rate of 35 cents a week, $1 for a month or
$2 50 for three months, cash invariably in
advance. The address may be changed as

In about four weeks the Morning News
will begin the publication of anew story
entitled “The Curse of Carne’s Hold,”
a story of adventure. The story will be
enjoyed by all classes of readers. Their
sympathies will be at once aroused in the
characters first introduced to their notice,
and in the circumstances attending a
lamentable catastrophe, which breaks up u
happy household in grief and despair. The
hero ot the story, broken-hearted and de
spairing, flees to the Cape, determined, if
possible, to lose his life in battle. He j nns the
Cape Mounted Rifies and in active service
finds the best solace for his dejected spirits.
Romance is again infused into his life by
bis success in rescuing from the Kaffirs a
young and beautiful lady, whom be gal
lantly bears on horseback bevond reach of
their spears. From this point the story
takes up novel and startling developments.
The hero’s affairs in the old country are
adjusted by a surprising discovery, and
“The Curse of Carne’s Hold” is brought to
E happy and satisfactory conclusion.
The author of the story is Mr. G. A.
Henty, who possesses in an eminent degree
the ability to produce storiei full of thrilling
situations, while at the same time preserv
ing and Inculcating a high moral tone
throughout Asa writer of stories fitted
for the home circle he is surpassed by none.
He has a vivid and picturesque stvle of nar
rative, and we have reason to say “The
Curse of Carne’s Hold” —our forthcoming
Story—is written in his very best style.
It looks as if Woolf oik would have to
hang; the jury says he is guilty.
It seems that we are to ’ear a good deal
more about the Chandler-Blackburn af
fair.
Mr. Rice, Gov. Hill’s private secretary,
has resigned. It would seem from this that
Mr. Rice doesn’t think Gov. Hill will ever
be President.
The attention of the republican organs
which want the negro to rule iu the south is
called to the action of the negroes in Liberty
county, Georgia, who are leaving their
homes to follow a craz r negro clai ning to
be Christ. What kind of rulers would these
people make, and wherein are they loss
civilized tnan the generality of their race in
the south?
Another American woman is about to
make her debut iu London as an acti ess.
She is Mrs. Alice Chapin Ferrin, a sister
of Mayor Chapin, of Brooklyn. As an ama
teur actress in the last named city she was
a favorite, but her success as a professional
hoed not be considered insured on that ac
count. It is to be hoped that_ Mrs. Ferrin
will not depend more upon costume* than
upon acting for success.
One Reason for an Extra Session.
The New York Press has given at dif
ferent times several rea*ons for an extra
session of congress, but the one it gives in
its Sunday’s issns is, apparently, in its opin
ion, the strongest. It is that the appropria
tion for pensions is exhausted. Of course,
pensioners will have to do without their
money until the appropriation for the next
fiscal year becomes availab e. which will be
on July L The Press, however, is afraid
that the appropriation for the next fiscal
year will cot be sufficient to meet the de
mands upon it, and thinks that congress
cannot consider this matter too soon.
It is not to be wondered at that the pen
sion appropriation is exhausted. and nobody
will be surprised if the appropriation for
the next fiscal year is exhausted long before
the end of the year. Tte New York Press
criticises the democrats of the last Hiuse
for not mak.ng toe appropriation lirger.
It would not have insulted the com
mon sense of the country, howerer, if.
instead of holding the democrats of the last
H use responsible for the deficiency, it had
placed the blame for it where it belongs,
viz.: Upon the President and the commis
sioner of pensiore—upon the President for
appointing Corporal Tanner commissioner,
and up >n Tanner for the reckless and waste
ful manner in which he is conducting the
pension bu eau.
The wonder is not that there is a deficit,
tut that there was not a deficit weeks ago.
If the reports about the management of the
pension bu re i u are true the bureau is
virtually in toe hands of two or three pen
sion sharks, who are running it for all they
can make out of it. The pension appropria
tions while the democrats were in control
of congre s were ample. The reason was
that the money was fairly and legally dis
tributed. The last appropriation for pen
sions was much larger than any previous
one. It was mads under the direction of
Mr. Randall, who cannot be cha-g-d with
having a desire to deal illiberally with pen
sioners.
The deficit is undoubtedly due to Cor
poral Tanners management of the pension
bureau. If be is permitted to remain in his
present position, for which there are rea
sons for t inking he is totally unfit, the
pension burden will be increased enormously
before the end of the present administra
tion. There is greator nece-sitv for his re
moval than there is for an extra session of
congress. Wnen that body does meet it is
not improbable that it will make it very
uncomfortable for him to remain at tha
head of the pension bureau.
