PEACE IN BERING SEA.
LOBD SALISBURY’S OFFER TO BS
ACCEPTED.
Blaine Resumes Offlc:al Duties &sd
Will Conduct All Further Negotia
tions on Behalf of the United States.
Certain Restrictions to be Demanded
Before Final Acceptance of England's
Offer.
Washisgtow, March 30. Secretary
Blaine has resumed the discharge of official
duties and will conduct all farther nego
tiations on behalf of this government Id tbe
Bering sea matter. Gen. J. W. Foster
will continue, however, to assist
in the conduct of these negotiations, as wall
as others affecting the commercial interests
of tbe United States. The two gentlemen
named had a conference with the President
this morning in regard to the details of the
reply to be made to Lord Salisbury’s note of
March 26, agreeing to a renewal of last
year’s modus vlvendi under certain condi
tions respecting indemnity. As has
been already stated, this government
has practically decided to accept these con
ditions with certain restrictions, and it Is
understood that the letter prepared by Sec
retary Blaine was accepted at a conference
this morning as defining the position of this
government on tbe subject. These views
will probably be oommunicated to Sir
Julian Pauncefote to-morrow, and, as they
call for no material change in the proposi
tion of Lord Salisbury, it is expected that
an agreement on that point will be reached
in a short time.
It is said that no further action will be
taken In regard to tbe arbitration treaty un
til tbe arrangements for tbe modus have
been oompleted. The British minister has
been officially Informed of the ratification
of the treaty and hae undoubtedly commu
pioated the fact to tbe home government.
In the meantime Gen. Foster and his as
sistants are busily engaged in the prelimi
narygpreparatious of the case of the United
States for submission to the arhitrstors.
The personnel of that tribunal will not be
announced for several week*.
It is settled, however, that Gen. Foster
■rill be the agent and Judge E. J. Phelps of
Vermont, the leading counsel in behalf of
tbe United Btates. There will be other
counsel, bnt tbev have not as yet been
■elected. Ex-Senator Spooner of Wiscon
sin will probably be Invited to act in that
capacity. It is stated on authority that
the two arbitrators on behalf of tbe United
Btales have not yet been chosen.
The report that Austria or some other
country had been substituted for Italy as
one of the neutral countries to nominate an
arbitrator it officially denied.

(Salisbury and Bearetary Blaine for a revi
val of the sealing modus viveudl.

A THIRD PARTY DEP3AT.
Their Candidate for Ordinary of
Lowndes Bnowed Under.
Valdosta, Ga., March 30.—The first
conflict between the Democratic party and
tbe third party in tbe state oocurred here
to-day in the eieotion of an ordinary to fill
tbe unexpired term of Judge Stephens,
deceased, and resulted in a Waterloo
for the third party. Their candidate, the
Stev. W. A. Pardee, was beaten by David
2d. Smith, the demooratio candidate, by 400
majority in the oounty. This virtually
■trangles the third party in the cradle and
proves that Lowndes oonnty’s demooraoy is
on a rock foundation and cannot be shaken
from her moorings. The democrats of the
county are organising themselves into a
club, and no man or measure not thorough
ly demooratio need apply for any offioe in

visitors and everybody it happy. The pro
gramme for Thursday and Friday unfolds a
treat. Capt, Hobbs announced to-day that
next year instead of the tent a building
would be ready for the audience. Albany
is enthused.
Prof. Sanford’s address on the “ Romance
of Arithmetic” was admirable. Prof. F. N.
Parker of Chicago, tbe greatest teacher of
pedagogics in Amerioa, pronounced It the
beet of the kind he ever beard.
No orator has more pleased the assembly
than Cnarles Wessolowsky. the Jewish
rabbi of this city. He is a business man,

Tbe teachers' institute is a prominent
feature. Capt. Brad well says next year he

