CILY AND DISTRICT. No other paper published has anything like a third as many readers in the city of Washington as has Tux Evextva Star, and no Other one has yet smpported its claims by an Affidavit of its circulation FOR A UNITED CHRISTENDOM. Rev. Dr. Bartlett on the Subject of Protest- aut and Catholic Co-operation. REMARKS CALLED FORTH BY KIS RECENT AP STMENT AS A DIRECTOR OF & ROMAN CATHO- Lic INSTITUTION—ME THINKS IT 18 TIME TO LET BYGONES BE BYGONES. Bartlett, D.D., pasto Presbyterian Church of the House of the Good Shepherd, » Roman Catholic charity, was regarded as an unusual thing. Dr. Bartlett has accepted the appoint- ment. The comment that arose over this inci- dent has led to the p ieation by Dr. Bartlett narrent number of the Christian Umon of the following article under the heading, “Christians Working for Humanity. Can Protestants and Roman Catholics Co-operate?’ Ought they so to work? Do they work? Yes, unanimously, to both questions. ‘That settles many pressing difficulties if we do not flinch from the conclusion. The Protestant branch of —christendom, . work. There can be of this. The creed variations and al differences and the methods so non-vital to Christian charac- hat today the Protestant working forces ne army al regiment and the Baptists ve insisted on keeping up one length “of we itt the middie of the field asa kind of ex- ive protest, but as the remainder of the moved on both sides there is 1 restraint upon free intercourse, ialy none in the most important depart- ts of Christian activity. The assemblies under one name or another which have con- vened in the city of Washington this fall have Cemonstrated that. Take off the label and you couid not identify the denominations in their scussions on the pressing questions of ur. Protestant army is practically one. Are at the other grand divisions Christian bost are indifferent and istlated from fellowship? This is a day in il branches of the church are passing al of re recognized religious bacillus of the era. The wisest doctors seek to cure,not by extermination, but by guidance. ‘The conventions which gather in these interests do not originate with They are the results of a wide- The revolution has gone 4 coutrol before the convention is called. It accepts the fact. The question of the con- ¥ention is, how much and of what kind? = universal travail, this groaning which ng for utterance, the Roman church bas not escaped. The loss of the pope's tem- | power under the providence of Massini, or Emmanuel, Cavour, Garibaldi and Ga- vazzi, 1 believe will prove a blessing for which some clear-beaded pope will thank God in the near future, as the enormous grandeur of Christ s proclamation, “My kingdom is not of ‘this world,” startles him. ‘The Koman Catholic church is putting itself enrapport with this mineteenth-century environ- ment in Europe and the United States and else- where. The pope's encyclicals, though at first Wavering, are now firm im recognition of the mighty socialistic upheaval, the significant labor Problem. The sermon is becoming more prom- inent in worship, more of the vernacular is em- jim tue service, a preaching of Christ cru- d pure and simple is more frequent. See im italy the zealous Franciscan monk, Padre Agostino da Montefeltro, filling the great cathedrals by preaching the simple Gospel. Count Enrico di Campello, an Italian noble- man, but recently a canon in St. Peter's, a stir- Ting orator, is leader of the Roman Catholic re- form movement, Literature is more free and full. The publi- estion of the life of Christ in parts in Milan is conducted by Signor Boughi, and has an initial subscription list of 20,000. Sonzogno, a wealthy Italian, is printing theMartini Bible in leaflets. with illustrations and brief commentaries, with the consent of the pope and under the en- couragement of 90,000 subscribers. In a recent interview with our most excellent esmanlike minister to Italy, who is on @ vacation visit home, Le speaks hopefully and intelligently of the italian problem. Read this from current periodical, under the caption “Our Shame:” “The last council of Baltimore put a stigma on the liquor busi- ness for Catholics which cannot be removed. * * * The public opinion of the times is so much against it that the very children are ashamed of the father who keeps a grog shop. His character counts for nothing in sucha business. It would be forever a stain upon his good name.” It then quotes the names of the liquor sellers on the present board of N York aldermen, twelve in number, and sa; “They are Catholic almost to a man; perhaps eight Catholics on the city’s legislative board, all liquor sellers. They will do all in their power for the spread and continuance of liquor selling. Whatis the council of Baltimore to them Is this « sectarian assault of some politician for party