Judge Allen, of Hamilton, (J a., lnu a mind fall
of anecdotes, and never tlrct of telling them. Ho
reoalls with clearness every Instunco of seeming
nnlmportanco which has transpired daring his ca
reer. He ass heard speeches from the lips of
Webster, Clr snd Calhoun. He enn almost repeat
a ipeeoa ho heard delivered by Henry Clay in a
crowded street of Msoon, when tho orator pre
dicted the civil war.
Ho was ssked for a story, and, ss his habit Is, ho
hail sat for a moment qulettr smoking his pipe. At
length he placed his pipe In his pocket and said:
"Well, I will tell jou a real love story. It all
happened twenty years before the war, when I
wis attending school at tho Oeorgla University.
At that time there existed among the proud
Southerners no greater prejudice than that
against none drovers. A horse drover was con
sidered little better than a horse thlor. I met ono
day a young man of tnla class and, In spite of mv
share in the common prejudice, I was struok with
his easy manner. I saw enougu of him to cornn
to the conclusion that he would grace anybody's
parlor, so one day I ssked him if ho would not like
to call on a youua; lady friend ol mine. He said he
would be glad to do so, and that afternoon we
made a call on Miss Prlgslns. We found that she
hail already two callers, youni men of the town.
I Introduced iny friend, the horse drover, and you
would have been amused to havo seen the coun
tenance of the young men fad. Scarcely a half
doien words wero exchanged before Jllis Frig,
glns'a drat callers made their exit. My friend
took in thesltuailonat once, but he had the good
senae to not snow It.
"After awhllo he was turning muslo for Miss
l'rlu-gins wbUe she played upon the piano. When
sho had finished he was aaked If he could not pi si.
" ! play sometimes,' was his reply.
" ' Will yon not play fur ust' UUs Prlxgins then
asked.
" He reluctantly consented. He took Ms posi
tion In front of the Instrument, and we wire
thrilled with muaio he made, lie touched the
keys ot the piano with the ease and gracs of a
master, and when he had flnlahed and refused to
play more he bad won the friendship of Miss Frig
ging, who wis on hli departuro oorolsl In her Invi
tation for him to call again.
"Well, he made several pleasant calls during
his stay. He oame back the next season, and be
fore he left town he and Miss I'rlgalns approached
tho young lady's father und asked his consent to
thilr marriage.
" ' Since you both seem to desire It, I will not op
pose your marriage, but If my daughter make a
hard bed she must lie upon 11."
'"It shall be at sort as leathern on make It,'
was tho young man's pleasant rejoinder.
"The wedding was set forHepu ID. When he
came for his bride every ono was surprised at the
dliplay he made. He wore an expensive suit and a
servant in livery drove two magnificent Iron grays
to his fine carriage, borne one, made bola by curl
oalty, approached tho servant and Inquired who
the young man might be.
" ' W'y, sir, my master Is de riches' man In
Kentuek', I 'xpect, sir. Ho owns de fines' farm In
de country, and 'pears to me ba'f o' Louisville. '
" Further Inquiry elicited tho Information that
the drover was really a man of means, who had
travelled extensively and had miny accomplish
ments. Bnraco It to say, Mlas l'rlgglns was willing
to accept the bed she had made. "

Taylor Strickland, the negro who killed the
horned make somo time ago near Armmlng, da. ,
killed another a few days ago, evidently a mate to
the first, and near the same place. It measured
nine feet, bad a bull-like hesd nearly as large as a
calf's, and a four-Inch horn on the end ot Its tail.
