DORSEY’S RANCH.
The Largest Shipments of Cattle from the
Biggest Stock Farm in the Country.
Washington, Feb. (L—Ex-Senator Dor
eey, Jo)_n B. Alley, R. G. Ingersoll and two
Chicago men comprising “the directors of the
Palo Blanco cattle company have hdd their
annual meeting.” Dorsey has half of the
stock, Alley a quarter, and Ingersoll a sixth.
The remaining one-twelfth belongs to the
nameless Cmcagoans. It was announced that
the cash pre fits of the last year to he divided
amounted to &300ZMX 1 . After the five checks
had been distributed, it was arranged that
Dorsey and Ingersoll should be re
lieved of all cares and responsibilities
during the coming year, with a view of tak
ing a trip to Europe. Alley was elected presi
dent, Dorsey vice president, and Ingersoll
secretary. Palo Blanco is claimed to tie the
largest ranch in the Unite-1 States. Some
thing like eighty stockmen were bought out
before the company became satisfied wo h the
boundaries. It is sixty by ninety miles id
extent, covering an area of 5,4<X) square miles,
and in the heart of Colfax count n thf
porUwastern New Mexico. Alhougli
ptals i iitlii WnM
fapitalized at $2,000,000, the property has in
:rea.*hl so far in value that it is now believed
to represent twice that amount. ’Hiere were
ihipp d last year 10,622 beeves, the largest
number ever shipped from one ranch in the
ame period. There are now on the property
55,000 head of cattle. As to the Euixqx an
trip, Mr. Dorsey contemplates a year’s al>-
senoe, w’hile Pope Bob says he shall take his
p amily and lay his plans for five years’ resi

WHITE CROSS CRUSADE.
ORGANIZING A CHURCH MOVEMENT
FOR PURITY AMONG MEN.
A Church Full of Men and Women Ad
drested by a Bishop and Judge -Chris
tian Women Blamed —Creear Should
be as Pure ns Chnust'm Wife.
New A’ork, Feb, IL—Every j>ow in the
Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist,
in West Eleventh street, was filled Sunday
night w hen Rector B. F. De Costa oponeil the
meeting in behalf of the “White Cross Move
ment,” which has for its aim “th© mainten
ance of purity and the suppression of vice.”
Many w r omen were present and were attentive
listeners. Bishop Berry of lowa and half ft
dozen ministers sat in the chancel. Assistant
Bishop Putter sent a letter saying that illness
ah ne prevented him from attending, and
spviking in earnest supixirt of the miwement.
1 )r. De Costa told of the organization of
the White Cross movement by t he young men
of tin* parish less than a year ago. It was
modelled after the movement stalled in
England by the bishop of Durham, and car
ried on with the aid of Miss Ella Hopkins,
who had l>een marvellously successful as a
missionary, and had had wonderful influence
in stirring up the men of England to a sense
of their duty in the cause of the purification
of society'. The young men of the parish had
undertaken to republish the tracts that had
been pixxluctive of so much good on the other
side of the water. Five of these tracts have
already been issued. Os the last, a quarter of
a million haxl alnwly been sold in England.
These tracts are oddn'ssed to husbands and
young men, and they urge them to lead pure
lives and use their efforts to influence others
to do so. Dr. Do Costa said the platform of
the White Cross movement has four planks.
They are:
1. To treat all women with respect and protect
them from insult and harm.
2. To put down ail indecent language and coarse
jest.
3 To maintain the law of purity’ as equally bind
ing on men and women.
4. To keep thyself from impurity and to spread
these principles among young men, and lead them
to adopt them.
“Wo all accept the fourth plank of th© plat
form in ’ henry,” said Dr. De Costa, “but do
wo nil n:*c< pt it in fact? Do we not rather act
in direct violation of it? Do we not tolerate
that in >ur highest officers that we would
not tolerate for an instant in a servant girl?
We insist that Cnesar’s wife shall be above
suspicion, but what do we say of Csesar?
