Occupation for Mr. Bayard.
It begins to look as if Central Ameri
can complications would soon demand
considerable attention from Secretary
Bayard. Notwithstan ling the threatened
interference of Mexico Barrios seems de
termined to carry into effect his scheme
to bring all the Central American States
one government. He apiiears to
bs pretty well prepared to do What he has
undertaken. The latest report is that be
ha* 20,000 uien. well officered and well
equipped, and that he is about
ready to invade San Salvador. Of
course that State is not capable or suc
cessfully resisting him, and unless the
other States which are opposed to him
come to its relief at once, he may find
little difficulty in overcoming all the op
position it can offer.
It may be the plan of Barrios to attack
the 9'ateß one after another before they
can settle upon any plan for united action.
H* might find it very easy to
succeed by tactics of that kind, although
*t might be difficult, If not impossible, for
him to carry his scheme to a successful
issue if be should wait until the States
had formed a plan for harmonious and
united action.
There appears to be 6ome doubt now
whether Honduras will render Barrios
any aid. It seems that a formidable op
position party has sprung up in that
State to Barrios’ scheme, and it may be
come sufficiently strong to hold those who
tavor Ilirrios in check.
It will take Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
San Salvador quite a while to perfect
military arrangements to oppose Barrios’
alvance. If they do not push forvard
their preparations rapidly their efforts in
the direction of an alliance may prove
fruitless.
It is not clear yet what course Mexico
will pursue. \Vben Barrios first an
nounced himself as President of all
Central America, Mexico gave encourage
ment to the opposition that at once de
veloped in San Salvador and other States.
It was said that Mexico was afraid that
if Barrios was successful he would at
tempt to enlarge his territory by annex
iag soma of the Mexican States.
It i9 now said, however, that Mexico’s
purpose is to annex one or more of the
Central American States. Of course it
is impossible to determine what the rea
-B>n* are that are Influencing Mexico.
If she intends to take part in Central
American complications with the hope of
g?tting a slice of Central American terri
tory it is a question w’hetber this country
will not interfere to prevent her. The
pdicy which Secretary Bayard outlined
in his note to the Senate tor this country
t pursue was that of non-iuterference.
B it if this government does not interfere
in the Central American trouble will it
a’!o v Mexico to Interfere t It is probable
that when this question presents itself it
will lie a lswered in the liegatl e.
A few years ago when Mexico showed
a disposition to take a part of the terr!-
ritory of Central America this country,
through its Minister to Mexico,
hinted in a quiet way that such
an act might bh dangerous, because it
might be an example that daring men in
this country would follow with respect to
s -me of the States of North Mexico. The
hint was understood, and the contem
plated raid on Central American territo
ry was abandoned. The course of this
country will be watched with interest if
Mexico lends assistance to the States op
posing Barrios.
Miss Van Zamlt’s Persecutors.
A tew months ago an American lady
who had just risen to th 9 front rank of
her profession us an opera singer ap
p?areJ on the stage in Paris. One night
while singing she became suddenly ill,
an 1 was unable to conceal her suffering.
Some evil-minded persons circulated the
story that she was intoxicated, and the
s nsational reporters published scandal
ous articles about her iu several of the
citv papers.
Being a young woman of extraordinary
pluck, she refused to submit to the out
rares. An investigation was made, which
vindicated her to the complete satisfac
tion or the best people of the great city,
an 1 she bec .ine the heroine of the day.
5 ime of the journals which had published
the scandal hastened to do her justice, but
ot iers refused to do so, and they were
sued by Miss Van Zmelt’s manager, in
order to make her vindication complete,
legally as well as morally.
Last week the cantatrice returned to
Paris to HU an engagement in the Opera
Comique. Remembering the wanton in
jury which had been done her the better
class of opora-goers in the city gave her
ea 'h night a perfect ovation. Bit her
negotiant enemies were also on hand,
with a large and well organized and
equipped corps of claquers, and desperate
efforts were made to hiss her off the stage.
The brave woman stood the ordeal with
scarcely a tremor iu her voice, aod each
night as the miscreants added insult to
the former Injury they had done her she
sang her part, and was rewarded by her
hundreds of admirers, whose applause
drowned the hisses of her persecutors.
Being baffled night after night a grand
demonstration was made by tno reporters,
aided by students and hoodlums, on
Thursday night. It is estimated that
10.000 rioters were gathered together to
abuse one American woman, and they
were only prevented from raiding the
theatre by the determined resistance of a
Urge body of armed guards and police.
Miss Van /.an(lt was greeted, however, by
an immense audience of the best people
in Paris, and every attempt to humiliate
her was promptly silenced by cheers.
Wearied by the persistence of her ene
mies, sue has determined to quit Paris,
and has broken her engagement with her
manager. Justice demands that the ring
leaders of the demonstrations bo severely
punished. Only a little over a year ago
France and Spain were on the eve of war
because the Spanish King was Insulted
by au Irresponsible mob in the streets of
Paris. Miss Van Zandt, as an American
citizen, is entitled to the same protection
from a foreign power as if she were a
queen. In fact, she is a queen—of song.
Early in the Presidential campaign last
year the New York Sun said: “Turn the
rascals out,’’ and newspapers all over the
country said: ‘'Yes, turn the rascals
out.” A correspondent a day or two ago
asked the Sun the following question:
When you originated the remark
“Turn the rascals out” did you mean to
applv it t) all persons holding govern
ment places?
The Sun . assuming that the correspond,
ent had become somewhat confused by
what te now saw in the papers, answered
as follows:
It was mount to apply to every rascal
and plunderer connected with the govern
ment who could not be removed under
Republican administration. But turning
the rascals out was not the only object for
which the Democracy has stiuggled for
the :t twenty years. The mam purpose
was to take the* control of the govern
ment away from the Republicans and put
it In the bands of Democrats. That is a
much more comprehensive Idea than
merely to turn out the dishonest emplojes
of the admioistration and put honest men
in their places. It is mach more far-reach.
ing in its effects and requires a vastly
greater change.
Not oulv should thieves and plunderers
go. but all posts of power and responsi
bility should be filled by members of the
successful party who are in sympathy
with iu purposes and desire its welfare.
Complaints are made that the use of the
good, old-tashioned switch has been re
vived in some of the New York public
schools. The youngsters of that city have
been so long thought too good to be pun
ished for misbehaving in school that this
going back to first principles is considered
outrageous. The New Yorkers have ap
parently forgotten the olu proverb about
sparing the rod and spoiling the child.
Robert P. Clayton, United States Consul
at Para, Brazil, sends home a twig and
leaves of the Brazilian gold leaf tree
which are described as perfect gems of

