Transvaal, receives a salary of $-10,000 r
year, and is said to be worth $5,000,000. <
His way of life, however, is distinctly !
plebeian. A story is told of some fash- '
ionnble ladies who called to leave their !
cards with the president's wife. Thev |

cards.
THE class in zoology at Cornell the
other day was studying the brains of
lays or skates. Some of the students
made hasty drawings and seemed to
think that nothing more was to be done. 1
Instead of trying to convince them of
their error Prof. Wilder remarked that
in the summer of ISG7 he had sat at the
table of the late Prof. Louis Agassi/,
while the hitter pored for hours over
just such a brain, which he had exposed
with a knife given him by the poet
Longfellow.
IN applying for a divorce a few days
ago a woman of Kolfomo, Ind., stated
that her husband was so jealous he al
ways slept with a razor, u revolver, a
hatchet, and a package of poison under
his pillow, and a shotgun and a corn
knife beside the bed. He was prepared
to fight his man in any fashion that the
exigencies of the occasion might de
mand.

Kino Menelek, of Abyssiua, knows
nothing of the Italian tongue except

facetious exchange. It is quite evident
that the doughty monarch could not
get near enough to the Italians to
"catch on" to their lingo. He caught
on to a few of their habits, however,
and may learn the language later on.
Tiie girls of a literary society of the
Normal college in New York city lately

"Resolved, That arbitration is the only
proper method of settling disputes be

so conclusively settled our men of state
may now turn their attention to matters
of less moment.

tho quality of milk in nearly all Penn

prosecutions of rascally milkmen. It

of it!

from the 17th congressional district of
New York, who was elected without |
instructions, but counted for Morton, j
has issued the following statement: j
•No additional honor can now come to i

statement on the subject.
THE CLAYTON TRAGEDY.
Domestic Trouble (lie Cause of Edwin
IMunt's Awful Crime,
Winsted. Conn., May 5. —It is now
known that domestic trouble was the
cause of Edwin Plant shooting and
killing his wife and two-weeks-old
daughter and, when about to be cap
tured by the posse, committing suicide
at Clayton. Mass., yesterday. After
shooting his wife and baby, who died
instantly, he fled to the meadows,
armed with his revolver. When or
dered to give himself up by the posse
which went iu pursuit his only reply
was a revolver shot. Then began u
fusilade which lasted fully fifteen min
utes. The fugitive concealed himself
in the tall grass, lying prostrate in the
bogs, which protected liim from the
flying bullets. He then had but one
bullet left and. realizing that the posse
was determined to capture liim, tired
the shot into hie side and rolled down
the bank into the Konkopot river.
When taken out a moment later he was
dead. Harry Lyall. bookkeeper of
the Clayton-White Brick A Terra Cotta
company, against whom the murderer
had some grudge, had a narrow escape
from death at his hand, as he asked
for him at the -factory, declaring that
he would kill him. just before the posse
got on li is trail. Lyall, however, was
I absent at the time.
ARMENIAN RELIEF WORK.
No Interference Offered by the Turkiali
New York, May s.—The national
Armenian relief committee has re

Clara Barton, dated at Constantinople,
April Irt: "By getting better ac
quainted with surroundings and people
ami learning methods of business
pursued here, lam able to accomplish
the relief work more rapidly than at
first, when all was strange and new.
There have never been any obstacles
placed in my way by the government
excepting those naturally growing out
if the condition of affairs. 1 was
asked to wait until investigation
could be made. This lasted but a short
time, and since then no delays, inter
ference, nor restrictions have ever
been proposed to me. If transporta
tion and personal communication could
have been as easily managed, we could
have been at field work long before
we were."

