The world is indebted for the latest sea

And now Harrison is charged with grossly

The profit sharing system has had a
thorough test at the Bourne mills at Fall

There is a wall authenticated rumor that
Mr. Austin Corbin has sent from Europe
his resignation as president of tne Reading
railroad, to take effect July 1, and that Vice
President A. A. McLeod will succeed him.
This change has been expected for some time,
on account of the dissatisfaction created by
Mr. Corbin’s personal aggressiveness. The
resignation will not, it is said, make any
change in the policy of the Reading or its
relations with the Baltimore and Ohio.
How little importance is attached to offi

has had another illustration in the libel suit

of New York. The News published an ex
tract trom the report of D. W. Wilder, Su
perintendent of Insurance of K tnsas, re
flecting upon the management and solvency
of an insurance company. As long as the
statement appeared only in the official re
port, which it was evidently taken for
granted nobody would read, the company
took no notice of the matter, but when the
alleged libel was reproduced in a news
paper of circulation, and reached the public
through that source, an action for damages
was at once begun.
Ehowing Citrus of Anxiety.
The dispatches state that quite a number
of the republican senators showed signs of
anxiety on Monday when Senator Ingalls
introduced into the senate two pension bills,
one tc repeal the limitation of arrears, and
the other to give a service pension to every
man who served in the Union armies, and
when introducing them said that the
money these bills called for ought
to be paid, however much it might be
necessary to increase taxation to do so. It
is not to be wondered at that they showed
signs of anxiety and moved uneasily in their
seats. The first of these bills would take
from the treasury $471,000,000, and the
second would increase the pension burden
at least $100,000,000 a year.
It is admitted that most of the pension
legislation owes its existence to the desire
of members of congress to gain the good
will of the ex-Union soldiers and thus con
trol their votes. Senator Ingalls is a can
didate for re-election, and, having some
opposition, he is endeavoring to put himself
on good terms with the ex-union soldiers in
his state, of whom there are many thou
sands. He would willingly saddle the
country with an additional pension burden
of hundreds of millions of dollars
in order to keep himself in the
Senate. If that is not demagogy, pure
and simple, it would be difficult to find a
name for it. He is but one of the many
congressmen, however, who, to keep them
selves in congress, vote for all the pension
bills the pension sharks in 'Washington con
coct. And it is to be regretted that there
are some democrats among them.
The dependent pension bill has just
passed congress and will be signed by the
President, if, in fact, it has not already
been. Nobody knows how much it will add
to the annual pension burden. The esti
mate of the chairman of the House pension
committee was $36,000,000, and that of the
chairman of the Senate pension committee
was $40,000,000. Senator Gorman, who
has a pretty level head, says that the bill
will not cost the government a dollar under
$75,000,000 a year, and it is probable that
he is very nearly right.
Last year nearly $03,000,000 was spent
for pensions. This year more than $109,-
000,000 will be required to meet the pen
sion charge, and next year the expenditure
for pensions will reach fully $125,000,000
without the dependent pensions, and with
them it will be $160,000,000, and may reach
$200,000,000. It is certainly high time for
republican congressmen to become anxious,
and to turn uneasily in their seats, when
pension bills are introduced.
After all the hue and cry about the
pruning done by the Senate finance commit
tee on the McKinley tariff bill, it shows
very little reduction when compared with
the present law and the McKinley bill as it
came from the House. The importations
for the fiscal year of dutiable goods aggre
gated $3510,437,117 70 in value and the
duties collected on these aggregated
$161,408,846 43. The estimated duties on these
same articles (or an aggregate equal to that
of the fiscal year) under the House bill is
estimated at $206,344,377 77, while under
the Senate bill the estimated receipts from
the same aggregate are $201,689,907 08. The
House bill transferred to the free list
articles which during the fiscal year 1889
■were Feeeived in aggregate value of $107,-
'.*21,735.04 and paid duty amounting to
$60,736,’836 12. The Senate bill transfers to
the free list articles valued in the importa
tions for 1883 at $108,919,907 15 and paying
an aggregate duty of $60,599,343 69. By the
changes made the duties on some articles
are reduced and on others increased, and
the bill remains, therefore, what it was
originally, an abomination measure.
An interesting contest is pending between
the editors of the New York Sun and Times
to determine whether CoL Dana or Maj.
Jones can hit the hardest with the English
language. Maj. Jones intimated that Col.
Dana is the original American hog upon
which the Sun has been heaping so much
abuse, and supplemented this with a state
ment about an alleged public display of ill
breeding on the part of the Sun's editor.
The latter countered this right-hander by
declaring that Maj. Jones had been so badly
used up that there was no more fun to be
got out of him, and followed it up with a
stunner that is calculated to knock all the
veracity out of the latter by calling him a
liar. The controversy furnishes an inter
esting diversion in this hot weather, when
little else is astir. Maj. Jones has the floor.
According to the Wall Street News there
is a very bright outlook for the money mar
ket from now until October. Says the
News-. “In the first place, the return move
ment of currency from the west will more
than offset any demand which may be made
upon the banks for the operations of the
sub-treasury, customs duties, etc. Then
again, within fourteen days we shall have
the benign influence of the very heavy
dividend and interest disbursements for
July, which naturally will erase any linger
ing doubt which may for a moment have
existed as to the future. ’ That the period
of stringency has passed is further indi
cated by the fact that there is no trouble in
procuring call funds at and 4 per cent.,
and of time money there is an abundant
supply at 4 and 5 per cent, in New York.
How is it that CoL Elliott Firebrand Shep
ard has not denounced as traitors and rene
gades the northern born citizens of Georgia
who, at their recent convention at Doug
lassville, adopted resolutions to do all in
their power to refute the untruths told of
this section by unprincipled politicians
and uninformed tourists? Does he not
understand the deadly purpose of this move
ment? It means that our northern friends
shall be informed of the truth of affairs in
the south. IVhat will Col. Shepard and
other blood and thunder partisans do then?
By the eleventh census this must not be.
Let loose the dogs of war and stir the south
erners up.
St. Louis is early in the field to secure the
next democratic national convention. One
of the newspapers of that city has addressed
a circular letter to members of the demo
cratic national committee, requesting an
expression of preference ns to the place of
holding the convention, with the purpose, of
course, of finding out how many are in
favor of St. Louis. And now it will be in
order for some Chicago paper to ask:
“Where is St Louis?” or say that no foreign
ers need apply.
These Russian editors must have queer
ideas about liberty who celebrate the free

