HOW SUCH TEACHING IS DONE.
Tatience and Perseverance Accomplishing
Wonderful Things.
A THEOLOGICAL PROBLEM IS UNDER WAT
rfrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.l
Boston, Nov. 26. Throckmorton county,.
Texas, is far out of the general'way. The
little ranch on which Oscar Bobin supports
his family by the shearing of a few sheep is
in this county, 35 miles from Dallas, the
nearest railroad station. Robin came over
from Sweden about ten years ago, and found
a wife in the depths of the Tennessee
mountains. Their first child was born on
the ranch July 12, 1884. Two children,
girls, as the first was, have come since.
"With these younger girls this story has
nothing to do, except to note that they are
fair-skinned and healthy, and as intelligent
as most children of their age.
The oldest girl is already well known in
New England. Before many years she may
be famous throughout the world on account
of a most remarkable experiment that is
being made with her.
"When this little girl, who was christened
"Willie Elizabeth, was 15 months old, she
had an attack of spinal meningitis. The
doctors said it was congestion of the
Etomach. The child managed to live through
the results of this notable diagnosis, and
when she was 18 months old was again in
health, although thin and not as yet strong.
Condemned to a Ufelong Imprisonment.
But her sickness had stamped upon her
an affliction which does not often fall to the
lot of human beings. She was by it cut off
from all knowledge or means of communi
cation with the rest of the world, except by
the sense of touch. This little girl had
learned but two words mamma and papa.
Now, at the end of her sickness her mother
found that her little daughter's big gray
eyes would never see anything again; that
the small, prettily-Bhaped ears would have
no knowledge of voice or sound of any kind.
The child had been condemned to a life im
prisonment in a cell into which no ray of
light, no sound however loud, however
sweet, would penetrate.
The little one soon forgot the two words
she had known, and confined her vocal ut
terance to loud, strident cries of pain and
anger. As no sensation that would excite
especial pleasure could reach her, she never
rave vent to anything Ijfce laughter. She
...learned tro signs, the most necessary to
life, and known in one way or another to
all animals. "When 6he was hungry she
opened her mouth and thrust her fingers
down her throat. "When 6he was thirsty
she crossed her arms upon her breast, put
ting her clenched hands against her should
ers. The first sign was, as you see, a simple
pointing in the direction which food takes.
The second touched the place where the
thirst affects one.
Shrouded In Silence and Gloom.
She got her bearings ii the house, which
to her was forever shrouded in the pro
foundest silence and gloom. She followed
her mother about almost all the time, hav
ing strange freaks ot passion and vicious
ness. She was keenly sensitive to the
presence of living things in her neighbor
hood. She hated and feared animals of all
kinds, and when one came about she would
fly with uncouth screams of terror.
Her mother taught her to do some things,
but, of course, could make no progress in
real training. About the most complicated
thing she ever learned was washing dishes.
She got to be passionately fond of this, and,
to use her mother's remarkable expression,
"She wiped the plates till they creaked."
But at six years she was still a blind,
speechless girl, hearing nothing, knowing
nothing, groping in blackness and silence.
She as then taken to Jamaica, Plains,
where the kindergarten for the blind chil
dren is situated.
The young woman who devoted herself to
the labor of leading this little one out of
her bleak and soundless desert is Miss Ef
fie J. Thayer, whose parepts live in Brook
lyn. All that the child learns she gets
through this young woman. To her Miss
Thayer is light and voice and protection
the only means she has of touching the
world.
Sight and Hearing Gone Forever.
Before Miss Thayer began her wori the
child was carefully examined by Boston
specialists. It was found that the optic and
auditory nerves ere completely paralyzed.
Her mind was certainly almost a blank, and
it is not easy to think how the teacher could
reach in and take hold of the few tendrils ol
thought that might have reached out even
in such darkness and silence.
Miss Thayer did this, and to-day the child
has a vocabulary of about COO words, asks
questions and understands answers, reads a
bit, and is in many ways as far advanced as
the average hearing and seeing child of her
age. Miss Thayer says that the child does
not ask as many questions as she could wish,
but as Miss Thayer observes, this is not sur
prising when we think how faintly at best
the world looms upon the gloomy horizon
of the child's mind. She has a few simple,
abstract ideas, but hermentallife is material
and practical. She reads simple lessons. In
reading she takes the greatest delight She
is al way 8 anxious to take her book to bed
with her, where, ot course, she can read as
well as in the broadest, brightest day.
Results of an Interesting Experiment.
Mr. Anagnos, principal of the Pertins
Institute for the Blind, near this city, is
making a most interesting experiment with
the child. She was smitten at an age when
it was impossible for her to have had any
ideas beyond hunger and thirst She has a
mind of remarkable quickness and acute
ness. All religiouVideas have been kept
away from her. She knows the word
"church," and she has been to church, and
likes it because of the sensation of people
at rest which penetrated her probably. But
the does not know what a church is for, or
why people go there.
Now, Mr. Anagnos proposes that this
ignorance shall continue no more about
in her reading or in any conversation with
her. In a few years the world will begin to
arrange itself to her, and she will get
manv abstract ideas. She will besrin to
f reason about things, to ask questions. Then
it will come out wnether a human being
with no aid from other human beings, with
no suggestions from the sound of thunder,
the flash of lightning, with no view of trees
and seas and mountains and skies, can yet
rise to the thought of God. Most theists
have held that such a human being could,
because God has implanted a knowledge of
Himself in every human heart, a knowledge
innate and intuitive. If the child does
some day ast after the great cause, or
address Him under one of- His attributes, it
will be a stocking argument for the theory
of innate ideas.
The Imperllment of a Human Soul.
According to some Christian creeds this
keeping of the child in ignorance of God
