The Widow of a Former President Passes Away in Richmond, Va. The widow of the late ex-President John Ty- ler died at the Exchange hotel in Richmond, Va., last evening from a congestive chill. Mrs, ‘Tyler had only been at the hotel since Sunday evening, having come from a visit to her son, Lyon G. Tyler, at Williamsburg, and was to have left Monday on a visit to another son on the James river, but feeling unwell she kept her room. Tuesday at 11 o'clock she was taken with «chill, Dr. Edward McGuire was sent for, and he was soon joined by Dr. Hunter Mc- Guire, but medical skill proved of no avail, and she died at quarter-past 5 o'clock yester- day afternoon. Mrs. Tyler leaves four children—Lyon G. Ty- ler, president of William and Mary college, Va.; Gardiner G. Tyler, who lives in Charles City county, Va.; Dr. Lachlan Tyler of Wash- ington city, and Mrs. Wm. Ellis of Montgom- ery county. Her children have been tele- graphed for. Mrs. Tyler was the second wife of President ‘Tyler and was a Miss Julia Gardiner. She was born on Gardiner’s island, near Easthampton, N. Y., im 1820, and was the eldest daughter of David Gardiner, a descendant of the Gardiners of Gardiner’s island. She was educated at the Chegary institute, New York ci months in Europe, and in the companied her father to Washington. A few weeks afterward he was killed by the explo- sion ofa gunon the war steamer Princcton, which occurred during a pleasure excursion in which he and his daughter were of the presi- dential His iy was taken to the White House and Miss Gardiner, being thrown in the society of the President under these dis- tressing circumstances, became the object of bis marked attention, which resulted in their marriage in New York city, June 26, 1844. The circumstances of their courtship and marriage were very romantic. President Tyler left Washington on the plea of looking after a de- linquent postmaster in New England, and few persons knew of his marriage until it had oc- curred. For the succeeding eight months Mrs. Tyler presided over the White House with dignity and grace, her residence there terminating with a birthnight ball on Feb- ruary 22, 1845. Mrs, Tyler retired with her husband to their country place, “Sherwood Forest,” on the James river, in Virginia, at the conclusion of his term, and after the civil war, near the beginning of which her husband died, resided for several years at her mother’s resi- dence, on Castleton Hill, eng eee. = oe but subsequently removed to Richmond, Va She became a convert to Catholicism and was noted for her charities. President Tyler's first wife was Letitia Christian, of New Kent county, Va. She accompanied her husband to Wash- ington when he was elected to the presidency, but her health was delicate and she died in September, 1842. Elizabeth, the third daugh- ter of President Tyler by his be ging with the ly, who was the only one of the President's wives to die in the executive mansion, was married in her nineteenth year in the east room of the White House, January 31, 1842, to Wil- liam Waller, of Williamsburg, Va. The’oldest son of this marriage wedded a sister of the sec- ond Mrs. Jefferson Davis in the executive man- sion of the confederate states at Richmond, and her second son was killed in the confederate army. a MR. PHELPS _— ES A RECEP- 10: He Wants His Samoan Colleagues to Share All Honors. William Walter Phelps, in refusing an invita- tion from the Phelps guards to a public recep- tion to be given himin Patterson, N. J., in honor of his success in the Berlin conference, wrote: “I don’t like to celebrate the results of the Samoan conference when my colleagues on the commission are absent. If there is any- thing to celebrate—and while a diplomatic padlock ties my own lips. I have not failed to read in the English and German press that in their opinion the interests of the United States and of Samoa were not neglected in Ber- lin—the credit must be shared at least equally with my accomplished colleagues on the Amer- ican commission. ‘Kasson, of Iowa, astute, alert, experienced; trained for action in the battles of Congress to readiness of thought and expression; trained in diplomacy, for which he ‘was fitted by nature at Vienna and Berlin, and rich in the precedents of two international conferences, in which he had years agu a con- spicuous part; Bates, of Delaware, young, eager and accomplished, bringing to the very table of the conference a personal and accurate knowledge of Samoan customs and laws and histories, and welcomed there with peculiar respect because they welcomed him as an enemy and he proved by his judicial fairness in debate and in decisions that a man who most —— his own a will most regard the rights of others and become their friend. To these were largely due the success of the con- ference, and I should