BIG ROW AT THE END. SECRETARY CARLISLE SPEAKS IN CHICAGO. Xree*Silver Advocates Create a Scene at the Meeting—They Fire a Volley of Questions at the Speaker—Police Take a Hand in Affairs. Carlisle at Chicago. Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle addressed an audience in the Chicago Auditorium for nearly two hours Wednesday night on the financial question. Gold was down on the program, and shad the platform. Silver was down on gold and had the fun. Altogether, says * correspondent, the address of the gold advocate was as, near a Harvey-Horr de&at* as the friends of the white metal could make it And it only wanted a little more warm blood aud a little less police to end In a row. Mr. Carlisle had held his long and ^ugust form in the vision of the people for two hours when the silver men began. iThen the lights went out and that ended the incipient debate. They began this way. Mr. Carlisle had just thanked the people for listening to him. Col. J. 0. Roberts, a prominent member of the People’s party and one of the editors of the National Bimetallist, who had stumped th* South for Mr. Carlisle in the days when the Secretary talked not of gold feet of silver, arose in his seat, and, in a ▼ole* that was heard above the din of

cheering and other noises, demanded the attention of the chairman, M. J. Carroll, who had called upon Secretary Grady to read a resolution thankkig Mr. Carlisle for having accepted the invitation of trade unionists to address them. "I desire to ask Mr. Carlisle,” said Col. Roberts, “to answer one question.” “Sh-h-h-h-h,” said the people, and Mr. Carlisle did not turn his retreating form. M. J. Carroll, who had not called for short words of testimony In closing, jumped up with the resolutions in his hand. “Whereas ” he began. “Why don’t you let the speaker answer the question,” shouted another man, rising in an excited little group. “Whereas ” “Mr. Chairman, why don’t you ” The “whereas” seemed to hare it and the resolution, which advised all the workingmen to read Mr. Carlisle's speech and voted him unlimited thanks, was read, although for the rising din it might as well have been Weyler's proclamation. The groups of silver men, who were intent upon asking the question, were noisy and belligerent. But two policemen had Col.'s Roberts in their eyes, and found him and conducted the Populist to the rear. Chairman Carroll finally managed to put the resolution, of thanks to a vote. There were thumdtrorra “yeas,” but the “noes” would haye carried any ordinary caucus. Little'whirlpools of turmoil were forming in different parts of the house, and the policemen were kept busy. The crowd, too, was moving homeward. “Hurrah for Eugene V. Debs, anyway,” yelled a silver man. This called forth a vigorous response. “Hurrah for John G. Carlisle,” shouted * gold man Tn the gallery. The “house” was plainly “gold.” By this time the police had circulated their rotund forms* quite thoroughly and the belligerents’were miieted. The question which They wanted to ask, and for which Col. Roberts rose, related to Carlisle’s speech in 1878, when he pronounced the demonetization of silver “the most gigantic crime of this or any other age,” which would “ultimately entail more

misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilence and famine that ever occurred in the history of the world." iThe silverites had fun earlier in the evening by distributing the following tribute to Mr. Carlisle, until the police stop--s>ed 'them: “John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, after a lifetime devoted td the free coinage of •liver at the ratio of 16 to 1, was suddenly converted in 1893 to the gold standard in order to secure a seat in Cleveland’s cabinet. “He now comes here, fresh from the banquet tables of the Wall street gold bugs, to tell the idle and starving workingmen of Chicago how they may be successfully robbed by the gold bugs for the next four years.” i Ui —rrw— —-— f: 1 a'. ■ -CC .: ificnttynf Chicago University Be-.

Grand Rush for Homes to Take Place on May 10. In an irregular rectangle in m >r ‘ hw ^ t ; ern Minnesota, with a length of 11miles and a breadth of iOO, with «• frontier of about 500, and containing 900,000 acres ready for settlement, is the great Bed Lake reservation, the last of the large northwestern Indian reservations. It is to be opened to the settler on May 15. Ihe entire reserve consists of about 4,000,wu acres, but much of it contains pine and will not be allowed for settlement, while more is to be reserved for the 1,500 Indians of the Red Lake Chippewas, and will not come into the market. until the band is wiped out or has become sufficiently civilised to take and improve allotments and cease to be the ward of the nation. The reservation is virgin territory, of meadow, oak openings, reclaimable bog, prairie and brush lands, an unbroken wilderness of plno and hardwood forest, of tamarack, cedar and spruce swamp, of muskeg and of lake, brook and river. Save the freighters’ roads to and from the trading post at the agency at the south shore of the lake, in the center of,the lands, and the marks of the surveyor's ax and scribe on section lines and ■corners, there are no signs of the intrusion of the white man on this the greatest hunting and fishing ground held for the northwestern Indians. Were it not for the prevalent industrial and financial depression there would be a rush to this promised land as great as was

