STATISTICS ABOUT ~ SHEEP. Annual Report of the Chief of the ‘Wool Bureau. DECLINE IN NUMBERS THIS YEAR. Postmaster General Vilas Negotiating . For the Purchase of a House in * Washington—National Cap- ital News. A 0ol Statistios. Warnixeroy, Oct. 26.—The report of Colonel W. I, Switzler, chief of the bureau of statistics, of wool and manufactures of ‘Wwool, shows that the number of sheep in the nited States rose from 16,000,000 in 1840 to 1,000,000 in 1884, but declined to 45,000,000 in 1887, This marked decline occurred mainly in the southern and western states, notably in Texas, and is-attributed in great part to the déeline in the price of wool since 1884, The Argentine Republic is now, next to Great Britain, our source of supply, fol- lowed by Australia. Our imports of wool yose from 1,715,800 pounds in 1822 to 114,038, O pounds since 1887, The increase in wool imports has about kept pace with the wth of our wool products, both ving - about doubled since 1860. The wvalue of our woolen product of 1850 was $25,000,000 in round numbers and of our im- ports $19,000,000, both together being about $1.96 per capita of our population. In 1830 the rrodnct- had grown to $164,000,000 and the imports were valued at $31,000,000, bein $3.91 per capita, Thus, while our products o woolen have increased since 1880 nearly seven-fold, our imports have increased about @ per cent, but the consumption per capita Tys doubled, Which, the statistician says, in- dicates in a striking manner the advance- ment of wealth and comfort in style of living among the people of this country. Statistics of the imports and exports of woolens in the trade of foreign countries show that the United Kingdom is foremost in the foreign trade in woolen, the imports during 1885 smounting in value to #9,000,000 and the ex- rts to $115,000,000. France comes next with imports of 49,000,000 and exports amounting 10 §78,000,000 and Germany next with imports of £25,000,000 and exports of $51,000,000. There has been a large decline the woolen trade of Great Britain since 1874 a8 shown by the exports, which are as follows: Exports dur- ing the five years from 1870 to 1874, $757,000,- 000: during the flve years from 1880 to 1884, 8548,000,000, showing u decline of $239,000,000, or 30 per cent between the two periods. This decline the royal commission on the depres- 8ibn of trade attributes in part to high for- eign tariffs, which, it is claimed, shut out the manufacturers of Great Britain'frou forcign markets. Vilas Preparing for 1888, WasnINGTON, Oct. pecial Telegram 0 the Bre.)—Postmaster General Vilas will shortly purchase a Washington home. 1t will be situated m that ultra-fashionable quarter on K street facing the Franklin square.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. Morgan, rector, and the ceremony was made exceedingly im- pressive by processional hymn of Turle’s mar- riage choral, “Father of Life", sung by the choirsters. Following the bride and bride- groom in procession were tho bride’s step- brother, Mr. Padelford and Mr. S. Holman, Mr. and Miss Holman and others of the fam- ily. At the altar awaiting the bridal party were the groom’s best man, Mr. Dalu, of New York, and another step-brother of the bride, Mr. Padelford, who gave her away. After an impressive marriage service the choir gave Sullivan's marriage anthem, “O God Thou Art Worthy to be Praised,” and the organist played Mendels- sohn’s wedding march. The silk gown of the bride was superb. Her costume was rich with lace and orange buds. A long white trail, over which fell in profusion a long tulle veil, was very effective and exceedingly be- coming to @& bride. The paroness, by the way, is a protty brunette and during the summer was a great belle at Schwalbach. Mrs. Holman wore steel colored velvet em- broidered in silver with a bonnet of the same material and trimming. There were few guests present owing to the short residence Paris of the bride and groom. Among the wife of the United St vice-consul at Hay Mr. and Mrs. Gerr Mrs. Randolph, Mr. Evancis Goodridge, Mrs, and Miss Brouson and otlu Baron Mon- cheur has a leave of absence for six months from Berlin so that he and the Baroness Moncheur will pass the time in Rome. They are to leave Paris to-day for Italy. Chamberlain Criticized [Copyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxnoy, Oct. 26—[New York Herald peeial to the Bee.]—The Herald's as 1o whether Mr, Chamberlain will hington or not continue to vari- ously exercise the metropolitan or provincial press. This evening's Pall Mall Gazette voices thus, what appears to be the general sentiment of the radical or Gladstone press: “Mr. Chamberlain lacks, we fear, one es- sential qualification of a diplomatist; he cannot hold his tongue. His ref- crences to Canada the other day were unfortunate enough, but his apology for them yesterday was worse, Still when you make a blunder in a matter like that the only thing to do is to let it be forgot- ten, as far as possible. This elementary rule of diplomacy Mr. Chamberiain has still to learn. Yesterday he insisted on enlarging upon his original text and dilating on the very slender tic which bound Cananda to the mother country and on the confiict of inter- ests between them., A more injudicious line to take on tho eve of his departure to act ns imperial embassador on Canada’s behalf, it would be hard to conceive. For, not content with quarrelling with Cunada, Mr. Chamberlain promptly procéeded to fall foulof a Jurge and influential section of Americans. It is already notorious that Mr. Chamberlain’s bitterly antiIrish attitude will not tend to malke him a persona gratia in the United States.

