REPRESENTATIVE KELLEY DEAD. The Distinguished Pennsylvanian Passes Away—Sketch of His Career. Judge William Darrah Kelley of Pennsylva- mia, whose long service in Congress has caused im to be known as the “father of the House,” evening. He had been a sufferer for many ZA months, and for the past few days it has been felt that his desth was near at hand. Yesterday morning Dr. Stanton, \S. who has been his phy- “Ssician in Washington, stated that there Pcould be but a few . 2S hours more of life for the venerable states- WM. D. KELLEY. man. Mrs, Kelley and their daughter, Mrs. Horstman, had been watching at the sick man's bedside since his illness beeame serio and yesterday morning the two sons, W. D. Keliey, jr., and Albert W. Kelley, arrived, but their father had alre: sunk into a state of unconsciousness. which lasted until the moment of his death. The last mo- ment when he was able to recognize those by his side was about So'clock in the morning, when he reached out his hand to his wife and | daughter and his private secretary, who were in the room with him. At the moment when death came the mem- bers of the family and Mr. Weirich were by his bedside. He passed so quietly away that it was hardly known at just what moment death came. Judge Kelley leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters. The elder daughter is Mrs. Horstman and the younger ix the wife of a New York physician. Judge Kelley's last visit tothe Capitol was on the day before the holiday recess. He was then very feeble. His last official act in Congress was the swearing in of Speaker Reed. The funeral will be conducted with all official honor that can be shown on such an occasion, as it is appropriate in recognition of the long aad valuable public service rendered by the deceased. The funeral services are to be held ig the hall of the House tomorrow afternoot after which the remains will be taken to Phil- adelphia, Services will probably be held in the | latter city on Monday from the Unitarian eburch, corner of 22d and Chestuut streets. A SKETCH OF IMS CAREER, So long has Judge William Darrah Kelley been in Congress that he was universally known | as “Father of the House.” His career in Con- has been as useful as it has been long. He took part in many exciting scenes in the House. He was an anti-slavery man at the time of his entrance into public He was man of strong convictions and in the early days of his career his life was at times n= gered by his vigorous maintenance of his opin- ions. During a tour through the south in 1867 he was assaulted at Mobile, and in the general fight that occurred several persons were kilied. Later, during the reconstruction times, he was assaulted by a Judge Field. who tried to stab him with a knife at Willard’s hotel. During his career in the House he has come to be regarded as the ideal representative pro- tectionist. He was looked upon as the best informed man in bis party ou the tariff ques- the | *8trous, A day now and then devoted torecrea-| evenings, A local attorney was assisting Voor- tion, an occasional hour conceded to physical | hees in the prosecution of the case and the needs, are things to be strictly denied. The evidence tended strongly against Gordon's difference in the results during years of train-| client from the first and he had little hopes ing of s few hours more or less of close appli- of a verdict in his favor. The evidence closed cation to study is so infinitesimal that it is not | jate one evening and that night Voorhees on- worth considering. It most surely smacks of | tered Gordon's room at the hotel and the two the penny wise and pound foolish policy. The college president who petctoasly turns its students “out to grass” will develop a strong race of men. By “strong men” [do not mean mental prodigies and physical imbeciles, but died “at the THEE* | men who are both mentally and physically able to shoulder their way among men. The most deplorable picture in our colleges is that of a young man consuming his forming strength y close application to study. ‘This thing of close application becomes possible after both brain and body are hardened. -‘No time for recreation” is burning the candle at both ends while it is still soft and wasteful. All colleges may claim that these very sentiments find a prominent place in their advice, but to advise is one thing, while to provide is a very differ- ent thing. ‘The inference may be that this means a gym- nasium at every college, but not necessarily so. Agymuasium under proper management is a good thing, but very expensive—in fact, too ex- pensive for most Indiana colleges. By a gym- nasium I do not refer to acollection of para- phernslia that may be used at random, but