From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat To Prof. W. H. Pickering of Harvard obser- vatory has been assigned the task of finding a suitable site for the big 40-inch equatorial telescope which the University of southern California _will put up as soon as constructed. Prof. Pickering came to California to observe the en and he leaves to-day for Los Angeles. Wil 3 Peak, near Los Angeles, has been suggested as the best for the telescope, which will be the larg in the world. Prof. Pickering will mount a 16-inch telescope with which to make observa- tions to determine whether the atmospheric conditions are favorable. These observations may extend over six months. As to the prac- ticability of making a perfect 40-inch lens, Prof. Pickering has no doubt about it. The successful casting and finishing of the 36-inch Lick lens make it certain that one of 40-inches can be completed as well. Prof. Pickering has another mission to perform in finding a suit- able location for a 24-inch lens telescope for astronomical photography. He can give no idea now of the probable site of this great in- strument. acesinintentestiipannas Stories of Daniel Drew. From the Detroit Journal. The seats in the smoking compartment of the Lansing car the other morning were all filled, and the air was odorous of cabbage leaves and odoriferous of burning Havana tobacco. Each smoker had some stories to tell, and from the lot a few samples are given below: “My first experience,” said W. R. Bates, “was in the New York legislature. I was a boy then, and I held aclerkship in the document- room. Those were the days when Daniel Drew was one of the princes of the state. One day Mr. Drew came into the room and said to me: * ‘Boy, can you write?” “T said I could. “ ‘Well. I want you to fill out these passes,’ and he threw down a handfnl of the paste- boards, which I filled out according to his list, while he slowly and laboriously put on the sig- nature that made them good. ‘hen the wor! was done I said: “ “Mr. Drew, you haven't got another of those Passes, have you?” “He looked keenly at me a moment and then said: “Young man, you're learning your lesson early. What's your name?” “I told him. “““My secretary,’ he continued, ‘will be here at noon and will bring you a ’ “I supposed that Mr. Drew would forget all about the matter, but he didn’t. I got the pass.” ‘TIT For Tat. “That reminds me of a little experience I had with Mr. Drew,” said Capt. Joe Nicholson. “I had a cargo consigned to him with orders not to deliver it without taking Mr. Drew's per- sonal receipt. When I went to get the paper he stepped up to sign it and I asked him to have some one identify him as I had never seen him before, and I did not know how big a » was. He readily complied and then I applied for 2500, as I had authority to do, to buy supplies, ‘Certainly, certainly,’ he said. ‘But first get some one to identify you.’ “In vain I ca gamer) that he had just — me a receipt as the captain of the vessel. That wouldn't do; and you can believe it took me Some time to find a person who knew both Daniel Drew and myself.” A ROLL OF FINE CUT. “Well, sir,” began Mr. Bates, promptly tak- ing up the thread of the discourse, “Mr. Drew came into the document room one day and asked me if there was a bright young lad about. Icalled asharp little chap. Mr. Drew pulled from his pocket a big roll of bills. He took a Piece of tissue paper, such as chewing tobacco was then rolled in. Then he wrapped the roll of bills neatly and twisted the ends until the pecksee looked exactly like a roll of fine-cut, le gave it to the boy, saying: ““You know Representative Blank? (The boy said he did). Well, you go up pretty near im, and just as the man who is now speaking starts to sit down, you give this fine-cut to Representative Blank and tell him Daniel Drew sent it.’ “The boy obeyed his instructions to the let- ter.

