BERGH AND GEN. SHERMAN. An Interesting Incident in Which a Pretty Maiden Figures. Nuw York, Juno 11.—“ If selfishness were contagious gni! fatal wlmt an awful epidemic there would be, and what a lot of good material for funerals would lie gath ered up right here.” said a witty iatlv on Decoration Day as forty or fifty of its stood on the steps of the Fifth avenue branch of the Mercantile Library , trying to see over and through each other so" as to now and hen catch a glimpse of the procession as it larchoil by. Everybody laughed except the brass nosed woman who provoked the remark by .preading a parasol directly in front of three small but eager children. . She heai-d the remark and the laugh. She understood both perfectly; but she did not close that parasol, so she enjoyed the su preme satisfaction of seeing the soldiers herself, while she possessed the proud con sciousness of preventing a number of other •eople from catching even a glimpse of any thing below the tops of the flag-staffs. And what a pathetic iot of flags those were! Poor tattered old shreds, clinging to their posts, and reverently carried by old and broken men who. themselves young and active, had followed these same flags when they came fresh and crisp from the loving hands that worked so bravely to send ban ners that should be worthy of the men who were to follow them. Poor, tattered, silken wrecks; What memories they arouse! what teal's they start! I found myself with pictures of un utterable sorrow in my heart and tears on my cheeks, and I realized that it was the flags and not the men that stirred my blood and made me fiercely angry that nobody cheered them, and that men stood stolidly by with covered heads while these pathetic symbols of glory and of death were home once more to the graves of those who had followed them so bravely and fallen under their folds. 1 hope that this did not happen anywhere else along the line of march, and that all of the brass-nosed, selfish women and stolid, unenthusiastie men happened to be massed on that particular block, where even the banner with Lincoln on it did not call forth one single cheer and made no man lift his hat. A little further down a pretty girl about the kissable age—you may decide for your self how old she was—with lips as fresh as a rose and eyes as pure and clear that no other jewels could be half so rich and beautiful, exclaimed: “Oh, which one is Gen. Sher man ? I must see Gen. Sherman! I never have, and he might die!” Her companion laughed. “Well, the very homeliest old codger you see to-day will be the General.” “Provided your ugly old chap is as thin as a match and as dry as a New York Sun day,” put in one of the party. “I don’t care how homely he is, I shall cheer,” said the pretty little maiden. I thought that I would tell her that she would have to go down to Madison square to see Sherman; but I yielded to the temp tation to see what man she would cheer on the strength of deciding that he took the palm for homeliness. A puffy old German commanding one division of the Grand Army came near re ceiving the honor vicariously, but she sud denly stopped and said: “Thin! Well, he’s not thin, and besides he looks as if he drank beer. Does Sherman?” “No. Sherman looks ns if he drank bran,” said a bystander, and everybody laughed. Just then Mr. Bergh hove in sight and the littie miss hesitated no longer. She cheered lustily. “There he is! There he is! He looks just like you said; but I don't care, he’s just splendid, anyhow. Oh, why don’t the peo ple cheer him?” And before her escort knew which man she had chosen to bestow her enthusiasm for Gen. Sherman u]X>n Mr. Bergh had passed, all unconscious of the distinguished honor done him, the compliments paid his manly beauty and showered upon his humane head. So the man whose profession it is to pre vent suffering and death was mistaken for the one whose profession requires him to dispense both when occasion demands—and ul! because both men are tall, thin, and look as dry as a powder magazine. Helen H. Gardener. BUFFALO BILL CRAZE. The Prinpess of Wales Visits the Yankeeries at Night Incog. A London letter to the Philadelphia Press says: I have already referred to the manner In which Minister Phelps has openly opposed the American Exhibition. He actually re fused to even see some of the managers, al though they had personal letters of intro duction to him from such men as Speaker Carlisle and Secretary Bayard. After ig noring the exhibition on the opening day, after publishing in the London newspaper an offensive notice to the public, intimating that the managers were trying to sail under false colors, and after openly antagonizing this enterprise iu every