THE CATTLE TRUST. Mow the Chicago Combine Controlled the Beef Interests. The Senate committeo on trusis met in St. Louis yesterday to investigate the beef and cattle trust. J.T. Beattie. of El Paso, Tex., testified that the ruinous rates c arged by the Southern Pacific Railroad company had forced him to ship his cattle to Mexico for a market. Browster Vameron testified that ho was raising cattle on the open range of Arizona. He con- sidered that Chiengo controlled the markets of the country. When cattle went into the Chi- cago market drovers had the privilege of look- ing through a hole in the fence at them. Butchers had not free chance to buy. Many cattle-raisers were on the verge of bankruptcy. Al number of producers could have got out, but they held on in the vain hope that the Chicago combine would not continue to con- trol prices. C.'C. Slaughter, of Dallas, Texas, stock raiser and banker, was next called. He had been to Chicago and Kausas City with cattle. It was his opinion that there was a very pow- erful combine at Chicago. St. Louis was atone time the market where he disposed of cattle. He sold there in 1532 as high as 27 per 100 pounds. Witness thought it strange when he wok cattle from Kansas City to Chicago that he should be offered the same figure at the latter place az he had beer offered at the former. | Another thing that struck him es being pecu- | liar was that the representatives of the same firm at Chicago as the one he had seen at Kan- sas City would be the only buyer who would look at his eattl The offer made him at Kan- sas City was known in Chic as were the number of cattle coming o1 heads were the same in both ¢ and usually Swift's or Armour’s.

THE HieRaRD- BREACH OF PROMISE CASE TURNING OUT TO BE VERY TAME. People at Beaver, Pa.. are beginning to feel imposed upon in consequence of the lack of sensational developments in the Hibbard-Fry $100,000 breach of promise suit. No torrid love letters have been put in evidence, and no one but the widow and her daughter among the witnesses seems to have noticed that Mr. Fry was ardent in bis love-making. Longing looks and high-pressure intensity are totally lacking, and never was there such a beggarly arPay of love letters. At the time Mra. Hib- bard declares their affair was at the tropical heat Mr. Fry wrote to her as “Mra. Hibbard.” ‘There is no “Dear El to be discovered any- where on any paper.

Its Great Value as an Index of Char- acter. Frem the London Standard. The great justification of the double chin rests, of course, on its unrivaled value asanin- dex of character—and snch a character! It is ‘really nature's patent of nobility. This was long ago discerned by the great master of phy- siogomy. It is not difficult to divine what Lava- ter thought of a double chin, He carefully points out that man differs from the animals chiefly by his chin, laying it down as an axiom that the chin is the distinctive characteristic of humanity ;consequently, double-chinned people | are doubly differentiated from the beasts that | perish, which is greatly to their credit, He | expressly takes for his model of “the thinker, | full of sagacity and penetration,” a man with a fleshy donble chin. coupled with a nose ronnd- jedat the end. The portrait he gives is even | better than the letterpress, as the gentleman |. | is liramed with at least five chins, eo that his | lower jaw is a vista of magnificent distances, | like Washington. This happy physiog- uomy of the dorble chin, coupled wit! | the rounded nose, characterizes, he tells us, | the mind which ean rise to Heights, and which | follows its designs with reflecting firmness, un- alloyed by obstinacy. Let, therefore, those | with double chins rejoice, whether they pos- sess rounded noses or not. and quote Lavater in gratitude. He gives again another example | of the double m he . and the face so endowed, ys enthusiastically, is Reason’s own He qnite revels in this feature. He nple of Raphael with a beauti- double chin, and in criticising it lges that the profile is wanting in | truth, harmony, and gra but then, asks he, y takes captive our sym- s the illusion? Merely in the i, as the chin is a double ms er is no longer a mystery. He poi mphantly to Cicero’s magnificent dou- ble chin, and in ‘a burst of eloquence says of Wren’s that, if you can find a man with (among other things) such a chin as that, without being gifted with some extraordinary talent, he re nounces forever the science of physiognomy. | Whet Lavater has thus laid down, experience amply corroborates. The —double-chinned, therefore. should hold their heads up higher, | in the consciousness of modest merit, and give free play and just prominence to their certifi- cates of character. It is, as hinted above, rather difficult at present to tell who is en- dowed and who is not. Portrait-painters are craven enough to dissimulate a double chin; hey leave it to the caricaturists, who seem to k it great fun for a popular statesman or to have two chins, whereas those appen- lages are the secret of their success. Some observant — writers e + a glimpse of the truth; Mr. Wilkie for instance.

