ERIN’S HOME RULE FIGHT
SIR HICKB-BKACH ADDRESSES
THE BRISTOL electors.
fquallutlon of Political Prlvlleqei and
Disabilities Advocated—Supremacy of
the Imperial Parliament Demanded at
All Hazard*—Childers Advocate* an
Elective Irish Parliament to Deal With
.strictly IrUU Affairs,
London, June 20.—Sir Michael Hicks-
Beaeh addressed the electors of Bristol
yesterday. He said the government
schemes would be dishonorable to Great
Britain and disastrous to Ireland and
must lead to separation or civil war.
The lights of Ireland in regard to gov
ernment were neither more nor less
than those of Great Britain.
“We ought,” he continued, “to
equalize as far as possible political
privileges and disabilities througnout the
kingdom, for which object the imperial
Parliament should be in Ireland as well
as in Great Britain supreme. In practice
and in theory under the union ireland has
full representation and accruing influ
ence.
INTIMIDATION DENOUNCED.
“Political organizations cannot be per
mitted to seek their ends through intimi
dation backed by outrage and orime. The
prevention of this is not coercion, but
vindication of constitutional freedom.
The political instincts ot Ireland cannot
be satisiied by plans for depuving her
sons ol a full share in the government or
the empire. Concessions would only pro
mote further disintegration. In such a
crisis old dividing party Hues ought to be
lorgotten and one great effort made to
preserve the unity upon which depends
the strength of tbo empire.”
GLADSTONE CHEERED.
Asa result of the Saturday incident the
police to-day counselled Mr.Gladstone to
drive to church, notwithstanding the
Scotch antipathy to driving on Sunday.
The carriage was accompanied by crowds,
and upon returning to the hotel ho was
even cheered. “Eh. men,” said an on
looker, "they’re cheering on Sunday.”
The News says: “Mr. Chamberlain's
speech Saturday, though we may attach
overmuch significant:.- to it. Indicates
that be may be found supporting the bill
when it appears in the autumn.” The
News uiges Sir. Chamberlain
on tbo ground that bis present
action is tending to elevate Lord Salis
bury, if be really desires to reunite tho
Liberals to assist the Gladstomans in the
present struggle. By so doing he would
be in a position to assist in moulding a
new bill according to his wishes. Com
menting on the Churchill manifesto, it
says: “We may well ask Mr. Chamber
lain whether he is prepared to commit
(be destinies of the country to this politi
cal spirit. The manifesto is as iusalting
to Ireland as to Mr. Gladstone, and is
such an expression of passion as is hap
pily unusual in English politios.”
CHILDERS’ PLATFORM.
Mr. Childers, Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, In his electoral manifesto, advo
cates an Irish elective Parliament em
powered to deal with purely local mat
ters. He says he cannot consent to any
plan for dividing the power between all
liiau arid imperial Parliament incon
sistent with the supremacy of the latter.
The l’arnellites appointed to take
charge of the irish vote in Great Britain
will leave Tuesday for the various uis
rfcts to which they have been assigned.
Thomas O’Conner will remain in London

CHURCHILL’!* MANIFESTO.
Lord Randolph Churchill’s manifesto to
tie electors oi Paddington says a people’s
ussolutiou has come upou us. Such is
tte title given by Mr. Gladstone to the
asst wanton political convulsion that
in our times has afflicted this
eeintry. By the caprice of au
inlividual elevated to diguity by act
oftbu people, by the boundless egotism of
tl Premier, the kingdom is to be dis
unted lor the purpose of securing office,
if ooly lor a little while, by
tb< aid of disloyal factions,
su slating upon foreigu gold. Tbe
go'ernment has been deserted by all who
cotld coofer upon it character or reputa

doing days a conspiracy against tbe

and dots that for a quarter ol a century
baveoccupied his imagination.