to one in charge of an instructor. This puts it out of the reach of most of our colleges. The play ground is really a better substitute and that would be all-sufticient if exercise could be made its own incentive. We must recognize the fact, however, that we are very seldom in- chned to doa thing for its own sake, In any kind of training a goal must be set up, the sight of whictris constantly spurring our ef- orts. There would be very little study in our colleges for study's sake, but the increased power that such study will bring is the great incentive. ‘This underlying fact we must recognize in the matter of physical training, also by con- triving something that will act as a stimulus. For this reasen, it is my firm belief that inter- collegiate contests in athletics are among the wisest things that can be devised by coileges. “Conceived in wisdom” does not always imply “exeeuted in wisdom.” and there is a constant need of judicious oversight. It is certain, how- ever, that these contests keep the play grounds full, induce physical training of the most rigo- rous kind, exalt in the eyes of the students the value of a strong, healthy body, and teach them how to secure it. It is far from true that these contests imply only the training of a chosen few, for the spirit of trainng, of exer- ise, is infused throagh the whule college, A ¥ important incidental benefit is one that all college faculties willappreciate. Boyish spirit must find expression in some way, and a strong interest im athletic sports will go far toward clearing out trom our colleges the rubbish of old-time pranks, The true theory of education is to develop all the powers, and any training which involves a repression of the physical man should not be tolerated. Acollege is no longer a place for monastic seclusion, but a place where men are trained to fight for success, and no greater factor underlies success than a strong, healthy body. ae Crazy from Cigarette Smoking. Jacob Freund, a nineteen-year-old youth, who resided with his widowed mother in Newark, N.J., was taken to the county insane asylum yesterday morming a raving maniac from the excessive use of cigarettes. Freund, who was anthveterate smoker of cigarettes for years, had been warned several times by physicians that he was racking his health and mind, but he paid no attention to it. A few days ago he began to act strangely, and Tuesday night he tion. He was born in Philadelphia April 12, 1814. His father, who was a jeweler, died when Wm. D. Kelley was a child. His widowed mother was poor, and after he reached the age of eleven he refused to permit her to bear the burden of his support. He gota job as errand boy ata dollar a week. ‘Then he worked for an um- brelia maker and then he became copy holder in a printing office. On his thirteenth birth- day i apprenticed himself to a jeweler until he was twenty. During the term of his ap- Prenticeship he became prominent in the ap- prentice organization and at the age of sixteen was selected to deliver an address for them. When the time of his apprenticeship expired he’got work in Boston. By a speech at Faneuil hall he attracted the attention of such promi- nent men as George Bancroft and Nathaniel Page. who made him offers to enable him to develop his talents. He refused these offers, but accepted one to study law with Col. James Page. He began this stady in 1839 and was ad- Iitted to practice in 1841. In 1847 he was com- missioned as judge of common pleas. In 1556 he was nominated for Congress in the old fourth district and made the contest on an anti-slavery platform. He was defeated, but became thoroughly identified with the republican part He was a delegate at Chicago in 1860 w ‘oln was nominated, and in the following election was elected to the famous Thirty- seventh Congress from the fourth district of Pennsylvania, a district which he has repre- sented ever since, though he has several times wished to retire. He has aiways been a useful member of the House, —_—.___ FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE. The District Association Elect Officers and Contribute to the Dakota Fund. ‘The parlors of the Riggs house were crowded with ladies of the District woman suffrage as- sociation last evening, the occasion of special interest beimg the election of officers. The following were chosen: President, Dr. Susan Edson; vice president, Mrs. Bessie Boone Cheshire; secretary, Miss Fannie Edwards; treasurer, Mra. Mary P. Lockwood. Miss | Sophronia Snow was elected the District mem- ber of the national American executive com- mittee, and Dr. Winslow, Mrs. Parnell, Mrs. O'Connor, Mrs, Blount, Miss Johnson and Miss De Puy were elected delegates to the twenty- second annual