AN OLD MANS DARLING.

EX- SENATOR CHRIsTIANCY's TESTIMONY IN
THE PENDING DIVORCE SUIT.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-In the Christiancy
divorce suit the testimony OF Elk Senator
Christiancy was taken. In connection with
it several important letters have been put in
evidence, among them a long letter written
by Christiancy, August Is, 1878, to his wife's
father, John w. Lugenbeel, with regard to
Mrs. Christiancy's alleged bad conduct. 1t
begins with a reference TO the correspond
ence between the writer and Mrs. Lugenbeel
before their marriage. This is the CORE
spondence in which Christiancy says he
endeavored to convince her that she
ought not to marry him, and in
which he insisted many times tn at she should
loved her, and said if after full and mature
consideration she still wished to marry him
he would consent. She declared she still
wished him to make her his wife, and if be
was gentleman he had only one course to
take. The marriage took place, and if the
love which she professed for him had really
existed, nothing he says could have made
him happier. Ga the morning of the we'd
ding, however, she heard of the return of
James Lugenbeel and tainted. When they
reached Philadelphia and were alone she
told him that she had been engaged
to Lugenbeel, but that the engagement had
been broken of, and she did not know how
deeply she loved him until his name was
ment oned. She said she had perjured hera
self in her marriage vows, was miserable and
wanted a divorce forthwith. When they
returned to this city all went well until she
met Lugenbell in an art gallery, and from
that time she seemed detected and desperate,
and again asked for a divorce. Soon after
this Frank Anderson became attentive TO
her and her affections seemed to attach
themselves alternately to him and to Lugen-
b. el, and again came frenzy for divorce.
Finally che quieted down, and appeared
to think more of her husband. Alter
she had returned to her home, in August
1876, her love for Anderson broke out afresh,
and her hatred for her husband increased
She also had a fondness for Samuel Regis
ter, of Baltimore, and for one Mayer. She
often declared that she wished her husband
was dead, and said he was all that stood be-
tween her and happiness. Christiancy then
refers to the fact that his wife went to the
healing springs in preference to going to
Saratoga or Kansas with him, and says that
he felt suspicious, she had gone to the
springs with some old lover. When she
wrote to him she tainted him with being old,
and did not pretend to love bim. She said
she would not live with him; that she would
spend all the money she pleased; that she
would run him in debt. and that she wanted
a divorce. Her husband said he would not
quarrel with her; nor would he would he be
ruined in the way she proposed.

ARKANSAS CITY
Is in a FIourishinR, Prosperous and
Happy Condition, and Does Not
Fear
Any Losses from the Second Overflow,
which is not Half SO BAD as is
Painted.
To the Editors of the Appeal:

To the Editors of the Appeal:
ARKANSAS CITY, ARK, May 23.-In YOU
issue of the 21st appeared what purported tc
be special telegram from this place, which
is SO manifestly unjust to our citizens and
town as TO lead, at first glance, to the infer
ence that its authorship was either dictated
by personal malice or malicious rivalry.
The water is not "awash" in the highest
parts of the town, nor in the lowest. The
town is not inundated, as stated, nor do we
apprehend an inundation from Ae present
water. The statement that several of our
leading citizens and business men have given
up hope and are offering their property at
ruinous sacrifices in order to close out and
get away, is utterly false and without found
alton, as the signatures to this article of sew
eral of the parties whose names were men,
toned attests.
As citizens OF Arkansas City we pronounce
the whole telegram, 80 far as it refers to our
town or its people, as a malicious SANDER
There is nothing in the present outlook to
discourage US or shake our faith in the future
growth and prosperity of Arkansas City,
which we are firmly convinced is yet to be
the great commercial center and trade mart
between st. Louis and New Orleans. The
statement that off we can get in and get out
a crop of cotton on one-sixth of the tillable
lands we shall declare ourselves Fortunate
is ridiculous. Every Indication points to
good average yield OF all crops, and we ex-
pect to have it, despite the croaking of grum-
blers and rivals or the Islander of enemies.

