Russell Harrison's visits to Queen "Vic

notables, have made him a distinguished
man over there. John Jarrett id quoted in
a Birmingham paper as saying that Presi
dent Harrison impressed on him the im

icans wanted to be on the best of terms with
her. The younger Harrison thinks the
royal kitchen compares favorably even with
that of bis former home in Indianapolis.

Russell Harrison has suddenly become a
very distinguished man. He has dined
with the Queen and slept at Windsor Castle
one night; has taken luncheon with the
Prince of Wales and his family at Marl
borough House, and is spending to-day with
' the Marquis of Salisbury, at Hatfield
House, in Hertfordshire.
These lofty honors have much enhanced
the popularity of the son of the administra
tion among his countrymen over here, as
anyone would realize who saw simple Bo
publicans rush up in the hotel corridors to
shake the hand that grasped that of His
Royal Highness.
Harrison is not elevated out of reach by
he greatness that has been thrust upon him,
nd has not cut his American acquaint
ances. He finds, however, that
Greatness Zloa Its 'Drawback.
tor he has been pursued relentlessly by the
reporters of iKe metropolis, who desire to
knowhis opinion of the royal family, and
obtain his views as to the domestic economy
of the imperial household.
"When seen by your correspondent this
afternoon he was engaged in packing neck
ties, silk under clothing, silver-mounted
perfume bottles and monogramed tooth
brushes into a series of beautiful pew Rus
sian leather valises, with the initials "R.
II." in embossed silver on the most avail
able places, preparatory to taking the train
for the Prime Minister's country seat, where
lie spends the night.
Advised Not to Talk.
Harrison said that court etiquette forbade
his going into details concerning his recep
tion at "Windsor Castle and Marlborough
House, and Minister Lincoln, who was with
him during his visits, had advised him not
to talk about them. Harrison did not hesi
tate to say, however, that he was treated
with the utmost courtesy; that the royal
cuisine, while differing from that of his
home in Indianapolis, was fine, and that the
beds at "Windsor were comfortable and
veil aired.
Harrison goes to Paris, after taking leave
of the Marquis of Salisbury and his family
on Monday, and will probably be honored
there as here. One of his regrets at leaving
London so soon lies in the circumstance
that he had been compelled to decline an
invitation from the Lord Mayor and Lady
Mayoress to meet Her Majesty's Ministers
at dinner next "Wednesday.
John Jnrrett Given a Whirl.
It would be interesting to know, in view
of young Harrison's enthusiastic reception
over here, whether he has, by any chance,
been indulging in such twaddle as John
Jarrett, of Pittsburg, the new Consul at
Birmingham, is credited with" in the
Birmingham Times. Jarrett starts off by
saying that President Harrison's last in
structions to him before he left America
were to seize every opportunity of removing
any impressions that Americans dislike
England, or wish to be on other than the
most cordial terms with her. These in
structions so fully accorded with his own
views that he had the greatest pleasure pos
I sible in repeating them.
"Of course." he continued, "I know some
of our people are very fond, at election
times, of performing the operation known as
Twisting the Lion's Tall.
"Mr. Cleveland and the Democrats did it
pretty freely in the last election, but it
made their defeat all the more crushing.
The Sackville incident, as I suppose
everybody over here knows very well now,
was only an election trick, and a very
shabby and stupid one, too. There is not a
respectable American in the States that
does not sincerely regret the incident, and,"
with a meaning smile, "I should think those
responsible for the episode are more sorry
than anyone else."
If Mr. Jarrett is fairly qucted, he may
fearlessly claim to be the most thoroughly
rounded specimen of the driveling idiot
ever sent to attend to the business of the
"United States in this country, and that
is saying a great deal. Lord Salisbury, at
the Mansion House'dinner, declared that
the American voters had rejected Cleveland
I To .Soothe tbe Ruffled Feellnns
of Sackville and England, and among
Americans who come here there are un
happily many who will say that, or tell any
other lie to help on their miserable little
struggles for social recognition. A United
States Consul, however, should not be among
these,

