encess,ons To the German Catho,ies


a The North German Gazette of Berlin says:
'Of late the confidence previously felt in
satisfactory result of the negotiations between
Prussia and the Vatican has been shaken, and
the Prlissian government has consequently re-
solved to make its Catholic subjects sponfane-
ously and without regard to any return on the
part of the Vatican, such concessions as are
possible without prejudice to the interests of
State, and also to obtain from the Diet discre-
tionary powers relative to the application of
the May laws"

that it will depend upon the attributes oflthe

sion societies. The society criticise the treat
ment of the Indians by the government very
sharply. Continuance of Chinese Missions in
California and Oregon is urged, and ibarbarous
treatment of the Chinese by nominally Chris
tan people strongly deprecated. The work
among the freedmen is prospecting and spread
ing. The demand for church extension in the
West is so pressing that the board say at least
fifty churches, costing $1,000 to $3.50 each,
should be erected during the next five years.
They ask for specific purposes during the year
to come as follows: Freedmens educational
work, $40, 900; general missionary work, $685.,

aries West, $4,000: for Germans, $4,000; for
Scandinavians, $4,000: for French, $4,000; flor

ese, $1,000.

Striking Miners.

LEADvILLE, May 26.-In regard 10 the strike
of the miners lite or nothing was rmored as to
the movement until it developed itself in force.
The wages paid are from So to $3.50 per day
At Z o'clock Wednesday morning 406 men APP
peared at the Chyrsolite and ordered out the
men. After some consultation the demand
was complied with and the men joined the
strikers, who proceeded to Iron Carbonate and
Breeze hills. At night not man was at any
of the mines. 1t is estimated that 5000 men
are participating in the movement, whilst
5000 other miners are remaining quiet at home.
All the prominent places are strongly guarded.
The excitement is feverish. Michael Mooney,
a Mollie Mcguire from Pennsylvania, is at the
head of the movement. Thus far there has
been no violence, and it is hoped no serious re-
suits will follow, although the managers gen.
orally show a resolution not to yield to the de-
mands of the strikers.
LEADvILLE, May ga large parade of the
striking miners took place to-day. A meeting
was also held and resolutions were adopted ex-
pressing determination to insist upon the de-
mand f.$4 per day of eight hours. Many mine
owners are equally determined not to accede
under any circumstances.

Sometimes in the Herald rooms one may see
the indefatigable newspaper scribbler, whilom
lecturer, ambitious theatrical artist and dra-
matte critic, and aspiring society woman, Olive
Logan. Olive is stout, matronly lady, with
long, colorless eyelashes, girlish golden hair,
often a dark green dress of Paris make, and a
hat ugly enough to be English; She has pref
ty little hands and feet, gloved and booted to
perfection. Olive usually reads first the New
York Tribune, devouring it in the true jour-
nalistio fashion that plucks the heart out of a
newspaper in five minutes, and then she turns
TO do the same with the New York Graphic.
She is au interesting person to watch, for she
has been tireless worker, and spirited one,
for long years, always refusing to remain long
out of the public eye.-Paris Cor. Chicago In
ter-Ocean.
This is Hamilton Aides idea of the proper
way to dress a heroine: "Sylvia wore dark
red robe-i would be sacrilege to call it gown
or frock-trimmed with fur and made as near
ly as possible like that we are accustomed to
associate with Faust's Marguerite. A velvet
and gold bag was slung at her side, and on her
head was a small cap OF fur. Beneath it her
hair, which was of a reddish brown and very
thick, hung in loose coils in net far down her
back"
A French journalist recently stated with
profound gravity that English ladies of rank
generally wear a large gold cross at the throat,
and this cross is hollow and is filled with some
precious cordial, sherry, Madeira or brandy.
"Thus fitted, this religious symbol assumes an
unexpected utilitarian aspect, and plays seri-
Gus role in the existence of the ladies of Eng
land. 1t helps them to satisfy their ingenious
instincts of comfort, and allows them to take
without scandal before everybody, at ball or
the theater, one of those tonics which it is said
the people of the North need to excite and
stimulate their nerves. This custom can be
abserved nightly at the opera" An English
journal says there might possibly have been
grain of truth in such a statement century
ago when cordial bottles were made in curious
shapes. One, for instance, made of brown
stoneware, has the exact shape OF prayer
book, with the ornamentation of the cover
deceptively initiated.

Germany Favors the Autonomy of AL
bania.
LONDON, May 27.-The Telegraph saws
eve have received from an authoritative
source a document containing a resume of the
Albanian difficulty, embodying, as we have
reason to believe, the views OF the German
government respecting the most desirable solu-
ton. The document states the most feasible
solution to be to sanction the autonomy of AL
bania under a native prince doing homage to
the Sultan as Suzerain. The Porte does not
regard this unfavorably, and the British cabi-
net might rejoice in the conviction that it had
assisted another Balkan people to achieve
emancipation.
