CHICAGO, May 24.-An unkept looking
crowd of Anarchists, containing a sprink-
ling of Socialists and few peaceably in
clined wOrkingmen, held an open air
meeting on the lake front to-day, at which
the customary expressions against the
tyranny of capital were indulged in for a
time without creating any excite
ment. Finally a local celebrity
among the Anarchists, by whom
he is called Dynamite Dusey," made a
speech of so incendiary character as TO
create serious disturbance, which
would have undoubtedly eliminated in a
Tree fight on large scale but for the
arrival of a squad CT police. The speakers
remarks were received with applause
until he took occasion to abuse the
memory of Abraham Lincoln, whom he
denounced as ''hypOcrite,"
This incensed a number of workingmen,
who Kissed and ordered Dusey to stop
speaking. He retOrted by calling Gen.
Logan "a liar and a thief" and returned
to his abuse OF Lincoln. WOrkingmen
pushed forward and forced the speaker
from the platform. In the tumult which
followed nobody was hurt, and after order
had been restored the meeting was al
lowed TO proceed

THE BIG puNKARD DAMP.
Preparations Made for the Reception of
Thirty Thousand Visitors.


MIFFLINToN, PA, May 22.-The gem
eral annual conference Of the sect known
throughout the United States as German
Baptists, was formally opened to-day on
the grounds at the farm of Mr.. Bashore,
near Mexico, Juniata county, five miles
from here. A succession of brisk showers
rendered the day inauspiciOus and COM
paratively few of the vast number OF
visitors expected were on hand.
A level green field containing
twenty acres forms the site of
the encampment. Here tabernacle and
restaurant, dining room, baggage room,
hospital, drinking troughs and washing
trOughs have been erected. Innumerable
long rows of hitching-pOsts for teams
have been arranged on the north side OF
the grounds. At 1850 this afternoon
Bishop FitZ, of Ohio, opened devotional
service in the huge tabernacle. Bishops
Gish and M00rehead, of Kansas, followed
with brief addresses, exhortiug the
flock to keep steadfast IN the
faith of their fathers, and cautioning them
against inquisitiveness and thirst for for
hidden knowledge. The services were
closed by Bishops HOrning, of Ohio, aud
Brumbaugh, of this State. Devotional
exercises will be held each day at 10 in
the morning and in the afternoon until
Tuesday, when the regular business of
the conference Will be taken up. The
services will then be held at night. In
the intervals between services the com
mittees will prepare certain questions
concerning the church at large for cOnsid-
GRAFTON by the delegates.
Bishop Moore, Of Florida, will preach
tomorrow, when the bulk of the crowd
is expected to arrive. Provision has been
made for the reception of $1,000 people.
large number Of extremely uBconVen-
tional hunks have been improvsed in Mr..
BashOre's barn, close to the camp, and in
these the majority OF the visitors will be
accommodated, while the high dignitaries
Of the church will receive entertainment
at neighbOring farm houses and surround
ing towns.
Annual conferences Of this sort have
been held regularly by the Dunkard de-
nomination since before the year 1700.
One year the meetings are held at some
point in the east, the next in the west
and next in the centre and so on. The
sect has principally emanated from this
State. They are closely allied in their
essential doctrine of immersion with the
United Brethren and Winebrennarians
and in some localities they are known as
the Amish and Mennonites. They count
their members by thousands In all parts
Of this country and are particularly
numerous in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
They follow farming as their distinctive
profession. They are characterized by
extreme plainness of speech ard sim
piicity Of manners. The men are disiin-
guished by brOad-brimmed hats, home
spun suits, long flowing beard and hair
cut straight behind, ana the women by
large bonnets and plain gowns, though
sometimes made Of very costly materials
The younger generation, however, and
! especially those reared In large cities, do

"A German father and free mulatto
woman, born in this city in 1876. She
grew up beautiful woman, eager
to learn and evincing strong
traits OF character, with an
earnest Reconsideration aud she re-
ceiyed the best education allowed to peo-
Dle of her race and caste. Early In life
she found delight in doing good, feeding
the poor and teaching the catechism 10
the neglected colored children. She was
wont to attend the religious ceremonies at
the Carneiite convent. She found two
free colOred girls imbued with the same
spirit, and the three determined 10 begin
carrying out their aims, a mammoth un-
dertaking for three weak women. Joseph
ine Charles, Harriet DeLisle and Juliet
| Gaudet vowed to devote all they had OF
earthly means to establish an order Tor the
education OF young girls OF
color and the succOr and relief Of poor,
helpless old colOred people and orphan
girls. Those were slavery days. The
first work undertaken by the little reli-
gious community was the teaching OF
poor slave children, and. encouraged by
Catholic clergy, although breakers Of the
statute law, the famous black, code maxi
ing their labors a crime, they accom-
plished a great deal. A convent WAS

fine her work TO the house over which ahe
presided. Three years after opening the
house on Chartres street she founded "A
branch at OpelOusas. In 1875 she opened
a home for aged and infrn cOlOred people
on 50. Bernard, between Viliere and Ma
rails streets. ON Jan. %. 1879, she instituted
an orphan asylum for cOiOred girls nc

She increased the order constantly by her
teaching and her examples. and accom-
pished a great work Of benefit for the

more wonderful and creditable when Il 70

Rose COghlan's Pretty Sister starts a
Sensation at Baltimore.
Frona a Mornifla ,Eonrnnl.