ABOBEJrPQTENTATE.
The Shah of Persia Very Tired of Globe
Trottlnn A Nerve Storm Prom Which
lie Suffered lie Is Credited
With a Smart Saying.
IBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, July 20. The Shah still goes
on sightseeing, though his unlucky Majesty
is getting very tired of it, goes to sleep more
and more, misses his engagements, and oc
casionally protests against being taken away
from something that he likes, as Lake Lo
mond, to go somewhere else, to a place that
bores him. He does not want to go to Glas
gow, or to stay at other places, but, as he is
a globe trotter, he is bound to globe-trot.
Although he is King, and keeps going
ahead, the Shah has just had a very serious
nerve storm, and some of his attendants
have had a much worse one. Four of these
dark Persian gentlemen are entrusted with
the care of the black leather bag which con
tains about 55,000,000 worth of the Shah's
best jewels. The fact has transpired that
when the Shah arrived at Hatfield, Lord
Salisbury's place, the bag of jewels was
missing, and not one of the four unlucky
attendants could find it
A Most Lucky Find.
A special train wan sent back to London,
and after a long hunt, the bag of diamonds,
rubies, etc., was found in the royal stables
in the boot of the drag which carried the
Shah's luggage to the railroad station a
wonderful opportunity for London's pro
fessional thieves.
When the four Persians entrusted with
the jewels recovered the bag they actually
kissed it and embraced it, and carried it off
to the Shah, all holding on- to it together.
Their fate on returning to Persia, if they
had lost these jewels, is not pleasant to con
template, but very easy to guess.
Confidence in the Shah's moral character
is becoming more and more undermined. It
is well known that he brought with him one
ot the young Circassian girls who he had
received as a present from his Minister in
Constantinople, and this was thought
Quito Moderate on His Parr,
and did not call forth any special outcry
from the British matron; but now it is
rumored that beside this Circassian, to which
he contesses, the Shah has cot one or two
specimens from the home harem going about
with him, dressed up in Persian men's
clothes. This information, however, is not
strictly reliable.
The Shah apparently does not consider a
long list of wives altogether without its un
pleasant points, and I have it as a fact from
the Grand Old Man's son, Herbert Glad
stone, that tbe Shah actually did say, when
informed that the Grand Old Man was on
the point of celebrating his golden wedding,
that he was not certain but that it was bet
ter to live 50 years with one woman than
one with 50 women. That remark, by the
way, is not original with the Shah, but per
haps he may have reinvented it.
In reply to a question asked by Lord
Wolseley the Shah has said that the things
which pleased him most in England were
the flowers and the conjuring hardly what
one wonld expect from a potentate from the
East, where flowers and conjuring, especial
ly the latter, are commonly supposed to
flourish far beyond anything that we have
imagined.
A LONG J0UENET FOE NOTHING.
George. Wcatherby, of Boston, Goes All the
Way to London to be Bunkoed.
tBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
LONDON, July 20. ITx, George .Wcath
erby, engineer, of Bosion, is grieved "to
think that he should have come all the way
to London to be bunkoed, an operation that
could have been performed much more nat
urally and conveniently -at home. The
bunko men did not develop any particular
genius. One took Mr. 'Weatherby to
Madam Tussaud's, the other came up and
confided to his bunko friend that he had
just inherited 78,000, and wanted his
friends to go traveling with him, but he re
quired those friends should prove themselves
to have means and not be a burden on his
78,000.
The first bunko man pulled out what
looked like big bundles of bank notes, and
his confederate examined them and de
clared himself satisfied. Mr. Weatherby
produced 26 ?10 American bills and 19 in
English gold with the statement that he
had more home when that was gone. The
two gentlemen, unfamiliar with American
money, went out into the hall to examine it
in the doorway and did not come back.
One of them has been caught, examined
and remanded.
PEESENTS FOE THE PEINCESS.
Tbo Bride of Next Saturday Receiving; Many
Gifts hhe Cnn't Appreciate.
rSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISFATCn.1
London, July 20. Lord Fife and Prin
cess Xouise, of Wales, undismayed by the
wrangle over her dowry, are going on with
their preparations for the wedding next
Saturday. The Princess has the womanly
reputation of caring little for jewelry,
but heretofore she " has not had much
chance of acquiring the taste, her father
having enough to do to make both ends
meet and gratify his own exuberant require
ments. Now, however, hundreds of friends
and sycophants are sending presents, chiefly
jewelry, to Marlborough House, and the
prospective bride is developing a keen in
terest in the trinkets.
The Price of Wales gives his daughter a
diamond-and-pearl necklace, and it is con
fidently believed that the Shah will dip
deeply into the bag which has' just been
causing so much trouble.

