In general plan the arch will re- eemble the Arch of Titus. The Ro¬ man desigu is altered, however, lo fit it for location at tha intersection of four streets by having the main piers pierced on the east and west axis of the arch hy smaller openings, as is done in the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This leaves really four piers to the sreb, for the decoration of which a aeries of has reliefs aud groups is sug¬ gested, depicting the call to arms, the battle, the return of the soldiers and peace.

At a meeting of the •ociety called to consider the means of doing the work in the short time remaining, the roll was called for pledges of work and co-operation, Every member who was present at the meeting pledged himself withhut re¬ serve to the work. It is said that the artists in carrying out the plan will give to the city professional service amouniiug in value to $150,000 or 1200 , 000 . A Sad Ca*e. Dr. Chargem—“Your friend needs vigorous treatment; I never saw a man in such a state of meutal depres- eion.

Of course, it wouldn’t have been the thing for Sir Thomas Lipton, tea merchant, Cup challenger and recent¬ ly appointed Barouet, 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 coat-of-arms made, and, honestly, he deserves great credit for the dem¬ ocratic aud unassuming way in which lie has complied the emblem. For the creKt he has designed t wo horny hands of labor, one bearing the flowers of the tea plaut the other that of the coffee plant.

At the bottom of tlie shield is the horn of plenty, and his motto, "Labor Conquers All Things.” It is truly n fitting autobiography ill pictures. The Bout School* The best and cheapest school of journalism is the country newspaper office. No one 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 aud a reporter of events. In the city one rarely if ever meets the people he writes about, aud there ave no consequences to be feared on that score. But in the country there is a personal accounting in stora for the soribe who garbles or errs in statement of facts. This knowledge drills the habit of accuracy into as nothing else will. -- The annual increase of population in the United States is about 1,000,000.

H. Hadlev an enthusias- tic worker in humanitarian affairs. Colonel Hadlev has many symna thizers in his belief that hundreds ol people drink beer because it is the drink most easily obtainable, aud that if other liquids were as cheap and as 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 80 many kinds of law-1,i >ak- system of private atoms In addihSh to this they had secret means , of egress so that escape was possib# in table building, cleared it of its old tenants, freshly painted the dingy in- tenor, and wiought a material as wel as a moral transformation. The first n floor of , the building v was altered i from - a i bar of t 4.1 the i lowest oruer, where i crime • aud hatred were nursed, into the hu« mauitariau substitute, the tea-saloon. The effect of a bar is still retained,but over the shining counter no more del- eterious drink than well-made tea ever passes. Tlie 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 sewed either hot or cold to suit the desire of the patron, and it is also supplemented With a sandwich or a piece of pie or cake. The prices charged for these enjoy- meats range from one cent or plain tea to five 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 families to use the “growler” for bringing drink from the saloon to the home, proved can for carrying it, with a central compartmeut for tea and an outside one for ice, with faucets arranged for drawing oft' either tea or ice water. In the back of tho tea-saloon is ar¬ ranged an assembly-room, where meetiligs it is the custom to hold mission every evening, consisting largely of attractive music, and into these meet¬ ings the patrons wander iu increasing numbers. Upstairs the house is divi¬ ded into twelve rooms, all of which ave furnished, aud 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 alcoholism tV_\ -phi- Iant bropy has ever wielded in defence 2? be wea ^ aud 1 & uoran *- Harper s ® 8Zar -______ vs a* Not Alive at the Tim*. W’hile passing Whitehall the other day a strauger to London asked a policeman if he could point out the window throueh which King Charles passed out to execution.

JIMINEZ UNDER ARREST. Candidate For Dominican Throne Is Experiencing Orgat Trouble, A ipecial from Havana saya: In view of the fact that Colonel Bacallao, chief of the secret police, persisted in pii:r , ,„' , r presidency of Santo Domingo, was in Havana, either--not having left, or having returned, the military authori¬ 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 Cieufuegos, Captain Stamper lo- cated Jiminez and arrested him. Jim- inez denounced the arrest as an out- rage. He said that he had broken no 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 au old per- sonal friend whom he had known in- timatcly for years. When Jeminez was taken into custody, Senor Frias was found,with a police inspector, in close conversation with Jiminez and 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 'T aR comfortab ‘ e “ possible, , end , after Jiminez T . and his secretary had packed their trunks they were accompanied by the chief <lf P olice and Captain Stamper to the Union hotel, where two bedrooms and a (lining room were placed at their dis- T,0 ?. ab General Jiminez will be kept under police charge until further advices are ' e ceived fro “ tbe governor general, rher® . w much excitement among the people of Ceinfuegos over the affair. JJ 1 ® sentiment is generally expressed that the authorities bad no right to ar- rest Jiminez, au unarmed citizen, go- ing apparently to Santiago de Cuba, aud tbe P oint is even raade that, even if h f wer e going to San Domingo, he woa,donl J 1 J be returning to his native country.