and the tidings of heaven and hades would
imperil the salvation of its soul. But per
haps Mr. Anagnos thinks there is enough
difference of opinion on this point to justify
his experiment
The cost of keeping this child and of edu
cating her is more than $1,000 a year. As
Mr. Anagnos pays most of it out of his own
pocket he is not sorry when charity comes
to his aid and helps him in his endeavor to
give the child a knowledge of the world
which she can never see or hear. She
already understands that others do
with their eyes and ears as she
cannot do. " In addition to her
reading and dumb speech, she is becoming
proficient in all the games and work of the
kindergarten. She makes mats, she sews,
she cuts out figures, and her skill is mar
velous. Her small white fingers have as
great dexterity as sensitiveness. It must
not be forgotten that she has learned to
articulate 20 words.
A deaf child could yet see how words are
made. A blind child could, of course, hear
them. But this child has learned by feel
ing how they are uttered. The teacher
spells the word to her, then puts the child's
fingers against her lips and utters the
word. The child then tries to imitate it.
After awhile she gets the sound with sur
prising clearness. But no deaf mute ever
learned to articulate agreeably, and this
child will be no exception.
AN ENYOY FROM LEO,
Said to Have Been a Member of
Premier Salisbury's Household,
BUT UNKNOWN TO THE MARQUIS.
The rumor Comes in the Form of a Letter
From a Lady Visitor.
EVIDENTLY AFTER STATE SECRETS
CHARLEY ROSS ADOPTED
Br THE MAX ITHO DIED AFTER
MUSEUM FASTING RACE.
The Sheriffat Cortland Fully ConInc?d the
tost Boy Was a Member or Mratton's
Family Charley's Father in Correspon
dence With the Officer on the Subject.
Cobtland, N. Y., Nov. 26. Special
The death of G. Henry Stratton in New
York, after trying to break Succi's fasting
record, has brought to light a strange story.
It has been in the possession of Sheriff
Borthwick and the father of missing Char
ley Boss, of Philadelphia, for two years.
These two men have been working to iden
tify, in a boy adopted bv Stratton, the miss
ing Charley Ross. Tins morning Sheriff
Borthwick told this story:
"It is not generally known that Stratton
was a married man. "He separated from his
wife, who is now in Minnesota, many years
ago, and it was caused by Stratton introduc
ing into cis lamiiy a boy who he said he
had adopted. Mrs. Stratton did not want
the boy in the family, and when she gave
her husband the choice between herself and
the boy he chose the latter. This boy, I be
lieve, was none other than Charley Boss. I
will not say now, nor until I have concluded
my investigation, why I believe this.
"When Stratton came to this village he
brought the boy with him. He was known
as Fred Stratton, although Stratton admit
ted that he was not the boy's father. I have
been corresponding with Mr. Boss in Phila
delphia for some time. "We have found
many little incidents related by the boy
that have led Mr. Boss to believe there may
be something in it In some way Stratton
learned of what I knew, and sent" the boy to
Denver. I had many talks with him before
he was sent away, and what I learned I am
not now at liberty to say. As Stratton is
dead, I believe much more will come to
light
"Stratton was a very peculiar man in
many ways, but would never tell where he
got the boy. There are many things about
the boy that carried out my belief. This
boy has cut quite a figure in'Stratton's life,
and, beside separating him from his wife,
prevented him from marrying a Brooklyn
lady of wealth. She frequently came to
this village to see Stratton, and would have
married him were it not for the fact that he
persisted in having this boy with him."
Sheriff Borthwick showed a large pile of
letters he had received from Mr. Boss. He
says he will continue his investigation un
til his belief is either confirmed or knocked
out Sherifl: Borthwick is not a man to be
lieve without reason and he says his reasons
are formed on good grounds, which, in due
time, will be made public
Loxdon, Nov. 26. A curious story has
just been made public, which appears to
show that the Vatican had an emissary in
the very household of the Marquis of Salis
bury, the prime Minister, of course, being
entirely ignorant of the fact This startling
intelligence comes from a lady who was re
cently a guest at Hatfield House, the resi
dence in Hertfordshire of the Prime Min
ister. The fact's are set forth as follows in a let
ter written by the lady referred to:
"The last time I was staying at Hatfield
House I was struck by the face of the man
who was employed in the capacity of major
domo of the establishment The features
of this man haunted me as those of someone
whom I had seen before. "While trying to
remember where and when I had seen him
Hooked at the man rather frequently.
He noticed me observing him, and seemed
somewhat disconcerted. Suddenly I re
membered where we had met before, and he
instantly saw the recognition in my ccun
tenance. "It was in the Vatican, over a part of which
place while on a visit, he had conducted me
garbed in the robesof an Italian priest He
used fluent language in describing to me
the various things of interest which he
pointed out during our tour of the build
ing, and appeared to me to be a most affa
ble man.
"When I had discovered the identity of
my former guide, I at once resolved to tell
the facts to Iiord Salisbury at the first op
portunity next morning, but found that
upon rising the following day my quondam
friend had decamped during the
night by taking all his belongings with
him. The newsof thesudden disappearance
of the maior domo caused considerable con
fusion in the Premier's household. I told
the Marquis all I knew about the matter,
and he appeared to be very much put out
by the intelligence, but had little to say in
regard to the strange occurrence.
"The members of Lord Salisbury's family,
however, thoroughly discussed all the facts
of the case, and the conclusion arrived at by
them, after everything had been consid
ered, was that the missing man was a Jesuit
agent, and that he had insinuated himself
into the Premier's family for the purpose
of discovering secret matters concerning
the Vatican."
ment has abandoned its intention of support
ing the projected National Industrial and
Artistic Exhibition. This means that no
exhibition will be held. T,he reason is that
the financial position of the country makes
it inexpedient for the authorities to make
the necessary outlay. It was the intention
to hold the exhibition in Odessa in 1893, on
the occasion of the one hundredth anni
versary of the founding of that city.

