2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1895. this State, with unofficial but partially complete figures from the other coonties, give Palmer 600,950 votes and King 503 811, a Republican plurality of 97,169. There are half a dozen districts yet to be heard from in St. Lawrence, Greene, Fulton and Hamilton counties, and the plurality may be still further idfcreased. Complete figures of the vote for and against canal improvement are not yet obtainable. Inthirty-three counties which have been heard from the plurality for the improvement amounts to nearly 175,000. Seventeen of these counties were opposed, while sixteen were in favor. New York, Rochester and Buffalo gave such a large vote for the proposition that the adverse vote of the interior counties went for naught. Little attention has been paid to tabulating the vote on the canal proposi- tion and accurate figures will not be known until official returns are filed at Albany. COLUMBUS, Onio, Nov. 7.—According to the official returns received by the Republican State executive committee up to 1 o'clock to-day from about three- fourths of the county chairmen, taken in connection with telegraphic reports to the daily newspapers from certain remaining counties, estimating the probable result from the best information obtainable in others, the indications are that Bushnell’s plurality will exceed 110,000. RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 7.—Official re- turns from the election come in slowly. Of twenty Senators elected fifteen are Demo- crats, and certainly three and perhaps five are opposition. Of the twenty hold-over Senators nineteen are Democrats. DENVER, Coro., Nov. 7.—While a com- plete but unoflicial return shows Lebert (R.) to have a slight plurality over Kindel for the office of County Clerk, only the official canvass next week will settle the matter. Charges of tampering with the returns are made, and a sensational strug- gle for the office will ensue. To-day Le- bert, who is the present Clerk, guarded the doors of his office with Deputy Sheriffs fully armed, and vpermitted no one to enter but those whom he trusted. Kindel appeared with a revolver plainly in sight and blusteringly defied the crowd to touch him, but he made no effort to get behind the counter in the Clerk’s office. IDMIBAL SHUFELDT GONE, Close of a Naval and Diplomatic Career of Exceptional Brilliancy. During the Civil War He Made a Gal- lant Record and Was Always Loyal to the Union. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.—Rear- Admiral Shufeldt died at his residence in this city at 10:25 o’clock this morning. The death of Robert Wilson Shufeldt closes a naval and diplomatic career of exceptional brilliancy. Just before the commencement of the civil war he was commanding the Quaker City, plying between New York and Havana, when he was appointed Consul- General to Cuba by President Lincoln. At the outbreak of hostilities he promptly volunteered for naval duty, was appointed lieutenant and ordered to command the Quaker City, that ship having been turned over to the United States Government. Secretary of State Seward hade him at once returned to Havana to perform im- portant service, for he was deemed specially qualified, and which, it is believed, pre- vented much aid to the Confederacy from the Spanish colonies. In 1881, while naval attache at Peking as special agent of the United States with plenipotentiary powers, he secured the treaty which opened Korea to the world and recognized that state as an independ- ent nation. Subsequently he was urgentiy requested by Cnhina’s Emperor, through Li Hung Chang, to take command of the Chinese navy and coast defenses and was made Honorary Adviser to the Empire. He de- clined these honors with their attractive emoluments, preferring to remain in the United States service,but upon hisadvice Li Hung Chang fortilied Port Arthur as the chief strategic point of the coast line. On his return home he was made president of the naval advisory board,which designed the first steel cruiser and mapped out the new navy. He was promoted to rear-admiral May 7,1883, and was retired February 21, 1884. S STARTED BY ARMENIANS. Reports on Recent Killing From a Turk- ish Point of Fiew. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.—The Turkish Legation has received the follow- ing telegram from the Sublime Porte un- der yesterday’s date: All news concerning plots, threatening letters and supposed dissatisfaction in the ranks of the army and navy are intentionally propagated by well-known newspaver correspondents af- filiated with the Armenian committees to alarm public opinion. As for the oft-repeated assertion of the intended extermination of the Armenians it is too absurd to be contradicted. The efforts of the imperial Government tend, on the contrary, to quell the revolt of the Armenians and to resist their criminal and bloody agitation. The Armenian agitation at Diarbekir was on the point of subsiding when the Armenians began again their attacks on the Mussulmans by throwing bombs at them, and by firing at the Muezzins at the very time when the latter were calling the faithful to prayer. Dur- ing the affray fifty Musselmansand ninety Armenians were killed and wounded. Armenian rioters attacked the patrols at Sivriki, killing a few Mussulmans and setting fire to the bazaar. Two hundred Armenian revolutionists, having at their head Kevrok, chief of the Parish of Ferns (Maragh), attacked the village of Tchon- kour Higgar and killed twelve Mussul- mans. —_—— OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Why Mails Are Mauled by Stage Two Hundred Miles in Arizona. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.—Frank Murphy, president of the Santa Fe, Pres- cott and Pheenix Railroad, and brother of the Delegate to. Congress from Arizona, has a row with the Postoffice Department because he cannot get the same rate for transporting United States mail, by weight, that other roads get. Rather than pay what Mr. Murpby demands the stage- coach 1s still employed for the entire 200 miles, although it takes six days to trans- port by stage the distance which the rail- road trains make in six hours. Governor Hughes sought to interfere in Murghy‘s behalf, but was vractically told by Assistant Postmaster-General Neilson that he had better attend to his own business.