possible way, he has now seen fit to visit it. And why? Because royalty has made it the proper thing. I am glad to hear that some of the directors refused to be presented to Mr. Phelps. It is a great pity that we have not a larger and more imposing display of ex hibits. Crowds of people are attracted to the “Yankeeries” every day by Buffalo Bill, who has for the moment become a craze. Nearly all of the visitors take a walk around the exhibition. It would have been a rare chance for exhibitors. It is not too late now. The art department is exceedingly good and attracts many admiring visitors. Upon the whole the exhibition and Buffalo Bill attachment is a novel show, and will be a great success financially. It might have been as big a success as an exhibition of American industry had the right spirit lieen shown, and had not the American Legation waged constant and oj>en hostility against it. ARISTOCRACY AND THE COWBOYS. Buffalo Bill,. or Colonel, the Hon. IV. F. Cody, as he is called here, has taken Lon don by storm. He is the guest of the aris tocracy, and on Sunday I am told he will dine with Albert Edward himself. While the future King of England and the noble Bars of the realm are hobnobbing with the on. Mr. Cody. Coi. Burke, Orator Rich mond and Red Shirt,, baronets and knights are glad enough to secure the genial cow boy to dine witli thorn and meet their fami lies. I was told yesterday of an amusing scene witnessed by an American gentleman. An English baronet, with single eye glass and very English accent,was asking a couple of cowboys to dino with him. “Be kind enough to give me your cards,” said the Baronet. “Well, to tell the truth,” replied the rather embarrassed young men, “we haven’t got any.” “Oh, never mind; a mere formality' cards are, you know. Not necessary at all, my dear boys. Lady F will bo delighted to meet you. YVhait are your engagements for the week?” The two young fellows looked at each other and said; “Most any night would suit us, I guess.” ‘‘Delighted, you know. Well, say Fri day night. We shall expect you Friday wight. Quite informal. Never mind dress suits.” The two cowboys went and I have no doubt behaved very nicely, but it will be surprising if tho fuss being made over them here does not spoil some of them. For the moment the cowboys have the town and the royal family. There is a hint hero for traveling Americans this year. Lay in a stock of brood-briininod white hats, let your hair grew long and don't lie too aesthetic. The pendulum has swung to the other extreme. In place of Oscar VV ilde we havo Buffalo BUI. Honors are easy. England gavo us the former; we have given England the latter. ALEXANDRA’S ADVENTURE. One other incident in connection with tho Yankeeries and I have done. Her Royal Highness the Princes* of Walee is a* much gone on the Wild West as His Royal High icxs tho Prince o* Wales. The other ingkt Alexandra came down incog, with Col. Grosvenor and some other swells and a titled lady or two. They would not accept a box, but preferred to take “two bob” (50c.) seats. The Princess was dressed in a dowey-looking ulster, and enjoyed herself hugely as one of the people. Afterward she took some refreshments and expressed her delight at the performance by night. Were it not for her deafness I have no doubt the future Queen of England would have heard many of the ’ Arrys and Susans who sat around her talking about “her royal highness” and saying “as how it was quite proper for blushing Susan to look upon men stark naked with the exception of a little apron if their royal ’ighnesses set the fashion.” “And then, Susan, dear, there is the paint. Don’t forget the paint.” What fun! THE MIKADO. Minister Hubbard Tells How the Japan ese are Becoming Christians. From the Houston Post.. The following letter from the Hon. R. B. Hubbard was received by the Rev. W. K. Marshall, and as it contains information concerning the evangelization of the Japan ese empire that mav prove of interest to ministers and church members we publish it entire: Tokio, Japan, March 7, 1887. Per. Dr. Marshall: Dear Doctor —l hereby take pleasure in enclosing for your information the statis tics of missions and missionary work in Japan for the year 1886, compiled and pub lished for the Evangelical Alliance of Japan. I have no doubt its perusal will be interest ing to you, and hence I send it. A great field is “wide open” now, and is becoming wider every year here in Japan for Christian evan gelization. You will observe that the various Evangelical churches of the South are largely represented in the mission ary work of Japan. It is true that there is no sectional or political prejudices mani fested among those devoted men and