For a week past Dan Rice, the veteran show- man and clown, has been staying with his family here. The papers of towns in which Nathan's circus bas been performing say he was Summartly discharged by Nathan for habitual drankeaness, but the colonel denies this. On Monday he visited ‘Squire Ryman, a sick justice, Whose death was hourly expected. Dropping tpon his knees the old clown said, “Let us yy," and he forthwith poured out a most pa- Tretic invocation that moved the family and fends to tears. Ministers and deacons had ed at that bedside before him, but none the melting tenderness and touching hos of the clown’s supplication. Some of | egal heard it and sobbed like children fe him In the ring but a few days ago and had a brought to their eyes from excessive ughter over the gibes of this “fellow of tnfl- hite jest.” The ‘Squire is reported better and out of danger. ————— Catholic Archbi ‘THE SUBJECT OF EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY TO BE CONSIDERED—WHO WILL SUCCEED ARCH- BIsuoP WOOD. Bishop O'Farrell, of New York, confirms the previous report that a number of American archbishops nave been summoned to Rome for ®& consultation on the subject of education in this country. Upon their return a plenary coun- il will be held to take action in the matter. Cardinal McCloskey not being able to attend on account of his advanced age, will be represented by Archbishop Corrigan, his coadjutor.

The arrest of Bill Davis, of this city, followed by that of his alleged wife, tor complicity in a burglary at the office of a lumber and coal com- Pany at Derby on Tuesday night, Is Ieading to curious developments. The woman Is scarcely 17 years old, attractive In looks, bright and ahrewd. The police are in possession of evi- Gence that she ted Davis in his schemes for the rain of young girls, she herself having first been one of his victims. A girl named Mulca- hey, ot this city, was led away by him and was with him in Derby before he undertook the bur- lary. The efforts of her parents to discover © whereabouts led to Davis’ capture. After his return here his young wite 1s belleved to have been in the habit of attending him on his expeditions, dressed in male attire. The fact that there were small tracks like a woman’s about the Bristol post office, which was robbed of $800 on Monday night last, has led to the be- lief that Davis and wife are the guilty parties. The police believe they have strack a clue to the recent numerous crimes in this part of the state in the arrest of this man of over 50 years and the girl of 17. ———___.9. _ West Virginia’s Timber Resource. According to the reports of the census bureau the forests of West Virginia consist chietly ot broad-leaved trees, the narrow-leaved trees (white pine and spruce) being confined chiefly to the higher mountains. The white pine ¢overs about 310 square miles, which are est!- Mated to contain 990,000,000 feet of merchant- able lumber. The broad-leaved forests consist in the main of white and chestnut oaks, black walnut (which is widespread, but most abun- dant in the southwest), yellow poplar and cherry (which is abundant in Greenbrier, Nicholas and Webster counties, and in the country adjoining them). The lumber product of the state during the census" year was valued st $2,431,857. Along the Ohio and its principal branches, especially in the northwestern part of the state, all the valuable timber has been cut. ———__§_-e-______ ‘The Salvation Army Breach of Promige Case. ‘who accused Otto Mott, the army's olor bearer, of a breach of promise of marriage, at Syracuse, N.

L’Hloste Across the Eng- sh Channel. A correspondent of the London Telegraph sends the following from Brussels: “M. L’Hoste, a young man of engaging man- ners, I found to-day looking very pale and fatigued trom the perils to which he had so recently been exposed. He is suffering most from giddiness, but hopes that a day's rest will set him up again. As soon as his health shall be quite restored, he assured me with much earnestness that he will make another attempt to cross the channel, ahd expressed himself confident of ultimate success. M. L'Hoste said that after various preliminary pe last week,in company with his friend, M. Eloy, he deter- mined to make the attempt to reach England on Friday evening, having a predilection for night trips. When the time for starting ap- proached, however, his companion thought the weather looked too threatening for aerial navi- gation, and energetically endeavored to dls- suade him from his pur , bat without suc- cess, Even Eloy's ret to encourage his rashness by accompanying him had no effect upon his obstinate resolution to make the trip. Accordingly at midnight on Friday the balloon Pilastre de Rosier cast off and rapidly ascended. Almost immediately the weatber, which had been hazy all the evening, set in very thick, the result being that L’Hoste passed the night in the midst of a fog, which not only chilled him to the marrow, but prevented him from obtaining the least idea whither he was