TO EXTEND CHURCHES Meeting of the Board for the Methodist Episco- pal Work. BISHOPS IN ATTENDANCE Reports of Receipts for the Year Show a Decrease in the Collections. APPORTIONMENT OF FUNDS. Bishop Goodsell Causes the California Assessment to Be Somewhat Lowered. CHICAGO, Irr., Nov. 7.—The Board of Church Extension of the Methodist Epis- copal church began its annual meeting here this morning in the First M. E. Church. Among those present were the following Bishops: Thomas Bowman, R. F. Foster, Stephen W. Merrill, Edward Andrews, Cyrus W. Foss, John Hurst,Wil- liam X. Nidde, W. F. Mallalien, Charles H. Fowler, John H. Vincent, James Fitz- gerald, I. W. Joyce, J. P. Newman and J. D. Goodsell. The officers of the church extension board present are: Corresponding secre- taries, W. A. Spencer and A. J. Kynett; assistant corresponding secretary, W. Manley S. Hard; recording secretary, J. S. J. McConnell, who is also secretary of the general committee; treasurer, James Long; seven representatives of the board, all from Philadelphia, and a delegate from each general conference district. Bishop Thomas Bowman of St. Louis, the senior Bishop, called the meeting to order at 10 o’clock. Dr. McConneil, the record- ing secretary, read the treasurer’s report of the receipts and disbursements of the board from November 1, 18%4, to October 31,1895. A comparison with the receipts of the last fiscal year shows a decrease in conference collections of §12,116 32, an in- crease In personal gifts ot $16,506 06, and a net increase in the general fund of $47 5 The greatest receipts for church exten- sion work in any one year were in 1892, when they aggregated $206,371 91, declin- ing since then because of the business de- pression, but showing a slight increase in 1895 over the preceding year. The largest receipts from conference collections were $158,949, also in 1892. The decline in col- lections was attributed to the general financial depression and also to the grant- ing of large aid to a few costly churches. A partial examination of the collections from year to year indicates that compar- tively few of all the churches assisted re- member und recognize the obligation which gratitude as well as interest in the cause should inspire. Reports of the representatives of the General Conference districts were brought up. Rev. J. M. Durrell of New Hampshire speeking for the New England Conference criticized the policy of the board in re- quiring mortgages from churches, securing loans and personal security from the trustees as well. Rev. W. S. Huntington of Nebraska said they had not been building churches there the last two years, because the people had been fighting for bread. Most of the representatives made verbal reports con- taining little of importance. At the afternoon session Bishop R. F. Foster presided. A long discussion took place on the rule forbidding donations to churches costing over $19,000, the question being raised as to whether this sum should include the cost of the ground or not. Bishop W. F. Mallalieu moved a resolu- tion declaring that in considering applica- tions for assistance the estimated cost of $10,000 should not be taken to include the cost of the ground. Bishop C. W. Foss moved a substitute that $10,000 should be construed to mear the cost of building. J. W. Broughton thought that the present state of the treasury would not justify any enlargement of the existing conditions re- quired by the board. The substituted resolution of Bishop Foss was in the end adopted. The follow- ing committee was appointed to consider the special applications for loans and do- nations: Bishop Mallalieu, Rev. A. J. Kynett, W. H. Shire, W. J. Paxton and J. B. Scott. Bishop Newman mentioned the case of Trinity Church, Omaha, which had been granted a loan of $4000, and had up to the present time paid no interest. Owing toa defaulting treasurer the church had sus- tained a loss of $7000. A wealthy member of the congregation was now willing to pay the society its loan of $4000, provided the payment of interest was waived. Secretary Kynett objected to this pro- posal, saying that he could make any num- ber of similar arrangements all over the country. The most important business of the meet- ing, the apportionment of sums to he raised by the various conferences, was next taken up. At the outset it was decided that the aggregate amount should be the same as last year ($315,800). T@e amount charged to each conference was then taken