THE EVENING CITY AND DISTRICT. €@ A weslthy London merchant gives the secret of his business success as follows: “I always feel happy when I am advertising, for then I know that, waking or sleeping, I have a strong though silent orator working for me; one who never tires, never makes mistakes, and who is certain to enter the households from which, if at all, my trade must come.” To secure the services of such an agent as this shrewd merchant referred to, advertise in Taz Evexrxa Sram.

There was alarge gathering of farmers at Sandy Springs, Md., yesterday, it being the oc- casion of the annnal convention for the consid- eration of matters of special interest to agri- culturista. Nearly 200 of the leading farmers of Montgomery county were present, besides | quite a number from the counties of Howard, Prince George. Anne Arundel and Harford. Mr. Henry C. Hallowell, who for the past cight- en years has been the presiding officer at these meetings, resigned this position on account of ill health. Mr. Benj. D. Palmer was chosen in his place. The secretaries were Francis Snow- den and Chas. E. Bond. Practical questions of the farm and crop raising were discussed and many valuable suggestions were elicited. ‘THE COUNTY FAIR QUESTION. The question as whether it would pay the average farmer financially to take part in| county fairs was the theme of an interesting | debate. Mr. Edward P. Thomas maintained the negative. He thought the farmers would do beter to read the newspapers, rome good agricultural paper and attend to his farm than | spend his time at fairs where poor speeches, games of chance and scrub horse races are the principal attractions. He thought that the av- ‘MR. INGALLS DEFEATED. ‘W. A. Peffer Supported by a Majority of the Kanras Legislature. The defeat of Senator Ingalls was foreshad- owed in the dispatches to T#x Star yesterday. The two houses of the Kansas legislature bal- loted separately for United States Senator. Mr. W. A. Peffer, the nominee of the Farmers’ Alliance, received 98 votes and Hon. John J. Ingalls, republican, the present Senator, 58 votes. Mr. Peffer had a majority in the house and Mr. Ingalls carried the senate. IN THE HOUSE. The house was half hour late in assembling. The attendance of spectators was senate’s chief clerk appeared at 11 o'clock and | serge rs from the senate that the jouse return for further consideration to the senate ite concurrent resolution providing for a joint session of the two houses today at noon for the purpose of electing a United States Senator. The request was refused by an over- whelming vote. Mr. Douglass of Sedgwick moved for n recon- sideration of the resolution and the granting of the nest. The debate developed the fact that the Alli- ance feared that the request of the senate con- cealed a snare. The motion was finally voted down. There were no nominating speeches. The result of the bellot was: W. A. Peffer, alliance, 96; Hon. J. J. Ingalls, 23; Gen. George W. Blair, 5. IX THE SEXATE. At noon the senate proceeded to ballot for Senator. There were no nominating speeches. ‘The vote was: Hon. J. J. Ingalls, 35; W. A. Peffer, 2; G. W. Blair. 1; Senator Kelley (rep), 1; Congressman Morrill, 1. Senator I was declared the choice of the senate consid- erable enthusiasm. There was some talk of the sonate declini to meet with the house in representative hall. Speaker Elder has issued all the passes to out- siders, and the house declined to return the senate joint session resolution to be amended soasto permit Lieut. Gov. Fell to also issue passes. HOW PEFYER WAS NOMINATED. The alliance caucus that nominated Judge erage fair was used largely to advertixe the aaanufacturers of farm implements avd the farmer paid for this advertisement. Maj. | Heary E. Alvord, the president of the Mary- land Agricultural College, criticised fairs and | said that he had not attended ono in the state where he would be willing to have a son of his | end six hours. Lessons of immorality, he | re on every hand and he thought that | should be made clean aud then best results would follow. In| opinion of Mr. Charles Abert | the fairs were simply used as a cloak for! horse racing and ite attendant evils. ‘There | was nota fair, he said. held in Montzomery here he would be willing to take his y Milier ¢ fairs, and | . Hallowell made an able defense of fairs, A DEFENSE OF TRE FArR. He said that there is nothing which pays the | farmer better than to go to the average county | fair. He thought that attendance on such oc-! casions takes the farmer out of himself, it| shows him something of tke world, and it takes | some of the conceit out of him. which is the | bane of his existence. say that farmers are not benefited by any ans which brings them together. The question as to the best means of separat- ing party polities from county affairs, in order that citizens may receive better resnits for the money expended. waa widely discussed. great majority of the speakers appeared dis- satisfled with the present district system of the | counties and with county commissioners and advocated the township system in their stead. Yhile it wus admitted that this would not re- move partisanship, it was claimed that the money collected in taxes would be expended by one’s neighbors and all accounts would be sub- fect to the strictest serutiny. ‘The whole mat- ter wes finally referred to a committee. | Chairmen of committees on creameries, sheep raising and potato seab and rot reported the results of their investigations, and the sec- Tetaries of the Farmers’ Enterprise and Mont- gomery farmers’ clubs made reports of their years” work. The rigkts of farmers in the Washington markets Was discussed and a committee was appointed to take into consideration the whole matter, make test cases before the Washington courts, and, if necessary, complain to Congress if their rights are infringed upon. | On motion of Mr. J. Thomas Clark, President Palmer wus authorized to appoint a committee of five to represent the Monisomery farmers at the immigration convention authorized by Governor Jackson to be held in Baltimore on February 18 next. Other topics of interest were discussed and the convention then adjourned. ROCKVILLE RUMORS. Depressing Effects of the Keeent Blizzard— Other Interesting Items. Correspondence of The Evening Star.

