LTH0TJGH it was
a wet Sunday in the
Allegheny conser
Tatories, it was a de
lightful day to those
inside the transpar
ency. Xne rain pat
tered on the glass
roofs overhead, and
trickled down the
sloping sides in lit
tle rrimy runnels.
Through the blurred
panes one could dim
ly see the parks, halt
hidden in floating
mist. Here and there some luckless way
farer hurried throuch the rain, with up
turned coat-collar, and head bowed upon his
breast. The housetops looked indescribably
gloomy oyer the confuted mass of foliage,
and the gray smoke that floated upward from
the chimney stacks could hardly be distin
guished against the dark, lowering back
ground of sky.
Cut neither the rain nor the gloom suf
ficed to keep the usual crowd of Sunday con-,
servatory visitors lrom their accustomed
haunts.
There were muddy footpoints in the tiled
hall and along the passages. Here a
drenched umbrella had been, allowed to
form a little pool of water; here some un
tidy wight had sprinkled the flooring with
ram drops from his saturated headgear.

Everywhere, however, resounded human

whom the dull weather without had no more
effect than the proverbial water on the back
of the legendary duck. "What recked they
of the damp, cold Northern climate? Here
they were, comfortably housed, basking in
tropic heat, admiring the glorious vegeta
tion of equatorial climes.
Brawny mechanics, rough-hewn sons of
toil, with their buxom, dimpled dames
clinging lovingly to their strong arms; pert
misses; giggling, rosy-cheeked maidens,
fresh from the restraint of the
2Yvly Cosmopolitan Crowd.
'school room; grave professors, whose Ion?,
bony fingers poked among the plants; and,
finally, whole rows ot little twinkling eyes
that seemed weighing every bud and count
ing every fiber; these were among the many
who came to see the flowers this rainy Sun
day. There was the ubiquitous small boy, too,
with a faint halo of after-dinner jam around
his self-asserting mouth; and there were the
mutually adorinc couple, fallincr out and
making up, behind the convenient screen of
leaves.
THE LOVELT CHBT8AKTHESITJMS.
The chrysanthemums were all ablow in
the western conservatory. Does the wretch
ed creature live who loves not chrysanthe
mums? Of a surety, if there be such a
man, he has no soul for tne beautiful. To
the writer it is their exquisite simplicity
which attracts. If the rose be the gorgeous
Sueen of flowers, the chrysanthemum is
leir
"Quaker maid, demure and fair.
Whose winsome looks the bosom wound."
There were few in the conservatories yes
terday, at any rate, who did not admire the
chrysanthemums whether white, or yellow,
or reddish-purple; whether long and atarrv
of petal, or close and compact dainty little
flower globes. The professor beamed upon
them through his spectacles as a Bacon
might have beamed upon a Herrick's charm
ing love songs They were sweet to his soul.

every land, growing side by side in har
monious brotherhood. Tall, slender bam

fronded branches, lovingly intertwined
among the palmetto and 'cocoa trees of

pandanus ntilis from L lie de Bourbon,
throve in the same mold as a handsome
areca from the "sunny land of France."
Mighty-leaved bananas drooped their green
fruit clusters amid the foliage of cinnamon
trees, which might have waved over
Buddha's shrine in distant Handy.
English roses blnshed and paled beside
the rare arbutus whose parent stem had
roqted lightly on the wild Kerry hills in
bonnie Ireland. Europe, Asia and Amer

this composite floral nation; so typical of
the great composite America around it,
which is drawing its elements from every
land and every shore, and knitting them
into one glorious whole!
XS AMTTSIHO PHASE op IT.
It was amusing to follow the various
Croups from place to place.and to hear their
PUaunt chatter, on aH the strange speci
mens of vegetable life which met their eyes.
"n among the enrysanuemums, a "still
Jiuu voice" vh neara to whisper "Oh I