that at the opening of the Oklahoma country, and as it is there is the greatest movement of people that the Northwest has ever seen. German and Scandinavian farmers are In the majority of Incomers. The States of lowa, Minnesota and Dakota have furnished the largest quota. Southern Michigan, the Dunkard colonies of Indiana, Nebraska, and even the New England States are looked on to be represented later by hundreds of colonists. The Red Lake lands are beautiful for situation, well watered by streams whose sources are In never-failing springs, while { ten to fifteen feet will tap the underground i veins in any part of the lands to be open-1 ed. There is no danger of drouth. There are no prettier locations for homes in al! the YY’est than on the streams that the Red Lake Indians have so zealously guarded for these many years, and are now about to give up. Around the streams and bordering the lakes is the timber 1 growth, which, next to the meadow grass, j will yield to the fortunate possessor the! most ample returns until the cleared land may produce crops. This timbered growth comprises all the woods common to the N.orth, poplar predominating, mid all in a thrifty condition. The timber is interspersed with hazel bushes, an unfailing sign of excellent soil. Several railroads are preparing to cross the lands in the near future, most of them running to the Lake Superior entrepot of Duluth, which will give the finest market in the Northwest to the grain and produce raised. Among these roads is the Farmers’ Railroad of the North Dakota agriculturists, under the lead of D. YY r . Hines. j The opening of this reservation will ] have widespread results. It Mill push the frontier into Canada; It will settle the vacant lands in northern Minnesota and make them tributary to the Mholesalers of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth; it will double the population of the sur rounding towns in a month; it will add 25,000 people to the census of Minnesota In the first year; it will infuse new blood and new life into the farming communities of the Northwest.

