The defeat of the French Government in the Chamber Thursday, although promptly re trie ed yesterday, has somewhat scared Europe. But the usual signs of peace have been unnuall abundant this week. Aus tria, for instance, has decided to put her fleet Into condition wh:ch will enable it to make a -resectable appearance in the Mediterra nean in the event of war, and the peace footing of the French, army has been in creased by 10,000 men. Siam has bravely ordered a gunboat to , , -v . . , ,, , oceed to the east coast of the Gulf of proceed iam,to ascertain the truth of the report that Prance has followed up tho aggressive movement on the mainland by occupying several small islands. The gunboat's mission is one of inquiry only, which is a good thing for the vessel, seeing that she will meet several Trench war vessels, any one cf which could pound her into small oeciions at short notice. Siam in this business is displaying unex pected, but not unnatural timidity, due to the discovery as the result of confidential inquiries in Europe that not one pon er will five her material help against France. The Siamese Government, in fact, has reason to fear that there has been ominous talk in Europe of "partition," and the only word of encouragement that has reached Eankok has come from Pekin. Kusla Strengthening Its Army. But it is in Eussia that the peaceful indi cations have been most striking and numer ous. A Vienna correspondent to-day tele graphs) some specimens. Every day, he eej s, brings fresh intelligence of what he describes, of course erroneously, as the war like preparations by Eussia. A number of Cadri battalions of the reserve infantry, garrisoned near the Austrian frontier, have been transferred into as many regiments, by the simple process of doubling their number up. This step was only intended to be taken after the order had been given to mobilize, and as it is being steadily carried on in all the "Western districts a military pouter con siders it the beginning of a mobilization. The same writer thus summarizes the pre parations made since 1SSi)i Two new army corps have been formed. Bifle battalions have been organized. New cavalry divi sions and Cossack regiments of the second levy and one Finnish dragoon regiment, Cossack infantry battalions and fortress ar tillery companies have been created, liaised to a War rooting. Batteries stationed near the "Western frontier have been raised to a war footing, the frontier guards have become regulars, tna, as already stated, the reserve infantry has been increased to a war footing. There remains hardly anything to be done to com plete the mobilization except tho transfer ence of the troops from the interior to the frontier, and for that purpose a network of itragetio lines has been constructed and double lines have been laid down along the whole Western frontier from north to south. The writer says emphatically that the ad vantage of the quicker mobilization hitherto enjoyed by Austria has disappeared, if in deed that country is not actually behind hand, its mobilization requiring three weeks, whereas Itus&ia's will be reduced to a fort night, as Eoon as all tho lines now being constructed are finished. Counter Moves by Germany. German military writers also have their eyes upon Eussian military movements and are urging counter preparations, which, it is said, the peaceful young Kaiser actually tuthorized before starting upon his Nor wegian trip last Tuesday. Following the now customary argument, it is evident that the peace of Europe was never more as sured than now. The argument is strengthened by the in teresting announcement that Prince Ferdi nand, of Bulgaria, has become extremely tat, and in consequence, has been ordered to take a course of mountain climb ing During his recent stay at Carlsbad, the Prince drank a prodigious cuantity of the water and walked six hours caily without reducing his tonnage. Peo ple unacquainted with current American politics contend that a fat mau cannot be ambitious, and they expect Ferdinand's sdipose tissue will occupy his mind for a longtime to come, to the exclusion of thoughts about an extention of territory and other matters irritating to the mighty ruler of Eussia. A COBDEK CLUB UTTEBANCE. Concerned Over the Protectionist Policy of the Toung Colonies. London, July 18. The Cobden Club, at & meeting last night, adopted a report which declares that, "If it had not been suggested by some home protectionists, it was not likely that any colonist would have been so unreasonable as to propose that we should, while admitting colonial goods free of duty, tux similar commodities imported from foraign countries. "While the Presi dent of the Board of Trade in the Govern ment of Lord Salisbury delivers unanswer able refutation of the argument that it is a case tor fiscal federation, as presented by the United Trade League, our free trade system docs not appear to be greatly endan gered. But e must be on our guard, as these proposals are now strongly urged by colonists, as well as by the league. "Protectionism in protectionist countries JL. has not attained the height at which it stood at the time of Cobden. Though some advance was made a quarter of a century ago in the direction of free trade, it has been lost The interests of employers and land owners are powerful, and governments find it comparatively easy to raise enormous revenues by collusion with the interests which prollt by protection." The report also predicts that compositors and kindred trades will not suffer on account of the American copyright act. NOT ORTHODOX ENOUGH. COXGKEGATIONAIi MINISTERS MUST SHU2J THE TOITAHIAN. Complaints