1 STEW ARI’S GRAND CATHEDRAL.
The Mnu’olenm Under the .Altar—Does It
Hold the Rein Tub of the Millionaire?
Special to the Baltimore American.
Excursion trains wire run yesterday to
Garden City, where the magnificent Cathe
dral, commenced by the late Alexander
T. Stewart and completed by his widow,
has been open to inspection since its dedica
tion on Thursday. The musical parts of the
services we.e a special attraction, but the
splendors of the structure are the
p-incipal exhibit; and mr than
aught else the crypt which does or does not
contain the stolen body of Stewart has been
interestedly regarded by the multitudes.
The mausoleum is directly underneath the
altar, and is made of columned and carved
marble, white and colored, in pieces brought
from the most celebrated quarries in the
world. Thirteen windows are marvels in
the art of stained glass, the pictures repre
tenting scenes in the earthly life of Christ.
Under a canopy of stone stands a large white
urn, lettered with the name “Stewart,” and
designed to hold the remains of the great
merchant. Against the bronze gates of this
structure the visitors crowd with
morbid eagerness, while in subdued tones
they discuss the open question whether the
ashes have ever been deposited in the urn.
Ex-Judge Hilton, the present controller of
the estate, positively declines to say yes or
no; the police detectives, who worked in the
celebrated case, believe that the body was not
recovered; and'it is not probable that ten per
sons know- the truth. One of the excursionists
on Friday was a spiritualist medium of local
fame—Amanda Partridge. Her specialty
is the trance, into which she apparently
drops upon tee slightest occasion. On get
ting to the gate of the Stewart mausoleum
she went at once in’o a trance state, under
! the alleged control of the spirit of Stewart,
who, through her, announced that his re
mains were really in the urn. The custo
dians preferred to regard her condition as a
common every day fainting fit, and removed
her from the room Notwithstanding her
evidence to the contrary, the burden of
proof is that the tomb is empty.
WOMEN WHO FLAY POKER.
A Story from Washington which M sy Mak
the Hair Stand on End.
Washington Letter in Boston Traveller
The crazs for playing poker has b oken
out am ng fashionable ladies in VV ashing
ton. ’I he doings of the Army Poker Club,
where lhe lives and reputati >n of so many
officers have been blasted,are a matter of gen
eral knowl sdge and gossip,but during Lent,
when it was so wicked to dance,the fair dames
have consoled • hemselves with the clatter of
the chips and the excitement of “the draw. ’
It is stated that one young society belle re
cently lost over S2OO at five sittings. That
is quite a large sum in a game where betting
i above twenty-five cents was prohibited. The
favorite game among the young ladies, . how
! ever, is the “penny ante, five-cent limit.’
i This is almost exclusively confined to ladies
■ who have only a limited or moderate amount
i of pin money each week, but there is said to
:be a heap of fun for- the spectators.
Very few gentlemen are admitted to
this game. A much nine r». ii ted and re
spectable form of amusement h is been es
tablihed for their enjoyment. The poker
parties where both s-xes p ay d < not use
ivulgar chips or still more vulgar money;
; that would be carrying the thing 100 far.
El iborate and cosily favors are provided—
I paid for, of course, by the gentlemen—and
I then the entire party sits down to a game
of “freezs out” This is a very popular
| and entertaining style of amusement
and is played quite extensively. Some of
the lady players have become adepts at the
game. One of the most demure looking
young misses in town recently defeated an
“old stager” at a party given at a certain
fashionable residence, and when, a few even
ings later, he came back for his revenge, she
won enough kid gloves to last her a year.
Congressmen Who Smoke.
From theJNew York Graphic.
Governor Curtin smokes six imported
cigars a day, which cost him seventy-five
cents.
Congressman Glasscock of California, is
the cigarette fiend. He smokts three
packages a day.
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky, smokes
the strongest kind of three f r a quarte:
clgirs.
Congressman Hayne«, of New Y uk, uses
a meerschaum cigar-holder which he has
o cue I for eighteen years.
Congressman Deuster, of Michigan, al
way ciia. ges his brands He is fickle in
his tast-s He smokes nothing but cigar
ettes.
Congressman Cassidy, of Nevada, always
has a cigar in his mouth, and he smokes at
least a dozen a day, which cost him about
fifteen cents apiece.
Congressmen Tom Payne, Arnott and
David Paige smoke the very finest brands
of imported cigars, but they are abundant
ly able to stand the expense.
Leopold Morse, the millionaire Jew Con
gressman of Boston, smokes imported cigars
and 1 ts of them. His favorite attitude is
with his hands in his pockets and one of
these cigars inhis mouth.
Tom Ochiltree never uses tobacco. Wil
liam Wa'ter Phelps and Judge Kelley do
not smoke, and Perry Belmont neither
smokes nor chews. Ben Lefevre chews
constantly. Reagan, of Texas, likes good
tinecut, and Speaker Carlisle is fond of the
! chewing tobacco known as “peach blossom.”