The Appointment of Umpires as Well as
Arbitrators Angers the Men and May
Break Off Negotiations A Rejection of
the Terms Decided Upon.
i'Asis, jnov. so. i.ne jaDor troubles in
the department of Pas de Calais, where,
owing to the strike of 49,000miners, the
coal mining industry has been practically
brought to a stand-still, has caused the
owners of factories and other places to look
eisewnere ior a supply oi luei. Jfears are
entertained by manufacturers in the
Department du Nord, which adjoins Pas de
CalaiB on the east and which is, also, a large
coal-producing region, that the trouble may
spread among the miners In that depart
ment, in which case, unless they took extra
precautions, they would be compelled to
shut down all their works.
A number of the Pas de Calais manu
facturers have succeeded in importing coal
despite the appeal recently issued by the
strikers to miners in Great Britain, Bel
gium and Germany, to limit their output to
the actual requirements of their home trade
and thus prevent the export of coal to
France. And now large quantities of coal
from Germany and Belgian mines is arriving
daily at Boubaix and Tourcoing, both towns
in the Department du Nord, where it is be
ing delivered to the manufacturers against
coal famine there.
It is not known whether the foreign
miners have or have not heeded the request
of the French miners, but it is believed
that the supply of coal now being imported
from Germany and Belgium is part of the
surplus held in those countries.
A dispatch from Lens, Department of
Pas de Calais, states that in addition to the
six arbitrators appointed by the mine own
ers to meet a similar number appointed by
the strikers they have also appointed
umpires, xne appointment ot the umpires
is not viewed with favor by the strikers.
In fact, the leaders of the movement are
very indignant and threaten to break off
negotiations.
M. Basly, the Socialist member of the
Chamber of Deputies, who is taking such
a deep interest in the affairs of the strikers,
wired a message from the scene of the
trouble announcing that the miners of Pas
de Calais had resolved to reject the terms
of arbitration in the form which the mining
companies proposed.
IS THE STARTLING RUMOR STARTED
BY A BERLIN JOURNAL.
Said to Be'Weary or the Office An Infer
ence That the Chancellor Is Affecting
Bismarck's Flan of Coercing His Master
It Won't Work.
fBV CABLE TO THE DISPATCn.l
Berlin, Nov. 26. A decided sensation
was caused here to-day by the announce
ment that Chancellor Von Caprivi will, in
all probability, soon resign the Chancellor
ship of the German Empire. This unex
pected news was circulated this morning by
the TVochenUatt, a newspaper edited by
Deputy Arendt
It says, in explanation, that the latter is
weary of holding office, and that this fact
has caused him to arrive at the decision re
ferred to. It is inferred that the retirement
of Chancellor von Caprivi is not definitely
decided-upon, but that it is among the
strong probabilities.
The Chancellor's enemies, as soon as this
report gained circulation, started the rumor
that Von Caprivi has had a serious mis
understanding with the King, and
that he has adopted the old Bis
marckian tactics of threatening to re
sign unless he has his own way.
They add that he will find that "young
"WiUiam" will not put up with any such
"bluffing," and that Von Caprivi must re
member that, though he has been a "high
favorite," he is far from being the histori
cal personage Prince Bismarck was and
still is, in spite of everything.
Of course, coupled with this rumor is the
report that, should Von Caprivi retire,
Prince Bismarck may be recalled to power.
The accuracy of this rumor is very much
doubted here.