An old darky standing by when the description was
given said:
" Dat was 'er mighty small snake of Its kind. I

" Humph) Yer knows mighty little 'bout snakes
ef yo'tlnks dat." said another white-haired old
darkey, who looked disgusted at such a weak re
cital of reptile stories. "1 kill or snake one time

From (A Dotton Tranttrlpt,
The experience of the man In l'arla who at
tempted suicide by Jumping from the Arc de Trl
omphe aftc taking a dose of poison, and waa
caught by a projecting iplke and suspended In mid
air for a very bad quarter of an hour, lemla tho
color of truth to a atrullar story which la good
enough to be told avaln. If It Is old. Determined
to bo rid of life, a man took a doae of polaon, put
jla neck Into a noona fattened lo a seafiold ou the
edge ot a cliff, held a pistol to his head, and as he
lumped pulled the trUgtr, Ilia theory waa that If
the poison was not effectual the rope would be. If
the rope broke the sea vtould swallow him, and
there vr.. also the chance that the pistol would do
the frailness. Uot the fates were sislnat him. As
he Jampid off his aim mlsied and the ballet cut the
rope; bo fell Into the sea, but was rescued by a
passing bot, while tho water he had swallowed
acted as an emetic, and, the polaon being rejected,
his life was saved. '
HANGED!

other fields were out. They talked of the Water
loo lo capital, and were frenzied with the fluah of
enthusiasm. Tun was tho tlmo for the An.
archive, for the strikers were nearly all foreign
era. sndtheredrlbiion was worn In tho button
hole of ncsrly every striker.
Over 18,r)0 of the strikers gathered on llltie
Island aveuun on May 8, and Incendiary speeches
were listened to with eagerness. Augutt Hples
was there and harangued the crowd reckleaaly
from the top of a freight-car. Ills speech was in
cendiary aud directed particularly to the MoCor
uleks. At lis close there was a mighty veil of "On to
McUormlck'al" from ten thousand throats, and tho
mob started for the big reaper works. They drove
away tho single policeman therewith aatormof
atones, and had battered ont all me windows In the
factory when police squads oegan to arrive lu patrol
wagons. There' was a hand-to-hand 0gl,t between
tho mob and 100 policemen. In which two police
men and six rioters were wounded. Eleven rioters
were arrested.
Hples meantime, having aeen the effect of hit
peecD, with gleeful satisfaction got lelauroly down
from the car and went lu his office. He wroto tho
famous 'l(ovenge" circular noxt morning, and
followed It with a naming nand-biil a follows:
"Great masa-ineetlng to-night at 7. 8) o'clock at
the llaymarket, Randolph street, between Des
plalncs and Halsted. OckxI speakers will be present
to denounoe the latest atrocious acts of tho polloe,
the snooting of our fellow-workmen yesteruay
afternoon. "
The ArlUerZntung called upon the working
men to avenge their "brethren" who had been
shot down at tho Instigation of tho " capltallatlo
beasts."
THE DREADFUL STORY OF BLOODSHED.
How the rollcemrn Died Who Fought An
Breillats In Chlcnajo Htreeto.
The worklngmen of Chicago were now steeped
In excitement. The atmoapnero of the pro at city
was pregnant with tho promlso of tronble. Kor
orty -eight hours following tie simultaneous strlko
of 80, 000 men and women the streets had been the
scene of llttlegatherlngs of angry people. Speeches
were being made on every corner, fro,m every
horse-block and In every saloon. Tho speeches
were pitched In a key of discord. Thospeakera
were in the main born agitators, men and women
born and reared In discontent, generally, like the
arch-Auarchlsta, shiftless, loir mortals, little re
inovoit from boaala. They fed and grew fat on
agitation.
MonuxKKi) orrtCKK bahiiitt and wtrE.
There was a feeling of insecurity among the law
abiding pooplo of Chicago and aa uneasiness whloh
Increased momentarily. There wero all sorts of
rumors afloat, and It was generally believed that
trouble would begin and violence follow tnreats at
the llaymarket meeting. Tho Chief of Pollen pre
pared as best he might for trouble. Strong and
stronely armed details or police wero secretly
Plsred hard by the pi ado of the meeting. At 8
o'clock a large crowd had gathered In the llarmar
ket In a dimly lighted place, near a number of
trunks, and August Hples started tho meeting with
a speech from a truck. His speech hsd been a
rambling talk about the labor problem for a long
time. Then suddenly he shifted. He said;
" What means this dliplay of Uatllngguns, can
nons, baronets, patrol wagons and clubs? What
means lbs calling out of the rallltla? Is It an en
tertainment for yun, gentlemen T There are S3, 000
or 00,000 famlllea In Chicago suffering starvation
to-day became hnabanda and fathers are not men
enough to stand up for their rights. "
Loud cheers followed this speech and cries of
"The lake I" and "The roper were heard from
hnarae throats.
