The Queens Secretary.

London lines.
1.-The resignation of Mr.. Lohlein,
who for many years has acted as sec
rotary to the queen at Windsor" In
derneath is another paragraph, in
which the said Lohlein offers reward
of ESQ for information which will lead
to the discovery of the person who
broke into his room in Windsor Cas-
tie about two months ago and alb
stracted a quantity of valuable jewel
ry. There has been great deal of
gossip about the business, and the
Resignation" has caused almost as
much excitement in the royal house
hold as did the death OF
John Brown. Lohlein came from
Cogberg with Prince Albert in 1910
and he was in his service as principal,
valet till the princes death, after
which he was transferred to the
queens establishment. Lohlein was
not secretary, but was personal
servant to the queen. He was the
only person about the court with
whom John Brown never attempted
in any way to interfere, but "the
Highlander" was supposed to be very
jealous of Lohlein's Influence. His
sudden disappearance from the scene
| is, therefore, considered to be decided
ly remarkable, and altogether it is q
very curious affair. Lohlein has
lived entirely at Windsor for a long
time past, and has occupied house
within the castle precincts. He re
tires on good pension.

AGAINST BLAINE.
The Orangemen Resolved to Vote for the
Democratic Nominee.

The Orangemen Resolved to Vote for the
Democratic Nominee,
From the Philadelphia Times.
OF the seventy Orangemen from all
parts of the United States in attend
ance upon the Orange Grand Lodge,
now sitting in this city, not one
could be found to countenance the
idea that the Grand Lodge or its sub
ordinate chapters would for mo-
ment entertain the idea of taking any
official action in regard to Mr.. Blaine's
candidacy for the presidency, but the
delegates were almost equally unani-
nous in their expressions of diSsatis-
faction with the republican nominal
ton. The objection to Mr.. Blaine is
that he Is suspected of being Ro-
man Catholic. 1t has been represent
ed that the Orange organization is
almost solidly republican, but the
delegates say there is a considerable
sprinkling OF democrats among their
members, the proportion of republic
| cans being Var1ouSly stated at from
two-thirdS to nine-tenthS of the
whole order.
Said Grand Secretary James Walker,
OF Providence, Rhode Island: THE
| Orangemen, as an association, have
nothing to do with politics, and it
cannot be introduced into the lodges,
but /, as an individual, though hith-
erto always voting the republican
ticket, shall not vote for Mr.. Blaine
and l believe most of the order in
Rhode Island are of my opinion
Many Will stay at home, but if d
worthy democrat is nominated, many
will vote for him. The eighteen thou
sand Orangemen of this country cast
or control forty thousand votes, and
believe those votes would be cast SOL
idly for Bayard, or Cleveland, or Ran
dali, as against Blaine. Orangemen
are generally protectionists, as well as
republicans"

I'll vote for the most radical democrat
as against Blaine" said DR.. Thomas
T. Phillips, o. Newport, KY, the new

ParSee Women.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The development Of feminine in
telligence is not confined to one coun-
try nor one race. Even the Parsee
women are rising n the scale of en-
lightenment. A Parsee lady writes
to an Indian paper letter in which
she shows that whereas in 1912 not
more than five Parsee girls had
learned English, their knowledge of
the English language is now very
wide. They prefer to initiate the
European rather than the Hindoo,
and in an interesting history of their
picturesque costume, the champion
takes occasion to rejoice that the
days of nose rings, forehead marks
and rafting anklets are now over; and
she maintains that the changes in the
surface are merely typical of many
social reforms" It is admitted that
the Parsee girls are prone to emula.

both eyes in such a manner as to

by until he was sober enough to give
any clew to his nights debauch
when he acknowledged that
he was party to a fight
which took place near the
west end of the Eagle

of the river, and that he had no
knowledge as to how he came to be

DICK BULIAN.

Hope Deferred MaIxeth the Heart Sick,
Mr.. Richard Bulian, the well-known
caterer, had something of a sensation
at his restaurant yesterday. Two
gentlemen from the country came
into his restaurant and ordered
some fish, but imagining that they were
not being served as promptly as they
should, took offense and made their
exit. Mr.. Bulian fastened after them
and attempted to explain to them that
it took longer to prepare fish than
some other things, but not succeeding
in winning the gentleman back, de-
manded that they pay for what
they had ordered. This they refused
to do. Bylian called an officer, when
one of them showed back his coat and
placing his hand upon a pistol, in
formed Mr.. Bulian that he was some
thing of an officer himself. Bulian
tried to have this gent arrested for
crrrying a pistol, but found him
to be sheriff Of Hamilton county and
not liable to arrest upon that charge.
steps were being taken last evening
to try another tack upon the gentle
man in the shape Of charge that
would stick, but the whole matter
was finally adjusted without further
lnterfer ence from the police.