science whispered back: "Oh, Laura!
You bad girl! Don't you remember Sun
day school this afternoon?"
But Laura persists in being wicked. She
murmurs: ."Bother Sunday schooll You
watch, and uudge me if you see anyone
coming."
And then (alas for good principles as in
culcated by the Sunday school!) Ethel
whispers oncevmore: "'Well, pull me one,
too, Laura there's a dear!"
LOVE AMOXO THE EOSES.
"Where the roses bloom there are two
lovers. They are in the mute adoration
phase of their affections. She says, with
downcast eyes, "and blushing cheeks:
"Jack, dear, how I do love
roses!" "Whereupon Jack seizes her gloved
hands, and whispers: ".Maude, darling,
how I do love you!" Then these two rap
turous idyls in flesh and blood wander to
another section and disappear for a space
behind a banana tree, and emerge on the
other side, studiously looking in different
directions.
They are very pleasant sauntering places,
these Allegheny conservatories, on a Sun
day afternoon, even though the weather be
of the dampest and the crowd of the small
est. One can always while an hour away
beneath those giant palms and amid those
tropic plants the foster children of pur
northern sun. '
MUTINY ON BOABD.
A Rmilnn Sailor 3Inkei Trouble on nn
American Ship A Cnpmln and Crew
or Eight Rescued From
a Wnterj Grave.
New Yobk, October 27. The American
ship Landseer, from the Phillipine Islands,
with sugar for Boston, put into port to-day
flying signals of distress. The steamer
Patrol responded to the signal. "When the
police boarded the Landseer they found one
of the sailors, "William Matson, a Eussian,
in irons. On complaint of First Officer
Shipps, of the Landseer, Matson was placed
under arrest, charged with attempted feloni
ous assault.
The vessel's captain, Charles F. Smith,
(tied of rheumatic fever on September 28
last, when the vessel was off the Cape of
Good Hope and was buried at sea. His
wife and three children are aboard. On
August 11, while the captain was lying sick
and the first officer was in charge, the latter
ordered Matson aloft to reef a sail. Matson
went aloft, but did not do anything. "When
he came down Matson went to his bunk and
refused to come out. "When the first officer
went to root him out, Matson drew a knife
and slashed at the officer. "With the aid of
the rest of the crew Matson was placed in
irons..
On the 15th of this month, off Cape Hat
teras, the Landseer fell in with the crew
Captain Godfrey and eight colored men of
the schooner Jacob H. Hackett, from Sa
vannah for Boston. A hurricane had struck
her two davs before and swept everything
movable off her decks. Captain Godfrey
and his men were about abandoning all
hope when the Landseer hove in sight.
SETTLED AN OLD FEUD.
Two Men Killed and Many Wonnded In nn
Iowa Battle.
Dubuque, Ia., October 27. A fend of
20 years' standing was settled yesterday
near New Hampton, the county seat of
Chickasaw county, by a general battle, in
which two men were kilted and several
others wounded. Thomas Doud, his two
sons, Peter McKenna, and a number of
other farmers had assembled at the farm of
Albert Smith to assist him in a barn
raising. A feud has existed be
tween the Doud and McKenna fam
ilies, who occupy adjoining farms, ipr
2 years. All the neighborhood has taken
sides one way or the other, and the men who
met were armed to the teeth and prepared
for any emergency which might arise. They
worked together quietly until 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, when a dispnte arose. Hot
words passed, when, without a moment's
warning, Thomas Doud drew his revolver
and fired at McKenna, who was standing
ten feet away. McKenna was hit in the
forehead and the top of his head blown off.
As he fell, a man named Mnlvihill, a
friend and partisan of McKenna's, shot Doud
through the lnngs. Then the battle became
general. How many others were wounded
caunot be learned. A posse of officers was
sent out lrom New Hampton, and late last
night Ooud's two sons and Mnlvihill were
brought into the town and locked up. The
feud was the result of a dispute over the
ownership of a 40-acre tract of land lying
between the farms of Doud and McKenna.
Doud claimed the land belonged to him and
suit was brought to evict him. After a long
resistance the suit was successful.
MUCH FIP.E AND LITTLE WATER.
A Business Block Totally Destroyed In the
Early Morning.
Seljia, Ala., October 27. A fire broke
out in Liepold Brothers' dry goods estab
lishment on Broad street, in the center of
the business portion of the city this morn
ing, about 2 o'clock. The people were all
asleep, and the fire had gained great head
way before it was discovered. "When the
fire alarm was finally sounded, and the
engines had responded, the water plugs for
some time did not furnish sufficient pressure
toreachthe highest points where the fire
was' racinc. A brisk wind was blowing
and the flames spread with great rapidity.
In a short while the entire, block was in
flames. ' ,
The fire was communicated to Gills'
Hotel, a large brick structure on the -corner
of Broad and Alabama streets, which was
filled with guests. By ereat exertion the
guests were aroused while the building was
in flames and all fortunately made their
escape, some barely getting out in safetv in
their night clothes. In two hours the entire
block ot buildings was consumed. Proper
pressure on the water mains was secured
and enabled the firemen to check the flames,
and by 5 o'clock in the morning the fire was
under" control. The loss will foot up about
?200,000.
GETTING TO BE A CHESTNUT.
Iiots or People Who Aro Beady to Ontdo
the Eiffel Tower.
Minneapolis, October 27. Georce "W.
Cooley, formerly City Engineer of Minne
apolis, has designed a structure which he
proposes shall be erected on the grounds of
the World's Fair. The colossal proportions
of the structure would make the Eiffel tower
turn green with envy. The design contem
plates a pyramid of granite, each side of
whose base "is to be 1,320 feet long, and whose
summit will be 100 feet square and 1,000
feet above the ground. At the extreme top
will be placed a Goddess of Liberty 200 feet
high, making the total height 1,200 feet.
At each corner is to be a tower 100 feet
high, surmounted by statues of Columbus,
"Washington, the President and some other
prominentman in the nation's history. Mr.
Cooley believes the scheme can be carried
through in two years, and will lay his plans
before the cominn meeting of the National
Association of Engineers to ascertain its
feasibility. He estimates the cost of such a
structure at about 1175,000,000.

