SOCIETY OF ST. MICHAEL.
Imposing- Services in the Church at
Chicago.
Chicago, Sept. 4.—A huge triumphal arch
of flowers, surmounted by a crown with the
plain figures of a cross, was the centre of a
throng of thousands this morning at the
entrance to St. Michaels Hall on North
avenue. The buildings surrounding
were so decked with garlands
and streamers as to be hid
front view. Inside St. Michael's the deco
rations were equally profuse, the most con
spicuous objects being three portrait' in
front of the stage, representing Pope
President Cleveland and Archbishop Fee
tan. The proceedings begun with an ad
dress of welcome by Mayor Roche to the 300
delegates present. He predicted for the
organization an honored place in the history
of the country for its great work of benevo
lence and charity. President Spaunhorst,
of St. Ivouis, replied, thanking the Mayor
and alluding to the steady growth of the
society, already one of the roost powerful
benevolent societies in the United States.
He dwelt‘upon the objects of the society
benevolence aud charity—and then, doubt
less referring to the rumors of antagonism
between the Irish Catholics and their Her
man co-religionists, said: “We are
not here for any purpose but to consult
upon the best means by which
the most good can be done
to the members to promote their
interests and the interests of those depend
ing upon them. Our purpose is not and
never has been national rivalry or strife.
Therefore, ail allusions, sometimes harshly
made, about a fight between those of differ
ent nationalities, but of the same faith, are
ridiculous and out of the question for dis
cussion in any of the meetings to be held here
this week. Questions of discipline and or
der in our church are not submitted to
societies of laymen for their discussion.
Such matters are regulated by thoso in
authority, and. if occasion requires, may
be finally settled by the Propaganda.”
The delegates then proceed to St. Michael's
church, which was already crowded almost
to suffocation. The interior of the church
was gorgeously decorated with drapery and
flowers, the altars especially being nearly
invisible in a wreath of blossoms aud wav
ing leaves. Hundreds of candles shed
a bright light over all and
surrounded w-ith a circle of Are
pictuures of the crucifix, Christ, and of
St. Michael. DetachmentS*of the Knights
of Ht. George and St. Joseph marched
into the church and formed a passage,
through which the priests entered in their
robes. Pontiflcial high maas was cele
brated by Bishop Vertin, of Marquette,
Mich., and Bishop Wigger, of Newark, N.
J. preached. His utterances were a plea
for a religious school as against the existing
peculiar institutions for the education of
the youth of the country.
NEW YORK'S SOCIALISTS.
Three Hundred Delegates Hold a Po
litical Conference.
New- York. Sept. 4. —Over eighty organi
lations, including fifty-six trades organiza
tions, nineteen assembly district clubs and
five purely Socialistic societies sent three
delegates each to a conference of Socialists
in Webster Hall, in this city, to-day-. These
were nearly all from this city and Brooklyn
