AVashixgiox, Jan. SO. Xot since the
tcrribie tragedy of tbe fire at the residence,
of Secretary Tracy, ha 'Washington re
ceived such a shock from calamity in high
official life is that from the news of the
death of Secretary Windoin. It was quite
late before the first telegrams were received,
and when the report passed around the
hotel and restaurants it was not belieTed
until confirmed by the most direct news.
That the most heartfelt regret was ex
pressed goes without saying, but probably
the death of no other Cabinet officer, or of
'tlic President himself, would have called
out so general and profound an expression
of sorrow; for it is no disparagement to the
others to say that Secretary Windom was
the most popular member of the adminis
tration. His long service in the House
and Senate, and residence at other times in
Washington, during which he and his fam
ily were always conspicuous figures in
social life, and he always was the same
genial, obliging, companionable man, made
his lies with tbe Capital peculiarly strong.
Endeared Himself to AIL
It is the general verdict of all who have
come in contact with him during his present
term of office, that he was one of the most
courteous and approachable men ever in
high office under the Government. Most of
the Cabinet officers of this and of all ad
ministrations are rather difficult of access,
and also most of tberu are usually a filleted
with a very asgravating disease common in
ail walks of ofhcial lite known here as the
"iiig heaa," bnt Secretary Windom's official
door was open at all times and to all coiners,
and he or she mnst have been insistent and
impudent indeed who was not listened to
with patient kindness.
lie had so endeared himself to heads of
bureaus and others who came officially con
stantly in contact with him in the Treasury
Department, that his loss almost seemed to
ttiem a personal and family crief. Every
face of tbt hundreds of clerks, messengers
and officials of tbe Treasury Department, as
they assembled this morning, wore a look
of gloom. If most of them had not met Mr.
Wit'dom personally, all had had experience
of his kindly feeling and consideration, and
had learned to know his genial counte
nance as that of one of their number, think
ing and feeling with them rather than as
the chief of a department of the Govern
ment. A City of Mourning.
Soon after tbe officials and employes as
sembled an order was p.issed around dis
musing all who conld be spared and closing
the department forthe day. Soon the black
vestments weie twined about the pillars of
the p-cat building, and the whole place
bore the semblance of a h"use of mourning.
All flags were at half mast in every part of
the city. Congress met only to adjourn,
and altogether the day was a deeply solemn
one for the gay capital.
Tbe comment made by every one is the
number of sad sfilictions that have beset
members of the administration. In the
family of nearly every one death ias en
tered, and the Tracy horror, the death of
several members of the family cf Secretary
Blaine, and now the shocking taking-off of
Secretary Windom serve to make the fatali
ties more numerous and startling than in
any former administration, except that of
President Tyler, when two Cabinet officers
were killed by tbe explosion of a gun on
board a vessel.
The President Deeply Grieved.
Business was practically suspended in all
the executive departments. The President
is very deeply grieved over the loss of his
friend, and this morning gave instructions
to inform callers that he would see no one
on business to-day. Among the Presi
dent's callers during the morning were Sec
retary Blaine. Secretary and Mrs. Busk,
Postmaster General and Miss "Wanamaker,
Solicitor General Talt, Senator Hawley and
several Representatives who were special
