If the Republican party leaders would try the sapie idea it might prove productive of equally satisfactory results. When the people of Atlanta have wit nessed the magnificent spectacular display In this city during the forthcoming Mer chants’ week they may be able to gather from it some excellent ideas for incorpora tion into the next show of the Piedmont Exposition Society. Savannah always has anew idea or two to give out. Another mammoth tin plate fakery has broken out in mammoth proportions some where in the region round about St. Louis. Just where it is located even its most inti mate friends do not seem to be able to defi nitely state. But it is to be there, and it is to be big. It is also to have all the advant ages prescribed in the McKinley bill for home industry. It is to be a republican campaign argument and therefore it has no very solid basis. That long promised sole of unpaid tailor’s bills created great amusement in the New York real estate exchange *he other day. Many of the debt ors bustled around and settled before the sale began. But the crowd had great fun when the auctioneer put up a bunch of bills amounting to S7OO, face value, against conspicuous dudes and sold them for only sl. Verily they are a cheap lot. If the tailor s didn’t get the worth of their money in fun then they are left. But it was a wicked ex posure of dudish penury. Troublesome Clergymen. The Episcopal church is having a good deal of trouble with some of her clergymen. The trial of the Rev. Mr. MacQueary of Canton, 0., on the charge of heresy at tracted a great of attention, and the decis ion of the ecclesiastical court suspending him for six months, and expelling him if he does not retract in that lime, has not been accepted without protest from prominent clergymen of the church. Mr. MacQueary regards himself as out of the caurch, be cause be has no intention of retracting. But he is a mach more popular man now than he was before his trial. He has just been invited to deliver a lecture before the Century Club in New York, and there is no doubt that he will be soon, if be his not been already, offered deeirableappointments in the Unitarian church. This readiness to protest against the action of the church does not show, of course, that the church that refused to retain him within her fold any longer acted unwisely, but it does seem to show that there is a growing hostility to creeds and canons. And the trouble that has just sprung up in the diocese of New York emphasizes this hostility. Two of the most popular Episco pal clergymen in New York city, the Rev. Dr. Ratnsford, of St. George’s church, and the Rev. Dr. Heber Newton, of All Saints’ Memorial church, have recently violated the canon which provides that clergymen of other denominations shall not occupy pulpits of the Episco pal church. It cannot be said that Dr. Ramsford and Dr. Hsber Newton have acted in ignorance of the canon in question. Their attention has been called to it by pro tests, and very emphatic ones, and yet they have gone on violating it. There is nothing morally wrong, of course, in what they are doing, and no one doubts that their iutem ions are good, but have they not bound themselves to be guided by the creed of the church, and have they not promised to obey its canons? If they are permitted to follow their own will with regard to the church’s canons, why should not the Rev. Mr. MacQueary be permitted to follow his judgment w ith regard to the church’s creed? And why should not other clergymen do as they please with regard to other matters con cerning which they may differ with the church ? These are questions which Episcopal olergymen in New York and elsewhere are asking, and they are waiting for answers. The Rev. Thomas Richey, professor of ecclestical history in tho General Theologi cal Seminary, speaking of the action of Drs. Rainsford and Heber Newton, said; “That sort of thing is only one phase of what I call religious quackery, and the clergymen who go In for it, no matter how worthy their motives and how great their abilities, are acting just as much as a doctor would be who advertised his cures in the newspapers! In resorting to thote sensational methods they are taking an un fair advantage of us, their brother clergy men, who regard ourselves as honorably bound to eschew such practices.” This sort of talk is calculated, of course, to arouse unpleasant feelings between clergy men, and also congregation*, and the right thing to do is to Btrike at the cause of it. And it is a matter of woider that Bishop Pot’er has said nothing about the trouble so far as the public