THE WASHINGTON CRITIC, TUUBBDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1800. -J , "J : THE TALK OF LONDON. NEWS AND GOvSSIP CABLED FROM ACROSS THE SEA. Itnsala nml tlio Labor Itororm Move ment Child Labor Disapproved by Imperial Council German Catho lics Hold tlio Jlnlnnce or l'owor, London, April 24. Altiiougli tlio Hussion Government for various rea sons, chiefly bccaiiEo of the peculiar social nnil economic condition of tlio country, took no part In tlio labor con ference recently lichl In Berlin, It is plain (lint some, at least, of tho ques tions there discussed have found con Mdcrntlou in tlio councils of tho Northern Empire. The action of tho imperial Council in passing a bill prohibiting the employment in fac tories and workshops of children under 12 years of ago Is n concession to popular demand and tho dictates Of Immunity that is most surprising to thoso familiar with tlio ltussian abhor rence of Innovations, especially of a conciliatory character or of anaturo calculated to lighten tho burdens of the people. If the bill was passed with a view of conferring n measure of protection upon tho youth of tho lower classes which tbo council slncorely believed they stood in need of and were entitled to as nn act of justice, tho imperial body has not gone far enough. If, on tho other hand, tlio council In tended by its act to appeaso tho clamor ous neitator and calm tho prevailing revolutionary spirit it has gono too far, for tho 1 oy nlly of even a ltussian Is not to bo purchased at a prlco so Insult ingly Insignificant. But It may bo that tho' Czar Is following cautiously in tho wako of ids brother monarch of Germany in a reorganization of the labor system of tho country, and if this bo tho case, as it is hopedi other and morc.important changes will doubtless bo made' In tho near future. In any event,, the pcoplo of Itussla may bo thankful for tho sllghtbenoflt conferred upon them by the oltfclal admission that there are among themr persons of too tendor ago to be subjected to confine ment In close workshops and the ex actions of brutal taskmasters, a fact which statistics show has not hitherto been ablo to force Itself upon tho Im perial mind. Tho German Catholic party aro slowly gaining grOund in their efforts tore cover tho revenues and other benefits and privileges which they lost through the Kulturkampf, thanks to their hold ing tho balance of power, or what is equivalent to that in tho new Reichstag. It is confidently predicted by them that thoywill squeeze out of tho Prussian government In tho Landtag much more In the end than they lost as the price of their support of vital imperial measures in tho Beichstag, and there are many among their opponents who bolievothev are not boasting idly. UHAHGKS AGAINST' HIDDLElOS, Alice til I'eculntions Growlnc Out of the Famous Kelt Campatcn. Ottawa, Ont., April 21. Tho com mittee which has been investigating the charges th'at General Middlcton appro priated certain furs to his own benefit during tho Rlel rebellion campaign has reported that tho General did order the furs shipped to him, though In fact ho did not receive them. It was an illegal confiscation, but the committee lire sat y. isfied that tho General acted under a misapprehension of the law. IBs action was none tho less improper, but in view of all tho circumstances it is recom mended that tho General's offer to com pensate tho half-breed from whom tho furs were taken be accepted. IMolibinc Jewish .Residents, Warsaw, April 24. An autl-semttic mob numbering 4,000 persons, after in vading the town of Blala, in tho gov ernment of Siedlce Gallcia, sacked the shops and dwellings of tho Jewish resi dents. The troops- were called out, and eleven persons were killed and many wounded. THE JintSEY l'OISONING CASK. Mrs. , Vnndecrlft's I-uwycr Denies Some of tlio Ugly Stories Afloat. Moukt Holly, April 24. About the only topic of conversation In Mount Holly and Burlington at present Is the approaching trial of Mrs. Carrie Vande grfft, accused of poisoning her son, Frank Norman. The stories ngalnst her past history aro still being circulated, and new ones are apparently maliciously given; every day. Mrs. Vandegrlft's counsel, Hon. C. E.-IIendrickson, re ferring to the ugly stories about her, said: "A sentiment of projudico against Mrs. Vandcgrlft has been worked up so industriously in the city of Burlington, her place of residence," said Mr. Hen drickson, "thnt the local papers are persuaded in advance of tlio trial to publish everything that rumor brings to tho surfaco against her, but not" a word In her favor. It 'seems to mo that the Imprisoned woman should bo ac corded' a fair trial and that public opinion in tho case, out of deference to law and justice, should, bo suspended until the evidence is heard. "Mrs. Vandcgrlft was raanled'to tho late Joseph Vandcgrlft In 1878, and lived happily with him until tho time or his death in 1880. Since' my client's arrest a cruel story has been started by her encmips that Mr. Vandcgrlft