Loxpox, Oct. 4. —Speaking to a deputation at Hawarden to-day, Gladstone said that although the Ilberals sustained a crushing defeat at the last eloction, the present year was full of signs that the judgment of the nation. when azain promounced, would be far different. The Irish question continued to east into deep shade every other question. He did not believe the end would be long delayed. Luttle progress would be possible in Enelish and Scottish affairs until the Irish question was brought to Dfli’ corsumma- tion, ‘This it was, said b at caused the block in the last session of parliament.

Harrington Oreates a Sensation. LoNDoN, Oct. 4—During the inquest to- day in the case of the victins who were shot by the police at Mitchellstown recently, Har- rington caused a soene by openly declaring that the police who had testitied hud com- mitted perjury. Head Constable Browning declared that he valued the lives of the police more than he did the lives of the rioters. Secoret Conference of Socialists. BeruN, Oct. 4.—A secret conference of German socialists has bean held at St. Gall, Switzerland, The speakers bitterly de- nounced the course pursued by the socialist deputies in the reichstag. A resolution was adopted condemning the opportunist policy of the deputies under the lead of Sebel and Lieb- knecht, who were charged with coquetting with other parties, compromising the inde- pendence and revolutionary character of the socialistic movement. ieports were read showing that since the previous conference the socialists of Germany have spent 170,000 marks, of which 100,000 were used for election expenses and 50,000 for defending members who had been prosecuted. RUINED BY OPIUM. A Famous Actress Reduced to Pov- erty By the Drug. NEW YoRg, Oct. 4.—|Special Telegram to the Begs.j—The Sun says: Miss Sara Jew- ett, formerly leading lady of the Unlon Square theater, applied yesterday to the actors charity fund for money to buy the necessities of life, The story of Miss Jew- ett’s misfortune has no parallel among the famous actresses of tho American stage. When the collapse of the Union Square thea- ter came, Charles Thorne died, and the strongest company of the times was dis- banded. Sara Jewett was inundated with offers from managers all over the country. She went out with one company after an- other, but neverstayed any length ot time, but invariably came back to New York,expres. sing more or less dissatisfaction with her en- gagements, No one seemed to suspect the true cause of her repeated failures as there never was & question of her abilityas an actress. Last nightin the Hoffman house, one of her former managers was asked about tnis portion of Miss Jewett’'s career. e chewed the end of his cizar moodily for a moment and then sald: “‘Opium is at the bottom of all her trouble. It numbs all of her sunses, makes her utterly stupid, destroys her ability, has in fact threatened to wreck what was once one of the most beautiful and intelligent actress on the American stage. The craze began shortly after Miss Jewett loft the Unlon Square theater. Like most pevple of intense artistic temperament, the drug excited her violently, and svon gota grip that nothing has been able to loosen. It simply transtorms her when she is under its influence, and her will has grown weaker and weaker as her excesses have increased, until nothing ot the brilliant_woman who once held complete sway in New York re- mains but a physical wreck. Mainagers have had extraordinary trouble with Miss Jewets, from the fact that her nature, dignity and gontleness warded off for a time all in- quiries, but aftera little she became so ut- terly fuddled that her friends made an effort to save her. Kvery effort up to this time has utterly failed. One by one her friends have been alienated, until ‘now few of them re- main, She was only t¥o weeks in my com- pany, and then we were obliged to cancel her contract. Palmer hasbeen a staunch and¢ ood help to her throughout, for he never fm!ls to realize how much she had to do with the success of his lirst troupe. 1f it had been in his power there is no doubt he would have restrained her from applying to public char- ity, but the limit was reached long axo.” "Tha above story about Miss Sara Jewett is hardly borne out by the following interview with Mr, Paliner which will appear to.mor- row in the Sun: Mr, Palmer said; “M®ss Jewett never upplied to me for assistance, and never gave her my personal check for $150. Regarding the opium llal")'. that is also untrue. The lady is not well and is under treatment by a physician ata well known watering place near this city, » I trust that in & short time she will be entirely well Assistant retary Baker, of the actors’ fund, said: 'he lady was under my stage direction in San Francisco and she never showed uny sign of using elther morphine or opium.” ———— Hazing in Williams College. Norrit ADAMS, Mass., Oct. 4.—|Special Telegram to the Bee|—There is great vxcite- ment among the students of Willlams' col- lege over the hazing of George Choate, of the treshman class. ‘The faculty of the college is making a thorough 1nvestigation of haz- ingand they will do all n their power to stamp it out. President Carter says that if Choute was ibjured seriously, mentally and physically, as reported, he would leave no stone unturned to bring the fiu!lty students to justice, which means expulsion {from the college. 'The professors all expressed their determination to assist the president in stampng out this barbarous custom.

