With Side Openings.
In the triumphal arch and colonnade
which is to be erected at Madison
Square for the Dewey celebration,
New York City is to hare a work
which, in the opinion of the National
Sculpture Society, will surpass any
thing that baa before been realized
lor such a purpose in sculpture dec
oration.
In general plan the arch will re
semble the Arch of Titus. The Ro
man design is altered, however, to lit
It for location at tha intersection of
four streets by haviug the maiu piers
pierced on the east aud west axis of
the arch by smaller openings, as is
done in the Are de Triomphe in Paris.
This leaves really four piers to the
arch, for the decoration of which a
aeries of bus reliefs aud groups is sug
gested, depictiug the call to arms, the
battle, the return of the soldiers and
peaoe. At the sides of these groups
may be placed heroic ligures of great
American naval oliloers. Secretary

Anna of the Shamrock’* Owner.
Of course, it wouldn’t have been
the thing for Sir Thomas Lipton, tea
merchant, Cup challenger and recent
ly appointed Raronot, to come over
here on the Shamrock without a coat
of-arms. He might as well arrive
without a yachting cap. So he has had
a oo&t-of-arms made, and, honestly,
he deserves great credit for the dem
ocratic and unassuming way in which
he has complied the emblem.
For the crest he has designed two

flowers of the tea plant the other that,

cess in the world. Fidelity to his
native country induces him to place
upon the shield the Shamrock of Ire
land, as well us the Thistle of Scot
land, the country in which he made
his lirst money. At the bottom of the
shield is the born of plenty, aud his
motto, “Labor Conquers All Things.”
It is truly a fitting autobiography in
pictures.
The Dent School.
The best and cheapest school of
journalism is the country newspaper
office. No oue can become a banker
or a broker or a merchant by attend
ing a commercial college. No more
can a college course in journalism fit
you for newspaper work. Theory is
one thing; practice is another. If
you aspire to enter the higher ranks,
work on a country weekly as a starter.
There is the best possible training for
a young man who desires to become
an accurate writer and a reporter of
events. In the city one rarely if ever
meets the people he writes about, and
there are no consequences to be feared
on that score. But in the country
there is a personal accounting in sjora
for the scribe who garbles or errs in
statement of facts. This knowledge
drills the habit of accuracy into ouc
as nothing else will.
The annual increase of population
in the United States is about 1,000,000.
NOVEL RIVAL TO
THE LIQUOR SHOPS.
Practical help to the poor, the ig
norant, aud the sinning, this is the
watchword of the day. The latest
evidence of its working in the East
Side of New York is the establishment
of a tea-saloon at 76 Allen street. The
Church Army is sponsor for the new
undertaking, which is managed by
Colonel H. H. Hadley, an enthusias
tic worker in humanitarian affairs.
Colonel Hadley has many sympa
thizers in bis belief that hundreds ol
people drink beer because it is the
drink most easily obtainable, and that
if other liquids were as cheap aud .s
easy to get, the consumption of intox
icating drinks would be greatly re
duced. This is the experiment being
tried at. The Open Door, which is the
name of the new temperance venture.
The house taken for the mission was
one of the worst homes of vice in the
crowded neighborhood. It was used
to conceal so many kinds of law-break
ing that its frequenters bud to be pro
tected from visits of the police by a
system of private alarms. In addition
to this they bad secret means of
egress, so that escape was possible in
case of a raid. Colonel Hadley secured
a three years’ lease of this disrepu
table building, cleared it of its old
tenants, freshly painted the dingy in
terior, aud wrought a material as well
as a moral transformation. The first
floor of the building was altered from
a bar of the lowest order, where clime
and hatred were nursed, into the hu
manitarian substitute, the tea-saloon.
The effect ,of a bar is still retained,bul
over the sinning counter no more del
eterious drink than well-made tea
ever passes. The equipments which
rest on the counter as accessories
to the drinks are bowls of sugar,
pitchers of cream, and saucers of sliced
lemon. Tea is served either hot or
cold, to suit the desire of the patron,
and it is also supplemented with a
sandwich or a piece of pie of cake.
The prices charged for these enjoy
ments range' from one cent for plain
tea to live cents for tea with solids,
aud the price is the same whether the
beverage is hot or iced. As it is the
custom in the neighborhood where the
tea-saloon is established for famijj.'i's
to use the “growler” fo-T bringing
drink saloon to the home,
Colonel Hadley has tea on draught to
sell by the quart for outside consump
tion. He has even planned an im
proved can for carrying it, with a central
compartment for tea and an outside
one for ice, with faucets arranged for
drawing off either tea or ice water.
In the back of the tea-saloon is ar
ranged an assembly-ioom, where it is
the custom to hold mission meetings
every evening, consisting largely of
attractive music, and into these meet
ings the patrons wander in increasing
numbers. Upstairs the house is divi
ded into twelve rooms, all of which
are furnished, and are rented to de
sirable applicants at one dollar a week.
The tea-saloon is open from 6 a. m.
to midnight; its patrons are increas
ing daily; and it is expected that it
will be a formidable rival to the liquor
saloon, and will prove the strongest
weapon against alooholism -phi
lanthropy has ever wielded in defence
of the weak and ignorant.—Harper’s

