Indian Spirits Carried Him Home. A Mount Lebanon, N. Y. corrospond- «ot of the Hartford Times, writes: “Granville Sproat, 79 years of age, ■who had been a member of the Shaker Society at Mount Lebanon for over 20 Tears, died on the 3rd, Inst, at the bouse of the Canaan family at 1.20 o’clock p. m. He had a large circle of friends outside, having been a promi¬ nent men as a school-teacher, magis¬ trate and preacher. He taught the first public school In Chicago. He was, *Jso. for some twelve years, a self- sacrificing missionary among the wild Indians of the West and was dearly beloved by them. When dying, while sitting in bis chair, the room was filled with Indian spirits who had come to ewcort. him home and welcome him to their ‘Happy Hunting Grounds’ beyond the sphere of their cruel friends—the pale-faced enemy of their race. He understood several Indian dialects. The Indians were devotedly attached to bim and were often with him. They held communion together, like Jesus with Moses and Elias. Granville was no ordinary man. His brethren ana sisters will miss him extremely, but fee will be a minister of good to thorn in their piritual meetings.” A Valuable Franchise Secured.

New York Hotels Have a Man Especially For That Purpose. If there is one particular branch of the culinary art in which the average housewife prides herself, It is her abili¬ ty to make good coffee. As far as com¬ pounding the favorite breakfast bever¬ age Is concerned, she nine times out of ten does not delude herself, but ask any man who is the least bJA of a boa viveur and he will tell you that not one woman in a hundred can make aft- ter-dinner coffee that is fit to drink. The coffee that is set before him at the family table is as different from the clear, brown-black stimulating liquid that is served in the clubs, restaurants and big hotels as is water from wine. He wonders why/this should be, but were he to pay a visit to the precincts sacred to the stewards of onr large hotels, and there learn just how much time, care and money is devoted to the preparation of this one concomitant of a well-served dinner, his respect for the housewife’s efforts would probably increase, while his enjoyment of the post-prandial nectar would doubtless be augmented. One of the most important officials in every large hotel and restaurant in the city is known as the ‘‘coffee man.” His sole duty consists in buying, blend¬ ing and making the gallons of coffee that are consumed daily by the guests. He is very apt to have pronounced ideas regarding blends and mixtures, but his fad par excellence is the partic¬ ular kind of coffee pot or urn to bo used in concocting the beverage. The views of the Waldorf coffee man differ from those of the superintendent of the Imperial; at the Fifth Avenue another blend and another mode of compounding are adopted, while at the Arena the method of coffee making is peculiarly their own. At the Waldorf the biend favored for breakfast coffee is two-thirds of a pound of Mocha to onc-third of Java. The Waldorf cof¬ fee man does not favor coffee that is finely ground, soaks it in cold water for a full hour before it is put in tho latge sieves of the countless huge sil¬ ver urns of the establishment. For breakfast he uses about one pound of coffee to five quarts of water; this is poured through the sieve and strainers, which are arranged in the urns in the regulation French coffee-pot fashion, four times. The result is a clear, am¬ ber-colored liquid of excellent flavor and strength. For the after-dinner coffee he pre¬ fers a blend that Is composed of rather more Java than Mocha, and but four parts of water are allowed to the pound. The process of making is the same. At the Arena coffee is made on the tables in Viennese coffee pots, by what is known as the steaming process. There the mixture consists of equal parts Of Mocha and Java. About one ounce is allowed to each individual pot.. xhe pots themselves are qnaint-look- ing affairs of hammered brass, porce- lain lined, and with glass tops. Un- derneath is swung.a small spirit lamp. In the body of the pot is placed a suf- ficient quantity of cold water, while the allotted ounce of Mocha and Java is put, perfectly dry, and very finely ground, in the glass top. When the water boils the steam slowly ascends through a tube, and as it permeates the dry coffee, drop by drop the pure coffee essence falls into a receiver, with the result that a perfectly pure, full- flavored coffee of the richest strength is obtained. This process is also used by f many ^ of the quaint restaurants af- f( cted the foreign element, but the coffee used is the strong black blend popularly known as Turkish. At both the Imperial and the Fifth Avenue the Mocha and Java mixture is favored, but at these hotels both French and Viennese pots are tabooed, and the old-fashioned method of straining the coffee through a flannel bag prevails.