The banquet was all that could be desired and was a credit to the board of trade and to the caterer having it in charge, Robert Law. The menu was printed upon pearl white !rin}ed satin, attached to a fancy fi:lde ed card by blue and red rib- ms. On the latler was a picture of the board of trade building, and the names of the various dedicatory com- mittees. Between this aud the satin menu was the toast card. ‘THE TOASTS. After the banquet had been dismissed for nearly an hour the speech making commenced. W. V. Morse wus toast master, and in his greeting he said: With 80 many Interesting topics to be spoken of here to»ulfm. and with somany wentlemen present well qualified to address and interest you, it seems hardly necessary for me to occupy your time any longer than to extend one and all a hearty greeting and to wish vou an enjovable feast. 1 would, however, before Introducing the speakers ot the avening, ask permission to add my words of praise, in honor of the men wio have maintained the organization of this body since its formation, and who have success- fully earried it forward to the present hour of 1ts prosperity. Our city has not nlwu{n been as prosperous as it 1s to-day. But in her darkest hours these men have always been staunch ana loyal to her interests, and althongh at times only two or thres would meet together, still vizorous action on what- ever subject was under debate. Su much for the past of this body. To-day our bank clearauces, our great buildings, constructed or under construction, our great packing industries, our wonderful silver and ®old smelting works, our graneries and our corp fields—all these and many more are our treasures, and are the evidence of the great- ness of our city; these are our references, these our jewels, au 1 not resolutions alone. It is not ‘well that we should see the future. Could we do o, we might neglect the efforts which are pecessary to accomplish results, But if in fancy we could at some post day have seen the brilliant scene which is spread before us to-nizht—if, for insiance, on that night when word came shat the United States supreme court bad decided againat us in the transfer suit, and had declared Council Bluffs the terminus of the Union Faclfic railroad—if on that night, when we heard the booming of guns from Across the river, celebrating their victory and our defeat, we could have but seen forward to this hour it would indeed have been a glorious vision. How little thought we then. that the time would come when there would be present as there are here to-night, as members of this board, representatives of the princely houses of the Armours, the Swifts, the llammonds, the Fowlers. and others equally illustrious in trade annals, These men are here as builders and co-workers with us in our giant city and we extend to them a_cordial welcome ™ from our very hearts. I say gentlewen, with Tiny Tiin, **God bless vou every one.” Fred W. Gray, in resnense o the ‘City of Omaha," swid: “Omaha is & large subjeot. 1 have avery peculiar feeling for Umaha, having no other home and baving come directly from the other side to this city. Omaha has always used me well, and” when I speak of her I speak from my heart. There are many rea- sons why Omaha is a great and growing cl(l. First we notice its superior class of business men, and [ say this without -egotism. The city 'is full of reliable, emergetic_and ente ond, the city has re; 10 fact tha lveliest that 1 ever ind in any city of ‘shis size in any part of the country. Thirl, we recognize the strength and character ot our banks. have often referred/ with pride to the time when the Omaha banks went through the panic s of 1873 and paid 100 cents on every ar.’ Judge Savage r‘(zpondod to “‘Welcome to our guests. 9, pddress was purely a welcome one, atd was intersperced with much of his chafacteristic good wit and humor. 18 Senator Mande responded for the “State of Nebrasky.)' He spoke of the oarly days of Nebraska as a territory, of 1ts admission to the-Union. In continu- ing he said: *1 take but little comfort in the coming visit of President Cleve- Innd to this city. When he leaves Omaha he will know but little more about it, or the state of Nebraska, than he did before he came here. 1 would like to have him visit the various cities, see their marvelous growth, and see them as they develop mto wonders. One of the evils that exists in this city 1 desire to speak of. There are, as you all know, the customs port and the border, and ports of delivery in the interior. By these two offices the importers of Omaha are losing money every day. It, however, 18 much different with the eastern importers, the New York men for instance. If a New Yorx man has an importation arrive he has it ap- praised immediately and sent to his ehouse. It is diffierent with the importer. He has his goods lsying in the ous- om house awailing the examnation of the appraiser. Not being there tourge the works on, thers is consequently much delay and a great loss results here. Then, again, there 18 breakage and transporta: tion, which makes another loss. What Omnha should be is an *“‘immediate trans- portation’’ port. The east is fighting against this, but we should show the W“t east that there is a still greater west. hat we must have is a united delega- tion to the departments, and if we can have this from all over the state Umaha will have the evil, which is impeding its commercial progrw to a con- siderable extent, abated within a few years. And at this point I request that the importanee of this matter be im- pressed upon the state delogation to the national curitnl. and that they be given instances of the losses sustained.” In closing he spoke of the need of a uew postoffice in Omaha and of the fact that the present one was erected when the city had but 15,000 inhabitants. He believed that an appropriation of $1,500,- 000 should be had for the erection of a ostoftice building in this city, and he be- jeved that by firm united work the building would soon be ereoted. At this point