purposes? No, it is from the “Koman Catholic Keview ” Read this from an address before Roman De theological students: “History has a rev committed by Christian priests and princes. This is God's lesson to us. It is outlined in the history of every individual of His church from the sayagery of St. Peter pulling his sword to chop off the servant's ear down to the eruel shooting of Hugo Bassi. Why do Catholic writers seek to cover up the horrors of St Bartholomew, the crucities of an inquisition which burned the flesh of human beings made in God’s likeness or the self-suficient wisdom which refused to recognize the truths dis- covered by Galileo? Even today in New York you wait in vain before Catholic altars for sermons commensurate with the subject against corrupt city rule and the evils of unhmited drinking saloons, although there are Catholics who are fully responsible for the existence of both these evil What is the use after this of reminding the Romanists of the “false popes” and “the con- tradictory infallibility” aud blazing persecu- tions of a past age? We do not care to face our t persecutions and holy murders like the yarning of Servetus. Why not let bygones be bygones and go to work together for Christ Jesus? We agree on the standard moralities and charities, we agree on the essentials of Testimony Given by Mrs. Worrell Regarding the Poisoning of Mrs. Barnaby. In the trial at Denver yesterday of Dr. Graves for murder, in sending a bottle of poison to Mrs. Barnaby, Mrs. E. 8. Worrell, jr., gave some very damaging testimony against Dr. Graves. She wason the stand during the entire session. A rigid cross-examination failed to shake her testimony. She said she became acquainted with Mra. Barnaby last January, when she arrived in the city with Mra Worrell on her trip to California. Mrs Barnaby re- mained to attend the wedding of the witness. She next saw her in April, when she returned from California. Witness remembered the arrival of thedeadly bottle at her house, but could not say that she had seen it before. She thought, however, it | contained whisky, for she had beard some one say it did. While Mra. Barnaby was at her house she and the witness and her husband and Mrs. Worrell, sr., visited Mr. Worrell's ranch near Morrison. They went by carriage. They spent their time at the ranch in the house. Mrs. Worrell, sr., was not very hungry and did not eat much, but Mrs. Barnaby seemed to be very hungry and ate a hearty meal. She remem- bered this trip well because that night both ladies were taken ill. She was questioned by the physicians. The party returned from the ranch about 6 o'clock that night. Witness and her husband stopped at his office and Mra Barnaby and Mrs. Murrell took a 22d avenue cer home. Mr. Worrell stopped at tho office to get his mail. When witness and he arrived home the two ladies were very ill. They asked Mrs. Worrell what was wrong. She replied that Mrs. Barnaby had mixed two whisky toddys and they bad drank them and had be- come ill. Witness burried into Mrs. Barnaby and found her in bed. Mra. Worrell was retching and exclaimed: “Iam burning up.” She did not think the whisky was right, and Mre. Barnaby said: “Nonsense, if anything were wrong I would be sick, too.” A few minutes later Mrs Barnaby was taken sick with the same symptoms, and. became worse, and continued to sink until she died. Dr. Graves arrived on the Friday after her death and said he had been delayed because he had missed connections and was ill at Chicago. _ He was very much excited, and ac- cused the Bennetts of sending the fatal bottle. At the depot, where the remains were to taken east, he offered irs. Worrell some whisky, for she was ill, but she turned away in horror. ‘MRS. CARRIER TESTIFIFS. Mrs. Carrier was put on the stand after the the noon recess. She told a thrilling story of her conversation with Mrs. Barnaby as the latter lay almost at the point of death. She said that she inquired of the deceased if the Bennetts coula e sent the dose. Mrs. Barnaby replied that they could not have done so. “We were the best of friends,” she said, “and I expected to spend next summer at their home in the Adiron- othe the expiri en, after @ pau expiring woman said: “*Cam it be possible that Dr, Grates would do such a thing?” “I don’t know,” replied her attendant. “Was he remembered in your first will?” The reply was that he had been remembered. The peculiar actions of Dr. Graves at the Union depot, when the funeral party started east with the remains, were recounted by the witness. The doctor refused to associate with the other mourners, saying that he was di: tracted and that they must excuse him. The witness reiterated the touching scenes uttend- ing the dying hour of the poisoned woman. She recognized all of the mourners that stood about her and after she was too weak