THE APPEAL FOR AID HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN.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 THE PLEA FOR AID WITHDRAWN.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.” SATIRICAL CRITIC. How Au English Paper Serves up Some Preachers, Among them Henry Ward Beecher. 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 the Hull Critic, a weekly newspaper, for libel against a nonconformist preach er with the Diekenish name of Rev. Hopper Joplin. The paragraphs claim ed to contain the libels were these: a specimen brick. “There are three burlesquers of re ligion to whom I have a word to say— first of all, to that foxiest of foxes, old hook nose Booth: The one echo from his voice. Morn, noon and night. Where'er he may be, Is ‘Cadge! Cadgq! cadge! Ever o’thoe.’ '.chy MR. BEECHER SERVED UP. “Having disposed of England’s high est and most, cunning hypocrite, I now come to our yankee doodle friend, Hen ry Ward Beecher. I have heard 11. W. B. in his religious mart at Brooklyn. He preaches to ignorance, not to erudi tion. The result is that his pews and sermons are sold to the highest bidder. “To come down frorp comets to candle, I get to that old transgressor. Hopper Joplin, who has as much religion in his soul as a shark has love for the human species. “These three religious foxes carry their religion in their trousers pocket and catch all the pious and ignorant geese they can.” The article ended with a psalm, of which the two following verses were put in evidence: a poetical View of it. The devil went ontono day In search of an impious preacher, And he wasn’t very long on his way Before he collared old Beecher. Flushed with his grand success, Satan, the champion “copper,” Rushed along in his dusky dress, And collared old Booth and Hopper. "It was said that General Booth would have joined in the complaint but that he is in America. used to it. It was also hinted that 3lr. Beecher, who was shown the article published August 21, laughed heartily and said the paragraphs were as the mother’s milk which some American papers had tried to feed him with for twenty years past. . The examination was fixed for next Monday. 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.