and Buffalo. Several trades and Socialistic
organizations of New- Jersey, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania sent dele
gates, but they were not admitt<>d
as the conference was of New York
State labor men who had been read out of
the United labor party at the Syracuse
convention. There were about 300 men
present. Among those present were editor
Shevtßcb, of the Leader, editor Jonas, of
the Volks Zeituna, towrenee Gronland,
Edward King, William Penn Rogers,
Thomas O’Neil, Daniel S. Jacobs, Col. Hln
ton, Hugo Voght, Edward Goldschmidt and
E. H. Nichols, all conspicuous last fall as
leaders of the United Labor Party and pro
moters of the Henry- George movement.
ALLEGED VOTING STRENGTH.
The Socialists claim to have polled 30.000
of the 6AOOO votes for George last fall.
George Block, Secretary of the National
Bakers’ Union, presided and Col. Hinton
and Ernest Bohn w ere secretaries,
A committee of fifteen with Edward
Goldschmidt ns chairman passed on the
credentials of the delegates, only five con
tests being found. These were referred to a
committee of five who will report at a
future meeting.
Speeches were made by Editor Srhevitch,
Edward King. Thomas O’Neal. William
Penn Rogers and others. Mr. King had
just returned from a tour weeks’ vacation,
which, he said, he hud spent in t he country,
where he had worked in the field, getting
his board in payment. He had returned
with a more exalted idea of the intelligence
of the farmers. Henry George and his
friends could not fool the farmers, he said.
A PLATFORM TO BE BUILT.
A committee of fifteen was elected by
the conference to prepare a platform for the
party, the Central Labor Union platform
of last fall to be used os the basis of the
new declaration of faith. This committee
will report at the next meeting, which
was appointed for Thursday even
ing. Tne Secretary was instructed
to notify all the socialistic and
labor organizations in the State to send
tfvee delegates each to the conference at
Webster Hall Thursday.
At the conference to-day- cheers and ap
plause greeted each mention of the name of
John Swinton, and he is evidently the favor
ite as candidate for Secretary of SQite.
BY A PRIEST.
McGlynr. and George Denounced from
the Pulpit.
New York, Sept. 4. —Father Oonsidine,
Spiritual Director of the seminary at Troy,
preached a sermon at fit. Mary's Homan
Catholic cathedral this morning, anil
certain utterances therein incensed many
friends of Dr. McGlynn who wore
present. Without mentioning any names he
said that a certain person of some notoriety,
n proud aud disobedient disciple of the
church was aided by a self-esteemed, self
raised prophet. “The old crusade w-as
blessed by the Vicar of Jesus Christ—the
Pope—but the new crusade teaches the jmor
to have revenge on those whom G<xl lias
blessed with more of the fruits of the earth.
Those who advocate these doctrines are
wills-o'-the-wisp aud wolves in sheep’s
clothing.” These utterances were freely
commented on after the sermon was
finished, and were loudly condemned by
Dr. McGlynn’s admirers
THREE DEAD ON THE TRACK.