to speak to them she still smiled upon them and then, the witness said, “turning her face to the moun- tais, she smiled sweetly and breathed her last. The spectators were in tears when Mrs. C rier finished her testimony. Mr. J. H. Conrad, the son-in-law of the deceased, arose and left the court room. He had been overcome by his emotions. Then Mr. E. 8. Worrell, jr., was called and was on the witness stand when court adjourned for the day. He told about Mrs. Barnaby de- siring to invest her money in Denver aud take her property out of the control of Dr. Graves. He brought the fatal package to his residence for the decewsed. Then was recounted the agonizing hours of the sick bed, the death, the barial and the arrival of Dr. Graves and the departure of the funeral train en route to Providence. AMERICAN PORK ALL RIGHT. Minister Botticher of Germany Says That no Trichina Bas Been Found In It In the German reichstag yesterday Herr Botticher, minister of the interior, said that no trichine had been found in pork im- ported from the United States wince the bill woviding for the inspection of such pork had me a law. ig ‘The Disabled Steamship Kansas. ‘Thirty-seven passengers taken in mid-ocean from the disabled steamship Kansas have ar- rived at New York. A cable dispatch has been received stating that the disabled steamer had been picked up and towed by the German steamship Wanhrahm, but bad been lost again by the hawser parting. —— +00 ‘The engine of a Phitadelphia und Reading rail- road freight train crashed into a traction car at 12th and Willow streets, Philadelphia, about 6 o'clock last night. The street car was crowded with people returning home from work, and the conductor of the street car did not notice the approaching train ‘The engine struck the rear part of the car as it was passing over the track, demolishing the car and breaking nearly all the giass in the windows Most of the pa: sengers were more or less injured by the flying pieces of glass. The only persons badly hurt were Mamie Bryan and siamie Green, who. after their wounds were dressed, were ‘taken to their homes. ————_<0--_—_____ Wills, the Englixh Dramatist, Dead. Wm. Gorman Wills, the English dramatist, died yesterday. He was born in 1828, in county Kilkenny, Ireland, and waa the author of many popular plays, including “Eugene Aram,” “Charles the First” (produced in 1872, and which established the reputation of Mr. Henry Irving), “Nell Gwynne,” “William and Susan,” &c. Mr. Wills was also the author of a number of novels, including “The Wife's Evidence” anc “Notice to Quit.” which have been reproduced im the United States, ESCAPED FROM THE SOUDAX. Prisoners Captured by the Mabdl Make Among those who thus fell into the hands of the rebela in 1883 were the members of the Austrian Soudan mission, who Were captured shen Kordofan was taken by the hordes of the mahdi. After their capture they were con- veyed to Omdurman, where they were held close prisoners. Among those taken prisoners were Father Ohrwalder and Sisters Caterina, Chinearina, Elizabeth and Venturini. For eight years they awaited a favorable opportunity to make their escape, and at last the opportune moment arrived. ‘They immediately took ad- vantage of it and set out on their journey toward civilization. They wei pursued by the Arabs, but managed to elude them and finally reached Korosko, near Wady- Halfa, where they wero safe from recapture. They were greatly exhausted by their journey across the desert. No details of their life among the desert tribes have been received, but it is believed that when they fully recover they will be able to tell a most interestin; story of their adventures among the fanati Arabs. The escaped missionaries have practically been held in captivity since the massacre of El Obeid, in November, 1883, when Hicks Pacha and a force of 6,000 Egyptian troops under British officers were utterly routed and killed almost to « man by the Arabs ied by the mahdi, ‘The victory of the Arabs led to the siege of Khartoum, the gallant defense of that place by Gen. “Chinese” Gordon, to the British opera- tions up the Nile for the relief of Khartoum, to the brave general's death owing to the fail- ure of the British columns to reach Khartoum in time to succor him, and to the eventful re~ treat of the British troops after having cost England many lives, much treasure and waste of energy, and all to no purpose at all, unless it was to demonstrate the faci that party dis- putes in England aud the red tape machinery of the war office were ullowed to clash to the extent of bringing about the death of one of the most gallant ‘Englishmen who ever drew 8 sword. The experiences of Father Ohrwalder and Sisters Chinearne and Venturini during the past eight years or so should prove most inter- esting reading. —+e2—_____ THE SPIKIT OF "76.

