The judge sat on the tails of a big storm coat for a woolsack and every juryman was bundied up like an arctic traveler. There was no burning eloquence in any of the arguments pre- sented, for it would hve frozen before it got to the jury’s ears, even if it had been hot as a Sahara simoon.” “No one has any idea of the immense number of advertising schemes that are being evolved from many sources all over the country unless he is connected with the publicity department of some big firm that believes in printers’ ink,” said James B. Hill of New York at La Normandie last night. “It happens that my duties with our house are confined to informing the public of what we have for its every-day neces- sities, and I do not exaggerate when I say I receive a bushel of letters every week con- taining glowing prospectuses of something that is destined to bring us untold business if we are wise enough to patronize it. Nat- urally I don’t read one-ter.th of them. ‘The intelligent advertiser wants circulation for his announcements, and the only way he can get it is by buying space in established dailies or widely read periodicals. Many firms of my acquaintance formerly spent money upon every new thing that came along, and this custom inspired the enor- mous increas» of advertising mediums that I speak of. Now there is a decided change, and reputable establishments are fighting shy of all sugsrestions that are not backed up by something permarent and reliable. Not long ago we received an offer to place our half-column advertisement in a publication devoted to Atlantic City, of which it was guaranteed tha’ 000 would be circulated during the coming season. What do you think was the price? Why, $10. Now, that is only a specimen of the propositions being continually rade. Advertising schemers have simply run wild, and it Is a good thing for established journals of reputation, be- cause the time taken to examine their nu- merous suggestions is so great that all big advertisers are adopt the rule to notice none of them and to confine their favors to publications of known v jue.” “When It comes to standing intense ccld and working steadily in a temperature considerably below zero the Eskimo Is not it with the logger of the northwest said F. H. Whiteside of Saginaw “All through the pine and hem- lock and birch of the great forests out my way have been falling before the axes of the hardy loxxers, and then being haule over the snow to the nearest stream or logging railroad to be carried to the mills when the spring thaw comes. They are a happy, lively set of fellows, too, and they lenjoy their nights out there in the frigid wilderness as much as the same spirits would enjoy them in more favored locali- ties. They have their songs and music and sometimes a grotesque play is produced at a camp, which will be attended by men from all the other camps in the neighbor- hood, and neighborhood out there means anywhere within fifteen or twenty miles. stern people have heard a great deal Eas | abeut the frightful immorality of western lumber camps, but of late years this fea- ture of the life has been almost entirely eradicated. But gambling is a passion with most of them, and there are some regular gamblers who go into the woods when winter approaches and work as loggers simply for the purpose of winning the money of their less skillful mates. When such a professional is discovered, however, you can res: assured that he fs pretty summarily dealt with.” “Probably the believers in the heredi- tary transmission of traits from parents to children will find conclusive argument in their favor in a recent tragedy in St. Lou- is,” sald Edward Turner of that city at the Metropolitan this morning. “Five years ago the city was shocked by the news that Jchn Jackson, one of the leading citizens and a man who had stood in the front of cemmercial life for thirty years, had com- mitted suicide. He was found dead in the St. Louis Elevator Company office with a small rope around his neck. It was seen that he had tied the rcpe to the ceiling and had gotien on a chair, arranged the noose and stepped off. His feet had touch- ed the floor, because the repe was too lon: and he had evidently slid down deliberately and forced the noose to choke him. Last week his son, George Rowse Jackson, a young man just passed thirty, was found dead with @ half-inch rope around his neck, His position was exactly that in which his father had been found. He was standing flat on the floor and his body in- clined forward, showing he had strangled himself to death, like his father before him. The mental and physical troubles of father and son had been the same for some time preceding their respective deeds.” “The mill owners and other large em- ployers of labor in New England are watching with considerable interest the movement now in progress looking towards the consolidation of all labor organiza- tions into a single body,” said Robert E. Levy of Providence at the Shoreham last night. “Several paragraphs have been published lately showing that the idea is under consideration, and hinting at the character of the proposed association. As far as Ll have been able to see from these items it appears that the intention is to form an organization on semi-military lines similar to the Salvation Army, with a chief commander and captains and lieu- tenants over various groups scattered all over the country. It is also intended to admit women the same as the Salvation Army. One paper recently contained the grimly humo-ous announcement that Gov. Altgeld would be the head-center of the new association as soon as his term of red, and become the chief of everything in the way of American organ- ized labor.