St. Lovis, Oct. 26, pecial Telegram to the Bre.]—The concluding game of the world's championship serios was played here to-day before a crowd of 800, The weather was cold and the players were ready to quit at the conclusion of the sixth inning. The St. Louis men did the cleanest and hardest hitting that they have yet done and won the game with case, although there was clearly no intentional let-down in the work of the Detroits. Both sides were guilty of errors, but most of them were on difficult plays, tho batting being sharp. Latham’s bases on balls, errors by Baldwin and Richardson and O'Neill's three-bagger gave St. Louis three in the first, and singles by Robinson, Bush- ong, Lyons and Comiskey, with Latham's double, yielded them four in the second. The runs in the fourth and fifth were made on er- rors.

Derrorr, Mich., Oct. 26.—Fred Dunlap, the star second baseman of the champion League club, is to be released. New York has offered £5,000 for him. Dunlap has not been entirely satisfactory. It is alleged that recent events have shown that he has been the spirit of some strife in the team, and his reputation as isory has caused him all along to be picion by many of the players. Dunlap plays ball for the money there is in it, and is willing to go to New York. His present contract calls for 4,500 a year, with an extra_$1,000 at the end of the season, De- troit paid #1,000 for him two years ago, and s done good work for them.

Curcaco, Oct. 20.—An informal meeting of the representatives of the new Western Base Ball league was held this morning at the Tremont house. The league is represented by C. M.

Menges, the Kansas City representative, had not arrived this morning and consequently no businesgwas done, the members present de- voting ®eir time to reading the constitution of the National league and making such changes in it as are necessary to make it fit the requirements of the new league. Menges arrived in the afternoon and the new league was organized, Samuel Morton, of Chicago, was elected president, secretary and treasurer.