the letter, but for publishing it. Free.un
tranameled press! Better had she followed
Mr. Blaine’s advice : “Burn this letter.”
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 26. 1890.
Croker s Testimony.
The friends of Mr. Croker, the Tammany
leader, say they are entirely satisfied with
his testimony before the Fassett investigat
ing committee on Monday. He and his
wife denied all the charges of Brother-in-
Law McCann except one, and that one was
that Mayor Grant, several years ago, made
Mr. Croker’s daughter two presents of
$5,000 each. Mr. Grant is godfather to Mr.
Croker’s daughter, and at the time the
presents were made she was about three
years of age. The money was invested in
the home in which Mr. and Mrs. Croker
now live. The deed to the house was taken
in their name, and there is nothing to show
that the daughter has any interest in it.
There is room, of course, in this transac
tion for the enemies of Mr. Croker and Tam
many to say that the money was never
meant for the child, but for Mr. Croker,
and that it was the proceeds of a bargain
between them relative to the fees of the
sheriff's office—the office which Mr. Grant
at the time held, mainly through the in
fluence and assistance of Mr. Croker.
The question which arises, however, when
this view of the matter is taken, is this:
Why did not Mr. Grant give the money di
rectly to Mr. Croker f If Mr. Croker was
willing to receive it through his child he
could hardly have refused to receive it di
rectly, and there would then have been
little or no danger of the matter reaching
the public.
The gift was a princely one, and one cal
culated to raise a suspicion of a bargain or
an understanding of some kind between
Mr. Grant and Mr. Croker, but the most rea
sonable explanation is that Mr. Grant was
grateful for past favors, or was hoping for
others, from Mr. Croker, who, as the chiet
of Tammany, was in a position to be of
great assistance to Mr. Grant, in whatever
political schemes and ambitions he might
have, and knowing that Mr. Croker would
not receive any money gift direct, adopted
the plan of making handsome presents to
his little daughter.
There is no doubt that the testimony of
Mr. Crokeri together with that of his wife,
made a very favorable impression.
What they said is much more likely to be
believed than the charges of Brother-in-Law
McCann, who was moved to make the
charges, not for the public good, but to in
jure the Tammany leaders, who had take n
from him a valuable lease of a restaurant in
Central park controlled by the city, and
thus iuflicted a severe pecuniary loss upon
him. Now that the charges have been ex
amined and authoritatively denied a pretty
fair estimate of their effect upon Tammany
can be made. It is quite safe to say that
they have not injured that organization to
any appreciable extent.
Lawlessness of the Blacks.
There has been quite a number of dis
turbances of a rather serious character re
cently in this state in which the blacks
were the aggressors. There was one at
Locust Grove on Saturday and another at
Brunswick on Monday. In each case the
disturbance was begun by black excursion
ists who were under the influence of bad
whisky. White men interfered to restore
peace and some of them got hurt. The
blacks, instead of yielding to the efforts of
the peacemakers, resented their interference
and assaulted them.
It is a rather curious fact that fatal af
frays and disturbances among the blacks
have increased in number since the Repub
lican party obtained control of the national
government. The reason probably is that
the blacks, owing to their ignorance, have
an idea that with the government in the
hands of the republicans thoy ought to
show their independence by being aggres
sive and overbearing, even in their rela
tions with each other. There ap
pears to be some ground for
thinking that there are white
republican agents who teach the blacks to
resent any attempt to control them, and keep
them within the bounds of the law, and
that the increasing number of disturbances
which, in some instances, amount to riots
almost, is evidence of such teaching.
Whether there are such agents or not, it
cannot be doubted that the blacks are
showing, too frequently, a rather ugly dis
position.
Of course the whites cannot afford, when
these disturbances occur, to stand aside and
let the blacks kill one another, because to do
so would be to encourage the blacks in their
lawlessness and make the negro problem
more difficult to solve. The immediate
cause of the disturbances is whisky, which,
as a rule, is of a kind that makes men crazy.
When blacks get together where they can
get mean whisky they quickly become
boisterous and dangerous. The cheap ex
cursions bring them together, and there is
seldom an excursion on which one or more
blacks are not seriously hurt or killed.
The earnings of a great majority of the
blacks go into the pocket* of retailers of
mean whisky, who accumulate fortunes
very quickly. The excursions are not
gotten up by the railroads and steamboat
owners, but by shrewd blacks who take
that method of filling their pockets with
the earnings of their fellow blacks.
The legislature of this state should enact
a law that would discourage excursions of
blacks. The excursions benefit only those
who get them up and those who furnish
whisky to excursionists, and they are
hurtful to the blacks in several ways. If a
correct statement of the number of blacks
killed and wounded on excursions during a
year in the south, together with the number
of casualties suffered by the whites iu try
ing to make peace among fighting and
quarreling blacks could be made, it would
be somewhat startling.
Charles J. Harrab, a large iron manu
facturer and prominent member of the
Manufacturers’ Club of Philadelphia, baa
withdrawn from the club. He states his
reason for doing so as follows: “I could
not have maintained my self-respect by re
maining a member of the club while it
supported a bill that I was against from
principle. If the McKinley bill is passed
my business will be injured.” It will strike
the average man that Mr. Harrah made a
mistake in resigning from the club. He
should have remained and used his influ
ence with the members to convince them
that their protection views are erroneous.
In this way be would have done more for
the cause of tariff reform than by retreat
iug from the enemy’s camp.

