every one of them I have received the
same answer, that in no city of this
country is vice so open as in Boston. Not
only are the horrible establishments
advertised in the press, but they are
marked by signs, and under the names
of ‘massage operators,’ or ‘chiropo-

it openly on the streets last night; you
can see it almost anywhere. I am con-

tour of inspection of the seal islands
and Pacific coast ports, is concluding
Tlie Suez Canal Company Provides
for His Wants.
It is truly characteristic of the warm-
hearted and forgiving nature of the
average Frenchman, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat, that not a word of
protest should have been raised any-
where against the grant by the Suez
Canal company of an annual allowance
of about twenty-four thousand dollars
to the De Lesseps family, even those
whose entire fortunes had been swal-
lowed up in the disastrous Panama en-
terprise expressing their satisfaction
at the measures thus adopted to pre-
serve their illustrious compatriot from
want. Notwithstanding all reports to
the contrary, the De Lesseps had
actually been reduced to penury, and
their situation was most precarious.
Not only all the shares which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps possessed in the Suez
Canal company, but even his fees as
director, the annuity assigned to him
personally by the company, and all the
money he had been able to lay aside,
were attached by the liquidators of the
Panama bankruptcy. The only re-
sources that remained at the disposal
of the countess were the house which
she owned in the Avenue Montaigne
and the Chateau de la Chesnaye, both
of which were more a source of ex-
pense than of economy, and were
mortgaged up to the very hilt besides.
With the object of averting all dan-
ger of seizure by the creditors of the
count the allowance just granted by
the Suez company has been made in
favor of the countess and of the thir-
teen children of the count. The two
eldest of these are Charles and Victor,
who are the sons of his first wife. Of
the eleven children of the present
Countess de Lesseps three are serving
in the army, one is married to that
Count de Gontaut-Blron whose finan-
cial difficulties were a theme of much
discussion in the Parisian press two
years ago, and the remainder are still
dependent on their father and mother
for care and maintenance. Meanwhile
the grand old Frenchman, now In his
eighty-eighth year, passes his exist-
ence in a sort of semi-somnolent con-
dition in the arm chair, which he only
leaves for his bed. He can no longer
walk, he has become stone deaf, and
when he is not gazing in silence at his
children he reads newspapers, care
being taken to select those which con-
tain no uncomplimentary references to
his name. Having lost all notion of
time, those placed before him are most-
ly of dates four and five years ago,
Workingmen Called on to Put Up
More for Tlielr Lots.
New York, N. Y., Sept. 11.—The
World this morning says: Elisha M.
Fulton, one of the organizers of the
cordage trust, has met with several
commercial disasters recently. The
collapse of the Industrial Land Devel-
opment company of New Jersey is the
last which has overtaken hirn. This
company is winding up its affairs, hav-
ing issued notice to its stockholders to
that effect.
The Industrial Land company was
organized several years ago to dispose
of Cape May, N. J., property. The
company purchased of Charles R. Col-
well of Philadelphia a tract of land
containing 35,000 acres, and, dividing
it into building lots, advertised their
sale of bargains. The scheme was to
sell the lots to wage earners in the
large cities on the installment plan,
tempting them with glowing accounts
of the possibilities of the place.
The company advertised the price as
$200. Several hundred lots were sold
to workmen in this city, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn and Newark. -Thousands of
dollars were paid in by workmen. Now
they have received notice that unless
they pay $30 immediately they can not
secure deeds to the property and what-
ever money they have paid hitherto
will be lost.
The Newark lot buyers have formed
a committee to institute a suit to see
whether this is legal procedure.
Mr. Fulton was the moving spirit of
the company and the lot owners claim
that he is responsible.
Another Sort of Execution and an
Old Debt Paid.
New Brunswick, N. J., Sept. 11.—
James Van Hiz, the New Jersey hang-
man, was a very angry man when he
went to the office of Sheriff Toffey in
Jersey City to collect his fee of $250 for
hanging Altenberger, the murderer of
Katie Rupp. He found an order of the
supreme court to satisfy an old debt of
$175, which he owed Joseph Grover of
this city.
Eighteen years ago Mr. Grover in-
dorsed a note for $125 for Van Hiz. The
note went to protest but Mr. Grover
could not induce Van Hiz to settle. Mr.
’ Grover sued and secured a judgment 17
1 years ago. Ex-Judge Charles T. Lowen-
hoven took the papers in the case and
1 made an attachment on the fee due
Van Hiz. Grover got principal and
interest. “That’s a new way of cheat-
■ ing the hangman,” was Van Hiz’s re-
’ mark. __________________