SALD TO BE IN SYDNEY. A Friend of Ray Hamilton Insists That He is Alive. The Philadelphia Times today publishes a story in substantiation of the report of Robert Ray Hamilton being alive and living in the Antipodes under an assumed name. ‘The story as told in the Times is as follows: “Kobert Ray Hamilton is alive and is now living in Sydney, New South Wales, where he | has begun life over again under an assumed name.” This statement was made yesterday to a Times reporter by an intimate friend of Mr. lamilton’s and the truth of it was vouched for by several letters which he has received from the latter since his alleged death. ‘The gentleman who made the above statement has been an intimate friend of Robert Ray Hamil- ton since his boylicod daysand, although they have drifted apart so ice then, their cordial relations have a een maintained. ‘The name of Mr. Hamilton's friend is with held at his own request, but he is a well-known naval officer and recently distinguished himself in the coast survey service by discov- ering the true source of the gulf strea this “friend, who, during Mr. Hamilton's days at Atlintic City following the stabbing of Nurse Donnelly by the woman whom the courts recently declared was not the latter's Wife, stood by and relieved him as fer as pos- sible of the miscries that were then heary upon it was dark After the conviction of the so-called Mrs. Hamilton it was by the advice of his friend that ‘Mr. Hamilton purchased the ranch on Snake river and went there to live.

Discussing the Pope's Successor—Rict at the of “Therinider.”” An Associated Press from Rome says that the Vatican has been advised that the Italian government was occupying itself diplo- matically with the approaching conclave, in order to prevent the election of a pope un- favorable to official Italy and favorable to France. Signor Crispi, the prime minister, Was president of the council in 1878, at the time of the election of Leo XiII. This time he hopes to exercise greater infinence on the ex- ternal conditions of the ballot. At the Vatican ‘The | they appear to be very skeptical and serene in this respect; first, because the pope enjoys perfect health, and secondly, because the Sacred College is not, as formerly, ox; to the interference of courts or cabinets. A highly placed who will certainly play a _ in the tature conclave said in Personage onderating part this connection: “The times have passed when the cardinals accepted the veto of the. mon- archies. The church is henceforth refractory to those encroachments. She turns more and more toward the democratic ideal, toward the law of liberty for ail. ‘The United’ States exert profound influence in this respect on the transformations of Catholicism in Europe. * * “The interzationalizanon of the holy see will certainly be one of the great facts of Catholicism in the twentieth century. Rome will have universalized herself in ihe same degree as Christianity becomes Romanized. From this it is evident that the pore will no longer be exclusively Italian. A foreign pope in a situation where the Vatican will continue to live side by side with the Quirinal, especially conciliation takes place, will inevitably pose as the visible expression of the liberty of | the Vatican and of its separation from national interesta. “As to the electors of the next conclave in Italy, the following cardinals are named: Cardi- nai’ Battaglini and Cardinal Capecelatro, at Rome, Cardinal Rampolia and Cardinal Monaco. Abroad are mentioned Manning, Gibbons, Lavigorie. Manning and Gibbons have espe- cially risen in ecclesiastical opinion dur- i these latter time: The enlightened Catholic community considers the general ac- ceptance of these two prixces of the church as the most adapted to the needs and to the con- ditions of these so complicated and so variable times.” ANGERED BY A PLAY. After the performance of Sardou's ‘Thermi- dor” in Paris on Monday night there was a riot in the streets near the theater, caused by the disorderly conduct of the extreme partisans of revolution, who were ejected from the the- ater. ‘They hissed the audience as they left the theater and wn with Sardou,” “Long live the republic.” The cause of their dissatisfaction was Sardou’s denunciation of | the excesses of the revolution. In the streets a free fight followed between the extremists and the police, and it was with difficulty that the latter managed to keep a passage through the enraged crowd for the audience. During the disturbance fifteen arrests were made among the most violent of the rioters, but orly two extremely wild agitators were held in cus tody after the crowds had been dispersed. ill ask the chamber of deputies to sup- ress “Yhermidor” on the ground that it is able to lead to rioting. M. Reinach will op- pose the motion on the ground that the sup- prossion of the play would be an attack upon the liberty of the drama, as well as an attuck ‘upon art. ‘M. Sardou said in regard to the disturbance: “Tt was not my intention to produce a reac- tionary plzy, but a piece in harmony with hon- est republica: principles, which do net approve of the horrors of the guillotine. It is because Lreprove them publicly and denounce the tac- tics of the revolutionists of the reign of terror that the revolutionista of today hissed “Iher- midor.’ In ‘La Patrie,’ ‘La Haine’ and ‘Dora’ 1 undertook the apology for an honest repub- lic.

