8 YOUNG WOMEN AND TEMPERANCE. Earnest Speeches at the Congregational Chureh Yesterday Afternoon. Ata meeting of the Young Women’s Chris- tian Temperance Union at the First Congrega- tional Church yesterday afternoon Miss Clara Parrish spoke on the influence and duty of young women in relation to temperance work. Miss Cora B. Thomas, superintendent of youn women’s work in the W.C.T.U., presided over the meeting. Miss Minionette Buckingham, president of the Calvary Baptist auxiliary, read a Seripture lesson, and Miss Clara MeF. Whar- ton led in prayer. urged the young ladies of her audience to boy- cott suitors who do not wear white ribbons, stating that their indifference caused many men drift into drinking habits. Never allow,” she said, “your lips to be hed by man’s lips that have touched the wine cup. She believed that the young women of the country had the power to abolish drunkenness and that she who refused to abstain from drink- ing cider could be httle surprised if her hus- band in after years refused to abstain from i toxicating liquor and brought misery and shame upon her. Mrs. La Fetra offered a resolution tendering to the family of the late Col. Shepard the sympathy of the W. C. T. U., which was ". Hughes of Arizona spoke of tem- perance work in that territory. He said there ‘was a great opportunity for the temperance people of the country to urge upon Congress the passage of a prohibitory law for the terri- tories, and this he thought could be done read- the Congressmen angi Senators voting ‘or the law would not stir up opposition among their constituents, whereas if they sliould at- tempt to take like action in their own states it would in many cases cause their defeat the next election. With one year of prohibition rule in Ariz people would be able to continue to enforce it when the territory should become a state. — & VERDICT OF ANSLAUGHTER Rendered by the Jury in the Case of Theo- dore G. Arnold. After being out an hour and one-half, the jury in the ease of Theodore G. Arnold, on | irial in the Criminal Court for the past two weeks for the marder of John Kramer on the 15th of iast June, returned a verdict at 5:15 Saturday afternoon of manslaughter, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. —_| Arnold evidently expected that the jury would acquit hita, as did his wife and friends, and the verdict was a great surprise to them. Mrs. | Arnold was not present in court when the ver- | dict was rendered, but was in the building. and | when she learned of the verdict the unfortunate | woman fainted, her husband’s conviction being | & terrible blow to her. The convicted man received the verdict with apparent czlmness, and did what he could to console his wife and | her sister. Although Arnold's counsel did not at the time give notice of a motion for a new trial they will do so, and every effort will be made to secure the desired second trial. The prisoner | was returned to jail, where he must remain | pending a decision on themotion. ‘The verdict | was the one generally expected by those who had foilowed the course of the trial. one of ac- of murder being thought to be im- probabie. The penalty for the crime of which Arnold stands convicted is imprisonment for not more than ten years or fine, or both. im the discretion of the court. A sentence of impris onment exceeding one year means the prisoner's commitment to the penitentiary. a A COLUMBIAN LIBERTY BELL. An Enterprise Projected by the Daughters of the American Kevolution. ‘The Danghters of the American Revolution are busying themselves now with the project of getting together the materials for a Columbian liberty bell, which is to be cast out of historic metal and used upon memorial occasions to remind all hearers of the events its tolling commemorates. ‘The responsibility of its production and the direction of its use have been placed in the hands of = committee of women representing each state and territory, one representative from each republic of the world, and a repre- sentative from the patriotic societies—Daagh- ters and Sons of the American Revolution, the Lyceum League of America, the Society of German Patriots, the Human Freedom League and kindred organuations. Its first notes are to be heard at the world’s fair. and it 18 proposed after the close of the exhibition to send the bell to Bunker Hill, Lib- erty Island. the battle field of New Orleans or | to San Francisco. or any place where any great | patriotic celebration is being heid until 1900, when it will sent to the exhibition at Paris. | When not in use in other places, it will return to | Washington under the eare of the Daughters of the American itevolation.