friends cl Secretary Windom.
A meeting of the Bureau Chiefs and
heads of divisions ill the Treasury Depart
ment was held in Assistant Secretary
Spaulding's office at 10:30 o'clock. General
Spaulding presided and said he had called
them togetherjsimply to make arrangements
to meet the remains of Secretary Windom
on their arrival here. Ou motion of Chief
Clerk Brackett, a committee of seven was
appointed to drait suitable resolutions and
report them to a meeting to be held at noon
to-morrow. The committee was ap
pointed as follows: Assistant Secre
tary Jscttlctoi:, Assistant Secretary Spauld
5ng, I-'irst Auditor Fisher, Controller Lacey,
First Controller Matthews, Second Control
ler Gilkjrson and Inspector General
Dumc.ii.
Pyinpathj for the Stricken Family.
From an early hour this morning theie
was a constantstream of carriages arriving at
the family residence on Massachusetts ave
nue, bearing friends who came to manifest
their love and sympathy for the soreiy
afneken family. Among the callers were" a
vciy large number of persons of the highest
oifici.ii and social prominence in Washing
ton; and rnaDy who knew the dead best
couid not, as tl.cy left the house, restrain
their tear.'.
Mr?. Windom and the two daughters,
Florence and -Solly, arc bearing their grief
with great fortitude. Miss Hatch, one of
Mr. Windom's sisters, a member of the
household; Mr. J. Stanley Brown, the
daughter of President Garfield, and Miss
Coigate, of New Vork, a friend, who has
been visiting tbe family, remained with
them during a greater part of last nightand
are with them to-day.
The ouly son of Mr. Windom is traveling
in the South, and although telegrams have
been tent to all points where they could in
any likelihood reach him, no response was
received uutil this afternoon, when a tele
gram stated he was in Batou liougc, La.,
and will reach here Sunday.
Mrs. Windon-V, other sister, Mrs. John
Douglass, living in Minneapolis, has been
heard from, and will arrive here with her
hufchand Sunday evening. George Hatch,
of Boston, her only brother, will probably
arrive here to-morrow. Mr. Windom's
nearest relations now living are the widow
and three sons of a brother, who live at
SierliLg, III.
Time of the Funeral.
The time o: the funeral will depend upon
the arrival of the son, but it is probable that
it will take place on Monday, with private
services at tbe family residence and with
public services at the Church of the Cove
nant, of which Mr. Windom was a member.
Kev. Dr. Hamlin, the pastor, is expected to
prsich the funeral sermon. As Assistant
Secretary Xettleton is the senior Assistant
Secretary in point of service he will proba
bly he .fesignated to act as Secretary of the
Treasury for a period of ten days, which is
the limit ol designations of this kind.
The interment will be niadcatKock Creek
Cemetery, near the Soldiers' Home, and the
President, accompanied by Mrs. Dimmick
and the Postmaster General, drove out to
the cemetery this afternoon for the purpose
of selecting a suitable lot for burial.
The death of 3 cabinet officer during his
term of office has been a rare occurrence in
the historv of this country. Mr. Webster
and Mr. Upshur died while filling the office
of Secretary of State; Mr. Rollins while
Secretary of War; Mr. Brown and Mr.
Howe while Postmaster General, and Mr.
Folger while Secretaryol the Treasury. Mr.
Windom was therefore the second Secretary
of the Treasury, and, like Mr. Folger, he
died while away from the National Capital.
.Secretary Manning was stricken with a fatal
disease while Secretary of the Treasury, and
died soon after leaving Ihe service As was
also the case with Mr. Folger, Secretary
Windom died from heart failure, generally
attributed to overwork in the performance
of his official duties.

