The Standard Cocoa of the World 3 A Substitute for Tea and Coffee, ‘MADE BY SPECIAL PROCESS-THE BEST. Cocoa is of supreme impor- tance as an article of diet. Van Houten’s has fifty per' cent, more flesh-forming prop- erties than exist in the best of other cocoas. Van Houren's Cocoa “BEST& GOES FARTHEST” The tissue of the cocoa bean is so softened as to ren-; der it easy of digestion, and, at the same time, the aroma is highly developed. 8@- VAN HOUTEN'S COCOA (“ones tried, THE JAHRMARKT. It is Formally Oponed at the Light Infantry Armory. INTERESTING SPEECHES DELIVERED—ATTRACTIVE BOOTHS PRESIDED OVER BY MANY FAIR LADIES ARTICLES TO BE YOTED FOR—THE VARIOUS COMMITTEES IN CHARGE OF THE ARRANGEMENTS. What is a Jahrmarkt? A Jahrmarkt is a Jabr- markt, so it is said by those who know. Itis really nothing more or less than a general fair where people who have articles to sell take them to show them off before those who want to buy. So it isin the fatherland, but the one now in progress at the Washington Light In- fantry Armory is for the purpose of gathering in funds for the erection of a handsome new edifice for Concordia Church. Judging by the succest that attended the opening last night the church building fund stands a very good chance of being increased at a rapid rate. The armory was well filled early in the even- ing and the crowd continued to get larger until the great hall became the liveliest and bright- est sort of a place. There were pretty girlsand dsome matrons on all sides, ania thriving business was done in the sale of fancy articles and the canvassing for votes. ‘THE ATTRACTIVE BOOTHS. Around the walls were crected a number of pretty booths, where all sorts of things from a barrel of flour to a bunch of violets were on sale. Down the center of the hall ran a row of three booths, where perfumery, lemon- ade and flowers were the attractions that culled for the nimble dimes or quarters in a generous sort of way. ‘There wore also other stands seattored around the hall. It was a little after 8 o'clock when the fair was formally opened. The members of the executive committee, who have had charge of all the arrangements of the fair, filed up into the stand at one end of the hall and Mr. Anton Eberly, chairman of the invitation com- mittee, made the opening address. He spoke a few’ pleasant words for Concordia Church and for the good work the jahrmarkt is ex- pected to accomplish. In conclusion he intro- nced Re d address in German that was highly appreciated by those who understood it. COMMISSIONER ROSS OPENS THE FAIR. Commissioner Ross was then introduced as the one who would formally open the fair. He made an interesting and timely address, in which he told something of the congregation of old Concordia Church; how they lind ever been among the first toanswer any calls for aid, during the war, at the Chicago fire, the yellow fever plagues,’ the CMlarleston earthquake or the Johnstown disaster. Mr. Ross then formally pronounced the fair open and expressed the rope that it would be ea immense success. The members of the executive were later enter- tained at supper in the dining room and toasts were drunk to the Jahrmarkt, to Commissioner Ross, the press and to Mr. Breitbarth, the president, who, on account of illness, was un- able to be present at the opening of the fair, which he bad planned and worked so hard for. The Swiss minister was one of the guests at the supper. e executive committee is composed of the following: George Breitbarth, president: Rev. Ernst Drewitz, first vice president: Frederick Imhoff, second vice president; Edward W. Koch, secretary; Albert Grupe, treasurer; John L. Vogt, Anton Eberly. Heury Ptister. William G. Powers, Christ.

Blaine got the first vote for the latter and Baby McKee followed with halfa vote. and then came Grover Cleveland and Leland Stan- ford with one each. The iadies at each of tlie stands were dressed in distinctive styles, all the gowns being very pretty and many of them quite elaborate. ‘THE LADY ASSISTANTS.

