"Yes, truly there is an inspiration in
the scene, and under its guidanc;
let us transport ourselves br.cfc
to that other scene which was witnessed
a quarter of a century ago th is day in the
historic temules of the Eternal City. It
was a time when the Holy Father was
still in tho possession of a great part of
his own. The glorious traditions and
holy memories of the past yet clustered
with almost pristine vigor around the
holy places when yon came as a youth from
the young Republic beyond the waters
to drink in life-giviug streams of science
and sanctity, to garner in the treasure
house of a ready intellect tho wealth of
sacred lore." Feeling allusion was made
to the priesthood and to the ecclesiastical
labors of His Grace's long and laboriou i
career.
.Mr. Field, president of tho Catholic
club, delivered an address on behalf of
tho laity, and a student from St John's
College followed with one from the pupils
of that institution. The occasion was of
the greatest dignitv and pomp.
THE ALASKA COMPANY.
The Alaska Company Charged with 3Io
nopolizinc the Kntiro Trade of AVestcrn
Alaska, to the Detriment or All litis
Themselves.
"Washington, Sept 21. Chester Secber,
formerly United States Commissioner
for Alaska at Ounalaska, sent the House
committee on morchant marino a letter
yesterday concerning the Alaska com
pany and the seal fisheries which the
committee now has under consideration.
In this letter he claims that the company
uses the power of its contract with tho
Government to monopolize the whole
trade of Western Alaska; to oppress tlio
inhabitants of that country, r.ud to retard
its development All commerce with
this part of Alaska, he says, is dou?
through the rivers and Bchring sea at
the instance of the company, and an7
vessel found there is searched, and any
furs which it is found to contain, in what -ever
manner obtained, are seized and
sold. This, ho says, prevents trade wi h
tho country, and results in most cases in
irreparable los3.
Mr. Seeber also accuses tho company
of freezing out a competitor by raising
tho price of skins above the London
price and lowering them again when tin
competitor had been driven from the
field. The company, ho says, prevents
the development of the adjacent country
by discouraging prospectors and minors,
and refusing to sell them food when ther
are in need. The letter was read before
the committee yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Mclntyre, the suDerintendent of
the company, said that the company had
paid a rather high price for furs when a
rival appeared in the field, but he
thought this legitimate. He said that
Seeber owed the company two tlioustu-l
dollars for rent and money borrowed
when ho left its employ.
A dead'burglar.

IlruRcIst's Sure Shot.
St. Louis, Sept 20. As Emmet Liytoi
and his brother Alvin were lying in b-.l
last night, in the rear of their father's
drug store at Grand and St. Loirs ave
nues, they were aroused by suspicious
sounds coming from the direction of the
door leading to the cellar. Premising
that a burglar was attempting to efT;ct rwr
entrance, both of the young men reached
under their pillows for pistols which re
posed there, and simultaneously fired at Vie
door. There, was a dull thud as thou rh
some heavy body had fallen down tho
stairs, then a scrambling and a running.
The young men hastened to the hick
door, which they reached in timo to see a
largo man emerge from the coal-hoi" of
the cellar. Emmet gavo the fleeing farnra
a parting shot aud returned to bed. This
morning tho body of the burglar was
found not far distant, with a jimmy b
his side and other appliances of his
profession on his person, but his identity
has not been discovered. He had been
shot through tho body, just above the
heart death resulting from internal
hemorrhage. On tho dead man's left
arm were the figures "1S12" tattooed in
blue ink; he would weigh about two hun
dred pounds and had a straggling sandy
mustache.
Chamberlain on IrNh Homo Rule.
London, Sept. 20. At a breakfast given
at Bradford to-day by the Radical-Unionists
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain said that he
did not seo why the Irish should not havo
local government, though his experience
had shown him that whethor at Dublin,
Uew York or Boston. Irish government
was always inefficient and corrupt
He said thnt he once thought the
Liberals and Unionists could reunite
on a feasible policy, but now the schism
was daily widoning. An allianco with
the Conservatives would dopeud upon tho
adoption of principles which were above
party interests. The government had
consulted the wishes of tho Unionists in
stead of differing with them, and Mr. Bal
four had unqualifiedly approved of their
policy. Only a reactionary policy was
tne distrust of tne present alliance.

Spokane Falls, IV. T., Sept 20. This
town was visited Tuesday night by an
other fire, which destroyed abont $3.",003
.worth of property, with total insurance
of $15,000. There is every reason to
suspect that this second fire, and the one
the other night were both the work of
incendiaries. "VVhile the fire was in
progress several attempts to commit
arson wero reported, but no one was
caught A largo reward is offered foi
tho apprehension of any of tho fire bugs.

