He was succeeded on the platform by Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie, editor of “The Out- look" and author of “My Study Fire.” Mr. Mabie was in a more serious vein, but charmed his auditors for an hour with a discourse on “Literature.” He spoke with a full, rich knowledge of his subject, in a splendid voice, and though he told no funny stories and did not aim to make his hearers laugh he made a very deep im- Pression. He spoke of the eternal fresh- ness of life that there is to be found in the great books and of the wonderful arts and thoughts that have gone to make up those works. He led his audience here and there in the flowery fields of literature and gave them some excellent advice in a kindly way for their guidance in the choosing of their mental pabulum. These talks were the first installment in the “C. C.” course that has been prom- ised this winter. There are to be six of them in all and include some famous names. Judging from the first night au- dience, which nearly filled the hall, the course will be highly successful, and from the character of the initial entertainment it will be unusually pleasing. | a FLAMES IN EAST LONDON. Cassel and Blackie’s Pui Houses Suffer Loss. Fire started at 10 o'clock last evening in W. S. Thompson & Co.'s corset factory, 48 | and 49 Old Bailey, E. C., London. It spread }ery Company, at 49, and thence to Lock hart’s cocoa rooms and Blackie & Co. publishing offices. Before the firemen could get well to work several other build'ngs had caught fire, and the rear of Cassell’s pub- | lishing house was in flames. | Shortly after 11 o'clock a third of the | frontage between Fieet street and Prujaan square crashed down to the pavement. The firemen ran for their lives. Several barely escaped burial in the burning wreck. A column of flame shot up two hundred feet, illuminating the city and throwing into lurid relief the dome of St. Paul's and the spires of many churches. Enormous crowds gathered in Newgate street and on Ludgate Hill. Twenty fire engines were kept at work throwing water on the building near the tottering walls. The Old Bailey Sessions- house and Newgate prison were drenched with innumerable streams of water to keep them from taking fire. Several times the report that the prison had caught was started, but every time it proved to be false. The loss will amount to many ‘thousands ot pounds. The Cassells and Blackies, pub- lishers, suffered considerable damage, but the buik of their machinery and stocks was not injured. See cee mt at Secretary Mort: } At the annual session of the National | Grange of Patrons of Husbandry at Syra- | cuse, N.

Writing to & Richardson Co,, Burlington, Vt., August he said: ‘On my word and honor as a gentleman I have not | passed a summer in the last seven years without having a ell of two or three weeks with rheu- matism.

I have rec- oumended It to two of the mep in the office, and it worked like a charm in their cases. One of the men was a total wreck. It would do you gpod to see him now. He told me today that it was the finest medicine he ever took in his life."* rs. Bain wrote a week later as follows: My husband for several years has suffered very | much with rheumatism. Every spring for years he has lost at least two weeks with this trouble. He had tried every other medicine mentionable, but with little of no relief.

Rev. Sheldon Jackson, general agent of education in Alaska, is an interesting talk- er on any subject he essays, but the theme with which he is most familiar, and on which he is best fitted to speak, is that per- taining to the introduction of domesticated Siberian rendeer into our new and great far northwest territory of Alaska. The native population is not many degrees re- moved from starvation. The food supply of | the country is not equal to the demands made upon it. It has been destroyed by the industries of the white man, and the introduction of breech-loading guns, ex- plosive harpoons and mammoth seines. Once in the palmy days of old the waters of that region were thickly settled by the finny denizens of the deep. Whale and walrus blew and sported. These fur- nished the staple food. The carribou, or the wild reindeer, ranged the vast plains, |and fur-bearing animals furnished meat, clothes and sport. Now the whaler has Swept the seas, and the hunter, armed with magazine shooting-irons, has assassinated | all the game or driven it out of the reach of the Alaskan Eskimo. We cannot re- stock the sea with whale as we do the rivers with carp, trout, shad or bass. Dr. Sheldon thinks that the only solution of the problem is to introduce the domesticat- ed reindeer. He has made several cruises | along the coast of Siberia with Capt. M. A. Healey in the United States revenue ma- rine steamer Bear. These cruises led far up to the north of Cape Navarin. Rein- deer were bought and taken to a harbor at the kead of Point Clarence, which, being the nearest good harbor to Asia on the | American side, was thought to be the best ey for the reindeer station. Here the herd is in charge of several Siberians, who have with them a number of Alaskan Es- | kimo, as apprentices, and who are expected to learn the trade of reindeer