An Indiunant Statesman.

Mr.. Beverly Tucker Indignantly repu-
dates the suggestion made by one of the
Sunday newspapers to the effect that he is an
active agent of tho New Idria Silver Mining
company, and, as such, is in position to
influence his brother the Hon. ]. Randolph
Tucker, a member of the house of represent
ativos, in passing upon tho merits OF tho
McGarrahan claim. Mr.. Tucker says that ho
has had no connection whatever with the
New Idria Silver Mining company Tor two
years or more that ho never spoke to his
brother Randolph about this claim or any
other claim pending in congress in which
he Beverly was interested as agent or
counsel and that it has always been we'll
understood between him and his brother that
in any matter pending in congress Randolph
should never know on which side Beverly
was Interested. Mr.. Tucker further says
that his son was never in tho employ of tho
New Idria Silver Mining company, as has
boen alleged. lie was up to within a year
ago the assistant superintendent of the Sui
phur Bank Quicksilver Mining company,
which operates in an entirely different Sec
tion of California. In concluding his card
Mr.. Tucker says:
] have long since Rbstained from noticing
gratuitons attacks upon myself open or iHsidiouS,
in newspapers, but my pure aud spotless brothers
name and fame arc of the few lhings left me In
this world, and these will ever defend with my
pen, or If need bo, with my life.

HAMLINE,s NEW PASTOR.
The Reception rendered by the Ladies' Z
Rev. J. A. Price.

Rev. J. A. Price.
Last evening the good people Of Hamline
NJ. Il. church rendered public reception to
their now pastor, tho Rev. J. a. Price, and
his family, who arrived in tho city on Friday
last During the past week the ladies Of the
old society Of the church had the parsonage
thoroughly renovated. Now carpets, new
furniture, and the walls ropaperod through
out give evidence of the desire of the church
to make the pastor and family feel that the
church has an interest in their comfort and
welfare. The three weeks that Mr.. Price has
been with his new charge have gained for
him warm place in the hearts Of his con-
gregation.
At the hour of 8 Mr.. +. I. Booraem was
called upon to preside. After the opening
hymn Mai. II. A. Hall led in prayer. This
was followed with music, q solo by Miss
Lizzie Langley, and choruses by the young
ladies and gentlemen Of tho church under
tho direction of Mr.. T. II. Thomas. Mr.. ID.
G. Reinohl then camo forward and delivered
the address of welcome. He said that it
was not an unusual thing to Welcome a
Methodist minister once in three years. The
NJ. Il. church was grand in its conceptions,
noble in its work. The trials OF the early
ministers had in measure passed away. The
day of saddlebags and long circuits was on
| tho decline.

thanked the kind friends for this expression
of their love aud confdcnce-for the kind
words spoken. He was glad his lot was cast
in their midst The zeal, faith, and fidelity
of the church had preceded him. The
church had won his heart.
After the response of the pastor the presi.
dent of the meeting presented to Mrs. Price
beautiful floral piece representing the Bible.
IL was design of large open book, with
white rosebuds for the center, while dark
red carnation pinks filed the outer edges.
In the center of tho right page was inter-
mingled with the roses cross of everlast-
ings while surmounting the whole volume
was a half circle of carnations, forming
in large letters tho word Welcome"
The whole design was beautiful, and in
marked keeping with the occasion. After
this presentation the members and friends
of the church were formally prese nted to
the pastor aud his family. Handshaking
and words Of welcome and congratulations
were INDUCED in for short time, when tho
people gradually left for their homes Much
praise is due to tho ladies Of the reception
committee for their untiring efforts to make
the evenings entertainment both pleasant
and profitable,

THE wRIeeLING MONSTERS.


While your valuable paper and its numer-
GUS contributors devote much space and time
to the general safety and health Of the citi-
zens of Washington, and while scientists arc
making research in various matters Of gen.
eral interest, would 1t not be an important
matter for tho professors of the Smithsonian
institution, or of some of the various colleges
in the district, to investigate tho character
and species of the great number of vermin
and an amalcule found in the water drawn
from every spiggot in tho city, and to sscer-
tain If possible what effect it has upon tho
health of the thousands who daily drink
those miniature monsters. Anyone who will
attach o strainer to the water spiggot aud OK
anime it every twenty-tour hours will not
only be surprised, but will be frightened to
see the ugly wrigging, crawling scorpion.like
vermin swallowed in every cup Of water
drank. In the interest of health We suggest
this as rich aud useful field for research,
having in view some means Of preventing or
remedying the dreadful nuisance.

there on his tou when n candidate for

dents gave him q dinner, and to make
it as fine IN affair as possible each of
the hosts was laid under contribution
for some of the rarest wines in his cell
lar. When dinner was announced and
the halfshell oysters had disappeared
the waiter appeared at Mr.. Greeley's
seat with a plate OF beautiful shrimp.
"Yon a take them away he said to
the waiter, and then he added apologet-
ically to the Mortified old French creole
gentleman who presided, II never eat
insects of any kind !" Later on soup
was served, and at the same time a glass
Of delicious white wine was placed at
Mr.. Greeley's right hand. He pushed
it aside quietly, but not ~unobserved by
the chief host. do you not drink
wine?" he asked. aNo,s answered Mr..
Greeley. 7 never drink any liquor"
