A DISGUSTED LABOR LEADER. Secretary Lewis of the Miners’ Associa- tion Retires from the Field. A Pittsburg special to the Philadelphia In- quirer says that the Times of that city says: W. T. Lewis, secretary of the Miners’ National Progressive union, yesterday wrote to Presi- dent McBride of that body, resigning his office. Mr. Lewis intends to sever his connection with labor organizations entirely and will go to the Paris exposition as one of the party of repre- sentative American workingmen. On his re- turn to this country he will begin to practice lw. In his letter of resignation Mr. Lewis dwells on the need of thorough organization among both operators and miners, especially in view of present excessive competition. If the joint organization of operators and miners is not to be attained for the present, he says, “then it becomes a necessity for the miners to have an organization, one organization, an organiza- tion as broad as the fields of competition, knowing no state lines as a limit, but coverin; all the coal fields the products from whic enter into competition. Instead of such an or- — what is the situation? Summed up word it is demoralization—more complete, More hopeless than if there existed no orgaui- gation. To-day the miners are in the ridicu- lous position of paying you and me and our associates to look after their interests, and then Paying another set of men to prevent us from carrying out any plans for their benefit. «An employer who took such a course would be a miserable failure, and our employers (the Miners) will be no exception. An houest criti- cism of officers’ acts and plans, with a view of bringing forward something better, is desira- bie; but this is not the end sought. Every- th: is objected to; nothing is brought for+ yaal caacgs uow and then a proposition to the Operators to take away something from the miners in order to gain favor with the opera- tora, Advice given from long service and ex- perience appears to count for nothing; columns f gush and fraternal bypocrisy, permeated with sanctimonious ignorance, from those whose past record in labor’s cause will not bear the slightest investigation seems to be accepted by a few of our mistaken fellow craftsmen and appreciated by the amount of space it takes Bp.” ete ee eee Lightning Prostrated a King. The physicians to king Charles of Wurtem- berg announce that the king sustained no per- manent injury through his prostration by a Dolt of lightning last Sunday. The king was wetching the thunderstorm from the veranda of the castle of Friedrickshafen when a light- ning bolt descended and buried itself in the ground a short distance away. The violence of the shock prostrated the king, who lay uncon- scious for sume minutes. A Waif of the Flood. Griffith Williams and wife and their four children were among a party thet left Scranton yesterday for the old country. The Williamses are survivors of the Johnstown flood. The youngest member, a boy, was the child born in the attic of a house tossed about by the wa- ters ard to which the family had gone from the roof of their own house. The little fellow has been named Moses Williams, and goes to Wales, bis native country, to remain. spanned ams A Woolen Company Insolvent. A New York World special from Norwich, Conn., says the Versailles woolen company, the largest manufacturers of woolen goods in Con- necticut, has been petitioned into involuntary insolvency. The court has appointed Adams P. Carroll of Norwich and Messrs. Brown, wool dealers of Providence, to take charge of the business, The company a few days ago offered their creditors 10 ceuts on the dollar, but the offer was declined. ‘The Peery brothers were the principal owners of the company, but their interest is now wiped out. The Mississippi Democratic Convention. The Mississippi democratic state convention met at Jackson yesterday and nominated John M. Stone for governor on the first ballot. The other nominations were: M. M. Evans for lieu- tenant governor; Geo. W. Goran, secretary of state; J. J. Evans, treasurer; IT. M. Miller, at- torney general: W. W. Stone, anditor; J. R. Preston, superintendent of educatioa. The platform repudiates sectional feeling and com- mends Gov. Lowry’s effort to arrest prize fight- ers and their abettors, x ‘ An Honorable Debtor. From the New York Tribune The duke of Portland, while he was merely Mr. Bentinck, incurred some debts of honor which be desired to pay. He went to a money- lender, but the Jew at first was not inclined to let him have the money on easy terms, “The duke of Portland may live twenty years; ou may die in the meantime,” said the He- ew. Mr. Beutiuck could not deny this, and Was ready to give liberal interest. ~“I will tell you what I will du.” said the Jew. ‘You will ive me your word that when you become duke Of Portiand you will pay me £10.000 aud I wil give you £1.000 now.” The duke closed with the offer, and a ‘ew weeks after the duke of Portland died and the new duke remembered bis barg: He instructed his agent to pay ite of remoustrances of his lawyer, that a promise so extravagant was -——+e2e—_____ Knights