THE BURGLAR’S BRIDE.
Remarkable and Romantic Story of a
Brave Woman’s Devotion.
Readers of the daily press, says the St. Louis
Republic , will still remember the notorious
Northampton (Mass.) bank burglary of Jan. 26,
18T6, which was one of the boldest and most
memorable robberies in the annals of crime.
Two of the burglars—Scott and Dunlap—were
arrested, convicted and sentenced to twenty
in the penitentiary. “Red ’ Leary, the
e.der, the head of the conspiracy, escaped to
Europe with the greater part of the plunder—
about Si. soo,ooo—and left his pals to the tender
mercies of the law. Scott died in prison less
than four years after his incarceration. Dunlap
still lives, and a strong movement now on foot
to secure his pardon brings the romantic story
again before the public.
Early in 1873 Robert C. Scott, a cultivated
and dashing young fellow of 23, eloped with
and married Mary B. Wood, aged 15 years,
whose father was a wealthy stockman of Ulster
county. New York. On Feb. 14, 1876, Scott was
arrested in Philadelphia for the robbery* of the
Northampton Bank. His trial, conviction and
sentence followed. His girl-wife was for a
time utterly prostrated by the shock of her
husband's arrest, but rallied in time to hear
him sentenced. Then began the story of an
unswerving and lifelong devotion that has few
parallels.
I>aft without means, the young wife, who was
a cultivated musician, began the teaching of
music, and to the day of his death was con
stant as the tides in her visits to her felon hus
band, caring for him with a tender solicitude
worthy of a mother’s devotion, and soothing
his last moments with her gentle presence. On
his deathbed Scott exacted from his wife a vow
to devote the remainder of her life to the task
of securing a pardon for Dunlap, of whose mis
fortunes he believed himself to be the cause.
Since that day Mrs. Scott—now Mrs. Scott-
Rowland—has never relaxed her efforts in pur
suance of her promise. Several times she has
organized strong movements to secure a par
don for Dunlap, but always without success.
Her present effort in his behalf promises to be
crowned with the success it so well merits. Her
last systematic attempt to free her husband’s
confederate was made in 1880, when she was a
resident of St. Louis.
In the early part of that year Mrs. Scott met
in Chicago Mr. John Rowland, and a mutual
attachment sprang up between them. She
told Mr. Rowland her pathetic story, including
the vow by which she was bound. He agreed to
aid her in her work and they were married. Mr.
Rowland then disposed of his prosperous hotel
business in Chicago, and came witn his bride to
bt. Izouifi, where they took up their residence at
No. 2.220 Olive street, where they resided for
five years. For a time Mr. Rowland speculated
m wneat and stocks with considerable success,
but finally luck turned against him and he ex
perienced heavy losses. Mrs. Scott-Rowland—
as she has always styled herself—then began
taking rooming houses, which had a reputation
second to none in the city, and among her
boarders were many of the most prominent
business and professional men in St, Louis.
About 1885 Mr. and Mrs. Rowland remove 1 to
New York city, where they have since resided.
Learning that James E. Yeatrnan, president
of the Merchants’ Bank in this city, had, with
Gen. Sherman and many prominent citizens,
signed a petition for the pardon of Dunlap, a
Republic writer visited that gentleman yester
day to secure his reminiscences of the little
woman who had been so true to her husband
and her vow* for so many years.
* I remember Mrs Rowland very well,” said
Mr. Yeatrnan, pleasantly. “For two years I
occupied rooms in her house on Olive street,
and gave them up with much reluctance when
she left the city. She was a charmiug little
woman, pretty, active, with much refinement
and a remarkable business tact and enterprise.
An incident which illustrates this characteristic
T well remember. When I decided to take her