Tho Old ribby PrUon Building Sold at
Auction.
Richmond, Va,, Sept 2L Libby Prison
was sold at auction yesterday afternoon
for eleven thousand dollars. Dr. D. D.
Bramble, of Cincinnati, was the pur
chaser. "When sold privately last Febru
ary to "W. H. Gray, of Chicago, the prop

of Mr. Gray's failure to make the deferred
payments that the building was sold.
Dr. Bramble.says he simply bought th
property to hold as an investment, as he
is in receipt of information that a syndi
cate of Chicago gentlemen has been
formed to take the proper ty off his handi

PANIC STRICKEN.

Over the Alarinlnpr Spread of Yellow
Fover Extreme Measures Adopted to
"VFard Offtlie Plague.
2ew Orleans. Sept 22. It is reported
that a portion of the railroad track be
tween Harrison and Yicksburg has been
torn up by frightened people in order to
force trains to stop. There is good ground
for believing the report trus. There is
scarcely any fear thut any refugees will
be able to reach Louisiana or 2Jew Orleans
by river, for Jackson has been isolated
and people from there have no means of
reaching the Mississippi river. Vicksburg
and Xatchoz havo both quarantined most
strictly and railroads connecting theui
with Jackson have been obliged to go out
of business for the present There is evi
dently a reign of terror in and about Jack
son, and a gentleman on his way from
Birmingham to Vicksburg, who was forced
to como to New Orleans from Meridian,
said that he never saw people so frightened
as the Mississipp:ans who are panic strick
en with fear that the scourge may become
general in their State. Special trains as
required will be sent to Jackson by the
Illinois Central to carry north all who de
sire to go.
AT JACKSON.
Jackson, Miss., Sept 22. The fever ex
citement was greatly increased yesterday
by four new cases. They are David Hippe,
Charles Daley. Jefccph Bourne and Frank
Kavanagh, all workmen on the new rail
road depot It is generally conceded that
all the cases originated here and were
caused by excavations and disturbing
filthy sewers on tho depot grounds dur
ing the past two months. Three-
fourths of the white population
havo fled. The stores are nearly all
closed and there is but little food in the
cit3 for the "can't-gct-aways." No trains
stop hero, but a special train was furnished
last night for such as wished to go through
to the North, taking on passengers some
distance north of the city. Tho Red Cross
Society was organized to-day. John Lor
ance, one of the three cases reported
Thursday, died yesterday afternoon. The
provisions have nearly all been carried
away and the merchants and people who
can not get away are in a bad fix. Nine
tenths of the white people and a few of
the colored people have fled. A shotgun
quarantine is now in force on nearly all
the dirt roads surrounding Jackson.

disease. The total number of cases re
ported to date is l,fS2; total deaths, 10C.
A special from Gainesville reports one
new case there a member of the guards
who went to Fernandina.
One of the most pathetic incidents of the
pestilence occurred yesterday. A littlo
nine-year-old boy named Storck was
brought in from the Sand hills where he
had recovered from yellow fever. Making
his way to his home he was told that his
father, mother and sisters had all fallen
victims to the dread disease. He is a
bright little fellow and will be cared for by
a gentleman who was a patient near him
in tho hospital.

Jcannette Survivor to be Rewarded.
"Washington, Sept 22. The cruise of
the ill-starred Arctic exploring vessel, the
Jeannette, was recalled yesterday by the
passage of a bill in the House granting
relief in the sum of $4,000 to "William Nin
demann. It was developed that Ninde
maun, although an enlisted seaman, by
his skill in ship carpenter work saved the
lives of the entire crew when the vessel
was first wedged in the ice, and that ho
performed such continual and. meritorious
service as to justify his claim for compen
sation as ship's carpenter in addition to
that received by him as a seaman. It ia
believed the bill will pass the Senate with-
out opposition.

to leave town under pain of hanging.
On Sunday two fires wero started in

was fired and the lodgers escaped with
great difficulty. One man is evidently
burned to death, as no trace of him could
bo found. Soon afterward four other fire3
were started in different parts of town.
The incendiary fires yesterday were
serious. Tho conflagration in Pierce's
clothing house was well under way when
discovered, but hard work saved much
of the stock. Before the firemen had left
the building another alarm was rung in,
the fire being this time in the Cottago