of Labor in Session. ‘The Chicago meeting of the executive board of the Kuights of Labor began yesterday at the Sherman bouse, with General Master Workman Powderly and the following members present: General Secretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes of Philadelphia, J. J. Holland of Jucksonville, Fla., A. W. Wright of Toronto, and Jobu Devlin of Detroit, Before uoon the board Went into executive session. which was con- tinued throughout the day and evening until a late hour. ‘ine first business of the board was the selection of the time and place for the next en assembly. It was decided that it should held at Atlanta. Ga., on the second Tuesday of November. ‘Ibe next matter taken up was the bearing of a complaint by J. R. Sovereign of Dubuque, on the question of a local assem- biy's jurisdiction. During the afternoon Mr. Powderly retired from the meeting for a short intervai, during which time he received calis from several geutlemen, among them Opngress- mau Lawier. —_—_——-<ee—___ The Woman Martyr of Molokal. From Donahve’- Maxazine. Miss Nellie Flavin. a Liverpool girl, however, is the only woman who has yet volunteered to labor in the dreaded spot at Kalawoa. conse- erated by the work of “the apostle of the lepers.” She passed through New York several Weeks ago, and her presence became known through the action of the custom house an- thorities, who seized the vestments she had brought for the use of Father Damien. She Fefused to speak about herself, and many were Of the opinion that her story was a subterfuge toobtain free admission to the vestments, They were shipped to San Francisce to be Riven to her ‘aie departure from that port, and her English friends had a brief sketch of her life published us an answer to the charge ef the custom house athorities, The Liverpool Cathutic Times, tells who she is: “Nellie Flavin is highly ac- complished, well educated and very well known in well-informed Catholic circles in Liverpool, Thoroughly taught at the board- ing «ec! of the Faithful Companions of Jesus, Dee house, Chester. she became a daily gov- erness, some time after leaving school, to the family of Mr. Pierce. Beaver house, Linnet Seftov park, Liverpool, aud remained in ‘that family until 1856, when she left for Lon- don to audergo there a course of hospital train- ing. Miss Nellie Flavin is a brilliant pianist, and is of an amiable, euergetic and resolute disposition. She has broken many strong ties to devote her life to the service of God's most afflicted creatures. aud has left behind her a just to hand, HIPPOLYTE’S NEW GENERALS. Two New York Merchants Commis- sioned by the Haytian Insurgent. A New York special to the Philadelphia In- quirer says: Minister Preston announced to-day that the Haytian insurgent General Hippolyte had commissioned two American citizens and merchants generals on his personal staff. The minister alleges that when the steamer Ozama arrived from Cape Hayti she brought W. P. Clyde, head of the well-known line of steam- ers, a commission as a general of division in Hippolyte’s army. Mr. Cameron, of the same line, was made a brigadier general, and J. Han- stedt, who has fought Hippolyte’s battles in this city, was rewarded by being made Hippo- lyte’s minister plenipotentiary and envoy ex- traordinary from Hayti to the United States. The little black republic is theretore’repre- sented here by two full-fledged ministers. Minister Preston says that in Hayti, when they want to reward a person for deeds of valor or help some political cause, they have a way of commissioning him colonel, major or gen- eral, according to his. merit—without pay. So it came about, he says, that Mr, Clyde and Mr, Cameron are entitled to wear general's uni- forms with spurs and mn checks with the honor attached. “General of Division Army de Hayti.” There seems excellent ground to be- heve that this story of Hippolyte’s appreciation and regard is true, although it is evident that for some reason or other Mr, Cameron and Mr, Clyde are not proud of the honors that havi fallen upon them. Awell-known merchant said this morning that he had reason to believe that the report that French soldiers were to be landed in Port- au-Prince is true. He explained that a ver critical moment in Haytian affairs was at hand, and he thought that French troops had been sent. not to aid Legitime, but to prevent Port- au-Prince from utter destruction in the event of mob rule. This had been done before when the little island has been convulsed with inter- necine strife on former occasions, notably in 1883, when French, German and American troops were in possession of the city. ———- 00+ Lincoln’s Religion. The forthcoming (August) number of the Century will contain a chapter on “Lincoln and the Churches” in the Lincoin History, by Messrs, Hay and Nicolay, from which the fol- lowing is an extract from advance sheets: “He was a man of profound and intense re- ligious feeling. We have no purpose of at- tempting to formulate his creed; we question if he himself ever did so. There have been swift witnesses who, judging from expressions uttered in his callow