The divorce sharks of Now York are hav
ing a pretty hard time of it. There seems
to be little, if any, doubt that Bu tner,
Hughes, and probably Campbell will go to
the penitentiary. It is said that Buttner
has agreed to plead guilty to larceny in the
second degree and also to forgery. It is re
markable that they have been permitted to
carry on their rascally business so long
without any iuterierence from the authori
ties
There is a movement in Washington
among the younger army officers in favor
of an exploration of Alaska. Thev are
tired of inactivity and would like a chance
to do something that would expose them to
danger and hardship. An exploring party
has been suggested, and at least twenty ap
plications have been made for every position
in it. It is thought to be quite probable
that congress will be asked to make an ap
propriation for such an exploration.
The Tilden will contest case is still going
on. An appeal from the decision of the
supreme court of New York to the
court of appeals of that state has just
been taken. Mr. Tilden has been dead more
than four years, and it would not be strange
if the fight for the millions he left would
still be going on at the end of this century.
He tried to draw his will so that the law
yers would not get the most of his estate,
but it begins to look as if he made a mis
take.
There is a movement to extend the ad
vantages of a college education to those
who are unable to attend college. There Is
a system in England by whioh such advant
ages are extended, and a half dozen college
presidents assembled the other day to hear
what a graduate of Cambridge University
bad to say about it. Tha college presidents
who heard the system explained pretty
unanimously agreed that it wouldn’t answer
in this country. There are some English
things, you know, which don’t fit the situa
tion iu this country.
The war with the Indians contains a good
many harrowing details, but nothing that
has appeared in the reports yet shows so
clearly the horrors of the war as the finding
alive of the three Indian babes who had
lain beside their dead mothers for nearly
three days on the battlefield through a ter
rible snowstorm. To what terrible out
rages will the India 1 s subject vhe wives and
children of settlers when they get the op
portunity ! Is it not the duty of the gov
ernment to make a thorough investigation
for the purpose of finding out whether mis
management and inefficiency on the part of
those entrusted with the duty of looking
after the welfare of the Indians were not
the cause of the outbreak?
One of the curiois features of the fight
which the Philadelphia tress is making on
Senator Don Cameron of Philadelphia Is
that he is a warm friend of Senator Butler
of South Carolina, and that the South
Carolina senator influences him to such an
extent that lie is no longer a genuine re
publican. This view of the situation is
quite complimentary to Senator Butler.
Unfortuuatly. however, Senator Cameron
very frequently shows that he is about as
radical as the most radical ol' the republi
can senators. It is true that he does not
favor the force bill, but that is because his
common sense tells him that that bill is the
product of the war feeling, and is against the
spirit of this period of the ninet eath
century.
Behring Sea War Talk.
In England the Behring sea question is
regarded as a serious one, and the tone of
some of the Englisa papers is rather war
like. Our dispatches yesterday contained a
synopsis of the correspondence between
Secretary Blaine and Lord Kalsbiry,
showing the present status of tbe dispute.
The two governments are no nearer to an
j agreement, apparently, than they were when
the dispute first began to attract attention.
Lord Salisbury say that he is willing to
submit the differences between tbe United
States and E..gland to impartial arbi ra
tion, and Mr. Blaine is als > willing to agree
to an arbitration, but unfortunate y the
points which Lord Salisbury is willing to
have arbitrated are not, according to Mr.
Blaine, tbe really important ones.
Mr. Bisine claims for the United States
the exclusive right to catch seals in certain
parts of Behring sea. He asserts that
Russia, when Alaska was a Russian posses
sion, had this right, and that the United
States, having pu: chased Alaska, has all
the rights, so far as Behring sea is con
cerned, that Russia had.
Lord Salisbury, on the part of England,
declares that England never adm tte i
Ru,sin's claim to tbe exclusive right of fibb
ing in Behring sea, but that, on the con
trary, she has always maintained that
navigation and fishing in the waters of that
sea, outside of the usual territorial limit
of one marine league from the coast, were
free. He admits, ho' - .ever, that for a cer
tain number of years English subjects did
not exercise their right of iisbing and catch
ing seals in that sea The reason they did
not exorcise it, he says, was bee a so British
Columbia, as a colony, came into exist
ence at a compar itively recent period, and
the attention of the colonists was given to
matters other than the dev eloping of their
shipping interests. The points he is willing
t) arbitr. te are whether England ever con
ceded to Russia the exclusive jurisdiction of
