The Subscription Committee.
The Republican managers have agreed
upon a plan to secure money from covern
■nent employes without actually violating
the civil service law. They have appoint
ed a committee wholly unconnected with
either the National or the Congressional
Committee to receive what they call
voluntary contributions. Tne members
at this committee reside in Washington,
and are thoroughly familiar with the de
partments and the employes. Circulars
will be sent to all the government clerks
containing a request for a voluntary con
tribution. It is expected that each em
ploys will contribute about two per cent,
of hia annual income from the government.
In ls*2 Hu obeli, who was Chairman
of the Congressional Committee, kept a
black list, it is said, and ail who refused
to contribute were marked tor dismissal
at the first favorable opportunity. It is
hinted that the same plan is to be followed
this year. Tne employes will be scared
into making what are called voluntary
contributions, llather than run the risk of
losing their places they will contribute
all that is asked from them. This way of
robbing those ia the public serv ice is not
in keeping with the professions ot the
Republicans. In their national platform
there is a provision which speaks in the
strongest terms in favor of civil service
reform. Both Blaine aad Logan com
mend. in their letters ot acceptance,
the civil service law in strongest
terms. What must be thought of
a par tv and of party leaders who
say one thing and do another? The
formation of a spoils committee in
Washington indicates that the Republi
cans intend to violate the spirit, ii not the
letter, of the civil service law. . They
might as well employ canvassers to go
through the public buildings bullying,
haggling and intimidating, as to do what
they are doing. They are bound to have
m *ney. however, to carry on the cam
paign, and the only way to get anywhere
near as much as they need is by assessing
government officials. Republican politi
cians are not to be trusted. Republican
stump oraters and Republican newspa
pers may talk about toe deep interest
Blaine and Logan take in the civil service
law. but if the people want to know wbat
the- real sentiments of tbe Republican
lßders respecting civil service reform
are, they have only to watch the work of
the Washington Cash Committee.
Greely"* Success.
There is one fact connected with tbe
Greely expedition that is exciting atten
tion. It is that Greely’s entire party re
mained in the Arctic regions two years
without experiencing any inconvenience
or sickness worth mentioning as long as
they had plenty of food and comfortable
quarters. There was no suffering or loss
of life until the party, having abandoned
their station at Lady Franklin Bay in ac
cordance with the well understood pro
gramme arranged two years
before, reached Cape Sabine,
wnere they expected to find food.
There, the party oeing without proper
food and shelter, disease and death made
their appearance among them. Until
within a very few years the belief was
general that scurvy and other dreaded
diseases were incident to Arctic life. The
experience of the Greely party shows that
this belief is wholly unfounded. All the
members of the party lived about
as comfortably at Lady Franklin
Bav as do the people in Northern Dakota
during a severe winter. Lieut. Greely
was eminently successful in his under
taking, and accomplished all that he was
expected to accomplish. It is not im
probable that his experience, instead of
deterring others from attempting to pene
trate the mysteries of the far north, will
give an additional impetus to Arctic ex
plorations.
Englishmen IVntanilinjj Their
Rights.
The English House of Lords is a very
conservative body. It is altogether too
conservative for the masses of the Eng
lish people. There was a time when there
was a good deal of respect telt for it. Tne
respect lor it and for the aristocratic class
is on the decline. The English people de
mand an extension of their fran
chises. The House of Commons
is willing, but the House ol Lords says
no. The great demonstration in London
a day or two ago of the working classes
meant that the masses would not suffer
the peers to bar their way to additional
privileges much longer. Wherever the
right to vote is allowed in Europe
—in Germany, France, Italy—it
is enjoyed by double the percent, of the
population as in the British Islands.
Wnat do the English people want? Well,
they want the franchise bill passed,
wh?ch, in England. Wales and Scotland,
will increase the number of votes by 2.-
OOO.dYi. The number of votes now
is a little over 3.000,0. Of
course the i*eers oppose v the
bill. It is fall of danger to the exclusive
privileges whieh tbev have enjoyed. It
means that the people are beginning to
understand their rights and intend to
have them. It means that other conces
s:ons w ill lie demanded in the near future.
