An American in st. Paul's.

Religion is not dead in England. It
is not dying IN England. Nor has the
Established Church of England In the
least lost its hold upon the reverence and
affection of the people of England
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock ST.
Paul's Cathedral was literally thronged
in every inch of hearing or seeing room.
There we're at a rough guess, from TO-
900 to 5000 souls under the earnest
and scholarly voice of Canon Liddon.
And who were the people, from what
classes and conditions of society did they
come? My answer is simple, compre-
hensive and accurate. They were all
sorts of people and from all classes and
conditions of society. Among the 2, 600
people whom / saw standing I remarked
men, women and youths who evidently
belonged to the laboring and artisan
classes and in chair two rows in front
of where sat / recognized Mr.. James
Anthony Froude, and sitting near him
was young lady whom took to be his
daughter, as the illustrious historian and
litterateur frequently referred to her
Book of Common Prayer, as if to keep
the order of the service, which he
outwardly followed and observed with
signs of deepest devoutness.
1t was refreshing to see poor people
in a Christian church, One always sees
such people in the churches of Great
Britain and every where on the continent.
When Marshal MacMahon was president
of the French Republic I remember to
have seen him in st. Roch's Church in
Paris at high mass, kneeling upon his
flag bottomed chair and next to him a
nurse in her pretty white cap-she as
self-respecting as the great soldier and
civilian. But, remember, I was just
back in London from America. No
doubt poor people do go to church In
America. Of course they do. But it
has been my misfortune perhaps my
shame-not to see them. I attended re-
igious worship six Sundays the last fall
in five different churches of the different
denominations and IN different parts of
the United States and on no occasion
did see q man, a woman or a youth
whom took to be laborer or an artisan
with the exception of one Sunday in a
New England village. America is the
exception to the rule in all Chris
tendon.

Tight Trousers to Vanish.
From the New York SUM-

"Tight trousers will not be fashion
able this spring,"a tailor said yester-
day. SIN fact, comparatively wide
trousers will be the extreme style.
Those most worn will be neither very
tight nor very wide. F'rock coats will
have a good run, and four and fve-but-
ton cutaway coats will be worn. The
cutaway will not be so pronounced as
it has been, and will only show one
waistcoat button. All the coats, even
to the sacks, are curved into the figure.
and will fit snugly. Top coats also will
be cut to show off the figure. For
suits, checks and stripes seem to be fav-
ored, and diagonals will be put into top
coats"

TEXAS LAND PROBLEM.
The Land Board Takes Measures to Bring
Vagrant Grazers to the Mark.

The Land Board Takes Measures to Bring
Vagrant Grazers to the Mark.
AUSTIN, Tex. February 29.-The Texas
Land Board yesterday withdrew from
sale all watered sections of free-school,
asylum, and public lands, and fixed the
maximum taxable land that can be pur-
chased by any individual at one section
and of pasture land at two sections, in
conformity with the public land policy
OF selling to actual settlers only, and
OF preserving water facilities for the
benefit of the community. This
action will reduce stock raisers own
ing cattle in excess Of their grazing
capacity to the alternative of selling
their surplus stock or leasing land from
the state at increased rentals. It will
probably incite the stock-raisers who
heretofore enjoyed free-pass privilege to
attempt all evasion of the laws; but the
government, supported by the great
body of the public, is determined that
the law shall be rigidly enforced, and
the possibility of its being set aside by
the supreme court loses importance from
the certainty that the next legislature
would pass hawless acts of the same i'm
port. 1t is no longer to be doubted that
free grass, with the unequal advantages
secured by the capitalist in the quarrel
over it, has been the cause of agrarian-
ism

A PLOT FOR A NOVELIST.

Ihe Case of u. w. Lake, Who, 1T is AL
legged, Married His Own Daughter.
New YORK, February 29.-G. W.
Lake, of Staten Island, who was SEN
fenced to states prison for ten years for
marrying bis child, has been released
by the court sentencing him, for the
reason that there IS a doubt as to
whether the Judgment should stand,
and he is now out on bail until the case
can be reviewed. It appears from
statements which have been made
that Lake, when quite young, became
intimate with a young girl in the New
England town in which he resided, and.
in order to escape the responsibility
which seemed inevitable, he disappeared.
After several years he returned but
what became of the young lady in the
meantime Is not known. He found,
however, a little girl running about the
streets neglected. He cared for her for
some time. Another desire to roam took
possession of Lake, and he travelled
abroad. After many years he returned
to his native place again, and was in
troduced to young woman in whom he
became interested. He thought she
was necessary to his happiness, and af-
ter q while he proposed that she should
become his wife. They were married
and were living together, when it was
intimated, and then asserted by some of
the older inhabitants, that the girl whom
Lake had taken for his wife was the
same girl for whom he provided for
time and was his daughter,