of Too Much Fraternizing Be tween Them American Delegates Prom inent In the Great Council at London Editor Stead After Dilke. tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, July 18. The International Congressional conference held this week in London has not attracted much public at tention, although the proceedings have been extremely interesting. Differences of opinion have made themselves felt from time to time, notably at yesterday's meet ing, when the Eev. Dr. Condor, of Leeds, read a paper on "the gains and losses of the Chnrch in spiritual influence. " In the course of the discussion which followed, Mr. "Walker, of Melbourne, caused a con siderable sensation by declaring amid a chorus of denials and protestations that there was a marked tendency in Australia on the part of Congregational ministers to fraternize with Unitarians, even to the ex tont of exchanging pulpits. The statement seemed to excite the epecial wrath of the Eev. Dr. Noble, of Chicago, who persisted in cross-examining the speaker until he obtained a robust nega tive reply to the question, "Shall our churchpulpit be exchanged ecclesiastically with Unitariai ministers, and shall Uni tarian ministers be invited to our confer ences and councils"?" The American dele gates have taken a very prominent part in the proceedings of the conference, and their eloquence, learning and good fellowship have been everywhere praised. Out of the eight delegates appointed to represent the conference at the unvailing of the John Robinson memorial tablet at Leyden, Hol land, on the 24th Inst., no fewer than four are Americans, viz., Key. A. Hall, Con necticut; Dr. A H. Boss, Michigan: Mr. G. H. Whitcomb, Massachusetts, and Mr. iC H. "Woods, Minnesota. To-morrow many of the London Congre gational Churches will be occupied by I American ministers. Editor W. T. Stead who it is well known looks after the moral ' :,,. f t?ih , , ;,!, has sent a. circular letter to the delegates, inviting them "to take part in a conference devoted to tho "" " "",""-1 consideration of certain grave moral issues, which have of late brought the Noncon formist conscience somewhat prominently before the world, but which are not on the official programme of the Congregational Council! " This novel conference will be held Mon day afternoon under the presidency of Dr. Parker. It is understood that one of Mr. Stead's grievances is the support given to Sir Charles Dilke in his character as a poli tician by certain Nonconformist ministers. Mr. Stead regards that eminent baronet as unfit to associate with decent men and he is doing his best to prevent him from getting into Parliament. AHOTHEB EOYAL YISITOB. The Prince of Naples 'Will Soon Test the Hospitality of the English. CBT CABLX TO THE DISPATCH. Losdox, July 18. The Prince of Naples arrives for a month's stay, and ina quiet kind of way an interesting programme is being arranged for his eutertainmenX He ' will be the guest, during his stay, of the Italian Ambassador, but he will visit the Queen at Osborne, see the regatta at Cowes under royal auspices and attend a review of the troops at Aldershot. Lord Salisbury will give a garden party in his honor at Hatfield and the Italian colony in London will entertain him at a banquet. The young Prince will devote a consider able portion of his time here to Bcientifio and practical pursuits. He will be shown over, at his own request, many of the most interesting factories in England, and will devote a half day to examining the wonders in "Woolwich arsenal. He is an enthusi astio collector of coins, and visits to the South Kensington and British Museums are among his forthcoming engagements. The Prince is handsome, with a prepossessing manner. He speaks and writes English like a native, and it court rumors may be cred ited, he is anxious for introductions to the fair daughters, or rather granddaughters, of the royal house of England. AKOTHEE CABINET TEOTTBLB. jltnljter of War Ae Freycinet, of Prance, Defeated in the Chamber. Paris, July, 18. The Chamber of Dep uties to-day rejected the proposal made by M. de Freycinet, Minister of "War, to grant the sum off 120,000 to the Ecole Polytech nique. As a result the session of the Cham ber was suspended and a Cabinet Council was summoned to consider the situation. The members of the Council of Ministers hae persuaded M. de Freycinet not to tender his resignation. The Cabinet Minis ters have represented to M. de Freycinet that the rejection by the Chamber of Deputies of the credit asked for in his capacity as Minister of "War for the Ecole Poly technique did not imply a want of con fidence in the Government. "When the Ministers returned to the Chamber the ses sion was resumed, but was immediately afterward closed. JEIGHI HUNDBED IK PEEIL. A Passenger Steamer Collides With a Brig nntine and Sinks It. London, July 18. The German steamer Dresden, from Bremen for Baltimore with S00 emigrants on board, collided with the Bristol bargentine Annie Harris off Start Point at 12:15 o'clock this morning. The Annie Harris sank immediately before assistance could be given. Four of her crew were drowned. The captain and mate were saved. The passengers on the Dresden were greatly alarmed until reassured. An exam ination of the steamer was made, and it was found that the injury she had sustained was not sufficient to prevent her from proceed ing. The Dresden placed the survivors of the Anmo Harris on board a fishing smack. PABNELL'S LITTLE GAME. He Is Withholding the Costs of the Divorce Salt to Plague O'Shea. IBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, July 18. Parnell does not in tend