WHAT A MEXICAN MINISTER SAYS Throngs in Pall Mall to See the Prince Pass. . GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS ——— MEXICO CITY, February —Don Mar- iscal, minister of foreign relations in the Mexican cabinet, states, despite reports to the contrary, that the end of the Guate- malan question is not yet in sight. The secretary intimated that the neighboring republic is still at its tactics of evading the real questions in the dispute with Mex- ico and endeavoring to gain all the ‘ime possible. 'TO SEE THE PRINCE. Crowds of Sightseers Wait for Him in Pall Mall, LONDON, February 15.—The Prince of Wales held his first levee of the season at St. James palace this afternoon. Notwith- standing that the weather was intensely cold and a slight snow storm prevailed, the levee was largely attended. The «sual erewds of sightseers assembled in Pall Mall to witness the arrival of those at- tending the function and to see the Prince of Wales drive in state from Marlborough House, his London residence, to the palace. His royal highness was escorted by the second lifeguards, who wore polished hel- mets. with white plumes and long, red cloaks. Among those present at the levee were: Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, the United States ambassador; Maj. Willlam Ludlow, the military attache at the embassy, and Lieut. Commander William S. Cowles, the naval attache. Among those presented to the prince in the diplomatic circle was Mr. David D. Wells, the “second secretary of the embassy. Mr. William Ralston cf San Francisco was presented to his royal highness in the general circle. ZORILLA RETURNS. Excitement Among Spanish Republi- ca Over His Coming. MADRID, February 15.—Manuel Ruiz Zorilla, the noted Spanish republican, who for about ten years has lived in England, France and Switzerland, arrived at Bar- celona today on his return to Spain, having accepted the terms of the amnesty act re- cently passed by the cortes. There is the greatest excitement among all the republicans in Spain on account of his return, especially at Barcelona, where arrangements for an imposing reception to him had been made. ‘The authorities of the city fear that dis- turbances will attend the demonstration of the republicans, and have arranged for a rigorous suppression of any trouble that may occur. : FRESHETS IN SPAIN. Part of the Suburbs of Seville Under Water. ~ MADRID, February 15.—The river Se- gura, which flows through the provinces of Murcia and Alicante into the Mediter- ranean, has overflowed its banks, and con- siderable damage has been done at many places. A portion of the city of Orihuela in Alcante is inundated, and the railway from there to the city of Alcante, the capl- tal of the province, is submerged. There is also a_ serious flood in the Guadalquiver river, and Trana, a suburb of Seville, is under water. The river Tagus is also rising, and the town of Aranjuez, about thirty miles southeast of Madrid. where there is a royal palace, is threatened with inundation. The royal residence itself is in danger of being reached by the water. Another Report About Satolli. ROME, February 15.—It ts reported in seml-official vatican circles that in order that there shall be no departure from the usual custom in the promotion of apos- tolic delegates abroad, Mgr. Satolli, the delegate to the United Siates, will be nuncio at Lisbon prior to being created a cardinal. A Murderous Javanese Plot. BATAVIA, February 15—A plot of natives, involving murder, has been dis- covered in-the Tjamdea district, in the nt residency of Buitenzorg, on the nd of Java. It was the intention of the plotters to murder all the Europeans and Chinese in the district, if possible. All the chief movers in the plot and fifty of their followers have been arrested and placed in prison. _ COAL SOLD AT $1.10. Effect of the War in Prices at Chi- cago. CHICAGO, February 15.—Coal was offer- ed in carload lots at $1.10 a ton on the tracks in Chicago yesterday. This price is the lowest touched since the coal war com- menced. So far it is only western coal which is aff-cted in price by the fight be- tween the railroad companies, but if the war continues the eastern mine owners and railroads will be active participants, A number of coal men from Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania are in the city. The rate war begun by the Monon, and the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railways has been joined by the Chicago and Alton, the Wabash and the Illinois Central railways. The effect of the reducing of the rate schedule began to be felt by the eastern mine operators and large dealers. Pro- tests did not avail, and after several ses- sions in Columbus the coal men decided to come to Chicago to see what they could do to conserve their interests. Meting Out Justice. SALEM, Mass., February 15.—Frank C. Hunt and Josiah L. Johnson were today sentenced to twenty years each in the state prison, with one day solitary confine- ment, for manslaughter in causing the death of Jacob T. Crosby in Merrimac on the night of August 17 last. BALTIMORE, Md., February 15.—William J. Hasson, who cut his wife’s throat from ear to ear, was today sentenced to eighteen years’ imprisonment. NEW YORK, February 15.—Michael Cap- ezzuto was today sentenced to life im- prisonment in Sing Sing for the murder of his wife on November 4 of last year. He shot her In the back with a revolver. —_—— Charges Against a Judge. SPOKANE, Wash., February 15.—The legislative committee appointed to investi- gate the charges preferred by J. R. Lam- bly against Jesse Arthur, joint judge of the superior court for Spokane and Stevens county, have arrived here. Judge Arthur is accused of perjury, of having accepted bribes, of malfeasance in office, of drunk- , of being a slave to the morphine habit and of a general willful neglect of his judicial duties. ———._—_. Exccution at Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, Mo., February 15.—Philip Martin, colored, who killed Eli Stillwell, was hanged here this morning.