up separately, and but few changes were made from last year’s assessment, Bishop Goodsell moved that the amouat of §3000 levied on California should be re- duced by $500, and that the latter sum be added to Upper Jowa. It was ultimately decided that California should be allowed the reduction and that the aggregate amount to be raised should be reduced in that sum. A reduction of §50 on another district was taken off, leaving the net amount $315,250. Secretary Kynett asked that the sum al- lowed for the contingency fund be in- creased from $12,900 to at least $75,000. The treasury was, he said, $25,000 behind on the interest fund in the last two years and the $50,000 which they had raised on bonds two years ago would be due in three years and no provision for taking up these bonds had been made. He also asked that the amount for the emergency fund be increased from $6800 to $15,000, which was agreed to. The contingency fund was allowed $50,000. No charge was made in the allowance for office expenses, $24,000. By these changes the baiance re- maining for appropriations to the confer- ences is $45,450 less than last year.

The otner lines show an_aggregate increase for the month of $28,447. A TRIO OF SWINDLERS. They Evaded Arvest After Duping New Hampshire Doctors. KEENE, N. H., Nov. 7.—G. E. Hager and wife of New York and G. E. Howard of Chicago were the names given by a slick trio of swindlers who have been trying to work the doctors of this city as supposed agents of the “Eureka Coliecting Agency.” The plan proposed was to admit phy cians here to life membership for $15 each, and two or three signatures were obtained on condition that afi agreed, and such con- tract was soon produced signed by eleven physicians, so the first two or three paid. The next victim was suspicious, how- ever. He investigated, and found ten of the eleven signatures to be clever forgeries. All three were captured late last night at the City Hotel, whither they had gone after jumping tbeir board bill at the Che- shire House.” Here they were locked ina room and left in charge of the porter while the officer went for assistance. When he returned the trio had flown, and now the officers have nothing left for their trouble but the forged contracts and a bag con- taining other papers. e CIGARETTES IN SEMINARIES. Some Startling Statements Made at a W. C. T. U. Convention. OBERLIN, Onro, Nov. 7.—The second day of the non-partisan W. C. T. U. Con- vention opened more auspiciously than vesterday. New delegates had arrived and new life was added. The morning session was devoted to reports of rescue work and young women'’s work. Miss Ingersoll and Miss Wittenmeyer made some startling statements regarding the cigarette habit. One female seminary they had visited disclosed the fact that a great majority of the girls smoked cigar- ettes. Mrs. Colonel Springer of Towa and Mrs. E. Nearl of Illinois were appointed Na- tional organizers. The last Sunday in November was estab- lished as permanent temperance day. Mrs. C. C. Alford was elected president for next vear. All other officers were re-elected. Mrs. J. B. Weeks was reappointed editor of the union paper. NAVAL ARCHITECTS MEET, Their Third Annual Gathering With the Marine Engineers. Speakers Demand American Maritime Development and Completion of the Nicaragua Canal. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 7.—The third general meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers con- vened here to-day. The nominating com- mittee made its report, recommending the re-election of the present officers. =~ Presi- dent Clement A. Griscom, in thanking the society for the honor conferred by re- electing him to the presidency for the third time, referred to the growing impor- tance of the work of the organization and urged constant liberality in providing for the navy. The American flag, he said, should pro- tect citizens in every quarier of the globe, and it was a subject of National humilia- tion that so small an amount of our com- merce was carried under the American flag. Captain Henry C. Taylor, U. S. N., pres- ident of the Naval War College, read a paper on ‘‘American Maritime Develop- ment.” He showed the increasing impor- tance to the United States of the commerce of the Pacific Ocean. He pointed out the directions of the connection between San Francisco and Yokohama and other east- ern points, and alluded to the adaptability of the Aleutian Islanas as coaling stations. The speaker