women from our own and all other Christian lands who have dedicated their lives and labor to the cause of the Master in this wonderful and beautiful land. That is true: yet it is natural that we should wish to see our own particular portion of the great republic more largely represented in the evangeliza tion of these people than at present. South ern Christians seem to have turned their at tention mostly to China, Burmah and India —vast fields, it is true, for this work, but not to be compared to Japan in the present need and urgency, so to speak, of consecrated, edu cated, and self-sacrificing missionary labor. Here are 38,000,000 people on islands con taining not much more than one-half of the area of the State of Texas! The whole country is accessible to the heralds of the cross from all Christian lands. Unlike the Chinese, these people do not cling as to life itself to their ancient political or religious traditions, or faiths of either church or state. Within the past one-third of a cen tury their awakening from a sleep of ages has been marvelous to the Western world, and certainly without a parallel heretofore iu history. In a word, they are ready and willing, in fact, eagerly so," if convinced, to let the scales fall from their eyes and to em brace new thoughts and creeds, whether of government, science or religion. Such a people, just at this special juncture, it seems to me, present the most inviting—urgently inviting—field for this great work of all other Oriental lands. lam very truly yours, Richard B. Hubbard. The following are the dates of Christian societies first sending missionaries to Japan: American Presbyterian church, 1859. Reformed church in America, 1859. Union Presbyterian church of Scotland, 1874. United Church of Christ in Japan, . Reformed church in the United States, 1879. Presbyterian church in the United States, 1885.

Total membership of churches. 14,815, an increase in one year of over 3,000 souls. Total number of Sunday schools, 225; number of scholars, 9,889, an increase in at tendance of 2,870 children. In the empire there are eleven Christian theological schools, having a scholarship of 169. Two more such schools than in 1886 and sixty-seven more students. There are ninety-three native ministers, an increase of thirty-three in twelve months. Unordained preachers and helpers, 166; forty-four colporteurs and sixty-one Bible women. There are eignty-five unmarried female missionaries engaged in the work of evan gelization and seventeen unmarried male apostles. Japan is the country to which all good looking, matrimonially inclined mas culine evangelists should be sent until their number at least equals that of the marriage able lady missionaries. Remembering? a Taunt. Boston letter in the Providence Journal. One of the stories of the sort which formed the staple of subject for a school lit erature now pretty well goneout of fashion, is told concerning the Quincy House and its late proprietor, Mr. J. W. Johnson. It is related by those sometimes entertaining and anon prolix gossips who know nil the old stories which deal with their neighbors, that once Mr. Johnson, then a farmer up the country, came to Boston to sell a load of po tatoes. Such was his ill-luck, however, or the dullness of the market, that at the close of his marketing ho found himself without ready money enough to pay his score at the Quincy House where he had taken a room. There’was talk of retaining the farmer’s horses in pledge for his bill, but Johnson, who was a powerful man, went himself to the stables and harnessed his team, no man daring to interfere with him except by words. The matter terminated for the time being in the regulation manner of tho old comedies. The farmer departed in a fine rage, pursued by the taunts of the employes of the house, which he answered with a vow to own the whole establishment before he died. ... .. From that day his one ambition seemed to be to fulfill his boast, and to this end he labored and saved until —still in the old fashioned comedy fashion —events had been shaped to his will, and his Dluck and persis tence were rewarded bv the actual pos session of the Quincy House, from whoso door he had once been ignominiously driven because he could not pay his bill. For Rickets, Marasmus, and Wasting? Disorders of Children, Scott’s Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphitee is unequaled. The rapidity with which children gain flesh and strength upon it is very wonderful. Head the follow ing: “I have used Scott’s Emulsion in eases of rickets and marasmus of long standing, and have lieen more than pleased with the results, as in every case the improvement was marked.” —J. M. Main, M. D., New York. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JUNE 13. 1887. A FORGED PARDON. How Ed Rice Stole a Fortune and Was in Turn Robbed. From the New York Sun. One of the nerviest pieces of work ever at tempted by a professional crook was that performed by Big Ed Rice eight or ten years ago, he being assisted in the work by Tom Bigelow, of Windsor, Ontario. A pal of Rice had been arrested in Indiana and sent to prison for attempting to pass a forged check on a hank. The sentence was for three years, and the name of the man was Stetson. More than §I,OOO was paid to lawyers to prevent his conviction, but it was a clear case and nothing would save him. It was claimed that it was a case of mistaken identity, and the newspapers dis cussed the affair in a manner to convince many of their readers that Stetson was a much injured man. The sentence was no sooner iu operation than there was talk that the Governor would be appealed to to grant a pardon, and the convict had only served six weeks when it was announced in Indian apolis and Chicago papers that the Governor had agreed to grant a pardon. This was the sly work of Ed Rice with newspaper men. He claimed to be a New York lawyer and attorney of Stetson. Bigelow claimed to be a brother-in-law and a Chicago broker. What was inserted in the papers after the trial was for the benefit of the prison oillcials. It was published only in pajiers that found their way into prison, and Stetson took good care that all knew that he was in daily ex pectation of pardon. He had been in prison about seven weeks when Rice appeared one day and stated to the Warden that the Gov ernor had issued and mailed a pardon, and, indeed, was in the office when the mail was received and the pardon taken from its en velope. The Warden was prepared for the reception of the document. He believed that the Governor had been appealed to and that he looked upon Stetson as an innocent man. The document was in perfect form, the sig nature all right, and but for a trifling inci dent Stetson would have walked out of prison inside of an hour. Someone from Indianapolis, who had business at the prison, came in just as the Warden was looking over the document and remarked that the Governor had beeu absent from the State for several days past and his signature could not be had to several documents. Here was his signature to the pardon attached only the day before at Indianapolis, and the Warden would have been a poor stick not to see that something needed explanation. Rice was cool and collected, and had the other party not been a friend of the Warden his state ment would have passed for a mistake. As it was he determined to investigate before giving Stetson his liberty, and he said to Rice: “If tho Governor was not in Indianapolis yesterday this signature is a forgery. If he was there then the document is all right.” “You can ascertain by telegraph in an hour,” replied Rice. “I nave some business at the bank, and will return in an hour. While I do not see how this document can be questioned, I yet desire you will take every precaution to render yourself safe.” He went out to take a train out of the city, and be heard of no more, and inside of an hour it was known that the paper was a forgery. Bigelow had accomplished his part of the work in a successful manner, but Rice had failed through a trifling circumstance. There was an official investigation into the matter, or rather one was begun and then zealously hushed up. There was no question as to the forgery of the Governor’s signature, but how Bigelow got the blank pardon and seal of the State was a mystery. There had been no breaking and entering, and those who knew of the case came to the conclusion that bribery had brought tilings about. A certain employe of the State who had access to the Governor’s office suddenly left for Texas or somewhere else, and the matter soon died out, Stetson served thirteen months of his sentence, and then shammed sickness and escaped from the hospital. This same Rice and Stetson did a very bold piece of work in Philadelphia about six years ago, the lay being entirely differ ent. Rice had some stolen bonds he was anxious to dispose of. They were the public improvement bonds of some Ohio city, and for some reason the party losing them had not notified brokers and bankers of their loss. Rice, dressed as a fanner, entered a stock broker’s office and said that he had taken the bonds in exchange for some Virginia coal lands’, and was only a few minutes convert ing them into cash. At the time of his visit a wealthy widow was in the office inquiring if she had not better sell certain United States bonds and invest in land mortgages. Rice