THE APPEAL FOR AID HAS BEEN
WITHDRAWN. ’ -
The President Manages to Scrape up S3O
and Send It to the Sufferers—A
I. ifiicult Problem.
Samuel G. Storey, treasurer of the
Gentlemen’s Auxiliary Association of the
Confederate Home, has received a cheek
for S2O from president Cleveland, accom
panied by the following letter:
Executive Mansion, {
Washington, Oct 1, 1886. f
Samuel G. Storey, Treasurer :
31 y Dear Sir —A circular just received
informs me of the object and purpose of
the home for the mothers, widows and
daughters of Confederate soldiers at
Charleston, as'well as its present need,
caused by recent misfortune. Though
constantly appealed to from all sides,
and upon all manner of occasions, lor
pecuniary aid, I cheerfully enclose a
slight contribution to the sum necessary
to such repairs as will enable this useful
and benevolent institution to again open
its doors to the mothers, widows and
daughters for whom it was intended, and
whose condition presents such an urgent
appeal to the sympathy of every Ameri
can citizen. Yours sincerely,
Grover Cleveland.
THE PLEA FOR AID WITHDRAWN.
The City Council of Charleston, at its
special meeting recently, authorized the
mayor to withdraw tiie proclamation of
Sept. 17, which stated the wants of
Charleston for sufferers by the
earthquake at that time, and to express
to all contributors sincere thanks for the
the rid extended. The action of the
council is based upon the following care
fully worded and dignified report of the
committee on relief:
It has been and is now a difficult
task to measure the loss by the earth
quake calamity, as it was wholly new
and devastating in the destruction it
wrought. This difficulty was specially
felt by tills committee, who were named
to receive and distribute aid to the needy
sufferers of this disaster. To those
earthquake sufferers needing shelter,
food and immediate pecuniary aid, this
committee have offered relief, and, in
their judgment, there lias been sueli a re
sumption of the normal life of this city
as to justify discontinuance of this sys
tem of assistance at an early day.
A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
The most difficult and grave problem
has betn tp fix coneeily the number of
victims whose loss is their shattered
houses and who were actually unable to
repair or rebuild them, and to estimate
rightly the total amount of this loss in
money, so that the good givers of this
universal charity might know the limit
of our actual need in this our distress.
The committee, have, after e most careful
examination of the cases as far as re
ceived, arrived at the opinion that the
sum of money already received by this
committee, together with the estimated
amount of collections now made or in
progress of being made in the territory
of the Alleghanies, together with the es
timated amount now in process of collec
tion in Chicago and other points west of
the Alleghanies, of which we have been
advised, will, when received, place the
committee in a position to substantially
help needy sufferers for w'boso relief only
this committee was formed. The larger
and vaster loss falling upon the federal
government, state, county and city in the
damage to public buildings, the great
loss to churches, associations and corpo
rotions, and the widespread damage done
to resid.ences, stores, warehouses and
other property of private persons who
are able out of their private means to re
place and repair the losses, great as their
aggregated loss is to the public and indi
viduals, has not been within the scope of
this committee’s efforts, simply because
it was not a cause for charity to the needy
eaithquake sufferers. Asa grateful re
cipient of the generosity and sympathy
of those who have stretched out their
helping hand to us, this committee have
felt that they should be guided by facts
and estimates of the actual loss of needy
sufferers, and if, on an untrodden path,
they might err, they prefer limiting the
estimate ralherthan placing it too high.
SOCIETY.
Girls Training Like Pugilists or Pedestri
ans to Enable Them to Meet tlie
Hounds Demanded of Belles
by Relentless Society,
New York Morning Journal.
“We are most of us trai ling for the
winter campaign,” said a well known
belle the other day. “No ofte has any
idea of the strain upon one’s constitution
when so much dancing, late hours and
afternoon reeeptions-and teas make up
one’s life for live or six months,” she
continued. “Generally I rise about ten
o’clock and breakfast while my maid
brushes my hair. Then at I o’clock I’m
off to luncheon and only leave to attend
three or four receptions. Home again
at half past five to dress for a dinner par
ty, and then to the opera and frequently
a* ball after the opera. At 2or 3 in the
morning I am ready (o go to bed, and
this is the life I have led for the past two
seasons.
“What do I mean by training? Well,
you would call it training, I think, and
every society girl has to go through the
same regimen if she wants to keep her
complexion and health. Now, all the
girls I know are preparing for their first
ball. They go to bed early, say at 9 or
10 o’clock, and sleep until 7. Then they
are given a bowl of beef !ea before aris
ing and after they are dressed they must
take a walk, a ride or a drive in the open
air. Coarse oat meal forms their chief
dish for breakfast and after that meal
they can go to the dressmaker’s, shop
ping or calling, but umst-lunch atexaetly
the same hour every day, and wear a
veii to protect their complexions from
contact with the cold air.
“A low neck dress is worn for awhile
every evening,” continued the belle,
with a sigh, “to accustom the arms and
neck to it, because, you know, a person
wearing a decoliette bodice for the first
time in a ballroom is apt to catch her
death of cold, and then her arms gener
ally get so pink instead of white.
“Our greatest trials come after a din
ner of bouillon, bread and butter and
roast beef. Our maids spend two hours
or so polishing our arms and necks with
glycerine and rose water and another
hour brushing our hair.
“And when we rea-ly commence our
balls and parties all our enjoyment is ad
miration.
“It’s perfectly delightful, anyhow,
with all its drawbacks,” she said. “The
flowers, the music, the dancing, the
lovely dresses and the compliments are
perfectly delightful. But I never could
understand how th.e voung men keep up
so well. Why, do you know, after a ball
at three o’clock in the morning most of
them go off to the chib for an hour or
two and some of them don’t go to bed at
all.”