Behring sea, and whether the recent capt
ures of Briti-h vessels in that sen by
American revenue cutters were legal.
Mr. Blaine makes the point that whether
or not England ever formally recognized
Russia’s ex luslve juridiction over Behring
sea is a matter of little consequence. He
asserts that Russia did claim such
jurisdiction, and that England tacitly
recognized it by not questioning it,
and by respecting it. ’the ques:ions
he is willing to submit to arbitration are
the following: What were the rights exer
cised by Kussia in Behring seal How far
were they cono ded by England! Was
Behring sea included !n the Pacific ocean*
Did not the United States acquire all of
Russia's rights, and what are the present
rights of the United States in Behring sea I
There are other points which Mr. Blaine
wants submitted to arbitration. They look
to the protection of the seal fishe; ies, which
would soon be destroyed if all nations were
permitted to catch as many seals as they
pleased and at any season of the year.
Mr. Blaine cites several instances in which
England has exercised exclusive jurisdic
tion over portions of other seas at a greater
distance tiian one marine league from tbe
ooa't, and has done so notwithstanding that
she greatly interfered with the commerce
of other nations. And he points out that
this ocuntry does not claim that Behring
sea is a closed sea, and that it claims ex
clusive jurisdiction over certain portions of
that sea for one purpose only, and that is to
protect the seals. The protection of the
seals is a matter iu which all civilized
nations are interested.
England would not have interested her
self at all iu this B -bring sea matter had she
not felt that it was necessary to do so to
show Canada that she was looking out tor her
welfare, and in that way to stifle the feeling
in favor of independence that is beginning
to crop out there.
But there will be no war. Neither this
country nor England wants a war. A way
will be found to settle the trouble without
an appeal to arms, and when a settlement is
reached this country will not have given up
the exclusive right to take seals in Behring
sea which it has enjoyed so many years.
Western papers are telling of a policeman
who precipitated a ruu on a bank by making
a very vigorous claim for recognition, such
as policemen usually make. He could not
understand why it was that aDy man iu the
great river-town of St. Louis should not
recognize a policeman. It didn’t so much
matter which policeman he was. Ho had a
draft that he wanted the cashier to par, and
from bis actions one would naturally judge
that he had been subjected to several strong
alcoholio draughts before he got to the
bank. As his pi evious experience had been
to easy and agreeable be seemed to think
that the bank required no greater precau
tions. So he began to tell the cashier that
he didn’t believe the bank had the necessary
funds. This excited the suspicion of several
prospective depositors who had their pen
nies stored there, and they proceeded to
draw the largest checks they could. It made
troubl > for a short time, but even a police
man cannot break a solvent bank unless he
waits until t e officers go home.
Oscar Fay Adams in the January number
of the A orth American Review writes
a' out the characteristics ol men. Those
who take the trouble to read his article
may have a suspicion that he hasn’t studied
his subject very carefully. For instance,
he says that men are indignant when they
hear of outrage! upon women because they
look upon crimes against property as more
heinous than any other, and that *'it is use
less to deny that the average man regards
his wife as his property.” Continuing he
says: “The indignation which a man feels
at hearing of some assault upon a woman
differs in degree but scarcely in kind from
the horror with which certain frontier com
munites regard the crime of borse-stealing.”
If this isn’t a slander upon men it is difli
to say what is.
The Indian raessiah, A. C. Hoskins, was a
Chicago drummer. He traveled for a
crockery house, and those who know him
cannot understand how he became rattled.
The rattling of his crockery samples could
not have had anything to do with it. The
last time his employers saw him he sad:
“The government is not treating the Indians
right, and I don’t believe it will until I go
out there.” The treatment the Indians have
received since he went “out there” doesn’t
seem to be any better. Indeed, there are
not quite so many Indians as there were
when he made his appearance among them.
More than passing strange was the death
of Prop ietor W. R. Abell of the Baltimore
Sun, Saturday morniug last, just at tha
hour when his sister was consecrating her
life to religious work by formally entering
the Convent of the Visitation at Washing
ton. But such singular things are con
stantly occurring.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1891.
Cause of the Indian Outbreak.
There is no doubt that had management
of the affairs of the Indians has had a great
deal to do with bringing about the present
Indian war. f'he Secretary of the Interior,
however, resents the charge that the Indian
bureau has been mismanaged or that it has
been mown to be incompetent.
But Dsouty Commissioner Robert V.