“It is the purpose of this White Cross
movement to maintain that Crnsar shall In
held as resjM>nsible for personal purity ai
Cu*sarß wife. If you are to spurn the poet*
won an who by a single step loses her yirtuf,
what are you going to do with the man who
causes her downfall? The White Cross mis
sionaries say that he shall be held to a strict
accountability; tliat the woman shall not
alone lie punished.”
Ex-Judge William H. Araoux spoke from
the standpoint 6f the laity. He trusted that
the movement would be one of the great
means of bringing in the mlllenium which
ti. • word of God promises. He said:
“We hardly realize the greatness of the
seventh commandment. It is the greate-t
law in the decalogue. Let us see what “Thou
shall not commit adultery” means. Sliall we
not fe« 1 it an invitation to enter into that hon
orable relation with woman tliat the Bible en
coui ag' .c The family relation is the noblest
of mankind, and it is a dreadful thing fora
man to infringe that commaiximent which
protects the family relation. Moses, in his
time, looked u«xm that relation so holy that
in <>ne case where the transgressor was the
wife h< awarded death as the penalty fur the
infringement of the law.
“God has reserved a terrible punishment
for the adulterer. Upon Hcxlam and Gomor
rah )“• rained fire from heaven. For what
other sin has U<* everileaU such a prnfi-h
--ment upon a whole nation? No individual can
break the law without meeting with punish
ment.
“Look how lieneflcent is this law in its pro
vision. Can any good come of the relation
that is carried on in violation of its precept?
Do not infanticide and a train of evils follow
where such evil relation is maintained? The
\ : birthright of the child bom in such a re
li i m precludes it from enjoying those ad
\ ullages of pure home surroundings, educa
t’ >!i. and religious training tliat are the bless
i,;g of the offspring of holy wedlock. We are
to ■ apt to hide our heads like the ostrich when
facing this evil. The true way is to look at ;t
fa-e »o face. The true way ie to realize that
adultery is the source of terrible evils. And
to right the gn at wrong very different legis
lation is needed from the custom of to-day in
dealing with it. When the man is the greater
sinner it is not right tliat woman should be
made the sole sufferer.
“I know that there are many Christian
women who would spurn the unhappy victim
and welcome her destroyer with a full knowl
edge of wliat he has done. It should be the
other way. Women should resolve that no
matter when or where they meet the man,
they will treat the man as the one to be pun
ished. When they do carry out such a reso
lution the wrong will speedily <xiaee. But un
til women ifiiali say that the man shall be pun
i.;., ' ! with every means within their power
for such conduct, the greatest law of the deca
logue will Ixi continued to be thought lightly
of by men who do not know w hat religious
training and fear of God’s law are. We want
to remember the truth of the promise that
the pure in heart shall see God, and those
that are not pure shall burn in hell fire. We
want to remember that sinful indulgence
deadens all the natural affections and destioyi
the chance of true earthly liappineos.”
JAY GOULD’S START-
How the Millionaire Famed IHb First
Money —An Old Story Denied.
New York, Feb. 11.—Jay Gould carefully
read the publiJied dispatch from Port Jai vis,
in which it was asser' -d that he sull swed a
cobbler at A lligerville, Ulster county, for nec
essary re}>airß to his shoes when he was en
gaged in surveying tlie county, over a quarter
of a century ago. His eyes twinkled with
fun when he looked ftp from the newspaper
clipping which a reporter handed him.
“Ridiculous,” he remarked. “Why, I used
to mend my own shoes. In those <iays every
farmer’s son was taught to make aud cobble
his own boots. I shouldn’t have thought of
spending money on something I could do my
self. Iw as only sixteen years old then. A
man by tlie name of Snyder advertised for an
engineer to survey tlie county for a map. 1
remember w'ell when I went to work for him.
