ENGLAND'S INTEREST
In the Result of American Ejections Not
" So Great as SEany People Imagine An
Knghsh Actor Who Seeks in Tain for
the Spirit of Clannlshness.
E. & Willard, the Enclish actor, arrived
In the citv last night. In speaking of the
recent election he said that although still
an Englishman he had been in America
now three years with a view at some time
in the future cf becomiujj on American
citizen, but he was prone to confess that
he had not yet absolutely mastered the
technique of American politics. He
thought Americans had an exaggerated idea
of the interest manifested in England over
the result of a change of administration in
this country. "While it was true that En
glish manufacturers might in some particu
lar branches be benefited br high or low
tariff, still it could not afiect either way
the general prosperity of the country and
the masse are so engrossed in caring lor
their own Interest' ana so lar removed irom
theceneof American politics that In the
natural order of things they could not
become verv much taken up with matt ei s
other than their own
Speaking for himself, he aid that no one
could have been ieceicd with more cordial
lelations tLan had been extended him bv
the people of this country, and he had
sought in vain foi t' e clannlshness which he
had been told exlstcu among the people.
Not only had thev extended him hospitality
in Its warniext form, but they had given
him most substanti.il evidence of their
friendliness by greetings treble in form, so
Jar as numbers weie concerned, wherever
lie returned. "Take for instance," he said,
"your own citj of Titt-hurg. I came among
von a stranger onls a season asro, and tho
liearty welcome ot tho flist visit a, if
possible, made more enthusiastic when I
came again a few nceks later. Since my
last viit heie I have leceived numerous
lettcis fioni 1'ittsburgeis, who have spoken
to me in the kindest terms and extended
mot emphatic imitations for personal
irtetinc. This cannot but be gratifying to
nnj stranger, particularly one in public
business. Nowhere do I look forward in
tnv annual visits with more plesuie than to

SNYDER'STWOWIVES
Tliey Cause Many' Curious
Complications and One
Lands Him in Jail
IN A PECULIAE POSITION.
Be Must Leave the Conntry With One
to Get Ont of Prison, But
THE OTHER IS HIS PREFERENCE.
By tho EeconaWife He Has Children, "With.
the First a Fortune.
A LIVELY EOMANCE OF IWO CONTINEN TS
Cupid plays many pranks but it is seldom
he displays such a wicked disposition as he
has with Henry Snvder, who is a prisoner
in the county jail on account of him. Sny
der has two wives. He loves them both
and could probably be happy with either if
the other was safely out of the way. His
position is such, however, that to live with
one he must pay the other $5 a week for an
indefinite period. If he would cling to the
other ho must accompany her to their
native home in Germany. His friends are
trying to fix up a compromise of some kind
to get him out of jail, but his first wife on
Saturday entered another charge against
him which has complicated the situation
desperately.
The story of Snyder's matrimonial mis
adventures as told by his friends is inter
esting. Ho does not claim to be blameless,
but is nearly crazy to know what would be
the best thing to da
Where Bis Troubles Began.
Snyder is a cabinetmaker. He was born
in Kreis Rhinebeck, Xeikershem, Ger
many. His father was well-to-do andhad
taught Henry the business which had been
followed by his ancestors for generations.
Iu the same town lived Mary Byrer, daugh
ter of a contractor and builder, who was also
well-to-do. Snyder was 24 and Miss Byrer
IS. They had grown up together and be
came engaged as naturally as doves
mate. "When they were married
old Mr. Byrer built them a neat little cot
tage of many windows with small panes,
vines growing over it, and with a bay win
dow on the second floor overlooking a bend
in the main street of the village. The
home was neatly and cosily furnished by
the parents of the couple and Mr. Byrer in
giving tbem possession said it should be
theirs as soon as they presented him with
a grandson which must be named after
him.
This was 12 years ago. Two years rolled
around and the grandson had not arrived.
A great many of Snyder's companions had
come to America to make their fortunes
and from the letters they sent home he be
came infected with the "America fever."
His young wife refused to separate from
her old father and Snyder finally deter
mined to come to the .New World alone.
He settled at once in Allegheny. For two
years, it is claimed, he corresponded affec
tionately with his wife, and as he was pros
pering, was able f send her freaueut re
mittances. He frequently begged her to
come over, bnt she always declined.