Washington convention, to be held in new Lincoln hall, corner of 9th and D streets, February 18, 19, 20and 21. The next District meeting will be held the second Thurs- = in February. iss Anthony was present and urged upon the ladies the claims of South Dakota—the need of literatare being sent to rouse the peo- ple of that state to practical thought upon the suffrage question, because it is to be voted upon at the November election of 1890. She appealed to the members present to contribute toward the expenses needed to push the fight. showed unmistakable signs of insanity, Yes- terday morning he was placed under the care of the police. Last night he eluded the watch- ers, and, escaping from the building, wandered about the street in bis night clothes until cap- tured on the outskirts of the city. He was brought to police headquarters and placed in the hospital room. He became very violent after being in there awhile, and before he could be restrained he had driven his fists through the glass in the windows, destroyed everything in the shape of furniture in the room and with the remnants of a rocking chair smashed the gas fixtures and also a valuable case of instru- ments. He was then placed in a straight jacket unul his removal to the asylum. = soe — - The Benign Witchery of Candle Light. From the Hartford Courant, There so many women who have passed their first youth who appear at the balls in New York and receive the devoted attention of men for whom they must entertain a most grand- motherly interest that the question of light has become a most important one, so these foxy caterers to the female complexion have taken a leaf out of French books and lighted their rooms with candles, the silver candelabra being set inthe walls so that the hght falls from the side, not above, while pretty little fluted petticoats of rose silk shade the colored candles, A side light, especiaily if it ix rose- tinted, takes ten years from a woman's age. No wonder we are in favor of abolishing the deadly electric lamps and the flaming gas, if wax candles are such thieves of time. soe * A Wild Ride in a Caboose. From the Aspen Chronicle. A thrilling page from the lives of the frontier brakemen is furnished from the Denver and Rio Grande, in which Bob Murtle is the central character. Onarecent Saturday the regular freight that plies between the metropolis and the httle mining camp on the suburbs of Uro tooted itself out of town and disappeared along the winding banks of the Roaring Forks, One Station after another was passed and Tenn see Pass, with its rather tortuous stretch, was reached, At this point the “helper” was summoned, and was tu have been linked between the caboose and the last of the freight cars. The caboose was accordingly detached and put aside for the admission of the wecond locomo- tive. While this was being done a mountain breeze began to whistle and the caboose started, with the grade toward the valley of the Eagle, Brakeman Murtle mounted it with the skill of an equestrian and put down the brake, but the beam broke, leaving him and his runawa: steed tothe mercy of the grade. With eac ink it gathered speed, and the car shot down with the fury cf an avalanche, Murtle clung to his position as the caboose swung around short curves and finally reached Mitchell, by which it paced at 60 miles an hour. The situation was serious, and turning toa passenger he ordered him to jump. This was promptly vetoed, however, whereupon Murtle Miss Anthony said one “Old Soidier™ had con- | picked up the voyager and landed him in some tributed €100.

Social and Fraternal Doings—Sicknese— Improvements. Gorrespondence of Tax Evexiva Stan. Rocxvitiz, Mp., January 9. Mr. John B. Heater of Washington is visiting his father st Hunting Hill, this county, and ex- pects to remain several days. The mother of Sheriff Wm. H. Carr is con- fined to her bed from serious illness at the Corcoran hotel, this place. During the iast three days Mr. M.

To produce sufticient silk to make a dress re- quires more time and capital than most people would imagine. If we take one and one-quarter pounds as the weight of pure silk required this would be equal to two pounds of raw silk, To produce two pounds of raw silk would require the entire silk obtained from 7,000 to 4,000 | worms, allowing a perceatage for death by dis- ease and other casualties. It may be interest- ing tostate that these young worms when newly hatched would scarcely weigh one-quarter of an ounce, yet in the course of their life, which only lasts ‘some thirty to thirty-five days, they | will consume about 300 to 400 junds of | leaves and increase in weight about 9,000 times, Consumers of silk will not wonder at its high of F.; J.