herders. The introduction of the domesticated rein- | deer will not only arrest the course of star- | vation, but will aid in repeopling the coun- | try. Food is necessary to population. | Good Specimen: Dr. Sheldon has seen starvation in all its horrible phases at King Island and the Island of St. Lawrence. Famine is a com- |mon complaint with the Alaskan Kimo. A visiting craft is always surrounded by a | throng of natives, begging for food. The | Alaskan Eskimo is entitled to a better | fate. He is more of a man than the Eski- | mo of Greenland and of Labrador. At Point | Barrow the average weight of the miale is foply 135 pounds; along the Nushagak river, | the average weight is about 160 pounds, and | from Cape Prince of Wales to Icy Cape, a | Kotzebue sound, there are six-footers of proportionate weight. Giants and giaaziess- es have been reported by explorers. Arctic and subarctic Alaska, nearly ejuals the |extent of all Europe. With herds of rein- deer roving over the plains, it will be quite |easy for the fountry to sustain a popula- tion of 100,000, while now only 20,0W find precarious livelihood. Various Uses. Reindeer will also solve the problem of Alaskan transportation. Now the only in- land travel possible is by means of dog sleds. This is a very expensive mode. The |dogs make but a short distance per day, jana require a large amount of food. With | reindeer communication, the forty or more missionaries and their families, who are | scattered throughout the country, might have a monthly mail, instead of an annual one as now. A reindeer can travel one |hurdred miles per day, and when he is | used as a beast of burden he can be packed with 300 pounds. Then the skin of ihe rein- |deer could tuxe the place being so rapidly /vacated by the buffalo robe. in the mar- kets of Europe, his skin, raw, is worth from $1.50 to $1.75, and the tanned skins, which are of yellow color and soft texture, bring | from $2 to $2.75 each. Sweden is a prompt | market for this product. Then the skins |are also used for gloves, military trousers jand book bindings. The horns of the rein- deer are valuable for glue. Smoked rein- | deer tongue is one of tne principal edibles |sold at the great annual fair at Nischnlj Novgorod, Russia. four hundred thousand of the animals graze in Lapland, and pay the government a tax annually of une aoi- jar per head. The reindeer is the most serviceable of all animals to man in high latitudes. Dr. Sheldon thinks that if it be right to sink artesian wells to make the desert blossom as the rose, it is ouly just to stock Alaska with reindeer and thereby open up its vast plains to human nabita- tion. Yo establish this industry would be to make a blade of grass grow where not one grew before. The reindeer purchased, have been at an average cost to tne govern- ment of 3% per head. Dr. Sheldon telis queer stories of the superstitious rites which |the Siberians perform prior to making a | sale of a reindeer. To part with a jive one, they believe presages bad luck. The vale is never ventured on without a long pre- |face of kneeling, bowing, muttering and sign making.

The Star of Tuesday published a letter telegraphed from Buffalo, addressed by Bishop A. Cleveland Coxe. the Episcopal bishop of western New York. to Monsignor Satolli, the papal delegate. Several errors were made in the telegraphic transmission that so changed the meaning of important sentences in the letter that The Star re- publishes the letter in correct form: “Monsignor: During the past twelve- month you have continued to place yourself before the American people in a manner alike aggressive and offensive. Offensive not only to the Protestant convictions of our people, but to the honest citizenship of many who profess the Roman re- ligion. I have hoped that some eminent civilian would feel it his duty to inform you that you are not qualified to expound our Constitution to an intelligent people, nor entitled as an alien to lecture us on our duties. You are not only an alien, but the emissary of a foreign court and evidently as ignorant of our institutions as you are of our language. Since you have come to the city where I dwell and where no incon- siderable number of its prominent citizens look to me as their chief pastor, I cannot permit your intrusive and gratultous teach- ings to be placed before my people without a courteous but firm rejoinder. My people profess the Catholic religion, but they are proud and happy to be reckoned among their Protestant fellow citizens in all civil relations. “It was to define this fact of brotherhood with the American people and of loyalty to their Constitution. which embodies prin- ciples that Protestant nations only have ever professed or maintained. that our fathers accepted a local and civil name for our American church. But that name de- fines our civil estate—the Nicene Creed de- fines our religion. I shall therefore express myself as a Christian bishop should, but I shall speak as one jealous of the freedom which it has cost our forefathers so much to purchase and to perpetuate. And I shall say to you nothing but what the noblest oracles of your own religion have said be- fore; nay, 1 shall quote the Dlustrious