AN INDIANA COUNir GIEL MISSING.
A Detective Looking; for Miss Allison, Who
Left Home Jnno 19 With S2.000.
Kansas Crrr, July 20. A detective
from Indiana, Pa., is here attempting to
find Belle Allison, from that place, who,
her friends fear, has met with foul play.
She left home on Juno 19, having previ
ously arranged to elope with D. S. Harrold,
a barber of Effingham, Kas., who is mar
ried and the father of eight children. The
couple arranged to meet in this city on
.Tune 22. On that date Harrold was here,
but since then he has been living at his
home as usual. Nothing has been heard of
Miss Allison since her departure from In
diana. When she left home she had $2,000
in her possession, and it is feared that she
has been murdered and robbed.
Given 19 Years to Think ot nis Crime.
Louisville, Julv 20. At Frankfort to
day W. G. Montgomery was sentenced to 19
years in the penitentiary for killing his
sweetheart, Irene Kittson. The muider was
committed at Monterey, Ky., in 1887, and
this is the third trial. The first jury hung
and the second was for a life sentence.
Montgomery is about 30 yean old.
MOLTEN METAL E0LLED.
A Wonderful Process That May Slake
Kails 810 a.Ton Cheaper and Revo
lutionize Iron and Steel Mnnufac
tare Invented by Chicago-
ans Economy and -
Cheapness.
Chicago, July 20. A firm in this city
engaged in the manufacture of tin cans and
japanned ware has patented an invention
which competent judges say will revolu
tionize the iron and steel industry of the
world. Patents have been secured in the
leading countries of the world. It is, in
brief, a process by which molten metal may
be rolled into any desired shape, thus saving
all intermediate processes. It was invented
originally to roll molten solder into thin
plates, but the process is pronounced by ex
perts to be equally applicable to iron and
steel in its various forms of plates,stractural
iron and rails.
It is believed that the cost of manufactur
ing steel rails can ba reduced to the extent
of $10 per ton, and that thin iron plates for
tinning can be made much below the cost of
production of tin plates in Wales, thus
making a new industry in this country.
The molten metal is passed between .rollers,
which is chilled as it passes the rollers,
being kept cool by a stream of water which
passes through them.
Another advantage is that iron and steel
so rolled will be much more even and
closer in texture than that made by present
methods, being free from the airholes which
result from the intermediate processes.
A DISSOLVING POOL.
The Southern Pacific Is Disgruntled by Con
cessions to Cannda Pacific
Chicago, July 20. The meeting "which
is probably to determine the fate of the
Transcontinental Railway Association be
gan in this city to-day, but owing to the
absence of several Of the representatives of
important lines adjourned until Monday
next. The association has just now reached
the critical point of its existence, both the
Southern and Northern Pacific roads hav
ing given notice of withdrawal. Should
they persist iu their intentions it would be
folly to attempt to continue the association.
Efforts will be made to persuade them to
reconsider their action, and in the case of
the Northern Pacific there is' hope of suc
cess. Traffic Manager Hannaford said to-day
that he thought the matter would be ami
cably adjusted so far as his road is con
cerned. But the grievance ot the Southern
Pacific is the competition of the Canadian
Pacific. It claims that the unreasonable
differentials allowed that road, coupled with
its freedom from legal restrictions, has en
abled it to absorb the bulk of the Pacific
coast traffic and the American lines are
powerless to meet the competition while re
maining members, of the association.
Strangely enough, the representatives of the
Canadian Pacific are in attendance asking a
still further differential on San Francisco
traffic. So the prospect for adjustment of
existing difficulties is not bright,

Adolph Sprockets Can Hold nis Own If the
Price of Sncnr is Reduced.
tSFECIAL TELEGEAU TO THE DISFATCBT.1
Philadelphia, July 20. Adolph
Spreckels said to-day that he felt no appre
hension of a design on the part of the colos
sal Sugar Trcrt-to create ar scarcity of sugar
until the Spreckels refinery begins opera
tions in the fall, and then flood the market
with it.
"If such a thing should be done, I guess
we can hold our own," said Mr. Spreckels,
"but I haven't the slightest impression of
any such probability. The present condi
tion of the sugar market is accounted for by
the tact that the wholesale dealers have
held back to run up the price, and with
large quantities on hand, there is a slack
demand from the refineries. Besides, the
refineries cannot afford to flood the market
with sujar when the high price of their
trnst certificates is to be considered. This
high pr.'ce is of vital consequence to the
owners cf sugar stock, and nothing would
more immediately affect it than to dispel
the widespead belief that there is a scarcity
of sugar."
The Spreckels refinery will be put into
operation during the first week in September.

