A SNEAK THIEF’S WORK.
A Clever and Bold Theft on Abarcorn
Street.
A bold theft by a sneak thief was re
ported to the Morning News yesterday.
Mrs. G. H. Laird, who lives at 23 Aber
corn street, went out shopping Wednesday
afternoon. She had bought the cloth and
other material for a gray heurietta dress,
as a present for a young lady friend who
was shortly to bo married, intending it as a
bridal dress.
She came in from the street with the
bundle, and placing it upon a table in the
parlor, stepped into another room to look
after some small matter. Coming hack into
the parlor not more than two minutes after
she was surprised to find that her bundle
was not there. Calling the servant girl she
asked her if she had taken the bundle into
another room. |
The girl said she had seen nothing of the
bundle. She said a woman had just left
the house with a bundle which she sup
posed at the time was the laundry. She
gave a descrintion of the woman, whom she
said was a tall mulatto, arid this with other
circumstances was sufficie it to show that
the woman had entered the house almost
immediately after Mrs. Laird and had
quietly slipped out with the bundle.
Search was made for the thief, but noth
ing had been heard of her up to last night.

A EIG STRIKE AT ST. LOUIS
A Belief That Fully 5.000 Men Will
Demand an Right Hour Day.
St. Louis, Mo., April 30. —If the divelnjv
ment in the labor situation can be sad to be
a forerunner of what is to hajpen to
morrow one of the mo t serious itrikes in
the history of St. Louis is in: mi runt. The
number of men who will go outwill num
ber fully 5,000. The carpeners’ coun
cil has received notice from the
headquarters of the Brotherhood of Car
penters ardJoiuers at Philadelphia warn! g
the members to stay away f-om East St.
Louis ou and after May 1, as fee prospect
of trouble there is very imminent. The men,
it seems, have been preparing for trouble on
the east side of the river as wU as in St.
Louis proper. Their strength in East Bt.
Louis is estimated at 700, which includes
the workmen in several of the surrounding
towns and villages.
A REMAND TO BE PRESENTED.
This matter has been kept very quiet,
but it is understood in labor circles
in this city that the bosses will to-morrow
morning be presented with a demand that
eight hours constitute a day’s work at the
old pay for ten hours. At the Central
Trades and Labor Union head
quarters this morning a list of
probable strikers was made out by
Secretary Mac.Mahon as a close estimate of
the number of men who will strike to-mor
row. This list is a? follows: Carpenters
2,100, marble cutters 300, tinners 750, Inside
wire men 125, architectural iron workers
850, malsters (uncertain) 1,200, union strip
pers 500; total 5,525.
EVICTIONS STILL IN FR3GRE33.
Sixteen Families Thrown Out of Tceir
Eomea at Scottdale.
Pittsburg, Pa., April 30.—A special
from Scottdale, Pa., says: “Sheriff Mc-
Cormick has resumed evictions and threw
out sixteen families this morning. They
offered but little resistance. To-day the
Frick Company received fifty more men for
their Leiainring works, making an increase
of 350 to their working force since
Monday. The Keister plant resumed work
at fifty ovens this morning at the miners’
terms. Fifty-six men brought from Car
negie’s plant to Adelaide refused to work
to-day. The sheriff was busy ail the after
noon evicting families at Summit, ami ac
cording to tho latest reports everything is
quiet lu the region.”
A Question For the Mayor.
Editor Morning News: Has our hon
orable mayor already shown the “white
flag” in reference to allowing porsons to
ride and drive in the parade ground?
Judging by appearances, he has either done
so for the convenience of a few, or has for
gotten the blessing he once conferred upon
the many, who are kept in a state of tor
ment expecting every moment to be run
over by a senseless fop. Parade.
EXPERIMENTAL MARRIAGE.
As Bald to Be Practiced in a Strange
British Colony.
From the London Truth.
The Andaman islands are used as a penal
settlement for Indian and Burmese con
victs, who, with the exception of a very
limited aboriginal race scattered over the
group, form a bulk of the population. The
isolated situation of the settlement in the
Bay of Bengal, the absence of communica
tion by cable, the small military
force maintained and the fact that about
15,000 convicts are here resident, render it
necessary to endow the chief commissioner
with more than the ordinary powers ex
tended to governors. Hence the chief com
missioner of the Andamans, who is also
superintendent of the convict settlement at
Port Blair by virtue of tho almost auto
cratio authority vested in him, enjoys a
despotism well nigh iucredible under the
British flag.
