MINNEAPOLIS. TO EVAN'GKMST MIL.L 9. Bis Adherence to "Faith Cure" Arouses One Man. To tbe Eiluor of Uio Globe. Rev. 15. Fay Mills is reported In the newspapers to have said on Thursday last, nt a public meeting, that he was not only a bejjever in the "faith cure" theory, but that he and his family had abandoned medical treatment three years ago after having expended the annual sum of 12,000 for doctor's serv ices and medicines. and that since then he and his family have- been in a perfect state of health through the efficacy of faith. Were it not lor the pernicious results that would inevitably follow from an acquiescence in Mr. Mills' pseudo-scien tific views, no notice should have been taken by me of his vagaries. But, even nt th*> risk of giving offense, the welfare of the race should not be jeopardized. And this if hum no other than % selfish motive, because to enjoy to the fullest extent, it is absolutely necessary that those around us be not in misery. Man, ignorant is a ferocious, sensual, superstitious savage. Clouds and darK ness brood over his scene and disap point his fondest expectations. Man, cultivated, discovers in the objects and phenomena around him a world ar ranged for the gratification of all his powers, animal, moral and intellectual, lie recognizes in himself an accountable, responsible agent Thus, we readily perceive the advantage of applying our minds to the gaining of knowledge of man's constitution, and of guiding our selves by the rules framed from the in formation thus Required. Hut the "faith cure" theorist would have us contravene the laws of the Omnipotent by supinely relying upon His mercy! While it is true that all laws are* harmonious, it is. neverthe less, equally as true that organic, physi cal and moral laws are independent of each other. This is a most important distinction. Thus, a man may violate every known moral law, but. it he obey physical laws, will not in any way sub ject himself to the penalties which at tach to the latter. And so the moralist who might violate natural laws, would not be' exempt by reason ot his noble and meritorious deeds from the punish ment which invariably follows their violation. The minister of the gospel who might attempt to board a rapidly moving train, would be bruised and wounded, it not killed, while the "road aeeut" who might contemplate the rob bing ot it, could enter it while motion less at the station without physical in jury to himself. Man is. viewed in one aspect, a mere animal in structure, powers, reelings and desires, and is adapted to a world in which death reigns and generation suc ceeds generation. But to the animal nature of man are Esnperadded moral sentiments and reflecting faculties which not only place him above ail other creatures, but constitute him a rational being. They lead him to the great object of his existence— obedience to God's laws and love toward his fel low man. But they are attended with the peculiarity that while his animal instincts act powerfully of themselves, his rational faculties require to be cultivated, exercised and instructed before they will afford their fruition of enjoyment. Much has been written about the ex tent of human ignorance, but we must discriminate between absolute in capacity to know and mere want of in formation, arising from Indifference, refusal or lack of opportunity to learn. Some individuals whose sincerity, if not opinions, should be respected, con ceive that as the great revolutions of human society, as well as all events in the lives of individuals, take place under the guidance of the Omnipotent, it would be impious to study their causes and ascertain their effects. Not so. We see Impressed on every bill, implanted in every dale which beautifies and diversifies our land; we hear from every belfry and steeple ai.d tower the Omnip otent^ imperious mandate, "Inves tigate!" To those who do. around us we behold the glorious universe of God, which to the ear of reason hymns His majestic praise and overwhelms our souls with the beauty it unfolds. M. W.

