Lord Derby and the New Guinea Annex
alton Project

NEW YORK, October 25th.-A cable special from
London says: Lord Derby, Colonial Secretary has
written letter to the chief promoter of the New
Guinea Exploration and Colonization Company, en-
phaticay protesting against further encroachments
upon the rights of the inhabitants OF that island
He calls attention to the fact that the Ministry has
several occasions condemned the project of king
any of the South Pacific islands TO Australia or in
any manner assuming to establish control of any Of
these islands at variance with their present system
Of government. In some of these, particularly the
island OF Samoa, German British and American
GoDsuls have at times exercised their influence,
jointly or separately, aud treaties exist which prac-
tcay grant to certain Of hese islands the rights of
independent States. Therefore, if General McIvar
persists in the forcible seizure OF any of the speci
fed territory or in any disregards the rights
OF the natives or colonists now occupying these
islands, even though such operations may be con-
Quoted under the British flag and ostensibly in Brit
ish interests the Government will at once instruct
the British Commissioner and Commander Of the
Western squadron to interfere and forciby put down
any further movement toward the prosecution Of the
scheme. This will be done, says Lord Derby, so
efectuay as to discourage any further attempts to
set at defiance the expressed policy Of the Home
Government

Train Robbers Foiled.

WALNUT RIDGE (Ark.). October 25th-An attempt
was made to rob the north-bound express train on

and the local freight was running the time OF the
express. The local was signaled by lanterns, and
when stopped was boarded by party with masks
found they had stopped the wrong train, and passed
into the woods with many curses, but without mo-
Testing anything or anybody. The conductor Of the
local telegraphed to Roadmaster Griffin Of this

PARIS, October 25th.- The discussion of the mu-
nicipal bill was resumed to-day in the Chamber OF
Deputies, and the amendment OF the extreme left,
fayoring ths payment OF municipal counselors was
rejected. Whereup9n NJ. Granet Radical Deputy
receiving consent to put question said that the
recent official statistics respecting the affairs in
Tonquin showed the extreme gravity Of the stua-
ton. Explanations, he declared were iudispensa-
Bile. His remarks were received with cheers by the
extreme left. Protests were also made by members
Of the other Republican groups They condemned
the Ministry, because it had failed to convene the
Chambers at an early date, and asked the Govern
meut to give them an opportunity to open the dis
cussion on the Tonquin question. n the
Government refused to do this thev
would take steps to force the discussion. Prime
Minister Ferry replied that he regretted that no
notice of Interpolation had been given He would
be prepared 20 discuss the Tonquin matter when
the supplementary credits we're introduced The
date Of their introduction not yet fixed When
the credits were submitted, the Cabinet would de.
mand either complete approval or dlsapproyal OF

record in this city. His church greatly desired
to retain him, having enjoyed the most profound
satisfaction in his pulpit labors"
DR.. Alabaster is native of Geneva, N. Y, and
a graduate of Genesee College, of that State.
His labors in the ministry have been marked
with success he having taken into the church
more than two thousand persons without being
known as a special revivalist, In addition TO his
eminent qualification for the pulpit, he is known
a most popular lecturer on various topics
not inconsistent with his calling minister,
and where known he has been often called 20
this field. In 1879, while pastor of a church in
western New York, a wealthy member OF bis
congregs ton, wishing to visit Europe with his
family, proposed to take the Doctor wi th him
for the special service we'll read in history
and geography would be, defraying all expenses
The Doctor accepted the invitation, and the
friend testified that no expenditure yielded
better results than that which carried with him
a walking and talking encyclopedia. On his re-
turn from Europe he found himself transferred
from the Genesee conference to the Detroit and
stationed at Ann Arbor, the most important
pulpit in Michigan, whers he spent three sue
cessful years, and comes now to this city with
out his own soliciting. He will receive cordial
welcome, not only from the members of his own
church, but by all Christians in this city.

Connecticut SUSPECTS.

The danger OF sojourning in a small village
and neglecting to take the natives individually
and collectively into ones confidence is exem-
plfied in the case of Mr.. Curtis, of Philadelphia
That gentleman was unfortunately summer
boarder in the little town of Stratf0rd, Conn,
where Rose Amber was killed. He was regard
ed as eccentric by the natives, the eccentricity
consisting, SO far as appears, in his extreme
nervousness and a habit of minding his own
business quietly. When Rose Ambler's body
was discovered each yillager, OF course, trans
formed himself into detective and proceeded
to hunt out the murderer. negro was pounced
upon and arrested for no other reason than
that he was black, and other black men had
committed murders; but he lucky enough
to prove an abb. The divorced husband
of the woman next accused; but
numbers of witnesses testified to his
presence twenty miles away on the
fatal night. Suspicion pointed at the ungallant
lover, who permitted his sweetheart to walk
home alone; but it was proved that he went to
bed at O'Clock, and no one could say that
he got up again. Then somebody noticed
that Mr.. Curtis, the Philadelphia, took
no interest in the affair, and this of itself was
considered suspicious. 1t did not occur to these
amateur detectives that murders are not uncom-