be loth, by any public celebration in their absence, to indicate that I claimed any more than my share with them of battle honorably fough = COMMON SE IN DIET. You May Survive Youthful Gorging, but Beware in Your Old Age. ‘From the Quarterly Review. There is in human nature infinite diversity of power and endurance in the general and nervous energy. and in digestion and assimila- tion; and a man of high-strung nervous tem- Pperament, hearing a temperance orator de- scribing the effects of alcohol, might cap it all by similar effects of tea, “the cup that cheers and not inebriates.” Even the faculty seldom appear to recognize the injurious results of this refreshing beverage. The poet Cowper seems to have been its slave and victim. Coler- idge abused its use and took to laudanum. The + “English opium-eater” well describes its bad results. The Chinese as a nation are tea-drink- ers and addicted to the other subtle drug. The alternation of excitement and depression in the Votaries of tea is evidence of its unsuitability for many people as a stimulant. Melancholia and religious mania are often to be traced to its habitual use. The question of the use of any kind of food, stimulating or otherwise, is entirely personal. To say that because one man is injured by excess another man should Perfectly abstain is most absurd. Probably more men are injured by excessive eating than by excess in alcohol; and are we therefore bound, for the encouragement and aid of those who need conversion from excess, to cease to eatatall of things well flavored? To say that those who are not injured should abstain is but to make a law without the due preamble. Men Vary, not from one another only, but they differ from themselves in different circum- stances and at various periods of life. There is no absolute rule respecting any food or drink for all men; one man is not to be con- trolled by other men in his entirely and strictly Personal affairs, but each man is to be “fully per- suded ig his own mind.” Each mind, however, should be open to persuasion; and persuasion in the so of habitual food should be dis- tinetly of an experimental sort. Each man is provided with intelligence for his own preserva- tion; but the pity is ‘that men neglect this recious gift of individual mind in their pecu- concerns. They do as others do. They eat and drink with freedom while they are so yous and active that the system overcomes litte f injurious attack: but as men advance a further into life, and are not quite so agile, then begin the troubles that tea, coffee, alcohol and many kinds of even simple food and stimulants and condiments inflict upon the careless and the inconsiderate, as well as on the intem ite and immoderate consumer.

JOHN TYLER. TRIAL OF THE BALTIMORE. BOTH FIGHTERS ON THE ROAD. Sullivan and Kilrain Going Home by Different Routes. The large steel government cruiser Balti- more, the third constructed by the Messrs. Cramp, and the most formidable of the new navy, started down the Schuylkill yesterday morning for a three days’ trial trip at sea, for the purpose of making a thorough test of the improved machinery and the seagoing quali- ties of the vessel. The present trial is private one, to detect the defects, if any exist, in the , 80 that they ‘can be remedied in time for the official test, which will take place in a few weeks, under the supervision of naval Officers appointed by the Secretary of the Navy. Shortly after 11 o’clock the bow of the Balti- more swung out into the stream. The propellor was set in motion, and the cruiser led down the river to the Delaware breakwater, the intention being to put to sea yesterday after- noon, She was under the command of Capt. Jos. Steel, and among those on board were Charles and Wm. Cramp, representing the builders; Capt. W. S. Schley, United States navy, who is to command the Baltimore after her accept- ance by the government; Lieut. Seaton Schroeder, commander ot the Vesuvius; Lieut. A. F. Fullam. Chief eer Abel, who is to have charge of the Baltimore's engines, and her two assistant engineers. Before departing, the Messrs. Cramp stated that itwas their in- tention to make the test as thorough as possible. She attracted considerable attention along the river front as she passed down the stream, and received recognition from steam crafts by the blowing of whistles as she glided gracefully through the water. BURKE TO BE EXTRADITED. He is Committed to Jail Pending Fur- ther Proceedings. The arguments in the Burke case were re- sumed at Winnipeg yesterday. The defense, Messrs. Perdue and Campbell, insisted that the evidence did not connect the prisoner in any way with the murder of Dr. Cronin; that it did not prove that Cronin was murdered in the Carlson cottage; that Burke knew Cronin or that he had any malice against him. The