'OWNS THE WORMS, Something 1 About, a Local Character Who Is a Real Character. "Workhouse" Kelly, Who Has Hobnobbed With Emper ors and Princes. Rev. G. L. Morrill Defends the Law Which Inflicts-Capi tal Punishment. Rev. Wm. Wilkinson Says the Church Has Partly Failed —Slumming: Again. Workhouse Kelly was arrested again yesterday and locked up in cell 13, at central station, Patrolman Malchow performed the act of arresting Kelly, and thereby he won his , everlasting friendship. Kelly was on his uppers when arrested, ami had (one the entire rounds of free lunch counters. He had dined at the "Last Chance," and, had he remained at liberty one day lontrer he would probably have been forced to go to work. Kelly has a horror of work, and he has often "remarked that hewould sooner die than soil his hands with plebian labor. Tlian Kelly there Is no better known character in police circles. Ha carries the palm; in fact, the laurel encircles his brow ; and until death claims him, no one will wrest his honors aw.'.y. Kelly is an Irishman, as his name In dicates. He is nearly sixty years old, and has lived here about twenty of them. He has not done a stroke of hon est labor Tor "yeans and yeans," but all the time has lived fairly well ami walked about with a full stomach. He was the first prisoner to occupy a cell in the Minneapolis workhouse, and has been a ruest at the institution for from nicety days to six months out of every year since. It was the frequency of his presence at the workhouse that cave him The sobriquet of "Workhouse Kelly." It was tacked on Dim by a po lice officer, and will last until the" grave claims him for its own. When Kelly is away from the work hoo c he is miserable. He feels lost and lonely, and he always manages to get back asrain as quickly as possible. He considers it a felicity to be arrested, ami when the disgrace of his position is mentioned to him he laughs uproar iously, as if pleased at a magnificent joke. He's a "rani avis in terris," this came Kellv. He was in the best of spirits yester day, and stood up in his cell with his hands clutching the iron bars of the cell door, singing like a troubadour and tell ing stories in the felicitous manner of an old-time monk. He entertained the other prisoners, save. one, and caused the ofheers at the station to hold their sides with laughter. The one prisoner who did not hud Kelly's happy mood diverting was a bis bully, arrested for disorderly conduct. When Keily sang, be cursed. No attention was paid t-> him, however, and he trot nothing but curses in return for his pains. The prisoners wanted to listen to Keily. for his sinning and his stories mado them lontet tor the moment their unhappy condition. , Keth at one time— somewhere in the fifties— was a sailor, a member of the United States navy. He is, in conse quence, as full of yarns as the poop deck of a vessel sailing on the Mediter ranean is of the pestiferous mosquitoes. '•I've seen and talked to all the big fellows of the world," said he to Jailer McKenua, yesterday afternoon, as the latter handed a cup of water to him through the grating. "Idou'c ba.- any °"\viiatdid Emperor William say to you when you approached him, Kelly.-' asked McKenna. ••lie didn't say a word until I ap preaehed him," answered Kelly. "Then lie told me t<> Keep quiet because the president of France was listening to our conversation. 1 didn't care a d— m for the president of France, so I said to William: -He can't blurt" me. Let him listen. It's a horse apiece, for I'm the King of China. 1 When 1 saw the Prince of Wales 1 asked him for a chew of to bacco, and kicked because it wasn t the brand 1 was used to chewing. He tried to get back at me by saying no man of my nationality and name could talk back to a peer of the realm. 1 said to him: 'Couie off de perch, lou want do see?' „ -i he last time I was sent up," con tinued Kelly, giving a tew D , ars of ? breakdown with his broken shoes, 1 had to laugh. Just think of being ar rested and 'sent up' to my own bouse. I went to the judge and told him he would do me a favor if he could make the time ninety days, but he only gave me thirty. 1 didn't feel just right when 1 sot out again, and, as the weather was gettiug cold, 1 just walked up into the office of Judge Mahoney. 1 saw him bitting in a chair in his room reading a great big book. Said Ito him: 'Judge, old boy, I'm broke; will yon lend a fel low a dollar?" He didn't produce right away, so 1 took another tacit and asked him'to give me a ticket of admittance to my own house— the workhouse, you know— that's mine. He slapped me on the Bboulder and said: 'How much tune do you wantr a«d 1 just gave him the tip for ninety days, iie couldn't sue it, though, and gave me only thirty again. J'm getting sick &f moving in and out. and must have a talk with these legal fellows." . Kelly kept up this chatter all day long. "When finally everybody crew tired of his song he sang to iiimselt, and when he fell asleep bis snore was inter mingled with a musical whistle. Even in bis sleep he. was bound to show his neighbors that he was thoroughly happy, and that his condition was in "harmony with his sentiments. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. lev. G. Li. Morrill :-ays It Must Not Bo Aboli-sheil. Rev. G. L. Morrill, In his sermon j yesterday morning at Calvary Baptist church, took occasion to refer to Repre sentative Bjorge's bill abolishing the death penalty for murder in the lirst , degree. Among other things he said: "It is because Law has her seat in the ] 'bosom of God' that her voice is the | harmony of the world, and men unite 1 with Hooker in 'admiring her as the ( mother of peace and ioy.' The great lawgiver who commanded, 'Ihou shalt not kill,' provided a death penalty for those who we re guilty of the wanton destruction of human life. He said: •Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall I. is blood be shed. At the hand of every man's brother will 1 require the life of man.' "God is love, but that love is no more human than a finite creature is an in finite being. Hatred of evil is only the I reverse side of the love for good. The ! divine laws in nature and grace are in dependent of human opinion for their existence, and are to be executed inde pendently of our personal feeling. True mercy cannot Ignore transgres sion. The wages of s<n against the laws relating to nature Is death. Human government, like the heavenly, consists • of law, penalty and punishment. ; "Capital punishment is a derived right j from the One who declares lie will "by \ no means clear the guilty.' The ueain i penalty is neither tyrannical Dor unjust ■ Those who urge its enforcement and "reteution are as charitable ana Christian ! as those who urge executive clemency j and abolition. With no ill will to the j condemned murderer, but rather sorrow j and prayers, justice should be done the | wronged dead and bereaved living. To j mitigate the murderer's crime is to mul- ' tiplv murder's commission. To lesson j the penalty of sin is to lessen the re ward of virtue.