Removal of the Casket.
The party, headed by the President and
Mr. Blaine, proceeded to the end of the
platlorm and stood with heads uncovered
while the casket containing the remains
were removed from the car and placed on a
stand prepared for it. It was then taken in
charge by eight members of Company B, of
tbe Treasury National Guard, in uniform,
under Lientenant Moore, and borne slowly
to tbe bcarse through a passageway, of
which the railroad train formed one side
and a long line of people the other.
Attorney General Miller, Secretary Tracy

gentlemen: Ambrose "Snow, Darwin E.
James. James Talcott, F. B. Thurber, W.

avenue, Vermont avenue and Massachusetts
avenne to the Secretary's late residence,
where the family were awaiting its arrival.
The bearers carried the remains into the
house fhrough a crowd of people, who
reverently bared their heads as the casket
passed. The Presidentsndall of his official
family followed the remains into the house
and waited in the back parlor while the
undertaker and his assistants placed the
body iu the front room, and opened the top
half of the lid so as to expose to view the
Secretary's familiar features.
Looking on the Dead Face.
Mrs. Blaine remained with the President
and was tbe only lady present when the lat
ter and all the members of his Cabinet and
the others who had accompanied the remains
from the station, were ushered into the room
and looked upon the face of the distinguished
dead. When the party ic"t the house, the
bereaved widow and her daughters entered
the-room where the remains, were and re
mained there for a few minutes. While Mrs.
AVindom was kneeling over the casket, sob
bing convulsively, the British Minister ap
peared at the front doni and left a message
of condolence for the family.
The transfer of the remains from the sta
tion to the honse was made quietly and
with as little effort at display as possible.
The great esteem ielt for the deceased, how
ever, was shown by the numbers and char
acter of the assemblage that gathered to
honor his memory.
Mourned By Newspapermen.
Secretary Windom's death will be es
pecially deplored by the newspapermen.
He was accessible to them at all times and
seemed to take pleasure in assisting in their
work. He believed that the public"had a
right to know what the Executive depart
ment were dome, and he never declined a
reasonable request for information concern
ing the business of the Treasury.
The newspaper men, therefore, naturally
regarded him as a good friend, and will
always cherish his memory. They, as well
as all who had business with him, will
testify to his gentleness of manner and kind
ness ot heart
It is expected that an order will, issue
from the White House to-morrow, canceling
all official receptions, and entertainments for
the remainder of the season.
Action of the House. -An
air of sadness pervaded tbe Honse
this morning, and the prayerbf the chap

To whom can we come bnt to Tbec, O God,

New York, Jan. 30. The Board of
Trade and Transportation held a meeting
to-day and took suitable action on the death
of Secretary Windom. Ex-Secretary of
State Bayard paid a glowing tribute to the
memory of the deceased. He said:
I was tbe partaker of your hospitality last
night. To-day lam tbe leader in your grief
and sorrow. When I was honored by your
body with an invitation to come to New York.I
was greatly gratified when I knew that Secre
tary Windom would be my companion, as I
bad known him so well and long. I maybe
permitted to impress a fact on all that though
men maybe opposed to each other politically,
belonging to the two different great partte.,
they are yet friends. Tbey are tryiug to reach
the same ends, bnt by different means.
I was associated with William Windom for 13
years, and there arose up between us a sincere
confidence. We both bad as public men the
same end in view. No breath nt suspicion was
ever cast upon bim and his methods. He was
a faithful servant to his country. William
Windom's call came last night. His lite had
been imperiled serving you and our land. He
is wortby of your gratitude.
Resolutions drafted by General Stewart
L. Woodford and Judge Arnoux were pre

The news of the death of Secretary Win
dom startled and shocked Wall street this
morning. It was not thought, however,
that it would affect commercial or financial
interests materially. There is much dis
cussion already as to whom tbe probable
successor of Secretary Windom will be, but
tbe only names heard mentioned in con
nection with it are those of Senator Allison,
of Iowa, and ex-Senator Spooner, of Wis-'

