An Exciting Fox Chase—Three Foxes Started, but None Captured. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Rocxvinte, January 25. Robert G. Connell, a prominent citizen of this county, died at his home in Potomac dis- trict yesterday, in the sixty-tifth year of hisage. Daring his lifetime Mr. Connell was a well- known democratic politician and for some time held the position of county commissioner. He was a member of one of the largest families in this section of the state and leaves a large num- ber of relatives in this county and in the Dis- trict. Mr. S. L. Phillips of Washington, who re- cently purchased forty acres of the Shaw farm, about one inile northeast of this place, from B. HL. Warner, has since his purchase been busily engaged in making improvements on the same. Last week he contracted with Mr. Edward M. West for the constraction of acommodiousdwell- land, which, when completed, will ne of the largest and bandsomest houses in this section. The site for the residence is on an elevated plateau overlooking a large ex- panse of country beautifully diversified by cul- tivated fields and woodland. A force of sur- veyors in the employ of Mr. Warner have for several weeks been engaged in subdividing the balance of the farm and laying it off into lots and villa sites. Yesterday was a day long to be remembered by the lovers of the fox chase in this county and was the scene of a most exciting hunt, which for numbers engaged and enthusiaem displayed has never before been equaled in section of the state. About 8 o'clock a.m. hunters of this vicinity began to assemble town, and by 9 o'clock the place was ren- wred lively by the big array of mounted men and the lond baying of over forty dogs eager for the chase. ‘The party from this place em- braced the following: E. C. Peter, C. W. Fields Robert Isherwood, J. W. Kelchner, Dr. R. C jeld, Geo. Peter, S. B. Lyddane, W. H- Rabbitt, Arthur Peter, Cushman Braddock, Charies Eyddane, Geo. C. Dawson, Samuel Lyddane, Chas. ‘Clagett, C. W. Waiker and others, who were med by Measrs. David Griffith of Redland brother of Derwood and Hall and others of Darnestown, each ing xecompanied by a number of dogs. Je of about four miles in a southwesterly ction from this place a large red fox was il on the farm of Mr. Jacob Miller and then the fun began. At this point the party was joiued by Messrs. Stone and O'Brien of Poto- mac and Wm. Magruder of Beaver, with their noted packs of hound: full rum in the direction of the river, closely arsned by a portion of the men and dogs. This chase was Rept up. for some time, when the hounds ran out of heuri then directed their course to th ard Veirs, where, in an open field adjoining a pin-oak marsh, two red foxes were bounced and ran together for some time, followed by about twenty-tive dogs in full cry. This exeit- t up for four hours and ex- miles and was only closed by approaching darkness. Dur- ing the chase at one time the fox came within half a mile of town and the baying of the dogs could be heard in the streets. The great trou- 1 be Ligg d ble experienced by the hunters was that the | large crowd in pursuit were riding in all direc- tions and often throwing the dogs off. the trail. Another cause for the non-eapture of the foxes in the vieimty hunted over is the great number ‘of dens situated at short intervals and in which the animals take refuge when hard pressed. Dur- ing the next week or two it is proposed to have another chase, the meet to take place at the residence of Mr. James Trundle in Poolesville district. In the of the continuance of the Dove robbery case made last week the name should have been Thomas instead of Neal Dove. SAM. eae eee HAGERSTOWN HAPPENINGS.

It is said that Trott ix after Pitcher Baker and Reddy Mack of the Baltimores. Whistler will go to the Brooklyns if he leaves the New Yorks. ‘A request has been received by the New Yorks from the Brooklyn (Limited) Associa~ | tion that Ward be released to them.

Childs, the crack second baseman of the | Syracuse Club and a Baltimorean, has been signed by the Boston Association team. The price paid is said to be £2,000. Childs is quite & youngster. Mark Baldwin, the pitcher, has again signed [with Columbus. His salary will be $2,900.