PianOfOrte Music.
CFrom the London Times. ]


The clavictherium was introduced
about 1910 by the Italians, it was kind
of oblong Tyre, with catgut strings ar
ranged in the form of an upright triangle.
KEYS were used to raise the hard leather
plectra which twanged the strings. This
was the only keyed instrument in which
catgut or violin strings were employed.
All the latter ones beginning with the
clayichord, had wire strings. The
clavichord, whose wires were set in mo-
ton by pressure on the keyboard, had
but feeble tone; still under ansartistic
hand it yielded excellent music, being
favorable to staccato passages, and CIV
ing great prominence to the melody.
1t was the fl,vorite instrument of Sc
bastian Bach. The virginia. had brass
wires, and the sound was produced by a
piece of ravens or crows quill. The
virginia. had compass of only four oc.
taves, but It's touch was extremely sen
sitiYe. This instrument was Queen
Ehzabeth's fayorite, but it was not
named, as was thought by some, in
honor Of the Virgin Queen. for 1t was in
use under her royal father and sister.
It was most likely styled the virginia.
from It's common use by the nuns In
their hymns to the Virgin, The.spinet,
or instruments di penna resembled in
shape a harp laid horizontally. Clavecin
and clavier were the respective French
and German names OF a harpsichord.
The Italians used the clavictheTium

Horizontal Wallpaper.
[From an English Exchange


I think it would be a great advantage
and novelty to print ali the papers to
hang horizontally, as well as the bor-
ders. It requires very good care and
precision to get the filling paper per-
fectIy upright, and if the first length
hung at the beginning of long wall,
say twenty feet, should be the least out
of a perpendicular, scarcely visible under
the plumb-line, it would make differ
ence easily discernible at the other end.
In set pattern especially it is necessary
to hang the dado border all around the
room to certain mark or pattern in the
filing paper. The plan I adopt besides
hanging the filing paper perfectly up
right is to draw horizontal line round
the room about two feet down from the
cornice in order that might prove the
uprightness of the filling by getting a
certain mark on the pattern in the line
throughout as we'll as matching on the
vertical edge. By hanging the filing
paper horizontally, accuracy may be OBJ
tanned In an easier and more perfect
manner. In designing filing paper
for the purpose. it may perhaps be
found necessary to give different char
acter to that which is hung vertically.

The ella Monster.
Esanta Fe Cor. Cleveland Leader.l

ISanta Fe Cor. Cleveland Leader.l
The lizard family attains great per-
lection III the southwest, climaxing in
the famous and horrible creature called
the ella monster of Arizona. This is a
big, black lizard from foot to four
feet in length. He has pair of villain
GUS, bead-ike eyes in his head beneath
a couple of horny eyebrows that gives
his mug an uncommonly ferocious ex-
preston. Around his neck is a broad
band of beautiful yellow. The Arizona
prospectors tell the widest tales about
the poisonous qualities of the ella mon
ster, some even claiming that the rep
tile kills it's prey by breathing on it.
This is probably decidedly fshy snake
story, or snaky fish story, whichever

The First Million Greenbacks.
(From the Cleveland Leader. }


Mr.. Sturtevant, of the stationery d.
vision of the treasury, carried the first
two million of greenbacks from Wash
ington over the mountains 20 the West.
"The greenbacks," says he, twere in
common mail bags, andI had to sit with
loaded revolver to watch them. re-
member it was in October, and though
warm in Washington it grew bitter cold
when we got to the mountains. l had
neglected to bring my overcoat and I
almost froze. carried the money via
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, and a few
months later took a second million in
the same way. After this it was noised
abroad that the greenbacks were being
distributed in this unsafe way, and the
government made contract with the
express companies to carry them"

THE IASKER RESOLUTIONS.