THE PITTSBUKG DISPATCH. SATURDAY, JANUARY
THE DEAD RADICAL
Charles Lradlaugli, the Famous En
glish Freo Thinker, Nollore.
THE SKETCH OF A STORMY CAREER. J
A History of His Celebrated Parliamentary
Oath Contest
CLOSED A FEW DAIS BEFORE HIS END
London. Jan. 30. The great free-thinker
and Radical member of Parliament, Charles
Brndlaugb, is dead. He passed away at 6
o'clock this morning, the end of a prolonged
illness.
Charles Bradlaugh was born in 1833. He
was an atheist nnd a svmpathirer with Radi
cal revolutions. In 1873he made a short
visit to the United States, lecturing in the
larger cities. When Mr. Bradlaugh was re
ported to be dying, several days ago, Mr.
Gladstone moved the rescinding of the reso
lution of non-admission, passed nearly seven
years ago, and the Government was afraid
to oppose the motion. Following is a his
tory of this noted case:
A Celebrated Parliamentary Contest.
At the general election of 18S0 Mr.
Bradlaugh was returned for the borough of
Northampton in conjunction with Mr.
Labouchere. Though he had made two un
successful attempts at previous elections it
was-not until 1880 that the name of Charles
Bradlaugh became prominent in England,
He had been merely a secularist lecturer
against whom a prosecution had been di-
Charles Jiradlaugh.
rected for publishing a book charged with
being injurious to public morals, and
which prosecution failed. He had also
attacked Christianity with far more offen
siveness than Prof. Huxley, and the pen
sion list and the prerogatives of the crown
in a manner beside which the rapid utter
ances of agitators were nowhere iu compari
son. On presenting himself in the Honse in
order to be sworn, Mr. Bradlaugh refused
to take the oath, which is short au'd simple,
but which ends with the words, "So help me
God!" and these words Mr. Bradlaugh, not
believing in a Supreme" Being, refuted, to
invoke, and declared he could not con
scientiously use. Iustead of doing this, he
requested to be permitted to make an
affirmation. A select committee was ap
pointed, which reported tbat an affirmation
could not in such a case be substituted for
an o;.tli of allegiance to the sovereign.
31 r. Bradlaugh Thrown Into Prison.
Thereupon Mr. Bradlaugh presented him
self acaiu at the table, this time prepared to
take the prescribed form of parliamentary
oath, but Sir Stafford Northcote, the leader
of the Tory party, protested, concluding
with a motion that Mr. Bradlaugh be not
allowed to go through the form of taking the
oath in such cases. The motion was carried
by 208 votes to 175, and the member of
Northampton was requested to withdraw.
This he refused to do, and was arrested and
committed to the Tower.
Mr. Gladstone was forced to take the
matter up, and prompted the resolution per
mitting everyone to subscribe to a solemn
affirmation subject to any liability pre
scribed by tbe Parliamentary oaths bill of
18GG. In consequence of this resolution
Mr. Bradlaugh temporarily took his seat,
but was unseated in consequence of a sue-,
cessful action being brougnt against him
which imposed a penalty of 500 for illegal
sitting and voting in the House. Brad
laugh disputed the ruling and cooly pro
ceeded to take his seat, but was forcibly ex
pelled and ordered not to trespass again
within tbe precincts of Parliament. The
public interest became intense. Sir Stafford
Northcote was unyielding, and the case of
Mr. Bradlaugh was a veritable white ele
phant on tbe hands of the Liberals.
The Badical Victorious in Death.
Once again the legal right of Mr. Brad
laugh to administer the oath to himself was
carried to the law courts on the ground that
the Speaker was standing over the chair re
monstrating with Mr. Bradlaugh during tbe
process of oath taking, and there.ore was
not iu the strict parliamentary sense "in the
chair." Again Bradlaugh was unseated
and another election ordered; and again
Bradlaugh was returned at the head of the
poll.
There was nothing, therefore, to do if
Parliament was not to override the wishes of
the people and, disfranchise Northampton
but to compromise the burning issue and
give a seat to its representative; This was
done ou the motion of Mr. Gladstone, and
the expungement ot these records from the
minutes of tbe House of Commons was the
last act of complete deference to the feeling
of the people of Northampton, who on every
occasion returned Mr. Bradlaugh and his
friend, the equally irrepressible editor of
Truth, as their members to Parliament.
ARBITRATION REJECTED.
MB. SHAW-IEFEVBE PROPOSES A SET
TLEMENT OF TENANT DISPUTES.
The Tories, Led by Balfour, Oppose the
Motion and It is Lost T. W. Bussell,
Irish Unionist, and Sir George Trevelyn
" Speak on the Question.
London, Jan. -30. Mr. Shaw-Lefevre
(Liberal) moved in the House of Commons
to-day that the Government use its influ
ence in favor of the settlement by arbitra
tion of the remaining disputes between
tenants and landlords in Ireland arising
from the plan of campaign. He said that
there were now only 20 estates upon which
differences exist. Three thousand tenant
had been evicted from these estates,
and now lived in huts supported by
contribntions from Irishmen in all parts of
the world, in the hope' that the time was
coming when they would be reinstated in
their homes. Farm's had become derelict,
and in many cases the laud had become a
waste, covered with nettles breast high. No
new tenants, said the speaker, would ever
be found for these farms, and the best course
to bring about a settlement was by arbitra
tion. T;W. Russell (Irish Unionist) said he
would not oppose the principle of " arbitra
tion, but he must resist arbitration as a sort
of curative lymph likely to effect a complete
cure of tbe plan of campaign. The folly of
the plan of campaign was the greatest the
Parnellites had ever committed, and he
could understand their anxiety to get rid of
the costly business through the intervention
of anybody, even through the Government
whom they were accustomed-to revile.
Mr. Ballbursaid he wondered who had
inspired Mr. 8haw-Lfevre's rashness.
Which of the numerous notions of tho op
' (
position, he asked, did he expect to please
by a resolution which, it it meant anything,
meant that the aid of the Government was
required to accomplish the aims of the plan
of the campaign, and which never implied a
feebler or less efficacious attempt to settle
the great question than that made by Mr.
Gladstone in 1881. Certainly Mr. Sbaw
Lefevre could not have consulted Jlr. Par
nell or Mr. Gladstone. Nothing could be
worse for the cause in which they were en
caged than a resolution displaying to the
English public the seamy side ot one of the
most contemptible political agitations ever
adopted, and showing the Irish tenantry
how illusory were the promises of support
which the agitators made four years ago.
Mr. Balfour made a strong attack on the
plan of campaign. He was followed by Sir
George Trevelyn, Liberal, in favor of the
motion. Upon division, the moiion of Mr.
Shaw-Lefevre was rejected by a vote of 203
to 152.

