it accumulates in great quantities around
the edges, whence it is only necessary to
haul it away and work it up into com

in other parts is practically inexhaustible,
and has as yet hardly been touched.

William, of Germany, the following is
©f interest: “Only a few favored ones
are enabled to see five generations— great
grandparents, grandparents, parents,
children, grandchildren. The Emperor
has known seven generations, who com
prise a period of 158 years from the birth
of the oldest person up to to-day. The
Emperor was twenty-one years of age
when his great-grandmother, Langraviss
Luiso, died March 11, 1818, at the ago
of ninety years.”

A hollow steel float, eighty feet square,

of an English inventor. He would have
this known as a harbor of refuge in dis

news by telegraph, and as a weather
station. The saving of cost in cable
telegraphing alone by the use of relay in

opinion, be sufficient to pay its current

The old notion that wine Improves by

man, a German chemist, has been ex

there is an age at which all wines, in

some. He ordered some wines of the
famous Bremen Rathskeller, Rudeshei
mer Rose. 1051. and Hochheimer Apos
tel, 17:28, highly recommened for their
medicinal value, and found that they
were deficient in natural glycerine and
contained as much acid as the cheapest
new wines in poor seasons, ,<o that they
were positively injurious to health.
The lumbermen of Michigan are con
stantly reaching out into new fields, as
their own forests are disappearing.
There ha? been a great deal of Michigan
capital invested for a number of years in
Canadian pine. Sevwal Michigan lum
bermen have been engaged for three or
four years in the mahogany trade be
tween this country and Central America.
Now it is stated that syndicates of
Michigan men have within a few days
purchased nearly a million and a half of
acres of the long-leaved pine lands of
Xiou.suuia and Mississippi. The lands
we e a 1 Government property and have
been acquired a: a cost of $1.25 pea
a re—a total of something like $1,800.-
000 having been p.id for them. It is
believe : that the standing timber aggre
gates 15,0>>,000 feet of lumber. There
h.s been a much mooted question about
the quality of thi? yellow pine, but
tests have been made of it which were
satisfactory to the Michigan men. and
they prop se to hold the production
and control it. Michigan pine lands are
worth to-day from SSO to SIOO jer
ucre. so that they have a margin for
pre-fit in the land value, which is in itseU
enormous.