A Minister Declares It to Be the

Boston, Mass., Sept. 11.—The Rev.
Isaac J. Lansing, D. D., discussed the
immorality of Boston at the meeting
of the Evangelistic Alliance last night
and asked all Christians to do what
they could to encourage General Mar-
tin in his reform of the Boston police.
Among other things, Dr. Lansing said:
“We need a revival on lines of con-
duct and life and law, rather than of
sentiment and doctrine. There is a
deluge of immorality sweeping over
this country. It is largely due to the
great foreign immigration. Our new
arrivals are threatening all our insti-
tutions. Crime against personal prop-
erty has been largely increased I am
also inclined to believe that there
has been a decay of truthfulness.
Men in courts will tell what they please
and no more. When it comes to the
social evil no one dares to look at the
state of affairs. I have not asked the
ministers what they think of it, the
social condition, but I have asked the
Divorce Annulled, and He Is
Long on Wives.
Guthrie, O. T., Sept. 11.—One of the
persons of prominence to be left in a
peculiar fix by the decision of the su-
preme court annulling divorces is Wm.
Depew of Boston, a cousin of Chauncey
M. Depew.
Mr. Depew came here last wintei’
and after a three months’ stay secured
a divorce from Rosella S. Depew on
the ground of incompatibility of tem-
per. With him came Mrs. Mary E.
Jordan of Boston, who, on the same
day of Mr. Depew’s divorce, procured
one from Charles H. Jordan in Boston.
The day following the two left for
Kansas City, where they were married,
and then went to Europe on a wedding
tour. Both are wealthy and prominent
society people and are now left in a
peculiar predicament.

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 11.—Mutiny is
brewing in the ranks of battery D. A
movement is on foot among the men to
refuse to put on their uniforms or to
drill again until they have received
what the state of Illinois owes them
for their services at the front during
the recent strike disturbances.
Some of them openly declare that in
case the governor should find it neces-
sary to call them out again they will
refuse to respond on the ground that
the state has failed to fulfill its part of
the contract, thus releasing them from
fulfilling theirs. It was with great
difficulty that the battery was kept
from -breaking away and refusing
to obey orders at the regular
weekly drills Thursday night. The
prevailing discontent was open-
ly manifested in the presence of
the officers, and if anything had hap-
pened to stir them up mutiny could not
have been averted. After the drill was
over a committee of ten called on Cap-
tain Alfred Russell in his office, and a
hot discussion of the situation followed.
He said at once that it was impossible
for him to do anything, and that he
was as anxious to get his salary as the
men were to get theirs.
A member of the committee asked
why battery D did not make an effort
to pay at least part of the money to re-
lieve the distress of some of the mem-
bers of the command who have lost
their positions or are for some other
reason in hard circumstances? The
captain replied that the association
was spending all the money it conld
get in paying the regular running ex-
penses of the armory, and the commit-
tee went away without having received
a grain of comfort. Since that time
the spirit of discontent has been grow-
ing rapidly and it is likely to bear fruit
next Saturday night in an open refusal
to drill.
The men have not yet decided as to
what plan they will follow, but it is
generally understood among them that
a fight of some kind will be made.
When the men marched in after the
close of the strike they expected to
draw their pay, about $60 to each
man, without any delay, and it
was the keenest disappointment to
them when they learned that the
money might not be forthcoming for
months. Discontent was kept in check
by the hope that some body of wealthy
men would take hold of the matter and
see that they got their pay. Last week
they lost hope of receiving any help
from this source and talk of mutiny has
since been freely indulged in.
The state government, however, has
done everything possible to secure the
payment of the men. The militia ap-
propriation being exhausted, no funds
will be available before the next ses-
sion of the legislature next winter, but
Governor Altgelt has offered personally
to guarantee the payment of all such
money advanced by bankers and others
pending the meeting of the legislature,
both as to principal and interest.