going through the Bankruptcy Court to evade payment of Captain O'Shea's law costs in the notorious divorce suit. It is quite in accordance with Parnell's temper to give O'Shea all the trouble and annoyance which a fertile mind can con ceive and it is just in that spirit that the former idol of Ireland is withholding from O'Shea the amount of his indebtedness until the last possible moment. BESOLVED INTO A FAECX. The Eoyal Commission on Labor Is a Pretty Useless Luxury. BT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, July 18. The Eoyal Commis is-I THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. sion on Labor is showing signs of exhaus tion, and will soon take a long holiday. The proceedings this week have not been par ticularly edifying, the commissioners and witnesses showing too great a disposition to wrangle. This, however, may be due to the hot weather, which has also thinned tho attend ance of the members, and has caused one commissioner to regret the intense respecta bility of his environments, which prevents him from Bitting in his shirt sleeves, as is his cooling custom when at his desk at the Dockers' Union office at the East End. A SALISBURY FEELER. THEPBEMIEB GIVES A HINT A3 TO THE GOVERNMENT POLICY. Public Attention to Be Drawn Away From the Home Rule Question Female Suf frage the Substitute Attraction Glad- ! etono Regaining His Health. tBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, Julyl& Lord Salisbury made a speech Wednesday night, which has since occupied the attention of politicians, to the exclusion of other topics. The speech was unusually dull for Lord Salisbury, but ample notes, to which the orator repeatedly referred, proved that it had been carefully prepared. It is probable, therefore, that the speech was meant to be a feeler, and the general opinion is that it indicates the policy resolved upon by the Government, in the hope of distracting the attention of electors from the home rule question nt the general election. That policy is evidently to be one of electoral and administrative re form, including a concession of parlia mentary suffrage to women. The Tories are immensely delighted at the Premier's emphatio declaration that this Parliament shall run its full legal lease and hope that the next session will be de voted to the reform bill, by means of which it would be quite possible so to rearrange the electoral areas as to make secure many Tory and Liberal Unionist seats, which, under the existing arrangement, must certainly be lost. The scheme is a bold one and will require perfect party discipline and hard work to carry it through. But the Tory leaders are confident that the thing can be done if the entire session be devoted to it, and if Lord Hartington and his fol lowers give it their active support. The scheme, of course, will meet persist ent and determined resistance from the Liberals, who deny the right of any mori bund government to bring in any reform bilL It is by no means improbable that the next session will be of the liveliest charac ter. The bishops have unexpectedly blessed the free education bill, thereby ac celerating its passage through the House of Lords and insuring its enactment this ses sion. Mr. Gladstone is back again in Lowestoft and is fast regaining his normal health. A Liberal victory in Wisbech will doubtless complete4the cure. Everything is in favor of the Tory candidates, but the Liberals are working hard and are full of confidence. Gladstone is dangerously near the constitu ency, but having promised his medical ad visers that he will not speak in public until they give permission, he has had to content himself with writing a manifesto, in the form of a cheery letter to the Liberal candi date. PP.INCE QEOEQE'S OBDEAL. He Is Made the Subject of Kodak Fiends to a Painful Degree. CUT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! London, July 18. Among the distin guished arrivals by the Majestio this week were Princa George, of Greece, and Jimmy Powers, the eminent comedian. The two becamt great friends during the voyage. Powers describ si tho Princ-j as a most affable and genial person, and expresses his disgust with the conduct of the kodak friends, who pestered the royal young man on board. Powers says thaj Prince George could not walk the decki during the entire trip with out twe or three kodakial vandals of both sexes rush'ng up and snapping their cameras in his face, all or which no bore with the utmost good nature. Powers says that the climax was reached when a yearning yokel from the wondering West slapped the Prince on the shoulder and said: "Wal, Prince, your name is George, and so is mine; we ought to know each other. Shake." Prince"George shook as requested. When the steamer arrived almost the entire passenger list gripped the good-natnred young fellow's hand in fare well and leit him with that member swol len like a President's after a White House reception.

