton on the turnpike. Some'of them had cdme from Kansas, Chicago and Indiana, but the majority came from places nearer Massillon. ' 2

All of the intended recruits did not come in at once. ‘A few camped on the hills outside of Massillon, a little in doubt as to Coxey’s plans, and .the campfires of others gleamed along the river. Indeed a pitecnfork used on any ‘of the straw stacks within miles of the city would have set a tramp to swearing. It was a cold night, and the men tumbled out early Sunday morning and ate their breakfast. Each man received a huge slice of ham, cooked on a spit, a cup of coffee and a big piece of bread. The tents were then taken down and loaded-into the wagons ready for the march.

_ At 11 o’clock the ‘“‘Commonwealth of Christ brass band,” J. J. Thayer, conductor, began to play a march from its position in the red, yellow, and black band wagon. The *“Humble Carl Browne,” who had added a delicate white lace mnecktie to his buckskin jacket and sombrero - costume, pranced out upon Coxey’s huge white stallion Currier. After much preliminary squabbling between the enthusiastic recruits over the positions of banner-bearer, the ‘Great Unknosvn shouted in a voice that could be heard a full half-mile: ‘“Everybody march!”’ The column moved and Coxey’s army was on its ‘way .to .Washing ton. Mr. Coxey rode in a phaeton and bowed right and left as he passed through the crowlls. Hugh O’Donnell, who was the leader of the Homestead strikers, was anothér prominent member of the cavalecade. Behind the band wagon marched therank and fileof the army. Banners to the number of twen-ty-five or thirty, with all sorts of mot-~ toes and allegorical pictures, were borne by the group of marshals. Pictures of Browne painted as Christ, with the words: ‘“‘Peace on earth, good will toward men, but death to interest on bonds,” attracted more attention than anything else. One of the new banners is a portyait of Coxey with the words: ‘‘Cerebrum of the Commonweal of Christ,” ~and another of Browne with the words: ‘‘Cerebellum of th Commonweal of Christ.”

When the column marched up the maln street of: Massillon, banners flying and band playing, it was cheered by thousands of people who had been coming into the city from all directions since early morning. There was some jeering, but the crowd seemed much too surprised for, fun-making. A large number of horsemen, carriages. and marchers followed the procession.. "All the small boys were tremendously excited. As the army passed people in the houses stooll at the windows and waved their handkerchiefs.

_Before arriving in Canton snow began to fall, but it did not drive away’ the great crowds of spectators who had gathered to watch the commonwealers’ triumphant entry. The tents were pitched near the fair grounds and the men built camp fires ;and cooked supper, after which: they found a bed in the big tent. They lay ‘‘spoon fashion” under the straw to keep warm. Following is an itinerary for the current week: : : , . Monday, March 26, reach Louisville, O.; Tuesday. March 27, reach Alliance, O.; Wednesday, March 28, reach Salem, O.; Thursday, March 29, reach Columbiana, O.; Friday, March 30, reach East Palestine. O.; Saturday, March 31, reach New Gallilee, O. . “““Not 1 per cent. of the people think I will ever get back to Massillon alive,” said Gen. Coxey Sunday, ‘‘but I have no fear. T shall go forward and do my duty regardless of consequences.” . A day with a temperature such as prevailed Sunday was enough to take the spunk out of old soldiers, but Coxey feels no fear for his army. ‘“‘They are traveling for a principle,” he declares, ‘and nothing will daunt them.” ;

Shortage May Be $lOO,OOO.

WAITE WAS WRONG.

The Colorado Governor Had No Right to : ' Call Out Troops. .

DENVER, C 01.,, March 27.—There was a large attendance at the rooms of -the supreme court Saturday to hear the opinion of the court on the question propounded by Gov. Waite involving the validity of his acts growing out of his removal of Orr and Martin as members of the fire and police board and the appointment of Barnes and Mullins in their stead. It was to seat the latter that the governor called out the militia. The unanimous opinion of the court was adverse to the action of the governor in all things except that the court recognized his right to remove and appoeint members of the board. It was declared that his power ended there, and that he could not induct his appointees into office, and his employ= ment of the militia for this purpose was greatly in error and unauthorized by law. :

‘A subcommittee of the committee of safety, headed by Joel F. Vaile, waited upon the governor in the evening and discussed the situation with him fully. Neither the governor nor the:committeemen would divulge the results of the interview, but it is known.that the committee advised the governor to abide by the decision of the courts, advising him that another resort to arms would not be tolerated. They assured him that Orr and Martin would not attempt to delay a decision by the courts in a suit brought to decide who are entitled to the offices. The governor would not promise that he would not again attempt forcibly to seat the new commissioners, but told the committee he would carefully consider their suggestions. S » Tha governor’s chief counsel, Platte Rogers, said proceedings would now be brought in court to compel Orr and Martin to show by what right they hold seats in the fire and police board. The committee of safety, already a formidable organization, is, in effect, a vigilance committee whose business it will be to attend to any individual or faction responsible for any riotous proceedings 'calculated to bring disgrace upon the state. DENVER, Col., March 27.—Judge Platt Rogers, counsel for Gov. Waite in the fire and police board controversy, announced positively Sunday night the governor had given his promise not to call out the militia again to unseat the removed commissiouners, Orr and Martin. The governor refuses to be interviewed. The lawyers have hit upon a new schems for installing Mullins and Barnes as fire and police commissioners without waiting for a decision of the courts in quo warranto proceedings. What their plan is they would not divulge, but it is proposed to carry it into ' effect early this week. As a preliminary, Mullins and Barnes will make a written demand upon Orr ‘and Martin to vacate under the opinion of the supreme court that the case as presented the former are legally entitledto the office. :

- FELL. FROM THE CLOUDS, A Balloon Ascension at Cannes Ends with 5 a Fatal Accident. CANNES, March 27. — An immense crowd gathered here Sunday to witness a balloon ascension by the deronaut Wilton, who is well known in America. No car was attached to the balloon and Wilton ascended hanging to a rope. When 1,500 feet high the balloon was caught in a current of air that carried it rapidly seaward. It was apparent that Wilton could not control the valve at the top :of the balloon, which, had it been’ppehed, would have allo wed the gas to escape and the balloon to gradually descend. For some unexplained reason the aeronaut let go his hold of the rope from which he was danglihg, and his body shot down into the sea with frightful velocity. The accident occurred in full view of the spectators, and a number of women in the ecrowd fainted away. . A number of pleasure boats hurriedly made their way to the place where Wilton had fallen, and after a short search his® body was- recovered. .His death must have been almost instantaneous. WARSHIPS HAVE LEFT RIG. Affairs in the Brazilian Capital Resuming ; . Their Normal Aspect. - { o Rlo JANEIRO, March 27. —Affairs here are rapidly resuming their normal aspect and, aside from the damage done to the forts and along the waterfront by the fire from the insurgents” warships, all traces of warefare have disappeared. S ‘The government entertains no fear of much further trouble in the south. The insurgents’ sympathizers claim that the placing of Admiral de Mello at the head of the provisional government will attract many persons to the rebel standard, but the government here believe that the insurgent forces will gradually melt away until nothing remains. :