Mr. Wanamaker Criticised.
Postmaster General W anamaker is not
finding his path as a public man strewn
with roses. There app -ara to be a good
many thorhs in it. His sincerity is ques
tioned and bis piety doubted.
However, if he makes a first-class Post
master Ge oral the public will overlook a
good many of the small sins charged to his
account. Whether or not he is a tyrant in
dealing with his employee in his big Phila
delphia spire is a matter with which the
people will not trouble themselves a great
deal They will not even think much the
worie of him for going oo yachting ex
cursions on Sunday’s Instead of going to
church and attending to his Suoday school.
One of the latest stories told in connec
tion with him is that his love of power has
increased to such an extent since be has
been Postmaster General that he insists
upon running the Bethany Presbyterian
church in Philadelphia, of which he is one
of the pillars, to suit himself. It ia alleged
that he not only wants to dictate the sub
jects for the sermons, but is not satisfied
unless be is permitted to say how the sub
jects shall be treated. The pastor. Dr.
Pierson, declines, it is said, to bo the mere
mouthpiece ot Mr. Wanamaker, and has
tendered his resignation.
Of course the Bethany church can get
another minister, and one, perhaps, who
will preach such sermons as Sir. Wana
maker wants. Perhaps Mr. Wanamaker
pays the greater part of the expenses . f
the church, and believes that, as he pays the
bills, be ought to control the pulpit. But
bis church and bis store are his own mat
ters, and the public has nothing to do with
them. What the people want is good mail
service, and it they are provided with that,
the Postmaster General can run his store
and his church as he pleases.
Dr. A. J. Battle, who, for many years, has
beer, the president of Mercer University, at
Macon, and who resigned the other day to
accept the presidency of a female college
in Oainosville, Qa., is one of the most suc
cessful educators in the south. He is
thoroughly equipped for the work, and it is
nt surprising that Mercer is opposed to
giving him up. As the president of a
female college he will be a success, just as
be has been at the head of a male college.
He is not only learned, but his manner is
gentle and courteous.
Some days ago the Prince of Wales as
serted that there wss a leper in London who
sold meat. Many people doubte 1 the state
ment, and some of them were disposed to
poke fun at the prince, but he stood his
ground, and now it is stated that be has
unearthed the leper, whose name is Edward
Foxall, snd who has been place 1 at White
chapel infirmary for treatment. The prince
seems to be something of a detective. He
might try to unravel the mystery of the
V/ hitechapel murders.
The republicans of New York have found
out that the democrats of that state are
going to malce a strong effort to carry the
next legislature, but they do not seem dis
posed to admit the right of the democrats
to make such au effort. Of course, the
democrats hate to assume the right uuder
the circumstances, but a United States
senator is to be elected by the next legisla
ture, and they can’t treat the opinions of
the enemy with as much consideration as
they might otherwise.
Ti e New York Times' Washington cor
respondent says that the President gave
Gen. Mahone control of the Virginia pat
ronage because Mahone hates Mr. Blaine.
By the time the President gets through
showing that this isn’t a Blaine administra
tion the people will probably wish that it
wasn’t a Harrison administration.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1889,'
Chandler's Unfortunate Poeitlon.
It is generally understood that Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire, is a bitter
partisan, and that in political matters he
does not hare a very profound regard for
truth. No one thought, however, that he
lacks! shrewdness and common sense. In
publishing s statement over his own signa
ture of the affair which occurred last winter
between himself and Senator Blackburn, in
a committee room of the national capital,
in which it was reported that Blackburn
palled his ear and that he did not resent
the indignity, he showed a lack of both
c mmon sense and shrewdness.
In bis statement be said that Senator
Blackburn did not pull his ear. In fact, he
denied that the senator touched him. A
man of average intelligence would have
known that if he did not tell the truth
a Goat the affair there were those who
would take the trouble to see that the
truth was told. Perhaps he thought that
his statement would not attract attention
outside of his own state, or, if it did, that
it w aid not be noticed by Senator Black
barn, ana would pass u r ,contradicted.
W batever he thought, he sees now,
doubtless, that he has made a mistake, and
that to has placed himself in a much more
unpleasant position than that which he
occupied immediately after the ear pulli g
episxia. Teen be occupied the position of
a man who had receivod an indignity
“hich he had not resented. Now he is
looked upon as not only having failed to
resent an Indignity, but also as having
deliberately told an untruth about it.
His associates in the Senate might have