Owmana, Neb,, Oct. 26.~To the Editor of the Bee: I noticed anjprticle in your paper afew days since headed, “Victim of the Faith Cure,” “Death of a Woman Who Scorned Human Remedies.” Tu this article the author called the Scientists Charleton’s of the faith cure and said that a simplejopera- tion could have removed the trouble, but in- stead of doing this she squandered her money on these Charletons of faith cure and died when she might casily have been saved. When I read that article it impressed me as being very unjust, from tho fact that T have had eight years' experience in mental healing and am aware of the fact that this class of physicians very rarely got cases of this kind to treat until medical aid has first been tried until all hope of help from that source has been abandoned. This fact led me in justice to the science “that is proving such a great blessing to humanity,” us well as to the friends of the deceased, to ascertain the facts which I did & i to the house and interviewing onc of the family, and these are the facts as given to me by the party, Mrs, Baldwin came from Blair here and for a time_employed Dr. Coffman; did not remember just how long but as long as it seemed best, as she did not improve and this, too, at or near the begin- ning of her trowble. Failing in this they took her to the Medioal Institute in this city, where she had an operation performed. After this she gradually fafled and was able to do very little if any work after- wards, and fecling that they had tested medical skill until it was _uscless to try that longer, they appealed to the seien- tist, as many another has done, in the hope that she as well as hundreds of others might get well. But it being a scvere case and far advanced was hard to reach and did not re- spond as readily as desired and the friends g aaxious to loave nothing undono for or relief they wgain called Dr, Coffman. He visited her and performed anofher operation, and when asked by a member of the family it she was in a dangerous condition, replied no, that she would get along all right now, but instead of that she sank rapidly until donth reliaved hor of suftering. I now leave these facts, just as I reccived them, for the public to decide where the trifling came in, Perhaps, however, in justice to_the scientist who_treated her, T ought to add that a very small amount of money was squandered on him, for, as my informant stated, he was very kind and took but a very smali sum for his services. A Lovig oF JUSTICE. ——— The lection Law. OMAIL:, Neb,, Oct. 26.—To the Editor of the Ber: Since the supreme court has de- clared the clecttion law, as enacted by the present legislature for metropolitan citics, to istitutional and void, the question has @ : “Have we any election law at all governing metropolitan cities, and, if not, who is to appoint officgrs to conduct the coming election®” 1t is evident that the old:law does not apply 1o metropolitan cities, becyuso at the time of its age no such cities existed in Nebraska therefore, it could not have been contem- plated by the logislature that they should be included therein. And it is undoubtedly true that we have no registration law in Omaha, But as far as the officors of election are con- rmed, such as judges and, poll clerks, thero need be no inconveniepce whatever becauso the law has wisely provided thut when officers have been nproinml pursuant to & public un- constitutional law beford the same is ad- mtted to be such they .awe officers de facto until their successors ave lawfully appointed, or until the office which they fill §s abolished. This doctrine has been fugaly established by decisions of the supremg courts of Massa- chusetts, Connecticut aud various other states. Therefore, as oftices still exist, and as the mayor and cpuncil appointed offi- cers to fill them under the law providing for their appointment was declared void, they may still act until some other provision is made.

An Eloquent Discourse at the First M. E. Churoh. Bishop C. H. Fowler, now on his way to San Francisco, preached at the First Meth- odist Episcopal church last evening before a very large congregation. He is a very elo- quent and expressive speaker, and was cagerly listened to by the large congregation present, He took his text from KFirst Tim- othy 4:8. In opening his sermon he sald: ““The short Saxon putting of what I wish to express is that ‘Godliness pays. The soul, like ancient Rome, is approachable by many avenues, and along those many roads can be the many powers marching on apture that citadel, the soul. From a distance we_look at the picture, Into the stream of passion God launches his gunboats and secks to capture tho heart. He thunders out, ‘Son, give Me thine heart.' In my text he presents tha price of our salvation—a poeculiar bargain, He bears the risk, and wo in a fairsense get the profit, God does not treat us as a stern, -ixnv-tmg&udm. He is lenient and waits patiently and gives us a big chance 1o make the bargain; he furnishes the capital and we reap all of the Yl‘oflt!. Taking this investment with its toils as well as its thro) and its crosses as well as its crowns you ill find it a winsome. Every thing possiblo to induce us to make this invest- ment is done, Heaven's beauties, the pearly gates, tho strotts of gold and the wonderful throne are portrayed to us, and on the other side the darkness and the fire of hell is shown. The investment he asks us to make is godliness, Now, to have the latter ‘we must freely surrender self. The surren- der is not a question of equity, a question of fortune, or a question of culture. Self is a hard thing to give up. Then, to complete the saleable article you must put the price in dollars and cents, for that is too low a standard. In religion & man's life is not worth a cent more than the religion costs. What it costs that is it worth. You will find that it is easior and cheaper to carry the burden of the church than not to carry it. You cannot speculate on the vices of men in christianity, and con- sequently some say that christianity is disad- vantageous. You cannot freely rent your buildings for rum shops, nor can you hang around the legislature and profit from the cheap character of the legislators, Neither can you spoculate on men’s souls, Godliness is profitable from the thoughts it awnkens and the themes it presents, and it is also profitable in the fellowships that it forms, and lastly in immortality. pahie b Matters Political. The republicans of the Second ward held a meeting last evening in a building on the cor- ner of Bighteenth and Vinton streets, Thero ‘was a good attendance and considerable en- thusiasm. Quite a number of speeches were made, mainly by the candidates, and all were warmly applauded.