The Same Opinion. The Commissioners have addressed a let- ter to Chairman Heard of the District com- mittee stating, with reference to House bill 8 'o secure adequate compensation for the right to construct, use, or extend and operate street railroads in the District of Columbia,” that this bill is substantially the same as House bill 7478, having the same title, respecting which the Commis- sioners made an adverse report recently, and they are still of the opinion expressed in that communication, If Amended. The Commissioners will reco! vorable action cn Senate Dill thorige the Washington and Marlboro’ Electric Railway Company of Maryland to extend its line of road into and within the peng of Columbia,” if amended as fol- lows: Section 1, line 34, after the word “street” insert the words “thence northwesterly along Florida avenue to 7th street north- west.” 2 The extension of route recommended would permit the line to intersect existing lines to Eckington, Brookland and the Sol- diers’ Home, and by the 7th street connec- tion furnish a direct route to Mount Pleas- ant, Brightwood, Takoma and the Rock Creek Park.

THE WHITE RIBBON Those Who Wear It Open the Poly- glot Convention. TODAY'S EXERCISES OF DEVOTION Addresses by Notable Workers in the Cause of Temperance. AN INTERESTING GATHERING — To thcse familiar with the typical W. C. 'T. U. women the large audience gathered in the Metropolitan Church this morning was a pleasant study. In probably no other similar gathering have a greater number of tall, large, deep-voiced, commanding and matronly women been assembled. Here and there was a man; now and then a short- haired lady. Not one of the men, however, was long-haired. It was a gathering of fine-looking, well-dressed, elderly women, to whom experience and sympathy had brought wisdom and power. They ex- pressed in all they did the gravity of their feelings, the positiveness of their convic- tions upon the one great subject, which had with mary—perhaps with all—been a matter of life work and anxiety. ‘The church, under the hands of the com- mittee of the local W. C. T. U., had been tastefully and significantly decorated. ‘The ample folds of our own flag draped and swung from pillar to pillar about the gal- lery, and intermingling with its red, white and blue were seen the Chinese dragon on its fleld of yellow, the French tri-color, the German eagle, the crimson globe of Japan, the Portuguese lion, the Spanish green, the Italian navy blue and white, and the spot- less white of Norway and Sweden. On the desk was a large spreading bunch of Wash- ington’s native rose—the American Beauty. Emblemuatic of the Work. Attracting the attention of every one and fitly illustrating what the convocation means, was a huge globe with all the nations of the earth outlined in papier mache relief, and around them all, girdling it like one of the great circles of the earth, was a big white satin ribbon tied in a large bow knot. The exercises were interspersed through- out with music, led by Miss Mary Mckee at the organ. Several of the ladies who were to be present and take part were unable to arrive in time. Miss Elizabeth W. Greenwood, world’s and national evan- gelistic superintendent; Mrs. P. O. Ayde- lotte of Massachusetts and Mrs. Jennie Fowler Willing of New York, who were to speak, were not present. Among the not- able ladies of the W.C.T.U. present in the audience and on the stage were Miss Frances H. Ensign and Mrs. Belle Kear- ney, national organizers of the “Y” branc! Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey, world’s and na- tional superintendent of peace and arbitra- tion; Mrs. Ellen A, Blair, national chalk talker; Mrs. Helen M. Barker, national treasurer; Mrs. Denham of New Jersey, Miss Elizabeth U. Yates of Boston, national lecturer. The Morning's Proceedings. With the singing in one strong enthusias- tie chorus of “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ the session opened. the church, Dr. Hugh offered Jobuson, pastor of prayer, fitly asking divine’ aid in the councils of the ocea- sion. The large con- gregation then united in singing “Rock of Ages Mrs, M. G. Griflith, president of thet W CT. U, of the Dis: comed the gathering to the cap- ital and bespoke for the efforts here con- ‘ ing in a cere- remarkable fj) mony tor its far-reaching ) the fullest 74% ure of success) Mrs. Griffith. You are most welcome,” said Mrs. Grif- fith, “to our homes, our churches, our pub- lic ‘institutions and our city. To every one who wears the white ribbon we give cordial welcome.” Passing on to give a graphic little ple- ture of the capital city, its people, its beau- ty, its opportunities and its future, the speaker paid a handsome touch of com- plimentary mention to President Cleveland. Ve honor Grover Cleveland,” said she, for his signing that important bill re- quiring the introduction of scientific tem- perance as a study in our public schools. We honor Mrs. Frances Cleveland for the fact that at every banquet she turns down her wineglass, thus following the example of that honored woman who