pon- tiff Clement XIV as fully sustaining my po- sitions. I shall speak for America as Bos- suet spoke for France. I shall cite the maxims of Mr. Brownson, the most eminent and respectable convert among American laymen, who has ever been led to cast in his lot with your people. In everything I medn to say, my fellow-citizens of your persuasion shall find me, not their enemy, but their champion. I make ng war upon their right to enjoy their religion; but, like the best and noblest man that for centuries has been reckoned among Roman pontiffs; like him who earned the applause of all nations when he condemned and suppressed the Jesuits, I am the antagonist of that corrupt society. So are thousands of pro- fessed Roman Catholics. I trust many of them will aid me to awake my counirymen to the fact that it is a band of secret con- spirators against all liberty and ull laws. I shall prove that it is the duty of all free people to limit and control. if not to banish the Jesuits from their coasts. “For a few weeks my occasions may not permit me to speak to you in another letter, but in a short time you shall hear again, by God’ ave, from your Christian brother and sincere friend.” tee Bishop Coxe's Letter. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have nothing to do with the contents of the letter of the bishop of western New York, purporting to be an open letter to Satolli; but to the language used in the commments thereon by some of our Roman Catholic citizens 1 wish to take respectful exception. When they characterize Bishop Coxe as an “ecclesiastical crank” they use an epithet that will only bring down on them severe criticism. The American people know too much about this eminent church- man, who is one of the most distinguished, scholarly and pious of Americans, to rest silent under such language. I am not an Episcapalian, hence it is very proper for me to express myself as the spokesman of a sentiment which I know to be held by all classes of intelligent people. He is deeply cherished for his personal worth, his broad and generous catholicity and his schola ability. No American is his superior. Roman Catholics would have higher respect id them if they would not fly to such bitter personal assaults upon those who differ with them on questions pertaining to Amer- ican interests. The opinions of Bishop Keane will not be accepted by our informed and just classes of all creeds. SCOTT F. HERSHEY, Presbyterian, Le ——.__ THE RITUS Its Use Abuse Discussed by the Episcopal Congress. The session of the fifteenth church con- gress of the Protestant Episcopal Church, held last night in Chickering Hall, New York, developed a discussion of the topic assigned for the evening, “The use and abuse of the ritual,” which entertained the audience filling the hall. In the absence of Bishop Dudley of Ken- tucky Bishop Talbot of Wyoming presided. He introduced as the first speaker the Rt. Rev. A. M. Randolph of Virginia. He be- lieved that the exte:nals of worship should be in the direction of simplicity. The abuse of ritual was its use as a teacher of relig- fous doctrines. . Rev. C. T. Olmstead of Utica followed the defense of the ritual, urging its effective- ness as an object lesson. Other speakers were: Rev. J. H. Van Buren of Lynn, Mass.; Thomas Nelson Page, Rev. W. R. Mackay of Hazelwood, Pa.; Rev. W. B. Frisby of Boston and Joseph Packard, jr., of Baltimore. +02 TO RETAIN THE WHITE CITY. A Movement to Preserve the Wor Fair Buildings. Cc. W. Caryl of Philadelphia, who has been in Chicago for some weeks engaged in or- ganizing a movement to save the fair build- ings and inaugurate another exposition next year got a good start at a meeting held at the Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday afternoon. About a hundred ladies and gentlemen came in response to Mr. Caryl's invitation. In response to a request for expressions of opinion, Judge C. B.Waite of Hyde Park, declared the citizens of that section were enthusiastic for the continuance of the ex- position and the preservation of the build- Ings at Jackson Park. Secretary Quinn of the State Commission- ers’ Association announced that the unani- mous sentiment of the state commissioners is that it would be a piece of unpardonable vandalism to destroy the White City. Executive Commissioner A. B. Farquar of Pennsylvania insisted that the building could be maintained for four or five years at a very slight expense and be still more beautiful,and he hoped the movement would sveceed in its purpose. The executive committee of the board of directors of the fair yesterday afternoon adopted Vice President Peck’s resolution asking the South Park commissioners to allow the big buildings to stand for an in- definite period. 0 Dr. Bedloe Misquoted. Dr. Edward Bedloe, ex-consul to Amoy, China, returned to his home in Philadelphia from Chicago Tuesday. Speaking of his recent visit to Hawaii, and the tangled political condition there, he said: “I have not indorsed, and I do not indorse President Cleveland’s proposition to establish a mon- archy in Hawaii, and I have no criticism to make of ex-President Harrison’s action in the premises.’ Dr. Bedloe was quoted as indorsing President Cleveland.