The Animal Goes on Parade With 10,000 of Queen Victoria's Soldiers. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, July 18. Queen Victoria re viewed 10,000 "of her troops at Aldershot Thursday. The soldiers were "not particu larly fine samples, and they scarcely did their work as well as the volunteers last Saturday berore Emperor William. There was one sight worth seeing, however, in the form of an 11-year-old dapple-gray mare. This remarkable animal, which was on parade, looking fit for anything, had its off thigh bone broken two years ago. It was put in slings for six months, then given easy work, which was gradually increased, until now it is perfectly sound and strong. PITTSBURG, SUNDAY, JULY 19, 1891 FARMING THAT PATS. A Eemedy That Might Be Well Ap plied by the Farmers' Alliance. VIEWS OP A MAN WHO GOT LEFT. He Sought Bliss in the Country and Found a Blister, Instead. A COMPARISON WITH QUITE A MORAL Talking of the Farmers' Alliance and its probable bull-in-a-china-shop possibilities, fiat money, etc., said a professional man who lately thought to find bliss by moving into the conntry a few miles from Pitts burg, some years ago: "Let them ally as much as they please, the more the better. Anything tending to make them acquainted with each other and the world will be of advantage to them, for they need enlight enment much more than do the Senegom bians. There are exceptions, of course, but I tell you the farming population near large cities is,on the whole, a disagreeable class to live among and fellowship with. It is not what it is was 50 or 40, or even 25 years ago, and if you want to find the self-reliant, hon est and intelligent ideal farmer.that one met with daily in our youth, and still finds in farm and fireside journals, yon must look for him at a distance from the busy marts where he has learned the rules of sharp com petition without getting the culture and breadth that accompany the better class of city business men. Eemember, I do not say that all Western Pennsylvania farm ers, nor even all those of Allegheny county are to be held at arm's length, but a very considerable portion of them must be if you do not want to get worsted in your dealings with them. And worse than all, the soulless clodhoppers think it greatly to their credit if they can, by telling you a lie, take advantage of your ignorance of the value of their wares and do you up. Uilk Dearer Than in the City. "When I first went out I frequently had them do work with their teams, plowing, eta I noticed that their work was very indifferently done and they charged about double price for it. I got milk From one for a time, and he put the tariff on me hieher than I ever found it in the city. I had been buying it in the city and carry ing it out, paying 21 cents a gallon for it, and it was of good quality, but I got tired of the trouble and sent to a farmer to know if he would give me what I wanted, I to send for it. He said the proposition was acceptable and I got milk from him for a considerable time and finally asked for the bilL He made it out promptly at 32 cents a gallon, 2fi per cent more than a city retail dealer charged me. It was in the winter season when I dealt with both. I paid the bill, but found another farmer who was white and only charged me 20 cents a gal lon. The man who charged me 32 cents ships milk to the city and knows the price. On inquiry I found that he got 17 cents a'gallon from the city dealer and paid X cents freight, so that this honest hayseed got 15Ji cents net for what ha shipped, but charged a home customer 1 cent a gallon more than twice what he netted in the city. A country neighbor who deals on the square explained that the milk dealer knew he was dealing with a sucker and considered him legitimate game. And this man, though honest himself, justified his profane neigh bor on the ground that he was only follow ing a rather prevalent oountry custom of charging what he pleased in the absence of a oontraot How Business Is Done In Town. "Now, when I buy from a reputable man In the city I do not find it necessary to make a stipulation as to the price of what I buy. He charges me the market price and I expect to pay It and I would not get it any cheaper were I to waste time chaffer ing. Yet the man who oharged me 32 cents for milk is a member in good standing in an orthodox church, and doubtless thanks God from time to time that he is not as other men, publicans and other sinners, for in stance. No matter if the average farmer pay tithe of mint and annise and cummin, he regards such practice as justifiable and he seems to think it is no sin to soldier his, time in when he works on the roads, and this is one reason why there is scarcely ahigh way in the country outside of the cities that is safe to drive on more than four months in the year. The honest granger cheats him self in the latter case under the fond delusion that he is cheating the public. I once bought Concord grapes on Liberty street for $3 0 per hundred pounds when the Bhipper one ol my neighbors asked So per hundred. He paid out of his $3 50 the freight and 5 per cent commission to the middleman, but he thought a 'sucker' knew no better than to be taken in by him. "A friend of mine moved into the country some years ago and purchased a farm. He was wealthy and a church member. He had been accustomed to paying a high pew rent in a city church, where the pastor got 55,000 or to,vuu a year, ana wnen no uuueu wiiu the rural congregation he voluntarily con tributed two or three times as much to the church as other wealthy men in the section were in the habit of doing, Thero may have been eome 'business' in this on his put, but his wife, at least, was a devout Christian and the husband was disposed to be liberal on her account; besides he wanted his children to be as sociated with the church members for the moral benefit exp'ected to be derived. By and by the officers of the church held a meeting and without asking the city man to be present, proceeded to order some im provements made and assessed him his full share of the cost, notwithstanding his pre vious liberality. He objected on business grounds, stating that before giving adhe sion he expected to be consulted. His pro test received no attention and he pulled out. He now takes his family several miles to church, at considerable