Such powers being concentrated in a
single individual, it may well be imagined
that from time to time some rather start
ling revelations leak out. I only propose,
however, to refer for the present to our
marriage customs, which have novelty, if
nothing else, to recommend them. The
chief commissioner, as superintendent of
the settlement, iu convict matrimonial
matters is supreme. He is licenser, regis
trar, parson and witnesses rolled into one.
The greater part of the life convicts, who
are good characters, are “self-supporters,”
that is, men out on tioket-of-leave in the
settlement. These men are allowed to
marry. The oonvlet women, on tho other
hand, are always kept under close super
vison in the female convict jail.
When the “self-supporter” is troubled
with hymeneal aspirations he visits the fe
male jail and informs the overseer. The
lattor Individual orders a parade of those
women of good character who have eom-
Eleted four years in the island. The would
e Benedict then passes ulong the ranks
with a view of selecting a likely helpmate.
As might be expectod very eager are the
faces and loving the glances be
stowed upon him as he does so. While the
overseer’s head is turned the women en
gage in every variety of pantomimic efforts
to display their qualifications for the post,
Should the overseer absent himself for a
moment, the coveted bachelor, tnough tie
bo an octogenarian, is assailed on all sides
with a view to tiis conquest.
Such phrases as “Here take me!” “No,
me!” “Why, she’s got red hairl” “She’s
cross-eyed!” do not make matters easier for
him. At length, having suited himself, he
takes by the hand the lady of his choice
and leads her from the ranks. The couple
are then allowed half an hour to discuss
matters, after which, if they agree, their
names are sent into the bead office. A day
or two later they attend the commissioners,
and are there put through an examination
as to the etate of tbeir affections and their
inclination to marry; but no awkward
questions are ever raised concerning possi
ble existing husbands or wives beyond the
seas.
And now comes the climax. Supposing
satisfactory answers have been given as to
their mutual sentiments, the lady is handed
ovpt to tho man—not to become his wlfo
for better or worse, but for a seven days’
trial. During these seven days she lives
with him, and the relationship of the pair
is that of a married couple. At the expira
tion of the term of approval, if both are
agreeable, they return to the chief com
missioner’s office and are married by that
gentleman. If, on the other hand, either
of them dees not approve of the other, the
man is left to go his way, while the woman
returns to her old routiue of work io< the
female jail.
The worstfeature of the system is the
fact that, as might be anticipated, children
are occasionally born of these probationary
unions. Toßtich infants the state assumes
the responsibilities of a stepfather. Born
illegitimate, with the cognizance and sanc
tion of tho authorities, reared in a convict
jail among the worst closi of women, all of
Whom are life convicts, and, finally,
without a relative or friend on the face of
the earth, thrown into the world to make
their own living, the position of these
children is not pleasant to contemplate.
A wins agent who deals in champagne in the
Rue Richer, Paris, was visited some months
avo by a young man of stylish appearance and
gentlemanly manners, wno descriued himself
as the nephew of M. Waddingtou, the French
ambassador in London. Ttui visitor, who gave
the name of M. Morrissot, said he was in
struct and by hii uncle to order for him several
case i of rather expensive champagne. Of
course the agent jumped at the order, and
asked him to dinner. At table the guest hinted
that he would not be displeased with a commit
sion on all orders sent to the ambassador, and
the arent said he would glsdlr oblige him in
the matter. Orders followed in largo numbers,
M. Waddinzton. to whom they were sent direct,
thinking the while that they were presents
from generous friends who preferred to rent tin
unknown. His disappointment on receiving
the agent's bill may be imagined- He replied
that be bad empowered uobodytn purchst
ctiampagne for him, and that he knew noLudy
of the name of MorrUaot. The latter has now
got out of the way.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 1,18 m.
“INJUN MSAL.”
Extracts from a Lectur® Delivered by
the Late A. Minor Griswold.
From Texas Siftings.
My subject is “Injun Meal." My lecture
is a scientific treatise on the American In
dian. I shall treat the Indian fairly. I
shall not treat him so often as he would like,
but I will treat him honestly and scientific
ally, with no humor or levity.