The Green-Eyed Monster Appears.
One dav a friend, who had just arrived
from Neikershem, informed Snyder that
Henry Shot, an old schoolmate of his, was
paying assiduous attentions to Mrs. Snyder
and. was being encouraged. Snyder's first
impulse was to return and wreck vengeance
on Sboi. Later ho changed his mind and de
cided to forget her. Their correspondence
ceased. Snyder was working In a coffin
works In the lower end of Allegheny.
About a j ear after the news of his wire's
supposed faithlessness Snyder met and fell
in love with Johanna Bullergbam, a pretty
Allegheny girt. He was a handsome, Intel
ligent fellow, making good wages, and iliss
Bullcrgham, not knowing of his previous
marriage, accepted him. They were mar
lied at once. Four children were born to
them, two of whom are living, tho eldest be
ing G years old and the other 18 months.
Snyder bought a neat little home in Wood's
Hun. just off SicCluro avenue, and was as
happv as could be. He Joined a building and
loan "association, saved his money, and the
house is nearly all paid for. He had never
told his second wife of his previous mar
riage. On August 27 last a tall, dignified lady,
clad in mourning and unable to speak Eng
lish, called at Snyder's house and ii.quiied
for him. When told he was not at home, the
visitor Inquired for Mrs. Snvder. It was de
veloped that tho two Mrs. Snyders were
face to face. The original endeavored to
explain, but the second wife Indignantly re
fused to listen.
Snyder Goes to Jail.
Finding explanation useless Mrs. Snyder
went to her husband's shop and demanded
that he give up his second wile. On his re
fusal she went before Alderman McMasters
and entered suit against him for desertion.
He was taken into court ordered to pay his
first wife $5 a week. Being unable to secure
the necessarv bondsman Snyder was sent to
Jail on September 17, and has temalneu
there ever since. His first wife was not
anxious to have him locked np, preferring
to return to Germany and take him with
her. Knowiug after her first meeting with
him of his great love for his second wife and
fearing that he mteht secure a bond and get
out of jail, she on Saturday entered another
charge airainst him.
The original Mrs. Snyder is a. well-preserved,
splendid looking German woman,
and her love for Snyder has lived through
all these years. She indignantly denies tho
story of her relations with Shot, declaring
it was a fiction started by her enemies. Her
father died recently, leaving her all his
wealth, and she is willing to take her hus
band back.'with his two children, and for
get the past if he will go. Snyder has been
unable to bring himself to the point of ac
cepting his wife's ultimatum. He grieves
greatly that he did not tell his second w if e all
about It. He loves ber atarly, he cays, and
is heart-broKen over his separation Irom
her. She does not Dlame him and frequently
calls to see him at the Jail. What tue out
come of the strange case will-be cannot now
be conjectured, but it is likely something
will be done at the hearing before Alderman
McMasters on Wednesday.
HAD ITS EFFECT.
An Address by John Moore Touches Soma
of His Hearers.
John J. Moore, the reformed sporting
man, gave an address at the Open Door
Mission Sunday night. His lesson was taken
from the fourth chapter of Mark. He spoke
on tho subject for nearly an hour, when he
asked those who wished to lead a new life to
raise their hands. Some 16 men did so and
knelt down in prayer.
One man gavo up a bottle filled with
whisky, while another ga e over a prescrip
tion for a bottle of whisky that a doctor
gave him to be filled at a drugstore. Mr.
Moore claims that no man can give up
drunkenness without ho gives up his im
moral habits and asks God to give him
power to overcome it.

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
TO
BE ISSUED BY THE INDTJSTBIAIi
LEAGUE.
Criticising the Management of Municipal
and County Affairs Candidates Favor
able to the Labor Cause to Bo Sup
portedOrganizing Wage -Earners'
Clubs.
The Industrial Alliance held a large
meeting in Odd Fellows' Hall, Southside,
yesterday afternoon. The Executive Com
mittee reported that a number of wage
earners' clubs were being organized in
different wards throughout the city. There
was already one club in the Twenty-ninth
ward with a membership of over 200. Two
clubs hare already been formed in Alle
gheny, and the Alliance yesterday author
ized the formation of another. The two
secretaries will hereafter be paid a salary.