Mr. Gunter’s Idea of Making “Potter of Texas” a Two-Night Play. Archibald Clavering Gunter, tho author of “Mr. Potter of Texas,” which has been dram- atized, has conceived rather a novel idea in con- nection with the preduction, the consummation of which would have begun a new era ir: theat- ricals in America; it smacks somewhat of the Chinese, if one wishes to trace the inspiration to a possible source. The story of “Mr. Potter of Texas” opens in Alexandria. Egypt has been particularly gen- erous to Mr. Gunter and that author has made good use of the advantages offered. This land, fraught with superstitions and race prejudices, has furnished material which Mr. Gunter has molded into two of his best characters, the Corsican in “Iwo Nights in Rome,” and old Tomasso im “Mr. Barnes of New York.” In “Mr. Potter of Texas” Mr. Gunter borrows fror the Egyptian Niccovie and he makes of him a worthy illustration of the race. The bombardmer: ‘of Alexandria is a lurid piece of word-painting, and offers excellent opportur- ity to Mr. Gunter as a dramatist for a charac- teristic climax. In fact, the scene in Alexan- dria has in its composition, the author thinks, sufficient materml for a drama. It was this fact which led Mr. Gunter to the thought of devoting two evenings to the production of “Mr. Potter of Texas.” He had determined to de- vote one evening to illustrating the scene in Alexandria and the following to the rest of the story. This would necessitate issuing double coupon tickets, making them good for admis- sion on alternate nights. The idea was submitted to Mr. Sanger and was sufficiently considered by that manager to induce him to hold a consultation with Mr. William Seymour, who hax been selected per- sonally to direct the production. It was at last decided that the scheme, for the present at any rate, was impracticable. px eae RICH BUT STILL A FORGER, Death of a Wealthy Young Woman Who as a Monomaniac. ‘Miss Mamie Smith, a handsome young woman of twenty-two years, was arrested in Denver three months ago for attempting to pass a forged check upon one of the local banks. She was released on bail and remained there | pending her trial. Friday night, after a brief illness, she died of pneumonia. It is now learned that Miss Smith was not compelled to attempt the crime from necemity, but was a monomaniac upon the subject of passing forged paper. She had an estate in Louisville, Ky., valued at $75,000, from which she received a monthly income of $400. Miss Smith went to Denver from Louisville three months ago. She became acquainted with a family by the name of Ornauer. One day a policeman was sum- forging the name of Mrs. Ornauer to a check for ¢300. eee Existence of » Drug Trust Doubted.