drifting or even if he were moving at all. However, the weather cleared on Saturday morning, when, to his no small disgust, he found himself out at sea in the neighborhood of Cape Grisnez. He at once threw out ballast, in order, if possible, to find a favorable current, and soop rose toa height of 2,000 metres, at which altitude be suffered severely, his face being half roasted by the heat of the sun, while his feet were numbed and al- most frozen. Two hours later he found himself over a town of some sort, and drawing the valve line descended rapidly, and with the assistance of pai -by cast anchor on the esplanade at Dunkirk. Being determined to persevere, he cally took breakfast in his car, surrounded by aping crowd, and afterwards increased his | store of ballast.’ Noticing a favorable change in the wind, he ungrappled and rose gradually to a height of 5,000 metres. He must have traveled quickly, for he soon found himself over the sea, off the coast of Bel- gium. Far up among the clouds he found a ter— rible difference In the weather, for, almost with- | out warning, he sailed into a vioient storm wave. Here the beating of the rain, the heavy gusts of wind and the loud reverberations of the thunder put the stability of the balloon to a fearful and unforeseen test. The whole fabric was conyulsed with continuous vibrations and tossed and pitched ina manner which made it difficult for the giddy and benumbed aeronaut to keep his hold on the car. However, with some difficult: he managed to open the valve and descended at noon on Saturday to within, as far as he could calculate, 800 metresof the séa. Unfortunately, in the lower strata there prevalled a thick fog, which made it Impossible for him to ascertain his exact whereabouts. He made another ascent in hopes of finding the elementsmore propitious, but the storm was still raging up in the clouds, and he therefore considered it prudent to keep nearer the sea. Asthe afternoon wore on he no- ticed with alarm that the gas in his balloon was cecteany decreasing, and he began to realize is peril. At 4 o'clock the ropes dangling from the car touched the sea, and he knew that the critical time had come. The whole of his ballast, of which the car could hold but a comparatively limited supply. had by this time become com- pletely exhausted. He at once threw out one after another, instruments, cases and indeed every movable article in the car. But the bal- loon responded languidly, and in a very few minutes the car itself touched water, and the sea broke furiously almost every minute clean over the car, drenching its unhappy occupant to the skin. The ropes and fines, too, were dashed about in a bewildering manner, and thebe com- bined horrors had almost made M. L’Hoste despair, when he caught sight of the sails of a fishing lugger, which turned out to be the Noemi. The captain of the Noemt aimost simultaneously caught sight of the balloon, which he for some time took to be a ship on fire, and manceuvered round and round accordingly. When, however, he ascertained what the praure craft really was, he at once launched a boat and with immense difficulty rescued the aeronant from a fate which, but for his timely appearance, would not long have been delayed. L’Hoste found he ad been rescued within ten miles of the English coast. Ho and the balloon, which had burst, were taken aboard the Noemi and landed at Ant- werp shortly after midnight. L'Hoste is full of gratitude to the captain of the Noemi. ——___§_-e-_____ ACTORS ON THE BRINY. Footlight Heroes and Heroines That Own Yachts. From the New York Journal. Messrs. Mestayer and Brown, of the Pullman Palace Car Tourist Company, have chartered the schooner yacht “Marie,” and will pass their vacation aboard on a cruise eastward as far as Mount Desert Island. Several professionals are yacht owners. There are for instance Lester Wallack, Charles Stevenson, William Crane, Mary Anderson and Boucicault; the latter, how- ever, has sold out. The actors’ “colony” at Long Branch was started by Chanfrau and Henderson going there, and at Larchmont by Harkins going there, and who knows but that in time an actors’ yacht club will be formed?” ——$_-e-____ About Cigarette Smoking. Sir Henry Thompson, the eminent physician, writes that the greatest harm of cizarctte- smoking arises from inhaling the smoke di- rectly into the lungs, where it comes into im- mediate contact with the circulation; and pro- duces an effect felt by a sensitive person to the tips of the fingers. He recommends the use of acigarette-holder, or mouth-piece, which opens transversely inthe middle, disclosing a small cavity filled with cotton-wool. ‘This wool, after six cigarettes have been smoked, becomes “‘sat- urated with a brown fluid like treacle, of pow- erfully offensive odor, and disagreeable beyond belief. The wool then requires to be changed, and in this manner the evil of smoking is very greatly diminished,” becoming, ingeed, less than in any other form of tobacco-sinok ing. ———_—_--«____ bs Where She Drew the Line.

