Tux Lavies or Adwmnica | Are recognized the wor'd over aathe best housewives | om the giode. and woe be to the husband who disputes her supremacy in household affairs. He is soon made to feel the iron bam! of fate as he attempts to tace charge of the domestic affairs himself His meslsdo not taste right; bis coffee is poor, his bread like dough his cakes haif done. his meats burned to erisp. his linen without that snow-white gloss that good soap al- | wayseives it The man of the house becomes gloomy | aud morose, and the pleasant house he once bad is changed four the worse. At last he sees his mistake, | and the thrifty wile again taces charge, and uses care | that be gets the best, and the best uniy, and the home is ouee more happy. Snow.white linen again adorns the house, and the secret is given to the husband. French Villa Soap bas worked tbe change, and not only that, but the bappy wife has been made happier still by receiving as a reward one of the handsome prizes which are distributed among the users of the vow famous French Villa How the manuf turers can afford to give away gratuitously such hand- some and costly presents with this excellent re solvent, which Is worts more money than is pald for it, Is beyond her comprehension. ‘the secret is soon told. The presents giveo away in their next grand distribution in Uetuber next are worth over $125,000. Of course, ia giving away this Jarge amount of mone. in presents they have a two- fold object in view. Kvowing that It was neces sary to have the many excellent qualitfes of Preach Villa brought to the atteation of the pudife, they de- cided to spend a larze amount of money tn introducing it, trusting that the large futures ies of the soap will, when it becomes better known, amply repay them. It would require a large sum of money to properly intro- duce lt, und in order to arcomplish the same purpose in a novei way they decided to give their patrons the benefit of the money whieh would otherwise be spent n advertising.aud devised this method of having thelr patrons and friends herald {ts qualities, thus accom- plishing @ two-fold purpose—in making Known its | good qualities aud rewardin those who use it No matter what inducements are offered for the im troduction of an articie, if ic 1s not up to, orabove the | standard, its new-made friends drop off and become its enemies, This is not so with French Villa, | Itsquullty ts not detertorated to cover the expensesof the grand distribations, but Itis of the same quality as it will be when they discontinue the giving of pres- ents to lig cou-umers. ‘The idea in placing Freneh Villa in the marke: swith a view of making {t the Dest and cheapest soap offered, trusting that by its | good quality a lasting re uration will be made, which | wilt result in a large and well-paying business, A glance at the list of handsome and valuable pres- ents will convince you that you can easily have th value of your mouey returned to you tn the way of & present. the soup prue ically costing you nothing. Ever tho e who use but a small amount bave a chance w receive something handsome, asthe pres ents are distributed without favor to those holding the lurzest amount of wrappers, the distribution not being in any way a case of chauce.

Special Dispatch to Tam EVENTXOSTAR. CoLtmsvs, Ouro, Feb. 20,—The testimony before the Payne investigating committee yesterday of Mr, Fierce was. very un- satisfactory to the committee. “The exami- nation was searching, and Mr. Fieree admitted that he had borrowed money of Mr, Pendleton before the October election. but claimed that he had repaid it. Heemphatically for Mr. Pendleton. The most damaging testimony that came out yesterday was that of Mr. Hanna, who had s room in Brown Broa’ building on north 3d street. Messrs. Roach and Bisone; , of the Cleveland delegation, had rooms in the same building, and Mr, Hanna opened the room for them when they returned from the caucus. Both of these members were much Under the influence of liquor and did not arrive at their room until nearly 4 o’elock in the morning, Mr, Hanna remained in the room for some time, The gentlemen emptied their pocket and the money was placed in a and the work of dividing it commenced, There was no delicacy in the matter, both stating. that they had just come from the caucus. A large aum was divided, and finally there was s $50 bill, an odd one, which both claimed and over the ion of whieh Mooney and Roach nearly came to blows. Hanna interfered and prevented o fight. The testimony of Hanna was corrobo- rated by Mr. Brown, he Dalton contempt case is now being heard in the common pleas court. 7” ——_. CONKLING CALLS FOR MOLONEY. But William Answers Not—No Sensa- the Sharp estigation To- day. New York, Feb. 20.