Dredging and Filling in—How the Seows Work—Damage by High ‘Water—Dangerous Wrecks. Major Davis, engineer corps, U. S. A., has made a report to the Secretary of War of the operations for the improvement of the Potomac river during the month of Octobe> in which he says that the dredging in the Washington channel, under the contract of the San Francisco Bridge Company, which had been temporarily suspended on the completion of the 12-foot dredging, Septem- ber 25, 1898, was resumed October 20, with a hydraulic dredge. Operations were commenced in the navi- gation channel off the foot of N street southwest, just below the Alexandria ferry wharf, the dredge working down stream. The dredge now used by the contractors makes a cut about 133 feet wide, swinging across the cut in the arc of a circle, upon @ stern spud as a center or pivot. The entire width of the navigation channei, 400 feet, can therefore be dredged in three cuts. The depth to be made is twenty feet at low tide. The discharge pipe, resting on pon- tons, extends from the stern of the dredge to the reclaimed land (section 111), thus closing the channel west of the dredge to navigation. The dredge works continuously night and day. When it is working on the easterly cut, near the wharves, an opening of from fifty to seventy-five feet is generally available for the passage of vessels, but in order to avoid any inconvenience or delay to navigation, the dredge usually works on this easterly cut at night, leaving an ample width of from 180 to 200 feet for the passage of steamers and vessels during the day. The amount of dredging during the frac- tional part of the month (October 20 to Oc- tober 31) is estimated at 14,509 cubic yards, making a total, under the contract, of about 107,26 cubic yards, and leaving about 692,795 cubic yards to be dredged. The construction of the sea wall on the Virgina channel front of section lll was continued during the month, and about 900 linéar feet of wall were completed. The wall is now finished to within about 150 feet of the Long bridge. About 620 cubic yards of building stone and 220 cubic yards of gravel were received for the wall during the month. The construction of the re- taining dike on the west side of the Virginia channel above Long bridge was continued, and 460 cubic yards of rip-rap were received and put in place. jured by Storm. A severe storm occurred on the night of October 12, accompanied by a high north- easteriy wind, which suddenly shifted to the southwest about midnight. This change in the wind was accompanied by extremely high tide, reaching the height of 8&8 feet above mean low tide, being the highest tide of which the engineer's office has any rec- ord. The ordinary range of tide in this harbor is 3 feet, so that the tide referred to, rose 5.8 feet above the normal plane of high tide. The tool scow which is kept in front of the wall in progress dragged its anchors and was carried ashore on section ll. The wall above Long bridge was slight- ly damaged by being struck by a sand dredge which went adrift. The steamer Neva, which was lying in the Washington channel under repair, was slightly injured. Serious injury to the wharves and shipping on the Washington channel resulted from the storm. Dangerous Wreck. Major Davis reports that arrangements have been made for the removal of the wreck of the schooner Samuel W. Thomas, near the mouth of St. George's river, Md., y | and that during November dredging in the Washington channel and the construction of the sea wall will be continued. He says that a lighter belonging to Littlefield, Al- vord & Co., damaged by the storm of Octo- | ber 12, now lies in twenty-eight feet of water at a point between Analostan Island and Rock creek, and forms a dangerous obstruc- tion to navigation, notwithstanding her owners have anchored a scow over the wreck and maintain lights there at night. It is recommended that the owners be noti- fled to remove the wreck. _-— The engagement is announced of Nellie Lisa Bass, only child and heiress of Baron Burton, to Bruce Baillie, a Scotch land owner. “Glad News” To The RUPTURED.

There was a meeting of the Nicaragua Canal Construction Company at the office, No. 44 Wall street, New York, Tuesday, at which there was a lively discussion in re- gard to the company’s affairs and prospects. Warner Miller's resignation as president was offered and accepted. The resignation of Capt. George W. Davis, the vice presi- dent, was also accepted. Then a reozgani- zation committee was selected, consisting of Smith M. Weed, Henry E. Howland, J. R. Bartlett, M. Emery of Cincinnati, Wilhelm Mynderse of Butler,Stillman & Hubbard and R. L. Edwards, president of the Bank of the State of New York. This committee, it is generally under- stood, will probably report in favor of wip- ing out the present construction company and forming a new one on a pian which will give the present holders stock in the new company and also Maritime Canal stock. There was also a suggestion made that after the present construction com- pany is wiped out no new one be organized, but that the Maritime Canal Company itseif should unde-take and have‘sole charge of Nicaragua the construction. tr" miler. “ith Sc Weed was civaed| conaticnnt gt eee genes menial of ir. ler. mn 5 was elect constipation.