Baptist Home missionary Society. n

New YORK, May 25-At to days session
of the American Baptist Home Missionary
Societies jubilee meeting, the Committee on
Chinese Missions presented a report, which
was adopted, taking grounds against the
anti Chinese bill. The Rev. g. w. Lasher,
of Ohio, presented a report recommending
that the society expend $4,000 in missionary
work among the foreign population of this
country.
The report of the Committee on Mexican
Missions advocated the necessity of having
native ministers to carry on the work.
The Rev. o. c. Pope, of Texas, gave a
summary of the work done the past year in
Mexico.
The report of the Committee on Western
Missions was read, and discussed by the Rev.
DIR. w. c. Crone, of Texas, Rev. w. Dun
can and others.
Dwight Spencer, of Utah, spoke of the
growth of the Mormon Church in his dis
trict.
The following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, James L. Howard, of Connecticut; vice
presidents, J. II. Walker, Of Massachusetts,
Joseph B. Hoyt, of Connecticut; correspond
ing secretary, Rev. Henry L. Moorehouse,
DID,, of New York; recording secretary
Rev. D. B. Jutten, of New York.
At the evening session, the Rev. w. Law
renee, of Illinois, and the Rev. p. S. Henson,
of Chicago, made addresses. The Rev. Mr..
Henson, in speaking of the Chinese question,
said that it was one that affected civiliza-
ton, and no embargo from Washington
could shut off immigration through the
Golden Gate. The ten years bill was a
failure. He had no faith in Congress, and
no faith in common schools, unless their
teachings were impregnated with christian
principles. To educate mans brain, he said,
was to put rife in the hands of muir
derer. He had DO faith in newspapers, and
sometimes thought that all newspapers, ex-
cept religious ones, should be suppressed.

THE steamer Alaska. of the Union Line,
which arrived in New York on Sunday,
made the trip from Liverr DOL ia seven days
and four hours, beating the best previous
record by two hours ami eight minutes, The
total distance travelled being 1882 miles.
She suff red some detenion en- account of
fogs, or she would have made the
trip 10 six days and half. This
Is wcud. rful time-beats anything on
record-and suggests the possibility of the
long predicted Atlantic ste am ferry boats
making the distance between the two CONT
nents oEee every six days. 1t is not SO
many years since fourteen days was consid-
cred the regular time from Liverpool to New
York. This was gradually reduced to nine,
and now it is only two more hours than the
half of fourteen days. 1t took years to
establish ocean steamers in the confidence of
the travelling public, and they have grown
in size, in speed and safety with the growth
Of the business. There is a wide gap be-
tween the earliest aud the latest CGnardsrs
the Britannia of 1910 and the Seryia of
1882 The former was a wooden paddle
steamship, POS feet in length, with horse
power OF 40; the latter is $50 feet in
length, with horse power of 10,500. The
observaut reader will notice that while the
length OF the Servia is about two and one
half times that Of the Britsunis, the steam
power is more than fourteen times as great.
This extra power IL partly employed in
extra speed. The BrtanniFs trip was four
Teen days. The Ssrvia has N lae il in seven
dsys, seven hours and few minutes. Nothing
can better illustrate than this does the power
Of mind ovsr matter or the giant strides that
have been made toward the humiliation of
space.

FROM the London special to the New York
Herald we learn that the Arrears bill, now
on Its passage in the House of Commons, by
its first provision, gives as gift one years
rent to every tenant whose rent is valued at
and under ESQ, who happens to be in arrears,
and in consideration of the payment of one
years rent it wipes cut all arrears of rent,
and allows linn to start fresh in the world.
To accomplish this the State makes the
tenants free gift of $1O,O0O,oOo out OF the
public fund which they will not be asked
to pay back. AS the arrears due by ac-
emulation since the famine of 1916, which
are calculated at $40, 100000, will be wiped
out at the same time, the Irish peasant will
profit to the tune of S5O,0000O0. How wide
reaching and effective the Arrears bill is
may be judged from the fact that it will
affect to greater or less degree no less
than $4,000 tenants, representing in round
numbers 100000 persons who now, in the
words of MIR. Gladstone, care at the mercy
of the landlords" the greediest and most
remorseless of land owners.