Belt is q loted as saying that the food ques
tion has had a good deal to do with tbe In
dian troubles. According to his sto y about
5(1 per cent, more food was furnished for
many months by the government to
the Sioux than they were entitled
to. They consumed it all, how
ever. They don’t stop eating as long as
there is anything to eat. When the mis
take was discovered the food supply was
reduced, and then the Indians began to
complain. And tbe reduction was made at
a time when the drought bad caused an
almost satire failure of the crops.
Was it not bad management that per
mitted a greater s tpply of food to be fur
nished tnan the contract with tbe Indians
called for? If the affairs of the Indians had
been carefully looked after by competent
agents, the mistake would not have oc
curred. Naturally the Indians complained
when the rations were cut down one-third.
Even civilized people would have com
plained.
But the Indian bureau c intends that the
Indians had no cause for complaint about
food, because they got all they were enti
tled to. That is only an excuse for ineffi
ciency and neglect of duty. If the extra
supply of food had not been furnished the
Indians would have been satisfied with what
they were getting, and there would have
bten no indications of dissatisfaction so far
as food was concerned.
And pe haps there would have been no
war. Now that the war lias been begun it
is impossible to predict with any degree of
certainty where it will end, or how many
lives will be lost. Old Indian fighters say
that the present Indian war promisee to be
the greatest of all the Indian wars in whioh
the country has engaged. It has alrea ly
been prolific of horrors. The government
has found it necessary to suspend one officer,
and it may order a thorough investigation
of the shootlug of Indian women and chil
dren.
It is true, of course, that tbe Indians are
treacherous and difficult to manage. For
that reason tbe government ought to be all
the more careful In the management of
them. It ought not to give them an excuse
for inaugurating a war—a war in which it
will be accorded very little glory, however
bravely and successfully the army may
fight. The criticisms on tbe war in the
foreign press have been anything but com
plimentary to the government.
Of course, the war having begun it must
go on until the government forces the hos
tiloa back upon the reservations and restores
peace. But it is sad to think how much
suffering must he endured and how many
lives may be lost before that can be done.
The Speaker of the Next House.
In commenting on the question of the
speakership of tha next House the
Now York JFoi-Icf says that the
country wants the fittest man for speaker,
and cares very little, if at all, from what
section of the country he comes. This
is the position the Morning Nkws has
taken, and it is the correct one.
Those who expressed the opinion that a
southern man ought not to be chosen speaker
because so many southern men
will occupy prominent places
on the committees, and that, them fore, the
republicans will charge that the south is
controlling legislation, forget that, at least
among democrats, the war feeling is a thing
of the past. As far as the Democratic
party jg concerned it doesn’t make much
difference what the republicans say or think.
They will find fault with the action of the
democrats whatever it may be. It is, there
fore, folly to abandon a course which com
mon sense dictates with the hope of
depriving the republicans of a chance of
making political capital.
And the common seuse course is to put
the fittest men obtainable in the places of
responsibility and power. An incompetent
man in the speaker’s chair could do the
Democratic party far more harm thau the
republicans could by anything that they
might say.
If the fittest mau for speaker is a north
ern man let him be chosen, by all means,
but if the man who ought to be sp -aker is a
southern man do not pass him by for policy’s
sake. No greater mistake could be made.
The way to win the respect and confidence
of tbe country is to pursue a frank and
straightforward course.
Pretty little Emma Abbott is no more, and
thousands of people all over the continent
are very sorry to know it. She was really
an honest little soul as ever the American
stage knew. And the love that she lav
ished upon her husband was positively
pathetic. It was born of gratitude for his
gracefully kindly aid in the years of her
early struggles with fame, which be greatly
lightened in the most delicate ways. Unlike
the husbands of most actresses he was
thoroughly a gentleman and entirely worthy
of her devotion. Those who have observed
her clingi :g caresses on the s age may
form some idea of the passionate ardor of
which she was capable. Very likely it was
her own kindness of heart in traveling sever
al mile® through the rain to sing to a dying
man that killed her by superinducing pneu
monia. But it doe® seem a trifle strange
that she should have died on the anniver
sary of her husband’s death, saying that her
next song will be in heaven. Few stage
people have led so blameless a life as poor
little Emma Abbott, whose tender sotigs
are now forever hushed "In the voiceless
sileuce.of the dreamless dust.”