GEN. FITZHUGH LEE. Something of the Newly Appointed Consul General to Cuba. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the newly appointed consul general to Cuba, is a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee and served under the GEX. FITZHUGH LEI. great Confederate lender during the war of the rebellion. He was born in 1835 at Clermont, Fairfax County, Virginia, and was graduated from the military academy in 1856. Commissioned ns lieutenant in the Second cavalry, he went to the frontier, was severely wounded by the Indians and was recalled to be instructor of cavalry at West Point. When the war cams Lieut. Lee resigned his commission and joined the Confederate cause. At first he did staff duty and was adjutant general of Ewell's brigade. In September, 1861, he was made lieutenant colonel of the First Virginia cavalry and soon afterward was promoted to be colonel. He served in all the campaigns of the army of northern Virginia. In 1862 Lee wa« made a brigadier general and a major general in 1863. At Winchester, in 1864, he was disabled by a severe wound, which kept him from duty for several month*. In 1865 he was placed in command of th* whole cavalry corps of the army of northern Virginia, and a month later surrendered to Gen. Meade at Farmville and retired to his Virginia home. In ISGS he was elected Governor of Virginia. Gen. Leo goes to Cuba with absolute liberty to travel about wherever he pleases unobstructed and unrestricted by the Spaniards. Should the President desire any Information concerning the state of affair* in Cuba the new consul general will be ; a position to gather it. It is known that Gen. Leo, while being a fair man, warmly sympathizes with the insurgents. FARM WORK PROGRESSING. Weekly Reports of the Weather Bnrenii Covering Crop Prospects. The Weather Bureau, in summing up the situation in weather and crop circle*, says that in the Southern States the week has been generally favorable for farm work, which has made good progress. In the more Northern districts, owing to th* lateness of tiw season, farming operation* are much delayed, but are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Cotton planting is now quite general in the northern portion of the cotton belt, is well advanced in the southern portion, and th* early planted is coming up. In Florida, it is nearly finished. Winter wheat is reported in excellent condition in Nebraska and eastern Kansas, ami much improved and looking well in lowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and northern Illinois. Less favorable reports are received from Wisconsin, Michigan. Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Now York, in some of which State* it has been winter killed and is in poor condition. No corn has yet'been planted north of the Ohio river, but some planting has been done as far north as Kentucky and Virginin. West of the Mississippi some corn lias lieen planted ns far north as southern Nebraska, rianting is nearly completed in Oklahoma, ami is in progres* | in Missouri. In Illinois ami Imliana plow- ■ ing for corn is general. In the Southern States corn planting is practically completed. START A BLAND BOOM. Missouri Democrats Declare for Free Silver Coinage. R. I'.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE LESSON. Reflections of an Elevating Character -Wholesome Food for ThoughtStudying the Scriptural Lesson Intelligently and Profitably. Lesson for April 2G. — Golden Text.—Ye cannot serve Go<l and mammon.—Luke 16; 13. The Rieh Man and Lazarus is the lesson subject this week, and is found in Luke 16: 19-31. Great and grave truths are these, revealed in God s word. It is high time our pupils, and indeed all of us, were considering them. For it is very much an age of frivolity and indifferentism. There is needed the proclamation of some of the more startling and arresting doctrines of the divine word. Death and hell and an endless eternity should be laid with heavy stress upon the hearts and-consciences of ie men and women, the young also, of this generation, lest we lose all sense of reverence and all thought of the world to come. But along with it always speak as did Christ and his apostles, of God and his wondrous grace, the full salvation extended to lost and helpless sinners, doomed to endless woo. Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Some one has well said: “His feet may occasionally slip whose hand is placet! in God's hand, but he never quite falls.’’ Trust God. Lesson Hints, “There was a certain rich man.” A veritable case, it would seem. It is perhaps rightly insisted that this is not a parable, but an historical instance. But by the same reasoning neither is the story of the prodigal son a parable. Dives we often call him. It was not his real name, but the Latin for “rich man,” a translation of the two words. Whoever the original may have been, he has had many sac similes since his day. Dives is still with us, and Lazarus, too. Lazarus "was laid" at the rich man's gate. The word is literally cast or thrown ns a burden is deposited—a significant selection of language. The action of the verb is freqnentive. They were accustomed to drop the man at the rich man’s gate, to got his living the best he could. The desire to 1h? fed that is spoken of here is intense or unsatisfied desire. He was looking and longing, often doubtless having to satisfy himself with the sight and the wish. Same word as is used of the prodigal (15: 16), “would fain have filled.” “The crumbs” alluded to here are not necessarily of broad, ns the term signifies in our English usage, but of meat or any other edible. Fragments would N'tter render the Greek, the word l>eing simply the participle falling, i. e., the things that fell: cf. windfall. “Moreover the dogs came." ( Moro literally and graphically, "But only the dogs came.” Death, in a sense, associated these two, apart in life; aud in n sense death more widely separated them. Both died. Death smites us all alike. But one fell into the arms of angels, to be carried to Abraham’s l>osom; the other fell into the grave, to fall presently deeper still into the lake of tire. Uhe funeral of Dives was doubtless, to the eyes of earth, more splendid than that of Ijazarus. but picture in imagination that angelic train. “Hell” is here represented as l»oth a place and a state. As a place, it is "tar off" from the paradise of the just, though doubtless what is refernsl to here is that intermediate state which lies between this world and the next. Yet that even here there is a separation is clear from the words of Christ on the cross, "To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” But it is also represented ns a state or wndition, and this has the larger emphai sis. "In torments" tor anguish) is sufficient to indicate its wretchedness. What tire is to the body, such is the morse of hell to the impenitent at the last. That “great gulf fixed” should give us pause. It settles the question of a second probation. It fixes, determines the duty of the hour and the limits of acceptable choice. It is from the Greek word used here that our English chasm directly comes. This chasm is not to be bridged by hopes or speculations or peradventures. Wo are carriisl by God's angels of grace. The only thing that insures the passage of the gulf is faith in the bl,s»d of Christ. Thank Go.!, there is a chance for faith to-day. Hear, from that far world, teacher. U:e appeal of Dives. to his n iivo brethren” or n e. still on earth. One or two of these you may bo able to reach t • 1-iy in that class of yours. If th.' scriptures will not warn and win them, nothing will. 'lcaeh and trust. Illustrations. Get on right terms with God. It is better to be on right relations with the God of eternity than on easy terms with tire god of this world. He presently turns to rend; his wages is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Mr. Aitken, who has recently been conducting mission and revival services in New Y'ork and I’hiladelphia. ha< been laying solemn stress on Judas’ choice of the thirty pieces of silver. "Wh.it did it buy for him?" he asks. "What did it buy for him at the last?" And he answers with truth truthfulness, “A grave in the pauper’s field.” Death, death, it is all the world can give. “He that sows to (unto) his flesh shall of (out of) the flesh reap corruption.” (Gal. 6: 8.) It i>» all that the flesh can yield. Serve the flesh and take your wages. Nay, rather, serve God and receive the gift of God, which is eternal life through Jesus Christ, his Son. “The rieh man also died and was buried. That was all. It is the pitiful ending of many a self-centered, self-satisfied life. Riches could not alter it; the man died and that was the whole of it, and the end Os it. Next Lesson —“Faith.”—Luke 17: 5-19. What We Need. It is instructive to notice how each living thing takes from the sunbeam what it wants—one its aroma, another its color, a third its luscious taste. So should we extract from Christ whatever we require to complete our character. The short-tempered must takQ i patience; the passionate, purity; the icowardly, moral strength; the domipeering, patience; the downcast, comfort. We must not simply pray for them, but take them.—F. B. Meyer.