The peers must yield eventually. If they
are wise they will not wait to be forced.
Young William C. Rhinelander, who
shot Lawyer John Drake a couple of
weeks ago, in his New York office, is very
much wonied because his family are
having him examined for the purpose of
determining whether or not he is insane.
He doesn't want to be shut up in an asy
lum. but he does want to be tried for a
felonious assault’ on Drake. It is al
leged that the movement to
put him in an asylum has
for its object not only to get him clear of
the indictment found against him for
shooting Drake, but also to bring about a
seperation between him and his plebeian
wife. A New York paper relates that
several years ago another young man,
who is a scion of a branch of the Rhine
landers. married the beautiful daughter
of an humble but respectable New Jersey
farmer. Tbe fact that blue blood did not
course through the veins of the simple
and attractive country girl aroused
the ire of the young man’s rela
tives. He lived with the girl for some
months, but legal proceedings were insti
tuted. and the young man was sent to a
private asylum on the ground that be was
insane. Afterward influence was brought
to bear upon his wife, and she was in
duced to sue for divorce. In a few months
after that the young man was released,
his reason having returned as soon as he
was divorced from his plebeian wife. It
seems from this that it is no new thing
for Rhinelanders to marry poor but beau
tiful girls and to be shut up in an insane
asylum bv their relatives until their
plebeian wives are got rid ot.
It beeins to look as if the Congressional
Convention of this district intends to
occupy about as much time in nominat
ing a candidate for Congress as it took
the National Convention to nominate
candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent. There is no fault to be found with
it. however, on that account. There is
plenty of time before election,
and it doesn't make much difference
if it remains in session the
rest of this month. The weather
is delightful, and the delegates from other
counties, no doubt, find it as pleasant
here as they would at home. They can
visit Tybee or Montgomery every after
noon and refresh themselves for the fol
lowing day's work by taking a salt water
bath. The longer the nomination is de
layed the more likely it is to be generally
satisfactory. The convention helps to
liven up the town at this dull seon.
There is no imperative reason why it
should be in a hurrjsto get through with
its work. Let the balloting go on.
Even in Connecticut, the State of early
and late piety and blue laws, a man is
found once in a while who will fly in the
face of Providence. A farmer of Water
burr tried for five days to get a load of
hay into his barn, but was each time in
terrupted by rain. On the fifth day the
heaviest shower of the season fell just as
be bad begun to put the hay away. He
became furious, and as soon as the rain
oeaseu to fell he polled the wagon away
from the barn, lit a match, stack it under
the load, and converted hay, wagon, forks
and all into ashes. He then had leisure
in which to think over the silly thing he
had done.
Singing Prohibitionists.
A striking feature of the Prohibition
Convention nt Pitubnrg is the disposition
of the entire assemblage to lift up its
voice in song every once in a while. The
songs don't appear to be on the
programme. and yet they play
a very conspicuous part in the
proceedings. There are -K>l dele
gates. and the effect must be very
fine if there is a proper regard for time
arid tune. The purpose of the singing is
not clear. It may have an exhilarating ef
fect. In the Republican and Democratic
conventions the delegates, when they be
gan to feel weary, had recourse to the in
ebriating whisky; but this Pittsburg con
vention doesn't patronize saloons. Its
aim is to abolish saloons and the articles
in which they deal. It is not im
probable that the songs are introduced
to choke ff dull and pro6T speakers. It
is a well known fact that among the Pro
hibitionists there are a good many long
winded talkers. When they get started
it is a difficult matter to stop them. When
the convention is tired of a talker it is
much pleasanter to get rid of him by
starting a song than by hising
and stamping. Doubtless the sing
ing serves both of the above
mentioned purposes, and therefore is a
very good thing. The convention, how
ever, must be careful not to remain in
session so long as to exhaust its list of
songs. Unless the songs are good and the
rendition of tht-tn excellent they will not
bear many repetitions. Perhaps singing
will be introduced into the campaign.