Gaines, who began her suit half a century

cries of "Viye la France," "Vive la Ee
publique." The Archbishop paid little attention to
the demonstrations of the mob and con
tinued his way to the station, where he im
mediately entered the train. It is believed
that his only object in going to Cambrai is
to visit Monsignor Thibaudier, the Arch
bishop of that see.

Henry May, anexpertcounterfeiterofgold
and silver coins, was locked up in the
Central station last night. He was brought
to Pittsburg by Deputy U. S. Marshal W.
W. Mouldin. of Atterlo, Ga. May had
been recently operating in theneighborhood
of Corry, Pa. and it is alleged by the
officials that he is the leader of the noto
rious gang that has for several months
been operating throughout the northwestern
part of Pennsylvania and in parts of New
York State.
May is CO years old. He is a daring
criminal and it is not yet a year since he
concluded a seven years' sentence in the
Columbus Penitentiary, having been con
victed of counterfeiting gold coin in Geor
gia. He was sent to the penitentiary from
the same State for the same offense for five
years some 15 years ago, and the officer who
brought him to Pittsburg last night says
they have another clear case against him.
May's coins are said to be the most per
fect counterfeit made, and the only way to
detect them is by their weight, Moy said
last night his only difficulty was in getting
metal heavy enough without using the real
gold. He makes no denial of the charges
against him, but he laughingly remarked
that the burden of proof rested with the
Government officials. The prisoner will
this morning be turned over to Marshal
Harrah. He will be tried in this district.
He Is Feeble and Infirm.
May is gray-headed and looks feeble and
infirm. He is an intelligent old man, but
is looked upon as a desperate character. He
has never been arrested without resistance,
and when overtaken in the wilds of Georgia
about 80 miles south of Atlanta by three
United States officers, he first attempted to
escape, and when cornered drew his gun to
shoot. The officers, including Mouldin,
also drew their revolvers and the old man
quietly submitted to arrest.
Mouldin, the Deputy Marshal whobrought
the old counterfeiter to this city, is a typ
ical Southerner. He gives a decided South
ern twang to his words, and he does not
have the remotest idea of what fear is. He
is the confirmed enemy ot Georgia moon
shiners, and he says he always goes about
prepared for a battle. He is 35 years old,
stands G feet 1 inch high and weighs 200
pounds. His prisoner was handcuffed when
he arrived at Central station last night. "I
didn't want, to handcuff the old man," the
officer said, '"but he's acquainted up here
and I'm not, you see."
A Confirmed Criminal.
"May is one of our oldest criminals," Of
ficer Mouldin said, "and he is certainly one
of the slickest in the business. United
States detectives had located him and his
gang at Corry, Pa., but when they were
ready to nip him he was gone. They fol
lowed him into Georgia, and as soon located
him in Atlanta. "When we got ready
to arrest.him he c was misting,, and it
took us' a montlrt&sgalrftirbeate him.
"We finally found him at Cedartown.
where we arrested him last week. I think
we have followed him to a finish thfs time.
He will not live through another term in
prison, yet he is so confirmed in his habits
of making bogus money that he is not safe
to be at large."
Officer Mouldin made an effort last night
to find Marshal Harrah or one of his assist
ants. He failed, however. He will turn
over his prisoner this morning and will then
return to his home.