Commissioner Lane of the department of agriculture of Alabama has issued a circular to every state agricultural commissioner in the cotton growing states for the purpose of call- ing a convention of the farmers of the cotton growing states to consider the expediency and practicability of decreasing the acreage of cot- ton in the south. i Being deeply impressed with the conviction that this demand is moat imperative and action ought not to be delayed I respectinlly . ask your immediate con- sideration” and through you that of the cotton growers in refererce to this sutject and the urgent necessity of xn eurly meeting for the purpose of discussing and if possible arriving at some conclusions that will accomplish the desired result. He nunes Montgomery as tha inget available pluce and Wednewiny, the 6th of Jahunry, 1802, as the time of meeting of the convention. Claims of Minnesota Republicans. Prominent republican politicians of Minne- sota declare that the northwest intends to make 4 strong bid for the wecond place on the repub- lican national ticket. The man upon whom they are practically united is Gov. W. R Mer- riam of Minnesota. It is claimed in his bebalf that he is very popularin Mirneapolif, the convention city, a weil as throughout the state, and that the local feeling cannot fail to make itself felt in the deliberationsof the convention. ‘This is aside from his uctual qualifications for the vice presidency, which are set out at length ad with a good deal of enthusiasm. His ad- ministration as governor is sid to be without a flaw, and the refunding of the state aebt is pointed to as one of his achievements, which entitlcs hum to great credit. Gov. Merriam is aman of considerable wealth and will be backed in the convention by such men as Thos, Lowery, Col. C. H. Graves, speaker of the Minnesots house, Mayor Sutpin of Duiuth, Col. Mullen of Wabash, and many other lead- ing republicaus. He will also without doubi be leurtily supported by all the local republican Papers, “Mis supporters claim that he ean have the votes of Montana and the two Dukotas, besides those of Minnesota, to start with, and his vote will increase as the contest goes on. —— +00 Chief Mayes’ Career. Joel R. Mayes, chief of the Cherokee nation, who died yeeterday, as announced in Tux Star, was born in the Cherokee reservation, Georgia, October 2, 1833. His father was white and his mother of mixed blood, being de- secended on her paternal side from James Adair, an Indian agent under George III. Joel was removed while a boy to the Cherokee reser- vation in Indian territor: uated from the C) and taught until the beginning of the civil war, when he enlisted im the confederate army. He held osition ot quartermaster during the war. He returned to the farm on Grande river in d was made county commissioner and k to the Chereokee court, « dual posi- tion he he'd for many years, Fax twe was county judge The meeting York, Jersey City and Brooklyn. It regular monthly pastoral meeting for counsel and discussion. The Rev. Dr. J. Y. Bates of New York had the hair, and he early recog- nized Mr. Knight, The startling proposition was embodied ina paper that ‘dealt with the condition of churches and of church work in the lower part of the city and compared with their condition in the upper districts. Mr. Knight urged the necessity of fighting the saloons with some of their own weapons— of providing counter attractions to the games of various vorts that attract young men to the bar. If drink may be sold by the aid of such attractions, argued Mr. Knight, why may not like things serv: as a bait to bring the young men under religious influence? All this had a familiar sound, for the min- isters present knew that the Young Men’s Christian Association does not scorn the aid of worldly allurements in prosecuting its work, but when Mr. Knight went on to unfold his plan there was e wiping of glasses and a prick- ing up of ears. Every church that bas a base- ment, he urged, should as speedily as possible fit it up with billiard tables or bowling — or both to compete with the attractions of the saloons. All thoro allurements, harmlessin themselves, were leading young men into evil ways, and the church would only be applying these lessons taught by the world if ft should employ like methods. The meeting heard Mr. Knight through in silence, and then came the discussion. The Rev. David Downey of slamaroneck and the Rev. Dr. John Reed of New York heartily agreed with Mr. Knight The Rev. Dr. J. A. Roche opposed the idea, and entered a strong protest against such a method of proselyting. Young men, he de- clared, could be lured from virtue, but not wheedled into piety. As a down-town pastor he defended the churches of that region, and called attention to the fact that his own church, that of Forsyth street, had prospered, while St. Paul's had been sold. ‘The Rev.

Mrs. Norcross, mother of Henry Norcross, the bomb thrower, says that a letter hasbeen found in her son's desk. She would not divulge the full contents of the note found, but stated that it removed all doubts from her mind and that of her husband that might have remained as to the identity of the bomb thrower. She gave the opening sentence of the note, which makes certain that Henry L. Norcross was the man who dropped the bag of dynamite in the office of Kiussel! Sage The sentence is: “I go to New York today to get $1,200,000. If I'do not succeed I shall kill my- ry As to the rest of the letter it may be inferred from a subsequent sentence which fell from the mother’s lips. “‘He was insane,” she said, ‘and made a martyr of himself in the interest of his inventionsand the good of society.” Mr.andMrs. Norcross wili go to New York in aday or two to claim the remains of their sou. It is believed that the remains will be cremated, as Henry Norcross expressed a desire to that effect in case he should die before his parents. ‘The New York coroner reports that the brain of tho man who threw the bomb is that of a lunatic. ‘The brain weighed more than the average, but was abnormally distorted. Any slight doubt as to whether Norcross was the bomb-thrower or not was removed yester- day by an examination of the bomb-thrower s teeth.