"Government is impossible without law; law without penalty is « nullity. The penalty that does not lit the crime is a premium upon its committal. Im prisonment for life, with possibility of pardon made easy by political puppets, is not a 'terror to evildoers.' Attacks upon the life and virtue of citizens iu stantly and increasingly follow in the wake of the abolition of the death pen alty. We commend our St. Pwul Solonfl to tbe first, full and final authority in this most important matter, which is not Mr. lijorge, but the Bible and its commentary of history. FAILURE OF THE CHURCH. Rev. M tlliiin Wilkinson Preaches n Pcr —on for Holy Week. Yesterday the Motor of St. Andrew's church. Her. William Wilkinson, preached in the morning upon trie words iv the second lesson for the day: "Sleep on now and take your rest." Alter dealing with the time, place and circumstances under which Jesus spoke these forever memorable words to the nisciples, who had let pass unimproved the opportunity of sympathizing with Him and helping Him in the hour of his heavy trial, he said: "1 dare say as we hear a recital of those very wonderful facts, some of us aay, 'If I had been there sleep would have been far from my eyes. 1 would have done deeds and spoken words which would have made the heart of the Savior glad.' It is ever thus. When no danger is supposed to be near, and fame is to be had, 'hands are brave and hearts are strong.' "Let us see. Do you for one moment think that these events of I.'.XX) years a^ r o took place for that day and fur that time only? Nay; 1 tell you truly that here and now stands the Master, in His appeal to His servants. He Is in the men He has made, in the children of sin and of sorrow, in all the many and varied problems which perplex us. There stands the Son of God. and we, if we can aright read the signs of the times and the needs of the hour, may clearly see Him. What means trie ever-present cry of the poor? You say it means vice and crime; it moans drink and shame and idleness. Suppose what you say is true. It is not less true that the worst prodigality does not destroy hu man brotherhood, if it increase human need; and it can uever give to you or to me the right to be judge of men, and to shut the door of our hearts to the appeal of sorrow. When all is said Christ speaks through the wants and the deep yearnings of sorrow which is not the result of sin, or of prodigality; the fatherless and the widow; the vast mass of men who. looking upon social conditions as they are, are to their deepest souls dissatisfied with things as they are, knowing that the machinery of life is out of gear iv some ot its parts, and works ill to many. It is of no use for the church to stop its e?rs. It is impossible to deny the facts, much less is it of service to sleep in indiffer ence to the call for love and sympathy and help, for to do so is to be recreant to duty, to deny trie faith, and to be worse* than infidel. The needs, the calls of men. the grief and sorrow, the suffering and pain, ali are so many mute but powerful appeals for help. They are God's voices to His servants asking for assistance, ar.d the man who lias it in his power anil refuses to hear and help in judgment must stand speechless. Look over the days past, the years gone by; think what the church could have done and been. She could have had a history which would have shown resplendent with the charmed deeds of mercy which had made glad the hearts of men. Alas! with the Spirit to lead, the Bible to teach and the wants of men to urge to duty, never has the church risen to her high place, never has she filled her mission. Too often she has discussed personal honor, methods of work, scaf folding and tackle, papal supremacies, points of Calvinism, fine points of ritual .Methodist policy, church view and con gregational history— things about which men outside the church do not care one straw, and most men inside the church are heartily weary of their very name. Men have asked too often for bread and have had given them a creed. They have asked for fish and received a tract, till half tfie Koman Catholic world Is careless, and half the Protestant world is agnostic. The revealed religion of the Bible, as interpreted by Christian peo ple, docs not rulo the world. All the questions, 'How to Heath the Masses?' 