He gave mo no money, but un]y a small booh
in which I was to put down the names of per
sons with whom I boarded and the amount due
them. He told me to get trusted for every
thing. The first place I slept at after I began
work I ha/1 trouble. I told the farmer after 1
hail eaten my breakfast what Snyder had told
me to do, and I took out my book to make tin
entry. Tlie farmer squared off at me at once and
from him, and afterwards many others, 1
learned that Snyder was in veiy bad repute in
a limuicial way. It put me on my guard,
however, and when my work was dune Ire
fused t/> give it up before I was paid. Sny
der had no money, and the mult wm that
mother young man, Mr. Tilson, and T com
pleted the survey, and the map was male in
the next winter. I sold out to Tilson anil got
(1,500, 1 think, fur my summer’s work. I
was rich then. After I found out about
Snyder, I worked my own way by making
noon marks for the farmers. They paid me
(1 a piece, and that carried me through in
good shape.”
A MISSING WILL UNEARTHED.
I After Many Years the Rightful Heirs Come
In for a Hungarian Estate.
I Cleveland, 0., Feb. 11.—Early in the
present century there lived in Fressburg,
Hungary, an old couple named Weislowitch.
They were very wealthy, and being childless
adopted a young girl as their daughter. In a
few years the aged wife died, and in due
course of time the old man, then over seventy
years of age, married the adopted daughter,
who was sevent<H)n. Two y ears later he also
died, and the vast estate passed into the pos
session of tl»e young wife, no will liaving
been found. She soon married again, this
time a physician, but a few years her senior.
The direct heirs of Weislo witch
believed that they hail Ixsen cheated of their
rights, and brought suit to recover a part of
the estate, at least, from the young widow.
The suit hung tiro in the courts for many
years. The hoirs became scattered and many
died, so that the case was finally dropptxi out
of coiu’t. The widow of Weislowitch, after
marrying the physician, held the property of
her first husband until her death, when, ai
she was childless, it went to her second hus
band. Nothing more was heard of the mat
ter for years. There was but one family at
the time who could lay any claim to the es
tate, aud most of the members had passixl
away. One of the sons married and became
the father of elev<*n children. Four of these
children now live i*i t his country—John Weis
lowith, of 'Whitelaw, as he is known, called
a millionaire, of Akron; Mrs. Tratt
ner, Mrs. Emanuel Goldbery and Mrs
Emanuel Rosenburg, of this city. They had,
of course, abandoned all hope of ever inherit
ing auy portion of the wealth of their do
ceased relative. Not long ago the doctor, tht
husband of Weislowiteh's widow, uasstrickon
down in tlie streets of Ti'slh by a stroke of
paralysis. Two young studeuts in that city
in reading an account of the incident in a
paper were struck w ith the name, and, upon
investigation, found it to be the man who
years before had cheated them, as they al
ways thought, out of their inheritance. They
begau an investigation, and were fortunete
enough to find an old lawyer, how living in
Poland, who remembered having drawn tp
x wfill for WeLslowith in which,
ter allowing his young wile a comfortable in
come during her litetime, ho left all his prop
erty to liis heirs at law. With the aid of toe
lawyer the two students instituted a search
(or the long missing will, and at last it was
found hid away among some musty docu
oiente in the lawyer’s office, where it had lain
forgotten for years. The physician died and
the estate which ho had jx>ssessed since
the death of his wife was found to
be worth in the neighborhood of 6,0(X),-
XX) florins. The old will was probated and
there was no one to dispute it. An order
>f the court was granted turning the prop
srty over to the rightful heirs. The Ohio
heirs were lately notified by their lawyers in
Hungary that the whole estate was to be dis
posed of as might Ije mutually decided upon
by the eleven brot hers and sisters. They will
orobably go themselves or send a lawyer
to Pressburg to look after their interest. All
the parties here are m moderate circumstan
ces.
ELECTRIC KNIGHTS WANT CASH.
relvgraph Opera tom to Ho ot> Strike Uuleee
They are I'aid.
New York, Feb. 11.—Like far-off thunder
was heard Monday the rumbles of discon
tent among the operators of the Bankers and
Merchants' Telegraph Company.