—New York Times. How Berliners "Spruce Up.” The men of Berlin have nn odd habit of brushing and combing their hair and whiskers in public. In the rest¬ aurants and cafes men pull out their implements and “spruce up” while waiting for their orders to be filled. They do not take the trouble to leave the table, either. In the foyers of the Berlin theatres there are many mir- rors. Theoretically they are placed there for the convenience of ladies. As a matter of fact the men are the prin cipal users. Five minutes before the curtain goes up a man may he seen standing before every mirror indus¬ triously using brush and comb. One minute before the curtain rises all hands place brush and comb back in their pockets, and with a well-groomed appearance and self-satisfied smile they march down to their seats.—New York Commercial Advertiser. M. MASTER WORKMAN WAS WILLING, HOWEVER, TO BE RETIRED. NEW YORK MAN HIS SUCCESSOR. Son tuition Sprung In the Gonturnl Amoemblv of Kiiitrhts of Labor in Session all Louisville, Ky. James It. Sovereign, who has been general master workman of the Knights of Labor for the past four years or more and who, before and during that time, has been one of the ablest champions of the order audits doctrines, was relieved of his office Friday afternoon by the general assembly, ill session in Louisville, Ky. Under ordinary conditions Air. Sov¬ ereign’s term of office would not ex¬ pire until the next meeting. This, however, it is said, makes no differ¬ ence with the order whose general officers during a meeting are always in the hands of the assembly and can be chosed and deposed at the will Sover¬ of the majority. Along with Mr. eign there were three other officers re¬ tired because of this special election, viz: T. B. McGuire, general worthy foreman, of Amsterdam, N. Y.; Daniel Brown, of Montana, and H. B. Mar¬ tin, of Minnesota, members of the ex¬ ecutive committee. Henry A. Hicks, of New York dis¬ trict 253. New York city, was chosen to fill Mr. Sovereign’s place, and I. D. Chamberlain, of Pueblo, Col., was selected as general worthy foreman. Senators Field Fi'zpatrick, of Mon¬ treal, and Henry Bostock, of Assem¬ bly 300, glassworkers, were chosen as the two members of the' executive board, the third member being Andrew D. Best. This very decided change in the corps of general officers of the Knights of Labgr will cause considerable aston¬ ishment in labor circles throughput the country, Save to those who were on the “inside,” so to speak, for the past three months there was absolutely nothing of this known. It is said, though the change was sudden and totally unlooked for, was done with the amicable consent of all. In some quarters it is hinted that it had been prearranged. good authority It is learned on that it was with Mr. Sovereign’s hearty approval that he steps down and out. It is, likewise, with the appreciation, and in fact, Jove of his brethren of the order that this is done, The same holds good with the other officers who were relieved. Air. Sovereign stated that ho wished retirement. He want¬ ed rest from the labor which the office entailed upon him. Henry A. Hicks, the general master workman-elect, was seen after tire meeting. He said that he did not in¬ tend to outline the future policy of the order under his administration for several days yet. He expressed the highest admiration for his predecessor, saying that he thought him one of the greatest • exponents of the age of the prime idea represented by the Knights of Labor. I. D. Chamberlain, the worthy fore¬ man-elect, is a newspaper man. All the business transacted at Fri¬ day’s meeting went through in the most amicable manner possible. The afternoon session was princi¬ pally taken up with the delivery of Air. Sovereign’s annual address. Air. Sovereign prefaced his speech with the statement that the opening of this regular session of the general as- eembly presents to the world the “same undismayed membership through whoso fortitude and courage the spirit of progress combats greed and avarice and defies the cant and hypocrisy of the age.” triumph He then dwelt briefly on the of the principles of the order, saying that it had survived the crimes of its traitors, and prospered in spite of the contumely of its enemies. The order, he said, was today stronger in mem¬ bership, stronger in character and stronger in the hearts of the people than it was a year ago. He recom¬ mended that this session confine its deliberations largely to the work of organization, and to this end plans should be put in operation which will insure the service of the largest possi¬ ble number of experienced and efficient organizers in isolated and unorganized fields. LINCOLN SUCCEEDS PULLMAN. He Will Have Cliar|;e of tlio Great. I*»l- ace Car Company. A meeting of the directors of the Pullman Palace Car company was held at Chicago Thursday. Robert T.