The Danger of Switching on the Time of
a Passing; Train.
Cobtland, N. Y., Nov. 26. A collision
occurred at Messengerville at 5:30 this
morning on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
"Western Bailroad between a south-bound
freight train and a passenger train. The
passenger train, nnder the charge of Con
ductor Kettle and Engineer Kerlung, was
bound north on a single track. The freight
train tried to make a side track, running at
the rate of 20 miles an hour, while the pas
senger train was running at the rate of 40
miles an hour. The engineer of the passen
ger train saw the danger on rounding a
curve, but it was too late to stop the train.
He and his fireman jumped, as did the engi
neer and fireman of the freight train.
The engines came together with a terrific
crash, telescoping ..the express and mail
cars, which rolled down a six-foot embank
ment The passenger coaches remained on
the track. Engineer Kerlung was badly
injured, having jumped against a barbed
wire fence. He may recover. B. F. Den
ning, the express messenger of Syracuse,
was bruised, but not seriously. T. F. Cur
rie, the mail agent, of Syracuse, had one of
his hands smashed and is otherwise in
jured. The passengers, though shaken up,
were uninjured. The freight train was run

hangers-on put in an appearance and dis
cussed the Carlisle letter indorsing Mills,
and wondered whether it would do Mills as
much good as the remark of Henry George
that he is "a free trader from Freetrade-
ville, and therefore for Mills," would do
him harm.
j Mr. Mills himself sauntered around to
his "Willard Hotel headquarters as early as
9 o'clock, remained there a short time, then
visited briefly his Metropolitan Hotel head
quarters, and finding everything dead, dis
appeared for the day and for the dear
domestic turkey. He remained abroad long
enough, however, to explain a remark, of his
own which has caused a deal of curious
comment that in which he is said to have
accused Judge Crisp of being a protection
.Democrat. On this Jnterestingtopic Mr.
Mills said:

Charles Hopper Gibson, the new Senatof-

honor out of his new office, but "there is
money in it for him. Senator Wilson, of
Maryland, died February 2-J, 1890, just one
week before his term expired. The salary
he would have drawn for those seven days
was paidfto his widow by resolution of the
Senate. "Wilson had been re-elected, and
Senator Gibson's appointment carries with
it the salary from March 3 last, so when he'
takes his seat December 7 he will be en
titled to draw 3,808, with mileage to and
from Easton, Md., at the rate ot 10 cents a
mile each way. He will also be entitled to
5125 worth of stationary or the equivalent
in cash.
This constitutes the perquisites of a Sen
ator, together with three wooden packing

this morning until 2 this afternoon, in order
to see the beginning of the srame. The
gates were not opened until 10 o'clock, but
by that time great throngs of persons had
gathered about the different entrances.
"When the gates were opened there was a
rush that would have done credit to the
members of either eleven. The polica
could not stop it, wave their clubs and shout
as they might. The balance of the crowd
was kept in order after that.