Bolton’s Art Entertainm nt
Mr. C. E. Bolton who will give a series
of art entertainments at the Savannah
Theatre shortly, was born in Massachusetts
and graduated from Amherst College in
1865. He has spent five seasons traveling
through Europe. In 1880 he was a delegate
to the Woild’s Convention of Young Men’s
Christian Associations, and to the Sunday
School Centenary held in London. While
abroad he corresponded for the Chicago
Tribune, Cleveland Leader, Springfield Re
publican, Corigregationalist. Boston and
other journal-, and has written for the St.
Nicholas and Wide Awake. He is writing
twelve ill istrated articles for the former
magazine on the “Progress of Invention.”
In 1881 he formed the Educational Bureau,
which gives each winter in the great Ta
bernaJe, to 4,000 persons, a course of ten
lectures, preceded by concertsand half hour
prebides on important subjects, and choice

A Flutter Crea’ed by Secretary Mannitig—
A > unib ir of Important Chang k Kx
pec e«t—Flunkey ism to be no Longer
Tolerated -Good Work of the >ix li
Auditor something Ason
ishing Exp* cted t<» Occur
Before Long.
Washington, April 12.-—The return of
Secretary Manning causes a flutter of ex
pectancy in the Treasury Department. A
number of important changes are anticipated
this week. There are three bureau vacan
cies, and the names of those who are to fill
them have not been mentioned with any
pretension of accuracy. Beneath the bureau
official are several subordinates always, who
hang on the favors of their chief, and these
chief clerks have their satellites, all of whom
are anxiously wait'ng for the official cat to
jump. One of the most difficult jobs Mr.
Manning has ahead of him is to discriminate
between the flunkeys of the department, who
have reached the dizzy pinnacle of a two
thousand dollar clerkship by “ influence,”
personal or political.
Most of the high-grade clerks are the re
sult of pure political influence, without hav
ing any special ability or fitness for the work.
The supposition that they have work d their
way up and succeeded by sheer merit is a
mistake indulged in only by the ignorant.
Some of these petty chiefs have risen by the
most abject and persistent flunkeyism. These
fellows are now hanging about Secretary
Manning in the most pitiable manner. Ap- 1
pointnient Clerk Higgins is one of 1
those to bt conciliated and he is I
getting such a dose as would sicken an I
ordinary man. But Higgins is not an ordi- !
miry man, as was evinced by his deelara’ion i
to one of these flunkeys in the Internal |
Revenue Bureau: “When 1 get through
with this bureau you will think an elephant [
I has s'epped on you.” Another sent flowers to
' Sixth Auditor Mcl'onvi le, who sent them
i back with the rem <rk: “They are not seut
j to me as a gentleman or by a friend; they
I are for official favors.”
: The Sixth Auditor is beginning right,
j That office is fairly loaded down with drones
I and pets of various Senators and denartmen
i tai chiefs! Thera are w >men there who have
done nothing but nominal work for years.
: ch il pensioners, drawing their sal tries with
; great regularitj. Auditor Crowell tried to
: break up thegmg, but licked the sympathy
lof the Secretary of the Treasury. There
were too many Senators and distinguished
members of Congress behind these fashion
ab'e drone-, and they could not be touched.