Thev are indignant that their demands for
■wiln j due have Ijeen unheeded and threaten
to h > in a Ixxly unless Rceehers Kuiilb and
Newcombe rocognue their claims.
“Two weeks agu,” said an oixirator to a re
porter, “we presented to the receivers a pro
test against the existing system of payments
and a demand for immediate settlement of
bock salaries.
“Tins was met by the receivers with a re
quest that al! operators erase their names
from the p i ion or suffer dismissal. This
frightened some of toe petitioners, and after a
lozen had erased their signatures the pafxir
was consigned to oblivion. However, on the
day following salaries were promptly paid.
“When the next pay-<lay arrived, January
10, and two weeks’ salary was demanded the
receiver boldly asscited tliat no salaries were
'hie until the end of the month.
“Quite a number of operators tendered
their resignations, but the receivers refused to
settle with those who desired to quit. This
had the effect of compelling men to remain
who were only Vx> eager to leave, in order to
obtain the amounts due them.
“Many of our ojierators represent the finest
talent in the profession ami formerly held
go<xl positions in other companies, but were
induced to leave to accept a paltry increase of
wilury in the Bankerand Merchants’.
“Many are row concealing a <x>ndition of
Actual suffering and want and are only re
maining-with the company in the hope that a
kind Fro violence will suggest means whereby
tlie company may become released from its
financial tangle and the opei abors may secure
their hard-eai ned wages. ”
To add to the miseries of those who have re
signed from the company’s employ it was
stated that they have learned through counsel
that there is no legal pnx ros by which the re
ceivers can be compelled to pay the arrears.
A meeting <»f the dissatisd«*d operators is to
be Iveld iu a day or so, all their claims are to
be jxxfied, an'l a demand for payment is to l>e
made. If n- -elvers Smith and Newcombe
do not pay the salaries a strike second only
to that of the Western Union will be inaugu
rated.

RICH BREEDING GROUND
ANARCHISTS SOWING THE WIND TO
REAP THE WHIRLWIND.
Th© Introduction of Foreign Labor, th©
Germ of an Evil Organization—Some
thing About Its Working* as
Learned from an Oiticial.
Pittsburg, I’a., Feb. 11.—A special from
Mt. Pleasant, the heart of the Connellsville
coke region, says: The wholesale In trod no
tion of foreign labor into this section of the
state has furnished a wonderful breeding
ground for every idea of anarchistic tendency.
The men who now dig ccal are of every na
tionality imaginable, but the teeming masses
who live on the cheapest food and labor, man,
woman and child, as bread winners are com
posed principally of Hungarians, Poles, Aus
trians i: id Selavonians. Upon the ears of
these men the doctrine of equality in riches
and lands falls with peculiar sweetness. They
know what slavery and serfdom mean, and
anything that will place them in a position to
enloy the advantages which they are quick to
realize the Americans possess, lias a charm
more potent to them than can lx* realized.
The seeds sown by the anarchistic and social
istic societies have fallen upon rich ground,
and their roots to-day are ramifying the
whole coke region. The branch organizer, Jos.
Hudtz, admitted that there was a society
composed of about 1,000 men, Bohemian and
English, in the coke region. This organiza
tion has central offices in Chicago, Pittsburg
and Now York. W )ekly dues are paid
amounting to ten cents and the total amount
is sent to the central • jenciea When asked
if any ideas tending tovard the overthrow of
authority w<*re held as cardinal virtues in the
society, Hudtz refused absolutely to answer.
There are also in this region a number of so
cialists. Their plan of obtaining the much
dewired result is enshrouded in mystery. A
manifesto just issued by their national execu
tive committee is dated at New York January
29, and is addressed to socialists, anarchists
find Irish dynamiters. It ojiens by jxiy
ing its resp&ts to the capitalistic press
which dares to connect the socialistic
parly with the London explosion,
and the committee puts itself on record by
declaring that such acts of terrorism are
prejudicial to (be furtherance of their plans.