rooms she came down here to the bank to
see me.
‘“You have decided to take my rooms, Mr.
Yeaman,?’ she asked.
“ ‘Yes, madam.'
“Very well, sir; but it is my unvarying rule
to exact half a month's rent in advance.’
“Madam,” said I, there are two kinds of cus
tomers who are the worst creditors in the
world—those who pay iu advance and those
who never pay at all:'
“.‘Very true, sir,' she replied. 4 bufc I cannot
break ray rule on that account.’
“And so I paid her in advance. The fact that
I was president of the bank didn't enhance my
credit with her in the least,” and Mr. Yeatrnan
smiled at the recollection. “At that moment,
however ,we had no suspicion of her romantic
history, though I must say I am compelled to
admire her the more for her devotion to her
husband and his friend. When the facts came
out I gladly signed the petition for Dunlap's
pardon, as did every one else who had known
Mrs. Rowland, and many more besides.”
Turning on the Light.
Capt. Tom Ross, first officer of the steamer
Charles Macalester, is, says the Washington
Star, the proudest man on any of the Potomac
steamboats. When the steamer is at the wharf
he never fails to stand off and admire it, and
never does he miss an opportunity to tell of
the steamer’s good qualities and how fast she
can run through the water.
Speaking of the speed of boats, Capt. Ross
said that the Macalester can make something
like nineteen miles an hour, and he said so as
though he thought the capital should be proud
of having the two fastest side wheel boats in the
country. As pilot of the boat Capt. Ross wields
the search light on the trips up and down the
river and incurs the enmity of many love
making couples. This light, which is the only
one on the Potomac, is many times stronger
than the head-light of a locomotive, and is on
the boat for the use of the pilot, who lights his
path and renders such a thing as a collision im
possible.
The light is not always required for that pur
pose. and by throwing it across the country the
excursionists can see a long distance as clearly
as though it were midday. If the Macalester
remains on the Potomac all the season many of
the country lads and lassies will have to remove
the porches to the side of the house not facing
the river, or do their courting in the.parli.r.
“One night when the steamer had reached the
arsenal grounds," said Capt. Ross, “I threw the
light across the grounds to give the folks a view
of the mansions, the green lawns ana the sol
diers on guard. Tho passengers, however, were
treated to something more than the natural
scenery. On one of the wide porches in front
of a mansion was an officer. I know- he was an
officer, for he wore the stripes and had a sword
hanging at his side. Beside him was a maid
attired in white. It was near the hour of mid
night and the farewell was about to be given,
but the romance was all taken out of the scene
when the light was turned on them.
“The excursionists were all watching the
light, and. of course, they all saw the picture
thus presented. The small boy on the boat was
not asleep, but was, as usual, equal to the occa
sion. and he shouted at the too of his voice,
‘Break away.’ His words of warning were not
necessary. •’
Nan Entertains Her Sister’s Visitor.
Are you my sister Lillie’s beau?
Does she kiss you like she does Joe?
Pa says you both are badly “hit,”
I'm sure you don’t like that a bit!
When she hits me she brings the tears;
Say, does she box you on the ears?
Sometimes she gives me candy though,
When she gets lots from you and Joe;
* When she’s out I play I’m grown,
And go up in her room alone,
ADd tumble up her dressing case,
Rub cold French cream all on my face.
Pin her bangs in my black frowse,
Pencil arches on my brows,
Rouge my cheeks a lovely pink.
And have more fun than you can think 1
1 hear her coming, so I'll go;
I think you’re lots nicer than Joe;
Wait till I’m grown, and then if Lili
Won’t marry you, why then I will.