the opposing candidates for Treasurer this

rsriCIAL TXXXOIUOI TO TITS DISPATCH.:
Philadelphia, July 20. The Kepub
lican City Committee met yesterday and
fixed July 30 as the date for the holding of
the primary elections. In some of the
down-town wards the fight fox delegates will
be interesting, but in the majority of the
wards in the city there will be no con
tests worth speaking of, The delezates
elected to the State Convention will leave
here on the noon train of the 6th of August,
and will reach Harrishurg early in the
afternoon. The most of them expect to re
turn here by the day express east, on the
7th, as they feel that with no opposition to
Speaker Boyer in his canvass for the State
Treasuryship nomination the convention
will get through its business in one day.
There will not be any large delegations in
attendance at the convention on account of
the lack of interest in its proceedings. The
delegates who will be elected, judging by
the character of those who hare already an
nounced themselves, will be mostly poli
ticians of the second class, very few of the
prominent leaders of the party earing even
to attend the convention. Collector
of Internal Revenue David Martin, who is
Senator Quay's recognized lieutenant here,
will no doubt be'on hand, to see that the
machine works smoothly, and a number of
the ward leaders who are in sympathy with
his efforts here will journey to Harrisburg
in order to carry out whatever instructions
may be issued.
HOPES OF THE DEMOCRATS.
The Democrats are not seemingly bother
ing themselves as to who is going to be
their candidate, and it looks as though
they will not make much of a fight this
year, but they will wait until next year be
fore making what may be called a hercu
lean effort to overcome the large Republi
can majority cf this State. Many oi" the
Democratic leaders profess to believe that
in 1890 they will be able to re
peat the victory of 1833, and inas- I
mucn as a successor to J.; .Donald
Cameron is to be elected, they say that
they will be able to walk off with the Sena
tonal election, in addition to securing the
Governorship and other State offices which
will "be voted for next. year. IlometJs
xiumei, oi urawiora oounty, is looKea upon
as likely to he the Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer this year, and as he has
given it out that he will go before
the people of the Stato on his
record as the author of the Humes
funding bill, it seems safe to say that the
candidates opposing each other at the
November election of this year will be
Henry IC Boyer on the Republican ticket
and Homer J. Humes on the Democratic
ticket. -
FBOHIBITIONISTSIN CHECK".
The Prohibitionists will not hold their
State convention until both of the
regular parties have named their candi
dates and adopted their platforms, but
in this city the local leaders of the Prohibi
tion party nearly all agree in saying that it
would be best to wait until next year before
making any great fight, as the office of State
Treasurer is not of so much importance to
their cause, and that they will reserve their
strength until 1890, when, they think, with
tbe fight between the two regular parties
being bitter and earnest, they will be able
to hold the balance of power, and by deals
be able to force the Repnblican leaders' to
grant them statutory prohibition legis
lation. EIDDLEEEEGEE IS DISGUSTED,

Washington, July 20. Ex-Senator
Riddlebcrgcr, of "Virginia, who has been in
the city for several days, attending the con
ference of the Mahone and anti-Mahone
Republicans of his State, left for home
to-day. The long-whiskered gentleman from
Woodstock did not depart in an enviable
frame of mind. He expresses himself as be
ing thoroughly disgusted with the action of
thenational administration and the National
Republican Committee. The so-called
compromise he regards as a sell-out to
Mahone. In reply to an inquiry as to
how he liked the compromise plan.
ot reorganization agreed upon oytne tac
tions, Mr. Biddleberger very sarcastically
replied by suggesting that Mahone
be asked how much of the cam
paign fund he (Mahone) would give to
unload Mr. Brady, the chief of the late
kickers and a bitter enemy, both personally
and politically, of Mahone, but who has
now become a member of the compromise
party of harmony, and who was to-day
given a fat appointment.
Mr. Biddleberger is utterly dissatisfied
with the" compromise arrangement, and
threatens to make a vigorous canvass of the
State aeainst Mahone and the new policy ot
the Republican reorganization. Branch
ing off into conversation on other
topics, the ex-Senator gave, in
his own peculiar and vehement
language, his disapproval of the letter writ
ten by President Harrison to Queen Victo
ria, congratulating her upon the birth of
her royal grandson, the new Prince ot the
Battenberg family. "That letter," said
Riddleberger, turning up his nose, "should
have been signed 'Baby McKee, Secretary
ot State.'"

