' On Sunday, Jan. 5, the Mop.nito News wCI begin the publicition of anew *eria'. story, entitled, “The (irc-nt Mill Street Mys tery,” by Mis* Adeline Sergr-ant, author of “Jacobi’s Wife,” one of the most successful of recent stories. “The Great Mill Strae'. Mystery" t a powerful story, and will run tix month*. It has been wyrirel at very considerable expense, and will appear in the Dailt and Weekly .’Sorting News. It can be safely said that it is one of the best stories th it have been published by the newspapers for a long time, and we feel certain that it will be greatly enjoyed by the readers of the Morning News. Those who want to read it should subscribe at once so that they will bs certain to g-t the numbers containing the first ins‘ailment of this groat story. Tin story alone i* well worth thosubscriptioa pr.ee of the Weekly Morning News. Tbe Mc*>ir.ty gag is a deadly i ne. Every day or two it is the occasion of the death of srgne poor telloav. By moans of it a man 82 years of age was led to commit suicide in, Cincinnati on Christmas day. Jt is alleged that the fact that egg-nog w os sold -t twenty cants a drink at the bar in. Vjce President Morton's Washington hotel on Christmas day has had a depressing elect upon that official’s popularity. The impression prevails in Washington float Sflcott will soon be captured and taken back to Washington. A good many con gressmen would be glad to see Bilcott, not withstanding the fact that he is a thief. Christmas day, although a day of joy, brought sorrow to a great many hearts. ■J be number of persons who wore killed in and Ifferent parts of the country, either aoci o-tntaliy or deliberately, was appallingly large. _ _____ The Philadelphia newspapers never get tired of puffing Postmaster General Wana noakor. lie is entitled to some free puffs from them. The puffs he pay s for cost him a good deal of money in the course of a year. Another Ohio man is after the Russian mission. Ex-Gov. Eoste- thinks he is just the man for the place. Foster, however, no longer wields the influence he once did, a-id the President may regard him as a political dead duck. The little trouble between England and Portugal over the South Central African provinces has not yet been settled. It may be submitted to arbitration. That is the course that ought to be pursued. Portugal insikts, however, that she will not back down from the position she has taken. The Rev. Sam Jones daughter appears to be about as eccentric as her father. She eloped with and married the other day a young man to whom the Rev. Mr. Jones probably had no objection whatever as a son-in-law. The novelty of a runaway marriage had attractions probably for Miss Jones. Among the employes of the treasury de partment there is quite a number of eases of malignant typhoid fever. For years the complaint has been made of the bad sani tary condition of the treasury department building. Is it not about time that some thing was done to make tbe building a healthy onei Governor Thomas, of Utah, thinks lie has found a way to break the backbone of Mor mon political power in Utah. His plan is that the general government shall appoint a majority of the local officers. This looks mere like a scheme to inc. en.se the office holders of the Republican party than to check the growth of Mormonism. Chinamen are apt scholars. It is said that one of them who learned the ounco game in Mew York went back to China and put it into operation. lualittle whilehehad accumulated about $2,000,000. If the em peror had not ordered that he bo run out of the empire, the probability is that he would fcorn have owned the greater part of its wealth. Our Trade with Our Neighbors Far y<ar ttere tas been a great deal cf talk in this con try about getting a larger thare of the trade of Central and South America, acd Tar; us way* of getting :t hav been suggested. If, however, w.oat Se :or Romero, tte Mexican minister, sari at the banquet recently given ia New York, in honor of the pen-American delegates, is correct, we have not been a* anxious to g t a larger share of that trade as we have pre tended to be. We have not made the most cf our opportunities. Senor P. nero spoke particularly about tbeeTorts that nave been made to bring about closer ’rale relations between the L'nited States and Mexico. He mentioned the trale treaties, and dwelt par jcuiarly upon the one negotia’od by Gem Grant and himself in ISB2. By that treaty, which was reciprocal in it* cnaracter, a great many product* of Mexioo were to be admitted into this coun try free of duty, and a large number of our* manufactured articles were to lie admitv-d into Mexico duty free. Mexico and and not regard this treaty as very favorable to her interest*, but *he ratiti *1 it because she desired to increase her trade with the United States. It was ratified by the Senate at Washington also, though there was very considerable opposition to it that was inspired by several small manu facturing interest* to which the treaty was not