Sese are the words in which a rhyming
recorded the eent of yesterday at the

iliarly termed, is a notable lady, and
last of the seTen younj; Catho
Irishwomen who founded the order

rent in County Carlow and at the in
tion of Bishop Michael O'Connor, of
diocese, who, in dire distress over the
ailing need of the place, wrote home to
native Ireland imploring aid. Seven
s and seven priests reported and left
America shortly afterward, the Sister

g subject to the mother house were rep
nted in almost every instance in a body,
these, with the diocesan clergy, found
erical gathering that has been rarely
aled, and certainly never outdone in
tsburg. A wonderfully vigorous woman
her age, Mother Elizabeth went every
sre yesterday receiving congratulations
attentions in all directions. At 10

tsbnrg diocese, the Rt Rev. R. Phelan,

originally expected to be. It has little

sents to the aged mother. No bride
Id have been more remembered. And
regulation spoons for a bride and silver
. were there in abundance,
'he novelty of the day came in the after
n, when the children of the house schools
sented an operetta, preceded by a jubilee
rch. It began at 3 o'clock in the after
n, and Mother Elizabeth and Bishop
;ian Dotn were present, occupying
cial chairs near the stage. A
ngent rule forbade the presence
a secular, and, therefore,
y the Siters and priests viewed the pcr
Jiance. Even the parents of the little
s wouldnot be admitted, but to-day, lor
ir especial benefit, a second performance
1 be given. In the jubilee march a mam
th nosegay of pink and white roses and a
wn were presented by two little girls to
hop Phelan and by the Bishop to the
ther.
The Miracle of the Koses" was the title
the operetta, which is founded on the
ry so well known to every little Catholic
Id of St Elizabeth and the miraculous
asformation of loaves of bread into
utilul roses. As the story is somewhat
;uely remembered, the operetta seems to
c a few liberties with it and by a second
acle causes the roses to be replaced by
more mundane loaves of bread,
"he young girls who bore the principal

He Is Released From the Workhouse
Confront Many Charges.
Irwin Luster, a colored man, was arrested
yesterday by Detective Kornman, of Alle
gheny, on charges of felonious assault,
sure of the peace and assault and battery,
preferred against him by as many different
people. The first charge is preferred by
Marie Yogel, a white girl who resides at
Glenfield, and who alleges that he crimin
ally assaulted her. The surety of the peace
charge is lodged by Chris Segenglen, of
Glendale, who alleges that the prisoner at
tempted to break into his store and threat
ened his life. The third charge is made by
Constable McCIeary, of Glendale, who at
tempted to arrest Luster for threatening
the storekeeper's life, and the prisoner not
only got away from him, but gave him a
body beating.
Mr. Luster seems to be a badly wanted
man, as Secretary Dorente, of the Anti
Cruelty Society, has also entered suit
against Inm before Alderman Uahill lor
felonious assault on a 15-year-old girl
named Dora Lightner, a resident of Alle
gheny. The prisoner was only yesterday released
from the workhouse after serving a SO days'
sentence for disorderly conduct. Luster is
the man who some years ago was sent to
the workhouse for implication in the al
leged stoning and drowning of a man at
Glenfield.

For s Canal iu the Mate of Washington to
Connect It ltb Paget Bound.
Washington, June 16. When the re
port of the conference committee on the
river and harbor bill was under considera
tion in the Senate to-day Mr. Squire madea
forcible speech in favor of an appropriation
of $500,000 to commence the work known as
the Washington Canal, in the State of
Washington, connecting Lake Washington
with Paget Sound. The great benefit that
the canal would confer upon commerce was,
he said, out of all proportion to the amount
of money to be expended. This work, he
asserted, would not only be of immense
value to the great and rapidly growing city
of Seattle, but to the State of Washington,
the entire Pacific coast and the national in
terests of the United States.

cruelty to his 15-year-old daughter Maggie,
and against Mrs. Hilty for cruelty to her 16-year-old
daughter Lydia. Berry lives on
Nineteenth street, and it is alleged he does
not take proper care of his daughter, who Is
afflicted with the St. Vitus dance, and often
abuses her. Mrs. Hilty lives in Garfield,
and it is claimed she abuses her daughter,
drives her out of the house, and often the

A POSTMASTER IN JAIL,
St, Petersburg, June 16. The Com
missioner General of the Russian section of
the Chicago World's Fair, M. Dobroniisky,
Is already on his way to the United States
to select tbe4oction of this section of the
Exposition, He is expected to return to
Russia by the end of Jnly,
Dobronizsky hopes that the "Russian sec
tion of the Fair will he a very brilliant
one, for it already numbers the names of
450 intending exhibitors upon its list.
These Russian exhibitors are from all parts
of the Russian Empire, from St Petersburg
to Moscow, from Central Kussia, the Baltic
Provinces, Poland. Eastern Eussia as far as
Siberia, the Caucasus and Turkestan, and
the majority of them are making
great preparations for the display. They
will be all the more able to do this, as the

