A NEW SALAD.


Anything new in the oyster linep
Eyes, there's the oyster salad, that is
fast becoming popular" said an avenue
oyster dealer yesterday, and its very
nice and tempting, too; although 10 costs
something" he added.
"How's IL made 2" "Well, the onlyAn-
glo-Saxo description know of it is that
il is a combination of every style of cook
ing oysters, excepting frying The
oysters arc cooked, seasoned pickled for
while, allowed to stand; then potatoes
and few pieces Of dried beef are put in,
aud, with champagne as sauce, after
being mixed up it's worth eating. We
haven't put it on our bill of fare, but
when we do 1t will be marked 20 cents
and that's what the young men SEQ first"
"a funny thing occurred the other
night. A young man and his girl came
in after the theater, and when the waiter
mentioned the salad as n new thing the
young man ordered it, He also called for
bottle of wine and a few incidentals.
When the check for so was rendered him
he nearly tainted. He excused himself
and came down to see me. | explained

enough to settle his bill, but came around
the next day, and paid up. 1 asked him
what his girl thought Of the salad. He
said that She had pronounced 1t dear
dish" and he had concurred in her opin-
| ion."
| Two young men came into the restaur-
ant while the keeper of it was talking,
and ordered salad. Have n bail with

Have one with MOI" said the second.
"All right I'll 90 you" and the first
called out to tho barkeeper, Tank, give
us two beers"
Wait, aud you'll see them kick" said
the cashier.
The young men finished their slight
repast and balls" and pronounced the
salad fine. When the check was present.
ed however, the smiles faded from their
faces, and when they came up to the
cashiers desk one of them said, "Seven-
ty-fve cents is too much," and the other
agreed not to pay. Two walters came up
and lifted their hats from their heads,
aud the gentleman paid their bill and
left swearing that thvy would never pa
tronize the house again.
"Oh. they'll bo back here in day or
two, but don't think that they will eat
salad again until it's cheaper" remarked
the cashier

The NrcAII Mission Meeting.

A little over four years ago few ladies'
were invited to meet Miss Beach, an
American lady, whose enthusiastic in
terest in the McAll mission had been
reused during her residence in Paris. A
great cry had come from the common
people all over France, in city and
province, for gospel teaching, and the
appeal Of Miss Beach was heard by repre-
sentatives of seven churches, and the
support of preaching and teaching sta
tion was then assumed at $i0O year.
To-day twenty-one churches in this city,
representing ak denominations. are in
terested in contributing to this work.
Their representatives met in the New
York Avenue church last evening.
Chief Justice Drake presided, and COM
mended the work as having come directly
under his observation in his last visit
to Paris. He said that no missionary
enterprise of to-day carried with it as
great encouragement. The Scriptures
were read by Rev. Mr.. Leonard, of st.
Johns Episcopal church. Prayer was
offered by Rev. DR.. Cuthbert, of the First
Baptist church. and Drs. Bartlett, Addi-
son, and Sunderland also took part in the
services.
The address was by Eev. w. w. New
ell, one of the directors of the mission.
He related thrilling incidents and touch
ing facts concerning the marvellous
awakening of the civil authorities to the
need of religion for France, which must
be Protestant. The movement had
spread in Paris, throughout the provinces
to Corsica, and even to Algeria. Already
one fthe converts has gone as mission
ary to Africa. Monsieur dc Pressense,
lately made senator for life, wrote
to Mr.. McAll thus, Now that tho govern
ment pays me salary l can give my
services to your mission gratuit0usly, as
have long wished to do" Fifty French
pastors and laymen are assisting in the
mission without compensation. There
was fair audience to listen to Mr.. New
ellis address. - r2'

THE PoLYGAMY TRIALS
Abruptly Ended by Confusion OF
Testimony nnd Giaring Perjury.


SALT LAKE. Cry, Oct. 31.-The Con-
nelly polygamy case was dismissed this
afternoon in the United States court.
The judge said the testimony differed 80
radically from that before the grand jury
that he was astonished. The most glar-
ing perjury had attended the evidence
here given. lie hoped that God would
forgive him if he wronged the witnesses.
The prosecution stated to the courtthat
they have produced all the evidence
which they have been able to find, and
after diligent inquiry are satisfied there
is not sufficient evidence to warrant con-
viction, because it shows that the plural
marriage took place moro than three
years prior to the indictment. The court
concurs in this view. A good many cir
cumstances tend to show the witnesses,
some of them at least, have not stated
frankly, candidly, and honestly all they
knew. Still that does not authorize con-
viction. A jury must convict, if at
all, upon the evidence. From the
statement Of counsel for the prosecution,
and the minutes Of the testimony before
the grand jury it seems that the prosecu-
tion were warranted in prosecuting the
case, and have investigated it thoroughly,
so far as they were able with this class of
evidence. The court has given them the
latitude to which they are entitled when
compelled to rely upon hostile witnesses,
which at least some of the witnesses are
The fact that they are hostile to tho
prosecution is apparent to every candid
and fair-minded man listening to the testi-
mony. l regret to say / am Of the opinion

moral certainty, that the ends of justice
have been filed in this case by false
swearing. hope never to see it again
in this court. In view of tho evidence
the court directs you now to find ver-
dict of not guilty.
The jury returned verdict of not
guilty without rising. The judge spoke
in a very earnest and impressive manner
and was affected nearly to tears.

