WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Fairfield, Me.,says, in a letter recently received: “It iives me pleasure to speak from personal knowledge ofthe wonderful cure, by the use of AYER’S Sarse- parila, of a bad humor ins child eleven years old. ‘The child's hands, arms, feet and legs were covered with blotches and scabs, resisting all local spplica- tions. Very soon after taking AYER’S Sarsaparills ‘the humor disappeared, the cure being complete. As ablood purifier I consider that AYER'S SARSAPARILLA ‘Stands st the head of the whole catalogue of such “There can be noquestion asto the superiority of AYER'S Sarsaparilla over all other blood purifiers.

A young scapegrace, having been severely flogged by his schoolmaster, took an oath that when he grew to be @ man he would flog the master. When he arrived at the age of about forty-five and the master about seventy, he met him and proceeded to exe- cute his threat. The result was that the old gentleman downed him in about two min- utes and gave him a worse flogging than he had before. When at length the master let him up, he said he would now wait until the old gentleman got to be about one hun- red before he tackled him again. Our good friend Patrick Donohue, whose cheerful, happy face is known to almost everybody in Boston, will on next St. Pat- rick’s day be seventy-nine, and he looks as though he might remain a director of our two societies twenty years longer. Oliver Wendel! Holmes is as bright as a new silver dollar at eighty-four. Neal Dow is as full of fight as ever at ninety. Goethe completed “Faust” when over eighty. Theophrastus began at ninety his work on “The Characters of Men.” Our good friend Miss C. F. Orne of Cambridge, known to many of our readers, writes us that her mother, an octogenarian, at sixty- five learned Hebrew, at seventy-six Latin, and still later German, French, Spanish and Italian, all of which she read fluently; also to some extent, Sanscrit, Saxon, Bulgarian and others. ‘We do not propose at our age to begin the study of languages we do not now know, but we do hope to be able to use our own languzge vigorously for some years to come and our dog-muzzling and other similar friends must not count too much on our having passed our seventieth milestone. ————-+e+ NOT ENOUGH The Lady Did Not Mean to Give Away a Secret to a Mean Man. From the Detroit Free Press. The elderly maiden’s affections had been wrenched loose by a heartless man, and she sued him for $10,000. When she took the witness stand she was asked how old she was. “Do I have to tell that?” she asked, trem- bling. “Certainly,” said the attorney. “Don't I get the $10,000 unless I do?” she inquired again. “Of course not.” She gathered her skirts about, her, sniffed the air once or twice, and got up. “The hateful, mean thing,” she exclaimed. “He can keep his $10,000 if he wants to. I am sure I don’t want it,” and away she went before anybody could stop her. —— SURE TO BE ACQUITTED. The Assauit Was a Mere Election Row Did Not Amount to Much. From the Chicago Post. “What's your defense?” asked the attor- ney who had been sent for to defend a man charged with murder. “It was a mistake,” said the prisoner. “How a mistake?" asked the lawyer. “Well, I hit him with a brick, but I didn’t mean to kill him.” “Did you throw the brick at him inten4- ing it should hit him?” “No; I didn’t throw it at him at all. 1 kept it in my hand and just pounded him on the head with it.” “But you meant to hit him?” “Sure I did, but I didn’t mean to kill him.” “Um! Well, I don’t believe I can get you off on that plea. What was the trouble about?” “I was trying to convince him that he ought to vote for Mullaney.” “And he wouldn't do {t?” “Naw. He said the other man was twice | as good a man and that he wouldn't vote OF ITS STATE=NTS, SO THAT ITS) for Mullaney for seventeen men like me, and then I hit him. And now they swear they'll hang me.” “Oh, well, don’t worry about that. I see my way ciear now. If we can bave tre trial set for some day just before election I'll raise the cry of political persecution, and that will pull you through all right. It’s a good thing you were talking politics, though. You'd hang if it had been any- thing else. a Penntless. From Puck. Judge—“Have you anything to offer the court before sentence is passed?” Prisoner—“No, your honor. My lawyer took my last shilling.” — "770 Late. From Truth.