Judges With Short Hair.
It is well known that judges wear their hair
very short. A judge, who is still on the bench,
relates an amusing incident which happened to
himself when he was on a circuit in the south ot
England. In company with another adminis
trator of the law he went for a walk in the
country, and being thirsty their lordships en
tered a small inn,in the rear of which they found
two laborers playing skitties, relates the London
Figaro They decided to join in the game, and
each taking one of the men as a partner they
played in real earnest. Getting hot, Mr. Justice
took off his coat; becoming hotter, he
removed his hat. His lordship's partner imme
diately stopped playing. “Go on,” exclaimed
the distinguished judge; but Hodge remained
motionless. "What are you stopping for?”
asked Mr. Justice - —, all impatience to renew
the game. “I don’t moind being neighborly,”
replied the man, looking at the judge's closely
cropped head, "but I’m darned If 1 be a-goin to
play skittles wi th a ticket-o’-leaf man.”

The chief chemist of a London gas company
has produced a perfect emerald from the refuse
of the materials used in the production of gas.
But it has cost ten times more to make this
emerald than it would have cost to buy a

have been repeatedly produced by art, but
always at a great cost. Nature, after all, can
work cheapest.
At Haag, the capital of Holland, the director
of the French opera had resigned and was lead
ing his orchestra for the last time. He had been
sixteen years in this position and was well
liked, and it w r a contemplated to bring him an
ovation and to present gifts before his retire

fell from his chair, struck by apoplexy. The
opera had to be discontinued.
The administration of the French navy has
been wasteful enough to be scandalous. Under
the prevailing system supplies have been
granted on an absurdly lavish scale. For ex

were in stock 18 nightcaps. 46 night shirts ana
50 sheets per patient. One store contained one
kind of rope in sufficient quantity to last a cen

they can derive but little benefit from it.
A boy named Drews performed a dangerous