place might be excused for not growing excited
over each new one that might come under his
notice. No; Mr.. Curtis took no interest, and this
was elew. Besides, he was nervous and this
was another. Then detective visited the sus-
pected mans room and found two handkerchief
in a vallse with bloOdstains on them, which, not
withdrawing the circumstance that the girl as
strangled to death without loss OF blood was re-
garded as conclusive proof of guilt. In add.
ton, too, a pair OF orumpled cuffs were found
through lowering a heavy body over fence.
Altogether, it looked dark for Mr.. Curtis. 1t was
some time before he knew that he was an object
of suspicion, and OnIearning it he naturally be-
came excited and indignant, which was also con-
sidered marx of guilt. He at once ex-
planned his whereabouts on the day In question,
denied that he ever heard OF Rose Amber be-
fore her death, and therwise conducted himself
as any man might under such ACCUSATIONS but
his ass everations of innocence count notaipg in
the eyes of the stratford people. With all this
weight of evidence against him 1t is not clear
why Mr.. Curtis has not been arrested, but he is
under surveillance, and may have al unpleasant
experience in freeing himself from suspicion.
The Amber case is another In the list OF mystic
rious murders of young women for which Con-
the perpetrators will probably never be found,
or go unpublished, as in the cases of Jennie Cra-
mer and Mary stannard.

people to embark 1t will not do for few
exalted excursionists or enthusiastic picnick-
ers to sing hallelujah and shout all aboard!
The train won't move an inch until the power
is put on, and this will not be done until the
quota is made up. A few, mayhap can slip
through the gates of jasper and pearl on
hand-cars or by some narrow-gauge route,
but the great big train that was long ago
built and equipped for all the people
is not ready to leave the station. The world
is waiting, not for common-sense religion,
but for common sense, practical teachers OF
religion. The masses are ready to embark
for glory, but not as a canaille. Man was
made in the image of his Maker, and his
nature is too much like Gods nature to be
deceived into accepting injustice. The
man or woman who is going
to heaven to wear a crown
will not be content to ride on f1at-car
while others go up in Pullman. 1t is I'M
reasonable to expect it, and it is because it
has been expected that the gospel has been
so slow in evangelizing the world. If Mr.
Talmage wants to ring the bell and yell all
aboard it is all right, but he ought to make
sure that there is room aboard for all who
would avail themselves of trip to the sum-
merland of the great hereafter.

SHOOT FOLLY AS IT FLIES"


Newspapers would be forced to perceptfble
shrinkage in size if the average journalist con-
scientiously remanded TO the rubbish closet in
his brain all the trashy and commonplace COM
ments upon woman which now flow so freely
from his pen. Ore by one our wiser seribes are
parting with these cherished but ignoble topics.
The mOther-in-law as q mirth-prOvoker has
passed away into the beyond the old maid, too,
has set the seal of eternal silence on che lips OF
the newspaper wag; the girl who chews gum Is
about to take unlimited recess, and the much
abused and down-trodden sex has begun to hold
up It's head and even peek timidly around little.
There, is, however, one precious hallucination
concerning woman which, it is feared, the mind
of man will never resign while health animates
his body. He dotes on it, gloats over it and hugs
it fondly to his journalistic bosom. No laughter,
sneers or jeers can ever tear it away from him.
He robes it constantly anew in the most attrac-
tive garb his imagination can fashion, and is
ever unweariedly presenting it,, in his intellect
ual showcase, to the gaze OF all mankind. The
spring bonnet is the individual referred to; and
you cannot convince the average man that the
thoughts Of woman are ever any wider than a
bandbOx or that the banners of her ambition are
ever planted any higher than her passion for
spring bonnet can lead her. In
his mind 1t is never the summer bon
net, the fall bonnet, or the winter bonnet which
fills her soul with lefty thoughts or inspires her
to deeds doughty or dreadful. Oh, no; it is al
ways the spring bonnet. According to the in
f1ated imagination of men, the spring bonnet is
wonan's deamon, familiar spirit; and, lured
by it's reckoning charms, she will sell her chill
dren's clothes, bankrupt her husband, or even
steep her hands in the gore Of the hired girl.
Like the manly plug hat it is supposed to regu-
late her social and religious status. However,
the thoughts OF men are widening, and there is
faint glimmer of hope that the threadbare
witticisms evoked by the spring bonnet will
soon be ANONYMOUSLY tossed into the Journals
tic lumberroom In the interval, let all wearers
of bonnets, irrespective OF seasons, harmlessly
employ their feeble intelleets in arguing with
the Lime-Kin Club, (Which way does the worl'
move, anywayH"