dwelt at some length upon the great importance of the Nicaragua canal to the commerce of the United States, and urged the society to devote especial effort to its consideration and in its behalf. He alsourged the study of liquid fuel as a means of increasing the carrying space of vessels. Admiral Meade suggested that the so- clety petition Congress in favor of the Nicaragua canal. “I believe it isto be built,” he said, ““and no foreign corpora- tion should build it. It should be built by the American Government. I am no jingo, but I am freely of this opinion. ‘““General Grant’s head was level when he wanted to get San Domingo, and he could have had it but for petty jealousies. We should'let folks on the other side of the ocean know that if there is land lying around loose on this continent the United States is residuary legatee.” Admiral Meade, General Hyde, Captain Miller and Lewis Nixon were appointed a committee to consider the formulation of a testimonial to Congress and to report to the society before its final adjournment to-morrow. e Will Publish the News. DENVER, Coro., Nov. 7.—Incorporation papers were filed here to-day stating that the Denver Evening Post had changed hands, the new proprietors being Fred- erick G. Bonfils of Kansas City, H. H. Tamman of Denver and Carl Letzberger. It is the purpose of the ownersto make a great paper of the Post, and as an earnest of their intent $100,000 has been deposited in one of the banks here to the credit of the new establishment.

Those already here include superintendents ‘of stations in Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Philadel- ghin and Washington. The meeting to- ay was preliminary toforming a National association similar to thatof the postal clerks for mutual protection and securing favorable legislation. e By the Collision of an Engine. GRAND RAPIDS, Iowa, ‘Nov, 7.—By the collision of an engine with the second section of a freight on the Burlington, Cedar Ra&ids and Iowa Railroad this morning, between Spirit Lake and Supe- rior, Brakeman King of Iowa Falls was killed and Engineer Preston of Cedar Rapids, Brakeman Mattice and Fireman Shoemaker were injured.

GUARDED BY DEPUTIES. It Is Rumored That Pinkerton Men Are Employed to ‘Watch Property. FIRST INJUNCTION ISSUED. Employes Warned Not to Molest Those at Work or Interfere With the Trains. DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Nov. 7.—A spe- cial train arrived here this morning on the Great Northern Railroad with seventy special policemen, eighteen new conduc- tors, itwenty-five brakemen and three fire- men. The arrival of these men is expected to break the strike, as tife delayed trains have been sent out with the new men and the old employes who did not go out. The yards are patrolled by deputies. WALLA WALLA, Wasn., Nov. 7.—At midnight last night Jay H. Adams, attor- ney for the Great Northern at Spokane, applied to Judge Hanford of the Federal court here for an order enjoining the strikers from interfering with the opera- tion of the road. Accompanying the petition was an affi- davit setting forth that Dan Keardon and other members of the A. R. U. had been unlawfully obstructing and interfering with the operation of the road, including the carrying of United States mails and interstate traffic, by means of intimidation, threats of violence upon raiiroad employes and threats of the destruction of their properiy. Judge Hanford issued an order to defen- dants to appear before him at Seattle, No- vember 23, to show cause why they and other members of the A. R. U. should not be restrained and enjoined from interfer- ing with the operation of said road. Un- til such hearing Judge Hanford issued temporary injunctions, restraining the de- fendants and their associates from molest- ing or causing the destruction of the build- ings or rolling stock equipment of the road, or for assaulting, threatening or in- timidating the employes to cause them to leave the employ of the company. They were also enjoined from further combining and conspiring together unlaw- fully to obstruct or embarrass the railroad company in the conduct of its business. The injunction was telegraphed to Spokane immediately and given to a Deputy United States Marshal for service. SPOKANE, Wasn., Nov. 7.