From tlie New York Herald, j
Hull, October 5, 1880.—The magis
trates at the police court to-day issued a
criminal summons against the editor of

for libel against a nonconformist preach

ed to contain the libels were these:

MR. BEECHER SERVED UP.
“Having disposed of England’s high

DREADFUL.
The Steamboat La Mascotte, Explodes
and Then Burns to the Water’s
Edge—Many Burned to
Death and
Injured.
The steamboat La 3lascotte, running
on the Mississippi river, between Cape
Girardeau and St. Louis, exploded her
boiler at noon on the sth inst., at Neelys
landing, a few miles below Grand Tower,
111. There being no telegraphic com
munication with Neely’s landing, nothing
was known of the disaster at St. Louis
or other points until the arrival the
next day of the tow boat Eagle at Cape
Girardeau with a number of dead and
wounded people Horn the delayed
steamer. After the explosion the steam
er burned. She was anew boat and was
valued at $50,000, and was the property
of Durland & Perkins, of Evansville,
Ind.
There are a few new particu’ars in re
gard to. the burning of the river steamer
La Mascotte. The coroner held an in
quest on the bodies of those who lost
their lives in the disaster. The captain
and pilot of the Eagle were before him
and testified that thev did all in their
power to rescue the passengers and crew
on the burning boat. The captain testi
fied that he could not run his boat near
the 3tascotte, for his own vessel would
surely have taken fire. Captain Ebough
denounces the crew of life Mascotte for
cowardice and selli-hness in looking to
their own safety and not attempting to
rescue the drowning and burning'pass
engers.
Captain Thompson, of the Mascotte,
says the Eagle could easily, and without
any danger to herself, have pushed the
burning boat ashore. The testimony bf
passengers who were rescued, coinei(k?s
with that of the officers of La Mascotte.
A later dispatch from St. Louis says the
Coroner’s jury returned a verdict exon
erating the officers ot the La 3lascotte
Irom all blame and severely criticised
Capt. Elbrough of the tow boat Eagle
for his treatment of the survivors and
for not attempting to run the burning
boat ashore, and recommended that his
license be revoked.
God’s Best and Bast Gift to Irian.
Our world would not have been a suc
cess without woman. She came at the
right time and fills the right place. With
all her faults, as a piece of humanity,
she could not well bB improved upon.
In all civilized countries and among all
honorable men, she passes current at her
face value. She is the fairest ot all, and
sometimes, though not often, the frailest
of all. She is at once the poet’s dream,
the warrior’s inspiration, the theme of
the statesman, and the charming actuality
of our home. No home should be with
out one. She outrivals the lily of the
valley in beauty. Tne carnation of her
cheeks defies-the most exquisite concep
tion of the artist. Though called the
weaker sex, she is stronger than man in
virtue, in the power of self-control. As
a sweetheart, there is none like her, an;',
while she may sometimes appear a gay
deceiver, yet when fairly tapped she is
there, and there to stay, unless death or
divorce intervenes. Asa wife, she fills
the bill exactly, if the man she enthralls
is of any account himself; if not, she
often makes things lively. In the well
ordered home she reigns in queenly
grace, brings order out of chaos and set
things to rights generally. Though a
being fearfully and wonderfully made up
and often a bundle of contradictions, the
very fertility of her resources, and the
diversity of her characteristics renders
her the more lovely and interesting. In
that matter of marriage, it is safe to say
that a good husband makes a good wife
oftetier than a good wife makes a good
husband. A3 a mother, woman shines
forth in all the beautitude of her charac
ter. Here, indeed, she is the power be
hind the throne, shaping the destiny of
the race for weal or woe. Here she i?
the ministering spirit of love and tender
ness, whose tireless vigils extend from
yie cradle to the grave. Alas! how tew
ever repay a mother’s love and devotion.
SENTENCED.
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY IN THE
CASE OF THE CHICAGO AN
ARCHISTS CONFIRMED.
They Meet .Their Senteuce Boldly and
Defiantly—Seven to Hang and One
to the Penitentiary for Fif
teen Years.
In the Criminal Court, in Chicago, on
October 7tb, Judge Gary overruled the
motion for anew trial in the cases of the
eight condemned anarchists, Spies, Par
sons, Fielden, Schwab, Engel, Fisher,
Lvng and Neebe, who have been con
victed, charged with the Hay market
