There are going the rounds a number of very relishable stories relating to Frederick Douglass, who, though very sensitive on the subject of distinc tion drawn between negroes and mu lattoes to the disparagement of the for mer, was always ready to crack a joke on his own color. lie often laughed over a witticism of Mrs. Fred. Grant's at his expense when they met at the Chicago convention of 1888. "The con vention had been in session several days, and there had been some ballot ing the day before," he said, relating the story to a friend. "I was sitting with Mrs. Grant and her party watch ing the balloting. To my surprise one vote was east for mo for president of the United States. It bad no sooner been announced by the tellers than Mrs. Grant turned to me and with the most charming smile imaginable said: 'You must be the dark horse of this convention, Mr. Douglass.'" At a meet ing of the Free Religionists in Boston some years ago he was among tho speakers. Referring to the rulo of the assembly which limited the tirno of speeches, ho said he never made a short speech that ho was satisfied with, and never a long one that anybody else was satisfied with. "I came here," said lie, "not to speak but to listen, to learn, not to teach; in fact," he added, "I came here merely to give color to the occasion." Justified Deception. An original application of photog raphy to astronomy was lately re ported by Sir Robert Ball. One even ing, says a contemporary, Sir Robert t->aw a peripatetic exhibitor of a tele scope inviting the public to look at tho moon, and, possibly out of sympathy with a brother astronomer, he paid his lialf-penny, and was gratified by seeing a capital view of a full moon. The only drawback was that at tho time only half a moon was shining, the satellite being in the second quarter. On examining tho supposed telescope he found it was simply a tube with a hole at one end for an eye-piece and a photographic transparency of a full moon with a light behind it at tho other. Tho man justified the deception on the ground that the public liked to have full value for their money. That man may not know very much about the heavenly bodies, but he is evident ly well acquainted with bodies of ar earthly character. The Penalty of Carelessness. A resident of Pennsylvania tells a story that furnishes a warning against the indiscriminate use of the brushes about the house by persons who liuve been vaccinated. It seems, says tho Philadelphia Record, that several mem bers of a family in the town of which the man is a resident had been vaccin ated, and the itchy feeling that fol lows the success of the operation prompted the free tiso of tho hair brush to secure relief. In good season the selfsame hair brush was used by a young man of tho family to obliterate an uncomfortable feeling on his back. A few days later a doctor was called in to attend a supposed case of small pox, which turned out to be nothing more than a very good case of vaccina tion covering every portion of the back of the man who had used tho brush after it had served the purpose for which it was employed by the younger member of the family, who had been vaccinated in tho regular way.

It Will Come Up for Final Fansage In the House on Wednesday—How the Greater Pittsburg Bills Were Corrected and Pushed Through Both Houses. (Special Correspondence.) HARRISDURQ, May 18.—The legislature Is getting ready to udjourn. Bills are bo lng rushed through both bodies with un precedented haste. Speaker Walton wants to get away the latter part of next week. Ho inststs that the calendars can be cleared by that time if the houso will keep right at work. Mr. Walton's belief Is not shared by his older and more experienced colleagues. They say it Is absolutely Im possible to adjouru finally bofore the first week of Juuo. If it should be decided to quit business at that time many of tho bills on tho caleudars v/ill have to bo dropped. There is much to do from now until the close of the session. The apportionment and appropriation bills have not yet been considorod. At this evening's session of the house a calendar of forty-eight ap propriation bills will be road for tho first time. The senate apportionment committee hits not yet reported out any bills. The house committee still has up wards of 150 on hand, which will be hold back until those now on tho calondar are well advanced. May Extend the Session into Juno. The apportionment bills are noar the bottom of the calendars. They will prob ably bo taken up on special orders and passed with tho understanding that they will ho sent to a conference committee for amondment. Many of the appropriation hills will also go to a conference commit tee. This will cause much delay, and may oxtend tho session far into June. Governor Hastings is insisting upon a now appor tionment, hut the members whoso dis tricts aro udvorsoly affected by tho bills now under consideration aro kicking and will fight hard to prevent their passage. The houso judicial apportionment bill, aftor having been hung up In tho senate committee for more than a month, was amondod and then reported out. It