cost, and tho gooso ihat laid golden eggs is killed, so far as the first congregation is concerned. Many Sach Cases on Record. "I might enumerate instance after in stance of the same oharacter, but these will suffice to show that the ideal farmer is not more numerous oontiguous to large cities than is the ideal hero of Indian romance and the cause is this: The nearby farmer is in the city; but not of it. He learns its sharp practices, but not its bal ancing virtues, and though he may go to church and perform all outward religious duties, yet he proposes to travel as near the brink of sheol as possible without tumbling over, .preaching has not the same enect on him as it had on his father, or at least on his grandfather. He has a little more learn ing than they and it is a dangerous thing. He can see into a thing but not through it and the reflection is warped, or refracted, as a ray of light when it enters obliquely a. medium of a different density from that through which it has previously moved. . The trouble appears to be that he is too far from the city to attend its lectures, concerts, theaters) etc., its softening influences are lost on him, and yet he is too near to form permanent asso ciations of the kind found in territory re mote from trade marts, where farmers are forced to find society and recreation among themselves, and where the circulating library and the debating club flourish and where emotions that ennoble humanity are necessarily generated to make society en durable. "For these reasons, if for no other, I hope to see the Alliance eet hold in tnis county. As ism sharpeneth ism, so will their gather pig to discuss political question broaden and humanize them. The temperance issue has lost its conjuring power, besides many temperance farmers do not want prohibi tion if it is likely to hurt the sale of cider." Sharp Tractlce Not lTier Profitable. Anyone familiar with the subject will in dorse the major part of what this man says, and yet the average" nearby farmer can scarce, with all his sharp practice, make a living, and the elucidation of the problem is one worth the careful study of economists. That it arises from mismanagement, ignor ance, narrow-minded hoggery or a disin clination to work is evident. There is merit in the complaint of the farmer of to day that he pays relatively high prices for what he buys and gets low prices for v hat he sells, but the farmers at the begin ning of this century, with very few labor saving appliances, were happy and pros perous, yet they paid 50 cents" a yard for calico which to-day can be bought for 5 cents; they paid ISyi cents for Brown sugar, to-day granulated can be bought for 5 cents, i cents by the barrel; they paid 50 cents a yard for cotton leans and shirtings, 75 cents for a handkerchief, 75 cents a yard for muslin, 65 cents a yard for gingham, 51 a yard for cambric, and 15 cents a rjaner for pins. Work was'done by hand and farming implements were very dear. Matche3were unknown, and the people guarded their fire as carefully as did the sacred vestals, 2,600 years ago, or borrowed from their neighbors, or used flint and tinder. On the other hand most of what the farmer sold rarely brought as much as it does now, and aside from cereals less than one-half, and frequently not more than one third; butter seldom sold for more than 12 cents a pound, or eggs than 6 cents a dozen. The farmer got 3J and 4 cents for dressed beef. It brings more than twice that much to-day. Mortgages and machinery were al most unknown. A Kemedy for the Matter. There is a remedy for all this, and if peo ple teach politicians that they have a graver duty to perform than the maintenance of party supremacy it will be found. But a condition precedent is that farmers and all laborers must make up their minds, first, to be honest themselves, make their political servants follow suit and the privates in the ranks must inform themselves, as servants are not apt to be more honest than their masters nor to study tho interests of those who do not themselves know them. We are often told that "commerce is the handmaid of religion," but a writer sug gests that facility of communication has dis tinctly lessened the responsibility of man ufacturers and tradesmen (he might have added farmers) "and our poor human nature is such that when the bond of respon sibility is loosened there is a tendency to dishonest gains." Markets are greater and more numerous and competition in them tends toward cheapness rather than toward excellence. Edward Atkinson says that the difference of one-eighth of a cent a yard in the cost ot cotton goods is some times enough to decide whether an exten sive market should be controlled by one or by another nation. In consequence the labrio is made cheap at the expense of qual ity; the best berries, apples and potatoes are found at the top of the box or barrel; butter is adulterated and there is seemingly no end to the rascalities practiced to the injury of both health and pocket. It is suggested as a remedy that middle men bo abolished, and the old relation of producer and customer be restored, so that dishonest makers will be unable to change from market to market as fast as found out. But the complexity of modern trade is such that relief is not likely to be found in this direction, and the writer, in despair, con cludes: "If commerce were ever the hand maid of religion, so far as religion still con cerns itself with morals, she has become al most a suspicious character, whose service is of doubtful value and her behavior the source of infinite vexation, if not of scan dal." WOLF IK SHEEP'S CLOTHINO. A Kltvannlng