He Sends Dispatch to America in Which He
s- Comments on the Arrest of Davitt.
The following special cablegram is pub
lished in the Boston Herald: London Feb
ruary 4.-The government expected that the
blow struck at the land league by Michael
Davitt's arrest would be crushing one;
but, heavy as it is to as personally, we have
already indications that it will recoil upon
the forces of landlordism. Tbs Irish peo-
pie, instead of being. intimidated thereby,
are firmly embracing themselves for the COM
ing struggle, end the assurances reach me
from all sides that there will be ne flinching
among Irishmen in the arduous times that
they are destined to face. Poor Davitt
sleeps tonight in the Millbank convict pris-
on after his first day of penal toll. He ar
rived in London early this morning. Several
Irish members of parliament waited up all
night in order to salute him on his arrival,
but he was taken away secretly from an
outlying station, privately brought before
a magistrate for committal, and ordered
straight to Millbank yesterday. The howls,
the cheerings, the sign of uproarious ioy
with which the British house of commons.
the first assembly of gentlemen in the world,
greeted the news of Davitt's arrest, made up
the most brutal and painful scenes ever
witnessed in the chamber. We are doing
our utmost to mitigate the horrors of Day-
tits confinement, as he is in very delicate
health; but we greatly dread the result for
him. To-day o strong reaction set in, after
the first excitement attending the expulsions.
The radicals of England will yet discover
the mistake they made in condoning the
authority of the speaker of the house of
commons, and allowing Liberty to be
trampled on in her own temple. Sooner or
later q coalition of the Wing and Tory ter.
ritorialists must be formed to make head
against the English democracy, and they
will find how fatal to their own freedom
was the precedent yesterday

REV. F. A. NOBLE, D. D., pastor of the
Union Park Congregational church in Chi
eago, preached powerful sermon last Sun
day against the doctrines lately promulgated
by Rev. Howard Crosby of New York on
the question of total abstinence. The po-
sition of DR.. Crosby, that total abstinence
cannot prevail, and that it is not desirable
that it should, is assailed on all sides, but
he holds fast, and is not the man to be
driven one way or the other by public clam
or. DR.. Mobiles admits that he is one OF
the very strongest men in the country, and
his scholarly attainments are so marvellous
that it is said that if the New Testament
were. .blotted out of existence, he could re-
produce it entire in the original Greek from
memory

A Turpin of the Rail.

Mr.. Frances Adams, jr., has been giving
a lecture on The Turpins of the Rail" 1t
is described as series of thrilling anecdotes
OF railroad criminalities, told with consider
able power and humor. He related one lu-
dlcrous story of Bostonian who, while
travelling in compartment car with an eld-
eriy couple, in England, became alarmed at
seeing one of them draw out bottle and a
napkin, after whispering together and
casting frequent glances toward him.
he became possessed of the idea that their
intention was to chlcroform and rob him,
and by his outcries, created considerable
excitement in the train until his travelling
companions, who at first thought him lu-
nahc, because of his excited manner, had an
opportunity to explain that the bottle which
so alarmed him contained only supply of
spirits with which they had proposed to re-
regale themselves.

THE breaking up of the ice in the north,
and foods at the south. have caused an un-
usual amount of damage. Tie daily re-
ports show that many bridges and mill
dams have been carried away, and large
extent Of country submerged, particularly
at the south. The overflow at New Orleans
inundated some of the thickest settled
neighborhoods and caused a great deal of
suffering. The water was four feet deep
around the houses, and fifty relief boats
were chartered to patrol the streets and sup
ply the poorer classes with provisions.
Great numbers of domestic animals were
drowned, but no human lives are reported
lost.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON

The secretary of the navy recommends an
appropriation of 100000 for the establish
ment of naval stations on the American 18TH
mus
An appropriation of $4,000 has been agreed
to in the house to pay the cost of redemption
of worn out legal tenders. The sum appro-
priated for the next fiscal year is estimated to
be enough to pay the expenses of the redemp
ton Of 81 3, 900. 900, or about half.
The house committee on claims decided to
report adversely upon the bill to provide for the
settlement of unpaid claims to those line officers
of the revolutionary army who served to the
close of the war for independence, and go re-
turned on the books of the treasury. The bill
if adopted would have involved the payment of
several millions of dollars

THE governor of Texas, in message to
the legislature on the subject of crime, re-
fers to practice tlat is not peculiar to that
state. He says that young and inexperi-
enced lawyers, by a curious and common
kind of professional courtesy, are to- day
filing the majority of the offices of prosecu.
tors to the great detriment of the state, and
that in the execution of the criminal laws
the state must be better represented at
the bar of justice. He adds: Ability must
be met by ability at the bar, and the state is
certainly as able to pay for it as individuals
are. There is no use to withhold the truth
that, as our criminal courts are now carried
on generally, with an occasional exception,
the ablest and most experienced lawyers are
seen standing within the courts to defend
criminals, and apparently to prevent the
laws from being enforced to punish them.
This can only be obviated by the state en-
ploying able and efficient counsel on its
side" To this end the governor recon-
mends an amendment to the constitution,
providing for the appointment and removal
OF district attorneys, no longer to be elected
by the people, and to be maintained, not by
fees dependent on conviction, but by regu.
lar salaries, the same in amount as those
received by the district judges.

