A meeting of prominent citizens of this city and Brooklyn has been held at the residence of Mr. William E. Dodfre. The meet ing was. called by Mayor Strong, Gen eral Bristow, Bishop Potter, ex-Chief Justice Daly, Hon. Seth Low and Mr. Dodge for the purjose of forming a committee of representative citizens of New York and Brooklyn to co-operate with similar committees, which have 1hhu already established in Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and other prominent cities in the United States, whose object is the calling of a na tional conference in the interest of in ternational arbitration between Great Britain and the United States. Hon. Chaunccy M. Dejiew proposed the following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted: Whereas, The "true grandeur of na tions' means the arts of civilization, jus tice s4-cnreJ liy statute mill nuitrniifiimify inspired by goml will.which'coiulitioiis are always marred by the wasteful, bitter vio-lcin-c of war. ami Whereas The Vnit-d Stats and tireat ISritain. akin in lantruafn, jurisirudetie and 1 frsil mci lioils. are already aceu.-loiueil to iirhil rate their disagreements and have ni)hat iially declared themsi-lves in favor of such arbitration congress by the action of loth liiiie in ls'.rj and the house of coin 1110ns ly its vote In lffiKJ; therefore, l.esolvitl, That we earnestly desire such action by our national legislature and tho executive as shall make lK-rmanent pro vision for some wise method of arbitration between the two oouc tries, it belnjf our liojc that such a stp will ultimately lead to international arbitration throughout the civilized world. Resolved, Accordingly, that measures lie taken ill the interest of such arbitration and in com-ert with like committees from ot her cities for the convening in the city of Washington at the earliest practicable date, of a conVrence of citizens, rcprcscn ing every jiortion of the country without distinction of party or creed. liesolvtM, That we gratefully recognize the action already taken in this direction by representative citizens of Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities and that wo rely 011 thiir vigorous co-oHTat ion in proving the success of the proposed na tional conference. Mr. Depew said that the international arbitration embracing all the nations of KurojM- was impossible at the present time, but he claimed that between Great Britain and the United States it was not so. The question was being carefully considered by loth religious and commercial bodies in Great Britain, and it was very proliable that the Liberal party would embody it as a plank in their political platform. In conclusion, Mr. Depew said: "In our own country, I think, as this move ment progresses, it will develop that perfect unanimity exists on this subject, and before long the universal peace which the church has been pray ing for for 2,000 years will be real ized." Bishop Potter, Hon. Chauncev M. Dejiew, JJ. C. Cadwalader, Henry E ilowland ami W. E. Dodge were ap pointed as delegates to a meeting il favor of arbitration to take place in In deicndencc hall, Philadelphia, on Wash ington's birthday, with jiower to add to their number. PlTTHU'KG.

Senator Tlmrst on Makes a Peculiar Speech Favoring .McKiuley. Lincoln-. Neb., Feb 19. The McKin ley club entertained with a banquet last night representatives of the Mc Kin ley clubs in Nebraska. Senator Thurs ton said he had nothing tc do with the organization of the McKinley clubs, tut was anxious to see Nebraska Republi cans free to exercise their choice tor president. He thought eight of every ten Nebraska Republicans preferred Mc Kinley. Said lie: "I only ask that the friend? of McKinley see to it that the will cf the majority is not thwarted ; to see that every candidate for delegate honestly announces his position, and above all I ask that the Nebraska delegatian shall be selected in such a way that it cannot be used for barter." This speech is very significant follow ing the announcement of the caudidacy of Senator Manderson of this state. A I'arson Arrested and Fined. Huntington-, W. Va.. Feb. 1S. Rev.