A sculpin' is not usually considered a very
valuable fish, but one recently performed a
great service for a Maine schooner. The Sea
Foam, of Lubec, while coming out of a harbor
at the Magdalen islands struck on the bar and
sprung aleak. She made for the nearest port,
when it was found that her shoe and part of her
false keel were gone, and there was a hole in
the garboard into which the suction had drawn
a large sculpin tail first. Had it not been for
this fish the vessel and cargo would almost cer
tainly have been lost.
The police of New York have under investi
gation a case which for the time bears the
stamp of mystery upon it. Sebastian Kirsch -
Baum, 63 years of age, broke his neck or was
strangled to death during the night in a fight
with liis wife. The woman has been arrested
on suspicion. As fara3 can be learned the dead
man was in the habit of beating his wife, and
their quarrels were many. The wife was at
least twenty years younger than the husband
aud the neighbors say she frequently tried to
whip him. She was his second wife. So far she
refuses to say anything.
Hamilton, 0., has a mysterious visitor. He
is a man of about 45, and during the several
weeks he has spent about the town no one has
been able to get a single word from him. “He
carries a bundle to which he clings all the time,
using it, at night for a pillow. Wdat it contains
no one knows. He sleeps In an open wheat
field. He has never entered a door, never asked
for food or been given a mouthful of food, and
puts in the day walking up and down the pike.
He visits a spring where he drinks copiously,
but what he lives on outside of water, where he
came from, or what his name is no one has
been able to ascertain.”
A dusky Italian rival to Carmencita enter
tained the New York barge office officials for
an hour yesterday afternoon in the inelosure
where detained immigrants are kept. She is a
pretty widow of 18, with a sinuous figure. A
tall, brown Neapolitan, somewhat awkward,
danced with her to the music of a guitar
thrummed by a sleeply-looking, sentimental
young fellow in a broad-brimmed white hat.
She outdanced the tall man. Then she picked
picked up her yellow-haired baby, gave it a
kiss, made a courtesy to the spectators on the
floor above her, and sat down. Her name is
Antonia Spini. She has neither friends nor
money, and she will be sent back unless some
body gives a bond for her.
Charles Green, president of St. Louis Fair
Association, is entertaining large ideas of a fair
for that town during the progress of the world’s
fair in Chicago. He says it is the intention to
give the most extensive racing meeting and
cattle show ever in this or any other country.
"I shall.” he says, "hang up in purses for run
ning and trotting horses not less than $250,000
and for cattle premiums not less than $150,000.
The St. Louis cattle show already has an inter
national reputation. It would be impossible for
the Chicago world's fair to get up as a depart
ment of their show a horse and cattle show
equal to our annual fair. What then will be the
magnitude of an exhibition backed by S4OO,0 n 0
premiums? I hope to arrange that every rail
road ticket sold into Chicago will have a St.
Louis coupon attached at a nominal rate,”
An American lady gave a “pug-dog party” a
few afternoons since, says the London Illus
trated Sews. She is the happy possessor of a
fawn-blonde pug, aud was desirous that the
animal should make its debut in society on the
anniversary of its birthday. So twenty-two

E. Baldwin, a member of the "American
Pet Dog Club,” brought her two pugs, r-eter

favorite in London society, introduced her peg
Leunie. who wore a boutonniere of Parma
violets and a silver collar. Victoria, Mrs.
Wheatleigh’s 7-year-old pug, who has had
twenty-five handsome children, was also present
and chaperoned the party, while Mikado, a prize
pug in a red necktie, was the admired of ail ad
mirers. Slices of turkey, milk and ice cream
were served on hassocks, Japanese napkins
being tied round the puggies’ coliars- After
the collation, rose-colored finger bowls filled
with scented water were passed round for the
pugs’ paws.

Ammonia, a substance injurious to
health, is an adulterant of some high

generally believed to be “absolutely

contain alum, terra alba, &c., as well as
ammonia.
Housekeepers who desire pure and

ANY baking powder, no matter what
its reputation, unless all the ingredients