died from croton oil administered by'her. The story Is false and absurd. There was no motive whatever for such u deed. Tho two lived together In har mony, nnd her husband was always generous in nis provisions tor ucr ana defended her ou every occasion. Her fidelity to him was attested yesterday lu my presence by one of Burlington's best and most reputable citizens, who said ho knew Mrs. Vandcgrlft was faithful to Uvr husband and kept his accounts, attended to his hnnk matters and was his llnancler gcueraliy. and that Mr. Vnudcerift had tho utmost confidence in her." As far as the gentleman knew, being Intimately acquainted In tho fam ily, they never" had an angry word be tween them. It Is well Ijnown' that Joseph Vaudegriftwas In falling health for years, and had been ill a great deal pi lor to his death, which was from natural causes. "The attempt so assiduously pressed to show that Frank C. Norman Is not her on Ishows the malice and evil in tent of hei enemies. They profess to bo indignant over tho alleged attempt upon her son, but at tho same time are trying to brand this young man with (ho dlsgraco of illegitimacy by, saying she bought him when a babe of a woman on her way to tho nlmshouso wilh him. He is her son, a9 can readily bo proved, and was admitted as Euch to Glrard College, an Institution most rigidly governed, and where no une can gain entrance without proof of legitimacy and of tho respectability of the parents. "I am sorry there seems to bo a dis position In tomo quarters to condemn Mrs. Vandegrlft on current rumor, and beforo the trial. I oven heard yester dav from a farmer that it was reported crnloii oil hail been pumped from Nor man's stomach- Of course this Is un Hue, nnd tho work of some ono more imaginative than some of his rivals In creating such stories.

Gaming is a habit of very old date along tho Riviera; it might contlnuo If tho casino at Jlonto Carlo wero razed to the ground. At Ban Remo games of chance nro forbidden by law now, yet tbo lottery, which Is the most demoral izing of all forms of gambling, is per mitted there, as In all Italian cities. Upward of a century ago tho gamo of chance commonly played at San Remo was blrlbl. Tho gamo Is chiefly kept In remembrance by references to It In tho writings of noted men. For example, Paul Louis Courier, in onoflf his in" compnrnblo -pamphlets, twits the fi nance minister .of his day with playing blrlbl with thc-financcs. This gamo was far more unfavorable to tho player than tho rouletto which is played at Monto Carlo in these days. A uiriui tamo contains 70 compart ments, each compartment being distin guished by a figure nnd a number. Sixty-four balls with figures painted and numbers marked on them are placed in a bag. Tho player puts his stake In one of the seventy compart ments, and if the ball drawn out of tho bag should correspond to It then he re ceives 04 times his stake. There aro 04 chances to 1 against a player at blrlbl receiving anything; at roulette the chance of his doing so on a number Is 30 to 1, and no person has yet made n fortune by playing on numbers at roulette. Thus tho modern gamo of roulette ruins a player more slowly than the older one of biribi. The game of roulette, or, as it is des ignated in the statute book, "rolypoly," is an ingenious device for Inspiring a player with the prospect of gain, and for insuring that the player will con tribute to maintain the keepers of tho table. There Is more excitement in playing at roulette than at trente-et-quaraute, though the certainty of ulti mate loss is tho same at cither. Indeed, the man who systematically speculates on tho Stock Exchange, wlio bets on the turf or who games at Monte Carlo, helps to add to a stock broker's Income in the first case, to increase a bookmaker's profits In the second and to pay divi dends to the shareholders in the Casino In the third. I assume that in each of the three cases everything has been done fairly and in accordance with tho rules laid down." This point of view Is not sufficiently borne in mind. When the wickedness of gaming is denounced too little heed Is paid to its unprofitableness, and hu man beings arc more reluctant to do that which will not pay than that which is called sinful. There is a wild delight in sinning which is not felt in losing money. MANN1SU MAIDENS. Tliey Forcet That Man Desires a Oou- tritst to Himself, From Jllackicood's Magazine. Have we not noticed within the last few yeare a change In the demeanor of "society" girls toward tho other sex? How shall wo define it? A kind of brusque audaciousness in conversation, with a soupcon of slangy chaff; an af fectation of assuming to know moro of what is what than their mothers and grandmothers were ever permitted or supposed to know. Do they not often go perilously near the border line which convcnancc prescribes shall not bo over stepped? wo do not mean this last In tho sense In which It is alleged, and, truly , that our ancestresses of the last cen tury thought it no shame to call