WNot Alive at the Time.
While passing Whitehall the other
day a strauger to London asked a
policeman if he could point out the
window through which King Charles
passed out to execution. The police
man asked: “Who was he?" “King
of England, of course,” was the an
swer. “But when was that?” “Over
two hundred years ago.” “Ah, ah!
that was long before my time, sir. I
only entered the force in 1562,” was
the policeman's reply, “Sorry I can't
tell you.”

Is Experiencing
Trouble,
A special from Havana says: In
view of the fact that Colonel Bacallao,
chief of the secret police, persisted in
his declaration that General Juan
Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant to the
: presidency of Santo Domingo, was in
Havana, either not having left, or
i having returned, the military authori
i ties telegraphed to Cienfuegos in
structing Capt. Stamper, collector of
customs, to ascertain whether Jimi
nez was on the Menedez steamer and
' to take him under arrest if that should
be the case.
Just as the steamer was about leav
ing Cienfuegos, Captain Stamper lo
cated Jiminez and arrested him. Jim
inez denounced the arrest as an out
rage. He said that he had broken no
I law and would not yield except to
force. Captain Stamper replied that
he was ready to use force if necessary
and Jiminez then yielded, ‘remarking
that he did so only because he could
not help himself.
Senor Frias, mayor of Cienfuegos,
refused to make the arrest, claiming
that General Jiminez was an old per
sonal friend whom he had known in
timately for years. When Jeminez
was taken into custody, Senor Frias
was found with a police inspector, in
close conversation with Jiminez and
j the latter’s secretary. It is believed
the mayor was urging him to leave the
steamer, to conceal himself and wait
for a better opportunity. Captain
Stamper informed Jiminez that he
would make him as comfortable as
possible, and after Jiminez and his
secretary had packed their trunks
they were accompanied by the chief
of police and Captain Stamper to the
Union hotel, where two bedrooms and
a dining room were placed at their dis
posal.
General Jiminez will be kept under
police charge until further advices are
received from the governor general.
There is much excitement among the
people of Ceiufuegos over the affair.
The sentiment is generally expressed
that the authorities had no right to ar
rest Jiminez, an unarmed citizen, go
ing apparently to Santiago de Cuba,
and the point is even made that, even
if he were going to San Domingo, he
would only be returning to his native
j country.
FAVORABLE TO DREYFUS. *
Colonel Pioqiiart’n Evidence Showed That
Prisoner Wan Innocent.
Advices from Rennes state that
when the Dreyfus courtmartial was re
sumed Friday morning Colonel Pic
qnart, former chief of tlio intelligence
department of the war office, was
called, continuing his deposition, which
1 was interrupted by the adjournment
| of Thursday.
Colonel Picquart discussed the secret
dossier as being the mainspring of the
condemnation of Dreyfus. His evi
| deuce tends to show the prisoner’s in
nocence. He took up the documents
successively, referring to the writers
and addressees of the letters as “A”
and “B.” Among those present in
court were Generals Zurlinden and
Billot, former ministers of war.
Maitre Mornard, who argued the
case in behalf of the Dreyfus family
for the revision of the prisoner’s sen
tence, before the court of cassation,
was present to assist M. Demange, of

The place was without military pro

and resisted the attack for ten hours,
when the Indians withdrew.
Several houses were burned by the
Indians, and five men and one woman
were killed. It is thought that a
number of Indians were killed and
wounded.