been willing to forget that he bad cot re
sented having his ear pulled, but can they
respect him after this effort to sh eld him
self behind what Senator Faulkner and
Benator Blackburn say i a falsehood I
It has been thought by some that Senator
Chandler has be in criticised too harshly by
the southern press. N > one can entertain
that opinion now. Who:, his connection
with the 1576 fraud is remem
bered, his persi-tent and malicious
misrepresentations of tna southern
people are recalled, and the humiliating
figure he cuts in the ear-pulling affair is
considered, the conclusion is ine.itabie
that the press of the south has dealt with
him much more kindly than he deserves.
In the face of the s atsmants of Senators
Blackburn and Faulkner it is difficult to
see how he can meet the honest people of
his own state with >ut a feeling ot shame.
County Jaila in Georgia.
Col. John R. Towers, the principal keeper
of the Georgia penitentiary, said the other
day that some of the jails iu this state were
in very bad condition, being poorly venti
lated and filthy. Col. Towers thinks that
much ot the abuse heaped upon convict
lessees for alleged il'-treatment of convicts,
such as would undermine health, should b.-
directed against certain pouaty authorities,
as convicts are sometimes sent to the peni
tentiary in such condition, resulting from
their surroundings while in jail, that they
do not live to serve out their se .teuces.
Judge John L. Hopkins has recently
written an article on county jails, and be
says that the avenge jail in Geo gia U a
house of death, ad he uses the following
stroig words: “I do not doubt that the
condition of penitentiary convicts who are
undergoing punishment for crime is vastly
better than that of unconvicted prisoners
in the average county jail. Merely passing
from a darkened cell, in a filthy, unwhole
some jail, out into the open air, with labor
to engage the attention, is alone enough to
show the difference between the two condi
tions. The preferable place is the one held
by the man who has been tried, found
guilty and sentenced to punishment.”
There is no doubt that there is a great
deal of truth in what Judge Hopkiui s iys.
There are jails in this state which are a dis
grace to civilizsd people. They are old,
decaying, filthy, and without ventilation.
Of course they are a source of dis -ase. It ia
a question, however, if jails of this descrip
tion are the rule, rather than theexceptioo.
in Georgia. Many of the counties have
jails constructed and k pt upon humane
principles. It may be doubted also if
Georgia’s jails are worse than those of
some of the other sta es.
When a p isoner is ii jail awaiting trial,
he is entitled to a certain amount of con
sideration. Un il he is convicted he is pre
sumed to be innoceut, a id he should not be
severely punished, before being found
guilty, by confinement in such quarters as
will break do vn his health.
Col. Towers suggests the appointment of
jail inspectors for the state. Judge Hop
kins suggests th it each county shall be re
quired to construct, in connection with the
jail, a stockade, in which prisoners may
have open air and sunlight, under the
direction of a county physiciau. These
suggestions, and others which may be made
in the interest of prison reform in this
state, should receive the careful attention
of the legislature. /
Ex-Gov. Bullock, of this state, thinks
that liberal appropriations for educati on
and for river and harbor improvements
would eliminate the negro as a political
bugaboo in the South, and would unite t >o
protection elements of the two sections.
S >me of the republican organs tell Gov.
Bullock that he is right, but that “what
roust be done first is to secure an honest
ballot and a fair count,” and then they ad
vocate the pas-age of a law placing con
gressional elections under federal control.
There is a'ready in the South an honest
ballot and a fair count. Wnat the republi
cans want is a sort of “returning board - ’
that will count in republican candidates.
Slugger Sullivan says he is going to
knock Kilraiu out. He doesu’t believe that
the fight will last tea rounds, “but even if
it should last fifty ” he says, “I will never
allow it to end like the Chantilly fluke. 1
was in no condition to fight at that time,
but the man that ‘does me’ now will have
to be twice the man that Mitchell was.” If
Sullivan has let whisky alone lately, and
will let it alone until after the fight, Kil
raiu will probably come out second best.
There is no doubt about Suliivau being a
fighter, but he is no match fur John Barly
corn.
An Indiana republican says that Attorney
General Miller will be made au associate
justice of the supreme court, and that Cul.
John Mason Brown will be appointed at
torney general. Perhaps the Indianian is
mistaken, but if he isn’t it would be inter
esting to know something about Col. John
Mason Brown. He is as little known to the
public as Attorney General Miller was a
year ago.
Gen. Butler insists again, in a four
column article in the Boston Herald, that
Gen, Porter ran away from dan er at New
Orleans. It would require much less than
four columns to prove that Butler is making
s very sorry spectacle of himself.