THE PREMIER DEFEATED.
.4 >I.4 JORII Y OF THIRTY KILLS
THE HOME RILE BILL.
Large t royfd* and Great Excitement is
the House of Commons.
Fr< mer Gladstone's Irish Home Rule bill
failed to pass its second reading in the House
of Commons, on the night of the
~th, by a vote of 311 to 311. Mr. Glad
stone immediately moved an adjournment
until Thurs a < and the motion was adopted.
Ihe tinal debate in the House was opened
at 5 o'clock p. m., by Mr. Goschen, who
s, oke against the bill at great length He
was toiioweu in turn by Mr. Parnell, Bir
Michael Hicks-Beach, who also spoke against
the bill, and Mr. Gladstone, the Premier
ilo-ing the debate.
Mr. Gladstone entered the House at 4:55
and proceeded straight to his seat. When
his j re ci.ce was noticed he was greeted with
tremendous cheering. The Parueltites gave
the Piemier an enthusiastic welcome. He
wore a white rose in his lapel and smiled as
hi too; his seat. Every inch of spate on the
main Door and in the galleries was occupied.
The Opj o it on loudly cheered John Bright
and Ixird Harrington as they entered and
took their places.
In a special cable dispatch, T. P. O'Con
uor, a Parnoilite member, says: “Thegen
ei al opinion to-night is that at least three
general elections wul have ti be held before
Gladstone finds himself at the head of a solid
working majority, and that the country is
now fairly in for a loag term of excitement,
unparalleled in the history of Great Britain
since the time of Cromwell.
s speech to-night was a great suc
cess—simp e, frank and resolute. He de
scribed the bill as one that could be and had
been loyally accepted by the Irish people at
home and abroad. An immense sensation
was caused when he revealed the offers made
by some of the Tory leaders to bring in a bill
grantiug home rule,accompanied by the right
of prote tion of manufactures and trade. The
effect off the House was so startling that Mr.
Parnell paused, and thereupon volleys of
cheers rose from the Gladstonite and Par
nedlite benches, the Premier heartily joining
in with significant gestures. The Tories and
mutineers responded with counter demon
strations, which w r ere finally drowned by
fiercer and fiercer cheers from the throats
of the Home Rulers. The House at this
po.nt was at a white heat of ex
citement and the scene particularly
animated, every bench being crowded to its
fullest capacity. The galleries under the
clock were choked with members unable to
find seats on the floor. The whole of the
standing room below the gangway and be
hind the top benches was filled. The
counter cheers of the hostiles having been
fairly drowned by the Nationalists and
government men, Parnell, cool and
collected, his features expressive of
high purpose, proceeded with his revelations.
He said that the promise of a bill giving
home rule to Ireland was accompanied bv a
pledge of an important scheme of land pur
chase, designed to create a peasant proprie
tary on the widest possible basis, and in ef
fect transferring the land of Ireland
from the present owners to the
occupiers, a scheme in all re
spects much more extensive than
that introduced this session by Mr. Gladstone.
He next attacked Chamberlain’s objections
against the Home Rule bill, and his alter
native proposals, tearing them to pieces one
by one, and destroying the entire fabric of
caucus opposition by calm,exhaustive,unspar
ing and convincing analysis. Looking across
the floor of the House at the Chamberlaimtes,
Parnell ‘declared that the object of the
chief of the Liberal mutineers was simply
and solely to cast a stigma upon the Irish
Parliament, and to keep Irishmen under the
thumb of subjection. As he said this his
voice and color rose, he drew himself up to
his full height, and, with right hand ex
tended, asserted with marked emphasis that
this subjection would never again be sub
mitted to by Ireland His peroration was
effective and touching, and as he sat down
he was rewarded with a volley of ringing
cheers.
“Althonghthe belief was still general after
Parnell’s speech that the second reading was
hopeless, it was understood that several
• votes had been changed as the result of the
eflort of the Nationalist leader. Many
Radicals were anxious at the last mo
ment to be relieved of the necessity of
voting against the bill, and begged Cham
berlain to release them from their pledges to
follow the Birmingham caucus chief into the
division lobby against Mr. Gladstone.
“In the result the government was defeated
by thirty votes. The scene was one of the
most intense excitement, such as the oldest
members cannot remember to have wit
nessed before. The Tories frantically waved
their hats and handkerchiefs and jumped
upon the benches, shouting and gesticu
lating wildly. The Nationalists, after a
pause, followed their example, aud gave
three rousing cheers for the “Grand
Old Man” and a succession of unearthly
groans for Chamberlain, and shouts of
“ Judas,” which were taken up as the news
spread like wildfire through the lobbies
and halls to the outside, where au im
mense multitude had gathered awaiting
the announcement of the vote. Among the
crowd were great numbers of Irish from
all parts of the country, in a condition
of irrepressible excitement. Mr. Gladstone
throughout the scene sat quiet and composed,
as though he had fully expected defeat as
the inevitable first step in a long and arduous
struggle, and was perf jctly prepared for re
newal of the contest at th - proper moment.’