Parsons followed In a rather moderate speech,
and Sam Fielden made the third and last address.
He was load, blatant and reckless In hit utterance.

"We who come here to address you are Socialis
tic rebels to the law. Lobulation will never help
you, men. When the rich man understands that
It la not healthy to live among a lot of discontented
workmen we shall be able to get legislation, and
not before"
Flelden's speech, like the others, seemed to be
largely to consume time, for It Is almost an axiom
that the midnight hour Is pregnant with wlokrd
ness. It was 10.20 o'clock when a squad of 150
police oftlccra left a near-by station and pasaeu
near and In view of the speaker. The Drat line
halted opposite the wavon on which he stood.
Thoy wero headed by Inspector Ilouneld and Capt.
Ward. The pollco marohed into the crowd, sweep
ing to the pavement and pressing It before them.
A halt was ordered near Flelden's wagon, and
then Capt. Ward cried: "In the name ot the Slate
of Illinois I command this crowd to disperse I"
TIIR OOllD'S FATAL FOHCI.
Almost simultaneously with this command a
spluttering spark of fire described an arch In the
dense black air from the opening of an alley and
over the apeakera' wagon. The flight of the ipark
ended directly In the middle ot the street between
the first two double columns of police. The instant
tnat it struok the ground It exploded with a terrible
sullen roar.
It waa the bomb. It did fearful work. Twenty
nine men fell to the ground, mangled and groan
ing from horrible wounds. A Oatllng gun could
not have cat a wider awath than did tbta awful
weapon In the polloe linos. A scene of horror too
terrible for description followed. To police re
covered quickly. No orders were needed to Ore.
In an Instant every revolver was ont and every
man abet to kill.
MUKDEltltD OFriCKK KKDDIN AND WIFS.
The crowd seemed paralysed for a moment, bnt
with pistol-shots cracking like the tatoo ot a dram
and bullets slnglug In tbe air, the mob gave one
wild yell and plunged Into tho darkness, running tu
all directions, yelling with rage and fear. Men
were knocked dowu and trampled under foot, and
tbose that were nearest to the police received tbe
tire of the revolvers.
In thirty seconds tbe streets about the scene of
the explosion were cleared, save for some sixty
men who bad fallen wounded to the ground. Tbe
centre of the atreet waa full of writhing, groaning
men. Wounded men bad run halt a block, a
block, three blocks, and then fallen uown. Others
dragged themselves Into alleyways. Trails of blood
leading from the battlo-rleld In all directions told
of wounded Anarchists who had crawled on to their
dens, desperate from the loss ot blood and deadly
'tear of arrest and vengeance from tbe polloe. The
police station to which the wounded were removed
looked like a veritable laughter-bouee.
The excitement following this practical test of
the teachings of Anarchism spread from one end of
the world to the other. After some delay six men.
lucludlng lielden, were arrested and Farsons vol
untarily aurreudered. Schnaebele, tbe man wbo la
auppoaed to havo actually thrown the bomb, escaped.

In the midst of an Immense throng of people tho
llaymarket riot occurred May 4, 1B8&
For two years previous to this wholesale homi
cide Michael Schwab, August Spies, A. It. Fsr
sous, Samuel Fielden, George Engol, Adolph
Fischer, Louli Lingg and Oscar Neebe had been
conitantly undor the eye of the police. Thiy were
all foreign Importation.! to America except Par.
sons, wbo Is a native ot Massachusetts.