particularly favorabie. The treaty never amounted to anything, however, because congress refused to pass a law to carry it into effect. A bill was introduced into tlse House, and referred to the ways and means committee. That committee made a report which indi ca’ed that the small manufacturing in teres's which opposed the ratification of the treaty had succeeded in preventing it fr .ni going into opera’ion. Th" c. anco for a great and prafliable tittle with Mexico, therefore, * thrown away. h’eaor Romero said that, as far as his in vestigations went, this country had nev-r made any particular effort to build up- a trade with the Central and Sauth American countries. Those countries had always btea anxious for closer trade relations with this country, and had offered, time and time again, to assist in establishing steam ship lines, and to make reciprocal conces sions in the matter of tsritf duties. They had not bii met half way, ho sever, and therefore had continued to give their trade to European countries. But Honor Romero now thinks there is growing up a very earnest derire in this country to enjoy a larger trade with Cen tral and South American countries, and he has reached that conclusion within the last few months. He talked with He leading manufacturers and business men during the r cent tour of the pan*American delegates through the north, and everywhere he found a willingness to make concessions to get a share of that trade. The trade cannot be had for the aski g. It won’t come to this country unless the condiiiomrror it are favorable. The favor able conditions must be made, even if the Republican party has to agree to sacrifice something of the doctrine of protection. Bavannah‘s New Kailroade. It is ex[csii that next month toe Savar. nah and Western and the Savannah, Alner icus and ilontgomerv railroads will meet, thus forming a continuous line, giving Savannah a shorter route tefthe treat, and opening a xpctiou of country between this city and the Oconee river that is as yet comparatively undeveloped. Tne comple tion of this line will give Savaunah a large amount of trade that has been g-.ing else where It will also largely increase her lumber and naval stores receipts. There is another respect in which it will help Savannah. It will bring coal here cheaper than it can be brought now, and it Is not iinproliable that this port may be come a coaling station. Nothing has been done in behalf of the South Bound project lately, but those who have it in hand have given assurances that they will do some excellent work for it just as soon as the holiday season Is over. They have confidence in their ability to get the balance of the money needed to make it a success. With the Bavannah and Western com pleted to a junction with the Savannah, Americus and M ontgomery road and work on the South Bound begun, the prospects of Savannah will be more promising than ever. The coming year certainly looks as if it would he a vory prosperous one for her. There is a report in New Orleans that there is a movement on foot in New York by the friends of ex-Treasurer Burke, of Louisiana, to pay up the amounts for which he is liable on account of his crimi nal acts, and then get a pardon from the governor for him. There is not much in thii report, in all probability. ,It would take nearly SBOO,OOO to settle Burke's liabilities, and who is there who would con tribute that amount? It is pretty safe to assume trial Burke will remain in Honduras. The New Orleans I‘icatjunf, speaking of the report, says: “The people and authorities of Louisiana would have to rise to a hight almost divine or sink to a depth of corrup tiop as low as Burke’s in order to excuse a criminal who crowned liis long and daring career of wickedness by defrauding his nearest friends and leaving them to sufier for his sins.” There are a great many Brazilians in this country, and they all feel a profound Interest in the condition of affairs in Brazil. As far as can be learned, they have no desire Cora restoration of the empire, and no fear that it will be restored. They are"not confident, howevor, that the provisional government has ability enough to maintain peace until the republic is sately established. If a few strong men like Don Jose Mariano, of Per nambuco, should oppose it, the chances are that it would quickly go to pieces. Some of the most popular men of Brazil have noither declared for or against the republic. Their course will dfepead probably upon the developments between now arid the election in September next Gen. Fonseca, the president of the provisional government of Brazil, says that some of his supporters have honored him with the title of “The Boulanger of Brazil,” and that he is proud of the title. It iu.difficult to see why he should be proud of it.. Boulanger hasn’t yet done anything to be proud of. His career has been a failure. Some of the republican newspapers say that if Calvin S. Brice, who, it is alleged, is a citizen of New York, is elected senator from