The result of yesterday's balloting in the Illinois ture was as follows: Senate—Culiom, 35; Hon. John M. Palmer (democrat), 13. House— Cullom, 80; Palmer, 68. The Oregon legislature voted for United States Senator rday. In the senate Mr. Dolph received 21 votes; Mr. Pennoyer, 9. In the house Mr. Dolph received 46 votes; Mr. Pennoyer, 9; scattering, 5. A special from A’ , Texas, says that the senate and house have re-elected Hon. Richard Coke United States Senator without opposition. The two houses meet in joint session to-day to cast the ballot. The election of United States Senator took lace at = yesterday, and Preston B. ‘lumb was chosen as his own successor. The one democratic senator and the four demo- cratic members of the house declined to vote, thus giving Senator Plumb the unanimous vote of both houses, the first time a Senator was ever given a unanimous vote in Kansas. The vote for United States Senator in the Tennessee legislature yesterday resulted in all the democrats of both houses voting for Sena- tor I. G. Harris and the republicans for Hon. L. C. Houk. The legislature will meet in joint session to-day to declare Harris’ election. — coe A New Socialistic Organization. An American branch of the socialistic labor party of Great Britain has been organized in Pittsburg. This is a direct result of the social- istic agitation of Prof. J. Hamilton Garside, who was in Pittsburg a few weeks ago. All the members of the new organization were anxious to have it understood that they were not to be confounded with the anarchists, in whose theo- ries and methods they do not believe. They believe in the perfect system of co-operative production. and demand that the workers ob tain the undivided product of their toil. They want the United States to obtain possession of the railroads, canals, telegraphs, telephones and all means of transportation. They demand compulsory education of all children under fourteen, the instruction to be in the hands of the United States; the abolition of the presi- dency, vice-presidency and Senate of the United States; an executive board to be established, whose members are to be elected by the House of Representatives. They demand universal and equal rights of suffrage, without regard to color, creed or sex, and uniform laws for all the states. —————-+o+ When Christians will Take the Earth. From the Missionary Review. We talk of missions. There is no trouble in reaching souls, but it takes a soul to do it. When we are in dead earnest—when all else is practically trampled under foot in our intense desire and determination to bring souls near to God—when self-indulgence gives away, and even self-love, before the burning, consuming flame of devotion to Christ and those for whom he died, we shall sweep the earth as with con- tion, ee Monstrum, Horrendum, Informe. From the Springfield Union. A “Sorry to hear of your smash-up—horse frightened by the cars?” “No, care? no!” "Dog, like enough.” “No dog neither—never knew him to be afraid of anything before, and never s’posed he could run.” “Queer—what was it?” “Why, he saw a woman coming along the sidewalk with one of these new-fangled um- brella handles.” v2 Fe A Half Century in Prison. WILLIAM PIERCE, THE PARRICIDE, TRANSFERRED TO AN INSANE ASYLUM. Auburn Special to New York Tribune. William Pierce, who was probably the oldest convict in the state in continuous penal servi- tude, was this morning discharged from the state asylum for insnae criminals, but was not given his freedom. He has lived nearly fifty years behind the prison bars in this city, for the murder of his father. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Auburn, at Malone, Franklin county, August 15, 1839, and from that time until this morning had not been outside the prison walls except when transferred to the asylum. Few of those who could tell the tale of the murder of Farmer Pierce by his boy are living to-day, and all remembrance of the deed has long since been effaced from the mur- derer’s memory. The pardon which Governor Hill signed has no significance to the demented | man, The recordsof the prison show that William Pierce was sentenced to Auburn for life on August 15, 1839, when he was sixteen years of age. This morning he was taken by Supervisor Grant to Willard asylum for the chronic in- sane. As he sat in the baggage-room, waiting for the train, he appeared like a giant. He is tall and erect, and weighs 340 pounds. His clean-shaven cheeks hang down almost to his shoulders. and his black eyes were hidden by overhanging brows. He is a mild-mannered man, submissive to the orders of the officers. Much of his past life is blank. He mani- fested much interest in the locomotive, which was the first he had seen. and the blank look on his shaggy facc seemed to give way to amazement. He is so fat t he walks with difficulty, and it was impossibl> for him to raise his foot high enongh to place it on the first step of the car. This was dons by the at- tendant, and with the aid of some cf thz by- standers the man was with difficulty placed in the car. An idea of the time Pierce has spent in prison is given by the thought that at the time he came to the prison the Auburn branch of the New ¥ork Central was not completed, and the journey from the scené of his crime in Franklin county was made in wagons, through a wild country. This was nine years before Auburn was incorporated and twenty years before the insane asylum was completed and ready for occupants. It was also several years before Secretary Sew- ard made his famous plea of insanity in behalf of the colored murderer of the Van Ness fam- ily, and the law came to recognize insanity as an excuse for crime. Had it been otherwise, Pierce would probably never have been sen- tenced to prison for life, but would have been laced in an asylum, for there is no doubt but jis crime was that of an insane boy, He served twenty years in the prison, and was transferred to the asylum on March 2, 1359, a few days after it was completed. Female Longevity. THE FINE ARRAY OF OLD WOMEN IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. From the Hartford Times. Longevity is certainly becoming more gen- eral than it was, even forty years ago. The harder conditions of life are somewhat amelio- rated. Here in Connecticut the newspapers have published in their regular announcements of deaths the departure within the last eighteen months of fifty or sixty persons whose ages ranged from ninety to one hundred years, and seven or eight who were upward of one hun- dred. Either Connecticut must be a singularly healthy old state, or the termof human life is everywhere throughout this part of the world increasing. In every year, we think, for the last half century, cases of the death of Con- necticut centenarians have been reported in the obituary announcements, but the propor- tion of these to the whole number of deaths is evidently Leman 2 The last three or four years have brought about the deaths of three or four Connecticut persons of one hundred and two to one hundred and six years; most of them, notably enough, old women. These old women are almost always physically small and slight. They seem to grow slighter as the y grow older after they get beyond ninety, and their cases we rise to the saying that such women don¥ die, they dry up and blow away. If a monotonous life, without travel or change of scene, is unfavorable to longevity— who one hundred and woman In the death to have been Eunice Cot- fifteen years, and think them the best cathartic and anti-bilious remedy known.