will he considered this wouk in tho senate on second reading. Tho congressional, legis lative and senatorial apportionment bills aro not satisfactory to a majority of the members of both bodies, and are suro to he amended before they reach third road iug. Tho rcvenuo bill framed by tho stato tax conference will bo considered on third reading tomorrow in tho house. On Wed nesday tho bill creating tho county of Quay will bo called up in tho houso for final passage. Its friends are confident that they have onough votes to put it through this stage. On Tuesday evening tho op ponent of the Porter school bill will bo given a hearing by the house municipal corporations committeo. The School Appropriation Bills. During the week tho advocutos of the various bills for the distribution of the Bchool appropriation will have a confer once to try to agree on a moasure satisfac tory to all parties. The grangers aro will ing to ugroo to a bill giving each school 150 and distributing the balance of the ap propriation on tho basis of tho number of taxubles, as at present. By this plan Philadelphia would roooivo about $50,000 less than its present share of tho appro priation. The appellate court bill will bo called up this week iu the house for third reudiug and final passage by Represontativo Kun kel of this city. Many other postponed bills will bo called up during tho woek by tholr sponsors through fear the rules com mittoo will decide at its next mocting to drop all such moasures from its caloudur. Governor Hastings is disposing of the bills as fast as they roach him. He has very few under consideration. Among them is the Farr compulsory education bill, which will probably he signod tomor row, along with tho othor bills not yet actod upon. On Wednesday a meeting of tho board of pardons will ho hold for tho consideration of a number of cases which huvo been pending for sovoral months. Hushing the "Greater Pittsburg" Bills. A feat in legislation which has probably novor boon equaled before was accom plished on Wednesday afternoon last by those two tireless Pittsburgors, Chris Ma gee and Senator "Billy" Flinn. Tho throo bills which were rcquirod to make tho "grcator Pittsburg" a possibility wore In tho governor's hands, but at the last mo ment a flaw was discovered in one of them. It was moroly technical, but tho bill could not become a law until it was corrected, and tho two big hustlers were anxious to have everything completed before the evening of the same day, when the pas sago of the bills was to be celebrated with a mammoth banquet to tho members of the legislature and others. The amount of red tape would have dis couraged almost anybody else. First a joint resolution was passed by both tho sonato and the houso recalling the bill from the governor. As the govornor had to sign the resolution, the senate took a recess for an hour. At tho end of that time Private Secretary Beitler appeared with tho an nouncement that the resolution had boon approved, and returned the bill. It was then umondod, but unothor recess of the senato was necessary to permit the bill to 1 he printed. At 5 o'clock the senate again ' reconvened, passed the bill finally, and it ' then had to go to the houso for concur rence. It was then cngrossod, and just at ' 7 o'clock, as tho members were takiug their : places at tho banqueting hoard, Governor " Hastings affixed his signature to tho bill, 1 which practically assures tho formation of ' the wostorn Pennsylvania metropolis. Mr. McGaughey's Sarcasm. ' After tho resolution of Mr. Focht, of Union county, on tho Nicaraguan ques tion, and the resolution of sympathy with Cuban revolutionists had passed the house on Thursday evening Representative Mc r Gauglioy introduced the following: [ Whereas, Cuba is now engaged in an [ unequal contest for liberty, and, wheroas, tho fool killor is still at largo; therefore, bo it Resolved, That the legislature of Penn sylvania enlist with tho Cuban patriots In a body. Bofore the resolution could be Intro duced, however, tho time for original reso lutions had passed, and it had to be held over until this woek. During the summer weather of last weok considerable difficulty was experi enced in opening and closing the upper windows in the house, no provision for handling them having been made when the alterations were made In the build lug. The rulo has boon to arrango them when the house was not in session, using for that purpose u big ladder on the in- Bido. On Thursday evening it beeainu necessary to close them while the house was in session, and, as the ladder could not bo used from the Inside, Speaker Walton notilled the lire department to send a truck around for the purpose, and as tho machine dashed up the hill and the big ladders were raised in front of tho building tho news quickly spread that tho Capitol was on fire. Tho firomen had some difficulty in explaining the situation, and it was several hours before the oxcite mont subsided, and the last "Whore's tho flrof" had been asked and answered. Speaker Walton's Gallery of Celebrities. Tho resolution introduced by Represent ative Pomoroy for a