The Alliance now has representatives in
Lawrence, Butler, "Washington and Alle
gheny counties.
Although there was no regular motion
passed, it was generally understood that
the Alliance would not put any regular
ticket in the field, but that the object
would be to indorse whatever candidates
were favorable to the working classes.
Quite a number of speeches were made in
support of this policy and warning the
members to beware of politicians and their
tricks.
The following address, offered by the
Executive Committee, was unanimously
adopted:
To the Workmen and Citizens In General of Alle
gheny County:
Tellow Citizens During the past 25 years
the professional politicians and partisan or
gans of this country have been appealing to
the sympathies, tho passions and the preju
dices of our working people for the sole pur
pose of fostering and maintaining one of the
most villainous city and county rings that
ever existed within the boundaries of our
American Republic.
Sweeping Charges or Corruption.
Our community Is now cursed by the domi
nation of a greedy horde of insatiablo office
seekers, arrogant bosses and unprincipled
political heelers. Corruption dominates
every department of our countyandmunici
pal government, and even touohes the er
mine or not a few or our county Judges. The
masses are demoralized, the voters
are no longer consulted as to their
choice in nominating and electing
public officeis, and a seleet clique
of autocratic bosses now dictates nomina
tions for the various offices within the gift
of the people. The great debt hanging over
tne citizens or i"ittsunrg and Allegneny
like a pall of death is only one of the results
or misrule and corrupt political methods of
unscrupulous boodlers
To change these conditions is the patriotic
duty of every citizen. With these ends in
view we hereby pi esent this appeal for your
assistance, and, with the hope of securing
the co-operation and direction of all tho
great labor, industrial, social and reform
organizations existing within this county,
we hereby submit to tne citizens the ob
jects sought to be accomplished by our Alli
ance, and call upon all who believe in secur
ing the greatest good to tho greatest num
ber to assist us:
Objects Sought to Be Secured.
First The encouragement and formation
of vigilance committees in every election
piecinct of Allegheny county.
Second The organization of branches of
this Alliance in every precinct, each branch
to be represented by delegates to the Citi
zens' Industrial Alliance at all its sessions.
Thlid To provide a means whereby all
workingmen, organized and unorganized,
can be united together for the purposes of
co-oneration. protection and support in all
practical measures affecting their separate
and combined interests.
Fourth The repeal of all laws that do not
bear equally upon capital and labor and the
adoption of stringent legal measures pro
viding for health and safety of all wage
workers. The above form is but a hasty and Imper
fect summary of aims and objects to be
achieved uy our Alliance. We appeal to you
to give prompt consideration to the impor
tance ot ourgreat cause. Consider it well and
deeply, and vou cannot fail to realize what
an endless train of blessings to our commu
nity the Alliance can place within easy
innze of possibility.
It w as decided to have a number of these
appeals printed and sent to every working
man in the county. The Executive Commit
tee also reported that they were making
preparations for a grand mass meeting, to
be held in the Grand Opera House in the near
future. The Alliance will meet again in two
weeks.
HIS EYES BLOWN OUT.
Willie Tayne the Victim of
Cannon
Cracker In the Parade.
Willie, the 7-year old son of Frank Payne,
of 24 Forsythe street, Allegheny, met with
an accident on Saturday night which will
probably make him blind for life. A wheel
bai row election bet was being paid by a Man
chester Republican, and a number of young
Democrats were helping celebrate the event
with i ed fire, cannon crackers, skyrockets,
etc. Just as the procession passed Mr.
Payne's house some one lighted the fuse
of a huge cannon cracker and throw
it into the street. The fuse did not burn
quickly, and the boy, supposing that the
lose was out, ran out and picked up the
cracker. Just as he did so the cracker went
off, teaiing the little fellow's hand and face
terribly and burning his eyes so badly that
it is feared he will lose his sight en tirelv.
His hair was badly singed and bis eyebrows
burned entirely off.
The little fellow bore the ordeal bravely
and asked to be taken home. Dr. Reddick
was called and attended to the injuries. The
doctor said last night there was little hope
of the boy ever being able to see again.
FBEDICTS AN INDIAN WAE.