knows. That he does not lack courage is certain. He was the first to de mand that the Rev. Mr. MacQueary should be called to account, and It is not probable that he will overlook the shortcomings of clergymen In his own diocese. The only thing for him to do if he wants to chock the trouble is to require the offending clergy men to respect the canon they have been violating. If tney refuse they should be dealt with just as the Itev. Mr. MacQueary was. The creed should be taught and the canons obeyed. If they contain errors, let the church correct them. If each individual clergyman is permitted to Bet up his judg ment and will against those of the church there will soon be an end of the church. A Romance of the War. The most novel of the many thousands of pending applications for pensions is that of woman. Her name is Hooker—Mrs. Mary E. Hooker—and there is not much doubt that her application will be speedily granted. When the war of secession be gan Mrs. Hooker was a pretty Cleveland (O.) girl, and her name was Mary E. Dewey. She had a sweetheart whose mime was Bei jamin Brown, and she was engaged to be married to him. When President Lincoln cal'ed for 75,000 volunteers Benjamin concluded that he was a patriot and that it was his duty to enlist. For the time being ho forgot pretty Mary Dewey—at least he preferred being a sol dier to staying at home and getting mar ried. He enlisted in the Twenty-sixth Ohio regiment, which was then under orders to proceed to the seat of war. But Mary couldn't bear to be separated from her lover. And yet separation seemed inevitable. Finally she thought of a way to satisfy her heart’s desire. She cut off her hair, attired herself in a suit of her brother’s clothes and presented herself for enlistment at a recruiting office in Cleve land. She was accepted under the name of Charles E. Dewey and was asugned to the company of which Benjamin was a mem ber. Side by side in many engagements Benja min and Mary fought, and they seemed to lead a charmed life. They escaped disease and the bullets of the enemy until the ba t e of Spottsylyania Court House was begun. In that engagement Mary received a gun shot wound in one of her limbs. She was taken to the hospital, and was bur sod by Benjamin with lover-like devotion. Bhe recovered and again joined her company. She and Benjamin fought through the en tire war without further mishap, and at its close they were married and settled down in a happy little home of their own. A few years ago Benjamin died and his widow, not relishing a lonely life, married a man named Hooker. Not being well pro vided with this world's goods Mrs. Hooker concluded to apply for a pension on her own account. As her disabilities are sufficient to entitle her to one it will not be lone, prob ably, before she will be in receipt of enough from the government to insure her against want for the remainder of her days. It was through her application that her romantio story got into print She proved herself to be a brave woman and undoubtedly de serves all the pension laws can give her. Whenever the republican county com mittee of New York is not engaged in firing out the Wicked Gibbs that is a very dull week in the party fold. But he has as many lives as a cat Their activity in put ting him out is only equaled by his agility in getting back. That is the Thirteenth dis trict. Possibly the hoodoo number has something to do with the committee’s hard luck. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 29, 1891—TWELVE PAGES. Schemes in the Appropriation Bills. The country it familiar with the fact that the last congress was the most extravagant one in the history of the country. It ap propriated $1,000,000,001), and a great deal of that amount was for schemes and jobs of one kind and another. One by one those schemes and jobs are being expo ted. A very little one was discovered the other day. It was worked into the Indian appro priation bill t.y Senator Quay. The story is that when the commissioner of Indian affairs got a copy of the Indian appropria tion act he found that permission bad been given his bureau to employ a stenographer and typewriter at a salary of $1,400 a year. He had asked for no such permis sion and he was at a loss to account for the generosity of congress. He was casting about in bit mind for the name of seme one of his friends upon whom to bestow the nice little salary, when he re ceived a visit from Senator Call and Con gressman Davidson, who told him that they came to explain the item in the appro priation bill which related to a stenographer. They told the commissioner that nobody asked