It was proved at r. baptizing a few . days ago that it is will to go well pre pared if you are to b' liaptized. A cit izen w ho was immersed at the la-a -curreiiee of this kind can testify to this effect. Tliis gentleman, says the Iiouis ville Commercial, had intended to 1k baptized, but it took him a long time to make up his mind. A' last, however, he came to a decision, and the niin'ster led him to a jKx.l. So far all w as well. The trouble com ineue.il as soon as the minister trid to put the citizen's bead under the water. The cit .zvii nt Kirciitly ditl not object to standing in the water up to bis ears. but f urt her, or rather dcejier, he did not wish to go. Finally, as a last resort, the min'ster pl;.-ed his hand on hts head nil'! 1. -gap to lear dow 11. As he did so t he cit i Zen's ma-s of hair slipjH'd from his h:id.:ud the minister found himself standing with a wig in bis hand, while the bald head of the citizen loomed ep conspic uously. After this there was no trouble in get ting this head under the water. The citizen had always carefully concealed the fact that he was bald, and when he was found out he went under t he wsiter so willing and stayed so long that the sK-ctators liecame frightened. lie was taken out very much ashamed of himself. MORE LONG DISTANCE FIGHTING. Corbet t anil Kitx Pay Kettpeots to liach Oilier 1 Telegraph. El Paso, Tex., Feb. 1!. Fitzsimmons has received the following telegram from Corbett at Chicago : "I read in the patcrs that you said I was a cur. The next time I see you I will make you take it back, like I did before." " Julian sent the following reply : "All right, chappie. Get yourself in gxd condition and get down here quick, but mind vou, get yourself in letter condi tion tian you were at Hot Springs. Kitzsimmons will put you out of exist ence the very nex dayt after he places Maher among the has-beens." Fitzsimmons says he will whip Maher and liecome champion, and then give Corlx-tt a chance to win it back. Buck Coiiiielly declares Maher will be in the ring on Friday ; that he thinks Peter will be in reasonable shape then so far as his eyes are concerned. Dr. Gandell declares that while Maher may. he should not attempt to tight under a couple weeks. Should the men tight the Uittle is cxjiected to lie a short and sharp one. It is the plan of the Maher party, if they must fight, to send their man after Fitzsimmons with a rush in the hope of getting Fitzsimmons on the go, ami landing him by a fortunate blow early in the proceedings. It is in fact aliout the only hoiie the ill-conditioned man has. Later reports from Las Cruces are to the effect that one of Maher's ey-s is entirely well and that the other is prae ticadv'free from inflammation. He has begun to train again. It is announced that he surely will be in condition to enter the ring on Jr nday. BANK ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT. A Cashier In San Francisco Sliot At The Kohbers F.rae. Sax Francisco, Feb. 19.

Although market street was crowded with passing people, tho rob bers made good their escape. .It is sup jiosed they secured only $so0. A STRANGE PHENOMENON. Black Snow Falls In Chicago and Neigh boring Place. Chicago, Feb. 19. "Black snow'' was a novelty enjoyed by this city last night. Between H and 7 o'clock there was a fall of a couple of inches. The weather bureau officials and other pupixised good experts were at first inclined to attribute the phenom enon to lcal atmospheric conditions, in combination with the smoke and grime of the city. Advices, however, that the same results were observed in the suburbs, 35 miles distant, upset all such explanations. The black snow also fell in Eastert Iowa, Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois and Western Indiana. Terrorized by an Flarthqnake Shock. Santiak de Cvba, Feb. 19.

He Also Proved That Rettiurant Men Sometimes Ma' e :rivo Krrors. "Xo.sir! I never feed tramps," said the 1hss of the lunch counter. "If you get started to feeding bums, they will i.eter quit coming." A tail man, shabbily dressed, came shuffling into the room, and walked to a seat in the rear as the proprietor was talking. He heard the conversation, lifted h's eyebrows in a depr'-e.it'f" way and ordered a sirloin steak, with mushrooms and Trcm-h fried po'ates. The proprietor and h's fi lend chatted 011 a nd the tall man ate his steak a nil had coffee, wheat cakes, cup custaid. apple pie and an order of cheese on the side.

"I liclicve." he said, "that you said a few minutes ago that you never fet-d tramps ?" "Exactly." answered the proprietor. The tall man chuckled. "I am sorrv. sir," he said, "but you do not always tell the truth." And he escaped uninjured while the proprietor was realizing the truth and force of his observation.

RIPPING GARMENTS TO PIECES. In IHiug This There Sliould lie No Pull int; or Tearing. There is a general impr-ssioii-that it is an easy enough matter to rip up a garment. Most anybody can do it. and it is an in i rtahiiig that requires no peciai skill or cart-. Acting on this ieea. cio thing is p.iiled, torn, cut with knives. Milled with scissors ami linal lv taken to pieces after this unprofit able fashion, and the operator conies and declares that everything is ready.

It seems scarcely necessary to say tlu-t facings, braid aud hooks ajid eyes must lie removed, but this is impera tive, in view of the condition in which garment come to the dressmaker and the dver. Many dresses, capes anil jackets are perfectly wearable after being cnrefu'ly ripiicd. brush)-)!, sjx.nged and pressed. It is a wonder that some one d.es not set up au estab lishment for ripping clothes and put ting them in order for t he dressmaker.
