Dahlgren drew up certain plans showing

An Exceedingly Fuuuy Measure
Dublin, Dec. 21.—[Special.]—Some of
the humors of the land purchase act are
illustrated by a case which has come be
fore the commissioners.
A man named O'Kelly took from his
brother a heavily burdened property,
held under three leases. In an uxorious
moment he assigned them to Mrs. O’Kel-
ly, his lawful wife. His brother died,
and then Mr. O'Kelly found not only
that he was Mrs. O’Kelly’s lord and mas¬
ter, but her landlord. Mrs. O’Kelly saw
her chance of realizing a slice of John
Bull’s $25,(K)0,000, so, like a shrewd and
intelligent woman, husband she insisted the on buy of
ing out her at expense
the government. The proposal squeamish was too
rank for the by no means
stomachs of the commission, and it was
rejected. Commissioner McCarthy, whose mis¬
sion it is to protect the interests of the
British tax payer, cynically objects observing, of the
that it was not one of the
Ashbourne act to “root wine3 to the
Irish soil.” Here another judge came
in and Mrs. O’Kelly refused to pay her
husband liis rent. She went into fright¬ with
ful arrears, and lie has served her
an eviction notice.
Farcical as paralleled is the application by that of of the the
O’Kellys. Abercorn it is and his tenants.

Aurora, 111., Dec. 21.—The white
cap organization is apparently going-to
be a permanent feature of society.
William M. Harweather. who was ar.
rested yesterday for complicity in the :
outrage- of that savory clan, has given
to a reporter some secret* that will lend
to popularize the order in the breasts of
all mankind.
It appears that the white lapsiutve
opened a correspondence bureau in Au¬
rora, and the newspaper,-and coal deal¬
ers have, thus far, a monopoly of the
communications. Alderman Jungles re
ceived a letter which ordered him to stop
giving short weight on coal under pen -
alty of receiving a visit from the white
cap t of local branch 27. The letter was
adorned with red ink representations of
skulls and cross-bones, white caps and
snakes. Other coal dealers have received
similar communications. Coal is selling
for $0.75 a ton, an important drop, and the the
result of strong competition,
letters ullege that the difference in price
is more than made up by the shortage in
weight, the '.'black and snake” insists that will it must employed cease, or
be to
enforce the demand.
Editor Burlono of the Daily Express
has also been derogatory warned to stop publishing
Articles to the cause of the
Burlington strikes, and other scribes

penalty "You of sea," tar and said feathers. Mr. Harweather,
“America, or this part of it, anyway, is
too confounded free. I want to see every
man do as he likes, but sometimes his
likes carry him too far for the peace of
mind of his friends. 1 a:u sorry they
call us white caps, for we ain’t white

is to correct the abuses of modern so¬

New York, Dec. 21.—Arrangements
have already be: n lieguti for the presi¬
dent-elect's visit as a guest of Mr. and
Mrs. S. B. Elkins, at their home. No. 46
West Fifty-eighth street, about January
15th, to remain two weeks.
The arrangements have al! been made
since Rus*ell B. Harrison* visit to New
York was begun. The promise to make
the visit was given before the election.
Mr. Elkins met Russell B. Harrison at
Deer Park just after election on a busi¬
ness matter connected with the Montana
Cattle company. There ho reminded
Russell of the promise, and asked him to
bring it to his father's memory. When
Russell went back to Indian¬
apolis bis father set January 15th
as the date of the visit.
He will come here by the VanJalia and
Pennsylvania Central routes in a special
car, and be accompanied by Iiis daughter
and son-in-law, the McKees, a ; well as
Mrs. Harrison.
The party lias an invitati< n to visit
Mr. and Mrs, Morton at Khinebeck.
which will be accepted at the close of
the visit here. The arrangements have
all been made without any of the big
New Y'ork politicians knowing anything
about it.
Neitiu r Platt nor Miller is apprised of
the trip, whicVi will set the New York

There is no doubt that Gen. Harri on
will endeavor while here to harmonize
the wa ring factions. Elkins is for the

as against the Sherman-Miller combine.
It is evident that he intends to have