heard her name mentioned, and he heai-d the broker advise her to sell. When she went away he piped her home, and that afternoon he called at the house as the con fidential clerk of Bond & Cos., looked over the securities and gave her a receipt, and took away with him §14,000 worth of bonds, were negotiated liefore noon the next day. He was all alone in both jobs, and now, having about §25.000 in his possession, he determined to take a trip to Euroi. He changed his money for gold and secured a passage for Liverpool. Luck had singularly favored him in his undertaking, but now it as strangely deserted him. He desired to keep his monej’ under his own eye instead of placing it in the purser’s keeping. With the exception of a few hundred dollars, he. stowed it away in his trunk, and on the fourth day out this receptacle wasopened by false keys"and every do! lar taken out. The ship was raided from the stem to stem, and tin) people kept under the strictest suveil lance, but Rice never received a dollar of it back. Two weeks alter tie landed in England the police arrested a swindler with a large amount of gold in his possession, but Rico dared not seek to identify it for fear of be ing arrested himself. SEEN IN ENGLAND. Memoranda From the Diary of a Phila delphia Youth on His Travels. From the Philadelphia News. At the Crystal Palace I saw Little All Right, the Jap, who was once with Fore paugh’s show. He is the star attraction at the palace this week. On the church door in London is the ad vertisement of a clergyman who makes a specialty of marrying people at low rates. The prices are given on the placard. Hint for Camden preachers. “A good bed for 4d. (Bc.) a night,” is a sign displayed in many places. They seem to be pretty kind to their cats over here. I saw a mail going around in a wagon selling “cut’s meat, and the same is generally advertised by butchers. In Covent Garden Market there are exposed for sale (and in other markets, too) mussels, periwinkles, snails and other qWer things to eat. The snails are very cheap, and seem popular. These people would eat any- thing. I learned that the Prince and Princess of Wales would be on exhibitioiu to-day, and as it is Ul}' duty to gaze upoi# their royal highnesses I loafed around Charing •toss until tho appointed time. Flags ing, with the stare and stripes among I had ft good view of the celebrated man anH his celebrated wife. A plain every-day suit! of idothes. just like any gentleman’s, was what the Prince wore. Neither had any of those glittering garments with which (in plays and booksi royalty is supjiosed to be encumbered. The ceremony was tho open ing of the churchyard of St. Martin’* in the Fields, and the ’placing of some benches there for folks to *it on. The Prince made some remarks, hut 1 didn’t quite catch them, and then he retired to his cairlage through a double line of soldiers. What a nuisance it must be for the royal family to have to come to every little affair like this, and what a how-de-do the English make over it Saturday the Queen will drive through the principal streets of “the city.” starting at 1 o’clock, and from tlrnt hour until her return no vehicles of any kind, other than those used by her and her party, will be allowed on those busy street*. After the public had lieen allowed to sit down in the churchyard I started on a twelve and a half mile walk to Harrow-on-the-Hill. At Marble Arch, Hyde Park, I scratched my back. If you don’t scratch your back there you will die a fool. Alter walking all the way to Harrow I was not allowed to enter the school building and had to be satisfied with looking at the play ground and the exterior of the building. Leal mean. v . On my way back, alter going seven miles, I thought I would putin U> balance of the day at the American Exhibition in Earls Court, West Brampton. Asking my way thither I fourtdht was aliouti four minis by the road. After going around Robin litxxi* v barn and several othycs, I got there. Buffalo Bill and his Wild Trf4t are the cWbU'fea tures. The avenues in the grounds are named Cleveland, Washington, Franklin, and Lincoln. The type-writing exhibits attracted great crowds. The type-writers seem to be quite a novelty over here. Tho usual devices to please and tempt Americans were on hand, including an American bar where you cat) buy all sorts of queer mixtures with queer names at high prices. The American is she name of a daily newspaper printed on tho grounds. There was a machine which will cut. singe or shampoo your hair in a jiffy. What fun! Tho Wild West show is of the sort seen in ordinary American circuses, and the band played American times. I shouldn’t like to be weat her clerk in Eng land. It