THE HONEYMOON ENDED.
THE PRESIDEST ASD HIS BRIDE
RE TrilSS TO WASH ISO T OS'.
Mr*. Cleveland Duly Installed as Mistress
of the White House.
The President's honeymoon trip ended on
the Bth, and at sundown of that day Mrs.
Grover Cleveland entered the White House
on the arm of her husband, to remain there
as its mistress. There had been no special
preparations to receive her, except that the
wedding decorations ha 1 been cleared away
an and the gardener had placed in the bride's
chamber and on the dining room table
bunches of bright and fragrant flowers to
lend sentiment to her welcome. The Rev.
Wul N. Cleveland,Mrs. Hoyt, the President's
sister, and Miss Rose Cleveland were at the
White House to greet the pair, and they with
Col. Lamont and his wife, composed the
family gathering supper. It was because
of the need that Mrs. Hoyt and the Rev. Mr.
Cleveland should return home that the stav
at Deer Park was cut short a day, as the
President thought this might be the last
chance for a family meeting for a long time,
Tfie homeward trip of more than 200 miles
took less than seven hours, and closed quite
au eveutful day. Incidents of the ieturn
trip are given in a Washiugtou dispatch as
follows:
The process of packing at the Deer Park
cottage did not seem to worry Mrs. Cleve
land much. She was visible "most of the
morning and yet when the baggage wagon
came for the trunks they were ready. At
12:45 the carriage was at the door
aud in less than five minutes the bride
aud bridegroom, Mr. and Mrs. La
moot, ex-Seuator Davis and Mr. Elkins were
seated in the private car Baltimore. The
telegraph operators and railroad detectives
were put into the combination car, which
followed the engine. Charles Seldon, gener
al manager of ttie Baltimore and Ohio Tele
graph company,aud John W. Davis, President
Garrett’s assistant, occupied the director’s car
Delaware, which was the second ear of the
train. The Baltimore brought up the rear.
The train started from the hotel station,
stopping at Deer Park. The people had
gathered in full force on the platform to
slialte hands with the President and his wife.
John Graham was brought up as the repre
sentative citizen and introduced as the
Mayor.
“The Mayor, indeed. I know how that is.
I was once mayor myself,” said the Chief
Magistrate, as he took Graham’s hand.
Mrs. Cleveland took the women by the
hand as they- passed the rear platform. One
somewhat diffident young lady did not seem
iucliued to reach up to the platform where
Mrs. Cleveland stood. Mrs. Cleveland there
fore stepped down two steps to reach the
bashful one’s hand. At 12:59 the train moved
off and Deer Park had lost its greatest at
traction and sensation.
The train next stopped at Piedmont. Ex-
Senator Davis had sent information as to the
President’s movements, and a rousing recep
tion had been prepared. A brass band and
several hundred people greeted the President.
A girl less than five years old was handed
over the heads of the crowd, and she handed
a bouquet to Mrs. Cleveland as the train
moved away. Keyser was reachetet 2 o'clock
aud here another crowd largely composed of
women surrounded the Cleveland car. Here
also a child was passed up the rear platform
with a bunch of flowers for Mrs. Cleveland.
The President greeted the frightened young
ster with:
‘“Look up, little one, don’t be afraid,”
Just as the train began to get under head
way an excited man eagerly grabbed the
President by the hand and said:
“I am Sheriff of the county, but I do not
expect to follow in your footsteps.”
“Comeright ahead; I’ll make room for
you,” was the laughing response.
At Cumberland the tracks were lined with
people, but no stop was made. The Presi
dent stood on the rear platform with un
covered head, and bowed while the crowd
cheered and waved flags. At Martinsburg,
the largest place through which the train
Massed, only a few people were at the depot.
he run from Martinoburg to Harper’s Ferry,
nineteen miles, was made in twenty
minutes. There.-Sf** no greeting at this
point. An hour xiter the train reached
Washington.
When the train reached the K street cross
ing. out near the suburbs, some distance
from the main depot, a large crowd, many
in carriages, had gathered in hopes of
catching a glimpse of the President and his
bride. But they were disappointed, as the
train merely slackened speed at the cross
ing and then continued slowly into
the central Baltimore and Ohio depot. Here
perhaps 400 or 500 people, more fortunate
than those at the K street crossing, awaited
outside the depot the arrival of the President.
When the train came to a stop, the President
was the first of the quartette in the rear car
to alight.
Mrs. Cleveland followed, and assisted by
the President, stepped nimbly from the
car. Colonel Lamont and Mrs. lamont
came tripping along a few seconds later,
and the party walked briskly out through
the depot to the front of the building,
where the President’s seal browns and
his carriage with the coachman were wait
ing. It took only a few seconds for the four
to enter the carriage, and they were off for
the White House—home after an absence of
six days.
BASE BALL NOTES.
The Detroits are making a strong fight
with Chicago for first place.
This has been a season of surprises so far.
Not a prediction has been verified.
The Southern clubs are now playing good
ball and all are pretty evenly matched.
Bennett has caught in twenty-five out of
twenty-seveu games played by Detroit.
The Kansas Citys are known as the stormy
petrels of the league. They seem to carry
bad weather in their wake.
It is not an unreasonable guess to say that
about 50,000 persons paid to see the various
games on the professional grounds in or near
New York on Decoration Day.
Three of the heaviest batters in the League
are first basemen, two are pitchers, one a
catcher, one a third baseman, another a
short stop and th others outfielders.
Manning, of Detroit, had played without
an error in twenty-one games previous to an
accident in New York which will incaya i
tate him from playing for some time.
It is singular that of the first dozen leading
batsmen of the Association no less than six
are pitchers. Of the remaining six four are
outfielders, one aa infielder and one a catcher.
In Tate. Poorman, Sam Wise, Nash aud
Johnston the Bostons have a line quintet ot
great base runners. They keep tne pitcher
“guessing’’ as to their next move wue.i oa
tases.
Centre-fielder Bill Crowley, of
Charleston, recently accomplished the feat
of catching a ball muffed by Le:t-Selder Gil
man ere it reached tne ground by a wonder
ful dive.
Over 25,000 peopl • attended the fir-t six
games played by tue Bostons at home, which
is pretty good support of a team that had,
up to that time, lost th e - oat of every four
games played.
New York is a wonderful ball town. In
the three New Yore-Detroit games the De
troits received fifteen cents for each of the
34.1)00 spectators who pa and to see tbe game,
the New Yorks' share being thirty-five cents
each, beside the proceeds from the sale of
about 15,00 grand stand seats.
Ball players in Pittsburg are talking
about the catcher of an ama:ear club, who
was remarkable for catching many batsmen
out oa foul tips, even when the bat didn t
seem to strike within three or four inches of
the ball. An investigat.on revealed that the
cat her had a gum Land attached to his
glove, and when he desired to foul out a man
he would raise the band with one finger, and
when the ball passed under the tat re.ease it.
Tne baud would snap against the glove and
all within hearing would hear a supposed
foul tip.
Longevity of the Frequency.
“Don't you consider it very remarkable
that the Rev. Mr. Snaggs. preaches now
with as much frequency as he did forty
years ago?”
“Oh, I don't know. I don't i think a
man’s frequency is apt to wear out as
soon as some other parts of his organism.

