He also gave her a magnificent diamond brooch. Mrp. Huntington gave a diamond star, the central gem of which weighed twenty carats.

A gorgeous procession, escorted by an imposing array of cavalry, left the royal palace at 11 o'clock Sunday morning.Secretary, Mrs Marion Talbot, Brown oollege.Boston, Oct. 28.—A stabbing affray of more than ordinary brutality occurred Saturday afternoon over Pugilist John L. Sullivan, and in his presence, at Barber Hagarty's shop. Sullivan was getting shaved when Tom Shea, an ex-convict, who had been looking for Sullivan all day with murderous intent, entered the shop, and seating hiinsolf in the bootblack's chair, commenced a volley of curses and insults, which the champion returned. In the shop was James Kelly, am old time light weight pugilist. He was drunk almost to insensibility, had been with Sullivan and had heard of Shea's threats. New York, Oct. 28.—The World's special from Florence, Italy, says: "For nearly two years James G. Blaine has endured misrepresentation and abuse for suddenly rejecting a presidential nomination which, at last, was absolutely in his own hands. He has kept silent; he has striven to envelope in mystery his reasons for wr iting the Florence letter. The truth should be known. It does not reflect upon Mr. Blaine. It commands for him, on the contrary, the apologies of his querulous friends and the sympathies of his political opponents. The facts herein set forth belong to the history of American politics. Not by any means all the occurrences of that sad winter in Mr. Blaine's life are presented, because there is no wish to add to the sorrows of its recollection.

Growth of God's Work, The naval board which was considering the League Island navy yard has reported in favor of its permanent improvement as a ship building place, with dry docks, basins and plant for big and little guns, and all other necessary works. The cost will be over $14,000,000, and the board recommends about $1,500,000 to begin on. The builder of yards and docks approved the report, and asks $380,000 to bogin with. The excellent location of Phi ladelphia for the purposes and the importance of the navy yard for strategic purposes in case of war are set forth in the report. Brooklyn, Oct. 28.—Today took place the breaking ground ceremony for the new Brooklyn Tabernacle, on Clinton street, one of the most beautiful streets in America. Crowds gathered in and around the yard where the ceremony was observed, and neighboring pastors took part in the services. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D. D., made the following address: A Sketch of the Eminent Savant, Who Waa Prince Hatzfeldt's present was a beautiful ornament for the hair. It contained a single large and beautiful pearl, reinforced by a perfect forest of small diamonds. After the wedding the party took breakfast at the German embassay. The announcement of the death at hia home in Columns, 0., on Ftiday last, of Prof. Leo Lesquereux, the eminent bryologist and paleontologist, waa received here with much pain, on account of the many friends be had made in Pittiton while at various times prosecuting researches in the subject of coal fossils and kindred formations in this vicinity. Well Known Here. The Royal Guests. The guests occupying the carriages comprised the emperor and empress of Germany, the Empress Frederick, the king and queen of Denmark, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princesses Victoria and Moud of Wales, Marie of Greece, and Victoria and Margaret of Prussia; Prince Victor of Wales, the' prince of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the heredity prince and princess of Saxe-Meiningen and other members of the royal families, besides a goodly number of people of less exalted rank. Baseball Gossip from Boston. Sullivan's Stinging Tfiunt. A FATAL FEUD. That begins right which begins with God. That begins wrong which begins without Him. From first cut of spade till last ring of trowel, from deepest foundation stone to highest pinnacle, from this hoar when standing under the cloudy rafters, and amid the illumined walls of God's first temple—the world, to the hour when the people shall gather for dedication service under the roof of the new Brooklyn Tabernacle, we want to put all under the Divine direction. "In the beginning," says the opening passage of the best of books, as though to Impress all ages that we ought to look well to the genesis of every important work. DR. TALMAOK SIEAKS. Boston, Oct. 28.