TRIBUTE TO THE PRESS.
What It Has Done for the Sooth
Editor Walsh's Response.
In speaking of the Merchants and Manu¬
facturers banquet the Baltimore American
says:
Mr. Bland, in proposing the toast t0
“The Press,” said: “Gentleman, you will
remember that our last anniversary was
honored by the attendance of two distin*
guished members of the public press—Mr.
George . Childs and Colonel A. K. Me
Clure. It was the intention on this occa¬
sion to go more abroad and to bring to¬
gether, from every section of the country,
our friends—the Knights of the Quill.
But circumstances have conspired to pre
vent attendance tonight of the somewhat
large numbers expected, and. of those
whom we are privileged to welcome, all,
as it so happens, are from the Southern
States. To these, and to those they re
present, we are bound by the closest ties
of kinship; to them and to their people
Baltimore owes much of Its prosperity and
commercial advancement Before the dark
clouds of 2805 were entirely dispersed,
when all save honor and courage seemed
lost, when many embarrassments and dis
couraglng barriers beset them on every
hand, the gentlemen of the press, lmme
diately substituted the pen for the sword,
compelled ofttlmes to perform single hand
ed the combined functions of reporter.
compositor, pressman, editor and publish
er, preached a new gospel, strenously ad
vocating a return to the peacefu: avoca
tlons of life and helped to mould and form
out of the old order a new generation, vlg
orons and se.f-reHant. Their tnfiuence
was strong, calm, luseful and beneficial; It
cheered, strengthened, encouraged and en¬
nobled tlielr people. It was through this
powerful instrument—the press—-which en
ablecl the peopie of the South, with ma
terial acsistance from the North, to great
ly extend, enlarge and diversify their m
dnstrta! enterprises and set In motion the
development of vast resources of the forest
and the mines, the magnificent possibilities
of which are only Just beginning to be re¬
cognized.”
The toast was then drunk standing, after
which Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta.
Ga., arose to respond. He was rt-eelved
with every manifestation of warmth and
made a splendid address.
He said. In being ended to respond to the
toast to the press, that It was a most dls
tlngulshed honor. Were he asked to speak
of the most important facts of Am rican h;s
tory, lie would speak of the bill passed
by the Maryland Colony In favor of reli¬
gious liberty; If asked to name the most
illustrious signers of the great Declaration
of Independence he would name Charles
Carroll of Carrollton.
He sopke of the sympathy and generous
aid extended to the South at all tiroes by
the citizens of Baltimore, and then of the
press of Baltimore said it was a model one
which performed its highest duty—that of
advancing the commercial interests of the
cognized ibroughout the land. To the
press, he said, was di e much of the com
inerelal prosperity of the country; It wne
above party and section, remembering al
ways mid first, that we are Americans.
(Applause.; snlfi it
Speaking of tbe South, he waa no
laggard, since, while at the close of the
war it bad lost two billions of dollars, In
1893 its agricultural prosperity was as
great as in 1860. He then ©poke of the
great change made by the South in the
manufacturing of cotton goods, from
234.000 bales In 1S80 to 714.000 in 1893. and
of the fact that, whereas there were re
eently tour milHon Idle spindles In New
Englarut, not one was idle in Georgia, and
that the predictions of riongreesuian Kelly,
the Father of the House, had been ful¬
filled. And of tbe iron trade, he spoke of
the fact that, while lu i860 the entire pro
duffttau of the eomrti-y was three -million
tons and fifteen million tons of coal, In
1890 the South produced eighteen million
tons of coal and three million tons of iron.
And in twenty-seven years, said be- "d.v
think of it, the cotton crop alone has add¬
ed to the aggregate wealth of the world
nine billions of dollars. It Is tbe field of
promise. "I rejoice in the heritage that
comes to us from the Pilgrim Fathers,
those who settled Virginia and Maryland.
All have added much to the best country
nnd best government vouchsafed to man.
I feel, however we differ politically in
measures and policies Inaugurated and
adopted by any party, that the sovereign¬
ty of the people will preserve that country
and that government for ages to come, to
bless mankind with its bereflecnep.’'
THE POI'E SPEAKS.
A Sermon In St. Peter’* on the Trou
ble* in Italy.
Rome, Jan. 28.—The Pope delivered
iu St. Peter's today au address sug
tact and frankness when he referred
to current affaire and hls words im
pressed deeply the minds of all present.
His Holiiness spoke sulnstantiaily as fol
lows:
"The present occasion gives us
proof of the revolution of the Roman
people to whom we wish all blessings.
It is easy to understand our bitterness
when we think of the trying cpnditions
in Rome which are aggravated by Let
general state of the peninsular. distress us
hope, however, that the present
wiil be repaired and otrder can
be restored in those districts
which are now troubled. We
cannot on this occasion omit to ro
call the past when the presence of the
Popes gave Rome not merely for years,
but for centuries, glorious tranquil pros
SJo, ^TSSSS
tions of man. It was rational and sure,
Life was then calm and well ordered,
Nothing was wanting for the well being
of the Pope. The opposition is true of
the present. If we would profit by bitter
experience, let us trace the evils to
their origin ami seek an effectual rente
dj. The religious ruin, invoked and
designed has brougha moral and mater¬
ial ruin. Not only justice, but also
political expediency, must demand the
return of the nation to regain of Its
faith with mutual confidence and affec
tion, and without suspicion of the Pope
whose preaching of the life eternal ren¬
ders even mortal life happy and pros¬
perous.” seemed be excellent

