sherman's Partially for thestage.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-The grist Of
gossip that finds its way into the
papers, to a remarkably great extent,
passes through the hopper Of the hotel
lobbies. 1t is not an uncommon sight to
see brace OF Cabinet officers and half a
dozen Senators lounging about Wiilard's
or the Riggs house between luncheon and
dinner timeo on the Lords Day, while mem
bers Of the lower house can be met at every
turn. Secretary Chandler is sure TO spend
half an hour down town even on week
days. One day correspondent met him
In a dairy lunch room on Fifteenth street
munching buttered biscuit and slipping q
cup OF skimmed milk. The correspondent
yentured the remark that il was q good
place TO get lunch. "Indeed tits, said the
Secretary, Especially when one has but II
cents 10 spend for it," and "the ruler Of
the Queens navee' brought out two nick
els q copper cent, wiped his beard on the
common towel and went away smiling.
Another frequenter Of the hotel is General
Sherman, and nine times out OF ten you
will find the grizzly veteran talking with
some visiting theatrical star, or just about
to step up to the parlor to have half min.
ute with a prima donna. The old General
las the stage for his hobby. He may be
seen ut the theatre every evening, and II
he has been out TO dine or Is going to a
party. ne wears dresssuit in his box,
otherwise be goes to the play IN his shop
clothes. He applauds unsparingly, and it
las been remarked that the boys IN the
gallery are sure to be pleased with the in
cidents OF the play that suit General Sher:
mans fancy. But, II he is not critical oil
the play, he has fine appreciation
OF choice players. No member of Harri'
oan & Hart's company or the Lights
o,Lopdon Combination ever sat at dinner
with Tecumseh, but such choice morsels rs
Roosevelt have dined with him and his
family at home. John Mccullough and
Lawrence Barrett are also personal friends
Of his. Speaking Of dinners recalls one oil
the subjects OF hotel talk to-day. 1t was
the coming dinner to General Sherman on
the occasion Of his sixty.third birthday
and his practical retirement from the army.

CoLUMDus, January 90.-The ex.priest,
O'Connor, delivered his lecture last night
at the City Hall to very large crowd. He
was notified this morning by the Chieiof
Police that II he charged IN admission fee
lie would be required to take out license,
therefore no admission was charged, but
collection was taken up, which amounted
10 about the same thing. One man became
rather boistcrous, and was removed from
the hall. Outside OF some kissing, the
speaker was not interiered with. So far
US the lecture Is concerned it was very
commonplace, and being delivered in low
tone, not more than half the audience
could keep track OF the flow Of words. At
the conclusion OF his lecture, 0'Connor was
escorted TO his hotel by two policemen. A
squad OF police were present at the hall dur.
ing the evening and all necessary precau-
tions were taken to prevent trouble. =

NEALAND CRAFT.
Exaggerated Stories About Mob Violence
During the Coming Trials.

CXrrLErrsByRo, KY, January 20.-The
approaching trial Of Neal and Craft, set for
the 7th Of February, at Grayson, does not
disturb the equilibrium OF the people here
as much as it does, judging from the news
paper articles, our cousins in the central
part Of the State. The people in this Sec
ton are disgusted with many OF the ridicu-
lous and sensational specials which appear
almost daily in some Of the newspapers,
contributed by correspondents from Lex.
ington and Frankfort. They are also rs.
tonished at the ignorance displayed by
those correspondents Of the geography Of
their own State, which certainly demons.
trates the great necessity OF better common
schools In Kentucky, and O law compell-
ing all children to attend them. Last week
the Carlisle Mercury, in commenting on
the outlook Of the coming trial, describes
Carer county rs very wild and remote,
and to establish this lamented the fact that
only one road passes n through 1t,
and expresses grave apprehenslons of-a
regular war. 1t Is indeed strange that this
editor knows so little about county IN his
own Congressional district. Now it is 10
be understood by this that a county is very
wild and remote because it only has one
road running through it. II this is to be
the test OF civilization and proximity 10
great commerce centers, Carter county is
further advanced than Nicholas, because
the former has two roads, one great
thoroughfare, while the latter only has one
little branch road Of the great line that
trayerses through the hills and valleys Of
Carter. In this the editor Of the Mercury
has created q standard by which his cOun-
trymen would not live to be measured.
Upon what many Of the statements made
are founded, the people here would like to
know. 1t can not be on any declaration
made by Judge Brown, for in all matters
in which he has 10 act, he has been ex-
ceedingly reticent, strictly keeping his own
counsel, and certainly nothing has been
done or said by the citizens OF Cattletts.
burg to Justify the conclusion that they
bear ill.will, as alleged by some, toward
the soldiers.