After breaking a number of windows and driving the loyal men away, matked railway strikere at Strathavon, Scotland, on Monday ran one of the locomotives into a turn-teble pit and derailed ancther ne in such a manner that it will require considerable labor to again lace the locomotive shed in working condi- |! tion. In addition to there acta of violence and in epite of the police who are patroling the lines, the strikers have gathered on or near the railroad bridges at Wemysa bay, near Wemyss Castle, on the Firth of Forth, and stoned ihe firemen and engineers of passing trains. Sev- eral firemer and engineers have consequently beer. disabled. ‘The raitroad tracks below Greenock were found to be covered with soit soap, making isimpossible for a train to pass until the rails had been cleaned. ANCLO-AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. The Anglo-American Archwological Socicty is now in session in Rome, under the presi- dency of Exrl Dufferin, the British ambaasador. Mr. Porter, the American minister, delivered the inangural address, in which he dilated wpon the value of the study of archiology in Nome in ciearing up the history of the city. Contin- uous archeological discoveries in Ttaly had done much, he said, to elucidate the history of the times of Cicero and Cesar and other per- sons of ancient Rome. Mir.

Prosperous Settlement of Over Fifty Families. | The only Mormon church and Mormon set- flement in the south is in Clay county, Ala. While hundreds of Mormon elders are at work making convertsin various places in the south, atall other points the converts are rounded up and shipped off to Utah once every year. Near Rocky Mount post office, in Clay county, there is a strong Mormon church, with nearly 100 members, and services aro held every Sun- day. There are over fifty families of Mormon converts in the locality of Birmingham. In 1881 Elder George Mootry went to Clay county and began to preach and teach Mor- monism. He was very successful in making converts and the following year was joined by Elders Taylor and Harris. Two ycars’ worl netted some fifty converts, and then arrange- ments were made to send them all to Utah. Vhen it came to leaving home and friends for- ever more than half the new converts backed out. Ther. the three elders decided that the ficld was too fruitful to be given up so soon_and they at once made arrangements to establish a permanent church. One of the converts do- nated the ground and they all joincd in the work of cutting logs and building the house of worship. In the summer of 1884 the church was completed and since that time the little Mormon settlement has grown and prospered to the entire sutistaction of the elder. Con- verts who will go are sent to Utah, but those who prefer to remain are allowed to do so. ‘The law officers of thecounty have kept a clove watch on the converta and elders, but if po- lygamy is practiced it is done very secrotly.

ONE REASON OF ITS GREAT SUCCESS. ‘The success of Fanny Davenrort in ‘*Cleopatra” was one of the createst aciuievements of the Americanstage. No little of the success was due to the art of the actress: and ber liberality of management. Thy production was uistorteally correct, even tothe exact color of Cieo- pucra's hair. Upon this Miss Davenport writes: “In presenting Sardon's ‘Cleopatra’ I was anxious that it should be complete in every detail. It was nec- essary, therefore, to obtain the beautiful ‘Titian shade of hatr, end I found it possible to do this oniy by the uid of your In»perial Hair Kegenerator. The result of the xppiication of the Regenerator proved most satis- factory, the color obtained being pertect!y natural and all that could be desired, besides leaving the hair bewutiful and glossy. “Sy satistaction with the Regenerator is enhanced because 1 know it is perfectly harmless, thefore I uave ne hesitation in cordially indorsing it. Inthe dram- atic profession ‘tis invaluable." FANNY DAVENPORT. ‘The Imperial Regenerator restores gray hair to its natural color or produces any desired shade. Send ‘sample of hatr snd it will be regenerated to the Cleo- Patra or any other shade free of charge. Sold by F. P. MERTZ, Washington. stdwes AUCTION SALES. FUTURE Days.