vegetable kingdom. They are the color

of the finest quality of satin, one side of
the leaf being a shade darker than the op
posite side.

Pearson and the Mugwumps.
Postmaster Pearson, of New York, is a
very important individual in the estima
tion of the Mugwumps. They are mak
ing extraordinary efforts to have him re
appointed. The Mugwump Journals
proclaim his merits day after day, and
distinguished Mugwumps journey to
Washington in his interest. Henry
Ward Beecher, Carl 9churz and Editor
Godkin have talked with the President
about him and insisted that the success of
civil service reform depended upon his
reappointment. The Mugwumps are even
trying to make it appear that England is
stirred up about the matter, and is deeply
interested in having him continued in
charge ot the New York post office. The
New York Times on Saturday had
a half column dispatch from
London containing expressions
of opinion by English post office officials
respecting Mr. Pearson's fitness for the
place which he occupies. One of these
officials says that he considers Mr. Pearson
“literally perfect,” and marvels that there
can be for an instant a question of dis
pensing with his inestimable services.
Evidently there is a determination to
make the President decide, in the New
York post office case, whether or not he
intends to recognize the services which
the Mugwumps rendered at the late elec
tion. Mr. Pearson is a Republican and
supported Blaine. He isn’t a Mugwump,
but the Mugwumps are willing to accept
his reappointment as a concession to
them. •
The New York post office is one of the
best offices in the gift of the President.
Mr. Pearson's term has expired. Neither
the civil service law nor the civil service
rules would be violated if he were not re
appointed. There are Democrats who
would fill the New York post office as
satisfactorily as Mr. Pearson has filled it.
The Mugwumps have no claim on the
administration. They supported Mr.
Cleveland because they hated Mr. Blaine,
and not because they desired ths suc
cess of the Democratic party. There is no
reason, therefore, wrhy Mr. Pearson should
be reappointed, usless it can be shown
that no Democrat can be tound who is
capable of tilling the office as well as Mr.
Pearson fills it. The Mugwumps ought
to be satisfied if the occupants of the
minor offices are not removed. To ask
the reappointment of Republicans whose
terms have expired Is asking too much.