Serpe Pinto’s Views on the Recent | Beginning the Portuguese Revolt. said that the revolt of troops in Oporto Satur- day was arranged to occur simulaneously with the sixth member from the capital. These Lisbon members nevor stirred a hand in the matter. If the revolt in Oporto was a republi- can outbroak, the republicans must have had an exceedingly defective organization.” Anumber of prominent politicians went to the royal palace yesterday in order to give ex- ression of their loyalty to the throne. King Sharles, in receiving the deputies from Oporto, asked them to thank the thabitants of that city for their loyal attitude during the revolt. Prof. Atbuquerque ha® been arrested. charged with having been concerned in the revolt. All the prisoners will shortly be tried by court- martial: Twe hundred and twenty-five rifles were found coucealed in houses around the = hali in Dom Pedro's sqnare. Military we month. Several fugitives of the namber of those engaged in Saturday's insurrection of garrison troops were captured yesterday on the Spanish frontier. The official report of the re- sults of Saturday's uprising says nino persons were killed and forty-eight wounded during the fighting. ‘EMIX PAYHA'S WILLFULNESS. A White Book is published in Berlin contain- ing Emin Pusha’s reports to the middle of No- vember last. ‘These reports form a record of Emin’s extravagance and disregard of instrac- tions. Emin ignored the order to founda station on the Victoria Nyanga; instead, he hoisted his flag at Tabora, in spite ‘of Commis- sioner Schmidt's efforts ‘to dissuade bim, the commissioner objecting on the ground of the great expense. Emin spent 120,000 marks, in- stead of the 60,000 marks allowed him. He re- peatedly complains of the inwufiiciency of his supplies, owing to which, he says, his men were becoming mutinous. He therefore declines the responsibility for the failure of the expedition. THE SPANISH ELECTIONS. Revised returns from Spain show the election of $14 government candidates, 60 liberals, 35 republicuns and 7 Carlists. No socialiste have been returned. A feature of the election was the abstention of the laboring classes and an- from the contest. ‘The large conser va- tive successes are ascribed to dissension be- tween the liberals und the republicans. ‘Tho republicans cast 20,000 votes in Madrid, but did not succeed in electing a single member. A PURELY CATHOLIC PARTY PROPOSED. Cardinal Lavigerie, the archbishop of Algiers, has addressed a remarkable circular letter to the clergy of the archdiocese of Algiers. In this letter, while advocating adherence to the French republic, he pleads for the formation of a purely Catholic party, distinct from mouarchical and imperial elements,with which, he says, religion bas hitherto been identitied. He recommends that French priests adopt the program approved by the Vatican—recognition of the established form of government—in order to be ina better position to defend re- ligion openly. In addition he recommends that the priests should strive to separate Catholic action from that of the old parties; that they should not allow religion to be abused in order to perpetuate asatematic opposition, and that they should forget internal divisions so as to present a united front against sectarian op- pression. CHILIAN INSURGENTS AGAIN DEFEATED. Advices from Chili state that after a battle lasting several hours the regular troops have reoceupied Valparaiso. According to these ad- vices the insurgents lost heavily, and it is be- lieved that the revolt will be speedily uj pressed. President Bulmaceda has sent 2, troops to Ancud, on the Island of Chiloe,’ off which naval ‘engagement was fought re- cently. INMAN COMPANY'S MEN DISSATISFIED. The unionist workmen employed on the Inman Steamship Company's dock in Liver- pool have refused to work with non-union men. The result is that there is a temporary stoppage of work on the dock mentioned. The steamship company, however, it taking ener- getic action in the matter, and the strikers are rapidly being replaced with new hands who have no such objections to non-unioniste. FROZEN TO DEATH. Of a party of forty men engaged in reopen- ing communication with snow-blocked vil- lages between Dimitzana and Tripolitza, in the Morea, fifteen have been frozen to death, ed | 88d a number of others have been so badly frost bitten that they are not expected to re- cover. BERLIN POLICEMEN TALK “STRIKE.” The police of Berlin are holding meetings for the purpose of agitating the question of an in- crease of wages. They talk of striking