MEDIUMS AND MINING.
The
Queer Venture of a Party of
Theosophists iu Colorado.
SUCCESS AFTER DIFFICULTIES.
Washington Lobbyists Will Be Active ithe
Coming "Winter.
II IS NOT A DISHONORABLE CALLING
1C0SBE8F0SSESCE OF THB DISrATCH. J
"Washington, October 26. A well
known theosophist told me a few days ago
that the theosophists all oyer the country
had gone into a mining enterprise in Colo
rado under rather unique conditions. The
scheme was organized in St. Louis, which
has been the center of activity in mining
stocks since the St Louis owners of the
famous Granite Mountain Mine in Montana
became millionaires through the develop
ment of their property. St. Louis has a great
deal of money invested in mining property in
Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado
and other States and Territories of the
West
Some time ago a man named Stiles, who
had at one time been the head of a de
tective agency in St. Louis, and who was a
devout believer in the occult, discovered a
"child medium" of wonderful power. The
peculiar faculty of this child enabled her to
see through limitless space and endless sub
stance and to tell what was hidden in the
ground. Her specialty for even ''child
mediums" have specialties was the discov
ery or investigation of mines. She could
place a piece of virgin ore to her forehead,
it was claimed, and, closing her eyes, tell
whence it-came and what were its surround
ings. Stiles, to utilize the child medium's gift,
had her experiment with ore from some mines
that were offered for sale in St. Louis. By
means of her occult power she told him the
character of several mines, among others
the "Florence C." which was situated in
the Ouray district, in Colorado. "With the
Florence C ore at her forehead, she said
that if they would enter the side of the hill
on which it was situated, they would pro
ceed a certain distance when they would
come to a eranite "horse" or wall ot granite
of a certain thickness. Penetrating that
wall they would come to ore.
STEONG IN THE FAITH.
Stiles enlisted with him the believers in
the occult in St, Louis, and they organized
a company and raised enough money to
prosecute work on the mine. Gradually
the story of the mine spread and other
theosophists became interested until many
hundreds of them in different parts of the
country owned stock in the enterprise.
"Work was prosecuted with vigor. The
mine was situated on the side of Ouray
Mountain, near the town of Ouray. A tun
nel was started and carried forward into
the side of the mountain.
"When the workmen had proceeded about
as far as the "child medium" had indi
cated, they came to the "horse," just as she
had said they wonld. They pushed their
way at great expense through the granite
Wall. The labor was great and the amount
of money expended daily very large, but
the stockholders were full of hope. Some
of them sold their interests in business and
put the money into stock. The work went
on rapidly. The workmen approached the
limit which the "child medium" had named
as the. extent of thickness of the granite
wall. Expectation ran high. One morning
a telegram came to the office of the company
from the mine.
It was from Stiles, who had gone out to
the scene of operations and taken a pick in
his own hands to help along the work. The
telegram said that the wall had been pierced
and the ore body reached. There was e-reat
excitement among the stocEhoioers ana tne
osophy was at a premium. But another
telegram came and'shattered,many of their
loud hopes. The ore was there, but it was
not of sufficient richness to pay for mining
it. The stockholders were discouraged, but
not altogether, and the work of development
proceeded in the hope that the character of
the ore would improve.
ANOTHEB SCHEME.
The ore body did not improve materially,
but the prospects of the company did. Just
above the Florence C was another mine a
paying property. It was called the Keo
desha. Stiles noticed that the Keodesha
was dumping its tunnel waste down the
hill and that there was no other place to
dnmp it than on the Florence C property.
He served notice on the proprietors of the
Neodesha that they would not be allowed to
dump on his property any longer. They
endeavored (o effect a compromise, but
without avail. "Would Styles buy their
mine then? He would. "Would he give
$20,000 for it in consideration of the fact
that it was a paving property? He would
not. He would pay $10,000 for it.
There was nothing to do but to Re'l it to
him fur that amount. So the theosophists
now own the -Neodesna mine, which has
thns far paid the $12,000 for which the
Florence C was bonded and has also-paid
in part for itself. There are 40 men work
ing in it The stock ot the company is
pooled under an agreement not to sell for a
certain length of time. Theosophy is at a
preminm in St Louis. Bnt the identity of
the child medium who came so near doing
so wonderful a thing has not been disclosed
to this day. Stiles is the only man who
knows who she is and he is jealously guard
