TWAIN AND CABLE.
The HumorIst and Novelist Do Not
Agree Wen together.


NEW YORK, May II -Rumors of a ri-
angular row have gone out from the Eyei-
EFT House and thence penetrated the re-
hottest corners of the literary metropolis.
The story grew as it spread, until it told
of personal conflict, even listicuh, between
Mark Twain, Major j. b. Pond and George
w. Gable, but when inquiry was to-day
made as to whether two of the named no.
tables had fallen upon the third, or each
of the three had assaulted the two others,
the tremendous eXaggeration was dis
closed.
The tour which Twain and Cable lately
made as readers of their own works, I'M
der the management Of Pond, resulted in
profit and ill-humOr equally large. Twain
was the originator of the scheme, and he
invited Gable to his home in Hartford,
where the details of the proposed enter
tainment were arranged. 1t is Ponds
business to manage the lecturers and other
lyceum performers, and he was offered a
partnership in the enterprise. The con-
tract provided that the travelling expenses,
added to the costs Of advertising and halls,
should first be deducted from the receipts
and the remainder divided into three equal
shares for the partners. They did not
follow the common practice of engaging
with local societies, but trusted wholly to
novelist to draw audiences independently
at theatrical prices. When they returned
from the successful venture and put up
at the Everett, where Pond and Twain
live a considerable portion of their time,
it was observed that amicability had de-
parted from the midst of the trio. Gable
talked vaguely to his friends of the hog
gishness on the part of Twain in get
ting a disprOpOrtionate share of the
OI in
ing acrimony that he would never,
never 90 on the platform again; but
Ponds plant was less sentimental, for il
related to the nature OF the charges which
his companions made as "traYeling eX-
penses." Cable was the chief offender in
that way. His theory was that so highly
luxurious a thing as champagne and so
lowly a one as the backing of his boots
properly belonged to the partnership ac-
count, and Pond declares that the bills
rendered by Gable are greater curiosities
of literature than the best of his Creole
dialect. All three admit that the firm of
Twain, Gable and Pond is permanently
dissolved

WIDOW BARRIOS.
Her Arrival at New York With an Army
of Servants.

Her Arrival at New York With an Army
of Servants.
NEW YORK, May 11.-Mme. Barrios,
widow Of the late President of Guate-
mala, arrived from San Francisco last
night at 8 o'clock and took quarters at
the Langham Hotel. She was accom-
panied by her eight children and over
sixteen Guatemalans, who acted in the
capacity of bOdy-guard and servants.
Addison Cammack and several other
brokers, who were in the hotel at
the time Of the arrival, thought
that a party of Indians under
Buffalo Bill were out on a parade.
Early this morning Mrs. BarriOs
in company with her eldest son, Antonio,
who was a cadet at West Point, drove in
a carriage to her residence, No. 931 Fifth
avenue. She inspected it thoroughly from
basement to garrett and gave those in
charge orders to have the house readyto be
occupied tomorrow. She went to the front
window and, although it was raining, she
had it raised to look out at Central Park.
She appeared sad, and was dressed in
deep mourning. Antonio was in good
spirits and smiled and talked necessarily.
They went back TO the Langham Hotel
before 10 O'Clock.
A reporter called. The clerk at the ho-
tel was figuring on a piece of paper and
running his fingers through his hair in

"Sheis in, very muchlY," hurriedly re-
Piled the clerk.
"How many has she in her party?"
"lf you will tell me l will be indebted

At that moment there was a peculiar
sound along the corridor as if gOngs, chop
sticks and tomtOms were beating. "They
are coming" he said.

The servants, composed of native men
and women, Guatemalaus, filed past going
to breakfast. They are low in stature,
with retreating foreheads and dun, GIN
gerbread-brown in color. All were talk
ing at once. Presently Mrs. BarriOs, her
son Antonio, the little children and several
friends passed. She felt fatigued from
her long trip and begged to be excused
from talking.

BISMARCK MOVED TO PITY.
A Wife's Appeal Against the Exile OF
Her Husband.