LOOT Ilitlß COMETS
Desperate^^^BPut>fr° rn Battles With the Bonce
PPprequent Occurrence.
Sunday Paris waSthe scene of most
serious disturbances, recalling some
aspects of the commune. In response
to an appeal of The Journal du Peuple
and La Petit Republique, groups of
anarchists and socialists gathered
about 3 o’clock in the afternoon in the
Place de la Republique. The police
had taken precautions and there seem
ed no danger of disorders.
Sebastion Faure and Faberot, well
known revolutionary anarchists, were
the ringleaders. Faure, standing on
the pedestal of the statue which rises
in the center of the Place de la Repub
lique, addressed the crowd. Among
other things he said that the anarchists
should be masters of the streets.
The police interfered and disloged
Faure and Faberot, making three ar
rests. The crowd at this point dis
persed, but a column of demonstrators
headed by Faure and Henri d’Horr
made for the Place de la Nation. The
police broke through the column and
a struggle for the mastery followed.
Shots were fired and H. Goullier, com
missary of eolice was twice stabbed
with a knife. This threw the police
into momentary confusion. The mob
reassembled and ran towards the Place
de la Nation.
The police, re-enforced by a squad
that had been held in reserve, made
another attempt to stem the current,
and fresh, fierce fighting occurred,three
constables being wounded.
Faure and d’Horr jumped into a
passing street car that was going to the
Place de la Republique, aud the car
driver, on arriving there, gave a sig
nal to the police, who immediately ar
rested them both, together with two
other anarchists, Joseph Ferrier and
Jean Perrin. All were conveyed to
the Chateau d’Eau barracks. Only
d’Horr was found in possession of fire
arms.
Houses of Worship Demolished.
In the meantime the anarchist mob
retracted its course to the Place de la
Republique, smashing the windows of
religious edifices on the way.
Suddenly, either at the word of
command or in obedience to impulse,
the column made a loop and curved
toward the church of St. Ambroise,
where the rioters smashed the win-
dows.
Proceeding thence toward the Fau
bourg du Temple, which they reached
at the coiner of the Rue Darboy and
the Rue St. Maur-Popincourt, they
formed up into a compact body.
Hatchets were suddenly produced,
with loqg knives stolen from the coun
ters of shops, and a concerted rush
was made on the church of St. Joseph.
The aged sacristan, seeing the mob,
hastily closed the outer gates, but
these were soon forced open with
hatchets and bars of iron. The mas
sive oaken doors were then attacked.
According to the first account the
wild horde burst into the church,
which instantly became a scene of
pillage and sac.T.'Ag.'ie. Altars and sta