A Father's Love for His Child Induced Him to Forgive His Wife. ‘Many touching domestic dramas are brought to light in the big immigration building on El- | lis Island, in New York harbor. One of these took an unexpected turn the other day, when Col Weber, commissioner of immigration, re- oked his order to send back to Germany Mra. | Minna Lindner, who arrived on the Rbsetia from Hamburg. Mrs. Lindner was born at Daura, in Saxony,’ | twenty-seven years ago. Hert parents were | mong the wealthiest people there. Her beauty and the reputed wealth of her parents brought | her many suitors. Of these Emil Oscar Lindner | and Ernst Bester were the nfost favored by the | girl. Lindner was in business with his uncle, » manufacturer. Rester lived with his mother in a manse | which had belonged to his ancestors for years. | He was a tall, handsome fellow, much given to athletics and'a great favorite with the ladies. Minna fell desperately in love with him, but one dav they hada quarrel over some trifle. After this Ernst discontinued his visite at ‘Minna’s house. ‘Lindner now pressed his suit with ardor and reanded the young woman to accept him. Fine marriage took place sfx. yearsago. His wife's parents died soon after, leaving her $50,000, a great fortune in # small German town. Two years later Ernst stopped sighing j for bis lost ‘sweetheart and consoled himself with another one, whom he married. His wife died at the end of a couple of years. Minna’s | fortune helped her husband out of his financial | difficulties; business had gone wrong with him | and at the end of each year there was a heavy | los. Lindner finally decided that the cause of | his ill luck was the country itself and not lack of ry. ability. jecided to emigrate to America, and last April he transterred his business to Schenectady, N.Y. He. brought over machinery on which he bad to pay $2.60 duties. Minnaasked her hus- band to allow her to remain in Germany for a Year or 80, as she disliked to leave it for a new country. He so agreed and wrote frequent | letters to her, telling her of his prosperity in | Ii this country and urging her to. jom hi i Finally Linder received letters from friends at home with alarming news about f his wife toward ber for Hie added that if she aid go back to Danza and bring » accordingly came with her four-year- Carin: en the "haetia arrived at her pier in Ho- boken Mrs. Lindner received a cablegram from Bester entreating her to ree io him on the t steamer. She was taken to Ellis Island for examination and Matron Stuecklin discovered that she was soon to become a mother. ‘The busband arrived from Schenectady on Wednes- day and eagerly sought bis wife and child. When he found them Linder hugged and kissed his child. She is a pretty blue-eyed, laughing | little girl with long flaxen hair hanging over | her shoulders, ‘Then the immigration officers informed him of his wife’s condition. Lindner told his wife | she might go back to Germany, he would have nothing more to do with her, but would keep | the child. | Mrs. Lindner refused to give up the child, who clung to her mother, crying. “Don’t let them take me from yos, mamma!” All the father's entreaties were useless. He coaxed ad pleaded, but without effect. Col. Weber refused to separate the mother and ebild force. There was an affecting wene in Ci Weber's office. If Lindner would not take his wife she must be returned to Europe. went the child would go, too. Lindner’s heart was wrapped up in his wi some daughter, and for a long time there was a hard struggle within him. ‘Then he told Col Weber ne could not take his wife and hastily left the island. He spent two days trying to reconcile himself to the loss of both wife and daughter. ‘Meanwhile arrangements were made to send Mrs. Lindner and the child buck to Germany Saturday. Linduer could stand it no longe>. He went back to Ellis Island, and afier a long talk with Col.