It is comparatively but a few years ago
that this vast continent, now re-onant with
the hum of commerce and manufactures,
and radiant in tho garb of civilization, was
one vast forest, in which the Indian ruled
supreme. But the Indian has been com
pelled to retire. I put it as mildly as pos
sible out of consideration for the feelings
of any sensative savage who may be in this
assembly to-night—to retire before the ou
ward march of civilization. “Ho has been
compelled,” in the language of an el -quant
Indian orator, “to land on other lands, au#l
to climb—other cli.qies” and, I might add,
to live—on ether liver! Once he wore the
white man’s scrip at his belt, but now the
white inuu “belts him over the ncalp.” He
ha-* followed upon the scent of the red man
until the red man hasn’t a red cent.
In the language of the Psalmist:
Once hero the lone Indian took his delights.
Fished, fit and bled;
Npw most of tho inhabitants is whites
With nary red.
The decline of the Amorioan Indian, so
sudden as to prosago his oarly and final ex
tinction, was due to a combination of
causes which I will not stop to enumerate.
They are too well known. There was one,
however, to which I must allude, more
potent than all the rest. The white man
introduced it, at the same time that he in
troduced gunpowder, but it has proved a
more potent destroyer than the white
man’s bullet. This dreadful scourge, this
fearful destroyer of the Indians, whose vic
tims outnumbered those destroyed by pesti
lence and war combined, was—(here Mr.
Griswold would pau e in a perplexed way.
striving to recall the name, then he would
draw a piece of paper from his pocket, ad
just his eye-glasses and scan it carefully to
makesuie of no mistake) —whisky! That
was it. Whisky destroyed the luuians. I
put it down so that I w oula remember it.
Ana any man will remember it if he puts
enough of it down.
The Indians took the whisky with a
readiness that can hordiy be accounted for
when we consider how many years they
hsd been without it. In an incredibly
brief period of time after the discovery of
America by Columbus, every savage of
any pretensions whatsoever—bad whisky
on bis sideboard and in his wine cellar.
“Who,” said Logan, m that eloquent and
touching speech of his delivered before one
of the early Washingtonian societies, at
Washington, "who ever entered Logan's
cabiu hungry—and didn’t get a drink!”
The Indians were not given to poetry.
The most of tho poetry written by the In
dians has been found, upon careful exami
nation, to hove been composed by white
people. I have written some very beauti
ful Indian poetry myself. There was a
period in my life when I didn’t seem to
think anything of throwing off a poem—
and tho public didn’t seem to think any
thing of it, either.
Some years ago, vvhilo editing a paper in
tho far west, I received some verses written
by the widow of a celebrated Indian
killer, eulogizing hor deceased husband,
with a request to copy. The first verse, I
remember, ran lisa this—tha other versos
walked:
My husband he was galliant,
My husband lie was gay.
And when he took a warlike stand
The Injuns run’d away.
He laughed a laugh of scornful wrath
To see the cowards flee
With their high, their low, their—
Pum-a diddle, rip-a-tog a—
Raily-goggle' jum-bo-ree I
There were ninety-five verses in all, and
each verso had a like satisfactory termina
tion.
The Indian ladies were not of a literary
turn of mind. They didn’t oare to vote.
Not being literary, there were no blue
stockings among them. In fact, very few
stockings of any color whatsoever. They
were not passionately fond of dress. There
is no instance on record where a business
Injun—a thorough business Injun—has been
compelled to make an assignment on ac
count of his wife’s extravagance in dress.
The diversions of the Indians were of the
most inuoceut and cbeorful description.
They oousLted principally in running the
gauntlet and burning gentlemen at the
stake. I think, in the latter case, I should
prefer to have my steak done as rare as pos
sible.
Running the gauntlet is an ingenious com
bination of the gymnsstic, calisthenic and
acrobatic exercises, intensified by tho ox
citing phases of the chase, which run quite
through it. The Indians form two lines, be
tween which the cuiprit is to run, and
jocosely brandish sled states, cleavers, plow
handles, bedstead wrenches, cistern poles
and other stuffed clubs, the judicious exer
c so of which i-s calcuiated to pronounce the
highest muscular development, while their
application on the gentleman under treat
ment has the most exhilarating effect.
The Indians had many interesting tradi
tions; one in particular I rocall. There was
once an adventurom young Indian—a sort
of copper-colored Christopher Columbus
who, before the discovery of America,
wanted to get up an expedition to discover
Europe. He told the Indians that wav
acrosi that groat boly of salt water was an
old world, and assured them that if they
didn’t discover it pretty soon someone
would come over from there and discover
them. A::d if he had succeeded in his plan,
the whole current of emigration would have
turned from America to Europe. Indians
would have gone over there, planted colo
nies and driven out tho white men.