—Frank G. Selee has signed a contract to manage the Boston Baseball club next season. It is stated that the alleged purchase by the Cincinnati club of the release of Pitcher Nichols, of the Omahas, has fallen through, and that Nichols will sign with Boston. John F. Morrill, as agent for the Brotherhood, has secured a sixty days' refusal of a four acre lot on Huntington avenue for a new baseball park. President Soden says the Boston "triumvirs" are not backing the Brotherhood; that he is not at all worried by Brotherhood schemes; that he would like to see Brooklyn and Cincinnati in the League, but no other Association cities; that he is inclined to think that the Brotherhood players can be legally held by the "reserve" rule, and that the Boston club will do business at the old stand next season with a strong club, Brotherhood or no Brotherhood. Finally Shea put up his dukes in a scientilc manner and boldly dared the big fellow to get out of the barber's chair and meet him in a rough and tumble set-to. Sullivan refused to fight a man so much his inferior in size, and asserted tauntingly that Shea couldn't kill a mosquito and that any able bodied woman could "do him up." Two Men Killed and Several Dubuque, la., Oct 28.—A feud of many years' standing was settled near New Hampton by a general battle, in which two men were killed and several others wounded. Thomas Doud, his two soils, Peter McKenna and a number of other farmers had assembled at the farm of Albert Smith to assist him in a barn raising. Others Wounded Prof. Lesquereux «u born at Flenriar, Neufchatel, Nov. 18, 1806. His parents were French, belonging to the large claa of Huge* nots who had, three hundred year a before, neen foroed to leave France on acoount of religious persecutions. His father was a watohmaker and bis mother a devoted church woman. The one wanted Leo to become a mechanic, the other a minister. It was a mere circums ance that decided his career When a youth attending the aoademy at Neufchatel, lie made the acquaintance of a young man of congeuial habits, whose sole interest almost centered in science. The eompanion waa Guyot, afterwards the illustrious geographer and naturalist. The two studied together, became absorbed in the same investigations, and Lesquereux emerged a botanist. A Stroke of Paralysis. John G. Longijpn, the defaulting treasurer of the Swedish orphanage at Jamestown, N. J., has been sentenced to five years and one month in Auburn state prison. "Mr. Blaine had a stroke of paralysis brought on by a chill caught in tho St. Gothard tunnel. Mr. Blaine was prostrated at Milan for twenty-four days. With his convalescence appeared a most dissressing type of melancholia which fully developed after he reachod Florence. During this last stage of his long and pitiful illness, acting on the advice of a conscientious physician, Mr. Blaine wrote the letter of Jan. 25, 1888, withdrawing his name from the list of presidential candidates." The Blushing Bride. George A. Halsey, of Newark, N. J.. has declined the appointment President Harrison tendered to him to the vacancy in the Cherokee commission caused by the death of Gen. Hartranft. Following the line of carriages came a magnificent state carriage, drawn by six prancing black chargers, and containing Queen Olga, of Greece, and the blushing bride. Stung by the stingiug remark, Shea replied with a volley of sulphurious expletives, and called Sullivan a very uncomplimentary name. Sliea Dares Kelly. They worked together quietly until S o'clock in tho afternoon, when u dispute arose. Hot words passed, when without a moment's wurning Thomas Doud drew hit revolver and fired at McKenna, who was standing ten feet away. McKenna was hit in the forehead and the top of his head blown off. As he fell a man named Mulvihill, a friend of McKenna's, shot Doud through the lungs. Then the battle became general. How many other shots were fired cannot be learned. A posse of officers were sent out from New Hampton, and Doud's two sons and Mulvihill were brought into the town and locked up. Robes That Blared with Gems. "Your friend Kelly there is a man of my size. Lot him stand up and fight for you!" he howled. Stoneboro, Pa., a mining village of 1,200 inhabitants, was almost literally swept out of existence by fire. The loss is $150,000; partly insured. In the beginning of life, in the beginning of families, in the beginning of nations, in the beginning of churches. They who wait until the corner stone of a church is laid, wait until the church architecture is tixed, and the desigus are determined and the employes engaged, and t? ask God to decide things then would be to ask a miracle. That may be the reason why so many auditoriums are a