Richmond, Va., July 20. The appoint
ment of James D.Brady as collector of in
ternal revenue for the Second "Virginia dis
trict causes surprise among the Re
publicans here. It is the second
best office in the gift of the
President. Brady was a Republican when
Mahone Hras a Democrat, and has held
office of one kind and another, since the
days of carpet-bag rule. When Mahone
bolted the Democratic party because it
would not nominate him for Gov
ernor, and when ho started the
readjustment movement, though at
that time proclaiming himself stilL a Demo-
who,-owing. to past campaign work, had

great influence with the negroes. He secured
the black vote for Mahone and readjust
ment in that fight. After that, when Ma
hone proclaimed himself an Arthur Repub
lican, Brady was one of his most efficient
lieutenants," as was John S. Wise.
Brady wanted to go to Congress, but Ma
hone wanted another man, and being boss
of the machine, he named some other man.
Since then the war be'tween Mahone
and Brady had been bitter. Ma
hone refused to treat him with
ordinary courtesy," and declared that he
would not stay in the party with him.
Brady showed up Mahone in the light of a
falsifier and enemy of the Republican party.
Brady and John S. Wise have been at the
head of the Anti-Mahoneites, and have
made, in writing and print, charges against
Mahone that the Democrats will use in the
coming canvass.

Philadelphia, July 20. The funeral
of the Right Rev. Monsignor Corcoran,
which occurred at the Cathedral this morn
ing, was one of the most solemn and impos
ing ceremonies which has taken place
In this city since the funeral of
the late Archbishop Wood. Ever since 2
o'clock this morning the remains or the
distinguished clergyman lay in the middle
aisle, before the altar. They were brought
to the city from Overbrook, in a hearse,
yesterday. The arrangements were as
severely simple and unostentatious as was
thelife of the dead priest The bier was a
plain one, the draperies simple, and
hut three candles burned on each
side of the coffin. The body was
elad in full vestments, and in tbe hands
were placed a golden chalice and paton.
The main altar, candelebra and ornaments
were shrouded in the habiliments of mourn
ing, and though the solemn services did not
begin till o'clock, for a half hour preced
ing the organ pealed forth mournful volun
taries. Prior To the divine office for the dead,
people for at least two hours poured into the
Cathedral, and with saddened faces passed
around the caskif, looking for the last time
upon the famijiar features of the church's
eminent theologian and scholar. At 9:30
o'clocka long procession of priests, superiors
of religious orders, vicars general, bishops
and archbishops entered the sanctuary and
solemnly intoned the office of the dead.
As soon as the office of the dead was con
cluded solemn requiem high mass began,
His Grace Archbishop Ryan being the cel
ebrant, with Very Rev. Nicholas Cantwell,
V. G.. assistant priest, Rev. John A. Fitz
'maAtflce, rrctdrofOverbrootf Seminary, and
Rev. Valentine Valentine deacons of honor.
A select choir composed of the best musi
cal talent from among the clergy of tho-
arcnaiocese, rendered me music ot the
mass. The panegyric was delivered imme
diafelv before the absolution, bv BishoD
O'Hara. It was in every way worthy, both,
ot its suDject ana oj tne speacer. .Bishop
O'Hara referred touchingly to the childlike
simplicity of the dead prelate's character;
he spoke in glowing terms of his services to
the church and to learning, and brought
tears to the eyes of many when he spoke of
the Monsignor's charity and love of his
fellows.