documents from Mr. Waller S. Baker, traveling* menwho know all the large
ex-chairman of the state democratic ex- " ~ —
ecutive committee, to whom the matter
had been referred. Chairman Mc-
Donald refused to recognize any letter
or communications except those re-
ceived by him direct, and stated that
Mr. Baker had told him personally,
while in Dallas, that the matter had
been decided in favor of Graham.
The question of holding a convention
to nominate candidates for county
offices was discussed at great length.
The member from the Ninth ward
said he thought it impractible to hold
a convention for that purpose as many
members had pledged their support
already.
The committeeman from the First
ward said the democratic party of Gal-
veston was getting very corrupt if the
members of the county executive-com-
mittee pledged themselves before the
committee had been together and be-
fore they knew who the regular
nominees of the party might be.
The committeeman was asked if he
had not pledged his support to any can-
didate. He finally admitted he had
promised to vote for one man, but only
one.
This seemed to settle the question
and it was decided not to nominate any
county officers except for members of
the legislature. *
Chairman McDonald called the pri-
maries for next Monday and the con-
vention for the nomination of legisla-
tors September 19 at Turner hall. The
ward books will be open Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings from
6.30 to 8.30 o’clock.
Mr. C. J. Allen was asked this morn-
ing regarding the contest between Mr.
Graham and himself. Mr. Allen said:
“In this morning’s News Captain
McDonald is quoted as saying that he
had received a letter from Mr. Waller
S. Baker deciding that Mr. Graham
was the duly elected member of the
county democratic executive commit-
tee from the Twelfth ward and that he
had so decided because two-thirds of
the delegates from that ward had the
right to select their own member of the
committee. It is very strange, to say
the least, that Mr. Baker should write
contradictory letters with reference to
this matter. The following was re-
ceived by me, and as can be seen is of
very recent date.
“‘Waco, Tex., Sept. 1, 1894.—C. J.
Allen, Esq., Galveston, Tex.—Dear
Sir: I return you all papers pertain-
ing to a political difference among
democrats in your county. My duties
were so onerous for some weeks before
the state convention that it was impos-
sible to reach yours and a few other
important matters. While I believe
both sides were inclined to waive the
question of jurisdiction and abide by
my decision, it may be that now my
tenure of office is at an end, all per-
sons interested may prefer to submit
the matter to my successor, that its set-
tlement may be strengthened by of-
ficial sanction whether he have juris-
diction or not. Regretting that this
matter has been unavoidably delayed,
I am, with great respect, yours truly,
[Signed] “ ‘Waller S. Baker’ ”
“It would appear from this letter
that Mr. Baker has not decided the
question, that he even questions his
jurisdiction in the matter, and the let-
ter further places two phases on the
question; either Mr. Baker did not
make the statement, as Captain Mc-
Donald says, or he has misrepresented
the matter to me. If, as the News
-says, Captain McDonald based his
opinion on Mr. Baker’s statement, and
Mr. Baker’s letter to me is not a for-
gery, there is an-explanation due from
somebody.
“As to the democratic rule being
that two-thii ds of the delegates from a
ward have the right to select its
member of the county executive com-
mittee, if such be the rule it is more
honored in the breach than in the ob-
servance, notably in the last campaign,
when the county convention selected
the member of the executive committee
from the Third ward over the protest
of the entire delegation from that ward.
If it was good democratic politics then
for the convention to elect its executive
i committee why is it not good demo-
; cratic politics for it to do so now? That
■ is exactly the reason why I was and
> am anxious for the chairman of the
state executive committee to decide
. this question so that the democrats of
s this county can have a slight assurance
at least of a rule established to prevent
: a dictator or a controller of a conven-
l tion to change its rule whenever it is
his pleasure or policy so to do.
“The delegation of the Twelfth ward
consisted of three members, one of
, whom was Mr. Graham. In order to
L have the two-thirds of the delegation
Mr. Graham had to vote for himself,
which I admit he had a perfect right
to do. Under these conditions the con-
vention elected me as a member of the
. county executive committee in the
. same manner and time, and with pre-
cisely the same vote that they elected
the balance of the committee. I have
addressed a letter to the Hon. Waller
S. Bakei’ asking him for a positive an-
I swer whether or not he has decided the