if higher wages are not granted to them. VON CAPRIVI WILL REMAIX CHANCELLOR. An inspired note is published in Berlin deny- ing the truth of the report that Dr. Miquel will shortly relieve Chancellor von Caprivi of the Prussian premiership. JUSTIN M'CARTHY HOPEFUL. Mr. Justin McCarthy, speaking at Liverpool on the Irish question yesterday, said that if the minority would not yield to the majority it might as well disband. He was prepared to uc- cept any settlement “making for ‘peace and union. “The prospects of an agreement being reached were hopeful. RUSSIA WILL REASON WITH BULGARIA. Since the diplomatic agents of Germany and Austria protested against nihilists being pro- tected and employed in Bulgaria the Bulgarian government, instend of expelling persons desi nated by Kussia, took advantage of the oppor- tunity to expel'200 other persons, chiefly ex- officers of the Bulgarian army and Russophiles hostile to M. Stambouloff. "The Russian gov- erpment intends to take further diplomatic action against the Bulgarian government. SIGNOR CRISPI'S SUCCESSOR. The Marquis di Antonio di Rudini, who has been intrusted by King Humbert with the formation of a new Italian ministry, is Sicilian, like Signor Crispi, but by birth and the associ- ations of a lifetime is totally unlike his prede- cessor. He has long been a conspicuous mem- ber of the chamber of deputies, of which body he has been one of the vice presidents since 1884. When the late Signor Depretis’ so-called trasformismo, or ‘of the moderate mem= bers of both the right and left, was a new thing servatives. In view of the composition of the present chamber of deputies it is dificult to see how he can form ministry that will com- mand for any length of time a workin; majority unless he resorts to Depretis’ ol trasformismo device ond effects a coalition of the conservatives with the moderate left. ‘MRS. JAMESON MEETS TIPPOO TIB. ‘Tippoo Tib, the famous Arab chief of Cen- tral Africa, has arrived at Zanzibar. He was met there by the widow of Mr. Jameson, who is anxious to clear her husband's memory from the horrible cannibal story. ‘Nippoo Tb an- swered Mrs. Jumoson’s questions through an © | interpreter frankly and promptly.

Ernest Forbes, colored, who was convicted in Baltimore last week of a criminal assault about two months ago on Bertha Phipps in Anne Arundel county, was sentenced yesterday to be hanged in the jail yard of the county in which the crime was committed. Gov. Jack- son must fix the date of death. Forbes was AFFRAY, Josiah Willet Shoota D. M. Cobb and Has His Own Skull Fractured. The office of the South Brooklyn Steam En- gine Company, on Van Brant near Summit street, was yesterday the scene of a mysterious shooting affray, which may result in a double tragedy. About 11 o'clock Josiah Willet, fifty years old, of 275 President atrect, Brooklyn, walked into the office, and without saying a word stepped up to Delphin M. Cobb, one of the proprietots, who sat at the desk, and fired ashotathim. The bullet entered Mr. Cobb's right side. He fell from his chair to the floor, and before Willet could fire the second time Patrick Quinn, a workman in Cobb's employ, wrenched the pistol from his hand and struck him on the head with it, fracturing his skull. Neither Willet nor Cobb would make a state- ment to the police, and when Ambulance Sur- eon Buck arrived Cobb refused his services. le was taken to his home, 218 Carroll street, in coach. Willet was removed to the City Hospital and Quinn placed under arrest by Detective Ser- eant O'Rourke, us the doctor prortounced Willet's injuries dangerous, The police, who are making an investigation, learned that Cobb lived at Willet’s house about eight months ago, and it is likely that the shooting was the out- growth of some old feud. — yton, Ohio: EXPERT WITH THE CUE. taken to the Baltimore city jail for safekeeping, = = Ging to the threats to pas hhim by the pes’ Leading Billiard Players, Barring Schaefer | Ple of Anne Arundel ounty, and Slosson, Will Meet.

The girl's sis- ter ran home and told her parents. ‘They be- came so enraged that they went to the house and assaulted the teacher. Mr. Crazen struck Miss Lent with a school book and knocked her down. The enraged mother then grabbed Miss Lent by the hair, which was hanging loose over her shoulders, aud dragged her around the room until the cap of the skull was partially torn from its place. “With the aid of her hus. band the wife picked up the prostrated form of the teacher and threw it out of an open win- dow, the head striking astone.