Thus he leaves it open to all parties, single-chinned or double. to quote him as an instance of anything they like, which, after ail, is the great use which Shake- speare has always been put to. tee — Parneilites Complain of the Liberals. THEY SAY THE LATTER AKE NOT OPPOSING THE | more distasteful to Powder! | upon the Federation of De POWDERLY’S ENEMIES ACTIVE. They at Last Succeed in Making Them- selves Felt in the Assembly. An unread communication from Philadelphia to the general assembly of the knights of labor regarding Barry's charge that district assem- bly 74, of East Saginaw, Mich., had been dissolved to defeat him, caused the introduc- tion and adoption of @ motion at Indianapolis, to investigate the methods of the general offi- cers. In the debate that ensued over the method to be pursued in appointing the com- mittee more opposition to Powderly was*hown than has appeared on the floor of the general assembly at any time since the convention was called to order. The denial of Barry's charge of impropriety in dissolving district assembly 74, of East Saginaw, Mich., was made by ex- | Secretary Litchman, on whom that charge ‘re- flected, “Mr. Litchman secured a formal denial | | from the Philadelphia office, and with this he took the floor in his own defense. He claimed | that there were but four locels jn the district when he took away its charter, while five is the minimum allowed for such organizations. Immediately Delegate Crowell, who isaclerk in the head oitice at Philadelphia, stated that he had been ordered to demand the return of the charter of the said district, and that there appeared to be but four local assemblies, as had been stated by Mr. Litchman. However, upon investigation, he discovered that there were actually seven, and he added: “I called the attention of the head clerk (Mr. Rowland) to this fact, but he gave it no heed.” Mr. Litchman at onee asked, “If my head clerk gave itno attention, why did you not come to me with the facts?” “Because,” replied Mr. Crowell, “clerks in the general office are not permitted to approach general ofiicers at all, and even head clerks are certain hours.” This disclosure was followed by others even "s friends. Cro ell finally moved the appointment of a com- mittee of three to proceed at once to Philadel- phia to investigate the charges made. W. T. Lewis, of Pittsburg, master workman of the Miners’ assembly, and chief opponent in the convention of Mr. Powderly, demanded the immediate appointment of the committee, and thata telegraphic order to take charge of all to some reputable Philadelphia lawyer. His tion to appoint the conmittee was carried. Asasubstitute for the many snggested amend- ments, it was moved that the incoming general executive board take charge of the mati This brought the matter down toa question whether Powderly and his friends or his op- ponents should appoint the committee, and the motion was lost i; a vote of 50 to 58, All the delegates (146) were not present, and so close a vote might not be had on any other occasion.

On motion of Mr. Parnell the debate ad- ladstone leaves London on Saturday r Hawarden. He will notreturn to London during the present session of parliament. | The Parnellites are discontented with the manner in which the debate on the Ashbourne extension bill is condneted. They declare the billisnot fought with sufficient spirit and tenacity. and that the attitude of the liberal leaders is wanting in hostility. Mr. Parnell, re- sponding to the desires of his party, has decided to fight every stage of the bill. see Eight Babies in a Row. WHAT ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR CHRISTMAS CARD WILL REAR THIS SEASON. From the N: Mail and Express, Christmas cards this year will be prettier than ever. The high-art tendency of a few years ago is less noticeable in the designs now. There is more of an attempt to please the masses and the younger generation by deli- cately-tinted floral picees and by figure designs in which childhood plays a prominent part. At the beadqnarters of one of the largest manufacturers in this city the new cards are noticeable for their simple effective designs and artistic coloring. The flower cards made are of nearly every blossom that is known, but all are arranged tasteful Among the animal designs frogs and cats are employgd to produce many humorous scen Three foxes astride of a log which is sliding down a snow-clad hill illustrates an original toboggan. A hare sitting on a stump in the foreground of another design and blowing a trumpet heralds the birth of the new year, while a raven in the background weeps for the year that is gone. Frog@have a bout with box- ing gloves in one design, and in another they form a street parade with horns and drums and a drum major marching in front. Dancing dogs, musical cats, and mice at school appear in other designs. One of the prettiest cards, and one that will undoubtedly prove very popular, is a group of eight babies sitting ina row. Each child is a study, and the group forms a very attractive design. At the bottom of the card ‘the follow- ing lines appear: “We can’t talk very plein, you know, We eicht youngsters ail in 4 row. But one tl we know how to say, “We hope you will huve a jolly day!” Another childhood scene represents a cluster of babies at the foot of a Christmas tree, infant# have just received gifts of toys and their attitudes indicate their joy The mounts this year differ considerably from those of form . Silk and satin are used only to a limited extent. The metalline have gone ont. In their place is a novelty called the art tile. The tile is made to serve asa frame for the card. Each tile is designed especially for the card that it holds. The work on them is done by hand, They show the flow of colors and rich glaze peculiar to richly-colored plastic tiles, and make handsome mantel ornaments, Hand-decorated antique paper mounts in fancy shapes will be among the popular styles. mount has tasty water color and bronze work appropriate to the card which it holds, Many of these mounts are fastened with fancy floss and intended to hang on the wall. ‘There is an endless variety of chea dars in fanciful desi » and many lal rate and expensive calendars on which the touch of the artist is visible. Among the new art books is one entitled, “Old Stories in New Attire.” It contains eight brilliant costume pictures from “Mother Goose.” with the rhymes in color.