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN. The Mira C e Probably the Ori B in ol the Well-Known Sea Story. The atmosphere In the vicinity of the Cape of Good Hope has that peculiar power of unequal refraction which produces the spectral mirages so well known to the early settlers on the great plains and to all travelers and explorers In desert regions. This unequal blending of the rays of the light gives rise to whait are known as “spectral oomings,” by which is meant the apparent suspension of ships and other o jects in midair. The peculiar proper- । ties of the atmosphere over that por- । tion of Hie ocean mentioned ‘have been , known since men first “rounded the Cape” in their voyages from Western Europe to the Indies, and the regular appearance of the n ir ige at that point is responsible for the legend of the “Death Ship,” otherwise known as the “Flying Dutchman.”

According to the story, a Dutch cap- ' tain, homeward bound from the East Indies, met with long-continued bad weather while trying to “round the Cape.” Tills series of squalls was coupled with other circumstances which made “turning the Cape” next to impossible. The wind was “dead ahead” and the weather was dark and foggy. At the time when the brave little Dutch captain was making a final effort to get off in a northwesterly direction, and was about to make a failure of it, tihe mate and the sailors advised him to turn back and seek shelter in a neighboring harbor until the gale was over. But this he refused to do, swearing fnat he intended to ‘Hurn the Cape” if he had to beat back and forth along that shore until the day of judgment. For this burst of profanity, so the tradition says, he was doomed to steer against the blustery winds forever. The sails of his ship, so those who believe In the legend say, have become bleached with age, and its sides and bottom worm-eaten and decayed in the long struggle which has ever since been kept up between the cursed vessel and the elements. The little Dutch captain and his crew, like all persons living under a spell, continue to exist, knowing their condition but unable to help themselves. Ship captains who have sighted the doomed vessel time and again during the past century and a half report that the crew of the cursed Dutch vessel appear to be living skeletons. Yet they continue to live under the blighting effects of what was brought on by their master's rashness. They cannot lower a boat they are so weak. Yet they occasionally hail passing vessels, imploring to be rescued from their awful fate. Such is the story of the “Flying Dutchman,” which, no douM, originated through Ignorant, superstitious sailors viewing the mirage in awe-stricken terror.—St. Louis Republic. Anxious to Get Married. That romance is not entirely wanting even in royal marriagt s is shown by the pretty story which precedes the engagement of the King of Portugal. Prince Carlos, who was known at that time as the Duke of Braganza, was on Ihs way to Y enice to celebrate his betrothal to the Archduchess Marie Valerie, daughter of the Austrian Emperor, when, upon Ids arrival at Paris, i he received news that her imperial highness had changed her mind. The Prince was unwilling to return without a bride, and sought the advice of the Marquise de la Ferronay, an old friend of the family. Her ladyship showed him the picture of a young girl, who. she said, was rich, talented, and equal in rank. “I will have her. whoever she may be,” exelaimed Carlos. "Where can she be seen?'" “According to this morning's papers," replied the Marquise, “her royal highness, the Princess Amelie of Orleans, arrived yesterday in Nice.” Three days later the Duke and Princess met for the first time, am 1 shortly afterward their betroth'’-’ " a9 announced. Wilr^’l Them All. YVhen Agassiz was at Heidelberg, an insult to the Swiss elan of which he was the president was considered so serious amvng the students that a challenge was sent by Agassiz to the German club. The German students chose one of their best swordsmen to meet him Agassiz, however, would not accept such conditions, but said proudly: "Lt is not with one of you that I want to fight, but with all, one after another.” They marched to the chosen ground, and in a few minutes four German students had received sword cuts on their faces; then the others offered honorable peace aud made an apology. Gladstone's Working Hours. Mr. Gladstone gets to work at 10 in the morning and stops at lunch time. When the lunch gong sounds he lays down his pen. Though Mr. Gladstone does not get to his library until 10 o’clock, he begins his day’s work at 8 o’clock every morning, for he reads in bed while he is taking his breakfast—a luxury which until quite recently he has not allowed those about him to impose upon him. His eyesight is troubling him a great deal nowadays, and he cqnnot read as constantly as he would like. Jio Work of the Lord's. The Rev. Samuel E. Pearson, of Portland, Me., was a witness in a divorce case the other day. "Mr. Pearson,” asked the judge, “were you on this bench in my place and acquainted with all the circumstances of this case, would you grant this divorce?” “Most certainly, your honor,” replied the minister. “But how do you reconcile this statement with the injunction, ‘What God hath joined together let no man put asunder? ” “Your honor. I am satisfied that the Lord never joined this eouple,” replied the clergyman. Here is a piece of advice that most men heed: Let down your suspenders.