T)le p l ace was without military pro¬ tecthm, but the Mexican citizens bar- r i oa ded themselves in their houses 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. - SWELL CRAP SHOOTERS PULLED, oencers Arrest Fifteen Oue.t. of a Promi- ne , lt R e , or , Hotel. ,. „ stable ^ iv. p Ul M.uer raided Raided a^well a swell cram crBf> game ate L bu f sday n ,^ gbt at Ij0okout * rm * 0De 8nTnrD eT Te ” drawn _ sorts in . the south. ^ Pistols were and vt was feared trouble for the ofli- cer* would resultj, but the hotel clerks kept it down.

ANARCHISTS RULE IN PARIS w They Take Possession of the Streets In the French Metropolis. loot churches and destroy their contents Desperate and Stubborn Battles With the Police of Frequent Occurrence, Sunday Paris was the scene of most serious disturbances, recalling some aspects of the commune. In response an a PP eid Journal dul euple and La Petit Bepublique, groups of anarchists and socialists gathered about 3 o’clock in the afternoon in the pi ace de la Bepublique. The police bad taken precautions and there seem- ed n0 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 Rep’ub- liq U e, addressed the crowd. Among 0 ther things he said that the anarchists should be masters of the streets. The police interfered and disloged Faure and Faberot, making three ar- re sts. The crowd at this point dis- persed, but a column of demonstrators beaded by Faure and Henri d’Horr raa ,i e f or the Place de la Nation. The police broke through the column and ft struggle for the mastery follo'wed. Shots were fired and H. Goullier, com- missary of nolice was twice stabbed with a knife. This threw the police ; n t 0 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, a nd 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 Bepublique, and the car driver, on arriving there, gave a sig- na l to the police, who immediately ar- rested them both, together with two other anarchists, Joseph Ferrier and Jea „ 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, d( ^* e the . Proceeding thence toward the Fau- . bo «S du fc^pewhnhthey leache at tha cor “f °* tba t^zSSssS W 1 Hatchets were suddenly produced, witb lo,1 S knives stolen from th«.coun¬ ters of sbops ’ and a conCerted rusb 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 sacrilege. Altars and sta¬ tues were hurled to the floor and smashed; pictures were rent; candle- STILL DRIVING FILIPINOS. One American I-leutenant Killed and An¬ other Wounded In a Skirmish. Advices from Manila state that one , ieutenant of the Twelfth infantry was killed and another seriously wounded while reconnoitering Saturday evening north of Angeles, The Americans encountered a large encountered 100 insurgents intrenched in the mountains of the island of Ne¬ gros and 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¬ ples, 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 aud 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 Ill In Cuba From Dread Disease. A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba sa ™ * ba * Ma i° r Russ eH B. Harrison, . lns P ector general, is critically ill with yellow fever. The disease had been p ro g regs i n g f or three days, althoiigh f pronounced ^ yellow y ,°" fever tevern until ™ 1 1 2 a eiDO ° n '. e case ls be - ur a vrls °‘ 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 and thrown into the flames. Suddenly ti /" cry was raised that the statue of the Virgin had been forgotten, aud the returned and tore this down also. MeaDwhile the sacristan, who had 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 gain the mastery. A score of anarchists took refuge in an adjacent house. Others intrenched themselves in the belfry and fiercely defended themselves by showering missels on the repuMi- can guards, but finally they were dis- lodged. Twenty anarchists were nr- rested, taken to the police station, searched and found to be carrying re- velvets, 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. Judes 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 werte 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- curded in much tke-fasbio»able feared that jfistriets*-* Sunday’s It is 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 and 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 walked9,260 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 Sew Eases of Bubonic. Advices from Madrid state that three cases of the bubonic plague are re¬ ported from Opbrto. They are said to be of a mild character. WILL ROOT RESIGN? Story Is Afloat That New Secretary of War I* Already Tired of His Job. An interesting Btory is going the rounds in Washington that Secretary Root will resign his portfolio. In a word it is rumored that the secretary is already siek of his job and that he will be forced to abandon his post in humiliation if he does not protect 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 And Order* Will Be Issued To Release Captain Dreyfus, It Is Said. The-Paris correspondent of The London Sunday Special says: “The government, I understand, has decided to arrest General Mercier. It is rumored that orders will be given to withdraw the case against Dreyfus, it having been proved that the docu¬ ments relied upon to establish his , guilt are forgeries. ”