defiance of aooustics, and so many buildings are cold and unsympathetic. The most brilliant of all the brilliant uniforms adorning the persons of royalty was that of the Emperor William, which, as well as the robes of the empress, fairly blazed with diamonds. There was great enthusiasm among the people, who thickly crowded the route of the procession. The wedding service was elaborate, and occupied an entire hour. Afterward the cortege returned by a different route, amid scenes of unabated demonstrativeness on the part of the populace. The marriage was then solemnized again, according to the simple Lutheran rite, in the king's private chapel. Kelly's dull eyes flashed with rage at the insulting words and reeling across the shop, he picked up a razor belonging to Barber Joseph Allorio, examined it, and coolly felt of its edge with the ball of his thumb. No one paid especial attention to him, and no one imagined his intent. Shea meanwhile was sitting in the chair, with his head down and his hands upon his knees while Bootblack Samuel Williams polished his shoes. Would Have Cost Him His Life. Jacob W. Odenwilder, ex-register of Willis, Northumberland county, Pa., has been arrested on a charge of having taken about $7,000 of tbf state's funds while in office. He was held in $12,000 bail for trial. The article goes on to say that Dr. Baldwin, the physician who attended Mr. Blaine during his last illness, says that Mr. Blaine wrote the letter of declination at his urgent advice; that it was a matter of life and death with bim. The doctor says: "I will never tell v hat was the matter with Mr. Blaine, further than to say that his trouble was functional, not apoplectic. But it was grave—of the utmost gravity. For him to have gone into the excitement of a summer and fall campaign such as would have followed his nomination would have cost him his life. I am certain of that. It is a matter as far removed from the realm of doubt as we are from Madison square." Defe'ated by Outlaws. The Cherokee Indian oommission is urging Secretary Noble to drive out the cattle men from the Cherokee strip. If this is done the commissioners think the Indians may be induced to give up their lands. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 38.—Sheriff Morris, of Blount county, with a posse of forty men, surrounded Kube Burrows,a noted outlaw and train robber, and one of his gang near Brooksville, Blount county. The outlaws killed Henry Anderton and Penn Woodward, of the posse, wounded six others and esca]Ded. The sheriff and his posse were armed only with shotguns and pistols, while the outlaws had Winchester rifles of large caliber. They fired on the posse at a distance of 200 yards, and the shots from the offlcers4 guns and pistols fell short. Burrows and his man had been in the "icinity tD Dr two days. They took to the mountains and made good their escape. Sheriff Morris came here after arms and assistance. God could not answer the belated prayers and make the church what it ought to be without demolition of all that had been done. It is useless to ask the Lord to make the church a blessing to the people, if already lack of ventilation has decreed asphyxia, and disturbing echoes are waiting in the new corridors ready to spring out upon sermon and psalm, and the modes of ingress and egress are a provocation. In the beginning, and while yet no architectural plans are adopted, and no craftsmen are engaged, and all is yet undetermined, let us implore divine guidance. Lesquereax received a thorough education. His completing course was taken at the University of Berlin. In preparation for the entranoe to this he entered the school at Weimar. While there be met an old gentleman of scientific mind whose acquaintance he soon formed. The old gentleman had a daughter, teo and she were thrown frequently into each other's society and the result was that an attachment sprang up between them. Upon his leaving Weimar he resolved to ask her lather's consent to their marriage. He approached him with a lover's uausl timidity, and was about to broach the important topio when the latter Interrupted and asked Leo if be didn't want to [be driven home in the family coach. Leo assented and on this drive was obtained the necessary sanction of the A Great Lumber Firm in Trouble. Before the horrified spectators could interfere or shout a word of warning to the doomed man,' Kelly, razor in hand, was at Shea's side, and, without a word of warning, he plunged the blade deep into Shea's neck, on the right side. A stream of blood spurted from a wound three inches wide at the broadest part, and covered the coat of Williams. Shea sank, face forward, to the floor, and Kelly deliberately as ever placed the razor back where he got it. This had all happened so quickly that 114) one fully realized what had been doue until the colored bootblack cried out: "My God, he's murdered him!" Kelly's Murderous Work. Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—Notes of tho great lumber firm of Wain Wright & Bryant have gone to protest, and judgments have been entered aggregating $157,000. Themaiu office of Wainwright & Bryant is in this city, and they have extensive sawmills and timber lands at Brookville, the center of the Jefferson lumber region. Charles H. Elliott, who has negotiated most of the paper that is out, says the total indebtedness will not exceed $200,000; that the assets are nearly if not quite $800,000, and that no circumstances can drive the house into bankruptcy at this The recommendations of the board which examined the Juniata and Quinnebaug that they he sold have not been approved by the secretary of the navy. The tugs Pilgrim and Rescue, Monitor and Saugus, have been condemned. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Duke of Sparta brought his wife from the royal palace to hig own palace, amid the cheers of the people. The bride, pale, but smiling graciously, acknowledged the greetings of the throug with becoming grace. All the diplomats present in Athons were invited to the banquet in honor of the occasion in the evening at the duke's palace. It was a brilliant affair, and the display of wedding presents was a dazzling one. Chief among these were the gifts of the czar, consisting of a set of brilliants, a silver aud crystal tea set and a captain's uniform of the Neva regiment for the duke. Preaents from the Czar. Alleged Mysterious Conduct, Kittie Creighton, aged 25, a disreputable woman, was found dead in the establishment kept by James Kiernan, at 385 Grand street, Jersey City. Mr. Blaine stopped at the Hotel de Florence, at Washington, no one was allowed to see him but his physician, and Mr. Blaine was much depressed and acted strangely. He then went to Milan where even more seclusion was practised and Mr. Crane, the American consul, even did not know Mr. Blaine had been there until after his departure. Ho stopped at Milan twenty-four days. He looked very ill. Michael M. Holland, colored, of the District of Columbia, has been appointed by Secretary Wiudom chief of division in the office of the second auditor of the treasury. Brooklyn Tabernacle now moves on. Like the Israelites of old, We are led by a pillar of fire by nigbt, and I remember that pillar conducted them to the Promised Land. We put our church here because it is as near as we can get to the center of our congregation. We were central when we planted our former church where it was, but Brooklyn has moved on and moved up and moved out, and so great and grand are the prospects of our beloved city that the church now on the utmost city limits will after a while be far this side of the center, and the tides of our municipal life will meet the incoming tides of the ocean. TBS TABERNACLE MOVES ON. time. Passaic, N. J., Oct. 28.—The liandsome new Catholic church here was dedicated Sunday with imposing ceremonies. Bishop Wigger preached the sermon, and the mayor and common council were present in a body. Father Sheppard has not only succeeded in paying off a mortgage of $18,000 on the old church edifice and building the new church, the estimated value of is $100,000, but has also built a rectory, houses for the sisters of charity and a parochial school. Passaic's New Catholic Church, The firm becamo temporarily embarrassed through losses occasioned by the recent floods. The judgments will not be executed, and the action of President Simpson will in no way interfere with the business of the firm, x Gen. Lord Wolseley has accepted the invitation to take port in the unveiling of a monument at Richmond, Va., to the late Gen. Robert E. Lee. The Champion's Sorrow. Wildest excitement prevailed at onoe, Some of the occupants bent over the wounded man and washed away the blood which welled up in a flood from the horrible gaping wound. John L. himself, his face still covered with lather, sprang from his chair at the first inkling of murder and did what he could for the dying man. Shea was unconscious, but Sullivan tried to make him hear, and said: "I'm sorry, old man, I'm Dr. Georgio Fornona attended him. This gentleman states, as The World's story relates, that Mr. Blaine suffered from a severe attack of paresis, "not exactly paralysis, but closely allied to it—a mild form, perhaps, would describe it." It Was Paresis. The pope has sent Miss Caldwell a valuable present and an autograph letter on the occasion of her approaching marriage to Prince Murat. San Francisco, Oct. 28.