Charles Olliver. of Terre Haute, an employe of the \ andalia Railway Company, who was thought to have been a victim of n blackmailing adventuress, seems to illite been leading a dual life. Some time ttgo he made the acquaintance of a widow, and, it is said, represented to her that he was a single man. An engagement to marry was entered into and Olliver, it is alleged, took Mrs. Grimes' child from the Orphans’ asylum, saying he would find a home for it until they were married. He postponed the wedding day several times. A few days ago a neighbor of Mrs. Grimes saw the child playing in front of a house in another part of the city. It was not the locality where Olliver said he had placed it. and Mrs. Grimes went to the house. Then she learned that Olliver was married, and that he had taken the child to his own wife to be cared for. Olliver came home while the two women were talking and denied all that Mrs. Grimes said. He also denied it in ihe newspapers, and many persons believed him. He said he had adopted the child, and that he did not know Mrs. Grimes at the time. Then the woman swore out a warrant for his arrest and he pleaded guilty. _ . . ! No Sunday Ball at Indianapolis, For several weeks there has been considerable agitation of Sunday baseball by the ministers of Indianapolis, and communications have passeil bet ween them and Mayor Taggart and Sheriff Womack. The former did not think it his duty to interfere outside of the city and the latter declared that the police had jurisdiction within four miles of the city and i should prevent ball playing if it was at- • tempted. The Civic Federation then took the mattej' in hand, and Sheriff YVomack notified the officers that there should be no ball playing on Sunday. All Over the State. Knights of Pythias of Kenda*lvijie. have dedicated their new temple, the finest in the State. Goldie, the 3-year-old daughter of Isaac Howell, of Wabash, was fatally injured by a train. She was playing on the tracks near a curve. Bituminous coal ojierators of Indiana, at a meeting in Terre Haute, have appointed a committee with power to arrange a scale for the year. Albert Anderson, hailing from Detroit. Mich., has been sentenced to one year in the penitentiary from Muncie, for stealing clothing from a washerwoman's line. The ice dealers of Terre Haute, who carried on a war of prices last season, have agreed on an advance of 7.5 to l’H» per cent for this season, which means 40 an 1 50 cents a hundred for domestic use. Leo Hirth, a merchant at Indianapolis, was shot and killed by masked burglars in his house early Sunday morning. He and his wife were aroused by the meuts of the men.

Hallie Shafer was released from jail at " Muncie by Judge Koons, after being kept for three mouths on the charge of being illegally married. In January Miss Shafer, who’ is white and quite pretty, was married to James Walker, a negro. Each was placed in jail and have since been held. In his finding Judge Koons says the white or black woman who marries the opposite sex is not guilty of crime according to Indiana statutes, but that it is a felonious act on the part of the man. and YY alker will likely get a term in State prison.