August Spies, the leader ot tbe Anarchists, la a
German. He came to this country when sixteen
years of age, and Is now thirty-two. He has had
llttlo schooling, but has always been a stuoen
after his own fsahlon. At twenty be had learned
and discard' d the trade of saddler and tramped for
two years through the West and South, At twenty
fonr ha returned to Chicago and assumed the rAle
of iwlitlclan, and, as a leader of tbe Soclallits, de
livered msnr speeches and built op that party so
that they polled over 10,000 votes for their candi
date for Mavor, Dr. Knut Schmidt. There waa
no Anarchistic party then, and Spies became man
ager of tho Arbeltft Ztltung, the organ of trie
H iclallsts, which had a large circulation snd grest
Influence with the worklngmen. Hples gradually
moulded the paper Into an Anarchistic aheet after
tbe atyle of IUrr Moat's frelhftt. Most and Spies
were bosom friends and composed a mutual
admiration society. The rOcfferZettunj; printed
Moat's Instructions as to how to make dyna
mite bombs, and advised tbe -'tolling masses"
to arm themselvos agalcit their enemies, the
"wage-slave drivers " and to "spare no one; nor
wife uor child In the great struggle for freedom,"
which waa about to occur. This course destroyed
the Influence and decimated tne circulation of the
Eaper, but brought many converts to the Anarch
tic Idea and bore Its legitimate fruit lu the Hey.
market tragedy. Bidcs's hstred of the police was
Intensified or tho killing of his good-for-nothing
younger brother, William Hples, by a policeman In
ltm. William was a leader In a dght two months
before his death lu wnlch a farmer near Chicago
was killed, but Bplea was acquitted of the crime.
He was shot while resisting arrest and August
vowed vengeance upon the police. The outcome Is
now a historic blot on the hlstorr ot Chicago.
Spies of late years his managed to dress well, lie
la an expert shot with the pistol, bnt Is so big a
coward that he almost faints at tho sight of blood.
He was a single men, unlets bis proxy rasrrlage to
Nina Van Zandt counts.
Parsons is fony-ave years old. He edited a paper
cslled the fiirm at one lime. In it he gave olreo
tloua for the manufacture of explosives and bow
to throw bombs, aud advocated the destruction of
society. He was at one time a scout In Texas and
It a "dead shot." He has never overburdened
himself with .work, but Is a born agitator. Ills
wife is qnlte as ardent In anarchism, aad has ad
dressed audiences In this city within aear in be
half of the condemned Anarchists of Chicago,
bus has negro or Indian blood In her veins. Hho Is
a good speaker, Is an earnest denunciator ot soci
ety and makes vague appeuls to arma.
Hsm Fielden waa a native of Lincolnshire, Eng
land, (orty years old. He worked In a cotton mill
from his ninth year till he reached his majority.
He Joined trio WeMoynn Metnodlal Kpisropa
Church, and was a Monday-school superintendent

wife,: who anffered terribly dnrlng the strain of
tho paat month.
Oe-jrge Kngei waa born in Caiacl, Hcsie, In 1809,
snd came to America In 1872. He naaalwaya been
a Socialist of tho violent typo and was business
manager of the ArMtei-Zetttug.
Mlohsel Schwab was a native of Uavarla, thirty

Louis Llugg, iho dynamiter, paramount of all,
wbo fittingly ended his life with a fulminating dy

of tho fraternity. He waa only S3 years of age.
He wis born In Iladen, Germany, whero he re

and the closing addresses and tbe charge ot Judge
Oary were not completed till Ang. 19, when tbe
case was given to tho Jury. They retnrned a ver
dict ot murder In the drat degree against all tbe
men tbe next day, and Judge Gary Imposed the
death sentenee upon them Saturday, Oct. 9, the
time between having been consumed by argnment
on a motion of the counsel for a new trial for tbe
prisoners and tbe remarkable speeches of the men
In reply to the question, "What have yon to say
why tho sentence of death should not be pro
nounced against you T"
Soles read a manuscript oharglng that the Jnry
had been organized to con via; that the principal
witnesses for tbo prosecution, Malvern M. Thomp
son and Gilmer, were the accomplices of the State
Attorney aud Inspector Vonfleld, who were g illty
of a conspiracy to oommlt murder. He delended
Socialism and shrieked:
"Ishsll die proudly, defiantly, for the cause of
Justice. Thero Is Bocratcs, there li Gallloo, there
la Christ the number cannot be estimated of those
who have trodden In these paths, ana we are ready
to follow them. " Schwab, Neebo and Fischer made
similar addresses. In spite of the caution of Mr.