Sak Feancisco, Nov. 20. The steam

partner of Mr. Sawers, who was killed by
bushmen at Tangoa Santo in the New Heb
rides, September 12, has written to Auck
land describing a scene of which he was an
eye-witness. Twelve or 14 natives ap
proached the clearing as if to apply for
work, and as Sawers advanced they fired,
killing him. They attacked Malcolm, but
he drove them off with a revolver. It was
afterward found that Sam, a native servant
of Sawyers', had been put to death and his
body torn to pieces, evidently to form a
meal for cannibals.
A Mexican General Under Arrest.
Eio Grande City, Nov. 2a Word has
been received here from Mier, Mex., that
General Hernandez and command were or
dered into that city yesterday by General
Lorenzo Garcia. General Hernandez was
at once placed under arrest by General
Garcia, who to-day sent the prisoner to the
City of Mexico under heavy guard. It is
also stated that the officers of General Her
nandez's troops were deprived of their arms
at. the same time. The cause of this sensa
tional action on the part oi the Government
is not known.
Tried to Cremate His Mother-in-Eaw.
Boston, Novl 26. Special W. H.
Lambert, of Cambridge, is nnder arrest
charged with the serious crime of trying to
get rid of his mother-in-law by burning her
to death. It is said he objected to her
presence in his house, but failed to oust her
by ordinary methods. Then, the police
say, he saturated a room in his. house with
kerosene and touched it off. Whether he
had in mind the destruction of hishouse, or
merely hoped to give his mother-in-latf an
effective scare is not known.
Mr. Mills In His Own Defense.
"I see in the New York World that Judge
Crisp's friends are angry because they say
in an interview with the reporter oi the
New York Times I called him a 'protection
Democrat' I have never said that Judge
Crisp was a protection Democrat, and the
New York Times does not say I did. My
attention was called to an article in the
New York Snn, Judge Crisp's strong advo
cate and a strong protectionist jourbal, in
which was said: 'If a party nominates
Henry George it thereby declares itself in
favor of the single tax; if a party nomi
nates NealDow it thereby declares itself in
favor of prohibition; if the Democrats in
the Fifty-second Congress nominate Eogcr
Q. Mills ior Speaker they will declare
themselves in favor of free trade.'
"When that paragraph was read to me I
said that Mr. Dana shouldhave carried out
his comparison, and said if the Democrats
nominate Judge Crisp they will declare
themselves in favor of protection. The
Sun declares that I am a free trader and
should be beaten for that reason. It sup
ports Judge Cri6p and earnestly advocates
him over me. To defeat me with any one
would as logically prove the House to "be in
favor of protection as to elect me would, ac
cording to the bun s reasoning, prove the
House to be in favor of free trade.
Opposed by All the Protectionists.
"The protectionist papers are all opposed
to my election. No protectionist in the
present House will vote for me. They
might all oppose me and advocate the elec
tion of a gentleman who was not a protec
tionist in order to defeat me and in fact
that is just what they are doing. I have
never believed Judge Crisp was a protec
tionist, and have never said so. Bat I do
believe that every protectionist in the
Democratic party favors him over me, and
some Democrats favor him who arc not pro
tectionists. "Judge Crisp's friends should not be
sensitive about such things. They have
charged that I am a free trader; that I am
supported by Henry George and Thomas G.
Shearman, the great single tax advocates;
but I have never complained. Thcv have
assailed my qualifications for Speaker be
cause they say I have an ungovernable
temper, but I have not permitted these at
tacks, though very hurtful to me, to ruffle
my feelings or lesson my regard for Judge
Crisp."
More rumors were started to-day in re-'
gard to the withdrawal of candidates, but
they were clearly the result of an attempt
to raise the wind on an exceedingly quiet
day. The candidates no" in the field are
in until at least one ballot is had iu the
caucus.
ETJCHBE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
A Slx-Hanaed Game That Is of Equal In
terest to Election Itetnrns.
Washington, Nov. 26. Special. Six
handed euchre is the favorite diversion of
President Harrison on leisure evenings at
the White House, and he has a cordial and
enthusiastic supporter in Secretary Tracy,
who heartily enjoys this game of cards.
Even when the election returns were being
received, recently at tbe Executiw Mansion,
there was a party in the family sitting room,
adjoining the oval apartment where the
Cabinet usually holds its sessions, and play
was only temporarily suspended when news
began to arrive from Ohio. It was wliile on
his Western trip a year ago that the Presi
dent was initiated into the mysteries, ot the
tame, of which he has since became a
evotee in preference to staid whist.
Probably no one who has played six
handed enchre ever laid down the "joker"
with a more complacent or satisfied air than
the President of the United. States docs
when one of his opponents bids five for the
privilege of making the tramp. "Count us
five, please," is his invariable expression;
and "you good people go back five points
ioryour recKlessness." The ladies of tne