rains one minute and the sun comes out the next. The sun seems to owe the Eng lish people a grudge. A DIAMOND BETRAYED HIM. How Burton, tho Stage Robber, Was Finally Captured. Prom the Kansas City Journal. The publications of the adventures of Burton, the noted stage robber, in the East ern pa pei-s recalls the history of his capture. Capt. W. L. Richardson, of this city, was the man who captured him. In speaking of the matter yesterday he said: “One day I was in Pueblo, when news came that the mysterious bandit had robbed a stage just outside of Alamosa about dusk the night before, and, after taking between s*>,- 000 and £7,000, boldly rode into the town ahead of the despoiled coach. Knowing the nature of the man, I suspected he would come to Pueblo and I determined to catch him and catch him alone. “A singular freak of Burton’s was to wear an immense diamond shirt-stud when ever he held up a coach, and may a victim’s eyes had been dazzled by this cruel display while his pockets were being emptied. I determined to watch for that diamond. About 1 o’clock p. m. the train from Alamosa pulled in and among the passengers was a a well-built man, fairly dressed, with a cap pulled over his eyas. He walked toward the depot door in a manner that attracted my attention and I intercepted him. “ ‘lfifur name is so and so,’ said I. “ ‘No it isn’t’, was the reply. “ ‘Yes it is,’ I returned. He denied it again and I said carelessly: “ ‘Well, I guess you’re right.’ “As I was talking to him I saw the fa mous diamond. I was sure that a man who would rob a stage full of miners single-hand ed would fight. I covered him and told him to throw up his hands. Ho hesitated a moment. I though I would have to kill him, blithe finally weakened and confessed. I then secured all the money and sent him up to Denver. When near Tombstone he re ceived permission to go to the closet, ami took advantage of the chance to loan through the window. The train was stopped, backed down, rad Burton was reoapurod. After his heavy sentence and while on his way to the Detroit House of -Correction he again leaped from the train and nearly succeeded in escaping, but that part of the story is too well known to bear repetition. “The worst adventure I ever had with this class of robbers, who are now hardly ever heard from, was in 1883 in Texas, neap Colorado City, and a true account, of it has never appeared in print before, I believe. I had been appointed to a position in the secret service and given tho task of breaking up the Donovan gang of stage and mail rob bers. Tfttfre were thirteen members, some of thfjm of whom had been with Bam Bass. They W*e a deperate lot and committed many rtWirdbre, among which was that of an inoffensive traveler ond his wife. They hid in tfe Jfalpena Mountains in holes and caves that were almost impossible to dis cove, but one day we found seven of them in a blind 'banon and besieged them. I had seven Textts rangers with me and deter mined to make them come out and fight. After lying before the entrance of the canon three or four da vs they made their appear ance and opened fire. We were about 400 feet apart and that is point-blank range with a Winchester when a dead shot is working the pump-handle. One of the rangers was wounded and another one skulk ed, but we made the riflle after an hour’s fighting. They surrendered and we found we had killed two of their party, Elias Courtrigbt and a man named Dean. Two of the worst of the gang, J. Walker, the two Donovans, Johnson, and Carter, were sent up for life. 1 was shot through the right shoulder, but kept right on until an other ball caught me in the arm. 1 was laid up fourteen months from the effect, of the wounds.” The Beginning of His Prosperity. From the Detroit Free Press. An Alabamian, who is worth ?!00, 000 to-day, was asked how he got his start when the war closed. "Do you mean what was the first thing I did ?” he replied. “Yes.” “Well. I headed across the country for Hclma. When I got within 10 miles of the town I stopped at a house for dinner. It was a place owned by an old chap who did a heap of blowing to egg the Confeder aey on, but had not gone to war himself. He wanted to charge me it dollar green back for the meal. I offered him §20,900 in Confederate money. He got mad, and I said: ‘Here, old man, is tho money you helped to make, and I'm carrying around two bullets shot into me in the waj- you helped bring on. Now come out here!’ He came out, and I set to and gave him tho worst licking an old fire-eater ever got, ond when he hollered ‘enough’ I threw tho money into the fire and walked off. That’s the first thing I did after the war, and that’s what I date my prosperity from.” MEDICAL.