MOBBED BY CHINAMEN.
Adventure of a Missionary’s Family
With Angry Natives.
Indianapolis, June 20.—A letter
which has just been received here from
the wife of Albert Fulton, a Presbyterian
missionary sent from this city to Kwai
peng, China, gives a thrilling account oi
how they narrowly escaped death at the
hands of a Chinese mob. Mrs. Fulton
w-rites thattbeir homo and their new little
hospital, where sick and wounded sol
diers were being given Christian atten
tion, were assaulted by a mob of students
and their servants, who were incensed
because the gambling places had been
closed by the magistrate. Wanting some
thing to do, they came out to see what
“the foreign devils,” as the missionaries
were called, were doing.
Mr. Fulton, realizing that the mob was
bent on mischief and plunder, hurriedly
went in search of the magistrate and sol
diers, leaving the women looked up in the
house. These barred the doors and pre
pared for an assault. The mob endeav
ored to burst open the doors. Threats of
killing and butchering were heard, and
when the mob began to pile hay ami bam
boo at the front door the missionaries
hurriedly pinued the Viceroy’s proclama
tion and passports to their skirts and
taking an infant in arms made an escape
through the side door, followed by a wild
and hootiug mob, using terrible language.
’■l turned to them,” says Mrs. Fulton,
“and said/hero we are; now see us, but
dou’t you dare touch us. We came here
to heal your sick and do you good, and yet
you treat us like this. We have sick sol
diers in the hospital, sent here by the
military Mandarin. He is our friend, and
if you in any way iDjure us he will give
you what you deserve.’ They understood
what! said, and exclaimed, ‘Why, she
speaks our dialect.’” But they did not
cease their terrible threats and pressed
closer upon the two women, who were
dually rescued by the soldiers. Mr. Ful
ton bad been stofaed while running to the
magistrate’s residence to get the soldiers
to come to the rescue. The family lost
everything and do not even possess a
change of clothing.

HUGH .1. JEWETT.
Uneasy lues the Head That Wears
A Bailway Crown.
new York, June 19.—The bulls of
Wall street would be delighted to have
the Chicago and Atlantic and Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad companies join the trunk
line pool,an association which is supposed
to boa strong tower of delense for the
leading railway interests of the Uuited
Stales, although it is ati abnormal out
growth of the over-construction of rail
roads in this country and should be for
bidden hv law. With toe two railroads
mentioned within the fold the financial
shepherds think they could lead the fiock
along a primrose path to higher prices.
The mention of the Chicago aud Atlantic
recalls Hugh J. Jewett, once its
President, but who resigned some
months ago. He has made many ene
mies, but whatever may be said of him
lie isone of the notable figures in Wall
street history. He was once a poor boy
in a small village of Western Ohio. Now
he is reputed to be worth $10,000,000. tie
is 58 years of age. Asa bov he worked on
a small farm. He was inclined to study,
and in the long winter evenings read
among other books au old volume of
“Blackstone’s Commentaries,” which
cbance had thrown in his way. Ho grew