'How to Reach Men?' andlhe like siiow it. A glance at any daily newspaper demonstrates all 1 say beyond doubt. When, instead of falling asleep in presence of the world's nueds, we apply the simple rules of Christ to them, do as He would do, say as He would speak; when we learn to know that all goodness is good, and all from God, its front and king; when we cast out the devil of narrowness and give to men perfect liberty in all non-essential things and absolutely refuse to call anything essential which God has not clearly and unmistakably labeled so; when we, holding the verities of faith, yet know tiiat uniformity of vision is not to be had, and that a useful, helpful, devout life is even better than faith, that men who are good have all eternity to learn —we shall see in the church such a day as men have never yet known." IN THK SLUMS. Mills Meeting "Drummers" Visit the Palaces of Bin. "Slumming" seems to be growing I popular among the ministerial brethren of Minneapolis. Little of. it lias been done since the famous trip of Key. G. L. Morrill two years and a year ana a half ago, which gained so much fame for that energetic gentleman, but the desire to see the half-world seems to be reviving. The Mills revivals seem to have something to do I with, it. Anyhow the Miils re vivals are responsible for a trip that made the rounds late Saturday night, The party consisted of Rev. C. C. llerriott, of St. Paul; William A. Petran, director of the Christian work ers' mission; a reverend gentleman who refused to reveal his name, a police o 111 - eer who acted as escort, and a couple of reporters.

The Inmates of most of the houses treated their visitors as seekers after curiosities. As ministers tan not usu ally patrons of farce-comedies, and have not, therefore, ever seen the imitations of Lottie Collins' "Ta-ra-ra-boom-d* l ay," it is safe to assume thnt the rev crend gentlemen saw exhibitions of high kicking which made them open their eyes. But that did not bother them. They expressed reasonable astonishment, nnd were gently re proving in tone. Although they were comi'L'lled to listen to anything but re spectful allusions to their calling, they never forgot for a moment their nnlwioD among the fallen. Every word of re proof or admonition or advice was pref aced by "My daughter." Tickets for tho Mills meetings were distributed with a lavish hand, and cordial invita tions to the revivals were extended. Somo of the fallen said they might "take in the show if they hail tiiu«. This was, in point of territory covered, one of the most extensive slumming tours ever carried out in Minneapolis, but it was lame. THKIU AN I'IiKKS UP. Rika Busy Preparing for Their Coming Entertainment. "Have you bought a ticket for the Elks benelit?" is an expression that is heard four or five times a day. This in dicates that the "boys" of Lodge No. 44 are on their mettle in regard to their coming benelit at the Lyceum theater. The Minneapolis lodge of Elks is one of the strongest of the order. The mem bership exceeds 200, and embraces the leading business men of the city. The entertainment will consist of a list of strong features. The celebrated Ger man Lilliputians, through the kindness of Manager Conklin, have expressed their intention of participating in the affair, presenting an act of one or the unique dramas that have made these diminutive players so famous. Nat Goodwin has also been approached, and will probably appear In one of his mono logue club recitations. The Bijou con tributes to the entertainment through the medium of the "Voodoo," one of the comedy successes of the year. A benefit enter tainment is always made especially pleasing by variety features, and Man ager E. P. Hilton, of Leavitt's "Spider and Fly" company, a Dopular member of the lodge, will provide some novel efforts in this line. Among the local performers who have expressed a desire to appeal are included Miss Nettie Bourne, in a monologue reading; Edith Mat Thompson, the phenomenal child artist, who bids fair to rival Little Tues day: the Minneapolis Ladies' quartette, the Elks' quartette. Profs. A. W. I'orter and George W. Ferguson, the l)anz or chestra, the Twin City Mandolin club, George Laird, the cornet soloist; Charles Shibley, banjoist; Margaret HcCarron and Bella Maltnsted, the Scotch dancers; Mrs. George Hughes and Mrs. George Laird, soloists. Other amateurs have proffered their services, and the entertainment will not want for a variety of interestjng features. The flower booth, a pleasing feature of ben efits in the East, will be formally intro duced on this occasion. MINNEAPOLIS AMUSEMENTS. Miss Lillian Lewis and her company of players began a week's engagement at the Bijou. The play presented was "Lady Lil," a fervid drama