Songs will be more effective than
speeches. If the Prohibitionists spend all
their campaign fund in hiring first-class
singers to sing prohibition songs through
the country, they can get up a perfect
furore of excitement and help their cause
wonderfully. What public speaker in the
country, for instance, could as large
crowds as ranker, the great revival sing
er? The Prohibitionists ougbt certainly
to inaugurate a singing campaign.
The truly loyal citizens of the village of
Farmington. Me., claim that it is the
birthplace of the Republican party. On
Aug. 7,1554, the conventions of tbe Whig,
Free Soil and Morrill Democratic parties
met there, and after conference through
committees appointed by each thsy united
and adopted the name of•• The Republi
can Party.” Resolutions were adopted
which declared “uncompromising hos
tility to the insolence and encroachments
of the slave power and eternal devotion
to the principles of temperance.” Can
didates for county offices were then se
lected. The news of the forming of the
new party spread rapidly through the
State and men flocked everywhere to its
standard. In the election that year in
Maine it swept everything before it. It is
now proposed to celebrate the thirtieth
anniversary of the event, and to hare
Blaine and other prominent Republicans
from all over the Union present. If these
patriots would only postpone their blow
out about three months they might have
the celebration and funeral of the grand
old party together, and so save time and
money.
George William Curtis has taken hi 9
revenge on the Stalwart R?publicans who

been generally understood that Phelps
reformed several months ago, but he mar
have gone back to his olddudish ways
since Congress adjourned.

DEATH CLOUDS AN ELOPEMENT.
A Husband While Banning Away With
His Former Wife Accidentally Kills a
Man.
Maggie Brooks Stultz, says a Louisville
special of July 21 to the New York florid,
had obtained a divorce trom her husband,
Joseph H. Stultz, a professional gambler,
and was living at the house of her mother
with her only child. After the divorce
had been obtained the husband made ef
forts to bring about a reconciliation. She
seemed inclined to yield to his entreaties,
but her mother strongly opposed a reunion.
Secret meetings were held, however, be
tween the divorced husband and wife, and
she finallv consented to marry him again.
It was decided that she should elope with
him and take with her their child. At 12
o'clock last night Stultz was driven in a
carriage to within a few doors of his
mother-in-law’s house. The wife was in
waiting, with her child in her arms, and
as soon as she heard the sound of the car
riage wheels hastened from the bouse and
was received bv her waiting husband.
Before entering the carriage she handed
to him a revolver which belonged to her
mother and which she bad taken with her
lest the mother should be tempted to use
it when she would discover the elope
ment. Stultz, on receiving the revolver,
handed it to the driver of the carriage,
Jack Nagle. At the moment of receiving
the weapon it was accidentally dis
charged and a bullet entered Nagle’s left
breast and instantly killed him. Stultz
mounted the box while his wife and child
entered the carriage. With one hand sap
porting the dead man he drove to police
headquarters, where be surrendered him
self. He was locked up to await an in
quest, and the wife, to whom he had just
been reunited, was forced to leave him
again.
Mrs. Stnltz’s mother has testified that
Nagle was shot before he reached her
house, and that Stultz's story of the acci
dental killing was not true.
TWO HOMES CIjOSKII TO HER.
A Deserted Wife Sued for Board by Her
Father— from a Trip to the
Country to Find Her Apartments Dis
mantled and Desolate.
,V Tort Jfonitia Journal.
In the balmy spring of 1875 Wm. Camp
bell, the dashing, wealthy wail paper
manufacturer of No. 511 West Forty-first
street, first met pretty, petite Mary
Churchill, a blushing maid of 19 summers,
the daughter of parents who were not so
well circumstanced, as the world's goods
go, as himself. On his part it was a case
of love at first sight, and he lavished on
her the costliest presents that his ample
wealth could command. Drives in the
Park and excursions to the Branch and
Coney Island facilitated the love making,
and his bliss was complete when, on June
H. the t wain stood under the floral mar
riage bell and were made one.