—If there is any strike on the Great Northern orat Hillyard it is not visible to the naked eye to-night. Railroad officials declare it a tempest in a teapot, all their trainsare running on time except for ordinary de- lays and there is no interruption of traffic. A few men that went out at the Hillyard shops have been replaced by others, and officials say there has been no interruption of work whatever, The only men that appear to be determined are bridgemen, and they have all gone and still are out. The company has advertised for other men to fill their places and expect work in this department to continue. The writ of injunction issued out of Judge Hanford’s court yesterday and tele- graphed here from Walla Walla last even- ing was served by Marshal Vinson this morning. The men claim that such action on the part of the company was wholly uncalled for and that it indicates that they are afraid of the men and expect trouble, and that the mere securing of the injunc- tion shows that there is a strike and that they are afraid of it. The statement was made here, which was only denied ma a half-hearted way, that Pinkerton men had been secured to watch the property of the company. Nothing new has, however, transpired with the strikers to-day and everything 1s quiet. WHAT CONGRESS WILL DO. Senator Morgan Outlines Several Import- ant Measures. WASHINGTON, v. C., Nov. 7.—What will be done by the next Congress is still an undetermined quantity. Senator Mor- gan believes that if the Nicaragua bill be introduced it will pass both houses. The next Congress will be 4 very busy one, for our foreign relations appear to be occupy- ing much of the attention of the State Department. b Said Morgan: ‘“Many interesting ques- tions are before the country—Hawaii, Cuba, Alaska, Venezuela and the Bering Sea claims—and Congress will doubtless have much to say upon these matters. If the Venezuelan —correspondence has reached a finished state I have no doubt that the State Department will transmit it to Congress. > - ‘‘The Alaskan boundary question is in a great measure closely allied to that pend- ing between Great Britain and the South American republic. There can be but one conclusion to that dispute. This Govern- ment will certainly never admit the British contention that the ten marine leagues of our coast line begin at the outer edge of the islands that stud the coast, and we will neveradmit that proposition to arbitration, either. It istoo absurd to be considered seriously. & ‘‘The only thing we have to fear is that the matter will be delayed so long that the real point at issue will become so beclouded that it will be obliterated. We should in- sist that the question be speedily settled. England has a fashion of proposing things of this sort and then encouraging en- croachments up to the point where its claim begins. If we permit delay we may look for trouble in the future.” ST DESTRUCTION OF VINEYARDS. Consul Seymour Writes of the Work of the Phylloxera. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.—Consul Seymour writes the Department of State from Palermo that the phylloxera or vine fest has struck twenty-eight provinces in taly, destroying vineyards aggregating 285,485 acres and thaton account of it other Vineyards, aggregating 188,345acres, are on the way to destruction. Sicily has suffered most, the damage there being estimated at 240,000 acres destroyed, indicating a loss of $4,000,000 a year in wagesalone. The dam- age done in Sicily by the pest during the past three years is placed at from $30,000,- 000 to $40,000, “The infection, the re- port states, is spreading.

The Choctaw Council Passes a Bill Making It Treason to Urge the Allotment of Lands. PARIS, Tex., Nov. 7.—The Choctaw Ceuncil, instead of showing a disposition to accede to the proposition of the Dawes Commission to allot their lands, have dis- played the most violent opposition to it. Many of the most intelligent and progres- sive of the tribe have been favoring allot- ment, which has had the effect of stirring up the fullbloods. A bill was passed yesterday making it treason for any citizen of that nation to talk allotment, either publicly or privately, anywhere in the Indian Territory. The penalty for the first offense is 100 lashes and six months’ imprisonment, and for the second offense death without the benefit of a trial. The leader of the opposition to the bill de- clared that its passage meant the breaking up of the tribal government, and declared that this was the last session of the Choc- taw Council that would ever be held. A bloody factional war is predicted. ik gae S TURKEY'S NEW MINISTRY, List of the Pashas Who Have Been Given the Portfolios.