written by Lawrence Marston. Two large audi ences saw the production, afternoon and evening. There is plenty of opportunity in the play for Miss Lewis to display her towns and costumes and she does not forget to take advantage of the chances. In tights, as a circus rider, she appears very shapely. She played in the title role, and VV. A. Whitecar assayed the part of Severin de Italian. "Lady Lil" will be presented the first half of tho week, when the bill will be changed for "Therese Kaquin." The American Extravaganza com pany will begin the week at the (hand opera house tonight, presenting "Ali Baba," the famous spectacle, which is considered a much more elaborate pageant than "The Crystal Slipper" or "Sin bad." Wednesday morning at the Bijou the sale of seius'will open tor the/ engage ment the coming week &£ Oliver Doud Byron in his scenic melodramatic pro ductions "The Plunger" and "Across the Continent." NOTE AM) COMMENT. Minneapolis has a-touple of dentists, W. C. and O. R. Bachmou, who have it in mind to revolutionize the amusement business. One of them has already in vaded this held as a playwright. Their inventive genius has evolved a process . which seems destined to advance tooth carpentering to the position of a rival of tennis, bowiing, base ball or shaking dice for the—ci gars. It Is a little electrical device which looks like a fat-bodied blow-pipe,' but which is an appliance to be used in tooth filling. It seems destined to over turn the customs and habits of years. Once used on a man. he becomes so en amoied of the operation that, when he wants to entertain a friend, he says: "Come down and have a tooth filled with me." The inventors of the appli ance like it so well that they operate on each other's teeth for amusement when-, ever they have a dull moment. The habit of having teeth tilied may, by the use of this appliance, become so all sorbing that another Dr. Keeley may be needed to cure men of the passion for having their molars filled. A young man in the Tribune office has written an editorial on "Happiness in Hell." Does ho speak from personal experience during working hours? By the way, what ha**' become of Representative Cairns' and Judge Young's and Frank Nve'3Law Enforce ment league? Do crusaders sicken and die under a Republican administration for lack of political incentive to action? In the light of facts removed by the production of a new play in Minneapo lis yesterday, it seems that plays writ ten around sawmills, ulacks'mith shops and farm implements are now giving place to dramas built around personal adornments— and .such. Who said stage realism had seen its day? These dentists are consistent fellows They raise a row and a hullabaloo be cause one of their number is suspected of violating their own little code of ethics, bin they themselves drive thou sands of men to violate the Decalogue ■ and then presume to say that they de servo commendation as friends of hu manity. Every day It becomes more apparent that .Mayor Eustis possesses a tini: legal mind— a mind capable of noting the hair-splitting distinctions of the law. His gambling rules prove it. It takes such a mind to discover that what is gambling when cards are pulled from a taro box is not gambling when the cards arc pulled from a "clock." See Second avenue south and Third street. The gentlemen in charge of the prep arations for the carnival of sport would better call oil the Evening Jay and its illustrated articles. Gentlemen, you can t get respectable amateur athletes to help you boom the town if they are to bo ho libeled in advance. Heretofore the only qualifications necessary to become appointed to the position of mentor bread inspector were a pull and a good appetite. If the' pro posed health ordinance is passed, how ever, an spirant for either of the jobs must bs at>i3 to analyze and diagnose a steak, as well as eat It. • Now that Aid. Flanders Is back to the city, there will probably be a settlement ! oi the central pound matter. . It will be settled in a manner that will suit him | by it return to the old system of having a pound-master tor every ward. He was never in real earnest about his lengthy ordinance. Take Notice— Mothers are warned not to bring their babies to the Mills meet ings without lirst having placed some private murk upon their clothing. In the rush for the babies' check room at the conclusion of the service there is great danger of the checks being lost, and tin' little ones mislaid in the shuffle. Hy following the aforeglven advice much pain and annoyance