Bessie Turner ian the Lecture Field.


Miss Bessie Turner, one OF the P)ym-
outh Church imbroglio appeared before
thin audience in WIeting Opera House
last evening. At a quarter past o'clock
there was II ruStling of silks, and per-
feet personliicatlOn of the photog raphs
distributed about our city-and which
have received no few compliment
tarv comments from those who
have discovered them-marched quick
lv to the front of the stage, and
dropped her manuscript on the corner of
the stand covered witha red table spread
There was considerable majesty in the
figure, and her toilet was made in the
height of fashion. Her robe was made of
handsome magenta silk en- train, trim-
med with black lace overskirt, the arms
being covered with figured lace. She had
diamond ear rings, wore no finger rings,
and her dark hair was dressed high on
the head. a jauaty triZz or two dropped
bcwitchingly over her forehead, and made
up in briet her costume.
She will probably curtail some Of the

figure exceeding ~ >IH. the expectations
OF her auditors, she bowed, and proceeded
with her reasons why Sue does not
speak spir,,rdry, yet her style is not un-
pleasant She did not often refer TO her
notes. Her reasons were well committed,
and she presented them sometimes with
little noticeable vanity and a vein of
sarcasm which pleased. She spoke dis
tnctly, and her gestures, though not
many, seem well placed to enforce her
points.
Those, we think, who went feeling in
tereSted To know what were exactly her
"reas0nS why were not disappointed
that they didn't find out. They were
prepared to hear whatever she had to ut

Conference Between pittsburgh
Puddlers and Manufacturers.

PITTSBURGH, February l3.-Yesterday
was the date agreed upon by the pud-
dlers and iron manufacturers two months
ago, for renewal of the conference in
regard to the price to be paid for boiling
iron. The meeting was held with closed
doors, but was harmonious throughout,
both sides appearing very anxious to
avoid lockout at the present time. At
the adjournment the following agree
ment was drawn up and signed
by both sides: As far as their
trade will warrant the mills will
continue In operation. The price for
boiling for the present shall be suspend
ed. The Conference Committee shall
meet again on Monday, February q, at
o'clock P. NJ, and if price shall then
be agreed upoa it shall date from Febru-
arv II. Should the Conference however
fail to agree upon fixed price all work
done in the meantime shall be at "a 10
per ton.

TIE Courlcr-JouTnaps head is quite
level when it gets to discussing the Rad
ical party. 1t says:
"The Republicans have tried their
hands at government organizing in vari-
eus WAYS, and have invariably made de-.
plorsble failures. The party has shown
lis utter incspscity for government by
IFS revolutionary performances in the
Southern States, and in the District of
Columbia Its failure to est2b ish Il
decent government in the latter place is
noticeable in the fact that, since
the new organization in 1871, a debt of
S23, ,OO0, 600 has been saddled on the Dis
trlct, and contractors rings and ring
steaings have been the order of the day
Wherever, in fact, the Republican party
hss succeeded in obtaining foothold,
there we find robbery, defalcation and
forgery. 1t seems impossible for this
great moral organization to keep from
stealing.

to influence the executive selection of any
officer involved in the so-called whisky
ring; that he had not interfered in any
manner to cause the suspension Of the
celebrated order forthe transfer of Super
visors, but that its revocation was directed
BY the President himself, in order that,
the suspicion being removed from the
minds Of those engaged in the frauds,
they might more readily be detected in
their efforts TO cheat the Government out
of the revenue on distilled spirits; that
the President stillhss implicit confidence
in the integrity of General Babcoek. and
is satisfied with his explanation of the
dispatches, which formed so important
an element in his prosecution.

Of Importance. Whatever its object IT
seemed to have been directed more
against the President than Bsbcock. It
however, developed the fact that If
there had been anything wrong on the
part Of that sfficer, which the President
emphsticslly said be did not believe, twas
without the knowledge of the executive.
The President said that during the
twelve years that Babcock had been in
timately associated with him, no had not
learned anything calculated to impair
confidence in his integrity. The testi-
mony is declared TO be strongly in favor
Of Bsbcock's honesty.

ST. Louis Special to the Chicago Tribune.
Babcock was mercilessly stared at from
the time of his entrance TO the ADJOURN
ment of the court. Every movement
and expression of his WAS watched with
intense eagerness, and while the district
attorney was.reading the indictment, and
while in the middle Of those parts OF his
speech which looked 50 damaging to
Babcock, the defendant betrayed un-
usual excitement, pulling nervously
ut his moustache and moving un'
easily in his seat. Frequently
his tace flushed Occasionally he would
hold his hand to his cheek and gaze in
tently and rather detiantly at Col. Dyer,
whose whitening charges fell upon the
audience with electric force, and here
and there made people start from their
seats as if they were amazed at his bold
and pitiless srraignment OF one who had
held such confidential and important
trusts. Once or twice he turned to his
counsel and smiled, but it was not brave
smile by any means, and had more the
appearance of an effort to maintain his
temper or courage than anything else.