NOTICE.
Tliere Is No Limit to What Some of
Tliem Want.
A demure-looking iivcie woman en-
tered a drug store in the central part
of the city the other evening, says the
Courier-Journal, and asked the clerk if
they kept postage stamps. When an-
swered in the affirmative she pulled a
small pocketbook from her pocket, and
after looking through it, she said she
wanted five cents’ worth. The clerk
smiled and said that he could not give
her five cents’ worth, as they kept only
two-cent stamps. She picked up the
nickel, which she had laid on the coun-
ter, and started toward the door. She
stopped before she had reached it, and
looked around at the clerk, and said:
“Well, you people in this store are
the most unaccommodating persons I
ever saw, and I will never buy another
thing here as long as I live, and I will
tell everybody in the neighborhood
about you, too.” With that she rushed
out and slammed the screen door. The
last seen of her she was walking rapid-
ly up the street. When she had left
the clerk said that was only an example
of what took place every day. “Why,”
he said, “a woman came in to the
store the other day and complained
that we did not put enough mucilage
on our stamps, and then got perfectly
furious when I told her that we did not
make them ourselves. I’ll tell you,”
he continued, “such women are awful-
ly hard to get along with.”

A Little Leather Covered Book which
Tells the Story.
One of our correspondents has been
bo lucky as to fall in with a little
leather-covered book, like those of
t>ank depositors, which contains Dan-
iel Webster’s autograph record of his
legal receipts. This chronicle, says
the New York Evening Post, fills twen-
ty-eight pages and extends a little
more than from 1833 to 1836, inclusive.
The first entry, dated September in
the former year, is of $50, and the
second is of $20, for retainers on the
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee
of $1,000 was paid in May, 1834, by a
Mrs. Badger. Services regarding Cil-
ley’s will commanded $800. The total
amount for the first year was footed up
as $13,140, with the remark: “Septem-
ber 22, 1834, thus done and concluded.”
A similar summing up appears at the
close of each other year. The second
total is $15,183.74; the third is $21,703.
The first entiy of $2,000 was in 1835,
March 7; the first $3,000 December 7
in the same year. The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. The
largest single honorarium was $7£00. when he w still in the heyday of Ris

this record leading inetropol tan and as c^atest and most illustrious
even provincial lawyers are astonished
that Webster, already twenty years in
Boston, so undervalued his services.
He learned better at last. When Rob-
ert C. Winthrop looked up the earliest
date he said: “That’s just the time I
was ending my studies in Webster’s
office,” and the chirograph led him to
add that Webster never wrote a firm
hand. Nobody has surveyed the relic
with more interest than Dr. 0. W.
Holmes. Among other things he said:
“Had the influx been ten-fold, Web-