How “Ply Bill,” a Chicage Thief, Secured a Pot of Money. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times from Glen City, Penn., says: “Elmer Snyder ts ‘& wealthy farmer who lives a short distance out- side of this village. He la a widower, and lives alone with his servants in a fine mansion close to the highway. He is a prominent figure in political and social circles, and is deacon in the local Methodist church. About five years ago his wife died. The cause of her death was at- tributed to the absence of her only child, who ran away from home about 15 years ago on account of some trifling troubles with his folks. The farmer is one of the largest land-owners in the district, and it was always believed that he kept a large sum of money in the house. About two weeks ago he presented a flashily dressed, handsome young man to his friends and neighbors as his long- lost son. Simultaneously with the arrival of the young man ugly rumors began to be about his past life in Chicago and other cities in the west. It was generally known that young Snyder had led a fast life, and for a time the country people fought shy of him; but the en- gaging manners and plausible talk of the youn; inan made him many friends, and the ol farmer soon became proud of his handsome boy. In a few days another rumor started to the effect that he.was not Snyder's son, but another per- son who was trying pee upon the farm Thisstory soon gained lence from the fact t! when questioned about his early farm life the young man ways at fault. Whether these rumors reached the ears of the old farmer or not is unknown. The young man grew in the old man’s favor and accompanied ev here. Last Wednesday a handsome and el tly dressed woman unaccompanied drove up to the yillage inn and secured accommodations for a few days, saying she was from itnsien ees and desired a quiet room. While walking the street 20 she met the lately returned tarmer’s son. They suddenly became intimate, and until Thursday night he was constantly in her society. He in- troduced her to a few young ladies as Mrs. Dick- erson, of Philadelphia, and sald she was the wife of a friend of his. On Friday morning the servants in the Snyder household were surprised at the non-appearance of Mr. Snyder at break- fast, and as he was an habitual early riser the fact caused much comment. After waiting un- til 10 o'clock they determined to call him. Going to his room they found the door locked, another unusual fact, They rerpes loudly, and receiving no answer determined to break open the door. First they tried to find young Sny- der, but could find no trace of him. Bursting open the door, they found the old man lying at full length upon the floor bound and gagged. The ropes that bound him were wrapped around his arms and legs with a double twist, while the gag was tightly wedged into hig mouth. Cutting the cords and lifting him to his feet, they administered restoratives, When he had sufficiently recovered the old man sald, That young man was not my son. I have been cruelly deceived and robbed.” pong toa safe which stood in the corner of jhe room. The safe had been opened and the Contents were scattered about the floor. The farmer went on to tell how he had sat up with his supposed son until 11 o'clock, and had then gone to bed. He was roughly awakened by hav- ing a gag forced into his mouth, and betore ho could help himself he was bound and gagged. In the partial darkness he saw two figures. After they had securely fastened him one of them went to the bureau and coolly lighted the lamp. As soon as the light was turned up the farmer recognized the tace of the young man whom he thought his son and the stylish woman who had stopped at the tavern. They took the safe key trom his pocket, robbed the safe, put- ting the money in @ valise which the woman carried. After they had taken everything the young man said: “Good bye, papa. I will pay your respects to your son when I get back to Chicago. He wants to hear from you.” The pair then left the room, locking the door behind them. The old man is completely broken down by theoccurrence. The police authorities were notified, and a search was made for the missing couple. Not the slightest trace could be found of them. This morning a detective from Chicago arrived in the village looking for two individuals whose de- scription tallies exactly with that of the farmer's bogus son and the flashily dressed woman who put up at the tavern. Upon visiting Mr. Snyder the detective saw that the young man was not his son, but an old Chicago thief and confidence man, and known among his associates in crime as “Fly Bill,” and who went under the alias of John Peters, Harry Rutledge, &c. The woman, he said, was a noted courtesan from Chicago, who is wanted there for a number of crimes. The loss to the farmer is nearly $8,500. The property consisted of $4,900 in greenbacks and the balance was in government bonds. The numbers of the bonds have been furnished to the authorities, and a large reward will be offered for the arrest of the thieves. A watch is being maintained at all of therallroad stations, but it is thought that the thievesare already out of the country. =~ ___s9¢___ Athletics in the Colleges. {n his report to the trustees of Princeton Col lege, President McCosh says: I am bound to state turther that within the last few years gym- nastic games have been carried on to an in- urious extent. The very circumstances that when I came to this college I introduced gym- nastics makes me now the more anxious they should be kept within due bounds. I am not aware that there has been any excess in physi- cal exercise, but there has been in the exciting gamés that Ste played. I calculate that some eight or ten students in every class of 100 loose very much of the benefit of thelr college life because their hearts are in the sports rather than their studies. 1 am sorry to be obliged to say that the enthusiasm of the students is ex- pended on these muscular feats rather than on intellectual exercises. The hero of his class is one who stands high, not In literature or science or philosophy, but in mere physicalagility. The larger portion of the ordinary news organ of the college is often given up to the report of games. I have asked the facuity to devise effective measures to avert these excesses. A committee has prepared a careful report onthe subject. 1 trust we will be sustained in our effort by parents and by the public press. In Princeton no student Is allowed to contend in any public game without the written permission of his parent or guardian. Butthere are parents who weakly give their consent to the importunities of their sons, and then complain that we have trained them in idleness. The public press, as awhole, are telling the colleges very platuly that they are going to excess in sports. Let them encourage those colleges that are seeking to lay restraints on the evil. Some colleges are refusing to join In the exertions we are making, not to stop’ sports, but to keep them within due bounds, These colleges may gain the cham- pionship in games, but let the public know that it is not tothelr credit or for the good of the students committed to their care by fathers and mothers. It may come to this that we have to refuse to allow our students to play with those eoileges which lay no restraint on the time devoted to games. A student here told his professor that he had come to college, not to study, but to (a aes ball. Wedo not wish our college to be viewed by young men as a place where this can be done. ——_—_-o-—_—_ A Macnerio Puysictan IN TROUBLE.—In Mil- waukee, Wis., Dr. Wm.