Solomon, one of their attorneys, Schwab admitted
his connection with the "Itevenge" circular, call
ing the llaymarket meeting; At the conclnilon of
a fierce speech Llngg said i " I dlo willingly on the
gallows with the same contempt that I have for
your laws. "
The Anarchists had depended on the belief that
no legal llaullliy would attach to anybody who did
not actually handle the murderous Instrument.
Great was their consternation when Judge Gary
ruled that all who were connected In acta con
sclouaVy and designedly leading to tho killing were
alike guilty of murder. It waa for tbo Jury to de
cide whether the act of the accused led up natu
rally and by design to violence and tho murders,
Tbe secret preparation of bombs, tbe mutual ex
hortations to kill the police, and the chain of con
spiracy, from the midnight meetings of tbe assas
sins dowu to the tragedy in tbe llaymarket square,
were brought to ligoi, and It was made clear that
If snob, acts could be committed and no one pun
ished exoept tbe person who aotually did tbe kill
ing the mere tool In the hands of the conspirators
then society would be at tbe mercy of the dlicl
pies of Uerr Jobann Most.
ALL ArmAL WAS VAIN.
Leonard Swett, Capt, W. P. Black and Slgmund
Zelaler, counsel for the Anarchists, argued for a
teveraal of Judgment and a new trial before the
Hupreme Court of Illinois at Ottawa, Msrch IT and
It) last, George Ingham, Attornoy-Gensral Hunt
and btate Attorney Urlnnell opposing for tne State.
Three printed volumes of argument were also sub
mitted. On Sept. 14 tne Supreme Court affirmed
the declilon of the lower Court and ordered the
execution ot the men, Nov. 11. iho Court held
that peaceful aiaemblage was always lawful, but
that tbeae men had been clearly proven to be lead,
era of the " lted Flag;" that they were all present
at the llaymarket meeting, and thai that, like tbe
other Communlatlo meetings led by them, had not
been lawful.
on Oit HI ilen. Itogcr A. Prior, wbo had been
enlisted on behalf of the condemned men, made an
application to the United States Supreme Conn for
writs ot error, relying on polnta Involving Federal
questions which would give thl, court Jurisdiction
lu the cases. Tney were that the law of Illinois
readers It poealble to try prisouera with prejudiced
Jurors, and that It waa done In this case, which
waaobnoxloua totheConatltotlon; that the pris
oners were compelled to testily aaainat themselves,
and that criminating evidence was obtained from
their private desks without search warrants, in vio
lation ol the constitutional provision that a man
shall not be deprived of life, Ac, wlthont due
process ot law.
Arguments were made by J. Itandolph Tucker, of
Virginia, and Geo. Ueujamin F. llutler. Attorney
General Hunt and State Attorney Grtnuell, of
ldinola, opooied, and Nov. 3 Chief Justice Walle
delivered the decision of tbe fnll Court denying the
application, aud all hope for the condemned men was
auuudoned, though strenuous effort,, were made In
their behalf to obtain pardon or commutation of
their sentence to imprisonment for life from Gov.
OgUsoy, ol lllluola. Petitions have been sent to
Guv. Ogleaby by the bushel, and hundreda of peo
ple have Journeyed to the capital to plead with him
person. llr. A allly sympathy has been generated
b; the tedious proceu of the law, and many peo
ple wbo ahouid know better bave talked against
the execution of tho aeven murderous conspirators
as a legal or political murder, assuming that tbe

LAST NI0HT IN TOE JAIL.
What Wa none and How tho Condemned
Dion Pnaerd Their Time.
(incur, to Tnx kvxkixo would. 1
Chicago, Nov. 11. The last death watch on the
prisoners began at 8.10 last night. Two guards sat
In front of each cell, looking directly
Into It all tho tlmo, and never
taking their eyes off the prisoners.
Parsons seemed to bo easier In mind than any of
tho others He paced to and fro smoking a cigar
as calmly as If he had the opportunity of combin
ing a hundred boxrs.
Kx-Slierlff Hanchett came Into the Jail about 9
o'clock, and alter looking through the cells held a
short conference with Sheriff Matson. The dis
cussion was in regard to the details of the execu
tion, but Its result waa kept secret.
' Uy 10 o'clock last night everything had qulotod
down in Jail.