Advices from Manila state that one i
lieutenant of the Twelfth infantry was
killed and another seriously wounded
while reconnoitering Saturday evening
north of Angeles.
The Americans encountered a large
force of insurgents and drove them
from their positions. Lieutenant Cole,
of the Sixth infantry, with eighty men
encountered 100 insurgents intrenched
in the mountains of the island of Ne
gros aud routed them after an hour
and a half of severe fighting.
The Americans had three men slight
ly hurt. Nineteen dead insurgents
were counted in the trenches.
DEWEY FAVORS AUTONOMY?
Correspondent of a London Paper, At Na-
Interviews the Admiral.
The Naples correspondent of The
London Daily News telegraphs the
substance of an interview he had with
Admiral Dewey there during the ad
miral’s recent visit.
The admiral said in his judgment
the Filipinos were capable of self-gov
ernment and the way to settle the in
surrection and to insure prosperity
was to concede it to them. He de
clared that he never was in favor of
violence toward the Filipinos and re
marked that after autonomy had been
conceded, annexation might be talk
ed of.
HARRISON HAS FEVER.
Inspector General Is Critically 111 In Cuba
From Dread Disease.
A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba
says that Major Russell B. Harrison,
inspector general, is critically ill with
yellow fever. The disease had been
progressing for three days, although
not pronounced yellow fever until
Sunday afternoon. The ease is the
first to occur at Cristo. *
sticks, ornaments and posts from high
altars were thrown down and trampled
under foot.
The crucifix above was made the
target for missiles and the figure of
the Savior was fractured in several
places.
Then, while raucous voices sang the
“Carmagnole,’’the chairs were carried
outside, piled up and set on fire in
the center of the square fronting the
church. When this stage was reached
the crucifix was pulled down aud
thrown into the flames. Suddenly the
cry was raised that, the statue of the
Virgin had been forgotten, aud the
crowd returned and tore this down
also.
Meanwhile the sacristan, who had
been captured by the anarchists, es
caped and called the police and repub
lican guards, who promptly arrived
with many constables. They were
compelled to fall back in order to form
up into line of defense, as the anar
chists attacked them fearlessly with
knives.
At length the officers began to train
the mastery. A score of anarchists
took refuge in an adjacent house.
Others intrenched themselves in the
belfry aud fiercely defended themselves
by showering missels on the republi
can guards, bnt finally they were dis
lodged. Twenty anarchists were ar
rested, taken to the police station,
searched and found to be carrying re
volvers, loaded sticks and knives.
When the police entered the church
the anarchists had just set fire to the
pulpit. The interior Of the edifice was
a complete wreck. Several valuable
old pictures that can never be replaced
were ruined.
There is no change in the situation
at the building in the Rue de Chabrol,
M. Jules Guerin and his anti-Semite
companions are entrenched in a state
of seige against the police who have
orders for their arrest.
An attempt was made to fire the
choir of St. Joseph’s with petroleum,
and the firemen were called to quench
the flames.
Several parishioners were severely
mauled in their efforts to defend the
church from sacrilege. The church is
situated in the poorest quarter of the
city. No disorders of any kind oc
curred in the fashionable districts.
It is much feared that Sunday’s
scenes were due to weakness the gov
ernment displayed over the Guerin af
fair. The government’s desire to avoid
bloodshed has been misinterpreted
with the worst result.
It appears that the anarchist de
monstration was decided upon at a
meeting held Saturday night.
The Journal du Peuple, edited by
Sebastian Faure, published a mani
festo denouncing the military party,
the anti-Semites, the monarchists aud
the priests, and urged its supporters
to meet force with force.
“Should Dreyfus be convicted,” said
the manifesto, “it will be triumph of
the bandits. Should he be acquitted,
the military section will be in open re
bellion.”
WORK OF THE MORMONS.
President Rich Issues a Statement Show
ing Progress In the South.
The report of President Rich of the
Mormon society issued last Saturday,
shows that 490 elders are laboring in
southern fields, and that during the
week these walked 9,260 miles; visited
3,500 families, and held 950 meetings.
The report says in the Georgia con
ference 67 elders are at work, and
during the week they walked 909 miles
and visited 169 families. They were
refused entertainment 37 times.
Three New Cases of Bubonic.
Advices from Madrid state that three
cases of the bubonic plague are re

to be of a mild character.
WILL ROOT RESIGN?
Story Is Afloat That New Secretary of War
Is Already Tired of His Job.
An interesting story is going the
rounds in Washington that Secretary
Root will resign his portfolio. In a
word it is rumored that the secretary
is already sick of his job and that he
will be forced to abandon his post in
humiliation if he does not proteat
himself by an early resignation.
In view of the fact that the new
secretary of war has had charge of the
department but a few weeks, this is
certainly a remarkable story to find a
start anywhere. But it is going around
and comes from apparently good au
thority.
MERCIER TO BE ARRESTED

It is rumored that Orders will he given
to withdraw the case against Dreyfus,
it having been proved that the docu