a spade a spade, and when young demoiselles of sensibility and vivacity used to sigh over tho misfortunes of Clarissa liar lowo or divert themselves with tho ad ventures of Tom Jones and Soghla Western. It Is something quite different from that that the "present raco of young women affect. It is rather a total want of sentiment that prevails. In former days the sex were wont to appeal to men from their softer, gentler, weaker side. ' Now it Is tho reverse. They appear to aim at meeting men on their own platform, and consorting with them as like to like from a man's standpoint rather than from a woman's. A girl nowadoys will unabashed chaff her male partner, rallyhlm, amuse him, in his own coin, Inliis own manner, and In tho way he would her. This is what wo understand as tho femalo mannishncss so' noticeable In tho beau month of today, and, wo may add, so unlovely. It is forgotten that what a man desires in a woman Is contrast not a caricature of himself. A Clear Complexion, Uricbt eyes and firm, solid flesh aro a few evidences of Its health-giving properties. ''While not detracting one whit from tlio mother's care, I cannot lay too great stress on the nierlts of Mclllu's Food," writes a father. Tlio Judge und the Hoy. A youthful "bean-shooter" named Franklin Meyers, coloied, was before Judgu Mller today. . Ho said his mother was dead and that "his father allowed him more liberties thail a parent ought to do. Officer Dunning ton, who arrested the boy, staled that ho had frequently had considerable trouble with him. Judge Miller gavo the opinion that some ot theso fatuers in Washington who permitted tlielr boys to run at large and tako up time In tho' Police Court on such nelly charges wero moro to blamo than tho boys themselves. Ho permitted tho youngster to go homo with a sovero reprimand. Do you want a pure aud healthy boer for yourself and family? K so, order I'ort-m-r's.

If so, order Port uer's, Telephone No. 7jS-0. I'OIlTl'GUKSn AFltlGA, The Government Nothing Hut the Will of tho Omcor. From tin Fortnightly JlecUw. On ouo of thoso lands, within a day's journey from Cluilllmn.no, I have seen encamped as lately as 1881 alargoslavo caravan n few minutes' walk from the owner's residence,' waiting to dlsposo of Its living merchandise over theso Portu guese estates. To mention that In the compound of tho house Itself was a natlvo of tho slave-stick may only be considered as a superfluous deal. It is well known that yearly largo caravans of slaves nro brought from tho lakes district nnd absorbed into the estates around Qullllmanc. Shut out from the gazo of civiliza tion; colonized by convicts and crimi nals of tho worst typo; overrun by a lace, cross-bred between negro slaves and tbo dregs' of Portuguese jails: oc cupied by an administration powerless, no less from poverty than national apathy, to enforce Its jurisdiction save by bribery and acquiescence in a sys tem of slavery and degraded despotism, it Is not surprising that this vast re gion should have become burled in barbarism, its uufortunato peoples weighed down with tyranny and trade and commerce dwarfed to Insigniiican't proportions. 1o clvo an idea of tho nature ot Portuguese rulo where alone they have any effective occupation, that is in tho Delta of the Zambesi, I may say that tho native soldiers who collect tho mussoco or poll-tax aro In tho habit of forcibly dishonoring tho natlvo women and murdering their husbands or fathers if they resist or oven expostu late. In tlio early part of 1880 1 my self gave medical assistance to a young native man who had been stabbed through the body by one of theso Portu guese soldiers because ho had dared to expostulate ho had not ventured to resist when his young wife was violated by tho soldier. Tho man lingered for two months In great pain nnd then died. This case is simply an cxamplo of what Is-happening every dnv under Portuguese administration. , In ono sphcro, tho sphcro of morality, Portuguese civilization" has made its mark. During iny six years' experi ence of consular work in tho Zambesi regions nothing perhaps has so forcibly been impressed upon me as one of tho results of Portuguese influence on tho natlvo population as tho lamentablo deterioration of native morality. The Portuguese on this coast lino have reached a depth of sexual immoral ityindeed, of sexual criminality below which it is impossible for humanity to fall. Family honor is unknown among theso " degraded pioneers of a pscudo civilization. Incest and unnatural vices aro committed without any attempt at secrecy. The Portuguese morality in these dark re gions Is apparently lower than that of tho brute beasts. With the morality of the native Makololo It can be com pared In no particular. Among tho un contaminated native peoples the moral code is relatively a high one, and its in fringment Is punished by death. Thoso fearful and horrible crimes against natural Instincts practiced by tho Portu guese in their settlements on the coast nro unknown to tho natives of