Minister of Finance, referringto the customs
legislation recently adopted by the United
States, said that the retaliation bill of Sen

THE LYMPH IN BOSTON.
ALL CASES IN THE HOSPITAL PB0GBEES
1KG FAVOBABLY.
"None Will Be Beady for Discharge for Sev
eral Weeks The' Resulting Symptoms
Axe Those Desired A New Quantity of
the Medicine is Required.
rSFECIAL TELIGEAM TO THE DISFATCn.l
Boston, Jan. 30. With yesterday ended
the first four weeks of treatment with Prof.
Koch's lymph at the Massachusetts Gen
eral Hospital, and as that period had
been assigned as a minimum by the
discoverer inquiry was made to see whether
or not any of the 23 patients under treat
ment there were ready to be discharged. A
negative answer was received, but the state
ment was made that all were in a favorable
condition and were experiencing tbe usual
reaction.
At the first injection ihe phthical cases
were unchanged for some time, after which
came a rise ot temperature, Increase
of expectoration of a purulent char
acter, some feeling of pain in the
chest nnd dizziness, together with
slight nrnsea, but no vomiting. The lupus
cases had the same increase in temperature
and increase of inflammation, while in tbe
cases of tuberculosis the elevation in tem
perature was attended by local pains. All
Were the symptoms desired, and these have
been repeated throughout the treatment.
After the doses which have been admin
istered every other day by Drs- Beach and
Ernst to secure these results, an increase in
quantity of lymph has been required,
and instead of one milligram at
an injection, four or even eight
are given in some. In the lupus
cases the improvement had been exceeding
ly marked, and there is every reason to sup
pose that this will be peimanent. It must
not be thought, however, that the treat
ment is completed, for two or three weeks
at least must elapse before any of the
patients will be ready to leave the hospital.
Iu the phthical cases the improvement is not
nearly so marked, but it is still noticeable.
It will be necessary to continue the treat
ment for 5h indefinite' length of time, or
until the improvement is sufficient to war
rant a discharge.
It is the intention of the hospital staff to
keep the 24 beds filled with patients, pro
vided that a bufficient supply of lymph can
be obtained from Germany. At present
there is not much more than enough on
hand to complete the cases now in
the wards, but more will be sent. Nearly
every kind of tubercular disease has been
experimented upon, those now under treat
ment including lupus, phthisisand tubercu
losis of the elbow, knee and tongue; and,
therefore, all future cases will be sure of the
care which is required for any peculiar
variety of disease.