prosecution reviewed the evidence and contended that it made a clear enough case to justify extradition. Judge Baine delivered judgment immedi- ately. Speaking of the depositions before the Chicago grand jury, to which objection had been made by counsel for the defense, he said: “It only remains for me to consider if the evi- dence in these depositions and from witnesses is sufficient to justify me in committing the risoner for extradition. There is no doubt ut that the crime is within the meaning of the extradition act.” Here the judge read the provisions of the act. ‘Ihave in this matter to act inthe same manner as if the prisoner was brought before me, sitting as a magistrate or justice of the peace, charged with an in- dictable offense committed in Canada,” The judge then reviewed the evidence and said that it to him supplied such a strong pre- sumption of guilt that he could not take upon himself the responsibility of setting Burke free, as he would do if he did not commit. He, therefore, in the terms of the act committed Burke to the nearest jail to await extradition, the prisoner standing up while the commitment was pronounced. The judge explained that he had given judgment immediately, as the full court was now sitting and the question could be brought before them immediately on application for a writ of habeas corpus, BEGGS MAKES ANOTHER TRIAL FOR RELEASE. After the denial of a writ of habeas corpus in the case of John F. Beggs yesterday by Judge Tuley of Chicago, as published in Tae Star, Beggs’ attorney went before Judge Horton in the criminal court and made formal application that his client be admitted to bail. They al- leged that there was no evidence against him; that the defendant was innocent, and that he was entitled to bail and able to furnish it. It is not thought that this action will be any more successful than were the similar proceed- ings before Judge Tuley. The state attorney reiterated again the statement that he would oppose the motion toadmit Beggs to bail to the utmost. “He is not entitled to bail,” said Judge Long- necker, “‘and we do not intend he shall get it, We have evidence showing that the proof is evident and the presumption great of Beggy’ complicity in the crime, and, if necessary, we will show it to the court.” State Attorney Longenecker did not appear to be much surprised at the glad tiding trom Winnipeg, which reached him this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the shabe of the following terse telegram: Burke is extradited. Everything looks well. Groncr A H Baxen. BURKE WILL RESIST. “Yes, it's good news,” said the judge “though nothing more than I expected. I don’t see how it could be otherwise.” x “How soon will you be able to get Burke ere?” “Probably not for about three weeks yet. You see he is allowed fifteen days in which to appeal.” 'o you think he will resist further?” s; I suppose he will, It is not him so much as those back of him. Evidently the de- fense will make a strong fight all the way through, and I have no reason to believe that they will waive a point in this instance.” . ——— eee DR. M’DOW’S INSULTS. How He is Said to Annoy the Widow of the Man He Killed. A Charleston, 8. C., special to the Philadel- phia Press says: Since the rendering of the verdict of not guilty in the case against Dr, McDow for the murder of Capt. Dawson sentiment has been greatly divided over the justice of the verdict. Dr. McDow seems to have lost control of himself, or else he imag- ines that he is a privileged character to do as he pleases. A high brick wall divides the back lawn of Capt. Dawson's residence from Me- Dow's yard. The piazza of the second story of MeDow’s house overlooks Capt. Dawson's yard, Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Dawson was walking on the grass of her lawn when she heard whistling and clearing of the throat and other noises to attract her attention. She looked up and saw Dr. McDow standing on his piazza doing everything he could to attract her no- tice. She at once went into her house and closed the door. Dr. McDow had been sitting on the piazza of the first floor of his house with his wife and father-in-law. He lett them and went up stairs where they could not see him, He remained on the end of his upper piazza after Mrs. Daw- son had retired, still looking over into the Dawson yard. He was soon rewarded by the appearance of Captain Dawson's daughter, a pretty girl of fourteen, He again began his whistling and coughing. She saw who it was and ran into the house. He then took a small stone and pitched it into the window of the Swiss maid’s room. She looked out to see what it was and saw McDow motioning and whistling ather. She drew her head in at once, very much frightened. His conduct was so out- rageous that Mrs. Dawson had a policeman = to