up thoughful, studious and ambitious.
He had a commendable desire to secure a
collegiate education, and by severe econo
my he wus enabled to enter Hiram Col
lege. He was a classmate of James A.
Garfield, whom a strange fate was to seal
with martyrdom as the second ruler of
the republic to tall by the assassin’s pistol.
Alter young Jewett was graduated he
went to Cleveland to seek employment.
He was so poor that he wus glad to secure
a place as clerk in a lawyer’s office at $1
a week. He was yet to receive a thou
sand times that a week as the bead of
a great railroad oompauy. He used his
leisure time as a clerk to study law books,
was admitted to the bar, entered politics,
became Judge, was elected to Congress,
and vigorously supported Abraham Lin
coln and Gen. Grant. He resigned his
seat in Congress because be thought he
could improve bis finances iu his profes
sion. He opened an office in New Y'ork
and became known as an astute railroad
lawyer. He was lor a time associated with
S. J.Tilden, who, it is needless to state,
was one of the shrewdest of railroad law
yers. Mr. Jewell attracted the notice ot
John A. Dix, then President of the Erie,
and of Col. James Fisk, one of the
financial harlequins of that ill-fated cor
poration so oftdn wounded In the house
of its so-called lriends. In due time Mr.
Jewett became I he receiver of poor, tired
old Erie, nearly exhausted by the bleeding
to which it had been subjected for years
by financial quacks and sharpers.' Mr.
Jewett, lam told, demanded a salary of
$50,000 a year and a payment of ten years
in advance, aud received it, although his
enemies assert that Ulty cents a year
would beau exorbitant charge for" bis
services. Bo this as it may, he certainly
aroused violent opposition; he was ac
cused of extravagauce, and a powerful
faction, led by Mr. D. O. Mills, the Worrn
ser Drothers and a few others, finally ac
complished his overthrow, and Mr.
John King reisns in bis stead, with a
salary of $25,000 a year as President of
the road. Mr. Jewett secured a foothold
in the Chicago and Atlantic and became
its President. He bad old Erie enemies
in the directory, however, who thought
that tho cheapest thing for the road would
be to dispense with the luxury, so to
speak, ot Mr. Jewett’s services. They ac
cordingly secured enough Chicago and
Atlantic stock to give them control of tne
road. Then they invited Mr. Jewett to
resign, and, like a prudent monarch, to
avoid being deposed, he abdicated, and
James H. Benedict reigns in his stead.
And now I see that Mr. Jewett aud his
friends must leave the Cincinnati, Hamil
ton and Dayton road, iu ins case, at
least, it seems that uneasy lies the heuu
that wears a railway crown.
He lives iu a handsome house on Madi
son avenue. He is off-hand and rather
pleasaut than otherwise in bis manners,
lie Is about the medium height, rather
thin, and is slightly lame. He has strong
features; Roman-like resolution is there,
and the effect Is heightened by the Roman
nose, lie is combative, aud starching
black eyes, undimmed ov his three score
years, will on occasion iilsze with aggres
sive ardor. Whatever may be said of his
skill asa financier, he has shown sufficient
force of character to push his way to the
front and secure the highest rewards
which finance has to bestow.