He claimed, this Indian did. that by
taking a Cunard steamer a: and sailing many
days—in those times ocean steamers only
sailed days; they tied up nights—he would
reach the old world, to the perpetual con
fusion of Columbus.
He asked, in case they did not open com
munication with Europe, how they couid
expect to have the luxuries of the east here
—such as the cholera—and the rinderpest?
He advised, among other things, that a
shipload of Indian missionaries accompany
the expedition for the purpose of introduc
ing the principles of Indian morality in
sections of the old world corrupted by east
ern civilization.
In the midst of this harangue news was
telegraphed to the Indians that Columbus
had come [laughter] and the red man’s ex
pedition to discover Europe came to an un
timely end.
A EWELL CHINESE WEDDING.
Festivities That WUI Last for More
Thin a Fortnight.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
Chinatown is enjoying the gorgeous
process of an official wedd.ng, the first that
ever took place in America. The ceremo
nial began yesterday, and will not be com
pleted until two weeks hence, by which time
tho knot will be so tightly tied that no
earthly power can undo it. The groom is
Owyaiig King, vice consul of the Chinese
government here for the last five year*, ani
previous to that time consul in New York
for three years. He is 31 years old, and,
with the exception of a year or two spent in
official service in Foo Cuow, has lived in
this country ever sirce he was a child.
He is a graduate of Yale College, class of
1881.
THE BRIDE.
The bride is pretty, demure and sweet
17. She was born in Grass Valley, Ne
vada county, and has lived there nearly all
her life. Her name is Lillie Tin Loy, and
she is the daughter of a rich merchant who
was sufficienriy Americanized to take her
traveling in Europe aad to give her a good
English education, in addition to tbe school
ing in her own tongue, which he took her
to China to get
In pursuance of tbe Chinese custom, tbe
bride was brought to San Franc soo five
day* ago end placed in solitary confinement
In the house of a friend, seeing no one but
those whoso visits to bring her fo~d were
absolutely neoessarv. Eirly m the fore
noon yesterday the groom began to
receive hit friends at h:s quarters iu
the consulate building. They came to
present their congratulations and to brnur
tbeir presents, which w. re many aid
costly. A steady shresm of visit rs passed
in and out until 3p. m., when a few of the
vice-consul’s friends took oim off 10 the
Chinese Delmouico’s for bis bachelor dinner.
But he was guest, not host, for the din or
was given him by the leading Chinese mer
chants of the city. It was an extravagant
affair, and lasted until 8 p. m., wheu a mes
senger came to inform him that certain
members of the Tiu Loy household were at
the consulate.
THE CEREMONY.
The bride had arrived for the ceremony,
the consulate wss a mass of Chinese ianter
inside and out, the rooms were filled witn
ricnly dressed Celestials, and everything
was ready for the ceremony to begin. A
bonfire of scented woods burns l iu frout of
the door. A woman stepped from the
bride’s carriage aud after her came tha
bride, completely wrapped up, head, face,
and figure in a huge red veil. She was
helped to mount the back of the first
woman, who carried her composedly through
tho bonfire, the symbol of purification, into
the house and upstairs to the bridal cham
ber, whore the bride was left alone. For no
Chinese bride, wedded in the faith of her
fathers, dares step her foot across her hus
band's threshold until she lias become bis
wife.
Immediately following th- m came a third
woman, who held a gorgeously colored um
brella over the bride. A fusillade of fire
crackers marked their passage through the
fire and continued until they had reached
the bridal chamber.
In a few moments the groom, attired in
the costume of a mandarin, a red sash
across his shoulder and jewelry in his cap,
came in with the representatives < f his fam
ily, through the back door. His friends
led him to the presence of the
bride, who was supported by four
married wotnon, the representatives
of her family. A few words were spoken
b v the supp irtitig parties on each side, and
the i the groom advanced and rand the
veil from the face and form of his I ride. It
was the first time that either bad looked
upon the other’s face. Then they were told
that the.r friends had decided that they
should become husbaud a id wife, a id asked
if they consented to the ar ungemeiit.
They replied that they did, aad theu p edged
their troth iu wine, served in
TWO SILVER TANKARDS
connectrd by a long red ribbon—a cere
mony of much the same import as a wed
ding ring.
Next came congratulations, repeated
many times, from tne frieods of both sides,
and then they were left alone.
The bride was dressed iu a dark blue
Chinese costume and wore no ornaments.