Ohio, New York will return the com pliment, probably, by electing Judge Thur man, of Ohio, senator. New York couldn’t find a bettor man for senator, nor one who would render the country better service. THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28; 1889. The Jaaup Diaturbaoca. There ara still a good many wild rum or, fl aurg about the country in tb* vicinity of Jesap that the blacks are arming and march ing ou the k wn, but there does net appear to be much Landau- n for them. They keep the people of Jesur alarmed, however, and therefore tre c.reolatingof them should be dHcoeraire-l If information that is con sidered reliable it obtained that further trouble is probable, the town authorities should be put in possession of it. but the spreading of idle and sensateiAi rumors should be frowned upon. While no punish meet w uld be too severe fir the desperado. Brewer, and tne gang that aided and ab-tted him in his deadly assault upon the officers of the town, the killing of tee negroai in the jail is to be deeply regretted. No satisfactory excrue can be offered for that act. The blacks in the jail were in the hand; of the law, and, whether they were bad characters or not, the killing of them cannot be too severely condemned. Acts luce that do incalculsbie harm, because they - arouse in the blacks a feeling of revenge I which n certain to snow itself whenever a favorable opportunity present* itteif. The aim should be to cultivate the best | of feeling between the races, and the best way to do that is for the stronger race to treat the weaker one with absolute fairness and justice. The wrong-doers should be punished as they deserve, but the innocent should not be made to suff.r for the crimes of the guilty. Any other policy will breed in the minds of toe blacris a sense of injustice that will b: productive of a deplorable condition of affairs. Too Hopeful. One or two democratic congressmen have recently expressed the opinion that the con tested el ction cases from the south will bo comidere 1 by the republicans upon their merits, acd that, therefore, the republican majority will not be increase. 1. They do not believe that the republicans are natu re iy inclined to act fairly iu such cases, but they think that they are afraid that an ex treme policy would result disastrously to them in future elections. Iu other words, the repub.icnn House will do what is right iu the matter, not for the sake of principle, but for the sake of party. This is a very hopeful view to take, and there will be can e for congratulation if it is not found to be entirely too hopeful. The Republican party has not made a creditable record in contested election cases. Its par tisanship has impelled it to lose sight of the merits of cas.s in a number of instances, and tnere is no reasonable doubt that at this juncture, with a House majority so slim that it cannot always be depended up_-n, democrats will lie deprived of their * a s for no other reason thau to make room for republicans, provided the demo crats are unable to prevent it by parlia mentary tac.ics. The party lash will do its w.jik in these ases. if d* m strata from the south are unseated, the republicans will try to justify them selves by charging that elections in the south were not fair ones. In some cases they will charge intimidation of colored voters; in other*, the suppression of colored votes, and in still others they will charge both. They will assume that the fact that in some southern congressional districts the colored people of voting aga outnum ber the whites of voting age is ample evidence that republicans were elected. They probably know better, but it does not suit their purpose to admit that they do. They will count upon deceiv ing t;.e voters of the north and west to an extent sufficient to ,sve them from rebuke at the polls. Houthc-rn democratic con gressmen who have conte ts upon their hands need not expect fair treatment from the republicans. Their only hope of re taining their seats lies in the possible failure of the republicans to change the rule so as to give the majority m 'ro power. There is* a lively litt’e war going on among the Indies of the cabinet. Owing to the death of her sister, it was not expected that Mrs. Harrison would take part iu the New Year’s reception, and there se med to be no doubt, therefore, that Mrs. Morton, the Vice President's wife, would have the place of honor. The official programme, however, gives that [ lace to Mrs. McKee, the President's daughter. This arrange ment is not satisfactory to the cabinet ladies, who ay that Mrs. McKee has no of ficial rank whatever. It looks as if there would tc expression given to a good deal of bitter feeling before New Years day. Mr. Calvin K. Brice says that those who are trying to defeat his election to the United States Senate from Ohio, on the ground that he has sworn that he was a citizen of New York, are acting upon in correct information. never did take an oath, he says, that he was a citizen of New