will be averted. There Is a stuffed tiger nt the Bijou this week. The new administration should know of it, for the mayor has already declared that no "tiger" shall be allowed to run while he is in power. A strflot preacher made a hit last night when in his harangue ho spoke of Easter Sunday. He said: "Easter Sunday will soon be here. Let us prepare to spend It in a proper and godly manner. Let u3 oast aside the frlvoltles of life and look time square In the face. What a sad com mentary on.the Christian sivilizatlon it is to see women spending their money for hand painted and decorated eggs, while men put in their time decorating their noses with eg? hips. O people 1 O brethren 1 let us pause." The fight between Health Commis sioner Kelly and the milk inspectors will probably end in a "milk shake." Tha Inspectors have a queer way ot get ting around a semi-colon. They say that the early spring Is no time to se cure a fair idea of the sanitary condition of the dairies for they are always dirty in the spring. That was exactly what Dr. Kelly kicked about. OPPRESSED IRELAND. A Mass Meeting Sends a Message k to Gladstone. New \obk, March 26.— A message was cabled to William E. Gladstone to night by the National Federation of America, pledging him their most vigor ous support iv his efforts to carry throusrh the home-rule bill, aud ex pressing alike the sentiments of the thousands who had gathered at the Academy of Music to ludorse this action, and the tens of thousands of Irishmen throughout America who are loyal to their motherland. Tho mes sage was as follows: We. the citizous of New York, in mass meeting assembled, tender you our heartfelt sympathy is your efforts to achieve for lre lnnd the'loiig-sought-ior mensure of justice, which we trust (Jod will enable you to speedily carry to a successful termination, nnd we pledge you our vigorous and con tinued support through the struggle. Thomas Addis Emmett, MonuAN J. O'Bkijsx, John Bykn*b. This was the keynote of the great gathering of Irishmen at the Academy of Music this week. The people listened to patriotic airs by the Sixty-ninth Reg iment band, and cheered enthusiastic ally when Judge Morgan O'Brien, the presiding officer, and Congressman Bourke Cockran came on the platform, followed by a number of other promi nent men. From governors of almost every state in the Union came messages' of sympa thy with the movement for the freedom of Ireland. Gov. McKinney, of Vir ginia, in his letter, said: "We are firmly of the belief iv the divine right of the people to rule, and all who are struggling for home rule have the deep sympathy of myself and my country men." Gov. Flower, of New York, in a letter inclosing :a check for $200, said: "My sympathies with the cause of home rule Lave often ueen expressed." Gov. John McGraw, of Washington, wrote: "The people of this state with exceptional unanimity favor Gladstone's bill as an important step towards the self-government of Ireland." John M. Stone, governor of Missis sippi, said: "I congratulate her and her people and tho friends of injured and oppressed Ireland everywhere that her cause is in the hands of so good and great a man as Hon. William E. Glad stone." William J. Stone, govornor of Mis souri, said: "lc is a movement in the direction of a larger liberty aud belter government for Ireland." Gov. Kussell, of Massachusetts, ex tended his heartfelt sympathy in the movement. Levi K. Fuller, of Vermont, said: "Th« great heart of our people is with the Irish in their efforts to secure en larged liberty." From Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, came the word: "The tune has come for Ireland to have home rule, and 1 heart ily favor every measure which will tend to bring it about." The governors of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Connec ticut, Minnesota, Michigan and Dela ware, all sent hopeful greetings.

Small recently finished a sentence of five years in Chihuahua, Mexico, for rob bing a train on the Mexican Central single-handed. A few weeks ago he entered the town of Del Rio, about noon. He was on horseback, and, with a six-shooter in each hand, proceeded to depopulate the streets in short order, He then took a shot at every man who dared sftow his head, and kept the town in a state of terror until a few brave citizens began taking shots at him with Winchesters. He then rode off and crossed the river into Mexico. He returned to Texas a few days ago, and was taken into custody at "Nueces station by a deputy sheriff who got the drop on him.