The music is grand, worth a ride from
Savannah or Macon just to hear it.
To day was Educational day at the Chau
tauqua, and a grand day it was. All the

sors were replete with everything good per
taining to education. Especially good were
the addresses of Prof. A. H. Beal of Mil
ledgeville aud Col. Parker, delivered in the
tent tabernacle.
A PRACTICAL LBS SO ft.
When Prof. Z. I. Fitzpatrick, principal
of the Albany acadamy, took the roftrum
to deliver bis lecture on arithmetic, be said
that he was prepared to give the lecture,
but thought it best to make a departure.
So he called up two of his Duptls. Masters
John Mack and John Davis, and carried
them through a rigid examination and
through these bright bojs tbe vast audi
eooe and teachers were told all about arith
metic from Alpna to Omega.
The ooneert given to-night by Prof. Case
and the Chautauqua chorus was very fine,
and no one coaid catch an idea from a pen
description of tbe very beautiful music.
Gen. Longstreet arrived this afternoon
and was met at the depot by tbe Albany
Guards and a large delegation of citizens
and old veterans, who gave him a oordial
greeting. He is the guest of CoL John P.
Fort.
Prof. S. P. Sanford’s efforts in tbe teach
ers' institute, as well as his splendid lectures,
have been highly appreciated.
Prof. Fitzpatrick circulated among the
teachers of Southwest Georgia who are in
the city and tbe citizens to-day and col
lected enough to purchase a handsome gold
watch, which will be presented to Prof.
Sonford to-morrow morning.
To-morrow is National day and great

MISS eCHERMBRHORN’S PARROT.
An Account of How It Broke Up a
Painting Class.
Prom the Sow Fork Times.
“O, Fanny, bow’s the painting clans
getting on, and are you as much In love
with your teaoher as you were when I saw
you last*”
This question was put by one young
woman to another. The two had met for
the first time in several months, and as
they rode down-town in one of Mr. Gould’s
trams they were talking, as the phrase runs,
"about persons and things.” Suddenly
came the question about tbe painting class.
Fanny giggled a minute before answering
It, and her friend giggled with her through
sympathy and doubtless iu anticipation
that something funny was ooming.
"It’s all over, Edith,” Fanny said, at
last, “the class, tbe man worship—every
thing. Our teacher was Prof. C., aud the
olass was a very select one. W# had paint
ed a dog, a mouse, and a oat, ami at last we
had started in on a parrot. We had bad
four lessons with the parrot before the
smash-up came.
••* Too dull, too dull,’ Mr. Professor kept
saying tous. 'Nobody ever saw a parrot’s
feathers look like that. I want a brighter
green—something with life in it.’
“ Well, my cousin Helen, who is, as you
know, a pretty lively young woman, made
up her mind that she would play a little
joke on the professor. So she went to the
parrot's cage and helped herself to a quanti
ty of feathers and stuck them on to the can
vas. Then she sat down and waited for the
professor to oome. We were all there, the
whole ten of us, each one at her easel, ap
parently absorbed in her work.
“ ‘Good morning, young ladies,’ said Mr.
Professor, as he entered the room. ‘I trust
that some of you oan show me a beautiful,
bright parrot green to-day.’
‘ ‘We all laughed innocent girlish laughs
at this remark and went on with our paint
ing, noue of us saying anything in reply.
“ 'Glad to see you so industrious to-day,
young ladies,' Baid the professor.
“Then he started to look at our easels.
He passed slowly from one to another,
shaking bis head and frowning as be went
aloug. Suddenly he caught sight of Helen’s
work. A look of incredulity came into his
oyes. It probably seemed queer that she
alone out of all in the class should 'have
caught the parrot color perfeotly—Helen,
tbe worst dauber in tbe lot. But pleasure
chased incredulity away, and speaking un
der its impulse, the professor brokeout in ex
clamations .
“* Charmlu!?’ he cried. 'That’s the real
parrot color. A trifle to vivid, perhaps,
but really excellent. I congratulate you
Miss Schermerhorn, upon your success.'
“He moved up closer to get a better view.
Then he halted and stared first at Helen,
then at the picture, then at tbe parrot.
Then he turned on bis heel and left the room
without as much as sayiug ‘boo’ ”
“Hasn’t he ever come back, Fanny?” in
quired Editb.
“Not a bit of it. It’s alt over between
him and us.”
Then Fanny looked at Editb, and Edith
loosed at Fanny, and then the two giggled
again.
“What ridiculous things men are,” re
marked Edith when she had quieted down.
"Yes,” assented Fanny, “and artists more
than ail Abe rest.”