CARLISLE VISITS XEW YORK.
To Disentangle Some Cnstom Compli¬
cations .
Jan. 2S.—Tiro reasons
Secretary Carlisle to go to New
York last night. One was to straighten
otit the hitch that has occurred between
the Collector of Customs at New York
and the importers regarding the accep¬
tance of checks in payment of certa-n
dues, and the other was to ascertain the
prospects of bids for the new bonds
issue. Both those subjects are some¬
what allied. Under the old system in
vogue in New York. checkB are received
by the collector in payment of oertain
dues. A cout decision recently rendered
made the collector responsible for all
checks, whether the banks cashed them
or no t. This responsibility Collector KM
breath, after losing several hundred dol¬
lars, declined to assusme. The Importers
then, as a matter of relation, ceased to
pay their customs dues in gold checks,
but deposited therefor silver certificates.
Whale before this order was issued to
refuse checks gold payments averaged
the 6"* twenty-five days 26 per cent.;
they ran down the flay the order was put
into effect to less thau one-half of the
per cent. In a few days the lo»s® in gold
for customs receipts aggregated n*>re
than $2,000,000. In the present drain
on gold for ordinary expenses of the
Treasury this state of affairs was

New York last night.
Afraid of the Ronds,
The action of tihe House Committee
on Judiciary in reporting the Bailey
resolution favorably to the House had
tihe effect of deterring apy large bids
so far from being received for the new
bonds. The notion, too, of the Knights
of Labor in seeking an injunction against
Secretary Carlisle to prevent him from
issuing blonds lins Quad a disqilieting
effect.
Treasury officials have no doubt as
to the power of the Secretory to use for
the gpld derived from these bonds
any legitimate Government expense and
Secretary Carlisle will, while in New
York, assure all prospective bidders that
they need have no fears on any score
about bidding for the bonds and tliaT
they will be amply protected,
DEPORTING THE SPANIARDS

Secretary Carlisle and the men de

have such a bearing on the prompt ac¬

The Two Wealthiest Heiresses.
The two wealthiest heiresses in Ameri
e« are the Rockfeller sisters. Alta and
Edith, the nninarried daughters of the
Standard Oil king. These young women,
should their father die tomorrow, would
each have an inheritance of $35,000,000.
John P. Roekfeller's fortune is estimated
at $140,000 000, and it is increasing at
the rate of $15,000,000 every year. twenty-four
Alta Rockfeller is not quite
years old, and her sister Edith is two
vears younger. The share of each under
her father's will will be more than double
the magnificent fortune held by Miss
Helen Could- Miss Gould’s wealth is es¬
timated at $15,000,000.
The wealthy Rockfeller girls have lived
the quietest of lives. They do not belong
to the Four Hundred, perhaps for the
reason that none of the family has ever
eared to attempt an entrance within tire
charmed circle of New York's fashion
ables. They are not recognized in the
daily throng of notables on Fifth avenue,
The swell milliners and modistes do not
know them, because they wear only the
plainest gowns, which are generally fash
ioued by a seamstress who does her work
in their house. Worth or Felix has never
had an order for a gorgeous party drees
from any of the women of the Kockefe -
ler family, because th^y do not attend
1 tails or swell functions of any kind. It
is doubtful whether any of the daugb
ters ever learned to dance
Alta and Edith are accomplished mu
sicians ami linguists. Edith is an om
nivisrous reader, and both are well ae
quainted with modern literature and tiu
standard English authors. Alta has paid
especial attention to her French studies,
and Edith prefers German. The younger
sister has studied the Japanese language,
too, and at one time was ambitious to go
to that country as a Baptist missionary.
There are four pianos 111 the Ki>ekt>
fourth ’•tree^and 1 a^large organ. A her
dinner the family sit together in one of
the large reception rooms and play clas*
si cal music. John D. Rockefeller is the
ftrst violin of this millionaire orchestra,
llis daughter Bessie, when &he is at
home, plays the second violin, Edith the
cello and Alta the piano. Miss Alta spent
some time at Mrs. Life’s Seminary, at
Rye, N. Y„ and Edith is now taking u
special course at Ognotz Seminary, near
Philadelphia, says the St. Louis Post

Misa Alta Rockfeller is . about
inches tall, with a plump figure, hands
and feet that are not too small, and pleas
ant features- She has light hair of rather
an uncertain tint, inclined to be golden,
and at the same time suggesting auburn,
Edith is a little taller than her sister, and
though younger in years, looks and acts
n bit more matronly.
The amusement ef the Rockefeller *>*- .