This isa large item of ex i the cultivator does not wand his purchase them, engaged in conversation. The time that each would require in the argument was referred to and Gordon asked: ‘Voorhees, what are you going to say tomorrow?” The plaintiff's attorney did not answer the question directly, but, rising from his chair and bending over its back as he looked Gordon in the eye, he entered upon a discussion of the case. Ashe proceeded he seemed to forget where he was, and made the speech that he had mapped out in his mind to deliver to the jury the nextday. His denunciations of the defendant,as Gordon afterward described them, were simply terrific; appeals in behalf of i g in the extreme, and his review of the evidence of the case strong andconvineing. Gordon afterward declared that he felt at the time that if that speech ever went to the jury his client would be muleted in heavy damages and he set about to devise some means to offset it. When court convened the next morning the judge asked if there had been any agreement as to the argument, and Gordon responded, apparently as if little concerned, that he sup- | posed the prosecution was entitled to the opening and the close, and it was hardly neces- sary to limit the argument. With this undcr- standing the argument was opened by the local attorney. He presented the case for the plain- tiff in a very fair manner and left to Voorhees, as he nbd ert the work of embellishment and appeal to the feelings of the jury. When he sat down Gordon rose and, addressing the court, said that the plaintiff's attorney had made a very fair presentation of the case, and he would submit it without argument. ,_ Voorhees saw the point in a moment, but his side having had the opening and the close he could not claim more, and he contented him- self with turning upon Gordon and vowing that he would get even with him if he had to follow him around the world. ‘The jury returned a verdict for nominal di ages against the defendant and Gordon always contended that but for his sharp practice his client would have been ruined. ~ +e. CHINESE BANKING. The “Woo-ey” System that Does Jus- tice to Ah Sing. From the Chicago Herald, The Chinese havea way of borrowing and | lending money under a system that they call a | Wooy-ey, which allows its members to borrow in | a stated sum and repay it by installments. Any member of the Woo-ey who takes a share and does not wish to borrow himself obtains a good interest on the money he invests. The plan of | a Woo-ey is as follows: Ah Sing wants to borrow $100and repay it in installments, so he starts | a Woo-ey; his first step is to find 20 persons who are willing to take a $5 share in a $100 Woo- Ab Sing is known as Woo-ey Tow, or head of the Woo-ey; the shareholders are known as Woo-ey Chi, or children of the Woo-ey. The Woo-ey lasts twenty months; each Woo-ey Chi pays in #5 tothe Woo-ey Tow, so that Ah Sing obtains | his $100. At the end of the month Ab | Sing goes to eacl of the shareholders jand asks for bids for the next loan; jeach member writes his name and the |amount of interest he is willing to pay on a slip of paper. Each member has the right of borrowing money once during the Woo-ey. After the bids are all received | they are opened and read and the money lent to the highest bidder. We will suppose ‘that 2 per cent is the highest bid, Ah Sing, who now pays the first installment, has to pay in the full | amount of $5, while the others deduct the 2 per cent and pay in $4.90. When the next in- stalment falls due there are two members who have to pay in the full amount, and so the Woo-ey runs on. At the end of fifteen or sixteen | months the interest offered is oftenas high as 25 or 30 per cent, but as fifteen of the mem- | bers have borrowed and so have to pay in the | full amount of £5 it is only the tour or five left who get the benefit of the heavy interest, Sometimes toward the last of the Woo-ey, when two or three different ones wish to borrow, the rates offeredare often as high as 75 per cent, and ingone instance 100 per cent was bid on az3 Woo-ey. As there were three members that had not borrowed the Celestial had only to pay the heavy premium to two men. Some- times the Woo-ey is as low as 50 cents a shere, oe Lhave known of Woo-eys as high as $50 a share. —————— Rival Colored Leaders. The following address was igsued in Chicago yesterday: “To the colored people of the United States, The undersigned committee has been in- structed by several state leagues and a num- ber of prominent and leading colored men from every state and territory in the Union to inform the press and the public that not the slightest attention has been or will be given to the convention that has been called by ‘'T. ‘Thomas Fortune of New York, which has been advertised to meet in this city January 15, and all delegates and others are requested attend the national convention that has b called to meet in Chicago June 23, 18909 9 the purpose of forming a national league better the condition of their race, as that one was the first national convention called.

From the American Notes and Queries, Two noblemen in the reign of Maximilian IT | (1564-1576), one a German, the other a Span- iard, who had each rendered a great service to the emperor, asked the hand of his daughter, Helena, in marriage, Maximilian said that as he esteemed them both alike it was impos- sible to choose between them, and therefore their own prowess must decide it, but being unwilling to risk the loss of either by engaging | them in deadly combat he ordered a large suck | to be brought and declared that he who should put his rival into it should have his fair Helena, And this whimsical combat was actually per- formed in the presence of the imperial court and lasted an hour. The unhappy Spanish nobleman was first overcome and the German | succeeded in enveloping him in the sack, took him upon his back and laid him at the feet of the emperor. ‘This comical combat is said to be the origin of the phrase “give him the sack,” so common in the literature of nasrtne.