| SENATOR EVARTS' MEAT BILLS.
What Pierre Lorillard and James Gor
don Bennett Pay to Their Butchers.
New York, Sept. 3.—1 met a fat, jolly
looking Irishman in the office of a friend of
; mine the oAer day, who impressed me
strongly- by his heartiness. After he had
j gone out I asked my friend who he was.
“You will probably be surprised," re
turned my friend, “but that, man is well
known to some of the most prominent men
in New York, and has had very intimate
dealings with them. Among these maybe
mentioned Pierre Isirillard, James Gordon
Bennett, Senator Evarts, and I don’t know
how many others: enough, anyhow, to put
liini on speaking terms with three-quarters'
of the men whose names are familiar to
everybody."
Something in the tone of his voice and in
the rather amused smile that accompanied
it made me push my inquiries further. The
man who was supposed to know everybody
worth knowing had not the distinguished
air usually worn by such personages.
I was not, therefore, so much surprised as
I would otherwise have been, when I learned
that he was Kelly, the butcher. The rest
of his name was said to lie immaterial, but
not to know Kelly, the butcher, was, I was
assured, to argue one’s self unknown. For
years he and his father before him kept a
butcher shop at University place and Thir
teenth street. Here were cut the juicy
chops and the tender steaks, and from here
were sent the delicate fowl and game that
bawi tie,Tied the palates and pleased and
satisfied the stomachs of a generation of the
wealthy-and prominent of New York’s citi
zens. Catering to the stomachs of these
patricians Kelly- learned certain interesting
characteristics of each, and some of these
he imparted to my friend, also his patron,
wlio in turn related them to tne.
Senator Evarts. according to his meat
man, is very particular as to the flesh he
eats. Although his face looks like a piece
of parchment, and has no more color in it,
yet he indulges in rare steaks and roast
lieef, meats that contain the most blood. He
is very particular about them also. His
cook selects the meat ten days in advance of
the time it is wanted for the table, and has
it cut off m his presence. Then Kelly puts
it into his ice box, where it remains until it
is sent to the Senator.
The Senator has the proper idea in this,
and tt would be well if other persons fol
lowed his example.
The old Beefstake Club, which has its
rooms on East Broadway and the members
of which are well-known politicians and
professional men, did the same thing for
years. For two weeks previous to their
dinner large, juicy steaks were hung up in
a room set aside for this purpose, and when
they were finally- brought on to the table
they were as tender as butter and of greatly
improved flavor. After hanging that way
the surface of the meat 1 incomes black, but
the inside does not change color. The sur
face has to be cut, off nefore it is used.
Kelly- understands the Senator’s wants so
thoroughly- that when the latter goes to
Washington to attend the sessions of Con
gress he sends hisorders for meat to Kelly,
and he forwards it to him packed in ice.
Pierre Lorillard is one of Kelly’s best
patrons, and one who has stuck to him since
he moved up town. His bill for meat alone
when he is at his town residence sometimes
reaches S7OO a month and averages SSOO. It
would lie impossible for any family to
spend that amount for meat even with a
house full of guests, but Lorillard, like Ben
nett, is a high liver, and aims to secure deli
cacies for his guests that make a visit at his
house a much coveted privilege.
His orders are such, sometimes, that it
makes it necessary to spoil large quantities
of meat or fowl to get at, the particular part
he desires. Thus, for instance, when he
orders ten imunds of chicken breast, a great
many chickens would have to be cut up to
supply that amount. He would, of course,
lie charged just as much as though he had
ordered that number of chickens. Jt is very
profitable for the butcher, undoubtedly, in
asmuch as he can sell those parts of the
chicken that have not been used and in that
wav get double pay tor the same article.
When it comes to orders of a like nature
in regard to the more expensive game,tas
canvasback ducks, grouse and so forth, the
orders amount to large sums. Lorillard is
is a hard customer to suit, though, for while
he does not grumble at the bills he wants
what he orders on the moment and will not
take any excuse.
Bennett is probably the most extravagant
of all. He has not been in New York for
some years now, but there is no reason to
believe that he has grown any more eeonom
ical since he went abroad, even though his
newspaper has lost so much in circulation.
His household was run on the most extrava
gant scale in every- respect. He paid a man
in one of the oyster saloons to remain up all
night, in readiness to propare oysters for nim
at any time he might desire them. His
orders to his butcher exoeeded in extrava
gance those of all the other nabobs, and
SI,OOO a month went into the coffers of
Kelly-, the butcher, from this source alone.
His servants lived on the fat of the land,
for his orders for supplies w-ere on such a
grand scale that a large portion of the food
brought into the house had to he thrown
away daily-. While his father, the man
who made the fortune his son attempted to
but could not dissipate, lived the servants
were held in some sort of check, but even
then they had a pleasant lime of it. Every
morning this order came down for the old
man’s breakfast: toast, aud tea. These slices
of toast, stamped in nrtistic shapes, and a
I>ot of tea would be sent up to him, while
the servants below dined on porterhouse
steaks, lamb chops, broiled chicken and
other choice viands.
Many of Kelly’s patrons ha ve gone abroad
in these later years and some are dead, but,
he is full of stories about them, and can
laugh as heartily as any one at the eccen
tricities and follies characteristic of the
aristocratic money princes with whom his
business made him acquainted.