Another sensation turned up yesterday in the famous Rawson case in Chicago, where Mrs. Rawson is on trial for shooting Lawyer Whitney, her husband’s attorney. The sensa- tion was produced by the reading of the evi- dence before the grand jury on the strength of which Mrs. Rawson waa indicted, and, singu- larly enough, this damaging testimony was presented ty the defense, The testimony read was from the stenographic report of the pro- ceedings before the grand jury, and included the evidence given by L. H, Bisbee, a promi- nent lawyer, at one time attorney for Mr. Raw- son. Mr. Bisbee told the grand jury that he learned of a detective named Hogan who was said to have important information regardin: Mrs, Rawson, Bisbee found Hogan, who sai he had been in Mrs. Rawson's employ several months. She tried to hire him to put poison in Mr. Rawson's gin bottle, which he kept in his bed-room. Hogan said the proposition to commit murder was made to him by her at the Leland hotel while he was acting as a de- tective for her. He left her at once and_ went over to Mr. Bisbee’s employ. Hogan said that Mrs. Rawson told him that if he would not kill Rawson she would send for Lee, her former husband, who was in the west, and he would do it. Hogan found out that Lee got as far as Milwaukee on his way to Chicago, and that there he received a post-office money order from Chicago for $20 and got it cashed. Bisbee told of negotiations which he had with M. A. Driscoll, a friend of Mrs. Rawson's. “Driscoll approached me.” said Mr. Bisbee.‘“on the subject of a settlement. He first said he wanted £160,000, for that was what Mrs. Rawson valued her dower in her husbang’s estate at. ‘I went to Lake Villa to see Driscoll on a Friday, and offered him $35,000, He wanted $50.000, but he finally agreed upon #32.500, Driscoll said he had come from Mrs, Rawson and repre- sented her. He was sorry, he said, that the settlement could not be consummated before Monday, because there would likely be blood- shed in the meantime. I became ‘alarmed at this, and sent word at once to Mr. Rawson to be careful, Driscoll said Rawson was guarded daily, at the bank and at home. and the only place he was not protected was at church. The next Sunday he was shot at church,” The stenographer then read the testimony of Mrs. Hattie Hamilton, a woman who said she lived with Mrs. Rawson before she married the banker. Mrs. Hamilton said the defendant was profane and violent, and swore terribly be- cause Rawson did not pay her son Ralph, who was employed in his bank, a larger salary. “She said,” the Hamilton woman. testifi “that she would get even with the old Spooken- dyke. She would marry him, make his money fly and then get rid of him.” — soe Two Pieces of News. From the Philadelphia Record. Mrs. De Fashion (sneeringly)—“Here I've been wondering where you were for the past hour, and I find you've been up in the nursery. ‘That new nurse girlis rather pretty, isn’t she?” Mr. De F. (quietly)—“The nurse is out, but there are some very interesting children up there.” Boulanger’s Lively Campaign. HE KEEPS OPEN HOUSE TO ALL COMERS AND RE- CEIVES SCORES OF ARMY MEN. Boulanger is conducting his campaign in Paris with untiring energy. During the week he keeps his house open to all comers. the re- ception lasting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, On Sun- day and Monday the general was called upon bya constant stream of uniformed officers of | the territorial army, who had come to Paris to attend the military ball. The scene resembled an army demonstration in favor of the general. Royalists are still divided on the question of abstaining from voting. On the other hand, imperialists excel in activity for the general. The language of the press waxes warm. The Watiaiet coat that the dead father of Bou- langer was a usurer; that the executed mur- derer, Campi, was the general's brother, and that the man murdered, who was named Du- crot, was a business partner of Boulanger pere, The squabbles of the general’s domestic life, his debts, and intrigues are also detailed. The Boulangists respond by harping upon the charge that the government is employing the secret-service fund in the interests of M. Jacques. Meanwhile the inactivity of M. Jacques annoys his supporters, who are seeking even now another candidate. The betting in the bourse varies daily. Yesterday the calculators gave Boulanger 215,000 votes against 170,000, and odds were laid against the republican can- didate. The influence of the members of the municipal council, who are almost unanimously against Boulanger, is the leading factor in making his own success doubtful. ewe RusstaN IntTriaves AGaixst Ferprnaxp.