The Chicago Millionaire Sends a Long Letter to the Newspapers. Flat Denial of All the Charges Made by Dunnivant, the ex-Newsboy. He Had No Connection With His Arrest, Prosecution or Conviction. Explanation of Potter's Con nection With the Estate of Capt. Ward. Chicago, March 26.— 0. W. Potter, the millionaire iron manufacturer who was sued by Ernest W. Dunnivant, an ex-newsboy, who claimed $100,000 be cause, as he alleges, Potter had him railroaded to the penitentiary to keep him away from Gertrude W. Potter, the daughter of the millionaire, has broken his silence on the case, and addressed a letter to the press of Chicago upon the subject. He also alludes to the settle ment of the Ward estate at Detroit, which he is alleged to have misman aged. The letter is as follows: "1 Rni fully aware that the constant dropping of water will wear away a stout', and, with this in mind, in view of the constant publication in the news papers c f articles intended to damajre my reputation, I write this letter and ask for its publication, that I may not seem indifferent to my reputation or to the good opinion of my friends, who are very dear to me. The 'Diimilvant' Suit, which would have been tried before this but for the absence of the judge be fore whomit was set, is based upon the charge that 1 was guilty of causing an in nocent boy to be sent to the penitentiary for four years. To this charge I give an unqualified denial. 1 had no connec tion, directly or indirectly, with his ar rest, prosecution or conviction, and am absolutely and entirely innocent of the charge made against me. The insinua tions and statements, so freely made, that I caused Dunnivant's arrest in the case now pending before the police magistrate, seem too absurd to call for denial, but their continued repetition induces me to say that I did not cause his arrest, and had no connection, di rectly or indirectly, with his arrest or confinement, ana did not know that he was in the city until I was charged with having spirited him away. The Ward Will. On the first pages of this morning's papers is printed a full synopsis of a bill tiled against me nearly a year ago in Detroit by certain of the legatees under Capt. Ward's will. The charges made in this bill are not only maliciously false, but my answer In detail to all of the charges is on tile with the bill, yet not one word of the answer to tho charges was printed in the papers. At the time of Capt. VVard's death in 1875, practically all of his estate, except that devised to his widow, was mortgaged or out of his possession as collateral to his notes. Nearly a million dollars of de bts was proved against her estate to pay, for which only about one thousrnd dollars was turned over to me in cash. LI is property had to bo sold 10 pay hid debts. The property was nearly all sold at public auction, and, owing to tho financial condition of the country and the character of the estate, tne property brought much less than it was nominally worth. I made reports of all my acts as executor to the probate court every three months, and the disposition of the estate by me was known at the tune to the court, to the public and, the parties interested. The Estate Was Settled, and I was discharged as executor nearly nino years ago, and yet no complaint was ever made against me until the fil ing of this bill. Ashley Pond, of De troit, was my attorney as" executor, and my acts as executor were done by his advice and under the direction of the probate court at Detroit. I have all of my books and vouchers still in my pos session, and ther^ is not a single charge in the bill that 1 have not the data to disprove and to conclusively prove that tho charges are made either through ig norance or malice. Capt. Ward was the dearest friend 1 had in the world, and it was this fact and t'je urgent solicitations of his sister that induced me against my wishes to become sole executor or administrator of his estate, which was practically insolvent at the date of his death. The details to the answer to the charges made are too voluminous to state in this letter, but I will have a synopsis of tne same prepared and fur nished to you, and 1 hope it may De as fully published by you as the charges have been today. It was my desire and Intention to meet the chawus against me in the courts, rather than to discuss them in the newspapers, but 1 feel that denial of the charges is due to my friends and the public. All that I de sire is an opportunity to present my proofs in open court, and that in the meanwhile 1 may have fair treatment at the hands of the press. O. W. Potteu. AFTER MANY MOONS. Tho New Kochcllo Burglar Now in New York, March — For nearly two years the police have been on the lookout for the burglar who robbed the house of Edward \V\ Kemble. the artist, in New Itochelle. The crime was