Colotibtjs, Nov. 26. fSrrfrf.-Jacob
Donaldson, Senator Sherman's first lieuten
ant, said to-night: "I never conceded 38
votes, or within 9 of the nomination, to ex
Governor Foraker. George Beaton,
who used to bo Foraker's as
sistant exeentive clerk, was blow
ing about how many votes Foraker
would get for Senator, and how few Sher
man would receive, one night in the Neil
House, and that made me mad. and I nulled
out a printed list of the Eepublican mem-,
Ders-eiect oi tne next .Legislature, and

werefor Foraker. ne carefully went over

Foraker. I counted them, and there were
exactlv 28 of the 03 members-elect I did
not affirm or deny anything."
"Will Sherman have CO votes in the
caucus?
"Yes, indeed," said the quiet lieutenant
of the Mansfield sage. "He will have
more than 60 vote'. You will find that by
the time the Legislature meets the Foraker
boom will have collapsed. John Sherman
is just as sure of his re-election as you are
that you are breathing. He has votes
enough now, and is growing stronger every
dar.
Foraker's friend and managers here laugh
at Donaldson's positive manner, and sav it
is only "the old, old story" of whistling
while going through the graveyard to keep
one's courage up. They assert that Foraker
'has 49 votes, or two more than enough to
nominate.
Senator-elect Lampson, of the Cleveland
Ashtabula district, is here visiting the Sec
retary of State. He denies' that he will
make the speech nominating Foraker for
senator, in the caucus, but will not say for
wnom ne win vote. Xiampson is a candi
date for President pro tem of the Senate,
and there is a movement on foot to oust
Lieutenant Governor Marquis (Dem
ocrat) as soon as the Legislature
meets, which is one week before Governor
elect McKinley's inauguration, and put
Lampson in his place, as a sort of retalia
tory measure, for Lampson was "fired" as
Lieutenant Governor and Drpsidin? officer
of the Senate two years ago. Lampson is an.
jv u. j. Btrauuier, aim is posing as everv
body's friend," ns he wants the Sherman
and Foraker members of the Senate to vote
for him for presiding officer. While trying
to please both factions he is pleasing
neither.

Enraged Negroes Threaten an Attack Upon
an Arkansas Town.
Gubdon, Abk., Nov. 26. A wave of ex
citement is at its height in this place to
night Town Marshal J. J. Huffman pro
ceeded to arrest a negro on the charge of the
stealing of ?100.
A crowd of negroes overpowered the Mar
shal and released the prisoner. The offi
cer summoned a posse and a general skir
mish ensued. The whole town came out in
force. Guns, knives and revolvers were
freely used, but as far as learned no damage
was done besides the killing of one man,
whose name could not be learned, and the
wounding of a negro named Newton Brad
ley. The negroes are thoroughly aroused,
and it is feared will make a general attack
upon the whites during the night
seen on every thoroughfare leading to tha
grounds. They were draped in blue or
draped in orange and black, but whichever
color it was, the noisa was just the same.
The vendors of flags, who clustered out
side the gates, said they sold more blue
flags, but that may be accounted for by the
fact that many wore the brightest of yellow
chrysanthemums. The wearing of the flower
appeared to be the mode of expressing a
preference on the part of the woman who
were present, and the women formed no in
considerable portion of the immense throng.
At 1 o'clock a steady stream of humanity
flowed in upon the grand stand. Pretty
much all the other available space had been
taken by that time. The Yale flag wai
hoisted on the northern end of the grounds
whereat there was much hurrahing and
blowing of horns. It was repeated when a
tiger skin representing Princeton was hung
out in front of the upper balcony of tha
grandstand. Up to that time there was a
preponderance of Princeton colors about tha
grounds, but the adherents of Yale kept
coming in at the gates in whole droves, and
the stand soon became a moving moss of
blue.
Peculiarities ot the People Present.
This morning the field was exceedingly
damp, and that condition was increased by
the rain which began to fall at 12:30 o'clock.
In order to relieve the field and make it
more pleasant for tbe players, sawdust was
scattered about. The crowd which had
gathered by the time the game began was.
an interesting one to study. The gray
haired and stern-visaged judge sat beside
the beardless student and appeared to b