her residence to prevent further m- sults, It will be remembered that there was a small bruise on Dr. McDow’s head the day he killed Capt. Dawson. That bruise has been ex- plained. On the morning of the day of the tragedy, while attending the sick child of a lady he made improper proposals to her. She seized her absent husband's pistol and was about to ke Short work of him, when he fled, and in hurry to get out of the house struck his head on the door-facing. pci ste oo Destructive Storm in Pennsylvania. A destructive storm passed over the northern end of Greensburg, Pa., last evening about 4 o'clock, Rain fell in torrents, and the creeks for miles around the mining village of Crab- tree overflowed, and crops of wheat, hay and oats were carried down the streams. The waters of Crabtree and Thorn creeks were the most, damagi . Trees were uprooted in their course and buildings situated on their banks have been swept away. Every bridge on both creeks from Crabtree to Saltsburg have been carried away, and two or three hundred yards of the Crabtree branch railroad has been com- pletely washed out. No lives have as yet been reported lost. A hail-storm followed and was most disastrous tothe corn and it is AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR OF KILRAIN’S DEATH— SULLIVAN SCARED OVER IT—GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS ABOUT THE FIGHT—INDIGNATION - AGAINST MITCHELL FOR NEGLECT OF KILRAIN. Both Kilrain and Sullivan are on their way north and east. There were rumors in St. Louia and Chicago yesterday that Kilrain had died on the train; but they were found to be untrue. A Little Rock, Ark., dispatch says that Kilrain passed through that city yesterday afternoon and that the Baltimore boy was very sick, and from all appearances he was badly used up. The fact that he was sore from ring punishment could not be better illustrated than by noticing him when he attempted to put on his coat. This was difficult, and was not accomplished without the assistance of Mitchell, who carefully helped him on with it. Mitchell was not careful enough, and when the coat was being pulled off it was noticed that the pugilist winced as if in great Kil- rain said that he had been lick but not fairly, and intimated that he would take the fight up at the seventy-sixth round at some future time. He said it the fight had come off the day before he would have made a better showing. He made no complaint, however, only that he was not at his best, ‘The following dispatch was received by Mrs. Kilrain, in Baltimore. last night from Charlie Mitchell, dated Jack: oaville, Ark, : “Place no reliance in any reports you hear. Jake is well and being taken good care of.” SULLIVAN ELUDES MISSISSIPPI'S GOVERNOR. There was an attempt by the governor of Mississippi to secure a requisition for Sullivan and his party, but the pugilists left New Or- leans on lee arg train and ran through Mis- sissippi without a stop until Grand Bay, Mobile county, was reached, where a special car awaited the regular train from New Orleans, and was coupled on and reached Mobile at 7 o'clock. After a wait of half an hour the train | meee out for the north via Montgomery. Sul- ivan was lively and rather talkative, and looked as if he hed been trying to handle a hive of bees without gloves. Otherwise he was perfectly natural. Sullivan was much excited when informed of the rumor of Kilrain’s death, and every effort is being made to prevent any dispatches being sent as to his movements, route, &c. The party were very uneasy, fear- ing arrest. They did not know whether there was any truth in the rumor or not, and seemed much at sea as to what course to pursue. Sul- livan said he undoubtedly punished Kilrain ter- ribly, and looked as if the rumor was no sur- prise to him, GOSSIP OF THE SPORTS. A large number of sporting men who had witnessed the fight reached Cincinnati yester- day, and the general sentiment among both Kilrain and.Sullivan men was that Kilrain was not himself, and that he had been miserably trained. They were undecided whether the cause of this was that he was not sound phys- ically or that Charlie Mitchell had been care- less. One New York man said that the cause of Kilrain’s defeat was that Sullivan hit him too hard and often. Pony Moore is credited with having said after the fight that he did not know before that Kilrain was a ‘‘cur.” Moore was always friendly to Kilrain. The fact that Pony Moore, efter all his bluster, failed to bet a dollar of the $15,000 which he said he had to back Kilrain, leads to the belief that he had the tip as to Kilrain’s condition. Mitchell re- ceived considerable censure from those on the train for his thoughtlessness. It is said Sulli- yan has given his belts to Charlie Johnson, but it is the general opinion that Johnson virtually