WADE’S IIKAJUN DANGER
SOLICITOR. GENERAL GOODE’S

Allegation* that tho Marnhal Ha* Been
Trying to Secure Favorable Action by
the Republican .senators on Mr.
Goode’s Nomination ns a I-ever for
Securing Ills Own Retention In Ottlee.
Washington, June 20.—A Sunday
paper savs there will soon be a vacancy
in the office of United States Marshal for
tho Eastern district of Georgia. Edward
C. XV ade, tho present incumbent, has beeu
writing letters to Senators on the Repub
lican side urging them to
vote for the confirmation of Solicitor
GeneralGoodebeoause he has assuranoos
that if Mr. Goode is confirmed that he
will be allowed to remain until tho ex
piration of his term. Mr. Wade’s letters
have been very entertaining to Senators
Brown and Colquitt, who have boon try
ing fora year to secure bis removal.
WIIY WADE HANGS ON.
Tho Georgia Senators have been told at
the Department of Justice that the reason
the President has nut removed him is that
they have uot been able to agree upon bis
successor, and while they will uot admit,
that, Mr. Goode has kept hint in
1 lace, they cannot but regard the
case with serious suspicion. It
is dollied at the Department of
Justice that Mr. Wade has been given as
surances by Mr. Goode or anyone in his
bebalf, and it is claimed that iiis appeals
to tne Republican Senators are entirely
voluntary and gratuitous with the inten
tion perhaps of making a claim upon Mr.
Goode here after his confirmation for bib
assistance, hut the publication of the let
ters has not been of any advantage to
either the Solicitor General or the Georgia
Marshal.
THREE MONTHS FOR THINKING.
'Vital Nym Crinkle Has to Say of
Theatrical Managers.
New York, Juue I!).—This may be
called a period of gestation in theatrical
matters. Everybody who acts or manages
does his work lor nine months of the yenr
and then takes three months—June, July
aud August—to do his thinking. It some
of them could distribute their thinking
through the year the public would no
doubt like the performances better. But
they never do. All the plays aud all tbo
plagts are made in the summer. If you
meet a playwright now be has his finger
on his forehead and his manner suys:
“Don’t disturb me; don’t you see 1 am in
my throes!” The crop of new piavs
shoots up green and tender all round
Uniou square. The fellows them
selves remind one ol a brood of
hens scratching, digging and indus
triously clucking, witu now aud then a
clamorous cackling, and you know an egg
has been laid. You will see a thoughtful
mau noe iHto the Morton House, wrin
kled, hungry and disheveled, lie notices
no one. A profound and painful air of
abstraction invests him. People avoid
him. lie looks like a man who wants au
office under the city government This
grows worse and worse, until a criminal
aspect appears aid he begins to look like
a man who has had an office under the
city government. But some morning this
all changes as if by magic. He comes in
smiling and elastic and diffuse. He has
a roll of manuscript in his pocket,
lie has been born again. No
has that same play. Now
he has got a nine months’ rest. No
have we. By August the local mana
gers have to cliiuo over barricades of
manuscriptto getinto thelroffioes. Mac
kaye has gone and done it. Fawcett has
done it. Gayler has done it. Guzauran
has got It. Tne harvest teams are coin
ing iu Troni all sides. Tho gleaners are
singing the songs of the reapers. Barry
more writes that he is ooming back Irom
London withs double toll and that we
are to stand from under. Miss Barry tel
egrapns that she will be here iu October
with anew one. Dauvray is watering,
and manuring and stirring the Freuch soil
ot America. Bronson Howard is her gar
dener. Every member of Wallack’s com
pany bulges with plays, except Mr. Wal
lace. Denman Thompson is here spend
ing aboutss,iMJoin preliminary work on his
“Old New England Hone-stead.” John
C. Freund Is organizing a company for
September. Mantel! has got anew and
strong play of Keller’s. Kate Forsythe
ha* captured Roach. Edna Cary broke
out as brown as a berry with a play in
each hand and one in her satchel. Up
town the society playwrights sit at their
windows anil entice passers-by with
manuscript. The only man in New York
who hasn’t written a play for next season
is Charles A-. Dana, lie, unlike tbe rest
ol tbe population, bolds his bead up in
conscious rectitude. Be defies Paresis
and the playhouse wltb unwavering
strength. The only other man that
excites any admiration, and for other
reasons, is Vider, who bag probably
written more plays than any mail
alive, but who, upon bis dying bed, can
look up in serene hopefulness and say:
“Thank God, 1 have not written one line
that has been produced.” Alas, how few
of us can say that. There is my Iriend
George Clarke; he recently produced a
melodrama at the People’s Theatre. He
has been biding in the caves of the earth
ever since. All this is clashed by recent
neurologists at the asylums under the
head of “Suicide by the Pen.”
The moment your friend begins to think
about getting life into “situations,” look
out for Paresis.