Girl Seeks to End Her life In Fittshorg Owing to Man's Villainy. Maggie Connelly, 17 years old, reputed to be the daughter of a wealthy grocer of Kittanning, tried to jump into the Alle gheny from the Butler street bridge on Fri day evening, but was prevented by a man named Bobinson. She was induced to fore go her suicidal intent and return to her lodging at 119 Eorty-fifth street. Her story is one of blandishments and false promises on the part of an Alleeheny Valley Bailroad brakeman and of foolish confidence on the part of a schoolgirl. The girl used to travel from Kittanning to this city to school, and became acquainted with the brakeman. This wolf in uniform induced her about last October to come to the. city, where he promised to get her a position as saleslady. He placed her at 119 Forty-fifth street, and has paid her board since then. Tho girl made fre quent appeals to the fellow to marry her, as he promised, but in vain. She met him on Pnday night by appointment on the Butler street bridge, and when he again refused she determined to end her life. Tha girl will be sent homo and the brakeman pro ceeded against.

From picturesque Lake county, CaL, where tho ex-cooing doves, Lily Langtry and Freddy Gebhardt, own adjoining ranches, several thousand acres in extent, comes a story of love, fickleness and intended revenge by the jilted lover that makes very interesting reading in connection with the report from London that Abingdon Baird, who is said to have bought the Lily a fashionable house and paid off her fashionable debts, went to the house the other day and, find ing a fashionable young man with her, forcibly ejected him from the place and then kicked her in the face until she re sembled almost anything else than a lily. It would appear from the reports that Freddy, cast aside after these years of con stancy, has a very sore heart in consequence of Langtry's desertion, and that he deter mined upon sweet revenge. As said before, the two farms adjoined each other, and as Gebhardt was exceedingly fond of horses, and owned some very celebrated ones, he had his fine equine heroes and heroines re moved to his Lake county ranch. Lily, not to be outdone by her admirer, also pur chased several valuable horses, among them being the celebrated stallion Friar Tuck, by imp. Hermit, worth perhaps 515,000. Intended to Return to California. Dr. C. W. Aby, the well-known horse man, was chosen by Gebhardt to look after the valuable stable that had been combined in one. Thus matters stood when the couple left for the East. It is impossible to know what Langtry's intentions were when she left her beautifnl mountain home, but cer tain it is that she left instructions that nothing should be touched in her love of a cottage. Her furniture was there, the etch ings and bric-a-brao were there, many of her rich dresses hung in the wardrobe, and it would look as if she meant to return. But she never came back, and everything is now as it was then, except that the lawn, once green, is thickly grown with weeds and looks desolate. As soon as Freddy learned that he had been coldly cast aside for Baird, instead of wasting his time in vain repinings, it is said he at once telegraphed Aby to drive nil the lovely Lily's thoroughbreds out into the wild highway to prowl about at will, to become food for the wild beasts of the adjacent forest. This fierce mandate from the ferocious Freddy was a little too much for Aby, who preferred to stand the wrath of the jilted one rather than sacrifice such noble animals in the way outlined. Therefore he refused, and the attorney of Mrs. Langtry in this city journeyed to the white cottage and made proper arrange ments for the disposal of the stock, and now, so far as the stock is concerned, all is settled. How Langtry Bought a Mine. There are incidents of Langtry's visits to California which are of interest and which have never been published. It jhas been said, and with truth no doubt, that she did many Bhrewd things in the way of advertis ing. At one time she rented a house some where out in the Mission, and tried to make everybody believe she intended to remain here until gathered to her fathers, when she would be laid away in an elaborate vault in Laurel Hill Cemetery, or some other city of the dead. But it was all a myth. Then she bought some ground over inNevada,had a hole dug in it, and called it the Langtry mine. Sam Davis, a well-known newspaper man, says he sold her the ground for 5200. She was in the statue scene of Galalea in "Pyg malion and Galatea," and during the scene Davis was in the wings. She dared not move a muscle. He said in a low voice: "Is it a bargain for 5200? I'll consider that it is if you don't shake your head." The statue remained still, and even when the Lily came out afterward she was so taken with the originality of the scheme that she paid the money over at once. PEE8ECUTED BY LETTE23. The Author of Anonymous Messages of Slan- der in tho Law's Hands. DesMolves,Ia., July 18. Deputy United States Marshal Etheridge this afternoon ar rested Mrs. Ann W. Wood on a charge of depositing postal cards in the United States postoflice on which were written serious re flections on the character of another. The trouble began seven and a half years ago, just prior to the marriage of J. S. McQuiston and Clara Wheeler, upon the receipt of an anonymous let ter by the mother of the girl seriously reflecting upon the character of the young man. Soon after a second letter, directed to J. S. McQuiston, was received, which maligned the character of the girl he was engaged to wed. Three and a half years elapsed before another letter