From tho great cell-house nothing could be heard
except the occasional cough of a man, the sound of
a prisoner's moan or groan In his sleep and
the rattling of the heavy keys In
the lock, wielded by Charles Gross,
tho strongest and biggest deputy on Sheriff Mat
son's force. The keva rattled oiten, too, and
every time the harsh, grating nolae vent
with a rebounding echo through tbe vast
building. The frequent clanglnga of the
heavy grated door leading to the cage
were caused by tbe numerous changes made
In the death watches and the requirements of depu
ties aud carpenters employed upon the ghastly work
of completing tho gadows. Setb Uauchett,the
ex-Shcrlff, supervised the putting of the machinery
of death, running to and fro between "death's
corner " in the northeaat comer of the Jail and the
Jailor's private omco where Mataon held forth.
The great good-hearted Sheriff was visibly moved,
though he tried very hard to appear calm and col
lected. NO MOKE FAREWELLS.
"Will the relatives of the doomed men be ad
mitted to say farewell before the execution?" ho
was asked".
"Oh," was the weary reply; "I think they
said good-by this evening. It would befto no pur
pone to repeat the sad scene nnnecciBarlly. "
Mrs. Parsons stood In tbe outer ball of the Crim
inal Court building, the verr picture of dlsconsola
tiou and despair. She did not attempt to get ad
mission for a look at her husband and naturally
she waa not Invited. After standing around
for ten minutes between the police officers
and the guards she left, having spoken no word to
any ono. Her every movo waa watched with argua
ryes by the officers, who knew tho determined and
desperate character of tho woman. Sho was silent
ly shadowed when she left the building, disappear
ing In the direction of Charles street.
In the outer Jail omco there waa a scene of rest
lets activity. A full score of reporters were squat
ting In every conceivable position on tbe chairs,
tho Door, and even on the scales, reducing
tho observations on the doings of the
doomed men to more or less graphic
accounts. All the old - time deputies
Cleveland, Kllday, Hubbard, Gleason, Morgan,
lltldeurand aud othera were on hand and beguiled
time by relating Incidents of former executions In
Cook County. Occasionally a laugh would be
raised at somo ludicrous episode, but It quickly
died away In tbe sombre surroundings.
Angnat Spies waa the first one to retire. He
threw himself upon his couch at 10.80, clad In tho
flannel shirt which be has worn of late and a pair
of trousers. He turned his face to the wall,
io that bis features could not bo ob
served by the guards. Up to midnight
dhe never move. but the Irregular movements of
his cbeat Indicated that he did not sleep. What
bis thoughts may have been after that tearful part
ing from his aged and grief-stricken mother and
his passionate, unwedded bride, are conjectural.
TALXINO UNTIL atlDNIOnT.
Parsons, Engel and Fisher brought their chairs
close to the grated doors of their cells and chatted
with their guards. At mldmuht tney bad not
yet retired. What they said nobody but
the men tuey talked with know, because the death
Hue for everyone but officials was drawn at the
door leading to the oage. An exception
was made In tbe case ot Lieut. -Gov.
Smith, who came In shortly before 11 o'clock.
This dignitary was accompanied by Gen. Fltzslm
mons. Commander of the First Brigade: Lleut.
Col, Thomas Clarke, Inspector of Hide Praotlce;
Lieut, -Col. Buchanan, commissary; Llem-Col.
Potter, Quartermaster, and Lieut. Lovejoy, Aide-de-camp,
tho latter lour of Gen. Fltzslmmons's
starr.
"simply looking over the ground. There Is
nothing else to say," was the General's reply,
given with military briefness and promptness,
when he was asked as to the purpose of tbe night
visit.
The affable gentleman and brave old soldier was
In citizens clothes like his retinue, but hla short
stylo of answers mado it apparent to those who
knew that he meant business.
Lieut. -Gov. Smith wss equally uncommunica
tive, and It was, of course, uaeleas to ask the o ra
cers ranking nnder the commsnder of the brigade.
Incidentals It was learned that both regiments
ot infantry, as well aa Major Tobey'a battery, will
be at their respective armories with daybreak,
ready for action.
Lieut. -Gov. Smith has fnll power to act delegated
to him by Gov. Oglesby for this occasion.