youth, have called him an atheist, and others who, with the most laud- able intentions, have remembered improbable conversations which they bring forward to prove at once his orthodoxy and their intimacy with him. But leaving aside these apocryphal evidences, we have ouly to look at his authentic public and private utterances to see how deep and strong in all the latter part of his life was the currentof his religious thought andemotion, He continually invited and appreciated, at their highest value, the prayers of good peo- le. The pressure of the tremendous prob- Foms by which be was surrounded; the awful moral significance of the conflict in which he was the chief combatant; the overwhelming sense of personal responsibility, which never left him for an bour—all contributed to pro- duce, in a temperament naturally serious and predisposed to a spiritual view of life and con- duct, avense of reverent acceptance of the guidance of a superior power. From that morn- ing when, standing amid the falling snowflakes on the railway car at Springticld. he asked the prayers of his neighbors in those touching phrases whose echo rose that night in invoca- tions from thousands of family altars, to that memorable hour when on the steps of the capi- tol_be humbled himself before his Creator in the sublime words of the second inaugural, there is not anexpression known to have come trom his lips or his peu but proves that he held himself answerable in every act of his career to a | more august tribunal than any on earth. The fact that he was not « communicant of any church, and that he was singularly reserved in regard to his personal religious life, gives ouly the greater force to these striking proofs of his profonnd reverence and faith. — —————— Overheard in the Cars, From the Youth's Coupanion, “Tue other day, in a railroad journey of seven miles, I heard several queer or funny remarks by people sitting near me,” said our minister. “My mind was on my next Sand. | sermon, too, and these things kept breaking in | upon my meditations ina very amusing way. Ishan’t try to give you my train of thought, buthere are the remarks of some of my | neighbors: “eile isa very serious young man.’ said a pretty girl to the friend sitting with ber. ‘I don't believe that he ever lets a smile cross his face. He always looks like one of those | Chinese idols preparing to eat the chopsticks | as w penance.” “In front of these tadies sat a meek-looking little old man, with lon sish hair parted down the middle of the back of his head and comved up over his ears. One lock kept falling down, aud he had a trick of pushing it nervously into place. He was talking to his seat mate in an excited way about somebody of whom he dis- approved. “Td like to see that fellow kicked out of town by cripples!” said the little man, with vin- dictive energy. Presently he added, ‘Yes, 1 suppose he is as good as | am myself, and that’s clearing ap his character plenty, “What's them trees, Henry?’ I heard an aged woman ask her husband as the train stopped at a country station. she was looking from the window. ‘Them’s popples,’ he replied, ty pop-lur, Henry,’ she corrected him in kind tones. “No, popple,’ he persisted. The pop-lars is tall, slim trees bat trees spreading out like them is pop-pulis.’ “He wa so certain of bis position that 1 was almost ready to look in the dictionary or a botany on my return home to reassure m; that poplars are always poplars und that are no ‘popples’ on this green earth.” ———— +0. The Mystery of the Rain. From the New Orleans Picayune. We know very little about the methods of the transportation and concentration of moisture in the atmoxphere. We can determine the proportion of moisture in the air within our reach. Wecan discern by the formation of | water drops on the outside of an ice pitcher that there is a greater or lesser quantity of moisture in the air around the pitcher. and in- struments are in use to declare the relative amount. What can we know of the vast bodies of water stored up in the clouds above us, and ready at a moment's warning to pour out their floods upon us? We may theorize about the vapor of water being carried between the atoms of the air as water is contained in the pores of « sponge. but we have no proper idea ow the tons upon tons of rain, snow, or hail are held aloft m the clouds or trausported from place’to place over a continent. We have recently had all the rain clouds carried over us from the Gulf to the north and northwest, to be poured down in floods upon the mountains of Pennsylvania and Virginia, while the rice and cane fields of Louisiana were parched and arid. Now the rain-laden skies are giving all their stores to us and the drought is being p: for with interest. It is easy enough to predict rain to-day, but what, after ali, do we know of the great climatic laws which ‘burn our fields with drought in June and cover them with a downpour in July? a8 oo The Perpetual Objector. From the Christian Union, Did the reader ever happen to live in the same house with the logical objector? He isa very wise person, is the logical objector.