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1892.
DANCED WITH A BEAR.
It Waa Not tbe Court Minuet and
Did Not Embrace His Partner.
From th- St Louis Globe-Democrat.
I once spent two hours on a narrow,
rounded bowlder, dancing attendance upon
an enormous grizzly bear. The dance was
not to my liking, certainly not of my
choosing, and the only music was tbe basso
of his grizzlysbip. But as it was danoe or
a death hug, 1 choose the former, and
right merrily I tripped it. I was out in
the San Juan country about four months
ago, enjoying a season of recreation, My
time was spent mostly iu tbe
foot-hills, hunting mountain grouse
and smaller game. A fairly good
shot, and with enough ambition to stimu
late effort until my game-bag was full, I
had enjoyed to the bent a three weeks’ vaca
tion without killing any thing more danger
ous than a mountain lion, which, to my
thinking, is the hyena of American ani
mals.
It was rumored that griztly bear had been
marauding to the south of our camp, but
as we had spent nearly a month tramping
across the mountains without a sign of
bear, we paid no attention. We had made
no our tninds to go bock without a bear
skin, and, in fact, I, for one, had no especial
hankering for a bear bunt.
The morning of the day we wore to break
camp and return again to wore I started
for a last hunt among the grouse. Not ex
pecting to be absent long, I filled the mag
azine of my Winchester, leaving my heavy
ammunition belt to be packed,a way by the
colored understudy. The mountain mist
was still heavy in the valley, and I started
up the mountain side, intending to begin
my hunt well up aud work my way down
toward the camp. By the time I reached
the point I desired the sun bad cleared tbe
fog and I began work.
For some cause game was scarcer than
usual, and I was bewailing my bard luck
on the la3t day, when, with a whirr, a pair
of mountain grouse flew up from under my
feet. I fired at the nearest one, and it fell,
but with the roar of the gun came an
answering and louder roar, and from behind
a huge bowlder not thirty feet away came
tearing a huge silver tip. 1 must have dis
turbed him in his snooze, for he was unmis
takably raving mad. He paused a half
minute to locate me, and then, with an
ugly grunt that made my bunting cap fall
from my head, he charged me.
Of course, I ought to have shot him, and
doubtless I would have done so had it oc -
curred to me. But it didn’t. Tbe distance
between us was so short that by the time I
could turn to run 1 imagined I could feel bis
hot breath burning tbe edge off tbe tails of
my bunting jacket. It was cut and run, and
I did some expert dodging and twisting. In
the rush I dropped my gun. By a quick
dodge around a tree I gained sufficient
headway to scramble upon a large bowlder
which rose to Dearly the bight of my
shoulder.
The grizzly was right behind me, and a* I
felt scrambling on the top of the *tone a
wicked swipe from hi* claws tore to tatters
one leg of my trousers. Exhausted and bait
dead from fright, I managed to crawl far
enough from tbe edge to be out of reach of
those terrible claws. For about a minute I
heard nothing from Bruin. He was evi
dently trying to atoartain whether I had
come out on the other side. Presently Isa w
two huge paws feeling around over the edge
of the howlder, and then the ugly snout and
the peering evil eyes came into view. He
could, by standing areot. Just see over the
edge. His rage when he saw his prey so
nearly In his reach was frightful. He gave
a roar and dug great furrowsln the rough
surface of the stone with his diAws in his
efforts to get at me.
When I felt the great rook on which I lay
between despair aud death slowly oareeniug
under the weight of the ferocious devil, I
tried to pray. As the stone slanted further
I threw myself as far over the opposite
edge as I dared, when, to my great joy, my
weight tipped.the bowlder back agaiu. and
the grizzly, with a mad roar, slipped down
and charged around the stone to got at me
from the other side. But I was playing the
same game, and as fast as he would pull at
one side I would tilt updhe other. It was a
desperate game of seesaw, in which the
stake was a life. When thf infuriated
grizzly would give a particularly vicious
lunge I would grow white for fear my see
saw would lose its balance and be torn from
its base. But as we continued our game I
grew more confident. By standing erect I
c.uld at all times keep my unwelcoraepart
ner in sight, and as quickly as he would
throw a heavy paw over one corner I would
put my 140 pounds on the other, and the
baffled brute would have to content him
self with a great handful of stone and dirt.
No doubt it would have appeared amusing
to a disinterested observer, this game of see
saw on the mountain side between a terror
slrloken tenderfoot and a mad and disgusted
grizzly, but I could see only the serious side
of it. I know that I was comparatively safe
while I could keen his bearship overbal
ance!; but tbe oold sweat broke out wheu I
thought over the situation. Suppose the
boys should break camp and go away,
thinklog that I would rejoin them at n
point further down the stream on which we
were camped? Suppose that this huge devil
should sit down to deliberately wear me
out? Suppose—but just then a savage pass
of the brute’s; aw caught a tattered section
of my trousers leg, and once more began
our see-saw.
Finally, when I was nearly exhausted
and half crazy from fright, and when the
bear had relaxed somewhat his efforts, I
set up a shout, half in despair, half in
hope that it might be heard by my com
panions, who might|be up in the mount
ains.
My first shout was drowned in the roar
with which the grizzly greeted it, but as
I continued to shout he settled upon his
haunches and regarded me with a half
quizztoal look, as though wondering what
he would do with that wiudbag when he
got it.
1 continued to shout. Finally, to my
great delight, I was answered. I shouted
again. A reply came, and soon I saw my
two friends climbing up the side. The bear
was on the opposite side of the rock, and
I shouted tbe situation to my friends.
While they were creeping around to get
in position for a shot that would tell, I
peeped over far enough to excite tho bear,
and at onoe we resumed our see-saw. But
this time 1 stood erect, aud by waving my
arms and yelling I incited Bruin to tbe verge
of madness. Resting bis paws upon the
ledge he fairly howled in impotent rage.
When the guns cracked he half turned, and
theu slowly keeled over in a heap. Both
shots had struck him fairly in tbe left side,
and he was dead when he struck the ground.
1 danced a hornpipe on that rock, and then
I scrambled down and sat down on tbe
warm carcass of my late partner.
We carried the hide to camp. It now
ornaments my bedroom as a rug. aud as I
place my slippers in its soft fur after dinner
I r efleot that it is much better to win than
loee in a game where the stake is life or
death.