ing his secret from his friends and even his
co-partners in the mining company.
BILEX'S EAEIiT TKAINING.
"Very few people know that the first train
ing that James "Whitcomb Biley had in
grinding out poetry was gained on a news
paper on which he worked for the munificent
salary of $12 a weec," said Colonel Perry
S. Heath, the well-known correspondent, a
tew days ago. "I was 'sticking type' on
the same paper and I used to know Biley
very well. Writing poetry catoe as natur
ally to him as a natural vocation ever came to
a man. He could not resist the temptation to
drop into verse. The paper on which he
worked was the Anderson Democrat, pub
lished at Anderson, Ind. It was in 1877
that I first knew him. I was then setting
type on a Muncie paper and I would fre
quently go to Anderson to see Biley. I
afterward worked in Anderson for Todisman,
the proprietor of the Democrat.
"Biley had written some verse on two other
little Indiana papers, and had given such
evidence of ability that Todisman offered
him an advance of salary to work for the
Democrat. Drawing the princely salary of
fciz a wees:, ne was tne envy or every other
local writer in that section of Indiana. His
pet work was a column of verse, all his own,
which had a special place every week in tbe
Democrat.
"Old Todisman got a good bit of money
every week for that column of advertising,
and Biley, who divided 523,000 with Bill
Nye in the lecture field last season, got $12.
Poetry came as natural to Jim Biley as eat
ing. He conld not resist the temptation to
versify. He would be walking along the
street in the most innocent way, when his
eye would iignt on a gate with nine bars.
He'd stop and look at it, and muse a min
ute, and then 'off he'd go into verse nine
verses, nine lines to the verse. It seemed as
easy to him as talking."
LOBBYING PEOSPECTS.
The business of lobbying promises to pick
up a little during the "coming winter if the
schemes now under consideration for grant
ing steamship subsidies get before Congress.
Lobbying has not been a very profitable
trade since the exposure of the Star Boute
frauds. There is a certain amount of legis
lative work required of the agents of great
corporations every year, more for protection
than for anything else. All of the large
railroads keep agents here to warn them of
any impending legislation that is likely to
affect their interests. Some of them figure
as attorneys; some of them in other. capaci
ties. None of them admit their business
occupation openly, although there is so
reason to be especially nnhnmprl nf It-
Xhe railroads which hvvethelxttenaiiiu
in "Washington find it especially necessary
to follow legislative action closely, as all
the laws of the District of Columbia are
made by Congress and it is from Congress
that they must get permission to lay tracks
and switches, to cross streets, etc. The
great steamship companies keep agents at
the capital. Then there are a number of
special agents who come here, sometimes in
the guise of attorneys, when any project
like the Nicaragua Canal is before either
House for consideration. So peculiar is the
light in which the lobbyist or congressional
agent stands in the view of the public that
an attorney who comes to the city to labor
in the interest of some project, however
meritorious, must be exceedingly careful to
keep his skirts clear of the reputation of a
Congressional agent I was discussing this
matter with Mr. Cochran, ex-member of
Congress from Pennsylvania, formerly the
attorney for Captain James B. Eads and
now General Solicitor for the Missouri
Pacific Bailroad. Mr. Cochran was in
"Washington at the time that Captain Eads'
ship railway project was before Congress.
HAD TO BE CAEEFUL.
"I was extremely careful," he said to me,
"to keen away from the corridors of the
Capitol, and during all the time that I was
there I did not take advantage once of my
privilege as an ex-member to the floor of
the Honse. It seems strange to me, though,
that there should be such a prejudice against
the work ot representing great interests be
fore the two Houses of Congress. It is not
so in England. There it is regarded an
honor to be permitted 'to appear before
Parliament or any of its committees to ex
plain any matter under discussion. Parlia
ment paid Captain Eads $10,000 to appear
before a committee and explain his views of
the possibilities of the improvement of the
Mersey.
Beputable attorneys attorneys of great
distinction do appear before the commit
tees of tbe two Houses of Congress to make
arguments for or against any measure under
consideration. These are not tbe lobbyists,
however. The lobbyists are men who meet
convivial Congressmen and keep them sup
plied with wine; who seek out gourmands
and give them elaborate dinners; who sound
corrupt men until they learn how far they
are to be corrupted and pay them what
money they will take to influence their
votes. Fortunately there are few men in
either House of our Congress who have ever
been suspected of taking money so illegiti
mately earned. O'Beien-Bain.