owned them before the fight. The champion- ship belt is not personal. The tight was not all a winning for Charlie Johnson, he having lost a roll of $1,200 out of his pocket. It is said Kilrain should now make amatch with Jack Ashton or Pete Jackson to get his reputation back. FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE FIGHT. Frank Stevenson gives the following as the financial statement of the fight: Receipts, $12 000; expenses, $1,900; railroad expenses, $1,100; percentage for selling tickets, #300. Thirty per cent of the receipts went to the managers to be divided share and share alike between Sullivan and Kilrain. About $6,000 were left. Harding and Stevenson, who represented Richard K. Fox's interest in the fight, both say that Kilrain should have advised them of his physical condition. The Sullivan representa- tives called on Stevenson and Kilrain the night before the fight and proposed that they go back to New Orleans and charter a train, and, taking ten men a side, go off to another ‘point and fight. ‘This would have given Stevenson a chance to have gotten out of the affair, and he could have thrown the blame on the Sullivan side, they having made the proposition, but Kilrain said, ‘‘No, I have come here to fight, and intend doing it.” The result was bis defeat. THE STORY OF THE DRUGGING. The story thata man in New Orleans says that he saw a party drug the water in Kilrain’s corner receives but little credence from the talent, though the fact that he says he will give the name of the man who did the act if Charlie Mitchell will ask for it, and that he does not believe that Mitchell will ask for his name, gives the storysome coloring. Sullivan's fight- ing with puffed and sore hands won the admira- tion of everybody, and while there are still a few who say he will quit, there are many more who became convinced after the fight that he isa stayer, punishment or not. Although there are many who cast opprobium on Charlie Mitchell, they one and all agree that to Mitchell is due the credit for prolonging the fight, and that Kilrain would have done better had he kept away more even than he did, Stevenson has Kilrain’s share of the money, and he says he will not pay it over to Juke until the latter has had time to consider matters and place it where it will do the most good. In Kilrain’s present frame of mind he might give it away. THE FEELING IN BALTIMORE is very strong against Mitchell, and Kilrain’s friends say that the Englishman must explain his apparent neglect of his principal, both be- fore and during the battle. John 'T. Norris, the detective, who claims that Mitchell owes him #200 for services he was engaged to per- form, but did not get the money or opportunity to earn it, has, it is understoed, gone to Jack- son, Miss.. to get Gov, Lowrey to give him warrants for the arrest of Mitchell and Kilrain, He is an indefatigable officer, and hates being played for a fool as much as he does losing the money he claims was promised him, SULLIVAN'S FUTURE MOVEMENTS. Sullivan will be given receptions in Boston and New York, and in the latter city he will be made the star of a great athletic entertainment that Arthur Lumley and James Mutrie are go- ing to give at St. George park, Staten Island, After the hurrah is over Champion Sullivan will settle down, it is thought, to rake in the shekels that success has started toward his coffers, He will do this by going on an exhi- bition tour throughout the country, accompa- nied by his trainer, Mike Cleary, He and Cleary will spar, and where sparring is not allowed he and Muldoon will wrestle. Jack Barnett will manage, ‘The following cablegram wes received in New York trom London yesterday: “Fleming, Jem Smith’s manager, to-day deposited with Sporting Life £200 for « match, Smith to fight Sullivan, £1,000 or £2,000 a side and champion- ship belt, October or November next, on neu- tral soil, Spain, Holland, or baa roger Sullivan to have the choice of ground and to be allowed £200 for expenses. it is not thought that this will lead to a fight, as Sullivan will probably keep out of the ring now as long as possible. ‘The [Wustrated News people say that there is no truth in the report thet Jack Ashton will try to fight Sullivan. Ashton, they say, was ready to challenge Kil- rain had he dso was Pat Killen, but neither one cure: et Sullivan. gedawtnsthndinn ~o eth Photography in Science. From Scribner's Magazine.