ART IN THE BAR ROOMS.
Scenes in Some of the Gilded Met
ropolitan ot Baeelms.
New York, June 19.—The acme of the
barroom picture craze lias been reached.
It began years ago with oolorod engrav
ings of the famous runners and trotters.
The next was tinted delineations of
scenes iu the Jardin Mabillo ami Gloserie
do Lilas. Suddenly Ed Stokes burst upon
the horizon at tho Hoffman cafe with his
SIO,OOO Bougereau. Then Theodore Stew
art tollowed with his uallory iu Warren
street. And now Charles F. VVlUlev
comes to the front with a painting which
cost him, sotting and all, $12,000. Wiidey
owns half a dozen barrooms in New York,
all furnished in a wav that recalls similar
glories in Nan Francisco. He is a little
blonde blue-eyed fellow, extremely pol
ished, and as quick as a ferret. Although
not bald he invariably wears a silk skull
cap. Less than a year ago Wildey bought
“lit the old Bodega, nu the west side of
Broadway, two doors above Leonard
street. He fitted it up in the most gor
geous style, with a circular bar of bird's
eye maple, sou Turkey carpets, ormolu
chandeliers, frescoed ceilings, and a
wealth of bric-a-brac. Having laid this
foundation he capped the c!I in axTiy going
to I’uris and buying Benjamin Constant’s
painting “Le Judgment du Cberif.” It
cost him $37,000 in the Paris market, and
it bas cost him $5,000 more lor duties and
mounting. The picture is 25 feet long
and 10 feet high. The scene is laid iu
Spain at the time of the Moorish occupa
tion. Having reason to suspiot infidelity
in his seraglio and unable to detect the
guilty wife, a Moorish prince has bad the
gems of his baretn bow-stringed in a fit of
jealousy. The picture represents the
scene after the work Is done. The figures
are nude and of life size. The Andalus
ian blonde is there, with the brunette of
the Basque provinces, and tho liiy-eom
plexloned girl of Arragon. The linurl of
Morocco aud tho ebon-chested beauty of
Ethiopia are also iretched in death.
Their corpses lie on tho teeeelated floor
with the pallor of death on their faces.
A gigantic black executioner with mask
ed face is squatted on the right with as
sistants near him. Ills bands are stained
wilh blood, for the dagger was used as
well as the bloody bow-string, and there
are great clots of blood on the floor. The
sunlight glints across the bodies, giving a
glow to the coloring and Intensnying the
effect. Tho golden locks or tbo blonde,
the raven tresses of the brunette and (lie
kinky hair of the Etfilop give a startling
air of reality to the picture. Nests of
electric lights bring out its finer features,
and illumine the drapery in the back
ground.
Tbo saloon is thronged from morning
until night. A crowd is ever regarding
the painting, studying its effect, and des
canting upon its merits In whispered ac
cents. The picture itscll seems to enforce
silence. As at the, lloffmau House ami in
Theodore Ntewart’s, ladies with rnalo es
corts frequently grace the scene with
iheir presence, and gsze at the canvas lu
borriOsd wonder. Meantime an elegant
free lunch is spread, and the bar at the
buck does a rushing business. Men some
times surround it like a brigade in hol
low square patiently a watting their turns.
It cost VVildey $30,000 to tit up the place,
and he pays $12,000 a year rent. His ex
penses, including interesr, are about S3OO
a day. He is taking in from SSOO to S7OO,
according to the weather and the season.
The opening of this place, however, has
had no perceptible effect on Theodore
Stewart’s receipts. Tue gallery in War
ren street attracts crowds daily. The
pictures here are artistic, without the
feature of nudity. One of Harnett’s, enti
tled “After the Hunt,” represents gsme
hanging on an old door. The light Is so
perfect, and the rusted hinges, lock and
old hut are so exquisitely painted that
slightly*fuil(lle(l visitors frequently bet
tbal tuer are real. A second gem liy the
same artist depicts a violin and sheets of
worm-eaten music on a table, with such
effect that strangers occasionally try to
pick up the violin, rtn-wart’s receipts
are olten more than SI,OOO a day.
An old Ircak in barrooms has been re
vived by ttie brother of Jacob Hess, a
well kr.own politician, on Broadway, near
Houston street. The walls are hung with
caricatures of noted New Yorker* from
Joseph Howard. Jr., down to Stephen B.
Freucb. The Illustrations are marvel
ous, aud attract much attention. The
Idea originated with the lamed Jerry
Thomas years ago. He bought mammoth
caricatures drawn bv Thomas Nast tor
Max Maretzek’s ballad opera In Madison
Square Garden, and made a fortune by
banging them on the walls of bis barroom.
Horse races and Taro banks proved too
much ter him, however, and he dropped
Into the pit of poverty. His collection
was sold at auction. Isaac W. England
bought the simulations of the great edi
tors, and they are to be found to-day cov
ered with tti! dust of years in the Nun
i o nposing rooms. *
Apropos of paintings, it is a fact that
Mrs. A. T. Stewart has closed her gallery
to visitor*. Intimate friends alone are
now ad mined to see Meissonier’s master
piece and other gn at paintings. Former
ly any respectable person could gam ad
mittance by sending for a card. An at
tendant was always on hand to point out
the gems of the collection. One day, how
ever, a party of curious women, who had
gained entrance by Mrs. Htowart’n cour
tesy, slipped out of the gallery unseen by
the attendant and began to explore tbe
house. They actually lound their way
into Mrs. Stewart’s private apartments,
and stood lor some minutes gazing at the
old lady and commenting audibly on ber
personal appearance. This was too much.
Tbe widow ol the princely merchant put
ber foot down, and Irorn that day to ibis
tbe doors other great gallery bave been
shut to visitors. In view of the closing of
the Vanderbilt gallery since the death of
William H., this must be regarded as a
public calamity. Magnificent pictures
can yet be seen at tbe Lenox Library ar.d
the rooms of tbo New York Historical So
olety. Cole’s four pictures of the "The
Voyage of Life,” John Vanderlyn’s
"Ariadne,” and pictures by other old
American painters can be found at tbe
latter place. /.iska.