Dnrlng the night Kngel was cheerful and con
tented, and at times even witty. When Sheriff
Matson told him of the Governor's decision he
merely said: "I did not expect more. I am
satisfied and I will go to the gallows as fear
lessly aa I have been In tbe habit of going to be
hung. "
Flelden's Ilecord In Pittsburg.
SPECIAL TO TBC KTZNIKO WORLD.)
Pittsboro, Nov. 11. Much Indignation Is felt
here ovor the commutation ot Fielden's death sen
tence. In February, 1888, he attempted to work
up an Anaichlstlc revolt In the city. On Washing
ton's Birthday a meeting of Anarchists was held In
a Pennsylvania avenue saloon to listen
to Geisuch and Fielden. They made an
Inflammatory harangue. Fielden waa asked If
he would use dynamite and he replted In
the following words: ' We will not hesitate to use
anything when the time arrlvea. A revolution Is
near al hand. It roust oome. We want to abolish
the present system of government. Some one
must suffer in every reform. Lives must be sacri
ficed. I am In favor of the quickest means for tne
accomplishment of our purpose." At this meeting
ten Anarchist groups were organized, but there
are not now twenty Anarchists In the city.
A NEW PLAY AT THE MADISON SQUARE.
A. M. Palmer's admirable company presented
' Tbe Martyr " to a large audlenoe at the Madi
son Square) Theatre last night, and If the play Is
not exactly of the son that the patrons of the cosy
little home expect to find, It Is certainly worth
seeing. As before stated two other versions ot
"Tbe Martyr " have been seen In this city, bnt In
both cases a star has been coniplcuous and tbe rest
of the company hopelessly stupid. "Tbe Mar
tyr " Is extremely emotional, bnt the emotion Is all
wrong. It ought not to be there, It oonld easily be
prevented, and consequently sympathy cannot
be indiscriminately given to Mme. de Moray.
This lady discovers that her mother has an llllgltl
mate son, by the visit of that young man, who de
mands money for silence. The brother and sister
are seen together and the husband oh I ldlotlo
theatrical hueband becomes Jealous. Then Mme.
de Moray, rather than ssy who her visitor really Is,
asserts that be la her lover. The husband and wife
separate. There Is plenty of misery and
desolation, and the martyr oannot
complain that she has done badly from the stand
point of wretchedness. No one can thoroughly
sympathize with this woman. The world Is miser
able enough. Tsere Is no need for Mme. de
Moray to make It worse, when a few words spoken
to her husband, whose confidence she could com
mand, would have set things right, Mrs. Agnes
Booth was Mme. de Moray, and she did
all she could for the misguided
woman. Alexander Salvlnl made as very
effective Italian adventurer. By the by, why
doesn't tho Italian Consul arise In wrath and pro.
teat against the lndlacrlmlnale use of his proteges

IFrom ra MUieavkte BntlnU 1
There lsayonng married couple in Milwaukee
who have fonnd It up-blll work to get along In the
world. They came here two or threo months ago
to find work, having been married but a few days.
The parents of both aro well-to-do people and It
was no runaway match, for two pairs of paternal
hands were laid on their beads In bidding when
they plighted their troth. In tact, the yonng Bene
dict's father manlfeated his good will by giving
him II, 000 In cold cash, and told him to buy a farm
with It. The noxt Sunday yiey took a buggy ride,
and when they stepped out from tbe vehicle the
young man fonnd that he bad lost his money. A
distracted search was made, but the person who
had picked up the purse hadn't taken the
tronble to advertise the fact very extensively. Not
daring to tell his father that he had lost the mon-y,
the young man agreed with his wife that they
should go as far away aa the money they had
would take them and try to earn the money back
before returning home. They found they had Juat
money enough to take them to Milwaukee, and on
they tame. When tbey had been hero a week they
found that making a living In a hard, cruel
world was not like lying down on a feather
bed and having the old folks tako care of
you. Tho boarding-house keeper threatened
to fire them out bodily if they didn't
pay up; they hadn't money enough to take a street
car ride, and no prospect of getting any. Tney
need the medium of the ' ' want " column to tell an
Inquiring public that a man and his wife wanted a
position together, the one as cook or domestic, tne
other ss gardener or hostler or utility man about
the bouse. It happened that Juit such a couple
was wanted about that lime at the Mltohell farm la
the town of Greenfield. It turned out that the man
would answer very well, but the yonng wife proved
to be a very bad cook.