LIVE QUESTIONS.
A Scries of Articles Contributed by
Advunced Thinkers.
EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Wliy Should Not All He Treated Alike Po
litically?
{ I believe that the ministers of the
United States have done more than any
other one class to hasten the progress of
the woman movement. I know that
many of our reformers hold a contrary
, view, and perhaps I am not an impar
| tial witness, as I come of a long line of
ministers and my only brother was a
I member of that guild, but we must not
forget that the woman question can on
ly prosper in time of peace, and that as
a class the Christian ministry hits, more
j than any other, proclaimed peace on
earth and good will to men. The teacli
| ings of the pulpit have inculcated those
, principles under which women can be
coworkers with men in every lino of
life. It is only under the influence of
the principles of Christ that the inhab
j itants of a nation become sufficiently co
! ordinated in their attitude toward gov
ernment and commerce, literature and
labor, art and life, to appreciate the
characters and qualities of women as
coworkers in all the enterprises by
which men forge forward toward better
conditions for themselves and families.
It is also true that ministers have been
a well nigh determining factor in tho
boards of trustees of those higher edu
cational institutions to which we have
been admitted, and without such edu-
I cation we could never have held our
j own in the comradeship of good work
now so largely recognized among men
and women. All my life I have found
more encouragement and help from
j Christian ministers than from any other
class of men, and I believe that the ma
jority of our reformers would bear the
same testimony. As a rule the pulpits of
all churches, except those in which
I sacerdotalism forbids, have been opened
! to us. When I went to the south, it was,
! as a rule, ministers and their wives who
formed the bone and sinew of tho early,
as they do of the later, temperance
movement, and as they do of every other
reform, because they are the represent
atives of tlio Divine Reformer.
These facts furnish a background be
fore which a few ministers have dis
ported themselves in an unenviable
light—for instance, when an excellent
bishop says to a class of "sweet girl
graduates" that when women vote they
will sell their ballots as they now sell
themselves. When the gifted Dr.
of Georgia declares that "the woman
who rides the bicycle is the victim of a
FRANCES E. WII.LAKD.
personal devil," he shows himself to
be out of sympathy with this great
question of equal rights.
The brethren have made for them
selves unenviable fame, and their atti
tude toward women who are trying to
ameliorate the sorrows of humanity will
not, 1 dare affirm, be quoted by their
descendants, but will be consigned by
them, and, let us hope, by the women
who will then be invested with all the
powers and dignities of citizenship in
church and state, to a charitable obliv
ion. Ido not raj' that these are not
good men, but they arc certainly whim
sical and grotesque in their attitude to
ward one (jf the greatest reforms of
their time. Nor will those other good
men who are doing their best to prevent
the admission of women to the counsels
of different branches of the church of
Christ desire to have this fact empha
sized when their post mortem eulogies
are written. It is the ill fortune of some
men and women in every epoch of ad
vance to find their emblem in the bowl
der on the track rather than the arrowy
current of the refreshing, forward rush
ing stream of that public sentiment
which is the final factor in all those rev
olutions by which humanity comes
nearer to good will and God. The sul
tan and the czar may order the words
"liberty,equality, fraternity," eliminat
ed from all published documents with
in the area of the autocracy they repre
sent, but the fatuous prohibitions of
despots, whether 011 a large or a small
scale, are but another form of personal
death warrant autobic (graphically giv< n.
Readers of Benjamin Kidd's "Social
Evolution" must have been often struck
by the phrase "equality of opportunity."
In these words is the quintessence of a
high and noble socialism, for at the
bottom of all our social discontent it is
not a quarrel with parentage, birth and
gifts of nature that disturbs us, nor even
so much with environments as with that
maladjustment of opportunity which we
feel instinctively is not natural, but
comes of human meddling with nature
and utter disregard of God's place in the
world he has made.
And the present social perturbations
and scarcely suppressed upheavals—what
are they but attempts to bring about not
equality in wealth, equality in position,
but equality in opportunity for every
human creature? The mode of attempt
may not always be wise or well adapted
to the end sought, hut the end and aim
are good. It is this aim to secure equal
ity of opportunity that has given such
impetus to the cause of public education
during the last few years, for it recog
nizes in all classes of society that 110
power raises a man so quickly to the
level of the world's best accomplishment
us the ectafation and development of his
intellect. Nothing gives him such noble
companionship and sets him as a peer in
the society of mind, nothing has so raised
man as man and distributed its gifts so
widely save Christianity as taught by
Christ himself.