fast horses, swimming and skating. Beth
tlie girls are good horsewomen, sit a capi
tal seat in the park and handle the whip
over a pair of ponies on pleasont days.
They were taught to swim when they
were scarcely old enough to talk. At their
father’s magnificent summer homo at
Forest Hill, four miles from Cleveland, is
a large artificial lake, nnd nil the members
of the family spend nn hour or two in the
wnter here every day in summer- When
Alta and Edith had learned to swim and
float and dive m their -bathing costumes,
as little children they were taken to the
water completely dressed, even to shoes
and hots, nnd taught not only to keep
alloat, but to make good aquatic prog
ress with these impediments. How many
girls are there who could swim ashore

Their Own Notion.
Shelton Was One of the Most
Prominent Pulpit Orators
in the City.
Little Rack, Ark., Jan. 20.-T. J.
Shelton, of this city, has introduced a
new feature in proaohltqf. It is the art
of miking the organist do the praying
and the principal part of the preaching.
Shelton was for many yearn recognized
as one of the ablest pulpit orators in the
state and waa for year* pastor of the
Finst Christian Church of this city. He
has for some time past been preaching to
tin independent cougregat ign and Inst
night created a sensation in his church.
Hls text was: “Tho Law of Vibration,
or liow Jesus Healed tho Sick."
After reading a part of tho Gospel of
St. John he. caused a ripple of astonish¬
ment by nuuouueiug that the organist
would pray, while each member of the
congregation would pray iu his own way.
He illustrated the law of vibration ns a
universal principal controlling all human
movements in the struggle of America
for independence. Our fathers had to
contend against Great Britain (Che or¬
ganist played "God Save the Queen.”)
H is such vibratiouiis as these our fathers
hud to meet, said the preacher, but now
listen to—
“Yankee Hoodie” was played by the
organist and the speaker UUistraited "the
late uuploiisanit ness” by calling to*
“Hixle." As tho organ notes o£»tht« air
vibrated through the luill, everybody was
delighted. Here die preacher made
a telling stroke by throwing in a dis¬
cord by saying, "The South was defeated
because ‘Yankee Hoodie' was on the
other side."
He then called for another strain of
"Vankeo Hoodie" and clashed tlie two
together and said "Yankee Doodle ro
prosenls human liberty and Dixie wise
the champion of human slavery."
At this point several gentlemen left
the hall, one of llhertn remarking: "Ixrt's
not listen to any more of this stuff."
At the close of tho oitrnon the organ¬
ist played "Home, Sweet Home.”

Honilon’f Narrow Kfiaeape.
A giHxl a tory wM told in one of the
committee rooqwi at the Oflpitol the other
day, touching the senatorial career In
Washington of Sam Houston of'lexns.
It w«« some tine- in the 4 <i'm, not long
after Houston had come to the Senate.
Tlie great Texan was attended by a
faithful black from Virginia bearing the
dUtiuguished name of Richard Henry
Line Richard proved himself a good
laxly servant in all things wave one. He
attended faithfully on every want of
hls eccentric master who was keeping
bachelor's quarters; but no argument
was sufficiently persuasive to induce
Richard Henry Leo to keep the room In
order. A general air of slothful neglect
marked tho surroundings of their domes
tic establishment, ansi time and again
Houston threatened to have Richard
flayed and hi* black bide hung ever the
laiek yard fence ns a frightful example
to all evil-doers.
Things ran on In this way <mc
Houston returned t« his rooms from the
Senate and found the condition of af
fairs at home so bad that -lie determined
then and there to teach Ms Hunky a good
lesson. He deliberately looked the door
amt without saying a word, crossed over
to a table, where lie kept M* pistol «“*«.
openort It very calmly, removed two p!=
tols, battled them, handed one to Richard
and took, the other himself.
"Now, Richard Henry Lee," be began,
in m low voice that foroboded ill, you
stand In Hint corner, while I lake my
position In this, opporito yon, face to
face, man to man, pistol In band. You

and you have Ignorial my wisin'* In tile

either my fis-lings or to my comfort.
Now you Infernal »cnmp, I have iruule

without giving you a ehnw 'or wur dfe
but almoin to fafnmae shall dislinirmsh

I will repeat one of many b g-ipj* told
me by a charming Swedish lady about
til.- family of Count l’iper, the well

Court of Ht. Jarorw. Once upon a time
the head of thl* house v»» bured to

“I would I liad even the dovtl to play

gentleman In wh'uffi Shelley also knew
him. Oddly enough, the devil l'*t hi*
money, and having mme In hi* pockets,
for the reason t>e*t Known to blm«4f,
he offered the Count, in fail quittance
of ail claims, an apperautly golden chain
remarking incidentally that whenever
that chain waa lost or Injured, the
castle of the Piper* would infallibly tr¬
im rued.
This unuwtl annooncemont aroueolHie