Call Hade on Governor Pattison to Enlist

THE BILL IS A' COXSERYAT1YE ONE
trnoit a staf cokhesfosdkkt.
Haruisbukg, Jan. 30. The State Road
Commission finished its labors this after
noon, and called upon Governor Pattison
in a body. Senator Harlan is Chairman of
the commission, but Senator Mylin acted
as spokesman. -He told His Excellency that
the commission, after a great deal of study
and careful "consideration, had "concluded
the draft of a general law, which they be
lieved should be' adopted by this Legisla
ture. "There is no doubt that this State needs
better country roads," said Governor-Patti-son.
" t'ln their present condition they "are
impassable in many parts of the State all
winter."
"The commission was fully satisfied of
that fact," responded Senator Mylin. "The
great difficulty experienced by our members
was to get a bill which will not scare off the
people who have heretofore been maintain
ing the roads. For that reason we have not
drafted anything too radical. We have
rather adhered to the middle course, making
our proposed law the first step in permanent
road improvements. It leaves the adminis
tration of -road building and repairing in
the hands of the local authorities. They
can suit themselves as to the amount of
money to be expended. If they run a town
ship in debt it will.be the township authori
ties who do it.''
After assuring the Governor that they had
called more to express their good will the
commission retired! Of course the real ob
ject of their call was to bring the subject of
road reform before the Executive and get
him interested, if possible, in the forthcom
ing legislation. Senator Mylin and Secre
tary Ettla still have much clerical work on
the bill. This will not be completed until
to-morrow. The bill pursues the general
line already outlined in The Dispatch.
It provides State aid to be given permanent
road building, according to the needs of
various counties and townships. The system
of working out road taxes is abolished, al
though a farmer may give notice that he
desires to work ou the roads, and he will be
paid so much per day as any other laborer,
but he must pav his taxes in cash.
The bill will be introduced in the House
next week; and will probably be advanced
on the calendar. Stofiel.

KHabrisbubg, Jan. 30. There has been
a good bit of amusement over tbe bill intro
duced here by Member Tewkesbury, of
Columbia county, to legalize liens on tomb
stones and other graveyard property. The
committee to which it went negatived it, and
so mnch fun was made over tbe bill that it
brought Mr. Tewkesbury into prominenceof
a mirthful type. He created a sensation in
the House to-day by moving the recommit
ment of the bill. At tbe same time he filed
his written reasons for making the re
quest. They are that the committee had squelched
the bill without calling any of its friends
heforethem; tbat comment on the bill had
placed him in an unfavorable position in the
House, and, finally, that the bill is in the
interest of labor, as marble cutters demanded
such a law. The law isiu force ic Ohio and
other States, Mr. Tewkesbury said. The
bill was recommitted.