Miss Gwendoline Caldwell is at present in
Washington, where she will remain for the

conspicuous place a portrait of Miss Caldwell.

Gidbon Marcum, one of the oldest, and cer
tainly the oddest citizen of Logan county,
West Virginia, died a few days ago.
His oddities made him a noted char
acter, known thro gbout that coun
try. Hs owned an immense and very valuable
trset of land on tne line of the new railroad,
and is believed to have a large am unt of
moner hidden away in the ground. He was
miserly and didn’t believe in banks, and consid
ered that the only safe plate of deposit was a
hole in the ground, with the location known
only to himself. He raised lar.-a numbers of
cattle on the wild pea-vine, which grow iu pro
fusion along the territory verging on Twelve-
Pole creek. It is said i hat the hiding places of
old man Marcum's wealth cannot be found.
One of the most popular men in Russia, fast

Father Iv.m of Cronstadt. During the last

1800, in the government of Archangel, in the far
north, and wa#settled in Cr mstadt thirty-five

thing of slow grjwt-h, for it is only durin the
last few years that those outside his own parish

I wu very much uji the Brooklyn
Eagle man, a few night* since, by a crowd of
* w stricken pecqlewho surrounded the man
sion of a famous New Yorker, on Fifth avenue.
Just this side of the para. The millionaire owner
was moving around quietly in the crowd, with
Lis trousers rolled up from the bottom and the
collar of his overcoat turned up about his ears.
He as. I think, equally interested in the ap
pearance of his house and the comments of the
crowd.
The Interest was due to an exhibition of lace
window curtains, which bad been embroidered
with heraldic devices of every conceivable or
der. Ail the burners on the firs floor had been
lighted, and. as it was dark without, there was
an admirable opportunity for a student in her
aldry to study the latest phase of angiomanla
in town. Every window had a ducal coronet or
some similar design, and there was an endle-s
wealth of crests, coats of arms and hriilia tly
hued quart rings. Some of the curtains must
have cost vast sums of money, for the intricacy
of the workflianship was apparent even to a
tyro in such matters.
. It is not an uncommon thing in Europe for the
head of a great and noble house to have a coat
of arms woven at times in bis tapestry, but it is
quietly, and not obtrusively, done. It strik-s
me that the bight of absurdity is reached wnen
an American citizen, whose father once drove
a canal boat mule, arrives at a point where be
a* umes the heraldic devices of such aino j*
houses as Devonshire, Marlborough, Manchester
and Argyll for his window curtains.
In Plain Figures.
“Well, I have les~ied one secret of success,”
said a successful young merchant whose show
window attracted me by reason of the plain
prices that were put upon *the goods as he was
doing up a couple of parcels for me, says a New
York He aid man.
“What is that?" I asked.
“It is putting a plain price on the goods—a
price which attracts attention from passers and
makes them come into the store. Now. 11l bet
you these two parcels that you never would
have come in if it hadn’t been for the prices you
saw outside.”
“That’s true,” I said.
“I knew it," he replied. “I know just how
you teei, for I always felt that wav m . self You
are the kind woo camot haggle ab >ut a pur
chase. You are willing to snend money freely,
but you don t like to get cheated, and when yo i
see a man turning his price marks to the wall
or using a blind mirk which you cannot read,
you at once say that man has two prices and
that you will get the larger,and you turn away.
Is n >t that so?”
"True as a trivet,” I said.
“I knew it. lam Just that wav myself. Why,
go down to John stree or Maiden lane at this
h liday season and what do you see? The
stores are full of mystical price signs. You
have heard that Maiden Line is a cheap place to
get jewelry, but you know full well that you
will have to pay an extra price for it at this
season, and you keep your money in your
pocket. But when you see my window and sto e
with inviting prices displayed wnere all can see
them you drop in, and lam the gaior. O, I
know a thing or two about human nature. The
very best customers are the timid ones, who do