The Comte de Paris has written a little letter
to tne Sew York Independent, which is not
likely to coniriou e to nis popularity in France
especially among those people who believe that
he is conspiring with all his might. The letter
deals mainly with the cuaracterot' Washington

a general, but it also attacks liberalism and re
publicanism in France in the most open

Theodore Roosevelt recently astonished the

spent a large portion of his lifetime in a study
of these animals, was completely surprised at
Mr. Roosevelt's knowledge of them, and said to
his guests that the poss.-ssion of such expert

A delicious story is “going around” anent
Mr. lrvmg'snod Miss Ellen Terry’s visit toSand

that all was going beautifully with tne "Mer

slick in hand, and all attention—until Miss
Terry’s time came as “Portia” to deliver her
great speech about "Mercy.” But the queen
quite mistook the usual pause for some sudden
fai of memory, began prompting her quite
low. The qualiiy of raarcy,” etc., but Miss
Terry did not take the cue, and her majesty
then repeated rather more loudly and encourag
ingly, ‘‘The quality of mercy is'not strained."
This was almost too much for Miss Terry, but
with a violent effort to suppress her twinkling
merriment she controlled herself and grace
fully accepted her cue.
Prince Sulkowski recently caused a great
sensation at Vienna hy e ciping from the mad
house in whic i his faintly hat kept him for
some years. He is a member of the Prussian up
per house, and owns vast estates in Germany
and Austro-Hungary. Early in l.fe he was a noto
rious spendthrift. He was twice mirri-d; his
first wife died after having been separated from
him. One of his eccentric freaks was to travel
with a great menagerie of wild beasts through
Europe. He made himself a nuisance wher ver
he appeared, because he turned r.ight into day
Hia second wife was an actress. In 1883 his
family obtained the necessary proofs of his
complete madness, and he was taken to a private
asylum, where he stayed till some davsazo. His
guardian 1 -ft him alone in the grounds for a
few moments only, and on returning did not
find him. The cab driver who waited for him
at tlie back door of the garden has. after four
days’delay, informed the police that he hai
often taken two ladies to the asylum at Dobling
and that they bad talked over the wall to a pa
tient who had several times left the establish
ment to drive out with the ladies, and had even
supped with them in some fashionable restau
rant. The keeper confessed this was true, but
that the prince always returned punctually
On the day of the escape only the elder lauy
came, and she soon left with the prince who
drove to her lodgings. There the younger lady
was waiting for him, and he concealed himself
until Digbtfall. when all three left by rail. The
younger lady is a Hungarian, a woman of 8T