The action of the directors, how- pv®r, practically makes Air. Lincoln president of the company. CATTLE CAN ENTER CUBA. No Import or Ofhor Duties Will Be Charged Therefor.

There was an extraordinary turn of affairs Wednesday in the Thorn murder trial at Long Island City, Mrs. Augusta Nack, who was indict- ed together with her erstwhile para¬ mour, Martin Thorn, ,for the murder of her former lover, William Gulden- mippe, for whom she deserted her legal husband, appeared in the role of a state’s witness against Thorn, to the consternation of the latter’s lav.- yers. recited in dramatio The woman a mauuer the story of the assassination of Guldensuppe by Thom, the dis- membermeut of the body, the pait all that she played in the tragedy and relative incidents before and after the murder. Her story created the most intense sensation, and now the great murder • mystery of the year is no longer a mystery, as one of the per- sons most interested has made clear what the court and all the evidence summoned would probably not have d °The “iartlin^annonncement had confessed made Tuesday that Mrs. Nack tbe murder of William Guldensuppe and implicated Martin ihorn was con- tinned Wednesday morning when court assembled by Judge August A.

I told Guldensuppe to enter and exam¬ ine' the house while I went into the yard. I went up stairs and I heard a. shot. Martin Ihorn came running. down and when he met me he said: “I ve shot him; b® is dead. “ He was very excited, and I was half dead, said the self confessed mur- der ess, breathlessly. “ What did von do then?” asked Judge Weller. “He asked me to go home and oome bock at 5 o’clock. when,I c#mo haok- that evening Ihorn had eveiything packed in bundles. He handed me a bundle which he said contained Gul- densuppe’s clothes, and he took an¬ other bundle which was wrapped up in gray-colored paper. He said that it was Guldensuppe s head and that it was done up iu pla-ster of plans. He took the trolley-car and went over to New York on a ferryboat. While cros-, sing the river Thorn dropped his bun- die overboard.” Mrs. Nack stated that she carried her bundle home and burned it. Tho next day they went back to the cottage and found the other bun- dies still there. Whea leaving, Thorn carried one of the 1 bundles with him, and they again crossed the ferry, when Thorn threw his bundle overboard, as on the day before, CONSTABLE KILLS PREACHER. ofTcei-.Suspected Mis vietim w»i n Block- ad» Kminer. A Columbia, S. C.,. special says: It was supposed that when state consta- hies were withdrawn, “except in the rural districts,” there would be no- more homicideR by liquor detectives, but Wednesday night J. H. Turner, for many years a Baptist preacher and recently one of the- most prominent business men iu his- county, lies dead with a bullet through bis jugular vein, The shooting was done by State Constable W. H. Newbold, a Texan, who has done government service iu that state and Mexico, and was eim ployed by Governor Tillman. Turner was a delegate tc the ‘ ’good. roads” convention which met at Co- lumbia Thursday, and was driving to Spartanburg to take a Columbia train, When at Cedar Gro.ve church two men. called to him. to-halt. Before he could rein in his hors®, two shots were fired, and he fell mortally wounded. Newbold' went to Spartanburg, and: his lawyer, fearing violence, got him. a private conveyance and started him. out of town. He- has not been heard of since. It is supposed Turner was taken, for- a blockade runner. Newbold's lawyer telegraphed that the detective held a pistol in each hand: and they were accidentally discharged. “H is a great pity ” said Governor Ellerb«. I would not have given. .New- bold for the rest of the constable gang.” BONDS AS SECURITY. Steerctary Gag* Will Sign Over N tfno Thftna.- saiul of Them.