for the appropriation, but that Sena tor Quay bad it put into the bill for the benefit of a person in Florda—somebody whom Mr. Quay had met when fishing in Florida—and it was expected that the com missioner would appoint this person. It seems that Senator Call and Congressman Davidson had nothing more to do with the matter than to deliver Senator Quay’s mes sage. The commissioner told them that no one could lw appointed who bad not been recom mended by the civil service commission. Senator Call is reported to bare said that it was the understanding that the appointee ■to the place should be exempt from the civil service rules, but tbat for some reason this understanding was not carried oat. It may be, therefore, that Senator Quay’s Florida friend will not have a chance to run a typewriting machine in the Indian bu reau. But does not this $1,400 appropriation disclose a very sad state of affairs? Here is an instance where the people's money is used to reward a man for showing a senator whero to catch flsb. And perhaps this man catches the worms with which the senator baits his hook. This little job doesn’t, of course, cost the people a great deal, but it is only one of many, and is. perhaps, the smallest m the lot It is certainly time the democrats had control of the government Who the Bank Robbers Are. Those who rob banks now a days are not men who operate in the night with burglars tools and dark lanterns. They are men who are regarded as financiers and who pass for gentlemen until they are caught The most of them are found in New York city, and quite a number of them are in the peniten tiary. Ferdinand Ward is one of them, and he is now in Sing Sing. James D. Fish was anotner, and he has lately been released from the Auburn prison. Eno would have been sent to prison if he had not escaped to Canada. Peli, the broker, is in Sing Sing, and Gen. Claassen has been sentenced to a term in the same prison. James A. Simmons was c mulcted of embezzlement the other day, and there is not much doubt that he will soon be wearing the clothes of a convict. These are only a few of the bank robbers. All of them were prominent in financial circles in Now York. And it is thought to be not improbable that John S. Silver will have to answer in court tho question whether or not he is a bank robber. He succeeded in getting $250,- 000 from the banks on very questionable security. The embarrassed condition of the VVashington National Hank is largely due to the loans made to him on securities that are comparatively worthless. SUvei’s rise to riches has been rapid. It has not been many years since he was a bootblack on Long Island. During the last half-dozen years he has posed as a man of fashion, driven fast horses, and lived fast generally. How he succeeded in bam boozling bank presidents and bank directors is one of the things that have not yet been explained. There are men, doubtless, holding respect able positions in Wall street who ought to be iu the penitentiary. It is safe to say that some of them will finally land there. It must be said, to the credit of New York, that her courts do not show bank robbers much mercy. When the evidence against them can be obtained they are given their deserts. It is regretted, however, that more of them are not caught. Fin a locks and burglar proof safes are not a sure protec tion against them. Time are more to be feared than burglars, becauso they rob those who trust them. One of the queerest cases that bas lately been presented for the decision of a court 4s that of a Newark lady who was sued by her dressmaker because she refused to re ceive a garment that she thought did not fit. It greatly puzzled the learned jurist. Before he would eveu undertake to consider the case he required the lady to put on the objeotionable costume. Eveu then the judge was perplexed. Clearly his knowledge of female drapery was not extensive. After a somewhat critical survey of thb shapely litigant he finally called in his wife to con sult upon the case. Between them they eventually concluded to defer judgment. Such a question was too much for even a Now Jersey court. Possibly the discreet justice called in his domestic adviser as a measure of protection against those warring women. There is no apparent reason why the burial of Actor Lawrence Barrett under Catholio auspices should create so much comment as it has evoked. If the state ment of young Father Sherman is true he was accorded a special dispensation for that purpose. Knowing that his life-long histrionio friend was a Mason the priest had asked and received permission to say a sim ple prayer