Bulla and Terse Prolixity.
Front Harrier's Magazine.
I am not aware that the natural propensity
of the Irishman proper to that humorous mixt
“re of meta mors commonly mown as the
bull,' and that of the Scotchman to a drv an i
tei se prolixity of dialogue, have ever b-en
anecdotally contrasted. B.t the two instances
following recur to my mind, and were personal
experiences. On the first occasion, just after
the baccalaureate exa umtion in Dublin, 1 was
driving down on a jaunting car with some
mends to the races at the Curragi of Kildare
As wa would sav in Ireland, “it came on to
ram very hard;” as, would be said in Amer ca
"there was a heavy rain storm;” md on reach
ing the first road-side inn I told t ie driver to
halt, and as we, his passengers, jumue l f oin
the car. Is id, we having had the comparative
shelter of umbrellas:
“Come in quick, Benny: you must be wet.”
'Taitn, your honor,” was his ready answer
“If I was as wet inside as I am outs.de, I would
be as dry as a bone!”
On tue second occasion alluded to. I was
traveling by stage eoacn through a highland
district of Scotland with my father—a clergy
man, oy the way—and managed temporarily
to escape from bis immediate patera if super

Glass Houses ad Other Possibilities.
from Harper's Magazine.
The future of the glass in iiisiry in the United
States is enc imaging, for it is only since the
war that the manut'aeture of polished plate has
grown up, and there are now running or b hid
ing enougn furnaces to supply all that wifi be
used in the country. It is within tne last ten
years that the manufacture of cathedral and
rough plate has been thoroughly established
at first disputing and now controlling the home
market against England and Belgium. TUe im
provement in wi flow.glass has also been great
and there are workmen and manufacturers who
turns mey see t.,e rising sun ot much be ter
days and a much better American glass. The
concentration of capital in powerful concerns
must c -rtaiuly lead to c ranges in the system of
labor that are bound to insure a m >re fmisned
product. A now glass recently invented in Ger
many is said to add marvelously to the power
of the microscope. A Yale professor announces
the invention of a perfect arc jtnatic telescope
lens.
Legend tells of the lost invention of “mal
leable . las ” Tiberius is said to have disc iur
age 1 a genius who found the secret by behead
ing Mm, fearing the innovation would reduce
the value of gold. It Is also recorded that Car
dinal Richelieu was presented with a bust of
ma.leable glass by a chemist, who purposely
let it fall iulo frugal -nts, and 'landed it, before
his eyes with a ham ner. The i ventor w s
fjrompely rewarded by perp tuilimpnsonment
est his ingenuity should ruin ihe “vested inter
ests” of French manufacturers. But if glass
may not ape the metals in malleability, it may
imitate them in another respect just as im
portant. A more fortunate Frenchman (M
de la Bastie) has within a few years introduced
into Europe a transmuted glass which
he claimij. may aisplace cast iron. If it
fulfills h.s expectations it will mark anew
era in glass, an l t,e Old adage “as brittle as
glass" will ire superseded by anew one, "as
tough as glass.” By his process ran way s!e-p
--ers, fence posts, araiu pipes, tanks, etc., are
cast in molds, and so toug ene l by a bate in
oils as to be stronger than iron, though much
lighter, and costing one-third as much. But It
is questioned whetn-r his results reach what is
c aimed for the process. These undeveloped
tougnening processes augur astounding chang s
in tue future of glass. "Glass houses” may
become tne fashion, and we would have to
reverse our proverb about them, for they would
be bombproof. Already transparent glass
bricks are made. Extending tue possibilities
of glass a litt e further, why may we not
build the entire structure of glass? The
walls might be cemented blocks cast like
hewn stoue, but translucent, and of any color
('ne could thus inhabit a huge pile of amber or
of gigant c gems. Tue windows could be multi
form, some of them telescopic, bringing distant
things near, some with lenses or mirrors guid
ing the to ussed sun’s hea for culinary and
coinforiable purposes, otners straining out the
light or chernic rays. Tape-tries, furniture and
utensils might he made of the universal material.
The whole would be more endurable than gran
ite. No fire could harm it; lightning would shun
it. Such a dream, blossoming irom this mirac
ulous substance, may be realized by an Aladdin
whose lamp is of glass.

The natural soap mines of Owens lake. Cal.,
are accounted for by the following theory: The
water of the lake contains a strong solution of
borax and soda. In ties? wa ers there breeds a
grub that becomes a fly. The flies die in the
water and dri t ashore, covering the grauml to
the depth of a foot of more. The oily sub
stance of the flies blends with the borax and
sola, aid the result is a layer of pure soap.
There strata, repeated from year to year, form
the soap mines, where large forces of men are
now employed. Tills theory, as the Italians
say, "if not true, is well founded.”