An atrocious murder was committed yes- terday morning in a lMquor shop at No. 50 Hvéson avenue, Brooklyn. The victim was George M. Clancy, a brother of John M. Clancy, member of Congress from the sec- ond district of New York state, who is now serving his third term. A femoral artery was severed by Timothy McDermott, and he died a few hours later at the Homoeopathic Hospital. His murderer made his escape by boat across the East river, but was cap- tured by the police. Had he not turned back to get his hat when it blew off, he might have escaped. Clancy threw McDer- mott’s brother in a scuffle eighteen months ago, from the effects of which he died. ———_+e+_ TWO BUCKS AT ONE SHOT. A Prize Hunting Story Just in From the West. From the Trinity Journal. Tim Hennessey of Indian Creek, who was in town last Saturday, tells us that his twelve-year-old son, Tommy Wallace, killed two deer the Sunday before in a remark- abie manner. The boy while hunting in the mountains near Indian Creek shot a large buck and killed it at the first fire. Just as the slain deer fell another buck pre- sented itself right alongside the dead one. Young Wallace, thinking he had won laurels enough for a boy in one day, con- cluded not to shoot again. But when he started to get his game what was his sur- prise to see this one also fall to the ground, and when he reached the spot he found two dead deer. He had shot them both at the first fire. - The bullet which went through the neck of the first had entered the breast of the second deer. —— Explaazation. From Truth. Friend of the family—“Well, how's little Willie? We don’t see as muth of you as we used to.” Willie (shyly)—"No. trousers now.” ——___+e-+_____ Emperor William has decided that mili- tary maneuvers shall be held in 1894 at Heiligenbeil and Morienburg.

PRAISES TO GOD With Services and Music in Decorated Churches, Large Congregations Gather in the Churches Today to Observe the Great Christmas Festival. Long before daybreak this morning, Christmas was ushered in by the chime of bells in the church towers, and streams of people could be seen hurrying along through the darkness to early mass in the Catholic churches. There were also persons of any faith or no faith who were drawn out to hear the elaborate music. Christmas services were held in a number of churches yesterday, and so their doors were closed today. But the Catholics and Episcopalians and some Lutherans, in honor of the greatest festival of the year, had their sanctuaries and church interiors beautifully decorated today with flowers, and festooon- ed with holly and other greens, while from their organ lofts music burst forth, filling the churches and pleasing the audiences. All the churches were crowded to overflow- irg with happy, merry faces, in keeping with the spirit of the day. ‘The solemn high mass at St. Peter's Catholic Church, corner of 2d and C streets southeast, was held at 5 o'clock this morning before a large gather- ing from all over Capitol Hill. Solemn high masses were also celebrated at the same hour at St. Aloysious’ Catholic Church, St. Mary's Catholic Church and St. Matthew's Catholic Church. Monsignor Satolli cele- brated the second high mass at 11 o'clock at St. Aloysius Church, while Bishop Keane of the Catholic University preached the morning sermon at St. Patrick’s Church. Representative Storer and his family were present at this church to hear him. The altar of Epiphany Protestant Epis- copal Church was draped with holly, and the interior w: filled to the very dours. Justice Field and many other well known persons were present. St. John’s Episcopal Church was also beautifully decorated and crowded with a fashionable audience. The music was exceptionally fine. Afternoon Services. In the afternoon vespers will be sung in! many of the Catholic and Episcopal church- es, while in the evening some of the Pro- testant churches will have a special praise and song service. A fine selection of classic and well-known airs was played on the bells cf the Metropolitan M. E. Church this morning, and shortly afterward the doors} were open to gather together and distribute | the collections of clothing, food and other | things for the poor. This was the case in | the other churches also, and the relief com- mittees everywnere were taking an account of their stock and distributing articles of all sorts to the neady in the city. In front of many of the church doors stood the lame, the hajt and the blind, with their hands and hats stretched out for alms. The attendance in all the churches throughout the city today, called out by the pleasant morning and the interesting serv- ices, was large, and everybody seemed happy. High mass was celebrated at @idnight at St. Anthony’s Chapel, at Brookland and the attendance was very large. Rev. Father DeWulf was the celebrant, and’ in a brief sermon he wished the congregation a mer- ry Christmas, and spoke of the prosperity that had been enjoyed by that parish dur- ing the year. He urged that all should not forget the poor during this glad holiday season, and then drew some practical les- sons of Christian piety from the gospel of the day. The altar was beautifully decor- ated with flowers and evergreens and re- flected credit upon the industry and taste of the ladies of the sanctuary. The music by the choir was well sung. Peni eS ON Approves the Eating House Plan. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The “Philanthropic Suggestion” con:ained in your issue of Saturday, to my mind is the most practical solution yet given tor the relief of the unemployed and needy in the District. The relief thus.far given by charitable organizations is magnificent, but it should mot stop here. The poor we have always with us, and the necesities of the unem- ployed are likely to exist and increase fcr several months to come. What is neces- want and actual starvation is earnest, fal: and continuous charity and action. To secure the funds; for accomplishing what your “philanthropist” suggests, in addition to outside subscriptions, let each of the departmental and municipal em- ployes be asked individually to donate, com- mencing Decembe . one-half per cent of his monthly salary for the next few months. This would mean for the $9 em- loye 371-2 cents per month, and for the ,200 clerk, 50 cents per month, and so on in proportion. Many would hesitate to make an individual public contribution of this amount, but what employe is there who would not authorize the retention by his disbursing officer of such a small amount from his salary for two or three months for the purpose indicated. The amount would not be felt by them, yet an aggregate of $5,000 or $6,000 would result monthly towards the maintenance of the establishment suggested. I would then suggest that a list be start- and volunteers be called for to work in any capacity; only earnest workers who “weary not in well doing” for work of this kind for two or three months will certainly try the spirit und test their endurance. In this way labor would be secured free.