Latest Phase of the Dispute Among South
Carolina Presbyterians.
I6PECIAI. TELEOEJLM TO TIIE DISFATCH.l
Chaeleston, S. O., October 27. The
Presbyterians of the Palmetto State are still
wrestling with the question of Adam's
origin. The State Synod met at Spartan
burg to-day and abont lBo delegates
answered to roll call. The opening services
having been first gone through with, the
Synod organized for business, and evolution
turned up at once. The moderator an
nounced the first business on hand was tbe
election of a moderator. The names of Bev.
J. M. Eose, of Greenville, and Bev. T. B.
.English, of Yorkville, were the nomina
tions. The vote resulted as follows: En
glish, 74; Bose, 66. Mr. English was de
clared elected. This was claimed as a point
scored in favor of the "Woodrow parly in
this State. English is a "Woodrowite.
Prof, woodrow has been boycotted in
consequence of his alleged evolution lec
tures. The feeling between the two factions
in this State is very bitter. At present Dr.
"Woodrow is a professor in'the State "Uni
versity, and his lectures are attended by
some of the students in the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary, from which he was
fired. The question of evolution will doubt
less come up before the Synod in the chape
of an effort to boycott Woodrow.
LIBERTY OR DEATH.
A Colored Prisoner Wanted the Former and
Obtained the Latter.
Alexandeia.La., October 27. A negro,
John David G reengaged about 33 years, was
tried yesterday for the murder of Melinda
Wallace, aged 13 years, on October
19, last year. This was his third trial.
The jury bronght in the verdict at 10 o'clock
last night, "Guilty, without capital pun
ishment." As he was being conveyed to tbe
jail he attempted to escape. Sheriff Staf
ford, who was in charge, was very much
surprised, as be has been a trusted prisoner
in the jail for several months past He at
first attempted to rnn after the fleeing pris
oner, but he got tripped and fell by that
time Green was 30 yards away.
Stafford pulled his pistol and fired, the
ball passing through Green's- body. His
wound was pronounced fatal. When told
he was sure to die in a short time and asked
about the crime for which he had just re
ceived a life sentence, he protested his in
nocence. Many ot tbe most reliable persons
from that section pay he is the one without
a donbt who should have been hung at once
for the crime, although they feared not
having evidence enough to convict him.
He died this afternoon protesting his inno