—The report that two of the aldermen of 1884 who voted for the grant- Sngof the Broadway railroad franchise had contessed the whole plot by which the Broad way Surface railroad company had secured the consent of the common council brought out an Snusuuily large attendance at the continuation of the heariug before the senate committee to- Three of the aldermen, Messrs. Cleary, MeWade and Farley, were present, Alderman Fullgraff was also'there. When Chairman Low called the committee to order Mr. Con ling called Henry W. Minster, a deputy of the sergeantatarms, to the committee as the first witness, He testified as to the serving of sub- peenas on several parties, The witness sald that he spent several days at the Laurel house, Lakewood, N.J., during the past two week: ‘While there man Delacey. Wm. Moloney’s name ap) on the register of the notel on January 29 February 5. While standing upon the platiort Of the station at Lakewood he saw a gentleman pbout, fllty years of age, of slender build, with long side Whiskers, talking with Alderman Delacey. They were pacing up and down the walk while waiting for the train. The witness was pacing up and down too, At one time he heard, as he pussed the couple, Delacey say to his companion: “If no one squeals on us people ground City hall.” The remainder of the sen- tence was lost. The last visit to Lukewood made by the witness was on February 18. John ‘Keenan was still there. When Mr. Minster had retired from the stand Mr. Conkling, ratsing Lis voice, called out: is Win. Moloney within the reach of my voice?" A dead silence followed the question; no one deigned to answer. Then, turning to Mr, Rich- ard H. Newcombe, who represents many of the uldermen betore the cominitiee, he said: “Mr. Newcombe, you told us at the lust session of this committee that you would be able to pro- duce Wm. Moloney here to-day. He is not here and has not been here. We want him here very mueh and have wanted him every day since we 0 this investigation. We have tried to find him but have noi been able to do so.”” be. § expected that Mr. Moloney would be here * replied Mr. Newcom quietly. “I do not’ know why he is detained. “We have been unable to serve with subpo- nas @ number of the aldermen, Now, as you @ppear here for a number of them I wish you would prepare a list of those present in order that we may know who are present, Several of them I know have been in attendance every day since we began.” Samuel C. Merwin, cashier of the Pacific bank, produced the big ledger in which are re- comted the deulings of the Broadway und ‘7th avenue railroad company. From this he gave the various deposits made aud checks drawn by the company. Nothing of marked impurt- ace wus brought out by these figures, Edwurd M. Knox was the next witness. Mr Conkling conducted the examination. “Did you take any mea_ures to secure an in- Junction against the Broadway railroad?” “Yes, sir, I did.” “How did you come to bye | this suit?” “I was opposed to the building of a railroad. on Broadway, believing that such a railroad should not be built. I received u letier from.E. Chittenden asking me to euil at his office. This is the ietter.” ‘Mr. Knox read the letter, in which the writer seid It would be for nis pécuniary interest to ) “I did call upon the gentleman, who stated that there were a number of capitalists who were opposed to giving away the Broadway franchise. They wanted me to head a suit against" Mr,” Sharp's company. — The injunction ‘was secured, but was al- terwards dissolved. The’ names. given of the gentlemen interested in the opposition to fhe road, were F. B. Thurber, W. C. Whitney Lawson N. Fuller ‘and several others. I paid Mr. Chittenden $500 tor his services aud huve uot seen him since until to-day, when I see him bere tn Mr. Sharp’s Ce Mr. Chittenden objected to some of the an- swers made by Mr. Knox and at Mr. Conkling's suggestion volunteered to appear before the committee and make certain statements. —— @ Boycott Ht. Lents Street Railways. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR TO TRY ANOTHER PL&S TO GAIN THEIR ENDS, Sr. Louis, Feb. 20.—The Knights of Labor, of this city, are preparing for another move upon the street car companies, with the object of ob- ‘aluing better pay and shorter working bours for the employesot the lines, The weapon they will use this flme will be the boycott, and it is expecied that by its use they will be’ more suc- cex-ful ip obtaining the concessions they desire from the street railway companies than they were last October, when they relied upon a saw John Keenan and Alder. ared n en- eral strike to accomplish their ends, It bas been learned from M. W. Sullivan, master workman of District Assembly No. 17, which includes the St. Louis Knights of Labor'todges, that this plan of action had been greed upon, an that it would be put Into operation very. soon, with all the knights of St. Louis enlisted in it execution. One rund is to be Loycotted at atime and brought to terms if the boycott Is successful, The executive committee ot the knights bas not decided when the buycott 1s to begin, but it fsauid the time will be wet about the middle of Murch, and that the 5th street Une of the St Louis’ railway will be the first boycotted.