gallery of the por traits of all tho speakers of the house re calls the fact that Speaker Walton has one of tho best collections of portraits of dis tinguished men in the country. Ho has been gathering it for years, and the col lection now numbers over 500, among them being paintings of representative men of all nations and all ages. Ho has practically a complete et of tho sover eigns of England, Spain and other coun tries, besides men who have distinguished themselves in particular w.djjs of life. His collection of American statesmen and celebrities is very complete. The house was responsible for a mild sensation in tho senate on Wednesday. The constitution provides that neithor house can adjourn for more than throe days without tho consent of tho other. Tho necessary consent has, however, never heretofore been refused. On Wednesday the senate, having run out of work, de ckled to udjourn over until Tuesday afternoon, but to the horror of tho grave and difinlfied body tho houso refused to give its consent. Subsequently,however, the house reconsidered and allowed the senators to go homo. Three Night Sessions Weekly. Tho first attempt of the houso to hold night sessions was a dismal failure, but with the present woek tkoy will begin in earnest the now order of business being us follows: Monday evening sossion, bills on first reading; local and special hills on third reading and final passage. Tuesday morning, afternoon and evening, revenue hills on second muling; revenue bills on third reading and final pussugo; house hills on third reading and finul passage.

There is quite a delegation of news paper editors and publishers in tho legis lature, and on Tuesday evening they gave a banquet to tho Legislative Correspon dents' association at the Bolton House. Covors were laid for sixty, and Represen tative Smith, of Bedford, tho chairman of the committee of arrangements, presided. Speeches were made by Representative Pomoroy, tho prosidont of tho Editors' and Publishers' association; Senator Brewer, Colonel Henry Hall, Representa tives Fow, Salinger, Gould, Parcels and others.

IIAZLKTQN, Pa., May 13.—Whileat work In tho Catholic cometory at Iloavor Meadow, Cor mac McGroary and Martin Mulligan camo unexpectedly across a small store box containing the body of a male child übout 8 months old. An offort had been made to concoul the box in tho underbrush. Last Tuesday evening a car riage was seon to stop before tho grave yard, and a woman alighted carrying a bundle.

Con vention at Springfield. Representatives of Eleven Different Conn tries Address an Audience of 2,000 Each Hpoaker Closed by Repeating in His Own Tongue the Words "Jesus Christ." Springfield, Mass., May 13. Tho Young Men's Christian association con vention closed last evening with a re markable parliament of nations at which representatives from eleven different countries addressed an audience of 2,000 people. The international committee could hardly have devised a more effec tive method of exhibiting tho scope of their work. W. 11. Roberts spoke for the work in England and showed the great growth that the Y. M. C. A. has had in the west ern part of the country in the last few years. He was followed by W. A. Boyd of Ireland, who also had an encouraging report to make. Germany, the Father -1 nd, was represented by J. C. Kessler, now of St. Louis, and Mr. Bichel, secre tary of tho French branch of the New York Y. M. C. A., spoke for France. Mr. Pirazzini, now a student at the Springfield training school, gave an ac count of the work in Italy, which was closely followed in spite of the speaker's somewhat imperfect English. Then the Aryan branches were dropped, and W. A. Hunton, Secretary of colored work for the international committee, spoke for his race, and a strong aud polished address he gave, too. Charles A. Eastman, the Indian secre tary, responded as the representative of the true, the original Americans, aud gave greeting to those present as foreigners. Burt Ihrug Jung, of China, was not very expert iu the English lan guage, but made u neat little speech, and Rev. K. Tsunishma, a Japanese minister, who followed him, extolled the prowess of the Japanese, and then apolgizod to his Chinese brother for having mentioucd such a theme. Japan, he said, iu the loader of Asia, and to win China and Korea, missionaries should be seut to the land of the Rising Sun. Rutnas, of Ceylon, spoke for the In dian empire, of which he said Ceylon was tho key. An interesting feature of the addresses was the fact that each speaker closed by repeating in his own language the words, "Jesus Christ, tho samo yes terday, to-day and forever." Tho rest of the evening was taken up by Mr. Moody, who presented the cause of work among the prisoners in county jails. Tho greater part of the delegates and other visitors are leaving the city to duy. BUSINESS IS BOOMING. Encouraging Reports from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Tho Admiral Says Ho Got Out To Give Younger Officers a Chance. New York, May 9.—Reur- Admiral Meade was seen at a hotel in this city last night and asked about his sudden retirement.