the Ministry to wait upon the King and
ask him to authorize the appointment
of a Regency Council, was arrested bv
order cf the King when he entered
the Castle of Hohenschwangau. The
King also gave orders that a guard of gen
d'arms be placed arouai tho castle, fhe
Regent thereupon issued an order to release
Count Holstein and to surrender the castle to
the State Commission.
A dispatch from Muni ;h, the Bavarian
cap tal, says: Tii.r eis great excitement in
Munich aud some regret at the proposed de
position of King Ludwig, who, in sp te of
his eccentricities, has always been greatly be
loved. Tnough he has given but little
attention to state affairs of late
years it has not been found that the
interests of the couutrv suffered to
any appreciable extent. 1b fact, so long as
the price of beer was kept at the normal fig
ure and strangers were attracted to the cap
ital by the opera and the art treasures left i>y
Ludwig 1.. Munichians cared little whether
the King ruled or not. King Ludwig
has been on the Bavarian throne
sin°e the 10th of March, 8341.
and in August will be forty-one years old.
Tue Munichians laugh at th* idea re -eerily
started iu Paris that the King s madness
comes from an over-enjoyment of Wagner s
music, which His Ma 'esty was the first toap
preriate iu Europe. They rather attribute his
mental calamity and his baukruut ;v to too
great a fondness for the manners an least vns
of the time of “L j Grande Mouarque.” His
new Gothic castle o: Schwanstein, built
ou the Bavarian Alps, cost him only a fric
tion of the vast sums he has soent iu attempt
ing to carry out on the Herren luseln, in
Late Chiem, his imitations of Versailles and
the Trianon. His expenditures for his new
chateau on thoChierasee have been fabulous.
A gigantic chandelier cost him $109,00), a
bed more than a million of francs, and a
single covering in Chinese embroidery some
hundreds of thousands of francs.
Within a short time the deposed King in
vited a corps of light horse to dinner, an 1
put on his uniform as its Colonel. He pro
posed the men’s health in a speech, did
the same to the gen-d armes, and pledged
them in bumpers. He sent his hair
dresser, clothed with extraordinary powers,
to receive a minor official and ask him to
form anew Ministry. He once let an official
dinner in Nuremberg wait while he called on
the Burgenmeister, at a village some miles
off.
Two years ago his uncle. Prince Luitpold,
paid out a sum of $750,000 to satisfy the
royal creditors. Since then, however, the
King has made further debts to the amount
of $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. Very re cently a
family council of the members of the Wifc
teisbach family was held at the house of Prince
LuitDold, the head of the house, when the
absolute necessity of a regency was decided
upon. Prince Luitpold’s eldest son, Prince
Ludwig, is the heir presumptive to the Bava
rian throne, and is married to a niece of the
late Countess of Chambord. King Lu Iwig
has one brother, Prince Otto, born in 1848,
but he is incapacitated for the succession.
King Ludwig’s civil list has been $1,500,000
annually.