over the dead man’s bier, on con dition that no masonic ceremonies should be introduced. That’s all there was of it, aud it constitutes no ground for complaint from the most devout Catholic. What may have been done by the Cohasset priest under misapprehension and without knowing of the masonic affiliations of the dead does not in anywise alter the case. Factions in the Minnesota legislature are engaged in a red-hot contest about the prospective removal of the capital from St. Paul. So much animosity is manifested against that city by the people in some of the other towns that it is somewhat strange they do not pass a bill proposing to have the name of St. Paul stricken from the scriptures. What is known in many of the state* as “Arbor day,” on which children in festive attire plant trees and shrubs in public plaoes, appears to be so very pleasant a ceremony that it is a pity the celebration is not more general. PMBONAL The daughters of the Princes* of Wales are said to be able to go into the kitchen and cook a meal s victuals, but they never do it. Miss Zoe Gattos. the cross-country pedes trian. expects to finish ber long tramp from San Francisco to Hear York on Sunday. Mrs Nellie Blessing Eywter, president of the Women's Press Association of the Pacific coast, is a grandniece uf Baruara Fnetchie Mme. Alroni, now In London, celebrated her 65th birthday on March 13. and sang Gounod's “Are Maria ” with all of her old time power. Bitting Bull’s old raddle is now on exhibi tion at Jacob Ruppert s brewery, in New York It was presented to Mr. Ruppert by W. D. Flower of Manhattan, Mont. Ex-Congressmas Frank of Missouri thinks that Maj. McKinley will be nominated aDd elected governor of Ohio, and tbat this will make him “a mighty strong candidate for Presi dent in 1C92. ” Rev. Dr. Hf.ber Newton and the Rev. Dr. Rainsford of New York are threatened with a roasting over the religious coals because they are thought to hold the doors of the Episcopal church too wide open. Prof. Guillaume has been the guest for sev eral days of Julius Brown of Atlanta He is at work upon a portrait of Gen. Johnston for Mr. Brown, using in his work a photograph taken about six months ago • The Govermos General of India, the vice toy, receives a salary of $350,000 a year, with allowances that include a gorgeous palace at Calcutta ahd a summer residence, all making his position worth $500,000 a year. Senator Ignatus Donnelly of Minesota in a flight of eloquence the other day, waved his band toward the visitors' gallery and shouted: " there are our superiors'" Whereat the “u;e riors" cheered so lustily that they were inconti nently put out. Joseph R. Anderson, Jr., the proprietor of Thorncliff farm, in Goochland county, Ya.. and W. H. Marrett of New York, have purchased "Browning, ’the young stallion owned by Sec retary of the Navy Tracv. This animal will bo 4 years old next tail. Ex-Ssnator Blair expects to leave for China where he will represent this government as minister, in about a month or six weeks. He will take his law books with him to brush up hlo knowledge of law and be read* on his return to re-enter the practice of his profession. Thomas W. Knox concludes tbat history has fully established that Capt. Kidd buried no treasure except on Gar Jners Island, and this, amounting, w th what ne had on b. ard his ves sel, to about $70,000. was sec rad by the Earl of Bellamont, governor of the British colonies in New England. Still the industry of locating Kidd’s buried treasure by means of dreams, etc., may be expected to go od Indefinitely. Dr. Peabody of Harvard, who has just entered the ranks of the octogenarians, is a little absent minded at tim< s. One summer day, having come into Boston from Cembridgu, and having alighted from the car at Bowdoin square, he turned a sharp corner and collided with an elderly gentleman who was standing with his hat off. wiping the perspiration from bis fore head, but who held tns hat in such a wav as to give the appearance of bogging. Dr. Peabody seeing the hat dropped a qua ter into it with his customary Kind remans. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was holding the hat, put the money in his pocket, solemly thanked his old friend, the giver, and passed on. BRIGHT BITS. Sanso—What is going on in society, old man?