York. He made an affidavit in a suit that ho was a householder of Now York—a very different thing. The Florida International and Semi- Tropical Exposition at Ocala m ill be opened on Jan. 15, und a very fine exhibit is promised. It will continue two months and a half. During the expos! tioa the American I’oinological Society and the Florida State Horticultural Society mill meet In Ocala. South Florida mill have a large number of visitors undoubtedly this winter. Mr. McKinley suggests that the surplus be got rid of, does he, by cutting of the duty on sugar; Well, that suggestion will not prove to be as popular as he may think, even with his own party. If Mr. McKinley wants to increase Ins reputation he will have to do a good deal more thinking than he yet. has since he ls-came chairman of the ways and means committee. The warm weather in the north has greatly lessened the demand for coal, and it is said that there are least 10,000 laborers in the coat region of Pennsylvania out of work, and about out of bread. The coal mine owners are taking things easy, waiting for a better market for coal. A green Christ inas was certainly not appreciated by the coal mine laborers. * It is now thought that the members of congress who are creditors of the defaulting cashier, Silcott, will have to go to tbe court of claims for their money. The committee which has tho matter in charge is not dis posed to report in favor of an appropriation for paying the salaries stolen before a court of competent jurisdiction has passed upon tho matter. There is some speculation in Washington as to whether Col. Dudley, of “blocks of five” fame, will attend the President’s New Year's reception and shake hands with him. Tha chances are that Dudley will not enter the svbito house during this administration. coaa*H~ >■!:. Bill and -e Editor. From tte Xnt n Herald btd i fthec Gov.

Georges Thiebacd, the reputed founder of Bouianginn. is writing his pcrional memoirs to serve as a history of the movement. A New York ri'Kok to the -fTect that Mr. Cleveland intends, at an early day. to remove to Buffalo, is flatly contradicted by Mrs Cleve land. , Thgma*. Ball. the/Sculptor is now living at his villa at Florence, I tab, and is 71 years of age. He is engaged in writing his autobiog raphy. Menhir Ibsen, the Norwegian dramatist spending the summer in Gossensass. a small village in the Tyrol, had one <.f the .squares named after hito. \ Yielding to the solicitation of his friends Count Tolstoi has resumed his pet |(„ w now working on a novel to be called "ha Senate do Kreutzer.’’ It is a family romance, and will tie very long, Mrs. Clara M. WilUahs, the newly ap pointed school commissioner of NY-v York, was muched at tic Hotel Brunswick, Saturday, l*v the alumni of the Normal College, from which she graduated. Editor W. H. Mabie of the Chrittirtn at Work thinks too much professionalism has crept into the churches, and says: “We need dirtier churches, more shabby churches, mad" so by the masses attending.” Conor fssm an Brush's returned to I,ancaster Pa., from Washington on Thursday evening and lias since bren confined to his bed with a severe cold. Congressman Harmer of Phila delphia is also sufferiug from the same malady. Mark Twain is reported to be growing indo lent with his advancing years Me no longer has the incentive of poverty to free him to work, and the products of his pen grow smal.er every year. He retires early to bed and never breakfasts before 10 o'clock. It is not often that, a French cabite-t officer becomes a dramatist in spite of himself. This however, is the case with M. Yves (Juyot,' minister of public works, who wrote a book in 18°-l called “The Brole." The story has been dramatized by M. Hertal for the Chateau d'Kau Theater, Paris. His elevation to the Senate has made nr,’ change In the quiet ways of Judge Moody, of Deadwood, S. [>ak. He is a pleasan'-looking, quiet old gentleman, wearing a silk hat and gray hair and whiskers,an Ihe still possesses the amiability of manner to which his success in life is greatly due. A ONCE PROMINENT POLITICIAN’ whom the world has almost forgotten is ex-Seoator fi. W. Fitch, of Indiana. He lives in an old stone man sion in I-ogansport, where he Is quietly awaiting tho approach of death. He is 80 years old, and up to last ye.ar was actively practising his pro fession of physician. Tomaso Sai.vini, the great actor, has a lux urious town bouse In Florence, and a country villa on a high hill a few miles from the city, from which there are glorious views of the rah ley of the Arno and the Apennines. When" in town he is very hospitable, and gives fine din ners to his male friends, and when in tbe coun try hea leads a patriarchal life among his ebil! dren and grandchildren. He is passionately foud of music, and is a good singer, while bis strength and athletic skill are proverbial. Economy and strength are peculiar to Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the only medicine of which “100 doses One Dollar” is true.