A Visit TO Alexandria Results In Un-
pleasant Experiences, But no Bones
Broken.
The Invincible Republican club, Of East
Washington, went to Alexandria last night
upon invitation Of Mr.. Lewis McKcn-
zic, republican eloctor for that district.
Forty.five members, in the uniform of
"Plumed Knights" left on the sos train.
They were met by q delegation of repub.
licans and brass baud at the depot and
escorted to Armory hall. The hall was
crowded by white and colored men. After
the glee club Of the Invincibes had rem
dered several selections Capt. Donald
McCa0fran, OF the club, made u
stirring speech, but was frequently inter
rupted. Speeches were also made by Hon.
A. NJ. Clapp, Hon. j. L. Dezendorf, and j.
II. Sypher. The Invinci6les left the hall
TO catch the 10:40 train home. On their
way to the depot efforts wero made to
capture the transparences and flag they
carried. These attempts were frus-
trated, however. Several stones
were thrown at the club, and
tho assailants made every effort
to break up the parade. Upon reaching
the station DIR. Adams. president of the
club, said that, owing to the discourtesy
of the democrats of that district, the club
would send 800 to aid the republicans
there. Tho Invinciblos think that the
democrats wake up the wrong party.

Several Lives Lost and Much
Property Destroyed.

New YORK, Oct. 31.--A letter from
Nassau, N. p, dated Oct. "a, says: A
heavy storm, in places reaching the pro-
portions of hurricane, swept over the
easterly part of the Bahamas from the
10th to the 18th instant, causing con-
siderable damage to growing crops and
fruit plantations on some parts of the
islands as well as disasters to ships at
sea. A number OF vessels engaged in
sponging and interinsular commerce are
known to have been lost, while accidents
to foreign shipping are being reported.
The American schooner Jonathan
| knight. of Philadelphia, encountered the
gale off Abaco, aud hcr steering apparatus
getting out of order. she went upon the
reef at PalmettoO point, Eleuthera, at
midnight ofthe 18th. and became total
| wreck. Her boats were stove in, her
masts and rigging went by the board, and
all but two of her crew were drowned.
Thomas Severt. second mate, and Anders
| Petersen, q seaman, managed to reach
shore on the cover Of hatch.
On the 10th instant tho stern of q
schooner came ashore about six miles
north of Green Turtle bay, Abaco, and
| from letters upon the woodwork there is
little doubt that it is part of the
schooner San Bias, of Baltimore, vessel
engaged in the fruit trade. The adjacent
beach was strewn with coco anuts,
probably part of the vessels cargo
Nothing has been heard of her crew.
The 330-ton schooner. f. A. Server,
of Philadelphia, Capt. Spaldwin, with
a cargo of coal from Baltimore for
Aspinwall, sprung aleak and was aban-
doned at sea off Harbor Island. The
captain and crew reached Dunnoretown
at p. IN. on the same day in the ships
boat. The bark Scud, of New York, from
Georgetown, Demerara, to New York, ar
rived at Nassau on the 23d ultimo under
jurymasts, having lost all her spars in
the gale. During the gale George WILL
iams, one of the crew, was wauhed over

land from the Buffalo scandal. The

bills were outstanding, as if the party
happened to ''go up Salt river this club
wants to go clear of debt" He was told
there was no debt and the club had o
good balance on hand. 1t was decided to
make no definite arrangements for re-
ceiving the election returns next Tuesday

Maiden Celebrate the Auspioious
Night.

Tho Small boy and the Love-sicis
Maiden Celebrate the Auspioious
Night.
All day yesterday the small boy wore a
mysterious air. He seemed interested in
nothing except the collection of tin cans
aud decayed vegetables which he carried
to remote place until night Then he
was in his glory. The average citizen
may forget that the date Of "Hallow
Fen" Is Oct. 81, but the small boy never
does. He looks forward to 1t with Joyous
anticipation. not for its good results, but
because on that day he regards himself as
privileged to torment the life out of his
fellow.b beings.
Every boy was out ut dark last night,
aud crowds Of them, with all sorts of mis-
siles, thronged many streets. Their fun
consisted OF throwing these pieces of bric-
a-brac at people aud houses, ringing door
bells, tying strings across the sidewalks
to trip people up, aud many other mis-
chievous tricks. This Is the way the
street boy celebrates "All Hallow E'en."
There are also other ways Of celebrating
the event, and some OF the customs bear
the stamp of early superstition that Is
weird and interesting. Several parties
were given and gaines that have been
connected with the ovent were INDUCED
in. Looking over the left shoulder into
a mirror at midnight to find the face Of
her prospective husband is popular prac-
tice with tho young girls. Searching for
the last four-leaf clover in the moon
light, and repeating tho legend begin
ming:
"Hallow cen, hallow cen,
Shall my lover then be seenT'
is said to produce the delinquent lover
while looking for the plant.
These and other games help pass the
time pleasantly, and lend romantic hue
to portion at least of the lives of tho
participants. The event many years
ago was observed as traditional holiday,
and 1t was celebrated in the churches
with impressive ceremonies. The history
of "hallow e'en' has many pretty legends
connected with it, but many of these are
now obsolete, and the custom of celebrat-
ing 1t is rapidly declining in this coun-
try.
In Germany, Norway, Sweden, Scot
land, and some parts of England aud
Wales the day is celebrated as great
event, and it is from these nations, and
especially from those of the Morse lands,
that the customs come, and 1t is there
that 1t still lives in all its glory.