FACTS OFLTS ORDEAL Loss of His Peacock Plume and Yellow Jacket. An Interesting Communication Made Public by the State Department. The Chinese Viceroy Was Sub jected to Many Indignities by the Emperor and Former Friends. Washington, May 11.—The cold facts relating to the depriving of Li Hung Chang of several valuable articles of weariug apparel have been made public by the Btute department in its appendix to the volume of "foreign relations' 1 for 1804. Charles Den by, jr., charge d'affaires of the United States legation at Pekin, gave the state department the first information of Li's disgrace in a letter dated September 18, 1894, to which he appended a copy of the decree about which the American newspapers have found so many interesting things to say. The decree follows: A decree issued by his majesty the emperor, published in the Manuscript Gazette of September 17, 1894. The Japanese revoked the treaty existing be tween the two countries and commenced hostilities and forced their way into Korea. Entertaining a kindly feeling toward our vassal state, we, therefore, dispatched our forces to Korea to pun ish our foe. Li Ilung Chang, minister superin tendent of horthern trade, was appointed general director in the management of our military affairs, and he should have given thorough consideration of the gen eral interests at stake, made the best possible arrangements and satisfied all necessary requirements. He alone was responsible for the trust imposed upon him. But he has not been prompt in the dispatch of troops ut opportune times, and a long period has elapsed without successful achievements. Ho has failed to properly discharge his duties. Let him, therefore, be deprived of the "throe eyed peacock feather" and the "yellow riding jacket" as a light form of punishment. He must however, make an effort aud earnostly awake to action and give orders urging the officers in command of our forces iu the various places in Korea to exert themselves, pur sue and join battle with the enemy as an atonement for the errors committed. In his letter 011 the subject Mr. Denby says: "These decorations, strange us their designations sound to us, are only bestowed as marks of the utmost favor of the emperor. They are conferred iu recognition of exemplary servioes. The "three-eyed peacock feather" is granted only to princes of the blood and in coin peusation for military achievements. It is the highest decoration that a military career can obtain. The withdrawal of these decorations involves disgrace in proportion to the honor conferred in be stowing them. "This is the last of a long series of in dignities put upon LI Hung Chang by his imperial master. His enemies have bitterly attacked him and, unfortunate ly for China, theso attacks have received a favorable hearing. The viceroy has received peremptory and insulting mes sages from the throne. He has been ac cused of uepotism. His sou-iu-law, Chang Pel Lun, of the armory depart ment, bus been dismissed from office and is reported to huve committed suicide. The fact that his son, Li Chiug Fung, was minister to Japan some time ago also urged aguiust him. "Many friends, whose cureers the viceroy has made, have turned upon hiin. Attacking him they hope to save themselves. He remains, however, do limit, spiritedly defeuding himself. He explains the charge of nepotism by as serting that the appointments in war are not governed by the same principle as those made in peaoo, that in confidential positions he must have mon upon whom he can rely. This conflict between the throne aud the foremost statesman of China may be fraught with the gravest consequences. Should the emperor al low him to be crushed It would be ira possible to fill his pluco. To him is due that China has even the semblunce of a modern army and navy." LARGE IiEAL ESTATE DEAL.