HOW TO LIVE ON XOc. A DAY.
What Kind of Food a Man Needs to
Keep Him Strong.
New York, Sept. 3.—At the gathering
of scientists in Columbia < College u learned
Professor fascinated lvis superintellectual
hearers by telling them that a laboring man
“needs daily one-fourth pound of proteine,
one-fourtli pouud fit, and a pound of carbo
hydrates’’ to keep him well and strong. If
the knowledge-seeking laborer goes to the
store for his four ounces of proteine his ex
periment will scarcely increase his faith in

take the dyspepsia. Pit}- he doesn't.
Just a fact or two as appetizers. The
great Peninsular and Oriental ithe P. & O.)
.Steamship Company employ East Indian
coolies to do the "hardest work on their
steamers, because they are stronger,
healthier and stand the climate lietter than
Englishmen, and tiecause —not lieing meat
eaters—their diet costs only 6c. per day.
There are miners in the English coal pits,
the hardest workers in the land, who have
not eaten any kind of meat for years. I am
not a vegetarian, because I honker after
the fleshpots, and their savory odors cast a
spell over my innocent, soul; yet I experi
mented for one whole year without tasting
flesh or gravy in any form, and all the
time my health was perfect and my weight
increased. The dock porters of Constanti
nople carry heavier burdens, 250 pounds and
upwards, more easily than the laborers of
England or America, yet their main diet is
bread and figs, and they are teetotal and
vegetarian. The laborers in Spain live
chiefly on bread and onions, and are mar
velously strong.
The flesh and blood suiiei-stition is quite
as toneless in diet as in theology. A horse
is almost as strone, swift, healthy and hand
some as a two-legged man, and they both
have the same internal machinery; the one
eats beef and enjoys dyspepsia, the other j
avoids it and flourishes Ten cents worth
of wheat, oatmel, rice, fruits, buttermilk,
bread, cheese, onions, or portions of several
of these, will enable a man to do his ordi
nary day’s work at least as well as any
other assortment of foods he can buy for a
dollar.
What would be a good diet for those who
do not need to study their purses, yet who
would like a simple, healthy and enjoyable
dietary? To such I would say drop the
heavy meat breakfast right away. Not
that meat is bad, but it is not the "best to
start the day on. It distends the stomach,
indisposes ns for head work, and often leads
to that other downright mischievous stu
pidity. the 11 o’clock tieer or cocktail. The
second evil is taken to cure the first, ns if
two black eyes are better than one. Bread
(not the spoiled, white stuff, but the natural
dark colored wheat as ground), tea or cocoa,
eggs, and the hundred and one non-flesh
dishes, with a little fish and as much fruit
as yon like. That’s a model meai, as experi
ence will prove.
Talking of fish the more the better. Pound
for pound it is as nutritious as flesh, though
it doesn’t seem to fill us so fully, and its
chemical valfle is above that of meats.
When I have extra hard brain work to do,
say an average of twelve or fourteen hours
for two or three weo*-s at a stretch, 1 knock
off meats entirely aud eat all the fish I can.
Hcsult, perfect health and strength and no
headaches.
For dinner, fish, soups (I am not exclud
ing meat, though soups can be made with
out it that tastes just the same and are quite
as good every wav), puddings, desert. If
any one cares to prove for himself how little
the flesh dishes on his dinner table are nec
essary to him, let him just reverse the
courses, beginning with the fruit, then
cheese anil crackers, the puddings, etc. I
warrant he will turn up his nose at the
meat when he comes to it, and he won’t miss
it in the least.
1 knew an eminent lady who for forty
years had never tasted meat. She was a
marvel of mental and ph3’sical strength.
Another author friend kept his health and"
his average weight of 100 pounds on a diet
that never included meat, the average cost
of his food being only 6c. per day. An
other well known literary man, who looked a*
beefy as a butcher, was. when last I met
him, in his eighth year of strict abstinence
from flesh. Another friend, a hard literary
worker, has lieen practically a life-long
vegetarian, but he looks too shriveled up to
be a champion specimen.

WAS MAXIMILIAN A COWARD?
A Question Which is Just Now Inter
esting Mexicans.
City of Mexico, Sept. 4.—As nn addi
tional piece of evidence on the controversy
regarding Maximilian’s conduct at Quere
taro, the following note, purporting to be
the autograph of the Emperor, is published
to-day.
“Queketaro, June 18, 1867.
“The two drafts of SIOO,OOO which 1

and which are to lie paid by the Imperial
House and family of Austria at Vienna, are
only valid on the day of my complete sal

Maxmilian.”
It is seen by the Spanish original -hat the
construction follows the rules of the French
language in one place, and that the goneral
construction is not according to the genius
of the Spanish language. The note is writ
ten on a piece of common, thin, yellowish
paper. The signature is said by the editor
of the Monitor Nepnblicano to be an exact
facsimile of that of Maxmilian, as ascer
tained by the examination of State papers.
The question which agitates the Mexican
press may be reduced to this: Was Muxi
mtlian a coward trying to save his life at
all hazards, and in defiance of all honor
able rules of conduct, or are the letters to
Lopez and this memorandum forgeries? The
matter is growing more and more interest