Sergeant Lipplncott Says the Cheycnnes
and Arrapahoes Are Mad.
Thomas Lipplncott, Sergeant of the Thir
teenth United States Infantry, stationed at
Fort Supply, I. T., is registered at the Schlos
scr. He came here to attend the Masonic
conclave that begins to-morrow. Mr. Lip
plncott recently returned from a tour of
the Cheyenne and Arrapahoe country
and he predicts an uprising among the
two tribes beloro the winter is over. Rations
have been cut off from the reds to force
tbem to send their children to the Govern
ment schools. The Indians can't live, and
hunger is sure to drive them to marauding
and murder. Sergeant Lipplncott, after an
experience of 12 jeais with tho savnsres,
thinks that education is a 1 allure. He claims
that, with a few exceptions, the hoys turned
out of the Carlisle schools are decent as long
as their new suits of clothes last, but when
they nre worn out they go back to the
brrech clout and blanket.
The Government intends to open np
another section of the Cberokeo strip in a
short time. Mr. Lipplncott nas present at
tho Oklahoma rush, and ho expects another
wild stampede of settlers for tho new laud.

EATEN BY GAHHIBAL&
Sad Fate of a White Missionary
Recently on the Fiji Islands.
HIS NAME AND CHURCH UNKNOWN.
The Thrilling' Experience of Ovide Husin
With thp Natives.
SAW THE BODI EE1DT FOE THE FEAST
B. E. Johnston, manager of Ovide Slusin,
the violinist, was in Pittsburg yesterday
arranging for a concert to be given here in
January. He has just come back from a
tour of Australia and New Zealand. The
company landed in San Francisco abont a
week ago. Mnsin went to Detroit and
Mr. Johnston came to this city.
He relates a. thrilling experience that
Musin and he had in the Fiji Islands about
three weeks since. She story concerns the
fate of a white missionary, and may lead to
his identification. Mr. Johnston was so
badly frightened that he hadn't time or the
opportunity to learn the name of the victim
or the denomination to which he belonged.
The blood-thirsty and vicious natives had
killed him, boiled the body and were pre
paring to eat it when two white men inter
rupted the feast. Mr, Johnston tells the
story as follows:
"Musin had completed his tour of Aus
tralia and New Zealand and had started for
home in the Mallapoosa, one of the steamers
used by Claus Spreckles in the South
Sea sugar trade. We met with great suc
cess and made lots of money in New Zea
land, where the natives are magnificent
specimens of physical development and
rather intelligent.
Appreciated High-Class Music
"They are very fond of music, and all of
Mucin's efforts were appreciated. On board
the ship the violinist became very popular
with the crew. He amused the sailors by
giving concerts frequently for their benefit.
After wo had been out about five days' sail
from Auckland, we stopped at a coaling
station on the Fiji Islands. Musin ex
pressed a desire to see a little of the coun
try, and Captain Haywood consented to
wait six hours for him. I agreed to go, and
together wo set out from tho shore, having
no idea of the people or their mode of
living.
"We had gone into the Interior about two
miles when suddenly we came upon a scene
that curdled mv blood and made my hair
stand on end. Musin was as badly scared as
myself. We encountered a village, and the
natives were gathered with the king to eat
the bodv of a white man. The ruler was
seated in the center and the cannibals were
arranged around him. Tho victim was
lying on the ground in plain view. The body
had been boiled in a large pot and the tlio
was still burning briskly under it. It was
evident that they bad Just taken it out and
were preparing to eat it.
A Very Tougb-Looklng Monarch.
"The King was a hideous looking object.
His lace was marked with black streaks
that ran from the nose across the cheeks to
the ears. At the first glance I thought they
were painted, but I soon saw that the
brands had been seared into the flesh with a
red-hot ii on. The cannibals were a cutious
sight. The older people woie tig leaves or
clouis aiound the hips, but tho younger
ones, both male and letuale, wore naked.
They were so busily engaged that they
did not notice us for a time, and we were too
badly frightened to move for a moment.
Musin had a kodak and his first exclamation
was: 'My God. 1 wonder if we can get back
to the ship alive.' He inanauod to control
his nerves long enough to take a snap-shot
of the picture and to seoure a separate pho
tograph ot the villainous-looking King. He
now has them in pioof and is showing them
to his Inonds.