—Under the data of Oct. 9 the United Press correspondent at Samoa confirms the cable dispatch stating that Mataafa was elected king by the various chiefs to sorve as such until the agreement entered into by the three foreign powers should go into effect. Then, if necessary, a new election will be held. The followers of Tamasese withheld their assent. A number of Mataafa's men were attacked on the island of Savali by a band of Tamasese's followers. In retaliation Mataafa sent 100 warriors from Apia on Oct. 10 to the island of Savali to punish the Tainasese men. It is believed that a conflict between them took place. From JUatnofft'a Kingdom. After the completion of his uriversity career the young man took hia bride to Fleuner, where, in view of the lofty Alps, he gained a livelihood by teaching French, at the same lime prosecuting his studies of mosses and fossil botany. About this time the subject of peat bogs began to be popularly agitated. Pfat was then one of the principal fuels in the vicinity, and the government was deeply interested in its proteotion. Lesquereux took up the study, brought to bear on it the power-. union PRINCE8S SOPHIA. Many Seamen Drowned. Strict Secrecy Enjoined. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 28.—A special from Kittyhawk reports the following vessels lost in last Wednesday's storm in that vicinity: The schooner Francis 8. Walters, of Baltimore, was found floating bottom up at Nag's Head, and her entire crew were drowned. The schooner Frank M. McGear was wrecked near Whale's head, but her crew wore saved. Five of the crew of the Lizzie 8. Haynes, wrecked near Body's Island, were drowned, but the captain and steward were saved. Two of the dead bodies were washed ashore and buried. The schooner A. E. Blackman capsized two miles off Bhore, and the only man saved was Capt. Charles Edwards, who swam to New Inlet. In Memory of King Lain. sorry.' "Madam Blaine followed me into the hall. I told her that I thought immediate danger was past, and I repeated some of the directions before given. The lady then said: 'You must not mention the name of your patient to anybody.' 'How can I, madam, when I do not know it?' I replied. Then she told me that the sick man was James G. Blaine, of the United States, and I instantly knew who he was." We also plant our new church here because it is a street of gardens and umbrageous trees. The only time that God is represented as walking on earth at all, he is said to have walked "in the garden in the oool of the day." The world started with a garden and will close with a garden. All up and down the Bible the church is compared to a garden. In the garden of Oethsemane Christ wept, and he appeared to Mary Magdalene in the costume of a gardener, and our Lord's tomb was in the garden of Joseph Arimathea. What more appropriate place could we find for our church than a street of gardens! Providence, R I., Oct. 28.—In a little wooden church, heavily hung with black and relieved only by the colorB of the ensigns of the United States and Portugal, a curious ceremonial was performed Sunday in a foreign tongue, over an empty coffin. It was in memory of King Luis of Portugal, in Father Serapa's Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, and the chief observers were the mei. itDera of the Portuguese Beneficial society of this city. Turning to Kelly, whose face was now deadly pale, Sullivan said: "What are you up to? You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Who asked you to defend me? Ain't I able to take care of myself? Better get right out of-here. Now clear out." ExcUIhk Fire at Glasgow London, Oct 28,—There was an exciting fire at Glasgow early Sunday morning. The wool market was destroyed, and the flames spread to a number of thickly peopled lodging houses surrounding the market building. There was an extensive panic among the thousand of inmates, and at least 300 persons rushed into the street clad only in their night clothing, and without saving any of their effect*. A number of them were more or less bruised and hurt, but no serious casualty is reported. The toss on the market building and dwellings u heavy. Sullivan took hold of the murderer and hustled him into the street, locking the door on the A big crowd speedily gathered outside, and a moment after the police of station 5 arrived and arrested the occupants of the shop as witnesses.