CLUB GOSSIP.
| _
The Strict Rules Governing tho Va
rious Organizations,
j New York, Juno 19. —Tho great, bast
| ling outside world, by whom tho club
| house is supposed to be a retreat from its
\ cares and confusion, havo littlo idea
that the rules ami regulations are as rig
orous and gonorally as strictly enforced
as at an army headquarters. It is said
that the most rigorously governed club
in the city is the Union League. Here
millionaires are ruthlesslv posted if they
are Indebted to the club in u few cents.
This once occurred to a no less eminent
capitalist than Jackson N. Nchultz. who
so much enjoyed the joke that ho allowed
Ids name to remain on the list the limit of
the time before the next step of suspension,
1 preliminary to expulsion ami suit to re
cover the amount. The editor of a well
! known daily paper ouce thoughtlessly
carried awav his own paper, and he was
suspended fifteen (lavs for violating the
house rule that forbids the appropriation
of the clip) literature. Recently Jesse'
Grant, who is generally considered the
smartest of the three Grant boys, thought
: lesslv invited a neighbor ot his to visit
the club house with him, completely ob
livious of the rule forbidding the introduc
tion of residents beyond the little recep
tion room furnished for them bv the door,
and he has been suspended fifteen days In
consequence. This rule regarding t.liodn
troduollon of residents is so rigorously
enforced tbnt even the members who
lodge in the house cannot see their visi
tors in their own room, but must receive
in that design for the purpose. This is n
rule of all the principal oluhs, onlv the
Lambs, the Manhattan and the Lotos
making an exception of admitting a resi
dent twice a mouth. Tho Union Longue
is tho only club in the city that has no
card mom and that dees uot allow card
playing.
The membership of all clubs iu the cltv
is full excepting at tho Lotos, the Lambs
and the Calumet, and, consequently, tho
applicants have to wait, months lor a va
cancy to be caused by death or resigna
tion. It is common lor candidates to be
listed in tho Uniou League and Union for
a year or two before getting In: while In
the Century ho generally grows gray ami
has forgottpn all about his application.
Hero the list Is cut down anuunlly by a
wholesale dropping of half the number.
It Is likely that, the Loubat Union Club
matter will soon be ancient history, so to
speak, ns the club will not furtner contest
the case. Air. Lminat has been assured
of the friendship of so many of the mem
bers that be will not under any circum
stances resign. lie has returned to the
club, and will soon once more become one
of its habitues. He Is a iniddle-agetl bach
elor, with an income dose on to SIOO,OOO
per annum, a gentleman of leisure and
pleasure, occasionally taking a (Iyer In
stock speculation just for tbo excitement,
and be used to make the club hts head
quarters. taking all his meals there, and
spending most of his time anti a rood deal
of his money there. He contemplates a
run across the ocean this summer, and
declares be has no .hard feelings towards
any in the club, believing that those who
went against him acted according to
their non vlctions.
There has been quite a squall In Ihe
New York Yacht Club over the reference
in several papers to the recent “unpleas
antness” of a member bringing in u lady
to see the models early one morning, anil
ordering wine and indulging in piano
playing and singing. Now, it is un un
written rule that inembors may bring In
ladles to see the models at reasonable
hours, aud no notice is ever taken or It.
But this member was evidently returning
from a feast, and he insisted on remain
ing anil doing as he pleased, his compan
ion aiding and abetting him. The refer
ence alluded to Indicated that the offender
was the well known gentleman, Mr.
Lloyd l’huinlx. who has been very quiet
of late years, and be has naturally been
very much annoyed. The offender wus
the baritone, Btarsfield, who is not u
yacbtowner, anil who lias been allowed
to resign to save himself from expulsion.
It is considered very infra fit;/. to tall
asleep In a chair in a club, and the only
one In which It can be safely done is in the
dark corners of tbe Century Club, whers
grav.haired members often Indulge in
forty winks after walking uptown or after
dinner. A duel nearly resulted once be
tween two members ot tbo Union Club
because one awoke tbe other from a
peaceful slumber In a quiet corner one
morning afler be had been out all night,
by repeatedly violently ringing the tap
bell In his vicinity. John d’Akmk.
STAIIKE KIFTINGH.
An Intoxicated Man Performs a
Delicate Surgical Operation.
Starke, Fi.a., June 20.— The closing
exercises of Htarko Institute passed off
with great oclat. The address o| Capt.
Johnson, of tbe Waldo Advertiser, before
the tv/o societies was unusually good and
did honor to tbe occasion.
From present indications l’rof. Isioney
will have a much larger attendance next
session than ever before. A p.'ousiug in
cident occurred during the closing exer
cises—the presentation ot a very hand
some library lamp to the Professor tiom a
few of his patrons.
Measles are still rampant here. Many
not satisfied with one attsck are having
them the second and even the third time.
The cron prospect* for Bradford county
are very llattering at present. Many of
our farmers say that they have never
known them better; yet a few days rain
can destroy all this.
A surgical operation was performed
here a day or two ago under very novel
circumstances. Two of our bibulous citi
zens, being rather the worse for John
Barleycorn, one of them noticed a pecu
liar growth on the other's eye, questioned
him In regard to it, aud was Informed that
it wus m disease which hud been giving
him trouble tor one or two years, and bad
destroyed the sight in the affected mem
ber. Ii had consulted one of our
leading physicians, who informed
him that it was pterezlnun, and
could lie leuioved, costing him, perhaps,
$25. This triend, through sympathy
for his trouble, suggested tu Idea of re
moving it. It was no sooner mentioned
than consented to. 80, stretching himself
at lull length on a billiard tnblo. his
friend, after whetting his rather large
pocket knife on his shoo, took an ordinary
needle, caught up the foreign membrane,
raised itcleurofi.be ball of tbo eye and
cut Itcarcfuliy away. The operation, ao
far, bus been successful, aud sight almost
completely restored.
The Gubernatorial contest In Georgia
Is closely watched even here. Many of