per petrated on the night of July 25, 1891, and was one of unusual boldness and daring. After having ransacked the lower part of the house the burglar made his way to the sleeping apartments. of Mr. and Mrs. Kemble, pointing his revolver at the occupants of the room, who had been awakened by his entrance, and appropriat ed nearly all the valuables he could lay his hands on, while their owners were powerless to prevent. A single instance connected with the robbery made it a peculiar one. he hav ing taken $10 from Mr. Kemble's trous ers pocket, a gold watch and chain from the waistcoat and three diamond studs from his shirt front. The man was about to carry away Mrs. Kemble's gold watch, which lay-on the dressing case. "Please do not take that watch," said Mrs. Kemble, "'for it was a gift from my dead mother." The robber hesitated a moment, and then put the watch down again with the remark: "I'll be honest for once in my life." The thief also took all the family sil ver. The case was immediately re ported to the police. The burglar was easily described. He was six feet tall, thirty years of age and smooth-shaven. On Saturday Detectives Nugent and McUinnls arrested two men as suspi cious characters and took them to police headquarters. One of them was six feet in height, and he wa's'at once recognized by the inspector as the probable per- Eetrator of the New Kocholle robbery. [is Identity was indicated by jeweliy and sliver found in his posiession. and lie was' subsequently recognized by both Mr. and Mrs. Kemble. The man gave his name as William Dunn, his are as thirty-three, and his residence as 190 Bowery. He denied the New Rochelle affair, saying that he had bought the waicb and cnaiu in Allegheny City, V*. Very Gratifying Indeed iH the ro- BpoiihC to our advt-r --tiwmenta.

He said that he blew up seven safes in the Windy city and looted the Meriden Clock company office in that place of a quantity of valuable goods some time ago. It is believed that he is the man who "held up" the cashier of the New Jersey Oil company iv his office In Newark, in 1892, at the point of a pistol, and appropriated the contents of the cash box. A newspa per clipping in his pocket described a highway robbery at Woodlawn Park also of William Dunn being arrested for robbing William Bevans March 4, whether thi3 year or in some other year is not known. The prisoner was re manded. TRAIN CONSPIRACY. One Prevented Prom Being Car- i-ied Out by Police. St. Louis, March 20.— Confined In the cells at the Four Courts are four men and a woman, the principals in a most daring and complete train-robbing con spiracy. They are J. F. Gosney, alias Lowe, alias -iluntington, alias Boland; H. Jenner Lutz, alias "Kindergarten;" Clark Goodwin, alias Charley; John Reed and Minnie Myers, alias Lowe. Robert Weatherford, alias Leach, the fifth man, escaped from the city. Chief Desmond received the first information of the plot Friday morning in the shape of a message, which conveyed word that a scheme was on foot to loot one of the outgoing trains Soturday night on the Missouri Pacific. Seventy patrolmen in plaiu clothes arrested the gave before they had an opportunity to put their plans into execution. In the room occu pied by Minnie Myers, in a disorderly nouse. were found the masks the men were to have worn, together with three sticks of dynamite and fuses and per cussion caps. Gosney, Lutz and Good win said the scheme was to rob the Sat urday Missouri Pacific, which takes out §70,000 every Saturday ui«ht. It was supposed the operations were to have been continued on a large scale. OVER A SCARLiET WO3IAX. A Murder Results From an Ar- Kansas Quarrel. Pine Bluff, Ark., March 26.— A brutal and mysterious murder was com mitted at Snerril, Ark., last Friday night, particulars of which, owinic to lack of telegraphic communication, only reached here today. The body of Phil Garner, porter at the Sherril hotel, was found in a nude condition in a closet in the hostlery yesterday marning. Tacked on the body was a piece of pasteboard bearing the inscription: • C. O. D. • Collect Three Months' Board. Keep your man at home and : he won't got lost. The coroner's inquest disclosed the fact that the body had been carried by three men to the hotel Saturday morn ing. The only clue to the crime? thug far is that Garner and several men who had been drinking at James 11. Lesser'a bai were iconic to see a courtesan named '•Little Bit," and that on the way, after some altercation, the murder was com mitted. Four arrests were made, and a uaclruple lynching was barely pre qented, as the excitement was great. v ' — i i W(VT Has Her ///yyvS Hands Full y/Vil)\j! — the woman k* * 4 who won't use V 2 / Pearline — . j v^»\y^'*V/v ' her hands i <n/r\\ fun of ! / 3~-^ = - s J^J\ work, and ' ill \ E__J\ K^xoCh ernea( l 1 Hi \=^Sss>.