"In our exposed position, of course, we
were quickly discoveied, and the ruler and
his people stopped and staled at us like
wild animals interrupted In their feast. In
voluntarily wo took to our heels, and ran
tor the vessel. I didn't stop to look back,
and at every step I thought I heard the
lapid breathing of the savages hot in pur
suit. 1 never legged it so rapidly in my iife,
and we landed on the shore ready to drop
from exhaustion.
Mrs. Musin Went Into Hysterics.
"In the meantime Captain Haywood told
Mrs. Musin a little about the island and the
blooa-thlrsty character of the people. She
became alarmed at the prolonged absence
or her husband and went into hysterics. It
took several days ot careful treatment be
fore she got over the scare.
"The captain did not seem surprised
when he saw us returning to the vessel on
the run. Ho suspected what we had seen
and was not very much affected. Appa
rently he had become accustomed to such
scenes. He ndmitted that he was worried
alter we had started, and he was
on the point of sending out some
of his men to search for us when
he saw us coming back. He explained that
solar as he knew the natives would not
harm traders or travelers, but they had an
inveterate hatred of missionaries who tried
to convert them and turn their minds from
error and darkness. He had often advised
missionaries not to lana tnere. as they weie
sure to be boiled and eaten like the poor
man we bad Just seen. I can't remember
the name of the station on the island, but I
never want to have such a terrible experi
ence again."
WAS A BUSY SPEAK-EASY.
The Police Scooped It and Captured a Num
ber of Visitors.
Lieutenant Gallant and Officers Hilde
breth, Metagar and Lud-nlg broko up one ot
the most notorious speak-easies on the hill
j esterday morning. The succeeded in cap
turing tho pi oprietors and 11 visitors. The
speak-easy was located in an old frame house
on the side of the hill above Fifth avenue,
near Gist stieet. The rooms were formerly
occupied by an organization khown as the
Gas City Cluu. The present proprietors
and frequenters of the place have been
watched by the police for sorao weeks.
Yesterdiy. whon the raid wns made, the
house was filled with men, but over half of

CONFESSED A MURDER.
STRANGE
STORY TOLD BT A IOTJNO
FRENCHMAN.
Captured by Fleet Farmers Jumped Over
a Stove to Escape From a Village Store
Jailed on a Peculiar Commitment
Charged With Several Offenses.
A handsome, well-proportfoned young
Frenchman was arrested out in MeCandless
township Saturday n'ght on inspicion of
murdering a woman and of having com
mitted a conple of robberies which occurred
there the previous night Yesterday he
was placed in jail Justice of the Peace
Kroeger, in making ont the commitment,
failed to insert the prisoner's name, the
charge on tho document being indefinitely
stated as "suspicious character, which there
has been a robbery, also said man has con
fessed cf committing a murder."
Warden McAleese refused to receive the
commitment until properly filled out with
the name of the prisoner.bnt when he heard
of the trials the constable had undergone to
get the Frenchman to jail he relented. The
prisoner politely wrote his name, Coucheoy
Constant, ou the commitment himself and
was then locked up.
Verging Upon Delirium Tremens.
Constant is either a lunatio or is recover
ing from an attack of delirium tremens, ac
cording to the jail officials, who know all
the symptoms well, and they think his con
fession about having murdered a woman is
the imagination of a disordered brain. All
delirium tremens subjects imagine they
have killed people.
The fellow was noticed about MeCandless
township several days ago, wandering aim
lessly about. He was well dressed, cleanly
in appearance and conductod himself with
propriety, except that he was several times
found sleeping under the corn shocks in
Farmer Joseph Rltchey's fields. On Friday
night two houses were burglarized in the
township.
Suspicion attached to no one in particular
until Saturday night. There was n turkey
raffle in one ot the village stores that even
ing to which tho male population turned out
strong. Pending the time the proprietor
got through with his customers the men sat
around the stove in the rear of the storo
telling stories and gossiping. Constant was
there.sittlng back in the corner. Hecouldn't
talk a word or .nciian, and tne conversation
did not Interest him.but the room was warm
and he evidently made up bis mind to stand
it as long as possible.
Jumped Over the Stove and Fled.