When Hnmboldt visited the City of Mexico
he recorded the depth of Lake Texcoeo at
sixteen feet and ten inches. To-day its great

scientitie observations show that the bottom
of the lake is tisiug at the rate ot oneandone
half inches annually. Its bottom i* now but
nine feet below the level of the principal
streets of the capital, and at this rate, unless
the lake 1* drained, It is shown that before
many years the City of Mexico will be perma
nently ui<d r water. The sewage of the city
is now drained into the lake, which, in sum
mer, i* not more than three feet lower than
the tiottom of the main sewers, while in the
rainy season ihe rise of the water in the lake
causes the immediate backset of all sewage.
It is no wonder that Mexico’s death rate is
high. No efforts are being made to drain

Uriah Dodge, the keeper of the Block Island
lighthouse, swallowed a boy's jackstonc,
which Is of iron about an inch and three
quarters in diameter, with six points. Th*
parents used every means at rotamand on
the inland to relieve the little oue’s suffering.
At leagtb the child was taken t* Providence,
and there placed in charge of emiuant sur
geons. They determined to push the jack
stone down into the stomach, but it was ap
prehended that in doiug so the windpipe
might bo closed, and iu that c*se they were
ready to perform tho operation known as
t r acheotoni v. A* soon as the jackstono was
pu-hed a little the windpipe was closed, and
urealli't g was shut off- In a moment one of
the surgeons made an inris on and intro
duced a lube into the windpipe, and the child
breathed *gi*. The jackstono was then
stfelv pushed into the stomach. Two days
aftt rit passed off, aud the child is now doing
well.
Di ke Charles ok Brunswick, who died
in 1874, "the most despicable figure iu the
mo=t scandalous chronicles ot our times,” is
the subject of a most readable paper in the
last number of Tempts Bar. A visit to the
Diamond Duke's famous hotel in the Champa
Ely sees must linvc been, to say the least of it,
exciting. A soring was touched, an armchair
presented iteelf, and the cellar wa; whirled
round and up into tho ducal ante-chamber.
This and the bedchamber were of solid iron;
the very bed was iron. A minute vio’et
shaped aperture in the wall was the keyhole
of the recess where the Duke's stronghold,
containing precious deeds and documents,
hung over a well many yards deeper ihan tho
firjt foundations of the hotel. The cellars
were strongholds like those of the Bank of
France. There wore iron canes, crammed
with guineas, coffers ttD’-ouched since Water
loo, containing gold pieces of eight genera
tions of Dukes, and there were thousands of
ten-thaler piece; wh ch had never been put
into circulation. He kept no kitchen, for a
cook was necessarily a poisoner, in his eyes,
tie mixed bis molding chocolate himself; his
milk was brought from suburban farms in a
sealed silver can. He left his ccil'ions to Ge