Steady Growth of Good Reading Consequent Upon Liberal Legisintion in Massachusetts. ‘From the Century Magazine. From almost its first number this magazine has been in the habit of pointing out from time to time the great value of free public libraries as.9 means for spreading popular education. In an article in this department of the Century for June, 1892, we said: “A library is of more use in an educational way than a high school. The taste for good | reading is the true door to culture, and if a taste for good reading be once established in » young person, there is an absolute certainty of the attainment of a degree of culture which persevering years in school cannot give. It is not enough to have free schools, A wide- spread movement for libraries, which shall be ither wholly free or exceedingly cheap, would bea most wholesome one. The abolition of low-priced. high-rated productions, which we hope to see brought about by copyright, would leave the field free for libraries, and libraries would render American as well as English liter- ature of easy access to the humbiest. This hope about copyright is at last realized, and we are gind to see in many directions that its fulfillment has come at a very opportune movement is concerned. ‘THE MASSACHUSETTS LAW. It is most encouraging to learn that within | the past few yenrs there has been a steadily gtowing interest in this subject manifested in nearly every part of the country. The chief reason of this bas undoubted!y been the action of Mzssachusetts in creating a free public library publisher, whose zealous, intelligent and successful exertions have commanded the e nd excited the ambition of otther states.

Altogether these libraries con- tained about 2,900,000 volumes, or slightly more than the total population in’ the state. ‘The gifts of individu: money, not including gifts of books by libraries and library butldings, exceeded $5,500,000. Yet there were still 103 towns in the state which had no free public libraries. ‘Th many of which contained a deciiming population.

LIBRARIES MUST BE ABSOLUTELY FREE. It is urged with great ecrnestness by the leaders in the free library movement that in order to perform perfectly their high and use- fat mission all public libraries should be abso- lutely free: ‘The charging of a fee, however diminishes the usefulness of any mony of statistics point is conclusive. When the public of Springfield, which had been charging a small annua! fee. was made free in 1885 the number of card hoiders during the year increased from 1,100 to over 7,000, and the circulation of books | from: 41,000 to 154.000.

A careful ex- amination of the forward part of the vessel re- vealed the fact that the water had been forced in through the forward torpedo tube. At anchor this opening is a few feet above the water line, butet a high rate of speed it is almost completely buried in the sea. Constructor Nixon placed a water-tight buckler over it in piace of the temporary one and the leak gave no further trouble. question now arose as to how the compartment could be quickly emptied, for sea water and mess stores are not the most agreeal le ship- mates. Nixon cut the gordian knot by having asmall hole drilled through the steel deck. This drdined the compartment into another on the deck below—one that could not be injured j by the introduction cf a small amoant of water. Without further excitement the New Yor anchored at nightfall about seven miles to the northward of the breakwater.

Certain it is that his birth antedates the revoiutionary nor his friends know, but roughly estimated, and a liberal allowance made for the natural exaggeration of such matters, he must be at least 128 or 130 years of age. He is remarkable for his lucidity of mind,and though he can neither see, hear nor talk auch, what little he does say is clear and to the point. ‘The follow- ing is the brief account he gave of himself to a recent visitor: “I know nothing of my father and mother save ashas been told me.