THE OUTRAGE IN JAPAN.
Innocent Natives Killed and Wounded
by Shells from Our War Ship Omaha.
From the New York Sun.
Nagasaki, Japan, July 31.— The Naval
Court of Inquiry, which has been in session
hero for a month past, investigating the
killing of four and the wounding of seven
Japanese fishermen on the island of Ikes
hima in March last, by careless target prac
tice from the United tstates steamer Omaha,
has concluded its la tore. The court has
looked into every detail of the disaster.
Capt. Selfridge, who commanded the Onm
ha, was accused of being responsible for the
gross violation ol international lew, the
loss of life, the suffering of the w ounded,
and the outrage upon an unoffending ami
friendly people.
While the proceedings of the court and its
findings have not been made public, the
evidence shows that Cant. Selfridge did not
take the necessary and projier precautions
to see t hat it would lie dangerous to fire
when tha Omaha did; that he appeared not
to have determined to tire at. this place until
about opposite the cliff, and then proceeded
at mire to target practice; that tne people
and their cultivated fields were in full view,
and were seen from the deck of the ship, a.i
stated by Capt. Solfridge in his report; that
before the firing togan the Captain was in
formed by an officer that Japanese smalt
boats were in the line of fire, and that he re
plied: “They will get out of the way quickly
when my shells begin falling among them;"
that he was informed during the practice
that an officer saw an unexploded shell
: going over the bluff, but that no attention
was paid to it.
From the testimony of the natives it was
proven that, many pices of shell fell into I he
village, anil some even went entirely over
] the island and into the water. One piece of
j shill struck the cooking stove of a man who
was engaged in preparing fo. il. Six unex
| plisled nine-inch shells were found in the
Helds between the bluff and the village.
, The father and mother of one of the young
J men of the four killed have both become
I insane from grief at the loss of their only
i child. The wounds of the woman who lost
I both iegs have not entirely healed, nor has
I the wound of the man who lost one of his
| legs. The 12-year-old tov who was so horri
bly mutilated is still in the hospital here.
It, is asserted here that the United States
government will to railed upon for the pay

CHARLESTON ITEMS.
Excursionists Returning— Traces of the
Earthquake Erased.
Charleston, Sept. 3—To-day over
1,503 Charlestonians returned to their homes
and to work, The mountain excursionists
who left on Aug. 17 about 1,000 strong, are
all tock, their tickets expiring to-day, while
the cotton men and the wealthy tourists,
who have been doing the swell watering
places and the bon ton Virginia springs, are
all homeward bound.
After all the earthquake of a year ago
resulted in some benefits to Charleston.
There is to-day hardly a trace of it to to
found m a city which a short twelve months
ago was so absolutely in ruins that it would
have been impossible, almost, to
drive a horse aud buggy through
any of its principal thoroughfares. Twelve
months ago the reporters who went out to
record wont had taken place ha/1 to nick
their way through masses of debris, and the
merchants who, on the morning of Hept. 3,
1886, determined to reopen their stores had
to excavate footpaths from the store doors
to the middle of the roadway, The city
has been entirely rebuilt, and that, too, in
totter form than before the earthquake.
During the twelve months over $4,000,000,
a moderate estimate, lias been spent
in improving real estate. Of this about. sl,-
000,000 was contributed by the big-hearted
people of America. Twenty two hundred
houses of needy’ people were repaired out of
the relief fund at a cost of about $640,000.
The churches got about $300,000, and the
property owners themselves spent about
$3,000,00*. in which is included the cost of
about 300 new buildings erected during the
year. So that after all, the earthquake of
1886 may prove to to a blessing in disguise.
a bright outlook.
Everything to-day looks bright for
Charleston. A glance at the trade review
to be published by the News and Courier,
shows that there has been an increase in the
banking capital anil bank deposits, also an
increase in the capital invested in manufac
turing enterprises, anil a corresponding in
crease in the annual product. The truck
farmers have had a fairly prosperous year,
and the wholesale merchants have also done
well. The weather is charming, cotton is
beginning lo move, the wharves are tiecom
ing again populous, and everything looks
favorable for a prosperous fall.
THE RIVERSIDE RAILROAD
project which received such a black eye
from one of the wharf owners, has been re
vived, and it is not improbable that a start
will be made shortly. The plans have been
curtailed somewhat. The road will be built
as far south as Market street, it is said,
(which will let the objecting wbarf owuer
out,) and the road probably extended later
on.