A young American gentleman engaged in serious conversation with a French lady, thinking to pay h. r a compliment because of the wisdom she was displaying, exclaimed: “ Madame , vouz e:es une sage femme." Instead of smiling an acknowledgment, as was her cus tom on such occasions. Madame marched away in high dudgeon. No wonder. Tne un lortunate young man had called her a midwife. Had he said femme sage, madams would prol> ably have understood him correctly, though even then sage thus applied to a woman more often means virtuous than wise. Married Because They Were 8o Poor. Half a dozen men were discussing the prob lems of marriage, says the New York Herald. in the cafe of the Southern Society one evening iaat week. "These young New Yorkers make me very weary." said a Kentucky colonel “I mean these young ptople who. though in receipt of zood inco nes, sp-nd all their money in tom foolery, and then say they can't afford to marry.” “I agree with you. colonel." said a Maryland gentleman from Prin.ess Anne county. “If a man wants to marry he never reckons the cost lam reminded ot a story of two of our (Id house servants They had both been in our family for years. When the emancipation proclamation was signed wn told them they were free. We sympathized w.th the north during the war, you know "We could scarcely drive them away with a club, however. They had been born and reared on the place. Sam had lost his wife. He was ?0 years of age. Old Kate was our 'mamma ' She was 60 or 70. Her nusbaod was killed duck shooting a dozen years before the war. It was a great b.ow to the old people when we told them they would have to go. They did not want to leave us and hustle for themselves, but we could ill afford to keep them at that time. It was particularly hard for the old 'mammy.' She thought we children all belonged to her. "Finally we compromised the matter and let old Kate have the use of one of the cabin* and work on the place. She went to live in a little shanty in the town a mile or two away. Kate did washing, and Sam did washing, too, when ever he could get a job—white washing I mean. "We were astonished one day at hearing that these old creatures, each with one foot in the grave, bad marri-d. My father sent me to Sam to learn if the re. ort was true. X found him whitewashing the wooden fence around his shanty. “ Sam, - I said, 'what in the world have you and old Kate been up to, marrying at your age? What did you do it for?’ •■’Wny, Massa Will,’ he replied, ‘yo' see it war this way. Ole Kate an' I were a talkin', an' I say to Ole Ksle, ‘Kate, we po’ fool niggers. I'se done live 'bout's lon. s I keer to.' " ‘An' Kate, she say, 'I dunno 'bout dat, Sam, but guess yo' is tollin’ de truff.' “ ‘So Kate, sh* say as how she's ole too, an' can't grow much ol’er, and how she po' and can't be no poo'er. An’ so we 'elude to get married, kase we can't be no ol'er, nor no poo'er when we s married den when Kate is jus’ Kate, an’ Sam's jut’ Sam.' ' “And so those two old darkies were married,” said the Princess Anne man, “because tney were old and could not live much longer, and because they were poor and could not be any poorer whether they were single or married ' The story touched the warm spot in the breast of the Kentucky co onel. who forthwith cele brated old Sam's philosophy by ordering up a round of the old Kentucky bourbon for which the Southern society's cel.ar is famous. _ "Here’s to the memory of old Sam atid old Kate,” said the colonel, draining his glass. “Write the story," he said to a newspaper man present, “f'erhaps someone will take the hint and do as old Sam and o.d Kate did.” ‘ .... i- , | They Didn’t Walt lor the Train. A few days before his death, A. Miner Gris wold, “The Fat Contributor,” described to a party of friends in Indianapolis, says the Senti nel, his experience with Artemus Ward when the two were sent by the Cleveland P aindeaier to report the visit of the Prince of Wales to a certain town in Canada, “We alignted," he said, "at a station where we waited an hour or two for the royal train. The Canucks were out in force, with banners, bands and songs, to show their loyalty. When one band got through playing 'God Save the Queen' another would take it up. and when they got tired some wild chorus would burden the air with it. Then the bands would take t up. and so it continued until Artemus got a place where he could overlook the crowd, and demanded si lence. The music ceased, the singing was at an end, and everybody turned with astonish ment at the intrusion. I got as near Ward as possible, for I had been pushed back by the crowd that hastily gathered about him. lal most had a fit, for I knew what was c iming, and it came with awful force. ‘Ladies aud gen tlemen. said Ward, hesitating for a moment as he took in the upturned faces of the people below him. ’Ladies and gentlemen, no one more than I can appreciate the grandeur of measure and