— According toa St. Petersburg dispatch, sinister reports that come from Bulgaria keep the gov- ernment on the alert for developments. Prince Ferdinand’s abdication is a question of days. The orthodox bishops are preparing to de- nonnce him as an oppressor of the faith, The Grashdanin says that the Jesuite, under the shelter of the prince, are conducting an active propaganda among the peasantry, promising convent privileges that are not accorded to the orthodox. The Slavonic society sends daily telegrams directing the movement against Prince Ferdinand. The bishops are confident of ousting the prince. Measures will be taken, when Ferdinand abdicates, to pre- vent the return of Alexander without the as- sent of the czar. — eee. Emtvent Germans at ax Anti-Sexrtic Merr- 1No.—The annual fete of the Berlin students’ Anti-Semitic association was honored with the presence of Count Von Moltke, Prof. Berg- mann and a number of members of the court | circies. Dr. Stoecker, ina violent discourse, declared that the time had come to break the chains of slavery which the Jews imposed upon Christians, and which were sometimes heavier than the chains of slaves in Africa, Court Preacher Rogge delivered a similar address.

Va., correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: There has been # great deal of excitement here for several days over the discovery of Indian relics and remains by Mr. Warren K. Moorehead, of the Smithsonian Institution. He was sent here on the strength of a letter in the Sun sta’ that the recent floods in the south branch of the Potomac had unearthed @ great many skeletons. On Wed- nesday Mr. Moorehead made a tour of tion up the river, and as*the signs seemed very favorable, he a number of men the next day and dug several holes on Pancakes island, about ten miles above this place. The result of the digging was the finding of several skeletons, pipes, bone beads, panther teeth worked up in the shape of ornaments, pottery and copper plates, beside the skeleton of an immenge buffalo, buried in a bed of ashes about six feet deep. Friday the party went down to the Hanging Rocks, about four miles below here, where, ac- cording to Kerchival’s history of the valley, “a furious battle was fought between the Dela- wares and Catawbas, which resulted in the massacre of the whole party of the Delawares,” Here they dug along the river bank on Mr. Herriott’s farm. Eleven skeletons were found inside a space of twenty feet. One of them must have been the skeleton of a giant, as the lower jawbone was almost twice the ordinary size. The femur was two inches longer than that of a six foot man. They had been buried in various positions—some stretched at full length, some sitting, and in some cases three or four in a heap, some of them with their feet sticking up. To-day your correspondent wit- nessed the opening of a very large mound about halfa mile from town, on the farm of Mr. Garrett Postares, which contains a great many valuable trinkets, strings of beads, pot- tery, war hatchets, and several large sheets of mica, which they used for mirrors, Mr. Moorehead, being an expert, considers this last the oldest mound he has ever opened. - soe Patsey Cardiff Whips Jim Fell. A FIFTEEN-ROUND FIGHT AT MINNEAPOLIS LAST EVENING. The fight between Patsey Cardiff, of Minne- apolis, and Jim Fell, the champion heavyweight of Michigan, took place at Minneapolis Tues- day evening. The contest was tobe fifteen rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules, for $250 aside and 75 and 25 per cent of the gate ra- ceipts. Small gloves were used. Fell weighed 160 pounds and Cardiff 180 pounds. Both men were in excellent condition. Betting was about even just previous to the fight. ushed the fighting from the beginning. however, cl Lime first blood. In the third round Fell’ did some very hard hitting, forcing Cardiff about the ring and landing sev- eral very heavy blows about his head. Fell was again leading in the fourth round. Cardiff came to the ehair atthe close with one eye partly closed. Fell’s strength appeared to be failing in the eleventh round and many of his blows fell short. Cardiff's round again. The close of the twelfth round showed another nearly even round, the pe ints of in- terest being a terrific blow by Fell between Cardiff's eyes, However, it was becoming ap- parent that Cardiff was getting the best of the tight. Fell’s left eye was closed. The thirteenth round was rather tame, as was the fourteenth, till just at