THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1893—-TWELVE PAGES. IT IS SURELY COMING. The Question is: “Are You Prepared!” If Not Some Very Valuable Advice is Volunteered. An epidemic of the grip is certain to be general throughout America in a very short time. Already many cases bave been observed by physiciaus in New York city, as well as io other cities of the land. Dr. Cyrus Edson of the New Yock board of health, says that the disease will manifest its generally in the very near future and that i: is already here more thay is generally realized. He said: “I think we will have s grip epidemic soon, and are indications that it will be a long siege. I do not want to create @ scare. I would people to beware of it and to use all the precautions possible. Experience has siown that tarelessness in habits and irregular hours render the system too weak to stand so violent a disease. Grip finds easy victims im old people and in debilj- tated persons.”* There is but oue thing for any man, woman or ebiid to do when the slightest symptom of sip appears, and that is to counteract {t at once. If you feel tired, have pains in the muscles and bones, have a dull headache, a bad taste in the mouth, are feverish, have no ambition or appe- tite, you must, if you desire to escape the grip, a at once pure stimulant.

Van Alen, who declined the appoint- ment to be United States ambassador to Italy, arrived at Liverpool Wednesday on the steamship Majestic. When seen in Lon- don yesterday he said: “My movements here are uncertain. I have not decided defi- nitely to cruise in the Mediterranean during the winter and spring. 1 have not even chartered a yacht for such a trip, although I have one in view. All depends upon two of my Newport neighbors, a gentleman and his wife, who intended to accompany me, but were temporarily prevented. My stay in London will be short. I shall visit rela- tives in Cheltenham, and return to London by Christmas. I shall go then to Paris, Pau and Cannes.” As to his declining the appointment to be ambassador in Rome, Mr. Van Alen said: “The letters from Mr. Cleveland, the State Department and myself were published, and they left nothing further to be said. Mr. Cleveland urged me to reconsider my re- fusal and vindicate my appointment, show- ing my fitness by my performance of the duties of the post. I have received endless letters from friends and strangers, demo- crats and republicans, commending my at- titude in the matter, but regretting my re- fusal. The Senate was favorable to me with the exception of a few republicans. I have not received any intimation as to whom Mr. Cleveland will appoint in my stead. 1 dare Say they will get somebody who will repre- sent the country far better than I could, but they will never get a man who would try harder to do so than I should. 1 do not care to refer personally to the New York journal whose attacks upon me were 80 virulent and groundiess, but shall maintain toward it the attitude adopted by me at the time of its first attack—the attitude of silent, dignified contempt. This, indeed, was the only course left open for a gentle- man. 1 am, and have been from the begin- ning, greatly consoled by the reflection that the newspaper in question in no wise rep- resents American journalism. Since its un- just attacks began I have received innumer- able letters, showing that it is sinking great- ly in public estimation. It has been hinted, whether truly or not I am unable to say, that this newspaper's attacks were prompt- ed by disappointed ambition and by jeal- ousy. —_+-o+—____. Resignations Accepted.