All the Passengers Were Rescued, but They Lost Their Personal Property. QUEBEC, Cax., Nov. 7.—A special re- port from the signal service bureau at Lit- tle Metis Light says that the big Ham- burg-American Packet Company’s steamer | Canadian, from Hamburg and Antwerp for Quebec with a general cargoand a large passenger list, went ashore 175 miles below Quebec with her bottom cracked and her tanks full of water. The steamer got too near shore when passing Matana and struck on a reef. The weather at the time was very misty. All the passengers on board were safely landed at St. Ulrica. They proceeded from there to St. Metis, where they are now quartered. At the time the vessel struck quite a little sea was running and a panic ensued, which the officers and sea- men were able to quiet before any serious results had taken place. The passengers lost everything they had of value from the water entering the hold, while the vessel is a total wreck, and it will be impossible to make use of her, The Canadian was on her last voyage to Montreal this season. The place where she struck is one of the most dangerous in the regular route to Quebec, the lighthouse service being very poor. This same place has been the scene of a large number of similar disasters during the past year. The Canadian was one of the largest, if not the largest, vessel run- ning to Canadian ports and was also one of the best boats of the Hamburg-Ameri- can Packet Company. The customs au- thorities will at once make an investiga- tion and the officers of the ship will be brought before the Board of Trade, as it is alleged that the grounding of the vessel was due to regligence. ———— Declined to Co-operate.

There he stood for two mortal hours in dead silence and no coax- ing of the passengers could arouse his lowuny. hen the crowd had left the depot a large, sleek cat appeared on the scene and spying the bird arched majestically up to the cage and satdown. He poked his nose between the bars and sat contemplating Pol, tbinking what a dainty morsel he would make if those pesky bars were only out of the wuf. He had sat thus for an hovr and the silence had gradually grown denser, when Mr. Miller was aroused by the unearthly scream from Pol’s direction : “Ha, ha!” Come on, boys.” The cat did not care to continue the con- versation; he just went, his tail uplifted and_swollen with fear till it looked like a feather duster. The parrot smiled a glee- ful smile and the cat did not come back to trouble him.—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. e _The Tablet says that Cardinal Gibbons’ visit to Ireland was for the purpose of col- lecting materials for a history of the Irish people. : | Thomas ¥. Bayard, BAYARD ON FREEDOM, Address of the Embassador Before the Edinburgh Society. TENDENCY TO SCCIALISM. This Movement Is Progressing Both Openly and in Secret, CHRISTIAN MORALS DEFINED. In Closing the Diplomat Could Not Refrain From filluding to American Politics. EDINBURGH, Scorraxp, Nov. 7.—Hon. rited States Embas- sador to Great Britain, delivered the inaugural address at the meeting of the Edinburgh Philosophical Society this afternoon. His subject was ‘Individual Freedom, the Germ of National Prosperity and Permanence.” ‘The address was of a purely academic character. It vindicated personal liberty and free government as essential to the happiness, progress and permanence of national prosperity. In the course of the address Mr. Bayard said the movement of the day, sometimes open and sometimes concealed in robes of philanthropy, is toward state socialism as opposed to autocracy, but either is des- votism and fatal to that individual free- dom by which the world, under the laws of its origin and progress, was raised from brutality and barbarism. Autocracy, plutocracy, oligarchy, socialism aud mob rule are each equally fatal to well-ordered government, which depends upon the scrupulous safeguarding of personal liberty and personal thought and judgment. Mr. Bayard proceeded to define Chris- tian morals as including a perfect sphere in which the laws of individual and na- tional progress operated. He referred to Hamilton’s “‘Federalist’” as foremost in the annals of political literature in apply- ing the voluntary principle. He reminded his audience that the United States owed Hamilton to Scotland. Recurring to state socialism, Mr. Bayard said: ='In my own country I have witnessed the insatiable growth of a form of social- ism styled protection, which has done more to corrupt public life, to banish men of independent mind from public councils and to lower the tone of National repre- sentation than any other single cause. Protection, now controlling the sovereign power of taxation, has been perverted from its proper function of creating revenue to support the Government into an engine for selfish profit, allied with combinations called trusts. It thus sapped the popular conscience by giving corrupting largesse to special classes and throws legislation into the political market, whose jobbers and chafferers take the place of states- men.” In concluding his speech Mr. Bayard made a medley of allusions to Adam Smith, David Hume, Burns, Scott and other men and things Scotch. PARTNERS ACT QUEERLY. A Drummer’s Startling Experience at a Dance Down South. *‘Speaking of practical jokes,” said a drummer to a writer for the Louisyille Courier-Journal the other night, “I was a victim of