It was passed by a large majority urn)

not debatable under the rules, but they
may not be invoked, since Senator Becic
has expressed a willingness to hear what

It is likely that most, ol the week will

measures: The lit!I to repeal the pre

A FINK MINSK*’ VICTORY.
Grace Brewer Graduates Alone Be
fore a Large Audience.
from tho Xtw York Wort*.
Vincennes, Ind„ June 18.—A mos
peculiar commencement was held in the
Vincennes High School to-day. The class
of lNBi, which should have consisted of
nine members, was narrowed down to one,
and sbe was a colored girl—Grace Brewer.
In this attair race prejudice completely
obliterated the usual commencement ex
ercises. Eight of the white members po.
litely but firmly withdrew trotn the clas-i,
but Professor Edward Taylor, Superin
tendent, strictly adhered to the orders ol
bis Htipcgjor officers—the Nobool Board—
and to thfi law. Therefore, after the white
pupils had withdrawn, the announcement
was made that Grace alone should gradu
ate. Nothing of the kind bad ever oc
curred before la this section, and hi
afternoon at J 5 o’clock tbe public school
hall wu crowded to stiff cation.
Grace was tbe recipient of much atten
tion. Prof. Taylor introduced tier to the
audience as “tue class of ’BO. solitary and
alone,” and the girl, who, though of a
black stain, bas a brave heart, stepped
timidly forward on tbe platform and read;
her essay entitled, “The Difficulty ol Edu
cating (ho Colored Youth; Tueir Advant
ages and Disadvantages.” The produc
tion was meritorious, and although sue
faltered and trembled, she pas< and through
the ordeal withouterror. while engaged,
in reading her e**ay several beautiful. 1
white children passed through the audi
ence gathering bouquets, presenting them/
to her at the close. Prof. Taylor pre
sented to her her diploma in the regulai
way, and congratulated her tor having sn
successfully pursued her stud es in tha
public school* ol Viuoenncs. Siio was
also pres* meet with a beautiful silk
budge by the i-udies Suffragist Associa
tion of Kokomu, Ind.
Probaoly this affair has taken tbe most
peculiar turn ol any like occasion. Ncorte
of letters have beeu received from every
quaiter, East and West, urging Prof.
Taylor to stand by bis determination to
recognize the law's of the country. He
lias also received offers from abroad to
lake charge of educational Institutions
should he not be re-engaged here.
Politically the futbers of live of tbe eight
white gins are Republicans. Grace is of
handsome features aud form, graceful
and accomplished, and in the excitement
she has been unassuming and modest.
WHY LUDWIG DID NOT M.UtRY,
A Soiled Handkerchief llobs I’rtu

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph King, of Baltimore,
were in Munich at the time of the engage*
rnent of tbe late King Ludwig and the
Princess Bopbia. “It bas been tbe ous
tout in Bavaria,” said Mr. King to a re*
porter of tbe American, “on the occasion
of the netroihal of any ot the royal farai
lies, to have engraviug* of the partiea
made and copies distributed throughout
toe kingdom. T'uls, ol course, was done
at the lime of tbe engagement of young
Ludwig and lus pretty fiancee. When
toe engagement was annulled by tbe
King, however, be determined to destroy
the gifts he bad so gladly leatowei