Very strong arguments were presented upon the constitutional and equitable besring Of the case and the committee listened with marked attention, ~ ‘MES. MINOR'’S ADDRESS. Mra. Minor said that they were there to ask ; that the intention of the founders of the gov- ernment be carried Fights of women to have a volee in matters pery taining to thelr own government were ac- Knowledged by the fousders of the govern- ment, and that women voted for the first three Presidents of the United States. She held that the right of property carried with it the right to vote, but that the right she claimed to be the strongest was that of the working women, "bo had to earn their living, whether they did or id not hold property. : A TALK BY MES, MERRIWETHER, Mre, Merriwether said that while Miss An- thony had been prosecuted for voting and Mrs, Minor had been prevented from exercising that privilege when she had made the attempt, she bad voted in Tennessee, and her vote had been counted. She asked the committee to look at the question from a business standpoint, Had they the right to force upon the women whomsoever they pleased to be agents for thelr property? She called attention to the school scandals in St, Louis, where she had children, She pictured drunken and disreputable school teachera, tpheld by equally drunken and dis- Teputable school trustees, and told the com- Mittee how mothers who ‘had tried to defend their children irom this outrage had been voted down, because the uccused were the voters in the ease and the accusers were obliged to be dumb. It was wicked, she thougnt, for the legislators, the intelligent men of the country, to permit this, OTHER SPEECHES. Mrs, Eastman argued that the women hada right under the constitution to vote. She held that “We, the people,” meant the people and not @ part of the people, and called attention to the fundamental principle of the government that governments ‘are by the consent of the governed. Mrs. Nelson said she wanted to know what were her duties tothe government, that she might perform them, and she wanted to know whut the obligations of the government were to her. She said she was born in Connecticu raised in Minnesota, paid taxes in lowa an taught school in the south, She had no bus- band to vote for Ler, because that husband had glen up bis ie In detense of his country. She ad given all the country could demand of her then. She was now engaged in educating American citizens, Ifshe could impart to them the knowledge that mude them intelligent peel kaa could she not be an intelligent voter ersel Sirs, Bennett, the daughter of Cassius Clay, of Kentucky, delivered quite a brilliant ad- reas, Speaking of the ex-slaves, the Chinese and Mexican ons. Who could vole upon law to govern civilized women and children, she said: “Do you invite these strangers to govern your wives and daughters and place it out of your power to protect them?” ‘MES. GOUGAR'S REMARKS. ‘Mrs. Gougar made the most striking address Of the occasion, She asked the committee to allow the question to goto the state legisla- tures, They need not commit themselves to the principle. She was not tor suffrage, but for the salvatiun of society and of the country, The government was ruled by the cities, and the ci ies were ruled by the slums. She wanted to put tbe intelligent woman's vote as an offset for Ubis Ignorance and crime. Woman did not want suffrage; suffrage needed woman, Woman's vote would be the reserve force upon which the intelligent men of the country would have to cali to preserve them irom degradation and crime. She pointed out the election troubles in Chicago and in Uhio to show that for the want of more intelligent voters the government was being ran by the criminul classes at these olec- Uons. “You are kind, you are gallant, We ask you to be just.’ e+ Major Merrill’s Nomination Withdrawn SOUTHERN SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES AGAINST HIM. Itis stated that the withdrawal of the nom- ination of Major Merrill, 7th cavalry, for pro- motion to be lieutenant colonel, was the result of the opposition of Senators from South Caro- lina and Louisiana and Representative Bianch- ard, of Louisiana, on account of his activity during reconstruction and kulklux times. Major Merrill was at the head of the list of majors, but had been found fucapacitated for uciive dut; by a retiring board, although not yet retired. ‘he only iniormation vouchsafed at the War department regurding the withdrawal of his nomination is that the President holds that if he 4s incapacitated for the duties of a major he is unfit to perform those of a lieutenant colo- nel. Although there are numerous instances of promotion while awaiting retirement, it is understood that it is the Intention of the Presi- dent to establish a precedent. which will make such cases impossible in the future, ————+er_____—_ International Copyright.

Bui careful analysis of the figures making up this sum shows the re- verse to be true in either case, The exhibit in- cludes. it appears, a lurge amount of disputed tazesupon chureh, cemetery, and other property claimed to beexempt from taxation, Deductng this the amount found due wouid be reduced to about $600,000. The aggregate amount of taxes levied during the years named was not fur from $20,000,000, of which only three per cent thus appear to be outstanding, "It, by ceaseless vigil- ance, the collector has thus succeeded in gather- jug ih ninety-seven cents of every dollar levied, he has certainly made a good record, and our ople cannot fail to be gratified to find that so Ride relatively remains duv—especially when they so well know how very heavy hus been the burden of taxatio In 1873,'74 and "75, the valuation was cruelly excessive, aud the tax-rate still more so, ranging from $1.70 to $3 on the hundred dollars.

Aud they further say: “It is estimated that more than two-fifths of the entire real estate belonging to citizens is now Nov. 21, 1877) held by the District of Golum- {in Gadér purchases at tax sules.”” Of tho amount now re] to be outstanding, it will be observed that $74,095.61 ure tor the your 1875, when the tax rate was three dollars hundred—just double what it is at present under a reduced valuation—and not atew found itimpossible to meet the demands made upon them at the time, nor have Leah gin) avie w do so since, Some just measure of relief sbould thereiore be devised for them, and itis mat- ter of satisfaction to see that Senator Wilson, of Towa, has introduced a bill in the Senate for irpose. The bill is as tollows: “Bed 4c., That the rate of interest to be collected op all general taxes in arrears on the first day of July, 1584, and on all svecial assessinents due the District of Columbia, shail be six per oentum per annum, in lieu of the Pate and penalties now fixed by" law: ‘That this act shall only apply to taxes and as: sesaments paid within twelve months from tne sproval of this act.” —— Pablie and Private Bequests, WILLS FILED YESTE2DAY—CHARITIES REMEM- BERED BY THE LATE THOMAS BAYNE, ‘The will of the late Thomas Bayne with two codiclls was yesterday admitied to probate.