GARFR Lies toue ates oe F Quiet Life ana the Improvement im Her Appenzance~"iss Molly and the Boys. : i ‘From the New York Sun, " Mrs. Garfield has made her home in Cleve land, and sel-cted her-surroundings in so quiet and careful a manner that Gomparatively few of the late President's more intimate associates have any knowledge @fher plans and ofher« iy Ute. Her house is q plain brick structure, sit- uated on a small lot,in Prospect street. She paid $50,000 for it, and regards it more in the light of an investment than asa permanent home for herself and children. The aftections of the Garfield family are evidently centered in the cot- tage at Mentor, and there is an impression that thelr residence at any other place will be tempo- rary. The occupants of the city home at present are Mrs. Garfleld, the late President's mother ; Mrs. Larable, his stster, who is in failing health; Miss Molly Garfield, andthe younger boys, Irwin and Abram. The solemn-looking footman who ushers the visitor into the drawing-room ts th only ceremonious person to be found in the house. In consequence of Mrs. Garfield’s with- drawal from all rays the family usually dine alone. Grandmother Garfield seldom sits a din- ner through, and when the dessert is served she takes whatever she fancies in her hands and ad- Journs to the lil She is the one occupant of the house who is always visible. With her white hair and white cap, she can be seen at the window, in a little wicker rocking-chair, busied with her knitting or the daily papers. Miss Molly is now a charming girl of sixteen, ‘and to her has fallen a greater share of physical beauty than to any other member of the family. She fs pursuing her studies at a private schoo! and has few acquaintances outside of her schoo! associates. She is a bright scholar, and her mind is but little glven to society matters. Irwin 1s like the Ley his. mother’s family. His mind is keen, and he possessesa shrewd mother wit. Fora long time it was thought that the children were ignorant of the fact that they were ever the subjects of public comment, but one day, after Irwin had been corrected by his mother, he astonished her by repeating, word for word, an extract from an eastern paper in which he was made to appear as a very model of juvenile excellence. irwin and Abram, the youngest boy, together, form what might be called a team.’ They aro regular young athletes, and are the prime movers in the boyish sports of the neighbor- hood. Harry and James are in the transition state—neither men nor boys. Harry is some- what romantié, being fond of painting, poetry ‘nd vocal and instrumental music. He draws very cleverly, has a pleasant tenor voice, and is unusually skillful at the piano for one of hia age. While he is a creditable student, his mind is given up to such a variety of subjects at he does not perfect himself in ny one of! them. James is in all respecta Harry's opposite. He leads in his classes, and is much given to out- door games. Mrs. Garfield herself is a changed rome, an one who saw her two years ago, burdened wit! the responsibilities of a life she never cared for, would scarcely recognize her, 80 much !s shé improved. The deep lines that once marked her face are gone, and in théir stead is an expres- sion that belongs only to one who 1s well con- tent with the world.” ‘She manages her affairs mening forgetful 6f the past and unmindful of the future, and yef to one knowing her it is apparent that she has'a regard for both. When asked pre visitor who was paying her a visit of condolence, if she'was hot comforted by the fact that the entire ‘world mourned with her, she replied, “Yes, wlien I think about It.” To her friends Mrs. Garfield seldom speaks of her latehusband as dead, but makes use of the present tense in her allusions to him. Inher surroundings there is but little to denote the sad tragedy of his death, and all things pertain- ing to his sickness in' the way of pictures. busts, resolutions of respect, and the like are place by themeelyes in a memorial room, In her drawing room Is a fine portrait of Gen.