IMPROVED BANKING METHODS.
A ConffrpKHinan Who Gives Some Atten
tion to the Will of Ills Constituents.
Ouv representatives should be more
scrupulous in gifting tho will of tho peo
ple, and when they do not represent this
will they should resign; otherwise they
become misrepresentatives.
Congressman Brosius of Pennsylvania
set his follows u good example recently
by writing to H. C. Baird, the able
economist, to indicate what changes lie
would make in the banking and money
system of the country. Among other
things Mr. Baird said;
"First, in regard to our banking sys
tem. That system is based upon the
same great fallacy as the wickedness of
Lord Ovcrstouo's bank act of 1844,
known as 'Pool's bank act.' This fal
lacy is that of attempting to regulate
tho bank operations through tho cur
rency instead of acting directly upon tho
bank itself. Tho currency belongs to
the whole people, and if the British gov
ernment or the United States govern
ment abdicates tho right of furnishing
the currency it should not permit the
bank or banks to tamper with it or to
regulate their loans by the amount of
currency in their possession on a given
day. As far back as 18118 Carey, in
'The Credit. System In France, Great
Britain and the United States,' demon
strated conclusively that tho test of safe
banking was to be found in tho relation
which the capital of a bank bore to the
amount which it had due it by its debt
ors. Tho proper way to regulate the na
tional banks of this country would there
fore be a provision of law by which no
bank could loan more than 100 or 150
per cent over and above its capital and
surplus.
"But if tho Overstono law is still to
be fixed upon the people of the United
States, then the reserves of tho banks
should be kept at home and not in the
banks of New York, there to stimulate
speculation, to centralize business and
create panics, as tho present quack sys
tem does, placing the whole country at
the mercy of Wall street.
"Now we come to the much larger
question of the currency. I would cease
absorbing myself with tho one idea of
tho standard aiul what it should be,
and devote myself to putting in opera
tion, in full vigor, the great function of
association which money fulfills. In a
word, I would have gold if we could
get enough of it, I would add silver,
too, if that would ho enough, and if
not, paper until we had enough. Gold
is utterly unfit for the currency of a
country, because it is always liable to
export, giving you one day a feast and
another day a famine. If we could have
a large volume of silver which was
overvalued in tho coinage, that would
be an immense advantage, as only the
bullion and not tho coin would be ex
ported. The attempt at agigantic sacri
fice (tens of thousands of millions of
dollars) during tho last 31 years to
give us a currency 'at par .all over the
world' is one of the most mischievous
results aimed at by any legislators in
the world. What is wanted is an inex
portable currency which by its contin
ual presence will give to thewholo body
of the people tho ability, promptly and
vigorously, to associate and combine,
to exchange services, commodities and
ideas among their several selves. What
you and Mr. Walker, tho chairman of
your committee, would do would be to
make enormous sacrifices to the end
that the people should wake up one day
and find almost the entire basis upon
which their power to associate rested
fleeing across the Atlantic ocean. This,
permit me to sny, is not statesmanship.
It does not lead to prosperity, to busi
ness, to virtue, to civilization, but it
leads to the waste of labor power, tho
most perishable of all commodities, to
poverty, to demoralization, to crime
and to barbarism.
"If you will once recognize in its full
force iliat great truth enunciated by
Carey, that the greatest need of man is
that of association with his fellow men,
and that money is the instrument of
that association, you will thou prepare
yourself to leave the company of tho
men who are now driving these people
to desperation, and yon will join tho
silver men, who would rescue them
from destruction.''
HERBERT SPENCER ON FREE LAND.
Given a race of beings having like
claims to pursue the objects of their de-
I sires, a world into which such beings
! are similarly born, and it unavoidably
follows that they have equal rights to
the use of this world. For if each of
them lias freedom to do all that he
i wills, provided ho infringes not tho
! equal freedom of any other, then each
l of them is free to use the earth for the
: satisfaction of his wants, provided heal
j lows all others the same liberty. And
! conversely it is manifest that no one or
! part of tlicni may use the cartli in such
; away as to prevent the rest from sim
ilarly using it, seeing that to do tills is
to assume greater freedom than the rest.
■ Equity docs not therefore permit prop
trty iu laud. For if one portion of the
! earth's surface may justly become the
possession of an individual and may bo
held by him for his sole use and benefit
as a thing to which ho has an exclu
sive right, thou other portions of tho
earth may be so held, and eventually
the whole of the earth's surface may bo
so held. Observe now tho dilemma to
which tliis leads. Supposing the whole
habitable globe to be so inclosed, it fol
lows that if landowners have a valid
right to its. surface, all who are not
landowners izive no right at all to its
surface and exist only by sufferance.
They aro all trespassers. Save by tho
permission of the lords of the soil they
can have no room for the soles of their
feet.—Herbert Spencer.