The honeymoon was spent in a trip to
Niagara. Lake George, Saratoga, and then
the happy couple settled down to the
sober realities of married life in an ele
gant’.v furnished house in West Sixteenth
street. During the following winter the
receptions of Mrs. Campbell were the
most select affairs of that exclusive locali
ty. and eongratulationscame to the young
and apparently happy couple. To the
world they were still all and all to each
other, but inmnate friends noticed a con
straint between the couple from which
they predicted that a storm was brewing.
i/uarrels became frequent and were fol
lowed by reconciliations and promises of
forgetfulness of their past, but it became
evident to the still young and attractive
wife teat her husband had outlived his
early affection. Her health became deli
cate and her physicians advised a change
of climate and a warmer latitude. She
broached the subject of a Southern trip,
to which her husband seemed to consent,
and she made a trip to the country to bid
adieu to friends and advise them of her
plans.
When she returned she found the Six
teenth street house dismantled. This she
recognized as an additional act of perse
cution on the part of her husband. Noth
ing was left her of all the luxuries which
had been her boast. Furniture, paintings,
horses, carriages, everything was gone.
She again sought him and by her win
ning wavs revived the old love so that he
begged forgiveness and consented to ae
company her on her Southern trip. Sae
thought’ that her William, away from in
fluences that drew him from her. would
again be the loving, kind husband of old.
They reached Savannah and there, after
a fresh outbreak.caused by insane jealousy
on his part, he abandoned her among
strangers. This last act of perfidy tore
from her heart the last vestige of love,
and resorting to the courts she sued him
for abandonment and alimony under the
laws of Georgia.
She was awarded $5O per month ali
mony and returned to New York to find
anew persecutor in her own tatter,
Aaron L. Churchill, who sued her for a
board bill of $3OO contracted while living
apart from her husband after be had taken
all her household furniture and property.
To satisfv his claim the father went so
tar as to attach her alimony found in the
hands of her attorneys, and ihev were
constrained to withhold the amount of
the judgment from her pending the suit
for divorce against her husband, in which
she lays her damages at $25,000, and she
has also sued him for $16,000, the value
of the furniture of the house which he
removed, and which she elaims as her
property.
In the suits pending her husband seeks
to debar her from prosecuting in the New
York courts on the ground of being a non
resident, which he supports by the
facts that her health compels her to spend
the winters in Savannah or Jacksonville
and the summers at the Northern water
ing places.
She is now supporting herself on the
alimony paid her by her husband under
the order of the courts, and yesterday the
case came before Judge Ingraham on the
action against her husband for the con
version of her property and to allow her
to prosecute as a resident of New York.
Ills Honor reserved his decision.
JUDAH P. BENJAMIN'S WILE.
A Model Testament Drawn by the
Famous Lawyer.
The will of the late Judah P. Benjamin,
one of the ablest jurists of his time, has
just been admitted to probate in Loudon.
It is a model of concise statement, and
may afford a hint to those desirous of
similiar forms.
•■This is the will of me, Judah Philip
Benjamin of Lincoln's Inn, Barrister-at
law.” and it then proceeds to give legacies
to three sisters residing at New Orleans,
to one nephew and live nieces, the chil
dren of his sister and a deceased brother,
and to his brother Joseph Benjamin,
residing at Puerto Cortez, Spanish
Honduras, and continues: “I nomi
nate and appoint my two good friends.
John George Witt ’ and Lindsey Mid
dleton Aspland, barristers-at-la’w, the
executors of this my will, and I bequeath
to each of them if he shall consent to act
under this appointment 100 guineas.”
Then follows a bequest of £l,OOO "to my
dear wife Nathalie Benjamin,” and a di
rection that ‘*the legacies be paid free of
legacy duty, and as promptly as possible
after my decease, and that so much of my
personal property as may be necessary for
that purpose be sold and the proceeds ap
plied to such payments.”