nobleness of sentiment expressed in the music with which the air for hours has been filled. But I think—l think—that bis royal highness since his coming to American shores has heard God Save the Queen' so often that he would be ready to say quits.' Ward then fell off his barrel, box, or whatever it was, on which he stood as the mob rushed a ainst it. Oaths and denunciations of the • Yankee’ were ter ifle, as the maddened Canucks sought to reach and pummel the life out of him. Two burly fel lows at last caught him as he was daabing through the door of a store near tho station and were about to make short work of him. This was my opportunity in getting a place where I could command the mob. I felt several inches taller than Ido now when I saw the spirit of fr -nzy stilled by my shouting. “Friends, let him alone. He does not know what he says. He is irresponsible at any time, but more so when a spirit of lunacy comes upon him as it has done now. lam taking him to an asylum up the country, and this unfortunate circumstance would not have occurred had I been more watch ful. But he escaped me ten minutes ago, and I was iu search of him when the crowd about him prevented me reaching him in time to qui t him.

Prom the New York Independent. “He came, therefore, and took the body of Jesus.”—St. John xix., 36. No plaintive hymn or word of prayer Cos i.es floating on the evening air; No priestly voice, with sacred rite. Breaks on the stillness of the night; Nothing relieves the solemn gloom That gathers round the rich man's tomh No long procession wends its way Along the road from Calvary; No measured tramp of human feet Is heard resounding through the street; And only strangers come to mourn, While Jesus to his rest is borne. It is the funeral of a King! And yet no muffled vespers ring; The funeral of the King of Kings! But still no earthly monarch brings A royal retinue to swell The honors of his burial. Down in his grave, with less parade, No humblest man was e\er laid. A few poor, wretched women weep. Looking on Him in his calm sleep; None of His own disciples there. The service of the dead to spgre. With hastened hand and hurried stir Men place the spices and the myrrh Within the linen cloth that’s wound His scarred and sacred body round; And then, with reverent step, they lay His precious, mangled form away. The work is done and all is still— The empty cross upon the hill Ca ts its dark shadow on the ground; The Paschal moon illumes the mound Where Jesus sleeps, secure from harm, Beyond the reach of hostile arm. In the lone garden where he lies No sounds from human voices rise, But angels chant their anthems hare. ITnheard by any mortal ear; Watcning ail through the night alone— Waiting to roll away the stone. They Bad Their Revenge. An amusing scene was witnessed in Main street a few days ago, in which a conductor on a West avenue car figured in a ridiculous light, says the Buffalo Exprese. The passengers included three women and two children. As the car passed Niagara square one of the young women pulled the bell-cord in a frantic manner, and the car came to a sudden halt An old woman, who was waiting for the car to paas. eluded It, and the young woman who pulled the bell looks! the least bit crestfallen. The conductor looked mad and stariel the car np in a hurry. Then a woman on the other side of the car made a wild dash at the bell-cord, again stopping the car, but she made no effort to disembark, and when the conductor glared at her like a wild beast she meekly stammered; "I thought that young woman wanted to get off.” “Now, if you women will let me manage the car and keep your bands off the bell-rope 111 be obliged to you,” gruffly said the irate con ductor. The women blushed but said nothing. They were amply revenged soon after. At the junc tion of Main and Niagara streets, the conductor beat a sudden retreat lato the street railroad office without ringing for the driver to halt When the conductor reappeared his car was at Seneca street. He jumped on board of another street car and It went down Main street at a three-minute clip, the conductor yelling Uke a Comanche In dian in order to attract the attention of the runaway driver, but in vain. The people on Main street hardly knew what to make of the •erne, but the women on the West avenue car e ijoved the fun immensely. "He said he'd manage the car,” said one of them, “and I won't interfere with his business."’ ITSM3 OF INTBREST.