CONVICT SONGS SUNG IN SING SING.
Sad Verses Written by Unfortunates
Serving Sentence.
From the Sew York Recorder.
The unfortunates who, because of crime,
are locked behind prison bars are regarded
by their more fortunate brethren in much
the same light as tbe wild beasts exhibited
in a menagerie.
To watch them toiling sullenly, hopelessly
in tbe various shops connected with oar
state prisons gives no idea of their condi
tions or thoughts when locked alone In their
oells at night. Then tbe wretched criminal,
who is often a man of education, gives wav
to thoughts of other aud better days. Via.
ions of nome aud mother throng around his
lonely heart; he is filled with the poetry of
remorse and penitence, and to relieve his
feelings writes what is known as a “Conviot
Song.” These verses are adapted to seme
popular piece of musio and are sung by his
fellow convicts In chorus as they labor at
tbe beach or march to the one. two, three
lock-step of tbe chain-gang.
These a mgs, like that of the dying swan,
are never printed and seldom beard except
from behiud prison bar*.
Through the courtesy of James Con
naughton, the principal keeper of Sing
Sing priaOD, the following examples were
obtained.
The first was written by Alfred Sheridan
while serving a life sentence:
life, urs, LIFE.
In plodding through this weary world, bow
many are cast down
And either trampl-d under foot or passed by
with a frown!
Not thinking they have feelings and a heart just
like your own.
That once again might rise in life if sympathy
was shown.
How many men are languishing within a prison
cell,
Who, If they had another chance, would use the
blessing well:
Just think what must the feelings bo of those
men day by day
Who gaze upon the living tomb wherein they
have to stay.
CHORUS.
For life, life. life, no hopes of a to-moorrow,
In this Life, life, life of weary care and sorrow.
Let your mercy in the convict's lonely cell.
And may your souls wlih the angels ever dwell.
Forsaken by both God and man, the convict
seems to stand.
With none to give a cheering word nor lend a
helping hand.
He seems to be an outcast that no one cares to
own
The agony and misers he suffers are unknown.
How often thoughts of childhood's days will
come to him again,
Which cheer him while they last, but leave be
hind a stinging pain,
To think that all those happy times of life he'll
never see—
It makes him curse the fate that robs him of
bis liberty.
When njeroy pleads with justioe to spare the
awful rod.
Then mao becomes, as Shakespeare says, “more
like unto his God."
If all the hearts of men could be seen by the
naked eye,
Some now who freely use the rod for mercy
then would cry.
Remember all are mortal, and that none are
free from stain.
And none can say they're sure to see the rising
sun again.
Our earthly joys are only few, and life is hut a
span;
Then let us hope they make some law to help
out every man.
The following was composel by Jack
Conners, who served fifteen years for piracy
and was afterward drowned off tbe Twenty
third street dock in this city while trying to
escape from arrest by some officers who
were pursuing him.
SING SINO SOCIETY.
I’m stopping nt present, as most of you know,
Where the beautiful Hudson serenely does flow;
Its valleys and hills far aud near I can see.
Which, candidly npenning, has no charm forme.
I listlessly gaze on the beautiful scene.
But bars 'twixt my vision and it intervene;
I long, like the birds of the air, to take wing,
And fly far away from you, old Sing Sing.
CHORUS.
Bing Sing! That’s where the crooks go;
Sine Sing! Comforts take wing;
Tbey fly away while I do stay.
Paying the piper here in Sing Sing.
The reason I’m present with you here to-day,
I tried bard to live in a number one way;
But second-class wages and number one fare,
When hitched up together make but a bad pair;
And so I betnought me at once of a scheme.
To make the two work as an elegant team;