"Can yon bake bread?" she wss asked.
She sadly said she couldn't. Other questions
ellolied tbe faot tbat she didn't know enough about
cooking to boll eggs, and so, of course, there was
no Job for her st the farm. Determined to live or
starve together, the husband threw up his Job too.
it became necessary for the couple to change
boarding houaes, and in this operation they loft
their trunks behind. When finally things looked
pretty desperate for them, they decided that per
haps, after all, they could not get places Jointly,
and the girl accepted a situation In a west
side family as second girl. The husband
made up his mind that he couldn't get a Job In
Milwaukee and determined to go to Oankosh. He
had no money, and so one fine morning he started
on foot for the home of the baseball champions.
When he came to the stockyards. Just beyond the
city limits, he was gratified to find that he could
get a place there, and he went to work at once.
He works thereyet and his wife Is now employed
In a laundry. The curious feature of tbe affair is
tbat through all their trouble they havo never fal
tered In their resolution never to write boms nntll
tney have earned f 1,000 and can go back to the old
folks with It.

Comptroller Loow told The Eveniwq)
World reporter that he favored tho Sunday
opening. Mr. Johnston, President of tho
Metropolitan Museum, who has for years
been intimately associated with it, is in
rather dehcato health. Ho did not core to
talk upon tho subject. It is woll known,
however, that ho has always been oppoced to
opening tho Museum on Sunday.
Mr. Huntington, President of tho National
Academy, talked on tho subject with tho
reporter. " 1 am opposod to it," he said. " I
think Sunday should be devoted to religious
purposes. It is hard enough to get people
to church without supplying attractions
which will help to draw them away from it.
The argument that Sunday is the only time
poor people can visit the Musoum would be
met If tho galleries wero thrown open two
evenings in the week free. The electno light
would turaish all tho illumination necessary.
There has been, and is, talk of doing this."
" What are tho grounds on which tho trus
tees baso their opposition to tho Sunday
opening?" was asked.
"Thoy are different with tho different
ones," replied Mr. Huntington. " With sev
eral a religious feeling is the fundamental
one. Others opposo tho opening on the
ground of expediency. Thoy think that it
might deprive the Museum of donations, or
that some of the trustees would withdraw if
this were done. Some aro moved a little by
tho extra expense. Those who nro opposed
from some reason of expediency would
doubtless desiro it if they foresaw no un.
pleasant consequences."
" Have any bequests been made with tho
proviso that the Museum shall not be open
on Sunday ?"
" I believe that Robert L. Stuart and his
brother Alexander left two or threo thousands
with that condition. There are, however,
some large bequests which might bo affected
by the Sunday opening, and posBiblythat
has been of weight with somo. Then there is
so strong n prejudice against it with some of
the trustees that ii it were carried they might
withdraw.
' ' These, you see, are motives of expediency,
and so long as tho trustees havo to see to get
ting the money to keep tho Musoum running
thoy have a perfect right to look to their
sources of revenue. But my own opposition
to it is. on religious grounds. I bave tho
feeling, perhaps due to early education, that
Sunday should be set aside to tho Lord. It
is his day, and ono should not take it for
himself.
"The time will come, however, without
doubt, when the Museum will bo opened.
I think that tho theatres and concert-holla
and all placeB of amusement will be In full '
swing in New York on Sundays. That is the
drift: things are tending that way, and '
people look on tho Sunday as a day for
amusement only. However, if it wore car
ried by a majority of votes, I should say
nothing. It is seldom that there is a full
meeting of tho Board. The best way would
he to write to each member and simply ask
him if he was in favor or was opposed to
opening the Museum on Sundays."
Mr. Herain Hitchcock, of the Fifth Avenue)
Hotel, declined to speak on the subject.
"When we havo brought the matter to a
conclusion," said ho, " it will be time enough
to let the publio know. I don't think it ad
visable to speak about tho subject till then."