Ta* jcry In the case of Eggleston, Kimberly, Carey and Snyder, representatives of the Gran ite State Provident Association, charged with conspiracy to defraud, returned a verdict of guilty, recommending Snyder to the extreme mercy of tne court, aays the Cincinnati Co-op erative ,Yei et. Counsel for the defendant then entered a plea of nolle contendere as to two other similar indictments. Prompt vekoiakce has fallen upon Ramni asatra, governor of the province of Belanona, Madagascar, who, according to news received at Paris on March 4, massacred 278 persons, in cluding men, women and children t> 'longing to the leading families. Dispatches just received bn Paris stat<- that Ramiasatra. with his brother, who is supposed to have instigated the mas sacre. have been executed on the spot where the wholesale killing took place under the cruel governor’s directions. During the course of the massacre m iny cf the women who were put to death were first outraged. In the case of al! the victims their bodies were thrown to the dogs. In addition to these atrocities, the survivors were compelled to eject a trophy composed of the heads of the murdered people upon a spot near the scene of the butchery. The German Emperor’s mental peculiarities are the occasion of much gossip in Berlin. It is stated that he has twice summoned Chancellor Caprivi to the palace after midnight without any conceivable motive an i that he has alarmed the palace guard by his sudden appearance in uniform at times when he was supposed to be in oed. His views on public questions have lost coherence, and at one time he denounces the conservatives and at another the social demo crats It is rumored that Count Schouvaloff has stated since his return to Russia that the conduct of the Kaiser should be weighed only as that of an irresponsible person. The arrest of Rector Vogei of the Berlin college on a charge of lese M 'jeete was caused by a remark of his to the effect that the emperor was as ignorant of educational affairs as he was of military matters. The effort to save the neck of Isaac Smith is one of the most persistent and remarkable in the history of Ohio. Eight times reprieved, he will now probably be grauted anew trial, the judiciary committee of the House baying re ported favorably the bill giving the governor such power. Tue reasons for such exertion in behalf of Smith form a subject for interesting psychological reflection. Ke is not rich; he has no social standing himself, nor has any of his immediate or remote family; he has no political pull, nor does he belong to any , rder w hich is bolstering up his case. Finally, the evidence in his case is as near conclusive as such such evi dence can be; at least, many men have been hanged upon less convincing testimony. What, then, has saved Smith’s life thus far? The answer is undoubtedly his manly comeliness. He doesn't look as if he would commit such a crime. An ugly, vicious looking man would have moldered to dust long ago. So we two years aoo Juan Quintana, who is consul general of Peru in New York, with an office at 15 Whitehall street, brought to this country a little Spanish girl named Mary De vomce, and thechild has sinct lived in his family as a domestic. Tuesday night a woman named Annie O'Brien took the girl to the West One Hundred street police station with a deep gash in her forehead. The child said tnat Mrs. Quin tana had struck her on the head with the heel of a shd£. Notice was sent to Mr. Gerry’s society, and Agent King took the child to the society’s headquarters The-e she told a story that seemed almost incredible. She said that she was a slave, having been purchased by Mr. Quintana in Peru for S3OO and brought here to attend on Mrs. Quintaua. That lady, the girl said, had treated her ith the utmost brutality, beating her at the slightest provocation. Tues day night Mrs. Quintana stiuck her because she could not find a button-hook. The child was taken before Justice Divver, at the Harlem police court, Wednesday morning. Mr. Quin tana, who bad been notified by Agent K ng, was present. He said that his wile was not well ami could not come to court, aad the caso was ad journed for further investigation, the child re maining meanwhile in Agent Barkley's care. Life at Sandringham is very simple. The Prince of Wales breakfasts with his sons and any male members of the royal family who may be there: the princess i realfasts in her private apartment, while the young princesses break their fast in an old-fashioned room still known as the school-room. Wnen this meal is over they come down to say good morning to their fatner, and are usually accompanied by a group of pet dogs. Tue gentlemen go out shooting or riding, while the ladies in the house amuse themselves with bools and