Toe jail was made of rough st-me and one-half of it was the sheriff’s residence. The fan part was only one big room, with a plain but stout iron-grated door leading into the corridor. As th- weather waa warm, both corridor doors were open. When we looked in on Joe he said: “See here, Steb. I hear you are bragging a gord deal about how mao v men you have put on their backs.” “There's no brag about it.” replied the old man. **l never found a human I couldn't lay down in five minutes ” "Tnat'sall wind, and you know it," retorted Joe. “You ought to be ashamed of your jaw.'' “Who you talking to?'* “To you, you old wind-bag: You talk of wresting: Why.

Washingtox, Dec. 23.—Senator Beck of Ken tucky gave an almost cashing indorsement of Senator Allison of lowa to a reporter this after noon. 'The 9tate of lowa.” said he, "would never be so foolish as to put any man in Allison's place save Allison himself. If it did it would disgrace itself. At present lowa is the most prominent sta o in the Senate, for Allison is not only chairman of the committee on appropria tions, but he is the second member of the committee on finance. If they send anew man here he will have to go down to the lower end of, it may be and probably would be. some of the minor committees. William B. a llison is a statesman, and if the lowa legislature has not completely lost its senses it will send him back to the Senate as often as he can be per suaded to come.” Of course Senator Allison, if he can overcome the caution, whica is one of the chief elements of his public career, wiil be glad to give the senator from Kentucky an equally good send off if ho should need it four or live years hence. The way the distinguished senators stand together is remarkable. There, is a state of senatorial brotherly love that is beautiful to behold, and the bare doubt there has been about the re-election of the able Senator from lowa must have been extremely shocking to his brothers in statesmansnip. The Senate is the place to come to stay in. Young and ambitious men have not much chance un less they break in through theladmission of new states. The Secretary Barred Out. A tall figure, somewhat stooped, cased in an ulster more or less weather stained, and capped by a derby thaf looked too smalt for the head it was on, says the New York Sun, advanced to ttie iron door shutters at the William street en trance to the custom house Wednesday after noon. It was after 4 o’clock. The two guards 1 ooked at the st ranger, whose hands were thrust deep down into his trousers pockets ' What d'yer want!” exclaimed one. "Can't come in after hours,” cried the other. “Come 'round in the morning, boss: no show to-ni’ht,” was the second volley of the first guard. •'No. sir, it s no go,’’ and with this the second guard barred the half-open door with a club M The stranger by this time has assumed an additional air of meekness. "Gentlemen,” he began, but before he had another word out a voice back in the corridor cried: "That's Oen. Tracy. Secretary Tracy. Isit him in, quick,” and Steve Smith, the six-day walker of the oil cloth in Collector Erhardt’s outer office, shuffled to the rescue. The guards were amazed first, then gracious, and would have carried the secretary up stairs witn pleas ure. The ruler of the navy rather enjoyed the crisis. But Steve Smith did not, •'Next time my friend Tracy comes round,” he said, and bit his cigar to pieces, “you let him In, d'yer see!” A Kentucky Kditor’s Hat. From the Washington Post. Hon. J. C. S. Blackburn is wearing this winter a broad brimmed light sombrero, very much akin to the cowboy style, which makes him a more noticeable figure than ever. The other day he received a draft for bis November salary, and proceeded to Higgs' bank to get it cashed and send off some small drafts. The clerk took bis orders in relation to the small drafts, and the senator indorsed his. The clerk asked him if he was a depositor, whereupon the senator frankly confessed that he was not, and had not of late been in the habit of encumbering the vaults of banks with large amounts of surplus. “Do yon know any one con nected with the bank!” asked the clerk. At this point of the conversation one of the officers of the solid financial institution looked from his door, and politely request* i the senator to give him a call in his private room before leaving. At this the clerk remarked that it was all right. Mr Blackburn, suppis.ng that every person connected with the bank knew him asked the clerk if he had been there long, and was In formed that his term of service had not ex tended over about two months. "Well,” said the senator, “I would like for you to tell me what made you doubt or ques tion my ownership of this draft.” •‘Well,” said the clerk, “I will tell you frankly that I <ll4llOl think a senator wore that kind of a hat.” ITEMS or IKTgRgST.