A THEATRE BURNED.
Louisville’* New Grnnd Theatre Destroyed
by Fire.
At 3:50 Tuesday morning fire was discovered
behind the stage of the new Grand theatre, at
Louisville, Ky. The canvass and oil of the
scenery and stage settings burned fiercely and
in five minutes after the discovery of the flames
the entire stage was blazing furiously. An
a arm was 6ent in, but the engines that re
sponded were unable to do anything toward
extinguishing the conflagration which, by this
time, covered all of the middle of the block
between Third, Fourth, Jefferson and Green
streets. A second alarm was turned in, but
the entire theatre was then on fire, and resisted
the greatest efforts of the firemen. The flames
spread to the rear of the saloons fronting on
Green and Jefferson streets, and at daybreak
the entire centre of the square was a glowing
mass of red hot mortar and blazing wood. Th?
theatre was leased to Whallen Brothers, about
four years ago, and was one of the finest in the
west or south. The block was valued at SIOO,-
000, and is a complete loss, the Green street
front, which was occupied by the medical col
lege, being all that remains standing. It is
insured. At 5 o’clock the fire broke ont with
renewed rigor in the medical college building,
and at the Jefferson street side of the theatre.
The roof* of ail the burned structures fell in,
and the block was entirely destroyed.
The fire was confined to the Davis block. The
theatre had just closed for the season. Tee
first estimate of ths losses was little if any ex
aggerated.

CHEAP MEALS.
A Paradise for Tramps in the
Great Metropolis.
A Restaurant Where a Dinner May be
Obtained for a Few Cents.
After a very pleasant lunch in Park
Row, Detective Gilbert C'arr said to a
New York reporter, “We know how all
decent people live; suppose we see how
the beggars and tramps eat their food.
Let us go to Tramps’ Hall.” Tramps’
Hall is a small restaurant, if it can be so
styled, in Pearl street nea* Chatham.
The sign over the door bears (he inscrip
tion, “Small Delmonico.” There are a
half dozen tables and twenty-four stools
in the place. The tables are made of
rude material and are covered with white
oilcloth. There are a few cheap pictures
and theatrical show Dills hung up on the
walls. The kitchen is in the rear and
communicates with the eating place by
means of a door in which an aperture has
been cut. Through this door the dishes
ordered by customers are handed out.
The cook aud the kitchen are rigidly
keptin seclusion. N.o outsider is allowed
to enter the mysterious laboratory in
which the repasts of the Lazaruses of
New York are prepared. There are no
waiters, for the proprietor, Air. R. Barna
bo, is too wise to trust strangers in so
economical a business. He acts as wait
er and cashier, aud his deep trousers
pocket is the till from which he make?
change. Mr. Barnabo is an adipose Ital
ian of an oleaginous nature, something in
the way of a cross between Mr. Wardle’s
fat boy and Uriah Heep. He fairly bub
bles over with good nature and impress
es a casual visitor with the idea that he
is ready at any moment to throw liis
arms around the stranger's neck and kiss
him on both cheeks, after the traditional
and repugnant Italian fashion. A curious
crowd was partaking of Mr. Barnabo’s
cheer. There were two blind mendi
cants and two blear-eyed women who
share their spoils, a cripple who hobbles
about on the stumps of his legs, an organ
grinder who had deposited his instru
ment under the table at which he sat,
and a vagabond dressed in soldier’s uni
form, who is doubtless familiar to the
general public as a broken-down veteran
who lost his arm at Fredericksburg. The
plates were of the coarsest crockery, the
knives and forks of the commonest kind
and the spoons of pewter. “It does not
pay to have expensive articles here,” said
Detective Carr, with an explanatory smile;
“the customers might be tempted to
leave the house and take them with
them.” Mr. Barnabo proudly exhibited
to the reporter his bill of fare and price
list. It read as follows:
Cents. Cents.
Cup of coffee or tea, 1 Fried fish, 4
Bowl of coffee or tea,2 Beefsteak,
Cruller, 1 Pork chops, 4
Bowl of soup, 2 Fried brains, 4
Fried liver, 3 Pork and beans, 4