"A venerable Recital OF the Virtues that

From the New York Times TRep.l.
We are aware that the Blaine re-
publicans have nerved themselves in
advance against this downpour. They
stand perfectly erect. They are proud
OF their triumph and scout all proph-
estes OF disaster. That "gaYety of
heart" with which the French sailed
out against the Germans in a famous
march to Berlin which they projected
but did not make, is theirs. They
propose to take the bull by the horns.
Did Speaker Blaine pass quite over the
bounds of personal honor and official
discretion in his dealings with the Lit
tie Rock and Fort Smith people. Who
cares? He's no worse than the rest.
He's smart, our Jim. Did Secretary
Blaine debase the state department
to the low level of a claim agency,
and bully friendly power then in
sore pain in the interests of guano
syndicate. Who says this? We never
heard of it. But what if he did? He's
plucky, our Jim is. He'll wiring the
British lions tail short off, beard the
brute Bismarck in his den, and make
kings jump, our jim will. Has he
not been identified with sectional1sm
with spoils-seeking, with partisan In

with reforms that make government
better, honester, cheaper? What If he

witch Piers last night with the crew of
the Wrecktd bark Alumni, which sank
in collision with an iceberg on the
18th of last month. Dennis G. Rus
sell, one of the reScured sailors, told
the following story of the wreck:
at was two bells in the morning

port your heiml ice right aheadl and
the same instant there was terrific
crash of splintering spars, which
brought all hands on deck. Towering
high above our heads was the ghostly
form of an iceberg, against which our
vessel had driven at full speed, All
three masts had gone by the
board and the carpenter
sounding the well at the same instant
reported six feet of water in the hold.
Discipline was gone and the crew
made break for the boats, which
were lowered into the water. Some
provisions were hastily dropped in
and we pulled away from the wreck
just in time to escape the whirl of the
waters as the bark sank under the lee
of the iceberg. As near as we could
make out from our dead reckoning we
were about $50 miles S. S. E. of Cape
Race and in the track of the steamers
bound to the eastward.

THE CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
A Preachers Praises for General Gordon,
the Pacifier of the Soudan.

A Preachers Praises for General Gordon
the Pacifier of the Soudan.
From the Philadelphia Times.
/ "To be a christian soldier means
more than most people are aware, u
said Rev. Waldo Messaros, from his
pulpit last evening: "The christian
soldier must endure sickness, poverty
ond trouble. He must be loyal. The
church is the barrack or drill-room
and the minister but the recruiting
sergeant. The christian soldier needs
courage to maintain his principles.
Such a soldier is General Gordon, now
in Khartoum, in the Soudan. His
grandfather was the owner of the
three cargoes of tea which were
dumped into Boston Harbor over a
century ago. In 1861 he went to
China and at the head of the native
contingent he put an end to the Taep-
ing rebellion and established peace in
the Chinese empire. On his return to
England he was lionized by the people
and courted by the aristocracy as he
70 andno forgotten in day, as in this
country. England keeps her heroes
on hand, but America turns them out
to Craze every little while and secures
new supply. Gordon now turned
his attention to evening schools for
shoe-blacks and ragged children.
When the trouble came in the Soudan
Gordon was sent as the only man who
could solve the problem. When he
took command at Khartoum he said:
BY Gods help 1 intend to bold the
balance level and he restored such
peace to the Soudan as it had never
known. There is deal of fallacy in
the newspaper reports from that
country. Gordon's life is not in dan
ger. He would be safe in the hands
of the Arabs now, because they recog-
niZe that he is an honest man. The
government is assured of his
safety, and this accounts for the with
drawal of their troops. An honest
man, generous gentleman, a christ
ian soldier, he trusted in God and was
willing to risk his life to bring peace
to that troubled land. 1t should
thrill our hearts that loyalty, courage
and christian virtues are still alive in
the world"

Photographing a Corpse.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Thomas Blythe, millionaire, died in
California more than year ago, leay-
ing no will. In few months a score
of relatives apperred, eager for share
of his estate. His body was elnbalm-
ed, and for three months it remained
in the undertaker's rooms, where the
alleged widow of the dead man paid
daily visits and exhibited theatrical
grief over the remains. The body was
finally transferred to vault in GEM
etery. Last week, at the request of
English relatives, it was decided to
photograph the corpse, so the vault
was opened. The body was found
life-like in appearance, and, the coffin
being placed on end, a very good
picture of the eccentric millionaire
was taken.

one. The beads are of four kinds
long smooth, plain blue bead, made
of glass; a round green bead, with red,
white and blue eyes or sets; a turnip-
shaped white bead, that resembles a
miniature vegetable of that species,
and cylindrical red bead that is bad
ly corroded by time and other causes.
The last three varieties are made of
stone or shell, and there are twenty
four varieties in all resurrected. The
cross and beads evidently date back as
the time of the early Indian missions
in the Mississippi valley, perhaps to
the time of Marquette and Joliet, in
1879. AS they were found in COM
pany with an Indian pipe and some
arrow heads they were all probably
the property of some converted In