tho in terior. Under tho exemplary tuition of tho Portuguese, however, the native popu lation In the" neighborhood of and under the influence of the Portuguese settle ments have fallen almost to the Portu guese level. Encouraged by the gross immorality of their white masters, they have long lost their own comparatively high moral code. This is perfectly well known to. residents in the Portuguese coast settlements, and it is impossible to preservo silence about facts that aro notorious when, as at present, tho state of Portuguese civilization In East Africa is a subject that claims the attention of philanthropic Europo. ItEMOVED TUB 11KASI. A Story that llroucjht tlio Teller a Drink, From the Xtw York Ledger. On a drizzlyj cheerless eveninc a 'dozen loungers, more or less, wero as sembled In Trask's store. Trask had a bar in one corner, 'Where moist goods were furnished by the glass or by tho flask, or, to accommodate, by the jug ful. Also an old-fashioned open fire place lent its charms to the comfort of theplacc. By and by there entorcd a tall, lank, slab-sided specimen of the genus Yankee, who approached the little semi-circular bar and called for a glass of "old Jemakey." The decanter containing Jamaica rum was set forth, and the aforesaid biped. helped himself to a generous horn. "Hi!" cried one of the men at the fire place, "that's the Chap that saved the llehtnin' express. Jest yqu toll 'em about It, Seth." When Seth had drunk all hands were eager to know how he had saved the express train. They hadn't heard of it. "Waal," said Seth, wiping his lips aud biting a good chew from a plug of navy tobacco, "of yer kcer to hear It. I'll tell ye how it happened." They offered him a scat, but ho would not sit. '"Y6 s"ee, uiglit afore last, jest afore 10 o'clock, I wer' aout on the sldin' of of tho railroad; comin' up from old Whlttaker's, where I'd been helpln' 'cm set up' shooks. Waal, I'd got along right where the track makes a bend nraound Pike's Hill, and whore there's a pair o'bars In the high fence ye know ther's n snow-fence along thai- yaas woal, right thar, I snum, of I didn't sco a 'tarnal great beam a-layln' right across tuo trade, .rrusna, Hem lock an' llghtnin'! What should I dew? I hadn't no moro'n seed tho thing when I heard tho llghtnin' express a comtn' a-thundeiln' up (he road like nil possessed. I put myself ter that beam, but, gosh, I mout as well 'avo tried to lift tho aiith itself. I couldn't budge It." Hero the narrator wiped his speckled brow and took breath. "I tell ye, boys, p'raps yo can jedgo o' my feclln's 'bout that time, but I doubt It. I heerd tho express comtn' nearer and nearer, and pooty soon tho headlight glared right Inter my eyes. I give- ono moro h'lst nt that ere beam, and had ter give 11 up. 'Twasn't no use. I could only stand back and let her rip. And boom! booml crash! bank! kcrwhaek! along it come. Tho old Ingino flew by me like a streak, and tho mighty puff of tho long train almost took away my breath. I jost shet my eyes und waited for the racket." "Well," gasped two or three of tho excited listeners iii' concert, "what linnnnned?" "Why, tho train wont right along jest as easy ns rollln' off a log." "And the iieam wnero was uiai: Goodness! I can't see Into It." "Tho beam was gone." said Siith, backing away a step. "Gone! Where? lly thunder! I Vllovo you'ro gummln' us. Whar had It coney" Shu ! Jest ycou be easy and I'll tell yo. let o seo, when 1 slopped uacu ter the train co bv mv shadder fell light onto the track aud tho beam had ter git up an' git. 'Twas a tnown be'am !"

The survivors of tho Yakutsk massa cro wero tried by court-martial, with out benefit of counsel, upon tho cliargo of armed resistance to tlio authorities, and wero nil' found guilty. Three of them wero hanged: fourteen, Including four women, were condemned to penal servitude for llfo; five, including two women, were sent to tho mlnos for fif teen years; four boys and girls loss than 21 years of ago wero condemned to penal servltudo for ten years, and two others wero sent as forced colonists to tho Arctic villages of Verkhoyansk nnd Srcdnl Kolynsk, in "tho remotest part of Yakutsk." And this sentence, tho St. Petersburg officials say, is an evidence of tho "un usual moderation" of tlio judges who composed tho court-martiall A further proof of this "unusual moderation" is furnished by tho fact that tho political exile, Kohau-Kcrnstcin, after receiving foursovcro bullet wounds nt tho tlmo of the massacre, and after lying nearly five months in a prison hospital, was carried to tho scaffold on n cot bed and hanged by putting tho nooso around his neck nnd dragging tho bed out from under him. If this is Russian "mod eration" one might well pray to bo de livered from Russian sovcrlty. One of tho executed men, two hours beforo tho ropo was put about his neck, scribbled a hasty faro well note to his comrades, In which ho said: "Wo are not afraid to die, but try you to mako our deaths count for something writo all this to Kcniian."