Fried heart, 31 Bread pudding, 4
Hash, 31 Liver and bacon, 5

Pork stew, 4 Chicken stew, 5
Corned beef and cab., 4 Roast veal,
Pig’s head and cab., 4 Ham and eggs, 10
Mutton chops, 4 Hamberger steak, 10
When asked how he could sell food at
such a price and earn any profit, Mr. Bar
nabo smiled, shrugged his shoulders and
said: “Economy, signor, always econo
my.” On leaving Tramps’ Hall Detect
ive Carr said to the reporter: ‘ ‘There is
no mystery about the matter. In the
hotels the unused food left on their
plates by guests at meal-time is sorted
out when brought back to the kitchen.
Every evening Mr. Barnabo calls with his
wagon, secures it and recompenses the
cook with whom he ( is doing business.
That is the cook’s perquisite. So it is

A Capricious Composer.
If the stories told of him are true,
Hans Yon Bulow is getting crankier day
bv day. It is related that during his.
last concert tour, as he was about to take
his seat at the piano, he saw some very
plain women sealed near the platform.
At that he walked off the stage, and to
his manager’s inquiries and entreaties
said:
“Until those ugly women are removed
1 will not play a note; so you may do as
you pleass*about it."
The manager stepped up on the stage,
announced that Herr Von Bulow had be
come suddenly indisposed, and the or
chestra would play a symphony which
was to have been played later in the
in cr. • While tbe audience looked e*
wonder he had a number of palms and
shrubs from the conservatory near the
concert room plarnl between the plat
form and the audience. Then calling
Bulow to the wing the manager asked if
the view suited him. “Oh. yes, that's
all right,” quietly said the great musican,
“as long as I don't la-hold those monster*
of ugliness I am quite indifferent to my
surroundings.” And without any more
ado, the capricious composer went on the
platform and performed his share of tho
programme.— New York Sun.
A Doctor’s Confession.
A young St. Louis doctor said to a -re
porter: You frequently see funny ex
pressions in print about doctors killiug
their patients. AY ell, the thing is often
true. I, myself, acknowledge to having
killed two patients. I killed them out
right, and make no bones of confessing
the fact. One man 1 killed by prescrib
ing morphine at a time when his system
was not strong enough to stand the dose.
He left an estate, and there was some ex
citement about dividing the estate. His
wife was charged with having poisoned
him, and the remains were exhumed-,
and there was a great to-do about the
matter, but I pulled through it all right.
The other man was suffering from a pro
longed spree, and I gave him chloral,
which killed him. It was an out-and
out murder, but the Coroner held an in
quest, and attributed his death to jim
jams. These two people I know I killed,
and, as lam yet young, and there are
more active poisonous agents than those
I have so far experimented with, I expect
to kill more people before I die.
Halted Sheridan.
Gen. Sheridan was once halted by G,
M. Woodward, of Wisconsin, when the
latter was a “high private” in the army
of the Potomac and on picket duty. A
man on horseback came along and be
greeted him with the proper salutation:
“Who goes there?” “A friend,” was the
reply. “Advance, friend, and give the
countersign !” said the young private. “I
am Gen. Sheridan,” said the horseman.
Woodward gave him to understand that
he didn’t care if he was Gen. Sheridan;
that he wanted the countersign, and he
brought his bayonet into close proximity
to the General’s person and demanded
the proper answer. Sheridan smiled,
gave it to him and, as he rode away,
turned to remark: “Young man, there’s
a regiment of infantry coming just be
hind me. Don’t molest ’em.”