the most embarrassing I have heard of for a long time. It was during my first trip South and, not being familiar with the people in this part of the coun- try, I thought [ had found a really socia- ble place, when three young ‘swells’ of the town with whom I had been talking the evening before asked me to go with them to a dance that was to be given at a female seminary a few miles from this aty. “I had been away from home for some time, and not having had the pleasure of being inthe company of young ladies I was fairly delighted at the idea 0% spending a pleasant evening. “I told them I would be pleased to go, and, after hurried preparation, we started. “The young men laughed at the idea of my paying anything toward the carriage hire, nnng felt that I had never been in the companyof a more hospitable set of en. “When we arrived at the place the dance had already begun. We left the carriage in care of a negro man and entered the ballroom. “Of course, I felt very strange at first among so many strangers, but my com- panions seemed to feel quite at home, and insisted that I should meet some of the young women at once. *‘One of the young men took me by the arm and led me across the room to where there sat a young woman who was rather pretty and had an extremely neat appear- ance. ‘‘After receiving an introduction to her I sat down and started a conversation. Soon she was talking at an astonishingly rapis rate. I became rather interested ‘i ¢ girl, but was yery much surprised to lear,, that she was the twentieth daughter of 5 wealthy farmer. “At Jast she began to laugh and talk s, oddiy that I began to feel a_ little embar- rassed and asked her if she did not want to dance. s “She was on her feet in an_instant, and we had danced a few steps-when she sud- denly yelled out at the top of her voice: Don't! Don’t! Oh, don’t hold me so tight. Iam full of dynamite” And she uttered a yell that made the cold chills run up and down my back. . “I turned her loosein an instant, and stood simply horrified. I felt like swear- ing when the other people in the room only laughed and went on dancing. 1did not know what'to do. 1knew I had done nothing I should not have done, intention- ally at least, but I started up to her with an apology, when one of my companions came up with a young woman on his arm. “He gave me an introduction to her, and asked me if I would not dance the next set with her. I did not feel like dancing a bit, but there was no way of get- ting out of it, so I told him I would. While we were sitting down waiting for the next dance she told me_she had been married fourteen times and had 1000 chil- dren at home. 3 % I thought she was just trying to joke me, and asked her where she lived. She said she lived in heaven. I knew some- thing was wrong with her, and I made up my mind right there that I would not dance with her. “I asked her to excuse me for a moment, and without waiting for a reply rushed across the room toward the door. thougit to myself that if I once got on the outside I would never attend another ‘swell dance’ in Kentucky. “I had got within a few feet of the door when an old woman ran up and threw her arms around by neck. She yelled out that I was her lost son, who ran away from home 400 years ago, when I was a mere child. “I tried to tear myself away from the woman, and she fainted at my feet. made a dart for the door, and when L reached the threshold I looked back and saw several persons carrying her off the floor.

The next morning the young men came around to the hotel and apolo- gized, and now they are the best friends [ have in this city.” e Sweden’s Royal Palace. New York Recorder. Although the reigning family of Sweden is far from rich, owing to the late King having bequeathed every vestige or prop- erty that he could dispose of to his only daughter, now Crown Princess of Den- mark, yet there are few more magnificent abodes in the Old World than the Palace or Castle of Tullgarn, where the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden have just been entertaining the German Em- peror. It is the favorite residence of the Crown Prince during the summer, and may be said to have been erected abso- lutely regardless of cost, that is to say its present form, for the oldest part of castle dates back to the year 1100, when, according to the Scandinavian sages, it was the stronghold and home of the famous King Sigurd. One of the features is the winter garden, the glass roof of which rests on sixteen marble columns, each of which cost over $40,000. It is situated on the very edge of the ciiff overlooking the sea, while from the land side the view stretches over hill and forest for many a long mile. ‘One somewhat amusing featare in econmuection with this palace 1s the so-called Isle of Elba, that lies within a stone’s thro the palace, and which owes its name tot fact that when, in 1817, the first Napoleon was deported to Eiba the Princess Sophie Albertine, who regarded him in the light of a bugbear, caused one of the largest eagles to be removed from the apary of the castle and to be conveyed to this little island, where it was shut up in a cage as a kind of memorial to the ;a]len Emperor. By a strange coincidence, which cannot be explained, the eagle managed to effect his escape on the very day that the po~ leon sailed from Elba on that last journey which ended in Waterloo and St. Helena. ————— How to Roll an Umbrella.