the close, when Car- diff landed heavily with his left on his oppon- ent’s cheek. In the closing round it was a gen- eral rough and tumble. Fell was winded, but pluckily held his own, even when forced to the ropes and half way over them. They fought viciously, clinching and wrestling, and wholly disregarding the orders of the referee. There were numerous cries of foul by Car- diff’s friends, and at the close the referee gave him the fight on that ground, Neither of the men was very badly punished, though Cardiff was in the best condition. The Suppressed Geffcken Documents. The dark allusion of the Coiogne Gazette to certain documents in the Geffcken case, which the paper said were not published because political and dynastic interests might suffer, according to a Berlin dispatch, refers to letters written by Morier while at Darmstadt, in which Princess Alice and several English royalties are involved. According to statements current in the officialcircle, if Prince Bismarck is forced by political exigencies to publish these letters, they will prove that Frederick and his wife were indiscreet, and divulged the plans of Prussia, and thateven before the opening of the campaign of 1870, Darmstadt was the focus ofintrigues against the unification of Germany. The documents that are withheld may afford ample justification of Bismarck’s accusations against Frederick in his report to the present emperor, but the strength of the public feeling against further scandal has become so extreme that the semi-official press has received hints to cease discussing the ct, Which? and Why? From the Boston Courier. There is food for reflection in a couple of ad- vertisements which appear side by side ina contemporary, which read, with the omission of address, as follows: WANTED—Young lady in publishing office; quick writer; $4 a week. WANTED—An experienced girl for general housework in a family of seven; assisted about washing; wages $4. It will be observed that the rate of compen- sation is the same in both these cases, but That while the “lady” receives simply $4 per week the “experienced girl” gets in addition her board and lodging. Whether gentility—the word most beautifully expresses the thing—is worth what it costs must seem at least an open question when the rate is so high. — coe The Parnell Commission. A WITNESS WHOM AN ARCHBISHOP ADVISED NOT TO PAY HIS RENT, When the Parnell commission assembled yesterday morning Sir Charles Russell, ‘of counsel for the Parnellites, said that, owing to the publication of @ later para- graph in the Sheffield Telegraph, and in order to save time, he would not press his applica- tion for a writ against that paper for issuing a placard containing objectionable words with | reference to the case before the commission. Presiding Justice Hannen expressed his gratification at this action of the counsel, and said he hoped that no_ fresh applications of a smilar nature would be made. A man named Farragher deposed that Arch- bishop Walsh, in Mr, Davitt's presence, had advised him not to pay his rent, and that he (Farragher) was evicted. He was afterward employed in the offices of the Dublin branch of the league. Witness also testified that he had carried letters, some of which contained checks, from Mr. Patrick Egan to Mullett, the invincible. a Sa eee Children of the Stage. HOW THEY ARE CARED FOR AND FED AT MACREADY HOUSE, LONDON, Children of the stage are befriended at Ma- eready house, Henrietta street, Covent Gar- dgn, says the Quiver, where temporal and spir- itual benefits exist on behalf of employes at various places of amusement. A young pro- fessional practically exemplified the esteem in which the refreshment buffet is held by show- ing a visitor a well-cooked steak, the price of which he decided would be a shilling: ‘No, sir,” said the girl, ‘‘steak and mashed for four- ence-halfpenny,” and she added that it had een cooked by “a brick of a matron!” Besides the creature comforts, here is rest for tired performers, and friendly sym ipathy is spreading uround a gentle Christian influence; how many of those who smile upon the stage have needy homes and weary hearts, and at Mac: house confidences are outpoured to friends who care alike for soul and mind and body, There are evangelistic meetings for boys, and a sium and mutual improvement society, A lad about nine years old proposed a gift to her majesty of ‘a card-board modelof a yacht, but the children of Macready house ‘made the “Glowworm,” a of four; “and dear, arene tc ae Nena ea =~ = workers of be devoted to an o1 destitute theatrical children.
