the Rev. DIR. Dix Is to ofliciate. The lady
Is the daughter Of Professor Charlier, aged
90 years, and beautiful. The gentleman is
Mr.. Howe, the private secretary of Post
master Pearson. He Is of good family, but
poor. When Charlicr (who has not objected
to !, Howe's attentions to his daughter)
learned Of tho engagement he forbade 1t.
Another sister and the young brother Of
ordered out of the house. DIR. Morgan, of
st. Thomas Episcopal Church, declined to
marry the couple without Mr.. Charters
consent; but DR.. Dix Of Old Trinity, who
has looked into the matter says
the young couple are light,
and he will perform the ceremony
on November 10 Postmaster-Gcncral
James son Frank Is 10 be best man, and
President Arthur's son one of the ushers.
The father says he will forbid the bans, and
DIR. Dix says he has prepared written
statement, which he will read, and then 60
on with the ceremony. Mr.. Charlier says
his principal objection is as to his daughters
age. The affair has created much interest
staying with friends, and the brother, who
Is going to give his sister away, has left col
lege and gone to work in a store. When
his father ordered him out of the house, he
gave him 5000. Professor Charlier is the
proprietor Of large school for boys near
Central Park. He says he objects to the
marriage on account of the immature char
acter Of his daughter and his dislike of Mr..
Howe. He requested his daughter to wait
one year, and then he would withdraw his
objection and give her wedding outfit If
her feelings continued unchanged.

An Open Polar Sea.

A dispatch from San Francisco of Novem-
Der says:
1.-THE steam whaler Belvidere has arrived
here, also the whalers Northern Light,
Dawn and Rainbow. 1t appears that the
Dawn did not speak the Rodgers as reported
Saturday, but did speak the whaler Pacific,
which had communicated with the Rodgers
To-day direct news was received from the
Rodgers, the Belvidere having spoken her
September 81 near Herald Island, steaming
south for winter quarters which she will
make probably ut st. Lawrence Bay. The
Bclvidere brought letters from tho Rodgers,
from which and from conversation between
Capt. Owen, of the Belvidere, and Lieut.
Berry, of the Rodgers, the following
facts are learned: Lieut.. Berry found
Wrangel Land to be an island. He
sent party from the Rodgers out
in small boats to explore the land. They re-
turned to Rodgers, having gone completely
around IL. Tho party also surveyed differ
ent parts Of Wrangel Island. Tho
Rodgers did not go around, laying up
while the party in the boats were out. The
Rodgers, after having established the fact
that Wrangel Land Is an island, steamed
one hundred and twenty-odd miles north
and northwest in search of further land,
but failed to find any. Lieut.. Berry as
cendod mountain on Wrangel Island, and
from its top saw seas all around it. The sea-
son had been most favorable for exploration
on account of its openness. Notwithstand-
ing stormy weather Capt. Owen said that
from his observations, he would not be at
all surprised to hear of the Jeanette coming
home by way Of Greenland. The Rodgers
intends to send out sledge party from her
winter quarters to explore the coast of
Siberia. She expects to leave her winter
quarters next June and go as far North as

Mr. Parnell was interviewed by two
prominent members of tho Home Rule
League. He said the recent Judgments at
Belfast agreed with his estimates that the
rents in Ulster should be reduced to Grit
fith's valuation. He believed the reduc-
lions in the South Of Ireland would not be
as large, and consequently would not satisfy
the tenants. Any general reduction OF
rents to Griffith's valuation would, because
of the extent to which land is mortgaged,
deprive landlords of the means of living
and compel the government to buy out OF
compensate. This would demonstrate the
soundness of the views enuncated by the
League Mr.. Parnell admitted the prob
ability of many tenants settling directly
with their landlords.

ADJUSTMENTS,
Hermann.
ESTABLISHED AUGUST. 1893.