Continue to Give the Results of Their Experiments. The inquiry as to whether execution by eleo- tricity is cruel and inhuman, and therefore un- constitutional, was continued in New York yes- terday. Dr. Frederick Peterson, who claimed to be a specialist of nervous diseases, said that im some cases when he had cut the dogs open, after they had been mted on by Ex- pert Brown, the heart beat for thirty-six min- utes, This, he said, was no indication of life. In these experiments in Columbia college the witness stated that some of the dogs seemed “0 suffer pain. This was not noticeable with those performed on in Edison’s laboratory. He was confident that the accurate resistance could be measured at any moment, . J. H. Noble, an expert connected with the Westinghouse elec’ company, was next re- called. He related his experience with » dyn- amo generating @ force of 1,050 volts, the same as that on the state execution machine. One day, while tending the machine, he accident- ally fell and his hands came in contact with the two poles. The result was that he received a severe shock. His hands were burned, and the skin came off, leaving them sore for weeks, The only physical effect experienced was ex- treme nervousness for several hours after. In the opinion of Mr. Noble, the Westinghouse machine might be i with safety 200 or 300 volts. ond that it would be dangerous. He did not know of any electrical current that could be considered absolutely fatal. Mr. No- ble said that from experiments he had tried, instecd of the resistance lowering with a series of measurements it increased. The afternoon session was occupied with the testimony of F. W. Jones. general manager of the Postal telegraph company, who described a number of experiments which he had made, the result of which was to show that the effect of an electric shock upon the human body cannot be estimated in advance with any cer- tainty. NASR-ED-DEEN WAS HUNGRY. Asa Young Man the Shah Knew Some of the Ills of Life. From the St. James Gazette. When a youth the shah and his mother were very much neglected and had to undergo many humiliations, As he was very awkward in his manners and gait anid spoke in a timid, hesitat- ing way, he drew several years ago one of the innumerable caricatures that with him form a source of unfailing amusement, and showed the sketch to his courtiers. ‘(Who is this?” he asked of his minions, None dared speak. ‘That was I as I felt and looked at that time,” he said. “Many atime did we lack food, my mother and I,” he continued, drawing a deep sigh. ‘Where, then, were you fellows, now so lavish in your protestations?” The shah was held in great detestation by his father, who was anxious that the second son should come to the throne. Nasr-ed-Deen was, however at fourteen made governor of Azer- beidju, that northwestern province whosé cap- ital is Tabriz. But fortune does not seem to have smiled on him, even in that position. There his father’s ill-will followed him, and many a time, because his salary was not sent regularly, the young prince and his mother were deprived of even the necessaries of life. Once, after waiting impatiently for the where- withal to keep the pot boiling, a tax collector sent what purported to be the revenues of a certain district. ‘Lhey consisted, however, only in kind, and one lot—a number of fine rugs— had to be sold at great loss toan Armenian deuler to furnish next day's dinner. sor — FOREIG NOTES.

With elert, intelligent and imapartial special correspond- ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole Geld of news, and is able to presente reflex of the entire civilized world each day up the very moment of going to press. In thesere spects THE Sax is absolutely without « rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the territory it cocupies. In its treaument of public affairs tt is impartial and aims to be fair and just to all taithsand inten este, and it ls adso/utely independeni, in the high est and broadest sense of the term. In the publi- cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes wo be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any other interest or consideration than that of serving the public, and securiug as far as possible the wel- fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, With these general objects in view, what TER STAR specially concerns itself with, and that to which it gives its best efforts, may be briefiy de scribed as THE INTEKESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since its present management assumed its direction, Gud this policy will characterize the future career Of the paper as prominenuy es it bas marked isp past history. 48 AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. ‘The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com Clusively establish tbat it 1s, the best local advertion dg medium in the worid?