Now Secretary Manning has a new
lieutenant in the person of Auditor
McConv lie, and he has taken hoi I
with the determination to ■'_• ni.
his office cu a business basis. Hr began. .
■ ye.-terday by plunging the official knife
squarely into the midiil- of a coterie ot
these idlers and placed them where they
must work or go. There is great < ommo ion
in consequence. It is said that tin- records
of the various offices about the Treasury wi 1
show fifty percent more work done dining
the past month than in any corresponding
month for ten years.
That Secretary Manning will be able to
get. through the work of consolidation, elim
ination and extirpation without a row with
some of the backers of these disturbed
stipendiaries is not to be expected. He has
ali summer, however, in which toclearc’ecks
for action, and his trusted lieutenants have
vigorously begun the work. Something will
drop in the Treasury before long that will
j astonish the caravansary.
The Two Johns.
I The man who laughs is happy, and no
s play seems to procure that desirable end
j more fully than the comedy of the “Two
I Johns,” to be played at the Savannah Thea
tre on Friday and Saturday next. The
piece was presented in Newark, New Jer
sey, for one week, and a Newark exchange
thus speaks of it:
“The “Two Johns” Comedy Company,with
John Hart and J C. (Fattie) Stewart came
j here on the 29th for one week and tunred peo
ple away by the hundreds. This was contriry
to expectations, as it was thought that the
wrerched'y bad dog show which played to
empty seats during the past week would ex
ert a disastrous influence over the Opera
! House for sometime to come. Only such a
i strong attraction as the “Two Johns” could
have redeemed the theatre’s reputation,
j The fat trio, Hart Stewart, and Baby Frank
' Rush (who tips the series at 336 pounds),
were ably assisted by an excellent company,
in consequence of which the audience were
fairly convulsed with laughter from the
time the curtain was up until the comedy
ended. The “Two Johns” is a funny play,
and certainly created a genuine sensation in
Newark,”
Look at Our Goods.
i It does not annoy us, for lookers politely
treated often become steadfast customers,
Haven’t you noticed how hard it is for some
salesmen to show goods unless they feel sure
you will buy then and there? Our invaria
ble rule is, “Courtesy to all, whether wish
ing to buy or not.” There is a large number
of young men in this city who regularly de
pend on us to fit them out each season in the
most approved manner, for our manner of
doing business is One Price to all, and that
the lowest for cash. “The Famous” know
of no reason why any one man’s money is
better to them than another’s, but we do
know many reasons why One Price to all is
the only way to deal. Some young men
dislike to put on a new suit of clothes.
Well, it is annoying to have every one you
meet ask if it has been wet. The clothes
sold by “The Famous" will stand any
amount of wetting, that is in the rain. If
you doubt it, purchase a Suit from the well
known Famous New York Clothing House,

correspondence with the Chicago chib in
the endeavor to secure an engagement with
that club for three days next week. If the
engagement can be made the people of the
city will have an opportunity of witnessing
some interesting games of baseball. Ar