PATCH. SECRET OF VENTRILOQUISM.
The Iearner Must Imitate Sounds as Heard
at a Distance.
Chambers' Journal.
The learner must study at all times to
imitate sounds, not as they are beard at
their source, but a's they fall upon the ear
after traveling from a distance. That is tbe
golden rule of ventriloquism; and, if it is
continually kept in mind, success is certain.
As conjurors endeavor to deceive the eye,
so ventriloquists try to deceive the ear.
The "distant voice" originates at that
spot iu the throat where the "cluck" takes
place when drinking, so, without any facial
contortions or movements of tbe lips, the
words must be forced against tbe back part
or' tbe palate one by one, with a series of
short, quick breaths, at the same time
strengthening tbe sounds by using the
muselt3 of the stomach, which will give
them increased power, so that they will
reach the audience clear and distinct. Tbe
farther off the sound is supposed to be the
smaller tbe quantity of breath mast be ex
pired. The great fault with beginners is
straining alter effect. No sooner do they
make a little headway and begin to feel
tbeir feet than, they want to run. a proceed

One of the Slav Customs.
No accurate account of the number of
men who descended Mammoth No. 2 on
Tuesday morning can be.scertained. This
is charged to be due to a h'abit,which is said
to be customary among the Slavs, of a man
bringing in one or two compatriots to assist
him. The first man has the check, and the
others assist and share in tbe value of the
output. In this way more men than are
represented by the checks issued may enter
a mine, and some ot them may never come
out of it again alive. This matter, it was
said to-day, would be brought to the atten
tion of the Legislative Committee ot Investi
gation to-day. Albert Paddock, chief engi
neer of the Standard Works, made a quiet
visit to the shaft this afternoon and spent
some time in examining the workings. .

Dunbae, Jan. 30. John Fulton, Gen

ing Engineer, of the Cambria Iron Com
pany, were in the coke regions to-day. Jn
speaking of the recent mine disaster at
Mammoth, its probable causes and results,
Mr. Fulton said he was positive his in
structions to his superintendents were to
discard the use of open lights, and to have
all underground employes use safety lamps,
and to use every safeguard possible to pre
vent such an accident in their mines.
The Pennsylvania Mining, Manufactur
ing and Supply Company have used noth
ing but safety lamps for some time past, and
in fact, they are generally used where there
is deep miuintr, and all agree that their use
should be made compulsory. The mines of
Coulter & Huff and tbe "Greensburg Coal
Company are the only mines in this section
known to be entirely free from gas, yet
these companies use safety lamps entirely.
One year ago the rule was made by the
miners and, it has been rigidly adhered to
by the men.

hoary. He had a flowing beard, eyes full
of benevolence, and the long nose of the
Latin races. He never displayed luxury
in dress, but he was particularly neat and
clean, and had all tbe elegance of a person
of good taste and manners. He was a for

walked along with thoughtful step, taking

elbowed bim on the boulevards, not know

for some rich old fellow going to the Bourse

for that is the best for health, and to be
well in, health is to be well in voice,
and good health is absolutely neces