Briefly stated, the case of the United States is ‘that the Alaskan fur seal is begotten, born and reared only upon the Pribylov or Sea Islands in the Bering sea, to which islands they return each spring to spend several months consorting together, in accordance with their rious attire; that while ut these islands the seals are cary Bese pea that discrimination can be ‘nd has been exercised: that while absent from the islands during migration, which reaches as far south as the coast of California, they land herd of fur seals; that because of these habits the sole property of the United States. ‘The methods ‘employed by the open sea seal- ers is attacked by the American government as destructive, wasteful and exterminating. It is claimed that a large percentage of the seals killed by open sea hunters are females, the ma- Jority of which are about to become or are mothers. The destruction of the vregzant female causés the death of the unborn young. The death of the mother seal, killed while in search of food in the waters of Behring sea, destroyed the offspring ou the Pribylov rook: eries. N It is further claimed that many of the seals shot in the open sea by hunters escape mortally wounded orsink before the hunter reaches them. Open sea sealing, it is argued, will | result in the destruction of the herd in the near | future. ted number of male As the seal is polygamous a nupiber of maies can be killed without ting the birth rate of the herd. Ou tnese facts the A n government | claims that from the ne the indastr; tablished on the Pribylov Islands the Uni States has the right to protect and presetve found, as the animals can only be Lille? ritory without denger of exterm - It is also claimed that owing to the long | period of gestation pelagic sealing cannot at ¥ time be otherwise than destractive, danger- | ous and wasteful and should therefore be pro- hibited. GREAT BRITAIN'S CASE. ‘The case of Great Britain, on the other hand, is that the Alaskan seals have not the character- istics of animals that can be made suifject to! property; that itis not certain they land only upon the Pribylov Islunds, oz that they do not intermingie with the Russian seal herd. of that they are pelagic in nature, and, therefore, should be treated as fish rather than land a mais; that many of the propositions essential to the position taken by the United States are un- proven or contrary to the facts. As to the pelagic sealing, it is claimed that the destructiveness and wastefriness have been greatly exaggerated, that it isa legitimate and proper method of taking seals, and that. it can prosecuted without danger of exterminating the herd. Much importance is also given by the British government to jurisdictional claims over Fering sen, but this appezrs to be treated by the United States as a secondary question. CONCEDED BY BOTH. Both nations concede that the seals have de- creased—the United States cha crease to the destruction of the producing sex by open-sea sealing, Great Britain claiming that the present condition hax been caused by the escessive number of mares killed on isiands and the injurious effect of the methods there employed. ‘These are the issues presented to the tribunal of arbitration. on which they are asked to give a decision, The question of damages is of minor importance ard cannot be determined until the principal questions are decided. oe Vee INST HIPPOLYTE, REVOLT AGA Insurgents Cross the Frontier From San Domingo and Fight the Haytien Troops. er long warfare between President Hip- polyte’s government and the factions opposed to his rule is now threatened, says a special cable dispaten from Kingston to the New York Herald. Insurgents have crossed from the Dominican frontier into Hayti and a batue has already been fought. ‘This new movement is likely to cause trouble with Sen Domingo and possibly war, should the present insurrection be quelled. A pro- tracted straggie is the present outlook, owing to the mountainous and unsettled condition of the country. ‘The insurgents have been secretly gathering strength in San Domingo for some time. Enough was known of their plana, however, to cause considerable uneasiness in govern ment circles. The all-important point of the lace where they igtended to cross was not Enown to the authorities. ‘The guards at the frontier were doubled and it is probable that the reported battle occurred between some of these forces and the insurgents. RESULT IN DOUBT. The bottle is said to have been a decisive one, but the result is not stated. Aw the news comes from Port au Prince, the seat of President Hippolyte's government, the inference desired to be conveyed is that the authorities were yie~ torious. This statement must be taken with consider- able allowance, because the same dispatch bai dice being hurried to the frontier. tever may be the outcome of the present conflict it can only add to the troubles of the unhappy island. If the insurgents win the load of deb; incurred by the war. which wonld cer- tainly prove a iarge one in that case, will be a heavy burden for the poor Haytiens: If the government should prove victorious there will undoubtedly follow a demand for indemnity on San Domingo. and incase of refusal another bloody and expensive war might ensue. ASSAULT ON KING HUMBERT. A Crazy Man Throws a Stone, but the Mis- sile Misses Its Mark. Rome was thrown into a state of great excite- ment on Saturday over an asecuit upon King | Humbert by an insane man. Fortunately the king was not injured, as he dodged the stone which was thrown at him. The assailant being unarmed, he was quickly secured by the people | in the street, who turned the man over to the police. Later he was examined by two physi- cians, who pronounced him insane. When the people heard of the incident an immense crowd assembled and cheered the king with frantic enthusiasm, and all the way tothe palace the scene was like a triumphal progress. King Humbert gracefully acknowl- the ovation and was evidently deeply moved by the evidence of loyalty on the part of his subjects. ‘The assailant has been identified as a relig- tous fanatic named Berardi. He was sentenced to imprisonment for seven years for a murder committed a number of years ago. In 1882 he was released trom prison and emigrated to America, the authorities thinking that they had got rid of him forever. Berardi, however, re- cently returned to Rome. He has acknowl- jury acquitted een on trial Part in anarchist riots at Villa October last. The riot was a twenty-four anarchists who had for Michele in 27, 1893—TEN’ PAGES. EDUCATIONAL.