Congressman Dorsey, of Fremont, was called upon. He gave a neat address, congratulating the board upon the elegance of its new structure, and upon the wonderful growth of the city. In closing he offered the following toast: ‘“To the Gate City—may the cens sus of 1000 give 300,000 Lappy, contented and prosperous people within your bor- ers. ing _men. dece five nows- Thomas L. Kimballpwho was to have responded to the toast, ‘“The Railroads,™ was called away enk"ly in the evening, and Judge Savage' read the response prepared: The railgoads, snid Mr. Kim- ball, furnisn us, to my mind, one of the broadest and profoundest studies of the grand era in which ‘we live, and one which should challenge the close and vigilant attention b! every man and woman who would promote the material, moral and sociul welfare of mankind. Mr. Woolworth Iast evening gave us the startling figures which mark the prog- ress of Omuha during the last decade, and properly accorded to this board of trade and to the plucky, enterprising business men of this city full credit for their achievements, hut ke left it for me to add that but for our railroads the In- dians might still hold the greund where now stands this splendid temple of com- merce; Omaha might to-day be little better than an Indian trading post, and this great state, with its millions of acres of unrivaled farms, might still have re- mained the Indian’s hunting ground. Facts and tigures were given to show what the railroads had accomplished for Omaha, the receints and shipments of freight during 1886, showing a grand total of 2,248,952,687 pounds. The ad- dress closed as follows: *“The people of another town or county are no longer strangess. Frequent intercourse begets good fellowship. One may eat his break- fast in Omaha and before sunset reach any part of our broad state. Through raliroads we are all neighbers, and hence friends, our feelings, our sentiments, our interests become onu and common to all. And as with the reople of a state, 80 with the citizens of all states. Railroad inter- course and famiharity makes us a homo- geneous and vatriotio people—and the rails of our‘railroads are bands of steci binding our states into one indissoluble union. Someone has said thatiron is the great civilizer of the age, It is true—and nowhere is iron more potent in that grand work than when in the use and service of the railroads.” W. A. L. Gibbon, when oalled upon to speak for “The Trade Manufacturers and Industries of Omaha,” said: ‘“‘Advance- ment in commercial intercourse was known in the earliest of days, and there has always been a steady growth of natural rosources, From them sprung the fabric of civilization. The import- ance of the trade or industries of a cit; depends greatly uflon the geographical position, and Omaha is one of the most advantageously situated of any city in the interior, The average increase in population of Omaha has been doubled every five years for the past twenty-eight years. The ratio of increase has been greater the past fifteen years than the fivst ten years. The banking growth has been marvelous, as well as our merch: andise business, and, in fact, every kind of legitimato business 1 this cf What we, to-day, mainly need is equi able road rates to protect the com- merce of Omaha, and if we gain these, as we hope in the near future, the commerce of Omaha will grow with greater strides than it e did before.” Henry W. Gates on ‘‘Banks and Bank- ing’ made an intereshng address, giving @ kiswry of the busigess from the early days of the city, of its wonderful growth and of 1ts magnitude to-day. Ih the absence of Bishop' Worthington the toast, ‘“I'he Clergy,” was responded to by the very Rev.Dean Gurdner of Trinity cathedral, He'made a pleasaut and interesting repiy? W. J. Connell was. the next speaker. He responded to the toast *‘Public Im- provements in Omaha.” He said: ‘Omaha, like New York, Chicago, and many other large cities, has experienced two kinds of improvements—one of a temporary character, the other of a per- manent character. In the latter is found the moral power of pgogress and suc- cess.’’ In closing he made the following statement, prepared by humself and the tity engineer: X Pavements laid prior to 1357, 14,71 miles at a cost of §1,483,000. Pavements laid during 184 to the present time, 5 miles, atu cost of $207,411.57. Pavement nqw under contract and in process of construction. 3.60 miles, at estimated cost, according to contract, of 200,585.54. Making a erand total, when cowpleted, of 23.31 miles at a cost of §1,08,- 000, Yn other words, at the end of the present season we will ve over twenty-three miles of pavement, at a cost of 2lisst two million dollars, ‘T'ne amount of curbing already completed during the present season is about ten miles at a cost of about $50,000, and which with curb- ing previously completed, and now under colmmz. will ‘make a total of about &fty miles.

St. Nicholas: OUne of the great in- dustrics of Amsterdam is the cutting and polishing of diamonds; and nearly all the finest diamonds in the world are brought here to be cut into shape. We will make a visit to onc of the prin- cipal diamond establishments, and when we get there I think we shall be surprised to find a great factory, four or five stories high, a steam engine in' the basement, and fiy- wheels, and leathern bands, and all sorts of whirring machinery in the different stories. On the very top floor the dia- . monds wre finished and polished, and here we see skilful workmen sitting fore rapidly revolving disks of steel against which the diamonds are pressed and polished. < It requires great skill, time and pa- tience before one of these valuable gems 18 got into that shape in which it will best shine, sparkle and show its purity. Nearly half the diamonds produced in the world, the best of which ceme from Brazil, are sent to this factory to be cut and polished. Hero the great Koh-i- noor was cut; and we are shown models of thatand of other famous diamonds that were cut in these rooms.