came to Land. Tnis was addressed to the mother of J. S. McQuiston, and charged the latter and his wife with neglecting and starving the child that had been bom of his marriage with Clara Wheeler. Other letters followed for some time, charging nameless offenses, each message exceeding its predecessor in scurrility. Meantime, a pjivate deteotivo who had been working on the case for over three years hopelessly gave it up, and the matter was turned over to George M. Christian, a postoflice inspector. Securing a letter that was written by the suspected party to a member of the victimized family while on a visit to Chicago some years ago, he placed a dead-letter stamp on it, deposited it in the postoflice and sent word to the suspected writer of the let ters that there was a dead letter in the Des Moines postoflice, and for her to at once ap pear and secure it. She did so, but at first disclaimed the authorship of it, although afterward she admitted that she had written it. To-day she was arrested and placed un der 5500 bonds. PAID TRIFLING FINES. Judge Gripp Lets the Diamond Street Gam blers Down Very Easy Mayor Gourley Takes a Little Hand in the Game They Denied Everything. James Grogan, alia3 "Jimmy the Crab," with the six other gamblers who got "pinched" at the gay gambling house at 52 Diamond street on Tuesday night, were given a hearing yesterday before Judge Gripp and let off with light fines. Mayor Gourley had declared that he intended to probe to the bottom the story that the gam blers had been given police protection and he was present at tha hearing. It had just opened when he and John Newell entered together. During the proceedings the Mayor announced the reason of his pres ence at the hearing, and asked "Jimmy the Crab" if there was any truth in the story that they had been guaranteed police pro tection. The gambler answered "No," and the Mayor declared he was satisfied. Detective Coulson testified as to how the games of faro and roulette were in progress when he entered the room. He said the first intimation he had that a game was in progress was on Tuesday afternoon, when Grogan told him of it with the statement, "I suppose you know all about it." Soon after that he said Inspector McAleese handed him warrants for the arrest of each of the men. He believed all the men ex cent Blake and Grosan were emrjloves. Inspector McAleese said he had heard of the opening ot tne rooms and nad ordered Grogan to close at once, but as they did not obey the order he raided the place. William Hunter, who defended the ramblers, stated the game was a mistake on the part of the players. They had been following" the races and had opened up rooms in the other cities and had not been interrupted. They did not expect to be bothered here because they were only run ning a privato game to kill time. Judge Grip then remarked: "If they had asked permission from Chief Brown I suppose he would have given them privileges to open during the races." At the conclusion of the hearing 'Squire Gripp asked the Mayor whether he would hold the gamblers for court or simply fine them under the city ordinance. The Mayor told him to use his own discretion, and the men were simply fined as follows: James Grogan, 5100 and costs; John Blake. 550 and costs, and William Keed, "Buck" Cor nelius and Pat Nee each 525 and costs. Shore and Bobbins were discharged. PABD0NED FOB HI3 WIFE'S SAKS. A Prisoner Is Set Free in Tims to Be Present at Her Death. Brldgepoet, N. J., July 18. Young Jacob Johnson, of Millville, has just been pardoned out of jail. His term had nearly expired when he received word that his wife was dying. This news half crazed Johnson, and kind-hearted Sheriff Whitecar immedi ately drove to the Presiding Judge's resi dence to see if Johnson could n Jt be taken home for a few hoars. The Judge said that there wa3 no legal remedy. The Sheriff implored in vain, even- otlenng himseii to De locKed up in John son's cell until he would return. Fortu nately the State Prison Board met the fol lowing day, and friends hastened to Trenton and Johnson's pardon was granted, but the Eapers'could not be forwarded for several ours. After pacing hi3 cell all night, Johnson picked un a morning paper and there learned of his freedom. A dispatch then arrived saying that his wife was still living, but was unconscious. There was another wait of- several hours for the papers from Trenton, which at last arrived. A car riage was waiting at the jail, and Johnson was taken to his home, ten miles distant. In an hour he was at his dying wife's side. She recognized her husband, and with one word of affection to him became unconscious again and in a few hours died.

Elements of Greatness In the Iron Chancellor's Character. A GOOD NEWSPAPEEPAEAGRAPHEB Hott Hi3 Tlvid Phrases Affected English ' and Trench Politics. HIS EEL1TI05S TO EHPEEOE TTCLLLUli pTEITTKC TOE THE BISPATCR, So much is written in the newspapers, at home and abroad, about Prince Bismarck, his dismissal from the German Government and his attitude toward the Empire, that certain glimpses of the man, as I saw him In Germany, with some notes of his char-, acter and career, may be timely. I asso ciate Bismarck with an event not without Interest to American journalists, the ad vent of George W. Smalley, the famous Lon don correspondent of the New York Tribune. I can hardly call it an advent because Smalley hod done good work, and a great deal of it, as far back as Antietam days. A notable article which he wrote in 1863, called, if I remember, an "Afternoon with Count Bismarck," was the virtual introduc tion of the Prince to the American world. It was a