The Evening Star Christmas Present to am Appreciative Public. If one stops to think what the announce- ment of a twenty-four page Star means, he will realize that seldom is a community fa- vored with such a wealth of entertaining reading matter as will be given in tomor- row's mammoth Star. Advantage will be taken of the four pages by which the usual Saturday edition is aug- mented to present a number of features that will be found particularly suited to the season, There are some stories that never grow old, and no one will question the statement that Dickens’ Christmas Carol is the best Christmas story ever published. This beau- tiful work will appear in tomorrow's Star in its entirety, with a number of excellent illustrations. No one can read it without feeling the better for it, and as it will be read aloud in many Washington home cir- cles tomorrow night, it will have the effect of loosening the purse strings of more than one Scrooge to help the countless poor who will suffer during cold weather. The Even- ing Star Santa Claus Club could not possi- bly have a better advocate than “The Christmas Carol.” Tomorrow’s Star will tell, by the way, of the admirable work that is being done by the Santa Claus Club; how the badges are being distributed by thousands and how the supply can hardly equal the demand, not- withstanding the rapid work of a big New England factory. The Christmas Carol will not be the only story published tomorrow. "’Mandy’s Or- ; San” and the “Early Worm” are two pretty sketches that show distinct phases of life in the west. In one the scene is laid among the farmers of Dakota and the other has the cowboy flavor of the Texas ranches. There will be a number of articles ap- propriate to the Christmas season. Some will tell how to purchase, others how to make Christmas presents. The former will appeal to those with money to spend and the Jatter to those whose means are limited, yet who want to remember dear friends at this happy season. There will be articles on fashions, and on Points in etiquette that will be unusually entertaining. In this connection the little folks will not be overlooked, and fond moth- ers will be told just how to make a suitable and becoming fancy dress for Bobby or Charley, who will attend a. party this winter, and pictures will show just how the costumes will look. There will be a capital article on the Foot Pads of Paris, with illustrations, which give an excellent idea of their tricks and expert work. There will be another chaper devoted to some of the well-known artists who make Washington their home and whose studios shoy the steady growth of Washington as an art center. “Study at West Point,” by an army offi- cer, with illustrations, will give a good idea of the work of embryo generals. Amos Cummings and F. G. Carpenter will contribute interesting, breezy articles, il- lustrated, on some well-known figures in Congress with striking characteristics and peculiarities. But the list is too long to give more than a few samples of tomorrow’s Star. It will be brimfull of features, touching upon a wide variety of interesting toptes. ee ape Must Appear for Trial. Congressman Champ Clark, for whose arrest on a charge of assaulting Marcellus West with a knife a warrant was recently issued from the Police Court, was notified last night by Lieut. Kelly to appear in court for trial. He wanted to forfeit collateral yesterday, but Mr. Mullowney, the pros- ecuting officer, desired that the case should be tried, because it was charged that a weapon had been used in the alleged as- sault, The case went over until Monday. +00 Speaking for Hawaii. A good-sized audience heard an address from Rev. Oliver P. Emerson, the secretary of the Hawaiian board of missions, who spoke last evening in the lecture room of the Church of the Covenant. Mr. Emerson was an eye witness of the recent revolution in that island, and is a firm believer in the righteousness of the movement which re- sulted in the overthrow of the queen. He believes that the provisional government will be maintained, but thinks that it is now undergoing a terrible strain. He thought it was an ungrateful spectacle for Americans to allow their Anglo-Saxon kinsmen to stand guard for civilization under the pres- ent trying circumstances. The people were going to fight for their rights, although they felt it was wrong that they were left with- out support. It was more than a question of supremacy, it was the battleground of the civilization of the east and the west. ———_— Baltimore Wants the Big Regatta.