HERE AND THERE.
There have been no developments in the
Croghan murder, the “clue” alluded to in
this correspondence having fallen through.
The readers of the Morning News who
are in the habit of visiting Sullivan’s Island,
will be glad to learn that by next season a
bridge will be constructed connecting the
Islam! w ith the main land, so that in the
event of cyclones there will be a means of
ret) eat by terra firma.
The city is now carrying on improvements
in the shape of new public buildings to the
amount of $70,000. This includes anew hos
pital, $4,.’500; anew police station, $10,000;
anew fire engine station $15,000,
and repairs to city hall, alms house and
other public buildings about *70,009. The
money ta not contributed by i lie tax payers,
however. One hundred thousand dollars of
it was contributed from the earthquake re
lief fund, with the consent of the contrib
utors and $70,000 was realized from the
sale of the old guard house or police station
to the government for a post office and cus
tom house.
It is rumared upon prettv good authority
that the old Adger Line of New York steam
ships will soon be re-established.
Not So Vary Voluntary.
fYom the Chicago Mail.
I met a college classmate the other night.
We had not seen each other for twelve
years. After the tangled and lost lines had
been gathered tip a little, he suddenly asked,
“Why don’t you smoke?” I told him I had
quit several years ago, anil gave him the
reason.
“I did not have to quit,” he said: “just
got tired of the thing. The fact is that
when a man gets past 30, even a little, he
l*-gins to drop a lot of boyish habit*.”
“True enough,” I replied, “but it is
equally true that 90 per cent, of such aban
doned habits come through necessity.”
“Bosh! Why, there’s Jim A., who used
to eat tobacco like bread; George 8., who
always put his fine-cut box under his pillow
so as to have it handy and not lose any time
in the morning; John D.. who smoked fif
teen cigars a liny and chewed a 10c. plug of
Climax dtiriug intervals. All of these fel

they unit voluntarily.”
“Of course; so they did. I happen to know.

‘Well, to tell the straight truth,’he said
in a whisper, 'I had become so badly de
bilitated with dyspepsia that water had to
i to diluted before my stomach could retain
it.’” ___
Crooked Legs Made Strai. ht.
From the Chicago Mail.
“If you won’t use my nunie, or that of
the people I will introduce you to,” said one
of those fellows who always have some
thing to spring, “I will take you to a place
where anew cure is offered." And we
jogged along to a frame house over on
Green street, south of Madison, and went
in. A man who looked like a Dtmkard
came in response to the card that had torn
sent up, anil it was soon told that his
business was that of curing bow-legs.
When he learned that neither of nis
callers had any such deformity he shut up
like a clam, at least so for us the nature
of his cure was concerned. But he con
fessed that he had many jiatienU. “My
wife,” he said, “attends to the Indies, and
she nas several patients. One is a pronii
rant society luay, who was a iliseiple of the
Delsarte school, and when her instructress
failed to make her proficient in walking or
sitting the poor woman, who is very amb : -
tious, wept and confessed she was bow leg
ged. Bhe heard of iny wife and our plans,
and is now a patient liere. Do we always
cure? Not always. There are stubtorn
bmv legs the same a* stubborn dis
eases. We have a good many young la
dies who aspire to the stage, and you
know, perha]Ms, no woman can act well
whose limbs are ill-shaped. Where did I
learn iny business? In Philadelphia. There
are more bow-legged women in Chicago than
in any city 1 ever lived in. I can’t explain
it, and to toll you the truth I can t say any
more than T have. It it a business that
doesn’t require any advertising. Women
wouldn’t to seen coming in here if they
knew my business. We cure one person
and she confides it confidential ly to an
other." And just then a carriage no*
stop|ied at the gate and two fashionably
dressed women passed out and into the
house,