Uniontown, July 20. Around the
tented city of Camp Rippey, where the offi
cers and members of the Eighteenth Regi
ment are located, there hang many his
toric traditions and reminiscences. To-day
the officers of the regiment put in most of
the time, when not otherwise engaged, dis
cussing tha many historical events with
which the residents of Uniontown are fa
miliar. In the first place, the camp, as has been
stated in The Disfaxcu, is named in
honor of Colonel Oliver H. Rippey,
the famous commander of the
old Sixty-first Pennsylvania Vol
unteers. Colonel Rippey was killed
at the battle of Fair Oaks. His death was
the result bf his zeal and enthusiasm to help
to save his country. One day while push
ing h'i3 regiment up to the front to partici
pate in a lively skirmish which was going
on between tbe Union and Confederate
forces, he come to a crossroad, where he met
another regiment headed toward the fight.
Ane iaiter recimenfc wu reguiariy euusieu,
and its commander did not have a lofty idea
of volunteer officers. A conflict occurred
between the two officers as to who had the
right of line. Cqlonel Rippey recognized
the fact that as volunteers he should
give way to the other regiment, but in his
eagerness to get to the front, did not par
much attention to the others. After numer
ous commands from the other officer to
oblique his regiment into the field and allow
the others the right of way on the road, he
did so. As soon as he got his men over the
fence, a race between the two regiments
then began to see who would get to the front
first. Colonel Rippey "got there" and in
less than 20 minutes from the time of the
parley with his brother officer, a rebel sharp
shooter's bullet struck him and he was
carried from the field dead,
WHERE BBADDOCK BESTED.
The quarters of Colonel Smith, 'Com
mander of the Eighteenth, are right on the
spot where General Braddock made his
stopping place while on his famous march
through this section of the country and
which finally terminated in his death. He
remained in the neighborhood foriour days,
and the first settlers of Uniontown used to
point it out, as the present .residents-now.do

General Braddock'S tomb will he the
favorite point of interest to the soldier
boys while they ore in camp. It is
within sight of the encampment, and In
closed in a growth ot small Dines. The

have the English Government recoznize the
.resting spot of their illnstrious General by
placing a monument over nis grave, in this
heir efforts were without success, and the
gentlemen planted the pines, around his
crave. They used to delight in telling
their children how General Braddock re
fused the advice of George Washington in
regard to the Indians while on his march
westward, and was too proud to adopt their
underhand tactics. For not doing this he
was ambusned and nis men outcnered.
The immediate vicinity where the camp
is located is where the notorious Sullivan
boys, or McClellandtown gang, organized
themselves into a band, and committed
their first crime within pistol shot of head
quarters. They robbed the paymaster of
the McClure Coke Works of 56,000, and
then started on their seven years of crime.
One of the members of the ganz is said to be
mixed up in the murder which occurred at

Outside of the regular routine of camp
work to-day there were few matters of in
terest. The boys arose" this morning, and
the first thing that greeted them was the
same old rain which had been pouring
down at intervals all last night.
clearing ins cami.
After breakfast large squads were organ
ized and put to work gathering and sweep
ing up all the leaves, brush, etc., which
lay about the camp. In a few days there
will hardly be a loose blade of grass or twig
lying on the smooth, level ground. When
the latter is thoroughly dried it will be
hard to find cleaner streets in any encamp
ment in the United States.
After the camp had been cleaned this
morning a guard mount was held in the
large field to the left of headquarters. It is
the intention 'to have these mounts end with'
a skirmish drill.
The first military visitor to the camp was
Colonel Chambus McKibbin, of Pittsburg,
who was Colonel Smith's predecesr. He
came in yesterday, and this morning the
camp was visited by Mrs. McKibbin
and "the daughter of the regiment"
Marian, the Colonel's 4-year-old bright-eyed,
little girl. The title of Sanreant-Major has
been conferred upon her by Colonel Smith.
A pleasant surprise was given Lieutenant
Colonel Frank I. Rutledge at noon to-dav.
'While the staff officers were trying to make
up lost time on very large-sized appetites,
Colonel Smith pounded on the table with
his knife and ordered "silence." The few
visitors who were net in the scheme, thought
something dreadful was about to happen,
when the Colonel pulled from his pocket
a pair of gold-plated, regulation spurs
which he presented to Colonel Rutledge on
behalf of his brother officers." It was the
intention at first to present a pair to Colonel
Smith, but the gallant old commander has
a pair he carried while doing yeoman service
in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry
during the war, and he would not part with
them under any consideration. The new
spurs are of a new pattern which was
adopted but six months ago. Colonel Rut
ledge thanked the donors, and then gave
the best appreciation he could of the gift by
puttine them on and giving the spurs a
trial.
CAMP HOSPITAL AND KITCHENS. ,
Up to 6 o'clock 'to-night there has been
but one patient injhe hospital and this case
was not serious. The hospital is one of the
cosiest little retreats to be found in the
camp. It is on the highest point of ground
in the encampment and looks right out
upon the parade ground, livery movement
on the latter may 6e seen by convalescents.
The hospital is in charge of Dr.Brumbaugh,
and F. W. Egg'rs, of Allegheny, is the
steward.
A little inconvenience was caused this
morning to onu of the companpies whose