Secretary FreIinghuysen Officially Notified
of Bismarck's Action.
WASHINGTON, February 2S. = The
state department., at late hour yeater-
dav afternoon, received the Herr Lasker
resolutions returned by Bismarck. The
resolutions will be delivered TO the
house, and will be referred to the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, which will con-
slider what course shall be taken. The
opinion among members as to what
should be done is very much divided.
There will be a strong movement to
place Bismarck return of the resolution
in the light of an atfront, and an effort
will be made to secure congressional ex-
preston in that direction. On the other
hand, some congressman are inclined to
look on Bismarck's objection as we'll
taken, and cannot see that the house is
in position to do anything. The gen
eral feeling, however, is one OF lndigna-
ton, and the house will be apt to pass
a resolution expressing its poor opinion
of Prince Bismarck.
Speaker Carlisle has received the fol-
lowing:
BERLIN, January 81, 1SS4.-To the House of
Representatives.: The undersigned executive
committee of the Liberal Union has the honor
to express, at the request Of all its members,
who are to-day present from the various parts
of the German empire, to the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington, its warmest thanks
for the resolutions which they have passed IN
honor OF Edouard Lasker, its late leader and
friend. The Liberal Union combines with this
acknowledgment of its thanks the most heart
felt wishes for the welfare and prosperity of
the powerful and rising United States of Amer
lea, and for the strengthening and further de-
velopment of the mutual friendship between
both nations.
The Executive Committee of the Liberal
Union: L. BANIBERGER RUECKERT,

FRIEDRICH KAPP.
Representative Deuster wisconsin,
has the communication In his possession.
He will translate it, and at the frs op-
portunity lay it before the house. Rep
resentative Deuster will be followed by
Representative Guenther (Wisconsin),
who will move to spread the communi-
cation on the journal. He will show
that it bears the signatures of number
OF the most prominent citizens CT Ger
many, and will maintain that it is there
fore worthy of this consideration.
German members of the house Of rep
reseutati7es say the very best of feeling
always existed between Prince Bismarck
and Lasker, that the latter always sup
ported the former, and IN conversation
was invariably enthusiastic in his praises
of Bismarck. These points will be
brought out in brief speeches on the
subject by representatives DeUster
(democraD and Guenther (repubican).
TO whose care the communication has
been mtrusted by Speaker Carlisle.

A Strong Mans Weakness.
EFrom the pittsburg OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

EFrom the Pittsburg Telegraph hronicle.I
The world is check full of incongru-
tiles. There is, for instance, the big
bearded man with voice like the Bull
of Bashan. He comes before the audi
ence and sings ST Fear No Foe," IN
bravura style, and in way that drops
bits of plaster from the ceiling. And
in two hours thereafter that man will be
going up-stairs in his stocking feet
lest he wake a 110-pound wife. And
next morning he gets up meekly and
kindles three fires.

No More Wigs.

The use of Episcopal wigs has entirely
gone out In England. Sumner, Arch
bishop of Canterbury, was the last to
wear one. He died in 1862. James
Monk, the handsome Bishop of Glouces-
ter, wore one for a great part of his
episcopate, but discarded it just before
his death. The last head of house in
Oxford to wear the wig was the late ven
cradle president of Magdalen, DR..
Routh, who died in 1854, having attained
within few weeks of the patriarchal
age of 100.

Stoekmen in New Mexico and
 Texas are agitating the passage of a law requiring every owner of stock to advertise his brand in a newspaper published in the locality in which his range is. situated. An advertised brand not only discourages tnetts of cattle, but also serves as one of the best means of detecting such theGs. Billy Woodruff the we'll known and popular clerk with J. H. Breed & Co.,, at Winslow, has been making a visit among his friends in Flagstaff during the present week. Billy has had ! good time, and his many friends in our town vii! always be glad to re- ceive him. He left for home on Thursday.
 Pat H amil,on is again on his tray els. having left Phenix last week on a regular tour through the Territory to collect material for the second edition of his Resources of Arizona, to which he proposes to add about I5o pages of new and interesting matter, and also several engra.ings.

 On Sunday last, large party ot Flagstaff people visited the Cliff Dwellers, about twelve miles distant, and made the exploration of that fam ous and popular resort. Among those in the party. were Mir. and Mrs. Judge Hicks, w. NJ. Fain and family, F. w. Middleton and family, Mir. Birge and family. Mrs. J. B. Thomas, Miss Cruthers, Miss Winnie Johnston, Miss Hawks, Miss Rosie Cummings. Mrs. Stemmer, Mrs. Leonard, Peter ]. Brannen, Dr. Brannen, Sam King, Major Minor, Ben Chester, C. H. Butler, J. E. Mccormick and Mir. and Mrs. A. F.. Fay. Major Minor acted as guide, and knowing the country so we'll, was valuable acqui- sition to the party.
 Our esteemed townsman, Major Minor, has laid out a new road to the Cliff Dwellers, which greatly shortens the distance, and makes the popular resort easy of access with teams, and saves great deal Of climbing which has hitherto been done by the old route. as it saves the great descent to the bottom of the canon and thence mp the opposite side to the Cliff Dwell lers proper. By the new route se- le"ied bv Major Minor, parties are land-d directly at the Cliff, where steps m the rocks, probably made by the inhabitants of those mysterious abodes in their time, lead one easily to the spot, from which the scenery is grand.