He went, and the result was a friendship which oontinued until Agatsiz's death. Soon after the government offered a gold medal for the best treatise oa the form Ction and reproduction of peat Leequei-eux entered a competing essay, essly took.the prise, and with it won s reputation that speedily established him as one of the foremoet scientists of the day. He was admitted ti the faculty of the Academy of Neufchatel and received on equal terms by both Agauiz and Guyot. Two Men Lynched, "His condition was not much changed, save that there was a little more color in his face. His temperature was slightly better also. He again made efforts to speak and uttered guttural sounds. He took broths and beef tea, which had been prepared. He remained there about a week." "How did you find him next morning!" Huntington, W. Va., Oct. 38.—News has been received from Hamilton, Lincoln county, that on Friday night a mob surrounded the county jail, took from the custody of the officials Green McCoy and Milton Haley, and hanged them to a tree on the outskirts of the town. The two men were arrested on the charge of shooting A1 Bloomfield and his wife in Lincoln county about three weeks ago, and were brought to West Virginia on a requisition last Thursday, arriving at Hamlin on Friday morning. Toronto, Ont., Oct. 28.—The 72-hour bicycle race has closed here. Only two remained in the race—Rhodes and Desmond. Quigley, who led when the race adjourned Friday night, did not show up, owing to over exertion. At 11 o'clock when time was called the spore stood: Rhodes, 919 miles 4 laps; Desmond, 883 miles 11 laps. Rhodes has beaten the record for 72 bows, which stood previously at 904 miles. Klcyelist Rhodes Breaks the Recordi WHAT THE CHURCH WILL SLAPfD FOR. War Ships at Honolulu. As we break the ground today for a new church let me state what this church will stand for; Evangelism, liberty of conscience, Christian pa|riotism, charity, righteousness toward God and honesty toward man. May (t be a great place for the cure of heartaches I May its windows look into the next world as well as this I May all the children baptized here become the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty! May all the marital oaths taken at these altars be kept until death does them parti May there be a revival of pure religion here which shall roll on without interruption until Christ desoends through the wide opening heavens I May the Lord God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and Joshua, and Paul, and John Knox and John Wesley and Hugh Latimer and Bishop Mo- Ilvane take possession of this ground and all that shall be built upon it I San Francisco, Oct. 38.—According to advices received from Honolulu there are four American war vessels there—the Iroquois, Mohican, Nipsic and Alert. Admiral Kimberly will probably remain there witli the vessels until after the coming election in the Hawaiian kingdom. Two of the men who recently attempted to overthrow the government have been found guilty. Wlloox, the leader, has not yet been tried. He testified in behalf of the two convicted men—a Belgian named Loomens and a Chinaman—and declared that he had not engaged in rebellion, but was trying to protect the king. Lokdo*, Oct 28.—While the Unionist candidate was addressing a meeting at Camborne be was assailed with stones ai: d bad eggs and finally driven from the platform. The mob then "reorganized" the meeting and unanimously adopted a resolution that the constituency was satisfied with the record of Mr. Conybeare, the Liboral member for that district KgK«d by Conybeare's Friends. "I had nothing to do with this affair and I want ray ffiends to know it," Sullivan said to a reporter. "I'm sorry for Shea, even if he did try to shoot me. I don't think he really meant to do it He had a bad record, and everybody knows it, but that was no reason fpr Kelly to kill him. Ho tried tc draw Kelly on, but Kelly had no right to use a razor on him. Kelly is a lighter himself, and could have shut Shea up with his fists. Kelly thought he was doing me a service in attacking Shea, but I guess I'm able to take care of myself without calling on my friends. As I said, I'm awfully sorry for Shea." Despondent and Hypochondriacal. The doctor then states that his patient became very despondent mentally and was absolutely hypochondriacal. The patient again and again bemoaned the fact that his political career was ended, and one afternoon he announced that he should cable his friends that he was hopelessly sick. The physician dissuaded him stating that his illness was but temporary, and that he was in no state of mind to take such important action. Mr. Blaine became childish and imagined he could no longer correctly write his name. He finally recovered and went back to Florence a comparatively well man, the doctor thinks. To Recommend Marine Postal Clerks. A New Railroad to Be Built. Washington, Oct 28.