have natural gas run Into them. Water
pipes connecting with springs are also run
into the- tens of each company, and the
boys do not have to carrv either fuel or
water. Captain D. M. B'ierer, of Union
town, who secured the site for the camp,
raised a collection among the citizens of the
place to defray the expenses for these con
veniences. Very little has yet been said about the
Sixteenth Regiment, some of whose staff offi
cers did considerable work at Johnstown.

who commanded the Eighty-fifth Pennsyl

the same as that of the Eighteenth.
SUNDAY IN THE CAMP.
To-morrow a large crowd of visitors are
expected on the Baltimore and Ohio road.
Immediately after guard mount Colonel
Smith will go on his first inspection of
quarters. This will consist of a thorough
inspection of the camp and special atten
tion will he given to the tents of
the men. At 1 o'clock divine
service will be held by Chaplain
J. L. Milligan. This will consist of an out
door prayer meeting, with a few words of
an address from the chaplain. The address
is generally upon the life and duties of a
soldier. Vocal music will be rendered at
the service by the Regimental quartet. In
the evening a dress parade will be held.
Some little dissatisfaction has arisen over
the fact of meagre facilities for communi
cation with Pittsburg. Contrary to custom
there is no telegraph office in the camp, and
the nearest one is ''nearly two miles away.
A telephone has been run into the camp,
but after one gets through sending a mes
sage, his langs are in good condition to do
business as a fog horn. Two mails are re
ceived daily at headquarters.
The new regimental hand cave its first
concert to-night. The band is composed of
50 of the best musicians In Pittsourg, and
will hereafter be known as the Eighteenth
Regiment Band. Frank McKelvey, the
drum major, has secured new uniforms for
the men, and the boys of the regiment are
rerv proud of their musicians.
The veteran corps has been organized at
the camp wltn Colonel JMcilibolen as com
mander. The corps is composed of honorary
officers who do not tro to camp for work.
For this reason Colonel Smith and his staff
are barred from membership.

WHITE HOUSE NEEDS.
Mrs. Harrison Says the Executive Dlansian
Is Utterly Inadequate The Growth
of the Official Fart Crowds
Oat tho Family.
Washington, July 20. The Star this
afternoon prints an interview with Mrs.
Harrison, which quotes her as saying that
the insufficiency of room in the White
House has become a matter i of very serious
inconvenience. Mrs. Harrison says that al
though the household of the President
is not the lartrest ever domesti
cated in the official home of
the Chief Magistrate, the encroach
ments of official requirements of late years
upon the apartments used for family pur
poses, has reached a point where "relief has
become absolutely necessary. Even the
library has been taken up for office busi
ness, and the Cabinet room now serves the
double purpose of public ante-room for
Senators and others admitted without cards,
as well as the place for the meeting of the
President and bis advisers. In speaking of
this subject Mrs. Harrison continued:
"We are here foriour years. I do notlook
beyond that, as many things may occur in
that time, but I am very anxious to sea the
family of the President provided for prop
erly, and while I am here I hope to be able
to get the present building put into good
condition. Very few people understand to
what straits the President's family has been
put to at times for lack of accommodations.
Really, there are only five sleeping apart
ments, and there is no feeling of privacy."
Mrs. Harrison says that the idea of mak
ing an extension to the executive mansion
on the west side would not involve any loss
on account of the rcmova 1 of the present
conservatories. The extension would ena
ble tbe President's family to have a private
home where their friends can be received
properly.