massacre in Chicago, by the use of dy
namite. The verdict of the jury that
tried them was death for the first seven
named and fifteen years imprisonment in
the state penitentiary for Neebe. This
ruling confirms the verdict of the jury.
Senteuce was not passed on them until
late in the day. Defendants addressed
the Court, some of them uttering the
most violent language. Spies disclaimed
in emphatic terms that he had anything
to do with throwing the dynamite mis
siles. He claimed that the evidence
against him was insufiiciehf'to prove his
connection with the murderous work, or
his responsibility for it. He said:
“If there was no evidence to show
that I was responsible for it, then my ex
ecution and the execution of the verdict
is nothing but wilful, malicious and delib
erate murder. We were convic!eJ by *a
jury packed to convict us. I charge the
state’s attorney and Bonfield with
heinous conspiracy to commit murder.”
He made a long, rambling speech, and
concluded with a shriek, flourishing his
arms.
“I shall die proudly, defiantly, for the
cause ot justice. There Is Socrates—there
is Galileo —there is Giordno Bruno—
there is Christ. Why, the number can
not be estimated of those who have
trodden in these paths, and we are
ready to follow them.
Michael Schwab then began-:
“It is not much I have to say, and I
would say nothing at all did I not fear
silence would look like a cowardly ap
proval of what has been done here. I
am condemned to die for writing news
paper editorials.”
The anarchist then went on to justify
these articles hv going over in detail ail
the real or imaginary evils of the accu
mulations of .capital and the injustice of
the relations between the employer and
employed. He concluded by disavowing
all knoweldge of the men who threw the
bomb and protested he intended to do no
violence at Haymarket.
Oscar Neebe, the next speaker, had no
sooner taken the floor than he hurst into
a violent abuse, calling States Attorney
Grinnell a cur, and his assistants,
Messrs. Walker and Furthman, scoun
drels, saying there was only one gentle
man in the crowd and that was Mr. Ing
ham. The police were, assailed, and
in short Neebe’s speech was a tirade of
abuse, vilifying the police and the author
ities.
Adolph Fischer’s turn came next and
he was on the point of admitting his con
nection with the “revenge” circular,
when Solomon, mindful of the bearing
it might have belore the supreme court,
tried to check him. It was useless.
Fischer said:
“I protest against being sentenced to
death, because I have committed no
crime. I was tried in this jury room for
murder. I was convicted for anarchy.
I don’t deny that I was one of the parties
who summoned this meeting in Hay
market. but I know no more about .the
throwing of the bomb than 3lr. Grin
nell does.”
Here 3lr. Solomon rose, and going
over to Fischer whispered something in
his ear.
Fischer, turning round, said sharply
“Don’t interrupt me, I know what I
am talking about.’ 1
Solomon retired, and Fischer contin
ued :
Ido not deny that I got up the circu
lar, and had a line put in calling on
workingmen to come armed. I had my
reasons. lam prepared to die;for princi
ples on account of the holding of which I
feel lamto be sentenced to death. That
is all I have to say.
The supreme court has been appealed
to in these cases.
The Baugh on the Justice.
A Nyack telegram says: A joke was
perpetrated upon one of the ius'ices of
this county a day or two ago which has
just come to light. A young lady and
gentleman, as he supposed, appeared be
fore him to be married, giving their
names as William Miller, of Monsey,
and Minnie Burns, of Brooklyn. The
fact was that the supposed lady was a
young man, an acquaintance of the jus
tice, who was so completely disguised
that the dignified officer of the peace did
not recognize him, A number of wit
nesses were present, and the ceremony
proceeded with some solemnity. . The
groom took his supposed bride to the
residence of a neighbor with whom he
was acquainted, aud in the . evening a
large crowd, upon learning that there
was a bride and groom in the village,
gathered in front of the house for a sere
nade, and afforded music which would
have discounted the noise of an iron
foundry. The serenaders were well
treated, and after they had given three
cheers and a “tiger” for the newly
wedded couple they dispersed and went
home. The official who performed the
ceremony in ail good faith was kept in
the dark for a short time, but the joke
has now leaked out and a considerable
uumber of persons in the neighborhood
vow they will attend no more weddings
unless they know the bride.