preceded her in the Executive Mansion, Mrs, R._ B. Haye: This allusion to the President and his wife brought forth loud and long applause. One Who Wants to Vote. Mrs. Clara C. Hofiman of Missouri, sec- retary of the National W. C. T. U., was then introduced, and in a brief impromptu address, which made plain her readiness on the platform, spoke of the significance of the occasion. She thought the great polyglot petition would set people to talk- ing, and all great reforms had to begin with a great deal of talking. Whatever people were curious about had vitality. If people could be kept thinking and disputing about the temperance question some good must some time follow. She thought this was but the beginning of the assembling of women in Washington. “Like the men,” she said, “we want to come here. Not’ merely to visit, but to stay a while—right through the’ session, and we expect to come with the power to vote, to pass laws and put our cause on the statute books indelibly and enduringly.” ‘At this point, in the absence of Miss Flizabeth Greenwood, who was to do s0, Mrs. Catherine Lente Stevenson was in- vited to take charge of the service of de- votion. Mrs. Stevenson is a lady of me- dium height, serious and determined of features, but pleasing, considerate and sym- pathetic. Miss Mattie Gray of the Metro- politan choir was introduced, and sang a beautiful contralto solo, entitled “Un- answered.” Mrs. Stevenson then addressed the great audience on the opportunity of wemen in the furtherance of the temper- arce cause. She emphasized the import- ance of the church in connection with the work, and the co-oporation of Christian women everywhere. Her manner was most pleasing, and her address was throughout | earnest and convincing Those at Home Remembered. Mrs. Stevenson paid a generous tribute to the great host of brave women in every vil- lege and hamlet all over the world who are behind the few gath- ered here to repre- sent them. The un- tiring labors of those who had carried this great petition to every door of every land over the earth were a constant and mighty inspiration, upholding the nands of those who essayed to carry forward the standard of the white ribbon. Mrs.Stevenson then offered prayer, after Mrs. Hoffman. which a verse cf “Rock of Ages” was sung, and the meet- ing was open to volunteer prayers and remarks. Mrs. Griffiths, as the hands on the clock approached the hour of noon, was asked to offer prayer in concert with the noontide host of white ribbon people all over the earth. Her ‘petition remembered those leading women of the organization who were unable to be present, the women who were at this hour anxiously praying fcr emancipation from the curse of rum, the great number of those who were its vic- tims, and invoked the divine benediction and inspiration upon the exercises at Cor vention Hall, and a blessing upon the Pr ident of the United States, whose attitude upon this occasion is of so much import- ance to the W.

U. and the National w.c.T U. The Only Man to Be Heard. Dr.Lunn of England was then introduced, and in a trenchant speech dwelt on the at- titude that should be taken by the W. C. T. U. in battling with the evils of society. He criticised those utterances in speech or in song that counseled a passive attitude, but urged that it was a militant struggle —‘the mighty host advancing.” He did not want to “hold the fort,” as the song has it, but wanted to attack and overcome the wrongs before him. Dr. Lunn then led in prayer, most earnestly invoking divine counsel and blessing upon the en- deavors of the women engaged in the tem- perance cause. Mrs. Anna M. Hammer, president of the Pennsylvania W. C. T. U., followed in prayer, remembering eloquently in her pe- tition Miss Willard and Lady Somerset, whose illness seemed likely to interfere with their participation in the exercises of presenting the great petition to the repre- sentatives of the American nation. Her petition was most earnest in behalf of the millions for whom the great polyglot pe- tition had been made, and of the vast host of white ribboners, who, all over the world as high noon continuously passed, were engaged in prayer for the cause. This Afternoon’s Session. The large audience assembled again this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Metropoli- tan Church. Mrs. Helen M. Barker, the treasurer of the National W. C. T. an elderly lady with a sweet, Puritanical face and the precise and measured speech of an experienced speaker, presided. The first address was by Mrs. Margaret B. Platt of Washington, on woman's suffrage, as a means to advance the cause of temperance. Her argument, although passing over a trite and not unfamiliar field, presented the question with force. One of the most acceptable speakers of the day was Mrs. Emily L. McLaugh- lin, president of the Boston W. C. T. U. who next addressed the meeting. Mrs. McLaughlin belongs to a family of able speakers, and is the sister of Rev. Dr. R. R.Meredith of Brook- lyn, the famous Sun- day schcol lesson ex- positor, and in ap- peararce, manner