A Review of the Present Pétitieal Situation by Monsignor O'Reilly. HE CONCLUDES TRAT PARSELL’S POWER 18 GONE, AND HIS OPPORTUNITE LosT—THE DISAPPOINT- MENT CAUSED BY HIS COURSR—THE CAUSZ AND NOT THE MAN—A NEW LEADER. In the forthcoming number of the American Catholic Review will be printed an article by Rt. Rev. Bernard O'Reilly, D.D., om the present political situation in Ireland.” From advance sheets of this paper Tux Stan is enabled to present some of the leading thoughts. Mgr. O'Reilly, after reviewing the various oocur- ences down to those attending and following the O'Shea suit and trial, which he speaks of as “the last and most masterly movement in their (the Salisbury government's) strategy against the national cause,” says: “To all who to the last clung to the belief that Mr. Parnell was innocent and that the O'Shew law wait was only the last act in the tor conspiracy against Ireland, which would it in Mr. Parnell’s turning the tables on his slan- derers, his conduct on the above occasion was a sore disappointment. “It is tre that some vague passages in Mr. | Parnell’s public utterances have been inter- preted asa request. that bis friends and the nation at large shall suxpend judgment in his case. And we are also aware that a theory of his innocence has been seriously entertained, based on the eccentricities and peculiar meth: ods of the man, notably his action at the time of the Pigott investigation. Still, the fact stares us in the face that nota single formal, authentic and unquestionable assurance of in- nocence has by him been given to any one. “Be that as it may his guilt or his innocence forms no essential factor in the solution of the | Irish problem as it now confronts us. ‘The puly- lie wi discuss and solve the question of crimi- nality or guiltlessness according to its own par- | tiality, prejudices or passions. “If the verdict of guilty is final and general | men of the world will not be at a loss to find | circumstances which will appeal to the com- | Passionate and merciful side of our nature. “If Mr. Parnell is really innocentand can tri- umphantly prove himself t be so he may in- deed thus vindicate his personal purity, but the Vindication must henceforth be at the expense of his political eagacity. For he, the leader of a nation, by his ‘very willingness to appear guilty has precipitated in Irish affairs the same disastrous consequences as if he were the guilty and dishonored man Capt. O'Shea has been endeavoring to prove him to be. It was unpardonable, considering the position he held | among a people so proverbuully pure and watchfully jealous of the sanctity of the homes, in Mr. Parnell to continue his relations | with the O'Sheas after the Galway election, together with his suspicious conduct ever since. “This is the first count on which the verdict of public opinion must be against him. ‘THE SECOND FAULT. “The second fault committed by him in this regard was his not making known to the men who had a right to his confidence some good reason for the silence maintained by him after the verdict in the divorce suit was rendered, and more especially for not reattirming the assurances given to the archbishop of Dublin when the divoree proceedings were first insti- tuted. “The letter of Mr. Gladstone,” says Mgr. OReilly, “calling for the withdrawal of air. Parnell, taken together with the verdict of the divorce’ court, seems to have disturbed the usual equanimity of a man weakened by long illness and racking anxieties. We cannot other- wise account for the contradictory judgments given by Mr. Parnell himself of the famous visit to Hawarden Castle and his irreconcilable estimates of Mr. Gladstone's trustworthiness as an advocate of a full measure of home rule for Ireland. THE CAUSE AND NOT THE MAX. “Mr. Parnell,” the writer goes on, “was heard with attention both in the British senate arid all over the civilized world, because his voice was that of Ireland, too long misgoverned. ang] oppressed. “Isher cause so absolutely identified with Mr. Parnell’s fortunes that his disgrace, or his retirement from political life, or even death, would so paralyze her voice, so injur her claims, that the people of Great Britain, so lately ing to the sense of her cruel | would close their ears, their minds, r hearts to what justice, humanity and | their own dearest political interests demand in favor of the sister islan “And will Irishmen and men of Irish race consent to bury forever oat of sight and be- neath the earth’ that cause of Ireland, so en- thusiastically upheld but yesterday?’ God knows, we [rishmen are clannixh enough, and this very clannishness, the devotion to a name | anda man, the narrow love of the tribe and the locality in preference to the country and the nation, has bee: too often our bane in th t. It dashed all the hopes of our peopl End. rendered scloes all the ‘slaughters and sacrifices made for religion and nationality for the past two or three cerfturies. That thivclannishness is nota thing of the past what has just happened in Ireland, as well » in our own free America, proves but too con- ciusively. The name of the man, not that of the cause or the country, is the spell our speak- ers conjure with, the’ will-o’ the-winp. which leads our countrymen astray and lands their country's cause in quagmires from which there seems ho escape. “We must learn to love Ircland for her own sake, not for the sake of the men who represent or misrepresent hez. We must be devoied to the cause through good repute and evil repute, through good and ill fortune, because we be- lieve it to be u cause fated never to be lost. “It depends on us, on Irishmen in the three kingdoms, and on Irishmen here and wherever the English language is epoken, to prevent the cause of Ireland from being a lost cause. ‘The man who shall be chosen to succeed Mr. Par- nell will be the lawfal representative of the cause, and bear the flag around which all should rally who deserve the name of Irishmen. ANEW LEADER. “A leader will have to be chosen, competent tospeak forthe party in the house of com- mons, to occupy officially the place just made vacant, to be the acknowledged and respected representative of Ireland in dealing with Mr. Gladstone and ‘his colleagues. We flo’ not seo among the Irish parliamentary party any one man who may, for the time being at least, enjoy the confidence won by Mr. Parnell as a'stais- | man, debater and lender.

They have traced her step by step from the time she first landed at Castle Garden two years ago until her sudden disappearance from that city two weeks ago. There is a pretty barmaid in a “Weinstube.” Her name is Jenme and she is a Hungarian by birth. “Marshal Bernhardt come to me about two weeks ago,” she said, when seen by # re- porter. “He read aletter to me written by Count Sairmay. The letter was addressed to his daughter, and iu this he begged her tocome to his home again, and said that she would: be forgiven and received with open arma.

Uprising by Socialists to Be Suppressed Only by the General. A-special cable to the Philadelphia Inquirer brought from New York by messenger says: 1 One of the most extraordinary storige Qhap just got abroad respecting an allegéd pew tfour langist plot, having for its object the rewivel of the communal anarchy of twenty years ago. The authorities are said to have in their hands evidence that on the anniversary of the proc- lamation of the commune there was to bea wholesale socialistic rising. The plans, which were very cleverly arranged, provided for the seizing of prominent government officials in their beds and the capture of the arsenals and gunsmiths’ shops by a coup d'etat. Where Boulanger was supposed to come in was as there storer of the public peace, as ths rebels were to be made to state that they would treat with nobody but him. Several prominent Orleanists and imperiali iteare aid to be impli- cated in the plot and some wholesale arrests muy be expected to follow. The government is thoroughly warned and has taken such precau- fions that any rising must prove a failure, Measures are also being taken to relieve some of the terrible distress now being suffered by the poorer classes, caused by the extraordinary cold weather. Meanwhile a sharp watch is being kept upon ali the socialistic cabs and known resorts of anarchists.