not fear to spend money, but dread being im
posed upon.”
The young merchant laughed gleeful'y. Every
word tie said was the gospel truth. May he live
long and prosper!
A. Wansmsker ? uiday School Story.
Apropos of Philadelphia and her people, says
the New York Star, there is a story of Citizen
Wanamaker that has never been told. The
Postmaster General is the superintendent of
Bethany. Philadelphia’s biggest Sunday-school.
One Friday night last September, a lot of good
young men were holding an experience meet
ing in the first floor of the church. Between
t:.e hymns a strange noise was heard overhead.
The meeting was Drought to an abi u.t termina
tion, and the worshipers organized themselves
into an amateur detective force. Going up
stairs, they found aho e in one of the stained
glass wiudows of tue auditorium, and near the
chancel the silver communion service in a
leather bag After du t delibervtion they called
in a policeman, who discovered a sturdy young
burglar bidden in the organ loft. He was
taken only after a desperate struggle, during
which several of the good boys of the school
received black eyes.
Next m irning, before the magistrate, the
burglar said that he had a sick wife, no work
and a > ove p. vvering desire to reform. It had
been his first venture in the burglar line, and
if he were forgiven I e would join Mr. \Vana
maker s Sunday so .00l and be good. His story
was tound to be true. The case was held open,
and some of the members of the church went
to Washington and laid the matter before the
Post naster General. Mr.Wanamaker heard trie
story, and th n raid that, although it was very
sad. and tie felt very sorry tor tho young man,
he thought that the Bethan ■ people should see
to it, that the court should mete out full justice
to the culprit. His adv ce was taken, and the
young man is now serving six years. It is said
that Mr. Wanamaker frowned very sternly
when he heard how nearly the silverware o the
church got to the melting pot, but t at, on the
following Sunday, be spoke to the school with
emphasis and eloquence on “Practical Ch ls
tiauity, and Why Sinners Snould Be Forgiven.”
t-he Had Her Way.
Three of the cand dates for the speakership
of the next House, says the Washington Post,
were joking together a day or two ago over the
enterprise of a Washington correspondent who
had undertaken to name the speaker and the
chairmen cf the prominent committee* of the
next House.
"There’s many a Rltp ’twixt the cup and the
lip,” said candidate No. 1.
"I should ay so,” said candidate No. 2. “Out
in my state there were t .vo contestants for the
position of doorkeeper of the legislature. In
their canvas* of the state they met and com
pared note*. Each had pledges enough to elect
him. "What is the use,’ said one, ‘of wasting
more time and money? One of us is sure to be
elected. Let us go home, and we will agree that
whoever is chosen will appoint the other his
first ass stant.’ They agreed, and went ho ne.
When tue legislature met neither man got a
vote.”
Great laughter.
“There was a politician in my town,” said
candidate No 8. “who .as an applicant for the
county clerksb p. When I aske i him how he
was progressing, he showed me a boo r, in which
he had the n mies of 1,700 men who had said
they would vote for him. On election day that
man received just 128 vo'es. He told me after
word that there were 1,677 liars in that town,
and he could prove it.”
More laughter.
“I can discount your stories," said candidate
No. 1, who had been listening attentively to
these recita s. “In my town a man announced
himself as a candidate for sheriff when he
went home ami told bis wife what he had
done, she positively refused to agree to
live in the tumble-down dwelling ad
joining the county jail, which was the
sheriff 8 residence. Nothing daunted, the can
didate drove out six or seven miles to the jail
the following day with his wife, and the inspec
tion of the place simply confirmed the lad v in
her position They quarreled than and there,
and the husbmdand wife acually separated.
In theconvention the husband received only 17
votes and was t a last man in the race.”
• What, became of the wife?” asked the inter
este 1 auditors.
“Oh, she came back to her husbana.”was the
reply, "and nos had Ber own way with him ever
since.’’