The Chief Justice of Delaware Suggests to

R1oSnhamv

The CHIEF Justice OF Delaware Suggests to
Grand Jury that Ingersoll be Indicted for
Blasphemy.
Wilmington special to Phil. Times.
A few weeks ago Col. Robert G. Inger-
soil delivered his lecture, "What shall do
to be saved?" at the Grand Opera House in
this city, the house being packed with peo-
pie. Since then the clergy of the city and
country have attacked the bold infdel from
their pulpits, and yesterday in the court of
general sessions here Chief Justice Com
eggs came down upon him like Thousand
of bricks. In his charge to the grand jury
Judge ~CoG,esy ~CCoSGIcegys said:
This city, not long ago, was used &c 6
theater for the promulgation of sentiments
at war with the religion of the Bible. Bias
phemous language was used near where we
are assembled by an audacious disciple of
the defamers of revealed religion, for the
purpose of exposing its doctrine to the con-
tempt and reproach of the people of this
city. No man stepped forward to call him
to account for his defiance of the laws of
the state. l say to you the law of this
state is against the insulting of God
by reproachful or derogatory language or
expressions, and exciting the passions Of the
people by treating their religion with con-
exist as healthy moral organization where
men are allowed to speak without chal-
lenge against the very and only founda-
ton upon which its security rests-the
over-ruling power of God. When We de-
throne His majesty, erect in His place our
own notions of right and wrong, we soon
pass into an estate Of life not restraining
but in effect promoting our inherent pro-
pensity to evil, for no candid man can pre-
tend that our impulses are not toward the
qualification rather than the restraint of oul
passions. This crime of blasphemy is a
common ofense, and punished by statute
passed so long ago as 1740 by our colonial
Legislature, and such enactment in its essen
tial form has been continued down to this
day. Under this act above mentioned for
punishment for the outrage is the pillory,
brand and stripes. After the constitution
of the state went into effect, but not until
the year 1926, the punishment was chang
ed into fine and imprisonment, but the
offense remained, and it is the same to
day as it was in the thirteenth year of
George H., when the old act passed. 1t is
our and your duty to follow that law, and
whenever hereafter man shall stand in the
face of the people of this country while they
remain Christian people or insult religion
or bring it into contempt and ridicule, it
will be the duty of the grand jury to bring
such offense to the notice of the court by
presentment, as well as it will be that of the
officers to arrest him for his open offense. :"
Judge Comegys then passed on to "Some-
thing else which was also grossly insulting
to the people of this country-a dog-fght
recently had by Philadelphia sports at
Scheutzen park near this city" He gave
the grand jury to understand in words not
minced that neither dog-fght nor bias
phemous utterances should be contenanced
in the state of Delaware.

SENATOR EpMrNDs of Vermont

SENATOR EDMUNDs of Vermont does
not entertain very high opinion of the
practical use of Arctic explorations. In a
recent debate on q bill to appropriate $175,-
600 for steam whaler to go to the relief of
Bennetts steamer Jeanette, he said that
he would vote for the relief but he never
had voted and never would vote for original
Arctic expeditions; in the warfare between
civilization and the North Pole, the pole
had always won; he regarded such expedi-
tions as fruitless and wasteful of life and
money; still, we were morally bound to do
what we could to get the Jeanette out of
her scrape, but the chances were certainly
nine to one that we would next have to send
out a third expedition to find the second.
The bill was passed, and received the vote
of Mr.. Edmunds, notwithstanding his pro-
test against original explorations.

Seekers After Health.

Unfortunates who are seeking TO renew
their health, are many. SO often have they
been deceived by the advertisements of W ORTIZ
less compounds, that many are discouraged,
and refuse to believe anything they read in
the papers. Therefore, the best advertise
ment of a really good medicine is the
reputation it has gained in places where it is
being sold. No other remedy ever discovered
has grown SO rapidly i'll public favor that
true medicinal tonic called Browns Iron
Bitters. In localities where its extraordinary
merits have become fully known and realized
by those who have been in il-health, the
sale is unprecedented. One druggist in our
city reports the sale of 23S bottles in one
week. 1t is, inGeed, wonderful. health
giving, lite-saving preparation. Ii is soothing
and refreshing in its effect, and strengthens
every part of the body, and creates healthy
appetite and digestion, even when the system
is almost destroyed by the many hurtful