Madrid, May f>.—This city was the
scene yesterday of an imposing* relig
ious ceremony, the object of which
was lo procure the intercession of St.
Isidro, the patron saint of Madrid, who
lived in the thirteenth century, to
bring about tho end of the long
drought that has done great damage
throughout the country and also to
effect the suppression of the Cuban re
bellion. The remains of the saint, en
closed in a silver casket, were carried
through the streets escorted by 800
priests, thousands of members of re
ligious congregations and the civil and
military officials. All carried lighted
tapers and tho scene was most im
pressive. even to those who had no
faith in the efficacy of the ceremony.
There were a great number of choris
ters who chanted litanies as the pro
cession moved slowly through the
principal streets of the capital.
People K iii-It in tlie Streets.
The route was lined with thousands
of people, who knelt as the remains of
the saint were borne past them. The
houses were decorated in honor of the
: occasion, and an enormous quantity of
flowers were thrown from the balconies
into the path of the procession.
Nothing similar to yesterday's cere
mony has been seen in- Madrid since
tho seventeenth century. Services will
be held for nine days in the cathedral,
their object being the same us that of
yesterday's procession. The queen
regent and other members of the royal
family and the ministers will attend.
Similar functions have been or will be
held in all the towns of the country.
TO AID THE CUBANS.
Doubt That Another I'llihu*teriiig
Expedition Has Gotten Away.
Philadelphia, May .">. —That another
Cuban filibustering expedition is be
ing, or has just been, fitted out in this
city is now generally believed among
those who are watching the movements
of the friends of the insurgents, and
the report from Atlantic City indicates
that the expedition is now probably on
the way to Cuba. Thy dispatch stated
that twenty men, none of whom was
known there, were taken on board in
four boats and rowed out to the un
known steamship, which had stopped
a mile oft' shore. As soon as the
strangers were put on hoard the mys
terious craft made off with all speed
to the southwest. It was learned later
that the strangers placed on board the
vessel were from Philadelphia. The
men carried no baggage. The life
savers,t he dispatch says,believe that tin
steamship is one of the boats employed
in the southern fruit trade, which are
being used extensively for filibustering
purposes. Steamships in regular coin
mission rarely come within sight ot
the coast at that point. The general
opinion among seafaring men is that
another Cuban expedition has success
fully got away, and that the steamship
already had on board arms and ammu
nition.

STREET LETTER BOXES.
fcult Against the- Government for u Royalty
for Their IJ*o Pulls.
Washington, May ">.—The attempt to
compel the United States to pay a
royalty for the use of the street letter
boxes now in force has come to naught
in the supreme court of the United
States. The assignee of Samuel Strong,
the patentee, brought suit in the court
of claims in 1884 against the United
States to recover a royalty of Si apiece
upon each of the 35,000 boxes then iu
use. Tho court rejected the claim and
this judgment the supreme court of
the United States, in an opinion de
livered by Justice Brown, affirms.
Taxpayer* Will C'onte*t the Claims.
Bridgeport, Conn., May 5. —The Con
solidated road has presented to the
city treasurer here a bill for $6,000,
the city's share of the small portion of
the railroad improvements already
j made. The taxpayers here who are to
contest the validity of the agreement
between the railroad company and the
city have been waiting for some time
for this bill to be presented. Their
j plan was to enjoin the city treasurer
from paying it, and thus carry the
matter to the courts. This will now
be done.