it should do,-enables- tbe artiste. to become

To be artistes they should live as artistes

fine pictures, fine statues; read clever books

WAS HE- A JAILBIRD?
Taubeneck's Photograph Identified as
That of a Criminal by
THE WARDEN AND JIANT OTHERS;
Tbe Illinois Alliance Statesman Will Faca
Bis Accusers.
THE MATTEK IS TO BE INVESTIGATED
rSPZCIAI. TXLXOBAX to TUX DISPATCH-.!
Coltjsibus, Jan. 30. W. E. Dwyer, of
Indianapolis, was at the State prison to
day, having with him a photograph of
Herman S. Taubeneck, the Alliance mem
ber of the Illinois Legislature whoso
identity has been confounded with
that of W. H. Eogers, who served
a term in tbe Ohio prison.
Dwyer came late last night. He called ths
warden out at 2 o'clock this morning and
explained his business, bnt refused to givar
his name, and said he would answer no ques
tions. Dwyer produced the photograph,
.and asked thai it be shown to the prisoners
who remembered Eogers.
George 2Tye, an expert on identification,
when shown the picture, at once stated it ,
was that of Rogers. He was confident as to '
the identity. Dwyer said Rogers' right ,
name was Taubeneck, and the parents of
the Alliance member live a few miles from,'
Marshall, III., and are respectable peoples
He also said tbe brothers and sisters are tho
identical persons whom Rogers said werar
h!s brothers and sisters. '
Dwyer said that in 1874 laubeneck pnr-i
chased a cow from a widow, and the money
he paid her was all counterfeit but $2, and,
when this was discqvered, he left, comine to
Ohio, where he assumed the name Bogers. ,.
He also gave some history of the marriage
and business relations of Taubeneck in this
State. He deserted his wife, and after being
paroled in 1886 nnder the name Bogers, Tau
beneck appeared ' at his home and was,
recognized by his uncle, who has been the
canse of the recent trouble. The father of
young Tanbeneck made an effort to keep,
the matter quiet, saying the son was off,
mentally.
When Dwyer left this morning he-took
with him tbe photograph of Taubeneck, and
also the letters which had been received
from P. P.Laugblin and Fred Wood, which
played in important part in securing ths
parole of Bogers.
P. P. Donahue, grocer, who was foremiu
m the shop where Bogers worked, was
shown the picture of TauDeneck by Dwyer,
and said it was that of Bogers, and if not it
ought to be. Dwyer offered to pay the ex
penses of Donahue to Marshall, III.,
if he would go to-day, but as he
could not do so it was arranged for
him to go Tuesday. He says he
could recognize Bogers tbe moment he saw
him, and if Taubeneck was not the man h
wonld say so very quickly. Dwyer says
Taubeneck bears every mark and answers
every description given of Bogers.
On examination of the statistics Warden
Dyer has decided, in case Taubeneck should
turn out to be Bogers, he will have tho
authority to reincarcerate him, as the time,
intervening between the. violation of the pa
role and the return to prison does not count
on the sentence.

The F. 3L B. A. Statesman Accused of Being
a Jail Bird to Be Investigated.
Spbingfield, III., Jan. 30. In tho
House this morning, Taubeneck, F. M. B,
A. member, rose to a question of privilege
and sent to the clerk's desk a newspaper
containing a dispatch stating that Taube-.
neck's photograph had been recognized aj -that
of a former inmate of the Columbus,
O., penitentiary.
Tandeneck submitted a, resolution, direct
ing the committee recently appointed at hii
suggestion to investigate a published charge
tbat he was an ex-felon, to proceed at once
to the penitentiary at Columbus, O., and
make an exhaustive search ol the orison'
records and fully investigate the charge,
and tbat Taubeneck accompany them to
give the fullest opportunity for identifica
tjon by the prison authorities. The resolu
tion was adopted by acclamation.
JULES VEBHE'S PATBIOTISM.
He Refuses to Write a Book to Make
France and Germany Friends.
A French physician, while in Berlin,
lately had a conversation with a Teutonic
colleague relative to the prospects of a rec
onciliation between France and Germany,
The Gaul expressed his belief that the prin
cipal cause of tbe animosity between the
two nations was attributable to the ignor
ance of Frenchmen as regards Germany, and
opined that this might be obviated if 'popu
lar works, dealing with German life and
scenery, were published in Franc.
Tbe Berlin doctor at once conceived the
idea of writing to 2hL Jules Verne, and ask
ing him to bring outa book to be called "A.
Thirty Days' Trip Through Germany." The
author, in replying, thanked tbe medical
gentleman for the confidence which he
placed in him, but he doubted whether he
was cut out for re-establishing friendly re
lations between the two countries.
"If they are foes," added the novelist, "it
is not because they do not know one an
otber; and the book which you suggest
would have no success. Nothing short of
an act of reparation will modify the senti
ments entertained by .Frenchmen loc Ger
mans. It is not necessary for me to tell you
in what that act may consist; but anything
else would be vain, delusive and impossible
to accomplish."
M. Verne thns closed the correspondence
by this characteristic reference to Alsace
Lorraine. r