papers, ami, latei in the day, are joined by the princess. Luncheon brings all together, and this informal meal is, when the season will permit, served in a tent put up in the woods near where the mighty hunters are. The princess leads the procession, goin :to this in a smart yellow cart drawn by the plumpest of ponies, driving herself and one of her lady guests. She is, by the by, an ex tremely good whip. Luncheon over, the ladies return to Sandringham House, everybody meeting again at 5 o'clock tea, and dinner being served in tne dining room at about 8:30 o’clock. The prince and princess dine with their guests, the princess sitting in the center of one side of the table, while the prince is exactly opposite. When dessert is served a piper plays the bag pipes in the corridor outside in veritable High land style—that is, pacing backward and for ward. Mr. and Mrs. Littledale’s adventurous journey across the Pamir and the Hindu Kush into India will bear fruit in a volume of travels which should be one of considerable interest. The travelers left Odessa in the eariy summer, and, crossing the Caspian, reached Osh, in the heart of Central As,a, in May. They were ac companied by a Russian and a Persian in terpreter and six or seven followers. After fol lowing the Gulcha river the three passes crossed were from 12,000 to 14,500 feet high. The Bash Garabaz pass was blocked with snow, so the Alichur river was followed, and the Kbargosh pass crossed, after which a descent was made to Kila Panjah. in Afghan territory. The scenery is described as magnificent, a high range with glorious peaks bounding tbe view to the south, separating tne Pamir from Wak lian. Crossing the Kojigit Pass, the party reached the Little Pamir, and then, going along the WaUbauriv , arrived at Sarhad on|.luly 12. iarhad is m Afghan territory, and tue Afghans were friendly, though tuere appears at first to ■ate been some commotion, tbe party being inspected of being spies, A halt of ten days iad to be made to fit the travelers for the ardu ius work of crossing the Hindu Kush. Cross ng the Wakhan and over the Darkot Pass, they irrived on Aug. 8 at Gilglt, where they were • elcomed by Lieut. Manners Smith and Dr. foberts. This fresh and charming glimpse of the most famous of our new southern novelists, Amelia Rives, is from a letter written by a young Bos ton lady, Miss Florence Robinson, who is study ing art with Mrs. Chanler: “A few evenings since I received a pretty note from Mrs. Chan ler (Amelio Rives), inviting me to dine witn her that very evening. I called. She h.s a palatial apartment on the Avenue Bois du Boulogne, en entresol. I was never so astonished as when she entered the salon, a perfect beauty, with a mass of golden hair, gri at, soulful, luminous gray eyes, and a complexion that is exquisite. She wore a white tea gown, partly open in front, exposing a mass of soft, white, braided lace, a gold girdle about her waist, a tiny red silk turban on her beautiful head, and red hose and slip pers. withal she was a perfect picture, but very weak from her prolonged illness, which was not improved by her literary labors, although she is much better than she was. I stayed to dinner, and although it was what she called a home meal, only six being present, still it was most artistically served. 51enu cards, mounted on silver, colored candles in silver sticks, great clusters of white lilacs decorated the table and were scattei ed in well-judged profusion about the room. Her dinner costume was a soft cling ing gown of a light blue shade, with a heavy blue rope girdle, and a plaited cape made of the same material as her gown, carelessly thrown thrown about her shoulders. She is a brilliant conversationalist, and we all grew bright in her presence, so the dinner was ‘one of enjoyment to me. After it was over, and I sat beside her, and we had coffee and chatted of art, and her forthcoming new book, she spoke of her husband, who is in America, saying how she missed him, but her main interest is in her new book, "The Girl of the Pavement,” which is in the hands of her New York publishers. She says she is afraid some will misconstrue her intention in noting the name and nature of the book, but she writes so as to bring more clearly to Christian mothers aud sisters of the world tbe terrible fate they may spare many unfortunate sisters by a kind word or deed. The book is to show a Iso that the classing of a certain class of women's exis tence unto a butterfly life is far from a correct notion of thsir terrible daily ordeals.” CHRISTOPHER GRAY <*: SOS LOOK AT OLK Light-weight Black Dress G-oods.