A FRENCH SWINDLE. are reg- mith, of Paxton’s How Several Scotch Insurance Com- panies Were Defrauded. Paris Correspondence of tho Epoch: Another sensation of the week is the arrest of a quack doctor, a chemist, and and two or three other persons who have cheated three Scotch insurance companies out of the bagatelle of $60,000. Novelists and playwrights who are in search of material for an inter- esting book or drama should read all the details of this Castelnan case, of which I can only sketeh an outline. A German baron and naturalized American (all foreign adventurers who get into trou- ble here call themselves Americans) named Carl Von Scheurer, came to Paris i years ago from London, he hud aban- doned his wife, and engaged hoard at a_pension for himself and mistress, Julienne Bakfalula. At this boarding hose he became nequainted with a quack doctor named Castelnan, and the two concocted the plan to swindle the insurance companies. Scheurer went to London in the spring of 1883, effected the insurance on his life in favor of his mistress and returned to Paris. Shortly afterwards Dr. Castel- nan hired a cottage at Meudon and was there joined by Sheurer and Mille. Bakfalula, The German soon disap- wred _and replaced by a man in last, stages of consump- tion, Carl Glockner, who had been induced by the harmacien Martinet to leave Paris on the plea that Dr. Castelnan had discovered a sure remedy for his disease and asking noth- ing better than to try its properties on him gratis. In November of that yecar the consumptive died and was buried under the name of Carl von Scheurer Julienne Bakfalula lost no time in put ting up o wooden cross to the departed “pegretted by his family,” and in noti fying the insurance companies that Scheurer was dead. An inspector came to Meudon and made the usual inquiries. Dr. Castelnan, the servant, Mlle. Bakfalula and the physician who attended the consumptive swore before the English consul hero that Scheurer had died at Muedon on November 20, 1883, Consequently the companies l\Md, in January, 1884, the amount of insurance to Mlle. Bakfalulo, who gave $5,000 to the chemist for him- self and Dr. Castelma Then she quitted Meudon to rejoin the Baron, and at the present moment the where- abouts of these two interesting persons are unknown. ¥ The arrest of Dr. Castelnan has thrown the radical socialist into conster- nation. The doctor was a frequenter of their meetings and often advocated their theories from the platform. He was, besides, the ‘“‘scientific” editor of Rochefort’s Intransigean 1 leave you to imagina if his arrest hasannoyed the witty but thoughtless chroniqueur, this pure of the pures who is always pitehing into everybody. Rochefort permitted Castelnan, who never had a iploma, to insult Pasteur and ridicule his theories and to indulge in a lot of medico-sociological rubbish that was the lnughing-stock of the paper. TRochefort’s vaudeville political articles furnish all the humorous food his read- ers care for, Castelnan is seven years old. 3 2 lady whom he wished to marry. tempted suicide by shooting himself in the mouth. The only result was to tako off his nose instead of his hend, and to- day the doctor is as repulsive as. his thoories.