and talent is an excellent counterpart of her Mrs. McLaughlin. celebrated brother. She has occupied many ef the most conservative and influential churches in Boston and throughout this country and Canada. Mrs. McLaughlin has cften appeared before state legislatures, pleading for better laws, and spoke twice this winter before the Massachusetts leg- islature with Lady Henry Somerset. Mrs. McLaughlin's manner on the plat- form today was that of a most spiritual woman, a magnetic speaker, and a forcible lecturer. She presented the subject of tem- perance reform as the duty of men 2s well as women, and recounted some of her ex- periences in urging the cause before mem- bers of legislatures. The Practical Way. Mrs. McLaughlin was followed by Mrs. Matilda B. Carse, who brought the big pe- tition to Washington and is tts custodian for the present. Mrs. Carse is a large, fine- looking apostle of temperance reform, and her terse, direct style of speaking was en- joyable to the end ef her speech. She pur- sued paths apart from the spiritual and persuasive policy of waging the warfare of temperance, and counseled the use of every practical means at the command of her sisters. She would go about temperance reform just as the politician or the statesman undertakes to establish his cause and gain his point. Mrs. Carre showed a great prac- tical sense of how public opinion is formed and how great measures are furthered. Mrs. La Fetra announced to the meeting that reserved seats for tonight might be had at Ellis’ music store on Pennsylvania avenue. The Moody choir will occupy the first 500 seats in Convention Hall; the next 1,000 seats are for sale at 50 cents each; the next 1,500 at 25 cents, and the rest at 10 cents. “Over 4,000 seats have already been sold. The proceeds go to the national and world’s W. C. T. U. SUICIDE OF WM. GEDNEY. Believed to Have Been Insane at the ‘Time. Mr. William Gedney, brother of Walter Gedney, who committed suicide in Phila- delphia yesterday afternoon, as reported in The Star, left today to be present at the coroner's inquest and to claim the body. No information has been received by the family in this city as to the whereabouts of Mr. A. G. Gedney, who, it was expected, would ke in Philadelphia on business yes- terday. Neither has there been anything definite done as yet in regard to the funeral here. Walter Gedney left Washington about three weeks ago and entered the employ of the F. E, Manning Electro-Photograph- ing Company at 35 South 6th street, Phil- adelphia. He was considered a capable artist and designer and a sober, indus- trious man. He worked as usual yester- day morning. About 1 o'clock a colored porter entered the art department and found Gedney standing in the middle of the room with a wild, strange look in his eyes. The porter inquired if there was anything wrong. Without answering, Ged- ney took a revolver from a paper box and shot himself through the head, dying in- stantly. In the pockets of the deceased was found $70. It is said that during the past week he had informed several of his fellow work- men that he was in love and wished to marry a certain girl, but volunteered no further information on that subject. ‘A number of Gedney’s friends in this city firmly believe that he committed the rash act while temporarily insane, as he was subject to such spells. "The remains will be brought to the home of the father of the deceased, Mr. Joseph F. Gedney, 419 B street northeast, as soon as they are turned over to Mr. William Gedney by the coroner. = Mrs. Wickes, wife of Thos. H.

Senator Cockrell, from the joint congres- sional committee to inquire into the organ- ization of the various departments, has introduced a bill repealing the existing law requiring the Secretary of War and the quartermaster general to prepare reports of contracts for supplies for submission to Congress Pennsylvania Troops. Representative Sickles of New York has introduced a bill in the House providing that military organizations furnished by Pennsylvania under the President's call of Jtme 15, 1863, which rendered actual military service shall be considered to hav@ tormed a part of the military estab- lishment of the United States. The Secre- tary of War is authorized to issue certifi- cates of discharge for all honorably dis- charged members of the organizations re- ferred to, but no person fs to receive any’ pay, pension, bounty or other allowance by reason of this act. Accrued Pensions. Owing to ambiguities in the present laws relating to the payment of accrued pen- sions and to the conflicting constructions bearing on them the Interior Department a year or more ago entirely suspended action in such cases, A bill on the sub- ject was prepared at the department and sent to both houses of Congress. The Sen- ate in August last passed the bill and it was sent to the House committee on invalid pensions. That committee, however, re- garding its language as somewhat involved, has decided to report a substitute, which, though differing in form from the Senate pill, aims at substantially the same object.