GRESHAM'S OPINION.
He Talks of the People ot Ecrope In n
Characteristic Way.
Chicago, Sept 19. In conversation with
a reporter about his trip abroad, Judge
Greshum said: "During my absence I
visited England, France, Belgium, Ger
many, Svvitzei land and the north of Italy.
I like tho Gormans belter than other peo
ple I fell in with. I found them to be a
sincere, hospitable, good-hearted people,
entirely free from pretense. They were easy
to get acquainted with and inspired one
with confidence. They are economical and
vigorous, both mentally and physically."
Concerning France, he said: "It is mani
fest to anj-casual observer that there is a
great irritability on the part of the French
people toward Germany. The young Em
peror seems to take pleasure in announc
ing that he is willing to fight, but the Ger
mans are cool and "William II. is sur
rounded by conservative influences. Ger
many does not want war aud will not fight
unless France forces the issue. The war
spirit pervades all classes in France
the higher as well as the lower. I talked
with a great many Frenchmen who de
clared their country would be a good deal
better off with a stronger government
They have no confidence in the republic
and desire the restoration of the empire.
Boulanger commands no respect from the
sensible men of France for he is vain and
frothy without much ability, but he ap
pears to havo the majority with him."
HE FUR SEAL FISHERIES.
Necessity of Restricting the Fisheries in
the llehriiijj Sea.
"Washington, Sept 19. Information has
been received here from Canadian sources
to the effect that the fishermen of British
Columbia are quite as much interested in
the presevation of the Alaska seal fisher
ies as Americans are and that they would
be willing to join in any measures the ob
ject of which would be to perpetuate the
fisheries. This question may ultimately
have some relation to the complications as
to the Behring sea fisheries seizures which
have arisen between the United States and
Canada. It appears that the track of wa
ter highway in which the Canada schooner
Thornton and her boats were seized by
tho United States revenuo cutter is directly
in the line of waters in which the fur seal
aro plenty. Canadians themselves admit
that if these waters were opened to the
world to fish in the fur seal would soon be
come an extinct animal. The zeal of the
hunters to capture all the seal they can is
controlled in that region by the regula
tions of the United States Government
which aro designed to preserve the ani
mals so that only the natural increase will
bo captured. If, however, the waters of
the Behring sea should become a common
highway for all fishermen the result would
undoubtedly bo the speedy destruction of
the fur seal fisheries.
Worse Yot.
Jacksonvili e, Fla., Sept 20. "While
yesterday was another bright and lovely
day, tempered by a delightful sea breeze,
the "pestilence walked in darkness and
wasted at noonday." The official Teport
for twenty-four hours ended at six p. m.,
shows 130 new cases of fever, making the
total so far reported 1,333. A very large
proportion of new cases now are among the
colored people living in the suburbs.
M. R. Bowden, recently city editor of the
Times-Union, died of yellow fever last
night. He leaves a wife and five little
children. His whole family has had the
fever, Mrs. Bowden being still sick. Five
new cases of fever are reported atMcClen

Cincinnati, Sept 19. The session of the
Democratic Congressional convention of
the Sixth Kentucky district yesterday in
Covington was an interesting occasion.
The crowd was far beyond the limits of
accommodation, although there was no
shadow of doubt as to the action of the
convention. Mark Gray, of Grant County,
placed John G. Carlisle in nomination and
Theodore Hallam made an eloquent speech
seconding the nomination. The nomina
tion was made with great enthusiasm and
when Mr. Carlisle appeared there was an
outburst of applause lasting several min

ANTI-GLADSTONE.
London, Sspt 23. The recent signs of
friction between the Tories and tho
Unionists had greatly raised the hopes of
the Liberals that they wera the precur
sors of a complete disruption ot the coal
ition in the very near future, but these
hopes were dispeled by tho Unionist con
ference held at Bradford yesterday. Tho
fact chat Mr. Chamberlain dominated tho
conference adds greatly to the impor
tance of the resolutions adopted pledg
ing the party to sink all minor disputes,
defer indefinitely the consideration of
questions not immediately urgent, and
support the government until home rulo
had collapsed; iu other words, until Mr.
Gladstone should die. These resolutions
show the hand of the Unionists in a man
ner more open than any previous act or
declaration of the leaders of that party,
and confirm the already strong belief that
the Unionists are anti-Gladstone first and
foremost and anti-home rule only be
cause the Liberal leadens for it
ANOTHER AMERICAN EXCHANGE SWINDLE.
Mr. Gland ville, formerly an attache of
Gillig's American Exchauge, was en
gaged last spring by Colonel Wolsely
Cox, a cousin of General Lord Wolsely,
and Dwight C. Goldcr, of Now York, to
manage an establishment called the
American & Colonial Exchange, situated
opposite the Hotel Metropole. He per
formed his duties, but was unable to col
lect his salary, and was about to tako
legal proceedings. Yesterday, however,
bailiffs took possession of the place for
unpaid rent, and Glandville sought in
vain the advice of a Bow Street magis
tral. Golder is being flooded with writs

went Into bankruptcy, and the prospects
of the creditors are bad.
THE ATTACK ON THE nOME SECRETARY.
The Daily Telegraph has resumed its
onslaught on Home Secretary Matthews,
and other papers are following its exam
ple. All London is roaring with laughter
over a cartoon in the last number of
Punch, representing a blindfolded po
liceman seeking criminals while uncon
sciously dodging between their legs. Tho
cartoon is said to have aroused feelings
of the highest indignation in the breast
of the Home Secretary, but tho opinion is
now general that the present Scotland
Yards system, which ho inaugurated
with a flourish of trumpets upon taking
office, will not survivo the autumn ses

