It has been the desire of the Ber to live on friendly terms with its neighbor, the Western Adventurer, the ‘““Amer- ican,’’ but for some reason the manager of this paper takes every opportunity to misrepresent The Bee to persons who see fit to call at his office. Without going into details, the Bex warns the public to beware of this bub- ble institution, whch claimed to have $25,000 in cash. The “American” has ascheme on foot to collect money, and the way it isdone isbold and fraudulent. A few days ago E. E. Cooper, a West: rn adventurer, called at the business house of William H, Brooker and informed him that Dr. Purvis had bought one hundred doliars yiwo h of stock, Dr. Shadd thirty dol- lars worth, and R. H. Keys, in South Washirgton, also one hundred dollars worth of stock. He also said that Dr. Purvis had di- rected him to request Bro. Brooke: purchase the same amount of stock. Cooper gave Mr. and Mrs, Brooker a Western game of talk by telling them he could speak five languages; that he could draw her picture from ob erva- tion; infact, he wanted the housetiold ot Mr. Brooker to know that he was a man of many parts, which, of course. the Bee will not deny. He also in- formed Mr. Brooker that he would be down on a certain evening and sing for him; that 1 wife was a younger woman than Mrs. Brooker,etc. The We-t- ern adventurer circulated the report that he had an outfit of presses, type, and everything else in the printing line; but upon investigation the outti the entire printing material of the “‘Sun- day Herald.”” The Beg seems to be an eyesore to the “American.” It has pub- lished the obituary of many such adven- turers as the one that has sprung up in this city, and it doesn’t depend on false and fraudulent stock to run it, either. _ The Bex own its own material, and it is a paying institution. HOW IS THIS ? Something unique even in these days of mammoth premium offers is the latest effort of Stafford’s Mag: ine, a New York monthly of home and general reading. _ The proposition is to send the Maga- zine one year for one dollar, the regular subscription price, and in addition to send each subscriber fifty-two complete novels during the twelve mon hs—one each week. Think of it. You receive a new and complete novel by mail, post paid, every week for fifty-two weeks, and in addi tion you get the magazine once a month for twelve months, all for one dollar. It is an offer which the publishers can only afford to make in the confident expec- tation of one hundred thousand sub- scribe S. Among the authors in the coming series are Wilkie Collins, Walter Besant, Mrs. Oliphant, Mary Cecil Hay, Florence Mar:yat, Anthony Trollope, A. Conan Doyle, Miss Braddon, Captain Marryat, Miss Thackery, and Jule Verne. If you wish to take advar of this unusual opportunity send one dolar for r c afford’s Magazine, one year. Your t st copy of the magazine and your first number of the fifty-two nov- els (one each week) which you are to re- ceive during the year will be sent you by return mail. Remit by P.

Reports from E gypt state that the young Khedive has had a new qua with his Prime Minister, Riaz Pasha, who was placed in office by British authority. The Bank of England is embarrassed by the heavy withdrawal of gold for shipment to the United States, and will probably put up the rate to & per cent. The Parkhurst Society in New York city has brought charges against Po- lice Captain Devery, alleging that dis- orderly houses in his district receive police protection. The new cruiser Minneapolis, just launched at Philadelphia, will be one ofthe fastest warships afloat, and can sail around the world without recoal- a sister ship to the com- yer Columbia. A recent investigation disclosed that no less than $500,000 was locked up in the treasuries of the various branch- es of organized trades in Chicago. At a meeting of labor leaders Monday steps were taken looking towards the release of this money. The World’s Fair gates were open on Sunday last, but the exhibits were all closed. As a consequence the Midway Plaisance was crowded, but few en- tered the Fair grounds. It is hoped to have the injunction against Sunday closing dissolved this week. One of the effects of the monetary convulsion in New York bas been te create an active demand for cheap curities, and some of the lar mission houses are said to be doing a rattling business in the execution of small investment orders for Latest advices from Api re that order has been completed restored in Samoa. As the result of a conference between the foreign consuls and the captains of the warships, Mataafa was deported to the Union Islands aboard the German man-of-war Sperber. Immense shipments of gold to this country from London are announced. Byvery vessel arriving at New York brings gold, and the total will reach $25,000,000 by the end of the week. These shipments are to cover pur- chases of American grain and securi- ties. Much concern is exhibited by Eng- lish statesmen over the proposed re- peal of the Sherman silver law. It is feared it will result disastrously to East India finane: d there is evi- dent a greater dispe ion on the part of English statesmen to look fayorably upon silver.

New York, Aug. 18. — Hon. K J. Phelps of the counsel for the United States at the Behring Seg Conference at Paris, arrived Sunday on the steam- ship Paris. Mr. Phelps was seen at the Clarendon Hotel. “I am glad to get home again,” he said. “I went away in March, and spent considerable time in travelling about before the conference took place and afterwards. The interests of the United States were looked after carefully at the confer- ence, and there is no reason to suppose that the result will not be ip accord- ance with facts presented. The mat- ter is now in the hands of the arbi- trators. It is uncertain when they will be ready to make public their decision, but I think they will do so in about a week or ten days. The matter being such an important one, nothing has been done in a hurried manner. Of course I do not care to attempt any prognostication of the result of the conference, but I will say this, that from the nature of the case the de- cision of the arbitrators will be in the nature of a compromise.” The colleagues of Mr. Phelps in the Behring Sea matter, Judge H. W. Blod- gett and J. C. Carter, are still in Europe. MR. CLEVELAND TO THE POPE. The President Felicitates the Pontiff on His Golden Jubilee. ‘A dispatch from Rome states that the Pope has recejved a letter of, con- gratulation from President Cleveland, The letter, which is addressed to Car- dinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, is as fol- lows: “Your Eminence: Please permit me to transmit through you to His Holi- ne: Leo XIIL, my sincere congratu- ns on the occasion of the golden lee of his episcopate. “The pleasure atténding this expres- sion of my felieitations is much en- hanced by the remembrance that His Holiness has always manifested a live- ly interest in the prosperity of the United States and great admiration for our political institutions. “T am glad to believe that these sen- timents are the natural outgrowth of the Holy Father’s solicitude for the wel e and happiness of the masses of humanity, and his especial sympathy for every effort made to dignify simple manhood and to promote the moral and social elevation of those who toil. ‘The kindness with which His Holi- ness lately accepted a copy of the Con- stitution of the United States leads me to suggest that, if it does not seem presumption, it would please me ex- ceedingly to place in his hands a book containing the official papers and docu- ments written by me during my prev. ous term of office.” Australian Cricketers Coming. The Australian cricketers, now in England, have “iccepted the invitation of the Germantown Cricket Club to play in Philadelphia before their re- turn home. A cablegram received in Philadelphia gives this welcome news, and these famous exponents of the game will play two three-day matches in the Quaker City on September 20, 30, and October 2, 6, 7 and 9. The team will be in many respects the strongest that ever visited this country, Letter From the Pope.