the State will defray cost . transportation.
The greater part of thi. Russian ministries
will be represented at the Exposition by
specialists to watch over the distribution of
the objects which the Government depart
ments will send there. M. Dobron
Izsky seemed particularly delighted
witlt the artistic specimens, draw
ings, reliefs and models which the
drawing schools of Stragonow, of Moscow,
and Stleglitz, of St Petersburg, intend to
send to Chicago, as well as with the instruc
tive catalogue or the Russian section, which
will contain abundant information upon
the industrial, commercial and artistic con
dition of the Russian empire.
The Russian Government has already
given 50,000 roubles for the preliminary ex
penses of the organization of the Russian
section, and the Government will have to
spend agreat deal more money in the future,
since at the Philadelphia exposition of 1876
the Russian section cost the Government
400,000 roubles.
At Chicago the Russian section will 'com
prise 12 classes of exhibits, of which that of
manufactured articles promises to be the
most interesting. These classes will be:
Agriculture and horticulture; winemak
log, gardening and kitchen gar
dening; cattle, domestic animals and
game; fish, fishing and pisciculture;
mines, the mining industry and metallurgy:
machinery; means of locomotion: industrial
proteotion; electricity; fine arts; the liberal
arts; ethnology; archeology; and the prog

that the United States was still the best cus

remain. It was only to America, he doclared,
that England could look for an In crease In

There Will Be LoU or Big Warlike Talk at
the Belfast Convention.
Belfast, Jnne 16. For the Ulster
Unionists' Convention which opens in this
city Friday an enormous pavilion has been
erected. Among the papers to be presented
to the convention is one entitled, "Passive
Resistance; or, the Position of Ulster in Cer
tain Contingencies." The writer is himself
a delegate to the convention, but his iden
tity is not revealed. The pamphlet is of
special Interest to America on account of
the parallel the writer constantly draws be
tween the possible situation in Ulster and.
that of America in 1775. He declares that
in me event oi tne estsoitsnment or a sep
arate, Irish, Parliament and an executive,
"We have resolved that we will meet its
laws, its administration and its taxes im
posed, with passive resistance." It will be
necessary for the constituencies of Ulster to
actively ignore the new authority by re
fusing to allow elections to take place.
It is not too much to say besides that It is
not the business of the army to assist in the
auppression of evon actual . resistance
against a colonial Government, and Ireland
would become a colony in the event of home
Tule being granted. There is no Instance
dnnng the present century of the Queen's
army acting against colonial lebels. except
in the case or Canada in 1838, when there
wa not passive resistance, but an open and
warlike movement against the Queen and
her Empire. Geographically, Ulster is better
S laced for the defense of Itself from the
outh than the South Is placed for defense
from Ulster. Our metropolis and principal
port is almost unassailable, while Dublin
conld be laid open to a dlreot and Immedi
ate attack. On tha whole, our merely mili
tary strategical position Is a great deal Better
than tha -strategical position of tne three
Southern provinces.

' ClNCIKlTATr, June 16. A suit with
great possibilities in its outcome was filed
yesterday In the Common Pleas Court by
W. W. Johnson & Co., Rheinstrom & Co.t
and one or two other firms engaged In the
ale of whisky. It is to restrain the Queen
and Crescent and the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad Companies from carrying
into effect the new rates of freight on
whisky to the South,
The complainants allege that the dis
crimination against Cincinnati and in favor
ofNewYorkis so great, that it will ruin
ther whisky trade in the South entirely.
They append a table of rates to various
Southern points, which shows that while
rates from Cincinnati are Increased from
28 per cent at the lowest to 90 per cent at
the highest point those from New York are
increased at a range of only 4J to 7J per
cent
The vital point in the case is the claim
made by the complainant that the corpora
tion holding a franchise as common carrier
cannot delegate to another association the
duty of fixing rates, and that such delega
tion of power is in contravention of inter
State commeroe law. It this point is upheld
by the court it will put an end to the South
ern .Railway and Steamship Association,
which fixed these rates. A. temporary re
straining order was granted.

Londok, June 16. A deputation of
workingmen, representing the various
trades of the metropolis, visited Glad
stone this morning at his residence in
Carlton House Terrace. Their object was
to call his attention to the subject of labor
legislation and the eight-hour law.
Mr, Gladstone said home rule blocked the
way, and even were this not so, the eight
hour question was one he could not deal
with at the present time. He was not pre

the principle in any way. On the eve of a
general election this action might prove ex
ceedingly harmful to the Liberals, had not
Lord Balisbury, on the other side, adopted

HEW GRAIN EXCHANGE OFFICIALS.
Interesting Pacts Presented by President
Berron In His Annual Report.
At the meeting of the newly elected
directors of the Grain Exchange held yes
terday the following officials were elected
to serve for the coming year: George W.
C. Johnston, President; E. B. Mabood,
Vice President; John A. McCracken, Sec
retary; S. R. Patterson, Treasurer, and
Oscar Alexander, Superintendent. The
latter is the only paid official, and by
action of the directors his salary was in
creased $10 per month. '
The retiring President, Mr. James Her
ron, presented a report to the Exchange, in
which he said: "The attendance at our
daily meetings and the interest taken la
th? Exchange is very gratifying and en
couraging. The growing crops do uot look
as prosperous as they did last year, but the
surplus of last year's production will, with
out doubt, make up for the deficiency in
this year's shortage. Although our sales
on public call have not been as large the
Sast year as they have been previous years,
ealers are brought together daily by the
Exchange, and an opportunity is thus
afiorded to each member to gain a knowl
edge of the supply on hand. The member
ship of our Exchange has been diminished
slightly during the year. We have lost by
death Mr. Thomas, McMichael, one of our
old and valued members, and eight other
members who were once with us are no
longer enrolled. As an ofhet, six new
members have been reoelred, so that our
membership Is now within three of what it
was a year ago."