From the AorntHg Journal.
BALTIMORE, May 22.-The matter of
petticOats has raised quite rumpus
among the pretty maids who grace the
stage of the Holiday Street Theatre in the
play Of ''The Naiad Queen"
Miss Ely COghlan, the pretty sister of
the fair Rosie, had been engaged to play
the part of the Queen, and did it with a
graceiulness that materially added to the
merits of the piece, but with one draw
back. She refused to appear in the sort OF
apparel fairies are generally supposed to
wear, and no little comment was Oc-
casioned thereby.
A magnificent white satin dress,
trimmed with cut steel and pearl was
procured for her. It fitted her superb
figure nicely and she made quite daz-
ziing appearance, but it was rdiculously
long for Naiad's costume, and the other
Raiads on the stage looked chilly in their
pOstai-card costumes.
For the first week Messrs. Mann and
BenOit, the managers, put up with a fairy
in evening dress, but did so under protect,
| and early this week all the company saw
row was brewing between their fair
queen and the managers.
On Monday night the management
| firmly informed Miss Coghlan that she
must wear shorter skirts. She COM
plained, but consented and appeared the
following night with about two inches
less.
This was not enough and a limit was
prescribed that so shocked the fair
Queens mOdesty that she burst into tears,
and fatty refused TO appear in what she
considered an indelicate rig.
This occurred before the performance
began, and the scene made her sick, and
at the end of the second act she stated
that she bad to 20 10 her hotel.
The stage manager threatened to fine
her II she did. but she went. her place
being fiiled for the remainder OF the even
ing by Miss Anna Caldwell.
Miss Coghlan appeared the following
afternoon 10 participate In the matinee,
but was informed that her place had been
filed by Miss Helen Windsor. Of New
Ork, who wore the regulation tights
and short skirts. She demanded her
weeks salary, but that was refused her,
being withheld as a fine for her leaving
the theatre during the performance and
nearly running the play.
She has entered suit for the money and
has left for New York 10 seek consolation
from her sister, Miss Rose Coghlan.

the big tank still exists, concealed from
general view in the shabby building at
Centre and Reade streets. 1t has long
since ceased to provide New York with
water, but it is kept full and ready for
use, 80 that the charter shall not be for
felted. This is a condition of the per-
petual lease by which the Stewart estate
holds the ground on which the tank
stancs. BY queer coincidence the jaui-
tor of the building, whose duty IL is 20 see
that the tanks condition complies with
the charter, lives in the old-iashioned
tWo-story dwelling, dwarted by the tall
stores with which it is surrounded, on the

A BUSINESS MAN
L know Of had what Rabelais would have
called a very bad quarter OF an hour IN
the Astor House OarroOm the other day.
He had given his wife nearly all his
money, reserving only enough to pay his
car fare down town. When ne got to the
Astor House he felt thirsty, and forget
ting that he had no money TO pay for IL
went in and got cocktail. 1t was not
until after he had disposed OF it, and
searched his empty pockets, that he
realized the situation. The cashier
looked upon him suspiciously. while the
barteuders winked at each other as he
continued the search in the vain hope Of
finding tie price of the cocktail concealed
in his clothing. His patience was at last
rewarded. He found a $50 gold piece,
which he carried as keepsake, and
brought 1t forth IN triumph, intending 10
speedily redeem 1t. Insult was now added
to 1nsOlence, The cashier tested the coin
by biting tt before he finally made the
necessary change! The man who had
this pleasant experience was more or less
ireqHenter of the AstOr House, aBd
often spent money there freely. The
cashier, however, failed to recognize him,
and supposed he belonged to that numer-
Gus army Of dead beats, which will risk
personal onastsement, ana even impris-
Onment, for the sake of drink. 1t is
needless TO say that the $40 piece was
redeemed as soon as the owner reached
his office and got the funds to do IL with.
The regular theatrical season mas prac-
tically come 60 an end. and the places Of
amusement are principally occupied by
the strolling companies that add new ter
rors TO summer in New York. The Ly-
ceum and Thalia theatres close with the
week, and the Madison Square Theatre,
contrary to its custom, will close soon in
place Of keeping open all summer, as 1t
used 10 do. By closing, | mean that its
regular company will abandon it, and il
will he let TO whoever can pay the rent.
The Casino and the Bliou Opera are the
during the hot weather under their regu-
lar management. A comparatively good
entertainment, however, will be afforded
for some time to come at Wallack's,
where Tine Black Hussar'' has met with
some success. ID.