Suddenly his patience seemed to leave
him. He stood np, glared wildly at those
around him and shuffled to get out. The
farmers wero packed around so close he
couldn't get out except byjumplng over the
stove. It was a big J urap, but the French
man was equal to it. He made the leap and
had reached the door before the faimers
realized what had happened. With a cry of
"Vivo la Francaisel" he dashed down the
road into the darkness.
Without knowing why tho farmers fol
lowed and captuted him a mile or more
away. Some real or fancied evidence was
brought forth to show that he was the rob
ber. Constant was frightened. A French
man to whom he talked said Constant had
confessed to killing a woman. No details
were given, but that was enough. The farm
ers were satisfied they had a desperate
character. Two of them were placed on
watch over him and kept him all night in a
room in the constable's house and yester
day he was brought to Jail.
A plate glass cutter's tools were .found in
his pockets and it is believed at the jail that,
Constant came from either Creighton or
Ford City. The commitment against him
is indefinite and unless a new one is pro
duced the prisoner will be released in a day
or two.
Raided a Speak-Easy.
Tho speak-easy of Mrs. Ann Thompson, on
Short street, Soho, was pulled at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. The proprietress and
five male vistors were arrested and locked
up in the Fourteenth ward station house.
About six kegs of beer and a quantity of
whisky were confiscated. The visitors ar
rested were Mike Gill, William Dorris, Peter
Cussidy, Thomas Catroll and Charles Cham
bers. Lieutenant Cramer, Detective Bendol
and Officers Hnban, Creban and Hanley
made the arrests.
A Reading Circle's Anniversary.
The Independent Reading Circle, of the

B0TSPUT0TJT FOE SINGING BOOMVDE-AT
Lafayette Hall was a barracks yesterday
and the Salvation Army was in command.
Major Halz, Ensign Heald, Captain "White
and a score of lower officers and privates
were on guard. In ome ways the army
discipline was lived up to, but in othsrs a
few conrt martials would have been a
benefit
The Pittsburg division of General Booth's
great army started its jollification yester
day afternoon with a street parade. The
column was finally drawn np in front of the
barracks and marched in. Two red-shirted
sentries took positions at the Wood street
entrance. The pass word there was a hand
shake or a hearty "God bleu you." Those
who thought they were safe within the
guard lines were mistaken. A double
row of pickets was posted yesterday.
At the second landing a private stood, an
archistic was his attire, bnt appealing his
look. He was armed with a tambourine,
and the countersign for his post was a sil
ver offering. For a time the visitor was
safe and allowed to take a seat. A flaming
bulletin on the outside of the building told
the exercises of the day. The drawing card
was the presence of the "ex-jail birds," as
the poster told it
The Barracks Filled "With Music
The pit and first gallery of the barracks
were well filled, when Ensign Heald
stepped to the front of the stage and started
an old army song. The other officers and
privates helped him along while the au
dience joined in. The big building rang
with the muslo of half a thousand voices,
while the tambourine, horn and drum added
strength to the melody.
After a few of these skirmishes, stronger
battle lines wero drawn. Ensign Heald
opened fire, and the first topic he touched
on was the arrest of the Army last Sunday
nigni uy tne rmtauig ponce. "X am giau
were arrestee.," saiu. ne.
'for we wore
working for our God. Tho
police didn't
mean to be unkind, I think. They did not
know, but in the future they will be more
considerate. We were haonv when con
fined in prison cells, and if it need be we
would go to jail again. The Salvation Army
is a great principle and I am glad I belong
to the nilncinle. Aren't vou brother?" he
said pointing to a private at the end of the
stage.
The End Plays His Part.
"I am, I am," said the end man.
"Ours is a glorious army," he continued.
Turning to his comrades he said. "Here are
numerous men and women who did not
know what religion was until they enlisted.
They did everything that was bad, but now
they are true and noble. They pay their
grocery bills and rent every month."
Switching from this phase or religion the
ensign grew reminiscent. He comes from
Omaha.and before he Joined the Army was a
real estate man. Kven the profits of
Nebraska land deals wonld not let him resist
the cry or Booth's troopers, so he enlisted, lor
life he says. He ami his squad havo fur
nished Omaha with moral protection for a
number or years, and one of the stories he
tells is about "Omaha Jim." It took months
of earnest work beiore they got this son of
Nebraska to wear the red garments of the
organization. A gentle, pleading woman
finally won him into the ranks.