DICK TURPIN AT DAYTONA.
A Bold Burglar YVhu. Beat a Hotel and
Successfully Ran the Gauntlet Under
Fire.
One of the boldest of burglaries took
place at Daytona last Saturday night, as
Ithe Jacksonville '1 imes-Union learns
from Capt. D. O. Balcom, who arrived in
the city Thursday morning. It seems
that about a week or ten days ago a man
on horseback arrived at Daytona and
registered at the Palmetto House as John
Burton, of Orlando, Fia. He stayed until
Saturday noon, when he paid his bill and
rode away. He was seen at the junction
of the Port Orange and Enterprise road,
about five miles awav from Daytona, late
that afternoon.
During Saturday night, while a heavy
thunder storm was passing over Daytona,
the bedrooms of three of the guests at the
Palmetto House were entered and money
and valuables amounting to considerably
more than SI,OOO were stolen. When the
robbery was discovered, between 7 and 8
o’clock Sunday morning, suspicion at
once rested upon thi9 man. A search was
made about the premises at once, and it
was discovered that a horse had been tied
out near the hotel stable and the tracks
were similar to those of the animal ridden
by Burtou. This animal had been tied
out during the storm and was ridden
away after the storm was over, being
tracked a half mile.south, on the Port
Orange road.
A warrant was at once sworn out be
fore Justice Huston, aud Capt. Dotfulass
accompanied Constable Cox ou the chase
to capture the thief.
THEY FOUND lIIM
at ths house of an old settler on Trumbull
Bav, about fifteen miles south of Daytona,
about 3 o’clock that alternoon, having
just eaten his dinner. They arrested him
and carried him back to Daytona. On
searching him they found two fine re
volvers loaded, a bowie-knife, some bur
glar’s implements, about sixty dollars in
money, and a large number of small
trinkets, etc. They found on him, how
ever, nothing that any one of the guests
at the hotel could positively identity, a’-
though he had ninety two-cent postage
stamps, and ten postage stamps without
mucilage on them, and one ot the guests
had lost ninety and another had lost ten
stamps without mucilage on them.
The horse he rode was shod on both
fore feet and unshod oa the hind teet. One
ot the htnd feet made a peculiar track,
which corresponded exactly with the
track made by the horse which had been
tied out the night before. The Justice,
theretore, held him in SSOO bail, and de
tailed four nteu to guard hint through
Sundav night, intending to send him to
Enterprise, the county seat, Monday
morning.
He was placed In the second story of a
large building, with his four guards. Be
twoen 3 and 4 o’clock Monday morning
he made a dash for the lamp, knocked it
over with his hat, kicked over a chair,
and in the total darkness and confusion,
HE MADE HIS ESCAPE.
As soon as the four guards got another
lamp and were looking about for their
prisoner, he had made his way to the
stable, saddled his horse and had led him
out past the stable door to near the place
where the horse had been hitched the
Saturday night before. They came upon
him while he was trying to adjust the
bridle, and firc-d at hint yyith a shot
gun, when he left the horse and ran into
the woods.
During the entire day Monday many of
the citizens of Daytona turned out(to hunt
him. No trace of hint was found until
about dark, when, having stolen another
saddle, he entered the stable of a citizen,
had stolen a horse therefrom, and was
just in the act of leading him out when
two of the citizens met him at the stable
door. Another dash into the woods, fol
lowed by an ineffectual shot, ensued.
Within the hour, however, )>e was at
Holly Hill, about three miles away, and
succeeded in getting away with a horse,
saddle and Drill e of Mr. Carter, who, by
the way, is a newspaper man, being asso
ciate editor of the Halifax Journal.
This horse he rode to Urmoud, six miles
further north, and there he exchanged it
for a fresh animal from Mrs. Penfield’s
stable, still retaining Carter’s saddle.
The horse he took is the same as that
stolen by the man who oonimitted murder
and tried to escape some time last year at
Ormond.
He then took the road leading west to
Volusia. Meanwhile, his movements be
ing anticipated, guards were sent to the
various bridges leading west. On reach
ing Tirnoka river, about miduight, he
found two men stationed at each end of
the bridge, and each man armed with a
double-barreled shotgun. Leaning for
ward he made a dash across the bridge
and was fired at by all four men in his
flight, apparently without effect, for as he
rode away he sang out for them to shoot
again, as they bad failed yet to hit him.
Another exchange of horses was made
before he reached Volusia, where he ar
rived about daylight Tuesday morning.
Here he turned the stolen horse loose, and
taking Carter’s saddle with him stole a
boat apd passed over into Orange county.
This was the last trace of him up to the
time Capt. Balcom left Volusia.
In appearance Burton is about five feet
four inches high, broad-shouldered, solidly
built, dark-brown hair, inclined to cur),
moustache dark hut not heavy, eves blue
and clear, rather near together. There is
a cow-lick over each temple, lie is about
3o years ol age, and would pass for a
good-looking man.

Mrs. Manning is so far the queen bee
in the new Cabinet, says a Washington
letter. She is a bride, although not a
very young woman, and brought to Mr.
Manning some wealth and a social posi
tion. She is tall, with a slender, graceful
figure, has good features, light brown hair,
and great animation and grace of man
ner. Asa thorough society woman and
wholly equal to the demands of her posi
tion Mrs. Manning will soon be the best
known and popular of the new
coterie. Mrs. Vilas received with Mrs.
Manning at the Arlington yesterday, and
this quiet, graceful little woman, who
made the acquaintance of society last
week while the guest of Mrs. Leiter, has
won great favor already. Mrs. Vilas
goes back to Wisconsin in a few days and
will not bring her cbildred on and regu
larly establish herself in a house until
fall. Mrs. Endicott, wife of the new War
Secretary, was also at home at the Ar

a typical Massachusetts woman; a cool,
clear-headed, energetic Yankee, whose
blood is the bluest of any in the great
commonwealth. Mrs. Endicott is tall
and sparely built. Her features are clear
cut aud decided, and with her dark eyes
she has a crown of gray hair, that was