From the New York Herald. The London Lancet gives some timely counsel to the large classes of overworked, nervous and otherwise invalided people who in taking a summer trip are compelled to consult health before pleasure, In deciding between seaside, mountain or in- land resort of moderate elevation, the Lancet gives a decided preference to the marine resort for persons convalescing from fever or acute diseases and suttering from pure debility, with- out fever or much irritabiltiy. Persons who have recently suffered from pneumonia or acute bronchitis ys, should go to sheltered i as also patients in the earliest stages of phthisis. For cases of break- down from simple mental overwork or over- worry, it recommends the mountains or the mildly stimulating air of highlands, These suggestions, if carried out by delicate people who go summering, may prove very useful, Sea air and mountain air, both pure and both abounding in ozone, actvery differ- ently on different people. Victims of rheu- matism often find the air of both mountain and seaside too cold and damp. Such patients and many other sufferers who cannot stand stimulating air will frequently do well at an in- land resort of moderate altitude. For theaged or infirm, it may confidently be said, cold places, whether by sea or on high mountain summits, are not desirable, unless for a few days. It isalso unsafe for aged subjects of chronic bronchial catarrh to pass suddenly from a very dry to a very humid climate, or for tuberculous patients above fifty years, and per- haps for diabetics, to stay long in high alti- —_——_+e5+-____ Kaiser William’s Broad Hint. Berlin Letter to the Providence Journal. According to a story circulated in Berlin, the emperor appeared at 6 o’clock one morning most unexpectedly at the barracks of a dragoon regiment. The soldiers were ready for maneu- vers, but the commanding officer had not yet arrived. The emperor waited half an hour, when the delinquent arrived. His feelings at the sight of his sovereign can better be im- agined than described. But the emperor did not say a word. He assisted at the maneuvers, made several observations, as usual, and finally left without addressing a word to the officer in fault, who considered himself lost, The colonel went home in despair, expecting from moment to moment to receive the news of his disgrace. With the customary expe tious ways of the emperor, he knew he would not have long to wait. But the afternoon passed, then the evening, and still nothing oc- curred, He had not dared to leave the house, in dread of the events which were to decide his future career. Finally, as the evening wore on, he ventured out for @ walk. On returning home he found a little package addressed to him. No letter or message accompanied it. He hastily opened the mysterious parcel and found it contained an alarm clock, soe, The Smallest Screws, Made. “Yes, sir; those are the smallest screws in the worlk,” said a jeweler who was at work re- pairing a watch to a reporter for the New York World, He referred to the fourth jewel wheel screw, which is almost invisible and to the naked eye looked like a speck of dust. ut, here, just take this glass and look at it,” said the jeweler. The reporter did so, and saw that the speck thatal Geet cafertea to by the watch-maker, was aregular screw. The jeweler said that the screw was 260 threads to the inch, and with a very fine glays the thread may be seen very distinctly. “It has been estimated thatan ordinary thim- ble will hold 100,000 of these screws. “Nobody ever attempted to count them. The method employed in determining the number is to place 100 of them on a fine scale and cal- culated the number of the whole lot by the weight of those on the scale. The manufacture of these screws is a fine piece of work. After they are cut they are hardened and put in frames and polished by an automatic machine. ‘The whole process is wonderful, and only serves to show what can be done by man.” — voces. asus Ruled Off the Track. The New York Tribune says that after the race for the Lorillard stakes at Momnouth park Tuesday Mr. Cassatt, the owner of Eric, made a formal complaint of foul riding against Brant, who rode Kern, the stable companion of J. B. Haggins’ Salvator, the winner of the race Aiter. investigation the judges sustained tho charge and ruled Jockey Brant off the course. The complaint was not made before the judges had placed the horses at the finish, so that Sal- vator still stands as the winner, Had the charge been made before the horses had been placed by the judges the second horse (Dwyer’s Longstreet) would have taken the stakes, which were worth $20,000, as the racing rules require that if a charge of foul riding is sus- tained against one horse of a stable before the horses are placed by the jadges no stable com- panion can take a prize. Several of the jockeys testify that Kern was run acrogs the track in the last half mile of the race in such & manner as to interfere with all of the other horses except Salvator. Philip Dwyer openly charged Mr. Haggin with havi: ut the colt Kern in the race so that he ed foul other horses and let Salvator win. ———— 220 Officers of the Elks’ Grand Lodge.