the present time there has been no change
in the strike among the iron-workers at
Somerset, and both mills are still closed.
1t is more than probable, however, that
there will be u change before long. The
strikers are beginning TO weaken, and they
are indirectly making overtures to the
manufacturers TO regain their places. The
workmcn, after a strike CT two weeks, have
concluded that there is no apparent pros.
pect OF q change in the iron market which
would favor II continuance Of hosLilities.
Some Of the workmen hAvealready signified
their intention 10 return to work, but the
more obstinate class still claim they have u
just cause TO continue TO oppose the action
Of the manufacturers in reducing wages,
The employers will start work as soon as
possible and will permit those willing 10
return TO do 80. Considerable difficulty
will be encountered, however, us those who
refuse to submit are mostly puddleis, and

The manufacturers will try to secure new

try TO prolong the strike, which is now

TGg esteemed Register deplores "the
malicious, partisan designs against the in
sitntion IStnte University which are
being daily fostered and fabricated by
certain Republican organs of the State"
II this is being done it is in every way
rppyehensible. Our cotemporary takes
hold Of the statement concerning the Life
Of Charles Sumner, and says it originated
in the University OF Virginia some years
ago. That must be another Charles Sum-
ner story. There lies before us the state
ment Of Mr.. V. W. Gaines, son OF Major
TheophiIus .. Gaines, late student oi the
University. Over his own signature Mr..
Chimes says:
wish to make the following statement,
that no Injustice may be done Professor Har-
vey. | met the professor on my way 70 the
college and asken him II the Life OF Charles
Sumner WAS IN the library, and he said that
it was not, and then added, 'y0il could hGlaty

iiOR" The above is exactly whatwas said ana
am not responsible for any ether report
We do net understand that the institu-
ton at Morgautown was founded by the
State and endowed with land grant by
the United States with the understanding
that it was to be "a southern institution"
Neither was it to be northern institution,
but the West Virginia University and, OIL
counse, u loyal institution. The spirit oil
theprotessor's reply is hostile to the inter
ess Of the institution, which must rest on
the good will Of the people OF the
State or It will fall as it will do
serve to. The complaint is that
Gis is the spirit which pervades the
institution. II this betrne, the Legislature
ought to know It, that 1t may institute in
stant reform and catch up the University
before 1t falls to lower point. II would
be unfair TO denounce the whole manage
menL because Of what one professor said to
one stndent, but it will not be unjust to
anybody to make careful inquiry into
the situation. When half the students
seventy out OF one hundred and
iohy-as We are informed, leave dur,
ing the school year, it suggests that
there is something worth looking into
not to please Republicans, not to convict
OverEealous Democrats, but to preserve
the University, that upon the foundations
We have we may rear such seat OF learn
lug s We ought to have. There isno oc,

rather too progressive to suit the majority

the pastoral relation was severed, after an

charges against him were that his ideas
were not orthodox, but tending toward
Unitarianism; also, that he was not pop

CATION. They offered him three months
In which to seek another charge, but he
declined to take advantage Of this, and left

congregation US it could accommodate,
speaking on Theology vs. Religion" He
defined his views at length, declaring that
he was not believer in the Unitarian
idea Of Christ, but saying that he was q
firm believer in evolution. At the con.
clusion OF his sermon he asked all who
wished to hear him in the future to remain,

lief that a satisfactory bill would be passed.
In the House different members concurred
in the belief, though Haskell, Of Kansas,
had his doubts. 1t is said that Mr.. Randall
is very anxious to sec bill OF some kind

question, for he fears that the Presidents
policy is to secure the tariff question as u
party issue for 1884, and Mr.. Randall be.
iieves that II the present Congress does not
pass the Tariff bill the country will blame
The Democrats for its failure, and the
President will call an extra session, feel.
ing sure that the new Congress, which is
Democratic, will refuse to pass any Tariff
bill, and further convince the country that
the Democratic party is the party Of free