For the ceremony which took place to day
she donned a gorgdbus red satin r jbe, em
broidered in gold and silver, had her hair
dressed In the fashion of a married woman,
wore a coronet and jewels, and was ad
dressed as Ti Ti—your ladyship. Tbe day
was devoted to the ceremony of worshiping
their ancestors and to receiving the friends
of the groom. After three days the bride’s
friends will call and pay their respects, and
at the end of two weeks tho couple wiil go
through the ceremony of the marriage
service of the Episcopal church.
The reception room of the consulate is
gay with rich silk banners, embroidered
with greetings in silver and gold, sent by
the presidents of the six companies, and the
whole house overflows with tho wedding
presents. There are thirty pairs of brace
lets, fifty jeweled hairpins, pearl and jade
earrings, packages of gold coin, chairs,
lounges, lamps, silverware, trinkets and
kniosknacks innumerable, rolls upon rolls
of silk, quantities of dress patterns in the
richest kinds of silk, and from the Chinese
legation at Yokohama a beautiful brocaded
silk gown, worked with butterflies in many
colors.
T-.EY LOOK AFTEH YOUR GLOVES
A Custom That Is Not Followed by Ail
Glove Dealers.
From the New York Sun.
A number of young women wore at work
in the rear of a little store in Fourteenth
street, not far from Fifth aveuue, the other
day, when two pretty women entered. One,
who looked as if she were usually very ami
able, was quite cross just tnon, and scowled
ferociously us a clerk came forward to wan
upon her.
“Those gloves I bought here a short time
ago,” she said, indignantly, “are made of
the shoddiest kind of material. I don’t
understand how you came to sell such poor
articles. lam sure I had reason to expect
at least ordinary wearing qualities when I
paid you $3 for a pair of gloves. See, 1
buve only worn them half n dozen times,
aud the thumbs aud middle fingers iu both
gloves are full of little hole*. Iu another
day they won’t stimd putting on any
mure.”
She held up her bands to prove her state
ments, and, sure enough, the gloves were
worn us she had described. The clerk
listened calmly to her, and wheu sho Lad
finished he said:
“I am very sorry that you have had such
annoyance, but it is not always possible to
avoid such experiences. It frequently hap
pens that there are bad spots m the very
finest kid, and these are rarely discovered
until after the gloves aro worn. You see,
madam, kid leather ha 9 to go through a
very complicated treatment before it is
ready to be made into gloves, and It
sometimes is injured by the dyes
or washes to which it has to be subjected;
yet this is not discovered, as a rule, until it
is subjected to wear, as yours
has been. We have to maze allowances for
such occurrences, and we therefore always
make amends to our customers. If you will
leave the gloves with me I will have the
worn fingers removed and new ones of good
kid substituted.”
‘ 'Why, can you do that?” asked the now
molified young woman iu surprise,
“Certainly,” said the clerk; “we en
gage to keep every pair of gloves we
sell in repair for three months, without
charge.”
“But won’t the new fronts look different
from the rest of tho gloves!”
"O, no. We will give you anew pair if
you ai e not satisfied.”
The woman left the gloves q,nd went
away contented. There are several stores
in town where gloves are sold under a guar

They are experts, and can put patches in
any sort of a glove so neatly that they will
never be noticed. They save customers the
need of stitching the open seams or darning
the tiny hole* that will oome, and do the

greater than in the big bazars, where

Uhit it is a dangerous microte which conies
into thfo system, breads several millions every
second, and a on overruas the body with dis
ease. < Khers hare said that wo art* passing
through a region of star and ist, an I that the
minute particles aro drawn into the body with
every breath. Whatever it may be, it is certain
that it is something within tho body which is
fighting with the body to uudermitie tho life.
What would common sense dictate in such an
emergency? Count Tact the enemy. Drive it
from tho system. Do not trifle with it. Act
promptly aud wisely at the first approach
which you cau readily detect. Take something
which can counteract their deadly influence.
Spirits of some kind are the best thing to take,
and whiskey is preferable to any other kind of
spirit: but it should tie born* very carefully in
mind that only pure whiskey will hav** the
effect, and it should also he remembered that
Duffy's ihire Malt Whiskey stands at the head
of ad preparations and Is the only medicinal
whiskey upon the market. Scientists have as
sorted this, the doctors have verified it, and
milliona of people have proven It beyond a
doubt. There are many unscrupulous dealers
who will assure you that any whlskry will an