But in writing It up too much ink I did sling.
Which leaves me sojourning up In Sing Sing.
In this place we-ve all kinds and conditions of
men;
Good knights of the jimmy, the club and the
pen;
We’ve statesmen and con. men and artists
galore.
And cashiers who failed to reach Canada’s
shore.
We’ve bankers and brokers, boodlers in tribes.
And some of the slick reportoriai scribes;
Musicians and editors, too. In the ring.
All jumbled together up in Sing Sing.
WOMEN PROPOSE.
In Novels It Is Done With Tears, But
Not Always so in Real Life.
From the Keio York Evening Sun.
February of this leap year is gone, but
there are almost ten months left in which
for women to exercise their undoubted priv
ilege. Practically women propose to men
much more often than is believed, and
ourlously the recordedjinstauces, and they
are not few, show that ladies exeroise the
privilege without reference to leap year.
The ideal relation between man aud
woman is when Atalanta runs and Hippo
menes pursues. But Atalanta is so encum
bered w ith garments that she can no longer
run. Her change in costume illustrates the
network of restraining customs with which
civilization has eutangled her movements.
Tbe dear girl can now only linger about
and use the signals left bar, her coquetry
and her tears, and if now and then she
solves tbe situation more summarily it is
not surprising. This she does in ner own
way.
Lady Geraldine, in “Lady Geraldine’s
Courtship,” woos “Mister” Bertram with,
engaging frankness and chivalrous devo
tion, and moreover endows him with all
her worldly goods— not in phrase, but iu
fact. Elaine’s wooing of Launcelot, t!se
most determined advocate of Women’s
rights would agree, goes too far. Elaiue in
deed is as forward a young woman as is
produced in either literature or life. The
advantages of a delicate constitution are
seen in the immunity acoorded to her con
duct.
But it is not alone the poets who record
the proposals made by women to men.
Lady t astlewood virtually proposed to
Henry Esmond, falling on her knees in an
appropriate manner, with burning words,
but, alas, with tears. In * ‘Middlemarch,"
Dorothea proposed to Will Ladislaw, not
without encouragement, certainly. How
ever, W ill only spoke of love. “But we
can marry, sometime, ’' suggested Dorothea;
then She broke into tears. Evidently, when
woman do prop se to men, tbe mos. success
ful mauner is tbe most lachrymose. Thus
Jo proposes to her German doctor in
“Little Women," and in Miss Tnackeray’s
story, “Jack the Giant-Killer,” the curate’s
daughter ingulfs poor Jack in a lady-like
Hood of tears.
On the contrary, in Miss Wilkin’s latest
story Julizn, the heroine, a straightforward
girl, proposes frankly to the young man
with whom she was keeping company, as
they went home from singing school. He
hesitates and she thinks he is ooy. He still
hesitates and she asks him if be loves an
other. He oonfetses that ho does, then
Julisa helps him to win her. In “Castle
Richmond,” Trollope makes bis elderly
countess propose without crying and sbe u
reieet-d.
The proposal of tbe Queen of England to
Prince Albert, which she has recorded hor
se. I, is a notable In-lam * lu real life.

A STARTLING FACT !
That very few persons hare perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowledge
and skill to know what the eyes need And to tit
them properly with glasses. Those who trust
this work to unlnstructed dealers are criminally
careless of the most valuable of ail the senses,
their sight. In addition to graduating in Ger
many and my.thirty years practical experience,
I have taken a course and graduated in a
school of optics in New York and learned the
latest and best methods of ascertaining the differ
eut defects of the eyes and their proper correo
tlon, so that I can (it you properly with glasses
that will strengthen and improve your eyesight
instead of rapidly ruining ft. as poorly-fitted
glasses will always do. No charge tor ex
amination.
