The officials of th* department who have come in contact with hlni says ha takes hold of business rapidly, and that ha shows a disposition to make himself familiar with the organization of the department and its methods of work.

Pittsburg, March 9.—Those "crazy orphans" at the McAllisterville, Pa., soldien orphans' school have turned out to he frauds and their crazy actions a sham. State Senator Greer, inspector of the soldiers orphans' schools, has been investigating the matter, and his report is extremely interesting. The boys have all confessed, much to the confusion of the wise and snowy haired doctors who diagnosed the cases. Inspxitor Greer has the written confessions of twenty-foui boys who played crazy. London, March 9.—A banquet was giver by the Eighty club last evening in honor ol Lord Spencer. Mr. Lock wood presided.

Lord Spencer, In responding to the toast tc his health, congratulated Mr. Parnell upor the vindication of his character against attacks which in vehemeooe and wicked nesi surpassed any that had over been madC •gainst a living man. They admired Mr. Parnell's forbearance, dignity and patience qualities so worthy in 4 great leader, and they wanted to see full reparation done. H« thought the government would have difficulty in clearing themselves of the ohargs ol complicity with The Times. He dealt a length with Irish affairs, and expressed con fidtnce that Mr. Gladstone would live tc carry Cm improved home rule bill, In response to loud cries for a speech Mr. Parnell rose to his feet and was greeted witt enthusiastic cheers. He referred to Lore Spencer as the herald of Mr. Gladstone'! policy of conciliation, and said that his opin ion was worth more than the judgment of t hundred mushrooms like Balfour, a man whe was here today and who would be gone to morrow, who brought to the task of governing Ireland not a single characteristic o| statesmanship or genius and whose only ob ject was to remain in office as long as possible. Lord Spencer, after all his experience had acknowledged the truth of what he him self maintained, that the only way to goveri Ireland within the constitution is to ajlow hej to govern herself in all matters that do noi interfere with the well being of the rest ol the empire, with which Ireland is indissolu j bly linked.

The variety of Capt. Ericsson's work is only lesi remarkable than its intrinsic importance, His inventive genius has brought out pan discoveries in every department of mechanics, and he has received honors from everj country of the world. A youth named Gus Spitler was the originator of the famous disease. In the dormi. tory one evening after the boys had retired, he was hurling pillows, when somj buy cried, "Put him out; he's crazy." Suiting the aotion to the suggestion, he played crazy sc well that the alarmed boys called the principal »"H doctors. His confession recites hit antics, and how be oftea laughed at his success. When the doctor batlud him with cold water he shivered with eo.d, but thought it would not do to admit that ha W43 playing off. No Disruption In tlie Irish league. Marlboro, Mass., March 9.—Rsv. P. A. McKenna, president of the Irish National league in America, was seen and interviewed concerning the published reports of dissension and ill feeling in the ranks of the league. He said: "We are uot at aloes for an explanation of the origin of the rumors of dissension. The enemies of the Irish cause have started these rumors. Failing in their last attempt to disrupt the serried Irish ranks on the other side, they renew the attempt on this side. The bitterness of the opposition is made strongei by the resolution which the league has just adopted and to whicfl the official attention o( congress is to be called. This resolution call! for an investigation and explanation of th« uses to which the secret service fund of England is applied in this country. Action will be urged immediately." Father McKenns declares there is no truth In the allegations of dissensions. Organizing for the Fight, As soon as the postmaster general gets settled down to work he will discover a nice legacy left by his predecessor in the shape ol over 1,300 postmasters to be appointed and commissioned to as many vacant offices.

The purpose ol the convention is the thorough organization of the county to ensure a majority for tlu amendment. Like Spitler, the other boys tell all thai transpired during their seeming crazy spells. In their confessions the boys my the motives inspiring them were to have lun and have their meals carried to them. Their ages range from 10 to 1(5 years, and their testimony is clear and convincing. Each one sayi that he has plenty to eat, has good clothe: and kind treatment, Air. Roberts' bill (which is a copy of the New York law) providing far the better gaiety of persons attending theatres and I other places of amusement, by compalling all theatres to have sufficient and safe exits in case of fire or panic, was made a spjoiii order for second reading on Monday and third reading on Tuesday next.