The n amount of public feel was not manifested in the matter and it fe flat. He was an Adirondack man: had been in the woods often and would go again.

Papa Stearns Told Lucy to Stop Cryingand Go to Sleep—She Slept 36 Hours. ‘The other evening Mr. and Mrs. George Stearns of Philadelphia proposed to go to the theater, intending to leave their only child, Lucy, in the care of the nurse, and while Mra. Stearns was dressing the child began to cry. Mr. Stearns took the baby to pacify her. He patted her and stroked her face, sung to her and urged her tobe quiet, without success. His wife then called from her room: “George, can't you keep her quiet? My nerves aro going to pieces.” « Mr. Stearns bethought him that severity was often effective when petting failed. He made Luey sit up straight on his knee, shook his finger at her, and then, as he stroked her fore- head and eyes, said: “Go to sleep, Lucy, at once.’ The child s ing instantly, a Wis, whimpered, and’ okie bank fa biterme fast asleep. At that moment the woman re- turned and Bir. Stearns gave Lucy to her. Hus- band and wife went out, and returning were delighted to learn that the baby was slumber- ing quietly. ‘The child kept slumbering all that, night and the next day and on the following day, when Mr. Stearns became worried and sent fora physician. Dr. Rogers, who was called, Was puzzled for a while, and’ then, seizing Mr. Stearns by the shoulder, turned him to the it “Hm!” said the doctor, slowly. “Do you know, Stearns, that you have a pair of bi eyes that are uncommonly piercing? Answer me this: What are the circumstances under which the baby fell asleep? Tell me everythi you did to quiet her.” Mr. Stearns did go. “Aw I imagined,” was the physician's com- ment. “You have hypnotized her. Now take her on your lap as you had her Monday.” Jin, Stearns scated the slumbering child on “Now stroke her face in the opposite direc- tion that you did before.” ‘The father obeyed. haz tell.her sharply to wake up while I clap my nds.” ‘The words had scarcely been spoken when Lucy opened her eyes and began to cry as lust- ily as she had cried Monday evening. “Thank the Lord,” exclaimed Mr. and Mra. Stearns together. Dr. Rogers afterward said that a similar case happened once in Paris and twice in New York —— +02. ——__ THE INDIAN DELEGATION.

The recent snow storms in Montenegro have caused great distress and in many districts the people are suffering from famine. In some places the mercury fell to eleven degrees below zero, Fahrenheit. The government is doing everything it can to relieve the suffering. In striking contrast with the weather in other parts of the country is the extreme mildness that prevails at Dulcigno on the Adriatic. In that fortunate town the weather is soft and balmy and violets are in flower. —————2e “9 ‘France and the McKinley Tariff. “""PitHing the course of a recent interview Gen. ‘ktlind E. King, the American consul general at Paris, said that the opposition in France to the McKinley tariff act was decreasing. A number of manufacturers and importers in the United ‘Std\es hurried up the French export trade six monthe ago, so that a large amount of goods reached the United States before the McKinley act went into effect. This, said the consul general, accounts for the decrease in the con- sular buainess noticed for the early season of the year. “‘Now at this and some of the other consulater,” said Mr. King, ‘more business has been done than during the corresponding period of 1890." ‘The McKinley tariff, accord- tug to Consul General King, has’ not burt French trade, The exports to the United States, he says, ix greater than ever before. ‘This, he adds, is expecinily the case as regard the goods manufactured atSt. Etienne and Lyons, Stas eters occa The Duke Will Not Wed. Paris is once more talking about the Duc D'Orleans and the Princess Marguerita. The last time it was the breaking of their engage- ment. Now itis the reason for the rupture. ‘The story runs that it is Lady De Grey who is primarily responsible for it,as she told the duke of the ill results that follow the marrying of cousins. With a view to testing the accuracy of this statement the young man wrote, toa celebrated physician asking him to say upon his honor whether the marriage of such rela- tives would be likely to have injurious conse- uences from « physiological point of view. The doctor replied’ that medical Beience snr Proved the union of cousins. Armed with hi jocument the duc went to his father and told im point blank he refused to marry his cousin. ‘The relations between father and son have suf- fered s severo strain as the remit of this de- ination and now they do not speak as they pass by. The pr trip of the man to Persia is the out of thissiata of things. rose sees teat Arrested for Buying Lottery Tickets.