The school board of Prairie township, says a Columbus (O.) special, have taken steps to remove a iady teacher for teaching in a practi cal way the effects of alcohol on the human system. A recent ace of the legislature added this “study,’’with a series of new and costly books, to the common school course, ani the lady teacher interpreted it literally. Con sequently she iirccured a quantity of alcohol, and compelled her pupils to tast: it. and poured it on their bare arms, to give them some prac tical lessons of its effects. The effects were so striking that the parents raised a row. and the practical teacher iviillo.se her situation. At the meeting of the Hudson county (X J.) health beard Wednesday evening.

The members of the Baltimore Society of Amateur Astronomers have received a dispatch from Prof. Ritchie, at the Harvard observatory, denoting a change ill the crater Pliny of the moon. This remnant of a volcano is one of the many crags and peaks distinguishable through an opera-glass, field glass or telescope. The errire surface of the moon is broken up by waited plains, in the center of each of which rises a straight mound. Crater Pliny is one of the best known of these, and is in the north west quadrant of the moon. A Baltimore a-trnnoiuersaid that he thought that a mistake had been made in regard to the discovery, as the satellite is believed to be dead, and no change can take place on its surface. He said that it was possible that the professor, who thought he bad made a discovery, had been misled by the different prominences on the sur face l n.g illuminated at different angles, and thus presenting a different aspect. Some years ago ago one of the present con gressmen from New York state and his brother were examining the stock of a pawnshop in London with the hope of nicking up some curiosties. They came across a necklace of green glass beads, which the New York man purchased for $2.50, intending to bring it home to his little daughter. The brother was sur prised to find in the shop a counterpart of this necklac ■. which he brought home to his little girl. Two months later the latter showed her gift to a jeweler, who pronounced the glass beads to be emeralds, and who sold them after ward for several thousand dollars. The raem ber of congress, upon hearing this, took his necklace to the sain wdealer, who pronounced it to be composed of glass beads. The London pawn dealer had purchased them of a thief, who had stolen them from a wealthy woman. The latter kept the emeralds in a safe, and wore their glass counterparts. Of course no one couid tell the difference when the necklace en circled her throat. For the last fifteen years Mrs. Charles V. Worthington of Evansville. Ind.. has been par tially deaf, and suffer and a great deal from ulceration in her left ear. During the time of tae trouble she has placed herself under the treatment of a number of physicians, and al though they did mueh to alleviate the pain, their efforts were not productive of satisfactory results. Last week she placed herseif under the care of Dr. F. S. Compton, who discovered the cause of her trouble.- It was a large mosquito, which must have lieen in her ear for nearly fifteen years. The insect had lodged in the membrane of the drum of the ear. causing an ulceration which ban never healed up entirely within that time. When the physician removed the cause of the trouble the patient experienced almost immediate relief, and ordinary sounds, which heretofore she was unable to hear at ail. were distinctly audible. The physician is now of the opinion that in course of time Mrs. Worthington s hearing will not only be perfect, but the ulceration and irritation caused by the presence of the insect iu so tender a part as the ear will enlirely disappear. At Batesyiu.e, Ark., a recent shooting affray brought into notice a woman known as “Sorrel Sue.” She always appeared ia public riding a sorrel horse. It was believed she belonged to a gang who stole horses. A surgeon who was summoned to attend one of her admirers who had been wounded in the row mistook his way find wandered to Sue's cabin. Before he could lie hustled out he saw certain things which aroused his suspicious. Tnese he reported to Sheriff Simcue. who, with a posse, managed to surround the den of the horse thieves, captur ing Sue and two of her gang. He found that Sue had applied the means of bleaching her own hair to that of the horses. When the posse entered they found a horse enveloped in a jacket mafle out of rubber coats, being treated to a sulphur vapor bath. The appliances were very iugenious. and worked very well. A black or bay tiorse would be stolen aud run into the bleacnery. After its color was changed and its tail and mane trimmed, the disguise became so pronounced that without any great risk the ani mal could be taken in daylight through the very district from which it had been stolen. It was Sue’s business to not o< ly superintend the bleaching, but also to rid# the animal out of the country. HOES FORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE For Abuse of Alcohol. It relieves the depression therefrom.