San Feancisco, October 27. Accord
ing to advices received from Honolulu to-l
day, there are four American vessels sta
tioned at that port the Iroquois, Michigan,
Nipsic and Alert, the Iroquois having re
cently arrived from San Francisco, and the
Michigan from Callas. Admiral Kimberly
still remains at Honolulu, and the squadron
is under his immediate command. It is not
known definitely here how long Admiral
Kimberly will remain at Honolulu, but it
is reported he will not return to San Fran
cisco until after the coming elections in the
Hawaiian Kingdom, and it is believed tbe
four warships will also remain there until
after that event
The trial of the men who engaged in the
recent rebellion at Honolulu has been in
progress for some time. The hearing of but
two cases has been completed, being those
of a Belgian named Loomens and a China
man. Both were found guilty. Bobert
Wilcox, the leader of ;the insurgents, who
has not yet been tried, was the principal
witness for the defense. He claimed that
he and his men were not engaged in rebel
lion, but in an effort to protect King Kala

Funeral Ceremonies Over an Empty Coffln
In a Providence Church Portuguese
Do Honor to tbe Memory
of tbo Late King.
Peovidence, B. L, October 27. Iu a
little wooden church, heavily hung with
black and only relieved by the colors of the
ensigns of the United States and Portugal,
a curious ceremonial was performed to-day
in a loreign tongue over an empty coffin.
It was a service in -memory of King Luis
of Portugal in the Church of Our Lady of
the Bosary, and the chief observers were the
Portuguese Beneficial Society ot this city.
The brethren had assembled at their hall,
nearly a mile from the church, and marched
thither, escorting s hearse drawn by six led
horses and preceded and followed by out
riders. The coffin was a costly wooden casket cov
ered with broadcloth. No portrait ot King
Luis and no suitable uniforms could be
procured as desired, so that the bier .was
without ensignia of royalty. O therwise the
appointments were complete. A band play
ing a dirge led the line to the church, but
the casket was not taken inside until after
mass. The bier was then carried forward to
a place before the altar, and was thereraised
high above the heads of the audience. Six
great candles were placed about it, while
altar boys held two more at the head and
another noy between these two held aloft a
cross.
The funeral service followed. It was in
troduced by prayer, and then Bev. Father
Serapa pronounced a eulogy upon the life of
Luis. Prayers for the dead, Upswinging of
the censor and responsive Binging by the
choir followed. After the ceremony, the
hearse and bier were escorted back to the
society's hall.
AN OBLIGINti PAETEIDGB.
It Flics Into a Kitchen nnd Prepares Itself
' for Brollinff.
WEBSTEE,MASS.,October 27. Partridges
in this town are very obliging. One flew
into E. W. Tourtellote's house through a
window pane the other day, and kept right
on into the kitchen and into a kettle of hot
water on the stove. Out of the kettle it
flounced, showering the apartment with
drops of scalding water, sailed aronnd the
room once or twice, and then went through
another window pane out into the world.
But the hot water in the kettle had bewil
dered the bird, and it crashed against the
side of a neighbor's house and fell dead.
Then Tourellotte went out and got the
bird. Nearly all the feathers had been

Don't Take Babble
Insist on Quality!
You can't by any possibil
ity get your money's worth
out of poor quality clothing!
It's a bad investment and
brings a disappointing result!

a heavydrain on your pock
etbook! There's a heap of differ
ence between ready-made
clothing! Put ours alongside;
it will demonstrate to you
how it excels. It's made with
a single eye to long and sat
isfying service; stylish, as pos
sible; reliable beyond perad
venture. These are important items
to you if you need' to keep
your eyes sharp about you,
and make expenses tally with
small wages! We don't care
how high your, wages', our