Simon Cameron, the veteran statesman, celebrated the ninetieth anniversary of his birth yesterday. The veteran is enjoying excellent health ami dispensed his well known hospitality to the scores of friends who tendered their congratulations. The members of both houses of the legislature visited the old mansion on Front street in a body, and collectively and individually expressed the most sincere wish thai his life might long be spared. Gen. Cameron was born in Lancaster, Pa., on March 8, 1799, and to judge by his present vigorous condition bids fair to reach the hundredth mil» stone. To make his investigation as thorough as possible, the inspector received lengthy statements from Rev. Mr. Lowey, of the Presby terian church; Rev. Mr. Lusher, of the Lutheran church; Judge Smith, Judge Watte (now postmaster) and a number ol other reliable citizens, including Grand Army men. They express words of praise for botli the school and the appearance of the children. The report of Senator Greer proves that tlm school has been unjustly abused. •1 styUi tiu d-e pUC» l«it- After looking at several desirable residences Postmaster General Wanamaker has finally determined upon Secretary Whitney's pleasant house, No. 1731 I street, formerly the residence of the Frelinghuysens, and at one time the residence of Senator Don Cameron.

You might flud among yourselves some great Englishman or Scotch man who would go to Ireland (her parlia mentary representation having been takei from her) and do justice to her people, despio the complaint of Irish landlordism. Buch i method, however, must be outside of the ooq qtitution altogether, and your Irish governoi must have full power to impartially deal witt }°P4 «M»4 peneaat That, in my judg ment, has always been the only alteraativt concession to our reasonable demands." NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE, A Strictly Party Vote on the Werts Li- cense BUI. Trenton, March 9.—Despite the many predictions to the contrary, the Werts bill has been advanced as far as the senate can put it. The session was the first held in many years on a Friday, and was for the solo purpose of passing the measure.

When the senate met at 11 o'clock Mr. Smith, of Sussex, said he was not prepared to vote for the bill and moved to lay it over. This pleased the Republicans, but the party goad was applied, and Senator Smith did not press his motion. Eleven Democrats voted for the bill and ten Republicans against it, Mr. Gardner, of Atlantic, who is finishing his tweltth year in the senate, made the argument for the minority and said that as the Democrats last year fought the local option bill because it was unconstitutional, and not because they did not like it, tie could not understand why they objeoted to it now, after the courts, by saying it was. constitutional, had removed their only objection. Lord Rose berry, in proposing a vote a thanks, also congratulated Mr. Parnell. Baseball In Paris. I'm Bent or Male.

Philadelphia, Marcl} 9.—The agents ,of the anthracite coal producers will meet next week for the purpose of tlxing the spring schedule of prices. It is believed that tho meeting will be brief, but that the action taken will be important. A general reduction in prices will probably be made. It is proposed that the changes shall range from thirty to thirty-flve cents per ton on the various grades and sizes of coal. This is usually done at this time of the year. As soon as spring trade opens the coal companies will have more orders, and Bome of the idle colleries will start up again.

In the morning noticeable symptoms were developed in seventeen of the boys, and they were remanded tjD the infirmary for examination. Seventy Tears a Soldier. Senator Edwards explained the object of tfie amendments made in the original bill. He said that as far as the high license features were considered this measure and the present law are alike, but the "Baker clauses" made a much fairer measure. In cities and towns having an excise board the people can vote to have men on the boards who will fix the fee to suit the voters. If they do not do so, others can be eleoted who will In cities all license fees go to the municipalities and he thought townships should have their fees. Therefore, when this bill provided that each township could have an election to fix tfie liquor lee for that township, and gave to that township the exclusive right to the fee thus fixed, it went further toward enlarging the rights and helping the people then any law has ever yet done.