Mr. Thomas L. Gulick of Hawail and lately of Oberlin, Ohio, who has been in this city for some days, today gave to a Star reporter his reasons why the Presi- dents’ message of last Monday is not con- clusive as an argument or a statement of fact. “Why does he call the ex-queen the ‘con- stitutional sovereign,’”” he began, “when it owing to her bold attempt to destroy the constitution and to establish a revolu- tionary despotism that she lost her throne? His message says that ‘Saturday, January 14, the queen renounced the project of com- mitting treason and perjuring herself by annulling the constitution, for the present at least.” jow, what are the facts? Her sub- servient ministry, the willing tools of her revolutionary plot up to this point, learning the white-hot indignation of the citizens, became alarmed, and, going to the palace, begged her to desist. This unexpected op- Position threw her into a rage and they fled from the palace for their lives. The chief justice begged her to give up her iniquitous end suicidal purpose. She flatly refused, defiantly adding, ‘I wish no more advice from you.’ She proceeded to the balcony of the palace and announced to her hangers-on that though she had been pre- vented from proclaiming her new constitu- tion that day she would, nevertheless, give it to them soon. This is what the Presi- dent speaks of as her having renounced her project, for the present at least, in defer- ence to the wishes and remonstrances of her cabinet. He claims that citizens of Honolulu, ‘taking this relinquished purpose as a basis of action,” began to plan formal dethronement. eed The Real Truth, “The truth is, as Mr. Cleveland had every opportunity to know if he had chosen to look where light was to be had, the in- fatuated despot never relinquished her pur- Pose to destroy the constitution till the third day after this, when she discovered that her power was gone and that she was soon to be commanded to step down and out. When the Tahitian half-white ad- venturer and ex-blacksmith, Chas. Wilson, the commander of the queen’s 150 to 200 soldiers, tried on Monday to convince the determined citizens that Liliuokalani would net meddle with the constitution, notwith- standing her public assertion ‘that she would soon abolish it, he was asked what Suarantee he could give. He said he would lock the queen up In a room, if necessary, and keep her there! This Wilson, the brazen favorite of the shameless queen, was paramount tn the palace. Though de- spised and denounced by every party no cabinet and no legislature was able to drive him from the palace or deprive him of office. He continued as the power be- hind the throne.