Of lusty red roses
Beneath a red moon.

Dark gold of the sunset
Her fortune shall be.
And ever she whispers.
More tenderly sweet,
“Love am I; love only.
Love pe feet, complete.

It is scsoatD that the women who love bar
baric and oriental things are going to ad pt
Bernhardt's example and mi gle fur with
gauze. In one act of “Cleopatra" Sarah wears
ati .erskin bound about the hips over drap r

I swe ldom by some of the daring bides. Fancy
: skirts of green guaze, wild a scarf if ermine
about the hips. That surely would te effective.
Or picture some of these golden brown furs
over yellow gauze. Another trick of Sarah's
baa been caught—that of swathing a bodice on
instead of lacing or hooking it. The ungodly
cheese-c'o h is very susceptible of this treat
ment, and the girl who is slender and lithe

“The glorics uncertainty of racing,” said a
prominent turfman, “never received a better
illustration than in the sale of the Belmont
horses. The result recalls a frequent expres
sion of the late millionaire banker and horse
man. He was accustomed to say shor ly, when
people questioned him cn bis opinion about
future events, tnat the man who made turf pre
dictions courted ridicule. Tue enormous prices
which have been paid of late for crack thor
oughbreds led not a few of the men who hold
heavy financial inierests in horses to predict an
entire upset in uric- g The Belmont sale has
apparently done this. Many w agers were made
that Potomac would brine $10,003, and it was
expected that tie prices paid for Raceland,
Prince Royal and St. Carlo would al! amount to
enormou. Agues. Ths stringency of the money
ma ket had a good deal to do with the prices of
horses. Nearly all of the horse owners are di
rectly interested in Wall street, and a- fifty odd
poolrooms have b-en closed as tight as a
drumhead for the past six months in New York,
cash is not as plentiful as it used to be among
the bookmakers.”
A thoughftl man of advanced years who
sits all diy in a musty office in Chalmers street,
New York, and writes answers to c rre - pen
dents concerning tee game of poker tor a well
known newspaper, sad that he had not and of
la e that there was a decided falling off in the
number of poker stories. “I am afraid," he
said, "that it is due to the excessive imagina
tion on the part of poser entausiasts. It is a
very iificult thing to hold one’s self down to
fac s when dealing wit i the national game even
under the rao t favorable conditi >ns. A feeling
of suspicion comasover raenowadays with two
thirds of the letters that reach my table. I feel
more like a puzzle editor than a man who hag
made a study of the noble game and realizes
that a certai i amount of respons bility hangs
upon his decisions. Many of the stories ab ut
poker are pre; osterous in the extreme. Of
course, all things are possible in a game in
which luck plays such a conspicuous part, but
nothing will ever make me believe tnat straight
flushes are as common as they are represented
to be. I have played poker steadily and loyally,
in and out of the family circle, for tweaiy-thzee
years, and I’ve only held one straight flush in
all that time.”
The average southern negro, says a writer in
a northern paper, is not a good juror. He has
not the education, habits of thought and phi
losophy to take out of him the idea that he
must decide in favor of the man he likes the
best. One among many illustrations of this
statement was in a rec *nt murder trial in the
smith A weil-koown “man about town” was
accused of adeiib-rate a id unprovoked mur
der, and his acquittal by the jury was looked
upon in the community as a most flagrant mis
carriage of justice. One of the counsel for the
and fense was a distinguished lawyer who would
be absolutely incapable of bribing a juror
or of making even an indirect or re
mote promise, but who would not
be foolish enough to object if one of ids col
ored friends anil admirers should be called and
accepted as a juror. One of the jurors in this
particular case was a colored man who worked
at a hotel where the leading lawyer for the de
fendant was a frequent guest. The lawyer was
a liberil gen.leinan, who always gave rat fees
for “shines” and other services, and of whose
generosity the new fledged juror had ofteu been
a beneficiary. When that colored brother got
on tue Jury the olh r employes about the hotel