It e an earnest desire for the freedom
of Ireland, but declares that end must be at
tained by a conjunction of English proleta
rians. It further states tliat tlie bitterest war
exists between socialism and anarchism, aud
that toe complete organization of the work
ingmen under the socialistic, banner will one
day put an end to all oppression.
In conclusion, the circular state’s that the
workingmen will soon find out t he truth about
the capitalistic lies, and will help the social
ists, by the establishment of a better order of
society, to remove all motives and all desires
for violence.
CHEAPER SCHOOL BOOKS WANTED.
Th© Repeal of tlie Scott Liquor Ijkw Bank
rupts Many Ohio Towns.
Columbus, 0., Feb. 11.—The present agita
tion of the school book question in the Ohio
legislature is deemed unfortunate for the
dominant party, not because something is not
needed in the way of reform, but rather be
cause of the impracticability of every meas
, ure that has come up for considera
| tion. It seems that the demaud for
I cheaper school btxjks arises piincipally
from the tact tliat there have been in
tlie past few years so many changes in tin*
text laioks that the buiden has become weari
some. Some of the bills introduced in the
legislature to lessen the demand on the public
purse are mcxlel examples of ignorance, ami,
it adopted, would defeat the party in power at
the first election. Mr. l’<>eb bill providing for
the appointment of a commission by the gov
ernor vo buy copyrights or to arrange for the
selection of an entire new series of text books
to be printed in the penitentiary is regarded
as a measure which should receive no further
consideration from the legislature.
Other bills providing lor the apjx>intment
of a com i nit too to examine the various te<xt
‘ books now bi use, and to contract aud adupt ■
a certain series, the use of which is made ar I
arbitrary in the common schools of th ■ state,
is also contemplated with suspicion, as it would
insure to the successful publishers an absolute
monopoly of toe school book trade in Ohio for
five years, and would secure aid an I support
‘from the state for u measure which such
statesmeiias Allen O. Myers have so furiously
coundemned. Many conservative members
. are iu doubt us to the right of the i
I state to say what text boo:. should
•be used. Some very able lawyers con- '
, tend that the state has no such right, and
I when the ure assumes to lake from |
• toe hands of the people in any section the 1
; liberty to use such books as they choose and
I empowers a syndicate appointed by the gov
ernor to select their school books, the stale in
' vades the family circle and denies the rights
of the | arents to educate their < hildren ac-
I cording to their own (itwires. There are no lest*
i than six duferent bills now before the two
houses, all ui which are more or less impractiv
able. Tlie people will demand tex nJ option
in scb< <>l buoas. Columbus schools will not.
and can not, be compelled to use the same
series of text books that are in use iu J >ay too
or Cincinnati, yet it is a remarkable iuct that
in every bill the wuid “bhuil” is iuoerted in
stead of “may. ’
j his - 'ate is not in a condition to enter the
school quoic publishing busmess. The reiuriu i
ex | Miinn icut iu the penitentiary resulted iu ■
deficiency of over s4i,iUo during the fin>;
seven months, and every penal an i tieuevo
leut mstiiuuou m the stale ran imuiuml test
year, the amount reached bemg nearly
tl<«0,000. These institutions are asking
for increased appropriations ilite year.
Nearly every incorporated town in
the state has become bankrupt owing to the
abolition of the Hcott liquor taw tax by tbs
supreme court Nearly every day bills are
introduced authorizing cities to borrow
money, in this city every dollar has been
long ago expended and purmis*ioa to borrow
$59,00U bu.-> been asked,
Ihe indications are tnat every schcxfl book
bill will be defeated uiiiess a meaiuro is intro
duced authorizing boards of education te
make contracts with publishers for a certain
period of time. The opposition to the further
progress of tlie state m the way of experi
ments is such that all measures having ap
propriations atmciied stand only a shgifi
chance ut passing eitner house.