The merchants, lawyers, doctors, ™mechanics and other respectable citizens who were determined to establish decent government in place of the smuggling, gambling, licentious, opium and lottery ring that had for twenty years infested the Palace are not in the habit of rioting, but they openly met in the largest, most in- fluential and determined mass meeting that Hawaii had ever known and decreed that the perjured woman, Mra. Dominis, who had trampled upon her oath and com- mitted high treason, should no longer be queen. Tt ts this righteous and wise resolve of the best men of the land, including the judges of the supreme court, clerzymen and oth: representing three-fourths of the private property of the islands, that the President gracefully describes as the ‘guilty intentions’ of a few insignificant conspira- tors against their ‘constitutional’ govern- ment. “These are the men to whom he was pre- pared to say through Mersrs.

If the President has not been able to pledge her such continuous military aid the difficulty of carrying out his project is evident. He expresses sur- prise that Minister Stevens should have brought American marines ashore to Pro- tect American life and property the Monday evening after the great mass meeting which decided on the deposition of the queen and the formation of a new government be- cause, as he says, there was no rioting or disturbance. It is true that during that day of intense excitement the dangerous elements of the city that were ready for murder and rapine did not dare to show their hand, but as night approached the town was fuil of threats of bloodshed and alleviated.

She was brought up on the plantation of the Hills, an old Maryland family, to whom she belonged. For many years Maria has lived in Washington and was well known and highly esteemed by many of the resi- dent families by whom she was frequently employed as a nurse for young babes. sateen ne carl Lost a Check. Mr. L. M. McDonald of the world’s fair bureau of awards is mourning the loss of a check drawn to his order by John T. Dich- inson, assistant disbursing agent at Chi- cago, on the assistant United States treas- urer at Chicago. The check was for $73.20, and was lost in this city along with a small note book. ES To Be Tried. Curley Harris is expected here today to answer the charge of larceny from the per- son, having been arrested in Philadelphia. Harris, it is charged, robbed a Mr. Callo- mer of the War Department last summer, and was arrested here, but gave bail in $1,000, and then skipped. He was indicted here and the case having been called for trial his bond was forfeited. a A Runaway. On Saturday afternoon a horse attached to a dayton ran away on Harrison street, Anacostia. Misses Mollie Beaver and Eva Clark were thrown or jumped from the vehicle, and the latter, striking the railroad track, received a severe scalp wound. Her wound was dressed by Dr. H. V. Pyles at Weiss’ drug store. Sana re eee Hit on the Head. At 12:30 o'clock yesterday morning J. H. Norris and an unknown white man, in front of 321 13th street, had a quarrel, in which Norris was struck on the head, and he was sent to the Emergency Hospital. IEE a A Slight Fire. A small frame residence on Duke street near Fairfax caught fire this morning from crackers and occasioned an alarm. The fire was extinguished after a smalb hole had been burned in the roof. Yesterday morning George Russell, a col- ored man of twenty-five years, was found lying at 10th and V streets northwest, with a severe cut over the left eye, and he was sent to the Freedman’s Hospital.

I think it was up in Alameda county one night at a prohibition rally that Pixley of the San Francisco Argonaut was given a seat on the platform. A Col. Babcock was the orator of the occasion. He was a mid- dle-aged man, and he delivered an address relative to the evils of intemperance which was really touching. Certainly he spoke with an earnestness and eloquence that showed his sincerity. Pixley was called upon for a speech after the colonel. He arose hesitatingly, walked slowly to the center of the platform, and =e at the audience for a few seconds said: “T am a strict temperance man in the sense of being a prohibitionist, but if I fee) tomorrow as I do at this present moment I promise you that I will never take another _— of intoxicating liquor as long as I ve.