A PITIARLE SPECTACLE

LONDON, May 25.-The Standard, in dis
cussing the correspondence between Lowell
and Frelinghuysen, touching Irish subjects,
says: at is a pitiable spectacle to witness
the foreign Office of the nation to which
Story, Wheaton and Kent belong, repu-
dating the elementary principles of inter-
national law at the bidding Of a few Irish
rowdies in New York and electioneering
wire-pullers."
THE KILMAINHAM COMPACT DENOUNCED.
Lord Salisbury, speaking at Stratford last
stituencies preparing for the general election
which he said must speedily occur He
severely denounced the Kilmainham COM
pact and described the arrears of rent bill
as measure for paying the debts of persons
from fund on which they have no claim.

IN THE COMMONS.
In the Commons Gladstone stated that he
would propose that the House adjourn to-
morrow until Thursday next.
ParnelPs speech on the repression bill was
very moderate, almost apologize.
Trevelyan, chief secretary for Ireland, ad-
mitted that the government sent stimuli
taneously messages of Cancellation and
coercion, but pointed out that the messages
were not sent to the same address. Earl
Spencer had determined that all cases of
interference with huts for the shelter of
evicted persons should be submitted to him
before the police were allowed to interfere.
Clifford Lloyd would not sit in any court
under the bill (cheers by the Irish members7,
as the powers OF the act could only be exer-
cised by special magistrates. The powers
granted in regard to public meetings would
only be exercised where the meetings were
part of the machinery of violence and dis
order.
Governs amendment declaring that while
the House is DESTROYS of aiding the govern
ment in the detection of crime, it disap-
proves of restrictions upon the free express
sion of public opinion in Ireland, was
rejected.
The House then went formally into COM
mlttee on the bill.

even worse than yesterday. The Houston
Light Guards, who came next, showed a
great Improvement over yesterday. They
marched and wheeled better than the Cres-
cents, but did not succeed SO we'll in the
manual of arms. They were greeted with
tumultuous cheers when they finished, and
there were thousands who believed that
they had carried off the first prize. The
time allowed by the judges for the drill
was only forty-fve minutes, and it re-
CURED very rapid work, indeed, on the
part Of the companies to complete the pro-
gramme on time. A few minutes after,
one of the drill judges announced the result,
but they were unable TO give the score.
They declared the Crescents the winner of
the first prize and the Houstons Of the sec
ond, the other two companies not being
placed. At the same time, they announced
the result of yesterdays drill, as follows:
Louisiana Rifles first, Houstons second, Gal
vestons third and Washington Artillery
fourth. 1t is understood unofieially that the
Cresceuts had very close shave of ii, and
won by something like two one-hundredths.

The Southern Presbyterian General As

during which speeches were made that no

Jeaus Christ. But they did not prevail alto

THE CRESCENT RIFLES

Drill at New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, May 25-More than 6O00
persons, half of whom were ladies, attended
the interstate competitive drill yesterday.
The drill was commenced by the Washington
Guards, of Galvestop,~ who fell behind in
many points. The Crescent Rifles, OF This
greeted with cheers. They scarcely came
up to last year, and were evidently not
so thoroughly drilled as then, and
too confident. In the manual of arms
they were very nearly perfect, making
only five or six individual errors in march,
ing. However, several breaks occurred.
Their wheeling was very poor. The COM
pany failed twice IN wheeling. and was only
saved a complete failure by the captain sud-
denly changing his order. The general
opinion is that the company will have TO
drill much more if it hopes to succeed At
Louisville or Indianapolis. The Wash

A VERY grave error which the managers of
cemeteries almost habitually fall into is that
the owners Of graves have no rights they are
bound to respect. Asuit at law costing them
many thousands of dollars, would no doubt
convince them Of this error. But such an
extreme is to be avoided and not courted
where the dead, "the sacred dead" are in
question. Elmwood needs to be improved.

WASHINGTON, May 25 - House. - The
Mackey-Dibble contested election case was
called up by Mr.. Calkins Immediately after
the reading OF the journal. The Democrats
at once raised the question of consideration,
and proceeded to filibuster. The entire day,
up to 5 O'Clock, was consumed with dilatory
motions, etc at which hour the House took
recess until o'clock.
The President transmitted a letter from
the secretary of state concerning awards made
against Veuezula by a mixed commission

When the House reassembled the galleries
were well filled, and on the floor there was a
much larger attendance than is usually
secured at a night session. The call of the
House was interrupted several times by other
roll calls on motions to excuse various men,

concluded until 9:45 o'clock, when further
proceedings under the call were dispensed