masterful, prophetic article, and led the Tritnmi management to confide to Mr. Smalley the trust in which he has woa so enviable a fame. Tha estimate then formed of Bismarck has since been justified by his transcendent career. Even now in retirement, and under the clouds of imperial disfavor, there is no history which may be studied with more advantage than that of the Great Chancellor, Kept Peace hj Making Sews. One of Bismarck's warmest friends once described him to me as the most successful journalist of the century. The Prince, I was told, had mastered the science which may be rudely described as that of "working the public" This science, which has it, own audacious piratical laws, as those of ui who have been in the rougher departments of journalism have realized, Bismarck had ap plied to statesmanship. How to be talked about, and how to have people say, whether good or evil, just what one wished Baid Bis marck assuredly had this power. It was the observation of London journal ists that when the Chancellor wanted ona species of news in circulation he would tap the Times; when he desired another, it would be the Telegraph or the PaU Mall GazetU I was easier, cheaper, more humane to supply the English journals with news than to fight England a lesson which if Napoleon earlier in the century had learned, there would, have been no rupture of the treaty of Amiens. But in Napoleon's day journalism was a struggling influence, and not that mighty power whioh now claims to be one of the estates of the realm. Recognizing1' this mastery of the science of working th' public as attained by Bismarck, I never, read stories about him without askinirii What was tho Prince to gain by having thii ' said? To the mind accustomed to this process of inquiry the Bismarck stories be come a literature of their own. Working Francs With Paragraphs. With an antagonist like the sensitive,! gifted, impressionable Prench, diplomacy by paragraphs has its advantages. If a ds bate ran beyond bounds in the Corps Legist latif, or tie policy of revenge becam( truculent, a quiet allusion in tha Times to-) certain conversations in official circles in. Borne looking toward the restoration of Savoy to Italy, or the amount of indemnitrl Prance with her increased wealth could i bear, or the importance of the Pyrenees tot Spain and the peace of Europe, would hava! an instant effect. This diplomacy by paragraphs when ap plied to French public opinion was salutary.,., when applied to the internal affairs of Ger-j many it was an irritant. The eiasperatiottj in German official circles toward Bismarck, ' unintelligible to those who see him as a re tired country nobleman, managing hi, forests and his breweries, is the outcome- of' the stream of paragraphs which came aa surely from the Chancellor's mind as if j himself were the editor on duty. A Bis marck paragraph is as much a note of art as an engraving of Albert Durer, or a carvinir by Benvenuto Cellini. The student will readily see it. There is the master's hand. The innuendo, the humor, the daring peri-j phrasis, the homely, fierce application, on' could no more mistake it than mistake a Lincoln story. Of the art of putting things ' to suit one's purposes the century has seen j two masters, the President who parried j Emancipation by his famous illustration ofj the Pope's bull against the comet, and therj Chancellor who destroyed the effect of thr cloquence Jules Favre's pleas for France, by the intimation that the French envoy I had been whitening his face as actors do when they would depict human suffering. Bismarck's Terse, Vivid Sentence. When I saw Bismarck and had the privi lege of sharing in some, to me, ever memor able conversations, this editorial faculty the way of pntting things, the terse, vivid. sentence, tha wayward humor, gave a power ; and charm to what he said. It was like , taking up Swift or Voltaire after a coursa of summer reading of domestic fiction. How , he sent soma tremendous minor potentats of tha governing class, quarterings goinj back to Charlemagne, whirling into spaca ' with the remark: "You see ne was not av' republican like you and I, but some mere ordinary, incurable fool of a prince." t never open the Almanac da Gotua without looking out this transfixed and transfigured potentate and seeing him pierced and wriggling under the Bismarck snait. Trnljr a fearful power, and must have made this Chancellor a terrible comrade in imperial councils. His answer to the Emperor's patent ele vating him to the Dukedom of Lauenber; is a masterpiece of contempt. "It will be useful," he 6aid, "when I travel incognito in Italy." The superb insolence and humor of the response a great Emperor fancying he was conferring a splendid fief, a dignity of medieval splendor, and to have it tossed aside as if the Prince wero giving a caston? garment to his courier. I can well under stand the chagrin of the Emperor. A less patient sovereign would have resented aa arrogance worthy of Wolsey and Becket. j3ayard Taylor I Meeting With Grant. There is a bit of personal history in con nection with my meeting Prince Bismarck that comes back to me aa concerning a memorable man. I had gone to Gotha to visit Dr. Peterman; the geographer, return ing by way of Berlin tojoin General Grant. Bayard Taylor was Minister. I had known him long and well, but found him perturbed over the idea of the General's coming. Taylor was an exuberant, manly, innocent character. Grant had been President. Tay lor, as an editor of the Tribune, had written against his re-election in prose and verse, and with some vehemence. Now Grant was coming to Berlin, aad Taylor as Mia- i I 4 1
