2 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. An Engine and Several Cars Plunge Down an Embankment. Lawrence, Kan., Sept. 4.--About 11 o’clock Friday night a terrible accident oc curred ntthe junction of the IxNivenworth branch of the Union Pacific railroad with the main line, some miles from this city, which resulted in the death of three men. A coal train was coming over the line from Havenw.irtli, and 1 ad almost reached the junction before the engineer discovered that the switch had not been turned to nllotv the train to run out on the main truck. The locomotive and several cat's plunged from the track down the embankment Engineer K. Muitdeu was instantly killed. Fireman Frank Davis received injuries from which he died u few heut s later. The head brake man, Tom Brown, was also killed Seven cars were thrown from the track. The oaljoonc and several cars remained on the rails.

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. Charles J. Roskbault. 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 the marketing knowledge of scientists. What the laborer aud w hat most of us need more than technical essavs on the “Physio logical atul Feeundary Economy of Foal’’ is a plain talk about sensible feeding and economical marketing. “How to Live and Thrive on a Dime (ier Day” may stand as the text for this talk, j It certainly can be done, anil, though the | experiment may lie uninviting, it is certain | that good health is nearer akin to the sim ! plost diet than to the costliest. I Now as to the tailoring men and his pro ; teine.

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. Oliver H. G. Leigh. 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 signed to-day for Colonels [names omitted], 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 vation, due to the Colonels mentioned. 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 ing, and Editor Estuva, of the National, E reposes to throw more light on the subject y inqiortant interviews. 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 ment of an equitable indemnity lo the suf fevers, who are in a helpless condition and ON Indigent.

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 lows have quit, so I understand. Of course they unit voluntarily.” “Of course; so they did. I happen to know. Jim A. ate away a year after "college. Then he began to curl up with rheumatism. It finally got up into tne back of his head, and under prospective softening of the bruin he laid out of work for three years.

John I), had a stroke of apoplexy one day, and knew nothing from Friday noon until the next Tuesday. Wednesday he quit smoking. Oh, yes, all the boys quitof their own wills, just as everybody does. “Now I've told you why 1 had to stop. What was really at the bottom of your free, independent resolution to do the same?” ‘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.

And just then a carriage no* stop|ied at the gate and two fashionably dressed women passed out and into the house, Brakemen Strike.