The inquest on the body of tho woman

gans of the murdered woman wero re
moved in a way that no ono but an expert
could have done it, and the theory that
the murder was committed by au insane
surgeon is rovived and finding many new
believers.
CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH.
London, Sept. 20. Mr. Joseph Cham
berlain, speaking at a conference of Radical-Unionists
at Bradford yestorday,
said that the healing of the rupture be
tween the Unionists and the Liberals was
almost impossible. TheGladstonianshad
not announced their programme because
they did not know what their unstable
leader might next propose. Tho action of
tho Irish executive, he asserted, had been
strictly in accordance with legislation.
Mr. Chamberlain denied that the evic
tions had been unfair. It would be a
gross injustice to social order if the law
wero permitted to be defied under tho
menaces of the leaguers. The Unionists
would protect tho minority in Ireland
and preserve the honor and integrity of
the country.

ture will be 1,200,000. The depth of
water will be the same as in the Suez
canal. The work is being prosecuted
by 2,800 men, and is expected to tako
three years Jrom now for its com
pletion. Th6 appliances used at pre
sent include fifteen engines, each
drawing from sixty to seventy trucks.
At the western end of the canal, on
tho Gulf of Corinth, are situated all
tho large depots and offices of the
canal company. Here a new town is
growing up, called Isthmia. The
depth of water a short distance from
the shore is thirty iathoms. The
work is most irksome and expensive,
the canal having to bo blasted rather
than excavated. Tho sides of the
canal are of solid granite, and there
will consequently be no washing away
or necessity of dredging. The tariff of
the canal will be fixed at a low figure,
so as to catch all the coasting trade,
and it is fully expected that, in spite of
the great expense of the work, it will
pay well in the end. Iron.
A DAKOTA BLIZZARD.
Storms That Bring With Them Blasts of
Finely-Powdered Ice.
Littlo or no snow falls in Dakota
from November to April. It is too
cold to snow, and the blizzard is not a
snow-storm (in the ordinary sense of
tho word), but a cold wind which
comes sweeping down from Behring
Strait, with a velocity of from fifty to
sixty miles an hour, bringing with it
a blast of finely powdered ice. Imag
ine a thick fog, all of ice, blown along
by a high wind; the tiny particles,
coming with such velocity, sting like
a blow from a whip-lash.
Nothing can stand before it. Those
buffalo and cattle, who are used to it,
make for the lee side of the nearest
hill, haystack, or building, and hud
dle close together for safety, trusting
to being covered by the snow, and
thus kept warm; when, if the storm
does not last too long, they may escape
alive.
You can not see across the street
from ono house to another, and men
have been frozen to death within a few
feet of homo and safety. The ther
mometer falls many degrees below
zero, beyond the power of mercury to
measure it; only the best spirit ther
mometers can be used for these low
temperatures. When going with tho
wind you are driven along with resist
less force.; if against it, you are
knocked down and buffeted about; un
less you aro so fortunate as to find
speedy help and shelter, you are al
most sure to be frozen to death. Mrs.
M. P. Handy, in St. Nicholas.
He Trusted Not In Vain.
"My young friend," said old Mr.
Surplus to young Mr. Giddiboy, "do
you not think that you were rash to
ask my daughter to marry you when
you are not able to support her?"
"Well," said the young man, craft
ily, "perhaps I was. I admit my fault
and throw myself on your generosity,
sir."
"That's right," declared the old gen
tleman. "You shall not lose by it, I
assure you. There, sir, is a nickel to
pay your car-fare home. No thanks,
if you please. Good-day, Mr. Giddi
boy." Chicago Kcias.

URIFY YOUR

But do not use the dangerous Alkali and
Mercurial preparations which destroy your
nervous system and ruin tho digestive pow
er ot the stomach. The Vegetable King
dom gives us the best and safest remedial
agencies. Dr. Sherman devoted the greater
part of his life to the discovery of this relia
ble and sate remedy, and all its ingredients
are vegetable. He gave it the name of
Prickly Ash Bitters I
a name everyone can remember, and to the
present day nothing has been discovered that
is so beneficial for the Blood, for the Liver,
for the Kidneys and for the Stomach. This
remedy is now so well and favorably known
by all who have used it that argument as
to its merits is useless, and if others who
require a corrective to the system would
but give it a trial the health of this coun
try would be vastly improved. Remember
the name PRICKLY ASH BITTERS. Ask
your druggist for it.