Bloomington, Ju ly 20. The consumers

A week ago the proprietor of a general store

To-day one of the leading bakers adver

he would sell bread at the same price with
a chromo thrown in, and give bread away
if buyers were not satisfied to pay. One
result is that household baking has been
universally abandoned, as it is cheaper to

road Commissioners, on Friday, made an
unofficial announcement of their decision,
that all of the roads must reduce their grain
rates 10 per cent, live stock rates 25 per

The Latest WMechapel Murder Com
mitted by an Imitator, and
A TOLERABLY BAD ONE, AT THAT.
The Genuine Jack. Wouldn't Have Done
Such a Bungling Amateur Job.
A MEECT THE P00E WOMAN IS DEAD.
Her Condition In This WorU 33 Bad as it Could be
Anywhere Else.
The general impression in Xondon seems
to be that the last murder in Whitechapel
was not committed by the real genuine
"Jack the Ripper," but by a-bad imitator.
A number of circumstances point to this
conclusion. It is a question, though, If
this murderer didn't perform an act of
charity.
fSTECTAI. TELIOKAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
London, July 20. Copyright Tha
recent murder in Whitechapel illustrates
the capacity of mankind to get used to al
m5st anything, providing the thing occurs
often enough. Not nearly the usual ex
citement has been aroused by this last mur
der, and those who talk about it, in the West
End, at least, do so in a dull, apathetic sort
of way, as a theme that has been already
discussed. No one has even had energy to
get up a new theory of any importance.
This lack of interest is partly due to the
fact that the Londoners are beginning to
look upon the Whitechapel murders as part
of the routine of East End life, but even
more, perhaps, to the wide impression that
this woman-killer is not the original White-
chapel fiend. The cutting of the throat was.
not done with the old vigor and enthusiasm;
the wounds about the body were trivial in,
comparison, and, in fact, many circum
stances point to the conclusion that this
murderer is
SOME bad imixatoe,
or, at least, that the Ripper, in his interval
of rest during the past few months, has lost
his old form completely.
The murder comes at an interesting ' time;
just as Mr. Goschen, the bilious financier
who turned against Gladstone and took
office with the Tories, is making a special
effort to impress on the poor that they ought
to be delighted with their state, proud to
contribute money to the Queen's children,
and generally puffed up with exultation at
the glorious progress of the British Empire,
rather than grumble in such shockingly
bad taste.
These remarks of Mr. Goschen's do not
read very well when put beside some facts
that can be easily collected in the East End.
of London, in which district the patriotic?
Goschen laments the lack of enthusiasm for
the empire.
A LAEGE COLONY OP OUTCASTS.
There are in the East End 908,000 people,
generally speaking, they are all pretty poor.
Reliable statistics show that on an averaga
111,000 never know what it is to have enough
to eat or wear, or a regular home to live in.
The word poor does not describe this army
of wretched outcasts. Beside these, there
are over 200,000 people among whom heads
of families earn less than $3 a week, of
which a third or a fourth must go for rent
These are the poor, and it is well known
that the food which they eat habitually is
poorer in quality and less in quantity than
that of prisoners or workhouse inmates.
Alice Mackenzie, the latest victim, is a
fair type of the Whiteohapel woman. She
was not professionally bad. The man she
lived with and who was fond of her said that
she only went about the streets when she
had too much to "drink.
the striking things
in her life, as given by him, are these:
Smoking and drinking gin were her two
luxuries; she used to borrow pipes of some
one, and other people occasionally gave her
gin. She was in the habit of staying out all
night when she lacked the few cents neces
sary to pay her lodging. The man with
whom she lived also walked about the
streets at night as an ordinary thing. She
worked very hard at charring for Hebrews,
themselves very hard working and very
poor classes. She never had worn a bonnet
or hat, only a shawl in fact, she seems to
have been rather lucky than otherwise in
having had a murderer rid her of all her
worry.
Dr. Forbes Winslow, the principal,
authority in England on lunacy, has written
to your cotrespondent on a subject of this
last murder, in order to point ont the free
dom with which lunatics, more or less dan
gerous, are allowed to go about the streets of
London, uninterfered with by the police.
ONE CASE OP 3IANT.
'Tt was only to-day," he says, "that I saw
a man walking down Bow street, shouting
at the top of his voice, giving vent to a
series of insane remarks a lunatic at large,
no doubt; police taking no notice of his
strange behavior. Society," he adds, "is
running a great risk by such a state of
things existing in a civilized land. Tho
theory-which I originally started after the
first Whitechapel murder, trom which I do
not intend to budge and which nothing that
has since happened has shaken, but more
than ever substantiated, is that the murderer
is a homicidal lunatic, and belongs not to
the class inhabiting the Whitechapel neigh
borhood, hut to the middle pr upper classes
that inhabit the West End of London.
When the truth is out I feel positive that
my statement will be proved to the very
letter."