LONDON, May 1.-THE expulsion of
Poles and othe' Russian subjects who
have not taken steps to obtain German
naturalization papers continues actively
in the Eastern provinces of Prussia.
Despite the denials of Herr Won PuttRa-
mer, the Prussian Minister of the In
terror, it is now known that he has re-
ceiyed imperative orders to enforce the
decree ofexpulsion pitilessly-not sparing
even lifelong settlers. These rigorous
orders frequently result in fragrant in
justice and cruel hardships.
An interesting case recently occurred
at Beuthen, in Upper Sllesia. A rich
Pole, who had married a Prussian woman
and had reared family of children, who
had grown up and settled at and near
Beuthen, was summary ordered to leave
the Kingdom and the Empire. Under the
law his wife and children were at liberty
to stay, but he must 90. The sons were
established in business and the daughters
were married, ard it became a question
with them whether they should abandon
their shops and husbands or permit their
father to 90 into exile alone. Suddenly
the wife and mother, who is a most pat
riotic German, remembered a subscrip-
ton of 100 marks which she had made
toward the great birthday gift for Prince
Bismarck. She had never seen the Prince,
but she reasoned that if he knew the facts
he would never drive from his home a
man who had lived all his life I'm Ger
many, who had reared sons to serve as
soldiers for the fatherland, and who had
helped to buy back SchOenhausen.
She had heard much of the stern dispO-
sition Of the Chancellor, but the case was
desperate and she made her way to Berlin
to present her petition to the great man.
She went armed with the receipt tor her
donation and with documentary evidence
of the services of her sons in the German
army. When she was finally admitted to
Blsmarck's presence she threw herself
upon her knees, and, with many tears and
much rude eloquence, she pleaded her
husbands cause. Her prayer was so eff
tectual that the Chancellor cancelled the
order of exile with his own hand, and told
the devoted wife that Germany could not
spare such good parents of German sol
diers.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Gen. HancOek's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
on Trial for Murder.

ATLANTA, May 11.-Gen. Hancock is
looking about industriously to find the
proper site for permanent barracks near
Atlanta. He is besieged by real estate
agents and property-holders, who are
anxious to sell. The General fayors a
site four or five miles from the
city. He is much pleased with the
city and its surroundings. Though he
has declined a formal banquet there has
been a constant stream of callers since
his arrival, and everybody seems anxious
to show the popular appreciation OF his
visit to Atlanta.
Cal Varnadoe, a young man % years
old, is on trial for murder. He is charged
with stabbing to death Asbury White
head on Dec. IS. 1888. They had been
drinking together, and just before start
ing home had some words which
resulted in Narnadoe's cutting
Whitehead. He claims that he did
it in self-defense, as White
head was a much more powerful man, and
was beating him severely. The killing
created quite a sensation in Atlanta,
where both young men were well known.
Narnadoe has been out on bond for more
than a year, and his friends are confident
Of acquittal. He is defended by Mai. 5.

having eaten nothing but eight oranges in
that time. Fasts for twenty days are not
uncommon. Every night each patient
receives the treatment from the doctor
or one Of his assistants. This consists of
rubbing with the hands on the head and
body. In this respect it is similar to the
methods Of the magnetic healers, but the
doctor says there is no magnetism about
his work. He calls it: GA creative act, a
changing of the polarity" SO that the
Overshadowing power of God may oper-

DIR. BOwen's ideal is to found a commu-
nifty in California which shall be the
nucleus of the great coming nation of
which he is to be the head. He says that
the present social, moral and govern
mental systems are all right, and need
only perfection, publication, and admin
lstrati0n under the oversh allowing power
OF God. The sacredness of the family re-
lation he particularly maintains as neces-
sary to the NATURALIZATION Of the human
organism, which is the peculiar feature
Of his ideal future.
There have been forty inmates Of the
sanitarium, mostly women beyond the
middle age, and almost all with the wan
and hopeless countenances that are
usually associated with the women of The
Oneida Community, but the number now
is only about a dozen.

MT. VERNON.
Railroad Connection with Washington
To be Open to All.