"Before 'Jim enlisted," said Ensign Heald,
"he was a great fellow to go out with the
boys and get drunk. He was a business
man, but his love for the Army wns above
all else, and he alwa swore the uniform of
a private. 'Jim' often stops on the street
and shouts 'Halleluiah. Hailelulahl' with
the same fervor he used to cheer when the
Democratic party was victorious."
Grovel's Praises Are Sung.
Hardly had these words been uttered
when a crowd or boys started "Grover,
Grover, four years more of dear old Gro
ver." This caused quite an excitement and
order was restored with considerable diffi
culty. Captain White for a few moments dwelt
on the pleasures be bad derived from the
ride in the patrol wagon last Sunday night.
He was willing to be a martyr again.
A man who had the appearance of having
been n drummer before ne became a private,
told his experience and sang a song. In
closing he changed a passage- of scripture to
maKe it nt tne case or tne soldiers when
they were arrested. This is it: "Blessed
are tho prosecuted, for their's Is the king
dom of heaven."
"We have with us a good old German
soldier." snld Ensign Heald. "He will talk
next." The old fellow was so excited by hU be
ing a member of the Army that lie acted very
much lice a comedian, lie actually danced
a clog, while he shouted "Hallelujah! Halle
lujah!" Ensign Heald had to stop him.
"People go crazy over religion sometimes,
Just as they are doing over the election of
Cleveland now," said he. "I think we got
till German from the Methodists."
A lady private, whose work it is to sell
War Crj, was greatly worried over the
drunkenness she saw on the stieets Satur

day night. Her wish was that the people
would take as much interest in religion aa
they did in Democracy.only that they would
do it tn another way. 1
The meoting last night) was similar to that
in the afternoon. The only thing irregular
was the interference of I some voung hood

Shower of Stars "W1H i Likely Fall To-
Nlght From the Constellation Leo How
One Community Failed to See the Last
Display.
Prof. Heeler, of the Observatory, said yes
terday that he had not noticed any display
of meteors, but there might be a display on
Monday night They generally fall from
tho 12th to the Kth, but this being leap year
it might be a day or two later. The shooting
ttars are called Leonidcs, because they ap
pear to come from the constellation of Leo,
which, in traveling in its orbit around the
sun, crosses the earth's path every 33 years,
when in this conjunction the meteors be
come visible from the earth, although they
very seldom reach It, being so small that the
friction burns them up.
The last November shower occurred in
1866. A good story is told in connection
with it. The display was expected on the
night of November 12, and the watchman at
tho SHgo Iron Works on the Soutbsldo was
notified to ring the mill bell when the stars
commenced falling to awaken the people so
they could witness the phenomenon. It did
not occur on that night, however, but the
following night. The watchman failed to
ring the bell, and when asked for an expla
nation said: "Oh, Is that why yon wanted
the neighborhood wakened up?"
"Meteors have alsogotten into the courts,"
said the processor. "Out In Iowa an aereollte
fell from the sky and was Imbedded in the
earth three feet. A man who saw it fall dug
it up and the owner or the property sued
the finder. The lower conrt found In favor
of the owner or the ground and the Supreme
Court affirmed the verdict. Prof. Langley
jocosely mentions the circumstance in his
new book that meteors flying wildly about
and landing promiscuously conld not be
classed as wild game and therefore not the
property of the finder."
PBESS CLUB BENEFIT.
The Duqnesne Will Be Elegantly Decorated

Ono of the many unique features in con
nection with the Press Club benefit will be
the floral decorations of the theater. Two
of the leading florists of Pittsburg have
volunteered to give the Duquesne an ap
pearance suoh as no theater ever had be
fore. Choice palms and tropical plants en
twined with the finest roses will help to
make the atmosphere more than usually
refreshing. The musical programme will
be very much of a leading feature. Every
orchestra playing in the various thentors
will be present and will render individual
and combined programmes.
Several other novelties in the way of en
tertainment have Just been added to the big
bill, and will conduce more than ordinarily