Yesterday afternoon the State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, at Harrisburg, Pa., adopted a series of resolutions reported by &@ special committee denouncing Secretary Morton. They demand that he retract in equally positive language the remarks he made derogatory of the grange, alliance and kindred agricultural organizations, failing in which President Cleveland will be ask- ed to request his resignation and appoint a chief of the department in sympathy with the farming classes. It is understood that a further resolution will be passed denouncing Morton for his opposition to the experimental stations. In his speech yesterday Past National Lec- turer Whitehead commended Senator Cam- eron and Congressman Sibley for their stand in favor of silver, and was loudly ap- plauded. Governor Pattison addressed the convention last night, and was warmly greeted. The grange will probably adjourn tomorrow morning. Action of the Maryland Body. ‘The annual session of the Maryland State Grange was brought to a close at the Mait- by House, Baltimore, yesterday. The body denounced the policy of J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture, as outlined by him in an address before the congress of agri- culture in Chicago on October 16. The grange passed resolutions stating that, \t being almost universally recognized as virtually true that the advancement of agriculture in the United States and the promotion of the material interests of farm- ers demand organization for mutual educa- tion, support and benefit, it is of the high- est importance that the heads of the execu- tlve department especially dedicated to their advantage should be fully in sympathy with the farming classes, and their efforts for success, by combined action. The grange aiso unanimously agreed “that the present Secretary of Agriculture has shown himself not only openly, but offensively, op- posed to this first and supreme principle, and to the great bodies seeking to bring the advantages of corporations to the farmers of the land.” The offensive language language used by Secretary Morton was as follows: “The American farmer has foes to contend with. They are not merely the natural foes—not the weevil in the wheat, not the murrain in the cattle, not the cholera in the swine, nor the drouth, nor the chinch-bug. The most insidious and destructive foe to the farmer is the ‘professional’ farmer, who, as a ‘pro- moter’ of granges and alliances, for political purposes, farms the farmer. The farmers do not need to pool their thinking faculties and their energies with vast associations, which are too often turned to political rath- er than to agricultural and domestic pur- oo LOBENGULA STILL FIGHTING. The Wily Matebele is Keept English Gue Official dispatches dated at Buluwayo on December 8 say: Maj. Forbes’ messen- gers, who left him at sundown on December 4, have arrived. Maj. Forbes left Shelo on November 25. He followed Lobengula twen- ty miles. ‘The rains rendered progress with the wa- gens slow, and Maj. Forbes selected 170 men, with whom he proceeded, carrying the food on the spare horses and sending the wagons with 130 men to Emshiangane. On the evening of December 3 Forbes reached the Shangani river. Capt. Wilson, with fit- teen men, crossed and captured a Mata- bele, who informed him that the king’s wa- gon was stuck hard by. Wilson sent the information to Forbes, who sent forward Capt. Barrow with twenty men. Barrow overtook Wilson before day- light. Upon reaching the wagon they called for somebody to come out. The natives at once began the attack. Wilson retreated 600 yards, losing four horses. Messengers who were sent to Forbes escaped with difficulty. They left Wilson fighting. Upon nearing the river they heard firing in Maj, Forbes’ camp. ‘They swam the river, and when they join- ed Forbes at 8 o'clock in the morning, they found that he had been attacked at dawn by the Matabele, whom he repulsed after he had suffered a loss of four wounded. Food and — have been sent to the front from Buluwayo. Jameson and Willoughby also are pro- ceeding to confer with Forbes. The whole of Maj.

A Witness Will Swear That He Re- vealed the Plot to Murder Cronin. An important witness for the prosecution in the Coughlin murder trial at Chicago has been summoned from Ireland and is now on his way to Chicago. The new witness is Joseph McLaughlin, a brother of Mrs. Andrew Foy, who recently related the story of the conspiracy and crime to the police as she heard it from her husband, Andrew Foy. McLaughlin, it is alleged by the at- torneys for the prosecution, will substanti- ate the story told by Mrs, Foy in every particular, He was the recipient of Foy'’s confidence, it 1s declared by Mrs. Foy. By McLaughlin the state will prove that Andrew Foy nar- rated the organization of the plot and the details of the killing of Dr. Cronin as al- ready published. Foy was under arrest twice during the investigation preceding the previous trial, but as there was no positive evidence against him and he would confess to no knowledge of the murder, he was set at Mberty. McLaughlin will arrive in about a week, and when he is placed on the witness stand Foy will have to choose between telling the whole truth and an indictment for perjury. He is under strict surveillance and will be arrested if he attempts to ‘eave the city. Efforts which have proved abortive have been made by the defense to intimidate Mc- Laughlin and prevent his returning from Trelan It was rumored yesterday that fears are entertained that an attempt will be made to abduct Mrs, Foy to prevent her testifying in the case. Policemen, it is said, have been detailed to guard the Foy house and prevent such an occurrence. —_——_+oo—_____ Suicide of a Bigamiat. Henry Habel, a young tailor, arrested at Raleigh, N.
