(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.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 13. 1885. 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. I Mexican Matters. Brownsville, Tex., Feb.

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. haereligioux Burglars.