. The executive committee of the dem-
ocratic party of Galveston county met
in Judge Friery’s office last night.
Chairman McDonald presided and all
the members of the committee were
present.
After calling the meeting to order,
the chairman asked if it was the sense
of the committee to hold an open or
secret session. It was decided by a
vote to exclude newspaper reporters
and spectators.
From a member of the committee it
was learned that the first matter taken
up was the contest of Jeff Graham for
the seat of C. J. Allen as committee-
man from the Twelfth ward. It will
be remembered that Mr. Graham was
elected at the convention last spring
by two-thirds of the delegates from his
ward, while Mr. Allen received the
majority vote of the convention.
After discussing the matter for an
hour or more Chairman McDonald de-
clared Mr. Graham the nominee and
seated him as the representative of the
Twelfth ward.

whether he has any knowledge or
even inkling of the misfortunes that
have overtaken himself and his son
Charles. At any rate, he has given no
evidence thereof, and there is a gen-
eral disposition to hope that his once
grand intellect passed into its present
somnolent state in such a manner as to
havejspared him any such sorrow.

An Editor Missing.
Creston, la., Sept. 11.—The strange
disappearance of Seymour White, the
editor of the Shannon City Sun, who
left his home on August 24 on a short
business trip, remains as far from be-
ing explained as ever. His domestic
relations were happy and his business
affairs appear to have been in a pros-
perous condition. He was married
only a short time ago, and his wife is
prostrated with grief. The theory
generally is that he has been mur-
dered.

Take advantage of this offer. Call
at once at C. Janke & Co.,
northern boundary of the country with
a special view to learning all that he
can about the smuggling of opium and
Chinese over that border.
He was in St. Paul yesterday and is
in Duluth to-day. Wednesday he'will
be in Sault Ste. Marie, and Friday he
will reach Montreal, where he will be-
gin his examination into the working
of the regulations in regard to the re-
entry to the United States of Chinese
merchants who have gone out of the
, country and returned.
It has been pointed out that particu-
larly large numbers of these Chinamen
come in through the Burlington cus-
toms collection district, and Mr. Hamlin
will look into the matter very closely.
Montreal is the Canadian point of de-
parture for these Chinamen for the
United States, and they are temporarily
detained there while papers are sent to
the customs officers in Burlington for
examination. After completing his ex-
amination at Montreal, the secretary
will make a thorough examination of
the Burlington collection district. He
“ will be assisted by the chief of the spe-
cial agenfs of the treasury, who have
left Washington for the purpose of
joining Mr. Hamlin in Burlington.
Upon Mr. Hamlin’s report on the seal
fisheries will depend very largely the
course pursued by the government in
future in the way of limiting the num-
ber of seals to be killed annually on the
island. Some important recommenda-
tions will also probably be made on the
Chinese and opium questions. The de-
partment officials are anxious to show
the new tariff law workings in regard
to opium.
Under the McKinley law, with the
duty at $12 per pound, practically all
the drug brought into the United
States was smuggled, and now that the
duty has been decreased to $6 per
pound the treasury officials are anxious
to see whether there will be any de-
crease in the smuggling.
was shot and instantly killed at 2
o’clock this i
gan, a bartender, at a saloon located
at No. 2 State street.
Cantwell and two men, whose names
are not known and who escaped, en-
tered the saloon as the bartender was
counting the proceeds of the day’s sales
and demanded the money. Cantwell
was in advance of the others and cov-
ered the bartender with a revolver, at
the same time telling him to hand over
the money. Morgan hesitated and one
of the men went behind the bar to en-
force the demand. Morgan, who is an
ex-pugilist, quickly dodged behind the
bar, seized a revolver and blazed away.
The shdt struck Cantwell just over
the right ear and killed him instantly.
He fell to the floor of the saloon while
his two accomplices, without waiting
to secure the money, fled from the
room, Morgan sending a shot after
them, which did not take effect.
The reports of the pistol attracted
the attention of officers, who arrested
Morgan and locked him up to await
further developments.