smiled unanimously and passed the opinion
th t it would be Impossible to convict th* de
fendant. There would be one juror to hang
out until doomsday.
Mr. F. P. Davis, division engineer in charge
of the Nicaragua canal, 1 as sent in a report to
the Nicaragua Canal Construction Company, in
which he says that all practicable routes have
been surveyed and the final location nearly com
pleted for all dams, embankments and locks.
Borings have been taken to the bottom of the
ca al and to the b ttoms of all foundations,
many of them being from 400 to 300 feet deep.
Surveys have been made for a railroad from
America to Ochoa across what has been con Ti
ered an impassable swamp between the San
Juan lagoon an l the Bernard lagoon. Ten
miles ot railroad were built, of which six were
laid through swamp. Great difficulty *as expe
rienced iu the construction of a telegraph line,
the first ten milts of which passed tur ugh a
deep swamp. The work of clearing for the
canal was begun last January, the chopping
be in ' done at a dis dvantuge -in toe wet
weather, so that the wood might be burned in
April. About eleven miles were oboppod to the
full width of 486 feet. Tne breakwater at Grey
town Harbor was bui t by drivin • piles out into
the harbor for a distance of 1,010 feet and build
ing stonework witii rook and gravel filling
aroun 1 them. The breakwater will be extended
1,000 feet farther, but the addition will be en
tirely of stone. The wall will have a sea
depth of thirty feet, and the harbor will
be dredved to the same depth uni
formly. Chief Surgeon J. Edward Stuffert re
ports faw rably on the health of the employer.
He states that only two-third- of 1 per cent, of
those admitted to the hospital with diseases
contracted in the country have died. Tne e
diseases are not, as general.y supposed, en
tirely malarial, since only 51 per ceut. at the
cases t eated in the past three months have
been due to fever in any form. A cable dis
patch to President Miller announces thatactual
canal excavations have begun on the canal, aud
that there are twelve feet of water on the bar
at Greytown. It is expected to increase this
depth to twenty feet in the next four weeks.
This will enable all vessels to discharge at the
company’s docks.
A Denver millionaire has just died and left
a New York widow who will c aim her dowry.
She is an actress of Spanish pedigree and a self
reliance that none knew the power of better
than the man who has just died, leaving a for
tune estimated at $3,000,000. Wm. B. Daniels
made his fortune not in C dorado mines, but in
good o|i-fashioned mercantile pursuits. In
1880 Donna Kadixxa, now r member of Au
gustin Daly's company, was the principal of a
sc 00l of oratory in Denver. See is as beautiful
as a dream, and as full of the Castilian fire of
her rase as any dark-eyed maiden tnat ever grew
to womanhood within the shadow of the Span
ish Pyrenees. Daniels, w, o was a widower
went all to pieces, so to speak, at first
sisht, and after a reasonable courtship
married the fair elocutionist. In six
months they separated, an octoroon
housekeeper at the Daniels homestead, whose
relations with the millionaire were said to be
somewhat off-color, being the final breaker on
which their marital bark went to pieces. Mrs.
Daniels took the stage under the nam of

One night after the theater she learned that a
savage attack was to bs made on her character
by a Denver paper the next day. She sat down
and wrote:
Midnight— Mr. Daniels; I have just learned
on good authority that you are about to publish
ma ioious stories defaming my character If
this is done—as there is a God in heaven I will
kill you the first time I see you.

She dared not trusts m-s enster. so she
donned hat and coat and wa k and, or rather ran
to Mr. Daniels' home, a distance of nearly a
mile from the hotel. Sle rang the bell wait- and

she afterward learned, Mr. Daniels’ secretary

that newspaper office with a speed that brought
him there in ample time to kill the article
which was to l ave been such spicy reading for
his wife’s enemies. That he in lited the stuff
cannot be proved; but he prevented itspublica
t on. To those who thought the threat merely
idle, and that his wife would not dare to carry
it out, Mr. Daniels made one remark- "She
would have kept her word. I know that