The National Theatre last evening was
we'll filed by fine audience which wit
messed one of the most interesting and
entertaining series of lcgerdemain, magic
and juggling ever presented at the National
Capital. tf'P 4
Always descrvcdly popular, the famous
Hermann is, this season, more attractive
than ever; he has added new features Of
the magical art to his own repertoire, and
in addition, is supported by the wonderful
Japanese juggler, Prince Awata Katsnoshin,
whose feats are simply marvellous, and by
Zoe, the great automatic sketch artist,
drawing with rapidity the portrait Of any
public character named by the audience.
Mademoisele Addie, the graceful assistant
Of Prof Hermann, is still with him in his
performances, and her evoutions on the
velocipedc arc remarkably skillful and
warmly applauded. 10
One of Herrmann's most marvellous feats
is the decapitation act, and he has sug-
gcsted to District Attorney Corkhill to
loan him Guiteau for Thursday night and
on that occasion he will for the first time
in his life make mistake, and perform
the decapitation act practically. Matinee

William Loundsberry, q wealthy farmer
living near Pultney, New York, has been
sentenced to pay 81 900 damages for shock
ing cruelty to Daniel Crocker, who. when
only nine years old, was taken from the
alms-house. Loundsberry agreed to feed,
clothe and educate the boy, ard care for
him until he was twenty-onc. Tho tcsti-
mony of the boy showed that he was sub.
jected to most inhuman treatment from the
farmer, who utterly failed to provide fol-
his wants He says: "My clothing was
of the scantiest, my food poor. and was
winters for several years went without
stockings and without an overcoat. Some
times when the family went away they
locked mo out of tho house, and / was
obliged to sleep in the woodshed. When
was about eleven years old they tied mo up
by the thumbs in the cellar, took tho
clothes from me, and whipped me till the
blood ran down my back and into my boots.
And this was because of slight offcnse.
Another time Loundsberry tied my hands
behind me, put a rope around my neck, and
then hung me up to beam in the barn.
He let me hang there until neighbor
came and let the rope 60. fell insensible
to the floor, remaining there until conscious
ness returned. He knocked me down with
handspike once and kicked me brutality"
At fourteen Crocker ran away, but was
followed and brought back, and at nineteen
he again ran away and could not be com.
PEELED to return. Crocker could neither
read nor write at this time, not having been
allowed to attend school except now and
then in the winter.

Mrs. West, the Irish Beauty.

Dublin Evening Telegraph.
Mrs. CORVALLIS West, who accompanies
her kinsman, the Hon. Lionel Sackville, to
Washington, is beautiful and brilliant
Irishwoman-a niece Of the Marquis of
Headfort, her maiden name Fitzpatrick.
She Is lively and spirituellc, like Erin's
bright daughters in general, and became
by those qualities alone one of the leaders
of London society. Opinions were divided
as to the place she was entitled to hold in
respect Of beauty, for her rival was
powerful and found her claims to
the first place as professional" sup
ported by the taste expressed by royalty;
but concerning the superiority of intellect
there was not the slightest difference of
opinion. Ruthin Castle, the scat of Corn
wallis West, has always been enlivencd
with all sorts of dramatic entertainments,
in which the lady of the castle takes the
leading part with the greatest talent and
ease, while her low-browcd classical rival
could never sustain conversation with any
degree OF interest. She is still young
enough to justify pretensions to witch the
world with her loneliness, having been
born during the Crimean war, and
ehristencd by the old name of Eupatoria.
Her style of beauty is in direct contrast
with that of her rival-laughing, spark
ling, blonde, and. piquant. Her arrival at
Washington will be an event ut that city,
and serve not only to waken up the diplo-
matte corps from the droning ennui Of Its
commonplace routine but will serve to
protect her honorable kinsman during the
siege which he will surely have to sustain
against the American "gurlls," always OIL
the watch and ready to pounce upon dip
lOmatic bachelor.

Mouse in Connecticut school.

waterbury American.
A mouse came near breaking up school
in the Center district yesterday. Trotting
about ON tho floor, the children spied him,
and buzz of whispers called the teachers
attention. "Now, children" said she, in
kind and motherly way. keep very
quiet, every one of you. Don't move nor
say word if the mouse comes toward you
He is perfectly harmless" The scholars
were very quiet, and watched the capers of
the mouse breathlessly. The teacher had
scarcely finished her brave address when
mousey ran directly for her and began to
walk over her feet. This was too much,
and the preaching was turned into practice
which refused to dovetail, as it were. In
short. the teacher screamed and yelled with
fright, and ran as if pack of red adders
were in mad pursuit. The whole school
hereupon became uproarious, and the mouse
was boss Of the situation. The little fellow
was so delighted that he stood up on his
hind legs and danced hOrnpipe, and then
skedaddled through the doorway, leaving
the teacher and her ticklcd pupils in a pc
culiar state of mind.