Railroad Connection with Washington
To be Open to All.
WASHINGTON, May IA surveying
party is now at work preparatory to the
construction of a railroad from this city
to Mount Vernon. The distance is fifteen
miles. The track of the Pennsylvania
Road will be used to Alexandria, and
from there there will be a narrow gauge
road built a distance of eight miles. Ii is
thought that the trip can be made in about
three hours, giving visitors one hour at
Mt. Vernon. At present the means Of
connection is by steamboat, which
makes but one trip each day, and that at
a time of the day that visitors would like
to spend in this city. The matter of the
railroad connection will be considered at
the next annual meeting Of the Board of
Lady Regents of Mount Vernon, which
takes place in June.
There are some other matters of import
ance TO be considered at this meeting. At
present an admission fee of 80 cents is
charged the steamboat for each passenger
that visits Mount Vernon. The purpose
of this was to secure an endowment fund
of sufficient amount so that the interest
received from it viii be enough to main
tain the Mount Vernon estate. 1t IS I'M
derstOOd that while this endowment fund
is not large enough now il will be by the
time Of the next annual meeting, when
Mount Vernon will be declared to be open
and free to all who come.

MILwAUKEE's BOLD BURGLAR.
Compelling q Woman to Give Him Her
Money and Escort Him Over the House.

Compelling q Woman to Give Him II er
Money and Escort Him Over the House.
MILWAUKEE, May 9.-Another bur-
glary, similar to that at the Ray residence
on Thursday night, was perpetrated at
the residence Of George II. Atwell, 231
Twenty-iourth street last night. The
burglar effected an entrance by cutting
out pane of glass in the rear door. The
first intimation any of the household had
of his presence was when Mrs. AtweI
was Weakened by a noise in her room.
Opening her eyes she saw masked man
standing by the foot of her bed. He de-
manded her money, which she gave him
to the amount of $40. Mrs. Atwell was
then compelled to arise and escort the
thief over the house. Passing the door of
her daughters room, the man started to
enter, when Mrs. Atwell said:
There is no one but a servant in
there"
"Who is the other young ladyp was
the sharp inquiry.
"My daughter"
~ thought 500 replied the burglar. 81
was in there before"
Being informed that there were three
men in the house, the visitor cOOlly re-
spOnded that he knew it.
In the children's room he was on the
point of taking a small sum of money,
when Mrs. AtWell told him that it be-
lOnged to the children.
''In that case, as l love little children,
| will leave il" was the polite reply, and
he did.
During the half hour in which the rob.
Der looked over the house ne informed his
trembling companion that he was the
person who entered Mr.. Rays house a
few evenings before. When about to de-
part he asked Mrs. Atwell to come down
and close the door. She asked to be eX-
cused, whereupOn he turned and inquired
If he had not treated her well.
Il don't know whether you have or not
have not had time to think" was the
reply.
"When you do have time I think you
will acknowledge that l have. Good
night" and he disappeared.
During all this time three men were
asleep on the floor on which Mrs. AtwelPs
bedroom is situated. Fearful of the con-
sequences, she did not awaken them,
while the burglar necessarily was equally
particular. He went away comparative
ly empty-handed, the result of his fOray
being the $40 Mrs. Atwell gave him, sill
yer watch, and pair of bracelets, the
total value being but little over 800.

MARY ANDERSON.
Her Next Season in America and Five
Succeeding Years in Europe.


Succeeding Years in Europe.
LONDON, May 9.-Ever since the close
of Miss Mary Anderson's engagements at
the Lyceum Theatre, two weeks ago to-
night, she has been enjoying a round of
society pleasures and has become the
lioness of the season. The continuous
excitement has affected her looks and
health, and she acknowledged to-day that
she was thoroughly tired out. She spoke
cheerfully, however, and said that every
body had been so kind that she found it
hard to drag herself away from London,
but her medical advisers insist upon the
necessity of rest, and therefore she pro-
posed to retire to the continent for few
weeks.
She added that she hoped to return and
reappear in London before making her
hnal tour of the provinces. That, she
said, would begin in August and end in
October at Dublin, whence she would go
to Queenstown and embark there in time
to reach New York early in November.
She expects to play in the United States
ten months, and win then return to
Europe. Her engagements on the con-
tinent and England already cover three
years, and it will probably be five years
before she returns to America after her
tour Of 1SS5-S6.