—Postmaster General Wanamaker in his forthcoming report will recommend that postal clerks be placed on the principal steamers that ply between the ports of the United States and Europe similar to those on railway trains. The German government has been in correspondence with the postmaster general on the subject, and he will ask congress for an appropriation to carry his recommendation into effect Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 28.—Aniwrailroad is to be built which will shorten the distance from Philadelphia to ixmg Branch about fifteen miles. It will rut. from Trenton to Point Pleasant. It will traverse a part of Burlington county, near Crosswicks. The repair shops will be at Allentown, whose citizens have subscribed $25,000 to the capital stock of the road, which is to be completed by June 1, 1890. In 1848 the Geneva Revolutionary Council abolished the Academv, and the trio were, so to speak, thrown out of an occupation. The country was, at that time, rife with political excitement and rumor* of further revolutions. It was no place for the three men of science, and they resolved to oome to America. The decision was a fortunate one for all concerned, Agaasiz came first. Two years later  reux and Guyot followed. Their first abode was Boston. Later Lesquereux removed to Columbus, 0. It was at this period of hi* life that he lost his heating. Most men would have regarded this misfortune as a terrible blow. Not so he. "It is to that," he says, "that I owe much which I have done. My deafness cut me off from everything that lay outside of science. I have lived with Nature, the rocks, the trees, the flowers. They know me, I know them. All outside are dead to me." Socialists Like Tliem Not. London, Oct 28.—Mr. Tillett, the able lieutenant of John Burns in the recent London dockmen's strike, is carrying on a vigorous Socialistic propaganda and work of organization in the large cities of the United Kingdom. His latest and most successful efforts have been at Bristol. The regular radical Socialists do not give a hearty support to the movement initiated by Burns and Tillett.

"Did he have a relapse at Florencef" Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—The check forger known as Albert Sutherland, suspected of being Tascott, the Chicago murderer, admits that his name is not Sutherland, but beyond this nothing has been learned as to his identity. His photograph has been mailed to the Chicago police. An ivory handled revolver, such as is mentioned in the Tascott descriptions, has been found among the prisoner's effects; also a deposit book of the National German-American bank of St. Paul, bearing the name of W. K. Milliken. G. A. King, a Chicago salesman, who know Tascott slightly, has seen the prisoner and says there is a resemblance, but he cannot positively identify the man. There is a general resemblance between the prisoner's handwriting and specimens of Tascott's. "I know not. If he had a return of the melancholia it would account for his letter, to my mind. Mental treatment was what I most relied on in his case. Medicines weren't of much value." We have but one regret in breaking ground on this spot, and that is, that this grand and beautiful tree on my left must be cut down to make room. The tree seems sad and its leaves are a little tremulous, and there are voices within us which become recitative, saying; "Woodman, spare that tree!" What America greatly needs today is not more trees cut down, but more trees planted. He who needlessly slays a tree is an assassin. The kingdom of God is to be a kingdom of trees: "Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree." And "all the treee of the wood are to clap their hands." And in Revelation the angel cries out: "Hurt not the trees!" There must be some good reason for laying the ax to the root of such a pillared glory, or it would not be done at all. But perhaps we may atone for the deed by putting here what Isaiah calls "The trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord." Fataltles at a Fire. An Kmbezzler Commits Suicide. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 28.—A lodging house at No. 186 Edward street, West St Paul, was burned, and Mrs. Catherine Clifford, owner of the premises, cremated.

Berlin, Oct 28.—The National Zeitung declares that Turkey occupies a solid position in the European concert, and enjoys the protection guaranteed by the treaty of Berlin.

No man ever accomplished more in the study of coal botany as developed bj the excavations of anthracite mining than he. His writings on this subject evidence a deep, almost tender, interest. Says State Urologist J. P. Leslie in the preface to volume P 4 (Dictionary of Fossils), reports of the Seoond Geological Survey: "If Viigil was deified by Rome for the gift of his Aeneid, Leo Leequereux should be canonized by Pennsylvania for that poom of poems, The Flora of CoaL'" Prof. Le«queraux visited Pittston many times, was a warm friend of Mr. R. D. Lacoe, with whom he remained aa an honored guest, and was always greeted with uinoere pleasure and hearty welcome. In all bis associations with his fellow scientists and all others with whom his researches brought him in contact, be was kindly, oourteou? and affable.