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Rule Nisi Dismissed. •
The readers of the Times will doubtless
remember reading a few weeks ago of what I
was intended to be a startling exposure of
several of the United States Commissioners I
of Georgia. These charges were predicated I
as follows:
A special Examiner of the Department of
Justice visited the office of the Commission
ers, and, among others, he caused a rule nisi
to be issued against Commissioner Haskins,
of Macon, who was dismissed for disregard
ing a rule of the Court in issuing warrants
without first submitting facts to the District
Attorney and obtaining his written consent.
Haskins was dismissed, and be then pub
lished an alleged statement in several pa
pers, in which he endeavored to im-1
plicate all the Commissioners in Georgia.
Ou this ihe examiner had a rule issued
against D. P. Dunn, of Brunswick; M. L. |
Wade aid SamuilL vy, of Augusta, and
Thomas C. Sturgess, of Ccbtmbus. These 1
Ci mmi-sioners appeared b.Jore Hon Don
A. Pardee, Judge of the United States Cir
cuit Court, this morning. The rule of the
court is that Commissioners, before issuii g
warrants in Internal Revenue cases, should
sulmit their f cts in writing to the Dis'riel ■
Attorney and obtained his consent iu writ
ing. The Commissioners made their an I
swers in writing and in showing to the court, i
win. after fully examieg into the matter
discharged the rule, stating that there was
no good cause shown for their removal, but
cautioned that in the future the rule of the
court must be strictly com| l ed with.
AN ECCLESIASTICAL SUIT
To Decide Who was Called to Prrach at
the Bethlehem Colored Baptist Church.
Yesterday and to-day the case of Solomon
Walker, complainant, and John Nisbitt, de
fendant, was up for trial in the Superior
Court. It is a case in equity and involves
the question as to which one of these colored
litigants is the legal minister of the Bethle
hem Baptist Church. The complainant was
called by a majority of men and a few
women, while the defendant was elected to
preach by a majority of women and a few
men. A. B. Smith, Esq., on the part of the
complainant, and Messrs. Levy & Lazaron on
behalf of the defendant, endeavored yester
day and to-day to convince the court and
jury that each one was right, and that
Walker and not Nisbitt and vice versa had
the right to preach.
A Pleasant Entertainment.
St, John the Baptist T. A. B. Society gave
last night at Catholic Library Hall the first
of a series of free entertainments. It was
largely attended and proved one of the most
interesting events of the season. The initial
exercises was an opening address by Presi
dent N. F. Thompson, which was _ followed
by a stirring speech and the recital of a
beautiful poem by Mr. Ambrose N. O’Keefle,
a talented young gentleman of this city.
This appeal to the ladies, as it was called,
was well received. A piano duet by Miss
Lizzie and Master Bain Thompson pleasantly
followed. It was admirably well executed.
Miss Annie Laird gave a recitation and Mr.
W. H. Readick sang a song “Waiting,” both
of which were well received. Master Eddie
Conner, the boy violinist, executed excep
tionally well a violin solo which was followed
by a recitation by Mr. T. B. Catherwood. A
concerto forthe viclinby Prof. Albert Krause
completed the entertainment, which was
enjoyed by all attending.

j of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a cor
. | poration chartered under the laws of the
State of Ohio, the large brick dwell ig
on Andetsoa street, near Laurel Grove Cem
etery, formerly owned by the late L. H De
Montmoliin. This place has beautiful
grounds, embracing about ten lots, which
were mainly utilized for horticulture. The
society which tecenlly purchased the place
has had a force of working men employed
tn remodelling the house, completing some
necessary details and arranging it for a
boarding school, where colored girls will be
taught lessons of practical utility in house
keeping, sewing, botany, and probably some
of the higher branches in addition to those
of the rudimentary order. The building will
have its dormitories and refactories, where
the pupils will sleep and eat, and will
be conducted on principles corresponding
, with thise of a modern boarding schools in
' -o far as it can consistently with character
I f lhe pupils. The schools will be taught
| by northern women who will be sent here
I by the society for that purpose and will be
under the control of the society which
purchased the huil ling. Mrs. Lucy W.
Hayes, wife of Rutherford Hayes, is the
President ol the society and the most prom
inent patroness of tbh and s’m.lar institu
tutions. All the work will be far enough
advanced in a few days to enable the pro
j dots to carry out their plans and open
the schco'.

The Effect of a S w. r.
! The Ogeechee Canal, al the foot of Bryan
street, is the basin iu which the conten s of
j the sewer recently built by the city through
’ the street empties its contents. The street
I gradually slopes tcwaid the canal, and when
heavy rains fail the water forces all lhe de
bris to the canal and gradually fids it up at
the eastern bank. To remedy this and pre
vent, if possible, any detriment to the pass
age of flats, barges and boats, Capt. Frank
' Blair, the president of tl e Ogeechee- Canal
I Company, has had a force of workmen en
gaged at the point mentioned building a sort
| c.f back water and placing earth w< rk con
structions so as to divert the flow, i bis is
done so as to obviate the necessity at a fu
ture lime of erecting a wall of brick, stone
or cement on that place.

and largest stock of mens' youth’s and chil