The rest of the will is as follows:
‘•I give, bequeath and devise all the rest
and residue of my estate, real and per
sonal, and wherever situated, to my said
dear wife Nathalie and to our only child
Ninette, wife of Capt. nenri de Bou
6ignac. now Captain in the 117th Regi
ment of the line of the French army. If
either my said wife or my said daughter
should die before me, the survivor is "to be
my sole residuary devisee and legatee. I
have no real estate in England, but I have
in France the family mansion or hotel
at No. 41 Avenue d’Lena, Paris, in which
1 have resided since my withdrawal from
the bar, and in which I contemplate
residing the rest ol my life. I wish my
executors to sell at" once so much
of my personal assets, such as shares,
stock’ and debentures, as will suffice to
pay not only the legacies aforesaid, but
all duties and administration expenses,
and to deliver the remainder to my said
residuary legatees or legatee. Written
and signed bv me on this 30th day of
April, A. D’., ISS3.
"J. P. Bexjamix.
‘•The signature of the testator, J. P.
Benjamin, was written and acknowledged
by him in our presence and the presence
of each other at the same time, and we
sign and attest this will on this 30th day
of April, A. D., IS*3, in the presence of
the said J. P. Benjamin, testator. Ber

AX EXCITING BEACH SCENE.
How an Injured Wife Interfered With
Her Becreant Husband's Dip in the
Sea.
Among the bathers in the surf near the
foot of Georgia avenue to-day, says an At
lantic City special of the 22d instant to
the Philadelphia Puts*, was a lanky man.
noticeable for his unusual height aDd
wearing a bathing suit that flapped its
folds around his spare and bony form as
a flag might curl itself around a pole. He
was accompanied by a remarkably
pretty woman of 23 or 24 years of
age, ' whose bright blonde tresses
hung loosely over her shapely shoul
ders. and who approached the breakers
with 6uch a show of trepidation that the
spectators laughed at her and
concluded that she was a rural who
was taking a dip in the ocean for first
time in her life. The man was. at least,
15 years her senior, but be kicked his long
shanks about with the hilarious joy of a
boy. and sought every opportunity to clasp
the hands and waist of his companion.
While<bev were splashing in the water
they were approached by a very fat wo
man. with her waist under her arms, who,
without a word of warning, brought a
heavy hand down fall on the back of the
pretty bather, and followed up her attack
with another and others that struck the
face, neck and breast, and caused her to
scream with fright and astonishment. In
a moment, however, the blonde recovered
her senses and a pitched battle ensued,
and there was a halo of flying arms and
disheveled hair for lully five minutes. The
man was too dumbfounded to be of much
assistance, and the little effort that he did
make to disengage the fighters was re
warded by a slap in the face from the cor
pulent female with a hand like a ham.
When the young woman with the golden
hair fled from her combatant her face was
scratched and her clothing torn half way
down the back. She made directly to r
the bath-house, two squares further up
the beach. Then the other female devoted
her attention to the man, who was begin
ning to look very sheepish as the crowd
gathered about him and listened to the
emphatic abuse of the now well aroused
and excited woman.
“Joe Somers, you’re a beast, that’s what
you are, and I'll—”
“Oh, shut up, can’t yon ? Come away
from here and I’ll talk this whole thing
over,” be interposed. “You’re wrong—
dead wrong, I tell you—”
“Ob, don’t you try to lie out of it. I’ve
caught you and you can’t fool me again.
I’ve been playing fool long enough.”
“Say, now, can’t you keep quiet? I'll
explain the thing to you if you’ll come
away,” he said as he edged out of the
nngtbe crowd had formed. She did go
with him, but he slipped her at the bath
house, and half an hour later she was in
quiring of a policeman whether a tall man
and a blonde creature had been seen to
geiher coming from the bath-house.
Joe Somers’ pretty companion is one of
the most notorious women here, who,
with another woman, is gaining a livli
hood by securing lambs for a gambling
bouse. Mr. and Mrs. Somers are repre
sented as being Horn Frankford.
